what are the cheapest gpus that can run four monitors simultaneously?

>>58290043
Even the cheapest cards can handle 4 monitors.

Monitor/GPU won't recognize Display Port cable.
Already updated drivers for both.
Already plugged and unplugged.
wat do

whats a good place to see comparison benchmarks for different nvidai drivers on different cards? for exapmle how new drivers affect realtively old card in performance and stutter

>>58290014
Is it just me, or is the flatpak nightly-graphics repo offline?

I currently do not have access to a VPN. Am I going to get fucked if I try to download that programming books pack off of TPB?

>>58290161

>>58290164
I live in the US of A. I guess I should have posted that.

Ive got a weird problem with mounted usb drives on my arch installation.
I mounted my usb drive with the following command;
sudo mount -o gid=users,fmask=113,dmask=002,rw /dev/sdb1 /media/flashdrive
I can edit and save files fine, but I cannot create new files or delete existing files.
I have permissions drwxrwxr-x in the mount location, I also chown'ed and chmod 777 the same location.

>>58290057
give me an example, i'm not familiar with gpus since i do not game. i have a 560 i think. my motherboard doesn't allow for on board video either.

>>58290210
it's about the connectors on the back of the card more than the gpu

>>58290233
so having four connectors. vga, dvi(2) and hdmi

i would a assume you need a lot of vram. like i said i won't be gaming but four screens is a lot. on 1gb, even if they're just excel spreadsheets

>>58290274
a gtx560 should be enough to drive 4 monitors for regular stuff at 1080p

What PSU do I need to overclock my cpu? Currently have a 430w

Running an i5-2500k(3.3) and an Rx 480

I'm sure I'm not crazy but google and shitty tech help forums are making me feel like it.
My desktop has been doing this weird shit where if I click an icon then try to select a few icons directly below it, it will select every fucking icons to the right of the first icon (horizontally) down to the icons below.
All these fucking forums are saying windows has always done this which is a lie or they try to be cheeky and suggest dragging the mouse to select.
Along with this issue when I save things to the desktop they will alternate to the top left or to the bottom right of the icons.
Please help me fix this.

>>58290304
You don't need a better higher wattage PSU to overclock your CPU.

Is there any way to make the IP differ from the host on an Windows VM? Virtaulbox

Looking to upgrade my gpu since my hd6970 went bad, thinking of either gtx1060 6gb or rx480 8gb. Will mostly be playing Arma 3, maybe from time to time a newer AAA release, but don't need this to run perfectly on ultra settings.

Which of these cards are best for Arma, and can it run three monitors decently, as decently as Arma 3 will ever run?

Cpu is 2500k, not sure if this is a bottleneck?

>>58290342
change the network to bridged.

>>58290306
Always been like this. Use ctrl and select icons.

>>58290295
Thing is I have the card but it only has three ports and only drives two screens. My question is what card is the cheapest where I can run 4 screens at the same time.

Maybe I wasn't clear before.

>>58290377
Chose Bridge Adapter and cable connected, otherwise it wont connect. Still get the same public IP?

>>58290416
No it wasn't and Bearstein Bears were always Bearstein.

>>58290467
kek

>>58290461
did you restart the VM? it's using his own adapter now. having the same IP would result in a conflict.

Do "black box" game repacks work from a USB drive?

>>58290483
Just restarted and its giving me the same IP. However it changed to network to network2 with the birdged network setting

Can I lay my desktop case on its side? My GPU and hyper 212 are sagging due to weight.

Or is this sagging not a problem? I have tried tightening all the screws and it does nothing.

>>58290549
then you already have a different IP than the host. it's not possible to have the same using bridged networking.
are you using dhcp to get the ips?

>>58290668
Yes. But if you have hard disks then don't flip it while it's running.

A website loads something.js
How can I replace parts of that code in my browser in real time?
I know I can use an extension like FoxReplace, but I think it will only replace JS that is in <script></script> in the HTML. This one does <script src="something.js"> though.

>>58290306
Windows has literally always done this.
When you press Shift+mouse to select multiple files, it'll select everything between what you selected first and the second file you click on. When you press Ctrl+mouse, it only selects what you click on.

>>58290743
depending on how something.js executes you can override it's properties.
in some cases you can't, but again it depends on how the script works.

so basically, you can't replace parts of it, only the entire thing if you can inject JS before something.js gets included.

>>58290819
I just had the idea to replace the source URL with my own modified version. Will report back whether it works.

>>58291189
It will just upscale them

>>58291199
I know. But will quality noticeably degrade from 720p -> 1440p

>>58291173
Yeah, if you're using one of the listed icon/file views instead of the grid of icons in explorer.

Shift+click selects a range of files, e.g. 1 -> 10. If these are arranged on a grid, then it selects them on a grid going either left or right because that's the order the files are in. It has done this forever.

