What is the best non-Firefox browser, /g/?
Been using IE 11, and it's fast AF and super safe, but it is (yet again) falling behind Chrome in features.
Firefox sucks mega ass, though, so do NOT recommend anything by Mozilla.
Should I just start switching to Chrome? Or what about Edge? I NEED a couple add-ons for Edge, but I haven't heard jack shit about when MS is ACTUALLY going to open up the platform...
What's the simplest program for cutting video? It doesn't need to do anything else other than that.
>>54383158
Chrome, what the fuck are you using IE for?
>>54383244
Windows Movie Maker does that...
It allows you to split the video and even preserves audio on each side.
Unless you got a Mac or Linux, in which case IDK.
>>54383299
Oh lel I didn't know you could still get that post-XP. Thanks. SQT indeed.
>>54383296
it starts noticeably faster than Chrome and its security is integrated with Windows Defender.
That's why I've been doing it.
Without integration of my security software, I'm a little leery of going to Chrome.
How much does Chrome automatically protect if you accidentally click a bad link? Does it either refuse to run the scripts or alert the OS?
How ridiculously unqualified can I be and still work in tech support? I'm currently looking for a part time job during college and all I'm finding are call center style tech support gigs. I'm assuming that as long as I'm not completely retarded I'll be okay. However, if I ever wanted to get hired as in house tech support for a company what should I bother learning? I'm thinking that certifications might be useful, but I don't quite know where to start.
I also have the option of just going for a CS degree, but since I'm shit at math and I have little to no desire to go into programming on a professional level I feel like that would be pretty pointless.
I have a thinkpad X1 Carbon and for some reason the touch sensor isnt turning on during unlocking, making me use the pasword instead like a fucking idiot. does anyone know how to fix this?
When a computer website lists the specs, what does "1 DIMM" mean?
Specifically, does this mean there is only one DIMM slot on the motherboard? Or, does it mean that the included memory is only occupying one of the DIMM slots?
"8GB DDR3L SDRAM (1 DIMM)"
>>54383427
it means you have 1 RAM chip installed
So, that's 1 x 8GB DDR3 RAM
What would be the best antivirus for a small business (5 computers)?
I was thinking in getting Norton Security Plus.
I'm scared of that virus that encrypts all your data.
>>54383476
oh yeah, to follow up on that, I'm not sure how many free slots you have, I just know you have 1x 8GB RAM installed.
You'd have to check something that specifically tells you how many slots.
Try Speccy or CPU-Z
>>54383476
Cheers. I guess I'd have to find the motherboard info to check how many slots there are?
>>54383496
>>54383503
Thanks.
>>54383495
For a business, I would recommend: NOT Norton.
For further description, read on:
>McAfee
>Kaspersky
>NOT Norton
>Trend Micro
>Malware Bytes
>NOT Norton
>DEFINITELY NOT NORTON
I hope this helped.
>>54383349
Use a better AV if you care about security
Is there a difference between WD Reds, Greens, Blue, Black? Or is just marketing meme?
>>54383548
Well, the thing is, there's nothing wrong with WD. I've literally NEVER had a problem since I stopped paying for AV software.
Anytime I clicked something dangerous, IE would block it and have me redirect to my home page.
Less than 10 seconds later, WD would remove it and have me restart.
>>54383349
