Your own e-mail server.

Is the Dell XPS 15 the way to go if you want a gayman laptop? I have a 500 GB SSD in my current laptop that I can just put in it so the slow storage isn't an issue.

>>using a proxy on a private tracker
It's a reasonable thing to do if you just want to access the site because of it blocking ipv6.
>>recommending razer
Admittedly Razer is pretty bad, but honestly they've been getting pretty good in the past few months with that open source VR shit. Haven't been following the company a whole lot though, so I don't know much about the company as a whole other than that they make gaming products.

>>55195734
Shit, yeah. Well, depends what kind of gaming you'll be doing. The XPS 15 has a 960M graphics chip, which is decent. What are you exactly planning to run?

The ABSOLUTE best "bang-for-your-buck" graphics card would probably be the 750ti. You should probably wait for Nvidia to announce their entire 1000-series first though.

It should. Wouldn't depend on it though. A few threads ago anon was able to upgrade to an entirely different architecture and have little to no problems, but was running Windows, which uses the NT kernel and not the Linux kernel.

>>55196556
Just mic works. But same issue. If I plug in the mic the whole way its like I have a guitar amp and someone turned every knob to max and then turned volume halfways to 1.

>>55196644
Go to this configuration window and speak into your mic while it's fully plugged in, do any of them work?
Also, is this a mumble-specific problem?

Recently my Toshiba 1TB external HDD stopped working. My computer acknowledges it as a "External Drive" but I can't actually access my files or do anything with it. The little white light goes on but then off after several seconds, any help? I have TONS of stuff in there I cannot lose. Might be related but my retarded cat knocked the drive down a bit while it was connected, I can still feel it reading through the casing.

>>55196703
Now you know why you should make backups of important files roflol

>>55196703
You can try taking it out of the enclosure and plugging it in directly, but if the computer is reading its presence when its plugged in I wouldn't be too optimistic

Make a backup next time.

What is private tracking.

>>55196669
No and it happens in every voip program. I tried disabling them all too and that doesnt work either. But my mic works perfectly in say Adobe Soundbooth like I showed in. >>55196408

I tried switching out the cables and the soundcard through amazon. Could both soundcards be identically broken? That seems strange.

Dude he's like 9, he won't even be able to notice the difference between high and low settings. Literally all he does is play minecraft and watch letsplays on youtube.

>>55196703
Did it disconnect when the cat knocked it down? When the white light goes off, does the disk still appear on the computer?

I see 3 possibilities:

A. Hardware is fine, filesystem got damaged from the surprised disconnect when the cat knocked it down. Chkdsk would fix this.

B. The SATA/USB adapter part in the disk is damaged, but the drive is fine. If you open it up and remove the drive, and attach it to a SATA-to-USB adapter or put it into a new enclosure, it will work again.

C. Drive is damaged. Basically you're fucked. You can look into professional data recovery, but that costs a fair deal.

Minecraft is relatively graphics-intensive. A 610 WON'T be able to run it.

>>55196842
A 730 surely will then?

I have a 730M in my laptop. Minecraft runs pretty darn well. 1080p, 60 FPS, I only see less when poorly optimized rain causes it to drop to about 50 FPS.

A desktop 730 is more powerful than a 730M.

Good enough that if you were to get him a game or two on steam that is more demanding then minecraft then he probably could run it on low settings.

Last question folks.

I'm getting confused by the different versions of the 730 card.
GDDR5 or DDR3?
64 bit or 128 bit?

Here's a GDDR I found that's in stock:

And I've also been considered the different options for the EVGA 730 that I linked before:

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Profile-Graphics-02G-P3-1733-KR/dp/B00LJZQEV4/ref=sr_1_26?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1466549423&sr=1-26&keywords=Nvidia+GeForce

>>55197225
If you're buying a 730, it doesn't matter because you're obviously not getting it for the performance.

anyone has an insomnia shell account invite? I want to give it a try

>>55197223
what about windows tho

>>55197225
GDDR3 or 5, doesn't really matter, just as long as it's NOT regular DDR3.

