Can someone recommend me a cheap but good gamepad for my oneplus one for emulating mostly snes, gba and ps games? Preferably one that adds buttons on both sides of the phone, rather than below, if they exist. Or any other things to do with it that doesn't require a sim card.

Anyone know much about electrical, or should I make a standalone thread?
If I have a battery bank that outputs 12V/4A, how would that handle a laptop whose aging battery supplies 11.1V/5.6A?
Now let's say I have a solar cell that outputs 2.5A at best. Would it be smart to plug that into the battery bank while charging the laptop? This will be all with conditioned DC power cables, pretty sure.
I want to get into Linux mostly to get ready for a future in the industry, what's the most commonly used distro in major companies.

I'm not going to do this, I'm just curious if it's possible. Some of the rMBPs (late 2013 at least) have SSDs that are installed in a PCIe 2.0 slot. If you removed the SSD and booted off an external drive, could you use an adapter like pic related to install a GPU on the rMBP through the slot the SSD used to be installed on? Obviously you'd need a PSU connected to the GPU. If that did work, would the video display on the laptop screen or would you need to connect the GPU to an external monitor in order to utilize the GPU? And obviously I'm assuming this is using Windows on the macbook.

What chipset should I be looking for if I'm not going to overclock?
>>54230134
>>54229146
Will do. Start by telling us what you want to use it for.
>CPU
is fine.
>HSF (CPU Cooler)
The 212 EVO is smaller, cheaper, and will cool better, but is a tiny bit louder. You're better off buying it. Read the /g/ sticky and Logical Increments, obviously, if you haven't already.
>MoBo
You're pissing like fifty extra dollars away by getting a board that's meant for heavy CPU overclocking. If you don't know what I mean by that, go back to LogInc and the sticky.
>RAM
You can probably get 2400DDR4 RAM for a bit cheaper, but that brand is fine.
>Storage
Everyone will tell you to get a SSD, either instead of or along with your HDD, if it's in your budget. They're obnoxiously fast. The Samsung 850 EVO 250GB drive is one of the better deals for price/performance ratio.
>GPU (Video Card)
If you're not planning to game at 60fps1080p, that build probably won't need anything stronger than, say, a 750ti. Otherwise your choice is fine.
>Case
Any case that fits your parts is fine.
>PSU
Probably decent but not great. Semi-modular sounds like crap - either pay for full modularity or save on a non-modular unit. Use Outervision's PSU Calculator to see if you can't find something better.
>Monitor
Is actually really good, but no matter how stupid you are, Amazon isn't a company that deserves your hard-earned money.
>Why?
Because they're shit, that's why. Search around a bit more. Dell, Asus, and Acer are far and away the most reliable distributors for 21.5- and 23-inch monitors.
In conclusion, read the goddamn sticky.

Not sure what you're trying to connect to what, or why the fuck you'd consider using VGA.
There is no VGA to DVI-D adapter unless it's an active converter box. If it's a passive adapter, it's going to be either DVI-A or a proprietary thing for one specific video card designed to output the one signal over the other jack.
Go with a plain DVI-D cable if you can.

You need to format it to something that's easily supported on both Windows and Linux. That would be FAT. But there's a file size limit.
Personally, I would format your drive to ext4 (or brtfsehtosue or whatever you want) then see if there's a utility for Windows. IIRC there's one on Windows for ext3/4 but you can't use Windows explorer, you have to drag/drop through the utility.
There could be a better answer to this though. I don't know why Linux supports NTFS in a werid way. Some distros are better about this than others.

Is it better to leave it plugged in when you have an outlet nearby ? It's a model from last year.

Yeah, Li-ion/poly can only go through so many cycles. Although, it's best if your notebook can limit the charge so it's not sitting at 100% all the time. I set mine to 90%.
>>54233296
linux doesn't have a limit option, does it?
outta in the space of the www is a linux os which hosts apache servers etc for SQLi training .... I don't know the name, any halp?

