I've never overclocked my computer before. I own an i5 3570k, and from my understanding k chips were made to be overclocked.
Is it an easy process by just using BIOS when I start my computer?
>>52298281
Sure
>>52298202

>>52298281
yes, look up a guide on google.
>>52298202

>>52298202
I'm not >>52282050 but it's probably worth pointing out what SICP is. It was (I don't think it still is) MIT's programming 101 (although MIT has wonky course numbers) textbook written by the professor for same. The code examples are in Scheme, a dialect of Lisp(inb4 that one guy who always shits up threads about argument over wether scheme is a lisp or not, it fucking is) although it's widely considered to teach fundamentals largely divorced from the language. It's an excellent book but it's more of an introduction to programming and the culture around same than anything else.
It doesn't cover web frameworks (or really anything to do with the web in any direct way) or design patterns at all, and that's part of why it's a well loved book. Web frameworks are, almost by definition, walled gardens so the way you learn about them is by reading a specific framework's documentation, some documentation is better than others. We don't have a very good common language for talking about frameworks since they've taken a whole spread of ideologies around the problems they try to solve.
The term "pattern" is used in two ways. One just means a general way of doing something, so we might say something like "modules are a useful pattern" or something. The other is something that comes largely from the OOP world and means something (usually objects) that fulfill a set of criteria (the most famous pattern, the singleton, is an object that can only be instantiated once for example). The canonical book on this kind of pattern is Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software, usually referred to as "the gang of four" after the authors. You don't need patterns or frameworks to do web development but both these things are deeply engrained in the culture so you will need them at the point you start collaborating with other programmers.
>>52298281
Depends on your mobo, if you want to go that route, some BIOSes will have an option to increase the clock speed and voltage. However keep in mind the temperatures, using a stock cooler is not reccomended for overclocking at all. Also, overclocking can cause warranty void.
>>52298202
Should I go with Skylake or Haswell for my new build?
>>52298377
Skylake
Computer turning off consistently during gaming. HWMoniter says max 55c per core so its not overheating.

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/265056-29-2600k-2500k-overclocking-guide
I found this after some searching. Are all these programs necessary to monitor my computer?
>>52298357
Pic related is my motherboard.
Would it have been more difficult to overclock if I was using an i5 3570 instead?
>>52298250
>>52298432
What about GPU temps?
>>52298441
>Are all these programs necessary to monitor my computer?
yes. after overclocking you will need these programs to check the system stability and the temperatures under full load, to prevent bluescreens and hardware damage. always start low and slowly increase clockspeed, stay away from voltage for now.
>>52298385
Can you expound a bit? The last time this topic came up it seemed like the consensus was that Skylake isn't worth it.
>>52298281
Look up your processor, should be able to find an overclock thread on some forum, hopefully with a spreadsheet of members' settings. On the easy end it's basically increase clock speed, stress test, if it fails increase voltage and try again. But again, check ranges of clocks and voltages for your specific chip. The goal is fastest clock with lowest voltage and passing a stress test (I prefer AIDA64's stress test). Don't expect much if any overclocking on stock coolers.
>>52298521
Performance wise there's practically no difference between the two. The only reason I recommend Skylake is because latest is greatest. No reason to buy outdated tech
>>52298496
around the same
how do i uninstall or upgrade the bootloader on my computer?
>>52298552

is there a way to play with the main memory on my computer so that it doesnt go to the booting sequence when i power it on? could i make the memory point directly to my OS?
>>52298600
Install grub/syslinux/rEFInd or any other bootloader.
>>52298682
>Is there a way to prevent my motherboard from loading bootstrap to check for hardware faults and cause irreversible damage to my computer, all so I could save five seconds of boot time?
You're an idiot
>>52298432
Your PSU is dying.
>>52298657
Typically yes, but the latest versions of Prime95 can kill overclocked CPUs. Make sure you're not overvolted too far.
Aida64 is better, but paid for.

