Is there anything in here to help figure out why my display driver is crashing? The report is from OBS recording with VCE, the game was Dark Souls 3 but the display driver also crashed a lot when I played GTA5.
I thought it was a weak power supply but I put in a 750w and it still happens.
Why does DDR4 have higher CAS Latency than DDR3?

I cant figure out why my PC is so fucking useless when it comes to watch streams. Netflix, YT and twitch lag constantly even when Im using the lowest settings but if I use my phone I can watch anything in 1080p without a single hiccup. Same internet connection on both devices.
So im streaming stuff over my wlan from windows pc to android phone and images are taking a while and some videos too to load. Whats the possible cause for this?
W7. Hardly any of my thumbnails show. Ran ccleaner, combofix, other run of the mill stuff. Ran disk cleanup. Show icons instead of thumbnails is unchecked.
No clue what's actually governing this but I don't have permission to even delete thumbs.db so I'm guessing whatever actually creates them is at fault here.
Any ideas?
Google searches just give unanswered stuff or tell me to tick/untick that thumbnail box. Which I have.
>>54066443
What are you using to watch streams on your PC? If you're using just a web browser then that's probably the issue
>>54066460
Tried with Firefox and IE on my main PC and then even Safari on my laptop. Same deal. Livestreamer played through VLC and MPC also present the same issues.
I dropped my S6 Edge in the toilet sink and it eventually turned off because it said it was over heating.
What do?
>>54066490
optimize your wireless network. start by going on your mac and option+clicking the wifi button next to the battery life indicator at the top
then command+shift+4
take a screenshot of you channel and everything below that. you probably dont want to post your ip on 4chan but post your Tx rate and channel and noise in this thread for starters
go you have a netgear router? download their apps.
does your phone have wifi calling? is the call quality good?

Won't I get screwed by a shitty chinese ui or something with the xiaomi ones?
So apparently my motherboard broke and I need a new one.
I have a question, is there any way to save my files on the HDD, or will I have to reinstall? What if I get the exact same motherboard? It'd be reaaally important if it was possible in any way.
And can someone recommend me a model, I'm kind of out of date with this. I just want something sturdy and preferably cheap, not gonna overclock or upgrade. My previous one was the Asrock H87 Pro4. My specs is i5 4570, GTX 770 and some Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB RAM.
I'm kind of clueless so I'd really appreciate any replies

in this article he states that intel transmits 4 "chunks of data" per clock cycle and amd only transmits 2 "chunks of data" per clock cycle effectively meaning that intel processes twice as much data at the same operating frequency. now i couldnt help but notice that this article is over a decade old. does this still hold true? or is the guy who wrote this article completely incompetent?

Any recs for a motherboard? I'm guessing it has to be similar to my old one to do the swap without too big of a hassle? I guess I could get the asrock h87 pro4 again but it doesn't seem to be in online stores here in Germany anymore.
In a store I'm seeing these currently:
- ASRock Z87 Extreme3 Intel Z87 So.1150 Dual Channel
- ASRock Fatal1ty H97 Performance Intel H97 So.1150 Dual Channel DDR3 ATX Retail
- ASRock Z97 Pro4 Intel Z97 So.1150 Dual Channel DDR3
- ASRock Z87 Pro4 Intel Z87 So.1150 Dual Channel DDR3 ATX Retail
In the same price range, and some others. But I'm not really sure which ones better. Or if I should get an entirely different one. I'm guessing "mini" versions are subpar. I'm tending towards the last one in that list right now because it has the same name as my old one except Z87 instead H87 but I have no clue.

Can anyone tell me why, on the two occasions where I've attempted to replace my old aoc e2250swdak monitor (with a QNIX QX2710 and a BenQ GW2765HT, respectively) I've come across these issues:
What looks to be backlight bleeding in the corners of the screen
A yellowish tint (particularly affecting white backgrounds)
Some games (spelunky, for instance) look
like they have a filter over them, making the blacks really black and the whites really white; shit contrast (and what looks like major backlight bleed from the bottom of the screen).
I've had these same problems with both new monitors, and it's driving me insane. Only so much of it can be compensated for in the monitor's control panel.
I don't get why the unimpressive AOC is working more for me than what should be a major upgrade.
I can't remember if I've messed with some windows settings to adjust the current monitor's settings.
>>54067797
IPS monitors have backlight bleed, there is no getting away from it
Whats the best quality monitor style?
isp? led? lcd? ssd?
>>54067795
Try out a program called launchy. It is what I use to access all of my programs.
>>54067841
I guess I'll just stick with TN panels then.
I'm still not convinced the bleed should be obfuscating large parts of the screen (and potentially causing some of the other problems I'm having). That isn't normal, right? Otherwise, I don't know how anybody could bear using them, the image quality's that compromised.
where are people in >>>/g/desktop getting their cool CLI VU-meters from?
>>54067943
That isn't normal, no
>>54067966
I should note that it's only really bad against (mostly) black and backgrounds, like the steam client, and like Spelunky that has highly saturated colours everywhere.
In normal web browsing and games like DaSIII the effect is minimized.
Do you think this is a fault on my end (I don't see how), or should I be trying to get a refund for faulty goods?

