>>56542060
Samsung provides downloadable software for that.

trying to get my new computer build setup and only just got to desktop, now my computer, won't recognize my ethernet cord. So I googled it and tried what it said, going to devices and updating drivers but it tells me windows could not find driver software for your device

Not being able to assemble it when the parts are new means that you run the risk of exceeding the return period of the retailer when you find out a part is bad, forcing you to deal directly with the manufacturer which can be a pain.

No

I've decided that lugging a mid tower to and from university is a fucking chore. So I've started looking for compact cases but nothing seems right.
>Clean exterior
>MATX or ITX
>No ventilation at the top whatsoever
>Good cooling
>Decently silent
>No windows
>Easily accessable for removal of heatsinks and drives
>Good cable management (this rules out the Define Nano S because I guarantee that any drives behind the motherboard tray will create spaghetti)
>All filtered intakes
Right now, the Corsair 250D looks like the best option, if it weren't for the window.

>>56541988
Depends on the processor and the graphics card, usually it's the RAM.

Are SSDs on laptops worth it just for sake of smoother desktop experience? I'm thinking of buying a relatively cheap i3 laptop but adding SSD to requirements bumps the price significantly.

>>56542857
Putting an HDD in a laptop in 2016 should be punishable by death, and the fact that manufacturers charge (in some cases) literally 3-4x more than cost just to put something in that should be the only option in the first place is horrendous. 128 is a bit small depending on what you are doing, but a 256GB SSD is better for a laptop than any possible configuration of HDDs. They're just plain better suited to that task.

>>56543036
For the workstation related tasks it will kick the ass of a single 6700k, but single core performance will be about on par with a 8350, which is to say not great but able to keep up for most games.

If it can keep up with games thats great, i currently have 2 of the lower class xeons from the same skew, i guess ill drop the shekels for the upgrade, any idea how tf i can overclock them?

>>56543093
Because heat and power consumption, two things that increase rapidly when you increase the voltage to get a stable higher clock speed, are not desirable traits for server farms.

>>56543099
No i7 here lol, only xeons from the gulftown and bloomfield era

>>56543117

My cousin keeps sapping all the internet bandwidth. How can I go about manually setting a limit on how much one person can use at a time?

>>56544536
That's like asking architecture vs civil engineering. Two very different professions, aiming to accomplish two very different goals.

A professor at MIT once said that CS would be better described as "process procedure". You learn how to approach and solve problems in a logical fashion, and it just so happens that a computer will do the work for you. Ultimately, the goal of getting a CS degree is to become a developer of some sort.

A MIS degree is entirely different. You learn business concepts, IT concepts, and learn how to use the two to efficiently and effectively run an IT operation for a business. It's much more managerial than anything, but you do get a solid background in IT. A likely career path after graduation would be Junior Sysadmin - Sr. Sysadmin - Manager / Director of some sort.

MIS degree is "easier", but both are respectable careers. Are you more interested in the theory of computers, or the administration of enterprise networks?

Let's say a CPU's max power is at 2.4GHz, if it uses less for doing less work at 1.15GHz, does it mean it also uses less power?

Well I am at that point in life where I need to commit to a major. I want to get into CS but I also know that it can be a bitch to get a job. I have always been up in the air of picking math, physics, or CS. I figure regardless of what route I go I can always self study in the other two and I am giving up physics to self study as that's more of a hobby.

So the tldr part is if I want a job out of school should I go CS or applied math with self study in CS? If I go the applied math route and find out I hate everything about CS would that still leave me with options? If I am going the math route would it be better to get a math degree with a computing concentration? Do I have to suffer through a masters or can I get away with a bachelors. Can I just say fuck school, spend a year self studying all of the math/CS I would ever need and try and get a job that way?

>>56544678
>See why this is kind of a shitty thing to ask on /g/?
Yeah, considering 85% of the content on here is about gaymen peripherals and ricing linux.

My input:
If you're worried about a job straight out of school, start on the CS degree. Have you started college or are you in high school right now? Applied math/physics are not really optimal from an employer's point of view, since it likely means that they will have to spend a significant amount of time training you on the job specifics.

