Put your stupid tech questions here so you don't shit up the board.
>>55576740
Not really, unless you've fucked up the cable management.
Can you just cut cables off a power supply if you don't need them? I can confidently say I will never use a molex connector, yet my PSU has four of them that I have to shove down the side of the case.
Quick question:
I use an old laptop for downloading. Whenever I connect an external HDD via USB when I want to transfer files it sometimes shows an error 'This device can perform faster'. I'm pretty sure this is an error since it only happens occasionally and works fine most of the time. Then a message pops up saying I need to format said HDD before using it. I've been using the HDD for a while already and it's still fairly new, 10 months old and I don't want to damage it. I always unplug it when this happens since I don't want to format the drive since it's already working and I'm pretty sure the USB port is the problem.
My question is since my laptop doesn't have the 'safely remove hardware' when this happens and I unplug the HDD is there a chance that it will break or corrupt it? How do I safely remove it when this happens?
>>55577390
I wouldn't suggest it, just coil them up and fixate them with cable fixer.
Next time buy a modular PSU.
What language is this on her screen? Maybe someone recognizes the structure.
>>55577474
'This device can perform faster' Usually comes up when you have more than one speed usb port on your system. Like if you have 3.0 ports and 2.0 ones, and you attach a 3.0 capable drive to one of the slower ones, it's letting you know you might have better results when you move it. Is 'safely remove hardware' available for flash drives?
on android does using something like poweramp use more battery than the stock player that comes with the phone? (xiaomeme in my case with poweramp pro)
What are some /g/ approved alternatives to peerblock?
>>55577504
it's a rails view
>>55577522
The thing is I plugged it into the same USB port for a while now and it only happens on occasion. Sometimes the error shows up and sometimes it doesn't. I'm sure my USB ports aren't jumping from 2.0 to 3.0
>>55577553
None. Peerblock is placebo. Get actual security
>>55577562
OS? Is 'safely remove hardware' available for flash drives?
>>55577350
I've got everything tied in place with tons of wire ties to the point where the wires wont move at all
>>55577659
I'm not sure why you're asking then. It sounds like you've got a much better idea of your setup than we do.
>>55577659
Is it a modular or non-modular PSU?
>>55577649
Win7
I'm not using a flash drive, it's an HDD but no, the safely remove hardware isn't available. The external HDD doesn't show up in My Computer.
>>55577390
>Can you just cut cables off a power supply if you don't need them?
A bad idea. A current still runs through those cut off cables. Get a fucking modular PSU.
>>55577744
Right, I mean if you do connect a flash drive, does IT get a Is 'safely remove hardware' message? And when was the last time you were able to access the contents of the HDD? Does it not show up in my computer right now?
>>55577818
If I connect a flash drive the 'safely remove hardware' message shows up.
If I connect a flash drive and the 'this device can perform faster' message shoes up then the 'safely remove hardware' message does not shows up.
If I connect an HDD the 'safely remove hardware' message shows up.
If I connect an HDD and the 'this device can perform faster' and 'this needs to be formated before use' message shows up then the 'safely remove hardware' message does not shows up.
The last time I was able to access my HDD it was working fine. As I said, the error shows up sometimes, not all the time and whenever it does show up I unplug it and plug it back in, the same port mind you, and it works fine afterwards.
The HDD shows up fine in My Computer if it's working properly, it does not show up when the error messages show up.
What happened to the desktop rice general?
A somewhat theoretical question about thermal wear/damage and GPU arrangements.
I have two GPUs rated for 150 W. For a while they set one above the other in an open upright case (CM 690 II) mining shitcoins most the time. Their temps were never exceeded the suggested. Has the mining (theoretically) reduced the top GPU's lifetime by significantly more the bottom one's because of the heat rising from the bottom GPU?

Hi /g/
I need to disable onboard graphics. Everything I've read says the option is in BIOS but I can't find it. Pic related is the integrated peripherals menu. It should be here I think, but it doesn't look like it is. Can supply more pics of the bios menus if needed.

