If you import a phone from another country because it's cheaper than buying the local version, do you still get OTA updates for Android from your carrier, or do you need to manually update?

What the fuck is wrong with my phone, this is the second time this messaging app has fucked up and the only solution I found last time was a complete wipe. I can't reinstall it because it's a motorola default. Force stopping it works temporarily, as other services keep starting it back up again. The app itself is also very laggy the longer it's kept open for.

Tried googling and I couldn't find anything.
im from /diy/ dont hate on me too much
im considering an itx build and i am confused on whether or not i can use an M2 PCIE drive as a boot drive.
The board is asus z170l pro gaming and i want to use the samsung 950 pro drive.
will this setup work?
also will using an PCIE M2 drive affect video card performance significantly?
in case someone miss my answers from the last thread
>>51682865
>you're not doing anything cpu intensive to make it turbo boost.
I am now, still same thing.
>x264 encoding
>>51683115
>also will using an PCIE M2 drive affect video card performance significantly?
no, it will only affect the time it takes to load textures, a normal ssd is already fast enough. m2 is the future, but right now it's not really needed unless you want a 4 second boot instead of a 8 second boot.
>>51683061
how bout force stopping, tebooting phone, uninstalling-reinstalling sms app?
>>51683084
please dont bump
>>51683115
if the motherboard has an m.2 slot, yes it can be used as boot.
i dont see how m2 would impact gpu performance. what makes you think so?
>>51683131
that's weird. beats me.
>>51683181
I know right.
I'd assume that Turbo Boost works as it's supposed to and the CPU is effectively running at the 4.52Ghz shown in Task Manager, but it's really strange how cpu-z disagrees.
I just don't get it senpaitachi
>>51683151
>but right now it's not really needed unless you want a 4 second boot instead of a 8 second boo
My want is for small form factor rather than crazy speed. but the speed is nice.
>>51683181
>i dont see how m2 would impact gpu performance. what makes you think so?
from my googling, it seems the m2 drive shares bandwidth of the pcie express bus, and using the m2 will derate the x16 primary slot to x8, is this not correct?
>>51683235
>using the m2 will derate the x16 primary slot to x8, is this not correct?
Should not be correct unless you have a weird motherboard.
It's true that M.2 shares the PCI-e bus, as it's a PCI-e connection, but the Z170 chipset has 20 PCI-e 3.0 lanes, of which your graphics card wants 16 and your 950 PRO wants 4.
>>51683180
I can't uninstall it, that's the problem. It's the stock app.
I really should get around to rooting this phone.
is this right?
>>51683235
>>51683294
anything less than a titan x wouldnt even get near to use up all that bandwidth. a 980ti can run at 95% performance on pci-e x8
>>51683317

no, electrons are already everywhere in the cable and appears to be instant. the 'electricity' itself doesnt 'travel'.
>What's the volt part of electricity, what's the ampere part
those are the two things that make electricity.
go watch some youtube videos or something about electricity. it's too hard for me to explain to someone that has a completely fucked up understanding about it.

Ok, thanks anyways for trying.
To RAM or not to RAM?
Currently at 8, can pick up another 8 for $35. Thinking of going full ham on my RAM because DDR3 production is probably gonna scale back soon and I want to pick up a matching set while I have the chance.
>>51684268
so what all this from you then?
>>51683357
>>51683448
>>51684134
you could have said from the beginning that 4chan now has alibaba ads on their root page.
>>51684268
Yes. But what opened wasn't an ordinary BIOS but UEFI and that shit sucks big time. Also I couldn't set a/the boot priority to USB or to whatever else I want..
>>51684254

That shitpost was some pasta of some guy, can't remember really.
The OS is not legit I think, but it's the third computer with this OS from the same CD, never had this problem before in years.
Most dangerous thing I've done in this comp was installing that Xstory player 3.5 from some russian guy. Guess that's what fucked this up.

I am planning on adding 2x4gb ddr3 2600mhz ram to my system. I already have 2x4gb ddr3 1600mhz ram. Will this lesser ram decrease the preformance? Could the 1600mhz ram take presidence over the 2600 ram in gaming?
If I'm mostly gaming, would it be better to s simply replace the 1600 with 2600?
>>51684397
>Will this lesser ram decrease the preformance?
Yes. The 2600Mhz RAM will be downclocked to 1600Mhz to match the speed of the lesser RAM
>If I'm mostly gaming, would it be better to s simply replace the 1600 with 2600?
Higher speed RAM is utterly pointless.

