I am using 2 monitors, one tv and one computer monitor.

my computer monitor is connected hdmi to hdmi and works great

my tv is connected display port to hdmi.

I can get video but I get no sound.

If i connect display port to hdmi to my monitor I get no video and no sound.

When I go into my sound playback I can see my monitor when connected via hdmi. but my TV does not come up through the display port

It says nothing is plugged in for any of my display ports.

How do I get sound, I updated my graphics card drivers but i can't get the display ports to work.

Also not quite as important but the display on my tv won't pick up unless I have my tv on first. When I had my old computer I could turn my computer on and turn on the tv when I needed it as a second monitor. (this was hdmi to hdmi though)

I'm assuming I need drivers but I can't find any and I updated my graphics card drivers but nothing is working.

>>61924273
Antergos w/ KDE Plasma 5

like, the person who ripped this thing couldn't have deliberately have made the music stereo but the voices mono could they?

>>61924288
im not familiar with your specific distro, and the DE doesnt matter this is mostly a kernel thing. ill give you kind of a generic walkthru, should work on most distros

first, identify the module name for the hardware device using

lspci -k

or lsmod

find the module name for your bluetooth device.

next, you need to blacklist the device in your kernel.

find a file named /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist or /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf or something similar. this should be in your modprobe.d directory.

add an entry to the file like this:

blacklist mod_name

and reboot.

you can also

rmmod module_name

to delete it permanently

if that doesnt work i suggest googling it for your distro

>>61924365
I can't seem to find anything labeled as a bluetooth adapter using lspci -k. What would it look like? Also Antergos is basically just Arch Linux with an installer menu.

According to Speccy my SSD runs at 50C/122F

Pretty sure this shouldn't be happening but how damaging could it actually be?

I have the SSD in this little pocket almost on the outside of the main inside of the case where there's no fiddling to try and plug stuff in and it is very easy access, but then this obviously doesn't get much airflow so I could move it to a tray if this is bad for it?

Pic related kinda shows where the SSD is, it is kinda hard to explain in both words and pictures

Talked to a Dell rep, said the laptop has an empty slot for another harddrive, but didnt tell me it was an M.2 slot, only for SSD's, which a TB would be like $300.

Can anyone here recommend a good/cheaper maybe 500gb M.2 SSD?

Or, would it be possible to download and run steam games from a USB3.0 external harddrive well enough? So I could then put the bulk of my games on that and the more intensive stuff like FO4, etc, on the machine's SSD? Thanks for any help

How do I make my GPU shut the fuck up? It's got a passive mode and when I set it to kick in around 65C, when playing light games it constantly ramps up and down like a fucking retard from 0% to 25%, even with a relatively high hysteresis. It normally wouldn't bother me, but it doesn't have any smoothing on the ramp, so when it goes from 0% to 25% it sounds like a plane taking off for a split second, then is silent again.

If I set a stupidly high hysteresis of like 10C, it means when I'm playing an intensive game it will get to its highest fan speed then never ever shut the fuck up. If I set it to come out of passive mode at a lower temperature, it does the same thing when idling at the desktop. I can't win.

Is there any way with Afterburner to have the hysteresis be different at different points in the graph? Or do I need to just disable the passive mode completely?

Can anyone explain how the 1800X and 5960X are both 8 cores, the 1800X wins in multi-threaded applications even though they both have the same amount of cores and the 5960X has better single-core scores? Is it because AMDs SMT is better than HT?

Of course. An external drive is pretty much the same as an internal one. With USB 3.0 you can get transfer rates of around 600 MB/s, so no need to worry about loading times and such.

WiFi is not the internet. WiFi is how you talk to your internet connection.

Think of the internet like a bunch of people in a country club who can talk to each other. Membership is limited and expensive so you can't get in. But you can pay someone who is in that country club and he'll pass your messages along. He's your internet service provider. Now how do you talk to him? Well you have to call him on his phone. Maybe your phone is a house phone with a wire. (Wired connection between computer and internet provider.) Maybe your phone is a cell phone. (WiFi connection).

How the fuck do I learn Linux and terminal commands and the like? I started using ubuntu but I feel like a retard still when I read stuff like this.

>>61928002
just hypothetically speaking

>>61928055
I find it easiest to learn on a case-by-case basis. If i come across a new issue, I spend time looking up online how to do it through the terminal first, and then if that's not possible through some GUI program. It's better than just cracking open a book on terminal commands and hoping to memorize them

>>61928055
Just look up anything you have trouble with and you'll figure shit out over time. Or read a massive wall of text and memorize shit you don't have to, that's faster but worse.

