How do we know someone is using free software compiled from the available source code as is, and not a modified version if that source code (say botnet/spyware attached)?
I'm using 4chan X 1.11.33.2, and I'm getting really fed up of having to manually check "Prefetch Images" on every thread. How can I make it checked by default?
>>54551323
If you're not auditing the code and compiling it yourself you don't know.
>GPU kicked the bucket last night
>Using my laptop hooked into my monitor
>My laptop is shit
>Want to play a game
>Laptop cant handle it at 1600x900
So I want to lower the resolution, but I dont know how to figure out what resolutions will work for it. Like I want to play it at a lower resolution that fits the 1600x900 aspect ration but I am literally too retarded to figure it out or even string together a proper google search (everything I tried gave me shit)
I just want to play Civ5
Wanna make friends, but everyone I meet turns into a dick eventually. High standards? Should I just be the jackass of the group again?
>>54551323
you can't. most of the time checking the integrity of the binary with their hashsums won't work, because it's very hard to recreate the exact same build environment that was used for a binary compiled on another machine. so if you'd compile it again and compared the hashsums they wouldn't match even if both binaries were clean. the only way you can be relatively sure you use clean binaries is to build them from source yourself. with a compiler from a trustworthy source if you want to overdo it.

Hey /g/, I got a free 27 inch apple cinema display from work yesterday. IT said power supply is dead. I went out and bought a voltmeter and suction cups and I'm wondering how I test. I'll keep googling around for guides.
I damaged a SATA port by squishing it with my video card while it had a cable in (I later swapped the cable for a right angle corner type cable, so it wouldn't squish), and now it's all wobbly and can bend out of the motherboard. It'd probably come out if I tugged on it more.
My question to you, /g/, is do I need to buy a new board at all? The port's pretty secure, and everything boots up as normal.
I'm getting a W520 soon and intend to put in a 256GB msata SSD and two 1TB drives. Is it possible to have these 1TB drives set-up in some kind of 'jbod' like way in both Windows and Linux without having the hardware level raid there?
Is there a way to encrypt a sd card that can be read in windows and android?
Assuming both processors were using the same architecture, would a 1.4GHz dual-core chip be faster at playing H.264 video than a 2GHz single-core chip? Let's assume the media player is mpv with hardware acceleration disabled.

Having weird issue with a page i created
All Images is in folder img/
Doing this locally works,but uploading it to the server,none of the pictures work.
What is this fuckery?<div class="box"><span>1</span><img src="img/1.jpg"width="130px" height="200px" /></div>

Only thing I see in the settings is to enable that checkbox in the "triangle menu", there is no option to set its default value.
So to be clear:
I have the checkbox in settings that is labeled "Image Prefetching: Add link in header menu to turn on image preloading." checked, but I still have to check the checkbox it makes appear in the triangle menu every time I open a new thread.

>>54552546
mpv can play back BR's afaik.
You can always remux if no media player works though.
>>54552515
Save your settings then go back to default and see if it works.Its "working here"
Are you using the script or the extension?
>>54552546
Most of them are encrypted and you have to use special players. But on the chance it isnt.mpv will play it fine
>>54552596
I'm not sure what you mean by "saving the settings" and "going back to default", it seems to auto-save any changes done in "settings" as soon as I make them, but nothing changed in the "header menu" persists beyond current tab.
You're telling me if you tick the "Prefetch Images" checkbox on one thread and then close it and open a new thread the checkbox is still checked?
I am using the script via greasemonkey.

