Also occurs to me now that C:, E:, and F: are my internal drives, while the rest are connected through a variety of external enclosures (both multi-drive and stand-alone sorts) so maybe it just doesn't show internally connected drives in the sidebar? But that's still inconvenient and I want to change it.

Is tempered glass worth? In any possible approach

Is there a way to filter dust out of my air? Like a giant dust magnet that attracted it all and kept it in one bin where I could then throw it away?

>tfw you have an old 2500k, zalman heatsink and compatible atx mobo just assembled in your closet ready to be used.
What do I do with them?

>>56440555
Well yeah you can install an air filter, but it's not really going to clean the room for dust effectively. Reducing dust at the source is far better. Also, if you think removing dust is a pain in the ass (like me), invest in some statick dust mops or whatever you wanna call it, makes life a hell of a lot easier.

>>56440718
I'm a retard because I forgot a password I made when I was 13? I actually know the yahoo password but it locked me out since I haven't logged in recently and requires a code from my other account

>>56440641
SSHDs are the best and worst of both worlds.

It's better to just get both an SSD and HDD because then you just get the best of both.

If you're super cash strapped and can't afford an extra $50 for a small SSD, then sure you can go with an SSHD.

>>56440701
Nope. There really isn't anything you can do.

>>56441012
>80GB for 55
You got scammed anon.

>>5644095
depends if the card can play games using that much VRAM, at decent fps.

an RX 480 would've been fine with 5 or 6 GB but a GTX 1080 will definitely benefit from having 8 in the future.

Far Cry Primal with HD textures use like 5.3 GB on GDDR5x, as opposed to 3.5-4.3 with it off, but the fps loss is only around 5 with them on. in other words, 8 is definitely necessary to match its power.

>>56441030
Thats not how GPU VRAM works anon.

My front audio port makes everything sound distorted as soon as any sort of pressure is put on it (even as little as a wire pulling the plug down a bit).
To get it back I have to twist the cord around until I can hit a sweet spot where it sounds clear again.

I had this same problem with my last port until it broke totally so I ordered a new one and am using it right now.
Did I get a broken one or is something else going on?

Gentoo.
What is the point of adding, for example, "-aac" in your make.conf if certain builds wouldn't the aac USE flag without you specifying it anyway?

In other words, why do I need to add "-acc" if not putting it there does the same thing?

I know I must be misunderstanding, because that doesn't make much sense.

So you had the bad luck to get a sv300.
A good number of ssds back then had problems.

See any PNY, 740/840 EVO, etc.

This days any modern SSD is reliable, the only differences are speed.
Any ADATA, Sandisk, Intel, 850 evo,950/951, some crucial SSDs are good.

Hi /g/

It's been a while since I was actively searching for a laptop. I'm wanting to get a ZenBook UX305UA, which has a Skylake CPU, but one thing makes me pause - I remember hearing that there were issues with the Linux kernel on Skylake laptop processors, something about high temps/power consumption and lower processor lifetime. This was a few months ago though - have they been fixed?

>>56441734

>>56441745

At a certain point, young padawan, you must consider the possibility that it is, in fact, you who is shit.

>>56441645

Like, professional portraits?

>>56441777
This looks like it could be fixed with a proper CPU frequency governor (assuming this isn't graphics related)

I personally use this:
>conservative
>up_threshold:98
>down_threshold:95
This gives me about 45 extra minutes of battery time and keeps everything cooler and responsiveness is good. This is proven to be more efficient than the powersaving governor because of overhead caused by other devices

I found http://news.softpedia.com/news/linus-torvalds-announces-linux-kernel-4-8-rc4-with-skylake-power-management-fix-507693.shtml

The fix is in the works currently, but you would have to custom compile your kernel (not hard). I'd give it another month before it enters the mainstream

probably windows being windows. It assumes any program that hasn't been signed by Microsoft is possibly harmful (which, technically, is true). However, FFmpeg isn't a virus.