You got fucked by ransomware, and the longer you spend using that computer the more files are being encrypted.
If you want any chance at being able to back your shit up before your files are gone for good, you turn your computer off right the fuck now, go make a live USB with some Linux distro, boot up on it, and hope that the ransomware doesn't do its thing while you're in the live USB environment.
Solutions are as following:
1) Pay up
2) Format
3) Unplug HDD and never use it again until someone cracks the encryption

So I use an android phone, I have a gmail account and I search using Google. I'm not comfortable with how creepy it gets sometimes, though. I use Lightning browser on my phone and Chromium on my Mint laptop, not signed-in.
When I search with google, are my searches still being tied to my account or IP? I used to use Chrome but I don't like my history being saved everywhere and I like to use adblock. I have a sort of love-hate relationship with Google.
>>51684420
What should I do with these 4 sticks of ran to get the best preformance?
>>51684466
they have your IP and location (if you have it turned on on your android device) they can cross-check and link it all together pretty easily.
>>51683365
pls post the version with men. the difference s pretty funny.
Solid state drive, solid state card or solid state module?
Why should I choose one or other?
How is the performance improvement/$$$?
>>51684487
I turn my location off, but that probably doesn't matter. So basically using these other browsers is just giving me adblock and piece of mind? As I thought.
I would just use Chrome on Android if it had adblock.

SATA SSD. Best price/performance out of those options. The others are not worth it because you pay way too much for a minor performance increase.
Posted this over in the Speccy thread. Not trying to suck dick for answers, but I'm getting some major slowdown on certain games (Fallout 4, XCOM:EW, Homeworld, hell even Banner Saga). I might have buttery smooth 60fps for all of 5~10 seconds and then 15fps for a split second, rinse repeat. It's very frustrating.
Just curious about what /g/ thinks, temp definitely, but I wondered if anybody else might spot something. This is a couple of minutes after closing Fallout. It was in the 200F range while playing.
>>51684618
you could have just said that 4chan had recently started to show alibaba ads instead of going the direction you did.

try pc world in catford.
I'm relocating my compter and the ethernet cable I currently have is not quite long enough. Because of how it is wired, it would be a hassle to simply replace it fully with a longer one. The obvious choice would be an extension cable of some kind that adds the extra metre I need. We're talking cable that runs from the router over a distance of maybe 4m, nothing excessive. The internet connection in question is gigabit per second (which I actually get and use) and it is a fibre connection, though FTTC.
Note that I have to increase the length of the cable, and I am asking about the difference between say a 5m wired (because that's probably the closest size option) and a 3m cable connected to a 1.5m connector.
Intuitively, I'd imagine that the version with the extension cable might be slightly worse but probably not noticeably. All things being equal, will I see any noticeable drop in performance, particularly maximum up/down speed or ping in online gaming? Are there any considerations to bear in mind about the quality of the extension? Am I going to see any other electrical artefacts from the connector?
All Google searches talk about is extensions that run from telephione lines to routers or massive length cables.

When i had an issue like this it turned out to be some sort of weird power-saving feature (AMD Firepro notebook graphics). There was a tick box for "additional powersaving when idle" in CCC. Best i can tell is it ramped up voltages and Clocks based on a powersave scheduler. The instant it would drop below 50% Utilization in any game or program it would drop a clock/voltage state causing massive lag for a few frames before the voltage went back up.
Maybe Nvidia has something similar?

>if the motherboard has an m.2 slot, yes it can be used as boot.
Wrong. Just because you can install an M.2 drive does not guarantee that you can use it as a boot drive. Just ask anyone who tried to use an XP941, SM951, and early versions M.2 PCIe2 2x SSDs as boot drives (such as myself).
Your motherboard's BIOS will largely affect whether or not you can use certain M.2 SSDs as boot drives. As far as I know, most Z97 and H97 boards still can't use XP941 and SM951 as a boot drives because their firmware doesn't natively support it.

