Muh laptop will not go to sleep when running Windows 10.
It's fine with GNU/Linux. Powercfg -requests gives me nothing.

which windows should i install, 8.1 or 7? I understand that windows 7 is for the most part better however it is much older than 8.1. Would it not be better to go with a newer version? Also should i pirate it or not.

does anyone know anything about the acer xf240h ?
it's the same price as a benQ xl2411z in europe, cheaper in the US, and it has freesync.
it's so cheap I'm afraid the colours will be complete shit, but I can't find any reviews online

age is not an issue as long as it still gets security updates.

get 10 if you dont care about MS / NSA spying on you.
get 7 if you care about it and you can remove those spyware updates.

stay away from 8/8.1 there's zero reasons to get it.

also pirate of course.

Why isn't there a tablet with an LED display?

got a few good ratings by newegg buyers

only review i could find: youtube.com/watch?v=drc4IZEfR8E

i'd probably get the benq one if it has actual reviews by hardware sites over the acer.

I don't speak what seems to be polish so this review won't help me much, they didn't even write anything on screen I can google translate

I'm not in a hurry, I was just thinking of buying a 144hz 24" so I looked around and found this acer, which seemed interesting.
I'll just wait for review to pop up

I bought a Bose Quietcomfort 35 headset and I cannot get it paired through bluetooth to my laptop.
Well linking to it works, but I can't get my laptop to recognize it as a headphone.

I tried to:
>removed all the bluetooth software and reinstalled the latest drivers
>installed the latest firmware on the headphones and tried to link it throught the USB directly into a USB port (didn't work)

I spent hourrs browsing on the internet but I an't find a solution for it, it links perfectly to my Android tablet.

If I check out in the device manager the headphones aren't connected throught the bluetooth tab, but under the remaining tab as a generic device. Windows simply asks me to install the correct driver because it won't recognise it.

Running Windows 7 on a ASUS P2520LA. The bluetooth dongle seems to be embedded on the wifi of the laptop, Realtek 8821AE

What's a good vpn?
Belgium has stupid retention laws, maffiaa is hunting down on torrent sites. Users next? Bloody google analytics,...,...

Trust.zone looks nice? Will it work on a asudwrt router?

google torrentfreak+vpn

i see many recommend PIA

routers dont matter, it's a software you install on your PC that encrypts your traffic and sends it thru a server.

why would you want a VPN in belgium for torrenting? there just block torrent sites with DNS bans and that's it. Just google for a proxy or use the website's ip to connect to it directly and you're set
They don't monitor anything, there are zero risks with torrenting.
There's no belgian Hadopi if that's what you're afraid of

>there just block torrent sites with DNS bans and that's it
>there
>what is a proxy/mirror

they just block* , typed too fast

>implying copyright holders cant hire someone to monitor torrents and send a request to his ISP

been torrenting for 15 years in Brussels, never had this, nor any of my friends.
oh wow, a typo, better correct it like an asshole. And that's what I said, you can just use a proxy or anything else to go around DNS bans

>been torrenting for 15 years in Brussels, never had this, nor any of my friends.
doesnt mean it cant happen

>oh wow, a typo, better correct it like an asshole
butthurt

>doesn't mean it can't happen
I have retard friends who download anything and everything, and their families who do the same.
I've never found anyone in Belgium, be it a friend or even someone posting something on the internet, that got anything serious for torrenting, ie something more than an american corp sending you an email with no legal value whatsoever.

Torrenting in belgium doesn't require a VPN, the country is too small for anyone to give a shit

still doesnt mean it cant happen unless you can actually show me your copyright infringement laws and prove it's impossible to get a letter or be charged.

and i'm not saying he needs one, but he asked and got an answer.

well if the ISP got an email from a copyright holder, at most they'd forward it to the user.
You need a court decision for anything else to happen, and there's never been one in belgian history concerning this. The BAF (belgian anti-piracy federation) has been trying to do it for years, never once did it happen.
It's exactly the same as streaming movies, it may be illegal but nothing will ever happen.

