I know it's not /FL related, but if I buy pepper from the grocery store and plant them, will they grow well? Or should I opt for a specialized plant seed.
>>55158403
if you live in a warm climate or have somewhere in direct sunlight they might do well
not sure why you would use store bought peppers when you can get seeds from any variety online tho
Why won't this fucking XBOX one controller driver install correctly?
I fucking have windows 7 updated all the fucking way to it's current fucking cuck edition and the fucking driver still won't install correctly
I unistalled the driver, reinstalled it.
I installed the driver directly from Microsoft
I updated the .Net and reinstalled the fucking driver.
I'm out of fucking options, the controllers work for Xbox one but not my Win7 PC. Please help because the only answers seem to be the typical ''have you unistalled the driver and reinstalled it''
So i'm a dummy that knows very little about processors (i've been using the AMD Phenom x4 II 965 for the last 4 years) and i'm looking to upgrade.
Is the i5 6600k worth the 200 bucks + whatever a new mobo costs? According to CPUboss i'd only gain .1 GHz extra before overclocking.
http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-6600K-vs-AMD-Phenom-II-X4-965
Am i missing something or am i retarded?
>>55158441
I had the same problem. i ended up just partitioning my hdd and dual booting windows 10 for my gaymin needs. I think microsoft did that purposefully so that xbone controllers wouldn't work on windows 7
>>55158572
>>55158572
Oh my goddman. I installed all those fucking updates JUST for this fucking controller.
>>55158513
ghz don't matter unless the two processors have the same number of instructions per cycle (IPC). overclocking doesn't result in better performance just because more ghz are better, it matters because THAT chip running at more ghz are better.
the phenom's IPC is fucking ancient. look up benchmarks for the two chips.
>>55158611
Okay, so on PassMark the Phenom gets a score of 4248 versus the 6600k's 7799, that's a huge improvement, damn.
Thanks man.
>>55158658
passmark isn't that good of an indicator but look up practical benchmarks for games or software etc, the phenom was pretty good for its day but was still below the first generation i7's, and the 6600k is a pretty damn marked improvement over the first gen i7's
Best resources for absolute beginners getting in to web dev. And do you think it's harmful and/or counterproductive to learn through sites like codeacademy?

i think they're a bit better in looking at actual performance
Any idea how long it will take before aftermarket 1070s aren't sold out 24/7? Also do you think that the 480 will have the same problem of limited availability?
>>55158776
i don't wanna look up the 6600k's cinebench score because i'm a lazy cunt but i'm pretty sure that a stock 6600k was close to my i5 4690k's overclocked score

>>55158794
also i found this to be pretty lulzy, amd's current lineup of cpus is so shitty that their old phenom chips have better single core performance LOL
>>55158794
Stock 6600k would probably be lower than an OC 4690k.

I get this sometimes when playing HTML5 video on Firefox 47, especially on YouTube. It goes away after a while but it's still pretty annoying.

My mobo (I'm pretty sure, though it could be the PSU because my ethernet died a day before the whole thing refused to boot) bit the dust and I want a new one to use my PC again without having to buy everything new.
It's an LGA2011 / X79. It seems like they stopped making them so they're all super expensive on newegg and amazon as far as i can see.
It looks like LGA2011-3 is NOT backwards compatible.

My old computer would randomly completely hardlock. It happened no matter what OS (Windows, Linux, including multiple distros, etc)

What can you do with Python?
>>55159993
Step 1:
Remove keycaps again
Step 2:
Grab a straw and some isopropyl alcohol
Step 3:
Put the straw into the alcohol (just a little bit) and put your finger on the other end
Step 4:
Depress the switch, put the straw in the hole and release your finger
Step 5:
Spam the key for a bit to spread the alcohol
No alcohol? Do it with water and leave the keyboard to dry for two days at the very least.
Still doesn't work? Put some motor oil in there using the same straw method. Or any oil-based lubricant, really.
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.
Pic related its temps from yesterday.

add the docs to the ide?
using firefox here
I need firefox to remember card numbers so i can just double click the input box and select one
im using Greasemonkey with the following codeArray.prototype.forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('[autocomplete]'), function(elm){elm.setAttribute('autocomplete', 'on')})
which works
what i noticed is this makes it remember the expiration dates & CVV numbers, but not the main card number
Apparently firefox has a backup way of detecting card numbers, the Luhn algorithm, which is further stopping the rememberification of my numbers & I can find no information on how to override this so firefox will remember credit card numbers (so i can double click the card number box & get a list of the numbers, like other auto fill boxes like your address box)
tl;dr how to make Firefox remember credit card numbers, a plugin or script or settings fix?

It just feels a bit odd. Either I get the cheap one and probabyl get shit image quality. Or I get the more expensive chromecast, which is at a pricepoint over here that I might as well get a raspberry pi or an orange pi or something, and get something that play video files and do a lot more.

