Has anyone here ever built in a Lian Li case? I'm no ricer, I just want a windowless, minimal case with good cooling.
>>54658783
I used to work for a computer shop and the owner would only use Lian Li cases due to them being aluminum and therefore wouldn't rust in the coastal town I live in.
I found them decent enough to work with and never had any issues with them.

So I have a bit of trouble with how my dad handles his shit
He has this old computer he's used to with little old Windows XP on it, it's not connected to internet. He uses that just for a single purpose: old versions of software related to copying DVD movies and ripping music from CDs. He's too used to it. Tools like really old versions of Nero, Alcohol 120%, CloneDVD, AnyDVD and so on that aren't really compatible with something like Windows 7 for obvious reasons.
Issue is, this old PC is dying because he doesn't really treat his shit well either. And now he's annoyed at the fact that if he's going to buy a new computer he might not be able to use XP due to newer hardware being compatible only with newer versions of Windows.
I kinda want him to instead adapt to something that won't keep him there. Anything will do, Windows 7, Windows 10, any linux distro. I just don't think it's going to be worth a shit for him to go buy a specific more modern computer that he can use to dual boot into anything usable and XP alongside that.
Tell me, how can I help him beat this baby duck syndrome and maybe replace his old software with something that will be just simple enough for him to do these tasks?

So im looking at building my first computer
one of my main concerns is to do with the motherboard having issues fitting into the case
Is there a way to tell which cases can fit which motherboards in
>inb4 size
the website im looking to buy from dont have size measurements for the motherboards, but they do for the cases.
>>54659379
doesnt 7 have something like "xp mode" meaning that it can run any xp program?
>>54659628
The general rule of thumb is that an ATX will fit in any ATX case, micro will fit in micro ATX cases, etc. Some full ATX cases can also fit micros via movable stand-offs within the case. Find a mobo size you want first then search for the cases. I think that pc part picker automatically checks size for you.

>>54659587
i looked up the drivers for the ROG-G751JY on asus's site and only found 8.1/10 drivers.
i would assume the hardware would work with windows 7 as long as youre willing to fish out all the drivers from each manufacturer's page
DQMOT though
also, removing the win10 nags and adding classic shell to 8.1 makes it an alright "botnet 10" alternative :^)

Are HGST's really as good as people make them out to be?
>>54659899
what you'd really be "missing out on" are whatever tools asus provides for 8.1 and 10
make sure you have a way to reset back to stock 8.1 (disk, restore usb.. something), then try installing 7 to see if it works, otherwise just fall back to 8.1

How does strtok actually works ? I don't mean how to use it, it's pretty easy, the thing is that you call the function once telling it what are the delimiters. Then you call it as many time as you want to get the strings between each delimiter. How does it remember the delimiters and where it was on your string ?

I used CM for years and about 6 months ago I reverted back to stock. When I first switched over, it was pretty much the same experience except without some of the little CM tweaks.
Right now I'm getting some packages ready so I can go back to CM. I'm also going to install a proper adblocker because I'm thinking that maybe running some of those shitty ad scripts in Chrome is contributing to the battery killing/resource usage.
It just seems a little suspicious that it slowed down relatively recently, suddenly and rapidly. I don't really touch the Play store at all, I've been using the same apps forever.
How can I reduce signal to my modem?
I moved to a different room so the cables are different. I put a splitter and I have my tv and modem connected to it. The tv works fine but the modem won't connect to comcasts servers. The modem reports levels as high as 53. I can plug directly from the wall and it will work. I tried two different splitters.
This is a specific question about Plays.tv recording software.
For some reason all the sounds are fine but my voice, it's extremely quiet and i'm not sure why. I've tried all the standard stuff such as checking audio levels; and on skype my voice can be heard just fine by other people, it's just with plays.tv.
I can post example if needed.

Anons that were lurking about this time yesterday may remember me. I had a /wsr/ thread on this topic but the thread died. I've been having random PC freezes / crashes. Clean drivers, all hardware is plugged in correctly, nothing seems physically damaged.
Somebody suggested I live-boot an OS using a USB drive because it could be a SATA problem. I haven't done that yet, because I need to go buy a new USB drive.
What I DID do however, was remove my crappy power strip, and plug straight into the wall. So far the pc has been on for about an hour with no issues. Could a cheap ass power strip / surge protector really be culprit? If say, the power was insufficient for a split second, would that cause the whole pc to lock up?

I'm sick of expensive canned air that runs out quickly and I've heard a lot of suggestions to get a Datavac. Is this little model the one to get, the bigger canister one, or is another brand similar device like Xpower Airrow or CompuCleaner better?
>>54662157
I was thinking about getting one of these and have been considering it for like a decade. I have an airbrush compressor though I can blow air with and then can use a duster internally. I've used normal vacuums before with no issues too.
Overall I feel paranoid and that I should get an antistatic vac, but its never been an issue and they seem awfully expensive and not necessairly worth it.
>>54662157
Datavac is the standard, dunno how those other brands are. I have this one and it's been pretty good so far.

