If I'm not mistaken Windows keeps pagefile.sys, swapfile.sys and hiberfile.sys
Which one of these is safe to delete or disable?
Is it possible to cut video files without re-rendering them?
I have a bunch of huge youtube video files, but I only need some small parts from them. I want to extract these parts without re-encoding.
What tools can I use to do that, if that's even possible?
>>51770899
Yes you can. You would have to go into the configuration settings on both devices.
Nice dubs by the by.
>>51770938
I'm not an expert on the matter at all, don't really know shit actually but Avidemux seems pretty amazing at cutting clips and then outputting them as a new file
It's pretty quick too
>>51770936
Hibernation is usually disabled by default
Don't disable the paging file unless you have enough ram to never need it
On Windows 8.1 atm, if I update to Windows 10, will I have to reformat my drive, as in reinstall everything or can I load everything from another partition or backup?
>>51770958
Can I get rid of the swapfile? I remember disabling one them because they take a shit ton of storage space and I don't have a lot of it considering it's just a tablet
>>51770941
excellent! this will mean i can enjoy idols in new places.

as a guy who upgraded from 8.1 to win 10, my drive didnt lose any files besides windows 8 stuff also if i were u dont install windows 10 it fucked me up so bad it went back to 8.1

Anyone know how I can get it back ?
My Elan Smart Pad driver doesn't even show that option.
>>51770968
How much ram does it have? The paging file is what the computer uses when it needs more memory than what is installed. it basically uses harddrive space as active memory.
>>51771024
Only 2GB
>>51770965
You should consider backing up just in case
I wouldn't recommend upgrading just yet though as some people experience issues with win 10 after upgrade. We've gotten many computrrs in recently at my work place asking to fix issues with windows 10, usually involving the fact that you can't block updates from installing

Storage Space is the bigger issue, which is why i'm trying to decide which one's OK to get rid of, the pagefile or swapfile
>>51771123
i'm using 10.6.8.1 from 2012 on windows 8.0 and everything is perfect. this driver even has additional options in the registry, not just the gui.
no idea why they kept removing features
>>51771147
Yeah the fucking this is that it worked perfectly untill the last W10 update so it might come from that.
I'll try your version to see if it fixes anything.
>>51771129
Get an sd card or something then.
I wouldn't shut off the page file with only 2gb. The swapfile shouldn't be disabled either.
Can someone please help me?
>>51770944
>>51771261
Is there any specific reason? The thing is I distinctly remember disabling one of them prior and things ran just fine
>>51771353
They are both pretty important. The page file especially since you have only 2gb usable memory.
The swap file is for apps and stuff like that which I'm pretty sure it's 100% necessary to have.

I need some advice. My dad is getting a new laptop for Christmas and I got him an SSD for it. I want to do a fresh install of Windows instead of a migration to remove all the OEM bloat. Is it possible I can use the legit windows key the laptop has without calling microsoft?
If not, which pirated copy of windows requires the least maintenance? My current pirated copy of W7 requires me to run the crack tool every 6 months, i'd rather not have to do that for my dad for the next 5+ years. I'd like to put W10 on it because it would look shiny and new to him. Thanks

I'd like to make a video really small. But it has vital content on screen which is updated fairly slowly. So I'm wasting a lot on framerate. I'd like to make a slideshow with synced audio. I'm not entirely sure how to do it though.
I've tried extracting images from the videofile into a folder and removing 29/30 of them and I'm getting sync issues. But surely there's a better way than doing that I feel.
Can I somehow specify the output framerate of the video using FFmpeg?
>>51772002
OK well the 970 is cooler, uses less power, has enough memory for 1080p, and nvidia drivers.
But I guess the 390 is better for having a pointless 8gb as it's only good point

I am making iso copies of my movies, and one of them stalls while in the process of building the iso.
It is going straight to my hard drive, I'm not putting it on a disc.
Normally it takes between 45 and 48 min or 85 to 105min. After about 3 hours i went to start my next disc and noticed it wasn't done, and for that matter hadn't progressed at all.
Checked the disc for scratches, brand new looking. Restart computer.
Start it again, and about 9 hours later it is the same thing.
Stop process, shut down for 5 min, turn back on, notice it made an iso that is 70.5gigs
Normally it would just delete a cancled attempt, but instead it left a 70.5gig iso for a fucking dvd.
I started a different movie while i looked for help which is still in the process of being done, but seems to be going along just fine.
Can't find any information about this kind of problem, and the iso builder im using has been replaced with a new program so no luck from their site except i could try with the replacement.
I have windows 7 64bit (6.1, build 7601)
Using AnyDVD for drm removal. It should be up to date.
Using 7burn to build iso's. Haven't gotten a new iso maker since this one has been great until this problem, and has only failed on scratched up disc. Also it was actually made for windows 7.
No internet connected to computer, not able to pick up a wireless signal, and even if it could there isn't a wireless connect for at least 8 miles in any direction.

