im about to buy dell inspiron 5567 (http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/inspiron-15-5567-laptop/drivers/advanced) but the problems is i dont know if win 7 will work on that thing, i dont want 10, i ve alrady fond drivers for radeon, i also found this announcement but this model is not on that list http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/SLN300777/dell-support-for-windows-7-and-81-on-the-skylake-chipset?lang=EN, dunno about other drivers like card readers or audio. anyone tried this laptop with win7?

Should I upgrade to a GTX-970 for 180 bucks or there's something better for similar price?

I asked this in the last thread but it reached the bump limit before I got an answer. My windows 10 10 computer has been crashing to random colors. The computer boots up, runs for around 5 minutes, and then crashes to a randomly colored screen and I can't do anything. Does anyone have any idea what this could be and how I could fix it?

If a video was encoded 1 year ago, then uploaded to youtube today, would someone be able to download the video, and tell that the video was originally encoded 1 year ago, or is all that shit overwritten when youtube re-encodes the video?

if you play games on your pc at all then definitely go for it. just be sure it will fit in your case if you have an older build.

>>60283711
It's always going to affect it, even if just a little, but it depends on the quality of the provider and the location you plan to use

My TV can't display a 1080p connection from my PC properly, probably because it's not native 1080p.
Anyways, I want to mirror my monitor to the TV so that I can play my emulators in bed.
What can I do?

>>60283708
>if youtube hasn't overwritten anything, the downloader will

You can download the raw video file youtube uses, if you don't pick the dash format.

>>60283757
Can't you lower the resolution and connect the pc directly to the tv? Otherwise I don't know how you could do that, unless your monitor supports output like notebooks

I had what I thought was a power outage while running a fairly intensive game a while ago, so I stopped playing it. The next day, the same thing happened, and then again, so I thought it was just the storm outside causing it.

However, after the storm ended, I tried to turn my PC back on and it didn't work. It took a good 10 attempts for it to power on after being left off for ~3 hours. Since then, I've realized that the point when a game allocates assets is when my computer will crash and reboot, so I haven't launched any 3D games for a while now. I was fine to leave it like this, but just now I was relaunching a program, one of my components whirred a bit, and I got the same crash and reboot. Nothing very intensive was going on at all, just a Steam update.

What's going on here? This can't be my GPU, can it? I'm figuring it's the PSU, as it's a few years old, but is there any way for me to tell? I'm already planning on switching it out, and I've stress tested my CPU without any problems at all.

>>60283810
Yea I could totally do that, issue is that it would be a 3rd display. Opening applications would be a pain in the ass, as they would open on my first monitor.
I wish there was a way to mirror my 1080 display to the 768p TV.

>>60283850
best case scenario is when a storm fucks with the electrics is the PSU dies
worst case scenario is it fried the motherboard, CPU, GPU, and PSU

Luckily for me when both of those happened, I was already starting to build a new computer for myself or a friend so I just swapped parts around until I found the dud

What is keeping Yahoo and AOL afloat?

Also, who is using their search?

I could go to Google and type in "imdb gang gas" and find an IMDB page for the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode for 'The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis'. Bing, AOL, Yahoo, and MSN can't do it.

I mean just random stuff like that, Google is perfect. I could practically Google one handed without using any vowels and 12 other letters and i'd find just about anything I need. Google predicts so well.

Is there a way to view protected tweets without approval?

>>60283929
Well, I don't honestly know if it was the storm fucking with the wires or anything. Generally, I just lose power here when it rains a lot, not necessarily anything to do with lightning. I've lost power occasionally, but not frequently.

My CPU is definitely fine. My GPU, PSU, and motherboard are the questionable points, but I don't know what else it could be or if the initial reset even triggered this. While it seems like the PSU is the issue, I don't understand why a PSU would randomly reset my computer during a simple Steam update, even though Steam updates are slightly resource intensive.

>>60283979
could be it got fucked but you will only know it's fucked under load and steam updates are just enough load for it to die

I hope you have a surge protector

Have you tried to use 'Duplicate this display' in windows settings (assuming you're using it), or does that duplicate all of them and you can't select specific ones to duplicate?

