what is a good mouse that isn't some gaymer shit? i have a razer deathadder and i regret it so much. it quickly broke such that the mouse wheel doesnt work and it often doubleclicks on single clicks.

what should prevent me from buying a cheap motherboard?

i already have a functioning PC. the GPU stopped working after i mistakenly kicked the PC case several times. i tried other GPUs as well so it must be the motherboard.

Where is the invoice number on a Microcenter receipt? Is it the Reference Number on the Rebate slip? or is the invoice number composed of numbers only?

Your processor, USB 3.0 headers, SSD connectivity; but mostly your processor. It's tough to find a cheap mobo that supports an LGA 1151 its easy to find cheap mobos for AM1's.

Well this happened to my monitor. How fucked am I? Is this an easy repair?

I checked with Acer and my monitor is still under warranty till 2018 but they don't repair monitors so I have no clue what the warranty is even for.

I'm looking to upgrade my current SSD, which is an 840 EVO of 120 GB. I'm looking at either getting the 850 PRO or 950 PRO, at 500 GB. Which should I go with?

>>58095321
HD has a price threshold that's much higher. If this is an external monitor replacing the screen shouldn't be too hard. The problem is Goodwill's everywhere have monitors of a variety of size and quality for $10.

Are eGPUs efficient, or do they bottleneck heavily? How long before Current TB3 solutions are bottlenecking?

PCIe 3.0 x16 seems to have massively higher bandwidth than TB3 before even getting around to the overhead of making it work.

Has anyone compared performance between something like:
GTX 1080 over desktop native PCIe 3.0 x16 slot
vs.
Razer Core (for eg.) over TB3 for the same PC

I've run across the $40 number for most HD screens for phones and laptops. I have a single monitor sitting aside right now I'm getting ready to put a new screen in. Here's how I will do it:
>Locate part number or serial number.
>Use this part number to discover part number for screen replacement (some place like Tom's Hardware).
>Use discovered screen part number to order screen from China.
>Wait one month.
>Receive screen and attempt repair.

>>58096439

>>58096169
Linux distro or quit whining. You have plenty of opportunity to turn off or uninstall the bloatware.
>Here's a better idea CODE YOUR OWN!

>>58096458
The screen will typically have power connectors and boards behind the screen but screen repair normally only involves disassembling the frame, unplugging and unbolting the old screen and bolting in a new screen. It is always a good idea to wear the least static-y clothes you have when you do the install.

get one of those plastic screwdriver things as well, they sell them at autoparts stores, it keeps the plastic shell from getting messed up when you take it apart, quite handy.

aside from the screen breaking, the thing that fails on most TVs is capacitors so when you open it up check that none are browned/burnt/leaking looking.

I wrongfully installed the Snow Leopard boot DVD on the HDD in an iMac (ca. 2009 CE). Can I use UBCD to wipe the Hard Disk? I can definitely boot Grub so my guess is yes. Hence the post in /sqt/.

Because it's very easy to type on a keyboard and post to the internet. I doubt it would ever cost more than a <$100 monitor to fix it yourself (barring more problems than a simple screen).
All told though it is very hard to avoid breaking every single plastic clip in the frame.

I'd still look at your local Goodwills and bargain stores though. You may find the screen you're looking for there.

I will someday attempt to match screens up just by size and connector but I only have one broken screen right now so it's more advantageous for my time to get the specific screen.
If you want to throw in a different one you're going to need to check voltages.
I can't find the post about checking capacitors but when it comes to those look at the X and the sides of the capacitor and see if it's swollen. Swollen doesn't mean dead but it does mean it's going. Burn marks on the PCB are also good to check for and missing semiconductors (little square ceramic bits soldered to the board).

Can someone put 2 + 2 together and figure out my identity in this case?


Where I am tons of my friends have gotten piracy notices from their ISP and I have a business account I'd really rather not lose or something, piracy in general is specifically prohibited in the contract and I think getting caught means suspension.

