/sqt/ – Small Questions Thread

My HDD has 2 partitions, C for windows and software, and D for files like movies, music etc

If I reinstall windows on C, will I lose my files from D or will D remain untouched?

Javascript question... So here's an Object:

{code]var post = {
board: "/g/",
user: "anon",
solved: false
}[/code]

I am writing a routine to print its structure like this:

post.board
post.user
post.solved

Here it is, defined then called:

function showStructure(obj){
  var a;
  for (a in obj){
    console.log(obj +'.'+ a);
  }
}

showStructure(post);

And the output:

[object Object].board
[object Object].user
[object Object].solved

How can I get the variable name of the object rather than a handle?

Why is there no standard or standard-like thing for config files?

I expect you can reinstall your OS on drive C without touching drive D, but we never know. And a backup is always a good idea.

So I bought an SSD, and Windows 10 would not detect it, even though BIOs did.

I even went ahead and installed Windows 10 on that SSD, but still my original drive would not detect it. It isn't in Device Manager, isn't in Disk Management. The SSD is obviously not faulty so..

What gives? Even when I boot from my SSD, it would not recognize my first hard drive.

>>55438090

I'm going to start a small ISP, does anyone have resources so I can learn about how it's done?
I know the basics of how everything works but nothing really about networking.
I know I have to buy bandwidth from someone like level3, get some routing equipment and lay cable.
But after that, I have no idea.
I'm only going to start out with 30 or so customers outside the city, there is /no/ internet here. I have to pay tons of money for my local ISP to lay cables anyway, why wouldn't I do it myself and make money?
Going to eventually start a thread but I want to do more research first.
Reading the archives and googling right now. Anything will help, thanks.

>>55438090
IIRC Chrome stores its cookies in a .sqlite file. Locate it and keep a copy to overwrite the one in your next install. And if that fails, you'll have to enter them manually one-by-one, so don't forget to copy them from the account manager or whatever in Chrome.

>>55438123

I don't know, how do I check?

Also, when I first installed the SSD, it wouldn't show up at all in Windows, but it did in the bios. To verify that it was working, I went away and installed windows on it from a thumbdrive and it worked, everything boot up and stuff.

Problem is, when booting up Windows from either of the drives, none of them would recognize the other.

Are all plug-ins for all browsers essentially the same set of codes with slight variances between most browsers? Where as maybe one or two are actually compatible with others that have not released said plug-in in their stores?

Alright so if I install Windows on my new SSD, how do I make all my old programs on my previous HDD run the way it was before?

Because installing Windows on my SSD and booting up from it would mean that my SSD becomes the C drive, and my HDD becomes something else. How do I make my OS drive something else besides C?

Macrium reflect, clone disk. Then change your bios boot order to SSD first. Unplug the HDD and make sure windows boots ok, then you can format the HDD. Finally, go to system properties, windows experience index, Re-run assessment to let windows know it's on an ssd now so it can change it's settings

>>55438617
So I use the iso file to install windows
Then at what point do I use the windows loader?
Won't windows ask me for an activation code before I can run any software?

Can it be right that there is no way to adjust the camera settings of an iPad?

>>55438639
You can skip that, windows will show as non-genuine, that's when you use the loader.

>>55438594
There ain't one, it's all slim connectors directly in mobo or tapes. Get your ass to a store.

>>55438554
I think you might be confused. If you are putting windows on an ssd, there are 2 ways you can do it. #1 you clone, or copy the exact current contents of your hdd to your ssd. From the programs perspective nothing has changed. #2 you reinstall windows and programs from scratch on your ssd, and choose witch programs to install to your HDD and witch ones to install SSD

>>55438649
ok thanks

>>55438662

So I got to reinstall all my programs? Because what happened is, I installed Windows 10 on my SSD, boot up with it, and when I tried to open Steam, it couldn't open, gave me some error that it wasn't installed correctly. Steam was located in some other drive, not C at that point.

