How much can I do with 1 VPS (package #1) here?
https://hosthatch.com/openvz-ssd-vps

Better to buy two #1s or one of the others?

Is this the best/cheapest VPS btw?

OpenVZ or KVM?

I'm trying to illegitimately activate my legitimate copy of windows via keys I'm finding online

the keys "work" in that they're valid, but every attempt to use them comes up with pic related. Microsoft claims the error means "The Software Licensing Service reports that license evaluation failed."

note: this is NOT the same error as using an already-taken key.

What the fuck do I do now? Can I fix this? I don't want to use warez to activate the copy of 7 I bought if I can help it.
Did microsoft disable activation of windows 7?

Hey /g/, I like in sci-fi movies where the person comes home and he's greeted by some voice assistant, read facts, play music, etc.
Is there anything on the market like that? So far the only thing I come across is amazon's echo, but that's not automated.
Rather than a motion sensor or a camera, you'd have to issue several voice commands.

Is there any real use for having ¬¬intro in logic? Does it serve any purpose other than to elongate the process?

I bought my current build from a friend a little over year ago. Yes, I know I'm a faggot for not building it myself. These past couple days, the fans have been spinning noticeably faster. Just an hour ago, I started to smell a faint burning smell and then my computer shut down. Is it safe to say that the power supply failed? I did a search and many of the results say to check for burn marks on the other components, but I don't see any. The power supply is a Corsair CX750.

getting fps drops on some games only
thought they were bad ports like the crew and other ubishit games since they have it the most but today i tried skyrim remaster
it dropped from 90-100 fps to 10-30 every 3-4 seconds
I got no idea why but I could somehow hear something not do sound during the time and then when the fps went back to normal it would do the sound again
Its not hdd problem since i installed it on ssd too.

How can I set my lock screen wallpaper without cropping? I was somehow able to do it on my previous tablet, but this one the crop seems different. You can't adjust the aspect ratio to match the image res, so if they don't already match it's always cropped.

>>57318052
To change your default engine in palemoon right click the browser header, click customize, drag in a temporary search engine bar, go to the site you want to change to your search engine to, and press the arrow next to the logo (see pic) and click on 'Add "searx.me" '. This will add it to your list of search engines.

All you have to do then is just switch to that and (optionally, if you don't like the search bar like I don't) right click the browser header, click customize, and remove the search engine bar.

If you need any more help with pale moon just say so i'll be here.
Had to do this when I was changing from duckduckgo to duckduckgo HTML (since I have JS disabled, but might change to searx.me soon)

Or are you two implying that its stupid to use TOR for everyday browsing?

Because from my understanding they both do the same thing, as in rerouting my signal a few times before it reaches its intended endpoint.

VPN is encrypted though and TOR is not encrypted when it leaves the exit node AFAIK is the biggest difference.

How do multiple operating system games work? Like if someone were to code a game with Windows, would it only be compatible with Windows? Does it depend on the engine that the game is coded in?

>>57318417
Not only do you not know the intent of nodes (as in, whether or not they intend on being malicious), but the whole system (and TOR) is easily exploitable. Plus the whole "le FBI has access to your connection" thing. TOR isn't as good as it used to be and should only ever be used for the deep web (and honestly even then I don't like tor too much, does anyone know another browser capable?)

Oh and yeah using tor for everyday browsing is not only unsafe as fuck but it's autistic as fuck. Use something else like ice cat or pale moon or some privacy-related browser.
TOR is not the same as a VPN setup at all and your connection could easily be intercepted with a determined enough attacker (i.e. man-in-the-middle).

>checked all settings on tv via remote, overscan set to "normal" (there was no OFF, only Normal, +1, and +2)

Im using the TV as a 2nd display for the tablet. Is there a way to resize/pan it from the tablet itself so that it appears accurate on the TV?

