Is it permanent?

Think I should post in /g/ too,
I've been researching for days about this shit, and I want to hear your input.
Essentially, I used to play on wired but now I cannot run a 50 foot ethernet cable upstairs to my PC/Consoles from my router for whatever reason. I've concluded that I can either go wifi or powerline. Well I have both setups, wireless (wireless-N router and some $30 USB card shit) and powerline (Netgear 1000Mbps in a >2005 house) and have been trying to see which gives the least amount of lag and jitter, but I can't get any accurate results(more worried about jitter than anything). I'm wondering if anyone here can chime on my problem, gaming wise? Which to be more reliable for gaming and downloading shit on.
If anything matters, I heavily play fighting games.

Is there any other way to update to Win7SP1 if you get manifest errors other than doing a custom reinstall? I've been trying for a day now.

Any anons got advice for how to do my internet to maximise connection over the whole house? I live in a 3 floor house.

Drilling holes isn't an option, are powerline adapters my next best bet then using a router? Any advice on ones to get?
I've got 2 ASUS RT-AC51U one for downstairs and I'll put another on the second floor.

If this isn't the best way I'd appreciate any responses on how to solve my internet problem.

If a PC is sheer ass, could running an older version of Windows (XP for example) improve performance for web browsing and light program usage?

Do I have to put my comcast cable modem (arris tg862g/ct) into bridge mode if I want to use my much better wireless router? What are the possible IP conflict issues will there be if I just plug the new router into an Ethernet port and shut off the wifi on the modem?

>>58450439
I think you have to manually download and install a particular KByaddayadd in order to fix the Windows Update program.

>>58452126
no, just disable wireless on the modem, then use the router to handle that role.

HGST or WD - but be aware that all HDD manefacturers have some amount of faulty devices. Make sure to properly test your disks before putting them into production with badblocks and multiple s.m.a.r.t long tests (plus conveyer test if it's supposed).

>>58453455

I recommeded an access point, not a router.
You can use kismet to do spectrum analysis so you can pick IEEE 802.11 if the 5GHz spectrum isn't as noisy as it is elsewhere and IEEE 1901 if it is.

I recomended an AP, not a router. What's commonly referred to as a router isn't one, it's a combination unit that contains a router, an access point, a switch, a modem and a firewall. If your ISP gives it to you, it's called CPE, but if you buy your own there isn't really a name for it.

Need a free antivirus for my sister, is avg serviceable?

>>58453763
>>58453775
Are you going to pay attention now then?

>>58453801
Antivirus software is basically almost 90% signature detection (i.e. we have a checksum of this malware, we've detected file on your system with this checksum) and some heuristics combined with access control (for example, irfanview shouldn't be able to load device drivers).

As long as you use Common Sense™ and Windows Defender which is in Windows already, you're pretty much as safe as you're ever gonna get.

>>58453720
I'll look into it. If all else fails I think this powerline thing is working better for me.

If you don't teach her, she's never gonna learn.

If you want to limit what can get installed on her computer, create a non-administrator account on her computer, set an admin password on other accounts and never tell her that.

The worst decision Microsoft ever made was to move away from limited-user acounts and letting users have admin access.

>>58453940
they still have limited user accounts by default.

Not on Home and Pro editions. SA account is completely disabled, and users are part of the Administrator group per default. UAC isn't a way to fix this.

I've been looking for a 200-250 euro laptop to use on the train and between classes. So portability and battery life are important. Nothing fancy, but I'd like to be able to use that time to actually do some office work and watch some movies or something.

Can you use grub2 in CSM/MBR mode to boot an EFI partition? Perhaps a chainload?

I have a fagbook pro trying to triple boot Linux and windows 10 also. I want Linux and windows 10 to stay in legacy MBR coz of driver issues but I want macOS to boot from EFI and keep one united bootloader.

rEFInd has 2 entries, both of which bring you to the same hybrid MBR grub menu. I figure if I cant EFI boot MBR, I'll MBR boot EFI.

Thoughts?

>>58454461
File permissions are gonna fuck you over. Boot into the corrupt drive and move the files onto the good drive from there.

I've set it up and it seems like a folder is working but when trying to access the files on my windows desktop I get prompted with a login, my guess is I have something wrongly configured in the smb.conf, but as I said I don't really know what I'm doing so I don't know what to edit

Some of my old game boy games are going for seriously high prices now. Should I start selling my rare video games? I haven't played them for years, they are just sitting in a plastic bin, but there are a few memories in that plastic bin.

