Is the Nexus 5X worth the money? My M8 shattered and I want to replace it with something worthwhile.
>>52098582
Yes.
>>52098610
How do the speakers compare? Camera?
>>52098622
Camera is a better than m8, but that's obvious. It has only one front-facing speaker though, and nothing can quite compete with the htc speakers. The 6p does have dual speakers.
I fucked up my moto g 2013. Used fastboot instead of fastboot and hardbricked it. Should I just buy a new phone or is it worth to buy a motherboard replacement? Apart from the camera I kinda liked it.
Also I'm kinda attracted by windows phones
>>52098718
*instead of Mfastboot
>>52098668
Ahh, okay. Isn't it basically the 6P camera. How is the battery life/screen getting hot. Because I use my phone a lot and using the m8 for a long time it got fucking scorching. Also, is there any difference getting it from the google store from amazon minus prime shipping?
So I installed dolphin browser formy android. Everything works nice but one thing. Dolphin eats shitload of ram. Like one open tab with facebook takes 350 mb of ram with dolphin and only 65 on chrome. WHy is that? I installed ad block for dolphin if it matters.
>>52098822
Well, the cameras should be similar, but seeing as they are produced by 2 different companies, they might be slightly different. I wouldn't think there'd be a difference between getting it from amazon or google. I'm not sure about battery life and temps, as I'm using an m9 right now, and I feel you bruh, the back reaches 60°C if I do anything that requires power.
>>52098873
Doesn't dolphin support flash? That's probably the reason.
>>52098914
Might be even more stupid question but does eating shitload of ras means phone battery gonna discharge quicker? Or is it unrelated? My phone has 3 GB of ram ( and 2 gb of free ram all the time) so ram usage is not a big problem,
>>52098925
I don't think so, if it does it's probably very minimal.
I bought a cisco switch 2960 8 ports and installed it at home. Because work I know how to configure cisco hardware. Normally cisco hardware is for buisness networks but I need it for some experiments at home. The switch is not always online so I shut im down when Iam finished. Because that I have to restart him every day. Is that healthy for those switches, I think not?
>>52098972
its not mechanical so keeping it working is probably not better than turning it ON every time you need it
>>52098286
mediainfo can tell you this. install it via your package manager then you'll want to write a quick wrapper script to execute it against each of your videos and then output results to a file. something like this would be a start pointfind ./ -type f -iname '*.mkv' -exec mediainfo {} \;
alternatively if you just want to download subs regardless, you could install sonarr or emby.

why not leave if switched on? if the noise is a pain you could consider opening it up and doing something with the fan.
>>52098159
i dun goofd
only thing that is on is my hdd activation light
it still comes on even if ssd and hdd are unhooked
no fans, nothing, turns on, just that light
>>52099123
should also note i did reset cmos with the pins as well as taking it out for about half an hour, maybe that died/dying.
Light is on no matter what too, shut off the psu and it goes off, turn it back on, activator light back on

When a certain line of the screen tries to display something dark/black, I get massive artifacts on the lower half of the screen. It goes away after 5 or so minutes if I leave my screen on. It comes back after having my phone go to sleep for a minute or so.
It has no problem displaying light colors.
Some info that might help.
I dropped the phone 4 months ago(maybe 1 foot drop, nothing happened then except for a scratch on the back), this issue only started today.
I did not get the phone wet.
I've never tried to flash any custom rom or even unlocked the boot loader.
I already did a factory reset, still the same.
See pic related.
>>52099443
this is the gayest explanation
seriously don't know what the fuck you're trying to say
>>52099462
I thought I made a perfect drawing explaining the issue. I forgot I actually took photos of this shit kek.
Anyway, see pic related. If the phone tries to display something dark/black near the middle, shit goes bonkers. Pic1 is <2 minutes from sleep, Pic2 is <3 minutes from sleep, Pic3 is the phole displaying light colors no problemo.
It goes away/gets fixed if I leave my display on for >5 minutes, and comes back if I leave my phone on sleep for >1 minute.
>>52099548
And I forgot the image.
>>52099548
Is it still under warranty?
If so don't try anything the manufacturer could hold against you to avoid repairing or replacing your phone and send it back

