just bought new ram. is it safe to mix this ram with my old ram even though they arent the same MHz?
>>51637179
it'll be fine, just the faster ram will downclock to match the slower ram
>>51637179
You can, yes. Wouldn't recommend. It will bring the one with higher MHZ down lower.
Are Android streaming boxes just a meme or do they have a decent use?
Why do my micro SD cards always give me shitty read/write speeds? I don't get it, I've tested this in multiple devices and whilst it should get 80mbps (up to), I'm getting 20. It's going directly into my tablet. I've checked the speeds on other devices using the provided SD Card Reader and still it just reports around 20.
It's not fake or some chink shit, it's a Samsung Evo 128GB. Even my previous card gave me shitty speeds but I didn't care then. This time the only reason I shelled out extra was for the speed.
What are optimal test conditions for a Micro SD card? I don't want to go through the hassle of returning this only for the next one to be the same
>>51637301
20MB/s is pretty much the cap speed for USB 2.0 controllers
>>51637284
they're pretty decent if you get one that's compatible with kodi(what used to be xbmc)
>>51637284
Get an RPi
>>51637433
worst advice ever
If I overclock my CPU and RAM, should I lock BCLK to 100mhz to ensure it doesn't go out of spec? And what should I use for the BCLK/PCIE Ratio: Auto, 1.0, 1.25, 1.67, or 2.5?

I all ready have an AIO cooler, GPU, 500w PSU and SSD/HDD. Would /g/ make any changes to the rest of the parts?
I'm a CS student and plan on using the PC for uni work.
>>51637547
2666mhz ram
should cost like extra sterling and it still add some tiny benefit
after that its minuscule while the price rises rapidly
and I more prefer node304 case, but its all personal preference
>>51637351
Forgive me if I'm being a bit stupid here, but what do you mean by USB 2.0 controllers? Is my Micro SD card slot and my Laptop/PC's SD card slot an example of that?
Don't think I have a USB Micro SD card reader so haven't been able to test it with a USB 3.0 port
>>51637451
An RPi with IR receiver is a cheap and good general purpose mediabox. Not sure how it's bad advice unless you're a visualphile jerker who needs 4k hi10P output.

I've used eset smart security 8 with username and password from the internet and eset smart security 9 with activationkey after that.
But neither of them seems to work lately and I don't want to switch to some freeware which provides a fraction of 'security' and unnecessarily wastes ressources.

how to get payed solution AntiVirus for free without risking malware
- download Eset NOD32, its pure antivirus, no bundled shit
- enable 30 days free trial
- when it ends, google "eset trial keys"
- get another one, lasting 1-3 months
these keys can be used by multiple users so no, they are not taken... they just run out
do this few times a year and enjoy quality, very light AV, where you are not bothered by advertisements or some deep entanglement in to the system bullshit. Also it has lowest rate of false positives, so no fucking up your cracks and activation tools.

Alternatively you could just build something in a tiny case. Would probably save you a bit, too, and you can finetune you choice to your preferences.

there's SMART tests you can periodically run, but it's not perfect
if you don't want to lose the data, have more than one copy
for example, mirror that hdd with another hdd, that way, if one dies, you don't lose any data, and you just need to replace the dead one and mirror your data again

*I have no idea about what motherboard should I buy (besides it being LGA1150)
*Sticking to 8GB RAM for now, should I get 2x4GB or 2x8GB? is 1600 Mhz enough?
I already have an HDD and a PSU.
Bear in mind that prices are absolute bullshit here. GTX 980Ti is 1800USD rofl

I tried to install a new GPU so I took the old one out and only pulled those plugs and a few more out. I found out it didn't fit so I put things back together and now it won't boot. I get a green light on the MB and it will flash a red light once near the CPU. I assume it's the CPU but I didn't touch it. Any ideas?
How much bandwidth does 4chan use?

