Streaming services like netflix and shit kills me. My router doesn't have bandwith management options as far as I can see and pic related is the closest. I don't care if it doesn't work or not, just help me set this shit up. I'm willing to try anything just so I can stop the fucking streaming or have it be as minimal as possible

Is it enough to code a program which connects a computer and phone both having an internet connection or does it need a server?
Thank you in advance for helping a newfag.

>Old GS4 i9505

>Battery drains reaaally fast
>Battery graph doesn't even show all the % used so far
>Been this way on both stock and ALL custom roms lately

If I have 20% battery left and check battery statistics I will have ~8 system and user apps apps with 1-5% drain on each, which doesn't add up even close to total battery % used.

I even tried a root battery statistics analyzer for wakelocks and such but it didn't really help. Any suggestions to try and fix or at least see what is going on?

Fill a bucket with water to the brim.
Add ammonia or other chemicals you have for drowsiness if inhaled lots.
Put on a tie.
Strap bucket over your head.
Also pull a plastic bag over head and bucket.
Try to seal it as best you can.
Pull the tie as hard as you can so you can't/barely breathe.
Sit down with head in bucket hunched over it.
Wait a few minutes.
Stand up as fast as you can.
Pass out, drown while unconscious.

Or just make an air tight plastic bag over your head and breathe until all the air is gone, pass out and die.

Whats the difference between cheap and expensive laptops besides memory and hard drive space?

>>55954177
Expensive ones cost a lot of $$$ and cheaps ones not so much.

>>55954177
Everything? CPU type, CPU clock. Cooling. Form factor. Nice materials other than plastic. Screen resolution, glossy or not, viewing angles. More inputs, better inputs. Weight and feel of the keyboard, backlights even. Impossible to open properly because shit is crammed like hell into a tiny space. Warranty periods

Im not sure how smartphone batteries work since sometimes they have 4 or more pins and only two are are for current as far as I know, I guess the others are for info to the OS and your phone went bad.

Try cleaning the contact pins with iso alcohol and check battery voltage with a multimeter, normally they're 3.3 volts and under 3 when almost depleted.

After building a new desktop, I now find myself with a fairly decent desktop that is no longer doing anything. I would like this to take the role of my current server running Debian on a laptop and external HDDs.

I have legitimate copies of Windows Server 2008. Is this way more than I need? Could I just get by with Win7 Pro? Would I be an idiot for switching away from Debian? The roles of this machine are NAS, Plex, printing, and legacy hardware support (discs, cards, and peripherals of all sorts.).

>>55954496
That's a question of noise and tear. The mobo can change speed accordingly to temp needs which makes it more quiet and wears the fans out less. If you don't care about that, or the mobo doesn't support such features, just plug em in wherever.

The spectre has a glossy flip able touch screen. An i7, SSD, more USB 3.0 ports, thin and portable as fuck, better battery and more which is simply better.

The other is a piece of shit celeron, big clumsy bucket with non-glossy non-touch screen and a single usb 3.0 port. Slow and power hungry mechanical harddrive. Old integrated graphics.

Basically just compare the list of features. Mem and hdd space is the easiest shit to swap out so it's the least relevant information you can look for in a laptop.

Need some advice regarding my phone. It "disconnects" from the charger easily so it needs to be completely still to charge and it also charges very slowly. And it won't charge from a powerbank at all, tried different powerbanks and different cables but it just won't register that I've plugged it in to a powerbank even though it works with all my friends phones.

Sounds like faulty or dirty charge port.

Clean it with a toothbrush and electronic cleaning fluid of some kind.

Micro-usb is a seriously weak piece of shit yet I haven't managed to ruin one myself yet but seen plenty of people doing the very same.

I'm trying to install Windows 7 from a USB. I'm certain the ISO is fine, and I used MS's own tool to get it on there. However, when I plug it in and try to boot, it says that a required CD/DVD device driver is missing and tells me to insert something that contains the drivers. What am I supposed to do?

So I want to buy a new GPU, probably either the 480 or the 1070. Still debating about how much I want to spend to "future proof" my rig. Thing is, my monitor only has a DVI port, no HDMI or Display port. I can get a AIB 480 card with a DVI slot and keep my monitor, or I can spend $800 and upgrade my monitor and get a 1070 (currently have a AOC 1080p 60hz monitor, and crossfire 270x).

What do? Is it worth it to go all in on a 1440/4k monitor?

