I turned off my display on Windows - just the display, computer was still on and not sleeping. I left and got back and just pushed keys trying to get my PC to wake up because I thought I put it to sleep.

Now all my title bars and menus have incredibly big fonts. What happened and how to fix?

>>55908208
Control Panel > Display

Check the font size of the title bars. Default is 9.

What's the cheapest laptop I can get in Australia that can do all this:

>run Arch GNU/Linux
>not die from hardware issues (for at least 5 years)
>last at least 5 hours on battery

Bigger hard drive and 2-4 GB RAM preferred

>>55908445
That's like any netbook now-a-days.

How the fuck do you people say that wine + playonlinux works?
I'm currently dual booting windows 10 (for muh games) and antergos for everything else. Someone told me to check out wine and if I can run my games through that I won't need windows at all.
Well it turns out that wine won't work on programs that are on different drives than the one Linux is installed on.
I have a 240gb ssd that I have partitioned in half for Linux, and my games are all stored on a 1 tb hybrid drive.
Am I just missing something here or is there actually no way for me to run those games through wine?

I don't update as frequently anymore because it breaks more things than it helps so I use an old version with FT DeepDark. Pretty cool and elegant.

What's the best android app player for windows or linux at the moment? I wanna play some Android games on my computer.

I've heard it's Bluestacks or Nox, but, both kind of concern me. The former cause I read it apparently wants me to install its shitty app of the day type of thing if I don't fork up cash for it and I can't really find anything on Nox either. So I'm just curious if someone could point me in the right direction, or tell me more about the two I mentioned here. Thanks.

Moko dark or whatever called.
The guy has several themes for different websites and I'd you use them it makes browsing look much more aesthetic.

As soon as I figure out how to rice Linux I'm going to model that after his theme also.

Should i put 8 GB ram and an SSD in my old ASUS U31f for $54, or just buy a new laptop?

>>55909031
Unless the ram is under 4gb, the CPU is probably going to be the biggest bottleneck.
If it has a decent CPU then just go for the ram and ssd.

>>55909052
Ram is 4 GB, cpu is some i5 480m i think

>>55909066

You should be happy with an ssd in that, assuming you don't want to do a hell of a lot more than browsing/movie watching/typing. Wouldn't bother with the ram

>>55909066
I think you should go for both the ssd and ram upgrades if you play any games on that laptop. If not, just monitor your ram usage for a bit and if it isn't going above 3.5 then skip out on the memory.
You will definitely enjoy the ssd though.

>>55909083

Thing is its my uni laptop, so ill be running a bit of matlab at least off it, and the ram is $27 a stick

>>55909097
I've never really used Matlab, so I can't comment on its performance.
Like I said before though, just use your laptop and monitor the ram usage. If it never gets close to 4 then don't bother upgrading, otherwise go ahead.

How exactly do files depreciate? They remain the same over time, don't they? Is it that we keep moving our technology in a way that doesn't care for compatability of older things, or is that something completely unrelated?

I bought an at2020 and like an idiot I didn't buy the USB version.

So if I bought a phantom power unit to connect the microphone via a XLR M to F and a F to 3.5mm, can I plug it into my front panel 3.5mm microphone port? Or only into an audio card?

>>55909131
What do you mean? Formats and standards? If so then yes kinda what you say but compatibility is always a big deal though sometimes not worth the hassle.

FT Deepdark. Gives a dark Firefox theme that doesn't look like dogshit and supports a lot of plugins.

>>55909750
Could be any number of things. All we know is that it's not finding a windows install. Very possibly the boot files are just messed up. What you need is either a windows 7 install disk or some sort of repair utility. If you don't have a copy of 7, I reccomend making a recovery disk with macrium reflect on another computer and booting to that.

I have a jailbroken iPhone running 9.3.3

I can download the Fortune 4chan client's free version and it runs fine, but Cydia refuses to let me download the paid version, saying it's not compatible for my system.

Did the creator just decide to update the free version and not the paid version? What gives? I just want to get rid of the ads ;_;

>>55909843
no i didnt man.

>>55909847
Depends on what you're using it for. For torrents almost any paid VPN will work. For other things it's really about how much you trust an entity who you'll never meet and who probably doesn't have to report to anyone. There are lists every year or so of the most recommended ones. Never use free. Just don't do it.

