Summary of situation. Hacker had a Trojan into my Windows laptop. Writing random shits all over the place. Mouse clicking on its own. Ran antiviruses. A Trojan found in a webcam program. Removed. Same shits still happening. Ran antiviruses. Nothing found. Ran Avast boot scan. Nothing found. Ran Malwarebytes in safe mode. Nothing found. Reset laptop using recovery solution (Samsung). Infected again. Suspected router compromisation. Reset router and laptop. Infected again.
Now I am waiting for an ISP guy to install new internet connection with a Ubuntu bootable USB in one hand and a pen to reset router in the other.
He installs internet. I reset router. Don't connect it to internet just yet. Clean-install Ubuntu on my laptop and erase all (cursed) disk space. Then connect router to the Internet. Connect laptop to Wi-Fi. Configure Wi-Fi on laptop to enhance security.
Will this save me?
I am fearing the worst case. Do you think I need to suspect BIOS infection? If that is the case what i am going to do today will be all in vain right?
Send help.

post more kittens, op! :)
Trying to piece together a cheap 600$ pc build, pls criticize and point out flaws
WD 1TB cheapo harddrive
Asus M5A97 AMD Mobo
EVGA GTX 960 2GB
Seasonic M12II 620W psu
8 GB DDR3 RAM
Intel i3-6100 3M 3.7 GHZ, dual core
Hi /g/, I bought a new video card to install into an old system, prior to installing I did a fresh install of win 7.
Then I plugged the new card in, and now win crashes when it gets to the windows loading screen.
I've tried reinstalling windows as some forums online suggested, but the motherboard won't read any usb or external dvd drive as number one in boot priority and keeps trying to boot from the harddrive which leads to the same problem.
The only thing that trumps the HDD boot priority is the CD Drive, which I've used to successfully boot Ubuntu.
So what do?
Are the old drivers from the previous gpu getting in the way, where can I find them and uninstall them?
Could it be something else? Pls help.
>>55230601
Could be an infected USB that keeps re-infecting you.
>>55230601
Take out the wireless keyboard/mouse adaptor. It was just me, your brother, having some fun at your expense.
>>55230601
you need to contact the hacker by speaking into the webcam. ask them to kindly remove the infection or you will go to the FBI.
>>55230609
use case? :^)
>>55230609
960 is a waste of money with the new cards right on the horizon.
You don't really need a 620w PSU for that setup, the i3-6100 is 51 watts for fucks sake.
>Not falling for the 16 GB RAM meme
Get 12 at least, noob. Also, get an SSD so you can install your OS on it.
What does the LED on my motherboard briefly flashing orange when I turn it on mean? It will not post, at least not yet. I've double checked all the cables/connections, installed it on motherboard standoffs, tried literally everything. It's a Gigabyte Z170N-WIFI and the LED that briefly flashes orange is by the IO ports behind the USB (I'm pretty sure it's the only LED it has).
I saw a forum post when googling that said it was a power issue, but I couldn't find anything official anywhere.
>>55230615
try to install Ubuntu. it sound dumb, but if both windows and Linux are unable to install, there is a problem with your video card bios.
source: had the same problem with my evga 760.

Try a different PSU, still same issue? RMA it.
>>55230647
You didn't even tell us the manufacturer.
>>55230661
You might need to clean install Windows by wiping all partitions and starting over from scratch. Make sure you have drivers ready.
>>55230676
But I included my motherboard model. My PSU is an EVGA one if that matters.
>>55230656
The only reason why I can't install windows is because I can't get the motherboard to give boot priority to a USB or an external DVD drive, its only picking up on the CD Drive.
(The motherboard is very old)
Windows is already installed, I was just trying to do a fresh reinstall with the new video card connected.

i said i am clean installing ubuntu in my original post
i just want to know if i have to suspect BIOS infection because i know then reinstalling OS won't solve the problem
>>55230661
I'd recommend sanitizing it by unscrewing the drive and wiping down each disk. That gets the bugs out.
Just make sure to move the little arm out of the way or it will get in the way when removing the disks!
If that fails, contact the drive maker and file a warranty claim. Make sure to put the disks back in in the same order you removed them or all your data will be out of order!

