What the best solution for automated backups on Windows 7? I don't need full system backups, just a few key files, maybe up to 1GB max. Little things like my bookmarks, my KeePass database, a .txt file I keep for notes, and my most recent game saves. I have a spare HDD that I'm going to partition to keep disk images of my smaller drives, which will have a few GB left over. That would cover drive failure, and I also have a handful of Raspberry Pis that I could leave at a friends house for an off-site backup, or I could rent a cheap VPS.

I'm also paranoid about the gubbmint, so I need to encrypt whatever I'm doing.

I disassembled my old laptop. Are there any uses for the parts inside? I know I can use the hard drive but how about the rest?

This is probably a kooky idea.

But if i have both my monitor and TV plugged into my computer, but don't want to use them both at once (to minimise faffing around with cables) is there any software mechanism that'll let me switch outputs between the one hooked up to my monitor or TV

Or since they are both 1080, will mirroring be more simple and effective?

Which version of cyanogen?

>>57112663
Those numbers make me think you're looking at RAM and VRAM, not VRAM and VRAM.

Reposting from my thread yesterday that no one replied to.

When one is picking a GPU or CPU, the best course of action is to consult the benchmarks obviously to see how it performs in the games he wants to play and whatnot.

But here comes the problem.

Aren't new drivers, all memes aside, constantly being released to make the cards run better?
So if someone makes a benchmark right after a card comes out and it runs like crap, doesn't that kind of mislead the consumers?

What I would like to know is whether benchmarking sites tend to do some benchmarks when the card is released and then call it quits or whether they continuously update and redo their benchmarks to objectively show the current state of the CPU or GPU.

If there are such sites, which are they? Which ones only do one benchmark and call it quits and which continuously update their benchmarks?

kobo has the best format support but their quality control leaves something to be desired

>>57112763
Theoretically, yes, that's an issue. In practice, if you aren't dealing with the bleeding edge, I wouldn't worry. When was the last time you remember updating chipset drivers? And all the GPUs in the test would be running on the same version of the drivers, and you tend to see huge increases in performance for all cards when they make new drivers to address specific games, not just the latest architecture(Although, yes, the newer ones might improve more... But realistically, not by much). And if you ARE dealing with bleeding edge, well, now you know why it's called that.

Barring flat out huge problems, benchmarks aren't WRONG, they just might not show as big of a performance difference at release as they might when all the cards involved reach EOL.

Please help.

I also find info such as this
>Because of its higher spinning speed (7200RPM compared to 5400RPM), it will be noisier, consume more power and have a higher operating temperature. Even if Toshiba doesn't mention it, we wouldn't advise running these drives on a 24x7 schedule - some website

So according to this a 7200 drive is not to be used as a main one? This is news to me (I have an 850 evo SSD for main though).

You'll probably be fine in most cases with your 1070 at 1440p max, some games are less forgiving though.

144hz if you can stand most being tn and having worse colors

1440p IPS if you do do more than videogaymes and can appreciate good color accuracy

I'd go with backblaze for reliability stats. It is my bible.

https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-reliability-q3-2015/

For non-OS storage, I currently use and would highly recommend HGST. Backblaze and a lot of people you'll speak to seem to agree, and if they are not, its WD red series drives. Both are renound for their reliability, possibly because they are technically the same company. Either way I guess. No firm preference on the SSD front, though while doing on the road breakfix for [EnterpriseLaptopOEM] I would see far less micron than intel or samsung drives, despite the former having a fuckhueg install base as compared to the latter two. I would buy Micron if they pop up in your hunting. I do have a 6 year old OCZ Agility 120 GB that has been in a daily drive laptop the whole time. Make of that what you will.

As to space, hard to tell. I just buy as much as I can. If it means saving for an extra few months so you can afford 4TB instead of 2TB, then do it fgt. the 4TB's will be cheaper in a few months anyway.

> So according to this a 7200 drive is not to be used as a main one?
For main (OS) storage, SSD, hands down. An SSHD would be the closest I'd let mechanics get to my OS. I used a Seagate SSHD in a work asset which (corporate bloat aside) felt as fast as an SSD in terms of usability, but I just prefer 100% solid state on my own machines. I'm fucking wet for my first NVMe storage.

i have no backup computer and i need it for work, so sending the whole memory back under warranty is not possible.

what should i do? buy the single 8gb module and use it in dual channel, even though it's CL9 (vs my CL10)? get the 4x2gb and have 8gb dual chanel + 8gb single channel? or get the 8x2gb kit and have 16gb dc + 8gb sc?

That entirely depends. Owning pets, keeping it on the ground, running it all day, or just living in a dusty environment are all factors that make it worse--the more of them apply, the more often you should dust.

My mouse broke.
When I click the mouse wheel it doesn't do anything, it still scrolls fine but I can't easily open new tabs now.

I was using a Steel Series Rival, before that a Razer Deathadder and before that the Logitech meme mouse with the circles on it.
They all broke after a while.

What's a mouse that will last me longer?

