Small Questions Thread /sqt/

Say I have Windows 7 and a Linux distro installed on different partitions of the same drive, and use GRUB to pick between them. I want to install a new, different Linux distro and get rid of the previous one, is it as simple as creating a new partition for the new distro, deleteing the old Linux partition, then add the new distro to the GRUB menu? Or is something going to break?

how can I set up a whitelist to allow Flash to load on certain sites?

>>57033882
Just install new over old linux, use same partititions. The installer should adjust grub itself.

I'm trying to read Windows terminal input in C using the win32 API in a non-blocking way. I use GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE) to get the file handle for stdin, and pass it to WaitForMultipleObjects along with other handles I'm interested in reading from, kinda like how I would use select(). Then when it says the console handle has input, I do this:

if(ReadConsole(hCons, buf, sizeof(buf), &dwRead, NULL)) {
    printf("read %d bytes: '%s':", dwRead, buf);
    for(i=0; i<dwRead; i++)
        printf(" %02x", buf[i]);
    printf("\n");
}

Sometimes it works:
>Hello
>read 7 bytes: 'Hello
>': 48 65 6c 6c 6f 0d 0a

Other times it doesn't:
>asdf
>read 6 bytes: 'n': 6e 00 6f 00 62 00

WTF am I doing wrong here? Best I can tell, it works when a modifier key was pressed before typing the first letter. Otherwise it returns N bytes from the name of the exe in unicode.

I've never looked into getting a vpn service but I"m interested now for torrent privacy. The problem is that I don't even know where to begin. Googling seems to return results that look like blogs that are thinly veiled ads for certain vpn services.

>>57036233
I recommend starting with a VM (using VirtualBox, VMware, or Parallels) since then you can tab out of it and look online if you have problems that keep it from booting properly. It also makes it really quick and easy to delete if you decide you don't like it or want to try a different one.

Some flavor of Ubuntu or Mint is a good bet for a Linux newbie. If you don't like the default desktop environment, you can apt-get install kde-desktop or whatever other one.

>>57036416
Very little. Corrupted firmware would much more likely cause it to crash or not start at all. Farm more likely the button itself is broken, corroded, or filled with pocket lint. You can try opening it up, turning it on, and shorting the two pins coming out of the button together with the tip of a screwdriver to see if that registers as a button press. If it does, the button itself is bad. You can see if pressing it really hard and wiggling it around fixes it, or desolder the old one and solder in a new tiny momentary switch that fits.

>>57036474
Depends what you want to program. For general purpose stuff, basic arithmetic and some algebra. For games, trig can come in handy because of angles and physics. For theoretical and research stuff you need calculus, stats, discrete math, etc.

>>57036482
Same as with a PC. Either clone the disk (with a GPT capable tool), or swap drives and then do a fresh install of OS X. The install is simple enough, though you will want to use the Mac in creating the installer USB since iirc it involves writing a non-dd-able .dmg file to the USB.

Can I shorten the auto-submit time if I have a pass? It's stuck at the old 1 minute.

Do you mean remapping keys for just one keyboard out of multiple keyboards? I've done this before. While it's messy, it works. Here's a YT link: https://youtu.be/Arn8ExQ2Gjg?t=6m2s

>>57036555
GNU isn't a distro, it's the base userland used by all Linux distros. Ubuntu is perfectly fine for coding, though once you're comfortable with Linux you might want to move to something like Slackware, Arch or Gentoo that gets in the way of tweaking less and does less noob-friendly hand-holding.

>>57036559
For gaming it looks okay. I'd be tempted to go up to a 960 or even a 1060 ($60 more for almost 2x the performance) myself, on the thought that it's not THAT much more expensive and should make it last longer before it needs upgrading. The amount of RAM is good, though I'd consider getting it in 2 sticks of 4 so you can install them in a dual-channel configuration. I'm not that familiar with AMD CPUs, but logicalincrements.com seems to think the FX6300 pairs well with a 950 or 960 but would probably bottleneck a 1060 on most games.

