I'm booting up my desktop that has Win10 on it, and it boots up extremely slowly. When it gets to the loading screen, instead of taking seconds, it takes literal minutes and this always seems to happen semi-annually for a few days until it's back to normal. I have my OS on my SSD. I tried getting rid of the bloat but it still starts slowly. I also scanned my drives for viruses and none were detected. Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

I built my first PC back in March, and I've had no problems whatsoever except for BSODs which started a few weeks after I built it. I always get the same error ("BAD_POOL_CALLER"), which is a drivers related issue. At the time I had not installed/plugged in any new devices.
The BSODs were quite rare up until a week ago when I started getting a lot of them (a few a day). Also, my mouse (a Dell mouse from 2007) has started to digitally un-plug and re-plug itself. It started with once every few hours, but now it sometimes happens 20 times per minute and will often stay disconnected for up to 15 seconds (however, usually it only lasts a fraction of a second is often only noticeable because of the sound effect. Also, it often doesn't disconnect at all for like 45 minutes).

What's the best way to troubleshoot my driver issues, and could it be that my old mouse is the culprit? Regarding the digital unplugging, how do I know if my mouse is the device with the problem and not something else (I've already tried multiple USB slots)?

Vim. Might as well learn it early on.

Seriously though, at least use notepad++ or something, syntax highlighting is nice. Linter addons for notepad++/Atom/Sublime are the things taht tell you when you type "wrong" code.

>not recommended for noobs to use IDEs
I dissagree with that, argument is that IDEs are too helpful... like fuck that, you are learning programing, the overall idea, how to break stuff in to small pieces that you can code...
the idea you are better off learning with editor because it does not help you with auto-completion.. fuck the idea that its about memorizing syntax

and the best part is that people who tell you go editor will also start talking about how to make the editor almost IDEs level with all kind of features

anyway, as far as editors go... they are fast and quick to do stuff, they are also universal, so if you learn your editor you can be writing in it everything and anything with all the features and tricks you are accustom to. No matter if bash, python, C, javascript or powershell,...

anyway, my pick is sublime text, incredibly fast and comfy, theres shitload of stuff on how to use it effectively
heres some quick overview
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIkg3Oo1PVM

recommend staying away from VIM that was recommended to you, sure check it out, but its so alien at first few months that you will be spending more time learning editor and getting used to its strange but powerful approach to do things

>>61543073
Yes, codenamed Raven Ridge. Should launch on laptops later this year, and Q1 2018 for desktops. They don't have it yet because it's using Vega for its GPU, and they probably wanted to focus on their bread and butter first. They're being stretched as it is launching Ryzen, Epyc, Vega, Threadripper, Vega, Ryzen Mobile, Ryzen Pro
>>
>>61543179
TY anon. Toying with a Ryzen build or intel build. I don't want to give my money to Shilltel but I can't afford much of a graphics card for now.

Will their onboard graphics be comparable to Shilltel? Or better/worse?
>>
>>61543286
The only time Intel's iGPU is in the same performance bracket as AMD's was the i7-5775c, a fucking $380 chip. If you need onboard graphics now, however, there's only Intel. IF you can, try a cheap GPU like the GT 1030
>>
>>61543286
Intel's drivers are shit, so AMD wins by default unless you use a very specific set of programs that happen to work well with Intel.

If you're building a gaming PC, you really want to get a video card unless you're buying in at poverty level. Like <$400.

>>61543517
In theory there can be optimizations you can do with different instruction sets but mainly it comes down to being able to address more memory. If the program doesn't need more than 3GB it doesn't really matter.

>>61542955
thx for replying
my analogy is kind of weak, but I see it as learning basic operations in math using a calculator, it makes you dependant
yes, I heard Vim's learning curve is steep but I think it's worth the effort, it's an editor you have to know whether you like it or not
I'll try Sublime and its addons, thx for the video

I decided to try dual-monitor setup but my old 24" has a wallpaper burn on it. How do I get rid of it?
>>
>>61543517
On x86 specifically, they added a couple more general purpose registers on 64-bit. Which makes it easier for compilers to optimize code and makes most CPU limited tasks a little faster.

Stuff like word processors and music players tend to be limited by IO and system call latency rather than CPU. Maybe ripping or transcoding in a music player.

