Where does this fan cord plug into?
There's a smaller 3 pin connector, that I plugged into the 4 pin fan controller but the fan isn't spinning very fast and I can't find anywhere to plug this one into.

>>58998717
yes

>>58998718
its a molex connector for plugging it into your psu

>>58998756
It just goes straight into the psu?

no

I'm having some trouble with my dual monitor setup.

When I try to hooking them up to my gpu (R9 380) on HDMI and DP connections then run them at 60ghz not 59ghz line glitches appears.
They only disappear while I connect the DP to the GPU and then HDMI to the motherboard.
Any way to fix this so I can disable the onboard graphic?

can a veracrypt encrypted partition be shrunken?

>>58999169
JST PH connector. Have to crimp the wires in place. You could also solder the wires directly to the board that the plug goes to.

>>58999274
Try replacing the HDMI cable with a better one.

If I set my router to use wireless b rather than letting hosts select, will I be able to get any longer range out of it? One device gets spotty reception in my room and I'd like to smooth it out.

>>58999349
how fucking old is your router

>>58999362
Not helpful, but not THAT old. It does only go down to 54, which I guess is just G. Will I get range out of that or not?

>>58999345
I have Tried two different cables. Anything else?

>>58999222

it would help if we know the source of the cable

>>58999377
b and g should have about the same range
802.11b only has good range when compared to 802.11a which are both like 15+ years old

Is that sense of emptiness and sadness at the end of every day normal in webdev?

Are there any special considerations I should take into account when picking out a new case for a system with an AIO cooler, in terms of making sure it'll fit?

>>58999412
The options aren't stated as a/b/g/n/whatever. I get 54, 154, and 300 as options, all with "up to" as a part of the package. The internet it's hooked up to only does 3mbps and I don't do any files between so I couldn't care less about how fast it actually is. It also doesn't have to be an extreme difference in range.

At this point the best way to know is to try, I suppose.

can I put ssd at the bottom of drives cage? wont the 2 other hard drives I have there increase the temp of it?
I have it cooled by noctua fan thats pressure optimized

>>58999477
You can put SSD's anywhere. They aren't affected by ambient heat levels of your typical PC and even extreme cases are unlikely to degrade performance. The plastic will probably melt before an SSD has performance issues with heat.

I don't know much about TVs, I've never dealt much with them. I have an older TV, it's HD and all but it's not some fancy modern Smart TV.

For a while I've been using my PS3 for streaming stuff like Netflix and Plex, but it's dying out and I don't really have interest in getting another game console. I've been considering a Roku as a cheap solution.

The problem I have is with audio, my TV has it's own built in speakers obviously and when watching cable the sound goes out through those speakers. But my PS3 is hooked up to a pretty old surround sound system via auxiliary, with HDMI into the TV itself. I can of course plug the surround sound into the TV to have surround sound there but then the PS3 is using the TV speakers. So I leave it in the PS3 for movies and suffer the TV speakers for news and sports.

I know my way around a computer, so this is something that seems like it should be possible to me but I'm not sure. Can I set up the TV in a way that it outputs all audio through the surround sound system, so that anything connected just through HDMI will use that for audio instead of the TV's speakers? Is that something dependant on model or can any TV do that.

>>58999555
You can buy a hdmi stripper :
In HDMI A+V
Out HDMI V & coax A, Toslink A.

Search on /csg/ sites, ebay, amazon.

>>58999589
Will strippers generally introduce any display lag? i.e. would it make it difficult to use a PC properly, or play sensitive games?

>>58999589
Neat, thanks. I guess same question as >>58999614 except without sensitive game memes, I just want to watch movies.

Is it better to install 32-bit Windows OS, than 64-bit Windows OS on a machine with 4 GB of RAM?
I was told that it would be better since the 64-bit binaries are bigger in size and would end up taking more RAM, and if you don't use 64-bit applications it should be OK.

>>59000241

>itm.SubItems.Add(numberOfPages.ToString());
if it crashes before that line in your try/catch then later your
>var countTotalPages = listView1.Items.Cast<ListViewItem>().Sum(item => Parse(item.SubItems[3].Text));

SubItems[3] does NOT contain a number, so it'll throw an exception because it can't parse it, thus stopping your loop.
Your debugger should have stopped on that line when throwing the exception, did you just ignore it?

This is spaghetti code anon. Converting numbers to text and later parsing them again right away.

>>59000664
1060 isn't much different than a 480. You don't have to play beyond 60fps.

>>59000664
On release the 1060 was great. Now that AMD's drivers have matured, there's basically no reason to buy it over 480 unless you mainly play games optimized for Nvidia.

