/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

My old monitor just died, should I get an IPS or TN for my new one? I'm using it mostly for muh video gaymes and I'm looking for one that's not too expensive.

Hello,

I fell for the Seagate meme and just lost my 1tb external hard drive (shit isn't mounting anymore).

Any recommendations for a new USB storage device?

Install gentoo wiki suggests to just buy a regular hard drive and use an adapter case for it, is that ok?

Can I put more RAM in my laptop? Is it as simple as slotting it in or could I actually fuck it up?

Clevo W370SS

Can a change of compilers (from Microsoft's C++ compiler to G++) cause a segfault in some way? Like, could something thats fine in VS cause somemthing as bad as a seg fault when compiled on Linux?

Thanks :)

>>60799424
If the RAM isn't soldered in then you can add more.

>>60799439

Great, thanks. The slots are not soldered :)

there used to be an android game called infected
what the hell happened? it's no longer on the play store, and i can't find any records of it online
the shit was like magic when it came to passing time, it could make hours seem like minutes
any of yall know what i'm talking about?

>>60799406
elaborate?

Should I learn React (for job applications) or is it just a meme library?

Yesterday my PC froze and then I turned it off, after that my PC won't boot, not even get to the Asus screen, I get zero video output, and CPU_LED is solid red on the motherboard.

I tried removing ram, removing my GPU and removing my CPU and putting it back on. I have no idea what to do anymore. I have an AMD FX 8350 and an Asus m5a99x Evo r2.0 motherboard.

I'm starting to run out of options, I tried clearing CMOS, checking the 24 pin cable and the CPU power cable, checked to see whether there were any bent pins. Nothing worked.

>>60799385
What resolution and frame rate do you desire to play at?
What GPU do you have?
And what kind of games do you play?

>>60799480
Are you thinking of Plague Inc. or Pandemic?

Two questions:
I have a couple (actually a few thousand) texture files that are, supposedly, .tif files but their headers don't match up to any common image file format. Is there any way I could figure out what they are?

Is there any program that extracts data from a file following a certain pattern (e.g. a bunch of JPG images put together, uncompressed in an archive format)?

>>60799274
HDD SMART question

My HDD sometimes doesn't start or starts with clicks on my pc. I do think this is because of my pci psu or something because it never does that with a HDD box.

Somehow it got its spin-up retry count to 1, so bios and os triggers many alarms as it doesn't pass SMART self check. But it does pass short and long self tests.

Is there a way to reset the spin-up retry count? Is it got triggered because of my broken pc or the hdd is dying?

>>60799404
Yes, buy toshiba and an enclosure, as it is the only non-US brand and thier HDDs are pretty good.

>>60799602
1080p 60hz is fine, I'm not looking for anything too fancy as long as it's nothing less than that. My GPU is an R9 380 and I play pretty much all kinds of games

>>60799628
nope
it was called infected, and it had nothing to do with zombies or disease, or any of that. it had absolutely no theme to it, just gameplay mechanics with different coloured hexagons

Is it time to upgrade?
Can I get a laptop with specs like this now?

>>60799558
Check your PSU, its voltages. It is probably it.

If I root/flash a custom rom on my phone would it mess anything up with the cellular stuff like texting and calling? I assume it doesn't save anything from when you flash a rom unless you do some extra steps.

>>60799734
Mostly not. Check xda forums, some sony and lg phones start to take shittier pics. That should be it.

>>60799727
Upgrade the video card if you're gaming. The 3770 is still a pretty respectable processor.

>>60799732
Fucking hope so, don't want to buy another cpu

>>60799770
Alright thanks, but it won't save any other apps/settings by itself right?

>>60799655
IrfanView will alert you if certain file types have the wrong extension, could try that.

Yes. This is my laptop which I bought 3 years ago. It was cheap.

If you just root by an exploit, app or something, nothing will change.

But if you root by unlocking your bootloader, it will factory reset the device.

If your root method resets your phone, some apps are backup-able by "adb backup" command.

>>60799800
install LFS

>>60799884
Ok but that only applies to just rooting right? I was thinking of flashing a rom as well.

Hey mate I had the same problem.
It's powershell updating itself. Try disabling it.

>>60799925
Yeah, flashing a rom will wipe it clean, at least it should. You can't use a rom's user data with another. You have to backup the apps with something like titanium backup.

How do I know if I have a miner on my gpu?

