I'm fucking lost in this basic php/mysql shit
I wanna show the latest row of my table, and it works fine if I doSELECT * FROM guestbook_table ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1in phpmyadmin. But I want to do it on my site.
I thought I just had to do$sql = 'SELECT * FROM guestbook_table ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1';and thenecho "$sql";where I want to print it. But that just prints the command, not the actual contents.
Help bls.
>>51891959
>echo "$sql"
all you did was create the command. You have to a) connect to your database and b) send the command ($sql) then c) present the result
>>51891959
Look here: meekro.com
Download that, include it into your php page, configure it (real easy to do).
Now to do what you want:
$sql = DB::queryFirstRow("SELECT * FROM guestbook_table ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1");
Now you want to echo fields...
echo $sql['field_name'];
Using meekrodb will protect you against sql attacks and such I do believe, I get on well with it.

No.
How is your audio setup ? Some kind of external DAC, or speakers/headphones connected directly to the ports on your motherboard ?
>>51892066
>headphones connected directly to the ports on your motherboard ?
this. ath m50.
cheap $50 asus motherboard with built in audio/integrated graphics.
think it's the motherboard?
>>51892046
144hz monitors will have low ms so it doesn't matter. Resolution is preference, if you have the extra money and your rig is powerful enough to play at a higher resolution you can go for a higher resolution otherwise 1920x1080 is fine
>>51891941
It depends on your personal tastes, what kind of vidya you're playing, what level you're playing said vidya at, whether you want placebo refresh rates and response times, and so on.
Based on the amount of information you've given in your post, I'd recommend you go for a nice 60Hz IPS monitor. Grey to grey response time (aka. muh ms) is the most placebo "spec" of all of them, do not bother giving half a shit about this.

Could be, I'd say it's either bad built-in audio, or a bad driver causing this.
Assuming that your audio is late compared to your video, what happens if you play music on your desktop ?
Is there a delay between pressing play/pause and the music playing/pausing ?
Do you have something like a USB DAC available to try out ?

How is it that in GNUPG or PGP we can be sure that my public/private key pair hasnt been generated before and is in use? Is it just cause my name and email are in it?

Is the delay amount consistent across all media?
>>51892197
no. it's worse with certain video files.
sometimes it's barely noticible other times the actor mouth keeps moving two seconds after the audio stopped talking
>>51892175
Quite possibly.
Do you happen to be using displayport or HDMI with your monitor, and if so does your monitor have a headphone jack or built-in speakers ?
You could try switching over to your GPU's audio through HDMI/displayport, see if this fixes the sync issue. If it doesn't, then a cheap soundcard isn't the answer and you need to look into software issues.
>>51892212
Have you tested these files (after noticing the problem) on a different device? If not, your files may have been / are being corrupted.
using dual link dvi. no 3.5mm or built in speakers.
my gpu has built in audio?
>>51892258
>my gpu has built in audio?
Yep, pretty much all modern GPUs have built in audio, it's how they get HDMI/displayport audio to work.
If you have a TV, you can try hooking your computer up to that through HDMI to test, otherwise test your files on a different device like >>51892224 said.
Though this >>51892212
>sometimes it's barely noticible other times the actor mouth keeps moving two seconds after the audio stopped talking
points towards something other than an audio issue, if it's the picture that's lagging behind.

Would it be wise to change your user agent or use something like Blender with Tor browser?
So, sometimes when I have pngs with transparent backgrounds, the background shows up as completely black when I'm looking at the picture's thumbnail in windows' file explorer. Also for some reasons I don't understand, renaming it to .gif solves this.
pic related is an example.
Why do you think that is?
>>51892661
>Would it be wise to change your user agent or use something like Blender with Tor browser?
no
1. additional extensions helps deanonymizing the user and could introduce security problems
2. all tor users having the same user agent increases anonymity because it reduces the chance for a more unique fingerprint
>>51892685
Precisely what I suspected. Thanks for confirming anon.

