two of my standoffs aren't in 100%, but the mobo isn't touching the case. would this still prevent it from booting?
I have a few.
1. There is a router that has usb port on it and you can practiaclly make a NAS out of a pendrive. Is it possible the make a live usb linux drive, make it as NAS and boot a few comps connected through ethernet with it?
Can I just install like 4 pcs at one time with one drive through network?
2. If the network part of the mobo is completely fucked, how can a usb to ethernet adapter would work? What would be the MAC if the card is seriously utterly fucked?
3. Normal mobos usually only have 1 ethernet port. Can you just setup a server on it and use it as dhcp and other shit using the ethernet as an input(from the ISP) and a usb to ethernet adapter as the output to a router?
What is the best method for creating a database/back-end for a website and implementing it? Security-wise? Speed-wise? Like a user account for example with sensitive information.
I've seen it done with Java-XML, JS-HTML-PHP-SQL, etc etc.
What languages should I be using to write my back-end and why? I know Java and I've done the JS-PHP-SQL route before. I want to know which one experienced webdevs recommend and why.

I use git for version control.
Let's say I use GPL-licensed code in my programs during early development before replacing it with my own code more tailored for my specific purposes.
If I then distribute my software and make the git repository available to users, does my software have to be GPL? There is no GPL-licensed code in the released version, but the repository still contains it and one could checkout a version which includes it.

I need a free website to upload and manage less than 10MB of data! Need suggestions because I have no idea who good hosts are.
I have a few pieces of small software for a small and personal userbase (~ 50 users at best), that I previously used Dropbox for.
The software has the ability to update itself by checking a fixed dropbox link for the current version number, and then downloads the new .exe from a different dropbox link. If automatic updates are enabled, it only checks once a day, and only if the software is launched.
This has worked fine for about 1 year, but now they have blocked all my dropbox files because they generate too many requests.
I need a new service to provide the following:
1. Control over which file is hosted on which URL. I want to be able to update the file in an URL without changing the URL, so that I can change the current version number for example.
2. Direct download links like example.com/example.txt, so that ONLY the file is downloaded from the URL. No file hoster that has download buttons please, as this won't work.
Bonus points for custom URL, but not neccesary

that's an iffy situation anon, your best bet would be to just remove the gpl code from your git even if it breaks the previous version. it's one of those things that could go either way and if some autist decides to press the issue it'd have to go before a judge or a mediator or something to get resolved cause there's no clear answer

When you install USB device it will identify/install as a network device and then attach to the TCP/IP network stack. Don't ask for specifics because I am not a CS guy but this is what the programing behind it would result in.
The USB to ethernet adapter (physical device itself) would have a MAC address.
However because the external network data is sent into the device itself, and then sent into the motherboard via USB from the device, Windows needs drivers to understand the USB data that comes through (as with all USB devices.)
This is why, whilst USB ethernet adapters work, they don't work outside of your operating system, as the BIOS does not have code that can handle USB network adapters. There are tons of different manufactuers and models and there is no standard for the interface of USB ethernet adapters (infact that was the point of USB) so a BIOS would not know what the fuck to do with that data (Windows only does because of the drivers.) So you can't PXE boot etc from a USB ethernet adapter.
Hope this sheds some light.
Think of how you can create virtual network adapters in things like hyperV / VMware.
They dont actually exist, but they all bind to a physical network adapter. No reason that can't be a physical USB device.
If you're doing it over USB though not only are the devices slower (running at USB standards) but also you now have a bunch of overhead as your little device tries to translate data link packets into USB data and then Windows translates it back. Not a good idea!

>>54485996
Hmm well it doesn't need to be the size of the raspberry pi but something portable and not too bulky wouldn't mind paying around $300
Is there actually something going on at TPB or is google just up to some weird scheme?
>>54486021
get one nice one (for gaems) and two or three shitty (1080p) ones that match each other for multitasking. make sure the nice one is led or amoled so you can do color work on it (if your into that kinda stuff)

pc keeps shutting off on its own. then turn back on by itself. no blue screen of death or anything. just a normal start up. is my psu dying? what can i do to find out what the problem is?

>>54486021
I'd want to see 1080 4k performance before making that decision if you're solely thinking gaming. I'm pessimistic on that desu.
Could go nice 4k for film/tv/image editing etc, one nice 1440p for gaming then two decent 1080p for everything else.

Had similar experience twice, PSU was the issue. Check wiring, unplug and plug everything back in.
Test whether it turns off quicker when playing games (because the GPU power draw is causing it to cut out).

What are some good sites/forums to look into for good deals on parts. Im asking now as the curren gen of gpus are about to get cheap as hell with the 1070 being as cheap as it is
>>54486137
its never turned off while playing games. usually while using the internet. but it doesnt happen everyday. maybe like one a week. or less. but its happened like 5 times in the last month. would the only way to find out be to buy another psu and and wait to see if it turns off or not?

