I'm going to dualboot Arch on my Macbook pro, which I've done before but there are some remnants of some other distros, like Ubuntu and Arch, on my rEFInd menu. How do I get rid of these remnants? It's the Ubuntu icon and the 2 penguins.
I'm tired of using the Facebook app on my phone (Android user). But I'm pretty active on the site and always look at notifications the second they pop up. Is there a way to use any of the webpage apps and still have notifications for Facebook arrive immediately?
Any launcher on Android that lets you hide everything and give absolute control? Every one I download has this forced stuff on the apps section, like dividing them in Games - Other at the top, or some integrated app store icon at the botom. I want nothing but the icons on the app part.

What? Nova or Apex should let you remove everything. I have Apex, the only categories by default are Apps and Widgets. I think you can remove/hide widgets. Give a screenshot so we can see exactly what you want to remove.
If you need the SUPER rice the shit out of your phone, check Lighting Launcher. Paid but you can do basically any setup with it.

I've got this game running and it appears to max out my pagefile for whatever reason without maxing out my RAM first. I was under the impression that the Windows page file was for when your system was out of physical RAM to use. I have 32GB of RAM in my build, yet Verdun seems to only use about 7.5GB according to MSI Afterburner's charts.
It's worth noting that my Windows pagefile is set to only be 1GB, so I'm not certain why my pagefile usage is showing as 4GB-10GB in MSI Afterburner. The pagefile.sys file in my C:/ drive is 1GB in size.
Any insights are appreciated.

Dumbass here, sorry to be a pain. My sister's laptop came pre-installed with Win 10 on it and I'm trying to boot a pirated Win 7 installation iso, but it won't let me go through with the installation. I won't be a jackass and ask for someone for instructions, I just want to know whether Win 10 automatically corrupts pirated Win files so that this method won't work or if I'm just fucking something else up. I haven't had this problem before and it's doing my head in, please help me.
Is there a way to make a monitor vertical (without it being all wobbly) when you have a monitor meant to be horizontal? And without a wall mount preferably. I have an ASUS VX238.

this is kind of ridiculous but tldr its more convenient for me now to take the pic with my laptop camera anyway you can see those 2 tabs at the top and those 4 icons at the bottom. i want none of that so yeah maximum rice though my phone is really old like stuck in gingerbread still can lighting launcher hide this

>gingerbread
Oh that's a bit old now. Most launchers should be able to hide that. I just tried on Apex and there's an option for it, I went to Apex Settings > Drawer Settings > Drawer tab style. I'm surprised the launchers you found have that extra garbage.
Lightning Launcher can probably do it but other free launchers should be able to as well. I don't know if Apex will run very well on a Gingerbread device.

i shoot 1080p but i want something that can handle all the effects, also going to be using it for music production
>>52985842
>>52986103
There's no way to be certain. We can look at current and up in coming resolutions (4k and 8k) and blurays have enough space to support both of those.
I'd say you have give or take 10 years before a new format is even considered.
>>52986124
What are you specifically editing? If you're just some new youtuber I'd say hold off on blowing 2k unless you really want to spend that much.
The 6600k would be just fine and would knock some cost off of the final total.
Your rig in general is overkill for 1080p editing.
>>52986068
I have 4 partitions, but 1 of them is OS X, 1 is free space going to Arch, and one of them is my recovery partition, but its untitled so I don't know which of the 2 left over it is.

would you still recommend the i5? for doing industry content?
I want to install Windows 7 on a new PC build. What's the cheapest way to get a legitimate version?
>>52986294
Personally I'd just overclock the 6600 but if you wouldn't feel comfortable go with the i7.
This rig is complete overkill for 1080p editing, but it's great if you plan on moving up to 4k eventually. I find it odd that someone in the industry still shoots at 1080p though
I'm assuming you work for a small company or freelance?
>>52986298
Buy it.. You can find copies for less than $50 buy just searching for windows 7 in google.
>>52985713
Don't rely on msi after burner, a utility meant for the GPU to monitor page file usage during gaming as this could be simply a false reading.
You have enough ddr ram to disable the page file entirely or set it to 512mb for crash/memory dumps.
If anything refuses to run properly because it requires the paging file uninstall that dusty piece of shit and use modern software.
>>52986352
i do plan on moving up it's just with my current setup i can't, one of the reasons i'm building this, you would build this if i was going to move up to 4k?
i am mostly freelance, yes.
was i forgotten?
>>52986458
Yeah you're fine the cool thing is that later down the line you can always add a second 980ti when they drop in price too. You're set for 4k editing though.

