how can I tell if amdgpu is working? I installed the package but Idk if I did it right

How can I track my reading progress when using mupdf? There seems to be no built-in bookmarking and I can't do anything external either since there doesn't seem to be an option to open a file to a particular page. I don't want to have to look for the page I was on every time I reopen the file. Thoughts?

Am I right that its the ssd or am I missing something?
also can I just clone this drive when I replace it?

Does the lifespan of the HDD has anything to do with the size of the disk? for example 1tb vs 2tb or more

I want to buy an external drive to put all my fucking music on it.

asking again, hoping for some help:
so i found an image ripping program (in python...) but bumped into a problem. to be exact, this part:

 # Extract needed info from JSON
        image_url = json_dict["image"]
        image_file_ext = json_dict["original_format"]
        image_height = json_dict["height"]
        image_width = json_dict["width"]
        # Build image output filenames
        if settings.output_long_filenames:
            # Grab the filename from the url by throwing away everything before the last forwardslash
            image_filename_crop_regex = """.+\/(.+)"""
            image_filename_search = re.search(image_filename_crop_regex, image_url, re.IGNORECASE|re.DOTALL)
            image_filename = image_filename_search.group(1)
            image_output_filename = image_filename+"."+image_file_ext
        else:
            image_output_filename = submission_id+"."+image_file_ext
        image_output_path = os.path.join(output_folder,image_output_filename)
        # Load image data
        authenticated_image_url = image_url+"?key="+settings.api_key
        logging.debug("Loading submission image. Height:"+repr(image_height)+", Width:"+repr(image_width)+", URL: "+repr(authenticated_image_url))
        image_data = get(authenticated_image_url)
        if not image_data:
            return
        # Image should always be bigger than this, if it isn't we got a bad file
        if len(image_data) < 100:
            logging.error("Image data was too small! "+repr(image_data))
            continue
        # Save image
        save_file(image_output_path, image_data, True)

as you can see it creates files with double extensions. but that's fine, nothing that total commander can't take care of. but why the hell does it create a link like "asdf.png.svg" to download but still grabs png instead of svg when the very same url ending in "png.svg" makes my browser grab svg?

Try both see what works for you, you'll probably find in the real world it makes little difference.

I'd personally always run a radiator as an exhaust where possible.

I'm trying to upgrade my Debian kernel manually but it is the first time I do this. How the process go?

As far as I think it goes, I think I should install linux-headers I want then linux-images I want and match the headers and then apt-get dist-upgrade.

Am I right? Am I wrong? Thanks for lending me a hand anons.

why does my android 5.1 encrypted boot take so much longer than my computer's encrypted boot? it's like a second vs a minute difference? don't phones have SSDs too? it should be much faster than my computer's HDD. why isn't it?

>>61262322
Intake, will keep your CPU cooler and positive pressure is good

>>61262185
Test the ssd on another computer to eliminate all the variables, but you need to reinstall windows on the new pc.

You can clone it only if you are booting in the same hardware, booting a cloned windows on a different hardware can lead to bugs and driver incompatibility.

>>61262424
Flash storage =/= SSD. Phone is much slower.

Add that to the fact the crypto calculations are probably much harder on the phone not only because it's less powerful but the PC probably has dedicated hardware for doing it.

"i" key on my laptop sometimes doesn't get pressed and sometimes it types twice.
I haven't spilled anything on it or anything like that, it just stopped functioning properly.
I was about to pop it with pen but I feel afraid it will break as it didn't pop easily.
How can I safely fix it?

wrong.
Higher end phones have fast storage, faster than HDDs. Midrange phones are still usually as fast as a HDD. random read is better on phone nand than on HDDs too.

It depend a lot on what phone you have. Phones boot slow in general.

Also, when comparing encrypted vs. unencrypted the raw read speed of the drive matters less than the decoder(CPU) power.

>>61262560
both the x86 and modern ARM CPUs have instructions for decoding AES faster, but the PCs CPU is still much more powerful which is why the phone is slower.

>>61262586
Nope.

>>61262581
just check a"how to" video, you can break it if you do it wrong.

>>61262623
One of the dudes you're quoting said that flash storage is slower than SSDs, not HDDs. And your chart proves his point. Dumbass.

does anyone ever use LaTeX as the main way to type documents and shit

Why do people say IPC when they mean single core/thread performance. Are they retarded?