(pic is not from me, just one i found on google images)

>>57318651
Err, is that possible, I just powered off the psu's power switch

>>57318670
it's overscanned
outside of plain "overscan" options, also look for a "game" or "PC" profile, they often disable things like motion interpolation and overscan, among other things you probably don't want applied to such content

>>57318699
Ive gone through the rather limited menu on the remote, it doesnt have any other options like this unfortunately

Its not a huge deal as I can still use it somewhat fine, but its a bother

I was just curious if there is some program I can use to manually resize/reposition the output on Windows itself since Windows nor the Intel utility has any such options on it

>>57318682
yes it's possible, just hold it down until it switches off
also you have a background service running that wont die.
probably teamviewer or a virus scanner

>>57318735
check the control panel for your graphics card

>>57316920
KMS worked for me

>>57318809
My main question was if it is bad for the computer to be shutted down from the psu

>>57318735
some drivers have a means of setting an underscan, which is intended for use on CRT tvs which are physically set with an overscan by nature (rather than performed internally by software like modern digital flat panel tvs)

the problem is that you'll be downscaling slightly on the computer, then upscaling slightly on the tv, so even if you get the picture lining up this way, the image will be slightly blurrier than normal

one thing i found which may not apply to your specific model;
>On the Bravia I selected HOME > Settings > Setup > Screen Settings > Display Area
>It was set to NORMAL
>I changed it to FULL PIXEL

also, ensure the computer is set to 1366x768, the spec sheet for your model says that's its native panel resolution, just setting the computer to output that may be enough to trigger no overscan

>>57318809
>check the control panel for your graphics card
I have already, there is no option in Intel's graphic utility thing nor Windows itself

>>57318809


>also you have a background service running that wont die

You mean that if I end it manually it can turn off ok?

I have an ASUS Gaming laptop with Windows 10 on it but want to downgrade to Windows 7.
My issue is they don't have drivers for Windows 7 listed on the website.
Would drivers for other laptops of a similar model work?

>>57318855
yeah probably, and yes it's bad to shut it down from the PSU
>>57318842
no idea then senpai
usually you'd have options to adjust the picture from software on a non-integrated gpu

>>57318735
>>57318837
ps. the spec sheet also shows it supports vertical refresh rates up to 75Hz
if i were you i'd also set up a 72Hz mode if you plan to play 24fps media on it

>>57318901
>>57318902
I think I solved it sorta?
I set the resolution to 1184 x 666
Now the whole screen appears non-overscanned (or however youd say it)

I hope this looks fine for video and all as it is a bit scaled up but it looks fine on my TV so far

>>57318578
>anonymity = safe
>encryption doesn't matter
literally retarded.
>>57318597
If you can run games with C libraries (which I'd be shocked if you couldn't) then yeah it would probably work. Depends though you'd have to look into it
>>57318601
I actually have no clue why that happens, happens to me too. What addons do you have?

>>57318939
Exhentai Easy 2, which hasn't been working for me lately, and ublock origin

>>57318931
looking at the spec sheet, it lists these screen modes: "wide zoom, normal, full, zoom, off"
"full" is what you want

>>57318971
Thanks again but
I had scrolled through all of the options for the screen modes and they all had overscan applied

But like I siad before I was able to fix the issue by setting it to that weird resolution I had never really seen before (1844 x 666)

>>57318957

How do I switch for my right earbud to play the left audio and vice versa? My left ear is completely rejecting the earbud for some reason. It comes out as muffled unless I barely put the earbud in, and it's exhausting trying to find the right position. It doesn't do that if I put them in backwards.

He doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about, does he?

Is there some way to multiple cat6 that I don't know about or is he going to put a switch in the wall as some standard procedure or am I just being rused?

>I think I'm being rused

>>57321363
Sounds like he either doesn't know what he's talking about

Only way to make it would would be with a switch and assume you wouldn't notice the difference in speed, and I don't think that's standard procedure.

I need to reformat 1tb hdd in order to put linux on it. Suppose i put all the files on a 80gb linux hdd. Then i format the 1tb hdd, then i install win7 again. Will I be able to see the 80gb linux hdd to put the files back?

>>57321493
you'll probably have to install something to let you read ext formatted drives since windows won't read them by default

>>57321363
>some way to multiple cat6
I meant multiplex.

