Why is Maki such an ugly whore?

Don't ask me how or why but the storage drive in my HTPC is all inside of a "System Reserved" partition which means Windows really doesn't like to access it without me manually enabling it every time I boot and I can't even remove it with the Windows setup. I'm sure I could use a gpart bootdisk to remove it and format but I was wondering if there was any way to convert it to a normal volume without losing the data? There doesn't seem to be a command for converting system reserved volumes in diskpart.

>>56967257
Does it have the 'system' or 'boot' flags in disk management? Are you saying you have to assign it a drive letter every time you restart? What version of windows?

just reinstalled windows 7 after 10 was a crashfest, what are the update packages I need to avoid to not receive the botnet(TM)?

hi /o/

>>56967542
Just a system flag. Now it wont even read the contents of the drive and sees it as RAW. Keeps asking me to format it but I'd rather not. Anything I can do?

>>56967658
You can try booting up a WinPE disk or linux live cd to see if they recognize it differently, but it sounds like you've got a corrupted partition, so you probably want to use this

Kind of a technophobe question so pls no bully.

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2
I love it, but the thing takes forever to charge, like 4~ hours.
I know it has a 9500 mAh battery but it still seems like it's taking way too long to charge.

My question is, will a non-stock usb 3.0 cable make it charge any faster?

Maybe I'm just spoiled by quickcharge on my LG G4...

>>56967892

Is there any reason to use a docking bay instead of a adapter cable?

>>56967912
charging has to do with the electricity running through, and not the usb speed for file transfer. please correct me if i am wrong.

>>56967912
>Maybe I'm just spoiled by quickcharge on my LG G4...

non stock stuff may damage battery i wouldnt risk it

>>56967416
This month. The 460 is a little better than the 360, but not $40 better. Think really light settings at 1080p.

>>56967912
Probably not. Premium brands tend to include ideal cables to begin with. You can try replacing it with a short (6" or less) quality cable like anker, but you might not see any difference. Make sure your charger puts out at at least 2 amps. Sometimes you just get a shitty charger or cable.

>>56967994
Docking bay could cause less stress to the connector. Sata connectors are not really meant to be plugged and unplugged all the time. Not to mention a bay would usually have something preventing vibration noise.

>>56968095
Okay. Thanks.

>>56967819
thankyou sweetheart

>>56967994
That adapter cable only supports ssds and laptop drives, but since they are so cheap I'd recommend just getting one anyways. Also get a docking bay with 2 slots, great for cloning and such.

I'm guessing English isn't your first language, but generally people say "does anyone have any suggestions for" or something similar before their request.

Here's a good book: https://www.hyperelliptic.org/tanja/teaching/cryptoI13/cryptodict.pdf

>>56967912
Firstly, higher amps for a charger means a faster charge. Look on the wall charger for the tiny text that says something like "Output 2A". 1A is too slow. If you can get a higher value then that's even better, but I don't know how common that is.

Second, apparently the type of cable matters too. I don't know how that works, but I've tested it with every combination of wall charger and cable that I have. (I have a little app that tells me the amps my phone is getting.) What I learned was that sometimes a bad cable can be a bottleneck even when used with a good wall charger. Like these two short cables that came with portable battery packs were giving me 300 mA, which is terrible. So I'd definitely recommend trying out other cables and seeing if they're faster. I don't know what brand is best though. Just try out anything you have access to.

This is the type of USB cable that comes with my external WD hard drive. Notice how the smaller end looks like two micro plugs side-by-side? So there's kind of two ports on the hard drive. I noticed that I could plug a regular phone cable (USB A to micro B) into one of the hard drive's ports (leaving the other empty) and it worked.

My question is: what's up with that? Why benefit does the WD cable have over my (longer and cheaper) phone cable? More power? Faster write speeds? Would using a phone cable be in any way worse for my hard drive? Like, I don't want to use a cable that doesn't provide enough power or something if that will wear down my hard drive faster or be more error-prone.

Backwards compatibility. USB 3 micro B is a USB 2 micro A and micro B plug side by side. So you can use a USB 3 micro B cable or either microUSB 2 port type. It's a USB standard, nothing special from WD.

since the latest windows update my computer keeps freezing in brief intervals, like around 4 seconds when switching from my browsers to other programs on my pc, or even like a brief 1-2 second freeze when I press start.

I'm not an expert, but I think you can do that. I believe that's what I did with Windows 8 the last time I got a new computer, but it's been a while.