On Windows 10 my laptop crashes everytime I use the webcam

Yeah, but i use my router as a openvpn client/server. Works great with dd-wrt. Now on asuswrt whitch is a bit more polished and slimmed down.

As an openvpn client it would route all my lan clients trough the vpn. IF the vpn provider uses standard ipenvpn tactics. I read somewhere thats not the case with some

Well, just seems like the pressure is up.. i only download media, ebooks... All my software is ligit. But indeed Belgium is a small country, but I Rather want to be safe than sorry. I don't like it that someone with a court order can use my web history to imply god knows what. Maybe a silly thought in 2016.

Even if torrenters aren't caught today, it is still illegal. Who knows when the lawmakers are up to date in 10 years you'll get fined for that movie you are downloading right now.

Okay fags, how do I turn off the "Restore last session" in firefox so I can continue to fap to furry trap without anyone seeing it?

they first need to make a law so ISPs have to keep record of who uses what IP that long. currently just a few countries even have laws for that, and it's not for that long.

in the fucking options you tard.

I don't see it fag

buy glasses you retard

Anyone have a suggestion on how to fake traffic on a gameserver?

>literally the first option that you see when you enter options page

Dude, my session is stored somewhere, you can still restore it even without the "restore" button. I want firefox to not save my session in a file

>I want firefox to not save my session in a file
That's "private browsing".

Does anyone else here use homebrew? For the past week, every time I run "brew update", it says "Already up-to-date.", which is kind of weird, since there's usually something updated every day. Did something in the way updates are done change recently, or is my installation fucked?

Well fuck this, I don't want to open private browsing all the time, I'm sure there's a way to deactivate this

you're fucking retarded.

...

Is it bad to turn off intel turbo boost when OCing a CPU? I've found it makes the CPU get too hot, 90C+ on a stress test when it is only 80C with it disabled.

just make a shortcut to private browsing and use it instead of regular firefox you retarded lazy french faggot.

What size UPS do I need just to let my computer shut down without damaging anything? Specs are i5 4690k + R9 290 and OS is on a solid state. Do I need to do any special setup to let the UPS shut down the computer?

It does run the cpu hot. I turn it off and I'm not oc'ing.

Are you talking about the page thumbnails that show up on the newtab page?

support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/942687

Also, set firefox to clear all history when you close the browser.

Hey, I'm on vacation in Germany and I live in a dorm with protected wifi for its dwellers. For a week it keep disconnecting which is annoying af. There are about 4 routers in the building and it seems that only this one my phone is connecting with is fucked up coz when it connects to another network (router, coz there is one network) works perfectly. I've installed numerous apps but the don't allow me to change router, wifi analyser shows that all of routers are in range of my phone. Fuck, is there a possibility to change the router? Image from analyser shows everything. I want to connect with e4:8d....

So I have a vm running linux, I have it run firefox and use a few extensions that make it automate visiting a few pages, mainly for browser games for collecting daily bonuses, points etc. I use iMacros to do these tasks and my weekly browsing schedule to make it run at a certain time everyday.

Problem is that it seems to slow down to a crawl after a while and just takes forever to run through the tasks. Does anyone have a better solution? I just need it to be able to refresh a page, click a bunch of things once everyday, I have very little programming experience but wouldn't might reading up writing scripts if resources are provided and stuff.

I just realized 99% of porn sites aren't https. Does that mean my ISP knows about all my indefensible fetishes and has logged my every search and clicked videos?

I need the CPU with the best single-threaded performance. Is the i7 4790k really the best? No, it's not for gaming.

Pretty much.
I recommend using Tor.

Pretty sure they know about whatever you browse through HTTPS too

getting bored of the stability of debian
should I install gentoo again

>Pretty sure they know about whatever you browse through HTTPS too
They'll know what sites you've connected to, but they'll have very little information about what you did there.