What to use for back-end? Language and frameworks.

hey guys, I'm trying to play the new Dwarf Fortress update on arch and when I run df (using ./df) it tells me that file ./libs/Dwarf_Fortress doesn't exist.

a bamboo one. its a cable that worked before with the tablet, i dont know what model it is. its an old tablet, but it worked literally like 2 weeks ago with this same cable. left it on my closet, took it out today, and no response. how can things go bad like that? maybe if i had dropped it but this is frustrating...
its one cable for everything so i suppose data and power.

Get a cheap DSLR + monopod. A lens will instantly improve your perceived production value.
When I turned my computer on yesterday, it reached the loading screen for Windows, then shut down by itself. I immediately decided to switch out the PSU with a spare (non-modular with lower rated wattage) PSU without any further testing, just to be safe. I guess I just had a bad feeling about the power supply, since I hadn't ever seen my computer shutdown without my input. This problem hasn't reoccurred since I switched to the spare power supply, but I still don't know if the other power supply is faulty, or if there might have been some other cause for the shutdown. If I reinstall the other power supply, would there be a risk that it might damage other components? For what it's worth, the power supply that I removed is an OCZ ModXStream and it's almost 6 years old now.

I have an old machine that can wake on lan but only if it was turned of at the S4 ACPI state (hibernate). I want to use it as a common file server for me and my family. The problem is I can't hibernate the machine, i've tried with pm-utils, uswsusp, with the kernel utilities and non of them have been worked, so my next step is to try tuxonice, but I haven't found any instructions on how to install the patched kernel, and i'm too stupid to figure it out. How can I go and install the oti kernel and make it work?
In the case It does not work either, can i emulate the S4 call to bios so it can wol even if it's completely turned off?
Everything works just fine in windows but I am sickened of it, fuck, I don't want to turn back to that shit.
Thanks a lot. and sorry to repost, other one was archived.

Will MX Player work out of the box with my chinese cartoons that have subtitles?
>>51639556
If you're running windows, go to the control panel and see if you can find it in the device managers. From there you can activate it or update the drivers.
You could also try leaving it plugged in and rebooting.
>>51639790
Maybe a little of configuration but if the subs are enbeded it should work just fine.
Is DQDirect.com a legit site?
It just looks so primitive. I know judging based on site designs is an archaic thing to do, but it does have a hotline and a geotrust certificate.
It sells refurbished stuff and there was a couple deals I wanted.
But at the same time, I don't want to give my credit card to some weird site.
Anyone have any more information on these guys? Apparently they have stellar reviews for their store.

How can I work out how long my algorithm will take?
I'm working on a program to solve a maths problem. It will likely take several weeks for the program to find a solution because it involves very large numbers (millions of digits/ megabytes per number).
I'm going to boot up an old PC and have it do the task, but I'd like to know how long the program should take before I run it.
On another note, are there any good ways of dealing with large numbers? At the moment I'm using C++ and Boost. Was wondering if maybe a GPU could help but I really don't know enough about hardware to tell.
Help?
>>51638808

>>51639886
You need to determine what kind of computation it is doing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_complexity_of_mathematical_operations
First, determine what it would be classified as in Big O notation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_O_notation
From this, you can how the time of your algorithm is going to behave as you approach a certain value for time. You may even be able to adjust your algorithm accordingly.
A GPU would help, but if you don't know GPU programming then it's not going to help much.
The thing that would help the most for you right now is threading, if you're aware of how to create threads and how to split your algorithm up into independent sections for threading.
/g/, why would anyone EVER use a third party browser, office suite, file manager, etc for Android? Other than its size, resources, and quirks, why do you guys prefer them? And how do you choose your favorites?
>>51639777
not enough context, I'm a *nix sys admin and you're posting funky shit that doesn't mix.
Rebuild your version and install drivers for everything you have, you will be able to hibernate, otherwise fucking use Windows.