If you are on Windows, then you can just turn it off in the device manager.
>>55577884
Try going into power options in the control panel.
change plan settings
then click change advanced
expand usb and check that Usb selective suspend is disabled.
I would also consider downloading the drivers for your usb controller and reinstalling them.
And if your device shows up anywhere you should have the option to right click and eject, which is better than nothing.
just got home today and now my computer has sound distortion in and out of games, as well as massive fps drops.
all drivers are up to date any ideas as to why its doing this?
What's the general rule for const-ness of functions that don't manipulate the state of an object but manipulate resources owned by it? For example, a Texture object might have a function SetValues(data* data) that doesn't manipulate the object itself but does change data managed by OpenGL.

Every day the Ubuntu software updater says I have over 200mb of updates to install
I click install, it tells me some packages are from unauthenticated sources, I click ok, but then it just goes away seemingly without downloading anything. When I try to manually open software updater it says "Failed to download repository information, please check your internet connection"
Surely there's a way to just install these updates from the terminal and cut out this software that's apparently not even downloading the updates, right?

Let's see, would you want a const function to change some value?
I have two 7950s in two different PCs one I am not using right now. Now I am wondering if I crossfire will this boost performance and by how much?

>>55578082
I looked in the device manager and it wasn't there. I think I may have already disabled it there a couple days ago, I don't remember.
My problem is that I got a new GPU and am having troubles on startup.
When its in the computer and connected to the monitor the startup screen shows and I can't enter bios or anything. It then goes to a black screen with a blinking white dash at the top left.
When the GPUs in the computer but the monitor is connected to the onboard graphics nothing comes up on the monitor and there are three repeating beeps.
Everything works normally when the card is out however.
I have been trying what I've found online, I updated bios, reseated the ram, uninstalled the Intel graphics drivers. I even bought a better PSU. I'm beginning to think there's a problem with the card itself.
So I've implemented DMARC not to long ago and I just received a report containing the IP address of my webserver, which uses the email server to relay emails.

Your bios doesn't have a disable onboard option. The onboard gpu will always be listed in device manager, just with a yellow exclamation mark icon. But that doesn't sound like your problem.
I would switch back to using your onboard, uninstall any drivers for your new graphics card, then put it back in.

my friend said his pc wont boot, dont know too much about the situation though. cant look at the pc, so this is all i have to go off of:
it just gives a blinking underscore when he tries to boot it, yet if he goes to the boot menu and manually selects his ssd to boot from, it works fine. Is the pc just not reading the ssd or something?

It's likely that his boot priorities were changed to boot from something that isn't bootable. Tell him to move the SSD to the top of the boot priorities list.
I once had an issue where my PC was trying to boot from the flash memory of my mouse.
>>55578691
i7 6700.
Has hyperthreading, otherwise they're about the same. Hyperthreading is bueno.
>>55578649
Sounds like maybe he has another boot device set higher than the SSD? Maybe a USB drive, DVD drive, or even maybe another harddrive.
Anyone know anything about sound cards? I think my integrated sound card is going out, but I don't want to replace the motherboard since everything else on it still works fine. How much would it cost me to buy one that is on par with my integrated one? Are internal sound cards any good?

Pretty much any sound card is fine at this point. The technology is pretty advanced. Something cheap by creative would work. You could use a USB DAC instead if you wanted.
Should I bother with AVG/Norton/Kaspersky anymore?
>>55578855
Are externals generally better? I heard that externals were much more pricy if you want to get a decent one. I would probably need a PCI expansion if I got an internal one.

The reference cards had power draw issues which have since been fixed by driver updates. In addition, reference models shipped with a single 6 pin connector, which exacerbated the power draw issues - aftermarket cards will include an 8 pin connector.

You don't understand, i was getting shit speeds compared to my phone but i moved my pc closer to the router and started getting great speeds and then moved it back to where it was before and the speeds stayed great. Was just wondering if it was normal? I'm not complaining
>>55578883
The idea is that things right on the mobo get the most electrical interference, pci cards are better isolated, and external is the best. That;s also why they tend to recommend plugging into the back over the front. In practice it doesn't matter most of the time. If you don't hear hissing it's a non issue, and if that wasn't the problem with your onboard you should be fine with just adding a card. Go with whatever's cheapest. I don't know what you'll think of a cheap dac, but bear in mind they're usually rated by people looking to EXCEED onboard quality.

