What setting do I need to see the "https://" and sadly still "http://" again in Firefox? I use more protocols now, so I wish to see that again.
>>53829770
i use firefox and i see https:// when the website supports it.
>>53829770
The addon "HTTPS everywhere". Pretty sure there's an option in about:config but I'm too lazy to google it.
>>53829770
Go to about:config
Search for "browser.urlbar.trimURLs"
Set it to false
But like >>53829802 said, I think it already shows https. So maybe I don't understand your issue.
>>53829849
Thank you so much, that was it.
I now also see the https:// by default, kek.

What's up with my iPhone 6s camera? I can see lines running through the preview and the photo when using the back camera, especially when it's dark. When I use flash or it's light, then it's perfect. There is no problem with the front camera.
I dropped it in water few months ago, recently got it fixed and it's fine except that.

So I have this Lenovo Ideapad U510 and decided it'd be perfect for Ubuntu. The problem is that it utilizes UEFI which I am not too familiar with and snooping in search engines yields nothing about my particular problem.
So it had win8.1, I made a bootable Ubuntu live USB and did a clean install (wiping my windows cause I had nothing I wanted to hold on to and dont game a lot). Ubuntu installed no problem, my issue is different. Win8 took like 15 secs max to boot since it utilizes the SSD for boot files. Ubuntu takes 35 secs to boot, does it also utilize the SSD the same way? Should I have done something different since its UEFI?
>>53830183
you can get like 30% more performance by spending less than 10% more up front.
that means you dont have to upgrade again as soon. you're wasting money in the long run by getting a locked cpu.
and have you compared benchmarks on the CPUs to make sure you actually get more performance per dollar by getting the older one?
>>53830193
why are you still talking about it working? i never even commented on that part.

>>53830580
I don't know what the general cost is so it's hard to say. I'm not broke and make pretty good money.
I probably wouldn't want to spend over $600. Unless there would be a dope reason for me to splurge that makes it seem worth it.
But again I don't know the general cost so I'm not sure what I'm getting myself into. Thank you!

does anyone use irfanview thumbnails?
it actually seems like itd be really useful but i don't see an option to open multiple windows for it like file explorer
im sorry but does anyone know what the fuck the purpose of irfanview thumbnails is?
i thought it was an image specific file explorer but there's no way that could have been their intent if there's no option for multiple windows5607
>>53830846
What kinda i/o would you need for that?
You can get LVDS to HDMI/VGA/DVI etc if that's what you're looking for?

You'd probably be better off just getting an old TV from somewhere.
>>53830816
I need everything. I know very little about building pcs. I have a good gaming mouse but that's it.
>>53830968
It would be easier and even cheaper just to get a TV, I was hoping for a hands on experience and make something useful out of something old.

>>53831004
You might want to increase a bit because a decent gaming build is around $850-$1100.
You need a I5 or I5-K.
8-16GB RAM.
A really good Videocard, this will tell you how good your perfomance will be and around 50% of the budget.
A good HSF if you get a K CPU.
A SSD.
650-750W PSU.
Z97 motherboard for 1150 socket or Z170 for 1151.

err... you're right. He can cheap out on things like case or hard disk though if he doesn't give a fuck about noise or doesn't place it literally right next to him. Maybe an AMD cpu would be fine as well for half the price of an i5. Still, in total it would be about a ~$150 save.

I hear hissing from my speakers when I move my mouse. They are cheap amazon basic ones that are powered through USB. When I power them through my wall outlet, the noise is removed. I've tried all USB ports but nothing fixes it..
What could be causing it? I just built this computer and this is the only problem I've ran into
>>53831283
Get a GA-Z170XP-SLI.
Get a EVGA 650 G1 or GS and save $20 on the PSU.
Alternatively you might want to get a 850 EVO 240GB and a 1TB WD Blue.
SSDs are worth it.
>>53831370
>SLI 750M
Looks good enough for $500, but not sure if it is worth $500 Used.
Anyway looks good enough, you might want to repaste since QM CPUs get really hot.

I'll take your advice on the mobo though
Why does the RJ-22 jack need a different crimper from the RJ-11/12 jacks? I've compared the two and they look identical other than the amount of contacts. It looks like the same crimper should be able to do both.

