Why exactly are you worried? Even with having them on with your PC they can last you a decade easy. I just replaced an HDD that I've been using for about 8 years. Not because of any defects but because it was the OS drive and I replaced it with an SSD.
Anyway, as long as you keep at least 15-20% free space you'll be fine. Every model/manufacturer has their own benchmark on assessing durability promised by the manufacturer, which are almost always underwritten. For example some models of Intel's SSDs are promised to run for 5 years having 20GB of data written to them every day i.e. manufacturer/model specific and they have different jargon too e.g. for the Samsung EVO 850 it promises approx. 2million MTBF but the warranty covers 150TBW (although it goes up to 600-700, and 2PT+ for the pro.)
Needless to say an HDD will last you a long long time. Be sure to check the SMART values occasionally with something like crystaldiskinfo every month or so and go through it with mhdd if you find anything worth inspecting.

Has anyone gotten a cracked Spotify apk to work with Android auto?
I've tried cracked versions of 4.8.x, 4.9.x, and 5.x but none of them appear in my Android auto menu. But if I install the legit version of 4.8.x, it just werks.
Possible reasons I can think of are maybe the crack fucks with some app signature that needs to be verified to run on Android auto. Or maybe it's because all of the cracked apks I used used beta Spotify builds which might have Android auto disabled? I plan on trying out a non cracked beta build tomorrow.
Also, is there an official forum for cracking the Spotify app? It uses to be discussed on XDA but suddenly it's illegal. I'm pretty sure all the cracks just change the DPI setting to manually force tablet mode but I can't find a forum that actually discusses it

is it normal for a 4770k oc'd to 4.5ghz with a 212 evo to jump in temperature instantly when under load.
it goes from 35°c-ish idle, to 80°c a second after starting a video encode, then drops back to idle temps almost instantly after it finishes.
I've always known cpu's to gradually heat up under load, not bounce around like there's no cooler attached. and yes, i have reseated the cpu and cooler, reapplied thermal paste and dropped my oc to 4.0ghz with no change.
>>53636718

Core temps will change very quickly, but there is also a separate sensor in the center of the die IIRC which will change slower.
>>53636718
nah that's normal, recent Intel processors have quite a high heat density so temperatures tend to jump up very quickly.

I'm on a modified dell t1650 (500W EA-500 Bronze, GTX 960, 8 GB DDR3 RAM, 1 TB HDD + 2 SSDs).
After shutting down my computer, I tried to turn on my computer only to find the amber LED blinking in the power button. It is a series of two beeps, a pause, and another two beeps. According to the owner's manual, this means "system board failure, PSU or PSU cabling failure". I did the paperclip test on my PSU, and it's working just fine. Do I need to buy a new motherboard? The ethernet cable LED is working, I'm not sure if that's an indicator or not.
I've been looking at alternative file explorers for windows such as explorer++. Is windows file explorer fine or should i use an alternative?
So, I had a Windows 7 install on my hd1 and a Windows 10 install on my hd2. I wanted to install Linux over the 7 install, so I just went to gparted and deleted all data on hd1 and created the partitions.
Now the following message on the screen:
"Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"
I think I probably messed up the W10 bootloader. I tried to repair with the Windows repair DVD and it didn't work. I feel like an idiot. Can someone help me please?
Has anyone had an ssd die on them before?
Have you ever been able to recover data from it?
Do you still have it laying around somewhere?
If it's been sitting around for a month or more, can you check to see if it works now?
I've read online that they're "touchy" sometimes and can start working again if you leave it alone for a while.
I've also discovered, through this experience and from reading online, that SSDs die without any warning whatsoever. BAM. GONE.
I cleared a USB for a friend to use, which had important documents I was working on with years of data, put all that data on my desktop, and now they're trapped in a dead SSD I was using for my boot disk.
pls help
also, if I formatted, say, a 5gb partition on my ssd, when the main partition dies, would I be able to use the 5gb partition? Or does everything no-longer work?

>>53637564
Yes...
No.
No.
You can try, but it probably won't.
This is why you back EVERYTHING important up in more than one place.
When a drive goes, all partions on the drive are also lost. Again, back everything up more than once. Flash drives are basically SSDs, so use a regular hard drive for backups as those can actually be recovered from sometimes.

I'm following instructions on how to set up your PC for mining cryptocurrencies. Couldn't hurt to try, right? I was told to let the blockchain load in until it was completely finished, so I've been letting the blocklist keep updating for over a day now.