I think that voltage setting might have fried the mobo, so nothing connected to it turns on. How bad do you think the damage is? Is CPU also probably fried? Just asking because I'd like to know what to replace. Also, if I replaced mobo, and tried to restart and it turned out the CPU was dead, would trying to restart with a broken CPU damage the new mobo?

>>55579499
>voltage broke
It is only volting up the the maximum it is set to. So if you have throttling on, it will volt down the the minimum set in the profile, when you max out your gfx card it will be at the max voltage, your setting just set it to be constantly at the high profile settings.
Remove everything, yes everything
Run it with just the cpu in it.
Look at error lights
add one dimm of ram
check error lights
add hdd
check error lights
Add the rest of your ram.
let it sit to see if it dies out
after that put in your gpu.
At this point if it dosent boot, it is either your pci lane or your gfx card that is fucked.

The PSU fan was spinning, as was the one case fan connected directly to the PSU. It was everything connected via the mobo that wouldn't turn on. Why would that make you think PSU is dead? Thanks.

I think I'll replace a bit at a time until it works. Already RMAing GPU, PSU, and Mobo. If it still doesn't work then CPU, HDD etc. Just checking, if I tried to boot with new stuff and it turned out CPU was dead, would that damage the new parts?

The racks alone ar $400+

Is 3 pin fan speed control not a common feature on motherboards? If my $80 MSI Z170-A Pro can do it, shouldn't others be able to do so?
Using Windows 7.
OS was fine for ~3 years
Had to reformat and reinstall Windows 3 or 4 times in the last few months due to errors, and now my computer goes into startup repair a couple times a week for a few hours.
Is my HDD failing? I figure that's the case since the reinstalls of Windows are becoming more frequent.
I'm running an unofficial build of CyanogenMod 12.1 (Android 5.1) on my HTC Jewel and the "mobile data" button in the Notification Drawer's Quick Settings doesn't actually toggle the mobile data on and off. It just takes me to the mobile data stats page. This is pretty annoying, since now I have to go to Settings > Mobile Data > toggle to toggle my mobile data on and off. I've read that this was a change from Android 4.4 to Android 5.0 and up. It's really bothersome and I'd like to find a way to make this button work again.
Unfortunately I can't use the "Custom Quick Settings" app and other standard workarounds because my phone is not rooted. It used to be, but I had to un-root for a few mobile games that I play because they detect root and won't allow you to play if it's detected. RootCloak 2 and similar root hiding techniques did not help. I'd prefer not to re-root my phone since I would lose access to these games.
I don't suppose making a few edits to the OS I'm running and then compiling it myself would be a viable option? I've never edited nor compiled an Android OS before, but I'm no stranger to coding.
I'd appreciate any insight on how to make this button function as an actual toggle for the mobile data again.
>>55581906
Yes, go to the them folder, and copy the icons you want. They will be named what they do whne you press them.
Just copy them over to the light theme.
>>55581766
ok so the rack is 400, the raid card is like how much?
before the hard drives i wanted to spend <1000 but good quality stuff, then for those 12 drives i figure it'll rack up to 2000 eventually.
is there some things that i'm not taking into account
>>55581577
The second one. You probably don't even need the ram. And if your PSU is 500w you're probably good there. What's really holding you back is your GPU. Go current gen and you'll be much happier
>>55581916
That's absurd dude. Run a disk check. See how many errors in comes up with. Probably yeah tho; time to get an SSD

I've taken to manually hiding every thread that has a dumb question that should belong here as well as GPU garbage, anti-Linux shilling, and other shit I've gotten real tired of.
What would happen if you installed your OS onto an SD card and left it plugged in as a sort-of drive? Could you boot from it? Would it be faster than a standard HHD? Would this eventually kill the SD card?
Do you think it's still worth getting a tech-related degree nowadays?
>>55582156
That's basically what a pi does. You could probably boot from it. It would be slow as shit. Eventually all media gets killed, but the card would probably die young comparatively
>>55582188
That's really broad. Research what you want to do, then research how competitive the market is.
>>55582116
Sounds good. Just remember that replacing your GPU is probably going to be much higher priority than your CPU
Is it possible to flash over a shitty windblow phone and make it android?