The only thing I really want is those two buttons on the side that let you go back and forth in your browser, I like those.

hm i know with ram its because you have dual channel / multi channel something so program a will show 2x 500 vs 1000 in program b.

4x 1387 =5548 so maybe thats an explanation ?

fyi i have no idea and am just thinking out loud, what video card has a 5ghz clock ?

Does anyone have any suggestions how to fix this please? I'm not very comfortable rummaging around inside my case trying to fix the fan since I don't know exactly what is wrong with it.

make sure the CPU fan is actually connected to the CPU fan connector, check your motherboard's manual for an overview of the fan connectors on the board.

I've got a linux server and a chromebook. I want to use gimp on the chromebook.

I heard there's something called X Forwarding; I want to forward a video stream of gimp to an HTML5 video tag. and communicate with it via my mouse input. Can this be done?

>>57116773
>Where can I get a legit win7 key?
Microsoft.

>>57116848
I do get dust and bread crumbs but no drinks on my stuff. I am good at that.

Ok, I do have a good lamp. Let's say I don't need backlit.
What do I get for $50-60?
I was going to pull the trigger on a Corsair K40 but they say the keys have too much resistant.

>>57116838
Pretty good but it is not available anymore in the UK. I can vouch for the Sidewinder series, I have a X5 mouse since 2009. Still works. But it is pigfat.

Is it bad to pull out broken toenails?

Sometimes one of mine will split and I'll pull out the smaller part with pliers but I'm not sure if this is making it more prone to break again.

>>57116902
wtf no.
X Forwarding is for displaying X11 applications on a client while the X server and app runs on a remote server
throw away your chromebook and get a real laptop

>>57116919
it can lead to sharp edges being left at the edges which then grow into the flesh and cause ingrown toenails.
Clip nails straight, and only cut the white part.

>>57116922
Literally the only thing my chromebook can't do that I need it to is gimp, and there are other options to fix that. 99% of my computing is done via web browser or my linux server. Desktop linux is pointless for me.

So the client can't be a web browser?

>>57116867
Why is this more expensive than a G402? What gives?

no
the client computer does the rendering, not the server.

someone? pls?

If you run out of RAM, your FPS will be unplayably low.

>>57116964
I think they discontinued a bunch of their old good mice

On Amazon you can pay 150 for an mx18 or 230 for a G500 if you want a new one

Is the G402 any good at all?

>>57117896

>>57117901
Okay, and then I just write the binary file to my hdd?

>>57117938
stock fans are garbage.
Yes, proper cooling will allow you to max out the CPU no problem, even over a long time.

>>57117942
yes, look into what the "dd" Unix utility does.

>>57117962

thanks for the info. I never needed more cooling than stock fan, I barely get high loads on CPU

>>57117942
you can put it wherever. I'd throw it on an old hard drive or an external if you just want it for safe keeping

>>57111901

There are plenty of external drives that have company software to automatically backup when any changes are detected in size of the source folders. If you want to keep it local to your machine, windows 7 does have an backup scheduler that allows you to choose which directories you want to backup. I prefer the external drive options though, for example my WD hdd stays off and whirrs up when my backup folder is changed, reduction or expansion, and the software let's me know when the back up is complete before powering down the unit again. As for encryption, use TrueCrypt and write your key down somewhere safe, a safety deposit box at a bank for example or a personal safe.

You don't have to compile everything from the source. You could install firefox-bin instead. Libreoffice, for me, took like 30 minutes to compile and firefox only took about 7 minutes (both from source). The entire purpose of compiling from the source is to compile programs with specific USE flags to get rid of parts of programs you don't want or add functionality to it.

Hell, you don't even have to use portage if you don't want. You could even install another package manager and simply use portage to update the kernel/OS/other package manager.

Yeah I'd probably go for one without sniper button

My current mouse has something similar, but a small button on the top below the mousewheel that sometimes gets me paranoid if I used it on accident or not

The only thing I ever used it for was when I made crude drawings in MS paint

What browser should I actually be using? I've tried chromium, but it doesn't seem to open gifvs or certain webpages. I was able to customize firefox, but it definitely seems slower.

>>57119452
>gifv
it's just a HTML page with an MP4 linked inside

>>57119452
>gifvs
come on kiddo

How inefficient would be an OS with web-based interface? Web-based as in the OS would be just an internet browser combined with regular OS and would render all the interface using locally stored web pages.

>>57118667
Anybody?

>>57119452
The Chromium build you have probably doesn't have H.264 support compiled in, hence why gifv isn't playng.

>>57119489
inefficient, because DOM is a nightmare and FirefoxOS tried this and failed

also consider an asus rog mouse, they have user replaceable switches so you don't have to buy a new one once they eventually shit the bed. i bought pic related after my logitech g1 died and couldn't be happier, fits my manlet hand perfectly. they have meme tier glowing led lights that fortunately can be easily disabled via software.

My parents have a ZTE LTE router (ZTE MF910)

The connection in the house is absolutely horrendous, but when I take it for a drive, the closer I get to Oslo, the faster it gets.

