I've literally never overclocked by hand, so can I just trust an "auto-overclocker" like that? Or should I go back and read some guides and check the settings by hand?

Currently have an iPhone 6. Not excited by anything Apple has done on the cell phone front in a long while, and have no interest in the new shit they're coming out with for a million dollars. I'd like to give Android a shot again (last time I tried was Samsung Galaxy S2, which was not great imo).

What are my options for something easily rootable and doesn't come preloaded with a bunch of touchwiz garbage or the like? I'd like something with a large screen (5"+) as well.

I hear Google Pixel XL or OnePlus 5 are good choices. Advice please?

Where I work they have guest wifi that employees are not supposed to use.

Supposedly if they see any traffic coming through they can know how did it. Would using a vpn allow me to use their wifi without getting caught?

why are a lot of problems actually fixed by turning it off and on again, or restarting the program that's not working properly?

>>62353573
it doesn't adress the actual problem (memory leaks or whatever), it's just a temporary solution.

>>62353763
I don't know if it will fuck up my tower with the power strip right next to it.

>>62353573
Because most things start out in a safestate with no critical errors. An error can be seen as a violation of good state, so restarting restores the state and "fixes" the error (temporarily at least). This isn't generally the case for hardware, but it is the case for software outside of rare cases. For example, there are games where you can trigger a softlock and then save your progress with the bad state, which would permanently ruin that save file. Infamous example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkB53h2M5Pw

>>62353663
std is the namespace. It's so you can scope names of things like functions. Say you wanted to make your own cout function. How would you call it and differentiate it from std::cout? Namespaces.

The way to use cout without std:: is to write "using namespace std" at the top of your program which basically tells the compiler that when you use cout, you really mean std::cout. This is bad practice because you're polluting your global namespace.

Retarded. Find me one person who didn't drink alcohol before they tried heroin. Of course you could say, well they probably did a lot of things before trying heroin, you can't say it's causative. Which is why the gateway drug thing is BS in the first place.

>>62354062

>>62354260
I'm not. I'm using the same logic used to designate weed a gateway drug to alcohol, to expose why the whole concept is retarded in the first place.

>>62352449
Seriously guys. I've never overclocked before, and I want to know if having good temps and passing a prime95 torture test (say 24h) is enough to assume the automatic settings are good, or if it's possible they could fuck something up in the long run or be non-optimal and reduce the chip's life expectancy with idiotic settings or something.

Anyone know how to get line spacing in SumatraPDF? Trying to read an epub but there's no spacing at all which makes it look cluttered and difficult to read.

If it can't have line spacing then does anyone know another pdf, epub, cbz etc. reader that's also lightweight?

Why is the Wikipedia page for "Girl" full of naked women? It's not porn (though #6 is hot), but it's just weird to put right at the top of the page like that. The "woman" page has naked artwork, which isn't as dumb but still pointless. ("Boy" and "Man" pages don't have nudity)

>>62354956
The internet has always been dominated by men, men want to see naked women.Men do not want to see naked men

>>62354592
Use x264 or something. Prime95 is just too brutal for extended testing. No point since you'll never see loads that high unless you regularly use AVX instructions. Use it for short periods (10-15 mins) to see what your max temps are and to expose any obvious instabilities. And leaving it for 24 hrs without monitoring it is dumb.

No you can't assume automatic settings are good. Make sure your vcore isnt stupidly high since auto settings often overvolt.

So /home partition is similar to Windows where they keep pictures/music/etc right?

Do I need to create a separate /home partition at all? Say I have another HDD too, can't I just put stuff there and it's fine?

Not sure if I understood this correctly. Trying to install linux first time.

>>62355206
That's correct. Except I don't think it's a partition by default. Unless you specifically want to separate it, all the directories should be on one partition IIRC.

How hard is it to do PCI passthrough with just one graphics card?

This is somewhat technology related, or at least I don't know a better board for this. Why the fuck are prescription glasses so expensive? I'm at about -5.0 with a -0.5 cylinder on each eye, and I'm struggling to find a place near me (belgium) where I can get a decent pair for cheapish. I'd like to get two or three pairs, maybe some sunglasses, just so I can switch it up once in a while and not be stuck with the kind of boring black frames I've been wearing for the last decade and a half. But at around 300-400 euro a pair I'm pretty much shoehorned into getting some boring and basic but that goes with everything.

