I'm currently using this tv as a monitor:
>http://www.lg.com/uk/tvs/lg-37LH3000-lcd-tv

It works well, 5ms response time I believe. I'm looking for a new relatively budget priced tv between 40-50" with similar response time, would something like this be a worthwhile upgrade?

>http://www.tesco.com/direct/blaupunkt-49-1480-full-hd-49-inch-led-tv-with-freeview-hd/139-1092.prd?skuId=139-1092

Frustratingly it doesn't detail the response time under the specs so I have no idea if that tv is better or worse. Any help would be really appreciated.

Also, thank you op for making a proper thread.

I need to run a script one time when I log in. I'm using GDM and Gnome 3 if that matters.

How do I write a systemd oneshot service to only run when my user logs in?

Programming related retarded questions.

One, how do I go on about repeating adding an item into a sharepoint list through C# WFA?

Second, how do I make a datagridview display another SHarepoint view? I.E rather than show the default one (All items), I want the list to switch to another, filtered view.

I cannot find much info online and I'm too stupid to use the little I can to implement it properly despite trying for ages.

Two 250GB SSDs in RAID 0 or 1 500GB SSD? This is just going to be an OS driver and shit so I don't care about one failing and fucking all the data. Will RAID 0 harm the life of the drives or will the 250GB SSDs be slower than the 500GB one.

>>56354715
That sounds shady AF. Where the hell would you find a checsum to validate an image that came with all those updates? If you mean you could slipstream your own, sure. But since you have to download them manually either way, the benefits of actually slipstreaming the disk for a single install are minimal.

Which motherboard brands (or even specific models) are the most reliable? I'm building a new pc for the office and I want something that could last 10 years, ideally.

>>56354827
>That sounds shady AF
It is.
>Where the hell would you find a checsum to validate an image that came with all those updates?
You can't, doesn't exist (at least for the latest updates).

You can look around on MS website, IIRC they made an update pack over a year ago, but I dont think it's included in any ISO (you should double check).

Never use a modified ISO that does not match the checksum of MS official ISOs.

Have a look here:
>http://windowsiso.net/
>http://mirror.corenoc.de/digitalrivercontent.net/

>>56354875
There is no single brand, it all depends on the models.

Check the popular choices on your shopping site, compare those boards and pick a selection with good user reviews, then check hardare review sites for the details to see if it uses high quality parts.

For any part to live that long is just hit or miss. Get something with good warranty (should be able to find boards with 5 year warranty).

What the fuck? So i was just minding my business ingame inna mmo when all of a sudden my PC turned itself off and i was stuck at the mainboard logo screen afterwards. No BSOD or anything, just a plain HDD shutoff and then the mainboard logo appeared almost immediately afterwards

Tried rebooting a couple times but only after i went into the setup/checkup screen via f8 did it actually manage to get past the mainboard logo screen again and show the truecrypt password prompt

The thing is this never happened before (it's a very stable build which has proven itself over the years with no BSOD issues whatsoever), i guess somehow my CPU or some other component overheated so the safety shutdown kicked in this time?

Also, on the boot checkup screen it said "CMOS checksum bad", could the battery perhaps be empty/faulty or something

Apparently it's a prerequisite to switch between the two in order to dual boot Linux on the XPS 15

AHCI is like standard mode. RAID is if you want to do weird things with multiple disks. For only one disk there's no reason to be in raid.

Can any users of the kobo aura line (Aura/h2o) tell me if would it be possible to insert a micro sd card with higher capability than the maximum supported by the device (32gb) by formatting to fat32?

Shouldn't be a problem. You can run multiple VMs simultaneously and have them be on the same virtual network. Hell whonix works off of some of those same network sharing features. No reason you couldn't set up a domain in there.

>>56355502
You're probably biting off more than you can chew. And those things aren't necessarily meant to be combined. Do you even know whether you want tor over vpn or visa versa?

Basically. You're probably going to want to spend a little while looking up guides on using your VMM's networking options, so you can configure your VMs to simulate the kind of network you want them in.

What hyper-link management module do you suggest for Emacs (v24).

I am building a mess of notes similar to a wiki and hard links don't work if the folder gets moved. And the current "Org Mode" tree is getting too big for basic use.

