/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

Last one is 300+

I'll start: What's a good VPN? Preferably one that's not overused by chinese gold farmers. I plan to use it mainly for torrents, but also to play OSRS

> but also to play OSRS
nigga have you not been noticing the dcs lately, but I heard PIA is cheap

>open song on clementine
>everything is fine, album art is correct
>open same song on foobar
>wrong album art
I know the album art of the file is fine, in windows explorer and in clementine it is how it should be. What should I do to make foobar display the right art?

Apparently the DCs/lag have been a geographical issue. Some people in the east coast have been playing without issues, while people on the west coast can't even open the client.

And I'm looking into PIA, it seems pretty good so far

Hey i buy a chink battery for my laptop and a get 0190 critical battery low is there something i can do ?

do you want privacy or not, it depends

Thanks, I'll peruse through this

Not really. I mean, I would prefer one that does not have logging, but I mostly care about not having my ISP up my ass for downloading copyrighted material

Can I make specific files shareable? I want to give my sister an anime to watch, but don't want them getting into other shit like porn. USB's also not an option cause it's 47 gigs.

what OS are you running and why do you not use ftp or something like that

Windows 7.

47 GB is small, why is usb not an option? 256 GB usb sticks are dirt cheap.

More of a "I don't own one" and not a "It doesn't exist"

sorry can not help you i do not know shit when it comes to windows but you could always try telnet if usb is not an option

I want to build a new PC for 4K editing.
6800k or 7700k? (or should I wait for Ryzen)

Wait for Ryzen.
If Ryzen ends up not being that great get the 6800k when the price drops.

>put anime in one directory
>share that directory

Try not to fuck up user

Go spend $10 and get one.

>create folder
>create symlink to properly organized anime in my collection
>no problems

Make a plex server.

plex.tv

Anything on the local network can watch in a browser.

When can I stop being paranoid about Windows 10?
I've done about everything I can think of to get rid of the bloat. Did a fresh install. Deleted the appxpackage and tile bullshit. Disabled a bunch of services along with the Windows updates.
But, I always feel like shit is going on behind my back. Like, the ethernet port flashes when the computer is off and theres still active services using the cpu when I'm sitting at the desktop doing nothing.
It's a fucking nightmare not being able to trust your own computer.

I use AirVPN, a little bit more expensive but damn good


What's Sup Forums use to open .CBR files? (on windows)

Right-Click the Directory, Properties.
Sharing - Advanced Sharing - Share this Folder

Sounds like you have bigger things to worry about than Windows 10.

>OSRS
Fucking shitter go suck b0atys cocks some more. If you're too retarded to play RS3 you're too retarded to run a vpn

This.

Works great for pictures and music too.

>When can I stop being paranoid about Windows 10?
When you finally desire to.

>isabled a bunch of services along with the Windows updates.
This is only going to hurt you, you should turn the updates back on.

>the ethernet port flashes when the computer is off
You should learn more on how a computer works, this happens because the NIC never really turn off for most computers.

Tech novice here, I've been trying out Waterfox but lately I've been noticing 90+% swap space usage after an hour or so of browsing. Ram however is normal. Would Waterfox alone be the cause or is there likely a deeper issue? On Windows 7.

unused ram/swap is wasted ram/swap
linuxatemyram.com
TL;DR Let your fucking system fucking manage its self dumbfuck

>turn the updates back on

I check for build updates regularly and update that manually along with all the other drivers.
And my antivirus updates automatically.

I'm looking to upgrade cases, should I go for a fractal Design R5 or a Corsair C70?

Fair, but a couple of hours just browsing with Waterfox (

I'm 5'7"
Should I stop?
Or keep going until the first time I see 117.8?

>Oh no an application is using ram
>Oh no

Why does yiffy browser crash when it's using about two jee bees of RAM? Why can't it get to 3.5?

Buy a seedbox and run your own VPN through it.

Like, if you're already using torrents... why wouldn't you just do this straight away?

Hello Sup Forums, in a week I'm going to have to pick a specialization in either Networking or Programming and interactive design.

I'm fine with either one but which one of these would give me a better career outlook in the future? Or rather what would you recommend.

