Old thread: >>54146672
I was typing and I made a mistake. I tried to hit ctrl+Z to quickly delete the last word I'd written, I know I should've just hit ctrl+backspace but it's not a habit of mine yet.
Anyway, the last word I'd written was "home" and I pressed the wrong key or keys because instead of deleting the text, it fucking autocompleted it and turned it into fucking "Homesmut" including the capital H. I know the word wasn't on my clipboard and I never even fucking knew that was a word, so it was certainly not in my history, internet or otherwise
What I want to know is, what the fuck did I press to make my text autocomplete? I am using windows 10. If any other additional information is needed I can totally share because I really want to know what happened
I have here:

When buying software for a specific number of computers, how do these companies/softwares KNOW how many computers you're trying to install on?
Is it a hard drive thing? Is it an IP address thing? Will using a VPN fuck with it?
To add to this; If I by backup software that only works with one computer, how does that work? Won't I need to install it on the new computer to restore the backed-up one?
I'm looking to buy Acronis, if that helps give my question more context. I just don't want to buy it for 1 Computer and then be unable to use the software on a new one when I actually need to transfer/back up my shit.
>>54160654
Which enhanced features are missing?
>>54160666
You need to connect to their servers to authenticate the installation. Then they register the number of instalations...
>>54160616
Naw. There was a forum somewhere(maybe here in /mu/) where a lot of people we're talking about the style, how it looked like a poster of a classic movie.
>>54160692
So it's not like I said. There are more tools now to make this result. But in the 80s and 90s, there weren't.
>>54160691
Seriously? So I only get to install it once?
I have a bootable linux usb drive and just got done setting up a bunch of software customizations, but now I need to move it to a different flash drive.
How do I do so /g/?
>>54160738
If you bought the right to 1 installation, you can do only 1 installation. Other options are to pirate, and to use free software.
Is this even the place I should ask about private trackers?
>>54160654
>and yes, proprietary
How do you know?
>>54160779
I think this thread is more adequate:
>>>/g/ptg
>>54160772
The website says 1 computer, not 1 installation. I assumed that meant I could at least uninstall it from one computer and authenticate it on another or some shit.
Acronis is computer backup software, so I don't understand how it can work with only one installation. You install it, back up your files regularly, but if your computer/hard drive dies and you need to back it all up to a new one, you'd need to buy another copy of it just to restore the images? That sounds retarded.
>>54160800
Thank you.
>>54160806
I assume you can install and uninstall on 1 computer as many times as you want. But not replace the registered computer.
To solve this question, you need to ask directly to the company, or read the license terms.
>>54160838
Damn. I was hoping it would be some simple, universal thing. Guess I'll have to go read through their shit.
>>54160806
>You install it, back up your files regularly, but if your computer/hard drive dies and you need to back it all up to a new one, you'd need to buy another copy of it just to restore the images? That sounds retarded.
DRM IS retarded, man. Sim City (2013) couldn't be played, even on singleplayer, because the company decided it wanted to check every second if your game is original and authenticated, so you couldn't play it even on singleplayer, if there was no internet connection.
what the fuck does "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit" mean?
>>54160862
There is no universal things in proprietary software... That's the point in being proprietary.

Is there a way for me to shift the space after a partition to before the partition? I want to add a boot partition there without losing all data on the drive.
Actually, that makes me wonder a further question: Do I need to put the boot partition at the beginning of the drive? I always have.

For some strange reason I can't get to youtube anymore all I am getting is, Pic related.
Or should I just switch to a different browser?
>>54161321
You shouldn't be using IE either way. Both Firefox and Chrome blow it out of the way in every measurable way.
I have a usb flash drive.
I want to do the following things with it:
I want it to be bootable, give me a grub menu and list out the OS I have installed on it, and I want them to be persistent. It'll probably be Ubuntu, Mint, and Win 10. Another thing I'd like to do is have a partition that mounts like a regular usb drive when plugged in.
Is there a piece of software that I could use to help me set this up? Anyone doing anything similar?
>>54161334
I see, I am not very knowledgeable with these things. I try to avoid firefox and chrome because my computer sounds like it's going to explode. Do you have a suggestion for a new browser?
So is there finally a decent open source alternative to Sony Vegas and Premiere for video editing?
I need to work on a project and I really don't feel like reliving my teens and pirating shit again.
>>54161384
It's very controversial around here to recommend a browser, but I use Firefox. If that doesn't run well enough, try Chrome. Some get better performance with one while some get better performance with the other.
I have also heard that Opera operates fairly well with very little resources.
>>54161447
Thank you kindly, I will look in to opera.

