so i've been downloading a few tracks off youtube using http://www.youtube-mp3.org/
and it works perfectly fine except for when i try to download this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQfV6Ro3UvU
what's going on here?
>>54573561
use youtube-dl
I'm gonna look into making a computer soon. Is there much of a trick to it besides picking parts from the logicalincrements guide at the price I want, putting it into pcpartpicker, and then asking /g/ for advice?
should i put vista or lubuntu on this?

lubuntu unless you have to have windows for program support, which i dont think you need
lubuntu is actually pretty comfy though
>>54573718
This. use the -F option to output all of the formats available for download. You can just download the audio version.
i downloaded the master quake thingy made by carmack
how do i actually run it and shit
>>54573718
>>54573838
i think im retarded but i have no idea how this works
im on windows, downloaded the exe, when i open it a black window runs for a second then closes immediately
>>54573873
I had this same problem. Create a directory on your C:/ drive called ytdl or whatever and then add that directory to your path. To add to your path right click control panel and select "Advanced system settings", then select "Environment variables..." and scroll down and edit PATH with the new directory.
>>54573891
i thought it was because i didnt have python so im in the middle of installing that now
>>54573928
You don't have to have python do run the youtube-dl.exe file, you just have to edit your PATH, and then just open up CMD, cd to the directory and run "youtube-dl URL"
>>54573891
>>54573943
doesn't have to be in root right, just the drive
When do I charge my laptop? Do I keep it plugged-in even after it's fully charged? Or do I only charge it when it gets really low, like <20%, just so to preserve the battery cycle?
>>54573962
Just put it in C:/ytdl
My laptop randomly starts to read inputs from the S key, and continuously reads that input. Any idea on how to stop and prevent this?
Also, on a related note, when I close my laptop and it goes into sleep mode, it will randomly remove itself from sleep mode due to the above happening. I went into the control panel and delected "allow this device to wake the compute" from the properties menu for the keyboard, but it's still causing it to leave sleep mode.
What gives?
Why is sipping wine alone while listening to some good ol' italian disco(me) considered alcoholism but being around others taking shots til piss drunk acceptable behavior?
>>54573962
you can put it anywhere
when editing PATH, pay attention to the seperator (iirc it's ";"), and also to only put the folder path in there (like "c:\ytdl", not "c:\ytdl\youtube-dl.exe")
any executables in that (immediate) folder will become available from anywhere in cmd, without the need to switch to that folder
>>54574032
-- oh, and don't remove existing PATH entries, add yours to the end of the line
My 7850 just died
Should I go cheap and get a 960, pay a hundred more for a 380x, or pay a lot more for a 390?

goddamn this is a lot for one youtube video
i dont have the ability to right click control panel so im not sure how to get there
and either way im still pretty curious about why one certain youtube video doesnt work through youtubemp3 when the rest do
>>54574019
thats interesting, i also have an issue with my s key although a bit different
i found out that my laptop makes a slight humming/whirring noise when i push the s key
i can even hear it if i just touch the s key, barely putting pressure at all although the noise is fainter that way, and even if i press it fully the noise is faint enough that i cant make it out unless my ear is close to the keyboard
what is it with the s key
whats the easiest way to reinstall windows?
I dont want to lose my key, and I need a clean install
there's all kinds of driver issues at this point from hardware changes and me doing bad uninstalls, and I'd like to clean up my programs and stuff too
I have a nas to move all my files I'll need again back over, and thats where all of my media is anyway
what do?
>>54573730
Make sure your CPU of choice matches the socket of your motherboard and make sure your power supply is big enough to supply the system. That's really all I would be worried about.
I have recently unknowingly downloaded some malware and while I have removed some of it (a coin miner), I will obviously never really know if it's all gone. So obviously the best option is to format and re install windows however I have about 3.5TB of shit on HDDs connected to this computer and many collections from music to anime to porn that I have built up over the past 5-6 years and would be a major loss. I've been running a number of malware removal tools but I still feel dirty. Is there any decent way to scan all of my media from a non infected computer and then move it over to a clean install of windows? Or would that still just defeat the purpose of doing a clean install to begin with?
Also I received this email from the guy who distributed this malware (I'm pretty sure that's what it's about because my friend who downloaded the same game also received this email). I thought it would be best to just not reply because he is probably just fishing for replies to target more. That said talking to him would also probably be the only way to actually remove everything but that would obviously just depend on whether he felt like telling me the truth. Ideas?

