I need to buy a new card and GTX 1070s dont seem to have any great deals at the moment. DO I spend $370 on a GTX 1070 or splurge on a 1080?

My monitor is only 75 HZ 1440p though so I am thinking the 1070 at the moment and the only FPSes I play are Overwatch and CSGO but might get Battlefront 2 if it isn't garbage.

Did you recently switch providers?

When I switched, they gave me two numbers I could be called at. My transferred number, and a "new" number that was used by some guy who racked up a loooot of debt.

I eventually switched to Fi

Hi there. I like making autoit scripts as a hobby.

Could you post what you're looking for? I certainly won't be able to make test environments over 4chan posts, but I might be able to point you in the right direction.
>>
>>60887752
I'll look thanks
>>60887799
It's simple I think but I don't know how to do it, or if AutoIt is even the best way to do it
I need a small program that upon a keybind will cycle through the number row (starting at 2) after each press, then presses q and then back to the number 1
As in: f -> 2q1, f -> 3q1
Do you have a way of contact? For payment because ideally I don't want AutoIt installed in the first place

Can anybody help with this? I'm trying to understand what's wrong with this monitor and I can't get it. The CRT works fine, good colors, good contrast and brightness, but after, I don't know, 30 minutes or so, the picture kinda flickers or so, I can't even explain it with my own language, the recording doesn't do justice to the actual problem, so exagerate the effect. I'm thinking it has something to do with overheating since this monitor hasn't been opened since maybe 7 years and it's probably filled with dust inside, I'll try to take pictures from inside later somehow. Anyways, any ideas about what's probably happening?

>>60887857
I just saw your reply, sorry about the delay. Also, this is a simple task, so read the source code and do your best to learn from it.

So every time you press the letter F, it outputs
"number q 1" to the current window right?

Example:
Press f: Send input 2q1
Press f: Send input 3q1


If so, It's done.

>>
>>60888247
Careful with popping it open. Those capacitors can zap the shit out of you if you short them.

My guess though is a heat issue. Most likely an issue with the power delivery system that causes it to drop power after it heats up too much, which would cause ray beam to stutter, leaving you with the flickering that you are seeing.

I have an external DAC/Amp in which is controlled by alsa. I use the alsamixer volume control to set it at 100 (0dB), but sometimes when I disconnect, it lowers itself to about 72, how can I make sure that the volume stays at 100 every time i connect it and use it?

I've already tried
sudo alsactl store
but it doesnt seem to work. I'm on the latest xubuntu version in a thinkpad w520 if that helps
>>
>>60888374
If alsactl store is not doing it, try setting everything through pulseaudio and pavucontrol. It tends to remember things better anyways.
>>
>>60888247
If I were to take a guess, and it's only a guess:

Given that looks like a crt, possibly the capacitors that charge the electron gun are now kinda marginal, and are not quite able to recharge themselves/hold enough charge to fully illuminate the entire screen every refresh cycle.

The walking dark band that we can see is clearer in the video because the video recorded is relatively low fps.

Try dropping the refresh rate, it might give the caps more time to charge. But ultimately that monitor is on the way out, bad luck.

I want to return to programming. I only ever used the IDE Codeblocks and Eclipse as per my school's instruction without customizing either one.

I didn't find them especially comfortable and have certain things I dislike about each. Eclipse in particular it bothered me so fucking much that if you didn't observe the proper directory 'tree' saving something it would't work. Like I couldn't just save a random scrap of java code on my desktop and compile it, Eclipse would throw a fit.

What program do people suggest I write my code in? Are these IDE's still acceptable?

Am I stupid for wanting to replace the loud 4000rpm fan in pic related (cooler for 125w phenom processor) with a 2000rpm case fan? It currently sounds like a jet engine, my mobo doesn't have fan speed settings and I use debian. Would my processor overheat, it's slightly undervolted.

