What a shit book, it felt as if it was a magazine or something, never fully explained anything in detail just gave a brief table of contents on everything. Are there any books that are actually up to date that explain more about the essentials? Is it just trial and error searching the internet for solutions and hundreds of videos watching someone else explain concepts to me?
Why isn't there a book or set of books I can just consume knowing full well its all updated and I won't have to listen to someone explain things to me at their pace. I don't know how operating systems work and the tanenbaum book isn't enough

Will booting from an mSATA capped at SATA II still be faster than booting from a 7200RPM HDD at SATA III?

I'm using the router given to me by my provider. What would be the advantages of getting my own router instead of using their router? Are there any brands that are good?

stupid question here:

I have an overclocked x58 chipset cpu that has suddenly been generating more heat than it did before. I have been running a moderate OC of 3.8 @ 1.2v for many years, and suddenly, my temps get to 75ish Celcius at 100% CPU or a bit more.. up from the usual 65 @ 100% CPU. The only thing I really changed since the years have passed that I can think of that would do this is I added an AMD RX480 back in April, but I have a pretty good exhaust case fan with a high CFM, and an aftermarket cooler for my CPU which has always done well.

Yes, I've cleaned the dust and shit and do that regularly. I haven't replaced the thermal paste in three or so years and I think that might be it, but I dunno. What do?

tldr : my oc'd cpu used to hang in there at mid 60s Celcius, now it does mid 70s. It's not dust on the cooler fins, or air exhaust ports. Yes the fans are blowing in the right direction. It's not because Hyperthreading is enabled (tried to toggle both off/on, same shit).

Everything /g/ knows about gnu+linux is in the sticky.

advantages are no rental fee (if you pay one), usually more configuration options for your router settings (if you're into messing with settings to your liking) like QoS which is handy if you share the internet with other people in the household.
If you get a Linksys, you can look into DD-WRT fimrware flashes which is perty good shit for a router when it comes to tweaking and doing neat things with your router that even stock third party vendors don't usually let you do.

>>61077845
Yes. The benefit of an SSD is not raw transfer speed (though they have plenty of that), it's latency. With an HDD you request data, and it takes several milliseconds to position the read heads and wait for the platter to be in the correct position. An SSD can respond much faster. And because booting involves reading lots of little files instead of one, big, contiguous one, latency improves matters much more than raw transfer speed.

>>61077954
are there potentially more security updates? For my router I get one like very year or so. also no rent for mine luckily, just had to pay one time.

>been using HDMI with my mac wtih U2414H at 1080p
>switched to mini DP to DP and the fonts and colours look sharper and better

what the fuck? Is there actually an advantage to using DP than HDMI when the monitor is the bottleneck or is this a placebo I'm experiencing?

Could a C programmer explain this to me.

Why is

scanf("%d", &num);

correct and not

scanf("%d", num);

? What's the significance of that extra "&"?

What stops any gentooman from making a script that would spam 'nigger calle'? Often Google only knows one pic, so you can put whatever as the other pic and they will accept it.
Given as how often 'calle' appears, wouldn't it be foolproof way to get past captcha?

Noob here. How do uninstall and then reinstall my mb chipset drivers? How do I know which ones I already have and which ones I will need?

>>61078059
Don't take my word on this, but:
scanf reads some text and wants to know "where to write it to".
Now if you were to give it the variable num, then it would receive whatever the variable num is storing, and nothing more. for example if num is = 3, then scanf would only receive the 3 and it can't really do anything with that.
What you do instead is use the & operator in front of the variable. This means it doesn't pass the content of the variable (for example 3) but the ADRESS of the variable (for example 0x123D56F)
scanf can then place its read text inside of the memory cell at the location 0x123D56F, where the variable content is saved at.
This results in the scanf text being the new content of num.

>>61077989
So, say I had a 250GB mSATA SDD at SATA II, loaded with my OS and programs and then also a 1TB 2.5" HDD at SATA III, loaded with files, would I see the most performance gain if I were to dedicate a percentage of the SSD as cache for the HDD, while also keeping a certain percentage of the SSD allocated for over-provisioning?

does anyone know how to root a metropcs lg k10? I've googled a bunch of guides but they're all written in sketchy second-language english and I'm scared of bricking my phone

ive flashed paranoid android to my nexus 10, and everytime i boot up the phone service crashes and tries to start and gets stuck in that loop. is there any way to stop it from trying to start the service?