I recently broke my phone and bought a cheap no name dumb phone as a temporary replacement and to my surprise am actually loving it.
There are two features which I am missing though. I mainly use SMS and the phone has a storage of only a few hundred messages so have to delete them frequently.
The other feature I am missing is that messages are not grouped into conversations.
Does anyone know a decent dumb phone that has these features? It is pretty much everything that I am looking for in a phone.
>>54574423

Delta RPMs reduced 145.6 MB of updates to 12.3 MB (91.1% saved)
>dat superior fedora feel
My question is how does this work?
>>54574835
Okay I'm sorry. I think I will order that pizza.
>>54574843
rather than downloading entire packages, you download only the data that is different since the previous version, hence, the delta
>>54574876
I asked for how it works not what it does

Is firefox suppose to take up a gig of ram during normal usage?
Are their any good non tor chans now days?

Is there any way to bring this down.
It gets terribly slow after a while, other browsers don't have this problem but I quite like my setup on ff
>>54575015
Why are you asking here?
Can i make a thread about what people think of the components i have for building a pc?
>>54575067
use umatrix or something to block unwanted scripts and shit. my firefox is only using 300 mb of ram
>>54575068
who gives a fuck really, i mean specifically a tech board. lain chan is garbage and 8 is just another /g/.
Anybody have experience with installing custom coolers on GPUs? I have a Powercolor 390 and it gets real hot and loud, and I've looked around at aftermarket air-coolers, but haven't found anything conclusive. I'd prefer to avoid water cooling, but may consider it if people recommend it enough.
>>54575099
for aftermarket you have a choice of a fuckhuge air cooler or the nzxt/corsair aio kits. I would go with that, its simple enough and just as maintenance free, just be sure to get little heatsinks for the vrms and you're golden
you'll be rocking like 50-60c on the core too
I need a solid wireless headset for 50 bucks, i'm currently using shit g930 and I'm tired of how often it cuts out and all the other problems associated with it like that screeching beep shit

Can you move your autoexec from tf2/csgo or other named files to github and synchronize them?
Anyone willing to explain how it works? I really don't understand github that well.
Been programming for a year,college sucks at teaching it since all they teach is syntax and I want to get better faster and just spear heading it isn't doing jack,need a better foundation on the theory or logic, any good recommend books?Should probably look more like mathematics than anything programming related.

Sometimes I see mods distributed for games that are a .dll file that is supposed to be placed in the game directory and gets loaded by the game executable, but oftentimes these .dll files don't actually replace anything in said install directory. So in these cases, how does the game know to load the .dll from the mod I installed?
I was under the impression that unless the .exe actually contained a reference to the library then it wouldn't do anything... Are these files overriding default OS libraries that are called by the .exe or something?
>>54574023
Well when my family drinking wine together it's a time of merry with music and talking around the table,while I imagine drinking alone is any fashion has a air of lonely escapism, go too far no one is there to pull you back when you really need it.
>>54574053
depends what you have already
check your psu and see if you can power 380/960 or higher in the first place

Whats the cheapest rig i can build with no overclocking to run CS:GO at 120 FPS @ 1080p ?
>>54575546
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ_5p9wd2dk
it's just a matter of time, i know the poor feels but dont go any lower than a 6300
honestly you might wanna go with a pentium g3258 and a pretty ok mobo and then upgrade when the intel fanboi crew upgrades to kaby, you could grab an old 4690/4790k cheap as hell
has anyone used an anti-glare screen for a tablet that actually works outside? can't find good reviews anywhere.

