Had this happen recently. Either you have an app that is running in the background 24/7 and sucking up resources (without you realizing), or you have malware. Doesn't matter what it is, uninstall the last couple of apps you recently installed.
Then run a malware scan. Just download a free app from playstore.

it's just one autist trying to force the new title. he makes the new thread a few posts early so no one can call it the stupid questions thread. i don't know why op is so butthurt

you should be able to use a capture card along with a rca to hdmi adapter.

Are there any good books about older video game programming. I read that book Racing the Beam about programming hurdles with developing for the original Atari and I really liked it.

If you can't find a capture card with old style video inputs needed for what you're trying to do, consider buying this.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V2ULFAQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I can personally vouch for it since I own one. Basically it'll convert your composite video signal into HDMI so that you can go from the converted HDMI to a regular capture card that takes HDMI.
Might be easier for you, I don't know.
>>55557541
>>55557585
you're going to want the third option

I recently re-installed Arch Linux and I want to play CS:GO via Steam, I know that GNU/Linux isn't an OS that is meant to be played on, but it actually ran pretty decently last time.

my dad got an old this http://www.puntocellulare.it/schede-cellulari/samsung/samsung_gti9070_galaxy_s_advance.html
he is complaining a lot about battery life: yesterday it lasted basically half a day with 20 short work calls.It was a new battery, bought few days ago.
what could it be that make it so shortlived? ram usage is t roughly 60% and he has only watsup and flashlight installed: he is a minimal user.
>>55557737
Go into settings and into battery. It should show you a nice little list of things that are using up resources, with the biggest battery hog having the biggest percentage and is usually listed first.
Or there could even be a stupid app running in the background 24/7, or malware. Do the same as I said here >>55557462
If all else fails, be a good child and put a custom rom on your father's phone. Custom roms are usually really good at removing bloatware and optimizing stuff that should increase battery life.

Look, I'm going to be real here. Don't ask here for GPU recommendations if you don't already have a brand in mind. If you're stuck between nvidia and amd and you ask here then you'll start another flame war.
Decide how much you want to spend, look at benchmarks yourself, make note of the games you want to play (some work better with either nvidia or amd) and then go from there. But don't forget what I said to get you started that the 970 is a decent card for 1080p gaming.

torrent premiere and learn how to use it
While there are very decent free video editing programs out there, adobe premiere is unfortunately the most extensive.

just simple things liketrimming or maybe cropping
>>55558026
In that case then you'll have to wait for another anon to answer you.
When I first started editing videos, I also needed nothing more than trimming or cropping. But slowly my needs for video editing grew just because I got started with it. I wanted to improve my videos little by little. You'll be doing yourself a favor by learning how to use Premiere.
I know that's probably not what you want to hear. Just my 2 cents.

What should I look for when buying hard drives?
My current Seagate 2TB one is slowly but surely dying, so I'm looking for a new one.
Any brands you recommend?
>>55558137
I don't think i'll be missing the storage space. I only use the hdd to download steam games, but i only play 3 games max at any time anyway. I store my documents on cloud.
That's why I was wondering whether it would be safe to put a 3rd ssd in raid0 in case i did end up missing space
>>55558137
I'm talking about all the anti-whatever shilling going on, like the anti-Linux faggot that conflates Linux users with RMS.
>>55558162
these are all my current drives >>55558137
I have been using a 2tb seagate for almost 4 years now with no problems. All the rest of my drives are Western Digital reds and 1 HGST drive.
Good drives tend to come from Western Digital, HGST, and Hitachi. But then again, Seagate is alright too.
If you want something that just werks, get a western digital red. Those are meant to run 24/7 in NAS/server configs. Never had a problem with them. Just look for a hard drive that interests you and do some research on it. Sometimes, a product can come from a good company but have a crippling defect. You never know.
>>55558162
just avoid seagate
they seem to have the highest fault rate according to statistics
i have a 2TB seagate too and its starting to get bad, with 8 sectors damaged after being 316 days on
>>55557273
i recently digitized some Hi8 tapes
i just used a standalone dvd recorder
i tried an old pci capture/tuner card i had lying around, but i couldn't get it to sync very well. a modern one with an integrated encoder would probably be fine though
anything that can do dvd quality or better is fine, dvd is plenty for capturing anything a Hi8 or VHS tape can do
if you're looking for a high quality deinterlacer, check out QTGMC. if they're home videos, they'll probably be interlaced 50/60 fields/s video, so you probably want to deinterlace that to progressive 50/60fps video
What's the most reliable, rock solid microSD card I can buy today? I've been using Sandisk Ultra Plus 64GB microSDXC cards, but I don't know whether to blame my phone or the card for this, but the first one is a read-only brick and the second has bad sectors.
>>55557686
So I launched the restore, Win boots up, says the process failed, but everything is back to normal from my point of view.
I'm just gonna roll with it.
>>55558324
I've never actually had a micro sd card go bad on me, that wasn't my own fault. SD card failures are very rare nowadays, as long as you buy them from established companies.
If you want an easy answer, just go with Sandisk. It just werks and has a decent track record.
But I will half shill that you look into buying a shark micro sd. I've owned 3 for months now and they're great. Somewhat faster than my sandisk cards and they look cool.
Head on over to /csg/ and read the wiki linked in the OP if it interests you even slightly.

