Alright got a new MSI RX 470, works fine and all but at random when I click (like maybe once a day) the screen will flicker then its back, the drivers use to crash like crazy until i uninstalled the MSI app thing.

The thing is I am running a pretty old TV (6years old?) via HDMI 1080p 60hz , Is it my TV or my new card, my old card (r9 270 never did this)

Because reasons i need to defrag my MicroSD, any program will do right?
Defraggler for example.

Three small/stupid questions

1) Is there a sub £600/$800 non-shit laptop with a 17" display

2) Best way to dual boot without the OS of each drive (both SATA) having access to the other? Physical switch? Encryption?

3) Can I get a decent volume from my 250ohm DT770s without shit sound q from my Note 4 without damaging the headphone jack or micro USB sockets?

Which OS ? By default windows can't do shit with a linux partition
In linux there's various way to do it. By default, only root can mount the partition, or if the distribution allow any user to mount it you can forbid them.
It really depends what you're trying to do and why.

>>57194894
I wonder how much they spend on gas for those shitboxes

I think I've understood the i2p faq correctly, and this appears to work (added the wording from the faq followed by the rules, in order, and changed my unique port number to PORT):

# Outbound UDP from the random port noted on the configuration page to arbitrary remote UDP ports, allowing replies
-A OUTPUT -p udp --sport PORT -j ACCEPT
# Outbound TCP from random high ports to arbitrary remote TCP ports
-A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 9000:31000 -j ACCEPT
# Inbound UDP to the port noted on configuration page from arbitrary locations
-A INPUT -p udp --dport PORT -j ACCEPT
# Inbound TCP to the port noted on configuration page from arbitrary locations
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport PORT -j ACCEPT
# Outbound UDP on port 123, allowing replies
-A OUTPUT -p udp --sport 123 -j ACCEPT

But since I have an i2p user and all, would perhaps this be better?

-A INPUT -j ACCEPT -m owner --uid-owner i2p 
-A OUTPUT -j ACCEPT -m owner --uid-owner i2p

Is the former more secure because it doesn't allow a user free pass through the firewall as it likes? Or is the latter more secure because only ports used by the user will be open at any moment?

Also, I'm assuming NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED state on all, but perhaps some should just be ESTABLISHED or something, like the outbound rule for tcp on the range of ports 9000-31000?

How the fuck a update can install if i have automatic updates off, and windows update service disabled?

My monitor is 1080p

If I set a wallpaper at a higher resolution size to be my BG would it look good?

Screen size is like 23"

>>57194325
Yeah, provided the program can be forced to defrag an SD. Or copy all files off it, format it, and copy all files back. Writing new files sequentially after a fresh format and not modifying or deleting any files should result in zero fragmentation (better than any defrag program will give), with less writes and less time.

I'd also question exactly why you need to defrag a flash memory device. The only reason I can think of is if you're using something like RMprepUSB to put multiple ISOs on it. Many such setups require the ISOs to be contiguous -- in which case Degfraggler's feature to defrag specific files would be really helpful since you don't need to do the whole drive.

>>57195280
you'll know because you wont get a display

no to the last question

>>57195248
Because those are just flags in a file somewhere. The OS and its applications don't have to respect that flag.

>Service turned off
They could have turned it back on.

It is also could have been a cached update from before you turned stuff off.

Or they just choose to push an update which is a stated capability for windows 10.

>>57195298

It would resize it to 1080p. It might look a little crisper than a 1080p native wallpaper, but only if the native one was JPEGged or resized poorly.

>>57195294
Then updates are not disabled. Or perhaps you ran something that pulled in a standalone update installer for one specific update it needed. Those install separate from normal automatic updates.

You should perhaps name your new node in main newNode or tmpNode rather than head. You're accessing that temp node places where you should be accessing the real head node in your actual linked list.

Also there's no reason to use malloc for your temp node. Just do like

node tmpNode;

to allocate it on the stack.

I'm torn between majoring in Computer Science and Data Science. Both are equally interesting to me and the future of DS looks really promising, but so does the future of CS.

Help me make a decision /g/.

>>57195929
You likely can. However you'll have to install drivers if it does work. If one machine has its SATA set to IDE and the other to AHCI, you'll have to apply a registry fix to make it redetect that before you move it. And if it's legit Windows you will need to activate again. If it's legit OEM Windows, you won't be able to activate again without entering a new key -- or of course go the pirate route and install Daz Loader / kmspico.