Sorry, I was eating dinner.

I'd get the Viewsonic XG2401 if you're going for a 24" 1080p 144hz TN monitor with FreeSync.

https://pcmonitors.info/reviews/viewsonic-xg2401/

The Samsung S25HG50 might be good, but no solid reviews yet.

https://pcmonitors.info/samsung/samsung-s25hg50-144hz-tn-model/

I'd get a Samsung CF24G70 if you're going for a 24" 1080p 144hz VA monitor with FreeSync.

The Samsung CF24G70 is curved, forgot to mention. There are pros and cons for IPS vs TN vs VA, figure out what best suits you and if possible, see the monitors in person.

Ask about IPS monitors on /r/monitors. A few regulars are pretty knowledgeable.

PM NCX on reddit (https://www.reddit com/user/NCX/). He knows his shit.

So I decided to indulge in some autism and reduce my browser fingerprint. Among other things, I turned off remote fonts, aaand now panopticlick is saying I'm reporting my fonts as Wingdings and Wingdings 2.
Best thing is, 1 in 12 browsers are apparently doing the same thing.

I can't take Windows 10 anymore. Its finally broken me. I'll play "muh games" somewhere else. I can't Dew™ it any longer.

What Linux distro should I install on my first self-built PC.

I want all the bells and whistles, privacy is important but i'm not trading bitcoins with Pajeets and Dmitry's or anything and anything is a step up from Windows 10. Noob friendly helps. Please. I want to join the Linux.

$400 for a 1080p monitor is just retarded

>>60800127
You sort of get what you pay for in monitors.

If you somehow can manage it, I'd really recommend saving up and getting a Viewsonic XG2401.

But if you can't deviate from your budget, try pming NCX or making a thread on /r/monitors, I'm not as familiar with IPS monitors. They'll be able to help.

>>60800189
The ones I recommended were under $300. Closer to $250. The ViewSonic XG2401 is $250.

how do i convince my boss to leave my laptop alone? he's extremely computer illiterate and keeps insisting that i should be running an antivirus

i work from home. my boss hired some "internet security expert" that wants to charge us to install this and some other shit on my personal laptop

i haven't had a fucking virus in over 10 years. i literally don't know how to explain this to him: MY PC IS FINE LEAVE IT ALONE

>>60800228
At least where I'm from. Prices vary from country to country.

>>60800228
I'm not him.

I was just speaking in generalities. How does Samsung think that's a fair price, and why are people paying it?

>>60800206
Ok well, one last question, does that Viewsonic have a matte or glossy screen? My computer is near a window and I would prefer a non-glossy one.

>>60800242
You need a lawyer, not a tech.

Will an Accelero Arctic Xtreme 4 for an Rx 480 fit in an ENERMAX ECA3351A case?

The cooler is 288 mm and the case width is 390 mm, but I know for a fact that the cooler width starts at the middle of the card due to the heatsink being in the middle, so I'm not sure there will be enough room in the case.


please fucking help me figure this out

>>60800264
But yeah, I agree.

I wouldn't pay $400 for a 1080p monitor. Max I'd pay is $300.

>>60800283

lawyer? this isn't a legal issue and i have nothing hide on my pc.

i'm not being forced against my will. he even offered to buy me a work laptop. but i don't want to waste company money on this shit

i guess my question is how do you convince normies that you don't need an antivirus if you know what you're doing

Why is my Ryzen 7 1700 so hot? The cpu doesn't show up in speccy for some reason so I'm using HW to watch the temps. There are three temps for some reason but 2 of them are above 40C and one is 60C when idle.

What's wrong with Firefox/4chanX?
2 out of 8 GB RAM used, CPU at below 15%, no termal throttling (40-45C).
Yet I still get random few second freezes, it's laggy from time to time, sometimes completely crashes.

Also: "Always purchase from retailers with hassle free return and exchange policies. Read retailers return and exchange policies before buying."

>>60800551
Well from your screenshot the temps only seem to shoot up when the cpu boost is active,
also 70C isn't terribly hot.
When it's just at 3Ghz is it still that hot?

Which would boot faster a 250 GB SSD or a 500 GB SSD?

I am going to build a new RAID array inside my Windows PC. Thinking of going RAID5, maybe RAID10.