I don't fully get the question, but frame rate and resolution are different things. Both take data and resources, which is why having both 4k and 144Hz is not widely supported*.

i would recommend you just to use a homegroup/homenetwork to share the files between the two computers. sharing an os between two computers is a bad idea with windows, because of drivers. with linux it probably works, though.
>>55161703
>frame rate and resolution are different things
I know that, but they directly affect eachother. Or, more specifically, resolution can affect framerate. That's why I'm asking if I'll get a 33% higher framerate on triple-1080p compared to 4k, since it's 33% less pixels
How do I find the baud rate a microcontroller is using for a serial connection without a datasheet?
>>55161547
4k is 2x 1080p. not 4.
1920x1080(2) = 3840x2160
With triple 1080p monitors in eye-finity setup it would be 5760x1080. Performance would be roughly the same as a single 4k panel.
>TL;DR just buy a 4k panel and reduce the AA in games. Higher pixel density means less Anti Aliasing required. I play 1440p with only x4 AA in 99% of titles because at my resolution, there is 0 difference between x4 and x8.

How much extra wattage do you need to overclock a 6600k? just to a medium overclock of like 4.4ghz
>>55161790
not much at all although I wouldn't overclock even a little bit on a really shitty Power supply. What do you have? For even a really power hungry GPU (Fury/390X) and a mild OC'd 6600k, you'd only need like a quality 550w. Or a decent 650w for breathing room and adding more stuff down the line.

i have a 980ti factory oc and a 6600k oc 4.0ghz running on 650w and i haven't run into any troubles. can't tell you an exact number, but you should be perfectly fine with 650 to 700w if you're running only one gpu.

2x2(2) does NOT equal 4x4. Don't see where you learned your math.
But it seems both of us made a mistake, because:
Single 1080p: 1920 * 1080 = 2,073,600
4k: 3840 * 2160 = 8,294,400
Triple 1080p: 2073600 * 3 = 6,220,800
Triple 1080p / 4k (6220800 / 8294400) = 0.75
Just overclocked my 6700k to 4.6ghz @ and everything is stable when using cinebench for stress testing as well as encoding a large video in handbrake with all 8 threads locked to 100% full tilt.
I'm still stable in Prime95 as well but prime95 makes my voltage go up to 1.5v and I see temp spikes into the 90s C. Is prime95 still the golden standard for stability? Or am I fine with just the handbrake and cinebench tests?
6600K or 6700K for games like Doom at max settings?

nigga make up your mind.
>>55161721
I would assume no, but don't know the full details.
It sounds like a matter of data. If the amount of data is the same, then you certainly could have more frames at a lower resolution or less frames at a higher resolution. The question is if someone bothered to create and store that data to start with as you can't watch what is not there. Taking a 4k video down to 1080 won't create the missing frames and more 1080 frames don't make them 4k.
Now to complicate matters some systems have up-scaling. For example my new Blu-ray player takes 1080 and processes it into 4k with its up-scaling algorithm. Really it is just a program filling in the empty pixels with newly generated data inside the Blu-ray player which is not on the disc. This on principle annoys me as the computer is making things up. However I do have to admit it does help to smooth the images in some cases making it look better, but could also still get things wrong.

>>55161896
Made a mistake in the original post, used 1080p pixels instead of the triple-1080p pixels. The most recent one is correct.

I recently moved into a new house and the previous owner had fiber installed not through the cable company like TW. Basically this means that if we want to use it we would have to rent it for some 100-300 dollars a month. I was wondering what I could even use the 1 gb upload/download speed and if I could possible get back some of the expenses.

How does 4chan GET modified works?
Just installed windows 10 and removed the explorer from the task menu. The computer then froze and I had to restart it. Now the explorer won't start from the start menu when I click on it and when I manage to get into my files (via user documents) it just displays a blank white sheet instead of a yellow folder. How can I fix this? Pls answer only if you know a serious solution. Thx!

>>55162072
Oh. 4chan has an API that shows all the most recent posts for a board. The script probably checks the most recent posts every X seconds, and if the most recent post has the ID before the ID that you want (sometimes adjusted to 2-10 posts before the ID that you want, to compensate for fast boards), it makes your post.
>>55162089
Most of them work, but only on slow boards. See above.
>>55162097
Buy a used netbook from eBay, DBAN the drive, install an ENTIRELY free and open-source operating system (Windows DEFINITELY won't cut it, maybe not even Ubuntu), and use TOR directly from there. Use a public connection (not your home connection) and always use HTTPS (should be enabled by defualt on TOR). Entering your home address when you purchase something on the deepweb is also probably a bad idea, so you'll have to work around that somehow, unless you can be assured that the website isn't a honeypot and hasn't been compromised. When you're done, DBAN the drive again and destroy the entire computer.

Why is windows 10 using 100% of my disk usage all the time? I opened task manager and I looked up all the processes. They're all windows processes. Should I pick up a cheap SSD or is there an easier fix that I'm just not seeing?
>>55162510
Or just look at how big the iso is. The biggest Fedora iso is about 1.5GB. The smallest is about 900MB. 2GB will let you run any Fedora live environment with about half a GB left over so if you want you can add a little persistent storage. With 4GB you can install a lot of additional packages.

