I have an old Dell Latitude running a 32-bit linux, and I want to use it's hard drive in my Asus laptop that is 64-bit. When I put the Latitude hard drive in my new laptop, I don't even see the Asus splash screen. I know the hard drive works, and I wouldn't expect the 32-bit OS to load, but I would at least expect to see the splash screen and be able to go into my BIOS/boot from USB.

Do I need to wipe the hard drive before I can use it? Or does Dell have some strange DRM that will not allow me to reuse this hard drive?

In bash? Look at the environment variables $1, $2, $3, etc. Those will contain the various arguments, or nothing if there wasn't an argument.

>>55396241
Neither. I suspect a power issue, or you have a connection not making full contact someplace, notably the drive data and power connectors.

And yeah, I would fully expect it to boot the 32 bit OS, though it might come up missing some drivers.

Alright, /sqt/.

I like to download imagedumps from /c/, and what I do to download them is open all images in the thread, save it as a .html page and then choose what I want to keep and what I want to delete from the folder generated along with the .html page. The thing is, this isn't as much effective as it should be, because I still have to delete the thumbnails.

Is there a script that would download all the files in a thread?

Ello bros.

I haven't had an issue since I put my PC together (surprising because I beat the shit out of my PC, dont have internet so I lug it around to do dev coops with friends and people I meet in college) but last week I bumped the power cord and lost power.

It would not boot afterwards so I swapped in my server PSU and got it to boot. My Windows 10 partition was boot looping but booted after a startup recovery. Every one of my GNU/Linux distros booted normally. Upon startup in my Win10 drive I noticed that certain characters were shifted and figured my SSD was going bad. Ran checks and the disk came up clean but got corrupted again after about 10 minutes.

Also the USB periphs were very spotty in terms of power, off and on with dimming LEDs.

I put my PSU tester to it and the PSU is fine. I am pretty sure I can narrow it down to the mobo at this point but I think I have run out of ways to definitively find the issue.

Tl;dr PSU is fine, SSD checks out fine, but USB and SSD data are spotty. Most likely a mobo issue but just want some input.

It has been a few years since I have had to troubleshoot a thing so I am rusty and hate going through Toms Hardware bullshit.

My connection to 4chan keeps cutting in and out.
Any other website works perfectly fine, but my connection to just 4chan will disconnect for like half a minute every 5 to 10 minutes or so

Anyone have any idea what's going on?
>>
>>55397647
Deep breaths, calm the fuck down man.

Are you trying to use a wired or wireless controller? I think the wireless ones required a proprietary wireless base unit since they don't use any standard protocol. The USB port on them is just for charging. The wired ones are the sort that just work -- you plug them in and Windows says oh it's a gamepad and lets you use it.
>>
>>55397753
>>55397710
The only solution seems to be reinstalling winblows 7 and don't update at all.

>>55397776
I'm trying to get a wireless one to work. Before I made the terrible and grievous mistake of updating windows, I could plug in a Xbone controller with a USB and it would just werk and install the drivers no problem.

Now nothing works, not even a official wireless adapter. It just absolutely refuses to download the drivers.
>>
>>55397860
Uninstall some updates maybe. Try to narrow it down to one that makes it not work.
>>
>>55397923
I uninstalled all the updates yesterday and tried, nothing works. There was like 3 updates I couldn't uninstall though(wouldn't let me select them.)
>>
>>55397955
Download the driver manually perhaps, and install it through "update driver" in device manager.

Also try another USB port so Windows treats it as a new device.

Recently updated my Chinaphone (Huawei P8) to stock/official 6.0
And to my dismay the USB mass storage mode is apparently gone ;_; (no longer an option in the drop down)
Means I'm stuck with the stupid "media" mode which lists directories slowly as fuck, can't browse through pictures from the PC with IrfanView because when I "open" a file, it is first copied to some temp folder, then half of the thumbnails aren't showing in explorer, can't perform WinDirStat on it any more etc etc
Anyway to re-enable it in some hidden settings or is it only possible to get direct SD card access back with custom ROM?
Because physically removing the SD every time is a major pain in the ass

I'm using c++.

I have an "item" class that just has some basics setters and getters for a couple variables. I have a "Character" object that has some simple attributes. I want to make my character object able to have an array of items as opposed to just one.

Character::Character(std::string Name, int Age, int a, int b, int c, int d, int e, int f, int g,int h, Item CharItem)
:CharItem(CharItem)
{
SetName(Name);
SetAge(Age);
SetAttributes(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h);

The power you use depends on what processor and what peripherals you have, what you do on them, and how often you do it.

You only use the watts that you pull, you dont sit and eat 450w all the time.

>have haswell i5, 2 monitors, and a switch running from UPS backup
Its pulling ~80 watts from the wall right now with light browsing.

When I play a game ive seen it push into the 300s.

If I set it to do something CPU or GPu intensive all night, its gonna eat wattage. If it idles its gonna sip. If you turn it off every night, it will add up in saved wattage.
>>
>>55399778
Also I have a Bronze power supply.
If I bought a more efficient power supply like a gold or platinum, those wattage numbers would be slightly lower because the PSU is more efficient and wastes less power

Put the rss link you need to use where 'rss.feed' is at, so in your case wired.com

So for wired.com's TOP STORIES feed use

2 questions:
What do I have to look for in the w7 event viewer to see if power was switched to battery (cut) on a laptop?

