How do I get my AMD FX8350 into my t420 thinkpad?

How do I get Windows to stop showing thet popup window that comes up in the middle of the screen every time I plug in removable media? I set everything to "take no action" in Autoplay settings but all it did was make it so that the window only disappears after it finishes saying "scanning media".

In 2012 everyone told me overclocking RAM is pointless.

Now it's 2017 and there are 3200MHz kits regularly sold and I still have 1333MHz DDR3 RAM.

Is it worth overclocking now?

Fuck, I'm stupid, CL14 @ 2133 MHz.

I don't know. People thinking higher number = better/faster RAM. Again, it doesn't matter, definitely not on desktop. All RAM will be more or less equivalent, just buy from companies that give lifetime warranty.

>Why are these high frequency kits selling like hotcakes now?
The premium is not as hefty as 5 years ago anymore.

You can get 300-500MHz more for only a couple $ so most people think "why not". Maybe the lower frequency kits are sold as decoys or whatever to upsell people. I think this strategy has a name, can't remember it tho

Effectively nothing will affect your SSDs lifespan. I wouldn't bother with hardware encryption

>>59416755
>Will full drive encryption affect my ssd lifespan negatively?
dont think so

>Some SSDs say they support encryption, what does it mean? How do I tell if mine does?
it means that ssd has chip onboard that does the encryption so no cpu cycles are used
i think its called opal or some shit, and ssd is compatible with windows bitlocker

Does that additional chip make any difference battery-life wise? I doubt it would since it only gets used only when booting right?

I doubt it would, although it has nothing to do with boot. Encryption runs constantly while you're booting the volume

You can buy them without "websites" (I assume you mean hosting) at a lot of places.

I doubt you can buy them with a one time payment though since you need to pay yearly to keep it alive. I'd assume you can cancel your plan if you don't need it anymore, though

The internet on my PC keeps disconnecting when I leave it on overnight to download stuff, and I can't quite figure out what's causing it. When I check it in the morning, there's just a question mark over the wifi symbol, and it doesn't work again until I disconnect and reconnect. It seems to happen specifically when I'm running my GPU passthrough VM, as that's what I've been trying to download stuff on (although it doesn't work in Linux either when this happens).
My motherboard is an asrock z270 killer, and I'm using the built-in wifi. Maybe that's could be causing it?
Also, my OS is Antergos if that helps.

I need to use it pretty soon as I've been without a phone for a while after mine broke

So why can't you try it out? I'm not sure because I never thought to try that, because you could just use folders to accomplish the same thing. It's not going to ruin the sd card formatting it, so if it doesn't work just reformat and repartition it back to a single partition.

Am I goofing by majoring in Computer Engineering or should I just go down the Electrical Engineering path? I'm just ending my freshman year.

Still unsure about if it's good or not.
Here's what at I have so far. The association class is Product Purchase, but the requirements also state that:

"Customers can also contact a Manager for any problems with any specific product: A customer can make requests about any product so each request will be sent through to the appropriate Manager for the product."

Would this mean the association class would be between Customer and Manager in some way?
These 4 classes are the only ones we can use.

>>59419563
usually, it would be interesting for the supermarket to keep track of customers, especially digital ones. This means customers doesn't have to provide address and payment info every time they want to shop, stuff like that.
From that perspective, the customer can have multiple orders, each containing multiple products.

I just got a new phone for the first time in ages. A LG Escape 3 (android) if that helps. I have some photos and I have a bunch of album artwork in my music folders, however all the album artworks shows up as individual files in my overall picture gallery, not even in 'Pictures' itself.

This isn't anything major. It's an exercise question for a uni module.

The importance of each exercise is irrelevant.
You are in uni to learn, so when you come across something you are not able to answer, double down on it until you feel that you can.

That's pretty much what I'm doing with this module. It's so subjective. There are so many ways of doing it which is the worst part.

>>59420157
Delete them, why would you keep album artwork? Or you can just create a folder, put all your artwork inside and create a blank file named .nomedia, it will force media related apps to not detect the files inside that folder.

>>59420547
I prefer to have the artwork rather than a blank default image when there is no file present.

>>59420583
That's literally the template given that we need to use. I didn't make the layout other than the direction of associations and association class.
All we needed to do was fill in the attributes/signatures.

>>59420563
It's already explained, media apps will not detect the media inside the folder if you create this file.

Realistically, how bad is it to run a laptop's processor and mobo at 80-85 degrees for extended periods of time?

>>59420627
I'll give it a shot. The artwork is in each individual album folder--songs included--so I may be SoL.

Use an ISO tool of some kind to install the disc image onto a USB or disc then boot the PC from that device.

>>59421525
How do I boot the PC from that device? Do i have to access the BIOS?