Do I have to reinstall everything on the HDD again?

What are the advantages of server hardware?
If I want to build a simple machine for media storage and possibly steam streaming, can I just go with regular desktop stuff?

You don't need loader. You can use the key on the side of your pc to reactivate windows once it's installed, so you will have your legit license

>>55438718
Not if the OS he installs isn't the same version.

>>55438677
You want to make sure you are actually using the SSD. Windows gets confused when it exists on more than one drive. Unplug the HDD, and see if the system runs ok

>>55438718
>>55438727
ok thanks guys
I'll download the iso for my current version, use my legit code, then in the future I might upgrade and use windows loader

>>55437872

JSON is used to structure data to make it easy for other systems to parse. An init file is specific to a system so the parser can be custom the system.

>>55438718
btw do I have to get the same language?
The current one is in spanish, I want the one in english because tutorials get confusing when you have to translate back and forth

>>55438770

I'm using the SSD, I set to boot using the SSD. Anyway, now the SSD is blank and reformatted, how do I go about making it as a OS drive, while making sure all of my programs back in my HDD works the same as before?

>>55438717
It has to do with the way Nvidia preps their environments. More of it is done onboard without asking the CPU for help. But for DX12 games AMD will be able to work around this a lot more.

>>55438804
If you want to upgrade you should do it now, no cracks. As soon as you have windows 7 activated, upgrade to 10, then go back to 7 if you want. That way you'll have a 10 license.

>>55438858

Is it possible to get a download link for a file inside a remote mega folder i.e. one that isn't mine?
I can't download through the website anymore for some reason and started to use megatools which is more convenient anyway.

>>55438430
Depends.
For some updates you can do a dirty flash and only wipe dalvik cache and cache and then reboot your phone normally. For major updates you'll need to do a clean wipe which would mean flashing the update and then wiping everything.
I'd recommend checking the xda page for your phone and rom.

>>55439007
>Can I clone like half of the HDD only?
Not with a free program. You can copy your extra files to an external drive and then clone to your ssd. If you have more free space than full on your HDD you can try shrinking it's partition to the minimum, making a second partition and copying the files over to that, then cloning the main partition.

Otherwise you're just going to have to reinstall everything on the ssd.

>>55439239
Man that is going to suck, I would basically have to reinstall every programme in the HDD if I were to use my SSD as the OS drive?

>>55439266
If you can't clone it, yeah. Most people are able to remove enough files to get their system drive under half a terabyte. If you really have that much stuff you care about you should get an external drive immediately and start backing things up. Anyway you can backup steam before you go any farther and restore your games from the backup when you're done. That should save a lot of time downloading.

Do routers block outgoing spoofed packets by default? I can't seem to fire off spoofed packets.

>>55439328

Man this is going to suck. There's so much time involved, I think I might just give up using the SSD as an OS drive.

But how do I remove windows from my HDD?

>>55439386
It really doesn't take that long if you're doing it right. Also pretty much everyone should own an external drive, unless you're hella dedicated to using the cloud. They only cost like $50.

If you're not planning on copying the contents of your HDD to another drive and back again, then I would just delete the folders you don't need anymore, Like boot, program files, windows, and the parts of users that don't have your files in them. Your my documents, desktop etc actually wont move, you're just going to tell your new copy of windows where to find them

Why is the 1070 base clock lower than the 1080?

>>55439365
do you re-calculate the checksum ?

>>55439712
No idea, I'm using hping3 to send spoofed packets with --rand-source. They take effect when I send to a local server, but not when I send to an external one.

i want to enable hotkeys in mpc-hc when using Word (so that i can control mpc-hc with hotkeys whilst Word is the active window)

any ideas

Dumb question probably, I know.

If I try and root the new Moto G in the same way as it's suggested to root an old one on google will I fuck my phone? Can't see anything for the G4 there specifically yet.

Should there be any problems when cloning SSD to a HDD instead of the usual HDD > SSD?

