Didn't see one so I figured I'd start one. I pirated a copy of Skyrim and I can either run it in full screen that's too big so the bottom bar gets cut off, or too small in windowed mode. When I try to alter skyrimprefs.ini, it won't let me. I'm using windows 10. How do I fix my resolution? Is there a separate program I could use to force the program to fit my monitor? My resolution is 2560x1080.
>>53775666
>My resolution is 2560x1080
I'm guessing this is your problem. That's not a 16:9, 16:10 or 4:3 res. Does it run at 1920x1080 with vertical bars?
Would you dual-monitor 144hz screen as a main screen and then a 60hz monitor as a secondary?
Also, opinions on curved monitors?
When do the new mid range AMD/Nvidia cards come out? My 7870 died yesterday so I want a new card ASAP but if there's good mid-range stuff coming soon I'll wait.
>>53775808
It does. I just hoped I could run my game normally. Figure when I use the startup to determine the best settings for my computer, it'll run and fill the screen, but the bottom edge is cut off. I've been googling since yesterday and none of the fixes have helped, so I might just have to find a program to increase the resolution in windowed mode.
Best GPU for around 150$? I'd prefer one that doesn't overheat too easily.
I've got tree styled tab added, but it's made my new tab button disappear. I can use Ctrl+T, but I like being a lazy shit too and would like it back.+
Birb for your troubles.
I just bought an AMD A10 7850K, what intel cpu is it comparable with ?
>>53775851
I'm guessing the UI is not designed for wider-than-wide resolutions.
>>53775831
Absolutely, why not? Refresh rates don't need to be the same between screens.
Curved always seemed gimmicky to me, and like it creates a sweet spot and is just distorted if you're outside the sweet spot.
>>53775940
There's not a really great comparison since that CPU's deal is many slower cores. It outperforms an i3 4160 on multicore, but the i3 beats it by a similar percentage on single core.
my cpu: xeon e3-1230 v3
my gpu: Radeon HD 7950 PCS+
can run pretty much every gaym on 1080p 60fps high/ultra but The Division doesn't even run on medium settings without huge fps drops
also planning to play dark souls 3 and all the other shit that will come out in future
should I get something like the r9 390 nitro or should I wait for polaris (? whatever that is)
some guys tell me I shouldn't "waste" my money right now for this one gaym and wait a few months for the polaris shit
I've got a £50 Amazon voucher burning a hole in my wallet, what should I get with it? Something interesting preferably.
>>53776051
I was wondering if it would too jarring switching between the two screens, since one will be running at a much higher refresh rate and all that.

Recently built a desktop with only one 1TB hard drive. Installed Windows 7 onto it to play games, but I really haven't been playing too much and I have better things to do. I want to go back to Debian but I don't want Windows and Linux on the same hard drive because I'm a tinfoil hat enthusiast. I'm also too much of a kike to buy another hard drive because I'm a student and I only make $200 a week. Can I just make a recovery point and keep my Win 7 disk/activation number with no worries of having to buy another copy. I really don't know too much about Wangblows and I just wanna go back to Debian 'cause it's comfy.
Worth it?

Do I need to format an ssd to install different operating system or I can just delete existing partition and create a new one? Like, does it affect performance in any way?
Bought a second ssd and I want to put my old one inside my laptop and run different operating system on it.
How does Polaris 11 compare to the current cards in terms of performance class?
>>53776159
Depends how sensitive you are I suppose. I don't really mind some differences myself. When I dock my laptop, I have a large monitor with the laptop screen to the left and an old VGA CRT to the right. They're all a bit different DPI and the CRT has a higher refresh rate than the others. Probably the most jarring bit is differences in color temperature though -- the laptop's IPS panel is slightly on the warm side, the TN monitor is a little on the cool side, and CRT is, well, glowy, bright, less crisp and puts the other two to shame on black and contrast levels.
I don't mind screens being different so long as I don't try to put a window spanning between them.
>>53776185
You doing more single or multi core tasks? It will depend on that. Also whether you care about the iGPU, which is considerably better than you'd get in an i3 but obviously still not really suitable for much in the way of gaming.
But yeah if you're coming from a Core 2, the A10 is going to feel like a formula one racecar.
>>53776469

Anybody know off the top of their head how to add vp8/vp9 to ffmpeg on linux? I installed it last night and hadn't thought about it.
Am I really going to have to remove it, download it again, and compile it with new options?
I'm tired of my glossy, IPS monitor since the reflections and glare are starting to get on my nerves.
Until I can sell this will screen protectors help me out or will it ruin my image quality? If everything gets a tad darker or the image is slightly worse I'll be fine.
>>53775884
You can look at a 960 2GB, my 660 is still keeping me comfortable though I think it will start being even more obsolete soon, and I usually turn down post processing, motion blur and such. It may not be the best but that's off the top of my head.
>>53776676
Since when doesn't ffmpeg come with libvpx support by default?

