Look up the documentation to see if you missed anything. Also try using youtube-dl without a GUI. There's also addons on FF that let you right-click and view streams on mpv using youtube-dl as a plugin.

>>59834939
Nah, that's the worst possible use case. All you'll end up doing is shitting all over every on else's signal. I'd just get something with a better wifi card. If you're really desperate, you could set one router or wireless NIC in the spot with the best reception and run a cable from it to your PC, or bridge it to a router with 5ghz to make your own wifi network.

Thinking about getting a Samsung 850 Pro for my first SSD. There is pretty much going to be no more advancements in SSDs that use SATA III right?

What was the command to open a file using a specific program, in cmd on windows? I've seen it once but I forgot the syntax.

It was something like:

open 'myfile.png' o 'myprogram.exe'

Evenin, /g/urus.

It's the guy from a few days ago who's laptop fan was running constantly despite both reasonable temperatures and lack of open programs, with a performance hit topping it all off. i'm here with a status update.

>Spray the exit zone too, for good measure
>Fan seems to work now, thank god
>Put it back together, turn it on

>Like, less than one percent of what SHOULD be blowing out at it's speed.
>Recently decide to check task manager with Enter the Gungeon up, just to make sure that the performance hit wasn't some stupid virus or whatever
>Gungeon lags just enough to be annoying

Dont they sell anything thats basically two routers already bridged like you explained but in a more compact package?

Also, I suppose I could get a better wifi card, but how do I know what wifi cards are good? And compatible with my laptop? There aren't much resources avaliable to look for as there is for cpus for example.

>>59835144
You're missing the point. Taking in a wifi signal and re transmitting it from the same spot is a really terrible way of handling things. One signal fights with the other, in addition to fighting with all nearby network traffic. And then you get at least 2x the latency. And since you only have access to the very edge of the primary router's network anyway, you're probably not going to get amazing reception to begin with. Retransmitting a shitty source doesn't make it less shitty. What you want is one optimally placed receiver that can convert the signal to a wired connection. What you do from there is up to you, but I would advise against creating any additional wifi traffic, especially over 2.4 ghz. There are a lot of decent USB wireless NICs. Alfa makes some powerful ones. With routers it's a matter of finding one that can be set as a wireless bridge.

Though from what i saw, getting to the fan SHOULD be pretty easy. Still gonna look up a video guide on my phone if i do it though.

Getting a backup external HDD for gramps, running macOS Sierra w/ Time Machine and Thunderbolt v2 connections. Hesitant to recommend an expensive external hard drive if there is such a thing as desktop enclosure for custom hard drives. Better with RAID of some kind. Couldn't find anything in the archive.

My understanding of the current market for Hard Drives is that 1 TB drives are very stable, and increasing capacity brings increasing failure rate. No needs for huge amounts of data, so 5 TB drives seem... too risky for their cost.

Recommendations for either an external hard drive with about 2 TB of capacity, or an enclosure into which I can stick some stable drives? Thanks.

>>59836210
Fans are really easy to replace.
You will need to fully disassemble it since you need to remove the motherboard from the case to do it properly.

Some heatsink fans need to remove the cooper pipe, and if you do that you need to clean with isopropyl alcohol and put new paste, can get tricky if you never did it.
I doubt you will have to do it though.

Trying to update my Chipset drivers because the one in device manager is just the "Standard AHCI ... driver".

I tried installing the general Intel Chipset Driver INF thing from Intel.com but the install failed

I am using WIn8.1 and CPU-Z shows pic related as my Chipset info

On my manufacturer page, there is no chipset driver listed either, although I did see one for this PC under the Windows Vista OS but I'm guessing it's not a good idea to install that if I'm using 8.1

Can someone let me know what I s hould be doing to update this?

Also another question about drivers. When looking up the Hardware ID, sometimes it shows multiple (some with the REV suffix). What does this mean? Which one is the most important that I should note? Also is there like a site where I can input the HID and it just gives me the exact driver for it?

Googling it always leads me to some driverupdater.com type site which I don't trust.

Also, have you ever heard if its not broken dont fix it?

>>59836438
I understand that notion, and for drivers that at least aren't generic I pretty much leave them be. But I figure the Chipset driver affects performance quite a bit and right now I only have the Generic one from Windows (I just reinstalled Windows)

I dont know

>>59836427
I've had 3DP Chip break certain shit for me when using it for drivers but I suppose it's my best bet

>>59836404
the INF driver package just gives things proper names, doesn't change anything to do with AHCI. For that you need the Intel Rapid Storage driver, or if your board has a SATA 6.0 controller, you need the one from the chip's manufacturer

>>59836456
It doesn't affect performance at all.
Based in your motherboard it might affect some power relate functions windows uses (Like screen brightness control).
Efficiency/Power consumption too.
But this is when you use a old OS on new hardware, not when you use a new OS on old hardware which is your case.

>>59836456
Only part of the chipset driver that has any noticeable effect is SATA controller.

We just bought the Benq MW 633 1 month ago and yesterday the lamp didn't turned on and a led that announce that the lamp is wrecked started flashing. We tried restarting it, unplug it, letting it run for several minutes and nothing.

Then, i found in a 2004 forum post that removing the lamp and reinstalling it may solve the problem. Honestly, it sounded stupid, but i tried anyway and IT WORKED! but it makes no sense to me since i already tried unplugging the projector. ¿can someone tell me what happened?

