Why do I need a different user agent to use netflix on linux? I have all the right plugins and everything, how does pretending to be a mac make any difference?

>>57596443
it depends on what you're optimizing for. keeping the platters spinning is theoretically better for longevity (the drive will probably fail while it's spinning up or spinning down, so try to avoid those actions), but there's a (probably negligible) energy cost to keeping them spinning. it depends on if you're paying for electricity or generating it from some tightly rationed source.

>>57596454
chrome-stable, not chromium but the actual closed stable release, can access netflix w/o any workarounds.

i also learned recently that they made a nice lite deb for it too. 64 only tho

How can I search a folder of images to check which files have the same line of metadata in them?

video is flickering on mpchc, it blinks to black for a split second every minute or two

Is there any possible way you can disable cursor movement with a magic trackpad?

Let me explain: I have an old ass magic trackpad I'm using right now with hackintosh. While it's pretty good for certain gestures, I already have a perfectly good mouse that makes some things more comfortable to use.

So I decided to use both, one of them with each hand. Problem: I can't -only- use the trackpad for gestures. Meaning sometimes I accidentally move the goddamn mouse cursor. I have checked in bettertouchtool and the only thing you can do with that is to lower the sensitivity to really low values, but not 0.

Is there any program that does this shit?

>>57597977
Depends on your OS, but I assume you have 16 GB of RAM. In which case this is perfectly normal if you're using Windows.

Unused RAM is useless, so most OSes cache programs/files you use a lot when it isn't used by anything actively running.

>>57598098
its important, i think win8 and above NEED UEFI
check other options, most modern bios do have a "fast boot" option that lets you skip some bios procedures.
if you touch other stuff in the bios at least google what they do before changing options

Weird problem, I'm hoping you guys can help with.

I want to order parts for a computer from the US and use a freight forwarder I have access to. Catch is I can only make a single order (I have a voucher for a free order under $200US shipping cost); as in, a single box. I get boned if I have to pay for shipping, which eats up the savings compared to buying domestically.

>Which vendor (Newegg, Amazon, et al) is cheapest on average?
>Do all vendors place multiple orders into one box?

>>57598231
Some vendors have option to ship all at once (which takes a bit longer) and comes in 1 box

>>57598231
there's no guarantee you only get one box.
if two items are in different warehouses, you'll get two packages.

>>57598261
is it something I can ask them to do if I contact them?

>>57598262

>>57598288
chyea pretty much

I'd suggest swapping your monitor to use whatever ports are on the motherboard while doing so

>>57598288
yes.
if you change brands (amd, nvidia) use display driver uninstaller before you install the new driver.

>>57598290
post speccy summary

>>57598290
See if Linux recognizes it. No idea what's causing that, just a suggestion.

>>57598288
Depends on the OS. On Linux the easiest procedure was to install the drivers before switching out the GPU. On Windows, you can usually use your new GPU with limited fuctionality (600x800 resolution), so you can install drivers after switching the GPU.

how do i see how much internet my computer got on it

>>57598301
Wow, after i turned off pc and started it again it had super fast boot. Literally 1 second windows boot because i changed options in bios to work on integrated graphics (i dont have dgpu) but then when restarted it took long time again. Not sure whats going on.

It would be a 4 gpu crossfire setup with insane power consumption. Thought about a 2011 sandy bridge cpu.

You can ask them if they do that or not, explain the situation and they can help you if its possible. Use live chat or phone call.

I'd generally avoid dual gpu setups, the support is mostly lacking or not present at all.

I did something foolish recently. I was on Control Panel looking for programs i don't use anymore to uninstall, and saw multiple "Microsoft Visual C++ (insert year here)". At that time not knowing that every one of those packages had their importance i started uninstalling the "old" ones. I may have deleted 3 or 4 iirc. Now fast forward to today i wanted to edit a video with Adobe Premiere, but when i opened Premiere it gave me an error saying "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again.". Now i tried updating the graphics drivers, i even uninstalled the driver and installed it again, it didn't work.

tl;dr How do i find which Microsoft Visual C ++ packages i'm missing and install them?

