yesterday i could play video files that are on a network drive with mpc.
today it never opens them.
network is fine because i can open the files fine with a hex editor.
just what the fuck?
Have a core 2 duo e4500 on a 945gz asus mobo with 2 gb ddr2.
Obviously gtx titan will bottleneck it.
Obviously geforce 256 will not bottleneck it.
What is the sweet spot that the gpu will just be bottlenecked?
Hello /g/entleman,
I got me a ASUS ROG, and want to install Linux (Ubuntu) on it. I don't use this laptop for gaming so I don't care about "no gayms" on linux.
I wanted to ask if I will run into problems with the graphic-card or other components or is ubuntu finally stable enough for installing it on high-end systems?
Releveant specs:
> gtx 960m
> i7-6700HQ
>>54798085
nvm i figured it out
apparently i have to map the drive so it has a letter
\\yadayada confuses mpc.
>>54798085
try mpc-be
i've always had trouble with mpc-hc when playing files over the network
>>54798029
yea, the "1866MHz" is not true, in marketing terms that's the "effective" clock speed
DDR can do two transfers per clock cycle, so for 933MHz (true clock speed), you can do 1866MT/s (mega-transfers/second)
>>54798131
see this >>54798126
what's the difference between mpc-hc and be?
HP Omen or HP Beats edition? Kinda set on the Omen other than having no optical drive and a 256 gig SSD HD.. The Beats gfx suck though :[
>>54798123
you can't know before trying. Best way is to a live CD of ubuntu and give it a try (you can try it without installing it).
since it's an nvidia GPU, it should works fine out of the box (ubuntu use the proprietary drivers by default).
How can I calculate the wattage of my cpu given I have the live voltage? I know it's amp*v but I don't know the operational amperage of the cpu.
Alternatively, can anyone link me to something like a Kill-A-Watt meter for 220V? Everything I find is for 110V and the only one I found for 220V costs $90. Most kill-a-watts that do the job are like $20-50. I'd love to get accurate readings of what wattage idle devices and such are consuming, or even my pc under load.

I got windows 7 on a laptop I no longer use and one of my friend is going to build a computer and need windows.
Is there a way to gift him my windows copy so he can install it on his desktop ?
>>54798819
you can give him the key unless it's an OEM tied version.
>>54798847
how can I know if it's an OEM tied version ? and if so how can I get the key ? The laptop came with windows 7 already installed.
>>54798904
key should be on a sticker on the bottom of the laptop.
if it came preinstalled then it's an OEM version.
My computer will freeze randomly. IIRC it only happens when playing certain games. I was playing MGSV for 5 hours and bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt it froze and forced me to restart. When I play shit like Rocket League it doesn't freeze. My PC is 5 years old and this used to never ever happen. I upgraded my CPU a few months back and it still happens. Temperatures are fine. My PC isn't using too much power. Maybe it's my motherboard or hard drive or power supply dying from age? They're 5 years old now. Could it be that I upgraded to Windows 10 (didn't do a clean install either)? I'm thinking of saying "fuck it!" and doing a clean install of Windows 7. This never happened on Windows 7, but it didn't start to happen on Win10 until months after I upgraded to it. But when I upgraded I didn't do a clean install. Could that be the issue? And does M$ let me downgrade? I still have my key, but I'm afraid something jewy will happen if I try to do a fresh install.

What's a good android tablet nowadays for around 200 buckaroos? Looking for:
-Something real fast if possible. Need to basically show things quick.
-Good battery life
-7 or 8 inch screen size
-Expandable storage

I started using in-ear ear buds for my desktop when my headphones broke. Now both ears are completely plugged up and I'm going to have to go to a clinic and get my ears flushed out. I have a suspicion using those in-ear ear buds for hours every day might be doing is. Has this happened to anyone else?

Does a web site actually gain any advantage from using shit like jQuery? Obviously less strain on machine if it loads what needed when the user scrolls to a certain part of the site, but what I mean if, for example, a news site has a basic html but it loads the actual news article using jQuery instead of including it in the basic html. Is it simply useless ricing or is it advantegous in some way to the server side?
>>54798997
indesign it is, thank you.
>>54799116
You want me to ask my doctor if it's ever happened to him?

not sure I understand your question, are you confusing jquery with something else?
jquery is a tool for developers that provides simplified functions to do stuff.
I was advised to try and use the Libre as a report system which will be based on ERP views from the AX dynamics SQL database.
My goal is to create views in the DB and use the Libre as a report viewer.
Any advice/optimization tips?
>>54799106
The ear plugs probably simply stuffed the already existant ear wax closer to your ear drum. Clean your ears more often. Buy a water pump that's made for this purpose from your local pharmacy and avoid q-tips.

