Ask your small/stupid questions that don't deserve their own thread here.
I have a laptop hard drive that makes a squeaky/chirpy noise. What's the exact cause of this? Should I expect failure soon even though S.M.A.R.T. shows nothing wrong?
Is it okay to just use bacteria from my mouth to make soy yogurt? I made soymilk last week then drank from it and left it out for a day and it had turned into pretty good yogurt. Should I do it again?

So I'm torn between two versions of the same laptop at the same price:
>i5-6200u and 256GB SSD
>i7-5500u and 128GB SSD
Performance wise they should be about the same but I care more about battery life than SSD size and I remember reading something about Skylake having significant worse battery life than Broadwell
Any help?
Cross platform (PC & Android) text chat program that saves offline messages? Preferably self-hosted, but not mandatory.
SSHing to irssi in server is a bit cumbersome.
Is there a way to search for only IPs using google or something similar? I want to search for specific text/titles hosted on them..
I know there was a site like this but it had a limit and a paywall.

How do I ignore this and go to the site:This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox Developer Edition may only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.
There is no option to allow and I tried to do it manually. Nothing works.

>>55285330
Skylake is far more efficient, this info is a Google search away you lazy fuck
>>55285330
Broadwell does much better for battery life
>>55285452
>>55285455
So which is it?
Better or worse?
I found a review which compared the Core M(eme) models from both generations and the Skylake one had significantly worse battery life.
I can't seem to find a comparison between the i5/i7 models.
Can someone tell my why this doesn't work on some boards? Pic related is just an example, the G works fine on /g/, but on trash it doesn't, why?
Is there anything wrong with placing my PC case horizontally if I put rubber feet on the bottom (as in heat issues, components falling, etc)
>>55285544
If everything's put in properly and it's not covering any vents.. go for it.. Though probably will build up dust faster since it's closer to the ground
>>55285544
Some HDDs dont work good on the side (like picrelated).
>>55285493
Skylake was built to improve energy efficiency as Intel knows they can't really get much more computation power without some radical changes in chip making. Thus they are going for lower energy consumption to make money appealing to energy cost conscious businesses. After all a fewer hundred computers can really add to the power bill.
As for that part about worse battery life I find that very odd and would love to read the details, especially the test metric. But not impossible as some software my not take full advantage of the new features.
If you really want better battery under-clock it, adding a a little time to things saves a huge amount of energy as the CPU stays cooler and thus has less heat resistance loading draining the power.
Also drop as much bloatware and software as you can.
On my laptop I get
Windows 7 = 4 hours
Mac OS X (SL) = 8 hours
Debian (with optimized power settings with LXDE) = 10 hours
Debian (without DE and main GUI) = 14 hours
I like how Linux uses Mac hardware better then Mac does :^)

Asked yesterday but got no answer, what can I do from the command line to launch a minimized instance of Firefox pointing to a page that will be passed as an argument? I already know how to do the latter part by firefox.exe -new-window %arg% but nothing I have tried has been able to make this window launch minimized. Even tried passing through the task scheduler and setting the task to be hidden and that didn't work, which usually always has in the past for me. Is there some other trick I can employ here?
>>55286301
If they were commited or staged and you did not tampered with .git directory then yes. Thats pretty much the whole point of git.

Also I guess it doesn't HAVE to be Firefox, so if I can do the same thing in another browser more easily I could just install that, though it feels clunky to install a whole other browser just for this one purpose of helping JDownloader get easier captchas without stealing focus from whatever else I am doing at the time.

