I moved from Canada to Thailand and I'm trying to use a Thai sim card on my phone, but I am having troubles.

Right now the Thai sim card is network locked, and I don't know how to unlock it. I read that I needed to call my previous ISP and get the code from them. I gave them my IEMI code that I got a few days ago and they gave me a code to use, and it didn't work.

I also just tried to get my IEMI code again and I'm getting a brand new error to have fun with. It says "Connection problem or invalid MMI code" when i canl *#60# now.

Please help me, I've already racked up $100 in bills here and this whole process has been a nightmare.

I've got an old HP Netbook sitting around, and want to install a lighter OS on it than the Windows 10 that it automatically updated to the first time I plugged it in. I'd ideally like to give it to my mom for use on Facebook and maybe Netflix.

Got any recommendations for a distro? Specs are not great. 1.66GHZ Atom, 1 GB Ram. I would just like something light for mobile web browsing use and maybe netflix. Something easy for her to figure out that won't require any maintenance on my part. Something not-Windows so I never have to clean it for malware like I do her XP-era desktop whenever I come to visit.

What are signs a power supply is going out?

My computer now doesn't turn on unless I hit the power button, wait for it to do some weird half boot and shut back off. And before it turns back on and off again I hit the switch on the back wait 5-10 seconds and turn it back on then when I hit the power button it fires back up as normal.

It's the weirdest fucking thing.

Alright I just updated Windows 10 and I'm having a few annoyances

First, is there any way to get rid of cortana and get the usual search box back? When it just says 'search the web and windows'

Second, is there any way to move or get rid of the notification icon on the far right? It used to be to the left of the date and time, not having the time in the corner is really pissing me off.

Third, you know how in Windows explorer you resize your icons in a library and then when you enter a folder all the icons are that size? That isn't happening. I have to have to resize them for each goddamn folder, what the fuck?

Is it possible to do a clean install of a linux distro on a system that is already in a windows/linux dual boot configuration, such that the windows partitions remain untouched whereas the existing linux partitions are deleted, manually re-partitioned, and used for installing the new linux distro?

I set up the dual boot config and did the partitioning manually some years ago and I no longer remember how / why I did the partitions, thankfully I didn't fuck up my windows install at the time but I do remember messing up the MBR and having to use a live GRUB rescue USB, everything worked fine after that up until now that I want to use a different linux distro and have no idea how to go about it without fucking something up.

Anyone mind doing a quick TL;DR: on how to make this happen safely, or point me to intermediate-friendly resource where I can read up on it?

>>56780141
>>56780173

kek. Verizon has had Sim cards for years. That's why that pick exists. It's not enough on it's own to transfer your number, unlike strait up GSM, but it is a required component thanks to 4g. The real issue here is what network the phone was made for and whether it came unlocked.

Why do I get an error of invalid initializer when I type this?

int c[10] = ( 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 );

It's from C

>>56780237
To piggy back off of your issue, the windows partition manager is absolute shit, I've got about 200 free gigs on the drive I want to shrink but it won't let me. Any idea why?

>>56780237
Presumably Grub is in charge of choosing between the OSes, and since linux is the last thing to be installed on your system, it will simply replace the old copy of grub with a new one, so from your point of view it's pretty much automatic, unless something goes wrong, then you get out the live disk like before.

>>56780332
It's just hella picky about moving file fragments around. Just install easeUS partition manager.

Is windows 10 actually bad?

Is it worth buying a second SSD for W7 in addition to one with W10 to dual boot?

>>56780393
Thanks, anon-san.

>>56780414
Why the hell would you buy a whole second drive instead of just partitioning the first one?

>>56780448
Maybe this has changed with Windows 10, but doesn't Windows have issues if it's not installed on the partition closest to the beginning of the disk? I think this is why people who want to dual boot Windows and Linux are instructed to install Windows first.

>>56780448
Or I could do that, it doesn't matter

just is it worth having both W7 and W10 to avoid using W10 when I don't have to, or is 10 not actually that terrible?

Not so much concerned abou the telemetry/spying stuff so much as just the UI/technical issues/having less control over stuff then on 7

Seagate's got a 4tb RAID 0 external drive for kinda cheap

should I get it? Or is RAID too risky for a backup drive?

