So when downloading files from the internet I can get ~5 mb/s or so over my home's wifi. But for some reason when I try to transfer files from one computer to another in my home I get ~ 1.5 mb/s.

Why is this? Shouldn't the speed be faster? Like close to the 100 mb/s the router advertises? Both computers have good connections, but when moving files across wifi they won't transfer any faster than 1.5 mb/s

Someone enlighten me here.

Corsair CX500M states it has 2 PCI connectors on it on the specifications. (6+2pin x2)

But when i look at the CPU im wondering where theese 2 PCI connectors are.

Given that im using the Sata for drives and peripherals for fans and such.
If i'm using the 8pin for the CPU that only leaves me with 6pin for the GPU right?

Am i missing something here? Do i just not plug the CPU power cable in?

You can't plug the PCI-E wire supplied with this PSU because it only fix in the 6+2 PCI-E slot meaning you are stuck with just 2x 6+2 connectors for this plug.

You can get another 2x+6+2 connectors from the Peripheral ports if you plug the molex wire and then use a molex to 6+2 adapter that usually comes with new GPUs or buy them.

Something about the way you asked that makes me suspicious of your intents, but I'll answer anyway. Hopefully you're an Iranian political dissident and not, say, a terrorist or kiddy fiddler.

Basically, to have even a soft guarantee of security (using any platform), you have to ACTUALLY know what you're doing. You need to understand the problems, the solutions your platform offers for them, how it implements them, the possible side channel attacks and how to mitigate them, etc.

With zero experience, you are more likely to draw attention to yourself than hide. So my advice is: If it's actually critical to stay anonymous, don't even try until you've thoroughly educated yourself on the entire field of computer/network security.

I think i'm really misunderstanding something here

6+2 PCI connectors, are they 6+2 on the GPU side but 6 on the PSU side so they can fit in the 6pin holes?

Pick two: Cheap, good, laptop.

Still, that particular one doesn't look awful. But it has no SSD. I don't think you'd want to boot from mechanical storage in 2016. Budget for an SSD and swap it in.

Can I ask why you want a large laptop, though? It seems to me that anything over 12" is too big to actually cart around, so you'd be using it as a desktop replacement. Why not just get a desktop?

Following idea: I have a virtual machine running, in that VM there is a website open which has some tick-data (data that changes possibly every second), now I have a python script that takes control of the mouse and keyboard and does the following:

[2] copy / CTRL+C
[3] paste/ save in a .txt-file

However the .txt-file must be readable and accessible fast by another program OUTSIDE of the VM, a program that runs on my actual computer. Is that possible, e.g. can files that are generated inside the VM be saved to my actual C:\ drive? please say yes, please...

The answer is yes, of course. Files can be shared from one computer to another. Look into CIFS/Samba/NFS/etc for ways to locally mount a location shared on a network. There's also FTP, SFTP and shit like that.

Upon attempting to add a 3rd 4tb hgst harddrive to my xubuntu machine, it will not appear in the bios or in the actual operating system. When I plug this device into either a windows machine or the xubuntu machine via sata to usb connection to check if the actual disk is broken, I can only see 1.64 tb of storage space, regardless of how the partition table is formatted. What can I do to make the remaining space available, and how can I make my xubuntu machine see it through the sata port? Again, this is the 3rd drive of it's kind I've tried to put into the server, and the only one that's fucked. The motherboard itself has 4 sata ports, so unless the other two are somehow locked in the bios I can't fathom what would cause this. The pc itself is a hp compaq 6005 pro refurb.

8.1: Boot to desktop instead of start screen, install Classic Shell's start menu, disable corner/edge actions with it, and use normal control panel instead of PC Settings. You now have a basically Metro-free desktop experience.

10: You're pretty much stuck with Metro. It's spread into too much of the system to fully avoid. You can avoid a lot of it by installing Classic Shell start menu, using the old control panel instead of Settings, etc.

So the Windows 7 .iso I have is Enterprise. I heard of this thing called DAZ (aka Windows Loader 2.2.2) that can make Windows genuine after installation. Problem is, I don't see Enterprise in the list of supported versions of Windows 7. Bit of a problem unless I'm willing to free up space and snag Professional or Ultimate from elsewhere (then again, I don't see Ultimate on TPB).

Furthermore, my case showed up. I'll most likely get the GTX 950 next month. Don't intend on going higher then 1080p and while the benchmarks on Digital Foundry seem okay, I don't intend on playing anything especially recent or graphically heavy. As in, nothing Digital Foundry featured.

But I'm getting sidetracked. The case I got is a Corsair 200R. Can that Hyper 212 EVO fan fit in there without obstructing anything on the motherboard (like the RAM slots) or will the generic fan suffice for the 8320E? The box itself looks a ways smaller then I thought so I don't even know if there's a fan in there (I'm not opening anything until every part is accounted for).

Give it atleast two cores especially since your laptop is most likely a 2 core 4 thread so you are giving the Ubuntu vm half of a cpu core which is why it is so slow.

*/ Posted this in /fglt/ but thought I should post here as well /*

Just installed Ubuntu on my Macbook Pro Retina, need a bit of help regarding GRUB.

So I tried installing Arch and Windows on this laptop ages ago, gave up and then went back to pure OS X. Then I tried dual booting it with OS X and a bootcamp Windows partition; worked but it literally had no use, so I ended up repartitioning and going back to pure OS X again.

Now I just want to dual boot Ubuntu and OS X on the laptop, which I can do as of right now but it's really sketchy. I can get into Ubuntu from GRUB on boot up but in order to get into OS X I have to hold down ALT on startup and get in using that. Not to mention on my GRUB menu (and when I hold down ALT) there's fucking 'boot into Windows' sort of options even know I don't have Windows installed or want it anywhere on this drive.

How do I get GRUB to give me just two options on boot up - Ubuntu and OS X? I eventually want to switch to a sexier boot loader (like rEFInd or someshit) but for now I just want to get it setup nice and simple.

Suppose I have some abstract data type that is built up of layers of abstraction. Say I can expose the lower levels of abstraction through the higher levels interface.

Now, some function relies on a particular level of this data type as argument. Should I give it the highest possible level of abstraction and have the function extract the level required, or should I have the data type give the lowest level of abstraction possible?

Example: say I have a wrapper data type for a list and it has a function getList(). Some function requires the list itself, not the wrappers interface. Do I give it the list with getList() as argument, or do I pass it the wrapper and have the function call getList()?

If you need a faster one get a PCIe/SAS/M.2 one.

My 2012 PC with mostly 2011 hardware will be undergoing an upgrade soon. I'm also feeling like Tom Hanks in Big when he gets his first paycheck. I'm up for spending some money.
I need help figuring out graphics card, and I'd appreciate some pros and cons from more up to date peers. So here's what I'm looking at:
>PC is designed mostly for games. Not playing many triple A games, but I'd like my machine to handle them at high+ settings
>I have a 144Hz full HD monitor which doesn't support Gsync. So I want my graphics card to render games well at high frame rates
Now, I know 970 has this 3.5gb ordeal, so I want to ask whether or not the 980 has some big flaw of the same scale. What about other models, are they any good for the task? In addition to that, the AMD graphics line baffles me with its 290 and 290x and now the three hundreds. How do you introduce a newcomer to the AMD graphics world? Which AMD card is on par with which Nvidia card?

I keep seeing arguments on the wide web and on /v/ that say "this game works great on this brand's cards, but after the update, it support the other one's much better". I see technologies of one brand handicap the other brand badly. Is there a drama-free graphics card that avoids all that, renders the games well and just werk?