The PDF there talks about using an ASUS support DVD. The computer I'm trying to install Windows on does not have a CD/DVD drive.

Here's a stupid question for ya

I just built a PC and no monitor is working with it. None of them recognize being plugged in to the GPU.

Two questions:

1) Almost all software jobs I've seen request experience with Linux/UNIX, so (as a winfag) I'm thinking of dual-booting a Linux distro on my new build. What kind of knowledge/experience are they usually looking for? Bash?

2) How do I pick between two CompSci or Software Engineering courses between two universities? Right now my only indicator is the language they teach (C vs Java)

>>55956013

It's spoopy. I looked up the specifications on the side and the only differences were in Cooler and Features, the cheaper one had
>Cooler: Anodised Aluminium Heatspreader
>Features: Black PCB (kek) XMP 2.0
and the expensive one
>Cooler: Heat Spreader
>Features: XMP 2.0

What the fuck, I'll obviously get the cheaper one but this makes me nervous. All the other sticks in that section are 160/170 but this one is 110.

What do you guys think about the nexus 6p?

My 1tb hdd is seen as 931gb in Windows 7, and 930gb is acaloble to use.

Is this an operating system issue, or did Seagate sell me a drive with 69gb less than advertised?

Does Linux/OS X "see" the full drive space, or are they limited too?

Okay, so seeing the emerging console hacking scene for the PS Vita has inspired me to finally pick up coding. Someone has already written a Lua interpreter for the Vita, so I figured that would be a good first language to start with.

Two questions. Where can I find some decent resources online to help me learn Lua?

And secondly, for my first project, I want to try to port Ren'Py since the code is under a MIT license and playing VNs on the go sounds like a dream. However, the whole thing is written in Python. Would this be a decent project for someone learning programming or does the difference between languages make the whole thing unfeasible?

If my resume has web developer positions I did in college but I'm pursuing a career in programming C++, should I include the experience or should I replace some with relevant projects?

>>55956532
Works the same for Windows 7. Unless your mobo is like over a decade old it can boot from usb.

Just use the universal usb thing how I said, and mash ESC/F2/F12 when booting. One of those usually gets you into the bios and you can boot from USB.

>>55956551
Include experience and projects.

When you are detailing the previous positions (or if they ask you about them) put a focus on your responsibilities rather than the language specific skills.

Emphasize you are a good programmer and understand design/data structures.

>>55956561
And that even works with Skylake? Everything else has fucked up.

On a new build, one of my two front USB ports gives power but no data. I just a get a Device not recognized error. The other port works fine. No driver problems as far as I can tell.

Is there an easy fix for this? Maybe I didn't plug the front panel connectors into the mobo correctly? All the ports on the back and the one other front port work fine so I'm not exactly hurting, but it is irritating.

>>55956532
Windows 7 doesn't ship with native USB 3.0 Controller drivers iirc, just make sure to plug the USB drive into the legacy 2.0 ports on the back, if you bought a new mobo with absolutely no 2.0 ports only then would you need to install the drivers at the time of installation

Sheet, I'm reading up on this and that is quite a headache. If you REALLY don't want W10 due to whatever misconceptions you may hold I found these instructions on the rddit

Good luck soldier, we've all gone through times like these

Boot into a live linux system (with GParted or similar tool), I had ubuntu 14.04 ISO lying around. I won't instruct you on how to build a bootable USB stick with linux (I personally use DriveDroid on Android).

Once in the live system, open GParted and create a new NTFS partition of at least 4.5 GB.
Right click on your new partition in GParted and select "manage flags" and tick the "boot" checkbox.

Now (still in the live system) unpack your windows 7 ISO onto the new partition
Reboot out of your live system and unplug your USB disk.

Depending on how many sources and partitions you have, you might have to change your boot order to boot from your new partition, and your Windows 7 install should begin.

When installation is complete, you can delete your 4.5 GB partition.

If they are USB 3.0 ports on the front make sure the usb header they are plugged into supports 3.0.

Yes, thank you. The inside part that holds the pins broke off inside of the connector cable. Look like I'll have to replace the cable and the receiving end. However I have no idea what such a connection would be called? I need the 5 pin (which connects to the PCB) to the USB 2.0 Type B male end. What would that be called or where can I find one?

>>55956627
I mean, I'll take Win10. The big issue here is how slow my internet is. It would take me a while to download. I just want to use the thing I've shelled out 12 hours of mechanical work and at least 1500 dollars on.