>>56780441
Also, I'm not sure if this is a C++-only thing, but it should be sufficient to type

int c[10] = {0};

>>56780351
Lemme see if I got it right:

>boot the new distro live USB
>select manual partitioning
>wipe the extended partition where /, /home, and swap are currently nested
>create a new extended partition with the new /, /home, and swap
>steer clear of the windows partitions
>proceed to install new distro

That about right?

Also, for some reason the boot flag is currently set to the first windows partition after the recovery partition, but GRUB is indeed in charge of OS selection after the BIOS screen, does that make any sense, and if not which partition should I flag as boot this time around?

>>56780495
RAID 0 is for speed and shouldn't be used for backups. I assume it has two 4TB disks inside? If one of those fails, you're fucked.

>>56780485
People install windows first because Grub2 is better at cross OS support than windows boot loader, and whatever gets installed last is in charge of boot.

>>56780487
Everybody has their own opinion on whether 10 is great or terrible. It sounds like you would be happy only installing one, and if you don't need Dx12 I would make that win7 for now.

I've made some progress, it now gives 5 beeps. Yes the fans are spinning at max. 5 beeps apperantly means CMOS battery. It is a CR2032 battery, I've tried replacing it with a CR2025 but sadly that doesn't do it. I've also done a CMOS reset, by using the jumper. But it still gives 5 beeps. It won't go into BIOS.

So logical step would be buying a CR2032 battery right? I'm asking this because I've read that it should be possible to get into the BIOS without the battery.

This question may make me sound like a dribling retard but I don't understand how resources in games are allocated.


FOR EXAMPLE

Say I have a 1070 and I cap it at 60 fps through various options as jumping from 60-100 is as distracting to me as 30-60, is that wasting its potential?

Does this limiting then allow it to allocate its power elsewhere e.g. physics, lighting or textures?

>>56781510
Your monitor is 99.999999% 60hz, vsync+triple buffering is all you need.
>performance
No

>>56781628
Not sure what you mean by " > performance"

Implying it won't be able to allocate performance elsewhere?

it is 60hz, but if I get a higher one and this can't meet the constant framerate needed won't it feel as shitty?

>>56781723
You're going to be rendering despite this settings, this setting actively caps its self for better fps, so it isnt jittery bouncing from 10-100+ fps.

>as shitty

So I want to get into private trackers, and I want to get a seedbox to seed as much as possible for dat ratio, since when I tried to seed from my own connection I couldn't keep up a ratio at all.

I'm trying to find why this C program is getting a seg fault, and I've tracked it down with printf to this line:

>>56782056
Is there actually any memory allocated at that pointer address? If you using an IDE there is a probably a built in a debugger which you can run which'll allow you to get an idea of what is going on faster than just using printf statements, and if you aren't using an idea you could run it with gdb (cgdb might be a bit easier to use)

If foo(bar) returns -1 if it encounters an error, is it faster to check

if (foo(bar) < 0) ...

or

if (foo(bar) == -1) ...

don't have money for another monitor just to go up frequency, live in the UK and have £360, what card?

>>56782703
Why get a new card at 1080p?

>>56781809
The computer itself still has to do the actual rendering. The monitor can only display what it is ultimately given in the first place. It is just the final bottleneck.

>Well, the real final bottleneck is you. That is why the 30fps retard train still exists. So many special snowflakes with mutant eyes that cannot tell the difference. That said, as long as you are not genetically inferior, your eyes should not play a factor.

How would I write something in C that looks through a row or column of a 2D array representing a chess board, and verifies that there are no pieces in between a rook and it's destination?

Second.

First is USB 2. "Up to 480 Mb/s" is only the theoretical speed limit of USB 2 itself. It does not say anything about the flash memory's read or write speed. Also 480 Mb/s is in megaBITS per second, or 60 MB/s. Realistically USB 2 will go up to about 25-30 MB/s if the device can keep up.

Nothing wrong with the 3rd one technically, but the design is WTF. It's like a flat key thing but the butt end looks very not flat.

More amps is always FINE. Go with 4.62 or more. The only downside of a higher amperage charger is it's larger and weighs more than the lower amp model.

>>56782729
I'm meaning wouldn't inconsistency feel as weird?