However, when I rationalize this, I can't see any reason to keep them. They don't even come out of the box, they just sit there.

Selling refurbished laptopts. Do i stay honest to the customers and market them as refurbished, or go with all the other scumbags and sell them as brand new, with "very last warehouse items, might show small signs of use" written in fine print at the bottom of the page?

I know some fuckers buy used shit, clean keyboards a bit and slap a "brand new" on it. When the RMA's keep piling up they just disappear and open up a new e-shop month later. On the other hand they steal most of our customers, because lol same chinktop but $30 cheaper.

My windows 7 is doing the same thing.
I'm sick of windows.

What kind of stuff should go on an SSD?
Would I put my Downloads folder on my HDD or leave it on my SSD?

>>58456204
unless you're downloading gigabytes of data nonstop you shouldn't worry about this, the SSD will outlast any other part in your computer.

So uh
My PC died and im using a temporal MacBook Pro 1,2 that was lend to me to do whatever until i buy a new PC.

Can i install the latest OS X on this thing? Or maybe Windows 7? Please keep in mind that i have no idea about Macs.

So from my school I was given a x200, but it is sadly only running Windows 10. Is it possible to install Arch Linux on it, while not fucking up their system. The admin have locked down the system, so I was hoping Arch could get me some freedom to actually do something.

The backspace key on my keyboard is squeaking when I push it. I just got this keyboard brand new last week. It's a membrane keyboard; a Lenovo preferred pro keyboard. Why is it doing this and how do I fix it?

Found a 128GB SSD I won a couple years back in a drawer. Is it worth sticking it in my desktop and moving my OS and a couple games (Arma 3 & Witcher 3 come to mind) over to it? I never really followed SSDs.

>>58456412
yes

>>58456412
I would get a larger SSD before going through the trouble of moving or reinstalling your OS
You could still use it to store things you want to load quickly

Either you got chinked, there's plenty of "original" keyboards floating around, or it simply is a shitty lenovo keyboard. Most of their lineup isn't known for quality but affordable prices. I oughta know, i sell those shits.
RMA it, buy a new one, or put some grease in there, assuming it's the kind with easily removable keyes.

Is the battery life of the LG G4 shit for everyone else? I have a brand new G4 and battery and 3 hours after barely using it it's down to 75% from a full charge. Is my battery shot or is this just how it is?

    long nc;

    nc = 0;
    while (getchar() != EOF)
        ++nc;
    printf("%ld\n", nc);
}

Why is it printing 1 more then it should? Is it counting newline? If so why no when it is 0? How do I prevent this?

If you're doing shady stuff with products why not just take it. What if the cashier notices that she's scanning something for 5 that rings up as something for 1? You'll be a big suspect. Unless you're doing self-scanning, but then really why not just "forget" to scan it at all

Chromebooms are huge in education now, if she doesnt need word could be nice. Very cheap

>>58456684

I can't answer your main question, but I can tell you that it's not going to print 0 since it increments the variable before printing the value.

>>58452113
Yeah, but XP is not supported for updates anymore so take that into account

You can use it to activate for downgrade rights, but not to do the initial install.

If you keep your pockets clean, they shouldnt. Most scratches occur because of sand and little rocks in your pocket. Could that be it?

>>58456684
newline is not EOF, so yes it does count.
what do you mean no when it's 0? if you don't enter any text and just press enter it'll print 1.
check for linefeed/carriage return instead of EOF to break your loop.

>>58454945
Why not? I got one as a gift and have been using it but cant compare it to anything so no idea if its good

Or do I just have to pay more?

>>58457221
Assuming this is a secondary/non-system drive? The sound you describe is just the sound of the drive powering on, and the lockup is just the system waiting for the drive to finish spinning up so it can begin doing the work. Nothing to be particularly concerned about, non-system drives get powered off during periods of inactivity as a means of extending their lifespan by only having them on when they're needed.

I mean is it worth learning it when there are easier languages to learn? I'm still not sure what I want to do. I'm going in to it with the premise that I want to become a game developer one day but I'm not sure about this. Also because my uni I'm xferring to uses it to teach their classes. Also because I heard if I learn c++ ill have a much easier time learning other languages when I need to because of positions I land.

virtual servers you can rent.

