How dangerous is it to run my 980ti at 80c? I can get better temps with a custom fan profile but it's so loud
>>52077115
That one one feature I missed when I switched from Windows phone to Android.
http://www.androidcentral.com/how-save-google-maps-offline-use
>>52077184
iirc 980ti is rated supposed to throttle at ~85c to protect itself. So running at 80 may hurt the longevity of the card, but shouldn't do any damage.
>>52077213
How much to the longevity? I'm only looking to keep the card for 2 yearish
I am still on Firefox 38.0.5
I hear newer versions are super fucking bloated. Should I move to ESR or just get a new browser all together? I have a shit ton of extensions I love and it would be a PITA to move.
>>52077229
I dunno, running at 80c may prevent it from working five years from now. It may do nothing.
Can't you use MSI afterburner to have the fans run at the minimum speed?

Thanks for the link, and yeah, that was my favorite thing about WP.
currently I have 1 hdd in my r5, in the small hdd cage on the ground. im looking to add in 4-6 hdd in the next week, and I'm wondering how badly this will affect the airflow in my case. directed airflow isn't as important for my components, but I do need cool air to get to the other components. Is this going to be a problem for me? I'll have to add in the other hdd cage if that changes anything
I made a NAS out with the help of samba using a raspberry pi.
I am able to see the folder on other computers on my home network and on my pi but whenever I try to put files into the folder I get denied.
I'm assuming that I just need to give whatever user logs in superuser permissions. How would I do that?
(test.txt is in the folder by me using sudo in the terminal)
>>52077348
HDDs will block a fair bit of air from getting in. So, you have two options:
1. Move/add another fan to the front of the case or one to the bottom of the case.
2. Try static pressure fans. These may or may not work.

>>52077438
i have gentle typhoons in the front so i cant really get much better SP fans. I worry about moving a fan to the bottom, wont that end up causing turbulence and causing more harm than good? the gpu is almost a non issue, its a 295x2 exausting out the top in push pull, the cpu is a dual tower heatsink though, so the internal temp matters a bit more

Apple fans are not delirious?
>>52077490
It shouldn't be a problem. If you do decide to move it to the bottom, you could always set the speed to low.
The best thing to do would be to see what the situation is like with all the drives installed and then to go from there.

Is there anyway to combine a VPN with Tor? The one I'm thinking of buying doesn't seem the safest but it has a lot of IPs, which is my main concern. I was wondering if you could make it so that the IP displayed by the VPN is what appears to the internet, but anyone backtracking it would still have to go through the Tor network. Pic related is what I had in mind.

So I was almost finished installing Arch but towards the end there is no .xinitrc file in either root or my user folder. one guide said to copy a template but when I open it on nano to make it load xfce4 on boot, the contents don't match the screenshot in the guide and I have to manually startx every time. Is this how it is done?

Is it OK to write Dxtory/OBS recordings through my SSD? Or should I try to do as little writing to it as possible and make it on my HDD? Because that's what everyone who has an SSD seems to imply.
>>52077818
yes. if the file isn't there, we copy it from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.
but why didn't it generate this file after installing X and Xfce4? When I boot it takes me to shell login. Then I have to startx everytime to get into my desktop.

>>52077246
Stay where you are; some of my old extensions don't work now, most do, but I miss my esperanto stuff.
>>52077517
it really depends on what you're torrenting. With some stuff like pics, books, and really old movies, no one cares and you can go straight. But with newer stuff, use a proxy, or tor.
I have a question; do all ISPs record data in the US. I have a tiny rural ISP and it's no where near comcast, etc. volumes. Would they even bother?

There is no equivalent unless AMD lied about their VRAM on any model. If we are talking about shit cards, 390 is in the list for being underpowered for its price range. 980 shits on 390 easily.
I have two hardrives. One is Linux and the other is Win 8.1
I'm trying to put Mint in my other harddrive. Installation is great but then suddenly midway I get
"Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda. This is a fatal error"
What do?
>>52078082
two hard drives makes it complicated even for Windows install. I suggest you create a partition within the 8.1 drive and install alongside Windows for dual boot. Save you lot of trouble.
>>52077977
Yes. 390 is a pretty good card, and superior to the 970 in most cases.
>>52078034
>$500 card shits on a $330 card.
Well shit, call the presses.
>>52078082
I think it might involve the MBR. I don't know if 8.1 uses it, but Windows usually uses a master boot record as a way of booting up OS's. If you install GRUB through Windows, you're gonna have a bad time. I think EasyBCD could help uninstall GRUB from your MBR, but I've never had to do this before, I'm just letting you know that. Using GRUB when Linux is installed first is much easier, because then you can install Windows on a separate partition and they won't conflict.

