Hey /g/ i have a very unique problem. Windows 10 just freezes and i have to restart my computer to use it again.
I think the problem is my mobo in some way, like I don't have the configuration quite right (UEFI), I've already tested or replaced every other piece of hardware. Check disk comes up clean, Temps, voltages should be good.
I have the latest BIOS version and have all my drivers up to date. I have even RMA'ed my mobo and yet I still have this issue. I've searched around with others for my problem and there are no solutions.
I was able to stave of the problem by changing the amount of memory the onboard graphics but that has stopped working
It could be the processor, but I did run the intel diagnostic and it turned out fine.
Also by luck I do have a compatible processor that I found in the trash at work. No idea if it could just make my system worse though.
Another idea I had is that it could be related to the temperature. Last year i RMA'ed my board around this time because it was happening a bunch. It has only happened a lot during the summer and fine during the other months.
>>55145446
Most times they will ask for what they want, or you should ask before you interview or send your resume in the first place. I think a thank you note post interview may be the most important.

Could defective internet cables (the ones outside) affect my connection intermittently to some sites meanwhile some others works?
Only one of the displayport ports on my graphics card works. Before I send it back, I just want to make sure that it's broken and not some stupid feature like the first displayport port is the only one turned on by default and the others only work when connecting multiple displays.
Is there a way to backup stuff directly to FTP server using CLI?
>>55145837
No, if the cables work for some sites they would work for all the sites.
>>55145891
Test it with another cable. It think it is fairly common for them to wear out. It happened to me with a gigabyte card. Also check the reviews to see if other people have had the problem. If you have 2 display ports can't you just use the other one? check the Driver suite about the connections.
>>55145936
I tried it with another monitor using a different cable and got the same problem. I've had this card for a few days so I think I just got a defective unit.
I can't view my Keyboard applet on the panel in Linux mint 17, despite it being active, there is no icon to click. (pic related)

I'm having trouble setting up iMessage on an old iPhone 4s. Ios is updated to most recent version and everything is verified. I'm using the phone as an iPod touch, but I have wifi. For whatever reason imessage is stuck on "waiting for activation"
>>55145477
shotwell is great
>>55146068
No, not at all. You can probably get away with a smaller/cheaper water cooler like the Corsair H60.
>>55146083
Something is off with your icloud account
>>55146144
But I should add it depends on your processor. Skylake is pretty darned efficient and temperatures won't be a problem on most coolers. If you have an AMD processor or an older Intel one, I'd get the H110i over the H60.
>>55145968
Yeah man just send it back. Companies will just send you a new card without caring if it actually defective or not.

If I was to buy a GeForce GTX 1080 Gigabyte G1 Gaming 8GB Edition (is this the best gpu today?), would it be okay for it to work with a cheaper motherboard, say an Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Socket LGA1151?
Or would it be better to get a motherboard that is a bit more bang, like a Asus Sabertooth Z170 Mark 1 Socket LGA1151?
Can I crossfire rx 480 with r9 390?
>>55146263
>is this the best gpu today?
it is today. In a few month it will not since AMD will release the vega line.
And if you look at the price, the performances, the temps, I'm not sure this GPU is worth. But that's a point of view thus. buy whatever you want.
>say an Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Socket LGA1151?
yes it will
>>55146060
Talk to girls, don't be an asshole and maybe you'll find a nice girl.
>>55146263
I don't think the motherboard would have an impact on performance as long as it supports all the parts that don't bottleneck your GPU.

How to use ASCII in a password? The Internet company came and updated the firmware of my modem. The old WiFi password was like "this is my password" and when I try to set it up again it won't accept it, but it will accept "thisismypassword". The error says that I gotta use "between 8 and 64 ASCII characters or 64 hexadecimal digits", so I figured that there should be a way to represent the spaces as ASCII characters, something like "this[Alt+32]is[Alt+32]my[Alt+32]password", But what is the correct syntax?
I was going to install my scythe heatsink today but a few screws and bolts seem to have disappeared in storage.

I am completely new to networking / webdev and wish to learn. I am thinking about renting a server and making a shitty blog as a first project.
Once I rent, do I have to make a contract with another company to have a domain name?
What are the steps between me uploading the files to the server and me accessing my blog via a web browser?
>>55146692
you just have to buy a domain name (and rent a server if you don't want to host it yourself).
If you rent a server you'll be able to put your files using FTP and they should provide a client (probably web based) if you have a database.
It isn't confusing, don't worry too much. It's easy.

