Is my HDD dying?
I have Win 10 on a SSD and pretty much everything else on a HDD
Yesterday I was using my PC and everything was normal, but when I went to open a Shadowplay video I recorded, MPC HC froze, but didn't crash and I couldn't close it. And the same thing started happening with all my other programs, except for my browser.
So I restarted, but it got stuck on the "restarting" screen for like 5 minutes, so I just shut it off manually.
Now every program except for my browser gets unresponsive and crashes after a couple of minutes (even Windows explorer.
I tried restarting a bunch of times, and updating Windows. (Still can't shut off or restart without manually holding down the power button) And suddenly my HDD wasn't showing up in explorer, but everything else ran smoothly.
I replugged my HDD and used another cable and now it shows up again, and most programs work, but deleting or moving files, even small files are slow as fuck, and unzipping shit makes 7zip crash.
The video file that kinda started all this is still corrupt and crashes every media player I've tried, but there's no way a video file I've recorded myself could break my drive like that, right?
Is there a for sure way to tell that it's because my HDD is dying?

Classic issue; pc wont boot
It was working perfectly this morning. What I did was
>replace PSU with older, supposedly working PSU
>replace GPU with older, supposedly working GPU
pc boots but no video output, no beeps
>put new GPU back in, still no video
>put new PSU back in, still no video
>replace CPU coolant, still no video
what the fuck did I do wrong?
I had a tough time getting out the CPU power pin when first taking out the PSU, but when I double checked there were no broken pins or anything
all devices power on through the mobo; mice lights come on, external HDD spins up
all fans spin up
no video output no matter what I do, no matter which GPU in in the PC
I'm starting to get mad
>>55544878
also forgot to mention, tried with two different cables on two different monitors. wont boot to nothing
>>55544878
Have you plugged the monitor cable into the motherboard ports instead of the graphics card ports?

I have a google account
When you access online links to google docs or spreadsheets that aren't yours, you will access it with your google account (if you logged in before). Isn't this dangerous? Despite technically being anonymous while seeing the doc, won't my account get exposed to someone else watching the doc at the same time?
>>55544927
no, it's an AMD FX machine. no on board video so I need a GPU to get video out at all
trying to reset the CMOS since that could be an issue but this motherboard is retarded as fuck and it's difficult to find the jumper/button on this thing

andddd reseting cmos did nothing
here's why I'm confused as shit right now
>the CPU is broken
there's no beeps when I startup, and speakers are plugged in and powered on
>the motherboard is broken
all devices and fans are powering on; only thing I can't test is CPU but there are no broken pins on the CPU itself or the power
>PSU is broken
no it's not, I replaced it with one I know is working
>GPU is broken
no its not, I replaced it with one I know is working
>>55544771
You might need to write a longer script instead of just using wget. the thumbnail image urls (and the pages they link to) give you the right identifier for the full size image file (like "nsNOuo6"), but not the file extension, which I think there are 6 or so possible file types they use.
maybe this is what you want.

I have a question about python arrays and matrices
If I declare an array and try to change its values in a loop like so:import numpy as np
x = np.empty(5)
index = 0
while index < len(x):
x[index] = foo
index += 1
I would expect to get an array of 5 foo but instead I just get the original empty generated array.
I would understand if this didn't work because of how arrays are structured, but if I try to do the same thing with matrices:z = np.empty((3, 3))
i = 0
while i < z.shape[0]:
j = 0
while j < z.shape[1]:
z[i][j] = foo
j += 1
i += 1
Then I get a matrix full of foo with no issues
Why does this happen, and is there a way I can loop through an array and assign values at specific indices?
>>55543745

>won't my account get exposed to someone else watching the doc
I don't understand, you seem to contradict yourself here. I don't think anyone else viewing the page is receiving information about your account/identity whenever you see "anonymous aardvark, hippo" etc, in the corner. Google has that information, but not others connected.
when in doubt you can always just open links to those docs in a private browser window (unless you need to edit the docs) which will not send your cookies to google and you won't be logged in.