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/res/chrome/en-GB/more/security.html
>>54383528
Thanks, also, do you think it's worth to get the small business version for such a small business?
It seems to be kinda overkill, should I just get the home version?
Can new rasp pi output 5.1 audio
Everytime i try post an image on the chan,firefox and chromium just crash
What do?
What is the advantage of using Firefox over Chrome? I ask because I already use Chrome and a bunch of add-ons that I find very useful. Is the extra burden on internal memory really noticeable to you guys? If so, when?
>>54383628
Yeah and I've never had a problem without AV but you seemed to have security concerns
Though if WD fails detecting something, chances are you won't even know
free AV solutions like avast have over 99% detection rate compared to around WDs 90% according to avcomparatives
I dunno why but this radio app live stream keep skipping back every fifteen minutes and play in a four minute delay(low does a live stream play four minutes in delay anyways?) Now I get these messages. It is really annoying. What the hell is up?
>>54383664
A lot of AV software actually includes a license for 3-5 PCs anyway. And upgrading ones that don't can usually be done.
Here, check this offer. It's for McAfee.
says it's unlimited devices
1 yr/$24.99
http://smile.amazon.com/McAfee-Total-Protection-Unlimited-Devices/dp/B010P91LYY/ref=pd_sim_65_4?ie=UTF8&dpID=51fjlD1giuL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR119%2C160_&refRID=1TSX008T5H91396HW12J
Something like that is one possible option
>>54383761
I tried Avast, actually. It used up a ton of system resources, and it only worked for like a year before wanting me to buy.
I suppose I could just grab another few small ones.
>>54383767
I'll be the one asking about why the fuck would you even consider mcafee? the av with a horrible rep
>>54383629
hmmm, that's interesting. I forgot Chrome has sandboxing. I'll look more into it.
>>54383732
> extra burden on internal memory
The only time icecat (free fag version of firefox, basically the same thing) used up a lot of memory was when I was on one of my monthly porn/hentai rummages I had to open about 800 tabs of download pages before my browser started to spill over into my swapspace. I got 16 GB ram and about 1-2 GB were already in use by other programs so it's not really worth losing sleep over in regards to ram
>>54383793
I am asking about Chrome memory usage though.
>>54383793
not person you were talking to, but holy shit!
How can you EVEN need that many tabs/much porn?
My entire hentai folder is only...
1,614 files @ 1.11GB atm...
>>54383817
Oh. Well then I don't use Chrome
Does anyone know how to get rid of this?
I don't plan on giving my hard earned shekels to Microsoft.
>>54383817
he actually did answer your question... in a rather asinine and indirect way.
He's saying Firefox wasn't a problem with memory for him until he had like 800 tabs open.
On the other hand, I hate the shit out of FF
JBL LS 305, KRK Rokit 5 G3, Yamaha HS 5 powered by a Focusrite 2i2
>>54383732
>noticeable?
Yes, chrome is faster
>>54383841
Install gentoo you piece of shit poo eater
Need a new mouse, mine is falling apart.
CM Xornet II or Corsair M40?
Xornet being a quarter cheaper.
>>54383732
Why does it matter?
Did you buy your RAM to not use it?
Did you buy your processer to not use it?
You are telling programs to do things,they do it in the RAM.Why would you except any other thing to happen?
TL;DR USING RAM IS GUD THING
When can we expect the next generation of VR headsets? Is it worth getting one now?