If you sit ~45-55cm away from the screen, get 23-24". Any higher and part of the screen will be outside even your semi-decent vision.
Get a monitor with low input lag. One frame is 16.66ms, so aim for 16ms or less lag. Response times are less important. Color accuracy may be an important consideration, and tilt/height adjustment factors is often necessary for optimal calibration.
Check benchmarks to find the real contrast ratio. Generally there is a trade-off between brightness and contrast, so a properly calibrated monitor may only run at say 36% brightness. Look for a monitor that can run at high brightness without 'crushing' the blacks/whites - what this means is that a pure white and a slightly green white become indistinguishable. Also look for brightness uniformity.
If your GPU can run games at 80fps+, then you might want to consider a 120hz/144hz monitor, but the problem is that you're getting a mystery box as far as color accuracy and input lag is concerned and its doubtful its any good. Keep in mind that 60hz monitors can be overclocked up to about 75hz in some cases, but this seems to come at the expense of other things and doesn't always mean displaying 75fps.
4K is a meme, and 1440p is ok but 78% more demanding than 1080p and 1080p is still the best supported resolution.
TFT central do detailed reviews of a few monitors. The Dell U2414H looks about the best option at the moment:
23.8" 1920x1080 60hz
Excellent color accuracy (96% sRGB IPS)
8.9ms response time (but only 4ms total lag!)
20W power consumption
Tilt/height adjustment
Wait until it appears on Dell outlet at a reduced price. If your current monitor is already 23"+ and has a measured input lag of 30ms or less, then you might just want to stick with what you've got for now.
has anyone had the green tea kitkats?
I remember how getting a "free" permanent activation for windows 10 was as easy as installing Windows 7, using daz loader and upgrading to 10 on it.
Now I have a new PC with UEFI and all its bells and whistles, does this process still work? It just feels stupid to be using MS toolkit on Windows 10 but that's what I'm doing right now.
Looking for help with my video cards.
Here's my build - http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nyF9FT
I've had the 7950's for about a year and a half now, and they're giving me nothing but problems. Constant overheating with idle temps at 65C, and crossfiring & overclocking are iffy at best. It's a struggle to run games like Far Cry 4, Just Cause 3, Fallout 4, etc. And the drivers, holy shit the drivers. Crimson has done nothing but screw up my system even more, with crimson causing artifacting and other issues, and the UI is just terrible. I love waiting 4 months for new drivers, only to find out they still suck.
I've got a 144hz monitor, but only really give a shit about 144hz in CSGO, so all I'm looking for is a video card that can support 60+fps / 1080p (1440p in a year or so) , and can handle dual monitors, but gaming only on one of them.
My budget is ~$375, but can go higher / lower depending on what's out there. I've mainly been looking at the 970's, but is the 970 4GB, better than my current cards, even with all their problems? I'm not picky on Radeon or Nvidia, just looking for the best bang for my buck at the moment. I'm sure I'm excluding / missing some important details, so if I do, just let me know if I am.
If need be I can post Speccy / GPUZ / anything else if more info is required.
Thanks -

