Sold my decent (8320e rx470 8gb]mid range rig a few weeks ago. Wasn't planning on getting another pc soon but Picked up a Opteron 990 with i5 2500 8gb ram 1208th Samsung 840 for 100. Picked up a never used antec 620w 80bronze for 35.

I just came back with a new 1050ti ssd because the 7870le I had I couldn't find. Well came home... Found the 7870le.

I mostly do mid setting 1080P gaming wow, overwatch, various titles. Should I just stick with the 7870le and save the money for my next build or is the 1050ti noticeably better?

So far the 7870 supposedly has more "grunt" but less ram and none of the new tech

What is the K&R of C#?

So, i believe my chinese keyboard's driver is fucked, or maybe it's the port's driver that's fucked, or whatever

anyway, how do i completely reset and wipe any USB port data?

I've heard that there's some kind of registry fix to make the W10 search not complete shit, and right now it seems like it's not even looking at the index (since when I deleted and rebuilt it was still bringing up files that shouldn't have been re-indexed yet)
I can't seem to find it anywhere, does anyone know what it is?

keep the 1050ti the 4gb will serve you better

What is by far the best and most reliable disk cloning program? I'm planning to clone my current HDD (after i've migrated it via sysprep into a new build first) to a larger and newer one.

I just thought it was heat since my GPU is pretty old and couldn't handle such temperatures so my computer shut down itself as a security measure in order to not to let the GPU burn. And no, I haven't run prime95, I'm checking out right now.

What is the maximum temperature an AMD FX-8350 should reach?
A few days ago my pc shut down while playing Hollow Knight, so I ran speccy to see where was the problem, which I thought it was the temperature because it smelled like something burnt: the game ran fine at an average 62 degrees until I guess it reached 70, then the pc shut down again.
Graphic card reached 66 degrees and was very slow to cool down.
So I opened the pc and cleared all the dust I could see, but the problem is still there (I can play for a while until it shuts down, pc ran a game of Playerunknown's just fine).
Is this a heating problem? How can I fix this?

>>61161936
FUCKING HEEEEELP OVER HERE

>>61162317
I just downloaded the prime95, is there a specific test that should I choose? I went with Small FFTs, how long should it run?

>>61162280
def stress it with p95 see max temps, its an older cpu so might need to redo thermal paste if it is over heating, but going by your screen shots those temps wouldnt cause shut down

>>61162601
There should be an option a torture test option.Let it run for 2-3 hours

>>61162601
max temp option it should be able to run forever but if it doesnt shut down after a couple hrs its probily not heat

what would be the best method to turn this binary image of a graph into vector points to redraw it accurately
(the lines are not always 1 pixel wide, how to determine efficiently whether a line of pixels stands or lies?

What would be a fair price to pay for a used Kingston V200 120GB, or for a used 120/128GB in general, and what mileage (power on hours) would be acceptable? Should I avoid this particular drive? I can't seem to find much benchmarks to compare it to others.

I want to use XML::Twig in Perl to search for an xml_path that has a variable tag name. How can I achieve this? I tried using the string("$tag"), but I think string() is based on what the text of the node is, so that won't work for me. I tried using my $tag in the xpath, but perl bitches up a storm because it doesn't play nicely with the xpath formatting.

for example:

$tag = $element->tag;
my $node = $blah->get_xpath(qq{//$tag[@Seq = "$seq"]});

This doesn't work, because its trying to act like I'm using tag as an array.

$tag = $element->tag;
my $node = $blah->get_xpath(qq{//*[@Seq = "$seq"]});

This works just fine, but obviously isn't what I want since it gives me everything.

I need a variable tag name since I have many different node names that I can't know beforehand.

It should be said I don't know shit about Perl, and very little about XML::Twig.

Any ideas?

QUICK QUESTION: is intel E5800 compromised by intel ME?

I need to do a fresh install of win7 on my dad's laptop. If I go to micro$oft's site and put in the product key on the sticker on the laptop, it says something like "this key is from a product originally installed by the manufacturer" and it wont let download shit to make a recovery disk/bootable usb...

what do?

Which port to I use on my fulla 2 for regular-ass PC speakers? Variable pre-amp, or fixed dac?