Seagate recommends that you run SeaTools for DOS, which has the ability to repair most problem sectors. SeaTools for DOS may be able to save you from the inconvenience and down time of exchanging the drive."
Is it worth it to try that DOS repair thing, or should I just not bother?

I would find carrying gloves to be a nuisance. I have a galaxy note 3 and the stylus really does help keep the screen smudge free.
I've tried this one out before, decent enough but a little expensive for what it is.
https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Executive-Stylus-Touchscreen-Devices/dp/B008ULX012/
Or you can take a slight risk and buy a cheap one here >http://www.gearbest.com/stylus-_gear/
>>55558670
At this point, attempting a software repair would be pretty useless. Backup anything overly important to another drive right now. Buy a new drive then clone the old one to the new one.
The important things backup is only just in case your drive fails before the new one comes in. You never know what'll happen with these things.

Are there any good ways to have a good ethernet connection to a desktop that is far away from my router? I've looked into powerline adapters but it seems that they have bandwidth issues and I rent so I can't really drill/route a cable through walls and such.
>>55558725
Have you tried running a malware scan? I think malwarebytes has a free android app although I could be mistaken.
It's also a probability that the phone your father has just sucks. But a custom rom might fix it.
First you would need to root the phone. Then install a custom recovery (twrp). And finally install a custom rom.
Telling you how to do this for your specific phone in one reply would be impossible.
Go onto here and search for the model number of your father's phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/
Look through the pages and see if there are any nice tutorials for that. Since it'll be your first time, I recommend watching some youtube videos on "how to install a custom rom on android".
Don't worry about fucking up to much. Just watch multiple videos, take your time, and follow a guide.
>>55558755
acceptable alternative?
No
But if you are forced to do it in an emergency then it is completely possible to do.
>>55558803
You don't really have to do that. The most important thing is to apply the thermal paste correctly. For the love of fuck do NOT use a "credit card method" or any other method that requires you to spread around the thermal paste by hand.
Look up a video on how to do it and make sure it goes something like this:
>put a pea sized dot in the middle
>squish the cooler straight down onto the cpu/gpu
>reassemble
The process of putting the cooler back on will naturally spread the paste. Anything else will create air bubbles that will actually increase heat.
>>55558856
A good rule of thumb is to not have desktops far away from your router.
Regardless, look into getting another cheap router. Set it up and make it so it gets it's internet connectivity from your current wifi signal. Then from there just stick an ethernet cable from the router to your pc.
does marshmallow save as much battery life as google would have you believe?
>>55558953
Yeah, I usually follow that rule but might end up in a situation where I can't. In terms of pairing routers, would the the second router being connected over wifi to the first cause any drops in speed/stability for the connection to the computer vs say just putting in a wireless card?
Thanks for the help anon.
>>55559016
if you don't configure them properly you can get double nat'd and that would make your connection poor especially with stuff like games.
install tomato or dd-wrt on both and configure both routers properly. you can also use the other router as an AP, doubling the wifi range in your house.
>>55559016
There would be no real difference between a good wifi card and the extra router. Neither should be unstable as long as your current wifi source is good.
It depends on what you want. The router would be a good choice if you want to possibly hook up more things from ethernet in the same room as your desktop. If you don't need more, wifi card is good.
This would be a good consideration too>>55559047
>>55559047
>>55559061
I see, hopefully I'll be close enough to stick with a cable but thanks for the advice.
>>55559106
just don't get a really long ethernet cable and do it that way
You'll probably have a bad time if you do. Good luck.

Basically you start with a seed number, which is based on combining a bunch of hopefully somewhat random sources like user mouse input etc., then you run the seed number through some kind of random-ish function 50 billion times, and convert that to a number between 1 and 10. What you get is your result. You can try googling for more info.