>>55956601
I would say yes for your interviewers and conciseness, but the algorithm that automatically scans your resume for keywords prolly doesn't give a shit.

Utilize everything at your disposal to get a foot in the door, if you're in uni then definitely talk personally to any recruiters that come from big companies.

Getting to a human in the company is literally the hardest part of the application process.

Once you're past the technical phone interview, most on-campus interviews will be an easy sanity check to see how well you can use data structures/think. But the important part of those is to not be an ass, they're also testing if you're a good communicator and teammate. Think about if you're behaving like someone they would WANT to work with.

>>55956661
After seeing that I'm not sure its regular USB type B anymore, looks like some bastardized version.

>>55956708
Oh yeah that makes more sense.

>>55956683
It is. The "housing" for the pins in the male end snapped off at its base and got lodged in the female end. I was able to pull that out of the cable, so the cable is fine now. I still just need to figure out how to get a new male end that can connect to this 5 pin to PCB.

alright /sqt/

do I go 1440p 144hz IPS freesync and wait for 4k oled and 4k in general to mature

or do I just buy a 60 hz 4k monitor or TV for the extra pixel density/bigger screen

using a poo in loo r9 390 at the moment so most 4k games will just be upscaled 1080p, is 4k even worth it at this point for a 400-500 USD budget?

>>55956773
i'm not sure what you just said
just remove the existing, broken female connector from the device (use a soldering iron to melt the solder and pull it off the board), then solder in the replacement connector
it's not a small component, it shouldn't be difficult even if you've never soldered before

I personally have a 21:9 1440p screen and it is.. THE DREAM. I was even able to increase the refresh rate to 75hz (Its the dell U3415W)

But FYI there are some games that force the 16:9|10 ratio and put black bars on the right. And youtube videos will do that too.

Bothers some people, not me. Otherwise, I'd wait on a 4k for another year or two and get a nice 144hz 1440p.

>but it failed to mount boot.wim.
Does Asus EZ installer have 2 options or only 1? I got 7 on skylake with a gigabyte tool. The tool has 2 options:
#1 mount iso+patch
#2 patch only

I tried option 1 it didn't work. So then I got a program which is free called YUMI. Used it to mount the iso. Then I went back to the gigabyte tool and tried option #2 patch only. And that worked for me.

Here is a list of 10 tools that can mount iso images. RUFUS is the most popular but YUMI is the one did the trick for me.
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/10-tools-make-bootable-usb-iso-file/

I downloaded a bunch of html files.
I cat'd them to one large file.
Im using grep to find a keyword and create a new file with it.
It is just copying the file over 100% to the new file.
Is there another way to do this?

>>55957074
Supposedly you can just place certain files in and it will work but that's not doing shit for me.

>>55953596
Assuming you have no connections, go find some loan sharks. Bet alot of money. Lose it and die.

>>55957091
Just want to reiterate.

When we told you to use USB 2.0 it wasn't for the sake of EZ Installer, it was for the Universal USB installer for Windows 7, if you use USB 2.0 there is no need to modify the ISO as Windows 7 does come with USB 2.0 drivers

>>55957119
Well I tried using a 2.0 slot and windows still said it was missing drivers so I assume I have a damaged ISO. Even if the checksums were all perfectly accurate.

>>55957119

> we

I love you too anon.

But yes, the EZ Installer tries to add the USB 3.0 drivers for Windows 7 Preinstall Environment so that it doesn't give that driver error.

If you have USB 2.0, you can use those ports without any extra fuss on top of the Universal USB Installer.

>>55957138
Dont suppose you could burn the ISO to a DVD and try installing from disc?

This is all quite the surprising, Windows 7 shouldn't care if you're missing the USB 3.0 drivers if the USB drive is 2.0 and plugged into a 2.0 port, That is how my most recent W7 installation went. I wish I could help you find another ISO but ever since digital river links went down I've stopped pirating Windows

>>55956679

>>55957192
I lack a CD/DVD drive in the new computer.

I'm really thinking by this point that something somehow went wrong with the ISO.

Now I'm curious - is it possible to create an installation disc for 10 that is considered already activated? Or would I have to upgrade the current computer to 10 (it's running 7 at the moment) and create a disc from there?

Which provokes me to ask the question, is it possible to create a setup disc for 7 using my current installation?

>>55957221
Tried that, didn't work.

>>55957232
Did you see the solution he posts at the bottom of the same page? I saw it after I posted the prev comment.

