Anyone have mouse recommendation for games? I want one with no smoothing/acceleration.
what do you guys think of this potential build?
probably going to wait for 1070 to be released and price drop

What information or specs do I need to keep in mind when choosing a new HSF for my gaming PC?
Not sure if this is the best place for this, but a porn company is threatening to sue. I didn't use Tor/proxies anything like that

Is there a foss version of winrar for windows or should I just go pirate winrar again to avoid the message spam?
>>54890043
Everyone says ignore it I have never known what happens though. They are definitely trying to shake you down for money but idk if your worth fucking with if you say no.
>>54890043
>$5400
how much did you download?
>>54890291
Use 7-zip.
Is it better to have 6GB ram in 3 sticks running single channel, or have 4GB at dual channel ?
>>54890291
7z can handle rar files with a proprietary plugin.
>>54890325
18 files, asking 300 per
Really scary because I also had downloaded more (all from kat) that some other company might try and fine me with.
My ISP emailed me the letter from the companies asking me to pay a settlement, honestly can't believe I didn't spend 20 minutes learning how to use a proxy desu
>>54890375
it doesn't need any plugins to handle rar files
>>54890404
That's all it is, scare tactics
Either ignore it or tell them something about having your wifi unsecured, delete the files to be safe I guess
Which browser should I use?
I just want something that isn't a botnet.
I'm a total newfag but I checked out the wiki.
Firefox, Icecat, and chromium are "free web browsers", and the rest are "not free" (I guess botnet?).
Which one should I use?
>>54890404
There is no way that they charge $300 a file. They are just trying to shake you up.
If they go to court they have to prove that you did it and they can only win an amount that restores their losses + court costs. If it's a subscription site those 'losses' will be low (like say, one month's subscription fee). They will claim high court costs so say their lawyers charged hourly, but they would also have to prove those costs to the judge. Those costs would only be so high given how straight-forward the case is. In addition there's a risk that they could lose the case, in which case they would have to pay you your court costs etc.
Basically it likely wouldn't be worth taking you to court. I'm not a lawyer but I'd just ignore it.
>>54890474
I went onto the copyrightsettlement site and put in the case specifics, is that too incriminating?

go for DDR4 2400MHz
>>54890524
That's pretty vague, it depends on whether you actually admitted to anything or not

Yeah, DDR3 will not worth with that motherboard

Can someone recommend me a stable version of Firefox that doesn't throttles as much as the latest ? My dad can't use Firefox because it's just freezes randomly on he's pc(Windows 7), I've already checked for viruses or other things I couldn't find none. Before the lasts updates he could use it normally though.
Thanks.
>>54890850
use ffmpeg, it's command line tool, you can download it from here
https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/
you don't need to install anything, just put the video file you want to encode in the bin folder then run command line and use the instructions here:

How do you set up java for programming on windows?
I was following some tutorial, but its giving me path error and whatnot, its so confusing with all the different parts of bullshits (jre, jdk, java ee).
Also which IDE is the most recommended?
>>54891205
I'd say anything below 1080p is considered low resolution for a desktop nowadays

What C language would I be best off trying to learn? C++? C#?
I'd likely not be programming a lot of GUI.
>>54890850
There's this piece of software which is free, or perhaps even open source, which does a really good job at muxing about. Like transferring the h264 and aac/ac3/dts, what have you, into a different container.
But you could also just extract the contents using the mkvtoolnix GUI program.
>>54891365
C++ and C# are completely different.
If you're already using Visual Studio, just go with C# as your first language. It's easy to pickup and there's plenty of good ways to learn it, while still allowing you to do quite a lot with it.
How do i get unsalty at incompetent IT drones and get my drive to do shit back?
I'm pretty much paid to shitpost because of my past achievements at my current company and because I work remote. I just can't bring myself to do any new development though, I've just been maintaining all my past work.
Every time I start work on something I just think. Nobody is going to care if I do this or not, I'll just go shitpost.

when I run a file php from localhost on my browser it work ok
but when I run html with <?php ?> in it - doesn't show anything.
I tried searching it on google but can't find solution. also worth mentioning might be that I need to type sudo in terminal to modify files.
or just could someone tell me other way to test php code when I'm learning it?

