It looks to me like these wires should be going to a serial port, instead they're USB. Is it possible to connect this device to a serial port?

I fucked up, dont laugh

my 14.04 ubuntu was messed up, reinstalled it, but accidentally encrypted or something... long story short my hard disk got formatted and i didnt know, so i upgraded to 16.04 but that was making me go into grub rescue mode so i booted 14.04 from cd and cleared my whole disk again from gparted. Then i took out an old windows 7 cd from 2009 and installed windows 7

anyway, should i upgrade to windows 10 or keep windows 7? i mainly use my computer for gaming. I dont play new games so w7 should run anything i wanna play.

Or should i try to reinstall 16.04

I switched to Linux a few months ago. Been going through programming tutorials compiling with mingw32, was no problem on windows up until now where I wrote a test program that didn't run well in a vm. So I checked wine and wit worked better. Thought I'd ditch the VM and just cross-compile from now on.
So I just installed the mingw32 toolchain for linux and it I can compile with

/opt/mingw64/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc source.cpp -o exe

just fine. But I can't figure out how to use old and trusted mingw32-make with with this setup.

Can anyone help?

I'm going to dual boot Windows 7 and Debian with two SSDs. Do I need to do anything special, or just put Windows on one, then Debian on the other? I know when I dual booted before, I had to install carefully, mess with partition sizes, and install Linux second so that grub would overwrite Windows boot stuff, but that was also when I used a single drive.

Also, anything I should do as far as fucking with swap sizes or anything? I'll have a 250GB SSD and a 1TB HDD for each OS(so 4 drives), what's the best way to set that up so that each can access the others drive, and so everything is mounted somewhere good in Linux?

I suggest you a very simple way to make things up. Go ahead and install windows 7 and disable updates. Download wubi installer for Ubuntu LTS and run it. After restarting, Ubuntu's installation will complete in about 10 mins. You can update Ubuntu using

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

.


Then you have it. Windows and ubantoo.

My work requires us to change passwords every 3 months, when changed, it won't allow incremental password changes, such as password1 to password2.

Now would this mean somewhere these passwords are plain text as how would it tell its incremental if it was properly encrypted, or is there a secure way they can tell.

>>55041466
Does the password change form require you to put in the old password? If it does it could just check the hash to see its the correct password when changing it and then compare it to the new one without storing it.

But they probably are storing them in plaintext

>>55041466
Yeah I am pretty sure they are unencrypted. Even if they are encrypted, the way that they check incremental changes could be pretty much flawed.

>>55041466
they could just save the numbers and check if the new password has any numbers that are incremented by one from the old.

you'll never know without knowing the system behind it, but it's possible that they just save it in plaintext.

I downlaoded Ubuntu GNOME 16.04, will it work with wubi?

Do closed ports present a security risk? My new ISP's router has two udp ports closed and the rest filtered, and it has me a bit worried. Google doesn't really help, you get people saying all your ports need to be "stealth" because it makes you invisible to probes and others saying it's overrated.

My dad has a Lenovo T400 running Windows 10 with Intel 5100 Wifi. Since updating it to Windows 10, the wifi drops out occasionally and I have to restart to get it back working. Sometimes it doesn't work after one restart and I have to restart again. I get 4-5 errors like pic related every time. I'm thinking about just downgrading back to 7 but I don't feel like dealing with 12 hours of updates and having to be on eternal watch for Win 10 forced updates.

Can Americans actually buy a phone without cucking themselves with a contract?

>>55042080
Yes. We've always been able to, it's that carriers used to charge you just as much monthly no matter if you bought your phone outright or not, so you'd be stupid not to get one subsidized from the carrier. Nowadays, more and more carriers have stopped subsidizing phones, lowered their plan rates, and you pay for your phone independently with the option of paying for it in monthly installments.

>>55042080
Yes you can buy the phone from the store for full retail price ($500-1000+), order one from an online retailer, or finance one (for 0% interest) with a prepaid plan.