So I got myself a UPS because of several power interruptions in the past week.
I'm afraid of toasting my mobo and CPY which happened last time, luckily it was just a 555BE.
I bought qn i5-6600k and soon a 1070, are there any other things that I should care about as far as avoiding harm is concerned?

>low temps, aftermarket cooler
>good airflow
>dust filters
Got all of the above.
My uncle gave me a "broken" webcam. It's led can be turned on, but it does not produces any images on Windows 7, and on Ubuntu 16.04 it gives a green screen. There is something else I can do with it, besides removing the clip and throwing the rest away?

My Windows partition is dead. Windows 10 installed with problems, and I couldn't log in for whatever reason.

Not really sure what to do.

I sometimes use daemon tools for personal reasons.
However, every time I boot or restart my PC the latest personal-reason in question is always displayed in my removable storage.
If I eject it, it returns upon restarting.
How can I stop this from happening? I tried googling this, but I must not be wording it quite right to get the results I desire.

That's for basically connecting two graphics cards together, on AMD cards this is called CrossFire and on Nvidia it's called SLI. The result of this is that with applications that can support these bridges can make the cards distribute work load and therefore do more calculations for the application. This technique cannot however increase or double the amount of memory that the application can use but it's possible to distribute screen load on each card's memory.
>>54486992
Wow, that old ass card supports SLI? I thought it was for something else. Thanks
Hey /g/, really really stupid question here.
I built a PC, runs great, etc. but am thinking about upgrading the motherboard and processor. Is my copy of Windows 7 installed on the hard drive, or does it have something to do with the motherboard? In other words, if I were to plug the same hard drive into a new motherboard with a new processor, would the computer boot normally?
Thanks in advance.

It actually varies on the motherboard and the manufacturer and Microsoft's support on OEM boards. It could work, it might fail. If it boots up normally I'd still recommend running Sysrep /generalize , this will reconfigure your installation of windows to your current hardware. If it fails on booting, you can load into a disk image and use the command prompt there to run Sysrep on the installation as long as you can access your drive, this should fix problems but it's not guaranteed by microsoft. Windows 8 and Windows 10 have reportedly made this an automatic feature but it's not guaranteed as there are many firmware versions and boards out there.
tl:dr It might work, It might require some tweaking, it's better just to back up your files and do a clean install.
>>54487135
>it's better just to back up your files and do a clean install.
I'll probably just do this, yeah. Interesting to know about, though.
My current motherboard is ASUS's epic republic of gamer board with some kind of built-in overclocking software it had me open when I was installing Windows, so it probably would not be a clean break. (I bought this motherboard because of its high ratings).

So yesterday my dad switched to Bell's Fibe TV, I'm supposed to get 50mpbs download, but this entire afternoon internet was choppy as fuck despite no one watching TV upstairs.
(The tech yesterday said the TV's only take 10mbs)
The modem is a couple feet away from my computer (wireless)
Here are speedtests from Ookla and fucking bell
Wifi signal is almost always at the second bar
Where can i get a legit iso of windows 8? I have a legit product key but i cant get my pc to boot from the installation disc
I've been getting crashes and shutdowns (fully off, like pulling the power cable) when playing gaems. CPU and RAM usage are really high (like 90%, CPU at 80 c) so I thought one of them might be at fault but the shutting down is a power supply issue right?
Specs are:
AMD FX-6100
8 gb 1333 mhz RAM
Gtx 760 OC
NEO ECO 620W PSU
>>54487713

CPU spiking, if it runs at 80 C° at 90% load it could spike above it's mark and firmware will shut the PC off to avoid damage to the CPU, change the thermal paste and the heatsink/fan.
>>54487676
A few things:
1) Try a different speed test server
2) They could be recording something
3) Try it on a ethernet connection. If you're using wireless, you could have a wifi card that's limited to 10-15mbps.
Have plenty more of possible things but those are the most likely.
>>54487754
2nd for changing thermal paste/fan. You might be able to just dust the fan like I can on my 8350. I haven't had any problems since I put a corsair water cooler on. You might look into a cooler master fan+heatsink, those are almost as good as water cooling. Almost.
Repost from last thread (I may have been a little inebriated):
So I'm comfortable with R for statistics purposes, but my programming experience is mostly little challenges and contests online, and a few personal ongoing projects (text-based adventure, morse code flashcard game, and some chaos graphing stuff).
With some of the things I want to make, I feel like I'm hitting a boundary of what R is built for, so I'm looking to learn a "real" programming language. I'm telling you this because I want you to understand where I'm coming from when I say this:
Please, please sell me on why 0-based indexing is good. Why does almost every language use it?
Please give me an argument against 1-based indexing, that doesn't use some vague "well in some upper-level math applications," I want a logical argument, not an anecdote, and certainly not math level dick-measuring. Citing a couple of mathematically involved cases where 0-based works better is not a real argument, unless it demonstrates how its usefulness there tips the scales and makes all the intuitive 1-based applications an acceptable sacrifice.
Again, I do want to be convinced. I want to see the light.
>>54488057
>>54488113
OK, i've still got the stock heatsink so maybe I'll finally go for something better.
>>54488164
0-based indexing is how the computer works, so it is how serious programming languages work.
>>54488164
Nobody has answered it better than Dijikstra, refer to this little article
>http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD08xx/EWD831.html
>>54488164
>0-based indexing
This relates to pointers. So a pointer is basically a variable which stores an address of another variable in memory. You can do addition/multiplication onto pointers.
So if we have something like:
myPointer = (some address);
myPointer[0] = 5; (store 5 in some address + 0)
Whereas, if you did the equivalent in a 1-based language:
myPointer[1] = 5; (store 5 in some address + 1 - 1)
It's just extra work. That's one reason, I'm sure there's plenty more.
Honestly, the main reason for using 0-based indexing is that's just how the computer does it (like above.) It gets really confusing when you mess with converting pseudocode to your code though.
>>54481141
compiled software is typically ELF, though they don't typically use an extension
>>54481209
no, it's the files' magic or the interpreter mentioned on the first line if the file begins with "#!"

