I'm Reading Lammel's book on Networking in preparating for the CCNA.
What else should I study?

Serious question. Is i5 6400/6500 with intel hd530 good enough for browsing and watching high quality cartoons and movies on a 1440p monitor?

>>56642091
>Also try running sfc /scannow from a command line to try and repair any damaged system files that may be related to the problem.
Okay so I just got done with this, and the log file it pointed me to only mentioned three files being corrupted;
bootmgr.efi.mui
browser.h1s
msdatl3.dll

What are these? Are they important to running windows?

Every instance said something along the lines of
>Could not reproject corrupted file [ml:520{260},l:94{47}]"\??\C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Ole DB"\[l:22{11}]"msdatl3.dll"; source file in store is also corrupted

How fucked am I, or are these files unimportant? Google isn't very helpful but then again, I'm not very versed in this stuff.

This seems like it's getting out of hand consider I'm still sure this is a graphics card problem.

>>56642339
Yes, this problem likely has something to do with your graphics card, but if it were strictly a hardware issue then we wouldn't be messing with settings at all. It's difficult to determine which files have an impact on what, and how they might be relating to your problem. In general it's a bad idea to leave any system files broken. Try running sfc from inside safe mode. Otherwise since your source files are also corrupted you would need to use this

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html

You could just try doing a system restore instead, if you have one far enough back. Or try the other troubleshooting steps first.

>>56642285
Yes. For non-gaming, modern intel integrated is actually pretty good.

So the family fridge broke last night, and I'm currently heating up a cup of queso from Moe's yesterday or the previous day.
I tried heating up that same cup of queso yesterday and just forgot about it, since I used the toaster oven and already started eating with an unheated queso.

Is my 1-2 day old queso still good if it's properly heated, or should I throw everything in the trash?

>>56642479
>Try running sfc from inside safe mode.
That's what I did. I can literally only do anything on my computer in safemode, unless I uninstall my graphics card driver.

>>56642540
Theoretically yes

>>56642551
I figured. You probably want to try things in this order

1. System restore

2. Hard uninstall and redownload drivers

3. Disable extra msconfig services

4. Repair system files

5. Memory test

MSI Afterburner? I haven't used it in a very long time, but I remember it being good for this. You can also log things to a file IIRC, if you don't want it on top of your game.

Just curious, how much RAM do you have? SSD or HDD? In my experience lag/slowdown spikes are either hitting 90%+ of RAM usage, or the game just loading new data from disk.

Thanks mate. Do you think people would care about the original box? I think I know where it is, but I'll have to do some digging.

I just did a clean windows reinstall on my laptop, bought a new hard drive.

I appear to be missing some drivers though, because I can't change the display resolution or connect using Ethernet. I can connect using the internal wifi fine though.

How can I figure out what drivers I am missing? And where do I get them? When I go to the manufacturers website it just lists ALL THESE DRIVERS and I'm pretty sure I don't need all 5 chipsets installed.

>>56643019
Start off with the lan drivers so you can get the ethernet working. Depending on what version of windows you are on, the remaining drivers may be installed through windows update

Was having driver issues, decided to do reinstall of windows. It blue screened half way through, with IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal error. Now it crashes on start up. Any ideas?

>>56643019
Manufacturers website should have them. Narrow down the selection with your model number and then it should give a list of drivers with descriptions of what they're for.

Give us a link or at least model number if you cant undestand it.

>>56643059
Try the repair software on the disk/ISO. If that doesnt work then you'll need to install it again.

Be sure and compare the hashes on the files as you sync them between the 3 drives, or you'll just end up spreading the bit rot as it happens.

nope, thats some half assed rationalization of why other times someone was told to not turn it off if its not off for longer time..

Don't be so hast anon. I have written Toshiba X300 4TB hdds in my server already. Those are holding all my movies, Blu-ray rips, and encodes. The 2TB setup would be specifically for music I've collected and ripped. Ripping everything into FLAC is starting to take up quite a bit of room. So I figure music warrants it's own drive (s) now. I'm just frugal with my money. Was hoping the good name of HGST drives would be enough to dispel the "refurbished" part.