Back when HTML5 video was kinda new in Firefox, Firefox sometimes refused to go fullscreen completely. It put the video as big as the webpage was, you had to press F11 to make it fullscreen manually.
I hated that, now I want that back, as I have a tiling wm now. Having to manually zoom in or our the streaming page is unnecessary when I basically could have back that old fullscreen mode.

Anyone know how to get it back?

I'm a huge cuck for Apple, but I'd say wait another month and buy an iPhone 7 when it comes out. If you bought an 6s now you'd be kicking yourself this time next month. I'm probably gonna get one, my iPhone 5s is starting to show its age...

There's a couple different ways. Over a long period of time the electron spin that holds the data on your HDD decays and the data is lost. Most of the time the firmware on the drive can predict and recover the data but if a HDD is off for 10+ years you can expect the data to be corrupted. The data on SSDs is much more volatile, taking only a couple years of not powering on to be lost.

I have a desktop with a 2 TB hard drive and a 128 G ssd that runs Windows 7 and it's mostly for gaymes but also schoolwork. Along with this I have my ThinkPad that is running arch at the moment. I'm looking for an external hard drive and I don't know what size. I'd really just be backing up schoolwork and my linux partitions.

I've been trying to remux some raw Blu-ray BDMV's into MKV files. This usually works out, but sometimes all the episodes of an anime will be put into one .m2ts container or the playlist read by MKVToolnix's GUI will cat them into a big stream. I'm just not sure what I should do to separate anything, since I can't get MKVToolnix to split by chapter unless I build my own chapter file.

Is it a bad idea to go for an ex display laptop? I still get a years warranty and whatnot.

There's some unix software I want to run on my Android phone (from the cli or otherwise). But of course, Android doesn't natively offer a lot of important unix tooling, so I'm likely to get lost in dependency hell.

This is the first time I will be using Linux outside of an VM, so I am not really sure what problems I can expect to run into.

Not difficult at all.
Just make sure to install the bootloader on the linux SSD, that should be the default action for the installer but still pay attention.

Should I shrink the SSD partition in Windows before I start installing Linux? Going to start out with Ubuntu if that matters.

>>55912572
Because they store your passwords in plaintext on their servers and their database tables break if the strings are too long.

On such a website, use "password" as your password, since it will be just as secure as anything else.

I have a pretty dumb question,
does WINE have botnet libraries that would allow virus-like features?

>>55914060
The answer to that is "maybe".
Wine itself is open source so it's unlikely to be a botnet. However, if you install Windows DLLs to get stuff to work, you have proprietary Windows code on your system.
And if Wine were run with admin privileges, Windows malware could conceivably modify your system.

Can I get some I.T. support before I call my provider - a last ditch attempt before I have to follow them through their dumb script before getting any help.
A while back I was having major disconnect issues on every game I played; play 2 minutes - dc, play 2 minutes - dc, etc. etc. This issue was fixed when I fouind my ping to my router was going kinda crazy pretty often, so I switch to ethernet using powerline adapters and all is well.
That is until recently, where the problem has come back. Ping to everything is constant and stable, yet I'm still dc'ing every few minutes from games (i,e, Overwatch and CSGO as wewll as Discord)
Another thing, this problem happens simultaneously throughout my house, so when I had 2 computers both playing csgo at the same time, they would also DC at the same time.
I've been told by someone it could be a dodgy router, but I want to call my shitty provider before spending the money to replace it.

You can do everything backup software does manually (compressing, encrypting, doing incremental backups, etc.) but backup software makes it more convenient.

>>55915997
Doing it your way, you get one snapshot of your data that you can revert to.
Backup software can do incremental backups, which means you copy everything over once, and then you add more snapshots where only the changes since the last one are saved. It gives you several different points to revert to without using up a lot more disc space. And the whole process can be automated so you don't forget it.

Okay. Not as lost now. But I do have one question: What am I doing wrong?

