What's the purpose of this monitor format?
Is it easy to dual boot Windows with OS X on a hackintosh build?
>>55608164
usually they have a pivot on the back so you can display them in portrait.
>>55608164
these days's it's nice as a side monitor in portrait if you need a second screen and don't need it to take up a lot of space
.JPG or .JPEG?
>>55608164
More vertical real estate for viewing web pages or typing.
>>55608193
>>55608200
>>55608236
The one I have is 4:3 and have a pivot. (GOAT for reading pdfs)
There are such monitors (1024*1280) in my lab but I have no idea why they have such a design. Also, what's the purpose of putting this one in portrait, it's almost a square?
>>55608266
the height is nice for coding, for example. or reading a website. why not use your imagination?
What's the best way to check if all my drivers are up to date? Any program I can download that will check for me? Also, how do I stop my system from asking which OS I want to boot at startup? The options are windows 10 and 8, I just want 10, how do I get rid of the 8 option?
>>55608277
Then a 4:3 in vertical position isn't better?
I am quite puzzled by what motivated the choice of this ratio.
>>55608300
stop using latest drivers for no reason, they tend to fuck shit up. only get the latest drivers if you read about issues with your previous one or if something doesn't work
>>55608311
the height of portrait mode
>choice of this ratio
what do you mean? the design? the fact that someone purchased this recently? what the fuck do you mean?
>>55608332
The design.
4:3 is like a sheet of paper
16:9 is the same ratio as television and most of video media
But I can't get what motivated this specific choice.
>>55608318
Thanks lad, I'd still like to know if fheres a way to check all out of date drivers at once.
>>55608371
are you 12? 4:3 is old as fuck. it was created in the time when little millenials like you didn't watch movies on a fucking computer all day, they were meant for work. it was also the same aspect as most televisions at that time. are you this fucking dense? i know this is a stupid questions thread, but come the fuck on
>>55608371
You've already answered your question, 4:3 is more like a piece of paper.
>>55608397
whatever you do, don't install those retarded "driver updater" programs. 99.9% of the time they are pure cancer

That's actually the EXACT monitor I'm using now. The main reason I'm using it is cause I don't have a TV in my room or another monitor for my Wii U other than the specific one I bought for it. I like using it cause it has 4 extra USB ports on it. However, I wish I had a widescreen but broke is broke. Oh well. I would love to have another samsung monitor with 4 USB ports.

So I think you have 2 problems here. The first is that the 300mbps you're expecting requires that you be within range of BOTH the 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz bands. 2.4 reaches a lot farther so that would explain you getting good reception there. 5 has less range and much less ability to pass through objects. So you're getting your 150 on the 2.4 only. The other thing is that extenders cut your bandwidth in half, because they have to re transmit everything within the same spectrum as soon as they receive it. I would throw out the extenders unless you absolutely need them. They're not an ideal solution to anything, and bring your whole wireless network down on their frequency. Maybe consider lan over electrical or another router set to a different channel. Kudos on getting the matching adapter for your router, the directional signal forming is probably helping you reach as high as you are now.
>>55609988
I'm actually just using 5Ghz on my computer as I've set my adapter to ignore 2.4. I've turned off both of my extenders but I'm unfortunately not getting any better speedtest results.
I've got a Hitron CGNM-2250 (http://www.hitron-americas.com/products/cgnm-2250/) that I'm using in bridged mode right now. Do you think it would be worth disabling bridged mode on this and seeing if I get better speeds with that?
So how do I pirate Win10 permanently? Is it possible considering their abusive updates policiy?
>>55610109
If the hiltron is a wireless bridge on the same band it would interfere with your maximum signal. You don't want to be using it as the equivalent of an extender, ideally you would want to have it wired in and broadcasting on a different band than the asus. You can disable a given band on either routers if you're not using it, although 5ghz short range makes it easier to have two fairly near each other if you've got a lot of 2.4 interference in your area.
Are PCIe based SSDs worth it?
>>55610262
No way to know for sure. You can try pirating 7 and then getting a license for 10 via the upgrade offer. But really it doesn't matter. The keys are so cheap, and the don't give a shit if you originally pirated. Also the restrictions on unactivated windows are almost nill these days
>>55610267
It's basically just acting as a modem for my Asus router that's plugged in to it with a network cable. Do you think I should just get a better router or look into powerline networking? My house is big and I need two extenders to get even half-decent coverage in my basement and far end of the house.

