I need to burn a bootable Windows 10 USB. Every computer in my network is heavily infected. So I came over to a friend's house to use his laptop.
Just ran antiviruses and it found 3 trojans on his laptop. Can I proceed with burning Windows 10 images onto my USB nonetheless on this computer or can these trojans tamper with the process?

I've been torrenting recently, and while the file downloads regularly, the torrent client doesn't upload anything... Am I doing something wrong?
Doing a clean sweep (formating) for my computer, since I've been getting a lot of BSOD.
I'm thinking I'll disconnect my SSD, and run Killdisk to clean my HDD. Then remove my HDD, and install a clean windows 7 (and upgradte til windows 10 straight after) on my SSD.
Anything I should keep in mind before I do this?

Which is really really fucking stale. Look I'm not trying to set rules here but is changing the stale default OP /sqt/ image once in a while really that bad?
>>55302019
>Which is really really fucking stale.
Because you think of everything as a meme. Drop the cancerous 9gag logic and you'll just see the /sqt/ photo. It would be stale if it was some overused. It's not though, it's just the /sqt/ photo.
>is changing the stale default OP /sqt/ image once in a while really that bad?
Yes.

>>55303740
I didn't listen to the memes and have Ubuntu on my machine. I'm generally satisfied with it 2bh, besides the ethics of it of course. If you don't like Kubuntu though, then try Mint or Fedora. Fedora is okay for beginners but it doesn't hold your hand as much as the others.

what do you mean by this? What did you not like or what are you looking for? I usually just use normal ubuntu with unity as i dont have a problem with it, looks nice enough, and i usually set up keyboard shortcuts anyways. Just look up popular DEs (desktop environments) and give them a try.
Where can I find shit to clean on my C:/ drive?
C:/ is getting too full for my comfort. I want to clean it up but I haven't touched it in ages. I install everything on D:/ so it must be temporary and garbage files filling it up I guess.

when is the embargo on the rx480 going to be lifted speaking inhours
I was trying to replace a power supply but I decided to go back to the original one, but when I went to reboot I forgot to plug in the power to my HDD. (Not my SSD which has my OS, the HDD is secondary for storage)
So I turned it off, unplugged and plugged in my HDD and my computer wouldn't boot at ALL. No lights, nothing. I unplugged it again, it crashed instantly. So when it rebooted I went into BIOS and selected the SSD, and it works fine now. But I'm afraid to plug my HDD back in, but I absolutely need it for work.
Anyone know what my problem is? (Besides being an idiot)
>>55305350
if in doubt, test it on another machine, you can put your hardrive in an external enclosure and test it on another machine
also back up your essential data, harddrives fail constantly, its what they do
>>55305350
>unplugging the SSD to plug the HHD and vice versa.
You are indeed retarded duh.
I'm currently trying to download a torrent, but it keeps stopping every so often and giving me a "Missing files" error. What's more, my hard drive keeps making weird noises while downloading it.
When I re-check the torrent, it turns out the files are still there, so they aren't actually being lost or anything, which suggests to me that it could be the result of a bug or a poorly created torrent... but if that's the case, then what's with the noises my hard drive is making?
Other info:
- I am downloading two other torrents which have so far given me no errors.
- My hard drive is only ~6 months old.
Can you kill microsoft excels ability to auto correct numbers into dates?
I had just finished copying a bunch of tables into excel and then it decided to turn some columns into dates and I realized that I've never in my life have found that feature useful and I'm sick of manual fixing that all the time.
I googled around a bit and found the not very helpful manual solutions I already know of.
>>55305473
What client are you using? Also post the torrent faggot.
>>55305509

Use LibreOffice or OpenOffice instead. They won't fuck you in the ass.
>>55305533
Cool thanks. After a decade of assfucking I guess I finally had enough.
>>55305473
What kind of noises? Normal seeking noises? Or something unusual?
>>55305551
I think it sounds like seeking noises, but usually I only get those when re-checking torrents, not downloading them.
>>55303899
no one?
>>55305400
I tried it in my old PC as well and had the same problem. PC would boot fine without the hard drive, but when plugged in, was completely dead. If I have to pay for data recovery I will but I feel like this is a connection issue, as there were no signs of my hard drive dying as I could tell. No clicking sounds, no broken files, etc. I feel like it's a boot issue but I can't figure out what or why.
>>55305406
I never unplugged the SSD, whatchu talking bout
Anyone used the logitech unifying receivers before? Is it any good?
I swore off installing logitech drivers because they're a big pile of fucking bloat and unnecessary. I wouldn't be surprised if this made me lose some functionality with my stuff, but on the other hand it would be cool to use a mouse on both my desktop or laptop without switching the plugs.

