Why does my storage run so hot /g/? that Hitachi drive gets to be about 55C when I render video. The files aren't even on that drive! Is it airflow?

Re-asking: pls explain in simple terms how I might manage to use consecutive free trials on Hulu; I'm too scared to torrent movies (only use slsk) and I need their Criterion Collection - can I use Tor for this or a VPN or something? I haven't used a proxy b4

Personally, I'd want such a space to have
>quiet
>good lighting
>halfway reasonable privacy -- yeah I know it's a shared space but I don't want to be staring into strangers' faces when I look up from my laptop
>fast internet
>clean
>coffee and/or vending machines
>reasonably close to someplace to eat, or offers acceptable food
>reasonably close to public transit if applicable
>enough security that if I get up to use the crapper or get a snack, my laptop will still be there when I get back
>>53993508
Likely airflow then, or physical positioning of the drive. Spinny things need a motor to stay spinning, and motors make heat. Throw in the extra heat coming from your CPU, GPU and everything else and it can get a bit toasty.
I'd like to register a domain cheaply. Where do I do that? And what does it give you compared to

If you're referring to something like a suite in a commercial building, that's not what I mean. I meant owning something like this.

Basically opening a place where a small startup can rent a desk/small office for like $500/month. Or an individual could pay for a weekly pass, something like that. You're generally around other people that may just be there to avoid coding at starbucks.

This guy gets the idea. Thanks.
>>53993804
I use dynu.com myself. These aren't domains but subdomains. Any of these services will let you pay for premium service, but also offer something for free. I don't know if afraid can do automatic updating of IP address (dynamic DNS) but dynu can, using the same client protocol as dyndns.
To buy an actual domain name, namecheap has has them pretty cheap and is better on service than godaddy.
>>53993836
thank you, will look into it. I am looking for an easy way to scrape a small part of text that changes every second. I want to copy it and work with it in R (statistical software) afterwards, I found a rJava-package for R to control the mouse, however, controlling the keyboard doesn't seem to work with R, so I need a quick fix for the copy-part. So far I have implemented right-mouse-click and then click copy in the mouse-menu. But there must be a faster / easier solution to copying it to the clipboard.
>>53993890
Ok thanks for the info.
>>53993891
Yep seems like autohotkey is perfect for that. You get mouse control, file output. Keystrokes.
Not really hard to do either. Just read the docs.
For testing I'd recommend you always keep a button bound to break the script. It's rather annoying when you gotta work around your mouse flying about the place.
>>53993891
If you can do a little win32 programming, you can enumerate windows and elements, locate the element, read its contents if it's an ordinary label. You might even be able to hook a message on it like WM_PAINT to be told whenever it changes so you can scrape it.
The easiest way is going to be autohotkey though -- triple click to select text, send ctrl+c, click bottom of notepad window, send ctrl+v, send enter, sleep a bit less than a second. Then later process the file to delete duplicate values since "sleep a bit less than a second" will have copied a few of them twice before they changed -- it's better than trying to hit the timing exactly and missing the occasional value.

My program uses OpenGL with wrapper GLFW. I get a bunch of undefined functions unless I explicitly tell the linker to link to MinGW\lib\libopengl32.dll.
Why do I need to do this? Isn't this library part of the the standard library that comes with mingw?
>>53993981
This is how GCC usually is. It doesn't have project files that you tell what libraries you're going to use, and it can't magically know what library the functions you referenced are in, so you have to tell it. You do this on the command line, or you can have a makefile that compiles your whole project with just the command "make" - very handy for anything beyond one or two source files.

I've picked up programming again after about a year of downtime. I'm building a Chess program. Believe it or not, it's in Java and I'm actually having fun; my soul has yet to burn in an endless scorch of monotony.
With some research I've moved up to programming architectures, such as MVP, MVC, and MVVM. I've elected to use MVP for my graphical chess program.
When I asked the users on StackOverflow why the following line was bad, I was thrown terms like Law of Demeter and tight coupling:ArrayList<Coordinate> possibleMoves = singlePlayerPresenter.getModel().getBoard().getPieceByPos(movePiece).getPossibleMoves(singlePlayerPresenter.getModel().getPieceArray());
I didn't really think this looked right when I wrote it, thus why I asked about it.
I understand that, by Law of Demeter, the View should not move through one object, the Presenter, to reach another object, the Model. What I don't understand is necessarily why. It seems that Java itself does this, like in the following line:gameBoard.getColumnModel().getColumn(i).setMinWidth(SQUARE_CELL);
How is that not the same thing?
Also, how could you possibly avoid tight coupling in an MVP architecture? Doesn't the Presenter update the View when a change is made in the Model? Wouldn't this therefore fall under the rule that "If A changes a result of a change in B, A and B are tightly coupled?"
Is there a way to check if I website is banned in other countries? Also, is there a way to see traffic trends to a certain website for each US state (or each country)?

