Welcome to the Stupid Questions Thread!

Which DataVac should I purchase:

ESD Safe Electric Duster ED-500ESD

or

Pro Series MDV-1BA

?

How do I find out which wireless card works for my laptop?

I bought a laptop in 2012, but without a wireless adapter. Now I want to buy a wireless card (rather than an USB dongle), but I have no clue how I find a compatible one that both works and fits in.
The manufacturer lists a few, but it has been 5 years now, surely there's something better by now, right?

My chipset seems to be:
intel(r) 7 series/c216

>>60242527
Which laptop?

First, find out if your laptop has a BIOS whitelist, and if it does, can it be removed. If it does then you can only use the range of cards that the manufacturer used, sometimes even needing the particular variant with their part number.

If no or removable whitelist, you can use anything that fits the same slot, which for you is most likely half mini PCIe, an Intel 7260 is gpod, dual band WiFi 802.11ac, has bluetooth too, reasonably cheap.

I have a fuckton of .zip files

They contain folders with some other files on them. I want to take every single zip file in that folder and make it so there's no folders inside, just the files. As in, no folder structure.

Is it possible to do this with any program?

I've been trying to update my MBP for weeks. App store asks me for my apple ID password before downloading updates, but it's stuck in a loop and won't accept the password, just keeps asking for the passwords. It's definitely the right password, I can sign in to the apple ID site

What in the absolute fuck is a huge company like PayPal doing making mistakes like these? How the fuck do I register without risking not being able to connect my cards due to the dates not aligning?
>>
>>60242664
>Intel 7260
I think the manufacturer doesn't use whitelists, since he's really lenient in letting users open and maintain the laptops, so I'll just get the Intel 7260.

Thank you.

is the input of type date?
if so, then your browser started supporting its native date picker and shows you your localized date format instead of paypals one.

Arch. If youre up to the challange, you can tweak it to sub 5ms. Its not easy. If youre not that technical, then stick with windows. ASIO4ALL isnt compatible with Linux in the way it is on windows. Plus reaper has grown in leaps and bounds, and you can find cracks for logic everywhere.

>>60243155
I too use ff and find it only struggles when i want to close 30 or 40 tabs at once, or reopen then. otherwise keeping fuckloads open isnt an issue. I too am on the 32gb time.

there are private companies that sell satellite images to corporations, specifically DOD. they dont capture their own images.

not without first extracting every single zip. best off writing a script to extract, put the contents of the each sub folder into the main folder of that zip, delete the folders, recompress, delete the remainder.

OSX technically it's unix still, and if you've already used debian, OSX is really easy to get down. Go get yourself a mac mini, their like 100 on amazon if you can.

I do music anon and I would recommend doing it on windows cause installing it all on it will just be easier with VSTs and editing.

What's the best filesystem for a backup drive?

NTFS is kinda tedious to debug when something happens to the drive since you have to get on windows to chkdsk every damn time something stupid happens.

Is ext4 a good idea? Or is there something else other than NTFS and FAT32?

>>
>>60243340
Depends what you mean by updated. The companies who take the images? Who fucking knows. The army base I am based at has a global map that is 11 years old now. Which means half of the fucking base isnt on it, because its too old. That company still exists though, so I know its a legit thing. Fucked if I can remembr it now.

7 will not install with a 10 license key, you'd need to get a license key for 7 to do the install.

Also, 7 has no USB 3.0 drivers so most likely the USB ports, maybe touchpad too won't work without installing the driver, which can be tricky. Also there's no integrated graphics driver support, so performance will be shit unless you've got a dedicated GPU in it which you can exclusively switch on, which will make battery life kinda shit, and also isn't possible on a lot of new machines.

Hello /sqt/,
I own a T420 which has a HMT351S6CFR8C-H9 4GB DDR3 ram module, and I want to buy another 8GB one.
I came across this one: CT102464BF160B (http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ct102464bf160b)
I know it is a DDR3L. My question is if it will work as a DD3R in sync with the other 4GB module on my T420.
Anybody familiar with this? (I want that 8GB DDR3L because I might get another one in the future to reach a total of 16gigs)

So I formated a shitty old pre installed original windows 8 laptop and installed windows 7 instead.

Everything works fine except with one problem, windows can't find the webcam, even if the webcam driver from the manufacturer is installed it doesn't work, I can't find the webcam in "device manager" but there's one unknown device there.

