Does Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB get less frequent updates than Windows 10 Pro ?
Debating on whether to swap out Pro for Enterprise LTSB on my laptop because updates take for fucking ever to install and I don't want it asking to install updates every other week when I need to use my laptop for the next half hour.

Guys I need help with overclocking
I have a 4770k with a H100i GTX(installed just now).

I'm at 4.2ghz at 1.2 volts and my Prime95 temps is at 90c, which I think should be closer to 80c.
I set the profile in Corsair Link to "Perfromance"

I have the fans set to pull intake, should I try flipping it to exhaust?

Sounds like you have a case of too much thermal paste.
Flipping the fans won't make much of a difference, but try reapplying your thermal paste.

>>56864835
I see. It's getting late, I'll probably try using less paste tomorrow.

So can you get busted by people policing the IP list of a torrent site if you live in another country?

I guess I don't know a non-retarded way to ask, so I'll be blunt; If I live in the US, and ban all US peers from my torrent peer lists, does that mean I'm safe?

>>56864848
Do not that it could also be too little thermal paste, though. But with temps over 90 degrees Celsius, I'd think too much is more likely.
Too much, and it acts like an insulator. Too little and your CPU block won't make proper contact with your CPU's IHS.

What you want to see when you take the block off is a nice thin, even layer of thermal paste without air bubbles.

>>56864862

How bad is it to change a native 1920x1200 to be 1920x1080 in resolution settings or should I keep it 1920x1200 and live with black bars ?

>>56864951
Pretty sure it's only possible in specific cases, hence why a full divide operation is needed in the general case.

If you want modulo by a power of 2, you and the number by that minus 1. So, x modulo 8 is x&7.

Should still work, but if you can, getting them on the same circuit will generally give better speeds. If you have three phase or split phase mains, try to use the same phase.

>>56865623
If you put it in 1920x1080 you will still have black bars. If you set the monitor to stretch, you will have nonsquare pixels, which will make circles look stretched and faces too long. And since it's stretched you lose all the sharpness you expect from an LCD.

Just live with the black bars. If you had a 1920x1080 of the same width, it would be the same size as the picture you're getting, and the black bars would be bezel and empty space. You have that same size, plus a bit of extra you can make use of for programming, browsing and many games.

>>56865748
For VMware: Select "Other Linux 3.x kernel (64 bit)" or whatever as the OS, depending if it's 32 or 64 bit. "Other 64 bit" should work too. Tell it you'll install the OS later instead of showing it an ISO. This opts out of the "easy install" nonsense that is failing to detect your distro.

When you're done setting up the VM, edit its CD drive. Put your ISO in it and check "connect at startup". Boot your VM, and from there it should be similar to installing it on a real computer.

You don't have VT-x turned on. Get on your BIOS and enable it.

>>56866220

Look for messages at boot, when it shows the OEM logo, like "press F1 for setup" or "press enter to interrupt normal startup". Do what it says and you'll either get into a text based setup utility or a menu of things that includes setup. Get to setup and use arrows (or mouse if your system is fancy) to navigate. Look for an option labeled VT-x or virtualization. Switch it to enabled, then right arrow over to exit, save changes and exit. Then it'll boot up and you should have VT-x on.

Or, download the 32 bit version, tell VMware it's 32 bit, and use it without VT-x enabled. It might perform slower by a small amount, but it'll work.

I see my surgeon next week.
Reclining with my feet up is the most comfortable position for me. I need a chair that has wheels and reclines, just need a place to start.

>>56866243
Probably because 4chan uses Cloudflare. Cloudflare uses the same IPs to proxy through to many sites, so if your ISP blocked the IP you access 4chan through, it would block many other sites. So they block looking up "4chan.org" in their DNS. Therefore you can bypass by using another DNS like 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4.

But many porn sites don't use Cloudflare, and they're at an IP that hosts nothing else. So your ISP can simply block all access to that IP. Then even if you change DNS, it will not help you.

I did some tests on a new hard drive in a previous thread after running into a long chain of problems (Lockups, downloads failing, sudden restarts, etc.) and results indicated that the HDD was failing. (It's possible that I may have just bought a faulty hard drive. It can happen. Pic related.)

But I was wondering if was possible that it could have just been a faulty SATA cable instead that was causing the problems? I spent so much money recently trying to replace everything only to run into the same problems over and over again.

