What Android phones allow me to root without losing the warranty, either officially or just because it can be done undetectably? I don't have a smartphone, but it's time I get one, plus I could really use it for work, but fuck buying shit don't own.

I friend has an AOC monitor, can't remember the exact brand. Just recently, that monitor tipped over a small drop, popping off its outer bezel. There was absolutely no damage to the screen itself, and the bezel popped back on very easily.
It must have gotten snapped in partially incorrectly, because now the buttons on the bottom do not press in all the way. They used to have a clear click when pushed. This means we can't even turn it on to make sure it's working. We've tried to use a flathead screwdriver and a knife, but we can't pop that bezel back off no matter how hard we try. All it's doing is marking up the plastic. How should I go about this?
>>54086933

No. Just get a x20 or amd equivalent. Mobile gaming on anything but low is stupid. Although on that note what do you want virtualisation for?

Does this mean that it comes in 2 4gb ram sticks or 1 8gb?
>>54087308

>>54087242
Put some force to it. Worst thing that can happen is you breaking some plastic and gluing it back on. Get something really thin but strong, and try to use it as a lever, insted of just pushing apart.
There's also chance when the bezel snapped off you ripped out the button panel connector, might want to check if it didn't pop out of it's socket.

I was asked by someone to take texts off their simple flip phone (in what way exactly, I don't know) so they can use the messages as proof in a court case. I said that if the person denied ever sending the texts, just having what the words written in a text file would not be proof of anything and they would need to get official records from the phone carrier. Are phone records the only way to prove that in court, or is there another way I can take a text sent to a non-smartphone that contains some kind of provable identity of who sent it, or will it just be a text file?
>>54087980
Well 4chan is the best place to ask for legal advice, a cell provider is the only way to show. Even a flip phone isnt proof
The cable of the charger of my laptop is ruined.
I have another charger from an old laptop but the only difference is the amperage.
Current laptop:
Asus charger model ADP-65JH BB
Input 100-240v ~ 1.5A 50-60 Hz
Output 19v 3.42a
Old charger:
Gateway model 0335c1965
100-240v 50-60 Hz 1.7a
Output 19 v 3.42a
Would it be ok to use the old charger or is the .2a difference important?
Do I pull the trigger?
>>54088245

>>54088457
if you're recording/playing video then sequential. if you're playing games or running apps off the sd card then the other one.

I need to filter all stuttering in regex.
I have come up with the following:
/[A-z]-[A-z]/
This will filter posts containing things like "Y-you" or "C-Cute".
However, it will also filter posts that contain "ctrl-z" because l-z matches the pattern.
How do I improve the regex pattern to only match two of the same characters repeating, like a-a, y-y, c-c?
>>54088619
>/[A-z]-[A-z]/
just use/^[A-z]-[A-z]/
i. e. starts with a letter that is repeated
you're out of luck if you stutter mid-word too. state machines like regex simply can't have history like that. you'd have to specify every possible combination/

Just did a Silicon Valley movie marathon (watched all three for the first time, too):
>Pirates of Silicon Valley (1999)
>Steve Jobs (2015)
>The Social Network (2010)
I've never studied programming and I suck at math but I've had a passing interest in that sort of stuff and a huge respect for it seeing as how much of our lives are tech-focused nowadays.
When I got to the opening scene of The Social Network where he exploits the way the university webpages store their pictures, I thought that holy shit, being tech savvy can be really fucking cool. The way these people can navigate with such ease through the world of computers and networking with such intuition blows me away.
My optimism dwindled when I thought about all the boring fundamental shit that many other people like me encounter head-on in their newfound interest in computers and promptly give up.
Then I realized I'm one of those people and I have come to this conclusion many times before - man, fuck spending weeks until I can play code like a fiddle and nerd fizzbuzz shit.
Why did I make this post? I don't know. I'm just spitting pointless words into the void at this point and hoping the void replies something back.

>>54089518
The black screen/stuttering lasts for about 5 seconds, then it suddenly turns off and back on (with maybe ~2 seconds between the off and on). It comes down to if the stuttering is consistent with power failure or if my drivers or whatever got fucked. If it's the latter I've been intending on doing a clean install on my new SSD anyway so no worries, if it's the former I'll have to shell out for a PSU.
It's probably not my newish GPU since it's happened when watching Youtube videos, but if it is I'll be pissed as fuck.
>>54089618
not wierd, doing things that are unrelated or even opposed to each other, makes you a well rounded individual, don't force yourself to be one dimensional just because you think others would think you were weird for pursuing your interests. also what kind of art? art is kind of a vague term that could mean lots of shit

>>54090746
The stalled maymay comes from the "Stalled" status qBit assigns to some torrents. Usually happens for a couple of seconds when you just added the torrent (think of it as "Starting" status), or torrents with zero seeding peers. Some users have reported torrents stalling randomly, but I've never experienced it personally, and I've been using qBit for several months now. Don't know how well it'd work with too many torrents, I only have around 200 at any given time and never had any issues. My only gripe with it is that it assigns double the size of any torrent on your hard drive when you're downloading it, so if you don't have much space that could be a problem.
Transmission got its official Windows port a couple of weeks ago, should work just as well as the Linux version.

the MHZ is different - the speed at which your ram can transfer to and from your system
Higher MHz is better on the same type of "ram", but it is limited by your motherboard. If your motherboard supports 3,000MHz you get a peformance boost. If not, the ram scales back its transfer speed.
cant help you with what ram is gud because I dont know enough.

