I've never used cron before, and even after doingman cronand looking all over the internet, I'm not sure why this fucking task won't run. This is what I have in my crontab:00 * * * * /usr/bin/overviewer --config=/root/overviewer/default
It's supposed to run every hour of every day that the system is on, at 00 minutes, eg. 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, etc.
Why is it not? If the code completed, I would have a page on my website that would actually load, and it doesn't, meaning the html that the code generates was, well, not generated.
Anyone have experience with cron? it's a fickle little bitch.
>I also tried putting a script in /etc/cron.hourly, and that doesn't work either.

So, I work at a Radioshack store that is partnered with Sprint and I just heard the Sprint guy tell a customer something that sounded like complete horseshit.
Basically, their Samsung marketing rep told them to tell customers that the reason the new Galaxy phones don't have SD cards is because their researchers found that having an SD card "slowed down" the phone and reduced performance.
Something about "read-write speeds affecting memory access".
To me, it sounds like marketing buzzwords to convince people to buy the new phones. A way for them to attempt to convince customers that they were justified in removing features.
>>51362365
Samsung is a bloated shit, you are right it's bullshit. I bet my ass that using class 10 sd cards there is no perceptible effect.
Any really good deals coming up on something I might want around $150-200?
>>51363050
Pls help
>>51362365
and your question is?
SD card can't slow down the performance of a device as long as it's used with it's purpose ie a storage solution.
Large applications installed on a SD card or ones that have to acces large portions of themselves from an SD card can be slowed down because SD cards should in theory be slower than the built in flash storage.
But having one for music, photos and videos?
Absolutely not.

But the problem is that when i do the latter another window of firefox opens 20 seconds later. Its the same when opening links from say skype, game chats emails etc. Anyone know whats causing this or how i can completely start fresh with firefox?

What you have to do is build a new PC from scratch.
A new motherboard will give you better upgrade options, change PSU to incease lifespan, CPU is fine even talking about amd shitposting but i would recommend you to switch to a I5 and get a 1150 socket motherboard instead an AM3+ motherboard based on what you do.

It's the only re-used part in my PC, could switching to a 970 board (chipset not gpu) remove my performance hitches?
And I won't switch to an i5 because I don't do anything too demanding and I wouldn't benefit from such a huge investment.
My most demanding activity is probably CS:GO
>>51364143
well then you cant just "copy" windows. You can clone a drive if youre using a hdd as your os drive but not if your using an ssd. Just pirate 8, install it and update to 10 for free. First time building a pc you always worry about the os being pirated or not i think. Happy 16th btw!

Hello guys. I have a question and I know you guys are brutally honest on your answers. It's gonna be long winded but please bear with me
I have a very old PC that I build in 2011 I think. It's a Phenom II x3 (4th core unlocked) with a Radeon 6850 video card. Used it as a WoW rig but now I don't play that much games as I would like to but still play Dota2, Hots, Hon, and some backlog games like Tomb Raider, Arkham City etc.
Recently, I kind of want to play some titles like GTA V and Fallout 4 but as you would have realized, these can only be played in the absolute lowest settings in my PC with like, 20 fps. Anyways, I am very very cash starved right now and can't really upgrade my PC sadly, but here's a weird opportunity that presented
My neighbor is moving to Europe and he's looking to get rid of his PC which, funnily, is as old as mine. I checked his PC and I can't really use most of his parts except maybe the RAM, and get this, HE HAS A GTX 760. He said he bought it 1 1/2 year ago but he seldom used it
He's selling the whole thing for $100 CAD. So, the question is, is it worth it? Would I get some decent performance boost on my PC if I just salvage the video card and put it on mine?
Thanks and sorry for the wall of text
>>51364469
It would be an increase if it was legit, but is the guy knowledgeable? Is he trustworthy? Do you know him personally? Do you know for a fact that he only uses it seldomly? Did he overclock the thing?
When it comes to second hand hardware there's a lot more to it than just "oh it's a better gpu than mine"
>>51364546
Just some hi's and hellos casually. Small talks etc. He didn't overclock it and I don't think he lied when he told me so. And I don't think he games because when I try and do small talk on new games and Blizzcon and The International he doesn't recognize any of it.
He said it was a gift and just slapped it in.
What would be the best thing for me to upgrade for the money? My budget is ~$200 (The graphics card is the 7850 btw)
>>51364232
a 17 year old wouldnt use his dads computer. A 15 year old would lie about it. Everyone gets their first computer at 16 anyway.

