How does /g/ maintain it's music library?
Don't have the money for spotify and it lacks some music, and currently using beets+MPD+ncmpcpp which works fine but finding new music or keeping artists updated is a hassle and I can't get the database in perfect shape.
Am I missing out on something?

Did dun goof'd and lost headset mic, new mic possible without re-buying the headset?

>>56245537

>>56245987
So?

How do I check my computer for spyware or other similar stuff. After giving in my computer for repair now I use it and there seems to be all sorts of programs and processes running on my computer like for instance the cmd always opens on startup, they might have been installed in order to aid the repair of my computer but I'm not so sure.

>>56246027
so its not 20010 or whenever 65nm was in action, we are on 14nm

>>56246037
reinstall windows

>>56245991
Any normal 3.5mm mic should work.

>>56246057
if I do that I'll lose a ton of programs and software I can't reinstall due to not having the original disc.

>>56246072
Any reccomendations for headset-attachable ones? Tried a quick amazon uk search but came up dry on anything decent looking.

why is DX12 win10 exclusive?
isnt it a regular installer for a bunch of libraries?
what is that special something that is required for it but only available in win10?

>>56246157
>why is DX12 win10 exclusive?
To force you into Winblows 10

>>56246157
MS probably fucking something up in the code to make it read if you've got win10 thus forcing you to join the botnet.

>removes tinfoil hat

Probably others will give a better reply.

>>56245899
Nvm, i figured it out with this site:

>>56246116
run then

ccleaner, so that scanning is faster
malwarebytes
adwcleaner
roguekiller
hitmanpro
JRT
tdsskiller

all of them on bleeping computer site, except malware bytes I guess
then run as asdmin autostart from sysinternals and check what starts on boot for ya

>>56246157
it was the same with Vista and DX10. there was no reason DX10 couldn't have worked on XP, but microshit intentionally made it Vista-only in an attempt to boost sales.

>>56246045
And?

>>56246124

Say someone gets call scammed and lets someone on their computer, what's the best way to check to make sure there is no monitoring software or otherwise nasty shit? Assume reinstalling windows is a last resort.

No I didn't fall for that stupid shit someone else did, but the idea that someone left some backdoor shit on it is intriguing and I'm wondering if there's any way to reliably check for it.

>>56247011
Nope. If it's just for music in your car, it doesn't matter. I'd probably buy a big one; for storing music, they're really cheap these days, so why bother with smaller ones?

>>56247011
Just buy an aux cord for your audio listening device.

/spg/ ignored me, maybe you guys can help?

I want a phone that can produce some good sound (I am planning to use headphones, Yuin PK3), but one that does not run Android or iOS.

I'd prefer something less smart, but not outright dumb. Lurking and reading about W950i and 5800 XM at the moment - can anyone tell me what other models should I look for?

>>56245838
My laptop is lagging whenever I use BitTorrent, but it only happens when I set the upload and download higher than 700~kbps. I'm using Win10, and the BitTorrent version is 7.9.7. What could be causing this?

I'm planning on thru hiking the appalachian trail next season and I have been thinking about a phone option. I really don't plan on making many (if any) calls, so I was then thinking maybe I can just bring my iPhone 5S (or buy a new smartphone before the trip), with the intention of using it for photos. The phone would be in airplane mode at all times, and GPS would be turned off for photos. I would disable all forms of data pushing etc. How long might I expect the phone to last with these considerations, and considering I might take between 20-30 photos a day (probably way more than I actually would), and that I would turn it off for 12+ hours a day?

Asking again because I didn't get an answer last thread. Can I reinstall windows 7 just by mounting the iso in a virtual drive? I would use a usb but my ports are dead. I would use a burned disc but the burn process keeps failing.

I have a 3570K I'm trying to OC, and I keep reading that 1.25v should be enough for 4.5GHz, but I'm at 1.3v at 4.4GHz and I get WHEA errors every minute or so. Do I have a really awful chip or something?

A friend sent me a private youtube video of him playing a game but then decided he wasn't happy with it and deleted it.

