how do you add an extended warranty to your purchase from the microsoft store online

I'm getting into emulation on Android.

I'm using a Galaxy Note 4 runnning Android 6.0.1 and I want to use a Dualshock 4 wired.

Apparently I should be able to simply plug it in and go, but nothing happens at all and it isn't recognized. Is the cable faulty?

I could only find s7 edge rom. Keep looking at XDA regularly I'm sure somebody will turn it up

I want to know if it's possible to select a specific Tor entry node. IE I want to route all my traffic through my buddy outside the US who offered if I could find a way to do it.

How much better does the regular ps4 look on a 4k TV compared to a 1080 TV? I have enough for a 4k TV but feel its barely necessary because barely anything we watch comes in 4k not to mention the highest size I can comfortably fit is 40 inches which most say 4k looks vest on TVs at least 65 inches?

tl;dr is a 4k TV worth it right now? The only thing likely to look improved is my ps4

>>57477443
Check Newegg, their filter is reasonably comprehensive and simple since you already know what you're looking for.

Or the more entertaining option, build your own:

1080p content will actually look worse on a 4k display.

>>57477527
How so

>>57477549
Upscaling

There is not enough 4k content out to warrant a 4k screen

>>57477549
Stuff always looks best at native resolution. A 4k display doesn't add anything to 1080p content. It just highlights its shortcomings. This is assuming it doesn't have anti-aliasing that doesn't suck.

Not him, but how much worse are we talking about? I now have two TVs in my apartment. One is a 42'' 1080p, and the other a 55'' 4K - I just got the latest, and the size difference turns it into my now main display, so I'm curious.

>>57477597
There's some better value CPUs.

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html

>>57477629
Not really worse at all since 4k is exactly double 1080p, so no approximations. Should look pretty much the same.

>>57477670
Nigga you're just fucking retarded

Take a screenshot of 1080p
Now scale that up 2.5x
Look how shitty it looks?
Thats upscaling
Either you're retarded or just fucking blind

Had a look around for info on the bootloader idea and found Dual-boot Repair. Its giving me shit about Z: being my location of my firmware boot partition? Anyway, some background info...

My original issue is that my PC would start acting super slow and shit would just grind to a halt, and I'd need to reboot. It was lightning fast beforehand, your typical SSD Windows installation. Just no idea why it packed in out of the blue.

After struggling to get it to boot into using a USB Windows installer, I finally managed to format it and begin a new install of Windows 10. However, this new issue of old hard drives stopping it from booting has arisen.

Is it possible there's a bootloader on the old drive I have that's causing this, then? I don't see how the HDD being a bad disk could stop my SSD loading Windows.

Guys, does anyone here know javascript? I have this Problem. I try to draw a shape with 4 corners. So I use the beginpath() function. I repeat that every frame 6 times and after almost 30 seconds the framerate dropped very very low. What is the problem with my code?? Been searching for days:

function drawFront() {
                ctx.beginPath();
                ctx.moveTo( // front
                    scene.box.func.calcPos(scene.box.names[i], 0, 0, 0).x,
                    scene.box.func.calcPos(scene.box.names[i], 0, 0, 0).y);
                ctx.lineTo(
                    scene.box.func.calcPos(scene.box.names[i], 1, 0, 0).x,
                    scene.box.func.calcPos(scene.box.names[i], 1, 0, 0).y);
                ctx.lineTo(
                    scene.box.func.calcPos(scene.box.names[i], 1, 1, 0).x,
                    scene.box.func.calcPos(scene.box.names[i], 1, 1, 0).y);
                ctx.lineTo(
                    scene.box.func.calcPos(scene.box.names[i], 0, 1, 0).x,
                    scene.box.func.calcPos(scene.box.names[i], 0, 1, 0).y);
                ctx.lineTo(
                    scene.box.func.calcPos(scene.box.names[i], 0, 0, 0).x,
                    scene.box.func.calcPos(scene.box.names[i], 0, 0, 0).y);

                if (scene.box[scene.box.names[i]].material.useFaces == true){
                    ctx.fillStyle = scene.box[scene.box.names[i]].material.faces[0].c;
                    ctx.fill();
                }
                if (scene.box[scene.box.names[i]].material.grid == true)
                    ctx.stroke();

            }

This is what draws the shape. scene.box.func.calcPos(scene.box.names[i], 1, 0, 0).x and .y just return a x and a y value where the next point should be. The framerate drops no matter what value is inside.

