if i have 3 chrome windows open, is there a way to move them individually on the task bar? i hate that if i close one by accident and open it back up, there's no way to put it back where it was unless i close and reopen the others.

fuck off

problem: my performance turned from good to unbearably shitty in an instant. my mouse drags noticeably behind, a game which previously ran with around 60 fps dropped to 14 fps. I don't know what's going on.

Considering computer engineering, as someone who wants to learn how a computer works, software AND hardware, is this a good path? I feel as if I could learn the software side on my own time. The hardware elements are probably something that I need to attend a class for.

Is there still a free VPN out there that will allow me to watch US Netflix. If not, which is the best paid one.

too broad
>I feel as if I could learn the software side on my own time.
you could yeah, but you won't

study something more focused and valuable to companies, like computer science or electrical engineering

the harsh truth is that CoE will put have you as a Jack of Two Trades master of neither.

If I were you I would do CS and don't fuck off in your architecture/hardware classes. I did that and made friends with an architecture professor and did research under him.

Recently bought a broken phone off of eBay, however when I opened it up it seems like the previous owner tried to fix it himself and detreaded the screws. How do I go about removing/replacing the screws with fucking the phone up even more?

I only get the first occurrence of a pattern when I use regex in python. Does anyone know why this is?

Whats a good affordable monitor that can pivot into portrait mode?

any monitor with standard mounting screw holes (99%) and a $30 mount from amazon.

if you go this route, you can get any monitor you want

i keep reading about people who run websites and make money off ads from those sites. what kind of sites are they running? What do i need to know to jump on board?

stackoverflow.com/a/4697884

A website that is well SEO optimized that has content that people want to read/view

Google AdSense or some other advertisement program that generates money on views/clicks

Read about where the best placement of ads are (above the fold, etc.)

The SEO optimization is the most important - if you dont' show up on the first page of google when your content gets searched you're not going to make money

I don't recommend this career path. Go to school and get a job, you're not going to make money on ads unless you're getting tens of thousands (at least) of views per day

What's a normal boot time for a machine with a Haswell i7 but no SDD and fast boot disabled? Because I get ~8 minutes with barely anythong on startup and its infuriating.

Is the 72c temperature of my cpu?

Why do you have fast boot disabled?

Do you have an antivirus installed that is set to scan on bootup (like most corporate workstations)?

8 minutes is insane

Its impossible to tell without knowing what is plugged in where on your motherboard

Those temperatures correspond to components plugged in to certain places on the motherboard

I think my rams are failing
I have 2x 4gb 1333, my old mobo only goes up to 1600 I think (M4A87TD/USB3).
If I buy a higher frequency, will they still work as they are 1666? Because I rather pay more now and change the mobo in a year and keep the rams, than to buy ram again.

Only got 1.5/3 serious replies last time. How does this computer look in terms of specs and value? Chassis was rather sturdy though the keyboard was kind of lame.

seems okay, what do you expect it to do?
seems like the store charges 150 more than online

What books would you recommend a newfag beginner? My uni course isn't too helpful and i want to get ahead and learn more before my next year, I got SICP and I'm going to read through that. Any other books that are good? I think next year includes C.

Probably going to put Debian on it and use it for CS, chinese cartoons, notes, all that shit. Price looks on par with other retailers with the same specs.

Hey im looking for a way to retrieve my full msn contact list.
I've already tried logging into outlook and exporting my contact list but I only got like 20% of them there.
If it matters i'm finally maning up and want to talk to a girl.
Thanks

Run memtest before buying new ram

If you use RAM faster than your motherboard supports it will underclock it.

Is there a way to browse "tumblr" without causing the CPU temps reaching 70-80 C?

Yes

>tumblr
What are you browsing?

What happened with the stupid questions thread?

PORN, what else?
The pages won't load properly without JS, and because of tumblr way of animating every GIF/video all at once, this puts a load on the browser.
I've disabled this behavior from about:config, while it helped improve the response of the site, it still pretty much put a strain on the CPU.
Is there a userscript , that "fix" tumblr?

Does anyone know of a chrome extension for youtube that'll at least let me stretch videos to the window?

So is Servo a new engine for a new browser or a new engine for Firefox?

>you could yeah, but you won't
truth. i'm a cs major and i planned to teach myself more advanced math and etc. but you need to have godlike willpower to force yourself to learn difficult things for no reward when you're already drowning in coursework.

>Why do you have fast boot disabled?
I dual boot Linux and it wouldn't install otherwise.
>Do you have an antivirus installed that is set to scan on bootup (like most corporate workstations)?
I don't think so, I just use Defender with everything default.

It's like ctrl alt t to get windows back open look it up

Can I connect a second CPU cooler fan to the chassis fan connector if my mobo doesn't have connectors for two CPU fans?

i have a mid tower with a mATX mobo, and im planning to get msi gtx 950 2gd5
i currently have gt 630 and it fits ok
im just curious if it will not fit in pc

Yeah, use a splitter. You shouldn't use more than two fans on a header though.

Got a kanger evod today and it's giving no throat hit whatsoever

does it need breaking in?

You conveniently fail to mention what case you're actually using, but matx isn't that small and the gtx 950 isn't that big.

case is a random shit, computer was bought in 2009

i know how to get them back, that's not my question.

Cool, thanks.

Also make sure the correct fan is using the end with the tachometer pin, a splitter will only have one.

got it

What is the record number of nested vm's?

What is preventing me from using my Windforce 6950 gpu cooler on a newer card?

Where can I download the default Ubuntu mouse cursor theme? I wanna use it on MAH GENTOO.

It would probably void the warranty on the new card.

I too want Terry Davis's mouse theme.

