/g/ I need help with symbolic links
I'm trying to make it so that my default "Pictures" folder in Windows is actually stored in my External drive. This is the command I've triedmklink /J C:\Users\MyUsername\Pictures D:\MyFolder
And the error I get is that it cannot create a file when that file already exists. To me that suggests Windows can't link already existing folders and therefore it wouldn't be possible to link my Pictures folder to an external drive, but the thing is that's how my setup was before and then did a factory reset
Plz help
I want to buy some new speakers, now ibood has a deal on Denon SC-M39 speakers. No idea if they are any good or not though.
Can anyone give me suggestions? Maybe on decent but fairly priced speakers.
I already have an amp and a sub-woofer.
>>51759207
You dont have to force this via commands, Windows actually has this functionality built in. Right click the pictures folder and go to properties, Location tab. This works for all of the media folders in windows, like Music, videos, documents, etc

Guys Im sick of Patel giving advice on every form and comment section on the internet if you can please send help.
So I have this USB Kingston Data Traveler 2.0 8GB.
It can not be formatted via MyComputer,Disk management shows it as disk 1 but no options for it and changing the drive letter does nothing,check disk says Cannot open volume for direct access.
Formatting tool from kingston says format fail.
Is there any chance of getting this thing to work because it is detectable if you right click > open as portable device
but if you try to copy something in it,I get a message saying the device has been unplugged.
>>51759328
Holy shit what the hell.
Literally never knew this, that's stupidly useful. Feel a bit stupid that I had it all set up as a symbolic link now. Thanks man, that's pretty damn great.
Will files I save into C:/...Pictures automatically go into the folder on D:/ ?

Is there a way to upgrade it to the 64 bit without unplugging anyhing and keeping windows on my SSD? or do I have to completely reinstall? I really dont want to partition my HDD again
>>51759408
been there,reinstall is the only way.
>>51759389
Yeah, it basically uses the same symbolic link system to acheive it. Sometimes, old programs with shitty coding will create a folder in the original location (C:\Users\), but 99% of programs take the hint and take the link correctly.
>>51759389
it's not going to be on C if you changed the location to D.
right click the folder and check the path to be sure where it's going to be saved.
>>51759371

Hi /g/
I want to install Linux Mint on my PC.
I have an AMDGPU enabled R9 380.
My question is how do I go about getting the Ubuntu LTS based Mint distro to boot so I can upgrade to the 4.2 kernel or later?
Specs=
OS: Windows 7
CPU: I7-4790k not overclocked
RAM: 16GB
GPU MSI R9 380
>>51759938
because almost everyone has office on windows and it's not "intensive"
>>51759951
idle doesnt include anything.
>1. spend time doing nothing.
So I spilled a glass of water and some of it spilled over the desk and into the top vent of my PC. There was about 5 seconds between the spill and me powering off the PC and unplugging everything and there didn't seem to be any visual fuck ups from my monitor before everything was powered down.
I read a few things online and disassembled my PC and put all the parts in the warmest room in the house. It has been about 23 hours but I'll wait another 30 hours until I put everything back together.
Anyway, what I wanted to ask if I see any noticeable water residue on my motherboard how should I go about cleaning it of? I'm told I need 90% or 95% alcohol for cleaning but I'm not quite sure how to go about it.
I have a toshiba external HDD and the thing keeps disconnecting from my computer, specially if I try to transfer a game to it or play from it.
Is toshiba usually shit or I happen to get a defective unit?
>>51760068
>idle doesnt include anything.
wrong, it include being on the desktop, browsing the internet... I even heard the 960 would have its fans remain stopped while playing LoL.
so you are wrong.

whats the best way to record a video that has softcoded subs and retain the subs in the video?
is there a way? outside of just screencapping it or something retarded
>>51760513
I get that, firefox is full of memory leaks and bad programming practises. CPU/memory usage often will suddenly increase without any reason
All fans start up and HDD spins, mobo shows red "AA", no signal to monitor.
This is the case after having suffered from spontaneous cases of video signal suddenly being lost and abnormal fan behaviour, requiring reboots.
Is it most likely the graphics card? Possibly contact issue? I probed the card a bit when the machine was "running" and this caused acute change in fan speed.
Tried reapplying card, didn't fix it. PCI-E itself possibly too loose?
>>51760752
ffmpeg can hardcode the subs
>>51760751
not trap :^)
best GPU for i5 4460 im really tight on budget, and can i use ATI GPU with intel CPU?
>>51760767
firefox has less leaks that chrome
youtube shouldnt cause any temp increase. im using a fucking q6600 OC'd and my tmep doesnt even go up a single degree while youtubing.
only thing i can think of is maybe hardware acceleration is not working properly...
>>51760748
is the gpu drivers the same version as before? sometimes the latest drivers can cause issues for older cards.
>>51760831
>and can i use ATI GPU with intel CPU?
this is why intel shils are blasted on here so often
>>51760834
I believe I went from 359.00 to 359.06, would you recommend a clean install of the last version to see if that helps?