>>57321398
>Only way to make it would would be with a switch and assume you wouldn't notice the difference in speed
It's possible that I wouldn't because the adsl is going to be the bottleneck, not the LAN. Still...it will fuck with my LAN topology and sticking a switch in the wall and wiring it to mains to save on running three cables sounds retarded, not to mention more expensive since you still have to wire it to the wall ports.

I suppose I should have paid more attention when he said that you couldn't have more than four ports in a house because that's how many routers have.

>>57321363
tl;dr make him run four lines.

Ethernet can work in bus mode but you get packet collisions when more than one device tries to send a packet at a time. You could put a switch on the one line and prevent collisions but the devices will still compete for the same bandwidth over the one cable.

If you have four computers trying to access say a 100Mbps internet connection you're good. Even with packet collisions you're not going to come anywhere close to limiting shit.

If you want to have two file transfers at the same time between computers on the LAN you will get your speed reduced.

However cat6 is cheap. Pennies per foot. Running 4 lines along the same path is as difficult as running one. Paying someone to come back and run more lines is orders of magnitude more expensive. If you think you'll ever want more, run them ahead of time. You don't even have to put the ports in the wall. Just let them hang there until you need them.

Most likely he has no idea what he's doing. I did electrical and never worked with someone who knew anything about ethernet. The material savings isn't enough for him to bother screwing you over for.

I use Emacs for everything, now I need to develop games on windows.
What the fuck do I do?

>>57321493
If you don't need what's on the 80GB hard drive it would be best to reformat it under windows to use it. There are also formats like exfat which both Linux and Windows can read. There are lots of ways around this but it all depends on whether or not you have to keep the stuff on the 80GB hdd or not and whether you can put another partition on the hdd or not. A USB stick transfer might be a good idea if those aren't an option. If the 80GB hdd is in another computer a network transfer will be faster. Whatever it is don't count on being able to read an ext4 file system on Windows, at least from what I've heard.

is there a cost-free program to edit PDFs?

>Sounds like he either doesn't know what he's talking about

>tl;dr make him run four lines.
Thanks, that was my thought too. I wanted to be sure.

I've wired wall ports before, I had a good landlord once who let me wire the house, so I kinda know what I'm doing with it but I couldn't be sure that there wasn't some way to multiplex it that I just hadn't heard of.

I think in this case, it's just a typical case of 'promise everything, assure them that you know everything, deliver whatever you can be fucked doing'

960M is pretty weak as a GPU. If you're not planning on gayming then that's fine, but in that case you might want a laptop that doesnt't have any dedicated GPU on it at all.

Ignore this "homegroup". Go with the workgroup. Homegroup is just higher abstraction of workgroup.

sysdm.cpl -> "computer name" tab -> change -> make sure it is Workgroup instead of domain (im pretty sure you dont use domain) -> the name should be the same as in others -> which by default is WORKGROUP

Besides, there is a slight chance that netbios is disabled.

3333Mhz is the maximum speed that memory is capable to perform. If your motherboard doesn't support it then your memory will automatically underclock to whatever your mobo supports. You might be able to get higher speeds by fiddling around in bios, but that depends on your motherboard.

>>57322882
There's a difference between Mhz and MT
Your memory is DDR4-3333 (MT)
It runs at 1666 Mhz

The fact that your BIOS says its running at 2133 MT probably means it is running slower than it could, assuming your motherboard supports DDR4-3333

>>57322931
>3333Mhz is the maximum speed that memory is capable to perform. If your motherboard doesn't support it then your memory will automatically underclock to whatever your mobo supports
Ok, thanks.
I have an Asus Deluxe II, supposedly it supports 3333Mhz but maybe not my sticks.

>>57322944
Motherboard will often underclock RAM to the minimum speed if they can't detect type, in the case of DDR4 that's 2133

If your RAM is indeed DDR4-3333 you should manually set it in the BIOS

I dun goofed a little and need some advice.
Pic rel is my old PC, where an old GPU - HD58xx - had died. So I've bought cheap replacement - R7 260x, which would also indent for upgrade.

I was trying to run Battlefield 1, however it runs badly (5 fpses) on lowest possible settings.
Seeing the YT videos however, this GPU can run around 60fps / 1080p on medium.

