What's a good c compiler for windows 7?
>>51673509
>>51672976
Shit it's GTX 760 with i7 4770, not 750ti. That's better.
am i retarded or is there not a SINGLE one goddamn windows 7 ultimate torrent that isn't "LE PRE-ACTIVATED"
i just want a fucking untouched win7 ultimate sp1 iso and then activate it later
>>51673544
>>51673509
prebuilds are also garbage because they use shit-tier motherboard, power supplies and chassis.
but it good if it's not prebuilt. what PSU does it have?
760 is still meh. you should sell it and upgrade.

Board is MSI z87-g45, powersupply I didn't really ask him for the exact model but he said it's 650w from thermaltake. I appreciate you helping me with this, I'm not really good at electronics despite lurking here occasionally so I'm going the route of buying a used desktop and upgrading as I go along.
Why do games have considerably lower framerates when I use my dedicated gpu on the battery?
AMD or Nvidia? Whats the better?
>>51673661
thermaltake and MSI z87-g45 are OK. But is the CPU an unlocked K-version?
>>51673725

It depends.
what is better in a document based nosql database one big lump of xml/json or different xml/json
>>51673765
Nope, default. For both 6700 and 4770. I don't think I'll need an OC as I'm not a serious hardcore gamer nor do I computationally challenging stuff. I'm just getting this as it's about as cheap as building a new computer with mid range i5/i3.
Are there any compatibility issues if I were to use a cpu and gpu bought from Korea? All my other parts are from murrica

is the 6700k worth it if I don't overclock? thinking about getting a 6700 as I never overclock.
>>51673789
just asking because the mobo has the right chipset for overclocking. your friend was a dumbass for buying that mobo+cpu combo lol.
>>51673790
no.
>>51673805
>>51673624
they do if you have a MSDN account, but you can get legit ISOs from mydigititallife forums. it's where i got the one i magnet linked in this post: >>51673599
you can google the MD5 from >>51673765 and you'll see that forum as the first result.
>>51673790
as long as the socket matches it doesn't matter
>>51673854
i can be worth it when selling it later, or you might decide you want to OC. you can easily get another 20% performance out of them.
>>51673765
How do I change it so it doesn't throttle? I'm using Windows 10.
>>51673909
go to your power plan and set the GPU on battery to maximum performance
>>51673909
you should have a battery icon in the tray (lower right corner by the clock). click and open settings. look around for the high-performance setting.

And there's also nothing for an nvidia gpu and there's no option in the nvidia control panel.
I don't think I'm fully understanding what it is that makes assembly code more rigid than other forms of code, and unable to be transferred between different devices.
What can and can't be different between two devices that I want to run the same assembly program on?
So I want to upgrade my laptop's storage HDD to a larger SSD, how would I go about doing that?
It has an mSATA SSD for the OS and some programs, while my files and most of the other programs are on the HDD. Should I use Clonezilla to clone the drive then restore it after I upgrade? Or should I copy my files to an external, upgrade, then reinstall programs and copy the files back? Other suggestions are welcome.
For some information, I'm currently running Windows 8.1 and I plan to upgrade to Windows 10 as soon as I install the SSD.
>>51674053
compatibility is determined by the machine's ISA
>>51674043
you're still using the 'balanced' option. change to high performance.

>>51674212
You can make a split powered cable, if you're skilled.
>>51674160
ok. can you minimize the intel tab so we can see the rest of the options?
also, open the processor power management and check the settings there. (pic related)
and check under PCI Express, the GPU might be under that tab.
>>51674193
it's slightly faster and uses less resources. also DX12 support.
>>51674183
no, those ratings are strictly for how efficiently the PSU converts the AC power from your outlet to DC power for your computer parts.

Macfag here. Old keyboard broke. Because I needed a new one, I bought a Logitech K120 because it looked like it covered the basics. Turns out there are no volume keys. How do I set binds or do anything because it seems like this OS hates me and doesn't want me to be happy.
If it's any help at all, the function keys are very strange. Key titled Scroll Lock and Pause Break (F14 and F15) change the brightness. I tried going down the row but the only other one that did anything obvious is F11 shows the desktop.

I thought about installing bootcamp or switching the OS to windows entirely for quite some time but I'm so god damn incompetent I would probably fuck up and lose all my data, including things I would need to repurchase such as Microsoft Office. On top of that, I would need a copy of Windows which I don't have
>>51674431
you got office for mac? it doesnt let you use it on windows aswell? you could try openoffice or libreoffice.
bandcamp is a good option if you're afraid to fuck something up or not sure you want to keep only windows.
see >>51673857 for info about getting windows and the forum mentioned how to activate it.
would there be an actual point to using nnedi3 to do 1920x1080 to 3840x2160? why would it take a complex scaler to just duplicate a pixel in both directions, one at a time? wouldnt even bilinear do this?
Is it true that the only drive that should be set up when installing windows is the drive you are going to boot from?

