I installed windows 7 in virtualbox and windows update doesn't work. It just keeps checking for updates over and over. Anyone know any possible solution ?

How do I get really old websites with .swf games on them running? I feel like I need a dose of nostalgia.

It was the damndest thing, control+f failed to bring up this thread.

Anyway, is there a minimum ratio of isopropyl alcohol to water that I should use to clean off a CPU? I've used 91% in the past, but I don't know if I just got lucky.

What video players do you guys use and why ?

Basically, I use VLC Media Player but want to know what the fuck is the deal with MPC-HC or BE ??? and why

How does k-lite, kcp, and cccp codecs fit into all of this as well.

I'm currently trying to figure this out atm, please help me understand what the deal is and why

Is there any somesort of adblocker for Metro apps? My favourite manga reader just added ads with no option to disable or upgrade to ad-free and they fuck me off.

I've tried dicking around in the app folder and following several guides to hide the ads, but to no avail. Would editing my hosts file work? I'm worried about screwing up my apps entirely by modifying my hosts file.

What is the best 4 chan app for android (bonus if it supports other chans ) ?

>>51591556

I would recommend just reading the manga online, anon.

>>51591549
Codecs are something that help your computer decode the videos . Video players use codecs ( either the players own codec or the ones installed on the computer ). Those things you mentioned are codec packs . MPC-hc and vlc are about the same with a couple interface difference .

I know the basics of c++ because that's the first language theyre "teaching" us at uni and I've been learning at home. Question is, I found a really good book on C# and have been thinking on continuing with that. Is it a good idea?

>>51591580
The app was the best option for me, since I use a tablet. Everybody knows how much of a pain browsing/typing on a tablet is.

If there's no other way, I'll just do that. Thanks homie.

>>51591590

Alright, thanks anon.

>>51591632

Well, I mean besides that I would use a dedicated reader. I would use Cloud Reader to read my comics. On my iPad mini, it was never an issue reading on a tablet for me.

The only downside is you would have to download your manga individually.

Can you put android on iPad?

>>51591665
Oh shit yeah. I didn't think about using a dedicated reader. I already have a bunch of CBRs.

I'll do that. Thank you

No problem, anon. Glad I could help.

Anyway, I have Win 10 on a 840 EVO and recently when I turn my computer off the computer shuts down when the Windows 10 splash screen appears. I have to turn my computer on again to be able to load Windows. What could be causing this problem?

I'm moving all my shit to a portable hard drive in order to format my laptop. I want to put sha 256 (is there one better?) encryption in order to boot or even look at the files on my OS HDD, how do I do this and what program do I need?

Should i install ruby on windows using cygwin or an installer?

The captcha keeps going blank for days at a time in Firefox, but not other browsers.

What broke?

>>51591850
sha 256 is hash function not an encryption algorithm. AES is the industry standard encryption algorithm.

>>51591867
legacy?

>>51591885
alright, what does this mean? should I use AES then?

>>51591867
ff 42 on win10 here. no problem.

>>51591235
use vmware

>>51591906
I assume whatever program you use would give options for selecting an algorithm. AES with a large key would be unbreakable if properly implemented.

>>51591867

Use Legacy captcha and I would bargain that it is your internet connection.

I've had a sound card lying around on a shelf getting a bit dusty. Will there be problems with static if I shove it in a computer now?

>>51591947
what do you mean by properly implemente? you mean how hwrd the key is? I'm going to use several words from different languages and a number, is that enough?

Tell him at least one way mother fucker. You didn't answer his question.

>>51592050

That reminds me I need to check that out. I love PKD.

>>51591981

Wouldn't it constantly have the same problem every time I turn it on? The second time I turn it on right after it shuts down works perfectly fine. It's always that first time I turn it on.

>>51591247
I'm also interested on this.

braking the multimeter by connecting in parallel instead of series. Shorting your psu by connecting wrong tips etc .

>>51592484

I would say then to check your add-on's

>>51592504
>braking the multimeter by connecting in parallel instead of series.
It's a voltmeter, they're supposed to go in parallel mate. Amps go in series.

>Shorting your psu by connecting wrong tips etc .
I know where there's supposed to be 12V and where there's supposed to be 0V. If I connect those and the PSU shorts, then I'll still know it's broken. So how is the wrong?

>>51592328
>How do torrents work
Files are transferred between people who have parts, or all of whatever it is you're after.

You download a torrent file, and open it using a torrent client.

When you're done downloading, keep your client open to help other people download. It's extremely poor manners to remove the torrent from your client before seeding it to at least another person, if not two.

>>51592532
ok go wild . You seem to know the basic

>>51592512
That was the first thing I did. It's not adblock, and as far as I can tell, it's not any other addon causing this intermittent problem.

No. You have to convert via distance (which is actually the index if you have an array):

I'm not well-versed with web design whatsoever, I know how to examine HTML (I can recognize what lines do what, but that's pretty much common knowledge for any tech literate person) but that's about as far as my knowledge goes.

I'm looking to make my own website, and while I've resigned to the fact that I'll be using a web-builder like Wix, since it has simple drag-and-drop elements, there's something that is vital that can seemingly only be done by hand.

The landing page is going to have a centered image, and a very, very simple login prompt below it. A cryptic-type login, with no prompt to register or sign up, just a simple login/pass that you must know beforehand before proceeding to the actual site itself. What can I do to set this up? I don't want someone to be able to type www.fakesite.com/realpage.html and suddenly get access to the site, you know?

I don't know if I'm articulating myself right, but would love some help.

>>51592844
I should add, I don't want any flashy things on the site itself. I plan for it to be a very simple compendium of information that is going to be presented in a simple, readable fashion - and that's all. I don't give a fuck about modern HTML5 fade in background, autoplay videos behind my shit, etc etc. I'll be totally fine actually making the actual site, the only hurdle is the login system itself.

