Oh no, not missing it again.
How do I utilize a surround sound setup on my computer. I can build a computer, but I know nothing of sound equipment at all.

Is this how it works?:
Yellow - the SPDIF out which I use optical cables for which will plug into the SPDIF in/Optical In on the back of an A/V Receiver*

Blue - Once that's plugged in, I just plug in a bunch of surround sound speakers into those outputs which will go to power those individual speakers?**

Green - I keep seeing battlestation setups with these little boxes which I'm told are "DACs" which throws me off because ... that's not a receiver like all these AV ones I search for on Amazon.

* - I never see anyone with a whole receiver in their battlestation which leads me to think that there's something wrong with that setup

** - where the fuck do you even buy the speakers for those outputs? "AV speakers" yield no results.

Is this the stupid questions thread?

hey /g/ is picrelated a good first computer for when i go away to college
i'm gonna need it to do online schoolwork and shit so im thinking a higher-power computer will help me do better in my classes?

>>58829431
Buy a thinkpad x200.

You are going to school to study not to play games.
For school you need a computer that can use Word, Chrome/Firefox and read Emails.
Thats it, which any laptop since 2009 can do.

>>58829431
anon, are you geniunely stupid?
Get a cheap surface pro 4 (they have discounts) or a surfave book. much more versatile due to great note-taking, decent keyboard on the s.book, and much more portable.

Just build a mITX build if you really want to game

>>58829349
Those DACs usually have amps for headphones in them. Or they buy speakers that have amps in them (powered) and hook them up to the DAC. Nothing wrong with receivers, they are usually overkill and too big for computer desktops. I have my computer hooked up with optical to my receiver.

Oi! How can I bypass this?

LOL NO you stupid faggot. Gaming laptops aren't made to last long or be very durable. You need something simple and relatively inexpensive. Something that will last 4 years, because you're a poor student. Just get something with at least an i5 and at least 8gb of ram with an ips screen.

basically I don't know any programming besides babby stuff. I have some graphs in matlab and I want to make a scroller so that I can look through them based on changing on variable. they can't be described as functions, I just have a bunch of data points essentially. what's the best way of doing this?

Hey /g/uys,

Are there any kaby lake motherboards that is mini-PCIe compatible?

Been planning on buying a new motherboard lately, but don't want to
buy a bulky looking wireless card or have one with it built in since I'm on a budget.

I already have a mini-PCIe wifi/bluetooth card from one of my old laptops. so I'm
wondering if there are any good mobos around that can use it.

Any suggestions?

i just installed an i7-4790k, upgraded from an i5-4430. I'm using the stock fan that came with it, on the most CPU intensive game I have (BF1) it frequently hits 67-70 degrees at ~60% usage. Should i consider getting a non-stock cooler?

>>58829669
go to newegg and you can filter by features in the left column

>>58829671
Yes.
More if you ever plan to overclock it.
Get a 212 EVO or X.

Noctua NH-U12S or 14S if you want to get into heavy overclocking.

Nobody gives a fuck about your pasta or your dwane. If you want to make the thread a certain way, do it yourself

>>58829846
They make adapters, btw.

>>58829840
After the update, does it support all of kaby's features, like powersaving?

>>58829846
that's nice but what you gonna do for an antenna? haven't even considered that have ya

>>58829836
thank you for your anecdotal evidence (tho assrock does suck ass)

>>58829846
yeah go ahead and lock yourself into some stupid mobo when you could just buy an adapter that you can re-use later if you upgrade

>>58829849
enjoy answering retards that are too lazy to spend 30 seconds looking up their issue before coming to you

>>58829846
Signal would be shit since you still need an anntena.

Case would block signal.

>>58829863
no idea. just stop being a tard and buy a fucking z270 mobo plus adapter instead

>>58829872
yeah cause people totally would google it instead of asking their question if some copypasta told them too

>>58829846
>>58829863
mobo might not even support wifi thru that port.

I have a B150 motherboard running on KabyLake

I'm having some issues and was thinking of downgrading the BIOS to the previous version, both the newest and the previous support KabyLake.

Is it safe for me to do it using the KabyLake or could it become incompatible all of a sudden and require a Skylake?

Must repeat, both current and previous support KabyLake

>>58829906
maybe not but there's more than that in the pasta if you took more than a second to look at it

Two questions Linux distros related.

