I need some help /g/ with Radeon Settings; I'm getting a 'The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)'

Here is what I have done already;

Yet I am still getting the error and it won't load - can anyone help me with this?

I bought a computer with windows 10 on it. I want to install windows 8.1 but I want to do this as cheaply as possible with out pirating. Play asia has windows 8.1 keys for 20 bucks but that seems like a scam. Is it?

Hey guys,

Can someone recommend me a good modular PSU?
500W should be enough, but 750W would be nice.
I'd like to keep it low priced.

Also, can someone tell me what a good 2TB HDD is? I'm going to be buying them used and I just wanted to know whether I should opt for WD or Seagate and what series.

If I put my 64gb in there will it still work with just half of it's space available?

Would a HDMI->DVI->HDMI conversion work?
If it did, would the final device get the audio signal?

Go to computer management, go to drive manager and removed extra drive letters/duplications you might see.

>>55765580
It would, but I would be careful about running through too many connections HDCP is kinda finicky. No, there's nothing in DVI to carry the sound.

I've been using roughly 20-25 gigs of a 64gb msd on my Moto G from 2013 that specifies 32gb. I jjst put a bit of music on it and a few vids.

The phone still works as my backup with a 32gb card in it, and the 64gb micro sd works perfectly with my HTC 10.

Which is the better download utility, aria2c or wget? Does wget have a similar feature where it can make multiple connections to the same host to speed up downloads?

What shit do you have that only uses 340? Even shitty non-gamer prebuilts use like 450-500. You're probably only calculating the minimum usage or missed something important or something.

Macbook Pros are a rare apple exception that are worth the money.
I've been buying them since the chinks ruined the ThinkPads and have no regrets.

>>55766133
Sometimes. I hear the current models are out of date but when the next gen comes out it might be worth it. Mac tends to be the most idiot proof if you don't mind a little less control overall, which most people don't. See what else is on the market too, don't just go brand.

You can use [player] and disable all the codecs and install madVR to use with [player]. [player] can be several different things specified in the madvr site; most people use MPC-HC.

Use this to burn the ISO file on to your USB drive.


>>55767541
Regular printers are garbage. Try looking for ones with laser printer. Printer technology is stuck in 19th century. Expect paper jams, ink issues, mechanical failures, etc. Scanner is, well scanner. You could simply take a picture of your stuff with high res camera from your $300+ phone, and it'd work roughly same.

>>55767490
What connections does it have? RCA?

>>55767541
If you plan on printing a shitton go with a laser printer, whatever little extra you pay in the beginning you will make back 10 fold. Try to find something that has cheap drum replacements on ebay. A flat scanner is nice because then you can scan odd objects like id if you need to. Brother is a decent brand

>>55767649
Call/text/ask for any information. Dualcore? Quadcore? Intel/AMD? etc. If its less than quadcore, lower it down to $30 due to how weak they are.

Yes it has RCA (R/Y/W) and RCA (R/W).

>>55767280
2500k is still good because it can overclock easily to 4.6 or so Ghz. Once at that level, it will rape any newer non-overclocked i7s.

Without clock, it's still fine, but they aren't worth it if the price difference between 2500 and the 2500k is small.

>>55767649
>graphics card has S-video out

Or atleast 720@60FPS?

Im tired of browsing youtube and videos freezing with my old laptop when i have the internet to do it but not the power to play them, and since It always autoselects 720p because the speed it is annoying.

I mean determining that nobody has tampered with it. It's really stupid downloading an image if you don't know what's been done to it. If you're gonna pirate, it's better to get your own tool from a reliable source and use a legit windows install. I'd just download the disk directly from microsoft

For college I'd recommend a "2 in 1" laptop. While it looks like a meme, it will help you take down notes/etc properly.

Start with ebay/amazon warehouse and hunt deals. Main priority with college laptop should be battery time. So you might need to look for one with long battery.

I haven't used a laptop in years, but here's what I think might be good for the price.

/g/ should I do a free IT support boot camp for 9 weeks or do a $12k Java/.NET one for 14 weeks. They both offer career placement and the paid one has a money back guarantee. Can't afford college and only make 11 bucks an hour

>>55767986
The ability to play 1080/720 depends on both CPU/GPU.

