If I apply for a job which supposedly requires 3 years of experience while I have 0 (Z E R O) do I just end up looking like an idiot who's wasting their time or is there a chance they might consider my application regardless of it?
I kinda know these people in person as well, but still

Are people really retarded enough to fanboy this hard for AMD/Intel/Nvidia, or is it just pretending for the sake of shitposting?

Surely people do their research and buy whatever offers the best performance at the price they're willing to pay no matter the brand, right? Surely you're all smart and mature enough to do that, yes?

Can anyone tell me if the following madVR settings are the best for Dell laptop with an SSD, 64-bit Windows 10 installed, an Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 GPU, and 1366 x 768 x 60 hertz resolution?

Deinterlacing: "automatically activate deinterlacing when needed (if in doubt, deactivate deinterlacing)". "Only look at pixels in the frame center" unchecked.
Artifact Removal: "reduce banding artifacts" and "reduce ringing artifacts" both unchecked
Chroma Upscaling: Bicubic75 with anti-ringing filter activated
Image Downscaling: DXVA2
Image Upscaling: DXVA2
General Settings: "delay playback start until render queue is full", "enable windowed overlay", "use Direct3D 11 for presentation", "present a frame for every VSync", "use a seperate device for presentation", and "use a seperate device for DXVA processing" all checked. Everything else is unchecked.
Dithering: Ordered Dithering
Smooth Motion: "Enable smooth motion frame rate conversion...only if there would be motion judder without it" checked.
Trade Quality for Performance: "store custom pixel shader results in 16bit buffer instead of 32bit" and "don't rerender frames when fade in/out is detected" both checked. Everything else is unchecked.

If it's relevant, I'll be mostly watching stuff on a 40in Samsung SmartTV hooked up to my laptop with an HDMI cord.

Feel free to also give suggestions for the other options not listed above.

Depends on what it is. If it's a particular language, emphasize your experience with out languages then just say some bullshit like "I'm a fast learner."
Or, depending on your comfort level, buy a "In a Nutshell" book for a crash course in the language to get enough information to bullshit your way through.

Repost from a thinkpad general

Hey guys, using my x131e with the celeron specs.

I'm trying to get windows 10 the normal route.


let me explain myself
I currently am running a torrented version of win7 with a i think old kmspico cracked key.

now underneath the laptop is a windows 8 sticker.

also this laptop is given the option of uefi or legacy "port"(I'm using port since I don't know the actual term)

i've been told by a friend, that in theory, the win8 key is in the motherboard (idk how it works but ive looked online and is a real thing)


given that, my plan is to uninstall the cracked key on my win7 while booting win8 from usb in microsofts website.

when I get to the thing, it should naturally just find the key and not ask me, right?


I did boot win8 installation from usb drive before, but it asked me for a key anyways. I assume it's because that the fake is still on the computer.


am i wrong? I don't mind the botnet since it's my student laptop, and I heard win10 is better optimized for celeron 1007u than the standard win8.1


Thanks

I hope so

>>59189147
it's kinda tricky because it's "system engineering", but if they're still the same as the last time I was over there, that's pretty much system administration with a few more responsibilities. Ofcourse I have 0 experience with such things in the real world since I'm currently part-time in software development while studying.
I have some classes that I can pick up which would come in handy for it + I still have time to learn on my own since they're no hiring yet, it's an inside info that they will, that's for sure.

I should be pretty close to my ''''''''''master's'''''''''''' degree (actually specialization degree) which is more than enough for the education requirements they'll have, but alas no real experience...
I wouldn't feel right getting this job pulling the strings that I have and then end up being totally incompetent at it

But I'm ok with buying a new mainboard and RAM.

So I have an i7 6770k, 32 GB of DDR4, and a single R9 290 (don't ask). Every time I reboot my computer I have to press the power button like 19 damn times before I get any signal through my monitor. At first I thought it was my GPU because I'm getting BSoDs with 0x0EA error codes whenever I put any stress on the GPU (games, hardware acceleration on browser, etc.) but I've had a handful of instances of my monitor getting no signal when plugged straight into the mobo DVI port. (mobo is a gigabyte ga z170x if that helps) what the fuck is going on?

