hotkey function to alternate primary monitors in Windows 10?

>>55523111
Copying from last thread:
Retarded Windows goes to sleep in the middle of installing updates. This requires me to watch the update, and if it automatically updates, the next day I'm greeted with a "working on updates: 1%" and I have to wait 30 minutes to use my computer.

How do I fix this?

If I bricked a stick of RAM by fucking with it's SPD, is there any way other than using professional tools to bring it back from firmware induced death?

Is there a way to disable a secondary HDD from spinning up when booting my computer, without actually having to remove the damn thing.

Which one is the best chipset?

Intel® B150 Express
Intel® H110 Express
Intel® Z170 Express

And why?

>>55523261
I don't see the 1070 going below $150 anytime soon, so it's always going to be overpriced for a 6GB, gimped bus system.

>>55523182
Which version of windows?

>>55523286
In terms of features and amount of IO, Z170 has it all including overclocking of K chips but is of course more expensive than the other two chipsets.

i have a galaxy nexus i9250. i can't play pokemon because it is still 4.1.1. my country don't get the updates, how can i update it to the required version?

also i will install the game from an apk, so i guess i need to root the phone?

thanks in advance.

Does Gigabyte GA-B150M-D3H DDR4 support IOMMU?

Why does Mullvad seem to be so inconsistent? Sometimes I will be able to connect to web pages perfectly fine with it and seconds later it suddenly can't load anything no matter what country I'm connecting to.

I never had this problem a few months ago. Everything worked completely fine back then. Of course mullvad has no forums or anything at all to discuss any of this.

The computer tests all hardware on boot. You can try moving it down the boot list in bios, disable it if you can. If it's constantly loud there may be nothing to do but replace it. You could try buying a cheap sata to usb and just plug it in when you want it

Are case fans with onboard temp sensors and controllers any good?

>>55523585
It really depends on the manufacturer and model anon

>>55523577

But that would mean I would have to boot into bios every time I want to access it. Guess its better than nothing though.

Connect the cable, and click the button that pops up on your phone. The phone now behaves as a USB storage device, and can be mounted as one. Move your music to the folder labeled "Music" using eg. 'cp'. Unmount the device.

However, when I minus two off, it shows 254 which means that even when the value exceeded 0, the value is still actually stored. Why wouldn't it just show -2?

I have learnt that it changes to 0 once the value is exceeded, but I'm asking this as I'm curious what's the point of the limit when the value is stored anyway.
>>55524506
I'm not actually trying to get a minus number, I'm just curious as to why the value that's exceeded would be taken into consideratiion after it has been exceeded once I added the final calculation.
>>55524520
My mistake, even so the fact that 0 - 2 didn't calculate to 0 (since there is no minuses) confuses me.

Or is it the case that once it goes below 0 it defaults back to 255?

Yeah if you exceed the range in either direction it will overflow.
0 - 1 = 255
0 - 2 = 254
255 + 1 = 0

Pic related, it will not click flush into the mobo no matter the pressure applied.

>>55525323
The point is that you can't just block the system from communicating with microsoft. Their control is too deep, and they can update it whenever they want. They've probably already defeated all of this shit, and they just don't mention it. External network isolation is the only serious solution. There's nothing real to suggest otherwise.

back in the day terminals were physical machines, like pictures, which connect to a mainframe
the terminals themselves just provide keyboard input and video output, and aren't actually computers

as for the green, it was a common color choice, the monitors were often monochrome, meaning they could only produce one color

for some time this was THE method of using a computer, until home computers with more advanced integrated video hardware came along

Those are words intended to make a complex and convoluted thing sound simple and comprehensive. The best they can do is try and tap out certain parts of the system based on behavior. But microsoft has already demonstrated they can not only control but also remove any software on the pc without notice. And all they have to do to conceal telemetry components is make their transmissions encrypted it and make them look like something else. This is like people trying to convince themselves that the pull out method is safe. Might work, might not, but you're sure as hell not basing your actions on empirical facts.

You can try plugging it into a computer and just dragging out all your important data, but you might need to unlock the tablet to grant permission to the pc.

Of course not. But this is an old argument. Is it better to use an unreliable protection if it produces a false sense of security that influences your decisions? People believing they are safer than they are has consequences. It would be better to mention the tool and say it might help a little, but you shouldn't count on it. They might consider other options like you have if they have a more accurate perspective.

Now here's my problem. AUDIO.
I am using Home Media Player, CCCP version which means it has all the right codecs, see the picture, well I cant hear the audio of the first 2 tracks, neither Windows Media Player work.

I am wearing headphones but even from the television there is no sound and the audio bar shows that even the PC think that no audio is actually being reproduced.

