>>60485600
What's your price range because 970 goes from $250-600 and a decent 1060 is like $250 right now on Newegg and it's just a bit better than a 970 outside of having more vram..

what are websites like pluralsight

Im building my first desktop pc next week after using pretty much just shitty laptops at my desk. I'm thinking about where to put the tower and I've kind of decided that I want it on the floor next to my desk, but I have a pretty thick carpet. Would it be a good idea to sit it on top of some cardboard or maybe a plank of wood or something just to keep it off the carpet directly? I'm not sure if static or something could be an issue.

I am having problems opening every kind of Google based websites (youtube, gmail, google play, drive) regardless of the browser.
Every other website works normally, though.

Tried the basic procedures to no success.
Any ideas on what could be the issue?

How do I fix this? The bottom portion of my desktop isn't really usable anymore after I launched a program.

I want to get into webdev. Where do I start? Spoonfeed me, please

>>60486852
Yes, you just need to use GPT instead of MBR. Do you want to install windows on the same drive? That gets tricky, you'll need to use the command line because the installer doesn't give you an option to use GPT.

>>60486370
Does it have air intakes at bottom? If it does (most cases have at least PSU there) then you'll need to raise it or otherwise your carpet will block air coming through. Otherwise it shoudnt cause any issues, your case should be touching the PSU which is grounded by your wall socket.

>>60486999
Frontend? Learn HTML + CSS first, then try adding simple functionality with javascript. Once you got that down it's time to pick a framework and start learning it.

On backend you first need to pick a language and learn the basics of it. After that it's mostly the same, pick a framework and do projects untill you've learned how it works.

>>60487047
well, i will install windows in a 240 GB SSD, and use a 3TB (or bigger) for storage.
how do i choose between GPT and MBR ? do i need to do it during windows install?

This is what I got with a google search:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725671(v=ws.11).aspx

And no, you don't need to do anything during installation. Just install windows normally and then use command line or disk management tool to format the HDD into GPT. Your SSD will stay as MBR, but since it has such a limited capacity it doesn't really matter.

>>60487114
You could start by going through the w3schools tutorial to get the gist of it. After that just try writing a web page from scratch and google how to code various things to it. HTML & CSS are very simple languages, it shoudn't take too long to get decent at them.

A while ago I read about the death of the Internet and how people were planing to run their own Internet that's range was about the size of a town/small city. It had and very cyberpunk sounding name. (I think.) I also seem to remember something about how "experts" wanted the current Internet to die so they could run a new safer kind of Internet that doesn't have all the vulnerabilities that this one does.

What is the name for these things or at least some words I can use in a google search that doesn't bring up how the NWO is going crash the internet. Thanks in advance.

Is it a stupid idea to upgrade to an i7 and gtx 1080 if your mobo is pleb tier? everything is compatible, I just want to avoid changing mobo

>>60487592
Well in most cases it wont make much of a difference as MB features aren't very important when it comes to performance. Other cases it will such as if your i7 is unlocked and you want to overclock.

Post your MB model? Also if it's for gaming don't get an i7 and stick with an i5.

>>60487735

I'm not that interested in overclocking right now but I was thinking of getting unlocked in case I decide to in the future.

I've been using a 4 year old mac laptop that has been serving me well, but my school now demands a windows laptop (I don't think they'll accept my bootcamp windows), so I'm looking for something cheap and pretty reliable.

Are newer thinkpads still regarded as tanks in their durability? Honestly just need something that won't fail mid-test.

On some websites, you can press a button or something and it remakes the page without redirecting to a new url, but changes the url to the new page.

How does this work? Just remove all the specific page elements, add the new page ones and change browser url?

>>60487942
New Thinkpads have shit build quality compared to the older models. X220 and T420 are still the best last time I checked.

>>60487885
From what I understand OCing on a non Z board (yours is H as is H97M) requires messing with the BIO's which if screwed up might mean a new MB. There is also the issue of it having an older socket (1150) with the newer Intel cpu using 1151 it means upgrading to an older generation. Which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on many factors.

