Why does skyrim run at silky-smooth 60 fps, but any fallout game, made by same developer, run at sand paper 60 fps?

from time to time my pc doesnt turn on or shut down and dont want to power on.
I have to take out the rams and put them in again, and the PC starts working again.

Is it a RAM problem? Is it a Motherboard problem?
If I buy 2x4gb extra and place them in slot 1-3 and my actual rams I place them in 2-4, could it still failing to power on?

How much energy is saved when you switch your desktop computer energy profile from "balanced" to "power saver" in the power options? Anyone have one of those Kill A Watt devices and tried it themselves?

I'm thinking about the pros and cons of leaving my desktop running 24/7 to maximize hardware life and value.

And you'll probably have to get a new one from the cable company.

I've considered getting the Sony SmartWatch 3 only because I have a Sony Xperia Z5 Premium but I'm open to other suggestions, preferably with a pedometer built in.

I'm seriously contemplating switching web-based e-mails.

For my personal e-mail, I've been using the same Hotmail account that I've been using for the last 16 years. It used to be good, but now it's bloated to shit and I don't like it.

I actually quite like Gmail function-wise, and I use it quite a lot for work (the company e-mail runs on Gmail too). However, the only thing I don't like about it is that it's jewgle, and I don't like their Orwellian practices.

What else can I use? I would definitely like something that is fast/lightweight, and won't get creepy on me.

What do you mean by "internet cable"? Does it look the same as your ethernet? Is it round with a pin in the middle?

>>58688164
That would take a shitton of storage and for what? Archives do it for free*
*Not taking in consideration the cost of servers maintance and storage.

>>58688142
>urandom if time permits it
Writing random numbers does nothing more against data retrieval than zeroing.

dd will work on any OS that's installed to /dev/sda. rm -rf would more likely affect your liveusb.

>>58688147
Its not always the case, but you probably have a modem from your cable company. They won't have one that allows you to do what you're asking. The best case for this situation is cable -->modem -->ethernet cable --> computer. That weill get you the fastest speeds.

>>58688164
They probably do save all the text, just because that's like nothing to them. Only reason they wouldn't is if it's a legal liability

>>58688171
It looks just like an ethernet cable, with a pin that clicks when plugged in.

>>58688175
so basically this little 1GB usb I have now has the touch of computer death if they made the mistake of installing to /dev/sda (which I believe is the default of most distros, if not at least I'll get something in the slot)?

does windows default install to /dev/sda? mac os?

i'm just so fascinated at the thought that this shitty usb I got for free from a marketing shill can obliterate entire systems if given the chance

it's like a pocket nuke of sorts

>>58688198
That's the problem and that's why I'm asking this, the place where the router was is in the living room to keep all the rooms with signal, and my desktop is very far away, that's why it has a long ethernet cable that goes through the walls to one of the ports of the router. Now since the router no longer works, I need something to connect the cables to I get internet while the new router arrives. I didn't received any modem because when I got my internet plan I bought my own router.

>>58688212
The order of your /dev/ devices is dependent on the order in which they were detected by the OS. It's not like Windows where you permanently assign drive letters. What is /dev/sda now, may be /dev/sdb on the next boot.

>>58688212
Of course, that's why physical access = comprised machine, most of the time. You'd still need to have access to the boot menu or BIOS, which can be locked down in some extreme cases.

And really, being able to wipe a device is nothing compared to a rubber ducky type attack or even badusb.

>>58688228
You're leaving out important information. The internet cable that you have- what does it go to? If it's a device, give me a model number

>>58688228
You should be able to do this with an ethernet cable. Although, I would consider getting a wireless card for the desktop. Makes life a little easier.

>>58688308

>>58688247
oh ok, I guess that makes it a bit tricky.

But surely the live usb could still irreversibly damage things if I leave it at sda, or would it just return with an error?

>>58688254
that's true, it really isn't as elegant or l33t. And that's what fascinates me about it: a nearly computer-illiterate faggot like me can just stick it into any usb slot and let it run without any of the bells and whistles while getting critically savage results

wiping a machine in many ways is still pretty devastating no matter how anyone looks at it

but then again yeah, like what you and >>58688273 said a secure or protected boot could easily stop this

is dual booting windows 8 and ubuntu a bad idea?