^trigger warning\
so, i built my own pc, and for some reason, only one of my two fans is working. I don't know when it happened, but i just noticed it a few days ago. I know that I have taken my pc apart twice(since I have had it) to clean it, so maybe I unplugged a wire then. I also noticed that I have poor fps is vidya games, could this be contributing to it? What can I do to make the fan work? What can I check. I don't think it is broken, probably just unplugged. I guess my real question is, does it really matter enough for me to take the energy to fix it?

Is gentoo a bleeding edge distro like arch? Do you have to compile everything? I'm thinking about giving it an instalation but I'm not sure what to expect. Does it have an automated package updater like pacman?
>>55162872
Arch is the best, Gentoo is for autists, it's only better for shitty computers from 2004.
>>55162872
Gentoo is as bleeding-edge as you want it to be. Just compile the most recent release from source. As for whether the distribution itself is good or not, I won't comment on.
>>55162891
I use arch now and it's my favorite so far but I've heard compiling everything can make your computer run just a bit faster
>>55162917
A bit, if you have a slow processor. Only because you're able to leave out components in a software "bundle" that you won't necessarily be using.
>>55162911
Is there a package manager like on arch that keeps you up to date with the latest so you don't have to manually hunt out the package?

>>55162937
so like on arch, to install something like firefox you dosudo pacman -Sy firefox
And you're done.
How would you do it with that on gentoo? Do you have to hunt for the source or is it all in a repo for you? And if so is the repo better than arch + AUR?
Just a couple quick questions /g/ -
I have an older (from 2009?) motherboard, with a that 4 pin port on the side. I have a cx430m psu that has the 8pin connector. Would it work if I plugged it in and just left the 4 pins hanging over the side?
Secondly, can I just take any usb wifi receiver and use it on linux, or does it have to be a certain model or brand supported by linux? I'll be using either fedora or ubuntu if it matters at all.

Anyone play battlefield 4 on a GTX 970?
I have that along with a i5 4460, playing on all ultra 1080p, and I get around 60-100 FPS, mostly in the 70s and 80s though. Except for siege of shanghai, which makes me drop to 50s sometimes.
Is that acceptable? I have seen videos whereby people get constant 80s and going all the way to 100s.

Whats a steam box? I see people building it but what its purpose?
I've been considering getting an Uninterruptible Power Supply for my PC since I bought a mini fridge for the same room/circuit, just in case.
I don't really understand about the VA.
>Some people tell me a cheap, weak low-wattage UPS is fine even if it just gives me 2 minutes of safety time because of my power draw
>Others tell me I need a UPS with a high wattage if my PC uses a lot of power
So my PC is probably using 700W~900W at max load. Do I need to shell out alot of money for a $150, 1500VA UPS?
>>55158359
I've recently discovered that I can't open Malwarebytes or qbittorrent (possibly more programs). Windows asks for permission to open them, the taskbar gives space for them at the bottom, then they just don't open. No running process in my task manager either.
This was after I bluescreened while exiting a Unity game with TrinusVR and Vireio both running as my phone was also tethered to my PC, streaming the display and acting as my VR headset. I've since uninstalled both Trinus and Vireio, along with the LG usb drivers I had just installed; no fix. Reinstalled, restarted, scanned for malware with programs other than mbam; nothing comes up.
>>55162270
>>55162313
S-stop. Please answer.
>>55163117
try renaming mbam.exe to anything else.exe
Could be malware that blocks mbam from running that your other shittier malware scanners didn't find.
>>55163087
VA is just watts * efficiency
Look at the real watt rating for a unit
I doubt your machine is pulling 900W even at max load.
>>55163135
>>55163080
it's a computer with steamos installed. it's based on linux so it can play steam games that are available for linux. it can also stream games from a windows pc.
the purpose of a steam box is to be able to play games in your living room where you don't have your main pc. it's a glorified console with no gaems
I just installed a new hard drive in my computer. It shows up in the device manager, but not in the file explorer. It also shows up in Speccy for what its worth. How do I fix this so I can actually use the drive??
>>55163161
Well yes, that's why I said 1500VA (900W). Also I have 2 GPUs, both overclocked, an overclocked 2500k, liquid cooler, 6 fans, backlit keyboard, gaming mouse, 2 hard drives, 2 SSDs, speaker system w/ amp, 2 1080p monitors. According to some PSU calculator site they recommend a 930W+ PSU, so I assume I am pulling around 750 or 800, with 900 being the max possible, during max loads.
Either way this doesn't answer the question. Just need to know 100% for sure:
I still need a UPS rated at more watts than my system pulls, right? I heard someone say a weaker one is fine but it won't last as long, but I don't believe it.
>>55163201
Nevermind, I figured it out. I had to format the drive in disk management for some reason, but now it works.
>>55163201
Assign a drive letter to it, you fool. If you don't know how to do that, google it. How the fuck you gonna use a drive without any way to identify the directories?
>>55163201
Format it
Computer Management>storage>disk management>right click the gray bar and format
>>55163218
I guess that could pull 900 on max load
Depending on the design of the UPS you might not need 900+ watts because the odds of pulling that much load during a power failure is pretty load, but you probably should get one with 10% more load capacity than you will pull from it.
