Right now i could get a new GPU but im onto a stupid dilema , since i live on the third world my only choices are the r9 380x and the reference Rx 480 or the GTX960 which should i go for (my goal is 1080p gaming)

So I moved some stuff away from it, and changed the elevation of the modem and router so that the modem is closer to the ground while the router is closer to the ground. As you can see by the picture, I'm not getting 85 down on average as opposed to 100 down.

But theres also this hiccup that occurs which makes the speed dip for a bit, as one can see.What causes this?

Are Windows OEM keys legitimate? Is it safe to buy Windows keys off of Kinguin?

I mean, if I buy one of those Windows 10 OEM keys for $10, will I have a copy of Windows that Microsoft won't deactivate 4 months from now?

The reason all of the IP addresses associated with anonymity are banned here is because pedo faggots have use those IP addresses to post their shit here, thinking it's funny (it isn't). If anyone where to answer your question and post a VPN in this thread that had new IP addresses that aren't currently banned, it would be seen by some faggot lurking this thread who would use it to post cheese pizza on /b/, which would cause that IP address to be banned permanently.

Help.

My PC has been randomly restarting for the last couple weeks. There's no rhyme or reason to it, sometimes it'll reboot itself a few seconds after I turn it on, and sometimes it'll go all day and be fine. Sometimes it'll do it when it's idling, other times I'll be doing something graphically or processor heavy. No blue screen, no error messages, it just simply reboots itself.

Temps are fine, and I've cleared CMOS and updated the BIOS. I've been running 3DMark stress tests on it for the last two hours, and it was fine until I started typing this on my laptop and it did it again. All of the tests that were completed successfully came back fine.

It has to be an electricity problem, right? I'm thinking that something might be fucked up in the wall, but I've also got a pretty old UPS I have it plugged into. Could that be an issue?

I just don't get why it's so random. I would think that if it was a hardware issue the reboots would be have a pattern to them, even if it was a PSU issue. I've also got a lot of generic third party power cord extensions running throughout the case. Problem with one of them, maybe?

I've dug my old rig out of storage and I'm going to hook it up to the same outlet to see if it's doing the same shit. Try to isolate as many variables as I can.

Frustrating as shit. Anyone got any ideas?

Pic unrelated, just to get attention.

Whenever a device leaves my home wireless network, the modem starts to drop other devices in the network as well. It happens every few seconds, few seconds of normal connection, few seconds of no response pinging the modem. The problem persists until modem is reset.

I hope not. I can't afford to replace anything right now.

I got handed down a p5e3 deluxe (s775 ddr3). It has a retarded issue where restarting or reseting makes it fail post the next time. To post I need to hold the power button for 5 seconds and then start it.
I tried updating the bios (it was almost stock) but I got nowhere. The previous owner was a retarded braindead that was using a 9600gt without the 6pin plugged in and fried the top pcie slot.

I had an M5A97 R2.0 that had a similar problem.
I ended up replacing it.

So i'm an IT in the Navy.

Our unclassified/secret/top secret networks are all separate and use Windows 7 Professional.

Our unclass. and T.S. enclaves have registered Windows but our secret network just started giving us the good old expired trial message after the Network went down due to power loss during the switch from ship to shore power.

Is there any way to validate Windows without buying it? I can't authenticate it by the way through Microsoft since the secret network has external websites that aren't ".smil" blocked due to the classifications.

I've used cracking programs to validate windows 7 for myself but that will take awhile to get approved(probably disaproved) by the Information Security Officer and our Information Assurance department.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Id spend that money towards a cpu upgrade. Skylake igpus are great and kaby lake will be even better.

>>55825455
Without using dodgy third party tools, you can phone MS for each box. Other than that, I don't know.
The reason that authentication doesn't work, is probably the .smil block. You need to get the authentication servers through the firewall.

Fucking up is fun!

Either way, it keeps you busy.

There is no internal end point, single goal, final Easter egg or "You Win!" announcement in Archlinux. Therefore, eventually, almost every install will die. The only ones that don't, tend to be very conservative and very boring—and what fun is that? Thus, Arch = fucking up ∧ Arch = fun ⇒ fucking up = fun, and that's okay! It's a distro philosophy, so embrace it, own it, and have fun with it!

