Looking to buy a tablet to read books and manga on, also the occasional web browsing. Got my eyes on Lenovo Tab3 A7-10. It's got a 7" screen with resolution of 1024x600. Would this be sufficient to not put strain on my eyes? Anyone with this tablet reccommend it?
Reposting since it didn't get responses the first time:
I was downloading some Twitch VOD [https://www.twitchvods.com/download/] and as usual, after it finishes downloading the video isn't playable for a bit, but if I wait some time and let ffmpeg do its thing, the video will be ready after some minutes (at which point the process is finished, ffmpeg closes and the video is ready).
I started another download after this one, from the same channel, and it worked perfectly as usual, so I don't think it's a problem with any of my software.
It's been many hours and the ffmpeg process is still open, and the video is still unavailable.
I can't redownload it because the video has been removed from the page, and I really need it (it was a guy producing a song in Ableton and he explained a technique I really need to learn).
Is there something I can do?
PS. I'm on Windows 7 BTW.
What is better at cooling? A Zalman 7000 (pic related) or a stock amd cooler from a Kuma era chip? (stock amd's coolers were beefier before). I have both kicking around.
It will replace the tiny stock cooler on a AMD A8-7600 chip.

i haven't pirated a game made post 2010 in forever. instructions said to unrar and mount, but i don't see anything that i can mount? only success i've had was to move everything in the root folder into the launcher folder and then using launcher.exe works but then the game never does so i assumed i'd need to launch Zero Escape.exe after i get the launcher to run, but then i get an error saying the program can't start because MSVCR120.dll is missing and i'm p. sure it's not because i installed microsoft visual c++ redistributable and open al already.
>>55479510
Probably the zalman, looks like it has better surface area.

asking again:
why would one want to use something like MPD for music? as far as i can tell, it's only useful if you want to have multiple people connected to one stream
so what if i don't care about that? why stream to just myself? it seems like it would be a much better solution to just use a regular application that plays the music...
>>55479521
Have you tried checking the comments (if available) on the page you downloaded it from?
When I have problems of this kind, the solution is usually posted there.
Unless it's a problem only I have, in which case I delete the files and go cry myself to sleep.

To the person asking about Nvidia Geforce numbering:
here is how the base numbers work from worst to best:
X50, X60, X70, X80
so the cards ending in 80 are usually the highest end. Sometimes Nvidia adds a suffix of "ti" to some cards which is basically the same version of the card but with a shit ton of more performance.
So looking at the 9XX series we have the 980ti which is better than the 980.
Then, nvidia usually releases a titan card as well that is on par with the X80ti.

if your case doesn't have a window it literally doesn't matter.
>>55479775
who cares? It's going inside your PC.
>>55479752
It has 6 USB 2.0 headers, that should be plenty
If your case uses USB 3.0 you can get an adapter and use the ports in 2.0 mode or get a USB 3.0 PCI card
You can use a fan header splitter to power 2 fans off each header

>>55479788
Not him, but I agree with you to some extent.
My case doesn't have a side window, but if I chose to use Noctuas for my intake fans you would be able to seem them through the ventilated front cover.
If they were a little bit darker of a brown then it probably wouldn't matter, but they're light enough to clash with the black case.
Using the Noctuas for rear exhaust or the CPU heatsink wouldn't matter at all, of course.
First time building a pc got everything planned besides the sound. I probably want speakers headphones seem uncomfortable. I only ever used laptops so idk jack shit about them. What are subwoofers amplifiers bookshelf speakers etc. Should I just get a pair of Logitech Z506 or listen to leddit and get Micca MB42X and an amplifier whatever the fuck that is.

I run some heavy simulations which create and then read ~5 GB files each time. Some days I may write and delete up to 60 GB.
My HDD is slow as shit and the computer takes ages to access those files. So I was thinking about buying a 850 Pro.
Will I destroy it or are SSD nowadays capable of handling that kind of load without dying in less than 5 years?

I've aware there are better alternatives to the default windows task manager, but for now I just wanna get the default fixed.

I always use '20GB/day equals 5 years of lifetime' as a rule of thumb. So with 60GB/day you'll probably get a lot less out of it.

