My mom bought me a new laptop for christmas.

It's an Acer and has a fucking CELERON 1.6 Ghz CPU

How the fuck is this allowed?

It's quad core, but that doesn't mean shit.

I turned it on and it's slow as fuck and filled with windows 8.1 bloatware.

I have a windows 7 disk, if I installed it would it speed things up a bit to a tolerable level?

I just want to use it to surf the net and watch animus.

I'll leave an open question for you to think about (because I'm thinking about these issues in the last weeks):

free linux distributions have given a low entry point to run "virtual" machine/servers, and run software on them
the world doesn't have infinite resources
more servers running need more electrical power
more electrical power generates more CO2 emission

This is an actual problem I see, I don't know what the solution is, but the problem is there. "Infinite" free distribution of software looks like an ecological problem. I think we should start thinking about this issue now.

Can someone explain what an "Intersection Graph" is?

>OR MORE IMPORTANTLY
How do I go about drawing one from this information?
How does an Intersection Graph relate to a regular Graph and its Adjacency Matrix?

How can I learn to use Linux and become competent at running a Linux server? I want to one day be able to run game servers and stuff!

Also, where would I go about getting my hands on a Linux server to run said game servers on? Any recommendations? I know that's a long way away, but recommendations are always nice.

some green fags have indeed bitched about the electricity consumption of datacenters, but they're a small (low single digit) percentage of our overall energy usage.

and actually if anything virtual machines have drastically cut energy usage. Before virtualization was a thing you'd have dozens of servers in every machine room that spent most of their time being almost idle. Load all those low-intensity services into VMs and you can put them onto much more efficiently-utilized machines. Almost all of the energy spent on computing is actually going to a useful purpose, in other words, instead of being wasted keeping machines up and ticking over waiting for some work to do.

Say you wanna run Android x86 on one of these things, >pic related, and you wanna hook it up to a large touch sensitive display so that the whole thing works like a huge beefed up tablet without needing a keyboard, would that be possible?

Yes, I have that page open. I need at least a basic walkthrough of HOW to plot it.
Doesn't have to be my particular question, but I need to understand WHAT I do with those sets to generate points.

I'm a sperg, and I can't figure out what the relationship between these sets and the matrix I'll be making is.
The textbook I'm using is shit, and my teacher is high on this fucking McGraw Hill bullshit.
I ALWAYS fuck up with McGraw Hill books...

Simply put, I need THIS information:
>Those sets are not points. How do I convert them into points?
I can see that some of them are the same, but I don't know what to do with them, because they only have 1 coordinate on their own.
>Once I have the points, what is the relationship that I can use to generate an Adjacency Matrix?
I know how to make the matrix AND how to read it, but I have no idea what the relationship is from this question

Wait, I just read it over a couple times. Can someone check if my interpretation is correct?

>The intersection graph of a collection of sets A1, A2, . . . , An is the graph that has a vertex for each of these sets and has an edge connecting the vertices representing two sets if these sets have a nonempty intersection.
Do this mean:
1) Each set is its own point, and it is only 1 per set?
2) When an edge connects 2 sets, that means they have common elements?
2a) An edge means ANY number of common elements and no weight?

This is really the best I got... can someone please confirm if this is right?

It's a function that takes a function and two lists as parameters and recursively builds a new list with the passed function applied to the heads of each list until one or both of the passed lists is empty.

>>57720459
Did you see the image on the Wikipedia page?

Example: On the image, the green set is intersecting the blue set, the yellow set, and the red set, but not the gray set.

So in the intersection graph, you would draw the green node (i.e. the node corresponding to the green set) as being connected to the blue, yellow and red nodes, but not to the gray node.

And yes, each set is a point/node on the graph. If a node is connected to another node, it means the equivalent sets are intersecting (that is, the sets have one or more elements in common). That's it.

If you only use it at home, with power supply plugged in at all times, change the power settings from balanced (preserves battery) to high performance.

My dad had a slow af cheap laptop and this actually fixed the shitty performance. It's still a shitty laptop obviously but it went from completely unusable to stable perfomance without significant lag as long as you don't overburden the system. But web browsing, office, movies etc run fine now.

Try it.

>>57720647
Ok.
Alright, that makes more sense. I can start the graph now.

