Seems like everything would have to be upscaled. You may notice more flaws.
tl;dr - why did changing dns servers fix my connection issues after getting a new modem with old router setup?
I got a new modem and had issues with it connecting to my router, it would connect to my PC just fine though.
It would show I had internet connection on my desktop but wouldn't open webpages, until I eventually tried changing my dns server to 8.8.8.8 like some video told me to.
Everything works great but now I have to change the dns server on my iPhone to get it to connect to wifi.
Why did I have to manually swap dns servers and is there any way to avoid having to manually adjust the dns on every new device each time I connect to my network now?
Do all Laptops with high DPI on Windows just look a bit shit and have blur? Surely it can't be so
>>53537594
If by 2k you mean 2560*1440, then it can be worth it. BluRays will look the same, they don't go that high. Almost every game I own can run at 1440p, you just need the GPU to drive it.

Disk manufactures measure Kb as 10^3 vs the way computers measure Kb as 2^10. As you can see, 1000 <> 1024 so you have a discrepancy. Also, the formatting has some overhead.

Sup /sqt /,
I have a friend who's a bit short on money atm and we're going to reuse one of these power supplies. He'll just be powering a CPU (i5-6500), ram (ddr4) and a hard disk. 300W is more than enough. He'll get a new PSU next month so this is temporary. It'll be connected to a UPS so practically no risk of electrical fuckery from the outlet affecting the PSU.
Which one should we use?

Alright, I have a couple stupid questions.
First, what is the best way to clone and restore an OS install? What is the industry standard, professional way to do this?
Second, how do I infect a computer with virus and trojans, and then clean it up? I want to learn how to clean infected PCs. What software and tools are used to do this?
The reason I want to clone and restore the install is so I can practice cleaning PCs of different types of infections over and over. I have a spare PC, so I figured I could use it to learn.
>>53540582
1) What OS are we talking about?
2) Depending on the OS use the default browsers turn its privacy and security settings to the lowest it can go. Now go browse all those junk emails from your Nigerian prince cousin. Or just get on any site that doesn't default to "https"

Really the question is, are they an interesting/fun retail store to visit?

Fry's has just about everything, I would imagine so. The places tend to be pretty huge and you can find a lot of even obscure stuff there.
>>53540844
So you'll be one of like 100 suspects?
>>53540939
I wouldn't say you need to stop, just hide it a little better. You ISP can usually see the traffic going out and coming in and torrents tend to have a very noticeable trace. So instead of a few large loads every few weeks after a big movie is release. Do some every few days, then call and complain about throttling your network,because you "work" from home.

I'm looking for a used laptop for college.
I wont use it for anything too intensive.
Would a 3rd generation quad-core i7 be a lot better than a 3rd generation i5 or would it just throttle (in an ultrabook)?
I was determined to buy an i7 laptop, but i feel like it would be going to be a waste and I could spend the money on a better screen, for example.
On the other hand the price difference is only about 80€.
Any advice?

because, like I said, the price difference isn't very big
>>53542397
What's the price difference?
>>53542418
It was in the post, but I guess I can repeat it.
A laptop with an i7 costs about 50-100€ more than one with an i5.
Remember that I'm buying used.
I have a pair of cheap (< US$5 converted from my currency) stereo sound boxes for PC, 1W, that drains energy from 1 USB port.
They simply doesn't emit any kind of sound. The LED lits up, but there is no sound.
It's not worth the price to pay somebody else to fix, but should I fix it myself? It's worth? Should it be difficult?
What I know is that these type of sound boxes have terrible sound quality, so I would prefer giving them (working) to someone instead of using them myself.

>>53542458
Since you said "Only about" I will assume money isn't a real factor. I'd go with the i7 just because of the extra two cores for just in case. Saves you having to buy something with more power if the i5 doesn't work out.
>>53542508
Would you be willing to spend more on the parts to repair it then you did on the actual speakers?

I'll use it every day, for many hours tho.

I have 3 DVDs that have a crack of 1cm lenght in their borders. Is it safe to put them on the drive? Or could they break inside and then give me "headaches"?
>>53543195
if the crack is along the outside of the disk its kinda ok to use on a low speed drive (some software exists to limit read speeds too)
if the crack is on the inside of the disk it would be best to not put it in the drive, unless you really need the data it has in it (you might need to disassemble the drive and clean the inside if it shatters, and its a real mess let me tell you)

Ok so I've got a C++ function that when called, needs to return a random number between A and B. I've written the function, but for some reason, it's not behaving like I'm expecting it to. Here's the functionint randomNumber(int A, int B)

Can someone tell me please what partition should I use for arch root? sda1 or sda2?
>>53544180
I'm guessing it would be sda2, because the other is used as swap memory right?
>>53544209
Yeah, I think it's the swap, I choosed automatic partition.

That's plenty for another drive to install linux on
If you want a separate machine to install it on you could just get an raspberry pi or derivative
>>53544617
I was looking for this as a way to have a secondary device that could be used for work once I get used to everything. I don't really see the point in doing this on my desktop with another drive or else I'd have already done that.
As for a raspberry pi, as stated earlier this is going to be for work and other situations that would require a level of portability. Although the devices themselves are extremely portable, the equipment required to use them isn't the kind of thing I could produce transporting from A to B.
I'm sorry that these intentions weren't clear in my original post.
Considering the new information on intended use, do you have any information that could help?
my professor said that the school computers don't allow for virtualization.

Arch, Gentoo or Ubuntu? Is there a simple comparison chart or something. I don't know how much these distros differ from each other
>>53545123
if you have no experience, stay away from Arch or Gentoo! Those are for advanced users. Ubuntu will be fine to try it out. Don't forget that you can run a live system from a cd or usb, that way you can even find out if you like the look of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu or Lubuntu better.