In laptop's case, the CPU, mainly. Laptop CPU usually come with internal gpu (iGPU). Its usually strong enough if you have a modern laptop.

T400 has Core2Duo that thing's ancient in CPU evolution. So it will have weak cpu power and weak iGPU power.

Look for a laptop with good iGPU if you want strong 1080 video playback.

Note, 1080p video on laptops are meme. Due to how small the screens are, the difference between 1080 and 720 visually are negligible. However because of the cpu in laptop are small and weak, the difference in computation requirement is massive.

>>55768205
If they both offer placement, then do the first one and see how it works. If you get good offer, then its well worth it. the 12k for Java/.NET looks like a scam.

For the first one, if you have the aptitude for technology, then you'll get more chances to learn/advance. Second one might waste your money entirely.

I have no prior experience with making tech except basic soldering, and I want an audio adapter like so:

2xRCA-in + 3,5mm-in > switch + volume knob > 6,35mm-out

>>55769267
If that Windows 10 install was cracked, then no.
You'll have to upgrade tomorrow and revert back if you want the Windows 10 license.

If you do this though, why not just stay on Windows 10 ? Clearly you aren't concerned with the botnet boogeyman if you want the license at all.

>>55769399
7, 8 or 10?

>>55769313
Yes, more so than the normal T420.
T420s is a tradeoff, it has a smaller battery and gets warmer than its bigger brothers. On the other hand, it is supposedly (I have no personal experience here, but all sources claim better compatibility with T420s for this) easier to get a good screen to work with the T420s than it is with the T420.

Fair enough.
Budget around 500 $, mainly use it for browsing the web as well as some gaming LoL, Dota , etc.

>>55769445
I'm decently inexperienced with cracking. If it's something that I do, I don't know how to do it, and if it's supposed to be something that can be accomplished using a program, I don't know which program I could safely do it with.
If you have a recommended guide for either of those ways, I could try to crack it.

>>55769499
Which version do you have currently? 7,8 or 10?
It is easy, its just 1-2 clicks.

In that case, unless you specifically want something small/thin and light, I'd recommend a (used) W series Thinkpad, series *20 and up depending on what you can afford. I'm not entirely clear on the prices on these, that's up to you to look up.

Yes, I know you were hoping for something not /tpg/ related, but for 500 buckaroos you're not getting anything new with any amount of horsepower worth mentioning, and you want something that's going to last as well, so there ya go.

how dumb would it be to just buy straight across the tier from http://www.logicalincrements.com/? how current are the recommendations? I know nothing about building PCs so I literally need to be told what to buy.

pic related, considering both tiers but I wouldn't even know if there were better pieces to swap out. my budget is essentially $1000 for the computer itself since I have to buy everything else as well (desk/chair, monitor, keyboard, etc.)

>>55769720
Thanks but I was unspecific: I already removed anything Windows 10 related with the Aegis script some time ago, but Windows 7 already has a few updates of its own that violate privacy like Windows 10, which are sometimes described as security update by Microsoft.

>>55769956
Not really retarded.
You only mix them when you are on a budget.

Get the outsanding tier, the GPU makes it worth it.

Also get the EVGA G1 over the seasonic, and buy a 850 EVO instead the sandisk Logicalincrements reccomends.

You might want to increase your budget to $1100 so you can get a CPU that can be overclocked, or if you dont are interested on that keep the locked CPU and the 212 EVO.

The fact most 2.5" 2TB externals can't be used outside their case due to the SATA-USB being integrated makes me a little nervous.

I wouldn't say I'm an audiophile but I want to have good sound quality to really get immersed in the music I'll be listening to, and the games I'll be playing.

I think my tn420's screen has messed up colors. How can I calibrate them?

>>55771688
Onboard sound card. That's been the answer for 5 years at least. The only reason to get a sound card is if you hear a hissing noise from system electrical noise. Same thing goes for a DAC. Chances are your headphones couldn't benefit from anything more, and they probably don't have enough resistance to even need an amp. Don't worry about it.

Are contemporary smartphones as powerful or more powerful than the PS4 or Xbox One?