I have the user input a multiple of 8 (for the subnet mask) and store it in a vector of type "byte" (I have the statement somewhere in my program:

 using byte = unsigned char

)
But when it runs, the program outputs the value "/377" which I've read is octal for 255

    std::cout << "Please enter the subnet mask" << std::endl;
    int subMask;
    std::cin >> subMask;
    std::vector<byte> subnetMask = {0, 0, 0, 0};

    if(subMask%8 == 0) //If it's a valid subnet : "Classful addressing prescribed only 3 possible subnet masks (8, 16, 24)
    {
        int subCounter = 0;
        for(int i = 0; i < subMask; i+= 8)
        {
            subnetMask[subCounter] = 0xFF;
            std::cout << "SUBNET MASK AT " << subCounter << " is " << subnetMask[subCounter] << std::endl;
            subCounter++;
        }

All software is made of instructions, and those instructions tell it what to do, how to fend off viruses and hackers, and they determine which new features you get or which old ones you might loose. If your instructions don't include the more recent protections for new viruses, you are more vulnerable to those things. People can change features you don't want by adding changes to those instructions. Lately Microsoft has been adding instructions that tend to add advertising, take away personal controll, and cause more of your information to be shared against your will, so people are trying to fight back and determine which updates they take, which is hard and not always possible on windows 10.

need a dvi-d to vga adapter that supports resolutions up to 1920x1440

I used teracopy in Mini XP(Hiren's Boot CD) to copy 300GB of important files to a new hard drive. I couldn't find them until I used Windirstat to map all of the data and it says that all of the files are in "C:\found.000" how do I get them out of there and into a normal folder?

Hmm, I'm trying that but when I try to download the 2015 update nothing happens, it just says "thanks for downloading" despite nothing actually downloading.

>>55919085

Manually download and install:

microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=47351

then

If you're cool with taking pretty much every update in the last 5 years at once and not being able to uninstall them individually, then you can install the "Convenience Rollup" in between the other two, which is like a SP2 for Windows 7 and will save you some time and reboots.

It's a two part process:

http://www.howtogeek.com/255435/how-to-update-windows-7-all-at-once-with-microsofts-convenience-rollup/

I also suggest disabling IE entirely from Windows Features before you begin, but be sure you have another browser downloaded first.

>>55919179
You only need the servicing stack if you're taking the convenience rollup

Are matte monitors alright in a dark room, or should I stick with a glossy (since the advantages of mattes is lost in a dark room)?
(at a ~$130 price point)

Bought a domain to stick on my dedicated server to have a play about with, currently trying to configure access.

Trying to get it that the IP address resolves to /var/www/html and that the domain resolves to /var/www/html/[folder].

How should my virtual hosts be set up in Apache?

I can currently only get it so that both the domain and the domain are both resolving to the same directory (the one set for my domain is carrying over to the IP address)

Thanks for any help that can be offered.

tl;dr how can i keep my rutorrent off my domain and only on my externally facing IP

I'm running windows xp as guest on Virtualbox and I'm trying to run a very old game on it. I installed the Direct3d or whatever in safemode but when launching the game has a very low resolution, and it can't be change since the faggots didn't add a resolution setting. I'm running the guest in fullscreen.

Is there any reason my laptop would be this hot?

>>55919696
Nobody knows. The cracks aren't open source so you can't really be sure they haven't slipped in something funky. But some sources are less likely to contain malware, like anything you download directly from my digital life. Also you would want to avoid downloading cracked torrent images as those tend to be riddled with hidden malware you probably wouldn't find in a million years of virus scanning.

Thanks, the standalone installer is currently "searching for updates" on my computer. Any idea how long that process takes on average?

>>55919831
Alright, thanks for the advice.

And this is gonna be a retarded question. There's no way I can move my windows install to a separate computer, is there?

It's a forum where you get Daz Windows Loader from. That program is used to trick Microsoft into thinking your copy of Windows is genuine.

>>55919879
Forever if the main windows update service is still running. Try restarting first.

>>55919946
What's the URL?

>>55919879
should be almost instant. restart your computer and first thing launch the downloaded update. what >>55919958
said is correct

>>55919890
The answer used to be "yes, but it's super hard to figure out how". Now it's more like "yes, if you're lucky and windows 10 adapts to the new hardware automatically". Otherwise it's a pain in the ass. If you were attempting it you would clone the drive within the same computer or image it and restore that image on a different computer. You would use macrium reflect. Some paid programs are better at transferring the install like Acronis. Probably none of this would transfer your actual license.