Whats the best software and method to backup 3 hard drives to a single one? Currently I use windows backup tool but Ive heard it may have problems restoring properly later, it creates 3 vhd files which contain everything and make mounting and extracting things easy.

Also is it possible to clone multiple drives to a single one? and yes it has enough space

It depends on the rom, if you mean youre updating through a custom rom. Most of the time hardware specific features are lost or rendered buggy on most phones when doing this, im talking things like fm radio, mhl video and on the go capabilities. But Hotspot should work fine I guess.

No. Windows 8 and 7 performs just the same.
The only thing you gain is faster boot, but you get that Windows 8.1 as well.
Just install 8.1 if you don't have a license, it can activate with any KMS tool you find on the internet.

So I'm learning haskell, and i'm having some serious difficulty understanding how this generates the fibonacci sequence:fib = 1 : 1 : [a+b | (a, b) <- zip fib (tail fib)]
I understood recursion when I learned it in C++, but maybe it doesn't work in the same fashion as haskell.
Before the first iteration, fib should be [1,1] --fine.
So the first iteration should be: zip [1,1] [1] = [(1,1)] which causes a=1, b=1, 1+1=2 --fine.
Resultant fib after the first iteration = [1,1,2] --here's where everything goes to hell in my mind.
2nd iteration: zip [1,1,2] [1,2] =[(1,1),(1,2)] which causes a=??, b=??
I've got two tuple pairs, how does a and b get assigned values in this 2nd and subsequent iterations?

Could invite you, but if you are looking for a public tracker in the first place, I am not so sure if you would seed.
(The site does not ask you to upload actually, just run the shit you download and you get these 'credits', so you can keep an A+ ratio even with a shit ADSL connection.)
>>52988673
This is where the magic happensa+b | (a, b)
It makes the next element in the list the sum of the two items in the tuple.
So you'd have 1, 1, (1+1), (1+(1+1)) etc.
You might want to read up on list comprehension in Haskell.

Moving to Brussels soon. any Belgiumfag to tell me if the Internet is good (as in 100Mbps+)?
>>52988775
Is this somehow funny? Is it a grammatical mistake to put it that way? Should I have said, "I'm trying to learn Haskell?"
>>52988801
But the zip keyword just creates lists of tuples, so if I'm zip'ing a longer list of tuples as my fib list gets longer and longer how is a and b selected from that long-ass list?
That link only confuses me worse because it starts out with multiple generators and I can't comprehend single generators right now.
>>52988785
Tbh I don't seed, already had a letter from ISP. Would that be an issue?
>>52988879
1) Use "btguard", or "privateinternetaccess", both give you "SOCKS5" access that covers your ass, yet it won't slow you down otherwise (games, streaming, browsing, etc.)
2) Private trackers are safe. Only public trackers are safeguarded _usually_ by bots.
>>52988864
It's called "lazy evaluation". Haskell only evaluates the list up to the point you ask for.
As another example[2^x | x <- [0..]]
This is an infinite list of powers of two.
But Haskell will only evaluate the parts you need, which is why you can do something like pic related and it doesn't take forever.
>>52988926
Right, but the boundlessness of this sequence isn't what's confusing me. It's the fact that I'm generating huge lists of tuple pairs (because that's what zip does) and somehow only two values are being selected for a and b in generating the next number in the list.
>>52988986
>It's the fact that I'm generating huge lists of tuple pairs (because that's what zip does)[a+b | (a, b) <- zip fib (tail fib)]
This should be read as
"A list of a+b where a and b are the elements of the tuple from the list generated by 'zip fib (tail fib)'".
>>52989047
>A list of a+b
Holy fucking god. I have no idea how, but I read that short line about 20 times and it just clicked. I was thinking of the sequence generation as being a list where we're only calculating the next element in the list with each iteration and nothing else. I didn't understand that with each iteration, we're re-evaluating the first few elements we had already found.
I know my attempt to explain how/why I was confused probably means nothing to you, but I've been stuck on this for like an hour and now it makes perfect sense. I wish I could do more than just thank you, based anon. :D

well HWInfo can also decide if it's a solid-state device, so maybe if you buy a 500$ motherboard, it may be able to detect it.
but for an OS or boot, it does not matter.
why are you asking tho?
>>52989831
I'm only asked pre -booting,before the os loads,at bios/post ,not in the os...
I just generally asking...like i have a 2007 motherboard, and was just confirming that there will be no compatibility issues running ssd on it,
Only theoretically. ..can't really afford one.
So...all sata based ssd are compatible with all sata ports right (SATA I,II,III)?
>>52989627
>Is there any reason to use FTP instead of SCP?
No. Maybe FTP can be faster because no encryption layer.
>And what's my best option for an Android SCP client?
Filezilla if available.

