your volume is too loud or the song you're listening to has been mastered incorrectly and raised everything too high

>>58869703
only if it's heavily compressed (as in dynamic range compression, not lossy data compression)

Is there a software that would delete bad sectors on HDD, to disable those from being used?

Please point me in a Direction where I can learn this?
Thank you

>>58870200
no. sell your old and buy a single better card

>>58870212
what could i get for about $200 then (aud). Is crossfire really that bad?

>>58870226
Crossfire/SLI has never been perfect, lots of people get microstutter and some games dont scale very well.

Check the RX470 or RX480. Alternatively a 390X. Should be about 40-50% faster (around 30% with a 470).

Tho your card is still fairly good, I'd wait until summer and see what gets released, that lets you save up some more money aswell.

If you want you could just try getting that second card and try crossfire, and if the result is not good you can sell both cards and upgrade.

So I have a cron job that runs a Python script

The job runs successfully, but every time the job runs, I get the following error in /var/mail/[myusername]:

sh: sysctl: command not found

What does this mean? Even though the program runs as expected, I don't know why the error is being raised
The following is my crontab:

Guys


Do I get a gtx 980 ti for $300

Or a gtx 1080 for $500

They're both in excellent condition with box and all, the 1080 still has warranty and was purchased a month ago, I dunno about the 980 to


I know the 980 tis are super expensive right now because of limited supply, so idk if $300 is a good deal

It's for my first build. If Iget the 1080 the total cost for the PC would be around $1000 even

I don't have 4k or 1440, YET. Or VR. But I know the 1080 can handle these quite well.

Which is the better deal?

The 980 ti is still pretty powerful though, but you think that's a marked up price?


I'll just get the 1080 then, it's a blower edition which is around $620 + tax new.

I know it's weaker than the SC but it's still overkill plus can be over clocked by myself if it's ever necessary

right now i have two functions that save the current console state and reload the saved state.

in between, i am writing a bunch of characters with special attributes to the console using the below functions
WriteConsoleOutputCharacterA
WriteConsoleOutputAttribute

i can't seem to figure out how to save/reload the console state such that these characters won't stay when i reload. what information should i be saving in the save function, and what should information should i be writing in the reload function?

>>58870528
go to "tests" tab, select the "remap" option and hit start

>>58870551
you said yourself it was marked up.
just compare benchmarks.

>>58870554
did you just bend the fucking cable and take a pic of both ends of the same cable? christ man...

yes you should use all pins if your PSU has them. most times it will work with half but it can be unstable and you wont be able to increase clock speed.

i have a desktop with a 500w power supply that i'm pretty sure is the source of an annoying high pitched whine coming through my speakers

is there any way besides a wattage meter i can tell if it would be possible to switch to a 350w (it's just what i happen to have sitting around at the moment)?

what would happen if i were to swap it out and it wasnt enough, would it fuck anything up or just give me an error message or something

I use hard disk sentinel for HDD testing, it has some good tests (read only, write, read-write-read (refresh), reinitialize). Tests are locked behind a paid version, so you might wanna grab a crack from piratebay.

I was fapping and an ad got through. It said "choose the girl you want" and had pictures of 3 girls. I closed it immediately. What are the chance it was a drive by? Do I have a virus now? I'm very careful not to visit sketchy websites. This is my first ad I've seen in months.

a simple/cheap pin adapter will only work in a DVI-A (analog only) or DVI-I (digital and analog) port, DVI-D is digital only, so to get VGA from it requires a more expensive convertor box

Your Python script is presumably trying to do something involving sysctl, which is in /usr/sbin, which might not be in the PATH cron sets for it. You might be able to prepend PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin to that command line or fuck around with the script itself to fix it.

Watch lower quality rips and set your torrent client's upload speed to zero. This makes you a leech on society, but you're already torrenting shit so I assume you don't care about that.

Whats a decent AV? I've never really bothered with AV for a couple of years now, ever since I started using noscript anyways. I'm not switching from ventrilo. Syncplay lets you watch files with other people using MPC-HC, you both need the files, it just hosts a room and syncs your time and you can pause and stuff. SPV does video magic I don't understand to make shows run at 60 fps filling in the in between frames.

>>58871868
the phones were never free, you paid for them over the period your contract lasted.

so i pay $70 for a decent phone.
then i pay $35 or $40 a month so you can give me 2gb of hardly anything data.
then you tell me im getting a good deal?

First time putting a custom rom on my phone and I'm getting GApps.

Can someone tell me (in /g/'s way) which package I should get and why? Having a low google footprint sounds really nice but I do want to be relatively headache free.

