Is it acceptable to flash Gapps on CM, install the stuff you need from the playstore, then permanently disable all the google processes (including play services), block the connection of all the non-trusted app with AFwall, and use FDroid for the rest? What are the cons of this approach?

Which brand of the GTX1070 would you guys recommend?

What do you do with your computer and where do you sit relative to the screens?

Why write in C instead of C++?

>>59343263
This is a hypothetical scenario, currently I have a similar layout, but with 2 1366x768 displays, and 1 1600x900

I figured that going from 900p to 1080p on the main screen wouldn't be that much of an real estate upgrade, so I chose a bigger one, I use my computer for programing, 4chan and gaming sometimes

I currently sit 1.5' from my screens, the bigger one directly in front of me, but this could change, as I would need a bigger stronger table for those new ones (in the hypothetical situation where I could afford them)

At home I have a completely separate network which runs an in-house IPTV system. It's physically separated from my LAN and it only has 4 IPTV STBs plugged in at any moment (An Amino box and 3 entone boxes). I plug a laptop into the separate network when I need to configure something.

What I want to do is take one of my IPTV STBs with me when I'm out on the road for work. Mainly so that I can watch the locals and blacked out games depending on where in the country I am. Work tends to put me up in places with decent internet so bandwidth is almost never going to be a problem from home or on the road. But the problem is, I have no clue how to approach this.

My initial thought is that I use my PFsense router and OpenVPN to accomplish this. I would install a new network card and turn it up as OPT1. Plug that into the IPTV VLAN and then configure the interface to pull, not push, an IP address via DHCP (the IPTV server handles DHCP on the IPTV network).

But how would I get this working properly with OpenVPN? Would I create some kind of tunnel between the IPTV network and OpenVPN? Can pfsense do that?

On the other side, I was thinking of using an old Cisco router I have running DDWRT as an OpenVPN client/bridge.

In my mind, the setup goes like this:

IPTV NET - - - OPT 1 - bridge? - OPENVPN **internets - openvpn bridge** OPENVPN - bridge to port n - DDWRT - - - STB

But I am not sure on where to begin to get this working properly. Some of the guides I've found to get something like this working aren't exactly what I'm looking for, and others mention the use of OPT1 being a DHCP server when that wouldn't work for my setup. Ideally I'd like the connection to appear as if it was just a bridge over the internet, with the remote stb picking up the same IP address from my IPTV network that it would if it was physically plugged in at home... Does that make sense?

Any ideas on how I can accomplish this?

>>59343456

**Made a mistake in this post. The IPTV network is a separate physical network. NOT a VLAN.

Apart from the obvious - small / embedded devices - generally C is better for pure number crunching problems (e.g. GPU graphics processing, massively parallel physics calculations, pattern mining etc) where OOP features are a bloat. C++ is better for modelling systems where 'things' interact, much easier with OOP capabilities.

Why does Vivaldi looks like a bitcoin miner?

has anyone tried to mess with this "google opinion rewards" thing?

apparently when you go into stores itll give tiny surveys about your experience and you can make a few bucks off them to spend on the playstore.

i dont personally need it since i just pirate all my apps, but i was wondering if anyone has tried using a fake location app to trick google into thinking you went to a bunch of stores so you can spam all the surveys.

Is buying another RAM stick solely for dual channel worth it? This is on a laptop with an i5-5300u, integrated graphics and 8gb RAM already installed. I'd like to squeeze more performance out of this thing.

How many years until you upgrade/replace your hard drive before it begins to fail?
Do SSDs last longer than HDDs?
Should I be worried about any other components failing in an older pc?

>>59343778
>Should I be worried about any other components failing in an older pc?
Fans, GPU, perhaps the PSU. Fans get worn out after 3-5 years, less if there are no dust filters and they aren't being cleaned regularly with canned air. I've never personally had a GPU die but I hear of it happening a lot. My old 8800GT is still working, as is my old 560Ti. Maybe I just have good luck.