>>60888247
Don't open that shit. Between the lead, the radiation, the compressed gas and the supercharged capacitors, the inside of a CRT is about as dangerous as anything in computers gets.
>>
>>60888592
My thinking about IDEs seems to contrast what everyone else thinks. Honestly all IDEs tend to have their own problems, so I pick one that incorporates as many languages [that I use] as possible. I shamefully use netbeans because I find myself using C/C++, php and java. I would want to deal with one IDE rather than a separate one for each language, cuts down on the uncomfortable switching between languages.

So I need to drain the voltage out then? Pic related is how dirty is inside, it's the best picture I can get from outside with my POS smartphone camera. Cleaning would help anyways, right?
>>60888429
It unironically happens backwards, I've seen it happen more when it's on 60hz than 85hz or even 120hz at low resolution (and yes, it is an CRT, a 14 years old one). What I think you could answer is: if I leave it as it is, is there really any possible danger to myself? I mean, would the monitor explode on my face or it would only never turn on again? I can always get another cheap and probably better used CRT, but if I don't have to, it would be better.
>>60888626
I won't open it myself probably, I'll look around if there's a technician with experience with CRTs, but I need to know what's happening to it so he can understand what to do.

I have a project where I need to take a command from the internet (think, someone pushes a button on a specific Web page), then use webhooks to get a raspberry pi zero-w to activate a gpio pin. So I downloaded the Prota Pi OS thinking that would make it easy. Turns out I can't even get the prota OS to work on the pi zero. I burned the image to the SD card, plugged it all together, and I don't even get an indication that the R Pi is working. Ie, no video on hdmi, no AP showing up on wifi, no nothing. I tried plugging a couple of different wifi dongles in, just in case the built in wifi wasn't working for some reason, but I just can't seem to get anything to happen. Is my pi busted out of the box? Am I just an idiot missing an obvious but critical step?

Does anyone have experience using prota OS on a raspberry pi zero? Any suggestions on how to access a webhook with a different OS and get it to activate gpios? Sorry for my ignorance, but we all need to start somewhere.
>>
>>60888729
>So I need to drain the voltage out then?
You can't. They're not designed to work that way. A capacitor can hold its charge indefinitely. CRTs aren't meant to have internal issues repaired.

I'm having a problem with my thinkpad x60. The latch no longer works quite right. It used to be that the lid wouldn't come up when locked down. Now it comes up about an inch this doesn't effect the actual computer but its not fun. Should I attempt to fix it myself with some canabalized parts from a broken t60 or just take it to someone else? Also it has a bunch of autistic stickers on so how can I take those off without damaging the rubberlike surface of the lid?

I have some spare time and spare pc parts laying around and im thinking of making a *coin miner

Everything will be made from used parts i have laying around, but the real question is whether its even worth it

Im planning on using a 2gb Radeon 6970, which isnt spectacular, but it should give me at least some value

From some quick calculations i see that the system would consume about 450w at 100% usage

a 6970 could mine 9~11mh from what i see online

I live in a all-in rent place, so i dont have to pay electricity seperatly , but even then, is it worth it?

>tl;dr
Would mining on a 6970 for fun be worth it?
If i can buy a pizza every week im happy, or just hold on to the *coin to see when i could cash it

I'm putting together a PC.
When I tried turning it on without the hard drive it started normally and went into the bios menu.
Then I turned it off and plugged in an SSD. As soon as I turned it on, the SSD started crackling and smoke started billowing out. Like what the fuck. I immediately turned it off. Part of the label on the SSD has been burned off.
I'm perplexed. Was it the SSD that was defective? Or maybe my power supply?
The power supply is brand new, but the SSD is used.

Why is overclocking even a thing?

Why can't manufacturers give me the chip performance I actually paid for /g/?
>>
>>60890684
Because product lifetime and reliability is a thing too.
Also all CPUs are different, this is what we call the silicon lottery.

This is why XFR and Turboboost is a thing, so your CPU can "overclock" on its own based in temperatures while in a considerable range where it wont fail or go up to 102°C and hit thermal shutdown.

There are motherboard limitations such as VRM and MOSFET configurations and their heatsinks, voltage controllers and etc.
Most motherboards can OC a CPU on its own but wont be a perfect OC.
CPU sellers doesnt know if you will use a simple motherboard or a motherboard designed to overclock.

