Anyone know how to fix this?
Windows Vista x64, tried the desktop and portable versions and having the same problem.

>>60306464

Well there's your problem.

When is Ryzen 3 APUs supposed to come out?

How good the APUS will be?
Specially if you compare it to a Intel HD 4600 and what about a GTX 1050Ti?

>>60306478
>Windows Vista x64, Windows 7SP1/8/8.1/10 x64, Server 2008 x64 or later
>512 MB or more of free RAM strongly recommended
>At least 150 MB of free (uncompressed) disk space
Says it works on Vista machines.

>>60306349
First make sure that there is free space (4GB minimum recommended), shrink your windows partition if you already didn't:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg309169.aspx

Then, download the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice, I use OpenSUSE and it comes with the choice to install GRUB boot loader.
But first, keep in mind that your HDD needs to be not too old, because GRUB gets installed in the same volume as the firmware, if your HDD is old then it has little free space and the firmware might get overwritten, making booting impossible or even bricking it.

GRUB is the boot loader that allows you to choose which OS to run, when you switch on your machine. I've installed it on a old Maxtor (2008) HDD and it boots fine both OpenSUSe and Win7, but when I tried uninstalling OpenSUSE, windows wouldn't boot anymore (it fucked up the firmware), still, it booted fine after reinstalling GRUB and OpenSUSE.

Everything else is automated by the installer of the GNU/Linux distribution, but if you still aren't sure then watch some YT tutorial:

Get the remaining vista updates via WSUS Offline and see if that helps, or try rolling back a version of Palemoon. Shouldn't you be running Windows Server 2008 if you want a Vista machine though?

>>60306545
I downloaded the x86 version and it works now. Thanks anyways.

whats the best way to dual boot off two separate drives?

>>60306640
Depends what your dual booting. If your dual booting linux and windows install windows first because it causes problems that other way around. There is no special way its like partitioning a single drive but its a physical split.

Is running 3x10TB in raid5 really that bad? Are 10TB drives mature enough yet to store muh chinese cartoons?

is there a free version of parallels access that works as good?

If I translate the Graphics2D drawing context origin to the centre of the screen in java, can I draw negative of the x and y?

I'm planning on finally getting an SSD as my main drive.

Is it possible to use/move my current windows 10 license (windows 7 upgraded to windows 10) to the new drive? I don't want to buy a new license.

It's been so long since the last format and clean windows installation that I'm actually looking forward it.

>>60306692
makes sense. Is grub still the best way to boot up and select which drive to use? I tried dual booting a single drive many years ago but forgot much about it

>>60306807
If you're just replacing the disk drive it won't even matter. You can clone or reinstall.

>>60306833
Thanks! I take that when you reinstall it lets you choose the drive, right?

>>60306828
Grub is what most prefer and what I personally used.

>>60306807
Your Windows key is bound to your motherboard, not install or storage.

>>60306908
Yes, it lets you select a partition or in this case your new SSD.

You can keep your windows install in your HDD for backup porpoises.

can someone recommend some good IDEs for python on windows?

I've been using idlex but it feels a bit lacking

>>60306599
now this is an actual stupid question

>>60306926
Thank you, really helpful.

i tried ubuntu on a flash drive and it everything seems to work apart from one thing which is bugging me, the pointer feels weird to use, it's not jittery but it just feels either overly sensitive or very slow, this is literally the only thing putting me off. why must it feel so uncomfy

Does anyone know a firmware version of Telstra tg797n v3 with the option to ghost the Mac address?

>>60306970

>>60306932
I used liclipse once.
Powerful but not particularly lightweight.

I generally use Eric though.

I'm unsure what happened, but windows is no longer recognising HDMI audio through my AMD card.

Thus far i've uninstalled and reinstalled the GPU drivers and the sound card drivers with no change.

Only other thing i can think of is to try a linux live image and see if that picks up the HDMI audio so i can eliminate there being a problem with the card itself.

>>60306991

Does it matter if I don't put my graphics card in the first/top pcie slot ?

>>60307331
usually no
just try it

>>60307325
what homework

>>60307331
Technically usually yes, pretty much all motherboards have only one real x16 slot, the rest are x8 at best. However it should not affect performance of a GPU in vidya.

