How do I make Windows 10 look like this?
i want to learn electronics repair. i figure i need a rework station and multimeter at minimum, anything else i need? whats the cheapest good bits of kit i can get? i dont want to sink several hundred on hobby equipment atm
I just got a new hard drive that I plan on using externally. What's the best method I can use to protect my data? Maybe a password system for a few folders?

Ran ccleaner yesterday (yeah pretty fucking stupid apparently) and it ended up killing chrome, locking me out of firefox, and it even fucked up minor things like not letting me save pictures to the "my pictures" folder anymore. All around assfest, basically.
I want to do a system restore and I have to restore points available from the the second of this month, however when I try either of them it spits this at me
"System Restore failed to extract the file (C:\) from the restore point. An unspecified error occurred during System Restore. (0x8000ffff)"
I googled this and tried a few fixes but they didn't work, llike allocating more space for the restore point, or doing system restore while in safe mode.
I'm completely fucking lost and I'm too stupid for my own good, anything, even insults are appreciated.
>>54964819
forgot pic, these are the ones that spit the error
Extremely stupid question incoming, but bare with me. I deal with movie editing and my superiors have spoiled me - they've got me a Thinkstation P310 with a Xeon E3 1245V5. Now, no gaming GPUs can fit in there, but is there a Quadro card that can do 1440p gaming with newest games? Or is there anything else, than a Quadro that can fit in there and can do 1440p gaming?

if you can boot windows, try using the windows upgrade tool from your windows disk/flash drive
if not, fresh install

i cant recommend a book but i can recommend louis rossmanns channel on youtube
>>54964858
Yeah I'm fully on windows and everything, some things are just busted like chrome (permafucked apparently, have tried installing/reset to default/deleting user profile etc).
I'll try to use the windows upgrade tool, will that act in the same way as a system restore before everything was fucking busted? I'm not sure if it would fix my chrome problems, though.

any difference between mATX and ATX except for size and pci slots?
I always used ATX so far so I'm not sure if I'll miss out on anything by switching to mATX.
>>54965032
ATX boards are less likely to include video connectors, so you can't fall back on intel graphics if your GPU fails. If you plan to use only one video card at a time, there's probably no downsides to a micro board.

It says it comes with 4 x 3 SATA Cables, I'm running an HDD and SSD and the SDD is on the cable management side of the case. Does this has enough cables to run Sata data and sata power to both?

Does anyone have those ?
My download speeds are fucked, on multiple test sites my speeds seem to be fine, generally 4+mb/s, but in practice my speeds fluctuate between a 3-5mb all the way down to a few hundred kb or even nothing like in the picture. im pretty sure its nothing i can fix my self, as my ISP sucks and has tons of issues, but is there any way i can find out what/where the issue is? Had the exact same issues a month ago right before i upgraded my service. After upgrade issues were mysteriously fixed
>>54965206
those are cables for a modular power supply, there is no sata data cable included. those are only sata power.
I want to install wine, how do I do that.
I'm using windows 8.
Got a question about DNS resolution because what my teacher wrote in her study material contradicts what I found through 9000 hours in Google.
So my teacher wrote that when requesting an address, your computer asks the closest (preferred) DNS server, which in turn (if it can't resolve the URL itself) forwards the request to its closest hierarchical parent which forwards again and so on.
What the internet says, is that the request isn't just forwarded until it's resolved but bounces between your preferred DNS and incrementally higher DNS servers.
So which is it?
>>54965229
wine is a windows emulator for unix based operating systems so that they can run windows programs.
your first step is installing virtualbox and then gentoo
after that you install wine
>>54965226
That's what I thought, so I'd have to buy 2 data braided cables then to keep the look.
The problem is the SSD is soooo far away.
>>54965221
taken a few mins after that picture. speeds have gradually gotten better, and now seem to be stabilizing, at least on steam. my torrents still arent even hitting 1mb/s. both have a decent bit of seeders, and no one else has had any issues with horrible speeds on these torrents

About UDP communication in C, it says right there that the client doesn't need to be ACTIVELY receiving to get datagrams, which makes 0 sense because if that was the case then what the fuck is recvfrom() supposed to do?
>>54964858
Just wondering, when I do the "upgrade" choice instead of the fresh install, what exactly goes into that? Wouldn't keeping all the stuff the upgrade says it keeps just keep the problem?
My main problems are:
Chrome not saving passwords or keeping me logged into sites even though I've done everything possible (if you bring it up, I've done it believe me) to fix that
System restores not working
Can't save files in stupid places that I always could, like saving pictures in "my pictures"
>>54965252
No, I need wine under windows, not under a VM.

