How do I call, and implement a method from another class properly in C# ?

Example pls

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?

>>56009384
Easy way? No.
The nearest thing that I know of would be finding the ip range of the servers this program connects to and then messing with the Windows routing table to force OpenVPN as the default gateway for that range (the OpenVPN host has to be configured to support this, not all do). However this will affect all the programs trying to connect to those IP addresses, not only the program you want to.

Aight hear me out /g/. I need soemthing very specific. I need some site or something, a link anyone can click that would instantly show to whoever clicks it what I need. And what I need is something like this.
Suppose I want to show everyone in the world my schedule, for whatever it is that I am doing. Something like, I will set on that site that I will be doing this from 7:00 - 14:00.
And then, whoever clicks on the site, will see these time numbers translated into their timezones. So I will set it from 7:00 my time, but someone in a +6 time zone will see it as 13:00.
Or if something like this doesn't exist, I need a timezone converter for dummies. Shit is complicated.

It's possible to remove the center screw? It's hard as fuck. I just want to remove the platters because they are cute.

So something freaked me out yesterday and I thought I'd ask. I turned my computer on the sleep setting, it turned off, no sound and then I left the room. When I came back the computer was on with the login password thing up, so I put in my password and the chrome pages I had up previously were gone.

I don't know what the fuck happened or how it could have happened. /g/ is not my home board so it could quite possibly be something easily explainable so I just wanted to see out of curiosity.

I just ordered a 6700k to replace my 6600k.

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

hello /g/ i require your assistance

i did a hard reset for my computer and when it was supposed to start up windows it went into overdrive, fans running in full speed, with a black screen. After 20 min it was still the same then it suddenly shit down on its own. i am only able to go into the bios. It ust seemed windows just wasn't installed so i tried to do it from the bios with a flash drive but still i'm not able to get windows on my drive. Is that just my ssd that is fucked?

>>56011461
>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 6600k has no hyperthreading and is clocked at 3.5ghz instead of 4ghz, if you put your 6600k to 4ghz it's basically the same chip minus 4 threads

in practice it will only ever make a difference under extreme cpu load like video rendering (gpus do it better), hash cracking (gpus do it FAR better) or for running SEVERAL high thread count programs near max load (as overclocking will give better performance than an extra core unless your program uses both a lot of cores and uses them to their max)

tl;dr you dun goofed

Going on holiday soon, hoping to get a 10k-20k mah one for the journey, but I can't tell which ones are valid and which ones are chinkshit

In newer versions of firefox the one click bookmark star has it's behavior changed a little.

Before if you clicked the star, the color would change and that would be it. If you wanted to change stuff you'd click it again to drop down a menu.

In newer versions it will automatically drop down a menu to give you options. Then you have to click again to close that menu.

Is there a way to bring back the previous behavior?

You've just thrown away a bunch of money. I hope you're gonna sell your 6600k,how much do you think you can get for it?

Buying a cpu now before zen is a rather bad idea, especially when you don't need to. We can finally hope for significant improvements in cpus again since Sandy.

Having a system for long is just a bad idea. Since higher end parts are less price efficient, you'll have a better and cheaper system over all if you upgrade a bit more often and buy midrange.

The difference between your two cpus aren't very big.

>>56011956
>>56012003
Forgot to say. I have a monoprice charger personally. For charging purposes it works just fine (~$20 for 10,000 mAh). But for something like powering a raspberry pi....it cant produce a consistent 5V. Under load it drops randomly, ranging from 4.7V to 5.12V.

You might have to write a custom proxy server that sends all packets from your program on to the tun/tap interface and the rest to the regular interface.

Should I buy a microphone if I don't have any friends?
I haven't used skype or had a friend since 2013, but a real mic is so cheap now.

Question about PSU and power efficiency.
Why is it important to respect the power efficiency of a PSU for your system ? Will your PUS run hotter, be louder if it's too powerful for your system ? or it doesn't matter ?

>>56012526
No.

But there's lots of places to go talk to decent people.

Also what's a "real mic" that's so cheap?

>>56012567
power efficiency will play a role both in the heat produced by the psu and the amount of power being sucked out of the wall compared to the amount being piped out.

if you pull 100W from the wall with a 70% efficiency, you'll get 70W out (and thus 30W of heat).

>>56012567
psu are usually most efficient with ~50% load

80+ is preferred for heat/longevity but from 80+ to platimnum there isn't much difference in power consumption costs.