Use filezilla, it's better.
>>52989871
You could have a 10 year old Pentium PC and it would still boot from an SSD. It's literally the same drive as a HDD or whatever.
Since SATA is backwards compatible, it would work with SATA1 as well. But keep in mind, TRIM would not work on XP or so. (But there are tools to do it for you, and "SSD Toolboxes" can also do it for you.)

>>52989966
AHCI gives you:
- Faster access for HDD - though it's only on paper, I never really felt the difference
- Hot swap support - but it does not work all the time, like even if you "safely remove" an AHCI drive on Windows, it won't power down, so only your data is safe.

Sometimes.
I recently built a new computer, installed Windows 7 x64 as you'd expect, but I'm getting a whole slew of problems. I getting BSODs half a dozen times a day, and they're always caused by different things. My last one was SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION caused by ntoskrnl.exe, the one before that was DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL caused by amd_sata.sys, and the one before that was BAD_POOL_HEADER caused by rdyboost.sys. On top of that I get random screen crashes every now and then. My keyboard lights still work, and my screen still updates, like people can still send me messages on Steam, but I just can't interact with my screen, the mouse and keyboard don't work at all.
And THEN I have a randomly high CPU temperature. I got the AM A10-7870K, and the idle temp is 45C. The instant I do anything, it jumps to 55-60C. My CPU use is what you'd expect, with most being the idle process and the rest being little shit.
And if you want some more on top of that, Windows Update doesn't work. This is now the 3rd ISO I've installed Windows from, and on each one of them, Windows Update has not worked. I actually have to manually stop the service from running because the service was continually trying to update my system with a Windows Update that did not working, causing svchost to spiral out of control in CPU and RAM use which ground my computer to a halt. For the record, this problem has been "solved" by disabling the update service, so this isn't responsible for my CPU temps.
Everything is shit fuck life.

For those of you with phones with "unlimited" data, how much do you normally use? How much is too much? I get that they'll deprioritize my data usage, and that they'll probably limit my p2p, but will they call me or actually cut off my service if I use too much?
>>52990358
Read the fine print, it varies. T-Mobile drops to dial-up speeds after your limit.
>>52990325
that is a really weird behaviour, never seen anything like that. I always get a confirmation, even on my 16.04 alpha Ubuntu box.
maybe it's a raspbian cancer thing?
Do wifi cards need any special drivers or software to work? I want to buy one for my X220T but some guy said even though he bought the same wireless card it didn't work because it wasn't authorized by lenovo? Its the same model and everything which is weird.
>>52990409
Might be, but I think I remember having that happen back on... Ubuntu... 6.04 I think? Or on my Ubuntu 12.04 server. Somewhere. I think it might be because I did sudo apt-get install deluge-console, then said no, a few minutes earlier in the same session.
Meh. One of the mysteries of the unixverse.
>>52990452
Some of them needs binary blobs.
Look up the wifi chip before buying the hardware.
>>52990452
>but some guy said even though he bought the same wireless card it didn't work because it wasn't authorized by lenovo? Its the same model and everything which is weird.
By the way that's not how it works.
If you repair a Lenovo machine (Thinkpad), you need a Lenovo approved wifi card, and that's it.
It's got nothing to do with the drivers.
>>52990399
I'm on Boost, and as far as I can tell they don't have a hidden limit. They do say I'll get deprioritized at 23gb during congestion periods or in high traffic areas, but otherwise they don't mention anything. That won't be a problem since I'm in a very rural area, and even then I use it mostly at night.
>>52990510
How do I know if it's lenovo approved? I don't see any indication of this anywhere, I'm buying from amazon.
Last week I got rid of the getwinx nagware and telemetry updates on my win 8.1 laptop, and turned off automatic updates. About 20 minutes ago I noticed my fan was running hard for seemingly no reason, so I decided to do a restart. It started and completed a windows update while it was restarting.
What gives? Why did it download an update even though I specifically have updates off? Should I be worried?
>>52990547
It should have an FRU (part number), and such.
But then again, you might get scammed.
>>52990553
>Should I be worried?
Yes. But it might just be that you installed something before disabling them.
>>52990544
I have a 4gb package, and I browse, mail, download occasionally, hotpot, use a second sim card in my tablet (shared plan), etc. At the end of the month I barely reach 3gigs.