>>58688319
No. If you are using a VPN, everything that uses the device the VPN lives on goes through the VPN. Including the TOR. A VPN would just make it look like your TOR starts in another location. Usually irrelevant anyway as it is so hard to trace back the start of a TOR anyway.

>>58688359
Right so my local ISP will only see the VPN connection? I won't look as sus as a TOR user.

>But surely the live usb could still irreversibly damage things if I leave it at sda, or would it just return with an error?

There's always a /dev/sda on normal PCs, but which drive it may be is a different story. So yes, setting it to /dev/sda will fuck up "something", but what that is, is sort of a crap shoot. But, /dev/sda IS a good bet.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

## Only attempt to write to devices that are known to exist.
if [ -e /dev/sda ]; then dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda; fi
if [ -e /dev/sdb ]; then dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb; fi
if [ -e /dev/sdc ]; then dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc; fi

Do this for sda, sdb, and any other sd's your mischevious heart desires in a bash script.

>>58688375
VPN's are a different story. It depends on the VPN's encryption protocol and its hard to tell if an ISP can see a TOR through a VPN. I know a lot of ISP's can see the TOR browser itself, but can't see anything you're doing in it.

I think some VPN's could hide a TOR browser, but I can't say for sure. Someone on here would probably know.

"using a VPN does hide your internet activity from your internet service provider. It can also hide the fact that you are using TOR, which may flag some suspicion when the feds start asking ISPs to provide data about their users."

Yes

Replace /dev/sda with what ever hard drive/partition your intending to overwrite.

It will not work on machines with crazy ass proprietary disk drivers and secureboot shenanigans.

>>58688506
It sounds like you have a phone line coming in. This means that you NEED a modem, and really if you're not planning on having two separate units, it should also have routing ability (they call the combo a gateway) for security purposes. You won't be able to do anything until you get one. See if your isp will let you lease if you don't want to buy

Is there a universal way to capture decoded audio without losing quality?

I mean, if I play something from any source, that means at some point data has to be decoded and passed to the audio driver (right?). Is it possible to write your own driver that fakes being a speaker and saves captured data into something?

>>58688321

How powerful is CLion for C development?

The thing that's always pissed me off about C ide's is that with other languages such as Java and C# it's nearly impossible to make a syntax error because the ide catches it and warns you explicitly by making the file icon red, in this way you can see how many bugs you have in seconds.

C being a small and simple language you'd expect that to be the case too - but it's not. I've been searching for this feature for ages. It really pisses me off in visual studio that you can have something absolutely trivial like a missing semicolon and the ide will give no warnings at all.

>>58688921
Thanks. By "newbie" I mostly mean that I know zero code and am still relatively ass at the command line, but I've been messing around with linux for a few years and tried several DEs. I've never really understood how cross compatible packages are. Like if I understand it correctly, a package written for fedora won't work on arch, but one written for ubuntu *might* work on debian because it's upstream? And if a package has like a "g" or a "k" at the beginning of it's name, then it probably requires a specific desktop environment? Does using a WM instead limit what packages you can install without bloating your install?

>>58689015
There might be distro specific updates to packages, and different distros can have different means of managing packages. The latter point is probably what you're referring to. If you're compiling some code, it should still work across distros for the most part unless it's some other architecture.

There are packages that are a part of a larger group of packages meant for particular desktop environments. However, you should still be able to install individual packages instead of installing the entire desktop environment.

And no, a WM doesn't limit what packages you can install. They can be used in conjunction with a DE, but many people use them on their own.

>different distros can have different means of managing packages

Do you mean like repos/package managers or differences in the filetype and the way the package is put together?

>should still be able to install individual packages instead of the entire desktop environment

So say I wanted to use a media player built to work with cinnamon, it would install a few packages but still be much lighter than installing cinnamon outright?

>Do you mean like repos/package managers or differences in the filetype and the way the package is put together?

Kind of both. For example, you can make a Debian specific package with dpkg. Ubuntu and Debian both still use apt afaik. Arch uses pacman, Gentoo uses portage, etc.

You should still be able to install the media player. Now it may depend on some outside packages specific to the environment yes, but it's not going to be as heavy as a full environment install.

