Thinking about upgrading my 770 to a 1060, do you think the difference in power is worth it? I'm stuck running a lot of things at medium if I want 60fps these days.

Anon, I hate having to tell you this, but I think your drive might be fucked.

i've enrolled into a transfer degree for computer science at my local community college. I placed into math95-III and I have 3 months till summer term starts. How should I best prepare in the mean-time?

>>59744129
it's been making that sound for months tho

>>59744255
Then you've had months worth of warning that the drive was dying. At least now you know that for next time, if a drive starts making unusual noises, back up everything from it and stop using it for anything mission critical. That really should be common sense though.

So, I have had my Vaio laptop for almost 7 years, back in the day, it was a pretty multimedia laptop and I got it with a discount, so well worth my money:

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Sony-Vaio-VPCF127HG.35367.0.html

But recently, it started shutting down when running games I used to be able to run, I even tried to lower the setting but, same happens. It's not due to overheating.

So, now I'm thinking of upgrading/replacing it with this laptop:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/store/d/dell-inspiron-13-5378-signature-edition-2-in-1-pc/926fvsbpqklt/CH30?lc=4105&ranMID=36509&ranEAID=CAqD7bLWUPI&ranSiteID=CAqD7bLWUPI-TIes34snWD5ApJgTLgje7w&tduid=(e585dfd445d958086878c14a0e8a1f3f)(240780)(2316686)(CAqD7bLWUPI-TIes34snWD5ApJgTLgje7w)()

My question is that, will the multimedia capacity of the new laptop be better or at least equal to the old one?

Thank you in advance.

>>59746319
multimedia is such a buzzword its not funny. Any laptop will fine for music and videos. Check the gpu for games. The fact that it used to be able to play those games suggests a dust build up or too much shit on the hard drive.

Imagine a beer can on one end of the table. I can push the can from one end to the other confident that I won't overdo it and it won't fall off the table.

Is there a name/word for this?

>>59746346
Hey man, thanks for replying. I only recently opened up the laptop to clean dust/reapply compound, so it cannot be it, I will try to clean the hard-drive, it's at around 45% capacity.

Here is the data on the two GPU, I really can't visualize which one will handle basic gaming better, but I do want to buy a laptop that is at least as good as my 7 years old model.

Also the CPU on the old laptop is an i7-740 QM.

>>59746549
pretty sure those will basically be on par with each other. the new one will obviously have a few more features but it wont translate to better performance.

If its not that it could be a soldering issue perhaps, nothing you can fix realistically

I like larger sizes because it's easier on the eyes, and frankly just the appearance of it. I run a 32inch 1440p monitor, for example.

Nothing is wrong with the monitor you linked, but just between the sizes you mentioned I'd go 24 inch.

>>59743972
You'll definitely get an upgrade but you're better off grabbing a GTX 1070 for more or an RX 480 for the same price

>>59743972
I upgraded from a pair of 770's to an RX480 because it had hdmi 2.0.

Performance wise it should be on par with the 1060 and is a decent upgrade over my cards sli'd so should be a large bump from a single 770.

It's the last AMD card I'll buy though.

Now I'd like to try that out at home but forgot the name of that suite. Ring a bell?

>>59747388
the are ethical hacking seminars you can watch
beyond that i dunno what to suggest

>>59747382
It's risky, but because of the little bits of metal you'll be making, and of course the dremel slipping and you hit something important.

Take the heatsink OFF the card before grinding it down, and make sure it's clean before putting it back.

>>59747409
thanks I'll be sure to look into that

>>59747417
>Take the heatsink OFF the card before grinding it down

>>59748355
By default the 7700K has an AVX offset of -1, so any programme using AVX instructions will reduce the maximum multiplier by 1 to reduce power consumption and therefore temps. At factory settings this means the maximum boost clock is reduced from 4500mhz to 4400mhz in such programmes.

I need some kind of adapter or something for a 75mm VESA mount that will angle the monitor.

Pic related.