>>51674541
It's a precaution against accidental reformatting. Triple check your drive selections if you choose to keep them attached.
>>51674541
yes. windows might put parts of the MBR on the secondary drive, and if you remove that later you wont be able to get into windows.
>>51674559

use speccy to make sure it's actually the stuff the seller is claiming.
>>51674670

Can't completely copy an mp4 file to my kingston 32gb thumb drive. Starts off fine and then hangs within half a minute. Tried zipping it, etc.
USB stick is fine. Comp i'm trying to copy from might have a low voltage issue after I installed my old 6670 card. I'm grateful for any input.
>>51674709
opening the case and LOOKING is OK. but you dont have to fucking touche and play around with the parts to make sure they're working. if it can run benchmark software and stresstests, it proves it works.
all you're doing by touching the components is risk shorting/frying them.
the only thing you should open the case for is to check if nothing is broken by using your eyes. no touching.
check drive bays, cables, clips, plastic cover on gpu and fans, etc.
I suppose this belongs here, and excuse me but I'm on my phone so I can't type out the full examples I'd of liked to.
In short, is there anything to keep in mind when transforming interactive for loops into concurrent threads? Currently I'm basically just copy and pasting the meat of the for loop into a runnable class and transferring the necessary information into that runnable and just creating new runnable in the loop (maxing out around 10 threads).
It does speed up the process but I'm not sure if there are things to keep in mind when transforming things to runnable and threads.
>>51674780
how do you know the stick is fine?
is the drive the file is on fine?
is the file fine?
>>51674808
Bought the thumb drive new in it's package. Reformatted form FAT to NTSC to FAT again. It refuses to copy the whole file.

Just bought 2133mhz ram
Its for my 2500k and P8Z68vpro gen3
I know sandy bridge and higher ram then 1600 is a bit tricky but still.
The X.M.P profil tell me that 2200 ram will show at 1866 , the profil does show 1866 and speecy too.
Does my ram run at full capacity ?
Is it suppose to show 1866mhz only in bios or in bios and speecy
Thanks
I've never used Java before and this basic assignment is killing me. I've learned what the JCF is and I think I understand how to import it and then extend some classes, but how do I "add a new type" under a preexisting class???
Is there somewhere I can access/alter the library's source code?
>"Develop a new type of stack class called ArrayStack as part of Java Collection Framework (JCF). This implementation of the stack uses ArrayList for storing its elements and will have all restrictions defined for the stack structure including push, pop, and peek (see the top element of stack) as well as the Collection methods size, add, and iterator. Students are suggested to achieve this by adding a type under the AbstractCollection class in JCF."
Is it easier to use cloning software on an ssd or just reinstall the os? I don't really have anything worth saving on my drive that's going to be cloned but I am worried about issues that could happen with a cloned drive.
>>51674951
AbstractCollection sounds like an abstract class representing a collection. You should implement the abstract class with your own ArrayStack by extending AbstractCollection.
I uninstalled the software for my old card, put in a new one and it won't boot past the bios. I get a 5a in the lower corner and then nothing but a black screen and a 0_ in the corner. I updated my Bios but it still won't work. What do I do?
>>51674899
try formatting it with NTFS, and unselect "quick format" so it will check for any errors on the drive.
does it stop on all file transfers or just this one mp4 file?
also run a disk diagnostic on the hard drive the mp4 is located on. the manufacturer should have one on their website or they will link to one.
>>51674943
does your mobo support RAM that fast? try CPU-Z and see if it shows the right numbers.
run a RAM benchmark tool. screenshot or write down the results.
open BIOS and manually set it to 1866 and then run the bench again and compare.
if its not any change, manually set the correct options in BIOS so it should run at 2133 and try bench again.
>>51674959
if the OS install is older than a year you might aswell just reinstall. if not, clonezilla is alright.
>>51675029
what kind of "card" ?
try the old card again.

GPU sorry. I went from a radeon HD 7800 to a R9 390. If I put the 7800 back in it works.

What power supply do you have?
Did you plug in the power cables (which ones and how? did you use any adapters?)?
>>51675020
how to i make one class extend two classes though?
it's not like i can say "class ArrayStack extends AbstractCollection and ArrayList," right?

Already tested PSU, I've narrowed it down to my CPU and my MOBO.
CPU: Intel core I5-4670k @ 3.5 GHZ
MOBO: Asrock H81 pro
How fucked am I, /g/?
>>51675102
you are extending AbstractCollection and, internally, using ArrayList to store your vegetables
>>51675213
tyvm i'll see how far i can get with that
>>51675133
sounds like the hard drive might be corrupt or dying
>>51675158
do you have two PCI-E cables from the PSU?
how many pins do they have (total on each cable please, dont write 3x2 or whatever, makes my brain hurt trying to do math this late). ie 6pins or 8pins
the GPU needs all 16 pins (8+8 from two power cables) to run properly.
also what PSU exactly do you have?
>>51675206

Is it possible to overclock on an H chipset? I've read that "you can, but Z is better". Unfortunately better doesn't mean anything.
If I have an Intel CPU, will using the built in HD graphics make the CPU slower/hotter or anything like that?

