Techno newbie here, I'm buying a brand new moto g, and I heard about rooting. Is this a smart idea for someone without a clue and low on cash? (Meaning I can't afford a new phone in case i rek it)

Ever since I got new speakers I can hear noise/static from them while scrolling and hard drive activity happens. I got a USB DAC to attempt to fix this, but it didn't go away. Also, the noise goes away if I connect my laptop to the speakers instead of my PC. Is this a ground loop issue or a motherboard issue, and how would I go about fixing this? The first seems unlikely because my speakers are plugged in the same outlet as my PC, but the latter seems unlikely as well because my motherboard was pretty expensive and has a special USB port which apparently outputs stable 5V power, made specifically for USB DACs.

I keep seeing WD Blues be meme-arrowed here on /g/, is it just shitposting?
>>51978423
I have my main monitor on the left, while secondary is on the right.
Whenever I run an old game that doesn't support my main display's native resolution (1080p), my second screen gets fucked up: all the windows get moved, icons on the desktop get moved and basically it seems that shit from my main display gets moved on the right.
HOWEVER, this shit DOESN'T happen if I set my main display to the right in windows display option. It only happens if the main screen is set to be on the left. Is there any way to fix this shit? I don't want to switch my monitors on the desk

Looking for a tablet to consume my media, especially anime, on. Narrowed it down to the Pixel C.
Comes with the latest nvidia chipset and latest Android. As far as I can see it's powerful enough for 10bit and HEVC content.
My stupid question: are there any obvious downsides to this device? It's not the most affordable device on the market but I'd rather not cheap out.
My cooler and GPU are full of dust and im afraid itll blow up at any moment, its heating a lot.
What are the chances ill break everything if i open my CPU and remove them for cleaning? Ive never done this before
Do i NEED to apply new thermal paste or can i just get the dust off?
>>51979060
You're using a lot of incorrect terminology here I think
Just get some canned air, open your computer case up and dust everything off.
>>51979060
just get the dust off
you only need new thermal paste every year or so
i know this is rather /v/ but there is no such thread:
how do i fix this shit?

Check your warranty.
While rooting is a pretty straight forward and safe process nowadays, some warranties might void if you do so. So if your phone has an unrelated failure that you can't repair, you're fugged.
I'd say wait a couple months if your warranty doesn't cover rooting.
I have a database of data, describing connections between nodes. A single node can have any amount of connections.
How would I go about calculating the shortest route between two given nodes? Is there any fancy SQL trickery I can use?

Can I use recovery partitions if I install Linux on a Win8 pre-installed laptop, and then reinstall Win8 with embedded key? Google didn't give much thing.

so i rented a vps from ovh to host a minecraft server for my little sister
but when i connect to it i get i get kicked out with an error in about 10seks

Sticky says /g/ isn't for tech support requests, but that seems to be what half of these /sqt/ threads are, so here goes.
I have an external HDD reader/docking station (some obscure DeltaCo hardware) that I've been using for my new 2TB drive because I've been too lazy to open up my computer and install it properly. I finally got around to it, but my computer can't seem to read it now that it's actually in there. Taking it out and putting it back in the external reader works perfectly.
Is this a common issue? Is there any way to fix it other than moving everything to a different drive and formatting the 2TB drive the normal (internal) way?
The relevant HDD (pictured in the image) is ~99% full (~2TB), by the way.
>>51979414
This is from a German hardware tutorial. I've done it like that in the past, guess I've been doing it wrong all along.
>>51979435
By the looks of it, if it isn't completely corrupted you'll be lucky. I'm not sure for yours but I know some external docks have their own personal controllers that formats the drive in a way that is unreadable by Windows/your bios. If you formatted it internally you may have to reformat it to use it externally properly
>>51979435
Windows version? If it's 10 it's probably a device manager driver problem. Look it up on Google.
How should I partition my server in the Debian install?
LVM or not?

>>51979550
Why is (2^3)chan so superior?
>>51979479
>By the looks of it, if it isn't completely corrupted you'll be lucky.
Taking it out and using the dock works, so I guess
>some external docks have their own personal controllers that formats the drive in a way that is unreadable by Windows/your bios
is the reason.
>If you formatted it internally you may have to reformat it to use it externally properly
I assume you mean that the other way around.
That was pretty much my plan. I was hoping there'd be a better way since I don't have enough free space to move the data to while doing that.

