What is the most noob friendly uploading service to use? I was trying to send my uncle something through zippyshare and he was too dumb to not click on the ads and install software.

A pomf clone.
Example, pomf.cat or catbox.moe.
That way when he clicks the link the image will open or the file will download directly.
Also install uBlock Origin on his computer.

On linux terminal it is ctrl-shift-c ctrl-shift-v. If you install utubnu it will solve your issue.

Sadly what im using doesn't have a Linux port.

What's a good ereader that you can sideload your own books?

I want to install ofono on an arm laptop through aur. however the pkbuild for ofono doesn't have armv7. What do I do?

any with calibre.
kobo if you don't want the swindle, aka kindle.

What OS are you using?
For win10 you can enable CMD properties. For lower versions: ALT + SPACE > DOWN ARROW to EDIT > RIGHT ARROW to bring up context menu > PASTE (enter).
You know, you can google for these sort of questions, eventhough this is SQT (and eventhough Google modifies results - even hides comletely - depending on cache, search history etc). That's what I just did myself, and took me 2 mins to find the solution.

you can enable keyboard pasting via CMD properties*

Windows 7.
Isn't there a faster way? i might aswell plug in a mouse and use right click and then paste but i would like to just use the keyboard in a fast way.

What kobo would you recommend. I don't want to spend more than $100

glo hd is great, got it for 40 usd through craigslist and it's pretty great.
miss the hardware buttons that my previous ereaders have had, but the light is nice.
would look around for the good price/condition one in my local craigslist/equivalent.

Early 2018 it'll be worth pennies a coin

Got one of these while drinking. Will keep it for portable file storage, but do you think it's worth throwing a portable OS on it? Anyone here have any experience with it? Not worth the trouble?

Same mistake twice on not googling yourself.

ill keep that in mind. thank you.

Best email client?

I have a 64gb drive that I used multibootusb to load up multiple *nux distros and test them all out.

You can even allocate space to store files between each distro

Yeah I know but I was wondering if keeping something with gparted and a couple rescue tools was worth while to put onto a small partition I guess.

Thunderbird for desktop
K9 Mail for ANdroid

Best free softwares to make Youtube videos?

That wasn't just a stupid question it was a bad one. What DO you plan on doing? Most laptops with two video-out built in made after 2008 should more than suit your needs if you're just browsing the web and stuff.

plz help i am fucking idiot
i pulled my gpu out too hard and then plastic slot came out, so now that slot is gone.
i have 3 pciex16 slots, the broken one (x16), a x8 and a x4. i want to put my gpu in the pciex16 x4 slot because thats the only other way to fit my sound card in as well, but im not sure if it will work ( monitor is fine and hooked up to it). My computer won't recognize my gpu at all. What do?
Mobo:Gigabyte Intel Z77 LGA 1155
GPU: XFX 7970 3GB

why does my dumbass pc start lagging if i play videos on my second monitor while playing vidya on my main screen

cuz its fuckin dumb, u gotta upgrade to make it better and smarter..

its a 4770k and a gtx 1080ti with 16GB RAM and its stupid as fuck like why wont you just work you piece of shit

Who is she and why does everyone post her pictures on /sqt/ so often?
Did she ask something stupid once?

I've had ADSL for two weeks now. For the first week my connection speed on the router page said 5000 kilobits per second and I was getting a pretty sweet ~500KiB download speed. Then the connection dropped out and i reset the modem and it then said my connection speed was 11000 kilobits per second and I was getting 1.2MiB download speed, which was great.
then yesterday it cut out again and now I'm only getting 900 kilobits per second and a 100KiB download speed. I've tried restarting it several times but am unable to get back to decent speeds. Is this normal? It was all going so well, so smooth and now it's down the crapper.

Is your 2nd screen connected to your IGPU(Motherboard) or your GPU?

you probably broke the gpu too

Is it worth my time to overclock my gpu for gayming? powercolor red devil rx580 8gb

Yes, can usually get you something like 10% extra performance.