I have it open and fully buffered, just finished watching it. How can I save this? It's gotta be in some temp folder or something, right? I can't use youtube-dl since it's not actually on the site anymore. I'm using Firefox Nightly if it matters.

So I set up CDPATH in my .bashrc so I can cd anywhere in my ~ directly.
So later I added a function to my .bashrc to cd anywhere and open my file manager (nemo) there.
Any buddy know how, or if I can get this function to work with autocomplete, like cd does?

function ncd () {
        cd "$1"; nemo .
}

I fail at burning movies/tv shows to dvd
I have DVD Flick and tried to burn 3 episodes of a show to a blank dvd-r with a simple menu to select an episode. But I forgot to select the option for it to burn after encoding or make an .iso so all I had was the "dvd" folder with bunch of .txt files and shit. So I used powerISO to turn it into an .iso and burn it to my blank dvd-r. Needless to say it failed to play in my dvd player. Why? Would DVD flick have been able to do it if the option were selected? What does /g/ use to do this?

>>56247069
I only have a phone.

>>56247186
Phones aren't really built with long term battery in mind. You could buy a solar battery recharger or just an outright backup battery, but you might as well buy a dedicated camera if that's all you're after, maybe something waterproof/shockproof.

>>56247198

This is supposed to do what you're talking about

Also your USB ports might just be damaged on the outside, in which case you could buy a bay with new ones and maybe a card reader, and just connect it to your mobo in place of the old connections. They also sell PCI adapters with new ports.

>>56245838
My Asus X501A started making weird noise, like an old mechanical clock, loudly "ticking" in fast rhytm. I heard it usually means that HDD is broken so I downloaded HD sentinel and run a test. It seems that everything is perfectly fine 100%. Should I do anything else?

How do I stop Windows 10 from downloading updates without asking?
I don't like randomly having 600 ping in the middle of a game with no warning.

>>56247650
Maybe on the genre front, if your car doesn't let you use multiple folders.

I've never heard of slower speeds on larger drives over USB 2, but it wouldn't make a difference anyway - streaming music is not an arduous task for a USB drive.

Dude, the in between phones were retarded. A bunch of crapware from the manufacturers, super limited apps that have dried up even more since then, and half baked menu systems that never got fully developed. Honest to god you either want a minimalist android or some super oldschool phone that just emphasizes battery and privacy. There's a lot of androids with excellent sound

I want to limit my torrent clients speed so that it doesn't slow down my internet. I tried using the built in download/upload limitations, but even at 1kb/s it still slows my internet down. I have tried uTorrent, qBitorrent and Deluge and it is the same on all of them.

What do?

>>56248003
Then you want to set your network connection as metered, if it's over ethernet you'll have to do a quick registry hack. You could also try disabling the service but I imagine windows would turn it back on automatically at some point. And you want to disable P2P update sharing as well.

You could also use the third party tools Ultimate windows Tweaker 4 or O&O ShutUp10, which give you all these options in one place.

It does, I just use folders to organize the albums for the bands, and I mostly play on random.

Im a newbie on programming, and Im not sure how do pointers work, but mostly... how can I implement them? where do I need to use them?

what language do i select when using Scheme in DrRacket?

How can I make simple-screen-recorder timestamp my recordings like with bash:
screen_recording_$(date +"%H:%m:%S_%d.%m.%Y.") ?

>>56248113
Your question's phrased kind of weirdly. You have a good processor. You could run any modern GPU with it and get good results. There are games out there that can go beyond your processor's capabilities and therefore bottleneck the gpu before it could reach it's full potential, but you could still have a solid experience even on the 1080

>>56248154
A pointer is basically the address where a object is stored.
You use it for anything that isnt primitive.

I need to buy a laptop soon. I want my laptop to play Overwatch at 60FPS on low-medium settings (basically just shadows on)

>What price range am I looking at? Trying to go cheap

>>56248373
not really... It just leaves the name in code instead of interpreting like bash. I have to name it manually each time I record.

