Is it possible to attach a virus/trojan/malware/ransomware to an .mp3 file or similar? I downloaded an album off of a filehosting site after specifically requesting it to be uploaded from a person, which makes me massively paranoid of their intentions.

power inverter puzzle:
(all devices are new)
I have a small 12 volt battery running to a bestek 400w power inverter, using the included cables. I'm am trying to power a mini amplifier (drok audio tpa3116). alone, it will not power on but it does work if another device(headphone amp) is being powered

here is what I must to for it to power up:
reset everything
power adapter unplugged
power inverter off
amp off
second device off
plug everything in
power on inverter
power on secondary device (inverter has an audible change in load noise)
turn on amp
the amp runs fine
it is now safe to power off and unplug the second device
however, if I switch off the amp, I have to repeat the exact same cycle from step one.

this all started happening when I turned the amp up too high and made it auto shut down (it was not hot, I think it just has a low tolerance safety switch).

notes:
the amp still works fine when plugged into my outlets.
the inverter seems to power anything else I plug into it, just not the amp.

im going to replace everything one by one tomorrow to find the weak link, but I'm won erring if any of you might be able to figure it out before me.

A core is a physical package of microelectronics. A thread is a "train of thought" for that package. If a CPU has 4 physical packages and each package can be "thinking" about two different processes at the same time (it actually just switches back and forth between them really fast), we call that 4 cores/8 threads.

No matter what I do that's windows-related, my pc is showing a black screen after loading windows. The screen isn't DEAD, the backlight is on but it's just displaying black... as if it were displaying to another monitor. With the GPU unplugged and no extra monitors plugged in it still does this... Startup repair, the install itself, a windows install USB stick... all no dice, they load into the environment and then *poof* fucking black screen.

Does anybody know what I could do to remedy this? I've been trying to fix this fucking thing all day long and literally everything that I try results in that goddamn black screen after windows loads.

Well the next thing I would suspect is some kind of driver issue, so I'd try to get into Safe Mode. Unfortunately there aren't really reliable ways to do that in Win10 without being able to see what you're doing. You can try mashing F8 during boot. You could also try intentionally interrupting Windows booting by cutting power; after a few times, it goes into automatic repair mode which allows you to access Troubleshooting (and then Safe Mode is a special restart option).

So I have a high quality soundcard that I recently got and I notice on the desktop that sounds seem to cut off if there was no sound for a while.

This soundcard is connected to a 5.1 sourround sound reciever(even though my headphones are connected to the reciever) via digital Orange RCA jack(pic related)

Is there anyway to stop the sounds cutting off?
>>
>>61500740
Look for the sound card in your OS's device manager and check the settings for anything having to do with power saving or sleep modes. Make sure those are disabled. You might find similar settings under your OS's general power management. Look through the details to make sure that devices on your computer aren't turned off when idle.

If that doesn't do it, you should make sure it's not your receiver "going to sleep" before turning your scrutiny to the card itself.

Eh the card doesnt have sleep modes or whatever(its an old auzentech meredian 7.1 but its not like soundcards have changed much) but it also seems like my receiver doesn't have a settings menu(its from 2003 as well).
>>
>>61500771
And when it happens even without the GPU installed, the Win-P thing has no effect on the single monitor plugged into your mobo?

Which video connections do you have on your mobo, by the way?
>>
>>61500845
It's not that I'm saying the card would have a "sleep mode," but that your OS might be cutting power to inactive devices because of some power saving settings. That wouldn't depend on the device. It can even cut inactive USB buses.
>>
>>61500837
Yes. As long as you're talking just about the router and not the modem (the device which plugs directly into the wall via coax [cable modem] or phone line [DSL]), then you can use your own router freely.
>>
>>61500837
Router or modem?

If router, yes, just buy a cheap WRT54GL.
>>
>>61500849
Yep. The issue persists with and without the GPU installed. The absolutely infuriating part about this is that I was able to boot into recovery mode successfully a single time, and never since.

How do I make a live USB persistent? As in, if I install a program, I want the program to beer installed the next time I boot
>>
>>61501069
That's unsurprising. Just think about the difference between digital and analog signals. Having a device plugged into the digital output (which your computer would recognize) is going to make it susceptible to being either definitively on or definitively off. And that's where idle times come into play.