I'm still unsure of one thing: Are those blobs a PART of the graph, or are they just there for visual aid? (Would the graph still be done without the blobs?)

>>57720698
That looks like a pretty big dip.
Run Speccy and check the drive in the storage section.

Visual aid, the blobs represent the sets. You don't need them for the graph.

Why do you insist on speccy?
SMART data says it's okay.

So theres some pretty good deals on the RX 470 at the moment, and it'd be a significant upgrade over my R9 270. And with the expenses that Christmas brings, it's probably my best option in the short term.

Just debating between getting it now, and maybe upgrade later next year to something better. Or just wait until Vega comes out and choose between that and a 1070.

>Why do you insist on speccy?
Because it lists all the SMART data and most people have it if they're on Windows. It's easy to find the potential problems that way.

And yeah, it seems fine based on that. You can check more into it, though, if the dip holds for a while.

It's not making any high-pitched whines or clicking sounds, is it?

>>57720811
Eh, okay. This is a pretty new drive (only got it a week ago) and I've been putting stuff on it, so I guess it'll look a little different regardless of if the computer fell on its side.

>>57720830
Not yet, it's making all the same sounds it did before when I download stuff to it, run games on it, etc.

>>57720855
It's probably fine then. If it starts making clicking noises, though, then you'll have to monitor it, because that can mean the write/read head is coming in contact with the platter (which means it'll eventually dig through it)

On the other hand, how far did it fall? I just reread what you said, and it looks like it just tipped over. That probably wouldn't be an issue, especially if the drives are located towards the bottom of the tower (since less torque when the top of the tower hits the desk)

Can I put a Samsung 850 EVO into my Thinkpad T530 and keep my HDD?

>>57721072
Does the T530 have room for a second drive?
I'm not familiar with the model.
From what I looked up quickly, it doesn't seem to be able to fit 2, so I'm gonna say no (unless you don't mind one being connected externally)

What OS do you run, though? If it's a *NIX OS, you can probably just keep the OS on an SD card, since your system seems to have an SD card reader. Just go grab a 64/128/256 GB SD Card.

Then keep only data on the HDD

I want to import a youtube playlist into google music. Is this possible?

In theory it would just have to get the names from youtube. Usually the format is [artist - song] or something like that. Check with some database, find the same titles in google music. A little hit and miss but overall that shouldn't be impossible...

anyone?

>>57720897
Alright. It didn't really fall that far, like I said, it just fell on its side after it got bumped into. .

have you ever gone to setup GPU passthrough and wound up building a custom kernel?

Can you get in trouble on Amazon if you use your free 2-day shipping to send stuff to ebay buyers at a profit?

Considered doing it for newly released games to take advantage of that 20% discount, but not 100% sure it'd be worth it after tax and ebay seller fees. I guess I could have it shipped to myself and then reship it but that just makes the idea even less attractive.

Unless you live in a place without sales tax I don't think it would be worth it. (And in that case you'd have to ship to yourself to be sure sales tax isn't charged, I would think.) Sales tax is like 6-9% and eBay charges you 10%, so with those together your profit is going to be pretty shit.

Ok, here is a question. It is more of a problem i have at work and I'm still trying to figure out a way to solve this shit.

So i guess I'll just post the TL:DR version.

I need to functional mouses working in the same machine while each one of them have it's own functional cursor.

I tried using TeamPlayer4 Free trial but only one mouse cursors is active at all times while the other one can only move itself, i also tried another software but that one straight up didn't work.

Now here is why i need 2 mouses working:

At work i have to fill a bunch of request forms, during the day i get around 20 to 40 forms to fill and it takes quite a while to do so. Since every form is filled in the exactly same way with the exactly same sentences i thought i could speed things up. I Tried using Selenium IDE on firefox to automate the filling of the forms but the systems has way too much shit on it for the software to fin the right places to fill in the forms. I tried to convert it into Python and java scripts and did some changes into the scripts but they still don't work.

So i just downloaded TinyTask, which just records my mouse movements and mouse/keyboard actions and repeats them over and over. It works like a charm but i can't use my mouse while the bot is on and I have other work do to.

Other solutions to this problem are welcome as well.

Unable to, but I'm 99% sure that's the problem as Device Manager didn't see one.

Found this program to create a partition. Pretty sure I'm meant to do primary partition (not logical). Since this drive is only for Windows (and I can add a second partition later), should I be picking NTFS?

