How do I manage my passwords more efficiently?

keepass

What about important ones like, Email or Normiebook?

I wanna pare down and organize my data so I can wipe one of my drives and reinstall windows on it just because spring cleaning.

Can I move most program files to another directory and just move them back and still have them work, or will I have to actually re-install most things? I don't use much other than Firefox, Steam, or vidya gaems.

Also, I have a ton of porn and reaction images and other images all just saved to my downloads folder without any organization because I just don't care whether I live or die. But it's getting hard to find what I want. What's a good image cataloguing system? Would it be worth it to get a copy of whatever the various ___boorus run to keep on my local machine just for sifting through my reaction images by tags?

Making my first PC. (New thread.)

1) Should I put a CD drive in my new rig?
2) I should be able to remove a couple year old CD drive from my current desktop and put it in the new one right? It won't be like permanently bolted there in or something?

What's the best password manager?

become smarter

>CD drive
I'm assuming you meant optical drive, prolly DVD.

Yes, assuming it's a standard desktop PC. You can show pics of the drive and that way we'll give a proper answer.

2 questions:
Best fan-controller
For 2 120mm fans in front and one 140 in back, how should the push-pull setup be?

(also posted in pcbg)

thank you.

How can I know if a Sup Forums thread has reached bump limit? Is there any 'label' or such? Of course I could try to comment and check if bumped, just asking if there's another way.

OS?

Look at the numbers near the bottom-right of the page. The post count (on the far left, usually the largest number) will go from normal script to being in italics.

Pretty much everything north of a portable exe is going to have to be reinstalled. But steam's backup feature is great, saves a ton of time.

Cd/dvd drives aren't used as much these days, and you can copy most things over on another computer if you really need to. If the connection on the back of your cd drive looks the same as the one on your hard drive you shouldn't have any problem attaching it.

Anyone know how I can set a .desktop file to be my default application? I'm running Ubuntu.

I compiled this media player here: github.com/cmdrkotori/mpc-qt

My PC restarts 1 time before booting completely, it boots eventually though. Is that a problem?

ubuntu 14.04 yes

Check your HDDs, especially if you have an older one.

Have you run Startup Repair?

Is R a good language to get into for quant finance or financial research? Are there any better, more recent languages that are in more demand for data science?

(checked) (satan)

I'm actually reinstalling Windows user, but no, I hadn't run it before.

It's from around 2013, 3TB. S.M.A.R.T. doesn't recognize an error though.

amazon.com/InnoGear-Condenser-Microphone-Recording-Equipment/dp/B00KAPGLQC/

Is there any possibility of finding an EU plug for this?
I've tried to find some but all I've found is just other companies selling the same product with only their brand.

R is pretty in-demand in bioinformatics, from what I hear. Most of my friends who work in quant. finance are pure math majors though.

Thank you!
Got another question: who reposts threads like /sqt/ once they reach bump limit? Let's say, the first user who notices that thread reached bump limit can repost it? Or is it done by moderators?

anyone

Not that I care about questions like these but does /qa/ have their own /sqt/?

So, for various reasons, i need to backup my phone, android version and everything. Do i just copy and paste everything into a folder, or is there some special shit i need to do? Got a rooted Zenfone 2 if it matters.

How to deal with fucked up screws?

>Must remove screen to fully disassemble computer
What the fuck HP.

If a laptop leds dont are working, and not turning on with a fully working charger it means the power jack is kill right?

What is a good amount of time to set before my desktop goes into sleep/hibernate? What impact is had if I were to set hibernate after 1 hour or 6 hours?

literally doesn't matter for HDDs.
For SSD's you shouldn't use hibernate at all.

The only thing is I can't see that difference in font style when using Clover, meh.

Thanks m8

>who reposts threads like /sqt/ once they reach bump limit?
whoever cares. usually it's only a couple people who do, and they won't post it at the same time, so one will notice that someone else has beaten them to the punch.

in /vg/, it frequently becomes a pissing match over who can post the new thread first.

Seems legit on /vg/ haha.

When does the Logitech G Pro even come out? I have no idea even though I got one on preorder.

Bots, people who want attention, someone who had a question the last thread and it hit the bump limit, the usual people, etc.

i want to reset my kaspersky trial, and i'm too lazy to run all types of keygens in vmware.
how do i manually reset this besides deleting files in regedit and changing mac-address?

Install malwarebytes.

Isn't that what aids is?

I forgot what software I used for windows that allowed me to view thumbnails for a long list of extensions.
What software should I use so I can see thumbnails for webms and such?

(Firefox)

I've deleted cookies from every domain I don't care about, what addon/setting should I use to set a whitelist of just these domains? (And then I'll expand it in the future as needed, hopefully easily)

>wanking
>as low tech as that may sound, I'm looking stuff up on Google
>see thumbnail I'm interested in
>click
>doesn't load, still at thumbnail resolution but scaled up
>click to see image on the site
>blah blah something something this website is blocked because it distributes CP
realistically, how fucked am I?
(and no, the pic I clicked on was visibly not CP)

not at all fucked

The fuck? Does my ISP (MosNet) want to MITM my "enhanced steam" firefox addon?

is this a thread for stupid questions? pls answer

>hdd failed, first partition only registered as RAW
>Decide to restore data, doesn't go further than 3%. If I stop, it can't build with dictionary
>Say fuck it, formate the whole thing
>Reboot to test things
>Now I have the same problem with the second partition, but it goes up to 48% for the restoration. Nevertheless, I don't have any faith in it.
Using EaseUp at the moment. Is there a better tool to keep my stuff? I could afford the first partition, but this one I wanna keep. Any ideas?

recover data from dying disks: u need testdisk & photorec.