Thought I'd ask this here since I don't think this warrants a whole new thread. I just got Ubuntu installed yesterday and I was wondering, is there a way to tag folders? For example can I make a folder full of movies, then tag each movie by genre so that when I search 'horror' at the top of the window only files with the 'horror' tag show up?

Chassis fans connected to my motherboard keep running, even when everything else is shut off.
-i replaced the motherboard, so it's not that
-i swapped out power cables, it's not the cables
is it worth it just to buy a new PSU assuming that's the issue? if i get a new one and it's not the issue i have no idea what else it would be.

Why are you so angry?
>>54162098
pretty rude Tbh
>>54162076
i don't know what you're implying, but it can't be the fans because i bought new ones of those, too, and the same thing is happening with them.
>>54162135
If the fans are running the motherboard is not turned off. Check the bios for some sort of weird power saving feature. Otherwise If they're directly connected to the motherboard replacing nothing will fix the problem
>>54162166
checked the bios front and back for any sort of power-saving feature, toggled them on and off, it changed nothing.

In the process of building my very first PC and things were going great until it came to actually putting the motherboard in the Corsair 200R. The less time I leave the motherboard out in the open, the better so I need a swift response.
1. What the heck is up with that nub among the standoffs in the Corsair 200R? Can't be twisted off and I get the feeling that leaving it be will short out everything. If it's supposed to be removed, how do I go about doing that?
2. What the heck are those prong things on the inside of the I/O shield? They make a dry fit way too much of a hassle.

Depends on the size of the drives
Larger drives means more time to rebuild the array after a failure, meaning more likely to have another failure within that time frame.
>>54164414
Addendum:
Also number of drives
Having more drives in an array also increases the likelihood of a double failure

I have Asus Maximus VIII Ranger as my motherboard and I'm trying to install Windows 7 on it, with little success.
My processor is the new i7-6700K if that matters.
I'm getting my USB devices to work during the install, but it still complains that it cannot find the optical drive drivers so it won't proceed with the installation. What's quite interesting is that I don't have one connected to my computer, since my old one was still IDE and the new motherboard doesn't quite support that :)
Now apparently this is quite the general error message when some drivers are missing. Is there any way to find out what drivers are missing?
I made a boot-able USB install stick with the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool.
The user manual for the motherboard had some guides, but they dealt with the USB 3.0 driver issues only.
tl;dr: Windows 7 installation on skylake processor via USB needs some drivers (for ????) and won't install.
Any ideas?

Sorry for bumping your question but im about to do the same thing even though i still havent find a reliable windows 7 pro 64bit download. Did you buy it or do you know some source?
I'm about to embark on a large PC upgrade, where a motherboard, a CPU, a graphics card and quite possibly a PSU will get replaced. I currently have a working 500W PSU. I'm trying to understand if I could keep it for the upgraded build, with the new GPU and all.
The graphics card in question is one recommended to me in a previous thread, which is Gigabyte's GV-R939WF2-8GD. I looked up its wattage, and Gigabyte "recommends" a 600W PSU. Every other site just copy-pasted the recommendation. I also tried calculating the power consumption on a PSU calculator and it gave me less than 500.
>Is that recommendation a solid requirement?
>Does it apply to a single-card configuration, or does it assume a crossfire configuration is at hand?

I'm looking for a coding font.
What I want:
1 Legibility (l <=> I, 0 <=> O etc)

3 NOT a bitmap font, meaning it can still be antialiased
(4) A bold variation would be really cool, but it's not that important.
Pic related is an illustration of what I'm looking for. Left the vectorized glyph, right renderings. I would just do it myself, but I want to check whether somebody has done it already.

I've borrowed an installation image from a friend. The USB boots into the installation menu just fine but it seems that Windows 7 image a bit of a problem with the new Intel 170 chipset when installing via USB. There are a lot of half-arsed methods of getting around that but their success rate is low.
Even though it does boot from USB, you need to have the USB 3.0 drivers on the USB/installation image regardless.My best bet is https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25476/Windows-7-USB-3-0-Creator-Utility later today. At worst you can get an internet DVD drive from somewhere and burn a DVD with the Windows 7 installation.

You don't need a 600W PSU if you're going for a single-GPU system. Most of the time a 500W PSU is solid if you don't plan to overclock your CPU/GPU/CF/SLI.

>>54165885
Use http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator to see how your build fares in terms of power requirements. I think the CX500 will do just fine. You pay good money for long-lasting power supplies and the CX is alright. Your system would. The 390 is around ~250-300W. You have sufficient headroom for everything else. Be sure that the 12V rail has the proper amperage first.
If the PSU, assuming it's a good onem is not capable of supplying the wattage it'll shut down. If you get a shit/cheap PSU it might fry your components and/or explode/fire hazard.

