This is where you ask... Stupid questions?
Anyways. I am having trouble with my desktop computer. The cpu fan and chassis fan have recently began to spin extremely fast, with no clear reasoning as to why. I think it is a problem with the mother board, as it starts spinning fast every boot despite changing the settings to not spin so fast. Trying to adjust with speed fan, or Asus suite 3 does no good. What can I do to fix this? The motherboard model is an h 81 M-K
A friend of mine droped water in my wireless router. After drying it, it works, but the wifi signal is extremely weak.
Can somebody explain this?
Can i fix it or should i buy another router?
Thanks in advance familiares

It's a package manager that makes installing and managing installations of command line tools much easier, pretty much as easy as apt-get or yum. You can even get GUI apps from there (I installed Chromium through homebrew). Also it installs everything in /usr/local so there aren't any conflicts with system default packages.

hey guys. I just found an old macbook 5,1 from early 2009. Now it's running 10.58 version of OS X. Now I know nothing about macs. I just want to update everything to the latest version. Can anyone advise me on what to do? I want to do it for free. On the apple forums it says I have to update to 10.6 by buying the disk for 30 dollars and then update to el capitan. What if I torrent 10.6? would that let me enter the appstore or do they have detection for that shit?

there's not a single tool that's as good as ffmpeg, learn how to use it, it's not that hard.

But my package is 12 GB so i use it liberally. I suggest you get as much as possible, and then downgrade if you aren't using it

is it just as simple as buying the same brand? nothing else to worry about?

i'll go for the 5gb then and see if i actually use it. the good thing about the contracts i'm looking at is that you can cancel at any time.

How can I remotely wipe my old iPhone?
I bought a new one because the screen of my old one was broken. Price to repair the screen is equal to a second hand iPhone.
I'm probably going to give it to my cousin because he repairs phones for a living and can use the parts of my phone. Or he will fix the screen and use it as a backup phone or whatever.
He knows my PIN and I don't want him to access my shit when he fixes it.

Basically they removed the ability to write to certain directories in El Cap for "security reasons". IDK if this is the problem but it's most likely it, and if not I'd do it anyways to prevent future problems with other programs. Just follow the top voted solution. Post back if it worked.

Is there a way to reduce this distortion? I can't use a ground loop isolator since the bluetooth chip is the only interface and it's soldered to the board.

How is a VPN supposed to make anyone anonymous?
I mean, say your IP is 1.1.1.1 and your VPN's IP is 2.2.2.2.
Now, you connect to Google, so the traffic looks like this [You(1.1.1.1)]-->2.2.2.2-->Google
Now, of course Google only sees a connection from 2.2.2.2, BUT I can't imagine how the ISP can't easily put the pieces of the puzzle back together.
I.e. "around ~12:30 PM on 1/1/16 the suspect visited website.com. Sadly, we only know that the IP is 2.2.2.2 which is a Ukrainian datacenter. But on the other hand, the IP 1.1.1.1 was connecting to 2.2.2.2 exactly 10 milliseconds before the other connection."
Seems pretty easy to trace people back tbqh or am I missing something?

