I have a P8Z77-V Pro, and lately, almost every time I turn it on, it first shuts itself down before bios, restarts and I get a message "New CPU detected, press F1 to setup". When I do so, I'm taken to BIOS, which I just exit and it boots normally. Any idea what it might be?
I don't think it's the CMOS battery since the time is correct. Should I update the BIOS?
>>52535480
do you press F10 and select "save changes" when exiting the bios?
>>52535504
Yes. In fact, that never happened before. It started happening on the last month or so (my CPU is almost 2 years old).
>>52535522

keep in mind modern operating systems tend to update the clock via the internet, so a good clock might not prove the battery is good

So uh, is it normal to have 6.4 out 8gb of my ram "usable"? Certainly doesn't seem like it, it's literally just fucking ram what could take up 1.6 gb on it? This is desktop ram and it is in the right dimm slots.
Why is my RAM only at 666mhz?
>>52535740

>>52535978
DDR means Double Data Rate
666MHz -> 1333MT

I don't know how, which is why i'm in this thread. Otherwise I would have a long time ago.
In C, I'm passing arguments using *argv[] in main. It's working for storing and performing calculations with regular numbers as longs, but for some reason negative numbers are stored as giant positive seemingly arbitrary numbers. What should I do to get to make the negative inputs properly store as longs?
>>52536000
Oh OK I thought my shit was running wrong but I'm just retarded. Thats a relief.
>>52535978

Well there you go.
Now I ask why the fuck you bought 1333mhz ram
>>52536028
Because it was cheap and I was poor and it was five years ago.

doesn't **argv store the arguments of your program in a string anyway? So just have to use the proper function like atoi(). That should work whatever the value positive or negative.
How do you do that currently ?
>>52535629
do you have a graphic card or you use an integrated GPU ? If you got a GPU, plug it on your GPU, else it won't work.

The question is :
Who the fuck would need a browser extension to check on all the threads of all the boards if there's one specific word ?
You. And ? no one else. That's how specific this is. And even if someone else wanted something like that, it would have to be a programmer to do it, and not everyone wants to learn and spend time doing this.
But if you know programming, even a little, just diy, that's not that hard.
looking for an analog audio mixer for at least 3 stereo channels. s/pdif inputs and/or headphone output would be a welcome bonus.
any suggestions?

I got an old psp from a friend and it has no charger.
The psp charges with "DC 5v -- 1.2a"
I found a charger with "DC 5.1v -- 2.2a"
Will the psp only draw the recommended amount of power or will that charger fuck it up?
Thank you for your time, I appreciate it.

>>52536344
oh and the mouse isn't lighting up either, I'm losing hope.
>>52536337
it's been awhile since I've done electronics shit but I believe the increased amperage will fry it. just hit bu ebay or something and find a psp charger
>>52536344
post pic of the back panel if you can and the inside of your computer, mostly to see if everything is connected. Or just check it yourself again. maybe you missed something, shit happens. One time it was my gpu that wasn't plugged completely.
>>52536337
amperage rating is a maximum for the power adapter, your psp will only draw what it needs.
>>52536337
volts are "pushed", amps are "pulled"
using a higher amp charger won't do shit, the psp will only draw what it needs
volts shouldn't be higher, but 5.1v is probably safe

the tl;dr is ~1000€
Basically, get a decent CPU (~250€ or more)
for the GPU get a GTX970, R9 390 or better

}
or do you really want this long type ? I tried the version you gave me and it didn't worked as expected.
I'll check what are the exact format for the long type. I don't remember, that I think that might be the bad format on the printf that makes it print a big number.
>>52536688
I'm checking right now.
>>52536688
it's a computer architecture problem:
negative numbers aren't really 'negative' on the machine
big positive numbers could also be regular negative numbers, it's all perspective
>>52536900
I have to use long for the calculations I'm putting this through, and yes, I noticed atoi only works properly with int. If I do long it gives me the big positive numbers again.