TL;DR
>Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
>Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing
>MSI H81M-P33 Micro ATX LGA1150
>Kingston HyperX Fury8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
>Western Digital 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
>GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card
>XFX TS 550W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply
Everything external is being salvaged from older computers and such.
So, my stupid questions in no particular order:
>SSD vs HDD, which do I need and how much? What if I want to do some recording in the future (video+audio)?
>GTX 970, is it a meme? Should I substitute for an alternative
>Intel core I5 enough for moderate gayman or should I jump for an I7? What's the difference, both are quad-core?
>How do I go about picking a case?

Get an SSD. You also don't need a K series part if you're using an H81 CPU. Get the Fractal Design Define S/R5.
>>55305696
Also find a better CPU cooler. I recommend Noctua.
Is my airflow ok?
How do I get rid of System update popups on a Boost ZTE Warp Android, without doing the update?
>>55305696
dont jump on the 970 wait the few hours until the rx480 is going to be released and make your own decision,
strong points of the rx480 seem to be:
lower power consumption and vr-ready so I guess you can gaymen comfy on 1080p
ssd is definetly not a meme, but ssd size is dependant on your budget, but I wouldnt get more space than 512 gb just because ssd's are getting cheaper every year
as for cpu, go for whatever you want, if you want performance per core I'd go with the xeon 1231v3

The 212 was recommended as a budget option, I didn't think this setup would generate too much heat honestly. I'm recycling a case fan from an old 2002 Dell desktop
>>55305804
rx480 release when? And what are the real differences? I saw some people blasting the 970 in place of the 380 last thread. I'm trying real hard not to break my $700-$750 budget and I don't need a 1080p 60fps machine as my monitor is gonna be a 720p 60Hz tv
>>55305798
How can you have fans in 4 directions without obstructing some? Is the computer floating in the air?
>inb4 in the drawing you're seeing it from below
Then don't call it side intake, call it top intake. Also it's important how much air is displaced by every fan, which depends on the size and RPM.
>>55305798
depends on cfm of the fans
if they're all identical, you're doing it wrong because you should go for positive pressure (more intake than exhaust) in the case, so dust isn't sucked in through the cracks

Yeah that's the same in microsoft excel, but not very helpful when you just want to copy paste 4 tables containing like 288 cells each into a page.
Then there are better manual solutions than typing ' 1152 times.
I was under the impression that I could actually disable/turn off/murder the date auto correct in LibreOffice unlike in microsoft excel, but I guess I was mistaken.
Thanks anyways.

I'm meeting a guy on Craigslist tomorrow who has a bunch of 1TB external drives for $15 each. No models given -- he says USB 2.0 w/ some Firewire and eSATA. Planning to pick up two or three and possibly shucking them since I have the ports. I've never dealt with externals before, so are there any models I should specifically avoid? Should I prefer the Firewire/eSATA?
Might sound real fucking stupid but my 1080p/60hz monitor doesn't 'feel' 60hz

You know you can select all the cells and just type ' once to input the 1152 's right?
>>55306193
Go for toshiba if you can.
>>55306193
How are you planning on using them?
>>55306249
It is mostly irrelevant.
If I wanted a manual solution I could've stayed with Microsoft Excel. Selected the cells in question, then chosen Text as format option for those cells, and pasted in the table I wanted unchanged.
I don't know you can select all the cells, and type ' once and input 1152 's in the cells though.
Not that it would matter or make things easier, but I'm curious how I can do that and then paste in tables over it and have the desired results.

