Ca u make a computer run 7 different operating systems?

HxD gives me a nice pretty graph telling me how frequently each byte appears in a given file.

Are there any tools which let me graph the frequency of 2 or 4 byte words in file?

Seriously can legally buying movies be any MORE pain in the ass?

I just wanted to see eat pray love without getting a lawyer letter and bought it on iTunes like the good goyim I am
It worked well enough but I like taking movie stills and use them as wallpaper but whenever I try to take a screenshot it's all black. I googled and it seems this is intentional

For what fucking purpose?

I am a total newbie and I want to start learn programming. Is every language essentially equivalent, I can do anything with every language, or is there something I can do with say python that I can't do with fortran?

It's so that people can't buy a digital copy of the movie, then record the video stream and upload it to the internet for others to pirate.

Isn't it cute? They think they're stopping pirates.

>>57340491
But I'm not trying to record the movie just take a screenshot. Single picture w/o audio

Also implying that movie is not on the Pirate Bay a trillion times already

If you have the space to install them all, then I don't see why not.

Trough and act of magic and bad luck my windows partition is compromised.
I dont have another HDD to backup 200GB of stuff.

Cant i just create another partition and install windows there or all the HDD will be wiped?

>How do i know it is compromised
The amount of RAM used and what task manager process list reports dont add up.
40-50% of my RAM is being used on something but the process doesn't exist and i cant track what is using it.

Good enough for a webserver? Perhaps just an email server? Better to buy two #1s or one of the others there?

Is this the best/cheapest VPS btw?

OpenVZ or KVM?

I'm running Win7 and want to boot from a USB. The shortcut for the boot setup menu (Ctrl+S) is consistently ignored and the PC boots normally.
Lights on keyboard indicate that it works a-ok.

What do?

What would you guys do:

1) Buy an expensive video card to use it on an old computer even if it bottlenecks, because I can only buy the rest of new computer a few months later.

2) Buy the new computer and use the old video card for a while, then a few months later buy the new video card.

Which one would give a nicer improvement those few months before I complete the computer?

Old PC:
>Phenom II x4 955 BE, 7yo asus mobo but good
>Radeon 5870

New:
>Intel 6700k, asus z170-e, other stuff: 55% of the budget
>gtx 1070; 45% of the budget.

>>57340474
No, not all languages are the same. The good thing is that you can learn as many as you want.

Java is executed in a Virtual Machine (Java Virtual Machine, JVM). This means that you only have to write a single source code, compile it only once, and it can run on any platform as long as that platform has installed Java. The virtual machine will also protect you from fucking up your computer. However, since the code is executed in a virtual machine, you don't have direct access to hardware and things will run slower in Java than other languages.
>Pros: Easy to learn, runs anywhere, you only have to code once, you can't screw up your computer in a digital freak accident
>Cons: It's slower than other languages and won't give you access to hardware

C# is a language pretty similar to Java (if you can code in Java, you will easily learn C# and vice versa). C# doesn't run in a Virtual Machine and you therefore have to compile your program for each system you want to run it on. However, it will run faster than an identical Java program. You don't have full access to your hardware, but that means you are protected from your own stupidity. Note that C# only runs in Windows.
>Pros: Easy to learn, reasonably fast, protects you from screwing up your computer
>Cons: You have to recompile your code in order to make it work on several systems

C++ is the first choice for game programmers because of its blazing fast execution speed and full access to hardware. It's a steep learning curve, but if you work hard and keep your chin up (and most importantly, think before you code), you're gonna have a good time. C++ can run on any platform, but you will have to recompile or even rewrite your source code in order to make it work everywhere.
>Pros: Fast execution speed, full access to hardware
>Cons: Steep learning curve, You're free to fuck up your computer permanently, You'll have to recompile or rewrite code in order to run it more than one place

>>57340774
Short answer: Get into BIOS and change the order of your boot devices.