Which ROM does /g/ recommend for a Note 2?
>>54552459
Cool. Its going to take some getting used to, but at least I can play now.
Thanks for answering such a retarded ass question
I'm split between getting a new chair, getting a new PSU or getting a new case.
Basically, I have a fuckterrible "design" noname chair that fucks my back and my buttocks.
I also have a CX430M, and even if it works for my configuration (i7 3770/780Ti), its fan is going to die (goes full WRZHHHHHH) and I want to do some SLI at some point.
My case is a Silencio 352 from Cooler Master. It's pretty "OK" except from the ironic fact that for a "silent" case, it's loud as hell (HDDs have no rubber bumpers or shit like that; "isolation" does jack shit). Also to note, impossible to do cable management in this case, there ARE dust filters but they just don't fucking filter shit, except maybe blocking airflow, so I have to have fans at max RPM to get some air in this bullshit case and it's even louder than just with the drives....
I thought about replacing the chair with something like a MARKUS, replacing the PSU with either a Seasonic M12ii 620W or a Corsair RMx 750 and replace the case with a Phanteks EVOLV micro ATX,
So /g/, what's your opinion?
>>54552719
SLI is retarded and not really functional for the reason you would get it.
Chair seems a better investment.Dont get some shitty chair,invest in your comfy down the line,not short term

sometimes when i watch videos or do "intensive" things on my phone (1st generation moto x) it makes a mechanical static "clicking"/static sound from the rear. it's not coming from the speaker and i'm really confused
i can do it consistently by opening a chrome tab and forcing it to crash by opening 500 pages at once. when it goes to the "chrome is not responding" thing it makes the sound
>>54552680
By the way, you can also try resolutions with different aspect ratio from your screen and have it not look terrible by going to your graphics card driver and setting the scaling to something like:
-"preserve aspect ratio" which will stretch the image to cover as much of your screen as it can without losing the ratio
-"no scaling" if you wish to keep the image crisp but it will leave you with black borders around it
You may also have to force the GPU to perform the scaling and not the screen (never did this on laptops but on desktops it's an issue and you often need to force scaling on GPU because the monitor will fuck it up.)
Good luck.
>>54552776
Thank you for your input.
But why and how would it be retarded/not functional? 780Ti prices are going to drop due to 1080 being released and stuff, I know it's not like CF but there's still a gain...
>>54552796
coil whine maybe?
>>54552257
Depends. Do you need the SATA port? Worst case scenario, you can still throw a PCIe SATA controller on the mobo.
>>54552850
Nothing supports sli
Games are buggy as fuck within the nvidia drivers
Nvidia drivers shit them selves randomly
Its just not worth it anymore.
Back in the 400-500 series sure,things were optimized for it.But now,no one bothers,just like dedicated physx cards,tht shit was going to be amazing shit,and it flustered out pathetically when it was integrated in to normal gpu and software
Its just a fad from the past.
>>54552257
No, if it comes out just use another SATA port.
I have xls with float numbers with 10+ digits after dot, when Iam trying to export it to txt, it only export part thas is visible in row on exel.
Like 15.2311746817461 and in txt it is 15.2310
How to export full rows?
>>54552880
I'm getting worried? Should I replace my 780Ti? I wanted to keep this card as long as possible, but with textures becoming heavier and devs optimizing less their piles of shit, I don't really know what to do. Or I could just stop purchasing new games and stay with my actual library.
>>54552880
The reason physx never took off was because developers only use it to add shitty eye-candy as that would not pose a parity problem with systems that wouldn't support hardware physx.
However we all wanted physx for actual game-impacting stuff, and no big developer would consciously cut out all consoles and a sizable portion of PC market by tying physx to core mechanics.
As for sli it was never an out-of-the-box thing, always requiring driver hacks to make it work for every game. But I have hopes for vr applications where it might be possible to have a single driver setup work on every game, just by making one card render for one eye.
>>54552961
780ti is a solid card to have.
But not a medium level card for 2016 heavy hitters.
I mean can you guarentee you're going to spend and complete the games?
Fallout was so hyped and shit.I have over 800 hours played from 3 and vegas.i was hoping the same with 4, i have less then 30 hours in game and beat it from each faction.I even bought a new rig to play the next gen games.Its sitting powered off for months.

I see what you mean man, I'll think about that.
I'm still hoping for a new metal gear or something like that.
I won't go back with NVIDIA, drivers were too much of a nightmare and my AMD experience on my mate's 290X was quite satisfying. I'll see what Vega got in its guts.

So just configure both ends as stateless and gtg?
>>54553544
Well you can save $30 (and more in the long run) by going for a 650W Antec Platinum PSU for $99. Your GPU uses some 150-350W. Overclocked cpu ~150. HDD/SSDs don't consume much of anything. New GPUs would consume less power too.