Or so it says on Superuser. You got a ThinkPad?
>>54233325
nope, dell latitude
>>54233316
can you rephrase the question ? i have no idea what you're talking about.
>>54229298
even if the psu is weak it should boot up and it will shit itself only when the gpu is actually being used.
So, I'm an idiot and while preparing an old laptop to sell on eBay, I used DBAN wrong and wiped completely everything. I was planning on using the recovery partition to re-install Windows 7 after deleting my data.
I'm about to re-install W7 from a .iso since I still have a legit key and everything, but is there a market for selling completely wiped laptops? Just wondering if maybe it would be more convenient if I sold a completely fresh laptop with no OS on it to someone before I go ahead and go through the trouble of re-installing all the drivers and shit.
>>54233349
there exists a linux OS where you can train your SQLi (SQL Injection) skills. It's not any kali or backtrack OS it's just a OS which hosts apache servers with this training exercises...
>>54233325
ah shit, there is no solution for dell laptops. So I have to unplug it on a regular basis to keep my battery from screwing up. Shit.
>>54233330
>>54233395
Just saw you post, not gonna rewrite this. Godspeed.
Sorry, senpai, I think you're out of luck. This is a real low level thing that talks to the battery firmware. I know on ThinkPads, the charge thresholds stick on the battery until it's overwritten. On my Samsung, there's a switch for it in Windows and in the BIOS screen. Try checking there.
>>54233395
So I will have to keep it between 40 and 80% manually. That's okay I guess.
>>54233388
you talking about Damn Vulnerable Linux ?
>>54233374
Many people wouldn't really care, some might be suspicious that it was broken, normies wouldn't want to bother with installing windows.
>>54233417
If it's not in the BIOS, you can try one last hailmary and dualboot Windows. My guess is that if it's like the ThinkPads, the battery will remember the charge Thresholds after you boot into Linux.
>>54233455
I think dell has a battery software for windows. I already have win 7 installed so I can try that later. I'll also check out the bios, dell allows many configurations with their latitude line.. So you are saying that, when I activate the treshold in windows, this will also affect linux because the battery remembers it?
(I honestly expected that modern laptops have a switch which cuts of the battery once it's charged)
Can I make a burrito with just cheese and rice?
>>54233484
Right. But like they said, it all depends on how the manufacturer decided to implement it.
My Samsung kept the Threshold when I replaced its battery. Here the decision seems to be stored on the motherboard.
My ThinkPad'll apply it to whatever battery I plug it into and it stuck after I reformatted and didn't install Lenovo Power manager. In this case, it's on the battery.
Good luck, anon. Reply back here when you get around to it. I'll add it to my mental notepad.
>>54233511
Thanks anon, I'll give it a try.
>>54233360
But it wont turn on with the GPU attached like no power would get into it. If its a dead GPU it would still turn on but with black screen.

How come my CPU sometimes wildly changes in temperature even when the ambient temperature is the same? Like one day it will be around 45-50 degrees all day long and then the next day it is in the low 30s... Dafuq is this?

Some boards like to run everything at full power on checkup. If the wall can't handle that, that could be the issue.
>>54233623
My PSU has been causing loud fans before tho.
Last time i used it with my GPU it was still working fine, shut it down properly then when i open it again it wont do.

Why is my mouse movement slightly jerky? Not like, really weird and off, but just slightly choppy so that getting headshots in games is a pain.
It's a Logitech G700s.
>>54234036
sounds like sensitivity cranked up high enough in that the smallest possible movement of the mouse is translated into multiple pixels.
If you're using a low DPI setting on the mouse and a high pointer speed in windows, stop that.
Looking for a way to force the old text-based CAPTCHAs outside of 4chan. I remember seeing a thread a long while ago about how spoofing your useragent could result in the text-based captchas. Anyone know what string I could enter for this? Or another way to force old captchas on other websites?

Hi /sqt/, need help on desktop build configuration. Currently have and old (c2d E8200, nvidia 9600gt, 2gb RAM) conf.
The plan is to upgrade so I can run Visual Studio better, and smoother usage overall.
Right now its a hog if i run VS, and I have to shut down every other process running for more memory. Also ill be using two monitors. (nothing much just two 1280x1024 monitors).
My budget is kinda tight. Here is the current build I had in mind.
>>54233499
Cook rice, heat the wraps with cheese on top until it melts a bit, add rice and wrap. Done.
>>54234780
Make sure you get a motherboard that supports overclocking
I'd do away with the new GPU and just carry over the old one
>>54234780
A skylake igpu is as good as that 240.
500w is far more than you need.
That case is pretty pricey for such a destitute build.
>>54234904
The 9600gt has been running for 7 years now. Speccy reports 64C temperature but it isnt going up or down for 5 mins even if i go 1080p YouTube video. Could be the sensor is broken?
>>54234976
But I need the support for two monitors, would that be achivable with just the igpu?
>>54235056
Sounds like the sensor might be busted yeah, try checking with other programs though
Skylake igpu supports 3 displays

>>54235120
Who are you quoting?
>>54235091
I edited the build. Since I ditched the GPU, might as well pick a better CPU. I hope 350W is enough.
My pc is stuck in a boot loop
It says 'we couldn't complete updates, undoing changes'
However, even if I start it in safe mode, i am still reverted back to this undoing changes page.

