Ask you're literally retarded questions in this thread. If your lucky you might even get a reply.
Use a search engine first to make sure the answer isn't out there on the interwebz. Use Startpage or Duckduckgo. The rest are fucking botnets.

PROTIP: If you don't get a reply, installing Gentoo will probably solve your problem.
How do I conveniently benchmark two graphics cards I have lying around? One card is amd and the other one is nvidia
If I boot up arch linux and backup an eMMc with windows and UEFI to a file using 'dd', and then later write it out using 'dd' again to the same eMMc, will it resume working as it did before?
Stupid question here.
Google wallet banned me from buying shit from the app store. The reason is honestly unknown. If I knew the reason, I knew how to fix it and I would tell you guys because idgaf anonymous basket weaver forum. But I honestly do not know why.
I contacted them and they asked me for verification documents. After one week or so I gave in and send those jews a copy of my drivers license and bank transfer. And then I got the message it was declined and they didn't gave me a reason because blabla we reserve the right without notice this and that.
I tried contacting them ever since but they dont reply to me.
Then I made a new emailadress at google or a new account and tried to buy something from the app store again but then I got the same fucking problems.
Does anyone know how I can fix it so I can buy something from the app store again?
I will tell this again: i honestly did not do anything wrong/illegal/fraudulent. I googled and more people are experiencing these issues, but google cant help or doesnt want to.
If anyone knows how I can solve this without me formatting my entire phone/buying a new phone and making a new identity through a new IP or whatever is needed I would be appreciate it.
thanks

I recently bought a sandisk ultra ii ssd, but it kept bsoding on me. I tried solving every problem from switching achi to ide, etc but it never worked, so i am assuming that the drive itself is broken
Are the 850 evos any more "reliable" than the ultra iis? I wouls really like to use an ssd in my build but i dont want to deal with these problems any longer.

I am very sorry that you feel that way. You see I do not have much in life, i'm not very smart and I was only hoping someone would tell someone like me maybe how I could resolve this issue. As I do not have much going for me and I don't have much time to be on the internet I was just hoping someone would know.
I want to apologise to you for the inconvenience caused by my bump. I understand if you guys don't want to help me anymore because of it.
But still I want to thank you for your time of reading and replying. I didn't mean to upset you.
Have a good night I guess.

My Daz-activated Windows 7 Ultimate didn't push any upgrade shit on me. It wasn't even eligible. But I went out of my way to install Windows 10 when my boot drive was failing because it's a better operating system :^)
>>54838520
Fuck. I really hope I don't turn on my desktop and have to deal with this windows 10 bullshit.
>>54838521
I know, I'm surprised too. But I did the bare minimum to get my degree. All I want to do is fly jets or helos, so I didn't really care at the time.
Whats weird is that now that I've graduated college and gotten a degree, I kind of want to re-learn all the bullshit I memorized, like functional programming and formal languages and automata. I got good grades, but I didn't actually learn and understand the material. I'm just really, really good at memorization.
>>54838553
Is your Windows 10 free?

I mean. Is it pirated? I don't want to pay. I want to upgrade too.
What program should I use to make graphs?

So I have a question about salt/hashes.
Basically, I understand that when you enter a password a unique salt is added, the whole thing is hashed, and then that output is compared with whatever database the website has, and if the hashes match it determines your password is valid.
My question is how it knows which salt to add before it has confirmed if you entered the correct password or not.
Is the salt associated with the username?
>>54838888
The salt is stored with the hash.
Nice numbers btw
Have 1200 usd to buy a new monitor(s), I will be mainly used for gaymz and anime
Will be powered by a 1080
>>54838908
>the salt is stored with the hash
So if you enter a password into a website it will have the salt also stored separately as plain text?
Wouldn't that not work though because I thought the password+salt gets hashed, so even if it had the salt stored as plain text it wouldn't be able to determine the full hash.