I am interested in the options. I read about "id" on the GNU site but don't see it listed. I see "Hyperbole" is listed and the description sound like what I want.

Any advice, or knowledge? (Kind of new to this)

I'd prefer it to be a long term thing, been burned by cool developers making something and then it glitch out with newer hardware and software.

spilled water on my desktop 6 days ago and attempted booting up a day later. It shut down after 5 seconds so I assumed it was the power supply. I swapped it with one of my friends and it still didn't boot.

What do I do?

I can't find my 16GB flash drive. Hope no one found it.. nothing bad on it, but like tranny porn and shit I don't want anyone finding.

But, anyways:

I want to install Windows 7 and downgrade from Windows 10. I made a bootable USB drive once with that 16GB flash drive I had, and I installed Windows 7 from it. I actually copied the exact files from that drive as a backup, and I still have it.

Could I just cram everything on that drive into a folder, then put the contents of that backup into the drive, and it boots fine? Or is there another and less messy way?

Since I don't want to get rid of the files on it. I have no other place for it.

I figured this site had suitable instructions:

http://bootableusb.net/make-bootable-external-hdd-install-windows-78/

>>56356065
So the files that you have, are they the contents of the windows 7 installer, or everything that used to be on your C:\ drive?

>>56356156
The Windows 7 installer. I went to explorer, clicked on my flash drive, copied it, and pasted it. If I dragged the contents of that folder into a flash drive I'm sure it could boot the Windows 7 installer. I figured the same principle works with a portable HD

it also seems like a messy way to do it though

>>56356065
Why do you want to downgrade?

>>56356190
It's Windows 10.

>>56356203
And? What aren't you liking about it? Is it impeding in anything you're doing? What issues are you having with it?

So I'm on Windows 10 and about to do a "Fully Clean the Drive" to just have a fresh PC.

Last thing I want to do though is to create a recovery disc, but for some reason, I can't find it.

so does "twice as fast" as 60fps matter or is just extra headroom I'll never use?

I think i know what causes the sluggishness in my system now (even FF is laggy as hell now lawl); There's these three LED's at the top of my mainboard which are used to indicate when data is being moved through the PCI lanes and such - Normally these said three LED's would not blink at all because i set all this cool n' quiet shit up in my BIOS so that they never blink even when the c&q power saving scheme (aka CPU downthrottling) is enabled. However since some time now they started to blink again when i'm outside of the max power energy scheme in win7, haven't checked yet but i appears they even sometimes do it when i'm inside the scheme. This basically means that my whole rig gets slowed down due to the PCI lanes not always being available as they should be. I noticed this today when i tried to play that MMO, however weirdly enough BF3 was running perfectly fine with 100+ fps constantly.

I think this started happening after the reactivation password screen stopped working and i set the screensaver options up from scratch again, but i'm not 100% sure regarding this. It could be a faulty/dying mainboard though, which would be really fucking bad

Also i had this problem a couple years back but i forgot how i solved it back then. If anyone with cool & quiet / an AMD cpu on a MSI mobo wants to pitch in here and give some advice then feel free to do so

>>56359494
unless you specify otherwise, ffmpeg will use defaults for what is specified
there are default codecs for specifying an mp4 container (which is implied by using an output filename ending in .mp4)
and those codecs have their own defaults when not otherwise specified

ffmpeg defaults to transcoding even is remuxing is possible, you need to specify so if you wish to remux

to remux; use

ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c copy -map 0 output.mp4

keep in mind .mp4 doesn't support as much as mkv, so it might not work for all files

I have a hard drive that's making a grinding noise and people say that it's going to fail soon. That's fine because I have plenty more drives. However, I would still like to use the drive as storage that I don't mind losing.

I have an SSD for an OS and one for storage. The HDD that's failing and making the grinding noise is rarely used or stored on. It keeps being accessed randomly and making the grinding sound, which annoys me because it happens for about five seconds straight. How do I stop it from being accessed? And why is it being accessed? I literally have nothing on there that a program or anything requires to access.

I heard people say that it's indexing, but what is it indexing exactly? And why does it always do it when there's nothing that I change about it?