Wait until a relative or some such goes to the US and order it from them. You'll save a fuckload of money. Maybe shipping is cheaper (maybe not from amazon). Check your local pc building forums.
I have a Blue Yeti Mic I use for recording and while the quality is pretty great, for some reason it just randomly cuts out while recording.

I was thinking of a 750 watt PSU but people told me its an overkill, although I may want more fans in the future or something.
Can you dual boot android x86 on a windows tablet?
>>53831781
Shit motherboard.
You can get cheaper RAM.
Make a list with PC Partpicker.
750W is indeed overkill, your build needs a 650W PSU.
Why does Speccy make an HTTP connection to the internet when I open it?
>>53831793
Why is the motherboard shit mate.
Can you explain your reasoning, I'm not very experienced in these stuff.
Also what RAM would you suggest.
>>53831803
Speccy checks for updates every time you open it.
>>53831844
The motherboard is just bad in general.
Look for GA-Z97X-UD3H, ASUS Z97-A, MSI GAMING 5 if you are looking for Z97 motherboards.
Get a I5-4590, and since you are looking for a Z97 motherboard get a unlocked I5 like the 4690K.
PCpartpicker its not shit, helps finding cheap prices, try it on, make a list with your build.
>>53831781
Fans don't consume much. Keep in mind future intel processors and AMD gpus will be stronger and more power efficient. They'll most likely consume less than current gen esp the gpu. 650W should be plenty.
Also why are you going with old hardware? Newer ones cost pretty much the same.
Get an Asus Z170A, an i5-6500, a $60 128gb ssd for games/os, a cheap 5200-5400 rpm 1tb hdd for pictures/videos (go 7200 if you won't get an ssd), the cheapest case you can find with 4 frontal usb ports, cheap ram (8gb=$35), a $50-60 650w tougherpower or EVGA or xfx etc and you're set. Don't update the bios and you can overclock the cpu just fine if it need be. You can bump it up if you have more case i.e. 850 evo, case, ram.
>>53831844
Also take in consideration 1151 socket.
![Nano-Edito[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/RzRij4p.png "Nano-Edito[1].png")
how do i get better syntax highlighting on nano?
>>53831973
A 1151 socket is a better investment because next gen intel will most likely use the same socket so you can upgrade the cpu to an i7 later on and get a nice boost when things become much more reliant on multithreading.
>>53831647
why is it an issue for you to use ctrl + click to select all the files you want to put in a specific directory and click maybe a maximum of three times on the directory tree to find the directory you want and move/cut/paste? maybe you have different standards but that seems pretty simple and easy to me
>>53830568
try a different display and/or cable
>>53831882
I'm not in the US mate, so it seems pretty useless.
About the motherboard an you help me understand why tho? All I see is some extra usb slots with my poor understanding of motherboards.
>>53832012
You either do it it like it's on the nanorc. file and link it to it or download from someone who has one ready. I think there are several ones on the interwebs.
>>53830076
He gave you shit becuase you asked an extremely generalized question about hardware without offering any details.

>>53832095
Just a really simple Z97 motherboard.
Just get a H97 or a MSI Z97 PC Mate instead.
Golden rule while building a PC, dont cheap out in your motherboard and your PSU.

if I'm not mistaken there should be an option to restore the previous Windows version in the (new) control panel. Rumour has it that your previous Windows install might be unstable after that, though.
Apart from that your only choices are to bend over for MS or install gentoo
>>53830797
$800 is the magic line where you move from mediocre to high performance. save up more money and you will have a pc that will last several years longer and save money in the long run.
>>53830568
did you do the 3 things i told you earlier?
>>53830624
read twitter FAQ
>>53831124
you can get similar peformance for roughly $800 if you do some tactical skimping and find some nice deals

no shit, plenty of people have no problem with file explorer and would be valid in giving you the same response to what ever problems you have with it
point is irfanview thumbnail is pointless if it just trades in one inconvenience for another, cant have multi window, cant bookmark folders, iffy file selection options
obviously i could manage with these issues if i have to but same said for file explorer
i just expected it be the same standard as their image viewer