>>57036733
You can download Sierra from the Mac App Store. Then, if you want it on a bootable USB, just use createinstallmedia.

Thank you for all the suggestions. It's a rockboxed clip+ that has had a rough life. I assumed what you told me as well but just wanted to double check. Will take it apart and see what can help as you suggested.

looks good for gaming. if you dont want to play AAA titles, but just want to game for something to do, you could maybe find an 850 or something and put another 40$ into you cpu and get a jump up. i really dont know much on pricing lately, been awhile since i did a build.

>>57036733
>i have a 2.5" hd enclosure, will that work?
Yes, and you don't even need to use it if you don't care about the data and are going to do a fresh install. If you mean to use it instead of the USB stick to make an installer on, it should work.

I just picked up a partial spool of CAT6. What are the best connectors and crimpers you've found?

>>57036790
>It's a rockboxed clip+
Use your fingernail or a thin spudger to pry it apart. Remove the SD card first. Be particularly careful with the thin bit of plastic above the SD slot and volume buttons. It's super easy to break those. If you do break them, you can put them back together with krazy glue, just make sure the glue is fully dry before snapping the player back together if you ever want to open it again.

Do NOT use a screwdriver to pry it open. It will mangle the plastic around the seam, and it risks stabbing the soft-shelled LiPo battery inside and converting it into a flamethrower.

Also if you're on the stable build of Rockbox, I recommend upgrading to the latest snapshot for better battery life, more stable USB, slightly improved audio quality, and other bugfixes.

I have a wacom intuos3 9x12, and it's acting strangely. I plug it into my win7 desktop (which before was using an intuos3 6x8 without issue) and it comes up as 'usb device not recognized'. I install the software fresh on a win8 laptop, plug the tablet in, and it works fine. Then I picked it up and balanced it on one edge, and it suddenly disconnected and the laptop started giving the same 'device not recognized' that the desktop was giving.

So it works on fresh installs until you fuck with it (maybe jitter the cord, maybe something else), and then it won't be detected correctly. But otherwise, it does work.

How can I prevent this unreliable behavior? I see nothing like it happening with the 8x6 tablet, and they appear to be identical aside from the size of the drawing space.

Is it possible to introduce a logical paradox to a computer so complex that it shuts itself down?

>>57036979
It can be typed, programmed, anything. Best you get is your program either catches the error and recovers, or doesn't catch the error (because the programmer didn't think to check for it) and the OS kills the program. Or if the OS is shit (like Win9x) the program could crash the system, not because it was a paradox but because it corrupted the OS kernel or asked the hardware to do something.

>>57036986
The CPU raises an exception. If the program doesn't catch it and recover gracefully, the OS will catch it and kill the program.

I now have three wireless mouses that barely work. An Insignia that works for 5 minutes then gets choppy, a $40 Microsoft that does the same but not quite as bad, and now I just got a Tecknet that has 2000 five star reviews on Amazon but only works when within inches of the USB receiver. So there must be a lot of interference: my desk, my monitor, wireless network (which is 30 feet away).

I've never really torrented before, but assuming I did is the worst case scenario recieving a cease and desist letter in the mail telling you to stop? (I'm not talking about torrenting large software titles or music, or movies, I'm referring to anime.) Obviously I'm looking into a VPN, just curious if that sort of letter is all I'd recieve

>>57038220
I've torrented around 30TB of data in my life and never even though about that as a real possibility.
But if you're talking about the semi recent letters people got in the mail they're just baiting. If you reply they know you're hooked. If you don't reply they'll move on. So many people torrent it's easier to find a willing victim than it is to gather actual proof and go to court.

>>57038220
They'll send a blackmail letter which tells you to pay a few hundred dollars. If you refuse then they'll sue you and you'll have to pay more in court.