I just got my new SSD and would like to try out Linux on it for everyday use since I don't game that much.
Problem is I need winblows for some GIS applications and since my PC is not that powerful I'd like to dual boot win7 and Mint.
What is the sensible course of action for this?
I installed OpenWrt on my router but I don't seem to be able to setup public key authentication. I did everything as described in the OpenWrt wiki, but when I try to login I get this message: "Agent admitted failure to sign using the key".

>>51979989
install gentoo, ofc
No, really, dual boot it.
I'm looking for an music library organizer for GNU/Linux to organize my mpd server's files.
It should be able to reorganize files, find metadata online, and copy the files to other disks (preferrably altering the names of files with fat-32 unsupported symbols).
File viewing would be nice as well, as long as the viewing is ncurses-based.
Does anything with these options exist? Or am I better off writing something myself?
>>51980008
I've heard it is pretty difficult get running and sadly I've been using windows all my life so I'd like to take baby steps to get into the whole linux thing.
I guess I could be more specific, do I install w7 first and then the linux distro or viceversa? How much space should I allocate for each one? do I have to do a manual partition or does the installation give me the tools to do so.
SSD is 120gb and should contain both OSs and a couple applications (5 GB estimated)

Guys, how do I retire my paypal money? let's say
>account name is john smith
>dont have bank account so I use my gf's account
>her name his jane doe
please help
>>51980869
shrinking windows will break it and the loader will complain about changed hardware .
I think the win installer have a basic disk partitioner so you can decide how much space before hand
>>51981092
How did you even link the bank to your paypal account with mismatching names?
jane dow can only withdraw money from bank
john smith can only use paypal money online
>>51981092
Transfer the money to her paypal
>>51981140
i dont get it, i linked her debit card and her bank account, still no sign of the deposit paypal does to check the account
>>51981177
if she doesn't have a paypal account i can just make one and send her the moneys?
>>51981104

I have a directory full of 600ish folders with jpgs in them
I want to batch convert these folders to zip format, how can I do this?
I can't just right click and compress them all because that will create a zip with a folder INSIDE it, and I want the zip to contain the jps in it with no directory inbetween
How can I do this
>>51981425
just create an archive, open it with 7zip and drag the files into the window
>>51981425
write a batch file that does this. how much programming do you know.
is there a chrome / firefox extension that allows me to save a youtube video as mp3 in as few clicks as possible? I know of youtube-mp3, but I've got a playlist of 1000+ songs I have to go though. Thanks
Im trying to install windows 7 on a server I got from a friend but it won't read any of the drives.
I did the whole "list disk" thing on the cmd prompt but none of the drives are coming up; "no drives found". The bios can read the drives, gparted can read them, and of course debian can read them too. Even after formatting the damn things to nstf windows 7 still couldn't read them on the install.
Any way to fix this shit?
>inb4 install gentoo, I need windows on this machine, no gnu.
>>51981443
But I want to make a seperate zip for EACH folder
essentially I want to replace each folder full of jpgs with a zip full of jpgs
>>51981452
I know how to batch convert files like a txt to a cfg
but I don't know how to do it with folders, because as far as I know they don;'t have a filetype the same way .exe's and .jpg's do
I'm not sure how to go about doing it
>>51981490
Use another computer to install on the drive, then put it back in the server

An easy solution is to get a bookmarklet link to offliberty.com (go to the site and youll see what I mean)

Alright, I downloaded it, installed it in Chrome, and now I can't check the box to enable it. I used to be able to add extensions like this before, but now I can't seem to get them working?
>>51981592
i have no idea about chrome, if you don't get it to work, use the userscript version with tampermonkey, if that still is a thing
>>51981526
make snapshots of your disk and your registry before you install anything
-try in a sandbox or a virtual machine
-just like you said be careful with the installers

Thanks for all the help, I found a crack copy of 4K Youtube to MP3 which allows me to download more than 25 videos in my playlist of 1500+ songs, so thanks.
>>51981685
youtube-dl already does this, and better, without needing a 'crack' that will likely infect you.
>>51981705
yeh, infect him with those sick beats hes gettin
>>51981584
>>51981685
you can feed a playlist to youtube-dl too.
there's not a single reason to use anything but this.
It's the best tool for this.
especially with DASH streaming, you can only download the audiostream, no need to download the video too.
>>51981177
I created an account and tried to tranfer the moneys but it wont let me, do I have to wait a day or something before sending money to a new account?
>>51981736
Alright then, how do I use youtube-dl?
I have a Rockboxed Sansa Clip Zip, love it to pieces.
However, during playback, there are occasionaly missed / skipped samples that are repeatable (rewind, recur). I assume it's a fault of the internal memory card. (Formated vfat / Fat32)
So my question is (using Linux) is there some way I can mark the bad places in the memory so as to not be used, or do I just have to live with the skips happening?