Get the slightly better 212X or a cryorig H7 for slightly cheaper and identical performance (maybe a bit better)
>>54553145

>>54553985
lspci
>>54553917
That's not how it works. You can have the exact same bandwidth and more system load by using 4 instead of 2. Does your motherboard support quad channel memory? Doubt it since it's a 1151 socket and skylake (not broadwell/E) does not support quad channel.

Hopefully someone familiar with animation/film software explain this software question to me. I'm not in the business or anything, I've just been very curious about this topic:
Why does it take so long to render a video?
I've read that rendering a single frame in Family Guy (say, 1080p 24FPS?) can take up to four minutes. It must take a whole weekend to render an entire episode. And Fox should provide those people with top-of-the-line workstations, so I can't imagine how long the average joe's computer would take for a single Family Guy frame.
What is being processed as the frame is being rendered? What kind of work is the CPU outputting? Is there vector art? Like are the outlines so infinitesimally small, the CPU is choking to draw a small segment of the frame at a time? Is a bitmap being generated for a video frame?
I can only assume so much at face value, but I know nothing about how the software side of film works in this fashion.
What's the best security protocol to use for my router?

How important is a PSU? Looking to get a build and use a 750W EVGA SuperNOVA but would a 850W EVGA SuperNOVA be a better idea if I'm running a 1070 (probably), 16-32GB RAM, i7 5820K 3.3GHz, GA-X99-SLI.
I'm really dumb when it comes to PSUs and motherboards.
>>54555107
The 750W should be fine.
The new cards use about the same amount of power as the old ones anyway.

Thank you. Yeah, as I tought it obviously depends on those attributes. But I'm pretty curious cause I've seen some "all-in-one/essentials programmer" formation in my country (english is not my first language) in like 3 months. It's said to be pretty intensive, but if they're not bullshiting, it may be a good basis to say you can learn the "basics" in like, under 1 year?
And thanks for Java, I was onto this but I needed more opinions.

I can't connect to my wifi at work. I've narrowed it down to it only connects if I go into device manager, and delete the network adaptor drivers, then restart my computer. My pc will then automatically reinstall them, and it'll work. this does not work if I just uninstall and reinstall the drivers. I always get a DHCP or whatever error when trying to connect without doing this.

I'm trying to figure out how to access my cctv system by typing in a static IP. Currently I have the NVR stuck with a static IP that is taken directly from the modem. However, I currently only have the 16 cameras directly plugged into the NVR being detected...

>Currently I have the NVR stuck with a static IP that is taken directly from the modem. However, I currently only have the 16 cameras directly plugged into the NVR being detected...
without knowing anything about your cameras, this is tough.
How do you assign a static IP address to a camera appliance? Do they have some sort of UI? Or by "Static" do you mean "DHCP reserved"? In which case it is done at your router by each appliance's MAC address.
Can someone reply to this please, testing!

It's a little bit wrong, kind of like software piracy or farting in public.

>>54556337
Something always bothered me about pro-life that are fine with abortions in case of rape. If the fetus is considered a person, why is okay to kill it when it was born of rape? Is it somehow less of a person because of it's circumstances?
I'm actually neutral on this issue, I don't really care either way but I found it kind of strange.
>>54556388
I guess because in the case of rape you can't argue that the mother could have done anything different to prevent the pregnancy, it was due to factors completely outside her control rather than her own negligence.
>>54556337
abortion is one of those things that you should be able to get, but not something to be proud of or think of as "MY BODY MY RIGHT".
>>54556432
Well I didn't really address what you asked, basically the fetus is still a person, but the mother has no obligation towards that person since she had no part in its creation, so it's harder to say she should be forced to carry it to term even if you would still be depriving a person of life by removing it.