Most new players will fuck up their first few installs sooner rather than later; when you fuck up an install, don't feel like you don't understand the game. ArchLinux has a steep learning curve (often referred to as a "cliff"), and part of the process (and fun!) is discovering things for yourself. However, this Wiki serves as an excellent place to speed up the learning process.

When you fuck up, you can always chroot and fix it, or go visit it from a live distro.

If you're looking for more ways to lose horribly test yourself, try either installing it from source or installing random packages from the AUR.

Why not use the usual right click format thing? If it's not available, Rufus is good at forcing Windows to format a drive with a given filesystem.

But yeah I'm guessing Defraggler just asks the system to format it, so it should be fine.

>>55826406
What the hell do you think putting a surge protector between your UPS and the wall is going to do?

It would be hilarious if MS programmed it to unhook your linux distro from the storage devices, download a copy of Windows 10, and flash /dev/sda

We already have Linux installers that can run from Windows. Debian has one for download at goodbye-microsoft.com.

This could be goodbye-rms.com. And yes it's quite doable... shrink or delete the last partition, raw write a zipped Windows image there, then expand it over the rest of the drive. Something of the sort should work, at least.

>>55826584

>>55826550
Well it's probably got shitty sine waves, but it also probably doesn't matter. I doubt sandwiching your USP in surge protectors is going to do shit though

>>55826537
Yeah. I think it defrags exFAT using Windows defrag APIs, so it's Windows handling the actual data moving, not Defraggler. So that should be safe.

If Defraggler were handling moving chunks around like '90s defrag programs did, I'd be worried unless they specifically said exFAT was fully supported.

>>55826584
>Use ext4 and never defragment your external drive again
more like. I've run an ext4 filesystem for 6 years now, nearly 100% full a lot of the time, with enough writes and deletes, and it is still something like 0.2% fragmented. Meanwhile FAT, NTFS and HFS+ all get fairly fragmented from a lot less.

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 for example.
Even if you yourself are not concerned about the data collection, you still expose information about your friends and family via Microsoft's aggressive surveillance methods.
You should not use, support or endorse this operating system.

The spyware has been backported to Windows 7 and 8.1 as well.
You can much more easily remove it though - all it takes is uninstalling the related updates.
You can find out which via a quick google search for 'telemetry updates for windows 7 and 8.1', and then hiding them in Windows Update.
Don't forget to check for these every month or so, as Microsoft can push out new updates anytime that can reinstall the spyware.

not that hard anon. oh also
>if you dont already own another buy a batter and put it in see if battery's the problem

>>55828437
You should get one that's compatible with your phone, because otherwise you're up shit creek without a paddle. Google the name and exact model of the phone and roms.

Even if there aren't any ROMs available, you can still root the stock ROM and do things like move apps to system, uninstall system apps, or backup/restore versions of apps.

>>55828441
Yeah I already opened it up and disconnected and reconnected the battery to make sure it wasn't shorted. Everything looks ok though. Will the tech shop charge me to take a look at it? I don't have any money so I can't buy another battery either.

>>55828503
i dont know anon it depends on the shop. but you cant be that broke they're like 20 bucks for a new battery. if not then i don't know. try checking the os's crash log maybe it can tell you something though i doubt it

>>55828498
From the guide I saw, it seemed like I could grab just any ROM and install it. I found one for my model that seems pretty good. Thanks.

So after a night of drinking, my girlfriend got really sick after we got home, and she has now been napping for about 20 mins to a half hour. Problem is she's on the couch. Should I take her up to bed, leave her on the couch, or let her nap for about a half an hour and then take her upstairs?

I've got a bunch of music that I want to move to my phone, unfortunately a lot of it is in various, unsupported formats like .flac, .wma, .acc and the like. Are there any programs that can convert from one format to the other without me having to convert each song automatically?

>>55829035
yes anon thats how gpu's work pcie works :^)

>>55829069
Yes of course.
Foobar with LAME for example is what I use

new r9 fury x for just under $360 USD y/n

coming from a gtx 670

in 4chan x i made thread updater and thread stats 'float' instead of being in the header and i moved them to the top corner of the screen. you can move them by hovering the mouse slightly above but now they are at the absolute top and i can't go 'above' them without hovering into the toolbar so i can't move them at all. i try reset their position by setting them back into the header and out again but it doesn't work.
any ideas on how to move them?

>>55829077
That's what I'm asking. What is the purpose if PCIe gens if not bandwidth?

