My PSU's making a lot of noise, around 60 dB at idling. What do? Its like 11 years old
is it possible to get a free copy of iOS to run on a vm?
>>51730538
You get the iphone emulator when you download xcode. The emulator is running ios. What else do you need?
>>51730959
>xcode
does it run on loonix?
How do you plug in RCA A/V cables that are just White/Red?
They are marked as White being for video and Red being for audio.
Is there a connector I need to purchase to convert to to Yellow/White/Red output?
>>51731027
nope.
>>51731027
To follow up on the nope. What is it you want to do? Cos if you're going to be writing ios apps you will need a mac at some point.
zis there any way I can password protect rar files???
Yeah, why is Mega taking 20 minutes to download a 9.7 megabyte file where as I can do that instantly with literally everything else? I'm pissed. I'm trying to download their fucking megasync shit so I can download an English ISO of FF Type-0 on PSP, but the fact that it's taking 20 minutes to download a goddamn 9.7 MB file is pissing me the fuck off.
>>51731108
i just want to debug a website that is not functioning right on iOS
>>51731079
>he wants to create a signal out of thin air
I um... ahh... well....
Is that an actual picture of the cable you have? Take pictures of the ports on the two devices you are you trying to connect.
Also use jpg for photos, there's no reason that photo needs to be 2.54 MB. Png is better suited as a gif replacement for low-palette stuff.
>>51731178
I see. In that case it might be possible to get one of your browsers to pretend to be mobile safari. Look into how to set your browsers User Agent property. This might be enuf to show the bug. Maybe.
>>51731111
use 7 zip you proprietary nigger
>>51731127
>>51731212
Forgot to clarify. I'm using an older camera that has A/V outputs of White/Red only.
That's not my picture as I don't have any of those cables at the moment.
Any kind of solution to run 4chanx on safari os x? i didn't like JS Blocker and tamper monkey just resets the configuration
How come my browser downloads are slow, but downloading games to steam is still pretty fast at 15 MB/s?
So I'm looking at a gaming monitor. I WOULD like to get G-Sync, 144Mhz, and a less than 2ms response time and all that, but I also want 1440p. However that raises the price of monitors pretty significantly. Should I sacrifice 1440p for the features I want?

Either it's full of dust, and gets hot enough to spin the fan up to full speed, or the fan bearing is shot. If there's any grindy or rattling noises it's the latter. Do the following in this order until the problem is fixed:
>blow out the innards with a bottle of canned air. While the computer's off. Hold the fan blades still while doing this.
>if you suspect the fan, unplug the PSU, take it out, open it up, remove the fan. Under the sticker is the bearing well, possibly underneath a rubber plug. Put one drop of mineral oil (do not use vegetable oil or WD-40) in it. Reassemble everything.
>Buy a new PSU.

Are you using an ad blocker? Ads these days use "real time bidding" where various ad slots delay loading for a short period of time to let advertisers bid on how much they'll pay to put an ad there.
Is your DNS server shitty? A DNS server that takes a long time to respond will affect webpage name resolution, but not sustained download throughput, where all the transfers are to one server.

I have no idea if my DNS server is shitty, not sure how to check that. Anyways, yes, I use an adblocker, I use Ublock origin, I use Firefox as my main browser, problem is, I've tried downloading the same stuff with Chrone which has no addons on it, and the download speed in the browser is still extremely slow.
>>51731479
>I have no idea if my DNS server is shitty, not sure how to check that.
Look up a guide on changing your servers (it's not hard), and try a few. Google runs well known ones (yep, they're botnet) at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, and there are plenty of OpenNIC servers (a more privacy-respecting choice for long term use) to use. The default setting is to just use whatever the ISP sets, which is probably their own DNS server.
note that the symptoms of bad DNS will cause browsing to be slow (since thats where name lookups happen), but if you download a file, that will run much more quickly, since it's a connection to a single server with no name resolution.