I've never played with hardward, and own an Alienware Alpha. I really liked that I can put it under the TV and quickly start playing cause I got 30min-1hour sessions because of kids.
I decided I would build myself something similar and would like your comments. Also should I get windows 7 ; 8.1 or 10. All that is left to buy is OS and the case that I'm waiting to get a rebate on. Overall build cost 1100 shipping included. I dont count the taxes cause I get them back with my company.
My only mistake seem to have selected a board with socket 1151 since I could have went with a cheaper CPU. I didnt know shit about board and dont know much yet so I went with the recommendation from a build.
I5-6400 ; ASrock H170 ITX/ac ; 2x8 gig ddr4 2133 ; 120 gig ssd for OS ; 480 gig ssd for games ; GTX 970 OC ; Case Silverstone RVZ02B-W ; 450W bronze powersupply.
Is the 4770k discontinued?
I went browsing for one on newegg and a few other retailers and it said they were discontinued and out of stock while others had stock.
So is this is a case of them actually ceasing production or bullshitting?
>>51772290
I never looked to upgrade it since i have been using it problem free since 2012. Imgburn wasn't around yet.
If you think imgburn won't have this problem i will be happy to try it, just saying i didn't even think about doing that since this is my first problem with it.
>>51771889
uh im a real noob with this but double the memory for the same price? is it also four times better than the gtx 660? or is the 8GB just a big number and the card has other issues? also if yes, is there an amd card with as much performance as the gtx 970 with half the price or so?
Does Alienware typically solder in their parts or do they have normal screws to easily take out? I never worked with a Alienware computer.
My friend has a Alienware computer that I haven't had a chance to see the computer in person, but he wants a new computer and learn how to build one.
Once I get a chance to see the specs, we'll probably put it in a bigger case (he told me his case was pretty small, so it might not fit larger GPUs in, but I have to see for myself)

None of them even gave me an error code or a proper error message, they all shit the bed and refuse to connect. Every one of them is ad-ridden and developed by some Pajeet or Zhang SOFTWARE LLC.

what's the point of the rest of your post?
>a board with socket 1151 since I could have went with a cheaper CPU

I'm pretty sure it's around 200$ like I said before, maybe a tad bit more. I'm not a turbo autist about the response time so it doesn't bother me that much honestly. As long as it does the job and has an HDMI port it's fine by me. HDMI compatible monitors are surprisingly hard to come by where I live, believe it or not. VGA is still pretty much the standard even on big monitors. People who want to go the extra mile usually just get a TV and are done with it, but fuck that, I don't have the dosh for a full blown TV.

I did! I used the disk that came with the GPU.
I guess that means the disk is out of date and I need from the site then?
If so, how do I go about deleting the previous drivers, so I'm not wasting space? Will it do that for me?
>>51772805
You should update for sure.
Just make sure you delete them with the Display Driver Uninstaller software. Don't really know if it's essential to delete the drivers this way, but it wont hurt.

My opinion is based off of having taught my dad (65) how to use them over the past decade, and video's of windows ten being used. Just putting that out there first.
With some setting changes, practice, and someone giving him a good teaching effort windows 10 should be fine. And all that is if he is slow to get it.
Simplify the setup, show him how to use cortana, spend time teaching him untill he has the basics down.
My dad was slow to learn, but with him being familiar with windows xp and 7, and still slightly confused by windows 8, he could hop on 10 with no problem and go. Show him how to use cortana and he wouldn't need my help very often.

Your responses remind me of this guy from denmark who was the first to actually teach me anything about computers. I still tell people the same phrase he told me the first time we talked, and you just said it "google is your friend."
He got me started, and from there I learned enough basic shit to make money from working on peoples devices as a non licensed ghetto computer shop. The xbox 360 and the red ring of death were huge money makers.
Thank you for your help with my problem and for the nostalgic memories, it has been a long time since i have thought about him.
>>51773116
Not that guy, but "muh grey-to-grey response time" is the worst thing you could possibly base a monitor purchase on.

