I have a problem with my pc running windows 10. I have two screens and sometimes the screens die and one goes completely white and the other completely blue until I restart the computer.

I thought the problem was my graphics card, but I checked the drivers 100 times and even had it stress tested on another machine yet there it works fine. Any ideas what the problem might be?

What's the best approach for getting rid of the new generation of web-page "popups"?

These occur when you begin reading a web page, and then sometime within the first 15 seconds, the page goes dark and is overlaid with some marketing crap that obscures the content underneath it.

Note that these popups are now often coded in CSS, meaning that turning off JavaScript isn't enough.

I'd like to normally have JavaScript and CSS mostly active by default, but I just want to turn off the specific popup features for all sites except a whitelist.

What's the best way to do this?

I'm running embedded python on Windows 10 work pc because I can't install anything.

How come some things are cheaper at Walmart than the exact same item was at Sam's Club? I mean they're owned by the same company, and the latter is supposed to be the whole membership-only wholesale gig, so what the hell?

Bring it up because I was in the market for a PS4 controller and noticed they were ten bucks more at Sam's Club (though Costco had the same price Walmart did) which seemed odd to me.

/g/ I'm at my mom's house trying to fix her internet and idk wtf she did. I can connect to the wifi on all devices but not I can't get on the internet. Did she limit the access somehow? She said she called Verizon about it and they mentioned limited access but she doesn't know the details as she's old and has bad memory. I've tried manually resetting everything to no avail. Still limited access (and thereby no internet) across the board.

managed to turn it on again later just to see the desktop and i had to turn it off again because of the smell
there was also some thin smoke in both cases
i've bought some solid psu since the previous was really lame and i blamed it on it
now i've played some vidya for a month and yesterday while playing i've noticed the smell again
shit got worse since it happens even when i watch youtube or run fl studio or whatever and the psu isnt even warm

Hello,

Posted here yesterday morning asking about Defragging. I had my computer defragging most of the day whilst I was using it and by the time it came to go to bed it said it was only around 5% complete.

I decided to stop the defragging, shut down the PC and carry on today. I've done the same thing today, it's been running since this morning and this is how far it has come, it's been on this file for about an hour now.

Is this normal? Should I just defrag as much as I can then resume the next day until it reaches 100% ?

Is there an active archive that lists tripcodes by posts?
I can't seem to find one.

>>60930388
What OS? In general, uninstall driver in order to return to default drivers, then install card, after that the new driver. Depending on the OS, uninstalling the old driver shouldn't be necessary.

For some reason when I open this specific pic in my imageviewer of choice (Quickpic) it doesn't finish rendering. It does in the stock ones on android, though. How do I fix this?

I've tried downloading again (filesizes matched), clearing cache, waiting for minutes but no results. I doubt a source will help but here it is:

>>60930835
Uninstalling old drivers isn't really necessary in most cases, however if you want to be as clean as possible you can look up for some driver removal tools (I forgot the exact name), boot up off those and launch them, they'll delete everything nvidia/amd related they find, after that just plug in your gpu and install newest drivers.

it's a progressive jpeg, meaning it's possible to display a degraded, but whole image without all the data
it could be;

the fact that the same file works properly in one viewer and not another, that rules out an incomplete file (though not strictly an otherwise bad file)
it's also less likely to be a memory issue, i'm not expecting it to be one with such a relatively low resolution image
it's probably a renderer bug, specifically in quickpic. not much you can do about that

as far as "just make it werk" goes, here's the image converted over to baseline (non-progressive). lossless conversion

Cheers. Your image loads properly in Quicpic for me, as seemingly every other pic I've opened with it besides this original not rendering properly. And here is another screenshot of the resaved pic not loading properly.

I tried restarting the tablet, clearing Quickpic data (which deletes settings), even saving from the stock browser, but the original was still failing to properly render. There was another imageviewer I'd used a few years ago called "AA image viewer"- it by default had three rendering options when you tapped the screen, which I never knew the differences for. I don't think Quickpic has an option for that, so yeah it just doesn't play well with this specific image, I suppose.

I don't think memory is a problem, since contantly I find opened apps will have their instance wiped if I even switch to another app, or use another app for a while. Plus even when only Quickpic was open it wasn't finishing rendering. Thanks for the help, and the copy of the image which works for me. Much love.