I already sent an email to ASUS, hopefully I get a reply soon. Just thought maybe this is something I could fix myself, quite inconvenient to send it to get fixed because my boss uses whatsapp to communicate with us when he can't make it to the office.
>>52099613
Tell your boss to email you like a normal employer.
>>52099613
Well, in my opinion it looks like a defective lcd panel, so quite hard to fix without replacing it.
The part about it going back to normal after some time make me think it's not a cable and I don't think a software problem could do that, especially after a factory reset.
So I think the best to do is to find someone who can lend you an old android phone to use in the meantime
>>52099630
It's also convenient for me, guess I'll have to go with >>52099683
What do you guys think could have caused this to happen though?
For the first time I also played games on it straight for 2-3 hours during my flight. I managed to completely drain the battery to completely null, fell asleep and forgot to charge it. When I powered it up it had this issue - though I am not sure when this exactly started happening. When I was playing games it didn't notice this issue.
Also I think it's becoming worse and worse.

Has anyone had an iphone 5s that has bent? Luckily I inherited this, so I didn't pay for it, but I replaced the screen and just realized now that the battery life is god fucking awful and the frame is bent.
Is this shit even worth it? I feel like I've made a bad investment and could probably sell it for cheap and recoup the money I paid for the screen.

I gave my Mum an Android tablet for Christmas and she has no idea how to use the damn thing. She has a basic grasp of Windows but is at the sort of level where she still calls her browser "the Google" and has used the same Blackberry Curve for the last 6 years. My Dad understands Android enough to use it but not enough to explain it or get to the bottom of the sort of strangely worded questions my Mum comes up with.
Has anyone in this situation found a useful book/web site/video that might end the horror of receiving a phone call every hour to explain something simple?
>>52098159
what software should i use for data collection over a SpotFi system?
My power supply (about 8 months old; EVGA Gold 80+ 850W) makes a loud clicking noise intermittently; and reproducibly whenever I alt tab from a heavy to light CPU/GPU load applications (eg. from a game to a web browser).
The issue appeared a few weeks ago, and recently I've also heard the occasional very loud crack- like sparking/arcing/shorting.
The thing is fucked and I need to RMA it right?
Because something like a graphics card I could deal a few weeks without- but the PSU being gone would render my only PC useless. Would it be a better idea to just buy a new PSU, RMA the current one and sell the latter?
>>52101512
Definitely fucked and a risk to your entire PC. If it's arcing, it's potentially going to produce power spikes. I'd personally do what you're proposing and throw the replacement in a drawer as a spare.
I have this PC for gaming and I wonder if I did right with the air flow. I only have that CPU fan + the fan behind it at the case.
Should I buy more fans for the top of the case or the front side?
Also the PC is a bit loud even if I don't do anything. Not sure the noise comes from the fans or the GPU. Any advices?
>>52098159

>>52101558
>Should I buy more fans for the top of the case or the front side?
I'd suggest a couple of low speed (e.g. sharkoon silent eagle 1000) fans on the top.
>Not sure the noise comes from the fans or the GPU. Any advices?
It's sketchy as fuck but you could stop the CPU fan for a fraction of a second and see if that stops the noise then do the same with the GPU fan. Obviously, only do it for a very brief time and do it while there's minimal load on each.
>>52101598
Locationguard or equivalent for your browser. Set your location to downtown Pyongyang.
>>52101546
Yeah, I turned my PC off after the second crack noise since I knew then it was the PSU and clearly deleterious. Hopefully it hasn't damaged the rest of my rig.
I might splurge on a Corsair AX860i; same wattage as the current PSU, but with Platinum efficiency. Certainly not buying an EVGA PSU again.
Thank you for confirming. I might also take your advice and keep the refurb instead of selling it.
Cheers.
>>52101610
Thank you!
>>52101613
>Platinum efficiency
Unless you're generating your power by burning diamonds, you're unlikely to see a return on the added cost in terms of power savings over the lifetime of the PSU.
I dropped my external Seagate HDD for the second time. It's detected and all is working fine, but it makes beeps every now and then. When I google HDD beeps, it's all people with broken drives, but I can access my data just fine.
How fucked am I? I could grab a new 4tb for $139 during the boxing day, but I wouldn't want to replace something I could fix.
>>52101627
No problem, if that doesn't work then they're using IP based location so you'll need a VPN or equivalent. The scary thing is that Google uses data scraped from their wifi assisted location in Android in conjunction with the GPS receiver of the phone to basically tie specific wifi networks to specific locations. Browsers like Firefox and Chrome then use this to report your PC location.
>>52101633
Likely, there's a small amount of surface damage. Each time it hits it the drive stalls and beeps. It also damages the head and peels a little more of the coating off. The correct response to any physical hard drive damage is to turn it off and only plug it back in once you have a big enough drive to take a complete dump of the contents and only for that purpose.
Okay, I installed a Gtx 960 yesterday after removing my old card and drivers, but whenever I plug my DVI cable in the card it doesn't display anything on the monitor, the card does work, the fans spin and everything, but I don't know why it won't display anything, wat do?
>>52101603
Thanks. So I don't really need a fan to bring air inside my case, right? Only two more on the top.
Is there a huge diffrence between 1080p / 1440p and 60hz / 120+hz (on 27") ?
>>52101631
Certainly not, but I (perhaps erroneously) assume "more money spent" = "more robust performance".
These are my available choices and insofar as the replacement doesn't damage my PC I'm happy to spend an extra $100- in the hope this doesn't happen again.
>>52101661
This makes a lot of sense... ;_;
Thanks
>>52101674
It's not strictly necessary (to throw some in the front) unless you've got a lot of 7200rpm drives stacked with no free bays between them.
Personally (from switching different fans off while running Prime95) I've found 3 exhaust fans (2 on the top, 1 at the back) to be more effective than disabling the top two fans and spinning up the front 2 I have but the case makes a huge difference and positive vs negative case pressure is a huge point of contention on /g/.
I dropped my phone from about 6 feet high and now the battery seems to run out quicker. Would the drop be the cause of this or am I just imagining it dying faster? The phone is only 2 months old btw
>>52101719
Ok then I'm going to order just the two for the top. Thanks a lot!

