First

Is that even a question?

First with an actual question
I have an old ass laptop with 100Mbps ethernet. I need to get at least 400-500Mbps over the network. Laptop has two useable USB 2.0 ports.
What do? Would ethernet to USB adapter be any faster? Could I aggregate the adapter with built-in ethernet to get more bandwidth?

Technically it's an incorrect statement, because OP is first, obviously.

If it's that old, then the USB ports are probably just as slow. What make/model is it? Most older laptops take adapter cards.
If yours doesn't, you can buy refurbished business class laptops for around $100 that would be a huge upgrade for you.

chroem vs vivaldi which is best

It's a Toshiba Satellite L300. It has a PCMCIA port iirc.
>you can buy refurbished business class laptops for around $100
yeah, that's what I planned to do if I can't get the L300 to do 500Mbps.
It's working as a media/torrent server, so probably any busted thinkpad would do.

usb 2.0 can only do 480mbps at maximum, and an old laptop can probably handle one port at full speed
Your only hope is pcmcia (pic related) if you dont have that then you cant have 500mbps

I want to put all my self hosted webservices on a single device.
Currently running an odroid c2, but the memory requirements have exceeded the 2gig available.
Zram and swap are out of the question since they use my micro sd card which will deteriorate too fast and will eventually lead to failures.
What are my options if my absolute max is 250 euros?
I'm looking for 4-8gig ram
Odroid's new sbc isn't out afaik and might underperform
Intel nucs are possible but get pricey fast and reviews aren't to fond about them
Mini itx is iirc hard to come by and gets expensive real fast, also large power usage.
Anything I'm missing?

Eww, my daughter is so ugly.

where do I download windows 10 lstb?

you take the hdd out and plug it into the computer you want to interface with, because you're not getting 500Mbps over networking

>What are my options if my absolute max is 250 euros?
You can buy 'nuc' like devices in your budget. Look for stuff made my Gigabyte and other vendors. I've got a small nuc like device from Gigabyte that has 16GB of ram, an i3 and two drives in it, it's about an inch tall, and the length/width of a VESA mount. Bought it without the drives and ram for less than 150 Euros.

Vivaldi

>you take the hdd out and plug it into the computer you want to interface with
I'm autistic, so I don't want to do that. I'll probably just get the cheapest laptop I can find with 1Gbps ethernet.

It's in the OP

Still looking for a solution to this.

fuck I'm retarded.

Does updating GPU bios actually improve performance or is it just a mene?

I've created a torrent to share some stuff with my friends. Now that it's done, how do I stop sharing?

I'm using qBittorrent by the way, if that helps

>Does updating GPU bios actually improve performance or is it just a mene?
Not sure on newer GPUs.
I did it on a first gen Titan, and got a huge gain on it. Part of that was because of the temp controller and fan curve bullshit that was locked down from the vendor, as well as the voltage. I got over a 40% improvement just being able to push the fan to 100% and up the voltage.

Exit the software.

I was thinking of doing it to my laptop with 940m that I bought when I was dumb enough to think that was actually a good gaming GPU.

I've gotten a CTH-480 and when ever I draw with the pen it automatically starts drawing, is there an option to make it only draw only when you click on the side button on command? I looked in the Wacom desktop center and couldn't find anything

>laptop with 940m
Probably not going to be much benefit, because prior to the 10XX GPUs the mobile platform was very gimped. Thermals would limit you.

Just remove the torrent. Or pause it.

Doesn't show up on the list of torrents tho.

>Doesn't show up on the list of torrents tho.
If you close the torrent client, you stop seeding.

I wanna seed my vietnamese cartoons tho.

Well shit. Looks like the best I can get is T7 to 50 FPS and Nier to 20 at most. Thanks user.

Just remove the stupid torrent.
Here, I made a torrent, this torrent was immediately added to my client.
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:e12253a40bd07eadf1b7a892b42260c4b2c7656a&dn=Very%20important%20file
If I want to stop sharing this torrent, then I just have to remove it from the client.

>how do I stop sharing?
>I wanna seed
make up your mind faggot.
>my vietnamese cartoons tho.
Nobody watches Doreamon or Tom and Jerry. Except my wife, but she watches Doreamon on youtube, and doesn't like Tom and Jerry. She never fell for the Disney jew. She does like his pre-war stuff though. Before the jews took over his operation.

wtf. I got nothing

Are you being retarded by not having it set to the correct category? Be it "All" or if it makes a separate one for personal torrents?
Otherwise, you've already stopped sharing it.

