Ill shoot,

I just recently got a shipment for a new pc from amazon...mobo, an HD, I ssd, power supply, vidcard, etc

Now, fuck me because I ordered in the summer, but all the contents were really fucking HOT, even inside their amazon boxes.

Is the heat from being transported from the warehouse to my doorstep something I should worry about?

I updated my android to kernel 3.4.0 somewhat recently
Before the update whenever I connected my phone to my desktop via USB a little notification would pop up asking if I wanted to transfer files with MTP or something.

Now on 6.0 that option doesn't show up and even searching "usb" or "mtp" in my phone's settings it doesn't bring anything up.

How do I enable MTP on my android?

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.

Gon' post it there too , fuck me daddy

How long should I wait for Razer to stop trying to milk retarded buyers and finally to price the Razer Core close to what it's worth?

So I just got Antergos. I followed this guide (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=214313) to install the driver for my RX 480. I followed everything exactly but it seems like it isn't working properly. I had to force my display to 1920x1080 from the default 1024x768 for Xorg and Steam doesn't run. Help?

>>56034342
When scanf reads a string, it appends a null terminator ('\0') to the end of the input.
And as we all know, for loops terminate if the condition is 0.

>>56033421
say, why does that cat not like chicken?

>>56034342
because scanf automatically appends a terminating null character

>>56034434
>>56034418
I undersand why it stops, i don't understand why if cad[i] is cad[0] it even runs the for

shouldn't it terminate as soon as it beggins?

or does it starts at i=1?

>>56034464
No, if i change i to 1 then it skips the first char

>>56034464
that if checks if cad[i] is alphanumeric, not if i !=0

>>56033886
Bumping myself

>>56034494
but doesn't the syntax mean:
"for i in range 0 to cad[0]"?

does cad[0] mean the whole string?

>>56034523
for iterates through every character of that string
if inside that loop checks if that character is alphanumeric. if it is, then it prints that message, if it's not it simply goes to another iteration of loop

>>56034550
I know what the code does, i don't understand why it iterates through all, first cause cad[i] is a char, not an integer, and second cause char[i] at the moment of for declaration would be cad[0], aka, the first char is the termination value

unless of course index 0 refers to the whole string and not to the first char of the string

>>56034630
and to make things messier, if i try changing it for cad[0] it loops for ever

does i change on every iteration? if so, then do null terminators stop the for completely?

if so, is this even the correct way to do it, or just a hack abusing how C internally works?

>>56034630
>>56034665
>does i change on every iteration
yes it does, that's why you have i++
i starts at 0, checks if cad[i] is different than null, executes loop body that prints that message, then it increments i and goes back to start

Okay, so, for naturally stops if there's a null?

Sorry.

That's what I found for laptop CPUs, anyways. Desktops might be different, but I doubt it.

any up-to-date bsd distribution or I can give up ?

>>56034764
for stops when condition evaluates to false
0 is zero as false, non-zero values are treated as true
cad[i] is non-zero when it's different than \0 (null byte)
you could rewrite it as

for(i=0; cad[i] != '\0'; i++)

does anyone have any ideas what to look into as the possible problem here? Or had something similar happen? I tried restarting with "disable reboot on system failure", no change - it's not a BSOD or anything, it just shuts off completely for a second and then restarts, like you saved settings in the BIOS.

No, I will not install Windows 10. I could install Linux and do PCI passthrough but I'd really rather not.

I'm building a new PC guys, and the I5 6600k doesnt come with a fan/heatsink, so I ordered this thing

Its fucking huge, bigger than my regular fan/heatsink on my sandy bridge 2500k

Was this an over kill because I dont plan to OC the cpu? Also, Its heavier than my current one, would the weight ever stress out the motherboard to cause some hardware issue?

I bought a watercooler but the whole thing is too big for my case.
My question is, can i still use the fan? Can i have it direct wind onto my srock cooler?

Has anyone tried reviving arcades but with VR instead?

You would have to lease a decently large place. It would have maybe 25-30 rooms, rented by the hour. Each room would have a VR headset connected to a high spec PC, and every PC connected to a subnet in a LAN.

The games would have to be specially coded so that at the beginning of a chosen game, you can choose to match up with other people in the network. That way, if someone wanted, they could bring a group of friends and they can play some shooting game or whatever together.

Why is so much text symbols in my new arch install? Its like this on two separate installs on two different computers. It seems like every time I reboot it gets worse. How the shit do I fix this?

Is it worth it to get a high refresh rate monitor that can strobe the backlight or is it only a minor difference?

