/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

So when I was growing up the kit down the street with way too fucking much money had a switch on his television that allowed him to switch between all his consoles (and this fucker had em all let me tell you).

I want something like this for the modern day. My television has two HDMI inputs but that's not enough for all my devices. Obviously I can switch the cables out, I do it all the time, there is no reason I need my Blu Ray player, HTPC, and Xbox 360 and whatever else hooked up at the same time, but I had back surgery not to long ago and aside from that its a huge pain in the dick.

So I don't know whats its called, and I don't know what to search for.

Like if you have 4HDMI devices to choose from but using one HDMI input and you can switch between them.

What the fuck is this called and do you have any of them you'd recommend.

My professor let me and my friend install GNU/Linux distro on PC. He chose Ubuntu (he's new to GNU/Linux). I'd normally go with Arch but our network speed is ~120KBps so I wouldn't be able to perform installation under 45 mins.
Which distro would you recommend? Not depending on network at school is top priority. Pacman would be preferred.

does this 1463849131543 show when the file was uploaded to or saved from 4chan?

I last bought RAM two years ago. Is it okay to buy a new set that doesn't match the old one and run them together?

domains have several DNS "NS" records indicating their responsible domain servers, I understand that and know how to configure my domain with my registrar

now this post here
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12763974
tells me that you can have NS records with servers from different companies on your domains

Question: Can you just add any random DNS server to that list and it will magically work? Are these companies using free/paid services?

I guess AWS DNS is obviously for paying amazon customers, but I couldn't find any good info about it with my weak google-fu and ambiguous search terms

I need some advice on connecting a wired Xbox controller to Android.

does anybody have trouble with windows 10 not detecting iphones as portable devices anymore? I always transfer my pictures manually from the phone but this time something is fucked. itunes sees my phone just fine, literally everything is up to date but windows doesn't pop shit up. the only thing that helps is reinstalling itunes fresh. it works ONCE after that. then it's fucked again. is this some "le we fucked it up on purpose because we don't like apple + microsoft users" shit? holy fuck this is annoying.

Recruiters and Headhunters withhold all the information until they send someone in for an interview or to start working. I worked at one place for 2 weeks through a recruiter before I realized that no one had even given me the phone number to the place.

If they give you the name, position, job description and phone number, there would be nothing stopping you from going around the recruiter and applying directly. The company pays the recruiters to be gatekeepers so that this does not happen.

The recruiter doesn't even get a full job description, they get like 3 sentences.

Source: Worked as a temp, friend worked as a tech recruiter. You're not being set up, the job market is just complete and utter bullshit and it's exactly as stupid as it sounds.

If you don't want to be contacted by recruiters, make your shit private on stuff like Monster and Indeed and what have you. Don't apply to shit on Craigslist and you should be good.

I want to setup my new MX300 SSD in my PC but I need to backup my VMWare Workstation 12 VM, I need to keep it because that is the VM I use to go on the Deep Web.

How do?

Another thing that I am curious about is how to make the VM screen bigger, it's pretty small and surrounded by black bars. When I had a Windows 7 VM it wasn't like that.

>>57220007
Things are a bit different in my experience.

I've seen two different things happen:

>company hires headhunter company
>company has NO in-house HR or recruiters, so you must go through them
>recruiter will tell you name of company once they have figured out that you might fit the bill (usually within 5 minutes of talking to them) and they know you can't circumvent them

or

>recruiter sends you an email with the job description saying that if you agree to some terms then they will send your info to the company
>you must reply with "Confirmed"
>then they will tell you the name of the company and more info
>the emails are apparently legally binding to say that you may only apply to that company through this headhunter for the next year or something
>if two headhunters do the same thing with the same company, you cannot legally be hired because they would conflict so BE CAREFUL if you work with headhunters

he's getting scammed imo

>>57220078

It sometimes works fine but it's recommended to just switch it out! RAM is fucking dirt cheap.

>>57220120
If a company can't be bothered to pick up the phone and call you then it's almost definitely a scam.

Don't bother replying to job offers in e-mails. If they can't call you it's because they're not even physically in the country and the employer refuses to pay for international calling.

>>57220293
>what happens when an hdd fails? you cant get the data at all?
Depends on the type of failur. If the read/write head scratched the surface, then yes your drive is totally toast and your data is gone. If the motor has problems you might have a chance, but not always. Same with a broken electronics board.

