I just got a new hard drive that I plan on using externally. What's the best method I can use to protect my data? Maybe a password system for a few folders?

>>54964765
cryptsetup or veracrypt FDE + containers for anything specially sensetive

Ran ccleaner yesterday (yeah pretty fucking stupid apparently) and it ended up killing chrome, locking me out of firefox, and it even fucked up minor things like not letting me save pictures to the "my pictures" folder anymore. All around assfest, basically.

I want to do a system restore and I have to restore points available from the the second of this month, however when I try either of them it spits this at me
"System Restore failed to extract the file (C:\) from the restore point. An unspecified error occurred during System Restore. (0x8000ffff)"

I googled this and tried a few fixes but they didn't work, llike allocating more space for the restore point, or doing system restore while in safe mode.

I'm completely fucking lost and I'm too stupid for my own good, anything, even insults are appreciated.

Extremely stupid question incoming, but bare with me. I deal with movie editing and my superiors have spoiled me - they've got me a Thinkstation P310 with a Xeon E3 1245V5. Now, no gaming GPUs can fit in there, but is there a Quadro card that can do 1440p gaming with newest games? Or is there anything else, than a Quadro that can fit in there and can do 1440p gaming?

if you can boot windows, try using the windows upgrade tool from your windows disk/flash drive
if not, fresh install

>>54964858
Yeah I'm fully on windows and everything, some things are just busted like chrome (permafucked apparently, have tried installing/reset to default/deleting user profile etc).

I'll try to use the windows upgrade tool, will that act in the same way as a system restore before everything was fucking busted? I'm not sure if it would fix my chrome problems, though.

any difference between mATX and ATX except for size and pci slots?

I always used ATX so far so I'm not sure if I'll miss out on anything by switching to mATX.

>>54965032
ATX boards are less likely to include video connectors, so you can't fall back on intel graphics if your GPU fails. If you plan to use only one video card at a time, there's probably no downsides to a micro board.

My download speeds are fucked, on multiple test sites my speeds seem to be fine, generally 4+mb/s, but in practice my speeds fluctuate between a 3-5mb all the way down to a few hundred kb or even nothing like in the picture. im pretty sure its nothing i can fix my self, as my ISP sucks and has tons of issues, but is there any way i can find out what/where the issue is? Had the exact same issues a month ago right before i upgraded my service. After upgrade issues were mysteriously fixed

>>54965206
those are cables for a modular power supply, there is no sata data cable included. those are only sata power.

I want to install wine, how do I do that.

I'm using windows 8.

Got a question about DNS resolution because what my teacher wrote in her study material contradicts what I found through 9000 hours in Google.
So my teacher wrote that when requesting an address, your computer asks the closest (preferred) DNS server, which in turn (if it can't resolve the URL itself) forwards the request to its closest hierarchical parent which forwards again and so on.
What the internet says, is that the request isn't just forwarded until it's resolved but bounces between your preferred DNS and incrementally higher DNS servers.
So which is it?

wine is a windows emulator for unix based operating systems so that they can run windows programs.

your first step is installing virtualbox and then gentoo
after that you install wine

About UDP communication in C, it says right there that the client doesn't need to be ACTIVELY receiving to get datagrams, which makes 0 sense because if that was the case then what the fuck is recvfrom() supposed to do?

>>54964858
Just wondering, when I do the "upgrade" choice instead of the fresh install, what exactly goes into that? Wouldn't keeping all the stuff the upgrade says it keeps just keep the problem?

My main problems are:
Chrome not saving passwords or keeping me logged into sites even though I've done everything possible (if you bring it up, I've done it believe me) to fix that
System restores not working
Can't save files in stupid places that I always could, like saving pictures in "my pictures"

>>54965252
No, I need wine under windows, not under a VM.

New to desktops, only used notebooks so far.

A video card consumes too much power apparently, but if a card can consume 300W is only on heavy gaming, right? If I am shitposting then my consumption is lower and it is always consuming a lot?

If yes, is there a way to turn the video card off without opening the case and taking the cables out and use the integrated graphics until I really need it turned on again?

Is dual boot as great as it sounds?
What are the benefits?

dont know senpai, depends on where the issue is

Can wine run under cygwin?