>>58095770
OK I looked up on it and it tells me to map for each stream based on the output of
ffmpeg -i input.mkv

What I want to know is is there any universal way to always just copy the audio or video stream without changing the format? Because I always have to specify an output file, which means I need to specify a file type. So if the output of that gives me something like

Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (Main), yuv420p, 476x360 [SAR 1:1 DAR 119:90], 29.97 fps, 29.97 tbr, 1k tbn, 59.94 tbc (default)

it won't reencode it if I specify the output of the "map" command as "output.h264" right?

My boss convinced me to take the blame for his mistake, saying that he'd protect me from any fallout, but I got fired as a result and he didn't do anything to try to stop it. Do I have any recourse now? Or am I fucked since I went on record admitting responsibility and it wouldn't do any good to go back and say he put me up to it?

Good to hear thanks for the answer. I use TorGuard and theyre supposed to be pretty decent about protecting users. My friends are retarded and download public torrents with no protection but like I said I have a great deal on a business plan (in my home) and don't want to jeopardize it.

When you wake up after being operated on, wondering what ticking time bomb is in your chest waiting to go off. You'll recover fully from your heart surgery.

Does it matter to you if it comes out as MKV? Cause mkvtools can join them in one file if that's what you're trying to do.

A header file that I'm using contains a #import for another header file, ScriptingBridge.h. Where can I find this file on my system, so that I can look at it? A computer search turns up nothing, even with all of the options to see hidden and system files on.

I am locked out of my computer after stupidly disabling USB Legacy. I rely on an external keyboard (internal replacement coming, not sure when.)
I'm at an RTC power low, press F2 screen after a CMOS jump. From prior instances I know pressing f2 takes me to BIOS.

Since I can't get past this screen, I'm wondering if either of these two options are feasible:
Resetting NVRAM BIOS variables manually via hardware (booting without hdd for example, or jumping something on my mobo.)

Or

Making a flash drive to flash UEFI/BIOS that will automatically override the RTC screen. I am set up to boot from USB before hdd, but neither liveUSB's that I have overruled this screen. I don't have any experience with flashing BIOS so I'm not sure what to do in this situation. Of course I've found plenty of resources to hold my hand through making a flasher USB, but nothing that speaks to my situation. I made a stick earlier that turned the firmware update exe into a tmp file via Rufus. It didn't do anything, but that's definitely user error.

I take it i'd be using the 1.6 flasher under BIOS on this page (I used 1.8 earlier), what's the process for making it into a USB stick that my computer goes to before this RTC screen? Is that even feasible?

The RTC battery low error comes before it's even trying to find an OS. It's not a configuration error, resetting CMOS won't do anything.

Only real solution is either replace the battery so it stops complaining, or replace the keyboard so you can ignore the complaint.

Thanks.
Given that 1.0 x4 is a sixteenth of 3.0 x16 and the 680 only loses 20%, when TB3 is only an eighth and the 980ti loses 30-40%, it seems to be less efficient than I imagined.

Guess that answers my questions then. I won't make TB3 a crucial factor for my laptop.

So I got a Christmas bonus that I was not remotely expecting, and decided that using it to purchase a monitor would be a good plan. Currently I've just got an AOC I bought about 3 years ago; it's fine, but nothing fancy.

Should I get a similarly-sized monitor to go dual with, or put my money into a nicer monitor and worry about going dual with THAT one later? This one is a 60hz 1080p, but I was thinking of getting something nicer.

>>58099993
I use two monitors. It's okay, can't really find a practical use, I think I'd rather a 1440p for dat resolution than this setup

>>58099874
Actually scratch that, the Akitio Thunder 2 is only on TB2.

>>58100034
Quite honestly the biggest 'practical use' would be to replace a TV. I -have- a 42 inch LG in the room where my rig is, but it's off to the side, and I wear headphones. I was thinking of getting a second monitor so I could put things on to half-watch and half-listen to when I'm farming on WoW, for example.

