I wanna learn R and Python from scratch. Where should I start? I don't have much trouble understanding the work of functions and different syntaxes, but I'm completely clueless as to R and semi-clueless as to Python.

Another, less important question - what's so hard about fizzbuzz? It feels like it's somethng you can do after 30 minutes of learning to anykey in any modern programming language. Is fizzbuzz being hard a meme or is there some sort of complicated optimization subtext I'm not aware of because I'm a normie?

>>59226308
Clueless, as in I haven't started learning them yet. Not as in I can't understand what's going on.

Not -that- stupid.

>>59226186
>>59225504
Pretty sure it qualifies as a stupid question, but this is the second thread I make and no solution works.

im using mkvtoolnix to remove the jpn audio tracks from a series, once i add all the files and enter the settings, starting the job will cause the files to be processed and saved as one file (for example, episodes 1-8 are all saved as a single file titled "episode 1.mkv" with a size of 4.3GB, each file is no larger than 500mb).

how do i stop this? ive got 51 episodes i want to batch process, can any other software can do this job?

>>59226367
Launch it and the application you're trying to record in admin mode. It's dumb as fuck but it fixes 95% of these problems.

Also, what are you trying to capture?

>>59226397
Already tried the admin thing. Didnt change anything.

What does it mean when a website doesn't return anything? Not even an error, the tab will load for like 1 or 2 minutes and then nothing changes, I'm still in the same page I was before. What's going on?

What should I look for in a motherboard besides number of PCI slots, USB ports, fan connections, etc.

As I am looking right now there doesn't seem to be a lot of difference between a 100 and 300$ mobo beside one having RGB lights and buzz words.

Cryorig H7

I've read about the newi7s getting pretty hot under load.

I was thinking of getting a Corsair H105 liquid cooler.

/g/, I'm looking for a way to force registry changes to take effect without needing a restart.

Specifically, I'm making changes under HKLM/System/Control/Security Providers/SCHANNEL and having to reboot every time I want to test a change I've made is kind of a pain.

But I noticed that one of the servers I made a change on, the change took effect without rebooting a few hours after it had been made. So I'm assuming there's some service that runs every so often to look for changes, and I just need to find that and run it manually.

This was on a machine running Windows Server 2008 R2, but I'm also working on applying this fix to 2008 Standard.

>>59226929
I just read that too. Maybe it got loose? I'd check the connection between the cooler and CPU.

Then just turn off hyperthreading if it worries you. Games don't use more than 4 cores, unless there are some out there that do.

>>59226967
are you trying to affect IIS?
IIS is a service, you can go into services.msc and restart it from there, or run "iisreset /restart" from command prompt

>>59226971

I think the H7 is just a little underpowered for an i7.

You really need a higher end cooler more than $50. I won't bother buying a new cooler until I actually feel the need for HT now that I think about it.

>about to buy my first tablet
>basically going to use it for comfy Youtube watching and .pdf reading

Looking at the Lenovo TAB2 10.1" due to the size and lower price. It's much cheaper for 1GB RAM, but is that still enough to smoothly watch Youtube on these things?

>>59226186
Cant you just disable extra cores/threads in Ryzen to make it faster?

>>59227050
Yes.

>>59227045
If you plan to do any sort of text entry, a convertible is going to be way better. I've owned a few tablets before, and they're annoying because you have to hold them up while watching video and typing on them is worse than on a phone because you have to hunt and peck instead of using your thumbs. With a convertible or a cheap netbook, text entry is WAY better and watching videos and stuff is more convenient because you don't have to hold the device to get it to stand up.

>>59227093
I don't plan on using it for that, I'll just use my laptop/desktop for work.

That's a fair point about holding it, I'll look into a stand or something for it. Any recommendations for convertible tablets though?

>>59227012
Yes, this might be just what I needed. Thank you!

Looking at wikipedia it seems like it does control things like SSL/TLS. I'm assuming restarting IIS will lead to a brief loss in connection to the server, but it will still be a hell of a lot faster than restarting the whole thing.

Oh, I already know I'm not. And I've mentioned that a couple times to people above me.

But I've been put in kind of a shitty position where I'm the only one who's going to work on it. So I've gotta figure it out as I go along one way or another.

It's that, or quit, or let a deadline pass... and honestly, I suspect if I quit, they'll just ignore it until they're in hot water over it.

Why would I bother using pointers and polymorphism when I need to store the instances somehow anyway in order to reference them?