>>57038249
Except both US and EU courts have ruled and IP is not a person so it's incredibly difficult to actually prove in court. They can get a list of IPs from open trackers like pirate bay just by downloading the torrent file and then go to a judge with the list of IPs to find out who to send extortion letters to but to actually gather enough evidence for it to stand in trial is just not worth the effort and investment.

Sorry for customer support-ish question, but I googled my fingers off.
When I connect the PC to the router through Ethernet cable, it doesn't work. I can connect to Wifi successfully, and the cable works when I try to use it with other laptop, so it's likely not the router/cable problem. The internet icon has a yellow exclamation mark near it.

Is undervolting still a thing?

I got a 6600K is a SFF case, and I want to make it as cool and efficient as possible.

>>57039028
*Webkit control?

>>57039030
Sure you can undervolt and underclock it as much as you want

>>57039030
You can try it but it will likely require underclocking as well to make it stable. You've bought a performance-oriented processor, why are you looking to put it in a tiny case and gimp it?

>>57039028

No game engines? I wouldn't know why you'd think you would need one.

If it's a quiz app all you really need to do for the basics is have a list of questions and answers, keep track of the score, and load in new questions as the user advances. This is very easy to do with basic javascript and a little bit of DOM control. Hell, if the question set is small enough I'd just load them all in at the beginning and only make a couple visible at a time as the user advances, no need to load anything.

I've gone the non-K route, only to regret it later when I needed the performance.

Wait, they made clear ones? The only options I ever saw were deep red, blue, and black.

Also be careful when dremeling off the remains of the clip -- the plastic is pretty thin in places.

Here's how I did mine. The parts where it's still sticking up about half a millimeter are where it might have turned into a hole if I made it flush. I had this black string where the ends click together. I don't know where it came from but it must've been from some sort of pendant. The string goes across inside it between the headphone jack and the battery, and I used a piece of electric tape to keep the player from sliding back and forth on the string. I usually take it off by giving the player a yank, and it's been working fine for a few years now. The downside is it makes it easy to dunk it in glasses of water if you aren't careful. That's happened a couple times but amazingly it doesn't seem to have taken any damage.

Not him, but am anime expert. The question will come down to who cares enough to pursue something like that. In my particular case, I don't use a vpn because I doubt that KyoAni is going to send my small ISP a letter about me downloading Hibike.

My cpu temperatures ranges wildly from idle: 15-50, to under-load 40-70 and I don't understand why. When I mean wildly is that within 30 seconds it can drop/increase 30 whole degrees.

I've cleaned off the old dried thermal paste and reapplied it. Didn't solve it.
Reapplied it again just incase and even reseated the cpu. Didn't solve it.
I've replaced the stock cooler with another one and even purchased 2 additional 120mm fans to fill up the fan slots on my case.
There are no fans obstructing the cpu and I can see it spinning inside and it shows up in the bios as spinning.

The temperature is overall cooler especially the other parts. However the cpu is still wildly fluctuating and I don't understand why. It no longer overheats and shutsdown my computer but the core problem (extreme fluctuating temps) hasn't gone away.

tl;dr: Tried solutions on google, cpu temps wildly fluctuates up to 40 degrees in less than a minute. Don't understand.

Nothing will happen. I'm sure it has happened before but I cannot name a single time. You only get those letters when you download the latest movies/shows (not anime movies, but stuff like the movie, The Accountant) and usually from very popular and common public torrents.

Don't download new movies and you should be fine.

I've gotten a C&D before (humorously enough not even our fault. A friend torrented a movie on our wifi). No phone call or anything, it was just a letter and we just ignored it.

I put precaution on movies because that is the only place I've ever witnessed it and ever heard anyone witness it. I'm sure you're right that even that is unlikely but if the guy is scared enough to jump on a VPN, he should just stay away from day0 movies.

I didn't have temps that high 6 months ago when I built this rig and it is not the issue that it is high but that fluctuates so wildly.