Thanks guys. I guess I'm undecided between the big one and the little one. I don't really care about the suck function, I don't intend to use that inside my computer so I can use my normal hoover for that. I'd be willing to pay the ~20 bucks extra for the big one if it blows better or is more durable. But I'm kinda turned off by the extra bulk and consumable bags vs. a rinseable filter.

My phone's got a busted headphone jack and work sucks without music to keep me distracted. I'm looking into a bluetooth reciever for a cheap solution rather than buying wireless headphones since I already have several pairs of decent headphones around.
Anyone have any experience with these? As of now I was looking at http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00P20TFWM/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile
>>54662598
Pretty much. A 770 is just a hair more powerful than a 960, so you should be getting decent performance on that already. If you really, really, really need to game to have all those sliders to the right and keep a locked 60 fps, you kinda need a gtx 980 / 1070 or r9 390x overclocked. Polaris is being announced june 1st though. Wait for that at least.
also what clock speed is that cpu running at? Did you really buy a "k" series processor and leave it stock clocks?
>>54662669
I don't get as good fps as I used to when I first got this rig. Doesn't quite run newer games at anything but lowest/barely medium. Not sure if this tells you anything I don't know anything about overclocking as I didn't want to fuck it up. But I think i'm going to dick around with overclocking my shit so I can run things again. Scared about overclocking because my pc is basically a space heater and I don't know if overclocking at these temps are safe.
>>54662720
space heater? that cpu shouldn't run that hot. Not sure about the 770 if that's an inherently hot card or not. What are your temps? Are your fans properly cleaned? Has it been more than 18 months since you put on thermal paste? Does your case have good air flow?
So, we have a spare laptop that we want to use as a media PC, but the screen was broken, so I removed the entire display and it works to boot to an external monitor just fine.
But it still detects it's nonexistent display and outputs the splash screen and bios to the nonexistent screen.
>Is there a way to permanently disable the nonexistent display so everything gets forced to it's video output?
I need to get to the BIOS to change boot settings.
>>54662754
Case has shit airflow and the everything is clogged to shit with dust. I'm going to clean it soon. Could you tell me about overclocking though?
>>54662786
If your case has shit air flow, and if it's not just the fault of dust, buy a new case. You have very good mid-range parts in there, with only the gpu being a little dated.
>>54662512
Nevermind. Already figured out and solved the issue.
>>54662652
I've used one, BT is easy enough to use but the sound quality is ass. But if you're just using it for background noise then it might be suitable. If you want good sound quality you might be able to use a USB DAC with your phone, but you probably won't be able to charge the phone simultaneously. Which can be a problem because the DAC will drain your battery faster.
But aside from that, I think those are your only options other than fixing the jack. I've actually also done that before on an old Galaxy Nexus, and it's really not that difficult. Some phones are somewhat modular when you open them up, so you might only need to order a little board with a jack on it.
>>54662795
I was going to clean it and make it look real nice but I was discouraged since i'm not really able to run anything anymore. So I thought what was even the point.
>>54662817

Hello /g/, I'm giving advice to my mom about buying a new laptop for her. She is also getting input from her brother about laptops. She does daily computing for work, and doesn't play any games or anything. Basic web browsing and word processing and whatnot. We have basically gotten it down to two choices, it's between this (http://www.microcenter.com/product/461006/Aspire_E5-574-58JM_156_Laptop_Computer_-_Charcoal_Gray?ob=1) and pic related, but without a touchscreen, so it's only 799. I have been telling her to get the acer one, but her brother says that it isn't that good, and she should get the dell one. I figure the ram difference is basically nothing, and she doesn't need a blazing fast ssd. What do you guys recommend?
>>54662817
Yeah the sound quality being ass isn't too big a deal to me since I'm not using very good headphones at work anyways.

It is connected on both sides and it's not damaged because it works with another laptop and a PS3.
The PC does recognizes there's a TV connected through HDMI, it does says it's enabled, it even says all the information from the monitor (like the brand, model and other stuff) but still gives no signal through HDMI, although it detects something is transmitting.
>>54664315
as said, with the source or not, if they want to exploit it will be the same.
Just learn how to program properly. Make something easy to read, commented, maintainable, avoid using unsecured things (for example, avoid using a scanf that will permit a buffer overflow attack).

