Same anon from last thread with the drivers issue.

I downloaded Linux and am now able to actually connect to the internet using it. I was also told to download 3DPN while using Linux to help install all my drivers I don't currently have, but I realized it is a windows only program. what do I do with it with linux?

copy it to the windows partition

>>55808037
If you can go to a store and look at them, just get the ones with the best weight/price ratio.
I guess you could do it online, but that might be more unweildy.

>>55808062
linux drivers aren't the same ones you use on windows.
If you want more linux drivers, google your hardware and distro to find the name of the package.
Otherwise, >>55808078

Logitech Z313 are absolute entry-level pleb speakers, but they're still the best speakers I've ever had.

>>55808062
As long as you don't install 3DPN onto the USB drive as well, you should be fine.

I've recently acquired an old Mac Pro from my work (2x2.66Ghz Xeon's, hnnnnnngh....). and I've pretty much resigned to using Windows on it since the compatibility with retro-fitting it with SATA 3 and USB 3/3.1 has been ass.

Just so I don't make things complicated, I want to load the Mac OS on a small drive and use Boot Camp, but I can't decide whether OSX is worth using a new drive or not.

Should I use an 850 Evo, or should I just use an 840 Evo that I have lying around?

Really need some help here.
Currently trying to dual boot windows 10 with antergos, and I'm running into one problem. The guide says that I need to create a /boot/efi partition, but that windows already should have made one and I only need to specify that path instead of making a new one.
My issue is that I have windows 10 installed on an ssd, and I'm trying to install linux on the ssd also. However, the /boot/efi partition exists on my hard drive instead.
Do I specify the path on the different drive, or do I have to make a new one for antergos on the ssd?

READ [QUICK REPLY FUCKED]

So, not sure why, but when I go to post on 4chan using quick reply, it tells me "Error: File too large.", when I don't add any files/ images. The only way it lets me post, is if I add a valid image, meaning I can't post just text. What the fuck...

Any thoughts/ ideas?

In case you're wondering, the browser is Firefox, and I've tried doing what I can to check shit in about:config, plugins, and all javascript shit.

Why do people make chocolate covered ants? Do the ants really lend much to the taste? Ants are so small I would think it would just taste like chocolate.

So I bought a new mouse (logitech g402) and windows does not recognize it. When I go into device manager it just says the mouse I'm using is a Microsoft PS/2 mouse. I went to update the firmware on the mouse at the logitech website, and when I went to install it it asked me to please connect the device, when the logitech mouse was connected the whole time. Also the scrolling wheel on the mouse does not function. Any advice on how to fix this would be appreciated

It just says "x GB free of y GB" on my Windows 10 machine but I think I will downgrade because they won't let me pin shit to the left side of the start menu

>>55808537
That's strange. On a modern monitor and GPU HDMI should be sufficient for 1440p 60Hz.

Is the HDMI cable really sketchy or something?

Have you tried display port?

Did you get the 1070 recently? Did you install the correct driver for it? Are your nvidia drivers up to date? Have you tried changing the resolution in the Nvidia control panel?

>>55808572
I also have a g402 and when installing the firmware I just unplugged and plugged it back in while updating

>>55808572
sounds like you got a lemon desu. I have a g402 as well and I never had any issues with my computer recognizing it.
Have you installed the fusion engine yet?

Also, the scroll wheel not working sounds like a hardware issue, which is why I believe the mouse you got is simply defective.

>>55808650
hey fellow g402 user. I got a new mouse and the scroll wheel is much stiffer then any other mouse I've used. The reviews online all said the same thing too, but I feel like mine is stiffer. How is your scroll wheel?

>>55808650
not quite sure what a lemon means, but if you're saying I got a defective mouse, fuck me. What is the fusion engine exactly?

>>55808681
Kind of tough for me to comment on that without trying yours out or having a common mouse to compare it to.
I think mine is fine. I used to use a small logitech wireless mouse before and the scroll wheel on the g402 doesn't feel much different from it.

>>55808692
lemon is just a term used to describe a faulty or defective product. More commonly used for cars I think.

Fusion engine is the logitech utility that let's you adjust the dpi, set macros, etc.
I think it's worth trying, but if you've tried the fusion engine and updating the firmware and there are still issues it is almost certainly a hardware problem.