Is onboard RAID shit for RAID5?
Should I invest in a RAID card? What's a good model to look for? New or used.
My mobo only has 2x SATA 6Gb/s ports, so any other RAID has to go through the 3Gb/s SATA ports.
If I use 8TB WD Reds, will I notice a difference?

>>60800172
Either install ubuntu or debian.

Ubuntu has a large community to help you get started.

Debian is pretty stable but you won't learn shit and freak out when you stumble upon a problem.

Pick your poison.

Thanks, I'm just on the fence on whether or not I should get a 250 or 500 GB SSD.

>>60800727
Hardware RAID is generally not recommended. It is doubtful that you'll see any sort of difference between 3 Gbps and 6 Gbps ports with hard drives.
You may want to look into ReFS instead of RAID5 also.

Very new to programming here

What is the point of using a text editor like vim or emacs over using an IDE? I currently only program in Java, so that may be why I only have experience with IDE.

>>60800816
memes. nobody here actually uses vim.

>>60800816
Making quick, minor adjustments is a lot faster in vim. Also, muh bloat on minimal installs. People will also say IDEs can coddle a beginner too much for them to develop stronger bug-fixing skills.

Note that I almost exclusively use an IDE while programming, I'm just saying why people wouldn't.

I have over 25000 jpges i need to sort.They are all under the similar naming pattern of

How can i create folders based off the name and then move the jpgs to the folder?
"NAME-NAME2-ID-00" will always be the same set while the "000" is 001-XXX
Example
A-B-C-01 would be the folder name and all files matching this string would me moved in to that folder,the 000 being 001 to the highest number set in that string

Learn to build a pc on your own. It's not adult legos as some people would claim, but it's a lot easier than you would think. The really hard parts are troubleshooting and choosing the parts. And resisting the urge to upgrade right after you build.

>time
Buy from a boutique builder. Ask around for a good one. Just as a note, sometimes, not often but sometimes, even Best Buy has a gaming computer that is actually worth a damn. Look around for a pc that costs $100-$250 more than its processor and video card combined. I would consider that to be good value. Even better if it has an SSD.

Yeah your power supply probably can't handle it. A completely new build would be nice but upgrading your pc isn't impossible. Post specs of current PC.

>do you think the pc i showed you could run games pretty good?

Yeah, 6700+1060 6gb will do most gaming just fine.

Can you use more than 1 CPU cooler? I ordered one then found out the CPU I bought comes with one too.

Am in a loop where I keep thinking about switching to Arch Linux and then chicken out for fear of some bug or package breakage making my system unusable or deleting my rare Pepes. the only things I like about Archer on the documentation and the Aur. I love old video games end they are makes it very easy to track down source ports games like RollerCoaster Tycoon and XCOM. I know about men jarrow but they have a long history of being incompetent and I don't want to use Ubuntu for entirely artistic reasons. I've been trying Debian for its stability but it's harder than expected to get meh games runing.

Do PSUs lose power over time? My PC was getting randomly shutdown when under load. Then it started turning off even when light use ie browsing the web. Now it won't even boot, but some fans are still spinning, LEDs are on, Evo 212 spinning, but the 970s fans aren't spinning despite the lights on it being on. Switching GPU doesn't change a thing, fans of my old 6850 are also not spinning, PC is not booting. I guess the 650HX is done for, only 4 years of constant use, sounds shitty to me.

i just bought a moto g5 plus and went to plug it in with the charger that came with it and it didnt show that it was charging, so i swapped the turbocharger base for a regular one and it was fine and showed it charging
was it not showing turbocharging for any reason other than a broken/faulty charger base or is it not shown the same as regular charging?
i've never used anything with fast charge before so i don't know if its something i'm doing wrong or if my charger isnt working right
i'm charging it overnight but i just wanted to know if the charger straight up doesnt work or if i need to enable turbo charging or something for it to work

Am I demanding too much by expecting a PSU to still be alive and kicking after 4 years of constant use? Pretty much 24/7 use, constant playing games. I don't ever overclock though. I guess there's no use in crying over spilt milk, but it's not like I bought some chinese POS that could explode my setup, I paid some good money on that 650hx and not being covered by the US-only 7 years warranty is just bumming me out.

So I just bought a complete Core 2 Quad system for $28 bucks and change.

Thanks to the Anon from yesterday. I'm the guy asking about the thrift store prebuilts.

