Hey /g/ I just purchased an SSD and I was trying to clone my HDD to it however it has an incompatible sector size (HDD is 512, SSD is 4096) and it won't clone onto the SSD because of this. How can I change the sector size on the SSD to match my hard drive? It has no files on it and I am willing to format it again if I need to.

Hey guys. I'm looking to start developing a desktop software as a side project that manages a businesses workflow / quoting stuff. What would be the best language for something like this? I was thinking Java for its robustness.

I know it's been done, I'm just doing it as an exercise, and wanted some opinions. What about using node-webkit?

Don't try to change your sector size. SSDs need their sectors to not be messed with. Find a better cloning program, like macrium

I am not in a tech job, but I do use excel a lot. Making advanced spreadsheets and manipulating data/making buttons would be useful for me.

Considering the only time I would need to code in my career would be in excel 99% of the time. It just seems that when I google stuff about vb, people say it's unpopular and that python is a better place to start...

I did exactly that by installing the full gapps and then removing gapps components until Maps didn't work anymore. It worked pretty well, and you do not need the app store this way. Be prepared for a sequence of quite a few reinstalls / backup recovery steps though.

No, I don't remember the exact list of components you need to keep, sorry.

I understand that. Obviously you wouldn't be saying that if you were getting a different error message. But the thing about error messages is that they're not magic. They're just the closest approximation of the problem the coder could anticipate when he was making the program. So you can't always trust the error message because sometimes a program will shoot out something unrelated when things fail. This sounds a lot like one of those times.

Hey this really is a stupid question but I have to ask it

I am doing a homework assignment where I have a scenario where I'm setting up a network that consists of one modem, one router, one laptop, 3 pcs, and one printer.
I have to give different local IP addresses to all these devices.
How do local IPs get their assigned address? I can't just put random numbers that go 192.168.x.x right?
I am searching online and all I can find is articles saying "there are both local and public IP addresses" and nothing other than that.

Please help, I'm not asking for you guys to do it for me, I just want a link to the info that shows me what I need to know. What is the actual process that determines whether a PC is 192.168.1.8 or 192.168.1.5?

>>
>>56004745
An IP address is uniform for a single network. If these computers are connected to that single network, they cannot get their own IP addresses. Especially the printer. You're probably not getting results because this is not possible.

"Local" IP addresses mean your personal address at home, used by your router specifically. "Public" IP addresses are used at stores and shit, with no password to the WiFi or some shit so everyone can just connect willy nilly. You need proxy software to change an IP address, and maybe THEN you can get different proxies on each device. But not a printer.
>>
>>56004806

A good program for testing your external drives temperature is called "Back of your hand". It's external hardware to the computer you'd be using the program on.

Like what specifically? What is your rig used for the most?

Another tip: Depending on your hardware, a program will sometimes be installed by the manufacturer. Certain gaming motherboards have their own control center to control boot options, overclock settings, etc.

I'm telling you that a computer cannot detect the temperature of a component that isn't part of its construction. It'll be connected to your PC via USB most likely, so your computer will read it as a mass storage device at most.

Useful programs might include: Proxy Switcher, Total Uninstaller, AVG PC TuneUp, Ccleaner, PC Registry Mechanic, 7-Zip, uTorrent, CrystalDiskInfo (the most likely to give you temperature results), Speccy, etc.

I disagree, I have problems with the two resolutions interacting all the time. But I always solve it by changing the resolution on the TV itself. My monitor is 1920x1080, but it shows up super zoomed in on my TV too. Sometimes changing the aspect ratio fixes it too.

I've been looking in to this off and on for a few months now, but I just cant connect all the dots myself.

Is it possible to create a VR system that tracks both the headset (a phone to cut down on price per unit), and any other peripherals (controllers, foot/hand sensors) from pre-measured base stations via bluetooth?

The setup I'm trying to create here is essentially three stations that can send+receive bluetooth signals hooked up to a computer. the base stations send signals to the phone (used as a headset to save cost and drop the price of VR significantly), the phone responds. The base stations send timestamps for both the time sent and revived the computer, which does the math and tracks in real time. Problem is, I can barely code as it is, and it doesnt help that I'm using old smartphones as the base stations. The basis for tracking is just bluetooth signals though, record the time a packet of data is sent, record the time its received back, calculated distance from the base station with the times and the speed of the bluetooth signal, so it would be easy in terms of math.

Is this even a feasible set-up though? In theory, its both a far cheaper way to implement VR, and potentially can open up the possibility of having location tracking for both hands and feet as well as the head.

Whether or not it is simple is going to be related to how much of the work you've already done in your class. There's a good chance for code reuse and if the member functions for traversing and reading elements returns data that is straightforward to feed in to your member functions that add things to your data structure, then your copy constructor will also be straightforward.

I'm trying to build ratio on torrentleech, but I'm having trouble with deluge. It seemed to stop seeding completely after my downloads finished. Grim Dawn hasn't seeded anything, but it has no leechers, so that makes sense, right? But the gossip girl torrent stopped seeding at this point despite there still being leechers. What gives?

You can try the toshiba drivers. Also I wouldn't bother with crimson if it's giving you problems. It's pretty much a beta, and I had some trouble with it myself. I don't think you're going to see a huge difference between drivers on an older card. Also if you happen to be using an intel processor I would make sure the integrated graphics have their driver installed before you install the AMD ones

is it possible to route a vpn through tor? I don't use tor very much but I read a lot of people who use it without the official tor browser, I guess it's possible to customize the connection to tor?

you can run tor over vpn or vpn over tor, and they accomplish two very different things. They have a help page describing it, but if you have to ask here you're probably nowhere near ready to do either

>>56006747
You don't need a VPN, although it wouldn't hurt

Should 720p video reach the edges of a 1080p TV?
>>
>>56006747
you can set up a VPN server for that but if you just need access to that one machine it'd be a lot simpler to just ssh to it. if you need files off it you can use scp, or set up something like proftpd. Either of these are a lot easier than setting up an OpenVPN server, you just have to edit some config files and open some ports.


