My PSU's 3.3 rail never sends more than 3.18. Am I fucked in the long run?
The system runs just fine, though - never had problems even when it dropped less than that

Can a DVI-D cable work with an DVI-I port?

I was given a Dell OptiPlex 360 server PC for free. I have no experience with servers. What cool things do you suggest I do to get the most out of the computer? Any hardware upgrades you can suggest?

don't make anime OPs please, I couldn't recognize these threads and couldn't help many anons as a result

in C, how would I use fopen() to read a filepath given from an argument?

Eg say I have a main file
int main(int argc, char *argc[])
{
a(argc)

here argc contains the string /home/user/dir/file

and function a() is like this
void a(char *argv[])
{
FILE *file=fopen(argv, "r");
//action
}


What is wrong with the code here?

Where do I start with learning programming? I looked through the wiki and am overwhelmed by all the resources.

Literally fuck every single soul at Microsoft and Bill Cocksucker. I NEED and WANT to build my PC in december (i will only have money to buy the parts that i need at the end of november) and i have a CD with W7 HP 64bits, but fucking Ryzen and the new CPUs from Intel are not fucking compatible with W7 and i don't wanna fucking do any shenanigans to make the fucking OS work nor do i want to use old hardware that will be obsolete in 2 years (kaby lake), i just want to play my games without problems. Windows 10 upgrade doesn't exist anymore but i have found this Media Creation Tool guide to install W10 with a USB drive. Should i go for this method or buy this fucking OS? I fucking hate MS so much, fuck this monopoly and fuck being forced to use this thing to play games on PC. Thanks in advance.

get a q6600, do the 266->333mhz fsb tape mod, 8gb of cheap ass ddr2, maybe get a used gtx 750 ti if you want to play games (make sure it's a single slot card and not too long), if you want to go that far maybe also the cheapest used 120gb ssd you can find

Just use a DVI-I male to HDMI female adapter, simple and cheap

which browser do you guys recommend on windows?

Assembly

Will it work the same? I can't believe it will. To connect a Radeon low profile card to a HDTV.

What's the point of using an FTP client to download files from a site? Can't browsers do that already? Or is it mostly for secure connections with a login?

there is nothing wrong in being a pedophile

if you are on windows you fucked up from the very beginning so just grab the chrome and you are done

you mostly use ftp for editing, not for downloading

What's the best way to determine what's taking up all my fucking space on my work PC?

where do Jow Forumstards upload images to link them now?

nigger learn to fucking read

No, you need a DMS-59 to DVI adapter between that cable and the card. I don't think there's a direct DMS-59 to HDMI adapter, you'll always have to go through DVI at some point

you must look thru the pastebins in OPs post
exactly why he/she/it always links the pastebins so no nigger need to explain these steps over and over

Ok thank you.

Thanks. I recently bought a bulk stock of Radeon HD 4550 512MB cards. I suppose I can just us that. I presume the CPU replacement is just a drop in, no additional hassle.

...

You're amazing user, much thanks.

Anyone else getting lags/freezes in chrome after opening several webms on Jow Forums? Turning off hw acceleration doesn't fix it. In firefox no such problems.
This gets spammed in about:gpu when the freezes happen

Is fortran still can be use today?

When dualbooting Windows 7 and 10 with each OS in its own separate drive, is there a way to get something like Linux's GRUB or some other screen that shows up automatically when turning the PC on and lets me select which OS I want, so I don't have to manually go into the uefi settings and choose which drive to boot from?

dont u ever see this?

No, the pc boots straight into 10

How do i setup XRDP in loonix so i can connect to the same session already running on my PC and not a new one?

Thanks in advance

what browser do you recommend?
firefox takes way too much CPU/RAM
I would prefer if its not botnet

Probably need to rebuild the boot menu with the Windows Recovery Tool.

lifewire.com/how-to-rebuild-the-bcd-in-windows-2624508

Is there a chance of that fucking something up? I don't mind having to format the W10 drive since I only use 10 for one game but I'd rather not do anything to the 7 one

Nvm, this was caused by Audiopick extension

Also if I do that and at some point in the future I uninstall one of the two OSs, will that cause any trouble with the bcd?

How are people rooting Samsung phones these days. Last I tried it (3ish years ago) Heimdal was the thing, but I had issues with it and my S6. I have a note 8 now.

windows recovery tool is legit
uninstalling an OS wont cause a problem to the other OS
the only way you can fuck things up if u try to install XP on a machine which runs w10, then u wont boot at all unless u get that recovery tool
good luck

>here argc contains the string
No it doesn't and you're using the name argc twice.

To give the main arguments some more descriptive names: int main(int numberOfParameters, char* arrayOfParameterStrings[])
Note that the first parameter is the name of the program itself, so you should first check if numberOfParameters >= 2 so your file path is included.
If so, you want to pass the path (which is a single string, so char*) to your doSomethingWithFile function: doSomethingWithFile(arrayOfParameterStrings[1]); note that you get index 1 because index 0 is the program name
void doSomethingWithFile(char *filePath)
{
FILE *file=fopen(filePath, "r");
//action
}

Wew lad.

I'm thinking of getting a 1080ti next month and a 4k monitor after that. Currently have an AMD 1600 processor. Is there gonna be a bottle neck?

