i got a wart on the inside of my thumb. how long will it take to go away?

>Warts typically disappear on their own with time, but it may take years.
>A 12-week daily treatment with salicylic acid has been shown to lead to a complete clearance of warts in 10–15% of the cases.
seems a bit extreme? can they go away quicker than that?

so i live with my parents at the moment
they pay for and more importantly bought in the first place the (im not certain i even know the actual term) 'internet subscription service provider package deal' that allows me to browse the internet
i remember being around at my friends house and him saying he had to watch how much he downloaded as they had a limit
so im wondering how i can find out if i have a limit too (and possibly other conditions) without asking them, like a kind of secret mission i guess
like is there a website that can pick up on it or something?
thanks for any help

dyou know how you get warts?

it's from a virus. i'm not sure how i got it, but it might be from my pantyhose, but i don't have warts on my feet, only on my thumb.

>pantyhose
wow, no ones ever said pantyhose to me to my face in real life standing in front of me physically before and (after i google imaged it to see if they were what i suspected) i was filled with a tremendous feeling
i guess that must be love
what makes you think its the panty hoses?

No. Limits are artificially enforced by your ISP. You'll need to find out what plan your parents bought.

You could go to e.g. speedtest.net to find out what your isp is and what speed you're getting, that will narrow your search a bit. If your isp then only offers a few different packages, that may be enough to deduce your limit. Alternatively, if your isp doesn't enforce limits at all, then you're also good to go.

However, if your isp has various packages where you can choose the speed you get and also the limit (independently), you'll need to maybe find a billing slip or something if you don't want to ask your parents directly. Or you could formulate the question to inquire how much they're paying, if you prefer - knowing the price and speed should let you deduce the exact package your parents bought.

Just burn it off you pussy.

I have a key for Windows Server 2016 and I'm tired of getting tracked by Microsoft. Question: can I just simply use it as my main OS instead of Windows 10?

I'm a bit curious, does a 4 AA battery holder ONLY work with 4 AA batteries or could it work with 2 batteries?

I.E, if I only want to power something with less than 3 volts could I just save money and use a 4 battery holder with 2 batteries or do I need to get a specific 2 battery holder?

ive just found out my version of firefox is 32-bit
im thinking this is 'bad'
am i right?

Nah, you're fine.

you need 4

ive gone to download this tabmixplus.org/ but it says nightly next to the download option
i dont think i use nightly
can i still download it?
thanks

how do they differ (assuming theres a 64-bit (and also no others))?

64-bit versions are usually a tad faster, but you probably wouldn't notice the difference. You could always install a 64-bit Firefox and see for yourself!

Is it bad if you start getting coil whine late into your desktop's life?

which fucking (specific) link(/website/version) of piratebay do you use
is there a definitive one (or that doesnt have pop ups and shit at least)
thanks

My company has a grid drawing framework with pretty bad performance problems when drawing many cells but it's fine when putting all the data into a single cell.
I can do the sorting myself but the problem is that the formatting sucks. Is there a good way to format strings with non-monospaced font so words in the middle align perfectly?

the icons that (should) accompany the tab tiles in the back-tab (when you click and hold or right click on the back arrow) menu aren't appearing sometimes
anyone know the problem/solution?
thanks

Are smartwatches worth considering?

what are the boxes (and the arrows pointing to them) in the top left corner of posts on this site for?
thanks

for deleting your post
see button at the right-bottom of the screen

just google it, google now supports showing best torrent sites. I would give you some links but im at work

You can put a wire in place of the missing batteries

>google now supports
Not as good as it used to.
;_;

and are the arrows as 'direct' as moot/hiro/the boys get in explaining that thats what it means (or is it actually spelled out somewhere (i would actually be interested in seeing this if thats true)?)?

how do you mean 'now supports', i feel im sensing a hint of facetiousness (if only the very faintest)
dyou mean, did they used to not show torrent sites in results at all? how anti were they?
and dyou know why theyve changed their minds?

Is the >muh 3.5gb meme even that bad at 1080p?

proxybay.one/

My cuck isp occasionally blocks a bunch of them. I think I've been using pirateproxy.cc for a while and it's been fine so far.
They almost all have popups but you do use ublock and/or umatrix, don't you? Pirateproxy.cc at least doesn't have giant colourful " DOWNLOAD ME" links that lead to unrelated stuff, it just has the "Download magnet" button.