>>51675176
probably. but there are good cheap ones for like $30/year with unlimited traffic and 3GB space. that too expensive?
>>51675254
yes but since the cpu multiplier is locked you will be overclocking the bus and ram aswell which most likely are shit on those boards. dont expect more than 100MHz increase on your CPU.
>>51675276
slower no, hotter a little.

Hello,
tommorow on special deal I can buy 4690k for 199€ without tax,
or should i spent 310 for an i7 4790k or even wait for a while to drop their price.

But im aware of DX12 multicore support, is that hyper-threading worth the money ?
That difference can buy me ssd for example.

>>51675818
The jump to i7 isn't worth the price for most people.
Also, up 8.1 is fine.
>>51675818
8.1 is not worse than 7, it depends on how annoying you find the UI
average users can't utilize i7s properly. it will perform exactly as an i5 would, (becuase the GPU is the bottleneck factor) but cost more. if you really need an i7 for cpu intensve stuff, like 3d modeling, go for it, but it makes no difference in vidya gaems

I have a table with a lot of foreign keys. When I insert into this table, I want to check to make sure that the foreign keys exist, ie insert a row into the foreign key's table if one doesn't already exist.
Which is the better way to do this (or am i missing the best way?):
A) INSERT OR IGNORE into all of the foreign key tables every time I insert into the table
B) do a try/catch, catch a failed foreign key constraint and insert then
It takes about 10x longer to do the INSERT OR IGNORE (there are a lot of foreign keys), but the try/catch feels hacky and gross
>>'Time to insert with insert or ignore is is 2.3121321201324463'
>>'Time to insert with try/catch is is 0.20801186561584473' (plus an additional ~2 seconds if it catches, which it shouldn't very frequently, but will happen enough that I need to account for it programmatically)

I mostly wonder whether that cpu sink will be able to handle a 4ghz OC. I can't fit a 120mm fan in the correct orientation so I had to step down to a 100mm. The case's airflow should be adequate barring cables so the cpu fan will be the limiting factor.

Would it be possible to take an android phone and make some sort of image or backup of it so that I could then take that image and put it on a phone of the same model so I would have two identical phones? If so, how?
>>51676496
>Corsair 250D
a 290mm long GPU
so I guess with 275mm long card, you should be alright

Is there a converter that takes in digital audio and spits out 6-channel?
>>51676517
I'm hesitant to do that because with an upright cooler the airflow is pretty linear straight across the case. I think a flat cooler would create a sort of internal air cycle that probably wouldn't result in good airflow.
Should I start programing with windows or mac?
>>51676675
windows. download visual studio and start learning C#. it holds your hand the whole way through. once you know C#, you know C. Then knowing C++ is only a step away and you have every language you'll ever need outside webdev.
>>51676605
nah, cant happen. you give airflow too much credit. as long as you have an intake and exhaust fan it's fine.
>>51676675
mac obviously

Isn't that just a ROM? You could create your own and deploy it to whatever devices you want.
If you want a perfect backup (say, for replacing a broken phone) Nandroid Backup seems to be what you want.

Am I overpaying for it or is this fine? Prefer to keep costs down.
Should I stop putting my computer with an SSD into "hibernate"?
Also, between the two, is it better to shut down or hibernate?
I like being able to turn off the computer (without it sucking electricity) but still return to my windows and stuff when I come back in an hour or two. I shut down for when I'm away longer.
>>51676749
isp doesn't care. you're just giving google EVERY website and domain you connect to. if you're not tinhat i guess it doesn't matter and you can continue on
>>51676796
a little perhaps. you can get a solid one for around $99

Either really. use whatever you're familiar with for day to day use and save yourself some headache. Python, c#, and C++ are solid beginner languages. depends on what you want to do.
Mac has some affinity for the hipster hacker, Ruby /python / Javascript/coffeescript/ node JS / fullstack designer /programmer special snowflake unicorns out here in the sillicon valley.
PC of course has some game developer and java cube drone thing down.
You really don't need to know C in this day and age, c++11 is good if you can find a resource that doesn't use all the old paradigms (char* arrays, etc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnWhqhNdYyk )

I use google because I feel like google would have known where I go anyway
So, I think asking here would be the best bet since it doesn't really warrant it's own thread. I need to move out to a small town in the next couple of weeks and I've been ISP shopping for a while now around it since to be frank, I don't think I really could go without Internet.
This area though has basically fucking shit for options. There's AT&T, Mediacom, and this other service called Extreme DSL.
I've never had any of these ISPs before and I've nothing but vile shit about all of them. AT&T seems to have extremely low data caps that I simply couldn't work with. Mediacom's not better while also doubling as a shitty cable service. Extreme DSL is just selling repackaged AT&T U-Verse in the area without a datacap, which makes it look like the best option on paper.
Upon calling Extreme DSL it really left me uneasy with me wanting to give them money. It seems like a rinky dink operation and didn't really put me at peace. So, I'm kind of looking for advice on what to do. I rather not have to adjust what I do with my lifestyle since the town appears to be dead fuck in the middle of nowhere with no appealing things to do, so, staying online will be my only form of sanity.
If any of you guys have had these companies before can you give me some information on how their service is? I don't really have any options. What research I've done has also been conflicting. For example I've read that with AT&T's U-Verse plan they don't really impose the data cap limits, which is okay with me obviously, but, I've already read that they do. Mediacom isn't one I'd really like to go with since I've never had Cable internet before and it sounds awful to be honest. Extreme DSL seems appealing so far, but, like I said I'm not really comfortable when I go into touch with them. So I'm just looking for advice on the matter.
Picture related, my reaction to all this.

How does a switch communicate with a router?
I just dont understand how a switch can give each device on it a potential gigabit connection to the internet when the entire thing is only connected to the router with a single ethernet cable.
I know I must be missing some vital function of a network or switch or something so someone please enlighten me.
>>51677084
bytes go in, bytes go out. you can't explain that.
Hey sqt, came home to find that my tower won't turn on. Mobo light is on, but when I press the power button the fans do about a quarter turn, then won't do it again until I unplug the power cord and plug it back in. I'm figuring the PSU is shot considering the ~95% uptime for the last 4.5 years.
>>51677100
lucky for you PSUs are cheap and fairly easy to replace(if you get modular)
>>51677079
I've heard that's pretty bad too and only works half the time regardless? The options don't look that good either from what I can tell and wouldn't support what I need.
>>51677094
Right but how are, for example, 5 gigabit internet connections communicating simultaneously through 1 connection from the switch to the router?
>>51677176
Unless the router is also communicating at gig speed, you're just bottlenecking them there, but communication between devices on the switch would be at full speed, again assuming the devices have gig nics.
>>51677277
And what if it did have a gigabit internet connection? Would it be better to plug as many straight into the router as possible? Would the switch not be able to supply the gigabit internet connection to each device?
4chan's native "Thread Watcher" isn't working right for me in Firefox. When I click the refresh circular arrow, it just loads forever. Even a clean reinstall of Firefox didn't do anything. It works just fine in Chrome.
Anyone else having this problem in FF? I'm running the latest version.
>inb4 bloatfox
>>51677384
Just use chrome :)
>>51677350
Assuming all devices have gigabit speed, then it should be router->switch->devices. You can hang some off the router if you prefer, the difference would be negligible. Are you considering vlans or a dmz? Where are your devices getting dhcp and dns?
Going to buy a internal wireless card.
Does it matter if I get a PCI version vs PCI-Ex1?
Also, what chip is recommended, preferably something that works with free drivers
>>51677436
All i have is a modem/router from my ISP and a small 5 or 6 port gigabit switch. Could you briefly explain vlan and dmz? All i reallywant to know is how a switch can give every device on it the gigabit internet connection speed i have if its only connected to the router/modem by a single ethernet cable. Seems like witchcraft.

Hi, I was at that firefox hate thread a couple of days ago and decided to install palememe.

>>51678482
im on a tracker so i cant do anything like that.
>>51678396

So I let a family member borrow a few thousand dollars from me a few years back when they were in need, never actually bothered to make note of the actual amount because I assumed I'd be able to check my bank statement when they were able to pay me back. But now that they are able to finally do so, I find that I can't bring up bank statements that old online anymore. What is the best option here? I can order paper statements but I don't even remember the exact month or even year I lent the money so I'd have to order a lot, and then wait for them to arrive. Is there an easier way to bring up old info like this online that I'm not seeing?
Bank is Bank of America.
>>51678626
>>51678525
A = next audio track
S = next sub track
>>51678689
possible for them to filter transfers above a certain amount? that'd be your best shot.
do they ONLY have paper statements? they cant put it on a CD or something in text files so you can search?

Update: I got 720p working. I had to install a shitload of gstreamer packages, not totally certain when it started working. Probably when I restarted palememe (palemoon).
Now I'm interested in getting 1080p video. I read about something called MSE that is used for 480 and 1080p video.

Im looking at getting a laptop for writing code when im out and about. i dont need it to be a good compiling machine but i'd like it to be snappy.

tl;dr what laptop should i get that is NOT for gaming