>>60284042
Well since my first display is 1080p and the TV is 768p mirroring wouldn't work well. Everything would be messed up.

>>60283937
Their search engine isn't the only thing they have. Also I searched for "imdb gang gas" and it was 2nd result on Bing (MSN uses Bing too), 1st on Yahoo, AOL didn't find it. Google might be the best, but it's not like the others are decades behind or anything.

>>60284966
EPUB is the best. MOBI is for the Amazon Kindle. PDF is shit. Use EPUB3 Reader from F-Droid or the Google Play Books app. The Play Books app uploads your book to the cloud (and can also access it offline). Personally, I use EPUB3 because Google takes some time to upload.

>>60284966
MOBI if you want to read it on a Kindle, EPUB for most other devices. PDF you can use if you want to view it on your PC, though it's a pretty terrible choice for just about anything else due to the way PDFs handle stuff like word wrapping and header/footers, all that stuff can get broken pretty badly if you try to scale it or convert it into a different format.

Your Windows key is stored in your motherboard, so just reinstall. If that doesn't work, just install Win 10 LTSB from a torrent site (Thepiratebay or topkickass).

How do I stream my large movie files into my TV.

>>60285382
Why though? Pirate license works just as well as your real one.

Or just reinstall 10, hit skip when it asks for key.

>>60285441
LTSB only works with a key for Enterprise, they'd need home/pro, which you can download directly from microsoft.

>>60284487
Doesn't make a huge difference either way. Going 32 bit you effectively lose a bit of CPU performance for 64 bit software, but gain a bit more free RAM and storage.

>>60284573

If the TV has any native streaming support, which model is it?

If not, grab a chromecast or cheap android stick

Thank you.
Also, what about this: https://thepiratebay.org/torrent/15880829/Windows_10_X64_Enterprise_LTSB_Build_14393_en-US_Sep_2016__Gen2_

I installed that on my Chuwi Hi10 and it works just fine.

>>60285562
That's Enterprise, including a pirated key automatically in the installer. If you want to use a legit home/pro key, you need to use a home/pro install disk, Enterprise will not accept it.

Nice, thanks gents.

>>60284205
That's old enough that the power supply, motherboard or RAM might be failing. Run Memtest to see if there's something wrong with the RAM, but you can only really diagnose the other 2 by replacing them and seeing if the problem goes away.
>>60284381
You will need an extra SATA data cable and somewhere to mount the SSD. Double sided tape usually works fine if there are no 2.5" bays. Disconnect your other hard drive before installing an OS on the SSD so the bootloader ends up on the right drive

This shit is fucking cancer. It's stiffer than a wedding prick. Is there such a thing as flexible coaxial cable that doesn't fuck up my signal quality or internet bandwidth or anything?

Basic stuff, super easy. Get any cheap iron and solder and watch a basic intro YouTube video. Fancier stuff, tiny stuff, and sensitive stuff, expect it to take a bit of practice(spend a solid evening practicing), non-garbage solder(2-3x the cost of the cheaper stuff you bought in example A, and a nicer iron($50-$100+).

If only the same can be said for Facebook.

Anyways, I forgot to specify that my 2TB drive is for storage, not carrying Windows 7. Research on the matter has me confused on whether to make it MBR or GPT.

I've got this weird issue with Steam in Win7.

Whenever I start Steam, it switched the Steam Client Service's "Startup Type" to "Manual", when it should be set to "Automatic" (because Steam has issues downloading if this service isn't running). I don't want to have to enable the service manually every time I launch Steam. I can't even imagine why the Service keeps getting set to Manual startup.

Any idea how I can diagnose what might be causing that, or how to prevent it from switching again?

>>60283689

Yes. Here' the tl;dr. version.
You need:

Windows 7 .iso (not an N version, those won't work with Daz Loader)
Daz Loader
Either a DVD or USB drive to copy Windows 7 .iso to so you can boot into the installer
Drivers for networking (i.e. wi-fi card or ethernet)

Then do this.