I own a toshiba satellite u845w-s400, which is one of those thin models that doesn't have a disk drive. It's also too thin to have a proper ethernet port, what it has instead is this weird hinge opening. This has made it impossible to insert the ethernet cable successfully, because the hinge will just fall out.

Is there someplace I can better find answers to this situation or should I just get a ethernet->usb adapter?

Im planning to connect my PS2 controller to my PC.

Anything in special i should look for in an adapter?

>>60802221
No, but efficiency dies and reliability decreases based on care and temperature.

I've been having bsods, thought they were related to the hard drives so I changed them out and i got them less often.
Now I have "the file is possibly corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum".
The bsods usually had to do with memory, driver, or kernel.
Is it the motherboard? Memtest said RAM is fine.

Hey i had that CPU.

Do you even have money to upgrade or you just want to revive it?

I would replace that drive and backup everything you want/need. I had a seagate 2TB do similar things.

Thoughts on this ?

>>60802565
I really don't have much money, but I'm working again so I can get some money enough in a few months.

I just don't know if it's even worth reviving and upgrading. I really just want to have it modern again, be able to run some modern games, and I really need a computer at home to run autoCAD for school work.

Well, do you have any budget in mind?
Your new build will be a low end or a high end?

The only thing you can upgrade your computer that is worth it is a low end videocard that will be thousand times betters that your current one (GTX 1050Ti).
And upgrading to windows 7.
Other than that, nothing that you can upgrade.

I have an external hard drive in which I have installed an operating system.
I try to connect it to another computer rather than the one it was originally created on and it will not connect to the internet.
How to fix and what is wrong?

>>60802689
Hopefully a lower to mid range build. I really need to budget and planning out really helps me out live life. Thanks a lot anon. It really helps knowing I'm really just going to start a new build.

You can use PCpartpicker.com too to check if the parts are compatible, also so others could rate your build.

Still, for what, test it works? to actually play something that entertains you?

>>60803044
Doesn't really matter unless there's a specific feature you want or you're an extreme overclocker. Of course, you're going to need a new motherboard to match up with your CPU socket.

Does Windows 7 Pro use 7.7GB for just the installation?

I installed Windows 7 Ultimate in a VM and it's using 7.7GB for just the base installation (I haven't even set up anything yet, I literally just installed and rebooted and the VM size is 7.7GB). If W7 Pro uses significantly less space, I will probably just use Pro instead.

>>60803044
You rarely need to upgrade a motherboard unless you need a feature your current one doesnt have.

Using it for MMOs, mainly FFXIV, since playing it on a PS4 kind off not that great.

Can anyone make a quick rundown on password managers? Why should I use one? How do they work? What are the best?

Google gave me a malware warning for a site I wanted to view. I went ahead and viewed it anyways, to no ill effects as far as I can tell.

I have script blockers and ad blockers shit installed, so I figure maybe it's a script that's malicious and why I didn't see anything.

If I save the page as an html page with the complete setting so images and shit get saved, would that also save any malware and would i get myself infected if I open up the html file if the malware was intially indeed present on the page and my adblockers and script blocker extentions just intially blocked it, but wouldn;t if I opened it up if it was saved locally?

>>60804863
You should use one because you'll never remember good passwords otherwise, so you'll make shit ones or reuse them between sites, which is far worse than any security risk from having a password manager. They also make shit hella easier. The best online service is lastpass and the best offline self-managed one is keepass

I have a batch file to switch screen when i open a steam game (i have 2 screens)
it goes like this

@echo off

how can i make it switch back to 2 screens when the application is closed? the command would be

Sometimes if left on for >6 hours it bluescreens.
i mentioned it in a gaming group someone said use crystal disk to determine hdd health (screenshot) how do i fix that?
Also when i was running speccy to find the PC specs its temperature is red (im just playing music right now, no games) im assuming this is bad? how do i fix that?

Only suggestion from someone was to buy a new hdd and re-seat the heatsink. Is it worth buying a bigger heatsink?

I guess my questions shorten to;
1) How do i fix my pc?
2) what should i upgrade next?

did you switch the heatsink yourself?
its probably just the thermal paste being old as fuck or the CPU not having thermal paste at all
its a 2011 computer, if no one changed the thermalpaste in all that time you really should
also i recommend you remove any kind of overclock and turn the computer off if you are still getting over 80ºC on idle

>>60806051
No, i havent done any repairs yet, i was after other opinions just in case, i dont know if buying a bigger / better cpu heatsink is a good idea or if i should just re-seat it with new thermal paste.

im going to go to the computer store and buy thermal paste tomorow. watching YT guides now on how to install a heatsink.

dont go overkill, just a small drop in the middle, because if you do wierd shapes with the thermalpaste you can leave bubbles of air that create heat
also changing a heatsink is piss easy, just dont use the computer if its over 90 C its crazy high

if I remember correctly, the guy who owned the domain didn't want to renew it and sold it, I dunno what happened after that.