>>55230729
Thank you, but before you go to all the trouble, do you have any idea if a reinstall of windows would help my original problem with the crashing?
I'm just here assuming that the problem is due to the drivers from the previous card.
>>55230727
i do have someone (who is good at tech stuff) who would do this to me.
is there any possibility that he wrote a BIOS virus just to attack me?

what i am going to do today
1. Change ISP
2. Reset my router
3. Clean-install Ubuntu on my laptop.
i really have no idea what i could do if in fact it really is BIOS infection

I'm switching from Win10 to linux, for obvious reasons. I'm asking the age-old question of what distro to use. I've tried Xubuntu on my laptop and was thinking of using Kubuntu. But I've also heard there was some type of backdoor with amazon or something with ubuntu distros. I'm pretty new to linux, only fucked with it for giggles, and I would prefer something that can at least moderately support gaming. So what do you guys recommend?
>>55230954
There was some Amazon stuff enabled by default only in the Unity interface. Xubuntu and Kubuntu were unaffected. It seems to be off by default now. fixubuntu.com can tell you how to verify its off.
>>55230828
Problem is a single 3.5mm jack won't do surround sound.
I think you need something weird like:

Let me spare you all the FUD and fedora tipping that comes up whenever Ubuntu is brought up.
Canonical finally backed down and removed the Amazon search scope.
Was this a bad move to begin with? Yes.
Have they made things right? Basically.
Are other Ubuntu based distributions affected? Nope, they never were.
Was this as bad as it's made out to be? No, it was always easily removable, and search data was anonymized. It was blown out of proportion mainly due to some poor word choices on Canonical's part and the Linux community always being more suspicious than, say, Windows users.
How can I tell if a tv will accept a 120hz external signal? Only thing I could find was a 3 year old article where you spoof your tv as a monitor to force the signal. Is the only way to test it myself?
Is the Intel ac 8260 fully supported by Linux? Like, if I install Ubuntu it'll just work without having to download anything?
>>55231035
Is it a CRT? Then yes.
Otherwise, you'll have to do frame timing tests.
>>55230711
Since your receiver does not support surround you would need a new receiver.
>>55231047
Give it a try. It's free.
>>55230895
So if I
1. Change ISP.
2. Reset router.
3. Reflash BIOS of laptop.
4. Clean-install Ubuntu on laptop.
Will this make me free?
Can the router's BIOS also be infected? How do I get rid of that then? Will just installing new firmware suffice?
>>55231117
I'm actually >>55230647 , I can't try it until I get my motherboard back from Gigabyte.
>>55231019
>>55231030
Thank you kindly for the responses.
Would you then recommend an ubuntu distro or would there be another you would recommend?
>>55231150
Ubuntu is a pretty good tool. Just don't expect it to be a video game.
>>55231125
If you can desolder the BIOS chips, you can usually pick a set of prongs/pins, put a bridge between them with solder, resolder it, and it'll reflash every power cycle to prevent infection.
>>55231051
Not a crt was just thinking of upgrading to a larger tv. Ok followup question so in the situation where it frame skips would I still get 3:2 pulldown? In that case isn't getting a 60hz panel tv cheaper.

I would say Install Gentoo, but yeah it's probably a driver issue. Is the device being recognized? There isn't a lot of info here.

>>55232340
>Can I power it with my own PSU and run a SATA data extender to the Macbook Pro?
Only if your hardware is Apple too. It needs an "iPower Energy Source" and an "Apple SATA" cable, which basically is the same thing but the connector has a different shape.

>>55232654
In theory, if the only thing that was wrong with the macbooc was that the hard drive power rail was nonfucntional, then you could power it externally and connect the data back to the macbook, but I really doubt that is the only thing wrong with it if the hard drive isn't powering up.

On Fedora 24, how the fuck do you extend a partition? On every other distro I've tried gparted just werks, but since the partition is lvm2 (and inside an extended partition while the unallocated space isn't) it just doesn't work for whatever reason. I've tried googling around, and from what i can gleam lvm is suppoate to be easier to resize, yet not a single result tells me how to actually resize lvm2 partitions. It's really maddening.

Also, have you checked that it's not windows update downloading shit in the background that is causing it?
Had that once on an old laptop that i "upgraded" to W7, it was barely usable and would lock up all the time until i set it to download and install updates over night to get it over with.
Could anyone please post the trusted PSU list/PSU ranking list?

