How secure is RDP compared to something like key auth SSH+VNC for remoting over the internet? I'm not super familiar with windows remote desktop stuff.

Is there anything else you need to do when converting your full sized rig to mATX other than getting a new case and motherboard? I'll probably upgrade my GPU to the RX480 too.

Does viper4android have any impact on the audio quality if you only only install the audio driver and enable it?

>>55375086
Publicly listed torrents should be relegated to cam rips or shitty anime/old movies no one cares about.
New releases should be avoided but private trackers is where you should obtain that garbage.

How do i get into phone to cloud storage. It is android.

I got my last phone robbed, and learned my lesson, want to keep EVERYTHING synced on the internet.

I want to get a steam link for casual games since they are dirt cheap. But I have a toaster CPU. Will that work? Older games run fine.

Is it possible to encode the video from the host PC using the graphics card instead of the CPU? According to valve's FAQ, you want the client PC (in my case just steam link) to have a GPU capable of x264 decoding, but then says you should have a quad-core CPU on the host machine. Which implies the answer is no, but I'm still not sure.

>>55375128
honestly probably makes audio worse.

>>55375193
Have you logged in in your new phone yet?

It should've asked you whether you want to sync or not when you were logging in; if not, try enabling sync in the account settings.

>>55375193
What do you mean by everything? Photos can be synched automatically to stuff like Dropbox, everything else is best to sync via backups

What should I be aware of before I run games through WINE?

I would like to play older games like King of Dragon's pass and Jagged Alliance.

Most recent game is Darkest Dungeon and Valkyrie chronicles.

>>55375213
You may be right.

I mean, the company that made the phone has profit on stake, if they released a bad product they'd lose a lot.

Meanwhile, the viper devs don't really have anything on stake, so they wouldn't really be in trouble if they released a bad product.

i want to set up a linux vm on a windows host with shared storage. should i use vmware or virtualbox? or something else?

any quick guides would also be appreciated.

i'm already running linux on my laptop, but i thought compiling would be faster on my desktop, even inside a vm

>>55375274
check out wine-staging if you aren't already using it
if you're using free drivers, you might be able to take advantage of gallium nine (native direct3d9), which can greatly improve performance in d3d9 games
if not, or if gallium nine doesn't work for a particular game, also check out CSMT (if you have a multicore cpu)
i highly recommend installing games into their own wine prefix, playonlinux can make handling multiple prefixes very easy

>>55375417

free graphics drivers, specifically
like nouveau or radeonsi

Wanna get a 2-bay NAS and dump two 2GB WD reds in it and stream movies over to my TV through the router.
This is also for data backup.
Router is a netgear 3800 wnd.

Is there a better idea or should I go for it?
Also how fast should the processor be of the NAS?

>>55375467
>Also how fast should the processor be of the NAS?
depends;
- will it be doing anything besides serving files?
- are you using software raid with parity, or filesystem features like checksumming or compression?
- you mention video streaming, will that include real time transcoding?

>>55375510
>will it be doing anything besides serving files?
No
>are you using software raid with parity, or filesystem features like checksumming or compression?
I don't know what you mean but I was planning to raid 1 them. I wasn't really planning anything but dragging and dropping them, no compression.
>you mention video streaming, will that include real time transcoding?
Im not even 100% this works but if the TV doesn't support a codec I assume the NAS should have enough power to transcode it in realtime, or no?

>>55375635
>I was planning to raid 1 them
that's fine, it's parity calculation in raid5/6 that uses some cpu time
note that raid1 won't protect you from silent corruption without a checksumming filesystem (as there's no way to automatically determine which mirror contains the 'correct' data without checksums)
>I assume the NAS should have enough power to transcode it in realtime
transcoding video is a relatively cpu-intensive task, exactly what you need depends on the kind of quality you want to achieve
an inexpensive desktop x86 cpu can do it, but a low power arm chip might not

Is there something that generates a header file from a .c/.cpp source file?
I'm using Visual Studio and there doesn't seem to be any feature on it that does it.

Is it something that is even possible? I googled a bit and there didn't seem info on it, so maybe it's a problem more complex than I think it is. It looks simple though, just scan the .c file for the function declarations and chuck them into the header.

Any web devs here?

Here is my .htaccess file:

php_value upload_max_filesize 5M
php_value post_max_size 10G
php_flag max_input_time -1

I wrote an image uploader on my phone to upload all pictures to the server with the .htaccess file.

But after around ~90 Pictures i get the
"413 request entity too large" error.

But i set the post size to 10G, is there a hidden limit? Any other options to prevent this?