Shit cartoon
>>54321437
All traffic goes through the VPN before it goes to the internet. While the ISP could see you connecting to the VPN, they have no way of telling what you did afterwards, which means just because 2.2.2.2 connected to google 10 ms after you connected to 2.2.2.2, they can't be 100% sure it was you. It wouldn't hold up in a court of law.
That is, unless the VPN gives the ISP, law enforcment etc, the information, Use a VPN that claims to store no data about its users.
>>54321464
It's 4 Ohm rated at 100W RMS so it's not the speaker that's distorting. It's the amp or the bluetooth module, I assume I'll have to do some electronic fuckery to reduce the amount of electrical noise relative to the audio signal, no idea how to do that though.
>>54321437
The ISP doesn't know that 2.2.2.2 went to google.com. All they see is 1.1.1.1 connecting to 2.2.2.2. Now if Google was working with the ISP (or there was an organization that made submitting logs mandatory by both the ISP and google) they would be able to conclude that "user x connected through so-and-so ISP with IP address 1.1.1.1 to 2.2.2.2 and a few ms later google.com got an incoming connection from 2.2.2.2, therefore 1.1.1.1 must be the user who connected to google.com at time HH:mm and searched for ``rainbow dash porn'' ".
>>54321437
I would guess if it's a private (only used by you) IP, your connection could indeed be traced back under the assumption that both the website you visited and your ISP complies to give out information.
So let's assume this is the case:
You visited trannyporn.com using the VPN 2.2.2.2. Tranny porn complies with whatever agency and gives the IP 2.2.2.2.
Mind you, there are multiple ISPs and you can't even know which COUNTRY the one who connected to 2.2.2.2 came from. So you either
>a) have to get some kind of foreign law cooperation bullshit to get the information who connected to 2.2.2.2 from the local ISP in this country
>or b) just ASSUME the suspect came from your country and ask ALL ISPs to supply records from that time to find the one which connected to 2.2.2.2
Then, they MIGHT be able to trace back the connection, assuming all the records still exist AND you are literally the only one who ever connected to the server. Because the actual traffic is encrypted, they don't know what you requested.
What if you just visited google through the VPN at that time and someone else (who connected to the VPN 2 days ago) didn't place a timed command on the server to "wait 2 days, then visit trannyporn.com".
Now you realize that this is A LOT of effort and definitely not the way to go to break VPN traffic.
It's probably much easier to
>decrypt traffic through backdoors/faulty crypto implementation
>get the logs from the VPN provider itself granted it collects log files (so this is essentially a trust part - some providers say the don't log, but how can you be sure they don't REALLY do? Or that they actually don't want to log, but they're retards and forgot to turn off a relevant setting?)

Not necessarily programming, but some scripting abilities can enable you to simplify things you do every day, like downloading new files from your school website automatically and periodically.
Small things really. With programming abilities you might fix outdated programs that you might have use for and otherwise be able to make your own customized additions to programs you use, to suit you.
You'll also be able to perhaps make some simple plugins for programs you use, like bittorrent clients or what have you.
It also gives you a deeper understanding over how things work.

Let's say that I want to swap a hard drive with everything installed from one chinkpad (with an i5) to another (with an i7).

Does that mean that I can't easily swap hard drives between computers and have it just werk if I use gentoo? Would something like Debian or Arch work better for something like this?

i would avoid arch and gentoo for such a thing since you'd have to install drivers for extra hardware. however it would work on whatever distro you want, it'd be less of a pain on a debian or fedora.

The problem won't be the CPU but all the other hardware, most of which requires special drivers.
It will probably still work, but you might not get WiFi or sound or things like that.

>>54324760
The "k" at the very end means it's a unlocked multiplier CPU.
Overclocking affects the processor's lifespan I'd like to know how many years I'd have left with that CPU if I were to overclock it to 4~4.5 Ghz
>>54324775
ebay lets you fuck over anyone if you "got the wrong item", they will always side with you on this with their guarantee well over 95% of the time.
>guy buy super deluxe dragon dildo 5000

who do you think they will side with? It's fraud on their part to sell yo something them give you something else then say "no takes backsies" like a fucking child trading shitty candy at the playground
i don't know /g/ i've always used debian because muh 100% free software; but now i tried ubuntu and it's awesome, mostly because of newer software.
What components should i avoid?
I know the kernel has nonfree blobs,
unity is a botnet (but i'm going to use cinnamon)
and there may be nonfree software in the repos.
Any reason to avoid ubuntu and stick with debian, for a normal PC that doesn't need top tier stability and security anyway?

