So I just downloaded MPV for windows 7. Do I really need d3dcompiler_47.dll, libEGL.dll, and libGLESv2.dll? Can I just extract the .exe on the desktop and not use the dll files?

Is it possible to install a hackintosh directly onto a different hard drive via macOS in a virtual machine on Windows and then reboot to have macOS run instead of Windows on the physical computer?

kis this a good idea for beginners? anyone have a better chart?

So a quick stupid question since I am getting too many irrelevant google results.

I have a retail CD key of win 8.1 so it means I can take it from system to system as I please.
I upgraded to windows 10.

So does that mean during a new installation I will enter my old win 8.1 cd key ?

i think it's finally time to pull the plug on my win xp torrentbox/nas. i'll probably go with ubuntu instead of win 7.

do i just yolo format or what should i watch out for? it'll be my first time w/ ubuntu.

this https://dpaste.de/gSmQ is the output from going to dpaste, fsf and duckduckgo with chromium
anything spoopy?

i have debian stable with linux 4.6, sometimes it freezes and i can only move the mouse, but not click or use the keyboards.
the menus don't light up when put the cursor over them.
dmesg says this is the error (it was red, so it must be the error i think):

also yes i was using atom before it crashed, but it also happens with chromium, eclipse, ...
i could remove nuoveau, but i don't want to use the nonfree driver.

what do? change DE?

>>55754238
if you can, try it in virtualbox
learn about partitions, there's no reason to remove windows xp if you have enough space on the hard disk.

you can dual boot xp and ubuntu, just in case you fuck something up with ubuntu (can happen if you're a noob, i removed my whole DE for mistake) you can go back to xp

i would shrink the partition with xp and install ubuntu on the remaining free space

Is it possible to download Windows 10 right now, before the free period is over, but not actually upgrade and replace 7 as my primary OS until some arbitrary point later? I would like to get the free update, but I don't really need 10 right now, and need to look up how to shut off the telemetry and all that stuff.

can anyone help me with my binge eating disorder?

>>55754301
Get another HDD and upgrade W10 on it.
Create another partition and upgrade W10 on it.

>>55754105
you can make a bootable stick with unibeast from the VM, then use the disk to install osx on the hard drive.

you should do this because it will recognize and adapt to your hardware.

or at least that's what normal operating systems do, not sure about osx

>>55754300
thanks.

i did run a laptop dual-booting arch and win 7 but the thing is i can't remember if the other drives were accessible for both oss.

in the nas i have c:, which has win xp and stuff. i can accommodate another partition there, no problem. but i also have d: e: f: etc. will they be accessible for both oss? ntfs vs ext3 or whatever?

Does Toshiba manufacture good, reliable external HDs? I mostly intend to use it to store animays and films. Also what filesystem would be adequate for that (I'm on Debian). Someone suggested exfat in the last thread

>>55754374
linux can read windows partitions (usually ntfs) but windows can't read ext3, ext4 or other "linux filesystems", but if you're going to use ubuntu you should be able to read all your windows partitions

>>55754506
thanks baby love you.

>>55754483
All External HDDs are not exactly reliable but that doesn't mean they wont last you atleast 20k hours if you take care of it.
But yes, Toshiba makes good SSDs.

binge eating, anorexia, and bulemia are actual diseases similar to addiction. theyre stonger than a habit and often require clinical support.

whether addiction is a disease is medically unquestionable but philosophically debatable and i have little doubt youll disagree about the latter.

t. i grew up around both heroin addicts and a bulemia patient (mother/father, and sister respectively)

>>55754675
>t. i grew up around both heroin addicts and a bulemia patient (mother/father, and sister respectively)
pretty sad pal

>>55754713
poor pitiful me ;_; ;_;

dunno whether youre actually being simpathetic or not but the only things that came out of that is my social growth was stunted (repaired somewhat from highschool) eating habits are poor, and im more willing to help others. i dont mind it so much as its all i had. i just kniw that i have to make do with what i have.

hey, heheh, at least they didnt beat/rape me amirite?