Didn't see this new thread, but.
>>55808649

>>55808711
That's an interesting error. What OS version and gpu driver version?

It could be GPU related as you speculated. When writing drivers for PCI devices and such you tend to use a section of memory to address the device.

Is the second address in the memory error the same every time?

driver version is 10.18.13.6881

and not sure if it's the same, will run arma 3 again and see.

>>55808554
Probably because the pizza/ant ratio was very high so you didn't have much of a chance to taste the ants. I think with chocolate covered ants they can use a big clump of ants with a thin coating of chocolate so you can taste them better?

>>55808775
Its not on the mouse page you get it from the support section where you download the drivers for the mouse

>>55808793
I have the surface 3, will run civ v nicely on low settings to preserve more battery. I use it mostly to draw and browse the web in bed. pretty great.

>>55808775
Here is the link. Select your OS and download whatever you need http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/g402-hyperion-fury-fps-gaming-mouse#download

>>55808800
You should run a memtest to be safe in case it actually is memory corruption. Is this a totally new build or did you never have errors before and just recently upgrade to the 1070?

The other option I can think of is some sort of corruption of Windows system files or drivers. You could try a windows "System File Check" to see if that's the case.

Can someone answer me this, I have my SSD installed, it's my boot drive that has W10 on it. The second drive I have is a HDD which I want to use to store all my stuff that doesn't need fast accessing, but the thing is that when I boot my PC, the HDD isn't recognised, ever.

I opened it up and moved it to a different SATA port on my mobo and after a restart it showed up, but then I turned it on today and it doesn't show up, not even in BIOS. I changed the port that it connects to on my mobo, but not the port that the HDD connects to, would that be the issue causing it, cause I have no other clue on how to get it to constantly show up everytime I power down and boot up my PC again.

>>55808824

why should i install linux? what are the pros/cons?

Is there a way to filter by date, specifically by year using Searx or DDG? I don't see the option.

>>55809917
Cons is clearly less games.
If you don't play a lot of recent games or don't use specific creation suites like video or audio creation, I think Linux is a way better choice.

is endbranch going to do anything to rop gadgets at all besides make you scan for endbranch bits that will lead to your gadget targets? it's like rop is dying and people are bypassing dep in other ways so it's probably too little, too late.

I bought a used Gigabyte Windforce R9 290x from ebay about 5 months ago and it was working fine up to just recently. I began getting visual artifacts at random and now it's basically unusable. If I have it hooked up I get into Windows fine but after a few minutes I get BSOD with a different error code every time. I searched the serial code on Gigabyte's website and it's still under warranty til September but the problem is I don't have proof of purchase since it was bought used. Is there anything I can do to fix my GPU? Will Gigabyte demand to see proof of purchase before fixing/replacing it?

Possibly related, in IRC I cannot connect to rizon or freenode properly. It starts to connect, gets halfway through then just stops and won't let me join channels.

guys how do I properly format my harddrive(currently win10) and reinstall windows 10?

I have a bootable usb with win10, should I just boot into it and delete all the paritions? Will that do?

Would a Sata to Molex provide 12v so that I can power my pump through sata instead of needing molex cables which I can get rid of if this works. Thank fuck for modular psu's.

>>55813523
It can provide up to 54 watts of 12v power

>>55813641
is that enough for a corsair h105 though?

>>55813699
That's 4.5 amps
Its supposed to work off a fan header which is generally 1 amp

>>55813735
Someone was saying it's better to have the pump running off a molex/sata connector since its not a PWM pump so it has constant power.

In a monitor, having higher contrast is better, right? But what about brightness?

>>55813775
Whoever said that is retarded
The PWM pin is separate from the regular power pin

>>55813808
It's not PWM. This is a h105. It's a 3 pin connector to the pump not 4.

>>55813805
A higher contrast ratio is better but most advertized contrast ratios are bullshit
More brightness is better, especially in bright environments. You can always turn it down if its too bright

I just got 3d 4k TV and I'm making my old PC into a sort of media center. What's a good cheap 4k 3d card?

Are there any special requirements for 3d?

