HELP

WHY DOWNLOAD SO BAD

I'll start:

I've got a crappy Acer laptop that's only a few years old. It works just fine for what I need but recently I can hear the internal hdd start up for a bit and then stop. Never done this before a few months ago and it doesn't noticeably affect performance. Should I be worried?

Clearly your ISP has detected all the [illegal pornography] you've been seeding so they've ot you in a chokehold.

How do I change a static IP? Have already searched on google but everything I've tried didn't work. Is it possible? I'm not american, by the way.

how do i get her to like me?

give her cocaine

This is why we need net neutrality.

>honestly thinking either of them do anything heavier than weed

i don't know who they are, so I defaulted to cocaine

Swap it out with an SSD and quit buying Acer laptops if you're using one enough to wear it out that fast. They weren't designed for power users.

>I'm not american, by the way.

Thanks, that narrows it down to exactly anywhere in the entire rest of the world. Depending on your machine's configuration and how you're connected to the internet, it may or may not be possible.

but really how do i get her to like me?

>hear the internal hdd start up for a bit and then stop
botnet telemetry install gentoo

Will give it a shot. Tell me about it.

Why isn't this illegal?
Just try to visit this page without any ad blocker or script blocking extension (YES, IT'S DANGEROUS, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED): rapidvideo.com/v/FK8H3GZ4KF&q=480p

I mean, FUCK. And then greedy ass corporations complain when we block ads.
Unbelievable...

what

how to use google api?

why it so fucking complicate?

>he doesn't turn everything off and spend at least an hour creeping on Facebook and skimming TMZ every day

Better find a fork, son, you're done.

Im looking to learn by building a simple web app "text adventure"

should I use C# asp.net? or django python?

what are the pros and cons to both?

Pay for a course or give up. You were obviously too frightened of that big, scary liberal education to learn how to learn things.

I'm getting a crazy amount of popups on Torrent sites only using both Ublock Origin and disconnect, none of them seem to stop it. Anything else I could try? Preferably not NoScript

wtf

Have you tried clicking?

What you're doing isn't complicated enough for the differences to matter, it's just syntax differences for simple prompts.

update filter lists, make sure whatever regional lists that might apply are installed

you can block javascript using umatrix

If not NoScript, you could use uMatrix. But why not use NoScript? It's dope.

yeah i want to make a lewd text adventure with some pictures and sound. I will probably just use c# because I am most used to that

If someone uses a single files that is MIT licensed, does that mean his entire project is now under that license?

I have transferred a folder containing 10 folders each containing hundreds of files from my hard drive disk to a USB flash drive. It seems that all files have been transffered and when I click properties I can see the size is the same, but the "disk size" of the usb flash drive is considerably greater than the size of the folder in the hard disk, it's like a 10% or something difference.

Why?

Files smaller than 512 bytes still take up at least 512 bytes because the filesystem does its accounting in 512 byte blocks. (Or 4096 if they've switched over to the new size.)
Also, space it taken in recording the name of the file, the date stamps, and permissions, etc.

Which works better, two sticks of 8GB or one 16GB stick? I have a fairly old mobo (P8Z68-V LE)

Is it possible to assign multiple default programs for ZIP and RAR files, depending on its contents? Reason I ask this is because if I know that a ZIP/RAR only contains image files (JPG, PNG, etc.), I will want to open it with an image viewer. If I know that they contain anything else (MP3, MKV, EXE, etc.), I will want to open it the usual way (WinRAR, etc.).

My current situation is that I can only have one set up as the default program, and if I want to open it with a different program, I would have to select it manually via context menu. Is there any way for the computer to do all the thinking for me, so I can just double-click the RAR and it opens with the most appropriate program?

Thank you.

If your cpu has enough channels then 8+8 is faster than 16.
16 is nicer to have because you can pair it up with another 16 someday without having to try to sell 8gb sticks.

The same

No

I expect you'll have to write your own progran to inspect the contents of the archive and launch the appropriate program.

Cool, cheers

I noticed you can still post in archived threads from the archive itself, are the archives just as active as live threads?

Well, at least I got some closure. Thanks guys.

So I think it's ridiculous that in Windows (at least pre-7 Windows), the "Details" view of folders shows file sizes in kilobyte denominations. Is there any way to change this into more reasonable denominations, such as megabytes or even gigabytes?

freshman in college right now

Why the fuck does this keep happening?

but my upload is fine

my download is shit

how does that even work

(I think I figured it out, it's my router cocking up somehow)

dir

What is the file even called? Is it in that directory?

yeah it's in the same directory and everything

it's just "file.bin", I zipped it to see if it would change it and still no dice

What the fuck is this thing on the Aorus logo?

type file.bin

Lower jaw...

Should i buy a zipit z2 to put openwrt onto or should i buy a latitude 2120 instead?

Maybe a permissions issue?