>>57478238
this is the code a bit more simplified:

function drawFront() {
                ctx.beginPath();
                ctx.moveTo(0,0);
                ctx.lineTo(0,10);
                ctx.lineTo(10,10);
                ctx.lineTo(10,0);
                ctx.lineTo(0,0);
                    
                if (fil_it == true){ // this is true
                    ctx.fillStyle = "#f00";
                    ctx.fill();
                }
                if (draw_grid == true) // this is true
                    ctx.stroke();
}

How can I transfer a game I have in my old android phone to my new one. The game it's not on the google playstore anymore and it has extra data (the app itself is 6 Mb and the data is 1 Gb). I already tried titanium backup but apparently it just takes the 6 Mb app, not the data

How badly would a 3gb 1060 be bottlenecked by a i3 4160? Logical increments pairs the 1060 with a i3 6100 (which is close enough in performance to a 4160 AFAIK), so it should be alright, right?

Are there any male micro USB 3.0 to male micro USB 2.0 cables? I would like on to connect my portable HDD to my phone (I have just been using a USB OTG adapter but want something nicer).

Is there a way to play .m4a files or transcode them to .mp3 or something in Foobar without having to install iTunes?

Computer inly shows black screen. I know I have to re-format it. What's the best way to achieve this and transfer my data to another drive?

What is a good program to check MicroSD and USB health?

They dont have SMART so i cant easy check it, or scan for bad sectors since they are removed.

>>57478538
You could try doing it manually. Figure out what "extra data means" and copy the files to the same location on the new phone. It could be either
- A bunch of shit under /data/data/com.publisher.appname/ (you'll need titanium backup or something similar because of the permissions, if that doesn't work you could try manually copying the entire directory to the new phone and chmodding everything in it)
- A bunch of shit under (ext)sdcard/Android/data/, just copy the folder to the same location and it should work
- One or more .obb files under (ext)sdcard/Android/obb/, just copy them and it should work
- If you moved/installed it to the SD card, a single file under /extsdcard/.android_secure/com.publisher.appname.asec that's basically just the APK, don't bother.

I can't tell if I'm retarded or just have a really shit monitor.

Basically, when I watch videos or cartoons on my monitor, it doesn't feel smooth during transitions (looking up, camera moving side to side).

This doesn't happen if I plug an HDMI cable from my TV to my computer. The TV makes the videos look extremely smooth.

Is it a problem with my monitor? And which monitor (preferably 1440p/1080p 144hz) can I get to make video playback smooth like on a TV?

Monitor is an Acer GN246HL.

People in the IT industry: What do you aspire to career-wise?

I'm nearing 3 years out of school as an engineer, and am pretty sure I don't want to be a senior technical person (unless you are literally the tech lead for the entire organization and making sweeping design decisions, you're solving the same stupid problems as the juniors just with more years on you). In a similar vein, technical management doesn't seem all that great either unless the business folks gives you near-full control. Lots of politics and bureaucracy on that side of the fence.

So on both sides it seems to end up as tedium.

>>57479209
Yes, it's on 144hz and I'm using the DVI-Dual D that came in the box.

I wouldn't know how to describe it because you'd have to literally be here, but I can try my best.

Anything (vidoes, anime) that has a lot of motion (sliding left, right, any direction) in it becomes a little choppy. The television though plays those transitions and motions very smoothly. The worst part of this problem is I wouldn't know where to even find a solution for it.

Maybe it's because the TV is much larger on a scale, or since a TV is literally designed to play shows and videos whereas a monitor is for desktop use and games.

Regardless of popularity/commonality, what video format has the best quality:filesize ratio? This is just for saving stuff for personal viewing, so I just need to be able to play them.

At the moment, I usually just H.264 .mp4 them.

No, he's mediocre. In bed, I mean. He may be a skookum choocher in other areas. What I'm saying is I fucked your dad and he didn't perform well.

I have just installed Fedora and then also proceeded to install Chromium.

All my fonts look shitty.

What do?

>>57480157
>At the moment, I usually just H.264 .mp4 them.

That's what I settled on several years ago when I got into encoding DVDs.

H.265 looks quite a lot better to me, particularly in areas with motion:

Anyone have Proxy recommendations and where to buy?

Hello all

I have the "Samsung Galaxy S7" so not the note version and I want a bigger micro SD card. Right now I have 32gb and it's not enough anymore.

I googled it and it said it support up to 200gb.

What is up with that? Since when is it 200gb? I was expecting 128gb or 256gb. Do we have 200gb cards now?