Hello guys,
is it safe (undetectable) to use torrents when on VPN (Hotspot Shield, seems pretty cool).
I mean, I wanna download movies, but because sharing it is a crime, and torrenting includes sharing it, I'm doing a crime. But, my question is, am I anonymous with that VPN?
I read something about that VPNs won't help you. Thanks
>>55560091
yes
Kubuntu or Ubuntu, why?
>>55559793
If you want to both save money and get high quality speakers, I recommend you look into getting a pair of 70's/80's speakers.
A lot of the time, these hifi speakers were sold to music enthusiasts back in the day for a ton of money.
I got my Kenwood speakers for $100 from a nice old man who bought them new back in the day. He took care of them extremely well and they're almost like new. Real wood and tick metal everywhere. They get very loud with no distortion and sound great even at lower volume.
Go onto Craigslist and get yourself a pair of kenwood speakers. Rule of thumb is to look for a pair like mine, metal and wood.

My computer stopped going past the POST screen a few hours ago, and I've been tearing my hair out trying to fix it to no avail. I've cleared CMOS, powered my computer completely down and back up etc. and nothing has worked. I tried reinstalling the BIOS through the USB Flashback port with several flash drives (all of which have the latest BIOS renamed to Z97ST.CAP) but upon pressing the Flashback button on the back, it just lights up for a few seconds (the flash drive only lights up for a second or so) and then it stays lit. I've done it before successfully and it should keep alternating between lit and dim for 10 seconds or so.

nope
Just install the cpu and go into your bios settings to make sure "onboard graphics" or something like that is turned on
>>55560205
Have you even considered the power supply? Either not turning on or shutting off after a small amount of time means the power supply is bad.
Or have you been messing around with cpu overclocking? That could do it.

The power supply is fine. The thing that lights and dims is the Flashback button that's supposed to flash the BIOS on my flash drive. The issue with that is that it doesn't actually flash it-it just looks for the file for a second and stops right after. The motherboard itself doesn't lose power at any point unless I turn the PSU off. Pic related is how far my PC gets before it freezes.

We're getting a bit into "bias" territory but I'll try to be as impartial as possible. Having a retro speaker/amp combo would be great. What I said about speakers also applies to old amps.
Solid metal, high quality Rubycon/Nichicon capacitors (if you go with a japanese brand like kenwood or sansui). If you find one that was taken care of then you should have no problems.
Pic Related
The photo is a few years old and I was trying to meme up my retro things. Regardless, I bought the amp and it needed no touch ups out of the package. All original parts still worked like new. I cleaned it and touched it up afterwards but only because I wanted to.
Are vintage 70s/80s amps 10 times better than nice modern amps? No
If anything you'll get a marginal better sounding amp that looks nice. Half aesthetics half sound quality. A lot of the time these things are cheap so that's another plus.
Rule of thumb with amps is heavy metal and real glass. Don't go for lightweight metal-looking plastic. You can tell it's glass if it's cold to the touch.

I use pale moon for two reasons.
#1: They kept the old firefox user interface which I liked. Firefox started to become more like chrome with each update. A purely personal choice.
#2: The team behind Pale Moon's biggest concern is security. Their fork has a lot of default tweaks and patches that lean towards privacy and security unlike firefox telepathy and other things.
Just compare their default about:config pages for starters. Either way, I don't go out of my way to shill Pale Moon. I like it which is a good enough reason for me. Plus they have stable 64bit builds.

>>55560819
Yes. On board audio is plenty for most things these days.
>>55560819
At $68, you would only have a marginal increase in sound quality if you used the headphones with a soundcard.
If you used these headphones with an amp or something similar, you might get a little less hiss at higher volumes.
Does that mean you won't benefit from getting a sound card or amp? No
But for these headphones, onboard sound should be good enough.
Can you make an analog virus? Or is that just plain stupid?

That's basically audiophile perspective. For the average person with sub $200 headphones there is essentially no difference between onboard and the top of the line audio reproduction. IF he notices hiss on his system, and plugging them into the back doesn't work, then he could buy a dac or something. And for most headphones the impedance should be too low for an amp to matter at all. The default advice should be that onboard is a non issue and you should spend more on your headphones if you want better sound

I agree completely. I was just giving my two cents. In the end, I did end up saying onboard is good enough.
Here is my situation:
>fresh W7 install on my new PC
>no USB drivers
>no Ethernet drivers
>no optical disc drive
I found out the best way would be making a bootable USB drive with GNU/Linux, copying my drivers from my laptop on my new pc and then booting windows and installing the new drivers from my HDD.
My question is, what would be smallest and easy to use distro for a Wangblows peasant such as myself?
>>55561156
stock unity ubuntu is a very smooth transition from windows
It's far from the best linux distro but it's great for beginners and there is a humongous forum that revolves around user problems.
Is there anything to try for my laptop? It according to the service manual the memory's bad, but if I remove the only SODIMM it still won't boot (has 1GB onboard)
>>55561156
I don't really understand why you need the GNU/Linux step.

>>55561371
Laptops don't usually have "onboard" soldered in ram PLUS slots to add more ram.
I'm 99% sure you're mistaking the 1GB to something else.
Link me to a description or spec sheet of the device.
>>55561156
So have you installed 7 yet? And is your processor a skylake?

