I'm using bbLean on Windows 7, and I have systembarex loaded instead of the default bblean taskbar because I wanted to be able to see my systray icons. However, I can't right click on some of them, specifically MEGASync. Anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

Are aftermarket case fans worth buying?
I would like to cool my rig down some more, but I don't see how aftermarket fans would make a difference.

The only two noteworthy brands I've seen talked about are these Corsair fans and Noctua's.
Both seem pretty expensive for fans.

>>55468951
aftermarket fans are good for cooling down the actual chip
If you have bad airflow though then the reference design cards are usually better options because the blower style fan directs air away from your components.

>>55468951
Is your pc overheating?
You don't need to keep adding fans, just dust it twice a year and don't block airflow.
Parts are made to withstand heat and most will power down to avoid damage if they actually get too hot.

What do you guys do with your replaced PC parts?

>>55468986
It's not overheating, but the graphics card produces major heat in even the shortest gaymen session.
If I were to get aftermarket fans it would just be for "insurance," to prolong the life of my components without shelling out for water-cooling I suppose.

>>55468962
So these SP design fans from Corsair aren't just a gimmick then. Would they be just as useful for getting air through the HDD rack? I've got 3 on the rack and them along with the cables could potentially be negating the optimal airflow.

>>55469023
try to sell them or give them away

>>55469030
I've never personally used a reference card so I can't accurately reply, but I've heard that the only purpose of them is for improving airflow of the entire case.

So if your issue is that the card is overheating because of airflow and not just heavy load, then yes I would recommend getting reference design cards. In every other case though the aftermarket boards are superior.

Is there any good reason(s) to upgrade to Win10 from Win7?

>>55468861
As an upgrade from a 270x for FHD gaming, would the 480 or the 1060 be better? Theyre both gonna be around the same price i guess. Is the 390/x or 3.5gb meme card a better option at that price?

My random number gen in C++ doesn't work in CLion. I'm including <random> and using time as the parameter but it keeps giving me verrrry similiar number that only change by a tiny percentage.

The RNG works fine in Visual Studio though. Anyone know why this might be?

>>55469023
If it's peripherals then I keep at least a set for backup then either sell or give away the rest.
If it's a graphics card I've replaced for an upgrade, then I would only sell it.

>>55469058
wait for 1060 benchmarks
My guess is that 1060 will outperform it in dx11 and they will be tied or the 480 will have the edge in dx12.

>>55469055
It's lighter/faster, and DX12.

>>55469055
No

>>55469055
>better performance for old hardware
>DX12
>better game performance
>faster os in general
>longer support period

Just search for all of the debotnet tools and run through them.

>>55469030
It's really up to you then.
If the card actually burns out and you aren't OCing warranty should cover it but if you want to spend some money for peace of mind I guess it can't hurt.

How hot is it getting?

>>55469163
Neat pic.

Money is no object, what's the best USB AC wireless card?

I don't have any free PCI-E slots and I need an AC adapter that's reliable, has good bandwidth/throughput, excellent latency for games.

I'm using a T4UH at the moment and it randomly drops the 5GHz connection, the 2.4GHz spectrum has too much traffic where I live.

If USB AC is inherently garbage, should I DDWRT or OPENWRT a router into ethernet and use it as an access point?

My CPU temperatures was hitting like 90+ Celsius and people were freaking out when I was posting the Speccy. (which I've since deleted)

Did I fuck it up?

>>55469344
What CPU and cooler?

Might want to reinstall and reapply thermal paste.

>>55469344
Is it overclocked and if so do you have a custom cooler?
90C is pretty hot.

weechat or hexchat?

Where exactly are you supposed to hook the wire with one of these? To the wristband?
Also, does this thing alone qualify as grounding?

>>55469361
weechat can run in a detachable terminal multiplexer session accessible via ssh. If there's no chance of you doing that, and you don't want to feel like a 1337 h4x0r. Hexchat can be less cumbersome to use.

>>55468885

I'd like to get an irresponsibly powerful PC, way overkill for any purpose I might have. Do I really need a full tower case as opposed to a mid though if I'm going to roll a NH-U14S and a 1080?

>>55469565
Plug the parts into pcpartpicker.
It will tell you if there are any incompatibilities including space/size.

>>55469449
Just solder it, it's piss easy.

>>55469639
I don't have any soldering materials. I'd prefer to waste money.
What all would I need to solder it? The little stick and some wire?

>>55469661
The stick, some flux and the alloy. You can get the whole thing for 25 bucks off ebay and it will last you a while.

I'm looking to reinstall my dingpad with a new OS.
In the past I have used Fedora, openSUSE, and have installed Arch (but never really used it).