I might be taking a SSD from a desktop for my new laptop and clone the SSD to HDD in that desktop, is there any issues with that?

>>55439735
It could be your provider.
Put your local server behind your router to check if it's your router or ISP.

>>55439901
No it should be fine. Be sure and go to system properties, windows experience index, Re-run assessment to let windows know the disk type has changed. Then to double check, go to derangementer and make sure windows has scheduled C drive

>>55439921
My local server is behind my router. So it must be my ISP then I guess. I thought no ISPs did packet filtering to check for spoofed packets, as that could be expensive operations.

>>55439980
Well, it generally helps against certain DoS attacks so probably a lot of them are eager to have it filtered.

whats more detrimental to a GPU's longevity - idling at 60 degrees with the fans off, or idling at ~38 degrees with the fans at 30-50%

>>55440020
To the GPU? Idling at 60.
To the fans? Idling at 30-50%

Though as long as the fans are somewhat decent quality they will always outlast the usefulness of a GPU, so just keep it cool. Fans really don't fail.

I have a file full of objects. These objects have properties. One such property that these objects have is connections. Each connection property has its own set of properties about the connection such as size, type, etc etc. My need is taking all of these objects and put them into a file that can be read by another piece of software.

At the moment, it is a relatively crude CSV file that is responsible for transferring this information. This worked because, going back to my connector property, we would be limited to 4 connectors for each object, however; this has changed. Objects now can have a variable amount of connectors, again with their own sets of properties.

I realize in a CSV I *could* make this work, but it would be fucking ugly and messy.

My question then, what would be the best container method that would allow me to dump the information for these objects? It seems like XML or JSON would be a good option. XML getting a slight edge because I'm working in .NET and there are native tools for dealing with XML.

Any input?

Question for my liquid cooling lads. My radiator had to be screwed in on the top part of the case, with a fan positioned on top of the outside of the case (right above the radiator). Should the fan on top of my case be blowing air in to the radiator or sucking air out? I've read that you want to blow air in to the radiator, but I've also read thay fans on the ceiling of your case should always be sucking air out of the case since heat rises. Am I better off blowing air in to the radiator, or should I be sucking hot air from the case through the radiator and out of the top of the case? My temps are usually pretty good, idle around 19-24C and rises up to around 40-50 while under stress. Please help an idiot.

Use steam backup for your library, delete original games. Any non-steam games you have disks for copy the gamesave files then delete game. Do a disk cleanup on your C drive and click cleanup system files, and maybe download ccleaner.

If you want to do it on the sly, you train a shark to take your own private cable and bite it into one of the cables laying at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean. This is called a wireshark. Lots of people already do this and it's really hard to detect and the only cost is the price of a long cable and the amount to train the shark.

Just built my first computer, installed graphics card drivers but I can't play, for some reason. Game doesn't open after I start it in Steam though, it shows that I'm ingame but the game isn't open. (The game is open in the task manager though)

What did I miss? Never built a computer before so I don't know what to install from scratch.

My components are:
i5-6600k
Asus GTX 1070 Strix
Z170 Pro Gaming

>>55442033
did you plug the monitor into the GPU or into the motherboard

>>55442033
Is the game installed on c drive or d? Did you install drivers from disk, and is Geforce experience showing everything up to date?

>>55442056
I think in my mobo, where else could I plug it in? I mean, I'm posting from the computer right now, everything is working. I just can't play.

>>55442071
Game and drivers are all installed on C. I installed drivers from the website because the CD was kinda buggy and didn't install the GeForce Experience entirely.
>is Geforce experience showing everything up to date?
This is a weird thing. After I installed it, I installed the driver. After I installed it, I rebooted it and opened it again, yet it shows me that I should update again, even though I just did it and there shouldn't be a new one. So I installed it again, rebooted and it still shows me that there is a new update lol. So I just ignored it and thought it was a bug. Maybe it didn't install?