Id really really address that before you cook it
>>51685171
Is it an internal microphone? If so nothing should have changed, but the settings (in realtek or whatever else) might have reset.
If it's not internal, and you're using the usb soundcard, it might be the amplifier on that board.
What is the low-middle-high range for laptop battery WHrs these days? And what does that translate to in terms of hours of battery life?

you probably use the same amount of bandwidth when streaming it. having a local copy will save you bandwidth should it be something you want to rewatch.

>I'd rather not blow bandwidth downloading every video I see.
So you want to stream 1080p because you think it somehow uses less bandwidth than downloading the video does ?
Do you not understand what streaming is ?
I have thick black border around my HDMI connected TV when I use Linux (Debian stable, DE doesn't affect the results) and I'm not sure why. Setting the picture mode with my TV didn't help.

I have an .mp4 file that will not play in MPC-HC, but will play fine in VLC. When I try it in MPC-HC, it says "Cannot render the file." What am I missing or what do I do to get it to function correctly in MPC-HC?

Alright, I'm an idiot. Doesn't make downloadin more convenient. I want to stream because it's quicker.
>>51685478
How did you install it?
You should get MPCHC with the K-Lite codec pack.
>>51685365
Any thoughts on Pokki? It's the only freeware one from that list
>>51685521
Its just a start menu with android-like cancer
GPL is free(dom) (like loonix)
>>51685507
I downloaded it straight from the main site when you Google "MPC." I didn't know there was a build that came with K-Lite. I'm going to look for it now. Thank you.
Let me try again.
My laptop suddenly got REALLY hot and the fan went wild, then it bluescreened. I think I fixed the cause and it seems to work okay, except it runs a bit warm now and the fan runs a bit more. But not to a scary extent. Honestly, shit's nice. It's cold here.
But do you have any idea what could have happened during the overheating that would cause the computer to keep running warmer? Fan failure? Cooling paste maybe? Some kind of damage to the CPU?
I can't imagine the CPU would get damaged in a way that would only result in warmth. Could it? And the fan still seems to do its job, the job's just harder. As for the paste, well, I know roughly fuck all about paste.
>>51685507
>>51685608
dont. codec packs are for retards that download shitty files from shitty encoders with shitty codecs.
the mp4 is probably corrupted. redownload it.
>>51685637
overheating can cause damage to the cpu and make it throw an error randomly at any time which could result in anything from a slight FPS drop to a bluescreen of death.
how much slower is a VM compared to not a VM? If I were to do a LFS install in a VM, how much longer would it take to do all the compiling compared to not doing a LFS install in a VM.

Ok so, I'm the guy with the ramsomware shit. Here's what I did:
I have 2 HDD: an SDD whit the system and a regular HDD where I had all the other shit (mostly vidya and couple of adobe software).
I unplugged the HDD with the non-important files and then wiped clean the SDD with windows again.
For now the computer seems to be working fine, I'm downloading the drivers with an old laptop I had and was about to install them again. MAin computer isn't connected to internet yet, and the HDD is still unplugged (everything there is still encrypted)
Do I have a chance to get back my shit or should I just wipe it completly?
>>51685673
Is this bad?
I'm not doing anything special right now.
Tried to update 4ish year old arch linux machine with pacman -Syu, now im getting errors should i just freah install?
What's a good (and preferably free) program for backing up every driver installed on my laptop? Samsung dropped Win7 support a long time ago and every time I format my computer it's a pain in the ass to look for each driver.
>>51685830
yes.
>>51685831
here bruh, drp.su it's got pretty much every driver you could need, it's all free but download the full version in case of no wireless to download drivers with the light edition
>>51685776
if you formatted the drive with the OS, the ransomware should not be able to encrypt any more files.
>>51685824
nah, pretty normal for laptop. but expect some throttling during heavy load. might be good idea to clean fans and replace thermal paste.
>>51685831
download them and backup on a cloud service or usb drive.
or after you have formatted and installed all the drivers, make an image of that and store on a USB drive.
>>51685911
What about the HDD? most things in there are still encrypted. No chance to get them back right?
>>51685766
depends on the type of VM. something like Xen has almost zero overhead. virtualbox and vmware has a lot of overhead and will slow down noticeably.
>>51685930
no chance.
>>51685949
so installing LFS would be a bad idea in virtualbox?
>>51685911
>replace thermal paste
This would void my warranty, right?
I'd just bring it for repairs, but it's a long drive and I need the computer.
>>51685982
probably. it'd be like trying to play a game or run benchmarks through vbox.

how good is Xen?
I posted here last night asking for advice on a previous iteration of this mini ITX build. Now I'm pretty sure it's finally done. I know all the components fit (probably, the evo is going to be very close to the gpu or the ram in either orientation), so aside from that does anyone have more input?