Guys, there must be something like this, come on.
My motherboard only has one pcie x16 slot.
Can I use a ribbon cable or adapter to split that into 2 pcie 8x connectors for crossfire or sli?
>>54165811
whatever phone you choose + ipega controller is the only way to go if you want something recent. The GPD-XD is a good option as well but it's not a phone.
>>54166089
absolutely not. Mobo must be SLI/Crossfire compatible "by BIOS" and if it doesn't have 2 PCIe slots it's not.
Get a new mobo you cheapo.
>>54165298
Very likely.
Go for the light DE's tho (MATE, XFCE, etc)
>>54166136
My lga1156 didn't support sli but I still got it working with a driver mod.
So >>54166089

>>54166247
It's your risk man. That thing puts out 38 on the 12v, that's less then the gpu alone wants. It'll only use that at max, but you're supposed to plan for more then you need at max, not less.

27% fragmentation is bad, isn't it?
>>54166560
Yeah. Check the S.M.A.R.T. while you're at it. And don't use the waifu software because that's embarrassing.
>>54166527
>muh /v/ boogieman!
>>54166531
A few reasons. Matches the z87 ud4h inside, I needed a process to photograph, the front panel was really scratched so this helped it, and I needed something to do because I almost lost my motherboard because of bent pins but I managed to bend them back.
>>54166577
>And don't use the waifu software
Come again?
By the way will working on stuff while a hard drive is defragging mess with anything? Or can I safely listen to a few tunes and do some artshit while it runs?
>>54166603
You can do anything while it's running. It will just skip files that are in use.
Okay i tried playing Grim Dawn but that game kept lagging and giving audio stutters but when I played Rage it played just fine
What is going on?
>>54166635
Killer. Still lost on what "waifu software" means, but thanks for answering the second question.
Quick, gimme a PC that has better specs than the latest iMac
>>54166459

>M390

Yeah. Desktop GPUs are too bulky and noisy and unreliable to go in an iMac. /g/ still believes the CPUs are mobile versions when that's never been the case with iMac.
>>54166707
What are you talking about? They're PCs. You can build one yourself with the same exact specs and it'd be sure to outperform it due to the possibility of overclocking.
>>54166840
Mobile GPU then?
Hah, wow
>>54166847
A coworker challenged me to to find a PC with better specs that the latest iMac. I've been out of touch with the latest PC parts that have been coming out so i ask you guys.
Would an intel Q series Quad core out perform my i3 2100?
>>54166913
uh...
I don't really understand what you're saying. You do know that you can buy individual computer components and basically build your own PC right? I don't know the price of the iMac but you can basically buy the exact same components (save maybe the motherboard which is inconsequential really when you're talking high-end -- heck my $150 motherboard has 1x thunderbolt + 4xUSB 3.0 + 1x usb 3.1) making up the system. I'm p sure it would cost less. You can buy a pre-built PC but that's pointless.
You don't buy apple computers for their performance really.
>>54166707
>mobile GPU
kek
You can easily "build" one yourself far better
It's figuratively like Lego, but easier.
>>54166938
A Q9650 slightly, maybe. (few percent)
But that's the strongest Q quadcore.
Every other Q series gets outperformed by the 2100
>>54167012
I know you can build a PC, dude.
Alright
Let me change the question, hopefully this won't sound like a "do my homework" type of question.
"Quick, build me a PC with better specs than a iMac"
How do I get a cherry mechanical keyboard with russian keycaps ?
>>54167091
Hopefully this won't sound like a threat.
Kill yourself.
>>54167094
why tho
>>54167142
To type in taiwanese obviously
>>54167084
Alright;
>>54167151
You could buy the caps online and stick them on any mech keyboard
>>54167118
But killing myself wouldn't sound like a threat, Anon.
where can I find job on the internet as a freelance?
I need money, and I can't find anything at my college.
>>54167176
Oh okay I thought caps would be specific to some keyboards (I have an mx-board 3.0).
Any website you'd recommend ?
>>54167156
Also I'd like to add that they're only close because the Q series is a quadcore while the i3 is dual core with hyperthreading.
In a task that only uses 1 core, the 2100 smokes the Q9650
>>54167191
eBay but I mean if I were you I would cheap out. I would just buy a key sticker set and put them on my current keyboard.
>>54167181
You can get in legal trouble if you're "encouraging" people to kill themselves.

It still wouldn't be able to let me access any offline files right?
>>54167091
Are you 12? You can get a PC much better than the iMac for lower the price. What's the price of the iMac? This isn't even debatable.
>>54167227
Oh.
What does it mean if my desktop and some random folders on my computer don't actually show things like new folders or moved files until I refresh?
At first I thought it was because I had too much shit on my desktop but some folders do it, too.

Hey man, it's a stupid questions thread.