Making a game as part of an assignment, with tiles. I was planning on making each tile class a child of the base Tile class. the problem, is that when I was trying to iterate through and render them they were sliced. Why bother going balls deep in storage just to polymorph when it's easier to cut it out (in this sitch I guess)

As far as I can tell my sata controller is failing.

Three of the six ports either don't detect drives or they disappear from the system shortly after booting.

How do I fix/replace it?
Or is it new motherboard time.

you could probably fix and find parts for that but it would be a hassle
if your board isnt a super high end thing id just replace it.

>>59227270

My computer seems to be only using half of my RAM, despite it detecting the full 8GB. My motherboard is an Asus M5A97 R2.0, and in the bios it's only detecting the same amount of RAM, despite detecting both RAM sticks. I can see that Windows says that 4.1GB is hardware reserved, so how can I fix that?

>>59227981
put a bandaid over camera, disable microphone in device manager or whatever the fucking shit linux has for hardware management, or remove it

semi tech question here

What are some good LED light bulbs to get that don't cost a ton? I want less heat and to save monies from them.

>>59228302
Try putting your RAM in dual channel. Should be color coded, put the two in the same colored slots.

That's what I've done, and I've tried both colours. Same result.

is there a way to debloat an s7? ive looked into it a bit, but im too cheap to pay for the package uninstaller or w/e that is recommended a lot, and everything else i see is a script or something that disables 3/4 of the stock software and apps. im only looking to remove some stuff i dont use, like weather, instagram, etc. is there a way/app that will let me select certain things to remove without rooting?

>>59228391
just root it, it is not difficult and their are plenty of tutorials

>>59228347
They pretty much inherently cost significantly more than CFLs for ordinary houselamp brightness levels. They use less energy, but not enough less to pay off the cost difference.

Unless you plan on installing them somewhere where changing bulbs is a royal pain in the ass (and therefore want LEDs enormous durability), you should just stick with CFLs.

suppose I want to safely access my e-mail, the best option to do it is through a live usb GNU/Linux distro like Qubes or could I just open VirtualBox and use my GNU/Linux virtual machine? considering I'm using Windows, I don't really know if it's safe to use the VirtualBox

>>59228451
Well if you don't trust the host operating system, you can't trust any VMs running on that host. The host or hypervisor has absolute control over everything a VM does. It can suspend the thing at arbitrary points and dump or modify its entire memory space.

But thinking about this at all is getting a bit ahead of yourself. You need to be more specific about your threat model. What are you trying to defend against? Malware? Ad tracking and telemetry? Government dragnet surveillance? Government targeted surveillance? Who's your provider? Do you trust them? How are you securing the network link in between you and them? Just TLS? A VPN? (from who?) Tor?

>>59228391
Why not just flash a custom ROM?

>>59227798
New mobo time.

>>59228492
Well CFLs don't emit a lot of heat either. It's incandescents and halogens that emit a lot of heat. In any case the amount of heat a bulb will emit is equal to its actual power draw. Since every watt that goes in either winds up as heat, or it winds up as light which gets absorbed by what it shines on, causing them to emit the energy as heat.

>>59226186
is there ever an instance when it is actually useful to allow assignment operators inside an if statement? couldn't you just tell the compiler to flag something that looks like this?

>>59228445
>They use less energy, but not enough less to pay off the cost difference.
They pay off the cost difference through longevity not power consumption. You are right that it is a bit of an investment now for something that would only be rewarding over almost a decade of use.

>>59228347

>custom ROM?
because i havent done anything like that in a few years, last time i did it was when the s2 or s3 came out and i got it. ive tried looking into it a few times but xda has shitloads of stuff and i just get lost trying to figure out where to start so i dont end up using files that arent meant for my specific device

>>59228606
Oh, I just saw some that were expensive on newegg and such.. But yeah I am sure cheaper at stores. I'll look at prices. Just seemed like some were double the price of normal LED's but perhaps just a jew hike like best buy etc

How to install ungoogled-chromium on openSUSE?

Why can't CPU and GPU reviewers compare the new hardware with past generation hardware as well as current gen competition? If I'm looking at Ryzen benchmarks I want to see comparisons not only against Kaby and Skylake, but Haswell as well. It would at least give the majority of people right now a good baseline for comparison. Nobody with a Kaby or Skylake CPU is going to upgrade. It's going to be people with the 4690k CPUs and the 3570k CPUs.