>>55813843
If you just mean 3d movies not really, a good cpu is the main factor. If you want to render games in 3d at 4k you'll want two GTX 1080's

>>55813874
No not at all, I just want the movies. I'm just really unsure about 3d. I never particularly wanted it, but I may as well try it.

My current GPU just canny physically output at 4k so I want a reasonably cheap one. Although if it can run pre 2008 games at 1440 that's a bonus.

i had test mode on to increase my mouse polling rate but now i want to disable it

bcdedit /set testsigning off
brings up an error message, it doesn't find BCD
how can i disable test mode or get a BCD?

>>55813885
GTX 1060 maybe, but running 1440p on a 4k screen is not ideal due to scaling issues
4k is double 1080p in both dimensions so it would upscale 1080p fine, 1440 does not fit cleanly

>>55813921
Right, my mistake. I didn't think that through properly. Just for films then.

1. Copying files to external HDD, then copying it back to another PC.

2. Copying files to the other PC throreugh network share?

What are some important software that exclusively use CUDA and not also OpenCL?

Thinking of buying a card but I have stuff like AutoCAD, photoshop/illustrator/Zbrush/etc.

Might be recommending a card to a friend too and he works in architecture so rendering is important.

I have a question about FoxPro (Though it might fall under SQL) and im struggling
Here is my Goal:

Within a FOR LOOP, separate a large table into multiple little tables grouping by CustomerID
Here is my code:

 
For n = UniqueCust
SELECT n CustKey FROM CustIDArray INSERT INTO CURSOR CustHold 

UniqueCust is a count of how many distinct CustomerID's are in my table I am querying
CustIDArry is a Cursor with one field in it, CustKey that is a list of all the distinct Customer ID's.

Essentially I want to use n to point at the row inside CustIDArray, but I can't figure out how to tell FoxPro to pull a row based on row number.

I can get around it by taking the TOP 1 row from CustIDArray and then deleting the TOP 1 row from it before the next loop, but I am looking for a cleaner way.

Why does my pc freeze?

I have a 2003 pc and I installed WinXP in my HDD and everything was great.

So I tried to install Win7 and it worked. But everytime I use a torrent program, or I open too much programs or tabs(firefox) the computer just freezes.

>>55816983
You're running out of RAM
Download more RAM

>>55816983
probably your RAM getting full so stuff gets offloaded onto the HDD, which is terrible slow.
On top of that you download and write to it, so you slow it down even further.

Your 13 year old HDD just can't deal with it, so everything appears to be frozen.
Just let it run a few hours, it'll start working again eventually.

Does anyone know a website similar to torcache.net? Something which hosts torrent files, that you can download if you know a torrent's hash.

A couple of things that derive from the available IP addresses, mostly: no need for NAT, and smaller routing tables.

no more port forwarding, because every service can have its own IP address.
also multiple devices can run the same service without conflicting.

I agree, these threads have been taken over by SJWs and pussies who apparently also are incapable of even thinking about the meaning of the thread title and why it is wrong. If you think about it, stupid and small aren't the same thing; you could have a small question that actually deserves its own thread, but you can't do the same with stupid questions. This thread should be for stupid questions, but not mandatory for small ones; alternatively it could be named "Stupid (And Optionally Small) Questions Thread", /s(aos)qt/ for short.

I'm on a good mood today so i'll pretend i didn't saw that.

2.5 and 3.5 are just sizes and only matter if portability is a concern for you, since they're basically rugged regular HDDs with a power source and sata/usb female ports, 2.5s are the size commonly found in laptops and are sightly bigger than a cigarrete pack, and the 3.5s are the regular desktop sized hdds, spin speed only matters for speed of writing data and data access as well, the format depends entirely on you.

Regular external drives are durable enough if you keep them safe and dry, as long as you buy from a major brand like seagate, toshiba, WD, etc, the only major difference between external drives is if you're between choosing an expensive external SSD (which are faster, more expensive and less durable) or a regular external HDD.

On regular, consumer level they will last, however there's no reason not to pick a WD drive, unless you're stretching your budget way above your capabilities, saving 10 dollars and getting an ADATA drive is not worth it.