Just google for a good tutorial, don't do anything until you understand what you're doing, and backup your shit first.

Here's a random tutorial I found:
http://www.tecmint.com/install-ubuntu-16-04-alongside-with-windows-10-or-8-in-dual-boot/

A different tutorial said to boot into Windows once or twice after resizing the partition. It said "This allows the Windows system to automatically rescan the newly-resized partition and write changes to its own bootloader configuration files."

And to reiterate: BACKUP YOUR FILES FIRST! It's a very important step when fucking around with partitions.

But it's easy to mess up so there's no reason not to do a back up. Or there could be a power failure in the middle of it. Really you should have your stuff backed up anyway.

can any of you recommend other paths i could take to reach my goals? have i dived too deep (openframeworks being something i should look into later on) having not done "the basics"?

Whenever i fly overseas, the airplane offers free movies to watch. I can watch them on a little touch screen that's in the seat in front of me. I always watch movies, I've done this 3 times with 3 different airlines.
But EVERY TIME, the touch screen is unresponsive as fuck. I load up the movies, and want to click the arrow to load the next page. But when i click the arrow nothing happens. Sometimes i have to press a few centimeters next to the arrow, sometimes i just have to keep touching it a dozen times, sometimes it just wont work at all.

Am I doing anything wrong? I tried everything, from very light touching, to regular touching, to violent tapping.

if you want to learn the actual basics it does not matter which language you start with.
you will need to learn basic computer operations and how things are done.
that includes stuff like binary to hex conversions, the structure of a computer program and how it exists in ram.
you dont actually need to know these things very deeply but knowing already that when you assign a value to a variable that its basically cached in ram for you to use from there.
its little things that make you go OHHHH SO THATS WHY.
c and c++ might be too advanced for a programmer if you want to do web stuff learn javascript. javascript has gone a long way from what it used to be and in my opinion can teach people a lot of great programming knowledge if learned correctly. javascript is a multi paradigm language. its prototypica, object oriented but also functional.

great ways to learn javascript include the javascript road trip and eloquent javascript.

look for a torrent for this its very well made and approved by google iteself.

also this the pdf is free the hardcover has some extra stuff.
http://eloquentjavascript.net/

both of these assume that you never programmed but will teach you the ins and out of general programming. with javascript particulars.
after that its very easy to branch out and grasp other programming languages and concepts.

Stop bumping yourself and do a modicum of research.

Laptops are constantly rotated on and off the market.

You should be estimating a budget, and finding what components you need for your purposes.

For example, light gaming with those games would only require a semi-modern dedicated gpu, something like a "960m".

So just do this:
>specify price range
>determine minimum specs
>find laptop with specs you need
>compare price to other laptops
>read reviews on final contenders and purchase

Fuck.

It really isn't that hard.

Are there any decent Android tablets with a screen size of 9 to 10 inches and a 10:16 aspect ratio, or at least close to it?

I've had a Nexus 7 (2013) for a few years for reading mango, and I think the width is perfect but would like a larger screen overall.

>>56971587
No, since anything that needs a I7 its not really designed for a power saving computer.

But yeah, it would be a little more efficient.
Still not worth the 40% extra you would have to pay.

>>56971858

ok thanks,

>>56971914
If you feel like you can afford it get it.

What are you going to use that laptop that you need a I7?
It is more efficient than the I5 in terms of power consumption but you have to take in consideration which CPUs are you talking about and what you are going to do with them.

The price difference is just not worth it for most tasks.

sharing hard drives is also a security risk if you do it on windows.
most NAS specific hardware is also very low power usage so you can leave it running basically all the time.
i personally have an old phenom 2 x6 1090T on a microatx board that is running freeNAS with 16 gigs of ram and 6 2TB hard rives for storage.
it has all my movies, music and other files. also runs plex for inhome movie streaming and is also my pirating box running deluge with sickrage and couchpotato. also runs nextcloud for synching family photos from our smart phones and a small webserver for testing and deployment.
sometimes i also run a minecraft server on it or some virtual machines for software testing.

you can get a nas started really cheeply an intel box costs like 100 bucks and just attach a nas controller to it and install arch linux or something onto it and configure it how you like.

its really mostly convinience and ease of use.

if they dont work out of the box you need to install the open source or proprietary wacom tablet drivers. as thats the one that is inside the x200.

its strange though they should not be necessary as of kernel 3.2

>>56972282

wait for new, if it sucks the old ones would be even cheaper anyway

>>56972282
Wait for the next model and some reviews.
Otherwise get the current model.

