Remove the HDD from your computer and plug it into another one. Reformat it from there and reinstall Windows.

I installed Fedora to an Acer Aspire ES11, and it displays a "No Bootable Device" message on startup. Guides recommend turning off Boot Protection to install it, which I did, and say that you can't boot unless you restore the GPT Record, which doesn't work for me: I get the message "GPT Table Restore Fail <Write disk error>."

How do I restore the GPT, whatever that is? I've been searching for hours and everything seems very hardware specific.

Windows 7 keeps giving me these pop-up messages that say "Your hardware is not supported on this version of Windows." or something similar. Apparently I need W10 to use my processor properly.

Is this horseshit or would getting W10 actually make a difference? (Aside from the obvious OS change)

I have an i5-7500 @ 3.4GHz

If it is horseshit, how do I stop this thing popping up? It's infuriating.

>>60424609
Yeah, it's horseshit, but as far as I know there isn't a workaround yet.

probably worth it if you dont do anything where you need color accuracy, or if your monitor has really off colors to boot

but then again you could spend the money towards a new and better monitor

What's the best way to deband an anime video? Is avi/vapoursynth my only choice?
If yes, what's a good gui to use the with, since i'm not very familiar with non linear editing?

Most of my video library is MPEG2, is it worth transcoding to a more modern codec? I mean, I don't mind wasting space for better quality but if the difference is negligible I might as well free up some space.

Why are there no programs that can tell me my Ryzen CPU temperature? Do I just have to wait for them to be updated? BIOS still shows temps

>>60424851
if you're ok with some quality loss, the jump from mpeg2 to say, h265 is pretty big

Isn't there a way to use h265 losslessly, I heard you can do it with crf 0 or something, but i'm not sure

How do I go from full Green on grc.com to full Blue in Windows 10? I would like to know more about that stuff on Windows.

>>60424959
yes, you can do x265 lossless, but unless it's very high bitrate mpeg2 video, it might not even end up smaller than the original videos
if you want minimal loss, just use a very low (but not 0) crf, like 5
also don't transcode the audio (unless they're uncompressed, in which case compress those using flac, since that's just free savings)

I've tried formatting the HDD and creating a new GPT with Gparted and then re-installing Fedora once it was back in the laptop.

This also results in a No Bootable Device error, and it still isn't possible to Save or Restore the GPT Record, whatever that is. I still get a <Write disk error> there. I have no idea why this is happening.

What can I do with some old computer parts? Got a i3 2120 that's hardly been used, a mobo with a dead RAM slot, two 4gb ram sticks and an old case. No powersupply.

I remember hearing that some of Windows Updates were completely incapable of being installed after you installed them and that they could basically then force you to use updates for unwanted updates. I believe they were some of the "Security Rollups"? Is this true or not? Would tronscript's .bat telemetry removal work fine after completely updating, or would those, if they work as I said, be unaffected?

I forgot to mention I was on Windows 7. I seem to recall them bundling their updates so you can't choose a la carte, anymore, and I would hate to just batch install and not be able to batch remove Microsoft's jew updates.

>>60427899
points are not kept in a 2d array
they are stored in a vector

>>60427921

I am aware.
The matrix represents the rotation.
You multiply the matrix by the vector of original points and the result is a vector of transformed points.

For 7 there's one big combined update KB3125574 that includes everything released between SP1 and May 2016. If there's some update inbetween that you don't want you'll have to do all the others manually.

>>60427906
On Windows 7 now you will only get jew updates (security+optional) IF you use Windows update. This started around last October.

To get non jew updates you have to manually download security-only updates released once a month. These are not cumulative so you have to get each month's and then install it.

This is the index page:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/4009469/windows-7-sp1-windows-server-2008-r2-sp1-update-history


Remember, security only updates are the one you're looking for.

To do a rotation it is. Matrix multiplication is how you do a transformation operation to a coordinate, doesn't matter what kind of data structure you're using to store the coordinates, the result is the same.

Anyone good with the Tasker app around /sqt/?

I've bought into the automated house meme and got myself a philips hue light in the hallway. I can set timers in the philips app but I want it to turn on when I come home (connect to specific SSID) and turn off ~10 min after turning on.

I've setup Tasker with the hue plugin (AutoHue) so it turns on when wifi connects but I'm having trouble with the turn off timer. It seems I can't turn it on again after turning off because it's waiting on my 10min timer.

Here's how I got it in Tasker:
>Profile: Wifi connected (ssid),*, -> Hue on Wifi
>Tasks:
>1. Autohue IP 192.xxx Light: Huelamp On (works when testing the setting every time)
>2. Wait
>10min
>3. Autohue IP 192.xxx Light: Huelamp Off (works when testing the setting every time)

Is there a more reliable way to configure it? A bunch of times when I've gotten it hasn't triggered to turn On but I can't tell where it fails. I've checked the phone when I get close and Tasker does show up with an active profile whenever it connects to my wifi but the light stays off until I fiddle with it like turning wifi on and off.