Hence why I like the idea of locking a 1070 to 60 fps as it should be able to meet it. Unless in an undemanding game where it could easily get 100+.

Should I get a 1070 again? I made enough profit off it to easily get another.

The *slot* will fit it. Both use PCIe 16x slots. However I see the 550ti card itself is shorter than the 780, so there are 2 possible problems you can run into:
- Dickhead motherboard designers put some heatsink or plug in the way or long cards. Look at the board and if there's anything tall directly behind your GPU, you might have problems.
- Your case doesn't fit a card that long. If it's a normal desktop case it'll be fine. If it's some special compact case it may not.

Hi everyone.

I recently got my RX 480 in the mail and I've noticed it's got a rather strange idle temperature.

I've got all the drivers installed, played some games yesterday, does it all well and dandy. But when I'm doing nothing, or when I'm doing very minimal stuff (i.e. Skype (not even video calliing), Youtube videos, etc.), the temperature is in the high almost constantly above 53 degrees celsius. How can I make this thing run cooler? Is this just an AMD card thing? Is this a side-effect of not going Nvidia?

Also I've noticed, since coming to this thread, the clock is fluctuating between 400mhz and 800mhz. Before opening Chrome, it was at a constant 300mhz.

Any help is appreciated.

I'm looking for a program that I saw discussed here a while back in a thread about file organizing with an OP pic like this.

I think it was named Hydra or something like that, and I think it was Windows-only. Someone described it as basically being a booru on your local machine, with extensive tagging and searching capabilities.

Anyone able to point me to where I can find it? Searching for Hydra doesn't give me much besides comic books and a ruby library. I checked the /g/ wiki and didn't see it mentioned there either.

Sounds fucked. You want to un-update, but you can't open the Settings app, where you'd usually do it, directly from Task Manager. So you have to get there a different way.
1. Task Manager, File->Run new task, type in "control" and hit OK. Control Panel should open.
2. In the search box, type "uninstall". The results should include "Programs and Features". Click that.
3. Click "View installed updates" in the left column.
From there you should be able to remove some recent updates and see if that helps you.

If that still doesn't fix it, System Restore to a time when it worked.
1. Task Manager, File->Run new task, systempropertiesadvanced. That will open the old System Properties dialog.
2. Click the System Protection tab.
3. Click the System Restore button.

Wires still emit non-idolizing radiation. The coating on them blocks out most of it, but there is always some there as that is just how electricity works. Besides, wireless communications are mostly either radio (as is the case of a router) or microwave (as in the case in communications). The former is completely save as they are everywhere and the latter is only dangerous if you are right next to the source for a very, very long time (decades). Say the word "potato." There. You just emitted radio waves much more dangerous than your router.

How does that hurt you? You still have the same software. It's clearly not devalued since it does the same as it always did, and buying it again would cost the same. And unlike him, you have that warm fuzzy feeling that you supported the large company that made the software.

Same as your phone is no less valuable if some Tyrone someplace steals one of the same model.

>>56783235
yes amd gpus can even stand 90+°C and Idle mode only goes to up 60°C so nothing to fear over lifetime. Also Amd gets hoter/draws more power because the hardware is much more complex than nvdias.
GCN is a monster (sadly so complex that writing drivers for it is a nightmare, on average GCN is only around 70% used even on the best optimised games, thats why amd ages so good they just have that much grow room but they are a nightmare to write drivers for, also one of the reasons they are so good at dx12(less driver programing))

nobody gives a fuck about a few pirated games/software, really nobody, even if he downloads like 200games it doesn´t matter.
If he would distribute said pirated software on a large scale and I mean large like uploading on forums AND makes money out of it, not he gives it to friends. The moment he makes LARGE amounts of cash with pirated stuff you "could" fuck him but anything other is just to small for anybody giving a fuck so you are out of luck

Only if he operates on a commercial scale matters and he doesn´t fullfill that with just downloading it, he needs to make cash(not 10$ like 5k+) for anybody starting to give a fuck about it.

i've got this Acer laptop, not sure how old it is, about 2 years maybe.

it runs real hot, i looked at speccy and tried running Age of Empires on it to test it, and it shoots up to like 140 degrees celcius and konks out soon after.

idling, it can sit anywhere from 80 to 90 degrees celcius. this thing is going to fucking fry itself, how can i salvage it? i've tried unclogging vents with dust, not much noticeable difference.

