Here's something I don't get: I hear that assembly code only works for the computer it's explicitly programmed for, or at least it only runs super efficiently for that computer.
So why did RCT2, a game programmed in assembly, run super efficiently on any Windows machine?
>>51689122

>>51689149
"super efficiently" is a meme, rct2 is simple and would run just as fast if it was written in the most bloated java.
different cpus offer different features on top of the x86/_64 instruction sets which targetted compiling can take advantage of.
>>51689189
>>51689239
RCT2 would probably run just as fast in bloated java today, yes, but on the computers it was made for it's a miracle of coding that it ran so well.
But thanks for explaining why one piece of assembly can work for any x86/_64 processor. What sort of features would these be though, and is it realistic to write the code to take advantage of a selection of processor features if those features exist, but still run if those features don't exist?
I'm wondering if it's worth learning assembly even if I'm not trying to optimise a supercomputer.

Can someone explain me what are PCI lanes talking about CPUs?
I just signed up for vpn (nordvpn). But I don't understand the instructions for creating a PKI (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Create_a_Public_Key_Infrastructure_Using_the_easy-rsa_Scripts) does /root/ = / or am I missing something.
When I tried it in /, then ./clean-all command wouldn't work (/pwd not found or something)

Their schedule's busy what with other jobs. God willing they can spare time on Sunday. One of them actually showed up in the morning but unless my brother brings the rig to their place, not much can be done. Again, we're both crossing our fingers on Sunday. Just hope we don't have to get a new GPU. The one on hand was pretty expensive.
I would like to assume the motherboard has onboard graphics but the ports are provided by the GPU. From what I've been told, the motherboard has no such port to connect to the monitor. Could be mistaken. Never got a good look at the motherboard (what with it being hooked into the case). Furthermore, the fans for everything at least turn on so according to that flowchart, it definitely isn't a power issue.
Finally, here's the specs.
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
Memory: Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB (1x8 GB Module) 1600MHz 240-pin DDR3 Non-ECC CL10 Desktop Memory KHX1600C10D3B1/8G
CPU:
AMD FD6350FRHKBOX FX-6350 FX-Series 6-Core Black Edition
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDD SATA 6 Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive ST1000DM003
Power Supply:
Seasonic M12II 620 BRONZE ; SS-620GM 80Plus Power Supply
Graphics: EVGA GeForce GTX760 SuperClocked w/EVGA ACX Cooler 2GB GDDR5 256bit, Dual-Link DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI,DP, SLI Ready Graphics Card (02G-P4-2765-KR)

I'm trying to download a 45 gb file off steam. My hard drive crashed during the download. It's crashed several times while trying to download this file.

Steam isn't designed around the concept of separate HDDs. You have to download it directly to your main for some dumbass reason. The only other option is to have it directly in your PC as an extra drive and not as a plug in play idea. I tried this and only 2 games worked for me.

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?

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.

Hey /g/,
I'm buying ram and was looking at a 1866MHz kit from Kingston. However, they also have lower frequency kits in the same series for less money.

Normally yes, it is possible. Probable even, but not guaranteed. The higher clocked sticks are most likely higher binned and will have better OC potential, but if youre only stepping it up a little (1600 to 1866 for example), odds are excellent itll do it.
Your limiting factor is voltage required, better sticks require less.
>>51694776
warranty reasons i suppose. maybe the speed on the non-overclocked is locked or maybe these non-overclocked sticks are more susceptible to damage when overclocking somehow, although i highly doubt this is the case.
>>51694821
ok that makes sense. thank you for your help
decided to go with msi for my mobo, and gskill for ram in my new build.

Don't go with MSi! They advertise features, and then remove them without notice.
I keep getting this error in photo shop. I can paint for 30-60 minutes and it will happen. Leading up to this photoshop will use more and more RAM and start to get unresponsive. Anyone with experience with this type of error? It is really frustrating.

My pc randomly freezes and gives me a Blue screen of death.
Sometimes it happens while i play i game, sometimes it happens when the pc is idle.
Time is also totally random, it can take hour or minutes after booting up for it to happen.

My hard drive just died. Luckily I backed it up a day ago which I usually never do for years. What's the best way to back up data?

just use raid-1, problem solved
My pc got rollbacked by 2 months. How the fuck did that happen. Literally everything I had uninstalled, even my wallpaper from 2 months came back
>>51695402
This is the stupid question thread, please assume I'm a fucking idiot. How do I raid-1?
>>51695390
Put it on to an externel drive. Raid 1 is a mirror, anything you fuck up on your first drive will fuck up your second drive. It only protects against things like failures/dead drives, so if that's all you're looking for then maybe.

