It was a punishment from the gods. They would destroy any technological leverage he might craft for himself.

He beat 'em at least once, that's how he got the punishment in the first place. And he's got unlimited time to plot his revenge.

Is there a goto Windows 7 iso torrent with recent updates?

Also somewhat related, got my Ryzen build on its way, do W10 offer any substantial performance advantage?

It normal that Acronis True Image likes to hang and crash a lot when I actually try to restore one of the backups it has created? Or does it just not like Dynamic Volumes or something?

The actual background service seems to be fine and I can check progress well enough with the tray icon (or just opening the volume I'm restoring my files to) but if I try to open the app to see detailed progress or ETA it will hang almost immediately and crash if I try to interact with it at all.

Honestly don't know if this program is even any good but I got it free with my SSD and seemed a fair bet to do the quick backup/restore I needed since I was reworking a RAID array and needed everything off for a bit.

There's ISOs on mydigitallife, but generally getting modded copies is just asking for raging piles of malware. The convenience rollup helps though.

10 isn't much of an improvement at this point. Dx12 is a little underwhelming and vulcan does about as well.

I asked in the other thread:

What's the static resistor thingy called on cords that a lot of companies put on the end of it? Normally it's like around 1/2 to an inch long. It can be snapped off if you know how. My power cable has one to my PC

Are the update rollups cumulative? I was under the impression that the May 2016 one included everything up to that point, and then from that point on the monthly rollups only included new updates since the last one. Wound up just grabbing the May one for that reason since I couldn't find a single page that had all of them in a convenient list, just links to some of them scattered all over the place. (What the fuck, Microsoft?) And anyway just downloading a bit less than a year of updates wasn't so bad.

I want to caputre video from freecams and cams4 are these programmes safe:
camstudio.org/
and
jaksa

they come without adware or not?

Is there a better RSS reader for general desktop notifications than FeedDemon? Been using it for years (even paid for it back when they were still selling a premium version) but since it has been discontinued by the developer for a long time now been wondering if anything better has come along since. Just want easy desktop notifications from multiple sources, should have some kind of filtering functionality and a nice browsing interface.

Laptop buy guide anyone?
Alternatively, suggestions for a ~1000$ laptop? Used mostly for business, not much gaming.

Cheers mate

My hard drive suddenly stopped working. I was told that I might be able to salvage some of my files off it by buying a USB-SATA adapter which would allow me to connect the hard drive to another computer and copy the files across. I bought one but when I connect the hard drive up and attempt to view the files, the screen goes completely black until I disconnect it. This happens on every computer I've tried.

I'm guessing the hard drive is completely fucked?

Yes, they are cumulative. You only need the latest one. The convenience rollup is like an unofficial service pack. It covers a lot of ground towards getting you up to date. The potential down side is you can't uninstall any of it's updates individually if you use it. So you're stuck with a couple of telemetry ones.

QuiteRSS is pretty good. You can get it from MajorGeeks

I need a television around 20inch, minimum 1920x1080, on board speakers and HDMI input.

What's a good one I can get? I don't need/want a bluray player or anything else attached.

>screen goes completely black until I disconnect it

You're not trying to boot from the thing, are you?

No, just view the files like the way you would use a USB. Apparently this is how they work but honestly I don't know because I have no experience with this sort of thing.

why does opera seem faster than chrome even tho they the same engine?

What programs can I use to mount ISO files on Win10?

fucking DAEMON tools doesn't fucking work and I want to set up this hentai game and my boner is uncontained!!

Any idea how to block these ads? I have uBlock and tried blocking the element but no luck.

fuck, wrong pic.

powerISO?

You should check the documentation and see what your version is capable of / licensed to handle. Dynamic volumes could definitely be a curveball it's not designed to handle. In general I've always had the best results with EaseUS and Macrium, and I've never needed the paid version of either.

I think those count as annotations on youtube, try have all annotations disabled.

Do you have a desktop you could attach it to directly?

Windows 10 lets you mount ISOs natively.

Whenever i compile something it utilizes only one thread. Does make (or whatever compiles it) has any global settings for this ?

make -j$(nproc)

I've got one but I don't use it anymore. Although I'm sure I can still use it for this. So all I have to do is attach it as a second hard drive, boot up the computer and see if the hard drive is recognised? Thanks

OC'ing a 6600k at the moment.

Is the safe vcore before or after vdroop (nop LLC on his MB)?

Any other tension to change (on a z170) to stabilize ?

It has a worker stopping during prime95 at 1.375 vcore in BIOS (which is high), did my friend get a piece of shit that can't OC?

