Does it matter what order i put bcache and lvm in? Right now I have bcache on top of LVM and it's working fine.

I've been tweaking an overclock for my PC and 3.9ghz at 1.35volts seems to be the highest stable clock I can achieve. What's the best way to go about checking the stability of a clock? Do I just use it until the PC crashes?

how does one make win 10 have a win vista, or win 7 skin so it doesnt look so trashy, >inb4 install win 7

my internet is fucking trash, i dont feel like getting a 2nd iso and it not working again

Classic shell

Asking again. Is there a way of using my desktop's processing power when watching video files on my laptop?
I can access my desktop's files through my laptop, but when watching certain 1080p files the fans go crazy because the laptop gets really hot.

No

Any of you guys know how to use Polybar? I'm trying to set a Japanese Style clock like pic related.

LC_ALL=japanese polybar example -r &

Tried setting Polybar locale to Japanese but it seem polybar is ignoring it.

In java what are/is?

How do I stop distrohopping?

Yes you can, there are media servers that support transcoding.

However, it won't stop your fans from blowing.

To my understanding that's how mpd/ncmpcpp works. I'll have a look at Kodi, since I'mm used to it. I know there was a 3rd party software for plex, but it's too confusing andin beta.

>i dont feel like getting a 2nd iso and it not working again
It's called a torrent, bub.

>know there was a 3rd party software for plex
What?
Just install plex

Why do you keep distrohopping in first place?

I don't think kodi does transcoding, just direct stream.

I meant there's a software that makes transcoding possible on plex using other machines. Like you stream a video on plex in one machine, but you have a server with the files doing the transcoding.

Just make your more powerful system the media server and have it setup.
You dont have to transcode, you can disable it and just direct play.

Does it matter which Ubuntu you use for Web Development?

I swear this post makes even less sense. Are you trying to replace the server or client with 3rd party, and why would you want to do either?

But if I direct play the files on the desktop through my laptop it will still use my laptop's processing power, right? That's what I'm trying toavoid.

No, but if you want the latest packages don't use LTS.

I recommend installing Ubuntu minimal and just apt install the DE/WM you want.

Two questions.
1. Can someone recommend me an easy, lightweight, no-bullshit hex editor for windows? (preferably with no install required)
2. This is a hell of a long shot so I'm not really expecting an answer, but can anyone tell me where exactly in the header of PSP .gim images the bits per pixel are specified?
I threw together a loader/viewer for them over the last day or two, and it currently uses file size vs. resolution to tell.

I just want to stream the files from my desktop to my laptop while using the desktop's processing power. I was saying that there's an "add-on" for plex that let's me do that, but it's in beta and you need to have some programming knowledge.

The client has to process the video stream either way. The server just detects what the client can play and attempts to convert the video into a format that is within the client's capabilities.

XVI32. HxD. Hexplorer. Take your pick.

I think you misunderstand what that "addon" is supposed to do. There are apps for pretty much every system, and a webclient, although I wouldn't expect the best performance from that.

Might as well get the files on my laptop and play it, then. That way I can avoid the stream load.

I thought Ubuntu Default (Unity) was optimal for it, I wasn't sure if the DE might effect it or not

Is there a PROPER way to uninstall an update on Windows 7? By proper, I mean remove completely the update and its leftovers it might leave behind if you uninstall it by default.

I am trying to compile a simple C program with Allegro, using GCC on arch linux. I am not being abble to link the libraries help me Sup Forums.

The code is in this link
wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title=Allegro_5_Tutorial/Displays

Uninstall it from the Programs and Features thing. You can run Windows Update Cleanup from Disk Cleanup after if you want I suppose, that might clean something.

How much better Sup Forums be without posts from mobile devices?

Nobody can tell.
The poster count is on decline as is.

This. Even porn boards are slow. Dumbasses rather post that stuff attached to their real name on social networks while dodging bans.

What's the fastest board?

Sup Forums usually.

Currently Sup Forums no doubt.
Sup Forums surprisingly slowed down to a crawl,same goes for Sup Forums.

Sup Forums stopped being newfag academy 5 years ago,now newfags go straight for the jugular and just shit up all boards.

So how do you recover from a black screen after disabling the graphics driver? Removing the cmos battery didn't work.

you boot into safe mode.

