/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

I printed some web pages to PDF and there's the date and url written on every page. Is it possible to remove them from all pages with a script? I didn't know this was a browser-dependent thing.

How do I use grep to exclude patterns in standard output from find rather than in the files themselves?

Basically I want to stop every "Permission denied" line from getting outputted.

What is the actual address used to ssh into remote computers called?

When using ipconfig/ifconfig, several come up. IPv4, inet, inet6, public address, local address etc.

What are the differences?

Should I replace all my case fans with Noctuas? It would be 2 x 92mm and 1 x 140mm. Included fans are pretty quiet and they have no problem cooling my computer, but I want it to be dead silent.

What is the /g/ approved web browser?

>>58584001
That ain't standard output, that's stderr. You'll simply want to use 2>/dev/null to supress error messages. Alternatively, 2>&1 then pipe to grep.

No way in hell that is gonna work. If you actually want to use it for some reason, you're going to have to find something way more lightweight than Ubuntu... that also has PowerPC support... I don't really have any real distro recommendation for you since PowerPC is largely abandoned now. Try Debian, maybe?

I got this old HDD /g/. It come from an old laptop of mine which died 4yrs ago from mobo trauma whilst I think it was writing data with a PVR running.
With picture provided I have it hooked up in and ext HDD box. The (G:) Partition is where the data that I want to recover is. In diskmgmt G comes up as a RAW partition. But when using testdisk_win it shows it as a RAW partition whilst photorec_win shows it as an NTFS partition.

Can I put this in a PC and boot it into windows? Would I need a Win image to perform recovery?
If not, am I safe to try and recovery whatever I need from this partition?

Whats the point of a callback? Based on this definition

>http://stackoverflow.com/questions/824234/what-is-a-callback-function

It seems like its just a method of ensuring another function is called at the end of a prior function. But arent there much simpler ways of doing that? whats the advantage of passing the second function as an argument to the first?

>>58584448
Yes. 3-5 years is the dying point, if it doesn't die after that, you've got a drive that probably won't die. Get a new drive (pref. SSD) and clone to it.

>>58584250
>Anything I should know before doing this?
>and is replacing a hard drive as easy as it was installing it?
>>58584250
Yes, replacing HDD w/ SSD is just as easy as installing. You don't really need to know much. You can clone your current HDD to SSD if it's big enough.

>>58584015
ipv4/6 is the internet address. This is like the address on your house, but for your computer. However, if you're on a LAN/WLAN, your IP will only be for the LAN (e.g. 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x,) and your router will have the 'real' outside IP.

>>58584505
So, the whole point of a callback is exactly what you said: ensuring another function is called at the end. They're mostly useful in asynchronous (non-blocking) programming.

For example:

Non-callback, synchronous:
sleep(1); //waits a second
foo(); //calls foo

Callback, asynchronous:
sleep(1, foo()); //sleeps for 1s, calls foo

Non-callback, asynchronous:
sleep(1); //'sleeps', doesn't do anything really, since no callback.
foo(); //executed immediately, no sleep.


So, for a practical, real world example, say you're coding something in javascript:

loadPage(); //takes some time (500ms?)
alert("Done loading!"); //executes instantly, since JS is asynchronous by design

In order to do what you want, you have to do something like this:
loadPage(myAlertDoneFunction); //loads page, then calls alert(...).

This ensures that alert will ONLY be called at the END of the loadPage function, and not WHILE the page is loading. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks for the response anon. I'm just starting to learn C. Just to clarify, I always assumed that if you call a function in C and then another function immediately after (like the Non-callback, synchronous example) it always only triggers the second function when finished with the first. Is that wrong? Can I actually call a function I wrote and then have the program continue along past it while the function is still in the middle of running?

What's a decent 13-14 inch lappy to purchase for ~1000 american dollarydoos or under?

couple of things from a first time build:
1. MAY have bent some pins on the mobo' processor port. I assume i can straighten these myself instead of sending it in to be replaced.
2. does the case's integral fans need to be hooked up to the mobo, or just power?
3. what if the case's chord doesn't reach the mobo? two or three inches off.

did read the sticky and the manuals, just am making first time errors.