>>61078010
Hard to say. An ISP might push through firmware updates more often (and if it's a gateway as well as a router, it's automatic), but that depends on both the ISP and the router's vendor. Overall, I would always prefer to have a third party router, if only for the ability to have more settings to play around with.

I'm new to C and I want to write a simple media player but I'm not sure where to begin.

What paste do you have? It might have dried up, but some stay wet for longer times. I would probably repaste and clean your PC. Reading your post some more makes me think it's the paste that needs to be reapplied, or get better paste.

>>61078296

>>61078335
Because on my x220 the mSATA slot is capped at SATA II but the 2.5" drive bay is at SATA III. I'm using an HDD in there instead of an SSD because I need the 1TB of space and can't justify spending a large amount of money to get an SSD of that size.

>>61078382
Thanks. It's arctic silver 5. It really has to be the paste I'm thinking...but I hate doing this because I'm always scared of breaking something doing the cpu re-seating process. In your opinion, it's better to use too little instead of too much paste when reapplying, right?

What's a good AM4 heatsink? It's a fairly simple question but after a few hours of reading I seem to be farther from an answer than I started. It sounds like some heatsinks are "compatible" but the install is either something involving precarious twisting motions or flimsy clips prone to detaching, or you'll be waiting around for "free" adapters on what look to be otherwise solid devices or you attach what you have horizontal (which doesn't work at all for my flow scheme).

Octal starts with 0, decimal is everything else. And yes, that can lead time some hilarious misunderstandings between you and the compiler if you like zero prefixing you decimal numbers for alignment in source code. It usually sees a 9 on the number and complains that it ain't valid.

Sometimes when I start a game the FPS would be very low, like 20-40.
I need to exit and relaunch the game and it would get fixed (up to 144fps on a 144hz monitor)

Its weird, it seems to happen on any game, even indie shit. Toggling fullscreen can fix it sometimes.

The thing in the middle is called a graphics card, on it's backside should be a couple of ports (HDMI, Displayport and usually DVI). Use on of those connectors to connect you pc with your monitor.

>>61079285
post the speccy screenshot and/or a cpuz screenshot

>>61079338
Yes, could be but not likely. SSD's usually have a thermal throttle build in to keep it from burning your house down. Same goes for CPUs and GPUs, so eventhough they seem to be hardly in use it actually just might be the thermal throttle kicking in stopping them overcooking.

You could try to raise your laptop off of a flat surface in an effort to expose the bottom side to cooler air.

>>61079549
This is indeed probably caused by accidentally running the game in a windowed mode. Instead of restarting the game you could just try alt-tabbing. Usually fixes it aswell.

>>61079549
bottleneck might be loading stuff into memory and the way prefetch works (when it does work) is that the program should load faster after 1st run per reboot. Try benchmarking your harddrive to see if it's slower than its standard. You probably keep a close eye on vsync settings given your monitor.

>>61079670
>>61079655
I'll do that. I updated my drivers and I noticed the power preferences on nvidia control panel were back to default.

>>61079655
58C is a little too damn hot for an SSD, hardware-wearingly hot for an HDD. Check your SSD specs and see if the manufacturer lists a maximum operating temperature. For reference, you usually want your storage drives below 40 when possible. for better longevity.

>>61077689
Should I get a 1060 now that I can't find a 1070 or wait?

>>61079853
Wait a month if you can. Even if you're not interested in Vega. With the mining craze almost coming to an end availability will return and prices are bound to drop.

There's a large gap between the 1060 and 1070. Maybe by the end of July you might snag a 1070 for the same price you currently pay for a 1060.

Don't bother doing the HDD-caching thing. Just use your SSD for your boot drive and for whatever applications or games you care about having faster access. Partition it, if you like, to keep things separate. Put your anime collection and shit on the HDD.

How much will it cost to recover a laptop hard drive that wont power on?

It's only 2-3 years old and is a terabyte in capacity. Probably irrelevant information, but whatever.