>>54551309
What exactly are the benefits of a low response time? I keep hearing how the lower it is the more fluid it is, but isnt that governed by refresh rate? I always thought a lower response time just reduced ghosting or overshoot or whatever it's called but some monitors have an "overdrive" function which lowers the response time at the cost of more ghosting. Huh? That's a contradiction. What's the deal?
>>54556556
Look up the OEMs
>>54556642
Corsair and Thermaltake are both just rebrands of various OEMs
Some corsair PSUs are shit, some Thermaltake PSUs are good
>>54557209
response time is lag essentially, fps is not lag
On osx theres this application that lets you find out what a color is on the screen, is their a similar application for windows?
>>54557263
So that does mean response time effects the "fluidity" of a moving image?
>>54557350
no, response time is like this.
I move my mouse 500 units
the monitor gets that Xms (the response time) later.
essentially a monitor is out of synch with the source, a lower response time means its closer to being in synch (ie why tvs are shit for gaming)
>>54557372
Thanks I understand now. What's the relation to response time and ghosting however?

I have a problem with my brother's shitty laptop.
It won't boot to W7 even if you put the correct password on the main screen. I can't boot into safe mode either or do a repair/fresh install of W7 from USB or DVD.
I managed to install Linux Mint fine, but I suppose I can't format the whole HDD if I'm using it.
What could I do that doesn't involve removing the HDD and formating it on another PC?
>>54557372
You're describing input lag
Response time is the time for the pixel to change
>>54557483
move the files from the windows computer that he wants to keep, put it on a flash stick, format that hard drive, it's broke
>>54557503
I already got a backup of everything and yeah the HDD seems fucked up.
My question is, how I format it from boot/startup? I always used an OS to do it.
>>54557404
Response time is the time for the pixel to change from one state to another
A slow response time will make fast movements appear blurry since the pixel is taking a long time to change
How do i make the windows bar thing one color? investigation reveals that its actually a very slight gradiant
>>54557527
And this blur is called ghosting? Why would this "overdrive fast mode" setting to lower response time on certain monitors cause more ghosting
what is this? it just popped up. is it a virus? how do i find out? googling gives no results.
>>54557523
why can't you do a fresh install from w7 from a usb or dvd? was there an error or something?
Is it just me or is deluge tending to downlaod slower than utorrent did on windows?
>>54557602
Looks viruslike. I don't see any google results for that website, but FlashPlayer.exe isn't the proper name for even a flash installer. Scan in case. Check your running processes and see if there's anything irregular there.
>>54557547

if you mean the taskbar, turn off aero or mess with the theme using Personalization in the control panel

>>54557642
malwarebytes and windows defender if you have it running just for the fuck of it
if you can screenshot your processes and post it that might help but honestly just run the virus scans. you've never been to that website it references?

try a different sata port on the board? i'm kind of stumped as a bad hard drive shouldn't stop a clean install from starting from disk/usb
does your linux mint install disk detect the hard drive? are you sure you have a good and working copy of a windows install disk? did you try both CD and USB installs of windows?
>>54557677
that's because it's transparent.
if you're on windows 10 the option to turn it off is here at the bottom of the Colors window

>>54557701
oh my fucking christ kid.
I think I know what it is, doesn't utorrent have ads built into it or something now? fucking uninstall that shit. get qbittorrent or deluge
also I'm pretty sure skype has ads in it too that could have tried to download flashplayer.
http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-disable-ads-in-skype/
try both of those.
also, go through your startup processes (type msconfig in start search and hit enter, check both services and startup tab) and disable (or better yet uninstall the programs you don't use).
I need a new HDD for my secondary stuff, like music, images, anime and such. I already have SSD for OS and HDD for games.
Right now I'm looking at Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM and WD Blue 2TB 5400RPM.
Is 5400RPM better if I'm looking for longevity?
>>54557684
Working with a laptop, chaning sata port is not an option.
Mint install was fine and it detected the hard drive fine, and I was able to access W7 partition.
W7 DVD is fine, I've used it multiple time, last time was about a week ago, same with USB installs. Tried both with same results.
I'm now testing something with gparted, if it doesn't work, I think I have a 60GB HDD from an old PS3 I can try.
>>54557645

