Are smartphones actually susceptible to viruses? I was dicking around with the browser and some pages a couple of days ago, and yesterday i noticed that nothing has sound anymore.

I can't hear music, vidya sounds, or even audio messages from Telegram; yet i called someone and also got called, and no problem with the sound. The only way i can hear anything now is with earphones, and checking the configurations didn't helped at all.

Phone is a Moto E2 with android 5.1, if it helps.

A few of my old iPhones have broken screens. Is there a way to recover my files (namely images, videos, voice recordings, and notes) from them? I have the passcode I would have used, should that be necessary.

I know people used to SSH into iPhones in the early days of jailbreaking; would this be an option for recovering my files? Is that something I could set up without having to manage the phone in iTunes? (iTunes will want to just wipe the phones because they were set up on different computers than the one I use now.)

You don't really know what you're talking about.

You only have two options for a worthwhile upgrade from the 965 right now: wait for Zen (December) or go all-out on a Skylake platform right now.

If you aren't willing to fork out the cash for Skylake, there's nothing worth upgrading to. Save your money.

How come the fx 8350 gets beat out by even haswell i3's in gaming benchmarks? The 8350 runs at 4ghz and the i3's usually run at about 3ghz. Does the fx series have a crappy IPC? Is it just the fact that games can't use all 8 cores yet? Will the 8350 start edging out as games use more cores as quad cores start becoming the norm?
>>
>>53928225
Yes. Piledriver IPC is roughly equivalent to the old Core 2 chips.

An i3-6100 should soundly whoop the 8350 in gaming.

So is the FX series just universally bad for games when a i3 6100 is only $130? I've heard that fx series is monstrous at overclocking though. What If I were to get the 8350 up to like 4.4 or 4.5?

>>53928225
Because the 8350 is 3 years old and was mediocre when new.

https://steelseries.com/gaming-mousepads/qck-xxl
>>
>>53928575
Because it depends on use case and desired price / performance.

For example, Somebody with a prebuilt OEM machine who wants to use the 75 watts of power the PCIE can deliver (so you don't fuck around with power supply plugs) will obviously want a gtx 750ti or one of those new 950's that can do it.

A bargain hunter gamer who wants the best possible game performance for their money might pick something like a r9 380, or bargain shop for a used r9 290 and get great performance.

A person who wants a gpu that "just werks" and never has high temps or power consumption, and will likely never have driver issues will probably get a gtx 970 despite the 3.5gb issue which everybody knows about by now.

A person who wants a tiny itx computer, but wants high performance, will probably go with a Fury or r9 Nano. (I love the nano btw.)

A person who wants to crush benchmarks and game at 1440p 60fps will probably pick something like the 980/980ti because sure, there are some edge cases where the fury cards beat it, but the 980ti is pretty much the king right now.

tl;dr - there isn't a definitive answer.

more link.com and so on

Basically separate it into new files with randomshittywebsite.com as a cutpoint for each one. It seems bash is my best bet but I never used it and could use some advice. The idea is something like

for (i=0; i<500; i++;)
{
while grep ! randomshittywebsite.com { grep or whatever bash uses to find strings)
{
redirect output to file$;
}
$++;
}

You can probably keep your case and power supply, that alone could save a nice chunk of money. It also depends on what you are using the system for.

Gaming? Get rid of that shit. Normal browsing/ media consumption / light photo editing perhaps? Ehh probably fine. If you're going to build a new system from scratch though, might as well buy a Skylake i3 (see >>53928273, >>53928404) to take advantage of ddr4 ram. Will be more "future proof". Get a decent Mobo - so if you want to get a stronger cpu later, all you'll have to do is swap out the chip, and it should be easy to sell secondhand.

I've got a weird Bluetooth issue with my phone.
So Bluetooth always seems to be at the top of battery list. I have an Android Wear device that's paired.
Battery life isn't too bad though, just standby time isn't the greatest.
It didn't do this on 5.1.1, only since I upgraded to 6.0.1
Gsam doesn't report any Bluetooth wakelocks or anything. I've cleared the dalvik cache.
Do you think it's just bugged or what? Bear in mind I did an in-place upgrade to 6.0.1, without changing any of my Wear apps.

tl;dr: att gave me the network unlock code for an lg g3. now it doesn't work. the woman stopped paying her contract but I have the network unlock code so it should unlock it but it doesn't. says unlock request unsuccessful


hi /g/,
I bought a cracked screen lg g3 d850 to fix and resell on mercari.
I asked the woman if it was all payed off with no contract, she said yes and naive me believed her so I rolled the dice.
she showed the phones imei so
as insurance I made a unlock code request to att before paying her through the mercari app.
att actually sent the unlock code to my email.
so I'm like, cool if she stops paying I enter the code and can still use it for tmobile networks.

after I put the new lcd digitizer on the phone.
I pop a tmobile sim and the phone asks for the unlock code.
so I enter the code att provided and it doesn't work.
out of curiosity to see if my hunch was correct I requested the unlock code through att website again and I got an request denied for non payment.

so how does this work?
I have the unlock code for the phone but it doesn't unlock the phone.
I check the imei on swappa and it's not blacklisted. yet? maybe.

even if I pay a third party for an unlock code
won't they just send me the same number att already gave me?

wat do?

Can anyone give me advice with using the Asrock 970 Pro3 R2.0 motherboard?
I've been having performance issues (see >>53930541 ) and I also have the problem that I can't browse around in the BIOS as much as I'd like to because the CPU overheats as if on 100% usage when in BIOS.
So I can only move quickly in the BIOS and frankly have no idea what to do if I want to make sure everything's running the best it can.

I recently got an LG d290n smartphone which is my very first one so i am still new to this whole thing.
Now however i came accross the not enough space problem when i wanted to update a game but i have an SD card.
It is currently using fat32 and used as external storage.
How can i change apps to install directly to the card and also download there too without me needing to manually move the app to the SD card.
Do i need to create a 2nd particion on it with ext3 or 4 as file system.
If that's done then what?

Movies are good on an HDD because you can load a movie as you watch it, and an HDD will outpace the rate of viewing.
The only cost is a second extra to open the movie.

Pictures on an HDD will still be super fast, though I find that loading large folders of [heresy]furry porn[/heresy] takes several seconds with all the thumbnails.

Documents, probably just as good if not better in terms of not having a noticable performance loss.

Unless you're a heavy gamer, after moving all of the above to an HDD you should have plenty of SDD room

look at the file size

This has been bothering me for a while and I'm beyond assblasted.

My headset doesn't work at all if I plug it on the frontal panel.

Case is an Antec 300 and mobo is a P8Z68-VLX.

There are two types that look exactly the same: ac97 and hd audio. Make sure that you plugged the right cable into your motherboard (or that you plugged it into the right socket)
Also, I have an Antec 900 and the front panel audio has always buzzed sometimes. I'm not sure what causes it, but maybe Antec just doesn't know how to make a front panel.

So I just bought a new SSD (500GB, the old one was 120GB) and I've decided to give win10 a try.

Yes, I know win10 is Orwellian as fuck and all that shit, I just want to try dual-booting it alongside win7.

I'm just wondering which one to install where and in what order. As far as I know I do need to 'upgrade' from win7 first for licensing reasons even if I want a fresh win10 install, so should I:

A
>intall win7 on the new drive and then upgrade to win10

B
>upgrade my old drive to win10, fresh install win 10 to the new drive and then roll back to win7 on the old one

C

I'm using Java Swing, I've got 3 windows which all share similar buttons and components, is there a way I can just copy this Layout with a parent class or something? Seem off having to copy and paste chunks of code