Hi, I'm the guy that updated Debian from Jessie to Stretch without removing the Nvidia drivers beforehand so the GUI no longer loaded (startx and xinit did nothing).
After removing (purge) all Nvidia related packages, and removing the Xorg config files, the problem persists, but the logfile is naturally different.
I removed xorg and xinit, updated, rebooted, etc. Nothing. The logfile hasn't changed apparently, but I'll update it shortly just in case.
If you could help me out I would appreciate it greatly.
Thanks in advance.
Here's the (previous, but apparently identical to the new one) logfile.

Don't be a dolt and look up the pros and cons, then decide which fit your situation best.

Ordering a CM devastator (budget), what mouse pad should I get?
Pic related.
>>54891774

True but I've had some that tear and stuff. I've been using A4 papers (discarded lab results) for ages but I'm playing some fps game so I thought it's time to get something half decent.

What kind of proxies can one use for torrenting? Would have used tor but that's tcp. Must I get a VPN of some kind?
What are some good tutorials / books to learn the command line?
I went through the codeacademy one and feel like there's so much more to it.
>>54892118
Buy a VPN. Other than that, your ISP can see what you do through a proxy/VPN anyway rofl

I'm looking for an LTE phone in the US with two gigs of RAM, removable battery, micro SD and rootable for att for around 150. I have a moto e 2 and it won't make call ls even after several factory resets.
I'm building a new pc in a few weeks but from a bit of research i'm still torn between a Haswell or Skylake CPU.
Any advice you guys can give ?
>>54892483
Well Skylake is a newer architecture, so that should be an obvious choice, but there's also Broadwell-E, depending on your budget, if you wanna build a monster.
>>54891117

>>54891429
>>54891458
Thanks everybody. I used mkvtoolnix and it worked.
>>54891365
I'd say C++. It's way harder on you regarding syntax, which forces you to learn shit the "correct" way. Also, when you are proficient at C++, it takes about 1-2 days to get proficient C#.
The opposite isn't true.
I preordered a game on Amazon, just got an email saying I should receive it on the 9th, but on the item page they just updated it with this:
>Want to receive this the day it comes out?
>Order within 54 hrs 57 mins and choose FREE Two-Day Shipping at checkout.
I chose Two-Day Shipping when I ordered the item so does that mean the email was wrong and I will get it on the day it comes out (the 7th)? Or do I need to cancel my order and place it again to get it on the release day for some reason?

>>54893057
You need to contact Amazon and ask them
>>54893144
Eh, quicker to just cancel and re-order, considering it's a preorder so nothing has been charged or processed yet. Now it clearly says "release day delivery" on the order form at least.

>>54893939
Start with the latest mint, learn the CLI, learn commands and work your way up. Just do dumb stuff in Linux for a while until you get the hang of it. Then Move to ubuntu or fedora when you're ready. I prefer fedora / CentOS

>>54893823
Mint may be too much for 128 MB. Maybe Xubuntu or Debian? Mint isn't a good distro anyway since it's built on top of other distros instead of standing on its own. A VM on your current machine, or even a raspiss or chroot on an old smartphone, may be more capable than that old laptop.

The calibre plugin can remove it from everything, not just PDFs. It's pretty straightforward, for Kindle purchases you just have to enter your device ID into the plugin's settings beforehand and then import the book into Calibre from your device and it will strip the DRM automatically, process is very quick and easy.
>>54894201
Also if you're a Bibliotik member there's a nice tutorial up at https://bibliotik.me/tutorials/DRM-Removal

Anything below 85ºC stress testing is okay.
Are you using adaptive voltage instead of static voltage? some applications mostly the ones that use AVX instruction set will push the voltage, this includes most synthetic stress tests.
>>54895579
Yeah, I'm using adaptive. But, when I use override voltage it still pushes it to 1.43 somehow.
I'm not sure if it's because of the motherboard not having llc or not.

