Is this a good overclock at this voltage?
have a fresh install of Windows 10 just set up my mail with Thunderbird, but it keeps freezing every 2 minutes, what the fuck?
4690k, Evo 850 SSD and 8GB of RAM should be able to handle fucking thunderbird
ALSO I just realized that Thunderbird is almost constantly using 5-10% in the background. Not even Chrome uses that much with 30 tabs.
>>54307579
Check your settings maybe some shit is trying to load shit that isnt there,or a fuck ton of connections from being misconfigured
>background
>the program i am running is doing things i told it to do,and im bitching about it doing those things
>>54307621
It unironically became better in the last 30 minutes. Maybe it really had to load some stupid shit or whatever which is still odd because I have like 100 emails and that shouldn't take so long but what do I know, it works now and I don't have to get my Outlook license out.
Why do certain smartphones have an upper size limit for microsd cards? What happens if you latch in a 200gb card when the max is said to be 64 or 128?
>>54307706
It wont work.
It's been a few weeks since I've been to /g/, but what happened with the Smartphone threads? Can't find either general. That said, I just jumped the gun and got my mom a Moto G 3rd Gen, but I also saw that the ZenPhone 2 is about 20 bucks cheaper. Should I cancel my order and get the ZenPhone instead? She'll just use it to call and the occasional text message and I went with the Moto G because of the larger screen to help her see.
Is their a pre riced linux?
In firefox, how do I set the info for bookmarking a page before it is actually bookmarked? Do I really have to bookmark it and THEN change the title and everything for it every time I bookmark a page?
is a gtx 970 enough for 1080p@144fps on the witcher 3 with everything on minimum?
or at least 900p@120fps?
i never went over 2 gb vram usage with my old card so 3.5 gb is not an issue

She can't see very well, hence the larger screen. If there was a dumbphone with a decent-sized screen, then I'd be all over it in a heartbeat.
I need a new gadget, preferably under $100 but whatever. What is a good recommendation?

arigatou. On a related note, is there a way to set it so that when I new tab into my home page (google), the cursor defaults into the google search bar instead of the address bar?
>>54307560
Please answer
>>54307861
Tracphone have big mode.Check out the phones AARP give to seniors,one option is bige text phone.
>larger screen.
How does a larger screen corrilate to being blind?
Even the "large" font setting is around 14px
If she has problems reading this most likely isnt enough
>>54307898
why would you defaul to google? use a custom html for better workflow
also you can search from the address bar

I have had win10 running for some months, and alongside I've installed many linux distro's. Everytime I changed distros I went into disk management in win10 and deleted the partition.
In my bios there's mint, ubuntu, fedora etc., eventhough I don't have these installed.
I'm planning on changing distro again to manjaro but I feel like I'm not deleting them properly. This will probably be my definitife choise so I want everything clean and secure. I might also format and install win10, how do I just completely delete the current linux distro and all the traces from the other distros if there's any? And can I just remove win10 by deleting it's partition in the win10 installer?

I just want the cursor in a new page to be at the center of the screen rather than the corner, and I know it's possible because chrome did this, but I don't see a setting anywhere in firefox
>>54307996
google already does this, did you disable JS?
>>54307910
I see. Well, the sucky thing is that she has Simple Mobile, but I'll look into the TracPhone thing. If they offer an unlimited plan cheaper than $26/month, then I'll seriously consider it. Nevertheless, I'll give it a try and see how it goes with her.
Thanks for everything, Anon.
>>54308020
I don't think I did
when I open a new tab, the address bar is highlighted when all I want is for me to be able to immediately type into the search bar because it's at the center of the screen.
>>54307950
I could use a new one, never should have put my dick in mine.
>>54308086
works for me, the search bar is focused automatically after the page opened.
can you check a different browser? might be you having disabled something.

it's not saved if you disable it. there's nothing to see.
otherwise it's stored in places.sqlite in your profile folder
>>54308188
>is there a way to see the history using a different method?
no, sorry. that's kind of the point of disabling the history.
for the future, just enable the history wipe it when you feel like it. use bookmarks for important stuff

you could get a way cheaper smartphone for that. i don't think you realize how fast these things are these days.
i just got a zenfone max today and it's great. it does come with a lot of bloatware, though. i think the zenfone 2 is no different.

