How do VPNS work?

What's the best paid VPN for posting on cuckchan?

Is it a retarded idea to use pgp to generate passwords?

windows 8 or windows 10 with shut up windows 10 and spybot antibeacon?

can I use a display port to hdmi for a two monitor set up? I bought two samsungs and they only have HDMI and some analog input. So it would be display port from the GPU to the hdmi in the monitors.

how fucked it is?

I had this in the other thread, but just to leave here:


Friend of mine has a HP EliteBook 840 G3 for work, and wants to use her monitors at home for more work. She has one already connecting to a VGA slot. If she gets another monitor that uses the DisplayPort, will it allow all 3 monitors (2 external and the laptop's monitor) to work? "Videocard" is the integrated Intel HD 520 (CPU i7-6600U). I have seen reports with similar situations saying it does work, but I can't confirm with hers. I checked the intel website for the i7 processor and it says it can potentially support 3 displays, so it is in the realm of possibility.

Any input or personal experience with this kind of laptop /g/?

Some damaged sectors reaching the zone where you must start backing up.

If they keep increasing move it to secondary duty to something simple like non important temporary file storage.

So I got a new PC a couple of days ago and I noticed that the USB ports left some scratches on my USBs (pic related is my Logitech Dual Action controller, which suddenly stops working, idk if from this). I also noticed some holes which I don't remember seeing. Can anyone tell me what's causing these scratches/holes. and how to fix it?

>>57692044

Holes are always there. I have a USB with the similar little imprints. It is part of the USB design. I believe it might be to allow for the slot to "grip" the USB and prevent movement.

You said new PC, so it could be that these slots are brand new and tight. So entering a USB and sliding it in and out might scratch the surface of the USB. It is a nonissue as long as it doesn't damage the connectors of the USB. Nearly all of my USBs have it from my new computers.

If you want some pics for reassurance, let me know.

So I just installed debian and it runs great so far, but l don't know how to install the flash package because I'm new to linux , can someone help me?

>inb4 kill yourself retard

>>57692044
The holes no idea but the scratches are something normal.

How would I go about partitioning and setting up the bootloader to have a Windows 10/Arch uefi dual boot?

>>57692043
The new drive is a WD blue,
I know about the segate meme now, but this has been going for 2.7 years so I cant really complain.

I guess it can be my dedicated torrent drive now

I've always held the belief that:
1. Torrenting new releases is totally unsafe
2. Torrenting movies released 0-2 years ago is pretty unsafe
2. Torrenting movies/tv shows/games/music older than 2-3 years old is safe

I've never thought to ask about it, but is this rule bullshit or is it generally true?

>>57692227

I can't say statistically if the rule has basis, but anecdotally I have my own personal experience would push me to agree with you. But I am not sure if I would agree with the ranges. I am more conservative, adding a year or two in regards to what is considered "safe". You also have to take into account the size and power of the movie/company behind it. I use to torrent without any sort of protection, and this rule kept me pretty safe for the most part. I got cocky and chased after a newer movie, and got sent a letter. It wasn't threatening or anything. Honestly, I could of probably kept with my habits, but I figured better safe than sorry, and started using a VPN. Even so, I torrent things so rarely both back then and especially now, using that rule plus protection seems to have worked well enough. No other letters since.

I don't know what your habits are and how you protect your anonymity on the internet or if you are using a residential connection or like a apartment/university connection, so your mileage may vary.

>>57692227
what do you mean by safe?

I just normally wait a day or two for a tv show to sort through the viruses

>>57692223
Honestly I've actually found seagate drives to be pretty reliable. Moreso than my WD drives.

>>57692342
I meant companies looking to pursue legal action.

>>57691871
Your computer and the VPN server do some fancy crypto to talk to each other in such a way that nobody else on the internet can figure out what you're saying to each other. Your computer sends everything that would go out to the internet to the VPN server. VPN server takes it and spits it out to the internet. When replies come in, it forwards them back to you.

If the VPN provider is trustworthy and keeps no logs and etc they provide a high degree of privacy. If they're untrustworthy they can log all your shit and see everything that your ISP would otherwise be able to see about what you're doing online. Welcome to the world of security where in the end you have to trust somebody, it's just a matter of who.

you'll have a hell of a time finding one that isn't banned, since you aren't the first person to have the idea of using some IP that isn't yours to shitpost.

>>57691923
Probably not. depends on how you're doing it though. Plenty of programs can generate passwords though, most password managers have a good one. and of course you can always just

head -c 16 /dev/urandom | base64

why do you want to do it with pgp?

