What would be the minimum CPU+memory combo to use Illustrator, Photoshop and some video editing software smoothly? Does the graphics card matter in this case?

>>58210452
Gedit.

>>58210470
There's a list of functions that have gpu acceleration somewhere, but in general the CPU is more important
RAM depends on the size of the files you're working with

>>58210452
which OS?
Notepad2-mod for windows.

What's a FAT32 partition and NTFS?

>>58210470
GPU mostly matters for video software. Others like photoshop use CPU more. Get a CpU that has good single core performance, most likely intel i5 6500 or better. Also get 16 or more gb of ram if you want to use photoshop efficiently.

>>58210497
Both are file systems.

Is hardware decoding on Android even a thing?

>>58210497

FAT32 is widely supported by is limited to max of 4GB file size
NTFS has limited support on OSes other than windows

Bad compression per frame. Don't know any tools to compress it. But just google for gif compressor.

>>58210532
A lot of people sound happy with their rasberry pi media centers and there's a shitload if guides for them.

>>58210547

Thank you. So a FAT32 partition just makes a copy of this and saves it?

>>58210563
A copy? No, it's where the file is.
It's a file system. It stores files.
Like you copy a file to your usb-drive, a filesystem takes care that everyone knows where it is and what it's name is.

>>58210552
Thanks. Online gif compressors are all making it look even shittier than it already looks. Any way to compress it and keep the quality how it is?

Just how much worse is a TN monitor color-wise than an IPS one?
I'm looking for a budget 144hz 1080p screen but it seems I'm going to have to sacrifice nice colors for frames if I do that.

Also, I'm upgrading to a 1070 so I also am wondering if I'm going to suffer without gsync.
I was looking at the ViewSonic XG2401 since people said it has a better color profile, but the mediocre reviews here and there are starting to turn me off from it.
Is ASUS just the better option for 1080p 144hz overall?

>>58210909

Is your question why everything is slow as fuck? For me - it isn't. Can you concertize what is slow? Do you have 9k programs and tabs open or what? For office and lurking should it be fast enough.
SSDs get slow when they are nearly filled. Is it that?
(Using your favorite Linux distro would speed your system up. Maybe you think about dual booting? Also you may ask /tpg/ for advise.)

I can't describe it any other way except saying that everything's slow, the stuff I expect to be (Adobe programs), and the stuff I don't (navigating the OS in general, every web browser, basic media programs etc). Everything takes at least 4-5 seconds to execute which just demotivates me from using it at all. Compared to my desktop where everything basically flies smooth as butter.

Don't know desu. Either you try reinstalling your system and look if it's getting better or you install Linux or you buy a new computer. How many programs auto starts on your system? What do you mostly use? A reinstall often helps.
Better you ask /tpg/, I'm no expert.

Hello.

I've bought a new computer mouse because my old one died.

I decided to go for the "Razer Deathadder 2013", because it fits my hands better than other mice I found in my local store and it was on the /g/ mice chart.

Now I wonder, do I need to keep this Razer Synapse software thing running for the mouse to function properly?

is it normal that youtube has a slight delay after I play the video for a bit, pause, come back after some time and hit play again? I can't find anything on this on the web? is this some power-saving thing? I'm on a laptop with KBL i5 7200u (maybe because it's a "u"?) so youtube shouldn't really be a problem.

also, youtube feels very stuttery for some reason. it's not the buffer, the video is just chunky and drops frames a little bit too often. it worked way better on my old lappy with i5 3210m. does the power setting matter? I always have power plugged in, I never use it on the battery but I do have the power setting set to "ballanced".

can I manually block ads in my home router if I don't want ads while watching on my phone?

Yes unless they're advertised as "barebones".

