Welcome to the QTDDTOT thread.
Let me start:
What heatsink and fan do you recommend for the FM2 socket?
Doing a budget build and would like your input.
Feel free to ask your stupid questions here instead of shitting up the board.
First.
I still have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti thats on the verge of dying.
I don't play much but wanted to try Witcher 3 other than that nothing to gpu intensive wow/kerbal space/minecraft/vic 5.
My budget is up to 300€ and I'd like to stay with nvidia. Should I wait for the new cards and which one should i take?
>>54048872
Buy one that meets the specification for Witcher 3 of course.
>>54048822
I paid 20 bucks for a mugen 2 a while ago and could recommend it for that price.
What software can I use to download MP3s from youtube? What I used is now infested with ads.
I'm thinking about falling for the skylake meme since my 2500k is startting to show it's age.
can you please talk me out of it so I can wait for zen?
How do I partition my drives on Linux so that i have disk x for OS, disk y for software and disk z for documents/pictures/videos etc.?
>>54048872
The new pascal cards are said to be launched in June 2016. However we don't know how good they are going to be and how much they are going to cost. If you cant wait go for something like the 970/960.
>>54048872
>I'd like to stay with nvidia
You either buy a high end card or go AMD.
Why? well just look at how Nvidia starts gimping their own cards. (970gtx vram)
I just fucked up for the first time in 12 years and have a bunch of malware/fucked up firefox/weirddesktop shit/the whole shabam because of a dodgy torrent. Its been so long since I fucked up that I don't even know what to do anymore.
I unplugged the network cable and just booted into safemode. Letting Windows Defender run a full scan. What do next? Besides kill myself for going full retard.
>>54048888
"Mugen 2" on amazon comes up with nothing but cheap iPad keyboards and phone cases
>>54048906
Let McAfee Stinger and maybe Malwarebytes run after that.
If you haven't already backup everything you'd like to keep.

Thanks. I will do these things. Maybe the person inheriting my gaming rig next week will appreciate it.
>>54048906
Backup documents and settings from safe mode then a clean install of your chosen operating system.
I'm using an 1st gen ipod touch for music at the moment, but a huge chunk of pixels in the screen just died. Still works fine, but I'm worried the whole screen might be fucked sooner or later.
I doubt there's an easy fix for this, but is there some sort of guide or recommendations list for MP3 players? Maybe ones I can import playlist from itunes with.
A fellow anon revealed to me that AMD 390 is a "bang for a buck" kinda deal, and I'm about to get one. My question is this:
>Gigabyte or Sapphire?
>>54049107
I like the windforce gigabyte cards
If I'm logged on to Facebook on a private tab, can it still track what I'm doing on the other tabs?
>>54049149
The site can see that its coming from the same IP address.
If you're alone on the IP then you're easy to identify, but if your connection is shared it's not as obvious.
Also if you have javascript allowed there are a number of identifying factors that can be detected.
>>54049072
I'm curious, why not just use your phone?
>>54049107
>>54049117
Looking here at a local price comparison site, I have three options at about the same price range:
>Gigabyte GV-R939WF2-8GD
>Gigabyte GV-R939G1 GAMING-8GD (OC to 1025MHz core clock from 1000)
>SAPPHIRE NITRO Radeon R9 390 8G with back plate
All three are practically priced the same.
>>54049149
Facebook generally doesn't track that kind of cross-site information. That's Google territory.
Many sites embed Google Analytics and other Google JavaScript into their websites, which allows google to see you go from site to site, keeping tabs on your browsing behavior.
It's pretty cool, really. I can see how many men/women, blacks, high-income, etc that visit my website.
>>54049107
He is right. But i got the msi 8g. Dont get it. Just dont go msi. I dont know the budget but check out the asus version. Asus builds have always been good to me. Idk if im always lucky but i would buy another asus
>>54049185
I despise using my phone for anything beyond serving as my alarm every morning. I get by without it most of the time.
>>54049187
The first one is windforce
>>54049185
Some people tend to watch over their phone's battery consumption, and can't "afford" to listen to music on it. So you get yourself an MP3 player and listen to music on it separately.
>>54049072
As far as I can tell, /g/ really likes the small Sansa players with Rockbox on them. I personally have the Sansa Clip+ and I'm quite fond of it, with vanilla firmware.
Is there a plugin (visualizer) for MusicBee that can show you lyrics while the song is playing?