A lot of it is just guesstimation, and it varies from game to game. Some games are very heavily CPU reliant, and even that comes in a couple flavors. Some games only use 1-2 or 2-4 threads, others can utilize more.

debian have a graphical installer. The install process isn't very different from ubuntu.
The unique issue with debian is that it doesn't enable the non-free packages by default so you might have to install your wifi drivers or graphical drivers manually according your hardware. That's not very difficult and the wiki explain everything, but it's not a just werk distribution for everyone.

Is there any sort of external display that hooks up through a USB instead of VGA / DVI / HDMI?
It doesn't need to be very big, in fact the smaller the better.
I have about 3000 music files on my PMP, a Fiio X3ii, but the issue is the fucking thing shows the filename instead of the name of the track.
So I end up with ##/Artistname/Trackname. With the limited screen size sometimes I have to wait for the letters to scroll to see the track name.
I would rather change it ##/Trackname. I can easily do this in Foobar but I prefer the current naming setup on my PC, I only want to do this on my player.
Any programs or scripts that allow me to do this?

What's the best 1080p60 IPS monitor with Freesync?

What games?
Are you talking about emulation or regular PC games?
>>55234646
High refresh rate IPS are way way out of me budget.
>>55234652
I'm talking about regular PC games which need rather low ressources. I'd like to provide something to game on when a friend if coming over, without needing him to bring his own PC.

Maybe

You should definitely wait.
The new AMD GPU line comes out VERY soon, so the old shit will drop in price. Wait for that.
>>55234683
Get a 144hz rather than freesync honestly there is no tearing at all in comparison to a 60hz.. Don't fall for the memes

You want to look in to multiseat software

You can't lol. Google knows pretty much everything you do using their services. You have to not use them. Nothing will even come of it, you'll get different ads and things will be more specialised towards your interests but that's it. You're nothing special nobody gives a shit about your futa Google searches

Well i reset my mac adress, IMEI, Serial Number, Bluetooth Mac Adress and my Avertising ID. EVery reboot.
Also disabled google search, removed all 'play' services, disable location services, and disable history.
But i still use Gmail and Youtube, so there is not much i can do about that. I did have a darknet email address. But it was a hassle to use.
All we need is a new youtube and email client then my name will hopefully never come up on search results.

Yes but it's a 60GB HDD.
That's what you want, right?
>>55235841
GTX 750 ti
>>55235839
Any of them would be fine for storing movies.
Is it me, or do gopro's and other compact cameras have terrible video quality, no matter how big the resolution is?
>>55235841
I could sell you a 750 Ti for $70.

Anyone familiar with monitor overclocking?
I'm able to overclock my old BenQ (native 1080p@60) to 1080p@85, but I get a constant "out of range" sign in the middle, and no games recognize that setting.
It still works perfectly though, I can even run all the TestUFO stuff with no artifacts/frame skipping/whatever

Situation is still the same as a week ago and will be for, at least, the next 2 years,
What happens after that will be negotiated during said years.

I'm trying to narrow down my router choices. I'm choosing between 8 different routers. Can I get some input from you guys on them? They're all 4x4 MU-MIMO, have USB 3.0, have open-source firmware available, and support guest networks.
TP-LINK:
$175 Archer C2600
$350 Talon AD7200
ASUS:
$300 RT-AC88U Wireless AC3100
NETGEAR:

$360 R8500 Nighthawk X8 AC5300
D-Link:
$270 DIR-885L AC3150
$370 DIR-895L/R AC5300
Linksys:
$400 EA9500 MAX-STREAM AC5400
I'm leaning towards the cheap one, but I wanted to just make sure there wasn't anything retarded about it, or amazing about the others or something. The location isn't ideal, it goes through 4 walls and a floor, but a WRT54GL ALMOST manages it, so I don't think I'd need anything especially special from a modern router.
I was going to post the following question, but I solved it. So here it is for reference:
Q:
On Firefox I can add custom keywords to search engines, as show in:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-search-from-address-bar
But some places don't offer that option when I right click the search bar, though it should be definitely possible.
e.g.
https://isthereanydeal.com/
Is there a way to override this? Maybe editing the bookmark?
A:
Go to the bookmarks menu and look for the "search" bookmarks. Once there create a new "search bookmark" and in "location" you put the url you want to use for searching. Make a test to get and example.
e.g.
https://isthereanydeal.com/#/search:INSURGENCY;/scroll:%23gamelist
Replace whatever you typed for "%s", so we get something like this.
https://isthereanydeal.com/#/search:%s;/scroll:%23gamelist
Put that url in the 'location' field of the 'search bookmark', assign a keyword. You're done.
hey /g/
I love Libre office (pls no h8) and it use to be one of the best offices I've ever used. Why is 5.0 crashing?