If you have trouble getting into your bios, you might have to disable secure boot from windows 8/10. You might also need to look up your mobo or pc manual for specific instructions.

>>56866796
Skype has been 'botnet' for a long ass time. Expect every call/message sent through skype to be recorded permanently, and possibly watched by some seedy agent out there. But if you're not doing anything illegal, you just have to worry about the ickyness of knowing inmate shit might be watched. They've had problems with that, but it's not skype exclusively. Microsoft will also mine the fuck out of your information, and no, there's really no way to control that.

>>56866811
Did you have the problems before aniversary? You could always do a clean install and/or disable windows update.

>>56867008
>what parts can I recycle

The case, and maybe some of the drives, but I wouldn't really use the drives even if you had an IDE adapter. You've basically got something less capable than a raspberry pie that consumes several times the power. Stick linux or xp on it and play around, but mostly old systems are just used for legacy programs/gaming.

>>56867178
Doubt it's the cable, but it doesn't take much to check. Did you have problems before replacing the drive?

What's a good usb 3 flash drive? I need one with decent write speed.

Ok /g/ I got a problem.

I have been playing this game since 2011 and logged quite a few hours in it. However the game doesn't keep exactly how many I played. It does keep a log file every time you play the game which tracks when you booted it up and closed it out. These log files also contain timestamps. I'm wondering if it is possible to math it out and figure how much time I have in the game.

I can't do it manually because there is around 1800+ files.

Any solutions?

Does anybody have a source for or more info on this?

>Doubt it's the cable, but it doesn't take much to check. Did you have problems before replacing the drive?

Yes, same problems as described in my previous post. I replaced the drive and it was fine for a while and soon enough the problems came back again. (At least I could actually download files properly with the new drive. But that was the only improvement)

I just always had this impression that SATA cables never fail. But now I'm suspecting that it was a faulty HDD AND a faulty SATA cable that was causing issues. You won't believe all the shit I've had to go through over the past month.

>>56867292
I doubt it's both. Actually, if you haven't been cloning your OS, I'm starting to think you might have a motherboard issue, or possibly a problem with your PSU if you chalk the downloads thing up to something else.

>>56867345
Eventually maybe, but probably not on a timeline that makes it beneficial to keep it.

>>56867363

I've already replaced the motherboard and GPU, followed by HDD in that order. Replacing the HDD has mitigated problems regarding lockups, sudden restarts and download problems (Which another anon has pointed out was an IO issue in a previous thread) until they started up again.

Just bought a Netgear GS208 it says the Bandwidth is 16Gbps and the forwarding rate is 1000Mbps. So if I connect the switch through a 10Gbps cable and connect everything else with 1Gbps cables will everything be able to DL/UL at 1Gbps within the network or will it be bottle necked to the forwarding rate?

>>56867489
Wow, that's a rough line of things to replace. Well, I'd grab a sata cable from a dvd drive or another computer and try with it just in case. But if that's OK and you did reinstall your OS from scratch when you got the new drive, then it looks like we've settled on PSU by process of elimination.

>>56867584

I've replaced the SATA cable and yes I did install a fresh OS with the new drive. I have had a few weird random shutoffs whilst I was afk and a couple of sudden restarts, but I thought that was due to me installing drivers. (I made sure they were compatible, and I told the installer that I would restart the PC later) Turning on the PC has been weird as well: Doesn't boot straight away, fan spins a bit and stops several times, etc.

Fuck man. I just want a working PC again. I'm sure I didn't even need to replace all those components either.

Does it serve a real purpose? I heard that you should wear one of these when working with high-cost hardware.
I know that they are used by professionals and in industry workplaces, but does the consumer variant (in pic with crocodile clip) work as well, or is it just a ripoff?

Smplayer or Mpv?

>>56867704
They work, but as a consumer you're not handling enough equipment to really be worth the cost. Just touch a grounded object, should be fine.

i've been trying out various vnc servers but they dont seem to be as quick and responsive as teamviewer.

from what i can understand teamviewer is more efficient since it only updates changes to the screen instead of constantly streaming everything.

are there any alternatives out there that do the same thing? preferably ones that also ran on linux.

>>56867497
1Gbps=1000Mbps. If your router and network cards are also gigabit, and your ethernet cables are cat 5e or above, then your whole wired network will be gigabit. Forget the 16Gbps thing.