Is there any way to add .ASS subtitles to a video in MPC-HC so they would be displayed in "Subtitle Track" section?
The english subs are in the video itself, but when I try to add russian subs through "File" > "Load Subtitles" it does absolutely nothing.
I know that you can get it to work through renaming the .ASS files so that they would have the same name as .MKV's, but they still don't display in "Subtitle Track" (In that case chosing either "No subs" or "Eng" still only displays the russian subs)
So I'm trying to install POSReady 2009 and after installing it reboots for the post install setup, then reboots and it's back to the post install setup again. Anyone know how to fix this?
QUESTION ABOUT ANDROID DEVICE
Is it possible to increase the RAM with a micro SD card? It's a Samgsung Galaxy Tab 2 if that matters, which I don't think it would.
>>55578748
Yes. The first series is weird but the second series on is great. Just skip the first series if you start to hate it.
>>55578814
Don't do this. British Office is shit.
What winblows Email client does /g/ recommend ?

>>55583265
Opera Mail
>>55583274
No way whatsoever
>>55583274
It does not have a swap.
You increase it by getting a model with more ram.

hey guys i recently bought this lock for my computer i bought for school, and i used it while at a coffee shop today. somehow someone still managed to steal my brand new thinkpad t460, how the fuck did someone doe this??!
>pic related is the lock i got, i thought it work fine.
>>55583322
There is no need for a audio card anymore. Unless you're doing pro audio
>>55583322
My cheap Xonar is noticeably better than my motherboard. A sound card is worthwhile if you have anything better than "computer speakers"
>>55583322
If your onboard is particularly bad maybe
You're usually better off with a good external DAC anyways.
>>55583355
Did you lock it properly?
>>55583355
They lifted the table?
The fan in my x220 will buzz and reverberate the entire computer until I thump the bottom of the laptop, then it stops. Then 30min later the fan starts buzzing again. Is this normal
>>55583367
yes im not stupid, i know how to use a lock!
>>55583396
Apparently not.
You lost a locked object.
And they clearly couldnt torch it in the middle of a shop.
>>55583355
Someone foiled your cheap Taiwanese lock? Go figure.
>>55583404
>>55583424
guys i know how to use a lock. it was really strong, and i only went to the bathroom for like 2 mins. It wasn't a cheap lock. now i need to replace my lost laptop, i don't know how this happened, the laptop was brand new too, so it should have worked with the lock!
>>55583453
>>55583424
besides, i specifically got the vga lock because it was way bigger and stronger than the shitty kensington one.
>>55583453
Well, sorry bro, this is more of a questions thread, we don't really do grief counseling. But thanks for the heads up on those locks.
>>55583453

You made a mistake
You failed to lock it properly

is this man correct?

You don't have to deal with drivers for the card which is nice
Portability is nice too

A good one won't
can someone recommend a dedicated audio player in the $250 range? Something like the Fiio I guess? I'm completely new to audiophile stuff. Looking for headphones and dedicated player. Would like to spend total, under $500.
Would also prefer if the player can accept large capacity MicroSD card(s)
Lastly, are these "audiophile" dedicated players bullshit? Would I just be better off with like an ipod? I use a good android phone, but want something with an overall better sound chip/max volume.

