I can't import any kind of video file into sony vegas except maybe AVI (and even then the audio streams sometimes don't work)

I've tried K lite codec pack and Combined community codec pack. I don't know how this shit works. please halp

mpv is really bad for me with tracking, it skips one second back and forth for small movements.

is there a config line or something that can fix this?

I have a computer I built running FreeNAS. I have Plex and transmission running in jails and transmission connects to NordVPN through OpenVPN. I cannot seem to get it download any faster than around 400 kb/s. This wasn't a problem when I download torrents through NordVPN's client and utorrent or whatver torrent client.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Every time I reboot, there is a new UEFI entry in my bios and in efibootmgr. I've got like 16 entries for
$UEFI OS
I went through a bunch of old forum posts of people with the same problem, but no solution

how are you supposed to manage torrents on different computers?

So when it comes to interpreted vs compiled languages, why did interpreted become popular to begin with?

The fact that it relies on the user to not only obtain the program but also (in most cases) download an interpreter as well just to be able to run it, when a compiled program is just an .exe that can run on anything. Why does a non compiled option even exist?

I'm pretty shit at programming but I'm learning and trying to wrap my head around a lot of the low level stuff before focusing on other stuff.

How the fuck do I clone a RAID 1 array of HDD to a RAID 1 array of SSD?

>>57890512
Looks like a GPU or display connector problem; could also be a driver problem, boot into a Linux LiveCD before doing anything else, and if it's still fucked, open it up and look for where the display cord goes into the mobo. See if it's properly seated. If not, plug it in properly. If it's a GPU problem you're probably just fucked.

How the FUCK do you get into the bios in windows 10!? I have watched 10+ videos of people doing it online and followed instructions and my machine won't boot into the bios. The UEFI isn't a setting when I go into any of the advanced startup options. I have tried mashing F2/F11/delete on restart but the machine won't ever boot back into windows but nothing comes on the screen.. installed a new SSD and have been trying to get it to boot from that for like a week now.

>>57890863
>How the FUCK do you get into the bios in windows 10!?
It's not Windows dependent. Check your laptop/PC/motherboard manufacturer for info on how to get into UEFI/BIOS.

Since you have installed new SSD, I'm sure you are aware of the fact that it's empty and doesn't have any operating system on it, right? First of all you need to install one (Windows 10) on it to get 'anything on screen'.

I have windows 10 on a lenovo laptop and something is wrong the booting process appearantly. And on top of that, the auto-repair isn't working. I tried many different things to no avail. I ended up just restoring to the last update but now, about 12 hours later, it's done it again. What can I do to repair, or at least repair the auto-repair. I'm not very computer literate so I searched around for about two hours the first time around, even manually trying to fix the auto repair through the command prompt but I ended up just restoring it I should also add that before each time it would do this it would say "restart required" but I kept ignoring it. Both times I have done this I left it paused on a youtube video for a long time to go eat dinner and by the time I got back it was attempting auto repair. Is something wrong with it or is it my fault for not restarting it?

>about 12 hours later
If your laptop is less than 5 years old, it shouldn't take this long. Also by the description of your problem, it looks to me like you might have a faulty hard drive that needs to be replaced.
> I'm not very computer literate
Honestly here, find someone local that will be able to look it up for you.
Another option is that you just have somehow messed up installation of Windows, which in this case a clean reinstall should fix this problem.

>>57891440
In your case, no. Both modules run at max 1333MHz and in dual channel, so they're both running at max speed not limiting each other. The fact that they're running in dual channel is actually good for performance. Go read about it.
tl;dr you're good
>>57891442
Well easy fix would be to disable sleep timeout in windows settings. It also might be a case of faulty chipset driver in Windows. I seen this happening on some Intel chipsets. In this case, using drivers from laptop/motherboard manufacturer usually works, even when they're not the latest. For intel they're called intel management something.

The screen still works good, is there anyway of plugging the screen into something like a raspberry pi instead of throwing it out?

>>57891650
Probably there is no easy way.
Take it apart and sell on ebay.