If I already have had Windows 10 on a computer with a Microsoft account and everything but I installed a different OS can I reinstall Windows 10 for free again?

>>55442120
lol
plug it into the gpu you fucking dummy

>>55442176
Sorry for being dense, but I'm new to this. I just plugged the cords into the back of my computer, which is the mobo, I assume. How do I plug it in the GPU?

Want to start a Java course from Duke University on Coursera so I can get certified without spending an arm and leg for similiar through college.
Good idea or bad idea

I have a Win7 ultimate PC that has been giving me grief for a while. It randomly locks up in one of two ways:


1) loading circle cursor for 3-4 seconds (can move it) and then the cursor freezes, clock doesn't update, can't ctrl-alt-delete. Forced to hard shut down with power switch. Hasn't done this since I dusted it 2 weeks ago.

2) I have 2 sets of mice/keyboards connected so I can have a standing / sitting desk. One of the sets stops working (no loading circle just complete lack of input on kb/mouse). Clock continues to update as well as other programs but no input, the second KB/mouse works but if I ctrl-alt-delete it sits at a black screen and never gives me a task manager. Forced to hard shut down.

No events in event viewer, ran a sfc /scannow and it has detected a few corrupt files but cannot repair them. I use a USB windows install and not sure how to point the SFC to use that as the clean files?

sfcdetails.txt log:
http://pastebin.com/VADLp4Bi


I am completely lost. Next thing I am going to try is to use sfc and somehow point it to use the usb key Win7 installer as the clean back up. Would I do this by doing the following?

sfc /offbootdir=h:/

h:/ being the USB key?

There is no windows folder on the USB key only:
setup.exe
bootmgr.efi
bootmgr
autorun.inf
upgrade
support
sources
efi
daz
boot

same way you do as the mobo

First time PC builder here, about to start ordering parts so I'm looking for last minute suggestions:

Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Gigabyte GA-B85M-DS3H-A Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
DIYPC Shadow-H01-W ATX Mid Tower Case
Rosewill 500W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply

For my video card, I'm waiting to see if AMD can unfuck the 480, but if not I'm open to suggestions in the $200-$250 range.
All my external parts I'mrecycling from older computers for now, so their price is negligible.

maybe you need to reinstall/delete some drivers

What software on Windows can read .epub files?

>>55442772
sumatra.
it should be your default pdf reader already anyway.

>>55442772
SumatraPDF, Calibre

SumatraPDF is the best PDF/epub/other file reader I've ever used, because it does not contain bloat or a laggy UI. Very fast.

Calibre is bloaty, but it is a good book manager.

Use Sumatra if you want to just read it, use Calibre if you are managing a digital library or need to convert books to files readable by e-ink devices.

It appears that the install completes just fine, but anything that requires it (really just talking about emulators here because that's what I'm trying to accomplish - Nestopia and PCSX2 are the main offenders atm) will still give me the same errors that it's not installed or not valid. I'm genuinely at a loss here, and no amount of googling helps. Everywhere I turn just directs me to the Microsoft download page of the June 2010 update for DirectX.

Did anyone else have any problems when building a PC for the first time?

I just realized just how dumb I really am.

Didn't use motherboard standoffs when putting mobo in first time, and screwed it on real tight.

Realized my mistake, took it off. 1 standoff missing. Try to do it without them, but Im missing the standoff fastening tool so I can't couldn't properly insert the standoffs and my mobo screw got stuck to a loose standoff screw and now I can't remove it.

GPU got stuck in the slot. Due to trying to put the GPU in and screwing it in while the standoffs weren't present, I think i broke something and it won't come out like before.

Fuck, I just feel like killing myself, I am so useless. Just gonna drop everything I bought off at a PC service and hope they can salvage this. I should quit this place, no idea what an idiot like me is even doing here.

Anyway, thanks for reading my blog.

Hello, I have a Asus Laptop with Windows 7/Fedora 23 that shuts down with no warning when the battery reaches about 42%.