Poorfag here, upgrading my ancient PC.

Or should I get a GTX 960? The budget is 400 bucks.

is there a way to

•if there is a new upload automatically download the audio

Hey, /g/.

I'm following this overclocking guide:
https://rog.asus.com/7922012/overclocking/guide-overclocking-the-core-i5-3570k-to-4-5ghz-on-the-maximus-v-gene/

After the "test" settings (which is like the max to ensure everything goes well) I got BSoD before I got to loading up Prime95.

My memory is 1600Mhz (which is what I set it to in BIOS).

Shit crashes when I reduce to 4.4Ghz clock. I'm now testing with 1333Mhz on the RAM setting, but I'm not very hopeful.

Do I have the most stubborn 3570K in the world or something? How can shit go this bad?

>>55528522
Yup, crashed again. Didn't even get past welcome screen.

>>55528522
>>55528541
Increase Vcore very slightly until you get to windows and then Intel Burn Test + Prime95

>>55528681
If you can get to 4.4 then go for it. Anything above that you should check online since it might cause performance issues for some old phones.

Lightning and naked are both open source browsers that don't take up a lot of space, and are extremely lightweight. I'm not sure about naked, but lightning has built in ad blocking as well.

It has terrible signal, but i discovered that if I put a finger on the usb metal part the signal get boosted and I can manage to fill the bandwidth

but it's fucking unconfortable to do so, then with a usb chord and the triangular metal thing to hang clothes(idk how it's called) I managedto make It a little indipendent, still i get 3x download speed if I lay a infer on ot

How can I recreate this effect? I'm not america so I cant just buy a slave to do it for me

thanks

Yeah. I don't think it even has to be a google account.

Can I get JavaScript to preform the alert() action when my cursor is in a textarea and is prefixed by a text pattern? Pic related.

So /g/ I wana cheat my ass off at pokemon go with gps spoofer before they add anti cheat software to it.
Should I just buy an unlocked pre rooted S5 off ebay?
I literally know jack shit about android, playin on a shitty Iphone 4 that needs to be replaced anyway.

You don't want to use alert() for that. Actually you don't want to use alert() ever.

>>55528725
Things seem remarkably more stable now that I've set memory frequency on auto.

>>55528859
I was just trying to make JavaScript do some action based on the conditions. I could make the background turn green.

My shitty laptops left and right clickers stopped working. The left clicker works sometimes but only if i press it hard enough. How much would this cost to get fixed or can I fix it myself (im a newb to tech so idk bout that option) thanks /g/uys

My power supply died and took a hard drive and a pcie slot with it.

Should I keep using this board now that it's been damaged? Is there any real risk?

>>55528732
There is no original 4.4 release from what i have seen. Shame. What are disadvantages of using old version of andriod?

>>55529070
there might be some apps you won't be able to use, but it shouldn't be a huge deal.
Check on xda if there's a root method for you phone and any custom roms. Those might be on newer android versions.

>>55528902
You could use something like this

var textfield_input = document.getElementById('your-textfield-id');

// Gets called whenever you press a button when in the textfield/area
textfield_input.onkeyup = function(e) {

    // Text Content of the text field/area
    var textContent = this.value;

    // Update autocomplete suggestion here

};

The autocomplete suggestion box is probably just a div with a higher z-index than the underlying content.

Is there really anything better for $30?

>>55529127
The 212 evo might have better performance with the direct contact heat pipes and 4 pipes vs 3, but it looks like the H7 might have better surface area
H7 is probably easier to mount

>>55523111
when using i3 and compton, my desktop background turns white? How do i prevent this from happening?

>>55529203
Also, my build is a mid-tower micro-ATX case with only barely enough clearance for the 212 (160mm clearance, it's a CM N200).

The H7 is probably the ideal air cooler for this build, right?

>>55529285
Yeah the H7 is 14 mm shorter
It may also interfere with RAM slots less due to the offset design

Do smartphones (specifically Nexus 5) have actual GPS? Or only through data? Like if I take it hiking in the mountains without any cellular or WiFi connection, will I still have GPS?

What is so wrong with MSFT pushing Windows 10 so hard on its consumers?

How useful is a wireless card over a usb dongle?

>>55528973
usb mouse

>>55529317
The os isn't bad, but the principle of them forcing anything down consumers' throats is not welcome.

>>55529322
less chords

>>55529322
Depends on the situation
High interference/longer distance environment you will get worse performance with a USB dongle usually. If you're just across the room you probably wouldn't notice a difference.

>>55529315
Its a real GPS, it may take longer to acquire a lock without cell tower assistance but it should work.

