why is mikan so scared?

Are buying 8TB externals and gutting them to go inside your PC a meme or actually a good idea?

Both WD and Seagates are on sale, good idea to get some if I need the storage?

Where can I download torrents for games?

what is this 'Jow Forums'?

You would be better off buying a regular 8TB HDD, and if you need to plug it in to other computers, just putting it in an external enclosure which costs about $20

i bought this amazon.it/gp/product/B06XYJ6MSM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

there is only a very small opening in the front to let air in, like 10 cm square...did i get memed and will need to remove the front panel everytime i fire up a vidya?

i also installed 3 extra fans on the front.

if I can't get a motherboard for cheap I guess I can spend a little extra to get the most usage out of ram/an ssd. Anything in 75-100$ range or do I have to look further up the price chart?

also,

this is 30% off at the moment but does anyone know if it'll be cheaper tomorrow on cyber monday?

Why the mainstream CPUs don't support triple or quad channel memory usage?

Yeah, definitely the way to go. Would pass on the segate though.

It is the dark side of the moon, torn from her sister's side long long ago (some time last week). We pray for them, but they neither hear nor want our condolences.

a site that once used to be good

It's only good if the external drives you're buying are actually decent drives and you're getting them at a discount vs bare. It's hit-or-miss. The only time it was really good was when WD was putting Reds in their 4 and 6 TB externals. Other than, it's pretty shit.

you can. however there's a major problem. namely:
>WD
>Seagate

I still see significant savings sometimes. I don't speak canada cash though, so idk how those drives compare to market value.

Where can I find a NoScript link that will work with the current version of Waterfox?

What does it mean if your speakers are playing audio normally, but they're not detected by your receiver?

Are any of those SSD features worth a shit like Intel RST or RAPID mode on Samsung?

is the "IPS lottery" as bad as some people say? planning on getting one soon.

Do you guys have sugestions for firewalls?
Im looking for someting to make sure my win10 botnet doesn't phone home

pfsense, but if you really want to fix 10 install LTSB.

'01'.match(/^0|1$/g) returns ['0', '1']

but if i put everything between ^ and $ inside parentheses, it returns null as expected. can someone please explain why do parentheses make any difference here

this is javascript

I've been offered a Samsung G S8 or a Huawei P20 by my provider. Which one is overall the better phone?
The P20 is said to have a better camera, but the Galaxy has a better resolution screen. Are the colors better as well?
I'm upgrading from a Nexus 4 which means I'm really fucking far behind in phone technology (fingerprint scanners and no bezel screens blew me away when I was at the Fido store).
I'm an idort, so jumping to new platforms is not an issue for me.

Possibly. They cycle through a few deals around this time to try and keep people's attention, but it usually pales compared to thanksgiving day, and it's hard to predict. SSDs are on sale all the goddamn time though.

You can get the 500gb for $70 more or go down to this

I wouldn't bother switching out your ram unless you regularly max it out (i.e. leaving your browser open for days at a time)

no don't bother with them

I just got a 2 TB HDD, and I want to move my 2 1 TB HDDs over to it, so that they each have their own partition on the one drive. How do I go about this in Windows 7? If I clone one drive over, Macrium Reflect will not let me clone over the other into the second partition.

I have a message popping up every time my computer starts or gets out of sleep mode telling me my battery needs to be replaced after I accidentally let it powered down one time. Thing is, I goolgled it and followed all the instructions I could find, and not only does the battery still function as it used to, even the BIOS states that it's fine yet the fucking message won't go away. I've tried resetting the BIOS defaults, taking off the battery and leaving it disconnected for some time, cleaning the sockets, running diagnosis and the troubleshooter and nothing works. Is there a way to just fucking disable the stupid message altogether or anything I haven't thought of?
>tl;dr: fucking annoying batter message when it's still working.

I'll soon have a 1440p monitor which means I'll have to start upscaling from 1080p when watching bluray movies. Now, I use madVR but I haven't really gone into the settings, are different methods of upscaling something I have to look into or is it all set for me?