A video card consumes too much power apparently, but if a card can consume 300W is only on heavy gaming, right? If I am shitposting then my consumption is lower and it is always consuming a lot?
If yes, is there a way to turn the video card off without opening the case and taking the cables out and use the integrated graphics until I really need it turned on again?
Is dual boot as great as it sounds?

Can wine run under cygwin?
>>54965294
not the person you replied to but:
not 100% sure as i havent looked into the specifics of it, but i think upgrade just affects your windows files/folders. if ccleaner somehow managed to fuck some of that up (seems like it could of considering your restores wont work, cant save files in certain locations, etc.) then it will hopefully be fixed with the upgrade option. if you do that and the issue persists, you might have to reinstall every affected program (im guessing youve tried that though), and maybe even do a fresh install of windows. using DBAN or something similar on the HD before reinstalling might fix the issue too
>>54965349
you run 2 or more oses instead of 1

Alright, so I'm gonna go ahead and do the upgrade.
Last question to anyone who can answer for now, would using the "upgrade" throw in allll the updates I've locked out (I've got all my windows update stuff turned to never update because of windows 10) and stick me with all those updates containing the windows 10 ad stuff, or even INSTALL windows 10?

>A video card consumes too much power
get a better psu? really powerful card + shitty psu that cant even supply half the power the card needs = tons of issues
if you built the machine yourself, you probably shouldnt of
if you bought a "pre built" one from a store or something, you definitely shouldnt of
>if a card can consume 300W is only on heavy gaming, right?
dont think so. not entirely sure, but i think it pulls all that power no matter what, or at least somewhat close to that (like 250 when not under a heavy load/idling). Unless the card is set up to idle at low consumption and disable certain parts/features that require more power.
> is there a way to turn the video card off without opening the case
theres a way to choose what card to use, or set a preferred/default one, but i dont remember what it is. why not just unplug the power cable going to the card? it shouldnt be too hard, and if you post a picture of the inside of the pc people can help you find what cord to unplug
You should probably look this up, im pretty much pulling stuff out of my ass here because im too lazy to check it, so im probably completely wrong

No, as in, thunderstorm blackout surges are too powerful for any surge protection measures the motherboard can handle, and you shouldn't be on the computer during a thunderstorm? No as in, no you can't tell how good the surge protection is? No as in, it's not an issue, stop whining?
So I've got an Ubuntu install that I installed from the minimal CD. I only installed the basic system utilities and I've got i3 and my normal programs set up. I'm try to get network-manager set up and running so I can use my VPN but it's being a huge pain in the ass. When I open the applet and create a new wired connection, I have internet access but in the network manager it shows that it's never been used. Whenever I use the CLI for network manager it shows that the ethernet interface is unmanaged and I can't activate a new connection. I'm guessing something else is managing connections but I'm not sure where to go from here.

in order of easiest to hardest:
plug it in and see if your pc reads it
go to pcpartpicker.com, put your computer's specs in there, add the ram, see if it says theres issues
google "how to find out if ram is compatible with my computer", click one of first few links, read, ???, profit
I was sent this text message. Does anyone know what it means? It is associated with [email protected]
Is there any way to find information associated with the number? I already searched using google and a basic, free reverse number search, but couldn't find anything....
Any better alternative to FBReader for Android? I mostly read epubs.
>>54965706
Software like cpuid can tell you about your hardware. You need to know type of RAM (DD3 or DD4), speed, and timings. I think that's it. Sometimes two different brands with the same specs will cause BSOD when they should work. It happened when a Windows admin arbitrarily decided the COO's all-in-one needed more that day when it already had already had twice peak.

Your 'preferred' DNS usually just works like a cache for commonly requested NS lookups. If your request isn't in the cache, your 'preferred' server will look it up in its authoritive server. Else, it would be able to dynamically choose and update the best entries to cache.

1. By rapidly I mean sth like 10-20°C/min which isn't really destructive right?
2. Air temp 40°C + Putdoor usage under sunlight, simply listening to music can already bring the phone temp to v. high
HDD Guardian lists a couple of my hard drives as being SATA 2.6 even though on the product page they're listed as SATA 3.0.

How can I change which font 4chan uses? It's using Arial because I have Windows fonts installed but it looks ugly.
>>54967757
You can hold it in something with high specific heat and contact area. I wouldn't worry about it. If you're alive, your phone will probably be fine. Silicon is way more heat tolerant than protein.
Whats the easiest way of installing Windows 10 on a computer with no OS?
>>54967812
Tolerant, yes, but after certain temperature it would shut down itself and I can no longer continue listen to music/radio. And my phone is not rooted so O can't change the threshold temperature

Browser settings

You can also use custom css if you want to apply certain fonts only to certain websites, but not change your overal look on everything else

Then you want to keep it cool, not cool it rapidly. That's just ducking stupid.

