I am planning on doing SLI in an mATX build. Is this a bad idea? The cards will need to be right up next to each other and will have little breathing room.
What's the difference between mail.yandex.com and mail.yandex.ru? will I get both @yandex.ru and @yandex.com if I register only on mail.yandex.com?
I registered a @yandex.com email already but I noticed it lets me enter even if I write .ru instead .com in the login form, so I was wondering if I can receive mails on both @yandex.com and @yandex.ru since they seem to be the same.

So I have a PlayStation TV and it has the notorious PSU issue where every once in a while the screen goes black for a second or two. Sometimes it doesn't happen for days of 8h+/day use, and when it does happen, sometimes it's just once and sometimes it's a few times.
Does this seem to be an issue with the capacitors? Or is it something I can't do anything about? Hell I wouldn't mind using an ATX PSU and just tossing it behind the TV if it'll fix it
>>51417436
>The cards will need to be right up next to each other and will have little breathing room.
Yes, that is a bad idea.

Not sure whether to pull the trigger and buy a rMBP or just buy a sub-1000€ laptop. I do music production as a hobby and play WoW, but that's about it.

You can play WoW on pretty much any shitbook so I wouldn't hold any laptop to that standard, but music production wise an rMBP would be nice for CoreAudio alone.

Yes, you can run OS X with 3rd party kexts hacked together to make it work on non-Apple hardware, but think about it; does this really sound like a good idea for an operating system you're actually working in?
>>51417387
I'm gonna answer my own question and say no. I found the same item from a different seller for the same price with less of a warranty and the reviews were saying that the drives had already been run for 4+ years non stop and come with a 5 year warranty when new. I'll spend $20 extra per drive and get lower end new ones that come with a 2 year warranty.

I'm just having trouble justifying paying 2000€ for it, otherwise I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I have more than enough saved for it, but I've never spent that much on anything before.
The 13" models are cheaper, but I hate small screens, and considering this will be my main machine for the next year probably then I'd rather go for a 15", which is also more enjoyable for producing music.

Depends on what games you play, what games you want to play and what resolution you run at.
>>51418131
>what games you play
Witcher 3, Fallout 4 (for now), SC2, MGSV, other shit like that. I play vidya.
>what games you want to play
the same ones, I run pretty much all of them at ultra/extreme/high (surprisingly Witcher 3 runs the smoothest at maxed out settings sans hairworks)
>what resolution you run at

one of my computer fans broke and doesn't appear to have any numbers/brands on it
how do I identify it so as to order a replacement?
>>51417645
Not him, but I feel I should interject here that my hackintosh (running el capitan, fully updated, etc...) has an uptime of 15 days or thereabouts. Even my "proper" Apple rMBP's uptime report is (maybe coincidentally) shorter than that.
>>51418369
My iMac running 10.11 beta sees 30 day uptimes regularly
>>51418377
My point isn't "look at my uptime e-peen", the direction you seem to have gone in, but "my hackintosh has been stable, as illustrated by a ~2-week uptime".
>>51418405
Yes, hackintoshes can be stable. But that doesn't mean it's as stable as vanilla OS X on intended hardware.
>>51418362
Measure the height of the fan (top of the bezel to the bottom of the bezel) - it'll probably be 90mm or 120mm. Just order a good one that's the same size, they're not form factored on desktops. Some good brands are Noctua ($$$) and Cooler Master ($).
>>51418362
is it a case fan? look up your case model or get any aftermarket fan that fits
Just got one of these, was considering putting W10 on it.
Opinions?
How easy is it to switch back to 8 once I decide 10 is bad?
>>51418419
That may be true in the theoretical sense, but in a practical sense where we weigh the trade-off of stability for the price difference, is that marginal difference sufficient that someone who wants to save maybe 40% on a desktop shouldn't even consider a hackintosh?
I would argue no.
While I agree that hackintoshes on laptops are still so hacky that it wouldn't be viable, if I didn't have a rMBP or a desktop, but knew everything I knew now, and was told to go build a desktop, I would be comfortable buying components according to the Tonyetc... guide and running a hackintosh setup. Sure, I'd be marginally more self-aware regarding backups and stuff, but I wouldn't consider the stability loss (e.g. reasonably expecting 29-day uptimes compared to 30-day) to be enough to justify warning away from it, the way others do.
There's a general sense that hackintoshes are really hacky, and my hunch is that people who say this either
- used hackintoshes back when 10.6 or 10.7 was out, or
- tried to retcon their computer into a hackintosh
if you start out (even just marginally) aware of the compatible hardware when you're buying, hackintosh setups in 2015 are *very* stable.
How to fix micro sd card under linux?