>>61928019
Thanks anywaym

>>61928055
time.
delete windows.
use nothing but linux, you will adjust and once you are proficient you will likely feel that it is far superior to a gui.
once you are good you basically get low-level control over the entire os with the command line.
this is my autism speaking but i think of it like wizardry. commands are like spells and once you know how to cast these spells you can make real world results with it. the trick is spending the time to learn the correct invocations for what you want to accomplish.

so basically time. just keep practicing and using linux and you will become a terminal wizard eventually

>Is it even possible to get a virus by just pressing a link or opening a page or something?
absolutely. even on mobile.

>Is the only way to get a virus is to accidentally install it yourself?
absolutely not

the 'install yourself virus' is whats known as a trojan.

worms can infect you by taking advantage of vulnerable services via networking

and browser exploits will affect vulnerabilities in browsers often leading to privilege escalation and persistence (meaning it uses administrative rights to basically install itself somewhere on your machine)

when visiting websites the most common attack vectors for browser exploitation are via javascript and flash.

if you disable both of these your chances of a browser exploit become very very tiny

So basically I have a problem with my computer's monitor.
Usually, I put my computer in sleep mode, and recently when it "wakes up" my monitor started going nuts. It turns on for a split second (and you can see the desktop), then turns off for like 2 seconds (this repeats for an indefinite/infinite amount of times). This is all accompanied by an electric noise right before monitor tries to turn on.
This doesn't seem to happen when I turn off and on my PC normally (no sleep mode).
Also I noticed that the high pitched noise occurs when I turn on my monitor by pressing the power button (on the monitor).
Tried it with HDMI and VGA, same thing.
Can the problem be the power adapter or is my monitor dying?

Is there a way to make Windows render a space bigger than my monitor?

I'm trying to play some older games that don't properly support changing your FOV, I need to be able to zoom the screen in (in effect reducing the FOV). I'm able to do this using Windows Borderless Gaming, by making the game run at a resolution bigger than my monitor, then centering it, but it's kind of a messed up solution as it introduces input delay and impacts FPS. When I force a custom resolution bigger than my monitors native in the Nvidia control panel, it obviously just scales it to fit.

Is there another way to make the space being rendered by the GPU bigger than your screen, so I can run games in full screen mode like this? Kind of like when you plug a laptop into a TV and the scaling is messed up and cuts off the edges of the screen, thats basically what I'm trying to achieve. I'm on an Nvidia GPU if it matters.

Pic related is an example if there's any confusion, the top being how it is, and the bottom being how I want it. Ty anons.

Currently running windows 7 with integrated realtek audio.

is it possible to output audio to both the optical and 3.5mm outputs?

I currently have my speakers connected to a receiver via optical and I want to connect a graphic EQ via 3.5mm so I can use the VU meter.

I don't want to run the audio through the EQ because the contacts are corroded and I haven't fixed it yet, so the sound can be scratchy.

thanks for your time.

Open Launcher crapped out on me and it shows me some errors as soon as I open it.

Tried rebooting it and nothing helps.

should be somewhere in your audio device settings. maybe a click box that says disable/enable or something?

try device manager, and also try right clicking on your audio icon thingy in the tray

>>61928486
Hmm pretty annoying, there's a way to do it in the Nvidia control panel, but it will only let you go smaller than your native resolution, not bigger.

>>61928551
possibly uncheck the 'two audio streams' button, because maybe you want them both to play the same stream at the same time?

not sure.

also try maybe messing with the 'set default' drop-down, maybe thats causing one output to take priority over the other

>>61928563
there is no native OS method to scale the overall display?
im guessing your not on linux, because all you would have to do is

>>61928551
also, comming from someone who used to do audio production, you should really invest in a usb audio interface and then you can just have the interface do all of this stuff for you without having to mess with windows settings, which at times makes things unecessarily difficult to do

>>61928627
I'm not sure on Windows. I'm trying to just use the built in Windows Magnifier but it's shit, it has no option to let you just set it in place, it has to be either following your keyboard inputs or mouse.

I guess even if I was on Linux, I wouldn't be able to use xrandr anyway as I'd need the Nvidia driver installed to be able to play games.

They always were. There was just not too much normies in thech until recently - smartphones, social media - all that shit brought them in. And its not because they that stupid, just because they dont care to learn beacuse its a waste of time for them.

Networking mainly. I'm too impatient for programming.

I'm just trying to get experience man. I couldn't even care less about the pay for instance.

>>61928877
>Would getting Comptia A+, Security+ and Net+ be worth it?
absolutely. If you want to get into networking do the Net+ and the cisco CCNA. the CCNA is more important than the Net+, but both are highly recommended for what you are doing.