this how on linux :
to download the highest quality available
> youtube-dl {utube-video-link-here}
to see available streams for a video
> youtube-dl -F {utube-video-link-here}
to download a stream from above, note it's tag number then
> youtube-dl -f {tag-number} {utube-video-link}
you can combine streams like high quality audio with worst quality video
>youtube-dl -f {video-tag-number}+{audio-tag-number} {utube-video-link}
example
>youtube-dl -f 136+170 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4SduMb4moc
or simply
>youtube-dl -f 136+170 y4SduMb4moc
and much more can be done with playlists

>>51982097
try
>-f bestaudio
>>51982097
you pass -x for just audio and --audio-format "mp3" for mp3, on linux/osx this requires ffmpeg though. Idk how it is on Windows
>>51982097
https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/README.md#readme
-x, --extract-audio Convert video files to audio-only files
but as >>51982121 said -f bestaudio should work
>>51982152
ffmpeg is required when muxing (combining) audio with video and subtitles , downloading audio shouldn't require ffmpeg but idk how it is on windows either

How do people set their DPI settings or zoom levels on a 1440p screen?
I just got one and everything feels off. At 100% things are nice and sharp with plenty of space but text seems so small in web pages and such. Moving up to 125-150% makes the UI elements seem awfully large though. It also fucks up certain programs text scaling making it look fuzzy and awful.
>>51982819
1440p doesn't need scaling.
>>51982839
It's a 25" screen about 2 feet away. I can read the text perfectly fine and I like how many web tabs and such I can see at once, but text is smaller than I would really like and zooming pages tends to soften the text.
Maybe I just need to get used to it.

Well damn. The spindle drive ic is burnt and the like 1 replacement I've found is like 40$, and it's an old ass 160gb drive.
Also what do you mean by kill, like kill it scratch the platters all to shit kill?
>>51982960
I'd imagine you would have to dissect the whole drive to replace any part to it, and the moment you expose the platters to your filth the drive is dead

Explorer looks kind of silly with 12pt text on other screens but looks much better on the 1440p with custom font size.
Firefox is still an issue though. UI and all is fine, but page text is awfully small unless zoomed in and setting it to override web page CSS is likely going to cause other issues.
>>51983098
I was assuming so, but honestly I've never gone that far. If you have an exact replacement for just the PCB then I suppose you could try.
If you did open the drive up and put it back together it's not a matter if it will work, but how much of the drive is still readable.
>>51983155
Drive hasn't been opened, it's pcb is just toasted.
I wish the lady I'm doing this for had just told me she wanted files off it, she brought it in for another unrelated matter so I didn't think anything of it. Bastard was working fine for a full day, could have done it at any point but of course she only thinks of it when it's dead.

What's the best way to recover from DISKPART CLEAN'ing the wrong partition?
>>51983213
can it stream to an rtmp server
>>51983200
There is hardly anything wrong is having different size and PPI monitors when they are for different tasks, it can be a pain though.
Also the zoom and css are two different things. First off zooming into a page to make the text not seem super small resizes everything making it look like ass.
Change firefoxes default CSS options to force font settings while leaving zoom at 100% will instead break page layouts.
Are the differences between ddr3 and ddr3l ram negligible?

When it comes to drives replacing them when they fail is so much cheaper then it is to try and repair them. I do wish you the best of luck if you try and repair the drive.

I have a PC with Debian and a laptop with W10.
In that laptop I downloaded WMware Workstation and want to set up a VM that has access to the network but not to the internet.
i.e. my PC has a 192.168.1.47 address, my laptop a 192.168.1.32 address and want the VM to have a 192.168.1.X address so I can see it with my Debian PC.
I'd prefer if it didn't have access to the internet for security reasons.
Does Windows 10 purposely decide not to open up old applications that were built for ~ Windows XP era? I'm asking because I installed an older game but no matter what I do it won't launch at all.