Any suggestions for an intermediate 'room to grow' OS for someone who is neither beginner or master?

>>55469766

Amaze if you want a "free" file explorer.

I use androirc which is decent.

There are to computers in my appartment, both on wifi.
When it's just me that's connected, I get 2mb/s.
When we're both connected, I get 150 kb/s.

Why do we get rougly 10-90% instead of 50-50?
How can I fix this?

>>55469841
What kind of router are you using?

>>55469869

What's the best way to keep your computer "clean" and running smoothly?

using socks5 proxy (with username/password)

>>55470143
CCleaner is a good program, pirated version for maximum features, adjust the settings correctly & enable the "add shortcut to right-click of recycle bin for 1-click cleanup + reg cleanup
I also suggest "Trend Micro Hijack"
Using the whitelist method
basically what you do is, once you have your computer & browser & other things the way you like them, you do a "scan" with the program
all the results you get, you select them all & pick whitelist
then do the scan again, make sure you get zero results
then in the event things run like shit, or you think you maye have malware or adware or a virus or anything
do the scan again, instead of seeing no results, youll see some results
check all the results & click remove
this will undo the changes which have occurred which are causing slow down, problems, & other issues
its very nice method

The audio cable for my chc silverado headphones is starting to fail, and designed the wiring for these headphones was moronic. Each ear has a stereo jack that only connects to the right channel. The default cable takes stereo and splits it into two stereos, one that maps the right channel input to right channel output, and the other maps the left channel input to right channel output. What's the easiest way to get replacement cable? I'm thinking a stereo to mono splitter, and then mono to stereo cables (the left channel outputs will go unused, but the sound ought to line up), but I'm not super familiar with audio cabling so I don't know if that will work. Help appreciated. I know I can always solder my own cables, but it'll be a minor hassle, and I won't be able to get the cables to look nice.

Apple doesn't make monitors anymore, and you never even specified a resolution or size.

Try Dell U2412M, you'll still be paying twice as much as an equivalent 1080p panel though

I have a Linksys Wag320N and it doesn't support VDSL(fiber not an option here) so I'll be using a Huawei modem the ISP will give.

The official firmware supports access point only and I need to use it on the upper floor. The signal is kind of nice on the side closer to the modem but it gets REALLY SHITTY when I go to my room.

Sometimes if Craigslist thinks a post is spammy/scammy, they'll just automatically hide it but make you think it posted successfully. Google 'craigslist ghosting' or the like and see if it's something that could be related to your issue.

By the way, why isn't complete E-GPU enclosures a standard nowadays by companies like ASUS or something? I'm pretty sure people want that much power with a laptop without lugging around a large gaming laptop. Seems like it would kill two birds with one stone.

Does anyone have any experience with the Zowie Mico, or know where to get it cheaply?

Not entirely sure how reliable monoprice is with shopping.

I was downloading some Twitch VOD [https://www.twitchvods.com/download/] and as usual, after it finishes downloading the video isn't playable for a bit, but if I wait some time and let ffmpeg do its thing, the video will be ready after some minutes (at which point the process is finished, ffmpeg closes and the video is ready).
I started another download after this one, from the same channel, and it worked perfectly as usual, so I don't think it's a problem with any of my software.

It's been many hours and the ffmpeg process is still open, and the video is still unavailable.
I can't redownload it because the video has been removed from the page, and I really need it (it was a guy producing a song in Ableton and he explained a technique I really need to learn).

Is there something I can do?

PS. I'm on Windows 7 BTW.

1. Would this fan configuration be optimal? Two 120mm fans for front intake, and two exhaust fans in the rear of the case.

2. What style of CPU cooler should I go for? I don't want a fanless radiator, but the quieter the better.

3. Of all the components, the GPU is running the most hot. It's a blower style radiator. I can mount a fan just above the GPU on the side panel, should I? Should it be intake or exhaust?

>>55475578
Supposedly it does fine for 1440p and they did a bunch of benchmarks for it. I honestly didn't expect it to work as well as I wanted, but I figured I'd give it a try since I can always return or resell it.

You probably approached it wrong, when facing a new issue start by breaking down, in simple language, how you'll tell the machine to produce the result you want (usually in a step-by-step or flowchart form)
Debugging speed comes with experience, you'll learn to recognize where you usually fault as time goes, for example the first thing I check for when debugging is making sure I've ended all my statements properly since that's usually what I forget

As a person who have been using a Samsung android phone since 2005(mesmerize/note 2/ note 3) and just jumped ship to an iPhone 6s Plus. I really don't need "all that" in a phone. Just to browse the net, make calls, and listen to music.