>>62355074
What's a good vcore? OpenHardwareMonitor says 0.68V, CPU-Z says 1.36V, CoreTemp says 1.475V. I'm currently at 4.4GHz, on an i5-6600k

>>62355686
Oh and checking the BIOS it's set to "Auto" with no indication of the actual level.

>>62355686
Use hwinfo for the most accurate readings.

Also, do you have speedstep on? If so, your vcore will fluctuate, so you want to measure it under load.

Max vcore according to intel datasheets is 1.52V. Obviously you don't wanna go anywhere near there since that's absolute max and your temps will be too high anyways. 1.35 - 1.4 V is okay for longevity. 1.475 is definitely way too high if that reading is accurate.

I tried Custom Resolution Utility to make a custom refresh rate but it didn't work, didn't see the prerequisite that it only works with AMD/Nvidia gpus and a select few intel igpus. I have a laptop with a 3210M w/ hd 4000 graphics, is it at all possible to make a custom resolution or am I shit out of luck?

I just want to stop dropping frames in mpv

>>62355744
Auto means it overclocks via the VID. That's a number the processor requests by determining is the voltage it needs at any given moment. This can often result in overvolting, especially if you're using high LLC settings. Most people, if overclocking that way, will use a lower LLC setting and then use a voltage offset to get their vcore where they need it. This is better than manual vcore because you can use speedstep and C states to downlock your CPU under load. It's a bit more finicky to tune correctly, though, since VID changes based on clock speed.

>>62352929

How often do new processors come out, and how much different is the new iteration? Same question for graphics cards.

>>62355896
Intel innovates every 6 months to a year. Difference is massive increases in performance and the privilege of buying the latest mobo chipset.

>>62355791
By LLC I assume you mean load-line calibration? Sorry, like I said I am a total noob and that's the setting that best matches the acronym. If so, it was auto-set to Level 5, which according to the diagram in the half-engrish bios tooltip is the lowest.
How would I go about tuning an offset?

>>62355757
I do have speedstep on, and all those values were under full load (p95). I'm gonna try hwinfo now

>>62355965
Yeah that's what LLC is.

Usually higher levels mean more LLC. In case you're not aware, under load your vcore will normally go down a bit. This is called vdroop, and it can result in instability when OCing. LLC compensates for this by boosting voltage at load a bit. You can see how when combined with auto voltage that already tends to overvolt, it makes the problem worse.

Check your manual, typically higher LLC levels mean more LLC. You can also just test it yourself by checking what your vcore is under load with LLC at level 5 and 0.

As for offsets it should be called adaptive or dynamic voltage depending on your mobo. Again, check your manual. Most likely you can change vcore from auto to dynamic and it'll have a box where you can enter an offset.

Yeah hwinfo is reporting 1.475V, fug.

>>62356069
Alright so I switched LLC from level 5 all the way to level 1 (it goes only from 1 to 5), re-started prime95 and hwinfo, and got a radically different 1.470V.
Pic related seems to confirm that 5 is the correct level then.

Anyway, can you recommend me a good guide to OCing? It's clear that the automatic setting won't cut it. So since I have no idea what I'm doing, instead of floundering around trying to patch up the voltage by leeching off /sqt/, I might as well get to understand what the fuck this all actually means and do it properly.

>>62356069
kek, yeah dude, turn off that shit immediately. That's so close to the danger zone.

Like I said, your processor generates a number called a VID which is how much voltage it thinks it needs to maintain stable. This is done dynamically according to load and clock frequency, and some other magical factors. When you set your vcore to auto, this is the number used as a basis for what voltage the mobo will send to your CPU.

An offset allows you to add/subtract voltage from this number.

Best way to do this in my experience:
Set LLC to low (pretty sure it's high rn based on that ridiculous vcore).
Boot and check your vcore under load. If it's good, check stability. Not stable? Add a positive offset to increase vcore a bit. Rinse, repeat.

It's also possible to use negative offsets but I would advise against those since in my experience it drops idle voltages too low and you'll get instability when the CPU is downclocked.

>>62356182
Oh, btw, update your BIOS. A lot of Skylake boards overvolted out of the box. Mine did for example, and it limited my max OC until they fixed it.

>>62356223
One more thing, did you check your vcore reading in BIOS? Just to rule out issues with your monitoring software.

>>62356182
Ah, thanks for the offset explanation, that helps a lot.

Since LLC did jack shit, what do now? Although first I'll try updating the bios like you said.