A bad idea is a bad idea no matter how you look at it
My GPU is idling at 50°C, and spikes up to past 100°C any time anything graphics-intensive is on the screen.
Should I open it to replace thermal paste and clean it, or is this something that can't be fixed unless I get a new one?
It's a two years old ZOTAC GTX760, never opened it, so it shouldn't have this kind of difficulty playing games.
>>52298837
I thought chromecast was strictly for android stuff, unless you're suggesting an android app that plays a video from the server then pushes it to the chromecast.
Does such a thing exist? Only video app I've used is mx player and I don't think it has DLNA support.
>>52296252
Re-asking the BD copying question.
>>52298870
For a PC Chromecast only stream video services like Netflix, on an Android device you can stream videos saved on your device. I just got a Chromecast today and have been surprised by it many times. There are also alternative "ripoffs" that may allow file streaming whereas CC does not
>>52298837
chromecast is kinda limited for what it is isn't it? I think he'd be better off getting a box/stick that supports kodi
>>52298202
Do any of you guys compress old files to save space? My server is starting to run short on space, and I'm thinking of compressing some shit instead of deleting it.
Yes, I know I'm a hoarder.
what happens if the motherboard touches the case?
>>52298862
Over 90C is bad. Changing thermal paste doesn't really benefit a GPU that much, like maybe 5C at most. It more about proper airflow and maintenance
>>52298921
That's an even better idea
>>52298870
First thing I thought of was my Chromecast, this is probably a better idea
>>52298951
It's grounded
>>52298862
Idle temps are fine, just the 100 C is troubling. Yeah you might need to get a new card
>>52298924
the problem is that most files that take up a lot of space, like music, video, and so on, are already compressed, and there isn't much, if anything, more to be gained there.
What I need is a distro to watch Amazon Prime on Chrome.
I could just spin up some standard distro but I was wondering if there is a lightweight distro just focusing on internet use? (browser and necessary media stuff like codecs?)

Would my CPU or mobo bottleneck a current-day high budget card?
My cpu is high tier, and I read online that mobos are almost never actually capable of bottlenecking, but I built this PC 5 years ago and the only piece that changed is the GPU, so I'm worried a new one might be held back.
>>52298924
I compress mine for organization, instead of a bunch of random old files that are everywhere it's all inside folder structure in a 7z for organization. Off topic but an answer
Reposting from last thread. Building a server (mostly for Plex/streaming and backup). I have an extra case/mobo but they're pretty large (it's a Corsair Vengeance c70). Would a mini itx case/mobo be alright for a server? I like the small form factor, but I don't know if that would be okay for server usage.
>>52298958

wtf happened to my distro? I installed kali linux on a partition -- no problems there. I was running the distro fine and shut down my PC, but when I turned it back on, my GUI (desktop if you will) would not load. It was literally like MSDOS all over again. It just gave me a black screen and allowed me to give terminal commands. I tried messing around with the .init files but I could never get my desktop to come back. I had to format the drive to get it running my main OS again. What caused this?

Are the temps too high? If not, thermal paste is fine. Its also called the silicon lottery for a reason, not every chip is created the same. You may need to boost your volts if you insist on keeping that overclock.

