How do I change the Windows 10 login screen? Everywhere I've looked keeps telling me about changing the lockscreen rather than the login one.
If I use a constructor:class rectangle
{
public:
rectangle (int, int);
double length, width;
double area ()
{
return length*width;
}
};
rectangle::rectangle (int l, int w)
{
length = l;
width = w;
}
int main ()
{
rectangle rect1(4, 5); // Valid declaration
rect2; // invalid declaration
rect2.length = 6;
rect2.width = 4;
}
My declaration of rect1 works, but only at the expense of rect2. Is this an either-or situation? Do I have to choose between initialising all/no rectangles upon declaration? Or is it possible to do so optionally?

When I went from dial up to dsl the pictures loaded so quick, but I wanted videos
When I went from dsl to fios the videos loaded so quick but I wanted to stream and download

>>51274829
what
what the hell are you even expecting rect2 to be
no type
no constructor used
it's just an invalid statement in the middle of your code and you're further trying to modify the members of this invalid statement
>>51275198
Fiber is great and I'd recommend it. I have fios now and it is great even with only 25/15.
>>51274829
You can't do that.
How will the compiler know that rect2 is rectangle?
Besides, OOP recommends you make a method to assign length and width, like getLength(x). You shouldn't be able to change things inside the class in main.
You should be able to find these out by rewriting and compiling again tho. Learning C++ is so fun.
Can anyone recommend a good motherboard (LGA 1150) for a gaming PC? Say something around, or less than, 250 bucks.
I'm putting together a new Motherboard/Processor/Memory for an existing PC (bottle-necked by the old processor), but I'm stumped when it comes to the motherboard.
New processor is going to be an Intel i7-4790k (4.0ghz quad-core / LGA 1150 / etc.), which I think will hold up for a long time. Memory is easy enough so no question there.
I was thinking the ASUS Maximus VII Hero (currently sold out on Newegg, unfortunately), but I'm pretty clueless when it comes to motherboards.

Is it safe to use a magnetic screwdriver when building a pc?
>>51274611
Genuine stupid question? With dual Xeons you should have the PCI bandwidth to support four M.2 cards, but the only computer I know of that can do so natively is the ThinkStation P900, because it uses a custom motherboard and expansion cards. On a regular motherboard you'll be sacrificing physical PCI slots to put in extra m.2 SSD via adapters.
For GPUs, you can stuff as many in as there is enough room and power for. Some Xeon motherboard chipsets might have issues with certain GPU models, but this is something your vendor should have tested for.
>>51275575
Yes it is safe. You need some rare earth magnet tier shit to mess up harddrives, and even then.

Are there any good Windows 10 de-bloating guides out there?
My case arrived with this dent at the power supply opening. Will this cause any issues during or after putting in the psu?
How long after a build would I expect to see damage from the assembling? My new build seems to work fine, but I manhandled the shit out of everything. Just waiting for the BSOD.

What are my odds anything is recoverable? The rest of the drive works fine, albeit slow. It was just supposed to be a quick backup while I put a fresh install of Win 7 on here. Now this. I have Recuva, but it doesn't seem to do anything. How do I go about this?
Having trouble deciding what power supply to buy
My planned build is i5 6600, 1SSD, 3-4 hard drives, single 980ti, 2x8gb DDR4, regular cooling fan (212 evo) or possibly a closed loop system, 3 120mm fans (not sure about fans, depends on the case I choose)
>>51275765
Take the watt consumption of every of those components (should be in the technical specs) and add them up. That'll give you the minimum watt power supply you can get.
Try to aim like 100 watts above that, though. For security. And make sure your mothermboard has surge protection.