And the bit width dosn't really matter either since the memory isn't going to bottle neck a GPU of it's speed.

Does a 0dB GPU make the rest of components in your case hotter due to the higher idle temp.

My 4790K idles at 40 Celsius and before my GPU upgrade it idled at 30 Celsius.

Load temps are roughly the same, max is 70 on both the CPU and GPU, but the idle of the CPU is nagging me.

Anyways you can get a decent laptop to write code and do 3d modeling for just under $300, just gotta look hard. You should be able to find a 4gb RAM w/ 500gb HDD and a decent CPU for just under $300.

>>55197879
Not particularly, but you aren't going to get much power out of the computer for $300. You're going to be able to play puzzle games, indies, and old school runescape. The better a system you get, the better you'll be able to run said programs, and $300 isn't exactly a lot for a computer. It's really far into the cheap end. You're going to get a pos consumer grade laptop for that price, even with a lit of research and tech know-how on your end.

Not a new *cable*, a new HDD enclosure. Open up the plastic case around the USB HDD. Inside you should find a normal desktop or laptop HDD, and a board that plugs into its SATA plug and has a USB socket. That's the board that I suspect is bad. Many USB HDDs have shitty ones and they die all the time.

Get a new USB SATA enclosure off Newegg or wherever. Look at reviews and choose one people have had good experiences with. Some of them die more often and some are slow. There are reliable and fast ones out there.

This isn't a guarantee of course -- the USB wire or the drive itself may still be bad. Converter boards and USB wires are pretty cheap and easy to replace. The drive itself is not.

-driver issues-
Hey /g/ I have a problem. I just finished installing windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on an Asus laptop and I realized I miss a lot of drivers (pic related) so I figured I'd download internet driver from my other PC, then all the others from this laptop. So I went on asus website, downloaded correct w-lan driver, moved to usb stick, and then laptop couldnt recognize usb stick, i tried all my usb sticks in all my 3 usb port but nothing. How do i make my win 7 operational /g/ ?

I'm trying to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu each from a different HDD. Windows is NTFS 1TB and Ubuntu ext4 2TB. When I try to install Windows in the 1TB disk it says that it has to copy some files to the 2TB disk, and that it can't do it because it isn't a Windows supported filesystem. How do I change it so it installs on it's own HDD instead of trying to hijack the other one?

Will I be forced to make a tiny ntfs partition in the 2TB disk just so Windows can install properly in the other one? I'm on a GParted live CD please help.

Do GTX 1080's need 2 8 pins to do anything past stock settings? The 1080 I'm thinking about buying (When its actually in stock for more then 2 seconds) only has 1 8 pin connector, so I'm worried about power draw if I try to overclock or anything.

im retarded and didn't know you primarily need a linux to code and compile shit, so I got MinGW and now the 'make' command to work, even when I found the application and its in the right folder

Not him, but if you repeatedly buy the $5-20 ones, you always end up with shit quality wire and it wears out like that. Buy high quality headphones and the wire will be high quality and last a really long time.

...and then there's the dollar store earbuds. The wire on those seems to be designed to last only a little longer than the disappointment caused by the sound quality. And one of the speakers probably doesn't work either, because what did you expect for $1.

First of all, how the FUCK isn't this thing shutting itself off to save itself from dying? It's throttled down to 1.25ghz from factory 3ghz

Second, what can cause such ridiculous temperatures? The fans are working fine, they've been cleaned from the inside out. I haven't checked thermal paste yet, but I doubt a bit of old, dry paste can cause THAT degree of temp spiking.