>>55545132
Yeah I know that we are all anonymous to each other but the account info could still be transmitted somehow, at least to the owner of the document. Specially if you are able to edit the document. Probably it's just paranoia and I have nothing to back up what I'm saying, but it started bothering me seeing my account logged in while checking documents.

do it properly too, remove the mobo from the case and inspect for damage (especially under the heatsinks on the mobo) and other sources of gunk
the alcohol wash is because water is a solvent and will pick up and move about dust and shit that has deposited on the mobo, 70% isopropyl will be pushing your luck as the other 30% is water

Pretty sure my gtx970 died today, but I thought I'd check to see if anyone has had the same problem and fixed it, before I RMA. Card has been fine for 18 months, suddenly today it stops outputting to the monitor while playing GTA. Rebooted and it happened again after 5 mins, tried again and it kept happening before I could get passed the windows log in screen. Managed to get past it a couple times and tried reinstalling nvidia drivers, as well as trying older drivers. They only way I managed to fix it was by switching to integrated graphics, or a different graphics card. Anyone got a solution or is card rip?

Stop doing things that make your phone do things that take up ram.

Nova is great but that alone won't solve memory problems by itself.
1.] Clear all apps running
2.] Long click on apps like Youtube, Chrome, and Clover and touch/drag to "app info"
3.] Clear cache
4.] Restart phone
This will give you the maximum amount of free RAM possible.

Assume a site has banned you.
Changing your browser and accessing the site again regrants you access, like you've never been to it before.

This paired with a 6600k works fine. So i am sure 6600 will be fine as well.
Before anyone asks- it was same cost as 6600. I know you can't overclock with this mobo.

doubt there is many people on 32bit left
but than again thinking about it the ones that are, are stupid enough not to know what this is regardless.
My dad built a workstation with a 4770k in it and a mediocre Asus mobo a long time ago. Pretty much at the time 4770k released.
He barely uses it anymore since he has a decked out laptop his company gave him and his old card is a little outdated.
Basically he offered me to trade my mobo/processor (Asus m5a97 r2.0/FX-8350 OC'ed) for his 4770k and mediocre mobo since my mother is still going to use it.
So far everything I've looked into says it's a good trade despite the mobo/cpu only supporting 1600mhz ram. Even OCed it looks like this Haswell has it beat by a long shot at stock.

>doubt there is many people on 32bit left
Eh, if you don't have a lot of money then an old computer is better than no computer.

Why assume that?
my mom gave me her old iphone 4S. I'd like to jailbreak it and mess around with it a little. It's running 8.1.3. Can I jailbreak and pirate apps for this?
I have ram that runs at 2133mhz but my CPU doesn't support it at that speed. pcpartpicker says the ram will have to run at a lower speed to work.
Will that happen automatically or do I have to change something in the BIOS?

Hey /g/. I have a dilemma. Currently sharing a folder over the network from my Windows machine. I can connect to it from any other machines on the network both Linux and Windows. For some reason though, after my server has like 2 months worth of uptime (windows 7 based server), My linux machine gives the error "failed to retrieve share list from server". This happens when trying to manually connect, when viewing the "network" section of nautilus. The only way I can fix this is to reboot the Windows server.
This problem happens ONLY when trying to connect from my Linux clients. My Windows clients and even my Chromebook users can see it no problem. While the reboot takes literally 20 seconds off the server's SSD, this is an annoyance to me. Gonna find the Linux thread and post there too because this problem is truly vexing.
Is it possible to get 21:9 res on a 16:9 monitor or basically any non-ultrawide monitor?

Outdated copy/pasta, but start here:

So you want to learn programming?
Pick a starting language. For beginners, there are generally two recommended "programming families" that you can choose to start learning:
-Dynamic programming languages, such as: Python, Perl, Ruby, Lisp
-Structured programming languages, such as: C, C++, Java, C#
These are amongst the most popular languages in use worldwide, including 4 from the top 5. Both approaches are perfectly fine, and well-documented.
-Dynamic programming may be a bit more suitable for those who need their programs to do heavy mathematics, and thus it is more popular in academia.
-Structured programming is a bit more suited for making general applications, and thus it is more popular in industries.
If you cannot decide, flip a coin.
If you choose dynamic programming, you may want to start with Python. It is very easy to pick up. Here are some good sources:
http://www.learnpython.org/
http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/
http://www.codecademy.com/en/tracks/python
If you choose structured programming, you may want to start with C, then pick up C++. C is very well documented, and C++ is generally "C, with extra concepts added". Sources:
For C:
http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/c-tutorial.html
http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/
http://www.learn-c.org/
For C++:

>BUT I WANT MORE SOURCES!
Read: https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php?title=Programming_Books
>BUT I WANNA START WITH [LANGUAGE X] INSTEAD!
Sure, if you like. But the languages shown above are considered very good for beginners.
>BUT I WANNA MAKE iPHONE GAMES!
Learn Objective C and/or Swift.
>BUT I WANNA MAKE ANDROID GAMES!

