You see, since the last thread is only on page 5, that makes you a jackass. As well, if this takes off now, the bias to answer recent questions in the threa doesn't get the chance to happen to recent ones, since you just undermined that. So fuck you.

What's the best Windows edition for gaming?

Still Win7?

It's at 300, it's going to go to 10 in the matter of minutes, it's just safer user.

Personally from what I heard, windows 10 is stable as hell, but 7 is just for comfy which I can't blame people for.

What's a good RSS downloader? I wanna direct download manga/podcasts/files directly from RSS feeds. qBittorent and Deluge have the same funcitonality but for torrents. No viewing articles, just automatic downloads.

the recent windows 7 update killed my computer (caused it to blue screen on startup) so i had to wipe everything and just did a fresh install of windows 10, but i don't have a product key now. what do/can i do? haven't found a working product key yet

I produced two images demonstrating that you are lying to me.

300 means you're in the read dude, go look up at the counter of the last thread. jesus. stop being a little dipfuck

It's on autosage, mate.

Unfortunately the second was too large to upload; I should've checked that beforehand and maybe tried optimizing it, but here it is nonetheless:

Nice backpedal. You literally said "it's going to go to 10 in the matter of minutes, it's just safer user", in response to my criticism. Next time don't prematurely cream your pants making a thread that defeats the purpose of itself.

Do you even need a product key? I pirated Window 10 last year sometime and never entered one.

How can I change the background color BEFORE a tab loads in Firefox?

Is the duckduckgo extension malware or useful?

I wasn't sure how fast the thread was going to move. So I took the chance. Who even cares that much? I was bored.

it says i'm not activated and i have a dumb watermark in the corner telling me this is unregistered.

also, i can't change my wallpaper

Can I run a cable from the downstairs modem and plug it into a second modem upstairs to get better WiFi?

My laptops hard drive burned out, it's fucked.
I'm a poor fag and only have $20 in cash.
I keep seeing people make these "$20 pc build" or "$35 gaming pc build" videos, but I'm confused. How the fuck do they find that kind of shit when even a cheap hard drive alone costs $50?

Basically how can I find a hard drive that'll work for just $20

I'd just download WAT Remover. Worked great for me when I was using 7 and I'm pretty sure it's available for Windows 10

Why do you need an extension? Chrome autoadds everything as serach engines and firefox has AddToSearchBar

>KDE
>Gnome
>XFCE
>LXDE

What to install?
Does KDE require many much powah?

Are you me? The recent update just killed startup for me as well

Is there something wrong with KMSpico?

If I have no google apps or accounts at all on my main user account on my phone and create a second user with a google account and apps is my main account protected at all from Google snooping?

gnome is nicer IMO.

Just download MSToolkit from the original soruce.

Google doesn't care about yo user. You'd have to be a person of interest. don't worry about it. They only pay attention to famous people. You're likely not.

Unless you're using a shitty tor browser on your phone and posting about cp and bombs you're not gonna have much to worry about from google.

Dumpster diving.

I'm not doing anything that would attract attention, its more the principle that I don't like the company so I don't want to give them more information about myself 4 3 that they can become a miniscule amount more profitable

When you are trying to cut matted hair from a cat is it ok if you leave a bit at the base? I kinda assume it will grow out and untangle that last bit on its own but I dunno. Seems like a pain to get it all completely to the end and my cat gets squirmy if I'm not quick.

buddy, if google wants to know something about you, guess what THEY ALREADY DO MY FRIEND!

They know your secrets, they know your fetishes. They only use the data to target ads at people.

ok so I was sent onto a wild goose chase of installing windows 7 and using a tool that an user recommended, this tool had nasty ferocious Trojans and ad ware, besides
tb.rg-adguard.net
what is a good way to get windows 7, I'm curious if anyone has a good recommendation .

Gnome is shit

what country has the best internet. best meaning fastest, cheapest and fewest restrictions on users

romania is the fastest on this planet, how ever its the same as the european laws, japan has the fastest and probably the least restrctions. Why do you ask just curious.

