How do you write a rootkit the one that will make me in control of a pc outside my network for windows? With c/c++ or python?
>>52132062
this is real easy with C, this works on all machines. simply insert your ip address and compile and run it on your machine and it will work. note, R00t has two zeroes and not the letter O.#include <remote.kit.h>
extern int StartR00TKit();
int main (int argc, char * argv[])
{
StartR00tKit(*insert your ip address here*);

If it has a 90 degree swivel/rotate or a standard vesa mount it can be mounted vertically. Keyword is 90 degree swivel/rotate or vesa mount
All monitors should be capable of vertical display, you'll just have to turn the image 90 degrees in the OS.

Is there any definitive difference in quality between certain brands & types of HDMI cables?
Any reason to choose the $30 cable from Best Buy that comes in a fancy packaging, over a cheap cable from the dollar store?
I'm strictly talking about image/sound quality here. I don't give two shits about durability, so the fact that some of them are steel-braided or carbon fiber means nothing to me.
>>52132975
HDMI cables are DIGITAL.
There cannot be any difference in visual/audio quality, only in cable strength/longevity/HDMI version.
I have an old PC I want to upgrade with an SSD (Evo 850 256gb).
The motherboard (p6X58D-E) has SATA 6gb/s support but non natively (Marvel controller) apparently this controller is a piece of garbage. It also has 3gb/s ports (intel) which I will probably be using.
My question is:
1) Will I still see most of the performance gains of having an SSD or is it a waste on this hardware due to limited throughput of the controllers?
2) I should avoid the non-native SATA 6gb/s ports in favor if the intel ones, right?
3) when installing windows 7 do I still need to hit F6 to install SATA drivers or only if I need RAID support? I don't remember if they are needed for AHCI.
>>52133173
1) Your computer will start faster, programs will load/start faster, and data transfer speeds will be faster (compared to an HDD). As to if it would be a waste, it depends on what you use your computer for and how old the components are.
2)If you go for the 3Gb/s ports, that would defeat the purpose of an SSD. 6Gb/s and better or not at all.
3)Windows 7 should just recognize it as an available drive. Nothing more, nothing less.
>>52133300

U wot m8? He'll still get all the benefits of the SSD, just not the full speeds...

this may seem kind of stupid but how much shit can you get in if you learn how to bypass a paywall and download porn for free? I messed around with the source file of a tube website and figure out an alternative URL with a hash that allowed you to download the file directly.

>>52133891
>Do these websites really care if you do this?
They have to find out first. The servers themselves are stupid, they'll just do whatever you tell them to and not notify anyone.

What's the most effective way to increase my general computer savviness?
All my life I have used Windows, and I consider myself a competent user. I know the basics of Java, Python, and C++. I can do fizzbuzz stuff but not much more. I have read the book "Code".

Price limit is up to 120 euros for CPU.
So I ask your advice.
I don't want after buying it be like "FUCK, x CPU sucks, I wish I could change that to other one."
imo i3 has nice upgrade path, and AMD is kinda outdated.
AMD has very nice overclocking.
I would use it for gaming, Arma 2, War Thunder, Project Zomboid, Total war and etc.
Maybe playing around with Unreal Engine 4, but not sure if requirements would be good enough.
i3 is dual core, but has 2 threads in each core. Does that make it kinda quad-core?
So if there is kind based anon, and has nothing to do, would appreciate help. Thanks in advance!

I just swapped my first graphics card the other day and things are finally running at 60FPS. However, my processor is still 6 years old (i7 930, 2.80GHz) so apparently I don't technically meet a lot of the requirements of games that I'm running.
How easy is it to swap CPUs? Is this something where I'd need to buy a whole new motherboard to replace it with something new? If I could keep myself from buying a new motherboard and save money, which processor should I upgrade to?
>>52136432
you could theoretically keep the motherboard, but you'd have to buy an old CPU to be compatible.
So you really want to upgrade both.

the age of a component has nothing to do with it.
it'll heat up the same as if you'd stress the CPU using any other program when it gets used.
the noise depends on your cooler.

They use completely different coffee for tab completion. Bash had gone full retard, using dbus for everything. Don't know of it can be compiled without.

LEDs provide extra energy (red ones in particular) to the components in the form of light energy. Ever since computer parts manufactures started putting photosensitive materials in the computer, they need light to work at their best. Ever wonder why cases have windows? Well now you know.
Blue LEDs provide a cooling light energy that keeps components cool.
Green LEDs provide eco-friendly light that helps your computer save energy.