>>56972505
Actually I did install the Wacom drivers, my stylus even works pefrectly. But I can't seem to bind my tablet keys to anything, they aren't even recognized.

>>56972519
after a bit of googleing they do seem to cause a lot of trouble for many distros for different reasons.
they do seem to work on distros that use systemd but many just accept that they forgo their use when using linux in general.
they seem to work somewhat on arch linx, ubuntu, fedora and mint however.
if you want full functionality the only option is going back to windows it seems.

Nevermind, GeForce experience was just being a bitch

1440p, here I come

Bullshit and lies aside, are there any external hard drive brands I should outright avoid for their tendency to fail?

I won't be using them too often. I want a small one that'll solely contain a backup of my fresh W7 install with good updates and such (done in anticipation of Microsoft fucking up how W7 will receive updates this month) and maybe a 1TB one to hold my music. Nothing that will be plugged in close to 24/7.

Why exactly is not doing garbage collection a bad thing?
I've done some basic first year assembly programming where we 'deallocated' local variables off the stack when jumping around memory but they never explained what would happen if we didn't do that.

since the latest windows update my computer keeps freezing in brief intervals, like around 4 seconds when switching from my browsers to other programs on my pc, or even like a brief 1-2 second freeze when I press start. Sometimes the freeze goes for longer and if I keep clicking or typing my computer starts beeping. Is there a fix for this?

I'm getting rid of my desktop PC and setting up a 'hub' to plug by laptop into and use my desktop peripherals.

I'm guessing easiest way is to connect monitor through HDMI, then have a USB hub that has KB, mouse, DAC, External HD attached - so only have to plug 2 cables + power into laptop and boom it's working like my desktop for browsing.

Any hubs exist that would simplify this further? Any recommended hubs for what I outlined above?

I was looking at D-LINK DUB-1340 usb hub for this, as it's the only one I can see as advertising power to the hub's USB ports. I want to make sure that I can plug by DAC in (schiit modi) as it draws power from USB.

The D-Link is only 4 ports though, and I'd prefer 1 or 2 more if possible, but 4 would work as there are 2 USB ports on my laptop.

Hey /g/

I'm looking to upgrade from a R9 390 to a 1070 and am waiting for the best time to buy.

I already have the money however y'know, make every buck count.

I noticed my Amazon card has 70 shekels off anything through points so I'm wondering
1.Should I buy a 1070 now? It'd be 70 off.
2. Because I'm in no serious rush, should I wait for Black Friday or do the Wait For Vega (TM) meme?

>>56973268
Are you sure it was since the last windows update?

W7, 8.1, 10.

Sounds like a HDD failure.

>>56973330
I use windows 10. I have an SSD (windows is installed on this) and 2 HDD. Others are also saying the latest update is causing this, I've read from some people it's due to programs being on both the SSD and the HDD

Does anyone know the stock RMBP fan speed values? I started running El Cap off an external 2TB hdd, and when the hdd temps reached some highs the stupid fans increased to near 100% because they thought the internal ssd is hot, so I had to switch to macs fan control
Right now its set to 74 - 82 but I know it was designed to go near 90, just dont want to overdo the fans and have them die on me in couple of years

>>56973356
>Windows update caused this
Sounds highly possible, do a system restore.

>Programs both on SSD and HDD
Irrelevant to windows freezing.

Everytime I unplug my wireless adapter from my Windows 10 computer it blue screens and says KERNEL SECURITY CHECK FAILURE or something. I don't care, but I'm curious why it happens because it's so weird.

>>56967128

I have an H8-1121 that I got for my 21st birthday. It's almost 4 years old now and I have used it pretty much every day for 4 years, sometimes for 8 hours at a time. How much longer is it going to last? Its graphics card died in late 2014. I have read that hard drives last for 7 years. I need it to last at least 1 more year so that I can buy a new one after I graduate.

Motherboard is probably the last piece of hardware that will fail in a computer unless is made by a low quality company like ASRock(They are good now with skylake motherboards) or Biostar.

If they have proper cooling and you dont do any kind of overclock in them even more.
Its one of the last parts you should worry about.

HDDs can last even more if you take care of them and if they are good quality ones (I have a Maxtor 40GB HDD with 78k hours for example and only 18 bad sectors but still working).
All my WD Blues have atleast 30k hours and 0 problems with the exception of one.
I have had a couple of seagate and WD greens fail tho.