Everything else should last a very, very long time as long as temps are good and you aren't overclocking.

Why would a pc boot into linux but do a endless loop at boot on windows, including the usb media?
The windows os installed on the usb was done with the media but it gives the exact same loop as trying to boot with a supposedly clean format windows installation, however, trying to install ubuntu and other distros works perfectly even when I'm using the same usb.

>>59343778
hdd's are really volatile, you really never know what might happen, in theory they should last x amount of years depending on brand, care, etc.
I've had this old as sin samsung hdd from an old prebuilt and it's still running perfectly after 9 years.

Meanwhile the 1tb seagate I bought (and tested as soon as it arrived) a year ago is already failling.

>>59343778
PSU, motherboards and ram are the main stuff.

If you get a good psu which you should, then it's really rare to see it die, motherboard can be tricky and hard to pinpoint if it's the thing giving problems but again, can be avoided a bit more by paying some more bucks and reading reviews and informing yourself.
Good quality cpu and gpus are built like bricks and are often quite durable and reliable, as long as you don't have them running in an oven of course.
Ram is really fucking random and it could work perfectly one day then go to shit next morning, make sure to use memtest and keep your boxes for warranty.

And remember, you could buy the most cheap ass scrambled shit and last it years and put together some insane super expensive 5 star review on everything machine for 5k and still have a component fail, it's rare and sometimes it just comes down to you being unlucky, which is why you should run tests on every piece of hardware.

What are the causes of a laptop's HDD getting 100% usage on win 10 ? ( its fucking freezing all the time ) i checked for error and bad blocks, all ok . I really dunno what it could be :/

Is there a good guide to learn how to overclock simply?

I don't want to go in to it hardcore, just get my 4770k to like 4 or 4.2

>>59343752
For what?
I mean it's using fucking integrated graphics, what task could you want to squeeze more performance out with those specs?

>>59344038
Could be BITS which is often what microsoft support tells you, defender, anti virus, x background program or service, whatever a microsoft support agent tells you.
I haven't seen a pc running 8 or higher that hasn't had this issue or has it constantly, I'm not very knowledgeable about it but I'm pretty sure it's just one of the quirks and fuck ups of the transition to 8 that they don't quite know how to fix or what to do because it's still there on 10.

Which is the best youtube downloader add-on for Firefox?
I was using this one but I don't remember its name. It was really good. It added a button right next to the options menu on Firefox, then let you download the video in mp3 and other video formats. It's not the one with the orange windows.

RAID Question

I am considering doing a (software) raid in Windows 8 or 10. Apperently I can't apply the raid across my install partition? If I lose that install partition does the raid go with it? or will winodows recognize and re-build (If necessary) a windows made raid 5?

When do you want a NAS

>>59344038
Is it a new problem? or been around almost as long as the laptop?

>>59343778
PSU fails more often then anything else. After that is hdd, fans, then it's anyones guess.

From my research SSD's are not much more reliable then HDDs. And they often give no warning when they are about to crash.

>>59344156
its a new problem, don't know what to do

>>59344101
As you said it could be a lot of things, to narrow it down what can i do ? is there any workaround for this ? i searched everywhere on the net

>>59344185
Well if the HDD is in good shape, check taskman/resource monitor and see if any one thing is maxing it out.

Did it start happening after a windows update

>>59344156
From experience, the number one thing that kills HDDs are sudden and improper shutdowns. Avoid those and they'll more than likely live long.

>>59344201
mostly what maxes out is SYSTEM. I've tried formating the whole hdd and installing win 10 from scratch also installed all drivers from the official website, so far nothing

Asus HD 6850
AMD Phenom ii x4
MSI 990fxa motherboard
HyperX 8gb ram
XFX pro 650w power supply

good deal?