Okay, so I should be fine even if I fuck shit up. But is it possible to change the filesystem on my kindle?

Assuming I
>cp everything from the root partition of my kindle
>format it to, say, ext4
>cp the data back
how likely is it to work?

Use a linux live USB, create the two partitions, then DD the drives to the partitions.

for intake, is a single 200mm fan superior to 2 120mm ones in the front of the case?

>LTSB
Can't find iso or checksum
can't and probably won't download ops pastebin torrent one

>pfsense
How does it fare against tinyWall?

Yes. It will be quieter, and move more air at a lower speed. To get even better performance, shroud it if it isn't already.

>Can't find iso or checksum
Follow the links
>can't and probably won't download ops pastebin torrent one
Then enjoy all the Win10 telemetry shit.
>How does it fare against tinyWall?
Dunno, never used tinywall. pfsense is pretty easy to setup, and you can add apps/features to it. You can make it a pretty powerful router.
If you just need something small/cheap and not very powerful, maybe make a pihole. Heard those are ok if you are the only person a lower bandwidth (home) network.

Laptop battery or BIOS battery?

lifewire.com/how-to-partition-a-hard-drive-2626081
let us know if you bump into a problem

>Follow the links
I did. At least im pretty sure I did

Lookin at cyber monday deals. Mulling over buying an external HDD for backup.

Any brands I should avoid?

Will LTSB work on a tablet?

i ate a line

it looks like shit but if it's cheap enough and he is only going to use it for porn then it'll do fine

What is the filetype?
What is the SD card formatted as?
How are you transferring the files?

HP are shit in general.

Laptop battery. Again, I have checked the BIOS and it says everything is fine and so do the diagnosis and troubleshooters, and it works as usual when the charger is unplugged. Even if there was a problem I just want to get rid of the fucking message.

I'm looking for something that can take a WiFi signal and be used to feed a device connected to it via ethernet.
i.e. for use with a computer without a WiFi card.

Does such a device exist?

Does the battery last as long as it use to?
Is it a Dell?
Try reinstalling the chipset drivers.

Like a USB wifi card?

Sup Jow Forums. I do need some crazy formula for my project report. It is based on OpenCV and it uses aruco markers recognition. All works fine, but my advisor tells me to add math bullshit to report. How do I get such formulae? I scrolled over 10 pages of Google yet still there is no math, only papers about implementing stuff and they are like "we did a great work, there are some decent results" without any description

>Like a USB wifi card?
Thanks. Do you know if they're any good?

they're often better than the internal wifi cards

Most of them aren't great. You won't be getting gigabit with them.
Depends on the internal card. Newer cards are AC and dual band. Doesn't do you any good if your router doesn't broadcast on those bands/Hz

They're both pretty high end phones. Honestly 5 minutes of googling reviews and looking at pro/con lists will tell you most of what you need to know. Samsung is known for having the most vivid screen, but the P20's gonna have a good one two. Also samsung's have a certain amount of planned obsolescence. Their batteries tend to age badly, and updates really slow down their already rather bloated android skin. Great for VR though.

what's the best vpn for torrenting films?

Enterprise is the way to go anyway. You can turn off just as much as in LTSB, but there's nothing missing.

Does anyone know where I can find a circuit diagram for a gridcase 3 plus power supply (the psu is model# 32137)? Or maybe a manual for this thing? Or any of whatever goes in these slots?

apparently wi-fi usb adapters are significantly worse than ethernet, particularly when it comes to downloading speeds. true? i'm building a pc and would like it to be cable-free, so i gotta decide between a cheap usb dongle and moving the modem to this room to use a cable.

pci card

Look for a wireless AC PCIe card. Your router will need to support AC, as well as any other devices you want to have good network speeds with.

So I just got a super spooky email.

It just has my first name in the subject line and in the text. Nothing more, nothing less.
I can see the sender's first name but the address is gibberish and the name doesn't ring any bells to me.
It's a super generic english name but I am not from an english speaking country.

Like what the hell guys?
Is this some kind of a spam bot mindgame where they are like "we got your email address and name bitch"?

