I have a problem with the desktop version - hyper links won't open when I click them. I have Chrome set as my default browser (inb4 botnet) and tried running the program as admin, but neither helped.
Any suggestions?
>>55187520
OS? I'm guessing Windows because you said `run as admin` and not `run as root`.
What router should replace my WRT54G? There's a deadzone where my TV is, and I need something that isn't 10 years old so that that isn't a problem anymore. Also looking to have it route my connections through my VPN, while leaving my roommates untouched.
The main reason for upgrading will be streaming games over a Steam Link, so I don't know if it needs that MIMO/MU-MIMO stuff or not. I'm still on 802.11g, so I'm not really up on any of the latest advances in not-sucking.

Yeah, 8.1.

Are there multiple listings for Chrome in the menu that lets you choose which browser to use? Try another listing.
>>55187545
Try changing your "Default Browser" settings in Windows.
>>55187558
There is only one, but I think you're on the right track, after selecting it and launching Chrome it said it was no longer the default. Weird.
>>55187652
Weird. I haven't actually used Discord, I just Google'd the problem, the first couple of results were Reddit posts suggesting trying other listings of Chrome, making sure Chrome was the default, and reinstalling Chrome. Saw each of em fix someones problem, so, ya'know, try those things.

I tried all of those, even just reinstalled it again.

At what point does it make sense to use rackmount cases over normal cases when using multiple computers? I'm planning on building a NAS and have tossed around the idea of hosting my own email (which would likely result in me later hosting other services). Would it make more sense to go with rackmount cases for easy stackability in a closet/the corner of my room when/if I choose to do more?

I've got $100 to upgrade the graphics card in my main rig. It has a GT 440 in it currently.
New cards didn't really impress me at the $100 mark.

Is there a faster radeon card I could snag used for $100 or any other cards I could look out for?
>>55188697
This will shorten battery life for increased performance. If it's not slowing you down at all, let be slow and cool with the fan not spinning. It comes on when it needs to. Computers are specifically designed to not self-destruct.

everytime i watch youtube on windows 10 my wifi connection drops and becomes unusable until i restart router. What could be causing this?
About a month ago I had a serious injury that resulted in my spinal cord practically shattering. That's an exaggeration, but the point is I'll be confined to my bed whenever I'm not undergoing physical therapy for the next few months.
I'm normally a neet piece of shit that masturbates all day, so I'm already extremely bored since I'm limited to using my outdated garbage phone. I can't even watch television since I have to lie perfectly flat on my back or else it's extremely agonizing.
So I had this great idea of getting a projector and using it to project my desktop onto the ceiling, letting me comfortably use it from bed. But I know very little about projectors.
>tl;dr does anyone have experience using a projector on the ceiling for light gaming, and are there any recommended projectors for doing this?
>>55188697

You're not going to get any good gaming with a projector.

Since when? Most I've seen is 1 SATA header not several.
>>55188878
How are there 600+GB of files in there if it's a "16gb" card?
>>55188844
>>55188866
>You're not going to get any good gaming with a projector.
Why not? My own research only shows that there's potentially a minor delay with some of the cheaper options, but that doesn't matter when I'm playing RPGs.
>>55188897
oh, then maybe. Give it a try, I don't see what could possibly go wrong.
>>55188883
Get a tower with eight hard drive slots. You don't need a rack for just yourself. And you don't need to keep terabytes of other people's stuff on hard drives. You're not authoring that much. Quit hoarding and grab it as you want it.
If I took my laptop in to be repaired (burnt out charging port) would they bother look through the hard drives contents? They don't ask for passwords or anything, so they just check that it can boot up correctly, right?

I've been going that route for years and have noticed that it isn't the best in the long run as shit sometimes gets moved or suddenly gets a lot harder to find, especially more recently. I've also noticed times when I found a lot of shit that I wanted that would only be available for a limited time.
>>55188886

>>55188960
It's going to take months to recover, so I'd rather be able to use my actual computer instead of some shitty tablet over such a long period. If I can't find a projector for a reasonable price, I'll pick up a shitty rice field handmachine.

I've got a question concerning grep.
I have some address data in an asc file as simple text. The first 30 characters are for the name. If the name is shorter than the 30 characters whitespaces fill it up to ensure its length is 30. At position 31 is a whitespace to seprate the name from the next data which is the address. After the address is also a whitespace and some other data. My plan is to retreive the address, which starts at index 32 and continues to index 50. All i tried led to only getting nothing or always the data beginning at the start of the line.grep –o -P '^.{31,34}' myfile.asc
Is it possible to retreive my substring like that? I can't search for a certain pattern since every set of Data is different except the whitespaces which seperate the data. I prefer to use grep since performance is an issue.

>>55191084
It is a launcher retard.
Yes it requires permissions for various reasons like the command contacts lists your contacts, call 123456789 calls that number etc, but are you aware that it's open source and is in fdroid? I can assure you it's safe.

I'm getting a weird problem with a movie I downloaded from rutracker, it keeps playing both audio tracks (Russian and English) over each other and it's annoying as hell. I played the audio just by itself and it works fine, but the audio with the movie and it's fucked. Any ideas?
Not sure if this goes into the sqt thread, but:
When do my commands finally get converted into something my pc understands?
I get that my shitty java gets compiled into something more abstract, which then also becomes something different.
But all these are just different representations of what I initially wrote. When/How does my pc interpret all those 1s/0s?

Could be a BIOS issue where your mobo is trying to use a feature XP didn't support, may have to enable some legacy option somewhere.