What's the cheapest laptop you can get with a 1080p screen that's widely available?

>>61262710
Well i thought he meant much slower than HDDs because of this:

>it should be much faster than my computer's HDD.
>Phone is much slower.

When he said phone is much slower it seems like he compared the guys PC to his phone, not a SSD to nand.

Also, the iphone isnt much slower than a (sata)ssd either.

Is there a noticeable difference between the Intel Core M3-6Y30 and the Intel Celeron N3450?
Is a laptop with the M3 a better option?

>>61262749
No, unless it's an important presentation it's just a waste of time.

I type my notes, draft and general documents on google office, you know unless it's top secret or important don't bother.

I'm using LInux (lubuntu, specifically).
A friend of mine sent me some .zips. Their filenames contain Japanese characters and so do the files inside.

Unzipping these files normally produces gibberish filenames. What is the best way to prevent this?

My preliminary google searches indicated this has been a long-standing problem...

>>61262773
>Are they retarded?
Yes.

>>61262880
the celereon is based on Apollo lake (think intel atom) and the m3 is based on skylake.

The m3 is better in every way, but specifically it is more than twice as powerful in single core and the GPU is a lot more powerful.

The m3 is usually a lot more expensive tho.

>>61262908
It may be zip's issue, next time ask for a tar.xz or tar.gz or tar.bz

They are both crap, especially the overpriced Core-M, try to find a i5 around the same price or go home.

>>61262034

>>61262424
CPU on phones are pretty shitty.
Some might have hardware encryption support, some might not have it.

Equally, phones tend to have horribly shitty bandwidth between components of the phone.
The memory is one of these in particular that can vary wildly from version to version, never mind different brands entirely.
Think the difference between consoles and PC in gaming.
They can have fairly similar processors and GPUs, and because they are dedicated and the games ARE the OS, they should be better than the same hardware at the time, right?
Most don't because the console companies gimp the fuck out of the bandwidth between components so hard that the processors can never reach their full potential.

>>61263090
True, a 6 year old i5 buissness laptop will be faster and cheaper. The m3 isnt THAT far off (until it heats up and throttles) in this case though

Why does Youtube@4K looks better than 1080p on a full hd monitor?
When I play games with internal rendering @4K on a full hd monitor, does than mean I'm playing the game at 1080p with 2x SSAA?

>>61263249
>Why does Youtube@4K looks better than 1080p on a full hd monitor?
Because it's downscaled 4k. the bitrate is much higher than 1080, and since 4 pixels are downsampled to 1 compression artifacts are much less noticable.

It's really retarded that most people dont upload in 4k.

>When I play games with internal rendering @4K on a full hd monitor, does than mean I'm playing the game at 1080p with 2x SSAA?

yes.

Is upgrading a CPU as simple as swapping it out for a newer one with no other steps? I could've sworn that there's some headaches about doing it.
And since I'm asking, what would be a cheap step up from an i5-2500k that works with Windows 7?

can I get a quick rundown on the changes from Scheme R5RS, Scheme R6RS, and Scheme R7RS

>>61263163
It doesn't have to be that old, for example just a quick search: http://ark.intel.com/products/88193/Intel-Core-i5-6200U-Processor-3M-Cache-up-to-2_80-GHz

That one has the same price and it's faster. Not the best battery savers though, the i5's.

>>61263383
>Is upgrading a CPU as simple as swapping it out for a newer one with no other steps?
If it's the same socket, yes. Sometimes yo need to upgrade your bios first.

>what would be a cheap step up from an i5-2500k
Look for a 2600k or 3770k. The step up wont be massive. have a llok for stuff like Xeon E3-1280 which is LGA 1155 as well. It wont be super cheap though, and it wont be a massive step up.

>>61263393
Are you going by intel ark pricing or the price of machines that acctually use those CPUs?

macbook air, needs prop wifi driver, no ethernet

so debian live has a bug where it wont install without a internet connection, so anon suggested I use a different installer. which worked, except now I dont have the dependices to install bcmwl-kernel-source, I looked into apt-offline, but it wont install without dependicies(wrf Debian)

Im about to go crazy. been at this fot 24 hours

I have an older(~6months ish) arch netinstall iso, anyone know if it comes with bcmwl?