What's a safe 24/7 vcore (bios)? I read 1.3 to 1.4 on air. Is 1.4 too much?

In my day we used Alcohol 120%

Right click "mount". W10 can read isos natively.

Ausfag here. I hear the government is now storing everyone's metadata, and that if you want to escape this, there's some measure you'd need to take, something about a vpn? Can anyone explain? I'm a bit of a retard on this issue

If you have a good primary OS on that computer, sure. You can also attach it in place of your regular hard drive and boot off a USB or flashdrive. If you need a good copy of windows with all the tools on it, this ISO works well

Sometimes linux can handle things that windows can't, so if that doesn't cut it you might also take a stab at it with ubuntu.

Will look into that, thanks

For what purpose would you mess with an equalizer? I just got a pair of gaming headphones and they sound muddled, like it's not clear when the equalizer is flat. I'm just trying to make everything overall sound better.

VPNs are encrypted links between two far away computers/devices over the internet. You can set up your own, say one at your house that lets your phone connect safely over public wifi, or you can pay someone to be that other end. You trust them with all your internet traffic, so they basically replace your ISP as the ones with the access to that information. People put a lot of effort into trying to figure out which ones are "trustworthy", but really all we have to go on is their word, and the laws of the country they happen to be in. Their best use is usually copywrite infringement and mild anonymity. Most regular websites you log in to will throw a fit that you suddenly appear to be in a different country.

Are they USB or headphone jack? Do they sound good on other devices?

Usb, I don't think I have any other usb devices to connect to other than my tv, but I would have to reinstall the 7.1 surround on there somehow. Should flat eq sound like this?

The defaults should be decent, but it's kinda hard to say in your situation. Gaming headphones are kind of an odd category, and shit isn't always made the way it should be. You can try it with or without the third party app it probably comes with. You could also try booting up linux live and seeing what it sounds like there. Check around online to see if anyone else is having problems with that model. And maybe ask around on the headphone thread

Anyone know what this is called? So I can find the solution for making these symbols readable.

VPN novice here

I would like to have the ability to access my files on a NAS from anywhere. Bonus if I can use remote desktop. I currently have a PIA subscription and I also have an extra router in my possession (asus rtn66u)

What do I need to do/get so I can remotely access my network via VPN? Do I have to build a server (like with a RPi) or is the router able to act as the server?

Any idiot proof guides out there to achieve this?

what if I don't like typical hedonism
can hedonism be programming?

I'm trying to build something with MSYS2, but I get
>fatal error: sys/un.h: No such file or directory
Apparently sys/un.h has to do with UNIX sockets, which makes sense, but what package do I need to download to get it? How would I even find something like that?

they're placeholder symbols
the numbers inside them denote which unicode character they are, if you search for one, you'll know what kind of font will have them

hey
how do I add gnatcoll packages to linker?

Router can host a vpn on it's own.

I'll have a look in that soon, thanks, i'll try switching to a different port and see what happens too.

Any way to know if a mobo jas bad sound quality before I buy it? For example my laptop has good sound but my friend's desktop has very distorted, tinny sound.

I have to spend 50 hours working on a comp sci project for school, but I don't know what to make.

What do Sup Forums?

You can google what audio chip is on it, and try find some people's reviews. Generally, don't rely on onboard audio to be consistent because I doubt they do much quality control. Unless you go for more expensive motherboards, which include half-decent chips.
Alternatively, the sound difference you might be hearing is due to power output difference, if you're using headphones that need stronger amplification than your friend's desktop supplies. (Unlikely though.)

JS question seeing as theres no /wdg/ up atm
wtf is this inside of a function?
$.something ? is it an object/variable/function i dont get it

Can you see this shitpost from a kindle? When do you think the experimental browser will be good?

Why is it Americans are so afraid of alcohol?
As in it is illegal for people under 21, the term "legal limit" isn't just for assigning blame in traffic accidents and people constantly claim that it is the same as weed.
I get that there is a health risk, but you have to drink a lot and you usually pass out or get sick before you get there. Having a beer in the middle of the day is not shocking or signs of alcohol abuse nor does it mean every action you take the rest of the day is affected by you being drunk.

Is it worth making alcohol related technology if Americans is so afraid of enjoying alcohol without being drunk?
Or enjoying alcohol without becoming a drunk?

Well if I do get one with bad sound would a dac amp or sound card fix it?

Does anyone know what this is? (Image)

One of the cat6 cables in my office is going across floors and the image is just an access panel into the electrical panels.

