auto vector program for pics?

>>56658949
inkscape

I cant open bios (my keyboard is USB) How do i fix that?

>>56658953
nah I mean that shitty one that everyone uses for anime pics to make a sloppy vector.

Is there any RSS program better than FeedDemon for basic desktop notifications from various feeds? Should have decent filtering options and similar features. Been using FeedDemon for years (actually even bought the paid version back when such existed, because I liked it so much) but it's been discontinued for a long time and hasn't received updates in years so not sure if something better has popped up since.

>>56658978
waifu2x? that's doesn't vectorise images

>>56658981
True, but that's I was looking for.

Secondary question, whats better for actually vectoring pics, Adobe Indesign or Inkscape?

>>56659010
i haven't used indesign

>>56659012
That's the issue, I've used Indesign in a HS setting but never used inkscape. Indesigns primary function isn't vectoring so I'm curious.

>>56658994 #
OMG! Thanks Anon. It worked. You just saved my life. I've huge assignemt to submit on Monday. Thanks again.

>>56659025
>Indesigns primary function isn't vectoring
neither is it for inkscape

I have 4 Hard drives in my server. 2 x 2TB (one from seagate, one HGST) and 2x4TB. (Both Toshiba X300's). In speccy and CrystalDisk the drives Toshiba Drives are showing up as "warning" although both show green in regards to all the specs of the drive. A bit of Googling has shown that this is probably due to the Sector Reallocation count. (360 on one drive, 240 on the other). Both Toshiba drives have around 200 days of up time since purchase with countless terabytes of data written to them.

Should I be worried? The count hasn't increased at all and I was told an ever increasing reallocation count is signs of a dying drive. Was also reading that large capacity drives usually have more reallocated sectors and a higher accepted threshold for them. This somewhat appears to be the case because both my 2TB drives have somewhere in the neighborhood of 20+ reallocated sectors.

Thanks in advance /g/.

it's a vector editor, not just for turning bitmaps into vectors

>>56659053
vectorizing is going from raster to vector images, retard. That's not it's primary goal. In fact, it's pretty fucking low on the list.

>>56659140
well okay, just don't skimp on the mobo or psu
just list the actual stuff you going to have in it and we can tell you if your fucking up, link does not work

>>56659140
not >>56659123, but don't do yourself the disservice man. Trust me. I've been building PCs for about 7 years now. Can't tell you the number of pre-built "gaming" PCs I've had come my way. Open the cheap ricer case to find a garbage tier PSU that blew up and took the shit it was plugged into with it. Or cheap no name $2 fans whose bearings long gave out and made the fan start squealing. Or the refurbished tier Hard drive they toss in there.

Not to mention the shit, loud CPU cooler, terrible motherboard, etc etc.

Just buy the stuff yourself. Watch 10 hours of YouTube videos if you truly feel that unprepared to build it yourself. Ask in /sqt/ and /pcbg/ if you have doubts. What will you do if the pre-built you get shits the bed? Take it to geek Squad? Why not build a vastly superior machine yourself that you can say you built, AND learn the ins and outs of computers as you do so. So when something does break or die, you have even an inkling of what the fuck is going on.

The only people I know who can get away with the whole "I'm lazy and don't want to fuck with PCs" is rich people who drop $5,000 on a top of the line alienware. Sure it's over priced like mad, but at least it has quality parts.

That pretty much amounts to common sense 2016 and gentoo.

Beyond that Malwarebytes free is great for doing occasional scans, but there are advantages to catching malware in real time.

Avira has solid detection rates and low system impact except when scanning. Avast is also light weight, has slightly lower detection rates but also slighly less false positives. Malwarebytes makes a good secondary AV since it's free version just does manual scans whenever you think to run it.

Bitdefender free is sort of the opposite of Malwarebytes. It has constant realtime protection, updates automatically and runs scans automatically, but not on demand. It's all about "set it and forget it". If you're cool with that it's super light weight with great detection rates. They also offer a separate free browser security extension called TrafficLight if you've got a boner for browser addons.

Pretty much all third party AVs fuck up your computer sometimes, but it's not too common, especially with Malwarebytes.

>>56659539
Probably interference. Apartments tend to have a lot of competing wifi signals, cordless devices and poorly shielded microwaves that fuck everything up. You can try scanning for the least used channels, but really your best bet is to try and use the 5ghz band as much as possible. On the off chance it is something in your AP you could try putting it in router mode and bridging you primary router to it.

>>56659994
I'd look to see if there's any firmware updates available for that router, and if not maybe consider a custom firmware. You could check the "use these servers" option and enter one manually and see if that helps. Or you could try going around entering DNS servers into all of the network connections in the house as as kind of a lazy stop-gap measure.

Bump for both of these

Probably not that stupid of a question but I have an internal hard drive (HGST brand) that I got from a laptop. I inserted it into a usb3 enclosure made by verbatim because I had to transfer data on it from an older drive I wanted to replace. So I transferred all my data, and encrypted it using bitlocker. Took it out of the enclosure and set it up inside my computer. Unfortunately I think the encryption did something to it and now it only works through the enclosure. It literally works perfectly in the enclosure, but there's no way to get it to work on the PC through SATA. It gets detected in the bios but Windows won't see it no matter what.