>>60807620
Is there any archive available?

>>60807595
what device are we even talking about? it sounds like USB debugging isnt turned on/working/supported which means you cannot access the files on win7

>>60807648
Ever heard of wayback machine?

>>60807530

thank for the vm tip but it seems vmworkstation only supports 64bit

any recommendation that is easy to run and runs very efficiently

>>60807714
virtualbox?

I have an old tablet (HP Stream 7) and smartphone (Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830), and a USB-to-miniUSB cable that fits both devices. I want to buy an USB adapter for wall outlets that is able to charge both. Is that possible, what do I buy? Thanks.

>>60807775

that was pretty shitty the last time I tried it

With Ryzen pushing higher core count, wouldn't FX-series CPU's be getting a little bit more lifespan in coming years?

>>60807863
You're not going to get any 64bit vm working on a 32bit host OS.

I'm staying in a hostel where each device gets 500mb a day limit (resets at midnight). Is there any way to reset it earlier/trick it into thinking that I haven't used up my daily allowance?

Will look into it. Thank you.

Hi, I haven't been into PC's for a long time, but I'm wanting to put together a rig for me, and my friend.

I do have some criteria I'd like to meet, and I'm trying to keep it on the cheap side.

>DDR3 compatible for up to 16gigs
>1080 resolution output
>good e-nuff CPU to run modern games (Rainbow Six Siege, modded Skyrim, World of Warcraft, as examples)
>good e-nuff video card to support dual monitor (Do they still run 2 video cards?)

And ideally, I'd like to buy Tower, MOBO, CPU, power supply, fans and HD with OS already installed, but part out the video card and RAM myself, and I wouldn't mind keeping them around $300 a piece, any suggestions?

i have some really small netbeans projects that i'm constantly changing and using in different computers, i don't have a pendrive so everytime i change them i send them to my email
now my question is, is there any way to make this simpler, without using my email? how?

If I'm buying a phone in the US, does a Verizon SIM allow it to be used by any global carrier? I was in BestBuy the other day and the guy said he'd give me a $5 Verizon SIM to allow me to use the phone in any country.

keep your flash drive on you

>>60808350
pls don't make me use google drive

>>60808333
cloud storage? Or just buy a flash drive.

Pretty much any GPU can support dual monitors, and 1080p gaming at 60 FPS is pretty easy to achieve too, even with your budget. With a budget and requirements like that your best option would most likely to get a complete used system locally. Check around and see what is available. Of course price varies a lot by area and by seller, but here's what I'd look out for:

CPU: i5-2400/FX-6300
GPU: R9 280/GTX 770
RAM: DDR3 is pretty expensive right now, so you might have to go with a mobo with 4 RAM slots and just use four 2GB DIMMs @ 1333 MHz for a total of 8 GB

If at all possible I would get a small (60 GB will do) SSD for the OS and an HDD for everything else. Save on the OS by using a trial version of Windows 10, or just crack it if the text bothers you.

>>60808498
Thanks for the input. After some searching, I found this gem on Craigslist, and he's got two just like it I think I'll try and pick up.

https://topeka.craigslist.org/sys/6141103921.html

It doesn't list what GPU he's using, but it does show HDMI, DVI, and VGA ports from it, so I might even be able to run that and have it do everything I need it to.

If you could look at that, and point me in the direction of some key upgrades to get it's performance up to par, I'd appreciate it.

I would more than likely get an external HD for it to hold all the games.

Is a Hyper Evo 212 supposed to be this fucking noisy? Every couple of seconds, my fans turn on really fast/loud, and then calm down.

>>60808624
Dont use your cpu so the fans dont get turned on to cool it

good simple c++ library for downloading (or just storing in a variable) plain text shit (txt, json, even html...) from the Internet?