I think the big consideration for them is forward compatibility. 32-bit software on 64-bit OS requires extra support, which may be removed some point in the distant future. Or more likely not be supported in a x86-on-ARM environment.
>>
>>61543794

>>
>>61543730
>I guess I'll pick notepad++
well for start you might want to pick an editor that is multiplatform

>it's an editor you have to know whether you like it or not
maybe if you are a linux sysadmin that spends lots of time in terminal
otherwise I have no idea why would you think that

>GNU+Linux

I'm still using Windows 7 and a Phenom II x4, but it's starting to bother me how much I'm not able to do because I don't have Windows 10. I want to upgrade, but why bother upgrading to anything other than the latest lineup of CPUs? Except the latest lineup requires some fuckery to get working on Windows 7. But Windows 7 means no Windows 10 exclusive games, no Xbox One controller support, plenty of weird little bits of software not working, etc. I've stuck with Windows 7 because I didn't like the UI of 8, and 10 is flat out fucking cancer with it's forced updates and constant spying, but how much of that is disableable? I know the recommendation is always to use the Enterprise version for the controls it offers, but can you actually remove the cancer in that and go back to updating only when you want to and not being spied on?

Alternately, how viable is it on a normal desktop build to use something like unRAID, to keep a Windows 7 and Windows 10 build both installed and running at once, assuming I have the GPUs for it? The whole thing about unRAID is that it lets you do things like with without making anything weird for anything running inside either OS, right?
>>
>>61544919
So far there is no game that is worth making you upgrade to W10.
There is xbone controller support for 7.
So far thats not a thing yet.
Some of it, or nothing based i the version, telemetry cant be disabled without breaking the OS, placeboo programs are still placeboo.

What you are looking for is Windows 10 LTSB.

tl;dr I soft bricked my phone and I have no idea what to do

I'm using a galaxy s7, SM-G930P. It was running the latest firmware update when I started this whole adventure. Before doing all of this, I made a backup with smartswitch.
I wanted to downgrade the firmware to 6.0 for gps spoofing shenanigans. I found this guide (https://spoofaholics.wordpress.com/the-downgrade-process/) to help me do it. I followed it exactly, but I did not use sammobile because regular downloads were not working. (and won't work for another few days.) So I found some 6.0 firmware on some other website that I can't remember, and installed the AP thing with odin 3.12.7. It rebooted, but then it got stuck in a boot loop. Download mode was the only thing that would work, so I went to that and installed a different firmware from here. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-galaxy-s7-firmware/ I don't remember exactly what happened next, as this was 3am and I wasn't running on much sleep to begin with. All I remember is that it gave me a "an error has occurred while updating the device software" error, or something along those lines. I might have tried again, with success, but now whenever I boot up my phone, it says it needs a password to decrypt my data or something. I've not set up anything like that, and my weak google-fu shows that I need to do a factory reset, but I want to avoid doing that if possible. Smart switch also no longer recognizes my phone.
Despite my backup, I still don't feel entirely safe. What can be done with all this mess?

Long story short I have a z170 motherboard and a Celeron g3900. Is it possible to overclock the Celeron? I'm just curious if it's possible since this is going to be for a Facebook machine.

(The long story is that I spilled water on my computer and I thought I killed the motherboard, but I washed it off with distilled water and then rubbing alcohol and cleared the cmos and it worked again. I still didn't want to risk it over the long run so I sold my i5 and ordered a Ryzen board and processor. I have a spare PSU and an old case, so if I can get this to work with a $30 Celeron I bought used off eBay, I'll put a cheap drive and ram in it for my brother. If I could overclock the Celeron that'd be a nice bonus I guess).

Even the GPU?

Alright, so: I got it running now, and as a test I ran a fairly GPU-intensive game I have. It ran fine. I'm probably going to uninstall anything related to OC'ing just for a clean start. Can I assume my GPU is fine/stable/not ruined/not a ticking timebomb?

I did a complete reinstall about a year ago when I switched the OS from my hard drive to my solid state. It only started happening a few days ago. It runs fine (outside of ReCaptcha being a bitch, which was happening around the same time as the slow boot), it just boots very slowly.

Is there a way to bypass Windows' loading prior to sorting a folder in the way you've selected? If so, how?

Sorry if the wording was messy, but to clarify I mean I sort every folder by "Date", where the Windows default is "Name". It can take upwards of a minute to actually sort a folder by "Date" once I open it, and I don't see why. Can I bypass this loading, and if so, how? Thank you. For context this is on Windows 7 Ultimate.

Cheers. Thanks for the help and the quick reply. Not to imply help is no longer appreciated after a period of time has passed, but still.

I just thought it was arbitrary how one option requires loading and the others don't. I thought I could force all folder to default to a different option to remove loading, if I had to.

Tbh I actually didn't consider the power of an SSD in this context. This actually makes it more appealing to me now since people always speak of how one definitely notices an improvement in general use, but all my folders no longer requiring a buffer to use would make browsing way more streamlined for me.
>>
>>61546644
One is loading by the name,which is an easy task,then sort by alphabet
The other is reading each files date,which is an embedded datagram and then sorting them.This takes time,and your cpu+hdd are lackluster in the process as it reads each ones embedded data

You just made that up, and filenames have to be listed from disk too.

