I bought a new rig to upgrade from my Celeron d 430. I bought a 380x to ride me over in 1080p until I had more shekels to blow. My question is this:
>What's the cheapest CPU that won't bottleneck a 380x?
I'm looking to make a secondary rig, and i sincerely doubt I would ever sell this GPU anyway.

Hey /g/,

I'm setting up a 3.1 system in my living room, mostly for movies and gaming (no consoles, Steam in-home streaming). Right now I'm looking at the new Polk Signature series. Two S50 towers and an S30 center would run me about $750, but I can't decide on a subwoofer. Would something like the SVS SB-2000 be too much/outclass the rest of my system? Would an SB-1000 handle a ~24x16 room? I like very precise bass, so I'm not sure I want a ported sub. I'd rather spend a little extra to get under 25Hz than buy a sub that only extends about as far as the towers, are there any cheaper subs that extend that low and would cover the space well?

a few days ago my nvidia driver started fucking up. Sometimes I get a message saying the display driver failed to start. A lot of things make the screen flash black, for example opening task manager will make my screen flash black and make firefox go into the aero basic theme. What is the problem and how do I fix it? I've already tried using display driver uninstaller and reinstalling the drivers

Someone want to redpill me on page file please. I disabled it and now windows gives me low memory error alot. How should I manage it. Have one sdd and two hdds installed.

In C, how do you store numbers into something like this?

I have this along with some other stuff in a struct...

int *digits;

and in my function, I allocate some space for the struct...

HugeInteger *n = NULL;

//MALLOC CALLS
n = malloc(sizeof(int)*2);
n->digits = malloc(sizeof(int)*(strlen(str)+1));
n->length = strlen(str);

and I have a loop converting some characters from a string into their corresponding integer forms

for (c = starter; str[c] != '\0'; c++) {
i = str[c] - '0';
n->digits[(strlen(str) - c)] = i;
}

but when I run it, all that goes into digits is a bunch of random characters. I've even tried just storing some numbers that I type out manually, and it still comes out as a random character.

I'm sure this is really basic, but I have no idea what I'm doing wrong

>>57065966
what are you actually trying to accomplish here? at a high level i mean.

like, for each number represented in a character string, you want its integer representation in a growing array of ints? what's the end goal here?

or do you want to convert a number that's in a string to an actual int that you can manipulate.

I imagine you already checked you have enough ram?
On my Nexus 5 when I used to play with custom roms and so I used the busybox top command in the terminal app. Dunno if you have a terminal and for it to work the faulty process has to run in the background too but there are apps that check for unusual cpu usage.

You can also see in the battery log if something is using too much cpu time and battery.

Other recovery methods yield the same damn screen and unfortunately I only remember 2 of the 3 security questions (why do I need to know all 3 fuckkk).

i need to store a bunch of entered strings of numbers into different instances of int *digits so that i can add them together easily without worrying about overflow or really long calculations.

something along those lines. I'm kind of confused about the whole thing to be honest.

all i know right now is i need the numbers from the string in the array in the reverse order that they were originally typed out.

I used link related before https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zomut.watchdoglite but I think its mainly tailored for killing rather than diagnosing. There's also an app called 3c toolbox that includes a recording feature for diagnosing. Neither requires root but its preferrable to have it.

blocklists are placebo

>>57066218
yes

>>57066128
sounds pretty horrible.

first off, the size you're malloc'ing for n may work, but it's being done incorrectly. just 'n = malloc(sizeof(n))' would be better - HugeInteger contains a pointer, and it's possible depending on your architecture for sizeof(int) to be different to sizeof(int*) - int could be 4 bytes while pointers are 8 bytes, for example.

your logic for reversing the order looks wrong to me - say you just had the string "123" - strlen("123") would return 3, and you want the 1 to go to digits[2], whereas your code would put the 1 in digits[3].

have you stepped through in a debugger to watch what's happening line-by-line?

>>57066209
use a live usb/disk and edit grub from there. Installing Grub Customizer is prolly a good idea if you're a noob.

Check /flt/ for further help.

Neat

>>57066230
I haven't, my class never mentioned anything about debuggers...

turns out I was using the wrong conversion characters for my test print statements, so I'm at least getting numbers now...

I changed it to strlen(str) - (c+1) for "12345" and what goes into the array is

digits[0]=12386496
digits[1]=12386496
digits[2]=3
digits[3]=2
digits[4]=1

so what's going on with those first two? Am I still using malloc wrong?

thingken about getting an SSD.

>>>/g/ptg

>>57066315
No, I mean "will the motherboard make any use of the DDR2-800 over the DDR2-667"?

Both being full buffered, ECC

So I guess I should say PC2-6400F as a replacement for PC2-5300F to increase speed. I imagine the motherboard is limited to 667 and the 800 will only run at 667 but I'm new to this.