My gpu's paste went bad after 6 years. New paste and its down to ~30c idle from being ~85c idle prior.
They didnt apply the paste correctly, and had like 3mm of paste OFF the dye for a good inche on each side and it was all over the fucking pincs blocking good heat transfer

>>55199661
Right click the program you want and choose "Pin to taskbar"

>>55199627
Sounds like bad thermal paste. Also do clean the heatsinks more thoroughly. I've seen cases where the fans look clear and nothing comes out when blasted with canned air, but there's a mat of dust right behind the heatsink fins so the air can't actually get through very well. It looks almost like a little air filter.

Also I know some chips have had issues where they basically run hotter and hotter until they cook themselves, due to poor connections with bonding wires. Dunno if the A-6 had anything like this.

>>55199660
Speccy temps are somewhat suspect, but if the BIOS screen agrees, I'd trust it.

>>55199661
Find a shortcut (like a desktop shortcut) to said program, right click it and it should say pin to taskbar. Or drag the desktop shortcut onto your taskbar, and it should create it's own taskbar shortcut that way.

That is a list of tray notification icons. If a program doesn't make tray notifications, it won't appear there.

To pin a program to the left side of the taskbar, do like in >>55199674 or >>55199691, or run the program, right click its window button, and "Pin this program to the taskbar".

>>55199718
Perhaps it's cached on the Windows end. Give it a while or reboot.

Yes. Ccleaner is *running* and making that notification. Those are not shortcuts. All of those correspond to running processes.

What's the best way to make a fake facebook profile without it getting deleted?

even if the bios temp was wrong, throttling to 1.25ghz is a pretty clear sign.

I actually dropped off the laptop at a local "mom and pop" style computer repair place. They said they can't figure out what the problem is yet.

If you're trying to desolder more than 2 contacts at once I'd invest in a cheap solder sucker, they can be like $3 from eBay. While you're at it invest in a little flux, it'll make the whole process of soldering a hell of a lot easier.

To detach the switch properly heat the lead on the other side of the board and not the solder until the solder melts, suck out with a solder sucker and move on. After that you should end up with a board you can just drop a switch onto, add some flux to the pins on the new switch once it's in the board and add solder.

Assuming they're competent, it's likely the defective chip thing I mentioned. At least with the Nvidia ones, the issue was the bonding wires connecting the silicon to the pins
/pads on the chip. The wires were attached using bad lead-free solder, which weakens and cracks over time from thermal cycles. The weakened solder conducts more poorly and generates more heat, damaging it more quickly. Eventually it just dies.

Some people have had luck heating the chips using an oven or heat gun. It's not a permanent fix, but it makes it work right again at least for a time. It works by melting or at least softening the solder and making it conduct a bit better.

>Surprisingly they didn't mention thermal paste.
And if they're totally incompetent, they may have pulled the heatsink off the chip and stuck it back on without cleaning off the old paste or putting on new...

I haven't worked out the bias calculations yet but would this general design be good for a low power portable headphone amplifier designed for 16-64 ohm headphones?

The common source amplifier stage provides a small amount of voltage gain to take a roughly 100-400mV audio signal up to around 1.7V or so. From there it'll go into a Darlington pair emitter follower with large current gain to drive up to 30mA of current to the headphones.

The circuit will need to be duplicated for stereo channels and I'll add a pot for volume control at some point as well. I was going to run this off 2 AA batteries initially but the 2000mAh capacity seems kind of shit so maybe a low voltage lithium ion battery would be better.

Why is it that whenever I try to add a hard drive to my windows 7 system it fucks everything up and everything gets corrupted and I have to reinstall windows to get everything back to normal?

>>55200236
Because you're doing something wrong.

Be more specific about what happens when you try to boot and someone might be able to help you. Perhaps it's trying to boot from the new disk you put in. Maybe you put the new disk on a lower number SATA port, causing it to be C: and force your real system disk to be D:.

If I install my hard drive from my current computer in a new computer, will Windows boot up and be activated and stuff? Or should I just uninstall/deactivate Windows from my old computer and reinstall it on my new computer?