I didn't, but it wouldn't be under load anyway, so it doesn't sound like it would be useful

>>62352172
How much money do you think guv'ment makes from alcohol? Answer your question?

>>62356285
>>62356263

True, although you could just turn off speedstep/c states temporarily. If your vcore is still too high under load after the BIOS update, play with negative offsets. Just be sure to check idle stability (basically just leave your computer sitting and see if it crashes).

>>62356307
Oh, also, you can see VID in hwinfo under the processor section, so I'd be curious to know what that is under load compared to actual vcore.

Okay, so I updated the BIOS which restored all settings to default. Then all I did was enable the auto-OC and didn't touch any other settings. At 4.4GHz, full Prime95 load, my vcore peaked at 1.360V, generally seeming to hover around 1.33-1.34V.

Does that mean I'm basically good to go?

Awesome, thanks for all your advice. Seems to be hovering around 57*C and 1.31vcore. I'll leave it overnight as recommended, but I did do about 5 hours of prime95 earlier so I'm pretty confident it will be fine.

4.4GHz doesn't sound like a lot but for babby's first overclock I'm quite satisfied. I'll probably go back and push it further manually. I also need to OC my DDR4.

Here's a question more suited to the spirit of the thread: can constantly (i.e. every 5-10 seconds) raising and lowering fan speed over several hours (overnight) do any harm? The 57-59*C it's hovering at happens to fall on a kink on 5-vertex the fan "curve" I set up, so every time it runs slightly hotter the fans spin up (to about 1900RPM) and then when it drops back a few degrees the fans spin back down (to 1400 or so).

I bought an SSD off Amazon the other day with same day shipping. It didn't come for 3 days and I complained to Amazon and they sent me a replacement.

Suddenly though, like 20 minutes ago, the shit shipping company that I was pretty confident would not fucking deliver decided to deliver the original package. So I have my SSD now and I have a second SSD coming in the mail that I did not pay for.

Will I get in trouble? I mean, do I just say nothing?

>>62358470
They sent it expecting you to send the other one back.

>>62358618
Amazon has so much money that they can afford to do shit like this to make everyone as happy as possible.

If they sent it with their same-day shipping method, whatever logistics they've got are reliable enough that if it hasn't arrived in 3 days, that means something went very wrong. So it's not unreasonable to send out a replacement.

Well, you be the judge.

>>62358697
You want to cannibalize a fucking tact switch? You can buy them for pennies.

Any kind of low profile button probably has a tact switch underneath. They're very common.

>>62358705
This seems like it'd be easily abuseable.

>>62358723
like maybe a tv remote?

>>62358737
No probably not. That's most likely a capacitive rubber dome switch like a membrane keyboard. Tact switches are clicky (tact -> tactile).

You can use a regular switch if you're really that much of a cheap ass, you just have to complete a circuit.

Or you could just go to an electronics store like a normal person and buy a few switches for $2.

>>62358715
They're alright. I have one in one of my laptops and it feels pretty snappy, no problems for like a year. I bought a cheap Thinkpad the other day and I wanted a cheap SSD to just throw in there that wasn't like, 60GB or some shit. If I feel like it I'll get a better one but they're usually fine.

>>62358749
i don't like leaving the house or waiting. do you think i could break off one of the other buttons on the monitor?

>>62358789
Honestly, if you were any good at soldering and diy, you'd know the answer is yes. You sound like you're too dumb and or inexperienced to pull this off.

>>62358579
Thanks.

It's a script to download files from chomikuj

>>62358814
sounds like elitism. i don't solder or know what kind of switch that is.

>>62358731
I imagine Amazon would catch on after like, the third time.

>>62358840
Then you can't fix it. Say you "break off the switch". If you somehow don't fuck up your monitor, what are you gonna do, glue it back on?

If you ask how to fix your car engine, and it turns out you don't know what a sparkplug is, is it elitism for me to claim there's no chance in hell you're fixing your car?

>>62358861
btw, I gave you a "non elitist" option. Bridge the two contacts where the button would go with a screwdriver.

>>62360307
"Defragmenting" doesn't mean anything to an SSD. It's a literal non-concept. The OS doesn't even see where files are, and their location is fluid. If you make partitions, they don't represent actual locations, and don't have any impact on where a given file goes. As long as trim is working and the drive isn't over-full, you're good.

