I can't choose a monitor size. I know I want 1080p and somewhere between 20 and 24 inches but I can't select one.

>>60750865
You can go up to 25 and still be ok with 1080. The price difference is sufficiently small that I'd go with the 24. Also consider IPS unless you absolutely need really good response times.

I know i'm a huge sucker but I'm really hoping someone can help me. I feel like i'm going crazy

So I factory reset my Galaxy S4 after having it rooted, and now it gets stuck on "checking for updates" forever. So i'm trying to flash firmware through Odin, but I can't for the life of me get it to work. I either get stuck on SetupConnection or Get PIT for mapping.

I know i'm a huge idiot but can someone please help? i'll get any info you need, I'd just really like some reassurance that i'm not going crazy. please

>>60750964
I'm thinking two or three of these 21.5" ones right now right now. https://www.asus.com/us/Commercial-Monitors/C622AQ/ There's also a C624AQ which is 23.8". It's ~$40 more. My filters are IPS, <=5ms response time, fully adjustable, and DisplayPort. Does not leave me with a whole lot of wiggle room.

>>60750980
1. You didn't specify what provider it's for. Their models are generally very different

2. Because every phone/tablet has different ways of handling shit, general knowledge probably wont help you here. You should go to the relevant xda page, and lurk till you've got what you need. Post there if you have to.

3. Find out if you should avoid factory resets in the future. Depending on how you achieved root, you may need to avoid all future updates, or take special steps beforehand

>>60751015
I wouldn't bother with displayport at 1080p. There's really no advantage. Even if you got a card that lacked HDMI you could just buy a $3 adapter. Also the G2G response time listed on IPS monitors is more or less marketing bullshit. If you can find something with an overdrive mode though, that's helpful. Might have to go digging around in manuals to find out.

I need to get an external hdd for my pc. I only have usb 2 connectors though. Going to use it to store, mostly lossless music, visual novels, bluray rips, and roms/isos for emulation. So it needs to be at least 2tb.

Should I buy an internal hdd and buy a shell for it or buy a WD passport? Don't want to overspend here, budget is around $100 us. Also thinking about getting a usb 3 pci card, but idk if there is one that'll fit in my Lenovo ThinkCentre M90p.

sorry if this immediately seems dumb, because I'm pretty sure I know the answer but

the i5 7500 has integrated graphics, right?
like every resource I've seen says it does, and yet my build won't output a display at all.
I was testing out a new build before I got my GPU, and every thing seems fine, but no video.
Fans and lights are on, I've re-seated the RAM in every available port, tried different PSUs, the debug lights on my motherboard aren't lit.
I've more than triple checked every cable and they're all plugged in correctly.
I've also tried using HDMI and VGA on different monitors.

motherboard is MSI Z170A SLI Plus

is there something incredibly obvious that I'm just not doing or is one of my parts just fucked?

Is there any way to hide a drive from Windows when I'm not using it, besides the obvious unplugging it? I'd like to just use an internal drive for backups but I know that's not traditionally safe against anything but drive failure. I don't want to rummage around in my case every day though.

>>60751259
It's good enough. VMWare Player has better performance for Windows virtual machines, but if you've got power to spare, VirtualBox is the shit.

VirtualBox VM's on my R7 1700X feel like they're running at native performance with the guest additions installed.

>>60751160
I'd say that every well rated IPS from a good brand is going to be about the same, within a given price bracket and age range. Some form of "overdrive" is a nice option to have. You can go digging around in enthusiast sites if you want more specifics, but they mostly talk about monitors with features that cost 2-5 times as much. Also slickdeals.net is good for shaving some $$$ off and getting model specific feedback.

My galaxy S6 is stuck in a boot loop, I'm trying to reflash original firmware in ODIN but every time I plug my phone in I get "USB device not recognized" and nothing shows up in ODIN. I just took it to a repair shop and they replaced the charging port for me, and I still get this error. Is this a software thing or did the shop fuck me over and my port is still broken?
(btw I looked at the port inside and it looks brand new. maybe they fucked up the installation?)

If I wanted to add a second aux input for the backseat in my car, would a simple y splitter suffice? I already have an aux port in the front which I added so I figured I would add the splitter to the back of the radio and route both wires into it having everything nice and hidden. Completely unnecessary but I like it better than having a long cable floating around from front to back. There would never be 1 input at a time but I figure I'd ask just to be safe.

I am not sure if newer model still has this but I know the ethernet and usb are on the same bus, did they happen to separate that in the newer model or no?

