SInce the old thread was ending, I'll post again.

Is D-sub obsolete? Like when am I ever going to use it? I'm gonna build a pc, so there's no reason to choose a motherboard with a D-sub, r-right?

Is there a way to put a server in to ro mode when it hits a certain % load, while buffering/caching changes that would happen when it is in ro and writing it when the server is back writable?
If so how

Gonna try this again and hope someone with some experience or knowledge on the matter comes around this time.

I'm trying to tweak my GPU's BIOS to enable fanless mode while idling. It's not going too well.
I've followed some guides on that there internet, set the appropriate values in the fan profile, flashed my tweaked BIOS (pic related), but my fans are still spinning at ~860 rpm despite reporting "0%" fan speed, also pic related.

Anyone know what's up with that ?
Alternatively, how much could I fuck up by flashing a BIOS from a different model of the same GPU from the same manufacturer ?
Specifically I have an MSI GTX 960 4GD5T OC, which doesn't have this feature out of the box. I've found the BIOS file from an MSI GTX 960 G1 Gaming, which does come with this feature, but I'm unsure whether flashing that might fuck everything up.

Is it possible to permanently hard brick a graphics card with this stuff, as long as I have hardware available to perform the BIOS flashing and keep a backup of a working BIOS ? If something goes wrong, can I just re-flash the working one and be back to normal ?

what d-sub?

d-sub is a connector type.

the thing in your pic is a vga connecto,r which is a sub-type of the d-sub

Ok, well the VGA connector then. What do people use it for? I thought displays use HDMI or DVI nowdays.

>>56468173
Legacy support.

>>56468173
they use it to connect video outputting signals to video inputing recievers

>>56468173
>What do people use it for?
for VGA displays, how dense are you my friend?

If you're a vidyababby you probably won't even come close to one if its a desktop.
It's useful to have it in a laptop (for plugging in old projectors that sadly are 80% of all in use that use VGA) and if you're a hobbyist that has a higher that normal chance to ever desire plugging one.

You can always use another fork like Cyberfox or Waterfox.

Serious question here, i just upgraded my gpu to an rx 480, its all good and the card is working but now the fan at the rear on my pc isn't spinning, any ideas of what could be the issue?

>>56468985
is it plugged in

>>56468997
pretty sure it is yes, i pulled out a cable that was in the way of sliding in the graphics card and i put it back in when i was done.

I am somewhat tech illiterate so bear with me. My ISP provides internet through some transmiter on this high up place while there is a reciever up on our roof that has a cable which goes into PC. Something like that. Basically, not a cable internet.
Now, for those who know what kind of internet this is, I want to ask whether there are any technical limitations concerning download and upload speeds, such as the case of ADSL connection that can upload at maximum of 1,4 Mbps which I have learned recently. Not sure how correct this info is.
Anywho, the ISP offers a 12/1 connection, 18/1,5 and 25/???. I would like to know whether the low upload speeds are because technology doesn't allow them to be any higher or because the ISP are jews.

Alright dudes, I will get this meme monitor (LG 25' ultrawide). Unfortunately I don't have the money or space to get the 29' version but ok.
It's like the height of a 23' monitor.

Does anyone have experience with those?

Can you red pill me on the finish of them? is it matte enough so that I won't be able to see my depressed face?

>>56469058
no, that's most likely enough

check your fan plug, you probably accidentally pulled it out. also what type of fan plug is it? 3 prong? 4 prong? is it connected directly to the motherboard or is it connected to the PSU wires?

>>56469058
can't say for sure, even if I knew your computer specs, but 600W feels low
>>56469101
why not dual monitors? you could prob get same quality and more width for cheaper

>>56469069
Dunno man. I think so. Basically they set up a transmitter thing on this huge tower thing we have nearby I believe, set up a reciever thingie on our roof, pointed at said transmitter and from said reciever there goes a cable into this black box and from that into my PC. I honestly have no idea how it works and I can't find the box of the reciever to tell you the name.

I am really confused right now on whether I should build a computer or buy a "gaymen laptop". I have to move to another city in order to study EE/CE, my parents are gonna pay rent and for a new rig or whatever. Normies and family tell me I should get a "gaymen laptop" for muh portability, since I will spend many hours away from home to attend lessons but I want to build my own rig for less money and maybe get a cheapo chromebook for uni. Either way I'm gonna need to run engineering software on my pc, and maybe play a bit of overwatch which is the only game I currently like. Am I going to fuck up if I fall for the >500€ laptop meme? Even a laptop with 4gb of ram and a 950m costs like 680€ here which is ridiculous. I honestly don't want to spend a shit ton of money on something that will be obsolete in a year.

