i'm going to be getting a new (used) laptop that has windows 8 on it (came installed with it). i plan to install W7 on it and delete the W8 install once i make sure everything is okay with the w7 install.
the guy who i bought it from modded the bios to accept a different wireless card.
now my question is, i know the w8 stores the serial on the computer's BIOS, will I be able to install W7 still? and would a new OS install ruin the modded BIOS from the wireless card?
Does anyone here use avanti to convert other video formats into webm?
>>53671903
this video needs some explanation. Why did he catch on fire in the car?
>>53672007
Cops tasked him. I think he spilled gasoline insider the car. The tase set the gas on fire
got a $100 budget for a new gpu, do i get the gt 730 or r7 240
>>53671952
Is it W8 Pro? If so you can legitimately install W7 Pro. If not, you'll need to get a W7 key.
A new OS install doesn't touch the BIOS.
How impossible would it be to mod this thing so it could have a microSD slot? Just for fun.

I've never been a gamer but I got an okay gaming laptop for a decent price but it's from like 2014.
I don't care enough about gaming to pay on like steam or whatever (and the computer can't play them) but I plan to pirate the older games to play like GTA V.
Is pirating them and using a crack safe to do?
>>53672339
It's a PS/2 KVM? Nobody really wants those anymore. $10?
Why are /g/ and /pol/ obsessed with some learning AI from Microsoft?

Cracks work, but get them from private trackers because some cracks are known to be botnets mining bitcoins or virae locking your files.
Or just don't use it for other stuff and reinstall as needed.
Do I need both COMODO and Malwarebytes? Or do they do the same thing?
>>53671966
I just use ffmpeg. Your avanti is probably just a front end for it.
>>53672513
But they do that already without AI intervention.

I am dualbooting windows 7 and fedora 23. I have absolutely no updates for windows 7 SP1, and I am noticing a lot of windows games aren't working that have worked fine on my other 2011 computer and they have similar specs. Would getting all the win7 updates help these games work, or am I being stupid?
How does data recovery work on a SSD? I.e., on a HDD you accidentally delete something, but if it's not written over yet you can recover it with a program like Recuva. Does that work on SSD too?
>>53673016
For recovering deleted files it works the same way
>>53673023
Cool. And since extra writes can destroy the SSD, people can't use "secure erase" like with HDD right?
>>53673034
The limited writes of moderns SSDs is fairly overstated
Secure erase also works the same way as HDDs.
I don't even know if this is really a technology question, but I don't know where else to ask.
Is it legal to make money off of a website if that website contains music via embedded youtube videos? Am I okay since I don't upload or host the music, only embed links? Or is it still illegal just having it on my site in any way, shape or form?

I foolishly used phone # verification to read some yik yaks. It wouldn't allow readin yaks without making an account, yet they mention no way of deleting an account or disassociating a phone number.

Its a very fine and squiggly line, but it sounds like what you have in mind would be considered infringement.

So I've been programming in python for a while and I want to try out haskell.
Of course I can edit example.hs, and then save it, and then go into the terminal and run ghc example.hs, but that's a lot of steps compared to idle's "edit example.py, press f5"
and doing everything in GHCi is awful if I want to save things and look back on them later.
Does anybody know of an ide that makes running a haskell script as simple as a single key combination?

Conflicting answers but good to keep in mind nonetheless.
If I may ask one other question, if it was illegal and someone wanted to get on me about it, would they first give me a warning or C&D in which I could simply take it down and be alright, or would it go straight to legally fucking me in the ass?

Not the website guy's problem. DESU I'd like a little more detail before declaring him in the clear or not (in my humble, non-lawyer opinion of course).
>>53673229
Definitely a warning. Here's the thing about this "legality": FBI, CIA, state troopers, etc. aren't scouring the internet for lone copyright infringers to lock up. The rights' holders have to do this themselves, and then work to get the infringement removed with the help of the website owner. I.e. you.

