You boys know the drill.
1. What is considered a good black depth for an LCD display? Is 0.35 cd/m2 good?
2. What is considered a good contrast ratio for an LCD display? Is 800:1 good?
>>55585524
those are fine, and you should only really care about those specs if you read measurements from independent reviewers, because e.g. a contrast ratio of 3000:1 is most likely a "dynamic" contrast ratio, so that at any given time the contrast might actually be 800:1 but the monitor changes in brightness to emphasize bright/dark scenes in movies and games
Latest test build of sumatrapdf or the last stable one?
I fucked up my debian jessie intall by installing something because my graphic drivers weren't working (integrated skylake graphic card) and now OpenGL doesn't work. I've tried a lot of things and I've been stuck for a week, so I'm going to reinstall but I don't want to copy over my data. Is it possible to make a new partition and intall the new OS there and then delete the old one without harming the data?

I have been trying to setup a multi boot with Windows 10, several versions Debian 8.5 and a few generic data partitions. I have tried everything I can think of and read many an article on similar matters which claim it is the simplest of matters. Once I have taken a good nap, I plan to update the computer's BIOS and try again to see if that was the problem. I not asking for help at this point as this mess has gotten very complex and many are questioning why I want to bother with my setup as other simpler setups work without issue.

Is it possible? Yes. Will the Debian installer successfully do it? Hopefully!
I honestly prefer Arch/Gentoo's installation method because there's no automatic installer that can fuck up. The user is in complete control of partitioning.
Anyways, you should make a backup of your important stuff first just to be safe.
>>55588188

Oh, and just in case you're literally retarded, I'll point out that you _will_ have to copy the data from the old partition to the new one after installing.

Alright, you have 2 primary partitions. One (sda1) is for / and the other (sda5) is for swap.
You need to shrink your sda1 partition, and then install Debian to the newly-created empty space. Just tell the installer to use sda5 for swap.
After installation, you'll have / on sda3, swap on sda5, and an unmounted sda1 partition containing your old installation. So you can just mount sda1 to /mnt and copy whatever you need.

So the thing is, I hate programming and I really enjoy exploring operational systems (different distros and such), networking and databases, should I even try getting into security without a strong programming base (although I don't know much about it, I find it very interesting)?
I want to build a computer because I know you get the best bang for your buck, but I just don't know where to start. All I know is Newegg has good prices, and cdw is alright too.
Pointing me in the direction of the right resources and websites would be very helpful. The only thing I can recall is some video by someone posted here of a qt explaining building a computer and whatnot.

There are two options.
Legacy DVD = installs normally, but as old MBR
EFI DVD = gives text terminal for GRUB with no install options
That is the madness, very carefully follow tutorials but get different results.

No ip next to default gateway
>>55592780
okay, tryipconfig /renewand check again if ip shows there now
Is there an Android alarm clock app where the alarm can be triggered by someone visiting an URL, instead of at a specific time?
>>55592780
Does your pc show a lan connection or does it say it's disconnected?
>>55592765
That is not as true as it use to be, now low and many middle range computers are cheaper to just buy.
You only get savings if you are going high end, or have a special application that the manufactures either don't do or over charge on.

Plus any youtube video on pc building. If you are a gamer start your build with an i5 6600k unless on a very tight budget.
>>55592807
I'm planning to spend a lot (for me) on this one. Definitely upwards of two grand.
>>55592810
Thanks very much, I'll check these out.
Hi /g/, I'm buying a new motherboard for an i5 2500k, but it seems LGA 1155 boards have ceased production, pushing their prices up. Are Z77 boards the only ones that can overclock? or are there other types where I could overclock it, that might not cost £150+? thanks.
>>55592867
What are you planning on doing that warrants that price? Also check out microcenter if you're near one, and check slickdeals here and there for deals. You can probably shave a couple hundred off just from that.
I get the white blinking underscore on a black screen after going through the bios when booting from my ssd. Tried ntfsfix, no luck.
Posting from ubuntu liveusb, other devices are bootable
>>55592881
Don't go sandybridge. There's no point reaching that far back. Go Ivy at least
>>55592906
are you sure that there is bootloader on your usb? if yes, is it configured properly?
>>55592920
I already own the 2500k. My current motherboard broke and I need a new one I don't plan on upgrading my CPU, only on replacing the mobo.
>>55592906
What OS is on the SSD? What things have you done since it quit working correctly?
>>55592792
Still nothing
I'm going to start taking pics from phone so you know what exactly is going on. I feel like I'm at fault here. I don't have much time left before I have to go either. Link light on modem is blinking if that matters.
>>55590900
Have you checked the log files (wherever they end up)?
>>55592964
it looks like your PC can not establish connection with the router then
my last idea is reset (there should be some really small button on router that resets ALL settings, you will probably have to press it with pencil or something)
>>55592964
If you say it's a common problem, it could just be the router is dead. It really should have responded to something by now if the cable isn't dammaged. Routers are cheap, might as well upgrade.
You can try a 30-30-30 reset. Have the computer's wifi off, only connect lan to PC. Hold reset button for a minute and a half. 30 seconds plugged in, 30 unpluged, 30 plugged in. Then try logging in again