>>59189363
In that case you could go with any of those cpus. None of those will bottleneck a 1070 and it comes down to whether you prefer stronger single core performance or not.

Any windows program that record how much bandwight i used? If possible how much each individual program used?

>>59189440
Sounds like a power delivery issue to your mobo

as a side, I'm getting a 1070 tomorrow. But my concern is that it's not just my GPU and something else and I'd rather not have to buy a new monitor/mobo/cpu etc as well as a GPU

>>59189469
Didn't think about that. My psu is old as dicks (OCZ 850W from like 2009). I'd just hate to start throwing money and not get the issue rectified as cheaply as possible.

Anyone got any Hard Drive recommendations in the 70$ price range?

I'm seeing a lot of well priced 3TB HDDs but I've heard those are apparently a bad deal.

WHat about the 2TB Toshiba HDDs?

>>59189495
I have a 1TB Toshiba and it started shitting itself about half a year after I bought it

I was reading about thermal grease conductivity, and I didn't expect it to be on the fucking single digits. But would lapping the surfaces, or even soldering the heatsink to the CPU with a low melting point, high conductivity element like tin help?

How do I automatically arrange my music files into this order:

>>59188738
Halp me bros, my computer is kill.
It was working fine but then there was a few days of extremely hot temperatures and even two blackouts. After that it was working fine but suddenly it shutted down. After a while I could start it again, but like one day after it stopped working entirely.

When I press the power button the processor's fan starts spinning but then it dies. I unplugged the GPU and it's the same. After a few tries, now i can't even get the fan to spin for 1 second anymore.

I'm assuming the PSU is fucked up, but it can't be dead, right? I mean, it's receiving power. The ethernet port has the light on and the motherboard light is also lit.

What could it be?
i don't want to buy a PSU just to see everything else is dead

>>59189563

I'm buying a WD Blue or Black soon, it's only 50 or 90 bucks so fuck it

>>59189606
Your motherboard was probably damaged somehow, is there anything else you left out ? What happened in between and before the high temp + blackouts?

>>59189663
Like were you swapping out ram or reseating the cpu?

>>59189663
But what you described so far is telling me that the mobo is fried

Nothing. I rebooted once or twice.

>>59189717
Yeah man, there's little things on the board called capacitors that can get damaged during a power surge, this effects the power delivery to the rest of your components.

Also there may have been damage to the circuits whenever the computer shorted out.

Check your cmos too

Not a question, but I wanted to drop this here:
You can quickly restart Firefox using

Shift + F2 

then writing

restart

in the console.
This is useful for people that loves to keep Firefox open for days, which makes it clogged with junk memory that decreases performance thanks to the garbage collector running wild.
I recommend setting

browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand

to true in about:config, this makes it so that pinned tabs don't load when you start Firefox unless you click on them.

Are the non-flagship phones that get pooped out with no commercials worth buying?

My flagship HTC M8 has shit the bed so hard, it's totally unusable, and it's only a couple years old. And a flagship.

Can I possibly buy a phone that for something like $200 without it being a turd or does a smooth android / iOS experience for a few years really cost $700+ every time I need a new phone?

whats the best android emu

>>59190151
You truly "get what you pay for" when it comes to phones still

>>59190151
Price isn't a good indicator of user experience. The power of phones and their features have reached a point that manufactuerers are having to come up with BS features to try and sell new ones. You can find a lot of good shit for $200 w/o contract, just be aware that some lesser known models don't get a lot of root/rom support or future updates

Been playing around with OBS, unfortunately I have a very shitty recording setup with a very loud fan going at all times and loud keyboard/mouse and etc.
I'm working on trying to reduce some of the physical noise myself, but I'm also wondering if there's a way to rip audio straight from a service like Discord that seems to work well at only capturing actual speech?