Which size card should I get?

Thank you

>>57480771
Jesus fuck what kind of fucked up shit is on here. Totally trust you guys

>>57480907
much of the info is older but is still very applicable

>>57480916
no cp please mr FBI?

>>57480892
It probably has to do with hardware limitations. Say you have a 64gb internal memory, and a 128gb microSD, that's 192gb total. So they make the hardware able to handle 200 just so nothing is on a razor's edge, if you know what I mean.

>My PSU becomes completely unresponsive for days.

I'll shut down normally and go to boot but nothing will happen, no response, no power, no post. I've tried jumping ground to PWR ON still no response.

But it starts working after being unplugged for a couple of days, probably fully discharging caps or some internal timer.

Can't RMA because they want me to pay for shipping and it'd be working once it got there anyway. What do?

Hi /g/

Is this possible?

Will a double cantenna provide gain for wifi when it's between two wifi points? Like have cantenna A pointed towards wifi A. Cantenna B pointed towards wifi B and coaxial to link the two antennae?

>>57482487
Yes its possible, you're just describing a directional radio repeater

>>57482504
Possible with simply two cantenna like that?

>>57482526
it's a passive repeater. that's how a yagi antenna works, all the directors act as repeaters.

>>57482526
No, if you wanted to use a passive repeater you would have a cantenna at the original transmisster and at the final receiver, and then a reflective panel between them.

If I boot in without it connected, then connect it (SATA hot plug mode enabled), it appears in Device Manager as normal, but Disk Management says its not there, and won't allow me to assign a drive letter and shit to it.

After a few minutes, it'll disconnect itself and I'm left having to re-plug it in.

Preferrably the data is transmitted encrypted but I can put everything behind VPN if needed, but I consider the storage itself acceptably secure to where encrypted storage probably only complicates things.

>>57477228
There's two options, you can send it to a company for millions of dollars, or you can open it up and see if the arms or servo needs replacing. If you're lucky and it is "just stuck" you have to manage to get it moving again without deforming the arm. Difficult, not impossible. If you're not doing anything else with the drive and you have the time you should really give it a try.

There's a problem with my motherboard or something so the clock keeps setting itself to the wrong time. I've tried replacing the cmos battery several times but it always breaks again after a week or so, so I'm just left spamming "Set time automatically" until it fixes itself.

Try unplugging RAM/GPU for a while along with the PSU. Maybe try to booth without or with only one of the RAM sticks. Try to boot with the onboard GPU. That way you can figure out what the problem is; Your motherboard, your RAM, or your GPU.

A few thoughts:
- You have insane-resolution chinese cartoons that don't fit on your monitor, and your player can't handle the rescaling at 144Hz. Your options are to get lower-quality videos for your lower-quality monitor, to get a better codec/media player that does GPU scaling or to buy a CPU that can keep up with your GPU.
- Could be a really weird GPU driver bug

How do i move the ethernet driver inside the laptop so that i can download and install the others?

My CD/DVD drive is broken, so that's not an option.

How do I make an array of entities that all have a variety of associated information in Javascript?
Javascript beyond the most basic scripting is totally alien to me.

I can create a class in Java perfectly fine, but it's really new stuff to me to be able to do things like

  translation: function(tx, ty) {
    return [
      1, 0, 0,
      0, 1, 0,
      tx, ty, 1,
    ];
  },
 
  rotation: function(angleInRadians) {
    var c = Math.cos(angleInRadians);
    var s = Math.sin(angleInRadians);
    return [
      c,-s, 0,
      s, c, 0,
      0, 0, 1,
    ];
  },
 
  scaling: function(sx, sy) {
    return [
      sx, 0, 0,
      0, sy, 0,
      0, 0, 1,
    ];
  },
};

A lot of laptops have SD card slots, maybe that one works
Maybe you can temporarily use the wireless card from another laptop if that driver is available
Otherwise you can use a linux live usb to copy the driver install files onto the system drive, then reboot to win7 and run the installers.

>>57483195
[ ] will give you an array,
{ } will give you an "object", which is just an association table/dictonary.

>How do I make an array
You use either [ ] or new Array

>of entities that all have a variety of associated information
These are just objects. You don't make classes in JS, just write out the object literal with { }.
Objects are a collection of names with values associated. The value can be anything like a number or object or function, the name is generally text.

Two questions:

First, it seems that right clicking and "run as admin" seems to have no effect, as some programs won't even start if I do that, any ideas?