It would also help if I knew why you were upgrading. The 1080 sounds like vidya which isn't bad but it's also worth remembering very few games benefit from having a i7 over a i5. Money saved there could go towards a better GPU. On the other hand video editing gets more from an i7.

Yeah sorry I should have said why. I'm looking to get a 1440p monitor and I currently have an i3 4950 and a Radeon R9 280X which usually get me below 60fps on even 1080p.

I don't do video editing so i5 would be fine. Thanks for letting me know. Money isn't really an issue. I just don't want all these powerful parts and then be limited by an old MB.

I just had a fairly specific problem on Linux, that i already solved myself. But i'm wondering how this happened.
Basically, yesterday i used VLC Media Player to listen to some audio recordings, and i increased the volume to 125% in VLC so i can understand things better.
Then today, i opened the standard media player, i think it's Totem, to listen to music. But the music sounded slightly distorted. It took me a while to figure it out, but it seems that the volume increase to 125% carried over from VLC to Totem. Meanwhile, it didn't carry over to the whole system though, because the volume for Youtube videos (in firefox) was still normal.

Why is this?

>>60489732
There should be an adhesive strip, you probably peeled off the entire thing instead of just the cover

>>60489736
not a linux user but maybe they use the same volume setting

the distortion is caused by how amplifying audio works

How to store private PGP keys when I need to regularly use it for decryption?

I see people saying how they split it in multiple parts, encrypt each part separately and print it on a QR code and store each printed QR code in a different physical location or whatever.

Obviously this is not practical when you need to use the key to decrypt emails on a regular basis.
So, how do I keep the private key relatively safe, yet handy for use?

So I just found out dual link DVI is capable of driving 1440p 144Hz. Windows 10/Nvidia let's me set the refresh rate to 144Hz, but Linux/Nvidia doesn't, it locks it to 60Hz. Is there a way to change it or do I need to manually overclock my monitor? I was just hoping I wouldn't have to deal with the autism of overclocking monitors in Linux, what with EDID files and such.

How do you get an engineering degree without getting introduced to Matlab these days?
If Matlab's out, do you have any experience with a programming language? If so, use it. If not, Python is straight forward to pick up and NumPy has a lot of powerful tools available.

To add to this, I double checked the set location then did a force recheck and resumed the torrent, which led to a stalled message, which led to it starting to download again. But I have the complete unaltered file, so how can I get it to recognize it without having to redownload?

>>60492599
every vpn i try is slow af and i always give up those are payed ones.

>>60492599

You're just giving another person your access data.Your best bet is a paid vpn as free are unreliable and could be sniping your info for goverment usage or for selling to the highest bidder

You need either a hardware switch or a software switch that you can configure which audio streams go to what device.Im pretty sure you can do i within windows audio but it may be too complex for it.Otherwise you need a peice of software that will differentiate the two

What's the best way to transfer files to a new computer without degrading them?

Thinking particularly of my music collection, don't want to lose quality and about half of it is in 320kps from before I wised up and got lossless.

Should I compress them to a rar file and put on an external or will that lead to more loss than just transferring them directly via an external?

Also, now that you need to merge the cover and the music together, use this:

Actually, don't use that last answer: it works fine and most video players will play it, but it makes youtube angry.

Use this:

ffmpeg -r 1 -loop 1 -i cover.jpg -i album.mp3 -acodec copy -r 1 -shortest -vf scale=1280:720 finalvideo.flv

Here's an example of what it looks like
https://youtu.be/ipa_vNWgUn4

(It crops the album art. If you don't want that to happen, resize it before using ffmpeg)

I've never made a contribution to an open source project, and I just fixed a bug in one of them. I got a copy of the repo via git.

I had to place a LOT of debug print statements in the code.

What is the best way to compare my files to the current source tree? Additionally, using git, how would one submit? I'm VERY new to this...