Microsoft went through a phase of releasing known telemetry updates. Anything since then is most likely not labeled as suck in the KB. There's plenty of speculation out there, but I doubt you'll find anything concrete.

After my PC didn't boot up normally today, I discovered the circled part in pic related is brown on my MB (MSI B150M Bazooka). If I RMA the board for this reason, how likely is it MSI will just blame me for the damage, even though I changed nothing between yesterday evening and this morning? Because I really need this system, I'd rather just get a new board today, if my chances for a replacement are slim. Also, how likely is it more components were damaged by this issue?

>>56644400
I dropped my laptop and the display got busted, sent it in to MSI, and they fixed it without any sort of hassle. It did take a while though - pretty sure it was just sitting around for a few weeks until I called to check on the RMA status, and then it was returned within 5 days.

Sure. Here's a hint: Explorer is an FTP client.
If, by web root, you mean your site's root folder, you probably shouldn't. You should place your backups in a directory that isn't accessible to the web.

You could also move to a service that offers a more "dropbox"-like way of mounting your directory as a network drive in Windows. servage.net offers this, for example.

Cancer has always been a thing. Obesity is mostly because poor people can only afford food that's too cheap to have any nutritional value, and corporations intentionally add the most addictive ingredients they can get away with.

>>56645386
Cancer has always been a thing, but it's never been a more serious issue than disease, or starvation, or getting killed by another tribe.

Obesity is because food is cheap, because humans are intelligent and learned to plant crops and all the technologies we have learned.

Where is the iso-image of all the september security updates?

>>56645399
No, obesity has nothing to do with food being to easy to come by. That is a common misconception. When people have access to healthy foods, meaning their parents had the time and money to prepare a healthy diet when they were growing up, they seldom grow up to be obese. Cheap food makes people fat.

>>56645405
Security updates to what?

I have two computers connected to the same router.

One of which is used only for downloading and seeding torrents.

I have 5+ hard drives on this computer, how can I access them from my other computer, or even one drive so I can copy them to that computer and watch them on the other computer without having to transfer the files via an external hard drive?

I use windows 10 on both computers.

>>56645441
Cheap food is easier to come by than Slightly more expensive healthy food that's as easier to prepare, or healthy food that takes effort, all this stems because we can put actually have 5 hamburgers a day without killing off the tribes cow population

>>56645487
Yes we have the ability to overfeed people now. That is technically a contributing factor, in the same way that the invention of modern guns is a contributing factor to gun violence. But that misses the point. If people eat healthier kinds of foods, they don't suffer from this wave of disproportionately obesity, regardless of how much food is actually available to them.

Well next month microsoft stops releasing individual updates anymore. They'll just release one big rollup every month with all the new updates, kind of like they've been doing on win10. They'll also release a security only rollup each month, but you have to download it manually. After the first one comes out I plan on testing the different tools and seeing what's capable of downloading the security rollup automatically. Anyway this might help you with your update woes in the mean time

It depends. If a person was eating an ideal diet, there wouldn't be much point. But a lot of times we don't. I'd say that unfortunately you get what you pay for, and the cheap ones are full of the crap forms of the vitamins that your body can't really absorb. The actually useful ones tend to range from $30-60 a bottle.

Amazon for a reliably legit key, kinguin for a much cheaper one that's unlikely to give you problems. With ebay there's a good chance the key will be revoked a few months down the road. If you feel like you can trust daz loader, it's pretty much as good as legit windows at this point.

I have an old computer that is randomy freezing. It starts to slow down, clocks slow to updating every few seconds, some programs stop updating, cursor slows down, web pages won't load then it just completely freezes. No response from input keys and I have to hard shutdown.

Happens randomly, mostly after coming back after being AFK for a while (screen saver, lock screen), web browsing or commonly after watching MKV's using MPHC. I have never seen it crash while playing a video game oddly enough. If I notice it slowing down I can go to launch task manager by CTRL-ALT-DELETE but it never comes up.