>>60931773
i think you've done a good job ruling out basically anything besides simply being a quickpic renderer bug, which you can only really avoid by satisfying it with a copy of the image transformed to something that doesn't trigger the bug, in this case the transformation was lossless, so the end result is essentially the same (the non-progressive version was actually even 1.01% smaller)

I'm trying to upgrade an unlicensed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit to Windows 10 (via the accessibility upgrade still on offer) and when I try and crack (via Windows Loader) it tells me something like "unsupported partion table".
I find out Windows Loader doesn't support GPT and that I have to reinstall Windows and make sure it has a MBR instead. Okay, whatever.
I made sure Secure Boot was disabled and that CSM was enabled, yet it still defaults the partion to GPT while installing, with no option to change during the installation process.

Is there something else I'm overlooking? Is there a different method I should try?

I can't connect to the internet without a router, if I plug in the cable directly to pc and go to any website ISP window pops up and asks to register new device. I changed my computer's mac address to the same as my router's but it still won't let me, what do?

In your settings you can choose whether to ask permission for all app downloads by using your Apple ID Pass, or turn it off and download apps without your permission.

First thing I would do, is crack open your case and take out and examine each part for wear, then smell each part to see if you can distinguish where the smell is coming from.
>it's 47 C (116 F)
You say that your computer runs at this temp running two programs! That's outrageous! My CPU runs at 17 C while in the case it's around 30 C and that's with over 30 different Chrome tabs open. I think I see your issue and your computer is not getting enough air. Open up your computer more, run the air conditioner in your room and invest in a CPU cooler to keep temp down.

>>60929310
Look for a leaking capacitor.

What kind of smell is it?

Synology, QNAP, or HP MIcroServer ?
If HP, which OS ?

Hypervisor or a Debian with QEMU/KVM for a webserver and a Windows VM

ULV was a mistake, Maximum battery life thanks to 2-4w CPUs, no performance at all.

First of all, it's undefined behaviour. Secondly, that won't work if you use a modern operating systems, unless you manage to fool the compiler.

Try making buf a

const char*

instead.

Yeah, those CPUs are for facebook machines and notebooks, not for games at all.
I love my X205TA and the 10 hours battery but i cant do much on it.

Also with a Thinkpad you can upgrade the CPU for $10 (C2D) or $20-30 (1st and 2nd gen i7).
Im using a T9600 in my T400 instead the stock P8600, i wanted to upgrade it to a X9100 but i had my doubts about the heatsink being good enough.

Kind of complicated, thanks for your time.

I recently bought a Fury X and it's completely fine except the pump noise is a bit louder than I'd like. I've already narrowed the noise to be the pump specifically, and I came across this video where some dude claims that by cutting a wire and adding a transistor that you can reduce the voltage to the pump and therefore the pump noise.

Is this bullshit? I know nothing about transistors or how this would be done.

Is it possible for HP to prevent their latest laptops from recognizing a Win7 install?

I've installed four different torrented Win7's, but each time I get to the reboot step, it claims there's no OS on the drive. I already had to install from PXE because WinPE can't see the USB 3.0 ports at all.

>>60934457
Will it work? Yes.
Is it a good idea? Not at all, its retarded.

>>60929779
It won't guarantee you a job, but it got me a job when I was in your position. If you have any experience or other IT qualifications, don't bother, but if you're starting from zero, it's a godsend. People shit on it because it's basic, but if you have one, it's roughly equivalent to 6-12 months of entry-level job experience, and it proves you are serious about knowing computers instead of just being one out of ten million Intel vs AMD shitposting Pajeets.

>>60934480
Yes.
Also just install the USB 3.0 drivers to the installer if you need them.

>>60930376
How do you define okay? Becoming VMWare-certified is comfy and useful and gives you lots of opportunities, but if you don't have anything else already, or if you want to do programming, it's useless.

The best route for a total starter would probably be CompTIA A+ => CCNA => RHCSA. If you can get those three, you should be set for pretty much anything.

>best chromium based ALTERNATIVE to chrome is chrome

>But why XP?
For the time being I'm stuxk on a broken ass old netbook so slow I'm surprised chrome works decently on it. Other browsers(like firefox) are slower and easily cause it to extremely slow down and crash.
Cant use anything other than XP because it is not mine so I can't install another OS, I tried running a linux ubuntu portable OS off USB but it is ultimately slower and more unstable than running XP.