I feel very retarded for asking this, but is there a way to properly copy and paste all selected files at once without any issues? On Windows or Linux, whenever I try to copy and paste files to another drive to back it up, I will get errors that says "could not copy file" with reasons ranging from the filename apparently being too long to the file apparently being missing. I will even get errors using the terminal. The main issue with these errors is that I want to make the backing up an overnight job, but the errors popping up freezes the backup process wherever the file error occurs until I respond to the prompt.

Are there any alternate methods I should consider for this? I don't know why this is giving me so many problems.

Alright lads so this right here is how i plan to transfer the OS on my current build (win 7 x64, amd phenom cpu + amd gpu) to my planned new build (ryzen 5, i plan to keep the gpu from the old build at first and then later upgrade it):

> Update the BIOS from the R5 board right at the beginning
> Install win7 on the new build, slap on language paket
> Install truecrypt and encrypt the hdd
> Do the sysprep thing to prepare for the transfer, then do it via the belkin cable
> After the transfer is done, run the github script to manually re-enable windows update on my ryzen machine again which now has the OS from the "old" build running on it with no problems whatsoever (maybe i'd have to retroactively install some drivers though, i should probably make a folder of those before i get the build)

Basically only the RAM would be from a different manufacturer than before i think. Even the mainboard and HDD manufacturers will be the same as before so there should not be any problems if the sysprep is done right, no?

Yes i know it's always better to just reinstall the OS altogether but i have some important licensed programs on the current build which i cannot reinstall so i would have to transfer them and that's why i'm asking

... How foolproof is all of this and how likely is the OS migration to suceed?

99% of the time people have problems moving windows to new hardware, is because the didn't sysprep
it's a critical step barely any home user knows about, since most home users don't install windows themselves at all

if your machine will work with a fresh install, it'll also work with a sysprep/generalized install, since the part that matters (specialization is set to occur) is the same for both

I can't seem to load a site with Firefox or Chrome but it works fine with IE. If I delete the cookies of the site then I can load the page one time only and anything after that doesn't load (eg: load the page, click on something on the site, thing I clicked on doesn't load nor does the original place I went to anymore).

I've tried searching for a solution but mostly all I can find is people having problems with the CSS or outdated browsers which isn't my problem at all. I've also flushed my DNS and tried using Google's but that didn't work either. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? I never had this problem a week or so ago.

Can I convert ALAC to FLAC (and back) with 0 quality loss? (If I were to then convert the flac back to alac, would it still be exactly the same, md5 perfect, as alac before conversion?). Also, ALAC does sound identical to flac, because they're both fully lossless, right?

>>60755889
I can only find an album I wanted to download in alac, I just wanted to make sure that there isn't any quality loss from changing it to flac. I don't really need alac>flac>alac again, but I don't want to lose any quality (compared to wav>flac or just flac in the first place)

>>60755906
the only possibly information change will be metadata, the actual audio will not change
after all, that is what makes them lossless formats

>>60755925
thanks
also, is there really any difference between different flac qualities? Or between flac and wav? I can never tell 320kbps mp3 from flac 90% of the time, but like flac anyway because it's better for archiving, and lossy to lossy encodes suck.

I'm using windows 10 and I'm not sure if I understand the purpose of the D:Recovery partition. Can't I just use
A) a recovery disc and copy my files from a backup external hard drive
B) a full system image
Is it just in case I don't have these two options? Can I just delete it then?

Why the fuck is GNOME 3 the default for Debian Stable? I really can't see what they were going for with that, does anyone even like GNOME 3?

>>60755962
>is there really any difference between different flac qualities?
flac doesn't have "qualities"
the 1-8 you can set is just a compression level, that is, how much effort it is to put into encoding
a higher number means slower encoding, but possibly smaller filesize
they're all lossless though, so just use 8 unless you know you need one of the others
>Or between flac and wav?
technically wav is a container format, not a codec, so it's not directly comparable, but assuming you're placing uncompressed PCM in the wav file (common thing to do), then the audio will still be lossless, only metadata will change

Hey I asked this question in another thread too but I forgot what was answered.
I will write it down this time.

My sister gave me her old computer because she got a new one, I want to use this computer because it's a lot better than mine but she isn't very careful when it comes to computers.

She has tons of virusses on it because of things she downloads and just not being careful on the internet in general.

What can I do to clean this pc completely, restore it to a state as if it were completely new fresh from the factory?

Would it be best to buy a new Motherboard / HDD (I will probably go with SSD then because it's faster) / RAM or anything else?