WAAAA I CANT STOP EATING FOOD AS AN EMOTIONAL BARRIER. I LITERALLY CANT STOP EATING MCDONALDS 6 TIMES A DAY AND DORITOS IN BETWEEN. ITS GENETICS WAAA

binge eating disorder is different from eating a shitload.
>hiding large amounts of food
>eating yourself sick
>focusing on the food so much that it elicits a positive emotional response
>eating little in front of others but eating a lot in private

its very similar to buliemia it just has significantly less vomit.

>>55754946
So my point stands, it isnt a medical mental disorder.

>>55754305
>>55754675
>>55754811
>>55754901
Might want to take it to >>/fit/ they'll probably have better help.

>>55755020
no it doesnt.

if
bulemia = disorder
binge ≈ bulemia
then
binge ≈ disorder

at the very least its close and as i have already said its more than a habit, its much closer to addiction. it has nothing to do with what you eat, just how you eat. if you dismiss binge as not a disorder then at the very least you HAVE to dismiss anorexia and early bulimia because the phisiological solution is to "just stop" but eating disorders are not just phisological but instead psycological because something changes in your mind at its core and it takes a lot of effort and usually help to correct it.

youre right in the sense that eating like a fat slob is not binge eating disorder or a mental disorder at all.

but much like a cold and meth addiction, binge eating disorder is (medically) unquestionably a disease.

Is there an adapter for this SSD?

A vast majority of mental illnesses can be described as "weak will". They're not actual illnesses, they're defects and psychological issues arising from being unable to deal with them, or being too defective to exist in normal society. But the word "illness" makes people think they can be cured.

Ok so i want to reinstall windows but.

1. My computer only has one SATA port.
2. I have no way to transfer the content of the HDD to somewhere else (350-400GB).

Can i just create another partition (50GB partition because i only have 70GB Left) and make it bigger as i move stuff?
And then reinstall windows?

>>55755601
you missed every single one of my points. im done replying to your bait. fuck ive already addressed everything you said in this post. ive shown why i beilieve what i do and shown why youre incorrect in your beliefs and even agreed with you on one of your points (an irrelevant point you keep poiting out) plus i said nothing about genetics or weight at all

also youre fucking retarded.
>comparative fallacy
a) comparative fallacy is when you make an incomplete comparison such as 'pink is better' because you cant refute it cause you arent comparing it to anything.
b) what you think it means is called the composition/division fallacy (i.e. what true about one thing is not neccesarily true about all things)
c) i did not violate either as that was my conclusive statement saying that it is a disease in the same sense of the word as other diseases.
d) fallacy fallacy, im not wrong just because i did a whoopsie and commited a logical fallacy (which i didnt)

quit self inserting and learn to make a proper argument you fucking dimwit.

>>55755629

What do then? I'm downloading cam and core temps to see what they say but I'm assuming it's speccy that's lyng to me, even though I'd much rather it was the BIOS.

I want to switch them with PgUp and PgDn (I can find these keys in the xkb files, but not the names for forward/back).

>>55756031
Because the load in BIOS is not either a full load or idle load so is less accurate for temperatures.

>>55756012
Why does everyone here hate 1366x768?

>>55756112
Because is not 1280x720 or 900p, or 1080p.

I have a macbook 4,1 (early 2008 model) that I was given a while ago. It works pretty well, the previous owner upgraded it to 4 Gb of RAM and I have a cheap 60 gb SSD laying around I was thinking of putting in it. My big issue is it is still running OS 10.6.8 and most software is not supporting it.

Would it be possible to load up some distro of linux on it? I was reading about the fact that macbooks use EFI not a regular BIOS. Anyone tried setting up a macbook this way?

For quiet while still having good cooling performance you would probably want whichever one has the largest diameter fans. You could then use something like MSI afterburner to set a manual fan curve to keep it the fans running slower. You might have to deal with slightly higher temps, but you could just make sure the case is well ventilated and live with it.

Or you could really buy anyone that has aftermarket fans and some sort of sound proofed case. I have a Define R4 and it is scary how quiet it is while running. Still not my favorite case tho.