I'm not even a CS major, but they make physics majors take CS1 at my university, and it's fucking torture.

>they make physics majors take CS1 at my university, and it's fucking torture
What the fuck do they have in CS1 that's torture to you? Calc 2 was harder than CS1.

Here is the thing.

>Windows 7 is acting funny so i wanna reinstall
>I cant plug 2 HDDs at the same time but i have to backup everything i have

Its a 600GB HDD and i have more or less 180GB of important stuff to backup.

Can i create another partition, move all that to D: and reinstall windows on C:?

If I'm backing up my pc to an external hdd, do I need to add Recovery (D:) to the list of items I want to backup? I have •EFI system partition, •windows system and •recovery environment selected by default from the system image but Recovery wasn't selected already. It's from a laptop running win8.1.

>>57196080
calc 2 is piss easy compared to CS1

Any good public tracker aggregators out there like torrentproject.se?

>>57196154
Again, what the fuck did they have you do in CS1 that was harder than calc 2?

I remember my CS1 class shrank a few times through the semester as some students dropped it and changed to non CS majors. Everything was in C at my school. I recall some students dropping it when we got to array indexing, again at recursion, and again at pointers.

None of those are that difficult, though pointers can be a pain in the ass to debug sometimes. Arrays and pointers are only hard until you start looking at memory as a one dimensional block of storage with a byte or element at each address. Recursion is straight out of math, but with the added catches that you can make infinite recursion accidentally, and that you'll get a segfault if you recurse too deep.

someone please help me i am running debian 8 and i have a simple 2-desktop speaker setup and sound is only outputting from the left speaker... i have pulseaudio installed... what do i do?

Are you/were you overclocking with the MSI app? What's the native resolution/refresh rate of the TV(it's not always the advertised rate).

>>57196241
I think my university's version of CS1 might be your CS2.

We went over arrays and pointers briefly in the first week, and then recursion a few weeks later, besides that it's nothing but algorithms, complexity, data structures, and ridiculously long and complex assignments.

>>57196276
1. Make sure your problem is software. Plug the speakers into a phone and see if sound plays out both sides, or plug headphones into the same speaker jack.
2. See if there's a balance control in your audio properties thing.
3. Check ALSA level volumes with alsamixer.

>>57194817

2) Full disk/volume encryption

3) Small/portable amplifier or DAC

I updated the nvidia drivers today to 375.57, and now, when I turn off my computer, and then turn it again, the boot will loop once.
It happened before with 372, so I used a restore point last time. But this time I want to find a solution to this problem, instead of using a restore point again.

Could it be because I never updated Windows?

>>57196377
2) Thanks, I'll look into it. I wasn't sure this was going to be a proper option, but your answer suggests it's possibly handled by the drive itself which sounds good to me.
3) I should clarify, will a suitable amp require its own battery?

>>57195152
I think txtpostnumber changed to postnum

>>57194817
2) Depends on the OSes you want to dual boot. If the one you want to hide the other from (or both) are Windows, and you're booting in BIOS mode and not UEFI, try using GRUB2 and look into its gptsync command.

I've done this to put more than 4 Windows installs on an old BIOS booting machine for testing purposes. You partition your disk from Linux, with GPT, using either parted, gparted, or gdisk. Then you install GRUB. You can even use a FAT partition as /boot, for GRUB's files, dunno about NTFS.

You use gptsync to control which partitions are visible in the protective MBR, and write your grub.cfg to set up the partitions for each OS when it boots. If one is Linux, simply omit the gptsync command and don't mount the other OS drives if you don't want to; Linux understands GPT even when booted from BIOS.

Have a small server with a few loonix clients hooked up through LDAP, everything is working great.

How can I send a shell command to all the clients at once? More specifically, I want to install a program in every client using apt.

I've tried mpich2 but it can't distribute super-user commands to the clients.

>>57195199
ATX/MOLEX//ETC Extension cables mounted to a housing basically.

Seems kind of pointless, you'd still have to bundle up/cram the exiting cables somewhere. Unless you clip/shorten them before the extension connectors.