I have a weird issue with my dualshock 4

On windows, I'm able to get it to work over bluetooth, but it won't connect over usb.
On linux, I have the oppopsite problem, it works over usb but not bluetooth.

On windows, it shows up in device manager under libusb-win32 Usb Devices, as wireless controller, but makes no other signs of connection (lightbar shows up with the orange charging color).
On linux, it seems to connect fine, making the same blue connection color on the lightbar as usb, but none of the buttons work (though a controller does seem to be detected).

Anyone have any idea how to fix either issue? I know it worked over usb on windows at some point

I use a HAF XB case, when I first installed windows and used the hot swap hard drive bay everything was fine.

recently when I plugged a drive in it just corrupted windows, something about an error on an .exe, I tried my windows USB but no repair option.

it happened before as well with a new hard drive, but when I got a replacement hard drive no issues.

it's incredibly sporadic when it happens, but I don't see how plugging in a drive would casuse windows to become corrupt on the next boot up, even selecting my SSD directly didn't boot into windows, and then for a few boots no drives were detected


guess I could finally try out GNU/linux again after I back up my data though, need to try doing a GPU passthrough

Are these sub-$100 480 GB SSD worth it?

I usually buy Crucial or Samsung, but this time I'm a little tight on budget.

Performance not really a concern, most SSD are fast enough for me these days.
I'm more concerned with the thing dying on me randomly.

>>55200537
No.

If you need the cheapest SSD possible get an ADATA SP550 or a Sandisk SSD Plus.

PNY is horrible for SSDs.
Never heard of silicon power about SSDs.
OCZ makes low quality SSDs but they are "acceptable".

If you want reliability just get a 850 EVO.

It may or may not work. It will *not* be activated. If it's an OEM Windows, you'll either need to buy a new license or pirate it. If it's a retail Windows you can either reactivate or do the phone activation thing where you talk to a robot.

As for it actually working at all, it depends. If one computer's SATA is in IDE mode and the other is in AHCI mode, it won't work unless you apply the registry patch just before moving it, so it rescans next boot. But I've successfully moved a Windows 7 HDD from an HP laptop with AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU to a Dell laptop with Intel CPU and GPU. It booted up fine, though I had to install various drivers to get everything working reasonably.

Also the UNIXy command line utilities on it are nice and infinitely better than the Windows command line, but it still leaves you wishing for proper GNU tools now and then. Stuff like little differences in command line options or missing or different features. Then there's stuff like when you go to install a small library in Macports and it tries to pull in and compile a whole GCC toolchain a couple minor release numbers away from one you already have.

Of course if you don't know computers and want something that will just work and let you get on Facebook or Xcode, OSX is great.

What can I say. Welcome to the world of Windows.

If you want it to just work but then periodically just break, use Windows.

If you want to put some effort into getting everything to work right, but have it stay that way once set up, use Linux.

>But 10Gb/s?
Is enough for me. I don't do huge file transfers all that often, the main benefit would be gaming. I already barely have load screens on my regular 2.5" sata SSD, I don't need to spend the extra money for a PCIe m.2 SSD when I'd mainly be moving to it for cable management reasons. Of course if I upgrade in two years, PCIe m.2 SSDs might be cheap enough that I'll get one just to be future proof.

Trying to build a newer PC on a budget, been watching local ads. This is the only thing that has really come up.

Is this worth 250$

>>55200713
Includes the screen, keyboard and mouse?

Otherwise, not really but its not a bad deal.
Not good either.

>>55200662
Ya...I really don't need half the shit in windows, I'm just lazy and know how to use it, plus gamez, although I need to find my 5450 to even attempt the GPU passthrough for my main GPU

>>55200750
Nah none of that

Im not sure I would feel safe trusting shitty OEM components, but a new I5 is 200$ by itself.

>>55200839
A I5-4460 is $160 new.