Pic related sorry about the spanish

Also I can't find windows 8 drivers on the manufacturer website, only windows 7 drivers. http://www.exo.com.ar/content/nice-sl-c1443h

I only need this computer for the webcam, nothing else and it's the only thing that doesn't work

>>60244090
hmm maybe i will install xubuntu thanks.

>>60244200
Oh, I don't know. But I'm pretty sure if it fits the slot, it will work anyway.

If there's a picture, of the ram you're buying, check if the pins, well, the empty pin location matches where the one you have.
>>
>>60244219
try right clicking the unknown device and trying to automatically find the driver. How did you download the driver? Is it an exe for installation or a set of .inf/sys etc files? If it's a collection of files you can probably manually select the driver from your files.

Why not reinstall windows 8 then? Saves more frustration desu senpai.

Not sure, I really never paid attention to names and all. My work at a computer repair shop was to match the ram when upgrading (lol) so I never bothered. But what I can tell you is whatever matched worked in my experience.

www.ebay.com/itm/300962926867

This one has the same pin position as the one you linked, so I guess as the title has T420 in it, it will fit your laptop.

I mean, if it does not work, you can return it, right?

>>60244364

I'm considering taking apart my 5 year old laptop to clean the fans and shit

would applying so good thermal paste offer any improvement over whatever the fuck the manufacturer put in from the factory?
>>
>>60243465
Well, you can make a server and have a program run on that server to use that computer's resources, but you send the files to that server via a website interface to process them?
>>
>>60244518
You don't have to open up your laptop to clean the fan. Just get one of these canned airs and blow it in the fan while holding your laptop upside down. Make sure the laptop is turned off so you don't break the fan while in the process.

Applying new thermal paste won't do anything I think. Unless after clearing dust from the fan is still generating heat specifically where your CPU is, then maybe. But read what the manufacturer recommends, though any thermal paste may work I think.

>You don't have to open up your laptop to clean the fan. Just get one of these canned airs and blow it in the fan while holding your laptop upside down. Make sure the laptop is turned off so you don't break the fan while in the process.
I already partially did that, but the fan is partially blocked by the housing, so it can't fully blow the dust away

>though any thermal paste may work
I'll probably go with Arctic Silver 5, since that's what I use on my desktop
>>
>>60244518
Though, if you really wanna open it up to look inside for fun, go for it. Just make sure where every screw goes if you have never done it before. Take pictures before taking it apart so you don't forget I guess. And be gentle with a little bit of force sometimes. Don't pull on the keyboard for example.

You neglected to mention a use-case. What do you generally do on the computer? If you legitimately ONLY play vidya then the 7700k is fine. If you do literally anything productive, even just installing gentoo, the ryzen is a better choice because you're only making a minimal sacrifice in average FPS. I would personally buy the 1700 and save the money you would have spent on the 7700k's cooling.

HDD and SSD have something called smart info. It's a read out of the drive's health. SSDs have more space on them than you can use and as the usable sectors fail it enables the unusable ones. This is called provisioning. SMART info will let you see how much is left. For an HDD it will just tell you the general health of the drive.
I don't back up at all because everything could easily be redownloaded. Your back up procedure should be decided by how important the data is. You could buy an extra HDD and put anything that's extremely important on it every week.
RAID is redunant array of inexpensive disks. So RAID0 for example is used for performance. You can take 2 SSDs or HDDs and it will write to and read from them in parallel effectively doubling the speed. There are other configurations for redundancy as well. The wikipedia article should explain it more detail.
You should take canned air to it maybe twice a year,
Linux is an open source operating system that is free as in free beer and free as in freedom. It is popular because it is highly configurable and we can see the source code which makes the privacy nuts feel better.
A NAS is worth it if you want to access stuff from anything connected to your network. So you could like put all your anime on it and watch it from your phone or laptop, etc.

A rubbed dome keyboard has a little rubber dome over a spring under each key.
A mechanical keyboard has a "switch" under each key. You can choose a tactile switch that has a little bump as you push it down or a linear switch that goes straight down. You can pick the "weight' it takes to enable the switch. You can swap out the keycaps. You can treat yourself to a basic mechanical keyboard for like $40 since the patents expired.
tl;dr they feel 1000x better to type on

How likely is it that a faulty PSU on a computer could be interfering with a TV signal?

I'll try to cut this short. This will sound dumb as fuck, but there's no other possible way. Basically, ever since I got a new PSU about a month or so ago, our home TV stops randomly every other minute and only resumes after a while or after someone switches channel and back. Both the TV and the computer's only connection is through the house's router, which is also connected to the TV signal reception box.
Why is it the PSU, you ask?
If the PC is off, the TV doesn't freeze. Ever.
This same PC has recently gotten a new motherboard+CPU. So it shouldn't be the network adapter failing and mixing up signals either.
Both the router and TV signal box have been swapped already for new counterparts. Service provider swears it should've been fixed, and that it can't possibly be fucked on their side.