>still buying RAM sticks
Nigger, everyone is downloading RAM illegally now. The FBI thinks it can stop us, but they can't cause we are legion, we are invincible. A group of Anonymous hackers have found a way to hack the CIA's RAM and upload it online. Now they are sharing it at http://downloadmoreram.com/. But the CIA is trying to take the site down so I suggest you download as much RAM as possible before we return to a RAM stick dominated capitalist society.

So I bought some wireless headphones and I'm able to pair them with my phone easily, but my computer (windows 10) refused to pair it. I've checked and updated all my drivers and I've restarted everything in vain hope that it would work but not a damn thing has. It just shows up an an unknown device. Pic related
Hey /g/. I've been working on craigslisting a home audio system after my previous hand-me-downs failed. Right now I have polk audio ii monitor 30s, and a denon avr-4800, and still working on the turntable. I hadn't set anything up in a while, so I decided to try it all out tonight. I have an RCA to AUX Cable to test out the sound from my laptop/phone. However, once hooked up (what I think is) correct, the sound that gets produced sounds like a muffled laptop speakers with the volume turned all the way up, but half as quiet. If I try to turn it up any more, it clips and the receiver shuts off. I have no idea what the issue is. The banana plugs I'm using were supposed to come with some sort of clamp, but those are missing, but the little spike that goes into the speaker wire is still holding the wire in place, so I don't think that's the issue. What could be my issue here? I wasn't under the impression that the AVR4800 needed a pre-amp, but was I wrong? What the hell is going on?

Trying to get into cryptography so i'm learning a little modern algebra.
Pic related is the Cayley Table dihedral group of 8 elements (symmetries of a square). This doesn't look like any Cayley table I've ever seen (though I'm new to this sort of math).
It looks as though theyve dropped the header rows and columns, which makes sense as beginning the first rows and columns with the identity makes it clear what the elements are. But what are the red and white little boards above and to the left?
Also, why do we have numbers instead of the typical notation (I've seen r for rotation, s for flip about axis of symmetry, and all sorts of variants of the two, but never numbers)
In fact, there is a lot going on here I'm not familiar with. Can someone help me navigate what is being conveyed here?

I suggest reading a tcpdump tutorial or two.
>>54968870
I suppose I could do that, thanks for the tip
Hey /g/ what would be the best monitor to dualscreen?
If you read the tcpdump tutorial and you're left with no idea what the fuck you're reading, then you need to learn basic networking, (OSI Model, etc).
If you're not sure why tcpdump is related then https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc896 .
If you still have questions, you could try asking help at #networking at freenode.net
>>54968837
>What is it actually doing?
It tries to reduce the amount of data sent for each bit of information by stockpiling data segments until it receives an acknowledgement from the last transfer.
>Why do some games say to disable it for better latency?
Honestly if you're sending data that small and don't need the 100% reliability of TCP you're better off with UDP (which is what most games use anyway).
How do I make a set of stored log tables in a program.
I want to see if it's faster to pre-calculate as many logs as possible and just spit out a value from an array or to calculate all of those values when they're needed.
I know how to do all of the other parts, but I don't know how I can map infinite numbers to a finite amount of pre-calculated logs.

if you sent an airplane for every person who arrives at the airport the congestion would be huge, thats why the plane waits for a big quantity of passangers to "fill" or at least half-fill the plane before taking off, this ensures there is less congestion.

Contacted recently by an old client/friend of mine whose wife is getting harassed via email. He wants me to try and figure out who is doing it. He's an old dude who pulled some strings to help me out and a really valuable reference, but I mainly just do physical PC repairs until I'm through with college.
Any tips? He's gonna be sending me the harassing e-mail address, content of the emails, and some possible culprits' info.
I figured I'd look for each one's social media, maybe find some associative trends in the email address (assuming its not completely random), try some possible passwords, etc. Mostly social engineering stuff.
>>54969165
That will work if the person who did it is a complete idiot
>>54969205
The guy is at least 60. It wouldn't be out of the question that the harasser is also like 60. Although then again, old people have the craziest passwords that are just written on a note next to their monitor.
desu I won't really know until he sends me the info. I figured my current approach is pretty weak, so I'm asking here.

My old, Faithful mouse has been stopping working intermittently. So I decided to get a new one what should I get. I'd like it to be wired.
Just made a Snapchat.
1) Because I am a "creep" as they say, I only want to use this to see the sexy pics of girl. So far I added Lia (who's an adult BTW) and Lindsey Pelas. Is there any way I can browse and see all their pictures, or do I get a notification when they put out something new, etc.?
2) I made my name and username something benign. I have no intention of using this app with IRL people I know. Is there any way for someone on Snapchat to see my real personal info (birthday and email)? Also, does the app do any sort of surveillance/unwanted photo capturing? So far I've been keeping my thumb over the camera.