Is truecrypt still ok to use for my flash drives?
From what I understand, the audit didn't find any holes in it, but the site is still saying 'truecrypt may be unsafe' etc.
I have portable apps / personal documents (copy of passport etc.) that I'd rather not have floating around if it gets lost.
If not, what are the alternatives?
If I'm upgrading from an AMD 6970 but don't really play games any more, what would be a very cost-effective graphics card right now?
Just something cheap and quiet (!) and noticeably faster than the 6970, which should be easy after all these years.
Ok, /sqt/, I am having this issue with my old PC.
PC boots, I hear one beep, fans are spinning but it doesn't show anything on the monitor. It has managed to show an error message on it and boot into Windows once, but I haven't had much luck since.
>CMOS checksum error - Defaults loaded
This is the error message. I know for a fact video card/monitor/RAM modules are fine because I have tried them on another PC. Is my CMOS battery dead? Or could it be something else?
Setting up my tablet and Windows Update just isn't downloading shit at all. I'm on Windows 8.1, I did a factory reset but it was to no avail.
I just get a vague "There was a problem downloading updates" and when I search for Windows Update I get 0 results. I'm not sure I even have Windows update
>>51761122
keep the 6970. no reason to upgrade if you're not playing that much. you wont find anything 'cheap' that has the same performance anyway. if you want less noise try cleaning it or setting a lower fan speed.

Wow, I would have thought technology advanced faster than that.
hey poorfag here and i need help choosing a good laptop around the price of £400-£500
heres what i found so far, HP Pavilion 15-ab271sa, ASUS X555LA, LENOVO Z50 and ACER Aspire F5-571
I need to buy new ram since one of my sticks died recently. I mostly use my PC for gaming, word processing, browsing the internet, and very occasionally video editing.
Should I go for something cheap, or get something fast with low latency and timings? I know performance ram doesn't make much of a difference in games. Budget isn't an issue.
>>51761243
>>51761186
Yeah it's legit but it seems to be sorted now. Ran Microsoft's Windows Update troubleshooter and after a reboot or two it showed up. It has around 56 updates and the stupid thing doesn't show files are downloading and stays at 0% which threw me off
It's moved on to installing now though
What are the best review sites?
any recommendations for vps providers who will respect muh freedumbs? it will be used exclusively as a vpn server and do around 3tb up+down per month. the option to pay by bitcoin would be a plus.

I'm basically an absolute fucking (GNU Plus) Linux noob, just installed debian for the 1st time, and installed i3 along with it. It's cool and stuff, but I wanna remove gnome shit, but somehow i3 is tied to gnome or some shit?

I always distro hopped and never stayed somewhere for a longer time than 3 months
I am now fairly knowledgeable and run arch
but I got noobish problem because of my distro hopping
I have no idea how distros like Ubuntu, Mint, openSUSE, Fedora,... how do they deal when new version comes out and old one is installed.
Lets say you have ubuntu 15.04 and 15.10 came out,
hows your experience of that? Does ubuntu tells you theres big update?
Is kernel switched seemingly? Is it all under the hood?
Or does it not even bother without extensive user deliberate seeking out of the upgrade?
similarly Mint 17.2 and newly released 17.3.. how do they go about it?
Another thing, does kernel get updated outside of the version jumps?
if I am on 15.04 I am on that one kernel that came with it until I update the version? or it gets updated as any other package inside the system..

--- PARANOIA ---
Hey guys, I'm admittedly new to doing/making technology, but I'm wondering what I can do to keep my internet activity from being tracked. I didn't want to start a whole thread for this. I'm a very paranoid person and this thought bothers me every day. Of course, I've deleted facebook / google accounts, as well as disabling the telemetry updates in my Win7. I just don't know what my ISP could be tracking and stuff. Please have mercy on a pitiful fucking noob and just throw a couple of words out there that I can research.
What do I need to do to quell my paranoia about being tracked? P-private server? VPN? I honestly have no fucking idea what these are, but if you could just throw me a couple of words, I'd really appreciate it.

Most people use WPA2 now.
There is a folder on my external hard drive that I made 'shared' in order to be able to be accessed by my WD TV and other PC's on my wifi network.
My desktop where I set those permissions is now bricked and It does not boot.
I've connected my external HD to my laptop but the folder where I set those permissions does not allow me to delete or edit anything on it because I guess it is still requiring permissions from my desktop.
How can I remove those permissions? I'm unable to do it from my laptop.
Would there be a way to use linux to remove those permissions? So I can edit/delete files from that folder? I can edit/delete anywhere else outside just not in that specific folder.