>>57066345
You have a few options.

A) Use backup and restore. You'll need an external drive large enough to contain the contents of your OS drive.

B) buy a drive cloner. I have a Sabrent cloner that was $35 on Amazon. As long as your SSD is at least the same size as your old drive this will work well.

C) backup all your data and do a clean install. Obviously you'll either need a cracker or an activation key for this option.

>>57066345
You are looking for an imaging solution, it will take some work to get up and running. I recommend Macrium, it's good and it's free.

You may be better off just installing a fresh version of windows though, ESPECIALLY if you never imaged your machine when you bought it.

>>57066333
i'm a little amazed they're having you even think about writing something in c without showing you how a debugger can let you go line-by-lne, as it's running, and what certain variables are set to in real time.

i just typed up my idea of how i'd do this, it seems to execute correctly for "12345" - www.tutorialspoint.com/compile_c_online.php?PID=0Bw_CjBb95KQMMGFMQjlYa1E4V1U

definitely needs more error checking, but i think it'll do the job. let me know if you have any questions.

>>57066379
Yes it should work, it will just underclock it to the maximum speed the motherboard supports.

Realtek audio chipset is buzzing with CPU activity. Games, notably GTAV, are unplayable because the buzzing is so loud over the game audio.

This is a common problem but I just can't figure out how to fix it on this machine. I just got it two days ago.

Windows 10 up to date, ASUS Sabertooth TUF Mark 1 mobo, i7-6700k, ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1080. Realtek ALC1150 audio chipset.

Realtek High Definition Audio Driver v 6.0.1.7541

I tried the default audio drivers that came with Windows. I tried the Realtek audio drivers and software that came on the mobo drivers CD, and I tried the drivers from the official Realtek website. No solution. All buzzing. I also tried moving the audio out jack around to see if it was the connection, and moved the audio cables away from power cables. Nothing helped.

Use /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random, it's MUCH faster.

Also from the urandom man page:

Stupid quesion here.
Since Moore's law is soon-to-be invalid, what will happen to processors?
If transistors can't be much more smaller to function properly, why not make the CPUs larger in order to fit more transistors?

Have been trying out photogrammetry, and some models require an immense amount of RAM, of which my laptop has few (6gb) and I can't afford to upgrade.
I have heard of Readyboost, however, and how much it helped in the old Vista days where most "vista-ready" rigs had less than the recommended amount of RAM, so I'm wondering if this would be able to help in my case?

There are some moments where shit really hits the fan and memory usage goes all the way up and leaves less than 100 MB free.

>>57065657
Is there a general site for info on how to unlock phones? Some I've looked up you need to pay, no thanks.

Tits unrelated

>>57067573

>>57067581

You have to glue them together with cum.

Is it worth installing an AV program at all anymore?

I browse the web with umaxtrix and few other security addons that really fuck with JS etc, so only things I want to run, run. When I download an exe, zip etc I hit it with MSE. I have enabled UAC to ask for admin password when I try to do something that required admin privileges.

Every now and then I install malwarebytes to run a scan, hasn't picked up anything in 4 years. What advantage would a real time AV provide me at this stage? It would slow operations by 15% or so, something i haven't had to deal with in a long time. Sandboxing or what ever it is each program might be useful, but as is, if I'm worried about a keygen etc, I tend to run it on a VM anyway.

>>57067579 >>57067608
You can probably boot up linux and see everything on it.
There are also programs that strip windows accounts of their password.
Either would work.

If I am wiiling to pay more for a more powerful, albeit non-efficient CPU, why isn't this OK?

I got the latest radeon crimson 16.10.1, where are the advanced settings that would open the catalyst center?

so I bought some wireless headphones, and they work fine with my phone

and for a while they worked fine with my laptop, but now the sound cuts out every few seconds and my laptop loses its connection to wifi

what gives

I have 16gb on both my home nas and pc, I have an extra stick of 8gb ram, which one deserves it more?

I have a 144hz monitor, a BenQ XL2340T
Is there any simple program or script where I can toggle the refresh rate between 60, 120, and 144? I have a program called Audio Switcher, it just adds a simple button in the taskbar, where when I click on it it toggles between my headphones and speakers.
For certain games 120hz (compared to 144) reduces/eliminates stuttering and jittering since its a multiple of 60. Dont wanna keep going through system menus every time I open said games.

>>57067849
How can any of us say?
Check the ram usage. Maybe they don't need it at all.

EXTREMELY stupid question, but hey, this is /sqt/.

I'm trying to run a game that blocks certain IPs from logging in. Is there some way to trick just that program without actually having to use a proxy/vpn? I'd use one but it's an online game and it absolutely kills online play, to play through a proxy/vpn

>>57068037
No. Unless there is some super stupid code you can't bypass that without a proxy/vpn.
There are VPNs specifically for 'gaming', though.