>>52536688
Okay that was pretty fast to check, I already knew what was wrong, but wanted to test before saying shit.int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
long inputChar;
inputChar = strtol(argv[2], NULL, 10);
printf("inputChar here is %ld\n", inputChar);
return 0;
}
you used %lu, which is only for unisgned long (%LongUnsigned I guess)
for the printf, here's the list. Just copy pasta somewherechar %c
int %d
long %ld
short %hd
float %f
double %f
long double %Lf
unsigned int %u
unsigned short %hu
unsigned long %lu
Is it ok to take my cat to the zoo?
I want him to see the tigers.
>>52537067
I'm not sure the zoo let you enter with your own animals.
>>52537067
if dogs are allowed, you should be ok.
>>52537067
Get some dark sunglasses, put a harness on the cat, and say it's your seeing-eye cat.
Also, be sure to comment on how much you're looking forward to seeing the tigers. Then correct yourself and say, "I mean *hearing*...".
>>52537018
Ah, thanks. That definitely fixed the printing problem. I still get weird results in my calculations, but I think I just have to check my other file (which is in assembly) to make sure the argument is passed to a register correctly.
>>52537067
did you somehow leash your cat?
>>52537078
but they allow children in all the time
so, here's the problem
both my Xbone and My PC are connected to my monitor through HDMI, which then runs to my receiver with one of those 3.5 to RCA adapters (currently a Vizio sound bar, but I have a better receiver downstairs). problem is, the Monitor outputs really shitty audio to the receiver, and it just sounds bad all around (playing music through my PC versus just straight plugging my MP3 player into it sound totally different0
so, would getting two of these-

Since we're talking about that, totally non related question to /g/ but a serious one.
Last year I went on a zoo, for the second time of my life (the first one I was a child and didn't remember at all), and I felt really bad for the animals and I just thought those places shouldn't exist.
People didn't respect anything, throwing papers and other trash on the floor, giving animals food (even if it is forbidden), using their camera with flash to take pictures of bats which of course is forbidden, etc. There was a lot of things that I didn't liked with this place. There was also the space those animals had, which I find too small (and all my friend thought the same things).
Are zoos actually a good thing and I just don't like zoos, or is it really a bad places for the animals ?
What I agree with is the concept of nature reserve, which permits the animal to live freely in the nature, without having humans looking at them on a small place where they can't have a normal life, but zoos ? I just find those places abominations.
So zoos : good or bad ?
Or maybe I went on a shitty zoos ?
>>52537349
Really depends on the place. There are a lot of decent ones out there, and there are a lot of shitty ones. I think in general the concept can be a good one.
>>52537390
This.
There are zoos that take in animals that can't go back into the wild, but when animals are bred in captivity, taken from their families and just sold to other zoos is fucked up.
>>52537440
What I don't like is how those animals are threaten in the zoos. I mean yeah sure you save them, but is it worth it in the end ? Seeing their lives I just find it sad.
>>52537242
what model is your receiver? does it have multiple hdmi ins? just connect the pc and xbox to the hdmi ins and then run the hdmi out to your tv
Are there any single-board computers that
1) Don't come with any ports installed, just port headers

rPi and co are nice but their bulky ports are restrictive if you're trying to prototype an end-user product and designing a board from scratch is overkill in earlier stages

Lately I've been having bad problems with GPU temps. Card is R9-390P-8256.
When watching videos anywhere besides youtube, temps climb higher and higher until they hit 60 degrees celsius or higher. Sites like Twitch or anime streaming sites, for example. Even after turning off hardware acceleration, both on firefox and on my computer's general internet settings, I still get this heat problem.
Furthermore, my GPU has climbed up to 75 degrees celsius under full load. Its idle temperature is apparently six degrees celsius higher than that of my friend's who has the exact same card.
I have nothing restricting the air flow to my card's fans. I have taken the top of my computer case off entirely and it still climbs in temperature. I confirmed that it is not the fault of my drivers, and there is no problem with dust.
Other factors which I worry may contribute-
>My computer is on a styrofoam block on the floor, but there is no fan on the bottom of the case, just an opening with a dust cover.
>My motherboard is a mini ITX.
>My GPU has two PCI-E slots; One is 8 pin, one is 6 pin. I was recommended to use both an 8 to 8 and an 8 to 4+2 connector separately instead of just using one 8 to 12+2+2 connector, and so I did as I was advised. Part of me worries that the card is getting too much power or some shit but at the same time I feel like that's impossible. I feel like a jackass.
I'll also answer any questions I can about this if it helps you guys help me with my problem.
I'm crazy and did a 2011-3 mini-itx.
the stock cooler (a dynatron, 60mm tall) is a little too tall to close the case.
is there a decent *really* low profile cooler that fits that socket? i'm thinking it will have to be under 55mm, and the Phanteks PH-TC90LS and the ID-Cooling IS-VC45 SFF are the only two that i can even find that seem to meet the criteria.