I'm having an issue with windows 7's USB system,
I have a samson Meteor USB microphone plugged into a usb 2.0 port, windows began to lag and explorer.exe pretty much froze everything for a second then gives me a pop up telling me that the speed of the device could be improved by moving it to a usb 2.0 port.
here's the thing all my ports are usb 2.0 or 3.0, so I decide my options are switch it to another 2.0 port, this ones front panel, same issue after about 40 minutes of use.
I try a usb 3.0 port, same exact issue.
The problem isn't that the device doesn't work it work's perfectly, only everytime it disconects it causes this lag and then resets all of the audio levels forcing me to reset them and relaunch any programs using the microphone
My question is how do I fix this and
tl;dr can I disable windows 7's usb optimization feature for usb 2.0

If I download torrents through my college's wifi, can they easily notice what I'm doing?
It's a lot faster than my home's. It has a login in order to use it, and I'd just download ocassional tv shows and movies.
Dude u just need replay the fucking under code

Don't know, I never had any problems. I guess it's been a trend forced upon the public by competitors to laugh at Kingston RAM for some reason. It probably was 5 degrees hotter than other brands at some point or some bullshit like that, it sticks.
>>51762559
yeah cause I'm really gonna trust some random chart that doesn't cite sources or even say where it's from, but wherever it's from it's from a site that uses social integration visited by a user who doesn't block that shit so the orininal poster of that image is also suspect

The project managers decide what goes in and what doesn't.
Github is based around forking, meaning your copy the original code as your own then usually modify it, afterwords you can request to merge your forked code into the original project, that's where the project managers review your changes and decide if it is what they want, github visually shows all the differences and changes in the code.
I don't know how they coordinate it though, possibly an external contact like an irc or using github's internal issue's / suggestion section.
can I just get a sanity check with regard to power consumption?
first build, it's a poorfag server box and I already have three HDDs from my last home server. I have no idea what the proper power requirements are and the different sources I consulted vary from pic related to 279 W.
this is the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zMJx8d
plus three 7200 RPM SATA internals, also two or three USB 3 external drives, a USB soundcard, and probably some other things.
Is 300W enough? overkill? way too little?
>>51762947
Power supplies work most efficiently around 50% load, you're better off getting some breathing room an get a power supply with at least 25% more wattage than planned peak load.
>>51762991
but what is a reasonable estimate of my load? does that calculator figure seem reasonable for the setup? (lowest tier AMD, three hard drives, no vidya card)
>>51762496
>It has a login
Then they can know
They probably won't notice unless you get a copyright email.
>>51762662
Anyone?
>>51763089
For a very conservative estimate
(CPU TDP + GPU TDP) *1.25
+ 50 (mobo)
+5 x # of Fans
+15 x # of HDDs
>>51763191
so if the power supply has a fan and the case has a fan and the CPU has a fan, that counts for three?
does a USB hard drive that is not independently powered count as a hard drive, and one that is independently powered not count?

If I take an old laptop and torrent the series from starbucks or something, is there a way it can be linked back to me?
Will free VPNs keep me safe if I cave in and torrent it from home?
So /g/ do you belive with high end Pascal will be 4k/60fps with a single card?
Or should I just settle with a 980 Ti and 2K?
>>51763314
If they want to find you then they will look on the cctv in starbucks. They will find you if they want to.
>>51763277
Correct, but a 2.5" external hard drive powered off USB will be more like 5 watts
These are intentionally inflated values to reflect peak loads when the fans and HDDs first spin up
Normal power usage of a fan is closer to 2 watts and 10 watts for a 3.5" HDD.
>>51763314
Yes because they record your MAC for this very reason.

>>51763355
CCTV extends wider than starbucks, and if it is in a modern developed city they could narrow it down enough to find you.
"They" wouldn't bother though for something like watching game of thrones.

I need a replacement remote for my TV. It's just a simple Samsung HDTV. No crazy smart functions except I guess the USB read allows you to play media off of it.

The ram is very old. I'm kind of ignorant with regards to ram performance. I upgraded every other component in the PC last year so I kind of want to just get a whole new set.
I'm just not sure what ram to get or how much latency and timings actually matter for my uses. Like, would it be complete overkill if I got the max frequency supported by my board with the lowest latency?
anyway a friend can stream a movie off me? i.e I have it locally and they just stream it, I know you can do it with IPFS but is there a better way?

Lol, you remind me of a friend who tried to use regedit to change the background of his mother's pc, then bricked it.
>>51763610
What kind of ram does your motherboard support? Just look at reviews on newegg or something like that, something with 2600+ frequency, the latency etc. are all likely to be similar for the highly rated products.

Hey /g/,
I'm using Webm for Retards which works just fine. However, I want to get it to automatically make several 1 min webm out of the same source which is about 45 min or so rather than what I do now which is manually tell it to go 1 min ahead and encode each one which takes forever.
How do I get it to do this?
Any idea what's wrong with my PC?
Every now and then my USB peripherals (Mouse and Keyboard is all I really have) disconnect then my computer freezes(clock stops for example), and a few seconds later, if there's any audio playing the speakers buzz. A forced restart via button on my case clears things up. I suspect it's not a software issue because this issue has been consistent through at least 2 Windows installations. It seems to happen randomly too, sometimes it could be twice a day then not happen for a week or 2. It also doens't seem to matter what the PC is doing at the time. This has happened durinmg gameplay, youtube playback, web browsing, sitting idle overnight. I should also mention that temperatures are all stable.
Any idea what it could be? I'd like to treat myself to a new case, and migrate my components to this new case/ have something nice and new, but I'm not amazing with PC hardware, so I'd like to get any hardware replacements done at the same time so I don't have to do PC surgery more than necessary.