Is there a way to completely disable all the spyware in windows 10 ?
>>55583706
Nobody knows. But probably not. If they can't definitively remove all back doors in linux in it's few million lines of code, there's no way we could ever be sure that w10 is even close. But Ultimate Tweaker 4 helps.
>>55583682
Sure. It's a PITA but if you keep track of your shit it usually works out
>>55583706
No.

if i split a flac file using a .cue into separate songs still encoding in flac, but with a different setting for compression will it lose quality or something? not that i can hear the difference but still

Pretty CPU heavy

You'll never need a full tower
>>55583804
Are you SURE you are going to overclock?
7 or 8, which is it?
No SSD?
Paying for 5ghz wifi with no ac?
>>55583831
FLAC is lossless, the different encoding levels only change the time it takes to encode and the filesize.

Forgot to add a 240GB SSD and monitor I bought as well. Should I buying another Memory unit?
>>55583906
Windows 8 I guess since I've used to it on my laptop, but I don't mind going back to 7. Also will need clarification on the 5ghz wifi with no ac part.
>>55583915
Alright thanks, so then I can always use the highest settings and there should be no problem
>>55583938
Memory is better if bought in a matching set. If you're buying them individually might as well wait and see if you need that second one.
If you are buying 8 there's no extra steps just buy a kinguin key and download from microsoft. Windows 7 you would need to patch the iso with a tool from MSI.
wifi comes in two bands. The regular 2.4ghz b/g/n and the short range 5ghz that powers A and the other N. AC is the newest standard and ridiculously fast and only on 5ghz. I'm not saying it's worth getting, but if you're paying more for a dual band card you might as well be getting the benefit.
>>55584007
Neato, I guess I'll wait and see how the memory situation pans out. So the wireless adapter will not work on 2.4ghz?
>>55584070
It will. Im saying it won't do ac, like for high bandwidth signals. But whatever. I was just questioning your cost/ feature ratio
>>55584007
Not the original guy who posted his build, but when will AC be worth getting? I have the exact wireless adapter and it's been working fine.
>>55584170
My cost/feature ratio is pretty borked right now and I'm most likely overpaying for what I intend to do, which is just a few games for 1080p right now. I was planning on just getting an bareboneish starter pc setup out the way until I'm done with law school, then doing a general upgrade (more monitors and utility) to whatever needs be for what the future holds when I'm done with school.
Thanks papa anons for input

What do you think about Logitech's latest gaming peripheral?
>>55577390
Yes, you can, but you have to do it in a non-retarded way. You have to make sure the ends of the cable nubs are properly insulated from all other conductive points of contact. I personally would use electrical tape in this situation, but there are better options.
>>55583645
get an old 5th gen ipod and a pair of mdr-v6. If you want to feel the placebo, get one of those silly amps that you plug into the data port. Install rockbox for .FLAC support.
don't drink the audiophile kool-aid unless you have a lot of disposable income and want to look like a complete tool.

The cicadas outside of my window at night are about to drive me insane.
I need some recommendations for noise canceling headphones from ebay. Something under $30.
I don't need anything with amazing audio quality, just something that will reduce the sound of those fucking insects, as well as the fans in my computer.
I see several different Sony sets here

That's its formatted capacity? Try reformatting it
>>55577390
Yes, but if you have to ask this question you are not qualified to do it. Leave it alone, anon.
>>55577474
It's not an error. It's a message from the OS telling the device you're using is a USB 2.0 or faster device, and you've got it in an older USB port.
Don't worry about it.
>>55577532
Could be more, could be less. Depends on how well optimized the program is.
>>55577904

>>55577929
Not significantly because the GPUs are rated for hundreds of thousands of hours of use and you have probably not even put a dent in the lifespan.
It's like 97 and 96 percent respectively. Still plenty of life in the "bad" one.
>>55578117
Download and run a live Linux and try some benchmarks. If you still have poor performance there is a hardware issue.
>>55578179
It will boost performance about 50% over a single card, which is pretty huge.
I bought a 390x for $280
Did I fuck up?
>>55584205
It depend on your bandwidth needs. And if youre willing to upgrade enough of your gear. Things like streaming an HD ps4 feed would benifit. But even conventional wifi is faster than most internet connections, and usually people that stream on their own network that much would just wire things physically. Also 5ghz has less range, so unless theyre surrounded by competing wifi, 2.4 is usually more practical