The error needs around ~24 hours to go away so that i can upload again. Thats pretty annoying.

RDP is fairly secure...transmission takes place over SSL with authentication available via key auth/smart card. Tunnelling VNC over SSH with key auth is pretty much the same thing.

>>55375342
Virtualbox. It gives you more options (building as OVF and VHD) if you ever want to migrate your VM to something else (vmware or Hyper-V). If you stand up in vmware, you're stuck with OVF/A and some kloogy conversion if you want to move it to Hyper-V.

What is the best programming language for an almost complete beginner?

From what I've researched it's either VB or Python, if I end up learning with Python what programs do I need to compile and write?

>>55376172

>What is the best programming language for an almost complete beginner?

I started with VB, was very helpful and there were many guides about it on YT!
It's pretty easy to learn java and c# if you can VB.

I dont know about Python, never learned it.
But there are also many tutorials which will show you how to compile and write etc.

Anybody have any idea when the 4GB version of the RX480 will be available in the Netherlands? It's bullshit enough that they expect us to pay 300 dollars for the "200 dollar card" that should've released last Thursday, but to not even offer the cheaper version is ridiculous.

thank you, i was just going to post again. i went with virtualbox. it took me longer than it should have, but now i have ubuntu installed and shared folders working, everything's great. though nautilus seems to crash a lot when i make changes to the shared folders from the host while it's open in nautilus. minor issue.

it is definitely not as snappy as mint on my laptop, i'll see how the compiling times are once i have the time. i know it's just a vm, but i expected a bit more.

>>55376061
i'd get a 1080 at this point.

i have a 980ti and i get ~90-110 fps in modern games. i usually lower the settings to high for the full 144fps, since i have a 1440p 144hz monitor. it's 16:9, 21:9 obviously takes more processing power.

Nope, modern x86 processors have a RISC core with a CISC interpreter. This is probably as energy efficient and compatible as processors can get.

Might ditch x86 for another cpu architecture in a a few hundred years. Maybe.

recently I installed a Asrock Pro4 Z77 and I put all my old components back
but I seem to be having a problem with my 7870 HD it isn't recognized by the device manager
I got an Unknown Device in it and I can't install my drivers, no idea what to do about it.

could someone please explain to me why anyone would spend 400 plus AUD on a new processor and mobo when clock speeds have barely increased. for instance the i5 2500k runs at 3.2ghz and the i5 6500 runs at the same speed, so what's the difference?

I'm running Windows 7. I turned off Windows updates a while back but suddenly I am being informed that I must restart and install some new important update. It is the normal countdown-to-restart window but there is no countdown and it stays up forever unless I postpone it. Trouble is, it just comes back and I can't even close the window outside of postponing it.

Is this the forced Windows 10 update? Should I just mess with my settings some more to remove it?

I'm a little worried based on what I've heard that if I try anything stupid it may force me to update, so I don't want to go into this blind.

I'm going to leave my computer in for repairs for what's 99.9% certainty to be a non-hard drive related issue. Should I take out my HDD so some bored computer tech doesnt find my loli folder and potentially destroy my life? 2D has dubious legality in my country.

>>55381348
Other factors such as ipc play a role, basically clock speed isn't everything.
That said, the gains they've been making lately have been pretty poor in the cpu department when you see the leaps we've made in gpu progress. I think it's safe to say we can thank intel for not having a real competitor in the market for this.

>>55381514

How accurate is this tier list?
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Would you buy a tier one psu for a mid tier build like a i5 and a rx 480/r9 390/970?

A tier two or three is fine, r-right?

>>55384903
buy the best you can, if you can spend a bit more on a tier one PSU do so.
It will give you space to upgrade in the future. Say in 2 years you want a new GPU that happens to draw just a bit more maybe, if you went cheap now suddenly you want that new GPU but you will need a 100 dollar PSU along with it, and also, it's just safer for your investment. Cheaper the PSU the more likely it'll just fry the fuck out of your PC.

>>55384903
EVGAs are good, there's a 10 year warranty you can sign up for, they're modular and there's a neat little 'eco' switch on the back that keeps the fan from spinning up unless it's actually hot.

>>55384948
From what I see the 500w to 700w are almost the same price, but the price from tiers are pretty different.

Seasonic Silent s12II 650w is 1/3 cheaper than a Corsair RMi 650w. The seasonic is a tier below the corsair.

Just trust me and shell out a little bit more. PSU is the last thing to cheap out on when it comes to making your build.

But I'm looking at a new AIO because the Glacer pump started making noises within 6 months and it was disappointing.

