Noted. I guess I need to clarify, this is for a ~£850 build for student halls. It should be under insurance, just I thought a full tower would be less appealing than say, a laptop to grab because it's a pain to take.

Does anyone have experience with desktops at university?

Also I thought if I avoided rice lights it'd be quite a subtle build.

Problem: My Xperia Z1 Compact won't connect to my home Wifi / Wlan.

Situation: It's been working fine this whole time, like weeks and months on end. I went out to go grocery shopping. Came back home. My phone can't connect to the Wifi / Wlan. However, it works on my computer.

What I tried:
>turned wifi off and on
>turned phone off and on
>turned router off and on
Nothing worked.

Why did it randomly decide to mess up, and only on my phone specifically?

How does TOR get those IPs they let you use? Are those random ipv4s or something? Or could it be that using tor makes your ip a part of their swarm

MBR or GPT for W10?

>>56096142
People volunteer for it. It's called being an exit node. You can also volunteer to be an entry node or a middle node with much less risk because they don't get pinned with all the illegal shit. You decide which roles you play.

>>56096157
If you are using UEFI then you are using GPT

I'm using windows 7 and whenever I right click a shortcut or an executable file explorer.exe crashes. I tried cleaning the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ ContextMenuHandlers" folder in the registry but even after deleting all the entries it didn't work.

I mostly get EU IPs and other European IPs but never the US and Asia.
Why?

I am trying to use Python to mass download sound tracks from a website called khinsider. I have never used Python in my life.

I installed Python, followed the instructions on the readme (linked below) and installed pip and the zip file attached to the page. for some reason the script doesnt work for me. Why wont it work? I figured that this script would be easy as pluging and playing.

the script in question: https://github.com/obskyr/khinsider

Can I connect a sonicwall tz300 to a Cisco 2900 that is installed by the ISP on site? It's a static fibre connection.

Will a gtx 1080 be bottlenecked by a i5 6600k @ 4.0ghz @ 1080p? Heard rumours that it might and just want to clarify if it will or not

My home provider using NAT, so all his clients have one public IP, and I think because of that 4chan banned my provider.When I try to post something I get error "Posting from your ISP has been blocked due to abuse".Is there any way around that?

Laptop fan bearing is fucked and making a lot of noise, I have no idea when I'll be able to get it fixed, how safely can I use it until then? Should I not power it on at all or can I use it and if yes approximately how long until I do permanent damage?

>>56096471
You come out wherever there is a volunteer exit node. Some organizations dedicate servers to it, some are done by home users. It's not evenly distributed. I wouldn't expect exit nodes to exist inside china, and it's probably harder to find an ISP willing to put up with it in the US.

>CPU coolers with copper heat pipes and/or contacts work better than solid aluminum

So it's the reason why TOR is so slow right? I only use it for mostly normie stuff though so I don't have it set up properly aside from what the wizard did.

>>56096660
Because they are too expensive and not needed when aluminium does the job just fine.

The script in question is the sample script provided on the page I linked (khinsider.py jumping-flash)

when I run it in regular command prompt I get "'khinsider.py' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

when I run the script in python itself I get:
"file "<stdin>", line 1
khinsider.py jumping-flash

syntaxError: invalid syntax"

>>56096691
Yeah it's partly slow because there's a limited amount of bandwidth to go around and tards like to use it for unnecessary shit like torrenting. But also you are bouncing your connection off of 3 semi randomly chosen extra computers on the way to to it's destination. That's not how you maximize speed.

So if there are more volunteers within every continent or country the faster it could go?
Thanks for schooling me on this.

Does /g/ have any texts recommended for training typing? I'm fed up with klavaro's default texts.

>>56096840
If there were more volunteers TOTAL, and their connections were fast and reliable, then that could have an impact. But they wouldn't necessarily try to pair you with nodes on your own continent if they could. The point is anonymity at all costs. The network really isn't designed to give a shit about speed.

