is there a way to get midi files to play in chrome instead of having to download them?

>windows 8.1
>have three screens

I know this is such an old thing but I can't seem to find a fix for it anywhere

anyone have any clue how to keep this from happening?

How do you sleep at night?

I have a lot of games

I put all my non game applications on my task bar

keeping them separate makes more sense and it's a cleaner look

How can it happen?
How do I mitigate it?

I plan to upclock a FX-8300 to 3.7ghz or 4.0ghz in a mATX case

Would water cooling be necessary?

also the case is a n200 which has clearance for many CPU fans and also room for a front-mounted radiator

I bought a Ruizu x02 b/c I fell for the meme and it's in Chinese

How do I make it not Chinese

I can't find the settings menu in English when I google

I'm running cygwin and find isn't working. I've tried:
>find . *
>find -help
>/bin/find -help
>/usr/bin/find -help
And they all return a blank line
I even tried reinstalling find in cygwin to no avail. Any suggestions?

nvm I'm retarded, they put "language" in english in the settings menu

How does it feel to be wrong

are you going to help or just criticize?

Does anyone know how to change the behavior of keyboard buttons?
I have a t420, and right above the right/left arrow buttons are quickbuttons to go back/foward in browsers, I'd like to switch those with ctrl+pg dwn and ctrl+pg up to move between tabs

How do you sleep at night with a neckbeard that long

Just try Ubuntu. It's free. It's very unlikely anything other than your Windows has been compromised.

did you even read what he wrote? he already runs ubuntu.

I have some ingredients (white flour, oils) I won't be eating now that I've made vegan croissants once (after finding none in France since that one place stopped serving them). Should I turn this stuff into firestarter? Or is there a better use for it?

Why do PC video games perform worse in windowed mode than they do in fullscreen mode?

fullscreen/exclusive mode it directly controls the screen output.
in windowed mode it has to send it to the window manager first.

so windowed you have an extra layer between before you see anything on your screen.

How do I see if there is a Trojan in my BIOS
?

There isn't.

How can croissants not be vegan?

Whats the 1 2 34 meme about?

How are you so sure?
It is possible to write a virus for BIOS.

They're typically made with butter, and often milk and eggwash. Mine were pretty good. I through away half of them after deciding it would be illogical to eat them.

making butter and milk and egg does not kill animals

In practice, it does. No one is going to pay to warehouse a bunch of unproductive animals. It's not even sustainable at a loss.

Why do vegans go to such extreme lengths?
You had to go out of your way and inconvenience yourself just to have your croissants made a certain way.
I would understand your aversion to eating them if say, they came coupled with ham or turkey inside, or something of that sort, but why does it matter if it had a few dairy products?
Do you have a medical condition affecting your diet?

Why don't you eat poop? Oh, wait, you do! Checkmate, carnists ;)

I didn't ask in any demeaning way

Have some propaganda

youtube.com/watch?v=UcN7SGGoCNI

must be an american thing. shame how you treat your animals.

Biological facts do not vary by country.

the hand up the cow backside was actually difficult to watch, had to close the tab

its a shame that eggs and milk taste so good though.
I will admit, I have noticed a very obvious different in the quality of food when I was in both Europe and Central America. Tastes much better and fresher.

>everyone who raises animals is a cruel monster
>ignoring the fact you need happy animals to be productive
>it's a known fact stressed cows give less milk
have some reality

Why does Windows 10 change wallpapers randomly when it's set to change only once per day? How can they have fucked up something so simple, and still not have fixed it? What the fuck?

What about the others who have dies on Everest this season? It's up to seven now.

because windows

I overestimated how long a 1TB drive would last before it starts to run low on space. Should I go with another 1TB drive (maybe WD Black? Current HDD is WD Blue) or risk a 2TB drive? On the latter, how reliable are they compared to years ago?

How can I underclock my GPU so that it's almost impossible to play gaems? I tried MSI afterburner, but it does not let me exceed -105 on core clock.

don't use blacks for storage, rather get an SSD.

I'm using 2TB wd greens for 5 years now and a 8TB archive for 1 year without anything dying on me yet.

If I buy a laptop that has an AMD APU processor with R5 graphics, as well as a discrete R7 graphics, do these two work together?

I mean, I know they show up as separate devices in Device Manager. What I would like to know is, if for any GPU-based program, the workload is shared between the two graphics modules.

Cx600 good enough PSU for a 980 ti? Someone is selling their 980 ti for $250 so I would like to snag that ASAP.

I currently have a Trojan that antiviruses can't detect. Do I need to suspect BIOS infection?

Sup Forums should i use keepass or keepassx?

keepass

I'm using this, but I actually have autism:

How long does it take for a laptop to get made? I was sent an email saying it was being constructed and it's been eight business days with nothing

I recently installed a VPN, connected, tested it out, but upon disconnecting it I could no longer connect to the internet at all. The computer said I had a connection and diagnostics said nothing was wrong. I couldn't connect for an hour, but now I can...

Does anyone know what gives?

how do i deploy a project i made in node.js to a debian server

i can only use the commandline

copy the files to your server and then run it in a second screen or run it with a process manager like pm2.
if it's a webservice then reverse proxy it with your webserver.

How can i fix my headset's USB cable?

It does not work ATM, I know it's related to the USB because i can trigger the light on the volume switch if i jiggle it enough.

I'd try replacing it with any old USB connector, But this particular headset has audio output and audio input. I'm absolutely retarded when it comes to electronics / hardware, So if anyone could advise me as to what i should do, thank you.

Forgot to take the joke trip off, btw.

I'm shopping for a router, and I'm trying to decide between a couple. Does anyone know if the TP-LINK Talon AD7200 will give much better range or signal quality than the Archer C2600? They're both essentially identical except for the antenna configuration, except for the AD7200 having wireless in the 60Ghz range, but I don't need that.