Lately my laptop has been entering sleep mode in the middle of a session. It's not shutting down by itself, but would the symptoms be the same (ie, an uncleaned fan?)

>>57721614
unlikely
more like battery is failing

>>57721578
>>57721399
Actually, I'll just use the Windows one you pointed out. But still, NTFS right?

>>57721541
Shouldn't be an issue, so long as the ODD is connected to the Mobo using the same interface.

If it's already connected with a SATA 2/3, then it will probably be seamless.
Only concern might be fitting the cable in ur laptop, and make sure the caddy has the same interface ur looking for.
I don't see why the caddy would otherwise be a problem, unless the SSD and Mobo are SATA 3, and you get a SATA 2 caddy

>>57721578
NTFS supports a lot of features that FAT systems don't, and EXT is not usable with Windows.
So, unless your partition absolutely does not need Access Control or Encryption (or I think, compression either), and it also does not need to exceed 32GB (FAT32 maxes at 32GB. exFAT can go higher, but that tool doesn't show that option), then go NTFS

>>57721664

and sure.. if you find the replacement battery for like $25 then why not

>>57721723
It was plugged in and charging when this most recently happened (within the last 30 minutes). This has been probably the third time this has occurred, I think every time it's happened while the power level was set to Eco Mode. Will look into battery replacement as a gift I guess.

I made a botched install of python, uninstalled and reinstalled. I've fixed the file associations and PATH and such, but the icons for .py files are erroneous (pic related). Other python files like .pyw and .pyo are fine.

Any idea how to fix?

It's a command line tool. Versatile, works on loads of sites.
Install it from github.

If you're not used to command line tools, don't be intimidated. It's easy.
There are loads of options and a huge list of instructions, but you can safely ignore them.
All you really need to do is open a terminal/cmd window and type

then a space, then paste in the url of the video you want to download.

>dont move your premade user folders
Personally, I'm creating my own custom directory structure (pic related), but I doubt my other users will be as open minded. One in particular has a Desktop folder that won't even fit on the boot drive. So I need a way of having Windows not store the Desktop folder on my boot drive.

>>57722063
I am not 100% sure
but I think it goes like this

from your pc audio analog signal goes to the amp
there it gets amplified to be more stronger so that speakers are loud enough
then this signal gets in to your sub where lower part gets cut off from it, how much is controlled by the knob on the back called crossover

the lower frequency part is used to tell subwoofer how to move the speaker

while the rest is send to the speakers to do the rest, I assume unaffected not amplified

A Domain Name Server just converts and IP address into a domain name and vice-versa.

It will still be sent as the IP address of the site you are visiting. And, by this structure of an IP Packet, the source and dest addresses are in the outer IP header of the VPN packet.
So, unless you use proxies, they can still probably get info on whatever evil sites you're visiting that you don't want people to know about. And, even so, you might want more than 1 proxy. You could consider Tor.

Of course, I'm making the pure assumption that you're using this exclusively for privacy concerns and paranoia, and NOT because you're up to no good in the neighbourhood.

>So the sub does the processing and not the amp
processing?

small T amp like yours just increases the amplitude of the signal, making the signal stronger

>The sub just excludes a certain range from the speakers and that's why even a regular old 2.0 amp works?

I am not following on that sentance

subs have crossover which separates low frequencies from the signal so that speakers do not try to do them in vain when the big guy is there for them. All would be functional even if it did not do that, but its nice that it does it.

Is it a good idea to buy a RPi3 for a retropie box? Planning to hook it up to an old monitor and arcade stick.

Any recommendations? I plan on transferring everything to a new case, but I've never worked with physical parts before. What're the odds of me destroying everything in the process? My computer is just a prebuilt CyberPower computer and it has some sort of watercooling but I have no idea what.

Hey guys,

I've posted in a few speccy threads and haven't got an answer.


I built my desktop back in 2012 and haven't touched it since. Only just now is it starting to become noticeably weaker with newer games.

I'm really only interested with 1080p at this point in my life and along with a much better case (Enthoo Pro) and screen, I'm going to buy a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB - Boost clock 1873 MHz

Is this a good buy for my needs and should I upgrade anything else? I based these decisions mostly off of Logical Increments.

Here is the screen I'm looking at: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UFCVKI4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Thanks for any input guys.