There was nothing important on it (just some games and porn, the former of which were backed up) so I'm not pulling my hair out or anything, but it would be nice if I could copy some torrents I was seeding off of it.
My question is, what do you guys think about the supposed freezer trick?
For additional information, it's not even showing up in Windows or the drive manager anymore (haven't checked the BIOS yet). Anytime you boot the computer, you can hear a distinct clicking as it tries to spin up and eventually fails, at which point the boot process moves on without it. I think it's beyond any software repair, thus.
It's installed internally, but I think it's causing some system instability issues as I've had a couple blue screens since it failed. I'm gonna pull it out soon.

>>51686305
i think you're mixing up some stuff. you cant mount that fan any other way than shown on the product image.
and what i meant by it fitting was that the top part of the cooler would not hit the chassi panel.
i think you meant you are going to rotate the cooler so the airflow is a straight line through the case, like your image the other day?
>>51686242
no idea. never used lfs or xen myself.

Suppose the computer did get damaged when it overheated and I somehow can't tell. How do I tell?

going from a smaller to a bigger drive is no problem. you just open the storage/partition manager and increase it.

Is intake from the case's back okay?
->rear case fan ->cpu fan - > ram?
I can't do it the other way around, the traditional one, because the RAMs are blocking the other side of the cooler. Top case fan are exhaust.

put a newline after egs
>>51686805
Yeah. I'm confused now, I can do that can't I? That's the impression I was under.
The fan will fit inside the case though. It's got a listed 16.5cm cooler clearance iirc and the evo is 15.9cm.
Can the clover app sort the catalog by post count out of curiosity?
Pardon the tech support question, but I'm trying to git better at diagnosing PC's. I recently received a junker Dell Win7 computer and the guy who gave it complained that "it'd turn off a lot and take days to turn back on."
Sure enough, after about 10 minutes of staying on, it blacked out, no BSOD. Unplugged PSU, then back in, but nothing happens upon pressing the power button. Motherboard power light would turn on, and the power button light (to turn the PC on) on the front lights up orange.
All the PSU cords were plugged in firmly, nothing burned/frayed/broken inside. No multimeter to use, and replacing the RAM/testing each stick didn't change anything. Took off CPU fan, and the thermal paste is nearly gone. I don't have another PSU or CPU that's compatible for testing, either
I'm leaning towards the CPU fried/died, or the PSU is going bad, but can really only afford to replace one. Any thoughts on what I should do/test/replace at this point?

So /g/, I built myself a router a while back and I've been using a 320 watt PSU to power it. When I checked it with a kill-a-watt, it was only drawing like 14 watts, so I got a picoPSU 80w and I was planning on re-purposing the 320 for a NAS. But when I opened it up, the power connector is missing 4 of the pins. It's too short. I tried plugging it in on one side and booting it up anyway, and to my surprise, it booted up just fine.
My question is, is it OK like this? Or is this going to cause me issues if I don't return the thing and get a longer one (do they even make a longer one?)

you dont have to flip the fan around so it blows the other way around if you put it on the other side of the heatsink. make it a pull config.

>>51686880
you shouldnt have to unless the case forces you to mount the mobo 90 degree rotated.
imagine you mounted the mobo in a normal case and attached the cpu cooler so you get airflow straight through the case. now lay down the case flat on it's side. that should be how your case looks (basically) except a lot smaller.

GDocs is cancer. Use LO if you want something free & decent.
>>51687807
it's not as effective but it will do fine. its better than making the fan on the back of the case an intake at least because then you wont have any exhaust for the hot air unless you have holes or fans in the top of the case.
>>51687691
Microsoft Publisher exists for this. First thing that popped in mind, don't know anything about making newspapers so there's probably some good free software out there as well.