I have this laptop for around 4 years, and about a year and a half ago the battery that came with it started to have problems like unexpectedly shutting off when on battery power and warning that the battery should be replaced(on Windows 7). In the mean time I installed Fedora 23 and although I have dual boot I rarely use the Windows partition now. The problems with the battery continued and I decided to buy this new battery, I have it since March, and initially on Fedora when on battery power it continued to shut down but I changed the script for the battery management and it functioned normally. So from March to about beginning of June the computer functioned normal in both OS, when the battery reached a minimum the laptop just hibernated. But the problems began again around 2 weeks ago and now on both OS when the battery reaches 42% the computer just shuts off with no warning, even more recently it has turned off at 50% and even 60%. The only difference I noticed was that on Fedora the battery drained a little slower, but it just lasts me max ~40 min

Sorry for the long post, if you need anymore information just ask me and thank you !

This is assuming remotely. He will have no physical access to my laptop or router.

assuming you have an rx480 you need to find a bios from the 8gb model. if you don't have an rx480 then go to downloadmoreram .com

hope this helps friend.

Suggest me an app for messaging/calling that has privacy has focus and it's not very intrusive (for example Signal has a LOT of permissions that doesn't even need). I tried LibreSignal but it doesn't have the calling option.
Also bonus for cross-platform and integrated sharing on other apps
Thank you

How the fuck do you make a type safe generic array in java? Why cant java make a generic array normally, c++ can do it

Is there a downthemall alternative for iOS?

If I download cracked software do I have to be careful with blocking internet connections or is no company actively searching for people pirating their stuff?

I use W10 on a Ideapad 300 and want to reduce as much telemetry/background internet usage/unnecessary resource usage as I can.

I have blocked all inbound/outbound traffic with my firewall. I played with the settings to take away app permissions. Moreover, I removed as much bloatware that came pre-installed as I could to improve performance.

Memes aside, what can a tech illiterate person do to streamline a machine and have some privacy without sacrificing functionality? References to reputable sites is fine if you don't want to spoonfeed.

Ok, stupid question inbound. My mobo is rip, something to do with PCI express slot as I'm not getting any signal from my GPU despite everything turning on.

I use an asrock extreme 970, but when I replace my mobo, do I have to use that mobo specifically? If I change mobos can I change something in bios before startup, reinstall all my drivers, and will everything work? Using win 7 if that makes any difference.

I'm building a gaming computer and my motherboard refuses to turn on inside case.
It's a Asus Maximus 8 Alpha, the PSU is an EVGA 650, and the case is the storm stryker.
My question is, what are common shorts that'll make it not go into post?

I have four 1 TB WD Black HDDs set up as a RAID 10 array, mounted as a data drive.
I installed W8.1 OS on my Samsung EVO 500GB SSD.
I plan to store my data exclusively on the data drive, leaving my OS free for whatever.

>Question:
If the SSD my OS is installed on dies, will I lose all the data stored in my data RAID? If not, how do I go about recovering said data?

also

Should I run games on the SSD or the data drive?

my pendrive turned into a local disk all of a sudden. How do I turn it back to removable disk?

What's a good very cheap laptop for uni work? I already have a gaming pc so I can't really see myself using it other than for uni. I'm a business student so I doubt power is much needed. How are chromebooks on that regard? better yet would this be a good pick or is there something im overlooking here?

theoretically any motherboard with the 970 chipset will work immediately without formatting. in practice even a 990 might work or on rare occasions even another 970 might not work without a format but this is very rare. it's kind of a gamble.
for example my upgrade from p43 (socket 775) to b85 (socket 1150) didn't work but another upgrade from p35 (775) to h81 (1150) worked.