Why do some ISPs not allow customers to use their own routers?

chrome is freezing the system and hanging up with no errors -- including inability to bring up task manager, hard reset is the only option.
With most downloads (large or small, .jpeg, videos or programs, 90-95% of the time, first I thought it was something related to saving to a big reaction imgs folders I have, but even on newly created and empty folders the issue remains, sometimes, renaming the save file helps in preventing it, but not guaranteed, almost sure to crash if saving directly to the last saved folder (auto defaulted) and no renaming.

workarounds that I got from skimming google forums, redefine default config, create a new a user, disable hardware accel., clear cookies, delete user data/profile (appdata/local/chrome)... none is guaranteed to work. I believe that redefining the default config at the tools menu is the solution that seems to mitigate the problem most of the time...

>>58214824
for better clarity: chrome freezes and the system hangs after saving any kind of download, anywhere and a hard reset is the only way around it. The file always saves succesfuly at the correct location with no corruption after I check it after the reboot.

>>58214842
scene releases are split into smaller parts.
So whoever made the torrent just made another rar out of them so you can have the "untouched" source rars.

Is the Rosewill Valens series of PSU any good? I'm sketched out by the lack of reviews and only 1 year parts warranty. I'd only be doing this to get a dank case for the same cost as a lower tier case and separate PSU.

So, I got a PS4 for Christmas, along with the goofy little bluetooth dongle to use the controller with my PC.

The problem is I cannot get the motherfucker to work. Everything I can find online says I just plug in the dongle, then hold Share+PS button on the controller for 3 seconds, and it should flash until it connects, then the lightbar should go solid. But it doesn't do that- it just flashes for about a minute, then stops. It doesn't light up, and I have no idea how to check and see if my computer is actually 'detecting' the piece of shit.

Any suggestions? Worst case scenario I can just plug it directly in via USB, but I was looking forward to being able to use this stupid thing without wires.

My computer works fine with no graphics card but does not post with my graphics card is installed. I also tried changing the main source of video to PCIE but my BIOS just reverts back to "Auto" when it restarts.

Uuugh. I got that to work- apparently I had to push the fucking USB dongle in and hold it for 3 seconds to hit some hidden button to switch it to 'synch mode'.

I've gotten the controller to 'work', in the sense that the computer detects it and I can use it to control Steam's Big Picture mode, but I guess I'm gonna have to install that "trick my computer into thinking it's an XBOX" thing after all because it works with -zero- games.

How would you go about preventing overheating?
My old laptop has been turning itself off for, presumably, overheating. What could be done to prevent this?

>>58217205
try to clean the fans. buy some of those laptop platforms with fans on the bottom

>>58217205
Get that dust out of there first and foremost.

If problems persist, keep that bottom exposed and blast with fans. I'd also look into replacing thermal paste if its really bad.

That's my point. If it supports FLAC, I don't have to transcode to other formats.

Why isnt dual CPUs a thing when there are builds with 2-4 GPUs?

>>58218344
the cpu is the hub of your pc, everything is designed to flow through it
you'd need new software and electronics for 2 or more

>>58218335
Because most people dont need a i7.

The main difference between a i5 and a i7 is that the i7 has Hyperthreading and the i5 dont.

Most people buy a CPU for games, which almost no game use hypertreading so a i5 is way better option.
Those $100 in difference could be used on other stuff like in the GPU.

>>58218344
They are a thing, I've got two dual CPU servers right next to me. They even make quad and octo-CPU motherboards

Unlike desktops you cant just make it work with windows 7.

If its new you probably will have use something like MSI Tools to add USB 3.0(AHCI) drivers to the windows 7 installer.

Everything else will work, worst case scenario is that the WLAN card will work in compatibility mode and give you one or two problems.

Yeah I'm surprised my computer hasn't blown up yet. I belong in this thread.

recently, I just tried to install a linux distro on top of my existing distro. I added the option to encrypt the whole drive. Due to an operator error the distro was not able to install.

Now when I try to re-install with this distro or another it says there is a partition or swap that cannot be read. I can go into GParted and its shows sd1, sd2(ext), and sd5 which has the error. I assuming this was the partition that was trying to encrypt. How do I unfix this?