Second, other than defrag and virus scan, what other programs can you use when your computer starts behaving oddly, as in a general check up or maintenance routine?

>>57477401
Depends on your internal HDD's specs. My laptop has a 500gb 5400rpm SATA3 drive, so a 1tb USB3.0 external really helped.
If you disconnect it while you play, you might corrupt files, ruin the drive's surface (worst-case scenario) or maybe just cause your game to glitch out.

Try running ubuntu live DVD.
I did that once and the bluetooth drivers of the laptop started working without even installing anything.
Just mounted the windows partition.

If I get one of those huge outdoor Wifi antennas and attach it to my wifi card on the back of my PC will it work as intended or will it not have enough power?

It will work but not to the maximum efficacy.
Worth it though if you use it for both the router and the wifi card.

>>57483341
You really really should pick up the "Transcending CSS" book to learn HTML.

It does not teach:
- Javascript
- all the available HTML tags but you can read about them on any old html5 site
- the Content Management Systems that pretty much every site requires

But it's the best way to actually start to understand what you're doing.

>>57483353
The second suggestion was to take the wireless card out of one laptop and plug it into the one that now doesn't have drivers. If you're lucky your installation has the drivers for another wireless card and you can use that card to download the drivers for the card you want to use.

The linux live USB has the drivers at least for USB, but probably even ethernet/wireless, even if wondows doesn't. You'd make a lunix live USB, boot it, and go to the website of your manufacturer where you hope the drivers are still available, download the windows drivers and save them on C:/users/anonymous/Desktop or something. Then if you boot in windows you can install the drivers normally.

>>57483368
There's probably an issue with your motherboard then. Try the reset jumpers if you have them. Let it "rest" by taking out the PSU for a while. Do all the components look good, no bulging caps or burn marks on the board? You might have to replace it.

>>57483420
It'll probably have enough power to do something, but it might not be as much as you hoped. Read the datasheets of your card and antenna to see if the powers match.

>>57483258
anyone?

>>57483441
>>57483444
Yeah I highly doubt my stock card has enough power, would one of those USB adapter ones work you think? Only thing I'm worried about is that I've heard there are power/frequency regulations and laws and limits for how powerful it can be. How hard would it be to get an adapter that can output maximum power for a huge outdoor antenna?

trying to calibrate monitor with an x-rite i1 Display Pro, getting fucked up results. what am i doing wrong?

If prolog can do string handling, yep.

>>57483444
Motherboard looks fine but it keeps happening after trying everything. How did you get to the conclusion that the problem must the the mobo? I can't/don't want to get a replacement if I'm not quite sure what the issue really is

does /g/ use download managers ? I havent used one in a while and i would like to get advice on wich to use. Anything but JDownloader.

>>57483469
As consumer you do not have to worry about power regulations. If you can buy it in your state then it should be legal to use in your state. The antenna does not increase power so it doesn't affect the regulations, but it does increase range. That's the beauty of a good antenna.

>>57483478
Yes. They'll give you the "money"/credit as long as you're willing to go through the steps to become a customer.

>>57483496
I would not recommend C for sting handling and prompting, certainly not if you're not already comfortable in those languages. Java is okay but you'd have to enjoy java.

>>57483679
It's not a problem with the GPU because you said you tried the on-board and external and the issue persists.
If it were a problem with the RAM, you should at least be able to enter the BIOS without any RAM inserted.
It's still possible another device is the problem, you can try to unplug everything except the PSU, monitor and a keyboard (maybe even the keyboard) and see if there's still a problem. Then that means the problem is the PSU or the motherboard, because you disconnected everyhting else. I don't often see PSUs causing beeping-booting cycles so that's why I say your motherboard is dying.

what's the point of using a download manager anyways? Most browsers have a built-in one, right?

>>57483739
downloading multiple chunks at the same time to prevent the webserver throttling your download speed

>Yes. They'll give you the "money"/credit as long as you're willing to go through the steps to become a customer.
ok, thanks lad
you were very helpful

>>57483707
ill give it a try
>>57483739
>whats the point
extremelly low download speeds can be frustrating. download managers are designed for that kind of internet connection AFAIK.
IE: if you download a large file on a browser and the connection dies you lose the whole file. in a DL manager you get to keep what you downloaded so far.