>what is the linux equivalent of having a C:\ (OS + programs) and D:\ (other programs + random shit) partitions? and how would I reinstall the OS and keep the D:\~linux partition untouchable?
Linux has everything under a single tree, starting from /.
/bin and /sbin contain basic programs (stuff you can't boot without) while /usr/bin and /usr/sbin contain heavy stuff like web browsers or office software. User data lives in the /home/username folder.
You can partition this all up however you like.

I bought a new hard drive from hitachi since I was running out of space. I opened the packaging and noticed scuff marks along the metal components near the sticker. I plugged it in, new volume and tested it to make sure I wasn't getting a "new" used drive and it had 0 power on hours so I was thinking it was ok. But afterwards it started making a thumping noise and I just left that thought to it being new and wearing in. This morning I power on and it's making grinding noises but crystal disk info still says it's good. Am I wrong that I should return it? I already submitted a return request because of the condition it came in and the noise because I don't expect a new drive to be this fucky right off the bat.

Generally you would put all of /home under its own partition. That's a pretty common thing to do.

If you wanted to install another distro, you would just delete the other partitions and keep the old /home.

Best distro and method for Windows VM with GPU passthrough?

In light of WannaCry I'm fully moving over to linux from just the dual boot I've had for years.

Should you format a new ssd before using?

Is it worth getting a 6600k instead of a Ryzen 5 1600?
Considering I can get a mail-in rebate for 110€ on the i5

>>60430668
you will need to, its empty unformated space, you will need to partition it and create filesystem, though its done for ya automatically usually during install

>>60430678
that seems extremely high, like you buy that i5 for 100€ in total or even lower maybe
but be careful with the rebate, intel is not doing rebates, so its your local re-seller, and they can fuck you over when its mail-in-rebate.

as for performance, yeah, with that price it should be fine

>>60430759
Nevermind, forgot to mention it's the 6600k plus an Asus MB. The rebate comes from Asus.

Comparing total cost (CPU + mobo) I think the Intel sides wins but I'm still skeptical on the "future-proofing" AM4 can provide.

>>60430779
usually such deal comes on overpriced mobos already.

it also depends on what you will be using it for, and what do you have now.

If you can wait, I would wait for next intels offering in autumn

I have a Windows LiveCD installed into an external HDD. My current Windows installation has a fucked up boot and won't run by itself, but if I turn the PC on with the LiveCD, it'll boot. The problem is, I want to specifically go into the LiveCD's installation to try to fix it, but whenever I plug it on before power on, it goes straight to the desktop instead of going through the Windows setup.

What do? I don't think I can simply format the external disk because it's using files from there.

TL;DR, how do I force a LiveCD on an external HDD to boot to Windows install setup?

funny is how you can have a lot of money just by remembering phrase in your head.

I have a domain with BT, it hosts my companies website and also its email.

If I transfer the domain to 1&1, what will this do to the email?

We use Outlook for email, is there anything we will need to do once the domain swap-over happens?

>>60431874
>I have a domain with BT, it hosts my companies website and also its email.
you should get clear idea about domain and hosting
whats the difference and what are you trying to change

no one really cares about domain, its too cheap, hosting is where money are and what you are probably trying to change

I am no expert, but saw this being done, quite cleverly to me it seemed, though amaterish I guess

so, guy setup outlook to use pop3 and left mails on server
then setup different account with imap and just moved the old emails to the new folder structure
it worked surprisingly well

but I guess companies do it some other way, also office365 is the big thing now

Are there any decent sites for tech journalism/reviews

no, it just puts windows back into a state where it detects all your hardware, similar to when it's first installed
sysprep is used all the time in businesses, as it makes it easy to fully set up one machine, then clone it to multiples machines afterwards

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

When testing for the non-additive join property in the relational model, I am following this algorithm:

http://www.allsyllabus.com/aj/note/Information_Technology/Database%20Management%20Systems/Database%20Management%20Systems%207/Algorithm%2011.php#.WRueYGfNX7g

Step 4, if my functional dependency is

B -> E and my relations are {AB}, {BCD}, {ADE}

Do I set the cell at row ADE and under column E to a5 because B is present in AB / BCD or does B and E both have to be present in one of the other relations?

Any help appreciated. I'm struggling to wrap my brain around all these normalization algorithms they've thrown at me with very little content covering them.

>>60438894
Unless you already have a backup partition set you dont have a flash of your system files with which to restore from. Assuming you have a working disk drive or USB port make a backup to any random disk or USB stick (just about anything works, Ive wiped a ps2 game before and used it as a boot disk) when you have the backup made you can just run a factory restore and you will be on a fresh slate

>>60439350
Doesn't it entirely depend on which currency you're mining though? Obviously mining bitcoins isn't worth it, but lets say you mine some lesser known currencies then hope they raise in value?

>>60436026
Yes.