>Should I use ssd or hdd for my programming files?
I'd say go for SSD if your budget allows it, the speed alone makes up for it. But remember to still make backups. SSDs are not necessarily much better than HDDs for lifespan. When an SSD stops working it simply does stop working, there's no easy recovering.

As for HDD manufacturer quality, they are more or less equal.

Thanks for the help!

What about Debian or Ubuntu netinstall? You can install a minimal system and it will pull the necessary data from the network, you don't have to download the whole ISO. Should be available for some other distros too.

>>57219534
Just make sure the voltage, frequency, and timings match. Brand does not matter.

Your system should automatically choose the highest frequency that all DIMMS support, so the slowest stick will pick the clock rate.

I'm serious about the timings, exact fucking match. If you put one stick with 13-15-14-28 timings in with a stick that has 13-15-16-25 timings your system will not automatically pick the loosest latency(if a setting that matches both sticks even exists).

Is a VCR considered a computer?

I've been sitting here trying to think of the very first computer I touched in my life and I think it might have been the family VCR in 1988.

VCR's contain microprocessors and according to google's definition of a computer

>an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary form, according to instructions given to it in a variable program.

VCR's store data on VHS of course, but I'm getting a bit stuck at "instructions given to it in a variable program". VCR's often had the ability to in either SP/LP/EP. Is that not a variable program?

>>57219600
I don't see why not. Your sites record would propagate to/be cached on some other companies DNS server eventually anyway.

>>57220276
>>57220242

>>57220409
No.

>>57220429

Not good enough.

>>57220444
Deal with it.

>>57220075
When you say they won't budge do you mean the screwdriver just turns without moving the screw? If that's the case then you might need a smaller/pointier Phillips.

If you mean they won't budge as in they are really stiff then just unscrew harder. Those ones probably have loctite on the threads to keep them from wiggling/vibrating loose on their own.

>>57220409
no, VCRs are not user-programmable, which i would consider a key function of a computer

(and no, the "programmable" recording feature doesn't count, they call it programmable, but it's not the same usage of the word, this is more "configurable")

oh, and VCR's don't store digital data on tapes, it's all analog (inb4 someone mentions D-VHS)

>>57219668
Some software provides both user and system functionality, some does not. You need to be more specific.

>>57220394
>Thanks. so whats the safest place to keep data as backup?
two or more drives, preferrably in different locations (in case your house burns down... you get the idea)

>What are external hdds?
Movable HDDs not always attached to / screwed into your computer. Attached via USB or similar.

>>57220004
nvm, finally figued it out. turns out the phone needs to be unlocked if you use a code/touch id before windows will detect it as a portable device. holy shit that's retarded.

>>57220494
>>57220409
to be more specific, i mean the ability to enter/load/run arbitrary programs that make the machine do something it didn't already do out of the box

a VCR only does what it was made to do, you can't make it do something else

>>57220528
so like flash drives but bigger?
That sounds convenient. Whats their fail rate?

Is there a program that will either download my Spotify library or make a CSV or similar file of my library?

I'm thinking of upgrading my cpu and motherboard, but I've heard of some issues with upgrades and windows 10.
If I get new parts will windows 10 keep working properly or will I have to reactivate it?
Also, what's the best way to go about doing that? A quick google search shows that the easiest way to do this is to make a microsoft account, and then link the key to it and just sign in to your account after the hardware upgrade. However, I don't really want to make an account or deal with ms support if possible. Is there another option for me?

>>57220542
>i mean the ability to enter/load/run arbitrary programs that make the machine do something it didn't already do out of the box

That definition is too limited. If it were true it would mean things like arcade machines with ROM chips soldered in are not computers.

>>57220550
>so like flash drives but bigger?
Yeah basically, a metal HDD as a usb stick, sort of
>That sounds convenient. Whats their fail rate?
A little higher than fixed HDDs I suppose. The USB board might break, they use cheaper HDDs inside the enclosure since you don't really a high-speed HDD externally (most of the time anyways). I've used two WD 1/2TB external HDDs for my backups, they've been running fine for over 5 years, but I use them maybe once a month.

Installing SSD as my main drive. Anything extra I have to do?