My monitor mount only tilts forward 5 degrees, and I need it to tilt forward at least 15 or so. It'll tilt back 70 degrees, and I don't need that, so even something that adds 30 degrees or more would be usable.

is upgrading to a reference 1080 ti worth it from an aftermarket 1080 for $50?

>>59755645
well it obviously depends on the speed of the 1080

>>59755645

No. Wait for aftermarket 1080ti to appear.

Honestly, I don't think it's worth upgrading to a 1080ti from a 1080 at all. Or even a 980ti for that matter. Unless you're running a 970 or lower you might as well wait a generation or two.

Unless of course you're really, really concerned with 4k gaming RIGHT fucking now, in which case you'd still better wait for an aftermarket 1080ti.

Hi /g/ just got a Google Pixel but the USB C port seems loose.

It will disconnect with little force, the cable is still in but if you move it out a millimeter it wont charge.

Is this the way usb c works or should I return it?

>>59756238

Making one is always an option, but that's a lot of fab work for a one-off simple part.

Unless no commercial product exists, or it costs more than $40 or so, it just isn't worth the time to have to go buy a block of aluminum / delrin, cut it down to the right shape, and thread 8 holes.

I would rather throw money at the problem instead of cutting into the limited free time my corporate overlords allow me.

>>59756289
certainly isn't how it works
the USB C port on my 1.5 year old OnePlus 2 is still solid

Firstly, I'd see if you have the same problem with another USB cable. If you do get the same problem, return the phone.

If you aren't getting the same problem, contact the supplier and see if they will send you a new, original google usb type c cable. If they offer anything other than an original cable, return the phone.

Would an HGST Deskstar NAS be an acceptable storage hard drive in my main desktop?
Does it being a NAS drive matter?

I had bad luck with WD Blue 4tbs, im looking at the 4tb HGST

NAS drives usually function at a slower RPM (usually 5400 as opposed to 7200) but are more reliable and last longer.

>>59756561
And yes, you can use the NAS drive as your hard drive. I had a WD Red 3TB that I eventually gave away. Still works fine, according to the friend I gave it to.

Use something like unreal for the movement/interaction and use Maya to make the models and animations

I have an x230t, and it seems like my display panel is starting to give. How would I go about replacing it and what's the best replacement panel to buy?

And is it possible to use one of those 1080p panels that are used in the x230 (non-tablet)? If so, would pen/touch still work properly?

>Not get a job in game dev.

or

>Work grueling hours for mediocre pay on a project you hate.

So, you've got some time to figure out how you want to kill yourself once the existential crises hits critical. I suggest an exit bag, or sneaking onto a launchpad just prior to a satellite launch and letting your body get turned into plasma when the main engine ignites.

Thanks, this does actually answer something I was unclear on. Any input on specs for a rig to handle these types of tasks? It won't be too flashy.

You don't need a huge rig to run unreal or Maya, a discrete card made in the last few years should be fine.

>>59756964
Understood, but does the VR aspect contribute to how much my computer will have to handle? Should specs just be a bit above what is required for smooth VR? Also is rendering the most straining task, should I tailor my build around what it will take to rendering VR animations?

Well since you're already in academia (e.g. wasting ~50% of your time on stupid bullshit that you have to pay for) you might as well spend the time doing that instead of a womens studies class or something.

Depends on your models man, depends on how many triangles you plan on pushing.
How much the computer works should be of little concern compared to how much you're going to work on making crazy hi poly models (which you shouldn't be doing for a single man project).

That's why I'm saying start simple because every hi poly model, landscape etc is exponentially more work to create. And if you actually get to that point then go for buying more specs, but it's not going to help you now

If only you will be using it you can just write that shit in your hosts file.

For windows (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts):

se.rv.er.ip       homeserver.kek

For gnu/linux (/etc/hosts):

se.rv.er.ip       homeserver.kek     homeserver

Or something like that.

>tl;dr need somebody to reverse engineer Android app and fix a number of problems. $100+ bounty available.