I set a BIOS password for startup on my old laptop so that you have to enter it before you can get to the BIOS. I've since ditched the old laptop but kept the hard drive however, I can't seem to access it. It doesn't show up under /dev/ in Linux and when I put the drive in my new laptop, it prompts me for a BIOS password even though I haven't enabled one on my new laptop's BIOS. Even when I enter the password, it claims it's incorrect. How can I access the data on my drive?

What's a good graphics card to upgrade to? I have the nvidia GTX 650, so it's pretty old. I really don't want high-end stuff, just something that will get me out of playing everything on Low.

>>61080013
Thanks. Userbenchmarks includes overclocked cpus as part of the range that it compares users' cpus. It looks like the non K version, which is not ideal for overclocking. So even if they did things like force the maximum multiplier, or whatever other conservative limitations Intel set for their non 3770K, the boost is supposedly minor. I would take a look at the BIOS and maybe toy around with some settings like Speedstep, power states, things like that (not bus speed).

As for your GPU's performance, it looks like there is a mutual bottleneck somewhere in the system. I don't know if it's a thermal limitation, because the speccy shot shows okay temps at idle, but maybe run a temperature logger for both your cpu and gpu (something like OCCT maybe) while you are playing a high-resource game usage or otherwise edging at 100% cpu or gpu usage to see if there are spontaneous underclocks going on. If you try OCCT for this test, it'll capture a lot of stats changing over time like voltage, frequency, etc on top of temperatures. Good luck with your tweaks!

I just moved and took my computer with me. I've got it set up again, but there's no sound. Typically, I get sound through a pair of external speakers (or headphones plugged into them) since my monitor has none. But now there's no sound coming from them. I get sound if I plug the headphones directly into the tower's jack. The monitor is connected to the GPU with an HDMI cable, and the speakers connect to the monitor. I can't tell why this setup isn't working now when it was fine just a few hours ago.

rx580 at the start of july when new stock comes in

Just did an installation of debian testing on my old laptop, but for some reason screenfetch and neofetch both show debian 9 stretch.

I did a netinstall with a Jessie USB, then edited the sources list for testing lists. Here is my sources.list:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ testing-updates main contrib non-free

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security testing/updates main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian-security testing/updates main

Is anything wrong with any of these lists? My understanding was that as long as I had testing written there instead of the distro name (stretch, buster, etc) then I should always be on the latest testing distribution.
Am I doing something wrong?

I have an i5-4460. According to Intel's site, it runs at 3.2 GHz and can boost up to 3.4 GHz.

I'm currently running at almost 100% CPU usage (decompressing and downloading files). I've noticed that in CPU-Z it runs at 3 GHz. On a couple of occasions I've seen it drop to 2.8 GHz for a millisecond. Speccy reports that it's 46 degrees right now, which isn't too high.

Thanks for the (You). I know nothing about hardware so this is all new to me.

I've just tried running Prime95. It's running right now. Task Manager reports 99% CPU usage. CPU temperature isn't going above 56 degrees. According to HWiNFO all my cores are around 3120 MHz (x32 ratio, whatever that means).

I also don't know if this is weird but while browsing and installing HWMonitor and shit my system feels perfectly fast and responsive as you'd expect if I wasn't running a benchmark.

Is that abnormal? What's going on? I've noticed that Steam downloads (which use a lot of CPU) seem to rape my machine a lot more than they did a year ago and I think the reason I can't get 5 MB/s any more is because the CPU isn't running at full speed. Steam downloads eat a lot of CPU because they're compressed or something. Sorry for being a retard.

How much does it generate in heat when you don't have any programs open? Close everything except a hardware monitoring program. One complaint about Prime95 is that it's not a real-world benchmark.

I did the Intel Diagnostic thing just now and my CPU became sluggish as fuck but ironically only hit about 43 while it was going. Idle I hit around 28 but lately it's been hotter than usual so in the winter it will likely be cooler than that by a degree or two. I also noticed when it was doing the frequency test I was hitting 3.2 GHz according to HWiNFO. Just after I took this pic. Those 4 bars on the left monitor were turning yellow and I was hitting 3.2 GHz on all cores. I passed every test apparently.