A question about "upgrading" to Win10:

How big is the OS partition?
I want to install on a SSD that currently has the Win7 OS on it and I'm worried about complications due to there only being about 5GB of space free on the SSD. I have another 2TB HDD I use for storage that has plenty of space to download to.

>>55771851
No. Smartphones are much much weaker

Is there anyway to do Java multi-threading without using the main method? The framework im using gets wonky when I use the main.

>>55771851
theyre different. but graphically and perhaps calculatiins wise less. but modern smart phones can do many things a console cannot. for example take photos, make phonecalls, recieve and transmit data, and all sorts of other things. theyre just different.

will rms reply to my email? and what distro of linux does he run?

>>55771891
You're going to want more free space than that. W10 is smaller than previous generations, but its still going to be at least 17gb, and it doesn't delete your 7 install for a while. I would recommend backing up your important files and doing a clean install

>>55771901
i dont know but this seems like a good question for the programming thread

>>55771950
Okay. Thanks.

>>55771915
But also much less powerful. Phones are oriented heavily towards power saving, and even if they weren't we would still be talking about a difference greater than that of integrated graphics and a beefy dedicated gpu. There's really no comparison

What are my options for device-wide adblock on Android when rooting isn't an option?

Look away quickly when an ad comes up. I hate to tell people that, but its true

that was really my main point and i quite agree with you.

>>55771891

you won't have enough space

>>55771851

not by a long shot

>>55771693

get a paper card printed with accurate colours or buy an expensive device to do it dynamically

or just calibrate it to a known good monitor

(use gpu driver software)

>>55771688

if you have a motherboard made in the last 8~ years your onboard is fine so long as it's loud enough for your headphones and you don't hear hissing with headphones plugged in

soundcard versus usb: people and tards will shill for usb but cheap pci/pcie soundcards are as good and won't gimp you on latency if you ever decide to record, and will be far cheaper than a comparable usb solution

hibernate writes your ram to a file on disk (i.e., no power used), suspend to ram is the *only* other alternative (i.e., keep the ram powered)

most mail servers/clients may have a delivery notification option

otherwise it just doesn't get sent

>>55772010

root, edit host files, unroot, or see about adb sideloading /etc/hosts without root

there is no alternative

If it is a challenge I'll take that as a 'nay'

I've been thinking of leaving my mother's house because she makes a lot of noises when eating... Chewing noises, often with mouth open, drinking noises, breathing noises, etc. It just bothers me so much...

Is this normal? Will I have problems living with a wife and children?

>>55772199

>£50 buys fuck all, go for whatever has the longest warranty

Fuck really? I've pretty much always spent about that much on a hard drive. Currently got 2 Barracudas (500 and 1TB) but I bought them fucking years ago dunno if Seagate are still worth buying

How much would I have to spend for a decent 2TB drive?

What other ways other than MSconfig and ccleaner can let me see startup list?

Im dealing with reinstall windows tier malware right now.

>>55772274

Why don't just reinstall Windows then?

>>55772300
Multiple reasons, starting its not my PC.

Any change i do gets reverted, malwarebytes blocked, adwcleaner blocked, ccleaner cant be installed, etc.

Gonna try safe mode.

>>55772314
Try system restore

>>55771802
>>55772199
Thanks, I had a feeling onboard sound cards would be good enough at this point to not need anything extra.

>>55772314
Since im using 8.1 it is blocked, PC settings are blocked, reinstall is blocked.

>gibe recommendations please (for a book about how PHP works)

to learn php or to learn how php works?

to learn php you really can't go wrong but here's some lists (I don't do php, and neither should you)

http://www.fromdev.com/2013/09/best-php-books.html

o'reilly books are generally pretty good

for learning how php works (and as a result, other languages/compilers and general programming) you can't go wrong with: "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" (it's free!) but I'm almost certain that isn't what you want

>>55772264

around £60-100 for a 2tb depending on how much you want to sperge

I say it buys fuck all because it's really the low end of the scales and always has been, you might get away with a cheap 7200rpm but if you want something with a bit of cache you'll be looking at >£100

uk.pcpartpicker.com is a great tool for comparing prices like this

>>55772274

windows 8.1 has its own user settings startup shit, there may be some obscure regedit entries

do a scan in safemode or if shits dire boot a linux iso and see if clamav picks it up

>>55772476
Safemode seems affected too.