>>56867686
No, I doubt you had more than one physical problem. But sometimes narrowing it down can be a huge PITA. If you've replaced the drive, cable, mobo and os, then the only thing left that could be affecting your drive test results is the PSU, although that would still be an unusual thing to cause that particular problem. If those were the only symptoms, I would wait and see if you really are still experiencing lockups/shutdowns, but the fan/bootup issue isn't a great sign. I don't suppose you have a PSU you could borrow from another PC?

My CPU fan has been acting weird lately, when I start my computer it runs normally, but during the course of an hour or two it slows down (once it even "reached" 0RPM, although the fan was still running irl). Also, the CPU temperature sometimes reaches 100°C, but when I touch the case (near the region where the CPU socket is located) it doesn't feel very hot (and I have never experimented with overclocking before, so I suppose the CPU would shut down before reaching such a high temperature, right?)

I am starting to wonder whether the problem lies not in my CPU fan, but on the BIOS/software I am using to measure/read the cou fan speed/cpu core temperature
would such a thing even be possible? How could I find out for sure? And how could I fix it?

Oh, and I started to have problems with my CPU fan a while after one of the Windows 10 updates, could that be somehow related?

>If those were the only symptoms, I would wait and see if you really are still experiencing lockups/shutdowns, but the fan/bootup issue isn't a great sign. I don't suppose you have a PSU you could borrow from another PC?

No... I don't... The drive test results were from before I replaced the HDD + SATA (After I had replaced the mobo and GPU). I'll give it some time and maybe resinstall the OS again just to be sure. But I REALLY don't want to place another order with Overclockers for a PSU. All my PC component deliveries have been sent consecutively one after the other and were delivered by the same delivery guy and I don't want him to think I'm some weird loser or something... >_<

After the latest update I got yesterday, my laptop went retarded.
A bunch of programs quit working, and I'm getting windows popups saying they couldn't start or I'm missing DLL files.
I tried SFC and DISM - neither scan can complete.
I tried reinstalling the system files with the Media Creation Tool, but it can't even load.
I tried doing a full reset - can't complete either.
My hard drives are reading that they're still in good health, I ran chkdsk for like 3 fuckin' hours and it ultimately did nothing.

Is wiping and reinstalling from scratch my next option or am I forgetting anything?

>>56867889
FWIW the fedex man probably doesn't think shit about you. Loads of people buy their parts individually as they go on sale. It's trivially easy to memtest your ram, but I highly doubt memory/cpu have anything to do with this. I would have considered a PSU issue long before replacing the GPU. Also I'd shop around for your parts

I used both Chrome and Firefox on Samsung 840 (non-Pro) SSD for like 4 years. It's still alive and well. Modern SSDs are even more reliable.

Is it worth sacrificing portability for better display if commuting for 2 hours twice a day? Currently debating whether to get a 14" laptop with TN (Acer) vs a 15.6" IPS (Asus). Assuming both have the same specs.

Does Ubuntu leave as much file history as Windows? In Windows traces of every program, document, picture and video you've opened are left behind forcing you to use ccleaner. Is ccleaner type cleaning necessary in Ubuntu?

Is there any way to get rid of it permanently? I'm tired of it taking up 6+ gbs on my ssd

why do people "lie" on torrent comment sections? or are they just legitimately retarded and don't know how to install stuff / don't allow it in anti virus, etc.

like some comments are so wrong that it's apparent that they have not even downloaded the torrent and are just talking out of their asses ("torrent has only .exe and no crack" when there obviously is one). even when the uploader is a verified VIP or whatever.

it's annoying having to explain it to my roommate that it does not contain a virus and is actually safe.

how is that not a bug?

>>56870310
It isn't really a bug because the software isn't really being designed for testing overclocked systems. The reason that this problem exists is because usually Intel CPUs will downclock when receiving an AVX instruction set. This doesn't work properly with overclocked CPUs, though, so they overheat.

I wouldn't invest a lot of money now in a laptop you want to be powerful in a few years from now. If you spend most of your time at home, pouring the lion's share of your resources into a desktop is probably a good idea. Only you can decide how important portability/upgradablility is to you.

>>56871002
It's subjective, but I think most people wouldn't find 4k worth it on a 15.6 screen, and it will put a lot of pressure on your GPU and battery. But the build quality looks good though.

>>56871065
In general none. Older revisions of HDMI have certain limitations, but I doubt a monitor that old would have high enough requirements to saturate any hdmi spec anyway.