Install Windows 7 then activate with Daz Loader.
Download Windows 10 accessibility upgrade from M$ official site.
Upgrade from Win7 to 10.

Now you have a legit copy of Windows 10 upgraded from a pirated copy of 7.

I used Win7 Ultimate and it upgraded me to Win10 Pro.

Good luck

My router periodically stops working, needing a hard reset to connect to it.

Without worrying about the particular model, what are some things I can try to prevent that from happening?

X201 by a mile, Atom CPUs are really weak.

GPU wise Atom is better but this doesnt matter a lot.

You can upgrade X201 a lot, you cant at all with GPD.


Atom CPUs are really simple CPUs focused in being cheap and absurd low power use (2w to 10w).

Get the X201, its cheaper and put a SSD on it.

>>60287407
run gddrescue and replace the drive.

>>60287407
I've got the X201 but a friend was telling me about ordering a GPD Win today and said it was probably more powerful than my laptop but I was doubtful.

Could I run Dark Souls on the integrated graphics of the X201? I've never got around to installing Windows on it to try.

>>60287446
1?
Not at 30 FPS, that goes for both devices but both should run it.

>>60287466
How about Dark Souls II? I've heard it's actually more optimized than the first game.

>>60287505
X201 will have problem running it because the IGPU AND GPD win because the CPU.

GPD Win is not exactly powerful.

>>60287537
Again, both will run it in lowest settings at 800p.

I just started reading a book called

>Assembly Language Step by Step

on amazon it claims:
Assembly Language Step by Step, Third Edition, helps you:

>Review the fundamental concepts behind computing and programming, including the hexadecimal and binary number bases
>Understand the evolution of the Intel CPUs and how modern x86 processors operate
>Grasp the process of programming itself, from editing source code through assembly, linking, and debugging
>Comprehend x86 32-bit protected-mode memory addressing
>Learn the x86 instruction set by dissecting numerous complete example programs

Is this book obsolete since it focuses on 32-bit? or is 64bit the exact same thing with more addresses?

I don't yet understand assembly well enough to even know whether this question is valid. Since this material is pretty dense (for me) I don't want to get too invested in this particular book if I should be using newer resources to educate myself.

Thank you for reading.

Why the fuck people fall for the Assembly meme, really there's no significant advantage over C on a PC, as for your question, i find it hard to think of assembler on 64bit applications, but more information wont harm you especially if you're just learning , i have used assembler to program 8-bits MCUs and those where already a pain in the ass with their 1k of ram i cant think of using on a AMD64 system.

Why i am wondering if its correct is because i use Root explorer to copy a file in a root folder once i reboot its gone and i have to do it again.

Hello
I would like to know if having a dual screen setup would harm performance in 3D applications, even if the 3D applications or games only use one of the 2 screens.

Also, if i have 2 screens but only use one for games, what configuration should i choose in pic related?

>>60288228
Generally doing lightweight shit like web browsing on a second monitor doesn't have any noticeable impact. Your card's pretty anemic though, so it's possible it could make a difference. It's a good thing your main screen is only 900p

>>60288242

Enable them. Rinse and repeat. Although I'm starting to think that your phone is just configured to reverse any changes made to system files. In that case you probably can't do anything except install a custom rom

Why do some software like peazip require download of a .deb file instead of being available through sudo apt-get?

>>60288460
Any recommendations? i tried flashing the rom for my carrier based in a guide but apparently Wifi will be disabled unless i copy a file to the /persist folder.

Which works till i reset it.

>>60288475
Lineage is good. Also you might check through the thread you found this on and see if anyone else is having the same problem as you. If you're the first, then post there.

>>60288500
Yes, which get fixed by copying the file there, and works but the only one that had exactly my same problem never posted how he fixed it.

Is it even worth upgrading my FX-8350 right now or should i wait for Intel and Ryzen to go cheaper ? i made a quick calculus in Calc of the value of the new ryzen processors, and combined with the cost of a basic AM4 motherboard, R5 1600 seems like the best choice.