>>58218987
Get rid of unneeded partitions and install

>>58218972

>>58218972

Plug into the PCI-E more firmly, ensure graphics card has power cables correctly installed. Updating BIOS is easy as fuck and you should do it anyway. You did good changing the default video source but it's actually totally unnecessary. Maybe disable the iGPU. enable XMP memory settings.

Check support information of both manufacturers..
>>58213192
No but a lot of PSU are garbage and their power output along various cables such as molex is limited due to engineering reasons. Check if your PSU has multiple rails and what the power output limitations are of different wires, that information will be on a sticker on the PSU. Underpowering your GPU will either cause poor performance or crashes in games or just a failure to boot. Usually not harmful.

>>58212834
It's fucking not inferior. The clue to why you think that is in the marketing and names. Your shitty consumerism culture sells any bullshit it can name-drop or any statistic is can technically latch onto. G-sync has a greedy investor, nvidia. free-sync is back by Intel and AMD at no cost so no marketing bullshit on their end, only from monitors that can support said tech. It is actually nice to have.But the monitor manufacturers are only thinking of sounding competitive for the idiots that obsessively buy any buzzwords they hear is important.

You have too much fucking money for someone who doesn't know shit and doesn't know how to research. You're being propaganda fed by consumerist marketers who can tell you to worry about a bunch of features that you have no concept of.
You probably want some nice TN 1 to 5 ms input time 1440p monitor with OK reviews and if you think you can't afford a g-sync monitor then you should probably get an AMD card because yes sync technologies are nice and noticeable, much more so than 144Hz. All monitors usually have problems with lighting or colour in varous ways and in various scenes, IPS and TN. Feel free to go for 144hz anyway if you can make it affordable. TN to IPS colour is barely noticable unless side-by-side for most dinguses and not important for your CS GO and ARMA

i am not very experienced with linux. i had a laptop that i hadn't had use for after building my desktop so i was using it to experiment with linux. i started with arch. used ubuntu for a bit, couldn't get debian or gentoo to work right and now i was back to arch. i had a pretty good setup going and was trying to get some gamepads to work to play steam games and i fucked with a folder i guess i shouldn't have. i was trying to add another .desktop file to /usr/share/xsessions/ whcih only had one file in it called xfce.desktop. i had to mess with the permissions in order to add to the folder which i may have done wrong. after i did this i tried to put the permissions back the way i found them but when i looked in the folder after, neither of the files were readable and it said they didn't exist when i clicked on them. i then rebooted and thats when xfce completely disappeared. it greets me with a login screen but doesn't have an option to load a gui. logging in with the default selected brings me right back to login. ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling xfce and its dependencies several times and still the /usr/share/xsessions/ folder is still empty and i don't know how to fix it. id appriciate if someone had any tips on how to fix my error.

and yes im aware that i am retarded

If the output voltage is the same or very close, and the connector fits, it will probably work. It helps to have enough amps too.

>Trying to install windows 7 from a USB onto a new H170 board.
been through the trouble of putting usb 3.0 drivers on the iso

But now that it's installed and at the final stage of finishing it hangs at "windows is starting"

What do? already set boot mode to legacy.

>>58221779
Don't install Windows 7 at the end of 2016.

I have no idea how to trouble shoot this
I've never had an issue before with ublock

>>58221761
the voltage has to be the same, the amps on a new charger has to be equal to or greater than the original

Does the U.S. produce enough nuts for its entire population to have a quarter cup each day? Could it?

>>58221788
They haven't released anything better.

Great and how much of an expert do I have to be to remove my hard drive and not fuck it up? I heard they're fragile

>I heard they're fragile
Only when running, since being jostled can cause the needle to scratch the disk.
Otherwise it'll be fine as long as you don't drop it.