In Virginia, that dude would have been shot as soon as someone saw him running with the bag.
If you got a beard, a bag, and a turban on in the South, someone is thinking about shooting you.
i dont have the specs needed for the oculus rift
now these specs they want will be to render games right? pre-rendered videos should be no problem, right?
so i could get away with an i5 4460 and a radeon r9 380 4gb if it's prerendered video or am i just being retarded
>>52302167
I would assume this would work. I mean pre rendered video works fine on my G4 with Google Cardboard.
>>52302185
what google cardboard did you get? I've got a g4 too and want to get one that fits fine
Why does GTX 780ti cost 7x as much as 750ti, and 4x as much as 960? Why is 780ti equivalent or better than 970? I thought bigger number meant better card?
>>52301416
Sweet. That's what I thought (same case with phone, GoPro, various RC gear I have), just unsure as you never know if HP are doing some sort of stupid fuckery.
Thanks anon.
how do I convince my retarded tin foil faggot friend to turn his javascript back on, he thinks it steals his information and shit
>>52302386
I can't answer your specific question, but the numbering doesn't work quite like that.
The first number is sort of the card series or architecture.
The next two numbers are sort of the level within that series. A 980 is more powerful than a 970.
But then things get fucky, because they might update the previous architecture and a 780 might be more powerful than a 960.
>>52302386
Different generations. Generally, each new generation tier similar performance to the next higher tier of the previous generation (but not always).
760 -> 950
770 -> 960
780 -> 970
780Ti - >980
And so on.
Next week I'm going back into college to attempt to learn programming once more. Now I don't need any ">college" bullshit. Since I'll be moving around a lot, I'll need something mobile. I was thinking of just trying to buy a cheap laptop, but I've recently seen these Raspberry Pi computers.
Are the RP computers any good? Will they benefit me enough for the mobile movement and good enough for some basic programming? Or should I just go with a laptop?
>>52302454
Explain to him what steals his information and what doesn't.
Use something like NoScript or uMatrix
Anyone here using firefox mobile? It is really slow on my g4...
How do I get rid of this?
I got rid of my CD drive on my laptop and replaced it with a second HDD. This happens whenever I boot up from sleep and it occasionally ejects itself as well.
How come when I middle click on firefox now it doesnt open the last closed tab?
>>52302523
Not for what you want them to do. Get a laptop or decent tablet running Windows (or *nix).
I've had this HDD for like 3 years now. I got it back when that flooding happened and HDDs where really expensive.
Sometimes when it transfers files it makes a lot of noise.
Is it fucked?
How do I do a SMART check on an external USB on linux?
>>52298350
I bet it smells delicious
>>52302167
Spot on. If your PC can play it on a regular monitor, it can play it on the Rift.
>>52302523
They're mainly for side projects and 12 year-olds.
An RPi is ok for running code but not for coding on it.
If you want something nice for your wallet, get a second hand thinkpad
>>52297713
Depending on your programming language of choice you might wanna go with *nix vs windows,

>>52302546
It shouldn't. It should open that scroll pointer thing.
I need to connect some outdated composite cables to my computer/monitor even though they no longer use this outdated shit(I don't own a TV).
Is there anything like a composite -> USB thingamagig that with drivers would allow me to just throw up the video stream in a window/media player on my PC? Because anything of that nature would be so much better than a converter box for some other outdated shit like VGA.
>>52302598

I don't think broswers generally come with MIDI decoding plugins. I.E., you don't.
>>52302550
Thanks anon, I'll just see what laptops are available these days.
>>52302598
I've never really trusted buying second handed hardware. Will I be safe buying a used thinkpad? Don't know too much on them. From the thread I take it they are usually business laptops, so I can seem them having less wear than personal laptops.
I know the class will have us starting with Java.
>>52302501
>>52302516
So what you're saying is, the 780ti is NVidia pushing the 700 architecture to it's limit, while the 960 is them fucking around with the 900 architecture? Okay, makes sense. Also, why did NVidia skip 800s?
>>52302633
they used to
>>52302542
>I got rid of my CD drive on my laptop and replaced it with a second HDD
Haha fuck I might see if I can do this, but with a Meme State Drive.
>>52302633
i could before, but then i got a new computer and now i can't.
>>52302668
It wasn't very difficult, I have a T420 but I think that may be a bit more customizable than most consumer laptops. Look up your individual laptop and I'm sure someone has done it!

This isnt true. I stream dnla stuff from my nas all the time. Use LocalCast app. ffs /g/

Come on now
puts "Give me strings"
user_input = gets.chomp.downcase!
if user_input.include? "s"
puts user_input
else
puts "No s here boss"
end
Why does this spit out an error if the string doesn't contain an S? Shouldn't it execute the else? Complete Ruby noob here, and best I can tell it should work the way I think it does.
Finally decided to get Windows 10.
Should I get the LTSB version?
From what I understand, it doesn't come with the "metro apps" and only gets security patches, with features only coming in yearly. Sounds good to me but I don't want to fall into any traps.
Also, best place to download the .iso?
>>52298487
And the keks keep coming.
Is it safe to download from slimroms.net? I really want the old 4.4 releases for my moto g
>>52298202
My sister was doing this once, but sitting on a bed post.
I masturbated furiously after watching my sisters ass swallow a bed post.

