I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10, then wiped everything and reinstalled Windows 10. Can't activate Windows because I don't have my product key. What do?
>Windows 10
>upgrade
Install gentoo or go to kat dot cr and search for 'kmspico" download it and run it assuming that youre a complete potato when it comes to tech ( judging by your choice of OS) watch some guidea on how to use kmspico
Friend has the same problem.
>Gave him old hard drive for gaming PC build
>I decided to upgrade to windows 10 and wipe all my files for him
>When you do that, Windows 10 still keeps a windows.old folder with all the stuff you told it to delete, so I deleted that folder with disk cleanup (since it took up 400 Gb).
>Couple days later, it starts bitching about a product key.
You could probably call Microsoft and sort it out.
Or pay Microsofts $120 extortion fee for a product key.
as of december, 2015, and according to steam, 48.58 % of all its users still own a dual core processor.
and even more surprisingly, there's been a 0.65 % gain last month.
why is this happening?
I personally run 4 cores
I have literally no existing reason to ever need more than 4
Also because they're casual
the answer is 3rd world countries anon.
like russia and brazil
>>52185113
Because normies and poorfags don't need more than 2 cores for css,csgo and le dota
Post minimal looking technology.
Every time I search for it I don't get minimal looking things, I get people saying "I want a computer that can only browse the internet and check documents".
I'm especially interested in minimal looking laptops, tablets and phones, which are boxy and greyscale.

I like the macbook, especially the black one, but I would prefer it with less rounded corners

"Yes"
Just build a good desktop and buy a decent laptop if you must. Don't buy this gamer crap.

Show off dem sexy optiplexes
ayyyy those optiplexes are still running strong. Bought one a while back for $80. Came with 5 gigs ram lol and core 2 duo
>>52185374
About to get a 755 tomorrow for 20 bucks, planning to upgrade with a 750ti and 4 more gigs of ram and mod the case so I can throw a couple of fans in there
What would be your ideal computer tech channel
Content wise, etc.
intro sequence lasts less than 5 seconds
total video length is less than 5 minute
gets straight to the point
provides links for additional information
no gimmicks, no catering to 12 year old audience
does it for free, doesn't ask me to subscribe or donate or follow or tweet or whatever
no annotations
no music
>>52184678
Clear explanations, no bullshit, short or no intro. Basically something like 2kliksphilip.

/g/, what are some good ideas for headless linux boxes. Currently using mine as a samba media server but what are some other cool projects I can do, that might actually teach me something?

What torrent client do you use and why?
I use qBittorrent because:
1. Free Software (GPL)
2. Light on resources
3. Never failed me once (no stalling or IO errors)
Aria2:
1. Free software.
2. Super light on resources.
3. Never failed me.
4. Works in the command-line (I cannot be bothered by GUIs).
5. Literally just enter `aria2c <path to torrent file, magnet link, or any other kind of link you want to download> ...` and it will download it all to your current directory.
Rtorrent
- no need to run xorg if i just want to download some music
- light as fuck
>>52184197
I use aria2 sometimes too. Ever used the web interface?

2016 - geforce pascal
Every single year? People screaming to not upgrade and wait for the next generation or "big chip."
So why /g, should I wait for pascal instead of buying a 980 ti to finish my new skylake build to replace my 470?
>>52184003
I mean if nothing else a new line of cards means a price drop on the current line
>>52184088
It really doesn't.
New cards beging to price drop immediately after launch and scale exactly according to their performance.
>2017
Pascal refresh / big pascal chip
>2018

>>52184088
But I have the money now and could really use the upgrade. A 980 ti is incredibly powerful and I can't see it being shit when pascal comes out. 980 ti hasn't even been out for a year.
Which distro of Linux does /g/ recommend for new fags.

So I have an idea involving audio equipment with a lot of digital signal processing. I want to use FPGAs to do most of the math. I want to implement things like adders, multipliers, frequency filters, discrete Fourier transforms, etc...
I'll give you the tl;dr upfront: what is the the best hardware description language to learn to code these types of things? Which is the most supported hardware description language when it comes to the tools needed to transform the code in to whatever signal I need to send to the FPGA to program it? Wide support is really my biggest concern.
non tl;dr;
I took a combination digital logic and a sequential logic class during the three years I pursued an electrical engineering degree. I remember my book covered hardware description languages but we never went over them in class. The two names I remember are Verilog and VHDL. Have either of these become the "standard" language? Has any other language become the defacto standard? Please suggest languages and pros and cons associated with each language. Also please explain what kind of work flow I'll be dealing with in order to change the code in to the signal I need to send to the chip to make it work like I want it to. Is it just a case of choosing a supported language and putting the code in a tool provided by the chip manufacturer or are there intermediate steps?
Here are my priorities for suggesting HDLs in order of importance
1. Wide support different FPGAs
2. Bit level control (I assume this is possible in all HDLs but I leave room for me to be surprised and disappointed)
3. Likely to find use for this language in finding work or using it at work
4.expressive and powerful
(so a defacto standard would be big in satisfying 1-4)
=====================
5. Ease of use
6. I'm interested in languages that are close to C in syntax. To get an idea of what I consider close I consider C, C++, C#, python, and java as C like.
7. Easy to learn.
I'm pretty sure the only HDLs used are still VHDL and Verilog
>>52183725
Do you know anything about the pros and cons of each?
>>52184077
just use VHDL

Holy shit are all prebuilts assembled by monkeys?
>gaming PC
>install Arch
Are you fucking retarted OP this must be a joke, if this is serious downgrade to windows 7 or 8 or take it to an IT repair shop. Linux isn't for gaming and Arch will give you a headache if you don't know what you're doing.
In full honesty, I'm a complete noob to technology like this. I don't know shit.
