Downloaded and installed Windows 10 LTSB from windows' site, it's supposed to be a 90 day evaluation version where after 90 days it just says install but you don't have to, you can just close out the prompt. The problem is it says I must activate my copy before I can customize anything, anyone know what I can do? I don't think I can get a real LTSB activation key from them because it's not meant for personal use.

I have questions regarding racks.

1) So let's see if I get this, an external 3.5" rack will allow me to turn my old regular hdd from my PC into an external hdd right? The rack doesn't require a special hdd or any other stuff?

2) Why the hell do internal racks exist? I can just mount my hdd in the case.

3) Why the fuck are 3.5" racks twice more expensive than 2.5" racks? The components are identical, a SATA-USB and another USB for power.

4) Why the hell do 2.5" racks even exist? 2.5" hdd are very rare as separate components. Do laptop owners repurpose their 2.5" hdds that often?

5) How does a singular external rack cool the hdd?

if you need to add text one by one use appendtext on your textbox, otherwise use a stringbuilder and set the text once it's complete.
no need to redraw the window for every line then.
see msdn for appendtext or stringbuilder.
to make a new line use environment.newline manually or the appendline method on the stringbuilder

Is there a way to repackage, a program that's already installed to installable format?

>>60030483
on windows?
depends on the program. most programs today install by just decompressing the application files and put a shortcut into your start menu.
some more complex ones install their services that need to run.
and some old shitty ones pollute the registry with nonsense.

Will this allow to transfer the driver files?

>>60030559
Yes, on windows.
Is there a program that will do it?
I know if it's just decompressing, then simply copying the files will do.
But what if it has some services/.dll/registry entries?

not that I know of, there's no unified way of installing. every program could potentially do it differently.
you have to do it manually.
figure out what the application needs, copy it over to somewhere else and install/register the services.

>>60030604

>>60030566
It might work. I'd try two or three different programs. And if it's really fucking important maybe do a macrium image of your system drive in case you end up having to go back. Your safest bet would be to keep looking for the driver installer. If you go to device manager, click on it's properties, details tab, what does it say under "compatible id's"

>>60030675
they only do GET requests, not POST.
Buttons and other form stuff are generally submitted using POST, not GET.
Besides, how would they enter payment/shipping options? They don't fill out forms.

It might be possible for an online shop to purely work on GET requests, but I have high doubts anyone would do that to themselves, a lot more effort for no gains at all.

Anyone else use dropbox and have it consistently seize up after about a day or so of uptime? I only notice it when windows explorer starts refusing to show file icons/thumbnails, and the only fix is to terminate both processes and restart it. It's been doing this shit for months and I'm sick of it.

And now I've had a situation where dropbox went and deleted shit I put into it during a time when I neglected to start it back up again (instead of simply "catching up" and syncing the stuff I added). Now I can't trust it and I refuse to fucking babysit it anymore. If I can't fix this then fuck dropbox.

Failing that, what's a good alternative to dropbox?

If you want your computer to literally explode, it's a good choice.

Come on guys give me some desktop app project that I can do in python. I want to make something but i don't have any idea what

>>60030871
Well the more non-standard something is, the less likely that the driver programs will pick it up. If you also need some kind of application ( i.e. >>60030483 ), then you're almost certainly boned. This is not a thing that windows does well. Your best bet is to take whatever info you can and scour the internet. If you do find something that MIGHT work, then like I said, you can do a full partition backup, and if it's a no-go, revert back easily.

89 vs 0. And torrents are usually bottom tier. Also there's the small fact that you can install adobe ENTIRELY WITH SHIT FROM THEIR OWN WEBSITE. At least you could for a long time, if you weren't too retarded to use a VM. Tards always buying into the "b-b-but reddit!" meme.

They certainly wouldn't be valid, but they still could be valid.

Can someone explain why I can cross-origin request by proxying through YQL (Yahoo Query Language using their servers for things like a website's RSS feed, yet I violate CORS when doing it myself? What about using YQL makes it so that Yahoo isn't violating CORS?

>>60031216
jesus i thought my shitposting was a little more obvious

>89 vs 0
if we are using that metric there's usually some 2k leechers on this particular torrent at any given time.