i need some kind of a usb, dvi/hdmi hubs that connect through an ethernet cable, what are they called? is this a good solution for having my pc somewhere in a closet?
>>54307969
Do you mean GRUB when you say BIOS?
Because deleting the partition in Windows will not delete it from GRUB (though it doesn't take up any space anymore).
If you want a clean install of Linux, just wipe the entire drive.
If you want a clean install of your (current linux), boot from a Windows recovery disk/USB drive and repair the MBR/bootloader
Is there a not-botnet 4chan extension for firefox that can provide the same options as native extension, so that I don't need to reset them everytime?
And no, I don't want to simply import/export, I want the same settings on every restart of Firefox, like other addons do, ofc...
what's a decent linux distro i can install on my old laptop?
Why is there an Adblock Plus extension for Thunderbird?
What does it do?
>>54308286
With BIOS I meant boot order. In the boot order inside the BIOS I see all the distro's I've had(like 3). This tells me they left traces.
I would like the keep my win10, and delete my buntu, and install manjaro alongside win10
I just deleted the buntu partition from disk management, should I boot into windwos installer and repair the bootloader?

>>54308434
For data yes
The install no
>>54308441
Make sure you installed the motherboard correctly (standoff screws properly installed).
Make sure the Power Supply is properly connected to the Motherboard.
You should at least get power on if those are installed correctly and working.
I would try exchanging the PSU. If that doesn't fix it, then exchange the motherboard.
If you replace the PSU and Mobo and it STILL doesnt turn on, youre fucking up somewhere.
>>54308446
buy a domain name from any registrar that isn't godaddy.
then either find a webhost that has a blogging software preinstalled that allows you to connect your own domain names. (wordpress lets you do this for 13$ per year)
or buy some webspace and install wordpress on your own.
if you have no idea about anything pay someone to do that for you.
>>54308486
Thank you
If I'm using wordpress, doesn't that mean my domain shows up as "XXX.wordpress.com?"

So I guess I'll take your advice I'm not chasing nobody
Also does anyone by any chance know how would you go around fixing an ASUS motherboard with a dead BIOS? As in, only shows that silly POST logo, no access to literally anything after a key press, gets stuck there. The motherboard is supposed to have a way to directly access its flasher in case of corruption if you put a flash drive with a properly named bios file, but whenever I try that approach the motherfucker just keeps restarting after that ASUS logo instead of getting stuck. Like it's trying to access that software and it ain't there.

>>54308519
literally go to /wg/ and /w/ and find the homescreen threads. I don't know if you need to do anything extra to samshit but install nova launcher (get the paid unlocker too) get klwp (buy the paid version) and lurk and read all the pastebins. Watch brandon craft's KLWP tuts, steal homescreen ideas from the imgur album in the OP of /wg/'s homescreen bread, and download preset KLWP themes from the play store and fiddle around with them to learn the ropes of how to KLWP.
Also, you may want to start lurking /imt/ on both boards so you can make your own wallpapers
>>54308547
Check the back panel for a special(i think red ring) usb drive,you can put bios on it and flash it outside of the motherboard options.There should be a button below it,last i recall you would press this button for 5-15 seconds and it would boot in to the firmware update option.
>>54308562
if you installed it less than 30 days ago you can roll it back in the restore menu.

I have a 128gb sd card so I just load all my anime onto it from my PC and watch in bed if I don't feel like sitting up. It's probably better to watch older anime because you won't really benefit from hi10p FLAC from your phone speakers, but with old avi aac anime it doesn't really impact the experience all that much.
I also prefer to watch korean kino from bed, idk why, it just feels comfier than being at my pc

Deluge doesn't download torrents normally. Usually the download would start like 5-10 seconds after adding the torrent and it would go normally, but I bought this laptop, did a clean install and shit and after adding the torrent to deluge it doesn't start downloading. Sometimes something manages to jumpstart the download, but I haven't pinpointed the thing, like sometimes after restarting the laptop, I can see that the download starts, not always though

Couple questions:
- How do I move the quick reply to the "top" of a thread, like native 4chan?
- Why does it still load minus links even after removing waifus? I had to block minus with ubO to prevent the fucking constant "loading" icon in the tab.