>>56441940
It's only unrecognized. Besides, FFmpeg is very much trusted in Linux, so I'm assuming the same for the Windows version. Besides, you can also read the source at the bottom of the webpage you're on.

This is for dual-core. If you have more cores, just add more of the conservative lines incrementally until you get to core count-1 (starts counting at zero).

An emulator is like a jurryrigged way of running something on hardware it wasn't meant to, and can suffer accordingly. Hardware decoding is a way of building a device with certain circuitry designed specifically for a task, so you can do it more efficiently. There shouldn't be any down sides.

the problem of this one is that you probably lose text-selection/OCR, if there's any.

OP's pic-related is literally every question asked

And so is this one-

My CPU is a Phenom II X4 965 (dont laugh). Literally everything is serviceable except the GPU (a keker of a GT 640...that's right, not GTX, GT). Of the possible upgrade routes I can take, a third option (and the cheapest) is to simply get an RX 480.

To my understanding, the bottleneck from the out of date CPU would not be too substantial. Thoughts?

I'm going to finally decide come black friday so I have time

>>56443640
Correct
As long as you can overclock it and keep it cool enough, you shouldn't have to upgrade it. The Phenom II has pretty much the same architecture as the FX-4XXX series. I have the FX-6300 and I don't have any problems with speed (except for a HDD)

What would it take to get malware from web browsing if you have uBlock and NoScript? I feel god damn invincible, no matter how shady the site is. Is it a false sense of security?

is there anything else i can add to help this?

>>56443967
just pirate and install win7

>>56443678
Interesting. See, the 6300 was actually one of he routes I was going to take, with an RX 480 or GeForce 1060 and appropriate upgrades with the mobo, etc. The third is Intel, i5 6600k + 1060 and all the other crap, though that's the most expensive.

Getting an RX 480 and then upgrading the CPU to 6300 later is also an option.

Thanks anon, I have a lot to consider.

>>56443751
Ah, why's that? Not much of a jump to 480 to justify the higher price?

>>56444092
I will say that those extra two cores help out with compiling and everyday tasks a lot, but I upgraded from a P4 from 2001, so anything is a good increase.

My PC freezes randomly (both idle and under load). It uses a 6700k and has two sticks of RAM. When either RAM module is used singly it doesn't freeze, but put both together and BAM. It freezes.

What could be the reason for this? XMP is disabled, naturally.

>>56444069
Will it play pre 2013 games better or equally?

it will be fine anon, probably better than win10

>>56444175
What makes me insanely mad is how easy it is to multi-thread a game engine easily, and how nobody is doing it.

It wasn't technically a P4, it was a Xeon based on a P4. The only difference is that I could physically install a second processor so I could have a 32-bit dual processor computer. The chip itself is insanely cheap, but I didn't bother with getting a heatsink for it (socket 603, you can buy one for less than $10)

Unbelievable, you're a /g/ hero ;_;7

I finally decided what I'm going to do and it ends in Intel either way.
1. Obtain 1060 + 650W PSU come black friday, slowly get the rest later (cpu+ram+mobo) while OCing the Phenom II if possible
2. Get it all come black friday

Completely depends on sales.

What's this chatter about a new AMD chip, though?

If game supports Vulkan API it means u can play it on Linux?
even on Manjaro?

>>56444591
You are probably thinking of Zen, an ARM based AMD chip that is mostly geared towards servers. However, I would LOVE to have a decently speced ARM laptop that isn't a piece of garbage (Chromebook) or a locked down hell hole (Surface RT). No, tablets don't count.

>>56444555
This is exactly what I did, to a tee.
I had a tb thiugh, so I don't know what to tell you other than to keep the majority of your partition for win7 and use the least amount t possible with a little bit extra for ubuntu

>>56444555
I used to do that and I'd give Ubuntu like 50 gb tops. You won't need much because there's shit all to install. You'll probably still have fun messing with Linux though

>>56444555

I do fine with 30gb and just download anything big into the windows partition which you can easily mount on linux, I'd go ahead and dual boot but know that it's quite inconvenient if you don't have an SSD and you will find yourself not using one of your OS's as much as you thought you would

Is there any reason why a computer that stopped booting from my SSD OS drive would stop booting from any SATA device, even ones connected via usb?