What is the proper way to store a CPU?
Im still waiting for my motherboard to arrive and i just have lying it around inside the box over my desk.
>>53545623
Inside the little plastic cover it came with the box. You can store it for ages.
OK so I don't know if this is worth returning/exchanging. I got it a week ago and It has a light bleed or glow. Its only on the right side. I hear its normal on ips panels though and its only noticeable on black or dark images.
>>53545634
Then meanwhile its not hit by the sun or something like that will be fine then?
I haven't taken it out the box yet.
Thanks.
>>53545677
I don't know how bad is it, but I've had two IPS monitors for years and none of them have noticeable bleeding. It's definitely not normal.
>>53545677

I don't know about sun or anything, but all you have to care is not to bend any pins, and not to fuck up the cap somehow.

What is a good way to start learning programming? I don't want to just use example code I want to learn to logic behind things
What is a good language to start with?
Besides a monitor, keyboard, mouse and either headphones or speakers, what other peripherals do you find essential?
I've been thinking of dropping an extra 50-100 on a printer just in case, but there's always the library and thumb drives.

A good mousepad obviously.

Are they're really necessary/do they make that big of a difference? What if I have a laser mouse instead of optical?

For a beginner, a scripting language would be easy enough, and let you learn the flow of programming without overloading you in syntax. My favorite scripting language is Lua, it's very quick/easy to learn, although a bit slow at runtime. Python is another good one.

Is there absolutely any way the EXIF data can be obtained from a phone post around a year ago?
I think I fucked up. I just got a couple new 4TB drives to replace the 1.5TB nightmare that was failing SMART tests for me, and decided now was as good a time as any to properly set up RAID with the controller built in to my mobo. The drives I'm using are the 2 4TB WD Reds, and 2 2TB Reds that I had in the machine previously. I got RST to see everything and let me build the RAID between the 2 4TB drives, but I think I overestimated what it was going to do automatically for me. I had already moved all my data from the drives onto one of the 4TBs since I knew it'd let me just mirror that one onto the other 4TB, but I guess I just assumed it'd also let me convert from a RAID 1 array on those 2 into RAID 10 with the 2TB drives? It doesn't seem to be an option and I don't really get why. Am I just retarded?

Is there any good software for making songs for someone who has little to no musical talent?
/g/ I thought ATX was ATX, to my shock now I just realized my Z170XP-SLI is an inch narrower and doesn't perfect mount with my older case screws heads.
I frankly don't see though why this is a physical problem though, the Motherboard is still firmly in place and not touching anything.
Is it alright to still use this older case or will it cause problems?
>>53546073
Seems overpriced for what it is.
Pretty much everything is $10 more expensive than what it should be and the computer even more.

If you mean instrumental creation, FL Studio is probably the easiest and most popular to use, especially by shit rappers, then there's Ableton, and Reason. I've used all 3, my personal favorite is Reason, but you can make anything with any software if you're good really.

How long does it take to learn R vs Python? Which is easier to pick up, learn, and use for work related stuff?
>>53546192
Everything comparable on Newegg and Amazon has been anywhere from 150-300 bucks more, and if I added up the costs of buying the components individually, it's still more expensive than buying it prebuilt there.
Where else could I get a box for cheaper than that with an i7, a 1TB drive, a decent GPU and decent memory? I just want a Skyrim on max settings machine and I don't have the spoons to assemble a box anymore.
I'm planning on upgrading from my FX6300 to a Skylake processor. If I'm just mostly gaming should I go for the 6600k or 6700k and what would be a good motherboard for either cpu?
>>53546030
also if this is the wrong place to ask this, if someone could point me to the best place with a solution that'd be awesome. There's nothing mission critical on these drives, but it'd suck a fucking lot to lose the data.
>>53546244
It's hard to answer this kind of question, since these languages serve different purposes. Both are easy to learn if you know how to program or know another language, but python will be more valuable since you can do a lot more with it. R is pretty much just for statistics.
So I want to create a typing tool where it measures what keys are easiest to reach for you.
Could I create this with Java? How would I get started?
I know only the very core basics of Java but am willing to learn. Just need a push into the right direction.
>>53546381
you can probably do this with java if you wanted, but your description of your idea is very unclear. what do you mean by "measures what keys are easiest to reach"
>>53546403
Well the idea is that people have more accuracy when having to press A on your keyboard. Moreso than Shift + L or something. I just want to create a program that measures every respective key and gives it a percentage score of "ease of reach".
>>53546253
You dont need a I7 for gaming, you are better getting a I5, the difference is 2-5% more performance for $100 more when it comes to games.
Decent memory is 8GB.
Actually, amazon and newegg, its just about learning what buy.

No help, huh?
Can I use a leaf blower from a far-away distance to clean out computers? Would leaving the PSU plugged in but switched off (ground wire should still be connected, correct?) help with disipating any static discharge that might occur? I don't want to fry any components in my machine, but I'm a poor third-world full-time student, as such canned air is expensive and a compressor is too much of a sunk cost for me to even make. My uncle's got a leaf blower though.
>>53546682
You shouldn't... Could have great static energy.
OK, I got a "Nokia 2280" cellphone that is broken. My uncle, the previous owner, had anger of not being able to see well information on it's screen (he doesn't uses proper glasses) and threw it many times in many directions. As a result, the SIM card reader is missing, and the battery connector is loose, among other problems.
Should I pay to fix this cellphone?

Should I, /g/?
800 is about the most I can afford right now, but if there are better options not so far from that price I'd jump the gun.
>what do you want the notebook for?
It doesn't HAVE to be able to run Inventor, but it'd be amazing if it did.
Aside from that, Matlab or light gaming would be the most I'd expect.