Use NAT so it can communicate with your host and other devices, And remove the default gateway. It communicates with layer 2 (MAC address) removing the gateway prevents layer 3 packets from leaving the network
>>51983267
all i could find is a difference in the voltage they use
DDR3 = 1.5 Volts
DDR3L = 1.35 Volts
i guess the L stands for low voltage
and 0.15 Volts are not enough to cut your bill in half
What software do I use to open DICOM files in Arch?
>>51983487
>>51983267
I would had answered this but I didn't see it. Some laptops use DDR3L while other use DDR3. You cannot use either, your laptop needs the one it was made for. That's because of the voltage it uses.
>>51983485
I am using NAT, but ifconfig shows that it's using an IP outside the subnet ( 192.168.152.128 )
>>51983267
One of the only important differences is that some newer CPU's support DDR3L but not regular DDR3, and the reverse of that.

>>51983628
NAT gives VMware it's own private network that you can change in the Virtual Network Editor. NAT uses both onboard and wireless
If you used bridged, it would give VMware full control over your onboard/wireless and the VM wouldn't be able to communicate with the host (unless you give one wireless and one onboard or something)
The virtual router's IP address is 192.168.X.2 or whatever. Remove it from your network adapter in Debian, or set a static IP and don't include the DG
>>51983687
Possibly. Ironically I've seen HDDs kill PSUs before. One other idea I can suggest (you won't like this) Clean that PCB. Rinse and scrub it clean. Obviously it will need to completely dry (24 hours or so) before it can be powered on again, but I bet that will give you enough life to copy the files off the drive
I'm on the hunt for a cheap used laptop, sadly I know shit about which laptops are good.
It shoud run some Debian distro, some light GIS applications on wine, have 4gb RAM (expandable or not) and a 2.5" slot for an SSD would be highly appreciated but not a deal breaker.

>>51983909
Okay: Basic internet concepts.
Completely forget VMs for a second. Your router has one public IP address. when your laptop or other device inside your private 192.168 network communicate on the internet it's all seen as the same public router IP address.
Your VM is the same thing. VMware has a virtual router and its own private network.
Also I made a mistake. I thought the VM was Debian. Anywhere I said Debian replace with VM
>>51984004
I get that, but that's not what I want.
I don't want VMware to use it's private router.
I want that VM to get an IP from my router so that I can communicate with it using my Debian machine (not the host)

>>51984062
Then you have to use bridged. It'll get a DHCP IP from your router. But to disconnect the Internet and communicate with Debian you still have to set a static IP and remove the default gateway address. Also with bridged I don't know how well that's gonna play between your host and guest.

I've been reading about SSDs and power outages and it's made super paranoid about getting an SSD only to have it die on me if power goes out some day. It doesn't happen very often but I do use the PC a lot so it's super likely that I'm using it when power goes out. I wouldn't store any important data in the SSD anyway but I wouldn't want to lose the OS installation and all the programs and stuff
How big are the chances of catastrophic data loss or flatout SSD death? If the PC locks up for whatever reason and I have to do a hard reset, does that also damage the SSD?

>I want to dual-boot Linux to force myself to actually learn it. How would I go about doing this without deleting Windows as well?
By not dual booting at all. That's a bad idea that'll kill Windows. Use a VM (VMware). That way you can switch back to your host, Windows when you get stuck and cannot make something work.
How do I transfer files from a linux server to a windows pc? There are some files on a Debian 8 based server I'd like to back up to my desktop (windows 10). How do I do this? I only have ssh access to the server.
>>51984322
rsync, or setup an nfs share and access it on Windows
>I only have ssh access to the server
I'm assuming it's your server, otherwise this would be a really stupid question
>>51984322
use Filezilla on windows to connect to your server
>>51984319
I already have tried using a VM, I never actually learn anything because I'm still just using Windows with Linux occasionally thrown in as well. Hence why I want to dual-boot it.
>That's a bad idea that'll kill Windows
Which is why literally no one dual-boots anything. Obviously it's possible, why would it kill Windows?
>>51984393
Because GRUB replaces your Windows bootloader. The minute you remove Linux, you kill Windows. Or if you fuck up installing GRUB. I suppose the other anon was right, using Ubuntu and Unity. Ubuntu has a way of using the Windows bootloader (it just adds a boot entry and is easily removable)
>>51984393
because you don't know what you're doin is why it would kill windows, also if you don't use it in a vm then what makes you think you're gonna reboot to use it?