If a steak has kind of a slight sour taste (kind of like you drizzled lemon on it) and you didn't put anything on it to cause this, does it mean it's bad? Had this happen occasionally and wondered. The meat looked good and didn't seem to smell bad or anything, didn't even really taste bad except for the thought that maybe I was eating spoiled meat in the back of my mind.

All meat poses other hazards :^)

Is there a limit to how many data devices you can connect to a CPU/GPU? Considering you have a hasswell/skylake CPU with a power supply with unlimited supply, a motherboard with unlimited sata connections, and unlimited sata cables ?

I meant sata devices not data devices,darn phone autocorrect

I'm a complete retard and I don't know how to get either Sony Vegas Pro or Adobe Premier. I want to get into video editing, as Windows Movie Maker can only do so much.

Is kdenlive any good?

openshot

is 16 GB of ram good? or is it a meme

Thank you for the recommendation. I don't think this tutorial is very good, as I can't advance past this window, but I'll try my best to learn it.

Oops, forgot image. Can't move this tutorial bubble at all for some reason. Tried to get the taskbar out of the way but that didn't help

Where can i find a crack or keygen for sony vegas pro 14?

REEEEEEEEEEE

For fuck sak9NUC7i5BNKe. I'm trying find a specific Intel NUC model (NUC7i5BNK) but I can't even find a purchase button for it on Intel's website and I have no idea if the damn thing has even been released yet? Why is intel's website such a cunt to navigate?

Should I get the 6th gen i5 nuc or the 7th gen i5 nuc?

On various software piracy related sites.

I just got ssh authentication through kerberos working for the first time on my centos machines. Feels pretty good because it took me a while to figure out what was going wrong. Anyone actually work with this stuff on a daily basis?

Programming you will probably make more money if you are good.

I have a 1070, 2 1080p monitors and a 4k tv. My question is should I run all 3 from my card or just the monitors and the tv from the integrated graphics (That's how I'm doing it right now)? Or should I run all three from the card?

What laptop should I replace my lenovo y50 with? I originally got it for college/gaming, but after three years I realize I don't like lugging it around campus, and the screen is having problems from carrying it around. Plus having the battery die after two hours blows.

I want something lighter, cheaper, and with an actual battery life. I've been eyeing new chromebooks like the c302ca, samsung plus/pro, and the flip 2, but I also want to be able to torrent anime and play vns. I really don't want to drop $1000 on an ultrabook because I'm considering building a pc for gaming too.

Depends what kind of work you'll use it for. How about a used/refurbished ultrabook ?
Maybe an older X1 Carbon or something similar.

I'm a junior CS major with a 2.75 GPA. Am I fucked?

I'm in a bit over my head you guys, our Red Hat admin quit not long ago and I've pretty much been left out to dry on this. I know some basics, but a true grasp of packages and repos eludes me. I'm trying to mount an NFS share to a folder, but it seems like I've got a broken alias to nfs. Other mounts work fine, but when I try to install nfs-utils, I get this error and --skip-broken doesn't help.

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

stop shilling

a few years ago i bought a corsair sp2500 speaker system, and while the satellite speakers work fine the subwoofer almost immediately ceased functioning. i can't use it now anyway because of space constraints, but can anyone tell just from these internals if there's anything obviously broken/unplugged?

How do i block street shitting indians from showing up in my youtube search results? I fucking hate them so much.

Fuse looks fine from here but you should check it anyway, I've had to replace them before.

Delete all your cookies

Best screen recording software for Windows? (Not fraps or bandicam)

OBS without a doubt
obsproject.com/

i'll see if that does anything, thanks

Don't use open wifi or a shared network. I can see what my roommates watch on YouTube from the suggestions.

I had that in another tab because it looked so good. Thanks.

Notes, word processing, presentation making, and as mentioned, media player, so keyboard/touchpad/screen/transfer speed are all very important. I took a look at the X1 and it's definitely an option. I honestly forgot about refurb.

How would it compare to dualboot chromebook?

If those speakers have a control pod that could be the problem as well. Anyway you can get a pack of those fuses on eBay for like five bucks.

