WHERE CAN i BUY THIS?!

Why would this happen?
Some of my entries in the start menu are greyed out, clicking on them still works but it's irritating.

Why is the native extension not auto-scrolling tho? Shit

Considering it's a 10 year old Dell, I assume eBay.

In batch (shit cmd windows) how can i print spaces between variables?
I tried this and many other ways without success:

set "spaces= "
echo (echo | set /p=%spaces%>>test.txt)

I didn't see a Completely Retarded Thread, so perhaps my question is most suited here.
I trying to learn more about computer architecture, and the book I just picked up says:
"The examples in this book are based on Intel-compatible processors (called "IA32" by Intel and x86 colloquially) running C programs on Unix or Unix-like OSs."
My computer is running on an AMD. Does this mean the book is now useless to me?

Pirated w7. How to generate a key for it?

For the past week almost every night I've gotten power outages for some reason and I was wondering if it is possible that this caused any damage to my computer, especially my GPU. My PC is underperforming in more demanding games which ran fine before a few weeks. Can power outages hurt my pc?

I'm buying a chair. Any recommendations? Shill your chairs. Should I get the DX racer gaymen chair?

>Does this mean the book is now useless to me?
No, AMD supports x86, thats the whole point of modern CPU shitstorm.

Yes they can but they are usually more catastrophic, get an UPS it might fix your problem and it will definitely prevent new ones.

What's up,


If u were more scrutiny while playing with yourself, I wouldn't write dis message. I don't think that playing with yourself is extremely bad, but when all colleagues, relatives and friends receive video record of it- it is undoubtedly {bad news.

I placed malisious soft on a porn site which you have visited. When the target tap on a play button, device starts recording the screen and all cameras on your device begins working.

Moreover, soft makes a remote desktop supplied with key logger function from your device , so I could collect all contacts from ur e-mail, messengers and other social networks. I've chosen this e-mail cuz It's your working address, so u should read it.

I think that 320 usd is pretty enough for this little false. I made a split screen vid(records from screen (u have interesting tastes ) and camera ooooooh... its awful AF)

So its ur choice, if u want me to delete this compromising evidence use my bitcoin wallet address-

You have one day after opening my message, I put the special tracking pixel in it, so when you will open it I will know.If ya want me to show u the proofs, reply on this message and I will send my creation to five contacts that I've got from ur device.

P.S. You are able to complain to police, but I don't think that they can solve ur problem, the inquisition will last for several months- I'm from Belarus - so I dgf LOL

>What are the chances this is a legit threat to me?

Oh, cool. Thank you. Would you mind filling me in on this shitstorm?

good linux distro for creating? I need a workstation for project management and media tools but it has to protect my shit. Something I'll feel inspired using also no Arch shits radioactive.

Should I buy a a previous model of a laptop just so I can get started on my career or wait until I have enough funds to get a slightly better model
Like, I'm talking some from 2011-12 instead of 13-14
Specifically MacBook Pro because I want to develop for iOS and I figure, why bother running a virtual machine or emulating iOS when that's just going to take time and put more effort on whatever computer I get

Its the regular fanboys war between intel and amd they both sell CPUs for the same customer, this year Amd launched Ryzen and Sup Forums exploded because it blows intel on every area at a lower price, of course it was to be expected because intel has been rising the prices more than performance on new CPUs.

OpenSuse or debian with KDE

>OpenSuse or debian with KDE
Sweet i was thinking of going debian but why KDE? I've only ever used Gnome (ubuntu).

What's the difference between enabling Anti-Ablock Killer via ublock origin and having it as a userscript?

How do I play videogames on my television?

You have to use them both for it to work

Is this a good gaming PC for my son?

do you have a HDMI cable

0

Yes but why does that matter?

checking for updates for qbittorrents search engine plugins throws me an error saying it can't reach the server?

do you have a computer capable of playing games?

and a cable to connect it to your television?

KDE has better tools than Gnome by default for example dolphin, kate, okular, konsole,etc...

Maybe, maybe not, the CPU its really old, sure it will work for gaming paired with that GPU but it will bottleneck on anything else. Check out these builds as a baseline for what to look for logicalincrements.com/

why does windows decide to fuck with my computer and run indexing and stupider services when I'm trying to game?

fuck bill gates

Why would I need a computer to play videogames on my television?