>>57891650
I doubt it, short of opening it up and installing a new USB port somehow. At least it does use a standard format so it wouldn't be THAT hard, but still probably more trouble than it's worth.

I'm sorry for being retarded but what is that amd how can I make it stop causing problems. I read a little bit and I think you're saying that the external hardware I'm using may be causing problems? I use a wireless mouse but I also use a flash drive that I take in and out of often. I know that I'm not supposed to pull the flash drive out while its being used so I always use the safely remove option. Sometimes it'll say it can't remove it without me closing a running program and I could exit out of everything and it'll still say that. So I turn the laptop off and pull the flashdrive out. Could that have caused any problems?

Actually I think there's a way to do it from Windows now. Try shift-clicking restart and selecting recovery options or something like that. One of the options is reboot into BIOS.

>>57891037
Your OS is probably corrupt. I'd guess caused by bad or improperly-installed RAM. Run a few hours of memtest86+ to check. Regardless, you'll probably need to do an OS reinstall.

Is there a way I can install my android system to the SD card?
I have root and all and not dumb with phones
I have a budget Android phone because poor only 8 gigs of internal storage and an SD card slot (currently only a 2gig old af one I've had in a junk box in it) saw a sale for a 32gig for $7
Even with the bare bones apps o need installed and no games or such, and removing bloatware I do not use, as the cache fills up my phone drops to 300mbs of free space all the time (I have maybe about 700mbs
Even with images or shit I downloaded gone only 700
When it drops below 500 it starts to not get visual voicemail and it won't let me update apps that have like 10meg updates at most
I want to move system to the 32gig I will buy and hope everything is good and or get the 32gig and have everything but the system use sd storage

Can anyone advise/link to a proper way to virtualize osX/macOS on Windows 10? I have a nightmare of a problem... my work bought me an iMac to work on when I joined. Fine. But I had to take over a project that the previous team leader who developed a VM provisioning system to have a local playground... made it so it ONLY works on osX/macOS. I don't have a Mac at home.

The problem is that sometimes I work at home. I get paid ok, but have more than enough machines at home, and don't want to spend $1000 + on a machine for one fucking project a previous leader/loser couldn't/didn't care to make cross-OS compatible (I have about 15 projects under my belt where I made the local VM box provisioned to work on Windows, Mac, and Linux; so FUCK him).

Around 3-4 years ago I had osX VMed on Windows 10, but it seems way harder/impossible for me to do now (looking to get it in a VirtualBox or VMWware). I fucking hate Apple's dev ecosystem that requires rediculous buy-in; I can afford it but Africa is fucked lol. Someone should ask Cook how they're helping the IT sector in the Sahara.

REALLY stupid question. If I have an SSD as my primary, can I install programs to another disk? I've never had the opportunity to do this before; just did my first build in a decade today and always had just a single HDD.

>>57893706
Yes
Set the path to install into d drive or whatever drive letter you want to it write on
This is what you want to do because ssd can only write so many times, keep only system on there

>>57893774
So far I've only installed the OS and some utilities (MS Office, stuff for tagging files, 7zip, etc.) on the SSD. I bought a 525GB so I've got a bit of space, but I don't play on using it for storage of videos of audio. I'm going to put some games on it for load times. Thanks for the info!

into the headphone jack at the front and used a 3.5mm to RCA adapter at the rear to plug my amp into the "line out" jack on my computer, all well and good, but I'm pretty sure I've screwed up somewhere.

I have both the PC volume and Amp volume all turned up to MAX, and sound the amp is reproducing is so quiet, like real whisper quiet. I've checked both the amp/cans are compatible, checked what I ordered was actually an amp and not just a DAC (just in case I made a rookie mistake), checked I used the right cables etc, but the amp doesn't seem to be producing any, well, amplification.

Any help would be appreciated,

Ok /g/uys, I've installed pihole on my rpi and ads aren't being blocked on my phone (android).

Maybe I didn't set it up right?

I have 32GB DDR3 which is built for 2400MHz @ 1.65V, but my processor defaults it to 1.5V @ 1333MHz.