I have about 600gb of stuff to backup. 99% of this are things that I probably won't edit or delete, so it should be pretty remain static for the most part.
I just want to confirm that if I use an automated backup solution like attic or something, so that backups are made every day, the entire history of backups shouldn't grow much faster than the original data, right?
That is to say, if I backup everything now, and then add a few gigs of things over the next few months, the entire backup archive, including history, should also only increase by a few gigs, right?

step one is check out the laws and regulations where you live especially if you live in town or a city, or you could end up paying a hefty fine and losing your chickens

I had this issue once and it was because I didn't plug in the 4-pin CPU connector.
It could also be that your PC is booting but the GPU can't puke the pixels at your screen.
Try onboard graphics or some old gpu you may have lying around to test this
It'd be real depressing if you tried this with yet another dead gpu and discarded this so try to find one you are certain that works

CPUs are some of the most hardy and resilient parts of a computer, especially if treated properly. Pretty much everything else will break inside a PC before a CPU.
I have a weird problem. The num lock led on my notebook is dimmer than the others.
I opened it up and the other LEDs on the motherboard are colored different, they're bright yellow whereas the num lock one is a darker shade of yellow.
Is it dying? Should I be worried about the motherboard too? I looked up some pictures of it and I'm fairly sure this isn't normal.
Is there any advantage to using T-Mobile over MetroPCS? I have a Moto G 2014 so I will be using HSPA+.
Why do some motherboards have 2, 3, or 4 pin s/pdif headers?
What's a good cheap drawing tablet to fuck around on?
>>51365341
The motherboard is pretty much irrelevant for performance. Just pick one that can fit all the parts and has all the features you want and have a look around the internet to make sure there are no known issues with that model.
If you want to OC, make sure it has a decent BIOS/UEFI and have a look at its power delivery section, generally you want it to be pretty beefy and have proper heatsinks for cooling.
>>51365672
2 pins are just the signal and ground
3 pins generally are signal, ground and power (+5V AFAIK) and are used for boards that may also provide an optical output and/or the signal is being level-shifted by some active circuitry (connection the signal and ground pins directly to a S/PDIF input may break the devices in this case, don't unless you're sure the signal is at the proper voltage)
No idea about 4 pins
>>51365748
So what good is a 2 pin when all the adapters seem to want power?
I once installed a custom theme for windows 7 on windows 8 and while it didnt work it did change some system settings like the highlight color from blue to a green with a hue similar to that in the op image.

So all of a sudden my isp which is an australian one has been banned i think but its not an individual ban, just a blanket ban. I wonder why
>>51365797
All my shit has 3 pin headers, but I imagine a 2 pin header would most likely connect straight up to another device's input from an electrical point of view. So you'd just need to connect a typical RCA jack to those pins and you have your S/PDIF output.

OK thanks. For me I bought the motherboard without realizing it didn't have the back connector, but it has the two pin connector. They sell brackets that plug into that connector, but they seem to be 3 pin with the third pin being as you said 5v. On the Amazon reviews it looks like people are just plugging it into a empty usb 2 power.

I've been really patient about this up until now but I can't stand it anymore.
I've had so many issues with using displayport on my monitors. I have 2 dell u2414h and one u2415.
On all three of them whenever I connect with displayport in any way (including trying to daisy chain them.) they constantly blink to black over and over, sometimes more frequently than other times.
My GPU is a sapphire R9 290 so it has 2 dvi, 1 hdmi, and 1 DP. Connecting to either of the dvi ports or the hdmi port works fine.
I've tried installing the drivers for the monitors. i upsated my GPU drivers. I've tried buying new displayport cables from a trusted displayport vendor (accel).