My coursework requires coding and such. Will installing Arch or another linux thingy (I wanna rice and stuff) affect using IDEs and such.
Or should I get that program that allows me to dual boot OS's so I can use 2.
So this whole automatic update to windows 10 has gotten me pretty salty. If I were to start learning how to use Linux, what kind of stuff can I not do w/ Linux that I'm probably use to doing?
I'm mainly worried about games. CK2, HoI3/HoI4, the occasional shooter games, stuff on steam, etc.
Can Linux do pretty much everything but games?
>>54838933
>I thought the password+salt gets hashed
They do. The database entry probably looks something similar to this:Username | Password | Salt
Anon | ac4f3... | 28c4
The Password entry is the hash of the user's password + 28c4. When the password is received, it is combined with the salt and hashed to produce ac4f3...
>>54838994
I can't accurately comment on the IDE's being affected in any way, but I don't think there will be any difference.
As for dual booting, you don't need any third party program to do it. You would just need to partition your drive and install one OS on one and the other OS on the other partition.
>>54839013
Thanks, that cleared it up for me.

Thanks anons, gonna go 4K
Windows 10 installed and they tried to choose to go back to windows 7 during the installation, but it messed something up.
It can't boot windows, even safe mode. Repair options fail give some kind of registry error and restore says it can't find the drive.
I'm using ubunto live on usb to access the drive.
Is there a way to find the windows product key so I can try reinstalling 7?
Everything I found was for using windows programs within windows.
>>54839063
Since you mentioned you'll be getting a 1080 have you looked at the 4K benchmarks? It doesn't reliably hit 60fps in most games so personally I wouldn't recommend going with 4K over 1440p, but ultimately it's still your choice.
If you're ok with turning some settings down then it would be fine of course.
>>54839063
NOOOOOOO.

Okay guys, another stupid question, in the middle of a gaming build, how does this look?
>>54839077
Is it a laptop or desktop?
If it's a laptop chances are the Windows key is hardcoded and it'll automatically pick it up when you try reinstalling windows.

>the Windows key is hardcoded and it'll automatically pick it up when you try reinstalling windows.
Can you explain more what that means?
There was a sticker on the bottom that apparently had the key but it's been worn away and they don't have the manufacturer's cd.
If it is "hardcoded", how would I go about reinstalling windows?
>>54839161
I got it for £160 a few months ago, scan had them in cheap, and it's all i could afford at the time.
Ok this is most likely a /dpt/ question but it's potentially really stupid so I'm posting it hereint True=0;

Can a Steam controller work with a generic USB bluetooth receiver? Or does it have to be the official one that ships with the controller?

im installing linux on an SSD with 16GB RAM. is it really conventional wisdom to dedicate 32GB as swap??
I've successfully used arch linux before installed on a usb stick with no swap before. Is the double the swap of your installed ram still relevant?
I don't know exactly how to ask this since its very specific so
my computer got fucked and i am going to restart from scratch, i know about the risks of creating a backup file by now i just want to know exactly how far i can go, are newly created files for the sake of storage (like notepad documents and screencaps) safe?

Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 8.1 Pro? Is Windows 7 still receiving security updates?
>>54840627
Actually, let me add some detail. I run Windows 8.1 and Linux Mint in dual boot. I tried installing Windows 10 multiple times, and it failed to properly install every time. I've since gone back to Windows 8.1, but the install files from Windows 10 are still there and taking up all the space left of the partition.
I'm going to wipe said partition and reinstall Windows. Should I stick with 8.1 or go with Windows 7 Ultimate?
>>54840627
Windows 10 or Ubuntu 16.04
>>54840657

when computers didn't had a lot of RAM, it was necessary to have the double of your ram as SWAP. Nowadays, if you got 4GB or more your swap and the RAM should be the same size.

I'm kinda tech illiterate but I through some googling I figured since we're on the same LAN I don't have to setup complicated dns stuff and whatnot.
I've got the server on a USB key and plan to just plug and install it whenever (we use his computer to watch TV series together so access is easy whenevr he goes to take a leak).
How do I make sure it stays undetected by any antivirus he might have? Disabling it is out of the question since I'm pretty sure he'd notice that.