Mobo guy here again, disabling APS and fixing the auto fan setting (which reset itself to the default values after the crash aswell for some reason) in BIOS got rid of all my stability problems, phase LED's are working again too and no remaining sound issues whatsoever. Vidya running smoothly also

Now i just need to make sure this "crash" (i strongly suspect CPU overheating was the cause, it's at 80 degree celsius at stress which is basically way above safe temp already, i'm surprised the fucking thing still runs. It's more one of those inbuilt safety lockdowns really) doesn't happen again while i'm ingame. Going to tweak the fan settings a bit or something, but i already have a dedicated fan so there's not much i can do save for getting a new CPU perhaps. Either way that would be a bullshit move since i'm going to get a new rig anways in a couple of months so all's well

>>56360899
impossible to say, depends where it got.

but the top of the mobo (the side with the CPU on) has a clear layer of protection from shorting things, but if it hit the back where pins are it's more likely to short.
same with graphics card.
it can also damage jacks and ports like the front panel, sata and pci-e and ram slots if you're unlucky.

put the lid back on your case and put the case under your desk or on the other side of where your drinks are.

And if you ever get any liquid into the case, pull the power cord quickly, turn off the PSU, take out all the individual parts and put in ziplock or freezer bags with enough uncooked rice to almost cover them and let sit for 3+ days to completely dry.
if it's sticky use distilled water and a non-corrosive cleaning product to get shit off parts.

2. Should I install the cpu cooler or graphics card first? Also is it really important to install the graphics card into the pci_e2 slot because my cooler takes up so much space I'm worried it will be difficult to install or won't fit in that slot.
any help or advice appreciated

Trick question, you can make it yourself or just order from a site that sells custom made chassis.

stop being a fucking tard and use your brain to google

>>56361569
It would help if you state what your case is. Nevertheless, I personally install the cooler first, then the motherboard, and finally the graphics card.

>>56361347
gee thanks.

actually thanks.

How do I remove partitions?
I had a dualboot windows/mint set up but the windows part broke. So now I want to make the SSD as if it's brand new so I can start from the beginning.

>>56361634
sorry
parts:
corsair 750d atx
msi z97 gaming 5 mobo
dark rock pro 3 cooler
graphics card: gtx 970

i want make a program that updates my database every hour
is that the way to even update database?
are there any free sites that give that service?

I know the general answer is "if you have to ask then you don't need it" but, is overclocking necessary for current gen gaming?

I wanna build a gaymen computer but I'm not sure wether I should go with an i5 6500 or 6600K CPU is why I'm asking.

just got my new pc (chose the parts but the guys at the shop built it for me cause it was free) ran speccy and the ram says its 1000 mhz or smth how do i change to max which is 2133? could speccy be wrong?
it also says the gpu temp is like 49 degree when not gaming is that ok?
any windows 10 tricks to disable auto updates disable cortana and make it look like windows 7. please dont meme about windows 10 no other option for gaming.

I'm trying to find a way to make my compiled c++ program be runable on computers that don't have the same libraries installed.
So far I've been googling away. And all i found is taht i have to statically link the libraries.
However i have no idea how to do that.

Any suggestions.
Im on Debian and using g++ as a copiler

disk management

>>56361569
First attach cpu -> ram -> cooler to mobo before putting mobo in the case.

However you should put the mobo on the mobo box (dont put the static bag under it) and hook up everything to make sure it works before you put everything into the case.

>>56361700
overclocking has never been "necessary", but it saves money in the long run as you can squeeze more performance out of it for a negligible cost so you dont have to upgrade as soon.

>>56361749
google DDR+RAM

>>56361794
what do you mean by hook up everything to make sure it works?

>>56361700
It will probably be several years before you "need" it with a modern processor, but you might want the option later on down the line.

Especially the next time Creative Assembly shits out another unoptimized Total War game that eats CPU like a motherfucker, and you have to overclock an i7 4770K just to get 30fps in big battles holy shit I'm still mad.

>750d atx
There shouldn't be any problem installing the graphics card in the first PCIe x16 slot, especially with an ATX board along with a full tower case. Nevertheless, as i stated earlier, i suggest you install the cpu cooler before you install the motherboard. Then once you install the motherboard, install the graphics card. Make sure you put the motherboard on top of its original package while installing the cooler.

>>56361794
>>56361912
why do so many places say to put it on the bag instead of the box?

>>56362006
because they are retarded and dont know how static bags work.

New to this configuring android thing.

O-Ok anon.