Apparently I installed the LTS release of Xubuntu 16.04.1 on my laptop. I kind of want to switch to the non LTS version but
>how do I do this
>how difficult is it to install the new versions every nine months or whatever
Do I just have to backup everything and do a clean wipe?

I'm trying to find a KDE I want to use. Was trying to use Kubuntu but it won't boot properly on my desktop(screens go into power saving mode), but will on my laptop. Any fixes I've tried haven't worked. So not too sure if I'll want to use it if it can't even boot up a live cd(usb). But I tried Mint Serena which is also KDE. Booted just fine. Can't tell much of a difference on the visual side besides Mint's default was darker and the background was different.
Is there some big difference between Kubuntu and Mint?

>>58829924
yea but that's the thing, no one takes more than a second, people want to be spoonfed

I have an Early 2011 MBP. I upgraded the RAM, replaced the battery, and am about to drop some $$$ to upgrade to an SSD. Is that unwise to do on a computer which is this old? I dust the inside of it pretty regularly and have no problems with hardware outside of a slightly wobbly screen. I assume I should replace the screws in the casing as they will rust, no?

Almost definitely not, unless you downloaded big_animu_dick.mp4.exe. Did you just connect to that network while out and about one day? Windows is probably just detecting it again for some reason.

>>58830169
Hey, fuck you I see people upgrading to SSDs on "6 year old crapbooks" all the time

>>58830177
Nah, I don't bring my laptop anywhere, and I don't recognize the name.

>>58829955
It's fine. Even on modern laptops you have to update to an SSD for optimal speeds.

As for the screen, probably okay without updating

What exactly is the screw/bolt called in pic related? It's used in LGA 1156/1155/1150 motherboards, tried looking up 'motherboatd socket screw' and a bunch of other names but I can't find it.

So I should still get my money's worth out of an SSD despite being 6 years in now?

>>58830292
by blasted out of this world, i mean it got ddosed multiple times and rumors of fbi shit now.

>>58830305
Totally. I can't speak for your exact situation, but for my 5 year old desktop that was on 24/7 for at least a year, an SSD was a good investment. Faster boot time, and files didn't take a fuckton of time to open.

Also, when you finally get a new laptop, you can transfer the SSD over.

I know it's a torx screw but any details on what to look for in a hardware store?

My friend has a similarly big heatsink like that. I believe there was a way to re-position the heatsink so it didn't get in the way of the ram. Does yours not do that? If you have the one in the picture then I can see the clips. They should be able to come out of the heatsink, and be able to move to the adjacent sides.

Hey guys, brief question here.

So I'm going on a site, and 60% of the time, when you just click anywhere on the page, it goes full on gay and reroutes to some stupid ad shit.

My adblocking settings cause it to just go to a blank white page asking if I want to continue, and I always have to go back to the previous page and return to what I'm doing. This is extremely fucking irritating and I was able to locate this element.

<script>
var _wm_settings={popunder:{url:"http://adrunnr.com/?placement=401444&redirect",times:3,hours:6,cookie:"expla2",fastbind:true}};
</script>

Any chance someone could tell me what I can do to remove this script automatically each time I visit the page?

Thanks!

If you care about such things, you should just uninstall Windows. What's keeping you there?

I host a web server, and I use www.noip.com so my friends don't have to remember my IP address. Is this any less secure than having a regular domain name? This might be an extra stupid question, but I'm just paranoid.

>>58831743
Get to know C and assembly. Deeply understanding how these two languages manipulate memory will unlock almost every class of attack against native programs (as opposed to, say, SQL injection), and allow you to better understand the operating systems you'll end up in.

>>58831816
There might be a point where your IP changes and is re-assigned to another customer, but your computer hasn't updated the no-ip entry yet.

This is to be honest an issue with dynamic IPs and DDNS in general, though. Without asking your ISP for a static IP there's little you can do about it. (Though if you can get to genuinely technical support rather than a call centre drone, many ISPs will give you one).

>>58831896
They have a program that checks when your IP address changes and updates it on your account page. Pretty handy.

>>58831950
Yes, but it only runs once every couple of minutes, and in the time in between, people going to your no-ip will be redirected to someone who can impersonate you.
It's unlikely, low-risk, and it's intrinsic to DDNS, but that's the way it is.

I bought a refurbished laptop and it came with a windows 10 key sticker with part of the key concealed.

