Is there a way to filter away those likes that have been retweeted in the "Likes" tab on my Twitter profile?

The reason I ask is because I often "Like" articles I want to read later (and from there decide to retweet or unlike it).

I apologize for asking this.

Is it a good idea to teach myself some programming before attending a school for it?

Any good books for C or Java out there? What other programming language should I learn?

I think I can hear my router making some static like scratch sounds, this shit's not even a month old yet, what the fuck.

I need to write an essay about security protocols by layers.
Where can I get some good reading about IPsec, SSL, TLS, SSH and PGP?

Aksing this again, although the anon in the other thread was helpful, I wouldn't mind reading more on the subject. He recommended two boosk, namely "Network Security Assesment" and "A Guide to Computer Network Security".

What are some others on the subjects, specifically those protocols and cryptography?

Pretty much all laptops that have the same specs as the macbook are cheaper.

So I want to setup a 5.1audio system
Can I buy a cheap receiver and send only audio through optical from my mobo and th send vídeo signal from my gpu to my tv?


My tv is 4K so if I were to connect it to my receiver I would need to buy a receiver caplable of 4K/60hz 4:4:4 and that goes like double my Budget


The other workaroubd I have found is to buy 3 lepai amp and send audio signal from my mobo to each amp

What's the difference between the reboot at the end of a Linux installation and the normal reboot?

I have a Surface 2 Pro with a bad internal drive and installed Mint 18 on a 128gb micro SD. When it rebooted at the end of the installation it booted from the micro SD and everything worked fine. But when I turned it off and back on a week later it's back to acting like it has no OS (goes straight to the "Trusted Platform Enable/Disable, Secure Boot Enable/Disable" menu and nothing else.

Can I run the end-of-installation reboot from Terminal via bootable USB or do I have to sit through installation again and just never turn it off?

I bought a Gigabyte GTX 1060 3gb for $200 and I'm alright with it, I'm just kinda curious if an RX 480 would've been a better buy.
I game at 1080p, and am not planning on upgrading to 1440p or anything any time soon, so memory isn't a concern. 3gb vs 4gb of memory isn't something I'm worried about as I came from a 1gb 650 ti and could live with that.

I'm heading by the store I got it at tomorrow for other reasons but while I'm there, should I return it and get a 480?

>>58005356
Try turning it on by holding power + volume up.

>>58001722
WD red or comparable Seagate server drive + external hard drive enclosure or dock.
The WD red is pretty reliable and since you shouldn't be moving it and tossing it around a lot, an 'ultra rugged' enclosure or external travel drive isn't needed.

>>58005374
If it's the same price, yes. Especially if you can get an XFX GTR one, reviews seem to show that XFX has the best 480s. New drivers have the 480 basically equal in dx11, and noticeably better in dx12 (comparing reference to reference). I hear the 3gb 1060 is a bit slower than the 6gb as well.
If it's noticeably more expensive for the 480, stick with your 1060, as the 480 is only marginally better and consumes a bit more power.

Why are NVIDIA GPUs/drivers so shit now?

I bought a GTX 680 in 2012. It ran flawlessly for four years, never had a driver crash ever, every game ran fine, good temps, hardly audible, etc.

My new GTX 1070 runs hot as fuck, loud as fuck, often has some shit tier coil whine, I regularly have driver crashes, sometimes I even download newer drivers and fuck my performance in some games over.

>>58005478
Coil whine and running hot are AIB issues usually, or did you buy reference?

>>58005374
I'd say get the RX 480. AMD generally gives you a better deal for your money. The only time you would want to buy NVidia is if you wanted a super graphics card, the kind that AMD doesn't have, but since you don't want something like a 1080, AMD is your best bet. You get better specs and pay less.

>>58005513
MSI Gaming X was what I bought.

And I just say hot relative to my 680... Even at 100% for hours my 680 would top out at like ~70C... And I couldn't even hear its fans.

This 1070 regularly gets into the mid 80s... And that's with its fans sounding like a fucking jet engine... MSI support told me those temps are perfectly normal.

Positive.
The USB installer is only a 4gb thumb drive. The installer made me unmount the 128gb micro SD before it could install, I removed the USB and used the tablet for a week with only the micro SD in it, I copied a 3 gb folder into my "documents" folder after installing, and most importantly the entire file structure (including the aforementioned 3gb folder of /m/-related reaction pics) is still on the micro SD.