Second. Some electronics may have fried in my house. I was playing on my old xenon 360 when out of nowhere it turned off and took the tv with it, a buzzing noise could be heard with the 3 red lights flashing. Absolutely no burning smell though. I unplugged everything and waited 30 seconds. Replugged and both were working fine. Anyone had similar experiences? Why the fug would that happen?

>>
>>55401409
Do you mean '/' backup, as in root basedir. Or do you mean backup/copy?
>>
>>55401441
If you install some backup or drive mirroring software on the source computer that obviously leaves a trace of someone making a backup

If you pull the drive, mount in read only mode and dd it to another drive then there is no way of leaving a trace.
>>
>>55401444

I need some files from said hard drive. As I dont exactly know where those files are exactly I figured it would be quicker to just back everything up, save it somewhere and then deal with that later.

As far as I know, theres a utility in windows that simply makes a backup of the entire HDD. So I was planning to do that.

However, I am concerned with it leaving traces that such backup was done.

I have never sold anything on ebay before. I have this gaming laptop from 2013 that is in near perfect condition, and sites like newegg are selling it for 650ish

They take a rather large cut, plus what paypal takes. You'd be better off on craigslist but if that's not your style, at 475 you'll end up with about $415 in hand.

3.There is some manual or auto option, click manual
4. This is the part i dont quite remember. I believe there is a choose from a list option. Scroll down the list choose the xbox peripheral and then choose wireless controller(?)

Uhh... Yes and No? Depends mate.
Best cooler is NH D15
Good cooler is the Noctua U14S.
Cheaper is Deepcool Lucifer v2
Minimum worth is hyper 212 evo

Good quiet 120 cpu fan is noiseblocker b12-whatever. The higher - whatever is higher RPM, which means higher performance and noise. id reccomend the b12-2 or 3 for quiet.

Dont replace noctua fans on coolers though. Not worth mate.

i have an es1-511-c35L acer laptop that has recently undergone some water damage. i believe the user turned it on while there was still water in it the next day and now it repeats the same cycle. when i turn it on, the blue light and fan remain on for 5 seconds, then both shut off for a few seconds, and then they both turn back on. screen is black, and sometimes will flash a very slightly lighter shade of black for a second. the computer never turns on.

could the mobo have fried? or the battery? anyone know of a good place for a canadian to order replacement laptop parts?

also read somewhere to remove the battery to see if the computer will still stay on, but i cant find out how to remove the battery. ill post a picture of the battery in the next picture

You just need to find a charger with matching voltage, plug size, and equal or greater current (amps). Electric devices pull current, it doesn't get pushed to them, so more amps doesn't matter.

Is there any 4k monitors out there 23-29", IPS, under 450$? I'd love to get my hands on one.

I don't ever want to go back to TN panels but is 4K any difference? I have an IPS and I never want to leave the comfy color accuracy it provides. I guess IPS backlight bleeding is super common these days but my Acer panel has none of these issues. How can companies justify high quality panels for producers with massive light spots all around the screen?

Could someone tell me how fucked my computer is?

-Randomly shut off when playing video games
-When power plugged back in, the computer lights up but no fans turn on and nothing shows up on my monitor
-Also there was a fire inside my case at one point during this process
-The motherboard gives me Q-code 00 which I think is supposed to mean corrupted BIOS but at this point I'm pretty sure I'm just fucked
>>
>>55406741
All that tells you is that the bios isn't finding an os to load. Happens a lot when something in the windows boot loader is messed up. Try making a recovery disk with macrium reflect or make a linux live cd and see if they detect your old windows partitions. Or for a start you can see if the HDD is showing up in your bios.

>>55407440
I can't even see the bios right now, though, I've tried hooking up my monitor to the video card and the motherboard and neither show up with anything.

The fans don't seem to start, and I think the computer turns itself off, because the start button on my motherboard lights up with the Q-code.

I mean the fire inside my case tells me I should probably just start considering making a new PC.

This may so incredibly stupid and selfish, but Newegg's warranty for my GPU says it's a lifetime limited warranty.

Does that mean they'll replace my dying GPU with the same model but working a working version of it even if it's 7 years old and overclocked, or am I not covered?

They don't really explain what 'limited warranty' is on their info page. And I'm afraid to ask just in case they laugh at me or scold me.

You should get a laptop that excels at the other things you need a laptop for and then only play games it can run optimally. Build a nice life for yourself instead of feeding an addiction. There's enough low requirement games to entertain you indefinitely. You can build a desktop later if you want. A $155 desktop GPU beats the very best laptop GPU.

Please rate!!!

Is there any way to improve this? I still need to add a 1070...

Planning on making this PC last for 10 years if possible without making a single upgrade/replacement during that time.

I want to be able to max out games or at least play on high for the next 3 or 4 years, I don't mind falling off after that to lower settings, I'm going to push this system all the way until DirectX 13 or 14 becomes the standard, and even then I'll wait it out for another year or two.

I NEED the ram to last, I do lots of hi-res art stuff, so no compromises on that part unless there's cheaper ram or you can convince Photoshop to use less of it.

Oh. The case comes with a 140mm one. I might add more later today but most people don't add exhaust fans because the case is so small that the cpu fan already blows the air out.
