How do I disable this Windows 10 update shit? I still haven't figured out 8/8.1 because of the shitty interface, but I don't want to update. I tried uninstalling and hiding the update so it wouldn't auto-update it back in, but I started up my computer yesterday and it was there. I'll try it again in case I did it wrong, but it's annoying.
I just got a GTX 950, which has an 8 pin power connector.
My old-ish power source (600W) only has a 6 pin connector. The card came with an adapter cable that has an 8 pin on one side and 2 6 pins on the other. I only connected one and it works, but I'm afraid I'm gonna burn something.
How much of a retard I am for doing that, and how urgently should I get a new psu? I only did it because the 950 is a low end card and shouldn't draw too much power.

Stupid question here.
I downloaded a linux version of a game I have from a humble bundle but I'm having trouble installing it. I'm not sure what I should be doing with the files downloaded.. if I should even be installing it or if I should run it or something.
The game came in zipped and when extracted there is .x86 file and a folder containing assets and other data. What should I do to 'run' or 'install' it?
I've tried using the console and just double clicking on the .x86 file but no dice, I tried google but still no luck.
Help please

Are you for real? Humble Bundle games don't have identifiers, and they're DRM free.
To answer your question, try running the sh file after chmod +x on the installer. If the game isn't a sh file, just upload it so we can help you. You're on /g/ faggot, not /v/, no one is going to report you here.

Try to install the following and try again

It depends on the key. Regular keys (the ones you buy at the store) can be used a few times without any issue. However, OEM keys (linked to the device the came with) can be only used in that particular device.

>>53756285
Don't worry, but it would really help us help you if we knew what you were using.
If it's Xubuntu, did you try install that libglu1-mesa:i386 via the command line?
Steam is not necessarily a bad thing, it might even have installed that lib for you.
For now, just tell me what happens once you install the lib and run
./ParanauticalActivity.x86 (or whatever it was)
through the command line. Try using autocomplete with Tab to get the right file name. The one in the zip file has a space which doesn't help. I can see why this was a clusterfuck to get working. Those idiots have packaged it so amateurishly.
>>53753747
Anyone?
>>53756255
you want an alternative to fraps. That's OBS.
You want to know why you can't use the traditional screenshot feature on games. There's a number of reasons, but mainly it's because the screenshot feature is a part of the GUI composer, and most games run on a different level.
That's as simple as I can put it.
>>53756357

>>53756553
Other than what I already said in this thread, the basic problem you're having is that the game depends on the presence of certain library files which do not seem to be installed on your system.
Once you find out how to get these on your chromebook and what distro you have it shouldn't be impossible. But clearing the first few hurdles may seem hard because most of us are not using chromebooks. I know there will be a few others out there who are using a chromebook though.

I'm a noob to Linux/GNU so have mercy on my question. I'm running Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.3 and I'm trying to install Iridium using their instructions on their site and it's just not working for me, it's not letting me add their PPA. Any help would be great. Thank you.
>>53756735
sorry i'm making this difficult. My knowledge in this area is very limited...
What should I do to run it?

>>53756643
Some setups can optimize if all the cards are the same AND the motherboard & CPU support those optimization features.
These are considered higher end features so not all setups support it but it is becoming more common, especially for high end models as one of their extra feature for up selling.
I know it can make a difference with video editing and stuff, no clue about bitcoins.

Google that lib file "libXcursor" whatever it is, find out how to install it (like you did with the libglu1-mesa:i386 file) and install it and keep doing this until you have all the required stuff
Remember the key thing here is that you're trying to run a i386 game on a 64bit system which is why you need to install the i386 version of the lib
(by doing similar to how you installed the libglu1-mesa by adding :i386 on the end of the file)

I have discovered that my power cable to my power supply(that is, a cable from the wall power to my PC) was not fully plugged in. After having applied a lot more pressure than what should be necessary, it is now fully plugged in.
I realized that there's nothing I can do about it now, but do you think a power cable not being fully plugged into a power supply could have damaged my hardware?
my laptop's hdd is partially dead. it cannot boot to w7 anymore, but on boot it boots to startup repair, which lets me access all the data on it (except for recycle bin, which requires a proper w7 boot)
I plugged a 32gb usb flash drive into the above laptop, then started deleting a large folder on it, to free up space for moving data. however, this deletion is ~30gb of data, and has taken 50 minutes so far.
my question is, would it be quicker to remove the aforementioned flash drive that's in the middle of deleting content, plug it into a different PC and format it instead? the flash drive is 32gb in size. the data being deleted is 29gb. there is no progress bar for how much has been deleted so far. also, if I do remove the flash drive mid-deletion, will I corrupt any data on it?
tl;dr: is formatting a 32gb flash drive faster then using windows to delete 29gb of data on the flash drive? also, would removing a flash drive mid-deletion corrupt any data on it?
only reading and responding to the tl;dr will be just as fine, since the rest of the post only provides context. thank you.

The path would look like:
/Library/WebServer/Documents/node-modules
/Library/WebServer/Documents/project_name

Look at what you typed, you're not autocompleting it correctly
I reinstalled Firefox/Greasemonkey/4chanX, and I'm having trouble getting 4chanX to work right. I used to be able to just type in 4chan.org/g, and it would load up the catalog view. Which setting do I need to enable in 4chanX to make it do that again?
>>53757366
also you need to chmod it again if you deleted the folder
>>53757337
The hell am I doing wrong?... I added the PPA, updated and tried to install the browser. Ugh.
>>53757601
Are you sure that was a setting and not simply that Firefox's first autofill guess for "4chan.org/g" was "boards.4chan.org/g/catalog"?
>>53757601
Maybe it was this? I can simply type in 4chan.org/g/ and it takes me to the Catalog.