>>59228533
first, thank you for answering

I actually just want to make it a good habit so I can fortify my privacy, in a sense I'd say that would be defending against telemetry, keyloggers and ad tracking yeah

I'm neutral about my provider, I don't trust them but I think I don't care this much anyway; that's why I'm not "securing my network link between me and them"

>>59228653
That's pretty much the reason. Like this idiom is pretty common:

while (x = get_next_thing()) {
do_something(x->data);
}

Then get_next_thing() can just cough up a null pointer when there are no more things to get.

K&R does this. Here's the minimal strcpy implementation they give:

void strcpy(char *s, char *t) {
    while (*s++ = *t++)
        ;
}

>>59228704
I just checked the prices of a local supermarket. CFLs are $5 per bulb and LED are ~$7 per bulb.
Considering LEDs last about 3 times as long as CFLs there does not seem to be any good reason for sticking with CFLs.

Personally I still have a couple lights using halogen bulbs just because I could not find any LED/CFL that were dimmer compatible.
I also keep a halogen in a desklamp I use at my work space, I like to imagine the extra heat from the light dries my glues quicker and stops solder from hardening too quickly.

From what I read, moore's law say that computing power doubles every 18 months. If this is the case why do we still have processors at 3-4ghz when they same speeds existed years ago.

>>59228805
yeah true. price is no issue. also I just read about halogen bulbs leaking mercury and such.I just moved into a new place so thought of just getting new ones and such

>>59228505
Yup, just reinstalled Windows to see if that might help, still the same error.

>>59228852
The LEDs you saw on newegg might have been fancy ones like philips hue. I cannot think of any other reason for them costing so much.

For uni I'll be taking an intro to database course. I've talked to the professor to see if I could get a better grasp on what we will be covering. He said its not going to focus on one thing like MySQL but instead focusing on the fundamentals of how databases work and how to manipulate them.

My question is what can I do to prepare myself for this course? Does anyone have any experience working with databases that could give a beginner a tip? Obviously I'm doing some research on it myself but someone like a dba's input would be really helpful.

>>59228725
as far as I know no distro packages chromium with the ungoogled patch set, so you get to go compile it yourself. The inconvenience of doing this is one major reason I put up with Firefox, where at least I can turn off the botnet my just maintaining a user.js file.

>>59228753
Well it certainly wouldn't hurt to get in the habit of doing your browsing in a VM. Although the host pwns the VM, the reverse isn't true, so if something bad happens in the VM, it stays there, and you can just build a new one or revert to a snapshot. (Yeah yeah, there's VM escapes, but those are rare and very very difficult to us)

Privacy settings are mostly about your browser. Ghacks has a privacy guide for Firefox. Chromium yaks to Google and there's nothing you can do about it other than compiling it yourself, see above. Use addons like uBlock Origin and uMatrix. You can go a lot farther if you want.

Remember also that your mail provider can always read your mail, unless you encrypt it yourself locally, with PGP or GPG or the like. The hardest part of using those is persuading your correspondents to use them.

>>59228830
Moore's Law died ten years ago, that's why. Well, it didn't in the sense that we keep getting more transistors, but we ran into a clock speed and thermal wall, so now the only way to use them is moar coars. And software is still poorly parallelized because concurrency is hard.

Enjoy not having to upgrade every year or two.

>intro to database
You'll spend a week or two covering the general principle: spreadsheets and accessing/editing methods

Then you'll have increasingly dense labs and shit that ask you to do more things. The first might have you make a short database and pull out values, soon after you might sort the database, then process the database based on some thing (i.e. moving people who have element X=foo to database Y)

It's going to be like any other course, presumably

I'm dualbooting windows 7 and Manjaro.

Is there a way to somehow make a virtualbox/virtualmachine that runs the Manjaro install?

I just often find myself needing to go from one to the other for a short while and rebooting just interrupts the workflow. I don't want to have an actual virtual machine because the performance stinks and I do profiling too often in either OS to ignore that on one of them.

Mine gets up to 70ish while gaming with an H50. I had the shit at stock speeds and the retarded Asus mobo was overvolting it despite disabling all the OC shit in BIOS, so I applied a -0.08 vcore offset. Runs a bit cooler, even under a FPU stress test.

I want a virtual machine that runs my copy of he OS. It's still a virtual machine in execution obviously. It'd just be a virtual machine pretending to be my actual computer.