Do hard drives with higher storage capacities have an increased risk/rate of failure?
>>54049241
yes. Specially the ones over 1TB
>>54049241
Capacity over 1TB means multiple platters, more platters means more heads which means more parts to fail.

>>54049281
Keep in mind a 2TB drive doesn't have double the chance to fail as a 1TB drive, so having more 1TB drives actually has a higher chance of a failure, but of course it will more limited in scope.
>>54049353

What does 4chan use to losslessly process all the uploaded images?$ jpegtran -copy all uploaded.jpg > test.jpgis next to it but it doesn't 100% match (tried both regular and mozjpeg's jpegtran)
Yes, 4chan modifies any and every jpeg you upload
>>54049552
It just strips metadata, reuploaded images will have matching md5
>>54049565
Thank goodness for this.
The amount of doxxing due to exif was insane.
>>54049565
been there, done that. No, it doesn't just strip metadata. It may or may not strip metadata (I guess just gps metadata). You experience matching md5sum because your image was already "optimized". Try with a not optimized image (e.g. a youtube video snapshot)
>>54049590
>>54049590
>Try with a not optimized image
not optimized images, without metadata (exiftool -all= image.jpg)

I'm not so excited about it. exif data on some boards have a reason to exist, reposting them on a different board inopportunely flattens any image info.
I blame mobile and youngsters. The amount of mobile users is insane, and the amount of personal data smartphone botnets collect is insane too. In this way youngsters are driven to believe that their images/photos do not hold any personal data, and they are gonna get fucked as soon as they post the same photo on a different site. The "reductio ad brainless faggots" is never an answer. I bet you own a mac.

Proof that 4chan doesn't "just strip metadata"
>>54049799
cmdphobia is real
>>54049809
It doesn't strip it on /p/
Try uploading something there to test
>>54049799

>>54049809
>The "reductio ad brainless faggots" is never an answer.
Yes, it is. 4chan is one of the few sites where people will consistently go out of their way to fuck with you if they get your dox.
I love 4chan, and it's nice being about to easily post OC without worrying whether some autist is going to send me pizzas or contact my employer.
>I bet you own a mac.
You'd lose money on that bet.
>>54049856
>It doesn't strip it on /p/
That's what I was suggesting: >>54049809
>exif data on some boards have a reason to exist, reposting them on a different board inopportunely flattens any image info.
Still I don't know the iter used outside of /p/, and I'm interested to reproduce this process.
>>54049866
People will dox themselves easier on any other site. The past generation was properly educated and instructed to remove exif data if it contained personal infos. This generations isn't. It's a fake sense of security. Even worse, this generation isn't instructed to remove exif data when using smartphone botnets.
It should at least be advertised that images are "sanitized" and/or manipulated. I may want to share an image "as-is" for whatever reason.
>>54049935
>The past generation was properly educated and instructed to remove exif data if it contained personal infos.
What DOB years are you referring to as 'the last generation'?
I have i3 start a CLI application when I start a session, but when I try to make it execute with arguments it flashes and disappears. How can I pass arguments to that application in my config?

>>54049944
I'd say people currently in the 14-24 age range are the "last generation" of 4chan faggots (mostly, mobile/tablet faggots)
People currently 25+ are most likely somewhat oldfags
People circa-30 (moot and chink-moot tier) are wizards

>grouping 10 years of users into one
I'm 26. I've been on 4chan probably about a decade now. I was young at the time, but I remember Snacks and /l/.
Not many people bothered to check exifs ever. The only people that did were likely people who got doxxed at some point and found out about exifs the hard way.
While hilarious in many cases, it's just not sane to leave identifying information wide open on all of the younger morons posting from their smartphone, especially not on 4chan.

Maybe I wasn't clear, let's try again:

It's a fake sense of security. Even worse, this generation isn't instructed to remove exif data when using smartphone botnets.

