Yes it does. Start using CentOS for server purposes. Get comfy enough with it that you can figure out what you're doing on at least a basic level. There's also certifications if you want to add stuff to your resume

is there a free way to vpn to my home network? like so that a file manager on my phone can access network shares away from home.

So I'm just browsing the net right now and suddenly my display switches to white noise for a second or two then goes back to normal.
What the hell was this?

I'd say there's a very small possibility of a signal disruption from the outside. But this is the first time I saw an issue like this. Display just turned to static for a second when I opened a Spotify tab.
This isn't a GPU hardware issue, is it? Event Viewer doesn't show any errors and I didn't hear any plug-n-play sounds.

ANSWER ME YOU PEDERASTS

Not necessarily tech related but has anyone here ever been "scammed" by a key site? There's a huge thread on Reddit warning about buying from kinguin. I've only ever bought from key sites for the past 5 years or so without buyer protection and never had an issue.

Anons, what was that site in which you can watch embedded youtube videos and have down load buttons..

I just bought a second hand T430 and installed windows 7 on it. Is there a way to may the text not hurt my eyes? I've been using mint on an x200 and the font there was really good.

Also how do I automatically update extension in Ungoogled-Chromium. It's annoying that I can't just auto update from the store.

My friend, you do not want to use alcohol wipes on electronic screens it will damage them by removing the coating yes they are good for things like eye glasses but are very bad for electronic screens

Why does it hurt your eyes? Are you saying the font rendering in Windows 7 is the issue? Please elaborate.

Thx for the speedy reply

maybe you could provide a hint for my question here ?

There looks like some rings sound the text making them blurry with some capatalized text having different widths for some of the lines. It's really bad in the task bar too as the text is harder to make out. I tried to change the theme from Yotsuba b to Tomorrow and it does not look as bad now but still a long way away from Mint.

Nope, idk sorry

Can I simulate user input using a file? I don't want to rewrite the program to read from a file. The thing is the program reads commands like mkdir , ls -R, etc, and I have a file with commands like those in each line. Is there a way to run it like ./program < input.file?

I have a motherboard that only has PCIe x8 slots. I have a 7870 attached to it using an x8->x16 riser, but it can only handle 4k @ 30hz over HDMI. Is there an x8 card that can handle 4k@60hz so I don't have to use a riser cable? If not, what's the absolute cheapest card that will support 4k@60? I only need it for office use and maybe the occasional youtube video

EVGA makes an x8 physical (x4 electrical) GT1030 that'd work fine for desktop/video stuff newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487396&Description=gt 1030&cm_re=gt_1030-_-14-487-396-_-Product

Could use a DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 active converter on the 7870.

What motherboard is it?

Using the audio out of my motherboard I get a lot of static so I'm using the optical out to a FiiO D3, what's the best thing I can connect that to so I can have good speakers and use my headphones if I need to?
GT 1030 GDDR5 or RX 550 iirc

It is stallmans stinky foot that he peels skin off of and eats
Thats what the bottom notch is, fat man stallman ate that portion of it

Any generic speaker amp with headphone out. Or headphone specific amp + active speakers.

Haven't seen any x8 (or x4) physical RX 550s

Touchpad on my laptop stopped working. Still in warranty. What do I tell them to get my money back?

Any reccomendations for black friday?

Don't those active converters usually introduce all sorts of bullshit? (Can I just use a passive converter?)

Thanks btw, that 1030 seems to be the answer.

Active converters are fine so long as it's specifically one that supports HDMI 2.0 out. "Passive" converters are effectively the video card sending HDMI data at DisplayPort voltages, so you'd be limited to HDMI 1.3 spec on a 7870, no 4K60.

For a hacky solution you could also get a craft knife and cut the back plastic off of your motherboard's first x8 slot then any regular x16 card would fit and work fine. Can also cut the back x8 off of the card and file it down carefully.

So, I've read that the Ryzen 1600x shows temps 20 degrees too high in HWMonitor and the like, but the AMD's own Radeon settings tool and Ryzen Master show the correct temp.
My question is, does the thermal throttling happen when HWMonitor and stuff see the thermal throttle cap already, or only when Ryzen Master hits it?

Thanks, what's the cheapest and easiest option in your option?

That 1030 x8 card is $65 shipped which is okay. Is an active converter a better option or will there be compromises?

Moving to the 1030 would be the better option IMO if you're not gonna do anything that needs the 7870's better GPU performance, 1030 has better video decode support and much lower power consumption.

If going active converter, this is fine newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812400858&Description=hdmi 2.0 mini displayport&cm_re=hdmi_2.0_mini_displayport-_-12-400-858-_-Product

For something noob friendly, consider whatever generic Blu-ray player from a name brand with USB port. Definitely gonna find something on a good special on black friday, and the UI will generally be better than the cheapo chinese media player boxes.

Thanks. If a passive converter is just HDMI signal sent over DVI-D, then how does an active converter work? Does it have basically a GPU in it?

Reads in the DisplayPort data to a tiny RAM buffer, spits it out as HDMI data.

where can i activate windows for free I want to change my miku wallpaper

Microsoft Toolkit.

interesting, thanks

so is there any downside to using a simple displayport -> HDMI 2.0 adapter? It's $30 vs $65 for the GPU

The lack of more modern video decode support may break 4K playback from some sources unless you have a pretty beefy CPU;

>Pros: This product works perfectly; it converts HDMI to DisplayPort, and passes audio. IT DOES NOT WORK BACKWARDS, as there is no such product that will convert DisplayPort to HDMI! This product also has the added benefit of not having the DP locking "fangs" that typically retain the DP connection in the source equipment, which can be a hassle to release in some occurrences.

:thinking:

Where did you see that?