I'm having difficulty grasping C++ and I think it's because I don't /think/ the way a programmer should as I come from a more visual arts background. Are there any books you guys can recommend that can steer me in a better direction?
>>51731938
Learn c first. Uee the k&r book and do the exercises at the end of each chapter.
If its oo you dont get, read Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with Applications by Grady Booch, the first 5 or 6 chapters give a decent grounding in oo.
>>51731938
The trick to it is easy to describe, but for a lot of people it's hard to actually do.
That is, you have to remember at all times that the computer does what you tell it to, and nothing more. It doesn't know or care what you wanted or meant, all it cares is what you typed, which it interprets very literally, the same way, every time. You have to accept that when something doesn't work properly, the computer didn't mess up - you did. The computer did exactly what you told it to. You just didn't tell it what you thought you did. You have to think very algorithmically, and think of how to give detailed instructions to accomplish what you want.
It's a hard mindset for some people to get into, but once you do, you'll have a much easier time of things.
>>51732003
If this is in fact your problem, then you definitely should not be starting with c++.
>>51731938
this shit is really hard to explain, but think about what problem you want to solve, and how you can break up said problem into smaller problems
do this until you have small enough problems that you can easily think up some code that does what you need
What is obamas last name?

What neat stuff can I do if I root my Moto G?
>>51731982
I learned a minimal amount of C as a prereq, and I think I threw myself into the deep end when I took this class. I think it's a lot of topics exclusive to OOP and C++. I was doing fine up until recently where I'm trying to teach myself strings, vectors, inheritance, references, dynamic arrays, and pointers to try to ease the difficulty of the textbook I'm reading, and it's still hard for me to grasp. It might be the case where I'm being explained how these tools work, but because I don't know what these tools are for exactly, and so it just sounds like a bunch of gibberish to me.
I'll check out both books, though. I think I should have taken an on-site class with labs and grad students babying me rather than an online class, but I don't know if I would have just as much difficulty learning the language. I know it's a difficult language to get, but I've seen most people teach it to themselves, do they not?

Thats the 850 EVO. Is there a difference?
Are:
-G-Sync
-1440p
-144Mhz worth it in a monitor?
>>51732333
For gaming?
YES.
>>51732339
What tradeoffs would you make? Like would you sacrifice 144Mhz for G-Sync and 1440p etc?
>>51732345
Depends on your goal and current setup.
What is ur current GPU & games you play?
>>51732400
GTX 980 Ti.
-Competitive games I play:
-Street Fighter
-League of Legends
-Rocket League

-CS:GO
-Wargame: Red Dragon
>>51730488
how can i switch the current entity a manager bean is managing, to an entity thats in a database?
>>51732413
Ok I would give importance:
1. 144hz
2. 1440p
3. G-SYNC
G-SYNC is great but its only really doing anything if you're at sub 80 FPS
>>51732444
But I can't stand screen-tearing but I want to avoid the input lag of V-sync.
>>51732454
You disable V-sync on a 144Hz monitor.
I've always enabled G-SYNC on my rog swift but I think screen tearing on 144fps/144hz is minimal.
So I got a pretty decent Samsung business laptop for free.
First thing I did was reinstalled OS on it.
Now only after I did everything I realized that I know nothing of UEFI and legacy/CSM boot modes and now I'm forced to boot in CSM mode, because if I use UEFI, it freezes my HDD for security reasons.
I did some googling, but it all talks about it from the OS installation process mentioning that you have to boot/install from FAT32 usb, not NTSF which is what I did.
Question, can I unfuck this and set the laptop to succesfully boot in UEFI mode and not freeze my HDD without reinstalling it all over again?
Which internal capture cards are good? My CPU is dogshit for recording and streaming, and the game I want to record has trouble with OBS anyway.
>>51732413

All these games are average-graphics, super high-FPS capable.
Get 144hz, hands down.
I have one and CSGO and I'ts been an eye opener for it since I bought it.
>>51732478
Won't I experience screen-tearing on more demanding games though, like UE4 games and GTAV? Especially at the higher resolutions?