I just want to extend it's life a bit to play some video games without having to buy a whole new rig.

I was considering buying an used i5 2500k for around 100 bucks, a 480X and getting an SSD.

Opinions?

I'm trying to configure the new meme CUDA server and have not been able to get pip to work correctly.

C# is a "become a microcuck" experience rather than a programming language.

Is there a resource that explains gradient descent in a simple way that doesn't involve 50 million autistic math formulas?

quick stupid question guys.
if i have a dell m4700 with apperently 3 2.5" slots and supported raid0.
Can i set up a raid 0 with 2x ssd (for maximum sanic experience) and use the existing hdd as additional drive for some useless data storage?

I have zero understanding of algebra, but if I were to construct my neural network in the exact same way as someone else who has already done all the complicated algebra, I'd imagine the end math I would have to compute would be exacly the same, and fairly simple?

What do people use to make field recordings?

>>58689496
You could get more power out of it, but you would still be upgrading to a processor on the edge of obsolescence, which is generally always a bad idea economically. I'd retool your system for haswell or newer

>>58689573
Could you be more vague?

>>58689585
Yeah, maybe it's something that would be just fine now but I will regret in a couple of years.

If I change everything I would probably get a 6600k for future proof, if that's even a thing, mobo and DDR4 RAM, so around 400-500 bucks.

>>58689561
My bad, RX 480 8GB.

>>58689535
Yes, although you're unlikely to notice any difference, and it becomes more important to back up your drives given the 2x risk of failure

>>58689592
What machine or device do people record field recordings on?

Can i change a laptop's HDD without removing the battery first (which is faulty anyways + it's unplugged) or would this be dangerous

I basically only have to remove two screws and switch out the defunct HDD with a decent one directly from the housing with this model

>>58689566
Should be the same.

What do you mean by "end math?" You'll get pretty far with a basic understanding of calc and linear algebra. You don't have to get lost in the numbers, so to speak, as long as you think in concrete conceptual terms.

>>58689503
http is part of the Python standard library. Are you sure you know what you're doing? Cause it seems an awful lot like you don't have the slightest idea.

>>58689627
Thanks.

>>58689627
define "field recording"

>>58689643
Yes, you can even unplug it while the laptop is running without damaging the hardware (obviously data is another story).

>>58689680
If I knew, I wouldn't be asking.

>>58689566
If you want to build a neural network but are too braindead to concern yourself with the actual math behind it, use a high-level library like Keras to do the job for you.

>>58689675
That would be why I'm asking. It claims that it could not import the http.server but I am also not able to install it with pip.

Where do I find resources for icloud unlocking or data recovering Iphones?

Before you scream for Jamal to return the phone I'm only asking because I do Iphone hardware repairs and people are really anal about NOT using icloud (after setting it up and forgetting everything related to it that is) and their no-backups-ever-made data. Getting data back or bypassing icloud would help a ton. We always check IMEI and receipt before servicing any phones regardless. If something is fishy then we pull out of business.

I'd guess you're probably boned on that one. Apple locks their security shit down hard. It's a PR selling point. And they're sure as hell not going to encourage third party repair shops by helping you out. If they had their way your job would be illegal. Best you can do is refer people to whatever official recovery options apple gives them.

>>58691620
I only ask because I haphazardly ran past a post on /g/ mentioning how you can possibly create/delete icloud users to bypass the lock:

"On the iCloud lock screen, hold volume down and home for ~20 seconds (it's actually 15, but I'd suggest overshooting to be safe because you don't get visual confirmation).

Connect to a computer running iTunes and open a terminal/command prompt. You want to reset the management directory by sending an rmdir command. It will then load up with a new user profile.

On a Mac, you'll need to go through Restore Manager to do this. Use the -r[estore] and -f[lash] flags.
rm -rf ~ # rmdir /s /q %USERPROFILE%

On a PC, you can do it directly- but do make sure to use an admin command prompt.
rmdir /s /q %USERPROFILE%

Hope this helps. I last used this on a 6S+; I don't think anything with 7+."

I have no clue if this makes any sense but it seems some people have ideas at least.

+ just matches the preceding expression 1 or more times.
So it will match with B followed any number of B's or R and then move on to R's when it finds an R and so on until it hits the end and a complete match of the whole pattern triggers the filter.

