Will maintenance tools such as CCleaner or Wise Registry Cleaner actually enhance my PC's performance, or will they just fuck my registries up? My PC is old but it runs fine, I don't fill it with random shit and run MBAM once a month or so. Will running these tools help at all?

Could a monitor be damaged if the gamma is set too high?
I know this is stupid (hence why I'm posting here)
let's say that 2D animations on windows, linux, whatever for the desktop and web browsers with smooth scrolling and the like are good like 90% of the time, then they stutter at random times. Pretty much like getting random heavy frame drops at times.
I don't discard it could be my GPU, but do you think RAM would have anything to do with it as well? I'm saying this because while my ram has an XMP profile and my CPU supports it, the motherboard only detects it but doesn't apply it/doesn't have an option to enable the XMP profile. I tried setting the timings manually and sure enough Windows reports those correctly but there hasn't been much of a change.

Point it to the same folder you were downloading the file before
Profit! The client should automatically check the folder and resume the download where you left it.

My mouse clicks don't irritate it at all. However, my left ear is more fucked up than my right ear. Furthermore, my tinnitus is not a lie and far worse in my left ear than right ear. Yeah, tinnitus sucks. Had it all my life so I'm glad it's at least not my fault.

Also, now that you mention it, maybe my mouse is a bit loud. At least, it probably would be without my white noise machines, which I will soon start turning off more often.
Do you have the knowledge to recommend me a quiet mouse?
how often do the majority of people upgrade GPU's? I built my computer in October 2015, with a gtx 960. I have plenty of money in savings. I only really care about 1080p gaming though, so i thought the 960 was a good buy, and it was, but... it's kind of weak. Witcher 3 is a game I really enjoy, and the 960 only does "ok" on it.
Would it be a bad idea to upgrade after only 1 year when Black Friday rolls around? Is it wasteful when my current setup already runs the most demanding game on the market? I'm not even a graphics whore, I just want that 60 fps lock.
>>54220332
p-pls ;w;
>>54220790
Literally upgrade if you feel like it
>>54220790
How the hell do you not get smooth 60 on Witcher 3? Have you overclocked it? GTX 960 is great for overclocking in my experience. Sute it won't run +60 or smooth 60 on ultra but most on high and it's smooth.

i don't think you understand
>>54219284
I'm dual booting osx and debian on a macbook pro 3.1 with rEFIt.
I followed a few tutorials, debian & rEFIt documentation + random articles, that stressed syncing the partition tables for x reason.
The rEFIt MBR GPT sync menu says 'will not touch' and there was an 'Unknown' value where the main linux partition should be. There were five partitions in both category. Both OS could boot just fine but It bothered me that I was missing something.
During a previous install I ran gptsync in a terminal basically because, "fuck it, what does this do." It seems to make the GPT list one partition while the MBR still lists five with the same 'Unknown' on the linux partition after the sync. In other words "I don't get it, what did I do."
I don't understand the significance of the 'will not touch'/'Unknown' error and I don't really get what the sync is to begin with. Is the sync really important /g/sqt/? things seem to run fine.
thanks
>>54220929
>I also wonder if my CPU is a bottleneck though, fx 8350 at stock settings.
Nah, it shoudln't bottleneck anything under 980. Overclock it m8, should give about 10 fps.
>>54220910
I see. Makes sense. Thanks again. Can I open up my mouse, though? I see no screws on it. Oh well the keyboard is more important right now anyway.
>>54220924
I fucked up my ears by pulling on them all the time. (just a nervous habit I thought nothing of) So those would just prolong my condition.

For some reason you want to split your data from your 2 ips you assign to the router for wtf ever reason. If it dosent have a way to pick the interface within the program,or pick the port.
There is nothing you can do.
>traffic differently
Why? Its the same board its not like you have a vpn on one of them and yod you want to throw trafic at it.
How do you roughly estimate the quality of an x265 file based on its size? For instance, is a 1Gb file going to be YiFY quality or will it be equivalent to about 3Gb x264 or something else?

traffic shaping, i have one of them set to be lower priority on the router, so i can run torrents and other downloads via that address without them slowing other things down

How the fuck do you figure out whether a Linux command for something you want to do exists or not, and how it is called?