Is there some way I can keep track of all the files being created, and what's creating them, on Win7? I'm hoping for my next installation to be my last Windows installation, short of a motherboard failure, and I want to try to manually remove any bullshit programs leave behind when I uninstall them. Same question for Linux, I'm going to start switching over and I want to keep my installation going as long as possible.
I need a cheap ~120gb SSD for my poorfab t60 thinkpad. What brands/model do you guys recommend ?
can you redpill me on the amd GPU made by sapphire ? How comes their prices are so low compared to the other brands ?
Also when can we expect polaris ?
>>54842130
Auditing
Let's say someone has some files and creates .7z archive in 7-zip with a particular set of settings. Then I take the exact same files arranged in exactly the same way (same names/directory structure/etc) and make a .7z archive on my computer, using the exact same settings they did.
Will I get the same .7z archive that they have? If I hash checked both would they come out equal? If no, does anyone know why not? Is there some randomness involved in the algorithm that would cause this, or is it some other factor based on differences between our systems or the time we do it or something else?
>>54842186
If you use the exact same command and they are identical files, then yes
>>54842252
Alright, that's good to know. Often found dead torrents with files I had but archived differently and wondered if I could seed them if I could figure out what settings the guy used, never bothered to try though.
>>54835428
I've heard people say "your modem and router should not be too close" because of interference or something. Is this true??
I ask because I have a 6-inch Cat6 I would rather use than my Cat5e (Although it wouldn't make a difference for me). Would 6 inches straight line be far enough?
>>54842272
There is no need to seperate them.
>>54839596
Try changing the directory of the file or may be use a different browser.
>>54842175
Cheers mate, at a glance, it seems like exactly what I need. It can log creation too, not just changes, right?
>>54842519
Yup, if any thing touches it or is created, youll have full information on it
I was getting BSOD when playing games on win 7 64bit. After some bsods here and there, the pc won't boot. I'm getting nonstop long beeps. The event manager was saying critical error kernel power 41.
specs:
amd phenom II x4 960T
8gb ram
gtx 970
gigabyte 970a-ud3 mobo
corsair hx650 psu
The mobo's manual says continuous long beeps means gpu not properly inserted. But
I tried switching the GPU with a 6850, but the problem persisted. Also the 970's logo lights up when I turn the PC on. Already tried switching the memory sticks, still the same issue.
whata going on?

The 970 is just in there as a placeholder for the 1070, so the actual price will be like $50 more.

When you do for example "apt-get install program" in linux, do you download the source code and compile the program or do you just download a already compiled program.
And when you download a open source compiled program, how can you know that the compiled code truly is what they claim to be the source code?
480 is £10 cheaper
but the 570 is slightly better
which do I get?
>>54842980
Get an ssd
Get 16gb of ram
>>54843055
You can compile it your self and compare the has.
>>54843068
I'm really considering getting an ssd, but just for windows. Would that be worth it or should I save up for a large ssd for everything?
The 16gb ram is also something I plan on getting probably later on this year though.
>>54843068
but 32 > 16
>>54843088
Get a small SSD just for your essentials, it's a waste of money for anything more at this point.

A Samsung 850 EVO 256GB is more then enough. Store your data on the platter drives.Just store the windows system on the ssd