Does anyone know how to make part of the audio and video loop on flash?

I mean like this:
http://img.4plebs.org/boards/f/image/1434/50/1434504631838.swf

You see how the very start of the video and audio never loop again but the rest of the song does forever? How do you make a flash like that?

>>57039798
Pretty sure that is just a loop with an intro.

My sd card just crapped out with a message
>Blank SD card
>SD card blank or has unsupported file system
>Press >>>>here<<<<< to format
I don't have sensitive data on it, but I'd rather not have to reupload all my music and shit and I'm curious as to why it would crap out.
The sd is relatively new. Any leads?

>>57039812
what do you mean exactly?

>>57039835
The flash is two completely separate clips. The beginning that he manually synced with the audio and then the loop.

Either you have two movie clips and call the second movie clip to keep looping it or you just use gotoAndPlay(x)

>>57039832
Did you buy it online for cheap? Usually a high capacity SD card sold cheap is really a small capacity one that's been modified to lie about its size. When you run out of real capacity it wraps around and corrupts your filesystem.

Use H2testw (Windows) or SD Insight (Android) to test it and see if it's a counterfeit card.

>>57039884

>>57039862
>>57039862
Ok let me see if I can do this..

>>57039963
>I took it apart and realised I couldn't access the keyboard
For most laptops you undo a few key screws on the bottom (often marked with a glyph that looks vaguely like a keyboard), then pry off a bar just above the keyboard, which often contains power and volume buttons. This will either reveal a couple screws holding the keyboard down or allow it to slide up and then out. If there is no bar, there are often little indents at the bottom of the keyboard that you use to push it upward toward the hinge and then lift it after you undo the right screws on the bottom.

>After reassembling it, it randomly works again
That is quite lucky.

>What CPU?
>What OS?
>What Motherboard?

Generally CPU temp fluctuating that fast in a short period of time happens when a process or program is running. (For example, when I open up a program on my PC my temperatures will go up from say 31C idle, to 42C, then back down to 35C though I assume you already knew that.) regardless your temps seem normal, but if it's shutting down to preserve itself because its reaching its thermal limit, there may be an issue.

>>57039935
nothing unexpected, it appears I got a toshiba
I guess it's time to bulk buy some card an spend some time listening to radio while it arrives

On Manjaro, when I use mpv to watch videos, there's a random chance for it to completely mess up everything to where I have to restart my computer for everything to work correctly. Whenever I am playing a video, there will be times when I can't double click or press escape to get out of fullscreen. The video will still play, but if I want to get out of it, I have to drag the trackbar to the end of the video for it to get out. When that happens, it messes up my entire interface by preventing me from opening my panel, switching windows or desktops, and preventing me from opening or closing any programs by making the buttons disappear.

Besides by the obvious step of not using mpv anymore, what can I do to fix this? What could cause something like this to happen?

If SSD, look into secure erasing using a Linux distro, google for more info

If normal HDD, use DBAN.
Depending on how extreme you want to go, you could take it apart and smash the platter, rub it with a powerful magnet, microwave it or other various things. DBAN should work fine though.

>I assume you know that
Yeah, I mean like without opening or even using the computer. Like if I am just sitting at my computer but playing my ps3 and glance over the temps would change. Pic related is a better explanation of the fluctuation with just firefox and paint open. Other than the stopwatch and printscreen/pasting I wasn't doing anything.

The other temps on my computer changed like 2-3 degrees at most during the time of the stopwatch. The actual cpu usage barely changed from 15-20% either.

Like it doesn't overheat anymore but the temps get pretty close depending on what I'm doing. I haven't tried rendering anything because if playing video games bring my temp to 70-75 I don't want to try and render a video.

If I just intend to get an SSD to hold the OS installation, I should just snag one of the smaller ones, right? Any one in particular that you recommend?

I got a two-year old Seagate to act as storage for games, music, and all that shit.