Having issues with a laptop
Lotta blue screens, Prime95 will stop working (Rouning was 0.5, expecting less than 0.4) with both sticks of ram in the laptop, but not with just one. Tried with both indivitually.

Where are my preset shortcuts in the new version of AMD graphics software? I found some .xml files in AppData but no clue what command line switches I would need to create an easy desktop shortcut to trigger these, if indeed possible at all. All my old easy shortcuts are nowhere to be found (though the presets still exist in Catalyst and those xmls do exist)
What's the most easily repairable mouse?
I have had a Razer Deathadder for the past 6-7 years and the middle mouse button shit the bed roughly 5 months ago. Then I switched over to a Func MS2, and less than 4 months into using it the middle mouse button fucks up. So I can't keep buying new mice every 6 months and I need to get a mouse that's easily repairable. I've never soldered anything in my life, but my dad is willing to let me borrow his soldering iron if necessary. Essentially I'm looking for a mouse whose buttons/switches are easily replaceable.. does that even exist?
>>51696498
Rather than getting something easy to repair, why not just get something dirt cheap so you can easily replace it? Seems easier. Hell, you could even buy 2-3 of them and just toss it when it goes bad and pop the new one in.
>>51696452
Well, managed to figure it out myself by fetching my old Preset shortcuts out of an automatic system backup from earlier today, and then changing the path to reflect the new catalyst, worked fine.
Though fuck AMD for making that so backassed to begin with.
>>51696562
Presumably he wants something nicer buy doesn't want to buy a new one every year.
>>51696656
Well that's probably just bad luck. Usually a high end mouse lasts me several years at least.
>>51696498 the one that died in 4 months should still be under warranty though wouldn't it? Rather than trying to do this shit yourself you should try to contact the manufacturer for a replacement. Sometimes they won't even require you to send the old one back, I had to get a replacement for a bad Logitech mouse a while back and they just took my word for it and sent me a new one without needing the old one back. (Which I tried to fix myself for the hell of it afterward and wound up destroying irreperably.)

Is there a library for Java or a reasonable way to scan an image for the 3 predominant colors?
Especially if it has already bundled the color range together into the most common ones so it doesn't see light-blue, dark-blue, pigeon-blue as separate but counts them all towards blue.

Hey /g/, I'm looking to buy a new Tv to replace the crappy one I've had for like 6 years.
Budget is around £300. Must have features are:
- minimal input lag
- 1080p
- usb port
- good built in sound
I don't care about smart/curved/meme stuff but I know next to nothing about TVs. Are there any pitfalls to watch out for when buying new ones?
>>51697324
install nightly
>>51697384
Why does it need to have USB?
>>51697384
protip: don't buy online. go to a shop and look at the tv yourself before buying.

Really stupid question coming through.
I'm buying a new 2TB hard drive and plan to migrate my data from a dying 1TB that makes awful chugging noises and is really slow to access. Is there any chance the new drive will exhibit this behavior if I copy over files from the old drive?
What's the best way to run fsck?
What is a decent processor for a laptop? I just want to know how mine compares to the average.
>>51697510
A very small chance that the new drive is faulty too. You won't/can't copy over a mechanical fault.
>>51697533
I haven't purchased the new drive yet, I'm just paranoid of migrating cancer from the old drive and its dying controller to the new one. Basically every time I boot my PC its just an unbearable chugging noise for 5 minutes until it stops spinning.

As a complete beginner in coding, shall I learn C or Python first?
And secondary question; is Python similar to the C? In the sense of; is it like C but simplified?
Thanks in advance, kind anons.

where does /g/ put their stickers?
if at all
does a dvi-d to hdmi adapter work decently?
>>51697861
I would suggest C first. This way you'll learn the details behind a lot of stuff that with higher level programs would be hidden behind abstraction or otherwise taken for granted, but which I think it is important to be aware of.
Also as far as Python similar to C... well they share a lot of similar constructs, but they're kind of on opposite ends of the spectrum as far as programming languages go. C is a very low level programming language, while Python is a very high level one (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-level_programming_language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-level_programming_language) C is also a compiled language while Python is an interpreted one, which generally will mean somewhat of a performance overheard and less efficient programs, but much more ease in testing and quickly prototyping things since they don't need to be compiled before you run them.

A desktop computer with 8gb RAM or more, a decent processor (3.2ghz and up) and a good graphics card.
With laptops, you're stuck with one position for your keyboard. There's a lot more flexibility in general with desktop computers; plus they're more sustainable.