>>56035877
I have a Dell Optiplex 7010 by the way. I know that the difference isn't much but I can dedicate 2GB to a RAMDisk, and 4GB to a VM and that way I can have 16GB for my main OS.

>>56035860

Check the size of the bay, like 3.5inch for HDDs. 2.5 SSDs, 5.25 for dvds. If you need to fit a smaller device in a larger bay they have cheap adapters.

>>56035898
Well I don't know off hand the difference that "u" makes in this case, but assuming it is compatible, you're still probably going to mess up whatever dual channel configuration you have and screw with the timings. No use reducing your main system performance just so you have more breathing room for VMs

Gotcha, so it's all about physical compatibility with those things(memory card reader/CD drive). Good to hear.

>>56035938
True

>>56034814
Yes, they use the same socket, but they're incompatible.

It's like the S1 Socket from AMD and the four generations of CPUs made for it.

Although the opposite is true, older motherboards cannot support newer CPUs.

>>56034936
> They can be compatible, just needs a BIOS update, which most laptops never got.
Really?

So I can put an Ivy Bridge into my T420?

Last time I checked, it was because the motherboards were built with only 5 channels or whatever, while the Ivy chips used 6.

Yes you can

>>56035452
> Was this an over kill because I dont plan to OC the cpu?

Why would you do this?

>>56035820
a.) will try. I didn't think there'd be any but one of the driver packages might have put one there.
b.) I just plugged in a DVD drive and installed that way. I used a PS2 keyboard since the mobo has a port for it. apparently the motherboard's compatibility settings let a USB mouse work, though I didn't notice it until after I'd reinstalled a few times.

took off my evo 212+ to re-seat it horizontally and I noticed some small metal flakes about 2-3 I could see around my motherboards pcb in random areas, I blew them off but I know there is a good chance there are more possibly from the heatsink fins from fidgeting with it.

Should I be worried about letting it be?

These little flakes are about the size of your average dust partical. So no really flakes you would think but really teeny tiny ones.

>>56035801
My card reader is 3.5", so if you have any external bays that are the same size, they should be good.

CD/DVD drives are 5.25", and there are definitely bays for those.

If you don't have any 3.25" external bays, you can always get an adapter.

Sapphire RX 470 for about $170 vs an RX 480 4GB as of RIGHT NOW.

I've been waiting too damn long for an RX 480 4GB; it seems like a legit paper launch as of right now. I'm not waiting anymore, the most a week maybe.

I'm not buying a GTX 1060 for one the current price for it is too expensive for a marginal increase in performance vs the 480 and plus I'm not planning on buying a new GPU in one or two years but rather keep whatever I buy until I start seeing unplayable frames (~40 FPS in 1440p/1080p) which is basically like 3-5 years.

I could probably save up for a GTX 1070 for like another month however I work $8.05 an hour and have other priorities as well. For instance, I plan on 1440p gaymin' in the future so I'm trying to get a 2K monitor as well.

tl;dr I want a video card fucking NOW for $150~200ish for 1080p and modest 1440p gaymin in more casual games like Dota/Overwatch (atleast 30 FPS.) There's an RX 470 for $170.

I just bought a new tablet and I'm trying to connect my Xbox 360 controller and a keyboard to it with a USB OTG cable, but it just says "preparing USB device" without actually being recognized by the tablet.

Hello YOU PEOPLE, I enjoy your company. I have a question! I set out to build a system to play GAME at X FPS. I look around at benchmarks and find a GPU that can do it with the 6700k. Now I look at the CPU benchmarks for that game, they're usually conducted with a 1080, if the CPU bottle necks the 1080 down to 100 fps but the GPU I'm buying is only capable of 99 FPS - how do I calculate my loss?
Am I going to lose the same % of performance? Is that FPS just the cap for that CPU?

>>56037734

Run it on cool for a few hours and see if the room you're trying to cool isn't stagnant as fuck.

Dry option is a blessing, and pretty close to running a dehumidifier, except you also get cold air.

Say I have an AES-256 encrypted Windows 10 partition achieved with VeraCrypt.

On normal bootup, I am met with a prompt for my decryption password, which is great. However, I am worried of what could be done to bypass this.

Couldn't someone who is trying to steal sensitive data chose to boot from a repair/install disk and delete the encrypted partition and recover the data through typical recovery means?

Or could they also simply reinstall windows or another OS on a separate partition (or even drive) that can then attempt to explore the encrypted drive?