Guys, is it true that movement can damage a laptops HDD?
I'm really inclining to getting one with a SDD because I plan to using my laptop in bed and probably other enviroments where it gets shuffled around a bit and I'm scared because I feel like I've damaged HDDs before by just using them in bed, where they get shuffled around a bit. Does that really damage them?
Plus I guess SSD would get me dat startup speed.
>>51275830
Yep, HDD have metal plates that spin with an electro magnet swing arm that sits just above the surface. Bumps and jolts can cause the arm to scrape across the surface, it's not that bad really if that happens then your hard drive will caution off that section and it's total storage capacity will be lower. What is a problem is when the area that gets scratched has your operating system on it that's when you computer "breaks".
What I did for my gf because she kept forgetting to shut it down when she traveled with it was replace the main HDD with an SSD, then took out the optical drive and put a HDD in it's place.

thanks my man. SSD it is. Better safe than sorry.
Which browser to use after the downfall of Firefox?
>>51275756
Electronics tend to fail immediately, if it boots and works, then against all odds you managed not to damage anything.
If something fails within weeks, it was faulty to begin with.

>>51275786
One may want up to +50% wattage if overclocking, and for a 24/7 system even 2x wattage is recommended for stability.
Try to stick with reputable brands like Seasonic (used in Corsair AX) and Superflower (used in EVGA supernovas).
>>51275830
Only if you drop it. 2.5" HDDs have nearly twice the impact threshold of 3.5" drives and are often optimized for use while in motion, for obvious reasons. It's not like laptop drive failure was a wide-spread plague that existed before the advent of SSDs, I have a 1.4GB 2.5" drive from fucking 1998 that still works.

A deep scan ignores the file system of the target drive and simply dumps the raw data. It'll take hours to dump as the drive will be forcibly read sector-by-sector, but at least corruptions in the file system won't cause errors.

Contrary to what others will likely say, most hard drives offer roughly equal reliability under consumer or even prosumer workloads, usually within a 5% error. Nearly all HDDs are rated at 1.2M hours MTBF, and only HGST Ultrastars are rated at 2M hours.

Is Seagate still a shit? Found a 5tb external drive for £119 new. Only need it for large backups every now and then.
>>51276841
Games are a reactive form of processing; typically, if you just stand around in a game then nothing will ever happen, and games only need to utilize CPU cycles in response to the player's actions.
AI processing is one of the few things that can strain a CPU, but few games outside of the strategy genre ever come close to needing more than the average processor can supply.
Regular games rarely feature enough characters or complex-enough AI routines for it to matter, but not because the devs are lazy, but because having AI in a game that's too smart or active can be detrimental to the experience.
>>51276929
Apparently the drive itself has a 1 year warranty, the use cable 2 years and powerbrick 3 years.
Why only one year? Are hard drives binned like silicone?

I don't strictly need an external one, I have a couple of spare enclosures. Just need a cheap drive or two to temporarily backup 6tb of data.

>>51277152
Depends on the specific game, but your problem could be down to poor optimization on the part of the developer.
The big deal with DX12 and related low-level drivers is that it'll be much easier to utilize more threads/cores for sending out draw calls, and chances are your game is trying to send too many calls down the pipeline.

>>51277246
No. Greens = headparking + lower QA.
Headparking can be disabled (not even needed if it's just backup).
Lower QA just means higher odds it's DoA or dies quicker. 6 months warranty counter this very well (a HDD that's been kicking for some time has good odds it will keep on kicking).
Just remember you're buying a lower quality product, it's not a "deal" where you pay less for the same thing.
That being said, in some uses quality is just not needed.

How many FPS is it normal to achieve on GPUs like the 970/980Ti/390 today on CS:GO and other games that isn't too graphics heavy? I'm thinking about getting a 4K monitor, but monitors with FPS higher than 60 is a little bit outside my price range. If I'm thinking way ahead, is it justifiable to get a cheaper 60Hz monitor (I have 1080p @ 60Hz now and it's okay I guess) and just roll with it or should I wait until 120/144Hz 4K monitors get cheaper?

>>51277534
Anything >1ms is unacceptable. I'm just wondering if it's worth it to invest in a 120/144Hz 4K monitor now or if reasonably priced 4K is around the 60 Hz area. If it is, I'm going for a 60Hz monitor for the moment, but if todays reasonable GPUs can manage 4K at 120 or 144 Hz, I'll reconcider.
I'm wondering how much FPS todays cards can achieve.
>>51277555
Okay, so 4K is still capped at around 60Hz? I know it was capped by cable technology last year, is this still the case?
Also, I'm a gamer that also work on a lot at the same time on my desktop, would you go for 144Hz 1440p or 60Hz 4K? I'm fine with 60Hz, but is 144Hz that much better?