Help /g/ i tried installing Debian on my laptop. I thought I installed it correctly and everything but unfortunately, when it rebooted, it got stuck in a reboot loop. Now wenever I turn it on, it goes into a reboot loop showing me the bios select screen but the hotkeys that open the bios don't work. Help please /g/ you are my only hope
>>52537837
MB Air probably falls under "good enough", but:
1) It's focused on mobility, not power, so large projects will take longer to compile
2) 1440x900 at least isn't 1366x768 but it's still lackluster when it comes to screen real estate and if you use an IDE you're going to feel cramped all the time
3) HiDPI is definitely easier on the eyes. I went from a company-provided Air to a 15" rMBP I bought for myself and the rMBP causes far less eye strain.
I personally run my 15" rMBP in emulated 1920x1200 mode for all of the screen real estate and everything on screen is very sharp and readable.

If you're really wanting thin, Coolermaster also makes 11mm thick 120mm fans. However, I think those are airflow optimized and not static pressure optimized.

The answer depends on if you're a vegan or not.
Here's my opinion: Those animals have better living conditions than most people on the planet, whether they have freedom or not. They don't have to worry about food, safety, or dwellings. Even if they were running around in their actual habitat, they , at least the sentient animals, wouldn't have the time to enjoy themselves because, you know, the whole "eat or be eaten" thing.
I have a cURL request I need to send in a script. It has 5 form data items. Sometimes all five will have content (e.g. -F"x=123"/ -F"x=$xData") but sometimes they will have none (e.g. -F"y=" / yData=""; -F"y=$yData")

Question regarding hard drive care. I have a laptop with an msata ssd an a normal hard drive, I rarely acces the hard drive, only when I listen music so it sits idle for the most part.
Whats better for it, to leave it on all the time or to put it to sleep as soon as its not used? I heard startups are stressful in particular for the spindle motor but I also leave my computer on for days, sometimes weeks.
>>52538525
I would say it depends how often you turn the music on and off. If you think you keep turning the music on and off then you will have to wait for the disk to spin up each time you start the song again. Whihc isn't very long. I would say it would it be good for power, I guess it makes sense it would extend it's life too.
whats the easiest way via windows to get files off a EXT4 partition?

I'm trying to install Linux mint with windows 10,I have windows ten running in uefi mode and Linux mint running legacy (network boot apparently). how do I get them running with grub on the same boot order?

>Zoos are shit and should not exist.
As >>52537390 said. Many of the animals in zoos can't live in the wild, were found sick and dying and brought to a zoo, or they're part of breeding programs to try and bolster the wild population. See the California Condor as an example of a successful breeding program. Or say a tiger kills someone Malaysia. You either have to kill the animal so it doesn't teach its young to hunt humans, or send it to a zoo. Not all the animals fall into those categories, but a lot of the big animals people complain most about have some disability that isn't outwardly obvious which would preclude their survival in the wild.
>>52538772
don't forget poachers. for some species zoos provide the only truly safe havens in the world.
>>52538753
then you should definitely spin down disks you dont need on all the time, like the music ones.

if your tv and receiver have optical audio out/input, that'd be a much cheaper option (just a simple cable)
optical audio is digital, so the sound should be fine (not susceptible to crappy DACs), though it's still being converted from hdmi audio, so i can't gaurantee it will do it properly
otherwise what you posted will do

I'm stuck between deciding if I should get 4 or 8 gigs of ram in my new laptop.
I'll be using it for:
Light gaming, University work, streaming media, skype, etc and other low end applications.
Would a 100 dollar jump in price be worth the 8gb and the future proofing that comes with it?
>>52539031
If windows, absolutely.
>>52539031
>:
8 gigs is better. You can't just buy the 4gb laptop then install an extra 4gb stick? A 4 gb stick of ddr3 ram costs $20 these days.
>>52539031
You can get a 16gb kit online for $80. Do that.
>>52539029
Do I have to have unreal downloaded as well?
>>52539025
Fuck off pejeet
>>52539031
>100 dollar jump in price
What? Im going to assume youre buying it new, if possible get it with a single 4gb stick and get the other later, if they insist on 2x2 then get the lowest option and upgrade later.
And yes, with software becoming more bloated all the time youre going to need the 8gb eventually, but you can get by with 4 for light usage.
>>52539088
What? I just asked if I could change it later.
>>52539083

