Win 10 for game mode, Steam is going to be steaming about it.

>>58828235
Install win 10. I wouldn't trust a hacked-together win 7 install on that platform.

now this really is a stupid question. I was using Visual studio to make c# programs in Windows. What do I use to make c# programs in Linux?

Just moved into my apartment and am trying to get internet. Already have the equipment but they won't let me do a self-install because of pic related and want to charge me 50$ for it.

Do they just want money or is this actually true?

what would be best budget GPU for this build?

SOmething that is good enough but not best but good enough ya know?

I will reply to myself here

I am thinking a rx 470. I'm not much of an AMD fag but it seems to have good reviews for a great price

>make kubuntu live usb
>plug in desktop
>start kubuntu
>monitors go off
>give it a minute
>nothing
>try it on my laptop
>works fine
Does this have anything to do with my 970?
Trying to Google but nothing seems to be helping and is mostly for older versions of Ubuntu.

>>58828235
I have an old machine and i am about to change geforce 460 to AMD HD6870.

Will my 400W power supply (some old Nexus) be enough?

>>58828640
I think both those cards use about the same power so yeah

I just tried installing my first GPU and broke the plastic lock-in pin. Am I fucked?

>>58828688
Yeah, that was my assessment as well aside from thinking that AMD was little lighter on power.

From the current GPU generation in the market, is there any which doesn't use aditional power from the PSU? Just plain old PCI-E supply. I have a cheap EVGA 430W

>>58828235
how can i transfer my oem windows to a new mobo? i called microsoft but they said they didnt believe that i was replacing a damaged motherboard (i actually am) . i remember one anon posted a link to a program that you put on a usb and use as a boot device to modify the os and trick it. but i forgot to bookmark.

>>58828741
gtx 1050 and some 1050Tis use power straight from the PCI-E lane

Almost done with my setup, now I just need to connect everything.

Are all ethernet cables the same? Anything I should look out for/avoid?

How the fuck can I redirect the server that delivers images, on 4chan? is2 is a piece of shit and never loads images properly.

Hosts file change? If so, what do?

>>58828436
It's bullshit nonsense. Tell them you're not paying for their infrastructure maintenance costs.

>>58828692
RMA it for a new one. Say it came broke.

If you can't do that, no, you're not fucked. The pin just locks the card in place. It has no other electronic function that I know of.

>>58828939
They also said the earliest they can get a technician out to me would be next Friday and that I'd have to wait until then.

>>58828848
1050 would be enough for recent games al 1080p right? I don't care tweaking the settings if needed to get 60 fps

>>58828961
Alright I'll do that. Thanks man.

>>58829132
i would say that the 1050ti barely makes it to 1080p at 60fps, let alone the 1050.

fuck CloudConvert and it's 25 conversion image limit. I have like over 90 .BMP images to convert into .png and shit.

Fastest way to sell used, "good" condition parts?
I don't care about profit only time, they're not worth much anyway.

>>58828607
you just might have to unseat the 970, install, and then plug it back in and see if it works then. That freaking Kubuntu live cd is a pita.

>>58830489
Put it on your yard, put a tag on it saying "for sale, $50, ring bell". It'll be gone in 2 hours, since you only care about time, not profit.

If there's an xfinitywifi access point, and your parents have Comcast, and you don't mind your Internet being unencrypted wireless, you could sign in with their credentials and use it indefinitely without issue. It doesn't even count against their transfer limit.

>>58828436
It's likely they do actually need someone to go there and flip/connect something. They needed to be let into the garage of my building for that. I was charged $15.

>>58830563
Break it up into tiny chunks you can spread across the entire timeframe, and do one each day before clocking out.

>>58830508

Guys, found a used ThinkPad for sale.

T510

CPU: Intel Core i7 M620 2.67GHz
RAM: 8GB DDR3
HDD: SSD 120GB SATA Kingston 512GB
Screen: LED 15,6” HD+ (1600x900)

No dedicated graphics card.

This is for 360€ (384 dollaroos)

Worth it?

>>58834245
you know, it reminds me the drama with 64bit systems not suporting 16bit software
microshit said that (more or less) "to run a 16bit program, system would have to translate every adress from 64b to 32b and then to 16b and vice versa which would eat up too much computing power"
microshit likes to feed people with bullshit

>>58834488

Not really. Look for x20 models, i. e. Sandy Bridge and above.

My computer has been shutting down randomly and I'm not sure why. It doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing, whether it be watching YouTube or playing a game. I know it's not a heat problem, because my temps never go beyond the mid-50's. It'll shut off and then reboot a half second or a few seconds later. Sometimes it does this twice in a row.