Does 720 content, displayed on a 1080 screen look any good? I'm sceptical because it's not a clean pixel resizing the way 720 content displayed ona 4k screen would be.
I want to upgrade my TV but I play a lot of Xenoblade Chronicles X and im worried it might look worse on a 1080p tv thana 4k tv because Xenoblade runs in 720.
Or should I not worry?
>>54167609
The issue is your use of ``zero day'' and the claim of being able to block them. Perhaps it is the translation causing the confusion in the term.
``Zero day'' means no-one knows about it, though your use of ``unknown'' tells me you understand this, but claiming to be able to block them is what gives me pause in regards to calling you an outright bullshitter.
Perhaps you mean something else.

$1100. More powerful in every single aspect for less than half the price. Get a $500 4k TV and you're done and pocket the remaining $800.
I got 300 bux (+/- 20 dollars) to blow on a new video card. What should I get?
>>54167722
Nah my eyesight is pretty shit actually.
I'm jsut worried about fuzziness in 720 being upscaled to 1080 vs 4k 4k should be an easy 3:1 pixel ratio.
Why do speaker have to be in front of you for stereo. Wouldnt it be better to place them on the side like headphone speakers? This way the noise is directly pointed at your ears.
>>54167711
720p is going to look like crap either way really. It'll be fine at 1080p, but quality generally depends on how good the scaling is in the TV you buy.

I have a very important assignment i'm currently working on and for this i urgently need a good networking simulation tool which also lets you customize all the client/server/router settings regarding standard gateway IP's and all that other stuff - Something close to the IMUNES thingy but except that it should also auto-correct and/or suggest proper IP value inputs for all the gateways and so on if you just paste a specific IP range for it to work with in the first place.
I really can't get my head wrapped around this stuff (or maybe the material i'm reading is just badly written) and all those online IP calculators won't get me anywhere here as long as i don't even know the proper gateway configs so as to faciliate proper ping responses in said virtual network. Tried looking for gateway calculators but had no luck in that regard either
Any help would be extremely appreciated, doesn't matter if it's free or paid software i'll take it all really

Made some changes myself, removed the PSU since my old one (Corsair CX600) is definitely good enough for this. Still taking advice tho.
Is there a way to create my own mobile data network using my internet/vps?
Is it even possible?
Does using a VPN in a VM but not on the main OS work/still mask the traffic?
>>54167589
500-600W Gold-rated PSU is a better investment if you don't plan to SLI/CF since the energy savings over the course of a year (or its entire lifespan) will net you whatever amount you're saving on buying a less efficient power supply and more. Ditto on the opposite; whatever immediate savings you're making by going with a cheaper PSU will be offset (and more) by the electricity costs.
Fractal Design S and/or s340 for the case for ~$60-70. You can get a cheap cougar case for like $30.
Is ActiveX proprietary?
>>54168624
Allright, thanks mate! I'll see if I can squeeze a Gold-rated PSU in there since the Corsiair is only bronze rated.
I have Asus Maximus VIII Ranger as my motherboard and I'm trying to install Windows 7 on it, with little success.
My processor is the new i7-6700K if that matters.
I'm getting my USB devices to work during the install, but it still complains that it cannot find the optical drive drivers so it won't proceed with the installation. What's quite interesting is that I don't have one connected to my computer, since my old one was still IDE and the new motherboard doesn't quite support that :)
Now apparently this is quite the general error message when some drivers are missing. Is there any way to find out what drivers are missing?
I made a boot-able USB install stick with the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool and Rufus.
The user manual for the motherboard had some guides, but they dealt with the USB 3.0 driver issues only.
tl;dr: Windows 7 installation on skylake processor via USB needs some drivers (for ???? -- can't be for the SATA controller because it does recognize the drives, and it can't (???) be the USB controller because I'm booting off USB and using a USB keyboard/mouse) and won't install.
Any ideas?

trying to set up a Medion desktop I haven't used in 3 years. It won't turn on. The fan starts up, and it makes some sounds that seem like it's booting up, but it cuts off after like 5 seconds. After that the fan starts back up and keeps going but it doesn't boot and the monitor detects nothing. Also the powerlights never come on at all. I've tried unplugging everything and holding the power button for 30 seconds and it still won't work. I'm going to try opening it up maybe tonight or tomorrow and cleaning the insides (although I've never seen the inside of a desktop before so it could be disastrous.
I'm not all that hopeful I can fix it mysself, but what's the most I can do before sending it off to professionals? And way I can do some kind of diagnostics? Absolutely any suggestions are welcome no matter how simple they are. I haven't tried anything other than what I've described.
Thanks lads. I'll try get the model no. of the desktop for you even if it's irrelevant. You're saints.