>>54965294
not the person you replied to but:
not 100% sure as i havent looked into the specifics of it, but i think upgrade just affects your windows files/folders. if ccleaner somehow managed to fuck some of that up (seems like it could of considering your restores wont work, cant save files in certain locations, etc.) then it will hopefully be fixed with the upgrade option. if you do that and the issue persists, you might have to reinstall every affected program (im guessing youve tried that though), and maybe even do a fresh install of windows. using DBAN or something similar on the HD before reinstalling might fix the issue too

>>54965349

Alright, so I'm gonna go ahead and do the upgrade.

Last question to anyone who can answer for now, would using the "upgrade" throw in allll the updates I've locked out (I've got all my windows update stuff turned to never update because of windows 10) and stick me with all those updates containing the windows 10 ad stuff, or even INSTALL windows 10?

>A video card consumes too much power
get a better psu? really powerful card + shitty psu that cant even supply half the power the card needs = tons of issues
if you built the machine yourself, you probably shouldnt of
if you bought a "pre built" one from a store or something, you definitely shouldnt of


>if a card can consume 300W is only on heavy gaming, right?
dont think so. not entirely sure, but i think it pulls all that power no matter what, or at least somewhat close to that (like 250 when not under a heavy load/idling). Unless the card is set up to idle at low consumption and disable certain parts/features that require more power.

> is there a way to turn the video card off without opening the case
theres a way to choose what card to use, or set a preferred/default one, but i dont remember what it is. why not just unplug the power cable going to the card? it shouldnt be too hard, and if you post a picture of the inside of the pc people can help you find what cord to unplug
You should probably look this up, im pretty much pulling stuff out of my ass here because im too lazy to check it, so im probably completely wrong

No, as in, thunderstorm blackout surges are too powerful for any surge protection measures the motherboard can handle, and you shouldn't be on the computer during a thunderstorm? No as in, no you can't tell how good the surge protection is? No as in, it's not an issue, stop whining?

So I've got an Ubuntu install that I installed from the minimal CD. I only installed the basic system utilities and I've got i3 and my normal programs set up. I'm try to get network-manager set up and running so I can use my VPN but it's being a huge pain in the ass. When I open the applet and create a new wired connection, I have internet access but in the network manager it shows that it's never been used. Whenever I use the CLI for network manager it shows that the ethernet interface is unmanaged and I can't activate a new connection. I'm guessing something else is managing connections but I'm not sure where to go from here.

Any better alternative to FBReader for Android? I mostly read epubs.

>>54965706
Software like cpuid can tell you about your hardware. You need to know type of RAM (DD3 or DD4), speed, and timings. I think that's it. Sometimes two different brands with the same specs will cause BSOD when they should work. It happened when a Windows admin arbitrarily decided the COO's all-in-one needed more that day when it already had already had twice peak.

Your 'preferred' DNS usually just works like a cache for commonly requested NS lookups. If your request isn't in the cache, your 'preferred' server will look it up in its authoritive server. Else, it would be able to dynamically choose and update the best entries to cache.

I tried using the upgrade part of the windows 7 disc, but it fucking stops me with a "compatibility error" for a logitech webcam I don't even fucking own, and that isn't even in my device manager.

I literally can not get past this because it just tells me "fix the problem then try again :)" and sends me back to my desktop

Also, right now I'm using Chrome and sometimes even though my phone is pretty new and doesn't have much on it, I'm getting this redirect issue where sometimes I'll suddenly get sent to some spam site that starts triggering the vibrate and popping up a message.

Cooling it rapidly will cause more damage than letting it stay warm. Intermittent cooling is not a feasible strategy. What are you doing to make it get so hot? It's probably fine. Phones are specifically designed to not self-destruct under foreseeable circumstances.

You can hold it in something with high specific heat and contact area. I wouldn't worry about it. If you're alive, your phone will probably be fine. Silicon is way more heat tolerant than protein.

So I bought some wireless headphones and I'm able to pair them with my phone easily, but my computer (windows 10) refused to pair it.

Hey /g/. I've been working on craigslisting a home audio system after my previous hand-me-downs failed. Right now I have polk audio ii monitor 30s, and a denon avr-4800, and still working on the turntable. I hadn't set anything up in a while, so I decided to try it all out tonight. I have an RCA to AUX Cable to test out the sound from my laptop/phone. However, once hooked up (what I think is) correct, the sound that gets produced sounds like a muffled laptop speakers with the volume turned all the way up, but half as quiet. If I try to turn it up any more, it clips and the receiver shuts off. I have no idea what the issue is. The banana plugs I'm using were supposed to come with some sort of clamp, but those are missing, but the little spike that goes into the speaker wire is still holding the wire in place, so I don't think that's the issue. What could be my issue here? I wasn't under the impression that the AVR4800 needed a pre-amp, but was I wrong? What the hell is going on?