>yes its an AyyMD housefire

>>56784977
Yes, trowing another 4GB stick will make it run photoshop better.
Also a SSD would make it faster, you have a 300GB HDD anyway.

>>56784990
>>56784977
Also you might want to repaste that computer eventually and clean the dust since i assume its a HP Pavilion.

>>56784977
>>56784842
on the one hand, nobody knows everything from the start

on the other, its lulworthy that you wonder why you're getting shit performance from 4gb of ram and a pentium

>>56784961
AMD?

Repaste the fucker.

>>56784990
okay thanks. im not about to spend on an SSD but i will spend on ram. i think its due for a reformat though so ill try that first

shitcan it and get a thinkpad
never by Acer again

soo this might sound particularly stupid but I have never synced my phone with google because of that part where it says "sync contacts" because I have a bunch of social media accounts dedicated purely to creeping on hot chicks and I don't want contacts on my phone getting linked to these shits, or anything of that sort.
But I need the other features of syncing my phone with google, and the contacts are part of a package deal.
Can someone either quel or confirm my fears, what does google contact syncing do exactly

>>56785017
wut i know its getting shit performace dingus. thats why im asking what the best option is to fix it. most of the time it runs just fine. its 'other' percent of the time that makes it unbearable so im trying to figure out how to eliminate that

>>56785057
Not him but the only good quality Acer product i have used are the 2-1 tablets, 2 years and the battery still lasts 8 hours and trough miracles the eMMC still hasn't fucked up.

It also can boot from the keyboard HDD.

Hoping I'm not too late, but was wondering if anyone could give me some quick tips on probably a stupid question.

I got a raspberry pi 3, and I currently use my logitech wireless keyboard to type commands. Thing is, I was wondering if there was some way I could "link" my laptop keyboard to that logitech receiver inside the pi, so that I could type on my laptop and whatever commands I put, show up on the raspberry pi which is connected to my TV. I use the raspberry pi for just an emulator to play with my friends, and having to drag around a large, keyboard rather than my laptop is annoying.

Thanks in advance!

2TB USB flash drives?

Is there a good site to buy laptop replacement screens? It's an older laptop but it would be nice to have again.
I have been thinking of upgrading to a new laptop as well any recommendations?

External HDD enclosure or NAS/DIY-NAS?

>>56785085
Adding more ram wont fix it, but will help a lot since IIRC photoshop is really ram heavy.

Your CPU is not that bad since all you do is photoshop.

>>56785118
>I have been thinking of upgrading to a new laptop as well any recommendations?
Knowing what you use it for and budget would be a good start.

repaste you say?

is it as easy on a laptop as with a desktop? i've never actually popped open a laptop before.

>>56785147
>>56785147
No.

In desktop its remove HSF and thats it.

In laptop is
Remove HDD and others>Remove safety screws>Remove keyboard screws>Remove case> unscrew HSF>Probably move the cooper plate>Repaste>Put everything together again

Only to get 20°C less.

>>56785137
Budget probably under 1000, I wouldn't want to waste too much, I have a desktop already for gaming but I'm leaving for the Navy so i'd need something to have on a ship to watch movies, light gaming (RTS or some rpgs), maybe work.

>How do i know they are safe/real?
Check SHA-1 of the files.

Is there any good, free anti-virus software?
I accidentally a virus while trying to download a mod for SimCity 4. I deleted every associated program and file I could find and it seems to be gone. Also ran Security Essentials and it didn't find anything. Then I did a system restore. Still worried about it though.

>>56785369
Malwarebytes + Adwcleaner are the best combo you can get currently.

>>56785387
Thanks. Hopefully I don't just download another virus.

>>56785411
Do you feel something shady running?
If those 2 dont find anything then you are safe, run JRT and Avast just to be safe if you wanna go full paranoid.

But first:
1.Check your Startup list (msconfig or trough CCleaner).
2.Check recourse monitor network and HDD section for something weird running.

>>56783586
If you can access the drive directly with a computer, you can use Testdisk to look for the deleted files. They'll most likely appear in the original or new directory, in red to indicate they're deleted. You can then use the C key to copy them out to another drive. Then when you're done using Testdisk, copy them back.