So is it busted for good? and is there any hope for the data on it?
>>51418531

also, have you tried "sudo mount /dev/sdb somedier"?

I want to access my PC at home to stream movies/series from whereever I am (WAN).
How would I go about doing this or what programs would you recommend?
>>51418584
yup, ur fucked, still, try mounting it as root from the command line, no gui shit
might be that you don't have the necessary packages installed or your kernel has certain filesystems disabled (which you need to mount)
>>51418569
Should I rundosfsck -a /dev/sdb?
I know for sure that it was formatted FAT32.
Also I'm not sure how the issue started.
I copied some files on it when it was connected to my linux box, But when I connected it to my Xbox it wouldn't get recognized.
So it's either my linux caused it, since FAT32 on sd card have known issue with hotplug, or xbox caused because it was micro sd card.
>>51418634
sshfssshfs user@host:path-to-media-dir mountpoint
mpv mountpoint/foo_movie.mkv
I think it does stream and just doesn't download the entire file and then play it
>>51418655
>root from the command line, no gui shit
I tried that.
Still got read error.
>the necessary packages installed or your kernel has certain filesystems disabled
Like what? I could mount it perfectly before.
Just bought my first ever Android phone and whilst getting my first few apps, with the phone connected to my laptop and using the Google Play store on the laptop, I'm pretty sure it's just using my mobile data. So how do I download Android apps to my computer, then transfer them to the phone?

>>51418710
The answer is in the question
>>51418736
Then you will need to Google for the app, the extension is usually .apk with larger games also coming with /obb folders or files. Obb go into ./android/obb and the .apk can be anywhere, usually the downloads folder so they're easy to find and will install OK if you find the setting in the phone to allow installations from other sources than play store.

>>51418714

Why is that?
Shouldn't it be the linux machine since it was the last device it was connected to when coping data?

HOLY BALLS, that snake..That can't be real?
I just a quick question. How the fuck do I force borders on no-border windows on Windows 10? I have a game here that when switched to windowed mode has no borders enabled and to make things worse is in front of every other program, sometimes even the task manager. I remember using a program once where you could fuck around with the window settings on win7 but that was ages ago. Anyone any suggestions, links or whatever? Thanks
Hello!
I moved in a new place and I now own a new ADSL2+ subscription.
It was a up to 20MB contract, the line syncs at 17200 kbps, effective connection is a 14MB. Fine by me, but I'm kind of worried about the packet loss: over 5000 pings, I lose between 1% and 2% of them. Should I fiddle with the settings (I have a DGN2200 with amod firmware) or is this pretty much what should an average line achieve?
i installed baidu antivirus to remove a shillware i accidentally installed on my pc.
now the antivirus start itself on startup, even if i explicitely unchecked the start on startup box. it also generate 1.5 seconds of freeze everytime i switch tab on firefox.
i can uninstall or find a way to remove its start on startup, but i am curious about knowing /g/ opinion on how trustworthy it is.
Computer is running progressively slower and sometimes it lag/freezes for while and when that happens the volume keeps dropping 30 points out 100 and going back to where it was.
I think the lag lag/freeze is because my CPU is probably on it's final days. It happens both on windows and MInt
But what the fuck does the audio have to do with it?
I makes no sense to me...

Hello /g/
Does anyone have experience of using external graphics processor via Thunderbolt (1 gen)?
As I can see, the bandwith of 10 GBit/s won't bottleneck PCIe 2.0 x16, so it could be possible to use almost any modern graphics card with laptop…
Is there a nice aftermarket box with descent PSU? Or should I simply buy an expansion card and power it with simple ATX PSU?

Android-related questions
-I want every picture I take to be uploaded to my cloud as soon as I take it, and much to my pleasant surprise, my Dropbox account is doing the job via the Dropbox app. The problem is that as soon as my phone has low battery it completely stops uploading stuff. I can't find the option to turn it off but if there's another alternative that lets me take pictures and uploads them automatically with no battery restrictions I would like to know them.
Of course I WILL keep my phone at full charge from now on, but there's going to be a point in which I will not have the chance to do it so, and I want to be prepared for that.