I don't know if it's like this on all lenovo laptops, or just newer ideapads, but if I am running Windows and want to install Linux and grub fucks up or for whatever reason I don't want a Windows entry in my bootloader, next to my power cable is a recessed emergency button that if I push it while the machine is powered off, it starts up with a menu with options to enter the bios, factory restore or view a boot menu. The boot menu lists every bootable OS installed on my machine. My current setup only shows arch in grub and I use the emergency button to boot windows when I need it. It has proved useful though, like when I installed deepin and its bootloader was all fuckery, i could still get back to Windows.
>>51984523

Separate root, var home and tmp.
LVM, use as small of partitions as you can, so you can grow when and where needed. Most filesystems let you grow online, so if it ends up being root or var filling up, just expand that as needed. You can pin lvs to specific pvs if you have something you want to relegate to a slower drive, or put on a faster drive.
LVM does have a performance hit, but it's not noticeable in practice.
So, i got for free a old HP desktop from a relative with a somewhat cool 1440x900 vga lcd monitor that apparently has no damage.

If DVI, identify which standard/version . If it doesn't have the 4 pins to the side, these adapters won't work. They're passive, and just redistribute the signal from those 4 pins to the vga pins.

Is it too early to upgrade to Skylake? For me, it would entail getting a new mobo, RAM, and CPU (maybe also a PSU).
I've tried both Windows 7 and 10, but everytime I try to install possble Intel drivers, they keep saying I don't have the minimum requirements for them, or that it can't find drivers for my product. Does anyone know why this could be happening? I have my GPU drivers installed, could that have any effect on HD Graphics not installing?

>what I am installing
I'm trying to install things that appear on the support page for the mobo, so stuff like HD Graphics, IME, Rapidshare, etc. Some of it works, some of it says I don't meet the requirements. The chipset drivers and the USB drivers seem to work completely. I'm ASSUMING I don't need Intel HD Graphics (this is my first Intel build), but I don't know if the special features for the processor come with the HD Graphics driver, or if they're separate (for example, QuickSync).
>dedicated GPU
Radeon R9 280. Windows keeps installing the drivers for it automatically. I don't know if I should mess with it or leave it alone.
>>51985957
the HD drivers are when you are using your CPUs integrated GPU, since you use a dedicated GPU you don't meet the requirements (no monitor plugged in/dedicated gpu present)
>rapidshare
also don't install everything, most of it is adware/bloatware.
>>51985867
It happens. It could be a bad slot, or one of the memory controllers on the chip died but those are really rare, and incredibly rare scenarios.
So, do you waste time and money getting another mobo to test if it's the slot, another CPU to see if it's the chip, or just accept the evidence before your eyes and the most likely scenario of it being the RAM died?

mmcblk is the name of your integrated memory card (MMC) , the equivalent of a laptop's HDD and that's what we need to mount
it has 17 partitons from p1 to p17

so you try
mount -o nosuid,ro,nodev -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard/unlock
cat /sdcard/unlock/mits/perso.txt
if cat complains about file doesn't exist you just unmout and try the next partition
umount /sdcard/unlock
this is harmless btw , cat and mount won't fuck up your phone if they fail
if you want a neat solution you can
cat /proc/emmc or cat /proc/partitions
this will display the name of each partition and you just need to use the partition with the name "system"

What's a good way of resetting your password? I heard something about iSunshare Password Genius or something, is that any good?
>>51986347
Worst case scenario is that you bent the clip holding the CPU. Best case scenario is that you bent the mounting arms holding the cooling block to the mounting screws.
is there a youtube downloader program that is better than the rest? I've been using youtube downloader for years, just curious if there's a better one out there
Shouldn't this thread be /wsr/ now?
>>51986386
youtube-dl
>>51986386
youtube-dl.
search in this thread for it, it has come up multiple times now.
>>51978423
bumping because OP is a faggot.
>>51986383
Nope, nothing is bent anywhere on the arms, heatsink, or near the cpu
If I happened to forget my iPhone password and email, how do I reset it to factory settings?
>>51986442
Double-check by taking the heatsink off and all the metal bits and inspecting them thoroughly. Something is definitely bent.
I'm looking for a way to run multiple "profiles" of an android game. I want to be able to farm daily login credits for an android game on multiple accounts. How would one achieve this?
>>51986482
add a second user to your android.