So, I have a controller hooked up to my multi-monitor PC. I usually have vidya on one monitor, and whatever else I'd doing on the other
In some games, I can use the mouse independently of the controller- they don't steal focus from each other (Binding of Isaac does this for example).
However, nearly every other game doesn't work like that. Is there any sort of fix for this? Any piece of software that can force the mouse and controller input to be separate?

Found an old smartphone which can't get to boot, except in recovery mode but in the end it's seems useless. What do I need to know to install a different OS on it? Or what do I need to know to recover it and not just wait for someone else to make a fix for it?

So my main monitor is 144hz and my other one is 60hz. I've noticed that if I do something like watch a video on my 60hz monitor my 144hz one starts displaying in what I can only assume to be 60hz. It's not a huge deal and I've been fine with it for some time now, I'm just curious if there is any way to have this not happen. Also, it isn't always the same. Like sometimes a youtube video will cause this and sometimes it won't. Twitch is pretty much guaranteed to mess with the first monitor though.

>>61164976
Yes, No, Maybe.
Lua's random number generation depends on the C runtime library's implementation. If the processor architecture, OS, and libc version stay the same, then yes you should get the same sequence. If you change any one of those, all bets are off.

The .o files are object files, they are compiled machine code that hasn't yet been linked into a library or executable. .h files are header files and define what symbols are exported in the resultant binary and also are used by the compiler toolchain to check syntax, pragrammers and whatnot.

Yes.
Less NAND Chips.

Heh? Are you trying to power your PC off of PoE? PoE can't do high voltage. And the "Speed" of a PoE adapter is irrelevant to the NICs involved - the low voltage over the PoE protocol runs over two pairs in the cat5 or cat6 cable totally separate from the other data pairs.

>>61165953
Just remove the lines with "function CalculateArea(){" and "}" on them.

You define a function. Functions have to be called to execute. They don't just run on their own. Did this class you are taking not teach you this? Did they recommend a pragramming basics book?

>>61165987
Why didnt you get a cheaper card that was already at that voltage?

I did that and now it works, thank you. Had I wanted to keep that in what would I have needed to do?

So far we've had one lesson, and functions weren't really introduced at all. Our class is going to be using Eloquent Javascript by Marijn Haverbeke, but we haven't gotten to anything in it.

You could have just added a line with "CalculateArea();" after the line with the lone curly brace. That would have executed all of the (two) lines in the function.

Investing $40 in a EVGA 500B so your parts dont get damaged is not expensive in comparison with what you could lose.

>>61166337

>>61166371
No, is just that EVGA PSUs are cheap and work really good.
Pretty much any Superflower rebrand will.

Out all things you should never cheap out in your computer it should be the PSU.

No problem, also back to your original problem.

Buy a can of canned air for $4-5 and spray your case insides and heatsink fan with it.
You dont have to worry about breaking anything as long you dont dissasemble anything other than the case.

How much of a difference is replacing powerline with a wifi adapter card? I've been considering it for a while. Furthermore, any recommendations to one?

Can you reinstall Windows 7 without losing your settings and programs?

Do people really sell fake baby formula on ebay? That seems fucked up/illegal. Noticed the guy I bought a fake game controller from also selling lots of baby formula.

I have el capitan osx and want to upgrade to the new sierra. i just made a new apple id that i use for app store. when downloading to the new sierra will they ask for my old apple id or the new one i made?

>>61167969
If you are far enough away from your router that you are using powerline instead of an ethernet cable then wifi will probably be shit enough not to be an improvement.
When I used some powerline adapters I was getting abouth 3/4 of gigabit ethernet, if you are going much slower than that you might just have shit adpator. I used the onse recommended from the wirecutter.

That's not how hardware works, especially flash memory. Something can always start dying. Run a SMART test, and see if your manufacturer puts out a utility for managing the drive.

That could mean a whole lot of things. Your "settings and programs" aren't independent. If you want to fix the problem without getting rid of them, you'll need to focus in a bit more on what's causing the problem.

>>61168287
Powerline adapters rely heavily on the wiring layout.

Are the power sockets connected directly, with a short wire between them?
Or are they on separate groups where you first have to go down 4 floors to the switch panel, across some electronics, and then up 5 floors to the other socket?

So in some situations power adapters will be much better, in others you're better off with WiFi.
But in every single situation the absolute best thing to do is grow some balls and just lay down some Ethernet. - nobody is going to mind a small hole in the ceiling/floor.