>>57196276
Are you using a stereo cable or a mono one?
A stereo headphone jack will have three pins on it.

>>57196449
3) Some of them will run off USB power. If your phone supports USB OTG it should be able to supply power out of the USB port.

>>57196646
But can a Note 4 give enough for something that would get a decent volume? I recall something about the micro USB only being 2.0.

It probably wouldn't have even occurred to me to ask if the unrelated searches had led to me discovering it was 3/3.1 or some other thing.

>>57196530
Write a small script that SSH's into all the clients and executes the shell command.

I am trying to search for files that I know are in a subfolder of a directory and it kept failing. So I recorded myself doing a test, pic related, of trying to search and it still failing.

What am I doing wrong? I need to find these files.

Should I include humour in my programming assignment? My code is correct and functions but I don't know if they will take it extremely seriously or not.

Sorry if I'm missing something really obvious, but I'm trying to add run-assoc.el as my first plugin to emacs.

I have read the wiki, and done the following:

>Added 'run-assoc.el' to my '~/emacs.d/elisp/' folder

And my init.el is as follows:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elisp/")

(require 'run-assoc)
(setq associated-program-alist
      '(("mpv" "\\.mp3$")
    ("mpv" "\\.flac$")
    ("mpv" "\\.ogg$")
    ("mpv" "\\.avi$")
    ("mpv" "\\.mp4$")
    ("mpv" "\\.wmv$")
    ("mpv" "\\.wkv$")
    ("mpv" "\\.mov$")
    ("mpv" "\\.flv$")
    ("mpv" "\\.webm$")
    ("feh -F -Z" "\\.jpg$")
    ("feh -F -Z" "\\.png$")
    ("feh -F -Z" "\\.jpeg$")
    ((lambda (file)
       (browse-url (concat "file:///" (expand-file-name file)))) "\\.html?$"))) 

If I understand correctly, this should mean that when I press C-ret on files in dired, they should open with the program associated in the init.el

But when I do this, the files still open as lines of characters, rather than with mpv or feh as I've defined.

please can someone explain where I've gone wrong? Does the associated program list have to go within run-assoc instead of init.el? and if so, where in the code?

Thank you,

Your PSU manufacturer should list the power available to each connector in a simple table, either on the product page or in a manual.

As someone who often uses the greek alphabet, it is inconvenient that i can't see the letter "χ" for example

Whenever I try to install any Nvidia driver for my GTX 1070 on Linux Mint with Cinnamon, it can't open the file using "the Western (ISO08859-15) character encoding. I don't know what this means. Whenever I try to change the "character encoding" to the only other option, (Current Locale UTF-8) it doesn't work either. No download I have seen has worked to fix this. Please help.

>>57198671
if by sluggish you mean shitty, no not really. you can tweak some shit but if you're looking at 2 monitors, one with double the pixel density of the other, you're going to notice the difference pretty much 99% of the time.

Im thinking about upgrading my graphics card and have a question.
I currently have 3 monitors + 1 tv connected, if placebo or not I get the feeling that i drop fps the more screens active (seems reasonable too me). So I usually play with only the main screen on.

If I buy a new gfx card, can I still leave the old one in and run the secondary monitors off it and only have the main one on the new? Or do I need to like SLI to of the same cards?

Alright so suddenly and randomly I've been getting hard power off crashes, but I haven't changed anything in the build or downloaded anything suspicious to my knowledge.

Basically I'll just occasionally (more often while playing games?) have my computer hard reset instantly.

I'm running an i5-3570K, a R9390, 8 gigs of ram and I have no fucking idea why this has started all of a sudden. Any help would really be appreciated.

I'm using Firefox and just recently I experienced a change where if I click the back or forward button, it works but it always ends up with an additional drop down list after loading which kinda fucks up my ability to scroll up or down. I am unsure of what to search for such a specific problem, tried using some key words like back forward button drop down yada yada but I failed.

I'm not even sure if this is something that changed due to FF updating secretly or me pressing a button somewhere that toggled this ridiculous mode. Can anyone help out? It started around 1-2 days ago max.

Something, probably windows, seems to be filling up my SSD rapidly lately. windirstat showed windows taking up more than 80gb of my 120 gb SSD.

