How do I fix this. I have pass so that's not a problem but it causes problems when I try to log into other sites

I wish my gf looked like that...

use chrome stable, you don't even have to log in.

Are you using some kind of proxy or vpn? I normally get that issue when I have a vpn running for some reason and disabling that fixes it for me.

Anyone know what I could do to fix this?

Is there a way to reduce power consumption while downloading on my PC?

Found my problem, wobbly windows disable blur while the window is being dragged and doesn't seem like there's a fix for it yet

Re-posting from old thread because if I can't fix this I'm boned.

Since my GPU runs notoriously hot and the last 3 days maybe the temperature crept above 90°C a handful of times I decided to buy some new thermal paste (I bought Arctic MX4 since my Noctua paste was out) and re-paste my GPU.

So I looked up how to do it, seemed piss-easy, just unscrew backplate, unscrew heatsink and take it off, clean off old paste with paper towels and rbbing alcohol, put on new paste and put it back together.
Then I put it back into the case, right off the bat temps between 50 and 60°C while normally using the PC, and ~82°C absolute max under load while gaming.
This worked brilliantly all afternoon, maybe until 3h ago, when during a game suddenly my screens went black, they said no signal and went into standby, and the PC basically froze and I had to restart it, only for this to happen again within 2 or 3 minutes when I load up a game.

I did nothing else than re-paste and use canned air to clean the heat-sink, same slot for the GPU on the mobo.

I also just took it apart again (maybe it was too much paste, who knows) but no, it was fine, so new paste, back in, same shit still.

Someone suggested it might have been static-fried when I handled it, but wouldn't that lead to failure immediately? After I did the re-pasteing the card worked perfectly for a few hours of full load on and off, of course not 7h straight gaming, but still no crashes.

I really hope I'm just overlooking something stupid.

This got fixed for me just by re-loading the page.

I'll try

Only extension I'm running is adblock and I'm pretty sure that's what's causing it (turning it off only work sometimes).

Doesn't work and sometimes it pops up without a page to reload (log in window to social club to play GTA V for example)

Any recommendations for a good textbook on C++?

Where do I find last release of Java SE 7? yesterday I've uninstalled java 1.7.0 and installed latest version available but today I found out many of my old programs that were using java now don't work anymore because they need 1.7.0 but on the website all downloads for Java SE 7 have been removed permanently. Are there any unofficial archives? I'm not an Oracle customer.

Downloading what? I have a seperate, lower power, device I use as a torrenting machine. It's got an SSD in it, and one of those low power intel chipsets. It serves completed torrents to a NAS via gigabit.

Post a picture explaining your problem, grandpa.

Downloading Vidya. Like on my PS4 I can put it into this low power state called rest mode where it let's me download the games while it's off.

If you're on windows, I'd recommend restarting in safemode (minimal processes) and start the download from there. Then turn off the monitor. Wala, power saving downloads for /v/

Is GPU passthrough easy to configure to games on Windows VM? I need a new PC

Dunno, seems to be more and more popular though.

My question is how does activation of a Win10 VM work?

Does it matter if it's just used as a gaming VM with passthrough?

I'm trying to create a connection to API server in Java.

URL url = new URL(urlRequest);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

conn.setRequestMethod("POST");


It throws an exception at conn.setRequestMethod("POST"): java.lang.IllegalStateException: connect in progress. What's the deal with this, what do I do?

Is it weird or bad that I don't care about data science or machine learning, that I'm not a "data enthusiast"? I like just programing and making software. I don't care about making statistical models, explaining mathematically illiterate boomers what the data means, and convincing them why they should listen to me. I also autistically like having my programs and algos as accurate as possible, which you can't do in data science. I have a bs in math, so it's not like I can't handle the math.

no that means you're sane
"data" is a meme
statistics have limitations just like everything else

>> web browsers
So I use opera on pc because it handles 50+ tabs on weak CPU and 8gb ram
Is there better options ????
I use Samsung internet on my mobile
Is there any better options for android ????

Nothing is 100% accurate

If you're trying to run 50 tabs on mobile that just sounds like a pain in the ass. Although usually what mobile browsers do is just unload tabs when you exceed a certain memory usage and just re download individual ones as you tap on them. Unless you're using a pretty weak phone Brave is the best choice for most people.

My desktop's analog sound output (from a shitty integrated Realtek ALC892) is connected to my stereo system's AUX input with a jack-to-2xcinch cable. It's been like that for years but for the past few weeks I've been hearing this quiet, cyclical (around 4 cycles per second) hissing/buzzing sound coming from the speakers whenever there's no audio output. Disconnecting the cable on either removes the hissing so it doesn't look like it's produced the stereo itself. There's also no hissing at all during audio playback (even during completely silent parts), but 4-5 seconds after the playback ends, the hissing returns. I'm on Debian with fucking Pulseaudio. I'm not sure if the problem is software-related, this is the only OS on this computer. What do, Jow Forums?

Is ios 12 a safe update?

