Seriously, Chromium. Firefox should be okay but I don't know your setup.

You could also use memevaldi and see how that works out, it's chrome based.

is there any use for old shitty laptops?

i have this pic related with a dead battery, so it shuts down every time the power cable moves a little (yes, chinese shitty design)
also it is so slow i can't open more than one tab one ANY browser without severe lags.

>>56019965
Yes, but not with the ASUS EEPC, i have one too, if it were somewhat more powerful you could do some neat stuff with it

But first gen Atom CPUs were shitty as fuck.
The second one is probably because you have the 1GB version and your HDD is damaged.

This monitor is advertised at 144Hz, but its refresh rate on my win10 is 60hz. I also want to get the monitor working as part of a triple monitor setup.

I have my graphics drivers up to date
I have it plugged in as a DVI-D
I went into the AMD control panel, and it has no option for 144hz, and when i go to set it maually to 144hz, the AMD control panel rejects the settings.
Same goes for the Windows monitor settings.

I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO! HELP ME, IM RETARDED.

>>56020030
I was using that. Are you sure it's not outdated at all? I'm new at this shit. Also I've been using r/monitors for help, which might be a bad idea? I'm not sure. The general consensus there seemed to be that this was better than the monitors on LI in the >$200 range.

I've currently a Radeon 390 and am seeking to upgrade.
Am I better off:
1.Buying an Nvidia 1070
2.Buying another 390 and crossfiring?

>>56020046
You don't have adaptive sync on, do you?

>>56020119
You don't.

You can make a full export of the registry using some command (I don't know the details), but trying to import it later will fuck up absolutely everything. Which means that such an export is no backup at all.

>>56020071
Its not outdated, barely any good monitors come out that are under $350.
These are some of the best you can get.

Most 1080p60Hz monitors are good.

Crossfire is a meme

So I just formatted my desktop and put a fresh install of Windows in. I've installed my dev tools (Visual Studio) and my CC programs (PS and LR) along with some other basics like VLC, Adobe Reader, and Deluge.

Anything else that I'll realize I need in the next few days or applications I should check out?

>>56020122
1070.

SLI/Crossfire most times gives worse perfomance than a single card.
Vulkan and DX12 are going to fix that but nothing yet.

>>56020140
So it's the same thing as regedit's File/Export? I actually wanted exactly what.
How do I make a proper backup anyway?

DVI-D can only go to 120Hz @ 1080p. You need a display port.

Am i going blind or all YouTube videos now have a flicking grain texture?

>>56020242
Interesting choice, hiding the prices. I can tell you're overpaying for that liquid cooling (which is pretty much dicksizing) and that PSU which could easily be 650w, maybe less. Don't buy seperate sticks of ram, get them as one set so they're factory paired. I don't know anything about your ssd, which is generally a bad sign. Why not go for a more common brand?

>>56020269
even if it only supported 120Hz (which the box says 144Hz, but you know, marketing gonna marketing) its not recognizing it, only allowing me to go up to 60Hz in all settings.

I cut out the prices because they are irrelevant, I don't live in the US and I'm not buying from any of those stores, I simply copied the products I had on my store's shopping cart to pcpartpicker to post it here on a recognizable format.

So do you recommend just a fan or some other liquid cooler?

I got two sticks because of the dual channel, not sure if this is wise.

I won't lie the SSD was a pretty random pick, I'll look into getting a more common brand.

>>56020242
>ram
Get quad channel
>ssd
kek get samsung 850 evo

>>56020337
Yeah I don't see any reason to go past fans unless you're trying to impress people or set pointless records. When you buy multiple sticks of ram, you want to make sure they are sold in the same package, not just two sticks of the same kind.

1) 2x4GB RAM sticks
2) 4x2GB RAM sticks
which is better and better by how much?

If you were talking about HDMI then yes, it would be all marketing. But there's a physical difference between dvi-d single link and dual link, and what you're trying to do requires dual link

Its dual link

>>56020400
You want dimms that have been tested to work together. They have been tuned to work with each freq. Most boards dont support quad channel, but you still a quad kit so they work optimally

DVI-D stands for DVI - Dual link, as I said in my original post.

Either way, its dual link, the monitor supports it, the cable is dual link, and the Card supports it.

Dvi-d does not stand for dual link. The D stands for digital. You can have dvi-d single or dvi-d dual.

Then I'm gonna guess you're having problems with windows 10. Apparently it keeps fucking up the multiple refresh rate thing. You can try this

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/3u2jbm/windows_10_dual_monitors_different_refresh_rate/

And make sure that windows isn't running a reinstalled copy of the Xbox app's GameDVR. Otherwise I think you're down to googling and praying. FWIW I wasn't trying to give you an stroke. I used to work phone tech support, and we learned that it's absolutely essential to rule out one possibility before moving on, or you end up spending an hour on the problem only to realize you missed something simple because you didn't double check. Good luck man.

So when I get WD greens for my nas, do I first plug it into my normal computer and modifying the head parking to be less aggressive? Then the drives are fine to put in any nas or computer and will retain those settings in the firmware?

my NAS is kinda shitty and I don't think it has built in options to adjust HDD firmware like that. reds are too expensive for me and also overkill.