Does firmware for your router affect your ISP?
Like say if it's something on their end would they be able to fix a connection problem or would it be up to me?
Also is setting up the firmware easy/risk free?
>>51893068
Running a single GPU set up will more than likely alleviate some stress as some games have terrible crossfire support. At a 375$ price point the 970 is more than likely your best choice, however the 980 is a sizable improvement if you are willing to trickle in that extra 100$.
If the cards are causing you too many problems, buy a 970 now, if you want to wait and see, save up for that 98.
>>51893298
>Like say if it's something on their end would they be able to fix a connection problem or would it be up to me?
What are you even asking? Using non-stock firmware means no more hand holding from your ISP's tech support.
>Also is setting up the firmware easy/risk free?
Depends.
>>51893329
So if there's a problem with a connection it's own me to fix it? What about if it's like a first time setup for the ISP, would that interfere?
Does cloning the hdd copies whole file structure, with fragmentation and shit?
>>51893345
Depends on whether the problem is your fault or their fault. You fix your shit, they fix theirs.
>>51893356
Usually, yes. A "bare metal" image/close copies the sectors directly.
>>51893371
I assume you can't clone system partition to another drive while system is running?
>>51893320
The cards run great for most, if not all games, maintaining 60+ fps on 1080p, however it's the temperatures that fuck me over.
They're idling at 65C and 42C at the moment, and all I'm doing is watching Netflix and a few tabs up. I ran Dying Light earlier and first card got up to 90+C and the other was at about 83C.
That's with fans at 60% each, and a few other fans blowing onto the cards themselves.
I might just splurge and get the 980, but how does the 980 compare to the 390x?
>>51893401
No, there are read-protected areas. Best way is to boot something like clonezilla and take images from there.
>>51893402
The 980 and 390x trade blows pretty evenly, they preform better on different games with a 5 fps deviation at maximum. If temps are an issue the 390x does consume much more power than the 980 does, so it will certainly run hotter. You also get the benefit of faster and more consistent driver support from Nvidia's side, so I would really lean towards thje 980.
>>51893453
Yeh, the driver support, or rather lack thereof really pisses me off about Radeon. Their newest driver has made JC3 to artifact and crimson just sucks all around. At this point I'd rather just deal with Nvidia.
>>51893427
Images. Can't I clone directly from drive to drive?
>>51893492
Well yes, that'd work too, as long as you have enough bays/cables.
>>51893500
So you're recommending clonezilla. Will it let me to resize partitions before or after cloning them?
how do I run a simple sql command like this but in a .php document instead of phpmyadmin?
I have connected to the database, but I just can't figure out where to go from here.
>>51893523
No, clonezilla isn't a full linux distro, it's literally just for
>taking images of disks
>restoring images of disks
>taking images of partitions
>restoring images of partitions
>cloning disks or partitions directly
The point is for it to be as small as possible so you can PXE boot it without waiting forever.

I bought a x220 recently and tried running linux on it, I got everything installed and ots working okay, but I want to actually code on the machine and I like Visual Studio.
Whatever company I bought the x220 from ripped the windows key off the back. I've torrented photoshop fine, successfully installing the executable version without the updater running ect. I've torrented plenty of games fine but I've never run a pirated OS.

Microsoft knows most people don't buy Windows, or use only a legal version on devices that come with a license (like laptops or x86 tablets). They don't give two shits about that in particular.
They are more concerned with what you do with your OS rather than pirating it. If they were concerned about it enough, they have it extremely easy to find out nowadays and they would make a lot more people switch to linux. Enough to make Adobe consider it a failure.
>>51893621
It could be a hardware error. My C300 will only let me boot windows if it is warmed up. On a cold boot it will bluescreen and I'd have to leave it with the blue screen for a few minutes then I could reboot and it works fine.

My bad, I can't into reading. What version of windows did it come with? 7?
You can try reinstalling using an oem key and then just upgrade to 10
>>51893901
It came with windows 7 professional installed and before I installed linux I went to MyComp -> Properties and stored the product key but it when I tried to upgrade to 10 with it and get an ISO it didn't have enough characters. It had like 20 and needed 25.
I still have it if that helps.
>>51893921
I have some unused oem pro keys but if I post them on 4chan, I can't guarantee that they'll continue to be unused.
The company I work for has hundreds of computers that came with windows 7 or 8 pro and all of them are formatted to enterprise. I snap a picture of a key every now and then incase I need one. I snagged them for personal use so I wouldn't have to pirate windows.
Again, I would just purchase a legit new key if there's any chance it will be involved in any legit business work but I can't tell you what to do.

It will improve performance in anything that requires GPU, obviously.
You didn't need to disable it in the BIOS, you can just open the AMD/Nvidia control panel and select what programs will run on the integrated graphics of your CPU or on the dedicated GPU. By default everything is set to integrated graphics, which is much less power hungry than dedicated graphics.