>>59000699
yeah im not one of those guys that need 100hz+ anyway (mainly because i haven't saw it before)

>>59000700
The rx series was considered because of the price however, since the monitor has gsync im probably best going for nvidia, i just dont have 400gbp+ for a 1070 rn

>>59000671
make a class that takes a path to a file, in its constructor check the pages using the library you use and fill all the properties you need.

Hey guys,

Just got a set of speakers for my PC but they came with this thing as the power source and i dont have a clue of what to do with it.

I live in Spain and i checked around the house to see if i had another charger with the same Amper outlet but i havent had luck so im stucked with this guy.

Any tips on what should i do or what adapter should i look for?

Thanks

>>59001794
Looks like its an attachment point for different types of plugs, look for another part with the correct plug

>>59001794
It should have come with an adapter. If it didn't, any power supply with the same voltage and *at least as much* current/amps should work. Where in Spain?

>>59001713
It's an init system and a collection of important userland components. The idea behind the project being to create a centralized set of building blocks for a basic Linux system, with accountability and code being in one project. This is opposed to the previous solution, which was composed of pieces developed by different people in different projects.

You will never need to look at it, you will never need to touch it, and it is of no more concern to most people than what your kernel timer interrupt frequency is, or what scheduler your kernel is configured to use.

All guides suggest you to insert the installation CD for downloading the language pack.
So I assume it's included in the ISO but doesn't get installed to save disk space.
It's needed for the cutter, because you need the korean LP for the software to work.

So the other day I posted a question about creating a linked list of nodes, pic related. I figured out how to do this in a program structure, but now I can't figure how the algorithm I need to make sure that all the nodes are reachable by any other node.

I've been looking for algorithms, but they all seem to worry about shortest path, loops, etc.

Is there an algorithm to just simply check that all nodes are reachable regardless of potential loops or how long it takes to reach them?

Thanks in advance.

>>59002652
I meant installation keys.
Unless the VL version share the same key, and in this case if I install the ENG version and try to add the east asian language, inserting the korean version would install the LP, right?

What exactly makes linux bad for games?

Please don't just say "no linux support", what does that mean? What is it that linux lacks that requires having to emulate windows?

does displayport make a difference for only 1920x1080?

>>59002812

Just depends on your use of it.

If it does, all your node are reachable.

>>59002920

>>59002812
>Please don't just say "no linux support", what does that mean?
It means that games very often don't have binaries made for Linux and to make matters worse, they're often made in DirectX, which is Windows-only.

>What is it that linux lacks that requires having to emulate windows?
Mostly it's about DirectX. It's closed source, so you can't "emulate" it just like that. I believe Wine has more or less complete support for D3D9(which actually means that it translates the API calls to OpenGL for the operating system and GPU drivers), but good luck getting anything D3D10 or later to work properly.

I'm pretty sure walmart will allow it to be returned, but are there any glaring flaws with this idea?

Is Ad Nauseam detectable by the anti-adblockers?

Since Ad Nauseam actually loads the ad, I imagine that it would be immune to anti-adblocking sites. Or am I wrong about that?

>>59003006
I dunno dude. Ask Stallman or some shit.

>>59003089
why you guys preach using chromium over chrome then

>>59002812
Windows (and its closed source packages) is the default OS that games are coded for. So it's a huge uphill battle just to make things work on Mac or Linux, let alone to reach equal efficiency. And for the developers of the game itself it's often not worth trying to support a second platform. It's kind of like how windows gets all the good malware.

>>59003120

I was playing older game that was locked to 30 fps. but my gpu only ever reacher around 500 Mhz core clock from 300 base (2000 something max)
Is it how its supposed to work on modern gpus?

>>59003269
It's so true. Bitches won't come near me since I bought such a loser screen size. If only I had had the balls to go an inch larger or smaller, I'd have so much pussy right now

>>59003310
Yes. The advertised clockrate is the maximum(or rather, the maximum sustained - the actual maximum is the boost clock). If the GPU isn't being stressed, it'll downclock itself to save electricity(which also means less noise, as less cooling capacity is needed). The same applies to CPUs as well.

>>59003310
the game only renders at most 30 frames each second, right?
if the gpu can render the game at 30 fps at a lower frequency than maximum, why would it need to switch to its maximum frequency?

>>58999274
60ghz, Jesus you would need like 100 GTX 1080's, playing on 640x480 low for that amount of fps

>>59003203
>Because closed source software is the anesthetic

Just the opposite. Closed source generates the maximum amount of pain. If you get locked into close source, you have no choices when they decide to screw you.

With closed source, there is no second vendor you can buy from, and there is no developer you can hire to fix the bugs or add the features you need. You put yourself entirely at the mercy of one company, and you become their little bitch. Buying closed source is literally like buying the services of a dominatrix. You spend the money because you want to feel the pain and humiliation.