Typically during a fresh install I use aegis voat to block any telemetry updates before installing all the updates for windows 7, but is it actually necessary to install any of the updates? Is there any problem with using a fresh SP1 and never installing updates?

yes but only if you're the right kind of person. If you're really interested and pick up a language and start doing things with it, then nothing can stop you. But you have to DO things. You have to be the kind of person who's like "hmm, I wonder if I can make it do this..." and then sets off to try and write something. If you're the kind who's like "but what tutorials do I read? what can I make with it? I don't have any ideas for programs to write" then you're never going to get anywhere, either on your own or in a classroom.

I figure I could get 110k as I already had offers that I refused due to distance, not driving a fucking hour to work regardless of the cost, but at the same time I have 0 motivation and don't really hate my current job but it doesn't provide any opportunity for a horizontal or upper wards career shift.

But I'm bored to death of developing and just considering saying fuck it and going to live the NEET life.

>but is it actually necessary to install any of the updates?
Nope unless there's a specific update that affects whatever you're doing, i.e. videogames. And those are few and far between, you can simply download from MS and manually install.
>Is there any problem with using a fresh SP1 and never installing updates?
Nope.

Never mind the language, you need to get into the mindset. If you can't think in maths, give up. Start with early books like the dragon book. Programming is very similar to wizardry, you have a long way to go.

Try the learn x the hard way series. I saw some person who wanted to get into web dev put out a different (tiny) website a day for months. At the start it was a broken scrap of html but by they end they could whip up something useful in no time.

Takes 1 year tops for a retard. Take a course in college that is pure maths for a refresher, you're not in high school any more so your brain is less distracted by hormones unless your libido is stupid high thanks to your genes.

My system is full of daemons doing my bidding. Programming is a lot like old school magick in that it's intricate, difficult, and highly rewarding, as long as you don't make any mistakes. Make one and you're screwed.

About 2 months ago the wannacry malware hit, which uses a windows exploit to spread across network shares. That's one of many MANY threats that have come out since SP1 was released. There's so much shit that it's vulnerable to, that "muh common sense" just doesn't cut it. You don't need the general updates, but running an OS that's years behind on its defenses is just stupid.

Not a problem here since the ports that crap uses are totally blocked on my end. Also my IP blocklist keeps growing, it's at over 1 billion now.

>>61081762
It's not so much "you have to know math" as "you have to have the kind of mindset that makes people good at math". You have to think algorithmically and logically. You have to be able to break a program down into little pieces. "First do X, then do Y, then do Z ten times..." You have to be able to look at a problem and recognize what might be a promising strategy to attack it

Also math is different from many academic subjects in that there's a right answer. Your solution is correct or it isn't, and if it isn't, one you can show that it isn't, and two, it's not because the numbers are wrong, it's because you made a mistake. Computers are like that. Some people get infuriated that the compiler is so persnickety with syntax or that they write a program and it doesn't do what they thought it would do. You have to internalize and accept deep down that when that happens (it WILL happen) that it happened because you did something wrong. The computer executes precisely the instructions you gave it, and it doesn't make mistakes. It just doesn't apply any intuition of what you actually meant, it only cares what you actually said.

This trait is why autistic people often like computers, btw.

You know that was never a real thing, right?

>>61081897
Well yeah, the right answer can be "the solution is either 2 or -2", or "anything that satisfies property X is a valid solution". It's still different in the thought process it requires, and in the fact that what you really meant or what your opinion is don't count for anything. A surprisingly large number of people can't deal with a field like that.

With that mindset you must be a programmer. Logic/10.

>>61082015
As an abstraction over private members whose implementations might change.

>>61081547
Then it's the benchmarking tools hammering your CPU too hard. I wouldn't worry then. The synthetic benchmarks push the CPU super hard. I would not worry about it for every day situations, just try and avoid opening too much at once.

>>61082015
So that other people using your class don't know anything about its implementation. They don't know the variable names inside of it, they just have a function they can call. So if you have any logic to prevent that variable from being set to an invalid value, or if you want to change the internal logic of how your class implements something, other people's shit can't be broken.

There's a magic word for this that I'm not going to tell you in case this is a homework question.

>>61082047
Programming is very similar to wizardry, you don't have to use logic.

