What are good sites that archive /h/ and /b/ other than fgts? Or is that the only one
>>53734583
Check 4chanX archiver settings or foolz github.
Nobody wants to archive /b/.
Too expensive and needs lots of care to deal with CP and illegal stuff.
Also its too fast.

I installed windows 10 Pro and activated it with kmspico, but now I just got a legit copy of win10 Education and i was wondering: Can I upgrade from my Pro version without having to do a reinstall? If not, can I do the reinstall without losing my programs and settings?

This seems as good a place to ask as any.
I need a program that doubles as both an image-editing program and a text-editing program. For example, say I'm drawing something on one layer, I can then add notes in a format that can be later edited on another layer.
Neither of these functions have to be particularly robust (think MSPaint + Notepad for how simple I am willing to settle for), I just need the ability to have both in one place.
>>53735007
kmspico does nasty stuff to the system and there's always the chance you got silent malware with it, so reinstalling is reccommended.

I'm not getting any notifications on my phone. As in I don't get something in my notification tray, no sound, no vibration, when I receive a new email, snapchat, etc. so I miss emails and don't actually see them until hours or sometimes days later when I manually open the app and check.

If i have a cisco switch, how do i actually transfer files between the 2 pcs? Consider the situation that i only have the switch, not the router, so the 2 pcs can't access the internet
>>53735502
Note that one pc is winxp and the other one is win7
Do i statically assign both of those ip addresses, try to ping each other, (assume that works) and what next, how to actually transfer files?
>>53735502
the switch does nothing, it just spreads the signal. You need a device that manages a local network, a subnet, local ip's.. this magical device is known as a router.

I was given a computer that was "broke" by my grandmother. The hard drives are no good and the mobo is a little buggy, but everything else seems functional. It's not a pre-built, I guess her son "made" it for her, as she put it.
I'd like to build a PC for modest gaming, hoping to throw some decent money on the CPU and mobo (~$200) and use the mediocre parts until I can get the funds to upgrade. I have the case, fans, monitor, keyboard, etc. already.
Will this work, assuming everything is compatible? I've never tinkered with hardware, only used pre-builts most of my life (usually laptops). I just need it for light-gaming on medium/low settings, plus some video-editing.
>>53735558
Go 88 mph, go back a few years and mine. Apart from that it's a done game. You need ASICs today. Big initial investment and fairly small profit. Back in the day you could just use your GPU and make a bit on the side, but today you'll be spending way more for the power to run it than you'd make. And if you're enjoying free electricity you can make like 5 cents a month using a GPU.
You'll literally make more from looking for coins on the sidewalk.
>>53735681
Why wouldn't it work?
Just pay close attention to what your mobo supports, PCIe speeds, sata etc. Also look at how many Watts your power supply has, you don't wan to buy some heavy gpu and see that supply is not strong enough
>>53735502
>>53735539
Any help from network admins?
>>53735727
>Why wouldn't it work?
I guess I'm posting more for assurance, making sure I'm not forgetting anything, like what you posted just now. Hadn't thought about the PCIe speeds, honestly. PSU should be adequate, it's surprisingly strong.
>>53735742
Just dl the exact mobo manual and start slowly reading
>>53735297
My plan as of the moment is to get a new 240gb SSD and a Windows license.
Then get a GPU. Thanks man
>>53735772
Fair enough. Which would you say is worth investing more in over the long run, CPU or mobo? Again, I'm a software guy, not super keen on building just yet.
>>53735502
Is it a managed switch or no? If it's managed, you need to configure it to allow the machines to communicate.
Also, if you only want to transfer files between two PCs, forget the switch and just plug a regular ethernet cable from one directly to the other. You used to need crossover cables for this, but today you can use either kind of cable for either direct or switch connections and the NICs will adapt.
But yeah, assign each an IP on the same subnet. Disable Windows Firewall or learn how to allow ICMP (for pings) and whatever else you want through it. You might find that enabling Windows Internet Connection Sharin on one end or the other will make it easier since that'll make the one PC assign the other an IP over DHCP -- even if there's no actual internet to share.
>>53735539
I would normally suggest sharing a folder by right clicking, sharing tab, advanced sharing, etc. But:
>one pc is winxp and the other one is win7
That means you're in for an adventure. I have honestly had better luck getting both to connect to a Samba share on a Linux box than directly to each other.
You'd probably get what you want more easily by installing Bitvise SSH Server (free edition) on one PC and accessing it from the other using WinSCP.