No, not unless you use an alternative explorer/shell that has the functionality: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_shell_replacement

yeah its a permissions thing, I have it in C: thats why

>type-ing out a binary
no

What could be terrible about this TV for this price? Should I wait for an okay Black Friday sale online? I can also only shop where PayPal is accepted.

I don't think anyone knows.

Fucking retarded and forgot link newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=89-651-010

...

That's his arm, he's flexing

Really? An arm? God that logo is weird.

>sent some bitcoins to a market address via Paxful
>number of bitcoins in Paxful is now -0.00015369 because i wasn't paying attention
Should I be concerned?

ok it's still not working, even when I change install dir and run command prompt as admin

where's the underlining

2x8gb will give you higher bandwidth, though the difference really only shows up in benchmarks. Are you sure your board even supports a 16GB DIMM?

why not? I've done it many times.

whats the point of lisp. why would anyone learn it. I have literally only ever heard people mention it here, on Sup Forums.

y u retarded?
y spend so much money on HW when any (almost) router can run openwrt

or don't be a nigger and get checkpoint/forti/sophos

What's an isometric library? I heard the term earlier but all I get when I google it are things related to isometric graphics.

motherboard (asus z170 mk1) temperature rises +20-30C for half a second every few seconds, accompanied by my GPU (asus 1080) fans spinning up despite the cpu being near idle. it's doing this in my screenshot where it says 50C, it's actually idling at about 30C.

im actually very tired of hearing my fans cycling up and down and i'm wondering if anyone else has experience with this issue. this motherboard temperature graph is nearly identical to my CPU's. that doesn't seem right to me.

this has been a problem with or without the overclock

If you leave it in BIOS does it do the same, or only in Windows?

Boot it to an Ubuntu 16.04 install disc and see whether the problem continues in Ubuntu.

I just want it to meme around with for fun, its like $30 should i get the zipit or the netbook which is usable but less fun.

I've often heard people say that it's easy to get Windows 10 keys for $5 each but no one ever says how do buy them. Anyone know?

Are standing desks like the varidesk a meme? They don't seem to make you any healthier.

I have a NTFS formatted 1.5TB WD USB 3.0 HD hooked up to my TPLink router that I use as a network drive.

I just noticed, but everything on appears to be compressed.

See pic related. I dont see any compression options on the drive properties, or through the TPLink admin portal.

What is the cause of this?

Kinguin. You can still do the upgrade trick for the next couple months though.

tech.slashdot.org/story/17/11/08/1711246/chrome-will-whack-website-bait-and-switch-tactics What's the next move for websites? A lot of sites (example: Gelbooru) use this tactic
>open new tab with link you wanted
>change current tab to ad page
>close ad page
to fuck over not only their users, but also their advertising partners via false clicks.

>just got a new windows 10 machine
>updates just installed
>mysterious processes have been using 100% of my disk ever since the computer booted up and I have no clue what they are.

Holy fuck I can tell I'm going to hate this adjustment. How do people live with this shit?

Jump ship to Windows 7 and be happy?

How is it the 21st century if its only the 2000s?

Does anyone use IRC?

I'm using firefox beta and when I open Sup Forums it forgets my style selection choice. Even when I set it again when I open a page with say middle mouse click it forgets the style again. This is the second time it's happened and the previous it fixed itself in an update but it's come back. Anyone know what's causing it? I don't have any addons that could cause it.

it does not have that issue in the BIOS. only in Windows.

Its the year 1, what century is it?

The zeroth century because less than 100 years have passed.
If you go by your logic, 100 before Christ would be the 0th century, and 200 before Christ would be the minus first century.

If you are in the year 1, you are currently in the first century.
You cant have a 0 century.

I have a series of python scripts that all work perfectly individually but give me errors when I run them together. As best as I can figure, the problem can only be caused by the fact that they each pull information from different json files and the script is getting confused as to which one it's supposed to be using. Do I need to define them differently or is something else going on?

Do they make cat6 couplers? Does it matter?

I cut my cable too short, and crimped the ends with cat6 rj45

Another cable run isn't possible.

it's not happening in safe mode either.

Sounds like a driver or HAL issue. Format and reinstall.

Yes you can.

One century is one hundred years.

In the year 1, less than one hundred years have passed.

So, which integer comes before 1?

You are experiencing the first century as you live it in year one.When you reach year 101 you are in the second century

>Format and reinstall.
can't be bothered

i'll ask asus support

When you start eating an apple you are eating your first apple. You are not eating your zeroth apple.

>Asus support
Good luck, you have no idea the hell that awaits you.

you say that like it's my first time dealing with bullshit. this isn't my first rodeo, my familiar XY chromosome.

here's my tldr scenario

>pc got rekt
>formatted
>tried ubuntu
>nope
>back to win 7
>ssd with ubuntu partion
>hhd that's possibly wiped, or will be

my question is this, is there a way to command ubuntu to format the partion so that my drives are completely wiped on start up? or do i need to fucking install windows, and format the ubuntu partition from outside. i just want to fucking install windows without dodging partitions and shit

Boot a liveusb and set your shit up