Anyone know if Madvr has the option to flip a video horizontally? In MPC-BE it has the options and I set a kb shortcut, but Madvr overrides the option I think. Weird that it wouldn't have this functionality if it hasn't.

Planning to buy a new laptop. I can pick between the new macbook air or buy a macbook pro (2017)

Are sound bars meme?
I dont need surround, just better speakers then the internal ones on the tv. Something with a bit more bass too.
Suggestions?

I'm not trying to be retarded or anything I'm geneuinely confused. When I create a torrent using pic related it just gives me a torrent file.
Also how do you get a magnet out of it.

Attached: Capture.png (588x682, 16K)

Thanks, didn't stop to look for similar nuc devices. I'll be getting one of these

After adding the torrent to your client you can right click it to copy the magnet. If you're autistic you can also make the magnet by copying the hash.
Again.
If the torrent isn't visible in your client.
Then
You're
Not
Sharing
It
Simple as that, if you just gave the torrent to your friend but you never added it to your own client then he hasn't been able to download it.

>Are sound bars meme?
>I dont need surround, just better speakers then the internal ones on the tv. Something with a bit more bass too.
>Suggestions?
They work great. I recommend one that comes with a wireless sub. Polk makes some really good ones. You can find them on sale for cheap. I bought mine a couple years ago on Black Friday for half price. They have bluetooth and optical connections, so you can stream from your phone when you want wirelessly, or use the optical or 3.5mm jack on your computer.

I'm planning on building a new gaming PC. I'm unsure of the combination of GPU and monitor I should get.

I was initially wanting to game at 4k on a 32 inch monitor, however I've been reading that it is only worth gaming at 4k on monitors that are 40 inch or larger and that if you do game on a smaller monitor at 4k you would not find that much a benefit.

I have been suggested that a 1440p monitor at 144 hz would be a better option for me.

I am more keen on better visuals as opposed to higher framerate, but if there no discernible difference between 4k and 1440p while viewed on a 32 inch monitor then I would prefer the 1440 144 monitor.

Is 4k really not worth it using 32 inch monitor? Also I'm planning on buying an rtx 2080, should I reconsider my GPU if I do infact opt for the 1440 144 monitor instead?

Thanks

Alright thanks m8. Guess I'm not seeding them then.

>I am more keen on better visuals as opposed to higher framerate
Then get the larger monitor at 4k.
1080p@20" is like 1440p@27" is like 4k@40"

If you format a 500gb hard drive, does that write 500gb?

Is it possible to run a raspberry pi 3 b+ as a pi-hole without using wifi to distribute the outgoing signal? The pi has only on ethernet port, so would I need to get some kind of adapter using the GIPO or something?

no, it just sets flags at the beginning of the drive saying all sectors can be overwritten.

Not an expert but half way sure it just deletes the symbolic links. If you want to overwrite all 500gb with zeros for example I think you'll have to do that with bleachbit or something like that, but that takes longer. Most of the data is still there after normal formating because it's not overwritten and you can recover it relatively easy.

Am I losing out on alot if I 4k game at 32 inches?

I dont need all those extra features, just dumb speakers.

obligatory "who is the artist?" comment

It depends on the panel and how it was made. Some larger panels dont have the same pixel density as smaller panels. So it would be better to get s 27inch 4k monitor then a 32 inch 4k monitor that has a lower pixel density.

You need a kernel with netfilter ip tunneling enabled, then you can use iptables to do all the sorting

Does that mean the input line then functions as output as well? So no need for adapters?

32 should be ok, depending on distance.
It's hard to pass up. You can get a 'dumb' soundbar for a less, or pay a little more for a good one with a subwoofer on sale.
This one is a secret :P

>Some larger panels dont have the same pixel density as smaller panels.
This doesn't make sense. Resolution is the number of pixels. If the size is smaller, the density is tighter.
I don't think you've used different resolutions at different sizes. 4K looks much better than 1080p at 65", and 1080p looks better at 17.3" than 4k.

If you use HWIDGEN to active Wangblows 10, will it automatically activate itself when you do a fresh install?

You would only need to use the lan cable

>This doesn't make sense
You need to educate your self on PPI(Pixels Per Inch)

Thank you.

Best program to recover my HDD files?

nigger, I literally said resolution and size. Are you retarded?
A 10" oled screen from Sony back in 2009 was almost $10,000. Looked great. But it was only 1080p. If it was 4k, it wouldn't have mattered. It was only 10". Resolution doesn't matter that much at that size, unless it is within a certain distance of your eyes all the time.
Read my posts faggot.