Need some help with installing mpv on my linux mint 17.3 system. From what I've read, I have the option of either using the mpv-testing ppa or building it from source. But I'm getting really confused about any extra packages I need to install.
If I just use ppa, will that install all the other dependencies? And yes, I've already check the software repo, the version they have there is from the beginning of 2014
>>52990726
Yes, proper PPAs contain all the deps as well.
Just add the PPA, do an apt-get update, then install package.

Where do you place your drawing tablet? I need tips.
Running apps, there is no difference in accuracy right?
The app reads the phones gps without interfering it in anyway?
Is it normal for a 4790k to get up to around 75°C when running at 100%?
Also It's not OC'd and I'm using a H100i GTX cooler
>>52990809
On your desk.
>>52990817
Apps don't interfere, but cases usually do. Especially metal ones.

I have a desk with a keyboard tray beneath the top "layer". So I just put mine (tablet) on the desk, before my display.

>>52990839

>>52990094
anyone
>>52990882
Install "Intel Extreme Tuning Utility", it shows if your CPU is throttling. But the reported temp is usually retarded. Once you put 100% load on your CPU, the sensor just reports back an increased value, not the real one.
It cannot just jump to 80C from 40C in 1 seconds, lol.

>>52991063
For wii and ps2 era games CRTs are the best thing to use. Only replace it if space / weight / power consumption are a concern or if you'll be using newer consoles exclusively.
>>52991038
even if I like to play games?
>>52991063

You can get an ocz 120gb for 40-50$ on Newegg. Can probably go larger for not much more. Ssds don't burn a hole in your pocket like they used to. I picked up a 480gb for 100$ during the Christmas sales.

>>52991274
yeah the thermal paste was pretty old its a shame really since the only other AGP i have is an ATi Rage
what are some good easy to find AGP cards? this motherboard is just AGP 4X so maybe i shouldnt bother with cards that support more? my geforce was 8X
>>52991274

You didn't assembled the hardware correctly... No way to troubleshoot via text, but I would suggest you to check how you mounted the heatsink. And the ram modules for starters

i have my NEC at 1600x1200 but it can go as high as 1792x1344 and for shooters i use 1024x768 @115 Hz and the smoothness is great
and yes most flatscreens will have better picture since almost all have 0.20 pixel pitch compared to the 0.25 that i think was the maximum in consumer grade CRTs but honestly i think 0.25 or even 0.3mm is plenty as long as you dont get too close to the screen
>>52991654

The other day I went to the store to replace my earbuds (just a pair of normal earbuds with no microphone) that broke even if I took extreme care of them.
They were still in warranty, but the woman who I talked to said that these are for mp3 players, and using them with a smartphone would obviously ruin them.
Did she lie to me just to not replace my headphones, or it's an actual issue?
Can't find anything on Google.
It seems very weird to me that something like that would happen, but on the other side this is the second pair of headphones (same model) that break this way after a few months, while my brother who also has the same model has had his for 1.5 years without breaking despite using them more frequently than me, but on a computer.
Finally downloaded Fdroid, what is "Update Repositories" and what does that mean exactly?
OK so I need to know which situation is less retarded to escape the 2.4ghz interference from the 900 wireless networks around me:

Get an app on your phone that shows amount of traffic on different channels, choose the channel with the least traffic. It's a router setting.
If that doesn't help, get N. Most of your devices should already support it if they were made in the last decade.
So I have my first ever dual-monitor setup. Everything is perfectly fine besides the fact that the monitors are unaligned.
In pic related, if I try to move to the other monitor in the red area my cursor won't move over. It stays on that monitor. I didn't add those black bars.
They're both the same monitor with, as far as I know, the same settings. How do I fix this?

>>52993169
Already did that. There's literally over 20 networks around me and since there's so much overlap on channels there's no getting around it. I need to switch to 5GHz, but that involves upgrading several devices with adapters so I'm trying to decide if it would be smarter to get a 5GHz router and just use it as a bridge.
