How long can CPU of laptop stay at 80-90 C?

>>55929058
until it dies

Is it true that you shouldn't cover the laptop after you turn it off for at least 30 seconds to allow heat to dissipate first?

Is there a music player for android that can see the flac music I have just like.. Clementine on PC? Like, when it finds an album to divide it in pieces.

If it remains hot to the touch then caution would be advised.

Poweramp

>>55929233
Well, I do use Poweramp and it doesn't work at all. I have the albums and that's it, 1h songs.

Is it a really bad idea to use a theme in a passphrase, e.g. just typing 8 different car brands, animals or countries?

Is it absolutely critical that the words are randomly generated to stand a chance against a dictionary attack?

Can someone post every windows 10 pasta ? And all those webm showing windows 10 spying on people ?

>>55929303
A dictionary attack can't resolve the words you use one by one. "FordDodge" is different from "DodgeFord".
With 8 words, there are so many different combinations that it's safe.

You're right that is a stupid question, but it's not technology related so you shouldn't expect an answer

I get Office from being a student but it says it's limited until I stop being a student. Is that actually so and will it stop working once my license doesn't refresh anymore or can you still keep using it after that?

anyone else here use an HTC One m7? the sprint version

is there a decent ROM out right? im thinking of just going back to cm11 since thats what worked, seems like anything new has way too many bugs

I have system instability (Firefox crashes, pagefault BSODs) and the Windows memory diagnostic tool reports a hardware problem. But the tool also crashed twice before completing a scan, and then my system refused to boot, throwing the "hardware component failure" beep code. Though this morning it boots again.

Pretty sure I'm on the hook for more RAM but I'm just worried it's something more serious because I've never seen a bad stick of RAM cause that much of a stink before

How come I've got 2 windows 10 boot entries, one referring to C:\WINDOWS, which seems to be my default, and another one referring to C:\Windows?
I'm confused as to why one is all caps and the other is not, and why the fuck are there 2 in the first place? It just appeared one day after installing an update (not the anniversary)

>>55929484
I got Office from my university's program and nothing stopped working when I graduated, I kind of doubt they'll deactivate your key or something unless you're using some kind of time-limited subscription program or something

Noctua NH-U12S is it enough for i7-6700k? (€ 62,50)

Or should I get Noctua NH-U14S(€ 70,50), the difference is like 8€ on computer universe.

>>55929303
Theoretically any factor in your password that makes it more predictable also makes it weaker. In practice though it's unlikely an algorithm will make such connections, and it's not as if the attacker will know what kind of scheme you used. Also, if it's a password for a website or email or something, brute forcing is usually irrelevant as long as your password isn't retardedly simple, since almost any web server will have measures in place to prevent it unless they've already been compromised in some other way.

is it possible to keep torrent files and seed them after formatting my PC?
if I backup the .torrent files and put the completely downloaded files in the same original folder, what can go wrong?

It's easier to just back up %AppData%\uTorrent\resume.dat and put it back in that location afterward, assuming you're using uTorrent. If not, then the applicable file for whatever client you use.

>>55929616
nothing.

Your torrent client has a setting where you can specify the folder it looks through for downloaded torrent files. Just put the files back where they were after formatting, or point your client to where they are now.

>>55929648
thanks, but would it proceed seeding even after I don't have the files? or am I supposed to keep them too?

Does human consciousness arise within the brain, or is the brain just an interface with something much larger that we can't see that exists outside the body?

How to bypass sites that force to disable adblock/NoScript?

>>55929681
ctrl-w

>>55929681
Anti Adblock Killer will fix some but not all of it

>>55929672
No, of course you keep the files. They have to be in the same place as well, but what I'm saying is if you just keep the torrents then you have no record of where those torrents were saved to, so you have to manually navigate to each directory again, and sometimes the torrent client will be a bitch and try to make subfolders it shouldn't or something making life harder than it needs to be, and also you have to wait for everything to hash check when it discovers the files are there, and sometimes something goes BADLY WRONG and files get deleted and it tries to redownload them from scratch. If you just transfer the resume.dat then it picks up where it left off without even knowing anything changed.

