I've got a 6600k running at 4.5GHz with 1.35V. However, it idles at 40 degrees with my Noctua NH-D15, where my ambient is around 20 degrees (room temperature). It is however quite silent, and I like it like this. Is this temperature safe / not harmful?

Do you know a program that lets you track the dialog window of a specific program directly in the RAM and generate an hex dump? I'm trying my best with Immunity Debugger but I can't figure it out yet.
I wanted to track this window by the way (see pic), because I don't read moon so I was trying to copy and paste the text in google translate.
I want to use it for other things in the future too not just this dialog window, so don't tell me to ask in >>>/int/jp because the translation is not my priority.

Question: I have heard that scanning banknotes immediately send you to a site saying "don't scan banknotes, it's illegal".
Now, assuming this is a command launched from the scanner to the computer (idk if it is like so), could be possible to copy the command and use it to execute arbitrary code (so sending a bogus "u scanned money, fool" that instead of opening a web site caused the pc to upload a folder into a receiving server)?
I'm asking this because it seems like a huge vulnerability.

So, not only rendering 4 screens is not exactly fit for your PC unless, maybe, you're both watching a 3D movie with it and just getting the feed twice .. i'm pretty sure almost no game actually exist supporting this. Also i'm not quite sure you have enough ports to do it anyway.

probably not. ideal 802.11n throughput is less than ideal usb 2.0 throughput. same goes for 802.11ac and usb 3.0. if you're using a usb 2.0 802.11ac adapter then MAYBE, but you won't notice it using the internet. you'd only notice when moving big files around on your network, like if you have a backup running or you stream high-res video or just copy/access files from another home computer.

if you're trying to transfer things from one computer to another within the same network (e.g. 2 laptops in the apartment/house, 1 laptop and a desktop, maybe streaming something on your phone where the content is on your desktop but that's trickier to set up so not as likely), then it's possible 150mbps will yield a worse experience than 300mbps.
the issue comes down to what you're doing, honestly. if you're transferring files, speed equates to how quickly files actually get transferred over. if you're streaming HD video, it's possible you'll have to deal with buffering (but there would have to be extenuating circumstances for 150mbps to get saturated - like poor connectivity or simultaneous connections).

Rly? its mostly flash storage with both near the same max write cycles to me.
USB sticks have a Usb controller, a SD card has a SD controller, both connected to a NAND flash most of the time.
Manufactures SHOULD post datasheets about the devices, and you should figure it out.
after all, its just flashchips with a controller (like SSD's are also just NAND flashchips most of the time, just a bit more than 1 or 2 and the controller is made with cache and higher speeds support. and error checking like raid, but for NAND chips.

Guy building a PC here with another question. I managed to get the standoffs in place and the backplate thing for the connectors (pic related). How the hell do I connect the mobo to it? Am I supposed to bend those little things? Are they supposed to stick somewhere in the connectors?

I care more about perf than I do about db to be honest
>>52365250 its tricky, but these things need to atleast "touch" the metal housing of their coresponding connectors. So best way is to move the motherboard in with the connector side first. Doing so, you will be "almost"easyly able to "move" most of the connectors under the these pins you talk about.
Others are just made to touch the bottom.
NO NEVER THEY DO NOT go in any connector. but you probabaly can practice a bit if you remove the shield and put it near the motherboard.
install shield again in case, then motherboard is best practise.

You don't bend anything. It's barely a shield and it only gently touches que exposed connectors.

