i want to back up my entire pc to an external hard drive, i just copy and paste this into a folder on it, right?
>>51853378
Yes.Or you can use imaging software that can automate it and do snapshot or differental backups
I posted at the end of the new thread, so I'll just repost here. I'm learning about C++ inheritance and derived classes. I'm getting errors in the following:Pancakes::Pancakes(string name, KIND kindOfItem, int amount): myName(name), myKind(kindOfItem), myAmount(amount)
I'm not understanding why I'm getting errors, I'm at a complete loss. I tried altering the syntax as much as I could, nixed the "myName, myKind." What am I doing wrong?

For class, I'm doing a small presentation on data center cooling solutions and am struggling to find some source on how liquid cooling works in the context of a data center environment. Is it basically the same has how liquid cooling works on a like a home computer?
>>51853598
Centos.
For LTS repos
>raid
Software or hardware?
>>51853614
http://www.cisco.com/web/about/ciscoitatwork/data_center/dc_mgmt.html
They don't use liquid cooling, they use best practices.
In fact look at vmwares best practices for data centers, they speak nothing of liquid cooling.

>>51853637
Software Raid.
I used fedora and this is my first time with raid and linux. On windows it worked, I could use it. On linux (fedora) the raided disk would not work, after reformatting it broke.
I am now after an OS that is worth investing a lot of time educating myself with this matter. For the effort I am looking at I do not want the distro the break a day later.
>>51853658
Nah they use fanless servers.
They also design their datacenters in a fashion where heat is ether jetted away from the room to a cooling center, or they use special design servers that produce minimal heat but have many cores and CPUs. Look at google. They do not have much in way of massive cooling systems for each server do they.
Like the rapsberri pi design. Low voltage, low heat. Same concept by on a large scale.
I would know since I had to design a energy efficient datacenter using best practice of both Australian and American standards.
>>51853662
Centos.
Beyond security updates i dont belive the stock repos change.As they are for production eniroments.
I've never fucked with software raid,
You can pick up a decent 3ware card for a few hundred.It way better then software raid.
Parents gave me $800 for my birthday. I have a bunch of money saved up and want to build a decent PC. Is this a good build for the price?

>>51853718
I even submitted to a CEO the idea of high rise building datacenter designs. Having servers on the highest floors effects heat disposition by 12.degrees per average server.
Liquid cooling is a lazy way to disperse heat when using a datacenter.
>>51853641
That's great, but I just want to give a short explanation of liquid cooling. I want to know how it works is all.
>>51853723
That was my next thought. I am just worried about buying fake raid thinking it is real hardware raid.
Might even buy a nas for that purpose.
>>51853378
>>51853400
Yes? WTF.. You can't just copy and paste the C: and expect any kind of usable OS backup. Use Windows' built-in backup utility to make an image.

Will Phenom X6 get any notcible improvement in games with low level APIs like DirectX 12, or it's a dead CPU?
6 cores seems counter productive for DX11, but should work well in DX12.
>>51853751
Liquid cooling is a designed method and attempt of reducing heat of specific computer components. Fans move the water in a circuit fashion. The heat is then placed into two possible configurations.
>Radiator cooled
>Fan cooled
For this reason space and datacenters can pose a problem with the use of water cooling.
Best practice guides suggest a rather smarter approach to datacenter designs then the overall use of cooling technologies. Like the high rise data center placement which can reduce heat for 9.degrees per server then those compared to be underground.
There that is your report buddy. Mine the spelling. I was not prepared for this.
Currently got antergos install on a normal harddrive, when I switch to an SSD can I just clone my harddrive or something and pick up where I left off?
>>51853849
Depending is the UUI is remember or not.
The use of systmd improved how you can do that simple step but the use of init can have varying results.
Try it I guess. You can always reformat your ssd

Haven't even checked your link, but did you check LogicalIncrements before posting?
So I bought a bigger SSD to serve as my boot drive. I don't feel like doing a fresh install, especially because I just did one a couple months ago, so I figured I'd try cloning my current boot drive and just pasting it onto the new one.
If I use CloneZilla for this, will it also copy over the System Reserved partition (I'm on Windows)?
>>51853876
No you cannot do it with windows partitions. It will fuck up and waste your time trying.
you can do it with linux but results vary.