I'm not looking for a media client, though it does look good: I don't have the content myself which is why I want to make use of Hulu's free trial accounts - I've done this once before, so I need to use a proxy or smth to make more trial accounts but idk how so I'm asking. Is giving unique IP addresses (or the functional equivalent) within Tor's purview or do I need to use a VPN for something like this?

Hey guys. I am trying to install my new r9 390 to replace my old 7870 card. I swapped out the cards, plugged in power to the new card, etc., but now my monitor/keyboard/mouse aren't showing power when I turn on my computer.
Everything on the inside looks okay (lights on the new GPU are lighting up, some lights on the mobo are on, all fans on, etc.) I've tried connecting my monitor via HDMI and DVI but neither have worked. I even swapped back in my old card just to make sure everything was cool. When I had my old card in, I uninstalled my old drivers just to make sure that wasn't messing anything up. But now that I have the 390 back in there it still won't boot up.
Anyone have any advice? I feel like I've dealt with this sort of thing before but idk how to troubleshoot it any further. My PSU should be good enough for the new card.
So I had a site redirect me to my ip, thus redirecting to the router page, which for some reason I cannot change the username/password of. Firefox alerted the redirection and login attempt; it didn't prevent the redirection, but it seemingly prevented the login attempt - the page didn't get past the dialog and the logs say nothing.
I reset the router and everything; and I have 2 questions:
1. what happened
2. can someone find you even though you changed your ip?
mac address comes to mind, but I don't know exactly what this is.

>>53997083
A fan pushes or pulls hot air away from the hot part. The hot air gets displaced by cooler air around it which takes some of the heat from the hot part and gets warmer. Repeat.
An air conditioner has coolant in it that is initially fluid. The coolant evaporates (inside the unit), which takes some of the heat of the surrounding matter and cools it. The evaporated coolant goes around to the back of the AC unit where it is liquified again (which takes some energy again but releases some of the energy stored in it during evaporation) making the back of the unit hotter. The coolant is now liquid again and cycles around to the "cool" side of the AC unit. The heat from the back of the unit may be dissipated by a fan and/or radiator.

What do you do when you have a file that absolutely refuses to be deleted? As in the confirmation dialog never shows up? I even tried a file shredder and the program froze up. The file's not even that big, it's most likely corrupt.
>>53997240
You don't, you redirect it.
Heat is transferred from hot areas to cold areas. When you're in your mom's kitchen heating some hot pockets, try touching the stove. Feels cold, right? That's because it is colder than your hand (around 20°C vs 30°C) and thus some of the heat of your body is transferred into it. Now fire up the stove, wait a few minutes and touch it again. You will find the reverse is now true.
So a hot part will heat up its cooler surroundings. In order to cool the part you remove the warm surrounding air and replace it with cool air (fan blows hot air away, air is now missing, cooler air flows into the space around the hot part) which can then take some heat off the hot part again.

How is a 900p or 720p image displayed on a 1080p screen without black bars? I can't get my head around it since 1080/900 for example gives a 1.2 ratio and it's not like my screen is physically increasing pixel size by 1.2 to accommodate it.
>>53997733
1920 / 1080 = 1.77
1600 / 900 - 1.77
1280 / 720 = 1.77
There's no such resolution as 1080x900 unless you create a custom one for yourself.
>>53996789
>>53997785
That's not what I meant, assume that LxW ratio is always 16:9. So I'm wondering how a 1600x900 image is displayed on a 1920x1080 screen without black bars.