How can I check if my ram is fucked? I have shit power source. Computer froze and keeps going into boot loop. Last time this happened it was the ram. I'm pretty sure its the same now.

My motherboard doesn't have PWM fan control, does that mean a PWM fan will just receive 12v and spin at the max RPM in it's range?

>>61168733
Yep. Although you can use a fan controller or a pot from radioshack to slow it.

>>61168729
memtest86

>>61168733
You can use fancontrol from lm-sensors to emulate PWM on the fan power line.

>>61168708
Note that that's just one example.

Every device will have a different useful life period, depending on the design and materials used.
It will also depend on the type of use.

>>61168767
I can boot with the USB? Even if boot loop?

>>61168733
>>61168775
But keep in mind this, from fancontrol's manpage:

>WARNING

>Please be careful when using the fan control features of your mainboard, in addition to the risk of burning your CPU, at higher temperatures there will be a higher wearout of your other hardware components, too. So if you plan to use these components in 50 years,**maybe**you shouldn't use fancontrol at all. Also please keep in mind most fans aren't designed to be powered by a PWMed voltage.

>In practice it doesn't seem to be a major issue, the fans will get slightly warmer, just be sure to have a temperature alarm and/or shutdown call, in case some fan fails, because you probably won't hear it anymore ;)

>>61168783
i like how my 1TB hdd that i bought in the same transaction failed before the ssd did

>>61168733
It will spin at max rpm, yes.

But the voltage is the same (5V IIRC), PWM means the power is switched on and off rapidly to slow the fan down.
This is better than changing the voltage because not all fans work at lower voltages and I think it's also more energy efficient. - something to look out for when buying a fan controller.

>>61168775
>>61168754
Alright, thanks.
I don't really care about PWM, I just want to know what RPM it will run at
>>61168827
>if you plan to use these components in 50 years

>>61168827
That warning is bullshit.

Modern CPU's don't burn out when they get too hot.
They throttle.

You can even safely remove your heatsink altogether.
It will throttle like a Macbook, but it will keep working.

Is it possible for a GPU to be responsible for poor colour display/output? I would think it would only be a shitty monitor that could be the cause of that, but I've used 2 reasonable quality monitors with this PC and for both the colour has been really quite shite. I've spent an eternity trying to calibrate it but to no avail, and it's starting to really piss me off.

>>61168984
>Is it possible for a GPU to be responsible for poor colour display/output?
Very possible if you have retarded non-default color settings in your graphics driver.

Because you're literally getting half the performance by using a single stick on a dual channel mobo and you probably paid more for a stick with that much capacity too.

Is your RAM actually 1333MHz or is it more? If it's supposed to be higher than 1333MHz then you need to enable the XMP profile in your BIOS.

>why is it said to be better than anything else?
The amount of configuration and performance possible with mpv is unlimited. I recommend you use the GNU/Linux version, but Windows binaries are also available. MPV does not have a "gui" like VLC or MPC, and is mostly command-line oriented. Prior command-line experience will be immensely helpful.

I have Windows 10 which i believe is running Windows Defender, and i also have a long expired McCaffee still doing things.

I say questionable because, even though they are all benign file types, he doesn't use an anitmalware on his phone and all of the images came from 4chan

>>61171790
Got it from /g/ ylyl

I got drunk and some how bust my phone screen beyond use last night. Other than the screen everything else seems to be functioning properly, especially my alarm. Is there anyway to hook it up to my computer and turn it off, of am I going to have to keep silencing it witih the side buttons until the phone dies?

I have an LED bulb which turns off when my air conditioning comes on. A single bulb, none of the others in the house (same brand/model) are affected. It'll come back on after a while.

Why? Is it a bad bulb? Maybe it's on the same breaker as the ac and the power drop causes it to shutdown?

Whats a normal amount of CPU usage when just browsing the internet, my files etc? Usually i'm around 2-3% but lately Norton security and WMI Provider are making it spike to around 20ish, only for a few seconds though

>>61171986
2-3% is normal, no idea about fucking Norton.

Not that guy, but windows defender is the real thing since, err, W8 right? What if he uses W7?

Don't know if this is the right board or not, but I've seen it mentioned on here. What's the tool that's used to crack a copy of windows 7? I've got a laptop with a legit version of 10, but want to downgrade because, well, it's 10.