Hey people, first time poster here.
I was out for the whole day, and when i got back i found my computer off. Which is weird, considering my habits.
Long story short, my mother had to do some petty works and turned off my computer, but not my monitor.
Now, whenever i try to turn it on, it does for...1 second, then blacks out almost completely; if i turn it against the light and such,i can see some outlines of it actually working.
Since my mother has gotten pretty pissy on it ("I just turned it off, it couldn't be me!"), now i require calm help. It worked this morning, what could've happened? Leaving it "on" without ant control might've burned something on the inside? I have no clue, sincerely.

>>54091896
Ah ok, ill try to explain how this works
Nvidia or AMD or whoever design a card right? In this case a GTX 980. That name literally only applies to the chipset, the tiny bit that does all the math and shit on the inside.
Nvidia then sells/licenses these chipsets to other manufacturers, who figure out ways to eek out as much preformance as possible at different price points. Some are better than others.
A reference card is just Nvidia's own attempt.
They make more money off licensing as as a result don't bother too much, and wont make a shitload of cards. As a result they cost more and usually preform worse but look prettier.
An MSI 980 literally IS a geforce GTX980 just the fans and other shit they wrap around the chip.
There is nothing wrong with MSI.
What virtual console do i use with arch?
Im using a t420
>>54086484
>Times New Roman
Times New Roman is a propriatory font (companies have to pay a license fee to use it in their products). I haven't looked at Chrome or FF, but I'm guessing that they each use a font that they each made to look like Times New Roman (basically ripping it off) so that they wouldn't have to pay.
That's probably why the fonts don't match, they're two independent fonts made by two different companies (Google and Mozilla) with the intention of looking like TNR (so there's be small differences between them).

A lot of the popular fonts are copyrighted, Arial is another famous example:

Is there any way to test my motherboard's performance?
I've been getting 0% - 100% load spikes in every demanding game so I thought my GPU (R9 390) was fucked so I sent it in for an RMA.
Just got it back and tested it but I'm still getting the load spikes always.
How do I know if it's my motherboard causing the problem? Could the PCIE slots be all fucked up?
I'm at a loss and I'm mad, haven't played a video game in fucking months.

Hey guys.
How does one use an Nvidia Tesla for gayman?
It is my understanding that unless your Tesla or motherboard has a video port, another Nvidia card is required.
> I-It's too expensive! Just buy a GeForce!
Yeah, shut the fuck up.
There is pretty much zero information on how to do this because of responses like these.
>>54092218
Yeah its any easy misconception to make, also why pretty much every company stopped advertising clock speeds a few years back.

says mine is currently 5376 MB, is this fine or should I change it?

You cant, you can only maybe transfer over physx calculations and shit like that which nobody wants to spend 20,000$ to undertake satisfy your halfassed curiosity.

Are you sure?
Couldn't you reflash the BIOS like some fags do with other cards?
>>54092339
No.
How long do you guys predict it will take for the 980s and 980tis to drop down in price?
>>54092279
that should be fine (if anything you could shrink it and be ok),
Try installing GPU-Z to measure VRM temps and see if you get weird spikes.
Another issue is your PSU might be fucking up with a consistent 12v line, do you know anyone with a multimeter?
I dont know enough about motherboard issues that could be causing it.

Is there a version of this card made by NVidia? Are there any downsides to buying a reference card?

Im thinking about getting something cheap like a 960 to hold me off if the wait for a price drop in 980s will be short enough.
I've been using a lenovo laptop with a broken screen running out to a monitor through HDMI. Instead of mirroring the display, I've been just using the "display on screen 2" option.
I decided to switch the orientation to portrait today but discovered that I couldn't change the orientation in windows when I have it set to only to use display 2 in windows 10. Orientation is just grayed out until I change it to 'mirror displays'.
is there a way to change orientation when just using the second monitor?
I have the option to revert back to windows 8 if I do a factory reset but I'm not sure if that will even work.
>>54092428
I ran a render test through GPU-Z, still getting the spikes.
I do have a multimeter actually.
Thank you for the help by the way, I tried asking at Tom's Hardware but they weren't any help at all. dude literally said "lol idk I don't use amd"
>>54092556
New cards age going to be coming out in a few months, and no doubt gaymerfags are going to be selling their older high-tier shit so they can upgrade.
Chances are prices are going to be high one month before release, spike at release, then die down a month after release and stabilize a month after that.
>>54092596
Do you have power savings disabled in the AMD control panel.