File: fucking wifi, how does it work.png (46KB, 561x480px)

46KB, 561x480px

Let's assume I want to add a wifi ap to my network to extend the range, but can't use wires.
I've got a spare router, so I use wds on that and connect to the more "upstream" router/modem combo, and assign it an IP in the same network.
Now, the devices see each other - or at least the main sees the second one, because I can access the config pages of both when I connect to the first AP, but only the second when I connect to the second. And I can't ping the first AP from my clients when I connect to the second.
I assume it doesn't forward the packets correctly, but what should I add to the routing table? They're on the same god damn fucking network, it should work without routing tables voodoo, shouldn't it?
What am I doing wrong?

what are some places to go to if I want to talk?

>>56012652
There can be a difference if your electricity cost is high. There's also a difference between 240V (more efficient) vs 120V. But in the states it's a bit hard to get 240V and I'm not sure if 3 phase power is worth the trouble.

>>56012682

buy ssd first, its life changing purchase
for the price of 3TB drive you should be able to buy 250GB samsung 750/850 evo or crucial mx200

The fact that you stop using that hdd for daily booting and caching of browser and being used 5000 times a minute will also make your old HDD last more.

Does one tab crashing in firefox still take the whole browser down? I switched to chrome back in the day because of that. There have been a few times where I thought of switching back due to issues ive had with chrome but they always seem to resolve themselves and im already too locked into the ecosystem. It is really nice whenever I wipe one of my computers I can log into chrome and it will sync all my extensions and bookmarks

Whenever I install Windows, I usually create a 40GB partition for it. How big should I make my Linux partition? Or is it not as simple as that?

I was thinking of buying a cheap GPU for $30 to see if it works, is that a good idea?

>>56014179
Open that fucker up and look to see if it jumped out of its slot or something improbable (it's probably fucked though)

>>56014392
Before you do that, try switching what PCIe slot the GPU uses.

>>56014440
Already tried that and it didn't work.

>>56014450
It's probably dead then. Try the $30 tester and if that works consider baking your GPU.

Hey /g/, I'm in the process of upgrading to a couch station, I would basically have my normal setup (27' next to a vertical monitor) behind my couch and in front of the couch a huge ass monitor.

I've been looking for months and when I was almost ready to buy a Philips BDM4350UC I found out it has terrible burn in issues and now I'm kind of back to the starting point.

Are TVs really that bad for gaming? Is there any 40''+ with acceptable ghosting and input lag?

I figured I will either buy some 1080p for <400 euros and then upgrade both my graphic card and monitor to 4k in a few years or spend a bit more now (<900) and buy a decent graphic card when they will actually be able to support 4k gaming maxed out.

Please please help me out.

Why does /g/ hate lossy file formats so much? Doesn't the quality only degrade if the file is opened in some kind of editing program and the saved?

I need help diagnosing a problem. I am trying to install a program and it gives me an error on Windows 7:

"Setup was unable to create the directory
'C:\Windows\TMP\is-H1L96.tmp'

Error 5:Access is denied."

Now when I ran it as an Administrator it was fine and I installed it perfectly. So why am I getting an error about my environment variables? I did change the TEMP and TMP directories before, but as it didn't work as intended, I changed the TEMP and TMP variables back. And why is this not a problem when I run it as an administrator? I also have Symantec Endpoint Protection on so could that also not give me permission to run an installer?

>>56017124
because it being a jpeg already it has lost some information already.
you can go to any file format from lossless, but you can't do the reverse.

>>56017037
Not exactly, its one of those things that can happen but never will happen to you.

Anyway just do it to block them, nobody likes ads.

>>56017167

Also, under my Environment Variables, I have:

User variables for <user>
TEMP as C:\Windows\TEMP
TMP as C:\Windows\TMP

System variables
TEMP as C:\Temp
TMP as C:\Temp

>>56017173
So as long as the file isn't opened in an editing program, it can be transfered and sent to other people an infinite amount of times without any degradation, right?

My stupid question.

Why isn't my new build outputting video? I've reconnected everything twice, made sure there was thermal past on the cpu, reseated the ram, tried both the graphics card and the onboard graphics from the motherboard, tried VGA, DVI, AND HDMI inputs on both monitor and tv and I can't figure this shit out

Any ideas?

>>56017210
Are you plugging the video cable into the GPU?

>>56017204
you can open it as many times as you want in editing programs.
you can even save it as lossless again, but you will never recover the information lost due to jpeg compression.

to create that jpeg you had a lossless image, be it either from the cameras sensor or or some image editing program, which then got converted into a jpeg.
the information is now lost and cannot be recovered.
that's why saving in lossless is preferred to some extent.