>>57483715
>I would not recommend C for sting handling and prompting, certainly not if you're not already comfortable in those languages. Java is okay but you'd have to enjoy java.
I've built an assembler/interpreter in C and I'm still not very versed in it, I feel. I'll probably go with Java since I'm most familiar with it and maybe switch to C++ once I get better at it

i recently installed a new mobo/RAM/CPU + a fresh install of windows 7 and im idling @ over 4gb

>>57483715
So I should not care about the motherboard beeps and go straight for a motherboard?

>ask for DL managers
>ppl keep posting firefox addons
>none of them compatible with palemoon

>>57483945
You can't use your motherboard as it is now right?
If you had a manual to decode the beeps with you should have said so, but otherwise you'll have to get your motherboard repaired or replaced.

Did you disconnect everything from your motherboardr and still not able to get into the BIOS in any way? Then write off the motherboard.

>>57477146
Which free app has text recognition feature? Camsanner has it for premium users only

>>57483995
My b, I forgot to say that the Gigabyte website says those beeps meant PSU issue (manual should say the same but I don't have it as of now).
And yes, not even without disconnecting everything does this work.
Thanks for your patience anon

Are there Linux distros out there that run well on a 600MHz Transmeta Crusoe CPU? I can get a Libretto mini-laptop cheap locally but it's equipped with one of those (and 128MB RAM). I've never used a computer with a Transmeta CPU before so I have no idea about them.

>>57484099
That's some old stuff.
What do you want to run on it?

>>57484131

A text editor mostly. I really just want a portable word processor, but having other functions available would be nice.

>>57484140
>portable word processor
There are better choices really.
You can install any distro if you want.
I'd suggest puppy/slax/lubuntu though.
Why Libretto though?

>>57484165

It's just cheap, and like retro hardware. I'm also in my car a lot and a mini-laptop would be a lot easier to use in that setting. I could get a netbook I guess, but the Libretto is cheap and cute.

>>57484187
>It's just cheap
How cheap?
You can get a decent thinkpad under 100$ if you look.

>>57484040
Yeah in this case I'd trust the mobo first, especially if you enjoy your current motherboard. bit weird to have your PSU break down though, those usually have a longer lifetime than most of the other components. Maybe you were drawing too much or too little current? You should make an estimate of what you're going to need to avoid it in the future. You can read the wattage of all your components or use one of the many web calculators like http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator

>>57484199

$70, maybe less if I can haggle.

>>57484227
You can get X60 with this price.
Anyway make sure to install the floppy drivers if you plan to use Libretto.

I have a 5TB Toshiba external HDD that always slows down my PC when it is plugged but I want to use it for backups. Should I use it with either a Raspberry Pi 3 or build a cheapo Linux second pc and use it as a glorified NAS drive?

Hey guys.
I have a dinosaur of an LG L9II (aka D605) running stock Jellybean. All of a sudden it's started saying that there is no network connection, despite my SIM being inserted the right way and all. At first a quick reboot would fix the problem, but since yesterday night I've rebooted it a dozen times to no avail. Is this a common issue with Android phones? Is there anything I can do about it, eg. rooting and installing a custom ROM in case it's a software issue? Or is my phone cucked?
In case it's cucked, could any Germanfags in here point me to to any online stores where I might find chink phones or devices at lower-than-usual prices? Money's tight, I'm new in the country and I have no idea where to go.

>>57484358
For a static website you can use as little as lighttpd, nginx or apache, you'll have to make the .html files yourself, but if it's just converting from a facebook page it should be doable.

If you don't wanna do html, you should look for a static website generator. I enjoy writing markdown so I generate my website from my markdown files but there's a lot of different options.

>easy to maintain
That's quite vague, there's a lot of different aspects to "maintainging a website"
My personal take is the following:
- easy content: markdown + static website generator
- easy adding/chaning/removing: network drive
- quality assurance: validator and dead link checker
- crisis management: version control and a local copy/"backup"

I think this is "easy management", but there's a lot of different components. You can make it easier by giving up on either quality and crisis management, or by giving up on making it a static website (shame!) and just using wordpress or something.

>>57484853
cheers, but maintenance will be done by some dumbfucks
so there will be some elements that will be easily editable by them

chaging title of the main page article
changing time table content

will probably have to look in to wordpress

>>57484669
Building a NAS is worth it, but a rPi can also be a NAS. If you're just going to use this one drive and it has external power, use the Pi. (rPi can't power the drive from its USB port)
If you want to build a greater backup solution with RAID and such Pi won't do.