Let's say I had a mini itx tower, a 380 and 550 PSU, and 300 dollars whar with be my best investment for a mobo and CPU
>>53673241
IIRC, CPUs tend to cost a little more than GPUs, which are way more expensive than mobos. For a mobo you really just need something that meets your build specs - it's not like they have gigahertz power rankings or something. Just avoid any mobos with a lot of bad feedback.
>>53672138
Depends, could you rewrite its BIOS to accept more than one storage area, and a hot swappable one at that?
>>53673183
It a different style of programming, often people would run a terminal to run the code or connect to a REPL.
You want an IDE or text editor that supports an interative REPL. emacs should support it. Check the haskell website for ide and text editor support.
>>53673241
you'll probably end up spending cpu > gpu > mobo
if you're smart you'll put your power source above the mother board
if you don't mind being shot in the leg - literally - feel free to cheap out on it.
>>53672766
Maybe you should research why the games don't work,like what is the error,in which game,etc.
Updates are not a magic pill that cure,unless the games are current generation and the updates fix them.

I hear emacs is a pain in the ass and not worth learning.
Is this true, or just a meme? I can use it like a regular text editor like gedit or notepad++?
and when I use it, I'll be able to just press a key/key combination and my haskell script will run?
>It a different style of programming, often people would run a terminal to run the code
Why? Isn't that just more effort with no advantage?
>>53673289
My current mobo isn't working properly and my CPU is an 860k so why not upgrade

>>53671952
Why did it required modding the bios to change wireless card?Does simply changing cards and installing drivers doesn't work?
Also,how does someone even mods bios?
About the key,
The OEM i.e. the manufacturer stores the license info/key in the bios .This results in skipping of key input during windows installation.
If you want to make the windows installation ignore the bios key,then do this:
>open windows installation media (usb or dvd) folder
>open sources folder
>open file ei.cfg in notepad
Make sure below [Channel],Retail is written,if not write Retail.save it.
Now you will be able to input win 7 key.

>>53673359
Hell no it isn't a "meme". Emacs, Vim, etc. are fucking relics and should not be used this century. Unless you are a hipster of course, in which case enjoy your vinyls. Just like playing vinyls, you're jumping through hoops to get what is effectively the same experience of modern tech.
Just use Notepad++, dude. Maybe if you're one of those TV hackers who mashes the keyboard to generate dozens of lines about buffer converting to 3.141583724825 degrees past the fuzzy encryption, Emacs would make you a little faster. But you're probably not.
>>53673359
>I hear emacs is a pain in the ass and not worth learning.
It can be but you can full control and customize it.

Yes

>Why? Isn't that just more effort with no advantage?
It simple and doesn't require a lot of effort into building the functionality into an editor, one you might not even be able to modify (which is why emacs is pretty popular).

Get a usb wifi card for it and configure it as access point with some kind of dhcp like dnsmasq.
Its not going to have internets, obviously, but you can connect to this accesspoint and ssh to it.

To be able to ssh, you need to be on the same network.

There are a few things that make it not my favorite, but nothing I couldn't get over if it made programming in haskell easy.
I got nearly to the point where I had atom working with haskell, but in the end, it kept shouting at me about cabal files and I couldn't find anything about them or how to make them by googling. I know cabal is haskell's package manager, but why would I need to make a cabal file just to run a hello world script?
Does notepad++ force you to make one?
>>53673498
does emacs force you to make cabal files even to run simple scripts?
Is that just the way haskell works?
>It simple and doesn't require a lot of effort into building the functionality into an editor, one you might not even be able to modify
I can see some people liking this, but I prefer the convenience of an editor.