Would my PowerColor AMD Radeon HD 7800 break if I use two monitors with different outputs (1920x1080 through HDMI + 1024x768 through VGA)? I know for a fact that it supports the setting, but my old GPU, an XFX AMD Radeon HD7850, which I had running for about 3 years, stopped working shortly after I set up the second monitor in the past, and that episode made me unsure whether I should try it again.

If your MBP is older than like 2012 or so, it has old EFI 1.1. It *MIGHT* be possible to install Linux on that and get everything working right, but it will be far easier to boot the CD in BIOS mode and install it like it's Windows. The boot menu will show it as Windows when it's installed. Either roll with that or install rEFIt in the EFI System Partition to get a different boot menu.

I didn't get a CD Drive. But I have one in an old PC, would it be useful to rip it out and put it into my PC, just to install all that? I have two or three CDs, one for my 980Ti, one for my mobo and another one for something else I think.

Also, for some reason, I connected the PC to my monitor via DVI-D into my 980Ti, but when I turned it off and moved it to my room, I plugged it via HDMI into the mobo port and nothing showed up, same when I put it into the GPU, then when I put the DVI-D cable in, it wouldnt show up on screen, I had to put it into the DVI-I slot to get it to show up.

You need to install the drivers for everything to work correctly, the videocard is an example.

Install videocard drivers from the Nvidia site rather from the CD, do this as soon you finish with Ethernet drivers.

Unless your HDD came pre-formated you need to reformat it to NTFS.

>>55757012
Alright thanks, I'll get the ethernet drivers working first then and move onto the rest.

Is that why when I boot up Speccy on the PC, it doesn't show the real name for the GPU and my RAM?

My RAM is Crucial 16GB DDR4 but its says unknown on Speccy, same with the 980Ti but it says NVIDIA Display adapter or something like that.

RAID 0 doesn't require much processing at all. Even if you don't have a RAID controller or choose to use software RAID, the impact should be minimal.

Also, a piece of advice for anyone considering RAID 0 for anything other than a scratch disk: Reconsider. Rather than divide your chances of losing anything like other RAID options, RAID 0 multiplies your chances -- if any drive fails, you lose everything.

kill yourself and collect your reward.

Guys, I need a new monitor. Except work I watch movies and sometimes play FPS.

Should I get:
1. A TN 144hz monitor with rich blacks and whites - ASUS VG248QE
2. A generally meh monitor with awesome colors and awesome warranty - EIZO FS2434
3. A cheap freesync fast reaction IPS monitor - Samsung LC24F390FHU

Help me out, after researching for 3 hours I'm lost. All 3 have advantages.

Would it cost my ISP more to download a 10mb file from a server 1000 miles away than it would to download a 10mb file from a server 100 miles away?

>>55757557
it costs literally fucking nothing to do either

So another stupid question.

I recently updated PCs, and now for some reason the NIC won't go beyond 100mbit.
Even though the previous PC has no problem connecting faster/downloading faster.

I have a cat5e cable so i dont know what the problem is

>>55757570
Thanks for the answer, friend.

>>55757557
$0, it would cost them when you enter in the 10TB/s range on a small ISP.

>>55757557
It doesn't cost money to move data around.

>Still not my favorite case tho.
What is your favourite?

>>55757721
570
+15-30 for shipping
+15% tax

672-690. That's still a lot more than it should be. MSRP for Canada is supposed to be $500

>>55757746
MSRP doesn't include tax or shipping.

I just preordered an RX 480 nitro on Amazon today.

How long will it take until it ships?

>>55757760
500
+15-30
+15%

592 - 609

It's a bit of a big difference. I feel like I should be able to buy a 1080 if I gotta pay almost $100 more.

Posted in a thread last night but it died before I got a good answer.

Trying to set up a live usb with persistence. I already have a functioning live usb. In order to make the partition for the persistence I need to specify where it starts and ends. According to all the instructions Ive googled this should show up in parted like so:

> 2 2988MB 3050MB 64.9MB primary fat16

Which would let you know to start the partition at 3050. This is not the case. Instead I get:

> 1 16.4kB 8003MB 8003MB primary

Now, this is an 8G usb. So according to both parted and cfdisk it is taking up the entire usb plus 3MB. The real headfuck is when I right click->properties the usb it shows it as having only 2.8G of space taken up. As it should be.