So my laptop is starting to get old and outdated and beat to shit, and I'm thinking about getting a new one bc I just got my tax return. Problem is, I'm dirt poor and the most I could do for a new laptop would be 300 bucks.
I used to have a nice little thinkpad, but that kicked the bucket about a year and a half, two years ago and since then I've been using a cheapo chromebook. I don't need the powerhouse of a computer my thinkpad was back when I was constantly doing technology oriented things, but it would be nice to at least have some ability to do that stuff again. Messing around with programs, some network testing, maybe some image editing, just standard tinkering. My chromebook isn't capable of that, but I don't know what else is out there.
Also, what would be a good OS to put on what I end up getting? I used to use arch but that's a pita sometimes, and I remember using backtrack/kali the last time I did any pentest stuff. Is that still a good choice? pls I've basically been out of the computing loop for the past year or two so idk what's going on
What makes that a CPU or GPU consume more or less power ?
okay i know this shouldn't be happening..
i thought the array class was managed?
>>54843384
What are the physical requirements for the laptop?
You should be able to get an x220 or t420 in good condition for under $300.
Kali is still probably the best for pentesting.
As for daily driver, give debian a shot.
I'm gonna buy a new pc with a GTX1080 this fall.
What processor should I get with it for the best gaming performance that won't cost a ridiculous amount? 6700k?
>>54843551
I think a 6500K would be sufficient. Most games aren't very CPU reliant anyway.
What is the black, long PCIe slot on my motherboard for? It says it is a PCIe 3.0 x16 (max at x4 mode) slot. So I'm assuming that means it only has the bandwidth of an x4 slot (or is it more proper to say it has 4 lanes?), but uses an x16 physical connector for some reason? What's the purpose of doing that? My only guess is that it's for crossfire because my motherboard says it supports that and has no other slots for a second GPU, but that makes no sense if it's not a regular x16 slot.
>>54843608
yeah it's for crossfire, and yeah crossfire doesn't make use of full x16 for both cards.
>>54843512
I'm used to a smaller screen, my last two have been 10-12in.
I have lying around an old t500, but the battery is useless and the screen hinge is shattered, not to mention it's gigantic and heavy. My old lenovo is an x230 that physically is ok looking, but the battery again is kaput and the wireless card is nonfunctional to the point I can't even see it when I lspci or check wicd to see if it's visible there. Not to mention booting a cuckbuntu usb drive with a billion drivers on it and it still is like the thing doesn't exist, so that's fucked.
Pic related are my current laptops, the white one being the one I'm using right now
Is getting a used laptop really a good idea? I've only ever bought new laptops, or found old ones scavenging through a local scrapyard
>>54843662
Buying used is generally alright if it's refurbished. I don't have any experience actually buying used laptops straight from random people, but that's something I'd stay away from.
>>54843649
So if I only have one GPU, it'll only work in the gray slot? Does that work because Crossfire only sends some information to the second GPU, it's not like running two GPUs at full capacity? What about Nvidia's SLI, I know that uses a physical bridge you attach to tops of the GPUs and doesn't use the motherboard like Crossfire does. Could I do SLI on my motherboard, or does it need two regular x16 slots?
>>54843718
yeah, I took a look at my CL and it seemed sketchy as fuck. I bet 90% of that stuff is hot anyway
d-does anyone here know anything about the lenovo ideapad 100s? it's affordable, but idk if the thinkpad quality crosses over to the ideapads
When you're looking for an SSD is there some brands to avoid and brands better than the others ?
And if you can say why a brand is to be avoided would be great.
isn't there a cheap device that tests the state of a PSU?
Is it possible to take the disk from an external hard drive and put in inside a PC?
>>54843867
It'll work in either slot, you can put a PCIe x16 GPU in an x1 slot and it'll work. You should stick with the gray slot though.
Is there an alternative to Genymotion that supports bluetooth emulation and networking?
I don't want to pay 417 bucks for a two week project. That's more than I earn in a month.
>>54836631
Try the selector #postForm, not sure how to convert that to a filter, maybe ###postForm or ##\#postForm?
>>54843961
I have to stick to the gray slot, my PSU doesn't leave enough room for a GPU to be in the black slot unless I like installed a water cooler on it, or there's a really thin GPU out there I guess. I was just curious about what that slot was for and how all this stuff works. Thanks.