Also, a 1TB WD Blue is $49, im sure you can afford one, or a 240GB SSD for $55-80
A low end GPU is $100-150.
You CPU is good enough, PSU might be a little worn.

If it had good care and cooling, it will last you 2-5 years more, who knows.

>>56973643
>If it had good care and cooling

Did you read the link? It's a prebuilt. You know what kind of cooling it has.

A way to know if your HDD is still good is to read SMART data, If it were damaged you would notice slowdowns, or in case of a heavy failure windows would freeze.
CPU will start giving system instability before a fatal failure, same for RAM.

>>56973667
HP is not known for its good cooling but meanwhile its under 60°C it is considered acceptable.
That is prebuilt doesn't mean it has shit cooling but probably only has a exhaust fan only right?

My external hard drive came with a short USB cable (A to micro 3.0). The length of the cable is inconvenient due to the way I use my laptop. I'd like a cable that stretches from my bed to my nightstand where I can put the hard drive. But I read that longer cables lose power. The hard drive is powered from the usb cable alone so I want to make sure I don't get a cable that's too long.

1. Is what I read true?
2. What's the longest cable that I should consider? Is three feet fine? Six feet? Does it matter at that distance for a hard drive's energy requirements?

>>56973688
It's just air cooled with a fan thingy.

>>56973688

How do I get the SMART data?

Ok I Had windows 10 and ubuntu dual boot and i wanted to remove ubuntu to put arch on it instead. I managed to (with a bit of trouble) remove ubuntu and Grub from my system. however I still have Ubuntu listed as a boot device How do i get rid of this?

>>56973854
Boot up some kind of linuix, run efibootmgr to get the list, then efibootmgr --delete-bootnum xxxx to delete the ones that you don't want.

There may be somewhere to change it from within UEFI setup too.

>>56973707
6ft is fine so long as you're not buying shitty fake cables off aliexpress. USB cable length is mostly limited by data integrity not power.

i.e. when the main web server is down for maintenance or whatever, requests will go to the "status" server so the user will get the message saying we're doing maintenance.

My phone crashes when playing audio through speaker ..why

>>56974656
Pretty sure it can. IIRC, disabling webcam led is basically just slightly modifying a driver setting.

>>56974656
>>56974740
Depends on the webcam. Some are controlled by software, some the LED's wired directly to the webcam's power and will be on whenever the webcam is.

>>56974600
>Which OS are you trying to have manage the boot?
Ubuntu, im doing it the same way i did it on my laptop except it wont let me edit partitions on desktop

>>56974656
Yes but mostly depends on the webcam.
Usually its common since most cameras are really low quality/cheapest possible.

This is why people tape the cameras.

Do people seriously think Donald Trump would be a good president? Or do they just think he's "less bad" than Hillary or something?

I don't particularly like Hillary myself but am legitimately terrified of the possibility of Trump getting elected (though it seems to be becoming less likely by the day), I feel like he'd get us into a major war or something.

>>56967128
can I have an android vm that can make twitter accounters without needing a phone number?

>>56975941
of course he'd be a good president

>>56975941
What war though, Hillary and the neocons are the ones ringing the bells with Russian war propaganda and already pissed Russia off by funding terrorists.

>>56975953
I could see him starting something with China, the way he talks about going after them for manipulating their currency. Hillary might start some shit too but I think she has the diplomatic experience to manage that much better than Trump would, he just seems like a loose cannon and will probably be even more so once he doesn't have to worry so much about the election.

Also just the general tone of his comments regarding foreign relations seem to boil down to us waving our big American dick around and forcing all the other countries to submit to our whims, that kind of thing is not going to play well in general.

>>56975941
>Do people seriously think Donald Trump would be a good president?
Maybe not, but he'd have to really fuck up to be on par with Hillary's political career.
He'll also have a full cabinet so it wouldn't be him dicking around non-stop.

>>56975941
Neither Trump nor Hillary would make a good question, but I'd vote for Trump as lifetime supreme ruler before I gave Hillary a shot at a 4 year term.

>>56975983
What did Hillary do that was so bad? I'd take another dishonest, corrupt politician over a man who seems legitimately insane half the time and doesn't seem to be particularly informed on most of the issues he likes to come up with ridiculous plans to "fix".

Any ideas?

>>56976011
I dunno, I just feel like Hillary, while not ideal, will probably not rock the boat too much and leave things more or less as they are in 4-8 years for someone better to take the reins. I can't say the same about Trump.

>>56975941
Why ask /g/. Does your social media circle feel lacking in political diversity?

