Is it normal to find my mustache distracting after several days of not shaving?

I feel the same way the rare times I let it grow out. Just not used to having it that long I guess

OP here. Just realized my 390 somehow got underclocked from 1040 to 520 mhz. Everything is fixed now

why do all android music players reset the "recently played" playlist when you reboot the phone?

Why would you reboot your... Or right, Android.

what? Is this a thing?
>reboots phone.
don't happen to me.
oh.. its probably stored in ram rather than as a file on the disc

same reason i restart my seed box..
updates dude.

what music player are you using

Trying again.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L505D running Fedora 23 that overheats. The fan doesn't properly turn on which cause the laptop to shut down. Is there any way I can mitigate this issue?
I've tried following this: askubuntu.com/questions/22108/how-to-control-fan-speed but unfortunately pwmconfig doesn't seem to work on my laptop and lm_sensors only report temperature and not fan speed.
I've tried things like powertop and TLP for power management but the issue remains. I've also looked into toshutils but I got an error when I tried to build from source that said my OS wasn't supported.
I'm at an impasse on what to do.

i instaled a dds plugin for photoshop cs3 and enabled plugins in preferences, but when i try to open one it says it can't. what do i do?

H-hey g-guys...h-how do I get my dick out of a tv?

So just a few minutes ago I got a pop-up insisting a restart my computer to update Windows. Thing is, I turned auto-updating off and am on Windows 7. Same message is on the Windows Update screen so chances are it's not a virus, but I'm scanning anyway.

Point is, how the fuck do I stop this? I don't want to restart my computer and end up with a bunch of telemetry shit, or worse, end up with Windows fucking 10. Is there anything I can do to sabotage this update?

I didn't get any 10 shit with my Daz-activated 7 Ultimate. Maybe try re-activating with Daz?

The fuck is a Daz?

Telemetry is the only bad part of Windows 10. The rest of it is great.

How do I get smart about tech stuff like people on Sup Forums?

Steam is having a 50% discount on Witcher 3 FPS.

It is not possible. Leave it there and go about your business.

Fuck if I care. I don't care about what its dick sucking defense force has to say, I'm not putting up with your telemetry.

The only way ensure control of your computer is with a free operating system :^)

Run. Just fucking run.

yes, trim it so it's not coming over your top lip

whatever is bundled with CyanogenMod12

there is a "slim" win x leek
youtube.com/watch?v=gPvMMOx_sxw

if you tell it to "upgrade" and then turn your pc off wen it tries to start it'll assume the update is impossible..

maybe the fan itself is the issue?

well fuck me im not bout that cm life

Yeah yeah. I'm a videogame addict, that's not tenable.

Thanks for some actual help. I'll try that. All that said, is there anything I can do without turning off my computer? I want to know if there's anything less risky before I do that.

will stopping seeding (putting upload to 0kb/s) prevent my isp knowing about my torrenting habbits? i heard the way they find out is by viewing the ips seeding to each torrent

When creating a system restore point, do I need to do so for every hard drive or only the one with the OS installation?

there are a few updates you can disable to ensure it won't try to install automatically
can't remember any off hand
pic is what I've disabled. there are more

on the free software note..
ReactOS should be up to the task before HL3 is out.

i think the Apollo player is what this is based off..
completely unsure though...
you want the .apk?? ill extract it for you.

only the OS

if it'll work on my non CM droid then sure

I've checked the fan and it seems to be working. I ran Windows on it not too long ago and I never ran into this issue.

How bad is congestion for cable internet?

I'm planning to switch from 20 Mbps ADSL2+ (usually averaging 6 Mbps) to 100 Mbps Cable.

Will Cable during congestion still outperform my ASDL2+?

How the fuck do I open .bd2 file format? It's on a ps2 game disc but it's related to Lacerte Tax software which is accounting based shit. Why would a game use such a program to store it's files and do I need this program to further explore the ps2 disc?

unsure if it'll work but here you go:

Doesn't help when it's already nagging me to update, sadly.

What are some cheap SBCs besides raspiss and/or online shops offering them at MSRP?

I posted in the previous thread but didn't get no answer, so maybe this time : what's a good alternative search engine that's not searx (very slow), qwant (lacks some functions and results are not always good), and duckduck (results are sometimes not good too).

Thanks in advance for any sugggestion.

Is maxthon browser a meme? I find it pretty comfy

x264 encoding guide? I look at the one on ffmpeg wiki but it's very simple and don't go into deal about lots of parameters.

nonfree disgusting

MacOS has this thing where you can remap keys for a specific keyboard. How can I get that for Windows 7?

e.g. Remap Capslock to Context menu on only the notebook keyboard, a USB keyboard will still have Capslock be Capslock

then uninstall the updates

can't due to how windows treats keyboards.

what are you implying?

I don't know if Windows does anything like that on its own, but software like AutoHotKey exists.

Should I buy this PC?

If you add a RX 480 to this machine once it is out I think it should excel in every task.

Let's say I want to GPS track something large and I have access to it. What's a cheap (

actually

For work, maybe. For games, no.

Depends on the area and if your neighbours use it. Most folks are on adsl2+ though, and seem to have 0 idea cable is even an option. I'm on 100mbps cable (with telstra) and i typically pull full speed all the time (108-115 on speedtest), worst case is around 7MB/s (though may have just been download server). If you're thinking of going optus they offer unlimited quota on cable, 100mbps speeds too. Not sure how their overall network compares to telstra though.

sorry guys.why the fuck is my phys ram so high. been like that forever. 8gb ram.inb4 its my os, cant think Scythian else.

I had 30 mbps cable and even during times such as steam sales i still managed around 2.5 to 3 MB/s download, while being the last property on the line.