what's a good budget friendly 1440p display? 22"-27" in size and I don't really care for high refresh rates and such, it's not for gaming.
>>54576082
>it's not for gaming
so is it for media production? then youll want a good color recreation monitor
looking at getting the LG-27ud68
its 4k, ips, 60hz, freesync, and pretty cheap as far as 4k goes
any reason not to? are there other panels that have the same features or quality that are cheaper? or ones that have less but cost far less?
im just wondering here you guys sometimes know about other deals I dont, I know this isn't a tech support board and all that
>>54576073
yes max settings
could anyone post a partpicker for this?

how to i use wget to download images for me from a website?
>>54575335
look at dll side loading and dll load hijacking issues. the exe might search the install dir first and then other subfolders where the real dll might be.
>>54575038
you need to find a way to parse the catalog to find the active threads or maybe use the recursion option. curl or httrack might be better for a mirroring job like that.
>>54574889
from the fedora presto wiki:
The binary diff algorithm used in deltarpm is a version of bsdiff modified for speed.
you can find the source to open source stuff and dig through the code yourself IF you want to know the exact modifications and how bsdiff works.
funny, windows has had block level sync stuff since windows xp, but they never seem to apply it to updates.
Seriously what's the deal with 24-pin motherboard cables? Why do I have to battle some kind of boa-constrictor every time i build a pc?
>>54576296
What kind of retarded mouse do you have where you can't pick it up without pressing the buttons?
Back to the question, I have the upper side button bound to delete, the lower bound to copy, and scroll click to cut. It's faster and more comfortable than going back and forth from the keyboard.

How should i go about storage?
I have two internal hdd's that are almost both full, mainly of media. One of the drives is just for media, the other is for documents and programs and shit. How should I expand my media drive wth the purchase of another drive?
What about doing it over network easily?
>>54576674
well how big are the drives
>>54576674
buy a large archive HDD and put it in an external case.
backup everything onto it.
make a raid 0 out of your two drives and do weekly backups onto the external.
don't have the external plugged in all the time, only when you're doing backups.
>>54576685
1Tb each,
Windows doesn't let me install photoshop saying that it can't move files and they are used by other programs. I'm assuming it's something to do with misconfigured files?
What program should I use to clean this up?
>>54576685
i would just upgrade to 2 2tb or 1 4tb
that way 100% of your cost goes to actual storage, nothing to enclosures or whatever, and you always have those old drives to fall back on
alternatively, you could also get a 5.25 to 3.5 adapter and put the 2 1tb drives in with the 2 2tb drives too

I'm really just wondering if this is on my end or not.
>>54576992
No kidding but the other 4 don't seem to be commensurate in usage. That only happens when programs make use of many cores? Bit odd how windows 7 doesn't use more than 4 cores much.
>>54577065
not really, barely anything is optimized for multi core usage.
>>54577048
could switch to nightly, or check you have the proper preview enabled
It seems obvious, but I will ask just in case: I'm building a completely new PC, but keeping the hard drive. Will this cause any problems with windows (that is already installed)? I will remove all hadrware related drivers of course, but I don't know if the OS itself configures itself for my particular hardware during install.
>>54577074
>nightly
Eh, as long as CTR works I'm fine with FF.
>preview
Preview On Processline is enabled in FF and obviously Aero is on as well.
I haven't changed anything in either since forever and the preview was showing correctly before the latest FF update.

when someone says "t. pajeet" in their response what does the "t." mean or stand for?
how long should it take for a RAM RMA to be processed once they receive it

It's apparently finnish, like spurdo.
The t. basicly means "signed/yours/sincerely" as in, "signed. Pajeet" like how you'd end a formal-ish letter/mail.