Alright, /g/.
My server is currently frozen, as it's prone to be from time to time. What I know is that there will be no logs that can explain why, because I've checked many times only to find gaps where the log was supposed to be. I've tested the drives, RAM, replaced the PSU, and only the motherboard and/or CPU remain as a possible hardware culprit.

Encrypt your sd card. Throw the laptop in the sewers in a city 5 states away.
Hire a wetback at the local home depot. Give them cash to guy some guerilla clue.
Hire the wetback and take him to a local construction site that has already layed foundation, murder him with a plastic bag, and bury his body. Make sure to burn the plastic bag.
Now dig up a wall/floor in your house/apartment put the sd card in a tiny titanium case, slightly larget then its self.
Put a glob of glue covering it back and front, let it sit, repeat till it is a thich block of resin. Now put this in your wall/floor, not behind it, but inside of it.Now cover it back up, make sure to repaint in the case of a wall and reseal the floor.

So /g/, I installed a new cooler into my computer and ran into a issue to where the computer wouldn't power on. Troubleshooted to find that taking out the GPU would let the computer start. I cleaned it off and placed it back into the computer. Now, the GPU is shutting off under load. When I tried to run FurMark, the computer almost instantly shut off. I don't think it's a motherboard or PSU issue, because I ran some Prime95 stress tests. Should I try and see if it's a driver issue? It's a ASUS GTX-760-DC2. It's around 1-2 years old.

Got a quick question about router extension.
I live in a kind of guest apartment above a garage, and as it is mostly out of range of the house's wifi connection, I set up an extension from the main router (at the time an airport extreme) to an airport express via an ethernet cable. Everything worked perfectly fine until about a month ago, when we switched from Cox to Verizon Fios. The Fios guy installed his router, and I wired it to the Airport Extreme to reconnect the extension.
However, my speeds have slowed down considerably. After a bit of digging, I managed to find the issue: My extender (the express) is connecting to the extreme wirelessly, rather than through the ethernet cable as it had been before. I confirmed this, as the Airport Utility, which used to show two solid connector lines between the internet and the two routers, now shows one solid line (between the internet and the extreme), and a dotted line between the extreme and express, signifying a wireless connection. I've also verified that the main router and the extreme are working as expected (100mbps)
So my question is: Why would this have happened? The Express was able to read the ethernet signal perfectly fine until we switched to Fios, so what would have caused it to become unreadable? The only part of the system that changed (besides the transition to fios) is that the Extreme is now fed from another router, rather than directly from the wall. Any ideas?

You should be able to go in to your file manager and right click on a file, and choose what program you want to open it with,there is also an option to set it as the default for any time you try to open that extension in the future

I came home from vacation to find someone squatting in my house, what can I do about this? I called police but they said unless I can prove ownership of the house they can't do anything, and won't even allow me to enter the house to get proof, and in fact have told me that if I break into it (since the squatter changed the locks while I was gone) I will be the one charged. Is there any other recourse I can get here, or any way I can quickly obtain proof of ownership of the house? I went to city hall but they said it would be 3-4 weeks before they could prepare a deed for me, which means 3-4 weeks of sleeping on a park bench and worrying about this guy destroying all my stuff, not fun.

>>55483639
depends on the size and how much space do you usually use
ive had a 60GB one only for windows and theres a noticeable improvement for most thigns
for gaming you don't get any FPS improvement, and only a slightly faster load time in some cases
it makes no sense to store a huge music or video library on a SSD
maybe a few games that you actually play often does make sense, so they take less time to load
whats a good alternative to the comfortable grip of steelseries rival, but cheaper
How is shipping from NCIXUS and OutletPC?
Recently ordered a HDD from OutletPC and a PSU and some case fans from NCIXUS.

I'm gonna build a gaming computer at some point. Does /g/ recommend windows 10 for new gaming rigs?
I've got the OEM 7 key for my Thinkpad, a spare 7 key and a spare 10 key, from Dreamspark. I've got the 10 key on the laptop, but should I change to the free 7 one and upgrade it to 10, so I can use the other 10 key when I get the new desktop? Or should I just use 7 on everything forever?
>>55483761
Thanks! Mainly I want to keep Windows separate from my other files because I hear it's easier to reinstall it that way. Say I installed a clean version of Windows on a 60 GB SSD (that I was going to use exclusively for the OS), do you think it would ever come to a point where it would run out of space? I guess what I'm asking is whether or not a Windows OS grows in file size over time.