As far as I know this CPU is outdated right now. I'm just interested if DX12 can put it back in line with current line up of entry CPUs, like FX6300 or i3.

i just built a new pc. sadly, i don't have a monitor. just a tv. for a while it was booting up into windows fine. i pulled the cmos battery in some act of madness late last night and now it won't boot properly. since i'm using a tv i can't see the screen it's hanging on. i know the bios is booting because i get the post beep but... ugh... i've been trying to guess what has been popping up on screen in hopes the right combination of key presses will get it to boot again. am i fucked? this is hopeless... i just want to play fallouts.
>>51853927
Custom loop.Yes
AIO.No.
>>51853925
Nah, I'm not saying I want to buy one, I'm asking if it will get any improvement due to better parallelization in DX12.
>>51853919
Windows 10 is still beta since they add unstable stuff to the system are minimal testing. Should had waited.
If I have a dual monitor setup, is there a way to play sound from the two different sources? Like if I wanted to play a movie on a tv, and play a game at the same time, is there a way I can get the movie to play through the TV speakers, and have the game play through my PC speakers, but not both at the same time?
>>51853936
Is the cmos pins in the proper place to boot?
You might have them reseting and it wont post cause its set to reset each time.
>>51853930
You autistic sperg that wasn't one of the options! I already know C++.
Please McFuckin kill yourself.
>>51853936
Pulling the cmos battery out if a sure way to fuck up your bios.
You need to reflash your bios now.
>>51853956
You need a mixer,and a way to tell software which hardware you want it to go too.
I dont know how you'd do it on windows thought
>>51853956
That should be possible, especially for the movie.
I wanna say most decent media players let you choose which sound device to output to.
>>51853955
>Windows 10 is still beta since they add unstable stuff to the system are minimal testing. Should had waited.
Well fuck it, I gave up and just booted up Linux. I guess I will just hope it works next time I boot it up.
>>51853940
Got anything that isn't by fractal design?
>>51853970
Dogshit.
Battery is literally only there to store bios config.If it goes out or you remove it for an extended time.All that will happen is your bios go back to factory defaults.

The rest of my computer is fine, I just need a cheap graphics card that can play games at a playable frame rate.
>>51853962
>Need a new language to learn, which is more useful Java or Haskell?
What part of your post states that? You specified that you would like to learn a language that isn't Java or Haskell.
Try actually asking your question properly next time if you want a better answer.
>>51853960
i pulled the battery, i didn't fuck with the any pins. do you mean like putting a jumper on to short the pins and then not removing it? because i didn't do that either.
>>51853970
it has dual bios so i'm pretty sure it recovered from the old one after i put the battery back and turned it back on again. i really hope i don't have to flash it because that would be impossible right now.
i don't have the money for a new monitor right now. i just need to get it back to the damn factory default settings because those were good to get into windows.
I'm about to clean install Windows to a Samsung SSD. I made two previous attempts, but they both failed , most likely due to disc errors on the DVD. How should I remove these failed installations?

It's fine, but MSI is shit, Corsair meme RAM is questionable, i7 4790k is a ripoff, and why the fuck are you using a mechanical hard drive?

But how is he goin to differentiate which audio stream windows is going to send? You can do that to audio device,but he is only playing the audio to one software stream.He would get,for example,get his music,movie,alarm all on the same stream,He need sto find a way to send each program stream to a different audio channel.Then take that and send it to the device
>>51853990
if it was working fine when i first installed it and isn't now i think that means i fucked up something beyond bios settings i think and i'm even more fucked. i know it worked fresh out of the box. does resetting the bios always restore it to the way it came in the box or is it more nuanced than that?

well, i'm always paranoid about fucking something up when i open a case. power cables and shit can be a pain to remove. and bend in the board makes me sweat like a pig but you gottta get the damn power cable out for whatever damn reason and it won't budge. i'm probably more worried that it's a more seriously, costly problem then changing a couple bios settings but that's probably it. i'm going to get a cheap ass monitor in a week and see it's just asking me to type the word yes or something before it will complete resetting to defaults and that has been the problem the whole time... surely it's that.
>>51854015
With games you're probably going to have to rely on whatever you tell Windows to default to, but if you're willing to stick a specific media player you might be able to tell the media player to ignore Windows' default and select a specific connected audio device.
VLC has an option for this, I bet MPC does too if you fuck around with it.

Also, are you serious? You're legitimately telling me that you are intentionally typing in a way that you know makes it more difficult to understand what you're trying to say.