I'm asking for an alternative to Chrome because since it doesnt support XP anymore, a lot of sites have issues loading or don't work as intended, as example I can't currently use Discord web(the discord app won't install at all on XP)

>>60934501
Thanks for the reply.
It was easier to strap NIC drivers into the Serva64 directories than to get involved with the USB drivers. In any case, if you were answering a flat yes to my first question, it wouldn't make a difference which install media I was using.

That's clearly a US power plug though.

actually looking at it again the yellow tipped cable is more likely another rj45

RJ45 is the name of the connector, not the cable. Standard twisted pair Ethernet is usually CAT-5.

More flexibility as to players and stuff, can use a proper media player rather than need to play from my web browser along with whatever customizations I like to my playback experience, can watch even while offline or without slowing down bandwidth for the rest of the house, also if they're capping from a 4K stream and then downsampling to 1080p (what I watch at) it could potentially look better than if I watch straight off the 1080p source depending on what bitrate everything comes through in.

Check startup programs, see if anything suspicious or just plain doesn't need to be there. Run antivirus scan, though it's possible whatever is slowing you down won't be detected. It's also possible your antivirus itself is acting up for whatever reason and causing the slowdown so try disabling it for a bit. Run chkdsk or possibly a surface scan on your hard drive, sometimes disk corruption causes things to slow down.

>plugged in phone before went to bed
>woke up and its dead, but still plugged in
>charge it up on different outlet and turn it on
>immediately after it starts up get tons of error messages of apps crashing, like google services, swiftkey, etc.
>almost every app I try to open crashes immediately

What the fuck happened? How can I fix this? Am I going to need to format everything and start over?

>>60936264
That's what I did. I have it without a password. Once it's off and I hit the power button in 10 seconds I can open chrome.

>>60936392

Is 40 - 60 % CPU usage over 3-5 hours harmful to my PC?

>>60936518
M2 M600?
I guess its fine since its not a NVMe drive.

>>60936531
Depends on temperature and power draw.
Usually no most computers are designed to run 24/7 under 90°C for years.

Am I a furry now?

Just wanted a decent laptop for school and dicking around. Wasn't looking for a gaymen laptop. I feel like I did good for $500

Are you convinced that you're an animal trapped in an all to human body?

Ok, I want to upgrade my ssd in my laptop, and since it has 2 drives installed, I'm thinking I should migrate the os
from the main C drive that is currently full at 60GB, to the D drive, which has more than enough space

My question is, can I migrate my OS to the secondary drive,
which still has files on it, and then migrate the OS back to the new SSD after I install it?

>>60936641
Use clonzilla
Put the system drive and ssd in and then clone it to the ssd

>>60936592
No but I want to fuck that bunny.

a couple of the nyaa replacement sites aren't loading for me anymore.

nyaa.pantsu.cat
and
sukebei.pantsu.cat

Both used to load fine. Now however in firefox I just get a blank page and the tab just says new tab, in chrome i get This site can’t be reached with ERR_SPDY_INADEQUATE_TRANSPORT_SECURITY. I even tried IE where I get Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.

Some googling led me to believe that maybe it's a dns problem but I've changed it and same results. It's only doing it on my desktop. the sites load fine on my laptop and phone via the same wifi connection.

>>60936680
Read the nrg
Some domains no longer work/shut down or foreward to the more popular site

>>60936678
Then you're into bestiality or are a xenophile, not a furry.

What's the best way to backup the ENTIRE internal storage of an Android phone and have it viewable in a file explorer?

>>60936787
Make a nandroid backup and extract it on your PC?

>>60936787
I usually use my custom recovery (twrp) to make a backup

>>60936801
I have that installed and I didn't even think of that, thanks
>>60936797
thank you too

What's the name of that one audio file converter again?

Cheers, I'll do that

The thing is, the ssd is an msata, and the laptop has only one of those ports. So im
gonna have to clone the os the the hdd first before taking out the original msata ssd and
replacing it..

no, it's an 8-bit panel that dithers to "10-bit" by alternating colors each frame

though that said, i use a common 1080p, 6-bit panel with 8-bit dithering, and it's really noticable during certain kinds of motion
i'd imagine it to be very difficult to notice 8>10bit dither on a 4k panel at all

>>60939575

no it's not, 4chan X works just fine here on palemoon

That is one hell of a sexy bunny

I think I have a trojan or something.
Basically I've noticed random keyboard presses and many different programs opening and stuff.
Like all of a sudden chrome searched up kpop. I don't even listen to kpop.
My disk usage is at 100%.
Malware bytes turns up nothing

Should I reinstall windows?