>>56096722
both have the potential of being fucking useless. you can land a programming even without a minor, and math will be purely "what you make of it". i would go for a third option.

What's the simplest way to tell my torrent client to only download a select few files from a torrent added via magnet link? If I add the torrent in paused state, I don't have a list of files so I can't choose which ones to download. If I start downloading and then pause, a lot of small files are downloaded before I can pause that I have to manually delete AND I have to manually mark the files I don't want to not download which is annoying.

I'm using Deluge 1.3.6 in Ubuntu right now.

Is kat.al safe? What are people using these days?

>>56097732
Transmission will download only the torrent file first if you add it paused, not sure about deluge.

>>56097603
Try going through the monitor menu and looking for some power saving bullshit

>>56098057
already tried that
:(

>>56098038
Tried it and looks like Transmission has the same issue: when I add the torrent in the paused state, no file list is available.

There are all copper heat sinks, copper is just heavy and expensive. Given weight limitations of heat sink mounting you can get better cooling with aluminum.

What is the best chromebook with 13" display.
That will run fast for the next Coupe years?

>>56096005
Yes. Corsair, G.Skill, and Kingston are the best brands for RAM.

I assume you're gaming.
1600 MHz is as fast as you really need.
But more is slightly better.
If you ask, others can tell you about things like CAS LATENCY. I know nothing about that shit.

My apartment has community wifi. Should I be worried? I have HTTPS everywhere on FF.

>>56098345
Yes.

Should I run the Private Internet Access app or Windows VPN app? In the PIA, at least I have the ability to configure the encryption, authentication and handshake protocols..
With the PIA app enabled:
DNS leak prevention and ipv6 leak prevention are turned on. I turned the data authentication protocols OFF because I am not afraid of active attackers so much as I am afraid of passive loggers / security. My handshake is RSA-2048 and encryption is AES-128bit.

What is the onboard Windows 10 VPN app configured to use? Why do all dns leak testing websites fail to load while i'm on VPN - either connection method or on tor (using only socks5 proxy)? thank you

>>56098352
Thats better than nothing but a lot of sites don't use HTTPS at all, so if anyone wanted to sniff the traffic it would be trivial. If you want better protection get a VPN.

>>56098439
because i'm new to vpn and did not research fully, maybe. I just installed openvpn "privatetunnel" and am running that now. I've already paid for 365 days of private internet access. should I run through PIA & openvpn somehow? Should I use socks5 proxy while system is ultimately running through PPTP with PIA/openVPN? I know it may be redundant, but is it a bad idea also? Is there any case where the socks5 proxy may fail and the tunnel will not, or visa versa?

>>56095287
delete SSID from list of "remembered networks" on phone and re-connect as if it was the first time. enter credentials and should register you with fresh addresses that will work.

Usually when the malware detects a clean USB it copies everything to a hidden folder, and creates a way to trick the user to click/open a redirect file to trigger a hidden installer disguised as the USB driver.

I can run it in three different modes with ASUS GPUTweak, Silent, Gaming (Default) and "OC mode"

Normal overclocking of GPUs require that Afterburner/GPUTweak always runs afaik but since OC mode is a preset I'm unsure as to whether this applies.

Honeyview for something simple, remember to disable update checks, they slowdown it around 5 second every time you open it.

XnView for something fast and more advanced than Honeyview.

>>56102221
Around the same time, but I have it set to not update. I downloaded a legacy driver from nVidia and that's when I started getting crashes. Couldn't install the anniversary update. Problem is that these crashes are happening more and more frequently even after I wiped everything and installed a fresh copy of Windows 8 (which had many crashes before it installed successfully). Can't even upgrade back to Windows 10 or install Windows 8 updates successfully without running into the BSOD errors I mentioned. I thought maybe it was nVidia's fault, but maybe the RAM/mobo was already bad to begin with and I didn't notice.

>>56102197
Yeah, I need to find time to do this. I ran memtest 2 days ago with both installed at the same time, got a bunch of errors, I'll probably have it run again overnight with one stick at a time. Thanks, will do.