Bump, please help.

my usb port seems to not be working
sound is going thru my headphones but the mic isnt detected and my headphones are not detected under playback devices
i plugged in a flash drive to see if it'd recognize it and it didnt
google didnt fucking help and im using windows 8.1

Bump for this one I guess
I've also been considering running a return abuse stint
It's not technically illegal to buy and return product all the time, but it's frowned upon
I just don't want to be stuck with a low end computer that isn't capable of handling the progress that I hopefully make

hey addon maker user, if you are still there I tried making the changes you suggested to my userscript. now the shortcut icons always load but I still have problems with the quickreply listener. sometime it listens correctly to Sup Forums X, sometimes not. maybe forcing my script to run at the end of the document can help?

Disgusting

2 questions.


0. does x370 Krait Gaming (am4) + R7 1700 support vt-d?

1. Will the RX 580 vidya card work well with openSUSE:tumbleweed?


I think the x370 chipset typically supports vt-d, but I'm not able to verify this specific board/cpu via $search_engine

are you living here posting the same reddit meme?

i cant use mouse3 bottom on windows 10, i got an steelseries rival 300, sometimes i cant even click on the taskbar and i gotta do ctrl alt supr, help me please

>implying anybody will answer me

I saw in my portmaster output that a port I use on a daily basis has no maintainer, and I thought it would be nice to take over and give something back since I've never done anything like that before.
I went through all the porting documentation, and studied the makefiles, and noticed the the port in question actually makes use of an unmaintained branch of the software and is not only way, way behind the latest version, but also packages a bunch of stuff that hasn't been updated for fucking years.
I ended up making and testing a simplified port with just the base software + docs using the newest release without the extra stuff.

Now for the question: is it okay to submit this stripped down port to FreeBSD or will I get laughed off the internet for daring to remove functionality from a port?

Dont use the old port, make a new port with the changes and name it accordingly

try again:

it should now work if the quick reply already exists when the script runs (forgot to check for it)

What's with those something-syncs being discussed everywhere? Am I retarded that I have never noticed any screen tearing issues?

That's what I did. So I'm okay to proceed?

Yes

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it

Excellent, thank you for the piece of mind.

Is Thinderbird bad

finally. from now on I'll only use if/else statements in javascript fuck this is wizardry

>bad
Best

>installer gives me an error
I swear I put things in all the fields it asked

My PC specifications say ultra ATA 100. Can I use any IDE? Must I use ultra 100? If my connector is 40 holes, and the hard drive has 39 plus 4 after a little space at the end, will that work with my PC?

How do I generate vp8/ vp9 webm thumbnails on Windows 7? I have a program that only generate vp8 which I installed by recommendation when webm support first came to Sup Forums, is not treating me so well now what with ignoring vp9...

Looks like one of those dumb people filter scams, like the Nigerian Prince ones. Pretty funny though.

My PC keeps crashing at random points (possibly when watching YouTube), then displays "power surges were detected on previous boot". I tried cleaning it and got out the majority of the dust, but somehow that's made it more frequent (2-3 times a day).

I'm running Arch Linux, and it's been stable on Arch for the last 2 years; these issues just started happening. It also happens occasionally in Windows.

How would I find the cause of the issue?

I don't understand how this happens. Is there a way to save myself and possibly others from this hell?

lmfao, it just means the seeder isn't online, you hentaibaka.

What's this type of connector called?

bump.

Alright, this is the problem.

>Turn on laptop
>Windows loader starts
>once its done laptop resets

Same with the windows installer.

What could it be?

I got wanna try Win 10 and got the LTSB version I've heard people talk about on Sup Forums a lot.

Any advice for unbloating and removing telemetry as much as possible?

Faulty PSU.

I'm currently using an old W7 repo that was activated with the Windows Loader years ago. If I were to install W10 would the key legitimize the W10 install?

have you tested using a differente PSU?
sounds like a PSU or house electricity issue, get a PSU from a reputable brand

Guys, can I easily transfer files between two Windows 10 PCs using an ethernet cable?