It has dvi-i, dvi-d, and hdmi. Which one will show the best quality through an adapter?
>>51986285
nvm, had to restart the computer after setting scale to 100
still, after looking at the shitty text for 10 minutes before, I can't read now, and am getting dizzy, fucking hell
>>51986509
Is there anyway I could do this on a
larger scale? I'm thinking of upwards of 100 accounts.
>>51986622
>100
why
>>51986622
>>51986666
Check'd
>>51986657
Because there are faggots on eBay that will pay a very pretty penny for what I can aquire with the farmed credits.
>>51986630
Are there any specific tutorials on how to do what I'm looking to do?
>>51978827
Switch your monitors anon its the only way. Kek
>>51986080
Ok, thank you.
I'll try this tomorrow since I have no time today, really apreciate it.
Is it safe to delete the windows.old folder in Windows 10?
>>51986811
yes, but then you can no longer roll back.
Recently switched over to a dual-monitor setup. Youtube videos stutter like hell when a game is fullscreen on the other monitor. Any known fixes?
>>51986567
if you're trying to use VGA then only dvi-i will work with passive adapters since HDMI and DVI-D are purely digital (btw. that D after dash stands for digital) and VGA is analog for wich DVI-I implements required signals for backward compatibility (what you need)
also, as other anon said, those adapters are expensive even at $5 price, they used to be bundled with graphics cards for free
is an upgrade from i7 920 to i7 6700 worth it/good investment? I won't be overclocking.
>>51986622
cool photo, chap
>>51986838
yes it is.
>>51986820
thats fine
cheers senpai
>>51986811
just do a clean install, go to settings and make a reset
I have currently Windows 8 but I think it's absolute shit. Should I downgrade to 7 or upgrade to 10?
>>51986903
10 is a lot better than 7.
>>51986903
upgrade, it's all the same shit now only in prettier coating and also lifetime™ support
>>51986930
>>51986937
Really? what about privacy?
I'm no tinfoilhat and I don't give a fuck what Microsoft does with anonymous info, as long it doesn't sell my personal info to ad companies.
>>51986903
too bad you don't like it, windows 8 is the last decent windows. may i ask what you don't like it or which features you are missing? please don't say metro or startmenu, because that is a non issue
>>51986969
they don't personalize, afaik
if they do, they do it on every windows from 7 to any upcoming versions, if they don't, they still spy on you anonymously from 7 to infinity
>>51986991
>they don't personalize
then why do they collect your name and contact data?
>>51987008
because you typed it in and made an online account instead of a local account.
>>51987008
to improve your Windows™ experience ;^)
>>51987025
you're missing the point. they obviously do personalize the data they collect.
>>51987039
but where would they get them in the first place?
I haven't typed in my name anywhere.
So, how do I find out if it is possible to get a second GPU in a motherboard I want to buy? What do I have to look for?
Please advise.
>>51987008
where did you get this from? all I can find about this is when signed up to the windows insider builds.
>>51986988
It's just "slow", you know what I mean? Lately I have issues like my WiFi not connecting immediately unless I do troubleshooting after sleep and the first time I log in after starting my laptop, it takes about a minute or 3 before it logs.
I ran AVG and adware scanners, found nothing.
I thought a format might fix it but while at it, why not up or downgrade?
otherwise, do you know what is causing this shit? my specs are okay I guess.

sounds like outdated drivers to me.
if you really can't fix it, use windows 7. 10 is pure evil
>>51987085
Interesting.
I've just skipped over the parts how they use the data, seems reasonable enough?
How else would they'd offer stuff like this.
Before I get confused, what's the best way to save Snapchat pictures and videos?
>>51987008
It's not that bad really, you can turn off about 90% of that. About content, it's only visible to Microsoft if you upload it on OneDrive.
Your image may be captured if you enter their retail stores by security cameras (duh).
Is this the privacy issue everyone is crying about?