>>56017184

Im trying to flash a fresh firmware on my Tmobile Galexy S6 but wanted to know whats the latest firmware that it runs. Is it 5.1.1?

Interested in buying a radar detector. I live in one of the few states where they're actually legal, so don't need to worry about being caught with it. Kinda confused with all the options. Do I need to shell out $300+, or will one of the ones around $100 do the job?

>>56017322
If you have a GPU then you have to plug the video cable into it. It won't work with the motherboard.

Is the computer turning on and just not outputting any video or is it not working at all?
Check to make sure power cables are all plugged in properly and try again.

When I turn off the wi-fi from my modem I have nice, steady, low ping, like 30-60ms. As soon as I turn on the wifi it fucking skyrockets anywhere from as low as 500ms to as high as 3000ms. What's the deal?

I am not trolling when I ask this.
If I want to get paid around 40k a year working for the government and invading people's privacy, is this a good degree to get?

Where the fuck is all my thermal paste going, this is the second time in a month I've had to replace it due to overheating. It's just disappearing.
>inb4 put more
I put alot

>>56017429
Try changing the wifi password first. See if that improves anything.

which one is better for ricing? Ubuntu or Mint?

>>56017467
pic yours? the paste isn't going anywhere, it's all around the rim
probably something else causing the heating issue

>>56009295
what is multiple indirection for

>>56017467
Your HSF is probably kill, its not your paste.

Also buy some liquids to clean the old paste.

>>56017467
What CPU/cooler? Overheating as in "these temps look kinda hot", or actual overheating protection?

>>56009295
If I am recording audio at 44.1 kHz, would the highest frequency possible be 22.05 kHz?

>>56017415
The computer turns on just fine, fans are spinning, all that jazz, it's just won't output any video. Power cables are all plugged in just fine

>>56017467
More likely your not getting good contact with the heatsink after its installed. Maybe a mount is broken.

Your Heat sink might also be crap try with another if you can.

Okay guys if you were wondering I fixed the issue. I took the exact same directories from my laptop (also running Windows 7) and put it over to this computer. For both Variables TEMP and TMP under User variables for <user>, the directory is "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp%"

This also fixed a bunch of issues for me, such as being able to play CSGO, actually view jpeg's and png's with Windows Photo Viewer, and actually open Word documents I've downloaded from my email without the need of using Administrator Privileges.

I wanna backup my i3 config before I switch distros. Is it as simple as making a copy of my i3 config file that's kept in ~/.config/i3 ?

>threads always at 290+ posts whenever I have a stupid question

Anyway, my gaming machine is a non-k Skylake i5 6500 over clocked using the base clock, my cpu speed keeps fluttering between 4156 mhz to 4162 mhz, just want to know if anyone overclocks in this method knows if this is normal behavior

Mobo have any beep or error codes? Spinning fans isn't enough. You pc might be dead.

it's seeping into the metal, after a while it will soak fully and you won't need to replace the paste again

>>56017663
No beep or error codes, leds turn on fine too....i literally just put this build together today, I'm gonna be so pissed if it's dead

>>56017715
Is the GPU fan spinning? Did you make sure the card is correctly inserted into the PCI-E slot? Are all the power pins connected properly?

>>56017736
Yes to all

>>56017736
Please take a picture of both the inside of your case, as well as the back of the case. Clear, well lit photos if you can.

>>56017715
Sounds dead bro. Got a spare computer you can test parts in? You want to break it down to figure out whats not working. Also reconnect the power supply pins. All of them. loose connection can cause random things to happen.

When the maximum refresh rate of a monitor is 60 Hz or 144 Hz or anything in between - how do synthetic benchmarks report refresh rates like 750 FPS or any value far above the normal refresh rate of the monitor? How does that work? Or how do these guys get 600 FPS playing first person shooters?

Thank you for your reply.

>>56017817
The game is actually running at X FPS, while the screen only displays as fast as it can. That's why, for example, without VSync, you get screen tearing, because the game is going too fast for the screen to match it's speed with the refresh rate.

Fuck, no I don't

Having mac problems after 10 years.

>Can shut down manually and turn it back on without problems but unplugging the computer (after shutting it down of course) or it being turned off from a power outage I have to leave it unplugged for at least 24 hours to get it to turn back on
>Flash makes the fans go crazy when it didn't before I had these power problems
>Observing the activity monitor the CPU isn't really being pushed, but the computer runs hot as fuck at times
>Display blacked out on me while watching a youtube livestream with 4chan open on another window, had to restart computer

I'm not afraid to open the case, I've already done it before. Is there anything I can do to keep this computer going for a few more years?