4chan was not my first resort here. I don't mean to be rude, but "google something" is hardly a helpful reply.
The myriad installation problems in the linux threads all involve a working drive in the Surface. The closest thing I've found is instructions to install the boot partition on the internal drive and the OS on the micro SD and that doesn't help since the Surface is not detecting the internal drive at all (I think it's loose and these are a bitch to open and work on).

I know there's a difference between the normal reboot and the reboot at the end of the Linux installation because it did a warm reboot and loaded off the micro SD. The question is only "can I instigate this type of reboot from Terminal and if so, how?" and if you don't know, that's okay. Maybe someone else does.

To reiterate, the Linux install worked correctly, but during a normal warm or cold boot the Surface is not looking to the micro SD for an OS. BUT the reboot at the end of the Linux install *did* cause the Surface to look to the micro SD for an OS and I'd like to know how to do that without formatting and reinstalling every time I turn it off.

After finishing the installation, it prompted me to remove the installation medium and it rebooted and it worked. After turning it off and cold booting, it did not work. After booting by bootable USB and then rebooting (and removing bootable USB) it did not work.
Something definitely happened during the post-install reboot that did not happen during a cold boot or reboot from USB. I don't know what, and apparently you don't either.

>data gets securely wiped on loss of power
>data gets wiped if any usb without the AUTH file is plugged in
I have 2 questions, what other failsafes should I add and can I make a raspberry pis SD card impossible to mount (without using full disk encryption) or even corrupt if it's unplugged

>post-install reboot
This isnt a thing, it is not another special program that magically shuts down. It is literally the same reboot that everyone has.
>you dont
If you had factual issues that we could actually attempt to diagnose,then perhaps we could, but this nonesense about a special reboot, is where we are limited.

What's an example of a simple problem where this is the best approach? If you're trying to use dynamic programming and your subproblem graph isn't a DAG, you break it down into strongly connected components and solve the resulting DAG. I can't figure out what search keywords will separate the wheat from the chaff.

>>58006304
Let me say this one more time, in greentext:
>installed
>reboot prompt
>worked
>turned off
>turned on
>didn't work
>usb boot
>reboot
>didn't work
If you don't know why, then shut the fuck up.

Just for keks, reinstall Linux mint and see if that works. If not, then you probably are going to have to replace the internal hard drive.
Also, the only reason I said "google it" was because half the people in these threads don't do it.

How do you tell if a keyboard is shit? I want a decent wireless/mouse thing for when I am in bed, and I've always wanted a backlit keyboard so I found these two things on amazon:

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01AUO3UYS/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A2IJXZ1FD77INR&psc=1

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00ORFW2UA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A15CBTP5BTSNTZ&psc=1

I am super less concerned about the wireless one as it's just something quick and dirty, but I want it to be full size.

The backlit one would be my main keyboard though, I don't want it to be a waste.

Also if I add a third monitor to my setup, is that going to cause my computer to explode? Especially while doing the vidya gamin?

1. You clearly have no idea what might be causing it to fail on every reboot after the first
2. You didn't ask for logs
3. post-install reboot just means the reboot that happens at the end of the installation
4. do you not even know that systems can reboot with special instructions? have you literally never seen "your computer may restart several times during this process"? do you not get the fact that this means it is doing something during this reboot which does not happen during a cold boot which is why the process continues after the reboot? do you not realize that rebooting with special instruction does not require a different reboot command, just accompanying instruction?

1. Your card most likely is not being recognized and or is mis-formated.Your chroot instance(the magic install shell) is supplying it properly
2. You didnt take the smallest step and provide the basic set of logs
3.You are classifying this """""post install reboot""""" as something special(other did you give it a name with a name then just """reboot"""
4.Maybe in your windows world, but when using linux,outside of maybe a special run around touching the kernel, you wont ever have such a thing.
5. No one is going to help you if you are this combative
6.Furthermore, no logs :^)

So one day a few years ago in the summer I come home and EVERYTHING with a rubberized coating in my room has a tacky feel. Airsoft guns, a dagger, some cables, but the worst was my mouse wheel. It turned gelatinous, fell off the mouse and onto the floor where I promptly ran it over with my computer chair and it made a big mess. I live in New England with humid/muggy summers. What the fuck happened?