Also any general advice on noise management and minimizing background noise would be appreciated. Even with the gain as low as possible on my microphone my computer makes a hell of a racket.

Does anyone here use the foobar2000 mobile UPnP feature?

>>59190227
I don't think you really get what you pay for honestly. $700 is not worth a semi-decent performing phone that dies in exactly 2 years.

Is there any phone that does not fit the stereotype of turning into a piece of shit after that 2 year point? I really just need a cheap phone, and I'm afraid to buy used because of the 2 year lifespan of death by lag.

>>59188580
>>59188748

Stuff like attack(), pickupItem(), move(), getItemFromInventory(), etc ... should be defined on a interface and every class that needs such functions should implement the necessary interface.

You also need to use abstract classes for stuff like characters and items, for example an abstract class named Character can have 3 children, Player, NPC and Enemy.

The rest its up to your design choices.

So, External HDD 1 died. It was the most up to date.
External HDD was the second most up to date.

When I recovered HDD1, a majority of the files did not have names.

Is there a duplicate file program I can run to eliminate the majority of the revoered files from hdd 1, leaving only the newer files without names that aren't on hdd 2
?

>>59190240
do what others do;
use a directional mic and put dampening material on the wall behind you to avoid reflections

>>59190281
Any electronics can break. There's no magical 2 year mark where all phones expire. If you don't treat them like shit they usually last for years, with the possible exception of decreased battery life. And what you save buying used is usually enough to give you some leway

>>59190338
Nope. Every flagship phone I've purchased has shit the bed with lag and glitches after about 2 years.

ok fuck, i'm not a dev and need help with this shit

i have some small powershell scripts i need to distribute to several windows 2012 servers. when i update the code i need to be able to push the updated script to the servers (or have them pull it, even if it's via a scheduled task, i don't care which, it's not incredibly time sensitive)

i work on these scripts from my laptop, my pc, and some test servers, so need to be able to keep everything in sync. also prefer to have a 'central' repo which gets backed up regularly.

My microphone has directional settings, and is general purpose enough that I'd prefer not to get rid of it just for a more specialized mic. What kind of sound dampening material is commonly used?

>>59190861
not sure about specifics, i just know people use them

>>59190861
to clarify, I'm considering putting a sound-dampening "shell" around the fan that causes the most noise, depending of course on the materials involved.

How much gayming performance am I missing out on by not upgrading to Windows 10 and thus DX12? Is Vulkan big yet?

>>59190891
very little and no

If i'm looking to buy a SBC should just get an odroid c2 when they restock? Is there enough support for it? Or should i just buy a rbp 3? Not doing anything too fancy yet but i want room to expand what i do with it. I see people saying stay away from orange pi due to SoC.

>>59190861
Have you considered a separate microphone?

So I just built a new PC and installed Windows 10 with an OEM I got from Kinguin, and I'm having trouble activating it. It says to call the automated phone number. Since it's an OEM do I choose the Volume licensing option?

>>59190941
you can't use OEM keys

>>59190888
there are several methods of reducing computer noise, such as;
- software to control fans to keep them at a minimal speed by targeting a set temperature
- rubber fan/hdd mounting things instead of screws
- acoustic dampening lining in cases
- fanless psu/gpu/cpu coolers
- rubber feet on cases, if yours doesn't already have them

>>59191029
Thanks for these suggestions, I'll look into elevating my case a bit with some rubber feet and see if that helps

My case is actually supposed to have several fans set up, which I'm sure would help reduce noise when set at a realistic target temperature since each fan would need to work less, but unfortunately the company I bought my case from is a no-name chinese scam (the struggles of a first build) and did not come with enough proper connections for all the fans to begin with. I may be able to buy the connection cables and suss out how to get the fans connected and working, though. Then it will only be an issue of getting a low-volume keyboard and mouse instead of the cheap loud equipment I have now

>>59191217
As an additional option, would it be helpful to move the microphone further away from the sound source in addition to masking the noise? I'm more worried about there being an imbalance in the recording if the mic is far off to the side, though maybe this is something that can be re-balanced while editing?
Most websites I'm reading say to keep the mic at least 6 ft from any computer or other electronic noise source, but I don't see how this is supposed to work on a desktop setup.