I'm using xubuntu and I installed the royal-gtk-theme and weirdly its window buttons don't show up in the window manager settings. I can select it in the appearance tab though. What's wrong?
I have a USB stick that's borked.
It mounts and opens fine, but within about 30 seconds it unmounts and remounts itself. Just long enough that I can't copy anything large. In Windows it makes the annoying "DA DUNG" sounds every few seconds.
Linux it appears and disappears.
Can I get everything off it? Is it just a lose connection somewhere I could solder?
>>53735934
It's probably a loose connection you can solder to fix.
But if you want to read it out first in case you bork it more, disable automounting in Linux and use ddrescue. Include a name for a log file when you run it. It will image the drive sector by sector and make a log of which ones are already read. When it disappears, reconnect it and run the same command again. It'll resume where it left off and copy another 30 seconds worth of sectors. When you're finally done, loopmount this image file or use 7-zip to extract the files from it.

Can I install a CPU cooler without installing a backplate? Specifically the SCYTHE Tatsumi SCTTM-1000A?
Thanks, gee.
>>53736183
this. they got what they deserved, fucking idiots
>>53736252
Learn by doing, but do it in a VM so you can mouse out of the VM to google questions and so you don't fuck your Windows by accident. Get VirtualBox or VMware Player. Ubuntu is the most noob friendly, Xubuntu or Kubuntu if you don't like the Unity GUI.
>>53736256
MalwareBytes
>>53736296
Dual boot or run your Linux in a VM. Or use Linux and boot Windows in a VM if your CPU has VT-d so you can passthrough your GPU for gaming.

P.S.: I have my mobo horizontally, so it doesn't hang on the side of the case but lies.
My Windows 7 got the Black Screen of Death this morning. Starting it in Safe Mode just once seemed to have fixed the screen issue on all my startups, but now all my startups have the properties of Safemode, including not being able to access any networks, not being able to change the themes from the System Default, and other issues. What do?
>>53736167
can't you just get a hyper evo 212 like everyone else? anyway, you can't really go wrong with coolers these days, just make sure the mounting system is not shit.

>>53736357
Tried system restore? Sfc /scannow? That dism repair thing?
>>53736373
well that's double the price. I could get a decently sized noctua for that price (probably country differences). Also, is it possible to mount without a backplate on the stock clips for AMD? I've got a case that puts my mobo horizontally...
>>53735323

Are you sure an issue with notifications in settings? Like you or someone turned them off?
>>53736387
>I want to put my music on my phone but ive got no expandable storage and it won't fit.
This, folks, is why phones with no MicroSD slot are crap. Now that you've fallen for the "with this much internal storage, who could possibly need external?" meme, why not fall for the "put it all in the cloud and stream it" meme? Or fall for the Sansa Clip+ meme like I did, stick in a 128-200 GB MicroSD and have a really tiny player with ridiculously high capacity.
>What format should I convert my songs to if I want to reduce the filesize while keeping it as close to 320k mp3 quality?
VBR ogg does a pretty good job of sounding good at lower bitrates than MP3. If you're wedded to MP3, LAME does a pretty darn good job on --preset extreme, though the result is still bigger than an ogg with equivalent sound quality.

I've checked that but it's off. I've looked through all of the notifications setting but couldn't find anything that would cause the problem. I'd really prefer to not have to factory reset like >>53735452 said.
>>53736387