>grub bootloader
This is the exact reason I told you to use wubi. See if you had used wubi, windows bootloader would start at the beginning to chose windows 7 or Ubuntu.

Since you seem like a beginner, troubleshooting with grub might be daunting.

But for the fuck of it, since you installed anyway, tell me your pc specs. Especially GPU in your case. Also does windows boot fine from grub? An screenshot/picture from cam of grub screen would be nice.


>>55042680
Linux uses ext, ext4 and such. Windows explorer for some shit ass reason doesn't show the drives formatted with such types. Windows shows only the disks with fat, NTFS and the like. So you can't see Linux partition from windows. Couple third party software do exist in windows which lets you view all partitions.

>>55042680

linux supports every filesystem windows does, but windows doesn't support any filesystem you'd typically use for a linux installation

I recently completed my first build, and I'm having some issues with the wireless adapter. I've tried all of the basic fixes I could, but I'm unable to establish a consistent connection.

I don't get "disconnected" completely from my wireless, but the rate bottoms out and I'm unable to do anything, and I subsequently get booted form any game/website that I'm on. Things I've tried:

-flushing DNS
-moving the adapter to a different PCI slot
-adjusting the antennas on the adapter
-removing the antennas on the adapter
-fidgeting with most of the wireless settings through windows

When I go into the software that came with the adapter, it will list the signal strength as "good" or "excellent", but the rate will fluctuate from 38-52Mbps, and then drop to 1Mbps (at which point I have no connection).

I've had two different computers sit at this desk in the past, with little to no connection issues. Here's what I'm working it-

I have had the creatives for years, and got some piston 3s a month or two ago.

The creatives have much more bass than the pistons and a generally richer sound, with the pistons being more clear and easier to hear finer musical details than the creatives which tend to drown them out with deep mids.

They are both good, but I usually listen to my piston 3s more.

Learn me up about M.2 SSD's.

what's a good, cheap multimeter?

I cut some parts out of some videos, on their own they play fine, but once I put them together in one video there's a slight corruption or something

Any ideas?

>>55044373
Improper keyframing

Where do programs installed in a software manager go? What's the linux equivalent of Program Files?

>>55044424
Is that a problem with the video itself or on my end? It seems no matter where I cut a part from, it leads to issues
Some work fine, others don't

what graphics card do I get for around $200?

I'm fine with waiting for something to be released or prices to be dropped if that matters.

Okay, so I just got a new ASUS Mobo (The ROG Maximus VIII Hero) and Fractal Design's Kelvin S36.
The mobo has 2 cpu fan connections, as well as one for a pump. I hooked up the pump to the cpu connection point, but where do I connect the 4-pin PWM for the fans?
Should they be connected to the cpu fan connections, or just and fan connection?
I'm curious, since I placed the cooler in the front of the case.

>>55044667
If the fan is cooling the CPU you should plug it into the CPU fan connector

Me again, still looking for a damn mobo for this build. Don't know what the fuck I'm doing. I see a spotty review on newegg and get spooked off.
halp this noob plox:

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/vYqP6X

I'm trying to set up a Linux-based router for my home network. I have a Raspberry Pi with integrated WiFi and Ethernet and a USB-to-Ethernet adapter, so I got one interface for WAN and two interfaces for LAN.

I've managed to get either Ethernet or WiFi to work at a time by fucking around in /etc/network/interfaces and with the "ip" tool. However, I've never managed to get WAN access on both WiFI and LAN. When I reboot the Pi, it seems that the interface that gets initialized first gets the connection, usually Ethernet.

Is there something I'm missing? Some obscure setting in a hidden config file? Should I use bridging? Pls halp.

>>55044691
I suppose that makes sense.
I'm a bit confused, since the instructions for the cooler says to plug in the fans to and fan connection close to the 24-pin, and the pump to the cpu fan connection. But that assumes that there's no specific fan connection on the mobo.

>>55044692
how much do you want to spend?