>>51366316
I've had the exact same shit happen to me with the new 4K monitor I bought. It was either completely black or blinking. In my case it was the cable. I was using some cable I had used with my U2713HM which worked completely fine with that monitor at that resolution, but I couldn't get 4K until I used the one that came with the new monitor.
Try lower resolutions on the DP monitor, see if that fixes anything.
My cards are 290X CF with the same display connectors.
>>51366613
Kinda defeats the purpose of having a large monitor if you can't use it at it's native resolution.
So you think it might be the cable then? should I just shell out for another cable from some other brand?

I just got an email from my host saying that I've been maliciously scanning another host, which I obviously haven't. A friend helped me set up my firewall, and I THOUGHT it was blocking all outgoing connections except when it's responding to something. Did I fuck up iptables, or is there some way for them to make me scan someone else?
http://pastebin.com/sRY0g8A9 is my firewall.
Can someone with Steam in home streaming/nvidia gamesteam/moonlight test out the second life viewer? i'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a headless gtx 950/i3-6100 box to stream to my laptop, but i would like to make sure that one of my most used applications will work.

I used to be interested in SL, but it was always just way too complicated and unpolished to DO anything in. Is there much going on, or is it more of a community thing for you?
>>51369891
More of a social/entertainment thing for me. I mainly just use a scripted HUD to teleport to random simulators and see what's going on there. Other than that, I just dress up my virtual qt and DJ at a club occasionally.
SL has a stupidly annoying learning curve and a lot of stuff is just simply counterintuitive. I still love it, though.

Yeh, it was definitely a pain to get anything done. Although, to be fair, most of what I tried to do DID require the RLV.
I've been putting off choosing a laptop for 15 months now due to stress. Could anybody just straight up recommend 5 good laptops from $1000-$1500? I can't get a mac because it's too embarrassing.
Hey gee!
I've been working on a small Python project that cuts up images in tiles. I would like to calculate the average brightness of each image. I already wrote the scripts to do that.
So what I am thinking now is to create some sort of database to link the brightness values to the paths. Shall I use CSV? Or is there a better way? I have roughly 1500 images x 216 = 324000 images that should total to around 6.5GB.

>How can I test browser support for my webpage?
If you use an WYSIWYG editor, there most likely is a function built-in to open the webpage in the specified browser, which you have to have installed anyway.
>For example how fast my page would load with a 56kbps connection?
You can literally calculate that yourself. Also, if you have to think about such a thing, you should disable all JavaScript.

Thanks dood, I just thought there was some website that could test that.
Root question. I got a Note 2 running CM12.1, but for some reason, Titanium Backup says it can't get root privileges. It says it ran the command from system/xbin/su or something like that. Anyone had this problem before?

I'm learning assembly for Comp Architecture and this line in my decryption program still confuses me:
xor buffer[esi],al
I understand what's happening of course. The AL register is receiving data from 0x000000CE which happens to be the key needed for decryption. Now, why is it that the register is visually empty, or rather shows as a '??' for its contents. buffer happens to be the encrypted message. [esi] of course being the number of times through the loop, looping for each character. But how does buffer[esi] get me there? The syntax is confusing me.

Yep, you're boned. That said, the minimums especially for intel CPUs are way overstated, upgrading to a cheap used Core 2 Quad for $30-40 and a ~$65 GPU such as a R7 250 should make it play good enough at low settings.

If I'm not mistaken, you only check if a variable is 2 (-n checks if it's nonzero and -e checks for equality).

What's the point of all these Firefox forks such as ice weasel or whatever its called. Am I doing something wrong by using default Firefox?
So for the longest time I have this problem.
On my home internet connection (router [in bridge mode] -> modem) I have this issue where some pages simply won't work in Firefox, Chrome, etc, with the exception of Edge (seems to be fucking up as well lately)
I have completely no idea what is wrong, and seeing as I'm not retarded I've tried switching dns servers, checking out different settings on the network card, blocking ipv6, etc etc but to no avail.
The problem is that much weirder that in any network OTHER than mine, my laptop works completely fine with every single browser on the previously mentioned websites.
Any idea what could be the problem? My iPhone/other devices load the pages flawlessly.

Can't do that:
1. Router I connect to doesn't even have dd-wrt available for it (I checked)
2. Router/modem combo that is the actual thing connected to the internet is running custom software from my ISP (It's Cisco stuff modified), but I'm not going to risk it.
The thing is, it's not that!