Why is the 980 by MSI like $300 cheaper than the NVidia made one?
>>54092673
What card, a 950 can hold almost 60FPS max settings, so it shouldn't be hard for any other card.
>>54092673
> 1080p
gross
And it depends if it is GDDR3 or GDDR5.
But yeah, I guess.
>>54092678
Buying directly from the manufacturer is always more expensive.

Do you really want to spend 25% more for an inferior product over one made by MSI/EVGA? Do extra letters in the titles of things scare you? These arent some chinese knockoffs.
The only thing ive heard is to stay away from ZOTAC ones.
Nvidia doesnt even advertise their reference cards on their own store, they list the partners first.

whatsapp is owned by facebook, its not safe
I want to have two computers connected to my Ethernet at the same time. I'm using a D-Link in order to have a better connection (and so I don't have to have long cables running through my house from my living room).
Unfortunately the D-Link only has one Ethernet socket so for now I can only plug one computer into the Ethernet.
I thought I could get a splitter or something like that but I keep reading mixed things about how I wont be able to use the internet on both devices at the same time if I do this (which I need to be able to do). Is there anything I can get so that I can take the one plug from my D-Link and then send two plugs to my two other computers so they also have Ethernet?

>>54092678
Because nvidia already made money off MSI's card by licensing the tech

Just get the i5 it'll last you a little longer.
>look at getting a 1440p monitor
>they're around $300
>Nexus 6p has a 1440p screen the fraction the size of a desktop monitor (and thus it's harder to produce a screen of that pixel density)
>it's barely twice the cost of a 1440p monitor even though it has all those other, expensive smartphone components in it + a way higher pixel density
Shouldn't desktop monitors be cheaper now? I'm tired of my phone being the highest resolution screen I own. When will decent 1440p monitors be around ~$200? And how long until 4k is affordable?

I also tried just shorting the power switch on to mobo and got the same results.
My wife has a 650 G2 (opposed to the GS in my computer) and I swapped those out just to get this result
https://youtu.be/VLAI8e9klxA
When I flip on the power switch on the PSU.
Mine flat out did nothing in hers (didn't even power the light on the mobo) when I swapped them. The PSU's are very similar and the cables are all the same so I shouldn't need to swap those too to test the PSU should I? I read that I should try testing my PSU with a miltumeter but the problem is when I went to do that I noticed that none of the wires are colored. Every guide on how to do it involved color coded wires.

Okay, I've never heard or knew what reference cards were until today so pardon me asking these questions.
So; REFERENCE is the original card made by AMD or NVidia while say and EVGA 970 is the exact same card just with custom things like added fans to help cooling?
>>54093229
Correct.
>>54092844
that was the answer. Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer my question. It worked perfectly.
What's the best way to buy stuff online without a display model to review? I want to get a large 1440 Asus monitor but when I drove miles up north to my local Micro Center and the display model was pretty meh compared to the online device.
I also see nice comp chairs online, but surprise surprise ended up feeling like a old shitty wooden chair.
Thoughts? Reviews are sometimes too good to be true.
>>54093257
Jesus I feel like an idiot. So the point of buying reference would be cheaper but at the cost of heat. How would you know if reference is okay for you?
>>54093282
Reference cards push the heat from the back of the case, aftermarket cooler cards push the heat inside the case which you need to push out.
Reference cards are better for SLI configurations.
>>54093329
Or you want to watercool the card too since most watercooling blocks will use the reference pcb as design but there are some that use aftermarket pcbs too so you should look into it before buying.
>>54093329
I have a Silverstone FT02 so the tray is turned 90 clockwise.
I found a Viewsonic p220f new in the box about 3 months ago.
It was great until it died. now it turns on with no picture and it makes a crackling noise
anyone have an idea what the problem is?
someone mentioned that the transformer might be dead. if so, is it replaceable?
thank you for your time

My keyboard is causing my computer to randomly shut down when plugged in
Is there anything I can do that would maybe stop that? Anyone know any likely problems? It's 100% the keyboard and not anything else. I had no idea something like this could even happen, halp

Gigabyte G1 Gaming is best GTX 970.
EVGA seconds best GTX 970
The MSI G4 Gaming 970 third
ASUS shit, everything else shit but excluding some European brand I can't buy here.
In term of sfan noise;
MSI G4 is the most silent GTX 970
Asus Strix second
Gigabyte GTX 970 third
EVGA last.
You shouldn't be looking at anything else,
MSI, Asus and EVGA run the card with the fans off until it hits 60ºC while the G1 970 runs them at 1600rpm at idle, but you can mod the BIOS to get the Gigabyte card to do the same, worthless if you ask me, 1100rpm is practically inaudible and keeps the card at 33ºC while with the cards with the fan off can idle at 40ºC or little more.

It's just an ancient HP one that I've had forever, KU-0841 is the model number. I think it came with an old prebuild computer my parents had. I had a wireless one but hated replacing the batteries and now I can't find the thing to connect it to the computer, so this keyboard is the only thing I can really use. It's working alright now but no doubt it'll shut down the computer again.
That's another thing, it's not crashing so much as shutting down, it shows the normal "Windows is shutting down" stuff when it happens, or it just shuts down when I first load into windows during startup (Like right after you select an OS)
