OK so yesterday while my pc was on I was cleaning the back of my desk and the tower fell on its side. The pc froze so I manually shut it off. Fast forward to this morning. After turning it back on it was stuck on the bios screen. I decided to restart it and after waiting 5 minutes it finally logged on. To my horror, the thing was slow as hell and would just constantly crash. This would repeat everytime I did a hard reboot. I went into the bios after spamming the delete button. Everything seemed fine but sometimes it wouldn't detect my hard drive at all. I tried to use the...

New PC build, unable to install drivers without having to go Into safe mode and remove them just for it to take me back to square one. Here are my specs:Asus Am1i-A,Amd Athlon 5350, Kingston HyperX FURY - DIMM 240-pin, WD 320gb 7200rpm, hiper type r ii 680w psu. Anyone have any idea why it does that?
>>55263295
youre probably installing the wrong drivers
use their websites to download the correct one. dont use that macroshit "install driver" in device manager.
>>55263295
Use GNU, GNU is the king of drivers and you won't have issues with drivers. Also Windows 7 is a legacy OS, it is to be avoided as it is 7 years old, if you must use Windows then use Windows 10 as it has more driver support in the NT kernel.

no, thats linux
If you were to make a program that would create random combinations of pixels on a 1280x1024 monitor, approximately how long do you think it would take to create every image that will ever exist on a modern PC?
1280x1024x255x255x255/(number of file writes a second)
>>55263208
how long do you think it would take before it pumped out an image of rms?
Much longer than the lifetime of the universe, even for a much smaller image than that
Does anyone know if a galaxy S6 case fit my samsung j7? I cannot figure this out for the life of me.
no
why would it?
>>55262977
Stupid questions thread, and it's highly unlikely.

I don't know, my last phone was an S3, I couldn't figure out what all the differences between them were. I was really set on a certain case but the company only makes them for S6's.

Hey /g/,
Cross compiling can be a tricky business. Just because you know the target architecture, it seems unlikely you can cross compile any program without error. What all do you need to know about a machine (architecture)? What are some common pitfalls (memory configuration)? What compiles do you suggest (gcc)?
Background: I am learning about server-side scripting so I can make dynamic webzones. I discover my host doesn't allow me to run a gcc from their /usr/bin/gcc directory for "security reasons". So I have to cross compile. Surprisingly...

Oh yeah, operating system seems important to know too.
Operating system and architecture should be enough

Do you know if their are any issues with linked libraries? It seems prudent to make stand-alone executables.
Pic unrelated.
This is just a question, it isn't really a reflection of what I want to do but I'm just curious: how would you hack or mod a mobile app? I hear people constantly talking about hackers in Clash of Clans or other play to win games to get an edge on the other players but when I look up methods to do so all I find are malware downloads for fake hacking tools.
Does it involve modifying the APK in some way?
It may. Alternatively you could write a program which runs alongside the app, capturing the data which it's about to send to a server and modifying it first. This way the app thinks you're following the "rules" but the server reacts to the data it receives, which may make it misbehave. This is effectively what one guy did with Dominoes to make the server believe that his payment was authenticated despite never actually going through.
Bonus points if you can see the very easy way to outsmart such a hack.
>>55262218
Clash of Clans is server based changing the apk won't do shit.
>>55262281
Interesting. So would writing this program be pretty complex, or would it be simple if you had fairly decent knowledge of programming language?

Why the fuck does this happen? Happens on every desktop, distro, and wifi dongle I've tried.

Try something: open a terminal window and start a ping on the local IP address of your router. Leave it running. Come back in 10 minutes and let me know if that did anything.

This happened to me in ubuntu 14.04

Anon, you need to hack the mainframe or there will be dire consequences.