Can someone give me a nontrivial example of where they've use a curiously recursive template definition in real code? I understand the concept, but I fail to see an occasion where reconsidering what I'm trying to achieve hasn't resulted in a better outcome. The trivial example of a counter makes perfect sense though, anything larger seems doomed to be overly complex.
>>51732487
do you have a decently modern nvidia card? they can be used to record/stream as well.
>>51732576
I am, because I play real games, not nugamer trash.
>>51732607
It does. Any game that realistically or at least semi-realistically depicts violence is garbage. Violent games need to be firmly based in fantasy to be good.

>>51734045
>>51734051
the card itself has had bad reviews stating that it freezes the computer. Nothing on it is different from when I bought it (nothing melted or cracked).
Nothing happened for the first year I've had it but then it kept freezing my computer in waves through the year every 1-2 months or so for a week.
I want to play League of Legends and some low end games on this PC(no Fallout or GTA5).
Can you name some trustworthy sites so I can check? My budget is 80$ tops
Hey /g/ how did you learn the Java libraries. Any good books, articles or PDF's?

How do I change the console colors, transparency, and font in urxvt console in arch Linux? I used arch wiki to set up an x resources file but a snippet of code I was told to put into my xinitrc prevented me from starting x. Additionally, the xdefaults and /. Config/openbox/autostart files I was told to create myself in my home directory don't do anything. At first my console background changed from white to black but it hasn't changed since.
And while I'm here, bash completion isn't offering any completion suggestions using urxvt. Any reason why? I would test it myself but I'm at work just trying to know what I'm gonna be doing when I get home.
Looks like I'm getting a new pc with preinstalled Win 10. Is the info on the wiki updated, or there's something else I should know?

PSU guy again
So I have another PSU lying around but it doesn't work, however I am fairly certain I can salvage the still working fan and Jerry rig it to the current PSU.
Now the problem is, the current PSU fan is rated for 12V 0.18A and the replacement is rated for 12V 0.25A
>>51734723
All I'm asking is if it's safe for me to replace the 0.18A fan with 0.25A fan ?

Oh, just to clarify here by "RAM speed" I'm specifically referring to the frequency.
In a situation where I have to lower my RAM multiplier to get stability for more CPU cycles, or lose the CPU cycles for more RAM frequency, not sure which is better.
>>51735128
>>51735206
Many articles show that it doesn't affect most things you'd do with a computer.
It shows in some benchmarks. Mostly compressing things is affected.

that number is how many amps it needs to run properly. either it'll just not work or might spin slower.
since the stock fan is lower amp that probably means the psu only supplies that many amps so using a higher rated fan wont damage anything.

Hey guys its me again, the PSU guy
I replaced the stock fan with higher rated fan and now somehow, the noise is hitting 75 dB. Its louder than before for sure, i dont know whats wrong, but im really on the edge now so im considering sticking a few resistors between the PSU and fan to slow the thing down.
My PSU is 250W and the air coming out of the PSU fan is cold air, so i dont think its even working that hard.
So should i stick in a few resistors? I get annoyed too quick by these loud background noises, plus 75 dB is a LOT at idle
>>51735817
>cheaper than gsync
>lower latency than gsync
>>51735833
is it the same size as the old fan?
is it clean (no dirt on blades)?
is it vibrating against something?
what kind of noise is it? grinding, whining, wooshing?
>>51735781
>http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/288?vs=102
Thanks! Think I'll just take my chances.
>>51735886
It's the same as size as old fan, sparkling clean, it's not vibrating against anything as far as I can notice and the noise is whooshing
When the same fan was in the other PSU, it was dead silent, less than 25 dB.
>>51735926
then it's running at full speed for some reason. does it have the same type of connector (number of pins) as the old one?
>>51735965
The PSU fans were soldered to the PSU board, I ripped out the old one and soldered the new one in the PSU.
Yeah I think you could say that, they're operating at full power all the time, seems like this PSU doesn't have variable control for fan
>>51736007
yup. you could try adding some resistor(s) like you said earlier.