How do i learn to type blind with all my fingers? Any good software?
I'm thinking of moving away from Windows.
I'd like you to suggest me a distro that
1) Is as hardware compatible as possible
2) Not a timesink to maintain (like arch can be)
3) Smooth and easy to use DE.
Also how's wine doing with games ?
Thanks.
>>54577437
Just don't look at the keyboard.
>>54577410
Mostly in C/C++, JAVA, starting to dip in PHP. No, I never did data retrieval from APIs, tho I probably should look into it
>>54577441
install gentoo
>>54577390
I want a lite, stylish and ultraportable laptop. I use a few (not demanding) programs on Windows but I've read that the new Retina Macbook runs Windows 10 like a dream. I dabble in PC gaming but I mostly play ancient MMORPGs (SWG EMU, Anarchy Online). I hide any power level that I might have in public and would probably be considered a normie and I've been using Macbooks for the last 10 years but I've been so impressed with the Stealth and it's potential when the Core is released that I'm hung up on picking.
>>54577441
de isnt part of the distro, or can be changed with ease.
Need to at least post your hardware, but essentially any hardware works (like seriously anything works).
Arch isnt that hard to maintain not that i use it
>>54577446
And how about 10 fingers? I currently use 2 fingers. I have been doing this for years and i cant unlearn it.
Should i buy xiaomi Redmi note pro 3 or oneplus x and from which website?
>>54577481
>I currently use 2 fingers.
Best coders use 2 fingers. Only code monkey who write a lot of code and need speed use their 10 fingers.
>>54577473
i'm not posting my hardware because it's not relevant since I want this on my laptop too and possible future desktops. I'd rather not have to change distro to match my hardware specs if possible.
>Arch isnt that hard to maintain not that i use it
it's not hard but it's can be a timesink. I've used it for a while.
>>54577449
IMO, stick with Java if you're trying to be easily employable.
C++ is also fine, but your should really make your next project a simple Java application that does something with an API.
Hell, use 4chan's API's, it'll be good practice in dealing with JSON and creating objects from them:
https://github.com/4chan/4chan-API
>>54577462
Doesn't that new MacBook only have one port?
Personally, couldn't live with that. I'm not sure of the price point, but I can guarantee that Razor is going to handle your light gaming better, although both are way overpriced.
>>54577496
Yes
>>54577503
I just want to be a more efficient shitposter. I dont code.
>>54577522
Shitposting is like coding, it requires intelligence. You don't need speed, you just need to write good triggering posts.
>>54577522
Literally just learn how to homerow type.
Index fingers go on the bumps on F and J, everything else is just practice.
>>54577509
The one port is a real blow to the macbook, I would get sick of toting around an adapter. I'm feeling like I'll likely go ahead and go with the Stealth. Price isn't an issue with me, I don't mind paying a little extra for better build quality and design.
that's the ping for me and everyone else on the house only when i use my laptop (usb wi-fi adapter makes it better)
what kind of causes could it be
>>54577560
Keep in mind that the Razor only has a 520m.
While probably fine for the gaming you're doing, don't expect to boot up Metro 2033 or GTAV on max settings.
>>54577526
>>54577536
You are whats wrong with 4chan.
When someone specifically asks how to do x, you guys always tell them "you dont. do this instead." He didnt ask what he should do instead, retard. Just answer the damn question or dont answer at all.

I wasn't too happy about that but knowing me and my interest in new(ish) tech I'll likely pick up the Core when it finally comes out and throw a GTX 1070 or something in it. I'm worried that it might bottleneck but it'll end up doing much better for me gaming wise than the Macbook could dream of... even if it does involve me spending a ludicrous amount of money.
Ok /g/, two questions
first, anyone know a good monitor stand that can fit a dell u2414h that can be used in both portrait and landscape
secondly, should i just find another u2414h to use as a second monitor in portrait mode or should i get a different model, if so what do you recommend
When the gtx 1070 comes out will it be cheaper than a 980ti, or will the 980ti drop cheaper than $380?
is there a faster linux than lubuntu?