>>57220004
I switched to android long long ago but...

Are you trying to transfer though iTunes, or just expecting iTunes to set up windows explorer transfer capability/drivers after it's installed? You might have to do everything directly through iTunes or just jailbreak the phone.

>>57220409
>>57220555
perhaps it would be better to ask if he meant "is it a /general purpose/ computer"
in the strict sense >>57220555 describes, yea, it's a "computer", as in it has input/process/output

but it can only run the program(s) it came with on ROM, it's not user-programmable, so it's not general purpose

i'm assuming the first guy was referring to general purpose computers, as that's what people normally mean when they say "computer"

I'm new to programming.
How do I start learning Assembly?

>>57220550
kinda except they're regular hard drives with spinning discs but outside your computer in their own case.
a flash drive has no moving parts.
depends on the brand of HDD they use inside and the controller. You could just get a regular internal and put them in a case yourself so you know what you get.

>>57220592
Most likely reactivate.
You will want to remove old drivers beforehand and download the latest for your new mobo beforehand just in case.
You should also make a windows install media in case the above doesnt work so you can just reinstall (this is recommended anyway).
You could just use MStoolkit and activate.

>>57220494
If it's a VCR that allows you to do things like assign a channel a name like CBS, NBC, etc then it is programmable in the real sense. You're adding information from "outside the box" which is then stored and can be recalled later. This is even more true when you have favorites buttons that can be used to shortcut putting in a channel number.

I'd argue setting a custom recording starting and stopping time is programming as well. It's a set of instructions for the computer to follow that can be customized through input that results in an output (the recorded video data) You have to give a better reason why you think it isn't.

digital/analog doesn't really matter.

>>57220109
Don't reinstall shit when you put the SSD in. Just clone the existing drive onto the SSD.

If the original drive is larger than the SSD then shrink the partition down before you clone it. You should only have to clone the boot partition, move some files off of it onto another partition if you're having trouble getting it small enough.

If you have black bars around your VM and it's not scaling the screen automatically then you probably need to install the guest additions/drivers.

>>57219770
bump

>>57220699
As of right now, there won't be a huge difference, but you should go with the i5. It will be much more future proof, and having 4 real cores instead of hyper threading is pretty great.

>>57220646
Grab your nearest C/C++/Python/any high-level language not related to java book, you shouldn't start assembly until you get a grasp on how computers work, so you should start with a high-level language.
Programming is like a hole: If you run down too fast you may get hurt

I see. which version should of i5 should i grab? or is 6400 enough? I mean generally I prefer fps over graphics, so playing on low graphic settings is no problem for me. Also since 6100 is only 100dollars, i could ultimately upgrade in few years with i5, assuming my mobo is still fine.

>>57220293
Use two disks in RAID1. All the data is mirrored on both drives so if one fails you don't lose any files.

HDD's will survive more writes than SSD's will. SSD's are more durable than HDD's. SSD's are faster and more expensive per GB. SSD's use less power and often are smaller. Proper wear leveling should help SSD's from losing data after they eventually pass there maximum number of writes, but they will still not sustain as many writes as a HDD will before they fail. Theoretically a HDD should last longer but in practice they are far more prone to mechanical failure.

You should keep a backup of your programming files on a separate drive or backed up to a server/cloud storage or just use RAID1. Use all three if you're paranoid.

what's the difference between non-blocking and asynchronous I/O

>>57220820
well, first you should figure out why it's vibrating. If something is hitting against it then you need to make it stop hitting the side.
If it's vibrating because it's loose or something, then yeah. The best option would probably be to just shove something next to the panel to stop it from moving around.

>>57220845
the 6400 is fine.

>>57220861
you'll lose almost as much by getting an i3 now and upgrade to an i5 later

>>57220867
raid is not a backup

>>57220303
Just RMA it. Don't take it apart and fuck up your warranty unless you are completely sure it's not covered/out of warranty. Sometimes warranties extend beyond the listed amount of years.

>>57220848
like washers or something between the screws and the panel?

>>57220879
I have tried tightening the screws. That didn't seem to do anything.

How can I automatically turn electrically off (in the same way as unplugging it from socket) a device, in my case a monitor, when I shutdown my PC and turn it back on when turning my PC on? Would I be able to set a Wemo or TP-link wifi socket to do that?