>>54799290
I thought it was a language/tool/script used for fetching shit from databases in dynamic fashion. I was probably wrong.
/whois is not working in irssi
>>54799302
I think you mean ajax with which you can send data asynchronously back to the server.
The database fetching has to be done by the servers backend and not javascript itself.
If you have a lot of hits on your site and you only dynamically fetch the data once the user scrolls down you can potentially lower the server strain compared to loading data all the time even if the user would have never seen it.
Also loading new content dynamically needs lower bandwidth since the article text is much smaller than sending the entire page every time.
Other frameworks like angular/ember/react, where you have the entire page rendered dynamically, makes writing and maintaining dynamic pages easier.
Hey.
I've got a laptop with a broken screen that I plugged into my TV via HDMI. I noticed it was completely fucked with viruses and shit. I figured it'd be easier to do a system restore than to manually fix everything.
So I went to do a full restore, and I'm not sure when exactly, but it stopped displaying on my TV.
Anything I can do to fix it? I've tried fucking with the FN keys and shit. It won't even show the mobo manufacturer screen on my TV. Just says no signal.
It runs Windows 8.1 if it matters.
Thank you.

I have an old playstation 3 i plan to turn into a server. Is its 256 mb of ram enough to output a stream of 1080p video? How did sony make this bastard run GTA5 when my pc with 8gb of ram, an I5-4460 and 4gb of vram from a sapphire r9 290 tri-x chokes on it.
>>54799618
None. Just upgrade your stuff and install the new drivers. Either with Device Manager or from manafacturer websites.

After installing a new r7 360 video card my monitor turns off and on intermittently. If I turn it off and on manually it stops but I think this has something to do with the fact that I can't run any game.

But I heard that it requires you to activate your W10 when you upgrade since it is tied to your hardware.
I was worried since I don't obviously have an activation key I think.
But thanks about the Drivers, didn't know if I had to uninstall them beforehand or so since I'm using the same storage.
>>54800103
Did you get your drivers installed correctly?
Also, did your hardware meet the requirements for this new video card?
I'm having a really hard time trying to understand whats wrong with my Shield Portable. I updated it to 5.1 Lollipop, re-rooted, and started noticing issues running games on it. They're all terrible generic android games but I keep reading that supposedly people on normal phones are running them perfectly.
My Shield is impossibly slow for what its advertised to be and I even locked the cpu to its highest clock speed in trickstermod and its still slow as hell in things it should ace. It seems most people don't have a problem like this, because I can't find much information regarding Shield Portable issues in 5.1 that aren't related to an odd gamestream bug. I don't really wanna revert back to Kitkat, but this is infuriating. Is there anything I can do?
>>54800132
You know that there's an activation key embedded into your registry, right?
>>54800155
I didn't know that for W10, obviously for W7, W8.
I did searches beforehand - and it said you don't have an activation key, but a digital entitlement.
But if this is the case, I would be thankful - where exactly can I find this in the Reg?
>>54800143
I downloaded and installed the drivers from gigabyte's site. I also uninstalled intel HD graphics( I did it in that order).

html, css, java, and python are all good starting points.
Codecademy doesn't have any c based languages, so http://csharp.net-tutorials.com/ might be good for getting a feel for that.
Important to note, once you get into the fundamentals of any language (like structure and data manipulation) that they can be applied to several other languages, especially C based ones.

How do 3d engines work?
Let's say you have a bunch of triangles in 3d space. The way I imagine to project those onto the screen is to do either
- Project every coordinates of the triangles into 2d space using an appropriate projection and then drawing those 2d triangles starting from the furthest away
- Cast test rays for every pixel of the screen and check with what triangle they collide and then return a color to render.
I imagine the first possibility sucks because you will draw lots of triangles that you won't see anyway and the second possibility sucks because you have to check collision with every triangle on the screen for every test ray.

Google indexes sites by many different features and specifications. One of them is how fast the page loads. if you don't load any articles on actual page load, but then do it `on demand` then you get a good score for page loads and your site gets bumped up higher than a competitor, which means a fuck ton.