Hi /tech support/
I had a windows 7 install on a hard disc drive.
I want to install an SSD alongside it, install licensed windows 10 on it, use it as my boot drive and eventually format the old one.
What's the best way of doing this?
Can I install onto the other drive while booted into the current 7, or do I need a bootable USB? Can I still use the free upgrade license even if I'm moving drive - how? Do I grab my old windows 7 key with a keygrab utility and plug it into the new install?
Thanks guys!
>>54309831
Very fucking comfy now, 4chanX is way better than AppChan: no bullshit, straight to the point. Options menu is a bit messy, but you win/lose some.
>>54309909
installing windows is usually done with a bootable USB this days, yes
you can clone your win7 HDD drive to the ssd too if it has enough space

Is Windows blocking Google servers? On W7 and W10 I can't even load the Google search. Google services like YouTube and gMail take forever to load. On Debian it works fine. Android works too, but only throught the apps. I tried changing the DNS but nothing. With the DNS checker, it says the SOA is invalid for Google but I can't change that, so it should be a Google server problem but that doesn't explain why it works with Debian.

That is of course full load for both, which is bloody unlikely, but you did say safely. A home server actually using a full 500 watts is doubtful. The PSU you use won't actually draw all that power unless it needs it all at once, so unless you have 8 hard drives spinning, all of your GPUs going full speed overclocked, burn a blu ray disc, and calculate the return trajectory of a SpaceX rocket while your home server reaches some absurd load for no reason at all at the same time you should be fine.

So my brother has a moto x 2013 with an amoled display, and we noticed a stuck pixel in the bottom left side of the screen (it's stuck on green).
Now it was my understanding that amoled screens can't get stuck pixels, but it is definitely lighten up, so I don't think it's dead.
Is there any way to fix this? We've tried a bunch of stuck pixel fixing apps from the play store and left them on for about an hour but none of them have worked so far.
Anything else we can do or is it just hardware related?

My Logitech Anywhere MX mouse stutters badly in Windows 10. I also have a cheap Microsoft mouse, and it has zero issues in Windows 10.
That same Logitech mouse also works flawlessly in Debian. So it's definitely an issue with Logitech + Windows 10.

Anyone else have this problem?

Have you tried turning your router off and on again?
Does pinging google.com work? (open cmd, run command "ping google.com" without quotation marks, obviously)
Does nslookup google.com return IPs? If no, your DNS is fucked. Try setting it to 8.8.8.8
Can you ping a google IP? (try 109.193.192.109 if nslookup doesn't return anything) If no, your ISP is fucking with you.

TL;DR how do I root a unlocked bootloader LG g4 running 6.0 marshmallow. Please halp.
Why do I need the line<input name="language" type="hidden" value="en" />
in a HTML form that creates a search bar (this is from the wikipedia search bar)? The form works in the same way without this line.
>>54311599
It passes on a variable with the name language and the value "en" to whatever handles the form.
You don't need it unless the page you put as the target for action needs it.
I'm not very hardware savvy but I'm trying to install a new internal hard drive and was hoping for some help;
Do SATAs going to Hard Drives and regular disc drives (like a Blu-Ray drive,) use similar slots on a mother board? Can I interchange them?
I need to have both my old and new internal hooked up, but I don't seem to have an extra slot for the new one, so I was wondering if I can just take the SATA out of my Blu-Ray drive and use it for the new internal HDD.
One other thing, assuming the above is doable, will plugging my previous internal HDD to a different SATA cable mess with my computer at all? Will it still recognize it like usual or will it get all fucked up and try to reformat it?
>>54311721
>>54311721
yes you can use the same cables, if you switch around where they are plugged on the mobo you may have to go into bios and correct your boot order if it doesn't boot up right
I have extremely limited Internet bandwidth. I wish to be able to download whole webpages to view during offline time. It's too cumbersome to download each page individually. Some people have suggested Web Crawlers, and that's an 'OK' solution. But what about merely the browser remembers the cache of the websites you visit, and allows you to view every page again without Internet access. In short, is it possible to tell Firefox to save every page, and to be able to navigate websites once they've been visited during offline time?
>>54311721
Unless your mother board is weird, SATA slots should be interchangable.
Changing around your HDDs will result in your BIOS/UEFI looking for your boot drive where they used to be, not where they are now. If you manage to boot, Windows will probably do its darnedest to fuck with you, so have backups.
Also, look into PCIe SATA controller cards. (Although a new MoBo might be cheaper)
>>54311762
Thanks a lot. I have a lot of data I don't have a means of backing up right now that I really don't want to lose, so I've been extra-careful about this whole process. As long as messing with these SATA cables won't run the risk of me corrupting anything, I'm sure I can get it working.

