Makes it way hard to fit webpages and documents on your screen.

What's the best thread around here to ask about an old iOS device? Or would that be here? I was looking for a homescreen general and couldn't find one.

I dropped my OnePlus One in the toilet and broke it. Didn't have a backup phone, as I gave my S3 to my brother. What I did have was an old iPod Touch 4 that I hadn't really touched since it lost support. It's jailbroken on iOS 6.1. I noticed I can still get stuff from cydia, but that it's realllly shitty. Ads everywhere and it occasionally tries to redirect the page I'm on without me tapping anything. I setup openssh but after being used to juicessh on Android, mobileterminal+bash+openssh was unusable. Not arrows or ctrl keys or anything. Couldn't even control tmux properly.

>can I put a better/newer OS on this?
>are there alternatives to cydia now?
>is there a way to manage this thing if needed on GNU/Linux? (I had still used Windows and iTunes when I last messed with this)

Also, while I'm at it. If I turned on my water-damaged phone and it's getting bootloops, is it for sure fucked forever? I keep having people telling me to put it in rice or try again in a week, but I already gave it time with some rice as well as dessicant, looked up and found out both don't work that well, and I'm thinking either way I'm fucked since it could've shorted stuff being on while wet already. I grabbed it out of the toilet quickly and powered it off and let it dry, but I didn't have a way to get the back off right away, and I still can't get the battery out, so I don't really know how far the water got.

Currently rocking a raspi 2 for a mpd server but it's already having problems running large flac songs, and I feel like I can't run another service on it without it shitting itself. I want to properly upgrade it to something decent that can handle more than it needs to handle.

odroid c2 and pine a64 are pretty beefy; their biggest flaw is no support for gpu hardware acceleration on GNU/Linux, only on Android, but if it's just a headless server these should be good

Pi 3 is also probably fine, but the older Pis are pretty weak

I fucked up alsa or pulse or something on Arch ages ago and broke audio somehow. Now I'm trying to fix it.

pavucontrol says 'No cards available for configuration' on the Configuration tab. Output Devices just has Dummy Output.

alsamixer's default card is PulseAudio. Also available is UM-ONE. This is a MIDI interface, not what I want. I need HDMI audio via nvidia GF114. PulseAudio has one volume channel in alsamixer. The volume is up and is not muted.

aplay -l says:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

The list is empty.

speaker-test makes pulse's Dummy Output play audio as visible in pavucontrol, but I can't hear anything.

lspci finds my card:

I finally experienced it when I got my X220T. Unless you want your windows all fullscreened, it is basically unusable. Had to zoom out on pages just to fit some terminal stacked vertically next to my firefox window. Even maximized the lack of height is pretty claustrophobic. When you get to resolutions that low, it really shows how shit 16:9 is. My T60p at 1400x1050 is pretty damn usable.

I've got 8 gigs of ram in my laptop and three open slots. I can pilfer three more four gig sticks, but they're slightly slower and slightly higher voltage. Even if this were to work, would I probably see a net gain or loss in performance?

Any way of making the host file route some IP's to a local HTML?

>>55717797
More RAM doesn't exactly equal more performance, unless it is all faster RAM than what you previously had. What it does allow is more multitasking. Everything kind of eats from your RAM, so if you want to leave your browser open while you're watching anime or playing a game, more RAM definitely helps. If your RAM all gets used, it has to switch over to using SWAP, which is much slower since it's hard drive space. This results in very laggy performance until you free up some RAM again. If you have SWAP disabled, the whole OS can hang until it decides what it should kill.

>>55717808
Thanks for the tip.

>but I don't know that much about alsa and pulse
I don't think anyone does. Especially not Poettering or the Arch developers.

>>55717817
Not an expert, but I think you'd want to have them redirect to 127.0.0.1:blahport or your local IP and then have a web server of some sort hosting your desired HTML page on that port

>>55717784
just uninstall everything (alsa, pa) and reinstall

alsa/pa is too computer specific to really help easily

>>55717821
Not really concerned with the capacity as much as having more channels. Im on a single DIMM right now, so Im just wondering if a lower clock speed would be offset by spreading the load.

>>55717852

>>55721253
A bottleneck means the weakest link. It's the part of any system that slows everything else down because it can't pull its own weight. If you have an assembly line of people making cars, and it takes the guy who installs the radios longer than anybody else at the factory, he's the bottleneck of production

I'd suggest just re-installing Windows and being more careful next time. While it is possible to remove it, the fact that it already GOT IN is just not good for "morale", you know? I would never keep using an operating system after this happened, even if I knew I cleaned it. Just better to fresh install.

Suggestions for a good free antivirus (besides good sense)?

So, recently moved across the country, and after my PC was shipped here and I started it up and tried to play some games, its only using the shitty intel gpu and not my 390.

I've tried reseating it, updated all the drivers, but if I try to launch the amd settings it gives me an error saying it's unavailable and to connect an amd. But the card is clearly connected, it's running, everything still detects it - device manager, speccy, etc. And yet I can't play any games using the 390

Anyone have an idea what the issue might be?