There's an ant that somehow managed to get inside my monitor and it's scrawling around under the screen and it won't come out. How the fuck do I get it out without damaging the screen?

>>59191217
>My case is actually supposed to have several fans set up, which I'm sure would help reduce noise when set at a realistic target temperature since each fan would need to work less
most motherboards have one or more extra fan power connectors on them (in additional to the cpu fan connector), which allow for speed measurement and most importantly, software speed (pwm) control
you can generally safely run multiple fans off of one connector with a splitter

the idea, as you could imagine, is that you could have your fans run just "fast enough", that is, they run at a very low speed or even off under a certain cpu temperature, and speed up only to maintain a certain set maximum
this means you no longer have full blast fans going when your cpu is chilling out at a needless 25c

>>59191294
Holy shit post pics lol

>>59191306
My case has 6 total fans and only 3 (iirc) total fan connectors, and the instructions for how to connect them are non-existant (and the rest of the connection instructions in broken unintelligible English). Honestly it was down to luck that I got the main fan connected at all.

>>59191294
you could try placing some insect bait/poison on or close to the outside of the monitor casing and hope it can detect it at some point

whatever you do, don't press on the screen, you'll probably just kill it and you'll never get it out

>>59191186
thanks m8

>>59191306
Not that guy but I've tried SpeedFan and it doesn't work when I try to change the case fan speed. Where do I have to plug the fans so it works?

>>59191333
I don't know where it got into it, and the thing has walked around the perimeter of the screen several times so I don't think it knows where it got in either.

Hello friends, I have a G230 headset, now I normally use push to talk and that's well and good, but for controller based games I like to use open mic. Problem is, the mic has some EXTREME feedback, and everyone can hear themselves.

I've tried tinkering with silence thresholds an shit, but nothings working.

PLEASE NOTICE THIS!!!! I keep posting this question on these threads but no one ever notices.

Why are professional mouse pads usually black when the goal of the sensor is to read the reflected light off the surface? Wouldn't it technically help to have the mouse pad as white are possible to maximize the amount of information that is sent to the sensor?

sugar doesn't magically become "healthy" just because it came out of a fruit.
in fact about 20% of the world already gets their sugar from beets rather than sugarcane.

Sugar doesnt make you fat because of some evil poison that the sugarcane processing plants put into it. It makes you fat because it has lots of caloric energy.

Can someone tell me what the big deal with Ryzen is? Theres been more hype for it than any other CPU, so it cant simply be 'its more powerful than the last chip/intels last chip' because that would happen every year.

If you haven't owned a 13' before, get 13, you will appreciate the actual mobility it brings. If you owned 13' before and think you would be fine with 15, then get 15.
Also an advantage of 15 is you can install gentoo on it and run windows with a gpu passtrough to play your vidya or whatever. XPS 15 is also smaller than most other 15' laptops.

The color of the laser (wavelength) doesn't matter too much unless it matches your pad really closely because it will absorb the light.

Well then start with a recent build then and add a video card later on?

Read Logicalincrements.com

Wait for Ryzen(New AMD CPUs) even if you are going to buy intel for price drops.
Buy a I5-6500 or I5-7500.
Dont buy Z motherboards unless you get a unlocked CPU like I5-6600K or I5-7600K.
Buy a cheap B150/B250 motherboard.
What is the difference? Price, and with one you can overclock and with the other you cant.

Dont listen to these tards.

>>59192698
If youre gonna get a 144hz monitor get one with Gsync.
Gsync matches your monitors refresh rate to your GPU's frame output. So like V-sync you wont get screen tearing but you also wont be capped at 60fps.