Doing some research on these powerline adapters and it seems like something that would work for my situation. Are there any drawbacks or is the technology really as great as it sounds? I'd like to use 3 of them around my house.
>>55610388
Thanks, but what do you mean by "hashes?"
>>55610334
The other elephant in the room is wireless overhead. It's a bit like how your hard drive capacity is much smaller than advertised once it's formatted, and on wifi it's huge. Your actual transmission can easily be 40% less than advertised, which means that on a single band you would already be fairly close to the ideal N speed. Now the hiltron has AC capability, which has a little better range and way better bandwidth. You might just want to pick up a couple of adapters or pci cards for that, and use the asus for 2.4. Now AC is strictly 5ghz, and you would want to make sure your adapters are at least dual band AC to get the most out of it.
>>55610450
Powerline is a good solution in general, provided your houses cabling is in decent shape. It's pretty reliable and fast. Not encrypted usually, but that's not really a practical concern for most people.
How the fuck do I edit this .ja (r) file?

>>55610454
Do you see the SHA1 listing under details button for an entry?
That is essentially a finger print of the file, if anything about a file changes, even a single byte, that number will change.
So long as what you download has the same SHA1 hash as on the page you have a clean download, anything else and its been changed in some way.

Can I just extract everything and somehow pack it back into a .ja file?
I'm not sure if it works like that.
>>55610454
It's the line of numbers called a checksum, intended to tell you with reasonable certainty that a file hasn't been modified since the owner made that checksum. They come in varieties like sha-1 and md5, although md5 can be broken easily these days, so you should only use those to check that a file hasn't been damaged by copying it. Sha-1 is usually good, although if someone was determined enough they could probably make a version of the file that had a virus and passed the checksum. It's why they're working on new checksum versions to replace it.

Those should work. Don't expect actual gigabit speeds, but it should be pretty good still. Their description of that extender isn't very good, but I'm thinking it's point is to be more like a wireless access point attached via powerline. It doesn't seem to come with any other adapters, so I'm thinking you would need to buy at least one other compatible power line unit to get any use out of it. Yeah cheap switches are nice, no setup, usually no noticeable impact on latency and you can use more than one, just don't attach one to the other.

Downloading a big file through chrome (4.1GB). It got 2.15GB of the way through, suddenly stopped and is acting like it's a complete download. I've tried resuming the download using 'wget' but because what I'm downloading (XCode) requires a login with your Apple ID and shit, it seems to not be letting me because of certificates or some shit.
Don't want to waste another 2.15GB (plus the 0.9GB from when I first tried it), so is there anyway I can resume the download from where it thinks it has 'finished?'
I can grab a new download link by logging in with my Apple ID and shit but it of course just starts the download at 0GB. Tried renaming files and shit in an attempt to trick it into thinking the incomplete file is the actual file it is downloading but it doesn't seem to be working. As if you can't just rename the file, get a new request, it checks it, and downloads where it left off (like every fucked torrent has ever done for me).

No, nothing to do with a year. If you bought legit windows, the upgrade is free. If you pirated it, some people are able to upgrade successfully, others aren't. You probably didn't get 10 activated and your trial expired. Use DAZ or keep using unactivated, it doesn't mater much.