Is it ok to ask about PC issues in this thread? I know /g/ has that one rule about tech support, but I have a problem that has been bothering me for quite a while and we are in /sqt/ anyway, so why not?
>>53736621
But wouldn't the virus affect my whole hard drive? The same hard drive with linux on it.
>>53736727
not unless it encrypts or wipes the drive. and even then i don't think it would touch a different partition, which you would need for linux anyway.
if you have 50 dollaroos to spare get a 2nd drive for linux and enjoy your peace of mind.
>>53736523
Generally no, since Windows can't read ext4. Of course a virus on the Windows side *could* corrupt other partitions like your Linux one, but they generally don't do this. Viruses want to either encrypt your files to hold them for ransom, co-opt your computer to do botnet things, or scan for personal info to harvest -- none of which they can do to an ext4 partition.
>>53736526
What Windows version? Generally you obtain Windows install media either by downloading from MS using a media creation tool, or torrent an iso and then md5sum it and google the sum to see if it matches a known clean MSDN source.
Then you burn it to a DVD or create a bootable USB stick either using the official MS tool or Rufus. Or for UEFI systems, just extract all files from the iso into a formatted USB stick. Boot from that, delete existing partitions you don't care about (leaving any BIOS diagnostic partition optionally). Tell Windows to install to the blank space and it will add partitions in the layout it prefers. When it's done installing, run Windows Update and select any drivers it finds. Get any remaining missing drivers from the Acer website.
Also Acer kinda sux, poor build quality etc.

>if you have 50 dollaroos to spare get a 2nd drive for linux and enjoy your peace of mind.
If you've got a virus that screws the whole hard disk, not just files inside partitions Windows can read, there's nothing stopping it from screwing your second hard disk as well. Actually if anything it might have an easier time since Windows doesn't see it as a system drive and lend it a bit of extra protection.

Ok, so here's my problem:
I used to have no problems running games during two first years of using my PC(budget PC bought around 2007-2008) but after that more and more games(even old ones, like from the 90s old) have started to turn my PC off. What's the cause of that? PSU? I have cleaned my PC inside so I don't think it's because of overheating. PC turns off even when a game runs smoothly. I have checked many tech support websites and most of them (around 80%)say it's a PSU issue.
>>53736892
Oh, and one more thing I forgot to mention: when the PC shuts off then fans still keep on turning, the signal to the monitor cuts off and I have to reset my PC.
>>53736892
>>53736910
if everyone says it's a PSU, why don't you try replacing it and seeing for yourself? see if a friend can lend you a spare of try to buy from a seller with a good return policy
What are some good silent case fans? Mine only came with one and I thought of getting a pair more.
>>53736888
Brown is godtire
>>53736948
I will try to find a new PSU then. By the way, do you suspect it might be something other than the PSU?
>>53734567
What should I look for when buying LED light bulbs? I've heard claims of lower quality ones flickering and causing headaches but can't find any sources on that.
Only DVI-D and DisplayPort can actually support my 1440p/144hz monitor fully, right? It came with an HDMI cable but I figured they just throw one in every box since the other model is 1080p/60hz.
>>53737201
if it's shutting down hard, with no BSODs or graphic glitches, everything suggests a PSU issue. these things lose their efficiency over the years, so if you push it hard during games it might not be able to provide enough juice for your system anymore. i'd try getting a higher wattage or better quality one.
>>53736892
Definitely PSU. If even shitty 90s games are beating your shit in it's your system going above what the PSU can provide. Very clear-cut case here.

Mayb craigslist? I think the graphics card would go pretty fast if you sold it separately. Try other websites, maybe even unorthodox ones like reddit (they probably have subreddits or whatever for this shit)
>>53737354
But my question is how would I sell it to somebody long distance? Selling it in pieces is hard. I could ship it out to somebody as a whole. Or I could ship in pieces. How do I get payed reliably? Somebody could easily say it came broken or never arrived and they could basically steal my PC. It happens all the time. Most people in my area don't need a PC like this. Fuck I just want to sell it I never should have bought it.