>>53776688
Are IPS monitors actually that glossy? I was considering getting one since I was thinking of getting a big 27" monitor.
>>53776762
ye>>53776762
ah does the same. when i mean tearing I mean with videos and netflix. mpv etc.
doesn't happen on windows.
>>53776735
You need to specify "-codec libvpx", in case you were trying to type "-codec vp8"
It's the same with MP3, where you need to write "libmp3lame" instead of just "mp3".

Pretty sure there are matte IPS monitors and honestly I wouldn't suggest getting a glossy monitor even for the supposed picture quality. Unless you live in a basement then maybe you could consider it.
>>53776859
Here's one picture for the little one
>>53776851
Did you type "-vcodec libvpx"?
Make sure to place it after the input file.
>>53776626
It sounds like a reasonable upgrade. It looks like you'd be able to play at least some games. I don't know how balanced an A10 7850K and a 750ti would be, but it sounds reasonable.
Given that you're looking to use it mostly for Photoshop, the A10 looks like a reasonable value since it'll be almost all multicore workloads, which is that CPU's strong point. Obviously a stronger CPU would be better still, but it sounds like it's not in your budget. Passmark does suggest you'd get better performance for less money with an FX-6300 though.
BTW, you can get comparisons of just about any pair of CPUs by googling something like "A10 7850K vs E6750".

Look up the exact processor models, the sockets they use, the TDPs and whether the laptops in question have soldered CPUs.
>>53776829
I don't recognize either laptop, but the size of the actual laptop shouldn't matter
I say take both apart and attempt to move the processor. Don't force anything when taking the cpus out or putting it in, there's a good chance of soldered cpus/different pin counts
>>53776731
This is more a function of drivers than DEs. X11 is a bit of a clusterfuck in terms of getting vsync working well. But Nvidia drivers seem to manage it through a bit of hackery, while AMD drivers just throw their hands up and give you tearing regardless of your vsync setting.
Hey I bought this used "surface pro 2" on ebay for a reasonable amount of money but I'm lead to believe it's not a surface pro because the windows logo isn't right above the keyboard(it's next to the charger), the charger isn't the normal charger you see on window's surfaces (it's a normal Samsung charger that most smart phones use) and on the back of the device it has a windows logo and it doesn't say surface.

>>53776773
The IPS technology doesn't make them any glossier than any other monitor, and like everything else they come in glossy and matte varieties. I'm guessing people are seeing more reflections because the blacks are darker, while a shitty TN would drown out some of your reflection with backlight bleed.
If it bugs you, get a matte one. The coating really doesn't hurt image quality unless you get one that's so shit that the coating makes sort of an RGB grain effect. I think people mostly associate matte with poor image quality because matte is most common on business laptops, which often get crap panels because who needs beautiful color reproduction on their spreadsheet? Glossy panels are more common in consumer laptops designed for movies and sold in stores where a shit panel would look really bad next to the other laptops and sell poorly.

The atom CPU is weaker, like 2 times weaker but will give you better battery but way worse IGPU.

Somewhat different TDP is sometimes okay, like the guys who swapped the ULV Core Solo in Vaio UX handhelds for a ULV Core 2 Duo. Those are soldered on so it took some special equipment and skills, but the result worked well.

So I just switched over to Windows 10, and since I prefer the iPod touch (I like having a separate player for my music) I installed iTunes and use it to manage my music. I've noticed though that for some CDs that I rip iTunes can't find the album artwork/won't update the album artwork. This is confusing, since for the same albums I can look them up on the iTunes store and sure enough they are there with said album artwork. I am in the middle of ripping around 300 CDs, and while I could download, store, and update the artwork for those iTunes can't find, I do find it odd.
I also did double check to make sure the album name and band spelling is correct as well to make sure it matches. The thing is that it finds the album names and info just fine.
Is this a known problem or a recent thing?

Overclocking isn't really my thing, and I was messing around with the overclocking settings in the "AMD Settings" program. after clicking "apply" screen went black, buzzing sound through speakers.
I have restarted, removed the card, reinstalled the card, attempted to uninstall and reinstall the drivers, which failed. Safe mode still works, so the card isn't fried. I tried moving Profiles.xml and WSProfiles.xml from C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\ATI\ACE to the desktop to force a new profile to be created, but that hasn't worked either.
Safe mode works just fine, but I cannot access most drivers in safe mode. Any hardware identification drivers, including the ones that the AMD drivers use to install themselves, won't run in safe mode. If I boot normally I might or might not get as far as typing my password before it crashes with black screen and buzzing. I cannot access "AMD Settings" to undo the changes.