I already have a 64GB Adata premium sandforced based SSD and 250GB Crucial M4 SSD in my main computer, which were like 120 and 300 eurodollaroos back in the day.
Since SSDs became so inexpensive I was considering getting a Crucial MX200 1TB SSD, which is awesome since it's essentially a SLC drive as long as it's less than half full. Also has all kinds of write/commit protection.
Now I was wondering though. Wouldn't it be a better idea to just get two MX200 500GB and doing Raid-0 on them? Data security is really a non issue since I'm doing full backups to my file server anyway.
But I didn't use Intel RAID in quite some time. Will it allow me to still monitor SMART information?
Also is there any reason to get a single drive over two at the same price?
(sata ports are a non issue since I have a server which provides SMB shares and 10 sata ports on the motherboard)
Also usually I'm helping people in these threads, so I figured I don't google for once either. Thank you.

i don't remember the name but is on the debian repos, you'd execute it with the drive to repair (like $ program /dev/sda)
it might have a dash - in its name but i'm not sure

>will have a doubled increase in chance of drive failure
as I said I don't care at all about that.
>You will not get any speed increase as SSDs
well for 4K access obviously not, but for sequential access you still get twice the throughput. And considering that especially with games most texture files are giant, sequential access can't be completely useless. Or am I wrong here?
>>52141450
Nevermind.
It seems that greasemonkey decided it didn't want to use it but I attempted to reinstall it and got a prompt to run it again.
Is it possible to see every call made/received on an iphone?
Apparently the call "history" goes back only a month at most, and i need to recover a deleted contact that i called around october

just don't use the OEM install, maybe?
>>52141489
because liberal arts love macs, since they are computer illiterates obviously
>>52141476
there's no such thing as future proof. It will probably be fine for while though. Also no matter the frequency it's certainly not high end anymore.
>>52141532
No, you're right. I just don't think in any real world situation you'll see that increase

why is my psu's fan making a grindy noise when I'm not doing anything intensive
but when I am doing something intensive it shuts up
How do I stop Windows 10 installing in Windows Update. I just want to install my updates.
I have deleted the GWX folder in System32
I have uninstalled KB3035583
I have unticked KB3035583 in Windows Update
>>52141574
>just don't use the OEM install
I read they put shit in the BIOS so it activates whenever Windows is booted.
That said, they did say they removed it in their newer models, how would I do a fresh install and not use the OEM install?
Would that get rid of all Lenovo apps and useful drivers?
>>52141605
after posting I just read a few reviews and you seem to be right, there are just marginal benefits in real world scenarios I use. It would be practical for video editing for example, but I don't do that and don't plan to.
So I think I will still buy the two drives and just not RAID them. Thanks anon.
>>52141773
Yw and good luck
>>52141712
Of course it would. Just don't use their recovery crap and disable what you can in the BIOS.
Sorry I can't give you any actual advice on how do this since I own a Latitude.
Windows 7 or 10?

An ugly one.
What is an acceptable rate for hard drive head parking interval? I know wd greens do it like every 8 seconds or so, my drives have around 12000hrs and 120000 parks each which amounts to a park every 6 minutes or so.
is that ok?
useless cunts
So I have a DOA radeon 280x that I can't return for a replacement from where I bought it anymore. I've already got a 290x now, is there anywhere I can take it to get it fixed? Is it worth it to do so, could I crossfire or w.e. or should I just try to sell it?
>>52142129
Filename you potato.
>>52142218
it's fine, why do you even worry about it?
>>52142221
way to be an asshole, read OP and remember that nobody gets paid or any kind of reputation for helping in these threads.
>>52142402
Maybe you should elaborate on what's wrong with the card...
>>52141668
So which part of forced updates didn't you understand in regards to windows 10. Get Enterprise and stop messing with it.
I just got Charter, because it's literally the only provider for my new apartment with over 25mbps.
Naturally I want to use a VPN to torrent, are any of the paid ones actually worth it? Are any of the free ones not slow and selling your information? Finding unbiased information on this seems impossible because of how prevalent shills are.
>>52142468
As far as I can tell it doesn't do anything. It'a not detected in any machine, doesn't start up or respond to anything.
>>52142512
Have you tried it in another computer? If not, start there.
It won't sell as is, except maybe for a handful of dollars. Also you do realize you have factory warranty, even if the seller doesn't honor his.
>>52133891
if there is a paywall, i highly doubt the backend is going to serve you the byte stream which contains your porn

I get between 0,6 to 1 MB/s on Nord VPN. And have multiple VMs running, since they allow up to 6 simultaneous connections.
They don't log anything and are based in Panama. I'm quite satisfied although it could be faster.