All of the reviews im seeing are showing coolers that are "excellent" with idles around 44C. Notably tweaktest and benchmarkreviews.

How is 44C an acceptable idle? Is this during a stress test that they have forgotten to mention?

I'm assuming my CPU is the upgrade I want, but I also hear good things about the 480. If I upgrade my CPU, whats a good solid CPU to upgrade to? I assume it'd be an i5, but I also dont want to break the bank too much, and if I do go i5 I'd end up having to get a somewhat smaller tier motherboard.

>>55387097
That CPU has gotta go anon.

>>55386976
You want to make sure the phone you're using is comparable with the bands telus uses, but otherwise yes.

>>55386994
If you're using windows 8 or 10 pro you can just use hyper-v and just skip 3rd party apps altogether

>>55387103
I figured. It's served me well. Any recommendations that you'd give? I know of logical increments and stuff, but I want a few other opinions

>>55376920
I use Waterfox. It's similar to Firefox but faster.

Thinking of upgrading to a 970. Should I upgrade my i5 4570 too? Maybe just sell this PC and build a new one? All it's parts are 3-4+ years old. I use it for lots of video editing, rendering and video gaems.

Intel i5-4570 X4 3.2GHz
AMD 7950 3GB

>>55387097
Actually you *might* be able to get away with that CPU. It's right on the borderline. I would update your graphics card first, and see if you're maxing out the processor during games. Nvidia's architecture happens to be lighter on the processor so you might have more luck if you go "green". I'd also check that your power supply has enough wattage

>>55387140
Going to take a look at that, thank you.

>>55387216
No. PCs don't age like they used to. That processors going to be ideal for a few more years. Get a new gen of graphics card unless you find a 970 for like $150

>>55385457
bump

>>55387255
Gotcha, thanks.

A new gen like a 1070? I'd lose to but it's double the price and hard to find. I only wanna run games 1080p 60fps and use shadowplay.

Would I be able to run Rust on the lowest setting?

I've decided to learn C as my first language. Any good sources you guys recommend? How about compilers? Should I use an IDE or something like notepad? Any advice is recommended

>>55387296
It's rumored that Nvidia is going to announce the 1060 this week. Could be what your looking for. Also I think this powergate thing with the 480 is being blown way out of proportion, and it will probably end up being sorted out with firmware updates or the second generation of the card.

>>55387229
You think? I was debating waiting for the 1060 and see whats up.

My PSU is 650W so I am 100% sure I'll be able to run whatever I stick in it without having to worry about power consumption.

as for CPU usage, I know I'm hitting 70-80% regularly, but even OC'd It's not running that hot which is great (thanks HyperT4)

If I were to upgrade CPU instead of GPU, would I have better luck getting a used CPU/mobo from last gen or so or something?

how do i make files inaccessible to other accounts? Like whole drives anyway. I got relatives coming over and I don't want them going through my folders when i set up their accounts

>>55387243
>>55387008
Apparently, those two softwares are only available on 64-bit versions. My Windows is 32-bit. Guess I'll just have to stick with VirtualBox.,

>>55387390
Use Windows permissions within properties to set yourself as the owner

>>55387408
Oh great, which one do i do though? The options are
Authenticated Users
System
Administrators (Admin-PC/Administrators)
Users (Admin-PC/Users)

I ask because users also has admin PC and I don't want to accidentally lock myself out.

thanks btw

I have a mouse with those little forward/back buttons on the side. Is there a way I can re-jigger the priority of the mouse buttons so that I can press those while holding down left click and have it register?

>>55387400
What processor do you have? It doesn't sound like you're going to have a lot of power to devote to the vm

>>55387387
I don't know how much money you'll save but you can definitely run a 4th or 5th gen i5 and get great results in gaming. Even 3rd gen in a pinch. Just think of each generation as being an unspoken 0.2 Ghz faster than the last when you're trying to compare value.

>>55387438
None of the above. Select the files in Explorer, right click, properties, Security tab.

>>55387509
that's exactly where I am and that's where those things I wrote are though..

what do I do after I'm in the security tab?

>>55387446
AMD Athlon II X2 255 3.1 GHz, but I need a VM to emulate a Linux program. I'm not planning to do anything heavy.

>>55385155
depends on what you use them for.
new amd ones are out in six months brah i'd wait lad.

>>55387502
Awesome, that sounds great. Been scouring the local CL but there's nothing. You'd think in Houston that there'd be more used CPU/mobo's about huh?