Also, I'm not 100% sure the rig I have can currently output 1440p at great framerates; is picking up a 1440p for when I upgrade my CPU worth it? (My GPU isn't terrible, but it's not fantastic, and my CPU is currently my bottleneck)

I really don't know if this is that stupid or anywhere else to post this question so i'm going to ask here if you guys don't mind. I just bought a new video card (Gigabyte G1 RX 480 8GB) and installed it into my computer when I got home. The problem is that when I turn my computer on no video gets displayed. I uninstalled older drivers beforehand and manually installed the proper drive drivers just incase. I took the card out and loaded into bios and disabled Intel HD graphics and enabled auto PCI configuration and tried turning down my resolution to the minimum. It still didn't display anything and now Intel wouldn't display. I installed my older HD 3850 and it worked immediately and I re enabled intel. I tried disabling the display drivers and rebooting into safe mode with specific configurations like shutdown, installing the card and starting into safe mode still not to see a single thing. And I've tried mixing up the video cables connected to my monitor and tv to different outputs and different combinations of the motherboard, gpu and both. At this point is it just the cards issue? The HD 3850 worked immediately and my sound card worked in the PCI slot. My thought now is that the display ports was never connected to the board when produced and the card is broken. Is there anything else I can try at this point or is it a total bust? By the card gets power, the fans spin and the lights on the backplate light up so the card is definitely doing something. I'm using Windows 7 HPSP1, a Gigabyte motherboard and a Intel cpu if it helps.

plexmediaserver

My computer reboots when playing Shadow Warrior 2, temperatures of the CPU and GPU are normal when under load. No BSOD.

It's weird because the memecard I'm using could handle Doom 2016 just fine, also MGSV without a single one of those reboots. I guess SW2 is more demanding or something? What could be going wrong?

>>58100452

Also if this would help it's a modular psu. I'm using the cords that are connected to the psu that can't be taken out as power for the gpu. Should I connect a separate power cable?

>>58100544
so wattage doesnt seem to be an issue,i know it sounds dumb but make sure the cables in the video card and power supply are in all the way and not plugged in upside down

>>58100567
Even if it's upside down would the card still turn on?

>>58100567
Everything seems to be connected properly and the card is definitely getting power, it's lighting up and the fans are spinning. And the computer is making the single beep noise signaling it has detected a video unit. I honestly think the displayport just doesn't work.

>>58100592
i mean if you jammed it in somehow possibly

I'm having this issue where sometimes programs just freeze up and crash (???.exe has stopped working) eventually explorer.exe stops working and I'm forced to restart.

It's not a typical freeze where I can't move my mouse around. It's more like a horror movie where things start to get slowly worse, as in I can still use some programs. Anyone know how to approach this? Tried googling, didn't help

>>58100406
Just because the fan spins up doesn't mean your power connections are done right. The card will get ~75W or something from the PCIe slot regardless.

Sounds like it could be a defective card. Maybe try it in another PC.

>>58100651
then try and hook it up through hdmi or dvi

>>58100704

Ever since I updated the drivers for my gtx 960 my computer boots to a black screen (Win7 64bit). I rolled back multiple times but the problem persists. The last rollback I did was to v360.00, which is what I've read other people do on tech support sites.I can boot my computer into safemode but I can't do a regular boot without getting black screened.

also this is a problem that started about 6 months ago, but it's only recently I've had time to sit down and look at it.

Since you're not getting a BSOD this is likely a hardware issue. The most likely culprits are PSU and RAM assuming your temps are OK.

If you have a replacement PSU, I would test that - otherwise testing the PSU for failures will be difficult. If you have multiple RAM sticks try booting with just 1 and see if you can still reproduce the issue.

anyone have experience overclocking 8 core AMD FX processors? ive got an FX-8350 @4.5ghz on air cooling(evo 212). noticable speed increase and im really happy with it, especially the temperatures which are not that much higher, even under load. stable so far as well.
how far can one push an OC on air cooler, specifically my cooler or another? what could you generally expect to get with a $100ish water cooler in terms of overclocking? would 5ghz be an attainable goal?
one more question, is the cpu fan specifically responsible for keeping the socket cool or are there other factors in socket temperature? are there any things i can do besides buy a better cpu cooler to get socket temperatures down? i clean it about once every two weeks with compressed air cans. the temperature right now hover from 30-38c(which is not too high right?) so im not worried about it, just wondering for the future incase i decide to push the oc further.

