Is there a way to disable win10 fast boot without logging in?

What are the best case fans? I want something that'll last a long time without making any weird noises and has a good balance between quietness and airflow/pressure. Considering pic related.
Also if anybody knows, does anyone out there do in-depth fan reviews?

Noctua when it comes to everything (Durability, Performance and how quiet they are).

Do any companies in the US still offer POTS (Plain Old Telephone Line)? How would I go about finding them, google isn't being very helpful.

Toasted in dead bread. Gomenasorry.
I feel like I'm poorly suited for programming. I have to spend hours debugging even simple joke starter programs like a hangman game or character sorter. I don't think I'm flat out retarded since I'm great at math and logic puzzles and shit, just not this.
Should I drop it and try to find something I'm better at or force myself further? That is to say, does it get easier or is it only uphill from here?

I don't know, I was using that developer firefox thing that gentoo comes with, it was booting from a USB 2.0 pen drive, and it felt noticeably faster than using firefox on windows 7 on the same computer.

I need to be able to upload a simple .txt file somewhere that I can load from a simple URL anytime I like, and which I can edit without altering the URL.

Anyone recommend a decent free service that I could do this with?

why does task manager display 53% memory usage with about 2GB's of ram being used when i have 8GB's of ram?

That is the amount of RAM used by your current User, not the total used by Windows.

Pastebin?

Read Strengthsfinder. If you obviously suck at programming then it's simply not for you and you'll never be good at it. Maybe you should be a math teacher instead.

Hello please, am new to windows 10 and my googlefu is weak

is that a yes then?

It can happen to anyone, its based in regions and not globally.

do there exist screens that only illuminate certain pixels based on the signal sent to them? is there a name for such a technology?

how can i find the amount of ram used by windows?

i assume you mean that there is a portion of ram which is used to run windows and a portion that is available for free use and i'm using 53% of that, yeah?

Say I buy a new Laptop, how do I replace the SSD?
I don't mean hardware wise, but software wise. The new SSD I have will have no data on it, or anything, whereas the SSD on the laptop will have the Windows install and everything else, won't it? How do you swap these things and have them work as before?

OLED but they have their problems.

OLED?

ATT does. I'm sure others do too. My mom still has a POTS line (and dial-up internet).

You have 2 options, to copy the contents of the HDD or Reinstall windows on it.

Lets say you do the latter since its a better idea.
You download the ISO, example Windows 10 2016 LTSB.
Here is the magnet:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:3d46432a6b4be6e3c0d8dcbedfe9d2a550dc65f1&dn=en_windows_10_enterprise_2016_ltsb_x64_dvd_9059483.iso

Then you download Rufus to put that ISO in a USB, you should be using GPT mode for UEFI if its a new laptop, MBR if its really old.

Then install it.

You will have to install the drivers too, for laptops its easy you just download them from the site of whoever made it.
You only need Chipset, Video, wireless and Audio drivers only.

You activate it with:
forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/microsoft-toolkit-official-kms-solution-for-microsoft-products.28669/

Are you in the EU?

How could I download the entire archive for this board available here... 4archive.org/board/r9k/? and make it readily useable on my local HD the way it's available online?

Does anybody have a script to scrape Pornhub video URLs? I have one for Xvideos but that site is all british sister-fucking fetishes. I can only jerk off to Kiki Devine so many times before it starts to become creepy.

Nah, US mountain region.

>Then you download Rufus to put that ISO in a USB, you should be using GPT mode for UEFI if its a new laptop, MBR if its really old.
Or you can format it to FAT32, set partition as active with Diskpart and copy the contents of the ISO to it.
That's enough for the UEFI boot with Win8 or later, no need for the third-party software.

It is generally always a good idea to do a clean install on a new laptop. Gets rid of all the useless bloatware they come with. All you have to do is create a USB installer by going to

microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

You don't have to pirate or even worry about keys. Windows will just reactivate itself automatically the first time you connect to the internet. Also it usually installs all its own drivers, although you may want to download the latest graphics driver if you do gaming.

Teleport Pro should work.
Or any other similar software.

Thanks very much!

Computers are hard stuff man

You aren't wrong. Most of the PC cases are made from metal, after all.

Would it be a good idea to buy a used GTX 770 instead a 1030 for $80-100?