All the browsers worth a damn eat a ton of CPU and memory these days, and/or are botnet.

If you keep a lotta tabs open in Firefox, you can try UnloadTab (or, for Chrome, "The Great Suspender"):
addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unloadtab/?src=api
(TGS lets me keep about 50 tabs open in Chrome at about ~150MB, +~100MB for GPU process, Unloadtabs should offer similar results in Firefox.)

Waterfox might offer you more functionality and less botnet, roughly the same resource usage though.

For a lower resource footprint, you'll have to give up a lot functionality - something like "Light" - which you can't even use for Jow Forums, lest you're VIP, as it can't handle Captcha 2.0, nor 4chanX.

I'm on an AMD system right now and I want to build an Intel rig. How does it work for my Windows license? Can I just swap my HDD and SDD in the new pc and keep all my saved stuff?

Thanks user

Gonna have a relative in the US buy parts for a PC. When should I look for discounts on Amazon for Black Friday? Do I get them to order the parts on that day?

If you're looking at a career path in it, unless you're violating Global Rule #2, don't. You can't go into that field and hope to compete with all the folks in it who have been at it since they were kids.

If it's just for a hobby, depends on what you want to do. C++/C# for games, Pearl for logic/math/web. The latter is a bit easier to learn, the former might be easier to work with if you're a Windows user.

>When should I look for discounts on Amazon for Black Friday?
This question kinda answers itself, yes?

Amazon's Black Friday sales tend to cover the whole week following though.

kill yourself

I figure I’m too old for a career in it (32), but I think it’d be a neat hobby to get into. C++/C# sounds like it’d be the best for me. Thanks user, I appreciate the advice.

I've never shopped on amazon during Black Friday and don't live in the US hence the question. I'm worried about missing good deals and stores running out of stock so I don't know whether to buy the days before, during or after Black Friday.

Is there any point in using Brave as my phone browser, if I use adaway? Can I use Firecocks without any disadvantage?

You might be able to use refind.

Reminder that you are a pedophile trying to shift attention away from you and your fellow pedophiles and towards the non-pedophilia of anime and manga.

If only Jow Forums any serious moderation, but no. We have to listen to these fucking clowns 24/7 on every board.

not on the cpu, maybe on your harddrive

yes you can, only thing you need to switch are the drivers, uninstall the old ones, and get the new proper ones

During... Stocks should remain fine. Only really gets dicey when trying to take advantage of the after Christmas sales.

Cyber Monday is also a thing though.

BF usually runs from November 23rd to 26th, but you can expect various Amazon sales to continue through to the 30th, Cyber Monday style.

Cool, thanks!

Does pcpartpicker choose random stores to buy from?

I used to be able to search through my porn by right clicking the image I have up then going to "find in folder" but that's not on windows 10. Why?

Is there an updated version of this guide or does this one still hold up?

>the non-pedophilia of anime and manga.
>girls from loli cartoons are featured in several thread OPs

Yes.

Attached: Overwhelmed by memes.jpg (960x806, 135K)

And what do "loli cartoons" have to do with pedophilia? Nothing. So what is your point?

Don't get 4k annon. It's a meme at this point. If you want to justify your beefy gpu get a 1440p/144hz.

Oh God..

>cartoons featuring sex with children (or "CHILDLIKE CHARACTERS")
>not pedophilia
if this is your actual opinion, then I don't think you can be reasoned with

Using qbittorrent and a torrent from nyaa.si.
Does Windows 10 still have that limit on half-open TCP connections? Do I need to change settings to optimize torrenting? My upload is abysmal on any network I join.

What children? They're anime characters. And you know that. You pedophiles know exactly what kind of bullshit you're pushing.

They're anime characters drawn to resemble kids, and you know that.

>Do I need to change settings to optimize torrenting?
Yes. Use linux.

They don't look like children.

You're a pedophile, and you know that.

>can't tell 2d from real life
Literally mentally diseased

>They don't look like children.
haha okay

>unironically thinks there isn't a great overlap between "people who enjoy lolicon" and pedophiles
uhh

>haha okay
They don't, and you know they don't. Fucking pedo.

>Lolicons don't look like children

Are you blind? And you're actively denying they're drawn to resemble children?

That's not the point, sorry.

>Are you blind?
No, and neither are you. You know they don't look like children. That's exactly why you pedos are going after anime.

Nope. I'm assuming you're simply covering for your own attraction to drawn kids.
Feel free to keep spouting nonsense.

Just drop the act, pedo. I can see right through you. I know about your little conspiracy.

Mate, have you ever seen real children? They are ugly dirty little creatures.
Yes, lolis are supposed to represent children, but if you think that they look realistic, you are blind.

You can't really reason with someone who insists on that you know a certain thing. It's a fundamentally flawed fundament for any kind of reasonable discussion. Get back to me when you've stopped doing that.

Get back to me when... no wait, don't get back to me. Just fuck off and don't come back, you insufferable fucking pedo.

Sure mate.

>Just fuck off
feel free to try to force me away

this personal attack loop will now be ignored. cheers

Really, though. But using a VM wouldn't work, right?

ITT: pedos being attracted to lolicon and denying they're pedophiles, in the same way faggots are attracted to traps and claim they're not faggots (or at least bisexual)