>>60808545
You'd almost certainly have to switch the GPU out if you intend to use it for gaming. It's probably a super low power OEM card or something. You might also have to swap out the PSU especially if you go for a higher power draw card. If it's a decent 300W PSU or better though, you might be able to get something like a GTX 1050 new without having to swap the GPU and while staying in budget.

RAM is another concern. The motherboard most likely only has 2 RAM slots, with probably a single 4 GB stick in there. It could also have 2*2 GB sticks, which would of course have to be replaced.

While it doesn't explicitly mention the CPU generation either, it might be a i5-2500, which would serve you well enough, considering the price.

Might be a good starting point. I think I've also seen an influx in i7-2600 machines recently for pretty cheap. Those extra threads wouldn't hurt.

Are you front-end/full-stack?

Yes? Yes.

No? No.

Yeah it'll wipe.

If you have Google account sync, all of your playstore shit should be saved.

Images, contacts, and videos too if they're synced.

is there any way to set a window size to specific dimensions on Win10 without downloading some 3rd party shit?

um, i'm using vlc to stream an online episode, while boosting the volume. the boosted volume at 124% seems to only work when the vlc window has the focus, which sucks while multitasking. I tried giving it more priority in the task manager, but doesn't help. Always on top doesn't help too. Any ideas, or a solution to boost the volume under win10. thinkpad t430s that is.

What does usually mean if you keep blue screening before login?

I have an decently old pc with W10 (rip) and I can't get past the login screen and bluescreens before I can enable safe mode as well.

I thought it was a memory problem at first because the first time it crashed there was a gaym open and a bunch of browser tabs, but wouldn't it be flushed after restarting?

>>60805418
>clean cache, delete temp files, if all else fails then just reinstall
Happened on 3 system reinstalls so far.

movie files problem

I have a smart tv which doesnt recognize the sound part of .mkv files (which is used for all my movies)

I have also a ps4, which can recognize the sound part of .mkv files but the files are about 8gb, so they dont fit on a FAT32 usb port (other systems are not supported by the ps4)

what is better: fastest and most comfortable solution, and which one would you recommend, I have no idea about good movie softwares

A) Format the sound part of the mkv files and watch it via TV
B) Split the movies easily and watch it on ps4

How do i remove stuff from this list that opens after right-clicking on stuff. At least tell me what to google because i don't know proper naming.

This https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-HyperX-FURY-2x4GB-1600MHz/dp/B00J8E93G6/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1496939502&sr=1-3&keywords=ddr3%2Bram&th=1

right? Just to be absolutely sure.

Context menu, ccleaner can do this for you

i got an old cam corder and it came with a rechargeably battery that i think is depleted (charger says its fully charged after a minute, it has a few seconds worth of charge)

actual question: i found a switch on the battery pack. there is a red dot on one side. what is it for?

Can I use a USB spliter on my Archer c3150 to hook up multiple USB devices?

I do with my older TP-Link router running openwrt. It may work with stock firmware too.

>>60809879
Will it, or another firmware allow me to jbot, or even software raid em?

How do I get my family to stop using fucking SMS
Every day they come complaining to me about how many problems SMS is causing them
>"Why aren't my messages on my new phone?"
>"Why do I not receive messages sometimes?"
>"Why can't I see the pictures your aunt sent?"
And every time I tell them it's because SMS is a fucking piece of shit, they say
>"But any phone can send text messages, no ones going to download an app to do that"

>>60809931
You will never be able to convince them. Just let it go.

Their carrier is probably shit. Consider verizon or one of their MVNOs. Coverage maps vary a bit depending on the area. If most of their friends don't at least have whatsapp, nothing you say is going to make any difference.

>>60809888
jbot? Don't know what it is. But openwrt is linux+busybox. You can do pretty much anything with it, as long as your cpu and memory are sufficient.

>>60809919
Read your router's page on openwrt wiki. Some can provide the sufficient power. Mine can run only 1 usb powered hdd.

>>60809931
I don't know. And that's also what you should tell your family when they ask you about their normie bullshit.
>>60810002
Thanks. Those are useful programs.

>>60807338
yea, and like 30w when spinning up
ever wondered why servers stagger disk spin ups?

If I have AAC/M4A files higher than 256kb, and I set iTunes to convert then to 256kb, is there a hugely noticeable difference? I feel like it'd only be minute.

I'm trying to do GPU passthrough and the GPU shows up in the guest device manager(albeit with an exclamation mark) but I can't get it to output anything.
Is there some basic thing I'm missing?