What do each of the colours mean? Where's the legend?
>>53995624
If you're worried about a programming question all you can do is practice. Look up standard SE etc interview questions.
>>53997853
Why would you need to draw black?
Say the stock market is in pre-open, and there is a buy order for 31, and a sell order for 29, both orders for 100 shares. Obviously, once the market opens, the market would clear and 100 shares would be transacted for $29 each.
But what if I put in a buy order for 100 shares at 32? I'd get to jump to the front of the queue and get those 100 shares for 29, right? What if the other guy sees this and decides they really want to be at the front of the queue so he adjusts his bid to be 90? Would they still pay 29?
>>53997853
There ain't no need for black bars, they have the same aspect ratio. I dun told ya this!

Is CM Storm Devastator combo good?
I mean, its really popular on pcpartpicker.
>>53994974
Looks good enough.
Get a cheaper or different case.
Get the GTX 960 2GB, there is no difference between the 2 and 4GB versions for this card other than its cheaper.
Get a WD Blue.
Get 2400 MHz RAM and save some money.
Keep the 212 evo, good discount.
You might want to invest $40 more and get a EVGA 650 G1.
>>53998039
I don't know how that software determines that. Additionally, I don't know why you insist on using it (I remember your earlier posts).
>>53998051
Also can the leds be turned off? i dont really like leds but the are the cheapest option.
>>53997924
>Why would you need to draw black?
Because it would be the easiest way to display a 1600x900 image on a 1920x1080 screen I think, no need for stretching.
If I wanted to stretch a 1600x900 image on a 1920x1080 screen then because a pixel can only display one color at a time, some pixels will be in error won't they?
>>53998089
I really don't know how to answer your original question. Why would the video server need to draw black over every thing else?
>>53998047
Thank you
>>53997694
Your specs are par. Go ahead and sell it.
> $1000
shit nigger what are you doing
Your computer is worth only $600-750 TOPS.
You can sell it for $800-900, but if you want a low turnover, you can stick with $1000.
If you want to hear my reasoning, I'll tell you.
Trying to learn the command prompt, I just want to set commands for common programs so I can pretend I'm using aliases in Linux I guess. It opens Chrome fine, but doesn't bring up my default tab page, instead it appears to be searching the file path for some reason. Does anyone know how I could fix this? I don't understand why chrome would take it upon itself to search for it's own file path online.
>>53994974
You can build a better computer cheaper with a few tweaks
>buy haswell or broadwell CPU
>buy only 8gb of RAM (trust me, it will be enough)
>buy manufacturer refurbished GTX 970/980 (90 day warranty)
>buy 1TB Hitachi hard drive
As your build stands 16gb of DDR4 and Skylake is overkill for a 960.
/lit/ here. I like to write in plain text, but I have no idea what type of encoding to save my files with. I don't even know how to check what encoding was used on my existing .txt files. I just spent an hour googling and reading articles, and I still have no fucking clue (if anything, I am even more confused now).
Please, without explaining a thing to me, just tell me what a creative writer working in plain text should be using. Without knowing why, I assume it's UTF-8.
>>53998166
It's worth more than $750. There are z800s on ebay with worse specs selling for more.

yes, of course. This is what happens when you don't have exact multiple scaling.

your methods must be declared as a variable type or void. Methods that return values must have arguments. You call that method, inputting the arguments, by assigning a variable to it.main() {
int a = 2;
int b = 3;
int c = add(a,b);
//i don't know into int to string in java
putonscreen(c);
}
public int add(int first,int second){
return a+b;
}
public void putonscreen(string message){
println(message);
}

>>53994974
Gross.
Spend less on the CPU or get an LGA2011-3 board and a Xeon E5-1620 V3, keep the cooler, the gayman RAM is par but isn't ECC so it's shit (doesn't matter in your case anyways, since you're a poorfag who can't buy a motherboard with more than FOUR RAM slots), the Hitachi drive is cheaper with the same specifications by a better manufacturer (seriously, what the fuck?), you're wasting your money with a 960 with extra ram than you would be with a 380X, get a 380 instead, spend more on the case and get a decent one at least (this part will probably last longer than you will on that poorfag diet), and I would recommend getting a better power supply, but you would probably be overbudget.