>>54844021
It seems like a good deal, but I'd be cautious about getting an 1150 socket motherboard when 1151 is already out, you won't ever be able to upgrade the processor. The motherboard is the last thing to you'd want to skimp out on because it's the most important part to future proof given that it needs to be compatible with future upgrades of the other parts.

People here mostly do care about their privacy but at a certain point it just becomes a pain in the ass to use foss only, encrypt everything, etc.
Not to mention for actual privacy you would need to make everyone you communicate with use the same safety measures that you are using, which is pretty much impossible.

Are you kidding? Look at that drop in 2013, when Snowden started leaking those documents about the NSA/their collaboration with other intelligence agencies across the globe. Obviously not all of the drop can be attributed to that, but it caused a lot of it.
Can I remove my HDD from my old laptop and attach it to an enclosure for my new laptop?
>>54844186
There are a lot of other factors contributing to this besides the snowden leaks. Those leaks probably stayed in most people's minds as long as they were making headlines but I'm sure they've forgotten about them by now.
In general people dislike the government because of the fuckass methods they spend money, like dumping all of our finances into the military when there are people without food or shelter in some parts.

I'm getting pretty tired of websites detecting that I have an adblocking extension installed and then stopping me from viewing their website.
I used to have a TamperMonkey script installed that would help prevent that from occurring, but it doesn't seem to help anymore (I guess it's probably outdated).
Is there a highly recommended extension or browser script that will help prevent websites from detecting an adblocker?
>>54843953
Most likely, I've cracked a few open and they actually had USB3 interface directly on the HDDs PCB. There's only one way to find out

Refurbished business laptops are alright. Check that it has a good resolution and be aware anything you buy online could be a 1366 x 768 even if the page says it's something higher like 1600 x 900.

If you intend to stay with that ISP at least a year, you should buy a modem instead of renting. But don't have your family do this because it shifts the demarcation point and then you're expected to do more when there's nothing you can do about outages on their end.

If they want my patronage, they'll have to do better than spewing advertisements at me that eat up my time and are obnoxiously unrelated to anything I'd care about purchasing.
I get that the website relies on advertisements to pay the bills. But I refuse to subject myself to the mindless advertising schtick just so I can feel better about myself for "supporting" the site.
Luckily Anti-Adblock Killer seems to do a good job of preventing websites from detecting my adblock.
>>54843953
Yes, I actually just tested that a few days ago. I took a hard drive from an old computer and had been using it as an external hard drive by using pic related. I decided why not just take the hard drive out and install it inside my computer to use it to run Ubuntu off of it. I checked to make sure it was working inside Windows at first and all the files and shit was still there, you don't have to reformat or anything to go from using a hard drive externally to internally.
Now if you're talking about an external hard drive that you bought as an external hard drive, I'm not sure. Some of them use custom form factors I think, and possibly custom connections (not sata) as well.

I'm using the gigabyte 990fxa-ud5. I've been using it since 2013 without any problems until recently.
>>54844429
Check the bios for turbo, and throttling options.
Check your gfx software and look for throttling and the baseline clock setting
>>54844273
Mine started doing that.
It would also lock up when converting video
MB is a gigabyte 990fx UD3 (I think)
I limited the CPU usage to 95% and it's been fine since
>>54844474
The UD5 is a good board. Next thing I'd try is to run prime 95 blend test and see if you get any crashing.
Can i plug in two hard drives in a computer, and install windows from one to another?
>>54844273
>crash at test
That should be enough to tell you what to do
>>54844528
Ok, I"m starting the test now.
>>54844540
it's called cloning a hard drive
>>54844528
>>54844556
I ran the test and within 5 seconds my computer restarted. It's a shame prime95 doesn't do automatic logs so I can see what happened.
Should I buy an fx 8350 for gaming now, or wait until the am4 chipsets are out? Until then I'm stuck with a phenom ii x2, and it doesn't look like the 8350 bottlenecks that hard even into titan x territory, which is the level I'll be upgrading to for this next gen of gpus.
>>54844488
I've checked the bios for any of those options and any fan options but I haven't come across any of those. As for graphics software, I'm using the nouveau driver so I'm not quite sure if it does that by default.
>>54844546
I understand that you think it can be the CPU but intelburntest also tests ram too.