>1. MAY have bent some pins on the mobo' processor port. I assume i can straighten these myself instead of sending it in to be replaced.
if you're careful, which you aren't since you managed to bend them in the first place
>2. does the case's integral fans need to be hooked up to the mobo, or just power?
just power is fine, you'll only be missing out on software fan speed readings and control
>3. what if the case's chord doesn't reach the mobo? two or three inches off.
i have not personally come across a mobo/case combination where this has happened, are you sure they aren't just cable tied or something?

>>58584690
>if you call a function in C and then another function immediately after (like the Non-callback, synchronous example) it always only triggers the second function when finished with the first.
Correct.

>Can I actually call a function I wrote and then have the program continue along past it while the function is still in the middle of running?
2 methods: multithreading or efficient programming.

Multithreading:
startThread(foo);
startThread(bar);
sleep(9999);
//foo, bar, both running at same time.

Smart programming:
Say you have to sort an array.

while(notsorted(array1) and notsorted(array2)) {
sort(array1); //sort a small amount of elements -- not the whole array.
sort(array2); //^
}

The 2nd example is similar to multitasking (i.e., how you can play 2 videos at once on your computer.) Truly, only one sort is happening at a time. However, since the functions are small and quick, it seems like they are both occurring at once.

>>58584690
>>58584741

Also, I should note, if you're doing multithreading (1st ex) in C, you'll want to be careful about race conditions. Essentially, if you have something like:

int x = 0;
createThread(intenseMath(x));
createThread(intenseMath(x));
...


You'll run into a race condition. This is because you have a multicore CPU. In laymans terms, since both CPUs are accessing 'x' at the same time, the number will become a random value.

Why? I don't actually know, but I'm assuming it has to do with circuitry. Both CPUs try to access the same RAM cell, which ends up creating some form of electrical short (direct connection between CPUs via memory lanes,) which ends up storing a random value in x.

>>58584763
Oh, and to avoid this, you'll want to use unlocking and locking, or use another variable (y; preferred.)

locking/unlocking is vital to safe multithreading, however there are limitations (deadlock, etc.)

>>58584761
i haven't installed any modern intel cpus, but i assumed they're the same as amd ones in that the cpu should just drop into the slot with zero force

I am writing a list containing 10 ideas daily.

Have you thought of any interesting ideas (doesn't have to be a business or science breakthrough, more like 'start using liquid soap instead of bars of soap for hygeine'

I've been having this problem for months and have tried countless solutions offered online to no avail.

Small SSD with the operating system and a larger HDD.

I'm currently running a Debian server on my Xeon E3-1240v3 equipped SuperMicro board in my living room, with QEMU/KVM installed for VMs, primarily for separate servers for games, and to serve with GPU passthrough to a Windows 8.1 VM for a media center attached to my home theatre.

I'm thinking of moving to a pure hypervisor OS, mainly Proxmox because the containers method for certain applications would work better for applications that are native to Linux already, like Plex (which I use on the host OS right now)

How would I go about making a shared pool of storage for all my containerized applications like Plex, Bittorrent Sync, Samba, etc on a setup like that? I only have a single 3TB hard disk in there at the moment, will RAID mirror it later. I'm just confused as to how to allow each container to write to a single shared storage area as I do already. Basically Plex, Samba, and Bittorrent Sync all read from a single directory which I have subdirectories in. Not sure how to allow each container access to this. Just use bind mounts or something?

Also, should I install Promox to a flash drive instead and boot it from that, and then create LVM partitions for the VMs and the shared pool?