Sorry for my stupid question, I hope someone can help though, I don't really know that well what damage could be done to a computer this way.

Additional infromation;
She used a pirated version of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (Activated with some dodgey activator, I'm not sure if it was Daz but it surely wasn't from the mydigitallife official forums)

She pirated a lot, never used any virus scanners besides Microsoft Security Essentials (which was disabled for most of it's tasks)

She downloaded all kind of weird programs on the computer and ran them, never bothered to delete them properly

She deleted registery files without exactly knowing what effect it would have ''because a friend of her told her to do so'', surprisingly though, it still runs more or less.
(She complained about some bugs and blue screens happening though)

Any help would be appreciated, I plan on installing Windows 10 Home 64bit from USB-stick (purchased, legit version) on this but I don't want to run into any bugs or glitches or issues later on.

Please help

Does anyone know of good system overview tools for android?
My father just got an android phone and within a week, it is riddled with malware.
I don't know what exactly is wrong as it never happened to me and it never happened for me on other android devices I have seen.
I suspect he installed an application which serves ads and he clicked on one of these ads and now he gets more ads, but it could also be from one of the applications that came with the system, I don't know.

Is there good tools to get rid of this?
I can recommend him software through the play store I know is on fdroid as well to limit the exposure, but maybe there should be some anti advertisement tool as well.
Which tool is great for is if I don't ever want to hear or see the tool?
I fear I may have to factory reset his device next time I see him.

laptop or desktop?

SSD is the cheapest way to increase performance and it is a nobrainer to do if it is a laptop.
If it is a desktop, you have more options.
As for getting it into a decent state, nuke and pave is the best option.
Take an external media, store the files you want to store and make a fresh install of whatever OS you want.
If it is a laptop and you insist on using windows, go to digital river and find an ISO and then register it with the code on the back of the laptop.
Select the version the license works with obviously.

If it still doesn't perform as new, take it apart and clean it.
Apply new paste to the CPU and make sure the cooling works.

If it is really old, I would suggest that you try to replicate your workflow on gnu/linux.
There is a lot of people who are willing to help you do so and it will give you a lot more help as you are helping yourself defining what tasks you do and how you want to do them.

DNS is spread out on a lot of servers.
For my server, I wrote the address of a DNS server in the record held by the people I bought my domain from.

>>60756262
Has he installed anything other than via the playstore/fdroid? What version of android is he running? Unfortunately antiviruses are severely neutered under android. If uninstalling the problem apps doesn't resolve it, that indicates the malware got root access, and you pretty much have to go for a factory reset. I would make sure you have the latest update, and maybe consider a custom rom if it's an older phone that's stopped receiving updates.

>>60756211
just wipe the hard drive and install gentoo on it.
no need to buy anything new if you don't actually need it.
SSD can be a good thing if you want it to be a little bit faster.
RAM won't matter if you got 4 or more GB (8 start to be a standard)

as said, you might want to clean the computer and apply new thermal paste.

Thank both of you once again, I have one more final question
Would the motherboard (BIOS) or RAM (buffer memory) also possibly be at risk?
When I buy a SSD, is there a risk it will get infected by leftovers in the BIOS memory or RAM or anywhere else?

>>60756958
Ram, no. Bios, very unlikely. It'll probably start being a problem in a couple of years, but bios malware hasn't really made it big yet. A reformat of the drives should still do the trick.

In C: > NVIDIA > DisplayDriver is it alright to delete nvidia display drivers version 364.72 and 372.90? According to the program itself I have version 382.33 installed, so I'm guessing I don't need the older versions taking up space?

The only thing is, I only see folders for the older versions, and not the current version. What is up with that?

So I'm trying to boot an arch linux iso from a usb drive on an HP laptop. When I try to boot it, it says that the bootable device is not authenticated.

He only installed apps through the apps store and I doubt the apps have root access.

>>60757119
you can delete the entire C:\NVIDIA directory.
It's just the unpacked installer which doesn't clean up after itself.

>>60757262
It is possible to receive malware through the browser or a malicious text. The more out of date your OS is, the more likely. When I say root access, I mean any software that has broken out of its containment and is able to affect other parts of the system. Remove all the shady apps, and see if you're still having these problems.

But I don't know how to build it. I'm literally retarded so please explain it to me as such.

I downloaded the .dll, but I don't know what to do with it and I don't know what to do with the rest of this stuff. How the fuck do I compile this shit? Do I have to download every one of these things individually and then compile them all together via the command line?