>>55044692
What do you need an 850w power supply for? A 500-550 w should be enough for a single graphics card build.

>>55044667
The speed of fans on the CPU slot depend on the temperature of the CPU. Chassis fans go at a constant RPM unless told otherwise. I highly recommend you connect it to the CPU slot.

The holes are already there. They're the holes that the stock intel cooler snap into, you just put these socket type things over them and then screw the bolts in from the other side.

It's not just apple, a lot of consumer tech companies are doing this now.

Basically, durable cables with good strain relief don't sell as well because they're heavy, don't bend easily, and don't look nice (they use PVC or something instead of the rubberized stuff used by apple, etc).

TLDR companies make "sexy" cables instead of durable ones because that's what sells

Everytime I boot my PC, I've had this "have to check for consistency" message, saying that one of my hard drive was fucked up, but everytime it tried to check the disk, the scan failed and Windows booted normally.

I didn't think it held any importance until I realized that everytime I booted a 3D game, my screen turns off, I hear a Windows error pop-up sound, and then I have to manually restart my PC because there's nothing else happening (the sound does go on for a few seconds, before stopping completely).

I tried to see if it was a voltage problem on my GPU or if my power supply was having failures, but after tweaking my system for it to consume less power, my PC still crashed on 3D games. The thing that weirded me out is that iso 2D games like Age of Empires, or Stronghold, don't crash. Same for 2D sidescrollers.

So I went on doing Disk Health scans with UBCD, and then I noticed that my disks looked pretty fucked.

So I'm asking you /g/, is there a possibility that those problems can cause such things ? The screen turning off and the hard reboot ?

Sorry for the image quality, I didn't know any other way to take a screenshot in the UBCD tool.

I have a T420 and want to get a video card for it under $80, I just need it to play games.

>>55049164
I expect so, but I can't imagine what that could be. Motherboards should not be incompatible with RAM like that. It's not like you're using apple hardware, is it?

>>55040813
>but that was also when I used a single drive.
if you still have this issue, and grub doesn't recognize window, boot on linux and run
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
it will regenerate the grub config file and it will detect windows.
If you ever have an issue with the boot process, there is a tool called boot-repair that fix stuff for you automatically if you're lazy to search a solution to your problem.

>Also, anything I should do as far as fucking with swap sizes or anything? I'll have a 250GB SSD and a 1TB HDD for each OS(so 4 drives), what's the best way to set that up so that each can access the others drive, and so everything is mounted somewhere good in Linux?

Install windows on one SSD normally
the two hard drives should be formated and using the NTFS because windows can't into NTFS while linux can. It will permit to have your documents, music, videos, etc. accessible everywhere.
For the Linux SSD you can do whatever you want. I recommend you to have a /boot and / partition, (/boot is ~250 - 300MB).

If linux doesn't automatically mount your drive, you will have to play with the fstab file. Sadly I don't remember which modifications you needed to do to mount it automatically.

That's not how it works.

>>55049254
Nope.

I think their servers are shit.
Using their online tool, its ~65mbit slower then i get downloading actual things.
Their servers dont have any fuckery running an mtr

>>55049374
Full stops need to be followed by spaces so I don't parse them as hyperlinks beep boop

On Windows, is there a way to execute a specific command as admin without first launching an admin CMD windows? Like you can in linux by putting "sudo" before the command.

Looks like GTX 480 is the best you can get.

Here's another hobby you could get into for a little over $100:

Good options for studio monitors
Budget 300 for a pair

>>55049496
Looks like it aims to be more of a computer janitor company? Is that a good name for a company in Indiana?

>>55049622
Why do that when you could purchase 1,578 bananas from that store that sells them by the each, and make the normie cashiers count them.

Are there any good alternative keyboards for the Surface pro 3?

>>55049626
i think its a reference to a cheap price on services

Did the /g/ ftp server die?

>>55049622
MDR-V6/MDR-7506

Guys anyone have references about the Fostex Pm04??

>>55049838
What's your use case?