I've been using a PC all my life (although I'm no expert) and I'm going into college soon and was planning on getting a laptop. Now I'm not sure if I should get a laptop with Windows or to go for a Macbook.

My PC still uses Windows 7 so I'm not sure how I'll adapt to Windows 10. Although I've only used Macs in some high school classes so I'm not as familiar in that area either.

In terms of ease of use, compatibility and overall quality, which would be the better option? Does it all come down to software or are there much bigger limitations?

>>56248402
Integer, char, boolean.

Well you can use pointers for these too, but in general you use pointer for objects such as arrays, strings and your own made objects because its way more efficient to e.g. use call by reference for objects and give a method the address of an object.

>>56248478
ohh I get it, thats something that was bothering me. I have been reading about pointers but I was like "why should I use this instead of a normal variable?"
Thank you.

How do I make Skype calls in groups with over 100 people. There's a /pol/ group with 200 that knows how, but they won't tell us.
We've been using /golive, but it stops working once the group is larger than 100 people.

Also, is there no way to get the creator role for Skype anymore?

>>56248550
Yeah pointers are useful when you do stuff like swaping 2 objects where it would be awfully inefficient to actually physically swap the data on the memory.

>>56248684
Do you care about state level threats? Bitlocker is vulnerable to NSA guys, but you can keep unmotivated thieves out with it. Check the wiki, it has good info on this stuff.

So my 1060 just came in the mail; should I remove my 660 or set it up as a dedicated physx processor?

>>56248732
AC doesn't give a shit about microwaves.

>>56248732
I plan to store a bunch of torrents on it. Ive heard good things about TrueCrypt though

>>56248770
That was before the DEVs mysteriously went belly up. Try one of the forks now.

>>56248764
I guess that makes sense given the 5 Ghz band. But isn't unregulated microwave EM leakage outsize the 2.4 Ghz band still a thing?

>>56248770
IMO Truecrypt is okay, given the audit and all. But like >>56248792 said, you might take a look at updated forks like VeraCrypt.

On the /g/ wiki under Apple Notebooks it says

Apple OS is basically classic UNIX/BSD under the hood. Apple has the kernel of it freely available and you're welcome to build stuff on it. All the shiny extras are not free though.
Think RHEL, the linux kernel is free to use but you pay for all the rest that red hat throws onto their distro.

is there any way to keep my CPU from flexing so hard?

i have an i5 6600k and an r9 390x

>>56248436
Depends on your class.

Generally if you're doing school work, I'd suggest Windows laptop. Choose one with long battery time, that will be your key concern. You want your laptop usable throughout your classess.

If possible get a laptop that can transform into a pad. So you can take notes with stylus/draw/etc. Don't spend more than $400-500 on the laptops. That price range will give you good amount of speed/battery/features.

>>56249033
Nearly all of RHEL is free. You're paying for support. If you don't need support, CentOS aims to be 100% compatible with RHEL-specific software.

So I was playing Overwatch and I'm experiencing some screen tearing which shouldn't be happening (playing on high settings, with gtx 1070) also my audio cuts out randomly every couple of minutes, but only cuts out for a couple seconds then comes back on again. Anybody know a fix for this or why it's happening?

>>56249033
>Apple has the kernel of it freely available
The OS (Darwin) is actually open source, OS X is Darwin + Quartz, Cocoa, and other frameworks and programs.

>>56249110
True. I mostly tried to simplify it to generic stuff just for the sake of analogy.
>>56249120
Thanks, I forgot the specifics of how much darwin was vs how much they added.

>>56249101
Is it worth avoiding Windows 10 or is it not as bad as I've heard?

>>56249159
Besides the forced upgrades and spying, it's the best Windows yet. Mostly. When I drag my terminal emulator to my second screen, it changes font size. And other minor stuff like that. You should definitely install it if you don't have a Windows installed yet and you're a gamer.