>>60031278
because their server side language doesn't care about cross origin, where your browser does.
in their header they tell your browser that they allow you fetching stuff from them and will then fetch it on their server side from the original server ignoring the headers.

easiest way to replicate is to set up a proxy in your server and map a directory to a different server.
how depends on the server. see proxy_pass for nginx.

What GPU do I need to play Overwatch and Skyrim at decent quality in 4k? Doesn't need to be everything at ultra, but like nice lights and shadows would be cool.

All the benchmarks only refer to BF1 or Doom or whatever and I don't care about that

>>60032318
Looks like a pentium 4 (single core, early 2000s). You could probably run windows 7 on it, but I'd stick to Lubuntu or peppermint. You should be able to use an SSD, and it will perform better than a hard drive, but it won't use the SSD's full speed. Looks like the expansion slot of choice was AGP, so the best graphics card you would be able to put in there was probably made 7-10 years ago. If you just have random ram lying around there is almost zero chance it will fit.

posted here lask week about my laptop that won't get to windows after the latest w10 update
now i mamaged to get my stuff off of the hd,i did a freah w10 reinstall while the hd was in another laptop,everything was just fine,it booted then i shut it down then put the hd into my laptop and now i'm getting this
any help?
tried lots of things with the bios but no luck

>>60032500
windows always makes a system restore point before updating try that

>>60032398
have you tried googling "overwatch 4k" ?

>>60032497
Then I'd just scale the resolution back to 1080 for games and get an rx 580. 1080p gets perfect 4/1 scaling

>>60032527
i tried EVERYTHING on the recovery disk possible,i already reinstalled

>>60032551
what YOU would do is not relevant, he wants to play the game at 4k and you havent even come close to even giving any kind of answer to his question. shut the fuck up and go kill yourself you useless waste of oxygen

>>60032500
>reinstall while the hd was in another laptop
This is not the way to do it. Put the drive you want in the laptop you want, then do your clean install. Copy files at leisure. Done.

>>60032551
You know that's what I've been doing so far because my 7970 can handle THAT.

>>60032565
so you took that hard drive and put in another computer and reinstalled windows on that?
your boot manager is on the other computer's drive. you should only have the HDD you're installing on connected when you do this.
go into BIOS and see if it even detects the drive then reinstall windows again with just that drive.

>>60032591
>>60032590
>>60032565
also, put the fucking drive in the PC you will use it on. it's a bad idea to install on another PC and then move the hard drive because windows detects the hardware and installs drivers for that and can go nuts when you put it in a new system

>>60032398
I'd say a 1070 as something affordable. At 4k in both of those games that'd be your best bet and a simple google says the same basically.

1080 if you have the money.

I don't even know why you'd want 4k in OW to be honest, but I can understand the eye-candy for Skyrim.

Overwatch is pretty busy visually either way so most players tone it down and make it more performance friendly. I'd say 1080p or 1440p with a high refresh rate monitor is better for games like OW.

>>60032586
i would've done that if i could,it didn't want to boot into the installation disk for whatever reason

>>60032591
yes
bios detects the drive no prob,i can even choose to boot from the drive from the bios itself
fucking around with the bios is my only option then?that sucks

>>60032618
Best bet is to wait for Vega, then either buy Vega or a 1080 Ti because it'll come down to a more reasonable price like $500 w/o the nvidia tax for having no competition.

>>60032718
you hooked it up to your laptop, yes? how exactly? did you unplug the original one in your laptop?

and the BIOS shit you wanna look for is called Boot Order or similar.

>>60032739

put it in an enclosure
took all of my shit off of it through laptop #2
put it in laptop #2

put it back into laptop #1
now that error is all im getting when trying to boot the hd that i reinstalled windows on
i fucked around with boot order and the boot menu,no luck

>>60032590
A 580 should be able do 4k overwatch pretty well. I'd guess you can get 4k skyrim if you're flexible with the settings. If that's all the games you need 4k for, it would be hard to justify going up to the next price tier.

>>60032803
attach hd #1 to laptop #2 as a secondary drive and run a diagnostics tool

also see if you can put files and read files from it

>>60032792
PCIe came into existence in 2004, so it's POSSIBLE, but even if you could get the 750 into it, it probably wouldn't work all that well. Plus the PSU probably wouldn't have the right connectors. And if you spend practically anything on this, you basically waste money that would go a lot farther toward buying another rig on ebay, unless you're just in it to have fun with legacy hardware, and you can usually do that a lot cheaper on craigslist etc.