Where do I find high quality power cables and "lengthening" cables. I want to build a compact PC before college parts with some horsepower to it. But I need better cables that I can manage along with one of those PCI cables so I can mount my graphics card parallel to the motherboard to save space.
I've never built a pc like this but any advice would be sweet. Is watercooler a necessity? I've done AIO before but not a custom loop. A custom loop would be fun as hell to do.

I have a 10000 mAh/10Ah power bank
So when the Internet says rpi uses 500mA on average and assume it just uses 500mA constantly, does that mean it uses 500mA per hour which translates to 20 hours of use?

So I need a bot or program that compares prices in 2 different websites that are in different currencies.
I have a basic understanding of programming and I think I could do it, but I don't know how to begin or if there is any bot that does this kind of thing already.
Any one can just point me what language/program I should try? It really doesnt seems hard, but I just don't know where to start.
How can I calculate the wattage of my cpu given I have the live voltage? I know it's amp*v but I don't know the operational amperage of the cpu.
Alternatively, can anyone link me to something like a Kill-A-Watt meter for 220V on amazon? Everything I find is for 110V and the only one I found for 220V costs $90. Most kill-a-watts that do the job are like $20-50. I'd love to get accurate readings of what wattage idle devices and such are consuming, or even my pc under load.

So my question is should I spend ~150€ atm for a watch or an SSD? The next thing I'd buy would be after August. For the record, looking at Withings Activitee Steel (I'm aware of shitty reviews).

Why does my PC refuse to work after uninstalling or upgrading an Nvidia driver?
Whenever I uninstall my Nvidia driver (by using DDU/driver sweeper in safe mode), my PC freezes at the login screen. Sometimes the login screen will be working fine, and as soon as I start to type something into the password box the PC freezes.
I've had this problem in the past with other Nvidia drivers too, and if I want to update to a later driver my solution is usually to completely reinstall Windows 10, and then the driver installs and works nicely. But I don't want to have to do that forever. I don't have to update my driver right now either, but I don't want this to be a problem down the road.
Also I used bluescreenviewer and it seems "hal.dll" and "ntoskrnl.exe" were somehow involved in the crashes.
>>54802633
How far away would be another 150 euros ?
If you buy watch now and SSD after half a year or a year, it will be either cheaper or better for the same price, while a watch will cost the same, but arguably SSD is more useful than a watch
Don't buy fashion brand watches though, please

I want both equally, but on the summer I won't get much PC time so there's an advantage there. Maybe I'll just leave it to lady luck as you said.
>>54802680
You're right about the price point. The particular watch also is an activity tracker but that's secondary for me. I won't be using my PC a lot for the summer so I'll buy the next item on September

In that case, buy an SSD first

"mA" is the power being used in an instance
"mAh" is capacity (total amount of power)
"10000mAh" means, in theory, a 10000mA drain will last 1 hour (or a 500mA drain will last 20 hours)
the rpi doesn't use exactly 500mA all the time, it depends on how it's used (like most computers)

No
RAM module is 64-bits bus. Still runs at whatever rated MHz speed no matter what. Add a second RAM module and you've effectively gone 128-bit. Anyway, RAM bandwidth isn't a limitation for many practical applications.

Not enough information to say. 9dBi doesn't tell me what kind of antenna, and you didn't say what kind of router.

So I´m looking to buy a new 4K Tv, in teh spec sheet it says it has 3 HDMI ports with HDCP 2.2, but doesnt say the version of the port itself(1.4. 2.0)

game does not properly support more than 2 cores and hit your CPU limit.
hey, filthy casual here, i just bought a Dell Latitude and tried to hook it up to my tv, but there are problems
1: the picture on the tv only appare when i close the laptop
2: the sound comes only from the laptop, not the tv
3: the picture that shows on the tv is way too big for the screen
I dont know what to do, can any of you help
>>54804179
press windows-p or go into the monitor settings to mirror/use only the TV.
change audio device to HDMI in the audio playback settings.
look for underscan in your graphics card options.

In Windows 10 when I search for something it's looking inside hidden folders. How to do tell it not to?
Does every item need to be hidden? That seems like a serious flaw. Or at least a serious annoyance.

Move to suitable folders by content.

it searches what you want to see, if you enabled to show hidden folders, then it will search those.