Running disk cleanup on it, I see it free up space on my disk space window on rainmeter, and then i see something rapidly eating up the space before disk cleanup even finishes. Any guesses on whats eating up the space or how to see what is?

As I run disk cleanup,

>>57200456
Start -> type resmon -> press enter -> switch to disk tab. Should give you information about which programs are reading or writing on disk.

>>57200456
>>57200491
Also it's probably writing stuff like cache in %temp%, you can try comparing the folder size before and after to verify. If you have a 2nd hard drive you can try redirecting temp to your mechanical drive.

This shit is really confusing, i guess I'm really stupid.

On the netcat man page, it says that it's an error to use -l in conjunction with -p, -s, or -z.
What does it mean by this? Every single time I've used netcat I've done

 nc -l -p $port 

. Am I misinformed?

>>57201081
The main benefit of SSD is access latency, not raw speed. You'll get a nice boost in snappiness even at sata2, you'll only see the difference in large read or write operations.

>>57201204
With -p you're specifying a port to connect to and with -l you're declaring that you want netcat to wait for connections. So you're declaring a port that you'll never use for anything.

If you want to specify a port on your computer that others connect to then remove -p from that command.

Digial audio output (S/PDIF). Either an optical toslink connector or RCA with digital audio support. If your motherboard doesn't support these then you can buy an USB soundcard for that.

You can also plug it by using 3,5 mm analog connectors on your motherboard but then you'd have to use your motherboard's DAC which might not be that good.

WMI Provider Host is #1 followed by Battle.net Helper.

Don't think it's Windows' bloat that's causing the usage. The usage spikes for no reason. Games run at Ultra 60+ fps only to come crashing down to 10 fps for a few minutes.

Initially this phenomenon occurred when my CPU went from 3.6ghz down to 2.66Ghz for no reason causing stutter in games but since I've turned off QuietnCool, C6, C1E and Thermal Control which if anything have made the problem worse but at least I'm retaining a solid 3.9Ghz.

In games, Overwatch for example will be at 40% usage then it suddenly for no reason goes up to 60% usage which accompanied by small background programs like HWMonitor makes the CPU an unfaltering 100% utilization.

I've tried googling it but I can't really find something that works.

I installed Windows 7 on a PC and then installed all of the drivers, but I can't get it on the internet through my wireless network. It does connect to the network, but it doesn't get internet access for some reason. All other devices works fine with the wireless network. I also tried setting up a mobile hotspot through my phone and when connecting to that it got internet access just fine.

My hands are getting cold and numb from my forearms and bellow from the chair .

Why can't I sit on the PC for long hours anymore?
Do I need to raise myself with a chair pillow? (Desk in new and feels slightly tall).

I do'nt know a ton about PCs desu, I'm here to ask questions mostly, but I've spent years dealing with fucking recording programs.

OBS is the one I liked the most. It looks complicated at first, but once you configure it, you don't really have to mess with it. It's free, great codecs=small filesizes but good quality, great for streaming. Spend an hour to learn how to use it and you're good to go. I don't think you can press a hotkey to save the last five minutes with it though.

I want to host stuff at home. What's the best way to link a domain name to my server ?

Will anyone please redpill me on Android simulators for Windows? Every mention of "Bluestacks" on the archive claims botnet/ malware without any elaborating.

Sorry if "redpill" implies bad. I never meant bad. I just want insight. I want an Android simulator that won't learn of my Play Store password, nor give me malware otherwise.

>>57203463
responding to myself but "Android emulator" is probably the hot term for this, sorry.

Bro, thanks for the reply. I'm scared of what people speaking poorly of Bluestacks could mean, though. I hope Google emails me if ever my account is logged-into from an alien IP, or something. Might go with Bluestacks after your rec, but I'm still paranoid.

How long until apps no longer update for Android Marshmallow? My Nexus 7 2013 doesn't have any further support.

The AVG antivirus has a total delete feature, for files you want to see off your computer forever, no matter if clean or infected; is there an alternative to this program? I already have an antivirus but it doesn't have such feature.

>>57203611
Hey, I'm pulling the trigger on Bluestacks. I read part of the wiki article on it, and it says:

>The software is free to download and use, later disabling itself and presenting users with the option to install sponsored apps or purchase a $2/month premium subscription.[4] This is not mentioned before downloading or during install.

