How to find peepeepoopoo comics?

So I've got this weird problem. I got a new wireless PCI-E adapter for my desktop a month ago, and I noticed recently that the connection was sort of spotty. Running a ping test to my router, I noticed that the ping was spiking about every 10 seconds, a problem that I wasn't able to replicate on my laptop.

I assumed it was a hardware issue, and bought a cheap Belkin USB wifi adapter to see if the problem was solved. Lo and behold, my connection got even WORSE with this shitty adapter, and I was still being disconnected every few seconds. I was about to dismiss it as bad luck with hardware until I booted into safe mode with networking, ran the same tests and found that the problem basically disappeared.

So now I'm certain that there's some sort of software issue that's causing my regular disconnects/ping spikes. How can I find the service or process that's causing this problem, or otherwise diagnose this issue?

Driver problem.
If it comes with a driver uninstall it and let it use windows one.
Use 3DPNetwork to update it.

That's what I expected, but I've installed and uninstalled this pci-e driver what feels like 100 times now. It's an Atheros AR9380, which I learned when I had to switch from the shitty outdated Rosewill drivers.

Plus, the USB adapter I'm also testing with uses a totally different set of drivers, and it has the same problem with ping spikes that disappears when I go into safe mode.

Windows version?

Just looking at that box gave me a stomachache.

I'm a noob who has only gone through a few programming tutorials and some of sicp.

1. What are some good beginner projects other than 2D vidya? How much real world programming before I feel like I know what I'm doing?

2. Is Phaser a good JavaScript 2D game library?

3. Why is it that most discussion about programming projects sound like programming for the sake of programming rather than programming to do stuff? People always talk about a compiler to do X or a library for Y. They rarely talk about making something.

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1

Couldn't tell you which update I last installed because I need to start the service again [spoiler]basically turned update off while the whole win10 upgrade scare was going on[/spoiler]

Try messing with your router wireless settings.
I still recommend you to try 3DP Network.

I have a T420 ThinkPad with a 2nd gen Intel i5 vPro processor I'd like to replace with a 4th gen i7 processor (without vPro), that I extracted from my old HP laptop. While the fan normally starts to cool the system, the screen remains black and I can power off the computer by pressing the power button for one second or so.

It seems I'm stuck in the BIOS. Can I fix my BIOS to work with the i7 processor (e.g., by disabling some options) and if not, how much should I sell this processor?

Thanks.

What is a binder class? Setting up a service with C#

Ah, wrong place to ask? Sorry. >:

Not exactly but there are guides for it.
Just go for a popular cheap wacom tablet.

Ask for opinions on drawthread threads on Sup Forums or Sup Forums.

Okay, thanks!

Installing drivers with 3DP Net did not solve the problem. I am convinced there is something running in the background that is killing my connection - I just don't know how to find out what it is.

Starting today, when my computer does anything that would require the GPU fans to spin, the computer shuts down and then resets itself.

What do I do? All I did today in regards to my video card was unplug and plug back in my monitor, and that isn't the issue because im typing from this computer now; it's only an issue when I do anything labor intensive.

Needs better PSU?

I have a Gigabyte GeForce 1060 GTX Windforce, the outputs on it are a DisplayPort, HDMI and 2 DVI-I.

Can I use the DisplayPort and HDMI simultaneously or must I use the DVI outputs if I want more than one monitor?

some temperature sensor registers too high temps and shuts down the pc, check if all fans are spinning, try using the pc without gpu

Why is my computer's performance in games such shit? I see people in videos running rigs worse than mine, and they get better performance. Am I missing drivers or some shit?

Wats a tecnalogy?

system on chip, SoC

can i get some game reccs for Android.

Make sure you're using AMD proprietary drivers (fglrx) and have your monitor plugged into the 280x.

The radeonhd drivers are shit these days

Is there a processor-quick way to convert an 8 bit or 16 bit unsigned integer into a string representation?

As I'm using an old processor I have no multiplication nor division or moduloes.

Pic for no reason at all.