>>55049838
Just gonna use it for playback, mainly animuh/Vydia OST
Like https://youtu.be/h0Leq8ag9BM?t=249

Shit this >>55049933
was for this >>55049880

Then you don't want studio monitors. They're for producing *accurate* sound, which often isn't the most enjoyable. If you want something pleasant that still has the "look ma I'm an audio pro" wank factor, reference speakers are what you should get.

recently restarted fresh with my win7 and i have a question, is there a better alternative for windows update? Reinstalling all the updates wouldn't be such a pain in the ass if the damn thing didn't fell apart so easily, i am aware you can download them individually i am just asking if there isn't a program to avoid this

>>55050024
>reference speakers
Could you give me some examples? Like Mackies CR4 and M-audio AV42 ?

Has anyone used that lisp OS? I think it's called mezzano or something.

>>55050057
Just get cheap bookshelf speakers and set aside some of that money stuff other than loser activities.

>>55039797
What is the attraction to a mechanical keyboard? Why bother?

>>55050171
People enjoy the feel of them. It's highly subjective. People with more money than sense who prefer rubber domes and want the best of both worlds get Topre stuff.

They may have zero appeal to you, but it's best not to know what you're missing and that's coming from someone who enjoys theirs.

>>55039797
Does anyone here still use Tox? I just installed it for work and I wonder if anyone here used it. Tell me if you do so I can get used to how it works

Is there a texting app like Facebook Messenger where you get a little bubble on the screen so that you can do other stuff while waiting for a reply, and immediately being able to respond?

>>55050171
just werx's better.

Google and google-related services like youtube and shit CONSTANTLY eat shit. What gives?

>>55050523
¿Que?

>>55050541
Specifically, the search engine stops searching and won't do jack, and youtube's everything stops loading, won't buffer videos, won't load the homepage, etc.

>>55050563

why is my upload speed faster than my download? (Shows this on ookla too, but as 4.75Mbps down and 19.25Mbps up)

>>55050818
Because most internet connections are like that.

>>55050870
this started on friday.

>>55050818
Have you checked your router, and other things? Might not be on your end also. I had similar problems and it was my ISPs connection.

How the fuck do you unscrew a hyper 212 evos bracket from the mounting screws? It just turns the mounting parts and can't come off

Help

>>55050870
>>55050875
I actually read that backwards, are you sure there isn't something using your download somewhere?

>>55050818
Call your ISP, that its not normal at all.

>>55050889
Get two wrenches or pliers

Are all SSD's the same physical size, or do laptop and desktop drives have diffirent dimensions?

>>55050961
Some 2.5" drives come in different sizes but most SSDs are 7mm

>>55050870
>200mbit symetrical

>>55050994
So if I already have a boot SSD in a laptop and I'm going to build a desktop there should be no reason to buy a new one, correct?

>>55051022
Well I'd figure you'd want to keep using the laptop, but sure it would fit. If your case doesn't have mounts for 2.5" drives you can get a 3.5" adapter or tape it somewhere, it doesn't really matter.

>>55051046
I would eventually be getting a different drive for the laptop, I'm just looking to save money and also since the laptop is currently my main machine it would be nice to have the boot drive already set up.

Thanks for answering.

>>55050961
Most SSDs are 7mm, there are 9mm too but w/e.

With some cheap SSDs you might need a 3.5" adapter since they dont come with screws in the sides.

New to windows here
is windows defender something I should leave enabled
or do yall just disable that shit

>>55051329
I turned it off in 7 because it was waking me with hard drive noise. I've left it on so far in 10.

>>55051365

basically is it actually defending against anything?
or is it there just in case you download porn.exe

>>55051433
drvie-by shit happens if you browse without NoScript or umatrix or whatever. Not so much anymore.

does anyone know if a geforce gt 730 can run overwatch on it’s lowest settings?

Any recommendations for a good custom PC building services?

I found this one: http://portatech.com/
I'm aware that I can build it myself, I just don't have the time.