>>59229018
I haven't looked into it. But I'm a bit concerned with actually trying to make a virtual machine perform as native when I profile my code quite a lot. And it doesn't actually make sense to try since I'm gonna have an OS run the virtul machine which I'm profiling on. Thee's no way that won't impact my application. And I can't keep the two filesystems separate (i.e. one native install of linux, one native windows and one virtualbox) because that kinda defeats the purpose a lot of the time.


If I could create a virtual machine and tell it "use this native filesystem instead of the regular fs". Without it corrupting things that'd be great.

This whole new shitstorm about the upcoming AMD cpus, for someone who's only into gaming with a run of the mill high end self built PC, does it even matter for people like me?

Like, I understand there will always be at least minor performance increases, but from a pure game related view, does one even need anything better than something like an i7 4790k or an AMD equivalent without getting diminishing returns?

>>59229135

Not enough precision then unless it's absolutely linear.
>explain what you want better.
I want an OS install I can both boot natively and virtually inside another OS.

Suppose I could get another computer and just run vnc or similar. It'd be nice to not have to buy another computer though.

>>59229161
The idea is that the newer, more specialized hardware (in conjunction with yet-to-be-produced software) will make budget GPUs and CPUs as effective as existing mid-to-higher end units at launch.

>>59229161
Well, it matters in the sense that competition seems to have forced an Intel price cut.

Hang around for a while while we see more benchmarks come in. You're right that most (not all) games run into a GPU bottleneck before a CPU bottleneck. AMD's releasing Vega cards in a few months, see how those do.

>>59229151
I thought xposed was known for causing odd problems and shit. Tried taking that out?

>>59229219
Hmm I suppose I could try disabling xposed and try taking a screenshot. If that is the cause though I'd rather have screenshots be annoying than get rid of xposed. I have a hunch it could be something with the debloat rom because I've had issues in the past with those, but this one was way more thoroughly tested it seems and haven't had any other system bugs due to the wrong thing being removed. Thanks for the lead though, will try that.

>You kinda sound like a douche.
Because the results aren't satisfactory I'm a douche?
I don't care about the actual performance result (90% is enough). The problem is that since we have 10% less performance I have 10% of factors I know nothing about to account for. And that inaccuracy is too much for me to get meaningful profiling statistics. It's unworkable.
>windows 10s hyperv
I'm not sure you understand the issue here. I'm not the best at explaining.

2 questions:

1. If I right-click a batch file (.bat) and run as administrator, can I assume that every command in that .bat is being run the same way as it would if I had typed it, into a normal elevated command prompt?

i.e, permissions granted to programs to write to protected directories.

2. How do I set the administrator password on windows 7? I tried this to launch my original bat file as admin with a second .bat:

runas /noprofile /user:mymachine\administrator yourbatchfile.bat

which prompts me for an Admin password different from my user account (which of course has admin privileges).

An Information Technology Security conference is coming up in a couple of days and it's the first one I've ever been to.
So here's a couple of questions I can't seem to find answers for.

As someone who only interns as a developer, am I gonna seem out of place?
Am I gonna find alot of answers as far as educational progression and career advice?
Should I bring copies of my resume just in case?
What's the normal attire for these events?

Is it worth upgrading from an i5-4690k? If I keep my motherboard, the best CPU I could get is an i7-4790k for $330, but I hear gaming performance won't be much better at all. Otherwise I would need to buy a new motherboard and RAM on top of a new CPU. That's like a $600 endeavor.

>>59228048
Also remove speakers to keep them from being used as microphones.

>>59229406
>As someone who only interns as a developer, am I gonna seem out of place?
If you dress well, you will blend in just fine.
>Am I gonna find alot of answers as far as educational progression and career advice?
If you ask the right questions after buddying up to the right people, you probably can, but it doesn't sound like the conference is about careers.
>Should I bring copies of my resume just in case?
If you want. Anyone there who you start a conversation with about employment is probably going to want you to email it to them instead of having a paper copy.
>What's the normal attire for these events?
There's nothing wrong with being better dressed than expected. I don't know where you live, but a tie wouldn't hurt. A trendy sweater is probably fine, but leave your hoodie at home.

