Friend of mine is having a problem with her computer
"Was not able to konfigurate Windows-updates. Reloading to a previous stage."
And now all my monitors turned black.

Is there any program that will convert files to PDF on windows?
I'm looking for a command line tool
So I got this really annoying problem in emacs and OS X.
I can't write in LaTeX because emacs intercepts my '\' command. Which means I can't write \anything
Anyone know how I can get Ctrl+Shift+7 binded to produce a \ instead?

I'm looking to build a work computer for my mom and I noticed the CPU I bought for myself a few years ago (4670) outperforms the current i5 in the ~185USD price point (6400) which is around what I paid
Is this just intel Jewery or am I an idiot?
The only benefit to this new CPU seems to be that it's actually available at a normal price
Huawei P8 Lite or LG G3 S? Anything else in their price range?
I use an i5 2500k which supposedly has an integrated graphical chipset but it doesn't show with lspci. Do I need to wire something?

Should I pursue a career in theoretical or applied computer science? On one hand, writing programs is kinda cool and theory is rarely applicable anywhere other than universities. On the other, I don't want to be a code monkey, and the theory of computers if very interesting.
What font is this?
>>54721462
Academia versus Industry. Don't get into theoretical stuff if you don't wish to work in an academical field.
Also most theoretical comsci degrees are math-oriented or at least have a large amount of math classes; that's how it usually goes in my county.
Also, math is way different than what you've learned until now (I take it you just gratuated high school) and might get old very, very quickly if you aren't really into it, just because you had passable/good grades in hs doesn't mean you'll have an easy time at uni
What file do i put the following in the "profile"ExecUpPost='/usr/bin/ip link set eth0 mtu 9000'
I have made a "profile" that has the connection data,that works,but when ever i add the above line,it just errors/ignores it and starts the profile for the connection
Is there a "profile" beyond the one with the connection data i am missing?

Which version? This sounds like a problem I've had with win10 and win7 on dual-boot setups. I resolved it on the win7 dual boot one by powering down, booting, and running windows update again. It wasn't able to finish all the recommended updates I requested, but I didn't care, since I was updating it to 10.

What's the best Graphic card for 1080p?
>>54722179
EXT4, unless you have a compelling reason to use anything else. It's by far the most common on Linux systems.
>>54722286
>In windows there are the C: drives, D: drives and so on. How does this work in linux?
On Linux there is a single tree, starting at the root. Filesystems can then be mapped to any directory in the tree.

Will Avidemux serve fine for cutting/getting said parts?
I've not got mkvmerge but I assume it can handle MP4 files just fine

>>54723002
the pressure goes down pretty quickly after you start using those cans and they are expensive when you have several computers. They also get very cold to hold if you use it for a while.
>>54722999
Moisture can sometimes build up in the compressor so you could end up spraying some out but ill be getting a filter so i can airbrush with it anyways so shouldn't be a problem. Figured it would be fine.

I don't come here often but I just need to ask for someones input on this.
My computer keeps loosing it's connection to the graphics card at random times. Sometimes when I try to boot it just says "Please power down and connect the PCI-e cables" and sometimes it happens when I'm already using the computer. And whenever I touch the cables with the softest of touches, it loses connection instantly. To solve this all of this, I have ripped of the side of my case to allow the cables to hang out freely. This appears to be the only position in which they can maintain a stable connection.
Now, I have made sure that both the 6 and 8 pin PCI-cables actually are connected to the card. I have an EVGA GeForce GTX 770.
Does anyone know what is causing this?

If it's a fresh install, you have nothing to lose but another 5 minutes of starting the install + maybe waiting some time if you don't have stuff to do, so there's that.

>>54723000
The temps NEVER leave 93C?
The next time your PC has been off for a while (so you are 100% sure it's room temperature), then boot your computer and ASAP check the readings. If it says 93C, it's a reading problem and not a problem with your GPU at all. Your GPU should not reach more than maybe 40-50 degrees by the time you enter windows and start working on stuff. You will know when it's overheating for real (screen artifacts, random blackouts, smoke and fires if you're on nVidia, etc). Good luck!

Download TCPview and see what's using the internet. Just sort it by "Bytes sent" or "Bytes recieved" and you'll see who rises the ranks. Find the annoying program and tell it to behave or get rid of it.
I use Aida64 (successor of Everest) to monitor my shit as well, it's a great tool if you're willing to set it up to your liking. In AIDA you can see what network card(s) are taking up how much KB/s to see if it's actually your computer using the bandwidth or if it's someone else...