there is not a marked difference in lifetime one way or the other, or at least there hasn't been any research on the topic as far as I can tell. i'd still go faster, you'll regret the slower speed later
>>54557824
>you'll regret the slower speed later
I don't think so.
My dead HDD that I'm replacing was 5400RPM and I never had any problems with it. Like I said, I wouldn't be putting a single game or anything in there that would benefit from faster access times.
>>54557861
i just move a shit ton of files that i torrent often and it takes fucking forever to move gigs of data on 7200s, i can't imagine what it is on 5400. but sure if you have patience go for it. what is the price difference?
>>54557734
i have no clue what these are, except for amolto, which i uninstalled months ago. how do i remove them? they don't show up in the programs (windows 10 sometimes won't even let me remove programs, and never lets me set defaults. also my front camera won't work because it's always in use for some reason. spyware?) i have no idea what the hell is up with this computer, but i might as well ask here.
>>54557824
Shit's getting really weird, on the Starting Windows screen I started pressing Shift + F10 like a retard to try to get into command line and the install screen actually showed instead of rebooting.
Working fine for now, will check the HDD life when I'm done installing it.
>>54557868
The 5400RPM WD is 4€ more expensive actually.
If the lower RPM has no real benefit, then it's mostly a question on brands and their general reliability. There's also Toshiba's 2TB 7200RPM, but I've never had Toshiba HDD.
>>54557879

>>54557778
HGST Deskstar.
Or WD Black if you want to pay more.
>>54557906
yes, my family also uses this.
all the programs in question are grayed out. how would i go about a clean install? i do have a backup hard drive, but this is the surface pro 3 laptop, and it has no CD drive, and the box didnt come with a cd anyway.
>>54557916
Yeah, just one was plugged at time.
I've also read something about W7 being picky with disk partitions and formatting. Never had that problem, but I got into gparted and deleted every partition, left just a primary one formated to NTFS.
Didn't work at first boot, but on the second one it worked.
Is not the first problem I have with this laptop (Acer).
>>54557902
both seagate and WD are fine. do you know the warranties on them?
https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-reliability-q4-2015/
Found this, but it's not updated for the current version of the hard drives out I assume, so I wouldn't read too much into it. I don't think there's a real difference between the two (at least enough to prefer one to the other). Note that these hard drives were all in constant use and in a datacenter which is probably not indicative of your personal use.

>>54557984
i'm not sure of the cost of the hgst but if it's comparable go for it
>>54557992
it wouldn't open out of the box because apple didn't allow it, so you needed to use an app from the appstore which you need to pay for, which got taken down anyway. alternatively you could jailbreak it, and it would run, as long as what you were watching was naruto at 480p or less if you also wanted subtitles.
>>54557948
if your family uses it, then those programs are fine (assuming they want them on there as well). The fact you can't open the file location means it's probably on another user's account (same with uninstalling programs). Just try removing utorrent and block skype ads and see if it happens again.
>>54558013
okay.
thats too much hassle for me.
h.264 it is then.
also the handbrake encoder fucking sucks.
11 fps on 265 while 264 runs ten times as fast.
>>54558018
yep, i've done that. let's hope it doesnt happen again. now i've still got this front camera issue, the back one works fine, but i have no idea what's wrong with the front one. it'll light up as if it's in use, but nothing will show up. it registers as an installed device, but it can't be used. this is frustrating for all of us since the surface only has one usb port which must be used instead of a mouse if we want to video call anyone. would you know of a way to diagnose this issue? the drivers are updated, i've checked.

not really that significant, though you might as well get the highest frequency your motherboard supports

>>54558703
You know parallel and serial?
RAID is like parallel sort of.
You have for example 2 HDDs and they both have the same files on their storage but they work together so you can open files faster.
So it's like 1 HDD does the first half of the file while the other one simultanously loads the other half
And because you store files on numerous HDDs it's a bit more reliable because if 1 file gets corrupted you still have other HDDs that store the same file

WRONG!
Types of raid can be like that.
>>54558703
raid is a random array of inexpensive disks. it refers to several styles of managing multiple hard drives, but treating them as one. You can have raid that combines all of them into one and is faster at read write but more likely to fail, another which is fast but uses half the disc space as back up, and so forth

For the CPU cooler you could get a Be quiet pure rock or a hyper 212 for 30€
SSD aren't necessary in most cases, so buy it only if you really need it. And about the brand I never heard anyone saying they did good SSD, so better check the reliability

