Was testing Windows Update to get some security patches, but even when I only select one random security module, Windows Update tries to download Win10 setup files. I've already gone back and uninstalled previous packs. How are you supposed to get past this?
>>55085735
Shut the fuck up and install Windows 10 you stupid cunt there's literally nothing wrong with it compared to 7 unless you're an assburger who likes to use outdated software. It's ridiculous the things people do just to look cool on /g/.

Yeah, it's truly ridiculous.
>>55085735
>How are you supposed to get past this?
Standalones off the actual microsoft website. Don't get your updates through windows updates.
>software requires me to do anything other than use a package manager to install
welp, time to find an alternative...

Does anyone have one of these? My mouse shit out and I had the idea of using this as a mouse. Obviously, it has no laser but I was thinking a mapping mouse movement to the thumb pad. Is this possible?
>>55085601
why not buy a fucking mouse?
>>55085608
This would be a lot handier to have. The idea of mapping a bunch commands and prompts to those buttons makes me wet.
>>55085621
it's only a 4 directional joystick. defaults to the arrow keys because it functions the same way. really only good for weapon wheel fpss. you're better off with a steam controller.
Need some help and advice.
Built a new computer. Specs
-amd fx-8320 black edition
-msi 970 gaming motherboard
-msi R9 390 8gb gpu
- cooler master g650m 650 watt psu
-16 GB corsair vengeance ram
Computer running smoothly for 4 months or so. It suddenly reboots randomly. Begins to do this more frequently. Windows error log reads "kernel power error 41 (63)". Eventually it stops posting... Fans spin, less come on (with the exception of the video card) and monitor goes to sleep doesn't detect PC is on at all.
I opened the case to look for errors. My motherboard has a large greasy stain near the capacitors and the stain has leaked into my video card slot.
I don't have any way to test my components. I send the mobo and video card in for an rma. Should I also send in psu and CPU?
Also, this is my first PC build. Did I buy the right shit... Should I replace the psu with a higher quality one? Cooler master seems to be a good brand right? Do you think it was the mobo that fucked up? Should I bother sending in CPU for an rma? How can I prevent this from happening again?
Its hard to not be down on yourself when something lime this happens, I am disappointed in myself I feel like I fucked up... It seemed to be fine and was working great until this happened.. Now I feel like ill constantly be worried it'll happen again as the problem came so suddenly and without warning.

>running smoothly for 4 months or so. It suddenly reboots randomly
summer is very near, temps rise, stuff either throttles, trips the watchdog or plain crashes
>large greasy stain near the capacitors
so leaked/busted cap(s)? rma if its under warranty, replace caps yourself if its not
>g650m
thats plenty of juice for the system, no worries there
also
>wasted quads
and see >>>/wsr/

Busted cap isn't your fault
Just RMA
>>55085636
Yeah Texas summer... I have 7 fans in my machine. CPU, 2 on gpu, 4 case fans. Two front mounted intakes, one in back for outtake, one mounted on top also outtake
Sorry for wasted quads thought only b cared about that shit.
CPU seems fine its not burned or anything just don't know if its worth rma'ing. Everything under warrant, fortunately.

Why aren't you using WayLand /g/?
>>55085206
No guide to installing from source or binary install in Ubuntu that I can find that's reliable.

When i installed Debian it came with GNOME ootb.... Maybe try installing GNOME?
>update arch
>xorg breaks
Seriously?
For real, if it really happens, then I don't know why you guys use Arch. They have a great wiki, but I'd rather use Debian with a minimal net install and build a DE from there.
2 times I updated Fedora and something serious broke requiring a reinstall.
Nowadays I only update every few months

Systemd, ancient packages in "stable" and bleeding edge packages elsewhere, and a bureaucracy that would make the people in that Futurama episode impressed.
Great as a base for other things, weak on its own.

Claims to be a normie but calls it gnu/linux (yeah sure).
>>have to install software from source
Not using the package manager.
>>ooops, followed the instructions and it compiled without qt!
Compiled from source without a frontend...
>>have to use program from command line with no frontend
and then complains there is no frontend.
>>there is no config file to change controls in
I'm glad you are having issues.
just bought this shit, how badly did I fuck up?

You could have gotten the top end Xeon model directly from Lenovo for $1829.80 on their corporate perk portal.
How truthful is that cracked programs get detected as """"false positive"""""
%100. No such thing as a false false positive.

What the fuck blackplayer? 40%? What in the holy hell? How do i fix this?
>>55084980
By using another mp3 player.
Is this /g/-technology illiteracy now?
Fuck you op.
Fuck you.
>>55085016
But what mo3 player? What one wont suck down power likes its water?
>>55084980
I would assume by not using BlackPlayer.
I don't know though, I'm not an expert.
I dont usually post on this board, but here goes. im looking for something i can put on my phone, a samsung s4 mini, that will enable to me access it remotely from my computer. i need something that can access messages, apps, and my picture gallery. price isnt a concern here.
Doesn't exist
>>55084931
SideSync. Although I don't know if the S4 has it.

I know it's massively overkill for me. I mostly code websites and apps and do a decent amount of video encoding as well as a lot of mySQL work. The only games I play are Witcher 3, Diablo 3, and Overwatch. The idea of this thread is to get a general consensus of what a user such as myself, who does a little bit of everything, really needs. Stock photo of the case I use
>>55084897
should be fine
You could alternatively get a smaller SSD for OS only and mechanical for storage
What resolution are you gaming at?
>>55084925
I have a dual monitor setup 1920x1080 on the side and I do mostly everything on my 2560x1080 ultrawide. The side monitor usually just runs putty windows so I can get quick status updates when I'm pushing changes to servers
>>55084925
I use the SSD as a main because I'm lazy with personal file management and don't like to move things to my NAS as they accumulate on my drive
