I know it's not /FL related, but if I buy pepper from the grocery store and plant them, will they grow well? Or should I opt for a specialized plant seed.

if you live in a warm climate or have somewhere in direct sunlight they might do well

not sure why you would use store bought peppers when you can get seeds from any variety online tho

Why won't this fucking XBOX one controller driver install correctly?

I fucking have windows 7 updated all the fucking way to it's current fucking cuck edition and the fucking driver still won't install correctly


I unistalled the driver, reinstalled it.
I installed the driver directly from Microsoft
I updated the .Net and reinstalled the fucking driver.

I'm out of fucking options, the controllers work for Xbox one but not my Win7 PC. Please help because the only answers seem to be the typical ''have you unistalled the driver and reinstalled it''

So i'm a dummy that knows very little about processors (i've been using the AMD Phenom x4 II 965 for the last 4 years) and i'm looking to upgrade.

Is the i5 6600k worth the 200 bucks + whatever a new mobo costs? According to CPUboss i'd only gain .1 GHz extra before overclocking.

cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-6600K-vs-AMD-Phenom-II-X4-965

Am i missing something or am i retarded?

I had the same problem. i ended up just partitioning my hdd and dual booting windows 10 for my gaymin needs. I think microsoft did that purposefully so that xbone controllers wouldn't work on windows 7

Oh my goddman. I installed all those fucking updates JUST for this fucking controller.

ghz don't matter unless the two processors have the same number of instructions per cycle (IPC). overclocking doesn't result in better performance just because more ghz are better, it matters because THAT chip running at more ghz are better.

the phenom's IPC is fucking ancient. look up benchmarks for the two chips.

Okay, so on PassMark the Phenom gets a score of 4248 versus the 6600k's 7799, that's a huge improvement, damn.

Thanks man.

passmark isn't that good of an indicator but look up practical benchmarks for games or software etc, the phenom was pretty good for its day but was still below the first generation i7's, and the 6600k is a pretty damn marked improvement over the first gen i7's

Best resources for absolute beginners getting in to web dev. And do you think it's harmful and/or counterproductive to learn through sites like codeacademy?

ye I was gonna say look up cinebench scores
i think they're a bit better in looking at actual performance

Any idea how long it will take before aftermarket 1070s aren't sold out 24/7? Also do you think that the 480 will have the same problem of limited availability?

i don't wanna look up the 6600k's cinebench score because i'm a lazy cunt but i'm pretty sure that a stock 6600k was close to my i5 4690k's overclocked score

...

Would the Mionix Avior 7000 be a good mouse for me?
>Current mouse: Deathadder 3.5G, I find it a bit large around the back
>Grip: Fingertip
>Hand size: 7" wrist to fingertip, 4” thumb to other side of palm. 18 x 10 cm for non-burgers

also i found this to be pretty lulzy, amd's current lineup of cpus is so shitty that their old phenom chips have better single core performance LOL

Stock 6600k would probably be lower than an OC 4690k.

Anybody have their CNEE cert.? My community college offers it and I'm thinking about getting it. Just wondering what it's like. Only thing that I think I might have trouble with is the SQL programming as I've never done any before.

maybe, but not by a lot.

I tried to find stock cb scores for the i5 6600k but could only find overclocked ones :V

How is my ghetto modem cooling Sup Forums

what do i major in

turn the flash off
wtf am i looking at

I get this sometimes when playing HTML5 video on Firefox 47, especially on YouTube. It goes away after a while but it's still pretty annoying. Apparently it's the whole page flashing inside the video for some fucking reason. The flashing is more frequent and faster, but it doesn't really show accurately because GIF. What would be the cause of this? Had to upload the GIF somewhere else because it came out too big.

my.mixtape.moe/ljfqgs.gif

looks like a video driver issue

that or just firefox being shit as usual

does it appear in browsers that aren't ff?

You guys are a life saver. I almost bought an xbone controller but i use windows 7.
Thanks!!!!

Sorry user,have a better pic
Is it ghetto enough

jesus christ

What key switches should I get? I want the clickeyness of blue switches but without the sound, while still maintaining the versatility of red switches for gaming and typing alike

Doesn't happen on Chromium. Doesn't happen with mpv, VLC or MPC-HC. Doesn't happen with Flash... or it didn't back when I had it installed. I did that Firefox fresh restart thing and it went away for a while, but then it came back. I guess it's just Firefox being Firefox.

Get a switch tester.

Are there any comparisons out there of all the different aib gtx 1070/1080 versions? Like strix vs g1 vs gigabyte etc? I've seen fe vs aib but no comparison of all the MSI versions for example

Kek,what's wrong.

