Why Intel Remove Support for USB based Windows 7 Installation?
I'm building a Skylake computer and I'm trying to install windows 7 via USB.
First, I discover that Intel removed support for USB based Windows 7 installations on Skylake. Microsoft removed support for the EHCI host controller and kept only the xHCI host controller spec. While the USB 3.0 spec is backward compatible with most USB 2.0 and 1.0 functions, installing windows 7 via USB on a Skylake PC is ridiculously hard.
I tried to use the installation CD, but the mouse and keyboard are intentionally disabled and the only way to get them to work is to use the PS/2 port, which my mouse nor keyboard will plug into.
Ripping an ISO and using Rufus doesn't work either.
What a bunch of bullshit.

>not owning a mouse for the ps2 port
>>>/k/I'll yourself
Yea, I tried installing W7 through USB on my PC only to find out the mouse and keyboard wouldn't work during installation. Didn't feel it was worth the trouble and just installed 8.1
>>54696464
No, you shouldn't hate Microsoft for making it incredibly difficult to install a shitty operating system on a computer with a good processor.
Why the fuck would you want to use something old and outdated anyway?
I just ordered a 144hz monitor. Are they worth it or just a meme?
>>54696438
If you don't play vidya regularly they're def not worth it.

Okay kid. And now tell us how "only TRUE computer genius' know how to upgrade RAM."
Hi /g/.
Recently I'm thinking of getting one of these.
I'm very attracted from the detachable tablet and the specs seem ok too.
Only the price is kinda exaggerated.
Any thoughts?
>>54696365
I think you should learn to shit in a fucking toilet, Parjeet.
It is a piece of shit that overheats all the time

Hi /g/,
I did some basic CAD work years ago and I've always wanted to learn character design/3d modelling. Well now I'm unemployed and struggling to find any work, I thought I'd dedicate some time to learning.
What is (are the) industry leading software? 3DS Max?
Can you please recommend any websites/youtube channels that are good for learning from scratch? Your experiences?
Thanks guys
>>54696308
3DS Max would be a great place to go. Or Maya if that was the character suite, I don't remember. You could use blender too but the learning curve is steep because like most free software it is very unintuitive.
>>54696369
Thanks mate. The Maya entertainment suite looks good - going to have a look around for guides etc
>>54696308
Modeling -> 3DS max is unrivaled
Everything Else -> Maya is probably best

A hypothetical question....
How would one permanently take a site like Facebook or Twitter or Instagram down so they wouldn't be able to restore their service? Would it be possible to destroy all their servers and backup servers and therefore kill their entire business?
The internet would be a much better place without them
>>54696227
yea go ahead, it just go kill their servers and their backups and then kill the billions of people using them so nobody would just make another one.
>>54696227
>Would it be possible to destroy all their servers and backup servers and therefore kill their entire business?
If you managed to kill all of their machines, yes.
>>54696269
so just kill all untermencsh?
Who else here is /PCI passthrough/?
>>54696136
man i wish i could do that but im a bit of a daft cunt to get trought all the qemu setup and all that shit, also i dont have integrated graphics
do you get the same performance you would running it natively? i've heard some people say it has too much overhead, maybe i could buy a cheap gt210 or something and try sometime
Mhm!
Had to turn of the HD audio kernel driver because it grabs the nvidia audio before pci-stub does, and I also had to pass in my USB headset which is a bit shitty. Otherwise it's working pretty great desu
>>54696253
It would be fairly accurate to say you get at least ~95% native performance.
Only real drag is the IO with say a hard drive, but that can be all but eliminated with an SSD or even better a RAM disk.
Here's a reasonable guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF
It has no part or model number, no serial, but is a complicated gadget with a multi-prong interface as well as a circular jack and a tripod thread. It was recovered from a lot of cryptographic gear.
WHAT THE HECK IS THIS THING?

How do I find motivation to get through obstacles in learning programming? I make a bunch of excuses which I feel are real but I also think I'm just making them up. How do I get past this shit it's so frustrating.
>>54696086
Kill yourself, loser.
>>54696086
Why learn to program if you hate it?
>>54696086
I love programming. It's just another ability under my belt, not to mention speaking a second language. What was that OP? Oh, yeah that sucks to hear about your plight. But, as they say, life goes on.
Windows 10 just tried to install itself on my machine. I had to cut the power to prevent the process from completing.
I don't even know if it's any good, I just think the UI is clunky (my mom got it with her new machine so I've had some experience with it). But I am 100% opposed to an operating system that tries to install itself.
Anyway, is interrupting the installation process this way likely to do any damage to my machine? I caught it at the 2% mark.
It's not that bad. The UI isn't really clunky. It's probably too late to stop the install. Just let it finish then roll it back and turn off automatic updates.
gwx control panel if you don't want to fuck with the registry
>>54696042
Sorry, I should clarify. I cut the power and restarted my PC, and it said 'restoring previous OS' for about 10 minutes before starting up with Win7 as if nothing happened. It even restored the tabs in my internet browser from the last time I was online.
Almost like it knew it was outta line and wanted to make amends.
I'm posting from said PC right now. I'm just worried if the digital pimp hand leaves any bruises.
When will the AMD meme finally die so Nvidia can make better cards?
>>54695796
Why would you want the superior gpu manufacturer to die?
how can something non-existant die ?
When will Nvidia stop gimping their older cards so I can buy one?
What is the best domain parking service to collect ad revenue? What I'm looking for is a free service that gives me a slice of ad revenue without charging me fees like GoDaddy CashParking does.

I messed around with an actual cardboard Google Cardboard a while back and found it kind of neat. Now that VR is "out" and it's in more people's' hands, I decided to order one of these cheapo-Chinese plastic headsets.
Are there any phone apps that make use of Google Cardboard? Or would it be possible to say, render VR content on a desktop, then stream it to the phone over LAN? Or would the latency be too great?
General VR thread I guess

Just get an S7 and a gear vr. Or you know...an oculus or the like if you have a good enough computer.
