to that anon with line DSL problems, post the SNR - singal to noise ratio
Reposting my question because we were right in the middle of it
QUESTION:
>DSL Internet locks up for a few seconds every minute or so
>Call Verizon, get told its my router
>Buy a brand new router and modem
>Still hapenning
>Verizon tells me its because i have too many electronics in the house on at once (???)
>Turn some off still happens
>Call a 3rd time
>Tells me my cables are bad
>Point out they are all brand new (including the DLS filter)
>They hang up on me
>Call a 4th time
>Tells me everything is fine with my connection and hangs up on me
>Try a chat session
>Jumps me through hoops, ends up "testing my connection" and will call me back
>Calls me back at midnight
>Tells me everything is fine
>Tell him I am having problems
>"OK" (Hangs up)
WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO. I am ready to blow a fucking gasket. Verizon is the ONLY FUCKING INTERNET PROVIDER NEAR ME AND I NEED RELIABLE HOME INTERNET for work.
And its not just my computer
>Cellphone
>PS3

ALL HAVE THIS ISSUE
What the fuck do I do? Who or how do I escalated this shit so I dont just get some fucking Indian who is just going to hang up on me?
What the flying fuck could even be fucking wrong at this point.
NEXT: Some anon told me to check line Attenuation. Here are my stats
Line Attenuation: 15.0db DOWN 9.1db UP
Noise Margin: 19.9 DOWN 20.7db UP
Really new to programming. There's so much information floating around about platforms and how to implement things, that I have no idea where to begin.
Building a tool in python to crunch some simple numbers according to some already derived beam bending equations.
I can do this in terms of the code, it's quite simple providing I handle exceptions correctly to ensure proper inputs from the user.
Is tkinter the best thing to use to create a GUI? If not, then what?
How can I package my tool for use on other people's computers?
I know python is an interpreted language instead of a compiled one, but can I create a compiled executable for what I'm building?
Mainly so the user doesn't have to have python installed on their system (likely windows)?
Would it be easier to put it on google cloud services and host it as a web application instead? Or maybe even do something with android.
Help, I think I'm overloaded with info at the moment.
I have pic related and it just sucks. Are there better pumps or are they all shit? I don't wanna pay 100$ for a proper desoldering gun
>>51461682
both those values seem ok (you want the noise margin to be 20+, while you want attenuation to be 20 or less for a optimal connection).
it will seem suck eggs, but have you gone about disconnecting every device in your house from the phone lines, and just connecting your router straight in, without using a splitter, just straight to the wall?
What else do you usually have plugged into phone lines in your house and again suck eggs, but does every device plugged into a phoneline in the wall have it's own splitter?
>>51461776
you said it sucks, what is the problem?
>>51461776
Use a desoldering wick/braid
I was using the pump for a while. Then I stopped being a faggot and learnt to use the wick. Best decision.
>tfw No more fucking exploding shitty chinese made pumps, spraying molten and solid solder all over my fucking living room.
If I want to get hardcore in to programming, will I care if I use windows 10 instead of Linux? I only have bad bad experiences with Linux and I'm too poor for apple
>>51461781
The only things that were plugged into the phone line were my Satilite Box (Which is out now) and a Wireless Phone (I got it for free).
(Note: My phone jack I mean into the wall)
The Modem is plugged into one Phone jack (Using a splitter) amd the phone is plugged into an opposite jack (Also using a splitter)
I figured it wouldn't hurt to keep the splitters in, just incise I need to do some rearranging, but what do you think?
I will take a walk and disconnect them both and see what happens. Should I remove the splitters on both/either?