>>54383783
Task manager never showed it using more than a few % for me though
I use nothing but reinstalling OS and VMs now though
>>54383832
Not home right now so i cant screenshot my folders for proof but my hentai folder is pushing 1.5 TB and about 400 GB JAV ranging across 4 HDDs
I chose a target website and opened up every hentai (they had a list where they show everything from #-Z so I just ctrl + clicked every one) so I could go through and inspect each one to see if I want to download or not. It usually takes a day or two. My collection is hand picked. I've got something like 200 still qued to download with jdownloader and another 100 on qbittorrent
This is what I do with my free time. I could go into more detail but that's probably not need.
>>54383764
is that DI.FM? I stopped using it because of the redesign. Would not be surprised they are trying to get you to buy premium to remove those.
>>54383616
Reds and greens are budget garbage, only good for rarely used storage.
Blues 1TB and smaller are quality, over 1TB they're slightly faster, less garbage greens.
Blacks have the speed advantage over blues when you've over 1TB and have vibration protection you will want if you plan to use it in a laptop.
>>54383920
It always slowed down my startup time, at least.
Maybe I could try it again... or add Malware Bytes again.
>>54383934
damn.
>>54383945
It is. What is a better app? I tried to play it today out of the norm and it is still skipping back with delayed playback, very fucking annoying. Pandora works fine so it is something wrong with the app. I tried contacting tech support but they never responded back.
>>54384004
That's because avast scans stuff during start up for some advanced safety stuff I don't know about, it can be disabled in settings
>>54383883
Brendan Iribe, the CEO of Oculus, has indirectly suggested ~2018 for the CV2.
>less than the console lifecycles of five plus years, and closer to the smartphone iteration time of one year
Likely additions are a FOV increase, better screens, and/or a front mounted camera a la the Vive's Chaperone system.
>>54384011
If you like trance and progressive, try AH.FM. But don't expect anything if you like other kind of stuff. Sometimes it has techno,
>>54383969
If cost was not an issue would you use blacks for a nas with plex, or stick with reds?
On Facebook, how come I can't see messages from someone until I personally message them?
Ex. Someone says they messaged me, don't see it, click on their name and msg them, I see the msgs.
Theyre NOT on my friends list.
>>54384035
ohhhh.... that's interesting.
However, regarding the expired year-long trial, what do?
Can I just get it for free again?
apparrently ntfsclone is ntfsclone -O DEST SRC
not ntfsclone -O SRC DEST
how fucked am I? the destination was supposed to be an empty NTFS partition so I think it just wrote over the filesystem itself. can I recover the filesystem?
>>54384053
If they're not on your friend list, their messages go to your "other" folder.
It's stupid, but whatever.
How can I mount an external HDD? I get the error of having a missing NTFS signature.
Will writing an NTFS signature to the drive format it and erase everything? I have ntfs-3g installed but have never used it.
>>54384072
I can't see that on mobile. Am I stupid or is it not a feature (using Chrome fb)
>>54384051
If cost was not an issue I'd use WD Blacks for everything, all the time. Cost is always an issue though, but the cost of a Black is still cheaper than the cost of a replacement. I guess the question is... do you feel lucky?
I am having a problem with my PC and I have no idea how to troubleshoot it. If I leave it unattended it will turn off, but the mobo is still receiving power (fans and leds still on). No signal through HDMI and I cannot produce any software noise by mashing the keyboard so I think the OS is fully shut down.
Also when I restart there will again be no display but fans run. On the second reset the machine posts and boots normally.
I have heard this could be a PSU related issue but I have a PSU tester that says it is fine. Any ideas?
I've got a block of <divs>'s for my main body.
How do i space down to add other content?
Okay. Language agnositc, how do I start a program as a daemon?
I have a client file and the daemon file. I need to call the daemon from the client so that the daemon itself is not affected by the callers (the client and it's parent the shell). Do I just fork into the daemon?
>>54384111
>do you feel lucky?
Currently no, my back up hd is dying. Is a Seagate.
Looking to build a nas. So I guess I'll go with a couple blacks for now.
>>54384232
man program
Normally you just specify it in the command.