Here comes the HHKB meme squad.
>>54664693
Eh... Depends on how you define "worth it" really. I own one myself but I'd never really tell someone that it's something they absolutely must get. It's just kind of a luxury upgrade for a part of the computer that gets a hell of a lot of interaction with the user, if you have the cash to spare and nothing else you really need to upgrade then it might be nice for a minor quality-of-life improvement. Otherwise, if there's pretty much any other part of your rig that you think could use upgrading, I'd say do that first.
So I have a shitty, shitty tablet that works well only with Windows 8 as I experienced. Updating to 8.1 or 10 makes it slow and clunky as shit. I am now returning to that system because I have no other option. Linux just doesn't like this tablet either.
However there's something heavily concerning: the moment I connect it to internet, aside from being of course exposed to shit because it's no longer being updated, it will probably try to force windows 8.1 into it. Any way to prevent that specific update? I recall that when 8.1 came out, I had to actually download the update manually from the store, but I would guess now it's going to just show up on Windows update.
Does anyone know what I should prevent specifically? I won't be connecting it to internet much because I'm probably at not much less risk than using fucking XP and from what I understand the tools I require work just fine on 8 as they did on 7 or 8.1.
It's just this fucking piece of trash tablet that I wish to throw but I don't throw gifts.
>>54665821
Does that happen on tablets? Yeah, on desktops Microsoft will ratfuck you when you least expect it and sneak an upgrade in, but I'd think they'd know that tablets are a different thing and compatibility can be an issue so they shouldn't try to force upgrades on the user.
>>54665850
I would guess so. Windows 8 doesn't have any more updates as I understand it, so they probably tried hard to have the latest ones try to upgrade the whole system.
I mean I can understand it for most people, 8.1 was an improvement on any computer I put my hands on, just not this one and I know not what the fuck is going on with that.
What do you guys use for monitoring apache server traffic and getting statistics from logs?
Personally, I monitor current traffic by good oldtail -f access.log | grep <shit I need>. Is there a more efficient way?
As for the stats, do I just untar all access.log* files, cat them and pipe that to grep, sed or whatever? Or is there a good command-line tool for doing this?
Does brand of thermal paste matter? Is there anything I should look out for, or are they all pretty much the same?
I have an extremely bizarre issue. Doubt anyone will have an answer but it's really pissing me off.
A few days ago, youtube-dl stopped working. When I try to run it, nothing happens. Basically the CMD window freezes. Pic related is what I get when I cancel the command with ctrl+C.
Now, the weird part is that when I go to the actual youtube-dl.exe file in explorer and right click it, the context menu takes about 10 seconds to open. Doesn't happen with any other files, even those in the same folder.
And this is where it gets really abnormal: if I go to my secondary hard drive where I have a backup of all my files and right click on youtube-dl.exe there, the same context menu delay occurs. Again no other files, even those in the same folder as youtube-dl.exe, suffer this 10 second context menu delay.
What the utter fuck is going on? This is such a strange issue that I don't have even the slightest idea what's going on. Is Microsoft working in cahootz with Google to block the program discretely on Windows 10 or something?

I have a problem of .exe files not starting under Windows 8.1 N (with media pack update installed). Whenever I double click or open cmd and type "start name.exe" nothing happenes, just mouse icon shows that something is processing but nothing is visible under task manager.
At the same time, the very same applications run at Windows 7 and Windows 10, all three being 64 bit ones.
The programs in question are all made in Pascal, two compiled with Lazarus (Free Pascal) and other unknown (probably Turbo Pascal), if that changes something.
How can I check, what prevents them from running?

How resource intensive is editing 4K and 6K footage?
We have a video editor complaining that his 2010 Mac Pro simply isn't capable of editing 4K footage, which results in his computer getting a lot of kernel panics and crashes whenever he tries, and while he makes a lot of valid points, I seem to be split either way.
On one hand, with 4K and 6K footage, you're pushing a lot of data, but besides any sort of hardware acceleration in Adobe Premiere, there shouldn't be anything special with the footage.
And in regards to video editing, what advantage would a workstation card like a Quadro or FirePro have over literally the GTX 680 they shoved in there that's probably causing the kernel panics?
I'm so lost as what to do. I replaced my splitter trying to fix this issue. Can anyone look at these logs and give me an idea for why I'm losing packets and I'm only getting 1Mbps when I'm supposed to get 120Mbps?

2nd Logisys grabage @ 500w
a week ago after about a 6hr gamin session my PC died, the PSU was rediculously hot. It burnt out some how, I figured the fan might of died and it over heated...
So I put in a PSU I know worked fine, booted up, back into the same game, 4 hrs later the Pc dies again, again the psu is somewhat hot but not as bad as the first time.
After letting them cool down neither one will power up anymore.
I figured there may be a short somewhere so I completely disassembled it, didnt see anything obvious, dusted everything.
Now this just came in the mail. and I'm hesitant to install it. I was plugging it into a power strip about half plugs used.

I've always just used 60/40 rosin-core solder. Always get rosin core, it's so much easier to work with. As far as thickness, I can't be specific because I don't have my stuff in front of me. I generally prefer thinner, though. Even more finer, if surface mount. I GREATLY prefer solder with lead. It melts a lot nicer, and I just enjoy how shine-y it looks. I find lead-free harder to work with. Get some soldering braid so you can fix mistakes. Soldering flux pen is super helpful if what you are soldering is really dirty, also good for reworking. I'd get the no clean kind, or water soluble.
These are all my opinions, though, you may end up liking other stuff as you do more.
