I can't do much else besides copy and paste pre-made CSS, and I'm using a dark version of yesterday's April Fools' theme. My question is how do I get the free-floating quick reply button back (either circle or square would be great)?
Does anybody know which version of 4chanx that has the updater on the downright corner with a big box-tab thing, instead of just the number?
what the best 4TB hard drive?
Why the hell cant I access certain websites from my home internet?`
Example, I cant get to GitHub with my ISP, so I connect to a VPN (PIA) and then I can connect. Cool, so I always have to be on VPN for that.
I test that from every device on my network, only when im connected to VPN does it work. Windows and Android and iOS.
So, now Ive got a raspberry pi with Raspbian and OpenVPN.
If I look up my IP it comes back as PIA and in Switzerland. Perfect, exactly how I configured OpenVPN.
However, I still cant access GitHub.
DNS on RaspberryPi is set to PIA Servers (209.222.18.222, 209.222.18.218) and all other devices use Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).
Im at a bit of a loss trying to work this out. The only thing that seems likely is changing DNS again to Google DNS.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
This is probably a stupid question, but that's what this thread is for, right?
I'm in San Jose CA for GTC. I was too late for registering for the discounted hotels, so I'm living at a hotel near San Jose Airport.
I've never been to San Jose before, is it safe for me to take the tram from the airport to the San Jose conference center (about 30 mins) with a lot of visibly expensive equipment, or will I get robbed? I know there are some cities in CA where taking public transport is generally unsafe.
>>53841492
Misconfigured DNS is my best guess.
>>53841531
Ok, So i have changed it to Google DNS on the Pi. It works with most other websites, but stiill cant connect to Github.
I try $traceroute to Facebook, and it goes fine, no problems.
I try github, and I get 1 hop to my own address then it stops.
It shows github as being 192.30.252.130 (trying that from my vpn pc shows that too)

>>53841672
Legal scams.
niggas i need help. my ex girlfriend has the password to my email (microsoft) and i need to change the password but when i went to change it i had to put in my phone number because gay security shit and now i cant change my password for 30 days apparently. so for 30 days she can still access all my shit. and shes batshit crazy. is there a way around this? i dumped her partially because she wouldn't stay out of my shit constantly looking for anything at all on my computer that she disapproved of.

I've got four slots for dual channel RAM, one of my sticks went out. I have a spare set that run at the same frequency, but are 1.25V instead of 1.5V. I know I can't mix them within the channels, but could I do 1,2 1.5V and 3,4 1.25V without cooking something?
Is Startpage giving awful results for anyone else? It slowly started pushing relevant stuff like Wikipedia pages to the 2nd or 3rd page.

i had a note pad doc un-named full of account info hidden in a 1tb hdd full of un sorted crap and i only know for sure she found it now because she accessed my youtube account and changed the password.
>>53841910
im doing this but having access to my email means she could change passwords to all my other accounts and view them.
>>53841840
It can work but it can also lead to BSODs or if unlucky you'll lose both RAM modules so I wouldn't recommend it. It's always best to use RAM modules with the same specs. Just buy a new one, it's not that expensive.

i still have her nudes if she goes ape shit i guess.
probably why she hasnt done anything yet
>>53842012
well it never mattered because i live by myself and never let anyone on my computer. im pretty sure i left it running when i was at work and she come over and went through it then. because it was always off and i made sure not to type the password infront of her. but a few weeks before we broke up she told me she knew my login (my pass for most things aswell)

Does anyone know what the hell is going on?
I've recently paid about $11/mo for hosting, which gave me maybe 200GB storage and 2000GB bandwith. I really really don't need all that, so do any of you know where i can get less for cheaper? Or is that not very likely?
I'd be happy with maybe half a gig of storage

I'm wanting to build a rig with my 7 year old son.
He saw some ARK survival vids, and wants to try it out. Unfortunately my current rig is a Core-2 Duo with 2GB ram, so there's no way I can get ARK to run. My screen is 1024x768.
This will be a long term project, so I'll be buying the components over 3-4 months.
Any recommendations for a build?
My current budget is around 180€, and I am hoping to save about 100-120€ per month over the next 3 months for this.
Not looking for anything crazy, just something that will run it at 24-30 fps, doesn't even have to be 1080p.

Retina display is just a measure of display quality.
If the PPI of your 4k screen is >~220 and the resolution is set to 4k in display settings of hackintosh then it is retina.
Would a generic air-blowing product harm a computer in any way if used for dusting (like with static electricity or whatever)? There are some products specifically made for computers, like this one (which seems to be universally recommended with good reviews):
http://www.amazon.com/Metro-Vacuum-ED500-500-Watt-Electric/dp/B001J4ZOAW
But that one ends up being about $100 CAD after shipping to Canada and everything.
I was hoping something like this,

which is half the price, could be used without any danger?