Of course now with the Internet of Shit it's kind of different. Where put shit on standby and it just keeps running in the background. Connected a Wii (the original thing) recently and found out that when you have a setting enabled called "WiiConnect24" the wii keeps being connected to the internet constantly in the hopes that it may receive some updates or messages. Discovered this because I wanted to put my wii somewhere else and the fucking thing was hot despite not having been used for 3 days. the best thing? They turned that fucking service off 3 years ago but of course didn't remove the feature.

Oh so I'm just retarded. Thanks mate, eased me off a little bit.

I didn't know it was that important. Heard somewhere that thermal paste was being phased out or something a few years ago but never bothered to check.

Just one more question though: Does the mobo heat up because the cpu isn't dissipating heat at a fast enough rate or is it its own heatsink that's borked or something?

(warning: actually stupid question)

I bought a new TV and I fixed some of the problems I've been having with it. I enabled volume equalization to be able to hear the dialogue and not destroy my walls at the same time, and I also turned down sharpness to 0 (turns out everyone does this).

But now... I'm not sure whether I like how my color looks. It seems a bit cold and washed out, human faces look a bit pinker on my monitor. But maybe it's supposed to look that way and maybe I should just get used to it. If I just turn the color up it also bugs me - I keep thinking this isn't the "intended" way to watch movies and it distracts me from watching.

What do? I tried calibrating it with some pack of clips I downloaded, but those require a color lens to look at your TV from. I can't find any recommended calibration settings since it's a pretty obscure model (Hitachi 40HBT42).

Anyone ever used phaser on their web server? How do you set it up? The tutorial just tells you how to find your web root and then ends.

>>57601990
>Heard somewhere that thermal paste was being phased out or something a few years ago but never bothered to check

For OEMs, sure. Cheaper brands will use thermal pads because they're more cost effective albeit with worse heat dissipation. You're not an OEM though, and everyone uses some form of thermal compound in whatever form.

>Does the mobo heat up because the cpu isn't dissipating heat at a fast enough rate or is it its own heatsink that's borked or something?

There are several other components on your motherboard which generate heat, but they are passively cooled with your case's airflow. You may not have enough air flowing through the case, but you didn't list the temperatures.

>>57602301
I didn't realize it was a hypothetical question. Yes, HWMonitor can be used to do so provided the mobo has a sensor for it, but if it's not a problem you're currently encountering then don't worry about it.

>>57602299
Those features are actually all ok. LG and Samsung are currently best buys for TV panels and features. I would personally recommend an LG (because I have one) just because of the magic remote (google it).

TMPIN3 is above average, but acceptable (VRMs can run @ 80~115C depending on quality). SYSTIN doesn't seem right, might be a bug in the BIOS duplicating the value.

>might be a bug in the BIOS duplicating the value.
Would updating the BIOS solve it?

Now that I think about it, I haven't updated my BIOS with the latest version on ASUS' website, I'm worried it might brick the board or something.

>>57602711
I don't know. Depends on the model. I'm not entirely sure what SYSTIN represents either, i.e. whether it's just an average of all TMPIN values (and only one is reporting for that board).

Doesn't really matter if it's just a visual bug anyway.

Once, I discovered a load of awesome European dance music from the 1990s, which wasn't uploaded anywhere else, and I took it upon myself to track it down and identify it. I asked in the comments section of one of the best songs, and a week later that song had been removed. None of the songs had videos, none of the uploads had comments, and I had never heard any of it before despite really enjoying 1990s dance music and knowing a fair amount about it.

It turns out the music I liked was actually Eurobeat, and I have no idea why the song I commented on got removed. It was probably just a coincidence. Coincidences happen. It's back up now anyway.

if I go for i3-6300/1050ti in about three months, will I end up regretting it?

yes
get an i5
hell even a FX-8350 will give a better experience

>buying a 1050 Ti instead of a 1060
if you could buy 10 oranges for 2€ or 2 orangees for 1€ would you stick to the 1€ package ?

Went to Best Buy and bought a TV, guy offered 4k HDMI cables, said that they allow more bandwidth to pass through for a better picture, I declined

Are those a ripoff?