:(

I think Korea cause they love league so much

In Japan you can get arrested for torrenting something one time though.

really?? I never knew that. Well use a vpn and you have a chance of not getting caught only a fool goes to jail over torrenting.

and literally all porn is illegal

just trying to figure out where i might move some day

well I'm telling you right now, korea romaina are both bad choices, korea has finger print shit for internet usage, and romainia is a shithole. Are you a euro or American. You could just stay here in the states and choose a state with fibre being more common then regular dsl.

Because of what it might offer? Maybe it will make setting a theme persistent which would otherwise be hard for me to do since I wipe cookies and shit upon exit?

Well i like new hampshires laws in general and im right next to it, so ill probably move there. unless we become australia 2.0 and our internet becomes africa-tier.

ASIN: B075NZLFL9
how do i hack this?
i don't want to have it plugged into my 12v outlet.
i'd prefer to have it run off a 5000mAH powerbank via USB cord
or
off a rechargeable 18650 battery. either way i'm assuming i have to figure out what the device req's and then somehow match that with my plan. how to know what parts to put between my battery and device?

but i never learned much about circuits, power draw, etc... wouldn't even know what specifically to look up.

someone point me in the right direction?

Any CCleaner alternatives? Or is it safe to use CCleaner after that security breach fiasco thingamajing?

When searching for a music torrent, I see "Hi-Res Stereo", "WavPack", and "Lossless" torrents. Which one am I supposed to get?

Why are gtx 1080's and 1080 ti's priced 1.5x to 2x what they normally are?

Everywhere I'm looking the 1080's are either sold out or running for $850+ when I remember them being closer to $500 a couple of months ago? What gives?

There's likely an update [patch] already. I'd say get the technical edition anyways.

Get MP3 192-320. Most common people with normal headphones cannot tell a difference over 192 most of the time. If you have anything for "quality" it's nothing more than a placebo affect and you're fooling yourself user.

Because they are out stock everywhere.
Learn supply and demand.

anyone have a good website for a windows 7 ultimate iso, I'm done with win 10

Christmas is why.
Wait a month or so and they'll come back down.

Where do I check the bitrate on rutorrent?
And why MP3 over flac?

I'm seeing external hard drives for sale a hell of a lot cheaper than just a regular hard drive is.
Is it possible to use an external hard drive as your main hard drive, or open it and get the hard drive out to just put that in your computer?

Forgot images

Yes, the "external" part in HDD is just a plastic shell. Inside of that is a normal 3.5" HDD.

Now that I think about it, is there any real difference between external hdd and a normal one if the ext is cheaper why does it matter? why not get the ext and keep the parts for another hdd later?

anybody??

Why sell a 1tb hard drive in a plastic shell for half the cost of just the 1tb hard drive though?

Document assembly with markdown? How to?

They have to do something with the refurbished HDDs that never sold and wont be used for important stuff.

Idk dude, might wanna check the stats on the hard drives you're comparing. They might have different speeds/manufacturers/warranties and whatnot.

What media player do I use to watch weeb shit on Linux?

MPV.

What GNU/Linux distribution you would recommend for a newbie and why?

My mom is tired from fucking Windows, it's updates and thing.

VLC

Ubuntu
Learn how to install program/configure computer/network settings.

Mint.
Its literally designed for people who are moving from windows.

Install Windows 10 LTSB to your mom and disable updates, windows defender and telemetry.

VLC.
Just werks for me.

mpv

>Ubuntu
I don't like Ubuntu, don't know why, because most of cool settings have no GUI switch.. But still it is better that Windows, at least doesn't update in the middle of work.
>Mint
Maybe I should try it.
>Install Windows 10 LTSB to your mom and disable updates, windows defender and telemetry.
Also an option.
But the problem is in the user, because of crapware and stuff, you know. And non-root user doesn't help it much.

mpv is currently the best media player on any platform.

kys

Any of the Ubuntu flavors

>because most of cool settings have no GUI switch
what?