Do I have to build the .dll myself? How do I do that? If I try to build it, it tells me I can't (cause it's a class library).
What should I use to activate Windows 7 Ultimate nowadays?
Windows 8 laptop can connect to literally any network except for my home one that multiple of my devices can connect to with no issues. Tried disabling MAC filtering, removing all security alltoggether, rebooting, resetting the router, deleting the network from the laptop, sucking a nice cock. Nothing worked at all. Please help Im foaming at the mouth right here.
Running Mint 17.2.
Auto login is set up correctly. No need to type in the password at the system startup.
However I have to type it in always after the screen is turned off. I want to stay with the screen going black but don't want to retype my pass.
What do?
>>51422369
Disable screen saver
Ik it's not called screen saver but I know there's a setting that sounds like it

Thank you Anon.
Going to dual boot Windows and Linux. Only thing I'm going to use Windows with is some Adobe software and games.
Should I just use Windows 10 or go with 8? I have been running into issues with 7, shittier high DPI support and stuff.
What is a good laptop?
Planning to use it to play games(Low settings@1080p@45FPS) and a office machine.
I have $600 and 6 free hours in my university between classes and i would like to do something on that time.

Weight and size doesn't matter.
So I have 3 computers in the household, and one has wildly different speed than the other 2.
On running speed tests, my desktop and a laptop have around 10-10.5 download speed and 2.7-2.9 upload speed consistently, with 43 ping. This other desktop has only 2.4-3 mbps downloads and 1.9 upload speed.
All of these results are consistent across multiple weeks, so its not some freak occurrence. Is there anyway to bring the other desktop up to the same speed as my other computers?

I wanted to draw an audio waveform in Processing, but minim won't play certain wav files so I need another library.
Aside from making a waveform display, I only really need play/stop for wav and maybe mp3 files. Could live without mp3, actually.
I'm trying to run mpv and youtube-dl on Windows, but I don't know which one to run first, if that even is the right choice of action.
They're in the same directory, but nothing happens when I run mpv and youtube-dl.exe.

Hey guys im a newbie to SQL and PHP (and programming in general) and im making a quiz website with a daily question. what is the best way to restrict a user from entrering a value in to the DB more than once a day. lets say we have a username, question and a timestamp collums.
im thinking about doing something like "get every entry for x username and if datetoday == timestamp-collum" are both true then execute code. but how would i implement this?
Does installing new GPU drivers delete the old ones automatically after they are uninstalled? 200 MB is no joke.
>>51423186
Uninstall old ones just to be sure.
>>51422531
if you're thinking about pirating - don't go 10
>>51422931
might start with wget -S www.4chan.org
>>51423183
basicly
if username and datestamp already exist in db do not insert the row or delete the old one. Does anyone know how do implement this?
should it be a script cleaning db every now and then or should i do a check in the php code before query() it into the db??
>>51423389
of course you should check before insert..

I accidentally deleted the partition on my phones micro sd card. Is there a way to recover any of the files on it? It does not show up on windows file explorer and the storage data doesn't show up in any phone I place it in. But the app used to delete the partition (Aparted) can still read the micro sd card.
I haven't written anything on it since and it still seems to be functional. I just want to see if I can retrieve anything before I restore the partition and format.
>>51423496
Isn't that wireless?
And I can't really find a cheap one in my country unfortunately.
Hey /sqt/ I was dining and dashing the other day but as I was on my way out of the parking lot I saw someone (probably an employee) snap a picture of my license plate. Can they do anything to me? I think it's the third time I'd done it at that particular restaurant but they can't prove it can they? Just a picture of a license plate doesn't prove anything, if the cops come can't I just deny it and it's my word against theirs?

Why is the game render pushed from the window like that? The different options don't really make a difference. Happens in several games.

today I started up computer, and some of my programs restarted themselves.
qbittorent had all torrents unchecked and stopped, some other settings restart to factory value
foobar had all visual settings restarted, but playlists and keybinds were fine
firefox wanted confirm restoration of pages and some other bullshit
w7 reported critical failure "unpredicted restart", but i didn't noticed anything. Computer was off the power whole time.
What happened? Did that piece of shit just chimped out, or it's serious?
>>51423762
Sounds like it didn't shut down nicely last time, sometimes can cause program data to get corrupted
>>51423762
you shouldn't be helped for using that picture you selfish piece of shit
>>51423774
Well shit.
Looks I'm spending this evening ricing foobar. Again.
>>51423802
is this better?
>>51423816
I might recommend you try running chkdsk first, it might be able to restore some stuff.
Though then again when you relaunched the programs it might have overwrote the corrupt data with new ones so maybe not. I usually like to symlink my config files for important stuff into Dropbox in case of just this thing happening. Having my uTorrent wiped one time was hella gay.