>>55561453
Yes, and yes. The problem is, as I said, there are no drivers in Windows.
>>55561413
>Laptops don't usually have "onboard" soldered in ram PLUS slots to add more ram.
This one does, I'm 100% sure of it. My old laptop was the same way, only it had 256MB onboard instead of 1GB.

So you're saying you installed 7 from a usb, but as soon as it was installed the usb quit working? Or did you use another medium?
>>55561543
>installed 7 from a usb, but as soon as it was installed the usb quit working
Exactly. Same zip disquette, same port, everything.
>>55561570
Well then the weird part is that you made it that far. Skylake doesn't support the old usb standards, and most of the guides are for patching the win 7 disk prior to install
>>55561624
I recall having some difficulties adding the drivers to my iso on the thumb drive, but since it installed without any difficulties I assumed everything worked. I will try making a new one and installing again.
>>55561514
Well you've proved me wrong. However, if that's the case then it sound like the onboard ram is bad. In which case you'll have to unsolder the onboard stuff.
Unless you own soldering equipment and experience then the laptop is a lost cause.

If you've already got 7 installed, there's no point reinstalling it. I think you were right about using another technique to transfer the drivers over. What you could do is copy the driver to usb, then restart to the win7 install usb
When u get the to the installation screen, select "repair windows" click on "advanced options" and run the "CMD prompt".
Then use the prompt to copy over the driver installer from usb.
Or you could just use an ubuntu live disk if you want a gui
I bought a bangin' Belkin AC17somethingoranother super max speed whatever modem/router combo to replace the garbage xfinity gateway thing that I currently have because it keeps stuttering and lagging and not connecting and I know it's a modem rather than a router issue because I got a signal booster that solved all my connection problems.
The belkin modem doesn't have any phone lines the way the xfinity gateway does. Is there any way to connect them to each other, or them both to the internet separately, or whatever setup is necessary to keep the gateway as just a way to keep my phones connected?
Getting rid of the phone line entirely isn't an option because it's not my house, I just wanna improve my internet without disrupting anything for anyone else.
A chat support on the comcast website says I could use either a coax or cat-5 splitter and 'assured me that would work' without any more specifics.

dsl/phone lines use an analog signal while ehternet/cable uses digital signals
A simple splitter/snap-op-the-cable adapter won't work.
You're ether going to need some sort of modem to ethernet adapter or buy another box that already has a phone jack.
>>55562059
>buy another box that already has the phone jack
the way I figure it, I already have a box that has a phone jack; the pic related that I'm trying to replace.
I was wondering if I could leave the phones connected to that, and have that connected to the house's incoming cable, while using the superior modem for my computer/gaming
>>55562059
*modem to ethernet adapter, powered box that actually does a sort of conversion from analog to digital
>>55562105
You do realize that just adding another box isn't going to magically make things better right? The WHOLE house gets dsl.
Not only is dsl/dial up horrible but it is extremely dependent on other devices. There is very little bandwidth to go around. If someone is streaming or playing a game, there will most likely not be enough to share with a second or third person to get a clear connection.
Or maybe there is enough to go around but the actual lines running from the cable company are held together by sticky tape and bubble gum. Most DSL internet providers are working with lines made decades ago.
You're most likely shit out of luck at that place.
>>55562105
You're probably going to need to replace that box with exactly the same box box. DSL is no good and no box can change that.
>>55562145
I'm pretty sure what I have is a cable modem/cable internet service. Did anyone mention DSL? I didn't. Does the image of my modem imply DSL? Maybe I do have DSL. I was under the impression I don't.
It's probably some sort of triple-play package deal where the phones are all some sort of VoIP nonsense.
I just want to replace a shitty rent-a-modem that's in who knows what kind of shape with something somewhat decent without my dad going 'how come the phones don't work anymore'
>>55562202
>The belkin modem doesn't have any phone lines the way the xfinity gateway does.
>Getting rid of the phone line entirely isn't an option
You implied multiple times that you use DSL/phone lines/dial up.
Is you're freaking box (for the house) connected by a TV cable or phone cable?
>>55562236
Oh, sorry to be misleading then. It's a cable modem. It's connected to a coaxial cable. Comcast's internet package includes that gateway modem/router combo box that has support for a phone line in addition to its cable modem capabilities. If I unplug the power to that modem I lose the phone but not my tv, probably because the tv is connected to a cable box which is connected to a coaxial in a different room of the house.

It's a heatsink. It's a bunch of heatpipes with a stack of aluminum fins soldered to it designed to maximize the surface area that's able to dissipate heat. The actual fan on that thing probably has some garbage sleeve bearing that you're going to replace eventually so you might as well get a more expensive cooler that already comes with a quality fan.