>>57220305

They make power strips that have one outlet that switches all the others. When power is drawn from that one outlet, the rest of the outlets switch on, when that power draw goes away, they turn off. These can be had inexpensively from your online electronics retailer of choice. They're usually sold as "smart" or "energy saver" power strips.

The only problem you might have is that a PC does draw some power even when off - a few watts of it. This powers the 5v standby rail and is why you don't have to change your CMOS battery every year.

Not sure if I understand your answer? I mean, with that compiler, you can take any binary blob, like drivers, any proprietary software, and run it on for example ARM CPUs without emulation.

I'm trying to bypass Factory Reset Protection on a Huawei p9, I followed several methods on the internet to the letterm but they all seem to be patched unless I'm retarded.

For example, I can get in to the settings menu, and normally you should be able to enable developer mode by tapping the build number 7 times but it doesn't enable.

I also tried using a tool from hardreset.info, but it was more than 6 months old so I guess it got patched.

Is the momentum too low?

>>57221457
Lol, it's because it's a """"found"""" phone.
If you factory reset a phone it demands you to log in with the last used google account before you can use it. I don't have that account.

I'm trying to bypass that so that I can put my own google account on it.

in google chrome in incognito i can search my bookmarks, however in opening the "bookmarks manager" to see a tab of all my bookmarks, it opens in a non-incognito tab

is there any way to open Chrome's "bookmarks manager" tab in an incognito window? I don't see the purpose in the browser seemingly disallowing this. Manually copying the "chrome://bookmarks/#1" URL and pasting it into an incognito tab opens a normal tab of the page.

>>57221607
Why Incognito? Just delete history daily.

>>57221621
I only use Chrome for the cookies in a NSFW flash game I play. Manually deleting the browsing history of everything but that page seems a nuisance when I logically should be able to just do my sex stuff in incognito without worry.

Need to use Chrome for this since I use Chrome on mobile, and my porn bookmarks there are synced with my Google account, so Firefox (my main browser, tho it pisses me off) can't serve this purpose.

>>57221331

I have fuckin miles of porn bookmarks, dude. My poor 8GB storage space tablet can't hold all the porn vids, though I sort and xfer all the images I save.

And sometimes vids get deleted so it's cool to visit a bookmark and see which got a takedown request.

Quick and dirty: play with the color, brightness, and contrast settings in one monitor's built-in menu until it looks like the other.
In-depth option: Color calibration. Photo and video people commonly do it, requires a piece of hardware in order to do properly.

Check before doing either of these: The default color space for TVs is smaller than that of computer monitors - put a TV and a monitor side-by-side displaying the same image and the TV will often look a bit washed-out. Some video cards and drivers assume anything plugged in via HDMI is a TV and use the TV color space. So if your problem is that a monitor using HDMI has dull colors, poke around in your drivers and see if that's going on.

>>57221710
BRUH. When it comes to vids I only fap to cocks and pussy from behind. High quality vids would be great for pussy, but professional stuff seems to usually be plebeian sex and maid-takes-off-uniform-seconds-into-the-video stuff. Not what I'm looking for. But yeah, might be cool to explore it.

Still being cockblocked by the bookmarks tab forcefully opening in a regular tab, though. Perhaps I can delete the browsing history entirely while still keeping cookies, but incognito Chrome is easier on the eyes. Would prefer not to be cucked by Google into staring at white.

>>57220938

So I have been having an issue where randomly my computer gets a black screen and whatever sound is playing just gets a static like repeating. I asked in a different thread and an anon said to change up the order of my RAM. I did that but it still has the issue. Now when I put the ram in the other two empty slots, the computer boots up and shuts down on an infinite loop. Now I have no idea at all what to do.

chrome does actually kill your ssd with file caching

8KB, 148x153px

>>57219213
I've been getting some random stutterings on everything that's on my ssd and I opened crystal disk info and got pic related which I assume is what causes the stuttering. Can I do something about this? Will formating the drive help or do I just need to find a new one?

further, you'd think that ISPs would send notices to owners of affected devices. since it's apparently easy to remove, mailing out a few letters would be a small price to stop potentially disruptive future attacks

>>57221008
Well you have to put the backups somewhere/preserve the existing files. If you don't have an external drive/another disk you could just shrink down the exiting partition/delete what you don't need. Or just leave that shit intact.