>>56006775
you can connect to a vpn and then connect to tor through it, or connect to tor and then connect to the vpn from the tor exit node.

these accomplish different things, security wise.

>>56007276
When you're installing Windows you have an option to enter your activation code later. So after you go through the brief install, and before you update Windows, you plug a flash drive into your computer with Daz loaded onto it and then you run the program, which will trick Windows into thinking you're genuinely activated.

Ill keep that in mind but for now Ive gotten a cracked version of windows 7 premium to begin the installation process from a USB on my new machine. Only issue is the installer is in Dutch or some shit. Does this mean its going to install a dutch version of windows on my machine or?

>>56007372
You should be able to install new localizations and switch later but I'd just go back and get the right version.

Are you using a Skylake processor? i3, i5, etc.
>>
>>56007556
Indeed I am, 6600k, why?
>>
>>56007611
Skylake and Windows 7 don't play nicely, you should check your motherboard manufacturer's website to see if they released a fix for it.

For instance Gigabyte released this patch for my motherboard: http://gigabytedaily.blogspot.ca/2015/09/having-trouble-installing-windows-7-by.html
>>
>>56007611
Skylake (or more precisely Z170 and friends) drop support for the version of the USB protocol that the Windows 7 installer speaks. Partly Intel did this because old installers like this are the only thing that needs it (Windows 7 or any other OS will speak new-USB fine once it's installed and has been given drivers for it) and they don't want to maintain it anymore, and partly because Intel and Microsoft depend on each other in a big way and Microsoft does not want installing non-10 versions of Windows on modern hardware to be something that people do, so they're happy to make it difficult.

Solutions to this problem:
Check your mobo maker's manual. Some of them implemented the missing functionality specifically to let people install 7 on their hardware. This is probably a toggleable BIOS setting, if you have it.
If you don't have it, you need to install 7 from a DVD and not from USB. You'll need a PS2 keyboard, also, 7 won't see any USB devices until you can boot up and install drivers. You *may* be able to get around this with a USB PCI-E card. That's a guess on my part though.

It's the same ratio (16:9) , so yes it will be scaled up / "stretched".

>>56006686
It depends on the implementation.
For example in Unity you have a model that serves as the map. So in that sense, it's "downloaded".

Some games have maps pre-baked, like Unreal, it contains the lightning calculated, the navigation mesh, all kinds of stuff. Of course the textures and sounds are taken from the other folder/files, but the maps are "baked".

Some games use generated maps like Minecraft. It's got the code how to generate.

My GTX780 can do around 20FPS on normal details, 720p. So good luck with that.

Well if you want to be an Excel ninja AND you see the potential, like a job where you could use that skill, VB is your only choice at the moment. The entire VB IDE is inside Excel.

Python and the rest, yes, they are more powerful and all, but cannot be invoked from Excel. For an Excel ninja, VB is love, VB is life.

More Core2Duo can do it. Any processor since then ever released can do it, even if they don't have VT-D or similar instructions.

if that doesn't work it means the capacitor has been corrupted and your entire motherboard needs replacing

You time the backlight being on with when the pixels have finished transitioning, so you avoid the blur effect of pixels transitioning. Persistence of vision makes it so you don't notice it flashing

Read the comments. A lot of times with these passive adapters they're meant for one specific purpose, and won't necessarily do the things you think they will.

I came across a page today where all instances of "ft" in any word was replaced with a little picture of a pencil, but only in Firefox. Other browsers had the letters normally.

Ayy senpai I had a retarded idea that's kinda working

I got a seedbox for life off of cloudatcost on sale and it's been working a treat for years, however the storage is a bit lacking and today I had the horrid idea to just make a shit ton of google accounts and mount all the google drive accounts on it for more free storage for life, and it's been going well and I'm using https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse for the mounting however transmission doesn't recognize the files in there.

I just wanna upload from these drives, but when I cp the files over (works a treat) and smack verify it gets about a second into verifying and then pretends I never hit verify in the first place (in transmission web interface).

What gives?

Also as payment have an OC reaction pic I made in response to a really cute girl with disgustingly phat tits.

Windows 7 is pretty forgiving. If something goes wrong just use easybcd to write new boot files, assuming you didn't just up an format it.

It has one fan header aside from the CPU fan, so 2 with a splitter, 3 if you split the CPU header

Hello /g/

My wifi adapter keeps disconnecting and it's really annoying.

I have tried updating the drivers (including uninstalling them too) AND fixing the power settings - but it keeps disconnecting.

What do I do?
>>
>>56009563
Get a new adapter
>>
>>56009609

Is it the adapter though? I've only had issues since a system update.

But yeah might do.

I just ordered a 6700k to replace my 6600k.
Was this a bad idea and should I cancel it?

I'm doing it because I don't want to replace my CPU for another 6 years or so and thought the i7 would be good for that. The less min fps drop in games is nice too. I'm scared of the heat it'll put out though. That's why I got rid of my fx9590 in the first place

Unless you render or do some heavy stuff you might barely see a difference, you should have spent the money on a SSD or something.

But if you do, it is worth it.
If you only play games then yes, cancel it.
