Does anyone here know a good lightweight no nonsense program for downloading crap off the internet? I specifically want something for youtube videos and mp3s but a general program that can manage downloads would be grand. I don't care if it's basically comandline or minimalistic , it just needs to be light, fast, and usable. I've been using jdownloader 2, but it's full of bloat, is slow as shit, and is constantly giving me errors. I'm using wangblows 7 64bit.

I want to charge my smartwatch through my PC while the PC is off. Is there such a way to do this?
Sometimes this happens with my computer: I go to turn it on, acts like it's going fine then it cuts off, have to unplug all USBs, the power cable and flip psu switch a couple times. Plug the cable back in and pray that shit works. Then plug all my peripherals back in. Happens 1/3rd of the time. Any idea what this is? I've changed to a new motherboard and that done nothing. I'm thinking it's the PSU, is there anything I can do to prevent this?
>>51869192
no but modern pcs' generally have a bios setting to enable usb power while asleep/hibernating
>>51868951
Stay comfy in the clouds pupper.
Also, can anyone tell me how much performance is affected by moving the temp folder, browser caches, and page file from an SSD to an HDD? Which of these changes, if any would cause a noticeable reduction in speed?

hallo, please help me /g/ :[
I'm having trouble booting my thinkpad t440p, it's running win10 (inb4 snarky comments, it's a standard-issue laptop for my major from my uni so it's not like i had a choice about that).
anyhow whenever it goes on standby sometimes it doesn't boot back up, all the lights turn on on the keyboard but the screen doesn't turn on, and it keeps 'trying' to boot (the lights flash on and off like it's about to turn on but doesn't several times); it's especially common when the batt is low (sometime I have to play around with plugging in AC power and removing battery a few times before it starts, sometimes i let the batt drain completely, plug in AC, try again, and it has worked; either way it delays my using it and is a pain in the butt).
i've been told to try updating my bios but when i run the bios update utility I eventually get the error msg:
>Failed to read BIOS.
>The utility proess has not completed.
and then nothing.
I've checked the lenovo foums and it appears at least a couple other people have the same problem but nobody's provided any advice in their thread.
Any advice /g/? Thanks in advance.

You can literally make a live USB or DVD of a linux distro, and run it.

I have a harddrive I want to get a file from. Unfortunately something happened to it, which made me abandon it entirely a few years back, I'm not sure what actually happened but apparently it's worse than I thought because when I tried to boot it as the sole drive in the machine, it refused to load to the desktop and when I tried System Recovery from SafeMode, it failed with "Cannot access C:\"
Is there any point hooking it up alongside my current harddrive and trying to pull something off it like that or is it just completely fucked? Or, more to the point, is there a way to just get access to a list of files on it and pull the one I want off into a USB drive without having to actually load Windows?

C++ is pro tier
Python is more of a get-er-done language
C++, you know more details and are more in control
Python, you don't reinvent the wheel
Serious programmer, lifelong hobby or career, then C++
Else Python
Some pros use python for convenience, but know other languages.
Disclaimer: I didn't like either, learned C. Hated C++, and found when I wanted more detail on how python worked, I landed in C territory.
I'd recommend C as a first language. From there, you can easily move to other languages.

It's a new build, it's just been crashing at random since I got it started up. All sorts of bugcheck codes at different times, sometimes when I'm doing things and sometimes when it's idle.

>>51871807
If you are just starting, go with Python
The nuances and strengths C++ has over Python will be pretty worthless to a new coder learning menial code, making the learning curve even harder.
Once you start understanding what you are doing and why you are doing it, you can jump into any language pretty easily. And at that point youll know what languages you will need for how you like to code.

>>51871807
C++ can compile down whereas Python is generally interpreted. This means that C++ is inherently faster since the machine's executing everything directly rather than building and interpreting bytecode on every run. C++ is more complicated and abstract, though. I'd suggest using it only if you need a high amount of power or low-level access to your hardware, such as for video games or drivers, etc. Most other applications that you would want to make may be possible with Python

What are ways to minimize file sizes? I want to make my reaction images under 1kb, specifically the black and white ones. I resize them so the largest dimension is 125px (The size of a 4chan non-OP thumbnail)
For a black/white reaction image I doconvert reaction.jpg -resize "125x125>" +dither -colors 2 -type bilevel smallreaction.
and either png or gif since jpgs were always higher
for the png i would do pngcrush -brute to reduce the size and then I'd compare and sometimes the gif would be smaller and sometimes the png would.
Anything else I can do to reduce filesize?