Choose something you can replace the ram on.
>>52539129
Well if youre using it for low end stuff I think 4gb should be ok, not worth the extra 100$

Let's say there's this magical library called 'ExtJS' released under the GNU GPLv3.
Let's say I've been paid a bunch of money to write a web-app for company x, and I want to use ExtJS in my webapp.
If I understand the GPL correctly, because ExtJS is GPL code, I have to also release my webapp under the GNU GPLv3. Which guarantees my client all their rights and such to the code.
I have to release my webapp's source code to my client.
But once my client has it, they are not bound to release the source code, correct?
Meaning if they want things super private, and want to keep the webapp and all its code private, they can do this, correct?

Hello /g/ I'm interested in some technical help. I have roughly 500 photos that I've scanned through from film strips into png images. I have 14 images on each strip that is each a photo placed in irregular ways. Is it possible to "crop" each of the 14 images out of the bigger photo? I think if there's no pattern to it I have to crop them individually right?
>>52540128
Look into scripting something in gimp and photoshop if the pattern is the same (Or there's a pattern of patterns).

It's got a Q6600, 2gb ddr2 RAM (which will be upgraded to 4), and it's going to have a ssd for storage/boot. Where I'm stuck at is the power supply, its only 300 watts. I need a new gpu for it, so I'm stuck between the 750 to ($180 cdn +tax), and the 730 ($85 cdn +tax). Which one should I buy, considering the PSU is a max of 300 watts?

I'm just gonna build a new PC in a couple of years. This is just to ride with until then. The case is very poorly designed with almost no room for anything else. Airflow would also be a problem with a bigger card taking up so much room (if it fits). Honestly, it wouldn't be worth it at that point. I appreciate the help though. Thank you, kind anon.
In your opinion, knowing everything you know about the PC I have, which would you pick?
Here's a breakdown of everything:
CPU=Q6600 =110 watts
SSD=Samsung 850 Evo =~2 watts
Memory=2x4gb ddr2 =~ 10 watts (give or take some)
GPU currently=nvidia gtx 7350LE =~ at watts
Not too sure in how much the motherboard uses, but I'd say somewhere between 50-75 watts seems about right.
PSU=300 watts.
Which should I pick? 750 ti, or the 730?
BTW, I'm going to be gaming on a 1366x768 monitor, so that's the resolution I'm working with.
>>52540484
To add, there's a $100 price difference between the two cards. I'm not exactly rolling in cash right now, so it would have to be worth the extra money. Would any anon say the 750ti is $100 better than the 730?

The 6p is better than the 5x, no doubt, bit its also big. Huge, even. I'd go check it out in person, its insane.
Both phones have issues that you need to watch for if you're buying. The 6p has a pretty bad one, in that it bends and breaks easily (compared to other phones). The 5x has huge stutters and bugs, and has a worse screen.
With all that said, looking at it just specs wise, the 6p is the much better phone. Hope I helped somewhat.

Well damn.
I've been using Debian GNU/Linux for about three weeks without dual booting to Windows at all. My browser is Iceweasel and I haven't had any problems besides a previously minor problem when opening youtube video it would sometimes randomly cause Iceweasel to completely crash and close without a single error message. At first I thought it was just a bug or something.
Yesterday the problem has started to happen with all youtube videos. I've even tried using mpv to open the links but mpv won't even start. mpv won't even start when opening video files from my hard drive (but VLC works fine). I tried restarting several times. Chromium does not have this problem, but I do not want to use it as Firefox/Iceweasel offers more customization and is more familiar to me.
What's causing the problem?
>>52542234
Run Firefox from the terminal, load up a video that crashes, then post the output here.

How hard would it be to hack a system that you have no idea on how it works and have no data on it ?

The x265 output has random colourloss/artefacts and the audio is out of sync and even just plain stopped encoding after a bit.

No, it's a standard for data, saying things like at bit X we will start transmitting Y data.
