put the short code in the subject, you fucking retards. the whole point is to make it easier to search for (and filter) these threads.

How long can CPU of laptop stay at 80-90 C?

until it dies

Is it true that you shouldn't cover the laptop after you turn it off for at least 30 seconds to allow heat to dissipate first?

Is there a music player for android that can see the flac music I have just like.. Clementine on PC? Like, when it finds an album to divide it in pieces.

If it remains hot to the touch then caution would be advised.

Poweramp

Well, I do use Poweramp and it doesn't work at all. I have the albums and that's it, 1h songs.

Is it a really bad idea to use a theme in a passphrase, e.g. just typing 8 different car brands, animals or countries?

Is it absolutely critical that the words are randomly generated to stand a chance against a dictionary attack?

Can someone post every windows 10 pasta ? And all those webm showing windows 10 spying on people ?

A dictionary attack can't resolve the words you use one by one. "FordDodge" is different from "DodgeFord".
With 8 words, there are so many different combinations that it's safe.

How do people manage to walk long distances like between cities or across the country? Do they just walk along the freeway, or are there trails you can walk on, or what?

Is it worth getting a solid state keyboard if I don't do much typing besides for work?

>solid state keyboard
Can you link to one?

You're right that is a stupid question, but it's not technology related so you shouldn't expect an answer

I get Office from being a student but it says it's limited until I stop being a student. Is that actually so and will it stop working once my license doesn't refresh anymore or can you still keep using it after that?

anyone else here use an HTC One m7? the sprint version

is there a decent ROM out right? im thinking of just going back to cm11 since thats what worked, seems like anything new has way too many bugs

I have system instability (Firefox crashes, pagefault BSODs) and the Windows memory diagnostic tool reports a hardware problem. But the tool also crashed twice before completing a scan, and then my system refused to boot, throwing the "hardware component failure" beep code. Though this morning it boots again.

Pretty sure I'm on the hook for more RAM but I'm just worried it's something more serious because I've never seen a bad stick of RAM cause that much of a stink before

How come I've got 2 windows 10 boot entries, one referring to C:\WINDOWS, which seems to be my default, and another one referring to C:\Windows?
I'm confused as to why one is all caps and the other is not, and why the fuck are there 2 in the first place? It just appeared one day after installing an update (not the anniversary)

I got Office from my university's program and nothing stopped working when I graduated, I kind of doubt they'll deactivate your key or something unless you're using some kind of time-limited subscription program or something

Noctua NH-U12S is it enough for i7-6700k? (€ 62,50)

Or should I get Noctua NH-U14S(€ 70,50), the difference is like 8€ on computer universe.

Theoretically any factor in your password that makes it more predictable also makes it weaker. In practice though it's unlikely an algorithm will make such connections, and it's not as if the attacker will know what kind of scheme you used. Also, if it's a password for a website or email or something, brute forcing is usually irrelevant as long as your password isn't retardedly simple, since almost any web server will have measures in place to prevent it unless they've already been compromised in some other way.

is it possible to keep torrent files and seed them after formatting my PC?
if I backup the .torrent files and put the completely downloaded files in the same original folder, what can go wrong?

How i disable the add/billboard blocker in the 4chanx extension?

Bump

It's easier to just back up %AppData%\uTorrent\resume.dat and put it back in that location afterward, assuming you're using uTorrent. If not, then the applicable file for whatever client you use.

nothing.

Your torrent client has a setting where you can specify the folder it looks through for downloaded torrent files. Just put the files back where they were after formatting, or point your client to where they are now.

thanks, but would it proceed seeding even after I don't have the files? or am I supposed to keep them too?

Does human consciousness arise within the brain, or is the brain just an interface with something much larger that we can't see that exists outside the body?

How to bypass sites that force to disable adblock/NoScript?

ctrl-w

Anti Adblock Killer will fix some but not all of it

No, of course you keep the files. They have to be in the same place as well, but what I'm saying is if you just keep the torrents then you have no record of where those torrents were saved to, so you have to manually navigate to each directory again, and sometimes the torrent client will be a bitch and try to make subfolders it shouldn't or something making life harder than it needs to be, and also you have to wait for everything to hash check when it discovers the files are there, and sometimes something goes BADLY WRONG and files get deleted and it tries to redownload them from scratch. If you just transfer the resume.dat then it picks up where it left off without even knowing anything changed.

Though of course it is of vital importance that you do get the paths exactly like they were before, but even in a case they're not it will just throw a harmless "files not found" error and give you time to fix it.

alright thanks m8, time to get the bloatware off this laptop

Hello is this the thread for stupid questions

I just got an s7 edge and it took 4 screen protectors to finally get one that properly stuck and stayed in place.
My question is:
Are there any cases that are screen protector friendly? Or is my best bet to get a skin and just be super careful?

No this is the thread for stupid answers

What do you think it will seed if the files it wants to seed are gone?

mmmm, brain

Why those zigzags? They serve for what exactly?

No mate that's next door

What is this translucid thing in the base of the green components?

Friend wants to build a gaymen PC for 700$.
Decided to help, where do I start?
Are there any good guides that aren't outdated?

Where the fuck is Dwight you faggot?

Does anyone know if Dropbox is relatively secure? As in, not going to look through my files?

How do I get my Galaxy s5 to update to Marshmellow? Not auto finding the update via software update

1h old clean install. What do?

install linux

I don't think Linux can help me install AU.