>>59229406

>As someone who only interns as a developer, am I gonna seem out of place?
Yes and no: ask questions to vendors you find interesting, use your experience to better understand how their solutions actually work
>Am I gonna find alot of answers as far as educational progression and career advice?
Not likely unless a speaker focuses on that (unlikely if the conference isn't focused on that) or a vendor wants to help. Be aware vendors are salespeople trying to sell a product
>Should I bring copies of my resume just in case?
Yes but don't be a sperg about it and give everyone one. Many of the presenters get fist fulls of resumes each time they speak. If you want to give someone a resume make sure you have at least initiated a conversation that will give them a good first impression of you. There are recruiters there and the good ones won't tell you that they are recruiting
>What's the normal attire for these events?
Business casual: a polo shirt, dark jeans, nice dark shoes, a watch, a good pen if you have one. If you have facial hair try to limit it to about half an inch long.

Good luck anon. I hope to be doing what you're doing soon too.

>>59229303
>I'm not sure you understand the issue here. I'm not the best at explaining.
Well if you can't articulate it, I don't see how you're ever going to do it. Take another stab

>>59229407
Depends entirely on why you want to upgrade.

>>59229407
Give it another couple years unless you need the hyperthreading for something

For a while now I've been using an eGPU setup with my Thinkpad and a desktop PSU/GPU, and now that I've got enough money, I'm building my first fully-fledged desktop PC.
So, I was wondering: is there any precautions or things I should look out for when transferring the PSU/GPU to the new setup? They both work completely fine, I'm mostly asking 'cause I'm paranoid of the PSU completely frying my system or something like that since it's been in use before.

Also, Pcpartpicker says my setup would use 302w of power, so 500w would be more than enough, right?

Building my new computer and wondering:

Should I be ordering all my parts seperately or at once?

So I was downloading something to one of my partitions, which had roughly 50GB of free space left. Said item was only 33GB big, yet when I woke up this morning, it said low disk space and prevented the thing downloading any further than 50%. What exactly happened here?

>>59229764
No real reason not to get them all at once. How else would you know if any/all of them are functional if you can't make a working computer?

>>59229686
You might as well just make a function.

>>59229779
Because I'm currently at uni until summer comes around and I figured I may as well just order the ones that have low failure rates (RAM, HDD, SSD, ect...)

>>59228861

I have an old IDE HDD that has Windows XP installed I guess, I wanted to get some files back from this HDD.

Right, I also have an old PC that has an IDE HDD but it has a SATA HDD aswell and the OS is in the latter. My doubt is, if I take this IDE HDD and put my old IDE HDD that has Windows XP, what should I do to load Windows XP instead of the OS in the SATA HDD? Just setting the IDE to Master? Removing the SATA HDD temporarily?

Is there any web browser suitable for JDownloader's browser loop that will allow it to start minimized in the background so it won't steal focus from what I'm doing? As far as I know it's impossible with Firefox or Chrome to set it up this way.

Important for me to do this since it kind of defeats the purpose of using a captcha solving service if I still have the program pull me out of whatever I was doing (especially if it was a movie or fullscreen game or something) to open and close my browser. For now I've just disabled the browser loop entirely but that causes problems with some hosts.

bump it up to the highest and it will only improve you connection for wifi/wired

Check if dns settings and subnet are correct. Power cycle all your shit.

>>59230730
Usually both.

>>59230730
It's more to insulate it from the case. Higher end cases have integrated standoffs.

>>59230730
>Or is their purpose to ground the motherboard to the case?
Just the opposite, actually. The purpose of standoffs is to prevent any arcing between the motherboard and any component of the case, short circuiting it. Which usually won't do serious damage, but will prevent it from turning on and staying on.

Sup /g/. As you can see from the picture here and on the next one, my PC is powered by a third world tier plug system. So the question is: when my computer is turned off and I'm not using it, should I leave the PC plugged to the power system or not? I'm thinking it might be potentially bad for my computer either way.

Second pic. The plug always stays on the wall either way because I need wifi, and the plug that is unplugged gives power to the PC.
So in the end I don't know if it would be better to keep unplugging it every now and then or just leave it there altogether, knowing the wall plug is very bad quality, I can even see sparkles when I plug the wall thing on.
Thanks a lot in advance.

>>59232685
>>Will this replace SSD?

For most people, no, it's too expensive.

>>Or will this allow laptops to have two storage volume like back when we were able to replace the CD tray by a hard drive caddy?

Doesn't make a difference here, current versions use the same slot as a regular M.2 SSD.

>>Is this overpriced?

For normal users, yes. Only worth it if you really need that extra random access performance.