OH! I just typed man daemon. I feel stupid now. Thanks anyway
>>54384372
You never mentioned what program you were running.
Guy my Samsung s5 mini is acting weird, s voice opening automatically, songs pausing and playing and being skipped forward, my volume going up and down by itself, any ideas what's happening?? Any help very much appreciated.

Been having a problem on my Windows 10 laptop where audio is very quiet when watching video files. It happens in both MPC-HC and VLC. Volume in everything else is normal - music, games, videos on the web, that's all fine - it's just when watching actual video files.
Anyone know what might be causing this? It's pretty irritating.
My LMB has started to double-click unfortunately.
Tried finding an /mg/ but only got /csg/ which I don't want.
So whats the standard mouse these days, preferably with 2 thumb buttons. Don't need any more.
whats the difference between dns cache poisoning and arp poisoning?
arp has something to do with local networks and MAC? but both want to send you to a different, malicious website???
Is it at all possible to randomise my filenames so they follow the same pattern but are mixed up and a bit more randomised?
I'm a bit tired of looking through my reaction images in the same order all the time
Trying to connect two computers via ethernet. Last time it worked, but now they won't show up. In Network/Sharing Center (running win8.1 and win7 on machines) it's showing that they're recognizing that they are connected to something. It's just showing up as unidentified network and won't show up in explorer.
>>54384664
are they both part of the same workgroup/homegroup?
So I installed a new heatsink in my laptop and thats what I got when i restart my pc. What happened and what can I do?
>>54384696
Ask for help in the thinkpad thread.
>>54384678
Last time I did it I did it without homegroup cause something wasn't working. If homegroup worked I wouldn't bother to run through ethernet.
Laptop is shit and has no working usb ports/disc drive, and something is up where the version of windows it's running isn't compatible with homegroups run on 8.1 and what not, or something like that. I don't remember the specifics.
I just remember last time I transferred my files, it worked rather simply and i'm not sure why it isn't this time.
I'm pretty new to android so I got this cheap Moto E with 4 gb of storage I can only use 2 of them. Is there anything I can use to free most space on it like installing a distro like puppy linux? Something real light that doesn't eat all storage, it's literally filled with bloat from my telephone company and google
is there a good program for vectoring pixel art images? i tried inkscape but it shits itself if you use an image bigger than 10 pixels
>>54384761
Get a 16/32GB MicroSD?
>>54384761
I don't mean actually installing puppy linux, I mean it's android equivalent
>>54384717
ok m8
>>54384789
depends on if it's locked or not. there isn't really a android equivalent other than aosp without gapps, but then you make a lot of compromises
I know this isn't tech support, just looking for some ideas here
my computer crashes when i launch certain games, not all just certain ones, haven't been able to identify a common thread between them
the cpu and gpu are stable, I think it's a driver issue, ive tried 2 beta and 2 stable drivers and none have fixed the issues
I think it might have to do with some registry files or fragmented files or something with windows, any way to test this?
I've uninstalled with DDU everytime for the drivers, too
>>54384839
Check windows event viewer to check why it crashed.
what scores for speed do you guys get for IBT on max settings?
I just got 43.27gflops for my OC'd 8350, time was 1079 seconds for 16gb of ram (with linpack using about 13-14)
is that ok?
>>54384852
problem is it's a soft crash, the game window freezes, everything still runs in background, if I ctrl+alt+delete, then it shows the grey background for the menu, but I can access anything, stays frozen until I reboot, so I dont get any output
unless event viewer shows that kind of thing
I am building my own PC by placing new components into a used dell because I am a min wage employee who cannot afford to do all out new.
I was planning on using the hard drive that came with it, but while taking apart the pc I noticed it had a sticker saying something along the lines of "this hard drive has been wiped in compliance with dod standards." Obviously it was in former gov usage. Would any of you continue to use this? I am not just building a PC for my childish video games, I will be doing my banking, college work, etc on it.
Should I just replace it? I know that the thing was wiped before it came into my hands but it is still unsettling to see it.
>>54384541
Did you try changing the programs volume indepentialy?
exp:
VLC:Volume 2%
Windows: 80%
>>54384917
If you are paranoid, save and get one.
It should be 1TB $42 max.
Dont cheap top building your PC, its something you do once every 3-5 years.
>>54384917
>still unsettling to see it.
why? the ghost of old DoD contractor data won't hurt you.
if you're really afraid you might have some leftover confidential shit on there,
1: it's not your problem
2: wipe it again

Gonna change monitors, from 1080p to 1440p
2 options
Buy 2 monitors and like 6 months later buy some bookshelf speakers
or
Buy a single monitor and said speakers and later buy the other display
\>>54385005
>I want to buy things
>please help me by magically guessing my budget options
no
>>54385005
>Gonna change monitors, from 1080p to 1440p
For what possible reason?
Sorry for advance for shitting up /sqt/ with my shit but,
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/TXCs6h
How's my build?
>>54385043
look for a cheaper case, try the fractal core series, and look for a cheaper psu. with MIR you can get a 550w or something like that from corsair for like 20-30 bucks
take saved money and get a hyper 212 and OC the shit out of that pentium, otherwise you'll run into some issues with cpu heavy games
you could always go used on ebay too and get a way better rig, specifically the gpu. you can find used 7970s for like 120-150, which will smash the fuck out of the 950
>>54385005
why change?
also, can you drive 1440p well?
and i would go with monitor and speakers, use old 1080 as second screen for now and enjoy sweet music now too
>>54385043
Please don't do this to yourself.
>putting an SSD before RAM
>on a budget build
wew
Just save up more money for a decent build.