I've posted it a few times in these threads and on the MSI forums, no one seems to have any clue, I've tried everything I can think of man
My computer suddenly turned off
then it wouldn't turn on again. Fans would come on, lights would come on, but no boot
I currently have it working again with ram units 1 and 2 filled, but any ram in slots 3 or 4 and it doesn't boot. is my motherboard fucked? it's only a 15 month old computer. this means my ram isn't in pairs. it is two sets of 2x8gb RAM and they are indentical, just purchased several years apart.
I have had an issue where my CPU was under heavy load for no discernible reason, Malwarebytes (full version) finds nothing.
This happened last night, it is now a 4 day weekend...fuck. any suggestions before i order a new motherboard? And do a fresh Windows 8.1 install?
>>53673587

hi /g/, i think my pc is infected but avira, malwarebytes and norton power erase say it's clean, how can i be absolutely sure that my win7 install is clean? i would reinstall windows but that's pointless since i have 1tb of data on 2nd hdd and can't nuke that, i have to be sure that my install and all my files are 100% clean

The issue is that with more than the first two RAM slots filled, it doesn't boot. me having too many start programs isn't the issue here. I think it was a problem with GOG Galaxy and Over-wolf running at the same time, because shutting them down dropped my CPU usage by 50%. they must have been working against each other somewhere.
>>53673766
I would recommend reinstall of Windows. I have only once encountered a virus that survived clean windows install,still it is possible.
You can't be absolutely sure without complete reinstall. Still this is what I recommend,
Make a bootable linux usb,any will do.
Boot into linux,no need to install,open hdd where you have your 1tb data.Go through each file and folder and delete permanently what you don't identify. Now reinstall windows.
If you don't wanna reinstall just yet,you can check your startup entries to check anything fishy.
>>53673802
One or more of your ram slot or ram stick may be bad,did you check each one independently on each ram slot.
Also reset bios before you check independently.
>>53672017
Cop wasn't carrying a taser though.
My current MOBO has massive USB issues.
If I bought a new mobo, different brand, installed it and put everything back together in my case would it work? Or would I need to reinstall my OS again?
Also would I need to apply new thermal paste to the cpu?
How easy is this to fuck up??
>>53673866
Your current windows will freak out if you changed mobo,clean install will be fine.
You will have to apply paste again as cpu is being moved from one board to another.
Its hard to fuck up unless this is your first time.
How did you conclude your mobo has usb issues?
Also are issues in front usb or back usb ports?
>>53673866
>If I bought a new mobo, different brand, installed it and put everything back together in my case would it work?
it should, just make sure your new mobo is compatible with your current cpu
> would I need to reinstall my OS again?
probably, you should do this anyway to avoid issues
>Also would I need to apply new thermal paste to the cpu?
yes
>How easy is this to fuck up?
pretty difficult desu senpai. back up your data first and make sure you apply the thermal paste correctly.
How do I know when to choose an i7 vs i5?
I read somewhere that i5's will outperform an i7 in most instances unless the program specifically utilizes the i7. Would emulating games be an example of where I would need an i7? I can emulate games just fine on my i5 desktop but this will be for a laptop.