>>55387522
What's in it right now? Files in my account only seem to have me, SYSTEM, and Administrators listed there. That means non-admin users can't access the files.

If Users or Everyone are listed, uncheck all the permission boxes for them. Do NOT check the deny boxes unless you're doing it for a specific user you want to deny. Deny overrides allow, and you're also a member of Users and Everyone, so it would deny you as well.

>>55387541
>Deny overrides allow, and you're also a member of Users and Everyone, so it would deny you as well.
that's exactly what I was afraid of so I didn't test it. phew. But I want to deny the new account I created but it doesn't show up here it's just users which is Users (Admin-PC/Users)

what do I do to make sure he can't get in but I can?

>>55387438
If the other user accounts are also administrator accounts, there's no way to absolutely lock them out. But they would have to know enough about security settings to manually take permissions, so you're probably alright. What you want to do is go to advanced> change permissions> Uncheck include inheritable and check replace all. Then you should be able to remove permissions from all groups and user accounts except your own

>>55387570
thanks man

>>55387555
You can click Add and type in their account name, then check Deny on everything. Since you're not them, it won't deny you.

Do test by going into the new account and seeing what you have access to.

Note that if you screw up and deny yourself access, you can still fix it if you're an admin -- it will still let you edit the permissions to fix it.

And if it isn't obvious, you should create the temp account as a limited account, not an admin.

>>55387599
Where can I go to click add? Everything else I got covered, cheers.

What am I looking at? Context is required.

My younger brother bought a preowned HP prebuilt off some dude. Initially it was working just fine but he complained about the loud CPU fan. So I replaced it for him + reapplied the thermal paste while I was at it. Because I had to get to the other side of the MOBO to unscrew the old CPU fan I temporarily unplugged a few things, including removing the GPU.

Now the system fails to display an image after booting it. I've tried running it off the HDMI and the DVI port on the GPU and neither works. I've also tried running it off the CPU's integrated graphics and that doesn't work either. What could the issue be?

>>55387658
holy shit im fuckin blind. sorry and thank you

Is it stupid to buy a 970?

>>55387666
You click div "00", if its bg is 1-1_1.jpg, change it to 1-1_2.jpg, if it is 1-1_2.jpg, change it to 1-1_1.jpg.

>>55387696
yes

>>55387696
Right now? yes.

>>55387698
Oh. I see your bug.

You've basically said this:

if(x == 1) {
    x = 2;
}
if(x == 2) {
    x = 1;
}

Let's step through it. Let's say x is 1 going in. We see if it's 1. It is, so we set it to 2. Now we see if it's 2. It is, so we set it to 1.

The correct code would be more like

if(x == 1) {
    x = 2;
} else {
    x = 1;
}

>>55385155
Shit single core perfomance, good multicore perfomance, great APUs for low end computers.

But since everything is made with single core perfomance in mind Intel is usually better in every way.

>>55387749
Also that Intel blows AMD away on high end chips.

I'd go with AMD for a budget computer because they're pretty good on bang-for-the-buck, enable all the microcode features like AMD-V and so forth even on low-end chips, and have a half-decent integrated GPU. And I'd go with Intel for high end because AMD can't come close to the performance of an i7 or Xeon.

>>55387669
Never mind. The CPU does not have any integrated graphics (i5-3350P) which I realised after some googling. So it's likely something wrong with the GT 630 in the system i guess.

>>55387786
Well AMD doesn't currently have high end CPUs, only mid end, and they are really old.

>>55387745
I put in an else but the if is weirdly declared, when I take the statement out of it, it works, it doesn't work even if I leave just one if.

>>55387745
how do you make these boxes appear?

>>55387696

If you can find one that is cheaper than a 480 (which you can in my country) I'd say go for it. It can beat a 480 when you factor in overclocking.

in relation to the CPU hunting, I assume Biostar boards are shit? because this looks like a great deal.

People on here have told me it's a good idea to get both an SSD and HDD storage setup for my new PC build, and use the SSD for the OS while the HDD can be saved for large files I'll need to store long-term, like videos.
That sounds like a good idea to me, but I'm a completely inexperienced PC builder and I'm wondering if this is dual setup is going to cause, and what type of data I need to relegate to each drive.

Also, what would be considered the minimum capacity for each drive? From what I understand, I want at least 256GB for the SSD if I'm installing the OS onto it, and the HDD is entirely up to me?

>>55387819
...

>>55387847
You know this is stupid questions thread right? I'm asking cause I don't know how to do it.

>>55387847
>>55387854
I attempted to answer but the tag parser ate the relevant part of it.