Chromium has this annoying "SIgn in to chromium" thingy in the top right. I never use it and want to remove/hide it from the gui.

How?

>>61263383
Almost, you need to install the OS again and make sure your motherboard and CPU cooler is compatible.

You don't have many options with the same socket http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/CPUs/Intel/Core_i5/i5-2500K.html

I recommend just selling your 2500k and motherboard, buy a 7700k + z170 motherboard if you want a noticeable difference.

>>61263558
i don't think it can be. even iridium which is basically chromium without google has that, even though the sign in button doesn't even work in it.

>>61263574
>buy a 7700k + z170 motherboard
7700k is only better for 120hz+ gaming with a high end gpu, if that's not what you are going to use it for a ryzen 1600 or 1700 + b350 mobo is significantly cheaper and much better.

>>61261986

I put my pc in a new case recently, i have a 120gb SSD, 1tb HDD, and a 2tb HDD that isn't showing up in windows. I can see it in BIOS as drive 3, but can't actually use it. Was a cord not plugged in well enough? it's kinda a bitch to take out and plug back in

What's the simplest way to "un-make" my last action in a drawing application (by applying what was there before on the changed part of the picture) instead of going back to a previous copied bitmap in undo?

Is it possible to use a Ryzen 5 1600 on Windows 7?

>>61263716
according to some tests it can cause crashing in win7

>>61263698
only one drive not showing up? does it show in disk management? if not, try re-plugging.

>>61263716
It's possible but it's a hassle. maybe try google..? http://www.anandtech.com/show/11182/how-to-get-ryzen-working-on-windows-7-x64

But even then you wont get the optimizations and it may be unstable.
I know windows 10 sucks but once you disable the spying best you can with third party apps and disable updates it's ok.

AMD should support W7. many people would be pleased with such decision and it would make them have a better opinion on AMD

Just intel prices, but it should reflect on the laptop price too. There may be a cheaper I5 laptop dunno, the buyer should do the research, countries prices may vary

>>61263901
>>>/dpt/

>>61263901
The count variable should be declared and initialized inside the loop otherwise its not starting from 0 on repeated calls to that function. Like if its 2 this time if you call it again its going to start counting from 2 not 0. Secondly the condition in the for loop is wrong it should be <= not ==. On the first itteration through the loop it checks if i equals the index of the last character of the string and it doesn't so it doesn't even enter the loop body once.

Because it downloads the image from image_url but get the extension to save it as from original_format, change that line before the else to just be image_output_filename = image_filename to fix it.
Dunno why it greens different format than your browser but probably because it gets the url from json_dict instead of directly from the url you pass it.
Also using regex instead of split to get the extension it's lulz worthy.

i wanna watch the free trailers in brazzers but i have hit the limit already. in the past using incognito mode which doesnt track cookies or whatever worked, but now they seem to have fixed it. can i find a way around without restarting router for different ip? tried deleting cookies already (just cookies tho) did not work.

in my web mapping class, we had to start an instance of xampp before viewing our website to actually see it working.

when i went home, i could load the website directly from my IDE and it worked fine.

but opening index.html from the file browser does not work because it doesn't know the jQuery identifier ($). I assume this is because I am loading jquery from a CDN.

Why, then? Why do I have to either run it on xampp or run it from my IDE? what is the difference?

Specifically the CBS, NBC, Comedy Central, Crackle, NPR News and Watch Food Network apps.

Alright /g/, if my laptop requires one more major component to be replaced, I'm entitled to a replacement/upgrade from the manufacturer from a first gen to a third gen model. Huge step up.

>What qualifies a major component?

I've had the screen replaced six times for defective LCDs, the keyboard replaced for failing keys, fans replaced, mobo replaced.

What is the fastest (and most believable) way to make the manufacturers think something was defective with their product? Hopefully I don't need to put down Ol' Yeller myself and he'll die naturally, but worst case scenario how can I induce a hardware failure, that appears to be on their end from defective hardware, that ensures replacement?

I've got some good ideas, but I wouldn't mind hearing yours.

the only error is "$ is not defined", which means jquery isn't loaded. but jquery is imported before main.js (all the actual site logic). but loading index.html from the IDE itself does not have this problem. our instructor said that it has to be loaded on a local server (xampp) but didn't explain why. i assume that my IDE is also running a background server. i just don't understand why this is necessary.