>>54221086
>>54221055
You're right, but for example if a x264 is 3 gb or 12 gb I can more or less expect a certain quality threshold even if it's approximate. Is there such a rule of thumb for the new standard?

Distros from distrowatch could be spyware? Does ubuntu spy on you?
>>54221428
they could?
Ubuntu actually does spy on you and sends statistics to amazon.
>>54221428
Can they? I usually download straight from the distro's homepage if it's available; hell I didn't even know you could directly download them from Distrowatch.
>Does ubuntu spy on you?
See >>54221522
Last time I used Ubuntu, it was pretty up-front about sending stats about you to Amazon, not sure if Canonical decided to hush-hush it for 16.
>>54221522
you got no clue what your talking about don't you ?
>>54221428
What ubuntu does basically :
whenever you type something on the dash, they send it to their servers (canonical's servers) and they'll querrry amazon so they can show you products from amazon related to your search. Basically they use their servers as a proxy so amazon can't spy on you as they want.
That can be disabled and uninstalled.
That thing is not a question of botnet as windows 10 , but it's more about ethic.

What's the point of adding the linux command line to windows?
guy having the 0% gpu usage and framerate drops here, turns out my CPU was thermal throttling
>>54221638
It's not just bash.
It's the actual Ubuntu userspace embedded into Windows 10.
Which means you can fully run Ubuntu binaries, as well as interact with the filesystem using Bash.
Which means you can literally run Linux applications in Windows.
>>54221105
>Is the swap partition a meme?
I never used it, and will never need swap in my life probably.
Now some people might need swap, if they want to hibernate, or if they don't have enought RAM on their system.
if you got less than 4GB RAM, your swap should be the double of it
Else if your ram is 4GB or more, it should equal your RAM.
>>54221708
is this a step towards windows being open source or a step towards linux becoming kill
>>54221638
It's bascially for devs who only use linux because of gcc and handy commandline stuff. M$ is hoping to pull them back totally into the windows.
>>54221740
#2 - but the people who actually use linux because of FOSS and customizability obviously won't be going back to windows anytime soon.
>>54221638
The difference in performance and security between linux and windows start to grow more and more every years, and the support of linux start to be verry important (amd open sourcing their drivers, nvidia providing good drivers, AAA games ported to linux...).
With all the stuff that happened, microsoft have to say they are nice, like open source, and aren't evil. It's just marketing strategy.

Neither.
Microsoft is actually embracing Linux as a platform to sell their Azure services on. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is now deployable via Azure.
Any reasonable analysis suggests that Microsoft is NOT trying to get rid of Linux. They are simply planning to monetize Linux-based cloud services.

Is there any fucking way to fucking turn OFF the fucking option in foobar so it doesn't motherfucking scan my entire fucking library at startup and fucking MURDER my drives?

>>54222892
DVI is being phased out. The one DVI port your GPU has is a DVI-I port, kept there because it carries both a digital and an analog (VGA) video signal.

What the fuck? I don't have any other devices plugged in that might affect this. What can I do to make it actually boot from the disc drive?
Is there a way I can move my "git signing" from my old computer, to my new one? I've just been using git commit, and I wonder if there's a file or something I need to drag over to my new one to retain the same signature
as you can tell by my question, I'm relatively new to this

Whats a good program for wifi info/monitoring on W7 x64?
Also I bought a TP-Link TL-WN722N usb wifi card and its barely picking more APs than my laptops built in card, I knew theyre mediocre but I expected more of it, is it normal its shit?

Anyone?
I think it's a quick reply. I'm just mostly /g/ illiterate and need an answer please.
>>54223163
make sure it has power cable connected properly and it is working, try another sata cable, port, if that does not work, have it worked before? perhaps you need to short some jumper, read about it in manual, if not it might be it is just incompatible, but that would be pretty unusual case, I guess; gl hf

Okay thanks. I wanted to get a cheap server cpu because I wanna run a few servers and virtual machines while doing some gaymin on the side. I'm kinda new to the whole server thing, so I was wondering if a server processor like the amd opteron would have worse performance than mainstream cpus.