Is there a way in Atom's vim-mode plugin to bind return-to-normal-mode to a double tap of a normal key in insert mode?
I tried:'atom-text-editor.vim-mode:not(.normal-mode)':
'q q': 'vim-mode:activate-normal-mode'
but it doesn't work.
>>54235366
350 should be fine for that build, but if you think you might end up wanting to drop a more powerful GPU in the foreseeable future there you might consider going back to 500 watts as you'll save money in the long run. If not then stick with the 350.
>>54234061
That works much better now. Thank you anon.
I need a new mouse. I have had the g700 for almost 5 years and it is starting to fuck up. What is a recommended mouse? Would prefer if it had atleast 5 buttons.
>>54235475

There used to be a goddamn mouse general in here, where'd that shit go?
HTML/CSS question:
I have a search text input box with a fixed position in the lower right corner. When it gets autofocused on page load, the page scrolls down to the bottom. How would I make the page start scrolled up, considering the input box is fixed to the screen anyway?

If you are still here. There was an option in the BIOS of my dell latitude e5450 where I was able to set the power management on "mainly AC usage". There was also an option to set the treshhold to a custom value (min and max). I now chose the AC option, ,cheers.
Why do certain text editors delete line breaks when I edit my notes file with them? Can I fix it by changing encoding or something?
>>54235731
What is likely actually happening is that whatever editor you normally use expect CRLF line endings, and the other text editors you are using are automatically converting the line endings to just LF endings.
I'm considering upgrading my CPU/mobo because I feel like one of the two is most likely damaged and their performance is lacking
I waited for the skylake CPU's to come out to have more choice and maybe get a drop in price of the older CPUs. However it seems that going with the 6600K over the 4690k would require me to buy a far more expensive motherboard (~150 compared to the 1150 socket's ~50) and new ram, which I don't mind too much as it's starting to get a bit too little as well and a 2x4GB set is around the same price for DDR3 & DDR4
Would you agree with logicalincrement's decision to go with the skylake lineup to have access to the DDR4 ram and better CPU if it means spending another 10-20 extra on the cpu and around 100 extra on the motherboard?
Currently running an i5 760 @2.8GHz in a P7P55-M with 6gb(3x2gb) ddr3
tl;dr is 6600k with new mobo worth the extra 100-120 it'd cost to get a 4690k with new mobo?

So I own one of these things. a X52 Pro HOTAS. The thing itself has multiple LED illuminated button on the Stick as well as the Thrust lever. Now when I plug it in to my USB 2.0 the Lights on the Thrust Lever don't work despite the one on the stick working. I figured they were just broken and didn't bother with it because really who cares about glowing parts on hardware.
BUT the other day, I plugged it into an old USB 1.0 Hub that only provides 100mA power and for some reason, ALL of the LEDs on the System worked (although the system itself did not work on USB1.0).
So the question is: Does anyone know why the LEDs wouldn't function on a proper USB slot? And if so, how can I get them to work?
Hey,
a bit of an odd questions but Im looing to get into boombox's. Like I want that hella 80s looking one but I also want an Aux port.

Is it possible to upgrade the following phone to Android 5.0 I'm currently on 4.4.2
I have an archos titanium 40c
Also if it's possible how would one go about it

I was looking for something more html friendly.
Something like a simple web page that I copy it to the web server folder and everything is set.

Most of those seem to work literally like that.
You just install the requirements from your package manager in Linux and extract the archive to your server folder.

I switched from FF to chrome and am using 4chanX.
I used to be able to easily put in spoiler tags into the reply box by pressing CTRL+S.

I tried a shortcut plugin to disable CTRL+S but that didn't work at all.
Anyone know what else I could do (besides switching browsers)?
>>54236262
Turns out I was just using it plug and play (worked flawlessly). Manually installed driver software and now it works. Still very odd behaviour.