Though of course it is of vital importance that you do get the paths exactly like they were before, but even in a case they're not it will just throw a harmless "files not found" error and give you time to fix it.

>>55930551
It doesn't really matter.

Lets say you send from gmail -> gmail
Then google will know the conversation.
If you send X -> gmail, google would still know the conversation.
Assuming the majority of people you know is either using outlook, gmail or a work email, you can't really escape that people will know what you are sending.

What you (probably) want is to encrypt your emails.
This requires that you create a pgp key, upload it and tell people to use it.

I use k9 mail client + apg on the phone, then reading/sending encrypted emails is as easy as downloading an attachment.

If want to host your own mail server for some reason, I would recommend iredmail.

I'm having trouble implementing a deciphering tool.
Basically, the decryption formula is d(x) = a^-1 (x-b) mod m (It's the Affine Cipher:http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/affine.php)
And the first couple of letters work okay, but I can't get the correct answer after that (pic related). Here's my code:

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
    std::cout << AffineCipher("Hello", 3, 0) << std::endl;
    std::cout << AffineDecipher("VMHHQ", 3, 0) << std::endl;

    return 0;
}
std::string AffineDecipher(std::string input, int multiplier, int shift)
{   //Decryption is a slightly different formula, d(x) = a-1(x - b) mod m.
    std::string output = "";
    for(int i = 0; i < input.length(); i++)
    {
        char currChar = input[i]-'A';
        char outputChar = (currChar-shift)*(1./multiplier);
        output += outputChar%26 +'A'; //Mod is on another line because you can't mod a double
    }
    return output;

Depends if you want the increased pixel density or a larger work space? It's entirely down to your preference. I personally went for the 2515 because I'm fairly close to my desk so I can still see the smaller icons easily. So the icons are smaller but it's no way near close to 4k screens, it's easier to see than 2160 at 30inches for example.

Assuming on highest settings GTX 1080 maybe, the new Titan X absolutely. Game dependent, settings dependent. Also with such high frames a really good CPU single threaded performance with at least four cores is important. Overclocked new i5 or i7. Heck even a fast RAM can give you a few frames here.

I'm using an overclocked GTX 1080 and i7 4790k @ 4,9 GHz with a 2560x1440 monitor capable of 165 Hz. I can't run modern games on highest settings and get those kinds of frames you are looking for, just like graph at >>55932036 shows. Needless to say that already nearing 100 frames a second in modern games with highest settings is quite enough and it plays/looks amazing. Witcher 3 is an especially demanding game to run on highest settings so that graph is kind of an extreme example right now. Doom on Vulkan is stunning and s m o o t h btw.

Is there a way to make my computer have periodic intervals where it doesn't respond to any input?

>>55932840
Sure, I guess. First you have to figure out a decent way of making the computer unresponsive, you could probably just disable the devices capable of sending input such as keyboards, mice, etc. Now just schedule this in the task scheduler to take place when you want, and of course reverse it when the period is over.

Though someone could always just plug a new input device in which might defeat what you're trying to do. If you want to make it aggressively ignore all input devices no matter what it will probably be more complicated. Maybe someone's already done your work for you though, if you can find a program for making the computer unresponsive built in somewhere then it's just a matter of sticking it on the task scheduler like before.

>>55932834
For what? A study that human vision doesn't work in frames? I'm going to thrown in a poor anecdote and suggest you go and try a 120 Hz or above monitor in a store assuming you don't own one. Just drag some windows around on the desktop or better yet, play a game which requires fast movements and precision. The difference is rather huge. Dropping down from the 165 Hz monitor I'm using now to 60 Hz makes the 60 Hz look choppy and even stuttery.

>There are some studies that have linked coffee drinking to having to poop. Although this is by no means definitively proven, if you drink coffee while trying to hold in poop you will probably have to pee too

Alright, so I have a workstation and I just bought some Registered RAM. Problem is, it doesn't fucking work, and it definitely SHOULD. Now, Lelnovo says max specs for this thing is as follows:
Memory

Type DDR3 Unbuffered SDRAM
ECC Supported
Maximum Capability : 1600MHz, UDIMM : PC3-10600 (1333MHz), RDIMM : PC3-8500 (1066MHz)
Max DIMM Sizes : 4GB
Maximum system memory : 24GB

Now, I am 100% positive that these limitations are sheerly based on the W3550 inside of it. I'm going to put an L5640 in there, and I have two questions:

First, will the L5640 be compatible with my system? It's an S20, by the way, and I'm sure it will be. Same socket and everything, but I just want to be sure.