>h-how though? aren't laptop hardrives and pc hardrives like, different?
physical size, but the actual standard is the same. You can just plug it into your motherboard and it will work.
>>53843025
laptop HDDs are usually 2.5" whereas deltop drives are usually 3.5"
the connectors are the same though and you can buy a bracket so that the 2.5" fits into a 3.5" slot

Ill see if I cant get this to work, trying to get the service manuals for my car. My friend is in the auto program and has access to a website full of info, but there is probably 500 different links under my make and model.
>>53843042
no, even high end cards seem to struggle with it.
>>53843042
Unfortunately, ARK is an unoptimized piece of shit, so even high end rings struggle to run it well.
It'd be really hard to buy a cheap pc specifically for ARK.
>>53843083
Crappola.
So basically I'm looking at 800$ minimum for a rig that can run ARK?
Thanks for the input.

i didnt used windows to go i just pulled my hdd out and out it on another system. it was windows 10. btw i am not asking for a fix this happened a while ago and i just wonder why. maybe its about how different oses manage drivers?
>>53843224
Cars come from the factory with small manuals, tells you how to use the radio and what periodical maintenance. Kinda like a quick start guide that doesnt go into much detail.
You can buy more informative "Haynes" or "Chilton" manuals at the auto parts store which are much more in depth telling you how to fix stuff. But they can tend to be vague, and sometimes leave a lot of stuff out.
What im trying to download are factory service manuals that break down every single part of the car, every single repair, schematics for the electrical system, correct procedures and stuff.
It breaks down the car to the very last bolt, the mechanics at the Ford dealership dont know every single thing about every single car. They use the service manuals to figure out shit they have never seen before.

wxwidget needs to have its resources shipped with itself because it's not windows native.

>>53843283
I understand how service manuals work, that's why I asked for manuals for smartphones .
Shit is pretty hard to get by.
>>53843296
Depends on how shitty the companies modem is.
I am seriously considering it.
I have Comcast with a gateway (modem + router), and it broadcasts a second SSID which you cant turn off.
If you dont pay attention, it broadcasts an open connection for Xfinity users to come and use whenever.
If you turn the Xfinity "home mobile hotspot" off, it just turns the SSID into hidden. No way to actually stop it from broadcasting.
On principle I might just do it, even though a moden and router of this caliber are going to be expensive.
>>53843052

>>53843345
>Depends on how shitty the companies modem is.
That's what I thought.
Problem is, this is the first and only internet connection I've used since I struck it out on my own 2-3 years ago. The only reasons I'm thinking of buying one, are that using theirs probably makes it easier for the ISP to watch me, and probably has some sort of bandwidth limitation.
>>53843391
Yeah its 7 bucks a month
Its a typical DOCSIS 3 with 8 streams, but it has a strong dual band router in it.
Equivalent strength routers are in the 200$ range, plus buying a higher end docsis 3 modem on top of it is like 150$
I dont want to put out the cash, especially with how finicky comcast is with people bringing their own modems.

Is it a bad idea to get a refurbished phone?
If I have an iPhone 5s on 7.1, and if I update it now to 9.3, will it ask for iCloud password?
>>53843520
With manufacturer or some kind of warranty, no.
>>53843520
With the Verizon insurance, when you make a phone claim they send you a refurb phone.
I went through a period where I would just break phones.
Sometimes you get a brand new looking one, sometimes its got scratches and looks worse and runs crappier than the phone you would send in.
Luckily with Insurion you could send it back for another one if you werent happy.

>>53843689
I thought that only works on clean install,not on upgrade install.
I am mistaken ain't I?
>>53843738
It works on upgrade install, at least it did for me. I did that, copied all the files on my USB drive, booted from it. then, it told me that upgrade is in progress and to remove the usb stick, go back to windows and restart the update.
I did and it let me choose if I want to update to home or pro version. I was on Windows 8 home, picked pro and it just updated to Win 10 pro normally.
Seems like an oversight from MS to me

a friend of mine just sent bitcoin to an address poising as a bitcoin mixer a la MITM.... my question is how did the guys with the fake page get sites to link to it in the first place? did they inject the links themselves, bribe the owner of blog or whatever, or has this group been stetting up popular websites just for a big pay out later...

yes. and for the love of whatever, dont fucking buy one component each month because by the time you're done and can actually use it, there will be something cheaper/better released and you will have wasted a fuckton of money.

This was my old Windows drive. It was never formatted correctly (used MBR so it capped out at 2TB because I'm a retard), and now I'm just trying to make it a storage drive. How do I properly format it to get rid of the recovery partition and then make all 3TB usable?
I have a 980ti and i want to have some sort of external dock for my laptop, which has an expresscard slot. Are there currently any ways to do this? I looked online and saw the alienware graphics booster which didnt say expresscard (i also have usb 3.0 if that would be fast enough) and i have looked at the msi dock, which is apparently only available with their expensive gaming laptop. There are simple, cheap pcie to smart card docks out there, but v 1.0 pcie doesnt have the required bandwith. How should I go about finding a dock? Should I just wait until they start releasing more?

what you do is go into the console and type
rm -r /
this will bring up a menu to control fans and stuff. Also has a cute anime girl icon that can be clicked to say funny things in Japanese and entice you to buy small figurines which you can collect and put in glass cases which can then be displayed in battlestation threads

Is there any way I can take an OEM version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit from an Alienware Laptop and use it on a new custom built PC? I still have/use the laptop and am hoping to run the one copy on both systems.