The easy way to do it would be to just install a new copy of windows on the SSD without touching the existing drive. Plug the SSD into the SATA port labeled 0, or 1 if there is not a port labeled 0. Or stick it in the M.2 slot, or PCI-E slot, depending on what kind of SSD you have. Then set as the first boot device in your BIOS, might not even have to if you used the first SATA port. Make sure you plug the old hard drive back into a SATA port after installing Windows, use port 2 or 3.

The default location in Windows for your VM files(the ones you want to backup/preserve) is the "My Virtual Machines" folder in "My Documents". If you can't find it after the clean install go to whatever letter the old drive gets assigned and look in :\Users\(your old username)\My Documents. If you're on linux it should be in /home/(your old username)/vmware. That's assuming you did not set a custom location, if you did set one then go into the VM options to find out where the hell you put them.

To install the guest additions just click on VM-Install VMware Tools in the menu at the top of the window while running a VM. Or download the ISO and mount it to a drive on the VM.

>>57221764
Try the first option before doing calibration. Calibration is best for if you need to make something IRL (like a printed photo) match the colors you see on your monitor.

>>57221765
get dust out of the ram slots, try one ram stick at a time in each slot to see if it works.

run memtest.

>>57221789
isnt that number just the % of the bits that is healthy? it should not impact performance at all.
formatting will probably not do much if the drive is actually dying, but doesnt hurt to try.
if you mean defrag, just dont even think about it, it will rape your SSD even worse.

>>57221790
who are you talking to?

Anyone here have any experience with Kinguin or G2A Windows 10 Keys?

How trustworthy are they? Especially since you can reactivate them if you know what you are doing, rendering others PC's useless.

>>57221857
>it should not impact performance at all.
That's what I thought, but the stuttering is real, and I've had the same kind of stuttering on my old hdd right before it died. It's a shame I bought it like 1 year ago and it's already fucked up.

>>57220820
You might have a fan that's going bad. Maybe you just need to tighten the screws connecting the fan.

You could get some rubber washers/spacers to stop the vibrating.

If your ghetto you can just fold up some paper/cardboard and wedge it in gap between the side panel and the case. If the panel slides on just hold the folded paper against the inside edges when you close it.

>>57221803
Thanks anon! Is there anything in specific that I have to do after installing the SSD? Like to get it at full speed.

>>57221857
You can't defrag an SSD on Windows 10, it does something else.

>>57221877
Hey, I can't help you, but when you say "Especially since you can reactivate them if you know what you are doing, rendering others PC's useless", do you mean as a brick? Or by merely giving a "not genuine" tag if some sorts? If it bricks your PC that is horrible and I would never fuck with it, just to avoid having that over my head, just saying,

Excuse my retarded-ness,
Why doesn't Copy/pasting an .exe's hex values into blank file work?
(It shows a cpu architecture error or something).

How would I go about converting an executable file into a byte or string form which can then be converted back?

compile/decompile

Apologies for my inexperience. I'm ripping a lot of DVDs to put on my NAS, with my laptop's SSD as a middleman. The way I'm doing it is this:
>create 1:1 disc image to an ISO with Brasero
>convert to video with handbrake
>delete ISO
>move video file to NAS

Will this kill my SSD? The reason I ask is because I've read that:
>If your SSD has a block size of 256KB, then it would have something like 480000 blocks for a 120GB drive. Assuming a P/E endurance of 5000, a program can destroy your SSD after 300MB of data written to it by writing one bit to each cell, and then erasing it.

While the above was on the Google product forums about moving Chrome's cache to an SSD, I'm nevertheless a bit concerned about all the writing/erasing I'll be doing.

I think some UPS/battery backups let you program sockets through the data link.

Just set the monitor to go into standby(but not power off after a set timer) after it loses signal. It should wake up again when it receives a signal. Turn the power/status LED of the monitor off completely, it will pretty much look like it is off. Those things draw pretty much zero power in standby.

Yeah a few hundred different brands will use the same chipset/module just in a different case/package. A lot of the time even the case/housing is completely identical except for the logo/branding.

Probe the hardware/lookup what name/Mfg it reports as with no drivers installed, or lookup the device/usb ID. Or just google a teardown/spec sheet of your device and make note of the chip used.