I got an imac last year for Christmas, but I barely use it. The only thing I really like about is the pretty 4k resolution, but there aren't really any good programs to utilize it, and bootcamp gaming on it is ass...should I just sell it and use the money to build a more powerful PC with a 4k monitor?? Or should I just keep it and save up for a new PC later? I'm having abandonment issues with it.

just have to not be a total klutz

that is;
- don't touch the circuit board underneath with bare hands
- don't shake it
- don't drop it
- don't knock it
- store it somewhere dry and cool, ideally in an antistatic bag, do not place it on carpet, clothes, etc

>>58221893
sell it to some schmuck. It's only as useful as the programs it runs, unless you want to put windows on it.

>>58221904
note that "dry and cool" isn't that strict, just like, don't put it in a water heater cupboard, or a fridge/freezer

>>58221893
the best part of macs is they keep their value, i'd sell it and get something you want

>picked up a 2010 macbook because a friend was selling it pretty cheap at $300
>sold it a year later for $600

>>58221930
>>58221954
thanks, i think i'm gonna throw it on craiglist

>>58221893
If you think you'll be developing for Apple operating systems it may be worth keeping. Or you could just get a Mini when you need it. Or maybe you just want to use certain proprietary software and not deal with Microsoft's shenanigans?

>>58221893
if you don't like it sell it
macs sell really well, even old ass c2d shit from 2009 can pulls hundreds of dollars
you could low ball and walk away fast with a nice pc

>>58221985
he could build a pc with hackintosh support in mind, so he can keep dual booting with osx

>>58221985
don't suck some kid on /g/ into your gay apple cult
he wants to play video games and posts spongebob, let him flip him and walk away happy

>>58221891
honestly at this point ive put so much effort into this that i don't want to start over. it was such a pain in the ass to install

>>58222042
minimize the partition and come back to it if it's so precious
you could try friendly linux gen, but they have a hardon for harassing arch noobs in over their head

>>58222042
>sunk cost fallacy
Your effort doesn't mean you did anything. What you have there is no more useful than a default Ubuntu install, and will only consume more of your time if something breaks.

>git pull my dotfiles and copy over keys
>apt-get install whatever software I need right now

I bought my first webcam to do lewd gay sex shows.

Can it actually be remotely hacked? I've heard conflicting things but mainly I see you need to be phished or whatever, which I'm not worried about.

What the fuck happened to my SSD? It's only like a month or 2 old, only ever threw some games on it

>>58222146
Yes, but generally no.

Why can't I connect via ssh to my computer from work? It works from mobile internet, so it's not a problem with my network. I've tried different ports - 22, 80, 443 and other high ones to no avail.

>>58222174
A firewall at your workplace is blocking it?

>>58222174
idk anon, why can't you
firewall? correct? ip? does it even recognize you trying to connect and just -bfffts- on you?

>>58222146
Easily hacked, they're going to out you and find where you live.

lots of people buy IP cams, and just plug them in and port forward/use UPnP and touch nothing else, leaving it either wide open or with default authentication

>>58222196
>>58222214
But internet works so 80 or 443 should work? How else could it be blocked? The connection just times out.

>>58222280
The firewall is smart?

>>58222251
what. the. fuck.

>>58222280
they could be explicitly blocking your servers' IP
have you tried hosting a regular web server to see if that works?

>>58222093
i don't really need the computer for anything. im just goofin off. i was really just asking for a solution to the specific problem i had. i don't need to be told that there are easier distros. i know there are

What's a distro that's relatively secure and wont steal my data and get me fucked up online?

Using ubuntu gnome but being a derivative of the already questionable ubuntu, I already don't use my primary email addresses on them.

>>58222146
There was a cam site where I could view the cams even when they thought they weren't broadcasting
Not exactly the same thing since they had to be logged in and encoding video for it to start, but I could still view it even if they were 'on break' or offline on the site until they closed the encoder.

>>58222297
How to bypass it then?

>>58222303
I'll try that. Also when I type website.com:80 in browser it doesn't work but website.com works. Is whole http on another port on this network? Is that even possible?

is /sqt/ a part of the "no tech support" rule for /g/?

>>58222385
that rule doesn't exist since it is barely enforced
this is a community attempt to combat the issue
post whatever really