Long answer:
If you're on a laptop, you usually have to hop through a few hoops in order to get into BIOS. I have to press a button besides the power button, then restart my computer to bring up a menu, and from there I can enter BIOS. Google your model to find out how to get into BIOS. When in BIOS, look for "Startup" or "Boot" or anything similar. Find the list of bootable devices and put USB at the top. Save changes and exit. It should work now.

If you're on a desktop, you're probably told what key you need to press somewhere very early during startup (maybe during POST). In my case, it's Delete, but it is also often F2, F8, F10 or F12. It could also be any other key, so find out yourself. Once you're in BIOS, look for "Startup" or "Boot" or anything similar. Find the list of bootable devices and put USB at the top. Save changes and exit. It should work now.

Thanks anon.

>>57340790
This depends on your system. I had kind of the same system as you but instead of a Phenom II x4 955 BE, I had an Athlon II x4 620 (so my CPU was a bit worse than yours). I upgraded my GPU from a Radeon HD 5850 to a Radeon R9 390, but didn't really see that much of a change in games because the CPU bottlenecked so hard. I upgraded the rest of my computer half a year later. Looking back, I think I would have done it the other way around this time since GPUs only do graphical work, and I would benefit more from a CPU upgrade for more general tasks other than gaming. But then again, just my opinion.

>>57340474
languages are very different but not in arbitrary ways. they are constructed from many of the same ideas, and a few different ideas. different languages put those ideas together in different ways.

anyone who can program knows a lot of languages and can learn new ones quickly. the first couple you learn will be the hardest. just pick one and do it, python is a fine choice. a LOT of what you learn will translate to the next language

>>57341109
Yeah now I'm more inclined to get the CPU first as you say, I've seen that even the integrated graphics of the 6700k can run GTAV at 30 fps, I can't even run that game with my current set up at 10fps and the CPU is always 99% all the time.

*Although that game optimization is absolute garbage, I still can play witcher III at 50 fps semi-ultra. Maybe it depends on games too.

I still can't decide if I should go for cs or maths at univesity when I just wanna be a programmer.

Why does IoT require IPv6? I know that IPv4 addresses are running out, but why does every "smart device" need their own IP?

Can't you just use NAT and/or one central device that's connected to the internet and then connect your other devices to that hub. (This being the case in "smart homes", for example)

my cloud2 headset's mic stopped working and the same constant low popping is output regardless of if its plugged in or not

>>57341760
Sure, that is possible, but how will you manage a multiply NATted network?

I work for Miele and we reimplemented the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for our washing machines and other household appliances. I know what I am speaking about.

>>57341926
Yeah, that's what I was guessing. Plus it's not good business to expect the end user to configure their NAT for all of their devices.

>>57341610
As the name suggest you see more programming if you pick CS, and more math if you pick Math. You will still learn "a bit" of the other regardless of what you choose, but speaking to some math mayor friends they seem clueless about algorithms, programming and OS's, unless they learn by their own.

I think if you like math you should go Math, but if you're just good at math you should take CS since most CS fags fucking sucks at math and it makes life so much easier.

despite your strategic avoidance of photographing the model name (first covered by the ruler, second cut off on the edge)
i've found out what that is, and you can even see the usb connector colours

left to right;
red - +5v
white - D-

black - ground
grey - likely shield, attach to ground or not at all, not required for usb

>>57341969
There are already many UPnP devices for end users, but this is a high security risk. We are sure to provide a better and safer customer experience with SNMP. Either way, IPv6 is needed because it makes management much easier and you don't have to worry. Just plug your device in, get a IP address in your private subnet of the internet and that's all. With a /48 range you can assign more network addresses than you ever need.

so if I have a vps and a domain pointing to it and I want to stuff all incoming emails to that domain (*@domain.com) into a database what part of the email stack do I need to implement? A simple smtp server on port 2525 and mx record pointing to ip?

Trying to install Windows 7 on a new computer and I get a "cannot find installed drivers" error or something like that. I also happen to have a CD that came with the motherboard that is labeled as the cd with drivers on it. How do I get that into Windows?