What i have to do for notifications to appear in my lock screen in my phone?

What do you guys do with all of your old shit that you don't use?
I have a few keyboards and a pair of headphones that I don't want to keep and they need to go before I move. I don't want to just throw them away and I'm not expecting a large sum of money for them.

craigslist

My mobo (I'm pretty sure, though it could be the PSU because my ethernet died a day before the whole thing refused to boot) bit the dust and I want a new one to use my PC again without having to buy everything new.

It's an LGA2011 / X79. It seems like they stopped making them so they're all super expensive on newegg and amazon as far as i can see.

It looks like LGA2011-3 is NOT backwards compatible.

What am I missing here, or am i forced to upgrade my CPU as well?

use ebay instead

What is the cheapest cpu that won't bottleneck the rx 480

that's a lot of effort for 20 bucks tops tho

Is that the only option? No new Mobos support LGA2011 CPUs?

are the headphones that shitty

I'm looking for a new laptop to upgrade to from my t420. Whats the cheapest laptop I can get with a 1080p ips screen and descent battery life?

They are a very old pair of turtle beaches that only work with pc/360
they work fine though

ebay or craigslist

Budget?

What is wrong with your T420?

doesn't seem like it

they were for very high end cpus so they're gonna come with a high end price

look around for the motherboard you want on amazon and newegg and buy it on ebay

I never buy things on ebay used.. do people have them new?

If it's used and doesn't work am I going to have trouble?

yes, they sometimes have them new.

if it's used and doesn't work return it. usually ebay is pretty good about these things i think. ask someone, i only know about the amazon marketplace return policy : S

ok, only thing that sucks is shipping takes fucking forever it looks like. I'm spoiled by prime maybe.

Is OSMC exclusive to the raspberry pi? Can I out it on an odroid or a pc?

eBay pretty much always sides with the buyer. If it breaks sometime later you won't have any warranty though.

My old computer would randomly completely hardlock. It happened no matter what OS (Windows, Linux, including multiple distros, etc)

I figure it can only be the CPU, Motherboard, or maybe RAM. RAM I reckon i can run a battery of tests on to make sure it isn't faulty but CPU/Mobo I guess I can't.

Is there anything I'm missing?

are you overclocked?

No.

I forgot that PSU could also cause it, but i have one i can switch out with.

Can someone with multiple monitors please help me?
I'm curious if there's a way to change which screen the cursor is on with the push of an arbitrary button (such as one of my mouse side buttons).

Ex: I'm in a game and I don't want to press esc to bring up my cursor so I can go to the other screen (also blocking my view of the game). Instead, I want to press one of my mouse buttons and have my cursor switch (or cycle) through my monitors.

You can run tests for the CPU and RAM but motherboard issues are generally determined by process of elimination.

I may have spiled some sugary stuff on my keyboard(Mechanical) , and now some of the keys are pretty sticky.
So i was wondering if i could fix it somehow or if i should just get a new keyboard

$600
Nothing wrong with the dankpad but I just want something with a better screen.

remove the keycaps and wash it.

Good IRC / Webbrowser for over ssh? (terminal, i don't want to forward X). Probably browsing Sup Forums mostly.

Look in to Dual Monitor Tools. I haven't messed around with that but it does have some cursor options.

If i upgrade to windows 10 from a pirated version of 7 will google send the fbi to my house or am i good?

Whats the best tablet that will primarily be used as an e-reader (mostly for comics/graphic novels, but also just regular books). The screen must be good and I'd prefer if it the OS itself didnt lag on it, I also don't really want to pay over $400 for it since after that point I might as well just get a 2-in-1 laptop with detachable screen/tablet

I like irssi and lynx but try a few and see If you like anything better. I think emacs has an irc client and webbrowser.

I don't know if you can even upgrade if you have counterfeit windows. The NSA doesn't give two shits though.

I have tried but it didn't work, they are still sticky as FUCK.(Yes, the fuck HAD to be in caps)

This is perfect! Thank you very much, sir!

What can you do with Python?

Step 1:
Remove keycaps again

Step 2:
Grab a straw and some isopropyl alcohol

Step 3:
Put the straw into the alcohol (just a little bit) and put your finger on the other end

Step 4:
Depress the switch, put the straw in the hole and release your finger

Step 5:
Spam the key for a bit to spread the alcohol


No alcohol? Do it with water and leave the keyboard to dry for two days at the very least.

Still doesn't work? Put some motor oil in there using the same straw method. Or any oil-based lubricant, really.

Hey Sup Forums i have a very unique problem. Windows 10 just freezes and i have to restart my computer to use it again.