>>57068037
Depending on how your ISP operates, you may be assigned a new IP if you just switch off your modem for a few minutes.

>>57068037
Pretty much what you said is all you got. The only other option depends on how your ISP assigns your IP. It's entirely possible that you could reset your modem (not your router) and get a new public IP address.

The few service providers I've used have always had the same IP assigned regardless, but my friend with DSL could change his IP resetting his router.

>>57068052
Oh well. I've tried tons of different VPNs and Proxies, they're all honestly kind of the same. I even used AOL to give me an american IP for a while.

>>57068245
Yeah you're not gonna get much performance out of VPNs, especially free ones. I don't know why anyone would offer good bandwidth for free.

I've never used a paid VPN so I can't really vouch for them. I've used SpotFlux free version to play LoL during a routing issue they had and it was OK. IPVanish is apparently one of the better ones out there and it's only ~6 USD per month if you're really desperate.

i held off on windows for years because of little things, not the least of which was being apple to hit windows and get basic calculator results
then in windows 10 they finally supported it
something autoupdated a few weeks ago and now it doesn't work anymore
anyone have any idea? can't find anything online

>>57068301
I've actually had various friends (those that I want to play with) borrow me various paid VPN logins and they're actually all just as terrible. The only upside they have is that they usually don't have a data cap, or atleast a much higher one.

I think I'll just accept my fate and give up on trying to make it work somehow.

>>57068329
The easiest thing you can try is to just check what your boot order is. Even if your SSD isn't first in priority I don't know if it would cause problems but it's worth a try to have SSD first either way.

Second thing you can try is to enable "UEFI only" boot mode in the BIOS instead of "Legacy" or "both". Reminder UEFI boot only works with Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installed.

They clearly spent some effort on this because they made it work. How hard could it have been to make it use the actual calculator THAT ALREADY EXISTS instead of routing it through bing and making it yet another online-only feature?

I'm trying to understand the Windows Page File a bit more.

As I understand it, it's hard drive space you can set aside to have virtual RAM. Constantly gets overwritten with new data which is measured by "commit charge" if I'm getting my terminology right.

What would happen if my machine had, say, 4GB of actual RAM and I set my page file to 16GB? Would the page file or the RAM get used up first? And how would this affect performance?

Long story short, I am deep, deep innawoods because of my job. Because of my job, I need a lot of space left over on my HDD for when I need to collect data on the fly.
As such, I have no space for my manga, anime and vidya. my external hdd covers my animoo and manga, but I don't wan to spend my spare time completely on animoo and manga because I don't have a hell of a lot
so my stupid question is;
>can i play vidya from my external hdd? even though i'm forced to use a laptop because we're on the move constantly, it has the specs to play any modern game easily, but i'm afraid the slow ass load times, even with a good external hdd will shit all over my fps

Setting Win10's display language to Canadian English makes everything fucked up and causes the wrong words to go in the wrong spots in about half the settings menu.

Example: The section for Windows Defender is now called "Storage Overview", and the section for Windows Insider is called "Hey! Your device isn't set up to receive Insider preview builds." And that's the least fucked up it gets.

If you're lucky you've got a PSU with two or more 12V rails and one of them died.

> Can't afford to lose all my data.
Plug the harddrives in to another system and see if they are alive or not. It is that easy to know if they work and it's something else (PSU?).

If you do get the data off them then you should take this as a lesson: Regular backups seem like a waste of time until you actually need them.

My personal system: 3 USB sticks and 3 SD cards (3 home, 3 not home, switch regularly) for all my personal files (except personal video files) which always just contain the "current" snapshot and two external harddrives which contain 12 snapshots (every 2 months so 2 years).

If I was in your situation and both drives just died then I'd give zero fok's.

I just finished putting my laptop back together and I have two screws left. All holes are filled except for at least four on the motherboard.

Yesterday I posted about my T420 s battery life.

I have incredibly poor battery life, it lasts only 30-45 minutes running basic things like a text editor, terminals, and a web browser.

Specs are:

CPU -- Intel i5 2520m 3.2
Ram -- 8 GB
HDD -- 480 GB SDD with Debian 8.5 Jessie Stable, 1TB Windows 7 hard drive in disk bay
DE -- i3 desktop environment with xfce4

I installed powertop and tlp and have not seen any change in battery life.

Right now running acpi I get

Battery 0: Discharging, 63%, 04:12:01 remaining

But this will only last for 20-30 more minutes

what should i do, /g/?

Is there anyway to do stuff like set custom directories for the files of a certain torrent in the qbittorrent webui?