CS degree would show you have a handle on developing and program logic, and you would probably be able to get an entry level position relatively quickly. Mind you, it might be some pajeet-tier codemonkey shit, but if you're at all decent you'll quickly be able to show your worth.

This might be something you want to discuss with a career counselor.

>>56544723
$100?!?

I don't think it's your CPU utilization, since that would means @ 12 cents/kwh you are using an average of 1.15kw extra draw.

1150 watts.

Your CPU isn't going to do that. Sounds like a fridge or something that's running nonstop.

I'm using a 2005 single core laptop, with 2 gigs of memory, running Windows XP. Why the fucking hell does Firefox Nightly struggle so pathetically with dealing with text fields? As I write this there are occasionally hangs where the entire browser becomes unresponsive. I keep can keep typing and eventually some manner of buffer handling my input is flushed and ends up in the post box. And oh man, don't even try to backspace.

All and all, yes, it's older hardware and a branch that's in constant development, but this is completely absurd for a browser to have this much trouble doing literally anything. There is absolutely nothing this thing can handle, and it correlates with the e10-s development.

Obnoxious. There are constant hangs no matter what I'm doing. This thing plays 1080p videos more smoothly than it browses the internet, for fuck's sake. Youtube is unusable, whether flash or html5.

My education past is a bit long and weird. Long story short I am about to graduate at my CC with a Liberal Arts: Physical Science focus (Gen Chem 1&2, Engineering Physics 1&2, and Differential Equations). My state lets me transfer into one of it's state colleges at a discount so I am going that route as I am poor and too much fucking around has ruined any hope of really good universities. It will be harder for me to transfer in as CS for me but not impossible.

>>56544811
Most likely, your whole computer can't draw 1000 watts.

>>56544844
It basically comes down to the fact that Applied Mathematics or Physics is a more abstract degree that isn't really suited to employers needing hard skill. CS has that.
Now if you do one of the aforementioned degrees, and manage to make a relatively impressive portfolio, you might be able to get hired somewhere. You could also make a good portfolio while in CS, and it would look even better.

Also, a lot of positions specify CS degree. Just look at monster/indeed.

Whatever you choose, I wish you the best of luck. I know what it's like to be looking at college and be poor, and I went a different route that I can't recommend, but it turned out OK. I'm sure in the long run you'll manage, no matter what you choose.

Without launching into a discussion about QoS that could fill a book, there should be a simple way to give your traffic priority, allowing him to download porn all day and your traffic not be affected.

It basically aggregates all the inputs of the twitch users, and then picks the highest voted button action.

>>56545204
i mean different formats like

one is 3.3.3.2
and the other is 2.2.2.3

does that indicate that second is older than the first?

Is buying a cheap 4K monitor ( <500$ ) a good idea? I am not gamer at all, just want bigger screen with IPS panel.

>>56545263
no, i don't think so. the ip range ( the numbers before the first 2 dots) indicate the location/country of the server.

I don't know a lot about electronics, so prepare for a proper stupid question.
Basically, I need to determine how much does it cost to keep my server running (it's just an old desktop PC). So, how do I know the power consumption of this computer? Do I have to sum the wattages of the various components?
I need to know if it's worth to replace it with a Raspberry.

>>56545280

>>56545306
Best way is to get a watt meter and measure it during normal usage, hard to estimate idle power just from the components.

Are there any practical reasons to embed a file in an image?

Tried yesterday to upload an image from a reputable site, but it claimed to have an embedded file.

Deleted it and ran a bunch of scans today due to my antivirus losing connection to an online service, but nothing was found.

Most likely a coincidence or that something's happening to the Kaspersky portal today, but is there any reason to do that to a jpeg?

what's the difference between Lubuntu and LXLE?

>>56545632
To share files over a service that only allows image files
Just downloading or opening a jpeg with an embedded file wont infect you, you have to take an extra step which common sense 2016 should block.
Back before the captchas there was a virus that propogated itself by posting an image file telling people to rename the file to .js and run it, ending up with the entirety of 4chan being virus spam.