It may work better if you disable the speaker devices you don't want to use. That may force the applications to switch devices.
It may also help if you paused all the sounds before switching, but I'm just guessing with this one.

>>58007075
your laptop might have a 4 pin audio port like on a cell phone. You can get a splitter for that. A USB sound card may not be all that beneficial compared to the USB mic unless the mic you already have is nice. I suspect the audio quality to acceptable but kind of eh at best.

A friend gave me his old "gaming laptop"
I cannot for the life of me get the fan to start. I've used speedfan and afterburner which couldn't detect it, then I opened it up and made sure everything was connected/able to spin/dust free
as far as I can tell there's nothing wrong, what should I do? Something like send it somewhere for repairs or buy a replacement fan? Is it even worth it?

>>58007132
Nah, my motherboard wouldn't recognize the hdds with the corsair cables. Also, it looks like rosewill doesn't sell cables individually so I'm gettng gyped into buying a new psu.

Also: https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/2v42b1/psa_modular_power_supply_cables_are_not_swappable/?st=iwpthp5n&sh=5fce32bd

There are a fuckton of people talking about how they lost tons of data because they mixed and matched psu modular cables.

I have all my passwords stored in LastPass, but I have become unhappy with that after my post-/g/ awakening. I have been looking at Keepass (X specifically) as a replacement, but I have some concerns. Firstly, does keepass (or forks) have decent android and chromebook support, because that is the primary reason I use LP. Secondly, what is the online sync situation for keepass? Can you put your database on say Google Drive or some other cloud storage service? Thanks.

>>58007166
OH, I didn't realize you were talking about modular cables. Yeah, you probably fucked the drive. There's no guarantee that the pinout on the PSU side would be the same between manufacturers.

ok so in the UK you have to decrypt data, but if I make a script that makes it so I don't know the decryption passphrase and makes it so the passphrase isn't stored and the encrypted volume only gets mounted once legally I'm fine right? I mean I have no key to hand over and the passphrase isn't stored anywhere

>>58007278
what's the use if you only mount the drive once?

>>58007309
it means if the device loses power of the sd card gets pulled out of the device I wouldn't be able to decrypt it even if I wanted to

>>58007316
so this means if I was raided chances are one of those two things would happen, meaning if I get raided I don't have to do anything to protect my data

>>58007316
so you'll just never turn it off? It sounds like it will cause you headaches. Also sounds legally grey, but if you don't have the passphrase then you can't comply.
>>58007327
The SSD might be fucked, but you should be able to recover the data from the HDDs. It's the controller on that that's most likely fucked, not the data.

>>58007359
>so you'll just never turn it off?
exactly, two of them will exist with battery packs in case of power outages - one as the main storage device one as a mirror in case of hardware failure

I'm not doing anything illegal I'd just hate for sex tapes of me and my gf to be viewed by anyone but me

>>58007359
>It's the controller on that that's most likely fucked, not the data.
Holy shit, really?
Do you have a link explaining how to recover the data?

I have a pair of bluetooth headphones. They work great with my computer but stutter every 5 seconds on my phone, worse with WiFi on (makes sense since they share the same radio). Anything I can do about it? I have a galaxy S5 with ye olde android (5.1.1).

>>58001433
Where do I torrent books?

>>58007374
honestly if it's just sex tapes of you and your girlfriend and it isn't illegal then it would be easier to just hand over the password than set up the what you're suggesting and explaining that you can't decrypt it.
>>58007379
I don't have a link, but basically since they are hard disk drives, the disk drives are most likely fine. When you get a new PSU, maybe try powering the HDD. They may still work, but if they are fried it could damage other things by shorting out or supplying a higher voltage over the SATA cable to the mobo or something. If you don't want to try that, the way you would recover the data is by putting the disks in an identical drive with a good controller, or putting a new controller into the bad HDD.

Vim says --INSERT-- in insert mode. How do I make it say --NORMAL-- in normal mode?

>>58007445
Anon, thank you so much. I feel a lot better knowing there's a good shot I'll get my data back.

>>58007486
Maybe something like this? Won't say --NORMAL-- but you can set your statusline color to something that will indicate it just as well.

http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Change_statusline_color_to_show_insert_or_normal_mode

>>58007491
It won't be easy mind you, but that's probably what data restoration professionals would try if the drive was non-responsive. Make sure it's the same logic board. Same manufacturer, same model. Some models may share a logic board, but I'm not sure. You would have to research the specific ones
Also try using a program called testdisk. I've used it to recover a master boot record once. It can repair partitions or something.