My PC completely broke yesterday, and I am unaware whether it was a mobo or a psu issue. If I replace the PSU, and attempt to boot with a broken motherboard, will other parts get damaged?
>>55592945
Windows 10, RX480 installed and some extra ram. Booted fine for some time, removed the ram, but that doesn't resolve it.
Does the WD MyCloud EX 2 NAS enclosure expose your data to WD? I read online that you have to make an account to access it. I wasn't sure if they meant a local account or a WD account. If the latter it seems like they would easily have access to my files.
>>55592046
>>55592148
So nothing else you can think of?
>>55593066
So it was working correctly, you put in a GPU and RAM, and your next boot it was busted?
>>55593007
>>55593028
I do believe it's the router. I've factory reset it before and it'll show the internet light on the router as green instead of yellow and I'll be able to connect to the internet briefly before the light goes to yellow and then I can't.
>>55592623
Ok it definitely changed, but now it's stuck like this, while jumping to 400/1050 for a split second in a spastic but periodic manner.
It does show the correct settings when running a game though so it's progress I guess.
What am I missing now?
I slightly damaged my motherboard's cpu socket when removing it from case. Literally about 300 of the hundreds of pins are bent. Would this be enough to do any damage? Will the motherboard work when I next try to boot?

I want a kindle to read manga on with the following, minimal botnet, great battery and on amazon uk with prime
Local Bestbuy have GTX 960 2 gb for 116$, should i bite the bullet or wait for the rx 460?
>>55593146
shit. meant to say literally about 3 of the hundreds of pins are bent.
>>55593096
Always assume any data in 'the cloud' can be accessed by the service provider.
>>55593154
That's a statement not a question.
>>55593159
Depends on the pins
1 pin in the right area is usually still functional, 3 pins the odds are something will be fucked.
>>55593109
Some copiers are better than others. The drives could have fragmented files making the transfer inefficient, small files are sometimes harder to backup than large ones. Your usb controller could be having trouble. If you can remove the internal and connect it to another pc internally or with a cheap sata/usb3 connector you could test it against that.
>>55593176
This is a local machine I mean. I'm aware that an ISP may be able to sniff data if I'm accessing it over the internet but I don't want my data exposed just sitting on a local network.
>>55593177
ok, I want a kindle to read manga on with the following, minimal botnet, great battery and on amazon uk with prime which should I get? currently considering

Fuck yes anons. I got it working again. Thanks to your help. I appreciate your time and effort in helping me.
I've been changing my MAC address in windows by going to the properties of my LAN and changing the value through the network address there.
This is always (and should be) a temporary change until I click "not present" or reinstall windows or whatever
However recently my computer froze on log on and I had to hard shut down my computer and restart upon loading windows my temporary mac address had somehow become my permanent MAC address.
I reinstalled windows to see what would happen - same as my last temporary MAC address still
This means it has changed the (eeprom?) or whatever at the hardware level which I'm 100% sure isn't supposed to happen unless you go real far out of your way to do
Anyone have any idea why this has happened?

Anyone?
Is there any Android tablet that doesn't blow dick or do you have to buy something from China? The Pixel C looks like the only decent one right now but I don't know if it's worth 500 bucks
>>55590451
Shameless self-bump
>>55593157
Its a good price for a 960
There isn't enough solid info on the 460 to say what would be a better choice.