>>53998234
> It's worth more than $750. There are z800s on ebay with worse specs selling for more.
Yeah, no.
It's value is $700 when you include the case.
Compared to other computers that have also been sold recently on eBay, your computer is currently worth $800-900.
Compared to other computers that have been sold for around a thousand dollars, they are mostly the same, but are both overvalued.
> There are z800s on ebay with worse specs selling for more.
I'm not denying that. But those fags had to wait longer to sell their shit than if it was competitively priced; hence, the turnover rate I mentioned earlier.
>>53998447
Sure.
Just get some good fans for cooling if you're going to go that route.
Alternatively, you could just stick it in a tray full of mineral oil or whatever.
>>53998473

I don't think I need to consider your opinion from here on out.
Do SSDs "noticeably" die? Like will they become slower first or something?
I read through SSD reviews on Amazon and in general there seems to be way less reviews of SSDs dying than for HDDs. In fact, I think 99% of the 1 star reviews are from people who bought the wrong size, complained that the backup program that came with it didn't work or the regular morons who complain about shipping time.
HELP ME WITH ALSA ON ARCH
IT WON'T WORK IDON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
>>53998531
No,ssd don't die.
Ssds ,like other electronics, are rated for a fixed time that they will work on an average.This time is very large to even care for.
How bad an idea is it to buy used PC parts?
>>53998644
>CPUs
Should be alright if they don't have any visible marks
>HDDs
lol nope, gl hf
>SSDs
if they're not older than a year maybe, but new SSDs are pretty cheap anyway so I doubt it'll be worth it
>GPUs
have a fair bit of variance, but if you get one really cheap, it might be worth it.
As always, common sense applies. If the offer says it wasn't overclocked or hasn't been mined with, you bet your ass it has been overclocked or mined with.
I need help, I want to play games in low setting or mid settings, I can run some games already like the batman arkham series and stuff like that, but I tried Dark Souls 3 and it runs very slow.
So my question is, which one of these cards allow me to play games like DS3 in low or mid settings based on my PC specs?
>>53998527
> I don't think I need to consider your opinion from here on out.
Here we go.
>2x Xeon x5650 - $100 (slightly undervalued)
>GTX 960 2gb - $100 (undervalued)
>12gb non-ecc non-buffered RAM 1333mhz - $100 (overvalued)
>2x Samsung 840 120GB ssd - $100 (overvalued)
>1x Hitachi Ultrastar 1TB 7200rpm hdd &
>1x Hitachi Deskstar 1TB 7200rpm hdd - $100 (overvalued)
All this:
>1x Western Digital Blue 320GB 7200rpm HDD
>Front bay card reader
>Front bay 3.5" hot swap bay
>Pioneer BD-R/W
>PCI-E rear USB 3.0 ports
- $100 (overvalued)
And with a case worth a hundred dollars, I'd say that with a bit of simple arithmetic, your computer is, in fact, worth only $700 dollars.
Stay mad, kid.

Guys what do if pic related area glows a hot orange colour? It started glowing the first time I turned this computer on so I panicked, turned it off and haven't touched it since. Sorry about shit quality but my laptop camera is bad. Motherboard is an ASUS H110M-A
I just built my first PC and PCPartPicker said all my parts were compatible. Immediately after starting it running windows 7, it said I needed a network adapter driver. No sweat. I download intel's network driver on my laptop, since I have an Intel CPU, and when I ran it on my desktop, ot gave an error saying it isn't an intelligent network adapter. My board is from MSI. What do I need to download / do to get my desktop Internet compatible?

>>53998855

>>53998644
CPUs and motherboards are fantastic deals for the most part, full computers are also fantastic if the seller is trying to sell them off quickly because quick = cheap (otherwise, steer clear - the market is usually full of fags who overvalue their shit - see >>53997694), HDDs are also fantastic if you buy SAS, but if you buy SATA just know that it WILL fail sometime, SSDs are good resale, but why would anybody buy an SSD unless it was for a laptop?
GPUs are good, some good deals pop up here and there, and people are willing to sell them at a discount every generation or so, cases always retain value unless they don't have a lot of fans and/or they have scratches, but they cost a lot to ship, RAM is fantastic, especially for older versions and even moreso for ECC RAM, coolers are fine, PSUs are great, and peripherals are great for the most part but are mostly dependent on what is being sold.
Other than that, I can't really think of anything else that's really relevant. This is just what I've observed while snooping for deals.
Overall, I'd say that it's actually a very good idea.

