I'm trying to figure out if building a gaming pc will cost less money in the long run as opposed to buying an xboxone or ps4.
Building a pc could cost over $1000 if I want to do it right. Where buying a console costs closer to $400
However, PC games sell cheaper and there are frequent sales on steam that cut the cost on these games.
Here's the question. what happens when it's time to upgrade again? I either buy a new console for $400-$500 or I upgrade my pc. In addition to buying more RAM, what should I expect to pay for upgrading my gaming PC to handle next gen spec'd games? will it cost more or less than just buying a new console?
What is the best cleaner app for android?
>>52704361
People with a Core 2 Quad and a DX11-capable GPU are fine with games nowadays.
Core 2 Quads were out in 2007.
First DX11 cards were out in 2010 (NVIDIA "Thermi" GTX400 series / AMD Radeon HD 5000 series)
Saying that two sticks of 2GB DDR2 are priced 20$ each, it makes 40$ for a 4GB RAM upgrade, which is still less than an AAA title on a "new-gen" console.
Is there a site where I can compare a fuck load of video cards all against each other
>>52704361
You can easily built a PC for $400 that is faster than a console.

Yesterday I did my first computer upgrade. I replaced 2x2gbRam sticks with 1 8gb stick and now my games and programs are crashing.
the rams i replaced were both DDR3 and the 8gb was also DDR3. Ive been reading information online and ive read it could be that the ram timing is off or to change an option in BIOS to enable the "flexibility option"
I can see the ram is improving speed but most programs eventually crash now. I don't want to tweak anything for fear of breaking it.

I'm tempted almost, but I'm just looking for something to watch videos and read comics, so I'm not sure a thinkpad is the best for that. Woudln't thinkpads have worse battery life?

VLC on GNU + Linux typically does not require any codec packs. The codecs supported depend on the settings with which VLC was compiled; on systems with binary packages, such as Ubuntu GNU + Linux, support for all codecs is compiled in, along with all other options.

What's the failure rate difference on Western Digital 1TB and 2TB drives?
Is it better to go with two 1TB drives or a single 2TB drive?
How do I improve signal quality?
>>52706985
That mostly depends on the specific drives, but in general larger has higher failure rate.
>Is it better to go with two 1TB drives or a single 2TB drive?
That depends on what you're using the drive(s) for
Having two drives running would be a waste of power when you only need one, but would be less problematic if you space out your data so if one fails it's not a total loss.
I'm storing music on my home server which I access using NFS when I'm at home and SSHFS when I'm out.
Currently, I'm using Quod Libet for playback and generating libraries. Of course, the library is stored locally and there's a lot of traffic when refreshing the library whenever I'm adding new songs (which is particularly annoying when connected via WAN).
My first idea would be to try running an instance of Quod Libet on the server, let that handle the generation and refreshing of libraries and have the local clients use that library. This seems a bit roundabout though, so my question is if there's music software that is made for the purpose of accessing music on a remote server.

The only thing they really have in common is the name.
VSync more or less tells your GPU to take a break if it finishes early.
G-Sync is an nvidia technology that can only be used with specific (overpriced) monitors. What G-Sync does make your monitor only refresh when a new frame is ready.
Overall my own opinion is that G-Sync isn't worth it.
Games will look better (no tearing) with either. With G-Sync there will also be less stuttering in theory.
Can i make my passwords more secure like this?
Let's say my password consists of letters, numbers and special characters and is 16 characters long.
Can i just add 1234567890 at the end of it to increase the length of my password or will it become easier to bruteforce?
example, which one is easier to bruteforce:
k%13cSe81hX!!Xko
or
k%13cSe81hX!!Xko1234567890
It should be the latter one because it's 26 characters long right?

I was thinking about using my old Desktop-pc again for everyday use and install Linux on my laptop. But I think the Mainboard is dead, since it won't power on anymore. No sign of life, no fans starting, not even the PSU fan starting. But through connecting the pins of the 24-pin connector I can make the PSU work, so I'm guessing it's the Board.
Now I wonder, whether to spend some bucks on a LGA775 MoBo (maybe buying used stuff from ebay?) + a graphics card.
The other option would be to buy a new Build for about 500€ (i3 6100, 16gb ram, gtx 750, 128gb SSD). But I don't know whether that is overkill.
90% of the time I use my laptop to shitpost, watch netflix or porn. Rest is gaymen but mostly older stuff like Stalker or CS:GO.
Old Parts are:
>Intel C2Duo Q8200
>2x 2gb DDR2 Ram @667MHz CL4
>2x Western Digital WD6400AAKS 640gb 7200rpm
>PSU 500W
>PCI wlan card that I'd like to use
>MoBo is pic related
What's your opinion? Buy LGA775 MoBo + suitable graphics card or fuck the old shit and start a new era?