So I got a 30m Cat6E cable. Goes from one modem inside house to my own old linksys modem in caravan. Stops working suddenly two days ago, I fuck around with cables and modems, resetting them constantly, changing ports cables are in etc, then it suddenly works. Now it has stopped working again and I didn't change a single fucking thing I know it. Why this happen?

I literally just ran inside with my 30m cable and plugged it into the computer next to my modem and it works fucking fine, but as soon as I run the cable outside to plug into my own modem it doesn't work. Does anyone hve any ideas? I don't got the money to buy new anything, tried two different modems (exact same model though) and I'm seriously getting frustrated. Just want to lie down and fucking read. Please help I'm at my wits end here

Just make sure your disk controller/SATA ports are set to AHCI in the BIOS. Turn on S.M.A.R.T. if you see an option in there for it.

But why would the 30m cable work fine once brought inside though? Once in the caravan I tried the 30m cable straight into my PC, laptop and 2 different modems, none of them worked, yet when I tried the 30m cable on a PC right next to the modem it worked fine. Could it be something to do with not being grounded inside the caravan? I've given myself electric shocks before by standing outside on the cement barefoot and touching the radiator while it was on...

I don't know, just truncate the part of the number that's too big or small. Or drop all the numbers that don't fit the criteria.

Just request one byte if you want a value between 1 and 255. There are 8 bits in a byte, 8 bits can be arranged in around 255(actually 256) unique combinations.

You might have to decompile it into an intermediate code or the original code it was compiled with first.

Some instructions/instruction set equivalents might not exist(probably don't exist) for both machines. It would have to work around that with extra shit that you would probably need the original code for. You would need to pull in/find all the extra stuff that was used to compile the code for the target architecture in the first place.

You're not talking about compiling down to, you're talking about decompiling then recompiling.

That code could have been compiled using one out of a few hundred different languages, all of which used different library's and shit. Some of those languages might not even fucking support compiling code for the architecture your are trying to port to.

It should be possible, but in some instances this theoretical compiler would basically be building an emulator for another architecture. It may only have to emulate some stuff and may optimism the rest, but at that point you might as well just use an emulator in the first place.

I have an access point from my isp. One computer is using Ethernet over power. The other is using a wireless signal. Some reason the computer using a wireless connection losing its connection and gets back on when the Ethernet over power adapters are switched off.

Could it be the adapters itself alter the connection to the computer with the wireless connection, or is it more likely the computer with Ethernet is doing something with the connection like using the bandwidth?

>>57221203

Hold down the windows key then press Pause/Break, click advanced, then click performance setting, then click on advanced, then virtual memory. You can control/set the page file from there.

You can set the disk controller/SATA ports to AHCI in the BIOS. You can get into the BIOS by pressing/holding down DEL/F1/F2 when you first turn your system on. It's a different key for different motherboard but you should see a splash screen when you boot up that tells you what key it is.

You can hold down vol up, vol down, and power while turning it on to get into recovery. You can do a factory reset from there. That might not bypass the hardlock(anti-theft).

Even if it only lets you flash signed images/files you can still overwrite everything with factory files. Flash the OS, bootloader, recover, etc. to stock. Everything. Unless it only lets you write a newer image, then you might be screwed.

Why don't you just log in to the account it's locked to? Did you steal that phone? Did someone steal it, then sell it to you. Or did someone sell it to you without realizing they have to log in once after they factory reset it. I factory reset my old nexus before I sold it and it wouldn't let you do anything past the welcome/new user screen until it was authorized/released using my account info.

I mean, I get it if you're one to travel a lot to other countries with your laptop, but for a desktop computer I really see no reason for this.
Anyone care to enlighten me?

TDP is just the max wattage it will pull under stock clocks at full load. If you are worried about temperatures look up the max/recommended safe temperature limit for the socket and the cores. I don't know what it is for a 6700k. If you go over that under full load/stress testing then you need better cooling.

The file itself might be messed up. I'm guessing you download it from a notviruses.ru type site so that can happen. Have you tried installing anything else?

As I understand, TunnelBear routes all your traffic through a specific port. After installing it, even when it's off, my internet feels laggier than it was on my ThinkPad x220. It's used but freshly factory reset as of a couple weeks ago, and i'm running on a 5.0 ghz band of wireless.

