What's with all the "Aw, snap!" error messages in Chromium today?

I'm on the verge of jumping back to Firefox.

if I vape at my processor will it cool it

temp and speed goes high

disable hardware acceleration (this fixes 90% of instability and errors)

Will try, thanks.

is there a webm version of op's picture?

Switched from ios to android today.

In android the share button doesn't have share email function. how do I add this?

I have k9-mail but that doesn't show up as one of the share functions.

...

thanks, but fuck you m8ty

Didn't work. Even the "Send Feedback" button appears broken when it appears.

It came when I installed a larger update to Tumbleweed while browsing.

Does K9 Mail only support hotmail? It isn't working with gmail of cock.li

what

1. Curved monitors really good, or its just marketing shit? How to watch movies?
2. Is any reason to wait AMD ZEN?

i'm using photorec to recover some files that were on my main partition (~2TB). howerver, the destination folder has significantly less space. this causes photorec to stop partway through and request a new destination. since photorec hasn't found any files yet, the destination folder is still empty.

here's my question.
will it still work if i just use the same destination folder?
i've tried this already and even though photorec is telling me it's on a new pass, i notice the "Reading sector" section starts at 0/3696265216.
is photorec really continuing where it left off? or is it starting over?

So I wanted to install a custom ROM on a Galaxy Y duos, I went with one called Gingeicejelly, so I went into the recovery mode, erased all stuff on it, mounted the directories and installed as the installation guide told me to do, then the install went fine.

Now when booting after the installation of that ROM, it was taking a huge ass time to begin the new ROM, as expected, but I'm not sure what happened, it simply didn't boot in 2 days, and I'm not sure if the battery ran outwhile doing the long first boot, but now I can't even get into recovery mode from the smartphone.

is it dead? Is there something I can do?

It would be better if you specified what phone your using. Manufacturer Roms aren't all the same

solved.

Networking question. Should be easy. I'm retarded with networks.

I have my cable modem in my living room, and it sits right next to my router. I have one really long cat5e cable running from my living room router to my office/cave.

In my office, I have my PC. But I want to add other devices: a PS2, PS3, and a couple raspberry pis. I do *not* want to use WiFi, just as a personal preference.

Can I add a network switch and have it all working fine? The really long cat5 cable would connect the router to the switch, and all the devices in my office would also connect to the switch.

Ideally, I would have all these devices on the same subnet: PC on 192.168.1.100, PS2 on 192.168.1.105, etc. The living room router would manage all these IPs, right?

This is actually simplified, because my cable modem is a router as well. The cable modem built in router uses 192.168.0.1, and all the devices in my living room (Roku, HTPC) use that subnet. I do not want the devices in my living room to be able to connect to my shares on 192.168.1.x.

boot loop

you can probably flash some nice things through fastboot (if your pre-war device supports it), or just try getting into recovery through different ways. One of my smartphones needed to be connected to charger with vol up to get into recovery after i flashed bad system image.

Any way I can enable WEBMs to play in a Sup Forums thread on a mac without opening them in a new tab (I got the VLC plugin)?

For the people who know alot about cellphones/smartphones. My friend bought a new iPhone and he asked if I wanted his, problem is he said the phone has this problem because he changed the battery to a non-genuine one (original old one was garbage) and he said that now when he connects to itunes to play or update (??? i have no idea what he does) it says error 29 and doesn't work, he says the phone works fine tho (???).

Couple questions:

1. Aren't iPhones pretty much bound to a specific account? will I be able to use my own account and will he be able to use his account on another iPhone?

2. How do I fix this supposed error 29? I saw some stuff in youtube saying to try using the old battery in the meantime but he lost the old battery, what do?


Thanks

Yes, you can use switch to connect many devices, this is what it was designed for.

You can also buy cheap router (which will be cheaper than a switch) and connect your devices there, but i guess pc+ps2+ps3+couple rpis means there is more than four devices. So, switch.

>ip assign
switches have transparent mode, then it works like simple "network splitter". Router will do all DHCP.

i bet it's a clock. Set up correct date and time.

No, iphones are not tied to accounts, he just needs to log out - if he does not log out, then you wont be able to use it.

The only reason you need to plug it in to itunes is to back it up, add music from comp and images.

