Does network traffic coming from the internet get routed to the computer based on the internal IP address or the mac address?
I would assume the internal IP address but if so, how come cloning someones mac address on your network can start causing shit to happen?
>>
>>55174998
Probably best to check connections then.
Otherwise start eliminating components. Or it could even be a restart from your temps being too high, but you probably would have mentioned that.

W10 download probably isn't doing it, but to be completely assured, you could look up which updates to delete and stuff.

Yo I'm kinda a noob at coding at wanted to start a project to extract statistics from csgo demo files with Java. I've only taken one programming class that was pretty basic, but I figured I could learn more by actually doing a project on my own. So I have my .dem files that I want to extract data from, but I dunno really where to start. It looks like pic related, not really decipherable. I'm not asking for a step by step explanation of what I need to do, I'd just like to know what stuff I need to learn how to do/research to be able to do this. I asked someone that has comp sci experience and they mentioned I should make a database to decipher the file but I don't know if that's right.

Reposting, because I'm still clueless about this.

Guy with the 970 shitting itself on GTAV posting again.

Shit's still on warranty, but how can I convince costumer support that the card is faulty? How can I even be 100% sure?

Shit drops to 45 fps even on TF2 sometimes paired with an i5 4690k.

More insight, it always happens on startup, after launching the game a couple of times it works fine. It also didn't happen last year when I built the computer.

Why would you want this? If any point should physically fail, you'd want it to be the slot and not the area around the anchor point, which would fuck up more of the mobo than just the slot, and certainly not the card itself.

Need to suggest a good prebuilt PC to a friend that lives half the word away, so no chance of helping him building it.

Found this on Newegg for 1k$

Intel Core-i5-4690K (3.5GHz)
16GB DDR3 |1TB HDD
Nvidia GTX 970 4GB
No name 600W power supply
(lol "gaming" keyboard + mouse)

For the price, all in all is not a bad pick for a prebuilt, is it?
>>
>>55177206
I'm not really up on graphix cards but unless that's a six/seven hundred dollar card, you are reccing something way overpriced to your friend, gimme a sec to look around and I'll find something better for ya

I've only owne my one smartphone (iphone 4) for a few years now and I can't stand it. I don't use apps, I don't have any social media, I hate touchscreen keyboards.

The only thing I use it for is texting and music occasionally (road trips). I browse 4chan as well.


What's the best dumbphone out there? Are they even an option now?
I really don't want another smartphone and I don't want to drop hundreds of dollars on one because I couldn't give less of a shit about a fucking phone. It's just necessary I have one otherwise I wouldn't at all.

I'd say get something like this

Depends on the CPU cooler and power supply


I'd much prefer to pay an extra $100 and get a better power supply than have a dodgy one.

Never go under tier 3 desu

And if the cpu cooler sucks and your friend has no idea how to install a new one it'll just end up with unhappy performance and overheating. Especially if they plan to play games, stock cooler will easily hit 80c+

What's the best way to destroy a hard drive?

>>
>>55178284
Yeah, the drill.
>>
>>55178284
Just overwrite it once with DBAN or GNU shred. If bad sector count is zero, no one is recovering anything. If there are bad sectors, there's probably not anything sensitive that happens to be on them. Then the drive can continue to be used. Or you could take it apart and keep the magnets. The platters will explode into dust if bent far enough. Do this inside a bag and/or with gloves and eye protection, outside.

Does anyone here have any experience with ASUS's RMA process? Specifically with regards to monitors? What's the quality of it all like (i.e. how long it takes, how good the repairs actually are, etc.), and how liberal are they with repeated returns (i.e. could I keep returning until I got a monitor that wasn't shit). I played the panel lottery with a PG279Q, and unfortunately, it has a dead pixel that annoys the fuck out of me. I would just ask for a replacement via Newegg, but I'm pretty sure they'd just refund me.

They actually do reduce eye strain from screens. They've been marketed to gamers for some reason under the notion that they spend ludicrous time in front of a TV or monitor

idk, but any additional layers of anything will reflect more higher energy wavelengths, and that could potentially reduce eyestrain. If you don't have a matte monitor, you should demand one.

That laptop is worth about $200. Did you steal it?

You may be able to access the boot menu by taking out the CMOS battery and waiting or a while. Or maybe you can just press a hotkey like F12. If all else fails, you could stick the hard drive in a different PC to install GNU/Linux with a generic kernel and it will boot.

>>
>>55174991
So I have had an issue with my Nexus 5s power button for about a month. I've only now gone to fix it.
It seemed to be stuck on, as it would constantly reboot once it got past the Google logo. Now I think I've fixed the button, because I can reliably get into fastboot and browse the options, but the phone won't make it past the 'four dots' when booting. At best I'll see one, it'll freeze and then reboot.
I've tried going into the recovery mode, but it'll sit at the "no command" icon and then reboot after 5 seconds.

What should I do? Also, the microUSB port doesn't work.

You at some point in your uptime, told your computer to do things. Even if "you're not running anything",it is respoding to the things you have told it to use.

There is no "too much cpu"
There is no "too much ram"

Your system is doing what you told it to do.It is reacting to the things you told(background) or are telling it to do now.

Just this simple.

WD blue are good drives. THere's a chart talking about toshiba but if I remember there was only a few ones tested. and the hitachi are quite expensive.

About the GPU the prices drop already happen, at least in my country. The thing is that the 29 AMD will probably announce the release of the RX 470 and 480 that will be on your budget. For the same price of a 380 you'll get better performances, and it will have a lower consumption (so you'll have to change your PSU I think).

>>55182562
because of the energy efficiency you shouldn't take a too powerful PSU. Technically your build idle should draw at least 20% of your PSU capacity (so if your PSU is a 500W your computer idle should draw at least 100W) and on load your computer should draw 80% of your PSU capacity (for a 500W PSU your computer have to draw 400W).
Having an efficient PSU for your computer should reduce the waste of energy, and it will heat less (and it will be more quiet).

the i3 6100 have a power consumption of 47W and the RX 480 have a power consumption of 150W. a 500W is a bit too much I think.