I got a 64GB SSD 5 years ago, used it for Windows 7 and Photoshop CSwhatever the latest is. Over time, due to Windows being bloated and handling updates poorly, it ended up at 45/50GB. So I'd say at least 100GB to be comfortable on Windows, 64GB should be fine for Linux. Samsung 850 Evos tend to be crowd favorites, they're good and cheap.

>>57040400
If you haven't looked into it already, it looks like the max thermal tolerance for your CPU is 62C. Are you overclocked? I assume you would have mentioned if you were or not. Considering it's an AMD processor, memes aside it's going to run warmer, if you're not crashing I'd say it's fine? Though I still can't explain the difference in temperature. If you're up for it, you could try booting a Live distro and see if the issue persists, if it doesn't I'd imagine it's some run-away process that Windows is running or something similar. (An easier way of trying to see if it's a process would be simply looking through your task manager, however I would suggest a Live boot, as it would be an entirely different environment.) I read around and I saw mention of some people complaining of high temps using the same motherboard you're using, however that was only with overclocking. So I'd rule that out, assuming you're just running it stock.

Hope that helps a bit, it's what I'd try

I'm running it stock, the motherboard is really cheap so I wouldn't want to overclock it. Also don't really do much cpu intensive stuff that I would need overclocking.

I just spent the last 20 minutes rendering a very large video that I had lying around. The temps hit 75-78 within like 3 minutes which concerned me but never actually increased beyond that. It hit 78 and has been there since. Considering this is literally the most intensive thing I do on my computer that's a pretty good sign and maybe while it is weird I shouldn't worry about it too much.

>try a live distro
I'll probably do this and see what happens.

Looking through task manager has not helped me once yet. I can't find anything that looks out of place. I found a similar thread that the guy's voltage is completely out of whack and it could be an issue. However voltage goes completely over my head.

Lastly, any particular HDDs you recommend? My Seagate has been running strong, but I'm worried that it'll kick the bucket soon. Was thinking maybe a 2 TB Black from WD, but I heard some say that they only last a few months before shitting the bed.

>>57040583
If you can't get to the keyboard layout config in control panel and change it just for your account, your only real option is to use a 3rd party program, maybe an AutoHotkey script to capture the keys you want to remap, and send the correct key instead.

good computer architecture book? unversity recommends william stallings.

>>57040625
Anything WD is probably fine, they're the crowd favorite for a reason, and your data is too important for anything but. Blacks are fast and loud(Normal late 80s/early 90s drywalled Pacific Northwest house, I can hear a WD Black through the bathroom wall), Blues are normal and cheap. And honestly, normal drives are fine nowadays, unless you NEED the crazy performance. And if you only need that crazy performance for one thing I'd consider spending the extra money on a bigger SSD than a faster HDD.

Would the two PCIe 3.0 slots being in x8/x8 mode bottleneck two 1080's in SLI? PCIe 3.0 is new enough I'm not sure if video cards fully utilize it yet.

Please teach me how to browse for tablets. I am in the market to buy, but maybe not right now.

What should I look out for and seek? What should I avoid? My only requirement right now is android and a mostly seamless top, if you know what I mean, though I'm pretty sure that's standard for modern tablets now.

I checked the wiki about two weeks ago but the only android tablet they list is the Nexus 9 which was discontinued half a year ago and has inflated to 1,000 CAD on amazon from the original seller and stuff. I asked for alternatives but got no replies.

>>57042032

>>57042055
Yeah, I read of the Pixel C in the article I read that first told me the Nexus 9 was discontinued. This was two weeks ago, and the first google link for "Nexus 9" was still the official vendor, which when you go to buy only leads to broken links...

So, cheers m8. I mean, sorry you can't get the tablet, but thanks for reminding me of it, anyway. Sorry. I still want to know how to browse the market anyway though, too, or maybe of just straight recommendations.

From what I've seen the Windows 10 UI looks really good, honestly. Not "blow your socks off" good, but, "actually like Windows 7 and intuitive" good.

