oh god i died just now
I've got an 21:9 LG monitor right now, and got some money recently. I am considering buying a second screen for watching movies/browsing web. For what size should I be going for, considering that I don't want a surround setup?
I want to buy an 240GB SSD, what make would you go for /g/?
my phone basically refuses to load WebM's when I'm on wifi, despite getting nearly 10Mbps speeds, but it will load them fairly quickly on mobile network
My desktop and laptop load WebM's on the same network fine

How do I check where my Windows boot loader is?
>>52068474
I copied a movie over (it's one that I already watched on the har drive so I know it's good) and VLC says it can't play it. Also, I just checked the properties and it say the files is 0 mb, when it is actually around 2 GB.
>>52068509
maybe check OC reviews on the card
>>52068534
I love the 1200x1920 for portrait. Since you don't have to sidescroll. It's shit for movies though.
Honestly it depends on your taste. If you need something big for watching movies get something big.
>>52068551
Either get an 850 EVO or BX100. Both not super amazing, but fast enough, good value and warranty.
If you have plenty of money to spare obviously go for a more expensive drive, you won't see any benefits in real world applications though.
And I've been a hater on TLC for the longest time, but it's fine I have multiple VMs running on a 850 EVO in my server. (have backups of them obviously)
>>52068554
check the standard your router is broadcasting in. Maybe it supports something better. Did you check the network speed on the phone?
Is there anything special I should know when shopping for an amp?
Was thinking about pic related for run with two mb42x's I got for Christmas.
>>52068633
>Did you check the network speed on the phone?
Yea
What do you mean by router standard?
>>52068660
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11
but that's not likely to be the problem since your network speed is fine. What browser are you using? Have you reinstalled it? Have you checked in another browser?
>>52068638
Well it makes a difference, google reviews about it.
That crib is clearly not assembled properly, it's not even attached right on one side.
Is there some sort of device where I can stream what I'm playing on my PC to another TV in the house? Like a "wireless" HDMI cable so to speak, where I get a copy of what's happening on my monitor?
I'd like to open up a movie and be able to watch it in a another room in the house without a 500ft long cable.
>>52068708
Chrome, Chrome Dev, Firefox and I also tried to watch WebM's through the VLC app.
Nothing worked
>>52068604
in disk management look for these.
>>52068751
yea there are wireless HDMI kits, they're fairly cheap too
>>52068751
chromecast
>>52068751
Yes there is wireless HDMI, but you'd also want to control the output on the device on the couch wouldn't you?
There is also USB and HDMI over ethernet, which you can connect over Ethernet over AC.
But honestly it will be cheaper and much nicer to just get a Raspberry PI with Kodi and access the movies over SMB shares. Also you have the added benefits of just using a remote. Which would just slightly more expensive than HDMI over Wifi and give you a bunch of additional features and functions.

I need to create new monitor setup from scratch. I'll use it for movies first, programming / web second, games third.
From what I've seen on various /bst/ pictures, I think I would like a single 40 inch screen the best (Philips BDM4065UC seems like the only choice). Am I about to fall for a meme? Any suggestions on a better setup? 21:9? 3 x 27"?
I've never really had a high end Laptop, but on the Cheaper ones I did have the Battery would turn to shit within a year or two and soon after it wouldn't even last 2 or 3 hours.
Is this just a common thing that happens with Laptops? it seems to be in my experience and puts me off Laptops, but my experience isn't really all that much anyway
>>52070029
remove the hard disk with the data and take it with you.
because unless you have a hard disk and internet connection with +150MB/s speed you are not going to make it in a day.
Heck, you aren't even going to make it by copying from disk to disk in one day.
>>52070138
Imagine browsing the web or programming on a 40" 1080p screen. I would advise against using /bst/ as your basis for anything, those are just people trying to show off. Unless you're buying a television, 27" is probably the biggest you should get with monitors, just because of how close to them you are sitting. 21-23" is comfiest in my opinion, but everyoen has different tastes. I would recommend taking some measurements of your desk, then going to a store to see how big each monitor will be on your desk.
>>52070148
Good batteries are expensive so cheap laptops generally will not have good batteries. As a general rule though, maximum battery capacity will go down as your batteries get older.
What public torrenting sites aren't blocked yet in Britbongistan? Not really bothered about quality, 480p is fine by me. I'm just fed up of buffering.
>>52070163
You misunderstood. All i meant by "the next day" is that i don't need it backed up for a long time.

