4k 122hz IPS in 2018 for affordable price - real?

Bumping.
I keep getting I/O errors trying to install Windows 10 on my desktop. I can format and arrange partitions but the USB refuses to install to them.

The question mark on the end of that suggests you came to the right thread.

Motherboard: Z170X-G5

PC doesn't turn on after shutdown, doesn't post.
Needs to turn off several times to get it to post and boot

Motherboard?

MoBo? Possible but I'd check the Power Supply. Verify all the cables are plugged in entirely and try to power cycle the computer. Then if everything I just said fails alternate ram, then cpu/mobo if you have spares.

i'm about to downgrade my s7 firmware
what should i back up, and how?

You should probably find a bios speaker and plug that in, helps with troubleshooting.

hi can you delete that photo please?

Why was broadcast television so fucking good in the 1990's?

I have a dead internal laptop drive, doesn't spin up or click.
I would've taken it to a data recovery place so they can extract my data by now.
Important shit on there.
But i don't want them seeing my porn.
Might get me in trouble legally.
I feel fucked.

why
good idea
PSU is rather new, G550 seasonic. i guess i can switch out a RAM stick. thanks.

ok i'll just report it

Is ArchLinux a good OS?

yes but use arch-anywhere instead of messing around installing it.
If you're new to linux I'd recommend Manjaro instead. Yaourt, the AUR and The Arch Wiki are life savers.

Doesn't it cost a ton to use them recovery places? Just tell them beforehand you have porn and to expect it.

>arch-anywhere
Or take 5 minutes reading a wiki and copy paste commands.Tops 10 commands
>manjaro
Using downstream distros is never a good idea.
Manjaro is also very insecure.

Have a bunch of .mp4 files that I want to convert into mp3 files.
Is there a program I can use that will allow me to do this in batches?

ffmpeg

It also has game saves for countless hours.
And important documents, i sorta need it.
Also lolis.

I have a tablet that has a partition in its internal storage.
I usually move apps to it as it counts as SD storage, but now it's acting up. It seems as if it vanished, it flat out stopped being recognized. It had done this before, but it was usually fixed upon rebooting. Now it's not the case though, after the all reboots I go to the storage tab in settings and for a moment it shows up, but it doesn't get past calculating before is vanishes and only the main partition is left. In its place is left a Mount SD Storage button which isn't greyed out, but it does nothing.

Is it corrupted? Is it dead? Can I do anything about it?
I've gone as far as going into recovery and factory reset and wipe all data but the second partition is still completely gone.
Running 4.2.2 if that matters.

is github actually good for freelancing?

Its gone unless you want to go to jail.
They see loli they will report it to the cops.

This is why you have a secure backup plan.
Its gone

>Using downstream distros is never a good idea.

Downstream isn't the correct term, it's just arch with a bunch of training wheels. How is it insecure?

bump.

or what is a good freelance site

Downstream is LITERALLY the correct word
Manjaro waits WEEKS after a package comes out and waits for ARCH to pass it to their repo's.They are lazy fucks and dont do anything unless arch moves it first after testing repo

What are some good paid torrent sites? With a monthly subscription or whatever. Tired of pirate bay and don't have the autism to be invited to a private tracker.

Yeah lets pay $60 PER MOVIE instead of $60 for access to thousands?

Because games cost a lot of money.

>Manjaro waits WEEKS after a package comes out and waits for ARCH to pass it to their repo's.They are lazy fucks and dont do anything unless arch moves it first after testing repo
BECAUSE ITS SUPPOSED TO BE A STABLE DISTRO YOU FAT FUCK HOLY SHIT. TRY USING THE LTS KERNEL ON ARCH AND YOU'LL SEE THE SAME FUCKING BEHAVIOUR OR DO YOU FUCKING SUGGEST EVERY SINGLE UPDATE GETS PUSHED AND BREAKS EVERYONE IN HALF HUH?

buumpppp. someone please.

I've lost all my motivation
I start projects and then I drop them

HOW do I get back my motivation?

You're a fucking faggot I hope you get the cops called on you.

Give away all your money to charity. Let the threats from your bank about your owing owerdraft motivate you.

They dont push SECURITY updates.So patch 5.4.7.-3 fixes SECURITY issues,it sits there on manjaro FOR WEEKS.
>breaks everything
This literally never happens.Read the front page when big packages get pushed.Fix your fucking configs when packages are updated and things change.Its YOUR system,be responsible for it

l love you too

I bought a huge LG TV a while back, and it runs on WebOS 3.0. The home menu has ads splayed on the side of it. Is there any way to remove those completely or just change out WebOS completely?

Yes. Install gentoo on it.

How to save instagram live video replays?

I can already save livestreams with an app called StorySave but how do I save livestream REPLAYS?..

Hey. How do I make .32 bit Windows Xp run at an okay pace?

The 80's/90's had some wicked good shows. Now it's all sucky. WTF Happend?

upgrade to a sdd

Upgrade to an ssd, but if you're running xp chances are your pc will no have sata3, sata2 or even sata1 ports so no matter what you do, it will be still be slow, get a better pc.

I have windows XP compy cause im broke chums. Anyway without spending buckaroos?

What is the Sup Forums approved AIO PC?

This. XP should not be slow on much of anything.
Post Speccy.

My laptop recently updated to windows 10.crap and it completely ruined my sound. The treble is too high and many notes off key, and is all around flat and low volume.
I've tried uninstalling my sound drivers, checking and unchecking everything in my speakers enhancements box, played with every setting there is. Windows says there is nothing wrong with it, I even downloaded the previous version sound driver (RealTek High Definition Audio Device) and no change.
There is a mute key, and when the machine is muted, a little orange light comes on. The mute key still works, but the light does not come on now. Not sure if it helps but the problem might not be the sound driver.