How do I figure out where to start the partition?

anyone ever use Aurum Cables brand cat6 ethernet cable? its $100 for 1000 feet and solid copper (not cca) and has 5 stars from 4 reviews, is this a good deal?

>>55757746
Given our exchange rates and MSRP, you are correct it *should* be $500.
But right now there is a demand for these cards so the market reacts accordingly and prices go up.

>paying for shipping
So we already know you cannot wait for this card, so why do you whine about the price when something like local pick up is free.

and now to finally shut up your whining, the prices are equally inflated in the US as well.
Right now the cheapest on pcpartpicker is 429 US which ends up back to where we started at $566 cad

so its fucking nothing, you want it now you pay more. If you want to save money you wait.

I'm screwing around in powershell to edit excel files and don't understand why the application.quit is where it is. The goal is to make the same changes to a cell in all workbooks in the directory.

Incoming semi pseudocode:

$Excel = New-Object -Com Excel.Application
ForEach $file in $files{
open workbook, open sheet, set cell, save workbook,close workbook
$Excel.Quit()
}

Vs

$Excel = New-Object -Com Excel.Application
ForEach $file in $files{
open workbook, open sheet, set cell, save workbook,close workbook
}
$Excel.Quit()

The first works (but I'd think it is opening excel each time) while the second will only work on the first loop.

So, I currently have a note 4. Considering upgrading in this coming April. The thing that bugs me is that most phones coming out now a days have no removable batteries.

Two questions,

1. Does having a removable battery matter nowadays? IE if I get a phone will the battery last me 4 years of a good charge?

2. Is it possible to have the phone serviced to replace the battery on a non-removable battery device?

The removable battery thing is a meme, maybe a few anons swap out batteries here, but hardly anyone else does.
People just don't like limits/restrictions or the ideas of them even if they barely affected by them.
>IE if I get a phone will the battery last me 4 years of a good charge?
I'm not sure if this is a typo or not.. but lets put things into persepctive you're looking at upgrading your home already at the time of upgrade it will be ~2-3 years old, yet you want the next phone you have to last your 4 years. Why 4 years when you upgrade every 2.

>>55758559
Give it a shot and see if you like it. It should boot faster than 7. If you don't like it, do a clean install of 7. If your computer has been on the same Windows install since 2010, it's going to be pretty slow just due to Windows rot.

>>55758559

>>55758566
>The removable battery thing is a meme, maybe a few anons swap out batteries here, but hardly anyone else does.
Until the battery dies. I would rather be able to swap batteries than phone.

>>55758566
Money mostly, my note 4 has been running strong still, and the newer phones that have been coming out haven't been all that much of an improvement spec wise compared. Don't see much point to lay down so much cash for a minuscule improvement.

>>55758617
Correct, thats my fear, that the battery won't be able to hold a charge that well after like two years or less.

>>55758527
[email protected] is normal.

>>55758617
If you have a small screwdriver and aren't a complete spastic, you can pretty easily replace a "non removable" battery when it dies. You just can't do it very conveniently on the go to swap between batteries when one goes flat.

I've been seeing more games and apps going to tablet. How long or hard is it to comprise an APK of something? I am wondering this cause I want the Sims Complete collection on my tablet. I've heard they are working on Wine for android but I've not heard a lot of news on this in a while. I heard there's a prototype out tho

>>55758559
Here's my honest suggeastion DON'T W10 it. It's bloatware to hell.
What you want to do is get rid of GWX.exe

how to do this:
> get http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/
>run it
>open Task manager
>find GWX.exe (get windows 10)
>open file location
>now close GWX.exe in Task manager
>goto folder, go back 1
>find folder of GWX.exe
>right click folder and click "take ownership"
>delete folder
you will no longer have this issue. If you do, just do this again

>>55754071
yes, you can extract just the .exe
the other things were just put there for fun, and serve no purpose whatsoever

>>55758651
For instance, somebody told me !anonymous @ IRCnet

But no combination of what I've tried works in the server URL field of HoloIRC.

>>55758654
No, just no. There is no PC game to APK conversion. Something like Wine could be possible, but it would have to run everything through user-mode Qemu anyway so it would be really slow. And basically never mind 3D acceleration, that isn't happening.