So if I were to SSH into 200 different machines, 1 after another and and then ping 4chan.com, The last machine I SSH'd into would ping, then send the results to the previous machine, and so on and so on all the way back to me?
Or would it just know to skip all of them and go back to me directly?
>>52707990
Because no sd card limits you to storage size they choose, which isn't a selling feature, but the limited size sucks because of the apparent high file size associated with higher quality camera pics and videos

>>52707962
When you tell your pc to ssh in to another pc you pipe info from console input to the other pc via tcp/ip and you pipe info from console output of the other pc to your console output via tcp/ip. Might be UDP/IP but the idea is the same. So when you type ping 4chan.org that command gets piped in to the console input of the remote machine. The remote machine interprets it like it would a keyboard. So it executes the command ping 4chan.org. Since the local machine is not interpretting only piping it never executes the command. The remote machine makes up some ping packets and uses it's MAC address and IP address in the packet header since that's what it would do if a keyboard inputted the command locally. The first gateway that packet comes to will replace the MAC address with its own but will leave the IP address untouched.
SSH to a remote machine and then SSH into another just pipes the input and output through two pipes but only the end machine is going to executing anything but a command to SSH in to another machine.
>>52707990
I have 1, can't think of anything to complain about it. But i'm not a phone nut like some of the other people on here.
Its nice.
>>52708036
i guess yes, but the ping would obv suffer.
>>52708087
*i mean the request would pipe along all those SSH's until it gets to your pc
>>52708036
the results of the ping function would be returned through all 200 machines. The only IP 4chan knows to return is the last machine in the chain. So it sends the pong back to that one. The only IP the end machine knows is the one that sshed in to it and 4chan.org. The only IP is...
and you see how it goes.

Yes, and it's rather trivial. You just treat the USB device like any regular old drive.

Add any other partition on free space and you can store stuff on there too.

Can I run a CHKDSKfrom a USB liveboot? My windows 7 laptop can't go into hibernate anymore and since the battery life sucks now it's a real hassle.
Whenever I try to run a CHKDSK it automatically cancels. I found the hotfix for it from Microsoft and installed it but nothing happened.There's a system restore point from a few days before it started screwing up but the restore won't work unless CHKDSK is run...which auto-cancels.
CHKDSK works on the diagnostics in my BIOS but the boot drive isn't an option. I've already done the whole powercfg thing and nothing worked out either.
At this point I'm scratching my head.

I need a laptop that will let me do digital design since Dell fucked me by completely abandoned support for my XPS 17 after three years of owning it. A 15-17 inch is what I prefer. I really have a bad taste in my mouth for Dell now. I really want to get a laptop that keeps value and support over time, like if I needed a battery or updated drivers a few years after owning It I know they exist.
What laptop should I get? I know I could get a last gen mbp easily around $1,000. Pricy, but it is in my ballpark and does what I want. Thoughts?

What piece of hardware decides what version of displayport is being used?
Is the connector on the GPU the part that decides it, meaning that if you have a DP 1.1 GPU for example you can never ever get the full benefits of a monitor marketed with DP 1.2 features?
Or is it the other way around? Are all GPU displayports exactly the same, with the big features being handled by the monitor, so even an older GPU, as long as it has DP, can take advantage of those fancy features?
Or is it both? Do both the GPU and the monitor have to be built specifically with DP 1.3 technology in order to take advantage of it?
Also where does one generally find out which version of DP the specific device is using? I tried looking it up and it's the most frustrating thing ever. Absolutely no one anywhere ever will straight up say "this monitor/card uses DP 1.2a/1.3/etc" on any spec sheets.
Please help.

>>52712395
It's the DP controller in the GPU. I think it's more of a maximum bandwidth limitation vs what the monitor is asking for (ie 4k)
>Are all GPU displayports exactly the same
No they vary by version, which you even posted
>so even an older GPU, as long as it has DP, can take advantage of those fancy features?
If it's also 1.2 then yes
>Also where does one generally find out which version of DP the specific device is using? I tried looking it up and it's the most frustrating thing ever. Absolutely no one anywhere ever will straight up say "this monitor/card uses DP 1.2a/1.3/etc" on any spec sheets.
From manuals is the only real place. Or you could look at the year the card was designed, and make your own educated guess based on what DP variant was out at that time

Is there any way to "redirect" the execution of a program in Windows? Let's say that every time a program executes (regardless of parent process), this happens
"c:\program.exe"
but instead I want it to execute
"c:\program 2.exe" "c:\program.exe"
Is there any simple way in Windows to achieve what I want? To clarify again, I want a solution so that this happens regardless of how the process is started, so simply using a shortcut is not an option.

I'm standing in my master bed room right now and this is where my router is located. My laptop straight ahead can't even hold a connection to it and I had to resort to using my hotspot. PS4, 360, PS3 also struggle to connect to the router and have had speeds from 30kbps to 60kbps. I'm just done with Linksys in general. I'll buy anything right now as long as it will hold a signal.

>>52715057

I think with iphones, unless you are sending it to another iphone it automatically converts the picture. Standard MMS quality images are much lower quality than the original most of the time. I know that with any other phone this will be the case but I'm not sure about iphones because I haven't used one since iphone 4.
I have a 27" Korean IPS panel with a pretty decent screen (besides very minor hard to notice defect at top left corner where it's slightly darker on a patch around the size of a fingernail clipping) that I used for a year or two before it died on me. Decided to get a decent brand with an actual warranty to replace it because that kind of bummed me, but is it worth trying to sell the thing? As far as I know the LCD still works just fine, it's just some electronic component that's busted.
If so how much could I reasonably expect to get for it in this state, considering I spent around $300 for it new including international shipping costs?

Oh and to add to this, what you want to do is exactly what the airplane mode does. On all of my nonactive phones, I just turn on airplane mode and then I can manually enable wifi or bluetooth without enabling the cell radio.
>>52715155
Because your original (but possibly working) panel was defective, you probably would not have made more than $20 after seller fees and shipping. Also, I suspect that it would take a long time to move the panel since relatively low demand. I would think of it like this: How much would you pay for a broken monitor with a working but defective panel? Now subtract how much it costs to ship it and that's what you'd make.
How much do good panels of this type go for?