How much current can you safely draw from a cellphone battery?
Assume it's a 3,000 mAh 3.7V lithium-ion battery. I understand drawing 1 amp of current (3.7 watts) is safe but what about 2 amps or 4 amps?
I ask because I'm curious if slapping a 10 watt max tdp CPU on a small 7" tablet is possible without using multiple lithium-ion batteries configurations.
>>51461815
I've tried wick and it's even worse, just gets stuck to the PCB all the time and I didnt manage to desolder anything with it. I desoldered an entire keyboard pcb with the sucker but it took me 2 hours, several tries on each joint it's just super inconsistent.
>>51461786
huehue
>>51461839
it doesn't really matter unless the tools you want to use aren't available for your platform, but really if linux is giving you trouble then you might want to work on your diagnostic and resolution skills or at the very least be aware that it's likely an issue for you and comment the fuck outta your code for when you need to fix/change shit
>>51461843
just do a test by making sure no device is plugged into any phone line, then plugging your router straight in with no splitter. Also yeah, if you ever have a regular phone and a router/modem plugged into a wall you will need a splitter, even if each device is plugged into a separate wall socket. However if you don't have a home phone and only use the phone line for your router you don't need a splitter, same as if you didn't have a router and just plugged a phone in.
Does you home phone experience distortion or drop outs as well?
>>51461850
considering most i5's are sub 3.5 ghz anyway, you'll be fine.
650w psu will be fine. i always buy more watts than i need though. not much more money for a lot more watts should you decide to SLI down the road.
>>51461946
it's unsafe not have to a decent overhead on your PSU power anyway

i got a GTX 960 like 2 months ago and it worked well, but suddenly for no reason that i can think off everything became choppy, mostly MMOs. And i'm not talking drop to 30fps choppy. I mean games that before played in smooth 60 now play in fucking 15fps. How do i check what could have happened? I restored my gpu drivers and i'm starting to think it's CPU's fault but it shouldn't, as i have an i7-4790K running at 4GHz
>>51462054
what do you mean 'restored'?
always uninstall and reinstall.
try an older driver and see if it's better.
>>51461937
Alright will do.
Is there an easy way to test this issue? Right now I have been booting up a game and trying it online every time.
>>51461977
What about pic related?
I've got a simple, stupid question.
My PSU, a Seasonic SSR 750RT, doesn't seem to have a switch to go from 110v to 240v, ie, from North American voltage to New Zealand voltage.
It does however say the voltage range is 100-240v, does this mean that I don't need to manually switch to 240v; it'll just be fine if I plug it into a NZ socket without a step-down transformer or something?
Why is ARM such a piece of shit? I thought it was suppose to replace x86 but it didn't. Instead it's used in miniature facebook machines which are using intel chips more and more (zenfone 2).
>>51462117
I uninstalled the GTX, ran some games on an intel HD 4600, it's exactly as bad so either the games aren't using the 960 for some reason or the CPU's fucked up. halp?
>>51461611
I have an old monitor with blown capacitors and the radioshack has capacitors that are 10 volts over the ones on the power board, otherwise, the same.
The capacitors that need to be replaced are 2x 220uF 25v and 2x 1000uF 25v. The ones I can get locally are 220uF 35v and 1000uF 35v.
Will this harm the monitor in any way?
Someone last thread that this is a bad idea. Why?
>>51462273
for whatever reason your shit is defaulting back to the integrated graphics.
i'd power down, remove card, reinstall card, reinstall drivers, reboot, and run GPUZ and some benchmarks. check in your BIOS if you can disable onboard graphics and force pcie slot graphics instead.
>>51462227
Pretty much. PSUs are designed to take 120/240V unless explicitly stated. If the manual didn't mention any voltage switch then the components inside will adapt to the 240V.

Alright so I found that my phone was connected to some weird device that just said "phone" and had 1 phone line input.
So I found what I recognize as a DSL splitter (Pic related) and connected it. I cant unplug it right this second because the phone is in use (I live at home to help take care of my mom and she is having a long winded conversation.)
>>51462337
I'll give the PSU another quick lookover and then turn it on and see what happens.
Thanks.
>>51462311
yeah i unplugged it and reinstalled the drivers. Gonna try disabling the intel one later but also i realised i'm using 2 screens, one connected to the GPU via an HDMI port, another one to the intel one with a VGA. It's been like that all the time, even before it shit itself so would that change anything? Should i buy a VGA/DVI converter? My 960 only has an HDMI, DVI and DP ports so can't connect the VGA screen to it.
>>51462139

i was switching from a laptop to a desktop and only had one HMDI screen at home unfortunately.
I also noticed games run jast as bad on low settings and on ultra? Seems to be unable to go above 25 fps. And it only happens in online games(Blade and soul, ESO, Tera, swtor)? Just cause 2 for example falls down only to around 40 from maxed out 60fps. FO4 works fairly ok too.
are wd blues quieter than greens?