So I'm using a 802.11n router I got from my service provider
Issue here is that I tinkered around with the settings, knowing full well the differences between standards and channels, and decided to change it from (n,g,b) to just (n) because of the noticeable differences in range. Well apparently the 3DS doesn't have compatibility with the 802.11n standard. So I have to revert back to 802.11g. There is an option to use 802.11n/g together (if that's actually how it works) but it kills the range I had with N.
What would be the best solution to keeping the range I get from 802.11n while being able to maintain compatibility with the 802.11g standard for my 3DS?
>>53737607

Carpal tunnel syndrome. See a doctor. Re-evaluate posture and keyboard position. Get a more ergonomic keyboard, maybe one of those obnoxious split ones. Maybe a wristrest.
>>53737607
Yes, there is a N/G option at least on most routers. Allowing legacy devices makes everything generally a bit slower but not by that much.
Currently I have mine on N only for better performance, then have my Linux torrent box (with wired connection to the router) putting up a B/G network using hostapd as needed for legacy devices. A second router with its upstream port connected to one of the N router's switch ports would work equally well.
>>53737732
What is even the point of having router A? Why not make routers A and C the same one?
Is it possible to damage a PCB by removing capacitors? They usually come clean off but couple of times i managed to pull one out with a snot of solder on it.
I mean they don't look as fragile as micro usb for example, where you can rip out tracks out of mobo, they go all the way through.
>>53737732
>router A
So basically its just a damn switch.

https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/sky/sr102
>>53737793
You can damage things the same way as with the Micro USB plugs. Usually they come out just fine, but yank too much or heat the pads too hot and they will separate from the PCB. Old or cheap PCBs are more prone to this.
Should I upgrade my 120GB SSD to a 256 or should I just splurge for a 500GB?

Don't use vlc, instead go for Kawaii Codec Pack, assuming you're on Windows.
(Or mpv on linux)
>>53737865
Why would you need to upgrade? Just get another one.
>>53737879
>Kawaii Codec Pack
>Not mpv for Windows
cum on m8, step it up
>>53737886
Mpv on windows is pretty bad though.
It can't even read all files in a folder.
>>53737886
This is a stupid question thread, not a stupid advice thread.
can you program apps for iOS devices with Windows or is it a pain in the ass and will the results suffer?
>>53737899
Who cares, most people just double-click the movie they want to see and get done with it.
mpv just werks, no need for a shitty codec pack, pretty much like VLC works.
>>53737947
Too much work and the end result still requires a MAC.
>>53737963
>movie
We literally just established he was watching anime, which usually comes in multiple episodes.
>mpv works just like VLC!
And we just said VLC doesn't work.
You also don't know what KCP is.
So I was cleaning my room and in the process, I decided to move my computer.
I unplugged and replugged all the cables, and now my second monitor isn't being detected. I know it works, I know the cable is OK, but for whatever reason Windows 7 just doesn't know it's plugged in.
I've updated drivers, rolled back the drivers, tried to roll back a Windows update that happened right before I moved it, however I don't think that update was related at all.
What gives? Did my card give out right when I unplugged my monitor?
Hoping someone could give me a hand...
>>53737963
Retard, you just run the KCP installer and all you do after that is double click a file to play, how's that difficult or any diff from VLC? Also no stupid config files like MVP has, "it just werks" as a retard like you would say.
This error keeps showing up on Appchanx (I am using Opera + Download Chrome Extension)
How do I get it working again? It was fine 30 minutes ago
>>53737999
Is your card actually secured in place? i.e. did you screw it onto your case? Sometimes people forget when testing.
>>53737865
As he said, I would get another one and run them side by side. Get a 256 mushkin for like $80. If you want, go for 512, but be careful.. some 512s don't have as good as performance as 256s.
If you want what I would do, I would buy 2x256 and run them in RAID0 stripe. Or buy a really nice PCI SSD.
>>53737997
>We literally just established he was watching anime, which usually comes in multiple episodes.
mpv works with multiple episodes. Yeah, on Windows.
>And we just said VLC doesn't work.
mpv =/= VLC
>You also don't know what KCP is.
Unneeded bloat for your computer.
>>53738016
Whatever, if his computer can't handle playing a file with VLC, KCP most likely won't make it any better, yeah, it will play the file but I hope he likes stuttering.
>Also no stupid config files
Why would you need those in the first place is beyond my understanding, like I said, it works. Done. Maybe an autist like you can explain it to me.
Stay with your meme pack, I'll enjoy my hassle-free media player.
Hello anons, retard here.
I bought a new 4TB SSD hybrid and I want it to just completely replace my old 1TB HD which is slow, probably gonna die soon, and all around is just shit.
I don't know how to partition a boot drive, I don't even know if I should make a SSD hybrid a boot drive, and I don't know how to get everything on it except for dragging my entire C folder over there which probably doesn't work.