Why are we scared of government agencies like the NSA and pseudo-government agencies like Google mass collecting data? If they're just mass collecting all the data from every user on google, if they eventually decided they wanted to pull your individual file, wouldn't it take years for them to even run a simple binary search algorithm to find your info?

Sup /g/
Last night I overheated my computer (left it turned on inside a cabinet) and my mobo died. I already tested all other parts in another computer and they all work.
It's an ECS A55F2-M3 (V1.0)
I try to turn on the computer and it does, for 1/4 of a second. After that I use the button and nothing.
Is there a way to save the mobo? I don't see any physical damage.

Reposting.
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.
Answers I got so far:
>970 going over 3,5GB
Why it works fine after a while then?
>Issue with drivers
I'm gonna try some driver from 2015 to test when I get home
>W7 fucking you in the ass to upgrade to 10
What do you thing about this?
Pic related, whole rig.
>>55192414
Most ISP's have a mandantory 2 year log of every ips activity. It would be little more then a simple subpena to get your info,which is already logged by your isp, because apparently IP=Person
They are creating a personality which can then be tracked around the internet,futher exposing your self.
>>55192068
Never mind, fixed it. Was using VLC so I went to "Open Multiple Files" and added the movie, then added the audio with the "play another media synchronously" option. The audio I added popped up as "Audio 3" (1 and 2 being two Russian dubs over the English) and it worked.
>>55192845
check your cpu scaling
check your gpu scaling
>drivers
Dont.
>>55192899
After a quick google search I'm clueless about how to do that
Also I don't have any hope about old drivers magically fixing the problem.
I also asked previously about how to check if the GPU is faulty because CPU and GPU are still on warranty.
>>55192970
>cpu
go in to your bios and turn of cool'n'quiet or simiar(look for a cpu tab)
>gpu

Didn't see any cool n' quite or energy saving option enabled on the bios.
On the Nvidia panel there was the energy setting (on 3D menu) was set to adaptative or some shit, changed it to full performance.
Made no difference at all on GTAV, real heavy stuttering every 3-4 seconds while driving.
Can an ISP or government unmistakenly pinpoint the physical actual house address of their subscribed user at any time?
They have logs of IPs and they cal easily which customer had given IP at that time. Can they do that?

>>55193183
yes what did you do?
>>55193183
Your ISP keeps logs of which account was tied to which IP at a given time, the government can request that data and the ISP can give that data away freely or choose to require a subpoena before releasing it.

Thanks for answers.
I didn't do anything, it just crossed my mind that if you are legal subscriber to your local ISP (paying monthly for internet service) it means you signed the deal with ISP with all your private info.
So I presumed that they probably always can know which customer has particular IP at the moment based on their telephone/cable or something that they can uniquely identify which customer is it.
Is this right? I mean I get it how could they find me over my telephone since it is bound to my internet , but what if you took some other way of internet service (maybe over cable television or some other way)? Is it as easy as with telephone since telephone is also bound to your personal info when you got it installed in your house?
Also ,Static or dynamic IP doesnt matter in this case right?

how do i reinstall windows 10
>>55193298

>>55193305
tried f12 but when i open chrome and close it screen goes black for a few minuites
>>55193285
Pretty much all ISPs require authentication for the connection to work, you may not have configured it yourself but there should be a username and password in your modem's settings somewhere.
Static or dynamic does not matter.
>>55193298
back up your data
you get ISO you want
http://windowsiso.net/
you put in on an usb key using rufus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YXSpKd0_cE
you boot from the usb
and install windows <google windows X installation youtube>
you look for drivers for your PC, downlad them, install them
done

Quite a few years ago, I had this old notebook and one day I decided to get more RAM for it. Installation went a-ok but it refused to boot. Then I found out I apparently bought wrong kind of sticks. Out of desperation I tried to boot it again and again, finding out that it does indeed work sometimes. Within a week or two it started booting up reliably and it just werked. Anybody knows what hat kind of wizardry was going on?
>>55193285
Anyone can log and track you to any ip and then get your info,that is how it is done.ISP's are forced to store ip data for 2 years before they can get rid of it .
Go to torrentfreak for a fuck ton of more relevent info
>>55193381
use any screen recorder you like then use ffmpeg, if you can't figure it out look on the install gentoo wiki, there's a guide
>>55193318
and that username is unique for every customer? even if i don't know it or wasn't even required to know, it is in there somewhere?
>>55193416
I get that, I just wanted to know the part between me and ISP regarding how they pinpoint given IP to me as their customer(e.g. my telephone or cable television, or whatever else is there)
>>55193493
There is no between you and your isp.ALL your data is going to pass through their system.
>>55193298
i use windows 7
>>55193502
Shit, by "between me and ISP" I meant our agreement/deal that I signed. Our "relationship".
I am definitely aware that they are the gateway for me to get any data from internet.

I had to change one of the settings to IDE from AHCI. XP installed successfully but now I'm not sure how to boot to Windows 10 again. Whenever I restart the computer it automatically goes to XP. I've tried going into the System Startup page to change the default OS but Win XP is the only option there is. I'm sorry I'm so tech illiterate :(

Does your motherboard support GPT?
I'm building a computer on a budget.
I have a busted t410 with a functioning i5-520M processor.
Could I, and should I, salvage the CPU and buy a lower spec motherboard that supports it with DDR3 RAM? Or should I just sell the t410 as is and use those funds on the desktop I'm building?
>>55193867
Generally speaking, fix and/or salvage is more cost effective on a low budget.
>>55193861
that's what i'm asking, anon. can't find any info about it
>>55193867
Your CPU will be soldered to the motherboard, you aren't going to be using it for anything else.