No problem. Hope your data survived. I recently discovered that my friend had all the photos he'd ever taken of his kids on a single external drive that also doubled as his movie drive. In the end, I managed to pull about 10% of them from the dying mess of scratched platters.

Would a 65mbps router bottleneck a NAS media server severeley?
I have a NAs attached to my router. the router serves internet to 2 computers wirelessly, plus my ps4 on etherenet. The NAS is on etherenet too. When I try copy or move large files from the NAS to my wireless laptops I get speeds maybe around 20mbps. Often it times out. The whole setup is still connected to the itnernet, but nothing is being downloaded, so the system shouldn't be clogged. Also if I try to stream a movie from the NAS it will often play 10 minutes or so, then the buffer will run out and it will stutter for a good 30 seconds until it resumes playing. Increasing buffer sizes in smplayer does nothing to alleviate that.
What's going on. Is my router just shit, should I upgrade?
So I was using mariadb, and (while trying to upgrade the mysql excel connector) I accidentally installed a new version of mysql.
Apparently this corrupted all my shit. Now neither mariadb nor mysql will even start.
Mariadb gives me this error:2015-12-28 16:45:38 12668 [ERROR] InnoDB: Attempted to open a previously opened tablespace. Previous tablespace betdb/news uses space ID: 4 at filepath: .\betdb\news.ibd.

InnoDB: We do not continue the crash recovery, because the table may become

InnoDB: 3) If the file system or the disk is broken, and you cannot remove
InnoDB: the .ibd file, you can set innodb_force_recovery > 0 in my.cnf
InnoDB: and force InnoDB to continue crash recovery here.
mysql doesn't even give any errors, just crashes out immediately.
Tried running the mariadb upgrade thing but it didn't help.

>>52101785
Some NAS's don't mind being connected directly to a computer by ethernet, others only work if you assign them a fixed IP address and still more straight up refuse. If you're in the former category, try connecting it directly by cable to your computer and see if the problem persists.
Some routers are unbelievably odd in the throughput speeds they can achieve, I had a crummy unbranded one what would happily serve 50mbps from it's WAN port to any computer but maxed out at 10% of that after a few seconds for internal LAN transfers, wired to wireless or any other combination of the two.

Don't worry about it. I appreciate the input nonetheless.
>>52101870
it really depends on a lot of specifics, usually any other ISP would just be paying to use their lines and the service available would be very similar.
>>52101880
If there's no physical signs of damage on the phone I'd take it to Apple and see if you can get a replacement.
>>52101856
all right I'll give it a shot. my home internet plan expires in 6 months and I get a free router upgrade after that so I don't want to bite the bullet and get one myself if I don't have to.

How easy is it to replace your cpu cooler?
I occasionally find my cpu getting over 60 degrees Celcius, which is 140 Farenheit.
>>52102663
You were right
Thanks

Very as long as you can follow basic instructions.