I think the problem is my mobo in some way, like I don't have the configuration quite right (UEFI), I've already tested or replaced every other piece of hardware. Check disk comes up clean, Temps, voltages should be good.

I have the latest BIOS version and have all my drivers up to date. I have even RMA'ed my mobo and yet I still have this issue. I've searched around with others for my problem and there are no solutions.

I was able to stave of the problem by changing the amount of memory the onboard graphics but that has stopped working

It could be the processor, but I did run the intel diagnostic and it turned out fine.

Also by luck I do have a compatible processor that I found in the trash at work. No idea if it could just make my system worse though.

Another idea I had is that it could be related to the temperature. Last year i RMA'ed my board around this time because it was happening a bunch. It has only happened a lot during the summer and fine during the other months.

Pic related its temps from yesterday.

I own 2 actually, I have big hands and guarantee there is not a problem ;)

From the looks of your grammar you should just go to trade school

My psu says it has 2 rails on 12v with 18a each from a total sum of 432w. I have a i5 3470, would I be able to use how much power for the gpu? Can anyone point to me a guide that explain all this psu bullshit, I would like to understand how it works. Please, no psu calculator, I want knowledge.

How do i properly clean a good monitor? It has a matte finish, if it matters.

Install gentoo

> would I be able to use how much power for the gpu?

what?

Get on youtube and watch some guides

Microfiber cloth and mild soap, you want to avoid strong cleaners because they can damage any coatings the screen might have.

Thanks alot, hope it will fix it and if not then i'll just buy a new one.

Yea I don't think I get the crashing problem when I was using unbuntu. I am too dumb to install linux mint. I would give linux another go if i could get something other than ubuntu installed.

It depends on how the load is split between the rails.

It won't let you go through with it and in place of your desktop background will have all black in in the corner say windows detected this is an illegitimate copy of windows
There's a way around it idk
I had pirated w7 but just downloaded the free w7 I got from my school and upgraded legitimately from there

format + reinstall windows

i just want to confirm, is getting windows version whatever cheapest here?

reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwareswap/

yea i am trying to get windows 10, some other user in another sqt told me just to buy windows 7 then upgrade. that is what i am about to do

Is this a good build around the rx 480? Red and black aesthetic for AMD. Assuming 1080p gaming. Obviously pretend that 380 says 480.

I want to go back to windows 7, is there a Sup Forums guide somewhere explaining how to remove any possiblities of updating to 10?

Doesn't do a thing, it has happened across multiple installs of windows 7 and 10

Don't buy Windows 10, crack it and buy a 240GB 850 EVO.

I'd suggest getting a 6600k, it's worth the few extra bucks.

Mydigitallife forums have a detailed guide how remove and block the upgrades.

Give me a sec.

I just to understand how people calculated the power consumption requirements vs PSU quality/brand

It seems like it isn't just adding up

In PHPStorm, how do I make the documentation of something in an External Library appear in the file in my project?

whrere are you desu

get samsung SSD 250GB

and also, wait to get gtx 1070 aftermarket card if you're not a poorfag

western digital sucks, maybe try dis

case is great, PSU good, ram looks decent, i am not expert on that

motherboard looks awesome for that price

yea, get the 1070 if u gonna get that processor, it will be worth it in the future

So, on this case...? This psu came with 2 6+2 pcie cables, but I'm not sure even if using 6+6 would be safe, for example.

add the docs to the ide?

using firefox here
I need firefox to remember card numbers so i can just double click the input box and select one
im using Greasemonkey with the following code
Array.prototype.forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('[autocomplete]'), function(elm){elm.setAttribute('autocomplete', 'on')})
which works
what i noticed is this makes it remember the expiration dates & CVV numbers, but not the main card number
Apparently firefox has a backup way of detecting card numbers, the Luhn algorithm, which is further stopping the rememberification of my numbers & I can find no information on how to override this so firefox will remember credit card numbers (so i can double click the card number box & get a list of the numbers, like other auto fill boxes like your address box)

tl;dr how to make Firefox remember credit card numbers, a plugin or script or settings fix?

definitely do not buy windows 10, get windows 7 CD key

He said he is going to get a RX 480.
>WD sucks
Bait/10.

Ignore this user.

you may not even need to buy windows 10 if you have an existing windows 7 key. If you wanna save more you could swap out that h170 motherboard for a b150 m-atx.

Second link was supposed to be this:
forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/64561-Remove-Telemetry-and-Windows-10-Related-Updates-from-Windows-7

Accidentally pasted it twice.

How am I supposed to install addons through the GUI in Xbian? There are no fucking buttons.

I just realized the problem is all the documentation I wrote is gone. FUCK!