>>57691946
should work fine.

>>57692025
just go ahead and do it, there's at least a 90% chance it'll Just Werk

>>57692073
no, really, you shouldn't be using flash. it's a massive security hole and last I heard it wasn't being maintained for Linux anymore anyway.

a friend overclocked his fx-8350, it sits at 4.8Ghz... ALL DAY

that shit ain't normal right? I've only ever oc'd intel, never bothered with AMD

He doesn't care as long as its cool but yeah, that's gotta be some wear and tear right...right?

>>57692419
>why do you want to do it with pgp?

Not so much that I want to so much as it was the first thing I thought of. From your username, to the site in question, message is the password itself. But a password manager sounds like it's ultimately a smarter proposition. Would you suggest any? I've heard good things about Keypass.

>>57692420
I mean as long as the voltage isn't too high it should be fine, but unless he has a golden chip, 4.8ghz on an FX-8350 probably indicates a pretty high voltage.

Gigahertz themselves don't kill a processor. It's all about the voltage. And heat—although excessive voltage can still kill a processor even with excellent cooling and temperatures.

>>57692419
>there's at least a 90% chance it'll Just Werk

Alright, I'll give it a shot. Got my fingers crossed when the monitor comes in. Thanks.

Can someone tell me why you'd ever want to encode your music as CBR?

From what I understand, VBR offers both better quality (bitrate can shoot above target when needed) AND smaller file sizes (bitrate can drop below target when unneeded, which is typically more often than shooting above target therefore leading to net bit savings compared to CBR).

Am I missing something, or am I right in my assertion that CBR encoding is completely obsolete outside of VOIP where an expected rate is useful?

>>57692466
Well, yes, that'll give you a strong password, but I wouldn't do it simply because it's like using the butt-end of a screwdriver to hammer in nails.

Keypass is a good password manager. It has a password generator and other bells and whistles. It's originally Windows software, but there are ports to Linux, Android, and I believe to Mac. It's not cloud-based or anything, the password database is just a file. This means you have to set up any syncing you want on your own, but it also means that you don't have to trust another organization with your passwords or transmit anything over the network, the file just goes where you decide to put it.

>>57692510
In modern times you're pretty much correct on this. For a long time though it was easy to find software and players and devices that got confused by VBR in various ways, though.

>>57692510
just realtime stuff (VOIP) and legacy decoders (that don't support VBR, at this point that only includes very old stuff)

Is there any way to just plug in an iPhone 7 into my desktop computer and browse/backup files manually? My computer is running Windows 7.

Is it even worth allowing DNS request to/from my VPN home server when it's only going to get connected by VPN clients for accessing the local file server?

I.e. the server has no requirement to open connections to the WAN.

What do people see in Poweramp? It's the most popular and lauded music player on Android, but I just took a look at the screenshots on the app store page and it's absolutely disgusting. It looks like something from the gingerbread era, and also like something that a Pajeet would cobble together with such a poorly designed and noisy interface.

You're right, but people are slow to catch up. It's going to take a while before most people stop encoding 320k as opposed to V0. Same thing with WPS which has been proved to be completely busted security-wise five years ago, yet it still comes enabled by default on most devices.

There are many different speeds possible, those are just examples. As long as you match both the DDR version and speed, any RAM will do.

I am using Kubuntu 16 on my laptop. The damn thing (hard) freezes on seemingly random occasions (Sometimes a mere mouse move is enough). There is no way to really reproduce the freezes but I never had a single one when going to tty1-6 and just doing work from the console.

Any suggestions what to do? I updated my drivers and stuff but that didn't help. Can't run memtest because UEFI. Can someone tell me which logs I should check after the freezes?

Lads, I remember back in the day of having seen a compression format that would take a huge file, make a 'recipe' of it and then compress it to a much smaller file that to 'uncompress' you'd have to effectively remake it, thus taking a long time.
What format was it?

there's limits to how far you can compress any particular file

cat5/5e/6 can do their rated speeds up to 100m (328 feet)
but cat5 is only rated for 100Mb/s, you can sometimes get 1000Mb/s with a cat5 cable if it's short, but 50 feet isn't that short

if you don't see a cat* marking on the cable, try a different cable (one with cat5e/6 written on it, or is very short) to rule it out

if your machine is old, its network card may only support 100Mb/s

are the other computers attached to the same router/switch? if not, ensure the one you're connecting to supports gigbit itself, and that it is connected to the router with a 5e/6 cable

Please

I want to hack my children's handheld (pic related), but to do it I need "a router you can SSH into with root access"

