Stay away from gaymen laptops. They constantly overheat, throttle to no end, and battery life while gaymen on the go will make you want to kill yourself.

You have been warned.

>>57663809
waiting for a gpu is literally the shittiest advice. when the 1080 ti finally gets announced, then released, and then to the stores to actually buy it'll first be:

1. fucking hard to get, you'll be in line waiting thank to another paper release
2. fucking expensive while the older models probably get a discount

and at the point you get one there's a new retard telling you to wait for whatever gpu is "around the corner"(read: half a year away) and the cycle continues. just buy whatever the fuck you need/want at a given time and hope you get some kind of a decent deal on it. if there's a real reason to wait e.g. don't see any value in upgrading or need something which the new gpus are able to do and the current one you have doesn't, then by all means wait.

I have been having blue screens with my desktop, and I am 100% sure that it is a hardware issue because I installed Ubuntu and it also crashed.

What is the best way to track down a specific piece of hardware which has the problem?

I have already tried swapping out the RAM and GPU, and in the history of owning this desktop I have replaced hard drives. So what I believe I am left with is the Mobo, PSU, or dare I say the fucking optical drive.

I also took pics of the Ubuntu error message, here is one of them.

If I have two SSD drives connected, and only use one of them frequently (OS, program files), will the second (storage) still wear just as fast?

>>57664745
The second one wont wear meanwhile its not on use.

The OS one will wear but modern SSDs wont die even if they are on torture tests for 2-4 years.

>>57664778
Ok, because I was planning to buy another smaller 850 evo (have a 1tb on the way) before I decide what to do with it. I'll just put everything on that and use an HDD for storage. Originally I was going to use the 1tb for storage/infrequently used program files, and a smaller one for OS/frequently used program files.

I've got some tables in a local database

Say they look like this

id(PK) gameseries(Foreign Key) gameplatform(Foreign Key) gamename
1 2 (id) 5 (id) Abc

I want to print this data in a PHP and this works

<?php
echo "<table>";
echo "<th>id</th> <th>series</th> <th>platform</th>  <th>name</th>";
$query = "SELECT id, gameseries, gameplatform, gamename FROM TableName";
$resultset = $conn->query($query);
    while ($games = $resultset->fetch()) {
    echo "<tr>";
    echo "<td>".$games["id"]."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$games["gameseries"]."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$games["gameplatform"]."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$games["gamename"]."</td>";
    echo "</a>";
    echo "</p>";
}
echo "</table>"; ?> 

But rather than actually showing the platform or showing the series, it's just displayed as numbers like "1" or "3". How can I get it to properly print the table?

Appreciate any help

>>57665071

Meanwhile more stuff gets written over it the harder it is to recover it, and sometimes is not possible.

>>57664870
Answering myself but you need to use Inner Joins

>>57665139
In Z170 motherboards just overclocking capabilities.
They all have what you might need, multiple fans, PCIe Slots etc.

Other might be how it handles more than 2 PCIe cards like x16 and x8 or x8 and x8.

Just get a GA-Z170XP-SLI if you are looking for something cheap.

What's the best way to do backups?

Is it possible to retrieve individual files from an image? Right now I want to back up my main drive but I'll probably do a fresh install of windows when upgrading to an SSD in a near future and then I want to format my (now) main drive and from the backup get back a handful of files, like my music library and stuff

Is there an alternate way to access an internal IP address from an external IP point without resorting to Port forwarding?

It seems a little redundant to first setup a static IP/DHCP Reservation and then also setup port forwarding. The internal LAN already has a clear identification of each connected device in the first step itself, anyway to simply use that?

>>57665544
do you want something for your living room? tv
do you want something for your desk (i.e. you want to sit close to the screen)? get a monitor

tv's are bigger, monitors have higher ppi.

>>57665560

Just picking up HTML/CSS (very first computer stuff learning for me). I don't understand the need for both margin and padding in CSS. Don't they essentially perform the same function? Or can someone point me to a resource explaining why?

padding is the space between the content and the border, margin is the space outside the border

>>57666121

If you're talking about shitty Logitech speakers plugged in by a 3.5 mm jack, no. The D/A conversion is still being handled by the motherboard.