My family just switched to Verizon from T-mobile. I need to unlock my dad's iPhone so he can use it on Verizon, T-mobile is taking forever to send us the unlock code. What's the easiest way to unlock an iPhone 6s for free? Google shows mostly paid results.
>>55306565
Just wait for the unlock code. Normally if you just call the carrier (if you aren't on a contract/payment plan) they will give you the code for no charge (AT&T does this, not sure about T-Mobile). When you threw the Verizon SIM card into the phone, did it pull the carrier data or no?
>>55306622
He reset the phone because he actually took my sister's iPhone, and she took the extra new 6s+ because they had a buy one get one free deal and my mom bought a new phone when we switched. I was just trying to get it unlocked faster because T-mobile said it could take up to six days to send the unlock code.
>>55306665

I don't work for T-Mobile support but they should be able to pull that code for you over the phone.

It looks like you've had enough with proprietary software. I totally understand you, and I advise you to stop using proprietary software as soon as possible. Since you have already started using free (as in freedom) software, Why not installing Ubuntu to use it as your main OS? Everything you want to do can be done in Ubuntu, no matter how customized you need it to be. You'll thank me someday.
Since we have two active question threads I might as well post my question here as well.

I want to buy a filter for my case. However, the filter that im looking at attaches to the case via magnets. Is it safe to stick to my case? I have to ask because when I grew up with the idea that magnets anywhere near a computer is a bad thing.

So i've been using video download helper to get a stream i otherwise could not have downloaded, weird thing is that although in the browser playback is super smooth soon as i try to play the saved file there's lags and jerky movements everywhere. So i tried to import it into avidemux to re-write it but then it says "Some timing infomations are incorrect" and asks me if i should drop said informations

>>55299438

I believe in security through isolation. Due to the current state of technology you cannot avoid using dangerous closed source software and habits. However It's upto you how seriously you are going to take your security.
Although Privacy and Security are correlated, are completely different priority. Sometimes you actually want your privacy to be breached to a certain extent to be secure from malicious attackers.
Here are my security advices:
Install GNU/Linux. Have MAC or RBAC enabled. Don't log in as a root.
Only install the softwares from your distro's secure repo
Use the Grsec kernel with PaX patches.
Use uBlock origin. HTTPS everywhere, Disconnect and Decentraleyes.
Use a Secure DNS.
Never keep yourself logged into anything.
If you want to compromise your privacy, enable two phase log in, However please do not link your email IDs as "referential IDs". Just make sure one email ID does not trace back to the other one you got.
Use a password manager. Best way is to maintain own encrypted spreadsheet.
Never use flash.
Install and keep firewall enabled at startup.
Keep bluetooth and printer service disabled by default.
Never give your windows VM any network access.
Do not bank or shop online unless you really have to. NEVER INSTALL YOUR BANK'S APP IN YOUR PHONE.
Randomly change all your 16 digit passwords. Use your spreadsheet to keep track of it.
Analyse your data traffic to check for network tapping.
Always keep a mirror backup of your data. Create your own cloud storage if you are really serious.
Lastly, only visit trusted websites
Reminder that there are malwares can exploit your host file system. Bidirectional file and clipboard sharing should be handled with caution.
>Protip:
You cannot "download" or "install" security
>>55307822
not 28 mb of storage obviously, I'm not sure which word I should use, bandwith maybe?
>>55307280
The only components that can be fucked up by magnets are hardrives and floppy drives. The magnets on the filter are to weak to mess with anything like that. Just avoid big strong magnets. Also I think a crt can be messed up with magnets, but again you need a strong one.
>>55307822
depends, its likely you are doing download speeds in megabytes, however quoted speeds are in megabits, and 1 bit is 1/8th of a byte.
so if its 2 megabytes it will be 16 megabits of your 30 (unless you did the conversion and youve got a 240 Mb/s quoted speed)
so you're probably using over half
>>55307857
Thank you! I appreciate it.
>>55307822
If you are SURE it is 30MBps, then it is fine. Nearly no difference.
But many, many internet providers actually announce in Mbps (notice the non-capital b). A b is around an eight of a B.
So you have actually arround a total of 3.75 MBps, of which you are using 2.
1.75 should be enough for most cases of streaming though, but im not sure if it can handle 3 instances of streaming.
>>55307882