Thanks man for the advice about pouring resources into a desktop. I'll do that.

The only problem I'm having really is the budget seems to creep more and more to a point where is probably more powerful than I need it to be. Same with monitors, ever since I've looked at ultra wide 1440p monitors, anything less just seems much worse but the downside of this is the extra cost and also extra cost for the hardware to support it.

Well, if 1440p is your line in the sand, then you'll want the RX 480 for good graphics or the 1070 if you're more inclined to push settings, which it sounds like you aren't. You can get 1440 monitors for under $300. That mostly narrows down the decision making to the processor. I wouldn't go lower than an i5, going up to an i7 depends on what you want, but processors tend to stay crispy for a long time, so you might not want to skimp there.

>>56871748
Well that's the literal cheapest. Dell core 2 duos are just the defacto minimal when you need a cheap laptop for simple browsing. They tend to be sturdy and long lasting.

It depends on how determined you are to not reinstall anything. Clean installing windows to the SSD would probably be the easiest if you don't mind reinstalling your programs. You could also copy your files to an external drive, temporarily delete the originals, and clone your OS using Macrium reflect. Then you'd just make a new partition on your old HDD and copy everything back. If you wanted to keep your old install without using an external drive, you'd probably need to use a paid program like acronis.

Just installed nightly build of firefox because memes. Everything's working properly except the theme I use is still listed as incompatible even though I turned compatibility checking off. What did I fuck up?

So I work 9-10 hours a day doing C++ development, I don't dislike it, but I don't think I enjoy it as much as most people at my company do considering some do nothing but work all day. I don't do that much during my spare time, probably to wind down from work, but I feel like it is a waste considering so many people work on side projects or contribute to open source projects during their spare time. How do you all motivate yourselves to do something productive during your spare time, is it just that drive to learn new things or do you force yourselves just to keep yourself from stagnating in your field?

It probably just isn't compatible yet. Firefox made a big jump with E10, and they're on the verge of phasing out certain standards they've been using in their addons for years. When that happens, loads of pluggins are going to have to be rewritten to work with newer versions of firefox at all. Running nightly means you're getting features that pluggin developers haven't had much time to accommodate.

Also, making the costs column nullable is explicitly prohibited.

Honestly, doing 40 hours a week of code, and then coding in your spare time sounds like a great way to get burnt out as fuck. I mean yes, there are people who really dig that sort of thing, but if you don't, why not try stretching your mind in another way or just enjoying your free time until you find something that inspires you? Maybe start trying out skills for a career change down the road. How many people do the same thing for 30 years? Hell, what are the odds your job will even exist at that point?

This mouse and keyboard are decent, right (durability, functionality...)? Or is there any better cheap options that are usually dumped offices? Found them by around U$5,00 together

>>56872760
Sounds like you won't be doing anything hardware intensive, but I'd look into the recommended specs for whatever applications you'll be using in your program. If you're not gaming you pretty much just need to pick a size, budget, and determine if you care about IPS or not.

>>56872896
That keyboard looks loud as fuck, but if you don't mind keys you have to press in a quarter inch with every stroke, it seems like a good standard keyboard.

Put a Linux distro on USB and boot from that.

Backup your data.

Then download the Win10 iso from Microsoft, put it on USB, and reinstall. Activation is bound to the hardware, so no problem there.

Then buy a $100-200 thinkpad.

Sometimes when I'm on Autodesk I get an error that I've ran out of GPU memory. I have a GTX 950 card, but I've also got 16GB RAM.

Why is GPU memory so special?

>>56866153
usually mobos are configured to detect RAM memories in 2 first then 4 for best performance, using them simultaneously (don't know what exactly it was called) and 1 + 2 and 3 + 4 are connected together meaning that they just stack and don't run faster. 95% sure it says it on your mobo installation guide

frankly for both answers you could've used google

>>56873286
It means VRAM, not RAM, which is your GPU memory.
So how much RAM you have is somewhat irrelevant.

GTX 950 only has 2GB VRAM IIRC.

If i have 2 vlans with couple of pcs in each, can i put them in one workgroup? I think workgroups work only in one subnet

>>56873325
Well, it is the same than a $75-100 T400, the only difference between than the dell and the thinkpad is that you would easier maintenance.

Just try to find one that isnt 1280x800, this goes for both dell and thinkpad.
Too small.