The only thing I heard was that you can't disable telemetry (m$ harvesting your data, using your PC to seed updates etc.) on it, but that was [citation needed] at the time so I can offer no real input, sorry.

>>57042211
Amazon, ebay, cnet, wirecutter, best of lists. Read around on the different models. Reviews are as important as anything. Anything with a snapdragon 600 and 1080p or above and good reviews will usually leave you pretty satisfied

http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-android-tablet/

>>57042284
Some people have had their system fucked up pretty bad by the windows updates, which microsoft makes a pain to disable. On the other hand they're about to make it impossible to choose individual updates in 7 too. But 7 gets fiddled with less. Eventually 7 will be pretty much a non-option, but if you don't need Dx12 it's still pretty comfy for now.

>>57042302
You definitely can't disable 100% of telemetry in 10, just minimize it through certain settings.

>>57042326
Aye, cheers... I guess that's the only way after all, isn't it... better get started, I guess.

And sorry for not responding to the other guy (>>57042296) but the only resource-heavy thing I do is play mobile games, but they're still the time vs. money mobile games. They're not resource-heavy except when you're sitting on a few specific animations on-screen, but I can't feasibly download the games, log into the play store, then load my save to test that, right... and it'd be a matter of hardware, anyway.

The only model-to-model complaints I may have is that on my current tablet I sometimes accidentally press the back or task manager (I suppose) buttons since they aren't buttons. Like, cum on them would make them spaz out. But I've learned to periodically copy everything I've typed so far, and that's the type of thing you observe before using a model, anyway. Plus, some apps save your ass from losing your data by giving you a confirmation screen. That doesn't save you from task manager and accidentally scrolling the app off to close it, but it helps sometimes. So I mean, I don't really need to hands-on test product, I think- it's just hardware vs price (vs. possible model inferiority), to me.

My laptop fan broke, and since those fuckers ask for 70 bucks for the replacement without parts, I'm going to do it myself.

I've had to run cmd commands I found through google to uninstall some updates after Windows Update enables itself and installed it all once, but this would only be a cockblock.

Why small? Can't they be stupid?

I find it amusing that every time I bring this up someone's like 'THEFUCKAREYOUTALKINGABOUT??!?'

Yeah, they're not releasing individual updates any more. Said the windows 10 update model was such a big success they decided to backport it. I haven't heard anything officially about windows update forcing updates, but they're simply not going to release the individual versions any more. All you can do is get cumulative updates with everything, or nothing. The exception is the monthly security only updates rollup, but they're going to be a pain to get.

>>57042566
I like the source the first guy provided. It has this excerpt that mentions telemetry unlike your sources:

>While that is bad enough, it gets worse.
>If you don't trust Microsoft enough because of its actions in the past year -- Get Windows 10 or Telemetry are two headwords -- then you may not want those cumulative updates. The reason is simple: you cannot block updates that you don't want anymore.

I probably shouldn't sit on an outdated version of W7 for very long, so this is making me kind of antsy desu. This makes it so there's no reason anymore to choose 7 over 10 except for the UI and possible program support, right?

Something in my rather newly built computer is producing a low pitched, but still rather annoying buzzing noise whenever loads are low (i.e. when I'm just browsing the internet).

It's not entirely unbearable but I'd love to fix it somehow.

Which part could be causing the problem? I believe it to either emit from the PSU or GPU but I can't really tell honestly.

Here's some relevant parts.
PSU: Seasonic Platinum 860
GPU: G1 Gigabyte GTX 1080
CPU: Intel i7 6700k
Mobo: ASUS Z170

It's maybe worth noting that the computer is about a week old. Had absolutely no problems when I built it in and everything seems to be in order as far as I can tell.

>>57042606
They were some of the first links. As in this has been public info for a while. I'm disappointed but not surprised that you still need internet explorer to download the security patches. I expect pretty soon someone will figure out a convenient way to install them with some tool or another. If you don't care about non-security updates that's probably still the best option that doesn't involve penguins.