Got this shit from my boss and shoved a spare 250GB hard drive in it and an extra gig of RAM (2GB Total). What can I use it for that isn't gaming/emulator related?
What should I do when this happens?
>>54385338
power button and volume down button at the same time.
>>54385368
Its a Dell DCTR if anyone's interested, don't know what the exact model is, but it came like that with the screen and computer attached to a carrying handle
>>54385403
I've tried this a billion times but it just doesn't work. have a Galaxy s5 btw
>>54385338
>>54385416
it depends on the phone
i use an s3 and it's home and power
>>54385422
use S4 and I can agree, I think its identical on all Samsung phones
>>54385416
then you are not on android, but rather TouchWiz.
power button plus home button or use the swipe gesture (pic related)
>>54385453
the gesture worked

Why is Microsoft so heavy-handed when it comes to updates?
I just lost an hours worth of work because I put my laptop down, walked away and an hour later, found that it restarted without any sort of indication that it did.
Granted, these are the default settings, but case and point, why does Microsoft try to hide something so intrusive?
>>54385540
because microsoft couldn't give half a shit what you want as long as you're using windows and also wants you to switch to autosaving cloud services.
It's tin foil tier but it's tru m9
I have an image with no extension but it can be opened in a image viewer. The url of the image doesn't have any extension either. It's most likely a jpeg or png but how do I find out its extension so I can rename it with it?
I've installed webstorm twice on ubuntu and both times they were working for the first few hours then it stopped working (the icon becomes a grey question mark). whats going on
Not EXACTLY a Tech question but it has to do with a discount for a piece of hardware. When a discount says "expires 5/6/16" does that mean it'll expire when it becomes the 6th? Or is the 6th the last day to get in on that deal?
>>54385540
why don't you save your work?
>>54385703
None of these are real right?

How come firefox is having trouble loading large images on 4chan? Is it 4chan X or is it firefox?
>>54385368
It's a computer. You can use it for computery things.
I've compiled a short list of examples for you since you seem to be at a loss when it comes to what you can do with a computer:
>Shitpost on 4chan
>Install Gentoo
>Set up a server of some kind
>Write documents
>Write some software
>Shitpost on facebook
The possibilities are endless, anon.

I think I get it but can someone confirm if my I'm understanding this correctly?
I have an old USB 1.0 SD card reader, meaning at most it can transfer 12 Mbit/s. So it's going to bottleneck any modern day SD card? Like if I have an SD card with an advertised write speed of 40 Mb/s, I'll only get 12, right?
I'm trying to use downthemall to download entire threads of images from an archive.moe successor. I'd like to not download all the links to searches. None of the regexes I use work. How do I?
What ad blocker does /g/ recommend?
I used adblock but it recently asked for new permissions to read and change all web data so its disabled now.
It's so surreal being spammed with ads everywhere and videos. Feels like I'm on TV.
>>54386432
ublock orgin and umatrix
>>54386309
No.
USB 1.0 limit is 1.5MB/s, modern SD cards are 40-80+MB/s.
Mb/s != MB/s.
It will bottleneck a lot, just buy a new one, shouldn't be more than $3.
>>54383495
Look at VB100 they list the best av there.
https://www.virusbulletin.com/testing/vb100/
>>54386679
thanks. So if I'm understanding this correctly NOW, USB 2.0 caps at 60 MB/s so if I have a card with 80 MB/s advertised read speed, it would cap out at 60 right? So I shouldn't settle for anything less than USB 3.0, yeah?
>>54386739
USB 2.0 should be enough for an adapter.
For what do you want to use the SD for that you want fast speeds while using an adapter?
>>54386775
it just feels like a waste if I can't get the most out of the card if I absolutely needed to
>>54386821
Well adapters are pretty much to just transfer files, not really to use them at full speed, you will have to search for a good one for what you want it for, sorry i cant help you selecting one.
You still need to have in mind that the USB controllers of the adapters affect speed too.
Example, i have a cheap $1 that works max at 20MB/s because the shitty controller.
How do I into IRC?
Jpopsuki, AB and r/a/dio all have fun looking IRC channels but I always feel like I'm intruding on a private conversation
How do I get to connect and modify a mysql db as normal user in Ubuntu? I can only access the mysql prompt as super user.
>>54386878
You sort of have to just idle there and get a feel for the channel. Don't expect people to necessarily immediately talk to you (since most channels are filled with idlers) and don't try to dominate any conversation, and if they aren't total dildos you should be good.