Are graphics cards mounted with the fans pointing up or down to the bottom of the case? Do the fans push hot air out, or suck cool air in?

I need an USB hub that can actually handle more than one device connected to it.
The ones I have now don't charge my phone or tablet, or don't give enough energy to my external drives if I connect more than one to it.
Help?
>>51774029
That's some quality site, thanks.
>>51774009
If you have problems like the guy in the review did then check for a mic sensitivity setting in whatever you are using, if that doesn't help then turn of noise canceling.
I have 2x4GB sticks of ram in my PC right now.
Just got 2 more 4GB sticks of the same brand and speed, all I need to do is pop them in the same way and boot up right?
Had someone put my PC together for me last time so I'm not sure.
>>51774048
you need a powered hub, preferably with separate power.
>>51774031
the fans are pulling air from the bottom of the case and up. but the rest of your question depends on what case you have and the cooler design on your graphics card.
>>51774078

So I have a Dell Precision (M4500) Laptop with a shitty screen. Can I swap it with an LCD of a higher resolution (Of course one that's compatible). The only reason I ask is because I know wireless cards are black/whitelisted, and the one teardown video I watched said it must be the same screen as before. Granted I don't exactly trust some fuck on youtube, but i'd like to be sure before ordering a $70-$80 part.
>>51774090
Yeah you don't need to do anything special to install more RAM.
Except make sure you have the necessary extra slots in your mobo.

I was terminated on my Job last week. Application support specialist
I've done this for nearly 4-5 years and its always the same: companies hire me so I can learn about their shit niche applications to support, and then eventually I get laid off with nothing to show for it. I move from one shit industry to the next with experience that doesn't transfer well
how can I break this cycle /g/? I figured I could maybe specialize in active directory or other Microsoft shit but right now I just wanted some advice
>>51772919
Thank you good sir, imgburn didn't have the same problem.
>>51772919
Not that imgburn doesn't get the job done, but it is neither open source or "free" as in the Free Software movement. It is free to download, but be careful during the install process because it does try to bundle adware in.

I was afraid this would be the case. I keep my hub connected to my laptop so having a hub with external power would kinda defeat the purpose.
What is the default behavior while accessing programs under different users (for example via UAC)? Does it read/write as that user orjust elevates current user's access level to the one authenticated?
>>51774177
I did a custom install and didn't notice anything trying to be installed.
Don't know if it makes a difference or not, but i don't have home internet. I had to download it on mobile, then move to my computer to install.
I was even looking for adware and didn't see any. So maybe not having interwebs was a good thing this time.
Could you recommend me a relatively cheap LTE router ?
Also, is there any link to a guide on Elementary ricing ?
>>51774243
This is likely true (being offline negating the adware install), but imgburn is a known adware bundler. So just make sure you hit custom and uncheck and unsavory offers

>>51774420
Kill it with fire.
>>51774420
Seriously though, it just looks like the chrome is wearing off. You probably have sweaty fingers or high humidity where you live and you use it a lot.
If it is fungus for some insane reason, take it appart, use cotton swabs and high % rubbing alcohol to clean it. Let it dry, reassemble. And just incase this actually needs stated, don't use the alcohol any of the electrical component's.

Is there a good backup software I can use, or should I just use windows backup?
Any tips for backing up?
How can I debug my slightly old Corsair Force 3 SSD through CLI (Linux)?
>>51774857
Depends on what you're trying to back up. Cloud storage is awesome for certain things, but you really need a third-party software for syncing and backup management if you want to make a habit of it, because the first-party clients suck, almost as a rule.
Amazon offers unlimited cloud storage for $60/year, and Arq can encrypt that pre-transmission so Amazon can't sift through your shit.

So i wanna do a setup with 2 1080p monitors. I'll use it to play, watch streams and code. What's a good graphics card/cpu that can handle this well? Are the requirements for this even that high?