>>60032825
how do i connect it as a secondary drive?
im pretty sure the hd itself is fine,when i put it in laptop #2 it was fully functional

>>60032876
Try this. Lock laptop 2 in closet. Forget it exists. Put drive 1 in laptop 1. Boot linux. See if drive shows up.

>>60032869
>but even if you could get the 750 into it, it probably wouldn't work all that well.

just use a fucking molex to pci-e adapter.

I'm using emacs like a dickhead. When I save an encrypted .gpg file with 'enriched-mode,' all the formatting is gone when I open it again. What do?

>>60032923
Even if he could find a mobo that supports PCIe (clearly a waste of $$), getting a PCIe 3 card to work over a 1.1 slot has a solid chance of not working, and the bandwidth limitations would be less than ideal. Plus we're still talking about strapping a 750 to a processor from around 2001.

>>60033005
Also I found out that, if I just decrypt and cat the file in the terminal, all the markup is still there in the file. It's just not recognized by emacs, even if enriched-mode is enabled.

>>60032944
Frowny face is not a useful response. Alright, you've successfully installed windows on the drive you want to use, yes? Just boot that up and run crystaldiskinfo

Nothing I said is even wrong.

>>60033076
yes you are wrong. graphics cards are backwards compatible with all pci-e versions you fucking tard.

Should i keep my VMs in the system drive or in the data drive?

>>60033098
Technically they're supposed to be, but manufactures aren't super concerned with making sure their tech fits with decade old hardware. It's really up to them how dependent they make their card on the power saving features etc implemented in newer versions of the spec. AMD said fuck it fairly early on, although there's a chance low end Nvida would work. Either way it sounds this guy was trying to get the best bang for his buck, and didn't realize he was even buying a 15 year old kit. So the practical answer is probably throw it all in a bin and buy something that won't cost 3x it's own price in electricity every year.

>>60033076
and you're also wrong about the bandwidth because like you said the CPU is gonna bottleneck the fuck out of the GPU anyway so the bandwidth is irrelevant.

now fuck off

>>60033158
Not system drive if possible. It's best to avoid competition with the host OS.

>>60033185
Kek. Read your own article

"While it is true that PCI SIG while developing PCI express slots made sure that they remain compatible with each other, it is the GRAPHIC CARD manufactures (i.e Nvidia & AMD) and the sub vendors (Saffire, Zotac, EVGA etc) that really make the difference!
We all know that the AMD Radeon HD 7000 series is extremely power efficient. Having said that it comes at a cost. This power efficiency comes due to the new electrical interface featured in PCIe v3.0 and 2.0 slots and is ABSENT in PCIe v1.1 slots. Hence they are NOT COMPATIBLE."

>UPDATE: (After reading the comments I went back to researching again over this question and I must partly decline my statement of the PCIe configuration not being backward compatible. They in fact are very much compatible after a motherboard update (In some cases even the update wasn't needed. Sorry for the misguided information but I tried my best of reaching to the root of this controversy and reached a partially mistaken conclusion. So once again guys, if your graphic card doesn't work on your old motherboard then an UPDATE from from motherboard manufacturer will most likely solve your problem. My sincere apologies for any inconvenience or confusion caused. Thank you for all sharing your helpful experiences, as my final aim was to help ease the confusion and frustration that is involved with building a PC for the 1st time. Cheers to PC gaming!)

>>60033423
Claiming that every manufacturer is going to release an update for their mobo is really stretching it. They barely even do that today. A pentium 4 era company could have easily gone out of buisness or just decided not to give a fuck. I stand by my original statement, that there's a decent chance the board wouldn't work. It's exactly the sort of misunderstanding that led the author to be wrong in the first place. Thanks for the pic though.

You're going down to the comments to support your argument? Maybe next time pick a better article. I also said that AMD put less energy into keeping up the standard. And that was before the 750 even came out.