A mail/webserver or VPS doesn't cost all that much.
A domain costs even less.
You don't need a super expensive server just to run a mail service. You could probably manage it with an RPi if you want to host it yourself too.
>>51873394
Who do you actually buy a domain from. Like nobody owns the internet, why do you have to pay for one.
>>51873273
And printers laying about ink running out, no allowing me to print more, but somehow taking out the chip on the cartridge and putting it back on solves it
>>51873424
Think of it as buying an address, much like how most ISPs would have you pay a little extra for a static IP.
You buy a domain from whatever domain registrar tickles your fancy, they'll all give you pretty much the same service at roughly the same prices. How much it costs depends on the type of domain, whether it's .io, .com, .net, or whatever.
I suppose you >could< >>technically<< host a nameserver yourself as well, but have fun with that.

Why can't every USB port from now on be a microUSB port?
Yesterday I've installed some .NET updates for Win7 but somehow an unnecessary thing sneaked together: CompatTelRunner.exe.
This is a file that comes with KB2952664 but I never chose to install this update, only the .NET framework updates. I worry that these .NET updates might automatically install dependencies or similar stuff without the user permission.
Can anyone link me an up to date list of Win7 updates to avoid at all costs? This one was a Win10 preparation update for example which I never wanted to install, yet it went through anyway.. I bet there're another 2 or 3 that went through the same way, this is really annoying.

i got a nice mitx mobo with built-in wifi. unfortunately, the wifi is extremely terrible. can i just buy the cheapest pair of antennae on amazon to replace the stock ones or do i need to be picky?
>>51874682
a lot of ms products automatically prompt windows updates. the updates aren't packaged with the software though, so just unplug your router while you install in the future.

What's the smallest GNU/Linux DE-ready I can find right now? I'm was going to install Mint but is 1,5 GB, I'd like something smaller.
>>51874797
Elementary OS is around 900MB or so, based on Ubuntu.

isn't that the beggar OS though? that guy pisses me off, I'd rather stay away from any sort of code related to him.
Does anyone know why the Google image search function was broken?
What's the point
>>51874825
if you're using chrome like a non-c͏uck you can just expand the image and right click it. "Search Google for image" is in the browser context menu now.

hi guys, quick question about how resistors work/are rated.
I have 5v supply coming from a wallwart via USB, and I need 3.3v (for an ESP8266). ESP8266 apparently requires about 150-200ma when transmitting, 3.3v @ 200ma gives a power requirement of 0.6W.
Obviously the easiest way to do this is a voltage divider, 1700 ohm on one side and 3300 ohm on the other. I have a 1000 ohm resistor, a 680 ohm resistor, and the 3300 ohm resistor - they're all rated for 1/4W or 0.25W, less than half of my power requirement.
Will it cause a problem if I put the 1k & 680 ohm resistors in series, then the 3.3v going to the esp8266, then the 3.3k resistor going to ground? Will the resistors blow out because of the load?
(I kind of find this laughable, a resistor blowing up because of 0.6W across it, but it's always best to be safe than sorry)
thanks!

Nah, no problem. Have fun.
My GPU clockrate is low even during load. My GPU is an MSI Radeon R9 390. I have installed Crimson and MSI Afterburner.
Why won't my GPU put in the effort to stay at the set core clock frequency when the framerate is lower than the screen refresh rate? It feels like it's lazing around at 90 FPS even though I have set the max FPS at 121 in-game. The GPU doesn't even get hotter than 47 C! When I stress-test it with Kombustor, it runs at max clock speed at all times and stabilizes at around 70-75 C. Is there anything I can do to force the card to fucking do its job properly and make an effort while playing games?

The network install? I already have a Debian net install ISO but I can't into CLI at all. Is there really nothing smaller than 1.5GB/1GB, other than eOS and not a net installer, with a DE inscluded in the ISO? I'm on data cap and I can't download much, otherwise I'd just install Mint.
>>51874817
I've never heard of this. Could you explain?
>>51874925
This one's just under 1GB:
http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/openSUSE-Tumbleweed-KDE-Live-x86_64-Current.iso
CLI is not complicated at all. You just need to use some commands to get around and shit. Basically "ls" to list files and folders and "cd" to enter them (or "cd .." to go up one directory) and vim or nano to edit text files, the rest you can Google.

oh nice! I'm browsing the http folder right now, they have a Gnome version too like Mint... this looks good, though do you recommend KDE version? I've zero experience with any linux DE so I've no idea which is more functional or less buggy.