it's too much work to set up a nice looking linux that just works.... is it possible for someone to just upload their linux blueprint so I have a better starting point?
Obviously, I have DirecTV. However, I always see this on my device manager. It always gives me properties, and the option to disable. How do/could I access this in any way? I've tried MPC-HC but it doesn't show on it.
>>52078436
Try ubuntu (or one of its many forks), mint, fedora, etc. if you're too lazy too setup a good distro.
>>52078436
>is it possible for someone to just upload their linux blueprint so I have a better starting point?
that's more or less what a lot of smaller distros are
the problem is that everyone likes different things, this is why there's so many distros that do almost the same thing

Should I bother upgrading to a powerline network from a wi-fi connection? The router is only a couple walls away, but I'm not desperate enough for an ethernet connection to drill a hole through them.

My headphones have these tiny vent holes, a lot of sound leak out from them which sucks since I'm on poorfag public transport a lot and people tell me to turn down the volume
What are the holes for, and would covering them with tape damage the headphones?
>>52078542
The bars are completely filled up all the time which is why I'm hesitating.
but I can't help feeling paranoid that the wifi is why I suck in online shooters
>>52078564
covering them won't damage the headphones, but it will likely affect the sound
>>52078490
unless you have issues with wifi signal quality, inteference/dropouts, latency, or bandwidth, then it's likely not worth it
this is an extremely general answer, but you also made an extremely general question
>>52078626
try speedtest or ping 8.8.8.8 and see what how long it takes/what the ping is. If it's incredibly high, there's a problem in your network.

Using a usb headset, volume control makes no difference in changing its volume. It can mute it but it doesnt change the volume of things. I have to use the one on the headset and that sucks.

I went and got Baka-MPlayer, and I'd like to ask if I'm understanding this correctly:
https://github.com/u8sand/Baka-MPlayer/blob/master/DOCS/settings.md
I can find the file that this is talking about and the mpv section within it. Does this mean I can just copy and paste any mpv.conf files into this and be fine?
>>52078564
Why don't you get closed heaphones or in-ear earphones instead?
I can't imagine how practical tape would be to silence open-back/semi-open headphones.
>>52078694
not quite
that config file is evidently baka-mplayer-specific
for one, it's in JSON format, not mpv's ini-like format
i do see an mpv section;"mpv": { # mpv specific options
...
},
though you will need to reformat them to suit
for example, it has;"msg-level": s,
which in the mpv config file, is written as;msg-level=s
Does Freesync make the image look any smoother or somehow better than Vsync, or is it just a way to remove screen tearing with less input lag?
>>52078742
the idea is to push frames "as they're ready", rather than being forced into a constant rate
for example, if your game is doing 55fps, and your monitor 60Hz, the result won't be perfectly smooth, since you can't evenly space 55 frames over 60
where with freesync the monitor would simply run at 55Hz to match the game
so it's like the advantage of vsyncs' complete frames (no tearing), without the disadvantage of having to wait for the monitors' next refresh period (less latency)
this is from what i understand, i haven't looked into it all that much
>>52078740

So, my friend is basically junking his semi-old alienware pc, and although my current set up is a lot better, I was considering taking his liquid cooling setup (especially the gpu cooling parts) for peanuts. Would I be able to take it out of his large alienware case and install it into my mid-size NXT case on my r9 280X? I figured I might have to buy a different cooling block, but otherwise I feel like it could work as long as I could fit it into my case

I just got 100/100mbit/s internet so I was thinking about uploading my photography archive to the cloud :^)

How do email confirmations work simply?
You click a link from inside your email and it takes you somewhere else.
How does that confirm that you are you? because you have to do it in a reasonable amount of time and the confirmer knows this? or do they detect that the email was clicked from the same IP that the account was registered from?