She's finished and bankrupt. Most laptops can survive a little water spill but not soda spills since soda is more electrically conductive than water and has a higher chance of short circuiting something inside the laptop.
Take it to a repair shop if it's a really expensive laptop that she wants to keep else get a cheap new one.
Also it would be more economical to build her an AM1/FM2+ desktop build but her being a girl and whatnot, might not like a desktop.

I need some help with two MKV sets I have.
I have the BD's of Nisekoi season 1 and 2, the group is coalgirls, and the OP's and ED's are separate files.
Sure, it makes sense to save precious megabytes even though it's [current year], but I like to stream from my pc to my ps3 or this streaming player in another room, and split mkv's always have the hardest time coming in (for me).
I downloaded the most recent and tried MKVToolNix to append the OP's and ED's back together, but (for example, with the first episode) I get the warnings:
>The track number 1 from the file '[Coalgirls]_Nisekoi_OP1a_(1280x720_Blu-ray_FLAC)_[4CAEFA4D].mkv' can probably not be appended correctly to the track number 1 from the file '[Coalgirls]_Nisekoi_01_(1280x720_Blu-ray_FLAC)_[6400CDCC].mkv': The codec's private data does not match (lengths: 154 and 154). Please make sure that the resulting file plays correctly the whole time. The author of this program will probably not give support for playback issues with the resulting file.
>The track number 2 from the file '[Coalgirls]_Nisekoi_OP1a_(1280x720_Blu-ray_FLAC)_[4CAEFA4D].mkv' can probably not be appended correctly to the track number 2 from the file '[Coalgirls]_Nisekoi_01_(1280x720_Blu-ray_FLAC)_[6400CDCC].mkv': The codec's private data does not match (lengths: 2958 and 4211). Please make sure that the resulting file plays correctly the whole time. The author of this program will probably not give support for playback issues with the resulting file.
and when I move said file to another directory to test it, it only shows one of the videos, even though it's filesize is that of the episode and OP/ED combined.
Has anybody had any luck on windows merging these back together?

in most cases sudo will allow subsequent sudo usage without a password ONLY in the current tty/pty, by the same user, and for a short amount of time
this is a convinience, it allows you to run say; "sudo echo; sudo echo" while only typing the password once

I have a dual-chip smartphone. How can I create another Telegram account for the other SIM card?
>>54070620
on arch, for example, this is "wheel", as mentioned in /etc/sudoers as%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL

oh, and if you're unsure about groups;
view the groups your user is a member of;
groups
add a user to a group;usermod -aG wheel user
where "wheel" is the group to add, and "user" is the user you want the group added to
group membership typically need a logoff/logon to take effect completely, but you can enable a new membership in the current shell by running;newgrp wheel
(where "wheel" is the group you added with the above command, you need to add it beforehand otherwise this won't work)

How much RAM capacity does a mobo need to be futureproof for the next 5-7 years?
Am I safe with 32 GB, or should I go for 64 GB capacity?
(And maybe this is a moot question because the AM3+ and LGA1150 will be phased out in 2-3 when new architectures come out?)
>>54070910
>futureproof
Nothing is futureproof my friend. But yeah, unless you plan on playing video games and have multiple VM's open at the same time. You should be fine with 32 GB of ram.
>>54070910

I found debian's official info on sudo, very helpful on this matter
https://wiki.debian.org/sudo#Verifying_sudo_membership
>>54070718
sounds like Debian treats sudo as a group, so I don't need to deal with it, also only user on this unit, but still good to know
now I got to either change my user password to something more secure or get it to ask for a sudo password, cause right now having the password of "password" to log in and use sudo is not my idea of security.
Think I can do that by adding a line to the sudo user list file with the "visudo" command I was messing with in an earlier attempt to figure this out. If not I can always reinstall and give myself a better password

Can you create a cluster from two desktops for gaming?