>>55772476

Fuck, why the fuck is everything so fucking expensive

>>55772529
No wait, i can open malwarebytes on safemode.

>>55772529
Do they have any restore points from far enough back?

This is the problem I was trying to fix.

>>55772628
The owner must use it even in botnet mode and must leave.

He is leaving to the US like in 25 minutes and no way i can backup and format.
I couldnt even get it to boot in safemode trough the usual ways for 8.1.

>>55772679
Sorry buddy. Even if everything went perfectly, this is not a 25 minute problem

>>55772679

In 25 all you can do is make a bootable Linux USB with persistence and let him use that instead.

clean install and activate with key

how can i rip/download exhentai galleries on windows? i don't want to use nor bother with their bullshit point system. a lot of the stuff i want to rip/download from exhentai doesn't/don't have torrents.

Trying to update Windows 8 to 8.1 on my parents laptop and the stupid piece of shit won't work.

At first it kept claiming I wasn't an administrator.

Then I finally gave up and let Microsoft do it for me, they got me to a point where it was downloading. They left me and I figured all was finally good until I got a 0x80004005 error message and a failure to install. It's also back to telling me I'm not an admin again.

Worst yet a popup keeps showing up telling me to restart to finish installing but it never fucking restarts. It just goes away when I tell it to restart now. And restarting doesn't do anything to help me.

Fuck /g/ what am I doing? I'm generally able to fix this kind of stuff but I'm really stumped.

what is the best way to compare backups?

as far as it goes right now, im thinking of running md5 as a cronjob on my raid1 nas and the same for my cloud backup (not sure what machine will host it) then cmp'ing the two results.

i have never done this before and in addition to the frustration that goes with this territory, i am presumably missing something.

thanks /summer/

Download w8.1 ISO, install windows, run MSToolkit, copy stuff back, done.

also, heres an image so that anon might actually stop and read my post.

I'll be building my first desktop soon and I'm planning to install Windows 7, already have a legit ISO ready, so which activator should I go for? Daz or MS Tool Kit?

>>55773123
Daz


https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/39qnll/guide_for_microsoft_windows_office_and_adobe/

>>55772745
they will accept even OEM keys or only retail?
Thanks for the advice, anon

>>55773146
>Reddit

>>55773123
Daz Loader but MSToolkit activates Office aswell.

Dont download it from any place other than Mydigitallife forums.
And check the SHA-1

>>55773165
They'll accept anything for activation as long as it matches the version of you disk (home premium, pro, etc).

As far as download the disk goes, you'll just have to try it. It's weird that they're more restrictive with that part, but whatever

>>55773246
so as long as I feed them my OEM key on the site they will allow me to download an ISO to put on installation media?

>>55773310
See it depend on what you mean by OEM. If a single license was bought for that computer, as if it was a custom build, then yes. If dell, hp etc made it then the code will probably not work for a download. But there are other ways of getting the disk if that doesn't work out. The main thing is being able to reactivate the install when you're done

>>55773246
anyway, thanks for the advice anon, I think this will work

they tend to obscure these directions (for a reason I suppose)

I don't use Windows too often so not familiar with their licence tricks

>>55773383
>ll, hp etc made it then the code will probably not work for a download.
aw, shit
that's what I thought OEM meant, a license that comes with the machine from the factory

>The main thing is being able to reactivate the install when you're done
yeah, as long as they let me reactivate the OEM licence I'm fine. I assume this can be done.


It's stupid how they don't let you obtain an ISO for an OEM licence yet they let you reactivate it.

>>55773429

Yeah the expectation is that you'll use the recovery partition or disks that the 3rd party company provides. Along with its bloatware. You can use this though:

Just torrent it then follow the steps to verify it hasn't been tampered with

If I take classes to gain a certificate in web design, would I be able to build a full website?

From the things I've read, it seems like I will only be able to make the site look nice but basically not function at all.

My goal is to make good looking and fully working websites for clients. Much of the site functionality will be focused on presentation more than functions though.

Where is the hot place to torrent games? I haven't been able to run anything new since like 2010 before last week so I'm out of the loop.