Though, there are different applications to put files onto an iPhone. And it may be itunes having the error. Apple hates it when you tamper with their products - so sometimes there is no error, they are trying to lock you out.

Opera on linux does not support Adobe flash player.

Is there anyway i can get adobe flash player to work on opera?

Does this motherboard have built in Wi-fi? I've been told some motherboards have Wi-fi built in nowadays, but I don't want to make a mistake here.

Why does my GPU fan rev up like this whenever I do something like open a tab or program?

Guys what is this notification

>too dumb to google model name and look at full specs

es file explorer is a chinese botnet, delete it

Holy hell, thanks. Good replacement?

ES is shady as fuck. It wasn't that bad years ago, but they keep piling the botnet on.

I use root browser but that's probably a botnet too

total commander™

Thanks all

>using wifi with a desktop
you've already made a mistake desu

So I'll be able to use the phone and connect to my account?

is suicide an option for 20 yo kissless virgins?

Yes

I do not recommend an iphone though. They are shit.

Depends on the method

Works for me and I'm on old-ass 10.5.

What do you recommend? I heard about those ching chong phones but they're insanely expensive in my third world shithole

I'm currently building my first pc, working on the motherboard, and trying to install the cpu
I lined up the cpu like they said and everything but the small lever was hard to press down what should I do? I have tried removing it and placing it back in
please help

Please, rate my pc (incoming 1060). I'm having several second thoughts, even though I'm a poorfag and that should be quite enough for 1080p.
Is the 4570 sufficent for normal AAA titles?

the method would be ninja moves and parkour all posted on the atheist subreddit until i eventually make a mistake and chop my arm off or fall off my roof.

I am downloading torrents for the first time. I downloaded one file quickly and no issues. I started a second file and it was fine too. Then I went into the settings like a dumbass and tried to tinker with things I didn't fully understand. Now my file won't fully download so I tried to restart the download and it stays at 0.0%. I reset everything I tinkered with and I have no clue what the fuck caused such a drastic change. Any ideas?

Nexus 5 or 5x
or
Chink phone redmi pro 3 - some of the chink phones are not sold on the website anymore, but can be found on ebay and such. I recommend that.

If you want a phone that you just wanna shit post on - get a $150 dollar phone from a local store. Preferably something by LG or Sony

Not edgy enough - you need to post on /r/PcMasterRace as well

Delete the torrent client's settings (registry, ini file, .prefs file, whatever your OS uses). Open the client again and don't fuck with things you don't understand.

Watch a video on how to place the lever down - i had this issue before lol. I kept trying to push it down and it was really hard - but then i realised your meat to hold the lever back and place the cover over, then slowly pull the level down,

shit, should I add linkin park to the background of all my videos too?

Are you kidding me? You're not going to play "i play pokemon go" in the background so you get extra up votes?

Jesus man

FUCK
i just pressed the lever down
how fucked am I

should have thought of that, I'll be sure to wear fingerless gloves the whole time as well.

could you take a picture?

did it snap?

Didn't hear any sort of snapping
Fuck
I was just following the instructions man
Said it needed pressure

If I experience hiccups in songs that I play, is it possible my HDD is going bad?

S.M.A.R.T doesn't say anything about it failing or whatsoever.

Looks fine 2 me.

How make webms on phone?

That looks fine bro - unless you didn't place it in properly it will work.


Reply to this thread if the power turns off right after it's turned on - there are two solutions to this

yeah you're fine. too bad you didnt get an unlocked CPU/Mobo or you could have squeezed another year or two out of it.

looks good. i suggest you watch this:
>youtube.com/watch?v=VIF43-0mDk4

local files on your drive or over the internet? internal or external?

even a 2500 would be sufficient, so yes

Ah I just figured it out. Force clicking works well enough.

oh thank god, will do
thanks I needed something like this

It's not even my main phone, I just wanted to test if I could install a custom ROM on this old phone to see if I could do it without fucking up.

The Y Duos method of going into recovery mode is volume up + home button + power button, but shit is not working right now, or any button combination for that matter.

Best program for monitoring SSD health?

well after almost fucking up on the most basic shit I'm don't want to continue the build anymore tonight
how should I pack up the mobo so it doesn't get damaged

Alright user, what did you do?

What's the difference between headphones with an impedience of 32 ohms vs 60 ohms?