Visit her, watch tv together or something, sit together on a couch, basicly get physically close to her, then take remote and change to some crappy program, or protest that she is watching something boring. Get playfull, ask for remote then tickle her if refuses to give it to you. Once you start touching each other its easy. Ive done to my cousin and we made out. Ive done this with few other girls and almost always it leads to kissing and sometimes sex

This may be more of a /gd/ question but maybe I can get help here.
So a hobby of mine has always been drawing, and now I'm looking into buying a wacom tablet to use with Illustrator/Photoshop. Looking at their tablets there are two groups in totally different price ranges, the cheaper ones with 1024 pressure levels and the more expensive ones with 2048.
For someone just getting into it as a hobby and nothing else, will getting the cheaper one with the 1024 levels make that big of a difference? Or should I spend the extra money to get the better one?
I installed a theme that removes the command bar
how do I get it back without changing theme? using win10
>>52102905
Those multiple pressure levels are of more use when you're trying to emulate something like painting, if you're sketching, they're of less use.
I have a 4gb r9 380 VRAM card, why does it show it's only 2.9gb in this game?
Also the GPU-Z shows the VDDC power to not go a bout 120w at 100% load. Is this normal for this gpu (thought it'd be 200W at least)?
>>52098159
my stupid question is:
Will this motherfucker fit in the air 540 case? My current psu is starting to wear out and it's slightly taller, and I had to force the thing in. It doesn't even fit properly. I couldn't get all 4 screws in for whatever reason.
I have an i7-4790k, and when I check in my open hardware monitor, some of my cores have different temperatures. Now I understand that this is "normal" to some degree, but I was wondering if anyone knew why this happens? In both the technical and practical applications?
Could it result as an uneven spread in TIM? Or an air pocket between cooler and CPU? Assuming programs being used require multithreading, why are some cores maxing out like 90 or w/e and some 80s?
>>52102950
>shows amount of available video memory
it's not clear whether it means total or free memory, "available" can mean either
>>52102950
Isnt that a (projected) memory usage for those settings?

>>52102939
Thanks m8. Will just get the cheaper one then.

I forget the name but it's not porn, if that was your motivation/interest.
>>52102985
>>52102983
It's the amount of available memory. It's probably a software thing.
Is there a way to test the amount of VRAM and the power the card draws with just software?
>>52103035
> 40-50 max
naw man, It was mainly that way with Wolfdale and Yorkfield that got unstable with over 55/60ºC

How do I install this openbox theme?

I was planning on buying a new pc, but they don't seem to come with stock coolers anymore, so I was planning on buying one too.
searching a little bit, I saw everyone putting the thermal paste in a weird way from yt videos, from "thin layer of pase", to "just a drop in the middle".
everyone in the comments whatever the setup is, they say it's wrong.
I've been doing it like pic related for the past 8 years.
everyone seemed concerned about bubbles or something. I've always tried to make not a thick nor thin layer, but to cover almost all the cpu, since with the pressure that the cooler makes, it's going to spread the paste to the sides i didnt cover.
am i retarded for doing it this way? is there a "true" way?
I just don't want to fuck up this new computer i want to buy.
(Top view of what I put and how i spread it - and side view of how dense it is)
>>52101682
Then buy a seasonic
>>52103255
afaik cpus still come with a stock cooler

Are there any safe Tpb proxy sites ?
>>52103455
Like this. You should never spread it out.

Most folders contents load quickly, but one specific folder loads very very slowly.
Why is that?
I have a laptop running Mint that keeps overheating and shutting down because of the CPU temps. I know that one can overclock, but can I underclock? I want to cap my cpu speed at a lower level so that my laptop doesn't overheat so fucking much all the time.
>>52103557
oh ok. is it because it's a different type of paste? or in general.
the way I showed it's how i spread the white one, and in older computers.
>>52103713
In general
Spreading creates an uneven surface, which makes it much more susceptible to air bubbles
>>52103713
Some pastes are thicker but the principle is the same. I used to recommend Arctic Silver 5 but have since found Arctic Cooling mx-4 to be superior in performance, ease of spreading and not needing running in.
Tryna get some shit off of an android phone that needs to be factory reset. Been trying an adb pull but I can't get the motherfucker to recognize in adb. Tried all the usual shit, tried Kyocera's driver, tried the universal driver, still fuckin' nothing. And now the nigger won't even recognize in device manager. Really I just wanna ask if what I'm attempting is even possible before I waste any more time on it.
If I don't plan on overclocking, is there really any reason to buy a motherboard better than a 50-60€ Asus or Gigabyte one? From my understanding the difference is only for stuff like OC and more ports and connection I don't really need.
>>52103825
Oftentimes you'll get a lower end chipset, like a 970 instead of a 990fx or an H85 instead of a Z97, which might affect various obscure motherboard functions that I can't be arsed to look up right now, but yeah you're usually fine.