>>59421488
use rufus to make bootable usb
boot from it, could be easy could take your hours to figure out
during install destroy all partitions and make fresh ones
install
google your notebook model to get drivers
install them
enjoy

though faggot get win 8.1, its better than shitty 7 and not as huge adverising botnet as win10

>>59421553
depending on notebook
first try pressing F12, if nothing then F8
if nothing then Esc
if still nothing, no menu or shit, get in to bios, leave usb plugged, change boot order so that usb is first
if shit still not working, then maybe you need to enable some legacy boot XMC or whatever some manufacturers call it
if you noob, it might be easier to just burn dvd and boot from that, can be less husstle on UEFI systems, but you wont learn shit

\also google faggot

>>59421553
Yes. On startup mash F2, F8 or F9 or something. From there you can change the boot order so that the system will boot from the device you want it to first.

I have a data frame that has a lot of factor and numeric variables and I'm trying to use fscaret package for feature selection.

I try to run the following code:

fsMod <- c("gbm", "treebag", "ridge", "lasso", "Boruta", "glm")
myFS<-fscaret(train.sleepDF, test.sleepDF, myTimeLimit = 40, preprocessData=TRUE, Used.funcRegPred = 'fsMod', with.labels=TRUE, supress.output=FALSE, no.cores=2)

And then finding the myFS$VarImp I get list()

I've read the annotation to the package and they also report on that issue, not giving a clear solution to it. There appears to be a troublesome method in the calculations, however, how do I identificate it?

Is there a way to solve the problem?

Is there a good free image host that can be used to host images for direct linking on a website? Got a friend set up on a pay-as-you-go service so naturally it's many times cheaper to host his images elsewhere, formerly on dropbox but since they reworked the Public folder none of his image links work anymore.

Alternatively if you know of a way to get the old functionality (have a folder full of images with the same URL pathing so you can just drop them into the folder in your computer and then copy/paste another image URL with the filename substituted) on Dropbox without needing to use the Public folder, that would work too. It can't be too complicated since he's only really mid-tier as far as tech literacy goes and I don't want to overwhelm him with something that I'm going to have to keep reteaching him every time he needs to upload a new image. If it's just a basic FTP or image upload prompt that's probably fine though.

i want to get a gaming laptop that is decent but not to expensive, basically something that can play new games at low settings at the least

for example ive been looking at the g3d score of cards on passmark, and to play say mass effect andromeda the weakest card they recommend is a gtx 660

so out of the two laptops im looking at one has a 7970m with a passmark score about 200 below the 360, then the other is a 755m sli which i can really find a score for

so basically what do i buy and how do i know if those cards will be any good?

People might not give a fuck about technology (their smartphone, computers, etc.) but for me those are personal, and it's like my house. I got pictures, videos.. everything I do.

I don't want people to see me at home the same way I don't want someone to track everything I do on my phone or computer.


Then if you want to go further, how do you know they only use those data to target you with ads ? How can you make sure that your government doesn't force this company to provide the state access to their servers ?

I remember reading an article about vodaphone admitting that they dedicate servers and personal to spy on its users for the government of the country they are, else the gov would tell them to fuck fuck off from the country (if you want to make money on our country help us spying on our citizens).

Java for example does it under the hood, thats why it needs a garbage collector. C++ has no built in garbage collector which comes with the benefit of more flexibility and performance provided you put the work in to program it.

You use dynamic memory allocation when you can't say ahead of time how much you'll need.

Lets say a user is inputting some form of data, maybe transactions, which you want to store in a list (and probably process). Well, how big should you make your list?

>>59422090
The meaning of dynamical allocation is all in the name. Allocation is simply reserving a memory location, as you already know. It is not different from the concept of allocating memory for a static variable. Dynamic means that this allocation is executed at runtime as opposed to static allocation in which it is executed at compile time. The compiler will not reserve any space for the memory you are allocating, that is, memory will be reserved only when the memory allocation instruction is executed by the processor. After you're done with the reserved memory locations, you need to free those locations.
Dynamic allocation is used whenever the data structures used by your algorithm are based on runtime parameters, or, in general, information that will only be available when you run the program, as opposed to when you compile the program.
For example, let's say that the user can input a number of integer values, and he can stop whenever he wants. You may store those integers in a static array, but a static array has fixed size therefore the user will always be able to exceed the array size by inputting a number of values equal to the array size plus one.
So you could resort to using a dynamic data structure, for example a linked list, in which you store integer values in dedicated location but only when you actually need that memory location. This way you have no upper bound on the data structure size (if we don't consider the case in which data overflows the whole memory segment) and you also only request memory space when it is actually needed. If you reserved an array of 100 integers and the user only inputs one value, 99% of the reserved memory is unutilized - instead, if you allocate input data on a list (which can be easily implemented by using elements composed of one integer and a pointer to the following element) you can just use one integer and one pointer to store the received data, plus you don't have any problem if the user inputs 101 values.

Anyone who uses Conemu know if and how I can set the "Conemu here" option to launch the conemu.exe and not the conemu64.exe?

To be precise, Java only does memory deallocation under the hood. Not memory allocation.