I don't have an Ethernet cable long enough to reach my modem, I don't think it might be my wifi card because I've reached 40-45mpbs on a wireless connection before we had the TV's hooked up

>>54488206
Computers store numbers in binary. Should "serious" languages require the user to adopt binary over decimal as well?
>>54488212
this makes some sense to me. I like how in 0-based the length of a vector is the difference between it's highest and lowest indexes. I still think all of the things rendered unintuitive are too high a price though. Maybe with some experience that will change.
>>54488253
I haven't done pointer arithmetic or any sort of low-level programming, so I can't comment. Though this does seem like a special case like i mentioned. I mean even Python uses 0-based and it's not made for anything like that as far as I know. So what's the reason for that?
>It gets really confusing when you mess with converting pseudocode to your code though.
This is my issue with the whole thing. Programming languages are meant to be written by people. Should they not conform to human conventions where possible?

>>54488456
Try it anyway. It could be because of radio inference caused by the TV's wifi. I'm 99.9% sure it's related to the TVs. If that doesn't work then unplug the TVs and see what happens.
>>54488815
I can't comment on why Python uses 0-based, but I assume it's to make the language familiar to programmers.
Honestly, 0-based is the way to go if you want to get really into computer programming.
>pseudocode
Yes, this is a major bitch, especially when you have poorly documented pseudocode. It's fucking terrible.
>Should they not conform to human conventions where possible?
Computer languages are meant to be written by people, but they're meant to be interpreted by machines. Machines use 0-based counting.
I will buy 8GB of RAM for my netbook, which can hold 8GB at maximum. I'm planning to buy Corsair, because it has lifelong warranty. This lifelong warranty is a good thing, right? Corsair is a good thing, right? Is US$75 (converted from my currency) a good price?

what do you guys think of pic related? Thinking of building a semi-portable gaming machine in an Elite 110 case. This 7890k comes with AMD's new "wraith cooler" which is supposedly almost as good as the 212 EVO albeit louder.
>>54489349
Looks pretty cool, I personally like running an A8 instead of an A10 for power consumption reasons, but if its not going to be on all the time who cares about that.
anyone know why when I try to transfer files between my external hard drive and my ssd,
it starts out transferring at about 300-400MB/s
then slows down all the way to a halt for a good 30 seconds, goes back up to about 30-40MB/s
then repeats that for the rest of the transfer.
>>54489381
yea It's just I've amassed many parts etc over my time building and figure fuck it. I already have
>250gb Samsung ssd
>Cooler Master Elite 110
>EVGA 500B PSU
>Spare wireless Xbox 360 controller/adapter
>Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse combo
Figure I'll build this thing with minimal investment, overclock the piss out of it, and hook it up to my buddies TV when I'm at his house. How does the 7890k perform at 1080p? Enough for say Dark Souls 3 on Medium @ 60fps? I plan on dedicated 2gb of the ddr3 to the iGPU, overclocking the CPU to 4.5ghz+, and upping the RAM speed to 2800mhz as well.
>>54489383
1. pulls data from the ssd to a buffer as fast as it can (300-400M/s), while at the same time, writing it out to the external hdd
2. buffer fills quickly, as the external hdd can't write as fast as the ssd can read, once the buffer is full, the speed drops as it has to wait for the external to catch up (empty the buffer)
this is normal behaviour, nothing to worry about
>>54489305
So just using tor will do ? I thought shits gonna be harder
If I'm building a completely new rig for gaming in the next month or so, do I want the 6600k or the 6700k? I might overclock it a little bit, but I've never done that before and I intend for the complete build to be around 1200 or so.