I just installed my xfx rx480 and at first my display worked, but then right as Im about to install the amd drivers it cut off and now will only say "no signal" and "out of range".

you dont need to uninstall iGPU, that is only used if you plug a monitor into the mobo video output.
you should uninstall old drivers before installing the new ones.
after you done that you can try the DP again.

>>58872013
thanks. I'm new to android in general so I don't know what google apps I should strive to get. I was gonna use aroma to pick and choose but and others say I should go with mini.

What google apps should I get besides Maps and playstore (which I consider a must)

>>58872032
Thanks but I never had a GPu in the computer before so there is nothing to uninstall I think.

Should I just reinstall the drivers anyway?

>>58872043
Chrome is nice, although if you're trying to avoid google it's probably something you can live without. Otherwise most of it is pretty unnecessary

>>58872053
Not if you just installed them for the first time

>>58872053
did you install certified or beta drivers?

My phone has an option to do scheduled restarts if I so choose, would it be bad to have it restart every night while I'm sleeping?

>>58872094

>>58872105
Installed right off the amd website, the official drivers I guess.

It bugged out like this before I even installed the drivers though, I was about to and all of a sudden it killed the feed and said signal was lost.

If I restart the computer, it will display the bios screen with the displayport cord, but then as it gets to windows it cuts off.

I'm checking out a program called HTTracker which seems decent. I just wanted to know if anyone regularly did this and had a preferred program or method they know works well.

I'm a hobbyist C programmer, I've made tools I need and things just for educational purposes (rootkits, mouse driver) and I sort of want to get back into it. I'm not interested in making games (i.e. snake, xo, etc.) but want to start off with some mathematical stuff (encryption algorithms etc.). What's a good place to start and what can I use that stuff for really?

I want to buy a projector to watch movies and shit, but their internal resolution bugs me off (800X600 in most DPL ones i'm checking out). Do they look ok when upscaled to 1080p?

Which brand do you guys recommend me? how about infocus?

I have heard "MBR partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI-CSM" is the incorrect one to choose but I tried the two others and have had zero luck. All I get is a black screen with a blinking underscore which if I'm correct is a sign of no readable data from the bootable device?

Anyway, what settings do I use?

>>58872257
encryption algorithms? Check out openssl's source code. It's actually not too much of a clusterfuck once you get into it.

Hello world would be to set up two processes that send some data back and forth via a TLS connection using some good strength / exotic crypto. Then you can profile with perf to maybe optimize / break some shit, or find bugs in openssl... bugs in openssl are serious because literally all of industry uses it for their servers

Stack allocation is limiting because you can (1) only use the allocated objects during that scope and (2) it wastes memory if the allocated object needs to change in size i.e. a vector and (3) stack space is limited, for good reason.

Stack allocation is fast (no dynamic allocation overheads) and convenient (just declare the variable lol) and if you are absolutely sure that the above limitations don't hurt you, do it.

(1) is straightforward.

(2) is subtle. Yes, C exposes a lesser-known interface via "alloca" that lets you allocate a variable amount of space on the stack, so in principle you could implement a vector on the stack. However, let's say that after allocating the vector you put elements in it and need to make the vector larger. A second call to alloca() can be used to give you a larger vector, however _there is no way to free stack space allocated by alloca_ so the old, too small, vector buffer will persist until the function returns - which is probably not what you wanted. In comparison, if you had allocated the vector on the heap you could just free the old (too small) vector buffer and switch to the new vector buffer without waste.

You might ask why (3) is a thing, i.e. in the 64bit era why aren't stacks enormous, well it's because debuggers need to walk the stack and a limited stack is a good way to catch runaway infinite recursion. So, limited stack sizes are not going away any time soon => very large objects should be heap allocated.

I have an old inkjet printer from a few years back and I hate it. I rarely need to use it, so when I use it for the first time in a few months the print heads are always clogged with dry ink and I need to waste my ink to get them clean.

1050Ti is a substantial upgrade over the 660Ti. The 1050Ti can play modern games on 1080p at respectable framerates while having plenty of graphical settings turned on. At that price point, you may also consider an RX 470. Slightly more costly than a 1050Ti, but more powerful.

So, Im trying to make a serial-controlled mp3 module work but i have no idea how the chinese guys made the checksum.
I have the DFP mini (the idea is to controling it with a PIC)

here's the datasheet: http://www.picaxe.com/docs/spe033.pdf

Here's an example of the comunication

7E // start
FF //version
06 //command lenght
06 //command
00 //feedback
00 //par1
0f //par2
FF //checksum high
D5 //chechsum low
EF //FIN

datasheet says that the checksum is calculated by "accumulation and verification, minus start bit"
But im not sure what the verification means

Forums say that it's "0 - (version+command lenght + command + feedback + par1 + par2)"
but that doesn't seem to add up in any of the examples.