Holy shit, are you me?

I'm using that exact monitor right now and plan on upgrading my system as well (bought a prebuilt CyberPower back in 2013, haven't touched since). I'm thinking about getting the EVGA SC 1060 6GB and the Enthoo Pro but with the acrylic side screen (found randomly while searching on PCPartPicker and I like the look better).

Btw, it's a decent monitor from what I can tell. Been using it the past 3 years and it's served me well. Might get a few smudges on the screen but that's about it.

CPU is Intel 3825U

Graphics is:

The integrated HD Graphics (Broadwell) offers 12 Execution Units (EUs) clocked at 100 - 850 MHz. Similar to the CPU core, the GPU architecture (Intel Gen 8) has been thoroughly revised for improved performance-per-clock. We expect the HD Graphics (Broadwell) to beat the HD Graphics (Haswell) (10 EUs) as well as the HD Graphics 4200 (20 EUs), both part of the Haswell generation. Nevertheless, most games as of 2015 should be playable only in very low settings.

Broadwell is the first Intel chip to fully support DirectX 11.2 as well as OpenCL 1.3/2.0 and OpenGL 4.3. Video will output natively via DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI 1.4a. However, the new HDMI 2.0 standard is not officially supported.

On the topic of WEB-DLs, I've recently been reading that it's more often better to download the 720p because the 1080p is "bit-starved", that is, the bit rate ratio is much lower than 2.25 times of that the 720p.

My question is, if I'm going to be watching it on a 1080p display, even if the ratio isn't correct, wouldn't the extra bit-rate no matter how little be beneficial? Wouldn't up-scaling the 720p to a 1080p display artificially cause it to be bit-starved anyway?

Why do some people put their task bar or panel across the top of the screen?

When you do that the buttons to control your windows also get clustered near the top of your screen, notably the tabs of your browser. That looks crappy and you have to slow down to click on the right thing.

And why do a lot of people use two panels in MATE or Xfce? There's plenty of space for all your elements in one panel. Using an extra panel just eats up your screen space. If you run out of room for window buttons move to another workspace.

When you are installing linux it will reformat the partition to whatever it finds best so dont worry about that.

FAT32 has a file size limitation of 4GB and doesn't like large files in general. Also it fragments faster than NTFS and doesn't have any advanced features like compression.

But as a storage drive it should be fine.

What is a good adblock for android 4.2.1, I'm currently using chrome so a suggestions for better browsers are also welcome.

TL;DR: Debian testing/sid crashes on boot with KMS.

I switched my gpu to an RX480. As it happens, the driver (amdgpu) needs KMS enabled to work.

When loading with KMS the system crashes during boot (blank screen, caps key and power button non-responsive, no ssh).

I can still boot by adding [nomodeset] on the kernel params, but then it will only load the vesa driver. During boot, I get the message

[drm:amdgpu_init[amdgpu]] *ERROR* VGACON disables amdgpu kernel modesetting

when trying to switch modes, which seems to be 2-3 times during boot (different attempts?).

I tried forcing the amdgpu blobs into initramfs:

amdgpu >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules; update-initramfs -k all -u

which causes the fans to spin up, but still crashes on boot.

modprobe amdgpu returns the same VGACON error.

I also tried with different previous kernels (4.6.0 and 4.7.0) with the same results.

Basically, I think the problem is related to KMS and not so much with the driver itself.

I'm using the latest testing kernel (4.8.0-1-amd), no DE, just boot to tty and xinit.

I've been researching this for a few weeks on and off, and I'm yet to find a solution.

I'll be up for a while if you have any suggestions.

If time spent encoding is of no matter is there any reason to use .264 over something more intensive like .265, or vp9?

>>57729706
Xubuntu !
>>57728422
personal preference

>>57729839
compatability

if the target only supports h.264, then that's what you need to use

otherwise no, h.265 is better (VP9 is supposedly similar, but my own testing shows otherwise, which is unfortunate, as i do prefer open formats)

Why does my ram usage never reach 100% on an old 1GB ram PC ? even if i try
>>57729874
its compatibility you silly goose

>>57729874
allright thanks

also a bit of a random question but If take the exact same source file, use the exact same settings in ffmpeg, but do this encode on two separate computers, will the output be bit for bit exactly the same?