Some moments I really don't even see a difference between IOS and android based on how I use my phone.

I rather get something cheaper that is just as secure, get a professional digital camera for actual photography, and an android tablet to run emulators on. That would be my basic EDC. Thoughts?

1. you can just pull fans from old builds
2. they aren't always necessary. If you're using a cool graphics card and your CPU runs cool, you may not even need added cooling.
3. You don't even need anything more than the stock CPU fan if you don't plan to overclock and don't mind the noise.

ffmpeg -ss 00:00:00 -i input -to 00:00:00 -c copy output

the -to in the command doesn't behave as it should but it behaves the same as -t which I don't know why it does. But when I use this command

ffmpeg -i input -ss 00:00:00 -to 00:00:00 -c copy output

the -to behaves the way it should. Changing the placement for -ss makes -to invalid? It was a pita to calculate the duration as it's never consistent for the amount I want to trim

I'm bout to build a new rig, I was wondering If I can somehow save cash and skip out on buying an operating system because I obviously already own one. I have a Windows 7 serial key somewhere but I've used that on my current computer and also had the free upgrade to W10. If I was to recover that key would I be able to use it on my new computer and then also get the W10 free upgrade or is Microsoft not offering it anymore?
Also would I need to completely wipe my current HDD if I wanted to transfer it to my new rig or can I just connect it up and it will run fine? Obviously the drivers for certain hardware wouldn't be appropriate anymore but will that conflict?

>>55476117
Please
respond.

>>55476669
I placed -ss before -i because I want it to seek to the keyframe otherwise the output would have delayed frames or something.

Is there a way for me to seek to a keyframe and start trimming from there and use -to instead of -t?

It's likely to run fine, although you will have to install drivers for the new hardware. You should download Windows 7 or 8.1 via the Microsoft website using the tool they provide to make a bootable USB or CD. After you've installed it to the new build, use Mstools or Dazloader from mydigitallife forums to activate it for free.

How do I reinstall Windows 7 and get all the good updates, without ever downloading any Windows 10 or telemetry related bullshit?

It's the same process as a regular fresh install.

if you're trying to output a certain length video, then use -t instead of -to
for example;

will output a 10 second video starting from the inputs' 1 minute mark

except that I am trimming multiple times from the original video with different durations. i.e. the first trims would start from 00:10:34 and ends at 00:13:54 and the second trim would be another random duration as well so using -to is better for me. If -t is the only method I can use then so be it, I would have to calculate the durations myself but it doesn't seem like a good thing since I have multiple videos to trim a day ...

If you both have verified paypal it shouldn't be an issue. Also the fact that you're selling through ebay means they'll take some responsibility if he outright scams you.

is this CPU worth upgrading though? it's got an i7 2720QM sandy bridge. and how do I find out if I currently have an IPS display? image on the screen looks pretty fuckin good but i'm not sure.

>>55477590
Well I was looking for vista.

I want an eink reader for textbooks, novels, and the occasional random pdf.
Would a refurbished kindle 7th gen for $56 be good for this? Or are there better options?

When are you prompted to decrypt it? Is it automatic on login, or do you have to do it after you login to Windows?

Currently I have a SSD with my OS on it and a HDD for storage. I want to dual boot Debian.
I'm going to use gparted to make a partition on the HDD where I will be installing Debian to.
If I do this, will it mess up/implement any boot loader shit or will I have to boot from HDD any time I want to go on Debian. I would prefer the latter.

>>55477656
I would go for a kindle becouse of the screen. (if you have one that kind of looks like papper).

a full disk encryption will prompt you before boot.

What's the safest way to seed torrents? VPN?

holyshit
disassemble
clean fans
remove copper cooling
change paste
close it without having screws left

>>55477693
yes a VPN.
Private trackers will also be safer.

also,
just recently picked up a T30 and a T41 for dirt, dirt cheap. can I do anything worthwhile/cool with them? and what do I do with my T400 now that I replaced it with the T520?? that laptop was my ride or die... ;~;

>>55477149
desu the power supply is excessive, just buy a bronze rated cheap PSU that werks +200 the voltage you need

>>55477693
What about the "Enforcing encryption" option?, doesn't it scramble the traffic in case ISP monitors it for pirate material?

>>55477621
sit closer/further from the screen

>>55477701
Sorry, should have stated, those were my readings before I carried out the steps mentioned in your post. Speccy report is now:

CPU: 89c
Mobo + others: 30-40c

it's gonna die on me isn't it!?