>>60493359
Okay thanks I'll try that. Yeah youtube seems to be having a little trouble publishing the video and when I tried opening the video in vlc it wouldn't display the album art throughout the video.

I tried it myself again and it worked, so I'd be surprised if there still was a problem.

Could you show the command you used?

>>60493464
I think I got the second command to work.
I'm uploading it right now. When I open the file in video players it does show the album art as cropped. I'm guessing I can fix that by changing the scale values.

>>60493464

I'm going to try and fix that scaling problem next. Thank you so much it means a lot.

>>60493522
>I'm guessing I can fix that by changing the scale values.
Pretty much. I added the scale option because I thought that the fact that the video was square was the thing making youtube crap itself.

It wasn't, so simply removing "-vf scale=1280:720" will work. It creates a square video, and youtube adds black bars to fit the screen.

should I still be manually defragging my drives in 2017 on Windows 10, or just let Windows handle it?

and would Defraggler still be the best option?

>>60484599
how can i recover my porn from a dead seagate drive?

>>60493686
It's only really an issue if you have a full hard drive. Full hard drives, defrags if never done before can result in speedups probably around 10%. On "empty" (nonfull) hdds tho you're looking at like 1% performance gains.

As for software, idk.

>>60493713
the drives I want to defrag manually are all over 50% used with fragmentation over 20%

Why can't I sign into steam but I can sign into my phone and browser. WTF?

>>60493691
In what way is it dead?

Different kinds of issues require different methods of saving.

>>60493729
Tbh defragging right now isn't going to do much good but it will in the future. Hard drives work by just writing data down as it comes. If they have new data and they cant find+read/overwrite the correct data segment on the fly and its stored in cache (it usually is) then it's just rewritten - and the old data is marked as empty space. This is how fragmentation occurs. Because you have probably 40% ish space, hard drive will be able to use it to make up for currently fragmented files. Defragging now *will* result in decreased latency and higher performance in low-latency software (video games), but I honestly doubt you'll notice. Defragging is honestly mostly a tool for admins that have to manage servers.

>>60493746
What happens when you try to sign into the steam app? Nothing? Failure? Need more info.

>>60493792
I'm able to sign into everything but the client on my mac. This just happened today. Phone will sign in and so will browser but when I goto the app it just tells me my password is wrong and I changed it 4 times at least.

>>60493792
One day windows froze, i restarted and now it doesn't show up. fdsk and gparted don't see it either.

>>60493819
Does the hard drive power on?

Does it make any unusual sounds? Specifically, I'd be listening for the sound of...clicking, almost. Like if you could blend the sound of a vinyl scratch, and a cricket chirping. I know that sounds weird, but it's just what it sounds like (to me). It's a noticeable clicking.

If no unusual sound and powers on, it's not necessarily the platter. First hope is the controller is dead. If it is this, that's a cheap repair for ahrd drive repair companies.

If it is the platter, it's likely not "dead-dead", but rather, a critical part of the platter used for data structuring is dead. IIRC professional data recovery companies have ways of wiring up the platter "in series" so to speak with their tools, and reading the data. That being said, that's the expensive option.

Unofortunately, I don't know enough about homebrew repair to be able to advise you on how to DIY these repairs. You might be able to find that else where on the internet if you can identify source of failure.

Update:
So I have my shitty PC next to me, I was able to install Steam on it and it popped up. So I think it has something to do with the client.

Can any one tell me where maybe the cache files are on a mac? I figured if I deleted them I could fix this. Or what the folder is called cause I was in the cache library a moment ago and I couldn't find steam.

Sure.

>>60493952
Sort of. ThePirateBay has the fortune of being run by a federated organization rather than a few peeps hiding from the government. As such, a long time ago one of the first things they did was to register a bunch of different domains as backups, kinda like how Linux software is usually kept on a billion different FTP folders, and you pick the localized region for the best speed.

Now, that's not to say that thepiratebay.se will be faster for swedes than .org will be, but rather, .se technically references the same database.

>>60494339
>what is SELinux,
Much more finely grained access control that the standard read, write, and execute bits can provide.
>should I be using it?