Also since you linked a waterproof/shockproof drive you'll also have to consider if you want a drive to leave at home for backups or for using it to carry around a massive amount of data, exposing the drive, making the waterproofing an useful feature.
If the drive is for home use, then get a regular drive, I've seen external WD drives on Amazon for less than 60 USD, but then again buy suited to your needs.

your case should already have 1-2 fans.
your cpu cooler should come with one too, that's enough if you aren't overclocking.
western digital seems pretty good, get a green/blue drive for storage and put your OS and programs on the SSD.
if you don't have an SSD then you're a fucking idiot.

>>55819059
Are you asking if you need a CPU fan or case fans??? Yes you absolutely need a CPU fan, case fans are kinda meh depending on what you're using the pc for. If you are doing anything intense at all other than shitposting you will probably need a couple case fans

>>55818874
I need a case under 16 inches to fit in my desk. How much should I be looking to spend if I want to record videos?

>>55819089
You don't need a 3rd party CPU cooler for that CPU unless you really care about silence. But you should go with something else if you want that. I wouldn't trust OCZ.

My case, according to the box, has 1 top 200m fan and 2 front 120 mm fans. It's a CM Storm.

Is an SSD THAT necessary these days? I've admittedly never used a computer that contained one, and while I'm not short on funds, I'd prefer to not waste money.

>>55819155
It's the biggest speed upgrade you can get.
I'd never touch a computer without one.

My main computer runs on SSDs only, screw waiting for anything.

seems like you will need case mini ITX case, maybe node 304?
and $750 is fine for recording shit and streaming

>>55819089
looks fine except for SSD brand and mobo
mobo seems awfully expensive for H170 chipset
and ssd has one ruel, never OCZ, popular ones are crucials and samsungs

also as always, reconsider and look for microATX build, no need all that huge case when smaller would be fine

>>55819155
Yes get an ssd. Your life will be so much better. I've retroactively installed ssd's on 7 year old computers because the difference is so nice

I'm already using firefox but my computer just froze a while ago. Do you know some browsers like Pale Moon or something?

How do ads on the WWW work?
I figured they're referenced as part of the HTML page like any other object (pictures, javascript, etc). So i looked up the source code of a website and couldn't find any section about ads.

Help ?

>>55819195
>look for microATX build, no need all that huge case when smaller would be fine

What about when considering airflow? bigger case = more dissipation of heat? I live in a warm enviroment

>using it to carry around a massive amount of data, exposing the drive, making the waterproofing an useful feature.
This, since I want to have my fap collection ready when ISIL attack

there's a billion ways to show ads, from simple images to more complex javascripts adding elements.

Yeah I thought so. Thanks

>>55819322
nah yo, it aint like that
imagine you put 2 x 140mm fans on a room, would you say that large room is well cooled?
imagine you put those 2 x 140mm fans on a shoe box.. now theres some fucking air movement...
but its still no matter much i nthe end.. all that matters is that hot air gets away and theres availability of the room temp air

often there are large cases that are worse cooled because of dead air, movement of fans just dont penetrate through, and generally the temp inside the case is bit higher

but really mid tower vs microATX is not some huge jump in sizes, there will be near zero impact on cooling one way or the other.

Ayo my computer just froze while installing an update.


Now this fucking update won't load. I already stopped Windows Update service and deleted the Downloads folder of Windows/SoftwareDistribution.


How the hell do I fix my computer?

Thanks for googling it for me, senpai.

I decided to install Windows 8.1 again

How can I get updates without being forced into windows 10?

>>55819534

>>55819553
Do you think that they won't somehow force an update for a few more days, asking people then to pay for it, then apologize and disable it?

Because this kind of shit happens more often than not.

MyDigitalLife forums?

MSDN DreamSpark?

You can search online for SHA256 values of MSDN isos, and you can just download it from any torrent and check the SHA256 yourself.

Meh, Windows 7 is still ok.
Just use "Windows 7 Convenience rollup" update, otherwise you will be stuck at updates for days.

But you can use KMSpico too, on 7.

is it the haild SP2 for win7?
the one that came out like 2 months ago?
if its that its absolute nightmare
I used it 2 times
suer enough, everything went fine until after all is said and done, I went online to check for updates after that update

it was littearlly 3 days of win update, well granted I restarted the PC after first 24 hours, but still 2 days of updates...

after that I always just install 2 updates
KB3083710
KB3102810
and let it fo online, shits done after few hours

>>55820159
> I used it 2 times
I don't know man, I used it around 15 times now, and it worked flawless every time.