>grouping 10 years
I've just grouped an age range more likely to mindlessly and extensively use mobile botnets. Some in that age range had experience of mobile devices only (sadly). I've witnessed college freshmen taking comments on their surface with "hey it's my first laptop". People who never owned a PC, and gamed on console.
They do exist.
>>54050233
I agree that it should be noted somewhere on the site that images are sanitized, and why.
While it's easier to dox yourself elsewhere, 4chan is one of the few places where people actively and consistently attempt to actually cause harm to people with little provocation.
It is worth noting that 4chan is an imageboard, not an image hosting website, and not a file sharing website. There's no guarantee that your images aren't just compressed and stripped, and you'd be silly to make that assumption anyway.
>>54050294
>imageboard, not an image hosting website
Curious, I always thought and regarded imageboards as boards used to share images.
>There's no guarantee that your images aren't just compressed and stripped, and you'd be silly to make that assumption anyway.
It would be only silly to assume that an image isn't checked for embedded malware (something that happened in 4chan's long history) or embedded stuff (from RARs to sounds). Only really recently 4chan has started to badly recompress and "sanitize" images. Completely silently, I read no news about it. In the past, if something unwarranted was embedded, the image was rejected.
It's worth nothing to note that any other imageboard does not manipulate images. I distinctively remember /g/entoomen proud of fact that 4chan didn't manipulate images (contrary to e.g. imgur)

> disk x for OS, disk y for software and disk z for documents
you want one disk for os and software they are hard to seperate. Usually you'll want three partitions.
(efi boot)
/boot ~500MB
/ (os+programs) ~15gb
/home (your documents and stuff)
Is this a good, compatible build?
Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz 1151 Boxed Processor

Thermaltake TR2 Series 600 Watt ATX Power Supply
Case will be whatevers cheapest that will comfortably fit everything inside of it. I will be upgrading to 16 gb of RAM in about a month, 8 bg is just temporary. I will be using a copy of Windows 7 64 bit. I have a 500 gb 4800 hard drive that I will be using temporarily as well, as I cannot afford the hard drive right now. The SSD is to store my OS and other important files I use often on. Are all the parts compatible and is this a good build to play The Witcher 3 at 60 fps 1080p? After looking at the system requirements, I think it is. I have no interest in 4k gaming and just want to be able to play RPGs well enough without frame rate stutters and drops. If it matters, ill be shopping at microcenter in about 4 hours to pick up the parts.
I also have a mouse, 20" monitor, and keyboard that I will be using, so no need for that. Thanks my guys
Can i make windows 8 look like 1)classic windows (not just high visibility mode, but the proper theme with icons and all) or 2) windows 10 (since i like the theme but not windows 10 itself)
>>54050730
Windows 8 spies on you too. Install 10, do the needful and run Spybot Anti-Beacon. Or install Ubuntu. If you don't need DirectX 12, you probably don't need Windows at all.

Is it possible to install an OS on a pen drive and boot from it, on a regular basis?
Not like a Live OS, which is basically for testing out the OS before installing and doing small maintenance tasks.
I want to basically use my usb stick as an external hard disk, boot from the usb stick and have a fully functioning OS ready.
>>54050935

Unrelated, is there any performance improvement for gaming between a vishera 6 and 8 core? I may only get the 8 core for video encoding if not.
>>54050992
I think the only problem would be that some systems can't boot from USB and that it's pretty notably slower than a sata drive, not sure how much slower 3.0 or later is or if it's slower.

Is it possible to have a virtual box in windows and make windows use almost zero resources? Or is there some better to virtualise without using much resources outside of the virtual machine?
Dear /sqt/.
One of the games I bought it refusing to run properly, so I can play legally bought product. Maybe it is DRM, but whatever.
Game in question, tries to set up local server upon running and crash when it tries to connect with own creation. Logs list error as: "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION: The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access."
If something is blocking it, how can I check what exactly, without disabling everything and unlocking one by one? What Windows (7) service could interfere with that? Not V or Windows Firewall, I checked those in first place, ports usually used for Apache servers are opened too.

They need to design the OS to be booted from usb, it's not just copying over the iso like a DVD. There's a Linux live key creator that I've used and I'm almost certain there's something (probably from Microsoft) for Windows.