Like, if you get artifacts and weird shit in a benchmark at 1200 mhz, drop it to 1175 or something like that
>>51894918
can you OC without increasing voltage?

>>51894918
>Core voltage +100
>+50% power limit
>>51894918
>>51894935
Thanks guys, appreciate the input
>>51894943
yeah you can still get a decent overclock without touching voltage but it will let you overclock further if you got good cooling
I'm getting these weird artifacts? (maybe, if that's what you want to call them)
But it's always square/ rectangle shaped, flashes, and sometimes I can make out an image in it, but broken up, or text.
I used to be able to screenshot it but now it doesn't show up.
I get issues in games with textures flickering or these large obnoxious flashing triangles of usually a solid color.
Usually I'd say what I'm expecting to get as a response to this and it's that the GPU is fucked, but this is the second GPU to do this to me.
I had a gtx 670 that inexplicably died on me, replaced with a 7870 that gave me these issues, that's since been replaced with an r9 280x that still gives them.
So is this a mobo problem? I'd like to try and narrow it down before I start buying things.
any way to fix this speaker
>>51894999
Did it take a little while to start happening or did it start happening as soon as you installed the new card?
>>51895025
It started so long back I may be wrong but I didn't notice them at first.
But even in this thread I'll sometimes see little snippets of text, cut in half horizontally in a spot it's not supposed to be.
>>51894992
I'm just trying to grasp the concept of it all. Am I correct when I say
>Increasing the clock frequency increases the amount of operations per second (duh).
>A higher clock frequency requires higher voltage to maintain its stability and avoid crashes and errors
>Too low voltages results in crashes
>A higher voltage increases the heat generated in the card, thus requires better cooling to maintain a decent temperature
Am I wrong on any of these points?
Is this the whole deal with OCing?
Am I missing any vital parts related to OCing (especially related to the survival of the component)?

This was supposed to be an easy installer for Arch and it installed seamlessly on my virtual machine before I tried it on my real computer.
>>51895052
Not that other guy, but my friend had this situation some years back. The screen would show the image, but many small squares had switched places, been rotated, cut in half, etc like you're talking about (his were pretty much constant tho, there were a lot of them on his screen and some of them lasted for minutes). It's probably a dying GPU or monitor, not exactly sure which one. Have you tried a different monitor?
I any way that i can run twitch url from mpv ?
>>51895131
I have 2 Dell u2412m's and it will happen on both. It'll happen with just of the monitors (either of them alone)
This happened with my last GPU, and this one so I don't want to blame that just yet

Hypothetically, what's the limit of overclocking? Like, say you put your PC into a liquid nitrogen tank or some shit that's super cold (even if this wouldn't work, just picture the scenario), would you be able to OC to like 40 ghz or is there a point where no matter how cool you keep the CPU, it breaks or simply stops going faster?
>>51895201
The metal would warp/snap.
W7 with daz here.
I actually want to keep w7 on my desktop but I'm willing to try w10 on the laptop.
Can I create a w10 boot USB flash drive without compromising my w7?
>>51895201
Mainly depends on the properties of material.
If you get a superconductor, you can overclock to infinite Ghz.
what is the best benchmark software out there?
>>51895201
Since speed of light is limited, there is a physical limit where the signal simply can't move fast enough to its destination before the next clock comes.
>>51895158
Found a picture of when i could screenshot it. Looks like this, Not always in the same position. But always looks like that. Colors vary etc,
>>51895201
Yes, the electronics have physical limitations.
For instance, the formula for finding a capacitor's reactance (look at it as the "resistance" in a capacitor) is as follows:
Xc=1/(2 * pi * f * C), where Xc is the reactance, f is the frequency of the signal and C is the capacitance of the capacitor. If you set a frequency f that is insanely high, the reactance of the capacitor gets so close to 0 that it's basically a short circuit. Therefore, the capacitor loses its effect and the circuit doesn't work (ofcource, this depends on the actual circuit, but you get my point).
>tl;dr
Yes, when you get to a certain point, the system will fall apart because of limitations in the hardware.
>>51895270
>Before the next clock comes
>CPU so fast that it's already calculated the problem before the signal reaches the monitor
Are these good? I mean, they look good and cost barely anything, so they're probably good for the price.
Upgrading to 980ti, but I have a 1080p asus monitor at the moment. I realize it's overkill now but what monitor(s) should I look into for the future for my 980ti. Are Gsync monitors the future? 4K? Wat do?
>>51895459
I'd look into some 34" ultrawide IPS with that card. Gsync is nice, whether you care about it is up to you as you'll probably only find it on ricer gaymen trash.