4690k OC'd to 4.5ghz or a 6600 for a <$1k gaming pc
>>53832310
>not bait
yeah sure, whatever
maybe spinning them moved the wires a tiny bit and made the connection better, but you were incredibly lucky you didnt permanently ruin them, and you should prepare to buy new ones because they will most likely break again.
you should know better than to mix water and electronics, you dipshit
>>53832340
>missing the point
you've always got a stock cooler with it before and now they charge you extra AND they fucking cheap out and dont even include a stock cooler.
>>53832440
compare benchmarks

AAAAAAARARRHAHGHGHGHGHG
>>53832470

a 6600k is out of my price range
>>53832287
>haha nope, intel has done that like ONCE in the last 12 years.
Wasn't sure where I was going with the other post. Point is intel might do that, and if they don't then he can just get a cheap i7 that fits his socket a couple of years down the road and maintain a decent pc. Buying like 3-4 year old processors when the differences in price aren't that significant doesn't make much sense to me. Especially if the accompanying motherboards come in cheaper if you compare the price of a high-end z97 mobo to a newer mid-level one like the Asus Z170A with features like an m2 slot at 32gbit/s, can overclock great, ram oc up to he 4000mhz range, better sli/cf support, usb 3.1gen2/usb c, etc.
Is there like a /g/ overclock sticky or general or some shit.
>>53832493
Why exactly do you think a 6600 can't be overclocked?
>>53832443
Well I just figured since they didn't have their own power source that it was fine if they dried before plugging them back in.
I've done the same thing with keyboards that had stuck or double-triggering keys and they've worked fine after being soaked. Just let it dry for 24 hours.
>>53832522
because it's a locked cpu
I have a Compaq Presario CQ60 with a Celeron M 575 (2GHz, 65nm, 31W, Socket P).
Can I upgrade it safely to a Core 2 Duo with a TDP of 35W? Will the extra 4W render it incompatible?
>>53832522
I5-6600 = locked CPU, you cant Overclock it.
I5-6600k = Unlocked CPU, you can.
>>53832260
Asus Vivotab Note 8

>>53832493
just compare both unclocked...
>>53832507
>Point is intel might do that
no, their history says they wont and there are no rumours or signs that they ever will.
you have a point about the price tho, i'll give you that
but mobos for 6600k are getting cheaper and cheaper and so is DDR4.
>>53832519
a guide? google.
>>53832530
water can get stuck and once you plug them in they go poof. and keyboards are quite sturdy and dont have many small components or nooks and crannies where water can get stuck.
also 24 hours is not nearly enough to be sure it's dry.
put them in a bag of uncooked rice for several days to properly dry.
>>53832768

i want a complete build with at least a 970gtx or an r9 390, a decent SSD. it's practically impossible to get a safely overclockable 6600k being for under a grand

apparently the firefox one hasn't worked in years or some shit
not to mention i need something that works not only cross browser but cross os, so im looking for a site
thanks though
completely forgot i had malwarebytes installed
do any of you guys actually do regular scans?
I just scanned for the first time in a year and got nothing, so what's the point unless you think you fucked up something
>>53833375
it's pretty hard to get viruses these days. you have to real stupid to get one
>>53833375
it's mostly for retards that doesnt have common sense. i dont remember last time i scanned, but i dont use MBAM active protection, i have a different AV for that, and just use MBAM when i think i got adware.
Is it even worth it to learn Java? Or should I learn a different language?

nice to hear your take

Just use Daz Loader.

Finally getting off my awful Verizon contract and I'm looking to not pay out the ass for my next phone
I don't use SMS/Calling, at all. I use whatsapp and a few other chatting apps completely. I've been looking at chink shit phones and also I just stumbled across chatsim, and I'm a bit curious if there are any strings attached. If it works as advertised, this is exactly what I need. But I still don't see how it works. Before I was looking into this, I was just going to go with straight talk.
Here's the site

Thoughts on this?

Just get MSToolkit instead so you dont have to deal with that.