>The poster count is on decline as is.
When it takes upwards of 30 seconds or more to make ONE FUCKING POST due to this bullshit captcha system, yeah of course people stop posting frequently

Dude the boards are slow as fuck.
Threads stay up for fucking whole 24h sometimes more.

Does Sup Forums like my peepee? I’m browsing Sup Forums while pooping

Fuck off

ITT annon provides proof

I smile whenever I see phoneposters abusing mobile IPs to shitpost without consequences because I know it brings us one step closer to all mobile IPs being range-blocked from Sup Forums.

So yes, I like your peepee.

You don’t like my peepee?

Nothing. I've tried pressing f8 and f12 and I can't even get to safe mode.

go to BIOS

So I just realized that iTunes and amazon (and probably others) save personal data in your music downloads. I was wondering what's the best way to remove that? I see "iTMS scrubber" and "Desiccate" as possible solutions but I don't know how well they work. Not much info is online about them.

And no, going to details and removing personal info doesn't remove the metadata.

>Not much info is online about them.
You're lying. So much so that the image you posted is on the website that has the information on how to remove this data.

How come Daz Loader is the only one that can activate windows 7 ultimate? Why KMspico or microsoft toolkit can't?

Got it. Thank you so much, and sorry for my autism.

why do i have open pts connections on my fresh opensuse install

>Use Windows
Kernel crashes
>Use Linux
DE crashes
>Use Mac OS X on Mac
Kernel and DE crashes.

Why it is like that? Why you can't screw Windows DE to Linux (without GNU)?

just started figuring out what the fuck CSS is and editing userChrome
what is the best way to go about modifying all the shit on the top toolbar of Firefox 58
like the shape and color of tabs, icons for bookmarks and folders, back/forward buttons

I want it to all be transparent with no borders so I can use a background image I have instead
hoping to use pic related as the background

Because the Windows DE depends on too much stuff that Wine doesn't do yet.

Maybe I didn't explain properly. For example amazon saves it as a comment in the metadata. I don't know where else this info is saved and how. I was hoping someone here might be more knowledgeable and might know of a program that scrubs the library. It's more than just iTunes m4a format.

Use a program like Mp3tag or Puddletag that can show you all the tags on the file.

But why Microsoft haven't done it yet?

I'm gonna be traveling soon and need a laptop to play tekken 7

will this be fine? I just wanna hit 60 fps and avoid overheating, I don't care about settings. I have a cooling pad already

All file formats can be "dirty files." If you don't know where to look you can't find it. If you have a lot of music you won't find it all. The only way to clean them is to use a program.

Anyone who's pirated something is at risk because if the uploader left this in you have the evidence on your pc that it's the same file. If you give anyone your music and they upload it you're a target and it's an easy case. For such a potentially large issue no one is talking about it.

>ft haven't
hasn't. Fucking droid keyboard

Because they like NT, and it would be a compatibility nightmare, they'd suddenly need good Linux drivers for every last bit of hardware. And things like DirectX are rather tied into NT.

I can't do that for all 8k songs I have though. That's why I'm asking if anyone knows a program like "iTMS scrubber" or "Desiccate"

Linux is free and open-source. They can add indian-driver-converter of sort. I see no issues.

Are these temps okay? My computer is acting fucked.

Been thinking..How fucked am I if I rely on a password manager like LastPass? Is there a possibility that it could just up and disappear one day?

I have like ~10 high priority accounts that I need to manage (I do tech support + online marketing) so I have no choice but to use a password manager.

Examine a few. If it's all in the comment field, drag all 8k files in there, select all, set comment to blank, save.

I'm using 4chanx and violenmonkey.
Whenever i try to open a 404'd post to go to the archive, i'm redirected to the Sup Forums 404 page (that has a ad) like pic related rather than getting redirected to the archive.

Does anyone has a fix for both problems (the ad and the no redirecting)?
Edit: it just unfucked itself as i was trying to get the pic. Fuck me.

Can someone please help me find a desk that can fit a desktop with these dimensions?

newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157501

I have this motherboard that I bought in 2014. My ram is currently at 8GB and the motherboard says it can go up to 32GB. Should I upgrade my ram to 16GB?

newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314

This is what I bought back in 2014. Should I just re-buy the same ram?

How can you mass edit the metadata? Is that a function of Mp3tag and Puddletag?

If a router has its wps enabled, and I have its PIN is it possible to connect to it?

Could an M.2 be integrated into a GPU?