Save up more money and buy a used 970.

Too expensive to the point a GTX 1060 6GB is a better idea.

I end up saying this often, but if you haven't been coding since elementary school, do not look into it as a career - most of the professionals have, and thus have their own intuition for the subject. No amount of schooling can grant that level of intuition.

If it's just as a hobby, fine, more power to ya, but don't bet your life on it.

Performance tab, rather than users tab.

1060/6 is a great card, but I have no idea how much a used 1060 costs now. But then again, I don't know much about the current 970 prices either.

770 is 680, and 680 came out 6.5 years ago. It should be close to 1050Ti, but this doesn't mean that you should buy a GPU that old.
1030 is just slow, especially the DDR4 version. You absolutely shouldn't buy a 1030 DDR4.

Can Jow Forums recommend a method of password removal for windows 10?

fuck programming and software, man.
I like physical problems where something broken is easily identified and fixed.

Spending a month wondering why my computer keeps freezing because apparently windows defender stopped liking browsing the internet while windows explorer is open fucking pisses me off.

That's kinda hard but if it's just the files you're after, see this post

this is fully retarded. nobody take any advice from spergy george jetson, here.

I'm trying to use Odin to root and flash a rom, but I keep failing at the start. Everytime I try to start Odin it fails on Recovery. I've tried a couple differnt cables

Not an option
I can boot into live usb but the drive is read only due to fast boot or something, attempting to manipulate files returns an input/output error

Short answer: don't bother and use stock room.
Long answer: look for answers specific to your phone on the XDA forum. Each phone has its own stupid qirks when it comes to flashing.

Depends. Do you log in with a microsoft account or local?

I'm only fucking with it to try to get a newer version of Android. Being stuck with 4.4.2 blows

Eh, there's lots of solutions. You could use Ntpwedit

windowsmatters.com/2018/07/10/gandalfs-win10pe-x64-redstone-3-build-16299-version-07-10-2018/

You could actually try posting the model of phone you're using instead of asking for a super specific solution to a general problem.

I have a SQL table with a list of books, prices and discount percentages. What would the command be if I needed to print a "Up to 10% discount" message on the books that have that discount, then a "Over 25% discount" on the books that have said discount?
Pic related is the table, I just need to get the book, price and discount.

I got a punch of .flv files from a 'Visual Novel' that say that they can be given an alpha for transparency, but dragging the .flv file into WebmForFuckingretards spits it out with the black background though.
Pic related is an example.

How do I get these to be transparent? I have all the tools at my disposal; Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, I just need direction.

You will need ffmpeg for that.
ffmpeg -i input.flv -c:v libvpx -pix_fmt yuva420p out.webm

Here's how it should end up but with the other discounts added to it.

This what you're trying to do?

I'd post in that thread. Might take a while, but they would know the specifics of your situation.

Tried it. Didn't work.
I've found what I think is ffmpeg, though launching it does nothing. Dragging the .flv file over to it does nothing either.
I'm wholly unfamiliar with how to use this.

I'm trying this

SELECT nombre, precio, porc_descuento
case when porc_descuento1025 then 'Descuento de mas de 25%'
FROM libreria;

But I'm not sure what I'm missing

1. Do any Jow Forumstards use text apps to chat outside Jow Forums about programming? I'd like a few programming buddies to learn code with.

2. Had general engineering-level introduction to programming (OOP, pointers, recursion). IE grad now creating software tools to help a lab track testing data for their own benefit, and for management's understanding of lab performance. Using C#/VB.NET and WinForms (gross, I know) along with XML to store data in human-readable format. I love to code, but I know my current level of education on it is very lack-luster, and most of my project sticking points are solved with GoogleFu. Is self-teaching myself more about coding with performance in mind feasible with Google/books, or should I recommend my employer hire a programming aficionado to team up with when the occasion arises?