I want to get a new CPU soon. Is buying the i5-4690K a good or bad idea? Pretty much all newer generations are a lot more expensive.

I'm still usoing an i5-2400 and its doing fine. Latest gen is a ripoff in terms of price/performance ratio.
Please help me. I'm using the stock Intel cooler on a non OC'd 4790k. When I run a game, the fan barely spins even though I'm getting temps up to 95° and the 120mm fan connected to the 2nd CPU header is spinning normally. The thing is when I tab out, it suddenly decides to start fucking working again, so in order to keep decent temps when in-game I have to alt-tab literally every 5 minutes so the stupid Intel cooler can do its job. Should I just get an aftermarket cooler or does anyone know a solution for this? I've already tried fixing it in SpeedFan.
>>51277637
just get an i7-6700K
>>51277675
stock or aftermarket they're still receiving the same signal. Probably a mobo/software problem.
That is unless you get an aftermarket fan controller then you'll be adjusting the speed with a knob.
>>51277683
What
>>51277663
said.
Skylake and its mainboards are simply too expensive (for me) right now.
>>51277691
I don't think it's a problem with the mobo because when I plugged a 120mm fan into the same CPU header it worked fine. So if it's a software problem, what would be the best way to fix it?
>>51277710
Not him, but I'd look around in BIOS to see if it could be something in there to fix it. BIOS has a lot of settings you don't think about that could fix shit like this. Just poke around and look at stuff.
>>51277710
Google the model of mobo and fan problem, not much of an answer, sorry.
Try plugging the cpu fan into a different header and see if it spins normally, stock fan could be fucked. Make sure your bios or graphics/cpu drivers aren't doing any sort of program specific profiling
>>51277724

Thanks for the help, I'll try looking around in the BIOS/driver settings.

You'll need a beastly graphics card for 4K to get a tolerable frame rate. Personally, I think you should go for the 144 hz 1440p. Also, if you play FPS games, you NEED to get a monitor with 120 hz at least.

I'm trying to add a second stick of 8gb ram but the system wont boot with both sticks in there, I've confirmed all 4 DIMM slots and both sticks of ram work and the mobo supports up to 32 gigs. What am I doing wrong? As soon as I put both sticks in, no matter in what position or combination, the system won't boot.
Yes they're the same RAM.
Any help?

What program(s) are you using to access the folders and files? Try a different program. Also, try making a copy of the unfinished file and try to open it.

But when navigating to the folder the files open just fine, it seems like qbitorrent doesn't have permission to open those files.

I've just received a new laptop for free but for some reason the function keys are messed up.
Rather than holding down the Fn key to access shortcuts for volume control and brightness I have to hold it down to use the actual f key functions.
It's become quite a pain when navigating Vivaldi and other programs that make use of these keys. Is there anyway I can do a quick simple swap of this? Preferably without downloading another program as I haven't been able to find any web pages offering a solution.
They just show how to completely remap the keys.

>>51279505
If you work with content creation it might be, but I think most wouldn't notice the difference between SATA3 and PCI-E. The OS, programs and games will all boot/load very fast on either one, with maybe a second or two variance, but the Samsung will let you open up multiple 4K video streams into Premiere and scrub them in real time.

I've recently transferred to using mpd, but now I wonder, how do I organize my library?
I used to organize it based on rating: 0 stars = unlistened songs, 1-2 stars = songs that are bad and can be deleted, 3+ = songs to keep.
I've used musicbee before this which had rating and auto playlists, but mpd just pushes all my songs together.
How would I filter them and keep them in seperate playlists?