I have no idea of what that means. I'm currently using two routers: one from my ISP that can't do anything (192.168.1.1 just boots their wizard to configure the connection), but my second one is this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049YQVHE/

How do I know if it has whatever I need? "Access SSH via PuTTy", whatever that is. I need to block Nintendo's servers from giving me an update

There are a couple of things you can do
1. Boot into your system using a live distro (puppy linux was built for shit like this) and backup everything on an external hard disk/cloud
2. Use one of the "system recovery disks" and fix the startup
3. If partitions are set up right, I'd suggest you simply format everything on C: drive and reinstall windows again.. carefully

On 10.7, Nintendo has added something to their browser. If you are not fully updated, it'll prompt you to update your firmware before you can access the browser

There are two ways around that:
First one is being faster than update notice so you can go into your bookmarks and boot the exploit before the message pops up

The second one is doing the SSH access thing and blocking the Nintendo's servers from sending the message.

The question was if I had SSH access with the router linked about, cause I don't know shit about routers or networks or whatever. Apparently I don't, because PuTTy only gives me an error when I try to access it

APNs correct, did them myself then reset and tmo guys did it. IMEI comes up unrecognized. 3g, mms, everything works fine except the fact the device cannot even recognize there is a tmo 4g network. I can't find anything on Google either because it's all problems with ATT. and returning it is an absolute last resort, 3t considered.

Which browser do I download to my 2gb ram Atom notebook?

>>57704023
PaleMoon has a version specific for Atom. If you want decent flash, you should also have chrome installed for those times.

>>57704054
Thanks I don't think I will go with palemoon as I won't be able myself to adjust it.. What do u recommend out of top 4?

I'm switching from an AMD 290X to a Nvidia 1070.
Do I need to uninstall my AMD drivers before I install the 1070?

I hear php is insecure because of all the vulnerabilities, but there's many versions of php. Are all these vulnerabilities being discovered in the old php, or the new php versions too?

I've used iExplorer in the past to move things from my iPod to my computer, so I guess you could do that. But on the trial version it pauses after every couple of files so it could take a while if you have a lot.

If a chipset is 'integrated into a processor' does it mean that the processor is soldered on board?
The HP 200 g1 is very cheap where I live, i'm thinking of buying it now and upgrade it later. Is this series all soldered on/non-upgradeable?

I bought some DDR3 RAM a year ago with the intent of using it in a later build. That build ended up needing DDR4 RAM.
Can I get an adaptor, or is that RAM useless?

>>57701376
Read/write speeds, interface (2/3.0 USB) and size. You should preferably buy one that has enough space for your files.

>>57704149
wont matter, i didnt get any problems switching from AMD to nvidia and viceversa
are you selling that 290X? i could use a new GPU if ur west EU and give a decent price

Cool, thanks.
>west EU
Sorry, USA. I haven't decided what I'm going to do with it, being that its slower than the $200 1060 it might not even be worth selling. And it may or may not be dying. I have had a hardware related BSOD while playing Xenoverse 2 but its been perfectly fine in Space Hulk Deathwing, and they're both Unreal Engine 4 games so I have no idea what to think.

>>57704280
Around 95% of consumer laptops with power saving CPUs have the chipset and CPU and sometimes the IGPU(if not present in the CPU) soldered to the motherboard.

No, sell it and buy DDR4.

Samsung USB 3.0.

Quality/Reliabilty>Space>Speed

I closed out of a game after it had opened in a resolution my screen didn't support, and now the resolution of my desktop seems to have changed where it is still set to 1920x1080 but the taskbar no longer fits the screen and is just barely visible at the bottom.

If I change the resolution back and forth it just reverts back to not fitting in the screen.
Also, I have already tried restarting the computer and changing the resolution back and forth again with no avail.

Anybody know what's up?
Any help would be appreciated since I am genuinely stumped.

>>57704305
>Read/write speeds
As informed on the manufacturer site?

Are indentations important in coding a web page? If so, why?

>>57704504
>Samsung USB 3.0.
How do you affirm that USB has the best quality/reliability?

>>57704523
Change your resolution ratio back to 16:9(or whatever your monitor is).
Change resolution trough your GPU drivers.

Replug your monitor.

>>57704614
Samsung is one of the best memory makers this days.

>>57704604
Yes. Indentation in all code makes it structurally easier to comprehend. Code almost always needs to be changed and revised, and readability is an absolutely priority.

You could always have 2 versions, one with and one without indentation, if you're trying to squeeze every drop of bandwidth out of the site.