>>Will it be relevant in the near future (i.e. until end of 2018)? If so, how?

If they can get price down to near flash, maybe. Wouldn't bet on it.

>>59230862
SATA M.2 is no faster than 2.5, it's just a smaller form factor.

PCIe drives, in M.2 or x4 form factor are much faster for benchmarks, but real world use usually don't make enough difference to be worth the price premium. Intel 600p you can almost make a case for, as it's not that much more expensive than SATA, but it's also the slowest of the PCIe drives.

I have 5TB of porn videos. And I'm tired of buying more hard drives all the time.

Would it make sense to compress them with HandBrake? How much would the difference be with a 4GB file? I think file size is more important than quality, would it be best to keep the resolution and lower bitrate or lower the resolution and keep the bitrate?

Thoughts?

H.264 in an MP4 container the best?

>>59233050
Thanks, good to hear that.

>>59233258
>Would it make sense to compress them
if they're higher quality than you need them to be, sure
>How much would the difference be with a 4GB file?
their current size doesn't really affect the size of your output, the video is decompressed before it is recompressed, only resolution, framerate, and content complexity matters
>I think file size is more important than quality, would it be best to keep the resolution and lower bitrate or lower the resolution and keep the bitrate?
this depends on various things, lower resolution will allow for smaller output at similar quality (bar the details loss directly caused by lower resolution)
>Thoughts?
i should have bought some pies when i was at the shops earlier
>H.264 in an MP4 container the best?
mkv + hevc + opus is best combination right now, h264 is still something to consider if you have a slow machine though, while hevc is better, it's far slower to encode than h264, which can make it impractical in some cases

Hey /g/, just a few questions about PC assembly.

My current PC is a custom built one I put together myself, so I got no problem actually putting anything together but it was just years ago so im kinda fuzzy on some details, the only thing i did once it was assembled was open it up once to put a 970 in there to replace the old an shitty second hand GPU that was in there for about a year or so.

1. If i replace pretty much everything bar the fans, storage drives and RAM, will i need a new copy of Windows? I find it hard to believe I could just swap out my SSD C onto a new MOBO and everything OS wise will just work as before, but then again I don't know what Im talking about, maybe it will

2. Is SLI with different Nvidua GPUS with different Vram levels functional, say for example if I got a 1080 or a 1070 with 8GB, and ran SLI with the 970 at 4GB, or >3.5 I already have, how much more performance would I really be getting over say a 1070 alone, running at a native 1440p?
Would the performance increase substantial enough to keep it, or would I be better off just selling my original GPU to recoup some of the cost of my new one.

3.Upgrade to DDR4, or just keep the 16GB DDR 3 i have already?

I want to create several hundred html files that all have the same format & I want to write a script or something that will let me input a couple text fields with a photo then auto generate that html page with the information I gave it.

I only want to have to write the first html file and then the rest will follow that same code except. Any suggestions?

>>59234081

pick one.

almost every time i shutdown my computer i need to run startup repair. my monitor just gets discoloured lines at the top of it and won't boot.

Gonna build a new computer soon, budget 500€ to 1000€. I already have a monitor. I'm hesitating between two choices, here they are :

>Intel Core i5-6500 / 7500
>B150 / B250 mobo
>AMD Radeon RX 480

or

>Intel Core i5-6600K / 7600K
>Z170 / Z270 mobo
>AMD Radeon RX 480

In all honesty I will probably never end up overclocking my computer because while I do occasionally play games they're generally retro ones, and even if I were to play newer games, it wouldn't kill me to not being able to constantly playing them in ULTRA settings.
Another thing is I am poor and I'm expecting, want, my computer to last at the very least 3-4 years, and by lasting I mean not to break, so overclocking is like taking the risk of damaging my hardware for very little utility.

I'm aware the K versions of the core are naturally more powerful than the non-K versions even without overclocking, but is it still worth the higher costs? Would I end up regretting buying a, let's say, 7500 + B250 mobo combo in the future? Am I fucking myself over by doing this because very little room to upgrade in the future?

A couple of minor questions, too :
• Is it fine to get Windows 10 off their website and install it on my newly made computer just like that? I won't have to mess with the BIOS?
• Is a SSD really that needed? I read they prone to break compared to a good old HDD. I would still get a HDD no matter what of course, I mean to install my OS/progs/games on.
• I've noticed people recently making new builds with the i5-4670K / 4690K cores, are they retarded? These shits are more expensive and less powerful than some of the CPU I listed above.
• I know I should get a GOLD or PLATINUM certified PSU. I also know I should get RAM according to whether or not I plan on OC. Anything else I should know?