When I turn on my computer, the fans spin up for a couple seconds and then it shuts off. If I repeat this several times (20 or so, varies greatly) it will boot ok and stay on indefinitely.

This problem has appeared every winter and disappeared every summer for a few years.

This time, once it manages to boot, it does not stay on indefinitely. It shuts off within a minute or two. Sometimes it gets to the desktop and I can use it for a few seconds, sometimes it shuts down before outputting any video.

IDK why it's saying no optical disk drive detected since I have one, though I never use it.

>>59006299
I wish I could but the motherboard doesn't support on board video.

>>59006542
>laptop with HDD
that's why.

>>59006566
Except it only started doing it after a reformat. It hasn't always done this.

What genre of music are "gaming mixes"? It's electronic music with female vocals, touted as being good for playing games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cJLtdqlNZA

Is 4chan not loading some images for other people?

Every so often I'll get an image that just wont load. If I open it in a new tab it'll typically halt at 'establishing secure connection'. After a moment I can refresh the image and it'll load. This is particularly an issue with webms. I can sometimes force them to load by right clicking and selecting 'Download Link...'

How do I make something out of my life?

>like computers as a kid
>love math in primary
>discover programming in high school
>currently first year of CS
>still doing fucking NOTHING

I feel like a retard cuz all I ever did was shitty problems for competitive programming (didnt go beyond federal level in a shitty 3rd world country) and the only application I made was a shitty .NET three-branch circuit current calculator for school, in VS.
I spent five fucking days on installing and configuring fucking Arch (fell for the meme) and I barely managed to hack up a functional system with CDM and i3wm. Can't figure out how sound drivers work, can't listen to fucking music.
I'm also depressed as fuck, socially autistic and unironically hate my family. Computers are the only thing that keeps me sane besides weed, and I'm not even good at making them do what I want.

How do I make something out of my life, /g/? At least land a job in IT or smtn?

See a psychiatrist for depression.

>>59006790
>meme advice

Memes aside, I probably will. I just don't want to bother them with my meme depression bullshit, its not THAT bad, I still function.

>>59006685
did you download all the latest drivers from Acer's website for your model?

Save money all the way to Christmas.
Do not spend it on anything else.
Then splurge on parts. With Ryzen coming out strong Intel will definitely lower prices or bump down their branding old i7 term becoming new i5s to appear more affordable.

>>59006835
>I still function
So do most people with depression.

>Whereabouts should I host it if I don't want to get in any trouble with the hosting company?
Montenegro.

>>59006767
so its not just me then? Thats good to hear because my fucking ISP has been getting flakey at night and thought maybe there was more to this situation

>>59003533
>Is there a particular reason I shouldn't update it?
Telemetry updates. If you're a goymer like the good goy you appear to be, Steam will have all the updates you need for your games because all good games package in redistributable installers without having you go to windows updates.

Someone made a userscript which served the same purpose, but I dont have it on this machine.

I agree. I miss 2006

How can I stop fonts being fuzzy & get rid of red/blue pixels?

>>59007128
buy a new monitor.

you could try fix it with one of those epilepsy things for stuck pixels but dont get your hopes up.

as for fuzzy text, are you on native resolution? cable not loose?

>>59007152
oh, thanks, i should've specified i meant red/blue pixels on fonts. and yeah i'm native. i think it's a fontconfig issue but not sure what to change.

What monitor size is best suited to 1080p? I'm thinking of replacing my old and busted 22 inch 1050 TN thing.

Also, were you aware using Goo Gone anywhere near electrical tape reduces it to a puddle of sludge that will stain everything around it? I did not know that.

>>59007319
around 22-24", anything bigger and you risk seeing invidiual pixels.

How do i disable file extensions being shown in the "save as" windows explorer dialogue window? Im on win7 btw

>>59007373
So anything from 22 to 24 is kosher? Cool, thanks.

recommend me a cheap hdd, i was gonna get a few 1tb WD black until i realised they were £70... more than im willing to pay, i hear they're reliable but even still thats too much to pay

>>59007373
desu i always believed this but on a 30-40inch tv i cant even notice pixels at regular distance. and my eyesight is 20/20

>>59007533
if your sight is average you could go higher aswell but i when you get to 27" you could start to notice it

>>59007550
2TB Toshiba for $50

>>59007580
and what distance are you from that TV?

>>59007615
Are the toshiba's reliable? its probably not going to stay in my pc for over 12 months although i want to be sure,

>>59007645

Got Win 10 and Ubuntu dual boot. What's the easiest way to uninstall Ubuntu?