I may or may not be freaking out.

I'm using gmail and the mystery person(?) used mail dot com.

should be fine...until someone breaks your window with a brick with your name written on it
just in case burn your house, fake your death, go to himalayas, build a shelter out of your own feces and stay there forever

Definitely the latter if you can swing it. Ethernet is vastly superior to wifi in general. Bear in mind that longass ethernet cables are dirt cheap and can easily be mounted on the ceiling.

It's possible to disable fast charging though the phone?

Attached: 1542306102231.png (833x1024, 646K)

I get that PDFs are not supposed to be edited, but still, what is the best way to do that?

They only fast charge when low on battery. If you keep it over 60% then it shouldn't 'fast' charge.

Acrobat, Office, whatever is the replacement for both of those on Linux.

Do I have to fake my death or can I just kill myself for realzies?

Best free option.
Free Adobe doesn't convert the PDFs, MO doesn't have a free option, only a trial, which isn't viable in the long run.

I'm sorry for the late response

It's just a .jpg
external vfat
through a usb cable

The videos and photos become 0kb once it gets in the pc

>f you keep it over 60% then it shouldn't 'fast' charge.
Enjoy your battery degrade

Foxit might work. Haven't used it in years.
Check there was a software thread up for a while. If it's gone, check the archives.

Make sure you're transfering them with the Phone in MTP transfer mode. If it doesn't work, transfer them wirelessly with TotalCommander app.

Batteries die regardless.

yeah. i thought these were outdated for some reason, question should definitely be between this and ethernet
alright then, think i'll just do this

how do we save taiwan from china?

>Batteries die
Well but you can prolong battery life by charging it correctly.

>Well but you can prolong battery life by charging it correctly.
OP asked how to disable 'fast charge'.
Fast charge only happens when the phone is very low, around 15%.
'Prolong the life' what? That's what firmware is for. If the battery dies, it's because it was programmed to die.

if you kill yourself, you have to completely destroy your body otherwise they will find where you're burried, go to the cementery, pull the coffin out, open it, reanimate you using science and necromancy and then kill you

They can also fuck your corpse before resurrection and then post photo with dick in ur mouth

Well shit. I suppose it's tibetan lessons from here on out...

what if they shit in your mouth, ears, on your eyes and all over the face and then resurrect you so the first thing you will see, hear, smell, taste and feel after being brought to life will be literal shit? i wouldn't want shit to stimulate all my 5 senses at once as a reborn

Foxit is not free for editing, for that you pay 120USD or thereabouts.

Ok, long story short I have no idea what I did but the photo transferring works now.

I think I formatted it as exfat through twrp and then selected portable storage once the phone booted although for a few minutes it wasn't showing anything on the sd card through the windows file explorer then poof it just werked

Thank you for your time

Is there any way I can run Android within Windows, like a VM? I don't mean BlueStacks. I want to just fiddle around with the OS.

What is the best cloud service to upload tons of GB of pirated music and movies to? I thought about paying for unlimited Drive, but I heard they check files and remove pirated copies. Any good alternatives that are unlimited or very high?

Is it bad to leave a hard disk plugged in if you won't be using it for a while?(say 6 months)

androidx86 in a vm?

Hey, Jow Forumsentoomen, it's been a while since I've posted anything on here. I have a quick question.
What external drive do you guys recommend? I need something that's reliable and at least 2 terabytes.

Is there such a thing where I can connect my headphones to 2 devices? Like, use my headphones for my piano and laptop at once? I'm trying to edit some music, but I need to listen to both.

I don't think that you will be able to sense anything for the first ten minutes after respawn

Yes, you can craft or buy for dollar or smth on ebay

under recording devices > microphone properties, do you see anything like 10db boost or AGC?

I have an oldish Lenovo Y500 laptop from college.

What should I do with it? Already have plenty of HTPCs, not interested in selling it (worth more to me to re-purpose it than to sell for a a couple hundred if even that). Have also already salvaged and redistributed the parts I want from it.