I ended up fixing it. I shut down the computer, unplugged every piece and replugged and rearranged all the internal parts, changed some CPU and boot settings, cleaned the insides and now it boots up fast again.

You are a retard if you want to attempt to use bash as a calculator, or even python for that matter. Just open up an actual calculator program. If you really want to know how to do arithmetic in bash, just google it.

int CALLBACK WinMain(

) {
SomeStruct *some_struct;
};

and you should get past it. Think about what you're telling the compiler to do. In the first case you want to put something of unknown size on the stack, which it can't do; in the second case you're want to put something of known size, a pointer, on the stack, which it can do.

Use bc. You can use eg "echo scale=1 >> ~/.bc" to make it use more decimal places by default. I have a couple of hacked up bashrc snippets that let you just write math on the commandline too:

# command if, for instantce, it is actually a math expression or path to a
# non-executable file we can handle that here.
trap _permission_denied_handle ERR
_permission_denied_handle() {
case $? in
126|127) # EPERM|ENOENT
command_not_found_handle $(history | sed -nr '$s/^ *[0-9]+ +//p')
;;
esac
}

# This isn't called for "commands" that bash doesn't look for in PATH, ie with
# a slash in them. So division for example won't work too good.
command_not_found_handle() {
if [ -f "$1" ] ; then
_mime_run "$@" && return
fi
case $1 in
[0-9]*)
bc<<<"$@"
;;

# Get's printed twice if we return 127...

Windows file history. It saves all of your files every Nth time period, and then if it still has space it marks the old versions as old and then saves the new ones so you can restore old versions.
It's like a regular backup but it doesn't touch windows at all and lets you treat files a little like version control

My computer isn't installing it's windows 10 updates it just keeps trying on its own on and off and when I save pictures I get an incomplete save window lacking options not to mention the basic photo viewer app didn't install ether.
What the hell went wrong when I installed Windows 10 and what do I need to do to fix it.
I feel this is a stupid question simply because outside of this my os is doing everything else just fine.

Yes.

if you successfully fill a hard drive all you need to do is worry about reading the damn data. not writing. if you have a problem with sectors there's nothing wrong with reading the sectors that you've filled, get it?

using youtube-dl, is it possible to blacklist urls?

basically, i want to have a text file containing a list of youtube urls.
when youtube-dl is invoked, i want it to check the text file to see if there is a match.
if there isn't, i want youtube-dl to proceed normally.
if there is, i want youtube-dl to not download the video.

is this possible with youtube-dl? would i need to use some other process or tools? how would i do this?

Anybody know why Windows might have an issue recognizing installed programs?
They don't show up when I search for them, and if I dock them on my taskbar they sometimes do this- This is Discord running as launched from the task bar, but it spawned an additional white icon instead of simply subbing the bar one.

The only programs that show up in searches are default windows installed programs, not even Visual Studio pops up when searched for.

Also, I can't really do that. I'm a developer, I rely on a ton of software being installed and easily accessible both to me and to other programs, and a lot of the time portable versions don't support that.

If you mean change how a program runs, and not just through a config file, then you will need to learn how to use a decompiler or dissasembler. Unless it is written in a scripting language and then you just need a text editor.

Still doesn't work
>>
>>61550070
Use the readme.

Have you installed the loader but you're not genuine? Just check the following.

* Check the details line contains "v2.1", "v2.2" or "v2.3"
* Try to validate online with Internet Explorer at http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate/

Note: If the details line doesn't read v2.1, v2.2 or v2.3 then go to the advanced tab, select to disable type 4 memory and reinstall the loader. If that doesn't work then use the legacy setting instead.


Q. I installed the loader and I'm still not activated, so what do I do now?
A. Go to the loaders advanced options tab and select to either either disable type 4 memory or use the legacy setting, then press install and reboot when prompted. You may also need to select the option to ignore the systems existing SLIC and/or revalidate online.

Q. The loaders status says "Unsupported partition table", why is this?
A. You're either using GPT on a UEFI motherboard or you've got a locked OEM partition. Both problems can be fixed by fully formatting your entire hard drive.

Q. I received the error message "Failed to add loader to the boot code", what do I have to do?
A. Disable any system protection. Some types of software block the loader application from installing to the boot code.

Q. I've used a version of the loader before and it failed to work, what do I have to do?
A. If you previously used bootsect to get back into Windows then you first need to press uninstall, reboot and then install the newest version of the loader.

Q. I lose activation status after my systems been to sleep or has been in hibernation, can I fix it?
A. Go to the advanced options and select to disable type 4 memory, install the loader again and see if that cures it. If you're not cured try to disable type 3 memory instead. If it still fails try selecting the legacy setting.