Best you're getting is DOS games or really old Windows games in a PC emulator.

>>55758541
It is probably printing control characters. I don't know Ubuntu's terminal at all though

>>55754071
BTW, if you put the DLLs in the same folder as the exe, you can run it without installing the DLLs into the system. Windows looks in the current dir and then system dirs for needed DLLs, so putting DLLs in the exe folder can be used to fix DLL version conflicts too.

>>55754305
a therapist, perhaps?
or maybe just watch some shows about morbidly obese people, and remind yourself of what could happen

>>55758691
This is correct. It's printing the codes the key combination types. There's nothing running in the terminal that eats those key combinations and gives them a meaning, so you see the codes.

>>55758684
Well I knew it wasn't possible as a conversion of course. I'm just wondering how much different it is is all.
Do EXE files work on Windows 8 Mobile tablets?

I have an AM3+ mobo and 6300. I would like to rip out the mobo, cpu, and gpu of my computer and replace them with intel componets. Will I have to buy a new power supply?

>>55757230
...I've messed around with the code a bit, but still no answer in sight

>>55754483
i'd recommend just getting an enclosure + an internal hdd, it's often cheaper and it gives you more options

as for filesystem, that depends on a few things
if it's just going to be used in linux, then ext4 or btrfs are good choices, fat32 is the most portable, but the 4G filesize limit can be a problem in some cases, ntfs is a reasonable choice when using linux and windows (if you primarily use linux, then you could consider instead installing an ext4 driver in windows to access ext4 drives)

>>55758678
!anonymous is the room. IRCnet is a big conglomeration of servers.

Try /server with one of these urls: http://irc.tu-ilmenau.de/all_servers/?focus=0 (e.g. irc.atw-inter.net)
then /join !anonymous

>>55758642
>Money mostly, my note 4 has been running strong still, and the newer phones that have been coming out haven't been all that much of an improvement spec wise compared. Don't see much point to lay down so much cash for a minuscule improvement.

I feel the same way. Plus, I don't always upgrade that frequently. I always pay cash upfront for my phones so I don't have to deal with contracts, so when I am done with a phone I want to put in a new battery and hand it down to family or friend.

>>55754305
>>55758702
It's hard, but try finding things that don't involve stuffing your face, that you can do to take your mind off your desire to eat more.

I've also found that doing a few things almost daily helps a ton:
>Exercise. It can even just be a 30 minute walk.
>Cut out caffeine and alcohol, they do the opposite of help.
>Meditate. Yes, really, it helps with lots of mental things. It's not that intimidating to do simple meditation either. Relax, focus, and let your mind settle. Skip the new age religious woo-woo baloney.
>Find something to give yourself some purpose. A hobby, learning, a project, something, anything you can get into and feel like you're accomplishing something.
When I do those things, I feel less desire to overeat.

>>55758716
No. Windows 8 RT only runs store apps. There are editions that run exes, but they need to be ARM exes, not x86 ones like you have on a PC.

>>55758617
>Until the battery dies. I would rather be able to swap batteries than phone.
By the time it dies it will be long after its warranty is over and the phone will be nearly worthless.
Besides batteries (outside of exploding/puffin) dont just die over night after 1000 cycles, its gradual degradation of the cells

Can anyone give me a link to a guide to overclocking video card?


So far I have pushed my Zotac 970 by 85 mhz core and memory, raised power limit to 106℅ and have a custom fan curve, but how do I make things more stable?

This seems like a good place to ask this question. Passwords. After reading around, it seems like the best strategy is to go for length, more or less, with something that isn't hugely obvious.

For example, my bank password is the names of several characters from different cartoons (also the number and symbol I'm forced to include.) It ends up being 20+ characters long, plus some of the names involved aren't really considered names by normal folk.

My thought is that being neither rich nor famous, nobody's gonna be trying to hack my account in particular, because what would it get them? (Not much) So it would just be a result of some kind of data breach. If such a breach occurs, there's gonna be a lot of passwords that crack a lot easier than mine, with a lot more money in them, on average, so I should be good to change said password when I learn about the breach before anyone messes with my meager means.