Rain meter, look it up.

>>57342088
Ye I guess I enjoy CS more than math, and my interest in and current knowledge of math would be enough to get me through CS

>>57340435
Yes, though you'll need a workaround if too many of them require primary partitions.

I once installed DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows XP, Windows 7, and Ubuntu on an old laptop for testing purposes. I used GPT partitioning and installed Ubuntu first. Then I used GRUB's gptsync command to create a temporary MBR when booting any of the other OSes. I set it up so that each OS's own partition would be listed first when booting into it, so that each would always be on C:, and let some of them see partitions from others as secondary drives.

>>57342223
Are you sure it is a installation disk and not a recovery one?

>>57342274
Yes, I burned it myself and used the disk to successfully upgrade another computer to 7.

>>57342245
I wish I was gode at math, in my case I should have taken Math 1 year desu, some of the courses from the first year are actually an inferior version of the Math courses like "analysis", so you don't have to take it twice if you switch to CS later.

What's a video capture but a screenshot of every frame, strung together into a video file?

I haven't tried buying movies on iTunes, mostly because I don't want their shitty bloated program on my computer. So I don't know what format the movies come in or what all sorts of DRM it uses. But I've encountered a bunch of stuff that can't be screnshotted just because of how it displays its image through the driver.

A few things you might try are windows key + printscreen (captures differently and saves to a file instead of to the clipboard); Snipping Tool; and adding it as a custom "game" in Steam so you can use Steam's overlay and screenshot function. No idea if any of those will work.

How do I go from job application to interview?

I applied to about 15 jobs, 3 of them kind of liked me/my resume and waiting for the next step. How much is the usual time to wait to get a response? Actually met a guy at one event and he said "don't expect a response from us until December". In my mind I was like why tf you need like 3 months to choose who to interview for a part time developer job? (2 days a week)

>>57342404
It's a standard PCB connector for internal connections. You may be able to find a plug that fits or sorta-fits it in other broken devices. Or of course go buy a basic soldering iron, they're like $10 and you don't need anything fancy to solder the wires directly to those pins.

>>57342589
If you don't have the Boot Camp driver pack installed, install it. If your Mac has a discrete GPU and normally uses the integrated one for light tasks, summon Steve Jobs' ghost and curse him out. They made the GPU switching thing only function in OS X (and in Linux since some clever neckbeard made a driver that impersonates OS X to the firmware to enable it). I don't know if it was done to avoid having to write a Windows driver for the GPU switcher, or to gimp battery life in Windows to make OS X look better.

Look in Resource Monitor's memory tab. Either you're seeing disk cache that can be dropped instantly if that memory is needed for something else, or you're running some program or driver that's hogging RAM. Virtual machines also eat RAM.

Caching is UNIVERSAL
When you go to do something else that isnt cached, DING DING DING it bumps it out of the cache to make room for the current program accessing the ram

You're right, this part is not normal, and you should have mentioned this before. Your initial query looked like the usual "RAM use is high after doing a thing and I don't know what cache is".

1. Is the page file disabled? Is the disk it's on full?
2. Look in Resource Monitor, see what's actually using all that RAM. Since this is idle, it may be a background program you installed, or an OS component run amok.
3. Does rebooting fix it? Does it do it again?

How is using windows related to how caching systems work? They are all essentially the same thing done different ways based on the system they are being implemented in

It's just a struct you don't have the definition for in your source file. You treat it as a black box, passing pointers or references to them to functions that create and operate on them.

An analogy would be a book you can't read yourself, but you take it to various people who can do things with it.

>>57343538

yeah but they're just talking about it in a theoretical sense, not really a structure with clearly defined inner workings

Windows (10) problem.

Recently got my mom a new laptop, blah 32GB SSD where Windows eats half of it off the bat.

However, the problem I'm having is memory. It has 4GB physical but since she's been using it she consistently finds a way to max the physical and virtual RAM. JUST checked it and she was at 7.0/7.5GB committed. Windows routinely is complaining about running out.