>>56102238
Too late. :(
Also, my mobo drivers only work on Windows 8.1 + 10, so Windows 7 is also out of the question.

I'd upgrade to 8.1 and then re-upgrade back to 10, but I get the errors/BSOD anytime a major set of updates starts getting downloaded. 8 was just the stopgap so I could get the free upgrade to Windows 10.

Well, the preview looks better because its a smaller resolution(560p,720p, etc), once you take the photo it will be way bigger(4k, 7k, etc) so it means it will look worse.

Best method to reduce noise/grain artifacts in GIMP?

So I just bought a new laptop today, it's an MSI GE62 Apache pro. I'm trying to play WoW and its only getting ~20fps on medium (5/10) settings, which cannot possibly be how it is supposed to perform. It has an i7, 16gb of ram, and a 970m. I think it is running off of the motherboard integrated GPU and for some reason ignoring the 970. However, when I run HWmonitor, it's showing 84% utilization on the 970. But it strikes me as completely ridiculous that a 970m is only getting 20fps on medium settings, even if it is a mobile card.

The battle.net launcher threw up a warning earlier saying I needed to upgrade my GPU driver or else the games wouldn't run properly (it listed the integrated card), but I haven't gotten that warning again. I've tried right clicking the .exe and telling it to run with the 970. Also went into the Nvidia control panel and told it to launch WoW with the 970, but I still get the same results. No idea what's going on. Any ideas?

Honestly I'm probably just going to return it tomorrow, but if you guys have any other ideas I'd still like to hear them, if nothing else, to have the knowledge for future reference.

Can someone please give me a simple explanation of why Intel processors are considered better than AMD? Most AMD processors have equivalent speeds and have more cores than Intel CPUs. Shouldn't they have better performance then?

>>56104807
VRAM size aint everything.

GPU and memory clock speeds are a thing too.
Get a GTX 1060 or a RX 480 to justify the upgrade.

From R9 380 to RX 370 is not worth it.

>>56105210
>equivalent speeds
Modern Intel processors do more work per clock cycle than modern AMD processors.

>moar coars
That's a big advantage if you use software that takes advantage of them. Games generally have trouble using more than two to four, though.

>>56105210
AMD has really shitty single core performance if you compare it to intel CPUs.
In order to compete they add more cores but programs only use 1-4 cores leaving the others unused.
Or add a powerful IGPU on them (APUs)

Clockspeeds aint everything.

Also intel CPUs are far more efficient
See 2w Atoms against 9W E series, and the atom shits on the AMD E CPUs and runs around them multiple times.

Unless you are using something that fully uses every core, Intel is superior.

Less Strong cores>Multiple weak cores.

>>56105939
Mount it. Drag and drop files.

>>56105094
∞

>>56106054
this. i'll offer an argument for seedboxes mostly geared at people who don't know which one is better (but if the circumstances in this post don't seem relevant to you, then maybe a vpn would be better).

keep in mind that a VPN is just another hop for you to make while torrenting (if albeit an effective one at obscuring you from copyright complainants). a seedbox actually puts the traffic on another machine off-site. if you were running your computer 24/7 to seed (which would be crazy, but who knows), then a seedbox solves that problem whereas a vpn doesn't.

more compellingly, a VPN doesn't solve the upload speed problem (namely, that most internet service offers you reasonably good download speeds but relatively poor upload speeds). if anything, VPNs tend to make it worse. seedboxes completely solve that problem by being roughly as fast as you're willing to pay (usually a much, much lower rate than if you were paying for comparable service to your home).

the only downside, such as it is, is that you need to sync your torrents from the seedbox to your machine, but that can be accomplished by running a simple "while true" script, and the effect on your own network traffic is generally less noticeable than whatever corresponding torrenting you might have been doing. roughly the same amount of down traffic, but none of the up traffic.

You can start climbing the pyramid and maybe you could have a BTN account in 6-12 months.