I can get the mobo in position, the problem is that the keyboard connector has one of those metal things on the mobo itself and I can't keep it into position to screw the mobo in because it acts like a spring and I only have so many hands, so if I keep the mobo in position I can't screw it in.
>>52365457
>doing it wrong
RAM slots and heatsink mounts are both horrible things.
But generally yes.
>>52365493
I think its mainly from using a cheap iron in the past but I recall having problems getting the technique of iron and solder on opposite sides of the wire right, meaning having to put solder directly to iron with the result of solder everywhere and melting the board a little. I just want this to be clean since I plan on using it as a primary tool.
>>52365054
It only happens with this game, i have no idea why.
>>52365409
like >>52365493 said... ehm,... yes just do it,
this takes atleast 2 weeks to arrive.

btw, I hope its not a DSO138 ... because its a heap of shit. (build one... works... but the range is small and it cant see shit.) but a nice learning curve and looks "geeky"... also, software is old, you cant get the newest... unless you got it officialy... opensource one has bugs.
>>52365541
There is nothing wrong with touching the solder to the iron. How the hell do you even melt the board?
Touch the solder to where you want it on the board. Iron lightly over the top of the solder.
>>52365495
use 1 hand to push gently the board inplace, use other to screw.
(2 hands place the board near the shield, then remove 1 hand while other keeps mobo near position. Use last hand to push board in place (forcing the keybaord one) and use loose hand to screw)
Just do it. we believe in our selves.
>>52365495
You should only need one hand to hold and one to screw. Basic problem solving and a hint of finesse. Figure it out, man.
>>52365587
The solder would wick up the iron and not actually deposit on the board. The awkwardness just led to it taking long enough to get solder on on there that the board would start to warp. Nothing damaging, just ugly.
But maybe I will just go for it.
>>52365582
It is a DSO 138. I got a JYE and not a counterfeit, but I got the impression that it was at least decent. I'm not expecting anything on par with a proper one and theres no reason for me to drop $100-200 on a real one but the DSO138 does work, doesnt it?
>>52365703
I honestly have no idea how you even manage to do that
The solder never wicks onto the iron. Maybe yours doesn't get hot enough?
>>52365763
Yeah I figure it was a shitty one. This was at a makerspace with a bunch of friends years ago. I picked up a decent iron for this project so I'll probably be fine.
How do I buy from Alixpress without giving them my credit card info?
Theres only 1 reason the chinks won't accept paypal and that is to sell my info
I want to download a portion (~1 hour) of a very long (~60 hours) VoD file using youtube-dl.
Are there options for doing this?
Hay /g/entomeen.
Gotta get a new keyboard. What do you recommend?
Got some criteras:
>Good for programming
>Function buttons for volume, next song etc
>Mechanical
>Sort of silent(normyfag with a woman)
>(optional) Sound outlet
My budget range is 1500 SEK or sort of 200$.
Also if /dpg/ is here. Please share images of yours. /bst/ don't program.
>>52365703
Me wife is using our europe banknumber, I use my creditcard, and paypal is for pussys.
anyway, I know this is 4chan.... you can trust alipay. Maybe even more than/then ebay (im dutch, and it takes 2 to 3 weeks to arive)
You can ofcourse keep buying expensive america stuff. also, some sellers use the same name on ebay, so search for the products found on ali, on ebay ;)
DSO 138 has a VERY limited range it can measure. its .... audio level... digital is out of the question, old, new... they are tooo fast, even my old trusty NES or MSX2.
so, have fun listening to your audio, selfbuild ataripunk and 555 timer audio beeper. (could be exactly what you want...
Protip, find a maker/hackerspace.. they usealy have good scoops you can use for your projects needs. or go secondhand, over at EEVBLOG they tell you. atleast 50 bucks.
I got a 100Mhz analog duel channel for 70 and that fina old engineer even gave a complete explaination after I asked... felt like pro.
Still noob, but this DSO is fun to build... till your project is too fast or range too wide.
There are some performance mods, dont count on those, but DO enjoy... maybe you gonna improve it, using a borrod scoop ;)
Also, Alixpress isnt going to support paypal, cause paypal was owned by ebay, and that direct competition ! you see the problem? like MacOS officialy on a HP ? aint work that way.
in many countries they are selling trow away creditcards right? dunno if they work
I can't manage to extend my wifi.
I have:
Internet -> Modem/router (connected with wifi and ethernet to other pcs) -> router (connected with ethernet to other pcs but wifi doesn't work).
I can't fucking isolate the problem. The second router is completely transparent. Bridge mode, no nat, no firewall, no upnp, dhcp disabled.
First router is 192.168.1.1 and gives ips in the 192.168.1.100-200 range, the second router is 192.168.1.2. Subnet mask is the same for both of course.
There is connectivity on the second router, but not over wifi. Tried with same SSID, with different SSID, with either different channels or autoscan. I tried to lower the signal a bit so that they would not overlap at all in some areas of my home. I don't use wps.
It doesn't work and I can't get why. Wifi devices are assigned an ip and the wifi signal seems to be optimal, but nothing loads.
You're my last resort, /g/.
Or I'm buying a new one, it might as well just be broken.
>>52366346
Paypalfag isnt me. Most of my initial project ideas are audio anyway. Guitar effects, theremin, etc. Even in my electronics lab I didnt do anything high frequency, though I did the analog chunk and not the digital chunk.