For sex:
Go to college town.
Find house party.
Go in.
Ask if you can party (they always always say yes)
If there are lots of black people find another party because the police WILL be showing up.
Find and talk to drunk girls. You should be able to tell within 10 minutes or so if they are down, if not then move on to the next girl. Don't be too obvious because you will catch flak from alpha-chads
Get laid.
Tip: don't get drunk, but drink (+2 Charisma and Whiskey Dick perk)
Tip 2: wrap it up because you are NOT the first guy they have been with
I have attempted this 3 times and gotten laid each time. The sex feels okay but those hookups lead to uncomfortable situations. You are better off talking to girls and being yourself and eventually finding someone who can tolerate you and will let you play with her tits all night as you have deep conversations. Thats the best feel, man. Good luck to you.
>>55146783
Thanks. Id host it myself but I can't : I'm in a dorm and I get my internet via a wired connection in my room.
So first step is renting a server and upload my files there using FTP.
Then I go to a domain name company and ask to link the IP address provided by the server company to some domain name of my choice.
Did I miss something?
>>55145224
Why would one ever install Gentoo faggotry?
>>55147129
Usually the companies that sells the domain name also rent servers.

We don't have much concrete info on the rx 480 yet, and the leaks are all over the place. My gut assumption is that the rx 480 would be ok for 1440p 60fps *right now*, but you might have to turn down some settings in some games to achieve that and it won't be as future proof as the 1070.
As far as Zen goes, if it performs at least as well as a Skylake i5 then you'll be good. But again, we'll have to wait to get any concrete information on its performance.
Good case that supports 200mm fans?
>>55147077
the 700M limit refers to the CD-ROM standard, 80min of CD-DA audio is actually 827MiB, CD-ROM has a lower limit due to the requirement of additional ECC to protect the data, however, even with that you can store more than 80 minutes of high quality audio in 700M of space with modern codecs
>>55147216
oh, worth noting you can forgo the additional ECC in cd-rom mode to store more data on a CD, such a disc won't be able to handle as much damage as a normal cd-rom disc though

Hello, fellas. It's been some years since I've used Wangblows, been switching distros non stop recently. The ones I liked the most were Debian and OpenSUSE. But since my computer is pretty shit, I'd like something extremely minimal, but I still want to get shit done.
So I have two stupid questions:
1-
I never wandered into the netinst world, is there a good guide for a minimal bloat installation for, let's say, Debian? I don't want anything grand in this shit, just have a system that won't crash and maybe one or another game with WINE. I'd rather have a DE, but if there is a good enough guide, I could tinker with WMs and shit.
2-
I'm thinking of installing a W10 partition as well. I don't think I'll use it as much as I'm expecting, but well, I don't have shit to do in this weekend. I format some computers for neighbors and just use some shit Windows activator like KMSpico, is it recommended? Which way is the less bloated way for having my fresh W10 install? Also, can I have some "no botnet" guides for W10?
It kind of became more than two questions, but whatever. Many thanks in advance.

Would daisy chaining monitors with displayport work if the first connection wasn't displayport? Ex: [computer] - HDMI or DVI cable -> [monitor 1] - displayport 1.2 cable -> [monitor 2]
>>55147197
Bump pls
This can't be that difficult of a question
>>55148790
Yeah they changed the modem/router today and the problem persist. It's really weird for example: if i'm using speedtest and the internet cuts, I still can test my speed but if I choose a different server it says "timed out". It's like only established connections works but not new connections. Another example if I'm watching a youtube video it will keep loading but if a try to open another tab it will not work.
>>55148905
Oh and the only way to solve this it's to restart the modem.

I'm picking programming back up after quite a few years, and I'm using an IDE that has autocomplete features. I'm absolutely positive this is a stupid question, but what the hell is the point of auto-completing things like " and ) if I have to type through them anyway? There doesn't seem to be a keypress that skips past them. On top of that, sometimes it will fuck up and add an extra " or something. It actually seems like it's making my work harder instead of easier.

Thanks for the input; I can see why it's useful for more complex programs when it does things like fill in variables and such. I just don't see the point specifically for quotes and parenthesis when it makes me type them anyway. All it seems to do is mess up my typing rhythm as I try to make myself get used to typing something that is already there.
Is it just for when you already have a lot of code written out and are mostly moving around the whole document and adding things? As a person doing some basic programming tutorials and just typing lines, it currently feels like it doesn't help in any way.

I get this sometimes when playing HTML5 video on Firefox 47. It goes away after a while but it's still pretty annoying. Apparently it's the whole page flashing inside the video for some fucking reason. The flashing is more frequent and faster, but it doesn't really show accurately because GIF. What would be the cause of this? Had to upload the GIF somewhere else because it came out too big.