Can somebody help me figure out the home media streaming meme?

Since buying and renting blu rays is for old people and using my keyboard and mouse on my old Steam machine wannabe "looks autistic" I decided to do what all the normal people do now. But every method I try has distinct problems.

When I use Plex the video pauses for a couple of seconds every 30 seconds or so. No matter if I'm streaming 720p or 4k content. When I use a standard "cast to" type of things the quality is awful, like 2005 Youtube tier, regardless of settings. When I try the good old Universal Media Server it has a combination of all 3 problems depending on how it feels on any given day and half the files won't play at all.

I guess I'm just looking for in an in-depth guide to this type of shit.

Got a used thinkpad t60 and the battery doesn't charge and the indicator LED for the battery charging flashes orange. The adapter can power the laptop fine, it's just that the battery won't charge. I understand the battery light flashing orange can mean the battery aint good no more, but is there a possibility the charging system aint working either?

If you are using a Skylake or a Kaby Lake CPU download MSI Smart tools to add USB 3.0 drivers to the installer.

Install.
Use 3DP Network to add Network drivers.
Download Chrome trough internet explorer. >inb4 botnet
Download 3DP Chip to install drivers.

And then install whatever you want since at this point you are done reinstalling.

I've heard gorillas are actually pretty docile. Though I guess if you went out of your way to provoke them you might have a bad time.

I forgot to mention, you need to use Rufus to make your USB bootable.

Download Rufus

https://rufus.akeo.ie/

Click the Disc icon and select the Windows 7 ISO.
Select the USB you will use if you have multiple USBs on.
On settings select NTFS and MBR CSM.
Disable quick format option.
Start it.

Not malware but retarded standards maybe?

UEFI, Secure boot and Lack of USB 3.0 drivers might have to do something about it.

After all my research, I think a combination of me installing from USB and maybe also having an external connected caused confusion on where exactly the Linux system lives. I can't figure out the right command(s) to run or thing to do to fix it (heard of editing etc/default/grub and stuff like that, but I can't get it to open).

How to I keep the size/position of the window the same between files in a playlist?

I know, stupid in retrospect, but it was a force of habit. I have it connected 24/7/365. Lesson learned.

My Logitech G500s is starting to double click quite a bit so I'm looking to buy a new mouse. What are the /g/-approved best mice in current year current month?

How come in some games my GPU stays fully OC'd but in others it can fluctuate and drop down as low as 1012mv (resulting in a loss of over 100MHz)? Gears of War 4 does this but Forza Horizon 3 does not, for instance. Yet both are pushing the GPU as hard as it can, since I am doing 1440p 144Hz.

Is there any Android messaging client that plays nice with iMessage? Sending media over SMS sucks but ai can't ask all my friends and family to switch to LINE, OR Allo or whatever the fuck.

So I want to fresh install Windows 10 on my PC. i've already backed up everything I want.

I've also lost the key I used. So my question is

1. Is there a software that I can use to find the key I used for my computer?

2. After getting the key, do I just download the version of Windows 10 I currently have installed on my PC from Microsoft's website, burn it onto a disc, and install it?

>>59425446
why would you want to install windows 10?

>>59425461
Because I already have it on my PC, I bought my friend's PC and he reset his computer. Upon starting it up though, it had a few issues. One of those being that the time does not adjust by itself at all, I always have to manually do it.

>>59425446
Does it not have a page that shows you windows is activated and gives you the key? I right click the computer tab in the start menu, choose properties and it shows all that in 7.

>>59425477
install ubuntu

>>59425478
Oh fuck, so is Product ID the same as the key? I haven't done a windows install in a while so if so yeah that's a really stupid question to ask.

What's a good tool to check the life of an SSD?

Bought an Intel i5 7600k because I couldn't wait until April for the ryzen 5 - PC want breathing hot and hard since I had OC going pretty hard on it. Coming from the FX4300 series I'm pretty excited, but I'm worried about it becoming bad once the R5 series launches. Should I care that much or am I worried about nothing?

Thank you

Would disabling the iGPU on my processor improve power consumption or temperature? I just disabled it in my bios and obviously everything works just fine since I have a dedicated GPU, but I'm just curious if power was still being sent to the iGPU before.

Could any C programmers give me a hint at what the colon means in this line of code?

for (const char* layerName : validationLayers) 

I get for loops, the pointer to const, and stuff, but I have no idea what the colon does. Any help appreciated.

>>59425970
From what I read once, that's the entire point of a tech thing called optimus. It's when a laptop manufacturer adds both an integrated gpu and discrete one to a laptop, but routes everything through the integrated one. This means when it isn't necessary, the discrete one can be turned off. They say this saves power. No idea about heat but I imagine so.

So I have new machine that I just built and I'm using Ubuntu. I can hardly do anything with it. My software center wont show anything to download. I've tried installing things via the terminal with apt get and that just returns errors. Idk what to do. The way things are, I can't even open an mp3.

make sure you use sudo before apt-get