>>60307338
>>60307367

thanks anons, Im using an MSI board and apparently they are all x16 slots but there are a few tards on other forums saying that the bandwidth is noticeably different

Yea like that one.

>>60307209
Home server. Depends on what kind of configuration you want.

is there a 240mm clc that works with AM4 out of the box (as in not having to wait for fucking ever for a mounting bracket to come in via mail)?

Is edge a good browser now?

>>60307586
no and it will never be

>>60307020
it cost nothing to try that. Then you'll maybe consider using a proper OS.

More seriously, sometimes with your mobo there's a software that comes to handle the audio on your system. Realtek audio or some shit like this, maybe you can configure something from this kind of useless software.
Or try to disable your other sources of audio and make the HDMI default one.

>>60306321
Recently bought a new mobo, new ram, new gfx card, new psu, new cabinet, new processor. All in medium range for gaming. Didn't buy new harddisk and mine is old af. i can run every game smoothly like witcher 3, quantum break etc.

Tried on /biz/, but those guys just pump&dump without any actual knowledge of the coins.

I mined ETH in 2016 Q1, and after that forgot about my wallet. I asked on IRC about my coins, and someone stated that I now have the same amount of ETH and ETC which makes no sense to me personally.

Could someone elaborate on what happened during the Ethereum hard fork, and what is the situation with my precious bytebux?

>>60307676
What kind of hard disk? How old? How long in use? What did you do with it? Fragmented? SMART test? If your hard disk is shit, you'd notice (long) loading times in games. Did you experience those?

Yes.

>>60307020

Update; HDMI audio works fine under linux. So its a problem with Windows somewhere.

Is Raspbian a GNU/Linux distro, or simply a Linux distro?

>>60307724
sys restore

>>60307676
Yes. Get an SSD as soon as you can afford it and install your OS + main programs on it.

>>60307756
It utilized GNU corelibs, so it's a GNU/Linux -based OS.

>>60307792
OK, thanks. I could take the easy way out and call it a Linux distro as my profs won't care, but I want to be autistic about the nomenclature.

>>60307715
>>60307778
4 years old, yes long loading times. 500 gb western digital.

If i keep this hard disk and buy an SSD and install os + main programs on it, will it be okay or do i need a new hdd

>>60307819
why are you trying so hard not to buy a new hdd when you've only got a 500gb one right now?

>>60307819
You can keep the old one as a storage drive and install games on it. But you probably shoudn't do that, just toss it into a bin and get a 2TB replacement. Hard drives aren't that expensive.

>>60307822
>>60307872

I want to begin using a personal wiki.

I don't care about having to host it myself or it being hosted in 3rd party.

My priorities are ease-of-use and being able to access it anytime, anywhere, and from any device.

Not unless it's somehow fucking up a legacy program you absolutely need to use and compatibility mode isn't cutting it.

I thought this code wouldn't work because the param 'dest' looks untouchable by this function, but this works. How? How does this code writes 'dest'? Does C++ use magic?

int DDSDecompressDXT1( unsigned char *src, int width, int height, unsigned char *dest ) // DEST param
{
    int                x, y, xBlocks, yBlocks;
    unsigned int    *pixel;
    ddsColorBlock_t    *block;
    ddsColor_t        colors[ 4 ];
    
    // setup
    xBlocks = width / 4;
    yBlocks = height / 4;
    
    // walk y
    for( y = 0; y < yBlocks; y++ )
    {
        // 8 bytes per block
        block = (ddsColorBlock_t*) ((unsigned long int) src + y * xBlocks * 8);

        // walk x
        for( x = 0; x < xBlocks; x++, block++ )
        {
            DDSGetColorBlockColors( block, colors );
            pixel = (unsigned int*) (dest + x * 16 + (y * 4) * width * 4); // DEST being used (?)
            DDSDecodeColorBlock( pixel, block, width, (unsigned int*) colors );
        }
    }
    
    // return ok
    return 0;
}

How exactly does eGPU bottleneck calculate? According to the figures I've heard, an eGPU setup running through an ExpressCard 1.0 interface has "60%" performance compared to a proper desktop PCIe interface – does that mean you'll get 60% of the performance of the card, regardless of what card it is? Could I get 60% of the performance out of a 1080Ti on my lowly X220?

depends on what you want to connect to a molex. Generally a SATA-to-molex is your best choice.

