my R9 390 is stuck on the board, the board has this stupid piece of shit butterfly switch/locking mechanism but it doesn't fucking move, any ideas, any good tiny tools to saw that shit off or something?
HDD 100% usage spikes and laptop freezes for 1-2 secs every 2-10 minutes caused by "System and compressed memory" process.
I've tried disabling Superfetch, Windows Search, Background inteligent transfer service, disabling "Show me tips about Windows", tried different Virtual memory settings, different Power Plan settings, but nothing helps.
any ideas?

whats the mobo?
anyway, a fucking saw will fix it, as mobo holds only that one do-hickey at the end of the card

How do I remove the "recent" tab in Nautilus side pane?
>>54002522
Not usually.
GTX 780 is better than 960 for example.
M series are mobile series are really weak cards but way better than your IGPU and use way less energy.
Theyre not the same, not even half as powerful.
I can't figure out why this prints out 1:
double a = 10;
cout << ((a /= 2) / a);
I would expect 0.5
I think i found a problem in a gentoo overlay. a simple letter change on a flag- --enable-i-really-know...patches-aba
+ - --enable-i-really-know...patches-abb
would fix it but i don't know where to report this issue. the guy who maintains the overlay seems like the place to start but I don't know how this all works and whether or not he can change the efl-9999.ebuild file, or if it's gentoos' portage tree maintainers' deal.
wat do?
>>54002543
>>54003017
I was planning on getting a regular desktop. But I got before I did, I came across this deal and got it 40% off. Which would save me tons of money and persuaded me to go for the laptop instead.
And really, for a 5 year old computer, that's not too bad. It has done me really well, allowing me to play games at max settings. But I am guessing it's finally starting to show its age.
I guess I'll have to consider buying a new PC again then. Looks like it's time.
is there a free image editor program other than GIMP that can save 32bit bitmaps with an alpha channel?
GIMP is just terrible. I only do simple stuff, I wish paint.NET could do 32bit bmps but it doesn't.

Anymore cases like the Silverstone FT02B-W?
They seem to make the most sense, not just because of the heat rising (i know I know, just add some fans to a normal case) but also I'm someone who needs constant access to the "back" of a computer

I even pushed with a screwdriver, which slipped on the board and scratched right over some data(?) lines

So I wanna put some of my code up in the cloud (github style), mainly for safekeeping, portability, and perhaps as a portfolio in the future. Given that github is looked down upon on /g/, what would you guys recommend I use?

How good is the haswell i5 IGPU?
Lets say with a recent game like XCOM 2.
Or with a recent card like GTX 950?
My graphics driver crashes if I play any video game that pushes the video card. The screen turns black and won't recover and I have to reboot. I can hear the GPU fan turn off but everything else stays on. Windows event viewer either gives no error or "display driver crashed and recovered" error.
I've replaced both my GPU and PSU. Clean install and problem persists even after switching from Nvidia to AMD. Clean install of Windows didn't help. Pretty sure we can cancel out GPU/PSU/Driver as the culprit.
Memtest86+ runs for 12 hours without error.
Safe to assume at this point that it's my motherboard crapping out? It doesn't matter which PCIe slot I use. 3D apps are the only thing that crash PC.
On the same topic: what's a good mobo manufacturer for AMD cpus? I'm using an ASUS mobo, not sure if I should switch over to MSi or a different brand.
>>54003821
For a turn-based title, XCOM 2 is actually very demanding: http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/gpu_displays/xcom_2_pc_performance_review_-_amd_vs_nvidia/6
The Haswell iGPU can run your desktop, and light games, like WoW: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Intel/Core_i7_4770K_Haswell_GPU/19.html
A GTX 950 will run all modern games, at medium settings. It will be much, much more powerful than the Haswell iGPU.

Hey /tech/, I have a sony vaio laptop with a "geforce 640m le" chip The computer has a little switch you can flick to go between integrated and dedicated.- IT used to play most games flawlessly. Nowadays, If i have the chip activated and launch a game my computer fans get louder and louder and then my computer crashes. This happens on old and new games. Seems like it's getting way too hot. What can I do?
Hey /g/,
Anyone knows if i can run dual 1080p screens on intel Hd graphics 530?