>>55824728
Can I put part of my server like mysite.com:8000 using ipv4, and another part of it like mysite.com:8001 using ipv6?

I'm not talking about listening for the user's address, I'm talking about if I someone got the ip of my server one would be complete 6 and the other complete 4.

>>55829151
only very highend cards will be bottlenecked by a 2.0 slot.
you can even run a 1080 on it and the difference will be minimal, if even measurable.

>>55829151
anon i cant tell you that if you dont tell me what gpu you are using. some aren't quick enough for either of them to make a difference and others have a slight impact. anyway here you go. https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Impact-of-PCI-E-Speed-on-Gaming-Performance-518/
so basically unless you're an autist that cares about 0.2 fps go ahead. try to look for more benchmarks for your card or cards similar to it see how they fair up. every card really is different

>>55829169
sure you can.
you could run both on port 8000 too, given the second would be listening on the ipv6.

to connect with the IP alone you need to know the ipv4 to connect to the first service and the ipv6 to connect to the second.
you cannot connect to the first service with the ipv6.

I'm using apache and php.

I need to get_file_contents of a google drive video in ipv4 on mysite.com/ipv4.php and in ipv6 on mysite.com/ipv6.php

Here's what I'm doing, ripping docs videos and putting it into video.js

http://vidya.ga/embed/?v=1

Githubs timing out on me but when i use a proxy it works (but wont let me dl stuff). What do? Firefox

>>55829457
I don't understand how making a difference between ipv6 and ipv4 is relevant for you when you fetch a file from a different server?
drive.google.com has a A and AAA DNS entry, so if your server runs on ipv6, it'll connect to drive.google.com on ipv6, otherwise on ipv6.

everything is done by php/your server, you don't need to manually distinguish between the two.

>>55829489
Did you by any chance try to download a bunch of shit at once?

My firewall does that to me sometimes when I enter the wrong database password and it puts me in a loop that pings the shit out of my server.

>>55829513
I do need to distuingish between the two.

file_get_contents grabs from docs with my site's binded IP address.

I need to grab ipv4 video links on my ipv4 address to feed it to ipv6 users, and visa versa. That's how you get around their links that are tied to people's IPs

>>55829513
>>55829513

Did not work

>>55830050
Anon I'm going to give you some advice then, and take it as you want:
I maybe 24 and have no kids but if there's 1 thing I've learned about teenagers is that you cannot be suttle with them. Specially girls. You know woman by now. Clearly, you have a daughter. Talk to her straight up and tell her you know. If you even hint at being wrong, she will call your bullshit. I know this cause I know far too many teen girls unfortunately. Meaning most of them are idiots (no offense to your daughter anon). If she wants to be a camwhore, the best option is to block it on your router with a password. Then jump IPs which is all basic and simple. The only thing I can say is give her the freedom to do whatever but keep an eye on her. The issue with parenting IMO is when a parent tries to hard to control their child's life. I've watched this happens from my uncle's side when he tried to make his daughter do everything he wanted her to do. Went to court, she claimed he touched her, even had a hole in the wall. Got both kids taken away from him. Both teens at the time. both adopted around birth/toddlerhood(?).

Hope my advice is useful. Take it as you wish anon.

>>55830083
I hear code academy is good to try out. but honestly, it's a tiny bit pointless, it's like bieng another music artist when we have 8 million people already making hit singles. You're just gonna be another sand in the desert basically. People talk about getting into computers, fixing them, coding them, building them and so on but really it's pointless. If you're looking into it as a career, don't. But it's up to you anon.

Word of advice, don't be a sheep cause the rest are. You may not even be hired as a coder anyways.

Lookup how to 'refresh' your windows install.
It should pretty much be a fresh install after that.
Do that and then do the wipe free space thing.

Or, backup the keys, d-ban and re-install with proper keys.
meh, either one should be the same

2. Is there a way to only backup my OS?

3. I assume that what I'm supposed to do in case I format my drive is :Reinstall W7 using a CD/Zip-diskette, Go into the B&S tab in the CP, Restore for the WinZipper file to get all my files back. Is this the correct procedure?

Both of my hard drives appear to have been fucked at once.

From what I remember, windows doesn't like it when you just change hard drives with another computer because it might get the serial numbers of the hardware and check them.
Or, maybe it's just an incompatible version of windows.
If you have more than one connector for hard drives, put them in and boot normally, otherwise put one in and boot from linux on a usb drive to look at that shit.