>It's hard to pass up. You can get a 'dumb' soundbar for a less, or pay a little more for a good one with a subwoofer on sale.
I'm willing to pay for quality, especially something that i will spend so much time using, but i dont see the need to stream anything from my phone, i already have a media center hooked up on the network and i dont really want a bluetooth device sitting there waiting to be exploited by IoT.The tv is the only thing sending an audio signal, no other tech, toslink isnt really a selling point with no other external audio equipment

bluetooth is an option on almost everything. it doesn't mean you have to enable it.

If you have a 10000 inch 1080 tv that has 100 PPI vs a 27 inch 4k with 180 PPI,you're better off getting the 4k,The manufacturer creates the screens with different PPI's. Its not mutually exclusive to the resolution or format

>but the 10 inch screen is better cause muh pixels
How the fuck are you going to enjoy and use that monitor with a modern tech workload?
Are you going to have your fucking face right up on it? Have a robot ram holding it right in front of your face when you sit in your chair?
Shit aint feasible bitch
>BUT BUT BUT BUT I PLAYED PONG ON A 10 INCH MONITOR IN THE 70'S AND IT WAS SO CRISP
Again, modern usecase

And where is the interface for the soudbar? What web server do i go to to disable its settings?
Bluetooth is dumb by design and just constantly spams its signal every 10 minutes looking to pair with something

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
WIFI IS HACKING ME
>doesn't turn off wifi switch, disabling power to the antenna.
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII?

Fucking Khan posters man lol

Read my post you autistic fuck. I said it wasn't worth it because 'muh oled tech' and even 1080p at 10" didn't look much better than what was on the market then (720p LCD, because you weren't old enough to know).

What's with the traced floor artworks for /sqt/?

It has a physical switch retard.

Trying to use a meme that's used on an artist where the meme was proven false.

Netbeans

Anybody know the name of the software you can use to play games on multi monitors with different resolutions?

Think it was called triple head or something, you just dropped an ini and some other stuff in the game files and it worked for everything

Haven't used it in years

I have already installed the amdgpu-pro driver in my ubuntu machine, but I want to run and write opencl 2.0 stuff, do I just need to install this support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/OpenCL2-Driver.aspx on top of the current driver or do I need something else?

How much of an electricity cost would it be to run a 1060 3GB @ 100% usage 14/h per day for a month, assuming the price of electricity is 12c/kwh?

Is it a drastic increase or is it only maybe $10 a month?

Do you want to mine coins?

No, just games.

This is just a worst case scenario, I highly doubt I will peg out the 1050ti for that long.

I want to see some juicy lolis but my internet provider is blocking many of these lewd sites (including mainstream porn sites like spankbang and pornhub etc). I'm willing to pay for a vpn but some user on the previous thread said not to because its a scam.

What should I do to bypass this third-world censorship?

I have a wireless modem from a phone company, whenever I run out of money in my account all pages redirect me to their captive page. Any way I can go around this?

Where do you live?

Any suggestion for a proper reliable mouse, I don't need fancy features?

I keep getting the double click issue with the mice I bought and I'm not willing to take it apart again just to fix the metal spring and face the same thing a few months later. I don't even game with the damn mouse.

Use a ROCK64 sbc.

I unironically think the logitech g400 is the greatest price–performance ratio mouse there is.

For the people here who have built their own servers, do you defrag the hdds?

Help me out here but is Windows 10 a botnet or some shit? Why do some people dislike Windows 10?

>still on 7 here

If you installed updates on your windows since july 26. 2015, your windows 7 is just as much a botnet as windows 10 is.

I just installed ltsc. At least, I thought I did. I was promised no cortana, edge, store, and start menu bloat, but it's all here. Did I mess up? When I was installing I was asked which version I wanted, I put Pro, should I've put enterprise instead?

I installed the offline Service Pack and Convenience Rollup updates.
Am I fucked?

>Accidentaly the MBR in my hard drive
>Try to reinstall Windows
>Says I have 20GBs less than before
How do I fix this?

Just checked, enterprise is not an option, but pro for workstations and pro n for workstations is. Is that what I am looking for?

Unless you specifically filtered out feature updates that might contain the botnet, yes, very.

I think that loli has autism

What is botnet and what harms does it do? Does it mean it knows all about my porn collection?

Reallocate the bit from the other partition.

bluej is the one most schools and unis use

My laptop fan's ball bearings going out of place causes the fan to rattle very loudly.
I know it's the ball bearings because the rattling only starts happening if the laptop gets moved around, else if the laptop sits still, the problem never occurs.

Anyway my question is, can I ignore the ball bearing going out of position and causing the rattling noise, if I don't care about it being annoying?