Anyone here ever have a problem with 'checking for updates' in Wangers consuming a whole CPU thread, over a GB of memory, and it just spinning for hours and hours and never finishing?

Yeah I'm having that problem. All the fixes online didn't work. Reinstalled and it has the same issue.

>>56873330
So if it runs out of VRAM it just gives up and won't even consider just using RAM?

>>56873360
>>56873325
Or better yet, buy a T420 with a 1600x900 screen for like $250.

>>56873360
>>56873325
Also Thinkpad T400 uses DDR3 instead DDR2, that is another plus.

You cant just do overtime and get paid more money, you have to be authorized in your employment contract to do so. I'd it isn't in there too bad; bus tables on the weekend, or renegotiate your employment terms.

I'm looking to make a new home server, mainly to act as a NAS.

Currently I'm using an old dell workstation with two xeon CPUs, but it's huge, loud, and uses a shitload of power.

Would like to look into something a bit more power efficient, that I could hopefully toss 10 TB+ of storage into. Bonus points if it's not ridiculously huge/loud.

Any ideas?

I'm currently thinking my main options are to build something custom, buy a NAS and somehow get Linux on it, or buy a single-board computer and hook it up to a bunch of hard drives.

>>56873399
Yeah I don't do automatic updates. Things I've tried:
Manually resetting windows components
Manually installing updates that change the kernel mode driver dlll (which is often the culprit)
Windows updates fixit application from Microshaft.

>>56873636
The thing is that it never completes. I've been running updates for 2 days.

2560x1440 monitors start around $300.
Is the extra money worth it compared to 1080p?

Looking at 2 Dell Ultrasharps, same everything except for the resolution, there is a $150 difference ($200 vs $350) between 1080p and 1440p.

I have ubuntu, installed lxde but it's not showing me the session manager at log on. How to fix?

>>56873745
Is the extra resolution worth the extra money? Can you afford the upgrade? Can your GPU support the extra work for your vidya? I'm not you, I can't tell you. Make a decision for yourself.

One issue with higher resolution at the same size is that some systems don't use scalable graphics, so you are forced to read super tiny text. Otherwise the higher resolution is nicer.

Personal preference bro. Loads of people are happy with 1080p screens. But especially at 25"+ it can make a difference. Go down to bestbuy or visit a friend who has it and see if you like it enough to justify the additional cost for screen+GPU power.

Hey /g/urus, I've run in to a bit of a problem with my USBs (I think). In the last 2-3 weeks my mouse has randomly started to disconnect. The thing is that this doesn't seem like a "disconnect" as in that windows would inform that "Usb device has been disconnected" instead the red light is still on, but the mouse just doesn't work. Now last monday my keyboard did kinda the same. It ceases to function and the lights blink, same with the mouse. Now the same happened yesterday, and again today. The first time the problem seemed to solve itself and I continued on with my stuff. Now after 40minutes I powered off my computer and restarted. In the boot menu everything was working fine and now I am typing this here.

I really have no idea what to do here. Tried to google but couldn't find anything with the same exact problem.

Linux and windows use different ASCII characters for line endings. Look at using unix2dos to fix this before transferring them, or use a windows text editor that knows about it.

Should I keep using ubuntu gnome or should I just get Fedora?

I've been enjoying it, as it is the best linux experience I've had thus far.

The only problem with Ubuntu Gnome is that on my second monitor I can't change the resolution after a certain point. It is a 1280x1024 monitor and it's stuck at 1024x720. It's using a DVI-VGA adapter but on windows I don't have that problem, it just werks.

Is there a way to fix this?

test with different mouse and keyboard just to be safe
test all the usb ports
assuming it's not those things, there's a problem with either your power supply or the motherboard itself
go and pick up one of these power supply tester things from whatever electronics store and test your psu
if your psu checks out then your mobo is fucking up

There's a CSS class on your own posts, something like yourPost, so you can put

.replyContainer:not(.yourPost) {display: none;}

in custom CSS.

>>56875933
Also you could put

:root.hideNotYours .replyContainer:not(.yourPost) {display: none;}

in custom CSS and

external-text:"you","javascript:document.documentElement.classList.toggle('hideNotYours');void(0)"

in custom board navigation to toggle it.

It's browser and extension type dependent, but it's in the same place as the rest of the settings and you can see it if you export them. It only keeps it for live threads; dead ones get pruned.