So, i have this old-ish Sony Vaio laptop that uses AMD Radeon hd 7650m as dedicated video card and Intel Pentium b980 as CPU. Recently, i think my Radeon video card died, when i install any drivers for it i get flickering black screen with some artefacts and the PC is unusable unless i go in safe mode and uninstall all the drivers. This way, i can at least use the laptop for browsing internet/watching videos, but just in 1024x768 resolution. I can even play some old video games like Diablo II or Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 without any problems, but when i install something even slightly newer i get huge FPS drops(i tried Warcraft 3, it runs with around 10 fps). My idea was, since apparently my CPU support Intel HD graphics, to just use it as a main "video card", but for some reason i cant isntall any drivers for it, i get the error "this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software". Any help would be greatly appreciated lads

Bash scripting and ffmpeg are your friend.

Something like

do

    echo $artist
done

should print the artist. Too lazy to look up the ffmpeg commands now but I'm pretty sure that would work.

But quoting variables is done to solve this exact problem.

, but the quotes don't get touched. So

should

return "artist with spaces"

Try running your script with echo at the beginning of the ffmpeg line, to see what it's doing.

The fact that your printer is connected to your LAN whether by wifi or ethernet has no bearing on whether it works on your machine; Spooling can be done via LDP, CUPS or IPP either way - the only reason you shouldn't be able to print via network is if they're on seperate vlans and your firewall blocks inter-vlan traffic.

No, it's not. The average computer on Steam is 2.6-2.9GHz quad-core with 8GB ram, a 970 w/ 1GB VRAM (?????), running 1080p.

More likely it's dual-core with hyperthreading which is not equivalent.

Thanks for your help but as usual the error was something completely different. You just have to add -metadata for every tag

 -metadata artist="..." -metadata title="..."

Also ffmpeg doesn't seem to like editing existing files so you have to create a new one which makes the whole script pretty stupid. Still dumping it in case anyone wants to use it or improve it with a suitable id3 tool.

#!/bin/bash
for file in *.mp3
do
    artist=${file%%[ ]-*}

    song=${file#*-[ ]}
    song=${song%%.mp3}

    echo $artist
    echo $song

    ffmpeg -i "$file" -metadata title="$song" -metadata artist="$artist" -codec copy "${file%%.mp3}-tagged.mp3"
done

Is there a GUI software that can index images by the text on them?

Like it would scan each image with OCR (tesseract?) and organize it into a database. When I input a term, it would throw me the files that contain said term.

Passive cooling or laptop.
But a cool and powerful laptop is pricey. (Dell Precision for example)

>>58584250
> anything I should know
Yes, only buy MLC SSD.
SLC is best, but very pricey. TLC is trash, but they keep pushing it.

Also, Intel offers 5 year warranty, and they have one of the cheapest MLCs on the market. I am no shill, just found this a few weeks ago when I had to order one for a customer.

Look around and buy something with long warranty. If the firmware turns out to be fucked, you can always just return it.
(There were quite a few botched up SSDs in the past few years.)

>>58586331
CPU is ok.
Memory is kinda low (16gigs is now recommended for most use cases).
GPU fucking sucks.

PSU could be also questionable. But if it works, just replace it when it breaks.

I'm dual booting for the first time, my questions:
1. If I have dual boot with Linux and Windows, will both OSes read and be able to save data to my external NTFS disk?
2. Is having 'shared data' partition a better option? If so then what format should it be, I read of both FAT32 and NTFS.

>>58585904
compile with clang, use debug flag, and run it with "gdb". these are all essential tools.

>>58586513
After having a non-Intel SSD die on me the other day, I'm going back to my policy of only buying Intel SSDs.

>>58586537
Linux can read and write to NTFS via fuse-ntfs.
Shared partitions can work for stuff that's not system files.

>>58586541
>not mentioning dtrace
lol linux.

>>58585890
Why not? Then again, it's all about how much power you need, how much they add up to, and so on.

It would be easier (I think) to order these "batteries". Not the off the shelf ones, but you can order proper li-ion battery packs which you can wire together.

You will have to look up how voltage adds up, etc. Visit /diy/ maybe. And well, look up how much juice you need, how much battery life you need, etc.

These shops (RS-Components, Farnell) are your friend, they have almost every component ready. But yeah, you will have to solder a tiny bit.