aah ok gotcha, and if nobody went to that ip which is linked to that specific generated email inside your email waiting for you that means nobody saw the link and only way would be for the hacker to have gotten into your email and using it instead of his own which is reasonably unlikely.
When I visit the facebook page of for instance "Netflix", all the content is in German, even though I've changed all my language preferences to English.
I guess this is because my IP is German or something like that. I am German, but I'm really an anglophile and 99% of the sites I visit are in English, so I don't really want that shit to be in German.
Is there any way to change this? It's not even a "Netflix Germany" or something, it's just the regular Netflix Facebook page. Pls help.
>>52079784
Yeah, it's like two-factor identification. Sure, someone could be in ownership of your phone, know its password, and also have access to your account password, but the point of having all of those road blocks is that you only need one in your way to prevent you from getting in.
Confirming your email requires that you inform the service that this email belongs to you, that you actually do in fact own that email address, and that you have the capacity to click the very specific link to activate your account. If you're asking because you're worried, don't be.

How does free W10 upgrade work?
I have a pirated W10 install on my T420 on an SSD.
If I take out the SSD, put in an old HDD and use the license sticker to install a legit copy of W7 to have Microsoft generate a hash (?) for my laptop, then put back the SSD with W10, will it have my ass covered? Or is a change in storage enough to have a different hash?
I don't really get all this. What I want is a legit W10 install, preferably to legitimize my current W10 install.

There once was an encryption tool prefixed with 'true'
And since that's been through...
A successor named 'veracrypt', appeared out of the blue
One tool someone might consider to pursue
However, based on the 'true', was one with a different seal
Packaged and maintained for Linux, prefixed with 'real'
Nothing was known about the 'real' tool
Other than it being dependent on
The maintenance of the 'true' one, now gone
Tell me, then, those with wisdom on such a thing
To what do we owe its updates? Please sing
Is it now based on 'vera', or simply on its own?
Can it be trusted, or should one leave it alone?

Are you sure about that ? How much time does it have left in your opinion ?
>>52082856
USB doesn't carry the analog sound. It carries digital information only.
USB carries the file (MP3 or WAV or whatever) and it is entirely up to the receiving end to decode the file into audio.
So no, it doesn't work the way you think it does.
Why are there fucking ads in my windows 10 start menu, and how do I get rid of them?
>>52082877
When you start seeing sector reallocations, that pretty much means each time you're writing to the disk, you're rolling a dice.
If I see a sector reallocation, I would be trying to RMA the disk immediately. Why wait?
>>52082537
grab it from the original source and compile it.
I'm running it like this without package manager.
>>52082893
>Why are there fucking ads in my windows 10 start menu

>>52082854
Look weird. Some of those figures in the data column don't make sense. The highlighted one is alarming though. Try a different program and back up any data asap.
oh well, i should have just googled it
computers fucking suck now.
>>52082899
Thanks for the info anon
>>52082919
What program would you recommend ?
>>52082893
>>52082931
thanks bro
>>52082889
I'm just going to go ahead and guess that there are no simple USB decoder ICs and I'd have to get some kind of microcontroller and write a bunch of code to do what I want to do right?

Look anon, I know this thread is called "Stupid Questions Thread", but really now.
Which browser app allows me to install extensions and which is the best overall?
>>52082930
I'm not sure about recommendations but speccy or crysaldiskinfo can read smart info. You could check and see if toshiba have any tools
>>52082940
I don't know what is your overall goal, but yes, it's not as straightforward as you think.
My clock is always wrong. What is happening to me?
>>52083014
synchronize it in the settings
is the time wrong in the bios?
then update it there too.
>>52083030
I do that. After some time it's wrong again. Occasionally by a number of years. I have automatic synching turned on but it seems to not work
>>52082969
Thanks. But theres nother issue. When my friend took off the HDD from his PC, he would get to the BIOS, but couldn't get to boot on his SSD anymore. Do you have an idea of what caused it ?
>>52083073
boot partition was on the HDD and not the SSD.
>>52082357
>>52082375
>>52082357
I'm not asking for operating system. I already have that. However the booting gets stuck after freeing kernel memory. Googling showed it is due to hardware changes. I want to wipe and partition the SCSI disk that's inside.
I do not have any SCSI adapters to connect it to my desktop computer so I somehow need to do it from the server itself.
>>52082973
I wanted to build an LED VU meter for my car. The audio signal needs to go into the VU meter circuit and into the stereo. I can use AUX for this but I lose all the extra functionality for the stereo that is only available with USB. So no song title display, no changing tracks or pausing via the stereo, etc. Not a massive inconvenience but an inconvenience nonetheless.
I can plug USB in and AUX and still control the ipod over USB but naturally no audio plays. There's no way I can play a song over USB and still transmit the analog signal over AUX.
Hey /g/. With the whole windows botnet thing going on I'm looking to switch to loonix on my desktop. I want a distro thats simple, easy to maintain and free of bloat. I'm not too keen on gentoo/arch neckbeard tier os's as I have fuck all time to maintain. I've used suse on my 1337book for 12 months now and it hasn't given be too much trouble other than libre office fucking up the formating in my assignments