You're better off getting a USB PCI card
>>53673850
>reset bios

I'll check the sticks and slots now
>>53673950
Thats my boy.
>>53673945
You mean PCIe right?I don't think current mobo include PCI slots.
>>53673912
>Its hard to fuck up unless this is your first time.
It is my first time, pls be gentle
>clean install will be fine.
Damn, well okay.
>Also are issues in front usb or back usb ports?
All of them, also there are other issues too. When I turn on my PC I have to enter into bios setup and then exit it or else the screen will go blank at the windows startup and I have to reboot.
Also if I leave it on for like over 6 hours in sleep mode the screen won't even turn on and I have to reboot.
My mobo is asrock bullshit.
>How did you conclude your mobo has usb issues?
Any mouse I use will stop working for a second then start up again if I'm using too much memory. It's doing it right now.
>>53673921
Is applying thermal paste difficult?
Only supposed to use a little bit right?
Do I have to buy a whole tube of it if I only need a very small amount?
>>53673998
Fella, CPUs come with paste right under a little sticker nowadays. No need for you to apply it yourself.
>>53673973
well i slotted in one stick into slot 4 and here i am, except my main monitor isn't turning on. fuck me, the computer detects it, it just doesn't seem to have any power. Fucking Korean 1440p piece of shit
>>53674021
I'm not buying a new cpu.
Still need dat paste tho
>>53673998
>first time
Don't worry mate,we have all been there
>thermal paste
This is the most easy part,yes only a little bit.If you can get a little bit,you don't have to buy tube.
Did you try updating bios doing clean windows install without drivers,then checking if usb issues are there?
>>53674055
>Did you try updating bios doing clean windows install without drivers,then checking if usb issues are there?
Yes, yes to both.
Also I went online and there are many more people having USB issues with this same mobo so I'm pretty sure it's defective.
It's a p8z77 v.
>>53674031
Nigga do you even know anything before you start blaming Korea?
To check if the issue in slot 4 is ram or mobo,remove the signal cable and then turn on system.If no signal comes then,ram/slot bad else monitor bad.
>>53674074
Well if usb issues are happening to many others then replace mobo asap.
Is it under warranty?

No, I bought it from some dude off kijiji for about 600 dollars.
Pretty good deal though because everything else in the computer is really good, high performance hardware and has been working fine for the past 10 months.

Did you reset cmos,or not?
Did you try with a different psu?
Did you try with a different ram?
>>53674133
Are you sure the 250gb ones are HDD not SSD?
>>53674109
I can't reset my cmos, according to msi the pins are labled jbat1 this is the diagram from my manual do you see it listed?
How long does it take cops to search a 1.5 TB HDD for child pr0n?
>>53674143
I haven't tried with a different PSU, there's nothing to suggest it's the psu, as far as RAM I've swapped the sticks I have out and around but I dont have anything else laying around.
>>53674187
Recovering whole data if deleted can take 3-5hrs,which is not a problem as they would have the hdd.
>>53674133
1 TB drives are pretty much all single platter these days, at that point it doesn't really make much difference in price
When product stock gets low resellers will often increase the price, leading to outdated hardware that isn't being restocked being sold at higher cost than better performing more modern hardware
Context: I'm getting started with R, and want/need to add Python to my skill set.
• It seems there are two concurrent versions of Python ATM (v2 and 3). For someone with no prior experience in this language, is there a reason to chose one over the other? (Please note I will be running it on an old machine (WinXP) so (according to www.python.org) it won't work with 3.5+).
• Is there an IDE/editor of choice for the language?
• Which book(s) and resources would you recommend for a sound, hands-on coverage of the basics of Python?
• Anything else I should now before I dive into it?
Thanks!
>>53674196
I think this is because 250gb hdd are not in production now.
If the price is same and space is not important, get a ssd.
my room is hot. freaking hot.
no ventilation, air doesn't get in and out here, my windows are screened to prevent mosquito, etc etc.
apart from my 18" wallfan directly hitting me above, the air here is very stagnant. Or should I say dry, since 5 liters of cold water isn't enough for some reason. I don't want to waste much money on air conditioning for obvious reasons.
but my room is pretty big enough to place some indoor plant that could somehow reduce heat. what kind of indoor plant should I get and how should I care it?
>>53674219

I've never heard of such a thing. Best they can do is moisten the atmosphere (transpiration), for which you want to pick heat-resistant, water-loving, leafy species.