There was this site that showed you how to bypass every antivirus detection. Does anybody know that link to it, all I know is that the site background was black.

I have a new skylake setup. I7-6700k. Asus ROG Ranger Z179 board. Corsair ddr4-3200mhz 2x8GB kit. Problem is i can't get the ram to run XMP at the rated settings on the box. The PC will hang and refuse to boot with XMP set. This is all with the cpu bone stock too.

I currently have the system set to 4.6ghz @ 1.35v adaptive OC on the cpu. 2666mhz @ CL18 on the ram. Is my memory controller just that picky? Is 3200mhz just no possible?

I've read several places that some high speed ddr4 kits were designed solely for x99 platform which is why I'm having issues. Is that true or just bullshit?

I mean the extra ram speed doesn't make or break my system by any means, but it would be nice to get the advertised speed.

Best or most easiest to use file host for sharing files ~1GB or more? Preferably https.

7 taskbar tweaker lets you rearrange windows. Ignore the name; it works with Windows 7-10.

>5 hours of battery
That sounds terrible. My Spectre x360 claims 12 hours and I actually get 8. So with that trend, you will get less than 4 hours of battery life, which sounds terrible.

My connection to Sup Forums keeps cutting in and out.
Any other website works perfectly fine, but my connection to just Sup Forums will disconnect for like half a minute every 5 to 10 minutes or so
This has been going on for a year, and I only realized this problem is exclusive to Sup Forums today.
Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Are there any good firefox extensions that make browsing Sup Forums better?

>easiest
nty

awesome, thanks

then specify that you need shitty mobile support next time.
no one can read your mind.
or use a fucking desktop like a sane person.

Is there a way to see when your IP was last changed? I think I have gotten a new IP and want to be sure.

I'm having an issue where my PC will either no longer power on at random, or will power certain parts only.
This happens both when I initially try to power on and when I try to wake it from sleep.
I think I've narrowed this down to the internal USB3 connector as playing around with that eventually results in a successful boot, but it's driving me crazy as I can power it off, leave it for a few hours and I'll have the same issue again. I can't seem to find anything else like this after a quick search so I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas. I wondered if it could be a bent pin or a bad cable, but I don't see how that would cause the entire system to fail.

How come when I try to go to torrentz.eu directly it gets blocked by my ISP - but if I google torrentz and click on the link (that links to torrentz.eu) it works?

this is my computer,minus some parts because I got them of amazon. I bought it last September and everything is fine except for the power supply, which started crapping out about 3 weeks ago

I did some research and the random restarts have to be the power supply

should I get teh same power supply and take better care of it? or was it simply not strong enough and I should get 750w?

Does anyone know a firefox extension that allows you to import proxy lists (simple IP:Port) .txt files and switch with 1 click?

Foxy proxy only allows adding 1 proxy at a time

apparently amazon has it cheaper

any help for this Sup Forums?

is there any webm converter for mac

is retard friendly? we are /soc/tards for a reason

It's easy enough to figure out. Google what you need to do and there are tutorials that can walk you through it

Least amount of money I'll have to spend to play overwatch at 4k when I already own a sandy bride mobo, 750w psu, case, old ssd, h60 AIO cooler(only have lga mount for it)?

I assume it's used 2500k($100), 8gb ddr3($40), gtx 1070(will wait for it to hit MSRP), and a 1tb hdd(~60)?

Anyone know of a good cloud storage service other than Dropbox?

I'm looking for one with good security/privacy policies and preferable good sync options (like the ability to have a .gitignore style ignore list in certain directories, etc)

If I want an SSD for my system but a hard drive for storage I need raid support on my MOBO right?

Laught all you want I am just trying to learn to do things and I cant seem to get a proper answer with this rounding program.

Can anybody just point me where the error is?

#include

int main()
{
using namespace std;

int a, b, input, sign;
double div;

cin >> input;

int results[input];

sign = 0;

for(int i = 0; i < input; i++){

cin >> a >> b;

div = a/b;

if (div < 0){
div *= -1;
sign = 1;
}

if ((div + .5) >= (int(div) + 1) && sign == 1)

results[i] = ((int(div) + 1) * -1);

else if ((div + .5) >= (int(div) + 1) && sign == 0)

results[i] = (int(div) + 1);

else

results[i] = int(div);

}

for(int i = 0; i < input; i++){

cout

No. Raid is for getting mutliple drives to act as if they are one in software. You would install your OS on the ssd and just drag and drop files/install large programs on the hdd

PEBCAK

just a guess but you probably need to case b to a double before performing the division, or the result of the division (still int) will be assigned to div
div = a/(double)b;

Will Noctua NH-D15 fit in Corsair Carbide 100R case?

anyone know if time warners so called 200mbs plan actually performs that well. i need some new internet connection as att is being shit right now and I need something to hold me over till google fiber

>200mbit
No website is going to offer you unmetered access.You will be throttled down no matter what.
Paying for anything more then 200mbit on a personal residental line, is stupid and a waste of money

It really depends on what you do with it.

There is nothing you "do with it" that merits 200mbit

att is charging me for 20mbs and ive been having hardware issues giving me only 9mbs downloads I asked to replace my modem and they gave me a older modem telling me it was the newer model

time warner is now advertising 200mbs for $10 less

im trying to find out if people are getting good consistent speed from them.

I basically download alot of movies and am starting to shift to pc online gaming and want to find a decent internet provider cause i want to now play games like witcher 3 but those file sizes may take a while to download

But that's wrong.

Im using it for straight downloading of movies and games 90% of the time

just want decent speed and connection doubt Id ever need to have a 200mbit connection 100% of the time. Really wanted to know if it can actually perform as advertised

what can you do with that type of speed im actually curious