I have a quick question about my nokia lumia 800
I dropped it 10 minutes ago, it looked fine.
It landed flat on the back on bricks, and now i had to take the battery out because the screen got scolding hot and black spots started to apear.
Is the phone doomed now?
or what could i do to fix this?
I opened the case and the part that is hot is near the camera, not the battery itself but something near the sd card and camera is turning very very hot
>>51462692

Is that why they discourage quick charging Note 4 batteries? Could they burst into flames from all that extra current as well?

IS THIS ISSUE?
>>51462268
Because ARM always tried too hard to be "power efficient". Because of that they doomed themselves to only be used on low power devices (phones). They were never a viable option for desktops or even laptops because of how insanely weak the cores were.
During all this time all the useful programs were written for OSs that used x86 chips. So in the end ARM is best used to browse the web, as a facebook machine, listen to music/ watch movies, or just play angry birds but nothing more serious than that.
What does the FSB Strap to Northbridge option in BIOS do?
I'm running an OCd E8500 on a P5Q board with DDR2 800Hz RAM.
If I set strap to 333 I get the option for 801 MHz for RAM, if I set it to 400 I get the option for 800. I set it to 400 since it's "cleaner"
Differences between Crucial's mx200 & bx100 line? I'm looking to get a new SSD for a Linux dual boot.
So I understand that Linux gives you some extra stability and doesn't use as much resources as windows, but if games and software tend to be made for windows and won't run on linux, why go linux? Why make a second partition and do half windows half Linux? Doesn't it just become a pain in the ass to have to switch back and forth? Also have you ever felt like your linux wasn't secure? I heard that its a growing issue for most builds.
>>51462816
lol have you been living in a cave? AMD already has [4] power efficient 28nm Mullins APUs for tablets. Not sure about the prices though.
>>51462908

>>51462712
Bumping
>>51462904
Get the mx200, it's nearly the equivalent of the samsung 850 pro (that's pro, NOT evo). Basically faster and more reliable than the bx100. Watch for sales right now. Just saw 250 GB mx200s for $80. Currently sold out, but that gives you a price point to shop for. An 850 pro still goes $120 minimum and there's almost no difference ... primarily Samsung offers a longer warranty at 10 years, but the mean time between failure on both drives is 2,000,000 hours and more.
>>51462909
why is amd wasting money on shit like this when they need to be releasing a powerful desktop cpu two years ago?
nobody gives a shit about those cpu's.
>>51462958
I heard that by running it through wine it takes up even more resources than it would on just he native windows, but I've never used it. I assume most games/mmos and what have you don't work, or run rather slowly through wine, no? I want to try Linux, but when I start to do my research it starts to look like it just doesn't make sense for what I use my computer for; 50% web browsing, playing videos, music etc. 50% playing rather intensive games, which I think is the problem area.
>>51463029
dude, you can believe what some randoms on the net tell you, be it good or bad about linux, but the bottom line is it's free so you can give it a whirl and spend only the time you invest in it, to see for yourself if it fits your needs
>>51463023
True but they are still pretty neat. For AMD to cram [4] 1.2GHz cores on a chip and only require 4.5 watts under load is a pretty amazing accomplishment. They would be perfect for small 10-12" laptops imho.
>>51463078
perfect for a facebook machine, sure.
I've only ever used a mouth with two buttons and a scroll wheel, but I know there are others with a bunch more buttons and stuff.
Is it worth it to get one of those nice with extra buttons? For those who own the, have you gotten plenty of use of them?
And which one would you recommend to an 'advanced mouse' noob who is left handed (but still have the two buttons arranged as they would on the right handed mouse: the left button is the primary one and the right button is for 'right clicking' stuff.)
>>51462712
assuming you mean mobile signal, it's good. the lower the better.
>>51463149
I wouldn't go for one with a shitload of buttons but five is nice, you can map them as back/forward buttons or whatever you want

Does having a good router make your internet faster?
Best distro for a media center pc?
What light meter should I get?
L-308s or L-478D?
>>51465512
it depends, if you are close to the router adn just use it for internet a crappy 100mbps down one will easily suffice. You'd need some really stupid fast internet like google fiber to be bottlenecked and in any case if you get internet that good they will give you a router that can actually use it anyway.
The difference comes when you use the router for multiple things. if it is trying to service a bunch of connections to phones, computers etc, as well as maybe stream something from a media server then yeah, a shitty router will cause problems and getting a better one will help.
I hear that NFS is considered bad now because of no security.