Yes it is. In Mp3tag, you select the files you want to change, then edit stuff in the pane on the left, leaving the parts you want to leave alone, then ctrl+S to save your changes.

Mp3tag will edit tags on mp4, m4a, flac, ogg, etc. despite its name.

And it fucked itself again
Now with pic for your viewing pleasure.
Please help

any good tablets these days, my amazon hdx 8 broke wont even turn on anymore can you guys please tell me a good tablet in the price range of 150-200 dollars ive tried phone general but no response.

No. It's a bit like asking if a stove can be integrated into a fridge. What are you even trying to accomplish?

Are you trying to add an M.2 but only have the 1 PCIe slot because you fell for the micro board meme? You might be able to find some sort of weird adapter that splits an x16 slot into a pair of x8s, stick your GPU in one and an M.2 to PCIe adapter in the other. But really you're better off just using SATA or getting a board with more slots at this point.

Maybe a used iPad mini from last year?

I'm trying to call verizon's billing department for something about my internet through fios, but the phone number on their website and what I got from one of their chat people connects to verizon wireless and asks for a verizon wireless phone number, but I don't have them for cell service. What do

Nah, the question didn't pertain to any real scenario. I was just wondering if the interface itself could be placed on say, the back of the PCB by the manufacturer as an optional thing. Thanks for the reply.

Ok, thank you. I worry that some of the data is hidden as comments in sections with useful data so wiping all of it might just corrupt it all. I guess I'll work at it

I wanted a password manager too so I can have separate very strong passwords that I couldn't possibly remember, but didn't want to use a remote service. I ended up finding and liking KeePass.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KeePass

It's just a plain desktop app that stores accounts in a local encrypted file with password and/or key file.

How do I find out if 2 line segments intersect?
Is there a way I can also figure out where they intersect, instead of a binary yes/no?

Probably also related but unsure. So I know how to collide circles but..
Is there a way I can figure out at what angle(s) of the edge of the circle is being collided at?

Trying to google all of this I don't know math terms.

The comment field never contains anything important. At best it will contain some comment about the file, how it was tagged, or what parameters it was ripped or encoded with. None of that will affect how it plays since players ignore the comment.

You might also look for custom tags in right click, extended tags. I know iTunes used that on mp3 files at some point.

If you want you can also look in a few files again after you strip out comments, to make sure the strings you were seeing before are in fact gone and don't have like just the first byte changed to null.

I've got my old PC in pic related, and I'm considering using it as an NAS. How easy would it be to juryrig a bunch of hard drive mounting area into the case? There's an ass ton of space with no obstructions.

zonalandeducation.com/mmts/intersections/intersectionOfTwoLines1/intersectionOfTwoLines1.html

These are lines not line segments.

I have no idea how to translate that into segments.

Does a Wacom Bamboo pen have any electrical parts inside it? Mine is all sticky and dirty for some reason but I don't know if it's safe to wash it with water or not.

I thought about local storage (created an encrypted file to store the passwords) but I thought I'd probably get fucked if my HDD dies or something else happens to my computer.

I wonder if storing an encrypted file in a Google Drive/Dropbox folder would work, been thinking about that too. Obvious drawback is I couldn't us it on any device without the software to decrypt it.

Depends how good you are with DIY stuff and how picky you are. It wouldn't be hard to get some strips of sheet metal and drill screwholes to mount drives with, leaving enough room between them for airflow. Then drill a couple holes in the bottom of the case to bolt the assembly into.

Okay, how to rice ganooloonix?
What wallpaper is better for system?

>Mine is all sticky and dirty for some reason but I don't know if it's safe to wash it with water or not.
I know the instructions don't say not to jam it into your dickhole, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea.

>Uninstall it from the Programs and Features thing.
That's for uninstalling programs, not updates, you fucking doofus.

>You can run Windows Update Cleanup from Disk Cleanup after if you want I suppose, that might clean something.
Oh, good remind. I forgot this existed, so I will use it. Thanks for pointing it.

Find the intersection point like that. If there isn't one because they're parallel, you have a no. Otherwise, go on to see if the intersection point's x/y coords are inside of each of your segments.

>That's for uninstalling programs, not updates, you fucking doofus.
Check the left pane, doofus. "View installed updates".

So wiping the "purchased by" data from the m4p only half works. It doest show up when I click extended tags anymore but iTunes info still shows it, so it's being saved somewhere else as well?