>>59192930
When you post a PCPartpicker link people easy assume you are.
Should have posted a speccy screenshot instead.

Only get a better PSU if you ever plan in adding a more powerful card.

>>59192689
I tried two different hdmi cords so that's not the issue. The old tv was a little lcd tv so I can assume it was at least 720p but the different between the two resolutions shouldn't be such horrible quality. Like it actually looks 480p.

has anyone experienced a usps lost-package "case investigation"?

i was suppose to get a gtx 1070 2 days ago, the tracking thing said it was delivered but i never got shit. so i called usps and they assigned a "case investigator" to try to locate my shit

he called me the next day and said that when packages are dropped off, the worker will scan them with a little gadget that also sends a geolocation of where they are. so he's gonna look into that and get back to me.

i live in an apartment complex that uses the typical mailboxes. basically packages get put into a big locked box, and then the key for that box is put in the recipients mailbox so they can retrieve it later. i saw the usps person outside my apartment at 10:20~ on the day that it was supposedly delivered, but they didnt drop off anything and the website said it was "delivered" on 10:01 so im assuming that they dropped it off at the totally wrong place.

im just wondering what happens in these cases. they asked me for the value of the item, so im guessing theyll reimburse me if someone just took it after they misplaced it? i called my apartments frontdesk and they said nothing was dropped off, so im guessing whoever got it plans on keeping it.

>>59193085
Of course you can, and yes, they will look worse, comparable to how a modern console game might look on 4k display.

Turning the rendering resolution down has been the poor man's way to play new games for a long time.

>>59193085
i have a 4k display and dont even notice a difference between 1080p games and 4k. its a noticeable difference on desktop programs though.

but i only really play For Honor and Sims 3 so your mileage will vary..

>>59193126
Well I'll wait for the 1080ti benchmarks but unless it's playing everything at 60 on 4k I guess i'll stick to 1440

>>59193085
1440 will look worse. 1080p scales perfectly, although the slight blurriness of a native 1080 pixel can be a little more forgiving than 4 4k pixels

Right now, you should be way more concerned about framerates than resolution. 1440p144 is significantly better than 4kp60 for video games, in every universe, even if you are blind. And like the other guy said, 1080 scales by 2x (an integer) into 4k, while 1440 does not.

>>59192656
>he former query includes null max_enrl entries

It depends on the RDBMS but most database do not consider NULL to be 0, the second query selects the values between -∞ and 199 (theoretically of course), in some RDBMS there are functions to consider NULL as 0 on a query.

A simple way to include the NULL values would be adding:
OR max_enrl IS NULL;

>>59193255
>I understand it's 16:9
>but are movies letterboxed more?

Of course not. Movies are letterboxed at exactly the same ratio. With a 60hz monitor, just like a 60hz TV, you'll experience some necessary framerate conversion (like a few repeated frames every minute), but unless you're some kind of videophile, you will not notice.

>Is there anything to know about 1440p

It depends on which system you use more, but if this its your main computer i recommend getting a new just SSD for linux, 120GB its too short for a modern system.

I have a similar setup on my desktop with a 240GB SSD split in half for windows and half for linux then on my HDD i have 700 GB for windows user directories and 300GB for /home.

But on my laptop i have a 120gb SSD just for linux and windows its on a 500GB HDD.

If you're restricted to just those drives, then install linux on your HDD, because windows use at least 3 primary partitions to install, leaving you with only one primary partition to install linux which its a pain to setup.

WPS vulnerability is the most efficient way to crack a modem.

Its on the wiki, look it up.

Do any of you anons have an offline machine? (That has never been or will be online)
I want to make an archive (Hoard files and data in case its needed when the internet becomes cencored)
Would appreciate some insight.

>>59193705
Why would you need a separate offline computer to do that?

>>59193705
Define offline. I have a 2TB NAS open to LAN and WLAN but not the internet

>>59193705
so you're asking /g/ how to set up a media server for your cp?