If not, what's the best way to transfer about 500GB in 10 hours or less?

What I have:
>really shitty wifi, about 6MB/s transfer rate leading to 20 hours until completion
>a router that's kinda far from my desktop, and some relatively short ethernet cables
>a ~55GB USB stick
I'd love to just connect both computer with an ethernet cable, but I have absolutely no clue whether that would work, or how to get it to work if it requires any setup. If not, I guess I'll have to drag some stuff around to arrange a wired LAN.

>inb4 wangblows 10
Yeah, yeah I know

>cant use mouse3
you must have it programmed to something in the Steelseries program. try connecting the mouse to a different PC and see if mouse3 works.
i have the same mouse and i never had any problem with it

Group policy changes.

I unironically came to ask the same question, except between win7 and win10. I'm pretty sure you can create a local network or some shit and just copy/paste the files either over wifi or via an ethernet cable, but I've never done it before.

Nevermind I got it.

Get a router and connect both computers to it.
Share stuff trough local network.
It doesn't need to be connected to internet.

I want to write a smartphone app that downloads some numbers via API and does some simple graphing based on this. I currently do this on an excel spreadsheet but would prefer to have this on my phone.

Can anyone recommend a language or framework for this. It will be more first real project although I did learn some c++ about 10 years ago.

>want to do this
>can find only one ethernet cable
>it's broken
>I clearly remember having 4 spare ones a few months ago

You can create a shared folder (properties -> sharing on a folder), then on the other pc in windows explorer click "network" on the left-side panel, find your first computer, log in and you'll find the shared folder. That's what I'm doing over wifi.

My question is specifically about NOT using a router, but just connecting the two pcs with an ethernet cable in a sort of ad-hoc network. Could that work at all?

(Me again, I got my answer a bit ago)

0. yes
1. amd sucks, get nvidia.

I'll need to do some serious shuffling to get my desktop connected to the router. See , is there any way to do it without the router?

More ram does not give you more game FPS period.
What dual channel ram will do assuming you will go with two 8GB DDR3 sticks is more bandwidth which will speed up rendering videos and some scientific calculations/specific loads.
Faster ram does not give you more FPS in games unless you use integrated GPU like IntelHD since that gpu is using the system ram to operate.
Get another stick and dont think about it.

I just bought a 144hz monitor but the only port that supports 144hz is the DVI-D dual link port. My laptop though only has a mini displayport. Can I connect them both through a converter for 144hz?

>bucket seat for desktop usage
>500 pesos on top
Be careful hile driving the internet those fast corners can really roll your body.

>smartphone
I'm assuming Android, in which case just do it in Java and download the official Android Studio IDE. It's such a simple app, and using a different language will be painful, so just stick to the standard stuff.

For iOS, their development ecosystem is about as gated as their user ecosystems (along the lines of needing a mac to be able to develop iOS apps). There are third-party tools and frameworks that let you bypass that though. You'll need to do some research.

What's the monitor model?

BENQ Zowie XL2411

How do I overclock DDR4?

A good guide for noobs would be great

Oh my bad, didn't read properly.

I want to record from my old consoles, but I heard that capture cards cause input lag or some kind of delay. Can I grab an hdmi splitter and just split the input to the capture card and tv? Capture card won't have output connected.

Why would you buy a 144Hz over dvi? 144 should be through display port. I would return that model.
And avoid TN panels

IPS 144hz monitors cost atleast 700 euros. That's the most budget 144hz monitor and it's good enough for what I do.

Thanks senpai but I don't care about games whatsoever; to specify it further
>do two different sets of 2x 4GB sticks have to have the same speed?
>is the speed relevant at all outside of gaming?
>or is it best just to get fresh 2x 8GB sticks with decent speed?

>do two different sets of 2x 4GB sticks have to have the same speed?
No,the faster set will donclock itself to match the other pair.
Sometimes you will have to do this manually from BIOS and match the setting on both pairs.

>is the speed relevant at all outside of gaming?
no

>>or is it best just to get fresh 2x 8GB sticks with decent speed?
Dont waste money for nothing,just upgrade what you have.

Found it. JST connector.

Thank you