Will keep this in mind for next time, however it doesn't seem like it wants to resume, or if it's even possible. It just stopped at 2.15GB, spat out what I believe it thinks is the completed 4.1GB (but obviously 2GB shy). It didn't get any .part, .incomplete or anything like that; just gave me an incomplete (but thinks it's complete) archive format. The file is meant ti be a .xip, and it just gives me what looks like the complete .xip file... 'Xcode_8_beta_2.xip' ...But when trying to unarchive it, it tells me to go fuck myself because it's obviously 2GB shy of being complete.
How can it even stop half way through a download and think it's fucking done, what the fuck chrome? My guess is that the verification certificate(s) attached to the request from Apples download servers are on a timer to expire or some shit.

What does confirmation bias have to do with the question? I'm fairly certain you're using that term incorrectly.
Confirmation bias has to do with only selecting sources of information that agree with your particular view.

Posting here because I thought the other thread was for general career advice. So I work at IBM as a software engineer. Recently, I have been contacted by some entertainment websites, sports websites, etc. to be doing my job but for their products. Basically, getting offers for a software engineer for a non-tech company.
I'm still relatively new in my career and working at IBM has been .... okay. I feel like taking a new career change would be nice but am a little worried about working at a "non tech" workplace. Am I just fearful for no reason? Like if I was a software engineer for CBS, ESPN, or Walmart or somethign that's still fine right?
>>55611638
As long as you know what you're doing.
If they're a nontech company they're gonna expect you to know your shit and not fuck anything up because if you do, there probably won't be anybody to fix it.
>>55611654
It's a pretty entry level position. It seems like they'd be willing to teach me a lot of the tools too. It seems like they may expect me to work a little longer but actually a very good situation in general. Ive been very up front about what I dont know and the job seems to be very comfy

No. I'm 100% certain that's poorly randomized. I have playlists for various TV series that I put on for background watching.
My largest playlist is 164 episodes spanning 9 seasons. It almost always picks from the last 4 seasons and typically the same episodes. I'm the process of making a data sheet so I can have a graph showing the distribution to show definitively how poorly it randomizes.

Is it okay to set my GPU fan to 70-80% while gaming? Am I going to burn out the fan A LOT faster?
>>55611941
They do but in this hot weather that I'm having, I find that I have to turn the fan speed higher manually. Previously it would only hit around 50-60%
is this build good? I'm about to purchase it if it's good.
I will buy GPU when the Sapphire RX 480 nitro card comes out. I have a GTX 780 to use while I wait. I could even consider gtx 1070 later on but yeah.

Is anyone else getting reprompts with the legacy captcha? I put in the number exactly as I see it, and it's clear as day, and it tells me I'm wrong.
not tech related but there's no stupid questions thread on /ck/. I bought 15 rolls from the supermarket Tuesday on a special offer and have stored them in my fridge since, thinking they'd stay fresh at that temperature. Just heating one up and ate it right there but it smelled off. Could they really go off that fast? I know cooked rolls go off faster than loaves of bread because they're made to be consumed right after purchase, but that's why they're in the fridge. There's no visible mold on the outside of any yet so I should still be good for another day or two anyway, but I've only eaten 1 and I got 14 left.
>>55612323
freeze em instead
>>55611989
What's with those prices? Holy shit.
Put your build into PCPartPicker.
>>55612330
not enough room in freezer. Plus if they're already close to molding it might not be worth it. I'll only do something like this if I'm gonna put it in the freezer next time, this was a terrible idea.
>>55612323
The rolls might be absorbing fridge odors.

desu people tend to try to crack passwords by getting a leaked list of accounts and passwords and running a program to crack as many as possible. trying to brute force one person's password isn't worth much because it takes a long time for a very small payoff. even if a site resets everyone's password, a lot of people use the same login details on other sites. also, brute forcing usually isn't used because dictionary based attacks work much better. google hash cracking or something like that if you wanna read more about it.
>>55612349
You're probably right actually. I noticed the roll I ate was a bit damp.
>>55612351
I'll eat them next couple days, maybe throw out leftovers Tuesday. It's still around 2 kilos of bread though, I'll have to work it into every meal.