>>60288518
yes

the 1600 and 1600x are great

The only other thing I can think of would be to try copying the file over from within recovery. But if the system auto-scans for changes that might not work either.

I'm getting no display when I boot my pc, happens if I use either gpu or intel integrated graphics.
As a side note, this pc in particular was not letting me use anything windows because it gave me bsods, I tried to fresh install 7, 8 or 10 to try and fix this but I got the same issue, however, several linux distros worked fine.
A week later I got the display shit when I pulled out the gpu and the bios battery overnight.

Is the motherboard kill? Or is there something else I'm missing?

I am playing an old game (Elona+) that only supports 1280x1024 resolution. This means the window is tiny on my 1200p monitor. I'd like to scale it bigger, is there some program that would let me do this? Borderless full screen just creates a black box around the window and doesn't actually scale it.

Even a magnifying glass overlay that updates at 30fps or something would be fine.

For some reason, I was signed out of all my nintendo stuff, my switch, my wii u and my 3DS.

any one know why by chance? It said my password was wrong and I fixed it back to a decent password. If nintendo did this, they would send me a notice when I signed into the Miiverse to check my messages there. The reason I know this is due to wanting to play splatoon and then I got fucked over here. So any one know the cause of this?

What is the benefit of 144hz? Don't even know what it really means.

And if I were to buy a pc monitor which one would be better? One with 4k or one with full hd 144hz? Monitors with both go up in cost too much for me.

Just got a new acer laptop, should I format it and clean install a new OS?

>>60290814
144hz means the screen refreshes 144 times per second instead of the usual 60, so everything will appear smoother, most noticeable while gaming, but also shows a difference in everyday usage(even such as moving the cursor through desktop)
If it's worth for you or not is for you to decide, best would be to see one in action. If you play fast-paced games, especially shooters, you will see an overall quality increase
Wouldn't buy either though (1080p@144 or 4k@60) as 1080p is a small resolution now and 4k is too big to use properly

If it's for job related critical stuff don't even bother with LibreOffice.
Microsoft intentionally broke compatibility with the open document format to fuck with Libreoffice. Even if it looks fine for you on Libre it might look like a bunch of garbage to your boss on MS Office, or vice versa.
Libreoffice is only good if you can deliver whatever you have to do in PDF format.

>>60291412
You can do this with Foobar2000
It's called Replaygain. It embeds a tag in the file that will tell whatever you're using to play it to lower or increase the volume by a certain amount before sending the analog signal out so the perceivable volume in all tracks is roughly the same. Works great if you have a playlist with a bunch of old and new songs since old songs tend to be quieter because loudness wars.

This is kind of a weird question, but I'm going to get a summer job in IT where I'll primarily be fixing computers, building computers and helping with software related problems that customers have.

Now the problem is I know jack shit about computers. I'm the kinda guy that somehow by blind luck manages to fix every computer related problem I've ever had by googling for the solution.

I kinda look a bit "nerdy" and lied a little in the interview so I got the job. I now have about 3 and a half months to get a good grasp on computer related stuff.

I checked the /g/ wiki and It's great, but I would love to hear from somebody who's worked in the IT support section before. What sort of things should I learn about and what's not worth the time?

Can anyone say anything good or bad about TP-Link Archer C1200 router ? It seems like the only reasonable choice I have for less than 100 euros that has dual band and gigabit, and it's only 51 euro, would it be a bad choice ?

look at the reviews on amazon

Every time after I torrent something, my internet shits itself and crashes every 5 minutes or so for a couple of days.

Is there a chance my internet is being throttled? Or some other weird shit?

I use google calanders to help manage my events but can anyone suggest a better calendar / day timer. I would like to be able to easily add bullet points to my events. Basically a easy way to write notes of what I want done during the time period.