Why can't you record FULL HD/60FPS video on a given phone? I mean I tried multiple camera apps (opencamera and some othe shit) that had a 60 fps setting, and none of them actually worked. Theoretically, could it be solved by flashing a custom version of android on the phone? Do such android versions actually exist?
The phone in question is a Z1 btw, and I believe the hardware should be totally capable of doing it.
>>52070573
encoding 1080p at 60fps live isn't something that a phone is supposed to do, it has no encoder chip and the CPU is probably too slow for that.
>>52070567
It is definitely good enough for your need.
>>52070573
The CPU or storage might be too slow for it.
Should I use the pre-applied compound on my cpu cooler or should I clean it off and use the arctic silver in my drawer from last February?
How the fuck do I apply thermal paste. Everything I'm looking up has conflicting information.
>one guy says not to put much on
>watch another guy who says that you should spread it a little
>another video says spreading is a big fucking no no
>one site says you should use the CPU as quickly as possible so the heat can spread the paste
>another says this doesn't matter
>>52070607
>encoder chip
So phones generally use their encoder chips to encode shit, meaning it is a hardware issue, or are you just guessing around? Cause some phones are able to do it, hell, the Z2 can record 4K and it's just one generation newer than the Z1.
>>52070621
When I said it didn't work I actually meant that it did record video properly, it was just 30 fps according to my eyes and VLC, suggesting it is a software limitation.
>>52070214
Does Maximum Battery capacity go down significantly? I'm on a tablet at that moment and despite nearly 3 or 4 years the battery life is still pretty good. The Laptops would have gone to shit but I assume that isn't the case with the more expensive laptops and they'll remain good for a while?
So I want your opinion (I already asked Google) cause my little brother needs a new TV and my parents want to buy him some 32in trash branded TV (They are looking at a Sceptre).
1. Is a 48in TV too big if the room it is in only allows people to 7-8ft away from the TV? The TV would sit on top of a 3ft high TV stand and the user would be in a chair/bed at ground level. The TV would be used for Gaming/TV
2. Is Vizio still a good brand? I have a Vizio myself, and I am looking at a 48in E-Series for him. but I haven't been on the market for a new TV for awhile.
Google seems to say that they are still decent if you don't want anything special. He really doesn't need anything extravagant, but I will probably buy him a Smart version since it really is only $40 more.
So i got a new SSD since my old one was running out of space. I successfully copied the old drive to the new one, but when I boot I get an error that says "Boot mgr is missing." If I restart and go into BIOS I can see the new drive, choose to boot from it, and it boots up fine with all my old data intact. What do I need to do to get it to boot regularly?
>>52070396
Not a lawyer, but I'd imagine you own the program. If you manufacture a jet engine using proprietary alloys you bought from another company, it doesn't mean that company owns your engine.
>>52070713
Honestly you could do whatever the hell you want and it still would work. The temperature differences between the various methods is minimal, only a couple degrees C. I just use the dot because it's easy and I'm lazy.
>>52070753
It will eventually go down until the battery is no longer to hold a charge, but it varies depending on battery quality and usage. One of my phone's battery was useless (<4 hours of standby) after a year while the next stayed strong two and a half years later.
>>52070713
You don't want to put to much, the reason is that it can conduce heat to other components that are not the cpu dyes.
Spread it on the heatsink and the either spread on the cpu or use the pea method if the dye is square or line method if it's a rectangle. Use a small pea, as I said, you don't want thermal compound anywhere besides the dyes.
>>52070013
so would that be 2G or 3G speeds? I can deal with 3G but 2G really bites.
>>52070850
When you copied the data you did not copy the boot manager, which is a group of data typically located at the start of the drive that points to the specific operating systems' boot processes. You can either clone your old drive onto the new one and that will also copy the boot loader, or you can just reinstall it, which will vary based upon the operating systems you have installed on your computer.