For most day to day uses tor etc create more problems than they solve. Just use your ISPs default dns. They see everything you do anyway, and they're usually the fastest. Blockchain is a list of transactions that exists on computers around the world who are rewarded for maintaining a copy. It doesn't have to be a money transaction, just some kind of change. So you could have an independent social network or something on it. A lot of shit could be blockchain based in the future.

Hey guys, can anyone point out the mpci e port on this motherboard? I think its what I circled, but I want to be sure before I cut the hole

I'm at my wits' end. I consider myself a decent programmer but whener it comes down to software engineering I never understand shit. Engineers at work talk about patterns I never heard of, and when I look them up the explanation always seems abstract as fuck and I'm not sure what to do to implement it. I looked up some software engineering resources but it's always the same problem, they use abstract words like "request", "module" and "service" but don't use those words in the context of a practical implementation so it feels like they lose meaning.

Is there like a beginner's guide for knuckleheads or something ? I want a more varied repertoire of patterns but I'm not very good with abstractions

No, they're definitely working their buns off to try and outdo each other. We're actually running up against a wall though. There's a theoretical limit to what you can get out of the current architecture, and until we figure out something radically different we're going to see decreased returns over time.

Hey fellas, I'm looking to buy a new laptop for travel.
Things I'm looking for in it are high build quality, a decent (1080p) panel, probably 15-17 inch display, a nice keyboard and hardware that will be able to handle browsing without giving me much lag or freezing. Good build quality is a must though, something similar to a macbook but with windows, and relatively cheap if possible. Don't really care about gayming. Anyone know anything that fits this criteria?

explain to me why i should give a fuck about companies selling my messages to people? just saw someone complaining about Discord selling messages to any businesses interested in finding out what kinds of things people want to buy.
basically all i do is complain about shitty consumer goods and shitty entertainment media and blog about my ideals.

In Aegisub, how can I create a multipart line like this? Obviously I could manually shift separate lines to the desired position to create the effect, but there is surely an easier way.

I'm getting mail errors but have no idea where they come from, anyone who can help me track them? Here's what I know:

- CRON runs a process at time X
- 35 minutes later, a sendmail error caused by CRON appears in syslog (it could be that process completes then)

Sep 11 *** *** cron[769]: sendmail: recipient address root not accepted by the server
Sep 11 *** *** cron[769]: sendmail: server message: 553 5.1.2 The recipient address <root> is not a valid RFC-5321 address. ***.** - gsmtp

- CRON is configured to send e-mails using MAILTO:<address> on the first line, and for most commands this works fine

What I don't know:
- Can I somehow retrieve the contents of a failed e-mail from sendmail?
- Can I somehow track the process/command invoked by cron that generated the e-mail?

I think a better, far less extreme example is gay marriage. Suppose it's 2008 and you privately expressed support for "traditional" marriage only (like HRC and Obama did). 6 years later, you may have different views, but someone could come along and produce your chat log that comes off as super-bigoted today. It's one thing if you published your views on your own blog, but no, you said it only to some internet buddies. With no autonomy over your communication privacy, something like this can happen.

It's doable, but it's pushing it a bit. If you're someone who cares about "future proofing" at all, its not ideal. It's the difference between ultra on a lot of games, and maybe scaling things back here and there. For productivity it's totally worth it. For everything else, I'd say it depends on how big your screen will be and whether the games you'll be playing benefit from it.

It could be that your behind a CGNAT, in which case you will not be able to port forward without paying for a static IP address.

Who is your ISP? And I assume you're on fibre since your using a ONT router.

Ok, So I have been reading how PCH replaced NB/SB architecture, but I don't quite get how EC (embedded controller) fits into this picture. Wasn't PCH supposed to take over the south bridge functionality and do those tasks? Why is there a separate EC chip?

>>62364947
>but still I can't ping my IP
scan ur WAN for those ports using any online port scanner to confirm, if u haven't.
you pinging your WAN address i hope
that's usually not forwarding but labeled as 'ICMP echo' or some crap like that, or simply the 'Firewall' of the device.
don't use ping as an indication, you use telnet <ip> <port> for that.
Don't use upnp please

in external try 255.255.255.255, maybe it'll accept it as 'any address'
source ( 7777 - 7777) should be ur PC listening on them, netstat -noa to confirm that its listening
ext should be empty.
apply and reboot.

What's the easiest way to install the new versions of my Firefox addons?