So my partner and I both have these Android 4.4 head units for our cars. They're fantastic units, but the stock software leaves a lot to be desired.

To this end we don't use any of the software provided, save for the functions only available through the MCU (steering wheel controls (SWC), volume control for amp, etc.) As far as I am aware, these are all handled through an APK called JaxSettings.apk.

The primary issues with that are

>SWC ONLY works with the provided music player, which is rubbish.
>Volume control is completely independent of Android volume control.
>Screen can't be turned off independently to the system

Ideally I'd love somebody to map these functions to the standard Android pause/Rwd/FFwd/etc broadcasts so the SWC actually do something.

I've tried asking the seller (pointless exercise) and doing it myself by decompiling and deobfuscating the smali code with APKTool, Virtuous Ten Studio and ClassyShark, but as I've only really got minimal experience with C# and C++ I have no idea what I'm looking at.

I'm willing to put up $100 towards the cause myself, and there are a number of people on XDA with the same unit that would likely put up a bounty as well. The question is, where is the best place to put this bounty and actually get something done about it?

Pic semi related; me trying to port TWRP to the head unit in question. It's not going all that well.

You could, but that's not what I am trying to do. I want a Batch file that will request admin privileges for an executable. My problem is not "how to run program as admin" my problem is "how to create batch file to run program as admin".

So I know the 500 series is coming out and all. But I'd like to get an RX 480 as my sig Titan card died. Out of these listed what all do you think is the better card? The reason for some being 4gb cards is because of my Micro Center's location. Any other cards in the line up are welcome. Gaming X 480 4gb Red Devil 480 8gb Nitro+ 480 4gb Red Dragon 4 and 8gb Asus dual 8gb

>>59761423
But if you run the batch as admin, won't it run the exe as admin?

This is starting to become fascinating.

You can use mkvtoolnix to extract the subs, edit in a text editor, and then mux then back in. Some people prefer to leave subs as a separate file.

>>59760653
Zip is fine, everybody can read them. If you need to split into multiple files, use that or 7zip

Is ASUS Turbolan useful or there is no reason in installing the driver?

Should I install ghostery and noscript for firefox?
Should I get haiku?
(I'm currently using ubuntu)
Is seamonkey better than firefox?
I haven't posted on /g/ before, therefore I'm sorry if these questions are stupid
I've just been thinking I need to up my security, so this would be the best place to ask

Video playback, 4chan, and the occasional torrent are too much for it? That 900mhz Celeron m does pretty much everything but h.264 and js-heavy
sites, I was kind of hoping that the rpi3 would do better

>>59761584
Avoid ghostery like the plague. Use Ublock origin. Umatrix is better than noscript, but noscript is easier to learn. If you have a preference for seamonkey, knock yourself out. But vanilla firefox is generally the best from a security/compatibility standpoint.

>>59761419
>pixbuf
what? that package has never been installed on this machine

nothing is missing as far as i can tell. I removed mesa-libgl as it was conflicting with mesa - i had downloaded it to get compton to work but decided to keep xcompmgr - but that's it.

again, the issue is weird: urxvt and xrdb show that they are reading the .xdefaults, but their appearance doesn't reflect that.

Why did Assad use chemical weapons in a cvil war he was winning after Trump agreed to let him stay in power knowing that using chemical weapons was one of the only things that would cause the US to intervene against him?

Hard more: You can't state the obvious that rebel scum used the chemicals on themselves.

>>59761590
you need to use something like psiexec -h in the begining of the batch file then
psiexec is from systemtool pckage from MS i think

So I got done fixing a laptop for a girl but now thanks to /r9k/ I realized that it probably smells like my room which is 50% cum and 50% ass.

How do I get rid of any odors that may have attached themselves to the girls laptop? It's going back tomorrow so this is urgent.

>>59761760
Fuck it, dude. I'm just going to include a .txt that says "be sure to run as admin" with it. I'm developing a fucking ulcer from this shit.