Hey guys I'm new to this board, is this a tight place to discuss about digital cameras? I'm planning to buy a nikon i5 for semiprofesional uses (blogs and Web page images), is 300 usd a good price for it? Any other suggestions?
>>53674344
>moisten the atmosphere
that would kill 2 birds in one stone. the room is dry, meaning I have to water myself more than necessary because 5 liters of cold water a day ain't enough. and if the room is moist, it should also be perfect for my PC heating up this room.
>>53674222
1) I don't think it makes a big difference. Many programs/scripts/etc. online may require one or the other to work, but you can install multiple versions alongside each other if necessary. The changes are fairly minor AFAIK - for example,
--in 2.x "input" will evaluate whatever string you pass it, and you had to use "raw_input" to be safe. In 3.x "input" now behaves like raw_input of 2.x.
-- in 2.x "range" creates a list of numbers, while "xrange" creates a generator object that can be iterated over, but doesn't actually keep a bunch of numbers in memory. In 3.x "range" now behaves like xrange.
I'd go with 3.x for now, and study up on the 2.x differences just for fun later. Like I said it's not a big difference, but 3.x does arguably do things better.
2) There's a built-in IDE called IDLE, but many folks only use this to get started. Then they switch to something like Notepad++ and only run python from the command line.
3) I actually recommend http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-189-a-gentle-introduction-to-programming-using-python-january-iap-2011/ as a good start.

Sweating is the natural process by which your body transfers heat to your surrounding: you secrete water → it absorbs body heat to evapourate → you cool down.
If the air is already full of moisture, the sweat ⇆ vapour equilibrium isn't properly shifted to the right.
Heat transfer is impeded, thermoregulation isn't efficient, you feel like your slog through the Amazon jungle in a padded coat.

How is Media Preview supposed to work? None of my .webm thumbnails actually show until I go view the files myself in Windows Explorer.
Meaning if I select Choose File on here, the thumbnails of the files I haven't scrolled past in Windows Explorer won't show or load at all until I load Windows Explorer and navigate to them.

I have kingston hyper cloud x II and I have to unplug and plug it in again to use the microphone and lately while using it suddenly i hear this weird sound like sssssp and then suddenly the microphone and the headphones stop working and then only the headphones work and so I unplug and plug it in again and this time the headphones AND the microphone don't work and the 7.1 surround sound activating button on the usb sound card box thing turns off and i can't press the button to activate it, everything just stops and I have to restart my computer entirely for it to come back..
Also sometimes if I just change the microphone device and change it back after the mic stops working it'll start working (not guaranteed) but after a bit both the headphones and the microphone both disappear from the playback devices and recording devices list.
anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?

Isn;t there a massive difference between the algorithm behind the chatbot and the neural network behind TAY 1.0?
Can anyone explain the differences on how new information is stored and also the hardware differences between the two?
Sup /g/, my choice for a power supply are between these two at the moment:
http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model_Specification.aspx?id=C_00001966
http://www.corsair.com/en-us/cx750-80-plus-bronze-certified-power-supply
The TT one has a 720W while the Corsair has 750W. The Corsair is more expensive by about $6. However, the TT one, although lower in wattage, is semi-modular while the Corsair is non-modular. And it seems that the TT is less efficient at 100% load than the Corsair (bronze) by ~2% so whatever. The TT also has a 14cm fan instead of the 12cm one on Corsair. Those are the only differences I noticed. The CX also has:
>4-Pin Peripheral Connector: 4
>PCI-E Connector: 4
So 4x4PCI-E connectors so 16 in total right? My motherboard needs 6, and two 390x cards would need at least 8 (but probably 16 -- I'm not sure). Semi-modular makes more sense doesn't it?
I'm not going to be pushing these to their load any time soon but I might get another 390x for a dual setup/CF. Even then, I've used the calculator (http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator at 100% cpu tdp +24h use) and at MOST my system would consume 710W (in CF) so the TT semi-modular supply would still be a viable, cheaper, option. Really lost atm. The system is a mid-high end and I'm going to stick with it for a long time.
Also, the Tt's operational temperature is up to 35° while the Corsair is 30°. I'll provide enough ventillation/cooling for both though.
The only problem would be if the Tt doesn't actually deliver the power it's rated. Should I save some moneg and go for a much more reliable xfx?