The last time it froze I noticed on my LCD status panel that one of the CPU cores was stuck at 100% while the rest were under seemingly normal load

Not based solely on the kaby lake cpu. It's only a 5% or so improvement on what you have. Like a lot of Intels upgrades, very incremental.

>>56646924
Do any of those choices sound like repair or recovery? Also try F8 now.

>>56646948
None. It's either safe mode, safe mode with internet, or the usual start up.

Use windows 10 home groups. Share the drives with your other computer, then you can access it via explorer when you're in the same network. That's how I keep my little programming projects centralized so I can switch being programming on my desktop to my laptop on the fly.

If you could get into safe mode, you could probably just run that sfc /scannow command, or do a simple system restore. To copy the file manually you would need to make a flash drive with a bootable OS on it, like ubuntu or windows PE.

Yes. You wont even notice i7 on most games.

>>56648977
thx anon
fun fact , it was listed as a combo...

Video drivers fail very often. Specifically they fail any time I attempt to play Overwatch.

Is this a sign of bad drivers, somwthing wrong with OW, or something else? Also, when my card arrived it was already out of shrink wrap. But it worked great until I downloaded drivers 372.70.

>>56648436
Yes. Very, very few games on their own will benefit from an i7.
Whether an i5 is enough for you depends on what you do aside from playing video games.

>>56649103
Try an older or newer driver.

>>56648436
an i5 will normally give you 99.8-100% of the performance of a comparable i7 in most games, except in shit like cities skylines and stuff thats super cpu intensive, where the i5 will still do great, but the i7 will maybe do 10% better

>>56649038
It's pretty much same as 550+ W PSU's: Most people dont need them but they're convinced that higher number is better. Memory manufacturers just roll with this to sell more expensive sticks to people.

>>56649103
Try uninstalling the new drivers and downloading the old ones. It might be a sign of a damaged card but most likely seems like a rare driver, hardware & game combination that is causing the issues. Might get fixed in the next release, keep monitoring for that.

My w-key on my keyboard (Logitech G15) hangs on occasions (i.e. during gaming when I keep it pressed for a while). Is this fixable?

I'm thinking about getting my nephew a peesee, and I was wondering if an i3 6100 would bottleneck a GTX 1060. I was thinking about saving more money and getting a 960, but the 960 does run laps around it for just a marginal increase in price. An i5, even the cheapest one, I feel would be too much for said GPU.

>>56649193
Two most likely reasons
>it is dirty -> clean the key, might as well clean the whole thing while you're there
>you've worn out the rubber dome underneath -> time to buy a new one

>>56649260
Do your nephew a favor and get him an i5

>>56649299
Got it. He did want to play MOINEY CRAFTA, which is legendarily CPU bound, so it should help.

How do I add space between tiles in awesome?

I can't tell if people who give a shit about functional programming are retarded, or if I'm retarded for not realizing why I should give a shit about it.

>>56649290
Well, I've tried cleaning the key, and swapping it with another less worn-out key, without any results. So I guess it's probably reason 2. I don't suppose there's anything I can do to fix the rubber dome?

>>56649409
>>56649290
Or could I potentially use the rubber-thingy from one of the other keys?

>>56649409
>>56649474
Technically speaking you could, but it's not worth the effort. Just get a new mechanical keyboard.

hey guys who exactly are these people looking for? could i do this? does it look like they are just looking for an IT guy? (indian means native american here)

Depends on what you're running, but an i3 is good enough for most games. i5 would give an benefit but it's usually not worth it on cheapskate builds since you'd have to sacrifice performance elsewhere.

>>56649355
Never done anything fully functional but lambdas are pretty cool. You'll save huge amounts of boilderplate code for simple things.

>>56649474
Nah, you wont find replacement parts and the whole process is a pain in the ass. If you're using rubber dome keyboards you'll just have to accept the fact that they'll eventually break under heavy use. Either keep buying new ones or get a mechanical keyboard.

