Is it just a meme or is windows 10's built-in security shit actually good and combining it with mbam and ubo makes a separate AV unnecessary?

>>57839194
No, it detects more false positive than actual viruses

Any free av such as Avast or AVG and such are far better, still not brilliant, but better.

I'm using ubuntu on an old laptop with a broken headphone input, so I've got a usb audio adapter for my headphones. Sound was working fine up until today and out of the blue, the volume is way too high with them on, and suddenly goes mute when lowered below about 50% volume (before there was noise on 10%, and it was about loud enough as it needed to get on 20%).

I tried this.

But it hasn't worked. How do I fix this?

I have an ASUS GPU, for overclocking should I use Afterburner or GPU Tweak?

>>57839261
I switched to Afterburner on my old ASUS GPU because GPU Tweak gave me crashes and even a few BSODs after a particular update.

>>57839303
Already have malwarebytes as i stated in my original post, so does that mean i'm good?

I don't think you can have 2 OSs on the RPI. You could try installing 2 OSs to 1 SD card but even that might not work

Installing win8.1 on a pc
on a fresh install, i check for updates, and it never goes through. either fails or checks forever.

I was told before this is because there is some first manual update you must run to get winupdate working

I searched for this, but dont know what its called so I end up at a dead end

Anyone know what I need to do to get updates working on a fresh win8.1 install?

>>57839688
The RPI's firmware directly reads from /boot and boots. There's no mechanism to tell it to boot one OS or another like you can have with Grub

>>57839723
but if /boot is on the sd card and I switch the SD card, wouldn't it have no memory of the other Os?
Or is /boot not on the SD card
?

I could use some help here...
Put together my new build before my gpu arrived, everything worked great, ran memtest for 24 hours with 0 errors.
Gpu came in yesterday, so I put it in, but when I went to turn it on, the fans made about 1 turn then nothing. I can't get it to power on at all now.
Took it all apart this morning and breadboarded it, but no luck. When I connect the psu and turn it on, the power button lights up on my mobo, but nothing happens when I press it. I jumpered the psu and the fan spins in it; nit sure if that means anything, since I have no other way to test it...

VPN and firewalls question: Since all the traffic is tunneled through my firewall when I connect to the VPN, aren't all my ports exposed to the far side of the VPN?

It's not even working with the integrated graphics now.
I did a BIOS update when it was still working, because I'd read about gpu compatability issues with older versions.
The Clear CMOS button is lit up, as well as the two 8-pin power LEDs on the gpu. There's nothing on the little Qcode readout, it's not lit up at all. Resetting the CMOS flickers the LEDs, but doesn't seem to change anything, with or without the gpu installed.

I'm in need of a laptop and I want something with an active pen digitizer, since I like to draw and generally do art.
I currently have an x220 tablet, but with all the issues I've been having with it, I'm thinking about throwing it on ebay if I can find something better.
(issues: screen pressure spots, brittle and creaky plastics, rubber trim pieces falling off, very inaccurate digitizer, meh performance, chugs in applications like photoshop, 2.5-3.5 hours of battery life on power saver mode, etc)

The Elitebook 2760p looks seems to be better built, but has most of the same issues, the Dell XT3 is supposedly a time bomb before the digitizer dies, and the x230t is the same as what I have, just with a better cpu/graphics.
I don't mind buying used if it's in good shape, I just want something that'll work, and if new, I'd want decent warranties or support if in case something goes wrong, which is why I ruled out the Cube i7 stylus, as decent as that seems.
I have stand alone graphics tablets and they're fine, but I don't work as well with them as I do with an active display.

Anyone know of any good laptops or tablets (better than this at least) with an active digitizer for <$300?

I have a personal thing against gaming branded crap, mostly that having gaming in the name just increases price. I've known a few people who got gaming laptops, keyboards, and mice that had a shorter lifetime than they should have. One of my friends had an alienware laptop that had battery issues the week after it was out of warranty. I had a turtle beach headset and I ended up getting 4 pairs of them in the warranty period.

People troubleshooting your no POST issues here: Unplug the power supply then take out the CMOS battery and short the two terminals on the board together to remove any residual charge keeping the CMOS memory alive. Connect a speaker to the speaker pinouts on the motherboard. You need at least one RAM module installed - make sure it's in the proper slot per your motherboard manual and make sure it's absolutely inserted firmly. Boot with no cards installed. Even if there's no onboard video, you should at least get a 'no video' beep code from the speaker.

>>57841833
Canned air doesn't get dust/hair buildup like in that picture out of your system unless you actually disassemble it.

>>57841833
Canned air just blows the dust chunks back into the fan ready to be blown right back into the grill again.

Over time the heat and constant dust building up makes it very thick and carpet like.