>>56249159
It's a mixed bag. I have had it go fine on a laptop and less luck on a desktop. It doesn't seem to like being split across multiple drives in a way that ins't an actual proper striped setup.It has problems seeing programs as installed, uninstalled, folders as there or not, some stuff doesn't update right...
That said, it works fine enough one one drive, there are some annoyances with how things are laid out and where they are located and adjusting some things is needlessly complex.
It's a tossup between it and 7 honestly.

I installed android X86 to a dell venue 11 pro 7140.

It works very well with android (shipped with windows, currently dual booting), although I'm having a problem.

The power button does not put the device to sleep, it just brings up the power menu (so I know it's being recognized as a power button.)

The only way for me to put it to sleep is to plug in the keyboard and close it like a traditional laptop.

Is there some way to remedy this?

Thank you for your time.

If your library is in a shitty mess, take some time to use some software to get tags. It should also be able to rename files and organize your library in your filesystem however you want.

>>56251533
It's not strictly "better", it's just that games tend to be huge files and SSDs are more expensive per gig and work better if they're not completely full. So having your OS and most program files on the SSD is helpful and having large contiguous media files relegated to the HDD is a good setup. Games are sort of a grey area in that SSD don't have a big impact on things like fps, although you'll generally see quicker load screens. The main argument for sticking them on an HDD is that they're huge, and also in steam a few games will balk at being installed to a different drive than the client, so it's simpler to pick one drive and install all your games there. Although steam also has a great backup feature and you could just backup the games you don't play frequently.

My laptop's wifi has a small problem, I figure since this thread is up I'll mention it.

So, occasionally, the wifi just drops. This only happens on the one laptop, and whenever it happens my wifi is suddenly off, and if I go into the network selector sometimes it'll be blank for a few seconds. The "worst" cases of this are when my wifi drops, and it takes maybe 10 seconds before it lets me attempt to reconnect, and then I'll get 3 or 4 "cannot connect" messages before it reconnects.

The strange thing is that it seems to happen in bursts. Like, sometimes there's no problems for a day or two, but when it does happen it'll happen a few times, and I'll have maybe 30 minutes to 2 hours of my internet hiccupping, and usually I have to go into my network settings to manually fix it (though sometimes it auto-connects when it goes back up.

Is it just a bad chip that makes my wifi bad? It isn't bad enough to send the computer in for repairs, and the problem hasn't gotten any worse in the 6 months I've owned the laptop, so I haven't messed with it. If it ends up being some stupid software problem one of you know about I'd love it if this is fixed easily. I can often play games where I need a constant connection for hours without it ever hiccuping, but it's annoying when it does happen. The "fix" I have is just plugging in my ethernet cable for an hour or so when the hiccuping starts, which works fine.

I've taken those apart before. The wireless card is literally right under the bottom cover. I'd re-seat it and see if that helps.

I found one of those Bluetooth headsets that go around your neck. One earbud is ripped off. What if I find an aux input cord and solder/rewire it into the headset so I can use it with any headphones. Would it work? Like with actual full over ear headphones?

Purely Hypothetical. Sorry I'm retarded guys, just don't want to ask this somewhere that isn't anonymous. My Dell is dead, it's a decent computer but something inside it fried and I don't know shit about PCs. I want to send it in to get it fixed, but I'm a bit worried because the hard drive is full of all kinds of pirated shit and maybe something else (again, hypothetically). If I send it in for repairs, are they going to check the hard drive and be like "no way, you can't have this back, we're calling the copyright lawyers"? I don't know how to wipe it since it's in a dead computer, and I think opening it up and moving parts like the hard drive might void a warranty or something anyway.

>>56253111
Thanks, I'll google that process just to make sure I don't fuck anything up.

>>56253139
Taking apart a Dell laptop won't void the warranty at all. Simply removing the hard drive before sending it in is probably what I would suggest. There are only a few models where removing the hard drive isn't extremely simple.

How long have you had this machine for? If it's been over a year, the warranty has probably already expired, unless you purchased Complete Care.

Would they repair it without the hard drive? Like, there's no chance they'll say "we need every part, send us the hard drive too"?