That might not be enough information to diagnose the problem.
You could try disabling and enabling Bluetooth from the Device Manager (assuming Windows). If that doesn't fix the issue, uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the Bluetooth chip.
>>55286542
Yeah I've tried both. Even when I'm not actively using the bluetooth it will still take me out of the game

So I keep getting BSOD after unwillingly updating to Windows 10 (from 7). The errors varying from "irql_not_less_or_equal", "critical_structure_corruption", "pfn_list_corrupt". I'm thinking of doing a clean sweep of both my hard drive and SSD and re-install Windows 7, upgrading to Windows 10 straight away. I might fiddle around with some cables and boot priority in BIOS, since it seems like on startup, it refuses to boot from the SSD straight away.
Think this will fix my problem, or might there be a problem with my storage?
I'm not completely new to doing a clean sweep and reinstalling OS, but it's been a while since I've had to do this. Anything I should keep in mind/avoid before doing this?
I've tried updating all the outdated drivers I could find, scanned for malware/viruses, removing deamon tools and other junk that might have caused the errors, but it doesn't seem to do the trick.
I doubt there are any problems with any of my other components.

Problem is I use FAT32 as it just works with everything and a few rare cases when I use FAT16, compatibility has never been good in my life, so I am reluctant to change to some "new and improved" file system as compatible trumps features for me.

I guess you haven't been paying attention. There's a new series of AMD cards coming out in 2 days, with the RX 480 supposedly being a really good value at $200. It's not as good as the GTX 1070/1080, but it's less than half the price.
I suggest waiting for benchmarks when that card comes out. Depending on your monitor refresh/resolution and budget, you may want a cheaper 470 instead, or one of the new nvidia cards.

Hey /g/ I've been having a problem for a while on my gentoo installtion. Some steam games lag like crazy whenever I move my mouse, seems to cause input lag. Nothing else in my games respond until the mouse seems to catch up(and the mouse catching up is REALLLLLY slow). I have not had this trouble until fairly recently, maybe a few months ago. I am running Gentoo linux 64bit with a nvidia card and proprietary drivers. Weird thing is I have debian on my system too (dual boot) and ive tried the same game on it but had no problems at all.

Do I just grab any quad core 2gb ram box I can find on Amazon? They're like £25 and all I need is wifi and using the plex application.

Is this behavior normal? Whenever I decide to play something, for some reason everything always runs at ~30fps until I Alt+Tab out, then when going back it runs smoothly again, and this happens with most things I try to play. I've tried reinstalling drivers, using older drivers, reinstalling Windows, etc. and nothing seems to solve the issue. I have a 4690K along with a 750W power supply. Is this something worth doing an RMA for?

Without even integrated graphics, you aren't going to get anything.
As for the second part, it depends on the GPU. Some support the setup you described, some don't.
>>55288377
Ubuntu server (command line only). You will learn the command line quickly. All Linux distros are based off it. Linux with a GUI is pretty much Windows with a theme.
>>55288586
Swap the HDD for a SSD.
What's the best temperature monitoring software for Ubuntu? So far I've found several that monitor only 1 thing (HDD, CPU, GPU) through the console, but none like the ones in Windows that show everything in the same place.
What's the /g/ approved player/codec pack for android?

Stop the gay rant and ask a question instead.
>>55286744
You might try physically disconnecting your magnetic drive, doing a clean install on your SSD and going through setup/install of Win10 before reconnecting your magnetic.
You might also just leave the magnetic, boot from your image, and use the Windows installation environment to wipe your magnetic and SSD, and install clean to your SSD.

lm-sensors (invoked with just "sensors") + watch if you want it to continue updating, and smartctl or other S.M.A.R.T. utility for hard drive temperature. Learn to use a terminal multiplexer and you can have both conveniently in one window.
But your PC is not a battlemech. Stop pretending it is. You shouldn't have need to see that information more than a few times a year. Let it take care of itself and maybe actually use your PC for doing something.

This question is related to Discord.
Every time I get a message the bottom right of my screen freezes for a second and i'm not sure why. I can turn off notifications but this also turns off sound and orange task bar notification.
I'm assuming it's supposed to come up with a pop-up of what the message said or something.
Is there a way to turn off notifications BUT the sound? Attached picture is scrolling down with the freeze at the bottom right.