Any1 elses firefox having trouble displaying the youtube frontpage correctly since a couple hours now? Like it only loads up as basic html text and shit, everything arranged strictly from top to bottom with no custom style whatsoever and so on
Also, embed youtube videos on other sites aren't working in firefox anymore either for me, but on yt itself they still work oddly enough
Already cleared the cookies so i don't think that's the cause, must be a problem on googles' end i guess
>>53778284
No, but you need to use an IRC client that isn't from 1975. I recommend hexchat.
>>53780539
Works for me. only addons are ublock origin and https everywhere.

My brother in law was trying to reformat his computer but ended up using the "wipe" command in the command prompt. Is there any way to undo this?
Would he have to buy another copy of Windows?
>>53781041
If he bought the computer with the OS already on it, and hasn't changed the motherboard he should be able to use the same OEM product key iirc, but check on that because I'm not certain. Reformat does wipe the drive, was he trying to do a repair and screwed up?

DDR3.

Appears that there is!
>>53781004
Also running Firefox Developer Edition, it works fine for me. Does it work if you restart with addons disabled?
Also, switch to uBlock Origin. It's better and more efficient than any other form of adblock.
>>53781102
I would guess so. I'm not sure how to get past this screen though. Might I download an ISO somewhere?
Why can't I put this file/program in the recycling bin?
>>53781242
Because it's open in another program. Check out Unlocker to see which one. Also click more details in task manager and go to the processes tab to see what's really active.
>>53781224
Microsoft might have a download for you, try contacting customer support. Failing that, torrent the same edition (ie, if he had 64 bit home premium, get 64 bit home premium) and use the key to activate it. Failing that there are a number of ways to get around WAT and still receive *adds for windows 10* I mean updates.

Unlocker is a program that kills processes that hold locks on files, and it's the first link when you google "Unlocker".

> The time frame of the movie is intentionally kept ambiguous so that it resembles a dream. Some of the cars shown are from more recent times. Many appear to be from the '60s to late '80s. Early CRT television sets are shown whenever the characters are watching movies. Conflicting technology include Yara on a device that looks like a shell compact, but she reads from it like an e-book reader and using it as a light source at one point. Also, the girl from the beginning of the film uses a cellphone and drives a modern automobile, with several modern vehicles in view.
My PC has been performing slowly for the past few weeks and i've done so much (deleting shit, updating drivers, dusting) to try to get some performance back but nothing seems to work. The only thing I can think about it's my 5 or 6 years old HDD. Can a slow HDD affect overall performance on your computer? Like gameplay and rendering.

How do I keep my android tablet from locking when I put it in its dock? I know in developer options there is a "stay awake" option that partially works but I want the screen to turn off or at least have a screen saver so I don't burn an image into the screen. Day dream locks the tablet so that wont work.

I don't trust sites telling me about security, if they don't even use HTTPS...
>>53781783
Try HTTPS Everywhere
>>53781626
>Can a slow HDD affect overall performance on your computer
Yes. Every little request to the disk for some trivial little file or a page that was moved to swap takes longer, and likely waits in a queue of other requests as well.
Check the detailed status of the drive's SMART. Defraggler can display this along with other tools. Also check performance with CrystalDiskMark.
>>53781707
It would probably work with severely reduced performance.
My GTX 560 Ti just died and I need something cheap that will play most games at decent settings at 1080p/60fps, with 2 DVI ports. I was looking at the Zotac 950:

Is this my best bet for something around $200 CAD? Or is there something with a better value/performance in Radeon's products? Radeon's model numbering confuses me and the cards with comparible prices seem to be worse in some ways and better in others.
>>53781802
No. This extension does not removes the HTTP results from Google Search...
>>53781626
If it's your boot drive, yes. I had the same problem and upgraded to a new 1 tb sata III hdd. Great decision.
Also, check if your drive is sata II or III. That will strongly affect the performance of your pc.

Oh I thought you wanted to use google on HTTPS or something. Try adding "https" (with the " ") to every search you make.
I configured mIRC to not show "join" messages on my screen, as I think they are all useless.
Have I don e right?
Should I do the same for "quit" messages?
>>53781343
Unlocker seems to fail to find anything sometimes in my experience. Another thing to try is Process Explorer. Find->Handle or DLL, type in "sizer.dll" and see if it finds anything with it open. From there you can either kill the process or close the handle. Closing the handle might cause the process to behave strangely or crash, but if it's something with no legit reason to still have this file open, it's probably just a handle it forgot to close and it's safe to simply close the handle and leave the process running.
>>53781851
Bad idea.
This floods my results with HTTP sites that mention "HTTPS".