Syncback should be go-to
windows 8/10 have extremely nice file history feature, but its not really a backup as I see it
syncback only shortcoming is that its wont backup stuff thats currently open in use, unlike
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Copy
>>51775157
Yes, some have that option but I wouldn't recommend it.
>>51775192
>What's a good graphics card/cpu that can handle this well? Are the requirements for this even that high?
your mobo graphic card can do two at the same time with hands and legs tight behind back
>If i have 2 monitors, but only one pc with windows and ubuntu in dual boot, is it possible to somehow have windows on one and ubuntu on the other monitor?
of course not, monitors show output from the PC, and you have one PC so only one system is running at the time
>>51775245
But what if his second monitor was one of these?
>>51775211
Learn the shell.
You can learn network security and Linux administration with only basic shell knowledge, but knowing the shell well makes everything easier.

I just got a new router, I'm going to use it as a remplace to my 2nd floor router which is connected to the 1st floor one, the cable it came with it's too small to reach from my 2nd router to my pc, the good thing is, it came with 2 and with an adsl splitter.
My question is, can I insert my 1st router cable in the "line" slot in the splitter and use the output "modem" into my 2nd router? (my 1st router is already using a splitter)
I don't really know how to word it better.
Just as I got the mediaserver working, it seems to be shitting out (i suspect the processor as it's utter freezing and the BIOS is complaining about instability due to OC though OC is off) so I may start over as it was a spare parts build anyway.
Server side transcoding is a thing here, so would something like a NUC be enough, or go with something like AM1 (or even FM2/1150) ?

Hey lads. This isn't exactly a problem, just looking for opinions. Does anyone have experience with the HD429S Sennheiser headphones?

Overclocking a 5930k. Cooled by a H110iGTX.
Using http://www.overclock.net/t/1411077/haswell-overclocking-guide-with-statistics as a point of reference.
CPU Ratio: 45 (4500MHz)
CPU Ratio Mode: Fixed (EIST/Intel Turbo Boost OFF)
Ring Ratio: 35 (auto was default but guide said I should set manually to default to prevent overvoltage)
DRAM Frequency: 2133MHz
XMP off
DRAM Timing Mode: Auto
VCCIN Voltage: 2.0 (default is auto)
CPU Core Voltage: 1.275
CPU Ring Voltage: Auto (default)
Running aida64 for 8 hours netted me a perfect stress test. However, my computer would hard freeze, no BSOD or reboot or anything.
Lowered my RAM back down to 2133. Ran OCCT two times for an hour both times. No errors. Randomly hard froze again.
Upped voltage to 1.299 from 1.275, same problems.
I'm not at home to fuck with this shit but what would cause hard freezing to happen?
I expect BSODs and restarts but not outright freezing with no stuttering audio, though that happened last night after a successful OSST stress test.
Any tips?
>>51776308
If that's some kind of shit/rust, just try to clean it.
>>51776340
>how can I check if that is the case?
You can call them up and ask like a normal human being. It could be a lot of things though, your modem/router being shit, their central may be acting up, etc..
Just call your ISP and ask what's up with your connection being slower than a snail.
>>51776636
it happens really often, I rarely get even 90mbps on speedtest.
cant call em now cos it's night and they dont have a chat.
my setup: their modem/wifi router combo box, my pc and my parents' pc. soif it's the modem I'm fucked. I found out we still had our old router and my cable was routed through that, removed it but it's the same. I'm keeping that because it had good wifi and want to use that instead of the new one's, which is shit
Why does openSUSE get so much hate? Veteran Linux user here and I've come to like the distro quite a bit. It's beautiful, but can be considered by some as a more demanding distro system resources.
>>51776695
Call them when you can and explain the situation, then.
Which ISP ?
My pc boots up once for a second then off, then again on and finally turns on completely on the 2nd try.
Motherboard is a gigabyte 990fx-ud3 I think it's rev 3.0
Read that it has something to do with disabling turbo boost to overclock or something causes that and if you just leave it on it'll stop, but I won't be able to oc.
Also cpu is a fx 8320 @ 4.2ghz.
Is there a bios update or some shit to get it to boot up normally?
>>51776749
I'm italian, fastweb. it's one of the 2 that give this kind of speeds, it's supposed to be pretty good
>>51776838
Oh, I know nothing about that ISP then. I was hoping you might have been from Denmark, then I could've told you if you might actually be getting throttled.
But yeah, call them up tomorrow. Hopefully they'll just send you a replacement modem if that turns out to be the issue. Without knowing the situation in Italy, I'd guess that the modem is the ISP's property, and getting it replaced shouldn't cost you anything.
I'll ask again