That means, I've got some choke point here. How would I determine if it is either CPU or mobo fault? I could try OC.

I'm trying to implement a search that works depending on which dropdown box you have selected in php.

//do something }

Your mobo might have some automatic feature that checks USB devices for bootable drives before continuing with standard boot sequence. All the other devices you've tested work fine but that 4TB drive does not respond normally for some reason. Might be a sign of hardware failure.

>>57323448
I woudn't recommend any AMD processors before Zen is released. And Zen uses new AM4 socket.

So whether you're waiting for Zen or switching to Intel you'll have to replace your mobo to support processors made for another socket. You should also upgrade to DDR4 while you're at it.

I don't want to back up everything. I only want to save the necessary things, so I can "start fresh", but it makes me anxious just to think about all those files I will have to pick (or delete).
I think I also need to save my .bash_history and .bashrc and the bookmarks.
some overly edited config files, like mpv's.

I'm thinking about getting a new computer, and was wondering if it would be worth just keeping the same processor?

I read online that processors will outlive their worth and in the end the only reason they'll die is because someone's stupid with them or the motherboard takes them out with itself. Is this true?

I've got an i5 3570k and my only other option that fits in my price range at the moment is an i5 4500

What's a good, preferably cheap tablet ? Me mum wants a tablet for just browsing and shit, so I guess a decent resolution and more than 1 GB of RAM so that android wouldn't shit itself
I've never looked into tablets so I have no idea what companies for them are decent, what companies are cancer ?

>>57324720
if you will use the same socket type, sure, but if you will want to upgrade it a year later, you will have to purchase a new motherboard, new processor and probably new RAM, so basically you will pay twice
If your motherboard is fine, then the "new computer" argument is stupid, since you would only be changing a GPU and possibly PSU, nothing else

>>57324747
Guess you have a good point.

Everything's 4 years old so I'm just worried about something breaking on me. Will my mobo and ram stay alive after living this long or should I just get new everything?

>>57324688
>what would anons back up from their HDDs if only the essential was allowed?
My Documents folder, cause it contains all my college stuff (but more importantly all my reaction images), and my .vimrc. In fact, those are the two things I sync with Google Drive, so I'm 100% safe.

>>57324811
>fucking 4 years old
Only my GPU and SSD is newer than 4 years in my PC, what the fuck are you worrying about, there's still some shit that is more than 10 years old that still work in my PC

>>57324863
Ah alright, thanks anon.
I guess I'm just paranoid because one of my GPU's died the other month.

I reinstalled PC and fonts and colors are fucked. eg. fonts are pixelized and fuzzy, and appear to be thiner and smaller than they should. Pic related is an example: on the left is the image generated on the fucked up PC, on the right is the image generated on normal working laptop. However, if I open the pic on the right on the PC it displays it normally! The pic is generated on a site that I use to track calories.

Monitor is not the problem though. I have tested monitor pluging it on laptop and it displayed fonts normally. Also, I attached old (but working) asus monitor on the fucked up PC and it too diplayed fonts in this broken manner.

What is a good way to store an external hdd?

Im gonna put an external hdd full of backups at my folks house. I'm probably never gonna need it, only in case of when my house gets destroyed by a fire or a flood or something.

What is the best way to store it? Wrap it in bubble wrap? Should I wrap it in aluminium foil too to prevent idk static shit or something?

>>57325828
I'd wait for cannonlake at least.

>>57325869
oh and also in case there ever is a breakin and someone steals my shit or maybe when someone destroys my shit on purpose

i got over 15 years of collected digital data on there, games, movies, pictures, music and I wanna secure it.

How do I store an external hdd so it still works 10 years from now?

>>57325869
Use an SSD instead, put it in an antistatic bag and store it in their attic. Also encrypt everything and back it up to at least two cloud services, Dropbox and Google Drive are reliable. Only back things up you can't find and download in 5 minutes, if it's on Steam or Netflix or iTunes, don't bother.

Meant to ask this here >>57325975

std::cin >> 2;

sorry but I dont have money for 10tb in SSD's

how to I store an external hdd?