Could I have a failing hard drive? This is a new build but the hard drive was salvaged from an old PC of mine that died a few years back. Or could it be a PSU issue (PSU is new however, and 80+ Bronze rated)

Any help is appreciated

- Can't be sure who they are dealing with in terms of third party data access.
- Can't control who the data goes to and under what conditions if the company folds and the administrators start selling off their data assets to the highest bidder.
- Can't be certain that a legislation or governmental change will not convert that data set from an innocent online behavioral assessment to a tool to find and target perceived "enemies of the state"

I ran blackbird (win 10 privacy enabler) and it fucked something up.

Every website I visit takes around 10 seconds to open up. It's not a DNS issues, I tested with different DNS servers.
I think it's more of an IP issue.
Even doing a wget 192.168.0.1 in powershell takes 9 seconds. Same thing if I open it from firefox, a really long time.

I think blackbird fucked up one of the services. Any idea which windows service could it be?

>>58834727

btw, running the same command (wget 192.168.0.1) from xubuntu in a virtual machine with bridged adapter is instantaneous.

So that rules out a NIC problem, cable problem or router problem.

Is Ubuntu still riddled with Amazon?

>>58834760
I think so...

>>58834727
Blackbird doesn't make Windows 10 secure.

Ubuntu is far less complex than Windows. You can actually understand what the OS does and you can actually stop it from doing something.

Sure. Try to edit video, image and make music in an efficient way using Linux. You can't. I've tried switching. It's impossible because every Linux distro is just a programming machine without proper editing tools. It's shit.

>>58834852
Just because it has unnecessary complexity, doesn't mean I don't understand it. It just means I won't spend precious minutes of my life jumping hurdles that grant me nothing but the "Linux user" status.

As if you do any of these.

>Unnecessary complexity
You must be talking about Windows, Microcuck.

>>58834905
Just compare it to a fresh Windows 7 install, where the drivers are there and fit right in, for example. You can literally "NEXT" everything and voilá, it's a usable system.

I understand you.

My friend does 4k video editing and he can't use Linux for this and must stick with Windows. The programs for it are so much better in Windows according to him and he has done it for a couple of years.

You should still opt out for VM or dual booting to secure your rights. Windows isn't secure, Blackbird doesn't make it secure. Understand that You have backdoors in a hardware and KERNEL LEVEL when you use any Windows after 95. That's insane breach of privacy, security of the user.

and Windows, of the two "OSes" is the one that's needlessly complex, just a pile of shit legacy code on a pile of shit of legacy code for decades. Developlemt of Vista was a fucking fiasco where they tried to fix it but had to revert back and built it on top of XP for example.

Dear. Fucking. God child, have you ever installed Win 7?

Pic related is a HP dc7800 I'm building up for my mother, released in 2008. Whats that you were saying about "drivers are there and fit right in". This, Dell D610's, HP 2740's, all machines that were old news by the time win 7 rolled around, and all machines I need to install drivers onto when routinely rebuilding them for freebie handouts.

No wonder you find mint a challenge, you have no clue what the fuck you are talking about.

Are capture cards straightforward and sophisticated enough to route output from my cable box into MPC and upscale it onto a monitor in lieu of using a tv? Further, how is the quality of a monitor relative to a tv? I have seen implication that IPS is an inferior panel tech for tvs, but I get the impression that that is only due to black levels.

I'm struggling to decide between getting a 4k tv for upscaling and getting a 1440p144hz monitor within my budget constraints.

>>58835129
Dear god you sound autistic. Most machines, even old ones, are quite functional after installing Windows 7. Your garbage cans that you call computers seem to be a special case, and not unlike what it was installing a fresh installation of previous Windows versions.

>>58835240
Not every linux distribution has the FAT formatting tools installed by default.
Check if they're installed and try again.

Also, for a flash drive that you want to use with Windows, use exFAT.

Next thing you're going to tell me is Dell, Acer, Toshiba and HP all maintain driver download sites out of the goodness of their hearts. Why would they bother if MS is so on point with drivers? Surely MS could just roll down new drivers as updates instead of leaving it up to the manufacturers, no? And again, zero problems with mint on any of these machines. Only reason mum is getting win 7 is because she's used to it, and it's not worth the shitfit to try and change her over.

>>58835298
I've used them before on the same drive. Now it's not letting me. I was previously using it as a boot drive for Ubuntu for a friend's netbook. I formatted it completely, erasing everything on it, and then tried to format it again using gparted, and now this is happening.

>>58835299
>business models
Oh. Perhaps you should shift the blame from MS to the companies for making different (not better or more efficient) technologies for consumers and companies.