>>58586537
>1. If I have dual boot with Linux and Windows, will both OSes read and be able to save data to my external NTFS disk?
yes

>2. Is having 'shared data' partition a better option?

how is it a different option from the situation described in #1?

>>58586545
>After having a non-Intel SSD die on me the other day
I used Kingston Sandforce SSDs. Two of them, in RAID0. For years. And they had no TRIM. Only a few weeks ago I realized using that cool trim tester tool that Windows lies - and I have no TRIM.
(Even though my chipset is said to support it.)

Point is: They still work, and thanks to Kingston/Sandforce they, they prevented write amplification, and early degradation.

So there are good SSDs out there.
Just saying that the current Intel MLC ones fucking rock. (And I have like 10 Intel ones running, some very old, they still run like a charm.)

> not mentioning dtrace
True, I am a scrub C/C++ dev, clang/gdb was always enough. I also enjoyed using NetBeans, it was a comfy IDE for C. (Some say Visual Studio, I don't know, with expensive plugins it becomes powerful, but raw VS is not THAT good.)

>>58586537
1. Yes.
2. Just make the primary OS bigger. I guess that's Windows in your case. "Linux" will work with a 20gig partition just fine, and you can reach all your files.

Keep in mind Linux will fragment your drive to hell, but worry not, Windows nowadays schedules automatic defragment.

(Just saying. Because a few times I copied back tons of files using Ubuntu live CD / my own installed distro, and every time I started using said copied data, it was slow. Checked with defrag tool, and it was all over the place.)

>>58586569
>how is it a different option from the situation described in #1?
This way I would have to further partition the hard disk on my laptop. If I keep it externally I would just have 1 partition for Windows and 1 for Linux - instead of 1 W, 1 L and 1 shared.

>>58586537
>If so then what format should it be, I read of both FAT32 and NTFS.
NTFS, it's more resistent against filesystem corruption.

>>58586573
Oh, sure - you can get lucky and get a good SSD from not-Intel. It's just not something reliable.
This friday I placed an order for 20 1.2TB Intel 750 U.2 SSDs for my OS' new raidz3 array with +10GBps read and write and +1.5M IOPS.

>>58586591
Compared to FAT32 - barely. Compared to ZFS or HAMMER? No fucking chance, mate.

>>58586593
I know, they are godsend.
But people (especially paid posters) will frown upon you/me if we say Intel is good.

>>58586605
>Compared to FAT32
That's what he was asking m8

I wouldn't call journaling "barely".

>>58586584
put ssd instead of hdd
remove dvd rom from the notebook, put in caddy for hdd with data storage hdd

data hdd put as NTFS, split ssd in to windows/linux

the best way

>>58586623
It's got no crash consistency, no meta- or -data checksumming, and no transactional write model. It didn't even popularize journaled filesystems - that was JFS back in the early 90s. The day that ReFS is judged good enough to be bootable is the day Windows finally gets a modern filesystem - until then it's legacy that's not to be trusted with data.

I'm dual booting for the first time PART 2 (sorry):
Please correct me if my envisioned installation process is wrong, I want to install both OSes from scratch. (my hard disk size is 650 GB)
1. Installing clean Windows 10 -> setting single 500 GB partition and the remainder unalocated.
2. Setting USB booting options.
3. Installing Linux on the unalocated space (150 GB):
primary / 15 GB
primary /home reminder c. 120 GB
primary /swap 9-12 GB (I have 6 GB RAM)
logical /boot (500 MB)

I'm not sure about sizes of the partitions in the 3rd point AND whether I should really fiddle with the 3rd partition for data sharing if I have the big external drive.

What the fuck is Magisk

How the fuck do I pass the SafetyNet check?

I'm very lost, I'm going to buy an RX480 8gb but can't decide on which one, could you guys help me decide
ASUS STRIX-RX480-O8G-GAMING : 3 fans, longer but my case can fit it
MSI RX 480 GAMING X 8G : 10 euro cheaper
Sapphire 11260-20-20G : 50/40 euro cheaper, but only 2 year warranty over 3 on the other 2, seems the most basic of them all

You can drop /boot. It's mostly useless to have one nowadays, especially on desktop.
/ is fine.
Swap is fine.