I don't even know what to fall this to look it up, it's coiling but that just gives me other dumb shit
So uh, really stupid question but how fix? I can't "uncoil" it it just goes back the way it was
Can't leave it stretched out overnight, and I'm afraid it'll eventually kill my headset
>>52366444
>Update
Good, well then it might work. But please do yourself a favour and check your build afterwards to be sure. Im not sure if the dso has any good filter capasity when main voltages are in the equition or you troubleshooting something. For a quick image of the waveform it is nice. You can pause the screen and set sort of triggers... Again, try to save some money for a good old trusty analog one, or a digital one, tektronics is good
>>52366255
Loudness depends mainly on the type of switches. Avoid those with a sound feedback like the cherry mx blue and similars you see in pic related. Other than that, I'm pretty sure they're equally loud once you press them all the way down.
Still see pic related for what you would feel better when typing. I personally have brown switches on a CM quickfire rapid-i and I find to be pretty great for what it costs, and has everything you require (minus the audio output, but I can't think of any having one). And of course you can choose a tenkeyless if you want more space / find the numpad useless.
Other good models are Filco's or Ducky's, a bit more expensive. They are one of the best when it comes to construction quality.
Other models which can be more expensive are more of a niche for those who like smaller keyboards or particular keycaps, even tho I'm not an expert. I'm not a full /mkg/ dude but I still agree with their advice to get a keyboard with a standard layout because being able to change keycaps in the future is a great option, even though you might not be interested in that now. So discard razer, corsair, those kind of things.
>>52366521
Uncoil, hold, apply "warm" not hot. Then cold. While keeping uncoiled. ... After cooldown release... If fail, inner cables are twisted and the cable is fucked. Check warranty, buy new cable and solder. I think. I could be wrong... Never have this cause i take care of my stuff because people like you "borrow" my stuff
What's the best free SD card data recovery tool/software for Mac? All of the free software I tried was unable to find/repair corrupted photos from my camera's SD card. Ones that cost money, such as RescuePro and Card Rescue, were able to find and repair the photos, but only let me preview them and I had to buy the full version to save them. Any suggestions?
Hey guys, or /g/entoomen as I believe you like to be called hehe :). My girlfriend is going to Europe for the semester and she needs a new phone, apparently all the exchange students need to download a special app that helps with meeting new people. I hope she makes lots of new friends :). Anyways, I was wondering if I should get her an android or an iPhone? I'll also be taking care of her son while she's away. I want to teach him a programming language, what would be the best one for a beginner. Have a nice day :)
>>52366584
This sound good advice (random reader who might build own keyboard soon)

I think it's called Tinder.
>>52366658

>>52366618
they probably use whatsapp, which works on both ios as well as android. android phones are usually cheaper or have better hardware than the iphone.
for teaching programming, start with scratch, then move on to python (easy) or C (hard)
>>52366618
Android (why even apple) and i own wp10 and its getting nasty, will switch hack my lumia920 soon
Scratch will get her son started.. Unless he is older than 12... But again, Scratch, comeback when he starts asking for more.
>>52366618
Don't forget to buy a Gtx 970 to her future son.
>>52366658
Tinder will get her laid, whatsap is better
I need a monitor for work (~24"), mainly programming and ebooks, must be 1440p and ips/pls. Also must be available to buy in the UK.
Keep in mind I will be connecting it to my laptops hdmi port (1.4) so display port is not necessary.
Picture quality is the most important thing. Budget no more than £250
What can /g/entoomen recommend me?
>>52366700
Those are some fairly harsh parameters.