>>56976051
If you're content with Obama's roller coaster ride, Hillary would be the "you have to be this tall to ride" roller coaster ride.

>>56976059
Most people I know seem to be of the same opinion, that both options suck but Hillary is the safer one for now.
>>56976080
Yeah, like I said it's not exactly ideal, but we can deal with that and fix anything she breaks after her term is over. I can't really say the same of the kind of things Trump is trying to do.

>>56976093
I'm not really interested in playing ball game on /g/ about politics. Try /pol/, don't let the shitposters get under your skin and you might feel content with some of the discussion.

How much blood can an average adult male drain per day and remain safe/healthy?

Thinking of doing this as part of a weight loss plan after hearing that you can burn like 650 calories by donating a pint of blood.

>>56976266

They're trained to do both. Shooting to kill is only for when it's absolutely necessary, yet they do it whenever they damned well please.
>I saw the videos of the bitch loading the gun and trying to tell the kid the cops are just there to kill her
Did I ever say literally every cop is a ruthless murder? No, there are of course cases where the story is legit. It happens all to often though where stories don't align or body cams just happen to malfunction right before a cop ends up killing someone

>>56976929
>I was getting at cops need to
Oh yea. My response came from having to deal with one too many "why are cops racist" posters, sorry about that.
Its difficult to judge when you need to shut to wound or shoot to kill. This reminds me of a montage of cops getting shot that shows just why they have to shoot so much. In the flash of an eye they can have 8 bullets in them.
They have no clue who is going to be compliant and who has already determined they ware going to kill the cop the second the lights came on.

is there any point in going back-end now that cloud based services are taking over everything?

>>56977717
If that doesn't help I usually kill the process and start over. If that doesn't help I restart my PC (it's a good excuse to work less, of course, it'd be infuriating if it happened at home, but that's why I don't use FF at home).

>>56977758
What kinda question is that? You still need to program the backend.

Okay, question guys, I have to take a course on coursera or edx for a subject in my school.
It doesn't matter which one it is, because I don't have to present the content of it, just the syllabus, the looks, basically the teachers are going to be grading our presentation.

Anyway, which would be a good course to take, to teach me more about computer security? I don't know that much about coding, so I was thinking I'd either go with a course about C# or SQL, but I don't really know.

after some research this shit is fucking obscure
all results are tied to the linux kernel

I don't understand ?

>>56977911
Because /t/ is for torrents and /g/ is for Gentoo.

Are there any nifty image delta algorithms out there for this?

Basically how it is done in video, only dumbed down and more easily accessible.

I don't game (if osu even counts), and just generally multitask like a ton of tabs in ff, foobar, chinese cartoons, paint.NET etc and I'm new to the PC building scene.
Basically for what I do, should I get an i3 6100 or some AMD for the better multithreaded performance?

If I would take HDD with Windows 7 installed from old PC and plug it into new one, would it still boot and work without problems?

Or there are extra fixing I would need to do first?

Also, should I install drivers fro new mobo and GPU before moving the HDD or after?

>>56978430
There's a god chance it would. Last time my OS wouldn't start after moving was when I was still using XP, and even that only happened once. If it starts you can install the drivers later.

What did /g/ study at uni?
If you could choose again what would you pick and why?

Laptop screen is producing a high pitched whine, is there anything I can do to fix it besides replacing it?

what are the best sources for downloading games for free?

>>56979122
we are all neets

There are two dark streaks that start from the bottom of my laptop screen. It looks like the light is being blocked from that part but I can't find any more information on it. I think I am not able to properly phrase it and all I get from google are results of people with some software display problem or people whose backlights don't work at all.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Quick question guys

Can you check the resolution of Windows 7 boot manager screen ( resolution of pic related screen).

Steps to check:
1) Open windows boot manager screen by tapping F8 during startup
2) Press monitor key and find resolution
3) Tell me

Step 1 is only for those who don't dualboot.
Windows XP/8/10 users need not apply, only Win 7.

Anyone know a good article on fog computing ? Need to make a short presentation about it, wondering if I could get a better source than the fucking wikipedia and usual clickbait sites

You cannot change the framebuffer in windows

>>56981389
it's 1024x768, same as setup and the boot splash (by default)

>>56982551
>>56981389
also note that this has remained unchanged up to 10, and even vista setup is 1024x768, i believe vista also uses the same for the bootloader, but i forget. it's boot splash is however based on the one from XP/2003, and is still 640x480