At home (about 30km away) we get something like 2-3 Megabits per second, while it gets all the way up to 40 the closer I get to the capital.

I assume the house is located in some pocket where the signal is a lot weaker.

Any idea how much would something like this antenna in the pic would help the situation? Is it worth buying?

>>57119616
so you couldn't find the datasheets?
Without them, you won't know. Could be completely different chips in the same package.

>>57119663
There are datasheets all over, but they're all for the FSQ510. Nothing specifies any significance of the top row characters.

>>57119685
Just batch ID? That's what I was figuring since no datasheets referenced this number. Awesome. Thank you!

recently my torrent upload speed fucking tanked, and i have no idea why
speedtest.net says i have ~15 Mb/s up, but I'm seeding at ~50 kb/s, with occasional spikes, sometimes up to ~1 Mb/s.
of course, i thought this was because of leeches having low download speed, so to test it out i downloaded literally the first thing i saw on TPB's top 100 video list; download completed a couple hours ago, but i'm still only uploading at 50-100 kb/s.
i've checked my client's settings and speed itself is not limited, but maybe some other setting is affecting it.

what could it be?

>>57119656
Or the LTE tower is placed in/near Oslo and you're just too far away.
A better antenna might help. Keep in mind that radio is getting near the black magic level of counter intuitive behavior so it might also make it worse.

>>57119654
Wikileaks?

>>57119616
They are chips of identical function.

If the new one doesn't fit in the old one's spot, make sure the pins aren't bent at a different angle. Usually when DIP parts ship the pins are flexed a little outwards and need to be re-straightened to point directly down before they will slot into a PTH array.

Any book/youtube recommendations to pass the network+ and security+ compTIA exams?

Tell your parents to cancel ATT and go with a real ISP

I have a hypothetical security question. Say an attacker has physical access to my computer for an hour, but can't open it and mess with the hard drive directly. And the bios is password protected and I set it up to not allow booting from disk, usb, or network. Assume also that they don't have time to brute force the password. Would I be safe in such a situation from them loading a malicious OS/program or from them stealing my data? Would using those bios settings be worth it or are they easily bypassed?

Should i buy a new i5-4690, or keep my current G3258 and get good cooling, and a new motherboard to overclock it? (My current motherboard is really shitty. Can't OC, can't use most good processors.) Also, how good does the cooling need to be to overclock this shit to around 4.8 or so?

>>57119728
Could be your ISP. Try a different torrent client first like the other anon said, then try this:
http://www.howtogeek.com/165481/how-to-test-if-your-isp-is-throttling-your-internet-connection/

>>57119767
Cant get proper wired Internet, sadly, because when my parents moved in, they didnt ask for wired Internet and the landlady now refuses to share.

And there is no real alternative, since the ISP has a pseudo - monopoly in the whole country and basically owns the infrastructure.

I'm fugged

>>57119511
is there a way to fix that? doesn't seem like any chromium builds have it

>>57119795
What is your current motherboard? I'd rather buy i5-4690 and use stock cooling than buy a new mobo and cooling for overclocking a G3258.

What does a degree in Business: Information Systems offer?

I just watched this video, and it made my decision alot easier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6LUufXCPDM

How do I set up an object storage server like CEPH in my home?

Details:

I want to use this to abstract away hard disks. I want to be able to randomly buy and add disks to the server, growing slowly and surely but unpredictably. I can't have limitations like all disks having to be the same size and all these ludicrous RAID and zfs gotchas. I just want all my files under a single namespace. I can have multiple filesystems but then I have to track im which fs my files are and it becomes shit

>>57120073
try a different device using the same internet connection, see what happens

>>57120102
works just fine on my main pc
and now that i think about it, it's not really that my speed suddenly lowered, it's that i got this laptop a couple days ago and then noticed the change
call me a retard or something, but i didn't think about it at all when i made my first post

>>57120073
Oh, I didn't notice that you said upload speed specifically. In that case it might be because your router isn't set up for port forwarding, making it harder for downloaders to connect to you.

Go here and find a tutorial for your router. Forward the port(s) that your torrent client is using for incoming connections.
https://portforward.com/router.htm

>>57120158
that's what /sqt/ is for, mate, we're all retarded here

>>57120171
didn't change anything
do i have to restart my pc or router?

>>57120309
Yeah, restart the router. No need to restart the PC. But if that still doesn't work then I might have been wrong about the needing to forward the port.

>>57120081
Ok but where do I find them?

>>57120393
new developments
i've read up a bit, and apparently my ISP is transitioning from ipv4 to ipv6
but ssome services (including port forwarding) aren't working on ipv6 yet
guess i'll send them an email and ask to use ipv4 instead

now why the fuck does it work on my main pc

>>57120534
>now why the fuck does it work on my main pc
And both computers are behind the same router? No idea. That's odd.

>>57120534
Maybe your main pc is using ipv4 and the laptop is using v6? I bet you could disable ipv6 on the laptop to test that theory. And of course, make sure that the port forwarding is going to your laptop's local ip address.