I just read that an unofficial update have been made to an android keyboard app I used, which its last official update was from 2011, and the unofficial update bring Android L skin to the keyboard. However, when I try to download it, I am not able to get a working link to the app. THe keyboard is named "Android L 中文鍵盤(CedIME)" and google search turn up a few apparently useful site.
First google search result is from ezone, which is a local computer magazine, but it provided the link via googl url shortener service and google think the link target is harmful and thus censored the link
Second google search result is a blog on blogspot, not sure about the identity of the blog owner but it linked copy dot com for the download of the software which have already terminated their service.
Third search result is on gphonefans dot net which appears to be a short review, but the domain name have already expired. Luckily the post is still accessible by google cache, however the bitly link it provided return http 500.
All other search results seems to be merely copying from the gphonefans site.
Is it now impossible for me to download that app?

I remember doing this exact assignment in this exact language 3-4 years ago in highschool. We had a textbook that said all of the dialog options like change color and such. Basically in code for the button you have an onClick event or whatever it's called start the other object's color dialog box. I'll have to look at VB again to give you an exact answer, but you'll never use VB again after that class. Learn C early.

I am really fucking annoyed, by the way, that literally overnight my tablet's battery started shitting itself, basically, after two years 3 mo. of use. I just woke up one day to find my tablet at 45% charge instead of being charged to full. Alright, I think, I'll just use it while it's plugged-in. But no, it still drains even when I do this now.

Now my tablet can only get a mere 10% charge overnight, literally. And it has to be off, not in sleep. If I accidentally unplug it for seconds while it use, it drops 2% from like 8 to six, though maybe this is because I don't naturally drain it at percentages this low, so the display is wonky. Either way, it's horrible. It doesn't help that for some reason the charger is difficult and finicky to keep plugged-in, now.

Not a question, just ranting. Also I just sage googled "replace samsung galaxy tab 4 battery" and see some tutorial videos so maybe I can replace this piece of shit battery even without a "removable battery".

So looking at this benchmark fx-9370 is only about 15% weaker than i7-4790k, but at the same time it's about half the price. What's with that is the benchmark shit? Or is it really only slightly worse and I should buy it?

>>57043557
It's half the price because you're buying an AMD CPU.

Wether that's a good or bad thing is entirely subjective.

for some reason i have to set my CRT resolution to 640x480 @ 120fps manually for my CRT to make the switch to 320x240 @ 120fps in emulators
if i dont, even if i have 320x240 selected, the CRT will stay in the previous resolution. screenshots still show that the real resolution is 240p

how can i switch to 240p in emulators without having to set a 120 Hz desktop resolution everytime ?

pc (31KHz+) crt monitors can't do 320x240@60Hz, which is presumably what the other programs are trying to set it to
the reason is that the horizontal frequency is too low, you have to either doublescan or use a doubled refresh rate to get that low a resolution

if you want true 320x240@60Hz, you need a crt television or arcade monitor (~15KHz)

>>57044350

with a keyboard

that guy knows the notes, puts smonk le wee wee erryday on each key of his keyboard with the pitch and then just plays it while the background music runs.

or he uses some software and puts the notes manually with a mouse

but due to the fact that he made a lot already, I guess he's just gifted with music making skills. I can only sample and do bad mashups.

Making music is extrmely fun though, you can force music on everybody - just play it in front of them and youre in there heads already. not so simple with self written programs, people must be willing to use your softwaer

it has to do with CPU temp, not load. you might want to replace the thermal compound.

it's true for that benchmark, but that FX9370 is at 4.7GHz (using over 200W) and the 3770K would run at 3.6GHz under load (using probably 70W). if that 3770K was at 4.7GHz, it would be above that 4790K, but it would also be using significantly more power than stock (probably 175W or more)