Network switches direct traffic by an address that is physically imprinted on your network card. IP addresses change and can be spoofed while MAC addresses are much more secure.

to install themes just place the folder in the hidden themes folder in your home directory
~/.themes

then go to the themes menu and choose it from there
>>53638211
You can set a static IP of your choosing. This is often done in enterprise environments like for servers whose name has to stay the same.
You can theoretically spoof a Mac address as well but a Mac address is never communicated over the Internet, only over local area networks. An IP address asks which computer to go to and can be lied to, whereas a MAC address asks which port on a switch to go to and cannot be lied to nearly as easily.
>>53638247
Rub it with cheetah blood
Or wait for more seeders and fewer leechers
>>53638190
The fact that you can download a spoofing app means exactly nothing. Your computer can ASK to be treated as though it had another MAC address but the MAC address is physically imprinted on the NIC.

Spoofing your MAC is objectively easier than spoofing your IP, and having it work. The IP delegation is controlled by the DHCP server, and if you just hop onto a network and tell it "Hey, look, 10.0.0.158 isn't actually him, it's me", the server will likely tell you to fuck off, if the router hasn't already because you disagree with its ARP table.
>>53638309
That's irrelevant. I don't send my physical NIC over layer 2, I send it... Whatever the fuck I want to send it, which just so happens to be a spoofed MAC address.
>>53638316
On a big enough network with static IPs, IP conflicts are a fact of life and the usual solution is to reassign the IP of whichever server you're communicating with. MAC address conflicts do not happen because your switch KNOWS your real MAC address regardless of what you tell it.
>>53638251
Like >>53638316 said,how is ip spoofing supposed to work when ip designation is controlled by DHCP?
>>53638347
How hard is altering the mac of nic,like we have to alter firmware right?
Is it the same level as esn/imei changing?
>>53638347
>your switch KNOWS your real MAC address regardless of what you tell it
I'm gonna stop here.
>>53638347
No, if someone is spoofing their MAC address it is very difficult to detect it
>>53638363
Spoofing it Windows/Linux/Mac is very simple and doesn't even require any special software
>>53638350
DHCP is the DYNAMIC host control protocol. It does not supply static IP addresses. Spoofing really works best with static IP addresses although I suppose it isn't impossible with a dynamic one.
>>53638363
I'm not sure it's even possible actually, although I know it would require physically manipulating the NIC. And yes, imei is similar if memory serves.
>>53638364
I invite you to try and spoof your MAC address to have two identical MAC addresses on your switch and report your results back.
Spoiler: it's going to do nothing.
>>53637957
Even so, is there something wrong with the blockchain, or should I just be patient? This is essentially practice for me at this point, I could care less about the currency I'm trying this out on at the moment.
>>53637905
They don't answer. They really don't. It's usually just a circlejerk about whatever coin they're using no matter what you're asking. This is just a quick stupid tech-related question anyway.
>>53638392
I didn't say spoofing, i know how that works.
I said altering,meaning the mac is actually changed inside the NIC,independent of the operating system.
Like how the NIC manufacturers do once at production.
>>53638397
I've spoofed a duplicate MAC address on my LAN before, both devices lose connection.
>>53638392
Spoofing on the software level is simply asking the switch to treat you like a different MAC address. It makes no changes to the actual NIC.
Am I being trolled? I'm being trolled aren't I?
Long story short my mobo died but I witnessed something I have never seen. The firmware reverted to factory. How does that happen?
>>53638393
So what would happen if we set a static ip on ,say a pc,and connect it to a router which is set to dhcp?
Is it a super big deal if one of my earphones is missing its grill? I just noticed it's missing and was wondering.
>>53638405
Depends on the specific device, but it would generally require hardware modification.
If I use an android emulator to make a separate account on this game I play just to do local co-op (the devs recently got rid of online multiplayer for whatever reason), is that liable to get my "account" in trouble?
How far can I push it?
>>53638428
The speaker would be more prone to damage
>>53638407
Show me the setting for allowing or disallowing spoofed MAC addresses
>>53638412
You should be specific.
The firmware reverted to factory?
What reverted?
Did it revert to default settings?
Or did the firmware version reverted to ,say 1.0 from 2.0?
This is a feature on some mobo nowadays, i think by the name of dual bios .
>>53638441
If you are playing local co-op then how is your account required? It's not using Internet right?
>>53638407
>Spoofing on the software level is simply asking the switch to treat you like a different MAC address
No it doesn't, your local machine sends a layer 2 address of your choosing. The switch doesn't walk over and physically check your NIC, it has no way to. You can send whatever MAC you like and it has no way of knowing your actual MAC address. Holy fucking shit.
Sharp Aquos Crystal running 4.4.2, how do I get individual text sounds per contact?
>>53638446
Of course, but if the speaker is recessed in and I make sure to do basic hygiene, I should be good.
>>53638501
It's "local" in the same way Pokemon is local multiplayer. It isn't a "pass-around-your-phone" kinda multiplayer.
The idea is that two people would be like "hey, we both play [blank], let's do some local co-op" but literally nobody is going to do that where I live
>>53638557
Pokemon?what the hell is that?
Please explain in simple terms.
Posted about this in a few other threads and no dice, Recently bought a 380, it it's been fine for about two weeks. The last several days I've gotten display errors and had drivers crash, I chalked it up to me using vsr and just pushing older games to far, yesterday while not playing a game my display crashed, the drivers don't recover and I have to restart my PC to get an image, I've restarted my PC several times and no dice. I swapped cards out. Still no display. Any idea what's happening or has happened? All of my components are less than a year old and my PSU is a 550 watt nzxt
>>53638567
I have seen your question so many times my head is about to explode
>>53638567
Does it work in safe mode or with integrated graphics?
>>53638582
Sorry man I'm just stumped
>>53638584
It doesn't even display the BIOS, it won't post visually, but I know it's booting into Windows because I've heard notification sounds from Windows