Pic related is the Cayley Table dihedral group of 8 elements (symmetries of a square). This doesn't look like any Cayley table I've ever seen (though I'm new to this sort of math).

It looks as though theyve dropped the header rows and columns, which makes sense as beginning the first rows and columns with the identity makes it clear what the elements are. But what are the red and white little boards above and to the left?

Also, why do we have numbers instead of the typical notation (I've seen r for rotation, s for flip about axis of symmetry, and all sorts of variants of the two, but never numbers)

In fact, there is a lot going on here I'm not familiar with. Can someone help me navigate what is being conveyed here?

Hey /g/ what would be the best monitor to dualscreen?

If you read the tcpdump tutorial and you're left with no idea what the fuck you're reading, then you need to learn basic networking, (OSI Model, etc).

If you're not sure why tcpdump is related then https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc896 .

If you still have questions, you could try asking help at #networking at freenode.net

>>54968837
>What is it actually doing?
It tries to reduce the amount of data sent for each bit of information by stockpiling data segments until it receives an acknowledgement from the last transfer.

>Why do some games say to disable it for better latency?
Honestly if you're sending data that small and don't need the 100% reliability of TCP you're better off with UDP (which is what most games use anyway).

Contacted recently by an old client/friend of mine whose wife is getting harassed via email. He wants me to try and figure out who is doing it. He's an old dude who pulled some strings to help me out and a really valuable reference, but I mainly just do physical PC repairs until I'm through with college.
Any tips? He's gonna be sending me the harassing e-mail address, content of the emails, and some possible culprits' info.
I figured I'd look for each one's social media, maybe find some associative trends in the email address (assuming its not completely random), try some possible passwords, etc. Mostly social engineering stuff.

>>54969165

You pretty much have one of the highest end Z97 motherboards, you cant upgrade from there.
The only other option you have is GA-Z97X-UD5H.
This motherboard will also limit you because 1150 socket only uses 10GB/s M2 , not 32GB/s UM2.

But yes I was talking about gimping my gpus, sli 980 ti, currently running 3.0 x8 x8
If i got the adapter it would run one in x8 one in x4
Is that possible or no?
Or I can have them run x4 x4 if it needs to be the same, i'm unsure. Bit i'm assuming it will mess up the performance

>>54971085
If you add something else to the third PCIe slot it will run like this:

It will bottleneck it the second card and not sure how would it affect perfomance in SLI.

Related to your malware problem you have 2 options.

1. Go full paranoid and reinstall windows.
2. Try to rescue your current partition and be paranoid later on.

I assume you will want 2 so here are the steps.

Tell me what happens once you start windows, is stuff still installing? if so.
Windows 7 or 8.1?

my mom installed windows 10 on her laptop, and now its stuck on a loop startup, it tries perform a automatic repair and fails, the tries to perform a diagnostic and fails that too. it then brings you to a menu where you can start windows 10 (which it also fails to do, which then loops back into the repair and diagnostic loop), an option to reset this pc (i guess format? but i need to keep the files so i need the option to keep the files, which also fails). another option to go back to a previous build but that fails as well. is there anything i can do?

hey, sorry. it is currently 11% through the chkdsk: 808079 of 1095002 index entries processed (stage 2 of 5)

i will respond to you again though when it finishes if you are still there, sorry.

Also, are you implyint my system restore isn't enough? if so, holy shit. But, I was on W7 ultimate.

And, my PC was crashing a lot today, before the virus.... it crashed at least six times, dunno why.... maybe the hdd is fucked otherwise, in a way unrelated to the virus... this was why, actually, i was trying to download HDD Tunr Pro - the program i thought was in the torrenr.... i eanted to chrck the statusnof my HD, but, my trial version of the program ranout and i wanted to have it workint foreve rinstead or cheesing a new trial perod..