>>53738094
This computer was my first build, so that's something I hadn't considered. Thanks for that recommendation. If that doesn't work, is there something else you would recommend?
>>53738127
Just google how to clone hard drive partitions.
Hybrid drive should be fine for main (boot) drive. I would prefer an SSD, but if your hybrid has enough flahs it should be up to par.
>>53738140
Even if it isn't mpv is a better option.
>>53738204
>clone hard drive partitions
That's a thing? Holy shit.
However, I do scan and everything comes up clean, but theoretically if there was a virus, it would clone the virus too right?
>>53738223
Not for Windows, since it's missing features.<
Can't even play multiple files!
>>53738141
You can't.
>>53738084
Aaand it is back again

>>53738241
Most people just double-click the file they want to see and call it a day.
If he wasn't using that feature in the first place does it really matter?
>>53738226
Yep. Run it with something like adwcleaner or maybe combofix if you're not sure.
For shjobs like that i use hiren's boot cd. Burn the iso or make bootable flash drive, boot it. There's a clonedisk in there or ghost32 dependig on version. Just triple check when selecting source and destination disks or you'll clone the empty onto your current one.
>>53737281

There are no BSODs or graphic glitches, so that's probably it. Any good manufacturers you would recommend?

Red pill me on this piece of shit. Good tablet? Good laptop? Not going to play games on it so the Intel GPU will suit me fine, just wondering if there's any glaring issues with this thing.
Probably going to get the model with an i5 processor, 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage.
Really need something that's portable as heck yet runs full Windows so I can dump my old computer and use this as a desktop replacement instead while using it as a tablet in bed and elsewhere for media consumption.

That looks like maybe a bit much for what I'm trying to do. I just want to simply copy the 900gigs of shit I have on my old HDD to my new one, and make it bootable. Can I just drag and drop everything, or does that not work for the OS?

Yesterday when I started my PC I got an error message with ''overcurrent detected on usb, shutting down to prevent mobo damage'' or something like that so I unplugged my cases front USB ports from the mobo and it fixed it

I was under the impression that all hard drives have at least a few reallocated sectors, since statistically at least some are bound to be bad even right out of the factory.
If I install the ATI drivers and untick their new settings app on the installation will it install the full-featured Catalyst instead? Or do I need to manually go and download the installer for an older driver to install that?

I'm still new at programming, and currently learning Java. I was just wondering, when is it exactly a good idea to use multiple methods in one class? Is there any golden rule or general rule of thumb to using multiple methods?
Would you go for 1440p in a monitor or 144hz?
Would you get a 144hz monitor and use a 60hz monitor as a secondary monitor?
Do people in call centers listen to you when you're on hold?
I know the other day my mom was really chewing one of them out and then she got put on hold, 10 minutes went by and I told her "you know she's probably going to leave you on hold for an hour because you pissed her off" and then literally two seconds later she was back on the line, it was somewhat suspicious to me.

>>53740803
Multiple public methods? When your class does more than one thing.
Multiple private methods? Whenever it makes your code easier to understand, or whenever you find yourself doing the same thing multiple times.
>>53740807
No, I went 4k single @60 and don't care about dual monitor setup any more, at all.
>>53740807
Is your PC strong to even play games at 144FPS?
Is your PC strong to even play games 1440p at 60FPS?
both 144hz monitors and 1440p monitors require a beastly PC, unless your just gonna play CSGO.
>>53740803
Usually it is better for other classes to access a public method than it is to manipulate fields directly.
Besides that, any time you feel an additional method would make your code more concise or easier to understand I wouldn't hesitate to make one.

>>53740701

I tried to record a CD-RW, using Windows 7 ISO burner, but...

What does that mean?
The Microsoft help site is shit. Nobody knows anything, just:

No, I built it ~3 years ago no issues. The RAM did act up about a month ago when the power went out for a few mins. I had to reseat the RAM to get it to boot but it worked up until a few days ago when I noticed a huge slowdown and saw I only had 4GB of usable RAM, despite there being, and windows even seeing that there are 8 GG installed.