Got the $50 amazon fire tablet for $38 on blackfriday. Have prime too so just using it to watch tv shows(six feet under, jag). Mostly using amazon gift card balance to buy stuff.
You cant even install any of the apps unless you have a credit card linked to your account.
Anyone here use a prepaid debit card on amazon? Whats a good one
These threads are always helpful when I need advice or suggestions so here's another.
I recently installed 2 more case fans in my Phantom 530 case, and did a complete rebuild to make sure everything was dust free, cleaned, etc.
Along with that I cleaned off the old thermal paste (the one that came already applied on the corsair H100i) and reapplied fresh paste just to give me that little extra squeeze in temps. Upon booting up, I noticed that my temps were nice and low where I'd expect them, however during a game of pretty much anything, they start ramping up into the 60s (normal), however after a few hours I noticed all of my max values were in the high 90s and 100.
So my question is, could I have applied too much (I definitely didn't put too little) thermal paste which caused these higher temps? Keep in mind, before putting on fresh paste I would never hit 100 and almost never 90s. It would Max out around 85.
I'm thinking I should clean it and reapply it using a different method (I used the "pea sized" method where you use the pressure from the cooling system to give it spread), however I'm wonder what you /g/uys think. What would you do/recommend?
CPU is i7-4790k
>>52083054
Replace the battery on your mobo.
They're just cell batteries, not expensive.
Make sure you get the size right.
>>52083131
Does the server not have an optical disc drive you can stick it in, and then instruct the bios to boot from that?
Will a Core i5-4690K last me for a couple of years at least being able to do everything? They're on sale today for 280CAN
ive wondered, windows 10 has all these outright privacy concerns, but does os x have the same shit. Cant find proof. Even if I disabled all sharing and diagnostics sharing?
>>52083350
yes it's a good CPU, you should OC it if you bother to get the K version
>>52082960
I'm not 100% sure about the extensions, I'd imagine most/all allow you to do that in some fashion.
Personally I use chrome and it's fine for me. I got incognito mode like the true hacker I am so FBI can't trace me.
Seriously though, I think a question like this will get a lot of shit flinging about which is best and that ones bad or w/e. Id say just pick whatever you want and try it. If you don't like it do something else. I used to use Firefox but then it kept crashing for w/e reason so I switched to chrome. And I definitely hate IE/edge or whatever the equivalent is to internet explorer. That things terrible in my opinion.
Just try one and see what you think. Like I said, Not 100% about the extensions
>>52083350
Man, I'm still using an i7-920 from 2009. I think it will live until 2020. I game on it at max settings, I do Premiere Pro, compile programs, use Unreal Engine, it trucks along perfectly well.
So yes, it could even last you a decade if you treat it right.
>>52083369
No. Apple doesn't yet have a model of selling user data so any telemetry is actually disable-able.
>>52083313
You applied the paste correctly, however it should be less than a real pea size, and it might have gotten fucked while spreading from the pressure.
Try again and make sure there is equal pressure from all sides when securing in place the cooler.
>>52083340
I have burned it on disk and inserted it into the server. Prompted to choose which drive to boot from. After selecting the optical drive the server starts booting from it and then gets stuck. Last message is:
Freeing unused kernel Memory: 496K free
And then nothing. Hands there.
>>52077080
I got a 600W power supply for my build because the 500W and 600W (both EVGA bronze) were on sale for the same price. I need ~370W at minimum. I have an i5-4690K so I may OC eventually, but will I ever need that much?
More importantly (this is my first build), the power supply won't actually be consuming more than the 500W at the same loads, right?
>>52083371
Yeah that's why I was getting the k. It's not something I would do right away, but I really want to have that option open to me in the future.
>>52083439
You sure that the memory isn't busted or anything?
I mean, people must have thrown it away for a reason...
>>52080162
just use encrypted.google.com
it doesn't get localized
>>52083454
>paying extra for the ablity to oc
>>52083472
Actually no. If I buy it during this sale, I'll actually be paying 20 dollars less that the 4690 costs.
>>52083420
Ok I'll do that. Also, anyone know of the "credit card" method where you spread it out with something like a credit card or so kind of tool before putting on the cooler, to give it a spread before hand? I've never done it this way and just read about it the other day
>>52083498
but you'd be paying 70 dollars less if you didnt have to pay forr unlocking
>>52083521
Just put a little bit on the cpu and push the heat sink on evenly. Its not rocket science m8
Does comp on BUT no beep + no post indicate dead mobo?
This is after I reseated everything and tried using only igpu.
>>52083527
I'm not sure what you're saying. In this case the unlocked version is less money than the locked version.
If you're complaining about Intels pricing model well I have no control over that. Email them about it and leave me the fuck alone.
t. Not an Intel executive
>>52083350
go for it anon, even if it wasn't the K version, it'd be worth it because you only save $15 going for the i5-4460 in canada computers.
>>52083565
I don't understand what you're asking.
It shouldnt turn on if the mobo is dead
>>52083460
The company was just replacing them with newer models. They are functional and operational. I am able to boot into the HD that was originally in (HP-UX). I would like to replace it with either Gentoo or Debian.
>>52083567
But you're supporting there pricing model and being cucked in the process
>>52083576
The computer turns on, fans spin but nothing else. Power button didn't work, no video, etc.
>>52083565
Could be dead. Some component died and it's stopping the boot/POST from completing.
>>52083576
A "dead mobo" can mean many things. I consider a mobo that doesn't POST (but turns on) to be functionally dead.
>>52083594
do you jump start it or does the button stop working after the fans start spinning?
>>52083580
Try burning another disc. If that still doesn't work, it could be a bug with the installer. Try another distro that supports that architecture. If that -still- doesn't work, you should raise an issue with the distros with the model of the machine you're trying to install it on, and see if anybody else has tried it ebfore,
>>52083624
It works to turn it on, but not off. I jump started the PSU to make sure it wasn't a faulty PSU earlier.
>>52083575
Yeah I'm gonna a go get it. Only 2 left in Brampton watch them sell out before I get there and I have to drive to Hamilton or some shit.
>>52083582