I'm trying to set up vorpx for my Vive and I don't know jack shit about what the optimal settings are for various game or how to find them. also does anyone know any games I can play in the pseudo-vr mode without microwaving my brain?
>>55593223
Depends on if you're in a hurry and your budget's tight.
>>55593191
Thanks. If I tried to launch it and the socket was fucked, do you thin it would damage the CPU? Because I'd like to be able to clarify if my motherboard is even broken, before spending £100 replacing it. Thanks.
>>55593096
Don't use WD regardless, theres an image floating around /g/ that shows how terrible the failure percentages are for WD and Seagate, etc.
I would get a NAS by another company
>>55593193
See I find it weird because it starts off at 25 MB/s then decays at a steady rate.
Like I just restarted it and it went from 14 to fucking 121
Started back on the same file (merged and all)
I don't know much, but I feel like this is abnormal and I can't help but feel it's some stupid ass setting or something I fucked up on
I'm actually watching the speed drop at a steady rate as I type this, it's at 103 now.
>>55593111
It was working correctly, I had to reseat the ram the first time around but it worked reliably after that.
Getting a MacBook as a lightweight "getting shit done on the train to/from London from the home counties" box. Money not huge issue but m5 over m3 seems worthwhile upgrade, m7 not so worth it. Yes? Also space grey preferred over silver?
>>55593336
Happens a lot. Try a defrag, a better copier, or diferent hardware/connections
>>55593377
So you're saying you added the new hardware, then your system worked ok for a few days, then randomly stopped?
Anything I can do with an old gaming laptop that runs hot(blue screened twice after two clean installs of win10). My thinkpad X60t surprisingly runs better and it's older.
Ubuntu partition runs fine, but don't know if it will sell under a foreign O.S.
Really trying to get another laptop at the moment.
>>55593298
Stop spreading fud.
>>55593481
>a better copier
Sorry I'm retarded, you mean something other than copy/pasting in windows I assume?
And hardware was the first thing I tried, switched cables and new ports just to make sure it wasn't a physical problem.
>>55593289
anyone got any suggestions?
>>55593522
Yeah like teraCopy. And by hardware I mean something more drastic like getting a different HDD enclosure or putting them both in another PC. But considering it's just a question of time you probably don't care that much
Windows won't update, recognize the download folder, or run basically anything. Fresh install.
I knew I should have gentoo'd. Any ideas on fixing this mess?

I want to make a program that:
>does a Google news search of a company on the stock market
>opens the first page of results
>performs a word count
>interacts with the stock market to learn what words mean for stock prices and after learning enough, making investments
I know there's a site out there which I can't find which is meant to teach the last step, but I have no idea how you write a program that does the rest.
>>55593584
Which version of windows? Has it been installed on that computer before?

If I use the VGA connector on the motherboard insted of my video card to go to the monitor, why doesn't it detect the video card/use the video card for rendering graphics?
Is it just the way the stuff is designed?
>>55593616
Yes
>>55593605
Everything you're doing has been done before, and with more resources. It doesn't end well

Thank you, I'll check that out right now.

Making an AI that doesn't perform real investments but instead virtual ones (playing with virtual money and clientside stocks) is a good way to keep it safe.
Why bother to reply on /sqt/ if you don't have a real response anyway?
All it does is force me to repost the question later since people will skip past questions that have replies.

7 home premium. yes, drive was completely wiped for re-install.
My friend wants to upgrade his GPU to the rx 480 but refuses to upgrade his shitty athlon a6 860k with it and I'm trying to tell him about how much bottlenecking he will be experiencing if he doesn't upgrade his cpu but he isn't listening.
How can I prove to him that his shitty cpu will bottleneck his rx 480?

When microsoft put out a new Window 7 update client, they fucked over any copy of 7 that doesn’t have it yet, including clean installs. To fix this, manually download and install updates 3102810 and 3138612 to get the ball rolling:
support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3102810

>>55593699
Just let him buy it and then he'll find out.
>>55593699
Point out to him that the APIs that games use to talk to the graphics card also frequently have to talk to the CPU inbetween?
I've been programming in C++, almost always in the terminal/XCode... How would I go about creating graphics for my code? I know how to use Processing, but it's not nearly as versatile as I'd like it to be...
Any tips?