I always got the impression that "autism" on 4chan meant someone who knows too much tech and not enough human

I was sitting at my friends house the other day, and I was hit with an epiphany. While I was sitting in hit rocking chair, I had both my legs bent up with my feet on the seat of the chair. My right knee was down again the arm and my left knee was straight up. I noticed that just by rocking my upward knee left to right in counter balance with the rocking (left moved with the return, right propelled with the forward), I could build up and sustain momentum.
I believe somewhere in here is an idea for perpetual motion using either either two magnetic rings suspended by rocking posts. Or a sort of sphere with a magnetic ring inside which again, is suspended by rocking posts. The rings themselves, if designed well, could create a powerful magnetic field, and, if the rockers are hooked to generators, the perpetual motion could theoretically generate infinitely supplied energy. Just not a large amount.

Does any of that make sense or seem plausible to someone who has more technological knowledge than me? Has this been designed before?

There are many different kinds of autism. It's more of a class of disorders charatcerized by a lack of certain neurotypical functions than any specific symptom or cause.

It's a reaction. Just look at its face. That's not autism, that's lack of basic analysis/over-thinking on your end.

>>60757547
>For example, I don't know what this bird means.
He thinks you're stupid. This is shown by the head being tilted forward resulting in the pupils being close to the eyelids, the upper eyelids being drawn to the bottom, the upper eyelids being straight, the lower eyelids being open, and the mouth being slightly open at the end and curved down.
Mostly the eyelids being straight I think though. It's an expression of being dumbfounded, seeing something extremely dumb.
By the way, I have "autism".

It's aus-ception. Which incidentally is also what happens when you visit little Australia.

Don't be dumb, don't buy a pi.

There are plenty of other ARM boards (Cubieboards, Banana PI etc etc) with
-faster processors
-more RAM
-integrated storage (usually with android preinstalled. Boot order starts with the SD card so you can install an OS on the card and leave the android alone should you need it later)
-SATA ports
-USB-independent gigabit ethernet (even if you cannot fully utilize the gigabit bandwidth if you can go to 150-200 Mbit/sec and above, it was already worth it)

Did that, but I didn't have a lot of time with his phone.
The OS is 6.something so it is not that old.
I did not root his phone to so he could get 7.
The phone was bought last weekend, so the amount of sites he had visited is limited.
He only installed a handful of applications, so I assume the attack vector is the advertisement or one of the preinstalled applications.
I only run free software on my own phone, so I don't get advertisement and the software on the play store is not the same as the software on fdroid.
I thought it would be easier to just let him keep the stock OS and use the play store, but android is a steaming mess these days.

If you bough it used it's possible the previous owner could have fucked it up. If it's some pre-installed bloatware you could try disabling it.

The most critical is the 75 x 127. It could go deeper (170 mm) because I will use no optical drive.

about the NAS: you should know the amount of storage space your company needs. If you plan to store large CAD projects, videos, every single version of files for the past 5 years you need a lot of space. If you just need something like a network folder for docs less space with redundancy (R1 as you said) should be enough

AD is for large companies where they need all kinds of weird and complex access control and there are dozens of roles, user groups, workgroups, departments etc.

My computer doesn't turn on. I hit the power button, a fan whirrs for 2 seconds, stops, and starts again in a continuous loop. Nothing on screen. After some googling, people were saying it's probably the power supply. Does that sound right? Should I just do the paperclip test and if it doesn't work, just get a new one?

Usually the way these packs work is that all the licenses start when you activate one of them.

Whats the best (or lightest) open source software for changing video/music formats (like extracting sound from mp4/avi to mp3) that works under Windows?

Mother asked lately for some music to listen on her car radio but it only accept mp3 files.

I got a simple python script from someone to move Hearthstone screenshots from the desktop, convert them to a high quality .jpg and store them in a certain folder.

I want to modify it to have it automatically make it store screenshots in the folder corresponding to the current season. Where april 2014 = season 1.

I'd also like to have it name the folder Season n [full month name] [ year].

After copying some stuff off the internet I get a weird error message and I obviously don't know what I'm doing.

Hey /g/,

My in-laws need a new PC so I've been looking for something as cheap as possible. All they do is check emails and go on YouTube so they just need the bare minimum.

I've noticed this Workstation is on sale for 230 shekels on Newegg. Would this be good for just browsing with the price in consideration?

Thanks.