I'm looking to buy a new graphics card, one that's as good as the 970(or r9 290) or better, should I buy one now for around $400? not really looking to spend above $500 on a graphics card, so I was wondering if I should wait for new cards to come out in 2016?
Just to be clear.
When a card has a fan that looks like this, it's a "reference" card, and that is a bad thing, right?

>>52072574
most of the time it's an exploit and very specific to the phone you have.
>>52072754
holy shit dude, you have no idea at all what you are doing, aren't you?
There's no overclocking at all with Xeons, since overclocking is a consumer feature and doesn't belong in anything Server.
Secondly since it's a dell server board you most likely need the original heatsinks, which sucks when you are not using it in a server case. So you will have to ghetto rig fans somehow to these heatsinks since they don't have one in a server case.
And no it's not standard ATX, you will be lucky if you find a few screws that match and find a fuckhuge case that is large enough. See the point with fans. Easiest way is to get rack mount case since that will cover CPU cooling as well, after you've found the heatsinks. Also it will be loud as fuck, so I hope you have some place where it won't drive you insane.
Lastly x5450 are a really bad idea, since they will gobble up electricity for no reason at all, you'd be much better off with a modern CPU or low power CPUs like the L5xxx.
You didn't even try to google any of this did you?

You don't sound like the person that should be rooting his phone.

If you have a Windows installation CD or USB you can boot in to that, then runbootrec /fixbootandbootrec /fixmbrfrom the command prompt and it will fix it, it is probably the only way to get the new disk working aside from reinstalling windows.
>>52073146
Yes, if you play games, else not really if you get a GOOD mouse.

i installed a program and it put a shortcut on my desktop, i can delete all the shortcuts on my desktop but the broken one that was put there by the program. when i try to rename it windows explorer crashes and i cant put it in the recycle bin at all
im about to install linux fuck wangblows
>>52073174
Which program?
>>52073094
It was originally in UK English when I first noticed the problem.
I want to root my phone but there is no documentation, I don't think anyone has yet.
Where do I go for help? I don't know a lot about phones.
>>52073180

>>52073191
>I don't know a lot about phones.
You probably should not be the one blazing this trail then.
Do you guys update your windows or not ? Also why ?
>>52073180
probably malware.
>>52073174
>hating on windows because of his own stupidity
Linux won't protect you from being a retard though. So you may want to reconsider. Besides there is the powershell exactly for cases like that.
>>52073201
press f5 on desktop
restart computer
restart explorer.exe
>>52073205
No, because it's pirated
>>52073204
Give up then? ;_;
I've rooted phones before following instructions, Is it that hard to figure out?
>>52073225
he can just Remove-Item in powershell though.
>>52073225
that worked anon thanks
>>52073265
Which one of the 3?
>>52073276