It doesnt need to run everything on max but i dont want a piece of shit either and i know thats oxymoron when it comes to laptops. I would have just bought a rMBP but the inner autist child in me will eventually miss playing games, and i want to save some money to build a desktop when i have a permanent home.
I know its a meme but ive been looking at gaming laptops because they seem pretty powerful and ive seen the Lenovo Y50-70 which has a 960, i7 and IPS screen but i also read the screen's brightness is really low which is putting me off. Other than that it doesnt look completely ridiculous or big like the rest ive seen.
Anyone have any other recommendations for laptops or have any experience with the Lenovo i mentioned?

I guess what I'm asking is if there's a discriminate order to when it decides to write over it.
If I want something to stick around for potential recovery, should I just not do anything on that device until I can get it?
How the fuck does kissanime work?
They have all anime, if not all anime with both subs and english dub. They have somehow managed to upload all of that to google servers and sorted, without being caught. They also have a cartoon website with western cartoons.
All I can work out is that they are downloading anime torrents (probably from nyaa.se) then encoding them to include the watermark then uploading to google servers. I have no clue how they get it on google servers.

asus and msi also have pretty good gaming laptops. like >>51736171 said minimum i5 and 960m and 4GB ram if you want to game on it but since you will also do media stuff i'd recommend an i7 and 8gb ram.

So I dropped some money on an eGPU setup, so I can get my old AMD card working with my T420.
But god damn fuck those proprietary linux drivers are a mess. I couldn't get it working, and don't intend to at this point.

imo the only good reason to use LTS is if you're installing it for someone else, who you don't want to help upgrade in a couple of years.
if you can figure out installing linux, even in a GUI, you can figure out upgrading too.
there's no real difference in stability, and more recent software *is* an advantage.

I've heard about this, but i've been living under a rock. Do they actually collect that much information with W10? Just how hard will it be to disable all of it?
>>51736040
Thanks for the help man
I put a fan style potentiometer between the fan and the PSU and took out the control out of the case, now while its relatively quiet and i can adjust the fan speed, the potentiometer does get a bit hot, but i guess thats understandable and not a big issue
Thanks for the help
>pic related, thats the potentiometer
>>51737727
Yeah, they collect a lot. Like every file you open and every key you type level things.
In the beginning it was a pain to remove, but now there are tools that apparently do a lot of it for you with just a few clicks. I haven't used them though, since I only use windows for minor tasks in a VM, so I can't vouch for any of them.
However, Windows is proprietary, so we can never know how much data they actually collect. Likely, it is far more than we anticipate.
The anti-telemetry tools are often proprietary as well, so you can't even know exactly what or how much they are doing.

If you're trying to cut on costs, to eventually update later, reduce to 8GB RAM and get an SSD instead. It really is worth it for performance, and moving your system to another disk can be a hassle.

Linx. I guess I have to change my cooling system.
Bought an r5 230 video card for $25. Hdmi output is limited to 1080p and my 1440p monitor looks stupid at that resolution. The card is capable of 1440p through DVI though. Bought the dvi to hdmi adapter.
The card posts, shows splash screen, lets me go to BIOS if I chose to, etc. But then when it is supposed to show the login screen next (Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon) the screen stops receiving a signal. Turns off and the light on the screen blinks as if it is no longer getting a signal at all.
The same adapter and hdmi cable work when plugged into the motherboards onvoard DVI port though. The motherboard is an am1 socket that is only powered via 24 pin olug from psu, no 4 extra 4 pin for cpu.
Could it be that the card isn't getting enough power via pcie port? This shit is stupid already. Bought the 230 just to take some load off my baby sempron 3850.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Is this good? Should I cop?
Hey /sqt/ got a bit of a problem here, basically a while back I downloaded a crack for a game that contained some kind of malware in it. The guy running the stuff managed to get some kind of back door into my system and left a .txt document on my desktop saying "This is why you shouldn't pirate games, faggot." and I was actually kind of impressed at the time, and left a reply in the same document for him. Anyway this continued back and forth for a good two and a half years, with us chatting back and forth through that same document like some kind of Notepad Pen Pals, but then suddenly one day my hard drive died, and I had to reinstall Windows, and now I have no means of getting back in contact with the person on the other end. It really is upsetting to me, it feels like I've lost a close friend. Does anyone have any recommendations for how I might get back in touch? I've searched torrent sites for the old file that they initially infected me with but either it's been taken down by now or I can't find it.
I got myself some Be Quiet Shadow Wings but my motherboard can only manage the speed of 2 fans besides the CPU one (and I need 3), plus: I can't set the speed under 50% which is a little overkill for me so I was thinking of buying pic related (Lian Li PT-FN03).
The description says that it's not compatible with "PWM fans": does this mean that it can't deal with the PWM function or with PWM fans at all?