question/problem I think /g/ might be able to help me with
today I decided to switch out my SATA cable on my SSD because it kept freezing once every 24 hours or so, just randomly while doing whatever (be it under load or idle). after switching the cable, I noticed the SSD didn't show up in the boot order in BIOS anymore, but it still booted and worked perfectly fine. It showed up under My Computer and works perfectly, im even typing this from the OS installed on the SSD. after a bit of fiddling around I realised that the only disk that the BIOS was picking up was the one plugged into SATA port 1, the others aren't picked up by the BIOS but still work (such as my 1TB Western Digital HDD) under WIndows, and even show up if I force the boot selection window during POST (F11 on my machine). They just will not show up in the BIOS boot order.
my mobo is an MSI H97 Gaming 3. so far i've:
- tried all the other SATA ports
- flashed the BIOS to the latest version available on the MSI website
- changed BACK to the old cable
and the drives that are NOT in SATA1 still wont show up. but they work perfectly, and I am able to boot from them (theoretically, they do not have an OS installed on them), if I force the boot selection option during POST.
so TL;DR: disks show up in boot selection (F11 during post) and in the BIOS under "Hard drive BBS priority") but DO NOT show up under boot order (both the graphical one in the Click Bios 4 that MSI uses or the text one). ONLY the disk that I connect to the SATA1 port shows up.
is this simply a BIOS bug or some shit?
I want to install arch but when I tried in the past on a virtual machine, it worked well, while installing it on the actual machine didn't: nuovo driver shit crashing at boot, wireless card not being supported, dual booting problems
So I used the evolution installer and it worked.
Now I wanna do it again, but evolution seems canned. Is there anything like evolution for arch out there?
>>51423750
Yes you can I've done it before. Use a hex editor to look for the partition headers. You could probably use xdd to search for the header every 1MiB.

Sorry for this really shitty question, but is there any proxy or method to get past "human verification surveys"?
I need to download something specific which I cannot do because of a "survey" I must fill up. It is not a problem giving away a fake email, but ALL surveys I get request for my mobile number, which doesn't "complete" the survey even if I put my number anyway (It's genuinely from our telecommunications provider, no money or details to lose).
I tried using a certain (XJZ) "survey remover" bookmarklet to remove the survey, but this doesn't work. The supposed download link is generated only after completion.
I tried using a proxy (both web-based and through options), as surveys from other countries only ask for email for completion. But proxies ruin Javascript and Flash stuff that the survey wants.
How to work around this?
>>51424114
They are usually just scams to get users to hand over personal details, Anon.

Is there a way to increase the render resolution of pc games like you can with emulators?
I have some older games that would look fantastic like this
>>51424341
If you put in the effort, possibly.
>>51424356
Should I take some kind of preparation before? I'm willing to spend my holidays and vacation studying it.
>>51424352
That's basically what you're doing by setting the in-game resolution setting higher. Some older games might need a hack to support higher resolutions though, and don't expect 2D assets or textures to improve any.
>>51424316
>http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Private-Channel-in-IRC
How exactly does this work?
Would this stay mine/private?
Also, how would I do this on WeeChat?
>>51424369
You should, but you don't necessarily need it.
>>51424431
It literally creates an invite-only IRC channel. If you want to directly own the channel, consider setting up an IRC server.
>>51424438
Thanks s-senpai.
>>51424392
The games I'm looking at only support 640x480
How do I obtain these hacks?
>>51424464
But where does it create it? On the mirc network (if it even has one)?
As apparantly all 4chan irc's are hosted on rizon, I'm going to try that.
>>51424519
On the network you decide to join.
>>51424137
Welp. I'll be straightforward and say that I wanted to view private Instagram accounts. No viable way to achieve this without a survey (at least for us)

Should I put my Thinkpad in hibernate or shut it down at the end of the day? What is better hardware-wise?

>>51424851
Shut it down so that you don't rape your hard drive so much. Technically hibernation is also a security risk, because it dumps the RAM to disk.
I've not used hibernation in a long time, and frankly I don't need to when SSDs are so fast anyway.

You could try running take ownership on literally everything google it its a nifty 'hack'
>>51425324
Yeah, and all those Linux distros are mostly open source and easy to pull code from various places. Making a whole OS from scratch is very difficult. Windows is just different because it's been around for a long time, so they have their own proprietary code base to dip into instead.