My new laptop has been having these very weird micro-stutters on games it shouldn't considering it has good specs. Hell my old laptop never had this problem.
After reading some forums the only explanation seems to be HDD related. I tried everything from playing on low settings to putting every single option on "favour performance" and doing the whole switchable graphics thing.
Games like dota 2 and overwatch have these micro stutters every 10 mins or so (it also affects audio)
my question is is an SSD gonna change anything? If i put my games on the SSD and load them from there
from reading on the internet about SSD's it seems they dont affect fps (but my problem isnt even fps related the fps is stable until i get this microstutter for 1-2 seconds and then goes back to normal)
>>55612503

im assuming youre on windows so have you run an antivirus scan yet
could also be some kind of manufacturing flaw, i had a shitty glitch on my old laptop where games and paint tool SAI flickered (like going black several times a second, made them unusable) and i just took it into the store and got a refund
what laptop is it?
I have a Sharkoon T28, and I would like to replace the 2 front 120mm fans. But works replacing them with a better fan reduce temperatures? Am i looking at at least 5 degrees Celsius of reduction? What's a good, inexpensive 120mm fan?
>>55612587
I've ran both malwarebytes and my antivirus so its not that
its a lenovo. I fell for the great specs for a cheap price meme and now im paying for it. I really hope its an SSD issue
>>55612608
While you're doing any high intensity work that heats up your rig, just pull off your pants and helicopter your dick as fast as you can into the intake, should reduce temps by 5-10C if you do it right and you can pocket the cash you would've spent on an additonal fan.
Hope this helps!

Have a real good one today, how difficult would it be to bring an old operating system like Windows 95 to modern levels? There are certain caps in the operating system (like the one on RAM, which I've heard many things about, from it only using 512mb ram even when there's more memory though I think this is just a rumor and that it can support up to 4gb) so how much will have to be done to modify it? I mean, it's as basic as basic gets when it comes to the modern windows style so it can't be that complicated, but maybe it isn't worth the effort?

Learn Java. Most schools teach Java, so you might as well git gud while you have time. Just stay active and pick up little projects. You can start working on getting certifications.
Hell, if you know where you're going to school already, try contacting the head of the department and ask him/her what they think would be best to study and learn. It'd make an impression at least.

My phantek ethnoo pro case instructions says to use 4 thumb screws for PSU, but included screws box only has 3. What do?
>>55613454
well thanks I might have to use w10 in the future.

>>55613470
Does the case come with extra PSU screws? If so, use those. Also use a screwdriver with those thumb screws because you don't want your PSU coming loose.

VLC supposedly has metadata-editing features, right?
If I open a file and change some of them, a "save metadata" button will appear and the metadata will be saved when I close the window (as shown by the new title displayed as the file title), but when I close VLC and reopen it, the file still has the old metadata.
Does VLC only change the metadata for that specific session, or it should change it on the file itself (and somehow it's not working for me)?
>>55613526
Why don't you just change it via the file properties?
>>55613538
Tried it, but the specific metadata I want to change (the title, as shown in the screenshot) doesn't appear there.
>>55613507
The instruction book lists regular screws that came with the accessories for PSU usage as well, so I guess I have to use those.
>>55613561
Thumb screws are pretty pointless on the PSU honestly. Good luck with the build.

>>55613783
This guy asking more stupid questions. A lot of my installation guides from boxes show thermal paste application. Was I suppose to buy some?
>>55613783
The brass standoffs are to create a gap between the case and the mobo- if the case's mobo mount points are already raised then it should be alright.
But read the case manual just to be sure

Just now I tried to save an image that I had opened into a new tab (in Chromium) from a thread which died quite a while ago. I'm fairly sure that I have done exactly this before, but this time I got an error message: "Failed: No File", or something like that.
I always thought that saving an image involved copying the image from a local cache, since the browser has to have the image in a local cache for you to be able to click on it in the first place. Why on earth would it be necessary for the image to still exist on the server?
Has this always been the case, or is this something that Chrome/Chromium has changed recently?