>want (kind of need) more fans for my pc
>mobo doesnt have enough cpu fan slots
is there a work around for this?
>>55308140
You can use a splitter to have 2 fans per header
>>55308204
Shit.
I need to research how to do that.
Can the CPU fan socket be split to also use a normal fan?
>>55308204
Will that reduce the max RPM of both fans connected to it?
my debit card got used at another location like 3 months ago and i changed all my information and blah blah, today my friend had the last few hundred dollars swiped from his bank account and it was used at the same location as mine was 3 months ago. does this mean 100% there is a skimmer at the gas stations/atms we use?
>>55308237
No.
You can overload the header, though.
>>55308237
With 2 fans it should be fine, most fans are under .5 amps and the headers should be rated for 1 amp.
>>55308218
I guess you could, but you can only have one tachometer feedback so its recommended to use two of the same fans if you're using a split header.
>>55308028
Carrier depends on where you live. Do some research on who has the best coverage in your area. As for what kind of phone to use dumb phones are strong and easy to use and iphones are a little harder to use but you can do more shit and android phones have the most funtionality but they are slightly harder as well. Dumb phones also have more battery. If you want something cheap get a dumb phone or a really cheap shitty android. Beware of cheap android phones because they can get bloated and become slow.
>>55307517
So you're losing access to the local network itself, but still have internet access basically? That sounds like OpenVPN when using redirect-gateway (forces all IP traffic through the VPN), but it doesn't seem to be enabled from your logs.
All I can say is to double check your IP configuration to make sure everything is correct and that you don't have any potential conflicts between thee local network and the bridged one from your home.
So I had always thought that my laptop had internet problems.

Anyone know what's going on here?
Why do companies even release stock versions of their graphics cards? Fucking nobody buys them since third-party versions are always far superior. The only advantage they provide is time (a few weeks after release, before third-party versions have been released yet) if you're incredibly inpatient and you've got money to blow. Why would they not just have third-party cards prepped for the release date instead?

Yes. Anything you have unrestricted access to, it has access to.

logical increments, but with all those recent releases I would just wait that things calm down if I could. And that real a good benchmarks of the RX 480 are released.
>>55306993
just use bash and read the man pages / google it
grep, sort and diff are what you're looking for.
According your question you got two "files", or at least two entries.
use grep and sort and store it on a temporary file
use grep and sort on the second entry and store it on a second temp file
compare the two files using diff.
I don't know if that's the best way to do it, but it should works.

For fun, I want to create a python program that will collect all the data while I play Overwatch.
Preferably, I'd like the data to be the amount of keystrokes entered, internet speed, characters chosen, specials activated, life of player, etc.
Are there any anons that can provide input on how to get started with this in Python?
Not sure if this is over my head, but I'm just curious as to how one would do this.

Can't be accomplished practically with Python.
Do you guys suggest any torrent downloader?
Being using μTorrent so far, usually gets the job done, but some times it just stops accepting new torrents and starts telling me that the particular torrent is already on the list (even though it isn't), google's only solution is to reinstall, which is rather frustrating if i'm already downloading something in the first place.
>>55308896
What other language would be able to accomplish this? I'm open to any language.
I'm mostly trying to challenge myself to get this done. But it sounds more and more like I should find something a little easier.
>>55308910
Switch to qBittorrent immediately and uninstall μTorrent.
>>55308910
If it says it's already on the list, it's already on the list.
>>55308938
>STALLEDtorrent
Funny.
>>55308932
R is specifically designed for this kind of stuff, but I recommend C since it actually has other practical applications outside of weird ass analytical situations. The big problem here is Overwatch tries to obfuscate some of the information you want to protect against botters, so you'd need to devise a system that can analyze your screen. It won't be fun. If I were you I'd either give up or at least drop the stuff not directly related to inputs on your end.

what does /g/ think of this set up. No storage picked out because i am already have some.
Ive got a laptop with pirated Windows that I want to sell. Is there any way to revert it back to its original windows/cdkey?
>>55309001
>not directly related to input on your end
Does that mean I could potentially create something that collects the data from others? I don't necessarily need the input about myself.
Are there any games that don't obfuscate the information as well as Overwatch?
Again, I'm pretty flexible with everything. This is more of a project for me to fuck around with.