>>60762771
Alright.
Just a quick rundown on how to:
VMWare: Save the VM folder in the drive and open the VM file from the computer you try to virtualize on, or set it up on a shared folder
Hyper-V: Shared folders? (Haven't really used hyper-v too much), or just get Windows Server and set up a Hyper-V RDP machine
Vbox: Should be the same as vmware
qemu: Just place the hard disk file and a text document which contains the command to run the machine with the right settings.

I've got a crazy question that I've spent ~7 hours trying to search/figure out.

How do you overlay a scrollbar onto an image?

I'm designing a desktop application (using Electron) that needs to display a full-sized image, but still allow the user to scroll it.
Pic related on the left is what the scrollbar looks like now. On the right is the scrollbar completely disabled. I want to display thinner, grayish mac-style scrollbars onto the image.
Right now, the track automatically creates an extra ~20 pixels outside of the DOM to allocate for the scrollbar. Because it's outside the DOM, I can do fuck-all to place it onto the image.

I've found a couple dozen stackoverflow questions somewhat related to this answer, but none of them are specifically about this problem.

FYI, Electron is the chromium engine stripped down heavily to create desktop apps using NodeJS and standard web tech (HTML, CSS, etc).

Is it normal for a laptop CPU to have a really high temperature?

My computer is pretty much this - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sMTxKZ
Looking at prices, it's not worth much, but I bought it for $650 (including shipping) over a year ago if it helps, and I've kept it in good condition other than a little dust in the back corner on the bottom, which is a simple spray/brush out.

Sure. If you look a little harder though, you can find a better Xeon for dirt cheap on ebay. Although, obviously the craigslist build won't support it.

Hi tech support, I'm having some troubles with the chans. Replies aren't showing up on posts, and when I hover over a reply, it highlights the reply as deleted, but I can click on it just fine. It worked fine two days ago, using Pale Moon (or Firefox, fuck off)

Some roudy looking nigs just moved in a few houses down. What are some good security camera setups that can spot them at night and and has hd quality in the day?

>>60764495
Should hopefully support the Xeon, but that's a matter of trying it. Also I mainly said X5650 as an example, as it's a cheap enough 6-core with still viable performance for ghetto media server (7 people in the house on it often)
If the Xeon turns out incompatible, I'd probably jump to i7 970
Thanks for the response, anon. Not sure how to help with your question, as I use vanilla Opera

>>60764583
If it's just for a media server, it should be fine. In fact, the i7 might be good enough. How much are you paying? If you look on ebay and sort by price, you can find some xeons for $2. Obviously they aren't powerful enough for what you need, but this is just an example.

Try harder. You are using words that don't mean things.

When I try to SSH into my team's remote dev host, I do
>ssh myname@ourhost1
and enter my own password when prompted. It authenticates me and signs me into my home directory (/home/myname/), but it signs me in as otherguy@ourhost1. Googling is getting me nowhere and our helpdesk doesn't know what's going on. Is there anything I can do to fix this myself this without changing the host's configuration, or do I just need to wait on someone else on that end of things to figure out what they've done wrong?

>>60764942
Try harder how? I don't know what other words to use. I said exactly what was wrong.

Okay, let me understand...

You have a networked computer with an external hard drive plugged into it.
You have another networked computer somewhere else, and want to access the files on the original external hard drive.

Is that right?

>>60765046
I can access all the files from both computers. The only thing I am unable to access from the other computer is the internet, that is what I'm looking to fix.

>>60765865
It is possible that plugging the drive into a blue port disables your internet. You should try the other ones. Also if your hard drive came with a cable that has an extra USB on one end (called a Y cable), try using that. If the drive came with a power cord to plug into the wall make sure and use that.

Alas, I have been somewhat suspicious that you are bait, and that 'aspect ratio' comment pushed me over the edge. So this is where we part ways. If you do have a real problem (other than boredom) I wish you the best of luck.

Is there a way to bypass this? I can download files just fine, in fact I'm watching a Youtube video right now, but I can't upload anything at all until its fixed.

>>60766351
By default Windows hides the things you can't be trusted with from you. A quick web search will tell you how to make those hidden files visible.

>>60766375
You can start the command line as an admin and just drag and drop the .exe in.

Alternatively you can "cd" unto the other drive (e.g cd /d E:\ will change directory to "E:\").


If want to start it by typing the name without changing directory you need to add it to the environmental variables.

I think you need special equipment to measure your speakers or headphones actual analog sound output, when they are actually neutral you can say that's when they're properly equalized.

Or simply when you like the sound but I suppose you're referring to having a neutral sound as it's meant to be.