Is that a good way to think about it?

>>55758887
Different power supplies provide different amounts of power and different components take different amounts of power.

>>55758949
Depends on how they store things and the nature of the data breach

>>55758863

The AVS forums are mostly geared towards HDTVs, and anytime some fucker is trying to calibrate his PC other fuckers complicate things with "Oh well I'm also calibrating my projector, or I'm using my HDTV as a PC monitor, or I have my PC running through my monitor, through my HDTV, through a projecter, onto my phone etc."

I recently got the ASUS VS239H-P monitor, and it's default "Standard Mode" with Brightness(Backlight) set to 35, and Color Tone changed to "Warm" seems perfect. I don't even have to touch Nvidia's Brightness, Contrast, or Gamma settings because the Lagom LCD tests show that the Gamma, Brightness, and Contrast is already pretty set - which apparently is usually not the case.

Is that a known windows 10 problem? Should have mentioned I'm on it. Fuck. This never happened until I switched out all my parts. A week ago. I reinstalled windows today and it's still doing it. It also won't boot sometimes. It will start up and go to the windows splash screen, the screen will shut off for a second and flash a no signal sign, then go straight to a black screen forever. What the fuck is going on.

Going to wire my tower to my router and was wondering what kind of ethernet cable should I use. I have no idea about networking and just did a quick google search and found out there are different cable types.

Will it make a difference if I wire it with CAT7 instead of CAT5 apart from saving a few bucks? Long and short term that is.

>>55759779
It can do 10 gigabit over 100 meters
10 gigabit is not currently consumer grade but it will get there eventually, probably within the next 10 years.

>>55759779
Cat7 is technically better but will probably not show you any improvement currently at a much higher cost.

It really depends on your internet provider but ca5e is usually the way to go as it supports gigabit.

Define R5 was a much better case. Small tweaks but it adds up really quick. Problem is Fractel charges a huge premium for "muh asthetic".

Corsair has the 100R Silent at ~$60 that is nearly as good. Way better deal IMO for something that looks really damn similar.

When I used Firefox I had a plugin called "Save Image to Folder"

Basically in the settings of the plugin you could select folders and when you wanted to download an image you could choose which folder you wanted it to go in, very useful for saving reaction images, wallpapers, porn etc.

Any chrome alternatives?

I need to buy a new CPU+Motherbase next month. I don't want to spend more than 250€ in total.

I'm currently looking at this:

-Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5Ghz Box

Anyone knows a better option or is this good enough?

I have two routers, and I'm trying to see if I can use one as a WLAN bridge/repeater. The setup is fairly simple. I have one router/modem that's connected to the Internet, and I want this one to be broadcasting an SSID and doing all the normal network tasks. For the other one, I want it broadcasting another SSID; however, this one passes on all the traffic to aforementioned router/modem without introducing anything to it.

I'm aware that it could be done the other way round, but I don't want it to work like that. Is what I want possible? If so, what's a general way of going about it? I have some documentation to which I can appeal, but it only works for the reverse of what I want.

i made a hackintosh but sound doesn't work. I'm using monitor speakers connected to a gtx 660 with a displayport cable. what kexts/drivers do i have to install?

I just downloaded an iso file

what the fuck do i do to mount it on windows 7?

I have a stack of beatup laptops and a working netbook, the others do not.

Between them all, could anything be sold for parts?

The netbook has mint on it. If I install windows 7 back on it, think I could sell it?

I plugged something into my power strip and it blew up. I had two other appliances plugged into it. What might have happened?

By blew up, there was a loud pop, the laptop power supply I plugged in was destroyed, could smell burning and there is something rattling inside the power adapter part of the charger that was not rattling before. Everything else on the power strip is fine and nothing happened, I've not the balls yet to test the socket I plugged it into. Was the laptop charger faulty? I just bought it, but it was cheap and from the internet.

What's some cool tech related shit I could buy for around $350.00?