>>61928882
I suggest going to some tech school in your area. one of the ones that trains you to pass some certification exams. choose what you want to do. windows service tech will probably open the most doors, although you will never get a non plebeian position with any of the windows certs, you will basically be telephone help desk somewhere. its menial, its pretty much dead end, but its proabably the easiest way to get a tech job

while i agree with the statement, i disagree on a certain specific point; people around the age of 28 grew up having to tell computers what they wanted them to do, not having the computer do everything for them.

people who grew up needing to know how to do low level networking and memory debugging just to get a freaking copy of doom to work right on lan, or configure a custom bootloader just to make Ultima VII run properly are ahead of the game when compared to most millenials who are so used to a gui that when it comes to the terminal, where the real power is, 99% of them are clueless and cant do anything unless if somebody programs it for them first

what are you going to do on it? what exactly do you want? whats your budget?
just buy 2 1080p displays and you're good.
if you are short on cash you can buy an old 4:3 LCD or even CRT. CRTs actually have really GOOD colors and cost close to nothing.

>>61929179
>If I splice an ethernet cable and hook it up to two computers, do they get half the bandwidth?
No. You MIGHT be able to use one full duplex cable as two half-duplex cable.

You get two separate speeds, 2x 100M or 2x1G.

Some guys download the Android source code and compiles it for a certain hardware. It might include added/removed software, custom kernel configuration, custom other config and so on.

I know I could add it straight to the theme files by drawing it in but that feels too hacky to me and I'd rather add it into the title string instead.

Why the FUCK is vlc such a laggy piece of shit? Potplayer has no issues playing any mp3 whatsoever but when i play that same exact file back in vlc it sounds like a scratched analogue record due to all the crackling and choppy bits

>>61930952
mpv

>>61930935
Anon do not do it. Life is wonderful and miracles do happen. No matter how deep you are in malicious company or how deadbeat you think you are, you can always escape your situation.
But yeah your best bet is a wall-plugged arduino with a wifi shield that has just enough memory for a kurt cobain letter to be sent to several e-mail addresses.
It's like 2 days of research and copypasting code.

Why doesnt Windows have a 32bit dos emulator built into its system?
There are a lot of things I want to do but windows is just so confusing to me.

>>61930952
Use mpv.

I had the exact same grievances as you, but mpv made it all go away.

>>61930959
so if i get the adapter thing with the chip, like does it have to be destroyed for the email to be sent or something, i mean im not gonna do it unless shit gets worse and more retarded.

>>61930958
Well goddamn, i had grown so used to using vlc the last couple years over... I'll try the most recent version of vlc but if that doesn't work either then i guess it's finally time to disregard it once and for all

>>61930998
Arduino projects are basically DIY computers. The wi-fi shield is just an added type of input and output, no different from putting a LAN card in your motherboard.

I just noticed that you can filter specific inline scripts, so you don't lose any other site functionality.

Something like

tvtropes.org##script:contains(removeChild(document.body))

should only block the evil inline scripts.

What is the best gaming laptop brand, in terms of bang-for-buck? I want to spend about 1500-1700 on a good one. Travel a lot so I can't get a desktop. Or if you want to go the extra mile, sell me on a particular model.

Pls responb, I am dumb.

>>61931029
Dell or HP.
I think I saw some Dell Inspirons with 1050 Tis for about that price, very good deal.

I would get a good HP Elitebook with a good i7 processor, a good sized SSD, and upgrade the RAM to 32GB at minimum, as well as getting a good video card upgrade.

Metal case is durable, so it travels well (designed to survive drops and the spills onto the keyboard), and the thing was built to be modular as hell.

You play crysis 3 at 16K or something?
You should get a non-gaymurrr brand laptop like Dell or HP with a 1080p screen, some 4 core i7 and at least a 1050 Ti GTX, no mobile shit.
So far we have spent about $1000. Depending on what games you play, you should get 16GB or more of RAM. I personally cache as many game files as I can, if not the whole game, to a RAM Disk automatically at login.

>>61931272
Stick to name brands. Else you risk zero spare parts, sparse support, or general lack thereof past or even during warranty.

What foods can I eat that will leave me feeling full for a while?
I'm a skeleton but have been eating huge portions for my meals while in the military to escape the catacombs. The food was free and served in the mess.
Now my contract ended and there's no more mess hall for me to eat in, and I've been hungry 24/7 since then.
>lol just eat more
my meals are the same size but I still feel hungry again literally 1 hour later and I don't have time to have a lunch-sized meal every hour

looking for a new hobby, what're some good ones I can do in my room?