No need for a fan controller to do that
They are pretty useless since you basically never change the speed.
>>51738845
>Do SSDs come in different qualities?
Of course. Though it's not really a huge difference unless you get some weird bootleg Chinese shit or something
>Would using it as my sole hard drive cause problems?
Nah, I've been doing it for years. The SSD degradation thing gets totally exaggerated, it might have been an issue with the earliest models but nowadays chances are the thing will last you much longer than a traditional hard drive would have anyway.
>>51738838
yeah flatten and rebuild, if he's got shit you need to back up boot a live linux and backup from there

If its from a reliable company like Samsung, SanDisk, AData, Transcend, Crucial it generally should be no concern. Beware chinise no-name shit and Kingston SSD (the V300 series). And no, there is no problem using them as main drives.

Thanks m8
I have had a 1080 monitor for years and occasionally go over to friends houses and watch them play games with 1440p monitors. The games looks great but it seems like everything outside of games just looks wrong. It's like the scaling and dpi in Windows hasn't caught up yet to high resolution monitors outside of 1080. Even after adjusting the scaling and dpi it still seems off. Are my eye's shit? Is this a windows things? Is W10 any better?
>>51738916
Mine was a 128GB model, one of the cheaper ones I could find at the time, a Crucial M4 I believe. The speed increase was definitely worth it, big difference in boot times and I feel like a lot of stuff is generally more responsive in general system menus and stuff, though that could be partially placebo. Don't expect better FPS in games or whatever, though they will load faster.
Also at least for my brand firmware versions can sometimes make a big difference in performance, so it's worthwhile to check if there's an update after you get the thing (and see what people are saying about the update in forums if it is performing better/as well as older versions as in one case I know Crucial pushed an update that slowed the thing down for some inane reason and I had to revert)
>>51738845
$200 for 1TB SSD is usually a very good deal, now you have to keep in mind that some brands and models are really shitty, always Google a model first before buying it.
Now for a more "overall" answer I'd say that yes: they come in different qualities just like any other product, some of them have better lifetime because of different cell management (Google: Multi-level cell), the biggest "issue" with a SSD is the limit of read/write cycles on a cell (this is why a SSD is fragmented and shouldn't be defragmented), if you wanna do a lot of writing/deleting on your disk you better take a HDD.
My current moto is: a SSD for the OS, softwares and games and a HDD for data.

On W8 it can be fixed with a setting (though it's non-intuitive, it's the one to use the same scaling value for all monitors) on W10 last I checked you needed a hack to fix it which in my experience made the system much less stable on boot and led to some bluescreens
>>51738994
Thanks for the info. Glad to know it wasn't just me. I'd love to get a 1440 for games but it would drive me fucking crazy if I had to look at that scaling. I guess I could always go with a dual monitor setup, one more games and one for just browsing.
Has MS or anyone commented on the state of dps scaling in Windows yet? Or is this something that's not going to be right until like Windows 15?
>>51739071
Well as I said it's something that can be fixed (well, mostly, a handful of programs still have issues but it's more along the lines of menus being misaligned rather than that god-awful blur) though I'm not really sure why Microsoft went out of their way to remove the fix option in W10 and force you to use a hack to reactivate it.