>>58835330
I've never actually used gparted before, as I just normally just fdisk + mkfs.whatever myself, so I don't really know how it works.
It's very unlikely that it's the drive itself, but you could look at another drive and see if that works.
Maybe you did a package upgrade which made the *FAT tools incompatible with gparted, or a package auto-remove that likes to automatically remove a bunch of shit you actually want (APT is known to do this).

>>58835391
>APT is known to do this
Of course it is. So how do I check that things are installed correctly? Do I just reinstall gparted?

Is asserting that Win 7 works right out of the box, I'm demonstrating that it doesn't. And again, I have never had had to install drivers for a mint install. If I'm honest, being the winbabby that I am, I'd struggle to do it.

None of this changes the fact that the cited chipsets are common as fuck across hardware of that era, business machines or not. Make what you will of the fact MS didn't think to include a generic driver for them like they do for disk and chipset controllers, but it is ludicrous to state that "drivers are there and fit right in" when they are demonstrably not.

how long can thermal paste last in packaging? I have mx-2 from 2012, it says it has 8 year durability but I just dont know it seems really liquidy for a pste

I'm trying to read an EPUB file in the Calibre reader since it doesn't show up right in SumatraPDF.
Said file mostly consists of pictures, while Calibre is clearly set up for pure text.
My problem is that I can't figure out how to make the page itself larger instead of just the font size of the text, and that I can find no way to toggle a two page spread mode, but that I can live with.

I've tried circumventing the whole mess by converting the file to a PDF, but it stops at 47% after getting there in five seconds.

What does it mean when an SSD supports encryption?
Like:
>AES-256, TCG Opal 2.0, IEEE-1667 (eDrive)

Does it mean full disk encryption is handled by some dedicated chip on the SSD?
With no performance loss, even if I put it in an old PC with a C2D?
Or should it be paired with a CPU that also supports the same encryption, for no performance loss?

I have two weird issues with my laptop, I usually try to fix shit myself but now I don't get it.
It stutters a lot, a lot. On desktops, opening programs, folders, files, playing game, etc. Even games that I could play with no problem before are stuttering.
And another thing that I've noticed is in some games the stuttering only happens when I do an action for the first time (Like picking up x weapon in Hotline Miami or shit like that).
My laptop is not really that powerful but the fact that some games that I could play fine are unplayable right now is really bugging me.

so what is wrong with the laptop ?

>>58836249

I tried just blocking the elements that it loads, but I can only make it work for that specific random number, then it just generates a new one anyways.

can i run this game?
Stellaris
http://store.steampowered.com/app/281990/

i have a laptop (LENOVO ideapad 300)

-Windows 10 64

-CPU:
Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU N3700 @1.60GHz (4 CPUs). ~1.6GHz
http://ark.intel.com/products/87261/Intel-Pentium-Processor-N3700-2M-Cache-up-to-2_40-GHz

according to cpuboss.com my CPU is better than the minimum required one, is it?
http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Pentium-N3700-vs-AMD-Athlon-II-X4-640

-GPU:
all dxdiag says is 'Intel(R) HD Graphics'
but apparently i have 'Braswell HD Graphics 405' if google what gpu goes with my cpu
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-HD-Graphics-405-Braswell-Benchmarks-and-Specs.169241.0.html

when i check GPU properties:
Total Available Graphics Memory: 2132 MB
Dedicated Video Memory: 128 MB
System Video Memory: 0 MB
Shared System Memory: 2004 MB

-4GB RAM

-DirectX 12

i understood the' Dedicated System Memory' is my VRAM and used to think i can only run games up to 128 but then i tried this game
RimWorld
http://store.steampowered.com/app/294100/?snr=1_237_querypaginated__104

it runs perfectly and it needs 384 MB of VRAM

so now from what i understand my VRAM is the 'Shared System Memory' and apparently i have 2GB so can i run Stellaris with its 1024MB VRAM requirement???


And another little question:
How come i have DirectX12 when the GPU page (http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-HD-Graphics-405-Braswell-Benchmarks-and-Specs.169241.0.html) says i can only support DirectX 11.2 ?

i will appreciate a detailed answer, i want to understand this subject and not need to ask each time i want to try a new game.

I've been trying to google this for an hour or so, but because all the terms are to generic I can't seem to find anything usefull.

I want to do something fairly simple.

Div 1 (the black box) is my header, which has a width of 100% (and a min width).

Div 2 (red box 1) is a button which needs to be alligned left.

Div 3(red box 2) contains a button and a widget section, which needs to be centered.