Can I partition a USB flashdisk to have one bootable linux partition and one normally functioning file storage partition to use?

>>56545680

Yes but you could just drop the files where the Linux files are. If you care about order make a folder called stuff and save stuff inside. You might also make the USB a persistent bootable live USB by allocating all the free space as persistent save space, then you could save files to the user folder in the USB, and you could access this files from within the live OS or just browsing the USB folders.

Sorry, I have no idea which video card is your best bet for that particular game. Your video card is pretty old though, almost any card you buy is going to be better, even if you just spend $100. If I were you I'd buy a decent video card for ~$150, and if that doesn't do the job I'd upgrade the rest. Someone with more insight can probably tell you what your best options are.

They do consume a pretty reasonable amount of power and putting that much power down a digital cable would be pretty absurd and dangerous, also depending on the distance there could be a lot of power loss for using DC as opposed to AC. In general though it's a lot easier just to use an AC cable to the monitor because it seperates power and communication lines, making designs simpler. PSU's a decade or two ago did come with extra AC outlets so you could power the monitors from the PSU input, but they ditched it probably because of safety concerns. If you want to improve cable management you can always wire the AC inputs in series so you only use one socket for multiple monitors.

>>56549265
Well considering that almost every phone uses a class D amplifer, you've got to wonder why you would want FLAC quality on such a shitty amplifier. Just convert them, it'll use less space and will consume less power during playback. If you insist on wasting your power though, VLC mobile should support FLAC, it will probably slow your phone considerably though.

Generally speaking you shouldn't need to use programs such as CCleaner. A lot of people argue it often does more damage than good and that editing the registry is pointless these days.

Yeah it's about as safe as you're going to get.

Updated my graphics card drivers and now I get this.Tried reinstalling but the same thing happens. What causes an update for my graphic drivers to do this?

either use a pci-e riser to install a gpu sideways, or use a low profile gpu

I'm thinking of getting a SATA male to USB male adapter so I can use my spare SSDs to back photos. Don't want additional AC/DC power etc. Know of any adapters like that?

Both of these IP addresses are in dotted decimal format.
IPv4 addresses are 32 bits in size and contain 4, 8 bit fields that range from 0 to 255.

I have a 40 mb m4a audio file of a concert which includes many songs.
I want to trim it to separate songs. I have access to an android tablet and a slow wifi connection.
Is there any good android app for this ?
I don't want to use an online service because it would take ages to upload the file.
Please, recommend me a good app.

ask your gpu manufacturer or reinstall the old drivers

I have my pc in my room and my router is 1 floor directly below.
I have a Linksys AE3000 dongle right now but it's shit because apparently my case sucks up all the wifi (My laptop works fine in the same room).

Should I buy a long ass usb extension cord for the dongle or some sort of internal adaptor?

I just got a new build with quite good specs (i7 6700, gtx 1060, 16gig ram) to get back into gaming and video editing.
However, I can't get used to windows after using arch for so long.
So would these specs suffice for running Windows in a vm and still game properly?

>>56550753
no you stop being a retard and buy a fucking cat5e cable

>>56550783
gpu passthrough exists for kvm-qemu
google those terms
but why not just dualboot?
on ssd you should be between win/arch in 30 seconds
I know I am

>>56550791
I'm renting the place and I don't really want to run a 50m cable downstairs

>>56550847
but you want to run a how long USB cable instead?

Anyone here installed mumble-sever on ubuntu before? Installed the packages, updated, and ran the configuration.
The process is running as far as I can tell but I cannot connect to the server at all.
I can ping the server itself but cannot connect to mumble.

Any ideas? I am completely lost.

whats wrong with this /etc/network/interfaces file?

it doesn't connect to the wireless network when i unplug the cable. the network name and pre shared key are stored in wpa_supplicant, i guess that part is straight forward. it's an thinkpad t410 running debian jessie

>>56550843
I'm currently dualbooting, but I miss my terminal, which is soo comfy to work in. And I fucking hate that I always use awesomewm's hotkeys in windows, it opens random windows senpai

I re installed windows on a laptop that has an nvidia chip
I installed the drivers for it and it shows up in device manager and everything, but when I open the nvidia control panel I can't select it as the preferred graphics adapter what do

>>56550914
can you telnet the port from anoter machine?
firewall opened?

is dove soap and dove chocolate the same company or what?