>>55200839
too bad that isnt a "new" i5, it's an old one. the price of it doesnt matter because prices of old processors actually go up because they run out of quantity and no one buys them

>>55200852
Where

>>55200869
Going through pricing for a while, I cant decide if its worth 200$ more to build my own skylake system or getting a haswell system like this.

And yeah, I would build a haswell system if priced went down but everything has went up.

Nowhere else to ask this. I'm setting up an old PC in a closet upstairs with a single drive I will use to store media on locally. It can only use wireless connection unfortunately, I'm not overly worried about speeds.

What are my best options for doing this? The most simple way would obviously be to just map the drive and open it to the network. Open to using any OS but I'm actually setting this up for my mother so the end user should basically be able to drag and drop.

>>55200954
I'd probably go with Linux with Samba. Or if she's connecting with a Mac, consider Linux with netatalk.

I don't understand.

when running nmap, I often do a simple ping scan to discover what hosts are live. That's easy enough.

However, when it returns a list of about 150 live IPs, it's a pain in the ass to enter them manually to do an intense scan.

How do I get nmap to automatically scan live hosts while ignoring hosts that are down?

>proceeds to say he's not really going to touch on that in the video

So the whole point of that guy's video is that Apple is good for non "power users", but horrible for power users? That seems kinda weird if developers also use macs. I think a lot of the reason developers use macbooks on top of what you already said is that they have higher DPI screens which weren't common on PCs for a while and developers spend a lot of time looking at text, so a higher resolution screen is appreciated. I'm not a developer, that's just what I've heard, so I could be talking out my ass.

>>55199931

I have a question on recording audio.

A while ago I got a tascam dr07 to record commentary for fighting game tournaments.

my question is what recording settings should i be working with? This thing supports 24bit 96khz wav files but I can only record 1 hour on the 4gb card it came with. My understanding on 24bit vs 16bit audio is that difference is incredibly minimal, as is 48khz vs 96khz, especially if I'm uploading to youtube.

Should I record in 24bit 48khz? 16bit 96khz? Does recording in higher settings allow me more room to boost volume later?

>>55201457
If you're recording speaking only, 16/44 should be plenty if not overkill.

>>55197744
Bump

>>55201477
Thanks anon, Trying to up my audio knowledge. I appreciate it.

>>55201293
>good for non "power users", but horrible for power users
Basically yes. And believe it or not, not all devs are power users. As a dev, power user and tinkerer/hobbyist, I rather expected that other devs would generally be more familiar with how computers work, OS internals, how to fix basic problems when things go wrong, etc. But some devs do seem to be as bad as any lusers.

>higher DPI screens which weren't common on PCs for a while and developers spend a lot of time looking at text, so a higher resolution screen is appreciated
When I'm programming I frankly don't give a shit whether fonts look as smooth as print, rendered on a lower DPI screen with ClearType, or look like the sharp pixellated blobs we had in the 90s. If I can set the font, have syntax coloring, have things be clear and readable, and have enough space on the screen to work comfortably with things at a reasonable size, I'm happy. Of course when I stop programming and want to watch a movie or play a game, I do want a nice screen.

Keyboard and mouse/touchpad/trackpoint make a bigger difference for programming. Mac touchpads are generally really nice, though some of the more recent PC ones have been great too. And Mac keyboards have generally been really good, though I can barely stand the near zero key travel on the new ones. Feels almost like they're trying to replicate the tapping-on-glass iPad touch keyboard experience.

What's the best linux ditro for a desktop built in 2013?

It has an fx 4130 (ya my bad on the no intel) and a gtx 560ti.

i just want a stable and efficient machine to use for heavy browsing and occasionally playing cs:go. I also want to leave it on standby and quickly be able to pick it right up again. windows gets kinda groggy on the wakeup.

>>55201457
As >>55201477 said, 16/44k (CD quality) is fine for speech. If you record with higher settings you potentially have more quality headroom to work with in processing before it's noticeable.