>>55529313
Cool. Ordered. Everywhere I look, people tend to recommend the H7 or the 212 as the best bang-for-buck CPU coolers.

It also doesn't hurt that it looks nice and matches my Black/White color scheme but that's unimportant really.

So Ublock origin is much better than ABP?

How?

I installed it and nothing seems quicker or anything, in fact -- slower?

>>55529383

Nice, does anyone know if there are any good free GPS/map apps that would be good for using when you only have a satellite GPS signal?

Since this is a good thread. I need a decent mouse. I like ones with the infinite spinning scroll wheels and side buttons. Anything that wont break my bank?

g502 on sale goes down to $50 or $60.

Google maps lets you download an area beforehand to use offline, you have to update it every 30 days though or it stops working because fuck you.

I was able to get it stable at 4.4GHz and 1.26V. Temps never getting above 80 (Celsius). Still seems like an unusually stubborn CPU though. 4.5GHz is still failing at 1.275V.

I'll test further tomorrow though (is there a point I really should stop?). Although at the moment it seems wise to stick to 4.4GHz.

>>55529415
If I remember correctly ABP lets companies pay them to unblock their adds. That's why everyone switched to ublock origin.

This is going to be a bit complicated but please stay with me.

I ordered a used Mainboard+CPU and Cooler online.

It was from a site where you sell between two people, no legal obligations involved, the point is I can't sue someone if he doesn't actually send me anything at all or bullshit, the idea is you get it from the person in person but on that site you often make agreements to deliver on that site and just sell used stuff very cheap.

He offered me an AMD FX 8350, an MSI 970 Motherboard and a Noctua NH-D14 Cooler.

But the Cooler I got today isn't that one, I think what it is is an Alpenföhn Brocken Eco. Just the fan is from Noctua. Don't ask me why there is this other fan, I don't ever see that on pictures, should I still mount it on the other side? The thing is I also have 2 fans installed on the top of my case. Not sure if this helps

I suppose it is enough to cool that processor, I don't even care about it being the wrong one, my problem is I have no fucking idea how to attach it.

It had these 4 different kind of screws and the things you see on the picture, no idea how to get that mounted on the am3+.

>>55529638
Its missing the bracket to attach it to the backplate

>>55529700
But the rest is correct? Even the 4 screws?

>>55529316
still not enough signal

Is there a good and cheap top down cooler?
Has to cool down the VRM.

This piece of shit is the best I was able to find.

Is this legit? I know JDownloader has tried to sneak adware on people before.

This is a homework question, I'm only asking it because I'm pretty sure my professor is fucking me over

I'm supposed to use json and pickle .dump to take user information from a 'tweet', which is a dictionary, and put it in a json or pickle file depending on user input. The user information is stored in the tweet as a dictionary under the key 'user'. So, I did this:

def extract_user(path, outpath, as_type = None):
    if as_type == None:
        as_type = "json"
    tweet = load_tweet(path)
    user = tweet['user']
    if as_type == "json":
            with open(outpath, "w") as out:
                json.dump(user, out)
    elif as_type == "pkl":
            with open(outpath, "wb") as out:
                pickle.dump(user, out)

This runs without error but when I run his test code it screws up:

import os.path
assert extract_user("q2data/tweet.json", "q2data/out.json")
assert os.path.exists("q2data/out.json")
truth = redacted for size, just a string with the user info in a json format
assert open("q2data/out.json", "r").read().trim() == truth

I get an error on the .trim() here because str has no trim attribute. But since json.dump makes a string, and I can't find .trim() in any kind of python documentation I don't know what to do. Even removing the trim(), it still says my code is wrong because my string is ordered differently than his test string. However, it has all of the same components and dictionaries and json strings are both unordered so how the fuck is this supposed to work in the first place? I honestly think my code is perfect and he screwed something up but it's likely that I missed something stupid.

>>55529719
Well, no
It also looks like the wrong backplate, but finding replacement screws would probably be a lot easier than a new bracket.

>>55529762
forgot to mention, load_tweet is just a function that loads the whole tweet as a python dicitonary

>>55529732
Wow that design looks retarded

>>55529474
If you can't crack 4.5 at 1.3 vcore, you should just stick to 4.4 @ 1.26. Even if you can do 4.5 @ 1.3 I'd still go for 4.4 instead because 1.26 to 1.3 is actually a decent jump due to how voltage scales roughly cubed.

>>55529852
I actually continued to test instead of going to sleep like I should. I hit 1.295V and got it fairly stable, but it crashed again after I tried a second cycle with IBT (with Prime95 running).

Might be 1.3V could work, but I think I'm sticking to 4.4GHz.