When I record the screen, the cursor doesn't jump in the webm, but It was jumping around when I recorded it,
???
So I just installed an OpenSUSE environment on my Parallels Desktop VM. It works fine and all, but it's at an extremely weird resolution. It looks fine when it's not in full screen, but the problem is, at its default, the virtual machine is at a 300px by 400 px resolution. Is there any way I could change the display? I tried going to the system's settings and asking online, but found nothing of use... Thanks for helping a pleb out
>>53638613
Is the display ok,check by turning monitor on while keeping display cable unplugged, it should say .....no signal....on screen
>>53638567
Try a different PCI-E slot?
>>53638641
Mini itx so not an option when I reseated the card and swapped out I checked the slot and connections on both cards and they seem fine.
>>53638640
Yes no signal appears when unplugged and while plugged in
>>53638661
Ok so the display is ok.
A few years ago a similar thing happened to me.Windows was booting but no display.
It was fixed by removing the ram from ram slots on mobo,cleaning it with a cloth and reseating it .
>>53638625
It's from MS, so yes.
>>53638699
I'll give that a try, I'm not 100% but it's weird that I would get display driver errors and gave RAM be the issue right?
>>53634348
Ok i will help you after confirming a few things.
Please confirm these,
You have Acer aspire e5-571 (http://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/NX.MPSAA.002)
You want to do a fresh install of Windows 10.
You understand english.
Which country did you buy it?
Do you have a valid Windows 10 license?
>>53638714
It will not be weird if it worked for you.
What mobo and processor do you have?
Are you trying these fixes right now?
Aside from CommonSense 2016 Ultimate Sperg Edition, what's a good antivirus app for Android?
>>53638742
I've got an AMD x4 860k and the mobo is an msi a68hi AC. I am trying them, I also just took my ssd and still no signal I'm pretty positive it went into the BIOS on it's own though because the CPU fan ramped up like usual.
>>53638141
Yeah so i checked your mobo and like >>53638091 said,keep the same brand ram in same color slot.
So keep 2x4gb in blue slots and 2x2gb in black slots on your mobo.
Pic related is from the user manual of your mobo.
Keep that in mind.
I would recommend 1600 or 1333 mhz ram, not higher.
>>53635128
Just plug it in, USB 3 is backwards compatible with USB 2. If you want to utilize the extra speed get a PCEI card with USB 3 ports.
>>53634330
I'm pretty new to git.
If I'm working with a partner temporarily on a fork of a project, and we are going to be working on the same file, what is the best practice to merge everything together and then make the pull request upstream?
I was thinking
>we create branch-1-PersonA, branch-1-PersonB in our respective forks (Fork A and Fork B) of Upstream master
>we add each other's forks as remotes
>both Fork A and B are sync'd to master, so both partners have the same original file in the same subfolder
>we work on the file at our own pace, even in the same areas
>we are both finally ready to compare and merge
>we make a final commit to our respective forks, then one of us (A) attempts to merge the branch-1-PersonB from Fork B with branch-1-PersonA from Fork A.
>merge conflict, open GUI (Meld) and resolve it
>we're communicating somehow (by texting or whatever) to decide which parts we leave in from whom, which are replaced, etc
>merge conflict resolved, push to Fork A, place pull request Upstream
But I imagine this is very unnecessarily convoluted, and I'm looking for someone who's not as dense as me to tell me the best way to do it in my scenario.
Is earning 100~120k per year considered nice in USA?
Doesnt goverment tax you like 30-40% of it?
>>53638796
I don't want to look up the specifications just yet so can you tell me whether your cpu/mobo has integrated graphics?
If yes then do this,
Remove all storage devices like hdd,ssd.Remove the gpu from pcie slot.connect the monitor signal cable to the video port on mobo.
If you can,remove all other pcie devices that you have,all other sata devices like cd drives.
Now completely unplug the system power,plug it back and then power on.
Check if bios is displayed
>>53636718
Dropping the oc to 4.0ghz wont change anything if you leave the voltage at the same crazy setting you used at 4.5ghz.
>>53637317
Did you clear the CMOS?
>>53638866
No it doesn't, I should have mentioned that.
>>53638886
Are you telling me that you can't use the combination of mobo and cpu you have without a graphic card?
I want to start using Linux but have no idea where to start. I am really tired of windows with all its extra shit and stuff.
I have been looking at linux mint but really don't have a clue.
Thanks.