>Should I be worried that the NSA helped write it?
Maybe. They used to sneakily shore up security for the US, while breaking everyone else's shit. Now, it's more iffy. The code has been checked out by others.

This is probably a dead end search but I've been struggling for about 3 hours with no results from good being of any use.

I'm running Win7 and when I start it boots fine, but to a black screen with only the cursor. I can open Task Manager, and if I close the explorer.exe process and open another eventually it starts up, but it usually takes 3-4 attempts of doing this.

I run a System File Checker and I get a "iassdo.dll.mui" file is corrupt and cannot be fixed.

I try to launch System Repair from a disk, but I just get a blank screen when I select "Repair your Computer" with just the default win 7 background and my mouse.

Problem is when I try to do that, the same thing with system repair occurs, I get a blank screen with no prompts of any kind. I can't progress forward, and nothing loads.

I don't even know what caused this. I adjusted fan speeds in my bios and this happened on the restart.

>>60494603
First, try putting them back to whatever they were set to originally. Second, if re-installing isn't possible, your hardware is screwed. Put a Linux or Windows live CD in and check out the hardware.

>>60494632

I need to convert some videos of a guy talking to the camera into smaller size.

I installed OpenBSD on a flash drive and now I can't enter BIOS to change the boot order with the drive plugged in. How the fuck could this have happened?

So, I'm a beginner with C++, I have some background in C and Python (I'm not trying to graduate to C++, I've started over from the beginning)

I've learned a lot of the basic syntax, but I'm wondering if there are any free online sources for understanding principles, good practices, and thinking with C++, all I can find are syntax tutorials, people telling me to buy textbooks ( I want to, but can't right now), and talks on youtube talking about how important these things are, but nothing that is an actual rundown on these lessons.

Well, there would only be one client accessing them (me) but I was thinking of putting them in a RAID configuration to have parity and possibly a NAS as well to have a media streaming server. I was thinking of buying five 8TB drives. The Purples are $20 cheaper which makes a total difference of $100, not insignificant, but if doing it with them instead of Reds is a bad idea then I might reconsider.

This is correct. This is the easiest way and the only way using just html. I managed to found a way to get the arrow hidden using css. However, to get it the way you really want just using plain html would be a challenge. I have demonstrated a work around for you in this pen, please check it out.

But don't they have my IP no matter what? Unless I proxy the connection to the box, which...I guess? Do most people do that?

Are you on wifi/wlan? There could be other wireless devices nearby that are jamming the channel you're using.

If you had an OEM key then those are registered to your motherboard. You can reuse the same key as many times as you want as long as you use the same motherboard.

Just tried updating to the newest drivers from Intel rather than the ones on my mobo site and it somehow made it worse so my keyboard wasn't recognized even when plugged into a 2.0 port, had to go back to the old driver.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (Dazloaded) and I don't update it often. I am scared I'll get WannaCry virus. I mostly pirate VSTs, movies, TV shows and games.
What should I do? Should I update Windows? And which updates should I avoid? How can I know if my PC is well protected? I have Avira Free Antivirus.

Okay, thank you.

>>60497149
Upgrade to Windows 10 or switch to loonix.

>b-but muh spyware meme
Do you really give a shit about that? If you did, you woudn't be using windows 7 in the first place.

>>60497149
you should always update windows

do a quick google search for "windows 7 which updates to avoid" to get extensive lists. Also do a search for the update that fucks up daz loader or switch to removeWAT.

protip: most avoidable updates are in the optional category.

This might technically be a /biz/ question but they're typically very unhelpful.

Does anyone here have experience working as a social media manager?
I am beginning a new job soon running social media for local gov departments and am looking for a crash course.

I'm 21 and I have dropped out of college twice. If I go back it could be another 3 years until I get a degree in software development or the like. Is it too late for me? Will I be too old to be employed when I get my qualification? Can you even be a 'good' programmer if you learn at this age and not a child genius? Is there hope of any happiness in my life?