IS IT true that ultra wide monitor stress the fuck out of the GPUs??

I have a RX 470 4GB NITRO+ . I don't believe that it can't handle an ultra wide monitor..

I haven't used my PS3 in half a year, and I went to turn it on today. It started up for half a second as it normally does, then switched to a flashing red light and gave three quick beeps.

Google says this is an overheating issue, but it's not super hot and I heard the fans spin on when it attempted to start up.

Any ideas?

>>56469285
it's not complicated at all anon, get wire cutters, strip the wired, twist the same colored wires together, put black tape around each wire so the wires don't touch anything, and bam, you have a fan

tldr: Is there an Excel function that can add only the numbers on a specific side of a decimal point?

I'm trying to keep track of my hours at work since they sometimes fuck up our checks. Anything over five hours is overtime, which is typical for me to get per day. Sumif gives me the sum total, but I can't specify the argument to add only the decimal places of any cell over 5. I know I can just manually separate the OT hours from regular but I was hoping there would be a way to automate it.

>>56469213
It sounds like you have wireless broadband, which is pretty limited. It's one of those internet technologies that you only use when something better isn't available. It's normal for ISPs to artificially limit upload speed regardless of need, but not by that much. The limitation here is that it's much easier for their bigass tower to send high powered signal down to everyone then it is for your tiny antenna to broadcast it back. Not much to be done if that ISP is your only choice. But a lot of people get by with less upload than that. Maybe look into a vps if you need to be uploading a lot of content.

where do files go when i delete it?

Does anyone remember in the late 90's all those computer convention center things? I never got to go to any, but I remember the commercials talking about everything they had at them.
>VGA displays
>hundreds of mice
>etc

>>56469691
On the drive it records location information about the data. Like hey I'm at x2y4 and I'm taking 8 kilobytes. Instead of deleting all 8, it just deletes the location info so anything can use that space. So generally anything you delete is still on the drive until something overwrites it.

Is this any good?

I'm trying to import my Steam games to Backloggery. I'm borderline retarded however and can't get this Btool to work. Can someone translate and walk me through what it is I do exactly?

Instructions...

1. Go to https://github.com/ToxicFrog/bltool/releases and download the latest release zip file.
2. Extract the zip file somewhere you can get to easily via command prompt.
3. Ensure you have a Java Runtime installed http://www.java.com/en/ and added to your PATH variable. (i.e. so you can type java -version from the command line anywhere and get a response)
4. Open a terminal and navigate to the extracted zip directory.
5. Type in the command (replacing the full $Value with your usernames and passwords) and press enter to run.

java -jar bltool.jar --from steam --to backloggery --steam-name $STEAM_NAME --bl-name $BL_NAME --bl-pass $BL_PASS

EX:
java -jar bltool.jar --from steam --to backloggery --steam-name joesteamid --bl-name joeuser --bl-pass myblpassword

I think my routers screwed, but im not sure if its my router or the exchange.

When i load a webpage i have to press f5 a few times to get it loading but when i torrent or dl a file its consistent with speed and doesnt drop from what its supposed to be (which makes me think its request part of the modem?).

Also when i host a local ftp server on my 3ds i have to close and open the server a few times before my computer will detect it.

So what specific part of the modem (assuming its the issue) is busted? Obviously ill just replace the modem right?

>>56470371
Well, if you're having problems with local ftp sessions, that indicates a router problem, not a modem problem. Although it could just mean you have a shitty connection from your ds. The easiest thing would be to try attaching a different router, and putting the modem in bridging mode if it's a combo unit. You'll need your pppoe login if it's a dsl connection. You could also try changing your dns server and see if that helps your pages load better. Beyond that you may need to talk to your ISP and see if they're having a problem or maybe you need your gateway replaced.

>>56470568
"cleaning" your registry doesn't really work. Your welcome to try tools like cc and glary, but really the only way to do it on 7 is a clean install.

>>56470862
Yeah, even the really weak newer processors can do web browsing/video watching pretty well. Go for the N3050. It's a year newer, and so the ghz difference isn't as pronounced as it seems, plus it has twice the cache.

>>56471363
It's hard to say whether you'll need to reinstall and whether your license will transfer. Running a systprep can help with the former, but it varies. Make sure the pc is paired with a microsoft account. It's generally a good idea to back everything up before making major system changes.

>>56471565

I am about to start learning C++ in my class. I don't want to go at the snail pace the class goes, and I don't want to overload myself with a 700 page book.