I have a number of files in a directory that I wish to rename.
Files are named A.B.C.D.E.extension

Any applications or scripts that may fit the bill? Thought I would ask before I start downloading random ad-bloated tools from google.
>>54004621
Run speccy and your game in a window, see if the temperature climbs.
You may need to open the cover of the laptop and clear any debris on the fans or the dedicated card
How can I love a linux distro?
The one I like the most is linux mitn because it looks like windows XP, which I loved a fuck ton.
Not a fan of the command line for now.
>>54004676
did you try googling "max resolution" and "number of monitors"
this is far beyond a stupid question
>>54004676
As long as your board has the ports and you have the appropriate cables for your monitors there should be no issue running dual-monitors from onboard
>>54004320
>Should i save and get a GTX 960
Up to you. It is something like a 10-15% increase in performance from the 950.
>I'm trying to get a low power card because i have a EVGA 500B
Should be fine with any card below the $300 stuff.

Unlike DVDs, Bluerays have a lot more DRM and better encryption in them.
So far the only tools I knew that actually worked for decrypting Blurays (allowing you to rip/play on software of your choosing) was Slysoft's AnyDVD HD or CloneBD.

I am running Ubuntu from a flash drive. Can I install windows from that same flash drive onto a new hard drive? Or do I need two flash drives?
ok /g/, so I switched from vlc to mpc.
I've been hearing about something called MadVR, but I'm not sure what it is. Is it worth getting and if it is what does it actually do?
Also, are there any recommended mpc settings or anything? I think I'm basically running it on all default settings right now.
>>54004752
thank you anon.
Should I also apply some new thermal paste ? I've never really worked with laptops in that way. I've had the thing since 2013 and have cleaned it a couple of times but never messed with any paste
Whats a good 5 or 8 port gigabit switch? Not familiar with which brands are generally considered to be good
all I know is that cisco and tp link are shit
Does anyone know how to search for older youtube videos. I'm trying to find a video for a funeral that is over 10 years old and having no luck.
>>54004943
I would also like to know as I currently am running MadVR under the suggestion of another anon and have not noticed anything.
>>54004871
It is a Z170 board, with ok-ish heatsinks and VRMs. Google for OC results by others who own it.
>>54004943
Google will tell you what MadVR does, but I want to suggest that if you're not interested in video quality autism and want something that "just works" you go with the MPV player.
MadVR can achieve better quality and is easier to customize than MPV, but if you're just going to use the player stock, I haven't ran into anything MPV had issues with.
>>54004943
Default is perfectly fine. MadVR is a different audio and video filter pack was pushed around the time anime started getting encoded with 10-bit colour instead of 8-bit (dont really understand it but meant better quality but less compatibility)
MadVR was touted to increase quality further but with a performance hit (not a problem unless on an old onboard.
Not really a noticeable change but some people like it,
>>54004989
Search for the name and limit the search date range.
>>54004974
Dust first, clear the fans and make sure nothing is stuck to heat pipes that clearly should not be there.
I would not recommend changing the paste really, there's little to gain and a lot to lose from it
>>54005009
>>54005020
Thanks for the information guys. I don't really care all that much about video quality as long as it doesn't look bad.
Guess it's just not for me then.
Out of curiosity though, why recommend mpv over mpc? It's not any more lightweight I think.
So based on this chart alone, what number should my cpu be on at least to continue playing games at max settings (or close to it) for at least 2 more years?
http://m.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html
>>54002441
>mfw the black fat guy at the back left morphs through a seat
>>54005063
That is a multi-threaded benchmark, so it useless for about 95% of games.

Practicing for a job interview for tomorrow. It's a support technician job for a city. A friend of a friend gave me a rundown of the kind of questions I may get asked, just want to run 2 of them by a few people.
- How would you go about imaging a PC -
The only problem I have with this question is I'm not sure what kind of software they use in a city environment. I would probably use Windows' built in backup tool to create an image. Could someone with experience tell me what kind of tools they generally use for this?
- What technology and process would you use to build images for multiple PCs simultaneously? -
This is the only other one I'm a little iffy about. If all of the PC's are the same spec, I could just clone an image onto xAmount-hdds and then go plug them in. But I'm guessing the PC's might vary in specs, so maybe my approach wouldn't really work.
>>54005060
I'd recommend MPV over MPC because "out of the box" it supports pretty much every file format you throw at it: video, audio, streams, you're covered.
And secondly, if you watch anything with subtitles, which a lot of people I know do heavily, the default desktop-resolution subtitles are simply a godsend compared to what you can achieve on MPC, as far as I'm aware, it has been a while since I used it.
And, a lot of the configuration can be as simple as a copy-paste into a file instead of digging through a crapload of GUI options.
I'm biased, of course, read some opinions on the contrary if you have doubts.
>>54005154
clonezilla is what they use at my school
>>54005154
windows sysprep to create the image, then WDS to deploy to multiple pcs.