I read their list of blocked ports and none of the ones I want to use are on their blocked list.

Yes its probably dead, depending on the age and model there might be a minuscule chance of recovering whatever was in the disk with a logic board swap but theyre a pain in the ass, even if you get the exact same one as your specific model.

What audio device are you using?
Play with the settings or use different software.
I mean, I had a similar issue but in a widely different environment.
>>54223094
plug them in and see what happens.
>>54223173
AFAIK you need to set the boot device priority, and then set the boot priority for the drives connected to that device separately. Devices as in USB controller, SATA controller etc.
Haven't actually looked into it though I just wank around in the bios until shit work

Anyone can help me with this?

I'm using a sata hdd and an ide disc drive, there aren't any other devices in the computer or a slave attached to the ide cable. I've been able to boot from the disc drive just from setting it as the 1st device before in the past, and it was working just a second ago so I'm not sure why it decided to stop working. Looks like everything is fully plugged in too so it can't be that.
Should I reinstall graphics card drivers when I get a new monitor?
>>54223237
Wireshark? What do you mean by info/monitoring?
>>54223422
No, I mean mostly signal strenght, mac adresses and other details. Free btw.
>>54223403
Make sure your boot disc is working then.
Also check that the disc is not too new for the drive, not all drives support DVD-RW.
>>54223414
Nope.

im having issues troubleshooting some BSOD related problems.
basically ive been getting a lot of BSODS lately on windows 7. i have not update any drivers appart from my graphicsdriver but i know it isnt the issue. since the card works fine in other pcs with the same driver versions.
my main issue is when the BSOD occurs. the memory dump that occurs. isnt being created on my hard drive so i can not identify the culprit. bsod messages very a lot too and never are the same. i had everything from out of bounds memory to badly executed code.
i ran memtest 86+ on each individual ram stick for 2 hours and nothing came ap so it isnt the ram.
temps of both graphicscard and cpu are always pretty cool. (i5 3570k idle ~35°C load ~60°C, 760gtx 2gb idle ~17°C load ~35-40°C)
i assume it might be an issue with the pagefile. but that is available and managed by the system, i never even touched it. hard drives are all healthy and fragmentation is below 5% for all of them.
it be great if someone could help me out as to why no crash dumps are being created.
i use bluescreenview to check crash dump files btw.

What's strange is that it was working a second ago. I was in the process of installing Windows like not even 15 minutes ago, but something happened and I had to exit out, restart, and try again. But now it's refusing to work.
I already have a T420 and I'm happy with it but it is quite heavy.
I want to get something ultra portable, like a 10-11" netbook.
What's the lowest I can go in terms of specs that lets me use a debloated W7 install?
>>54223557
Probably something with a c2d and 1GB of ram.
If you upgrade a pirated Win7 to Win10 (which I've done), does it generate a genuine key that you can use to reinstall Win10 later?
I had the Twitter account of my blog blocked on the day it was created. Is it normal to happen on Twitter? I was required to give a cellphone number in order to unblock the account. But I don't wanted to give telephone numbers, so I'm sad.

The only screen recording software is simplescreenrecorder.
audio device, as in are you using your GPU's HDMI audio out or the on-board realkek chip.
I had a similarly sounding problem when using the HDMI audio out when my GPU wasn't automatically set to use message signaled interrupions so the audio device and GPU on the same PCIe slot kept interrupting each other.
Happened on a virtual machine though.