I am currently reading Modern Operating Systems by Andrew Tannenbaum (creator of MINIX) and I think it's what you're looking for

I set up qemu+kvm/libvirt to forward virbr0 through tun0, but I lost my iptables rules that were automatically set up (by libvirt, I assume). How do I re-set/restore the rules?
I remember it was something like
-A FORWARD -i virbr0 -o tun0 -j ACCEPT
but also in the INPUT table as well.

how long has twitch considered mp3 deprecated? is it because they are shilling AAC now because mp3 patents expired, or is there a technical reason?

no, most computers can boot from the cd drive, usb port, and harddrive, but not an sd port. you can boot from a rooted android phone's sd card using a usb if you have a rooted phone though.

Sup guys, I need to put an update on my sd card for my phone, do I put on the rar file or do I unpack it on the sd card. I tried unpacking but that did not work, which seems weird to me.

wacom is a name brand and pretty good, i have a few of their tablets. size doesnt really matter when it comes to digital art, since you only end up using a small area on large tablets anyways. plus when you're working with photoshop/krita/whatever you are going to be panning all over the screen while zoomed anyways, its nothing like traditional drawing. and be careful when buying a used tablet, the pens wear out and need to be replaced often, and it might cost you another few bucks on top of your purchase. also people try and get rid of tablets with little dead zones on them from overuse that you wont notice right away.

I keep getting these DNS related errors. It goes away for a few minutes sometimes when I restart the router, but then it goes fucky again.
This happened yesterday and I restarted the router and it was fine again. Today I have had no such luck. I've fucked around with changing the DNS server, but that didn't help.

Any suggestions?

Why are e-readers so shitty? Why do you have to pay a ton of money just to get 300ppi, which should be the bare minimum for printed works? Why can't they load pdfs for shit?

Forgot the pic.

I'm writing an article in my native language (Polish) about secure communication and I'm looking for materials for reference. Some time ago I saw a story about how a criminal was using a phone with given IMEI number. Cops tracked the IMEI of the device to Apple, then Apple pointed the Apple Store where it was bought. The criminal was recorded by cameras and they used it to find him.

I googled the fuck out of it without result.
Do you know any stories about Law Enforcement tracking IMEI down to the store where the device was bought?

I recently upgraded my CPU cooler and after reassembling the system Intel Rapid storage technology is telling me that my HDD is 'at risk'.

I didn't throw the system around or knock anything, it was literally just turned sideways, motherboard taken out, and everything plugged back in after the new cooler was installed.

>>61176271
I should probably make this a question

So what the fuck is going on?
Is it just because the HDD has been replugged (even though the system was off when I did it), or should I start franticly backing up data?

That would depend on the type of router it is, but there should be an option for it somewhere in the settings.

Trying to get Kali Linux at least running in a Live USB mode on my Toshiba laptop, but running into some serious difficulty.

First let me ask a question that would help me pursue what I think might be a better alternative.

1. ) I already have Kali running in VirtualBox on that laptop in NAT Network mode. Will this work for using Armitage / nmap / other pentesting tools?

2.) If anyone has suggestions, I originally tried to set it up with a Bridged Adaptor (thats how the same VirtualBox machine running off the same Kali ISO worked/is working on my desktop), but the connection is stuck on "Wired Connecting" and I have no internet in the VM. I already went to Network Connections and bridged the host-only ethernet w/ my real network, so I'm not sure why it's not working.

3.) Going back to the Kali Linux USB, anyone familiar with Linux bootable USBs and/or Toshiba have any idea why I either get "Check cable connection! PXE-M0F Exiting Intel PXE ROM." error when trying to boot?

Boot Mode was set to CSM (tried it with just UEFI, boots right into Windows, even when booting from Rufus-burned USB), USB is showing up in the Boot Order, and I used MobaLiveCD to verify that every USB I tried was bootable.

At this point, I've tried using UNetBootin, Rufus, LiLi Live USB Creator, Universal USB Installer, and Win32DiskImager to burn the same Kali Linux ISO. Every attempt, I verified the USB was bootable, but it never got me any further.

Looking forward to getting some feedback, sorry for the long post. Thanks for reading!

>>61177135
1. Should work.
2. Just use NAT, unless you have to acces stuff on the host from the guest or vise versa. Saves you a lot of headaches.