>>61082015
Putting the setting or retrieving of member element values into functions lets you change the internal representation, the amount of validation applied to new values, or the actual storage location of those values without modifying any code that accesses them.

I cleaned out the old paste and put in some new paste. Same bottle of arctic silver 5. Temps are down to 70-74 @ 100% from the earlier highs of 75-78 @ 100%. I hear this stuff takes time to cure so I might even see one or two degrees go away at high load. I hear a slight fan hum that I didn't before and I hope it's not a possible dustball I made up in the PSU fan when I was cleaning out dust from the computer parts. I tried getting as many of those gathered balls of dust out as I could. The hum might be the cpu cooler fan, but I cleaned that fucker out too along with the shit between the heatsink's fins. I had to up the voltage very very slightly over the years, but I doubt it would make my average 100% usage temps go from 68ish to that earlier high of 78 in a matter of two months. Oh well.

>>61086917
You don't. What you see is what Android takes for itself to function. So deleting system32 is not an option here.

>>61086277
you have to go back

>>61086917
Repartition and reflash the whole thing with fastboot or whatever it uses.

computer is acting weird

>wont power on
>switch off psu for a day
>switch psu back on
>hit power button
>computer works
>shutdown computer
>wont power on again till i switch off psu for a while

what could the culprit be?

>>61087270
Bumping for an answer, I have a corsair RM750 that does this.

Is there any way to download a torrent that has 0 seeders?

>>61087156
What do you mean?

>>61087270
>>61087332
Sounds like a faulty PSU. Go buy a PSU tester and test it. Also try a different PSU.

Couple questions.

What are the bare minimum of updates I'd need for a fresh install of Win7 without it turning into Win10 with an old coat of paint?

And what are some examples of good hardware management software or general tips to use to monitor and test my specs right after said install?

I got speccy and CrystalDiskInfo so far. A 5 year old issue of PCGamer recommended CPU-Z, GPU-Z, and Prime95 among others, but I'm sure there's better options by now, assuming I even need any of that.

>>61087353
Theoretically, yes. Nobody has the whole file, but each piece of the file is in the possession of at least one peer. Alice has the first half, Bob has the second, so if you join the swarm, you can (eventually) obtain the whole file.

In practice, this situation is uncommon, and dropping to zero seeders kills the torrent.

>>61083270
pretty sure the battery is fucked, but you could always try to use a different charger

>>61084028
yes

>>61078600
Honestly? I too was planning on going for the 1060 6gb until the prices got ridiculous. It's like $250 MSRP, but is currently sold for around $450

I settled for my plan B: the 1050ti. Sure, it's not as powerful, but it's price is still normal atm.

>>61087470
There's no number. Stick to important updates, look through recommended to see if there's anything relevant, and be wary of anything optional. If you update from a clean system, you can get roll-ups that drastically reduce setup time.

What is quickprivacycheck.com and how do I tell which process is pinging it on Linux?

Avoiding telemetry is a pain. They include it in the convenience rollup. Also these days you can't individual updates any more. You can get a monthly security only pack, but you have to download them manually.

>>61087632
Are the security-only packs cumulative? If you're more than a month behind can you download only the latest one?

>>61087332
oy vey i have a corsaire cx750m. maybe its a corsaire psu issue? i really hope it is cause i dont want to take half this shit apart for a wonky board (msi z170 board).

>>61087458
only psu i have lying around is a 420 watt thermaltake. will that be enough to atleast boot an i5 system with a gtx 1060?

>>61087662
No the security ONLY packs are only one month's updates at a time. They're intended for businesses. If you skip a month, you just won't get those updates.

>>61087687
I'm sure the fact that this pushes people towards the telemetry-including convenience packs is just a purely incidental unintended side-effect.

Is using a dedicated WiFi adapter give better results than using built in wifi adapter of a laptop?

>>61087686
Not sure. My newest toaster is a C2D from 2007. Just buy a PSU tester online. They're cheap.

What's the best Android emulator for the pc? I tried Bluestacks and its fucking bloated piece of shit, I tried Nox but I'm having some issues integrating Google payment in it.

Thanks

>>61087710
They're not making a secret of it. They only provide the alternatives out of strict necessity. Same with LTSB. They can't not provide certain things for business. The point though with the Only Packs, is if a particular update breaks something, you can just skip that month. Which is something you can't do at all with the main update track.