Someone please direct me to a simple tool that will allow me to modify my gpu's clock speeds on linux.
So I was recovering a laptop and all of a sudden it shut down mid-format, and now I can't access the "recover computer" partition when I press F8. And it BSOD's when it boots to win7.
How do I access that recovery partition again? Or is it all gone now?
>>54311926
Welp, I learned that this will pretty much be a dead end and wouldn't work the way I want it to, so a different question:
For some reason my motherboard severely underclocks my gpu, which causes severe flickering when scrolling, watching videos, etc. and eventually the screen will cut to stripped lines after which I need to reboot. Is there any way I can fix this issue?
>>54311945
Good thing I made them put the recovery thing into 5 part CDs, but man I hope using that works.
How do i center <div> lines/data to be centered/relative?
>>54312039
Welp, I can't fucking access the BIOS, therefore, I can't boot from a CD, and now I'm fucking stuck with a laptop that doesn't want to fix itself.
>>54312117
F12 is usually the one time boot selection menu, try that.
>>54312117
Boot linuxusb
Save data externally
Reinstall
>>54312135
It won't do anything, I got the toshiba picture once, but now that shit won't even come out.
It just goes into the "Windows failed to start" and asks me to boot from safe mode.
>>54312135
on some brands it's the esc key or del key
if all else fails pull the harddrive, put it in your desktop, and install linux on it then put it back in the laptop
>>54312165
are you spamming the key from the second you hit the power button? if not try that
>>54312067
>centering things with CSS
Hooo boy, here we go.
Things you can try:
-text-align:center in surrounding object
-If width is a percentage, margin-left and margin-right to (100% - $objectWidth)/2
-float
Good luck

Nevermind, I somehow managed to install catalyst.

Hard drive dork from earlier here.
Got one more question;
I'm using Acronis Clone Disc to move my old Hard Drive's contents, (OS and all,) over to my new one. The info/tutorial thing on it mentions not to let the computer boot with both hard drives with windows still on it or one will become unusable or something, so how do I go about formatting/emptying my old one so that it can serve as a little reserve drive, without my computer freaking out? Can I format it from bios?
>>54312182
I'm holding the key, but it's the same thing.
Tried tapping, same thing.
I live in a gated community, and have 3Mbps DSL, and waned to switch to higher speed internet, but every single website I have been, even the smaller ISPs, don't have service in my area
I am stuck with AT&T, paying $52 for really shitty speeds
Is there anything I can do to switch, other than move?
>>54312195
Knoppix, if you know how to linux, otherwise Windows install disks allow you to format disks.
Be sure to only have the disk you want formatted plugged in if you're paranoid.
>>54312151
I have the data backed up somewhere else, do you think it might be a good idea to take the hard drive off and format it from another computer then put it back in? But I doubt the laptop will even do anything to that since it won't even let me fucking access BIOS
>>54312223
If you've already called everyone who might even possibly offer better service in your area then the game's up. Don't trust the 'is it available for (You)r address' garbage. Many smaller ISPs don't update it because they ironically enough have poor sites. Call them.
Alternatively convince everyone to vote for Barney Sandlers if you're Amurrican. One of his socialist promises that would bankrupt us is nationwide high speed internet on the cheap.
how do I debloat Ubuntu 16.04
I'm trying to use javafx and I just want to be able to edit the textarea but it's just not appearing. All I get is a red screen. What am I dong wrong? I have no idea what's happening.public class javafxText extends Application{

BorderPane borderPane = new BorderPane();
TextArea textArea = new TextArea("Text Area");

I just picked up a Dell Poweredge that's a few years old for a good price.
I plan on running a PLEX server, a NAS, and use it for Linux development when the situation calls for it. In the future, I may use it to run a simple webserver also.
Would CentOS be the best distro for this? I have more experience with Ubuntu but it seems like everyone is using CentOS for running web services nowadays.
Or should I just run a headless hypervisor and run VMs for inward facing tasks, like networked storage and general programming, and for outward facing tasks like running web services?
>>54312312
Install debian
I need ~240GB SSD to host OS drivers for about 5 VMs.
What should I buy? I'm not rich.
>>54312219
did you also try the keys other anons suggested? try looking up your laptop brand/model and how to get into its bios
>>54312300
no no, no misa sanders he not here
but seriously how does the fucker plan to pay for all this free shit, oh that's right, unbearably high taxes
>>54312312
by starting with the netinstall
>>54312374
really anything you can do with cent you can do with the bunt, it's mostly a matter of better defaults vs learning a different package management scheme

There is a Samsung 250 GB SSD for 88 dollars on Newegg, they make excellent SSDs.