>>59344306
>AMD

lmao no

>>59344286
well hopefully the reinstall will do it. Thats were my knowledge was leading me to. Sometimes some windows services will cause similar problems, and they can be disabled.

>>59344306
Doesn't seem like a bad deal to me. May depend a bit on what gen the processor is.

>>59344405

im the one selling these parts. Its a pre-built PC thats 5 years old and I just need some money to buy a normal laptop since Im done with desktop shit until I have real money

>>59344286
Like I said, it's likely to just be a fuck up on microsoft and it's still there from w8 to 10.
It could be BITS, could be certain services or background programs, your best bet would be to find which windows services often cause it and disable them one by one and see if it works.
I've seen this issue on a million normie pcs and several other pcs with competent people behind them and this always happens eventually, might not be noticeable depending on the specs but you can tell if you're often monitoring drive activity, more than often it's always some windows service that goes wild in later windows OS and they still haven't fixed it, blame microsoft incompetence

a friend happened to hand me his laptop, installed BBlean and managed to fuck it up for one user account- even new accounts refuse to start up explorer, manually windows will refuse pointing out it has no access to specfied location of explorer.exe, only one account can launch it. i have tried registry so far and nothing ever comes out of it.

will i need a full blown system restore?

anybody? Its going to be a fresh install btw.

I have never experienced hardship like trying to install a Windows 7 x64 duel-boot to a Windows 10 x64 system without reformatting either of my storage drives

Every time I think I've got it, I get hit with something else.

Oh, skylake/kabylake CPUs for some reason disable USB input in the Windows 7 installer, so I'll spend 10 minutes waiting on Intel's tool to put USB 3.0 drivers into the boot iso.

Oh, but it's saying I can't install Windows 7 onto a CBR partition. But this is an x64 iso and Google says you can install 64-bit onto CBR. Weird, maybe I'll try a single-version ISO (after the intel tool does its 10 minute thing of course!) since this is multiversion

Oh, it started installing but didn't work, I wonder why. Oh, it's because this iso is 'Home Premium' edition, and 'Home Premium' Windows 7 doesn't support CBR/virtual disks while Ultimate version does. OK, let me Google it some more

true this, you know looking into it i can get somewhat decent laptops that dont have a 1000 problems for the same price. Crisis averted i think

>>59344958
You could try something like Virtual Audio Cable. This seems kinda convoluted, since I would hope that Windows could handle this natively.

>>59344968
That's better. So yes, any 64bit version of windows 7 can be installed to GPT. Let rufus take over making your flashdrive GPT bootable https://rufus.akeo.ie/

Also I'd think about using your mobo/laptop manufacturers specific USB 3 drivers if they offer any

are Acer brand laptops acceptable, or is there anything to watch out for with this manufacturer?

>>59345463
they are pretty average. Dont get one if its going to be carried in a bag a lot (especially a backpack).

For the most part it's like every other brand of laptop, avoid the bottom of the barrel and you will probably be fine, never buy anything with bad reviews. Realize that cheap (new) laptops aren't durable.

>>59345941
ffmpeg.
if you put ffmpeg.exe into the same directory you can use these options to make it convert them for you
https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/README.md#post-processing-options

you can get windows builds of ffmpeg from here https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/

So the site, file, directory must not be blocked - it must be available FOR crawling in order to not appear in the search results (when noindex is applied).

So, what's the point? Why doesn't block/disallow by robots.txt also apply noindex - why would you want to index a site in SERP that can't be crawled?

Now just trying to run youtube-dl -f gets the can't run error

because a search machine can index your page without visiting it when you get linked from other pages.
robots.txt just says don't crawl it, noindex meta tag says don't even index it.

pic related is the result on google when you forbid crawling with robots.txt but the site is popular enough to get a lot of other sites pointing to it.

>>59346140
What's a good example of site you don't want to be crawled, but want to be indexed?