1. Is there a way to view (in Windows File Explorer) all my files in one window. By this I mean including all the shit in folders, sub folders and subfolders within those subfolders.

2. Is there a file tagging software that tags ALL types of files? I want something like iTunes(that ain't shit) but for all files (mp3, jpg, bmp, png, mp4, gif, webm, mp4) so when i open my stuff in my Android device i don't have to sort them in a file manager all detailed and shit.

>>58007667
like with a tree view? Yes. If you want something like explorer, I think there's third party ones with a tree view.
Look into windirstat if you want more of a tool. It's really useful for figuring out where all of your space went.
You could probably write a batch script or python or something, but not every file type will have a metadata tag appropriate for that. Having the android device sort by filetype is probably the easiest way though.

I ordered the components for a custom built gaming PC back in 2012 and am now looking to upgrade. I'm an amateur so I would love any input or advice. I use the PC for school and gaming-wise I run things like Skyrim, Overwatch, CSGO etc. My budget is ~$1000 CDN

Here is the current setup:
CPU: Intel Core i7 3770K @ 3.50GHz
RAM: 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3
MOBO: ASUS P8Z77-V LK
GFX: 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
SSD: 111GB OCZ-VERTEX3 (BOOT)
SATA: 931GB Seagate ST1000DM003-1CH162
POWER: 750w

I am definitely going to upgrade my chassis for aesthetic reasons, and I'm pretty sure I've decided on the Corsair CC-9011048-WW (pictured) However there is also the option of a Mini/Micro ATX version of the case which is significantly cheaper, but I'm unaware if the smaller MOBOs will fit my needs, thoughts? My current MOBO hasn't given me any problems, and I'm definitely not upgrading my CPU.

What do you think I should upgrade? Should I buy a MiniATX, regular ATX or just use my old one? Should I upgrade my RAM? What else do I need when purchasing a new chassis? Should I get 2 new SSDs or just one? Should I buy custom weaved cables? How can I tell if RGB LED strips are compatible with a MOBO or PS?

Right now the things I may purchase are:

GFX: (CDN$ 365.93) EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 GAMING, ACX 2.0 (Single Fan), 6GB GDDR5 Graphics Card, 06G-P4-6161-KR
MOBO: (CDN$ 240.99) GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

I'm having a serious problem with my computer and it started to happen today. I had my computer running for a couple of weeks now an decided to clean it out. I didn't so much cleaning because the R4 makes my job easier. Cleaned off the fan filters, powered it on, suck on the BIOS splash screen. I remember this same thing had happened before and a restart usually fixed it but that didn't happen. I unplugged it, waited awhile and plugged it back in. This time it finally let me back on Windows 10 but right after I got all happy it gets unresponsive again on Firefox. Flip the reset switch in the back, power it back on, suck on the BIOS screen again. At this point I had to narrow it down to some sort of hardware issue so just had the KB+M plugged in, removed one RAM stick and it worked. I put in a second stick and it kept getting stuck in a bootloop where it kept restarting every 2-3 seconds which means something is shorting something. Eventually after about an hour trying to screw around with it I updated the graphics card driver because I was thinking that was the problem but it wasn't. I ran 12 cycles in memtest64 to see if there were any errors, nothing, even took out the CMOS battery for good measure and still nothing. I have a feeling that my ssd is starting to fail but ssdlife is telling me something completely different. In the process of trying to reinstall Windows 10 it reached 100%, restart, and now in the boot menu the SSD isn't showing up now. If I were to unplug my computer and wait a bit then it would show up. Anyone have any ideas? I'm almost positive at this point it's the SSD

>>58008691
Right, guess I'll have to give local stores a visit for something tomorrow then.

>>58008221
>>58008652
Also if you plan on getting a new motherboard you need a new CPU.

You cant use a 1155 CPU(Sandy/Ivy bridge) on a 1151(Skylake) motherboard.

>>58008695
Run MEMTEST86+ with both RAM in.
Your second RAM stick is likely bad.

Which SSD?

>>58008652
thanks for the reply, I will likely grab the graphics card I mentioned. do you think going down on one fan will matter much? also is 1070 worth it?

>850 EVO
Is this an M2 model?

when does one know it is time to upgrade their MOBO?