Is there any way to turn off updates in Windows 10? And I mean off, not downloaded, not installed, nothing.
>>54383067
new to /g/ here but is it safe to post here? my mom just bought me this PC and i dont want to get it hacked
>>54387056
you really, really wouldn't want to.
Look up "heartbleed" and "shellshock" if you want recent examples of what happens when your software isn't properly kept up-to-date (e.g. even lincucks aren't immune)
Are wd reds overkill for a home NAS? It's on 24/7 torrenting (slowly) and at most is doing 2 streams at once, usually one. I have greens in at the moment, but they are about 3 years old.
Will iPhones ever switching from a lightning connector to USB type c/Thunderbolt 3?
>>54387086
Not at all. WD reds are made to be on 24/7
>>54387056
No, stay away from W10.
You can delay them but you are forced to update eventually with PRO.
With Home you have no choice at all.
>>54387083
Bait/10.
>>54387140
I should have figured that there isn't an option. I was hoping there would be a workaround via the community but I'm not surprised. No one is touching that shit.
>>54387140
>You can delay them but you are forced to update eventually with PRO.
source?
AFAIK you can just keep pressing "no"/"ignore"/"postpone" or even write yourself a script to do so
I hope this is stupid enough.
My tp-link modem(?) wireless is giving me 1mb, normally it would give me 10mb, if I connect the ethernet directly to my company's device it gives me the 10mb I used to get, but it gives me 1mb if I connect the ethernet from the tp-link thing, I did everything in the FAQ with no results, the last step on it was to reset to the factory defaults, so that's what I've atm.
What can I do to fix this?
My computer's drivers are up to date and the internet speed is the same lame 1mb on my cellphone and tablet.
It's a TL-WR740N ver 4.
what was that thing called where you run the script and it takes the style of one image and puts it onto another?

>>54388076
If you use a program to decompile the flash file and convert what's inside into a video file, and the video into an animated gif, is it still a swf?
Is all code the same after being compiled?
Say I write a program 1/3 each in C, pearl and pyhton or whatever. As long as each piece is compiled correctly in the end the computer still sees it all as 0's and 1's.
Further to that, why do I often see people talking about developing their piece of software and they say X amount was written in one language, some was written in this one.
>>54388163
perl and python are interpreted languages, not compiled languages. Where are you learning how to program?
>>54388175
bad example, I don't know anything about coding I was just curious.
>>54388163
Everything gets compiled to the same "language" but you could probably tell the difference between e.g., C and C++ if you reverse engineered it, based on how it's structured
>>54387061
This is a joke, right?
Like this can't NOT be a joke...
How do I record webms with OBS?
It's apparently possible because it can use ffmpeg, but although recordinig with ffmpeg is in the settings there's nothing saying webm.

No normal OS does that as far as I'm aware.