What the fuck has happened to this drive? How is it even possible that it doesn't work anymore through SATA?

it's most likely that due to the different interface it's connected to, it may be assuming the drive has been moved to another computer, which triggers different behaviour for security reasons
check the "Can I access my BitLocker-protected drive if I insert the hard disk into a different computer?" section

>>56661208
Oh, I didn't know that. Thank you.

>>56661249
The problem is that I already unencrypted it and formatted it, still only works through USB. Through SATA Windows doesn't even recognize it in the device manager.

I took a look at Raptr but it doesn't even seem to remotely compare, in fact it doesn't even seem to be a conventional client as such but rather a third party interface for various other IM services.

So *is* there even any viable comparable alternative to xfire at this point in time?

Actually I found out something. This piece of shit when connected to SATA, after I erased the MBR multiple times using the HGST tool, shows up in device manager as "VirtualDisk USB Device".

What the fuck is going on here? Is it possible that somehow the enclosure "locked" the drive through its firmware or something?

>>56661311
that's interesting

there are some lower-level locking features on modern hdds that may have been manipulated by bitlocker, but typically these are not accessible via sata>usb adapters

can you attach it via usb again and double check bitlockers is entirely disassociated with the drive?

>>56661398
that's a new one

>>56661405
It is. I even tried to encrypt it again and unencrypt it. Still nothing. It works perfectly through usb .

The virtualdisk usb adapter was the enclosure with no disk that I forgot attached to the usb port...

I'm trying to create a bot that can play Pokemon Red through Visual Boy Advance using Python. I'm not even sure where I should start, except that I know vba supposedly has a memdump feature and I should be able to use that as the basis for the reaction from the python player. Does anyone have any advice to help me get started? I really don't want my hand held the entire time, but a general point in the correct direction would be great. Thanks in advance.

my friend actually has that monitor. i really liked it, played a few games on it and it's like night and day compared to my 60hz monitors. once you go 144hz you won't ever want to use 60hz again

i'm using xubuntu. the file picker is kind of annoying to post images with posts on here because i can't see the pic, just a very small thumbnail. any way to change the view to make the thumbnails larger?

I upgraded from windows 7 to 10. I decided that I don't want 10 anymore. What would be the "expiration" date on 7 (like, new stuff stops working on it)?

Also which is better - 7 or 8.1?

>>56661979
not him, also really stupid question - but it's the stupid question thread after all

If I have the funds, should I go 144hz monitor? It won't have any drawbacks, right?

Like, I've heard that once people get used to 144hz, anything lower feels awkward. Like that dota pro who played on a 144hz at a LAN, then went home to his 60hz and had to go to the store to buy a new one, because it was unplayable

I already did "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt upgrade".
What else do I need to do?

>>56662020
well yea, that's the problem. you will get used to the 144hz and when you use 60hz it will feel choppy and shitty. it's kind of like the difference between an ssd and an hd. if you use an ssd on your comp for your OS for a while and then use a comp that uses an hd for an OS, you will get annoyed at how slow the HD is in comparison.

Are there laptops with 144hz displays?

>>56661398
>This piece of shit when connected to SATA, after I erased the MBR multiple times using the HGST tool, shows up in device manager as "VirtualDisk USB Device
Maybe Windows is remembering a UUID and not updating the device name for it? Possibly because the device doesn't have a name when it's connected by SATA.

I had a similar problem, with my hard drives.
every year around the end of october, my PC would suddenly stop detecting all my hard drives. I changed the PSU, mobo, hard drives countless times, tested them on other PCs and they all work fine. a few days later, after halloween was gone, everything worked again without a problem, until next year.

>>56662511

yeah thats well old. im sure itll break

The easiest way is to follow the steps here: https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/README.md#installation

do a
sudo apt-get remove youtube-dl
before you install their way, then if it happens again you can just upgrade it with
sudo youtube-dl -U

The thing is if you use ubuntu's package manager version you gotta wait for the packager to do something about it, its a relatively simple program so installing it manually isnt a pain.

anything over the stock won't be gauranteed, cpus are all slightly different, even though they share a model number

-- you might want to test it from a livecd or something, so you don't risk damaging your main filesystem(s) due to "unexpected shutdowns"

>>56662901
Livecd? Also I never understood how your main system could get damaged.. cant it repair itself?

>>56662914
provided you aren't running anything else, it's pretty unlikely you'll damage anything important, but "pretty unlikely" is still worse than "impossible"
damage on improper shutdowns is possible because disk writes are cached in ram to some extent, the state of the filesystem is only correct when it's unmounted correctly, such as during shutdown

this is what i came back to this morning for memtest. Not getting any errors but there is definitely something wrong with one of the sticks. Tried booting the computer with only one stick at a time and with one of them i wasn't getting a splash screen; tried it in a few slots but still no splash screen.Booting with both windows still says 8gb (only 3.9 usable). Guess i'll just have to replace it.

have you tried just putting them in different slots and switching them around? i've had to do that before with my comp to get the OS to see all my ram

i didnt try a ton of different configurations but i tried like 1/3 and 2/4 but it didnt help. The fact that it wouldn't boot with one of the sticks makes me think there really is just something wrong with it but then i'd think that it wouldn't show up at all to the os.