>>56106254
You think browsing web on dumbphone is good?

If battery is issue, you can get a new battery. If the issue is you want a new fresh face, then just do that instead. People have psychological issues with old stuff and sometimes want fresh start to feel better, even if that fresh start is just the same thing.

>>56106243
Any site you can find can be found by others. That's by design. You can stay one step ahead of these guys, but you'll need to keep moving non-stop. And it's basically making bets on the latest new tracker that's got a combination of obscurity and popularity, which is an impossible mix.

The easiest thing to do is to pay for a VPN or a seedbox (depends on what you want: a VPN is good if you want to do browsing from another place (e.g. watch Netflix while appearing to be in the UK, giving you access to shows the US doesn't have access to - or vice versa); meanwhile, a seedbox is good if you don't want to (or can't) seed very quickly/for very long).

In both cases, your traffic should be sufficiently obscured from organizations that would send C&D notifications (but it's worth bearing in mind that the seedbox or VPN provider will still get those letters - they just won't care (you'll have looked for services that make this clear) and you'll be able to ignore them or deal with them without any fear of escalation).

overwatch so i guess the 1060

>>56106351
wow that was hard.

how about these private "members only" sites, I heard those were safe but I don't know of any let alone how to get a membership considering I don't know anyone who uses any
also
>it's worth bearing in mind that the seedbox or VPN provider will still get those letters - they just won't care
this sounds hella illegal, how the hell do the providers get away with that?

>>56106354
thanks bup, just seen shitposting about it is all

>>56106310
Depends on many different factors.

>CPU
>Ownership time (in years)
>Cost
>Games to play

When choosing either, you'd generally want a good quadcore CPU+. That means Intel CPU. AMD CPU suffers from poor single core therefore AMD gpu will suffer more on AMD CPU.

If you intend to own this card for more than 2+ years, then you'll most likely want to buy the RX480 simply because GCN cards are meant to be good general card that will age well. Not just in architecture, but also in API usage change as well.

If cost is your concern then RX480 would more likely be cheaper.

And finally depending on the games you want to play, you'd want to consider which one to buy. You'd also want to consider future possibilities as you'll be keeping this GPU for more than 1 year atleast.

In short, if you have a strong CPU and want to keep this card for more than 2+ years, then get RX480.

If you have a weak CPU + only care about keeping this card for <2 years, then get the 1060.

I'm looking for a better solution for my mouse cable problem. I used to hook it up to my lamp, but unless I want to buy a USB patch cable, the mouse cable wouldn't reach my computer. Right now I'm using this stack of boxes I got from the post office, but it takes up a lot more space than it needs to.

>>56106378
I'm upgrading from a 2009 rig (i5 750, 5770) and I intend to keep this one for 7 years or so.

I'm going to get an i5 6500 with a 1900 x 1200 monitor.

The 1060 is £23 more than a 4GB 480 and £12 more than a 8GB 480, which is a drop in the bucket.

Just get a USB extension cable holy fuck

dear /g/
My retarded father connected my tp-link WR1043N to an 24V adapter instead of the original 12V tplink one (which is visibly of a different shape and has a big TP-LINK written all over it). Needless to say it is fucked, but on warranty. My question is, should its power input be just fucked or he accidentaly the whole router?
t. good family tech person who will never give something to family again.

OK, a retarded question for real. Trying to find a way to boot specific pdf file on android tablet without possibilities for users to turn it off, or open any other files.
Already tried loads of kiosk apps and locks without finding anything useful.
Using Lenovo A7600-H with a Android 4.4.2.
I know it's possible to pin file to screen locker on nexus phones in developer mode, but I can't possibly get it to work on this tablet. Making pdf into image files also works if only it helps in any way. Any ideas, someone?

>>56106366
You mean a private tracker. There's a thread on here entirely dedicated to that. >>56098337

They are less likely to get you a letter which is why a lot of services only allow private ones, butt it's not a guarantee.

>this sounds hella illegal, how the hell do the providers get away with that?