I went back to return a tape that I rented the other day and the store wanted to charge me a fee because I forgot to rewind it first, is that really standard practice? Managed to get the guy to waive it after I argued for a half hour and eventually got the manager involved, but it seems like bullshit to me. Don't they have some machine they can use for that or something?

>>60034245
That's standard, because it would be far too much of a bother for them to do it on all the tapes. As such they make it a policy with an associated fee. If they started making exceptions, eventually everyone would demand and/or abuse the exception.

Is debian better than ubuntu in terms of battery life on a laptop? considering I would use xfce or maybe gnome?

>>60034330
Ubuntu is Debian, just with usability shit slapped on top. You can make them virtually identical as far as battery life goes.

Use as few graphical elements as possible. That way you can keep your screen brightness low (plain text has less detail and better contrast) and not tax your CPU. These together will prolong your battery life significantly. Also turn off WiFi and Bluetooth whenever possible.

Programming newb here. Java question...

How would I do something like this?

Say I have:

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();

list.add("John");
list.add("Sally");
list.add("Bob");

and I want to create a hashmap that loops through list and add all the strings in list followed by the number 1.

Second part.

How would I look through the hashmap and look for "Bob" and if "Bob" appears add a plus 1 to his value?

This is a made up problem on my part so it doesn't really make sene other than I'm trying to understand how to use hashmaps in java.

I built a pc like a week back and the front audio port for headphones isn't playing audio in the left earbud. I reinstalled all the audio drivers and swapped out several headphones to make absolute sure that it's the headphone port. I'm 100% certain the issue is localized to the front port only. This is the case.

>https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Micro-ATX-Computer-Gaming-CASE-V06/dp/B01GSQ2I22

The back audio port works just fine with headphones and the speakers in the monitor work fine as well. The thought of RMAing a fucking case does not sound like something I would in any way enjoy so would it be possible to fix the HD Audio port? Anyone have any suggestions?

I've got a Linux box w/ a network facing NIC that has an IPv6 /48 allocation routed to it.

What I want to do is announce separate /64 prefixes to a number of bridges and have any virtual guets on those bridges do SLAAC to get a publicly routed IPv6 address.

So there's basically a trunk bridge tied a number of sub-bridges (ms paint related.) In this example br1 and br2 should have separate /64 allocations. However if I have radvd announce on `br2` for e.g, the announcement propagates to `br1` and `br0` since they're just switches.

How do I keep radvd traffic local to a bridge, while still allowing the guests to talk to devices on other bridges / beyond the edge router? I think what I want is VLANs possibly?

Hello /g/'s
I have a question of questionable intelligence about VPNs and their privacy policies.

A rule of thumb about VPNs is: because you can't know if VPN is logging, always assume they do, despite what they say.

BUT:
>VPN Provider’s No-Logging Claims Tested in FBI Case

https://torrentfreak.com/vpn-providers-no-logging-claims-tested-in-fbi-case-160312/

Does that mean that PIA can be trusted?

I just recently found out, that EU requires it's members ISPs to keep logs and my nation has laws which allows to some institutions request ISP to monitor any user activity on the internet.

Which sucks, because I use torrents.
Fuck... even if I leave mean comment under some article in native news website, they can turn off my internet for couple of days. I can even get fined if they'll think my comment was harmful. (don't really care about these, but it's ridiculous)

So, this FBI case means that PIA is trustworthy?

here's a question that's been on my mind

what do yall think about those "97% off discount learn language/program/skill guaranteed everything top etc" packages/certification things?

i know there are millions of free resources and testimonies of people who didn't spend a cent and are now super knowledgeable on the subject and stuff but still. they look super structured and as though they actually teach you to at least some level of competency (from the reviews/professor teaching, etc). i always think they're bs usually but idk, it's somewhat tempting desu.

just wondering what you guys think

Im about to reflash my phone since its stuck in bootloop mode, any way i can recover the stuff?

Is there a usual likely cause of brightness settings not working with Debian on a laptop? Keyboard Fn buttons and DE gui slider both don't do anything after hours of googling.

>>60038581
Because I want to be sure before I spend $300 on it. Anyway, like I said, thanks.

There really is absolutely no reason to go W10, especially for games.

I mean shit, even stuff like Mass Effect 2 won't work at all on it and even older stuff is a nightmare.

Why is proprietary software so much more sophisticated than open source?