Look I mean you could try opening a sound file, setting your audio player to repeat and turning the volume down to zero. In theory nothing is measuring how much actual sound is coming from the component. All that matters is whether it's being used. Even at zero volume, the audio player will be using the device. Maybe that'll keep it active. Buys you some time until you have better ideas than snooping around for power settings.

I'll test that now
Fucking weird news from the testbench:
Looks like it displays to the correct monitor when the drive with the fucked boot manager is disconnected /regardless of whether or not that is the drive being booted to/. This is a gigantic issue, since wangblows is failing to read the drive if it's plugged in after the system is already on.... I.E, I can't actually run repairs on it.
This is honestly the strangest computer-related issue that I've ever seen since I had a bios with a corrupted symbol table.
>>
>>61501124

>>
>>61501137
That's actually not too surprising to me. Windows is terrible about accommodating misbehaving secondary drives even if booting off of a perfectly healthy primary. That's why I try to do as much drive fixing as I can from Linux. It'll mount pretty much anything without complaint. (Giggity.)

Anyway I look forward to hearing if the bad install is at least putting out a consistent display on ANY port.
>>
>>61501230
Looks like it's no dice. No port on the back of the mobo outputs any video after windows has booted as long as the problem drive resides within the machine.

I suppose that absolute worst case, I could buy a SATA > USB cable and then run bootrec on that after hot swapping it but it looks like other than that I'm out of options unless I'm missing something. I'm a little surprised that the drives aren't hotswappable, I thought that most mobos supported hotswapping now.

After building a PC what drivers am I supposed to download? I downloaded the GPU drivers but is there anything else?
>>
how do you guys that use bsd as a desktop os deal with external storage? do you use a file system that's cross platform?
>>
>>61501303
Many do, but I know mine was an opt-in setting in the BIOS. No clue why it's off by default but so it was. Maybe take one more deep peak through the available settings? While you're there, you might also look for the option to disable the CPU's integrated graphics. Lots of mobos support that, too. I have no idea if forcing the use of your video card might help this deranged drive get back on track but, hey, it's a possible thing we're missing.

Apart from that, you could try booting off of a Linux LiveUSB and seeing if the drive can be mounted in there. If so, there are non-Microsoft MBR utilities like
https://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/
which can be prepared as bootable USBs.
>>
>>61501313
All of the drivers for your motherboard. Just punch its manufacturer and model number into Google. The support page will have a whole mess of stuff for you to download and install.

I ruined my monitor's power jack while trying to fix it (I asked about soldering it in the thread a day or two ago and botched the job)
I'm also pretty certain that I may have fried the monitor's main board, although I don't have any voltmeter to test this out.

I've managed to find a replacement main board online for only $20. Everything is the same on the replacement board, aside from it missing two HDMI ports. Would it still be compatible with my monitor?

Also, any ideas on how to power a main board without a power jack would be appreciated. I've already tried [spoiler]soldering an AC/DC adapter to the main board, which is probably what may have fried the thing, as it hasn't been responsive after that[/spoiler]

Anon, it really depends on what mp3 codec your using. The mp3 file is not actually executed so to speak on your machine, it is interpreted by a codec.

What you need to do is find out what mp3 codec you are using and research vulnerabilities for that codec, and then you will have your answer.

If your running linux I can tell you that codecs dont execute with superuser privileges (unless you sudo your audio player) so the risk factor is very small.

If your using windows, then I wouldn't be surprised if you open a .txt file and your entire hard drive gets encrypted.

Also, if you are concerned about vulnerabilities I highly suggest you switch from nginx and use something like the java com.sun.net.httpserver library or the python basehttplibrary. For a small home network you dont need a load-balancing 10000+ thread http listener, python or java will handle small loads just fine and not have the vulnerabilities nginx does.

Well, if you are never going to really take it public, then it doesn't quite matter. As soon as you decide to throw it on public address space I suggest either a hardware firewall or
cd ~/htmlRootDirectory/
sudo python2 -m SimpleHTTPServer 80


use that if you dont want to code in python, its an already built http server included with python2 or you can build your own using the BaseHTTPServer library.