Hello dear Anonymous, How is your day?
Look, I have an old laptop and I can barely use Firefox to go through the net.
I tried Chrome and Chromium, but they were also too big for my little 1Gb laptop.
Do you know about some light navigator please? I really need one.
Oh, I'm on Linux, if it matters.
Thanks for your attention.
Is it possible to replace a dedicated graphics card on a laptop (if not soldered)?
>>51739142
You could put everything inside an encrypted folder.>>51738682

Hmm, any recomendations ?
>>51739239
fucked up with the reference nbd
>>51739256
i don't have any recs off hand. i'm sure there's a lot of tools out there. You can do this in windows. a quick google search should do it senpai.
how do i make chrome's font rendering not shit
>>51739308
Okay. Tried with TrueCrypt 3 years ago it ended in disaster.
Wish me luck

What are the dimentions and weight of an Intel i5-4670K (or probably any other model) box (with the processor and cooler inside ofc.)?
>>51739357
gl senpai
>>51739402
for a 3570k:
10.2x8.3x11.5cm
310 grams without the CPU.
maybe add 40 grams for the CPU, not sure.
>>51739519
Thanks bro.
Alright /g/, currently in college and I'm majoring in computer science. I want to work on computers that buy/sell stocks. What should I look into?
I'd like to use Tor (through Tails), what's the difference between a exit relay node and a non-exit relay node. Also which one should I use if I don't want to receive complains by my ISP?
>>51736819
yes and no. google collects your chrome data but it's not an actual botnet.
>>51736863
opera

check torrentfreak for a list of good VPNs
>>51736897
m3? not i3? get an i5. i used photoshop with 4GB RAM before, it runs fine for less complex work, but if you do professional photoshop stuff (large files, lots of effects and layers) you should get 8GB.
>>51737173
never heard of anyone getting shit for direct downloads. get a VPN if you're paranoid (torrentfreak has list).

your country doesnt have a national hotline for medical advice?
>>51737538
it should work.
>>51737800
solder or clamp a piece of metal to it
>>51737976
keep the cpu and gpu IMO, especially if you're going to upgrade resolution soon.
also it'll last longer than an i5 and 970, even more once dx12 comes and hopefully improves multicore/threading support for all kinds of applications.
>>51737958
compre the two i5's and see if it's only the stock core speed that is different, if it is, get the cheaper one..
i7 if you do media editing or rendering, if only gaming get i5.
>>51738107
it depends on if you buy a digital or physical copy. it's almost always physical copy if you buy from online shops.
you can only use it on 1 pc at a time, for example you install it on your current PC, then 3 years later you buy a new one and throw away the old PC, you can use the same windows key on the new PC. just make sure you format/erase the old PC hard drive if you sell it.
>>51738125
holy hell that is hot. should not be above 65...
>>51738154
should be a fuckton of stuff on the raspi wiki
>>51738239
nah the 4 extra pins are for the CPU.
the PCI-E slot should be able to put out like 70W, that's way more than a 230 needs i think
you dont have DVI or DP input on the monitor?
is the OS correctly config'd? updated drivers? update bios?
What would /g/ recomend as a first programming language that isn't python? Is it worth learning java? From what I've read it's suposed to be pretty simple and can be used for alot of stuff. But it gets alot of hate on /g/
Is the 750ti really bad or is it just a meme?
My laptop came with windows on it and I want to format it and install arch no dual boot. How do I backup windows so that I can go back if I don't like it?
>>51739842
It gets a lot of hate everywhere actually, even by normies.
I think you need to think about what you want to make before you think about what language you want to learn.
Is the option to double right click and loop a youtube video on chrome just fucking gone for anyone else?
I've turned everything off and on and deleted my history + cache.
I have no idea what the hell is going on.
>>51739921
I'm going to start studying CS next year so I just want to be as prepared as possible. I guess I could learn some C# and make apps for normies?
>>51738416
should be in the wiki post in the catalog

