My car has had battery problems ever since we bought it new, originally oil on the alternator recall didn't solve the problem since the free service fixed it and sealed the new alternator. Now what I am experiencing is a "zombie" like state.

The new battery is what the auto store recommended by make and model. Sometimes after returning to the car in the parking lot the gauges will be up and the nav screen will be on, but the car is not in AC/ON, but locked. When I try to start it won't do anything, then all of a sudden starts on its own, only seconds after trying.

No low battery messages nor any signs of a bad battery either.

Thoughts?

My PSU I bought for the rig last year randomly decides it's time to start working REALLY LOUD.

It depends on your drives available to you but here's how I have mine set up.

I have a 4tb HDD set up exclusively for porn. I have one folder on the root, labeled Z (you can use whatever unsuspicious name you want in the even you have snoopers in your vicinity i.e. gf, little brother, etc.) If you don't, just start here.

I then break it up into the following subdirectories:

Hentai
H-OVAs
Image Galleries
JAV
Western

In hentai goes H-manga, filenames are title of work-artist-translater group if translated.

In H-OVAs go two subdirectories: 3D and OVAs. In each are folders for every title, with related titles being within the same folder e.g. G:\Z\H-OVA\OVA\Taimanin Asagi - Series\Makai Kishi Ingrid.

In image galleries go image sets for 2D, organized by various means. Some are of characters while others are by artist, similar to the panda. Ecchi and cute are also compiled here, usually seperated into SFW and NSFW folders within a characters' folder.

JAV is organized by production company, and then simply the code. Image sets are within a seperate folder for image sets.

Western is organized by the actress.

As for torrents, I have a seperate 4tb for seeding so I can just leave the filenames and metadata as they are.

Opinions on apps? Apps in question are Naked Browser (pro I already bought a while ago when a friend gave me a $15 Google play card)

And Solid File Explorer.

Are they safe? As in ad free and not going to sell/collect data on me. Firefox has gotten slow recently. Takes almost 30 seconds to load pages at times even in wifi. ES explorer has let me down with their bloated mess and spying bullshit. Looking to move on.

Also recommendation for music app? Currently using Black Player and while OK, i m sure there are better. How is PowerAmp? Worth the money? Would appreciate feedback here guys.

Naked Browser is safe, although I prefer Lightning.

iirc, it was either Solid or ES that was safe and other is botnet was fuck, but I'd recommend Amaze over both of them anyway.

As for music players, I use Poweramp, definitely worth the money, although I've never used Black Player so I don't know how they stack up.

When I boot up my PC, my monitor doesn't show anything on it. It doesn't show the "no input" message either. So I unplug it from the monitor and plug it back in, it works fine. Shut off the PC, and the next time I boot, there's nothing on the screen. Unplugging the cable and plugging it back in fixes it, but I don't want to have to do that everytime I boot. Is it likely a problem with the cable? Or is it possibly the monitor or the computer?

Thanks for the input! And yea, it was ES that went full skynet. Forcing ads on you, offering a "charge booster" that was supposedly helping you but actually just hijacked your lock screen with ads.

I'll give power amp a try then and do my best to move over to Naked Browser. Only thing I'd miss is adblock add-on but from what I've read, NB is capable of that as well. Maybe this will prompt me to finally root my phone and get adaway.

Depends on what type of "job in IT" you are going for. Most large companies preferred entry level quals are A+, Network +, active directory, osx knowledge, Office(Excel specifically) and MTA.

Just get A+, Network+ and MTA. Should run around $1K and the fees are deductible.

Hey /g/ im still having this problem from before that navigating to the folder pictures via windows explorer is causing it to crash when i click on a folder or when i right click the pictures folder, however i can open up images in the main folder (as shown) and if i navigate by going e/pictures it wont crash (as show)>

Ive deleted thumbs.db so thats not the issue and it was working before.

When i tried to change the file originally it merged the screenshots folder, not that it makes a difference.

Also i changed the directory for pictures on the e drive to being called images, yet it still shows up from the pictures folder?

So, I'm fiddling with my cellphone, and trying to partition my sd card in it.

By using fdisk on a shell, I seem to have my sd card on two locations
/dev/block/vold/179:1
/dev/block/mmcblk0

But I can partition them separately, which makes no sense.
If I plug the cellphone and mount the sd card and partition it with fdisk on linux, the one that is changed is the vold/179:1, however the cellphone still recognizes the full sd card, with the mmcblk0 being untouched.

I am fucking confused, how the fuck do I partition this thing so I can install some apps directly on the sd card?

I have a samsung galaxy 5 btw.

third off, you're not storing the return value of getsinput anywhere.

here let me rewrite your code for you:

#include <stdio.h>

int gets_input(){
int num = 0;
puts("Enter a non-negative integer: ");
scanf("%d", &num);
return num;
}

int main(void){
int i = 0;
printf("Something...\n");
i = gets_input();

if( i < 0 ){
fprintf(stderr, "Invalid input! = %d", i);
i = gets_input();
} else {
printf("Results: %d", i);

If you're pushing any sort of load then yes, a good case fan at the front and back, one pulling in and the other pushing out will make a big difference. If your CPU isn't prone to heating up and you've got quite a ventilated case, and you're just shitposting on the internet or w/e then no.
>>
>>54506228
and a bonus question: how can I be sure that all my shit is going to fit inside the mATX case?
I mean compatibility of the components I can check but whether the physical dimensions might overlap is another thing, I know to use smaller form factor parts but it's still my biggest worry

Yeah have a 300r and currently dont have any panels or fans on it (besides cpu fan). Its just dead quiet right now which im loving so i didnt want to ruin it with fans.
>>
>>54506422
Fair enough. I'd suggest watching your temps and making sure your CPU isn't running too hot though

there are some really dead quiet fans you can get, personally i'd recommend Corsair AF140s which are pretty cheap. 140mm/lower RPM is really good for silence. Noctua and NZXT FXs are also very good.
>>
>>54504073
Noctua started their Redux line last year IIRC, they're gray and black. Or just get normal Noctuas.
Also, I would recommend SilenX fans. They're much cheaper, as quiet, but die in about six months if you run them at their rated voltage. I use the slim 80mm fans in my 250D because the h100 is Xbox hueg in there.

>>54507219
hard copy is redeemable steam codes usually. Bioshock hard copy made me install g4wl. I dont agree with steams practises although i agree its the most "transparent" client.

very simple

buy a micro atx motherboard and case and you can guarantee it will fit fine, like Im takling 100% guarantee. For the video card, check the length dimensions on their website and also look at your case website and check how much room you have. Of course you want to check fan slots and dimensions, but you'll be fine.

The audio channels should be in the same place on both TRS and TRRS making them compatible with each other. Worst case you need to build a converter that drops the additional pin.

Trouble arises when manuafcturers can't agree on if the mic/custom button is on the last ring or the sleeve, and build incomatible plugs and ports. I've only ran into incomatibilities with apple and Nokia earpuds.

Why does the mic have TRRS anyways? Does it have a hardware button or something?

it really doesn't matter
the only writes you're doing on a psp is saving your game, which is a couple megs or less

Is it at all possible for software to make WiFi connection weak?

I got a new phone the other day, WiFi worked fine and I was without issues. I went to root it and flashed some stock, rooted files with no other changes and for some reason, ever since, my WiFi signal on my phone is really poor. Most of the time it shows zero bars and sometimes I pick it up and it's just not connected at all and takes a while to connect again.

I'm not sure if it's my WiFi or the phone itself. Any ideas? One thing to note is that I'm in the UK and the stock image I flashed was more of a generic one as opposed to a UK one, but that supposedly shouldn't matter