I paid some Indian £100 to change a completely and royally fucked up LCD on a Samsung Galaxy S5.
The new screen is working fine now, but one thing: There's a vertical line of pink pixels appearing on dark-blue colours and it's driving me insane.
Is it an issue I might be able to fix or should I just go to the Indian that didn't give me a receipt or anything today?
>>54312538
ok but go ahead and look up how to get into bios for your particular laptop, sometimes it's not an f key at all, but instead something strange or a key combination
>>54312558
It's a toshiba satellite p755-s5120. I have tried the keys that the toshiba website provided, none of them worked. F2 just gets me to the boot screen where there's only Windows 7 and a memory test option.
>>54312545
That's no LCD.
Are all intel stock coolers the same?
I have one on my i5 760 from a few years ago that's super gunked up with dust. I can't be bothered cleaning it, so will I be able to replace it with the cooler from my new i5 6500?
>>54312613
when you get to that boot screen do you have any other bootable media in the laptop? like a live usb or cd? if not, then make one and put it in then try that boot screen again and see if it shows up as an option
>>54312618
Elaborate.

What's the difference between the balanced/unbalanced connections here?
>>54312655
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_AMOLED
>>54312678
I believe the rca jack(unbalanced) only carries one channel instead of l and r channels or some shit like that
>>54312678
Unbalanced connections use two conductors while balanced use three. Unbalanced connections are susceptible to picking up noise.

Is this it? Is this the end of everything? I want to fucking die, the laptop won't even co operate with me.
And no I don't have a bootable media, I tried booting a CD to format that faggot, but it won't even run the CD first.
Have you guys ever heard of an ethernet port causing your computer to reboot itself?
I've been diagnosing my friend's computer for a while now and trying to find the source of the problem, he tells me the computer shuts off randomly when he's playing stuff like CS:GO or watching YouTube videos
Sounded like maybe a power supply issue. Tested it everything, PSU was fine. Stress tested the computer to draw as much power out of the power supply as well and to see if any of the components were busted, worked fine.
Those were all offline solutions, but then we decided to open up a youtube video
Lo and behold, the computer shut off.
So put in a new PCI network card and disabled the onboard port. Been testing it all day today, and past 7 hours it has not turned off.
Probably the most bizarre thing I've ever dealt with in a computer, is this even possible?
>>54312705

Evidently it is. Not that far fetched, actually. I've gotten electric shocks from ethernet cables before.

In Python, I'm trying to pass a list of variables I defined in one function into another (in hopes that I could make it more compact than writing the same dozen of variables dozens of times over every time I call another function) and it doesn't seem to be going through properly.
In order to debug it, I made the program print the list before and after it goes into another function. The numbers are going through, but it turns into a tuple, the print output becoming parentheses instead of brackets as they should be, and all the variables that are on the list in use are 0.
What's going wrong, and how can I fix it?
How do I stop wmp from adding duplicate entries whenever I add music by dropping it into the folder, the duplicate entries show the same location but with a number added here and there.

Nevermind got it to fucking work holy shit.
I booted it with one RAM and no hard drive, it got me to the BIOS, I defaulted it and set the boot method to normal from fast and changed the boot order.
Unfortunately, I have to use a CD to install windows 7, and can't use the recovery partition. I hope the CD I'm using makes the recovery partition as it is the same rip of that thing.

same story
then more RAM

this continues until i can build a free machine
QUESTION IS:
at what point did my bucket of parts become my computer
and at what point does he not even have his computer anymore (although he thinks it's his original but all upgraded)
at what point is his computer not the same on he started with?
Is there any software out there that allows me to draw a surface in 3 dimensions, and can determine it's function?

are you asking about the soul of a computer? I'd say the mobo since that's the largest change possible from a parts perspective. The mobo is like the body with the cpu being the brain.

debugging?
thinking how to tackle issue?
goofing off?
other?

I figured there might at least be an API that lets you add additional formats.
I found
http://zabkat.com/blog/compressed-folder-shell-extension.htm
but it seems a little half-baked - opening a 16gb archive causes explorer to crash, I assume because the software literally just extracts the archive to a temporary location before you open it.