I just assembled a computer and used the pre-applied thermal paste. This was a mistake as my CPU is overheating at 94+ degrees. Is it safe to wait a couple days for the thermal paste I ordered just now or should I turn off the computer?

>>58291558

i make homemade porn movies and i'm trying to head in a pro-level quality

>>58291568
even with the pre-applied paste it shouldn't get this high.
if these are idle temps I definitely wouldn't let it run at all.

>>58291568
Turn it off.
Your CPU should automatically turn off at 92°C.

What are you using to check the temperatures?
Are you using an AMD APU?

Would it be fine to update to the latest mobo firmware on windows 10? It's a P8Z68-V

>>58291595

BIOS is 100c standard for decades

>>58291233
If I have three icons on my desktop that I want to select and they are all over one another vertically.
It has always been possible to click that first one, hold shift, then click the third one and all three would be selected. Top to bottom, up and down.
Windows has never gone from left to right when selecting this way.

>>58291644
Rule of thumb when it comes to motherboard firmware.
If its not broken dont fix it.

Why do you want to update them?

>>58291662

The 2 front USB on my case don't work. when I overclocked my 2500k I'd get a problem where my PC would constantly turn off and on before even reaching the boot screen

>>58291659
Sorry, you're wrong.

>>58291685
Very unlikely that that has anything to do with the firmware. Might be your power supply isn't enough

>>58291685
Sounds like a hardware failure rather than a firmware problem.
Voltage problems maybe?

Any of you chinks use Musicbee? Do you guys enjoy it?

>>58291659
it always was like this.
maybe you're thinking of ctrl-clicking.

the power was disconnected in my house earlier so the electrical could be worked on, when the power came back I turned my PC on and now my keyboard doesn't work via the PS/2 connection, when I plug in the same keyboard through USB it works. Why? the PC wasn't even on when the power was cut.

When I'm viewing a video on YouTube and decide to skip ahead on the video, there's a random chance the video will freeze along with my entire browser.
During this, a single Chrome process task will consume a high amount of CPU usage. The overall issue is simply resolved by ending said process task.

However, I have absolutely no fucking idea why this issue occurs in the first place, nor can I find any sort of solution.
The only extension I have is 'uBlock Origin' and I've tried resetting the settings within Chrome, yet to no avail.

>>58291595
>>58291645
max temperature is in the CPU, not the bios.
once tjmax is reached it'll fire a THERMTRIP signal to turn everything off.

>>58291723
>>58291714

I'll probably just hold off on mobo update until I buy a better PSU and see if that fixes overclock issues. Have a corsair cx430 I think

>>58291788
For how much are you overclocking it?

>>58291784
Which CPU are you using?
Is your HSF even working?

>>58291359
No fan of them, dunno why.

>>58291450
So do I, I'll see if they're something for me, thanks!

Ryzen SR5 isn't gonna be cheaper than an i5, is it? I'm worried they are only going to undercut the i7 and leave me hanging so I might as well just go pick up an i5 now.

>>58291799

I just used an auto setting on my asus mobo. I'm gonna try overclocking again today If I can figure it out

>>58291890
Dunno.

>>58291890
Who knows, motherboards sure wont be cheaper than Z170 motherboards for sure.

>>58291949
I'm too poor for a Z170 so i'm looking at the 6500 anyways.

I need a mixer to basically merge two stereo audio channels into one. The device should ideally also support xlr mics, as I plan on purchasing one down the road. I'd just buy any medium-range mixer but it feels like casting pearls because I don't want to mix 20 channels and don't need any of that filter bullshit. I just want to merge my audio (preferably with good quality) and maybe power one mic. What's /g/'s recommendation that's not a huge-ass 20 channel mixer?

>>58291659
That's because you only have vertical arranged icons in that example, you retard!

Hello /sgt/
I noticed that my FB suggests me friends with extreme accuracy, even from people I never talked to on FB, but whose numbers I have on my cell phone, where I have FB app installed

My question is:

Is FB app datamining my phonebook and then suggesting me friends by phone numbers?

>>58292498
>Is FB app datamining my phonebook and then suggesting me friends by phone numbers?
Yes.

Still it does based in where you live and if some of your friends are friends of them too.

>>58292491
So it's just luck basically. great.
Is this the only option I have?

>>58292498
yes, you agreed to that when it showed you the required permissions when installing the app.

>>58292402
Why crack their trip when you can just show the world their posting history? If it's bad enough, the public will do the rest to try to drive them out.

>>58292709
Well, of course. I am a large dude and a chair without arm rests is like going to work without pants.

I am trying to find a comfortable chair for myself (6'3, 300 lb), but I'm not sure if I should go mesh back or normal. I'm afraid of the mesh ripping. I also have pets that jump up to me so I don't want the dog or cat accidentally throwing their paw at it, but they are so goddamn comfortable. I've just never owned one so I don't know how sturdy the mesh is.