Also what's the best argument to use linux over windows? Is it anything to do regarding the actual quality of the software or does it mainly have to do with the privacy argument?

Are there mirrors for the old Cyanogen roms? I need Lollipop but Lineage doesn't go back that far. My phone hasn't had active development in a long time so Marshmallow is still wicked buggy.

is there such a thing as generic windows network drivers? my ethernet and wireless continue to drop out. i am getting tired of manually disabling then re-enabling by connection.

>>60038719
>Why is proprietary software so much more sophisticated than open source?
Not how it works. Depends on the developer(s) and scope of the program and funding.

>what's the best argument to use linux over windows?
Control, security, customization, and privacy.

>>60038756
have you checked XDA?

>>60038935
kinda, windows has quite a few basic NIC drivers for the most common ones on the installer, but you should go to your mobo manuf. website and download the latest drivers for your shit

I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a Ryzen build with only 3.0 USB ports, I have followed what another anon suggested some days ago by replacing the install.wim of a bootable windows 10 USB by the install.wim from a windows 7 ultimate iso. It works well until the computer restarts. Then neither my keyboard or mouse are recognised. Is there a known way go go further than this ?

I bought a software license for a program called MakeMKV. I use it extensively as I have a rather large collection of DVDs and Blu-ray. I had to do a Windows re-install because I moved from Intel to Ryzen. I completely forgot to make a note of my key. That said, I've already sent an email to MKV support.

I also have the PayPal invoice regarding payment to the company they use. Avangate. On the chance I get fucked over and support is completely unresponsive, what are my options?

Is there a way to include the 3.0 drivers with the Win Install?

>>60039023
yes you can bake them into the installer.

>>60039022
For ripping a Blu-ray? Handbrake can do that? Since when? I use handbrake to shrink the rips sure.
>>60039010
Try slip streaming the USB 3.0 driver during the install.

I can't run a Breath of the Wild emulator on my rig because I have only a low-tier I5 cpu and the emulator isn't optimized enough to run at 30 fps for anything less than a solid I7.

I have a second PC with a second I5. Is there a way to have both processors run the emulator together to lighten the workload an achieve a playable fps like pic related?

>>60039073
yes. yes. use mstoolkit or kmspico from MDL forums.

yes but not sure how it deals with DRM.

>Also what's the best argument to use linux over windows? Is it anything to do regarding the actual quality of the software or does it mainly have to do with the privacy argument?
1) It's free.
2) The privacy argument.
3) Compulsory open source deployment for user-created software ensures that projects that began separately will be able to grow together as demand arises for their interoperability, allowing for a more global cross-app consistency of experience than proprietary programs, and programs for proprietary platforms, are legally / financially able to offer. "It just works," as they say -- in this case because usually someone noticed it WASN'T "just working," decided to fix it out of self-interest, and was authorized to do so free of charge under the GPL.
3) Linux software generally operates at a lower level of abstraction, which makes good software more efficient and bad software unsafe to use. The latter is generally of little concern to Linux users, because minimalist recovery disks can be prepared in a streamlined manner that costs nothing, presents no legal issues, and involves only files that are painless to find and download on account of the absence of any copyright claims in their regard.
4) Malfunctioning or misused software actually provides useful error messages instead of user-friendly but excessively generic "encountered a problem and needs to close" bullshit. If anything doesn't "just work," it gives you enough information to trivially MAKE it work, as long as you have Google.
5) The compiler is lightweight, comes with the system, conforms to the C standard, and imposes no restrictions (such as royalties) on how you're allowed to use its output.
6) If you don't like the UI, you can just replace it. In fact, you don't have to use it at all.
7) The command line is more versatile. You can even install new software with it in just four words, without ever having to touch an Internet browser.

My Windows 10 stopped booting, it goes into an endless spinning animation, similar to attached picture, except without the Windows logo.

I tried automatic repair, did nothing, I tried using chkdsk, also did nothing. Even tried both refreshing and resetting to no avail, returns some basic "couldn't reset" error. Anyone know anything about this?

All my important personal files are backed up, but not Windows itself, nor is there a restore point.

The copy is genuine, upgraded from 8 > 10 if it matters.