>>54895610
>>54895755
Which motherboard?
Do you have some settings like "Adaptive mode" and "Voltage offset" ?
It really isn't a problem unless you're crashing anyway, no game uses the AVX instruction set so far I know only x264 encoding uses it besides synthetic benchmark tests so it's not like its going to happen all the time and any stress test with AVX instructions is almost impossible to past when overclocking the CPU, I've had my 4690K 4.2Ghz crash after 48 hours on Prime95.
They way Haswell and Skylake CPU work now is different specially under FPU loads.
The CPU VID which is the Voltage you set on the motherboard is not the voltage itself as in how much the CPU being feed but is a "voltage table" instead from which the CPU picks a voltage set for a core clock, not all CPUs are the same so having a set voltage for all CPUs wold not work so Intel has this method were there is a voltage table with some leeway for the CPU to pick higher or lower voltages depending on the silicon quality, so to say every CPU at stock comes with an extra voltage offset so all the CPUs can work without crashing or manually have to tune each single one.
The FPU hardware on the CPUs need extra power compared to the rest of the architecture so once you start FPU task like AVX the CPU will ask for more power and once you overclock the CPU the same FPU hardware will ask for even MORE power, see my image.

Is 27" too small for a 4k monitor? I imagine the screen realestate would be nice but would playing video games be too demanding on it? I don't play very often so I'm unlikely to ever invest in a flagship gpu, probably plan to just grab one of the new AMD 480 or maybe 490(when released). Basically is there any reason not to just go with the 4k monitor when it's around the same price/cheaper than a 1440p monitor?
>>54896061
>You're part of the problem, normalfag.
Prove me wrong then
>>54896000
In my case VIN6/VIN12 is what is being actually being feed to the CPU, yup 1.432v when running IntelBurnTest. VID is the Core voltage I set on the BIOS settings which I set to 1.251 but the motherboard override it to 1.261 when running IntelBurnTest.
This is normal behavior even at stock settings, since we can't manually pick voltages for the FPU hardware itself so the CPU has to adhere to the rules set by Intel which is use the VID voltage table + extra voltage needed from the FPU hardware + the increased VID core you set(remember it is a voltage table which is now bigger) the problem just exuberates with crazy voltages under FPU loads.
>>54896145
You're not going to see that kind of load in normal everyday usage not even while encoding X264 though so you don't have to worry and there is most likely a chance you're going to fail Prime95 with AVX instruction set because the CPU will ask for INSANE amounts of voltage under some test, small tests like 4K in general are crazy hot as they request crazy voltages, if you really want to past all Prime95 tests(really hard even at stock clocks with Haswell/Skylake CPUs) set your VCORE/VRING/VCCIN voltage to 1.9V or higher. but not higher than 2.1V. the problem when Prime95 and FPU loads is that they ask crazy amounts of voltage so even if the core voltage you've set can provide it the VCCIN couldn't do it so lets say you have a VCCIN of 1.7v and the CPU suddently ask for 1.4V, you have less than 0.3V leeway(Intel recommends at least 0.4v) and this is when a crash happens.

What I recommend is to install the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, disable all power saving features EIST and all C states on the bios, set your core multiplier and voltage on manual mode, same with the cache multiplier and cache voltage set to manual mode to, if you haven't messed around with it yet leave it at stock settings.
Run the stress test for at least 12 hours, if you fail increase voltages by 0.001.
>>54896000
Ok, so what do I want to set my values at and which voltage method should I use?
1.39v with adaptive voltage has been stable in prime 27.9 for 3 hours, but the voltage ramps up to 1.43. I'd have to test again with override voltage, but it goes down to 1.34v.
A constant voltage isn't being forced since EIST keeps enabling itself in the bios.

Use manual/static voltage and disable all power saving features when stress testing, only use adaptive once you have found your stable settings and you can enable power saving features again.

>>54897518
Always state your use case. I'm assuming 100% gaming here.
More and more games are starting to use 8 core. 8350 has some life left in it. Are you running stock clocks? OC that bad boy, its designed around being OC'd. You can get an extra 400mhz using just the shitty stock cooler that came with it. Even more with a hyper 212 evo or other cheap hs/f. What's the risk? You want to upgrade any way right? If you fry your motherboard, that's just an excuse you can use to go intel.
If you want to move to an intel platform, you will already need a new MoBo anyway, so buying new RAM shouldn't be a problem.

If you have OEM windows, you will need to re-install. There might be system migration tools if you have a regular windows licence though. If you go Intel go skylake for DDr4. Even an i3 6100 beats the 8350 handily (in games), so you'll feel like you upgraded for cheap. The skylake i5's are great. Don't buy i7, that's just pissing away money if you aren't gaming at 4k 60fps.