Thanks bro.

I don't have access to Telstra cable so I'm planning on going with Optus. Those speeds have got me drooling but I'm not going to be expecting their full advertised speed

doesnt itake 8 mega bits tomake a mega byte, so your 30mps is reallyonly 2.5 mb? I have a 56 mbpsconnection,nnever above 7mb/s

Sounds good. I'm going to drop the cash for the 100 Mbps cable so hopefully I won't be disappointed

Max 30 Mbps should be maximum 3.75 MB/s. So he's getting a bit under 30 Mbps being the last property on the line I'm assuming

I play my vidya gaems in windowed borderless mode. Problem is, sometimes if I have something even somewhat graphically intensive on my second monitor, my frame rate tanks (but there's no drop reported). I have MSI's afterburner running in the second monitor, and it's not my GPU being maxed out. What exactly causes this?

Windows 7, if it matters.

> chrome.exe *32
> chrome.exe *32
> chrome.exe *32

I see nothing that would prevent it from playing games.

That CPU is a little weaker than the one I got in 2013, and the second one doesn't do much for your toys.

so idk if youre still around but its just an older version of gpm
i actually had this one before i think.
the recently played does seem to stick around after reboot, but there are still the negatives of
-now it has the old issue of album art not showing up in the artist tab view
-this older version doesnt have the spiffy new search suggestions as you type
-its gpm so new music you add will end up in your recently played list
might stick with the updated one, idk

Is there a 144hz 1440p IPS panel that doesn't have trash QC?

I hope dling 64 bit helps. if so ty.

How can I make firefox save my current tabs, but erase everything else (cookies, history, etc.) when I close it?

I don't know what CPU you got in 2013 so that comment is meaningless, and the 2nd CPU does help in games. I own that same system.

Wireless N is no longer cutting it. There is too much congestion in my shitty apartment complex, especially with my defective 5ghz radio on the router limited to like a four foot range.

Anyone have any suggestions for an AC router? I was looking at the RT-AC66 but I want some second opinions.

I need gigabit or I'd just get a xiaomeme router.

Is there any software that will automatically translate audio to English? I'd like to use this for porn, so it wouldn't matter if the translations were shitty. I'd just like to have a general idea what's going on in Japanese, French, German, etc. porns.

bookmark your tabs, silly sausage.

wtf

ooh I just found a refurbished DIR-865L for $35 shipped on newegg. Is this a terrible router? D-Link used to be pure shite but have been out of the loop.

How big of an area are you looking to cover? I personally really dig my TP-Link AC1750.

No. No having 100000000 tabs open will.

500sqft apartment.

Really small. I just want to upgrade because I'm tired of waiting for images to load on Sup Forums and I really like the idea of being able to stream without interruption from my hptc.

Is this terrible: newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833127553 ?

Not looking to spend too much because most of my wireless devices are still on N and will be stuck there.

Why "wtf"? Is it really that dumb of a question? I was under the impression that there was closed captioning software for YouTube that basically did this.

How much traveling can an external hard drive be subjected to?

If you open it and look at the actual drive, there should be a shock rating in Gs.

Somewhere between none and infinite
In general if a hard drive is off and not subjected to hard shocks its fine

On the smallest string of an acoustic guitar, can I play The Egg and I? I found the first thirteen notes by ear but I don't know what's next.

It can go all the way around the world thousands of times and not fail!
Just ask the guys on the space station!

logical recommends this mobo amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GA-F2A88XM-D3H-Bolton-Micro-Motherboard/dp/B00FU829ZQ/?tag=logicaincrem-20 which shot up in price from 68 to 85 over night (is this a cookies thing?) and in the recommenced tab for this it leads to a newer version amazon.com/Gigabyte-Micro-DDR3-Motherboard-GA-F2A88XM-D3HP/dp/B01AG8WKYO/ref=dp_ob_title_ce

question is will this change my build path? I'm going the good route

is there a way to view all active images on a board on Sup Forums?

like the catalog but for images

preferably with a way to check to which thread or even post each image belongs but i am not picky, thank you

how are drive letter assigned after the alphabet is used up?

Can someone reupload this 3mb zip to mediafire or anywhere so that I can download it? I've swear to god I've been trying to download this file for two hours but it isn't working. It's a map pack for my old garmin gps.

They aren't. They need to be mounted in directories instead.

It's CP isn't it.

Which of these 3? Or if there is a better option on that price point.

Also, anyone have experience with Asus or BenQ support when going for an RMA? How was it?

The IPS one.
Fuck TN

It's garmin cyclops.

My TN does black better than my IPS

a.pomf.cat/addqpq.7z

it got auto extracted with jdownloader and I can't make rars, so I 7zipped it.

You have a shitty IPS.

My computer randomly loses sound or its replaced with a long, endless beep. If im watching a video the video starts speeding up awkwardly. Putting it into sleep mode and waking it up makes a POP sound and then it's fixed.

Also sometimes it freezes with this endless beeping. Any chance it's just the sound card? I think I fucked up the sound on my mobo when I first built the PC but the sound card fixed it.

Thank you user.

Thanks, user. Though I keep on finding shit on Asus' customer support when RMAing monitors, do you know of anything?

I wouldn't know. New Zealand protects the consumer, so all of my experiences are with the shop I buy components from. I never have to deal with the manufacturer directly.

When I try watching Netflix through Opera, Chrome, or Firefox it constantly makes my entire computer seize and stutter, but watching it through Edge is just fine.
Only problem is, Edge is fucking terrible. Is there anything I can do about this?

I want to buy a Skylake 6600K and overclock it. How much am I expected to spend on a cooler?

NH-D15 or watercooling.

It's your Rom