>Is tkinter the best thing to use to create a GUI? If not, then what?
tkinter can be used to create simple GUI's but as soon as you want something advanced, I'd move to something like PySide, Kivy or PyQt.

There's several tools that can do it for you. Google search it.

Technically.. yes. Take a look at Nuitka.
>Would it be easier to put it on google cloud services and host it as a web application instead? Or maybe even do something with android.
Idk, but I think creating a program is easier and more manageable.

Currently I'm blaming the pci-e slot and will be able to find out later when i have what i need to clean it, if cleaning doesn't wok i'll just try a new slot.
I can't manually reproduce this it kind of just happens at random.
Again once it happens i can usually just resize whatever it happens in and it goes away. But if it happens on the desktop I enable then disable eyefinity and it goes away, jsut about the only way I've found that gets rid of it barring a reset. It's always square shaped like that as well.

Should I just runffmpeg -i in.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec copy -b:v [value] -a:v [value] out.mkv
and adjust the bitrate values accordingly, or are there better methods to bring the file size down which will yield better quality?
I've never chosen a router, they've always been given to my by my ISP. Lately I've been streaming my desktop to my tablet so I can be a lazy shit in bed although there's some jitter and lag. Would a better router fix this? It's the only thing I can think of that would be a bottleneck.

>>51466504
Alright, I'ma rephrase this. Can an unclean/ broken pci-e slot cause this?
I'd like to just say it's the GPU because it's the most obvious but my previous GPU did this, it's what caused me to get a different one.
I can stress the GPU out 100% but not recreate the issue. It's not temps, etc.
Could it be RAM somehow? Even though I've successfully ran memtest with no issues.
>>51468672
If it is the Pci-e slot how much if any performance difference would there be if it's run in pci-e 2.0 X4 vs 3.0 x16? This is an R9 280x by the way.

>>51468825
I don't like it when my fans sound like they are going to fall apart either.
>>51468882
>>51468873
As long as they don't sound like helicopter or plane engine then it's alright. I work in a factory with loud as fuck old machines so I'm used to noises.
My only worry is that they don't move enough air to generate airflow inside the case. You get what you pay for after all.
Guess I will get some cheap ones then upgrade them when I have more budget.
Thanks for the input guys.
>>51469011
check what fans you can put in the machine
if you can take 120mm fans or bigger, not the small 80mm or smaller, with a high rpm
all the same besides the noise
and how many do you think you will need?
what temps do you get in your factory?
most machines have unnecessary many fans

Im going to be spending most of the day in a waiting room at a hospital tomorrow and they have public wifi. The problem is they block a lot of stuff. I was wondering if there was an easy guide to set up a VPN on a router running tomato? Would it be easier to set up if I flash to DD-WRT? And how would I connect to it with my laptop running Ubuntu and a tablet with Android?
I really only need it for at most 2 days so if there is something easier like SSH to access blocked sites from my home internet that would be fine too.

>>51469502
block the ip
>>51469497
Just run a socks over ssh. But the hospital might block 22. So forward it to 443. PPTP would be better performance if you have about 30 minutes to set it up.
>>51469589
Won't that bring up the router's blocked message?
Or can it be just the "Page not Found" message?
I'd rather he didn't know I'm doing this for his own sake, just like the site 'happened' to go down or something. Whoops.

Possibly. All I would have to do is connect it to the original modem by an ethernet cable right? I have a shitty laptop I can use to configure it to be an access point.
Two questions on that front.
1. Where should I put the danged thing? I can probably get it into the room just below where I need to WiFi. I was looking at some maps of how WiFi travels though and it was a bit much for me.
2. How much speed loss would I experience?
Thanks a ton for your help. I am pretty uneducated about Networking in general, and it means a lot to me that you are helping me figure this out.
>>51471170
Yes you would have to plug it in to the modem.
1. You always want it higher then where you need it, not lower. Lower will work but not as well.
2. Not a clue.