How do I deal with packages that require old libraries in arch linux?
Dolphin 5.0 simply won't work with bluetooth wiimote so I need to use Dolphin 4.0.2 which needs a bunch of older libraries

no, you're looking for top-level posts on Sup Forums

A friend JUST got hacked a few hours ago (pic related) and the hacker is asking for 1.24 bit coins wich of course my friend doesn't have. What do?

Best gpu to pair with a fx 8320e overclock.

Format and restore from backup.

He does have a backup, right?

No...he doesn't have one

For some reason over the last few days my windows key on my keyboard has stopped responding to bring my start menu up unless I tap it a few times. A reboot fixes it but then it happens again not long after.

Did a windows update fuck it up or something?

he fuckd lol

Is LastPass the best password manager there is?

So it's that it? He's fucked and there's nothing he can do about it?

Best fan controller is your motherboard.

Balance the speeds so you have slightly positive internal pressure to make fan filters work better.

Depends if you have CDs to use. Otherwise it's pretty optional nowadays.
Also if it's pretty old it will have a IDE connector instead of a SATA one but you can convert IDE to SATA with an adapter if you really need to. Or you can just buy a new drive, it's not expensive at all.

Do a search on google how to remove cryptolockers or ransomware. I can't post links because 4chins thinks it's spam. Sometimes you can take advantage of their shitty coding and it can be broken.

It's not guaranteed though so you will probably have to end up formatting or paying. Make backups next time.

I'm not sure what the fuck happened but a few months ago I unlocked my android bootloader (it was allowed) and rooted my phone and installed a custom rom and everything was great.

A few days ago I realised supersu was gone and obviously this was strange so I decided to reinstall it from the play store except it kept crashing when I tried to open it so I checked to see if my phone was still rooted which it wasn't and then I checked my phone info by doing the *#*#(numbers) in the dialler and it turned out that my bootloader was now locked and it stated it couldn't be unlocked anymore (bootloader unlock allowed: no, but originally it was yes when I was first rooting). I haven't installed any stock updates or anything so what the fuck happened?

I installed a new CPU fan today. When I put my shit back together it turned on a for a spilt second then turned off. I noticed I didn't have my 4pin CPU plug in. Once I plugged it in the computer wouldn't turn on at all. I unplugged everything and replugged everything back in and even tried booting it with just the fan, CPU connector and 24 pin connector and it still won't bootup. What the fuck do I do?

this, how is it not possible to remember 24 series of numbers and letters, jesus fuck.

There may be ways to recover some data, see here icm2012.org/decrypt-my-files.htm, for the stuff that's encrypted and you can't find any other copies, it's gone unless you pay the ransom.

take out the cpu and see if you bent any of the pins

NSA

Sounds like you have shorted your motherboard (hopefully not) or something, maybe try removing the cmos and then putting it back in?

My CPU is an Intel Pentium G3258. It doesn't have any pins.
I'll try that.

i ve been trying distros and OS in my notebook for a while, and now i ve been having trouble setting up a dual boot.
i was looking though stuff, and i something strange in my boot device menu: it lists the usual HDDs, DVDs, USBs etc, but it also lists stuff from the distros i used like "openSUSE secureboot", "Fedora" and "Manjaro", and i think that may be screwing my boot.
how do i remove this? i already used dban on the HD, installed and unninstalled OSs, and it continues to show up. wtf?

Alright, thanks a lot. I wasn't even aware about these kind of attacks. My friend said that his sister(17yo) was browsing facebook then that popped on the screen.
Again, thanks user.

Best friendly torrent client for Windows? Used Transmission but it craps out under very large torrents. QBit or Deluge pretty much on table now.

kazaa

those are entries in EFI. rattle around in your BIOS settings for a while, you should spot them.

I like qbittorent. Especially since it has it's own torrent search function that allows you to add any site you want.

Either one. I use deluge but there's nothing wrong with qBit either.

>My friend said that his sister(17yo) was browsing facebook
There's your problem.

He has .cerber3 files on his end, so it looks like he's just gonna have to format and suck it up.

Why does it make a woman hotter when you learn she just had a baby?

Have I betrayed you all now that it appears I like Windows 10 more than any Linux?

It didn't work. Any other suggestions?

can heavy vaping hurt your pc hardware?

Does the M.2 slot on a motherboard share bandwidth with a SATA Express port or a PCI-E slot? Is it the same speed as PCI-E?

i tried looking around and found nothing about it
i also i just now installed manjaro using the 'erase entire disk' and im stuck on "Welcome to GRUB!" screen

Where is another sound levels?

nobody really cares faggot, if you want to fuck yourself over, go ahead.

check the power button connector on your mother board, make sure it's connected, you may have accidentally pulled it out

try a different plug wall outlet too

L/R Channels are at the end of the slider, If you want 5.1 audio or some shit, I don't think Windows lets you do that since it recognizes everything as headphones or stereo for some reason.

The fuck you mean, тoвapищ?

Depends on the motherboard and M2 drive. I believe all z170 mobos use PCIe lanes, and yes it does have an insanely high bandwidth maximum

A dude I know got a very original PlayStation 1 in rough shape and he tore it down to see what's wrong with it.
>Pic related
Tell me, what is that?
To me, it looks like some rusty water settled on the bottom and dried. There was obvious rust on the controller ports and on the metal screw hole reinforcements.

that was in a wet disgusting basement somewhere

he's probably not going to get that to work

Whre is shit like PC beep and others?
