How does one blankpost nowadays?
The old methods I knew don't work

What's the best cheap server for a DIY seedbox?

Do you need to be autistic to do programming?

Finally!

1) Other than tripwire itself, is there something similar for windows, that monitors both filesystem changes (including separate filehandle "streams" in NTFS) and changes to the registry

2) Vaping is tech. Can weed be vaped? If so, what type/model of vape is used to do this?

nice quads.

No. IMHO programming well requires a special mindset, and that mindset is also found in autistic people.

So you don't need to be autistic, just programmers sometimes tend to have it.

Is it okay just buying a $900 PC from best buy if all I plan to do with it is shitpost, listen to music, minor gayming (don't need insanefps max graphics) and work?

>inb4 no retard build your PC it's so easy
Serious question. If so, what brands should I look for or stay away from? Any tips would be nice

How should I fix a phone I hard bricked?

How do I take off or replace a battery from an Assus r556l?

Also if it crashes how am I supposed to reset it if windows is not responding?

Find it's section on XDA and find a solution specific to your phone

How do i install spotify for free, because its not available in my country.

It uses different equipment, but there is a way to superheat it so you get a similar cloud that's intense and easier on your lungs.

What's the brand? If it's Alienware, stay the fuck away. It'll have something majorly fuck up within a year.

Ohhhh Alienware, the macs of PC.

Buying at best buy you're pretty much always going to pay too much, which translates to not getting as much tech

I accidentally used the Ccleaner registry cleaner and I don't think I backed anything up. How fucked am I?

Anyone knows a good site where I can learn algorithm from basic to advanced level?

I feel I made a major mistake by buying Asus. I should have bought a lenovo.

I can't find a fix for the LG G4. I've had the phone for a month. Could I get it repaired if I bring it to a T-mobile store?

Unless something is going wrong you should be fine

Don't know rn. Most likely your run of the mill HP, Dell. Maybe Lenovo or Asus. As I said, I don't really need something extreme. Just basic functions and maybe a game here and there.

I have a dualboot set up on my T420 with Windows 7 and Kali (I am experimenting with pen testing). Is there anyway I can block access to the windows partition while I am on Kali, and also block access to the Kali partition while I am on Windows?

Well you've voided the hell out of your warentee, but sometimes they have tools there that can help restore you to factory default

I have a flash drive full of movies that my PS3 can't read when I put it in there, but it can read movies in the same file formats and encodings through network share. Problem is, it only reads files that are actually on my PC, even though I ticked all sharing/streaming boxes for the flash drive. PS3 media server doesn't work on my PC for whatever reason(PS3 doesn't see it but can see it on my girl's comp), and I don't have enough drive space left to put all the movies onto my PC. Halp?

Encrypt them both individually.

My gigabyte windforce 770 floats around 75-80 degrees C when I play wow. Is that normal?
My case ventilation seems fine. The gpu is actually the only part blowing hot air straight into the case since my cpu cooler radiator blows air out of the case

Anything but lenovo and their spyware

2014 HP Omen here, this thing is incredible and cost me $950 on Amazon a while back. Does exactly what you've described for me on a daily basis and then some, except the gaming is pretty based. I'm talking 1080p/Max/30, 720p/Max/60 or 1080p/Med/60 on Dark Souls 3. Prices are probably lower with the new Omens out, even though they're shit compared to this one. Literally hollowed out Pavilions with gaymen stuff stuck inside, and not much stronger stuff than the 2015 Omen at that.

Try JTAG
Try an all in one toolkit or ADB via USB, if you can get your PC to read it at all
Boot to Linux for full access to the file system, if the phone has any life left in it
If all else fails, enjoy your brick.

its a different machine as far as i know.
you have a tobacco vape that uses 'juice'
and then you have a 'dry herb' vape that uses..dry..herbs..

Put flash drive in computer

A coworker of mine used to mix hash oil into his regular vape tubes, said it worked fine. I never tried it, allergic to THC.

Sorry, should clarify, I did exactly that. PS3 isn't seeing the flash drive or any videos from it when it's plugged into the computer, but is seeing the stuff that's on the computer. If I move just one video from the flash drive to the computer, it plays fine, but I don't have room for the whole collection.

what is multiple indirection even for?