Examples (from the datasheet):

7E FF 06 06 00 00 0F -FF D5- EF
7E FF 06 0D 00 00 00 -FF EE- EF

>>58875379
From the review at the bottom
http://www.robotshop.com/ca/en/dfplayer-mini-mp3-player.html#Useful%20Links

the manual's examples just have the wrong checksum, presumably the writer did crappy calculations by hand and called it a day.

Your equation will produce the correct checksum, and it should just work. They provide an arduino library that does the same simple calcaultion you are doing.

My computer sometimes gets stuck in boot cycles and sometimes the display doesn't work. Whenever I turn it on one of a few things happens

a) It turns on then turns off shortly after before starting up again and either continuing or progressing to another option.
b) It turns on but the display doesn't work
c) It turns on and the display works

Some days I turn it on and it works straight away, some days it cycles a few times then works and other days I want to throw it out the window.

Once it starts up shit progresses fine until it's time to load the desktop at which point it takes its sweet time.

In addition since updating my drivers the display will sometimes crash and freeze until I reboot. Sound and programs continue to run in the background.

Initially I thought it was shit RAM and swapped that out. Now I'm suspecting shit HDD as it's 5-6 years old now.

Is it worth getting a new HDD and transferring data over or could a shit HDD not cause these kind of issues? Whatever the cause is it's relatively recent as the computer ran flawlessly for 5 or so years

If you visit their house to inspect the computer then you can see if them having a mbp is a likely scenario.

You could also ask if they still have the box.

RX470 or RX480?
Reviews of the 480 say it's better but reviews of the 470 say the 480 is not worth in comparison, this is really confusing...

>>58876880
The best one you can afford, is not like you will replace it soon.

I have a short somewhere on my motherboard, and I have no idea where it is or how to fix it. I've tested the PSU and it works fine. I've taken out the motherboard and cleaned it off, still nothing.

Did I bork it?

What difference does it makes if I use Chrome or FF? Performance and ease of use aside. What really happens if use the big scary Chrome?

You wanna avoid problems? yes.

What is exactly your problem?

My motherboard has a short on it and I don't know where it is or how I would fix it.

>>58876949
Why do you think your motherboard shorted?

>>58876897
actually what i can currently afford is the RX460 which is much cheaper, i was thinking of saving for the 470 or 480.

>>58876963
I don't know, it worked fine two days ago, then I tried to start it up yesterday and nothing happened. I did some tests and it all leads back to the board.

>>58876993
Save for 470 then.

480 is worth it but if you never have money and get caught by the "buy it later or wait for the new ones" meme you will never buy anything.

No POST, no fan spinning?

>>58877032
Nothing. Fans only spin if I intentionally short the mobo power connector with a paperclip.

>>58877022
i guess you are right, i mean, i'll probably not be losing much besides playinga few games on ultra which, to be fair, i can't miss since i've never done it anyway.

I'm getting an uninterruptable power supply for my gaming PC.

What's the real difference between PMW Sinewave and Pure Sinewave? I get that the 'wave' is different, but what's that mean for my electronics?

>>58869687
Just built first desktop, it was a super budget computer so it only has a nvidia730 in it but I thought that it would be okay for browsing the web and Netflix. Since putting it all together I noticed the fan runs the entire time the computer is on. Is this normal? The chromebook I had before this didn't do that but now I'm in unfamiliar territory.

cpu is amd 6300
motherboard is GA-78LMT

Looking for a quiet and reliable HDD to store my Chinese cartoons. Is the WD Red a good choice? Like the ones with multiple platters? I know the whole "it's only for NAS use" thing, but if it's reliable enough for a NAS, it's reliable enough for me.

how to insert a null value into a table value?
I have to insert 2 values into a table, but it might be a null, also the first value cant be duplicate, and cant be null(that mart is fixed on the input level

I was using
INSERT INTO table1 (name, TypeName) SELECT ?,?
WHERE ((SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table1 WHERE name=?) = 0);
but the 2nd value ended up being null


then tried this

INSERT INTO `table1` (name, TypeName) values (blee, null)
Where NOT EXISTS name='stuff for value1'
LIMIT 1

but the where throws error

get gpu-z

check fan speeds

install manufacturer's utility for fan control if one exists

possible they're stuck on full blast all the time?

does this happen after you turn it on, and leave it idle? i.e. log into windows and don't do anything else
