not sure whether it's a mobo or gpu (probably mobo) issue but whenever i run a game my screen goes black and my video input is lost
still can hear sound but everything else is unresponsive
i may have updated my bios using msi live update (which is so fucking dumb now that i've realised it)
how do i solve this?
You need to do some troubleshooting. Try a different GPU/PSU/Monitor/OS. If the problem persists it's the mobo and you should replace it.
If I were to take my laptop with me about 1/50 of the times I get out of the house and consistently did image/video editing + develop, would it better to have a Thinkpad (which would need a GPU and maybe SSD and docking station) or would I be better off with a desktop PC? Both is not an option.
she's cute
goddammit
you should consider an HP Elitebook, they're as tough as memepads but they have better GPUs.
I want to command that extracts an archive into a folder named after the archive if and only if it contains more than 1 file or folder. Anybody knows hot to do that? (On linux, and if possible it should work for all archives extensions, priority to zip/rar/7z)
Is it just me or is mega.nz slow right now? Not only the download speed but it also seems to be reconnecting a lot and shit. How do I fix this? Don't have any problems with smaller files, but anything above 100+MB
that's a he.
I'm going to get €500 soon, but the catch is that i can only spend them on books.
What books does Sup Forums recommend?
Both manuals or just nice things to read.
I was talking with one of my friend about recovering an old bloated with shit laptop of one of our normie friends, so I just said format it and reinstall the OS but he said that formatting wasn't enough because the viruses may revive themselves somehow (???) since the data is still recoverable after a simple formatting. Is that right?
Is it normal to get mouse and keyboard lag after some time has passed after booting? I'm using noobuntu btw.
Technically the data is still on the drive after a quick format but you would have to intentionally recover the files, the malware isn't going to resurrect itself (unless you're lucky enough to be targeted by a 3 letter agency firmware virus in which case you're fucked either way)
My computer recently started going into a boot loop. It would reboot every time I got to a UEFI dual boot screen. Reseated all the parts, reset the Cmos and replaced the PSU until I can RMA my old one and it was working for a little bit until it started doing it again. Any ideas?
Recommend me an alternative to IDM please.
It's being a jew and asking for a key, and it's becoming annoying.
just run the archivers file listing argument, if you get more than a one line result, extract to a new folder
Where can I learn how compiling stuff on Linux works? I want the latest version of gcc and I'd have to compile it myself. I'm sure I could find a step-by-step guide, but I want to really understand the compilation tools/process.
Except it's not.
No
SICP
Why the fuck someone would give you this much money for books? Are they expecting you to buy a library? Or a bunch of limited-print humanities monographies?
Buying a 1440p 144hz monitor.Which one is better,Acer or Asus?
free download manager
Why can you only spend them on books?
Asus, but you're falling for a meme
you could have a faulty drive. Run tests.
head phones started creating small audible pop sounds. quick check all around thought to turn off ion filter toggle with air purifier, which is standing on opposite sides of desk from headphone/computer.
read an amazon review about ion filter air purifiers interfering with nearby electronics. air purifer is a most recent addition to work station. whats up?
yeah I know how that, my issue is writing it in bash.
like what should I put in ??? to get this working?
if [??? -gt "1" ]
then
file-roller -h "$f"
else
a="${f%.*}"
mkdir "$a"
file-roller -e "$a" "$f"
fi
I'm pretty ignorant of bash, plz no bully
I got a cooler master evo 212 for my cpu and its sitting at like, low to mid 40s idle
How do I get it to drop more?
What gpu should i buy Sup Forums. I want to spend around 200 gbp, currently a tossup between rx480 and a 1060. For some reason the rx 480 is just overpriced here..
So how can I fix it?
set fan speed to max
looks like file-roller doesn't have an option to list archive contents
perhaps an alternative is to extract it to a temporary hidden folder, then move it based on how many things are in it
like say;
tempfolder=$(mktemp -d .extractXXXXXX)
if [ $(du "$tempfolder" | wc -l) == 1 ]; then
# there's only one thing in the extract folder
shopt -s dotglob # without this, it won't move a single hidden file/folder
mv "$tempfolder/*" $destination # change destination to suit
rmdir "$tempfolder" # remember to clean up when you're done
else
# there's multiple things in the extract folder
mv "$tempfolder" "$newfolder" # instead of making a new folder and moving the things over, just rename the temp folder for the same result
fi
untested, but should give you a headstart
For tar files:
tar -tf filename.tar | wc -l
For formats that aren't handled by tar, figure it out, then test for file type and use the correct command based on that. Do you know what a man page is?