Of course if the data that used to be those files has been (partially) overwritten, the files are (partially) lost.

>>56785460
>something shady running
Processor was running at 26% which is high for my setup.
>But first:

Had done that aleady and found something that was related to the shit I had just downloaded.
2.Check recourse monitor network and HDD section for something weird running
Did that. I'm not a computer wiz but I found a couple sketchy things.

I just ran adwcleaner and it found this shit

Think I'm good now. Thanks again. First time I've had a virus in a long ass time.

>>56785561
Run Malwarebytes now.

So, I'm working on a computer for someone and I turn it on and the fans spin on the PSU except for the PSU fan itself. Should I replace the PSU?

Is there any phone app or computer mic software that does noise rejection like Amazon Echo? Or would I need an actual hardware array like Echo does?

Basically I need to be able to take listenable voice recordings in a noisy environment.

Is there and easy way to switch video cards without manually switching them around? I have a GTX 980 and a spare 960. My goal is to run a Windows XP VM in Windows 10 so I can make sure I can still play older games that may have compatibility issues on newer operating systems. So I keep my 980 in the x16 slot, and my 960 in my x8 slot.

The reason I need the 960 is that Nvidia doesn't have XP drivers for the 980, however it DOES have drivers for the 960. So my goal is to use my 980 for general gaming and switch to the 960 for virtualbox. However simply plugging in the hdmi to the 960 doesn't work, and from Nvidia control panel there doesn't appear to be an option to simply "switch" the active GPU. GPU passthrough doesn't seem to be an option, it only works in Linux, at least on virtualbox. I don't want to have to manually switch out the GPU just to play the odd XP game, so is there another way?

Can anyone recommend me a laptop that is not autistic? Currently have a T430 and sick of the thinkpad meme. I use it for my business and the battery life is horrible compared to other people I work with that have more modern laptops. Want something that looks/feels good, has a dock available for it, and powerful. Not a gaymer, integrated graphics are fine.

>If those 2 dont find anything then you are safe

You mean there's a fairly good chance the malware was removed. Once you've been infected, you can never be 100% sure without wiping the system. That's not how AVs work.

Internet goes out every couple minutes now when it used to go out only every couple of hours. What do?

I tried unplugging the modem and router and leaving it off for like 20-30 minutes in case something was overheating, but it still goes out. It went out while I was typing this.

Renting an Ubee ddm352 modem for about 2 years now and the router is a D-Link DIR-615 from like 2010/2011, maybe older.

If I delete my gmail account, can someone claim it after a certain period of time or is it permanently unavailable?

Get a new modem, and if that doesn't work, a new ISP.

What are the best ways to protect my computer and my phone from being stolen and the data on it accessed? I just want to prepare for something like that.

Here's the things I'm wondering
Does encryption make my computer or phone slower?
I have CM13 on my phone and Win10 on my computer.

Never mind, I found out how to get 3d acceleration running smoothly in VirtualBox. Everything runs great but for some reason the Steam client runs like trash. Going to try to see if any games actually run.

What can I do with a shitty Atom N270 netbook?

>>56787259

>3d acceleration

back when i was multiboxing, you had to use VMWare because virtualbox had 0 3d support at the time lmao

Yeah, they've had 3d support for a while, which you need to fully enable aero on windows 7. I just find it kind of glitchy so I never run it personally.

What's a good speed 256Gb usb stick? I'll mainly use it to listen to music in my xar, but I don't want to wait one hour to move some files around

>>56787559
i5-6600k and Windows 10 running and XP host. Everything runs faster in 3d accelerated mode but for some reason Steam just won't work properly, even though it did before when I wasn't using 3d mode. I tried some older games like Doom and Duke 3d, they worked fine in DOSBox, the Doom sourceport I used didn't work at all though but it probably just doesn't support XP. Going to try some heavy hitters tomorrow, I have Far Cry, Half Life 2 and Doom 3 lined up.

>>56787738
I meant which version of windows 10? And make sure you have vt-d turned on in bios.

Google gives inconsistent answers. Does facebook track who views your profile and if so, is there a way to see that information?

Yes and no.

>>56788064
Facebook tracks EVERYTHING. They don't share with people who aren't companies.