>>56546361
KeePassX can gen passwords not bad

>>56551004
If I telnet using putty to the port it doesn't seem to connect.
Netstat shows that Murmurd process is using the standard 64738 port

Do you mean firewall on my local machine or the server because I can connect to other servers just fine.

>>56550899
Maybe 10m just into the hallway or something. An ethernet cable I'd have to run it at least 50m down the stairs or against the wall.

I just realized I give 0 shits about my roommates, but something about a such a fuckhuge cable is off putting

Is there a Python compiler similar to CodeBlocks?

>>56551076
if you can telnet other servers but not ur own, open the port on your server's firewall.

Trying to decide between Intel i7 (3.5 ghz) and Intel i7 (4 ghz) for my next PC build. Obviously the first one is cheaper, but I just want to play games. Is CPU important for video games? Should I get the better CPU? Also it will be paired with a GTX 1070/ or 1080. thanks lads

i guess that would work.
ethernet cable is still far superior. if you play any games at all you should not use wifi, even if it looks ugly as fuck.
use some of these (pic) to fasten the cable along lists and walls or even the ceiling

>>56551171
>only games
i5.
second question just fucking google benchmarks and reviews.

About to build my first gaming pc is a Thermaltake Versa H21 ATX Mid Tower case good for a first time build? (On a heavy budget, can't afford much more than this $24 case)

dove chocolate?

>>56551339
you never heard of dove chocolate?

gib me any torrent to seed
i have 100mbps up and down

na, i've heard of dove soap though

Depends on the game. Some are cpu intensive, some are not. Newer games are better able to make use of i7

not really.

I think I'll get a long cable after all, thanks.
Just gotta swing it by the landlord first

>>56551539
That's a pretty broad statement to refute. Care to provide any links?

>>56551609
no it's not. even a fucking i3 is on par with an i5 in most games.
check some actual benchmarks before you post next time.

http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1544?vs=1543

>>56545449
I would say thanks anon, because on a technical level it did just what you thought it would do, but it still wont work, it say I need the authorization from a user that is ME. It does not make sense.

>>56551697
I said new games, not ones that are two years old. Hyperthreading optimization is only beginning to make progress, and not happening in every game. But for high end there's a compelling argument that you can do better than i5

>>56551885
you can easily check "new games" benchmarks yourself you retarded fuck.

just because it was released a few years ago doesnt mean it cant be good for benchmarks.
game devs dont make a new fucking engine from scratch every year for every game. for example BF1 uses the same fucking engine BF4 and Star Wars, with modifications of cources, but it's still the same base engine.
Same with every fucking Call of Duty game.
Some of the others are good because they are really fucking resources intensive like Witcher 3.

And you're a fucking retard if you think there has been any major changes in the way games are made and optimized in the last 2 years.
Fucking DX12 and Vulkan isnt even mainstream yet.

>>56549959
Stack Overflow score? Huh. I'll look into that, thanks anon

OK so I got a HUAWEI/HONOR 7 Lite and I can't find a way to transfer files between the phone and >ubuntu. The phone only works this stupid "HiSuite" software which obviously doesn't work on linux..

What is the easiest way to get this working, lads?

>>56552200
no USB mass storage mode?
bluetooth?

>>56552200
>The phone only works this stupid "HiSuite" software
Are you certain? I had a Samsung that seemed only to work with his own suit program, but then I found out I just had to change a setting in the phone's settings.

>>56552200
why the fuck did you post in this old thread AND the new thread?

>>56552001
Meh. Your wrong but it's not worth putting a lot of effort into arguing about. There's a lot of room for optimizing even given the common engines. It's really a matter of how well you're willing to code for multiple threads. An i7 isn't the first thing I would spend extra money on in a system, but it can make a difference in some modern game, and that number should increase as time goes on. Especially factoring in things like VR.