I'm planning on putting together a new computer for myself, since my current one is ancient.
I have a GTX 980Ti, as well as some WD Blacks already.
However, it was a while ago I tried putting something together, so I wonder if this would work?
Would that PSU be able to power all of this?
Are there any incompatibilities?
Could I skim down the cost somewhere?
The idea is to put the cooling block in the front of the case, because I think that'd look neat.
I mainly play games and draw on my current computer.
how do i mount esp to boot
Should I replace this heatsink? Laptop runs loud on startup anger replacing the fan/dusting out did nothing. Got it about a year ago secondhand, originally came out in 2008.
Why are gamers so icky?
>>54724441
Just write a book, ada isn't worth learning nor writing in.
>>54724503
PSU is fine, could go down to 600 watts even
Nothing incompatible as far as I can tell
Number of ways you could trim the cost down, just depends on what you don't want cut back on. You probably don't need an i7 for gaming and drawing, could go to a 6600k. Cooler is pretty excessive, a regular air cooler would be fine.

What linux should I install on a usb that has a live option so I can use it without installing? preferably very fast and easy to use. I plan to install steam on another 1 GB flashdrive so I can just bring it to the OS every time I boot.
>>54724684
Alright, thanks a lot.
I know it's kinda of silly, but I really want that cooler and CPU because I think it'd look neat and I've been running on my AMD Phenom II x4 955 forever. Basically just looking for something that will last me a long time.

You have a locked processor and a motherboard made for overclocking - fix one or the other
If you keep the locked processor I wouldn't bother with the aftermarket cooler

Drives will be assigned a device id in the root directory, like /dev/sdx
Partitions will look like /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 for instance.
You then have the option of mounting them to another location, like "/mnt/flashdrive"
A lot of disros handle this shit automatically but if you are using something like arch, you'll have to configure fstab and other fuckery to get your drives to be accessible.

>>54724789
>8 gb ram
"low specs"
>>54722286
Typically when there is a drive, it will be assigned a name in the root directory in /dev. The drive may look like /dev/sdx# with x assigning the drive and # assigning the partition. Drives are also identified by their UUID which is a long string of shit.
Most distros will assign a mount point directly but if you're an arch fuckhead like me, you'll have to configure fstab and other fuckery to assign mountpoints, but you can mount a drive basically anywhere you want in the filesystem, like /mnt/flashdrive for instance.

>>54725115
dont see any reason why not, linux isnt really that picky on what you install it on honestly, a good flash drive on a usb 3.0 port beats a shitty WD green any day.
I'd say give it a go if you have a free day and a spare machine to try and install it on the USB stick, might be a fun project to keep your mind busy and if you get it working make a guide for the /g/ wiki so others can do it as well.

That PSU is definitely NOT fine, your 980ti needs 600w all by itself.
>>54721542
pretty sure there's an /etc/ folder for hba configs too. Careful with jumbo's on exactly 9000 btw... if your sender is talking at 9216, it's going to re-segment another packet and you'll get a lot of unnecessary overhead vs. if they both agree to talk exactly 9000. not sure if linux accounts for the header/trailer/crc bits in the 9000 mtu or not...

Are these jewish memes or are they actually more cost-effective than gaming cards?
>>54728067
the 980Ti pulls 250w. A 600w PSU is the recommended minimum for that card, totally fine for this build.

Is two ram sticks failing at the same time possible? After a long session of gaming my computer crashed (frozen screen loud screeching sounds ) so I forced shut down.
Computer then doesn't boot, it keeps shutting off and on. After some googling, I removed every component besides cpu, and it remains on. After adding ram it does the same thing. Individually and paired and in different slot variations, I still get the same issue. Pretty sure it's faulty ram slots but I'm not an expert, and plus it's super inconvenient to replace my mobo.

I am partial to testdisk because GPL, but what really matters is how well it works at partition recovery, and I want to hear about your experiences. I have to recover a NTFS partition from a disk where the main and backup partition tables got rewritten.

I have a Toshiba Chromebook 2.
>Intel Celeron 3215U dual core
>4gb ddr3
>1080p 13.3" screen
and the kicker
>only 16gb SSD internal.
All my other storage is based on a 128gb MicroSD card. Problem is that even a class 10 card only sees 10MB/s transfer speeds and Chromebooks by default don't accept any other format for SD cards than FAT32 so having 1080p blu-ray rips etc are out of the question due to the 4gb file size limit.
After looking around I found that my model (and I physically verified myself by taking off the bottom panel) has a removable SSD. It uses an m.2 2242 42mm ssd. I was looking at pic related.

I've tried out TestDisk. It's always found the partition, but is never able to restore it. I have no idea why. On the plus side, it is always able to recover the files I've needed.
>>54730293
if you know where the partition starts and how big it is, you can use a partitioning tool like parted to "restore" it
>>54730337
I could try to do that if TestDisk didn't give out obviously wrong partition parameters. That might have something to do with it not being able to restore things on its own.