My phone had a stroke of sorts, or more probably maybe my micro sd card inside it. I'm missing a bunch of files from a folder, few are ok and even fewer of them had a garbled filename and extensions. What's interesting that after a restart two of them got their extensions back, and can be played normally (it's just some music).
I'm guessing the files are all there, it's probably something to do with the filesystem indexes or however they are organized on an sd card.

What tool should I use to get the files back?

What's the best way to get firefox bookmarks to a different pc?

How do I block robocalls? I made the mistake of sharing my phone number with some ((company)) and now I get 2-3 calls a day.

>>60311239
save their number under a recognizable name so you can either reject it or leave it on so they waste money on calling you for nothing.

>>60311276
They never use the same number twice and although its usually a number with an out of state area code. Leaving it on after saying something to activate the recording just to spite them might be a good idea. Who knows, maybe after a few wasted calls the botnet would learn to not waste its time with me.

>>60311239
Let it ring. The robot will hang and will blacklist the number.

>>60311226
Export - Import.

>>60311239
You don't block them, you just ignore calls from numbers you don't recognize. The company behind it all will have a system in place to filter out numbers that never pick up.

Basically I couldn't get into the system, because the screen would be completely blank, and there was a mysterious other account that i couldn't log into.

After multiple attempts to get into Safe Mode I finally was able to. I'm not sure what I did differently this time. I reset to factory defaults (which means I lost Windows 10 and I am back to 8) and it works fine now, or so I thought.

I went over to browse Tom's Hardware and I got an Amazon popup that looks like I searched for RAM sticks, And now it seems every site I go to (sans 4chan) is giving me popups like this, stuff that is related to the content in some way in a way that looks like I searched for it.So clearly there is still some bullshit still on here.

I guess the only solution is to do a deep wipe, but obviously the Alpha doesn't have CD drive, and I don't have an external, so D-BAN is out of the question.

Do you guys have any suggestions?

No that's the thing. When I try to go to registration, it sends me to a redirect to www.playperks.net/ which is a scam site I'm already familiar with, but apparently FileFreak has daily visitors and a high trust rating from what I've gathered, so I'm thinking, maybe the site's been compromised, or maybe my sources are outdated. Did it send you to filefreak.com/register, or playperks.net

Just had a problem with a power split plug (pic related), the switch has somehow broke and it didn't light the plug but I heard a little buzzing sound from the power split plug and from my PSU in my PC. Very light buzzing like bad contact, so I just changed the power split plug for a new one.

But I'm worried about the very light buzz sound I heard in my PSU for a couple seconds when I tried to light the power split plug. My PC runs well though. Could it have damaged my PSU (a seasonic s12) ?

Some time second half this year, nothing more specific has been announced. The APU parts may not be branded Ryzen.

Beat HD4600 for sure, Kaveri already does that. Match 1050Ti probably not, RAM bandwidth available is the limiting factor. If the rumoured HBM APUs come to desktop ever they could be quite a bit more powerful, but likely wouldn't be AM4.

If an ISP gives you free data for certain APPS, what wouldn't be against Net Neutrality?

>>60312501
G4560 would be nice.

For super cheap the android boxes work fine.

>>60313027
Yes.

>>60313087
So if I see some big ISP doing that, should I search some organization or something that could sue them or something? I don't know what the steps would have to be.

>>60312285
Yes. 2.5" drives are also generally quieter than 3.5"

>>60313108
What country? Very few strictly require neutrality.

>>60313027
>>60313087
I thought net neutrality is about packet prioritizing, not data prices/caps.

>>60313134
Spain, Vodafone to be specific.

>>60313144
It is not only about that. Think that >free data could be ending being prioritizing data or just biased data because consumers want it more for example. I'm not expert on this topic, though, someone probably will explain it better than me.

>>60313144
It's a pretty broad term.