>>55721615
It's a little broader than that. A top of the line graphics card could easily be bottlenecked buy a dual core cpu from the same year, depending on the application. You could say that having a hard drive instead of an ssd bottlenecks certain elements of your system because you can notice a difference in performance by if you change out that single part. And there's little things to keep in mind, like how an amd graphics card requires more help from the processor, so it is more hindered by a weak one than an nvidia card would be.

>>55721684
Boot in safe mode & remove all AMD drivers -> reboot -> install graphics drivers again, failing that try reseating it.

>>55719921
Check your temperatures with Speccy or something like that. Something is overheating and the computer is shutting down. Probably your video card.

However, it could also be your motherboard going/gone bad.

COULD be a virus, but I doubt it. Boot into safe mode to make sure it's not.

Check inside your computer while it's running to see if any fans aren't working or if the computer is dirty. If it is, clean it, and you're good to go.

There's some starting points for you.

Is there a way to use both the Intel embedded graphics and the Geforce GT 610, preferably to support two monitors?
If it matters I use Debian 8 and Windows 10.

My computer has Intel embedded graphic which has worked well enough. So today I saw a great deal on a Geforce GT 610 and got it on impulse.

It all comes down to the parts which were used in the PC. Could be better, could be just as shit. If you care about displays, it might be more elegant to hook your laptop up to an external display rather than doing the same with the PC and then leaving its native monitor off all the time.

>>55722354

This is always hotly (kek) debated. I'm part of the intake camp. Always cram air into the case and keep the pressure high in there.

Kinda.

>>55722380
Exaust.
You want to get rid of the hot air.

>>55722411
Okay well then you have two options.

One is to figure out why this is fucked up. Test different USB ports (or different computers entirely), use adb, etc.

The other is to get a file manager app for your phone which has network file sharing. Many of the popular ones support it. Then you can just transfer the files wirelessly via your WiFi network.

>>55722405
Not if you can help it. The frame and body of the case will keep attracting the shank of the screwdriver and make it annoying to maneuver around in there.

60hz is fine

also i am stupid and do not know what resp. time is. Is 1 ms good or is 5 ms better?

>>55722635
Latency in simple words.
Unless you mean GTG, which is the time it takes from a pixel to turn gray,white and then gray again.

It shout be BTB but shady marketing and stuff.

logicalincrements.com/monitors

>>55722635
1ms means its a TN panel
5ms means its an IPS

Lower response time is better but IPS has better colors and viewing angles.

Will the USB C from my HTC 10 Android phone work well for playing movies on a 1080p TV?

Going on a trip and this looks like a good way to play media. Need to know if I'm not going to just get gimped by some USB 2.0 speeds when I need it to convert to HDMI using an adapter.

I asked this in a previous thread but it didn't get answered before I had to go to work.

So I'm running arch linux and I downloaded pulseaudio and pavucontrol to control the daemon. My problem is I have keyboard shortcuts for volume control but in pavucontrol it shows I have to output choices., Digital and Analog. Analog is the only one that works on this laptop but the shortcuts only control the digital output. How do I make it control the output. I'm using i3wm btw.

Given the jump from 700 gb to 2200, I would certainly say you have a leech on your network

What is your setup? Model? Is your password WPA2? I hope you aren't using WEP.
For starters, log onto your router control panel and check what devices are connected, then view the MAC addresses. If you find something that doesn't match your own hardware, that is your culprit. Then I would turn everything off, change your password. After that? Either go totally wired, or continue to use WIFI and don't broadcast SSID.

>>55727600
Yes, it generally is. Go by the "health" indicator at the top, but also check the details. If the RAW reallocated sectors or pending sectors are anything other than 0, it's circling the drain. The only possible exception is if you have a pending sector resulting from some event like a power failure during a write, and know that's what it is.

However, it is often possible to go on using a disk that has a couple of bad sectors for an amazingly long time. Just keep backups of anything you actually care about, and remember that it could go tits up unexpectedly.

>>55727789
m3u are just plaintext with a list of files separated by newlines

>>55727806
im assuming if i want to have the m3u in a different location than the actual files i would just have to include directories too?

sounds easy enough, thanks friend, probably could have just googled what an m3u was, either way, thanks

Is there a Linux music player that can sort on folders while still showing the picture of each album, like Winyl on Windows?

>>55727825
Yes. You can have absolute or relative path names in it. For instance I created an m3u that's on the root of the SD card my music is on. I used all relative paths to the songs on it. That way it works if Windows decides to call it a different drive letter.

You can't make a m3u that works in both Linux and Windows it seems. But if it uses relative paths, all you need to do to convert between them is change all / to \ or vise versa.

Has Chrome been using more RAM than usual lately for anyone else? I've got 16 GB and have never had any problems but recently I've been getting getting low memory warnings while only having like 15 tabs open (been times where I've had about 40 open with no problems). No new addons either.

How does ClamAV compares to Avast or Avira?

Ultra stupid question : say I already have my web browser opened and my VPN off. Then I activate my VPN. Will it do the job correctly or do I need to relaunch the web browser for the VPN to be effective?