I'm looking at RAM; the mobo I'm getting supports clocks up to 2133 but the RAM I'm looking at has a max clock of 2400 and latency of 11. Now I know I can underclock the RAM but will that reduce the latency or am I better off getting a 2133 stick set with a lower latency?
>>53833893
I have other cracks that don't pop up, I'm not much of a techie so I don't know what to expect quite frankly
and I don't have the mb premium, just click to scan so it's not a problem
Building my own pc for the first time
Ordered parts where they were cheapest, which ended up just being either newegg or amazon anyway.
I chose the 7 day shipping on newegg and it arrived like hours later.
Amazon hasn't even processed the order and wont ship til the 6th, should i just cancel it and just order the rest of the parts from newegg?
Can someone explain modulos to me like I'm a fucking idiot? I'm learning java and I can't wrap my brain around them.
>>53834052
You wanted to save some bucks right?
>>53834098
Wasn't that like the rest of whats left when you divide?
E.g. 9 mod 4 is 1 because 9 divided by 4 is not possible, but 8 divided by 4 is 2 with the rest, which is 1
>>53834151
Yes that's what it is, but I can't wrap my brain around it.
>>53834027
>different cracks are programmed differently
no fucking shit sherlock. and you're dumb if you scan cracks because that will most likely mean you cant use it without downloading again.
also you need to turn off your AV in most cases to use it, and it's not a problem if you download it from a legit source (like MDL forums)
>>53833958
your mobo will underclock it automatically.
it may or may not lower the latency, read the specs on the RAM.
RAM speed/latency make zero difference for gaming and generall office shit, just get the cheapest ones you can and the most GB you can.

why are you asking us? only you can decide if it's worth it.

MLC or TLC SSD?
>>53834298
whatever the latest intel and high-end samsung uses
>>53834311
Outside budget, i just want a simple 120GB SSD for a laptop.
Like Crucial BX100 120GB or Sandisk SSD Plus.
>>53834330
MLC is duality (2 bit-cells) when TLC is trinity (3 bit-cells).
Please tell me what you bought, I'm really curious.
This is new. It plays ad audio every now and then. No idea where it came from or how to get rid of it. Help. Please and thanks.
>>53834378
My Main PC has a Samsung 850 Evo 480GB.
But, i need replace my laptop HDD that is FUBAR, so a 120GB SSD will do.
Even when i had a HDD i never went over 80GB.
Im just getting whatever is cheaper and that will last.
>>53834397
Open task manager and check where it is from.
>>53834397
Also Adwcleaner should be able to get rid of it.
>>53834397
what did you install?
virus scan.
>>53834414
most SSDs are pretty decent nowadays. just get whatever is cheaper, but Intel makes great SSDs and Samsung's EVO line is also very good.
>>53834444
>What did you install?
Fishing Planet. A f2p game on steam.
I'm not joking.
>>53834461
Read what you install anon, that is just somewhat advanced adware.
>>53834461
try uninstalling it and scanning with your AV and MBAM and see if it disappears
if it's gone, you can double check to see if it really is that "game" by reinstalling it and if it pops up again you can report the game to Valve.
also check the community hub to see if anyone else has that same thing.
what's a good thermal paste to buy
does it even matter?
>>53834582
not really
>>53834582
they're all almost identical, the best one is just 1-2 degrees cooler than the rest of the top 10 products.
the stuff you get with aftermarket cpu coolers is more than enough.
a ceramic based one is preferred as it's non-conductive and usually lasts longer.
>>53834580
also do what the other anon said and check the file path

Not really.
2-5°C difference but if you are overclocking you might need some.

what about the cardboard floor would that help
also does the band matter or can i go cheap?
What happens with the HDD when I defragment it and then I open a VM with the same OS and defragment it too?

fuck the cardboard
a band is a good idea

I just bought another used 290x for crossfire. How do I enable crossfire on Crimson? Speccy doesn't show the temps or acknowledge that there is another gpu present and says crossfire is disabled. Both of the graphics cards are running though. Plz help

I should probably add that I have the newest drivers 16.3.2 and Device Manager only shows my main 290x.
Is there any pastebin or something with mandatory windows 10 fixex / tweaks? I want to upgrade on my laptop. Also, I'm stuck with home edition there... That means mandatory, forced updates. I'm guessing there's no option to turn that fucking shit off?