Fucking hell, let's try that again.
[ c o d e ] ... [ / c o d e ]
So much for trying to be clever using a zero width space.

>>55387696
Yes. Wait for 3rd party and revised first party 480 cards to see if the power issues are fixed, and compare the price, while keeping in mind that the 970 begins to fail at around 3.85 gig usage due to being an under-capacity card.

>>55387860
ah alright thanks, this is some good shit

>>55387844
*if this dual setup is going to cause problems

Are there any chain stores that I can try mechanical keyboards firsthand at? I doubt Cuck Buy will have a good selection of switches.

>>55387896
And you'd be right. All the regular big box and office stores I've been to have all rubber dome.

I'm remoting into a Netgear C7000, and I followed the instructions on how to set up OpenVPN like it instructed, and I see my hostname and IP addresses in the Attached Devices menu.

The problem is whenever I go out to an IP check website, it displays my actual address instead of the one I'm connecting to. Google results aren't telling me how to fix this, only whether or not the shits working.

I'm not a computer wizard, but I've (to my knowledge) never encountered a computer virus. Yet I see computer threads on here and other sites that mention the best anti-virus software and where to get it.

What gives? Am I not going to the right porn sites? Do I need to install Limewire? Should I ditch my private tracker site and head to piratebay or kickasstorrents instead?

>>55388216
No, simply you have good common sense.

In 3 years i only have been infected 5 times.

And 3 out those 5 times were for lack of precaution from downlading shady/cracked porn.

Its really rare to get infected if you know what you are doing.

>>55388243
Ok, thanks. I just hear about "what anti-virus do you recommend?" and all I ever can think to say is "I don't. Just don't download shady things."

I go to the same porn stream sites I have been for years now and I only download shit from blackcatgames or nyaa.

>>55388216
I used to have an antivirus back in the day, but stopped using one since the one time I actually got a virus it didn't catch it and I spent about 30 minutes digging it out manually. The rest of the time it just made my PC a little slower and heckled me about debuggers and reverse engineering tools I used.

Blocking ads and javascript most places goes a long way to avoiding viruses. Common sense avoids almost all the remaining ones. Private trackers won't have infected software. Heck, even on Pirate Bay you can be fairly certain a torrent is clean if it has a bunch of comments and none say it's a virus.

I've encountered enough viruses apart from that, but just haven't gotten infected. If I know it's probably a virus but still want to see if it contains that video or wallpaper it promises, I'll download it and run it in a VM.

>>55388307
Well that is because people who ask that are inexperienced about malware and download any antivirus and go around with no care.

Like the usual person will install anything without reading it, doesnt matter where they downloaded it from.
Or will go to shady streaming websites that inject malware in their browsers (1x1 gif inject exploit, base inject browser exploit, javascript or flash exploit, etc) and weren't protected against it (Ublock Origin/uMatrix/Not using a decent browser).


>>55388358
>but stopped using one since the one time I actually got a virus it didn't catch it and I spent about 30 minutes digging it out manually.

Thank god you dont have to do this anymore.
Malwarebytes and Adwcleaner do the job just fine this days, its rare to get infected with something where you need to do something else to get rid of it.

I want to PXE boot xubuntu from my Windows machine. How can I do it real ez and quick?

>>55387844
No problems. Just be sure to install windows to the SSD. Then you move your user folders (desktop downloads my docs etc) onto the HDD by going to your user folder opening up each of their properties and changing their location one at a time. I'd also install steam and all it's games to the HDD to avoid any cross drive issues. I'd say most people can actually get away with a 120gb. The only thing that really takes up a lot of space on the system drive is programs, any you can install most of them to the HDD if you're pinched for space.

Is there a way to limit the CPU usage on Mac OS X?

I'm working on a relatively large C++ codebase atm and compiling ramps up the fan and it's very annoying and people start turning heads etc. when I work in the library.

I don't mind if it takes 10 seconds longer as long as it doesn't start a fucking helicopter every time I compile and at least 3 minutes after it finishes.

>>55388917
Clean your PC and repaste it.

>>55388917
Just use it normally and it will thermally throttle itself pretty quickly.

>>55388961
It's a fucking Macbook. I have no idea how to even open it.

>>55388970
It does, but that doesn't help with the fan. It still runs hot as fuck and the fan will ramp up. I want to keep CPU usage at 50% or so in the first place so that the fan doesn't ramp up AT ALL

So I have a stupid question (funny that). I am looking for software to perform general maintenance on my hard drives is there anything that /G/ can suggest?

>>55389052
which OS?