I want a browser that is completely isolated from the rest of my system, without adblock or any cookie management, that I can use for stuff and things without infecting the rest of my PC with malware and adware and gods know what else. It must be able to retain its cookies between sessions, where the PC will be shut down.
I presume I want some sort of sandbox but I have no idea where to even begin discerning which one or if that's even what I actually want. Please help me /g/.

>>56020739
Id not be that suprised if win10 really was fucking around with the refresh rate

If you want the light version, go with sandboxie. If you want something with a little more robust security, throw it in a linux vm inside of virtualbox. I know there was some german company who was making premade browser-in-a-vm solutions but I can't remember off hand what they were called

Be careful though as with every sandbox environment there are "sandbox escapes". With the right type of malware your host machine can still be infected. This isn't me fear-mongering, just trying to help a fellow anon out.

>>56021077
Yes, I've been using it almost since the beginning. It kinda blows my mind people choose torrents over soulseek but I figure they must not know about it. It's far and away a better service for music than any public or private torrent.

Just follow the general guidelines. message someone before downloading more than a few albums from them at once. Share you own files. That's about it.

>>56021189
i agree, ive been using it for a while but just didnt know if theres any dangers to the p2p thing

>>56021060
If your carrier had restrictions on the types of things you could do, you could channel through to your home internet or another company to bypass them.

You could also run a vpn to your home to protect your info while on shady wifi connections

>>56021310
Someone can make a hotspot and call it 'free city wifi' or something and then watch all your information as it goes over the internet. A lot of apps put out unencrypted information that is super easy to steal, and they can also try man-in-the-middle attacks to get bank information and things.

You can also take an existing wifi like mcdonnalds or the public library and broadcast your device louder so that you become what people are attaching to even though there's legit wifi around. You could even do this in a hotel where there's a wifi password if everyone uses the same password.

Then you don't need watercooling, just get a regular fan. Also, switch from 6600K to 6600, and from a Z170 mobo to a B150 one. You can drop the alim to a 600W one and with that money invest in a real ssd and quad channel ram or maybe an i7 if you plan on streaming/video editting.

Also, double-check compatibility of your cpu, mobo, and ram.

For dealing with documents or programming it makes no difference
For things that rely on color accuracy like graphic design or video editing you want IPS

Productivity gives zero fucks either way, if you're not editing media. For most gaming and video you want IPS. For someone obsessed with first person shooter exclusively then high refresh rate and gsync are good features

If I want a monitor for both vidya and stuff like photo editing then a 1440p 144hz IPS monitor is pretty much the only way to go, right?

Call me an idiot but, why?

My friend is using an FX 8350, and some cheap ass motherboard he got from i dont know where. He had random freezes and crashes when playing games/stressing the CPU. I told him to disable CPU turbo, and it stopped the crashes. He has a 600W power supply and a 750ti, so I doubt it's power.
Is his motherboard probably fucked?

>>56022460
Was literally just looking this up, because I had the same thing happen to me last night when I was building MY new computer.

http://www.howtogeek.com/239815/why-cant-you-move-a-windows-installation-to-another-computer/

I guess it makes sense, but I am surprised there is no generic motherboard drivers that can boot a barebones environment.

>>56022460
You're an idiot. And windows is installed to a particular pc, drivers and all. Sometimes it will manage to repair itself in the new computer and find new drivers, but usually not.

>>56022487
The symptoms are so generic it's hard to attribute it to anything, but just make sure he has all the latest drivers/bios updates.

CPU Turbo is a gimmick on desktops anyway.

>>56022489
I can't believe this still surprises people.

>>56022510
Mainly because I was able to do it back in the XP days, but things have gotten more complex than then I guess. Or maybe I got lucky...

>>56022489
We'll ain't that a bitch.

And none of the iso sites are working on the only other computer in the house.

>>56022501
Yup we went and clean installed every single driver that he was using. Checked all power cables to make sure they were 100% in.

I said 'this is kinda what happens when you have an overclock too high' and we figured it out from there. Now he's locked at 4.0ghz which is fine, but he's got a 212evo on there so it kinda sucks that he can't make use of the OC headroom.

Windows readies itself to the parts of the hardware it is installed on.
Sometimes it may werk because the parts are simliar(Same chipset motherboard or CPU) others it just wont(From AMD to Intel).

Once that is done, it wont happen again unless you reinstall.

For some reason, I can't access BIOS on my laptop anymore, I have G580 Lenovo and the BIOS is on F2.

I have tried removing the hard drive and pressing F2 and also tried using the button that shows a dialog that has "BIOS setup" as a bootable option.

I have also tried removing the CMOS battery and trying after putting it back in.

Why can't I access BIOS? Is there a way to fix this from Windows? Also, does heating up of a laptop (due to being on for 24/7) cause this type of thing? Like burn the BIOS chip or something?

you're copying the data in b and assigning it to a
while when using pointers you're telling the computer where to look to find the data

I've been having issues with my internet connection for like a week now, keeps saying the DNS server isn't responding. Tried flushing DNS, changing DNS server address, unplugging the modem and all that but it still isn't working. The connection says it's actually working though, so I just don't know.