>>54324805
A CPU is very unlikely to fail if you overclock the right way as in don't push it to some retarded amount and set it on fire, You don't want it at the absolute fastest it can get but a bit below that for better stability. on how fast it will go depends on the CPU you have, every single one is a bit different in quality and some may get faster oc speeds then others even if they are both the same product, your cooler is going to fail first so just get one with a 5 year warranty and replace it before then.
i made a fucking thread on this, anyways.
Newfag here coming from pol, anyone wanna help me with windows 7 i pirated? recently built a rig, but 'm pirating windows. Do i include the activation onto the usb, the usb already has win 7 on it. Or do i put the activator onto the usb after i installed win 7?
secondhand gtx 970 for €240, should i?
I'm not going to spend more than €300 on a graphics card anyway, so that should live polaris and pascal out of the question, at least for a few months
>>54324906
I installed windows without activating and then, when i got to the desktop, i installed the drivers for my gtx 660 and then patched the os with DAZ loader. Microsoft toolkit is also fine

the specific policy is ebay's money back guarantee.
>"If the item isn’t exactly what you ordered, eBay covers your purchase price plus original shipping on virtually all items."
Tell the guy that he sent you the wrong item which is unacceptable and you will have to go to ebay if he refuses since it's against their policy to send a wrong item then refuse returns, I guarantee ebay will side with you 100% on something like this. Just read up on their policy page to make sure you got everything right. I've dealt with this shit before when fags tried to sell me bootleg tits and ass.

Hello, I've just installed Debian 8.4 and I have some troubles with my ethernet card (D-Link DGE-528T), during the installation it wanted some firmwares but i've skiped it to install them later, which i did, but I have a constant "cable unplugged"
The card seems to be recognized bc when I do "lspci" it displays "Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc DGE-528T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev10)"
Any help ?

Dual-graphics wasn't started until the 6000 series so your 4850 would not work.
According to https://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/dual-graphics
you would be best pairing your APU with an R7 250.
As someone who fell for dual graphics in the past (A8-3870K + 6670) its pretty much useless. Trying to updae drivers was annoying and there was little to no performance increase.
Ended up just getting a better dedicated GPU
4 questions.
1. Builing PC for first time, my case clearance is 165mm must the coolers I'm looking at say 158mm without fans 166 with fans. WHAT THE FUCK HOW WILL ANYTHING FIT.
2. Will the Noctua NH15 work good with just 1 fan.
3. If I swap out the 1 Noctua fan with the PPC industrial fan will be make a difference?
4. ASUS vs EVGA for mobos. I can't decide on the 2 mobos I'm looking at.

Trying my hand at overclocking and getting 4.6ghz and 1.25 v with a i7490k and evo 212.
Besides getting a new cooler, is there a way I can lower idle temps and letting it be stable? Would letting it go into adaptive mode or C states be safe?
>>54325799
Don't partition your damn room, just jack off with a laptop in the bathroom or when your roommate is out. My rommate just went to take a shower and my dick already knows it's time to go.
So this happened to my PC.
PSU is buggered, motherboard is buggered, is it likely that the RAM and CPU suffered similarly? Visual inspection looks promising.
>>54325916
Not really
Adaptive mode should be fine, but it won't lower your load temps.

I should add, in C, you can ditch the brackets if there is a single statement inside the for loop. Otherwise, you always need brackets for multiple statements.
>>54327390
>>54327524
Always use brackets. Even for single line stuff. You're asking for a headache if you don't.
Also are you sure multiplying an int by a floating point and storing the result in an int really what you want?

My PC has real trouble visiting some random sites intermittently.
Imgur and Wika are ones that it most commonly falls down on. 98% of sites are fine.

Happens in every browser. Doesn't happen on other devices using the network.
Any ideas?
Are there any good guides out there to physical hardware? I want to build a home server from scratch but I'm not familiar with what all the parts do.
Something like a raspberry pi is too small, was talking about 4-8 servers with 250G diskspace/2 cores/8G RAM each.
Anyone here knowledgeable with the ESP8266 Wifi module? I'd like to use it as a wifi connection for an Arduino project. But I can only find information online about using it as a standalone module.
>>54327934
4-8 servers? What are you planning to do with it?
>>54327906
Imgur sometimes shits itself. I have it every once in a while that it hangs on "waiting for available socket". You can't do anything about that.
>>54327949
Algorithm farm, basically. Throw a bunch of long-running processes in it and let it run overnight, check the results in the morning. The plan is to eventually use two of the servers as a front-end for this process so I can host the service for other people to use.
I took my old family pc dell tower up to my room to attempt to recover files like pictures from the hard drive using a bridge device.