>>51854105
They install the factory defaults on to the eeprom and thats that.You cant touch it with anything in the bios settings,or any other software.You cannot flash it within the means of your motherboard.
It sounds like you might have done something to the board.
Do you have the manual or find it online and see the post code(should be an led display on the board) If its posting but not putting out video there should be a gpu fail code.
Might just try resating the gfx compltly and see if something is up with it

>>51854181
I'm starting to think you're just pretending to be retarded. Your typing style makes it more difficult because it requires the reader to interpret your text then internally translate it.
Plus your example isn't proof at all. To match my previous example, your sentence would become "tht ann sd tht th th nggr ws fggt," which is technically still legible, but you would need to literally have brain damage to think that those two allow you to convey your thoughts the same.
In a bash script when should one use a CASE statement instead of an IF/ELIF/ELSE statement?if success; then
printf success
elif fail; then
printf fail
else
printf other
fi
orcase $result in

printf success;;
fail)
printf fail;;

Should CASE only be used when there are >=4 options to avoid an IF/ELIF/ELIF/ELSE situation?

How do I make muh DE look pretty?
Which default DE should I start with at installation? (Debian Plebian)
When it comes to PC games, engines, and optimization, would there be such a thing as diminishing returns? If I may phrase my question better;
Suppose I am making a game for all platforms, and I decided to use Unreal Engine 4. This engine, from my understanding, can accomplish some feats to satisfy high end systems, such as more impressive lighting and shadows. But suppose I wanted to add a super low settings option, like pic related. Would scaling the graphics down more and more actually improve performance, or does the engine itself need to be customized further for that?
So /g/ since I can't code could someone make a tweak to the homepage I found?
I want it to have a dropdown menu so where It says /g/ I could hover over it and it'd have a submenu with other 4chan links? sorry if this doesn't make sense or if I'm asking too much

So I'm in the market for a new laptop as a gift. Looking at the Asus F555LA-AB31 (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B011KFQASE/)
The only real question I have after scouring the internet for every other detail of this thing, would it be possible to install Windows 7 properly off a fresh install? Asus website only lists 8.1 and 10 on the driver page, and the "other" OS tab just brings up BIOS and a couple other things. Do 8.1 drivers have a history of working on 7, or am I stuck between 10 and 8.1?
>>51855420
I do, thanks

>>51855510
Textures and post-processing effects contribute most heavily to performance issues. Before you do any optimization I would try to test a build on a low end computer and slowly reduce quality starting with texture resolutions.
>>51855583
I see. So could I hypothetically design a game that looks like Crysis 3 on Max settings, that needs a, i7 and a 980TI to run smoothly, and the low settings to look like the Dire Straits video, and being able to run on, huh, maybe a Pentium 4 and a Radeon 9550? I mean, these parts are ancient, but the question refers more to their power rather than their age. Would it be possible at all to make super low settings to run on weak hardware, or would UE4 be too bloated for them, thus making this "optimization" a waste?
I want to launch a website.
I have a domain name. Once I have a bootstrap template chosen what do I do next? I'm planning on hosting with heroku. The site is going to have articles and a sidebar and eventually ads like any other news site, so what do I use to update it?
Additionally, if I want to change the website design, what are some essential tools?

Any suggestions
>>51855618
The capabilities are all about how far you choose to optimize. You COULD go so far as to include lower polygon models (since you're notioning towards Crysis vs. my picture), but do note that stronger optimization means larger disk requirement since you have to pack all those extra assets in (character_model_ULTRA, character_model_HIGH, character_model_MEDIUM, etc.) You should read up on the graphics pipeline and some basic rendering in DX/OpenGL. Not about how to do it but a higher level analysis of how it works. I can of course continue to answer any questions you have.
I want to auto-generate cross-platform playlists from a listing of every flac in a directory, non-recursive. The filenames contain the track number. Is there a tool to do this or can basic scripting accomplish it?
>>51855618
I forgot to answer your question. UE4 probably has its own absolute minimum requirements which sets a hard floor. Your implementation determines the "soft floor."