How do I pass through my graphics card?

OS: Linux Mint
Guest OS: Windows
GPU: GTX 960
Oracle Virtualbox

I currently have 8gb (2*4) of ddr3 ram in my computer which are about 3 years old. I bought a 16gb (2*8) kit because i had some money to spend.

My question is, is it possible to use 20gb of ram with two 8gb and one 4gb or would that somehow slow the ram performance?

So, for a planned new, fresh win installation on my new ssd should I choose old, trusty Win 7 or try 8.1 instead?

Whichever you like more. I personally dislike 8.1

I've cracked NY neighbor's WiFi.
And considering the password s the same as SSID I'm sure it's correct.
However when I try using it connect, I get incorrect password.
Any idea?
Could it be the distance?

i installed windows 10
was it a mistake?

Could be, how's the connection? Or maybe he has a MAC filter.

Btw I cracked a neighbors wifi either and it works (I'm still paranoid using it) and tried on 5 other wifi's but I can't crack the fucking passwords.
I am using Hashcat and tried hundreds of GB wordlists but now I have to use masks. But what mask should I start with?
Any advice?

Coreboot or Libreboot and why?

Airdump is reading −70 dBm.
Which I guess isn't a lot.
If its MAC filtering then MAC change should solve it no?
Though I doubt someone that uses the name of the SSID as the password knows about the MAC filtering.
>masks
Depends, try years and people names/nick names.
Also password lists are geared towards english speaking people.
Unless it is a common word, it will rarely crack it.

install arch and tell mom to cancel your meetings

Your CPU and mainboard must support VT-d

could be your wifichip,
check if you use broadcom or atheros 9xxk or one of the others

in my case I can only log into my borrowed internets connection using gnu/linux and a atheros 9380 chipset

doesn't work on Windows OS though with me, and broadcom devices can't loginto the borrowed wifi for some reason

could Sup Forums create a distro?

I don't know much when it comes to PSU and I'm in this situation, I want to add a graphics card to my pc and it requires a 6 pin connector, looking on amazon I found pic related but I dont know if I have to use two molex to power a 6 pin of if it's intended to make a daisy chain out of adaptors

if you are going to use 2 gpu's or so just buy a PSU that has two 6 pin power cables

any PSU over 700 watts should have 2 of them at least

what brand PSU do you use now?

If it was a "daisy chain" as you said, one of the molex connectors would have a female connector, both of those are male connectors.

It's a respectable-no-brand 620W psu unfortunatley it has only 3 molex and 3 sata plus the canonical mobo connectors

the gpu is a 120W gtx 960

i recently replaced the hdd in my laptop with an ssd, and only now that it is silent started to notice a high pitched whine/noise

is it the battery?

Main laptop has a 256 GB SSD and there's room for a second drive. What are the drawbacks of using a HDD for media and storing files you use and bring up frequently for programs like Ableton Live and Reaper compared to a SSD?

looking on google I see how 6pin delivers 70 watt while a single molex 40, two of them could cover the power needed but they bring less amperes, while there are sata to 6 pin wich doesn't have this problem
still I don't understand jack of this and I trust more Sup Forums than some random forum, how should I do then?

Yeah I noticed too late

Need to make an IT documentation web page for my job. Anyone have any suggestions? Thought about using Ghost but don't know how well it would work to force a blogging platform to be a documentation website. Only requirements is that it is easy for them to use, navigate, and allows them to upload images without taking much time (right now they have to file search to upload an image, they want to "drag and drop".

how badly would a GTX 1080 be bottlenecked by an i5-4460 in games?
i would be able to ugprade cpu in a couple months, but in the meantime ill need to stick to the 4460.

Using Windows 10 """"""""""""Professional""""""""""""""
Want to make it so when I open a file by double clicking on it, it uses the default program but adds a /n command line switch when it runs

There is no fucking way to do this anymore is there?