Shit mang i've seen a few of those x5450 in cpuz threads that were overclocked to 4ghz, I guess it only works if you make use of the lga775-771 mod. Fuck I knew it there would've been huge problems
I have to do the lga775-771 mod then
Someone tell me about the Toshiba x300 drives. I can only find reviews for the previous line.
I downloaded a bios update from the Asus website for my laptop (Asus Q550lf) But when I start to flash my bios it tells me it's not the right model. What do?
>>52073362
Lotta loyalty for a storage drive.
>>52073225
I cracked mine wiht KMSPico and i don't remember having any trouble updating
>>52073347
what are you trying to achieve anyway?
If you want it as a gaming platform you are better off with any modern CPU, even if you'd get them to run at 4 Ghz.
>>52073362
no idea, I just know if you go toshiba you want the MD-Drives (4TB, 5TB and 6TB)
>>52073388
then it's not the right model. Why do you want to update it anyway? Is something not working?
Hi senpai, I'm trying to write an app that connects to a python process and reads a single character.
http://pastebin.com/yun6tCqB here is my python and the function that gets called on a button press. the app crashes when I call this function. I'm relatively skilled with python, ok at android dev, and completely new to networks. pls send help :'(
>>52073479
You should go into a programming thread or something, your question is certainly not stupid and I doubt you will find an answer here.
>>52073440
>MD-Drives
what does this mean exactly? I was going to buy the 4TB one
>>52073205
Currently updating it right now.
Doing it because I fell for the Thinkpad meme and need a million drivers and 3DP is unable to fulfill my needs.
This is probably a stupid question but I guess that's the point of the thread. My pc has been overheating lately but nothing real big, I tried reapplying thermal paste the other day and now when I play games the pc has shut off due to heat. I think it's getting up to around 90. Did I fuck up? How can I make my pc less hot? Do I need to try reapplying the thermal paste again?.
Google has not helped at all.
This is idle temps too. Sometimes it'll get as low as 50 degrees and then shoot up to 80. I don't get it.
Does anyone know why the "new posts" number on the browser tab doesn't reset anymore when you scroll down to the bottom of the page?
Is this a deliberate change and is there a way of fixing it?
Pic related.
>>52073519
Like the 4TB name should be like:
>MD04ABA400V
>MD
They are awesome since they were developed by Hitachi (HGST) and have excellent reliability reputation and are really cheap (for what they are).
>>52073553
You are likely to have used too much thermal paste. You didn't use more than maximum two uncooked rice grains, did you?
>>52073557
I'd like to know two, a quick refresh solves that though. I think it's an issue with resizing your window, but I'm not entirely sure.
This is a switch in my house (US), and all the leads are the same color. Can anyone identify which wire corresponds to hot, ground, etc based on their position here? One was wrapped around the binding post (on the right), but not the other, which goes against all the information I've found online.

I did what a few videos said were a good idea, which was a pea shaped blob of paste in the middle of the cpu.

First time builder. I feel like I didn't do as well as I could have. I don't even know which case to get and I'm already pushing my budget. Any help would be appreciated.
My main use will be watching a lot of video. Light gaming (such as TF2) and potentially getting into random internet things like photoshooping.
>>52073440
>what are you trying to achieve anyway?
I want a cheap computer, but I want the best bang for the buck. I got my hopes up when I saw the server motherboard and how I could've got 16gb of ecc ddr2 ram for 24€ and 8 cores @3ghz for another 60€ and lost sight of the objective. Anyway I know a friend of mine full of lga 775 motherboards to throw around so I could get something very decent for less than 100€.
i recently bought a R9 380X. is there a way where i can use integrated and the card at the same time on two different monitors.
>>52073623
well these ones have HD instead of MD, but I believe they are the same thing
>>52073651
generally sound good. Did you clean everything with alcohol before reapplying?
And I'm talking cleaning so you could use the bottom of the heatsink as a mirror and read all the stuff on the CPU?
>>52073704
I can guarantee you that it won't be best bang for buck with the Xeons, especially with DDR2 in this day and age. Just don't do it. Especially for gaming single core performance is much more important.
See that you get a use i3 or i5 of pretty much every generation starting with sandy bridge. Also I think you will even get better performance with a Phenom II, which can be had dirt cheap on ebay or craigslist or whatever.
You have been warned, but do whatever floats your boat bro.
>>52073708
no but you can just get USB 3.0 display adapters if you really need the extra ports, but can't the 380X do like 6 screens on her own?
>>52073734
yeah then they are not the Hitachi ones, get the MD one, trust me. And if you don't trust me, trust backblaze (use google).
>>52073678
It's fine.
Especially when spending the extra 150$ on the intel build with M.2 and PCIe 3.0 and the like is out of the question.
>>52073813
I cleaned the CPU generally well but maybe not the heatsink. I'll try again later and see how it all turns out. Thanks.
>>52073678
also maybe consider the BX100 over the 850 EVO but that's just the TLC critic in me speaking.
Although I have an 850 EVO as well and am pretty satisfied with it and it has good warranty. But then it's not my only SSD.
>>52073848
you are welcome and it needs to be perfect. I once rubbed one for an actual hour (although I think that was a GPU) until it was perfect. You use the thermal paste to compensate for microscopic issues, there's no room for old junk somewhere in between CPU and heatsink.
>>52073388
I found it. Asus support website is a fucking disorganized mess. They have the N550lf drivers alongside the Q550lf drivers.
>>52073440
My laptop won't go to sleep or shutdown since I've installed windows 10. It the hard drive activity stops but the power and wifi stay on completely.
>>52073813
Well its the newest core duo architecture we're talking about, Penryn. It probably can compete with phenoms no problem and considering the cost of all the mod included cpu and 8gb of ram is around 80€ I dont think I can get better with that low money spending. Not putting a gtx 970 in this case but the cpu shouldn't be of much issue up to a 7870 or similar