Right now I have a seagate and adata external hard drive for backup and I have to make do with one of them.
I have heard seagate has one of the worst failure rates for hdd and adata seems to be chink shit tier. Both seem like bad options but like I said, for now that's the only thing I have. Which one is less likely to fail? I want the hard drive for backup and occasionally retrieve some files from it, if that helps.

Also I tested writing and reading from them and the adata hard drive's light blinked red sometimes during transference when it originally is blue. The seagate one didn't had that problem. Right now I'm inclining for the seagate drive.

If I select "clear data" am I deleting videos I have saved? My videos folder is only 240 megs, so this is some shit.

Lololol just went through this exact thing.

Try safe mode and rolling back updates. (Safe mode wouldn't even boot for me)

Alternatively do what I just did and format it, install a lean and mean copy of Win 7 again and never touch that rancid pile of bloat again.

no you fucking retard, it occupies 24MB. something related to that uses 3.5GB

ll I have no idea what I deleted with wiping its data, but I now have gained 4 entire gigs of space when previously I was cherrypicking single-megabyte porn images to delete.

I only had to enable the loop function in the app, but otherwise it seems exactly the same.

I'm secretly butthurt about you calling me a retard, but you gave me the balls to go through with it, and it benefited me greatly, so thank you. This was cucking me for months.

>>60039678
Oh, and, I had to wipe the cache every few daysm then reload thumbnails in my image viewer just to have enough memory to keep he tablet useable.

Being able to delete this data shite without consequence helps me so much.

>>60039658
those are two different things. you can download the legit installer/ISO, but you still have to activate it. dont download pre-activated version cus they're likely infected.

use mstoolkit or kmspico for 10 and daz loader for 7.

>>60039678
there's probably a way to see what data files the program has stored but im not familiar with smartphones.

>>60039713
so why are you using that no-name app instead of VLC?

>>60039747
It didn't seem to have looping. Same with stock, and a few other apps I saw /g/ recommend.

>>60039720
desu I assume my image viewer of choice (quickpic) just saves copies of images I open, in the cache. I think that app was just mirroring every video I've ever watched to access it easier. But the cache wasn't deleting it, so it was silently fucking me hard on space, until now.

Can you set animated gifs as your avatar in Windows 10?

My entire experience with W10 has been an endless trainwreck.

It practically ruined our studio overnight as we have to leave machines running to upload huge files or batch render shots (tv/film) but W10 will happily install updates and restart whenever the fuck it wants. Try disabling it through regedit, renables itself. Ended up scheduling a script to run at startup just to nuke it's bullshit every day but even that wasn't 100%

We were back on W7 within the week.

where to watch anime online?

>>60040091
Crunchyroll. 480p and ads if you're a free member. Ads easily blockable. Or $6 a month for membership.

>>60040091
I just google he anime name and add "english sub" at the end.

If you get no results/ no good results, the "due to copyright takedown requests we filterrd out resulr" or whatever hyperlink will specifically take you to confirmed working uploads. Which is silly, but I used this for One Punch Man, because somehow the results showed fucking nothing otherwise.

However the circlejerk answer is to respond to you with ">streaming anime" and nothing else.

>>60040123
I heard subbers get their subs from crunchyroll, and it was a way to watch subbed Konosuba for free. But it lagged for me, so I torrented it since I liked it enough

>>60040091
>>60040123
9anime 720p no ads with adblocker

>>60040091
Masterani.me has been good for me, and it doesn't look like ass.

adata doesn't make hard drives, they just make the enclosure around it.

Seagate is fine.

Theres no way to tell which one will fail first.

I'm trying to run a cracked simulation program for windows using wine/debian.
Every time I run Program.exe, I get an error message saying "Program_gui.exe not found!" even though Program_gui.exe is in the same folder. I even tried copying Program_gui.exe into several folders the program could be looking through. I've also tried simply running Program_gui.exe, which opens the gui but claims product key authentication failed.

If one program searches for another program (which definitely exists), does that mean the path variable for wine/linux is flawed, or is Program.exe hard-coded to only search through a specific windows pathway? What could I do to fix this?

how do you make a pc silent? I turned off all the fans and I can still hear this massive generator noise. Not sure if its coming from the PSU (pic related) or the motherboard itself.