How do I compare graphics cards when computer shopping?
Hard drives, RAM, I get those. Bigger numbers are better. It's easy. But graphics cards, you're comparing the NVIDIA BIGDICK 8000 to the INTEL SCHLONG 450. How do I know which is better and what I need?
>>55483879
Subtract the cost of a blu-ray player from the cost of a PS4. Would you be willing to pay that amount for the standalone game console? There's your answer.
ok so, a program was aking me to install 'babl' when i did ./configure, right.
So 'babl' was taking a long time to find the package, so i decided to just compile it. It compiled successfully, no errors. Yet, the program i'm tryna install says i need to install 'babl'
i did
./configure
make
make install
Did i do something wrong? After installation do i drag the folder somehwhere?
>>55483935
If you're comparing nvidia to intel the nvidia card will pretty much always win.
Comparing nvidia cards with each other is pretty straightforward. refer to this post here >>55479701 for a basic understanding of how the cards work. Usually with each new generation the card offers the same/slightly better performance than the card one level higher of the previous generation (for example 970 is equal to/better than the 780).
AMD's side is also very similar.
They have cards that end in 80, 90, 90x, and then they might continue the Fury line.
As for cross comparison, you'll need to look up actual game benchmarks.

What should I upgrade first here?
I'm really at a loss. The cpu is in need of an upgrade, but the motherboard does not support cpu's with newer architectures. At the same time, because of the cpu I can't run the ram clocked at full speed.
Should I upgrade the mobo first and cpu later or cpu first (my upgrade options will be limited to older architecture) and then the mobo?

So my Sapphire R9 380 isn't working anymore. Was in the middle of a game when my computer restarted itself with no warning and my monitor detected no signal. When I moved the HDMI over to the motherboard and looked at the BIOS it said that the slot where I put the card is empty. Physically looked at the card too and the fans weren't spinning and triple checked that the power was connected. Is my card kill? If it is, an I able to get it replaced?

So I found out that some way or another, My GS4 has corrupted a few files on my microSD card. What's the best way to get rid of these so my backups go smoothly?
>>55485498
Go on the /w/ desktop thread and you'll see why they were exiled.
>>55486959
the most sure way is to back up the good files and format the card
fat32 has no means of knowing what is good or bad data, so no matter what you do (besides formatting), you won't be sure there's no corruption left

jquery is a javascript library that adds some helper methods.
most of them aren't needed anymore since browsers can do everything natively now.
nodejs runs javascript without a browser. you can use it as a server side language this way.
Hey anons, whats a nice calendar-based software i can use (not google cancer pls) to share shit with ma peers but have it be protected...
/g/ I was organizing my cords & cables & shit. I moved my powerstrip which as all my desktop computer related things plugged into it.
Suddenly the colors on my monitor changed alot.
Everything became kinda blue & the colors in general were just wrong. After jiggling it around a bit the colors eventually popped back to normal.
Is this a problem with my powerstrip or my monitor or some cable?
If it is my monitor, can you suggest a replacement? From amazon? I only have about 200 dollars extra at the moment, so nothing too expensive.

When torrenting, do my ISP get notified when I download or when I seed? Recently I got an message from them saying I was violating copyright protection blah blah blah so was wondering what causes it since years before I torrented like mad and they never said shit.

Gonna need to torrent textbooks for upcoming lectures and fuck paying tons of money for them school is already fucking me over with money.

Try a different wall socket, powerstrip and cable. At different times. This identify the problem part.
>>55488005
they see all the traffic that you are making, so both down/up. most likely they've noticed that you make unusually more traffic so they looked further into it and saw that you were using torrents. it's common.
>>55488191
Weird because like I said I've torrented with them for years before and only now they said something. Was it because I momentarily switched ISPs to Verizon? Fuck guess I better look into VPNs, though I don't have the spare cash for it.