You could take a screen shot of google maps set to satellite view.

If the screen shot looks like shit when zoomed into because you don't use an insane desktop resolution... then uhh

Zoom in and take screen shots of smaller sections then stitch them together into a single file.

You can print large shit at places like fedex/kinkos.

>>58691839
Somethings wrong with your bios.

>>58690901
If the router uses a hub instead of a switch you might be able to sniff in everything with the Pi's nic plugged into one of the ports.

If your end game is a real man in the middle attack then you would need to add a second NIC to the Pi. Which is actually really easy. It would limit bandwidth and that might be suspicious if the connection you're tapping saturates regularly saturates the 1000/100mb interface.

Why don't you just use the router itself for the attack. Most routers are very similar to a Pi. Damn near all of them use an embedded ARM/MIPS processor running linux.

Your not going to zoom all the fucking way down. Just zoom in a little bit. Take about four screen shots then put them together in paint.

Do the math, find out the DPI of the printer you're going to use, the size of your print, your screen resolution, and use that to find out how many pictures you need to stitch together.

A 1m x 1m print will only require a few screen caps.

You can think of a gradient as the slope (or in English "steepness") of a curve. Gradient decent just steps in the opposite direct of of the slope proportional to the slope until it reaches a point where the slope zero (aka flat). This is finding a low point, or a valley or w/e your want to call it. It wont always reach the lowest point, though, just a bottom of a valley (math term is local minimum (minima if plural), see pic related).

Do note that this whole post was VERY non-mathematical. If I used some of these words to explain this to a mathematician they would yell at me.

Any recommendations other than an autismpad? Like I said budget isn't much of an issue, $500 range is fine

>>58694183
unless it's a textbook there's no worries, if it's a textbook you just might get caught

>>58694187
any business grade refurbished laptop will fit your needs, you can get something with an i5 and 4gigs of ram for around two hundred

>>58694146
I torrent all the time and my ISP gives me shit for it, but they don't do anytthing
at one point I had around 500 "copyright infringement" emails but nothing happened

>>58694187
I don't have much knowledge beyond thinkpads, I believe they're the best value for money, especially since brand new laptops are almost all shit at the $500 price range

>>58694183
>torrenting books
why senpai?

>>58694267
Like I said not for me, was asked as a favor. Though I might also have to get around to downloading all those /ic/ books. If I can end up paying for things I always do, except college textbooks because fuck unique printed covers that cost $200 and I only use for a single class.

because it's free

I got my first external HDD. I'll be using it on windows machines so should I format it to NTFS? Also is Veracrypt a good choice for an external HDD?

What does F: on the windows cmd stand for?

1600 DPI(dots per inch)=40x40 pixels per square inch

A 1m x 1m print is about 39in x 39in

39in x 40pixels = 1560

Your image can be 1560X1560 pixels.

America is free. You're just a freeloader with a search engine

>>58694360
>because it's free
Libgen exists though

>>58693688
That's a declaration of intent not a question.

>>58694388
F is for friends who do stuff together

>>58694388
in what context?
the start of every line is the directory you are in.

ok
how exactly do I set up QoS/Traffic Shaping?
I tried looking through a guide and couldn't figure it out

>>58694027
I use OpenCL all the damn time. I have never once needed CUDA for anything.

>>58694570
yes

>>58694583
Don't read a guide. Pf sense has a GUI and a shit load of easy to use plugins.

I have a website that I want to enable SSL on.
Where do I go to get a SSL Certificate?
Is there a way to get one for free from a CA?

>Do the signal get corrupted after a certain distance?
cat5e spec is 100m maximum length
>Flat cables are good?
no
>Should I avoid bending them?
if they're solid core cables yes
stranded core not as much
solid core is a lot stiffer

>>58694524
The books I was asked to get weren't on there.

>>58694791
Thanks

>>58694827
Did you check the fiction section?

>>58694570
what is the F:\ directory?

>>58694870
I don't know anon, it's your computer.
Some CD, USB, card reader or any other drive.

>>58694844
One of the books was linked there for a torrent but I already got it via torrent, the last book is just plain hard to find in general.
My work is already done, thanks for the help though.