>>55447745
as long as you don't fuck up the raid in the bios the data can be recovered. say the ssd dies. you put in a new ssd , install windows and you are good to go. the bios sets up the 4 drives to look like they are 1 and windows sees exactly that in the file manager.

as for the games , storing them in the ssd makes a small difference in load times (depends on the game) and some difference on file streaming (see far cry 4 texture streaming).

something I'm torrenting is constantly having a "writetodisk" error
difference from everything else in the guides I've seen is I still download it if I just hit start(though it gives me an error after a while, where I have to manually start it again, but it doesn't lose progress), unlike how they can't download it to begin with, and I've changed the directory of where downloads go and nothing has happened
I need some help

I am using Iridium browser and it wont play Netflix or video from twitter but it will play video form youtube. How do I fix this?

>>55448240
Isnt i7 better?

>>55448277
See if they are using flash to play videos, youtube is html5.

>>55448280
Not for gaming

>>55448240
pretty much this.

>>55448280
i7 is better but with that motherboard (unable to do dual gpu) and a locked cpu you don't really have much room for upgrades (2nd gpu or overclocking) so it makes sense to save some shekels on an i5. it is unlikely that you would ever need the full power of an i7.

>>55448320
>>55448312
Great.
But which i5?

>>55448379
i5-6600.

Don't cuck yourself with the i5-6500. People will suggest that because they think it's the highest non-OC option. They think there is only a i5-6600k but there is a standard version too.
To put things into perspective, the i5-6500 has slightly LESS single-core performance than the i3. On the other hand, the i5-6600 has slightly MORE single-core performance than the i3.

>>55448379
6600 is the highest non k i5 there is right now. that's the one you are looking for. the 6500 is also an option but only if you are desperate to save some shekels.

Moving into accommodation in September for University. I'm looking to bring my router and raspberry pi with me to provide my own wireless access to the internet and media sub network. Will this work?

>>55448493
Most schools forbid personal personal routers.

>>55448511
Not that anon, but my school has had history with cracking down on torrents, but I would still like to download my chinese cartoons.

>>55448511
Hmm, interesting. I think I might still try to get away with it since the accommodation I'm moving into seems pretty lax.

>not using deluge

what's the most powerful GPU I can get for literally 50 bucks? 60 maybe, but not another penny.

Has to be new.

>>55448594
I could also use deluge but I like the ease of just being able to access it through my browser bookmark instead of having to launch deluge and download torrents to my computer in order to start it on my remote server...

Deluge has a very nice webui...
Everything will be done on your seedbox, you just tell it what to download(you can setup cookoies for your private trackers)

>>55448683
Oh, I thought you were talking about the client. Yeah, I do like the deluge webUI but I don't know a way around the password prompt at the beginning. For some reason, my version doesn't allow login info in the URL like my rTorrent does. Also does Deluge have a integrated tracker search aggregator like rTorrent?

>>55448770
I think you mean rutorrent

>>55448848
>rutorrent
that's it. for some reason I thought they were synonymous.

1) I installed a Firefox style that is so minimal it doesn't have an address bar. What (as I assume) keyboard wizardry should I be using instead?
2) I installed the Awesome window manager, but when I select it on my Linux Mint login screen I just get a black screen with my cursor. How do I fix it?

If I have a motherboard that is unoverclockable, can I use Wattman if I get an RX 480?

Lately certain drives are having abyssmal
transfer rates(2MB/s).And indexing the drive, via file picker or file manager, often times out, or hangs and forcing the program is the only option.

There are no messages in any logs, smart data is not showing anything wrong.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab GINGERBREAD 2.3.4
I tried to update the firmware and it gave me a connection error four times (my internet was fine each time though).

Does this mean there's just no update for it?

you fucked up your partitions

Where the fuck can i find a Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB Untouched ISO? I've looked all over torrent sites. The best thing i found was on MDL, "Phil's "X" Files", But The ISO has 1 seeder, which i assume is his "jukebox" and it keeps going down for some damn reason. I don't want any of the preactivated bullshit, i just want a clean Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB ISO.

And yes, I'm aware that windows is a botnet. All my important stuff is in an encrypted LUKS partition. I only need this for some basic bullshit that refuses to run under wine.