The video reviews of it seem to show that it has a pretty solid build quality which is more important than specs. My main concern is the lack of Ram which is soldered on and its ability to run even linux half decently. Also would the 11 inch screen get annoying quick?

Im not sure what you are doing or trying to say but what i recommend is that you back up your important data, wipe your drives and do a fresh install of windows 7/10. You can wipe your drives by burning a program called parted magic onto a disk/usb then deleting the partitions (short way) or a program called dariks boot and nuke (long way)
>>54897995
thx for the answer, well I want to stay in the 200-300 price range. Another question could be why are some screen with literally the same or almost same stats have such different prices ?
I mean what's a good contrast ratio for a screen, Asus has a 80 000 000:1 ratio while Lg has a 5 000 000:1 ratio for literally the same price. Acer has a fucking 100 000 000:1...

That can be very limiting when coding. Why not a refurbished ThinkPad or ChromeBook/Crouton? Be aware some listings for 1600 x 900 will actually be 1366 x 768. Is Newegg's service good enough to fix those errors?

a part of the price is build quality, you're more likely to get a perfect panel if you pay more
since panels are such a pain to manufacture there are very few companies (5-6 big ones if memory serves) that actually make them, so chances are an Asus and an Acer might actually use the same panel even if the price is vastly different
Asus is generally a reliable brand, Acer not so much

YouTube Adsense question:
>see extraordinary video
>want to support artist
Now, here is the dilemma
1) want to support artist as much as possible
2) do not want them falsely banned for suspicious traffic (probably not a worry, but definitely don't want that)
So, is the best way to just turn off adblockers and click on an ad, or are there better ways?
Does doing shit on the ad target site affect the youtuber's $revenue?

May as well double up: anyone got useful links for explaining exactly what affects $$$?

I am kinda against cloud computing and the cloud in general. I would prefer to keep my data local and ave access to the full features of my OS regardless of my current internet situation. I've thought about a referb thinkpad, but Ive always been hesitant when it comes to used tech. I have to get this though amazon because the only reason Im getting this is because I have an amazon gift card. Do you know if amazon's referbs are well received? Also what are some models of referb thinkpads that would have the specs and build quality for around $300? Ive always been under the impression that thinkpads under Lenovo have been extremely subpar build quality wise. This is mainly through internet rumor though however when an overseas company acquires an IP for manufacturing it generally isn't a good thing. I'm mainly wanting a laptop for around $300 that has a decent build quality and would be good fr learning C and command line.

>Don't bother. They get shit from Google. You can pay them through Patreon if they have it set up.
Good point, it's beer money at most. But I don't believe this guy has a Patreon/etc. that I can donate to and clicking ads is a one-second job that benefits him (or else he wouldn't bother with ads).
Is there any program for windows which will allow me to keep multiple gigabytes of data synced between my computer and my phone?

friend needs a cheap SSD for his build, looking at something under 70, with 250gb of storage. Suggestions?
I'm using the 850 evo but I think its a little more than he wants to spend.
>>54899214
>cheap
>ssd
If an 850 is too expensive. he dosent need an ssd
>>54899173
This is why you're single.
how well do powerline adapters perform for gaming?
Currently, my ping is ~200ms from using wifi which is awful
>>54899214
google it yourself next time

>>54899235
There are plenty of ssds below 70, I think he has decided that he would get the Samsung 850 Evo for 88 dollars but at that point would he be better off getting a cheaper ssd in 500gb for a little under a hundred?
>>54899310
I have been reading the ssd benchmarks and loads of articles but it's difficult to decide I wanted other opinions.
You act like I haven't been on pcpartpicker all day, I've been helping him with his build.
>>54899320
>below 70
None that are worth using,as they are just resales of cheaper hardware.
>>54898861
Advertisers pay to get clicks. Whether or not they sell anything when someone visits (the conversion rate) is mostly the responsibility of the people who designed the website.
Last time I checked, YouTube wasn't profitable, so its anyone's guess how they determine what channels 'earn' when the cost of hosting them could out weigh the ad revenue for small audiences.
I'm sure if you messaged them and told them you'd contribute to some kind of crowd funding account they'd at least take that as a major confidence booster.
>>54899277
Wifi shouldn't add more than a millisecond to your ping. It can cause lag in other ways, but it's probably not wifi that's making it 200. If it does, there's something seriously wrong with it.
>>54899343
So just get the Samsung 850 at 88 dollars 250gb?
does the same principle apply to 500gb ssds in the low one hundred or 90 dollar range? They exist as well.
>>54899332
>benchmarks
They are the same thing.They are flash memory, they are the same.You're paying for quality
>all day
Then you would know how to use the rating feature they provide,as well as the price rating aswell
>>54899365
Yes get the 850 evo
SSD's larger then 256gb are not needed, No install is going to break this limit(just the system install)
>500gb
There is no need for a 500gb ssd, its a marketing plow for the gaeymurs
>>54899237
so no?
>>54899402
He is a gaymer and so am I. I have a 500gb ssd loaded up with gaymes but I'm hoping 250 is enough for his wangblows and some games. (He doesn't play as many as me)