>>58008790
850 EVO is a SATA SSD.
950 EVO is the M2 version.

When you need a feature a new motherboard came with.
In example, M2 slot, DDR4 RAM, Need to upgrade CPU because its outdated or doesn't meet your requirements for what you are doing, etc.

1070 is overkill for 1080@60FPS, get one if you are going to play at 144Hz or 1440+.
GTX 1060 6GB enough for high settings at 1080@60FPS.

>>58008782
I ran it with both ram sticks in

Sandisk. It's fairly old. Maybe 5-6 years old.

I haven't run into anymore bootloop problems I'm just getting problems with my computer not recognizing my SSD when I reboot. So far that problem only happened twice during the reinstall of 10 but I'm testing it out now with multiple restarts and see if my BIOS finally recognizes my drive every time.

>>58008834
SSD Plus?

Try a linux USB to check your SSD status.
Check that the SATA cable is connected correctly.

Yes SSD plus. I ran that test on an AVG scanner and it mentioned something about the SSD drive not being properly mounted. I'm still getting these issues with a fresh install. I'll try changing ports and see if that does anything.

>>58008827
ah okay, so if I wanted to upgrade my SSD to M2 like you suggested, I would need to get a new board? is M2 worth it?

I was also looking at getting a new moniter however and was going to look into 1440k, would think all require a new MB and 1070+?

>>58008885
>I would need to get a new board?
Yes, unless you have a free PCIe x4 slot.

>Is M2 worth it?
Not really, SATA SSDs are good enough.
They are really expensive to be worth it and you cant notice the improvement in most stuff.
SATA SSDs like the 850 EVO are already fast enough for everything.

>New monitor
Motherboard? No.
1070? No exactly but it would go great with it.

>>58008863
>Yes SSD plus
I thought so, i wouldn't be surprised if it started failing, its a early low end TLC SSD after all.
6 years sounds good enough from it.

Still check the SATA cable.

>>58008556
you can do a lot of shit like that using graphvis

I see on consoles, like a ps4, it upscales content to the max monitor/tv resolution. Does anything on a PC do this? Say you play a blu ray on your PC that's only 1080p but you have a 1440p monitor, can you upscale the video to 1440p or does it just get stretched?

>>58008923
thank you very much for the info. so I think i'm going to buy this case, a 1070 card (do i need 2 fans?) and probably a 1440k monitor. given my setup should this all work with 750w?

One of the main things you should look in a GPU is cooling so yeah.

Yes, 750W is more than enough.

Before adding LED strips and other decorations first get in order what you will buy since you will spend a good amount of money on the GPU alone.

>>58009063
the monitor is probably a few months down the line purchase but I want to really enjoy an above 1080p experience at some point and itll be a long time after this that i upgrade.

EVGA had problems with VRMs turning on literal fire on their GTX 10x0 line.

Try MSI or Zotac.

Also Corsair carbide 540?
Looks quite expensive but cases are mostly personal choices so up to you.

Usually 1 intake and 1 exaust is enough.
1 intake and 2 exhaust are good too.

>>58002827
No, yes, install Windows first (if it isn't already) and Linux Mint second, so you get GRUB.

You should be able to get files from other partitions if they're in a compatible format, all you need to do is mount it.

Partition with that Windows partition manager shit. If you just use GParted you might fuck it up if it isn't just installed. It might say that it can't shrink it's partition past x MB/GB, even though you have y GB free space left, and I can't help you with that one.

Don't fuck up.

Is the FX 8350 a piece of shit processor? I'm on a tight budget and I want to try get the best performance I can. Should I just get an i5-6400?

>>58003139
No and very.

Kill yourself.

>>58009259
It's not worth getting, especially not now.
If you're on a tight budget you should wait until Zen.
Not to buy zen, but just to see if it's good or not.
If it's good, prices on CPUs are gonna come down.
If it's not, AMD is dead and you'd better get a CPU before prices shoot up

I honestly can't tell the difference between some of the cards, how does this one look? is there anything different between the ARMOR and the GAMING version other than aesthetic?

also you got any chassis suggestions or know any good stylish compact preferably cube cases for a better price range?

thanks again for all the info youve been a massive help

>>58009259
It's a fine enough processor in some situations.

If you're into gaming it gets badly let down by the crappier single thread performance.