>>55957232
When I upgraded from 7 to 10 it gave me the option to modify the current installation or create a USB disc, it didn't activate until after I was at the desktop and connected to the internet. That was using a pirated copy of 7 too.

Although the free upgrade grace period is already over

I honestly dont know if its possible to use 7 to make a setup disc, I would doubt it though.

Doesn't that date trick still work?

I"m just sick of the headache. I'm almost ready to just wing it and get the shit from TPB, activation be damned. But I know that would be incredibly risky and as such it's a last resort.

I don't even care about 7 anymore.

>>55957291
I never tried the date trick so again idk, I upgraded day 1 simply because I had a spare HDD

All these ransomware stories have me spooked, I've simply switched over to linux and use 10 for games, good luck if you do decide to use TPB

Hey guys, will the difference between 4-8GB on the RX480 mean much at 1080p? Would I still be able to max out most games with 4GB?

>>55957326
I think I'm just going to use the assistive technologies thing to get the upgrade and go from there.

>>55957346
I highly highly doubt you will go over 4GB at 1080p

Even with HD texture mods, the 4GB and 8GB models should preform the same in everything else

I tried this once using WINE since the binary install simply restarts half way through and then boots into a windows like environment unfortunately for the life of me I cannot remember if it worked.

Alright everybody I'm back. Sorry I'm insanely busy tonight and my internet keeps going out. The problem here is not the usb ports. It's the usb CONTROLLER. It shouldn't matter if you use a 2.0 device in a 2.0 slot, it still falls under xhci controller standard which is on all skylake boards and means that unpatched windows 7 can't install from usb. If you did install from a DVD then you would need to add the drivers after the fact using an Ubuntu iso or the window recovery command line or something, which I think is what the reddit thing was about.

So the patching thing is important. I would try running the EZ tool on a third computer, or using a different program to mount the iso like winCDEmu. The error code it gave you seems to have something to do with broken links.

This all comes up on here every few days now that skylake is so popular. The annoying thing is that it's up to the manufactures to each provide their own patches and they're all different. I suppose you could try merging the xhci controller drivers manually, but I've never tried that. I also heard of a tool called Easy2Boot that lets you write an ISO to a partition on your hard drive and boot it for the install, but I've never tested that either.

This is more /v/ related, but you can't have any sort of intelligent discussion there. Is it possible to make a "port" of a game without access to the source code and documentation? As in, the game is effectively an 'adaptation', with custom programming/art for the new version(s)? Would there be any situations where 'adapting' the game would be beneficial rather than porting it, like maybe the game has framerate dependent programming?

Full disclaimer i'm no expert.

I was saying your second suggestion is more akin to ripping off a game, by making the exact same thing that you see, that is something people do. Also overwatch is on PC.

I dont know how people know where to look but for example I know DMC4 modding has you using a hex editor to use mods

and a Game like DaS and DaS3 have texture dumping mods already widely available

I imagine if someone is familiar/good enough they could rip data out of the PC version of Overwatch and use it for other stuff

Manjaro also wouldn't be bad.

If not just put Windows 10 or 7, really it's not what people make it seem. If the NSA really wanted to see your shit they could no matter what OS or hardware you have.

Just get a $30 sound card, or whatever fits your budget and is known to be good. Motherboards are usually the cause for that problem, and if it isn't then just get a new headset, honestly it doesn't hurt you to get a sound card, audio is better than the one your motherboard has.

try diff headphones. the buzzing is most likely caused by electrical interference which is why an external dac/amp would fix it.

Hiroshinoot added popup ads for the archive.

There is no ad revenue from 4chan, enable uBlock.

What a cunt. And you are sure 4chan gets no money from ads? It's the only site I have whitelisted.

>>55958440
If you haven't noticed the only ads shown are the stock ads that adversite to buy ads.

Site makes more money with passes, if you really like the site and want to support it buy a pass instead, you will give them more money this way.

So I'm currently using Linux Mint MATE and I'm having some strange issues with text becoming invisible in at least two applications.
The first is the file manager, where file names are invisible unless I select the file, at which point the name is displayed normally.
The second is the terminal, where I'm having similar issues.
Text is completely visible while I type commands into terminal, but when I execute it, the text I typed and any output becomes invisible, though it can be viewed if I highlight it.
Both of these can be temporarily fixed with a reboot, though they seem to come back after some time.
Does anyone have any clue what's going on? There don't seem to be any forum threads on it anywhere.

>>55958429
They don't get shit for the J-List ads?