7GBs of what? Ram or disk storage space? Ram yes, storage space no.

I'm going to get a 6700k when I find one at a decent price, already have the mobo, cooler, PSU, most of my system essentially.
I want to get a 1440p IPS monitor for work and leisure but I won't be getting a GPU since I do't really play video games.
The CPU alone can output at 1440p alone right?
I'm not incredibly tech savvy.
>>52366831
Yes.
>>52366831
I have a 6700k and run a 1440p and 1080p in dual monitor setup. It works just fine. Just make sure you enable hardware acceleration if you're using Linux.
>>52366853
Thank you.
>>52364775
your setup is perfectly fine for what you use it for. if you really want to optimize local network performance and eliminate any local latency issues (e.g. if you have latency issues in online video games due to wifi latency), look into hardwiring your network with ethernet.

>>52366906
So I can keep my old monitor around in case I want to display to both of them?
I didn't know I could do that. Why do you have two monitors of different resolutions up if you don't mind me asking?
Thanks for the tip though.
>>52366949
Not the same guy, but why not? The more screen space the better.
>>52366949
The coolest thing is that the two monitors are using completely heterogeneous connections. One with mini-DisplayPort and the other with VGA. If you turn the secondary monitor to portrait it makes for a really great window for using the terminal.

I thought modern humanity had enough diversity to avoid inbreeding?
2 days ago I suddenly noticed I am not being shown image previews, only icons.
I've tried all the settings shit that everywhere online tells you to change and nothing has worked. I use media preview, though have never had a problem with it before, and even activating/deactivating that has had no impact.

Just installed FreeBSD on a USB stick but it doesn't want to boot properly. I get to the init screen, select multi user, it starts loading the kernel then the boot process breaks, I tried toggling AHCI as suggested somewhere but it results in a kernel panic.

I just ordered a raspberry pi 2 and a wifi-usb for it.
Do I need to order another usb usb-wifi thing if I want to have torrents running from wifi /and/ use it as a 'piratebox'?
I can't just let people use the wifi that the pi is using for reasons.
Should I use https://www.google.com or https://encrypted.google.com? Please explain the difference since they both are https?
>>52367999
>>52368016
I've tried 2 USB wifi adapters, none of them worked reliable.
The first just didn't get detected. I already had it and it wasn't listed as compatible.
The second I bought just for it just stopped working after a few hours, a reboot fixes it, but it sucks having to restart it every now and then.
Apparently the driver crashed, but I'm not that much into linux to debug it myself.
Everyone says to use a powered USB hub with them because it doesn't have enough power, but what's the point of having a tiny computer that needs 5 extra devices and plugs to make it work.
I ended up laying a cable just for it.
So, if I'd be you, avoid wifi, it's shit on the rpi.
>>52368062
Hoped that wouldn't be the case. Thanks anyway.
Hey /g/.
I want to play shows from my computer on my TV without having to have my computer hooked up to my TV. What's the easiest way to go about this? I have an old early-2000s Toshiba CRT and a DVD player. I was thinking of just burning DVDs with the shows I want, but then I thought it'd be easier to get a DVD player with a USB port in it. However, most of those seem to only be able to handle MP4-type files or similar and I've got a lot of MKVs. Maybe some AVIs, too, but I'm away from my external so I can't check right now.
Anyway, easiest way to do that? Doesn't have to be the cheapest, but that'd help, too.
>>52368082
encrypted.google.com only shows ads that are served over https, where normal google.com has ads that could go over http too.

Right, of course, no worries. I solved that with my router, which supports two SSIDs. One I'm using for my own LAN, and the other I use for other purposes, like for when I have friends visiting over that just want Internet access.