Stubs are when a hidden post can still be viewed, but it's reduced only to the poster name. Disabling stubs hides them completely, as though they were never posted. You can either disable stubs globally from the settings or toggle them for each filter by adding stub:yes; or stub:no; after the filter regex. Naturally, if you have stubs enabled globally you don't have to use the stub:yes; setting for every filter and vice-versa. Those are used as exceptions to the global rule.

On older versions of windows, 7 and down you should be able to retrieve your key via software. I suppose if someone was dedicated they could steal that and use it. That being said no one would ever need or want to.

Anything later than that gets imprinted to the hardware its installed on. It wont work on any other motherboard, and it wont even work on the same motherboard after the CPU has been changed more than twice.

Thank you dubs man.

I recently built a PC with a new CPU/mobo (Gigabyte Z170X-GAMING 3), went for that one in part because it's supposed to have semi-decent onboard audio for the price.

It does. BUT plugging the headphones in the rear panel results in the headphones picking up lots of electronic noise (you can hear dial-up like noise when moving the mouse around and CPU or HDD load), plugging them in the front panel eliminates the noise, or at least the vast majority of it, which is really weird, I assumed doing that would only introduce more noise.

Is it a ground loop? Would using toslink + external DAC eliminate the noise, or should I get one of these ground loop isolator things?

Could I get rid of it by connecting the PC directly to the outlet instead of a power strip?

I had a Kaby Lake CPU and reset it several times trying to update the bios. It made sense to assume it was the CPU that was the problem at the time, I couldn't imagine the screen/hdmi being an issue when I could even see the debian install shit and post.

Wrong assumption coupled with repeated handling of the mobo eventually just killed it.

Is there some kind of bridge I can place between the RAM and motherboard of a device so I can have a live representation of that device's memory and search it (and possibly edit it) remotely?

it pretends having a much higher resolution then you actually have, so images are rendered at that resolution and then downscaled, yielding better antialiasing.

Is there a big performance hit for it?

Worth looking into, worst case they'll just tell you that you can't use those ports. With some providers they don't block absolutely everything, but rather just a certain (wide) range. Try forwarding a much higher numbered port (30000+) and see if it works.

>>59844604

I use Windows along aside Ubuntu (i managed do make Ubuntu accessible only by hitting F10 [Boot Menu screen] on boot, you wouldn't even realize Ubuntu is installed without checking out the Boot Menu screen).

Okay. I absolutely have no choice now. Does current year windows have a text editing solution without hopping to a GUI? I'm not asking about 3rd party programs. I can't going installing a whole bunch of shit on other peoples machines. Does such an editor exist right out of the box? I see get-content add-content set-content in Powershell.

Hello I am trying to watch a livestream of csgo on youtube, but it's keep on buffering. I have fast internet.

Youtube would be a strange thing for your ISP to throttle. Do you have anything else going on on the nework?

>>59846543
No I just gave up and started watching a HD twitch no problem. If youtube would work I would use it.

>>59846442
i'm pretty sure UTF-16 was first of those 3, it's fixed-length nature proved to be too restricted, so it needed to be replaced
presumably to avoid the same problem, UTF-8 is variable-length, make it extensible
since it's variable-length, there's really no reason not to start at 8-bit, plus, being 8-bit allows it to be directly compatible with ASCII (ASCII text run through a UTF-8 decoder just werks)
UTF-32 is fixed-length, i haven't heard much about it, i imagine it's only really used as an internal thing, as working with fixed-length data is easier from a machine/programming point of view

>>59845465
That doesn't even mean anything. In order for it to "claim" you were on the other side of the country, it would need to be passing the connection through an IP on the other side of the country

>>59846573
ps. by fixed and variable length, i mean each character is represented by either a fixed or variable length set of bytes
that is, not all characters in UTF-8 take up 1 byte (8 bits), some use 2, some 3
wheras with UTF-16/32, each character is always 2 bytes (utf-16) or 4 bytes (utf-32)

>>59846573
>>59846650
oh, and to give an example of how UTF-32 can be easier to work with programmatically
lets say you want to retrieve the 100th character from a text file, with UTF-32, you can simply seek 100*4 bytes into the file, and there's your 100th character
but with UTF-8, you can't do that, you need to decode every character before the 100th, since each one may be a different length

that's easier, but it's really down to what logo it is
if every edge is different enough from white, and you don't mind potentially-rough edges, then the fuzzy select tool in gimp might be enough
if it's a two-color logo (that is, one color, and the background color), then that's really easy, as the image can simply be turned into an alpha mask, applied to a layer of the logo's color

not entirely sure what you mean
are you asking what to do once you have a selection? just hit delete. if you just get a white background (again), then you need to add an alpha channel to the layer first

>Sequential processing- a single CPU performing a sequence of instructions one after the other
>Parallel processing- two or more CPUs working together in tandem on instructions

Is this an accurate albeit basic description of the two types of processing?

>>59847629
sounds like you get the most from your gpus
"waiting for the next gen" is a fools game, if one's about to come out, and you don't /need/ one until then, *and* you're eyeing high-end models then sure, ok
but if you're after the mid-end, then it probably makes more sense just to get the current, or even a high-end from the previous gen, as they will be more cost-effective

>>59847654
>two or more CPUs working together in tandem on instructions
this could be interpreted as two cpus working on the same set of instructions, which isn't accurate
parallel processing isn't as simple as adding more cpus to the same program, but rather splitting the program's job(s) into separate, smaller jobs, which allow for muliple cpus to work on multiple jobs, in parallel. it's still one job per cpu