I haven't even revealed or entered the key yet but windows 10 is already activated. Is it already activated with this key or is it some other key? Should I still bother entering my key?

Are there any battery savings to be had by using older audio codecs on smartphones? Currently I store my music as Opus, but I got the idea that my phone might consume far less battery if I moved to an older codec like Vorbis or even MP3.

If i bought a new hdd and installed a new operating system into it while my old operating system is in my old hdd but its still connected to my computer.

So in essence i have two operating systems in two different hdd connected to the same computer. Will the computer ask me to pick which operating aystem i want to boot everytime or will it do something else?

If i install a portable operating system onto a usb and plug it into a school computer during boot up is it possible to boot up my operating system before he schools operating system?

>>58834391
You can press F12 or whatever for boot menu every time, or set up a bootloader like GRUB for multiple hard drives. Sometimes Windows bootloader refuses to work if a drive is removed.

>>58834408
How can i safely delete the old operating system without wiping my entire old hdd?

You can do that if USB drive is selected as boot device or default first. Any competent IT department will have those options locked to prevent that. Quit screwing around and do your assignments. You have computers at home to play with.

I think gnu shred can target individual partitions, but most Windows installs have the OS and data on a single partition. You can delete the individual OS files if you don't need to boot it and plan to only access the data from another OS. This is assuming your disks aren't encrypted. You'd know if they were.

>>58834435
Google product key finder or windows product finder or microsoft office product key finder and install it onto your college computer

>>58834416

Alright guys I plan on going ballistic on my ISP soon because I am 90% sure they are ripping me off but I know they will try to make excuses to try to rip me off even further. So I come to you for tech related advice to be sure they are ripping me off and so I can argue with them properly.
Here is the deal.
My internet is 20/1.5 Mbps which should translate to 2.5 MB/s and 187 kB/s download and upload speeds.
It was working at a 1.4 MB/s and 100 kB/s speeds till I called there the first time after which they raised it to 17/1.2Mbps or 2.0 MB/s and some 140 of very unstable kB/s.
Now, I would like my full speeds. But they will use the following arguments:
1. I keep uploading and downloading a lot (because I am on a skype call pretty much all day long) so basically they say my internet is "congested" and that is why it is not going as fast as it should.
2. The maximum speeds are only theoretical and that is why it does not go the full speed as it should.
Now, for argument 1, it is rubbish right? My internet is completely limitless, not even a fair use policy so I can download and upload to my hearts content as far as I know. Downloading and uploading a lot cannot congest the tubes right?
And for argument 2, first of all it is I think air transmitted internet but the transmitter is like 150m away from our house on a very high place with literally no obstructions and the weather is perfect as well. And what is more, when they were testing the internet before they increased it to 20/1.5, I was getting the full 20/1.5 speeds that I was supposed to. In fact, I never even went over the 2.0 download speed so I am 100% sure they capped it at those speeds.
So basically my problem is that I believe they have capped it to the speeds it is at now and I need to be able to make them uncap it and for that I need to know that these two arguments of theirs don't hold any ground.

>>58835115
It's advertised as "up to" and you don't have any service level agreement. You probably can't have your government force your ISP to do anything.

>>58835181
check your agreement and see what's the guaranted speed (not the advertised one but minimal). if it's lower, then you can sue them
i used a 80mbps internet that had a guaranteed 20mbps. it barely went up to 30 so there was nothing i could do

>>58835181
But the problem is that they are literally limiting it. In that case, why don't they fucking say that the speeds can reach UP TO 1 GB/s but they only give you 2 MB/s speeds?

>>58835115
Another thing that happens is that when I test my speed or start downloading something the speed shoots up to the maximum speeds as they should work but after few seconds it goes back to the limited speed.

>>58835204
I am not sure if such a thing is even in the contract. But basically I plan on threatening to change ISPs if they keep doing scummy things like this but I just need to be sure that their arguments are rubbish and they are actually artifically limiting my speeds.

All of a sudden a bunch of things are bold in my chrome - all of the links in google search, the "I'm not a robot text", etc. What's causing this and how do I turn it off?

>>58835222
it should be in the contract. if it isn't, that's also a base for sueing

I fixed it by uninstalled a bunch of custom fonts that EVGA Precision installed. They've been installed for a while so I don't know why it would affect it now.

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.