I'd like to remote into my laptop running LM 17.3 Cinnamon via my desktop running Win 7 (with RDC) but I can't figure out how to set it up. What should I install on the laptop site to get it working? Do I need to install something on the desktop side instead?

>tfw all my computer parts are arriving tommorow but I forgot to order a storage drive
What do I do, /g/. I don't want to have to wait two more days to build my pc
>>53758038
not tech-savvy but if the storage drive isn't made harder to access when a PC is built then you can build your PC otherwise now. it will just be missing a storage drive, i would think.
>>53758038
>>53758086
Yeah, you could totally build it. It will at the very least boot into the BIOS, and if you want, you could install Linux to a USB drive and run that to make sure everything works.
>>53758035
look at benchmarks for what you plan on using it for, choose which one you like best for the price
I'm having some issues with my comp. When I turn it on, it'll whirr softly and the green button will blink but the monitor will stay blank despite it working. This has happened before and after a while it works but it isn't now. Sometimes when it's really angry at me, it'll make a horrendous horror movie sound http://vocaroo.com/i/s0RPHLd4GlPN

I have a desktop running windows 8.1 and I'll soon be buying a new thinkpad that only comes with windows 10. I own an older thinkpad with the original windows 7 on it. Is it possible to to transfer my copy of windows 7 onto my desktop or my new windows 10 thinkpad? I considered the possibility of creating a recovery image on a usb drive and using that to install win 7. Last time I used the recovery image it explicitly warned me that it was for the original machine only. Will I somehow fuck up my machines by trying to use the recovery image? The end result is to have all 3 of my machines running windows 7 including the older thinkpad. Any other suggestions for getting windows 7 are appreciated.
>inb4 just upgrade to win 10. I frequently use ancient software for work that will not run under windows 10.
I'm on Verizon, and I want to buy a new android and sell my old one. Could I just pop the SIM card out of the old one and put it into the new one?
>>53758165
The only way would be to clone the windows 7 drive and hope it works in the new laptop or install a torrented copy and activate it.
>>53758071
Why not go along with what the tech support people suggest? How do you know for certain it's a hardware issue and not a software one -- that is what they're trying to test by having you try it with the other driver. If it does turn out to be a software issue, you've just wasted your and their time and money, and failed to solve the problem by replacing the component that isn't the problem.
>>53758152
What exactly are you worried about becoming obsolete? CPUs don't get slower, they just aren't as fast as more recent ones (though even that trend has significantly slowed down). What are you planning on using this CPU for? If it's gaming, then either CPU will be fine; the chances of anything bottlenecking on the CPU and not the GPU are pretty much nil. If it's not gaming, then it entirely depends on what you're using it for (compiling massive code bases? video encoding? running a web server?).

>>53758165
Idk, just try it. It's possible the OS won't boot because it's missing some drivers, or that the disk will be partitioned incorrectly, but there's nothing that would brick your machine to the point that you couldn't fix it by reinstalling.

I'm worried that putting the recovery win 7 on one of my other machines will violate some kind of licensing bullshit and my copy of win 7 will somehow not function on the original machine anymore. Is this even possible?

Ahh, you're right, that's totally possible, and in fact likely. Windows update would probably cease to function, which is vital for security patches. Sorry, I haven't used Windows in years, was thinking from a Linux perspective where this sort of thing isn't a problem -- my bad.
my old phone (frst gen moto x) got stolen a looong time a go. it has since been replaced by a samsung gs6, but i just noticed the moto x showed up on my motorola accounts "lost my phone" thing. whoever stole it had it shut off for atleast 3 weeks before i just gave up
i phoned the cops yesterday and gave them the serial number, location, etc. they said they sent someone out there. i got an email today saying that they couldnt recover it. i called the number in the email and he basically said that they asked him if they had the phone and he said no, and that's all they could do so they left..
how the fuck do people get phones back?
>>53758363
No problem. I appreciate your help.
I've got an LCD TV with no headphones in and I want to plug in my pair. The sound will be from my PS3 connected via HDMI
What are some alternatives to get my headphones plugged in? from what I've researched I can use RCA to female 3,5mm which seems to be the cheapest option, but will the sound quality degrade considerably?
Also there's an optical port which requires some converter dongle that goes for like 10 bucks.
Any recommendations or other ideas?
>>53758289
I've been using the same torrented copy of Windows 7 for ~6 years now and have had no issues

>>53758235
Note, if you clone you'll still have to deal with activation since it's probably an OEM copy. Those are tied to the mobo, and moving it to a different model will invalidate your license. You can install Daz Loader on any Win7 to fix activation issues.
>>53758519
Are you sure you're looking at an RCA output, not an input? Go with the RCA to female 3.5mm, and throw in an in-line volume control or it'll be hella loud. If your TV has a half decent DAC in it, you'll get fine sound that way. If your TV has a craptastic DAC, go with optical and connect it to a receiver that has a decent DAC.

I'm trying to set up mpd and ncmpcpp on my Raspberry Pi 2. I have both installed, and I have access to my music files. However, when I try to play anything, no sound comes out.
I have plugged my stereo into the headphone jack and I have forced audio through said jack withraspi-config. I have both Pulse and ALSA installed and entered into my mpd.conf file. I have donesudo modprobefor my sound card as well.
I have tried disabling ALSA and Pulse, but nothing seems to be working. When I have Pulse enabled, ncmpcpp gives me a volume percentage, but with ALSA, it only gives "n/a".
What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something? Should I install more packages?

Addendum:
I am able to play the ALSA .wav files they give by default, so I know that my speakers work with the Pi. It's only when I switch to mpd+ncmpcpp that things go awry.