Thing is, I'm still running 7. And while it was at one point a legit copy, for whatever reason it no longer recognizes itself as such.

Success, going to d/l and install the April Servicing Pack now.

>>55920102
As far as legitimizing your current install there should be a sticker on the device somewhere with a product key, and if you reenter that it should work. Or call up the activation hotline and try to reactivate it. That just applies to it on this hardware though. The license probably wouldn't transfer.

Win7 has about a 40% chance of just working (software wise) if you copy it to a new computer and run the repair. Otherwise you would either need Acronis or a lot of research and trial and error

>>55920084
>>PC doesn't boot from USB, freezes at splash screen with the shitty fucking Windows faggy blue logo
I don't believe you
restart your PC and try to boot from it again

So where would be the place to get the iso itself?

How do I tell Youtube-dl to download in the highest quality? Just pasting the link only downloads the second highest quality for some reason, so 720p instead of 1080p

There's a really great article on downloading the Windows 7 iso and getting it ready to use on a flash drive. I'm not able to find it at the moment but if anyone else knows what I'm talking about can they respond to >>55920233

Hey /g/, i'm trying to clone my ssd to a new one (128->256gb) with macrium reflect. It's been failing though. What do i use to fix bad sectors since that seems to be a common issue with clone failure? Already used chkdsk and it told me there's nothing wrong with either drives.

Bad sectors really isn't something you worry about with SSDs. They handle their own shit. What error message is macrium giving you?

I play more than fp as you suggested

Kinda confused about this

import re

ex = 'idk stuff moose'

print(ex)

new = re.sub(r'\w+[r-t]','x', ex)

print(new)

stdout is:
idk stuff moose
idk xuff xe

Why tf does the regex statement remove "moo" when I tell it I only want to do stuff to characters r-t?

This

>>55920240
it defaults to the best /single/ stream
youtube for example, has everything better than 720p30 mp4 as /seperate/ video and audio streams (DASH)
to ensure you always get the best /including/ seperate streams, use the format;
"bestvideo+bestaudio/best"
note, you will need ffmpeg available, as it's used to mux (join) the streams into a single file

I've finished installing all four things now. So will Windows be able to update successfully from now on?

HELLLPPPP

my GTX 1070 memory is around 2000 at stock, according to GPU-Z. i can do +600 on MSI AB for 2304 MHz on the memory clock.

I just got a GTX 1080 and it says the memory is only 1400, and that's AFTER my overclock. i was only about 4 frames away from the 'best' bench a 1080 received on userbenchmark, but still.... why does my 1070 have such a higher memory clock?

EXPLAIN THIS SHIT NIGGA

>>55920604
I'd go with an IPS with an overdrive feature for improved response time. The color improvement of IPS is generally better than the difference in latency

>>55920701
yes, it should. enjoy!

Try imaging and restoring from image

So I finally finished my first build but I can't get it to start. It turns on but then shuts off in 3 seconds. Infinitely. Until I turn it off. Also some of my fans won't run but I'm sure it's because they're not connected properly

>>55920641
Sounds like a bit much for me. I'd need ffmpeg and Youtube-dl?
Where would I open the command window?

How modular are home-built PCs? Is it possible to, say, add an SSD after the computer has already been assembled?

New thread

>>55920830
i take it you're using windows
since you're unlikely to use ffmpeg otherwise, just download it from here;
https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/
(the first link based on what system you have, 32bit static or 64bit static)
extract it and place "ffmpeg.exe" in the same folder as "youtube-dl.exe"

as for the format, how are you going about running youtube-dl right now? from cmd? a browser script? something else? the method you're using might have a simple way to specify the format to use

>>55920899
I've got the .exe and I'm running it from cmd, yeah

>>55920976
you can specify the format like this;

youtube-dl -f "bestvideo+bestaudio/best" <url>

or you can make it the default by using a configuration file
in windows that would be either;

%appdata%\youtube-dl\config.txt

or

%userprofile%\youtube-dl.conf

the file likely doesn't exist, so you'll need to make it, the text in %%'s are environment variables, just put them in explorer as normal and it'll know where to go