My laptop used to over heat and shut down until I removed the dust build up, now it runs fine.

>>57841836
Lenovo is great for a lot of things but gaming on a dedicated GPU isn't one of those.

Don't worry too much with brands like dell, acer, HP, lenovo, the ones that have products at all/most levels from entry to consumer to gamer to business other than customer support. Research more on the individual model. I know there's a subreddit specifically for helping people find a laptop.

Okay, got it off finally.
So just pull the cpu and put it back in?

>>57842371
2.1 I meant sorry for the confusion

>>57842343
laptop speakers, youtube downloaded media files, the "media player" program

>>57842373
Sure. Pull it out, take a close look at the pins in the socket, then put it back in gently.

>>57842373
Yay, take the CPU out and inspect the pins on the motherboard. Make sure non are bent.

Take a picture of the bare socket with flash and upload it for others to check.

>>57842350
I got it now, but I did try the needle nose pliers approach with no luck. They have that stupid little spacer in between the barbs so they can't go back together.

>>57842317
>>57842331

when should I start to worry? CPU goes down to 35 and one GPU to 45 almost immediately. The second GPU stays at 65-70 for quite long but I guess I got shitty airflow there.

>>57842373
while it's pulled, check if any pins are fucky. Clean off the thermal paste. Put the CPU back in, making sure it's not rotated in some multiple of 90 degrees. Apply new thermal paste before putting the cooler back on.

>>57842417
Some GPUs will run 90C under load by design. CPU will throttle itself down at 100C. 75C at load is 100% fine.

>>57842417
That's perfectly normal, anything higher than 80c is a cause for concern although the founders editions cards can run happily @83c because it starts taking measures.

>>57842417
I'd be worried if temps approach 85. Depending on the CPU and GPU the PC will shut itself off around 95 to one hundred something.

I am looking into emigrating my drive on my Chinkpad to SSD but I can only afford about ~100 USD (or a bit mpre).
Seeing the expected r/w lifetime of the chips, I got confused and worried on the lifespan of the SSDs.

Should I buy a Samsung Evo 750 250 Gb or Samsung Evo 850 250 Gb ?

>>57842466
850 is better, but if 750 is cheap enough, then it might be worth it.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I've been thinking of getting a certificate in digital forensics, good idea or should I go for a more general networking degree?

>>57842523
Seems fine.

>>57842523
Yeah. Now as you have it out try powering up the board with no cpu installed, see if it does anything different with the LED's etc.

>>57842559
Also connect the CPU fan to its plug on the motherboard, see if it spins up or not.

Careful not to allow the heatsink to touch the motherboard and short anything out though.

>>57842317
AMD cards can generally handle anything below 80° C just fine, even higher temepratures are common in full system stress tests. I'm assuming you meant to say 4670K, which means the maximum temeprature is about 72° C but games typcially stress the GPU a lot more than the CPU.

How do I wipe the extra SSD I have laying around so I can sell it? So I just go into Disk Management, right click on the partition and then click Delete Volume? (Running Windows 10). Also, am I able/supposed to also delete the System Reserved partition (whatever that is)?

>>57842559
Do you have a second CPU fan/ optional CPU header for a water pump or something similar? You might give that a try with the cooler.

>>57842697
Depends on the SSD, quality SSDs support secure erase. Boot to a linux live disc and run the secure erase command.

I just unpacked my BenQ GW2270 monitor and I can't get any audio output, neither from my pc (vga+headphone jack) nor from my ps3, it doesn't even recognize its own built-in speakers, the sound tab in the menu is darkened and you can't do anything about it. Weird thing is, it WAS working when I first connected it, I still couldn't get any sound but it did let me adjust the volume, which I tried, but after that it just blocked the sound tab.

I have a question about charging AGM batteries?

http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/53042-charging-xs-power-batteries/?page=1

I'm reading that you should charge them no more than 14.4 volts and you need a special charger

can I just hook up a potentiometer / fuse / diode and push 1amp 14.4 volts to the battery and be safe?

I have done this on older batteries no issues before just want to check I guess the only thing I see is that AGM batteries need no more than 14.4volts

I want to just use a regulated voltage PSU to set 14.4volts and push that shit in there without buying some stupid meme charger..

thanks

>>57843420
didn't work but I think I know what I did wrong. I was trying to install the wrong exe. I thought it was the installer when it was another thing.. Good job me.

It will certainly charge it although better to use an automatic charger.

yes it does I have limits and adjustments (fine and coarse) for both amperage and voltage. I read a lot of the XSpower shit and it says not to go over 14.4 because gas will leak and it'll damage battery. also under charging it can ruin the life as well. so I wanted to go to like 14.0 then micro manage the charging and watch it till full maybe half an amp or 1amp max.
it's at 12.48 right now and the sheet says don't put it in car if it's under 12.6

Set the current limit for 44/10=4.4 amps max and the supply voltage to 14.4v plus an additional diode drop for the diode you'll put in series with the supply to the battery to stop any back feeding.