I mean like every hard drive is no longer in the boot order menu, but I can select it from the boot selection menu. And when I stick a drive in a usb to sata bridge it wont boot but I can use a CD or usb memory key and it will boot.

I connect to the internet by automatically spoofing my MAC address with a random one, and then automatically connecting to a paid wifi network, and automatically signing up for a free trial in regular intervals.

I'd like to share this internet connection so that my other devices can use it; but when I do, the wifi adapter's physical MAC address becomes visible instead of the spoofed one.

Is it possible to share a wifi connection while continuing to use a spoofed MAC address?

So this isnt necessarily just asking for confirmation. I have a laptop that keeps on stalling randomly and I am going to build a desktop whenever I get the funds. I dont want to have the same problems.

here are the specs:
>dell
>windows 8.1(not really important just good to know)
>Intel(R) I-5 33337U @ 1.8 GHz
>6gb of memory
>HDD

I use this machine to program. So I have had problems opening up Android Studio. Also I open a lot of tabs/windows in google chrome.

Ok so I think my main problem is that the clock speed is like almost half of what I see on the desktop cpus that are out on the market. Also I think I am going to put extra memory when I build this desktop. Also I think I am going to probably used put both HDD and SDD into this desktop.

Will these upgrades to my next build help with my stalling issues? Or what else do I need that will help with my next computer not being shit

Just built first computer. Do I leave it on all the time or leave it on during day and sleep at night?

Also, when I leave it sleeping at night I've noticed it is usually turned on when I wake up and I've already disabled my network connection having the ability to turn it on.

If I leave it on all the time is there some standard time frame that I should at least turn it off/restart like once every week or something?

>>56445645
>Just built first computer. Do I leave it on all the time or leave it on during day and sleep at night?
It's all up to preference. People hold strong beliefs on whether it should be left on, turned off, or put into sleep mode.

>Also, when I leave it sleeping at night I've noticed it is usually turned on when I wake up and I've already disabled my network connection having the ability to turn it on.
It's possible something moved the mouse or pressed a key down.

>If I leave it on all the time is there some standard time frame that I should at least turn it off/restart like once every week or something?
Some people have uptimes of multiple months. Again, people hold strong beliefs, and it's really up to personal preference

>>56445645
1) I think it would be better to have it sleep at night. Your session saves if you put it to sleep, and it's not running at full power all the time, meaning less electricity.

2) Usually when it's on, something is wiggling the mouse or a key was pressed, as >>56445699 mentioned.

3) It depends on you...But updates are usually applied only after a restart.

>>56445699
>People hold strong beliefs on whether it should be left on, turned off, or put into sleep mode.

I'm interested in replacing my shitty non-programmable thermostat to improve energy efficiency in my home and hopefully reap long term savings on my electric bill.

The idea of a "smart" thermostat that I can manipulate from my phone or computer intrigues me. I like the idea of my heater/AC being off during the day and then turning on in time for my home to be comfy by the time I walk in the door regardless of changes to my normal routines.

However while I don't mind the idea of a computer within my network monitoring my habits, I care a bit more about willingly agreeing to have that info shipped off to some corporation's cloud.

Is anyone here aware of any "smart" thermostats where all the workings are confined within the user's home network instead of shipped off to Big Brother for analysis? Or do I just need to deal with older style "dumb" programmable thermostats and their more obnoxious programming procedures?

I realize that my concerns are probably dumb because Big Brother likely already has all the information that they could possibly want from me and may very well be recording me from my phone right now.

Help!

I decided to try out GNU/Linux on a laptop with Windows 7.

I installed Debian and KDE but I ended up hating it. Having problems with the wi-fi and possibly having overwritten Windows 7 (no boot option to Windows). Now I am waiting for DBAN to finish wiping out the whole HD.