>>60496950
pls respond

I needed a BD writer and I found this LG BH16NS40:
http://www.lg.com/us/burners-drives/lg-BH16NS40-internal-blu-ray-dvd-drive#tech-specs

Is it really a BD writer? because anything I found within the same price range, was only BD reader and DVD writer, I wonder if I'm reading wrong.

>>60497186
How did you even get the job?

Most "programming" jobs are quickly approaching the level of glorified clerical work, so no, you don't have to be a genius or even particularly smart. As for whether you find happiness, that's up to you and how realistic your goals are.

Is it possible to configure PAM to only have a timeout after a failed login attempt if it was like the third in a row?

>>60497921
Depends on speed of USB drive and optic drive and if you're using USB 3.0 I'd say. Are you able to do a speed test?

>>60498031
USB 2.0
I can check, if it's really needed.
I want to test something and I prefer to do it in a live session, so I was wondering what would faster to load the Linux live session.
Booting from USB flash drive or Booting from USB optic drive?
I'm using a laptop with dead optic drive that's why the USB optic drive.

Is the Thinkpad T61 series really that bad? They are dirt cheap where I live.

>>60498066
it depends on what you do with them

my dad has a bunch of them and they run windows 7 and firefox just fine

>>60498059
Both will be quite slow. Take the USB drive, it's way easier than burning a CD.

>>60498095
Thanks.
Another question, Let's assume I've already burned an ISO of a certain distro to CD/DVD and have deleted the ISO and it's no longer available/takes to long to download.
How do I get it into a USB flash drive?
Just run

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/dev/USB & sync

I have a 750 Ti and am feeling the age
I live in Australia, so prices are shit
Would $350 for RX480 8GB (XFX GTR) be worth it?

>>60498089
I just want to put a SSD in them (a cheap Chinese make maybe) and run Libre office and Firefox on Linux Mint.

They go for 100 euro with 4GB RAM, maybe 40-50 is reasonable?

I am currently using an Acer Aspire 5051 which is not only 10+ years old but I can't upgrade its PATA drive.

And I just noticed
>Sort by upload date
>Most recent video was 7 hours ago
>Add 20+ minute long video filter

Isn't "sort by upload date" literally supposed to fucking sort them by UPLOAD DATE?

Is there a way to change the name of an app? I know you can edit its name in the list of apps but I mean the name itself (e.g. I want this to just be K9)

I'm a dumb so I doubt I can handle developer tools without an explicit handholding guide, am I out of my league or is this doable?

>>60497956
you'll definitely become a weeaboo faggot :)

>>60498875
I believe yes.
It was a work around to install different version of the same app.
Look into app cloner.

I'm looking at a Dell E7240 for my younger brother, who just needs one for highschool classwork. Is it a good idea? I'm just going to load debian or elementaryOS and he's going to use firefox for all kinds of nonsense. There's one on my local craiglist for $250.

Y/n? It's thin enough for his tastes.

One of my Windows 10 PCs has started entering sleep mode after very short periods of inactivity (~5 minutes). Power settings have it set to never enter sleep. Windows Event Manager says it is shutting down because of idle activity, but again power management is set not to do this. I have tried toggling the power mode presets and even creating a new power management profile.

Any idea how to resolve this?

i have a t420 with a 16:9 screen. are there any practical upgrades or should i buy one of the yoga models

Thanks anon! I've seen those before but didn't know what they were called. :::::::::))

>>60499064
in my opinion yes. seems gud enough!

>>60499184
Maybe it is not sleep mode but rather display off.

>>60500000
There's a pretty obvious difference.

The screen disconnect randomly. The sound sometimes go off too. I uninstall the gpu driver and the same. I downgrade the driver version and the same. I disconnect the gpu and use it directly from mobo and works. What are my options now? How could I check what is wrong with the gpu (amd r7 260x)

PD: In screen options are connected 2 monitors (which I only have one). The other one does not let me change any settings and enter their properties either. Pls I need help