How would you pronounce DDoS? Dee-doss? just doss?
>>51639955
Thanks. Yes I'm aware of/ have used threading before. I don't really know much about GPU programming but I could port the fairly simple program to OpenCL or something unless it requires a massive upheaval of my understanding (does it?). I've done work with OpenGL, but I know it's not the same thing.
When should and when shouldn't I use "var" when declaring variables in JavaScript?
>>51640081
the former
>>51640096
Use it when declaring your variable.
Don't use it when reassigning/initializing your variable.
>>51640084
> I don't really know much about GPU programming but I could port the fairly simple program to OpenCL or something unless it requires a massive upheaval of my understanding (does it?)
My knowledge ends there. I wouldn't even know where to tell you to go look to resolve that problem.
I do know that if you're expecting OpenCL to function similarly to a C-like language, you're going to have problems. OpenCL is meant specifically for programs that benefit from parallel computing.
I mean, if you put it that way, then sure, I wouldn't see why not.
>>51639954
I do just this, but I shitpost from my bed far away. If you're sitting up close you're going to be craning your head to see everything and the light is blinding unless you dim it. Also consider pixel density. Plugging and unplugging other stuff is semi-annoying but for me a non-issue.
>>51639954
Most televisions have an extremely high response rate, which makes them terrible for use with a PC. Also, what this anon said >>51640059. The pixel density won't be nearly as high, so it won't "feel" as high resolution and you'll have to sit quite far back to use it.
Plus, you can connect all of those things to 99% of monitors anyway. Currently I have my PC, PS4, and WiiU connected to this monitor.
Also, it's Blu-Ray, not Blue-Ray.

Thanks for your help. Seems like GPU accel is something I should explore if there's even the slightest possibility of speeding up the process. I'm not sure about multiprecision/big number support though, maybe it'll be something I have to write myself. All this after I actually sit down and figure out how long it will take with X threads. However many my old 560TI can handle.
I'm using Chrome and I'm wondering if there's a way to change the white screen when you open a new tab or load a new page, I want to change it from white to black cause it blinds me when everything else I use is dark, black and easy on the eyes. Open a new tab there and you'll see the white screen before loading to whatever you've set as home, that's what I'm referring to.
Is there anyway to do this?

I think my chick has more than one Email and I don't have her phone. I think she's cheating on me. I found a Email may be one that gos to her I just want to find out before I confront her about it.
>>51640703
But if it's on the verge of dying, can't it cause damage to other components? How could I determine that it's still safe to use?
>>51640664
Shit, misread that. Thought you were talking about a GPU. Disregard this.

The WIndows 10 media creation tool. Last I heard it now supports entering your 7 key.
>>51640805
I lost that too. It's funny I barely even remember buying Win7. As if I didn't at all.
I don't even have Windows 10, senpai
>>51640759
yeah, it can damage the other components. From what you described, you should replace it. It's old, so it's probably on its way out.
Don't stress it too much, you can get a new power supply pretty cheap, and it's good to be sure rather than worrying about your comp all the time.

use verify-email dt org to verify it's registered; lullar dt com to check if the email is used with anything. Otherwise social engineer her or someone else / get access to her phone.

Anybody know how do android shit works?
When it updates does it just slump apks(like steam) to apps data or updates it completely removing old modules?
Also how do i design nosql document based database? do i just put the data in a document in a unique uri or there is some kind of norm like in RDMS

You can make a bootable flash drive that will install windows 7. You could also get the ISO and burn a new CD and all you really need is a valid CDkey.
The program and ISO are somewhere on microsoft's website and easy to find with google.
>mfw I moved my OS to an SSD and then deactivated the old drive to format it
>I had to use rufus to rebuild the bootmgr on the SSD

In the description it says it doesn't work on all LCD monitors. How do you know if your LCD monitor has a polarizing screen on it?
I can hear my hard-drive getting ready to kick the bucket. I lost my laptop with my backup on it, so I've been trying to make a backup ISO on a second hard-drive I found laying around. Using the Window's Back Up keeps giving me this error. I'm not sure what to do about it. Disregard the available space on the hard-drive; it's full of the failed ISO. I delete it and format the hard-drive before I run a backup attempt.