What the fug happened to my VNC session?

I have a VirtualBox VM running a VNC server and this is what my client started displaying. It still sort-of responded to mouse movements so the VM hadn't crashed.

It fixed itself after a while.

It is a Linux VM running stock graphics drivers (no guest additions).

Well you've got to figure out what program is responsible for setting your libraries and change them to include the flash drive

So I'm trying to install windows 7 64bit on my GPT hdd. I have a (shitty) uefi bios.
So I'm booting my install CD but when I try to install windows on my partition the installer says that I can't install it on my gpt hard drive and I have no idea why. Any explanations/workarounds? I wish to keep the content of the rest of my partitions by the way.

In volafile.io profiles, some of them have a vgpk#

what is it? is it related to ToX?

Skylake?

Before I send a HDD back for a refund should I dban it, since I used it for torrenting or will deleting the files be enough?

no, sandy bridge.

What's the exact message it gives you?

dynamic data structures

I'd probably just shred the files just to be sure

>Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the gpt partition style
I suspect this is because for some reason, my cd-rom doesn't boot in uefi mode.

They are amazing right.

I'm having a problem with low graphic games recently.

Games like Hearthstone or an indie pixel game only get around 20 fps unless I start a more graphic intensive game beforehand.

So I'm having 20 fps in Hearthstone and start Overwatch just for 10 seconds or so and then I suddenly have my normal 144 fps in HS and other games as well. This "fix" stays for the rest of my computer's uptime.

Anybody knows anything about the "Hijack.Host" file in System32/drivers/etc? MalwareBytes' picking it up as a threat but I'm not sure if it's just a false positive.

I've modified the hosts file months ago to block out M$ IP's during the whole Windows 10 forceful upgrade fiasco, if it has anything to do with that.

They are ass, and they die young.

Well I'd just macrium the contents of those drives to a backup then erase everything and start over. If it's still giving you problems then try disabling secure boot/uefi and just go MBR with everything

Which PC do you recommend for gaming then? I was supposed to buy one this weekend.

If you have an Nvidia card and Nvidia control panel, just set the indie games to use the Nvidia card manually. They're probably auto-choosing your igpu due to low resource intensity, so if your igpu is ass, no dice. If you do have an Nvidia card and don't have Geforce Experience and Geforce Control Panel, download them.

Looks cool. I'll consider it, but I think I'd rather use just a stationary desktop at home tho. Is there a desktop near-equivalent to the Omen around $800-900?

Do you think an HP or Dell desktop could run a game like DS3 on like mid settings, or at the very least CSGO? The games I would play prob won't be too demanding at all

Are SATA-to-USB adapters reliable and generally usable? Ie. they don't destroy/corrupt the drive or its data?

I may have to replace my desktop computer with a laptop (a laptop *only*, no other computers) soon, but I don't want to lose access to its two internal 2 TB hard drives. I can't come up with any other reasonable way to access their data than an adapter. But I've never used such adapters before and their reliability concerns me.

I might just do that but still this is such a pain in the ass.
My bios doesn't even have an explicit secure boot or uefi option, sigh. What a monumental piece of shit. Maybe I'll try booting with an usb iso instead of a CDROM...

Dell, asus, maybe hp or acer.

I assume you mean under "manage 3D settings"? I don't really see anything that's about using my igpu instead of my gpu.

And can't I tell my goddamn pc I never want to use my igpu for any game?

Do I need any DirectX version to run MPV? or anything like that?

How do I rip the fatests vapes?

Is their a recommended shredder?

They are the exact same as a USB HDD. So yeah, they are fine.

Dunno, shred which comes with coreutils should do its job.

Disable the igpu from the Device Manager.

Can I replace the WLAN NIC in my HP envy 15-j000eb with an Intel one?

I just got my phone back from samsung.
I checked sammobile and the firmware currently installed on my phone is not there.
How do I backup the firmware installed on it?

As long as the one you get supports the power rail you need you're fine. So if the drive needs a 12v rail, get a usb with 12v support

my GTX 970 goes to 77-80 celsius under load, Is that too hot?