>>54005183
I'll install mpv and give it a try then.
I think I remember though that there aren't really any menus so all of the settings are changes in some ini file or something?
That should be pretty quick and easy right?
>>54005104
If you dusted it off, and you made sure it's idle through software, then yeah just leave it alone.
Otherwise go clean it and make sure you don't have something using hardware acceleration in the background.
And if you messed with the thermal paste god save your soul, some people love doing this on GPU's, I highly advise against putting yourself through that.
>>54005190

The built-in backup will just create a backup, not a bootable image.
If you had more time it would have been useful to practice on something (make an image of your PC, deploy to another or a VM)
I assume the questioning is how you take an image of an existing machine complete with configuration and software.
Look up 'sysprep' in Windows and how to create a .wim file from a sysprepped image.
This file you can then import into a tool such as a network deployment server (Windows Deployment Services) or deploy manually using imageX (Vista/7 only, not sure what its replacement was)

how on earth do i just restore my computer to factory. system restore only lets me go back a day. if I insert a new copy of windows will it let me return to factory settings?

>>54005266
VLANs are a way of splitting the networking (systems plugged into ports 1-3 cant talk to those on 4-6, etc)
QoS is Quality of Service, prioritising some traffic over others such as streaming video/audio
PoE is Power over Ethernet, which as it sounds lets you both hook a device up to the network and power it from the same cat5 cable.
For your use, just ignore that lot. Get a simple metal switch from netgear, d-link, etc.
Brand differences are minimal until you start looking at those with additional features
>>54005283
If on Window 8/10 you can find an option to delete all files, applications and accounts, essentially returning the OS to a brand new state under the 'Recovery' section.
For Windows 7 you would need to boot from the installation DVD (F11, F12 or DEL when booting) and when presented with a list of drives to install to, just delete them all so it installs WIndows fresh.
You may also want to enter your BIOS (DEL or F2 when booting) and select the option to restore to default settings
>>54005222
You remember correctly and there is no installation, just put it somewhere and associate video files with it through Windows.
Yes, all configuration is done through the config file, but it has a graphical interface for all the basic video controls. It will "just work", you don't need to mess with the config at all.
Look up the manual for keyboard controls as well, for stuff like screenshots and moving subtitles around, playback speed, etc.

if you can't fix your Windows 8.1 then your best bet would be to backup your data and reinstall. Is your personal data on a separate partition?
With your live-cd you should be able to boot into a graphical environment, open a file manager and copy your data to an external hdd or a usb stick. Also, while you're at it, you can try out that version of Linux (what is the distribution called on your live cd?) and see if you somehow like it.

Hey guys. I'm learning javascript on uni, and I've run with two problems on my homework.
I've made an HTML page that is supposed to make calculations of a student final grade based on two grades, if any of the two text fields is left blank, an error message should appear. Pretty simple stuff, both JS and html pages are working.
But now I'm having two issues:
1 - There is a NaN (not a number) box appearing before the error message, which I assume is because my script is checking if the value of both text field is an int. Can I hide this NaN message? Avoid it?
2 - How do I use the .toFixed command in order to correct the number of decimals?
my script is looking like thisfunction validaForm()
{
var a=document.forms["ex2"]["a"].value;
if (a==null || a=="")
{
alert("Erro!");
return false;
}
var b=document.forms["ex2"]["b"].value;
if (b==null || b=="")
{
alert("Erro!");
return false;
}
}
function exercicio2()
{
var a=document.getElementById("a").value;
var b=document.getElementById("b").value;
alert((parseInt(a) * 0.8) + (parseInt(b) * 0.2))
}

a dedicated graphic card with a 1080p and HDMI out would make it much easier, but you still have to set up the software which can be tricky for less technical minded folks
you should be able to do this for under $100 if you plan it out.
Google has some HDMI streaming stick that probably does some of what you want. There are also other things on the market for this kind of stuff, but be sure to know what setup you want before getting them as they don't all work the same way.
If it is Netflix or some other big name then it will probably work. If it is movies off of your hard drive then read more carefully.