If I do, I'll write a short guide on how to do it.

Building a new computer, is there anything glaringly wrong with this?
Not focused on super high end gaming, just my computer is showing it's age and I think I need to start anew with everything. I don't need to buy the graphics card right away though, mine is good but not great.
And the SSD and HDD I'll change out for cheaper or better brands, I just put it there as a reminder what to pick up. RAM sticks are just in case the one I have aren't compatible (they should be, but I'm not 100%, I need to go through and check)
$1000 is my budget, but I'm focused on getting the new processor, motherboard, and case. Power supply if mine is shit too.
>>51641357
good for you, I'm sure people will appreciate it
however, windows 10 is a botnet determined to take every single bit of information you ever owned and turn it into an organised file for microsoft to access at any point in time. I do not recommend using windows 10.
I got a ticket for public urination the other day, will this also be a point against my driver's license? I wasn't driving at the time but I don't want my insurance to go up.

Please don't copy it. You can clone the drive, but it's a huge pain in the dick and it never works right. Just do a fresh install.
>>51641412
probably not, but it depends on where you live. local laws can differ drastically.
>>51641357
you could just use daz

Don't copy it, just install it new. It takes like at most 10 minutes on a SSD.

Ok fine.
I understand that.
But do you have a place I could go to read that stuff?
Like, a pdf, or a YouTube video or something?

drop the 4790k and get a 8320 and OC to 5.2 to out perform(not in all areas) the 4790k for less.
unless money isnt an issue then yeah looks good except the 970 should be a 980ti unlocked with titan bios
I'm looking at a 150 dollar HP laptop with these specs :
>AMD A8 4555m quad core 1.6 ghz-2.4ghz "turbo boost"
>AMD Radeon HD 7600G
>6GB DDR3 SDRAM (2 DIMM)
>750GB 5400RPM hard drive
>windblows 10
My question, or concern is I only really want this laptop so I can play CS and browse /g/ when im traveling.
I emailed the person selling this laptop on craigslist, he said he was using it as a "gaming" pc. So with that said I asked him what games he was playing and what his average frames were in those games, he sent me this back.
>Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (60 fps)
>Call of Duty MW3 (60 fps)
>Tomb Raider (2013) (45 fps)
>Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (45 fps)
So I ended up googling the system requirements for all of those games, im still unsure if the pc actually ran those games at the FPS's he told me though, as the specs it uses just barely meet the requirements for those games.
>TLDR; Is this guy bullshitting me on the FPS's and if he is would this laptop still be able to handle playing CS?

>AMD Radeon HD 7600G

>>51642171
well honestly it depends on what your doing. if your gaming 4790k is overkill, save and get an 8320 and 780ti because what you save on the 8320 you should be able to get the 980ti which will be a better gaming pc then the 4790k 970 combo. BUT this all depends on what you plan on doing with it
>>51642231

your installpath is wrong or your harddrive keeps dismounting on write for some reason.

hey guys. Theres usually a thread for this at all times but they are annoying so I dont want to make one.
What browser should I try? Im currently using Opera. I dont use chrome anymore. I dont like how it runs in the background and has all the botnet shit in it.
I didnt like firefox for some reason.
kinda bored of opera, wanna try something different.
Im not a paranoid dude, but I dont want a ton of bloat.
Bonus: What about android browsers, using opera but thinking about switching to lightning browser.

Icecat is good for pc. lynx if you dont need much extra functionality.
lightning for android is fast and very stable.
You're missing out on extensions though.
Opera is just chrome with a wrapper at this point anyway.

I want to hold off buying a new video card (and other parts) until the new housefire cards are out. Does anyone know if there is an estimate of when they'll be released?
Also, is there a simple way i can figure out the power consumption from my current setup? Is there a sick website that i can plug parts into and it'll total up the power consumption of something? I was thinking about adding another 670 . I have a 650w power supply.