Start learning row by row, and then practice using the entire keyboard.
After you get pretty good at those games just look up words per minute tests and keep taking those until you get to around 100 wpm.
>>54577727
Yes, arch.
>>54577727
Yes, any linux distro that is more lightweight such as arch, gentoo, etc will be faster, but at the cost of user friendliness.
>>54577724
1070 will be cheaper than the 980ti is today but not sure about how long for in the future, will deffo have a better price to performance ratio so would advice for the 1070 at this moment
>>54577724
980ti prices probably won't drop until enough 1070s hit the market for them to supplant the previous generation, so I'd guess prices won't adjust for a couple weeks.
This is assuming the 1070 outperforms the 980ti - if it turns out to be 3.5gate round 2 or some shit then the prices might not drop.
1440 monitor @ 144Hz or 4K monitor at 60Hz?
>>54577777
1080p 144hz
>>54577777
If you want to use it for gaming, 144hz
If you don't play games then 4k
>>54577777
Nice quints, so go for 5K @ 60Hz
>>54577777
WITNESSED
>>54577303
Few weeks dependent on seller
>>54577086
as long as you readjust the bios, it should just load up like an updated version of you old pc
>>54576145
4k is a meme, go for something higher than 60hz
>>54576082
dell u2515h is amazing and looks sleek
WD Red Pro or Black?
Both are 7200 rpm unlike the normal red

Any image editor that will let me specify a 16:9 crop?

Is it at all possible for software to make WiFi connection weak?
I got a new phone the other day, WiFi worked fine and I was without issues. I went to root it and flashed some stock, rooted files with no other changes and for some reason, ever since, my WiFi signal on my phone is really poor. Most of the time it shows zero bars and sometimes I pick it up and it's just not connected at all and takes a while to connect again.
I'm not sure if it's my WiFi or the phone itself. Any ideas? One thing to note is that I'm in the UK and the stock image I flashed was more of a generic one as opposed to a UK one, but that supposedly shouldn't matter

Installing Windows Updates on Pirated Windows 8.1
What could go wrong?
>>54578012
I think there may be some 2TB Blue models that are 7200rpm but above that it's 5400 rpm.
So I'm assuming they're rebrands, or they may as well be.
It's that I'm a little paranoid so I don't want to minimize the risk of losing data.
Reposting from previous thread since I nobody replied.
If I would "upgrade" my Win7/8.1 copy to Win10 and then roll back, would it be still possible to "upgrade" it later after July, when the "free" time period will end?
>>54578123
Yes, IIRC.
If you upgrade now, you reserve a Win10 key that you can use on that machine later.
>>54578082
go to the homescreen thread on /wg/.
Basically you should download nova launcher and klwp for ricing.

Okay, thanks.
One more question - would the process of "upgrading" and then rolling back screw something over or it is kinda painless for the OS itself?
Except for that single data spike from default Win10 settings.

Can someone explain why the answer is 10?

Because there are only 2 non-pair integers (1 and 3 ) between 0 and 4 (excluded).
The algorithm added 3 for each of them, so 4+3+3->10

Unrelated: minutes ago, i saw the command prompt popping 2 to 3 times, for a very short time.

If you're going for a nas drive be sure that the case you're putting it in has as little vibration as possible and isn't subjected to any vibration often. They can easily corrupt data compared to something specifically made to withstand vibration (i.e. WD Black). The WD Black is louder and more expensive per TB (iirc) but it's more resilient than the others especially if you don't have a proper enclosure.

The advantage of water cooling is being able to have a larger surface area for cooling, and then you can run your fans at a lower RPM to reduce noise

I hope you're doing all of this in safe mode.
Anyways, go to %appdata% and start wiping anything thats unfamiliar, if you're not sure Google the stuff you're deleting. After that run Malwarebytes just to be safe. Also, check the properties of your Web browser executables and other commonly used applications to check if anything has been changed. The malware changes them so you can help spread it, so watch out for that.

How are you going to power that? Add an antec platinum 650W for $99
Here's an update at the same exact price (fan is $35): http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2TfZBm
Check the ram though maybe the ram you wanted has lower latency I didn't check, just changed because of ddr4 (which probably does have lower latency anyway); You'd save maybe $10 by going back to 1833.

its basically 3 cpus stacked, i was thinking a similar cooling could be done with metal sheets instead of pipes though. Just double the pins or something or make everything thriple the size but spaced over 3 layers.