I have two database schema in PostgreSQL: A and B.

Schema B is an updated version of A, and changes/removes fields, and adds tables.

I have a deployed version of A on a production server, currently in use. I want to push B.

How do I accomplish this without messing the data up? Do I have to write a script to pass all data to schema B? Are there any tools available to accomplish this better?

This is for a project I'm working on, and while updating the code is just a git pull away, the database has been modified and requires a bit of work.

When someone torrents something and they get caught, what are the penalties? Do you usually just get a warning first? What if you continue to do it?
For example, what if you get a warning for pirating a movie. So you stop pirating movies, however you've moved on to games. What happens if you get caught pirating games?

I don't pirate movies or games I'm just curious. I'm more of an anime guy ;)

>>56362794
depends on the ISP and your laws and the copyright holder and how much you torrented.

Do I need a vpn or proxy to get stuff from what.cd?

Can anyone tell me why the resulting webms I'm generating with this command are not allowed to be posted to /wsg/; reason given is "Error: Bad video stream. Only VP8 is supported." It creates a working webm, I just can't post it to 4chan. Please ignore the metadata tags as they're only relevant to the application I'm using.

ffmpeg -framerate 7 -loop 1 -i "C:\converted\cover.jpg" -c:v libvpx -i "C:\converted\Image.wav" -c:a libvorbis -b:v 50k -vf scale=-1:300 -shortest -metadata title="%artist% - %album%" -metadata author="%artist%" -threads 8 -y "C:\converted\%artist% - %album%.webm"

I thought -c:v libvpx _was_ VP8.

How do I tell what bad code is? If you had to give the top few things that make code bad what would it be? I'm constantly paranoid that I am writing spaghetti but I just don't know it and I don't have anyone to point out my mistakes.

Anon with the 360 stick issue from last thread here. I put in some sex lube into the stick's mechanism and it stopped squeaking, but now I have this issue where the stick acts like I'm holding left when I'm not touching it.
So my theory is that the lube is fucking with the sensor of the gamepad. Do you guys think I should put it in the oven for a bit to dry out the lube?

Okay so I realized that even though -c:v libvpx is declared, and I need it to be in VP8, it goes ahead and decides I want VP9 instead. I didn't have this problem making postable webms in the past so I guess it's my build of ffmpeg. Is there any way to force VP8 output? This ffmpeg shit has always been confusing to me.

I just got some thermal paste on the mobo

Everyone's always telling me to back up my stuff, and I get that it's important, but...

What should I back up and how the hell do I do it?

I mean, do I back up an image of my whole drive? Specific folders where I keep the important stuff? My OS? What?

Also, how do I do that? Does my OS (windows) have some built in tool or would I be better off with another solution? Should I just script something myself?

Where do I back things up to? A separate drive in my box? An external drive in an enclosure? Online?

Everyone talks about backing things up like it's common sense, but I feel like the best practices for that aren't widely known.

>>56364137
>What should I back up
everything important
>how the hell do I do it?
external drive, usb stick, cloud service
>do I back up an image of my whole drive
if you want.
>Specific folders where I keep the important stuff
this is the most common, or even just single files
>My OS?
that would be the same as "the whole drive"
>Also, how do I do that?
drag and drop files to an external drive, usb stick or the browser page of your cloud service.
or use a cloud service that offers a program that lets you pick which folders to sync to the cloud, then you just put stuff in that folder and it will automatically upload it to the cloud.
there are also programs that can sync files on your drive to and external drive automatically when you plug it in.

>>56364438
you never heard of magnet links before?

>>56364457
they dont offer any benefits over other cooling designs, in fact it will most likely run hotter because there will be less airflow over the heatsinks.

if you have a big mesh the whole length of your gpu card, you would get much better cooling by having more and bigger fans sucking in air thru it and disperse it throughout the case.

take out the drive and put it in the other laptop or get a regular pc monitor and connect it to the broken laptop.

>>56364493
ah thanks, i also have a 200 mm fan bringing air in the front and 2 80 mm fans pudding it out the back, so i guess that make non blower an even better choice

If you're already running a pirated copy you should go ahead and clean install so you know you're getting it from the best source and you've removed any residual weirdness. Might as well get ultimate, just make sure you're using a clean ISO and Daz from mydigitallife.