Cached DNS results? ipconfig /flushdns in command prompt.

>>don't use blacks for storage, rather get an SSD.
Probably forgot to mention that I'm already using a 250GB SSD for the OS and key applications. Just limiting how many stuff I put on it after finding out that you can only write to them a certain number of times. So if not WD Black, go with Blue? Don't exactly have the money for a 1TB SSD.

In any case, do 2TB drives use a single platter (thus reducing the odds of failure) now?

Is it worth overclocking for gaming?

I have a 4690k with a NH-D15 cooler (bought mainly for silence and temps)

Stock clocks are 3.5GHz (temps 28-32) and voltage is on auto (tried it on 4.8GHz for a few minutes and voltage went to around 1.35vish

What are the best settings to use voltage wise? What reasonable overclock could I get on this and is it even worth it for gaming?

sorry, I ment instead of getting a fast HDD you should get an SSD.

but you're looking for storage, so look at the green ones, you don't need fast disks for saving files. if blues are cheaper then go for them. the extra cash for blacks isn't worth it.

you do want to have a backup for everything you want anyway, hardware failure can always happen even for the most reliable drives.

I'm trying to port forward, but I'm having a lot of trouble. I followed the instructions on portforward.com to the letter, but it still won't work

nice blogpost

Are you sure you need to port FORWARD and not BACKWARD?

are you behind 2 routers? your modem might be a modem/router combo. either that or you need to open the port in the farewell.

I guess I should pose it as a question. How do I port forward?

firewall i mean

How do i make this my start menu on firefox?

what's your current setup?
post screenshots of your routers port forwarding settings and any other detail, your local ip addresses, ports, etc.

are you sure you aren't behind a second ISP NAT? you can't port forward these.
your ISP could also just blocking all ports but the necessary ones.
you might want to give them a call and ask.

It was successful.

I now noticed that my static IP address has changed, you think that might have had something to do with it? Maybe my ISP noticed I was connected to a VPN and switched my normal IP?

If I get a 1440 monitor, will I have any issues with things that don't natively support anything above 1080?

thx bro

How can I test my MB without a cpu?

The fan turns on, but I don't know if its working

resolution doesn't have an impact on that unless you also run a high dpi mode. not all applications support that.
based on whatever OS you're using some programs could look washed due to scaling out or be completely misaligned.

If my case already has fans in it, do I need to get more fans? The case in question is a CM Storm Trooper, and it's going to be a gaming rig.

is there a GUI for it? I don't like typing in command prompts

if you have a overheating problem then it could help.

What's the best way to edit a webm?
I'm using webm cam and it won't let me delete frames anymore so I need to edit it manually, but fucking nothing supports webm

it's the most powerful converter that exists, learn the few basics and you won't regret it.

So, I have a sound system hooked up to one of my computers. I was wondering if any one can tell me of a program where I can send audio from any one device to the computer the amp is hooked up to.

The thing isn't even built yet. The case came with 3 (iirc) preinstalled fans.

I have used it in the past, I just don't like typing long commands with it

How do I add the E: or F: drives to the index?

SYSTEM has 'Full Control' on each disk.

webm for retards.

you're better off recording/editing in a different format and then converting it.

if you have to edit this one then convert it to h264 losslessly with the fastest preset, edit it and then export it to vp8/9 webm again.

This just came up in conversation:

I admin a website. If someone posts CP, do I immediately delete it or do I remove it from view but keep it on the servers so the authorities have evidence?

are they external disks or internal ones?
you can only index internal disks.

They are internal. Disk management marks them as 'dynamic' and 'simple volume'.

Decided to build a PC, as I've been stuck on my mid-range laptop for the last few years.

I intend to buy an RX 480 with the rest of the stuff in the pic, when it launches.

Any criticisms?

Good deal? Thinking about buying one since it's -$15 off on ebay so it comes out to $95 and I need an external for my Xbone

I got a used Dell Optiplex 390. It has a Windows 7 sticker code thing on it, and Windows 10 on the drive.

How can I do a clean install of Windows 7 or even 10 if I have to, and keep a copy to redo a clean install later?

I plan to mess with the hard drive and boot systems and I want to try and keep this free windows copy that came with my new computer. Also trying to do this legitimately, I know enough shady dudes who could get me "free" windows if that was all I wanted, but I want a copy I can call my own without the guilt.

>>you do want to have a backup for everything you want anyway, hardware failure can always happen even for the most reliable drives.
My thoughts exactly. So far the WD portable drives haven't failed me but they're all nearly full as it is from backing up stuff from my laptop (which predates my first build). Noticed the prices for those went down a bit recently so I might invest in another in the future. At least for the files that would at the very least be a pain in the ass to replace.

For money's sake, I'll look to another 1TB internal drive. Might have to split things between "Anime/Hentai/JAVs" and "everything else". Or I could try to stop hoarding stuff. Had no idea the Danbooru Downloader folder reached 277GB in just a week.

Are there any decent, simple video editors for Windows? Movie maker from what I've seen is too limited
Google as always is fucking useless

shotcut

why'd you want to do that? anyway just set your mobo's integrated card as default if you hate performance.

So, is there a high-quality version of the switches that go into your typical mouse that I can buy somewhere?

What exactly is in those compressed air cans? I sprayed it on my CPU socket with the can sideways and it sprayed some of the white chemical in the can on the CPU socket, but it evaporated away quickly. I'm probably fine, right? I don't think it was frost because it wasn't *that* cold. I can't exactly test if the motherboard is working right now, so that's why I'm asking. If I RMA the motherboard, will Asus be able to tell what I did or am I just worrying too much?