Ok /G/ents you have never fail me so i ask of your advice today.
im gonna be buying a new monitor for the holidays and i cant decide between the two.
mind you they are the same price so ignore the fact that one is refurbished.I will clearly be buying this brand new. both are 4k and can do 1080p at 120hz native. while the first one needs to be overclocked to do 120hz but second one is 120hz out of the box. so which one is better and why?

As long as it doesn't get below freezing in there, you should be fine. Even if it dips below freezing it will probably be fine because it's in a box and has multiple layers of insulation (shed, box, etc). If it does have an issue though, it would not be unreasonable to take it back to the store and get an exchange.

Why does 7zip hide the contents of the folder inside a second folder when you choose to zip it up? Is there a way to make it stop doing this?
>>51896387
It'll take less time to wipe it and reinstall windows (and the drivers and so on) from scratch than it will to troubleshoot why it's doing this. Especially if it's actually indicative of malware.
>>51896445
No.
Or you can zip all the contents directly instead of putting them in a folder and zipping the folder.

>>51896524
1. download windows installer dvd image
2. burn to dvd
(alternatively, buy a windows installer dvd)
3. jam it in
4. turn it on
5. follow the steps, namely,
5.1. at the screen that shows the disk partition(s), select each partition and click delete, until there's nothing but a single "unallocated" entry left, then click next (setup will make new partitions automatically if nothing exists/is selected)
6. once it's done, go to the laptop manufacturers' website, under the support/drivers section, find your model by the model number typically on the screen bezel or underside sticker, and download/install all listed drivers for the version of windows you installed
>>51896594

np, the rest of the windows setup steps should be self-explanatory, it's all fancy and graphical (that is, it looks and functions similar to installing any windows program, which you are no doubt already familiar with), at least for vista and above
defaults for everything will work, only the disk portion may be confusing, which is why i outlined it
>>51896626
HOLD THE FUCK UP
Make sure you also download your computers network or lan driver before you remove windows. Most times you won't be able to have internet after the install, and if you can at least get the network driver working then you can download and update everything else.

>>51896825
i'd only bother if it's got a pci-e slot
a p4 with old gpu can emulate about as much a raspberry pi 2 can, with a much higher power/size footprint
with a pci-e slot however, you can couple it with a low end but more recent gpu to run a good number of newer games
Ok, so I have a folder specifically dedicated for pictures and other media. Previously, I recall having about 8k+ objects (including webms and other stuff). However, now I only see 7,541 items in the folder. I might be wrong and my memory could fail me but is there a way to see a history of the folder? Any other options? I've already checked the health status in CrystalDiskInfo and it's "Good". Tried using Recuva for file recovery and it only found a couple of deleted files. Odds are I am completely wrong and the number of files is correct.
Also, I've sorted that picture folder by date so that the newest files are at the top while the oldest are at the bottom. But when I look through that pictures folder, I sometimes see relatively new files at the bottom. Any ideas about it?

Whenever I open my Downloads folder I get a dll host process that immediately goes to 25% cpu (on a quadcore system). Sometimes it's a svchost, sometimes the explorer itself goes to 25% immediately. What causes this?