Depends

You can literally use 2gb and be fine in most cases. You'll only need more for meme textures (I can't run gtav with max textures or fully modded skyrim on my 2gb laptop).

Alright I am in the market for a com. I am looking for something that is secure and somethong I can torrent with

Vpn

Are Wifi extenders any good or just memes? Should I go for them o a new router?

wtf im on my fone rite now and my computer wont turn on, plez help.

I love corn.

What is the best freeware Video Editing Software that I can get for Windows 7?

Wifi extenders are only good if you have a massive house, plus they can only extend in a specific direction most of the time. It wont speed up your connection if that's what you're after

windows movie maker

How do I repair a Windows 10 instalation that doesn't boot after I installed ubuntu on a separate HD?

tl;dr winbaby got hias first linux, fucked up windows

openshot

My house isn't massive, I'm only in the room upstairs but my router is shit and doesn't give a good connection there in my laptop.

Would a router or extender be more beneficial?

It's always better to run a wire or upgrade your base unit to offer better coverage.

Wire's not really an option. Base unit meaning router, right?

I have a water-damaged laptop I want to part out, and one of the more valuable parts is the M.2 SSD. Problem is I don't have another laptop around that takes those. How do I wipe it before selling?

router

you'll need something that supports m.2 drives
probably the cheapest method is to get an m.2 > pci-e adapter card

Don't sell the hard drive

Didn't know such a thing existed
Thanks, user.

Is there any way to limit Spotify clients cache on Windows desktop client? I only use it for streaming and after a few weeks the cache folder was bloated with 30gb of trash (a fucking quater of my system SSD). I've tried community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux-Windows-Web-Player/Lots-of-data-being-stored-locally/td-p/17115 but it didn't do anything.

Im trying to add a command to spacefm's context menu to open dvd iso's using mpv.
The mpv command is mpv --dvd-device=.I tried playing with the syntax but apparently im just not getting it
Could anyone lead me in the right direction for the syntax?
Intended functionaliy would be right click the sio go to open with and then the custom command would be there

Yep, just upgrade the router. I upgraded mine recently and was surprised how good the signal was.

Can I roll back an Android update w/out rooting? Or will have to learn the ins and outs of rooting? Nougat was not made for my Galaxy S6. So many apps bugging out. I wanna go back to Marshmallow.

You have to flash a marshmellow rom,which means you need atleast the bootloader unlocked

Built my very first pc trying to install windows when it gets to the install screen I can't move my mouse and my keyboard won't work iv'e tried using USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports

do i enable updates on a fresh copy of windows 7

Is there a good (free) hard drive format recovery tool? I upgraded my computer and had backed up my files using Windows Easy Transer, but when I go to put the files back in after the upgrade it says there is an error. I formatted the hard drive the files were in, but I didn't put anything else on it yet so it should still be recoverable, right? After that I can figure out how to transfer them nicely since I can't rely on WET it seems.

I already use that, it was slow and it crashed after rendering a video. The video was fine but the program wouldn't start, it kept giving me an error, so I uninstalled it.

Try cracking EaseUs Data Recovery Wizard. It saved 4TB of pictures, documents and music for me.

Must be your hardware then.

is this bad for my laptop anons

how to install mpv on xubuntu 12.04 i386 architecture cpu?
using ppa says that there are no builds for i386 but i've seen people here testing mpv on n270 cpu

You remember the place you found the crack? Everything looks shady and haven't seen a working one.

I have urgent issue:

Something deleted half of my files on my SSD.

I was running new version of RPCS3 (the PS3 emulator) and I booted up P4 and did few tests to see how it runs on my machine.

I stopped RPCS3 and decided that I need to reboot to adjust clock speed in bios (i7-6700k 4.0Ghz -> 4.4Ghz ) as I had turned it down earlier. I restarted my computer (from start menu) and Firefox, Explorer and RPCS3 were still running altough the emulator wasn't running any game. There was that grey screen which showed Windows Explorer and Firefox were still busy but it disappeared in couple of seconds.