Call your provider, or remember if you have modified something on your PC, router, anything. Happened to me many times and then I figured out that I've channel router channel or installed some new retarded antivirus that blocks connections "for security measures".
You haven't even said if you are using router or something.

Both monitors are connected to the gtx 1080ti. one is a 144hz monitor and the other is a 60hz

Does anyone know any good free DVD burning software on Windows that works with .mkv files?

I'm going to have to RMA these, aren't I?

Why not just download cracked Nero by torrent?

How can I add contacts to address book in Thunderbird?
But not to the program address book, but to the email account address book, so I'll have the same contacts even if I login to Thunderbird on another PC.

it's a router-modem device.
i check connection settings on it and it says the line attenuation is at 39db downstream, and when the speeds were 5000kilobits p/s i saw it as 32db
also the noise margin used to be mid twenties db and now it's 11-12db
changed no settings and i can't recall plugging in any new electrical devices which could mess up anything..

>Recommending malware for basic tasks

Where could I find a reliable torrent for it?

Imgburn is better and free.

>bitching about someone recommending malware when there's no alternative to recommend except even bigger malwares
thepiratebay.org/torrent/7287345/Nero_7_Premium_7.9.6.0___Serial

First step is to connect from another PC/laptop and check if the connection is better or same.

wondershare.com/top-list/open-source-dvd-burners.html

Yes.

Also wtf DDR3 ryzen motherboard? the fuck are you doing user.

Are powerline adapters worth it these days? Last one I got did the speed a wifi card could but it's been some years.

Sorry mate, Thunderbird is not what I asked for. It can't add contacts to address books of specific email accounts, so it's basically not the best. This is why I asked for best.

Memtest is reading them wrong. Damn, it'll take forever for them to ship to my shithole.

Did you test both sticks on their own?
There is a chance only one is damaged.

Won't they want the full kit back for an RMA?

Watch HD movies while running Tableau

The newer ones have improved, but it still depends a lot on your wiring. I'd mainly use them if you've got too much distance/blockages for wifi to work well.

Why are PC parts so fucking expensive? This shit is fucking insane, no wonder there are so many consolefags. If you want a remotely passable PC you are spending $1000+
Also how the fuck does anyone get by on 8GB of RAM? It's literally not even enough to browse the fucking internet.

what do you mean remotely passable? how high are your standards buddy.

Ignore this If your router's admin page is telling you that your connection has trained down from 11000 kbps to 900, then that means there's some interference between you and your ISPs DSLAM (the origin of your internet on their end). The change in margin is consistent with that. Call them up. They may have messed up something in the line that they need to fix. Alternatively it may be some kind of unavoidable temporary interference, like thunderstorms.

You need a current gen GPU. A 1060 is going to run you at least $300, and that's bare minimum. You really need a 6GB 1060 or a 1070, which is closer to $400-500. Then you need to spend $150 on 16GB of RAM, $200-300 on a motherboard, EASILY $300 on a CPU. We're already at $950 AT LEAST, and that's before factoring in your PSU, SSD/HDD, a case if you don't already have one, fans and aftermarket heatsinks. You're not going to build a modern rig that is capable of gaming for under $1000.

So I know Kaby Lake and Pascal support PlayReady 3.0 for UHD 4k, but does AMD? Can't find any info,

Ignore this ISP may say everything is ok (after all, everything might be ok concerning them). And thunderstorms and everything may end, and your connection would still be slower.

if i keep the windows 10 upgrader application on my PC will i be able to use it in 2020? i've already rolled back to win7 twice however

You're in way over your head here. He's not dealing with a LAN problem. His connection is negotiating a top speed that's slower than it was before, and he's already tried resetting. Unless there's a physical problem between his modem and the phone pole outside that he personally has the ability to fix, this is something he needs to call his ISP about. They absolutely might dodge the issue, but it's pretty much up to them to fix it.

okay so I live in student housing and there's two wifis, 2.4ghz and 5ghz. on my phone I can connect to both networks, but on my desktop I can only connect to the 2.4ghz. the 5ghz network doesn't show up with a password, even though i know it has one (when i connect with my phone it shows a password icon on it). is there a way to connect to the network by using the id? my phone should have the address right?

pls help

I don't but I need hardwire sometimes, but not too often. Any recommended ones to try buying?