>>57484878
Then you cannot use a static website. You'll have to use a CMS like wordpress you mentioned.
Have a look through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_frameworks#Comparison_of_features

>>57484934
Thank you for your advice. Yes, the Toshiba has external power. I would just use it in my PC but it slows it down in every way, including booting and shutting down. I only have the one drive so no RAID. I'll go for the Raspberry Pi 3 solution.

2 questions. Main one is what would causes a hardlocks when just playing games? ive had to restart my system a good few times for different games and not all from the same studios. DOOM, Old Blood, Sniper elite 3, CS GO. just hardlocks. i assume a harddrive issue? At least i have less blue screens than i did on w10.

2nd question. Any idea why on this set up i can not max out The Old Blood and get 60+fps when others with my gpu or lower can? i only get 20fps on maxed or even on ultra. i have to set it to high to get 60fps. I wish more games got love for optimization like the new DOOM did.

>>57484996
There are actually GPS implants for pets in case they get lost. In some European countries I think it's even required by law to get one for your dog/cat. You should just ask your vet about it, in my country they go for around 20-25€.

>>57485038
Are the owners able to access the gps data at their own leisure or is the vet the only one who can access it?

is there a program i can use to rip music from a flash file

>>57485023
A dead hard drive could cause both of those problems. And a lot more problems. Listen for a "ticking" sound if you can. Make sure the HDD is on when you listen. You can also do a speed test or just try to move a large file(500 MB or more) from one folder to another. If it's consistently slower than 5 megabytes, seems dead to me.

For question 2:
Check your cables inside your case aren't blocking the GPU fans.
Other system specs could be the reason you have awful frames.


A dead hard drive could cause both of these problems too.

How do I host servers (FTP, Torrents, etc) in a residence where I don't have access to the router?

Is letting a game run way above 120FPS a bad thing for my GPU? My temps are fine running around 50C.

FYI, I have an R9 390 and running Stepmania 3.9 (13 year old game) and it hits around 600-900FPS during an actual game.

The way I browse this shithole of a site is I keep the pages on my bookmarks bar. Now suddenly chrome doesn't want to refresh to the top of the page when I click them; it takes me to the same spot I was at before I refreshed the page. This is super fucking annoying and I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem/knows how to fix it.

>>57485163
set an FPS limit ingame or with external programs (RivaTuner)
extremelly high fps can cause throttling or overheating, even in extremelly old games

>>57485067
Well, you can completely disregard everything I said. I did a quick google, and it turns out that these implants are simply a sort of ID, without any sort of tracking mechanism in them. A second google search, however, turned up multiple companies that sell GPS tracking devices that get attached to the animal's collar. They seem to cost between 60 and 200$ with about 10$ charged yearly for the service. The two different models I've seen are both to be used with a smartphone app.

>>57485163
No.

You should turn vSync anyway.

>>57485325
What kind of noises?
Grinding or clicking?

Purchasing a new modem, any suggestions? I have Optimum/Cablevision and looking to upgrade to their 300Mbps plan.

>>57485356
I'm just worried since I've never had a pc component fail on me in all my life.
My PC siting next to me and occasionally it does this low pitched 'brrrrt' noise. Then when I open really large files the hard rive goes crazy and begins to clack a bunch of times for a couple seconds then it stops.

>>57485411
SMART doesnt show anything bad.
Sounds like your average worn HDD, but that doesn't mean its damaged.
Your HDD has 4 Years(35k hours) of use so its normal for it to start making noises.

Try to get a new one if you are worried, they are $40-50.

When it starts clicking then worry.

>>57485411

Maybe not the correct board but why do so many PC gamers use headsets instead of speakers? Is it because of increased team emphasis on PC? The ability to produce higher quality audio?

>>57485700
Personally I hate headsets, but I got them so my games don't bother the people living around me. Now that I have my own place I use speakers. Some of these games have high pitched noises that you can hear across the house even with the doors closed

>>57485700
Doesn't feedback with mic, can hear direction of sound in games with sophisticated sound engines, live with parents and don't want them hearing all their stuff, are not aware a PC can be connected to audio equipment that isn't shitty "PC speakers".

Low quality ones go for that much, but good ones go for $80-$90 for 250GB.

So I have a home networking question.
I have two routers (One is my Verizon router, one is a router running DDWRT) because my family needed stronger wireless signal on the other side of my house.
The DDWRT router is hardwired to one of the ports on the Verizon router (LAN 3 or some crap on the Verizon side, WAN on the DDWRT side).

The question I have is- how do I set it up so that they use the same subnet?