Bam... After OS came up, half of my files erased. Steam library, important documents and other stuff instantly wiped. I'm not joking. This is on SSD, from where I was running RPCS3 as well.

Has this happened before to anyone? Where should I report it? I'm angry.

Running file recovery (piriform recuva) now if I can salvage something.

None of the operating system logs show anything. At least on Event Viewer, I'm not sure if there are any other places where I should be looking in.

I'm wondering is this caused just by rebooting the computer at wrong time or something to do with the emulator?

There has been single physical issues with my machine, it's about one year old and SSD is probably 6 months old now. I have never ever experienced anything like this during 30 years of computer use.

(Okay, I do have backups of my important files but this is annoying as hell and I'm not sure if I trust to use this drive again).

Forgot, P4 = Persona 4 and I'm on Windows 10. No malware present as far as I'm concerned.

Which logs I need to check besides Event Viewer?

So I just tried this shit on my laptop running Windows and now it won't boot my Windows install
What the fuck does this do? How do I fix it?

What would be the optimal way to read the subtitles of a show?

I can't install jupyter notebook and python 3 on linux mint. Help robots!

R-Studio 7.2 Build 155105 Network Edition
the only recovery program that have actually worked for me

Yes. I never turn my laptops off, and usually the fan's bearings destroy themselves within eight months of use. Has happened to a T61, some HP consumer crap and a Latitude E4300.

anyone here have experience with aegisub or mkvs? how would I remove this hardsub?

im this user recuva is shit

use mkvtools

>2016
Already botnet

what one?

>typing "dyou"

Seems like the hard disk indices has been broken in weird way. Recuva was running already and I'm examining the files - for example, Witcher 3, Steam game which is almost pristine but has few file entries replaced with a data pointing to another directory on the same disk. So the NTFS data is broken somehow.

Question: Should I run chkdsk first before trying to use file recovery tool?

Win 8 suddenly got unresponsive / very slow (in safe mode), I was suspecting some update broke it
>recover from backup
Still slow af
Try to install various distros, some have problems with wifi, some have problems with sound
It is a older HP laptop (a6-5200, 8GB ram, 1TB hdd), maybe there is some hw problem, what could be the culprit? How should I investigate it? hardinfo did not give any pointers, the benchmarks run quite adequately

i have a few thousands of pictures, both in png and jpg format. the only difference in the name between each is the extension
how can i list all the repeating files in Total Commander?

Anyway, I'll grab what I can and reformat the SSD completely. I almost always used that only for gaming but there was few things which were important. Not a bad loss except all the bandwidth if I need to redownload everything. Fuck Windows 10 and fuck SSDs.

lol

>he has automatic updates on

Ubuntu babby here, I wanted to switch to Debian but I couldn't find PPSSPP in the Debian repo, does this mean I have to compile it myself? Does Debian have anything like Ubuntu's ppa?

Shouldn't be that slow.
Sounds like a fucked up windows install, a damaged HDD could be the problem too.

You have 2 options:
1) Get a Linux USB (Download Linux Mint and Rufus and get a 4GB+ USB).
2) Reinstall windows

>set up my VPN proxy in qbittorrent
>download speeds insanely slow
>wont even download metadata
Did I do something wrong? I already checked if it masks my IP

Does my VPN for browsing need to be enabled if the proxy is set up in my bittorrent client?

ShortCut.

I followed this exact guide and it worked.

god dammit

Who is this semen demon?

I have a laptop with the shittiest BIOS imaginable. I'm unable to install an OS using a USB drive and it doesn't have a DVD drive.

I used to install Windows using PXE network boot. I've recently reinstalled Windows using PXE and I was intending to create a Ubuntu dualboot afterwards.

However this piece of shit now completely refuses to boot with PXE so I have very little options left.

I was wondering if it would be possible to take out the secondary harddrive I intended to use for Ubuntu, Install it on there and then modify the boottables to set it as a boot option after I place it back into my laptop.

Is it safe to move a laptop while it's running?
Assuming the laptop has HDD not SSD.

I am trying to install linux on my laptop via USB, but nothing seems to work.. doesn't even boot. I tried different images and distributions but none works. Also tried different USB Sticks and even an SD Card.. still, nothing.
