I hooked up a sata harddrive in windows 10.. when I go to disk management, the disk is not there, and of course it's not seen by explorer either. What gives?

What's wrong?

Just redirect.

Where do Jow Forumsentoomen host their software? I want to try out version control via git but github is completely pozzed up and botnet.

How do I make my server "always on"? I want them to restart automatically if the power goes out for an extended period.

>is completely pozzed up and botnet
What? Just use GitHub, retard. Or buy a VPS/self host if you're a schizo.

Looking deeper into this, it seems that because I shucked this drive from an external enclosure, that's caused some problems with the drive.

It's a brand new one never powered on. Are there any options for me to get this drive recognized by windows?

My school has some 2017 5K iMacs, and I have a Thinkpad X200. Both are using WiFi, yet the iMacs are so much faster. When I open google.com on the iMac, the site loads in a tenth of a second. When I open google.com on my Thinkpad, the screen is white for about a second and then the page loads. What could be some reasons why the iMac is faster, and what can I do to make my Thinkpad load faster?

My gtx970 had been running kinda hot since forever and I finally got around to buying more thermal paste and redoing it. The end result was idle temps dropping from ~56C to ~43C with a sort of a keep quiet fan curve. The problem is that the card still hits its 80C temp limit under heavy load with fans at 100%. If I raise the limit to 90C it'll shortly climb up there.

I did my best to clean the dust off the card but it seems that it wasn't enough. Is this a case of a shitty cooler or is there something more I can do? As far as I understand the card is thermal throttling though according to Afterburner it's also hitting 100% usage so maybe it isn't? I feel really stupid about this but even if I've been building my own PCs since I was like 12 I've never really had any fancy builds and never really put that much thought into thermals.

Those boys are so cute!

Obviously it's a bit less protection for the drive, but as long as the cable is made for 3.5 inch drives it's fine. In practical terms that usually means having an external power source.

You might need to mod your cables or buy a special one for shucked drives. Some of them have a pin that's not compatible with a lot of home PSUs, so the drive just won't run.

Not unless your drive is like 7+ years old. Not having 10-15 gb free might slow it down a bit if it's cheap enough to not have any overprovisioning built in.

Those are from the wifi card.
Usually it goes like this
"in the beginning there is darkness then there is light"
right to left. black to white but on Intel cards it is usually reversed, you can refer to the color of sticker arrows.
On other cards the order doesn't matter but there are cards that don't like that. Might be anode polarization.

wireless antenna (wifi and/or bluetooth and/or SIM)

Thanks mate, I need this shit for work. I'll give Libreoffice a go.

You should also plug the wires into the card but be careful as it can break if forced in the wrong way.
The missing piece is just another mini pcie slot that the manufacturer removed.
Those are wifi card antennas and also work as bluetooth antenna on dual cards. It should be connected to the card.

>right to left.
Sorry it was supposed to be left to right.

why cant we have cpu cache as big as our ram? (assuming we could afford it)
is there any reason why cache is capped at a few MB (8-16MB on most modern CPUs)?
why not have the option to give your CPU cache 128MB, 512MG, 1GB? 16GB?

Is C just the compiler?

I mean, does C exist without the compiler? To me it seems that the compiler is the language itself. It is the compiler that defines the language, and we, humans, pass instructions to the compiler. Of course, we defined the compiler too.

But what I mean is, the compiler turns our code into machine code. Of course, it is then a buffer between human and machine, but that buffer defines the human language accepted by the machine, and thus it defines the language.

To me it seems that the compiler came before the language. Am I raving mad?

Also, could you point me towards good compiler books? I never thought I'd say this but I think I want to learn how compilers work, nitty gritty.

the bigger the cache the slower it is

thank you user i really appreciate

what math am I even supposed to be doing here?

I'd say the partition starts at address 512 * 2^20 * 33

Not true but maybe true to most cheap ssd.
Even if you delete such files, files usually remain. What it does is usually just delete pointers to that address and your OS just thinks it's free space.
If you want to try how slow true deletion is uncheck 'quick format' on a test flash drive. Truly deleting a file into zeroes will just reduce life span of your ssd

Good question, user!
I didn't even know the i7-9700KF was even a thing.

the kf one is cheaper here than the k one.
how much varies from store to store.

but wouldn't it be just 34*512?

No on-chip GPU for the 9700KF
pay more for less because reasons!

it says byte-addressed, so you have to convert the MiB to bytes. I'd say the 34th sector starts at 33*512*2^20, like the first sector starts at 0*512*2^20

Is there an Android app that will act as a bluetooth mic and use the phone audio as a source rather than the mic on the phone?

Had to return my Gigabyte 2070 because it died. It was a 2-slot GPU. The only EVGA GPU (2070 XC Ultra) in stock at the store I have store credit for is a 2.75 slot card. Is there any reason why this would be a problem in a mATX case/on a mATX board? There’s enough slots and I don’t plan to use the other PCI-e port.
I want to go with EVGA because I hear their customer support is the best, but the store has MSI 2070s in stock as well if they’re just as good.

Why are computers so cryptic? I thought my 3 months old PSU was giving me the issue of the shutdown/sometimes rebooting before getting into win 7, sometimes nothing happening and no beeps whatsoever. So I do the "leave 1 memory stick to see if it works", it booted normally, so I try to put both and run memtest86, but it won't boot to the fucking USB, but now win 7 runs fine. I'm not sure if it's the mem stick or it's the slot fucking up

what's even more cryptic is that this type of thing doesn't happen to normies somehow

are there any free audio hosting sites that I can use to embed the audio (in a simple html site for example) without any fancy player design or anything like that (like soundcloud or bandcamp does)? just straight up your brower's default player and that's it

A bit odd, but I believe soundgasm allows for free audio hosting (With an account, I think) you could try putting something up there and calling it from an audio tag. (Keep in mind soundgasm is NSFW, so I'd keep looking for something similar)

Other than that, is there something preventing you from hosting the mp3 on the same server the html file is?

What's a good, relatively inexpensive (up to $20-$30) PCI-E x1 NIC? I have a NAS and it's using the integrated NIC but it only gets around 60MB/s which is poor for gigabit. It could be the CPU being too slow but I think a dedicated NIC will help and will also free up the CPU in the process. I'm guessing something Intel based but any specific chipsets known for good performance would help too.