At that current a 5 amp or more schottky diode will be best, you can also use a regular silicon diode but it will get pretty hot.

>>57843787
Oh wonderful. Again some AV's detect false positives with it but I have used it on my own systems and the hashes checked out when searched for online.

>>57843819
Awesome thanks, and that's good for the AGM batteries?
I've charged regular car batteries before but they seem so scared to charge these types of batteries like they're magic or lithium or something.. but it's still acid

I'll do the diode things I got some extras. I was going to put a 10amp fuse in too cuz the battery will def exceed that if it back feeds

thanks a bunch

Replace your GPU to one that has more memory. RAM is okay so is the OS and I'd throw in a HDD with a larger data capacity.

12KB, 881x498px

>>57843864
Yeah the fuse might be a good idea just in case, the diode is pretty much essential as the battery back feeding could damage your PSU.

A schottky diode will drop about .4v @ its rated current so the PSU output voltage will probably need to be a little higher than that in order for the full 14.4v to appear across the battery terminals.

But bare in mind that as the current draw drops towards the end of charging the voltage dropped across the diode will also fall so keep an eye that, you might need to manually nudge it back down to 14.55v or so to prevent the full 14.8v from over charging it.

When you first apply power the voltage readout on the PSU will suddenly drop to whatever voltage the battery is sitting at plus the diode drop, this is normal and is just the current limit kicking in. In time this will raise back up until the hard current limiting is not longer needed (might take hours if the battery is run down).

ah awesome thanks, I forgot the diode drop. Should not be too difficult I got a few multimeters and shit.

& the voltage matching the battery is why they say not to use my alternator at first, or something?
Because the alternator puts out such a high amperage that it won't "top off" the battery, so I have to trickle charge it before so I can pull same wattage with less amps if I have a 14volt on my music amp vs a 12volt?

>>57843980

so im back, I got the game to work. This glitch still happens, but only on my first userdata
any one have any idea how to fix this?

>>57844112
I'm not very well versed in automotive stuff but I assume because the alternator is a big ass inductor the voltage it puts out depends on the load, so if the load is low such as the car idling the output voltage likely rises higher whilst the battery absorbs very little energy from the current being supplied (Peukert's law).

Basically the energy ends up being wasted as heat, but when charged with a bench charger at a lower current the battery will absorb the charge properly.

I've met a lot of debian and arch users, all they do is bash every OS that isn't theirs

I just recently built a computer, and it worked fine for a couple days until I decided to install the GPU drivers. I got some "fatal directx error 11000002" error while playing FF14, Overwatch gives me a "your rendering device has been lost" error while Windows tells me "Application has been blocked from accessing Graphics Hardware"
I have also gotten an engine error "DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED: GetDeviceRemovedReason() = DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_RESET" and a "failed to reset d3d9 device" error too.

I've spent hours trying to figure stuff out, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and changing settings. I have no idea what to do know, hopefully you guys can help. GPU is Asus GTX 1060 3g oc.

>>57844939
Is the GPU properly inserted into the slot? Are the power cables firmly attached?

I kinda wanna install Linux but still play a lot of games only for linux. Any way to work around this? I've heard of using a flash drive to boot with a different os but seems too unconventional.
Thanks for any advise given!

>>57844968
Yeah I took a lot of care building this since this is the first one I ever made, should I take it out and try again?

>>57844939
well, just use the older version of driver you were on before. Have you tried that?

>>57844995
Go get a VM dude. Don't waste part of your hard drive partitioning it just to play with something you will more than likely never use. If you need help, I'll post you a guide

>>57845041
Yes please and thank you!

1. https://www.virtualbox.org/
get that
2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions
google the distro you wanna play with
when you find a download (yes they are free it's linux. Plus most are big like a gb and have torrents to help aid in downloading)
3. run the VM and then throw the ISO in it and do what it says.

Most everything in a Vbox is pretty self explanatory.

I haven't done so yet, but i've decided on installing Mint (cinnamon) as my first ever linux distro, what are some things in Linux I can dabble in to help prepare me for the more advanced distros like gentoo and arch?

>>57839043
RX 480 or GTX 1060?

Also monitor suggestion pls. On a budget.

On a scale of 1-10, how hard is it to learn C++?

How hard is Java?

Does anyone have that picture of like, the motherfucker that stuck a ps/2 to VGA adapter into his computer, then a VGA to something else adapter, then another adapter into that, then that, then that, and it kept going on, and at the end there was a USB? Also, can anyone identify all the types of adapters there?