>>58458370
are you using a HDD? reading and writing to the same disk at the same time with large files makes everything else slow to read, hence other programs take longer when they read/write something from the HDD.

why do my mouse and keyboard only work in bios but not on windows?

>>58458045
Editors are more simple, which may be an advantage.
Some IDE's have a bad editor, and then it is better to use a stand alone editor.
I use kdevelop myself. It is using kate as the editor, but ads a lot of functionality related to programming that is not there in kate.
Other people turn the editor into an IDE.
This gives them a bit extra control of what is going on with their editor.
Eg, kate is scripted in js, and some people does not like that, so they use vim, which is easier to bind to bash.
The most notable downside with an IDE is it integrates everything into a single window.
This is rarely a useful thing as you have less space to work with this way.

>>58458263
I have used ABBYY in the past and it is very good.
It allows taking a pdf and turn it into an html document in very little time.
That document can then be turned into whatever you would like.

You could also just use onenote.

Detached windows in the IDE is probably the easiest if you want to keep the IDE.
Otherwise, just use separate windows and set up kwinrules so you don't have to move the windows around every time.
If you use the build hotkey on window 1, does it not build it on window 2?

>>58459307
It only builds the window that's selected. I can compile and run the program on the right, but I have to move over to the left to run the tester program.

Why the fuck is ublock starting to not block youtube ads.

>>58460523
I'm no expert, but I imagine it has to do with how adblockers work. Since they essentially prevent certain elements in a page from loading, the page can simply use unblocked (unblockable?) functionality to check whether the elements in question exist (i.e. got loaded) or not, and if not, bitch about adblocking.

>>58460589
Beat me to it.

Are modular power supplies just a meme?
Is there a reason to get one other than to just make shit look pretty on the inside?

>>58460594
filters haven't been updated

>>58460607
yeah pretty much. your average semi-mod will do the job just as well

>>58460610
My filters autoupdate though. Unless you mean ublock itself hasn't pushed out a recent enough update

>>58460634
that's exactly what i mean.

>>58460589
in regards to the pcpartpicker:

I already got the 6700k for $270 on newegg ebay around black friday which i think was a pretty good deal.

I will, however, consider the m.2 ssd. But i was also thinking about going raid 0 with 2 evo 240gb's. and possible add another down the line.

Lets imagine a mobo that supports ddr4 2133mhz RAM.

What would happen if you place, lets say, a ram with 1600mhz in it? would it not work at full potential?

And what about the oposite, what if you put a 3000mhz ram in it? would the mother bottleneck it?

>>58460638
Oh. Well never mind then.

>>58460641
nvme is just a better solution. pci-e is almost always going to be faster and you don't have the problems raid-0 can bring.
>>58460659
it would run at 1600mhz. if you place a 3000mhz module it would run at 2133mhz

>>58460659
Lets imagine a car that can go up to 200 mph.

what would happen if you, lets say, only go 100 mph? would it not go 200 mph?

and what about the oppisite, what if you went 300 mph? would the car not go 300 mph?

>>58460683
So its always best to buy ram with the same mhz has the mobo then.
Is the difference even worth it?
>>58460689
can you make that a food analogy?

>>58460740
Lets imagine that a Subway™ Sandwich Artist™ that can make sandwiches up to 200 sph (sandwiches per hour).

what would happen if you, lets say, only go 200 sph? would it not go to 200 sph?

and what about the opposite, what if you went 300 sph? would the car not go 300 sph?

>>58460740
Lets imagine you can physically only eat 3000 calories a day.

what would happen if you, lets say, ate 2000 calories? would you not be at your caloric limit?

and what about the opposite, what if you tried to eat 3500 calories? would you still only be able to physically eat 3000 calories a day?

i can do this all day.

>>58460767
aw fuck I messed that up. the first 200 is supposed to be 300. god damnit

>>58460769
can you make it a cat analogy now

>>58460767
dat nigga speedy as fuck

>>58460767
>>58460769
I think im getting the picture but could you make it an anime analogy just in case?

>>58460792
Lets imagine you are only allowed 3 cats in your apartment.

what would happen if you, lets say, brought 2 cats? would you not be at your cat limit?

and what about the opposite, what if you tried to bring 4 cats? would your landlord still neck-punch you for having more cats than allowed?

>>58460834
okay now do the analogy with ram

>>58460833
Lets imagine you can watch 20 episodes of [insert weeb ass anime here] per day.

what would happen if you, lets say, watched 15 episodes? would you not be at your bodies maximum cancer threshhold?

and what about the opposite, what if you tried to watch 30 episodes? would you still be a lonely basement troll?

