Anybody else get headaches after listening to too much music?

your volume is too loud or the song you're listening to has been mastered incorrectly and raised everything too high

only if it's heavily compressed (as in dynamic range compression, not lossy data compression)

Is there a software that would delete bad sectors on HDD, to disable those from being used?

I installed my cpu cooler upside down because cable was bit short from other side, will it fuck up with something? the cooler is just pic related style the name is on logo is upside down

yes, any dedicated disk surface testing software

This is a /sqt/, so can you be a bit more specific, please?

wont hurt anything, just be less effective. but you could have just twisted it around....

if you get headaches it means you don't listen to music enough

How shitty are Intel Celeron laptops? Is it worth getting an i3 one instead?

Please point me in a Direction where I can learn this?
Thank you

no. sell your old and buy a single better card

what could i get for about $200 then (aud). Is crossfire really that bad?

Crossfire/SLI has never been perfect, lots of people get microstutter and some games dont scale very well.

Check the RX470 or RX480. Alternatively a 390X. Should be about 40-50% faster (around 30% with a 470).

Tho your card is still fairly good, I'd wait until summer and see what gets released, that lets you save up some more money aswell.

If you want you could just try getting that second card and try crossfire, and if the result is not good you can sell both cards and upgrade.

not him but: Victoria

So I have a cron job that runs a Python script

The job runs successfully, but every time the job runs, I get the following error in /var/mail/[myusername]:
sh: sysctl: command not found


What does this mean? Even though the program runs as expected, I don't know why the error is being raised
The following is my crontab:
46 11 * * * PYTHONPATH=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ /usr/bin/python2.7 ~/Desktop/python_project/access_politics.py

what do I do with 10 pin I have on my MB power cable?

what?

just letting you know that the 480 costs over $400 here. I guess ill wait, im not really in a rush to buy anything (tho looking to switch to an intel cpu for haxm on windows

i get headache when i don't listen to music for too long

fucking hell. ye second card for crossfire is a valid option then.

Guys


Do I get a gtx 980 ti for $300

Or a gtx 1080 for $500

They're both in excellent condition with box and all, the 1080 still has warranty and was purchased a month ago, I dunno about the 980 to


I know the 980 tis are super expensive right now because of limited supply, so idk if $300 is a good deal

It's for my first build. If Iget the 1080 the total cost for the PC would be around $1000 even

I don't have 4k or 1440, YET. Or VR. But I know the 1080 can handle these quite well.

Which is the better deal?

what's the cheapest way to use paypal money everywhere, like on amazon for example? is payoneer safe? what about paypal debit cards? i get monthly payments in there and i'm tired of only being able to use that money for chink shit on gearbest or ebay

I have an asus p8p67 board with some gpu (hd 6970?, can't check right now), installed void linux on it, but still want to play vidya. Heard of pci passthrough to a windows vm and want to get an extra gpu for my host system. Want to spend as little as possible for a pci.e 2.0 card (x8 slot I think); hd 6450? Hardware should be passthrough capable.

the smaller one

Whats a good budget computer for csgo? Got about 600-700$ budget and running it on low settings.

have you even compared benchmarks?

get the 1080 or even a 1070. there's no reason to get a old generation card for marked up price.

>72 KB, 247x250
please die in a fire

but the big one is 24 pins ye? the other goes here

I also have HD Tune Pro, that's currently scanning the whole disk for errors.

Thanks for your response. But I still don't know what exactly should I do.

I downloaded Victoria, what now?

latest i3 and a rx470 with 8GB ram.

but you should wait until march and see if amd ryzen is good or bad.

logicalincrements

The 980 ti is still pretty powerful though, but you think that's a marked up price?


I'll just get the 1080 then, it's a blower edition which is around $620 + tax new.

I know it's weaker than the SC but it's still overkill plus can be over clocked by myself if it's ever necessary

welp im retard it seems those go into psu and the other end to MB on motherboard
but do I need both 4 pins (4+4) there or is just 4 enough? my cpu has tdp 125w

what region? csgo runs on the worst shit and looks best 4:3 stretched on 1600x800 on a 1366x768 19 inch monitor

using the win32 api in c++

right now i have two functions that save the current console state and reload the saved state.

in between, i am writing a bunch of characters with special attributes to the console using the below functions
WriteConsoleOutputCharacterA
WriteConsoleOutputAttribute

i can't seem to figure out how to save/reload the console state such that these characters won't stay when i reload. what information should i be saving in the save function, and what should information should i be writing in the reload function?

go to "tests" tab, select the "remap" option and hit start

you said yourself it was marked up.
just compare benchmarks.

did you just bend the fucking cable and take a pic of both ends of the same cable? christ man...

yes you should use all pins if your PSU has them. most times it will work with half but it can be unstable and you wont be able to increase clock speed.