>>57325994
yeah I forgot to mention I got several terabytes of data

+15 years


so I can only use these external hdd's I already have for this job

how do I store them?

im trying to play CSgo and my ping fluctuates like crazy making it basically unplayable

i tried using a routing program but it still fluctuates all over the place, but they do help keep it lower. it just jumps from 30 to 120 over and over again and i cant figure out why

is there anything that i can do about this

>>57325989
Arrays bro

int sqArray[size];
...
for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i){
std::cout << "Store: " << i << endl;
std::cin >> sq[i];
}

However this shit might broke with wrong input, but You get the idea.

>>57325869
>>57325905
Really hard to say, nobody really studies these kind of things. But as long as you keep them away from vibrations/shocks, moisture and temperature changes they should be fine. You could wrap them in tinfoil if you want to but I doubt it affects anything. No harm in it though.

They won't last forever though. If the data is important to you you might want to keep multiple backups. Possibly on different locations in case of house fires or whatever.

>>57326076
Forgot, do You need to provide size? If so, then ya need to make dynamically allocated table.

>>57325994
Yeah, but it's only been around for a few years, and it has a reputation for being overly generous and shady. Use it as an option sure, but maybe not the only one.

>>57326019
Like I said, narrow the data you want down to way less. Backing up music or movies is fairly pointless because you could just store a list of torrents from the Pirate Bay, and chances are they'll still be active 10 years from now. If not, just find a different tracker or get a subscription to whatever streaming service. Those things won't be LOST just because you do not have access to them. I doubt for instance that you'll have trouble finding a copy of a Beatles album ten years from now, so don't waste space with a FLAC version of it. Save, and only save things that CAN'T be found anywhere else. Obscure indie music that doesn't even have a Wikipedia page, home movies, etc. Maybe consider not storing things as 7GB AVI files and 5MB PNGs either.

If you need to back up 10 TBs of data, you are doing something wrong. Also, you can't do much besides wrapping it in bubble wrap and hoping for the best. Put it in a metal safe or something sturdy, and store it in a cool, dry place.

>>57326076
Thank you

>>57326085
yeah im gonna put a few external hdd's at my folks house who lives a city away so I guess thats pretty safe unless both are cities get nuked or flooded or whatever but then i dont really care much about the data anyway

i thought maybe because of electromagnetism or something it would be good to put them in tinfoil/faraday cage but I have no idea if that really matters.

also I thought tinfoil would save it more from temperature changes or it might make it worse?

maybe when hdd's get cheaper I will make another set of backups and store it on another place too but for now 2 locations seems more than fair

>>57326096
nah man I have been collecting shit since I was like 12 years old, its not only because i cant find it anymore its also because it has alot of emotional value, i also have lots of game shit, mods, savegames, videos, pictures, movies, tv shows, i just wanna keep it all because its mine and has been after all these years

of course documents, pictures get saved double on the external hdd's but i also want to take with me my games and movies

Super stupid question: as my PC takes long to turn off i've tried to press the power button in my case but nothing happened, then I used my PSU's power switch, is it the same pressing the power button than holding it?

I want to format my HDD and go from w10 to w7, I have w7 in a usb stick, if I boot from there will I be able to delete the previous windows and all the data I had?

>>57326170
Depends on the motherboard, usually it's a bit more graceful. I'd consider using sleep mode or something instead, even if you shut the PSU off afterwards.

>>57326234
Yeah, just select the existing partition and delete it/make a new one in its place.

>>57326240
Why?

>>57326122
Out of curiosity, could you run something like WinDirStat on your data? I'm interested in the breakdown.

>>57326273
no thanks im not gonna break down all my data im trying to save it

>>57326261
Mostly because of hard drives. I'm talking out of my ass here, but I think most OSes sync things before sending the computer to sleep so your shit doesn't get corrupted by interrupted transfers.

What's a good app to download torrents on android?

>>57326170
What the fuck, nigga? You're damaging your hard drive hard by doing that. Just reinstall windows if the current installation is that messed up.

I know during the association of a client to an AP the AP assigns a client a "Association Identifier". There are only 2007 available numbers though. Why are there 2007 specifically?