Thanks guys, i am now enlightened about RAM speed

>>58460863
I think that performance, assuming you're not hitting your temperature cap, will be largely the same. The only possible difference I could see is price and the literal size of the card.

Are you going for some micro ATX build?

>>58460846
Let's imagine you can tie 300 Ram trucks together and ride around on them like a techno chariot nuRoman

what would happen if you, lets say, only tied 200 together? would you not be on the same level as 300 sick ass Ram trucks tied together?

and what about the opposite, what if you tied 300 Ram trucks together? Would you be able to drive over everyone in this hypothetical retro-futuristic future with cyber-Colosseum chariot races?

>>58460863
well yea cooling, but because the cooling isnt as good, you wont be able to push the same clock speed. as a gpu with say 2 or 3 fans.

regardless a single fan 1070 will be able to rip through most games at base clock.

>>58460936
>Are you going for some micro ATX build?
No, but that particular one is priced at 340 euros, whereas most other "cheap" 1070 from Gigabyte start around 400.

The display is powered by the interface cable, so the adapter board you get should also supply power. No idea if it's LVDS, make sure you get the correct one before you order it and spend weeks waiting for it to arrive from chinkland.

>>58461220
Get DAZ loader from the mydigitallife forums.

>>58460602
That makes sense but it doesn't really answer my question.

Why can't you design the adblocker in such a way it loads all the elements, but then displays only certain ones for the end user? I could manually save a page, remove the ads, and open it offline no problem. Why isn't an adblocker designed like this?

how did they find out my win 7 is pirate? I've been using this ctacked copy for years and it never got found out, but today I was playing some VN when suddenly I got the "your windows is fake" message, even though I didn't install any updates and I checked the list of installed updates and it didn't even have the KB971033 installed.

what does that mean?

>>58461546
it means you cheated the system and got caught out you fucking nigger

so i just compressed an entire season of a tv show and the zip stayed the exact same size as the original files
what gives, i thought it was supposed to get smaller

Should I upgrade to Windows 10?

Here is some more info:
-Switching over to my first SSD
-It's currently on a fresh Windows 7 Pro but it is in French as this was the only ISO available from Microsoft
-Cannot change display language in 7 Pro
-I do not speak French

>>58461563
zip barely works for video files because they are already heavily compressed. Further compression would be destructive to the data so it doesn't work.

>>58461563
the video is probably already ultra compressed.

i think it should still get a tiny bit smaller though? so could be something wrong with your settings. but if it's some rip you dl online it's not going to compress very much either way

>>58461604
if you want microsoft to spy on you, sure

>>58461608
>>58461612
when i say exact same i mean it stayed 1.81 gb, but if i right click and check the full size there is some negligible difference

Need help my mother is being a violent cunt accusing me of removing auto login information.

When you log out of a google account and try to log into another one, that page that lists your accounts: does it normally only show two accounts? Because she's always using three for whatever stupid reasons and one always seems to be removed.

purchase more storage

I found a guy on CL selling 20x mini-itx PCs with this motherboard
https://ark.intel.com/products/42490/Intel-Desktop-Board-D945GCLF
for $2 each.

I wanted one to replace the frankly overkill i5-2500 workstation I was using as a pfSense router, freeing that machine up for whatever and also consuming less power. I ended up buying them all because why the fuck not?

Anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do with the rest? I already have a beefy dedicated file server / torrent machine, the aforementioned router, and I set one of them up as a dedicated retro console.

How does a person deduct work laptop for taxes? Used only for work as an employee.

>>58461789
>purchase more storage
yes this is what i was hoping to avoid by compressing my shit
I already have a few terabytes of storage, i just feel shit is getting too out of hand if i purchase any more

yeah but each time a go-to torrent site takes a hit availability becomes harder and harder
kat was the best, piratebay is a significant step down
after piratebay it's gonna go down to some bullshit like rutracker
so I guess I'm just trying to take advantage of piratebay while it's still there, because when kat went down I was like damn, if only I had stockpiled from there earlier I wouldn't have to be scouring for shit now

What's wrong with private trackers? Maintaining the ratio?

There's a software plug in that I suspect is harbouring data and selling it, something that their users believe that it's not doing.

Is there somebody I can hire to review the plug in, or have I been watching too many fedora tier tech films?

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
