I fucked up, dont laugh

my 14.04 ubuntu was messed up, reinstalled it, but accidentally encrypted or something... long story short my hard disk got formatted and i didnt know, so i upgraded to 16.04 but that was making me go into grub rescue mode so i booted 14.04 from cd and cleared my whole disk again from gparted. Then i took out an old windows 7 cd from 2009 and installed windows 7

anyway, should i upgrade to windows 10 or keep windows 7? i mainly use my computer for gaming. I dont play new games so w7 should run anything i wanna play.

Or should i try to reinstall 16.04

I switched to Linux a few months ago. Been going through programming tutorials compiling with mingw32, was no problem on windows up until now where I wrote a test program that didn't run well in a vm. So I checked wine and wit worked better. Thought I'd ditch the VM and just cross-compile from now on.
So I just installed the mingw32 toolchain for linux and it I can compile with
/opt/mingw64/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc source.cpp -o exe

just fine. But I can't figure out how to use old and trusted mingw32-make with with this setup.

Can anyone help?

I'm going to dual boot Windows 7 and Debian with two SSDs. Do I need to do anything special, or just put Windows on one, then Debian on the other?

Also, anything I should do as far as fucking with swap sizes or anything? I'll have a 250GB SSD and a 1TB HDD for each OS(so 4 drives), what's the best way to set that up so that each can access the others drive, and so everything is mounted somewhere good in Linux?

I suggest you a very simple way to make things up. Go ahead and install windows 7 and disable updates. Download wubi installer for Ubuntu LTS and run it. After restarting, Ubuntu's installation will complete in about 10 mins. You can update Ubuntu using
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
.


Then you have it. Windows and ubantoo.

My work requires us to change passwords every 3 months, when changed, it won't allow incremental password changes, such as password1 to password2.

Does the password change form require you to put in the old password? If it does it could just check the hash to see its the correct password when changing it and then compare it to the new one without storing it.

But they probably are storing them in plaintext
>>
>>55041466
Yeah I am pretty sure they are unencrypted. Even if they are encrypted, the way that they check incremental changes could be pretty much flawed.
>>
>>55041466
they could just save the numbers and check if the new password has any numbers that are incremented by one from the old.

you'll never know without knowing the system behind it, but it's possible that they just save it in plaintext.

Can Americans actually buy a phone without cucking themselves with a contract?
>>
>>55042080
Yes. We've always been able to, it's that carriers used to charge you just as much monthly no matter if you bought your phone outright or not, so you'd be stupid not to get one subsidized from the carrier. Nowadays, more and more carriers have stopped subsidizing phones, lowered their plan rates, and you pay for your phone independently with the option of paying for it in monthly installments.
>>
>>55042080
Yes you can buy the phone from the store for full retail price ($500-1000+), order one from an online retailer, or finance one (for 0% interest) with a prepaid plan.

This is the exact reason I told you to use wubi. See if you had used wubi, windows bootloader would start at the beginning to chose windows 7 or Ubuntu.

Since you seem like a beginner, troubleshooting with grub might be daunting.

But for the fuck of it, since you installed anyway, tell me your pc specs. Especially GPU in your case. Also does windows boot fine from grub? An screenshot/picture from cam of grub screen would be nice.


>>55042680
Linux uses ext, ext4 and such. Windows explorer for some shit ass reason doesn't show the drives formatted with such types. Windows shows only the disks with fat, NTFS and the like.

Sup /g/

I recently completed my first build, and I'm having some issues with the wireless adapter. I've tried all of the basic fixes I could, but I'm unable to establish a consistent connection.

I don't get "disconnected" completely from my wireless, but the rate bottoms out and I'm unable to do anything, and I subsequently get booted form any game/website that I'm on. Things I've tried:

-flushing DNS
-moving the adapter to a different PCI slot
-adjusting the antennas on the adapter
-removing the antennas on the adapter
-fidgeting with most of the wireless settings through windows

When I go into the software that came with the adapter, it will list the signal strength as "good" or "excellent", but the rate will fluctuate from 38-52Mbps, and then drop to 1Mbps (at which point I have no connection).

I've had two different computers sit at this desk in the past, with little to no connection issues. Here's what I'm working it-

I have had the creatives for years, and got some piston 3s a month or two ago.

They are both good, but I usually listen to my piston 3s more.

Learn me up about M.2 SSD's. I'm putting together a new rig soon and I'm thinking about using an M.2 SSD, but from what I've read they block the use of a lot of SATA ports, and from what I've gathered, will only leave me with 2 6gb/s ports and 2 shitty slow ones. Is this true, and is it really worth it at that point?

The centre wall of the house is very thick and blocks 90% of wifi, I already use ethernet homeplugs, If I add a wifi access point plug do I just give it the same SSID and password as my router and devices use the strongest signal, or does the wireless ID have to be different?

Okay, so I just got a new ASUS Mobo (The ROG Maximus VIII Hero) and Fractal Design's Kelvin S36.
The mobo has 2 cpu fan connections, as well as one for a pump. I hooked up the pump to the cpu connection point, but where do I connect the 4-pin PWM for the fans?
Should they be connected to the cpu fan connections, or just and fan connection?
I'm curious, since I placed the cooler in the front of the case.
>>
>>55044667
If the fan is cooling the CPU you should plug it into the CPU fan connector

I'm trying to set up a Linux-based router for my home network. I have a Raspberry Pi with integrated WiFi and Ethernet and a USB-to-Ethernet adapter, so I got one interface for WAN and two interfaces for LAN.

I've managed to get either Ethernet or WiFi to work at a time by fucking around in /etc/network/interfaces and with the "ip" tool. However, I've never managed to get WAN access on both WiFI and LAN. When I reboot the Pi, it seems that the interface that gets initialized first gets the connection, usually Ethernet.

Is there something I'm missing? Some obscure setting in a hidden config file? Should I use bridging? Pls halp.
>>
>>55044691
I suppose that makes sense.
I'm a bit confused, since the instructions for the cooler says to plug in the fans to and fan connection close to the 24-pin, and the pump to the cpu fan connection. But that assumes that there's no specific fan connection on the mobo.
>>
>>55044692

The speed of fans on the CPU slot depend on the temperature of the CPU. Chassis fans go at a constant RPM unless told otherwise. I highly recommend you connect it to the CPU slot.

The holes are already there. They're the holes that the stock intel cooler snap into, you just put these socket type things over them and then screw the bolts in from the other side.

The only reason would be if you like the material design of windows 10, but it's inconsistent as hell.

It's not just apple, a lot of consumer tech companies are doing this now.

Basically, durable cables with good strain relief don't sell as well because they're heavy, don't bend easily, and don't look nice (they use PVC or something instead of the rubberized stuff used by apple, etc).

TLDR companies make "sexy" cables instead of durable ones because that's what sells