What's a good Linux distro (or any free OS really) that can run Matlab and has low power consumption (for use on a laptop).

Fucking javascript regex.
/^'/ should match a single quote IF and ONLY IF that single quote is at the beginning of the line, right?
>>51642650
Once you install Matlab, it's no longer free.
>>51642600
1) Early next year, according to a thread I just saw a few seconds ago. "Pascal" or something.
2) https://pcpartpicker.com/ gives you the wattage.
>>51642682
If you care about the file size, do 2-pass variable bitrate encoding. Otherwise, just use the "constant quality" and set it to max or whatever.
>>51642715
I'm talking about the OS you pedantic fuck.
Also I mean matlab and not octave before you suggest that. Octave has broken functionality in the things I need to do.
>>51642342
I think it's the latter, reinstalling did not help.

>Strange Windows 10 issue
So I've had this weird issue where my PC kind of freezes for like half a second every now and then, with no traces of any errors happening whatsoever afterwards.
Normally I'd pin something like this on a hardware fault, but here's the thing: It has only happened in Windows 10, and only in builds 10130 and up. Prior to 10130 this issue didn't exist at all.
During the insider previews I figured it was just another bug that would be fixed, so I reported it and kept reporting it with every new build until the final release.
Now a month or so into the final release this issue was still happening, so I went back to Windows 8.1 and, as expected, never experienced the issue again. At least until now, since I recently (yesterday) went back to Windows 10, thinking I might as well find out if it was fixed with the November update or whatever.
Turns out this randomly occurring issue is still around, and still leaves no trace after the short freezes. No errors or warnings in Event Viewer, no CPU spikes, no HDD spikes, no GPU spikes, no nothing. It just freezes for like half a second and leaves nothing behind to indicate that something out of the ordinary happened.
So now my question is this: Has anyone else experienced something like this ? Or does anyone at least have an idea how to possibly fix this issue ?
I've just now installed the chipset driver from MSI's website for my Z97 motherboard in hopes that a wonky driver might have been the issue, but since it's something that happens relatively rarely (2-3 times a day or so) and isn't possible for me to recreate, I don't know if this has solved the issue yet.
My computer is making a constant, fairly loud and noticeable buzzing noise whenever it's turned on. I assume it's capacitor whine. I tried switching to another power supply, but the noise is still there. What's most likely to be the cause? Is my motherboard fucked?
>>51641986
How long is it supposed to take to make a fresh ISO? i successfully updated to windows 10 with this but now it keeps hanging on creating an ISO so i can do a clean install
Hi, I recently purchased a t410 from e-bay for $95 and it arrived in the mail today (woop!). When installing a fresh copy of Debian, it randomly restarted, out of the blue. After I successfully installed Debian, it randomly restarted while i was using firefox. Now, I can't reinstall Debian without it restarting. This is the 3rd time in 4 hours, please help.
Why does my computer keep shutting down when i play games now that i installed my new R9 390x?
I have a 750W PSU and i'm within the recommended range.
My friend is building a new PC and he's giving me most of his old one.
I'll need a graphics card, but I'm also a poorfag right now so I don't want to spend that much at all.
Any suggestions on something not too expensive but that's still decent?
I play Dota 2, GTA V, Rocket League, and Starcraft II so I don't think it would have to be too fantastic. I'll upgrade in the future but right now things are tight
>>51642924
Is it a shut down or a power kill. There's a difference.
Run a temp check and watch it til it kills.
>>51642870
Do you have a HDD or SSD?
>>51642945
Shut down. The case fans and PSU fan LED are still on. One case fan is stays spinning.
To restart I have to flip the switch on the PSU to off and then on before the power switch works again.
>>51642941
Budget ?
Why can't you use the graphics card you have now ?
GTX 950 and GTX 960 are decent inexpensive options.