How likely is it that sites that push their apps hardest in your mobile browser are purposefully making their mobile sites as inefficient as possible?

>>57730057
I think it's probably more the fact they don't spend time making sure their desktop site works well on mobiles, since they are already doing that with the app. I'm sure some sites do it of course.

>>57730052
the term you're looking for is "is the result deterministic?"
i'm not 100% sure, but i believe x265/x264 are deterministic by default, given exactly the same settings and running with the same set of CPU features
for normal usage (aka, not debugging or something), you don't need to be concerned about whether the output is deterministic or not

>>57730082
Update, just tried BSPlayer and it kinda works but the increased speed compresses the sound in a choppy way and skips a lot of dialogue

>>57730236
I was just curious as to whether your hardware changes the way the minute details of a encode.

Also I just did a tester, ripping an old Bill bailey dvd, 90 minutes long, only 720 resolution. At highest quality settings with 2 pass .265 it was going to take 2 days, I think my laptop would melt. it's a 5 year old i7 I thought it would handle that but apparently handbrake doesn't support multicore processing which is odd.

>>57730280
the slower x265 presets are excrutiatingly slow, even on current cpus
x264 has been around much longer, and is much more optimized
but x265 at faster presets (such as the default "medium", which is not that slow on modern cpus) often gives better compression than x264 at slower presets which may not even be faster to encode

if you're not sure what to pick, just pick the slowest one you can put up with, if 2 days for a dvd encode is unacceptable, use a faster preset (or switch back to x264)

What's the worst thing.that could happen if my rig uses more power than the PSU is capable to manage?

>>57730771
Your PSU shuts down to prevent undervoltage. So your PC will suddendly switch off if it draws too much power.

>>57729706

>>57730721
probably if the power profile affects the wlan card, which it probably does, and this can be changed through configuring the settings of it

Yeah ik. Problem is I don't know anything about the PSU it's 425watt. Thinking about switching the low power gpu with a 480. Cpu is a xeon 1650 which uses about 130 watt at load. Am I safe or should I get a new PSU?

>>57730853
>I don't k ow anything about the PSU
Like the brand or model

>>57730853
does the PSU even have a 6-pin PCI power connector? I don't know what the 480's power draw really is, but AMD lists it as 150W, which plus the 130 is leaving you with 145W, which is enough for hard drives, motherboard, and so on
should be safe

still shouldn't be an issue, might run your power supply hotter though
if the heat from it becomes an issue, add fans

just for reference, you can add these parts and list a custom price as $0

if the SSD here is your only hard drive, you should probably pick up another mechanical drive for storage since 240GB goes up quick
also on the SSD, I don't know anything about this brand ADATA, and would add that you should look into a more well-known manufacturer and ask around pc building sites on which ones are reliable

How long desktop DDR3s are going to stay relevant? Also wold 2+2+4gb or 2+2+2+2gb work better?

>>57731018
>marketing

But why not just design it so the good looking shit is on the other side?

>>57731086
I don't know why there's not more aesthetics on the top of the card which we see more often, or why the fans aren't on the top aside from the hazard posed by anything falling and potentially damaging/seizing the fan
heat, maybe, since the CPU's heat sink above the card would blow into the card's intake

>>57731078
talking out my ass here, but probably 2/2/2/2, because it would saturate the memory channels instead of having just one doubled

Whenever I download a game from Steam it briefly freezes itself or my entire pc every few seconds
This happens ONLY with Steam downloads
Any download from anywhere else works fine
Running already-downloaded online games in Steam works fine

Standard google solutions don't work. I've run flushconfig, cleared the download cache, run as admin, unticked "read-only" on the Steam directory, force-unparked CPU cores, completely uninstalled and reinstalled to a different directory, disabled cloud saves and auto-updates, throttling download speed, etc.

I'm getting 100% CPU spikes during the freeze, I can't tell if that's the only direct cause of the freezing or if there are disk/network issues simultaneously
HDD shows no problems at all with SeaTools, and again, I can download literally anything else without trouble

Any idea as to what would be causing this and how to fix it?

Of course: at the moment, I cannot give a definite measurement of my desk's wall-to-chair size/length/width/whatever you would classify it as, so I'm asking for information that would be useful to me WHEN I take the measurement. The eye to monitor distance. As the desk measurement is not a known variable, I have to look for other variables to fill.