I would like your insights, /g/. Thanks for reading.

Z170 / Z270 is the clear choice. Overclocking is pretty easy and safe to the point where most BIOSes have built-in profiles already. You'll be fine.

>• Is it fine to get Windows 10 off their website and install it on my newly made computer just like that? I won't have to mess with the BIOS?
I don't understand the question. BIOS is separate from your OS, so Windows 10 just werk The most common issue is secure boot, but since you'll only use Windows, you won't have to care.
>• Is a SSD really that needed?
For the average gaymur, SSD is the third most important component after GPU and CPU in terms of performance, so yes.
>• I know I should get a GOLD or PLATINUM certified PSU. I also know I should get RAM according to whether or not I plan on OC. Anything else I should know?
Platinum is overkill. But if you're on a tight budget, even bronze will do, as long as the PSU is known to meet quality standards according to trustworthy reviews.

I'm currently using a usb 2.0 flash drive for my swap on Arch. I have an actual swap file on my 5400rpm HDD as well (which is the same partition as my OS) but I have the priority set to 2 in my fstab file. My reasoning for trying this is the same as if you were to use a flashdrive for ReadyBoost in Windows. I completely understand that they are two completely different operating systems, but why is this considered slower to use than just using the swap file on my HDD?

My late father left me his ipad, but the newest version of software available is 5.1.1. Not only that, but basically nothing is supported from the official store and I had to factory reset it to 5.1.1. Can someone here point me to a software that allows me to either root or flash it to install something better than this gimped unsupported OS?

>>59234756

>it seems like the music players I have tested thus far dont have access to a FILE MANAGER in order to select my MUSIC FOLDER

does that make less vague?

>>59234863
Because swap is more closely related to pagefile on Windows. It mimics a secondary set of RAM.

>>59234878
>install """"""music player""""""
>random """"""""gui music player""""""""

Again, be more vague

>>59234863
ReadyBoost was almost never sensible either, even when Vista just came out typical hard drives were generally faster than USB 2.0.

>>59234863
You dont need swap,and having it would not be beneficial in any way on a usb 2.0 and 5400 rpm hdd

I'm running Arch on an older netbook that has 2GB of RAM. I usually leave Chrome running in the background to reduce the time it takes to open it. Usually this machine is used for web surfing or to rdesktop to my main machine. Is the swap file still unnecessary in this case or will I constantly run out of ram?

Mercury and ESD. Lethal amounts of ESD

Assuming you are listening to a song with a wired connection and the audio output cable has a bad connection (such as the cable not fully plugged in or simply just busted), you can hear things that are imperceptible in music, such as lower volume tracks or frequencies that plainly get mixed together and you don't even notice them.

Is there some way of doing that through software?

I'm building my first computer (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/) and deciding between overclocking and not overclocking. If I overclock I will most likely go over my budget and I don't really plan to use the feature. I might also get Ryzen 5 when it comes out depending on performance but for now I'm sticking with Intel. Also, will a Skylake CPU work with a Z270 mobo?

>>59235070
If you don't plan on overclocking, why not H170 / H270? B150 / B250 is a bit limiting and kinda poorfag territory.

>>59235070
>I've just found really odd how Windows 10 is available for free like that on Microsoft's website.
Because officially, you either need to have a valid retail key or are upgrading from a Windows 7/8 OEM key. Funnily enough, I did a fresh install on a new CPU + mobo on January, and my Windows 7 OEM key worked flawlessly.

That's what I'd like to know, I remember a week ago or so I got told you could install without having to activate. Then with MS Toolkit you'd crack it and that's it.

Wow didn't even realize that. Sorry. I've just heard that getting an unlocked CPU and a Z-series mobo would allow me to have a high base clock speed and a lot of options, even if I never planned on overclocking.

>>59237192
We have a specific thread for this at >>>/g/pcbg/

You're paying money for:
- Unlocked CPU
- Better cooler
- Motherboard that can OC

So why not overclock?
You don't have to do it all manually, you can just use a predefined OC profile and get a quick win.

>>59237312
There isn't a /pcbg/ up. And wow thanks, I never realized you could use OC profiles. On a related note, should I just wait for Ryzen 5 and OC that since all of their CPUs are overclockable?