I just need some opinions on what TV I should get.

http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/vizio/m-series-2016
http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x810c

The Sony is 700 at Micro Center. The Vizio is 750 at Bestbuy.
My usage will be mostly movies and TV shows with the blinds drawn, not really considering gaming or using it for my computer.

Basically if people in this thread can answer these two questions, I would appreciate it:
>Is 120hz for TV a meme?
>If they were free, which one would you take home?

It's Spotify.

Seems like the controls are managed by Windows itself. Seems like it's the touch volume controls from what I could find. Can't find it anywhere in the settings. Oh well.

You'd think they'd make settings for it...

>Best AV for a slow PC

You would probably be choosing between Avast Free, Panda Free, and Bitdefender Free Beta. Some people say Comodo's antivirus is light, but I have no experience with that one.

>No AV, am I screwed?

Well from your post, it seems like you are browsing with WinXP, so usually I would say not necessarily, but I don't think WinXP evens comes with a built-in real time scanner, so I wouldn't browse without one. Even if you are beefed up in other areas of prevention, you won't know if something managed to go through, so you open yourself up to being in the dark about whether you are infected. You can do on-demand scans regularly, and if you are safe, they should hopefully be coming back clean, but you are still going to miss the immediateness of a real-time scanner.

>Should I just switch to linux or stay offline in older PCs

It's up to you. Should you? Probably. You don't want to be running security risks openly and blatantly if you can help it. However, it is up to you to value the risk/benefit ratio.

>How safe is WinXP really?

I recall there being a few articles talking about the vulnerabilities still open. I don't know if they are concerns for enterprise or consumer PCs. Your concern will probably be dealing with older out of date software and the vulnerabilities they might introduce.

>Why is WinXP 64bit claimed not to be stable?

I can't say for a fact because I didn't hear about this. To be honest, back when WinXP was out, I was not at all in tune with computers. I am still nowhere near expert knowledge, but from what I remember, WinXP was Microsoft's first 64bit OS. Things may have been bumpy in regards to implications of certain software.

Not sure if this is the right thread of board to ask but I figured I'd try;

How much can I sell pic related for? It's silver, 160gb, in good condition (the back looks scratched up but I'm sure someone who knows how can fix it up) and runs like the day I bought it

It's gonna suck letting this guy go after all these years but I need the cash and I heard people still buy them for $300~

>>57705709
Yes very possible

it happens to me every single day. It's such a shame.

I have a gtx 970 rn, and I basically have to use its DVI port in it for my current IPS monitor.

I want to buy a 144hz monitor to go alongside my current, but that will need to use the same port OR use the one in my motherboard.

What difference does it make connecting a monitor to the motherboard over the graphics card, if any?

It's not really theft though is it? I mean you're not going inside their property, you're just taking something that's sitting there in public view.

>>57705806
A person is guilty of theft if he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it; and 'thief' and 'steal' shall be construed accordingly.

>package was purchased and meant for someone other than yourself
>if it's on their porch, its on their property
>taking THEIR package from THEIR property is stealing
example: if a tree grows over a fence, that part of the tree belongs to the person on the other side, taking fruit from that side, despite the roots forming on your side, is still (legally) theft and can be treated as such

You're breaking the law. You may not see it that way, but the other person is well within their rights to call the police and have you arrested for theft. Don't get prison raped over an iphone case and a couple of blurays. It doesn't matter how many clauses you present to the Judge, you WILL go to jail for theft. No matter how many "buts" you throw.

Story: Down the block from me when I lived in San Francisco, a junkie stole a bag of chips. The owner caught him, called the cops, and now the thief is in jail for theft. Not drug possession

It's no t the size of the crime, it's THE CRIME.

Yeah, seems like a great CPU. I made a new budget recently machine, and it still isn't that powerful.

Since yours is the non "K" version, your processor is locked. I think you can mess with some things in the BIOS to make it always run at its Turbo frequency, but that's about it, except maybe for the base clock changing. Downside is everything gets sped up, so it can cause increase in errors in other components.

Unless this is a throwaway machine to play with, I would not recommend messing with the base clock.

Can I still become a good programmer even if I can't speak French?

>>57705767

The slot on the motherboard accesses the internal/integrated graphics card. Effectively the integrated "graphics card" will be used to display that monitor, which will put the stress of displaying on the CPU.

Using the slot on the dedicated graphics card itself will use the dedicated graphics card to render and display that monitor, which is the option you want to do because the stress of rendering will go onto the graphics card.