Higher settings don't help much on boosting the volume later, unless you have a god tier mic. You'll run into accurately recorded noise long before you run into the limits of 16 bits.

I'd still be inclined to use higher settings and get a 8-32 GB card, just because they're so cheap. 4 GB is tiny for an SD these days.

>>55201639
it's commentary for fighting game tournaments, his main audience thinks Red Lobster is fine dining. He'll be fine.

Is there any way to use smartphone earplugs with mic as a mic in pc?

>>55201639
I'm be using the internal mics on the device in A-B form to get voice audio from me and who ever is sitting beside me.

Sometimes when I'm recording other things I notice its kind of quiet. Am I correct in guessing I can boost the db as much as i can until its clear as long as it doesnt pop or clip on the waveform spectrum?

The answer is "No". Unless you want to make a custom connector. But if you had any idea how to do that you wouldn't be asking.

youd need a headphone mic combo jack port I think. If you have two separate ports you get one or the other i guess.

24bit for volume adjustment headroom, 48Khz is plenty provided you're not doing speed changes or other manipulations

-- also note, final masters don't need to be over 16bit, once you're done editing the file (if at all), feel free to downsample it down to 16bit

I'm having trouble getting it to pick up subtitles. What do?

Any suggestions on a good media player for porn? I needs to have the following:

1) A-B Repeat
2) Good zoom/controls that allow you too zoom in close on a money shot and pan around.

KMplayer comes really close but it infested with adware and popups, does A-B repeat well with hotkeys and the zoom works via hotkeys / high zoom levels even though the performance can suffer and the increments can be finnicy when panning around.

MPC-HD has no zoom or A-B repeat at all

VLC is absolutely pathetic requiring 5000 menus to enable/disable it and it keeps an OSD element visible that never fades, it's obnoxious.

mpv is another close contender with KMPlayer having the best A-B loop but the zoom is atrocious, as far as I can tell the only zoom option is pan and scan which zooms in maybe a max of 5% and doesn't allow positioning.

Someone gave me this old Compaq Presario CQ62 for free but it has a problem with the display. I completely disassembled it and reseated the display connectors and even made sure to separate the power cord from the display cables in case that was causing some interference, but the problem still persists upon reassembly.

Webm related is what happens when the PC boots (I took a video of the Windows recovery screen but the behaviour is the same in the BIOS/boot splash). 1/2

Once reaching the Windows login screen the screen starts to rapidly flash, then once logged into Windows the screen goes black. However I can bring up the ctrl+alt+del screen and click on task manager, at which point the desktop will flash for 1/10 of a second then go back to black. Webm related.

It's obviously not an issue with Windows since the display is acting funky even in BIOS/boot splash, but why would the display irregularities differ between Windows screens (login/desktop)? That makes it seem like some sort of software issue?

I'm 99% sure you can. And I'm 100% sure you can change the language after it's installed. So worst case scenario, you have to use google translate on your phone, manually typing in each prompt to understand what you need to do.

>Sometimes when I'm recording other things I notice its kind of quiet. Am I correct in guessing I can boost the db as much as i can until its clear as long as it doesnt pop or clip on the waveform spectrum?

Ehh... The mic will pick up a lot of noise, and amplifying the signal will make the noise louder too.

I would suggest editing with a tool like Audacity. When you open its amplify tool, the default value is the max you can amplify it before it clips -- generally what you want.

Audacity also has a nice noise reducer if your noise is fairly constant, like the hiss/air sound you get from silence on a mic, etc. Select a couple seconds of audio that contains nothing but the noise and is a good example of it. Go to Effects->Noise Removal. Push the "Get Noise Profile" button to analyze the noise. Now select the whole recording, or the part you want to denoise with that profile. Effects->Noise Removal again, adjust the noise reduction slider if you want, and hit OK. Undo and turn the slider up if there's still too much noise. Undo and turn it down if it now sounds like you're talking from underwater.