in windows 10, how often should i do a file backup and a system image?
Ok fags, I got a NAS and now want to stream shit to my phone, laptop etc. as in File stream to watch, decoded on the device I'm watching on.
Desktop, no problem at all, instant access, connected via LAN
Laptop - No problem either, WLAN, LAN, both work great. Linux AND windows.
Now, my phone. Redmi Note 3.
I've tried File Commander, ES Explorer and DSfile. With all three, I can't get over 200kb/s transfer speed for some reason, even when just downloading a file.
Same happens when I try to access a file off my PC, so it's not the NAS.
Internet access is >8MB/s through WLAN though, so it's not WLAN throughput either.
What the fuck is happening?
>>55289259
Don't worry friend, I'm sure multiple intelligence agencies are already doing it for you.
>>55289283
welp, enabled NFS, SSH, FTP and SFTP services on my NAS now, now it seems to work a lot more smoothly.
>>55288645
I would RMA it, if it's acting wierd while its under warranty, it could only get worse once its not
>>55289259
I've never backed up shit, and I'm doing just fine.
>>55289469
Probably don't need SSH enabled.

Changed my phone number because I was getting too many telemarketer calls. I want to use Google Voice. Would using my real phone number potentially open myself up to more telemarketer calls? I.e. by my phone number being on Google's servers, does that mean spammers could now get it?

Is there any real difference between installing addons in Firefox with [about:addons] or through Mozilla's website? I don't have to "approve" the former, but it's not like that's terribly inconvenient.
I have an old PC
It had 4gbs of ram matching 2x2gb DDR2
I added a random 2gb stick and a 1gb stick because I found them laying around.
Is that going to slow the rest of the ram down significantly now that its all considered single channel?
Likewise, I have a 4gb thinkpad t520. 1 stick of 4gb from factory.
I added a random 2gb stick I pulled from a dead laptop. Is this going to be ok, but since its mnot matched it wont be dual channel?
>>55289652
Non matching does not mean not double channel... there is just simm and dimm
So I installed appchan x in order to make my 4chan "experince" a bit easier and manageable.
The issue is however, that I have no idea how to setup filters, I can navigate to the filter section of course, but I have really no clue on how to correctly use the filter (You kinda have to know how to use java I suppose)
All I wanna do is filter simple words and sentences out.
Example: I wanna filter out the word "loli" and "fur thread" for every board possible how would I go on about doing that? Could someone just provide an example on how the command should look, I would appreciate that.

are there any decent instant messenger applications for phones?

no webm support
no gif support
also both compress image quality
not much experience with others

okay.

Discord does all popular file formats I think. Also you can use it on your PC too
Personally I prefer whatsapp tho
if you were going to custom build a laptop to play games really good, where would you go? i've used ibuypower in the past and had really bad experiences and overpaid for shitty hardware
also assume I don't have the ability to order parts and assemble a laptop in my house
>>55290056
yeah currently using WhatsApp
but thanks anon i'll check out discord
>>55290061
I wouldn't. I'd get the laptop I need for doing laptop things, and play whatever happens to run well on it. But I'd more likely be reading on my e-ink device or doing other stuff I can't do at home, because I'm not a pathetic addict. There's loads of pretty good games with minimal hardware requirements.
I wanna play flash games I have downloaded on my Debian VM.
How can I play them without installing a flash browser plugin and jeopardizing my safety/freedom?

why not just torrent the film you want to watch

Why are you trying to watch 720 x 480 video? Is it something obscure that was never released in higher quality?
Album downloaded from bandcamp freezes/crashes foobar. Didn't happen before, doesn't happen with other players, doesn't happen with any of the bands other albums, getting a fresh download changes nothing. So the files aren't corrupted.
What could this possibly be?
How do you crash dump foobar? It freezes before the console shows what happens.