>>57845024
yeah I did, still didn't make a difference. I've never been this confused before in my life

when paraphrasing the work of another author, do I put the parenthetical at the end of the paragraph, or is that only when I quote the author.
I'm using MLA btw

Start by getting familiar with the terminal (must-know features are auto-completion with Tab, wget and a basic understanding of GNU Make).
Proceed by ditching PulseAudio and configuring ALSA to work on its own.
Then install your own WM/DE and switch to it.
Then learn how wpa_supplicant works (if you use WiFi).
Then ditch systemd in favor of a more minimal init program.
You're ready for Gentoo (remember to use SystemRescueCD as an installation medium instead of the Gentoo minimal CD since the latter has neither wpa_supplicant nor UEFI support).

>>57845143
4 if you know C, 6 otherwise.
Don't learn Java unless you are a street shitter.

>>57845143
>C++
If you want to know the whole language and all it's standard libraries, I would think you're probably talking a few years of intensive study.

>>57845274
Is that even doable with books and online?

>>57845268
Will do, thanks.

>>57845363
Stroustrup covers most, if not all, of it.

That said, if you learn all that shit you still won't necessarily be a good C++ programmer. Most of programming is logic and algorithms. If you don't know those, you're not going to develop anything good.

Go to >>>/t/ and get some linux videos

How to use NoScript properly?
Should I keep the default options and just work my way through whitelisting sites I trust by normal browsing?

Is there any way to have wireless charging charge faster? I could just disconnect the pad and connect the cable and have it charge 3x as fast as with wireless charging

Did I fall for the wireless charging meme?

I want to get into it for jobs. Not sure how far I could go alone

Firefox keeps overflowing and crashing whenever I try to do anything despite reinstall on my Note 4, which web browser should I flock to?

I mostly browse video game wikis, drudge report, YouTube

I'm looking a buying a Windows 10 key for $10 on eBay, seller has good reviews. I'd literally only use this OS for directx 12.

On how many different levels is this retarded?

>>57845493
Try Light. It's literally Firefox with some of the bloat removed. Its only real issue is that it doesn't play .webms.

I'm thinking of making a home server, for the purposes of a file server/file backup (accessible by multiple devices) and media center. What would the best OS be for such a server?

>>57845569
2 levels:
1: the listing and key are fake, and you may be forced to activate later if not immediately
2: you can already activate w10 for free

also, link me pls

>>57845714
One example of many.

The reviews are good. I can't get any legit Windows 7 keys to work activating 10.

Hoping someone has some suggestions for me.
I bought a macbook pro retina in early 2015, and I like it, but the screen's already got a dead pixel and pressure marks from just putting it in a backpack once or twice. I'm thinking about selling it to fund a new laptop but I'm stuck on which one I should get.
I'd be using it for any traveling and for art college (so a tablet/laptop combo is ok).

>>57845430
Will do, thanks.

>>57845998
Why would you get a new laptop? You never mentioned that.

If it were me I'd sell that macbook pro right away and replace it with a chromebook and a nice desktop.

>>57845866

bloody hell im all out of good boy points and mom wont let me use the vacuum anymore :(

>>57845866
>>57845714
Well, I tried it, got the key already and activated it.

Worked fine, hope it lasts.

What just happened?

Do waterproof(not resistant) tablets exist?

>>57846073
I'm actually in the process of building a desktop right now. I'm selling the macbook because of how expensive replacing the screen is, and the laptop is just way too fragile for my tastes anyway.

If I want to upgrade my CPU, I only need to replace it right? No more wizardy shits that I need to install

Is this a good monitor for the price?

>>57846101
Definitely power interruption, probably battery see:>>57846128

Are there any videos, or books I can read to better understand how telecommunications (for computers) work? I want to understand how servers, wifi, etc... works and learn the programming languages used to manage it all.

>>57846145
Replacing a CPU can be kinda hard.

You need to check if your motherboard is compatible with it(same socket)
Be careful removing the HSF.
Remove old CPU.
Clean Heatsink old paste with something (Isopropyl alcohol or artic cleaner purifiers or similar).
Put new CPU.
Put new paste over it (a small dot, rice sized).
Put HSF back.
Store old CPU for troubleshooting.

Reinstall windows because >windows
Done.

I need help with powershell scripting, can anybody help? I am wondering why running the following command doesn't work:

Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -Filter * | Where-Object {$item.DistinguishedName -match "Sorting"}

I am trying to find all of the organization units on a domain that belong to the "Sorting" Organizational Unit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think manufacturers understand what frameless/borderless means. All monitors with that description im seeing still have a border.