Also keep in mind this is potentially dangerous, especially with tar files. Be sure you know what you're extracting.
thanks a lot dude, I was reading through shopt explanation... which for some reason has no manpage on ubuntu.
what is the danger with tar files?
I'm currently on ubuntu 16.04. Say if I wanted to install the KDE plasma desktop, should I? I keep hearing folks have trouble and it making their installs unstable.
How the fuck do I RSS my weeb shit in Tixati
If you want to compile something, google "gcc getting started".
If you want to learn how compilers actually work, hope you have some free time. Start with a textbook on the theory of compiler design, then look at the docs bundled with the gcc source: gcc.gnu.org

My gf installed it without any issue on 16.04. It's fairly heavy so don't do it on a toaster.
Reposting from last thread:
I have a problem with my router. I have a Netgear WNR-2000 running DD-WRT.
After a while of using the internet, a wirelessly connected device is suddenly unable to resolve any hostnames - lan and wan are both affected.
The affected device says it is connected, but is unable to resolve any hostnames, cannot ping anything locally or on the internet. If the affected device disconnects and reconnects, all is well for a while.
This happens on many different hardware/OS combinations - Windows 8/10, Android, BlackBerry OS, Xbox One, and Linux Mint 17 - all are fully up-to-date.
The router is using WPA2-AES, MAC filtering, and QoS controls. Are there too many services running for the router to handle? I live in a rural area - only 2 other networks are in range and then just barely, so I doubt its interference. Wired devices are unaffected and work flawlessly.
If you don't know of a way to fix it or my router is toast, can you recommend a new router? This is what I require:
802.11n minimum, ac is nice but not necessary.
>=4 100Mbps lan ports, gigabit is nice, but not necessary
Able to resolve local machine names - ie 'ssh foo@mediaserver' rather than 'ssh [email protected]'
QoS controls - I should be able to prioritize traffic based on protocol.
Able to disable WPS
fyi those are from different people
would require writing one for several different tools to handle the various formats, and ultimately isn't as efficient, as you'd be reading the file once to list files, then again to extract
You can have multiple des installed and choose which one you want at login.
Install it and try it. If you don't like it remove it
yeah I know. I was slowly processing everything but wanted to answer fast...
I did bug when thinking "why would he give me an answer that is format specific after an answer that works for all formats?"
especially when the issue was precisely the different formats; if everything was zip it would have been straightforward.
thanks for bestowing your knowledge. This is a clever solution.

whats so bad about this? can i switch out the ssd for an hdd? or do i have to save my shit to a usb stick? also, if i can swap hard drives, can i install windows on it or is it forever chromeos?
Alright, so I have an ASUS Xonar DG soundcard, and I've plugged a toslink from my DAC into it, and my headset into it.
It now plays from both sources. How to fix?
I didn't want to make a full thread for this but anybody using brackets? I am going to try it out this month and wanted to see what others experiences are with it.
>that price
>celeron
all of my nope
its just going to be used for Sup Forums, youtube, porn, ect. still a bad option? i have an acer es1-511 but i dont know much about computers and if i take it to a repair place they'll rip my ass off. im almost certain its the mobo. i opened her up, took out the battery, tried putting on a new bios from acer. i still have no display on this thing, so i was thinking about just getting a shitty new laptop.
I uninstalled dnscrypt and unbound, now I can't make dns requests on that computer. What do?
look at neweggs refurbished selection, for the same price as that chromebook you could get something with an i7, 4 jiggerbits of ram and at least a 500 jiggerbit hdd
anything slower than a i3/A8 is not worth looking, no matter what you're planning to do with it
can you please recommend me a bloatfree music player for android and a free antivirus for my windows 8 pc?
doesn't matter, would bang.
pls g what do u know about ion filters + electronics
Is it "Matoi Ryuuko" or "Matoi Ryuko"?
Taking an introductory course in IT and we just started with Boolean algebra and logic gates. I understand how they work but I'm not quite sure how to write it out.
For example, I have a question that goes like this:Evaluate the boolean expressions: a) 1010
Now this should come out as false, right? What I don't know is how I'm supposed to write this down.
How do I enforce the following:
uint16_t = (high
Probably step by step.
false V false
false
It's called algebra for a reason. You do it like you would do algebra.
The chinkphone I bought has a anti glare coating on its screen. How do I remove it?
Hoy can I recognize the Linux partitions on Windows for delete all and only left Windows on my Pc?