Somehow I can't seem to get this to work in CSS, any help is much appreciated.

>>58838409
Give the black box position:relative;, give red box 1 position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;, and give red box 2 a width:200px; or however much you need, and margin 0:auto;.

Position:relative on the black box means that any absolutely positioned elements inside will position themselves not to the document, but the first relative/absolute element, so in this case the red box 1 will be in the top left corner of the black box.

absolute positioning the red box takes it out of the normal element flow, so red box 2 can be centered normally (by making its left and right margins automatic, and giving it a fixed width) without red box 1 affecting it in any way.

I have a moto G3 that isnt working, the home button doesnt return to home and i cant factory reset it.

How do i fix it?

They all work about the same. It really comes down to how skilled you already are with programming, rather you want cutting edge or stable, and what meaningless team you want to pick.

I personally use Arch. I like pacman + the aur, and think they may be the best package manager. I also like how minimal the original install was, and that I only installed the programs I wanted (although there are definitely more minimal distros). If you know nothing, install *buntu or mint.

I am new so guess an buntu or Mint it is. Thanks, senpai.

Maybe one day I'll get to Arch.

How can I activate windows without buying a product key?

>>58842741
I emailed the guy at http://www.suctips.com/ and he gave me a product key.

Is it a cracked code? Probably. Are the FBI outside my window? Perhaps. Is it legal? Maybe. But it did work, so I will give him that.

Ubuntu. Learn to keep all your configs backed up somewhere, like in a git repository, so your current install is expendable and doesn't take any of your time. It's not worth knowing how to fix a borked GNU/Linux system if you're never going to be a sysadmin and a reinstall takes literally two minutes. So you just do a git pull during the third minute and you're back in business.

Is it possible for an anti-virus program to be infected with viruses itself? I downloaded MalwareBytes once as a pre-emptive measure after a fresh OS install, and I was immediately infected with some kind of browser stealer.

>>58843339
The installer might have some kind of malware/virus/etc in it if you didn't get it from the main site or not read through the installation window. Assholes are getting tricky because they know a lot of people just click "Next" without reading. So you might have agreed to install some bs you didn't want.

>>58843419
So I guess my next stupid question is, "is ninite no longer a trusted source?"
>if it ever was one in the first place
looks shady as shit but I've never encountered this problem before. The other thing is that I put extra effort into watching all those panels for the extras they're trying to install. I uncheck them all.

>>58843490
>ninite
Never heard of it. Looked it up. Can't say how I feel. I suggest to only install software that has been downloaded from the main developer site. For the most part anyways. If there is no main site, that one can be a bit tricky.

ok people. I have someone working for me who knows nothing about computers. Does anybody know free tutorials for complete beginners ? And i mean beginners.

>>58843806
They don't need to learn computers, just the applications they'll be using.

ok guys so omegle has a shit bot detection system
basically after a certain amount of chats in a certain time frame, it will detect you as a bot and make you solve a captcha after each chat
the problem is 75% of users are horny dudes who will disconnect on you in 2 seconds, so you inevitably have to start solving captchas even if you're just a regular user
which makes the site unusable because now you have to solve a captcha every 2 seconds
how would one get around this?

Really about the choices you have there. Doesn't Omegle let you search for people based on tags?

>>58844053
Have you tried bluescreenviewer to look at the dump files? If yes, what did you get?

What was that version of Windows 7 being passed around here? IIRC it was very lightweight and came prepackaged with SP1 but no botnet updates. Links much appreciated.

>>58844069
well there isn't really an alternative to omegle, it's the only site that does what it does
and I know that there must be something you can do because there's always this one fucker i run into on there who said he bypassed the captcha thing, but i have no idea how he did it
and yes but every tag you can think of is populated by horny dudes and bots
it's ridiculous

Do you use a Nvidia gpu? If so you might try to update or reinstall the driver. I've heard that "hal.dll" issue can be caused by video drivers or it could be a voltage related.
What stress tests did you do?
That one is tricky. Windows file. So if it's corrupted I believe the best you can do is reinstall Widnows.

>>58844450
I'm using a gtx 1080 so it may be the drivers. That would also make sense as I used to get this error while running youtube-dl. I assumed that was cpu intensive not gpu intensive while rerendering videos.

I ran the 'MSI(R) Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility'

I'm troubleshooting a Shitdows 10 workstation that has started to act up after years of good service.

The machine gets heavy use and has decided to not boot after an "unexpected store exception". I made the mistake of not getting a dump of the issue as I had work to do.

I shut down the machine (don't do this usually but for pseudotechnical reasons I thought it would help) and now it refuses to boot.