ye try with a different ram sticks for starters, or just one if you have multiple
>>52083628
I have already tried Debian with no luck. But it got stuck on different message.
I'm trying to boot Gentoo cd. I burned it onto RW. I read that earlier version of HPPA servers might have difficulties booting from RWs. So I'll try normal a disk now.
Does anyone know how I can set up a rss for a particular general on a 4chan board? I will probably get too swamped with work to check the catalog manually so I was trying to think of ways to automate the process. But I'm dumb and can't find any tutorials with google.

I just got an Acer Aspire ES1531 with Microshit Windows 10. Want to replace it with Linux ASAP. Does anyone know if the Aspire ES1531 copes with Linux well? Do the generic Linux drivers work?

Did, tried no ram, just 1 stick, etc. No beep or post as the initial post said.
i have 3 monitors:
2 with vga and dvi output (old 1280x1024 ones, but with good pva panels)
1 with vga and hdmi output (cheap 1920x1080 60hz tn panel)
my current gpu got 2x dvi, hdmi, dp so i was able to connect all 3 to it.
my new gpu that arrives in 2-3 days will have 1x dvi, 1xhdmi, 3x dp. i also have dvi, hdmi, vga, dp ports on mobo and integrated gpu in my 4690k.
will i lose anything if i connected 2 monitors to gpu (hdmi and dvi one) and last one to integrated gpu, or getting dp-dvi connector would be better?
if it's better, would i gain anything from getting 2 of these and connecting both of these monitors to dp?
What the fuck is wrong with this piece of shit iMac? HDD fan is as loud as possible.

