Anyone have mouse recommendation for games? I want one with no smoothing/acceleration.

what do you guys think of this potential build?

probably going to wait for 1070 to be released and price drop

Fuck off to

What information or specs do I need to keep in mind when choosing a new HSF for my gaming PC?

Not sure if this is the best place for this, but a porn company is threatening to sue. I didn't use Tor/proxies anything like that

How fucked am I? Trying to ask $5400

Dimensions to make sure it fits is top priority. Just look up cooler benchmarks for performance and noise levels.

lain is a slut who got blacked

Is there a foss version of winrar for windows or should I just go pirate winrar again to avoid the message spam?

Everyone says ignore it I have never known what happens though. They are definitely trying to shake you down for money but idk if your worth fucking with if you say no.

>$5400
how much did you download?

Use 7-zip.

Is it better to have 6GB ram in 3 sticks running single channel, or have 4GB at dual channel ?

7z can handle rar files with a proprietary plugin.

18 files, asking 300 per

Really scary because I also had downloaded more (all from kat) that some other company might try and fine me with.

My ISP emailed me the letter from the companies asking me to pay a settlement, honestly can't believe I didn't spend 20 minutes learning how to use a proxy desu

it doesn't need any plugins to handle rar files

That's all it is, scare tactics
Either ignore it or tell them something about having your wifi unsecured, delete the files to be safe I guess

Which browser should I use?
I just want something that isn't a botnet.
I'm a total newfag but I checked out the wiki.
Firefox, Icecat, and chromium are "free web browsers", and the rest are "not free" (I guess botnet?).
Which one should I use?

There is no way that they charge $300 a file. They are just trying to shake you up.

If they go to court they have to prove that you did it and they can only win an amount that restores their losses + court costs. If it's a subscription site those 'losses' will be low (like say, one month's subscription fee). They will claim high court costs so say their lawyers charged hourly, but they would also have to prove those costs to the judge. Those costs would only be so high given how straight-forward the case is. In addition there's a risk that they could lose the case, in which case they would have to pay you your court costs etc.

Basically it likely wouldn't be worth taking you to court. I'm not a lawyer but I'd just ignore it.

I went onto the copyrightsettlement site and put in the case specifics, is that too incriminating?

750W PSU is maybe too much
what the purpose of this build ? i7 vs i5 in games doesn't make a lot of differences
>ram DDR3
go for DDR4 2400MHz

That's pretty vague, it depends on whether you actually admitted to anything or not

Yeah, DDR3 will not worth with that motherboard

my father got the email and called their contact, he says he didn't give out any names/personal info. Hopefully he didn't fuck us over

I want to make webms of the anime that I downloaded. But sony vegas and adobe premier don't accept mkv files.
Avidemux seems to accept some but it doesn't accept some Coalgirls releases.
What video editor accepts the most encodings?
Will I have to use a video transcoder?

Can someone recommend me a stable version of Firefox that doesn't throttles as much as the latest ? My dad can't use Firefox because it's just freezes randomly on he's pc(Windows 7), I've already checked for viruses or other things I couldn't find none. Before the lasts updates he could use it normally though.
Thanks.

use ffmpeg, it's command line tool, you can download it from here
ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/
you don't need to install anything, just put the video file you want to encode in the bin folder then run command line and use the instructions here:

Is 1440x900 considered a low resolution?

How do you set up java for programming on windows?

I was following some tutorial, but its giving me path error and whatnot, its so confusing with all the different parts of bullshits (jre, jdk, java ee).

Also which IDE is the most recommended?

I'd say anything below 1080p is considered low resolution for a desktop nowadays

How could I make creepy gifs like this from scratch? Like assuming all I'm capable of doing is stuff in gimp and photoshop.

What video editor would you recommend?

Does anyone know how to schedule a task in Windows to automatically download a zip file and extract the contents to a specified folder, overwriting the existing contents?

It's not as easy as simply creating a systemd service.

I just download jdk and eclipse, kek.

emacs

What C language would I be best off trying to learn? C++? C#?

I'd likely not be programming a lot of GUI.

There's this piece of software which is free, or perhaps even open source, which does a really good job at muxing about. Like transferring the h264 and aac/ac3/dts, what have you, into a different container.
But you could also just extract the contents using the mkvtoolnix GUI program.

C++ and C# are completely different.
If you're already using Visual Studio, just go with C# as your first language. It's easy to pickup and there's plenty of good ways to learn it, while still allowing you to do quite a lot with it.

How do i get unsalty at incompetent IT drones and get my drive to do shit back?

I'm pretty much paid to shitpost because of my past achievements at my current company and because I work remote. I just can't bring myself to do any new development though, I've just been maintaining all my past work.

Every time I start work on something I just think. Nobody is going to care if I do this or not, I'll just go shitpost.

Visual Studio, eh? That sounds awful. I'm a bit of a freetard.

Aah, I think it was this one:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMedia_Recode

Look for a new job

github.com/Wsheerio/webmConverter
just use this ffmpeg wrapper if you're too lazy to write commands

learn C++. For GUI stuff use QT, for multimedia programs you can use SDL (games, image viewer..)

Thanks.

Probably schedule a batch file using gnu wget

IPO soon, within a year or so. I have options that haven't fully vested yet

Hey, /sqt/.
Since /spg/ wouldn't help me, could you people help me? I'm trying to root my Huawei P8 Lite, but I can't find any documentation nor anything else on my model/build number. I would really appreciate help.

$50 budget
What mechanical keyboard should I get?

what do you need help with?