Due to budget constraints I lack the funds for a psu but im in dire need of as gpu. I was gonna get the gtx 750 ti but then saw the Asus gtx950 which I've heard does not require external power and can run via the motherboard.

>My question is, will the asus gtx950 (linked above) be able to run without external power? Or should i just get a gtx750ti
>>55309040
No, I meant drop the stuff like what character you played, what abilities you used, when you died, etc. The things that are not keystrokes or an internet speedtest. I guess you could set a trigger to count how often you pressed the ability binds and make some extra inputs to denote changes in character and deaths, but that gets unwieldy fast. I would assume most multiplayer games employ such a system. Runescape doesn't, I know that much.
>>55307182
Neither of those anons, but I wanna know this too.
>>55308938
Ok i guess, but why is that?
>>55308951
it isn't, some times there's nothing on the list at all, but it says it is.
How badly do you lie on assessment tests for a new job? The basic requirements are pretty much "have a pulse and social skills", but the assessment asks for experience that I'm not too sure of. Should I be humble or act like I'm God's gift?

Is there a way to change sleep to hibernate in Windows 10?
Is sleep actually bad for your SSD?
>>55309266
Did you do the thing that was suggested the last time you asked this question, or are you just waiting for someone to tell you to ignore it?
>>55302298
Get the fuck off /g/.
>>55309348
Hibernate is bad for your SSD because it saves all your memory to disk.
Sleep mode just uses a few watts more than shutting down completely.
>>55309349
I'm just being lazy and not wanting to open up my case.
>>55309372
Oh good to know. I heard some stories of sleep being bad for Windows 10 but it sounds like just rumors.
some websites i browse use this site as their video embed streaming thing
in order to watch them i have to disable my adblock, obviously the site is riddled with ads so i dont like that
is there a way to add the embed thing to adblock (i use ublock origin) without doing it for the whole site
>>55309374
So fuck off and enjoy your ticking time bomb.
>>55309348
>>55309372
Since windows 8 there's the fastboot, and windows instead of shutting down the computer it just put it on sleep mode or hibernate mode.
Anyone remember what was that exactly ?

Don't get a founders 1070, get an aftermarket one for a little extra (or less?)
Lower temps, way higher speeds and way less noise.
Otherwise it's fine.

This guy is retarded, 1070 is the second best GPU to even exist. Just look up titan X/980ti benchmarks then add on some FPS, even more if you buy a good card with OC capabilities.

This GPU kinda sucks ass and I'd probably replace it with a 1070, but this seems like a pretty damn good price even before I have to shell out 450 more. Your thoughts?

I've got a two Dell poweredge 1950s for free. I was wondering if I could store then in a free standing garage and run Ethernet to my house. Is there any reason I couldn't do this.
I have the following rough setup:
HTPC (Fedora 24/Gnome 3.20) <--HDMI--> Receiver <--HDMI--> Television
If the receiver's input is changed while on the lock screen, returning to the HTPC periodically produces a blank, grey screen. Everything works fine if I leave it unlocked. What might cause this?
I bought a laptop recently without realising that like macbooks it has a non removable battery (fucking acer)
Obviously this battery will eventually just go to shit on me, has anyone taken out a non removable battery and used the laptop without it? Does it work like most removable laptops do ie when I take it out the laptop doesn't care and lets me use the laptop plugged in with no shit. I get the feeling it might pull some "no buddy you need a battery in here for me to work!" shit
By what means can someone "steal" a phone number? I really don't get it, surely you need physical access to the phone to facilitate something like this?