Current chair is all kinds of fucked up.

>>58292758
I will check.

>>58292722
you get an exact match with

/^!Tripcode$/

remove the $ and it'll only match from the start, so !TripcodeAbc would match too.

>^!
means anything that starts with ! gets filtered.

The mesh is resistant, but after many cat scratches it starts looking like shit. But what's the difference? Cats scratch leather too.
Now you mention you're a 4U, I think it's useless to waste time asking here. Getting replies while asking for normal chairs is difficult already. You should start visiting furniture stores. And also be ready to spend some good cash.

>>58292789
I've seen some people try and use it on their laptops, and it gets some mad lag. Maybe because their laptop was shitty, but I'm not sure.
Also I think you need the phone to sync some shit every now and then with the program. Having more discipline would be more productive.

plug the first in with HDMI
the second with a HDMI -> DVI Converter cable
for the third monitor:
if the GPU has dual-mode displayport you can use a passive HDMI -> DisplayPort converter cable
if it does not then you need an active converter.

I don't know which brand you got, but the sapphire one mentioned DP+ in its manual, which I guess means it has dual mode.

Alright /g/, I distinctly remember asking this question a while back, and was directed to use something KMS Activator, but apparently my Win 8.1 needs to be 'authenticated' now, so I'd appreciate it if someone could share the link to the forum (I think it was) that hosted it. I would use archive, but there's too many things to wade through, and google doesn't bring up what I need outside of dubious malware, so a helping hand would be great.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-250 running Lubuntu atm, though it's pretty sluggish, would upgrading the 512mb of ram help out much?
Also will all the ram from alie work? Does ramspeed matter?

I tried Google, but I couldn't find anything for this specific model.

Any help is appreciated.

No, you were clear. The answer is still the same: any adapter will do. But you may want to consider finding monitors that support daisy-chaining via DP instead. Then you can buy a cheap GPU, or keep your current one, without having to worry about ports.

It'll damage your battery in the long run, but it takes years. And your battery might run out faster. Any damage caused to internal components will be caused by the battery overheating/leaking and not by the charger. But again, it takes a quite long time. Jew it out if you want.

I'd backup your data now and prepare for imminent failure. 1) because you're getting multiple errors and 2) because that drive is one of the worst prone to failure drives on the market

I'm undervolting to stop throttling and help a bit with battery life. The computer is fanless.

also I think you got sleep and hibernation mixed up. Sleep mode saves your stuff into RAM and not onto the drive.

Even numbered storage capacity drives from the main brands seem to do alright. HGST has pretty low failure rates, but WD and Seagate (not 3tb drives) do OK too.

Why not just use a web interface. Talk about cross platform. An HTML+CSS+JS frontend will run on just about every device on Earth.

>>58296235
I know the diff between sleep and hibernation. My point was why bother with any of it when you have fast boot and shut down times with an ssd?

>>58296272
In my experience waking up from sleep mode is faster than a cold boot on SSD, but mileage may vary.

>>58296235
>I'm undervolting to stop throttling and help a bit with battery life.
Its a Atom (intel M series to be exact) its already undervolted, a power saving CPU.

my acer laptop doesn't have drivers, except for pnp.

pic related is close to what i'm seeing since i can't actually post a screenshot.

Had a successful dual boot of linux, with windows for gaming only. I then broke my Linux OS, and in reinstalling it, messed up the bootloader for Windows 8.1.

I tried doing everything I could last night. I had an installation media that would only boot in CSM mode (my computer is UEFI based; Windows 8.1 was natively installed as UEFI) and as such, I couldn't the BCD related programs to repair the bootloader. Bootrepair detected the bootloader and added it Grub but it just went straight to grub. Booting in UEFI took me to a BSOD because BCD was missing. Using CSM boot, I could access the installation media, but not go anywhere: it was not able to repair my computer, I could not install, reinstall or refresh. All of the BCD related commands would work until the final one, wherein it would say system could not be found.

After spending many many hours attemping to salvage the NTFS partition that had all my downloaded games and my delightfully hand-stripped version of windows, I decided to nuke the thing and totally wrote over the drive with a fresh linux install. I recreated a new installation media for Windows.

Same issue, Boot Configuration Data is missing. Now I can't even boot into Windows using CSM.

I just flashed my BIOS via CD, but it did not help. I only want Windows for gaming; WINE has never worked for me and a VM won't work. What do?

besides pay toshiba to continue their farce of a tech support.
also, in case it's not clear:

When I was able to access the Windows installation I could make my way to the command prompt. I can't from this window. My only option is to go back to BIOS.

I just got a free phone that can take up to 256GB cards

>>58296921
Also could you tell me which acer laptop are you using exactly?