I moved the RAM to the other two DIMM slots and all 8 GB are usable again. I must have a bad DIMM slot or something but it's resolved now.

well at least you figured out the issue
I always watch youtube videos on 2x speed, can I somehow do that on my samsung tablet? are there apps for that or any solution? requesting the desktop-site doesn't seem viable.
what does /g/ use for mounting .bin/.cue files? preferably something that isn't filled to the brim with adware
You know how on Android you can open up the task manager and click "clear ram" and it clears a bunch of back ground programs that are eating up ram? Is there a way of doing that on windows?
>>53741937
No because windows doesnt need to.
Android is just unoptimized as fuck and lets stuff run in background without closing it because "The OS can manage it"
>>53742148
bullshit, try running Android on 512mb of RAM, the memory management is going to close everything including system apps so efficiently that your phone will be almost unusable.
Manual RAM cleaning on Android is retarded.
>>53741937
log off and back on
whats a web-based tax service so i dont have to install their shit on my pc? its a simple ass tax and probably free
Why is being a code monkey considered a bad thing?
It sounds like a real comfy job for anyone that enjoys, and does not suck at, programming. Also compared to most trades, the pay seems to be good, if you have a degree.
>>53742238
which country and which sub-section of that country??
>>53742280
Because its basically the shit factory worker of the CS world.
you're not designing or implementing anything cool, you're just the bitch that gets told to type out hello world 1000 times.
I mean if all you want to do is type shit out onto a computer with minimal brain function then its a great job. But most people find it horrible and stressful because its so boring and pointless.
>>53742320
Oh boo fucking hoo man. The vast majority of humans don't do creative and innovative shit on a job. Especially in a world economy that is FAR less concerned about innovation than putting out something shiny that'll make money.
I'm getting many Blue Screens of Death on Windows 7:
>MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
>PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
How can I discover why and stop this shit?
>>53742352
Seriously man? He asked and I answered.
Its not about being "innovative or creative" its about using your knowledge and brain power for some purpose. You might not be making the next google, but you would be optimizing xxmaso's search functions or databases.
As a code monkey you're just basically typing in functions off a piece of paper.
if that's all you want to do then feel free, its just that most people don't want to do that, that's why being a code monkey is seen as a shit job.
>>53742320
I feel >>53742352 raises my point. I'm not aiming to revolutionize the world of technology, but rather get by as comfy as possible.
Writing code that "isn't cool" doesn't really bother me, and what part of getting assigned easy pajeet-tasks all day becomes stressful?
So I'm working with low level C io and structs.
For some reason my integers are being overwritten with weird negative values before I even get around to reading values.
Anyone got an idea what the fuck it is?
>>53742417
>what part of getting assigned easy pajeet-tasks all day becomes stressful?
You feel that your life has no measning and would be better to be dead.
>>53742417
I mean yeah it seems strange why you'd want a difficult job. But when you're sitting there doing nothing with your life at 50 still making 60k it really does get boring and stressful.
Of course this is highly dependent on the person, maybe you're the type that can do it. I just can't stand doing basic work all day, it stresses me out to all hell so I'd never want to do it.
but code monkies also make quite a bit less money than what I guess are "real programmers". its enough to live comfortably by yourself in an apartment, nothing special, if you have a family your wife will probably have to pick up a small job as well.

So I recently got a WRT1200AC for free. Is there any reason to use it over a Belkin Connect N150?
>>53741933
>checked
the only thing /g/ mounts is a their inflatable gf
>>53742455
Oh..
>>53742469
I see your point. But is it not natural, or common rather, to move towards the "real" programming jobs after having worked as a monkey for a few years?
>>53742541
linksys > belkin
just try it out for a while who cares, if you dont like it better then switch back
>>53742565
It depends if you're actually wanting to move up.
Typically code monkey jobs are given to dropouts and interns. Interns usually move up once they graduate, other people can move up if they start doing studying on their own and apply to other places.
As an intro job being a code monkey is fine, its a great way to brush up on programming skills if you're lacking as well. But I was assuming you meant you wanted to stay as a code monkey forever.
But its like any job, unless you're trying to get out, you're going to stay there.
>>53742386
>As a code monkey you're just basically typing in functions off a piece of paper.
If I could make the same money doing this as I did working an actual stressful job, that is perfection. It's nice having autonomy in my work, but I'd rather have stress free easy work. And then everyone I know would still think I'm a big shot for having a computer job.
>>53742480
Which is the best way to remove and create new swap files?
>>53742666
>stress free
its a different kind of stress. personally I'd say its worse stress.
and that's not including the
>you have to type X amount of code every week or you're fired
shit.
>>53742687
uhhh computer properties > performance or some shit >set the page file to 0 or some shit, you have to reboot so fuck...
yeah you should defrag while you are at it