It gets into preparing automatic repair and hangs. I can't boot into various rescue utilities including an official OS CD, an unoficial windows rescue disk, and a USB rescue disk made by a the official Windows util. Yet I can get GNU/Linux live disks to work fine as well as a memtest iso.

I know this is a vague description but anyone have an idea of what could be going on that is preventing any official rescue tools from working? It doesn't make sense to me.

Currently waiting for memtest to finish.

>>58844647
I don't know what that does, but you might try three separate programs.
>prime95
Stress tests your CPU by making it check prime numbers or something like that.

>furmark
Stress tests your GPU.

>memtestx86 or something like that
Tests your RAM.

First update the drivers and see how that goes. If you still get the error, start with stress testing your GPU. If nothing, try CPU. If nothing, let the memtest run over night, or while you away and not using it for 10 hours, since it can take a while. Generally 3 passes is good enough to say the RAM is good, which can take around 8-10 hours, but it's not 100% full proof.

I'm thinking it's a software issue and not hardware issue just yet none the less. I suppose you could use furmark before and after you update/reinstall the drivers and see if you get any results.

Having some issues with chrome after today's update.

Direct link images are now centered with black background instead of the top left white background align. Colors are also way oversaturated.

Is anyone else experience this on chrome? The most I could find was an empty reddit thread.

I tried to boot into my SSD with an older version and it worked fine before the automatic update fucked it up there as well.

I started learning html this friday so far i have a good grip on whats goin on

BUT i cant get myself to remember somethings like meta bullshit

the only meta thing i can remember on the spot is <meta charset="UTF-8">

i dont have any problems with typing links, imgs, videos or audio

i made a excel document listing the things i notice im not remembering just so i can go back and check

So the question is: how the fuck i get to memorize those fucking thing i just cant get to memorize?

so annoying because i already feel like i get html for the most part and i should be starting to look into css

I have a folder I've been dumping all my mp3s in for years, is there a program to sort it all without having to go through each file and putting them in the correct folder?

is there a program that creates folders with the correct hierarchy based off the mp3's metadata?

Is there such a thing as affirmative action in the software engineering field? I know it's wrong but I'm wondering if I'm going to benefit from this since I'm a Mexican-American about to get my degree in CS.

>>58846111
Seems a lot of companies have some kind of forced diversity quota. So you just might benefit. Of course with the "big bad Trump" companies might be more willing just to "spite" him as if they are doing it out of the goodness of their hearts.

At this point I can't blame someone wanting to take advantage of such a thing as long as it's not abused.

So I've been noticing that CAM reports consistently lower CPU usage then Task manager and Resource Monitor.
I'd like to know if there is a reason for this or is CAM just shit.

Just started a new build. I had 2 hdd's, an ssd and a regular pkatter, with win 10 on ssd. When I booted, got through bios and said to insert a boot able drive or dvd. Reinstalled the 2nd drive and booted no problem. Then I ran a disc check on the ssd and on boot, got the install boot drive error again. Any ideas what is going on?

>>58847068
Grain of salt reliable. The general rule of thumb is three passes in a row and you are probably okay. But apparently with the way it works there could still be an issue even with those. Even with ten passes there could be one. Although I'd say if the memory is really that bad, it won't get past 1.

>>58847191
Makes sense. Thank you for the info. The standard test seems to be 4 passes so I will base the decision from those results. So far 0 errors so I doubt the memory is a failing component here.

The problem with the machine (before it shit itself) was that the user was constantly hitting their RAM limit and since Windows starts swapping very early the machine was constantly swapping.
This is an amateur analysis but it seems that swapping must correlate positively with software corruption compared to a machine that is only using RAM

I've had to use memtest twice and both times it returned thousands of errors within the first few minutes. Removed the faulty sticks and never had a problem since.

tl;dr repair blogpost below
I'm dealing with a strange fuckup where I can't get any official restore tools up and running from external media for some unknown reason.
Every USB/CD made by windows to get me to a network restore hangs on loading while GNU/Linux live ISOs work just fine. This is what I get for relying on baked in Winshit utils for backups/restores...

>>58847470
What happens if you connect the storage medium you have Wincuck installed on to a different computer?

>>58847536
Other operating systems as well as the BIOS recognize the storage medium on the same computer. Haven't tried pulling and mounting on another device.
Fuck ,
If I did periodic drive images I wouldn't have to fuck around mindlessly..
Can only blame my laziness
Are there people that unironically use stock Windows utils to manage things in production?

>>58847642
well, next step is to run a SMART test on the storage medium. Chances are if it's fucked then any external rescue media that is trying to interface with it gets hung as a result.