Answer my question nigger

how do i reset it to factory default without the product key?

can I system restore it to the day it was made?

not unless you took a backup from when you first got it

Post a fucking photo of your system or speccy screenshot

>RealTek High Definition Audio Device
it's cancer
use the default AMD High Def audio

They key isn't on the laptop?

bam!

Arch is dogshit for printer drivers.

This will just pick up the OEM generic key that manufacturers use to pre-activate the system.
He would still need the 4 OemBios files to activate a system with that key. The key that should be below the laptop (unless is erased now) its different from this generic key.

Chances are, your manufacturer used a pre-made settings for your audio driver, like from vaio, toshiba, hp, etc
Go to your manufacturer site, enter your model and check for drivers to download, get the ones from 10 or 8 if the formers aren't available and install them.

underneath the laptop? where?

What brand is the laptop?
What model? What OS did it came with?
It should be on the bottom case, sometimes under the battery or below a plastic cover.

insperion notebook 2000's ish windows xp

Should have a coa like this right in the underside.

Thanks, this worked.

I downgraded my s7 with odin, but now it's stuck flashing the samsung logo every few seconds. I tried to boot into recovery mode, but now it's just flashing "recovery booting......" every few seconds.
I fucked up, didn't I?

How do I change the MIDI Soundfont?

Okay so I found this. gonna restart it

> Does anyone have any good recommendations for anti-virus that still supports windows xp?

Is Bluestacks considered safe by Sup Forums? I know it's proprietary but is it going to install shit like malware on my computer? I'm not very technologically literate but I've been trying to avoid things like Google Chrome that tech-savvy people say to avoid when there are safer alternatives, and there's nothing about Bluestacks on the wiki linked in the sticky.

>mpc-hc is dead they said

Can somebody give me a good tutorial on bitcoin? It's entirely possible I'm retarded, but I don't get it at all. I've been reading up on it for about the past month.

Let's say hypothetically I wanted to buy something with Bitcoin. I read on Sup Forums you can buy Xbox Live with Bitcoin (I don't know why you would do this considering they have all your information) so let's use that as an example.

I need to make a wallet. But wallets can be online or offline, but even offline wallets report to the blockchain? So are they offline or not?

How would I get bitcoins in the first place? When the bitcoin meme was just starting I tried to make an account at Coinbase and they wanted a blank check. I don't feel comfortable giving that out, isn't this supposed to be anonymous? Or at least better than using your straight debit card?

I tried to download the bitcoin client but it was like 250GB. I'm on a bandwidth cap being in Ameristan, this isn't a go. Do these people who use bitcoin on their cell phones walk around with a 250GB install? Big microSD cards?

Basically help.

Good budget tablet? I want to play some 3D games on it. I can sacrifice visual fidelity for price, as long as they run fine.

It is only going to get shitty spelling correction updates. No new features.

Will Intel ever recover?

Only faggots and meme-freetards will tell you that.
MPC-hc is still king of media players.

Lolwat. Rome murdered the shit out of the stupid question armies with their superiorly organized armies and managed to beat the stupid questions at sea despite the stupid questions being the major naval power of the era and the Roman having never had a navy before, after this stupid questions completely surrendered to Rome. Hamilcar Barca, a stupid question general was so butthurt over this, he made is sons swear to hate Rome forever, and fucked off to Spain.

40 years later Hannibal convinces stupid questions that war with Rome was a good idea again, and then dragged a bunch of Elephants over the Alps and rampaged around Italy for a while being ignored by the Romans who sent Scipio Motherfucking Africanus to Africa, which was named after him that's how badass he was, and beat the shit out of the stupid questions so bad they call Hannibal back, where Scipio trounced him at Zama. Rome then made stupid questions their bitch, and sent Hannibal packing to Asia where he died a lonely old man.

Rome then destroyed stupid questions cause they just felt like it one day and stupid questions were a bunch of Jews anyway.

My first ever interview for a junior web developer position is tomorrow. I haven't talked to a normal human being outside of my family since I graduated in May. How do I bullshit this? Especially with no knowledge of Ruby or Node.js (listed as preferred on the job listing) and only a couple summers of semi-useful job experience

Why is my upload speed on Deluge so slow? Only uploading at 20-50 Kib/s whereas my connection should allow for around 2.5 MiB/s

Because Java is absolute shit. Have you tried using another torrent client?

Please respond, I need to know how to fix this asap

Can I use these for my speakers?

>Java
deluge is python and uses libtorrent for the actual torrenting.

Can you get into fastboot to flash a new recovery?

just tried it on transmission and it's still crap.

how come its a lot more than 64??

each number is 4 bit, so it should only be able to map up to 2x4x8

I think he just means the developers are packing up shop.

Aint nobody giva fuck about a handbra.

Yeah, but everywhere I look is some premium bullshit that makes a 2gb download 7 hours, and I need to be somewhere in 2 hours. I found a few that are only taking one hour, but just to be safe I'd need more alternatives.

Why is my 1440p screen heaps blurry unless I am playing a game? Like, if I am just browsing the web, the web browser will look heaps pixellated but in game it looks fresh af.

What am I doing wrong? I haven't installed drivers for the monitor, but last time I did, all that happened it just switched the screen from 60 to 144hz

what are pgp keys and how do I start using them to encrypt my emails

debian stretch mate 1.16
how do i turn off the screensaver?

PGP is a assymetric encryption standard. You encrypt outgoing emails with the public key of the recipient. You can also sign outgoing mails with your private key and the recipient can use your public key to verify that is was signed with you key. Public keys a distrubuted via key servers and ad-hoc personal means. How you actually use it is generally down to how the addon for your mail client works.

pkill xscreensaver?

I meant turn it off forever

what addon should I use for thunderbird?