No, that's not my problem. I know how to take the battery out though it's a hell of a lot more effort than it should be.
I'm wondering if I take the (non removable) battery out is it likely that the laptop will let me power it up and use it without pulling some "insert battery!!" bullshit or something

>>55310011
win8.1 but I imagine not letting me use it without a battery connected would be built into the laptops bios or design and not so much OS related.
>>55310047
It probably won't matter. Try it and see.
>>55310057
That would require me voiding the warranty which is why I'm asking rather than popping it open and just testing it right now. It's not as easy as unscrewing some screws on this unfortunately. (it's screws and then a bunch of plastic tabs which like to snap off)
>>55309990

What would you recommend. I can spend ~200 on motherboard, PSU, case, CPU and RAM. I already have drives for it.
So I just got a new hard-drive and when I plug it in and try to boot, the computer is stuck at "starting windows".
The drive isn't being recognized in my BIOS as anything for some reason, but if it isn't even being recognized how it it effecting my windows loading?
Checked to make sure it wasn't booting from the new drive, it's booting correctly
The fuck is wrong? Did I get shipped a dead drive or something?
>>55310274
Don't know. Never worked with Plex.
Start a thread. I'd suggest an A8-7600 build just because it's going to be a solid all-around performer and really the only time I would suggest an APU (when there's no sign of real gaming but having the option might add some value down the line), but I'm not entirely sure that Plex doesn't have requirements that might be better served by something else.

How does that look. I've been looking and the and Apus don't work well because Plex doesnt utilize GPU power.
First time taking apart a PC here, it's a shitty old 2002 Dell tower.
I have managed to get the fan off myself, but am kind of stuck. I want to disconnect the motherboard (bottom right)from everything else and remove it so I can get at the screws to open up the PSU (bottom left)
Problem is I'm not sure what I can and can't go pulling on or really where to start. Any help would be appreciated.
Pray to /g/sus the picture doesn't flip, can give close-up shots on request if need be
>>55310852

Also not sure if this was retarded or not, but I made the SATA port it was connected to hot swapable in the BIOS and tried to plug in the HDD once windows was running, and it just froze everything.

>>55311068
>>55311098
Mostly just tooling around to learn about how everything goes together to see if I can get more accustomed to working with pc partd before I build my own computer, I was also interested in seeing the output of the PSU just for comparison's sake.
>>55310977
I have pretty much come to accept this, it's more experimentation than anything at this point.
>>55311154
I'm not going to take off the PSU cover and play around with it or anything, I'm just trying to learn how to take this thing apart and put it back together.
I have a PS4, the HDMI goes into my monitor, a 3.5mm runs from the audio out into my speakers, which I then plug my headphones into.
Is audio latency something I need to be concerned with, what with the source being run through two other devices before getting to my headphones? Or is it like, a couple of ms max sort of thing?
I want to start a blog/web about online comic viewing and .cbr downloads, obviously not legal but there are already a lot online so I want to at least try. Obviously I have web development studies, but what should I be careful about? Are there any hostings more laid back with the piracy stuff? Also cost friendly and stuff. What about adsense? Can I use it or will I just ask for a cease and desist letter or straight sue? Any suggestions?
>>55311220
If you haven't noticed any latency up to this point I don't see how its an issue.
>>55309404
So I rebooted my PC to install updates. When the CMOS error came up I went into the BIOS just to see what my settings were. I noticed the smart fan option wasn't on so I turned it on. Saved and exited. Installed the updates. Computer rebooted and this time no CMOS error. Rebooted it 3 times and it didn't come up again. What? Why? What did I do?
>>55311156
Looks good.
>>55311177
PSU is a sealed unit. You don't need to take it apart to learn how to put together a computer. You're free to do so -- they're kinda neat, but if you don't know anything about electronics you're not gonna know what you're looking at.
And that old prebuilt with all its ribbon cables is messier than a new ATX build is gonna be. They're actually pretty simple to put together. But you'll learn something by playing with the parts. It's good practice to see how all sorts of things are put together and come apart.
>>55311331
Ah, good to know. I think the PSU was connected to the case just inside its box, which was the only reason I was trying to clear everything out and get a better look.
I know everything in that prebuilt is super outdated, but does that include the fan? Seems like the kind of thing that wouldn't go obsolete, unless older model fans are just ridiculously underpowered.