I'd argue that putting money into a GPU is wasteful desu. A 1070 or polaris 10 will be like $350. He should use the igpu (p powerful for what it is with the HD530) and wait for the 1070 or polaris 10 for ~$70 more. He could easily get that by going with a cryorig h7/212x for $30.
I also doubt a 550W would be enough for the 390's ~350 peak demand leaving him with 200W for everything else. An overclocked i5 can consume a lot of power. Couple that with the cooler/drives... yeah I guess it's fine. He shouldn't go with nvidia though because they have some fucked up power draw peaks.
Anyway if you don't want to wait for polaris 10/1070 then the build is just fine. You're wasting money with the water cooler but it's your money. You can reroute the money for an 850evo. Also the new caviar blues (check the revision) are rebranded greens. Go with a red. I suggest getting a couple of 14cm fans since the gpu can run pretty hot.
>>54559329
if it's 1mbit/s then it's definitely not fiber, probably just a marketing thing
>>54559329
A fiber connection might have slightly lower latency and wouldn't suffer as much speed loss during peak hours
Having a 1mbps fiber connection is pretty retarded though
>>54559393
It is indeed fiber. It's just that they've capped the speed.

I want to stick Ganoo Linux on an old PC that saw a lot of action being pure Windows XP only. The HDD has about 12GB free space. Assuming I want a 10GB Linux partition and a 1GB swap, what is the safest way to resize the Windows partition to prevent data loss from happening? Somehow I'm skeptical that just defragging will be enough.

Guys, I need help assessing a laptops worth.
Backstory: i bought this Acer V3 571 9423 with the following specs i7-3632QM, 6GB, 500GB, HDMI, Wireless, LED 15.6” e Windows 8.
I bought it for a reasonable price in my country, focusing on the i7 and 6gb specs, which, as a ignorant, were the only things i recognized as "good".
And i cant complain abou this machine. Served me flawlessly for 3 years.
Thing is, as i look for a new one, when i search for "i7" i get machines for sometimes double the price of the one i bought three years ago.
Im certainly assessing value the wrong way.
What is the right way? Was my pc shit?
>>54559512
Why do you need a new one? Those specs hold up plenty well today.
>>54559512
Your laptop is fine. Stick an ssd in there and you're good to go assuming you don't game much. Does your laptop have a gpu? Do these more expensive laptops have ssds? IPS? Gsync? 4k? Thing as paper? Light as a feather? 15" vs 17"? etc.
You can find a huge difference between hardware given the same price. It's best to keep looking if you don't like the price as most likely there's a better priced alternative, always, so keep searching until you find one that is sufficiently convincing.
>>54559416
I'm using mine for a "3rd screen" - connected to WiFi and allows me to control music played in Spotify (official Spotify app on Android allows you to do that without premium now) and Clementine (Clementine Remote app is really fucking good). Disabled screenlock + 30 min screen ofc, and now it's easy to control music without having to alt-tab fullscreen games
Plus when I do stuff around the house I sometimes use it to stream PC audio to it, but I guess I could also use my new phone for this (btw - using Soundwire for this - are there any better alternatives?)
So, I finally decided to build a PC for myself (had a laptop for like last 5 years) and I have a few stupid questions:
GPU I want to buy says it uses PCIe x16 3.0 but the mobo I chose doesn't say what version of PCIe it has. Will this work or do I need to look for a specific mobo with 3.0 PCIe? (I assume this whole version thing depends only on the card)
RAM:
2400MHz CL15 or 2133MHz CL13?
>>54558721
730
>>54559590
something like this is my main idea, but I can't think of a reason why I would not use my new phone instead
>>54559614
RAM speed doesn't make a difference when you have a dedicated GPU.
Especially not with gaming
>>54551309
are there any differences in contents between these?
ISBN 8131501728 (Thomson Press, 4th edition, 2004, picrelated)
ISBN 0534422004 (International Edition of the former)
ISBN 0534422004 (Wellesley-Cambridge Press, 4th edition, 2009, dark blue hardcover)
Anyway to set specific user agent to specific sites?
>>54559614
I'd say the cheaper one. 2400 obviously is supposed to be a tiny bit faster, but the difference would be negligible and 2133 obviously wouldn't bottleneck shit. Timings might make a larger difference, but that still wouldn't really matter methinks
>>54559559