You mean the memtest.exe on my computer? Not something I have to download? Because the memtest in my x86 folder is giving me some interesting results. Namely, "application cannot be run in Win32 mode."
Steam is giving me an error of similar flavor; "In order to run Steam properly on this version of Windows, the Steam service component must be installed."
Is it safer to keep stuff in an encrypted usb pen drive (encrypted on windows using diskcryptor) or on the persistent volume of a usb pen drive with tails?

Professional reviewers like Sam Machkovech from Arstechnica claim that you can barely tell the difference between flac and mp3, making pricey PMP like Pono a total scam.
How far could you go with this? Keep in mind I am just asking for advice so I may decide if I should go the extra mile to get the DAC module on the LG 5 or some meme player. I enjoy a good amount of classical music and maybe listening to that sort of thing alone could warrant spending on meme headphones etc.
>>53742920
Unless you're a major /mu/ fag it won't make a difference.
Its like JPGs vs BMPs
>>53742890
OK, I did.
>>53742480
DOS CHKDSK?
I have a 1TB disk, will it take all night to check?
How about using SeaTools?
>>53742920
It's a stupid argument, since different .mp3 files can have different bitrates.
The difference between a 128kbps .mp3 file and a .flac file is night and day. Anybody can hear it.
A 320kbps .mp3 and a .flac file though...
>>53742920
The volume on phone is pretty low. Classical music has a lot of quiet moment when you can barely hear what's going on, so yeah i think it would be worth it. The player would let you have quality and volume, and the headphones woukd give some isolation if you listen to music in noisy places. Honestly i belive i'm able to recognize a flac from an mp3, and i like flac because i like having a perfect copy of the music.
And i mean... Listening to music on phones is fucking cheap
Firefox is crashing too much and started annoying me with this problem.
How can I discover why is it happening?
Is $75 worth it for one of these?

yes, the VR porn alone makes it worth it

Looking at Fiio X1 from a bit of research but am waiting to see how HTC 10 and LG 5 with DAC turn out before I jump on that.
And noisy places I do in Uni.
>>53742953
Well it's interesting I don't mind mp3 for the most part and my streaming music I normally listen to but I have noticed some interesting quality listening to flac I downloaded and listen on PC363d.
>>53738816
You can't trust all the shills out there in google search, yes there are in /g/ but at least you have a chance of a gud opinion here.
>>53738722
Get and X260 instead or XPS 15 perhaps. You would be fine with surfacebook but that is a huge investment.
THIS THREAD REACHED BUMP LIMIT.
WE NEED A NEW ONE.
Well, this is my last resort.
So, I'll explain my situation, I used to have a shitty PC, quad-core AMD 2.3ghz, and shitty MOBO and with 4gb RAM with a GTX 560 SE and it run my games fine.
After I upgraded my PC to pic related, all my games started to crash for some reason, I've tried to change the OS (going back to Win7 Ultimate) and updating drivers and my games still crash. It only happens with "new" games like Half-Life 2 onwards when graphics and engine in games started to be improved. However this does not happen with "simple" games such as Visual Novels, indieshit and older games like Half-Life 1.
What the fuck is happening? Is this a bottleneck problem? I don't know what to do anymore, I just wanted to play some Euro Truck and GRID.
Watching movies and using programs is fine, it's just games that crash after some minutes. Really annoying.
can you upgrade your windows 10 that came bundled in laptops, say from Home, to Enterprise?
maybe even in a non-legit way?