I follow you - it is running the rate it says but you are seeing the max Hz of the monitor - thanks again for the advice brother!

>>56017900
Stay rad my thicc preferring brother.

>>56017877
You might have to RMA what you think isn't working then.

Go back double check your work. Try booting with just a cpu mobo and ram, see if you get any codes.

Also try testing ram sticks independently in each ram slot. I had a board with a single bad slot that kept the whole thing from booting when used.

what manga reader sould I use?

>>56018103
One that tells you every 3 seconds how much of a weeb you are.

>>56018155
eh i just wanna read manga. that would be the first one. also
>weeb as an insult
>on 4chan

>>56018167
any basic image viewer

Are there any good alternatives to ClipConverter?
It's been giving me nothing but shit lately
>videos are getting corrupted here and there for no reason
>please disable your adblocker(s)
>please get an account to stop ads if you don't like them
Alternatively, what's the best program for grabbing Youtube videos?

So my laptop suddenly won't turn on.
No spills, falls, damage or anything else. Even with a confirmed working battery both in and out, still nothing.

Any ideas, or just chalk it up to cheap chink manufacturing since it's a few years old.

>>56018167
*a manga

>>56018176
ffmpeg
youtube-dl

>>56018176
Handbrake

>>56018103
I personally like putting an entire volume and such into one large .zip or .rar and then changing it to .cbr

CDisplay is what I use btw

>>56018176
There's a billion userscripts out there that let you download them directly from Youtube's servers. Clipconverter used to do that in the past too, no idea why they changed it.

>>56018103
>>56018203
I prefer CDisplayEx.

>>56017334
Bump. Really need an answer to this.

>>56018203

thanks for the reply. Should've said that I use linux. But I guess wine is my friend.

What's a good pc build guide? Just watched a corsair i5 build on pcpartpicker, I have a similar case, and it looked like it would take maybe an hour max if I was moving slowly. Only thing it didn't show was how to put in the disc drive, as I have no idea how I'd be installing my OS without it.

>>56018305
>Only thing it didn't show was how to put in the disc drive
I personally prefer an external unless you're going to be using it heavily.
But it's nothing special, you just connect it to your PSU.

Would JUST deleting every partition of an HDD with fdisk WITHOUT creating any new partitions or formatting fuck up a drive?

>500GB 2.5"
>Windows won't boot and tries to tell me there's a problem
>Even the fucking BIOS splash screen hangs for a minute
>Windows disc refuses to do anything with it
>Pull out Ubuntu Live CD

>Can access files on it but takes forever

>GParted hangs during search
>Decide to try fdisk because I don't know
>Have no idea what the fuck I'm doing
>Delete all partitions
>Don't create any new ones
>Write changes

>Can no longer access drive because of an input/ output error

Does doing that fuck it up worse, or did I do nothing wrong and it's just a fucked drive?

Here's a funny .webm for your time.

Run Adwcleaner and malwarebytes.

How capable is the 4670k today? My friend is getting ride if his computer with a 4670k and a 760gt, figured I could swap in a 1060 and have a decent setup for ~500

>>56018375
You shouldn't need one.

>>56018414
how do I install my OS, I have a windows 7 disk

>>56018469
Assuming you don't have a free serial key, just download an iso and make a USB installer.
Microsoft has a free official tool.

>>56018412
I have the 4690K. It's handling extremely well so far. The 4670K should have no problem.

>What's a good pc build guide? Just watched a corsair i5 build on pcpartpicker,
Logicalincrements.com, go wild.

>How to install OS
Download Windows 7 ISO, check SHA-1, if it matches download Rufus and get a USB and make it bootable, connect to your PC, windows installer will start, install in your HDD.
Done.

Then install drivers and alternatively updates.

why is pacman exclusive to arch? why can't it be ported to other distros?

I installed Windows on a partition a while ago and now grub won't detect it... how can I fix it? All the OS file are still there

>>56018776
which windows version did you install?

windows 8 and 10 have their own bootshit, you need to install them first and then install linux afterwards

>>56018760
Because it does everything properly, and they'd rather stick to their shitty packmanager and make it a fucking glorius pain in the ass for its users

How do all these 3rd party carrier unlock services work? Do they just replace the sim reader or something? Is it something anyone can do? And how much blacklisting risk is there?

Does semen make a proper coolant liquid for a "water" cooled system?

>>56018824
I had w10 installed and working, then I cleaned up my hard a few weeks ago and may have deleted system volume information.. or something.

Now I don't know how to fix it.

>>56018928
Delete system32 and reboot. The system will recognize folders missing, and will reinstall everything required.
