Does it matter what brand of RAM i get if i have one stick of 4gb and i want to buy another 4gb (same speed) to put it in dual channel? Does latency speed matter in that decision?

No, I am generally never around other programmers so I don't know what they do. I have heard of some high level guys coding that way.
When you say you would carry it to "work", are you a programmer? If so I don't see why you would need to buy anything. If not then stop writing code and do your actual work.

I've never bought a tablet before. I'm on the edge between two of them, and both have pretty good reviews. Both of them are 7" tablets
One is the Toshiba Excite Go 7. The only downside I can find is the screen resolution, 1024x600. But a bunch of Samsung galaxy tablets have the same resolution, so I don't see the problem.
The other is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 or 4. It's more expensive, and it uses proprietary USB connectors. But apparently the resolution is better. Even though every spec for it I can find lists it as 1024x600, just like the other tablet.
Does anyone have experience with either of these tablets? Which one should I get? I would like a 7 inch tablet that is locally available, I don't want to order online unless there's a really good deal somewhere.

the timings dont have to match, the voltage doesn't either but should.
the mobo will use the same voltage and speeds for all it's ram, that being the lowest of any sticks being used. you have 1.3v fast ram stick and 1.5v slow ram stick? mobo will run both at slow timings and 1.3v.
ram timings dont matter and brand doesnt matter. were talking performance increases of less than 4% in the best case scenarios.

There is a difference but you just don't appreciate them. And going from a 7-7-7-18 to a 11-11-11-28 is going to have a performance decrease of larger than 4% especially if you can (spend a couple of dollars to) get something with similarly tight timing.

So I think I have this flac to mp3 thing down now.
assuming you have *.flac in your cwd and a folder.jpg: http://pastebin.com/qt850jV5
It converts to v0, removes the encoder tag, copies folder.jpg to the mp3 folder, resizes if it's bigger than 700x700, and strips the metadata of both the original and the new folder.jpg just because.

you can add "-strip" to the mogrify command to avoiding needing to use exiftool
you can remove a certain id3 tag with ffmpeg with "-metadata <tag>="""
also, you can embed album art into the mp3 files with ffmpeg, too
>>45639658

that's because you also converted the image
if you're converting the image anyway, you might as well add strip and avoid needing exiftool
though i suppose you'd need to account for files that don't need resizing, maybe it's not worth the effort

I'm a UNIX/Linux guy who's just getting up to speed on Windows programming.
My question:
What is the Windows equivalent of a Linux ".a" file?
Can a Windows ".LIB" contain the object code itself, like a ".a" file does?
Most of the ".LIB" examples I have seen are using the ".LIB" simply to provide the export information for a corresponding ".DLL" file.
But is it possible for a Windows ".LIB" file to contain the actual object code itself to be statically linked in? If not, then how would you do that in the Windows world?

Tails has a windows camoflage mode, and fiddling with a usb on a public computer isn't an unusual sight, if you can manually boot. It also has a quick shutdown, and I doubt just pulling the drive out would harm it.
Even if you run virtualbox off a memory stick, it's hard to tell what would be left behind on a windows computer with registry entries and all that. There probably won't be anything blatant like a file on the desktop called "THE LAST USER USED A VM TO LOOK AT HIS LOLI" or anything like that. It depends who you're hiding from and on what computers.

Knew a kid that did this under his 'friends' eBay account, the kid had to take him to court to get a judgement for any type of condensation, and the state did eventually prosecute but it was quite a while later

Get P33 instead of E33 and you're good to go for 4.2 GHz.
I need to set g:delimitMate_excluded_ft to a string of all known filetypes but without "cpp" and "rust" in the string.
How could I do that in vimscript?
How would I edit this to do TRIM command every 12 hours?#!/bin/sh
LOG=/var/log/trim.log
echo "*** $(date -R) ***" >> $LOG
fstrim -v / >> $LOG
fstrim -v /home >> $LOG
>>45640687
Not really.
Specs matter, brand doesn't.
>>45640692
Because they want to sell your friends consoles.

>>45640871
You don't.
That's just a script to run a TRIM and log the results.
You want to automatically run that script, not modify it.

What should I be looking for in specs? I assume 8gb of Ram is good. I'm looking at Corsair, but they're kind of expensive. What's the difference in timing?
>>45640995
Okay So I installed cronie and added this to my cron daily whatever#!/bin/sh
NICE='nice -n 19'
IONICE='ionice -c 2 -n 7'
exec ${IONICE} ${NICE} fstrim /
Fail or win?

I just installed a R5 Graphics card in my grandmas dell. The graphics card says it needs 400 watts but this pc only has a 120w power supply. I installed the driver and everything appears to be okay. Is there any potential danger doing what I just did?
>>45641077
>What should I be looking for in specs?
Depends what you are doing.
If your gaming, you're probably going to want 1.6-1.8 GHz clock speed.
>I assume 8gb of Ram is good.
Yeah, that's fine.
>What's the difference in timing?
Not a lot.
Outside of special workloads it doesn't make much difference.
>>45641092
That's fine, though I doubt nicing the hell out of fstrim will do much - in my experience it only takes a few seconds.
Also, I'm just checking, / is the only FS on the SSD?
>>45641123
What the fuck are you doing?
>>45641175
Perfect, thanks for the help.
>>45641175
My grandma seemed to need a graphics upgrade so I upgraded the graphics. Got a $30 card at bestbuy
>>45641175
Yeah. I believe so . Here's my fstab in case I am doing anything wrong. I have a normal 2 tb for storage as well for everything. I just run programs boot etc on ssd#