OS X question. I'm using a TL-WN823N USB WiFi adapter to connect to the Internet.

I've just discovered that the 10.10 driver is now available, but not yet the 10.11. Don't even know for sure if they'll ever get around to it. I've sent an email to the support crowd but I don't expect a response to be honest.

Hi /g/,
My PC has been crashing lately when I launch any 3D application or if I've been watching video for several hours. The display crashes, doesn't recover and the system becomes unresponsive. I can still hear the CPU and fans running inside of my chassis, but I have to hard reset to recover from the crash.
The PC otherwise seems stable, I've run stress tests on both the CPU and memory and they appear fine. The voltages from the PSU are as expected. I also tried to use older GPU drivers. There are no error messages in the windows event viewer (aside from unexpected shut down).
Does anyone know what my problem could be? I'm guessing it's either a dying GPU or PSU. If my GPU at load pulled more watts than my PSU can currently provide, would that result in only the GPU shutting off? I would think if it was a PSU problem, the entire computer would shut off. Maybe I'm wrong here.
Any ideas?

Not sure if there's any good guide but basically:
1) Use Linux (seriously, not memeing)
2) Encrypt your hard drives. Don't use bitlocker.
3) Learn how to use GPG to encrypt, sign, and v erify data. Insist people use this infrastructure whenever they can.
4) Use HTTPS everywhere you can. Consider extremely carefully what you visit over HTTP.
5) Ditch common mail services like GMail, use your own (hard mode) or find a provider outside the jurisdiction of your opponent (ProtonMail, russian mail hosts
6) Use Linux (seriously)
7) Trust but verify.
8) Keep a tight watch on your updates.
9) For the love of god don't pirate or otherwise run untrusted executables.
10) Don't let other people use your computer, nor leave it on or unattended. Turn it off whenever you're not actively using it (full disk encryption only works if the attacker is booting cold).
11) Don't let apps and services like facebook share access to each other (no facebook email integrations etc to find friends)
12) Use secure, unique passwords, and where you can, 2FA, ideally with hardware tokens like Yubikey.

Device manager*. Sorry, I'm retarded.
>>53678735
Laptops usually have this in their fn keys.
Or the touchpad driver also has it (synaptic?). You can click the notification or press the top-left part of the touchpad to toggle it, it's configurable.
>>53678779
>>53678735
Oh you mean touch screen.
If there's no notification icon try installing the driver from the manufacturer's site. They usually add more software than the actual driver for doing more configurations.
>>53678779
None such on mine. It's an X1 Yoga. I wouldn't expect Lenovo to make fn keys that aren't completely useless (three of them are basically equivalent to just pressing the window key).

But it's tossing me an error. Can someone help me out?

I do IT for a small company. I just replaced the owner's wife's PC with a newer one with much better specs.
She's complaining that it is "not responding" a lot and the older PC never did that and sent screenshots of it being hung up when doing simple clerical things (not responding when renaming a network folder, not responding when moving a file on the network, etc). No one else is having any issues.
Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? Number of applications/open files isn't an issue. No background applications. Network speed checks out.
>>53679023
I'm not going to play any DX12, I'll go with 8.1.
Where can I get a clean W8.1 iso? I've used nothing but 7 on the last years, got the iso from mydiditallife forum and used daz loader.

>>53679058

Shit. I forgot all about that. It stopped the error thankfully. Now to figure out why it's not working.
>>53679058
First see if the hard drive is failing
Then see if the RAM is bad
Then see if she has enough RAM
Then see if Windows is corrupted
Reinstall Windows
Return computer

What should be the minimum MBPS required for online gaming/streaming?
>>53679123
Doesn't matter, it's generally not a lot. What's more important is latency. 10Mbps is probably more than enough if you're the only user.
Obviously, there will be contention and slow down if your room mate is trying to torrent game of thrones, which is where a higher bandwidth can be useful, or alternatively, you could just QoS him to shit, giving your own traffic priority over his.