Provided it's all running smoothly, what would I need to do to get it browsing sites like 4chan with Windows 3.11?

>>55831250
you still don't make any sense what you're trying to do.
who is "they"?
why would it raise suspicion?
it's your browser, you know you logged in there already.

do you want multiple users to use the same profile?
if so, that's a fucking dumb idea to save passwords anyway

Kek. Only someone old enough to miss 95 would get that joke

>>55831360
This version, specifically is 47.0

But.. I've tried it on my local profile that is dev edition. and it seems to work fine. I don't think it's changed much from version to version, or, at least not enough for me to notice.
>>55831369
no problem

>>55831399
frankly after looking into the process of making this file editable and useable once again it seems like more work than play.

Why are you so sure that this file specifically holds the necessary code? You don't need to indulge my question but is where settings are saved including "about:config" stuff?

>>55831440
The file controls some of the UI.. not really in the scope of about:config
You don't have to do half of the shit like installing whatever
just un-zip it, .ja files are really just .jar which are really just .zip
kek
then you edit what you want, re-zip and name .ja
done
honestly, it's not hard at all I'm just not familiar enough with firefox to know how every bit of the UI works

Maybe I could save the settings manually to ignore the prompt but I don't know how to search for something that specific..

Scratch that, go Opera 3.62. You still won't get javascript support, but you will get "street cred". There's probably a good linux distro out there that's better suited to your needs

Is 95 what you really need for Internet connection, or is it just a matter of finding an appropriate browser?

I'll need to acquire some kind of ethernet card as well, of course, and personally I'd rather stick with 3.11 if I can for this.

Also would it be worth getting some kind of COAST for it? 256k or 512k of L2 cache seems like it'd give a nice performance boost.

I'm a huge user of the FB messenger app bit it keeps messing message order for whatever reason, is there a decent alternative on Android?

>>55831783
buy the cheapest one which will be getting iOS 10.

I activated Windows 8.1 with Windows toolkit then upgraded to Windows 10 and then finally clean installed Windows 10.
Just how valid is my "Digital Entitlement" and will Microsoft ever deny me Windows?

If I connect my usb dac to my laptop it gets detected properly but on my odroid it gives me the following:

[  818.414702] usb 1-1.1: new full-speed USB device number 8 using dwc_otg

What could be wrong?

You can't ever completely disable windows 10 telemetry.
Even if you try to filter it off at the router level, you're still fucked if you use more than your home connection.
Microsoft is actively pushing towards making this ever harder to do as well - see the recent group policy change for example. They _will_ break whatever workaround you use.
Even if you yourself are not concerned about the data collection, you still expose information about your friends and family via Microsoft's aggressive surveillance methods.
You should not use, support or endorse this operating system.

The spyware has been backported to Windows 7 and 8.1 as well.
You can much more easily remove it though - all it takes is uninstalling the related updates.
You can find out which via a quick google search for 'telemetry updates for windows 7 and 8.1', and then hiding them in Windows Update.
Don't forget to check for these every month or so, as Microsoft can push out new updates anytime that can reinstall the spyware.

What's a good mini laptop and are mini laptops usable for learning programming?

alright can someone help me out here
I've got a new router, linksys ea9500, and I'm having problems.
Everything connects to it just fine except my fucking laptop
The only thing it can connect to is the guest network. I've tried hard wiring it in and that did not work as well. I'm at a loss.
I'm running arch as well

I've a problem with sound only coming through my right earphone. I'm pretty sure it's a software problem because I noticed exactly when it happened browsing youtube videos. I'm on a laptop running Ubuntu and the headphones were connected by a USB audio adapter because the regular audio input was fucked. I'm pretty sure the problem now is software because I heard this change happen and nothing was bending or moving. Tried unplugging then plugging in again. Tried shutting down and starting up again. Now my pleb brain is out of ideas. Help me /g/. Where do I start?

Firstly, what the fuck? What is this bullshit? Holy shit, I literally lost over a year's worth of work all because of linux. Fucking garbage trash, never again.
Secondly, what tools can I use to try to recover the data? Thankfully I didn't fall for the SSD meme.

I'm about to build a computer, but I have the feeling I'm doing it wrong. I already have to pay about 1.3k euro's for something that doesn't even have an SSD or an audio card.
But just the graphics card (gtx 1060) and CPU (i7 6700) push the budget already well past the 700 euro's.