if you dont play games, it's fine i guess.
>>51738756
do the freezer trick. google it.
>>51738627
they have different pins for different features i think. so if you ran a fan control on it it'd probably mess it up or just not work.
>>51738729
i'd learn how to do it, it's actally quite fun and you'll know more for the next time you upgrade.
if you're really unsure you can a friend that knows how to build to be with you and just watch in case you mess up.
>>51738777
unplug them...?
>>51738920
intel is also solid
>>51739211
yeah as long as it's an identical model
>>51739644
wall street.
>>51739856
it's rather outdated and it was already a budget card when release.
you should really save up some more money and get a better card.
>>51739842
c++
>>51739916
if you're asking this, you probably won't feel comfortable using arch, I recommend you start with easier distros (Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora). Once you install the os, it will ask you if you want Linux alongside windows or if you want to format the HDD and install only linux on it.
If you choose the first option, everytime you boot, you'll have to select the OS you want to use
Why do people here respond strongly to the word 'coder'? Are 'code' and 'coding' the same?
Should I encrypt my lewd animu picture collection, my entire drive or just put it all into a tar archive?

Is there anything like flux that works with displaylink monitors?
just got a thinkpad, and it came with a 1366x768 screen instead of a 1600x900, If i choose ot replace it would linux fuck up at all or would it just auto detect the new screen resolution after I install the new panel and work OOTB
>>51740979
would it even be compatible with the rest of the laptop? that's the question you should be asking. linux will detect it.
new thread >>51741068
new thread >>51741068
>>51741027
yeah it would just be a screen replacement for the same model of thinkpad
>>51741121
the SCREEN is a different model. does the laptop support that new model? im not talking about size and resolution, but the hardware.
>>51741208
yes it would
Hi. Help a noob please. I have LG G3 rooted, installed adaway, I have fresh hosts files applied and I still see fuckung ads in my phone. What do?
Im >>51738239
>>51739816
Yea brand new eveeything. All properly flashed etc. Fresh install of Mint. Primary graphics adapter is set to pcie mode too.
When the board boots it does however say a message. "Running in pcie mode 2.0, no device detected". This is right before the screen goes to black.
Fucking weird man. Maybe there isba new BIOS revision for the board I havent seen?
>>51741324
maybe not a big enough psu to power it?
>>51741372
The psu is a tried and tested evga 500w. And the card is only like a 25w tdp card. The whole system at MOST is using maybe 85w under 100% load all around.
I dont get it. Just seems like it doesnt want to play nice.
>>51741279
did you restart yet?
>>51741442
have you tried it in another slot if you have one available? another possibility to consider is sometimes things arrive doa for no good reason
What are the maintenance programs i ought to use for windows? I use Anti-Malwarebytes, Defraggler and CCleaner, which are all from the same company IIRC, but there still seems to be software-issues which i can't understand
>>51741771
none.
you keep having issues because you fuck it up with "optimization" software that make everything worse.
>>51741796
this
>>51741771
>Anti-Malwarebytes
it's malwarebytes antimalware, or just malwarebytes or mbam.
also are you using their active protection or just the free manual scans?
>>51741771
>Anti-Malwarebytes
I assume you mean Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, or MBAM. Malwarebytes is made by Malwarebytes Corporation, not Piriform.
>>51741839
Active protection
>>51741771
The only worthwhile antivirus is Common Sense™ 2015. Everything else is just a placebo.
>>51741862
you're using a cracked version aren't you?
>>51741502
Its an mitx board so no other slot to try it in. And idk it is weird. You're right. It might just be the card. Hdmi would cut out randomly as well.
Ah well. On board is good enough. Just figured it would take some of the stress of ddiving a 1440p pabel away from the slow as it is 3850.
Thanks anon for the input
>>51742089
you have a friend with a machine you could test the card in?