Yes you can make. Cluster but two computers (your schools library) would make awful cod machines mainly due to latency and software and hardware support
For some reason my audio stopped working after i restarted the system (arch). I tried playing out from youtube videos, twitch streams and mkv's using mpv.
Before the restart i was watching a twitch stream with working audio and messing around with rc.xml file from openbox which is not related to audio.
I checked and all channels in alsamixer are unmuted.

My PC has been acting fucky, sometimes my GPU works other times it doesn't. I've tried different components, I've used different monitors, still I get this issue. When I launch games (it doesn't matter what, I've been able to play a game for hours without a hitch and than suddenly the same game will crash as soon as the splash cards pass and I'm in the main menu) they crash. I thought it was my GPU but I ran furmark for 15 minutes without an issue or artifacts, could my pcie slot have an issue with power delivery or something?
>>54071360
It still will have latency issues.
Also iant the 8350 supposedly good for hyper threading

I have an acer gn246hl monitor and whenever I have a full screen application with vsync enabled it automatically enters 3d mode, dimming the screen and giving it a very light red tinge.
I've tried everything, disabled 3d drivers, uninstalling 3d drivers. I thought the monitor would have a setting in the menus to disable 3d mode but it doesn't.
This affects most videogames I have, and sometimes VLC.
Any help would be appreciated.

Can you overclock mobos that aren't "officially" overclockable? Like not Z-edition.
>>54072137
Well there are plenty of motherboards that are not necessarily marketed as an overclocking board but still allow you access to voltage and multipliers. Most decent consumer boards (i.e. not something that came in a prebuilt system) that I have used allow this.
Some CPUs also have their multiplier locked, which will prevent you from overclocking them regardless of what motherboard you have, so be aware of this as well.

Should I get rid of TouchWiz on the S4? what should I switch to (and how, I've attempted rooting via motochopper only to get PIE errors, and every flashing attempt only wiped the phone). I followed the guide on Cyanogenmod's wiki for my carrier and all, so I know I didn't screw up there. Everything was extracted. Tried both methods, motochopper and running pwn via terminal emulator. Terminal Emulator would simply state I didn't have permission to do it (as I was trying to acquire root) and motochopper would give "error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported"

Anything you can do over SATA you can do over eSATA, because eSATA *is* SATA, just with a different shaped plug.
Anything to do with updating firmwares can result in a brick, notably if you lose power at just the wrong moment.

tldr; does anyone know of good robust automation software that is fully featured for batch operations? extra points if it uses relevant languages so I don't waste my time learning some obscure language to write the scripts
>>54073964
eSATA is just a different connector and batter shielding, the protocol isn't any different than regular SATA.

I think it's on the level of GTX 750 Tii, which is the cheapest nvidia of this gen.

Yes, Home Premium artificially limits you to 16 GB. Go up to Ultimate to get around this, it goes up to 192 GB.
But, what do you need more than 16 GB for? Yes, there are legit reasons, but 99% of the time on here it's just somebody looking to flush money down the toilet to wave their e-peen around and then bitch because their hiberfile is now taking up most of their SSD.
why do I have to do ./ infront
bash is shit
>>54074236
It's not bash.
Is it even possible to create a fake Facebook profile anymore?
>>54074236
Bash interprets anything starting with a dash as an option and not as a filename. Put it in quotes
>>54074236
Alternately you can sayrm -- -ffast-math.mht. Anything starting with a - is treated as a command line argument by rm. This is rm doing it, not bash, but most *nix utilities do this. You can get around that either by adding ./ like you did to make - no longer the first character, or you can do the -- thing I demonstrated. -- tells it that everything after this is a filename even if it starts with a dash.
I thought this was going to be a post about why you have to put ./ in front of executables that are in the current dir while in cmd.exe you don't. To enable that, add . to your PATH variable.
>>54074285
WHy do you think that it's bash. Here we're talking about rm, not bash.
>>54074285
The quotes, they do nothing. Bash removes the quotes and uses them to let you have a command line arg with a space inside it. You can \escape \the \quotes if you really want to pass them to rm, but then rm will take it you want to remove a file that has \" characters in its name.