What do I have to do to make it compatible and what benefit would it offer me?

how are tripcodes calculated? is the a "official" documentation on them?

>>61264512
I'm not sure but can only assume your browser downloads both scripts async and the local one gets there before jQuery is fetched, if it was me I would throw in an event handler that waits for the document to be fully loaded before doing anything.

Okay guys, I'm having a very disconcerting issue with my PC
Often my audio will begin to sound very staticy, almost as if the audio were clipping, except its happening on perfectly acceptable volume, and every so often, the audio (and any video accompanying the audio) will lag out with the audio repeating itself for about half a second.
I looked online for what may be causing this, and I ran into the issue of DPC latency. I installed latencymon, and discovered that the audio dropouts were accompanied by spikes in interrupt latency. However, unlike the solutions I found on google, my latency spikes were not accompanied by any specific driver, or hard pagefaults (though there were MANY pagefaults occuring, they did not occur during the audio dropouts.)
This is driving me insane, and I can't properly listen to music or watch anything until I fix it, or at least know what the source of the problem is.
Pic related is the result of latencymon.

Try overheating the cpu. Insert a thin stick into the fan exhaust to block it, while the machine is turned off (so it doesn't scratch the fan). Turn it on and watch it burn.

I upgraded my MOBO, the old one came with bios while this one with UEFI support. I had dual boot (w7-linux mint).

After upgrading windows will crash at the loading logo and will cause the pc to reboot. Will formating everything fix it? Linux works just fine.

I had the idea to create a screen with no light so that it can be read in the sunlight, i found somebody has already done it.
Now, my question is ¿can i add a switch to the backlight somehow in a normal lcd screen?

You should reinstall windows fresh and review your last installed programs before installing them again, also any firewall with white list will stop keyloggers unless the keylogger is hidden in a white listed program (for example a firefox extension)

is that true, and does it apply to canada as well?

You didnt buy the parts,you bought the machine intact.Your warranty is for the machine as a whole.If you break the seal you void the warrenty. They may offer a maintenance program where you can buy additional space,but otherwise,any modification to the machine is breaking the warranty

Why do so many Python applications/distributions/etc make such a big jump between Python versions?

e.g.: Anaconda has a version for Python v2.7 and one for v3.6.

Python is a clusterfuck. They made massive, breaking changes for 3.0, so people had to rewrite their shit if they wanted it to work on both.

Hey /g/. It's difficult to explain why I did it, basically the shroud that my heatsink sits in was too big, and the heatsink is loose and wouldn't make contact properly with the CPU. So to fill up the space, I put some piece of napkins to tighten it, and as I predicted it actually makes contact. My question is, is this a fire hazard, since the napkin is directly in contact with the heatsink? If so, what alternative solution would you come up, I'm sure teflon or duct tape would just melt and make a bigger mess.

Basically the slot the heatsink holds onto is too big and it wiggles, and if I put it on the CPU like the way it is normally, it only makes contact with a quarter of the processor. The black part is the shroud, the gray is the heatsink, the red circles is where it's supposed to sit inside which is loose. It's a temporary solution to see if it filling the space in would fix the problem.

Haven't decided on a gpu yet

>>61266179
Thanks anon.

>>61267265
More and more games are becoming poorly optimized, so you may as well invest in an i5. Power of the i5 doesn't matter as much, even a low end i5 of the same gen will beat a high end i3 because it has four actual cores. As for GPUs, PC games are optimized for nVidia cards first and foremost, and won't get AMD optimizations well after release. Also, a growing number of games are calling for a lot and/or fast RAM, don't let anyone tell you that 8GB or more is too much.

>>61267260

Nothing major.
- Make sure your GPU fits in your case. They don't make REALLY fucking long GPUs anymore (AMD HD 6990) and modern cases are designed with long GPUs in mind, so this is a non-issue these days.
- If you're buying a massive heatsink for your CPU, make sure it doesn't hang over the top PCI-e slot and you don't have another place to put your GPU.

per /g/'s reccomendations i've been using noscript to avoid being tracked by what it's capable of blocking.