"wipe" from linux? that program is designed to erase anything that is used to identify partitions/volumes on the disk
since he wanted to format then what's the problem? wipe is the fastest way to make the disk appear clean
what did you expect would happen? you could wipe the disk and still be able to use windows?
>>53782003
Do that, and if you can afford it, get a ssd. Still, the performance I get from a sata III hdd is pretty awesome and sufficent.
I tried to boot into Arch and got this, what do I do?
>>53781921
Years of experience requirements are a crapshoot. You should know the basics of good design and not have to google how to do something every 5 minutes; I'd suggest using the 10-day trial at a certain video tutorials site to watch some responsive design and CSS videos.
>>53781041
If he wanted to reformat the computer he made a good first step. Next thing to do is put in a Windows DVD.
If he bought the computer with Windows pre-installed, pirate a **clean** DVD of the exact same edition it came with. MD5sum the iso and google the sum to see that it's a clean MSDN or DigitalRiver source. Install that and it should pick up the key embedded in the BIOS and be a fully legit licensed Windows. If it prompts for a key, see the sticker on the bottom/side of the computer.
>>53782037
pass the option "init=/lib/systemd/systemd" to the kernel (press 'e' in grub, and write it at the end of the line beginning with "kernel"
once you're in, install "systemd-sysvcompat" or reinstall "base", since that should have been installed during install (it's part of the base group)

-tried different usb port and power adapter combinations, wouldn't power on
-leave it plugged in, restart pc and head to bios, hear it spin on

-everything is working normally again, crystaldisk says it's 'Good', can transfer the files I wanted, everything intact after copy

That will get so little mining done that if you value your time at $10 an hour and factor in electricity it'd take forever to make up the money just wasted in the time to set up/maintain it.
Hello, I have a noob question that I've posted yesterday and gotten some harsh criticism for not knowing better.
So, my friend that studies computer science recommended me code academy to start and learn a little bit about programming. I learned HTML in their course and tried Python, etc.. and found it very useful, because I actually learned something and know how to make at least website after enrolling in this for 2 days (at least on beginner level).
I come here, ask about it, and of course everybody starts saying to kill myself, strangle myself with ethernet cable, etc.. even though I find it good for me.
Other recommendations were to read SICP or attend edX computer science course to learn more, even though it is more video based and harder.
Now I have no problem with studying, but I do want to know some personal information on how you started so I don't have to kill myself for not knowing better anymore.
I will complete the code academy course anyway, because fuck it, I like it to be honest as a total beginner. However, I would appreciate recommendations.
>>53782239
Most likely not. Also 1 MB is big enough that you should probably use a blob rather than an ungodly long base64 data URL.
>>53782243
Just barely enough power available perhaps, or wonky cable would be my first guesses.
>>53782302
Are you gonna post your question or just bitch?
>>53782302
>However, I would appreciate recommendations.
recommendations on what? You didn't actually ask a question...
I feel like an idiot for asking this but oh well, here goes. I can't seem to get wallpaper changes in Linux Mint to stick, every time I boot up again after turning off I get the stock wallpaper and it's really getting to the point where it's pissing me off, anyone wanna point out my retardation in some way? I can't find any results through search engines because all the results are for Mint 9 and below, because it was apparently pretty hard to change the wallpaper back then.
>>53782254
550W is fine, though if you're overclocking I'd lean on the side of 600W, even then you're best off getting a PSU that's a couple hundred watts better than you need for peak efficiency.
>>53782243
Probably had a mounting error of some kind, I used to get it sometimes with my secondary, it stopped after a while.
Computer engineering vs computer science vs electrical engineering
Please tell me the differences. I'm confused about what to pick.
Why can't I upload videos to >>>/r/?
I need to request video names, and can't!
>>53782328
>Most likely not. Also 1 MB is big enough that you should probably use a blob rather than an ungodly long base64 data URL
So it seems to me like it's an infinite loop just becuase it maxes a core and doesn't immediately return. You think if I leave it alone for a few minutes or whatever it should return?
Also, I'm using chromium which doesn't have that function available to me.
Dumb question because stone age technology at this point, but anyone have any idea what type of phone this is or closest looking model? I'm having the shittiest luck with searches.
>>53782328
>>53782338
Recommendations on courses that are in your eyes better than code academy and I can progress from better, even if they are harder.
I don't want to look like I bitch about it, just wanted to give a backstory before someone types to go and kill myself again for no reason.
Very weird thing
Not something I'm particularly worried about but more curious as to what's going on
My laptop makes a whirring noise when i push on the s key, and only the s key
I can even hear it by just putting pressure on the s key, and not actually clicking it if I put my ear close to the keyboard
I've had the laptop for half a year and only noticed it now, but it's so quiet I wouldn't be surprised if it was always there
Do HEPA filter air purifiers actually reduce a decent amount of dust? I'm not allergic so I'm not trying to sterilize every single dust particle from the room, but my room (and all my tech stuff) gets dusty really quickly. Would an air purifier significantly reduce dust buildup on things in my room?