How can static electricity affect a tv/monitor? I'm gonna be moving soon and I'm trying to figure out if I should buy one of those anti-static bags or just wrap shit up in blankets. My tv is I think 48in, and my monitor and smaller tv are much smaller.

>>60313201
>>60313198
I'm just a bit confused because here in Moscow, Russia, back when data caps and pay-per-gb were still a thing, most of ISPs and hostings established peerings so visiting sitess on those hostings was free and nobody considered it bad.

so before i ask this i'll mention i live in the UK and im not sure if things are different in murica

i just switched mobile networks and when using my new sim card i occaisionally get 4g in my house but often i get an icon saying "H+" im guessing thats something before 4g but is there much of a idifference between the two?

what the fuck is snapleaks ?

If I'm wrong, correct me anons.

>>60313311
An example to that would be if suddenly the ISPs decide that only some customers with X plan will get free data to those hosting. You're violating neutrality because you're not offering same to every one.

It lacks details but would be a good resume imo.

So i wanna pirate games without having to bother about malware.

I plan to do this, use a laptop HDD i have lying around, unplug my main OS HDD, install windows on the 2.5" HDD and install games to it.
Is this a good idea?

>>60313405
HSPA+ is 4G, it means atleast 21Mbps.
LTE is 100Mbps.

>>60313198
As far as I can see, Spain seems to have no law requiring strict net neutrality. Zero rating is allowed under current BEREC regulations in some circumstances.

>>60313497
so when the icon says H+ thats the HSPA+ and still 4g and when the icon says 4g its LTE yeah?

>>60313529
Fuck, I don't like how it looks tbhfamalampai.

We strongly tend to fuck things up.

>>60313530
Yes.
H+ means from 21Mbps to 600Mbps, LTE is 100Mbps to 1000Mbps.

H alone means 3G and is 14Mbps tops.

I know it comes at the cost of disabling power saving features (more idle power draw, temps, wear), and adds no performance benefit in CPU-heavy tasks.

Technically at first I just wanted to replace a few parts of my PC, because my videocard is ancient and dying. But then my HDD started malfunctioning as well, so random parts of the Windows stopped responding every other week.
The situation kinda reminds me of the City of Ember when everything is falling apart and the end is neigh, but it's a lot less fun happening to me.

Anyway, got 8 gigs of RAM, probably the only salvageable part of my PC. Hence my question whether I should trash the whole thing or would it be worth keeping the CPU. In my country they aren't particularly cheap but.. yeah. If it's worth it I'd be willing to buy a new one.

>What happened to your case.
Well my father died two years ago. After a while I realized since he wasn't using his PC anymore, so I could switch his video card with mine. But it turns out, just because a video card is newer, shinier and more silent, it doesn't automatically mean it's better.

In short, it was absolute shite. I had to take it out...but it got stuck. So I panicked. My old video card is now technically taped to the ruins of the back of my case. In my defense in a stroke of brilliance I used heat resistant tape,some wooden branches and it still holds, so...mission accomplished?

I've tried using F8/Shift+F8 to boot into safe mode, but it's Windows 10 so I don't know if it's just not working or if there isn't enough loading time for it to recognize the keystrokes, I've heard of that being a problem.

That other guy sucks.

He's right, but that's kind of a confusing way to think about it conceptually. It's much easier to think of those types of problems in fractional terms. I'll demonstrate.

864 is 60% of what number?

60% can also be represented as the fraction 6/10. To find the answer, you just multiply 864 by the inverted fraction.

864 * 10/6 = 1440

140,000 * 10/7 = 200,000

>drive mode set to ide
>install win7 on ssd
>change drive mode to ahci
>instant bluescreen on bootup
so it's trying to load ide drivers?
Should I just do the registry fix or will something screw up again later along the road?

>>60317992
Do you have AHCI drivers?

>>60317992
Stock W7 SP1 has no AHCI drivers.