Just update it using the Nexus root toolkit. Download the latest system image and flash it with the no wipe option.
>>53638903
It helps if you have a completely blank hdd/ssd.
That way you can do whatever and no data will be lost of use.
>>53638036
Yes, just make sure the new ram uses the same frequency AND timings.
>>53638897
My CPU has no integrated graphics correct, I was basically forced into buying this mobo.
>>53638903
you could use vbox with xp or wine
what is your question
>>53638858

>>53638903
First of all, a good option for dipping your toes into any distro of Linux is using what is called a Virtual Machine on Windows.
Here's what you do
>Google "VirtualBox"
>Install VirtualBox
>Look up beginner distros that catch your eye (Some recommendations I could give you are Ubuntu GNOME and Linux Mint)
>Download their ISO's from their webpages (just enter their names on google and you will find their webpages with no problem)
>With VirtualBox, make a new VirtualMachine and follow the steps to install one of the ISO's in it
>Anything you do in the VM is contained to the VM, so don't worry, your computer will be safe
>Install Linux there and fuck around with it to see what it's like
>Keep in mind the performance is likely to be choppy because it's a VM, and it depends on how much power you're giving it through VirtualBox's settings.
If you try it like this and find you like it, go on ahead and backup your personal data to some external hard drive, make a USB boot drive of the ISO of your choice that you downloaded earlier, and boot into it to install that distribution of Linux and erase your current hard drive (whose personal data I'm hoping you backed up)
All of this is just a general idea of what steps you gotta follow. Go over here >>53638918 to ask more questions when they come up, and have fun!
>>53638858
Depends on where you live, most places this would provide good comfort
Not really, depends on a lot of things
C++ student here. My compiler crashes every time I ask for input in a void function.void safeArrays::setVal(){
for(int x = startPos;x<=endPos;x++){
cout<<"Enter value for position["<<x<<"] :";
cin>>ary[x];
}
cout<<endl;cout<<endl;
}
...where startPos=2 and endPos=13; however those values aren't the problem. Does this have something to do with incorrect buffered stream usage? Or am I just a fucking retarded, useless sack of shit?

I think it is not detecting what version(DDR4) of ram you have.Might be fixed in later versions of speecy.You can try CPU-Z and check if it detects correctly.

I made a pretty simple C# program to create quotations for an autoparts shop (not sure if the wording is right, english is not my native language). It does have its database and stuff, it's all fine, but I need to be able to print (to paper). What's a good way to do this? I've been looking online for a while but can't find anything decent and clean. Would be cool to create a table with rows and column and place product names and prices there, well formatted.

Also, how do i flash it? There are separate downloads for the ROM and the kernel. Do i flash one and then the other or could the kernel be included in the ROM in some way?
And last. If i flash any other ROM later on (very likely), will i need to flash another kernel or should it be good to go?

Yes, OBS should do the job. Make sure to tell it to record a local video - it's meant to stream over livestream services like Twitch, but you can use it for your purpose just fine.