What are nice SSID's for my wireless network

For things dealing with high frequency the trace length is adjusted for proper timing.

Looks like they're just spacers, hard to tell.

What's the best e-mail service?
I need to switch from Gmail since you guys keep telling they're spying on me

Skype is using 59GB of RAM to run. Any ideas why?

no idea but I know the solution is to restart it. software sometimes tends to do stupid shit

xXxChildPr0nxXx

It doesn't really matter.

Lets say you send from gmail -> gmail
Then google will know the conversation.
If you send X -> gmail, google would still know the conversation.
Assuming the majority of people you know is either using outlook, gmail or a work email, you can't really escape that people will know what you are sending.

What you (probably) want is to encrypt your emails.
This requires that you create a pgp key, upload it and tell people to use it.

I use k9 mail client + apg on the phone, then reading/sending encrypted emails is as easy as downloading an attachment.

If want to host your own mail server for some reason, I would recommend iredmail.

So my computer is displaying images like this now instead of the correct thumbnail, does this mean my HDD is dying?

>no Dwight
Fuck you, OP

It's both as easy to find and as easy to filter with /sqt/ in the title as it is in the comment.

Computer at work (90% of time nothing to do) so want to play some cs:go on it. processor is a G630 dual core 2.7ghz. If I buy an old graphics card in it. Can I play cs go at 60 fps. Screen is 1366x768? any adivse on the cheapest graphics card that will do the job? (will by second handed prob). power supply is 500w so no prob here
thx!

If 90 is the maximum you're fine, 100-110 might be an issue but must laptops turn off at that temp

ayy

Should I get an Nvidia 1060 or Amd 470?

Which is the better price per watt?
I live in a city where the electricity rate is very high so wattage matters.

Where's the best place to go about getting an IDE HDD?
They're not something people hold onto nowadays.

Get SpeedFan and check the S.M.A.R.T.:

Why do people still use H.264 for TV/Anime/Movies and not the superior H.265?

CrystalDiskInfo okay instead?

Why do you need one?
You'd have to use a decade old mobo

There is no reason to, no hardware supports new hvec acceleration.
Its only use in scene releases because they wanted to get on the bandwagon(the one you're falling for) and be "better" then the other.
Beyond compression, there is no reason to use it

I would try both if I could.

how do i check RAM clock and/or CL on linux?

>Beyond compression, there is no reason to use it
But this is exactly what I want

try using ccleaner to clean your thumbnails.
After a bit they should load back up

No he wouldn't

How fucking poor are you that 25% smaller file sizes matter that much?
You dont have a card that will support hardware accleration.

I'm interesting in setting my PS2 up to load games off a hard drive.
That's IDE only unfortunately. I could gamble and buy them off ebay until I get a working one, but I'm hoping there's a better way.

I dont know if this is the right place to ask, but I don't want to make a thread for it. Any good tablet recommendations for about £100 ($130ish)?

If you don't plan on needing the NIC, there's a SATA version

They do not matter *that* much, but I would prefer if they were smaller
>You dont have a card that will support hardware accleration
I'm sure I don't understand something but I can play H.265 just fine

Shit. Is there?
Guess I have some googling to do.

Thanks for the heads up.

Is there an adapter for this kind of car lighter plugs? I want to use it at home and I got only L plug/Schuko sockets here.

A very simple google will educate you.

I have a CX550M Corsair PSU and I'm looking into using an R9 390. Will I be okay? CPU is the i5-2500k

gonna buy a 1440p monitor, want to keep it pretty cheap. U2515H looked good to me BUT
is 25" enough or will i get eye cancer if it's not 27"?

Don't know if this counts but, I'm a freshman going to study CS, and I'm really interested in writing VSTs, one of my main goal is to write a simple subtractive synth.

Anyone have any guidelines on how I can achieve that ? All I know is I gonna be good in math, take a module in DSP and know my C++, but that's really all I know.

What do I do next?

1) Is there a decent method of implementing bash on Windows that isn't massively dated like win-bash is?

2) What's the best textbook for stuff that K&R doesn't cover, like threading and sockets?

Found, forget it.

The dell ultra sharp monitors has always been top tier for me.
anything higher than 1440p should be 27"inch+, 25 is prefect dpi
sven.de/dpi/

What gpu would serve a 120hz 1440p screen? Fury x or 1070 or ..?

You will get fired. Find work to do, and get promoted instead.

install gentoo

Im finally building my dream home server and i got all the parts and everything but 1 thing still bugs me.

Idk what OS to put on it. Need suggestions and protips pls.

The server is really powerfull and will be used for: NAS, VPN, seedbox, steam link, plex server, and a i plan to host some gameservers on it ( starbound, minecraft, CS GO etc..)

Would Ubuntu server edition be ok for this?

Just play on your phone or get a psp or Nintendo or something.

So /g i have a problem my rx 480 and i5 4460 are getting lower fps than other videos. Wat do?

I'm having trouble implementing a deciphering tool.
Basically, the decryption formula is d(x) = a^-1 (x-b) mod m (It's the Affine Cipher:rumkin.com/tools/cipher/affine.php)
And the first couple of letters work okay, but I can't get the correct answer after that (pic related). Here's my code:

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
std::cout

Assuming you're talking about videos like LTT or Jayztwocents, You need to understand that those videos are made with fresh installs with no bloat. An actual usual with background processes and whatnot probably wouldn't get the same specs.