The TCP/IP stack was standardized and quickly adopted by the US government and major telcos very early on and as a result many applications and devices worked flawlessly with it. Other proprietary standards tried to take a share of the "market" later on (ex. AppleTalk) but failed because they were too restrictive by design and were redundant at that point.

Also devices using different network models cannot communicate with one another, which means for something as interconnected as the internet, you really have to pick one and stick with it(unless there is some compatibility built in, but I won't go into specifics).

>can they work with other protocol suites
I suggest you just look up how the OSI and TCP/IP models work, desu I'm just sick of typing this all out on my phone.

chkdsk will take some hours, its literally reading every part of your HDD and checking if what is saved on it its correctly saved.

System restore reverts changes done to your OS, not the programs installed or files saved.
So its not.

You didnt needed the crack for HD Tune pro, you could have used a free alternative or HD sentinel.

I will be around 3-5 hours more because i have a rat problem so dont worry.
Such life in the fields.

>>54971317
Photos should be easy to copy, right?
And, I think, the skype settings should all just be in %appdata%\skype
try copying that to your computer and see if it works
What kind of baka can't remember their own logins anyway? ask her what she needs to keep desu, would help
I would just re-install with the original disk and restore the files you backup.

Where do I find porn on Snapchat?

OMG, that is TERIBLE.... i have a 1 TB HDD, and i was running "wipe free space" in CClener but it got interrupted, so some 400+ gigs of space occupied on my HDD was from the temporary file CCleaner creates in C:/ when doing its wipe.... i tried so many times to have CCleaner finish the wipe, but, my computer kept crashing before....

i was trying to use HD Tune Pro to confirm whether or not it was thr HDD causing the crashes, but, i got a virus instead it seems....

>System restore reverts changes done to your OS, not the programs installed or files saved.
>So its not.

wow my life is so fucked right now.... why did i think this was a good idea... why......... mbam didn't even detect anything..... also, duly noted on the HDD Tune Pro alternative; thank you....

Anon, I'm saying YOU restore the data.
You can always boot up linux from USB and backup her files.
Geesh.
If that fails because secure boot or some BS, just unplug the drive and put it in your computer to get to the files.
But, I feel like from the way you are typing this out, you don't know shit.

Why not encrypt the stuff? Why are you bothering to back up unoriginal data? I wouldn't unless it's something rare you won't be able to torrent again.

>>54971416
It wont take that much, probably 4 hours tops for a 1TB HDD.
Also i have the feeling you fucked up something if you ran the CC cleaner wiper and cancelled/stopped it.

Never download cracks from torrents with no comments.

Also Adwcleaner, JRT and another pass of malwarebytes should get rid of most adware.
When you can use your PC again i will tell you what do.

TLDR of it:
Remove stuff in the startup list.
Run malware cleaning programs.
Check if everything is OK.
Check your HDD.

chkdsk is currently at stage 4 of 5, which is verifying file data, at 181599 of 805104, and it still says 11 percent completed as it did on stage two like 30 mins ago...

and yeah maybe the CCleaner wipe being interrupted fucked something... but, it only eveen got interruptee because of a crash...

and, I used to run mbam + MSE, but then yrs later /g/ told me MSE was redundant with mbam. but look where that got me, eh?

but, oh, i see, the startup list..... i should've just done that instead of chkdsk when system restore failed and suggested i run this... i was anxious and not thinking, sorry....

my startup programs are few, so, that will likely fix it up real quick and easy...

the chkdsk thing is currently at 222k now

Well I was trying to determine what you just told me, I was unaware of that fact hence sqt
Given my current setup
(msi gaming 5, 4770k, 980ti sli)
would getting an m.2 to pcie adapter be a waste of money, i'm thinking if I installed that it would bottleneck the gpus

Stage 5 will take even more.

If Malwarebytes didnt detect anything MSE wouldnt either.
Sounds like you installed malware disguised as adware.
If something shady is in your PC, you would see it starting in the startup list.

So, you installed the crack and shady programs started to be downloaded and/or installed right?

no it was like, i launched the "Setup.exe", then as soon as i hit the circle for "i accept the liscence terms and agreement" or whatever, shit started downloading and my browser started loading webpages....

and, i understand about thr MSE thing. I will use the other things you suggested i use alongside mbam, then. Cheers.

but now i am secretly really upset this virus is gone from utorrent 40 mins after i fall for it.... i deleted it immediately so i don't even have any proof it ever existed... i am actually very upset.... why did this happen to me....