/home ... it depends. if you just keep a small set of files and access the rest from the Windows NTFS drive, it may be a bit big.

but only you know how you use the computer.

>>58586795
- Longest warranty.
- On off fan. (off if no load)
- Not very long or very heavy.
- Cheapest.

Check ASUS/Gigabyte.
Also if you want to use it for a longer time, why AMD? They drop support fucking fast. But hey, no judging. See the top four points.

I have a dual screen setup and an old GTX 760, and nowadays I've started to have odd small black squares running through my screen at random times. Also more and more dead pixels are show up and disappear. My graphics card is dying isn't it?

>>58586864
Dead pixels?
Nah, it's your display lol.

If it's your GPU, then run Furmark or any 3D game. If you see purple colors, weird textures and glitches, the GPU is fried.

But, see my first point it's most likely your display.

is Tor down for everyone or just me?

seems like it doesn't complete the encryption process or doesn't even connect to the network while using a proxy.

>>58586882
Alright, not dead pixels, but rather small dots that flicker on both of my screens. Also sometimes when I'm watching shit the monitors hang, going black, but I can still hear everything that's going on in the video.

The oddest part is that it doesn't do any of that when I'm playing something, but god forbid if I'm using chrome or watching a video, it either hangs or displays those black squares.

>>58587055
Firmware is the binary software that ships with certain types of modern hardware (see: graphics cards, RAID HBAs and similar) which take care of controlling the hardware instead of letting the OS do that. It's supposed to make the hardware more efficient (it's debatable whether it does, compared to letting the kernel do it), but what it really does is allow arbitrary uncontrollable execution on your machine.

Gentoo's ethernet doesn't just work? It did for me back in the 00s.

What you should do is Install Ubuntu and/or CentOS (maybe keep CentOS in a virtual machine since its kinda a shit desktop OS with its tiny official repositories and everything being old, really only useful for enterprise shit made specifically for RHEL) and study for Linux certs if you want to actually "learn Linux:"

>>58587173
"BUT LINUX HAS EVERY SINGLE AND ALL DRIVERS!!!!" --Every Linux User ever.
What model is your ethernet card? Usually you can look it up via PCI ID which is a string that looks roughly like this: "XXXX:XXXX" in hexidecimal and can be found with lspci -nn in the [ ]

>>58587203
>Am gonna use audacity and cut and copy bits
That's very dumb.

Is OOP scalable

>>58587173
Forgot to mention this in >>58587224, but you may need to use 'lspci -qnn' which queries a central PCI ID database.

Hey guys Im totally new to the UNIX world, with what variant i should go?

>>58587233
Why?

>>58587256
Anything is scalable if written properly. Question is, are you a good enough programmer?

>>58587277
Depends - do you want something that's actually descended from UNIX or do you want a UNIX-like? Linux is a UNIX-like but BSDs and Illumos share (some, very little nowadays) code with UNIX (Illumos through Solaris, BSDs through the Berkeley System Distribution).

https://freebsd.org/handbook has good documentation for what you need to try out FreeBSD.

Would it be a good idea to host a hentai home client on an Amazon AWS frees account? Would it work and would it remain to be free?

>>58587723
It looks okay, just upgrade the GPU.
To be honest new games either use multi threading, or just suck in general (like MMOs).

So if they suck, you can build a gazillion core water cooled rig and they will still fucking lag. (TERA, ArcheAge, B&S).

If they are written well (BF1, Titanfall 2, Siege, etc), they will run well.

tl;dr; Only the GPU looks mediocre-ish.

>>58587747
It would cost you an arm and leg.
Bandwidth costs a fucking lot at Amazon. They also charge for extra IO and literally everything.

>OCZ

>>58587803
It really depends.
I have a GTX880M in my laptop, and 99% of the stuff is CPU bottlenecked. (GTX880M is literally a GTX760 desktop).