>>58835257
I don't want to sue them. I just want my full speed. I know it can work full speed because it did before. But now they limited it. I need to be sure that that is what has happened and that none of the bs they say is true.

>>58835435
Call them up, raise hell, and threaten to switch to Comcast or something.

If you don't have any hobbies, start on one.

>>58835435
call them and use the money argument. should work

>>58835445
>>58835458

But I am right, right? Downloading/uploading a lot has no effect on the speed that I should have and neither can it be because of external factors like bad weather or too much distance and whatnot.

>>58835463
>Downloading/uploading a lot has no effect on the speed
this is correct
>neither can it be because of external factors like bad weather
this is correct for wired transmission (unless there's a fucking end of the world) wireless transmission might be affected by air
>or too much distance
this actually might slow down or even generate errors and needs additional testing before you can tell for sure

My laptop battery died and I got a new one. The seller told me that I must let it charge for 3 hours while the laptop is off and then use it without plugging it in. Is what he says true? How do I maintain it

>>58835725
Using the laptop while the battery charges is fine, but you should disconnect it once the charge is full, use it until it drains again, then plug it back in.

>>58835739
Until it drains to zero? But I thought that draining the battery below %50 would decrease its lifespan? What about first time charging?

>>58835785
Not completely, when battery is low or whatever.
Just don't have your laptop plugged in while the charge is full.
Take off the battery if you want and remain powered by the charger in that case.

How much current is my smartpohone drawing from my PC when I'm charging it via a usb cable?

No.

>>58835812
Thank you

>>58835709
Well as for the second and third, the weather is perfect, the transmitter is 150m away from the house and as I was saying when I actually start downloading something it goes the full speed for a few seconds and then kind of gets throttled to a maximum of 2.0 MB/s not to mention that when they were testing the speed increase prior to increasing it, it was working perfectly with the full speed.
Thank you for your answers mate.

Electric cars have the top and bottom 10%-15% of your battery unavailable. You can only move between 10% charge and 90% charge, which become the new 0% and 100%. You should do the same with your laptop. Don't let it go below 10-15% and don't let it charge more than 85-90%. That's the gist of it. There are more technicalities, but fuck them.

Ans yes, I know what some of you will say, you can opt to get the uncapped batteries in electric cars and use their full potential, but fuck that shit.

And as I have said, when they were testing it it worked flawlessly and now suddenly it doesn't.

>>58835725
the first time you use it you should do that, doing a complete charge and drain cycle lets the battery calibrate itself
you don't need to do it constantly, of course

>>58836128
Okay. Thank you

>>58835739
>>58835725
That's true if the battery was made BEFORE 2010.
The first time you use a battery, do a complete charge then discharge cycle.
after that it doesn't matter.
when you plugged your laptop to an outlet it will use the AC power only when the battery is fully charged, only when you disconnect it would start using the battery.

>>58836239
Not necessarily.
Is your battery / laptop made after 2010?
If so charge it to 100% on /off doesn't matter.
Then let it drain to 0%
After that charge it and continue to use it.
Repeat every 6 months or so.

>>58836255
I'm not sure when it was made but it's a Li-ion however my laptop is pretty outdated

>>58836299

http://ark.intel.com/products/87261/Intel-Pentium-Processor-N3700-2M-Cache-up-to-2_40-GHz

-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.

Unless your device manager throws up a red flag, you probably don't have to install anything manually

Just to piss you off and make you feel older

Because that's how Firefox has done it for years and it's miles better?

Top left on white background is Internet explorer-tier shit

I need to make a very simple app for Android, just for me to use. I have this project where I need to record a timestamp every time I press the volume up key which will save a line to a text file like DATE HH:MM:SS and maybe milliseconds too but not mandatory.

I also need to have a secondary action when I press volume down which will save the date and all but adding the word success.

I already know low level programming and scripting but I don't really want to learn java to do this shit. Is there any easy app maker that will let me do this?

Thank

I want to add additional HDMI inputs to my raspi. I want to connect pick related to it, but don't know from which Terminal Block pins to attach to the recieving pins on my Pi.
DiY splicer/ multiple signal in-> one signal out with Pi controlling the switches

Shit man, what do you mean?
Even if you're max dumb, it's only 16 characters to memorise, and 10 of them are 0-9. Can you not remember that A, the first letter of the alphabet is 10, etc, to F for Fifteen?

Perhaps I'm missing the point and you're obliquely asking something else.