PCI-e ports/slots
>>51987153
For Android?
>>51987135
retail stores are public places. my computer isn't
>>51987154
For the fear of sounding completely retarded, I have to ask - I need two slots and how many PCIE ports?
>>51987184
Exactly, that's why you're safe on your computer. It's like saying cameras are recording you in an Apple store, why are you surprised honestly?
It's not like Microsoft is taking a picture of yours associating it to your ID
>>51987236
>It's not like Microsoft is taking a picture of yours associating it to your ID
actually...
>>51987220
one GPU fits in one PCI-e slot, so you'd need at least two, but multi-gpu is always retarded, don't do it
>>51987262
Could you please elaborate on this? Doesn't SLI/Crossfire improve gaming experience? Please bare with me.
>>51986630
There are emulators and virtual machines.
Bluestacks is an emulator for example but i don't think it can help you botting since it is very resource greedy, you could try:
http://www.android-x86.org/download
run multiple VMs that run n accounts.
You could make a android botnet if you tryed hard enough.
>>51987277
diminishing returns
They improve, but paying 300-600$ for another GPU for shitty improvement in gaming is not worth it, if you have the money to do SLI or XFire then you have money to have a single powerful GPU every series nVidia or AMD shits out every year or two
Basically, it's better to buy 980Ti or 390X or something like that than buying 2x970 and similiar
>>51987277
If you run some insane simulator on a x2 FHD 32 inch CRTs then it is worth having 2 gpus.
>>51987254
I can't find anything in the article linking those together. Can you?
Does anyone know about freebsd/freenas and jails?
i have a deluge jail and a openvpn jail, i've read i need to make firewall rules to only allow deluge to route traffic through the openvpn jail, but how do i do this?
do i create the firewall rules on the host system instead of the jails or do i create rules for each jail? if so, which ones? i'm a little over my head here with firewall and routing. any help would really be appreciated
>>51987320
>>51987329
Thank you for the information.
But, for the sake of argument, would it not benefit me in some way, lets say in couple of years, to get another GPU (price drop and stuff) to upgrade?
Just trying to understand. Sorry if blatantly retarded questions.
>>51987411
As I've said, it's better to have a single powerful GPU than two underpowered GPU for the same price
You can even sell the single GPU when you don't need it anymore a lot easier than selling two mid tier GPUs
Maybe one day it will be possible to use SLI or Crossfire to it's bigger potential, but not now
Is there a difference between running an eGPU from thunderbolt or expresscard?
>>51987459
Thank you! So I just focus my attention on a single, but more powerful GPU right now.
If I could also trouble you with one more question:
Overclocking - I have a pair of RAM that is clocked at 2400MHz - do I ONLY need a motherboard that supports this high clock, or something else for it to work?
Thank you in advance.
>>51987510
not sure, I think the CPU also has to support it
You're thinking too much about this, either educate yourself by a lot of reading or just don't bother, because seriously, all of this is such a minimal performance gain, it's not worth the time doing/learning, if you have higher frequency RAM than motherboard supports, it will just run at lower frequency, you won't even feel the difference to be honest, as long as it's not DDR2 ram
>>51987581
Any chance you could point me in the right direction to read and learn about it? I mean, something that wouldn't be one fan spitting shit over other fan. Something unbiased, if it exists.

>>51987626
don't lurk /g/
save yourself some money and overclock used or lower tier hardware
if you like math-like stuff, get uni books for subjects such as operating systems, digital integrated circuits, C etc.
just dont play games, if you do have to, play things that allow you to host your server, write scripts, create addons etc.
dont lurk /g/
What is the cheapest, most bottom of the barrel LGA 1155 CPU (Sandy Bridge arch) I could buy?
I just upgraded from a Sandy Bridge to an Ivy Bridge 3750K on my motherboard, and, lo and behold, I just found out the BIOS needs a fucking upgrade to support Ivy. I had already sold my previous Sandy Bridge CPU I upgraded from.
Apparently you can't access the BIOS without a CPU, so I just need to buy the cheapest Sandy Bridge CPU to get the job done.
Scouring eBay right now... cheapest I can find is a $25 celeron G465. Is there anything even cheaper than that?
How big a USB needs to be for using it to install a OS like win 7?
4gb is enough?
Hey guys, so every night, I put my PC into sleep mode, and I've never had a problem. I just tried turning it on after getting home, and it's on, but I'm stuck at a black screen. I can see my mouse, but that's it. I'm typing this on my phone.

Current 8.1 that I installed on 10 machines is 3,63GB
Go for 8 to be sure
#include <stdio.h>
int power(int m, int n);
main()
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
printf("%d %d %d\n", i, power(2,i), power(-3,i));
return 0;
}
int power(int base, int n)
{
int i, p;
p = 1;
for (i = 1; i <= n; ++i)
p = p * base;
return p;
}
Why do we haveint power(int m, int n);
in the beggining?
>>51988484
4gb should be fine for windows 7