Are there any good, recommended, light online learning resources, like codeacademy but for C++?

Fixed. The culprit was dust between cpu and the socket. Propably the reason why it was thrown out anyway.

>>56471935
It's possible you screwed in an additional standoff you weren't supposed to and now it's touching the mobo in bad places on the back.

Reconnect the CPU power connector and make sure if it's a 4+4pin, that they are both even. Sometimes people put them in the wrong way so one of the 4's ends up slightly higher , because they put it over the plastic nub instead of under.

>>56473887
no this is a computer that was working, it's not even mine
I actually got it to post and ran it through a memtest and it didn't give any errors so I guess that means it's the mobo right?

Be intimidated by the material, not the amount of it.

Read through the Bjarne C++ book/pdf, and if you see something you already know, skim it until you see something you don't know.

I don't recommend it, but when I was in Robotics (FRC) and got a new programming member who didn't actually know how to program, I'd just stick him with the new boston (https://thenewboston.com/videos.php?cat=16) and tell him to watch through them all and I'd give him exercises to do. If you *must* have something easy to resort to, use that. His coding style isn't conventional and he isn't really the smartest, but that's what my programming lead stuck me with, so that's what I stuck future programmers with.

I'm assuming you meant input lag and not mouse speed or DPI. It's likely the polling rate. You could either follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mouse_polling_rate or do:

#check what it currently is, read the bottom of my post.
cat /sys/module/usbhid/parameters/mousepoll

sudo gedit /etc/modules
# add following lines to end
-r usbhid
usbhid mousepoll=x

Where x is 1, 2, 4, 8, or 10.
1 means 1000hz, 2 means 500hz 3 means 250, 8 is 125, 10 which is default is 100hz. After that, reboot.

hey /g/angstas, I'm having an issue with windows 10 (yes i know, what was i thinking?).

so basically it has been a real bitch lately and running slow af, until yesterday when it decided to explode altogether. turned on pc and it won't load the OS period.

I've created a recovery drive using my laptop and can get to the recovery options. After trying to "repair" it, I'm stuck with error: 0x0000098 and it says my bcd is corrupt. I've tried a few ways to rebuild it, but can't get anywhere.

After using the command prompt and bcdedit /export c:\bcdbackup, I get: "the store export operation has failed. the volume for a file has been externally altered so that the opened file is no longer valid."

Is there any other way to rebuild the bcd? I'd like to exhaust all possible solutions before loading ubuntu onto it, fetching my files and reformatting.

How do I restore applications with Titanium Backup exactly? I created a backup of the application + data of a few apps and then put them onto a new device within the same place that TI keeps backups.

But when I go to restore them it says that there are no backups for the app. Do I need the properties and the apk? I have an apk.gz, a tar.gz (of the apk), and a properties file. I unpacked the tar.gz and installed the app, placed the properties file into the backup folder, yet there is nothing to restore.

Maybe becayse of useless copies of objects in container classes. For example, you have to pass a fully-constructed object to vector::push_back(), and that object will be copied into the vector, which is totally overkill if the argument is a temporary. This has been solved with move semantics in C++11 and the emplace* family of methods, but the arguments must support move semantics themselves... Like everything in C++, the feature is there, yet full of corner cases

The -j(x) thing is a bit more complicated than that. It doesn't exactly mean threads, it means separate processes (correct me if my terminology is wrong). You can safely do -j4 (assuming by 2 cores 4 threads you mean each core has 2 threads). Some people recommend doing -j(threads+1) because it holds the amount of jobs or something, but in all honesty, the difference between j4 and j5 is so low it doesn't even matter.

If you do something insane like -j16, it'll throttle and it won't get anything done. It won't blow up your computer or hurt anything, but you could crash. -j6 is safe, but I don't really recommend it.

Just do -j4 for all your builds unless the documentation has a large confusing paragraph that has the word "thread" in it.

I've been using this laptop for a few years now, but lately it has been shutting off at random, even when plugged in.
I'm pretty sure having the ac adapter plugged in should bypass the battery for system power, but I'm at a loss as for why this problem is occuring so often.

Could it be caused by the battery not matching the DC rating for the laptop?

How often do you find good offers for VPNs? I just bought a year of NordVPN weeks ago for a lower price but then I see a different service for an even lower price for 3 years. Should I get it?

I tend to make a build directory like this:

mkdir build-packagename
cd build-packagename
../configure
make -j8 #or whatever necessary

You're fine with compiling in the source dir, though. Generally inside the installation instructions, it will tell you to make a build dir, or to just run a makefile. If it doesn't tell you, you can assume that it compiles fine in the source directory.