What's the fucking issue? First I thought it was Chrome since it kept popping up in the event viewer logs, so I switched her to Firefox, happened again. Tweaked some about:config settings about history and caching, and still happening. Closed Firefox and it didn't let the shit go.

She swears she never has more than a few tabs open at once, and even then I typically have more open than her (except on a larger HDD) and Windows never complains about running out of virtual memory.

Dropping Windows, or at least 10, is literally an ultimate last resort.
Does Windows 10 just have shit memory management?

>>57343602
W10 will use all the RAM if its not being used and will free it as you need it.

But since you are getting warning messages its not it.

Factory reset it or run malwarebytes and adwcleaner.

>>57343497
>How is using windows related to how caching systems work?

Yes. Windows, Solaris, and Linux all use different caching systems.

>Let's consider a scenario in which the kernel requests memory from the slab allocator for an object representing a process descriptor. In Linux systems, a process descriptor is of the type struct task_struct, which requires approximately 1.7 KB of memory. When the Linux kernel creates a new task, it requests the necessary memory for the struct task_struct object from its cache. The cache will fulfill the request using a struct task_struct object that has already been allocated in a slab and is marked as free.


>The slab allocator first appeared in the Solaris 2.4 kernel. Because of its general-purpose nature, this allocator is now also used for certain user-mode memory requests in Solaris. Linux originally used the buddy system; however, beginning with Version 2.2, the Linux kernel adopted the slab allocator.


>Some systems maintain a separate section of main memory for a buffer cache where blocks are kept under the assumption that will be used again shortly. Other systems cache file data using a The page cache uses virtual memory techniques to cache file data as pages rather than as file-system-oriented blocks. Cachii"lg file data using virtual addresses is far more efficient than caching through physical disk blocks, as accesses interface with virtual memory rather than the file system. Several systems-including Solaris, Linux, and Windows NT, 2000, and XP-use caching to cache both process pages and file data. This is known as unified virtual memory.

Would the "refresh" option suffice?
I can't recall if it was an issue before it caught wind of the updates.

Restarting resets the page file, but it's literally a time bomb.

>>57343712
Are you buying one or building one?

>>57343599
I've seen the term used two ways. One refers to more of an opaque struct, some object that you don't know the names or locations of any members or methods of, but you can pass it to other things that operate on it.

An example of this might be the win32 HWND type, which is a handle to a window. As a program you don't know (or need to know) what the type is beyond just "HWND". You just need to obtain it from some functions like CreateWindow and pass it to other functions like DestroyWindow.

I've also seen it used in a more theoretical sense, for defining operations that can be performed on some data structure or type, but not getting into the specifics of the implementation itself.

An example of this is a stack. The definition of stacks doesn't necessarily define how it's arranged in memory, how large each element is, what type, etc. It just says that a stack has some operations
push(s, e) [pushing element e onto stack s]
pop(s) => e [popping from stack s yielding element e]
and optionally clear(s), size(s), isEmpty(s), etc.

Caching is caching buttercup. The premise is exactly the same cross platform.

>>57343829
The information shows that different systems can use different systems, contrary to what you said. The information is also over a decade out of date, so it doesn't reflect the current methods used by Linux or Windows. I merely wanted to refute your claim that caching method is independent of OS type.

>>57343720
This looks pretty normal desu. Subtract out what Firefox and Google Drive are using and you have 1.5 GB actually in use. Windows 10 will use around that much at idle on a fresh boot if it's available. It'll tighten its belt if you start to run out of RAM.

Note that you should ignore "modified" and "standby" numbers, since they're disk cache. Modified is stuff that's changed and will be written back to disk soon. Standby is files that are in memory and will be used to speed up disk accesses, but can be dropped in an instant if that memory is needed for anything else.

Does it actually have speed issues, or are you just complaining about RAM usage?