It does tend to overclock well though.

That said a run of the mill i5 should easily best it in most situations.

>>58009259
Yes, that CPU is 5 years old to start with.

If you need the PC now, yes, the I5 will be good enough.

>>58004572
No and no.

>>58004996
No.

How about Work Market and Field Nation?

Wireless dongles for laptops worth it?
i have a fairly cheap laptop and it only get 2.4ghz but our new modem does both 2,4 and 5 so i was looking into a dongle to buy. Running Win10 if that matters

>>58009296
Will prices go down on any CPUs when zen is released? I'm not in US so it's unlikely I'll get the trickle down value for ages. I'm pulling the pin on my build in Feb next year so I still have time. I'm leaning towards Intel though, and buying a 1050Ti with it.

how do i get wifi to work on arch?

Checked the cables they're fine. It was actually a Kingston SSD sorry. It seems like this hangup problem only happens when it wants to. I'm not sure of anything else that would cause the system to freeze like this and then having BIOS not being able to find the driver. I never flashed the firmware before, is that something I should look into?

SV300 then?

Unless there is a reason to dont flash your motherboard.

Try Linux to see your system stability and confirm its your SSD.
Reinstall windows 7 on your SSD.

>>58009382
>SV300 then?
Yes

>Unless there is a reason to dont flash your motherboard.
I meant flashing my SSD

>Try Linux to see your system stability and confirm its your SSD.
Would any version of Linux show this? Like I said I tried some AVG rescue boot USB and it said there was a problem with the mounting drive or something along those lines. It was a Linux program I believe.

>Reinstall windows 7 on your SSD.
I probably have no other choice but to go back to 7. If that fixes my problem I'll never use 10 again.

>>58009358
to expand on this, i selected my wifi in wifi-menu and put in my key but then nothing happens.

>>58009428
Yes, just make a Linux Mint USB and check that your SSD is being detected and run the test benchmark on it.

Also that your PC is not crashing while you are using it.

Also if you are using a SV300 you bought probably one of the worst SSDs available leaving chink SSDs aside.
You got what you paid for.

>>58009474
Thanks I'll give that a try later. It could also be my motherboard as well since it's not being able to read my main OS SSD driver sometimes. Fucking weird

Does anyone here know anything about texture compression? I think this texture is compressed, but I have no idea which format (2003 Konami, I suspect DXT1/3/5).

glCompressedTexImage2DARB segfaults on me when I give it then pixel data, and I'm not sure why.

Kickstarting a "dead" LiPo in a thrifted tablet while I wait for a replacement. The protection circuit is hella aggressive and won't charge if it goes below 3.6. I found the cells at 3.0 volts. Currently bypassing the circuit by feeding electricity through a spliced USB cable sitting on the cell tabs. Looking to go to just under 4.2 volts before I put it back in. Power source is a 1A battery bank that happens to have the same 6000 mAh capacity as the battery pack. The 9 volts are there just to weigh down the wire.
Also, the cells seem to balance each other automagically, as measuring either of them results in the same reading despite having only fed one.
Anything else I should be aware of? Is the voltage going to spike near the end of the charge? Maybe I should check in with >>>/diy/ or >>>/toy/?

>>58009574
okay so I tried 32-bit RGBA (on the raw data) and set the resolution to 256x256 (texture size is reportedly 512x512) and this came out.

Is this what raw compressed image data looks like???

does it still have a chance?

>>58010109
you'll need a specialist for that or some skills to solder stuff.

taking in count you posted a picture with that resolution just o show a broken SD, better take it to the specialist.

I think my r9 290 is dying.
I noticed today when I booted up DOA5 (ironically enough) that it was throwing random black and blue polygonal lines every few seconds. Tried Dark Souls 3 and the Heaven benchmark and same deal. Clean installed drivers and reset all overclocking and tweaks I'd made. Didn't help.

Was working fine until the windows update last night and the relive update. Am I fucked?

If you do not care about storage space - yes (Currently at ~3TB, 113818 songs). You can always convert down, but not up. That is why a long term flac library makes sense: Not because of any fancy difference that might be heard, but because you can always use the currently best lossy format if you are away.
In the moment, that might be Opus.

Oh, and don't even try flac with any preset over 5 - that's not worth it.

>>58009979
I guess I always assumed it meant the size of a single drive, and that you could have multiple drives up to 2tb.