Different ways. There's all sorts of legally ambiguous ways to pull it off. Mostly they set up servers in countries that don't care as much.

>>56106435
Might have just blown a fuse, might be completely fucked

>>56106435
Check the PCB itself and see where the damage is

>>56106476
I'm hoping its just the fuse.
>>56106467
I will check it myself but only after the warranty won't cover it. It probably won't, but i want to be sure.

Thx /g/ for giving me some hope.

>>56106461
wow, great stuff
I'll be checking out the thread and then looking into the other stuff
thanks for all the info brother

egpu over thunderbolt?

does anyone have experience with this?
is there any way to allow my dgpu to continue functioning?

qbittorrent or deluge?

>how about these private "members only" sites, I heard those were safe but I don't know of any let alone how to get a membership considering I don't know anyone who uses any
see the /ptg/, but the notion that they're safe is at best a false illusion. if you get in, consider that *you* got in. what did you say or do that really, definitely guaranteed that you weren't working for the MPAA or whomever?

it's much less likely, i grant you, but if they wanted to get into private trackers just to identify all the members and spam C&Ds to their corresponding IP addresses, that wouldn't be a total waste of time for them. based on what i see on /g/, it seems like the false belief that private trackers are inherently immune to that kind of thing is really rampant, making them easy targets.

>sounds hella illegal
3 ways:
1) they operate in a place that makes escalating (legally) really frustrating for copyright holders
2) they operate in a place that outright doesn't give a shit (not many of these places on paper, but sometimes the legal system is just such a mess that the chances of a copyright complaint going anywhere are *effectively* nil)
3) in my seedbox's case, they respond promptly, but only to the extent that they're absolutely required to. they don't disclose my name or other info, and they ask me to remove the infringing material within 24 hours. beyond that, they don't give a shit.

even the third option suffices to grant them DMCA safe harbor protection in the US, which would arguably be the hardest constraint to satisfy. the simple fact is that a lot of ISPs find it cheaper to sweep out recurrent offenders entirely, because their legal/technological infrastructure isn't designed to field lots of DMCA complaints. this leaves space for a market to emerge and thrive (a market for seedboxes and VPNs just for torrenting), but they're satisfied to leave that money on the table

I saw a kind of flowchart/tree for fields/areas in CS
On the top it had stuff like database systems, compilers etc and branched downward

Does anyone have that pic? Its a difficult picture to google as most results are course flowcharts from uni's

I want to buy a cheap fitness tracker to see what the fuss is about. I've seen the miband but it doesn't tell time. What are other good choices that has a clock, vibrates, waterproof and has decent battery?

>>56106709
What it means that Bitcomet doesn't play fair?

>>56106702
Once again I know nothing about anything but I don't think that private trackers are inherently immune, it's more they just don't happen to be targeted by copyright holders
that's the feeling i get anyway

>they ask me to remove the infringing material within 24 hours
is this just a courtesy call?
no one will actually know if you removed it or not right?

that last paragraph is very interesting too
I forgot how the procedure goes, if you get enough c&d's, do they just disconnect your service or can you get fined?

I have an iPad Air 2 64GB arriving soon. My main purpose is to watch Anime on it and read books/news.

What's the best way/app to drag & drop or transfer anime to it (like mkv files)?

I have the latest (stable) firefox version and from what I've read it has the new e10 thingy that separates the firefox UI from the actual websites in its own process, making it so it doesn't crash when a site fucks up, but I don't see any perfomance changed, the UI is as slow as when you try to load the archive from /v/, why is that?

>>56107722
>They made a stability inhancement
>Why is it not faster
?

>>56107760
What I'm saying is when I visit a shitty site with a script that slows down the page a lot, the ui is also slowed down. Isn't that what e10 is supposed to do? Not to make the ui get slowed down by the sites? Or I'm just stupid?

>>56107780
It's not magic. And at any rate you probably aren't using it yet. It's still turned off by default for most users leading up to firefox 49