Can I Install Elementary OS on a Separate Hard Drive?
Have Windows on C Drive, Have Data on D. Created a partition on D, installed OS from the live usb but when booting says 'no operating system found'
>>54388414
did you install like GRUB boot loader with it? The partition needs to be marked as active, as well
in BIOS or advanced boot options, you should be able to set it to boot from the second drive.
Explain to me, why is it that my core2duo is so slow on websites like Facebook or Instagram, what is it that its slowing my shit down? Is it Javascript?
>>54388427
So I've tried to change the boot order. currently boots C on the SSD, changed to the partitioned HDD D and that's when I get the problem.
I've gone in through disk management, but when I click on the partition I can't mark it active.
I've not installed grub loader. I've just done a install selecting the 'something else' option. I'm not installing alongside in dual boot, i'm trying to make the D boot from elementary when it is above C in the bios boot list.
>>54388458
you need a boot loader to boot an OS.
Windows has its own boot loader, but you need to add something for Linux. That's usually GRUB.
However, if you REALLY wanna do Linux without a bootloader, here's a slideshow on how. Apparently it's not too difficult, you just need hardware-specific Assembly Language code, and you're good to go!
(install GRUB, ffs; I mean, really...)

Any opinions on the Horizontech Arctic clearomizer? I want something with at least 3ml, no less than .5ohms, and 510 threading.
iStick 30W if that helps.
>>54388157
Not really.
>>54388390
Welp, it is a nice idea at least.
Thanks.
>>54388506
So on the C drive, windows has it's own boot loader. On the D drive I've installed Elementary with a swap partition and then created the Os in the remaining space.
How has it not installed a boot loader? Doesn't that happen as part of install?
I've checked the integrity of the download and the disk image as per the site.

I'm using a USB wifi adapter on a Desktop PC, resetting the router hasn't solved it, the set-up used to work fine so I don't think it's the signal being physically blocked or anything like that either.

Need some help here.
Restarted my computer, and upon reboot I got a black screen, no BIOS, no mouse and keyboard LEDs, nothing.
Now, if I disconnect my GPU it works fine, it seems. However, when the GPU is plugged in its LEDs come on.
Is my GPU shot? It's not that old and it's not as though it's been beaten up.
>>54386134
Chanu desu
>>54388715
Anon.
DDR2 is obsolete and out the market, this is why its so expensive.
If your computer is using DDR2 you should upgrade anyway.
Since you are looking for laptop memory i assume you are looking for SO-DIMM which is even more expensive.
Fijate en los precios en amazon mexico, 2GB SO-DIMM DDR2 800MHz salen como en 500 Pesos cada 1.
>>54388724
did you try connecting with a cable to check if its the adapter or something else?

Other than starting at either end and swapping elements if they're on the wrong side, until you come to the pivot position.

Is there some sort of linux guide to help me better understand the way things work?
I don't even know any good applications for things I'd want to do (mediaplayer, notepad, image editor, etc.) I don't even really understand how packages work and I'm afraid I might just be bloating my system because half the time I'll install a bunch, then realize the program that uses them won't work properly on my system, or there's an even better program, or I'm going about the method improperly.
On Xubutu
>>54390471
>I'm afraid I might just be bloating my system
Even the babbie distros don't come with a lot of bloat, the people here are just autistic about saving every kilobyte of space they can.
If you're this much of a noob just stuck to the *buntus or mint and learn how to use the terminal.
Archwiki is pretty useful though for a bunch of linux related things. There's also the /flt/ threads here where you'll usually get your questions answered.
I have an Android-related question.
I want a way of determining whether my app is running (foreground/background doesn't matter) but I'm only interested in Activities, not e.g. Service. So I want a flag that informs me if an Activity is alive. I decided to create a static attribute in a class that all activities extend. and when an activity starts it sets the flag to true. I there a better way to achieve this functionality? I am worried that the garbage collector will just fuck my shit up at some point and reset the value of that flag

How can i make a java program, so that when i double click it, it'll run?

if its coming from 1 IP then you can deal with it, the problem is when its done using a botnet because you dont know who is a legitimate user and who isnt
>>54390589
you mean like a desktop application
you gotta export it as a .jar

I know there are some issues with the case so just ignore that for now. I'm mainly concerned with whether or not all of the parts will fit/work together.
Also, I know that with the arrival of the new pascal/polaris cards the prices of old cards will probably go down, but I think I'll stick with the old generation and take the price cut instead of switching to a new card that costs the same amount.