And yeah, refresh often helps, but it doesn't look like you have a hell of a lot running there beyond stock. I just see Firefox itself, and Google Drive sync agent.

Factory reset: Formats the drive and restores the factory state, or the fresh-installed state if you installed it yourself.

Refresh: Restore the factory state image without formatting. Keeps your data files but mostly resets the OS to its factory/clean state. Some programs may need reinstallation after.

Full reinstall: Use an actual DVD or USB stick to clear the drive and do an install. This is the most thorough.

>>57343874
I'm not sure.

She informs me when the message of low virtual memory pops up.
She is almost exclusively just browses the internet with it.

Looking at the event viewer for the last time it hit a resource exhaustion (2 days ago):
>Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The following programs consumed the most virtual memory: firefox.exe (1168) consumed 794447872 bytes, MsMpEng.exe (2792) consumed 124559360 bytes, and ShellExperienceHost.exe (4796) consumed 98107392 bytes.

This alone is nowhere near the 4GB page file limit (only around 1GB), and if these are the 3 largest I have trouble imagining a bunch of tiny shit is pushing it over the edge.

So after an automatic update from based Windows 10, Local Services uses up about 70% of my CPU, and ended the process doesn't mean shit as it just starts itself back up in a few minutes.

What the fuck is this bullshit.

I have a retarded question. My new cheap shitty headset fucking broke after a couple weeks but I can actually hear from them now after I went to sound options and changed the equalizer eitter fully to the right or left. Whats up with that? Can I actually use these still or will they blow up in the future? The mic still works too

>>57343978
>low virtual memory
Did you disable the pagefile? Is the drive it's on full? Normally Windows will grow the pagefile when it's nearing full. You only get that warning when it can't because the drive is full or the user has placed some limit on it.

Install W7 or W8.1.

Have you ever wondered why Automatic updates are the main reason nobody likes W10?
Well there you have it.

But now really, do a system restore.

>>57343978
>This alone is nowhere near the 4GB page file limit
Don't limit the pagefile. Let Windows manage the size. It sometimes allocates space in it for things that aren't currently swapped out.

Pagefile is set to start at 200MB and expand to 4GB.

It's a 32GB SSD, half of it is gone just for Windows. From a fresh restart and the 200MB page file, it sits around 10GB free. I don't think it's running out of space for it.

That is because a bug where you have to install a update manually.

Also they dont stall, they are still installing in the background, the automatic installer progress bar is fucked up.

>>57344101
Depends on the malware.

A factory reset just reformats the /data partition, leaving the system intact. It isn't a reinstall. The other partitions are just read-only, and without root access they remain pristine.

But with root you (or malware) can change what's in those partitions, and that will remain after a factory reset. Some malware manages to get root permissions and does that.

You can try flashing the original firmware or a custom ROM, which will wipe and replace everything on the system.

Download Windows 7 Ultimate x64 from MyDigitalLife forums pastebin.
Use Rufus to make a bootable USB with the ISO you downloaded.

Then install it and Download Daz Loader (From the same place).
Run it.

Use the driver discs that came with your parts.
>I dont have a CD/DVD drive
Download 3DPN to install your network drivers.
Download them from the website of their respective parts.

Done.
Run windows updates.

I'm mildly concerned about my job stability, and someone suggested I get a cert.

so the question is, do I go deep dive on LPIC 1 & 2, or go for the MCSA and dual MCSE?

>>57345338
Because a 2011-V3 motherboard with an ES CPU outperform all LGA 1151 CPUs of a similar cost.

>>57345501
They're better and cheaper if you go ES.

And ECC RAM is incredibly important, sorry you're such a faggot.

The second people throw out their old servers for new ones that use DDR5 is the second that DDR4 ECC RAM becomes cheaper than non-ECC RAM.

I'm trying to fix a little portable speaker addon I have for my GBA.

The old speakers are 8ohm 0.25 watts but I can only locally source 8ogm 0.5 watt mini speakers.