Is there anything better than the LG G6 within the budget of 500$/€? Was really leaning towards the S8, but the fingerprint sensor placement is just abysmal sadly.

Pirate vegas pro

Does your desktop's wifi adapter support 5ghz?

>are there any non-shit vpns?
mullvad

>are torrents safe?
if youre in trumpnation then most likely your ISP is gonna rape you, everywhere else nobody usually gives a shit, but I would suggest that you use some kinda server in france or a seedbox to do the torrenting and then just stream it via plex or setup ftp to get the data safely.

no idea about the rest

yeah I use 5ghz at home. i just realized my wifi software isn't in my task bar. ill check

if I put my phone in a ziplock bag, can I take it into the shower with me without damaging the phone?

My apartment is wired with coax cables. I have my modem and router upstairs connected to my computer but I want a wired connection downstairs too. Cable provider gave me a modem but I can't have more than 1 activated. Any ideas besides a super long ethernet cable going down the stairs to get a wired connection downstairs?

On firefox for mobile, android, when tapping the #'s to jump to posts on this site, tapping images to confirm captchas, and tapping on other small buttons (so far I've realized only on other sites) it won't respond / register until I've tapped multiple times or very slowly. It's annoying. Is there any way to fix this?

Powerline adaptor

maybe it was just because I didn't buy a name brand but the last time I tried one it made this insane high pitched whine whenever it was on

I'd double check that your desktop has actually connected to a 5ghz network before. Then uninstall the network adaptor, and reinstall it with drivers from a different source (windows update, manufacturer website, generic etc)

How do I apply thermal paste to my CPU? It's overheating and crashing my PC when I try to overclock it. I don't understand this pasting shit and I don't wanna fuck my shit up.

Yeah that doesn't sound normal. I think you just got your hands on some shit electronics. Powerlines ability reliability varies a lot between the newer/higher end ones and the old shit. It matters most if your wiring is shit.

>are there any non-shit vpns?
surfeasy.com is free
>are torrents safe?
Yes, as long as you have antivirus installed and you aren't downloading some files that have been uploaded the same day and they're named "facebook password hacker".
As for the ISP rape part, you can always use alternative torrent trackers, same way you can use alternative Adblock Plus addons to skip websites that say "please disable adblock in order to view content".

Torrenting media files is safe. Torrenting software is pretty much putting yourself on the shortlist to be in a russian botnet. AVs are nowhere near up to the task of filtering through that shit. You'll probably kill all the visible malware, but there's no way I'd trust a PC with several pirated programs on it to not be keylogged.

ok so the program i had that enabled 5ghz isn't on my pc anymore. i just tried reinstalling it and windows is blocking it, saying the publisher isn't allowed

how the fuck do i allow it

Program? You shouldn't need some special program for that shit. This isn't some PSP with hidden feature that get unlocked with a special crack. Link what you're talking about.

this is what I'm using, and the 5ghz never worked until I started using mediatek.com/products/broadbandWifi/rt2870#product-downloads

the manufacturer drivers for it didnt include windows 10

thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-powerline-networking-kit/

id load it with movies, 60 movies in your pocket is pretty sweet

Right site, but I think this is the one that matches up with your card

mediatek.com/products/broadbandWifi/rt5572

Wrong. Every possible botnet detected and entered into the AV database after a certain time. (trust me, I've made ones myself, I've payed FUD crypters, and they're detected after some time.
When you are downloading media, you are downloading it sooner after it is uploaded - for example a new episode of Twin Peaks, it airs on TV, you are excited, and you download it.
You don't download right away some new software after it is published :) Plus you can download older versions for which the botnets have been purged looong ago.
The faster the botnets spread, the better they are, the faster they're detected and updated into the AV databse.

>Thinking that annon's "babys first botnet" is a solid representation of all the fuck that's out there

Thanks, senpai.