>>59193546
I don't think that'll fit. Guess I'm not cut out to be a computer technitian

>>59193705
Unless you're paranoid a NAS its good enough.

But if you are, then a Gentoo machine on a AMD build (Intel chipsets are know to be a botnet), using LUKS for encryption and a 4MB password stored on a flash drive hidden somewhere, with local network access only or even sneakernet only, its the best i can think of.

>>59193794
you just need lots of practice, anon

>>59193794
It doesn't have to fit completely, you need to leave enough copper out to touch the ground or else its useless, you can also use it as chair once you earn your Microsoft MCSE or Cisco CCNA cert.

>>59193810
>AMD build (Intel chipsets are know to be a botnet)
its like you dont even know amd anymore. they have built in botnet too

How to prevent screentearing without meme-sync?
I have a 1070 + i5-7500, and a 144hz monitor.

My external got depowered during a format. Now it doesn't mount,can't be initialized, has input output errors, can't be zero'd with dd, and can't recover a partition with testdisk. SMART says it's okay but it doesn't get a drive letter or show in fdisk. Is it time to hammer it for data destruction, or is it salvageable?

>>59194069
Either V-sync to 144fps or enable double/triple buffer.

Another way is making double the amount of frames per hertz but since you have a 144Hz monitor that means you need 288fps so unless you're playing half-life 1 you wont making that much frames with a 1070.

I can't log in to my router, not the wifi but the router itself.
It's the shitty one my internet provider gave me. I set it up when I first got my internet, set the password, logged in many times to change my wifi name/password. But now suddenly it won't work, I tried pushing the reset button with a paperclip to set it back to default like the manual said, except even that doesn't work. Any suggestions?

>>59194193
Call your ISP, tell them to give you access to the router again, they sometimes disable the access to the webGUI because fuck you.

Sometimes they just change the IP (once they moved mine from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.100.1), try running NMAP to search for the right IP.

>>59194224
Thanks I'll try nmap

This seems possible, they don't like me ever since I used 1.2 terabytes of data in a month.

Hi /g/uys,

I have a laptop with Windows 10 on it. It has a USB 3.0 port, and no CD/DVD drive in it.

I have an external HDD, and I'm using my friends PC to try and download Windows XP/7, so I can play FFXI, which has a lot of problems running on Windows 10.

Is it possible to install the older OS on the new laptop, getting rid of W10, with just an external HDD?

It's not a flash drive, it's a 4TB external HDD.

Thanks for any help.

>>59194467
enjoy your ban

I just picked up an old Dell Optiplex 780 workstation with a Core 2 Quad, 4GB DDR3 RAM, and an HD 3540 standalone video card. I'm planning on using this thing as an htpc. All of my video is in 1080p at around 10-20Mbps with 5.1 surround mixing at around 509Kbps (typical scene 1080p blu-ray rips). I have a few questions.

Question 1: Will this old workstation be able to handle this kind of content?

Question 2: What's the best OS for an HTPC with those specs? I'm torn between windows 8.1/10 for the familiarity, but I know Linux distros are much more lightweight. That said, I don't want to fuck around too much getting drivers for the video card.

Question 3: (this is the really stupid one) would it be better to use the video card or the motherboard output for this? I ask, because I know the core 2 quads aren't terrible cards AND the mobo has a Displayport out connection. I know in most cases, yes, use the video card ports, but this one has me wondering.

>>59194505
Tough to say. Old windows has a hard time processing 2tb+ drives in general, but it might work, if you set the install partition as active and get the bios to acknowledge it. You'll want to patch windows with xhci though

http://pastebin.com/gHCCFBkt

What are the differences betqeen AM3 and AM3+ motherboards/Socket?

>>59194505
Make a partition under 2TB.
Create the bootable installer on it.

Also buy a USB, should be $5-8.

>>59194065
what are the cons? I won't be using it on the road, but I'd like to pull it out when I need it in my room and access all my data.