MX200 is I would guess bit more reliable because its MLC and not TLC nand used and also better write speeds when writing large files
850 evo is bit faster in read and has better warranty, its more popular generally
>I'm curious to know why you say that, even if I can't spare more.
the price difference is not that large, and its faster(nand can be access in paraller, so more nand chips, more performance), last longer and gives you freedom to do whatever you want

Now I have problems with it on Debian 8.3 (doing a light install). At boot up I got two errors message something about wireless hardware, but only when the usb is plugged in.

so is now the time to assemble a computer?
What's the scoop? whats the timeline?
>>54007641
Had the same question and after googling I came to the understanding that
Vim is very widely used as an editor, which is a very useful tool for many things. More powerful then simple editors like notepad, but has a steep learning curve.
Emacs is another editor, but it has grown into somethings so complex and powerful it can arguably replace a desktop environment or OS at a fraction of the resources. Much more powerful, but it is insane to learn.
Also Emacs has "evil mode" which mimics Vim, "org mode" which was made to organize task but has become a starting point for so much more, "w3m" yes even a basic web browser with image support running at near terminal level, and even has a competitive IDE plug in.
People have called me insane for trying to start with Emacs, but given how powerful it is I figure I would just start smashing my head into the wall now rather then later. On a side note Vim is has very centralized development compared to Emacs so I bet Vim will have more forking a decay in the next decade or two.
I'm trying to convert this BNF grammar into a series of recursive functions. So far I've got everything done correctly except for Aop, Expr, and Term.

So I fucked up quite bad.
I tried installing a modded BIOS (dunno kf you heard of ozmosis) on an asus motherboard, using AFUDOS. Initially I thought I was lucky enough that the system was booting just fine. After a few more tries, shit got stuck into the asus logo and nothing, absolutely nothing will work. It just restarts itself when it detects an USB drive with BIOS files, rather than load crashfree. Won't respond to any other keys except esc which supposedly disables this ozmosis thing, but it gets stuck on a red screen. Clearing CMOS does basically nothing.
So I'm accepting my defeat. Which motherboard would be cheap but decent for an i5 4460, DDR3 memory and some r9 280x?

Sure go ahead. You can probably get a decent Skylake build now. Don't wait for Zen unless you're poor or actually need MOAR COREZ for some reason. . GPU's you can wait I suppose, although the initial releases don't look that promising. I have a feeling waitfags are going to be waiting for some time. If you find a decent GPU for a good price buy it, who cares.

the menu you are in is TWRP, so you successfully installed that. If it's your first time seeing that (which it sounds like it is) then you do not have a custom rom yet, but you're just on rooted stock.
If you want a custom rom download it, reformat the device, flash the rom in twrp, and then clear dalvik cache/cache.

It uses a very common AMI BIOS. I'm confused to why this would happen without any notice. This time it didn't even bother to change the partition table, it was still 0x83 but mount found NTFS on it anyways. testdisk/wipefs/fsck did the trick for restoring it, but I'm still lost to what the cause is for it. I guess I can just unplug the drive whenever I need to use Windows, but I'd rather avoid that route.

The 1080p file will look sharper in slower scenes (but the color reproduction might not be as good as the 720p encode)
The 720p file will definitely look better in fast scenes and would have less ringing, banding and blocking.
>>54008313
You probably won't play any brand new AAA games on decent settings or framerates, you'd need a $1000 PC for that. You could play most games from two years ago or so pretty easily though.

Most 1080p/60Hz monitors are passable, there's enough competition. The only time when you have to worry about getting ripped off are upper end monitors because of lack of competition, 1440p/144Hz especially. Just look for 5 ms or less (1ms if you want to do competitive FPS or something) response time and read reviews for complaints of ghosting. Don't buy a 1080p over 23 in. or so it's probably a waste.

This happened to me, two weeks later it totally crashed and refused to boot. I thought the Hdd was dead but I was able to recover my files using a linux recovery USB. Theres two things that can cause 100% hdd usage for seemingly no reason:
- Corrupted windows.
- Bad sector develops on your hdd, Windows 8 and later automatically tries to move data from failing sectors onto safe parts of the Hdd, if it can't complete that then it keeps trying over and over, sticking you into a 100% hdd usage cycle.
Either way the solution is to backup all your data and reinstall windows from scratch. Don't worry about finding your license key, laptops save it and when you put in the windows USB/disc it will automatically fill the box. If you get other signs of a failing hdd like funny noises or continued 100% usage after reinstalling windows then you need to replace the hard drive