If your have speakers or an audio interface that plug in through USB/Thunderbolt/Firewire, then the conversion will most likely be much much better.

To give you more control.
If you didn't have margin, all borders would always be touching each other.
If you didn't have padding the border would be to close to the content.

Codecademy sucks, and do programming first.
Yes programming is harder, but HTML/CSS alone is useless AND it's easier to learn HTML/CSS once you can code.

Every time I do something like open a new tab
computer has that loading wheel. Even when I restore the system or reinstall windows. Does anyone know what could be causing these issues?

forgive me my xtreme stupidity, but is the overclocking potential on the GTX 1060 real low already? It sounds like it's not really possible to do much better than factory OC on cards that have it. Not to say you can't squeeze another 1 or 2 fps, but...I had previously been thinking of getting the Xtreme Gaming variant with the absurdly large heat sink, and then getting into overclocking after it starts falling behind in a year or two. Was initially thinking that heat would be the limiting factor on overclocking but a day's worth of reading is making this seem less simple than that...

Normally I'd sort this info out on my own and learn but I don't want to miss out on good deals over the next couple of days, and I know there's several day's reading ahead of me to learn about this stuff properly.

I'm not sure about making a bootable usb to install an os.

I have the iso of windows 10 I got from my school, and saved it to a usb flash drive. How do I make it bootable? I know I need a tool but microsoft redirects me to a link that downloads 10 to my flash drive, and I'm told I should be using rufus instead.

I'm completely stupid about this, I have no idea what to do and I'm spooked I might fuck up installing my os once I finish a build.

Would a i3-6100 go well with an rx 480? Also, what are some good, reliable, and cheap psu+cases that will handle the watts of the gpu and cpu? is that all i have to worry about in terms of heat and watts? Also, what graphics card would go good with those? Should I get dual graphics card or no?

My current monitor is IPS.

Which Linux distros meet the following criteria:

1) Have live USB images that both boot and install in UEFI mode without a fight

2) Have a kernel new enough to handle an i7-6700k properly

Maybe you haven't formatted the whole disk, but only the partition ? I don't know how win8 works, but if the bootloader is outside the partition, it could explain it.

> Also, which linux distro should I install on my laptop?

What do you want to do ? The best Linux distro depends a lot of your uses.

> My laptops gpu is sort of bad but its i7 so I guess it should be good enough to hold linux?

Linux can run on a Pentium 4. It depends on what you want to do with it.

Ubuntu and Linux Mint are 2 distros easy for beginners.
Without more information, I would suggests you to try Ubuntu. I personally don't like the native interface (Unity), but I encourages you to try it.
If you don't like it, there are others "flavours" of Ubuntu with different interfaces. Most popular interfaces are Gnome (Ubuntu Gnome), KDE (Kubuntu), Mate (Ubuntu Mate) and XFCE (Xubuntu).
Anyway, you can't know what you'll like without trying.

C++ Question.

How do I break an infinite while loop that is inside the main from a function inside the header file ?

Noscript updated and I'm no longer able to use the url bar to search with startpage. How would one add an exception allowing XSS for that? Looking at google in the whitelist made me think it was easy, but it wasn't as simple as that.

>>57668608
>Does Lynx open in the same terminal you run it from, or is it a separate window?

There is probably a boot order option and you must put the disk first.
Also, the problem could be the order of the boot mode (UEFI or classic BIOS). Try changing it if you can.

>>57668776
>How do I break an infinite while loop that is inside the main from a function inside the header file ?

You can't.
What's you can do is returning a value what take 0 if you want to stop the loop, and 1 otherwise.

In the main, use this value.

>>57668733
THE BEST

>>57668837
Thank you very much. I used exit(0);

In the header there is a function like:

void a (int count){
if (count == 1)
exit(0);
}

In the main, I asked for that function and passed in count and it seems to be doing the trick.

I either get the windforce trim or the xtreme gamer trim, the only difference being how much more fucking huge the heat sink on the xtreme gamer trim is. It is ridiculous, and if heat is the only limiting factor to overclocking then there is a shitload of overhead with that cooling system (60C at highest load, looks like).