I've got a Proliant SE326M1. As it's a special edition, I can't find any documentation. The MoBo product number is 591747-001, and I can't find anything on that either. The most pressing question I have right now is: does this MoBo have PWM fan regulation? The fans are connected to a 6-pin on the MoBo with an adapter that splits in 2 6-pin males marked "inlet" and "outlet". PWMcontrol says there's no PWM controlled fans (I've already used lm-sensors). I've tried installing the ProLiant suite of thingies, reading the manual I found it doesn't have fan control options. I'm thinking the server has no PWM controller, but before I buy an external controller I'd like to be sure. Can anyone help me?

I feel like this is pretty low, each gpu is only producing ~60M/sec. From what I've read a single 980 Ti is capable of pushing almost 1000M/sec.

install ntfs-3g on your install and its simple as mounting them and browsing(assuming linux)

If you're on linux yeah
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdX
let it sit there till its done.If you want more psudeorandom use /dev/random in place.
You cant really nuke it within a windows cause all of the hardlinks that the system is using when its in use.

My friend knows deep sleep is broken on my PC and, as a joke, set the bios to remember last state on power loss, then put my PC to sleep. Now it's stuck in sleep regardless of full power cycling. He assumed that it would be a funny joke and I could reset the cmos and laughs all around, but funny story: wake up behavior is even further down than cmos. I've tripped the jumper. I've pried out the battery. I've HARDWARE SWITCHED to backup cmos. Nothing. The computer won't even post.

Are there any good cracks for Lightroom 6 that won't install fucking malware on my PC?
I had the chingliu Lightroom 5, but only LR 6 has HDR stacking built in (in LR 5 you have to use Photoshop as well, I'd like to only have one installed)
>inb4 use a free as in freedom alternative
I do that for Photoshop already and it's fine but almost every free RAW editor alternative either doesn't have batch, doesn't have HDR bracketing (forcing me to use a separate tool that produces meh results), or is OK but is extremely tedious with no batch whatsoever (what I've been using, ChasysDraw).

Are you using onboard speakers? They are probably trash regardless of what the reviews called them.

check 'disable all enhancements' and use an audio player/video player with a built-in equalizer if you want to use that kind of thing. The bass boost is probably lowering non-bass frequencies and loudness equalization is just compressing the volumes of everything. Thanks to the loudness wars this is already done for you in the studio so that option is just making it even worse.

>>51598835
Oh, and I meant to say, get a usb DAC. You don't need anything fancy to get something better than your onboard.

Hi /g/ I have a simple question:
I've been running a pirate version of windows 7 ultimate 64 bits for some years and I'd like to upgrade to windows 10 for performance improvements and DX12 support

So, I heard pirate versions won't be able to upgrade normally
But since I never ran into a problem with my current image should I avoid doing it anyways?
I mean, the system never warned me about the fact that this copy isn't original

>>51598954
It depends on how you activated your copy.
You can always try, if you run into problems install a clean copy of windows 7 and activate it with DAZ loader, you will be able to upgrade to windows 10 with no problems

I've tried every combination of subwoofer cable, RCA cable. Receiver SW is enabled. No test tone comes through.

Do you seriously need a Y-splitter to get the monoprice sub to work? How the fuck does it not have a mono input? I tried putting the sub cable into both the white & red plugs.

Is there some way to use the SURR BACK output instead? Tried and no signal.

I have very little knowledge of this but I was thinking:

Is there any way to get a raw feed to be piped to another more powerful server that would proccess and stream the frames on my local network?

In short, BBB just captures and sends the feed over the network to another machine in charge of encoding and streaming.

I remember back in the day when we made the transition from dial-up to DSL, the folks at the ISP said that DSL was better than cable because if too many people are using the cable at once (like in a community I guess?) then the speeds would suffer. However I have never heard anyone with a cable connection complaining because it was a rainy day and too many people were at home using their cable internet connection.

Was there at one point some truth to the ISP words or was it always just complete bullshit DSL propaganda?

they should have only had local access so unless she keeps her details in a local file or has logged in since installing that shit she should be ok, but a format and reinstall is in order cause who knows what they changed to open her up to other attacks

So my harddrive has been failing for about 2 years now.

She's a tough girl, but recently any time I try to boot my PC up it just says "missing operating system." So I think this ol' gal is done for.

I'm going to take the harddrive out and use a SATA>USB adapter and see if I can get a few of the files I didn't back up.

Here's a picture, for those of you who are interested in this kinda thing. I think the PC is from 2007 or 2008.

There's the culprit.

>>51603604
Alright I need help removing this.

I unplugged the two cables and undid the two screws on the side but it won't budge.

What am I missing?

>>51603823
there's two screws on the other side as well, depending on how your case is set up, the drive cage may unlatch and slide out, or you may have to take off the rest of the case and shit to get at the other side of it

Full other side.

If you need another picture of something I can take them and post them in like 30 seconds.

Can any of y'all tell me what I'm doing wrong or if there's something wrong with my GPU?

Huh, you were right, it was just stuck. Thank you anon.

Here it is, 7 years of being a trusty hard drive. Hopefully with a USB adapted I can get the few files I wasn't able to back up.

I wonder what I should do with the rest of the PC...

I wonder how many years I would have to wait for that dust chunk to become sentient and begin to question its own existence.

What was Lightroom 6 bundled with CS6, CS5, I might be able to link to you a mega with the installers/cracks.

Hey guys, I downgraded my terrible HP laptop from windows 8 to windows 7. I have three USB ports and only one of them works now after downgrading. (the one that works is the one used with the USB stick to install windows)

I tried installing the Windows 8 drivers but its still fucked captain. Anyone know how to get these two other USB ports to work? or an alternative?