You should definitely replace the thermal paste.
I had the exact same issue with a GTX 670 I bought off eBay. As soon as I ran a bench mark it went above 100C.
After I changed the thermal paste, it maxed out at ~70C.
What's a good cheap ips monitor? I'm lookin for something around $100-$200 preferably above 20 inches.
I have a stupid question.
The only thing(s) keeping me from going from Windows 10 to a Linux distro is these things.
1. I do enjoy gaming
1a. If someone can link a wiki on how to do a passthrough from Linux to Windows VM so I can still game, I would be grateful
2. I schedule my downloads for nighttime
2a. Again, if someone would like something like Internet Download Manager that works for Linux, again, I would be grateful.

Is there a tutorial anywhere on how to debloat cyanogenmod so google can't read my every SMS and track my every movement? Or is this just the price I pay for owning an android?
>>52302664
>So what you're saying is, the 780ti is NVidia pushing the 700 architecture to it's limit, while the 960 is them fucking around with the 900 architecture?
As far as I'm aware, that's the case.
>why did NVidia skip 800s
I have absolutely no idea.
http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/anton-shilov/nvidia-to-skip-geforce-gtx-800-series-to-introduce-geforce-gtx-970-gtx-980-in-mid-september/
>Although it was expected that Nvidia Corp. would release its new GeForce GTX 800-series graphics cards for desktops this September and October, the company has decided to skip the GeForce 800 family for desktop PCs and jump straight to the GeForce 900 line of products.
It says "for desktop PCs", so maybe there were 8xx GPUs for notebooks or game systems?
How can I tell Firefox not to use my VPN?
I got CyberGhost to unblock Netflix in a Chrome window but all its IP addresses are banned from every single other website I use. Changing the settings > advanced > network option to No Proxy doesn't help

Get the SysInternals package and run... ProcMon, I think? One of the SysInternals tools let you search for handles. In the search box, put in whatever the path is, and it will tell you what program is using it.
>>52303539
If you google around, there's a thing you can use to build cyanogenmod with the google analytics removed.
My G3 refuses to be recognized when I plug it into any computer via USB, even after a factory reset. Is there something I could have fucked up while going on a root-induced power trip, or is that exclusively a driver problem on my computer's end?
>>52303764
try on another computer.
>>52303772
It connects to my laptop. Must have fucked up the drivers on my desktop. Uninstalling from Device Manager and reinstalling by plugging it back in somehow fixed it when the same didn't work before.
Must have been the factory reset, or I'm just tech-illiterate.
Thanks for the reminder, anon.

I have taken 0 steps beyond installing it and i use the default password it generated. How can i make it more secure? can i make it LAN only?
>>52304263
Depends on two things. If the mains in your house is old as fuck, as in made before the 60s, it will probably not be as good as a solid modern dual band router. If your house was built since then or especially in the last decade, then it will be better.
If your house is large you might want to invest in a Pico station instead of slapping powerline adapters everywhere. I installed one in a chapel as an ISP and had 2 bars of signal down the block. It's an affordable powered (PoE) wifi antenna that supports dual band

How do I decrypt a m3u8 .ts segment with openssl?
I can do it with ffmpeg but I want to try with openssl. I can download the encrypted .ts segment and the key file and then I can make a m3u8 file pointing to the segment and the key and do ffmpeg -i localfile.m3u8 -c copy decryptedfile.ts and it will decrypt the file but I want to try with openssl
i tried
openssl aes-128-cbc -d -in encryptedSegment.ts -out decryptedSegment.ts -kfile keyfile.key

If it helps the laptop is an asus X550LN running windows 7 with the most recent updates. I'm really not sure how to fix this.
Thanks for any help again.