>>59346156
none, it's usually people misunderstanding robots.txt

here's more info.
https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6062608
>While Google won't crawl or index the content blocked by robots.txt, we might still find and index a disallowed URL from other places on the web. As a result, the URL address and, potentially, other publicly available information such as anchor text in links to the site can still appear in Google search results. You can stop your URL from appearing in Google Search results completely by using other URL blocking methods, such as password-protecting the files on your server or using the noindex meta tag or response header.

>>59346170
That (and other SEO related topics) is what I'm reading right now, and precisely why I asked why would a website disallow crawling yet not use noindex (for example, why don't private trackers do this?) They generally have disallowed scraping yet allow to be indexed.

It's no security protocol as stated many times by Google, but it'd still be something. I've tried to think of why would I deny scraping but allow indexing and I can't really understand any way in which this would be beneficial - maybe in a slow as shit server that can't handle scraping?

I have one specific iptable rule at top on the list, and then I have another to drop everything, yet the previous one is not working. I think I matched the requisites:

>Right syntax
>Right order

I don't know how to troubleshoot, I even opened everything to see if packages would go through that rule (since with everything opened it should go straight to the rule) and the rule is still not applying. What could be the issue?

Anyone here got a Drone?

My DJI Mavic Pro arrived yesterday just in time for a project shoot. But, i'm having major issues straight out of the box:

> Open package, charge everything.
> Download the DJI GO 4 app, go through the motions of signing up to DJI, activate my drone, etc.
> Turn on the controller, plug in phone and relaunch the DJI GO app.
> Download latest firmware, as prompted.
> It gets to 39% and stops for a few minutes.
> Suddenly, phonecall from my gf. She's stuck miles away and I have to come get her, she's got a show tonight.
> Get ready to leave immediately
> Phone rings. "Don't worry, it's all sorted now. I have a lift home."
> Okay, right, so back to the Firmware update.

> Relaunch app, no idea if the firmware completed or not. I assume it didn't, because I had to answer the phone. Wether the update runs in the background or not, I have no idea.

> Decide best thing to do at this point is reset the firmware cache and start again from scratch.
> Now, my RC won't connect to my phone, or my drone. It's constantly stuck in "connecting..."

>I've tried using the cable and directly connecting my RC to DJI Assistant 2 (on my phone, on my mac, on my pc), but even that doesn't recognise the RC. The cable is fine, i've tried it on the Drone and it recognises it. The problem is isolated to the RC.

> Spend the best part of yesterday looking through forums and apparently a lot of people have the same issue. the Firmware update got to 30-40% and then froze (I happened to answer my phone during the freeze, backing out of the App during the freeze)

Is it not working correctly currently or did I misunderstood?

Maybe only the partition record is corrupted.

I had a very old external drive (Toshiba 80GB) that did this sometimes. I had to remove its external case every time to make it detect on Windows properly. But sometimes only keeping the drive level while plugging worked.

>>59348464
It was working correctly until I bumped it just earlier today. It doesn't appear in disk management, only in the device manager. I guess it might be a problem with the arm, musta fucked it somehow. I'll try messing with the case and see if that helps at all.

Quick question. I currently have a 970, upgraded about a year ago to that from a 770. I'm currently bored and feel like upgrading, and am looking at just going and picking up a 1070 today.

Is there any good reason why I should hold off? 1070 will cost me $380, and come with that Ghost Recon/For Honor bundle crap.

(Beyond not fucking using it) Is there anyway to test a unidirectional TCP connection from the receiving end other than a pcap at the interface looking for syn attempts?

>>59350569
Maybe consider upgrading other parts of your build?
Going from GTX 970 to 1070 is a good idea if you have money to spare.

>>59346734
DJI has notorious shit support so good luck with that, but if you fuck up the firmware then generally they're bricked.

>>59350777
I plan to upgrade my processor sometime in the future, but really there are no other needs at this time. The graphics card was my main worry because I was so out of the loop, when I went to the 970 from my 770, I had installed it, used it for a bit, and the GPU that had the whole controversy about not actually being 4gb, but 3.5gb with the other .5gb on the slower speed popped into my head.