There once was an encryption tool prefixed with 'true'
And since that's been through...
A successor named 'veracrypt', appeared out of the blue
One tool someone might consider to pursue
However, based on the 'true', was one with a different seal
Packaged and maintained for Linux, prefixed with 'real'
Nothing was known about the 'real' tool
Other than it being dependent on
The maintenance of the 'true' one, now gone
Tell me, then, those with wisdom on such a thing
To what do we owe its updates? Please sing
Is it now based on 'vera', or simply on its own?
Can it be trusted, or should one leave it alone?

They seem to be going for £114ish right now.
How is the Radeon 6670?
How does it perform with games like Skyrim or GGXRD?
I found one for $25, I think it's a good deal but I don't know about the quality of the card.
>>52074353
Xnview because you can cut the UI down to almost nothing and set the image to scale to the window if it is bigger than the window as the default behavior upon opening, something I couldn't figure out how to do with Honeyview. I haven't tried Infranview though.
>>52074353
I'm another anon, I prefer Honeyview because it has the option to hide its UI entirely and good hotkey support. Irfan is better for slideshows with lots of images though. Haven't tried Xnview.
>>52074244
Well then they know I am into Facesitting, but oh well.
What exactly should I be watching for here?
>>52074382
why don't you just google?
Off the top off my head I'd say it's pretty bad.
>6670
The 6 series was just a minor step up from the 5 series, so it's pretty old. The x6 series stands for super entry level and not much of a gaming card at all. The xx70 means it has properly slightly faster RAM and GPU frequency than the xx50.
Just FUCKING GOOGLE it. But I guess it can play skyrim without any details or mods.
>>52074393
>>52074413
Thanks anons, I've decided to try Honeyview as it seems like the most straightforward image viewer.

A couple thousand cycles or so. Just enough so the average consumer is more likely to lose it than to use it up. Don't use it as a temporary folder for torrents, or at least allow caching to reduce the number of write operations to a more adequate value.

I have an Asus n56vz, I put an ssd in it and replaced the cd drive with a mechanical. After installing win7 and then Debian I went back in to UEFI and set the default boot to the ssd but might have fucked up the Efi partition while installing Linux. Now my laptop doesn't even display the logo or seem like it's posting. The keyboard back light turns on for two seconds then shuts off. Pulled the battery for 30 minutes and pulled all the drives, neither did anything. Is there any way to fix this? Can't find the CMOS battery in the access panels and really don't want to take it apart to get to the other side of the motherboard. Short of flashing the BIOS, I have no idea what to try next.

if that works, go to bluetooth devices and dis-associate all bluetooth devices
then re-install your bluetooth drivers