It's been about 9 months, it's under warranty. I just didn't want to send it in before checking, and this thread happened to be up.

How do I check how much dpi my mouse is performing at?

>>56253205
I used to work at a place that repaired Dell machines in or out of warranty. In a situation like yours, I'd tear down the machine to minimum configuration and slowly swap parts until it can POST. After getting it to POST, I'd run Dell diagnostics with a test hard drive (we'd have like 6 with windows installs on them), and try and boot to windows. The customer's hard drive was almost never part of the equation, unless we suspected that it was the source of the problem, and in that case we'd just run GSmart tests on it.

If a customer's machine (like yours) came in without a HDD, it wouldn't affect the diagnostic process at all.

Just my experience though. Not every repair place will operate the same, but honestly you don't really want to do business with a shop that needs your hard drive for a problem that probably has nothing to do with it.

You don't need that box. You are confusing a vpn you create with one that you access. A vpn is simply a secure connection over the internet between two computers or local networks. When people talk about vpn's for privacy they mean you pay someone somewhere so that you can access their internet connection as if you were there. The vpn is just the thing you use to tunnel their internet to you, so you appear to be using them, using their IP in their country. You could use a homemade vpn connection for things like file sharing or securely redirecting your portable devices' internet connections back home to avoid spying over shady wifi, but you could do that just as easily with a cheap router flashed with custom firmware or even just your computer.

No I'm using HDMI, is DVI that much better? I just like to be able to have audio and video work on the same cord

and is TN that much better than and IPS monitor?

Google employees have workstations with 16 GB of RAM at a minimum. You're basically fucked without more RAM.

/g/, I'm the kind of autist that spends 12+ days on a Windows computer, just wasting my life. I'm running Ccleaner (and it's sub-programs like wiping free space), a few anti-viruses, and Diskdefrag pretty much all the time, whenever I'm not watching videos or working on random projects, I'm running these programs just to see if they catch anything or watch them work. Are there other programs I should have and run all the time, for one reason or another? Stuff to make the computer run better, make it less likely to malfunction, that sort of stuff.

So, I want to make a gift to my mother, she wants a portable computer, thing is, she wants something like a netbook (In the sense of nothing too big, 12.5 inches is like the limit), she hates tablets and that stuff.
Mostly for video playing, office and that stuff.

Any suggestions? Doesn't have to be new (I live in a shitty country, I can't get a x220 for a decent price here)

Yes. You should, you may want to have a profound enjoyment of seemly grasping "infinity" the better.

If you've had to do it 3 times I'd wager you or some other user is doing a few things you really shouldn't on it. If you don't feel like picking a *buntu, then make sure you're installing windows clean (verified ISO, legit license or activator directly from mydigitalLife), do not use ANY pirated software, use chrome with adblock or equivalent, consider norton dns, upload programs to virustotal.com if you don't explicitly trust the creator, make your user account limited, and don't let tards screw around with your PC when you're not looking. Also throw bitdefender free on there if you want an AV that "just werks" quietly.

You could use it to have two workplaces communicate over long distances as if you had an imaginary cable running between them.

>>56253494
TN's advantage is it's improved response time, which is a big deal if you're really into first person shooters, but the average person would probably prefer the improved color quality of IPS. If your screen or card doesn't support HDMI 2.0 you might have trouble hitting 60hz at that resolution, otherwise HDMI is fine.

Thanks. I guess that's why I got a pair of them. They came with a bunch of computer stuff that someone gave me.

Alright, with all this talk about the Win10 botnet, what is the best distro for privacy? I've heard that Unbuntu is just as bad as windows, and I was wondering if this was true.

No, that's a huge exaggeration. Ubuntu was carting off search results to amazon for a while, but that's off by default now. It was never in the same ballpark as windows. Mint is a small step up from ubuntu, you can go with debian and skip proprietary software if you're serious about it, and then they have even more heavy duty distros out there if security trumps convenience pretty hard for ya. But if you just want something simple I'd stick with the ubuntu derivatives or manjaro.