PD:sorry for my english
I have the new Xbox One controller hooked up to my computer over bluetooth. It works just fine over bluetooth, but I don't know how to get audio play through the headphone jack on the controller. Is it even possible over bluetooth?
Does AdAway stop official CM from updating?
>Mfw this captcha
Ok, still messing about with boolean algebra and there is a bonus task:
(distance > 0 & time > 0) V (distance > 0 & time < 100)
Apparently I can use this formula for solving this:
a & (b V c) = (a & b) V (a & c)
a V (b & c) = (a V b) & (a V c)
Where do I begin?
Are you in middle school?
What kind of shitty high school doesn't teach this?
There is a disk partitioning tool in windows, you should be able to format any partition and add the free space to your current windows partition.
Windows will not tell you it is a linux partition, but tag it as unknown

>GPU has single dual-link DVI-D, 2x DP, 1x HDMI

What adapter should I use for the other display? Female single or dual-link? Male DP? Male HDMI?
I have a speakers left from the old stereo system. I want to put them in practice but don't have any specs. What type of amplifier should I buy for them?
...
I have almost the same, same brand, same size, about the same age, i'd guess, also 6 ohm. I run them with a Teac 120W amp that's also about that old I guess. It works fine as long as i dont turn the volume up too high, i'd probably blow them right away
I accidentally put my crt tv next to guitar amplifier and now i have discoloration. Is it fixable?
So i bought a 1070 but I still have a 1080p monitor
Got 3 options
25" 1440p at 60hz
27"1440p at 144
34" ultrawide at 60 hz
I only play Titanfall 2 and Gears 4 and maybe Halo wars 2
If a few new workstations are added to an existing LAN and now everyone is complaining about bad performance, what could be the cause?
How many links would you need in a full mesh configuration if you had 4 nodes?
4?
Thank you for your answer. I found online ad with same speakers and it's said that maximum output is 50 watts. From that point 120 watts seems to be too powerful.
Where are some good cosplay porn with cute girls like the ones in OP?
The ones on pornhub and the typical JAV shits are ugly.
Are there rare QT cosplay porn vids?
27 1440p 144hz
Also, why not GSync?
Forgot to add Gsync to the list, the 27" I´m considering is the ROG Swift
Get that. With GSync if your card can't do full 144fps, it will compensate properly.
Thanks m8
I'm building a network for a medium sized business. The main source of network traffic is going to be ~40 VoIP connections. When buying a firewall, should I focus on raw throughput or throughput of the NGFW parameters (IPS etc)?
If a mobo has 4 RAM slots but only supports up to 8GB RAM, should I:
Grab an 8GB stick and shove it in there while gutting the rest?
Grab two 4GB sticks?
Grab four 2GB sticks?
Help Sup Forums,
I want to install something on my second drive, but the installer keeps redirecting to C:.
What the fuck's wrong with it?
Whatever's cheapest for you.
Given that mobo only has 8 GB limit, its way past its EOL. So wasting more money is, well, wasting.
Is there a workaround to make a computer boot from a PCIe to SATA adapter if the motherboard doesn't support it?
Would installing a bootloader on a drive attached to the motherboard and making it load the OS from the PCIe drive help?
Since umatrix has https-strict: * true set as the default, Is there any reason to keep https everywhere or is it just overkill?
>TL;DR
best VNC client/server or some alternative?
can pirate if need be
two windows PC on LAN, one needs to occasionally check stuff on the other
not windows pro so cant RDP
tried two VNC solutions so far, at home in testing enviroment
tigerVNC - very slow movement display on the screen
ultraVNC - better but still looking maybe for something really fast
we are talking lan here, not going over internet, I feel like shit should be almost indistinguishable from real deal of sitting in front of a pc
I'm retarded and never used Python so excuse me.
I'm trying to move my leddit account settings to another one, and found this github.com
I installed Python and Praw, but I'm not sure what to do from here, help me out lads.
Thats my thought, but I don't know much about bootloaders supporting that capability. Maybe grub or some other has a work around, do more research on that subject.
Okay, so I got one of those ISP letters about torrenting a TV show, copyright infringement and such
First time, how serious are these?
Also, if I want to continue torrenting what are my options? Is VPN the way to go?
Bump
I have 7-8 of them in my comcast mail.
Ignore it. Find alternative torrent trackers or download other shits
depends on what they say in the letter
try /r/legaladvice dont forget location
or /r/pirating
>Also, if I want to continue torrenting what are my options? Is VPN the way to go?
probably, most comfortable...
there are also share sites, you can download from mega, rapidshare and such from forums and release sites..