Can I use 0.5 watt speakers instead of 0.25 watt speakers in my small project? Would there be any downsides to doing so? The mini speaker addon uses batteries so I assume it will drain the batteries faster?

The WD blue is fine, had no problem connecting it to my desktop. It also showed up on the laptop in windows installer the first time I turned it on after plugging in the new drive, which makes me think it`s not a driver issue...

You really can't get any better than this for the price. Fiio has a good track record for pushing out quality audio. I personally have the X5 which is essentially the X1's big brother. But my friend has an X1 that I've tried out and it's great for the price.

Yeah it worked once but then it blue screened towards the end of windows install and now it won`t show up in bios or windows install. It also occasionally comes up with a hard drive failure error before boot, which doesn`t make sense because the hard drive is fine.

I was 15 when I learned what was really going on, and deleted my facebook.
Then some years later, I learned I still had a myspace from when I was 13, which was rather frightening as it still had a real photo of me. Thankfully, myspace still let users delete their accounts at that time.

I have had no social media for 4 years now. I have lost contact with all my old friends, but oh well. I know it sounds cringeworthy, but what is worth more? dicking around on the internet and sending messages to an old friend every few months whom you will never see again, or preserving the little bits of privacy you have left in the botnet world?

What I am left wondering now is what provider I should use for my email. I know that more secure ones are available, but when I remember how lavabit went down so suddenly it makes me afraid.

Do you think there is a security in trying to blend in with a gmail account, with usage strictly limited to email only?

>>57346354
Just use i3 window manager. There is a small learning curve but it is better than any DE.

>>57346459
Look for Google Dashboard. That page will show mostly everything that Google has on you, and you can delete stuff going down the list.

As for other profiles, delete them from their settings pages. To be safe, scramble all data and enter a false email and random password. Then delete the account. If there is no delete option, then simply scrambling ALL data, including email (use a temp email) and password, and then logging out will work. Just be absolutely sure you deleted everything before deleting the text file with your temp email and password.

After about a month stuff will start to disappear off search engines.

>>57346687
Youtube.
4chan or a certain board.
Your Email provider website (Outlook, Gmail).
Your local news website.
Nyaa or anichart.

It doesn't matter if it's connected to the network. If this is a legit notice, it'll come up regardless. It just means your public IP has recently had suspicious traffic. I had a similar notice from Comcast a few days after I had a virus in a VM.

>>57344652

If you change your BIOS from AHCI to IDE or vise versa, Win7 won't boot unless you first change a registry setting. The same applies to moving the drive from a computer that uses AHCI to one that uses IDE mode.

The simplest is just to set the target computer the same as the source, but sometimes it isn't an option.

To change from AHCI to IDE, the registry key is

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pciide

For IDE to AHCI, replace pciide with msahci. Go to the key. The "start" value should be 3. Change it to 0. That's it, the computer should now boot correctly in the other mode.

Hey I basically needed a VGA to HDMI adapter for one of my monitors.

I got one off amazon and was pretty confident it was the right sort of thing, but the HDMI port on my GPU and on the Adapter don't match-up.

Namely there's an L shape on one side of the HDMI ports on my GPU whereas there isn't on the adapter.

How have I fucked up?

You change it in the OS on the disk that you're moving. You check what mode it's in in BIOS setup, typically accessed by hammering F1, F2, F10, delete or escape during the BIOS logo screen.

And if one of the machines boots using UEFI and the other boots using BIOS, despair. It's possible to convert a Windows install from one to the other and I've done it, but it's a bit involved.

>>57348616
Yeah got it family, thank you for teaching me something today anon.

I'm still boned though because I need that HDMI port for my main monitor so the adaptor is still worthless.

For gaming, kinda shit due to non-integer scaling issues, running native 4k with lower quality settings or 1080 (or 4k with 50% scale for games that give you that option) will often look better.

Firstly, if you mean 2560x1440, stop calling it 2K, only cellphone makers use that, cinema standards use 2K to mean 2048x1080 or any crop thereof.