Here's hoping it doesn't fuck me through this, knowing my password, or any other way. It seems like a really fuccboi option no matter how i look at it though. But if it works, it works. Not sure if it works though, for what I'd need it for, anyway.

My professor let me and my friend install GNU/Linux on school PCs.
He'll install Ubuntu on it (he just recently started using it, he still calls his OS Linux).
Normally I would choose Arch but internet speed is ~120KB, obviously not enough to install in 45 minutes.
Which one would you recommend?
Pacman is prefered, but not depending on internet that much is my no. 1 priority.

When I google "my ip" the supposed IP of mine that is displayed is a horrible abomination with colons and letters like "as1d:asd6" instead of the usual "192.168.0.0"-like. What happened? No I will not post it, sorry.

Bought an Insignia Bluetooth adapter for my PC and after installing their software, the PC would bluescreen due to usb3mon.sys every time I plugged it in. Would I have better luck trying a slightly more expensive one on Amazon (my employee discount gets it for $4, Amazon has them for $8), or should I just try cleaning out / fixing my drivers?

Just built a new computer. speedtest is saying I have 175 down, which is way more than I should. Downloads are starting rapid fast, but then just slow down and stop completely after a couple seconds. Is this a computer or an ISP problem?

>>57205259
ISP for sure, some ISP offer a turbo boost for the first seconds of a download, that's why Speedtest will show an inaccurate speed.

>>57204377
This is getting really confusing. Can anyone with a fresh Windows 10 install tell me what happens if you create a folder named 刑の字? Do you get 刑の字 or do you get question marks?

I bought an internal HDD as a back up for my current computer. Someone told me that copying and pasting my old HDD into my new one won't be enough to actually pick up where I left off if my old one dies. What do?

>>57205321
It used to do this with my old computer as well, except it wouldn't stop the download, it would just knock me offline occasionally, with this one, it's just slowing the download to a halt.

>>57205327
You would need to "clone" the hdd only if you have your operating system in it, if it's just data it's not needed.

>>57205338
Are you connecting through Wifi? If that's the case try setting your wifi manually to the slowest rate.

>>57205344
Can I use back up and restore on windows to make a clone?

>>57205355
Nah, this is a wired connection.

Whenever I try to burn a CD/DVD I get an error, after few minutes from starting.

What do you mean? I thought it was pretty clear.

Computer A and Computer B are connected via a network bridge, so that computer B can use Computer A's wifi connection.

What I wanna do is take files from Computer A and back them up on Computer B, by using the network folder, so that I can access Computer A from computer B, like a network drive.

The problem is, I can't see Computer A from Computer B. I've looked, and apparently there's a difference between ICS, which is what I want to do, and a plain network bridge, which is what I'm currently doing.

I guess the question is: how do I turn this network bridge into a ICS connection?

Is it OK to clonezilla all of an HDDs contents onto a 1 TB SSD?

>>57205811
Thanks anon. If I clone my HDD into another already installed HDD will I need to do anything else if my old HDD were to suddenly die on me? Or could I just restart my computer and it'll detect another usable drive?

What diagnostic tool should I use to test my HDD that I believe is failing?

HD tune, or anything that will read SMART status

>>57206006
You will need to restore the backed up image of the old HDD from the new HDD.
Beware though that restoring an image to HDD WILL WIPE all data on that HDD.

What is a good free as in freedom or free as in beer video editor?

>>57206506
I mean once my main hard drive dies I won't be able to turn on my PC due to there being no OS on the second drive. How will I do anything if the PC won't turn on? The back up drive doesn't have anything on it, I'm using it only for back up

>>57206746
Live USB

>>57206746
You boot a live session of clonzilla and use the restore option.
You're then promoted to select from where to restore and to where to restore.

>>57206979

>>57207168
Fair enough, I considered that, but then what? I was an early adopter of Win7 and I never looked back. I skipped Vista and 8.
Then I used Xubuntu and I needed to use a couple of softwares from Windows (Acrobat and some other book making stuff). Jesus Christ, the problems I got. Now I'm studying LaTeX to eliminate the need for Acrobat. It's difficult to use, but at least it works.

What's currently the best motherboard for a CPU that has a 1150 LGA socket? Currently have a Maximus VII Hero but it's crapping out.

It's best with the lowest stable voltage, right?