>>56022460
Drivers are installed based on your motherboard, you either need to reformat before you backup or you can delete the drivers and install the new ones.

Formatting before backing up is the easiest and fastest way to go.

>>56024211
These are the memory addresses that your values are stored in, a lot of game hacks use these to exploit, for example if your health is stored in 0xff5e6a, someone can scan that and manipulate it to change it to 99999 as its value.

>>56024211
What's in the &a?
If you are trying to print a pointer you should use printf("%p", &ptr)

>>56024203
Call your ISP?

>>56024235
yes, i meant that they work as symbolic links they hold a value for an indirection node

>>56024247
an int of value 1

>>56024266
Actually they shouldn't be ascii symbols, either numbers or letters by the way, and yeah.

iirc, &p will return the value and *p will return the memory address.

>>56024266
printf function expects the first argument to be a pointer to a format string, so it is probably printing garbage memory.

>>56024384
heh, im liking C

>>56024396
Yeah, C is strong but dangerous too. Have fun!

>>56024335
Well this was a fun to see, let me try to explain this.

The printf function thinks that the integer you passed to it is a character string.
And strings in C are just arrays of characters, with a null terminator appended to them.

When a is 72 it looks something like this is memory, 72, 0, 0, 0.
It just so happens that the string "H" has the same memory layout as an integer 72 on your machine.
It will look different on machines where the integers are stored like 0, 0, 0, 72.

Try setting a to 0xFFFFFF if you want to confirm this. The program should print garbage and die.

The correct way to print a value of an integer pointer is printf("%d", *a);

You should enable warnings on your compiler so that it will catch errors like this.

> When i try this it throws
You can't dereference a, because a is not a pointer.
Because a is not a pointer, you can pass it as it is.

int a = 123;
int *aptr = &a;

printf("address of a %p\n", &a);
printf("address of aptr %p\n", aptr);
printf("value of a %d\n", a);
printf("value of aptr %d\n", *aptr);

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.

It's a very dangerous world out there in the C land.
Some compilers can warn about these things better than others.
There are tools which can be used to debug problems like these (gdb, valgrind, etc.)

>>56019965
You can use them as routers, firewalls, NFS, or as an additional monitor.

Also, if you get one of those battery charging stations that are actually good, you can revitalize the cells in the battery.

>>56024635
> Oh, so its a buffer overflow right?
Yup, printf expects its format string to be null terminated and will keep reading bytes until a null terminator is found. 0xFFFFFF does not contain any bytes with a null terminator.

>>56019597
No

>>56024763
>null terminator
ohhh
so i use a while and check for it to avoid out of bounds?

>>56024878
You could do that, many of the C standard library string functions also work like that.
Note that the vocals array in your previous post does not contain a null terminator.

You should write it like this:
const char *vocals = "aeiou;
or
char vocals[] = {'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u', '\0'};

- How do I/Is there a way to shrink an EXT4 partition? If I understand correctly you're supposed to resize the filesystem and then resize the partition but it seems strange. Won't I lose my data by doing so?
- Is it even possible to install windows even if I have a linux installation already up and running? Won't the windows install overwrite the entirety of my disk?

I have a 1TB hard drive that I don't know what to do with.

As for the extra steps, what are they? Other than reconfiguring your bootloader via a livecd.

would it be dumb to buy a freesync monitor with an nvidia card? The gsync version costs $280 more and seems like a ripoff.

is screen tearing even noticeable when you have high frame rates? I'd get an amd card but they don't have any high end ones until next year right?

Sorry.

Personally, I used the GParted live CD when configuring my system.

Afterwards, I used the command line there in order to access the partition with my linux install and updated the GRUB.

I'm sure you could find out another way, though.

Even though it's supposed to transfer it (~ is a valid character, as far as I know), or at least replace it with "_", it does neither and just goes
>Error: Connection timed out after 10 seconds of inactivity
>Error: File transfer failed
And I'm pretty sure those same files were transferring just fine before a clean W10 reinstall. What can I do to fix this?

install gentoo

Anyone knows a good site where I can learn algorithm from basic to advanced level?

If I just want to watch animu in 1080p, run visual studio and android studio how powerful of a graphics card should I get? I think 6 or 8 gbs of ram will be enough, but I'm not sure on the graphics card.

Quadro M4000.

At what rate do SSDs lose data?
Like say i want to take a trip for a week and turn my computer off will all my data still be there?

i got 2x 4gigs of ddr3 ram in my rig

a friend of mine had a spare single 8 gig ram stick

can i just slap it into my machine and be done with it or is there something i have to consider?

If its a slower clock speed than what you have your computer will lower it to that
Ex. 1600mhx 2x4gig and a single 8gig 800mhz stick = 16gb 800mhz

Is there any /g/ approved printer?

I doubt you'd see any loss in under 3 months, probably longer