Basically what I am asking is would there be a way to bypass an encrypted Windows partition and read its contained data?

>>56037634
No dude. The whole point of a factory reset is that you can't get jack shit off of it afterwards.

>>56037648
Usually the GPU is the bottleneck. If you're going nvidia this is especially true because they are easier on the processor.

>>56037687

>>56035922
Don't wait for it, just get a new one as soon as possible. The next time something happens it probably won't just be noises.

It exists because people will try to market anything, even if it doesn't work at all. Factory resets are designed so you can sell your phone and not worry about the data.

I'm not sure if you're trying to make a portable copy of 7 or simply a usb installer, but either way your problem is that you haven't patched the copy of 7 with the usb3 drivers. You need to patch the install with the tool from your mobo manufacturer, or if that's not available try this

Bitdefender free. Completely automatic

Could some sysadmin or /hsg/ anon check my work please?

I'm setting up ZFS (on Linux), which I've never used before. I'm gonna be using mirror vdevs, since I hear that's the easiest way for a hobbyist to make his storage system easily expandable - since I can buy more drives two at a time, but six at a time would be difficult. Now, since I need to be able to swap in random drives of varying brands, I've heard that I need to make sure that if I'm swapping drive A for drive B, that drive B isn't a handful of sectors smaller than A. Which might happen if A and B are different makes and models, even if they have the same nominal capacity. So even though I hear ZFS likes having the whole drive, I'm instead going to make partitions of a fixed size a bit smaller than the disk, so if I have to swap later I know I can make a partition of exactly the same size. I know that /dev/sdX names aren't constant, and I want drives to be identified correctly even if I plug them into different SATA ports or controllers, so I'm going to give them to ZFS via /dev/disk/by-partuuid. (Once I've partitioned the disks I'm going to stick labels with the part uuid on them to keep track, in addition to just writing down what I did)

what if anything is wrong with my plan?

it's a meme. See it used to be a very difficult and time-consuming process to install Gentoo, so when someone came along asking "wat loonix iz gud" people would say "install Gentoo" meaning "go on a wild goose chase so you won't be back for many hours"

Gentoo is now much simpler to work with. If you can follow a guide you can install it. It's still more work and more time than installing most other distros though. The meme, however, stuck firm.

What are some must have CLI tools? Basically anything remotely useful...

>>56040001
It doesn't matter, all z170 have extra 20 lanes. Clearly you don't know shit.

>>56039914
Any with imagemagick or something similar

>>56040014
No, they CAN have an additional 20 lanes retard

Don't worry about any updates that involve upgrading to 10. That's not a thing any more.

Any advice for this mid-ish range PC

>>56033421
How do I fucking stop Windows 10 from updating my GPU drivers? It keeps fucking shit up for me.

>>56040210
Yeah, put it out of its misery by selling it on ebay.

>>56040233
You agreed to forced updates when you installed Windows 10.

install gentoo

>>56040257
Is there seriously no way to stop this? I need to wipe everything with DDU and reinstall drivers manually to stop my PC from BSODing every time there is a new driver update. That's ridiculous.

What's the best place to get a domain name? Not cheap but won't try to screw me

Go back to 8.1/7

>>56040360
I guess I'll do that then. Any performance difference in gayming Form 8.1 to 10?

Does a USB headphone adapter sound better than a regular aux port in a laptop? My aux port is fucked so i'm getting a USB adapter anyway but I been reading stuff online that it sounds better because of less electrical interference or some shit

I have 3 24" monitors, and I want to run CS GO. But I want the game to show up only on my middle monitor. It shows up on my left only. I am using Windows 10.

>>56040375
Maybe

>>56040375
It's an external USB DAC, it depends on the individual product.

>>56040375
Depends on the quality of said adapter/DAC. If you get some 5-dollar piece of shit, it might sound worse.

>>56040381
Set your middle screen as the primary.

>>56040210
I have that exact case and I have to unplug the front case fan. You know the red one at the front because it makes this annoying flickering noise. I think one of the wires, or something, protrudes and the fan blades hit it and it gets really annoying. Otherwise it's a big and solid case. I keep it under my desk.

I would just say get an i5. Also you have a Z170 motherboard. I am not too sure since I haven't been looking out for a computer but it seems like that's more for CPUs that can be overclocked so it has features they aren't necessary for you. Maybe downgrade to some H series and upgrade the CPU. Definitely, because if you decide to upgrade your graphics card it might bottleneck it.