Anyway, I was checking why one of the ports upstairs wasn't working and this looks like the most likely culprit as to why it's not working.

But it's the blue pair in the cable that has been spliced into a two pair cable (phoneline I think) which I have no idea where it goes too.

Has someone tried hacking in or something stupid? the port on the switch doesn't show any activity or connection, stats/polling give nothing as well etc.

A DAC does the signal conversion from digital to analogue that a headphone/speaker needs. An amp simply amplifies this signal.
Onboard audio and sound cards are a combination of both of these. Getting a fairly cheap USB sound card is basically guaranteed to sound better than onboard. I'd recommend one if you're worried about sound quality.

Its a function that calls a jquery plugin, once the plugin completes it will call the success function.

what is the cheapest tld to register and renew with payment in btc?
.ru would be the cheapest but afaik you need a passport and no bitcoin payments

Is this card good for a high end phone?

When are we going to be left with only laptops that have non-replaceable batteries so jews can sell more "power banks"? Why aren't manufacturers making it as a standard yet? It is a standard for smartphones for a few years already! Even flagshop phones like samshit 8 has non replaceable battery.

It's a NSA wiretap. Leave it be.

So how do I make it so firefox has ALL unicode/fonts "available".
Constantly see these boxes with numbers in them, I just wanna see them all no matter wtf they are.
Don't really know what to search for, google is retarded.

100Mbit ethernet only uses the green and orange pairs, the others can be tapped off for some other purpose, looks like they used it as a phone line. If you want to convert to regular ethernet wiring, chop out the tap, stick on proper connectors.

How hard would it be to program something to print barcodes in batches? From 1-100, 101-200 etc.

Also, how hard would it be to incorporate an active directory in a C# program?

How does one get gtk file chooser to have thumbnails?

perhaps try GNU unifont
unifoundry.com/unifont.html

You have to install those fonts into your operating system. This isn't fixed at the browser level.

It's one of four cat6 cables going to two upper floors. Installed around two years ago, I've chopped the wire off and tried to splice it back together. The port isn't even working at 100e regardless, so I'm going with the cable being broken somewhere, a problem for another day though.

But the phone line has never been installed in the property under our lease and the door intercom is still working, it smells more like a tap than anything.

Where can I acquire a "Windows Server 2008 Foundation (x86-64)" ISO? I need one.

what's the program people use to record shit from NETFLIX?

now now boys no need to turn it into fan fiction

Is there any advantage to having a graphics card in a computer that's not for gaming?

I have the urge to throw a cheap one in a productivity build, but I can't decide if it's a waste of money.

>Got my own router
>ISP provided me with their router
>Can't use my own router
>Have to set their router to 'modem' mode
>then connect my router though the 'modem'
How secure would this be? I'm concerned they might be be doing some fuckery

Is there anything cool you can do with wireless hotspots aside from their intended purpose?

Hardware acceleration for many little things like video playback would help a bit with day to day usage. If you have a display that's higher res than 1080p I'd definitely recommend getting one.

Pls respond

Modem mode most likely means that it is in bridged mode. This means the modem is just demodulating the connection and spitting out packets to your router.

With this config they are probably not up to any funny business.

Not necessarily with a hotspot, but google 'piratebox' or 'librarybox'.

Essentially you're making a little wireless file repository that circumvents network trafficking. But good luck trying to convince strangers to ever using it.

If you don't have data limits, you can connect it to a router and have that as your Internet connection.

Cheers user

Getting a new laptop soon, want something recent and top-shelf. Looking at:
Thinkpad X1C/Y
XPS 15
Yoga 720/900s
SP4 (or possibly 5)

Will be used mainly for PS/CSP and Sketchup
Am a huge drawfag so I value display quality a lot

Which should I go with? Otherwise, what should I consider?

Can someone explain what is the full difference between installing extensions/addons in your browser and installing scripts. Are there any limitations for each of them?

check you havent disabled remote fonts in the browser (some privacy addons probably do this)

thankies!

Why can't anything be downloaded with the latest releases of Lightning mobile browser?

I suggest VAIO Z Canvas.
Just looked at it and is on sale currently.

>WQXGA+, 1.5 ratio = not 1.7 wide meme

If you're gonna use a lot of PS CSP and technical toolbars then you're gonna value that extra screen height more than wide meme.

You're in the club and this guy slaps your gf ass, what would you do?

I think it's got a problem with the TTL.
Most ISPs disallow use of wifi router-extenders while limiting the allowed number of devices (ISP router always suck)

Slap my own ass.

install windows 10 on his laptop