>>54844622
>nouveau
kek
Good luck with that.Most shit has no freq/mem clocking
>>54844587
Your CPU is being fucky then. I suggest going into your bios and manually setting your cpu to a lower frequency (just drop the multiplyer a little) and then repeat the test.
>>54844629
Then run memtest
and then prime95 in safe mode?
Not trusting a test,why did you even run it?
From what you're reporting is happening, it surly is a hardware problem
Does anyone know if I can install OpenWRT on the Trendnet TEW-650AP?
>>54844644
ubuntu or something the driver supports natively probably has the best support for least amount of hassle, I know that on fedora the drivers consistently need patching before even working
>>54838145
Honestly anyone on /g/ who did not disable updates does not belong here.
>wiped Windows partition and installed Windows 7
>installation is funky
>no drivers at all on first boot
TECHNOLOGY. Time to troubleshoot. Now, I was under the impression that the drivers were included in the OS installation, but I guess I was wrong. Is it common to have to install ethernet controllers and whatnot? Seriously, I thought this was standard stuff.
>>54844668
Because it can be more than just one thing causing it.
>>54844653
If this is the case, would it be a problem with the PSU or MB?
Also thanks guys for the help.

And since I can't test at the moment, how effective is running Windows in a VM? I know running a game or something of the like would be too intensive, but I wouldn't mind just being able to run the stray program without having to reboot constantly.
>>54835428
Why do linux games always run like shit for me? I still install drivers (open source) which many say are better than nvidia/amd closed source at this point, but I still cant run l4d2 at over 60 fps, when on WIndows I get around 300.
So My office internet connection is fast as fuck and they dont filter sites like torrent and porn

>Not knowing what a bottleneck is
>not knowing the synergy hardware creates
>>54844689
There is no information about it. I'm having a google right now m8.
>>54844721
Most likely it is the CPU or possibly RAM. It could be anything which is why I suggest you underclock the CPU and see if that fixes the problem or helps us narrow down the issue
>>54838437
>Seeing as how I have a b.s. in comp sci

I dont want to clone it, i just want to install iso from one hard drive to another, since i wont be getting any optical drives and i never had the need to buy a usb stick.
>>54844693
how ironic because I'm currently using fedora lmao. Ubuntu or Mint it is
>>54844736
because using the driver developed by the company that makes the chip that is fine tune for windows is going to be 10000x better than using a driver developed by a community of randoms for a chip not tuned for linux
>>54844762

Alright guys, well for now I will run memtest so I will be back in however long it takes and I will post results. Thank you again guys, I really appreciate it.

Yeah but shoudlnt it at least be close? I have seen Ubuntu benchmarks with my card and they perform a lot better. I have an old "gaming" laptop that used to run l4d2 at around 120-150 that barely pushes 25 in fedora now.

What are my options here? How can I get my external drive to work inside my PC?

>>54844981
Not in Germany :^)
They arent limited because joe upper middle class,thinks he will be hot shit with a car that can go 150/200 mph.Its a marketing gag.
Did you honestly thing all those fags in lambo/ferrari/bmw/lexus?
They wont ever see even over 100mph out in the public. And they are too busy making that money to have lesiure time to go fast

I've been told it's 5 rearms but I've had a system report that it had 1000 rearms, there's a few programs you can get that report the remaining rearms you have
I had to delete my ext4 partition (it had ubuntu) because it got corrupted, I used MiniTool Partition Wizard and it detected said partition, it was 97GB total with 88GB of used space, I tried to restore it, but it only restores 44GB with 22GB of used space, why?