But I just realized: As I browse the internet, I temporarily unblock scripts as I need to to get the sites I view to work, since some scripts are needed to get sites to function. But the "temporary" permission lasts the entire browsing session. So If I go to this page, need to enable some script to get it to work, do so, then close the tab, there's still the potential that script is tracking me till I close my brwoser, which would be undesirable.

Is there a setting so I can tell it to make temporary permissions to only last untill the tab/all tabs using that script are closed, even if the browser session doesn't end?

I think it's mostly liability preventing features like that from existing at this point. Nobody wants to take the risk of the car doing something bad when nobody is inside to stop it.

Honestly, I've had the laptop four years. The first time I sent it back was this year, and each of the issues I had was through user error or a bad run of LCDs. I like the brand and their customer service. If I can get a new gen laptop out of it, along with a reinstatement of warranty, then it's been well worth the money - doubly so.

I could try puppy linux on a flashdrive, maybe?

I could also just fuck up the screen somehow.

If you are in a hotel is it acceptable to call the front desk to kill a spider for me? Or will they think I am a wuss?

>>61267893
My isp provides me with 1gbit up/down.
Your shitty utopia idea i would get less then 5mbps because they have to legally provide for every citizen(lets say 50k people)
So instead of 1gbit,i would get 5mbps with shitty pings and horrible peering.

Nah

>>61267901
Do it then report back.

>>61267901
Depends on the spider

>>61263574
Can I just reinstall my OS over my current storage and avoid having to re-download the rest of my current files from some separate backup?

>>61267901
I've had to call the front desk to unclog my massive turd out of their toilet more times than I can count. If they're willing to do that then I don't see why a little spider should be a concern.

>>61267932
No. You can shrink the partition and stick the new OS in the empty space.

>>61267932
Assuming Windows, then yes, just don't select to reformat or repartition during the setup. Your old install will be kept intact and set aside in a separate folder, and everything else on the volume will be left alone.

>>61267932
Usually with Windows this is fine as long as you don't repartition the drive or something. It will put your files in a folder called Windows.old or something like that.

Your installed programs usually need to be reinstalled though, besides for certain upgrade paths.

Does using WINE mean i'll share some of windows' vunerabilities?

Do you have any specific recommendations for free ones then that don't have dumb restrictions?

Okay so I want to code something that will record a window on my computer for 10-15 hours. Once done it will speed up the video by around 60x, and restart the program, click a few buttons and type a bit of stuff on the program and record again.
What is the best language (windows only) to learn that will do this desired task for me.
I got recommended to start with learning C, is this the right path?
I a'm aware I can pay someone to do this, but I want to also learn from the experience and do similar things in the future.

I think my headphone jack on my phone is broken. When I have the headphones in, the sound randomly cuts in and out, the volume jumps up and down, the play/pause button only works in certain positions, and the screen will randomly turn on like I pulled it out of the jack

Do i need to replace the entire thing?

I really haven't gotten any help from anyone on this and I just have no idea if the last resort is the only option

What's the difference between Firefox Browser and Firefox for Android beta?
The play store has both, and I don't know which one to install.

are you talking about the jack on the phone or the jack on the headphones?

because the problem isnt with the jack on the headphones, they are brand new and work in my laptop and other devices, and other headphones have the same problem on my phone

I have a 6700k cooled with a corsair h100i gtx
I recently migrated to a new case and I was having problems with temps, so I reapplied and remounted the cooler and also turned off my overclock while I was testing to see if temps were safe.

The CPU now sits at 45-50 degrees C at idle, roughly 25 degrees above ambient temp. Is this normal?
Also my PC is crazy loud for the first 5 minutes or so after boot and if I open up HW monitor / speccy immediately then it says my cpu is at 80 or 90 degrees, before slowly stabilising at 45C again a few minutes later. I swear it didn't do that before, what the fuck is going on?

>>61268325

So guys, i'm gonna buy a computer and i'm gonna use it as my main computer, my only computer. My activity is nothing heavy duty, but i think i should get a heavy duty workstation if i want to set it as my only main computer. Is it a wise decision ? I'm thinking about Thinkpad P50

I don't think so, I just rebooted again and opened task manager, cpu usage hovered around 60% while discord etc opened and then it dropped down to idle after a few seconds.