The top 10 pages of google results yield no answers.

Its not going to impact the performance, unless you have to load heavy files from the hdd or install your programs in it, be sure the second slot isn't SATA II

So a friend from high school offered me 1000 a week to pentest his tech company, not sure if I should do it my gameplan so far is to buy picklocks a usb rubber ducky a lan turtle and a wifi pineapple, is this a good idea? also am I correct in assuming to work the wifi pineapple I connect it to my laptop connect my laptop to a wifi point then run the configuration script then configure my pineapple through browser? also what should I know if I'm doing a pentest any templates to use or anything like that? also what are the laws regarding carrying lockpicks in the uk?

Alright, thanks man.

What do I do with this empty SSD?
>Arc 100 Series 240GB

games

I don't have that many games on the PC and they go on the C drive (M.2).

What resolution? You should be fine in general, it's not like you should expect to get utter crap performance from it or anything.

You guys got any tips for removing tight screws in laptops? my fan has become misaligned so need to replace it, but struggling to get the last screw out.

Yes, I know what the error means. But if I can't access the control panel from my internal display, then how do set up optimus? I seriously doubt it will just work without any configuration..
I'm currently on Windows 7 on a Thinkpad W520. The eGPU is connected through the expresscard slot, and is being powered by my 24-pin 250W PSU.

When I check my control panel, the GTX 960 is visible, so I'm completely lost as to what the problem is, here.

Is there a way to export an appchan x theme to Sup Forums x?
Appchan x is bloated as fuck and hasn't been updated since forever.
I want to switch to Sup Forums x, but I can't stand the default themes. The only one that doesn't make me go blind is tomorrow and it's hot garbage.

at 1440p. i know it won't be awful, but i'm not sure how bad it will be.

Should be fine for a while especially if you're targeting 60FPS, 1440p puts quite a lot of stress on the graphics card.

60 fps average? Sure. Stable 60 fps on recent games, hell no.

In HTML, is there a way to make a single anchor open multiple different links in new tabs instead of just one link?

And importantly, is there a way to do it using only HTML, and JS?

why not? the 1080 gets very high fps in all modern games at 1440p, so even with a 4460 it should be a stable 60+ fps

Should be fine for anyone who can actually use his brain and tweak a bit, if you go full retard and max absolutely retarded settings then no.

I just got a Macbook Pro, completely new to it. Can I really not save an image from Safari in a specific album in Photos? It either gives me the option to save it in a much larger folder like documents, applications, etc. or to add it to Photos. That means I have to go to Photos and add it to the specific album myself. There's got to be a workaround, right?

The same thing goes for My Photo Stream. If I've transferred pictures from my iPhone to the Mac through Photo Stream, do I have to move the Photo Stream pictures to another album to save them? Because if I delete them from my phone then I lose them on the Mac (which I don't want).

If you haven't already, try running 'brew doctor'
There have been a couple of days where nothing has updated for me. I can't help you much past that, its just werked for me

I'm trying to get a product key for windows 7 professional so I can download windows 10 for free, but cannot for the life of me fucking find one. Someone please help me.

the free upgrade period is over, you can't upgrade to 10 for free anymore.

Private internet access for torrent stuff.

Tor for browsing

There is a link for people who are disabled, but it requires no proof. It's kind of silly actually.

6-pin is essentially just 2 12V's and 2 grounds to keep the amperage in those lines at a reasonable level, molex (1 12V and 2 grounds and a 5v) times two could in theory be combined to form a 6-pin, but and this is quite big: your psu may not be expecting that much draw from those molex lines, could just poop out and trip over-current protections, or just can't deliver that much power through those lines especially if the other lines are taxed. Just get a PSU that has the connections you need, less hassle and less risk of you burning your house down or damaging your other components

Any ups with remote monitoring will do.

Oh my, they are going to release your non static IP address to the world and tell everyone you like trap porn. You probably only share an address pool with 64000 people