I was waiting a while for the 6950x only to find out it would be $1,500. Figured I'd wait for release and see if I could work it in anyway and now it's $1,750. Way over the original estimation of $1K.
At this point I just want to buy one of those dual computer cases and run two setups. One with a "normal" CPU like a 6700K or low end Broadwell-E and another with some cheap Xeons, like the $60, 8-core+HT E5-2670. The normal CPU would take care of things that need high per core power and the Xeons would take anything you can just chuck cores at.
I've never messed with a server board setup in my life. Is there anything I should know or look out for? Any difficulties I'm going to run into as soon as I actually have it? I know I need a special compatible motherboard which is $300+ in this case and ECC RAM I believe. I don't even know how to offload tasks to another computer, really. I've always done it on the same computer. I've also never put two processors on the same motherboard, which I would with the two Xeons.
The more I think about it the more I realize this might actually be cheaper anyway, even if it's a bit of a hassle. I'm also open to ideas.
>>54845518
What are these "tasks"?
>>54845617
Mainly encoding, sometimes rendering.

>>54845518
You're really over thinking this bro. I get you want to use a dual cpu board, to brag about it in the guts/bst threads. But unless you're constantly needing 128-256GB and both processors running 100% round the clock, there is no reason to do this.
Save your money and wait for prices to drop on the next gen
I'm trying to figure out if I want to go easy mode and get an RGB light strip that has a remote control
>http://www.ebay.com/itm/311428103508
Or take the fun path of setting up an arduino board and learning how that all works. I don't think it will be a problem once I have everything I need, but it's figuring out that I find difficult right now. I need an RGB strip that is at 10.5ft long (or longer) but I'm not sure where to go from there.
Help /g/?
>>54845710
Both processors are actually going to be pushed constantly. The entire reason of buying them is that a semi-current i7, which I already have, just isn't cutting it.
Nevermind, I'll just spend a few days figuring everything out on Google. I know people here don't like things that aren't budget price:performance parts but it was worth a shot.

I type "passwd" on the terminal, press enter.
Then I get:

C++/algorithm question. I did a rough A* implementation and I did a temporary solution of returning a std::stack (as value) of waypoints as a result. The algorithm causes a freeze when it's used by a 100 objects in a row to find paths. How good of an improvement can I expect by correcting the copying of data to stacks? Could this be the least of my problems? Any good ideas how to make it work better for many objects?

su and type passwd 'user' and see what happens.

Alright guys I keep failing here and I will post pics of the test.
>>54846859
>>54846900
It's a very limited system, I know, so it comes down to, knowing how command passwd 'knows' an user exist or doesn't, so I can fix it manually.
>>54846981
10 seconds isnt long enough of a test,but in this case it seems it is lol.
>>54846900
If su dosent exist that would be a bigger problem then what you are attempting to do now.
>>54847005
It reads passwd
If the user does not exist,why not just create it?
>>54847076
It restarts at 10 seconds. I couldn't keep it longer if I wanted to.

Go to disk manager and you should be able to change the drive names.But im pretty sure windows wont let you do it on a live system.
Get gparted or parition magic and change it then reboot

Can you try a different ram slot on the mobo, might get fussy at you for doing so but will help determine if the mobo is at fault, normally you'd want the ram in the first or third slot so either of those should do

Hi I'm an idiot from a board with Unique IDs
Is there an extension that allows me to "label" IDs?
Clicking an ID to highlight it only allows me to highlight one at a time.
Ideally I'd want to be able to write a custom label ("OP", "furfag", "mentally ill tranny" etc) so that when I see a new post in a thread I'd have an idea who it was (provided they posted before in the thread and I had labeled them).
I just installed 4chan X to check if it did this and it did not, and when I uninstalled it my native extension got screwed and I had a bitch of a time to get it working again so now I'm wary of installing 4chan extensions just to check if they can do this
>>54847951
I've had them at the second and forth slot for a few years. I will reseat them. But just one stick at a time?

Yea one stick at a time and just slap it in different slots, dunno if it will boot in all slots but give it a go