>>53996229
Hey leslie, shut your fucking mouth.
>>53993438
What does having more RAM do for your computer?
>>53996229
I really don't get what you mean. Within the code, as in just implement a function that reinitializes the variables you tell it to? And data is vague. What kind of data, how is it stored? Either way the answer is yes and most likely trivial.
>>53998956
And you're gaming on low settings at those resolutions?
Ah, whatever though. At least you have the capacity for the games in the first place.
If you want cheap and new, a 730, 240, or even a 720 or a 710 may suffice.
If you want old and gold, a 560 will treat you right - though it does have a higher power consumption.
If you want something you can use RIGHT NOW and you don't want it using too much power, then a 650 or 640 is fantastic.
>>53999156
I only have 32 bucks on my paypal account, would that suffice for any of those cards?
>>53999128
Instead of having to write and delete all your shit to your storage every time you do something, the RAM does it so you don't fuck up your drives, and instead of accessing the drive, the CPU accesses the RAM when it needs to.
Is there any way to change the tone and duration of internal motherboard speaker?
I changed my current rig's speaker with a much older one with a more pronounced tone, but the tone on the old speaker is now the same as on the new one, so I guess the beep is set by the firmware, how can I change it?
>>53999174
With a budget like that, I would save up until you get at least 50, because that was the max price range I had in mind when looking up cards.
I'll see what I can do, though; the lowest I could find so far was a GT 640 that fucks you on shipping.

What the fuck are you even doing? Not that anon, but if you can't answer the questions in the /sqt/ thread with any sense then don't answer them.
>>53997694
You will need to have at least 24gb of ram if you want to sell at that price point.
>>53999242
I knew somebody was going to say that.
The 960's actual value is around $150, but that was more than balanced out by the lack of value in the RAM, SSDs, and HDDs.
So my point still stands. $700.

Hey, what do you know!
I found a few cards that weren't too terrible!

This was near the bottom of Passmark's High End Video Cards list, you know. They'll be better than nothing and are fantastic for what they are, but don't expect too much.
Both of the cards linked in this post have prices that are in your budget including shipping, and are more than likely better than some of the other cards I listed previously. There could be better deals, however, as I didn't check Amazon.
Stay cucked, poorfag. Stay cucked.
:^)
why are there no video cards being sold without a cooling option like unlocked Intel cpus?
>>53999376
That's retarded and you're retarded.
>>53999384
why? if you want to use your own cooling you're gonna want to save a few bucks and get a card without a cooler
>>53999389
And how much money are you liable to save by not buying a model with a cooler?
>>53999401
$20-30? I think it's a reasonable save especially for mid range cards
>>53999410
GPU coolers are more complicated and less standardized, so the market for custom ones is much smaller.
>>53999410
Yeah, but how much does a HSF cost for a graphics card?
>>53999425
Ah okay, that makes a lot more sense.
>>53999425
Actually, there's two standard sizes, and then different ones for Nvidia's low profile cards which are a bitch to get a hold of without buying a card.
>>53999434
I mean, there's one size for their low profile cards, but holy fuck if it's hard to get anything for it.
I'm going to get an EVGA 740 just so I can stick the HSF on an MSI 750 Ti for fucks sake.

Learn to clearly specify problems.
So you basically want to install 1x8GB RAM and an SSD into their respective empty slots?
The problem is, that the Volt & Ampere Listing in the Datasheet is maximum Draw. It does not say, how many Watts it consumes over a time period on an average or intensive workload.
Assuming we use maximum Draw and a Laptop with (65W usual power consumption (I don't factor in efficiency losses / though battery source direct current should carry less loss.))
RAM 8W (probably maximum draw), SSD ~3W (probably an average)
x ... time you can use Laptop
y ... time you can use Laptop + RAM + SSD
I: TotalCapacity[Wh] = 65 [W] * x [h]
II: TotalCapacity[Wh] = (65 + 8 + 3) [W] * y [h]
II': TotalCapacity[Wh] = 76 [W] * y [h]
65 [W] * x [h] = 76 [W] * y [h]
(65 * x) [Wh] = (76 * y) [Wh]
65 * x = 76 * y
x = (76/65) * y
x = ~116,92% * y
-> Without RAM+SSD the Laptop can be used ca. 16% longer than with RAM+SSD.
y = (65/76) * x
y = ~85,53% * x
-> With RAM+SSD the Laptop can be used ca. 14% shorter than without RAM+SSD.