I did a clean install of Windows 8.1, and all it does is get stuck searching for updates. I've tried searching for answers which leads me to try installing certain updates, but it just results in "The update is not applicable to your computer." each time I try every KBwhatever people suggest to download and install. This is a clean 8.1 install with no updates installed whatsoever, and I'd really rather not use 10. Is there anything else I can try?

Is it better to get an internet+tv package from my cable provider or just internet + slingtv ($20/mo)?

is this a good deal for becoming a professional-looking youtuber?

stop Background Intelligent Transfer service and Windows Update service
del c:\windows\softwaredistribution
then restart the two services and try again

It's never good to pay more for tv because it has negative value. I'm neet until this fall, and I don't even have time for all the youtube channels I watch. Get on a tv torrent tracker if you're addiced to that shit.

I had those problems with updating widows update in 8 and never could resolve it. Sorry. I spent a week on it I eventually went back to seven. I don't have time to deal with Microsoft's bullshit anymore.

Don't know why you don't just buy a camera, some lenses, and a Chinese tripod all separately instead. You don't need photoshop pro, you don't need a carrying case, you don't need wipes, etc. You'll save money, and you may even get a better camera if you buy things separately.

The camera by itself is $500 and the lenses are all $200-$250, so $600 for body + a lens seemed like a good deal ignoring all the accessories...

here's the controller. on the reverse side of the right sandwich board is the display

...bread board

Could've sworn I've tried this before, but it worked this time. It found updates almost immediately. Thanks.
I would've went back to 7, but I really like having that Win+X context menu along with native ISO mounting and better multi monitor support of 8.1, and I can't stand 10 and its inconsistent mess of a UI along with other annoyances just to get it to work the way I want it to.

My computer is Linux right now, but I need Windows for proprietary. My school gives me free W7, but when I go to download it, it gives me this shit.
Can I just download an iso from Microsoft and use the key that the school gave me?

just use the SDM, it's just glorified torrent program. Otherwise, why not just use DaZ?

Glad I could help

it's cutting board you dingus

>just use the SDM
I don't know how to open a dmg file.

dmg can be converted to iso with dd or poweriso

Has the cloudflare problem affected Sup Forums? Some people seem to be claiming they've been banned, but without posting.

I managed to collect all the episodes of Jon Benjamin Has a Van. Since there isn't one I'd like to make a complete torrent of the series. What are the best public trackers to add to make sure it's listed everywhere?

bump

If I want a cheap gaming pc, is ATX best bang for your buck? I like mATX or mITX sizes, but I have no clue how steep the tradeoff is.

what is a cheap portable media player that plays aac and flac? I imagine ogg, wav and mp3 would be supported anyway. I was thinking of recycling an old Android I have and use it for this purpose but which player would be better? MX or AIMP?

clip+ is memed pretty hard on Sup Forums, they don't make them anymore but you can still pick one up pretty cheap. plays anything and you can flash rockbox on it as well.

I dont know the answer to your question but check out the cpu motherboard bundle deals at microcenter if you leave near one. I'm pretty sure they are the best deal you can get.

My internet provider has been bought out like 4 times now.

I found out I was no longer getting the 100 mbps I was paying for and upgraded to the 300 mbps service (TWC Spectrum).

However, I am only getting 75 mbps with a 10/100/1000 mobo, cat6 cable and Arris 1672.

I am going tomorrow to get a new modem but I have a feeling that I can't even get 300 mbps at my apartment.

Is there a way to test what my apartment complex is capable of?

amazon has them for around $100. any others around the $50 range?

I have a PC that does GoToMeeting

Any suggestions for a wireless solution?

Exceptionally stupid question, lads.
I'm building a pc for a family member. They don't game, but they want a 27" 1440p monitor for the space, or something. They wouldn't be using the pc for anything particularly special, no graphic design, no professional audio stuff.
Would the HD 630 igpu be sufficient for normal use on a 1440p 60hz monitor, or should I add on a cheap gpu like a 460 or something? I've read that it's possible to use the igpu if the mobo has dual link dvi, but would it work fine in all office-use-type circumstances? How about in 5 years (they want this built to last)?

Is there an android app that keeps track of the books I've read and can sync to the botnet?