>looks best 4:3 stretched
fuck off and KYS

...but before that: maybe try to fix the hdd first

I can't find it.

Is fixing necessary? I'll just use this as an external disk.

its from the vid

>fuck off and KYS
whatever kid, once youre a pro youll realise the benefits of stretched 4:3

next time take a pic yourself

yeah just like that pro player on overpass long corridor not seeing the guy walking passed him cus of 4:3

Sorry, I'm blind.

Thanks for your help.

if you still want to use it, you'll have to fix it

i have a desktop with a 500w power supply that i'm pretty sure is the source of an annoying high pitched whine coming through my speakers

is there any way besides a wattage meter i can tell if it would be possible to switch to a 350w (it's just what i happen to have sitting around at the moment)?

what would happen if i were to swap it out and it wasnt enough, would it fuck anything up or just give me an error message or something

fixing is not a hard thing to do and it might help
but it's your choice

How to fix it?

Recommend me good websites or videos or whatever sources to learn HTML. Bonus points for a collection of links or something like that.
I want to get into programming but I think I'd better learn HTML first.

NO

codeacademy, mit/harvard free online courses

I use hard disk sentinel for HDD testing, it has some good tests (read only, write, read-write-read (refresh), reinitialize). Tests are locked behind a paid version, so you might wanna grab a crack from piratebay.

I was fapping and an ad got through. It said "choose the girl you want" and had pictures of 3 girls. I closed it immediately. What are the chance it was a drive by? Do I have a virus now? I'm very careful not to visit sketchy websites. This is my first ad I've seen in months.

Probably nothing to worry about. Ads on porn sites are getting way too sneaky.

how am i supposed to watch even 5 movies a month with only 10 or 15 gb a data a month? thats ridiculous i could use that in an hour!

Does GPU needs to have Analog/Digital DVI-I to work with DVI-VGA adapter, or will it work with DVI-D?

ok ive had it. im tired of being cheap. i have the money ill just pay it. $50 unlimited data.

watch them in 144p

good goy

if you want analog signal, DVI-I is the only HQ option

Good answers. Brickwalled waveforms make my eardrums actually thump in protest.

What's the Sup Forums approved way of activating Windows 8.1?

where do i torrent/downlaod podcasts?

a simple/cheap pin adapter will only work in a DVI-A (analog only) or DVI-I (digital and analog) port, DVI-D is digital only, so to get VGA from it requires a more expensive convertor box

On Ubuntu there is no other way to get thumbnails in the file picker other than installing KDE?

How come such a basic feature is not supported out of the box?

I accidentally deleted sudo and apt-get.
But when I 'sudo apt-get install sudo apt-get'
I get 'command not found' error.
Wat do?

people give up on their hard drives so easily these days...

>disk sentinel

download repos and install manually?

Now I see that you also can't delete files from the filepicker. What the fuck, I' seriously considering going back to wincucks

All over the internet. Or itunes. Or with a program like miro. Podcatchers make it easier, although the good ones are really only for moblile.

gnome devs.

A little better than dialup

Any recommended courses for networking?

You didn't even chuckle, did you?

ty so no youtube porn, even hardly Sup Forums

The ti is getting outrun by cards two teirs under it. Do NOT get a last gen card unless it is ridiculously cheap

>he will never thow the fun of downloading a 800MB movie on dial-up

I literally just reformatted. I installed firefox, noscript, greasemonkey, appchanx, adblockplus, visual studio 2015, steam, notepad++, league of legends, hexchat, MPC-HC, CCCP, Syncplay, SPV, Libre Office, OBS, DLnow, ShareX, Origin, 7zip, EVE Online, and Ventrilo.

I haven't looked at any porn on this PC. How the fuck do I already have this shit. Is it fucking DLnow? I just started using that software, or shareX? PuushX had a security leak at some point.

Help me Sup Forums please.

The average 18y/o today can't tell you what dialup is

>adblockplus
What year is it.jpg

How much have that shit have you pirated? And what exe did your av say was fucked up?

i never bothered to download movies on dialup, only anime (local video store had very few)
it made more sense to just rent movies and copy those than spend several days and most of your monthly hours downloading a rip

>windows defender
>CCCP
>ventrilo
stop installing bloated codec packs when you already have MPC-HC, and stop using dead VOIP software when Mumble exists, and stop using shitty built in defender.

>not ublock origin and umatrix instead of adblock and noscript

dont know what syncplay and spv is but its either these or sharex/puush or dlnow like you said.

Get a decent AV.

kind of mean isnt it?

reformat

i get unlimited text and 100 calls and 2GB data for $10/mo and 1GB extra data is $5...

I would listen to that song over and over. Fucking call weird al