Is there a chance Microsoft will ever realize everyone hates the Windows 10 perpetual beta build model that's constantly being broken by updates and go back to service packs and releasing a real new OS every few years? I could forgive the privacy invasion if the fucking thing at least worked properly

No.

Networks quest here

I need to make a DHCP server on a 2008 with two NICs, one being onboard and the other one off.
So far so good, the problem is: I have to get the link on the onboard and make it the DHCP server, then distribute the IPs through the offboard.
How the hell do i make the offboard share the onboard's IPs? Currently trying to get it work on VM

Brave
But how about battery consumption ??????????

What about PC ???
Is there better options ?

Never been a problem for me. You can check in your battery settings how much each app is using.

CPU shouldn't be a problem. High ram usage is just the new norm of modern browsers. Unless it's actually causing shit to crash I wouldn't be concerned. Vanilla firefox with ublock origin is usually good, although it does tend to balloon its ram footprint if you leave it open for days on end.

this is my fetish

Microsoft has been infiltrated by industrial spies from asia who are "covertly" working to drive the company into the ground so chink electronics can grow their share in europe and america

Why would pajeets drive the company to the ground just to benefit chinks?

Firefox kills my 5400 hdd and CPU i3-4005u at same time
So would brave work better than opera with more than 50 tabs ???

Nah. Brave on desktop is basically a shittier chrome. Vivaldi is a better, but not lighter chrome. Wouldn't use a browser bought out by the Chinese. Honestly I'd just bite the bullet and go with firefox. Unless you're desperate enough to step down to something like midori it's really the way to go. I would suggest in general that you upgrade to an SSD, especially if you're using windows 10. That processor shouldn't have any problem shitposting, as long as you don't have a lot of bullshit running in the background.

If only someone could post the full source damnit.
Google/iqdb don't turn up anything.

Artist is Range Murata. Source is likely one of the pages of Comic Kairakuten. He does a full page drawing for every issue. I believe the image series is called futuregraph.

Yeah still on this, Been a while since I've done an install so I'm no longer sure of my knowledge?
Is it possible to install windows via USB off the boot menu and keep your user settings while migrating from one version of windows 10 to another.
>EG Win10 Pro to Ent. LTSB or Home to Pro.

By user settings I mean How I've got it set up, programs installed saved files, that kind of thing. I've been trying to get a program for work running and found out it's incompatible with 10home and I need to run it on 10pro... at least according to the developer out of university of arizona anyway. We've tried the install windows within windows method that should keep files, but that one gets past the key verification and fails for reasons we haven't quite figured out (might be network or permissions, we're not fully sure)


Unrelated, does anyone know how to install a lenovo explorer headset drivers on windows 10 LTSB? I've run into an issue where it won't auto-install (and confirmed it isn't the headset because it runs on my laptop, yes I'm still on it, and no that command that one user posted didn't work (unless it's not meant to be run in the key verification spot on the update's/security tab, sometimes some basic instructions help.

is there a way to have firefox reject all automatic downloads, or otherwise completely prevent them from happening?

why can't Jow Forums agree on what's a good torrent client for windows

My router is slowing my desktop internet speeds down. Rather than get a new router for $100, will putting a switch after the modem, then from the switch have one line to my desktop and another to the router allow me to still have wifi and faster internet speeds?

I would criticize your spoonfeeding but google, IQDB, even saucenao came up with nothing. This usually doesn't happen. Well done user. Well done.

If connecting directly to the modem offers better speed than going through your existing router then the answer is yes. The DHCP server on the modem may or may not complicate things but probably won't.

cool thanks. worst case scenario I have a switch I don't need I guess

range murata

I wouldn't have asked in the first place if it came up on any of those.

as a follow-up to this one

In the process of trying to find out what the culprit is here (CPU fried, PSU power rail for the GPU dying, something else?), I have access to a 2nd PC with a R7 270X GPU, now do I have to completely wipe drivers in both machines before trying out the other one's card? Or are they closely enough related to be fine?

What formula do I need to put into i13 to return the number of White Total 0 to 4 year olds in the location defined by i10?

Does that mean they declined it? I did some testing with other profiles and it doesn't go back to that, the button stays hidden when you click delete.

I have Photoshop + brackets + opera (+ 50 tabs ) + qbitorrent + megabasterd(512mb ram)
So what do you think ?????
Is there better fit than opera (just asking) in this case ?

use edge. it has ublock origin so you can move over your config. there's even a mouse gesture addon to mimic the common gestures

>edge
Excuse me wtf
Edge use your whole internet speed in some shit before even show the website
It's even worse than Firefox

So anything else????

I'm switching to firefox from opera (opera) and trying to customize main toolbar to make it similar to the one i used in Opera. I hoped to add a button to toggle javascript, to toggle images, to toggle proxy, to show the list of closed tabs and a couple of link buttons. Does firefox have any of these? The list of available items is almost empty. Or maybe i need to look elsewhere or tune settings somehow?