>>55728446
It'll start routing all your traffic through your VPN. However, if there's been any session cookies stored in your browser before turning the VPN on, it may cause problems if you're logged into accounts.

>>55728423
Do you use ABP?

>>55728487

No, uBlock Origin.

>>55728481
I see. Thanks.

I'm using PIA as a VPN, can't post on 4chan without turning it of. Any way?

>>55728513

No, all their IPs are banned.

>>55728513
4Chan blocks most server IP blocks.

>>55728527
Dang. Any decent VPN that isn't banned?

>>55728534
No.
They're not banned out of principle, they're banned because people always use them to break the rules, and so they get the IPs banned.

Is there a mod rwwrite variable I can use to fetch the domain name?
And a way to output the variables used by RewriteCond sop I can check what they actually contain?

I fell for the AMD APU meme, I can't afford a full rebuild at the moment but if I wanted to put a better GPU in it would be as simple as seating the new GPU, installing drivers & setting applications to use only the new GPU? Then I would get a new mobo + CPU bundle later down the line.

I've got this chinky dvb-t stick from China.

On my arch Linux PC when connected to my aerial w_scan finds no frequencies (using default driver)

When on a windows PC with RTL-SDR driver on it can get FM radio signals (so I know it can receive signals and isn't totally broken)

I'd like to get the DVB-T working, what does /g/ think the problem is?

>>55728815
Linux is the problem.

Lack of a real driver.

>>55728824
According to dmesg Linshit finds uses the rtl(something)_sdr drivers that are built into the Kernel.

Before installing the RTL-SDR driver in Winblows I did try using a frequency checker in the MSI website but it found nothing either...

Maybe the stick just can't do DVB stuff?

I really haven't been keeping up with computer hardware in years... first off is there any good reason to update from my LGA1155 rig to one of the newer platforms?

Also what are currently the best bang for buck components (for a relatively powerful PC) in following categories:
PC case
SSD
HDD
GPU
PSU

I just got a Samsung SSD and I'm using it as a boot drive with Windows 7. Should I enable Over-Provisioning or is it a meme?

Just bought an I5-6600k (Previous processor was an FX-6300)

I wanna know how much of a performance increase I could expect with this processor. My old FX-6300 was pretty shit, had a weird stutter issue and couldn't overclock with a trash motherboard.

Anyone have any experience with ASUS PB279Q 4K monitor? Would you recommend?

>>55729049
>PC case
Literally the cheapest, most modular case you can find. Ain't that hard.
>SSD
Samsung 850 EVO
>HDD
Everyone has their arguements that seagate is better than this, and WD is better than that, but it just comes down to if its DOA or not. Had a few HDD's that were Seagate and WD
>GPU
If you haven't been on this board for atleast a day now, you are either a newfag or a ledditor. Literally most threads talk about the RX 480/ GTX 1060. Hard to get them, but I believe a GTX 970 or a 980 will suffice.
>PSU
Something that doesn't explode

What do?

>>55729296
Did he run Disk Cleanup or otherwise run something that might delete C:\Windows.old or C:\Windows.WS?

>>55724583
Anyone?

>>55729708
Pretty sure you can't. I mean, what you connect is switches and LEDs, and what you connect them to are low voltage, low current.

So my computer died a few days ago, i was measuring ram clearance with digital calipers to see if i could fit new ram in my old as fuck computer to wait out until kaby lake-e/skylake-e next year

I go to turn it on after that and it turns on but doesn't post or boot

I tried taking out the ram, switching the location of the sticks, taking out the video card and using the integrated gpu

I know there is no point in trying to troubleshooting the problem since it's a 6 year old build, it'll be cheaper to just replace the motherboard/cpu/ram than buying a new motherboard to test components and finding out it want just the ram or the motherboard of the cpu

My question is how worried should i be about my 6 year old psu, it a 500 watt oem seasonic psu, i don't mind replacing it if i have to, but I'm wondering if i should just chuck it to be safe if it's the reason my computer won't post as in it took the motherboard with it

my old HDD randomly deleted/lost some files and folders
the only recent things I've done is connect a smartphone to my PC but I doubt that affected it in any way
I tried using Recuva to recup the files but most are already overwritten for some reason
Anything else I can do? Now I know why people keep suggesting backups to backups, it feels pretty horrible losing a lot of that stuff

Is there a tangible benefit other than windows boot time to put my OS on my SSD? I'd rather keep my ssd for quickly loading vidya if it's negligible

Plenty of random reads of system files are ongoing during regular operation

>>55729569
I don't think so, but I'm unsure if he installed it by clicking on the advertisement or if he made himself a bootable usb stick

>>55719667
Ah. I also use irssi and don't know where that's stored... It might be taking it from /etc/passwd if you gave full name and such when making your user.

>>55729985
I upgraded from 8.1 to 10 yesterday using a USB stick made with MediaCreationTool. I have the option to go back.

>>55730029
ok, good to know. That makes it even stranger though.

Thanks, still I think I managed to do it somehow. I think I can rule out other possible ways of shorting the board other than random static electricity when touching it. Shit worked in my old case. I used standoffs.