Mine sits at about 70-75c under load

I think the fan only comes on at 70 as part of their quiet "technology", hows the rest of the systems cooling?

cpu goes to 65 under load but its a stock cooler so its expected

I meant the case's fans and stuff, post temps
I'm inclined to suggest your cooling is shit and it's all running a little hot, should be safe until about 90c generally in any case

anything below 85 is fine

Having a problem uploading images on Sup Forums via mobile. When I use Overchan I get a "SSl/HTTPS ERROR" when using Clover it just hangs forever and when I use Chrome or Firefox I get a time out error. Anyone know how to fixed? I've already tried wiping my phone and clean installing two different roms, and tired a different kernel but nothing seems to work.

They are? That was new to me.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

I guess I'll either buy one of those adapters or get an external hard drive enclosure. Ten minutes ago I didn't even know those existed, but just found out. Good to know I have options.

Whats the easiest and most convenient way to save streaming videos that you watch through a browser? All tools Ive seen for that usage seem old and deprecated.

clipconverter.cc/

This website works for almost everything I throw against it. Sometimes you have to click the next button twice when you try an unsupported website. By some magic it usually works then.

As soon as you click the download button it usually gives a highly annoying pop up add, but it's by far the best website I have found for it.

Or you can always use youtube-dl.

What's the best VPN?

I remember there was a comparison chart somewhere, I think it was a google sheets file.

Need something for Kodi and other block bypassing.

If I only want to make either websites or mobile vidya and I've already gone through Think java, should i just dive in?

SICP is interesting but long winded.

Have been learning some basics of C++ what is the best 3d rendering language to go with that? My vision is to be able to make spinning cube by coding it myself

Thanks but Im looking for something a bit more generic. I want to be able to browse the videos I've watched using my browser. For example, I dont think the site you posted would work with sites with registrations.

youtube-dl supports several sites.
otherwise press F12 and look in the network tab if there's a media file somewhere.
if the page is streaming with DASH or HLS then you need to download the chunks on your own and join them.

What's a good free mail if you want to escape from Google's clutches? I already don't use chrome and mostly duckduckgo

Would a portable disk enclosure's adapter power the device if it's embedded bus connection isn't used, but standard connectors are instead?

I'm looking into the dreamcast ata mod; wondering if I can have dedicated power without a full psu.

I want to install Windows 10 Home on my new build.
1) is it safe to buy Windows 10 Home OEM key from Kinguin?
2) do I need to do anything else other than downloading the ISO from the Windows website and burn it onto a USB flash drive?

Windows OEM Keys:

When you use an OEM key on your self build you violate the OEM System Builder license agreement. You must install the software using the OEM Preinstallation Kit and then resell the PC to a third party. If you install that software on your own PC, you don't have a "genuine" copy of Windows.

You can't just burn a Windows ISO. You need a tool like Rufus (for convenience).

Would it be smart to upgrade to a newer phone? I currently own an iPhone 4S and lately, it's been slowing down and/or freezing when I do basic stuff such as text, read content online or view photos.

I don't really care if it's a top-of-the-line phone, would an iPhone 5C be a good choice?

>I refuse to use Android, tried it once and it wasn't a pleasant experience

My 3 month old 3TB WD red has started making a humming noise that it wasn't making before. Crystaldisk says health status is "good".

Should I be concerned?

Back up anything important. Just to be safe.

Something edited the host file that wasnt you.

No, buy some noctua fans for your case.

Thanks for telling me that, but now I'm lost.
1) what am I supposed to do to install Windows 10 Home on a new build home?
2) isn't Windows Media Creation Tool enough to burn Windows ISO into a pen drive?

just install it and enter the key.
the creation tool is fine.

Are curved keyboards a meme?

Ok but which key? I don't have one. All the Windows keys I come across are OEM keys, where am I supposed to find a legal non-OEM key?

What about the X-51? It has good reviews across the board and all? Not too expensive either

oem keys are fine if you live in europe.
I've only bought the OEM windows versions since 7.
You can get those at pretty much any retailer or online shops.

your mother is a meme you meme

Shit how did you know

What course can I take in college to help me prepare for CCENT certification....
Please respond

If I am really only gonna invest time in one right now should it be C or C++