>>62362487
Yeah just install from fdroid, then you have to tap the headphones icon instead of the play icon on a video - this will play it sound-only and will continue after the screen locks

How do win10 licences work?

Can I reinstall a non-oem win10 on a new PC without calling MS or any other troublesome steps? (it'll be on only 1 machine at time)

Googled my ISP + CGNAT and that's exactly it. This really sucks but I guess there's nothing I can do about it.. Thanks for the help anyway guys.

what is this shit
why do these keep appearing
6 of these were intsalled on september 1st this year, i don't remember installing any of these.

and how do i get rid of them quickly, e.g. not one by one manually

>>62365341
Thanks man, the second link worked

OK this one is really stupid, but bear with me please.

Assuming I have no software installed, what regulates the temps and fans for the CPU? BIOS/UEFI? Because my motherboard doesn't yet have a sensor support for Linux and I'm a little worried the chip is going to overheat when crunching BOINC tasks 24/7.

>>62365400
They get installed with vidya because vidya need the exact version or something. Its retarded.

>>62365392
Sucks >:
>>62365437
BIOS, you could set a audible warning @ 70-80-90C usually.

I use YouTube every now and then to watch videos. They have now forced their new shitty layout on me. I have my browser set to clear every piece of data when it closes. This means that if I restore the old layout, I will have to through the same fucking process every time I visit YouTube after closing the browser. How the fuck do I avoid this?

>>62365484
Alright, hopefully nothing to worry about then, it was stable running prime95 in Windows.

My PC froze multiple times today, probably because folding@home automatically adding all 12 CPU cores to compute with while BOINC was also running them (I don't know why, I specifically disabled CPU in folding), should I worry? Could something happen to the chip? It froze like 5 times before I figured out what's going on, and was frozen overnight...

I'm not an expert on this kind of stuff, but providing a laptop model could help a lot.

I just dropped my phone and the screen cracked but its working perfectly fine. What can i do to fix it?

>>62365587
if it works fine, then nothing. maybe a screen protector to stop further damage.
or bring it into an Authorized apple™ repair center™

several ISP emails about torrenting and i just "upgraded" to Win10. what the hell? this isn't a coincidence, is it? either way i'm done.

Currently I'm using 2 8GB ram sticks.
Can I safely add another one, provided its the same as the other 2?
Asking because I remember reading about ram stick should only be used in mutiples of 2.

I have 3 6TB's in RAID 5 but am planning for 5 6TBs in RAID 6...

or should I get 2 10TB's (and waste some space since only 6TB will be used in each)?

So then as I slowly replace the 6TB drives, eventually I will have 5 10TB drives???

>or should I do 8TB drives since 10TB has extra price premium $/space

Welcome to 2017. What a beautiful time to be alive.

>>62365973
I think its mainly important the RAM matches if they are on the same channel.

SO RAM 1 & 3 match, and RAM 2 & 4 match, assuming you have 4 slots. (I believe all mobos alternate like this but check manual).

However, I think its possible if some thing is assigned memory space that goes across the channels, it will really only run as fast as the slowest ram stick.

Like as if you had two hard drives that dont match, put them in RAID 0, your performance is hampered by the slowest one.

So really, just make them all match if you can.

>>62365878
Yeah, it's probably a coincidence. A lot of unsubstantiated rumors have gone around ever since 10 came out. Not that microsoft isn't ass, just this isn't the sort of thing they're likely to bother with. Just get a VPN or Seedbox.

I'm looking for a motherboard I could use with an i7-2700k.
I just need to make sure it's motherboard with DDR3 and a 1155 Socket, right ?
Or is there something else I need to careful about ?

>>62366303
It should have "gaming" slapped on it with bright colors and LEDs. Then you know it's a good quality motherboard.

>>62366178
yeah i'm probably reading too into things. it probably is a coincidence. still, whew

It's all downhill from there. Nothing in webext has access to localstorage yet.

Could someone point me toward the POSReady 2009 .iso?

Why doesn't firefox let me redirect the newtab page to browser.startup.homepage.

I just want to use a local file as a home and newtab page without having to fuck around. Something this simple shouldn't be so hard.

Can chrome do this, because I will abandon ship if it can.

Deprecated since firefox 41 (released in 2015).
There is an addon called New Tab Override but you cannot load local files with it. You can upload an html file into the localstorage of the extension to load that, but it won't load css or images in the directory of the html.