>>58296969
also since Im sure you keep the music on your computer, simply buy a /csg/ sd card and copy paste your music onto it every so often, leave the original on you computer still, and when the card fails you didnt loose anything.. well unless you were stupid enough to save phone docs to the sd card.

its a 4$ a month difference for the 32gb and 128gb

My phone (Nexus 5x) is having problems staying connected to my Wifi router. It may be caused by the fact that I've added a second router as a repeater. Intermittently, the connection strength icon gets a little 'x' over it, then the connection icon disconnects entirely, then it reappears after reconnecting.

How can I go about debugging this? Is there some facility for viewing network events logged on the phone?

Any idea why I can't play .webm files with Firefox anymore?
I'm running the version that came with CB++ and it just suddenly stopped working.

Could I theoretically make my torrent seem popular on e.g. The Pirate Bay by seeding it from many different connections that go through the Tor network? Would it work in practice?

I have a 2 TB external drive (WD passport) that works fine, but it's never visible to my computer (running windows 7) except in the disk manager utility. So then I can assign it a drive letter and suddenly it's visible and everything works fine. It's not a big deal, the process just gets tedious every time I want to take the drive out and put it back in. Does anyone know how to fix this permanently?

thats the weirdest shit Ive heard

Should I put my IDEs on my new ssd? I came from a 5400rpm hdd.

Anyone have a reliable place where I can download windows 7 drivers for my t420 Thinkpad? It's been driving me nuts not being able to find one. Thanks. 64 bit system btw.

>>58298039
Man, googling t420 thinkpad drivers was sure hard

>>58297224
Yes, it'll work. Still makes you an asshole.

>>58298237
I back up my most important files by encrypting and burying them within game files I share on the bay. It's the whole working game, just with a little extra junk data.

>>58296881
If it's a stuck bearing, maybe. Only try as a last resort and if it works, get all the data off the drive as quick as possible.

>>58296842
Lots of different ways you can get the data back to the PC. You could stick a full computer in there to use it as a NAS over SMB/NFS/etc, you could use it as a SAN over iSCSI. Or if you don't want a computer in there, you can use eSATA with a port multiplier, which can also be converted into USB 3.0 if that's what you'd prefer. Or you can just run a bunch of SATA cables if it's close by.

Making UEFI compatible install media is easy, format the flash drive as FAT32, drag and drop everything from in your Windows .iso onto the drive (assuming you're using win8/8.1/10, 7 is trickier since the .iso doesn't include the UEFI bootloader by default.)

When you've got the installer running, shift+F10 to bring up a command prompt, then diskpart, list vol, select vol n -- n being the number of your EFI partition, assign letter s, exit. Then go to S:, nuke your EFI\Microsoft folder.

If the Toshiba UEFI is ever being an ass and not finding the UEFI file you want, make another flash drive with rEFInd or an EFI shell.

Adds the track/album to the current queue so they'll play after whatever's currently queued.

Use whatever software came with the tuner. There is no standard software interface for FM tuners in Windows, so you kinda have to use whatever they gave you unless it's one of the few cards that amateur radio nerds figured how to make into a generic SDR.

Is Haka the best maker of steel gem plugs?

Why would you put important software on your SSD? That makes no sense.

>>58298264
That seems like a very inconvenient and unreliable method.

>>58298541
It's not the only backup, just something extra, for free.

i need a new router. i have a wrt54gl i purchased a decade ago and have run tomato/ddwrt over the years. its time for a new one, its showing its age. what is the modern equivalent of this router? is there a more modern version i can get and flash to get more control over?

>>58298557
Get a wired one this time. Wifi causes cancer, especially the newer protocols with more harmful bandwidth.

>>58298557
Asus RT-AC66U with shibby tomato

>>58298585
i run wired everything i can. i hate batteries, charging. but its just part of it - now your tv connects to the internet, you might have an extra phone or tablet. where i had 4 devices on wireless before, now i've got a dozen and i can't do wired for all of them. its starting to strangle the router a bit when a lot of people are on at the same time.

>>58298589
is that a fork? i run tomato currently even though ddwrt is more recommended, its been rock solid.

>>58298649
Its a continuation of the TomatoUSB fork

How can I connect a external USB HDD directly to a Virtualbox VM without the host seeing it?

Why are so many torrents still done in x264 instead of x265?
Can't guy achieve better quality with less bitrate

>>58298991
264 is hardwired into many devices, so it's way more efficient to play back.

>>58298673
Does Shibby support gigabit speeds yet?

I have Google Fiber, so I had to switch to Asus-Merlin, as Shibby would only do 200 Mbps

>>58298991
x264 has much wider support and less hardware requirements
I've also heard that x265 doesn't do as good of job with fine details at higher bitrates

question on ipv6 and the prefixes

I'm having trouble understanding what the router delegated prefix quite means. If an IPv6 begins with that prefix, does it mean it went through that router?