I just want to listen to music from my PC or phone.

this

So lets say I get on one of the computers at my college, which is connected to the colleges internet connection.

In order to do this, I have to go to one guy and tell them I want one, he proceeds to assign me one and allow me in.

If I use this computer, enter on my facebook, email, etc, do they have access somehow to this information? Is there a way they can see it?

putting the heatsink on is literally the hardest part of building a computer, you'll be fine

if you're really that paranoid, do a full wipe and reinstall, and then use a VPN

Restore settings to default.
Reinstall.
Or use another client.

Ohms are resistance. Lower = easier to drive as in requires less power to get decent sound out of, but generally high impedance headphones will sound a bit better if you can drive them.

32 ohms vs 60 ohms doesn't matter too much, both will be driven easily by a PC/phone. At 200 ohms+, not so much.

Probably the guy that manages your college internet would notice something in the logs if you need some kind of ID to connect to it.

Like if you were torrenting, using IRC or porn/shady sites.

Yes, but can these people somehow have access to my info if they wanted?

Afterall what I am doing is going through their network isnt it?

Thank you user you're the best

Stop using VLC.
Sounds unrelated to your HDD.

what does torrenting have to do with building a pc?

All those sites you gave as example use secure connections, as long as you logout from all websites when you're done they cant do anything.
Only way they can get access is if there's a keylogger on the PC but this can be avoided if they flash the computers with fresh images every night (ask the IT guy).

>college computer
>format and reinstall
>VPN
try reading more than one word next time

if its a computer that you can't do anything to i.e. wipe or install a VPN, then why the fuck are you doing questionable things on it you dumbfuck

whoops I meant
can I just put it back in the anti-static bag and then into the box?

TLDR? Yes.

If you do the usual tricks you will be fine(VPN, Not being a retard, etc) you probably will be fine.

I don't know how to root my moto e 2nd gen, i used the one touch root app but it didn't work because i have android 5.1 running and it doesn't support it. So how would i root it.

Local files stored in my HDD that I use for media.
Foobar

I've built my own PC twice but I can't be assed this time so I bought a used PC on craigslist for $800. Jesus, it comes with a 4690k, a GTX 980 and other really good parts for the price.

Is buying a used PC okay or am I overlooking something?

as long as everything werks you're fine
the case, cpu and gpu alone are probably worth $800 so nice steal user

it's okay if it's okay

make sure you can return it if something goes wrong. Check gpu for artifacts, stress test CPU, if everything is fine then everything is fine

How do i root a Moto G 5.1?

Alright, thanks a lot. Hope you find some great deals too.

yes but my heatsink fan is going to be tough to install and im too tired for this
should I just put it in the case or back in its antistatic bag?

I've been on Sup Forums and other boards on and off for probably around a decade at this point, so I've ended up missing some of the changes that have happened over time.

Where is the "appropriate" or best place to post ricing related threads?

I can't remember if they used to be mostly on /wg/ or Sup Forums and they seem to be basically nonexistent or just "share screenshots thread" now.

Has that kind of thing just died out here?

As of late my desktop will occasionally not turn on, either not displaying anything and powering off with a single push of the power button or displaying this and refusing to go any further. Any ideas?

you retarded fuck, im not the guy that asked the question, i just pointed out you didnt fucking read his post.

1. it's a fucking monitored computer room
2. it's college property
3. most likely restricted access so you cant install or boot anything else

yes that's fine. remember dont put the mobo on top of the static bag, use the mobo box instead when you're assembling.

XDA forums
run a drive diagnostics with your manufacturer's recommended tool (should be listed on their support page).

it's fine if you can get a good deal, sounds like you did OK.
but you are overlooking the latest generation's features like lower power consumption, gsync, dx12, ddr4, and other small stuff.

>the case, cpu and gpu alone are probably worth $800 so nice steal user
lolno

do you mean showing off your desktop and shit? probably both boards, desktop threads constantly posted here at least, i dont check /wg/ so i dont know.

somebody recommend gentoo in an atom 230 1.6 GHz??

more so discussion, resources, help with customizing the ui of your desktop, browser, etc.

they seem to have devolved into show off threads.

I already put it ontop
fuck

Is it worth to buy asus GTX 980 strix for 315€ = 350$ now or wait later? Replacing my R9 270x and I have already i5-4690k