I have kingston hyper cloud x II and I have to unplug and plug it in again to use the microphone and lately while using it suddenly i hear this weird sound like sssssp and then suddenly the microphone and the headphones stop working and then only the headphones work and so I unplug and plug it in again and this time the headphones AND the microphone don't work and the 7.1 surround sound activating button on the usb sound card box thing turns off and i can't press the button to activate it, everything just stops and I have to restart my computer entirely for it to come back..
Also sometimes if I just change the microphone device and change it back after the mic stops working it'll start working (not guaranteed) but after a bit both the headphones and the microphone both disappear from the playback devices and recording devices list.
anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?
I have some mp4 files and mkv that don't display video. Most of the problematic files don't play sound, either. I downloaded codec packs, but to no avail. Any idea what the problem could be? They work fine under Windows 8.1 but not Linux Mint.
When I use uBlock's element picker on commercial banner, it doesn't give me option to create filter. Create button is greyed out.
What's wrong?
>>53679366
do you have an example?
is the selector field filled out?
hey guys
My computer shuts off when I play intensive games (mildly intensive I would say).
It did with XCOM 2 and now with Call of Juarez. I then ran XCOM 2 with speccy and saw that my 8350 was spiking to 80-90 degrees so I found the culprit.
Now I opened the computer to check what was going on and couldn't find anything wrong other than I may have put slightly too much thermal paste, but I don't think it would cause the temps to go that high, would it?
I am suspecting there may be something wrong with my mobo, not the cpu as other things have been happening (USB ports will stop working for no reason, stuff like that, although it could be windows)
Should I try reapplying thermal paste and reattaching my 212 to it or should I just switch the mobo to something else and get an i5 6660k? (I am done with AMD cpus)
My pc is
FX8350

Thanks in advance

What I'm doing wrong?
What should be my frequency of ram to fit i5 4690?
>>53679422
Well shit it works now. I had to select all of those lines at once for some reason.
All I did was unplug 2xHDD, 1xSSD so I could clean up my case and now my computer won't start.
Advice.
Inb4 did you plug them back in.

it tries to block the image itself, once it changes you have ads again.
try###content > div.col-b > div[class^="d"]
instead, which blocks the container.
>>53679493
Check the power supply and make sure you didn't pull anything out of place. Other than that, just check connections in general.

We bought four identical machines of the new one but she's the only one reporting issues.
We basically just use Office (word, outlook) and a database client. Nothing strenuous at all
>>53679238
No. If you want, just plug in your PSU and poke it. Poking your monitor/TV/whatever while it's on will work as well.
>>53679544
most likely culprit is a bad stick of ram, run memtest
recommend a wireless headset.
the reason first and most of all is that I stand a lot from my desk PC to either drink or pee. A lot. So much that if I went wired I'd just be too bothered to not even wear them afterwards.
All I'm really looking for is good range, battery life and as a bonus if it can act as an emergency makeshift speaker since manually switching to speakers is a lot of trouble.
No Logitech G930 and Corsair V2000. both their arms break after a few months just google "g930 crack" or "v2000 crack".
Could someone give me a ballpark estimate of how much a 1080 will be? I have enough money for a 980, but if the 1080 will be around the same price then I might as well wait.
Looking for a device that connects to a local (= LAN) upnp radio streaming server and plays that stuff back. Basically a network radio client. But if I look for that all I get is software software software.

>>53679575
Alright, good idea. Thanks!
>>53679584
I don't remember the brand name or anything but they make a wired headset that's set up as a breakaway so if you stand up and walk away the cord disconects and it switches to wireless mode

So, my computer "hangs" sometimes. Well, Windows continues to "function".
>chrome pages become blank, loading takes a long time
>while this happens i can't go browse folders in explorer, loading takes long
Like I said, things still function so I thought my harddrive was failing. So tried browsing folders on other drives, but it has the same problem.
Could it be my PSU?
Is this a good power supply?