Try buying a real OS.
My computer has been having these problems for a few months now and I was wondering if they're signs the hard drive is failing. They include:
>When I boot up my icons on the desktop will look like the snap on the left, and sometimes stay that way for up to half an hour
>The icons on my task bar will be blank like at the top right, and stay that way for several minutes
>Task manager will say my disk use on that drive is 100% even when doing nothing
>Steam takes around twenty minutes to open at times due to showing that stupid verifiying pop up for ever, even when I close steam properly before shutting of my computer
>Games have all kinds of slow down problems now and ones I could play hundreds of hours on before no longer work well at all
>sometimes it will stay on the boot screen for 15-20 minutes
>it takes forever to save things and access them
I already did a fresh install under a month ago and it's still having these problems and they're extremely frustrating. Is it a problem with the harddrive? It's a 1TB WD Blue Hard Drive 3.5" HDD 7200 RPM if that helps
I'm having trouble installing a fresh install of windows on a broken PC. Getting to the install Windows screen with no trouble. When it asks where do I want to install windows it tells me I can't install it to Disk 0 Partition.
I'm using a DVD RW Drive not a USB.

My friend is worried about getting a different brand/different clock speed RAM. He currently has these sticks of RAM (pic) and he wants to get this https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Certified-OptiPlex-Desktops-SNPXG700C/dp/B005CPTXQA. Is it fine?
>>55290744
It could be, you're spiking io as you're download increases
Backup and move off that drive asap
>>55290811
Allright, thanks for the info. I'll buy a new drive tomorrow then. Is it fine to use the WD Acronis True image software to move all my data off? This is the drive I applied for and it says it comes with software to do that http://www.playtech.co.nz/afawcs0139235/CATID=235/ID=22088/SID=567286761/productdetails.html
>>55290779
No point, it will be throttled down to 200mhz,
>>55289873
If you want to filter "loli," type /loli/i into the filter field.
>>55290843
I used acronis on xp, i cant vouch for how it has changed, but it was solid software back then.
>>55290779
Did you really take the time to censor the part/serial number of 10 year old ram?

Why is 144hz a thing? Why is that the refresh rate most gaming monitors settled on? Seems like an odd number to use as a standard.
The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is that it's 6 times the rate of a standard film, but that seems like an odd thing to go off of for a refresh rate.

Bought an 850W EVGA bronze PSU, and 2 years later I think it's died on me, and my friend said that was a shitty power supply and it's probably dead.
Should I cut my losses and buy something better or just use the 5 year warranty and get another one? I really don't want to spend a lot but I also don't want my pc crashing in another year
>>55291054
It's not an odd thing to go off at all, and that's pretty much the reason. Also 72hz is a multiple of 24, which some monitors go to.
>>55291123
its not shit, and you disassociate your self with him, due to retardation.
Use the warrenty, but you need to give them a solid reasoning for replacing it(they all jew you hard)
>>55291141
Ok thanks, it was one of the highest rated power supplies in that range so I was kinda surprised he said it was shitty. I don't 100% even know if it's the power supply, but me and a (different) friend are gonna set it up on his table and run a few tests on it to find out.
If it is the PSU'S fault, should I just make sure to mention I didn't fuck with anything and it just quit on me?
>>55291163
>jew
Yes just tell them that it keeps turning off your system when ever it is being used alot(or w/e else)
Internet friend needs a new computer. They're using an old piece of shit desktop, and are in the market for one that runs decent enough-- considering getting a laptop.
Specs are:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
3.00GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 333MHz
and the troubling part, speccy reports "ATI AMD Radeon HD 6500 Series" (unknown)
I don't know shit about graphics cards. I don't understand how to tell if one will be better than the other especially when it comes to cards that are really old. I don't even know how good the current card technically is.
Would most new laptops with dedicated graphics be better than that one? It's easy enough to get more, high clocked ram, newer similar spec processor etc, but GPUs?
Scratching my head /g/. They want to do gaming, but don't need to run things at the best settings. They'd likely even settle for the lowest of the low so long as it ran at 60fps. Heeeelppp
(Picture loosely related.)
I can't bill my carrier in the Google Play Store anymore?
What gives?
>>55291176
Well it was freezing every day and giving me a loud beeping noise, I tried memtest and didn't get any bad results and I boot off an SSD that works fine so i figured it must be the power supply or the mobo, so i started with the power supply. I tried replacing it with an old one, it wouldn't power on with it so I put the 850W back in it and now it still won't power on. I'm probably an idiot who just didn't plug something in right but in the case that I friend the PSU or something I hope they don't jew me too hard for it