Can't type, can't right click, it's like it's a still image

What do they mean?
I've only ever bought HDDs by buying external ones and removing the drive. Only because there's no PC stores around here and I didn't want to have a drive shipped to me through the post.
I'm thinking of getting a 2TB WD for my boot drive. And adding 2TB seagate drives as I need them. Instead of buying fewer 4TB drives.

Blue is Consumer Grade

Red is for Servers

>>55236351
Thank you, anon.
What a the best way of generating or creating a secure password?
>>55236338
Black: High performance/reliability
Blue: Midrange, Blue drives over 1TB are actually green drives
Green: Budget, low power low speed drives
Red: Like green but with better reliability and firmware for use in RAID arrays
>>55236369
Green doesn't exist anymore, replaced with Blue
>>55236338
Blue is a normal drive, green says fuck everything for the sake of energy efficiency, black says fuck everything for the sake of performance, red has some weird shit going on to make it better for NAS and servers, purple is some weird shit for 24/7 use for security cameras.
Blacks are loud as fuck. Like, heard through interior walls. I've heard that greens are getting rolled into the blues now, so make sure you get a blue with 7200RPM, not 5400RPM, assuming you go that route.
>>55236366
Password manager, like KeePass.

Is there any advantage to using an M.2 SSD over a SATA SSD?
>>55236410
Depends, if its m.2 pcie you can get better speeds
If its just m.2 sata mode it makes no difference.
>>55235813
Wow, that's a big difference, guess it's more afordable there. Anyway, is this okay for running witcher 3 on high with no issues?
>>55236331
open the terminal and type
first step is to create a directory where you'll compile the software.mkdir -p ~/.manual-installation/moon-build
cd ~/.manual-installation/moon-build
Then you download the project.git clone https://github.com/mono/moon
and you install it as written on the INSTALL file../configure
make
make check
make install
>>55236463
Yes it should handle it fine on high at 1080p

Yeah but the problem is, everytime i do make when compiling. It gives me errors
Hello /g/, sorry for the lenghty post but I don't really know where the problem lies here.
Whenever I plug my usb wifi adapter into my PC, it doesn't work and I get the error message about a root usb power surge. My keyboard stops working after that and I have to unplug the adapter and restart the PC to get everything working again.
Two days ago after getting back from a friends house, my PC didn't boot at all and the only sign of life was a blinking light on my GPU. I swapped rooms and outlets and it started working again, so I brought it back to my room where it worked fine, other than the usb issue described above. After getting home from work that day, the wifi adapter worked again and there weren't any issues for the rest of the day and all of yesterday until this morning where the usb issue came back.
So is this an issue with the wifi adapter? Or something more serious like the PSU or mobo?
I found over 2,000 viruses on my PC the other day. I tried removing them but they would reappear every time I rebooted (7 of the original 2,000 to be exact). I did a full reinstall of my OS and wiped the HDD (I'd been meaning to move my OS onto an SSD and wiping everything for a while so this was no big deal).
My PC already got new viruses and there's a browser hijacker on it already. I don't know how this is happening. The only programs I've downloaded are very trust worthy, real mainstream shit like chrome, ccleaner, malwarebytes, qbittorrent and VLC player.
wtf is going on? I removed the user (myself) from chrome which gets rid of the hijacker but I'm worried I still have shit on my computer.
Anyone have any idea what's going on?
>>55236671
Should also mention that whatever this is is constantly uninstalling my browser plug-ins and deleting my browsing history/cookies/etc.
>>55236671
Figure out what is in common between the times you got infected, the vector is somewhere in there