So... yeah.
I would suggest installing "Afterburner" by MSI.
It's free. You can enable CPU usage / GPU usage overlay. Launch games and see which maxes out.
(Well if your GPU is not 99%, then it's the CPU.)

We upgraded my gf's PC from 7870 to GTX780 then GTX1060.
Well, ain't much difference.

>>58587823

It can, just gotta cough up that cash money, son.

>>58587866
Of course, run everything on the SSD as much as possible.
It's fearmongering and nothing else that you must be careful.

I compiled. I gamed. I reinstalled a dozen times. Virtualization. I used it as cache, EVERYTHING you can just imagine.
And based on the current TBs written, and estimated life time, this SSD will run for 15 MORE FUCKING YEARS. (or more)

Just use it.
Also, I would suggest getting a 240GB/512GB model (anything bigger), because having your core apps, maybe a few games on it is godsend. Don't worry, not every game benefits from it. Games with small files will, however.
KF2 on a HDD takes around 5-10 minutes to launch & load map.
On an SSD? 15-30 seconds?

240GB is enough for Windows, every user app, and 2-3 major AAA games.

Yes it bothers me, because you don't want to install a VIDEO PLAYER to play a VIDEO.
I mean, every smartphone worked like this since forever. Even your computer works like this.

Only McLennfart Poettering would say "the kernel should contain a video player, a music player, and web browser."
tl;dr: Installing apps is perfectly fine. Just avoid installing shit. Mxplayer and Solid Explorer are both A grade stuff.

Hello friends, I'm trying to do a thing but it doesn't do it. I'm not any good at the command line, but perhaps you can help me. The 'code' is kinda self-explanatory but I'll help explain anyway.

elize@workstation: upload.sh image.png | xclip -sel clip

This uploads image.png to mixtape.moe and then outputs the link, next xclip copies that link into my clipboard and I can paste it anywhere. I've tested it and it works.
So I'm trying to make a short alias into my .bashrc so it does that all without me having to type so much that I won't remember for long anyway.

alias upload='function _(){ echo "upload.sh $1 | xclip -sel clip"};'

I thought AMD is the one that actually supports their card instead of gimping it with every update ?

>>58587997
Because you wrote a function AND an alias together.
Either make a function OR an alias.

In this case an alias will do.

Just do this:

alias upload='upload.sh image.png | xclip -sel clip'

Or whatever you want to do.

>>58588018
But anon, then it would always upload image.png, right?
Obviously I wanna upload something that isn't image.png sometimes.

you are correct, dont know what that guy is talking about

>>58588011
This gimp meme has to stop.
Both manufacturers optimize for their new cards, and kinda neglect the older ones. This results in a few percent performance loss during the years. So your new and shiny RX480 or 1080 won't do 1000 FPS, only 998. 5 years later.

Support means new drivers on the long run.
If you use Windows, Nvidia will support it for longer period. And Nvidia has Linux/FreeBSD driver with SLI support.
On the other hand, AMD drops Windows support fast, and their closed drivers suck ass. But, they do have a Linux open source driver, and if you have a supported card, it will work okay most of the time.

(But if you use Linux, just use an integrated GPU)

>>58588033
Use a function then, lol.

function upImage() {
~/.scripts/upload.sh $1 | xclip -sel clip
}

Or something like this.

Only useful if you have to reinstall the system. That way you just keep all your settings/files in your /home.

20gb for / is enough IMO.

>>58588056

Does a person sitting in an enclosed room appreciably increase the temperature of the room by being there?

Came up in a story where a girl has been laying in her room with a fever all day and the protagonist notes how hot it is in the room, presumably due to the extra heat from her fever, seemed unlikely to me that such a thing could happen...