Second, what is the maximum size and number of RAM that I can use for that processor? I currently have an 8GiB module.

Would a class 10 sd card be faster than a 7200 rpm laptop drive? Are there any fast and tiny usb 3 drives? Any other ideas?
I only need about 16-64 gb. Anything more is overkill and anything under wont work.

ebay hdmi switch. Mine cost around $3 US and it lets me have 3 inputs that connect to a single port on my TV. All I have to do is push the button on it and it switches between my PC, XBone, and server.

>>55934413
Depends on if you have two hdmi ports on your card or not. If you do, then you can plug them both in. If not, then you could run your monitor on DVI and plug the hdmi into your TV.

>>55934413
Damn just realized I ( >>55934560 ) read that wrong. I think what you need is an HDMI splitter so your PC can connect to the TV and monitor. This route only works is they are the same resolution tho and it will mirror them.

Can someone help me with the question I had earlier?

Looks like either your new drive or your old one is physically damaged. Maybe try cloning to something else to make sure it's not your old drive, then send your new one back to the store or use the warentee for a replacement. Sometimes you just get a bad drive.

If it's a problem with the cloning process you could try making an image of the disk and restoring that if you haven't already, but it probably wont change anything

It doesn't matter what company it is, all drives have a few percent failure rate per year, even in the begging. But if you're sure it's the original drive, then this sounds simple enough. Just clean install windows onto your new drive and ditch the old one. It doesn't take as long as you think and it's great for speed and reliability starting over. I think it's time.

You can use the U version if you have to

You could put them all in one place for sorting, then create symlinks to wherever else you want to access them.

I'd do that, but I constantly add more files to the sorting system, so it may be a bit difficult to effectively do that right now.

Is my video card not being detected because the connector on the right side close to the camera isn't plugged in?

What is a good search engine to use?

I want to stop using google but ddg is terrible at showing relevant search results.

If it doesn't work you can get a converter for like $10

>>55936847
You hit the nail on the head. You either have to be spied on, or get good at using a search engine, like we all used to, back in the day.

>>55936844
Nope, you only need to plug in as many power connectors are there are sockets on the board. Reseat it, or try another socket, and if that doesn't work, RMA it.

I hope so, in the worst case I can probably get like $60 if I sell it on some website.

startpage

it's literally google minus the botnet.
keep in mind that it's search results are slightly worse than google's, cause google uses the botnet to adjust them for what you likely want.

>>55936860
Yeah, probably.

has linux mint been owned?

There is no good alternative.

hello lads
I want to upgrade my OS (win 7) from 32-bit to 64-bit, but the guy on youtube who made a video manual on how to upgrade the bits just said that it will wipe out all my data.
Is that true?
If it is true tho, will it also delete my data on D: drive, too, or just C:?

It will erase everything on c. It won't erase d unless you're a retard during setup

start with vim. it's literally on every linux machine. run vimtutor a couple times to learn the basics.

>unless you're a retard during setup
During the setup of what? the 64-bit system?
How to avoid it?

the day has come where linux wireless support sucks less than windows

>>55936581
You were baiting too by insisting on the one without a MSDN corroboration.

You encrypt the drive first, then add data.
You can use your encrypted drive on other computers if they have the same software needed to decrypt it installed. For Linux, that's Luks.
To decrypt a drive on both Linux and Windows, you need an encryption solution that's supported on both systems, and installed on both. Back when I last experimented with encryption, the only one available for free was Truecrypt. It's discontinued now, but has been forked as an open source project called Cyphershed.

You're reinstalling windows from scratch. That's all there is to it. Just don't pick your d drive while you're reinstalling

what is /g/'s recommended iso file mounter? /g/ wiki doesn't give one.