I've set everything up on a headless server with qbittorrent-nox myself, but so far the lack of functions that I can perform with the webui is severely limiting me. It only lets me set a default directory and then scans it for the files. This isn't ideal for me as I have certain files spread across a few drives that I would like it to seed 24/7.

I don't really care to get into any complex solutions, so if you either have a suggestion on how I can extend the capabilities of the webui or a suggestion for another torrent client that has powerful webui I can make use of, I'm all ears.

Could anyone help me diagnose a solution for the electronic noise/buzz I'm getting from my onboard sound? I posted earlier here >>57066408

Here's a video of the issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7VnfJ1BD_E

I've determined it's not audio drivers at fault. It's the worst when running CPU intensive games.

If I plug my headphones into the headphone jack, I hear the system audio crystal clear through my headphones, but the shrill noises persist through my speakers. If I plug my headphones into the front audio port on the back of the mobo, all the noise disappears entirely. This tells me it's probably an isolation issue because all of my equipment including the audio are plugged into the same surge protector on an ungrounded outlet. It's a three prong outlet it's just not grounded. Just moved into an old house, haven't updated electrical yet.

I have a mixer to test with just not another surge protector to isolate them from the rest of the equipment. Also at this room of the house, I only have this one outlet on this wall to test with. Others are unreachable.

>>57071268
Issue resolved. I was right. Adding the mixer plugged into a different outlet eliminated the noise. My setup just got a whole lot more convoluted (it's a DJ mixer) but at least I'm not hearing that shitty noise.

So I just finished doing a mobo/RAM upgrade last night. When I put everything back together and plugged in my mouse/keyboard/monitor, everything worked fine. Windows 10 booted and ubuntu (14.04) both booted fine.

This morning when I plugged in the rest of my peripherals and other monitor, I started having issues. So the system POSTs and I can use BIOS just fine (all peripherals are functional). When I try to boot into Win10 the screen goes blank and I lose power to my mouse/keyboard. When I boot into ubuntu, it gives me the error that my screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly and I have to run in low-graphics mode. The peripherals work fine but I'm stuck just the terminal.

Where do I start?

Anyone know which gyms are cool with me masturbating discreetly on the premises? I'm trying to work in an after-workout wank into my routine and for best results it needs to be done immediately after, ideally right there at the gym, so hoping this won't become an issue. As long as I do it in a relatively private area like the locker room or sauna or something is it ok in most places, or am I better off asking for permission beforehand?

Really having trouble updating Firefox on Linux 17.1, can't get it to automatically check for updates and this guide (http://libre-software.net/how-to-install-firefox-on-ubuntu-linux-mint/) I did follow isn't working out for me either. I'm unable to move the Firefox folder in the opt folder manually or by the terminal, once it prompts me for my password in the terminal I'm unable to type anything. Manually moving it won't work either since I don't have the permission for that and I can't figure out how to do that either. Is there another way I can do this?

I just did a fresh install of Windows 7 and there are no Wifi or Ethernet drivers

What should I do

Can I load the drivers from the manufactures website on a disc/USB and put them on my comp?

I also heard there are third party programs with many common drivers pre installed, should I try one of those?

>>57072339
If it's a laptop you should be able to find all of the drivers from the product page on the website of whatever manufacturer it is.Yes, USB or CD works.

>>57072339
Yeah, if you have another computer just download the file onto a usb and install it on the system. What I usually do is I have an external hdd with a linux distro where I can boot into it and mount the windows drive so I can download it straight to windows.

It's not my computer. It's prebuilt desktop from 2007 I'm fixing for some woman. It's it's really bad; missing drivers tons of viruses, it even had some kind of ransomware on it that encrypted all her files and corrupted some important shit. I can't even use the built in backup to transfer whatever documents that's left since that somehow doesn't work. So instead of dealing with all that I just manually transferred what I could and now I'm trying to find the OS so I can restore everything and start fresh. I don't wanna pirate anything since this family is really fucking rude and lying, so I just want to restore it and collect my money and not hear from them 3 months from now if they somehow undo it and get the not genuine popup

I'm using Ubuntu and Gnome. I used to have the x/close button go to the farthest pixel in the corner. I prefer it that way because I can close a window without aiming. I just go as far as it will go and click.

Now I've updated to 16.04 and it changed my buttons to these circle ones that don't go all the way to the corner pixel. Does anyone know what theme or settings to use to get the old behavior back?

The last time I fixed this I made a note about it for future reference. It said "run gnome-tweak-tool and change the Window and GTK+ theme to Adwaita". My GTK+ theme is already set to Adwaita and I don't see an option for a window theme. Is there a Window theme setting that is separate from the GTK+ theme? How do I find that?

Reason I ask is because I've heard an ssd only has so many writes before it goes. I don't want the trash to be the reason my ssd dies early.