But most and main reason, jewish tactics.

They do. Overclocking is your choice. The don't hide the default specs from you.

can i install drivers onto my usb that already has windows 10 installer?
>>
>>60890814
Maybe. I had Windows 7 bootable/installable from a USB and I also copied my drivers into another folder on it and I could boot to the USB, format/install and then install the drivers off of it. If you can make it bootable and then also open it up and copy files to it, you can most likely just put your drivers in a folder in it and it should work the same.
>>
>>60890853
Do i put the installation files in one folder, and drivers in another, or just leave the installation media alone and make a folder for drivers
>>
>>60890914
Don't touch the existing files for installing, the BIOS or w/e most likely relies on those being in a specific location like the root folder. If you just create a folder in the root folder and put the drivers in there you should be good.
>>
>>60890814
"install"? depends.

Just copy what you need to a separated folder and use it once windows is fully installed.

Thanks, I was considering that but not sure which. Looking for something very cheap (Since all it has to do is add more monitors).

Lets say I got something like the GT 710. Would it work right away or would I have to mess around?

What worries me is that I wont be able to drag shit through displays.

You will be able to drag shit around.

Remember you wont be able to do intensive stuff on the monitors connected to the GT card.

Indeed. The most intensive thing the GT card will have to do is YouTube, and I am sure it can do that without issue.
>>
>>60891461
Yeah it can do it easy.

There is the GT 1030 but is $20 more expensive if you wanna do something else, and that point might aswell get a low end GTX card for $100 for the sake of having 3 -4 ports.
>>
>>60891488
Honestly all I need is one extra port (I have three extra monitors, and only two ports available on my 970). But I might as well put all three or at least two on that second GPU to make the load on my 970 less.
All I need is something simple, not trying to spend a bunch.

They were all there, it was just not being read...

I had Windows updates disabled. I don't know what happened. The only thing I notice different now that it's back is that it's asking for an activation code, so I guess the crack I used got busted or something... could that be it?

Check your startup list (Microsoft Autorun>Logon).

You fucking kidding me? That's a sandy bridge mobo and that shit can take modern GPUs like rx580s and 1080tis just fine.
>>
>>60893623
that's a pretty new mobo, it will fit any modern card. gtx 1050 or rx 460 are your choices.

personally i'd go with the nvidia card (1050)

Nah, it works flawless with the old card.

>>60893666
Your GPU is not posting because its starting correctly.
Still no image because something is wrong with your GPU.

Did you correctly placed it in the PCIe slot?
RX 460 doesnt need a 6 pin cable so it should work with the motherboard only.

Why does VLC suck so bad with streaming over LAN? It looses sync after 10 minutes with video and audio glitching. Only happens when streaming using HTTP and works fine with UDP but I'm unable to use it for the time being. Or better yet, suggest a better media player capable of playing unicast streams.

Im trying to install gnu/linux (xubuntu,ubuntu) and when i want to boot the installer i get weird lines all over the screen when booting uefi, when using legacy i get something about noveau or whatever, what to do? i tried both usb sticks and dvds, I also managed to install linux before and it just worked

Boot in compatibility mode
>>
>>60893666
First check in BIOS if the GPU is being detected on the right PCI-E lane. If you have an integrated GPU in the CPU connect monitor to mobo so you have display output.
Or you can install the new GPU driver by doing this:
Plug monitor into old GPU or integrated GPU.
Stick new GPU in second PCI-E lane.
Install new drivers for GPU. Installation should automatically detect if the GPU is plugged in. This is assuming you're on windows like a typical retard of /sqt/.
Restart, confirm drivers are installed, shut down, plug in cables to new GPU.
>>
>>60893687
that depends entirely on what you use your pc for. linux can be great.
>>
>>60893687
Depends for what you use it.
Security and developing wise its really good unlike windows.
For casual use? Mixed opinions based in what you need.
For gaming? Bad because availability but good for the games that were designed to run under it.

Its really good to have a Linux USB around if you computer fails, you can start it from a USB with no problems.