Is Windows 10 really as evil as /g/ would have me believe?
I have a mild interest in freedoms as a matter of principal but I have a pressing interest in having different scaling for different monitors.

I need a graphics card around $130 to pair with my i5-6600K. What's the best thing I can get?

>>55958599
It's a meme dude, Windows 10 is fine.

Is there a "best" version of linux?
If so, which one is the best?
If not, which one would you recommend?
Are there pros and cons between the different kinds?

>>55958729
Linux can be custom tailored to the needs of its user, their is no one "best" the appeal (among other things) is that its malleable enough to become what any user may need

>>55958604
Why did you get a 6600k only to spend so little on the GPU? Should have gotten an i3 instead.

Hey /sqt/,
I'm trying to phase out this old SSD i have that has issues but i can't set the default windows boot manager to the partition in disk 1 instead of disk 0.
I tried to set it as active in PE but i get "the selected disk is not a fixed mbr".

How do i fix this?

I keep hearing that Windows 7 is better than its successors

>>55958599
Yes, it is what we say.

But its only bad if you are paranoid, or from a first world country

>>55958810
If I download it from that, how do I activate it?

>>55958827
7 is definitely better than 8/8.1. Whether it's better than 10 is a matter of skub.

>>55958830
Using a valid product key of course.

Or, you know, the other thing.

2GB, 4GB or 8GB DIMMS PC3-10600 memory standard
2 DIMM slots on dual-core models (up to 16GB)
4 DIMM slots on quad-core models (up to 32GB)
Samsung M471B5273DH0-CH9 4 GB DDR3-1333 SDRAM (8-8-8-22 @ 609 MHz) (7-7-7-20 @ 533 MHz) (6-6-6-17 @ 457 MHz) (5-5-5-14 @ 380 MHz)

I have these 2 laptops, and I want to remove their RAM and install it in my new laptop.
Both of them have DD3. Will it work?

It enters 'reduced functionality mode' after 30 days. Every hour you get forcibly logged out. Windows security essentials will not work. There's a little watermark that says 'This copy of Windows is not genuine'.

Pretty sure that was just Vista. Everything I'm able to find says that it just gives you a watermark.

I know for a fact it was a thing in both 7 and 8.1.
More likely than not 8 as well.
I suspect it's still a thing in 10.

>>55958945
I'm using 7 right now and the only "reduced functionality" I get is a popup every time I open Photo Viewer or Notepad, plus the occasional background switching to black, which can be easily dealt with.

99.9% sure Italian doesn't use "el" at the beginning of a sentence you stupid shitposter. Also, by definition, if I was illiterate how could I use 4chan? Lastly, why would an American ever need to know the difference between Italian or Spanish? Their countries have to learn English because it is the superior language if you want to get anywhere worth while in this world.

NTFS built in compression.

I want to replace my old 300 GB laptop hard drive with a larger disk and since my PC is old and shit I don't expect much of a performance upgrade by going SSD, plus I don't have a lot of money.

My question is, can I just throw any internal 1TB 2.5" HDD into my laptop or do I have to buy a hard drive that is explicitly marketed as a laptop hard drive?
Old HDD is a Hitachi HTS545032B9A300.

>>55959523
That's a SATA II HDD so you might not be able to use a SATA III HDD.

>>55959537
But other than that any internal 2.5" will work? Like for example the Samsung M8 HN-M101MBB?

>>55959523
There's a good chance you'd still see a good boost in loading times and OS performance with an SSD even on an older machine.
Most any 2.5" SATA drive will work, the only concern is the drive thickness, some laptops don't fit the thicker drives.

>>55959537
Please don't say retarded shit, SATA drives are all backwards compatible.

>>55959580
I don't think thickness will be an issue; the cavity looks deep enough.
Capacity is currently a higher concern than load times 2bh. I can't afford a 1 TB SSD and 500 GB isn't worth upgrading imo.

"looks" isn't good enough, laptop drives can range from 5mm to 15mm

>6.18 On this system, the /home directory is on a separate partition and
has inode number 2 on that partition, while the / directory is inode number
2 on its own file system. Since inode numbers are only unique within
the same physical file system, the same number can show up for different
files in “ls -i” output; this is no cause for concern.

Depends on what you're doing, like how Windows is better for gaming, Linux is better for application development, programming, and anything technical. I prefer Linux as it's reasonably lightweight, fast, and much more customizable. If you want to try it out, you can install ubuntu or fedora onto a flash drive and try them out in a live boot.