There are other disks you can use if Lazesoft isn't working with your hardware. Macrium has recovery tools, and Gandalf's PE has a full portable windows install complete with easybcd. Also see if your bios is detecting that you still have a drive attached.

I guess this belongs here. I might cross post if I find a more suitable buy thread, but this is a stupid, uneducated and (like most of its nature) time sensitive question:

So I would like to play WoW on this thing. I'm looking at two laptops, linked below. One an i5 u, the other HQ and a 950m and 960m respectively. $125 gets me the upgrades as well as MSI over Acer (which I have a feeling is a good thing?). The Acer has a 128gb SSD which I believe is the only thing going for it apart from the price point.

Acer 950m: http://www.newegg.com/Special/ShellShocker.aspx?cm_sp=Homepage_SS-_-P3_34-315-423-_-09072016&Index=3

MSI 960m: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154112&cm_re=960m-_-34-154-112-_-Product

I do not need ultra or even high settings. I want it to run at a stable fps with limited frame drops. If the 950m can accomplish that with the dual core i5 then that's precisely what I want. The most taxing thing I will do on this device is play games.

I can technically afford the i7 model @ just under $800. I don't know if intel's laptop processors are like their desktop, but I've never needed more than an i5. If that processing power is more vital for laptops to run games smoothly I'm open to spending the extra bucks but technically would love to save money.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

>>56481854

They kind of are, but they kind of aren't.
Specifically, the Q suffix on the higher-end models signify that they are quad core CPUs. Anything without a Q suffix is a dual core with (i5, i7) or without (i3) hyperthreading.

You'll want the MSI for the 960m.

How does proxies work?

Or rather, when using a website like Startpage, and I visit a webpage though it using their proxy, will it essentially mean that my ISP will only know I visited startpage and not what sites(https and all)?

Obviously it's just google so there's nothing really incriminating you can use it for, but I just got a bit curious.

Is there any program that could replace and overcome Skype?

https://stallman.org/skype.html

Read it all, but the part you're looking for is at the bottom.

>>56482029
Thanks. It looks like a nice set up for $700, just wish it had an SSD.

>>56482490
Then buy one.

>>56481999
Yeah, sound like your drives dead or dying. On the bright side it's a great time to upgrade to SSD. You could pop that drive into another computer as a secondary on the off chance it gets detected there, but it's unlikely.

>>56482056
That's pretty much it. Startpage uses scrambled URLs that expire after a few minutes, and the SSL protects the contents of the pages.

>>56482490
I'd take the MSI with the SSD and the i5. beats the acer both in CPU and GPU, and I think you'll like the build. But none of them would be terrible. I doubt the i7 would make a huge difference for you, but you could go with that model and swap in an SSD later if you wanted to.

i wonder what would happen if everyone like you on /g/ spent 1 day, just 1 day, and let go, if they all just installed windows, kept cortana on, used google as their search engine, no private tabs, no vpns, all that crap, and everyone just let it all go, i wonder how many people would come back to /g/ with a fresh attitude and would stop being paranoid
i honestly feel kinda bad for a lot of the people here, im no saint, but im not paranoid about everything, and i realize not everyone is the most drastic extent of paranoid either, but so many people are too afraid to let go because they are stuck in their own world where everyone is out to get them, it make me curious how many people have made themselves delusional about the real world too
i just find it funny and kinda sad

>>56482924
its not delusion, you're just a fucking idiot if you don't think 'the world' is out to get you

But we do run windows 10; in VMs and secondary gaming computers. We know all about that lifestyle. You can decide that privacy doesn't mean anything to you. But you're dismissing a valid viewpoint with a great deal of merit simply because you find it easy not to care. That doesn't make you special or enlightened. You can decide that it's not your battle to fight, and ultimately contribute to problems you don't acknowledge. That's up to you. But don't come here and preach to us about how you're so much smarter for not caring.

If I buy the unlocked iPhone 7 with T-Mobile SIM will it work on MetroPCS? Yes, I've asked them... Three different people. They all said yes as long as it's unlocked.

MetroPCS uses T-Mobile so it should be fine, right? What does unlocked even mean? It says unlocked T-Mobile. Is it just a T-Mobile ONLY iPhone that is paid off?

I don't agree with everything Stallman says, and I think he fearmongers, or at least words it with that intent, a bit, but he does give sources.