>>61087723
I'm referring to the large, singular "Convenience rollup" which is like an unofficial SP2, not the monthly stuff that comes out. Although knowing microsoft, they probably integrated telemetry too at some point without our knowing it.

I'm going for portable desktop setup.
Is there some small PSU you can recommend?

What's the best recovery software for accidental deleting of software?

Probably. But it depends on the particular device. Are you planning a honeypot?

>take outoors pic
>great quality
>take a badly lit conventions pic
>bad quality, even worse if movement is involved
>take 1080p video
>noticeably better quality than indoors pic but worse than outdoors

why?

does higher megapixel count make the picture worse in bad lighting?

my 14mp pics are like 6000x4000 vs the 1080p video

>>61087854
Nah, I just moved in and my neighbor was kind enough to allow me to use hers until I can get one.
>honeypot
Is that still a thing?
I thought it's impossible to decrypt HTTPS traffic.
>particular device
The WiFi USB adapter is pic related.
The built in is Centrino Advanced-N 6205.

Nobody even notices when they're not using SSL

>>61087899
>they're not using SSL
Most sites uses SSL, and apps uses SSL by default now.

>>61087787
>I'm referring to the large, singular "Convenience rollup"
I get that, but I've not heard of botnet being included in that update. So again, source?

>>61087893
Well you said you wanted to spoof it. That implies you want people to connect to your AP thinking it is theirs. Like for a honeypot. And you can MITM HTTPS if you control the nameserver.

Silly question, so here is my best picture:

Anyways, what is the easiest way to remove the toolbar on the bottom of the screen for a computer running a free version of windows 10?
I get a lock out screen for "buy windows 10 or you cannot get rid of the toolbar" when trying to disable it through the settings menu.
Alternatively, what is the easiest way to get full access to windows 10 without paying for it? (force activation without product key, etc.)
A new install of WX is last resort.

>>61087912
You wan't someone to prove windows is a botnet? All they are going to do is redefine the word to mean something convenient. If you want to debate ontology start a new thread.

>>61087632
Ok, well, is there a way to pick and choose which updates to install?

Y'see, my current setup of Win7 hasn't had a security update since 2011. And I'm satisfied with that. My pc hasn't shit itself, nor is it riddled with malware. It just werks for me.

I found guides that offer means to remove telemetric updates, but I doubt they can remove everything, and in any case, it would be far less hassle if said updates were never installed in the first place.

>>61087923
Sorry I didn't notice.

Just saw this thread so I copied from my other thread:';

How does one best host and display images on a website?

I got shanghaied into making a website for my choir on the virtue of being the only one being able to turn on a computer, which is fine. Trouble is that I haven't done large scale project like this before and one of the requirements is that they want to display lots pictures and videos from when we are out singing.

I know how to use html to display picture with tags and all that, but its unwieldy and impractical when we are talking about potentially hundreds if not thousand of pictures.

Is there way where you can just drop in the pictures and movies and will largely automatically display them properly on the appropriate page or sub page?

>>61087912

That article overstates the importance of the customer experience setting, but you can check the updates it lists there against other sources. You also can't uninstall any updates in the rollup individually. If you use it, it's all or nothing.

>>61087936
If you skip the big convenience rollup, you can pick among the updates that were available before October of last year.

Ok good. In that case, I'll just reinstall only the updates I currently have.

Thanks anons.

Do have have a server?

>>61088058

Yep, using a google cloud machine, linked to my github account where I have a script that automatically pushes any changes that I commit from intelij on my computer.

Also have domain propacechoir dot com if ya want to have a look. Be warned tough, its full of over large images and unwieldy, as they had an old website that someone made a long ago that they wanted me to use as a base of design. Been trying to clean it up

>>61088039

that screen is literally cancer. for that size get at least 1920x1080.

Are disk and registry defragmention really necessary on W7 ? I'm tired of downloading and testing softwares to "clean" my PC.

>>61089009
No. Windows does its own defrag just fine, and "registry defragmenting" is pure bullshit. Leave your registry alone.

>>61089009
If you want to clean your PC, do a clean install. That's about all you can do with windows.