>>53835100
If you value your privacy then don't use windows period desu
>>53835100
All versions of Windows are closed source and they have full control of your machine. If Microsoft want your data they have it.
Just install Win 10. Same spying, better UI/gaming performance.
>>53834839
>>>Inception
>>53835100
If you have updates off, no you dont have the spyware.
Just dont update, there is no reason to do it.

This. If you gave even a quarter of a shit about privacy, you wouldn't be using a closed source OS in the first place.
Just install W10 you dumb baby.

There is a thing in Windows called universal backdoor. Microsoft always will own your arse. Upgrade it if you don't mind, for a better performance. Change to Linux if you do.

nope, just make sure you are grounded then. you'll probably skid around on cardboard and make more static if you put that on the carpet.
get a grounding bracelet.

Hi /g/, here is my stupid question -
How can I watch what my computer is doing in regards to internet connection.
Say my PC is part of a botnet and phoning home regularly to some Chinks or something, how can I watch what my computer is connecting to?

also you need the special dongle (cable adapter) for it.

daz loader vs. kmspico, which one is better / safer?
>>53834765
I built mine in my room which has carpet. I did it in my underwear and with a little plastic lid from one of those storage containers under my feet. I just made sure to constantly touch the back of the case before I went and worked on it. You'll be fine.
>>53835683
I prefer Daz Loader when applicable because it's a bit more lightweight and simpler. They're both by the same guy though and KMSpico works for some versions of Windows that Daz doesn't, so I wouldn't worry too much if you have to use it.
>>53835683
daz loader
>>53835525
Just save and get a decent destitute-low end videocard.
Like the R7 240.
Or more for a GTX 750Ti.

wat do? I wanted to update 8.1 home to pro before switching to 10 in a few weeks, but pic related happens
>>53835665
have you tried the same card solo (not crossfire) in both slots to make sure the PCI-E slot is not broken?
>>53835683
depends which version of windows. 7 = daz but doesnt work on 10 so use KMS for that.

see >>53835452

dude learn to read. he is already saving for a much better card but wants something to just use the pc until then, it's fucking retarded to waste that amount of money (like a 240 or 750) just to replace it soon after.

do you have the install media for the pro version?
I just stumbled onto something interesting
I was making a clone of a micro SD to another micro SD. After cloning with dd, for some reason I was wondering "what if the deleted files get copied with the dd" so i ran photorec
And what I found was YES the deleted files did copy over. Is it true that when making clones/disk images that the deleted files that have not been wiped get cloned as well? If so then I could have some fun with this...
>>53834223
all that and you didn't give me an answer
next time just say "i don't know" faggot
>>53835867
No, it's the home version that I wanted to upgrade to pro. When I tried running a 8.1 pro version ISO created by windows Media Creator Tool, there was a message said that I "already have windows 8.1 installed" and that I can "add features" to it, but that option made >>53835780 appear as well.
I guess I'll have to clean install 8.1 pro, hoped to avoid it because I don't want to go trough hassle of setting all of my shit up again

which one are you
>>53835908
first off your floor is a fucking terrible conductor of electricity unless you for some reason have metal floor.
secondly, it needs to be wired into the ground (yes, the ground under/around your building) with metal.
it's same principle lightning rods (or whatever they're called) on top of tall buildings work, they lead the charge down into the ground to dissipate.
>>53835926

I would like to be able to physically control multiple channels of audio from my PC. Instead of just having one master control volume knob
For instance a control dedicated to game/music volume and a control for voice.
What kind of hardware would I need? and any additional set up to assign volume channels to physical controls.
Would a Pentium T2310 (dual core, 1.46GHz) be faster than a Celeron 575 (single core, 2GHz) at playing H.264 video?
They're such old processors that I can't find any sort of benchmarks.
What PSU should i get for an i7-2600 and a GTX 750ti? 650w?
Does any one know how to make facebook post to twitter? I can normally get a page too and I did at one point have facebok going to twitter on my own acc, now I can't get it to do in reverse.

>>53836087
put the card (without cooler) in the oven and bake it for a couple minutes to reflow the solder and make it work again
>>53836113
i dont think it would be too hard since windows already can control those things itself, you'd just need a program to output it through a port to a controller with knobs and link it somehow. something with USB would probably work best since the audio ports are single channel each.