Lots of cauliflower. Not as nutritious as broccoli but it has a neutral taste and you can add it to soups, frozen vegetables, scrambled eggs or just munch on it.

I'm starting work in Visual Studio and all of the sudden it sometimes happens that the program stops autocompleting words for me. Did I accidently press something? If so, how do I fix it?

>>61931467
Update your chipset drivers/firmware.
>>61931492
Probably happens after you manually close your program while it's debugging. Stop the debugger or click Build again and it'll snap back to normal.

GTX 980 Ti is the most powerful videocard that has a DVI port that actually works with a VGA adapter.
all modern cards dropped the analog kind of DVI and only have digital DVI wich wont work with the VGA adapter.

Premise:
2 PCs, both connected to a wireless network and connected to each other over ethernet cable.
Question:
When copying data from one to the other, will they use the cable or the wireless network?

Do I need to setup IPs manually on each of the cabled adapters so they can see and copy like that while wireless is working or does it work in an "Unidentified Network" environment where their IPs are 169.254.x.x?

I recently signed up for expressvpn. I have Comcrap and a Netshit router. On my PC I installed the expressvpn client. Everything's fine for a while. Then after an arbitrary amount of time i'll come back to my pc and my internet connection icon in the system tray in Windows 8.1 shows a yellow warning sign and expressvpn says it's on lockdown because it lost a connection to the internet. The moment i close expressvpn client my internet access returns. I can then reopen expressvpn and everything's fine again for a while. Repeat

Are HGST He6 HDDs supposed to be really fucking loud?
I recently got a bunch of 6TBs in "like new" condition (<20 starts) and there are two issues on all of them: clicks on idle every few seconds and extremely loud seeks. Not even my 10yo samsungs make that much noise and vibration.
Smart is fine and HGST tool does not detect any issues, during long linear operations they are quiet enough.

Usually you'd want

A            @               [Server IP]
CNAME    www          [domain.tld]
CNAME    subdomain [domain.tld]

Did you wait a few hours after setting those?
Do you get a DNS error or an error from your server?

>>61931978
srsly did you reboot it?

>>61931938
Those are server disks, dummy. They are loud because servers are loud as hell and thus little extra noise doesn't matter. Same is true for server switches and other server components /g/ obsesses over. If you want quiet operation then buy consumer stuff like WD Blue or Seagate Barracuda.

>>61932016
Blues don't have anti-vibration compensators or any other fancy shit that actually really helps when you have 6-8 HDDs crammed in one tiny box, and second I got those HGSTs for less than a third of retail price.
>>61932047
It's not just noise but also vibrations. My whole desk is fucking rattling when testing even any single drive, that seems really really bad for a server with a bunch of them.
I have some 2TB and 3TB server WD RE4s and those are some of the quietest drives I've ever seen.

Still I guess if that's expected for them I'll sell them all and save up for some Reds.

That looks like a byte order mark. Are you using notepad to edit the files? Download notepad++ and use it instead, it allows you to encode without BOM.

Instead of buying an SBC such as a Raspberry Pi for a media server / web server, I'm thinking of repurposing an old Asus F201e (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ASUS_Eee_PC_F201E) instead.

Would it be sufficient for streaming using Kodi (or similar) as well as acting a server for a few self hosted applications (with external disk space added)?

So i bought a laptop with a gsync monitor and a i7700hq, and it doesnt have any intel graphics driver, can i enable it?

ftp server
typically they default to the internal storage, which is mostly likely where their stuff is
just tell them to install it, enable it, and how to navigate to it in their file browser (windows explorer for example, directly supports ftp:// addresses)
the trickiest part is probably getting them to find their phone's wifi IP

Update on HGST He6 vibration issue >>61931938
After properly securing 6 drives in a closed case the seek noise became tolerable, but on idle every three seconds heads apparently jump across the drives, producing a very strong vibration. changing APM settings does not afect it. Any way to fix/prevent it other than running array checks 24x7?

This is just going to be a very stupid suggestion, but I've seen it happen countless times. Make sure she has her phone open and unlocked. As in the screen turned on like she is using it while it's plugged in. A lot of phones have a default power saving/ security option That Won't allow the phone to connect it it, is locked. Wireless is a shitty way to transfer things.

Are Pentiums and i3s made from the same wafer? And Celerons?

Alright /g/, I set up a WiFi network and I'm pretty sure someone is accessing it. I could just change the password and be done with it, but I'm curious. If someone is using a phone with the WiFi, is it possible to access what they are using it for? Such as what websites they are visiting, or viewing photos/ videos they are watching it saving?