My GPU datasheet says 55°c is the max fan inlet temperature, but i don't know is the temperature of the air or of the die. It's a quadro k620
How do I open a No Media file?
Is there any way to convert it to a JPG?
>>52142510
also the killswitch works flawlessly and there are no DNS leaks in Win10, which cannot be said for every VPN provider currently.
However there was this guy in a VPN thread a week back who said he wasn't satisfied with NordVPN, but he didn't respond to what he's not liking about it.
>>52142643
it's probably the die temperature when the fan starts spinning. Everything else makes no sense. Link to source?

Can I use a 4pin power connector if a mobo has an 8pin connector? Will something bad happen or functionality (sleep?) be disabled?

No media is just a file that tells most Android apps that there is nothing inside the folder where it is regardless of whether there is media or not. Basically, "these are not the droids you are looking for"
Is there any real difference between installing Windows on a tablet vs. a PC, considering that I'd be installing it from an ISO inside an existing Windows install? I have a Teclast tablet with 32 bit Win10 that I want to swap out for 64 bit.
>>52142901
Depends on your CPU and how much power it needs.
I need to buy a gigabit Wi-Fi router. Is there a /g/ approved model?
>>52142882
I have no idea, but why is this even relevant? I think you might be the first guy to actually read that thing.
I just can't believe the fan won't spin @ 55°C ambient.
>>52143163
yeah, probably...
>>52143122
Are there any rules for that, like max wattage? a quick check suggest 8pin for 150w+, but that's kinda silly for a rudimentary board.
It's going to be paired with an A8-7600, which is rated at 65w. It should be good if it's simply a power supply issue, and most other boards in this range are 4pin.
>>52143333
maybe you should get a new power supply anyway....
WHO KILLED IAN MURDOCK

It's probably fine, then.

Haha... I am. I'm doing a poor man build here, sub 200USD. Ah well. Thanks for help.
Is there any way to reduce latency in peer-to-peer online games?
Basically me and this one friend always suffer from a rediculous amount of lag when playing e.g. payday 2 or ZAT, though when we play server-based games like cs:go we both play smoothly with 20-40~ish ping each
>>52143474
Not really. Ping depends on several factors, one being how many hops your signal has to make before reaching its destination.
You >might< be able to improve this by using something like wtfast to try to ensure better routing, but don't expect too much.
>>52141802
Thanks lad, not too good with Windows so might have to just live with it because losing all the Lenovo drivers could mess shit up
>>52135346
Uninstall that crap and use a proper IDE, like VS or Clion
What's the deal with Firefox ESR?
Why is it recommended on here so often?
What add-ons are advised for Firefox users to keep browsing secure/private?
Thanks /g/ for helping me with stupid questions this year.
Thanks 4chan in general.
How difficult would it be for a 24 year old with no programming experience and a background in logic to develop a 2d platformer game? I'm thinking of learning C#/Unity to do it
I've got an HDMI video output at 480p. I need it to be converted to 480p YPbPr. What's the best way to do this with minimal latency?
My cpu is overclocked slightly, If i run a prime95 torture test for 15 minutes, my temps reach 80 degrees Celsius. Am I okay to accept this or should i drop it back a bit?

Obscure apple appstore game
Im looking for an escape the room game i played on my ipad some years ago. It had 5 "chapters" each a different story, with 4-5 levels in each chapter. The first level was a man trying to unlock the door to his apartment, the story ended with his eife dying of cancer. Another chapter you play as a secret agent, with your girlfriend betraying you (theres a censored shot of a handjob in this chapter). I never finished it, and im wondering if anyone on here has played it, too.
Alright... I am still using windows 7 and I need to mount ISO's... what do you guys use?
I hear Daemon Tools Lite was infested with adware? Is there alternative, lightweight, easy to use virtual rom software?
I've got a Oneplus One and I recently swapped to a new carrier and plan where I get 10GB of data, with the first two months of the plan giving me unlimited data.
I've been torrenting stuff, and when I'm not holding the phone, I get around 600-850KB/s download speed on three bars (out of four) on H+. However, as soon as I pick up the phone, the H+ reception drops one bar, and the download speed instantly plummets to around 10-25KB/s. If I put the phone down again, it rockets back up to the aforementioned 600+.
What could be causing it? Could getting a case help the issue? It's annoying as fuck because it also means all of my other internet-based apps run like shit when I'm holding the phone.
Stupid question here:
How can i use idx/srt/sub files for my subtitles in mpv?