Meant rutracker not rutorrent

>be me try installing a windows 7 iso from a website an user recommended
>takes me hours to download
>finally get done with download and set up the files for installation
>it fucks up mid way at the windows file expansion process
>it says the iso is corrupted or it has a virus or not from a trusted provider

what do i do now, do i just re install the same iso or do you guys have anything i could install windows 7 ultimate from. Ive done this process 3 times now and it gives the same shit.

Install uBlock Origin to her.
Also Malwarebytes and make a schedule scan to run every week.
And every now and then run Adwcleaner.

Done, a computer for a tech illiterate.

Im 27 with basic knowledge in C and Web Dev. I wanna seriously go into Linux development. I love the philosophy and want to contribute code.

Am I too late?

Where do I begin?

Swap hard drive for solid state, replace 1050 with 1060,1050ti.

Get the GTX 1050Ti.
Get 2x8GB instead 1x16GB RAM.

Been coding with PHP for 6 years now. On a $600 / month salary working with PHP. Please explain to me why there's so much hate for PHP?

In most programming languages the ternary operator is right-to-left assocative. This allows you to write things like this:
print((foo == 1) ? "uno" : (foo == 2) ? "dos" : "tres");
print("\n");
This chunk of code obviously outputs the word uno.

PHP's implementation of this operator has left-to-right. I dare you to guess what the following PHP snippet outputs:

Hint: it's not the word uno.

In non-retarded programming languages, they return either the result of the left operand or the result of the right operand.

In PHP, 5 || 4 returns 1. 0 || 6 returns 1.

While most people use || as a "default value" operator:
$foo = $bar || "default value";
this cannot be done in PHP.

Wtf does the thirteenth line in this code do exactly?
apply plugin: 'application'

mainClassName = 'main.java.Main'

dependencies {
compile files('lib/barchart.jar')
compile files("resources")
}
run{
args = [ 'graph.txt']
}

task fatJar (type: Jar) {
baseName = "ntesfai_Eclipse3"
with jar

manifest {
attributes 'Main-Class':'main.java.Main'
}
}

Dark Theme for Youtube does not fucking save. Keeps resetting if I so much close the tab. Not even deleting or disabling my cookies

How do you get the youtube dark theme to save?

I am self taught and very retarded.

Is there anything in my code that would tell you this right away?

I never have anyone critic my work so and feedback at all would be great!

that is an awfully low salary

My win7 computer wont show any applications, when I start I can see them in task manager but they do not show up on the task bar or the desktop
All the things I've googled assume they're present on the taskbar... what should I do? I've already rebooted and it didn't fix the problem

So like, is it possible for bad driver(s) lead to broken HDD?

If you see task manager then you see some windows at least. What exactly does not show up? Some screenshots maybe?

It possible but highly unlikely.

For some reason my Windows 10 does not show thumbnail previews for .webm files.

How do you get it to display the thumbnail previews?

I'm on a different computer, the only applications that show are calculator and a handful of others, every other window will be visible in task manager but will not appear on the task bar or be visible otherwise.

Sounds like it can be window composition problem. Can you get to services (run->services.msc)? Try disabling/restarting DWM there. You can also switch to classic theme - it will disable DWM too.

dont know about windows, but on linux, you need ffmpeg

I rebooted a second time and chkdsk started running this time, I'll try that if this doesn't fix it

Also are you sure that applications actually load and dont show windows and not hang on start waiting for something? In that case you may want to try temporarily disabling stuff with hooks if you have any installed (antivirus, Classic start menu, Taskbat tweaker etc.) and see if it helps.

chkdsk printed a message about scanning unindexed files for reconnect to original directory and said it scanned 138 of them, but it said it recovered 3... does that mean it lost the other 135?

Probably can't find original path for them and stored in lost&found or something. Also are you on FAT32? Well, don't be.

Why is it that whenever I install uTorrent and set it to not load automatically when booting Windows, it still loads automatically?

Can I download the W10 iso from microsoft and use it without ever activating it? I'd pirate it, but don't want mining malware or some weird shit.

Is there some kind of flag or option on mangaupdates to make their search less shitty? Besides just using some external search engine (which is what I've been doing 'til now)