what is more 1080p future proof
r9 390 or gtx 970
>>52103825
More premium motherboards may also include better on-board audio and better a better on-board network card, more ports (SATA, USB)/PCI express slots/RAM slots. Otherwise, there isn't much difference, so just get what fits your needs.
i don't understand anon
>>52103395
accept what? a dick in my butt?
>>52103912
>1080p
>future
>future proof
Technically, the 970 is less future proof due to the 3.5 GB VRAM issue, but that is a pretty much a non-factor for 1080p.

so i have an audio interface connected to a laptop running windows 10
it has 2 usb 2.0 and 1 usb 3.0, the inteface should be connected to a usb2 port, one of these ports acts wonky, so it's connected to the one that works fine
whenever i connect something to the wonky port, and i disconnect it, say a pendrive, or a hub with mouse/keyboard, the computer goes to sleep
any clues?

Figured it out. Use omxplayer or one of its frontends (tboplayer). Silky smooth. Make sure to set memory split to 64 or more in raspi-config.

What am I fucking up /g/? I have never had this hard of a time installing an OS. I am Trying to install over my Windows 10.

Help.
So I am trying to use one REPLACE command to take data from one file and create two seperate databases (OUTPUT_A and OUTPUT_B). in FoxPro 9.
Does anyone have any idea if this is possible, and if so how?
Im getting a fucking headache
Essentially my code looks like this:INSERT INTO OUTPUT_A SELECT * ALL FROM DATAFILE WHERE VARIABLE_A >"1 "INTO OUTPUT 1
INSERT INTO OUTPUT_B SELECT * ALL FROM DATAFILE WHERE VARIABLE_A >"1 "INTO OUTPUT 2
SELECT OUTPUT_A and OUTPUT_B
REPLACE VARIABLE_B WITH "2" ALL
SELECT OUTPUT_A
COPY TO "FINAL_OUTPUT_A" TYPE foxplus
SELECT OUTPUT_B
COPY TO "FINAL_OUTPUT_B TYPE foxplus
FoxPro is so god damn awful

Pic related is an upgrade not including the gpu (I already had that and I'm not changing it for now). Considering non-k variants of Skylake cpu's can be oc'd on asrock z170 mobos, how do you think this build will work out? It'll be miles better than my shitty athlon x4 750k. I heard some anon got practically the same thing as me but with a gtx 960, which performs similar to my 7870. Also, I have a custom water cooling setup that should keep the cpu nice and cool for that exclusive oc ability on the asrock mobos. What do you think?
>>52105103
daemon tools is malware for some years now, avoid it.
either use a modern windows where it isn't needed anymore or use wincdemu.

Can anyone explain this to me? I thought converting the color matrix was supposed to fuck the colors up, so why did this fix them? I don't understand.
Is there any disadvantage to using bt.601? I looked it up and apparently it's intended for SDTV, while bt.709 is for HDTV.

It appears I don't have to rotate the Wacom tablet seperately from the screen in my X201T anymore. I just rotate the screen with xrandr and the tablet works the way it's supposed to without rotating it with xsetwacom. I'm using Fedora 22. Could somebody explain this behaviour? MagickRotation script still works the old way (it rotates both the display and tablet so I have to rotate the tablet back to normal, I guess I'll just make a sloppy script to replace it).

And the HDD fan is being a dick too. I thought it was just Plex Server overloading this thing but it just happens regardless. These aren't very extreme temps for my CPU fan to be 600rpm away from reaching it's max, right?
I've noticed this after I got a TV and started turning the fan off in my room to listen to it. Also... I moved my computer to a different room so that contributes to me noticing this now. I say this because idk how long it's been going on. I've always had headphones on and a loud fan to cancel the noises.
CPU fan just kicked off and it sounds quiet now but I bet the HDD fan will kick on later and be even louder than the CPU fan. Fuck..