How about BCD

Integrated graphics, m8.
That image was just for reference, but I'm typically running games in Windows. Even on games like Naruto Ninja Storm 3, I'm not getting anything close to the FPS I should be getting. I'll make that switch, though.

New to smart phones because I'm an old fart.

Why would Google play services be eating up so much battery all the time? It's at the top of the list almost every day, in this screenshot I'd watched almost two hours of YouTube videos and played 10 minutes of a game, yet still it really tired YouTube. A search shoes a lot of people have this issue but I didn't find any good solutions.

It's it possible this isn't accurate?

Refurbished vs Open-Box?

I goofed and didn't buy a new motherboard during the holidays, and now proper motherboard are out of my price range.

Normally I would buy from either Micro Center or Amazon, but considering Newegg's distribution center is about an hour away from me, I wouldn't be opposed to buying from Newegg for the fast shipping.

I just got a new computer built today and I'm having trouble installing Windows 7 onto it. I am attempting to install it from a usb that I put an ISO on. I can boot it, and I get to the point where is seems like it will install, but I get the error "A required CD/DVD driver is missing." I googled the error and the only solution I had found was to try moving it to a different USB port, I tried that and still got the error.

I thought that the problem might be with the USB, so I instead took an old external disk drive and copy of Windows Vista, and thought I would install that, and then Install Windows 7 from there, but just before the installation, I got the same "A required CD/DVD driver is missing."

I can't think of any solutions, but I think the problem my be that I still have an old install of windows on my hard drive, but when I unpluged my hard drive so its just the USB or external disk drive and my SSD, which I want it to be on, I still get the error. Any ideas?

why are there no good cheap 775 motherboards? i have core 2 quads that need overclocking but i'm not paying near a hundred dollars for a 7 year old motherboard.

You were putting the iso file inside a filesystem on the boot drive. You need to image it to the USB with something like dd

sudo dd if=win7.iso of=/dev/sdb (or whatever the usb drive is)

If that fails, try unetbootin

Could you elaborate? Not trying to be a dick, this is my first full on PC build

What do you call those things that fit onto the side of hard disks and allow you to slot them into a bracket?
Rails? I can't find any on amazon.

Is there really that much of a difference between a tv and a monitor? Because I can get a 4k tv for substantially cheaper than a monitor.

Caddy?

monitors have much lower input latency, there are probably other differences but I'm not familiar with them

response time would be the main difference

Trays?

Latency and Response time are huge.
Monitor :Less than 5ms.
TV: 20-60ms.

Also Quality, Colors and the stand features.

These things.
Also are they universal or will the only fit certain cases?

Hey niggers I sold my laptop for $300 and should I buy a 2007-2008 MacBook Pro 17 for $200? It's got no charger and f11 key is pop off and settling on the keyboard but it looks in good condition? Should I spend $200 and spend the rest on upgrading it? I plan putting Linux on it and Windows 10 in dual boot if I get it. Should I get or save my money for next rig?

So this image of a girl waving a dildo leaks, and it comes to my attention that a demo of a game I own actually has all the data for the full version of the game.

So I rip a bunch of data from my Vita, dump the weird Vita Image files with Maidump, and now I have a bunch of PKCS7 SCP files.

"SPC", I think, that's Spectrum File Format. Nah, it ain't. It's Raster Image Files in a bizarre compression form. The leaker acts like if I figure out how to reverse the compression I can get the image, but I managed to get and decode the PCKS7 certificate.

What do I do from here?

These Stand_whatever_019.SPC files have the images I'm looking for, but I don't know how or where to go from here. Any ideas? I have tons more info I can share, if you're interested

You're dumb and are just seeking validation for your dumbass decisions. So get that crusty old Macbook that can't even display current websites.

How do you describe the sound of coil whine?

Use Nvidia Inspector to limit framerate in amateur games that don't do it automatically.

get a thinkpad

>So get that crusty old Macbook that can't even display current websites.
>1920x1200 is crusty

It doesn't have the processing power and RAM needed for all that javascript and html5 fuckery. You're obviously not the kind of person who browses with NoScript.

is there anything like a cheat sheet for a beginner programmer (in java)?

i keep forgetting really basic things and have to consult a different program to remember them

like I said I could to upgrade up to 6gb of ram and hard drive is easily upgradable too and Linux disbro like mint, arch, Gentoo is lightweigh in OS terms

Get a superior thinkpad for half as much money. I bought a T410 and a T500 for $100 each

How about a t420 or a x61? Or how about the new 2017 thinkpads?