Google is no help. The folder where the majority of my stuff is is already indexed and restarting changed nothing. I only ever use Windows Search when I want to find something in the clutter so God knows when this happened. Anyone have any solutions?

In java, how do I use the return statement/values from one method and use them in another method?

I haven't been able to figure that out so what I've been doing is setting a variable equal to a method in main (for example, "double kek = fuck()") and then using the variable (in this case kek) in the method I need the return values in. I know this must be terrible to do, so I'm hoping someone could give me some sort of explanation.

>>58105056
No anon, that's what you want to do. Unless you're only using the return value once, in which case you can just use the function directly where you need its value.

>>58105056

public long add(int a, int b) {
    return sum(a, b);
}

public long sum(int a, int b) {
    return a + b;
}

>>58105150
>>58105156
thanks you guys!

>>58105156
So from this example, in "add(int a, int b)" would there be a way to use the result of sum aside from returning it?

so for example, if I wanted to multiply the result of sum by 5 would I just do something like "double whatever = sum(a,b) * 5" ??

>>58105208
yes, as what >>58105150 said;

you can even do

double whatever = sum(a, b) + sum(10, 10);

thanks, I should definitely do that. but real quick if you're willing to answer it, whats the best way to output a method in main?

so for example doing:

 System.out.println(add(a,b));

doesn't work because variables a and b don't exist in main, however I am assuming that it is bad practice if I were to declare those in main so whats the best way to go about this?

This question along with the one i asked previously I was wondering the whole fugging course.

>best way to output a method in main?
I don't get this.

Though I think what you mean is this..
main is declared like this in Java:

public static void main(String[] args)

that

String[] args

is an array that contains the parameters when you launch your Java program.

so for example:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    int a = args[0];
    int b = args[1];
    System.out.println(add(a, b));
}

you run your Java program like this:

java MyClass 100 200

also, learn to code tags. read the sticky >>51971506

My USB ports on my PChave stopped working and I don't know why. For example I plug in my 360 controller and it lights up for a second and then turns off and I can't charge anything with it. There are 4 of them on the front of my PC and they all don't work. Are they just dead forever?

>>58105331
yeah thats exactly what I was talking about

although if I do that I get an error because java.lang.string cant be converted to int

>>58105379
Integer.parseInt(yourString);

>>58105389
the error shows up with

int a = args[0];

>>58105420
yes. you solve it by

String firstParameter = args[0];
int a = Integer.parseInt(firstParameter);

That

Integer

class have static methods in it that can help your with basic integer operations like converting to string, to binary, etc.
same goes for the Double, Byte, etc classes (primitive)

I have 2 Rails applications that are being each tested separetely, using Rspec.

Now I'm developing a functionality on App2 that should change App1's DB, how am I supposed to test this?
App2 is creating a worker on Sidekiq that does this job on background, and I lose all ties to the worker.

I suppose I would need to keep App1 open while testing App2. It doesn't matter to me, but it feels clunky and wrong.

Maybe I should just check format of the sent requests to App1 on App2.
And the format of the received requests on App1. Would still need to catch these requests made by the Sidekiq worker somehow. Also, the worker can take up to 30 seconds to start running...

>how am I supposed to test this?

>>58105450
ok so now if I were to do something like

public static void main(String[] args) {
  String firstParameter = args[0];
  int a = Integer.parseInt(firstParameter);
  String secondParameter =  args[1];
  int b = Integer.parseInt(secondParameter);
  System.out.println(add(a,b));
 }
  public static long add(int a, int b) {
    
   long whatever = sum(a, b) + sum(10, 10);
   return whatever;
}

  public static long sum(int a, int b) {
    return a + b;
}
}

I get an array out of bounds exception for [0]

>>58105524
how did you run your program?

>>58105331
>you run your Java program like this:
>java MyClass 100 200

>>58105534
yeah i wasn't sure what you meant by running it with that, where would I put that in the program?

>>58105550
how do you compile and run your program? are you using an IDE (eclipse)

>>58105558
well I'm using Dr. Java and yeah basically all you do is click compile then run

>>58105569
well, shit.
you really need to learn the basics first before letting the IDE do the work for you.