>>56254025
Shit, computer noob. I pirate loads of expensive shit all the time on a windows 8 machine connected to the internet, should I be afraid of getting that information sold to people who want to sue me or something?

>>56254055
Nah. Be afraid of the people recording your IP. The MPAA has a mad boner for catching torrenters. They can totally do it too, and a judge just put in a big ruling in their favor. Great time to get a vpn or seedbox.

If I already have the stuff and it's on my computer, am I at risk? If I keep connecting to the internet but stop torrenting 100%, is that fine and dandy, or will they be able to say "hey, we just checked this guy and he had our files"!

It's worth mentioning I always run Peerblock when I torrent. That's not going to help enough? I don't see the point in paying for a VPN or seedbox so I can avoid paying for other stuff.

It's worth mentioning I mostly go after stuff I don't think I'm likely to get sued for. Tons of anime, some indie games (the ones I didn't want to support financially, like when I wanted to try FNAF knowing it was probably shit). I have some older movies, but stay away from bigger or newer stuff since like 13 months ago I got an email from my internet provider saying "X company has logged you as illegally getting Y movie at Z time, we're protecting your faggot ass and didn't give them details yet but you've got a strike now". Apparently the strike goes away after 1 year of good behavior according to their websites terms on this shit, so maybe I'm "clean" again.

Sorry to be an annoying faggot, this isn't the sort of shit I'd ask in a place that isn't anonymous. When I got that movie I got a strike for, they actually emailed me with the strike the next day. If they caught me with something smaller, like an anime strike, would it be an instant email or would they try to be coy and just record it and wait until they can say "haha, we got 4 strikes against you and didn't mention it yet, so now we'll sue you!"?

>>56249089
Why is this a bad thing? It's just making use of everything you've got. Unless temps are getting high, I wouldn't bother.

>>56252068
You could go the way of the pirates and just use lots of dots between information in the name, but if you're using a system that is finicky enough to not let you use spaces, that might not work.

Some people use dashes, but it can get confusing when you need to hyphenate. Underscores solve this problem. You could probably use a mixture to make it easier to read, or just one.

>>56252205
I disagree with HP. Awful build quality unless you pay out of the ass. I would also perhaps consider Lenovo. Without considering the Thinkpad line, they have really brought up their offerings in the past few years.

VPNs are like a condom. If you use it right it pretty much always works. Peerblock is like joining a frat and getting a recommended list of girls who don't seem slutty enough to have STDs, but you're going to be boning new girls every weekend for a year. The list may be technically better than nothing, but you're still gonna catch 'em all.

It's very unlikely you'll face any legal action for stuff you already have. And ISPs don't want to sue you, they don't want to do shit, which is why they've been so lax thus far. They just have to do enough to keep other companies off their backs, and that's going to get harder soon. So just be more careful with how you download in the future.

>>56249965
You mean like how an AC unit or refrigerator cools? I doubt there is a thing like this, and you wouldn't want thia because, esp while idling, condensation is going to accumulate on the cold surface and fuck up your laptop. With any sort-of PC cooling, ambient should be the goal- not below ambient, condensation-territory.

>>56252905
>reverse entropy machines
The closest thing to a machine that "reverses entropy" is an AC unit or fridge. A CPU is a series of constantly-switching transistors. Turning a bunch of transistors on and off generates heat. It draws electritity- You have to plug it into a wall- It generates heat. Hell, an AC unit generates more heat than it generates "cool"- All it does is move heat while also generating more of it, all to make one place (your room) cool. Make sense?

>>56253116
Theoretically, yes. Practically, probably not. The original earbuds run at a specific ohms level at a specific peak wattage. If you are trying to get nice, around-ear headphones to be driven by the bluetooth unit, at best you'll have shitty sounding headphones and at worst you'll break the bluetooth unit and possibly the headphones themselves. I am all for experimenting though- Try it with a pair of shite headphones first and see if you like the outcome.