I learned Java first, and now I'm learning C. C deals with so much about pointers and memory, that it makes Java seems like a sandbox environment.
>>55550840
So does C++, but it holds your hand much more. Far better for beginners.
>>55550788
Yea I know ChromeOS is essentially a fork of Linux.
What do you mean with the kernel? you mean the Linux Client's kernel? After a little googling, people recommend editing the smb.conf file for samba.
I didn't think Samba was needed to connect to a windows share? I thought samba and their associated daemons were only to connect to samba shares.
>>55550872
>What do you mean with the kernel?
That was a snarky comment that Linux users often make about how the problem isn't with Linux (the kernel) it's with the third party software you're using to do literally anything.
What is the best white case?
Was advised to factory restore my phone and root it to improve its performance. How would this do so, can anyone explain? I'm new to rooting and it's benefits.

Thanks for your detailed response. I'm a BASH babby, just starting using the CLI, and a toe in the programming pool. So building a script is alien to me and sounds like some learning. Thanks thouigh as you've set me in a good direction. I'll try it. I'd like to pull all the images off the front page of Imgur, but not just Imgur, but learn to do the same with other sites that host similar content. I'd just like to have a folder full of Internet content and to just breeze through them in my own times, hundreds of images downloaded from various sites, to seek the funny interesting shit myself easily without using HTML navigation and having it load slowly.

I'm a poorfag who wants to get into 1440p monitors.
My current interest is in the Dell U2515H because of its price of 329 euros and size, as 25 inches is the ideal for me (and muh pixel density).
Should I buy it? Are there any other IPS 1440p monitors worth looking around for the same price point?
I honestly thought about waiting for 4K, but it's not worth it if I'm not going to get a larger screen.

Also, I'd say to just wait. 2160p monitors are rapidly decreasing in price, so a bit of waiting will pay off massively in the long run.
>>55551567
I put it in a bad way. What I meant is that there's a certain point where it doesn't make any sense to keep increasing, just like phones.

>>55551604
Depends on how well the programs you use handle interface scaling
~200 dpi is about what I would consider the maximum useful on a desktop display.
>>55551768
To be honest, I'm quite sure in the future software will handle it better, so I have no problems with it.
My main concern is getting a good display so I can watch stuff and study. So I don't really care about refresh rate higher than 60Hz and TN panels are absolutely no.
Anyway, do you have any idea about that >55551761
I could go for 400 euros if a cheap 4K is an option.

factory restore to rid youself of possible malware. root to debloat. therk are a lot of services you may not use, probably wont miss, and take up a lot of ram/battery/cpu and you cant get rid of them without rooting. if your the gs5 2gb of ram guy from last thread just factory riset and clear cache often. you may not really need root.

oh, your retarded. nevermind.
not based on taste but on principal. over 7 million people play overwatch (many more play games you cant play on linux) and a ton of people use photoshop AS A COMPANY (i.e. as a means to make money)
linux can do neither of these so in those (mainstream and VERY common) cases it is objectively inferior to windows and even mac when it comes to video editing/image production.
i see the advantages linux offers and appreciate what it is i just dont know why the majority of /g/ blanket hates windows.
>>55552097
I'm retarded for not playing along with your arbitrary restrictions? Whether or not it has Photoshop doesn't matter, it's a better OS. Whether or not it has Overwatch doesn't matter, it's a better OS. You're the retarded one if you can't comprehend this.

As someone not looking for thinness, low weight and low power consimption, may I ask why? Thank you for your time.
>>55552587
Low resolution with low refresh rate
>>55552587
It isn't worth paying good money for a CRT.
Find a free one. Only pay if you want a good high quality one such as a FW900
>>55552623
But CRT's don't really have a fixed resolution and it's default refresh rate goes up to 85Hz. I'm just afraid the colours and the contrast are gonna suck.
>>55552628
I'm picking it up for free so I'm only afraid of wasting space, not money.
I'm off to get it now, will report. I appreciate your input and time, thanks.
>>55552636
It can go up to 85Hz at 1024x768. If you want to push it to its max of 1280x1024 you have to drop the refresh rate to 65Hz and it'll cause eyestrain. So basically you're stuck with a small as fuck resolution or one that's halfway decent and causes eyestrain