What, like literally just be touching the case the entire time and work with one hand? Does the case need to have the power supply plugged in and connected to the case? Sorry I just got the components to build a computer for the first time.
>>53679841
Absolutely, but the more people encouraged to do it, and the more it becomes the norm, the easier it is to get lost in the noise.

Even if it's 1/3rd of the open source world, that's good enough. While it's low enough to be a selector still, it's high enough that it imposes a high enough burden to break.

lol no

just touch your power supply every 15 minutes or so. avoid nylon and wool clothing.
don't wear socks with sandals either. nothing to do with static electricity, it's just retarded. don't do it.
>>53680013

Raritan twice, no issues. Checking the hard drive now I guess
>>53679932
Work with your elbows resting on the sides of the case.
Honestly though, ESD isn't such a big deal. I think that most people who work with computers preach about what they do to avoid it but when they're actually working their grubby hands are all over the components. Computer parts are far more resilient than you think - you'll find that out when you install the RAM.

hello g what is this white stuff and how do i clean it?
>>53680606
Your picture is really too shitty to tell. Doesn't really look like corrosion or anything. Might just be cobwebs for all we can tell.
So I've got a SSD and HDD, my OS and other key programs are on my SSD so I've been able to load up theses fine when this problem happens. The problem is some areas of files on my HDD take several minutes to load, at first I just thought "o just a lot of shit here" but I've since opened other files that hold much large chunks of crap with ease. This has since become a much bigger problem where my computer will BSOD by kernel data inpage error it will load up and just not detect anything other than the file structures on my HDD, this is normally sorted out by just turning it off/on again which is a very temporary solution.
I don't even know if this is place to ask this sort of question but it is I guess stupid questions thread, what do? I feel like I'm living with hard drive with alzheimer's and probably should just take the good bits off it and then go out back and shoot it before it really start to fuck everything up.
>>53680712
Did you originally have the OS installed on the HDD? If you're booting from the SSD, any errors from reading on the HDD shouldn't cause BSOD or anything. I would run the disk error check if you haven't already.
does 144hz actually make a difference or is it just jew propaganda? also how well does 1080p resolution games upscale to 2556x1440 resolution?
>>53680824
144hz you probably won't notice if you don't do upper end gaming or serious fps play or something. I could imagine video editors/animators using it, but for the avg consumer I'd say just wait until they're standard.
Both are 16:9, so it should upscale fine.
why does using else ifs not work here? i understand that it does not check anything other than 'if', if the others are 'else if' but why is that?
shouldn't 'else if's check if prompt matches some other stuff?
>>53681022
or is that code the same as using one reaaaaally long one 'if' statement? like "if >=0 and <=10 AND not this... AND this OR that...."?
>>53681022
You're never going to get past that second if. All possible ages will either be 0>10 or <0 || >10
>>53681022
because this is an example code that doesn't reflect "when" you should use if but rather "how to" . don't think about it.
>>53681097
oh shit i guess that makes sense then
>>53681138
okay but for example, when would i use multiple 'if' statements like that as opposed to 'if' and then 'else if's?
Hey guys, /g/ convinced me to order an SSD and I got it!
Now, I DO know how to install windows on it and make it the boot drive. What i DONT know is: should I remove my windows 7 installation off my current HDD afterward (to save space once it becomes my main storage drive)? Is that even possible? Is that the norm to do once my new windows install is on my SSD?
Also, I figure it's better to give my SSD a fresh install instead of cloning my current HDD installation, yeah?
Thanks bros, google was giving me shit for a question this specific
>>53681022
>why does using else ifs not work here?
Because you might want more than one of them to evaluate to true and perform their logic, baka.
>>53681187
like in the example, every if statement would be checked.
however using if-else means the second would be checked only if the first if statement was false. and the third one would be checked only if both the first and second were false. and so on.
