And my question

The Intel atom N2600 is listed as being 64 bit on intels specs sheet, but apparently some manufactures stop it from running 64bit and only run 32-bit. Im about to install an os on it and im wondering 1) how can i check / overcome this limitation and 2)would it actually have an impact on the system since my ram is lower than 4gb?

Ive heard some people say 32-bit would run faster but i find it to be a dubious claim

How do I install CUDArray onto Anaconda 2.7 in windows? I keep getting problems with "unresolved externals" when I run setup.py after compiling libcudarray.lib

I think I need an old version of CUDnn maybe, but you cant get it anywhere except possibly nvidia's site after joining their developer program

I'm using VS2013 and this version of CUDArray below, made to allow for compiling on windows:

It's exactly what it says on the tin. A connector for the USB 3.0 ports on the case to connect to a port that may or may not exist on your motherboard.

>friend gave me his 'broken' laptop, just a dead harddrive, threw one of my old ones in it
>works perfectly now, I told friend, he said 'keep it'
>I have no use for it, gonna sell it, effectively a free $400
so I'm thinking of spending it all on my PC, just because it means I can upgrade without feeling guilty (vs using my own money)
>have 2500k, 290 tri-x
>considering a 2nd 290 since it seems like the cheapest option for most improvement
>also would be cool to have that much power
thoughts? I know I would be better off selling my current 290 and buying a 980 (980ti is over $800 in Canada, so that's a no go), but a 980 would be a lot worse than two 290s. a 970 isn't much better than a 290 but costs 150% of one, so that's not any better.

other options are a new CPU, but that plus a motherboard will be over $400 for 4690k or over $500 for Skylake

/v/ fag over here.

So the ps4.5 (codename NEO) is supposedly coming out and its MUCH more powerful than the PS4.

Sauce: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/new-product/game/sony-playstation-5-release-date-price-specs-uk-e3-45-games-3537250/

>It says NEO will have eight Jaguar CPU cores running at 2.1GHz rather than the 1.6GHz in the PS4,
>an improved AMD GCN with 36 rather than 18 CUs running at the higher rate of 911MHz over 800MHz,
>and faster GDDR5 memory - 8GB at 218GB/s instead of 176GB/s.

I know that the current PS4 is similiar to a gtx 750ti/760/960, where would that put the new ps4.5?

Would that bump it up to be close to a gtx 980? I dont know how to properly compare an APU to a dedicated GPU.

>>
>>54239623
>MUCH more powerful
That remains to be seen. There's no way of telling how fast the GPU part of it will be due to the fact they're only stating how many shaders it will have.

For instance, the Fury X had ~50% more shaders than the 290x but it didn't give that much more performance. The pixel fill rate for the 290x is ~64Gpixels/s whereas the Fury X has ~67.2Gpixels/s.

Using the "My Files" app(?) that came stock with my Android tablet, I am able to add a shortcut on the home screen to any image I've saved. When I do this, however, upon my opening the shortcut to the image, it asks me which image viewer I wish to view it with. My decision of "ALWAYS" instead of "JUST ONCE" is never saved for more than, say, an hour. It will always ask me to select an image viewer to with the image with after a certain amount of time.

Why? I don't believe this happens with any other default app association on my tablet

Not him, but cumon m8. it's the year 2016. You aren't maintaining anything by condemning Reddit here. It's not like 4chan's community is any better. If you have enough faith in anyone here, you'll get a passive aggressive reply. Reddit is only worse because it enables passive aggression without even having to show your face.

but both sites are still terrible and are at this point only useful for observing trends since their traffic is so high. But if you're enough of a cuck to actually submit posts or comments to Reddit you much /really/ enjoy the passive aggression that site forces you to endure

Honestly, I have never seen anyone actually distinguish any part of Reddit from itself besides long ago when Reddit supposedly ruined rage comics due to one subreddit, when "le" was still a thing. No one actually explains why Reddit is bad otherwise, or have since. I doubt such persons can even think for themselves.

Not to defend Reddit; just calling-out the type of person who's calling you out, for instance, as likely being incapable of thinking for himself, but in either case having no argument

It's entirely personal preference to be honest. I used to be part of the Windows 7 master race thing, and then I said fuck it and went to Windows 8. Windows 8 has that stupid ass metro, but it can be easily removed with a start replacement.

I have a specific question to web devs!

Im not into web development but im using an ftp server to upload my photos through java and php on my mobile device.

I have set
php_value upload_max_filesize 5M
in my .htaccess
because my photos will never exceed 5mb.

But after ~30 photos the server returns 413
>pic related
and ill have to wait around more then 24 hours for the upload to work again

Is there a setting to upload an unlimited amount of pictures <5mb? Or is there a specific time ill have to wait to start the upload again?

Thanks in advance!

Yes. Do some reading on the subject. Tor has known flaws but it is also known that it is still a serious thorn in the side of the FBI and other agencies. All of the busts so far involving Tor have either come from browser exploits (retards enabling java/flash) or from zero days that were essentially one time use because they got patched soon afterwards.

I have honestly never seen that kind of non-standard sata connector ever, the connector type is just like the ones used to connect the keyboard to the motherboard on a laptop, but I've never seen not heard about a hard disk being connected through that.
If it really is a (strange kind of) SATA connector, it's probably not anything standard.

Hard drive troubles.

Got a new pc and installed win 7. Was on XP. WD Black drive now enters a sort of 'sleep' mode (I can hear it park the head) and there's a delay wen I access the drive when it is in such a state. It never went into this mode when I was on XP so I'm guessing it's win 7.

Is it related to power profiles on Windows 7? I can't find anything in there that would indicate anything related to the hard drive. What could be the cause of this? I'd rather it not park the head/platter at all or at least lengthen the time until it does. Usually about 15-20 minutes until it parks.

Thoughts?
>>
>>54246202
Well if it's just a hobby go wild with whatever you want. If you want a simple language that just werks and is practically useful to make shit with Python is the way to go. If you want to learn about low level stuff C is the way to go (then you can segue into C++).

C# is good if you want to make UWP (windows 10) apps. The rest of the languages you listed are meme-tier.