Then I realized that was the 970 I was thinking about that I had recently purchased.

But I figure upgrading from the essentially 3.5 to 8 of the 1070 should allow me to do things like the high intensive graphics mods on games short of 4k(which I have no interest in myself). Not like the 970 is a slouch, but even things like GTA V, I can't quite max everything 100%, so graphical mods (in my opinion) are out at that point. Really only if I can max out a game on my hardware, do I feel like I should start being able to throw the mods onto it.

Not that guy but the one custom firmware I tried a while back seemed a lot less good than the default stuff, fonts were yucky, browsing was awkward, seemed in general pointless.

How can I sync my keepass database from PC and Android?
I mean, on my computer, there is a folder "KeePass" with the database, and whenever I make changes, it will sync with Google Drive.
I don't know how to do it on Android.

Is it not possible to have Google Drive sync automatically on Android?

I use Dropbox and I think it can be done there though I just do it manually myself since I don't access my keepass database all that very much on my phone.

I swapped hard drives back and forth today, and now my front case fan is running at 100% constantly for some reason. My mainboard's been kind of iffy lately, is it possible that the header went faulty?

Could a CMOS reset help? Do I need to get an 12v-8v adapter, or is it better to get an adapter to plug it into the PSU?

How good are 3200mhz DDR4 RAM exactly? As opposed to 2400mhz ones for example.

>>59351181
That phone even supports the 64 GB SDXC card, so you shouldn't have any problems with a SDHC card.
Go for it

>>59351177
Here's an idea. Drop keepass and start using Master Password. You won't have to worry about syncing/backup ever again.

>>59351213
That advice sucks, Keepass is good.

There are benefits and downsides to both approaches. Personally I like having a database rather than generating based on URL as yours seems to since it allows more flexibility to change or customize passwords for individual sites (some have different restrictions on allowed characters, numbers of characters, etc) and you're not inconvenienced if something happens to change its domain or something.

Also seems like to compromise you with the software you showed someone just needs to get a hold of your master key, rather than needing both the key and the database file.

pile of shit, they're probably just seeding a random number generator with your password. horribly insecure

Uh, there's a dropdown menu for that, retard.
>Also seems like to compromise you with the software you showed someone just needs to get a hold of your master key, rather than needing both the key and the database file.
If someone gets hold of your master key you've got bigger problems. Either you're too retarded to live (gave it to someone, had a weak ass password, etc), or your OS is compromised and someone logged your keystrokes and shit. Either way a different PW manager won't do shit for your retarded ass.

>>59351346
>To derive a site-specific secret from your master key, we employ "HMAC-SHA-256" (a SHA-Hashed Message Authentication Code of 256-bit in length) to compute an authentication token by carefully hashing the site's name and counter with the master key. The result is a 256-bit password seed, which is essentially your key to get into the website.

may I ask why did you buy the thing, when your built-in audio works?

>>59343942
wait, so you installed Windows onto USB media? as-in, installed the OS itself?

I don't think Windows will allow you to install it onto a USB device. You can do this with Linux- I have an arch thumbdrive that I do this with. But during the install process, if you try to point a Windows install to a USB it has always thrown a fit for me.

not sure if i'm getting at what you're asking but your question is weirdly phrased so you get what you get.

It is a complete resource hog and it constantly hounds you to purchase their paid services. For older PCs it is completely unusable. It has basically become what Norton was ten years ago. There is no point using an antivirus if the antivirus program itself consumes so much of your computers' resources that you can't use the PC to do anything else.

For any PC made in the past 4-5 years that isn't a complete shit budget PC, it is negligible, but it is still an obnoxious antivirus program.