Looks fine, but I'd get the k model, you'll probably want to OC in the future even if you don't think you want to now.
>>51875005
They don't allow that anymore, you can only register without a phone number if you are registering from an Android device on a Wi-Fi network (there's an exploit), otherwise you need to get a free VoIP number but there're not many services that offer free numbers, if they do they probably track the shit outta you.
Anyways, you can find video guides on YT how to get a free VoIP number, if you wanna try anyway.

Mate, the 670 was/still is a good card. I'm running two right now and it almost maxes out TW3.
>>51875000
KDE will require some small configuration to get it to your liking, so perhaps you'd like GNOME better (I prefer KDE myself).
openSUSE itself also requires some small configuration to get things working (non-free video codecs and shit), but you can Google that.

when I hibernate my computer at night it turns back on by itself at some random time between 3 AM and 5 AM

So I'm going through the pile of computer parts I got from a yard sale for cheap back on Saturday, and I noticed this little thing:
There was a Gigabyte motherboard, and there was some unknown processor in it. I took it out, and it appears that it's brown around the edges, and there is no label to identify the processor model.
What happened here? Did it get overclocked and burned out? I don't have a spare PSU at the moment so I can't test it. Is anybody able to identify the CPU based on the small label on the bottom?
All I know is that this is a LGA 775, DDR2 motherboard, so it could be a Celeron, Pentium 4, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, or Core 2 Extreme...?
>>51875094
A very poor lapping job.
>>51875080
Have you tried disabling wakeup-on-lan from the BIOS?
>>51875117
it's all disabled already
it has been doing it ever since I installed windows 10
>>51875104
Lapping? Does that mean it's broken?
>>51875094
I tried to scan the barcode there, but the image quality isn't good enough.
>>51875136
It means to wet sand your CPU on a something like glass, to make your CPU heatsink as flat as possible.
Its supposed to help temps.
When you dont get all the way through, and you are only getting the edges, it means your sanding technique is bad.
There is a reason you use thermal paste, to take up those small imperfections. Leaving it in that shape probably made temps worse
>>51875125
It was a yes-or-no question. Does "it's all disabled already" mean you have disabled the wake-on-lan feature in the BIOS settings?
>>51875081
I'm running a 2500k. I recently out two GPUs in my PC. Before I OC'ed, they would only go to around 65% usage. After I OC'ed to 4.6Ghz they go up to 90-99%
>>51875136
correlation and causation.
Yes it's probably broken.
No, not from the lapping itself.
The fact that someone went out of their way to do that to the CPU means that they were probably abusing it elsewhere with overclocking and cooling. It may be fine but it might not be. It's like buying a riced out car on craigslist. It's probably fucked.
>>51875173
I specifically checked the bios as well as the device thing in windows and they were both disabled.
>>51875186

I had an Asrock motherboard which would turn itself on from powered OFF in the middle of the night.
It was a windows scheduled task
>>51875186
Not bad.
I have a K myself, despite arguing against it here, but it turned out to not like being OC'd much.
If you're unlucky like me, it won't do you shit.
What happened to publicbt.com? I'm getting DNS errors when I try to connect to the home page, did the site go off? I didn't find any news though.

My computer just bsodded during a game, and booted in repair mode. However, I had a power cut during the repair and now it won't boot. It must detect the hard drive (since there's no _ in the top left when there's not bootable device), but it's just a black screen where you'd attribute the windows logo. Is my hard drive/ graphics card fucked up?
It was suggested that I "mash" f8 when it boots up to access the recovery menu, but it's not doing anything.

Used to be due to having x86 architecture, but even that shouldn't stop you from being able to use more.
Are you running Windows 2000?
>>51876240
win7 sp1 x64
>>51876221
more hertz is definitely better for fast paced video games.
i would also go with a TN panel for the lower responsetimes, unless you really want the better colors and viewing angles of an IPS.
your card is powerful enough for 1440p, so i would go for that.

What (exact) sort of RAM do you have, what CPU, and what motherboard?