No downsides, yes but depends how you cracked it, if yo used DAZLoader you should have no problem.
What is the safest way to transfer and backup files from a probably infected machine? I want to transfer around 50 gigs of jpgs, pngs, webms, and mp4s from a probably compromised win7 machine to another one before I format. Using a flash drive could lead to spreading of the infection, correect? Or is there a safe way to use one that wouldn't lead to that? Also, I would prefer not to use a hosting service but will do so if that is the best option.
Why does this happen? There are clearly peers who could very well seed but no connection is ever made. The only person I noticed I DL from was the other people sitting at 33%
anybody knows how to bypass the 7 days data transfer lock on the 3ds?
I have a work laptop that i want to use for personal use.
I installed another OS to ensure whatever tracking software they installed couldn't track my on the other OS.
However, i'm paranoid as fuck so i want to go one step further: Keeping my data on a usk stick and mounting it every time i need to use the computer.
I need two things:
1. Some software that can encrypt the contents of the drive.
2. Some way to mount the drive as soon as i plug the drive in. (prompting for the passsword, obviously)
Would be awesome to have it work across platforms.

Few older BIOS implementation do not allow to boot from USB and/or complain if you install to a USB. PloP Boot Manager gloriously allowed me to boot from anything ~10 years ago (the project is still alive and rocking) - and to install to anything, even a toaster

Again, not trying to make anything flashy (admittedly because I don't have the skills to make anything good, but it doesn't seem necessary anyway).
Side question: what do I put as the href url for the home link? Tried leaving it blank but that just links to whatever page you're already on. Atm it's just "index.html" as you can see yourself.

I love it. Other anons might tell you that it's too bare or basic, but there is a certain feeling of quality about a good old html website without too much js bullshit and flashy eyecandy.

I have hundreds of gigabytes of video on my hard drive.
What's the best way to store it, if I want to minimize disk usage?
The best solution that I see is a ZFS partition with deduplication. It's fast, easy, but sadly doesn't give very much benefit.

I doubt any form of indirect compression will help.
Changing the video format, tweaking the bitrate etc etc will help loads.
i would suggest you look into that.
Best 27" computer monitor for ~250€?
>>54052039
Archive it.
>>54052040
Yeah, but that's lossy and way harder than dumb compression. I'll look into that when my ZFS plan inevitably fails.
>>54052018
http://pastebin.com/CiH4jHuD
>>54052122
lossy? yes. hard? if you want absolute optimal results, yes, kinda hard.
All i have experience in is when i had some videos that i took from my digicam, which were only a few minutes long yet were like 70 fucking MBs.
Some googling later and trying some randumb things i saw if i converted the video to the same format and used default settings, there was no visible loss in quality but the size came down to around 5-7 mb which is fucking HUGE.
So yeah, don't take my word for it. If you have videos that were taken from digicam/phones, then try my way, because digicams are slow and can't compress the videos in real time.
If you have videos downloaded from youtube or something, these are already compressed so going with ZFS will produce better results.

when you search by description instead of by name, just tell it what kind of program you're looking for, like for what you want, you'd tell the package manager to show you network monitoring software, or just network monitor
>>54052628
>I'd rather get a hard drive and an a dock for it. Cheaper and more practical.
A hard drive lasts ~6 years. No warranties beyond 5 years, no matter if you keep it disconnected. They are more sensible to temperature, humidity, magnetic fields, vibration, oxidation - if compared to tapes or m-disc. After 20 years your hard drive will likely be unreadable. I've tapes from the 90s which are perfectly fine.
It's cheaper only if your data has no value.
>>54054081
Of course. I think the card might be faulty even though you say it isn't. It bought it second hand. I'm stopping by a computer shop tomorrow to see if they can help me.

as tape readers/drives become scarcer you reach a point of diminishing returns on the cost vs. value of your data. and really if you're not an enterprise framework I don't see you having twenty year old data you need access to

Stay assured that after 20,40,60 years you'll be able find a compatible tape reader. Tape readers not going away.
Sure, if your data has no value, there's this "diminishing returns on the cost vs value". m-disc are a cheap alternative to enterprise-grade tape readers. CD readers will likely become scarcer but they will likely survive. You can get 5x100GB MDISCs for ~90$. The cost is comparable to an external hard drive and will outlive an external/docked/archived hard-drive