>>59761754
One rebel group used chemical weapons against a rival

>>59761754
rebels didn't.

western "security" agencies did. or their proxy

also assad not a smart guy.
potential infiltration of regime highly likely...

>>59761775
Spray it with an entire can of axe, it's your only hope, I would use 2 cans of different scents if I were you, just to be sure.

>>59761729
So can ublock block ads on every website, but can you choose to automatically with ublock not block ads on sites that you want ads on to contribute to that website (like 4chan)

So do you believe adding both ublock and umatrix would be a good idea?

>>59761753
i meant missing from your appearances, font? background? Transparency?

>>59761827
Thanks anon I'll do that. I currently have it positioned by a plug in air freshener set to high, I know this sounds like a troll but my post is 100% real.

Small rooms + spending all day in here is the worst combination for bad smells that everyone notices but me.

>>59761785
What are you even doing/making?

Don't listen to him you moron. Smells don't attach themselves to a laptop.

Here's what will happen if you try to erase smell.
>anon, why does my laptop smell?

>>59761754
>You can't state the obvious that rebel scum used the chemicals on themselves.
You've been watching too much Sargon and his selective use of sources. Inform yourself.

>>59761848
Transparency is the big one. It's been a long time since I've seen the terminal without transparency, but I'm pretty certain that all the other colors are the same.

There does not appear to be any issues with my compositor, but i'll look into that now. I can post any relevant dotfiles upon request. (It's reading the .Xdefaults)

>>59761923
I don't watch hbo tv shows faggot

>>59761775
you don't.

she will become accustomed to your smell and through all the positive experience she gains from laptop use (pron) there will be positive accreditation to your fragrance.
profit.

>she'll associate masturbatory pleasure with your odour and become aroused when around you.

>>59761911
>Smells don't attach themselves to a laptop.
They do because all laptops smell like their owners just like every house smells different because of the people living there.

This laptop smelled sweet when it came in but I dread to think what it'll smell like when it leaves here (I've had diarrhea recently too).

>>59761839
You click a button, and a site is excluded. Easy as letting something through with noscript. Ublock and umatrix can be used together, because they focus on different things.

>>59761964
Bring the laptop outside, enjoy an hour of fresh air, then smell it.

>>59761963
I'd like that but I've never gotten that lucky in the past. Is there really science behind smells and positive experiences?

>>59761982
Alright I'll try that too when the sun comes up.

>>59761938
I managed to fix it by using "real" transparency. Not sure what was going on beforehand, since it worked perfectly before the update, but it's back to normal now. Thanks for your help, anon.

I do use that sometimes but it runs out really quickly in this house, can't wait for this weekend when the UK will have weather warm enough for me to open the windows all day and air the place out.

You sure the iso you used is bootable? Try a different iso that's known to be bootable to see if that's the problem.

Just storing archived games. Game executables need to be run as admin to create save files or even run correctly at times, and pretty much every 'run as admin' solution I've found doesn't carry over when it's archived.

I have an issue that I believe is a problem with my router.
Whenever I torrent multiple things at once my internet goes down. My torrent client will continue chugging along, but I will be unable to connect to any websites even after killing my client. I have to power cycle my router (a WRT54G) to fix this. I did not start having this problem until very recently, and I have been torrenting like mad for years.

Could there be another reason for this, or is my router just outdated? What's a good upgrade that is compatible with DD-WRT?

>>59762592
Too many simultaneous connections, old router.
On router: decrease max ports, decrease TCP &UDP timeouts.
On PC: reduce max number of connections in client

>>59762665
I already significantly decreased the max connections in my torrent client.
How low do you think I should drop the settings on the router itself?

Current settings
Max ports: 1024
TCP timeout: 300 seconds
UDP Timeout: 120 seconds

>>59762592
Use QoS if it's any good on that firmware. just search "dd-wrt torrent QoS" or something.

this will let you atleast browse somewhat while torrenting heavily.

>>59761229
>>59761164
Compile it to an exe file.