Meanwhile pic related was what I could see in HW monitor, and that cpu temp was at literally 100C just a second before I took the screencap.
Could it be a reporting error? I'm thinking that because I watched the temps for a few minutes and as the temps were slowly dropping there would be random spikes of 15C or more in the CPU temp which would disappear a second later, meanwhile there was no CPU activity in task manager.
(my system has more fans than shown here, they're just running from a fan controller)

Are you going to be moving around with it daily? Size does matter. A desktop replacement laptop becomes a pain in the ass to lug around and keep powered, if you're on the move all day.

Ok so is it wise to buy an ultrabook then ? I've also been eyeing on X1 Carbon, but the price is a bit of a pain in the ass.

And no, i don't move around a lot, so far. But idk if my future job will need me to move it around a lot. But so far i don't like using laptop anywhere without a table.

Google told me it prevented someone signing into my account. They used the same OS (Windows), same internet browser (Firefox) and were in a town about one hour from me. The time period matches and I did sign into Google from my laptop around then to access my YouTube subscriptions. I authenticated with my phone, etc.

Now I am 99% sure that it was just a fluke, but I wasn't prevented from signing in - so why would Google report it that way?. Did someone really get my password?

>>61268205
I think a more high level language like python or C# would be better for that case. You will want to search for existing libraries for program automation and go with whatever looks to be able to do it the easiest.

>>61267818
Yes actually I think Windows will just force a shut down to avoid damage, so the more minimalist the OS the better, try running cpuburn or playing a 4k video, shouldn't last long to fry.

>>61268552
>But idk if my future job will need me to move it around a lot.
If your job doesn't issue you a work PC then it's not a real job. You pay a premium for an ultrabook's small size, which I find reduces their appeal. List your needs, then buy enough PC for 110-120&% of those needs, no more. The middle of the road is usually the sweet spot for price and performance combined.

How do fix this shit? Pls help /g/

I'm thinking of building my first gaming PC which will be at budget costs. Should I go with an ATX or mATX form factor?

>>61268768
If you will only be gaming, go for mATX or ITX.
The only real advantage you get from having a full ATX motherboard is increased PCI expansion and more sata ports, m.2 slots, usb headers etc, but an mATX or even ITX will have enough of these for any reasonable use anyway.

I have a full ATX system and I use only one of the two m.2 slots, 3 of the 8 sata ports and only 1 of the 4 internal usb headers. I will sidegrade to an ITX system soon and will have the exact same functionality in a shoebox pc.

make sure you open port

>>61268655

if that's the case, i would suggest Transmission, qBittorrent, or Deluge.

otherwise, you may be dissapointed to learn that there are no "browsers" for torrents, just websites and trackers that host them

beta has more features and will have bugs. its the next version. after bugs are ironed out you'll get those features in the non beta version
for general use use the non beta version. if you are a webdev have a beta version installed too.

>>61267978
yes including ransonware

>>61268625
But small size is a plus, right ? I mean X1 Carbon is like 14". Also i guess it has strong performance as well ?

>>61268473
You could try using speccy if it's a software issue, or even

sensors

from within linux live USB in the command line. ~90C is too much for idling. You can try removing the sides of your case and just hovering your hand on the CPU to feel if it's too hot or not, that should immediately tell you whether it's a reporting error.

Sorry for obvious question but have you dusted it recently?

And did you build your own pc? What if something is not connected properly? Could the CPU temp spikes be connected to a PU failure?

>>61268552
Is T470 a good catch ?

>>61268911
sorry I'm a bit drunk I didn't see that you said that you used speccy and that you migrated to a new case, which would imply that you removed all your hardware from the old one, and installed them on your new one, duh, manually.

This is my situation right now, about 3 minutes after another restart.

Temps are consistent between HW monitor, Speccy and even corsair link which I just installed to make sure the pump on my AIO is spinning (it also took the liberty of taking over my AIO's fans and started running them at 100%, thanks corsair).
Also motherboard's temp is through the roof.

I touched the chipset heatsink and it's warmish to the touch, but not hot.
Then I grabbed hold of the cpu cooler's out pipe and it was quite warm to touch, my multi-meter's temp probe says around 40C

PC is completely spotless and was working fine before switching cases
thanks for helping me out