Shot in the dark here but I'm having a shit load of trouble with my router. It won't let any devices except for cell phones connect to it via wifi unless they're right next to it. Theres a ps3 connected via ethernet but that's it. I suspected that the 2.4hgz radio was malfunctioning but only one of three cellphones in the house can see the 5ghz band but all 3 of them are connected with little trouble from all over the house. To make matters worse the router also refuses to let my phone access it's settings. I type it's home IP but it refuses to load. Just yesterday my PC was connected and I accessed the login page of the router only to be disconnected shortly after. What the fuck is happening?
Also the router is a TC8715D Technicolor from time Warner.
Please help. This shit is driving me mad.

This is an AMD bug that happens usually when you have 2 monitors
There's no fix, the only fix is to drag it off and on the screen (or between 2 monitors) and sometimes it goes back to normal, or similar to a cursor but with weird lines.

Be aware Fallout 3 crashes frequently on anything but Windows XP. You can change some configs to make it crash less. But it will still happen. If that's too frustrating, you can just play New Vegas. If you like those games, also try the Bioshock series.

I did, nothing happens ;_;
>You bought a PC game on disc?
If I can get a physical copy I always go for it, it's nice to have a rack full of video games.
Anyway I am already downloading it as we speak since it comes with an activation key in the first place. I just thought installing from the disc will make download less content.
Pic related, it's going to take a while.

Not installing Gentoo, but Slack 14. I am trying to install Slackware on a 500gb HDD with Windows 7. I am wanting to overwrite everything and have only Slackware on the system. I'm booting from a USB optical drive with the Slack ISO. It's on a Thinkpad x140e, it is a UEFI firmware laptop. In the boot setup you can boot from UEFI, Legacy BIOS, or both. When I select UEFI it has options to boot from UEFI or Both based off of load progression, then there is an option for CSM which I disabled since Slack 14.1 supports UEFI and I shouldn't need Legacy support since an MBR should never be needed (I think?).
Boot options are listed as such:
UEFI only:
- UEFI only
- CSM disabled
When I load the Slack install disk at thr bottom of the screen says "Welcome to GRUB!" ...and that's it. One time I typed e based off an online instructions for being stuck on this screen. I think it's a misaligned GRUB boot screen to load huge.s
Anyway once it is booted to the keyboard screen, hitting enter, then logging in as root, I get to the partitioning phase. This is where I am stuck. Since my firmware is UEFI I figured my partitioning type would be GPT. So using gdisk or cgdisk asks me the file path. /dev/ ... sda, sda1, ada, ada1, hda, hda1 all bring nothing. When I fdisk -l nothing happens, when I cfdisk -l it says it can't be opened and FATAL ERROR.
What am I doing wrong? I assumed the Slack install would detect my HDD, then allow me to partition the entire drive for Slack and a swap.

I have a Corsair 400r. I noticed it's not recommended after a certain point on logical increments. Is there a compelling reason for that? I'd like to save 100 bucks if I can, but not at the cost of poor cooling, or whatever reason it's not rated as highly is.
This is weird - why is the download speed in the shape of uniform spikes?

The parts are all just suggestions, case doubly so because much of the functionality of a case is very subjective.
There's no requirement saying you need to have a $200 case with a $2000 build
>>55152670
Of course, never buy something just because someone on the internet told you to and all that. I guess what I was asking is what makes (for the sake of example) the NZXT 630 superior to the 400r/500r.

About to dive into PC building for the first time.
Can someone give me a list of PC parts/components in the order of least updated to most?
I assume that things like the tower case, fans, and power supplies rarely become obsolete and generally last quite a while.
And on the opposite end of the spectrum, I imagine things like graphics cards are updated more frequently.
I would like to know which specific parts are more likely to change often, in order of least to most likely.
>>55153461
it's entirely based on your needs.
if you play games then you'd update the GPU more often than someone who doesn't.
if someone is a data hoarder they'd update/add more HDDs than someone else would do.

Now, heres the story. We have Wifi on our Home router, like most routers, and this Wifi worked with all my Android devices (including the problem device) for the last few months.
A few weeks ago the Galaxy stopped being able to Update or Download apps from the Play Store. (Not entirely correct, it seems to still download some apps, however this takes upwards of 10-15 minutes just for a small (10-20mb app)
Following the usual troubleshooting, I have tried everything listed above.
3 other Android devices work without issue. I have factory reset my router again today. And yet it still doesnt work.
Normally I'd assume a router issue, but its strange that all other android devices can download without issue.
However assuming a phone issue, a Factory Reset should correct that too.
So, are there any DNS/ARP files that aren't changed? Or am I looking in the wrong place? Any help would really be appreciated.