If you have minimal computer knowledge stay with windows.

Probably because you use it with the old QtWebKit.

> and when is it going to be updated to the new webkit.

As soon as you install a newer QtWebKit on your system.

See: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/blob/master/qutebrowser/html/backend-warning.html

(will be displayed on the first start with the next release when using legacy QtWebKit)

windows 10 should automatically install all the drivers you need.

ive just come home today and tried to boot up my regular computer but heres what happens:
>press the start button
>hear the computer rev up, can hear the hard disk start spinning
>HDD squeaks twice, and the revs down, can no longer hear it
>computer boots as if normal, bios works. boot drive menu shows all my disks
>i select my SSD (not hdd) from the boot drive menu, it goes into the dual boot screen fine (got linux installed too)
>select run windows
now one of two things happens, if i spam f8 and then boot in safe mode it stops at classpnp.sys every time, if i just let it start normally it goes into the "loading windows" screen and just stays there (literally waited 20 minutes)
I have also tried running linux mint which i had installed, but it goes to command line with a bunch of errors and doesnt boot properly.

My OS is not even installed on this HDD, what could there be a problem with?
i am about to use a USB drive to see if that will boot, and check my disk from there.
any other ideas on what could be wrong?

did you have a previous windows OS installed in HDD? why didn't you move the bootloader or whatever was in system reserve to the SSD

Then you will mine $0.005 per day if not less leaving it 24 hours working at 100%.
You need a GPU to mine at all.

okay heres an update, i have booted with ZorinOS and i can view all my hard drives and they work as they should.
Ive made some backups (just in case) but my windows will still not boot. i have windows 7 installed, in case that is important. I will try booting into windows and then doing a disk check after i finish making more backups

Also, it should be noted that i used to have an old hard drive (it failed) that made the same squeaky sound right before it failed, i never took that hard drive out in hopes that one day it might suddenly work again.
Could it be the old hard drive, even though it hasnt worked in a long long time, just starting up again and attempting to run for a few seconds until it realizes its fucked?
or is it a sign that my current hard drive is about to fail?

Could this be an issue with some other part of my computer?

The only easy way is creating a shortcut and changing the image somewhat the same way you would do with a folder.
Would you believe windows doesn't have a way to do it?

How do the files that do have an icon get them then? Is it in the file or what?

>>60894021

How does one buy a stock, never done it, and they don't teach you actual useful shit like this in school
>>
>>60894055
They have them based in the default program they use.
And some video files have some thumbnails that use random parts of a video based in its lenght.
Same way folders use thumbnails to give you a idea what files are they stored on them.

What you want is put a different image based on the song.
You could do this:

Make a shortcut of the mp3.
Right click>Properties
In the bottom click the change icon button.
Then you will be able to do what you want.

But you cant edit the file itself.
>>
>>60894014
whats wrong with that?
never caused me any problems

>>60893858
yeah, could be this, but the fact that it is affecting my other OS too leads me to think it might be a problem in the SSD and the HDD sounds are just something unrelated
also i dont have a cd drive, when i installed windows i used a USB cd drive but i sold it.

>>60893867
>dead mouse

also no i only installed windows on the SSD.

Are you using Windows media player?

>>60894131
"Groove", the stock Win10 app. Is that generating the thumbnails?
>>
>>60894169
Windows 10 (Atleast LTSB does) uses Windows media player.
To make it easy, drag your music to your Music folder (duh).

Open Windows media player, go to music section.
Then drag a image over the file you want.
It should be that easy if you are using 10.

So I got a Yoga 3 Pro back when they were new, what 3 years ago now? It was always a bit slower then I thought it should be but since I only use it for email/web it was never an issue.

Recently I started to get wifi dropouts, fresh WIn10 install didn't fix. Decided to try and swap out the M.2 wifi card from the Broadcom one it came with to a Intel 7265 and not only did it fix the wifi issues but I got a noticeable speed bump, even things like youtube that would drop frames when running full screen 1080p video drops zero frames now. Is it really possible the Broadcom chip was fucking up the entire system that bad?