I'm planning to buy an Intel i5-6500.
Will the stock cooler be enough, or should I invest in that 212 evo that everyone and their dog recommends for a base HSF upgrade?

Do CPU coolers, both stock and aftermarket, come with thermal paste?
If they do, is it sufficient, or is it recommended to get a little $6 tube of thermal paste as well?

>>56040375
What ever you do, don't buy it from Conrad.
They just take a cheap Chinese product you get directly from China for 1€ (including shipping) and slap their logo on it and sell it for 10€.

>>56040403
How?

>>56040366
I wouldn't think so. Check out some performance tests. I'd say Windows 10 is more refined and the devs focus on it more.

>>56040366
No DX12. That's it. Vulkan is 8.1/7/Linux.

>>56040417
you only need an aftermarket cooler if you're going to overclock. you are not, since you aren't getting a K CPU, so stock will be fine. some aftermarket sinks are quieter though.

the stock cooler comes with some pre-applied thermal goop, last I had one. most aftermarket sinks come with a tube of compound.

What do sequential and random read/write mean?
If it is writing randomly, how would it know not to override the information at the spot it randomly selects should the spot already have data?
Why are sequential speeds noted in MB/s, but random speeds in an unexplained unit called IOPS?
What do these speeds mean for actual usage?
Is one more important than the other?
Why are HDD speeds only describing the speed at which the disk spins rather than the potential data transfer rate like the sequential read/write seems to describe?

>>56040583
>What do sequential and random read/write mean?
sequential is when blocks are read/written in order, like "10,11,12,13,14..."
random is when it is not
>If it is writing randomly
it's not fully random is real world usage, think of it more as "not sequential", than actually random
>IOPS
input/output operations per second, aka, how many discrete things are being done each second
>What do these speeds mean for actual usage?
depends on the application, for example, copying a single large file need more sequential speed than iops, where databases typically need high iops, and they're reading and writing lots of different smaller pieces of information
>Why are HDD speeds only describing the speed at which the disk spins rather than the potential data transfer rate like the sequential read/write seems to describe?
they typically do list their sequential speeds officially somewhere

>>56040583
Sequential means the section of the drive being accessed is right next to each other
Random means that random parts of the drive are being accessed
IOPS is how many operations per second the drive can perform
High IOPS will not guarantee fast random read/write but not having enough IOPS will guarantee slow random read/write

I don't really know why HDDs manufacturers don't at least give a sequential read/write speed

>>56040583
sequential: a large block of data gets read/written in order. Sequential access is reading block 1, then block 2, then block 3...
random: the reads/writes happen in different areas so the heads have to seek all over. Random access is reading block 452, then block 991, then block 120...

Sequential speeds are in MB/s because since the disk knows what's coming ahead of time, this is where you see the highest transfer rates. Random speeds aren't very meaningful measured that way because it depends on how far away each random access is from the next that determines how many MB/s you can clear. Since it's random, you don't know. So the MB/s speed fluctuates a lot.

IOPS is I/O Operations Per Second. This is used instead of MB/s because the types of things that generate random accesses are often servers servicing many applications that all want to read and write to different areas. They might or might not have a lot of data to write, but IOPS determines the maximum number of them you can serve at a time before everything bogs down.

HDD rotational speed is given because the speed in MB/s varies depending on where on the physical disk platters the data is going. The outer tracks are faster - the disk is spinning at a constant speed, so more of it comes under the heads per second.

(if you don't get this, think of a man spinning a weight on a rope at a certain number of revolutions per second. If the rope is a foot long, the weight doesn't move too fast. If it's 20 feet long, the weight moves really fast. Same idea.)

New one.

There's a tool for stopping individual updates in 10.

An S20 is a Lenovo ThinkStation S20.

Do you think you'll be able to help me with my second question?

>>56041244
it's plaintext
the only way to store them encoded would be;
a. encrypt them with another key, standalone password managers do this, such as keepass
b. store only a hash of the password, this can only be used to verify a password is entered the same, not auto-fill a password entry. things like OS user passwords are stored like this

>>56036069
Not possible with the official BIOS on a T420, it never got an update. Coreboot does support it. https://www.coreboot.org/Board:lenovo/t420

I feel like this is an extra dumb question, but if I make a whole new rig but keep my old hard drive would I have to reinstall an OS?

>>56042633
You may need to prep it before transferring but you can generally make it work, but I'd still recommend a fresh install.

>>56042080
Absolutely fantastic.

It looks like I'll be able to use Ivy Bridge CPUs if I flash this.

Thank you, Anon.