>>59194505
It would be easier to get FFXI running on Win10 than what you're wanting to do. Your easiest solution is to dual boot Win7 and 10 by partitioning your existing HDD. The trouble with that is many newer laptops don't have drivers for the keyboard/touchpad, WiFi/NIC, etc for windows 7.

If your laptop is powerful enough, you could try and run an virtual machine for Win7, but unless you've got a really nice CPU and a discreet GPU, it's doubtful you could play even FFXI in a virtual environment.

>>59194505
Remember to use MSI smart tool if you plan to boot from the USB 3.0 port.

>>59194680
Mentioned in the pastebin, it's better to use brand-specfic tools where available, and if it's skylake or kaby it won't matter whether it's 3.0 or not

Kobo is an option. I have the Glo HD and it's pretty nice, besides a few issues: frequent slow to repsond and laggy, glossy rim around the screen which can be a problem when using external light sources, feels like it will break under its own weight if held from only one end. I suspect the engineers compromised its strength to get its mass down to exactly the same as the competing Kindle's.

What's the best book or resource to learn Windows Server 2016 from the ground up?

>>59194643
cons, none, but they don't provide perfect protection.

> I won't be using it on the road

Then its not a problem, HDDs can take some mild rattling when they aren't spinning.

If you want a solid solution, build a FreeNAS server and leave it on your home network.

My APC beeps when the power goes out and it's actually using the battery. Is yours plugged in to the wall yet or did you just put the battery in?

Mine doesn't make any noise if it's working normally and the power isn't out.

>>59195274
It's plugged in.

Continuously beeping, no LED shown.

>>59195287
check/reset the fuses.

>>59195287

And pressing the button doesn't stop the beeping? And what about pressing and holding the button the shut it off completely, then turning it on again? Does the beeping start again?

If so then I'm not sure, mines a different model but maybe something's just malfunctioning in that one.

>>59195313

>>59195315
Pressing and holding turns it off. Turning it on causes it to beep again.

Looking into Private Internet Access. I like how it has its own retard proof application since will be my first VPN and I have no clue what I'm doing. My question is, does anyone know if this application messes with my router configuration, or permanently alter the network settings on my PC?

old pc died but Im pretty sure the boot hard drive is fine.
can i install and boot it up in another pc even though the new pc has different mobo, cpu and gpu?
i want to take all my files off it.

You can try, it works sometimes.

I used to use PIA and it didn't affect the router for anyone else connected to the internet.

Who is this guy?

>>59196877
probably bait but I'll bite.
It's Richard M Stallman, known for founding the GNU project and creating Emacs. In recent years he's spent his time advocating 'free' software (free as in freedom, not price). 'free' basically means it's open source, you can change the source code and share it however you want.

Has anyone ever experienced that their display freezes but networking (everything else probably) still works?
I've got a SLI config with 2 GPUs and the last few days it started freezing but I noticed I can still browse, copy and move any files shared on my pc.

>>59196919
thanks for specifying what OS you're using, what your GPUs are, and all the other useful information you provided.

>>59196906
It wasn't bait. Thanks

>>59196925
Why should I have specified that? I'm not asking for help, I just asked if anyone has ever experienced this.

>>59193732
Because it needs to be botnet free.

Intel and AMD both have the botnet features. Although that won't matter since it'll be offline.

Are you supposed to dilute cold brew coffee with more water before drinking it?

This morning i had a problem with my cpu temp, which i didnt have the evening before.

Mobo: Asus Rampage 4 BE
CPU: I7 4820K
H100 cooler

When i turn on the pc the CPU temps instantly climb to 80 degrees celcius and stay between 70-80 after that.
The light on the H100 work, the fans on the rad are spinning, the CPU pump is not very warm to the touch.

Anyone have an idea where to start?

>>59197067

msi afterburner's temp readings are always retarded - just ignore it
if speccy says it's around 60-70 you're alright

The H100 pump that is over the cpu itself is also not very warm to the touch.