What graphics card did you buy?
If I wanted to start hosting my own personal website (glorified CV/portfolio) and some node webapps so that others can peek at them, what should I do? I was considering picking up an old shitty desktop and hooking it up in my closet, but that seems like it would run up my electric bill and I'm not made of money. Ideas?
Is it possible to repair an operating system on a laptop with a torrented cd of the operating system?
My mom has a windows 8.1 laptop (formerly 8), and after a good couple years of heavy use, there is 100% disk usage (which ive traced to being a corrupted part of the OS).
She is not smart enough for mac linux, so don't even mention it.

get some $5/mo vps

Start with the free tier of AWS. They provide an EC2 micro instance for $0 for a year. If you still dig having a VPS after a year, or if you run into resource constraints, then level up to Linode or Digital Ocean.
I'm trying to install a 64-bit version of Windows 7 Professional on a Macintosh machine from a flash drive. It keeps throwing up this particular message, even though it should support GPT disks. I have no idea what to do about it, and all I get is a bunch of dead links for other solutions.
Could it have something to do with rEFInd? It's been my boot manager for quite some time, but I've never had any problem installing Linux distros from it.
I watch movies on my TV by a HDMI cable. It's set to duplicate my second monitor screen.I always disable the device output when I'm done out of habit but does this actually matter? Is there an increase of precessing power / graphics while it's enabled even if the TV is off?
>>45641207
That's fine.
>>45641221
>Windows is fucking up
Best just to reinstall it.
>>45641225
Hmm.
The manufacturers tend to be on the cautious side when specifying power requirements, but I'd still be uncomfortable handing that off a 120W supply.
>>45641237
>>45641243
Thanks, think I'll look into AWS.
Also, how do I do professional-looking logo design? I'm tired of scanned-and-pixeled old logo on my old site.
What is the difference between an i7-4790k and a 4790 other than the speed and overclockability? Will the .6 ghz really make that much of a difference?
>>45641307
Okay.... I guess I will just give the card to one of my friends
>>45641307
thanks. so I hope it works. one more stupid question. Is this running it every 19 hours or what? I sort of copy and pasted a little bit.
>>45641365
do some reading into the subject
install and play with a vector image editor such as inkscape or illustrator
why is reddit the only half decent place to have e-cig threads and why does /g/ hate on them?
>>45641522
>why does /g/ hate on them?
Because /g/ is being flooded with crappy consumer threads, and e-cigs are just the best example of that.
>>45641522
It used to have decent vapor threads. yeah. mostly just flame dnow. i'd check out reddit for em. but i'm a poor fag and my set up sucks. so may feel jelly. although i've been thinking of stepping up and looking into better coils
>>45638027
You have to go into the specifications.
My computer's been randomly shutting off these past few days. It shuts off and restarts, never displaying an error. Where do I even begin?
>>45637605
What's a Gateway?
Will a coil whine from a graphics card ever go away?
>>45641559
seriously? I'd equate ecig threads to thinkpad threads in terms of consumerism. They're mostly about building shit yourself out of the cheapest parts you can get. Hell, if you wanna talk about consumerist threads on /g/ just look at the endless stream of peripheral threads. Mechanical keyboards get daily threads with 200+ posts but if I wanna know more about how shorting a battery at specific resistances is gonna keep it from exploding in my face, then fuck me? go to hell.
I was going to ask something but i forgot after reading the thread.

>Will a coil whine from a graphics card ever go away?
no
What's a good monitor that I can get for under $250 that i can use for general dicking on the internet and CAD rendering?

Is it worth the trouble to set up yaourt for the AUR on my new arch install?
Is there a site with good general guides and articles about computer stuff? Things like what are SSDs for, how to set up a working system etc.

Why do CFL light bulbs Buzz and turn brown? mine recently is buzzing alot kinda hard and now is in a strong brownish color after a problem whit a circuit breaker.
Ofcourse im going to replace this shit, i already had one turn on fire but i wonder why this happens, i know the buzzing is caused by some magnetism shit but not sure why they turn brown.
>>45641859
>inb4 /g/
anywhere BUT /g/
>>45641845
It's barely trouble to install yaourt man
But in general it is a pain in the ass.
I fucking love yaourt. I use AUR a lot and it is annoying to have to do everything manually.
yaourt -s dwb-git
Dwb of official repos has no flash support but the one in AUR (dwb-git) does.
Just a lot of little shit like that makes yaourt wonderful.
Is there a keygen for windows 8.1 pro keys or something similar? A friend gave me a key so I could install the OS but now I keep getting the annoying activation message.
If you had to choose between the HTC One E8 and the LG G3, which one would you pick? Keep in mind that the G3 is the 3GB of RAM version.

Is it possible to remove a PS/2 connector from a keyboard and splice on a USB? I don't feel like waiting to use my new keyboard and stupid adapter is two weeks away.

Is there an activation grace period before windows starts getting passive aggressive with me?
What is the most secure Linux distro?
What's the go-to CPU to buy right now?
R9 280 btw.
>>45642002
you need to activate it before it even sets up the desktop, so no. I doubt it.
>>45642032
but I'm using it right now and I just get a message every few hours saying windows needs to activate because my current product key is registered in use.
>>45642053
I don't know. I saw on /g/ a couple days ago a list of product keys for various software for sale on reddit that I was planning on using for my own Windows 8.1 but now I can't find the page.
>>45642151
oops, that was supposed to say "I don't know how long windows 8.1 will give you before it goes to shit without activation." I missed a couple words.
How do I get nsfw/sfw mascots to work with appchan x?

I just finished putting my PC parts up and as this is my first build, I'm surprised that the computer actually turned on. However, the fans that came with my case aren't spinning but the Intel stock fan is. Should the chasis fans start running right from startup? I haven't put in any bootable devices so I'm on a screen prompting me to do so.
i set my pagefile limit to be no more than 2 gbs yet when i play battlefield 4 msi afterburner says its using 6 gbs of pagefile. what gives??