Future project I'll be proposing is to develop an app for company-owned mobile device that scan lab equipment/employee badge bar codes that track test results and submission to eliminate tons of paper in our lab. I'll need Java and Android development tools/knowledge, and a way to neatly communicate data to the current C#/VB.NET project. Scary? Pain in the ass? Brainlet detected? Roast me and arm me with knowledge!

i didn't start programming until i was 24, now i'm 30 and employed as a code-monkey. it's not the greatest job in the world but it pays the bills and comes with full benefits, and i didn't even need a degree to get it. if you're struggling with learning to program, try switching things up. i struggled with python so i tried c instead and found c to be much easier to learn at first. i went from c to lisp and finally back to python, which was surprisingly easy at that point. try to avoid getting caught up on the small stuff too often. there are some pretty comfy "let's program a roguelike" video series on youtube that might help you see how a larger application comes together. it's really about breaking larger problems into smaller pieces that are brain-dead easy to solve. knowing where to break the problem up is half the job, after that it's really straight-forward.

Please respond

That wasn't specifically what I was going for, but it would work. I was going to flash a rom though I hadn't decided which yet. I wasn't expecting to have issues at the start of the process.

Well lineage is what you want to flash, unless the specific one for your model has an issue.

Alright, I'll post on there and see if I can get some specific help. I appreciate it.

ffmpeg needs to be run from the command line so you can pass flags to it.

What does that mean? I'm fucking tech illiterate.
Looking at the ffmpeg website shit and I don't really understand what it wants me to do.

Is there a retard proof/laymen's version on using this somewhere? I swore that /wsg/ had something, but I don't see it.

Open CMD.
(Shift+right click in the folder ffmpeg is at).
type ffmpeg+whatever you want it to do.

Can someone sanity check me?
Does this say to create a function that needs to know a bunch of stuff and then doesn't do anything but return -1 if the file doesn't open?
What's funny is that the main function has a switch function that doesn't even call the function if the file doesn't exist. It just couts "No x exists in the database" and breaks.

Do i type in but with the the directory to the .flv I want to convert?
I think I did this right. though hitting enter doesn't make it run. What am I doing wrong?

Attached: 2018-10-21 23_00_43-Select Command Prompt.png (978x511, 10K)

You forgot the .exe in ffmpeg.

Also you don't need to type the directory if the exe and the file you are trying to convert are in the same folder.

Sanity check self failed.
I realized that I was making my function in main because I was like "oh well this input is just this ***."
Just copied and pasted it into the function with placeholder values.

What advantages does a z390 board have over a z370?
I have a 9700k and the z390 boards are expensive as shit and actually look worse anesthetic wise compared to the previous chipset boards.
Just found out that I could use z370 boards with it so any suggestions?

Sorry I was trying it straight from the CMD menu off a search. I didn't do the Shift Right-click, though it's not really showing me anything related to the CMD menu.

I'm using Windows 10 if that matters.
also this is what happened after I added .exe to the end of it

you should reinstall windows on a new laptop anyway, unless you really want the shitware they ship on it to reduce the cost of the laptop
if you install the same edition of windows, it should activate on it's own

Better chipset features and overclocking(Assuming the motherboard you bought has proper VRM setup and you didint bought a shitty Gigabyte or ASRock motherboard with magical VRMs.

Where do you have ffmpeg?

The shift+right click is to make CMD run something from the folder where you did that.
If you just open cmd it you are telling it to open something from your user folder, and if you run it as admin from your windows folder.
Right now it cant find ffmpeg.exe because is not in your user folder.

Chipset features such as what? Is it better to get the z390?
Was hoping I could get by with a high end z370 board that looks better and is still cheaper.

you might have to specify the path to ffmpeg.exe
C:\SomeDirectory\Wherever\Latest WebM Converter\Binaries\Win32\ffmpeg.exe

Shift+Rightclick in the folder doesn't do anything except bring up the right-click menu, user. Are you leaving out something important? Are you sure you don't mean Shift+Leftclick?

Shift+right click and select open command window here.

Open PowerShell window here? That's the only "Open Window" there is.
also are you guys sure the only way to make this transparent is by using this?
The Arguments section in WebmforRetards looks somewhat similar to without the ffmpeg extensions and the Out.webm.
Is this not the same thing?

Attached: 2018-10-21 23_16_01-WebM for Retards.png (1018x26, 3K)

It should be the same since its opening its own ffmpeg, try it out.

Get the latest version of FFMPEG - make sure that Webm4Tards is using it. (This is not supported by the FFMPEG that comes with Webm4tards by default.)

At the bottom of the Advanced tab, you will see "Arguments".

After -pixformat add:
-vf colorkey=::

For the example below I used:
-vf colorkey=0xFFFFFF:0.3:0.2