Ok so I want to soon start up a NAS, but all my media files are on my computer. They are also seeding to private trackers. How will I transfer all that shit over to the NAS and get it seeding from there? That should act as both a seedbox and a media server for stuff like plex or kodi.

does that ancile telemetry disabling script fuck up windows update or why can't i install any of the new security updates for win 7?

error code 80072efd

My windows 10 is really fucked. I've tried the toolkit but I can't activate it. What am I gonna do

>every gtk theme that I like does this to the menu items
How can it be fixed

>>60316997
not him, but sharing

>>60317024
nope, technically, only 2 disks are needed to make a raid5, though it only makes sense for 3+ (better off with raid1 for 2 disks, but making a 2 disk raid5 can be useful temporarily)

>>60318580
What do you mean.

Did you use MSToolkit to activate it if that is what you mean?
Which vesrion?

>>60318796
Yeah it says my Windows needs activating so I tried using the MStoolkit but when I try to activate it gives me an error. I'm thinking of just buying a genuine copy.

>>60318656
Change font

>>60315070
I was under the impression some of the power saving states on the CPU wouldn't work

>>60318859
Which copy?

>>60318881
Windows 10 Pro

>>60318890
Weird, MSToolkit should activate it, could you show me what the activator says? a screenshot maybe?

Tried it a few times now. It's so frustrating.

>>60319093
Are you using the EZ-Activator option?
Where did you got it? Mydigitallife?

Let me upload it.

>>60314586
It's a gimmick. Those are all regular stereo headsets but come with a USB sound card that does surround emulation, which isn't really necessary, all the current game engines do their own sound processing already that does the same thing.

>>60319136
Yeah I got it from Mydigitalforum

Still you should have no problems doing it.

Are you using the 2016 or 2017 windows pro ISO?

Check task manager, disable windows defender and if the protection service process is running close it when it starts.

i cheaped out on building a pc so used a 650w server supply, now the fans are deafening me. is there a software for slowing them down on linux mint?

>>60319206
Your BIOS should have a option to do it.
Unless you have them connected trough Molex.

Do they have some coating they can put on glasses to make stuff look brighter when you're in a dark environment?

I know they have something that makes things look darker in a bright environment but not sure if the reverse exists.

>>60319222
thanks, the fans were internally wired to psu so i don't think they're hardwired on.

>>60317992
You need to tell windows to enable the AHCI drivers. Can do this either by booting in Safe Mode once with the SATA set to AHCI mode, then you can reboot back to normal mode. Or you can use regedit https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/61869-ahci-enable-windows-7-vista.html

>>60318070
It does, everything since Vista has had AHCI drivers included, problem is it doesn't bother looking for them on boot if it was previously booting using IDE drivers.

>>60306513
you can get the same level of customization with (arguably) less effort.

>>60319206
You generally can't, PSU fans are usually connected to a hardware controller inside the PSU, and there's no data connection between PSU and rest of the system at all.

>>60319224
Not possible, thermodynamics forbids it. Unless you count things like night vision devices.
Anti reflective coatings can make things easier to see by improving contrast.

Gonna do babby's first build soon. I'll be animating in 3D on it so I'll want a good graphics card and cooling, but what parts can I cheap out on?

Is Windows 10 s going to completely screw me out of my Steam library by only allowing app's from the Microsoft store?

>>60319482
None

So far, only S does that.

Microsoft Edge handles all the webpages I visit in unpredictable ways. Sometimes clicking inside a text box doesn't work and so I have to use the cursor keys to go back and edit.

Also, many symbols such as the Post Menu symbol are broken. Common websites like YouTube and Netflix also have very unpredictable behavior when clicking non-hyperlink things like the like button and the Video Manager's GUI.

>>60319620
Yeah but is S going to slowly force itself on everyone's machines like 10 did?

>>60319629
Part 2 because I posted too early. Either way, how do I make Edge not be retarded?

I think it's best to just set the BIOS to boot from each drive whenever you want to swap. that way you never worry about needing the other drive's boot sector to recognize the former drive in case you unplug one or it dies.

>>60319806
note my response was based on your question stating booting from two DRIVES

I presume one operating system per drive

obviously, if it's the same drive, but different partitions, setting it in the BIOS wouldn't be an option

>>60319826
>not using UEFI for everything

>>60319806
>>60319826
Yeah I'll be using one os per drive. Are you saying to just leave it like normal and manually boot the other drive in bios when I want to switch?

>>60319843
>using botnet uefi

How to stop the new piece of shit opera version from forcibly pinning itself to the startbar every fucking time you open it up?