If I uninstall TunnelBear regularly, should I have any problems with my 'default port'? Will my machine work as if it didn't have TunnelBear on it? I just bought this laptop and am concerned why it's already having issues with video streaming and light gaming.

>>57223479
Yeah, it's like Google play, but only allows open source apps. It's safe and doesn't require login, but as a compromise it doesn't have most stuff you would find on Google play.

It's a local page that's hosted in the browser. Less of a page and more of a menu actually, it just presents itself as a page for UI reasons. All it does is access bookmarks. It doesn't even give the next page a referral/last URL value. It doesn't even have a qualified URL. It does not need to be run in incognito. Just right click on the bookmarks in there and open them in an incognito window/tab.

It's a key on your keyboard. Look around the top of the numpad/to the right of the F1-F12 keys.

You can turn it off to try and save SSD writes if you/your system doesn't regularly try to use more RAM than you actually have. Or just move it to a different drive.

When the system runs out of ram it starts using space on the hard drive as RAM, which is slow as fuck.

Oh okay, well I figured it was that, tried pressing it already but nothing.

Put the RAM back into the slots it was originally in. If it's still boot looping after that then reset the BIOS/CMOS. If you can't find the jumper that clears the CMOS just pull the battery(flat circular watch battery) out and let it sit for a few minutes with the power cord also unplugged. Then pop the battery back in and plug it in.

>>57221789
When SSD performance degrades, for example when you use them on a RAID controller that does not support SSD's, they slowly lose speed/throughput over time. They don't stutter. I think it's a software problem. What else is accessing that disk? Is some process spiking CPU usage in the background randomly?

What ever you read the "hex values" with did some formatting before or after you read/copied it. Or what ever you used to paste them into a black file formatted it incorrectly.

You can't just attempt to run part of the already compiled bin.

You could just set handbrake to save the files directly to the NAS. Fuck it have Brasero write the ISO's to it as well. It's not like a disk drive will max out the connection to the NAS. And I know you don't have the GPU power to encode files fast enough to max out the connection to it.

System time in GMT is standard for most OSes other than Windows, avoids any fuckery when moving bewteen timezones, or when daylight savings happens.

I want to install Linux as a secondary OS to my Windows 10 game machine.

When I attempt to load it my monitor just says "out of range".

I googled, and I still don't know the answer. Most of the posts tell you to go into terminal and do "X" but I don't know how the fuck I'm supposed to do that when my monitor doesn't even recognize the signal. Also booting into the recovery mode (that is included in Ubuntu and Mint) just gives me the same message.

Basically the display on the monitor (unknown model, an Asus from like 8 years ago but its still good) where it will show your menu for contrast/brightness adjust or your input just constantly displays an "out of range" message.

I've never seen that on this monitor before.

In addition to what >>57224413 said, Windows' keeping the system clock in local time is a historical accident. It only does that because that's the way DOS did it long ago. This never got changed because it might break things. And an important chunk of the Windows customer base is businesses running bespoke applications from the 80s to which the source code has long since been lost, and without which the business goes bankrupt.

The motherboard (not CPU) fan got choked with dust and now sounds like a damn jet engine, and even after I cleaned it (read:blasted it with compressed air and watched dust fly all over the place) it sounded the same. Speedfan said it was at 0RPM, is it basically fucked?

So my PC hasn't been able to recognize my two RAM sticks since ever, but for some reason when I booted it up after messing with the BIOS voltage settings for my CPU and DRAM it was recognized. My PC ran noticeable better but after starting up H1Z1 it promptly crashed when I was about to be put into a game.

My BIOS recognizes all 8gb, Windows sets 4gb to "hardware reserved" and uses the other 4gb. My PC won't boot when I put one RAM stick into the last 2 slots, but the first 2 work. The BIOS still recognizes all the RAM no matter which slot it's in, but will only boot to it if one is in the first two. Updated the BIOS, still nothing.

That was just a fluke, right?

The way you put the power switch pins on the mobo, you can't really fuck that up as long as you know the right pins right? Which way it is shouldn't matter? And anyway I tried it already both ways multiple times.

So something is fucked up with the wire or the connector? Maybe the mobo pins are slightly twisted, look into that maybe?

Or maybe I just power up with a screwdriver for the next few years.