I literally just had someone hit my nginx web server with a zero day and trashed the server maybe about a month ago. I ended up coding my own server that runs on python which is damn near impossible to exploit compared to a c program.

also, with nginx/apache you trust a 20-100mb program you haven't taken the time to examine, or you can code your own in about 300-500 lines of code and put your faith in that. I would much rather choose the latter

only slightly more complicated, but still very easy. requires you to make a new python program which adds a ssl wrapper around SimpleHTTPServer
#Sample-HTTPSListener.py
import BaseHTTPServer, SimpleHTTPServer
import ssl
httpd = BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer((''InsertIPHere', 443),
SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler)

httpd.socket = ssl.wrap_socket (httpd.socket,
keyfile="key.pem",
certfile='cert.pem', server_side=True)

httpd.serve_forever()

Shell32 and explorerframe? In their respective folders inside of C:\Windows, don't mix up which is x86 and which is x64. For example, you have two Program File folders, one is called x86 and the other has nothing attached.
>If you're running a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows, you will notice that there are two separate folders where your Program Files are kept: Program Files, which contains 64-bit programs and applications, and. Program Files (x86), which contains 32-bit programs and applications.
For explorerframe you only need to copy the 64-bit version over after renaming the original as .old. Shell32 if you want it to take effect for something like Firefox's 32-bit version filepicker you need the 32-bit shell32 copied over.
Do not confuse System32 and Syswow64. The first is actual 64-bit, the second is 32-bit.

Why do all batteries lose their ability to hold a charge over time? Surely it should be possible to make a battery that will never lose its ability to lose a charge, or even one that will gradually be able to hold more as you break it in.
>>
>>61503811
Because entropy. Systems degrade over time, and the more energy you put in, the faster this degradation happens. Specifically the cathode will wear out:

http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/gadgets/how-to/a7432/why-your-gadgets-batteries-degrade-over-time-6705747/

There are all sorts of different chemistries you can use as batteries, and some of them hold max charge better than lithium-ion, but have other problems (chemically unstable, slow to charge, can't be mass-manufactured, uses rare/expensive compounds, et cetera).

Don't buy cheap brands because it's the most dangerous part of your PC. And PSUs have an efficiency curve, if you're underutilizing it it'll be less efficient. So don't don't "futureproof" too much, besides, it seems a lot of GPUs and CPUs are going towards less power used for slightly more performance instead of more performance and more power used.

I was transferring some files from my old computer to my current one. Since I have 2 SATA ports, it required me to unplug one of my current hard drives to connect the old one. The transfer worked flawlessly and I transferred the files to my main HDD which is the one with the windows installation.

The problem arose when I put back my old hard drive. My computer was stuck on the motherboard splash screen and promptly went to "BOOTMGR not found, press ctrl alt delete to restart". When I went to the boot manager, it only shows the auxiliary hard disk, and not the main one, even though the main one is the only one which remained unchanged.

Is there some setting in MPC that is cutting off portions of my video files? I've been trying to watch chinese cartoons with my friend using syncplay (I'm on MPC and they are on VLC), but sometimes it will give me an error saying that the video durations are mismatched. Obviously we double check to make sure we're getting the same file and everything.
Even when I go to the properties of the video in MPC, it will give the correct duration like in the pic while still cutting off 7 seconds of video. The only solution to the problem is to switch over to VLC for that episode, where it will work fine.

I don't want to be sold on a different media player or anything. I really like MPC. Its just a pain in the ass to flip back and forth between players depending on whether or not I get the error.

I don't like standalone microphones, I've had both back in the day, and I strongly prefer a headset combination.

Quality doesn't need to be the best, I plan to use this for video games, and I just need to be able to hear footsteps, no matter the quality of them.

Microphone is just for comms and callouts, not recording, or quality.

I would like to wear it for extended periods of times, which is why I need the lightweight feature, because my current Kraken will give me a headache after a few hours, and it's also wired so another draw back, because I do like to freely stand up, go to grab a drink, and be able to come back without interruption, or use the restroom, stuff like that.

The one contained in the backup is the older ver, so when you did the restore you now have two version of the same thing.

I will be explaining what I need and if you know of anything like it let me know.

____________

I need a rar file or a file of some sorts. Specifically I need to put in a bitcoin address into this file and then put a "password" on it.

I do not want the file to actually require a password, only that the password box pops up. And whatever they put inside that password box, is what the password will be from then on out.

So it will look like a completely normal "put password here to open file" basically, except for that, whatever password they put inside that login form, becomes the password.