Apparently if I overvolt the RAM (1.65V) to up the clockspeed (to 2400MHz), my CAS timings will go up (from 9-9-9-24 to 11-13-13-31).

I'm not sure what matters more in terms of performance. Is it worth it to overclock/overvolt my RAM if it causes my CAS timings to rise?

How do you get a new general thread? Do you tell a admins to make a new one?

Google isn't better just because it has the most sites indexed, it tends to be better about returning results that are actually relevant to what you're looking for without making you look through a bunch of bullshit. Comparing to other search engines they really don't come close as far as determining what results are relevant goes.

Recently I noticed that a game I've been playing, Dark Souls 3, has rather bad pop-in when it comes to loading models as you come closer to them.

A friend suggested that this might have to do with the page file in windows and virtual memory. Only, I don't know shit about that and I find a lot of conflicting info about it.

For some info on my build, I'm using an SSD which I have windows installed on, and I install the games on that aswell. I also have a HDD in there for data storage. I have pretty decent hardware that should be able to run Dark Souls 3 easily with no problem (i7 6700K, gtx1080, 16GB of ram if that's relevant) so I don't think that would be the issue.

So basically the question I have is: Is it possible my page file/virtual memory stuff is misconfigured (I never fucked with it, it's all default) and that's why I get strong pop-in in that game? If so, any guidelines for proper configuration here?
Or is the game just like that and my friend is full of shit? He's been known to be.

the important thing is to prevent the fans from spinning? when cleaning and don't turn on unless 30 min have passed?
Right?

>>57896267
before you start you want your pc to be turned off for at least 30 minutes (1h+ advices) and cool down to the room temperatures

when spraying air don't hold down for a long time, be extra careful around fans.
short bursts, wait for it to stop spinning, redo.

once done you want to leave it for again 30m-1h

make sure to shake the can you actually spray air and not fluids

>>57896267
You don't need to wait at all. Just keep the can upright so the propellant doesn't come out as liquid and make things frosty. I often clean mine with it on so I can watch the dust fly out the back.

Also, have some kind of HEPA in your home. It doesn't eliminate the need to dust, but it can cut it down to once a year and prevents water left out tasting funny and you coughing up fluids constantly. If there's central forced air, that's enough, but if you're in an apartment without anything like that, you'll have about 10x the suspended particles.

I know this is stupid questions, but are you actually retarded? Mini cards compromise on the surface area of the cooler, increasing the temperature and noise.

Shine a light in the air conditioner and see if there's black mold. Most of them eventually grow some on the foam. Putting a filter on it will drastically lower its efficiency and cost you a bit. A filter on a PC case will be ineffective because there's so many other holes it goes through. So all it will do is restrict airflow.

The only thing you have to worry about is if the parts work together, power supply is powerful enough, and your case has enough space for everything. Use PC part picker since it will tell you if the parts work together or not.

No, you should put some thought into things and get what you need for what you intend to do.

/g/, I've been trying for the past couple of days to install Windows 7 onto an NVMe M.2 drive and the consensus is that you need to slipstream the windows hotfix that provides NVMe support into boot.wim and install.wim. I've managed to get a pristine Windows 7 image to boot properly from a USB3 slot on my Skylake system using the tool provided by MSI, but whenever I attempt to modify the wim files with DISM, the Windows setup bugs out and doesn't display the version selection screen, then tells me I am missing CD/DVD drivers (which is nonsense). Googling this will just point to USB3 or AHCI problems, but neither of those is correct because I had that shit working before I touched the wim files. Has anyone ever gotten this shit to work?

I could just install Windows 10, but if it truly comes to that I might have to kill myself.

Also a few questions regarding hardware...

1. You can't just upgrade the CPU, the mobo/BIOS have to be able to support it?

2. You can have more than one RAM stick as long as the clock speed is the same?

3. The RAM DDR is irrelevant if your mobo can't support it?
For example mobo support DDR3 and RAM module is DDR5 it will run as if it was DDR3?