Is there any way to improve the effectiveness of a heat sink? My PC is getting old and heats up a lot, i already changed the thermal paste but it still happens

>>58588405
>blow the dust out(like really fucking hard, either blow with mouth till you start blacking out or if you have compressed air would work too(also not in the fucking case, take it out to bathroom))
>change the fan
Basically everything that's possible without changing the heatsink itself

>>58588405
Nothing I can think of really besides making sure it is making good contact with the CPU, is attached firmly, thermal paste is applied properly

>>58588438
Already opened it and cleaned it with compressed air

>>58588439
I applied it as good as i could following a tutorial i found on the internet and it has a lot of screws so i'd say it's firm on its place

I was looking for something like "put aluminium foil around it" or some lyff hax like that, i suppose there are none

Thanks for your help

If 100% sealed and perfectly insulatetd, I'm sure it would raise it a few degrees just from the human body constantly burning calories and putting off heat

>>58588489
>tutorial I found online
It wasn't by MSI, was it ?
In all seriousness if you didn't put a small pea and let the heatsink spread it out, reapply the paste, other way it could be with air bubbles or too much of paste which also fucks with cooling
Of course you won't notice any cosmic difference, stock coolers(I assume it's a stock cooler you're talking about) can only do so much

Yes.
Also you could note the increased vapor on the windows.
Even in normal situations a person breaths out a ton of water.
If you are sick, even more.

(I had some material on this, because it's a concern in a cold warehouse. They breathe out for example 4-5L, multiply that by the amount of workers, and you have ice fucking everywhere.)

How do I uninstall pulseaudio completely? Using Linux Mint

I have an old optiplex 980 tower using windows 7, the only thing I do on it is use Ableton and Reaper for music stuff

it has 4 ram slots and each slot has a 1 gb card for total of 4gb ram (computer supports up to 16gb, 4x4gb)

I have already ordered 2 4gb ram cards. My question is if I leave two of the 1gb cards in the computer for a total of 10 gb, is it gonna fuck my shit up, or am I better off just using the 2x4gb ram setup for a total of 8

I keep getting white horizontal "lines" on my new monitor that are really distracting, went to get it checked out but it worked alright on the guy's PC. I get them in gray and black backrounds with text in them. They're not really lines, I don't really know how to explain it, kinda like scan lines moving really fast up & down. It's really distracting and annoying. I used to have a Philips 170s (don't laugh) and it's the first time I'm using a 1080p monitor. Wat do?

Anon i know its AMD and shit but dont overclock that shit that much or get an aftermarket HSF.

Also if you have another monitor to test it and works fine then its just the cable.
Otherwise your cable or GPU is kill, probably just drivers.

What's the best way to download videos from youtube that won't result in desynched audio? I used ClipConverter.cc, but it desynched the audio. Don't know if this is a problem with saving the file as an MP4, or what? Would saving it as AVI be better?

>>58590831
I-I'm pretty sure I didn't overclock shit. The hsf came with the box, tho. My Philips 170s worked perfectly.

Nice trips. Do you download the clips in MP4 or AVI? Any desync?

Why should I use HTTPS Everywhere?

>>58590872
Either way if it's the main cause of your problems or not, if you have 30$ laying around, you should invest in a new heatsink, like the CM 212X or equivalent, better temps, no leafblower sound from your computer, even at loads, if the problem persists it's something with your GPU or maybe as someone said the cable

>>58590866
this >>58590888

Does native screen resolution affect gaming ? I have a 1440x900 screen and I had lots of trouble running games that don't even require half of my specs, I'd get a shitload of freeze lag framedrop even at lowest settings. However when I switched from native to 1280x800 the games ran smoothly even on max. Man if it was only the native resolution ruining everything all this time then it means I've been cucked for two years

What's the Uncensored Hidden Wiki link?

>>58591308
>I couldn't run games at 4k even at lowest setting, but dropping to 480p I could run crysis 3 on ultra
The higher the resolution the more powerful GPU you need, if you can't run shit at 1440x900 you should consider upgrading your whole computer, not just the GPU, as I could probably run that on my iGPU with pleasant framerates

You should be fine. Note, however, if your new RAM is faster than the old RAM (i.e. 1333Mhz vs 1866MHz), then the 1866MHz ram will run as 1333MHz. Not a huge deal, but you might want to look into it.