Yes, but I want to use it for a particular general. I don't want to get notified for every new thread. That's how RSS works right? I'm kind of new to RSS I've only used it for torrents so far.
Anyone know of some decent, hopefully, bloat and botnet free, program for windows that can limit download speeds for programs?

Are you sure it's not your router being shit?
>>52083995
Well. By shit I mean, I have 3 roommates who will complain since their internet is slow as balls.
Obviously I can limit most downloads with qBittorent or DownThemAll. But a lot of launchers and shit refuse to add a limit option.
>>52082909
Realcrypt?
I'm running it too (from package manager), and already got an update like two days ago.
But since there is no truecrypt anymore, I'm wondering where those updates come from.

And without any luck. Again stuck on the
Freeing kernel memory 496K.

Veracrypt.
I thought you were talking about veracrypt.
I'm using it since truecrypt vanished on windows and linux and it works very well.
Do you guys know a program that allows me to play a game on one screen with gamepad and also lets me do for example web browsing without losing focus on the game window?
>>52084064
Well, my stupid poem might have been a little confusing.
I might consider going over to Veracrypt, but since there are still updates for Realcrypt I'm not sure there's a point.
>>52084101
play the game in borderless fullscreen
This is an issue that's been around for years and I googled and found other forums all over the place from Imagine-line, Ableton, to reason etc.
If you've ever used any DAWs then you've prolly at some point used or wanted to make Orchestra music and play with it. So there's Edirol which has a very nice orchestral kit. However here's the problem, every time you save your work and come back, it resets the VSTi/plugin. It resets it back to flutes. All of them. No matter how many you may have opened, they al reset.
Well, the files to this are DLLs and I know those are easy enough by most people who have this kind of knowledge can edit these files, but I would have no idea where to begin on editing the file. Would any one have a solution to this? I can more than likely upload the DLL here and let whoever look into it. Any help?
>>52084101
game pad? Are you talking about the wii u pad or you talking about your tablet?
>>52084107
No I did not mean that. I understand your point but, I want this. Lets say my brother is playing a game on one screen with gamepad, and I want to make something on the other screen. Problem is if I click on the other screen the game windows lose focus and gamepad does not work until I click game window.
>>52084124
>game pad? Are you talking about the wii u pad or you talking about your tablet?
Xbox 360 gamepad.
This might sound really stupid even though this thread is called stupid questions, but..
I've had this idea for a while to get a NAS, and I need it only for storage/backups, no streaming. When my computer requests to read a file from it, to watch a video I put on it for example, it doesn't need to transcode right? I always read about people building a nas with a good cpu to stream their own things to other devices, so I thought it was only needed in that case. If I just want to watch it from my pc the nas doesn't need to transcode it, right?
>>52084147
you mean controller? do you mean you're playing your xbox or are you on PC cause you're sounding like you want to do 2 things at once with out the computer to stop focus. the only way you can do this is if you dual boot your PC with both OS' running at the same time and that's already a lot of work. No you initially cannot do this.
And the only "game pad" there is is the wii u game pad. That is a controller. I had to google that to understand what you're talking about

My ISP has been throttling my torrents, can someone tell me what to do to get past it?
>>52084339
Change the port number. There's plenty of tutorials on google.
>>52084339
call them and call their bullshit. they don't know exactly what you're downloading but their assuming it's torrents, tell them it's all steam games and you play online and that if they don't stop you're switching. If they don't take you serious, ask to speak to a supervisor
>>52084250
Thank you for your help. I have found 2 software that does what I need. However, both of them are not free and bloated as fuck. For those who wonder, Actual Window Manager and Displayfusion.

Quick question /g/
I got a old 1,86ghz core2dou that i want to vuild into a NAS for someone
i already have a couple of harddrives, the thing currently runs windows XP and has 1GB of ram (although i could upgrade it to more, max 4 gb)
>tl;dr
How does one simply make a NAS out of an Desktop
I wannt the easy way, i've googled Freenas and shit
Suppose i could put win7 on it and mess around with shared folders and tell my torrentclient to save on a network path
I'm new to linux, so this is probably something very obvious
This application that I use has inbuilt ads, and I'd like to disable them. I've googled already, but could only come up with blocking site's IP, which makes the application unusable. How could I block a specific address to an image, while letting every other traffic from that IP come through?

If so, where can I read up more information about it?