First off, talk to a psychiatrist or therapist. A therapist will be more beneficial for you than a counsellor, since counselling mainly helps dealing with problems that cannot be fixed (eg. divorce, death of a loved one) whereas therapy is all about finding a way around the problem and getting rid of it. Honesty is key during therapy.
In the meantime, do things that take your mind off eating. Eating is generally a coping method for other issues (such as anxiety or depression) so you want to stay active in order to keep the thoughts at bay. If possible, try to spend time doing things you enjoy. Could be playing an instrument, doing art, getting exercise, spending time with friends etc.

Good luck, anon.

>>55754889
As a psychology student, binge eating disorder is very real. It tends to be an unhealthy coping mechanism for other disorders like depression and anxiety. Some people listen to music to help mask their emotions, some draw, some play video games, and some just eat. And it's pretty hard to control since you fall into the trap of thinking you're helping yourself. You then associate your negative emotions/feelings with eating and compulsively eat every time you feel that way, almost as a routine, which develops into its own disorder over time.
Don't be so quick to dismiss others' problems.

Is there a difference between DBAN and Samsung's Secure Erase option in Magician? I want to clear the drive completely, wipe all data and partition data etc., so the SSD is like it just came out of the box. I've read that SSDs shouldn't be zero'd out with things like DBAN. Is it just a matter of extra wear-and-tear, or does DBAN simply not work with SSDs?

Don't use a router as a repeater. Don't use repeaters in general. They suck, they reduce your network's bandwidth by half, and they tend to cause interference in general. You can use the second router as a receiver and connect devices to via ethernet, or you can connect the 2 routers via ethernet and use the second router as a wireless access point set to a different channel. Don't try to send and receive wirelessly on the same device.

this code is the one you find on laptops.

>>55763330
Yes, just download the windows 10 disk and clean install, then enter that key when it asks for one

>>55763264
There are case fan connectors on your motherboard.
They are labeled and should not be hard to find.

>>55763370
Would that key be bound to my hardware once I do it?

>>55763386
If that sticker was attached to that device, the key was already bound to the hardware. What you're doing is using that key to get you a keyless entitlement for 10 which is also bound to that hardware.

Okay.

that was my old laptop's key it had W7 Home Basic.

On my desktop I used W7 Home premium and activated it using daz loader.

I upgraded my daz loaded W7 Home premium to W10 without using the old laptop's key.

I think it's working now I guess though I didn't get to see this page's info before I entered my home basic key into it.

If I buy a cheap pre-paid phone locked by same provider, can I just chuck my current sim in there no problem??

>>55759587
Don't the lenses or something wear out over time, and in return give your different calibrations than what you would have gotten when it was new? Same issue usually arises if you rent a Spyder 4 or something from a photography shop as opposed to a Spyder 5.

>>55763646
Pre-paid isn't the right word for what you're talking about. What is your carrier?

>>55763555
Nice trips.
So if I managed to use the W7 Home Basic key that I have to upgrade to Windows 10 Home now, does that mean I can no longer use it after July 29th on a fresh install?

>>55763725
No it means you don't need a key anymore.

Of course a phone locked with your provider will work.

Nah, I play pretty casually. But 1ms 144hz sounds awesome.
But I don't want to end up having a washed out screen with shitty colors and you can't compare that unless you see the monitor in real life.
That's why I'm asking if the Asus TN colors are shit or not.
If they are decent I'm ordering one right now.

which image hosts respects my privacy the most?

>>55764302
By comparison almost any TN is gonna have ass colors vs an IPS. For most things going higher than 60 just doesn't make much of a difference, especially with video content. And most games look much better with the colors. High refresh is kind of a bunk feature for most people. I mean look at console gaming...

I posted here a few days ago about a bsod problem potentially related to my psu. I have been encountering random bsod's, and Im not sure what the problem is. And the strange thing is, I always get a different error message, which makes this all the more confusing.

Here are my current voltages according to HWinfo. Nothing seems really out of whack to me, but I could be wrong. I have been monitoring them since yesterday and they havent really changed.

I think this problem is either due to my psu or my RAM. My psu is a Seasonic 650 watt, my RAM is Kingston Hyperx Fury 4GB (2 sticks, so 8 gigs).

I heart the most optimal way to test RAM is to let Memtest run for around 4 hours. I only ran it for around 30 minutes and everything tested fine. Should I test it for longer?