I work in a law firm, and we've received a video file for an accident where our client was hit by a car.
The video is AVI format and 349MB, and 0:37 long, 704x480, color, no sound. That's a huge file size for what we have. For comparison, I rendered it out into MP4 and it was about 1MB in size.
The attorney on the file thinks there may be "hidden content" in the file (not because of the file size but because of when it starts and ends is unusual). I don't think this is the case but the file size is pretty out there.
Is there a way to check if there are hidden chapters to a video or whatever? I'm sure there's not but want to be able to show that I checked when asked.

Drugs are not good for you son.
A dual-Xeon board can do 4-way 16x, or 8-way 8x, with bandwidth to spare. Nvidia literally promotes Xeon systems with 4 Titan X cards in them.
>>51281430
Well, the E3-1241 V3 is the Xeon equivalent of the 4790K, so his reasoning probably has to do with the fact that you essentially get the same product but with extra features like ECC RAM support.

>Is that the size of the encryption key
yes. That's a big, secure key size for AES. It's laughably small for any public-key system.
>>51281100
That probably didn't drain the CMOS memory. Laptops (at least ones with removable batteries) usually have their own tiny little non-rechargeable CMOS batteries in them just like desktops, since they need to remember their settings even if you unplug them and take the main battery out.
I don't have a general answer, but I had something similar happen to my laptop. I forgot it was in sleep mode and it flattened its battery over the course of a few days and then wouldn't start, and I fixed it the same way. Once it was running I put the battery back in, and it saw it and charged it. It's been fine ever since. I wouldn't worry about it.
okay, I want to update my intel graphics driver to the latest version.
But intel says it might conflict with my current pc's settings.
What do?
Will there be any repercussions doing it?
>>51281100
I've first encountered that shit on some Acer netbook. And it was official recommendation by tech support, something about draining power circuit capacitors. Also works for some wireless Logitech mice, but you have to hold down as many buttons as you can while the battery is out.

So I fucked up either my SATA cable or my HDD the other day while installing a new PSU (hoping to god it's not actually the motherboard).

Any of the *buntus depending on which DE tickles your fancy, or Mint if you want Cinnamon. Remember you can always install a new DE/WM later if you want to try another one.
>and is it even a good idea?
Depends. It's pretty good if you don't use a lot of Windows only software.
I think the only way to really find out if Linux is for you is to try it, and commit to it for at least a week or two so you have time to get used to it and learn your way around the terminal.

>>51282240
The 5930k is similar to the 5820k in performance as both overclock about the same, but the 5930k has those extra PCI lanes for SLI.
If you aren't going to be using more than one GPU and m.2 slot, you can save the difference by going with the 5820k. Always remember to RTFM regarding which PCI slots get disables when using this CPU.
>>51282431
>>51282438
Depends on the power draw of the PSU, beefy supplies 1Kw & up may use high-amperage cables for safety reasons, and you don't want to be mixing a flimsy monitor cable with the PSU cable.
This is unlikely to cause problems for 99% of people with basic power draw levels, but I doi want to put this out there just in case.
>>51282438

Quick question about networking.
Due to bad coverage area of my router I'll be getting another router and then run a cable from the old router to the new router.
The only thing I need to set are the SSID password and name right?
Also I can't connect to other device that's connected on that router, I mean if I run ftp server that's on 192.168.2.5 on the old router, I can't access it from computer on the new router right?
Finally is this a good option? I mean to solve the wifi coverage issue?
UTP - unshielded twisted pairs
why is there always another thing along the cables, something like silky tethers?
I tried to find a picture of it, but no luck, maybe its dependant on cable, but I feel like its always always there,
>>51283087
you want that another router to serve the very same wifi as your previous one, it makes it extender and you should look in to that, its not trivial and two extenders I used, cheap, were shit that didnt work well for shit
I recommend sticking to good old cable and be bit handy and know how to drill and put cables and cable covers

A similar method existed for 360s with RROD. It can potentially be a temporary fix for some types of problems, but I wouldn't consider it a long-term solution, and it can potentially introduce new problems or make them worse.

The operating speed will be the lowest speed of the sticks. So, say, your 8GB runs at 1600mhz but the 4gb is 1066, if you use both they will both run at 1066
Not that RAM speed really matters though. I'd use it.