>>53782364
>Computer engineering vs computer science vs electrical engineering
Electrical engineering: Circuit analysis and design, including both analog and digital, though I'd probably expect an emphasis on digital these days. All hardware, a lot of it not even computer.
Computer engineering: Designing computer hardware and making firmware for it. It's a specialty within EE, but EE alone won't teach you enough computer specific stuff to do this. Mostly hardware at the chips and wires level, with a small touch of software.
Software engineering: Designing software, generally in a corporate environment, with an emphasis on the process of writing formal specs, class design, collaborating with a team on large projects, and writing the actual code. All software, generally at the application level.
Computer science: Analyzing and designing algorithms, then proving mathematically that they will always produce the correct result and perform at a certain level. This sits sort of between software and math.
>>53782364
CS focuses on computers, algorithms, boolean algebra, programming language syntax/structures etc
EE is more focused on circuit theory, physics, hardware/electronics
CE is a combo of both, but generally pretty similar to EE
All of them will deal with programming to some extent, EE least so. It really varies by school though.
>>53782428
If you just want to filter regular dust a HEPA filter is overkill
>>53782365
Does it not accept webms? If not or if you can't figure out how to convert them using ffmpeg, post screenshots.

Am I doing something incredibly wrong here?
>>53782466
>>53782478
So I want end up as a programmer for big companies, which one should I pick to get my college degree in?
>>53782483
Basically it's not a health or allergy issue, I just want to have to dust all my stuff way less often. So if I bought a HEPA filter purifier for $100-ish it would do that? Overkill is good in the sense that I want it to reduce dust as much as possible in the room.
>>53782519
A couple things to consider are that a HEPA filter will reduce the overall CFM but capture virtually all dust
If you do get a HEPA filter make sure to get a model with a reusable filter.
>>53782407
I learned to code in college. I really don't feel you can get enough to be useful beyond the "I can paste together examples from stackexchange and prod at it until it sort of works" level in the time these code academy things give.
I would generally recommend a mix of edX and online tutorials if you want to learn on your own, at your own pace. Depending what you want to do, there's a lot of different areas you can study -- anything from asm and reverse engineering for malware analysis (Art of Assembly, then grab OllyDbg, Ida and some crackmes), to web design (w3schools and such).
If you want a more structured learning environment, there are versions of many online courses where you turn in assignments and get feedback and grades. Or sign up for actual courses.
Or stick with code academy and accept that you'll have to flesh out what it teaches you with your own exploration or any of the above. And drop it if the teachers suck.
>>53782557
So basically HEPA purifiers will work more slowly but more thoroughly? And it seems like pretty much all purifiers with decent reviews are HEPA anyways, even if it is overkill
>>53781707
there is software gimp and then there is hardware gimp
>>53782454
What exactly are you doing? If you're trying to dump things from a canvas based game or whatever, use code pasted into the js console, entered as javascript: URLs or stored in bookmarks. All that bypasses same-origin and effectively executes as if it loaded with the page in Firefox and Chromium.
>>53782511
"HTMLCanvsEelment" -- if you spelled it like that it's not going to be found. Instead try "HTMLCanvasElement.prototype.toBlob", which does exist in my Firefox.
>>53782516
/g/ always argues against CS but if that's really your main goal I'd say CS (or software engineering if that degree is offered) is the way to go.
CE/EE will give you a basic understanding of programming, but you'll ultimately end up writing shitty code for years until you learn the actual concepts/best practices through trial and error/exposure. The type of coding skills you'll gain from CE/EE probably won't transfer that well to working in a big company.
With CS you'll end up graduating with a few good projects to show off in interviews and you'll have experience in the software/tools used by most big companies.
Can someone explain why my file icons look bugged?
>>53782516
That would be software engineering.

I'm guessing you have a bed in there. Beds are dust factories. Wash the bedsheets weekly and vacuum reasonably often. It makes a pretty big difference in dust levels.