>500 reviews
>ranging from 1 to 5 stars, averaging 4.4
Don't know if this means anything or no, there's no products on amazon that wouldn't have 1 star rating as well as 5 stars and there will always be people with some phenomenal problems with the product
Also I never use amazon as there's no local one, so I'm not sure if their reviews are seriously taken

i picked up xeon e3-2450Ls for use in a hobby server (this post isn't about my purchasing decisions, pls no bully :( ) and I was looking for a way to make a bit of money back off of them. I have fast enough internet to handle hosting, say, minecraft servers, but the lower clock speed doesn't seem like it'd be good for hosting. I know CPUs suck at mining, so what else can I do to make my shekels back?

>>60295012
you're meant to read what they say

start from the one-star ones

>>60294881
thanks

Here's the specs on the CPUs if you need em

>>60295037
As I've said there will always be people with problems, what do I make out of 300 5 star reviews saying that everything works and 50 1 star reviews that say it's constantly dropping connection and just outright dies in a week after purchase
But I've read exactly the same reviews on other routers I've searched before

>>60295061
I also tried finding reviews for it(as in standalone reviews by tech sites or so) but couldn't really find anything useful, as I understand the router is fairly new

>>60294982
does it do the same if you set your torrent client to a low max peer connection limit?
could just be your router can't handle hundreds of connections at once

Thanks senpai

I've got a H115i 240mm AIO being delivered today and I don't know whether I should mount it in the front drawing air in, or on the top pushing air out.

It seems like pushing air out would be dumb, because it would be pulling warm air from the case as opposed to pulling in cool air from outside.

It's for a 6700k, looking for a 4.5-4.6ghz overclock.

>>60295282
I would put it in the front of case pulling air in if youre a heavier overclocker.

If you barely or dont overclock, top of case pushing air out.

I have an old ntfs drive with 200 free space of 1tb
Can I shrink it, change the free space to ext and fill it, and shrink the ntfs part by 200, repeating until it's only ext?

>>60295636
technically yes, but it will take ages as you have to move forward your ext partition every time.

dumb a time consuming but possible.

>>60295636
yea, i've done that before, it's pretty slow though
if you have a reasonable amount of space elsewhere, you should use that for temporary space, cuts down on head movement
also, instead of moving the one ext volume over and over, just leave multiple 200G volumes, and once you've made the final one at the beginning of the disk, expand that, moving each 200G volume worth of data into it

im trying to set up an ecommerce shop for some guy
he wants a customer to be able to enter values for length/width/height, the software to calculate a price based on these values and have the calculated price shown to the customer immediately
my question is what tags do i have to search for to find an addon with a function like this? "dynamic forms" and "conditional" doesnt get me anything useful

isn't it literally telling you to use an array for it

>

Animal[]

i don't even have to know java to know this is an array of animals

>>60295840
Something like this https://woocommerce.com/products/measurement-price-calculator/ ?

could also do it by setting a unit price in whatever package you use, then add some small javascript to hide the per unit field and replace with l/w/d fields

Didn't really know where to put this, so I guess I'd put it here.

Building a new PC, pic related is my current PC. Hoping to sell it for at least 500.

I was told not to sell the individual parts and to instead sell it as a "Mid-range Gaymen PC".

Looking for advice on where to sell it (Newegg, Amazon, Craig's List, Ebay, etc), and how much I'd get for it.

Thanks.

Why couldn't some older computers boot straight off of CDs? Why did they need a boot floppy in order to do it?

How can I filter a general thread with a title such as "THING GENERAL" using an exact case specific match?

here is what I am using. Will it filter false positives on posts containing "GENERAL", or only the whole string?

/DEAD HORSE BEATING GENERAL/i;boards:vr;op:only

CD booting requires BIOS support for the El Torito standard, first published in 1995, became common by about 1998.

retarded networking question:

I have a desktop computer with no wireless card. If I create a connection bridge using an Ethernet cable with a nearby laptop to connect to the router, and then move a file from the desktop to the laptop, would it transfer it through the router or directly through the Ethernet cable?

OpenIndiana was updated yesterday. It's the successor to OpenSolaris.

>>60298085
Does it look like Solaris?

>>60298107
Not by default but CDE can be installed.

>>60298576
The new version is called hipster, should I be worried?