4. You should never use RAM of different storage.

5. Case fan is important and should be set to blow air to the case?

6. Never connect the case USB ports to the mobo since it could short circuit it?

I don't know much about HDDs but they scare the shit out of me because I have lots of important stuff that I don't want to lose, so I'm always backing up my shit and getting paranoid about my hard drive's health.
The noise is definitely worrying, but if it's normal for certain hard drives to be loud while reading/writing, then I won't worry about it. Unless of course the frequency with which my computer does so is a different problem entirely.

Are all servers daemons?

Something is going on with quick reply and 4chinks won't let me post with it. I had to disable both 4chan X and the native extension to even be able to post this.

Chrome (yes I know) gives me this error in the console:

Origin 'https://boards.4chan.org' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 403.

I can't into web, so please help me out. What is going on?

You mean USB keyboards/mice and USB flash drivers, right?
You still need to install the drivers of the mobo chip-set or if you have dedicated GPU.

Tried to connect monitor to motherboard with HDMI, nothing happened. Tried DVI, that worked. So I downloaded Intel graphics driver, but it still doesn't work. What do?

What happens when wifi devices won't connect after restarting, resetting the router and reinstalling windows, linux or ios?

Has happened to three pairs of devices of mine where the device works fine with other networks, and the router works with any other device that I have by hand.

Is this a good setup for airflow in my case? Sorry for the shit diagram, arrows indicate locations of fans and push or pull config

I have a shitty comcast modem/router combo (tc8305c) thing, and I would like to upgrade, so that I get better internet around my house. Should I buy a new modem and a new router or can i just get a new router for the time being, and invest in a new modem when I have more money? Also the way it's setup I can't really move my modem any closer to my room for a wired connection which is on the opposite side of the house.

>>57901790
Search panel on the left has the options you are looking for

>>57901798
Why are you blowing all that hot air back on to your system?
Remove second fans on top and just use the coolers
You dont need fans on the bottom

>>57901798
Hot air ascends, so maybe reverse the fans one the radiator and the one in the back

>>57901831
the ones in the front are alright, I suppose?

>>57901870
Have the two fans in the front of the case be intake, rad fans on the top pushing out and exhaust fan.

>>57901801
A new modem won't be any faster. A new wireless access point may be. That can be determined by connecting a PC to the Comcast box with a cable. If it's still slow, that means it's all you're getting from their end, nothing to do with the hardware you have.

You should stop renting a modem and buy one, if you're not afraid of shifting the demarcation point. It pays off within a year.

>>57901808
>Search panel on the left has the options you are looking for
Panel on the Left? are they a monitor manufacturer? or are you just fucking with me to check google?

I have tested a wired connection with my laptop and I receive about 100 Mbp/s, but when I test it from the wireless computers around the house it varies from 15 Mbp/s to 30 Mbp/s. What suggestions do you have for a decent router? My budget is about $150.

>>57901994
It's usually on the lower end of the 15-30 Mbp/s unless its the middle of the night or in the middle of a work day.

>>57901963
The huge extensive search panel on the left will let you narrow it down based on your needs.

You'd get better results asking between monitors instead of "find me monitors".

>>57902033
Oh, you mean newegg
they dont seem to have an option for filtering out LED backlights

>>57901994
>>57902010
That's your LAN connection. It doesn't need to be faster if your Internet bandwidth is less than that. Go wired, web search "speed test", and realize you're a dumbass.

Why is ReLive giving me audio troubles and amssive slowdons even though the video is fine?

>>57902055
I used a speed test to determine my speeds. That's how I got those numbers, and if i'm paying for 100 Mbps down why shouldn't I be able to utilize all of it?

>>57901994
I have a couple of laptops and some easily reach 70mbps on wireless, while some barely reach 30mbps. With the same wireless router and the same distance/location. Your laptop might be the problem instead of the router.

Most providers cover their ass by stating 'speeds up to x' so if it's lower they can blame traffic or your hardware instead of upgrading their infrastructure.

It has mechanical parts, it has a spinning disc and a head that reads/writes, if you move the HDD while it's working you may break something due to scratches or something, also most HDDs have some vibration due to it's spinning which could result in an annoying rattling sound in your case if it isn't properly screwed in.