What the fuck am I supposed to do? It hasn't given me trouble at all, never shut down or anything. For reference, the PSU is a Corsair 650CX 80+ Bronze, which I assumed is a decent quality PSU.
Is it really possible for a faulty PSU to be fucking up this much that it stops the TV signal randomly?

I have a cheap USB mouse that I like to use ($15 logitech wired mouse, works like a charm), and I didn't buy an optical drive to I'll have to install the OS through a USB. I heard you can buy adapters to convert 2.0 slots into 3.0 slots.

Also, I need an OS for my computer I'm building, but I'm sure as hell not spending over $100 for an OS. Is pirating OS pretty safe?

>I'll have to install the OS through a USB.
you can install an OS via USB2, it just might take a little longer
>I heard you can buy adapters to convert 2.0 slots into 3.0 slots.
you can't convert a USB2 port to a USB3 one, but you can add USB3 ports to a motherboard, with a USB3 PCI-E card

So I learned recently that you can shuck off the enclosure of a portable external hard drive and get a 4TB 2.5" drive for $110. The only caveat is that their cache size is only 16mb.

For my purposes, I want to mount them on some of my cases spare 2.5" spaces. Would the 16MB cache matter if I RAID'd them to my media drive, or am I better off using software back-ups?

i used to use ddwrt on my old router and had snmp on it to watch my transfer speeds using a cool program called perfgraph. i dont really feel like using ddwrt on my new router because snmp is really the only service it has that the stock firmware doesnt and i really dont care to configure the entire thing all over again just for snmp. is it possible to configure the built in windows snmp to do the same thing where it shows the i/o transfer rate of your network adapters? ive been messing with it for a little bit but i cant seem to get it to show any activity and all of the mac addresses on the interfaces are either gibberish or wrong.

I might have fucked up in explaining. The modem has an ethernet cable leading to the switch, and the switch has an ethernet cable leading to my pc. In the manual it tells me to go to 192.168.1.254, and that is also the modem ip, which seems to override the switches webUI.

then what that means is that the device is not at that ip address or its dead, or something different.

you can get some ip scanner and try to look for it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXgESsklNlQ

or find out by manual how to reset to router to default settings, then find out the default IP, set your PC to be on the same network (but different last digit) and try pinging again, if you ping, its likely you will be able to use web browser to configure more shit

So I am running Windows 10.My PC has been in this constant boot loop where it would enter a screen called "automatic system recovery" or something, then shut down, reboot and repeat.

I loaded parted magic getting ready to clear my disk and start over, when I noticed that there are several partitions created alongside my OS. These include a boot partition, a "microsoft reserved" partition (with a red flag next to it, interestingly enough) and a partition labeled "hidden, diag."

Is it possible that deleting one of these partitions would eliminate this boot looping problem? Im especially looking a the microsoft reserved partition because, again, it has a red flag next to it. But also maybe the boot partition is corrupted or something?

This question may be exceedingly stupid but I would really rather delete a partition and continue than delete everything and start all over.

If I install Windows XP on a machine that officially supports Windows 7 and 8, can I use Windows 7 drivers on XP? It's a 64-bit computer and 64-bit drivers.

No.

>>60255223
Usually no, the driver model isn't properly compatible. GPU drivers in particular are not compatible at all.

XP 64 bit is terrible in terms of driver support.

Why not? XP was supported all the way up to 2014ish.

Well, I have a MacBook that won't boot from flash drives because Apple is fucking retarded. I have to use the optical drive and I only have 700MB CDs to use. I don't feel like buying DVDs that are twice as expensive here as they were a decade ago just to run one wangblows program.

What are the exact filesize limits nowdays for 4chan? I thought it was still 3mb but I occasionally see larger image files. I seem to remember /wg/ has bigger limits for images or something. I can't seem to find the info in the rules of FAQ either.

/b/ = 2MB.
Common board = 3MB
/3/, /gif/ & /wsg/ = 4MB
/f/ = 10MB
/hr/ = 20MB

If you spill something in the middle of a fast food restaurant, should you go grab some napkins and wipe it up? Or would the employees rather you just get out of the way and let them handle it?

Happened to me once years ago and was very embarrassing and I just walked away and hid my shame but I don't know if that was the dick move or the right thing to do.