What's the best audio codec for MPC? When I watch live blu-rays with loud audio the audio sounds a bit muffled.

are all consumer laptops memes or is there something with reasonable specs that won't break if i look at it the wrong way and won't burn my body or house down

>>59351769
LAV filters are pretty decent. What you describe sounds like a common issue with some audio formats meant for surround setups being played back in stereo, need to enable downmixing settings in audio filter if you want it to sound right.

>>59351785
most consumer laptops nowadays are memes. they're all built like shit and break easy.

I dropped my chromebook once from about 5 feet... and it is fine. so, sometimes you get lucky.

from what i've seen coming into the shop, Toshiba still manages to make sturdy laptops, but they're a far-cry from the satellites of 10-15 years ago that you could spill shit on and drop repeatedly and still work.

this is why you have autists who buy shit-old thinkpads- they were built to last and you could use one as a blunt-force weapon.

I just installed a trial version of matlab on my computer to do something real quick. I want to remove it now, but can't find an uninstall script anywhere. When it was installing it wanted to install to bin on my main hard drive, but for some reason it was giving me errors, so I just installed it to my second hard drive where it made it's own bin folders. Can I just delete all MatLab folders on my second hard drive rather than doing a formal uninstall?

normally the interface should go to a usb port or something

>>59351906
I recall seeing the LAVFilters in my taskbar before. I must have had it on some iteration of MPC and uninstalled it by mistake.

I don't think it sounds any better sadly, but perhaps my ears are just busted and I shouldn't be listening to music so loudly. It could be the files, but it happens on like 4-5 different blu-rays. Thanks anyways for trying to help.

Is anything other than madvr needed for MPC? LAVFilters is already included in the newer version.

It's not an audio interface, simply a standalone phantom power supply, one of the cables goes from XRL to 3.5 audio jack to connect to a pc

Monitor is fine for me at this time. Things like IPS/amoled displays and all that I feel are genuinely better, but I've just never felt the huge urge to get them.

Like for example, the whole amoled samsung displays vs everything else. I have had a few of the Note flagships, and while I do feel they are more vibrant/better than say my current V20, it doesn't irk me to just live with it because while the difference is obvious visually, it's not such a huge difference like I see some people make them out to be(to me at least, obviously my opinion).

As for SSD's it's basically the same as above for me. While I do feel they are better than sata obviously, nothing I do makes me feel like I would greatly benefit from it. If this were a notebook computer, then I would say yea, SSD all the way. I know loadtimes are reduced and things like that, but games would be getting installed to my larger drives anyways. As far as read/write speed, I don't do anything really that has any lag from speeds on accessing the harddrive that would benefit me from an SSD change.

So basically I get that there are better options than what I currently have, but the cost in time/money for those I don't feel is worth it in what I may be getting out of them(at this time).

Obviously it's just my own opinion since there are plenty out there who feel the opposite towards that stuff as me.

How do I convert video files without the sound fucking up?

I tried to convert a .avi movie to .mp4 but the sound is off by like 8 seconds.

>>59352617
ffmpeg.

also learn the difference between video/audio codecs and containers.
avi and mp4 are containers for video/audio codecs.
you can "convert" an avi file to mp4 without having to reencode anything.

ffmpeg -i my.avi -c copy my.mp4

Superior text editor?

I've used vim for a while but I still feel like retard when using it. It has some really neat features that can only be valued when you need them. I know Emacs gives similar possibilities but I don't want to learn yet another editor this fast. Basically I'm using nano now, unless I remember I'm trying to learn vim. Still haven't configured it and I probably won't have time for that for a long time.

I'm looking for a graphical editor though. I spend most of my time either in the browser or in the console but sometimes a graphical editor would be nice to have. I'm using Notepad++ when I'm on my VM. I have Leafpad installed but it looks dull. I'm not gonna install half of Gnome™ for gedit, Sublime is non-free and Atom is utter garbage.

I'm also looking for a C#/JS IDE with good integration with Unity Game Engine.