I know integers are whole numbers, but I dont know what [100] is, I keep finding this in the code I am supposed to understand, but I just dont understand it at all
I know if it said a=100 it would mean that a has the value of 100 and so on, but I dont get what a[100] is

That's an array of integers, probably.

English isnt my first language so this stuff is really confusing, I dont even know what the word array even means, I guess it just means elements that are continuous or something.

I've had my 750ti for about 2 or 3 years now and want to upgrade to the 1080 or 1070 when they come out, however I'm worried my CPU, a AMD FX-6300, would bottleneck or something, or whatever the term is. Am I in the clear or should I also be ready to upgrade my CPU?

An array of any given type is just a set of those things.
So if you have an array [100] of integers, you can store 101 integers within that piece of data.
Remember that the index of an array starts at 0.
So if I had an array that's storing 5 integers, I would have 5 numbers at indexes 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.
>>54581222
It will bottleneck, but you'll still see a big boost over the 750ti
>>54581222
You should probably upgrade that CPU.
I had a 6300 and it bottlenecked a 2-gens back AMD card.

My digital life forums, you will have to register probably.
Find the W7 thread with downloads, get the .iso get checksum and confirm it is unaltered, if I'm not mistaken there were instructions for this on the forum.
Then locate the Daz Loader thread on the same forum, get it, install W7, when it asks for a serial, just skip. When you're done installing it, launch Daz Loader and activate it.
The loader is foolproof, so probably you won't need more indications.

Speaking of all this Win 7 installation stuff.
I'm thinking of going back to 7 after using 8.1 for a while now. And I can't remember, if I do install Win 7, will it create the usual "Windows.Old" folder or does that only work when going from 7 to 8/10 and not in reverse?
>>54581263
Sorry, I'm not familiar with C++.
Does an array declaration of 100 not go to index 100, or does it go to index 99?

Okay, thanks. Do either of you recommend a certain CPU to uprage to thats AM3+?
>>54581253
Thank you anon. I owe ya.

The next logical upgrade would be an FX-8350, I would think, but I may be wrong on this.
I actually went through the same upgrade progression about 2 years back, but I'm on an i7 4790K now.
I almost wonder if it would be worth you saving more to do a mobo upgrade as well.
>>54581280
I've yet to come a cross a language where you define the max index instead of the array size, where you got that from?
[100] means you can store 100 values, the index goes from 0 to 99
>>54581297
Also. Might be prudent to keep it around. Sometimes(rarely), seemingly at random, it can go back to being non-genuine. So it's handy to keep it around.
>>54581305
True.
Not sure what I was thinking.
>>54581297
I can't let you blow 100 bucks you could spend on beer on W7.
>>54581324
Shit, never happened to me but better safe than sorry.
>>54581300
Do motherboards also have an effect on performance?
>>54581337
>Shit, never happened to me but better safe than sorry.
As I said. It happens very rarely. But you just need to do another install of it and things will go back to normal again.

The main thing is obviously the socket.
With an AM3+ board, you can only choose from those processors, which basically limits you to an FX-8350. The FX-9*** series sucks down energy and throws off lots of heat; they're inefficient, but powerful.
The only other real performance choke on a mobo is if the FSB(front-side bus) is for some reason rated at a very low clock. I'm not certain if this is an issue any more.
New thread, anyone?
Currently have an old Dell Vostro 200 laying around with no real good use.
I was using it on the TV to browse the Internet but I rather not do that anymore.
It has a Pentium 1.8GHz CPU, and 1.5GB of RAM, also has a 150GB HDD. I have a 4TB Green drive that I can throw in there.
I am gonna upgrade it in the near future.
What can I put it to use for now? I don't want it to collect dust.

What does xor mean? it seem to be a common hacker name
>>54581616
Bitwise Exclusive OR.
I dunno how printers work. Is there a way to remotely (>2km) print from one if it's not hooked up to another PC?
anyone knows how to create a matrix, multiply it with a number, add another matrix to it, or multiply it by another matrix, in c++
stuff I know as of now:
integers
for loop
cin and cout
I just dont know how to make matrices and do stuff with them..