It's not like we're saying everyone is out to get us, but Microsoft owns many things, so if their OS is shady, their products like Skype would be expected to be shady as well.

We aren't living in constant fear of the P word (proprietary), but I'd prefer open source over proprietary just because they tend not to be as full of bloat or as shady. There's obvious exceptions like sublime which is closed source and proprietary, but isn't out to get you or anything. It just doesn't make too much sense to use it over a free open source text editor.

I don't know if I fully understood what you were trying to get across, but I hope I cleared some of that up.

>>56483211
i agree that it is a problem that needs fixing, but a couple people using vms and vpns arent going to change anything, if you want to make change, get into politics
and i wasnt saying im better that anyone else for not using that stuff, i applaud those who have the patients for it, all i was saying was that some people go too far with it, and it would be interesting to see how many of them ease up after taking a break from that lifestyle for a day, didnt mean to offend anyone

I have an android, and Lightning just isn't working with i2p.
Every time I try to switch to it in general settings, I just get the same message, that i2p needs to be installed and running, and the asks if I would like to install it, even though it is already installed and running.
Even worse, whenever I say yes, it doesn't give me anything, just that the app or whatever wasn't found.

Also, setting the proxy to localhost and setting the port number to 4444 doesn't work very well in lightning, if at all.

>>56483295
Unlocked means you can take that phone to any company that has compatible hardware, meaning the same network type and frequencies. Tmobile is GSM, so it will work on any network that uses the att or tmobile towers. And since metroPCS uses the exact same network as tmoblie, you don't even have to worry if all of the frequencies are covered. In short, you're good.

Don't let the title discourage you. It's a book that teaches you how to make a dungeon crawler game by showing you how to make an engine.

I was the one that posted the Windows 7 won't update last night.

To the dude who was helping me your alright I really appreciate it.

I just left it on checking for updates all night (on accident desu) and in the morning it found all 167(!) updates.

I have to install operating systems with some regularity.

Is there a way to... Sort of HAVE all the Windows updates, like on a flash drive or something? And install them manually? It pretty much takes a whole day to get a system up to date in Windows Vista/7/8.

>>56484395
Were you the guy that I told to just keep waiting for updates since it always takes forever to find updates the first time you update?

Yo, /sqt/, I was wondering what's the holding us back from increasing sound quality in online video stuff. Primarily Youtube, we are entering the whole 4K era of resolution but when will we be getting lossless audio on Youtube.

Does anyone have any experience with replacing the hard drive in an iPod Classic with the iFlash adapter? I'm looking to get one to replace the drive in my Classic to complement the Rockbox software I have on it right now, but I've heard several reports about FLAC playback being slow. It plays fine on my current drive, but I would like to not deal with a spinning drive.

Did anyone who has done this run into any problems with FLAC playback? Should I be okay if I use a Class 10 SD card for speed?

>>56484743
The performance difference between DDR3 and DDR4 is almost negligible for most purposes.

>>56484560
>constant unexpected power loss
I'm assuming a PSU wouldn't be sufficient to fix that?

Repeated power loss is dangerous either way, though. I might be mistaken, but I know that forcing an unexpected shutdown on older computers could really screw up the data management system. Things might've changed by now, but the type of storage device is irrelevant to that.

Nah it was yesterday. But I guess the advice still stands. It still seemed like installing the 3 updates in the pastebin (which i should have saved...) was able to kick start it.

But again, anyone know if its possible to just have a boot cd/usb of Windows 7 with all the updates on it? You would think microsoft would consolidate past updates into an archive for this purpose. If they don't I can't find it. I've manually updated a PS3/PS4 before no problem.

>>56484893
>You would think microsoft would consolidate past updates into an archive for this purpose.
The problem is that whenever they come out with a new update, they might decide that this one is more important than another update, and the entire order has to be changed.

That order depends on a lot. Chipset, CPU, motherboard, etc. Of course, if you change it later, it might still work, but the purpose of the order is to get you a stable system. Could they of just built different lists for expected PC builds? Yes. Would that give them a profit? No, you already bought the software, and updates aren't a tipping factor.

You can integrate updates into a windows installer using dism

http://www.howtogeek.com/255540/the-last-windows-7-iso-youll-ever-need-how-to-slipstream-the-convenience-rollup/

or a tool like rt7Lite. You can also download them into a separate install package

http://www.thewindowsclub.com/update-windows-office-without-an-internet-connection-with-wsus-offline-update

Microsoft did consolidate. That's what the convenience rollup was. And once you are up to date the monthly rollups will be all you need. It's still pretty messed up that they made it this hard to get current though.