1) Make sure it's a clean install, disconnect network cable, of course.
2) Install W7-Convenience-Step1-Windows6.1-KB3020369-x64
3) Install windows6.1-kb3125574-v4-x64
4) Go online, update

Without this I waited around 8 hours with an SSD fitted laptop, and in the end it started to roll back updates after installing like 100 of them... FML.

>>55820245
well I got one win7 update coming monday, so will try... cheers

>>55820159
Windows 7 updates are just broken in general. The convenience rollup doesn't impact that either way, it just reduces the number of updates you have to download initially. The updates you want to do now are 3102810 and
3138612. People also recommend 3153199. You still probably want to let windows sit overnight to download updates. If you want to do the convenience rollup follow this

Alright I updated my list to go from "good" to "superb" on logical increments, my budget is $750. I want the RX 480 GPU but it's $300 everywhere where it isn't sold out, can't find it on pc part picker or on newegg's wattage calculator. I'd like a better one desu.

How did I do?

>>55818224
Only s series have overheating problems.

Overheating is easy to fix on thinkpads (Under 55°C) just Purify and replace the old paste.

My T420 never goes over 50, it only does wheb im outside.

I'm trying to install a Linux distro on my Dell Inspiron 11 3000 and it's impossible. I've disabled/changed boot settings to Legacy/Fastboot Disabled, and I'm able to boot from the USB, but when I hit the "Try ______ without Installing" or "Install ______" option, nothing happens.

I've tried different flash drives and different methods of writing them to the drives. What am I doing wrong?

1. cpu needs to go to i5 to have any worth in upcoming years
2. scrap heatsink, not needed, can be bought any day
3. cheaper mobo, ~$60 think - GIGABYTE GA-B150M-DS3H
4. fuck the hdd if you got ssd for now

now you got money for 4 core cpu instead of 2 cores
while adding hdd and heatsink down the road will be trivial

>>55820725
>>55820670
>>55818224
- Different ThinkPads will have different CPUs.
My T500 had a P8600.

- If you cleaned the fan carefully - make sure you don't allow the fans to spin fast when you are cleaning them - and you replaced the paste ... as long as it's not throttling, you should be fine.

thats like really super retarded unless you feel your life is getting away and need to spend august playing awesome games...

Like seriously the new cards will give you almost 2x more fps

>>55820652
>>55820743
1. i3 is fine IMO. But you can indeed get an i5. The extra power consumption is negligible, and there are no big features in Skylake.
A 4xxx series i5 costs the same, and it's more future-proof.

2. Keep the sink, you will need it. It was my worst decision NOT to buy one when I bought my build. Stock cooler cannot turbo for long. With a cooler? All day everyday, baby.

3. You need the HDD. I have a normal sized game library and I can't fit on my 1TB HDD. But, if you have a HDD now, you can skip buying one now.

4. RX480 meme.
It's a shit. Vulkan is just as rare as DX12 now. This card will be obsolete by the time.

Here is my edit:
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/DmB4nn

- You can pick a different mobo, this was the cheapest. It's easy to pick one, just check what connectors does it have. Is it enough for you? Ok, it's good.

- You don't have a PSU in the build... ?

- It's a tiny bit more than the i3 build but as I said it's more future proof.

>>55820792
>>55820891
Agreed the 960 sucks.
- Wait for 1060.
- Buy a used 780 Ti (?)

I bought a 780 used, it was 150$ and it's fucking awesome.
3GB of ram sure, but meh, who cares.
Power wise it's a hungry beast, but then again, if running my PC makes me bankrupt, there are some bigger issues I have to face.

You can't ever completely disable windows 10 telemetry.
Microsoft is actively pushing towards making this ever harder to do as well - see the recent group policy change (which really insidiously simply ignores user settings altogether, without notifying the user in any way) for example.
You should not support this operating system.

ok I edited your edit. I'm going to do what I originally intended and about a 750 ti from my friend for $70 bucks to hold me off till I get a nice card. My PSU is 500watts from my old pc.

the question is, /g/, how did I do?

I niggered up a heatsink and replaced the HSF with a new one.

Doing wonders so far, but my office is also always 16°C.