>>55477715
use as servers, that's what i do with broken laptops

What do I need to do if I want to move a windows installation from an OS drive to a new one, and then be able to boot from it? I assume I can't just copy the windows directory to the root of the drive?

>>55477763
You know what i mean right.
>right

>>55477777
checked

>>55477779
a cloning tool like clonezilla.
just copying the windows directory will do nothing.

>>55477779
reinstall windows on the new drive

>>55477753
I'm guessing that still leaves you're IP up for grabs, which is what I'm worried about.

So I'm thinking about upgrading to a LGA1151 board and CPU. Which one should I go for? This is my current PC. Main reason is I believe there might be something wrong with the PCIe slot on my current board.

hey boys
why cant i mount my partitions on thunar when using anything other than gnome

>>55477801
Can I clone just the windows install, and nothing else?

>>55477803
I've lost the disc.

>>55477777
quints responded to me i am honored senpai. but the T30 and the T41 are pretty old, can they still be ran as servers?

>>55477858
clone the entire drive.

if you lost the install medium download a new one from microsoft.

Consider how awesome, cheaper, and safer a seedbox VPS is.

Posted this yesterday, contacted the dev for a fix but they have no support.
Pokemon GO is the only app that does this, Android, Cyanogenmod 11, everything else is working properly.
There's a blue dot/circle on my screen that blocks all other inputs from going through, and a mouse cursor flickers under it when I don't move the device.
As soon as I move it, it stays a solid blue circle, so I think it might have something to do with the Gyro

>lost the disk
since when has this been an excuse?
Just download magical jelly bean to get the key and then find an iso from somewhere.

>>55477832
I'm a britbong so it's not massively hot here atm, not really encountered this problem in the four years I've had the laptop. As a newb to cooling issues how do I into keeping it cool? Already got a stand that tilts the unit at an angle to increase airflow to the fan.

>>55477777
you stole my quints you asshole

>>55477872
>clone the entire drive
The new drive would be a 120gb ssd, everything on the old drive wouldn't fit.

>if you lost the install medium download a new one from microsoft.
They don't seem to give out vista.

When i start up Hotline Miami it crashes and says "HotlineGL.exe has stopped working" (pic related). So i tried starting up OSU! and it says the same thing. I'm thinking that it's an error with OpenGL. What are the steps for troubleshooting this?

>>55477911
vista will be terrible on a ssd, at least get 7.

>>55477779
make a partition on the new drive, dd the contents of the old partition to the new one (use ntfsresize to make the old volume smaller than the new partition, then when dd is done, use ntfsresize again to resize the volume to the full size of the new partition)
mark the new partition as bootable, then use ms-sys to write a suitable bootsector to the disk

if you're using UEFI this procedure will differ, i have not used UEFI myself

>>55477841

>>55477899
Stand is good
Replace fans completely instead of just cleaning them, inexpensive if you do the work.
Not much else you can do.

>>55478000
Thanks bud, just ran some diagnostics and some program/process I couldn't locate disable or remove was chucking a fair load at my CPU; wasn't something I was familar with and I'm usually careful with my installations and downloads; possibly dodgy software or a virus. Currently performing a reformat/factory restore. Fingers crossed

Would a i5 6400 be an upgrade over a 4440?

>>55478195
not really

>>55477685
Even if it's not the boot disk? I plan to encrypt the new HDD I will buy, but leave the SSD with Windows encrypted.

>>55478323
>with Windows encrypted
unencrypted I meant of course.

>>55478323
if you have another bootloader before that, no, but it'll prompt right away afterwards.

>>55478292
Would it be worth it to upgrade to Skylake at all?

>>55478342
I just have a regular Windows 8 install, no extra bootloader.

>>55478346
Depends on what you're doing, but probably not.

>>55478338
if you encrypt a non system disk then you have to mount it after booting, you can automate this.

I would really like a overclocking mobo and processor, should I see if I could get a Haswell one for cheap?

What the fuck do I use to connect a midi keyboard to an android phone?
I found nothing on amazon and nothing on newegg, and nothing from googling
what the fuck

>>55478375
Okay, doesn't seem to hard. Thanks

>>55478403
It depends on just how low you can find it, and again, what you are using it for.

>>55478432
>phone has USB
>keyboard is MIDI
Maybe you should try searching for a MIDI to USB adapter

>>55478445
Mostly gaming. I just want better performance. I'm honestly considering a i7 4790 if it still has the 4GHz clock speed. Although, now I'm considering a SSD before anything since Newegg has one for a solid price.

>>55477877
I've got this issue too

I need to buy a wifi repeater/extender for my dad's office.

Can someone please explain how these things work? I need to buy something that is wireless that will also extend the range.