Thanks, I knew it was something easy that I was too retarded to google.

The other two I don't want to, but I'm suffering the same issue.
>>53844762
it most likely wouldn't let you have 2 copies active , the second installation would probably get trial version
>>53844783
You have to do your Windows updates.
>>53844783
did you check if there are updates waiting to be installed?
>>53844780
Is that supposed to be a deterrent?
>>53844790

D'oh, should have mentioned that I have.
So my Galaxy Tab 2 (GT P-5110) isn't being recognized by my pc when plugged in, neither in bootloader more nor in Recovery so I can't push the new ROM to it. It only shows an unknown USB device. I manually uninstalled and reinstalled the driver several times (from different sources), to no avail. What do I do? I vaguely remember this giving me a headache a year ago when I first fucked around with it and can't remember what helped.
>>53844798
>>53844794
>>53844790
Well I've found the problem. Now why did they all fail?
>>53844769
you are still READING t and z.

No idea, maybe you restarted during installtion or something?
>>53844589
change DNS, try different cable, if none of those work call your ISP.
>>53844762
first off you cant have two active installs with the same key.
secondly the OEM license is tied to the original motherboard and wont activate on a different computer.
also alienware is overpriced as fuck
>>53844836
depends on what you're gonna do with it.
>>53844786
so say i took the laptop out of the equation, would windows not realize that it's not installed on the original hardware anymore?

>>53844984
nice, i have got incredible mileage out of the vx450
>>53844944
you don't calculate x or y.
if x is larger than y you multiply x by 4 and store it in z.
if x is smaller or equal to y you divide y by 3 and store it in t.
then you write out t and z, but only one of them will have a value based on your calculations before.

How do I keep soft subs in an mkv I want to upload to youtube? When I try to do thisffmpeg -i input.mkv -ss 00:00 -t 00:00 -c copy ouptput.mkvand upload the result to youtube the subtitles are missing. Shouldn't -c copy copy everything, including subtitles?
>>53845249
youtube only supports SRT subtitles.
not sure if it pulls them directly from the video or if you have to add them manually.

I'm trying to access a rack mounted computer remotely so I can use it from my laptop.
So far I've tried Windows Remote Desktop and Splashtop.
The latter doesn't work offline. The former works but there's a problem with the mouse. I'm guessing it's reporting relative position because in my program when I try to adjust a control (DAW software) it jumps to maximum and doesn't want to go back until I've moved the mouse far enough in the opposite direction upon which it jumps to the other extreme.
Any alternatives to RDP and Splashtop or ways of fixing the mouse problem?
>>53845349
remove the condition and you can do both.
I have a really, really shitty x86 clover trail tablet with a digitizer (Samsung ATIV Tab 3) that I still want to be able to use. If you're curious, I did not spend a goddamn cent on it, but I doubt I will get much for selling this piece of trash.
It came with Windows 8 (not 8.1) and I have tried both the home versions for Windows 8.1 and 10. Both are trash, with 10 being slightly worse because it has to use 8.1 drivers due to lack of official support for it. I can't manage to install Debian on it or any other distro that might be able to boot in UEFI 32 bit tablets because it really dislikes to get past GRUB.
So I'm stuck with only two options, 8.1 and 10. Is there any sort of modified version of 8.1 (like in the days of XP, I kinda recall) that can run lighter on resources?
>>53845368
Ok tnx man you've been a big help!

So replaced the cord on one of my USB gamepads with another cable from an old broken USB keyboard.
When i tested it, windows won't recognize the device. Tried switching the green and white cables (because in some schematics data + can be green and in others can be white, same with data -) but it didn't work, i get the same error.
What could the error be? Maybe the wires inside the cable are cut?
If any info helps, the cable has 5 wires: red, green, white and two blacks.
Since neither /wsg/ or /a/ could help I might as well ask here.

Well Microsoft sure didn't help. Spent an hour with the guy to be told that Education Windows 10 doesn't get to install manual updates. We have to wait for the updates to install themselves, even though I've been waiting quarter of a year for this one.

probably 15 to 20 GB.
so would low USB power typically be more indicative of a motherboard issue or a PSU failure?
the PSU is several years older than the motherboard and a bit budget bin but I've been having some weird USB glitches too, honestly not sure if it's all power related

balance = balance * 0.021
return balance
What I need to accomplish is to finish this action, and then test balance again to check if the value of balance is less than 10, and if so, balance should equal 10.
Is there any way to make multiple tests on balance?