TPB has a "USE A VPN" notice when I open it.
I can't seem to find a quick free vpn I can just use for it and I'm wondering if there's even been any issues with just not using a vpn in the first place.
What do?

thx.
Seasonic S12G-550 550W should do it i guess.

By downloading and installing it from Microsoft's website.
Or by installing the version of DX9 that comes bundled with your software.

Factory Reset.

Or install gentoo.

I figure this is as good a place to ask as anyone since using Chrome is a stupid question in and of itself. Has anyone else who uses Chrome for any reason noticed it's been extra flaky about retaining a site since one of its more recent updates?
I keep a few tabs open all of the time, but I find coming back to them after an hour or two that the page is blanked out, and auto-refreshes upon visiting it. This behavior was never present before. Additionally, opening images will sometimes result in the image briefly showing, and then the image blanking out to a white screen until a refresh. Also never happened until recently. Only began occurring after the v53 update a few weeks ago.

This would only be true if he needed a routed hop to get from the devices to eachother.
So if you had one device on 192.168.0.0/24 and another on 1.0/24 and the last on 2.0/24. But if if you keep them all on the same network segment it will not pass thru the router.

>>56649545
you could ask them. It probably means basic network bullshit.

Any one know any good car stereos?

are soundcards really worth it? I have great speakers, will I hear a difference?

>>56650905
No. Soundcards are really only useful if you're doing like, mega surround sound systems.

Question about the front audio ports on my desktop. If I plug in headphones to the headphone jack, audio plays to the headphones but with a lot of static. Realtek control panel can also configure it as its own headphone audio stream while my speakers can play different audio. If I plug in headphones to the microphone port, I can set it in the control panel as headphones, and it'll playback clean speaker audio.

Why would one port be full of noise while the other has none?

>>56650998
could be a few things. The wire itself could be damaged going to the headphone port. Have you opened the case and inspected it?

>>56650960
but why are there 200$ soundcards with regular stereo output?

>>56650905
Something like a cheap Xonar will be noticably better than most onboard audio if outputting to better than
"computer speakers".

>>56651021
Perhaps. The wires for the front audio are all bundled up in a sleeve short of the plug. The portion I can see appear to be fine.

>>56651051
Because some idiot who doesn't know better will buy cause he thinks it'll make his 40 dollar Radio Shack headphones sound better.

Fluorescent lights need a spike of voltage to turn on, when the gas heats up inside the tube the resistance goes down.
Any other time it's negligible

should i still my logitech g35 headset and get a hyper x cloud ii, or something similar with a 3.5 mm jack?

already tried to boot from a clean image of hyper v to see what happens but nothing same error windows logo and reboot
tried the modules separate but no change

any ideas?

>>56643902
Yes.

Half a minute for fluorescent lights, a fraction of a second for most others.

update on this.
Since I'm doing a full wipe I was going to backup lots of shit, transfer around between HDDs and such.

I have an old (ancient, like 6 years power on time) seagate drive that I was gonna use. Currently it was used for my linux distro.
I just went on to format it so I can use it to store all the shit I need to transfer.
After formatting, the PC restarted again and I noticed that the drive wasn't visible, not even in the partition manager.
I guess it died and I guess it's what's been fucking me for 2 years now. I should've taken note of the "warning" sign on crystaldiskinfo kek

Oh and another question.
If I have a 1TB drive, is it better to split it up on multiple partition to increase performance? I know that it theoretically makes sense based on how the HDD looks up data and I read somewhere that it's optimal to make one partition around 25% of the total HDD space.

browsing modern websites won't be too comfortable with 128M ram
machines like that are only really good now for playing old games on
a 733MHz P3 with 128M ram was pretty standard in 2000, provided it has a 3D accellerator it'll comfortably run games up to around that time (half-life, quake3, unreal tournament, soldier of fortune 2, etc) and a little later with a touch more ram (256-512M) and a reasonable gpu (radeon R300, geforce4/FX), it run games up to around the mid-2000's (freelancer, FEAR, unreal tournament 2004, half-life 2)