>>56663890
well i had pretty much the exact same problem, i just kept switching them around and eventually it worked and the OS saw all my ram, so just try it first before you buy anything

or am I using the wrong interpreter? just messing around with arithemetic atm. This is supposed to be division:

,>,[->+>++<<]>>[-<<+>>]<<[>[-<-]>>>>+<[-<<+>>]<<<]>>>>.

I don't think it's quite right but too much headfog atm to sort it

>>56666012
>numberical

What the hell is this thing?

I had a best buy gift card and I was looking to burn it on something. Long story short I got an 8TB external for $100. I want to torrent and seed on this.

I've been experimenting with it all day, but I can't seem to get it to work. I've heard of people using external drives to torrent from so there has to be a way right?

I tried just straight up loading the torrents from the external into Deluge/Qbittorrent but the download speeds hovered around 15k and we aint doin this.

I got the portable apps installer and installed the portable version of qbittorrent and utorrent (i'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume the bitcoin miner thing was a mistake). And I'll be fine for awhile but then I'll get "could not find the path".

My router nor new pc cant connect to the internet. My old pc can. Why?
I have rj-45 connector cable that goes to my flat from some box in the basement of my block probably.
By saying that my old pc can connect to the internet i mean that it automatically recieves assigned IPv4 adress, subnet mask, gateway, server dhcp and two DNS servers.(one is from my isp? 194.153.119.3 and other one is from google).
Now when i want to get to the internet i have to type in manually all those adresses.
If i rember correctly this happened after i fucked up by connecting lan ports on my router and another one that didn't had anything connected to it. It caused other people in the block to be assigned to my lan network and ISP had to shut me down.

Maybe a bottle / can holder for the fridge?

Is there a difference between "restarting" and "power cycling"?

are there any benefits to closing your laptop and using a keyboard/mouse and external monitors instead?

Is it possible to use Skia Graphics Engine instead of Xorg?

you put it in the back of your phone and you hold it like pic related
though that one is different you just put it your fingers there
and if you want to close it you just put it down

Just leaving this here so I can find it later :^)

Anyone use Freeans 9.10?
Does it have any issues?

I'm on an older version, but last time I tried to upgrade it had issues with installing plug-ins/starting plugins. On this version however if I restart, I have to delete and entirely resetup plex or it will fail to start. Having to remote a lot of partitions for it, redo folders in plex itself, and wait a year for it to download all its stuff again has grown old.

>>56666275
my god
thanks pal

>>56666420
upgrade to 9.10, i have sickrage/transmission/plex working fine on it. the only problem i have with 9.10 is the gui updater, i tried updating with it and it fucked up and i had to do some boot up stuff to fix it, so just don't use the updater in the gui. if i were you i'd just install everything fresh including all the plugins.

>>56666511
Okay good. Thank you. I know some didn't have my issue and some do, but even with battery backup its a matter of time before stuff reboots where I live.

I remember last time installing was awful. I can't remember if I had to do it by disc, usb, or actually install it in a VM then plug it in to the computer. I remember it being a pain.

>>56666277
It's getting close

>>56666619
i just burned it to a dvd. i tried installing it by burning freenas to a usb but it just wouldn't work for some reason

freenas is kind of a pain sometimes but once it's up and running it's great

>>56666073
You're telling the torrent client, running on your PC, to save to the external drive, which has been formatted with a filesystem, and it isn't working?

Tried the ram in my other computer, wouldnt even boot if they were both in (only booted when the bad one was taken out) so it seems like it just died. There were some times when i'd plug a usb device into the front and the computer would crash, i think it was due to static electricity so it must have killed a stick at some point.

>>56666687
Yes that appears to be case. Doesn't matter if I run the app straight from my PC Windows (7 or 10 both) or if I install a portable version on the external and launch it from there.

I got an 8TB external.

I want to use it and sort of a dedicated torrent thing.

At first I tried installing a portable version of qbittorent and utorrent, so I could keep the installation and everthing just on the drive. It will download fine for a few minutes, but then it will stop and the data will become corrupted, but sometimes it isn't eventhough it says it is.

So I figured I'd just treat it as a drive and tried regular Qbittorent and Deluge installed to my desktop machine, and just set the external as the download directory. It didn't work either.

Are Ubuntu phones garbage?

You're trying to use a hard drive as a standalone computer when that's not what it is?

What happens if you copy a large file to it?

>>56666925
yea that sounds like the external drive is fucked up

copy a large file to it and put your ear to it, is it making any weird clicking noises or anything?

>>56666949
I don't think they even make ubuntu phones anymore.