I'm about to buy my first ever monitor. My options are:

Which one should I go for? Pic related, my current setup.
i instaled a dds plugin for photoshop cs3 and enabled plugins in preferences, but when i try to open one it says it can't. what do i do?
>>54899512
So if he's paying for quality should I just tell him to spend the extra and get the 850?
I don't see why you're implying all controllers, memory etc. is the same. If that was the case they wouldn't bench so differently and have varying life spans.
>>54899440
You fell for the meme then.
There is no reason to put games on an ssd.
>>54899540
It's often better to not skip the fun loading screens, but Source Engine's loading can be very jarring.
>>54899487
see pic
>>54899514
I wouldn't get a 1080 larger than 24 inches. 1440 is good at 27. Why are those your only options?
>>54899568
thanks babe. It's now clear as an azure sky of deepest summer.
>>54899564
Loading screen graphics arent huge image files that are loaded, its simple shit
Ok your ssd loaded it 0.0000000000023% faster then an hdd
Great accomplishment chap
>>54899532
Ignore benches. It's marketing by another name for SSDs. Real world there's no difference unless you buy something with a known issue (like the Kingston SSDNow V300 Series).
Samsung are a trusted brand and lots own it and confirm it's quality. That's why it's recommended, but really... get anything he can afford that's had a refresh of its controller in the past 2 years and is a brand that is trusted.
I'd suggest the OCZ Trion 100 from that list. I've not heard bad feedback about them.
>>54899588
cant tell if sarcasm
also, check if I'm right; I disregarded the "x > 2" part
>>54899603
I mean you don't get to see fun stuff they put on loading screens when the game files are on an SSD.
>>54899609
Sorry, Trion 150. It's the refresh of the 100.
>>54899603
It's better for your GPU that you duck past the loading screens quickly. Some are so simple the GPU puts out 2000fps on them. No point them doing that with regularity.
>>54899579
Price and reviews. I would get a 1440p one but the good ones are a little expensive. Ive researching the past few days, and that's what Ive found. Should I go for the 24" one then?
>>54899630
My point
>>54899630
Games shouldn't do that if put together correctly. If they are, you can limit refresh rate with Nvidia Inspector. Does FTL still do it?
>>54899609
>>54899621
How are benchmarks meaningless? How else do you garage an ssd? Also sammy has such huge sales numbers and reliability for the 850 Evo.
Is that not worth the 18 dollars over the Trion?
>>54899714
I can't answer someone else's opportunity cost proposition.

Okay I really like the botnet that is chrome.
For some reason it changed in the last week and I tried googling for solutions and I couldn't find any.
For example.
When I typed "go and clicked enter I'd reach google.com.
Now when I do that I reach a screen saying that go isn't a website.
The first couple of solutions while googling didn't fix the problem, so I ask here.

Is it possible/advisable to make a computer case out of my dead cat?
>>54897750
No. The USB ethernet adapters require a driver to operate, you can't just plug it into a game controller. It's not like a VGA -> DVI adapter or something that just rearranges physical pins.
>>54900759>>54900759
Yes/No
>>54900801
It's not like a network adapter, it's basically a USB over cat5 converter, so the Xbox would just see the controller
>>54900859
Oh, really? Didn't know such a thing existed, in that case I guess there's no reason it wouldn't work provided the signal is not altered in either conversion.