>>60439267
its not viable as a single user. you will spend far more money on electricity than you will make back from mining with only 1 machine. The profits from mining cryptocurrencies are entirely in the hands of a few groups which have clusters of super computers running 24/7

I should have known you were a lost cause since you mentioned /biz/. Just get a job, the pennies you can make with a miner on one computer will never be worth it. Setup a lab in your basement and run the miners there eventually.

>>60437858
And just had another BSOD. Roughly the same time. Can't find a single thing in the event log, the closest thing I'm finding is an informational log saying that the Multimedia Class Scheduler started.

>>60437974
Also noticed things slowing down to a halt, so I grabbed my camera, focused it on the screen, and the BSOD appeared and vanished within a second, so I don't know what good that does me.

So I built a computer from scratch with some old parts but a new cpu, videocard, SSD, and motherboard . However, I made the mistake of using a failing power supply which caused various parts to lose power during the installation of the bios/operating system a few times. This caused me to do several hard resets during the process of getting everything up and running. I have since replaced the power supply.

Just how much can this harm stuff on the hardware side of things? The components are not top of the line by any means but are an acceptable lower-mid tier (m5a99fx motherboard, GTX 760, FX-8350 cpu) and yet the computer seems to be running very slowly at times with the disk/cpu usage occasionally maxing out and the computer hanging from anywhere between 5-30 seconds. Its also very sluggish in opening new programs and has blue screened a handful of times in the past couple of months. I dont think its a memory issue and have very high doubts that its a motherboard or SSD issue as I dont see how I could have damaged them but I fear that I may have harmed the CPU in the process of doing cold resets during the installation of startup files.

Am I right to be worried? If so do you think a system recovery would help much? I dont really care about any of the files on the computer and just want to get the damn thing working right.

Can someone give me a quick rundown on NVMe, M.2, and SSDs? I wanna buy pic related because my old SanDisk SSD is out of space, but I have no idea if it really is a good purchase with so many options. My current HDD says 6 GB/s, but maybe that's not referring to read/write speed? At one point I remember some anon here saying that SSDs were a scam and that HDDs could be just as fast, but a. that was a few years ago and b. people like to talk out of their ass and be contrarian.
Can anyone give advice? Will post my current drives in a sec.

6Gb/s, not GB/s. Also that's theoretical max including line code. Realistically SATA drives are more like 550MB/s max.

Instead of SATA M.2 drives can also use the much faster PCIe interface with the NVMe protocol. 32Gb/s theoretical max, the fast ones can easily do 2GB/s actual transfers. In real world performance though generally not worth it, it's a pretty small difference for around double the price per GB.

>it's a pretty small difference for around double the price per GB
Compared to HDDs or SSDs, because I see SSDs selling for around the same price per GB as that M.2, some for more. Would you recommend I buy an SSD or HDD now?
Also pic related is my drives, C is SSD, and D is my backup of my other two drives (I liked the idea better of an internal backup drive though now having it sit there and take up space and SATA connectors is annoying).

>>60440077
firefox seems to crash more often but it uses less resources. Opera seems to be better on both fronts but has less support when it comes to addons and plugins. Honestly you can just use whatever you are cofortable with. I just dont like how chrome tries to force auto updates on you (you have to edit registry files just to stop them) and asks for WAY too many permissions than a web browser should.

In the end its just personal preference. Alot of /g/ as well as I dislike chrome because we are paranoid but in the end any modern brower will fill the average persons needs. If you are used to chrome and dont mind a bit of potential data mining by all means continue to use it.

>>60440057
Not the anon you were talking to: I want to switch to Firefox but last time I did it was laggy, like unusably laggy, to the point where it would literally crash every time I opened a page. It wasn't like this at first but slowly degraded to that point. Should I try it again? Maybe I had an old version that for some reason didn't update?

This has taken me a lot of time and I still don'w know what to do.

I have a Sony TV (W65D) and I just bought a used Samsung Soundbar HW-J250. My TV doesn't have an Optical Audio entrance, but the Soundbar does. I plugged the TV and the soundbar via AUX.

Thing is, when I'm watching TV only TWO of the speakers work, the left and right extremes. If I use Spotify on my TV, some of the instruments won't sound. No matter what, I only ever get sounds from TWO of all the speakers the bar has. This also happens if I play on my PS4.

What can I do to solve this? Do I have to buy a specific converter/cable? Does AUX only give me 2.0, always? The Bar doesn't have more connections; just AUX and Optical.

>>60440169
That M.2 is SATA, just in the smaller form factor. The faster M.2 are the PCIe ones.

Anything that needs to be fast should go on SSDs, anything that needs to be cheap bulk storage should go on HDDs.

>>60440204
>default is 22
Exactly, so just

ssh user@ip

is enough. I'm not going to go through all the damned flags, he has the man page for that.

Just downloaded WSUS Offline for this old laptop I bought. It's on Windows 8 vanilla, but there's only an option to get updates for 8.1.