Basically I'll be saying "I can read your mind, think of your favourite animal and describe it"

Input: a black panther sitting in a tree

I think he means version management. I dunno. But me whenever I replace/update any thing substantial I just add a V2 at the end of the folder name. I delete the old version kept on the server but I still use the V2 so when/if I do a restore I won't have any folder/file conflicts. Now once restore is done I'll have to go thru it all and delete the old non V2 versions. Pain in the ass it'll be but it's hell of a lot easier than - Restore full system from backup, clean up restored files, do full backup again. Would take like a week to do since I've got like little over 8TB atm.

Ok, a friend gave me his used Arctic Cooler 13 Limited Edition. It's perfectly fine but the thing is he lost one of the mounting hooks.

Right now I'm starting a CS degree in late Sept.

I love computers and I've been into them for the past 10+ years, and I was wondering whether there was a point in learning or perhaps even doing a Bachelor's in EE (3 years here, maybe even less since there are many classes that are shared between CS and EE) after doing a degree in CS/SE with a likely specialization in IT Sec.?

it won't be quite as simple as you think since if it's a uni instead of a community college/trade school, it likely has a requirement for more credit hours than there are related courses. the idea is to make you a well rounded individual, that's not really the result though as colleges and universities in the states at least have become largely nothing more than liberal indoctrination centers

The 0838 platform update is occasionally necessary for some shit to work. It was buggy when it first came out but it's solid now.
>>
>>61507023
Yes. Their primary use isn't games, and I don't give a fuck about boot times either. They just make your system way more responsive and smoother, and save you untold hours of your life, a second or two at a time. They're the difference between a computer that feels like it was made in the modern age, and something from 5 years ago.
>>
>>61507806
Well I'm not in the US.

This is my plan for now.

- 3 years for a Bachelor's in CS (SE specialisation) at a polytechnic/trade school
- Transfer to a uni because I can't get postgrad education with a polytechnic degree
- 2 years for a Master's in SE at a uni
- 1.5 year for a postgrad specialisation program in IT Sec at the same uni

Then I can get a Bachelor's in EE (Computer-related specialisation) at the polytechnic I first got my CS degree at in 3 years or less.

Hi /sqt/, I have a set of speakers (Microlab B-77) which have two RCA inputs on the back: one main and one marked "aux". I assume I can thus connect two devices to the speakers at the same time - however, there is no switch on the speakers to "choose" main or aux. Thus, I'm wondering could having two devices connected at the same time damage the speakers? If they both start playing will I hear both?

Depends on your goals but I would say start with Python. It's got quite understandable syntax, has a lot of libraries available (i.e. Code for complicated tasks already written by others which your code can call to do stuff more easily/quickly) and a wide community and a huge amount of reference material online. Once you have a good understanding of Python you'll be in a better place to move on to learning something like C++, and you'll have a better appreciation for the differences between the languages. It's far easier to pick up programming languages once you understand one.

Is this only in the same site or multiple sport streams in different sites?

Is there a way to force a single windows update package to install on Windows 10 LTSB?

Normally this OS version doesn't get updates at all from what I can tell (Been using since April 2016 and I have installed none so far) and that's the point, but now there's a slight issue.

I use LTSB on my workstation because fuck the bloat and other shit in the other versions, plus all the extra control. The problem here is, I want to switch over my workstation to a Ryzen build, but there is sort of a critical Windows update that solves some serious scheduling issues with Ryzen, and it's bad if you don't have it. This isn't an issue for regular Windows 10 versions as that patch was released around the same week as Ryzen itself, but LTSB never got it.
>>
>>61509276
Any of them.
>>
>>61509283
LTSB gets updates, the whole point of LTSB is that it will get updated till windows 10 is not supported anymore.
You might have the update service off or disabled it trough group policy editor.

Also:
"Finally, we have reviewed the limited available evidence concerning performance deltas between Windows® 7 and Windows® 10 on the AMD Ryzen™ CPU. We do not believe there is an issue with scheduling differences between the two versions of Windows.  Any differences in performance can be more likely attributed to software architecture differences between these OSes."
>>
>>61509350
Woops, meant to quote that not put code brackets.
>>
>>61509350

Oh, fantastic. Thank you, I only read about this months ago and have been pushing off an upgrade to Ryzen from my 4790k since then because I thought I'd have issues.