I'm using the Motospeed CK104 which I got from Gearbest. It really is a great budget mechanical keyboard, it has backlighting, but if you're not into it, you can turn it off. Link: gearbest.com/keyboards/pp_298472.html

I need help with rooting my Huawei P8 Lite.

I got hard time trying to php on xubuntu
I installed apache, lamp, php on my computer.
when I run a file php from localhost on my browser it work ok
but when I run html with in it - doesn't show anything.
I tried searching it on google but can't find solution. also worth mentioning might be that I need to type sudo in terminal to modify files.

or just could someone tell me other way to test php code when I'm learning it?

look it up on xda

I'll probably get told to fuck off...

air cooling vs. water cooling

more specificly:

Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3

vs.

Corsair Hydro Series H90

Hi, I'm the guy that updated Debian from Jessie to Stretch without removing the Nvidia drivers beforehand so the GUI no longer loaded (startx and xinit did nothing).

After removing (purge) all Nvidia related packages, and removing the Xorg config files, the problem persists, but the logfile is naturally different.

I removed xorg and xinit, updated, rebooted, etc. Nothing. The logfile hasn't changed apparently, but I'll update it shortly just in case.

If you could help me out I would appreciate it greatly.

Thanks in advance.

Here's the (previous, but apparently identical to the new one) logfile.
pastebin.com/wy40iCDx

I did, I couldn't find anything about my model.

Don't be a dolt and look up the pros and cons, then decide which fit your situation best.

closed loop water cooling a shit

don't waste so many buck, just go for a pure rock or hyper evo

iroot.com/how-to-articles/how-to-root-huawei-p-8-lite-without-with-pc.html
it's a shill article but it might work, who knows

120mm closed loop coolers are a waste of money, go 240mm+ or air

Doesn't ship here unfortunately, any other recommendations? I'll pay with some smug lolis

Would starting my own DNS server help improve responsiveness when browsing for my home network? Have a lot of devices and several people using it at once.

Oh, that sucks. But, nice taste of lolis you have there. moar

Ordering a CM devastator (budget), what mouse pad should I get?

Pic related.

I use the Steelseries QcK+. Bretty gud.

You save 100-200 ms on stored lookups, new lookups might take slightly longer

mousepads come down to personal preference mostly

That looks fucking hideous, jesus h christ

So placebo in other words?

My dad has got me a job making a website for a big business. Can I learn HTML5/CSS/PHP in a week? Enough to create a modern looking snazzy site

As I said, you can turn the lights off, if you mean the font on the keycaps, then I'll have to agree with you. Those look fucking bad. I'm planning on ordering better ones.

I have this CPU and I need virtualization support, what's a cheap upgrade?

I'm trying to decide between
newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811352021
and
amazon.com/dp/B00K6S1B3Q/?tag=pcpapi-20
for a case.

What's your motherboard?

I bought a PC online but I'm not sure the 500 watt PSU is good enough. I have an old cooler master 600 watt PSU in my old one, would that be good or should I buy a bigger one?

Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L

pick up an old xeon maybe

What about Das? Personally I've never used them, but they look comfy and robust

Go with the Fractal one, the Phanteks Enthoo case looks like your typical gaymer normie case

From the reviews it sounds durable and awesome. Thanks user.

True but I've had some that tear and stuff. I've been using A4 papers (discarded lab results) for ages but I'm playing some fps game so I thought it's time to get something half decent.

ignore completely.
how did they contact you though?

But that isn't cheap, if it was I would've gotten that. It looks really fucking good.

Delete all the files, say your WiFi was unsecure, wipe browser history and run shitty cleaner software. Then tell them to eat a bag of flaming shit.

My internet provider sent me an email with their copyright complaint attached

Try Vivaldi. Seriously, it's beautiful, minus the chrome botnet and disgusting memory usage and you can use chrome extensions on it.

What kind of proxies can one use for torrenting? Would have used tor but that's tcp. Must I get a VPN of some kind?

What are some good tutorials / books to learn the command line?
I went through the codeacademy one and feel like there's so much more to it.

Buy a VPN. Other than that, your ISP can see what you do through a proxy/VPN anyway rofl
cybrary.it

Does anyone know if it's possible to create a link on your website with GPS coordinates, that links to google maps on a PC, but on mobile uses your default GPS app to open the coordinates, and not your browser.

I seriously can't figure it out.

Awesome. Thanks.

I'm looking for an LTE phone in the US with two gigs of RAM, removable battery, micro SD and rootable for att for around 150. I have a moto e 2 and it won't make call ls even after several factory resets.

I'm building a new pc in a few weeks but from a bit of research i'm still torn between a Haswell or Skylake CPU.

Any advice you guys can give ?

Well Skylake is a newer architecture, so that should be an obvious choice, but there's also Broadwell-E, depending on your budget, if you wanna build a monster.

Thanks everybody. I used mkvtoolnix and it worked.

I'd say C++. It's way harder on you regarding syntax, which forces you to learn shit the "correct" way. Also, when you are proficient at C++, it takes about 1-2 days to get proficient C#.
The opposite isn't true.

I preordered a game on Amazon, just got an email saying I should receive it on the 9th, but on the item page they just updated it with this:

>Want to receive this the day it comes out?
>Order within 54 hrs 57 mins and choose FREE Two-Day Shipping at checkout.

I chose Two-Day Shipping when I ordered the item so does that mean the email was wrong and I will get it on the day it comes out (the 7th)? Or do I need to cancel my order and place it again to get it on the release day for some reason?

How can I download all pictures from a website?
All tools I find online are completely shit

DownThemAll

wget

You need to contact Amazon and ask them