>>54971918
Well it was kinda your fault, mostly because inexperience rather than stupidity.

Never download stuff from torrent sites that have no comments or that are new.
Always check the SHA-1 of the stuff you download.
Dont use piratebay, use kat.cr.
The last 3 things specially apply for cracks and ISOs, specially the SHA-1/SHA-256.
Cracks are usually keygens and stuff, not .exes/installers.

I would be worried you got some shady stuff in your PC rather than just adware but im just being paranoid here.

>>54971838
Enabling x8/x4/x4 mode and running the second card with 4 lanes probably wouldn't bottleneck it, but I don't know of any testing to that effect

Really the question is what you would be doing with the 950 that you would even notice a difference in the speed?

hello thread i found 2 of these today

i got a problem thjat needs fixing

i got a 30m ethernet cable connected to 1 modem (neither of the ones pictured ) and i want to basically use one of the ones i found in the pic as a repeater/extender of some sort. could i just plug the new found router into existing modem and set it up with the same settings as original router, and be able to use it as a wireless point + plug ethernet cords into it gain internet access?

thank u god bless

>>54971968
>Dont use piratebay, use kat.cr.

Oh, ok. I will take this to heart from now on.

And, sorry for not responding to your suggestion earlier of not fucking with anything that has no commente. i understand. it seems obvious but, i fucked up.

and, chkdsk JUST went to 12%, and it is 564k of 805k completed of stage 4, so, i can see what you mean about stage 5 of 5 taking a lot longer....

i just really fucked up this time... fuck. And, yeah, i know. i don't know why i fucked with a plain .exe file.... i've used keygens before, and i could'vr just gotten a clean installer of the program from the source website myself....

i don't know what i was thinking.... i even clicked "register" on my HD Tune Pro thng with the expired trial period and it opened a page in my browser saying the product costs 35/ 25 dollars.... i really ruined my night with my naivete...

>>54971997
log into the web interface on one of those and take a look at the settings. See if there is anything that says something like wireless bridge, wireless repeater, etc.

Second option if there are no settings like that, look around for hacked firmware for the specific model number and play around with it.

Worst case scenario, get a long ethernet cable and route it through your house.

>>54971985
that isn't the question anon don't be silly. But
I purchased it due to the price I acquired it for, now I can use it for my main file storage drive for things that I access frequently in order to speed up things

>>54971985
Anyone aware if x8/x4/x4 would bottleneck a 980ti sli config?

Yes, one 3.0 lane is about the same speed as two 2.0 lanes

>>54972050
Well its only one night without your PC, unless you had something important to do there is nothing wrong while it can be fixed.

This is why everyone here always has a Linux USB/partition in case of emergencies.

I will repeat this just because why not.
Once you are done with CHKDSK run windows in safe mode, open the startup list and disable everything that looks shady.
Then download adwcleaner and run it, this will remove programs installed that are considered junk and fix your browsers.
Then JRT.
Then malwarebytes again.
Then open Speccy/Cristaldiskinfo/etc and post your SMART data, something is wrong with your HDD.

If you still notice problems, well you might have to reinstall windows since with shady malware you go full paranoid.
I would tell you stuff but it would probably just scare you so first thing first.

Oh, will do. the chkdsk thing is currentlt at 14% right now and on stage 5 of 5...

i will do all you suggest as soon as i can, ESPECIALLY starting in safe mode...

sorry i'm wasting your time with this chkdsk thing... i really just panicked and didn't want to keep my laptop on with the virus going... sorry... sorry...

>If you still notice problems, well you might have to reinstall windows since with shady malware you go full paranoid.

well hopefully i won't still notice problems, because this has been an awful experience, even if it is mostly just going to be time wasted from my urnning chkdsk in panic in my ignorance...

thanks again for helping me... And, the chkdsk thing is already at 17%, so, maybe it'll finish fadter than expected, but i'd rather not expect quicker only to be disappointed...

Why did my professor write "see you next tuesday!" on my paper he handed back when I am only in his class monday wednesday and friday?

Just noticed an ethernet cable plugged into the back of my PC, I didn't put it there and have always exclusively used wifi. Traced it and it runs out a small hole in the wall and then down into the dirt in my backyard and from there it goes too deep for me to see where it goes. What should I do? Should I disconnect it? This is freaking me out.