Any number of websites accessed through your phone's browser.
This is a pretty common question, but I've been thinking on it for a while now and wanted some feedback:
I wanted to transfer to my university with the friends I made at my community college and get into a software engineering/related computer focused field, but for a multitude of (mostly financial) reasons graduated a few months ago with a humanities degree. I've got a pretty nice but odd job right now where I do minor work for an insurance company with SQL - inner joins and accessing data is the extent of that, data entry, and in-house around-the-office tech support which is mainly troubleshooting Excel spreadsheet formatting and coding.
I wouldn't mind pursuing IT as a career path at this point, so my question is this: would I benefit more from studying for and getting certs or going back to school for IT? If it matters I've got light beginner's understanding of Java and I did a crash course with Learn Python the Hard Way and CodeAcademy's HTML/CSS classes, all of that self-taught, plus two 100 level CS courses; one at my CC and one at university.

by esd i assume you mean shorts or electronic discharges.
as far as i know nothing of the sort is happening.
i take great care of my pc and remove dust every month.
it is a possibilty though.
again. if i had crashdumps that could also tell me about malfuncitoning hardware.
but the memory dump option is enabled in my system. it just doesnt create them for some reason.
when the bsod happens it does prompt a progress up to 100% saying that its dumping physical memory. ive also set it up to automatically restart once the dump is finished.
ive tried both the kernel dump and minidump options but both dont seem to creat a dump file.
pic related.
Integrated graphics question:
Would an i5 6500 with 3.2 Ghz clock (3.6 Ghz turbo single core), 1050 Mhz graphics turbo and 6MB cache run games better than an i3 6320 with 3.9 Ghz clock (no turbo), with 1150 Mhz graphics turbo and 4MB cache?
Assuming games aren't heavily optimized for four cores. Would the higher CPU/GPU clock on the i3 make a difference despite lower cache?

This is more of an electronic than stupid question. Can rerouting motherboard traces through cables in a laptops motherboard cause any sort of interference? To explain I had to rewire my screens led backlight traces, its a 12v line, pretty sure cable shielding exists for a reason so I wonder what are the chances of something going bad.
What's the best software for sharing files with 4-5 people? Dropbox is giving us troubles.
It is for a small business, so I'd apreciate something free.

Take a RAM stick out and see if the problems disappear.
Airflow can create static as well, that's why you shouldn't wacuum a pc but instead use short bursts of canned or compressed air.
>>54223865
That's it then, your gyroscope is not gyroscope enough.
>>54223871
Some motherboard traces are drawn to be of certain length for timing reasons. Hope that the traces you're rerouting weren't.
Interference I don't know about, but I don't think the motherboard has any sort of shielding to it either so it should be fine in that regard.

I'm on W8.1 and it has this "function" where you can click and drag nothing from the corner into whatever and it splits my fucking desktop in half. Worst thing is that whenever I misclick and it happens I have to resize every single fucking window because they stay squished after going back to normal.
Is there any way to stop this from happening?

I would use ftp if my mates weren't completely tech illiterate.
They almost burn me for heresy for wanting to use something else instead of Dropbox.

Yes, classicshell does it.
Man, once you tweak 8 a bit its the best os imo. Just the lack of themes is what sucks
>>54224025
syncthing is pretty easy to use, works pretty much like dropbox, only it's;
- foss
- decentralized (peer-to-peer transfers, no accounts, automatic peer discovery)
- no limits (as you're not using a third party server for storage)
- works in a LAN-only environment (as well as over the internet, of course)
>>54224025
>I would use ftp if my mates weren't completely tech illiterate.
What about a network drive? I assume you've already got backups.
>>54224015
Look at a more detailed spec sheet of the thing to make sure then.
You can look into ways to report it correctly, but I don't know anything about that...
>>54224022
Right click on the taskbar and click properties, there should be related settings there.
You can disable the new navigation shit with classic shell or start8, iirc.

not him, but ftp and similar have the disadvantage of requiring a network connection to access the data, so you can't see/edit things unless you're connected, or, it encourages people to make unmanaged copies, which may become out of sync

True. We're all connected to a network drive at my workplace and it works out for us for modifying documents on the fly but we're also a 100+ person company, not anon and his squad.

yea, a central file server is a better choice in certain situations, like working with large datasets, which are only accessed internally
but for syncing up a small amount of data between whatever, whenever, with minimal overhead, you can skip the need for any server and just do it p2p, with each client storing the dataset locally

if you fuck up one, you can boot with the other