What is a good GNU/Linux distro? I mostly want to have a /comfy/ and /arsthetic/ desktop like everyone else.

I'm not the same anon that said to avoid at all costs, but I second it.

Worst I've directly experienced was touchscreen ghosting on new laptops that never went away, even if you disabled the touchscreen capabilities. Right out of the box, sadly.

Thought it was just a hardware problem with what I picked up, but I looked into it and it's been a known issue for a while. A friend's Lenovo also recently shit itself but I didn't ask what happened to it.

You can have the actual players, or something that gets installed with them do it, which is pretty neat. If you use any other player, you should just kill yourself, which basically nullifies your need to convert audio.

I recently bought a RX480 to replace my GTX 960.
I couldn't get it to boot up no matter what.
Power connectors are plugged in, fans are spinning but only get a black screen. It won't boot up at all.
If I don't plug in the power connectors, fans won't spin, still black screen but it boots up.
I tried reseting bios, cmos, uninstalled gtx drivers. Nothing worked
You guys have any idea whatelse I could try?

I have Lenovo ideapad 100 with windows 10
When I use two fingers to scroll, sometimes it goes normally (mozila) and sometimes I just do tiny little movement and it goes like whoosh right to the end (libre office)
What could be the reason fo this ?

how can i get windows 10 to properly snap windows up and down for a monitor in portrait mode?

My old PC is about 7 years old. Quad core, 4GB RAM. In the last few months it's gotten so slow it takes 3+ minutes to load up the desktop. Sometimes it takes more than a minute to open the browser, or a new tab.
I'm gonna do a clean windows install soon, but other than that, is there something I should look at or replace? Maybe dying hardware?

>>56441940
it just means that build of ffmpeg doesn't have the Microsoft Signature of Approval(tm)
the zeranoe builds are good, just ignore what windows says

ps, ffmpeg is a cli program, you'll need to run it from cmd, double clicking on it will only get you a black box for a split second (ffmpeg will print out basic help information on how to use it, then exit)

>>56442309
that's dried out, and you should replace the thermal paste each time you remove the heatsink anyway

be sure to thoroughly clean the top of the cpu and the heatsink where the paste goes before applying new paste

This is a weird problem to describe, which is why I can't really Google it.

For some reason, my TV doesn't seem to...display colors properly. It seems more noticeable with darker colors, but it just makes everything seem so low quality. It's like a bunch of pixels are just different colors, and it causes weird patterns among it. I can't take a picture right now, but look at the text box in my image. It should be all black on my TV, but it's just not. And when it fades from black to a picture, the fading is just...weird. It doesn't fade in everything at once like it should. Like in this cutscene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT1DKC_OjME On my TV, it fades around the lights first, then the lights, then everything else? And when I'm running around in darkness, everything looks so fadey and blueish.

I feel like it has something to do with the contrast, but whenever I mess with the contrast. literally nothing in my picture changes. At least from what I can see. When everything is bright, it looks perfect like it should. When it's dark, it just seems hard to look at.

My TV is Seiki, 1080p, and I think 64 inches? Everything about this problem is just odd and I have no idea how to properly describe it. I just hope I was able to give you at least a vague idea of what I'm talking about. Thanks.

Your website crashes with error 500. Turns out the disk space is full. You dont see any log for the error. Is it possible the server error didnt log because of the full diskspace?

>>56450242
for all we can tell from that, it could be as simple as a bug with that game
needs more information and testing
does it happen with broadcast tv? other sources? (consoles/dvd/bluray player/etc), hell, does it happen in the ps3 XMB?

why can't you take a photo? surely you at least have a phone with a camera on it

Could you check if this is fairly optimum/will work?

assuming there's no reserved space for logs, it's entirely possible a full disk can prevent logging the very fact

>>56450351
Sadly I have no phone at the moment. It's most certainly not a bug with the game, because it happens in other games.

Sorry that I can't provide more info. Tomorrow I should be able to take a picture of it. Hopefully it will turn out okay. I'll just ask this question again tomorrow.