I built a machine with a 6700k Skylake CPU last year. Do you think it's worth it to upgrade to the 7700k? I'm kinda annoyed that I bought one of the best desktop CPUs (I'm not counting Xeons) and it's already being replaced by Intel with something newer.

Not yet. You still have the third best CPU for per-thread performance.

cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html

Nope absolutely freaking not do not buy the shitty 7700k unless you have a shitty old computer and planning to build a new rig. it just a very slightly better 6700k with a few new features and that's it

Getting a new HDD tomorrow. Current one is on it's last legs and I can't find my Sup Forums approved copy of Win7 from roughly 5 years ago.

Does anybody know where I can torrent or FTP one that's not bloated af?

If you're going from one i7 to another, wait at least 2 generations

does anyone here use ungoogled-chromium on windows?

i am having trouble setting it as my default browser. i set it in the settings but links from steam, skype, etc still open in firefox

please

Are you installing to a skylake processor?

Did you set it under default programs?

no, it doesn't show up in the default programs because it was something that i just unzipped to a directory and started using

shouldn't it have this feature even if it is a portable version?

forgot the attachment

it's there bud, it just won't do anything when i click the button

I just found an old HDD of mine that has an OEM windows 7 installation on it. The problem is that it's full of malware, is it still safe to connect to my computer, and is it possible to get the windows key(or whatever) from it so i can install windows 7 on another computer?

My mobo died and I have a fx-8300, should I just replace the mobo?
Or go intel because am3+ is a dead socket and intel is better for gaming anyways.

If I decide to go with the new chip what is a good chip+mobo for

run as admin then try again

defaultprogramseditor.com/

same thing

There are tools you could use to try and extract the activation, but if it's OEM it's probably gonna deactivate immediately anyway. Probably need to use daz or buy a cheap key

doesn't work, i change all the file assosciations but any link sent to me in an external program like steam still opens in firefox

Ah ok, thank you. And what about connecting the hard drive to my computer? There might be some files I want from it.

My mic fucked up today out of nowhere, it's recognized by windows control panel and discord, but not skype or muh gamez. I can't figure out why some programs aren't getting input, they're set to the right input jack but no sound. Mic is an Astro A40 (inb4 >muh gaymen headset, shit's comfy) Anyone know why this could be?

What's the deal with the "special offers" on kindle fires?

only asking because i want the orange one but apparently i can't get it without ads

Use rufus to put a ubuntu .iso into a USB stick and boot from it. Copy the files to another USB stick, boot back to your main OS and scan the files before moving them to your main hard drive.

If you want to boot from that drive disconnect all other hard drives first.

Go for a 1151 if you can afford it. As you said AM3 is dead and you don't want to sink any money into outdated tech like that.

get the files then wipe that shit clean and reinstall wintoo

Google chrome now says secure next to the lock icon when using HTTPS. Is there a way to make it not say that. The lock icon was good enough and this change bothers my autism.

would it be a bad idea to print a color picture if i'm low on black ink?

How much is it worth?

Sorry for the late reply, yes, an i5 6600k

Does Sup Forums use/recommend any software for organizing and managing their time? I was looking for something with all the advantages of Google Keep/Calendar (Calendar, event planning, note taking etc) without the disadvantages (being google)

I've been using org-mode for a few years. I couldn't find anything else libre that handles repeating tasks all the ways I need.

>you don't want to sink any money into outdated tech like that.

u wot m8? do you know where you're fucking at right now???

putting money into older computer systems is exactly what we do at Sup Forums

How are the Intel Skull Canyon NUC devices? Could I reasonably run MATLAB on one?

Its a quad core laptop cpu, so it won't be the fastest thing but it won't make you want to kill yourself