>>60319916
>using ancient hardware or emulation

>>60319910
Yep. If using UEFI when you install each OS it'll create a separate entry in the boot menu, if using legacy boot just pick the name of the drive.

Can also install a boot manager such as rEFInd to make things nicer.

>>60320020
My bios dosent have a remote access backdoor in it

>>60320036
Nice ty. I'll look into the rEFlnd but i'll probably go with normal bios

Is it that hard to game on Linux? I'm about to buy an expensive computer, but I really really don't want to use windows 10. I'll either use Windows 7 (I think I have a spare license) or Linux.

My question though, is, is it really that hard to play games on Linux?

>>60320540
not really, just not all games will work

>>60320540
Is the game designed to run on windows?
Not hard.
Windows?
Maybe.
DRM AAA from a shitty publisher?
Yes.

I was idling on irc when some guy abused that Windows Defender bug and my Windows Defender started freaking out saying it found a trojan. It told me it needed to restart to finish removing the trojan, and when it did I found that it had deleted the entire chat log from the channel, which means I can't go back and look at what it was. I scanned with mbam and Windows Defender and nothing showed up. Am I good or does the exploit run deeper?

I'm mainly looking at playing big titles on steam like CSGO

Linux is getting more gamer friendly anyway isn't it?

>>60320635
What?

>>60320736
>Linux is getting more gamer friendly anyway isn't it?
if you mean it's getting more attention by nvidia/amd to make good drivers, mesa getting competitive, and steam giving attention to linux, then sure

i'd say it's more than game-related companies are getting more friendly towards linux, than the other way around

CSGO specifically has a native linux port

>>60320791
>more than
more that*

>>60320540
Older games and non AAA games usually work with some fiddling, otherwise they have a linux port and will run on debian/ubuntu derivatives with the correct libs

playing gta v for a second time and realised that either the updates made the game more demanding (played it first just when it was released) or my available vram has decreased (???)
is it possible to free some of it or i have no other choice but to play the game with shitty graphics and <30 fps? im quite sure that i used to had near 3000mb or so of available vram.....

>>60320095
AMT/ME/PSP is unrelated to UEFI.

Alright HDD noise question.

I have a 250GB 2.5" HDD that makes noise while i used it as a OS HDD for a laptop, will it make way less noise if i use it as a storage HDD?

>>60321332
Also what are some recommended HDD care tools?

>>60321332
You'll get less "grinding" like noise from the head moving around, but still the same "wooshing" like noise from the platter spinning while it's on. If you're not using it regularly it can spin down, in which case it's totally silent, but takes a few seconds to start up again when you need it.

>>60321348
Nothing.

After I installed windows 10 my hard-disk keeps on working even if the PC is idle. Must be the telemetry?

>>60321681
Could be:
>Defender
>Telemetry
>Windows Updates
>Protection service
Or all of them at the same time.

Is there any kind of device on the market that would allow me to set up my PC audio the way I would like?

I have
>unpowered speakers
>xlr mic, requires phantom power
>PC

I'm looking to connect the microphone and speakers via USB, preferably without having a separate interfaces for the microphone and speakers. I don't know much about audio stuff, but I'm looking for something with two inputs (mic and PC) and two outputs (PC and Speakers). Extra bonus points for something that doubles as an amp for the speakers, but I don't know if that exists.

Hopefully the picture is clearer, I'm looking for something that would serve as the box in the center.

How do I use Vim with a C++ compiler?

this is going to sound really stupid and redundant, but i am using win7, i was wondering: is there a program or software suite that allows me to basically have full access to group policy, registry, win tweaks, etc. all in one? kinda of like Ultimate Windows Tweaker, but aimed towards more advance features of windows via 1 click on/off? For Example: I want to use group policy to disable, or store my windows passwords and or login credentials using irreversible encryption. Anything at all?

It's called "crushrme" if that matters.

sounds like some chink is trying to brute force all relays or man in middle par/ap iso problem... also could be the fact someone is broadcasting on all channels/spectrum even illegal channels. just buy a wifi fryer and leave it on for a while. then ping the ips. if they return with static macs, someone is being a dindu