fuck me, that's the tip of the day
>>54559583
Thats exactly what i want to know more... I, right now, dont have the knowledge to explain the price difference. I have to look at the differences between pcs but after processor and RAM things get confusing for me.
Tbh i dont even know why i7 is good?m, i just know it is
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/bJ6d8d
I want to buy this right now, but without the gpu for now because im on a budget. I dont have a pc right now so i just want a 4chan machine. Can i buy all this without the gpu and then buy the gpu in a month?
>>54559668
when you plug it in, does the charging indicator light up? plenty of laptops have really shitty power button -> motherboard and charger input -> motherboard connections
have a look at a service manual for your exact model, it might be possible to diy it if you're interested, having replaced a shoddy connection in my previous laptop myself. a tiny little cable cost me like £3 on ebay
this thread is old, someone make new one
>>54559691
it has integrated graphics, so yeah
and in a couple of months you'll be able to buy an amd polaris card instead :)
>>54559680
>Tbh i dont even know why i7 is good?m, i just know it is
if you don't know why, then you probably don't need it desu. it definitely applies to desktop versions and maybe less so to mobiles, but if you're not doing any encoding/decoding stuff it probably isn't worth paying extra over an i5
>>54559725
It does. By what ive looked into google, im pretty sure its something silly as you said, but im not confident enough to do it myself. I appreciate you trying to help me though. I love this machine, hope to still have it
>>54559614
2400mhz = 2.4x10^9hz so T= 0.416ns -> response time is 6.2ns. 2133 at cl13 is 6.1. Well I given they have about the same delay the 2400 is better since it carries a higher frequency per clock.
99% of modern mobos have at least one pci3 x16. If you can't verify the info but everything is too expensive then just get it. pci is backwards compatible and doesn't affect performance in any significant way.
>>54559691
It's what I did. Waiting to see what polaris 10 is about. Also 960s are already dirt cheap ~$170. Still going to wait though for decent hardware.
>>54559758
Being honest with you, when i went to buy it i wanted one that could play reasonably modern games and the price for that one was incrediblh cheap.
If processor dont make much of a difference for that i wont be surprised, as im ignorant
>>54559680
It depends on the ram frequency, ram type, gpu, screen quality/resolution, weight, battery, optical drives (e.g. bluray), ssd/hybrids/type of storage/etc.
Differences should be obvious reading the technical details.

You never said anything about using it as a boot drive

I don't know if dropbox has a file size limit.
>>54560947
They're fine. Get a WD Black though if you can. They're superb for both reliability and speed.
Lets say i got the domain über.de and want to login in my wp account. every time i do it, firefox will change domain to über.dewp-admin (instead of über.de/wp-admin). If I reload, it works. wtf is going on?
I have around 2tb of files I'd like to permanently cold archive but I dont know what to do to keep them safe. I had it backed up twice across 4 hard drives but I just checked them the other day and both had failed.
Fortunately I also had it backed up on a number of regular old dvds but now I'm nervous as these files are irreplaceable.
What are is a good and rather inexpensive way to back up files that I'll need until my death?
>>54558915
right, actually, raid stands for /redundant/ array of inexpensive disks, this infers any particular data can be retrieved from at least two of the disks
"raid" levels that are not redundant are jbod configurations, for example, "raid0". it's improper to call it a raid level, as it's not redundant
>>54561073

>>54561182
right but i'm talking about specific media. those dvd's probably only have a few years left since the organic inks break down and I live in a humid environment.
I use youtube-dl via cli in my computer, but my friend's computer uses DownloadThemAll.
What can I put instead of *name* so it uses the Description in the filename when downloading?

Killing it is a mercy; nobody would want or care for it in life, save at the expense of the state.
And unlike a mere orphan, it was born totally of sin. Raising it means raising a particularly bad criminal's genes.