So lately I've been having problems with using Mumble.
At first I couldn't backspace or copy and paste using keyboard shortcuts, I would have to manually highlight and right click. And now for some reason my numlock is causing it to mute/deafen when it's not my active window, even when I only have the "pause" button on my keyboard set for that. I've reinstalled drivers for the keyboard, restarted my PC, uninstalled mumble, deleted the regs, and reinstalled, and it's all still happening. It's only on Mumble too, so it's not my keyboard doing it.
Do you guys prefer Opera Mini or regular on high end android devices? And what if I have bandwidth restrictions?
I have a GA-Z68X-UD5-B3 motherboard and a need for mass storage.
The board has 10 USB ports and 6 sata ports. I have 9 drives.
When I tried to run 6 through internal SATA I believe I had killed one of the ports. The bios was reporting "bzbzbzbzbz" nonsense for the drive name.
So I put three of those internal drives into external enclosures and attached the via usb. A total of 9/10 USB ports were in use. This resulted in all USB devices failing including the mouse and keyboard. Unplugging some of these solved the issue.
What the fuck? is there a power limitaion? is my motherboard dying? I paid a lot extra for all of these connectivity options.
I used a power supply calculator and apparently I have near 100W to spare.

Post an example of ones that you don't like. I have the DeathAdder and I really like it, but if you don't like that SteelSeries usually has more minimal designs.
>>51856258
I was thinking of a deathadder but I'd prefer it if it didn't have the razor logo.
>>51856283
every time I see that mouse I literally can't believe that's a real product that people buy
>>51856283
the fuck, how is that thing even remotely comfortable
>>51856283
The DeathAdder's LED can be turned off, but if you're still not a fan, check out the g502, and if that's too MLG for you try the SteelSeries Sensei.
>>51856301
It's not much more or less comfortable than the average mouse, worse than a lot of the mid and low range ones in my opinion, but pretty much every open part on that one is somewhere that you never touch anyway, less you should happen to be some form of Frankenstein's creation.

Two questions:
1. While trying to get to an old IDE hard drive in my ancient prebuilt, I cut (I didn't care destroying the case, and just wanted to get the hard drive) the rubber (?) casing off, thinking that it might have been holding it in place (I was wrong; the reason why it was stuck was because I had to take the front panel off and remove the hard drive from that direction; they really made that a pain in the ass). There aren't any types of hard drives that would become dangerous without a rubber casing, right?
2. Would I be wasting my time trying to get this thing working on my very modern gaming rig, with its SATA connections?
>>51856327
maybe you should follow what it says there on the error. open an issue on their bug tracker.

What are "sockets" in programming?
Are there any DisplayPort (or HDMI) to VGA converters that can output more than 1600x1200 at 60Hz?
>>51857726
Socket Programming: Sockets provide the communication mechanism between two computers using TCP. A client program creates a socket on its end of the communication and attempts to connect that socket to a server.
Did you study the OSI model to networking?
>>51857823
No I didn't. This is awesome explanation and short. So basically any programming language that let you write sockets can be used for server-side stuff?
Or maybe I didn't understand that well , do you write sockets or they are already in there , pre built by language creators so you don't have to? Sockets are basically on low level because they control network card and data flow?
Getting a new phone soon(Moto X Pure 2015) and want to know if I can set up an SD card in advance. I have over 16 gigs of music but my comp is rather slow so i was thinking I could or should buy the sd card now and set it up in advance. But to do this would I need to format the card in a different android phone or can i just pop it in and use it without wiping the music when i get my phone?
>>51857871
You shouldn't have to write any function to implement sockets. You language should already have socket functions for you to use.

It's always a good idea to pay for Windows, but stay away from 10. Get 7 or 8 + Classic Shell. There are cheap keys on le Reddit.
If you dont want to, then get Windows 7 SP1 + all updates and then pirate it. Get a good free AV like Avast!.
And of fucking course install Gentoo or a user friendly GNULinux distro (ubuntu MATE recommended).

network teaming. a teamed network connection can share the data load, or provide fault tolerance
Let's say you have code that tries something randomly and when it works the probability of doing that again rises.
Is that Reinforcement learning? If not the what is it?
>>51859368
>good free AV like Avast!
But Avast sells your information. Why would you tell someone to stay away from Windows 10 then immediately recommend something almost as bad?

Isn't the speed limited by your hdd write speed anyways when talking about NAS? Disregarding ssd.

For the past few weeks I've noticed my torrent download speeds have become sporadic, not being able to maintain any stability. The speeds go up and fall back down constantly even when not doing anything else on the internet.
Not only that but browsing the internet in any capacity (opening images, browsing 4chan, watching videos) tanks my down speeds into the double or single kbps digits. My internet speeds have been fine on speedtest and everything else seems normal.
I don't remember making any changes that would effect something like this but it suddenly started occurring a little over 3 weeks ago. I mainly use Deluge but tried qbittorrent and the problems sill happen.
