Theoretically, yes, but in practice you almost certainly overwrote some of the blocks, and those nudes that girl sent you when you were both 16 are gone and you should be grateful because that's a massive legal infraction if they weren't.

Alright, that worked better than expected.
Last time I tried to add this file and rebooting, I couldn't reach my desktop. Xorg refused to start until I removed the file, but pic related works.
Thank you very very much user!

Can i recover data from a laptop that was encrypted with bitlocker without password or key?

>Return it Jamal
Owner encrypted it without knowing what bitlocker was, im recovering CAD documents only.
I don't even have the laptops in my hands yet, just wondering if its worth it taking this job or if its pointless.

Ryzen 3600, GTX 1660 or better and a SSD done.
Tell us your budget, the game is not really that intensive, just shitty/inefficient.

this is bullshit though, they use cheap plastic to make those and they tend to crack

>Haswell and newer
Yes.
>Sandy bridge and older
No.

I'm growing increasingly angry while using Windows 10, it's utter shit, and I'm one shitty experience away from just going crazy and becoming a hermit, abandoning my family and all technology.

Question is, is there any way to get an i5 9400f and GTX 1660 running with Windows 7, or should I just go live in the woods?

so when you want to add something at the bottom it's just one click? well that's why I enable it anyway

Lumix G7

Are there any simple ways using commonly available items to increase the reception of a shitty pocket wifi? Like putting it in a tin can or behind some foil or something?

even the old t410 was like that, the palmrest was made of really cheap plastic and it would just crack with normal use

Install windows 10 2019 LTSC.
Once done install updates manually (cumulative updates)
Disable forced updates, defender and telemetry in group policy.

There, as good as it gets.

Amplifier?

I'm already using LTSC with everything disabled.

Bluescreen issues, too many restrictions even with LTSC and group policy edits.

you can have as many drives as you have connection ports and of any type. my desktop has 3 SSDs and 1 HDD and my laptop has 2 SSDs

there are programs for cloning a windows install from one drive to another, but I've never used any and don't even know any names.

Disk clone, and then repair via safe mode, most of the time it requires a little tinkering with the bootrec command, from personal experience, assuming you use Windows.

disk-partition.com/articles/cloned-hard-drive-ssd-wont-boot-4348.html

nah, it’s a flux capacitor

Assuming you aren't pretending to be retarded, that's an m.2 SSD.

That's not RAM lad, it's an SSD. M2 NVME I think.

Why does moving a ten thousand 1 KB files take so much longer than moving a single 10 MB file?

why if you make a full disk image and compress it with winrar, it's smaller than if you compress all the files into one file using winrar?

Well this is the stupid questions thread so I'm forced to assume you're not trolling and are really that retarded.
So I'll answer with the equally retarded joke the cashier at the Microcenter made when I bought one of those things.

I'm upgrading from an i3 8100 and Asrock H310 board to an i7 9700k and MSI Z390 Pro.

Can I clone the drive and save myself the trouble of reinstalling windows, or will there be driver issues?

It won't. Windows used to nuke the bootloader and install its own, so you have to sometimes reinstall the bootloader if you install windows second.

how bad is windows 10 when compared to 7?

HP Streams are actual beasts. They are cheap as fuck but mine has lasted me 3 years now

It's usable but there are a lot of annoying problems where you try to do something and it should work but it doesn't because microsoft deliberately broke it because it doesn't trust you with /their/ intellectual property. But you don't have a choice if you want windows on new hardware.
I mean, see windows 8 for just how stupid they think the average computer user is. And they were right by the way, they are that dumb, but they've all learned over time how to handle things in a certain way and 8 was actually so dumbed down that I couldn't figure out how to do anything in it, so there's no way a moron would unless they'd never used a computer before.
LTSC is a bit better about that since it doesn't include so much of the dumbed down bloatware for retards.

Are there any tools for windows or an Android app that can capture a video and display it's actual frame rate and resolution? I have some video feeds I want to compare quality and frame rate and confirm what the real rates are versus what's being claimed.

So I'm trying to pin down a problem of a PC. I have switched everything to check the source of the issue, besides the CPU, so it's between that and the mobo. Sometimes the PC will shutdown under load, sometimes with a buzzing sound when playing games. Switching the GPU's PCIe slot didn't make a difference, and same for a different GPU. This GA-970A-UD3 mobo will also do long beeps when not booting, and the manual says it's "GPU not inserted properly". It will sometimes keep doing that beeping and suddenly finally boot surprisingly. Is the motherboard done for?

how can we fight windows 10?

Is anyone familiar with throttling? I downloaded a ton of porn recently thanks to the sadpanda thing and I feel like I'm being throttled but I don't have experience with it.

Would throttling make everything go insanely high in latency?
I've been watching resmo all day and my browser keeps spiking to 6k the second I decide to change pages. I just replaced the modem and wires and the problem is persisting on all of my devices.

so there's no way to fix it? not even with extensions?
fuck

It could be that your PSU is being overloaded. And if it can't provide enough power to the GPU, it might fail to be noticed on boot. But it could just be your motherboard is toast.
Install an operating system that respects your freedom.

It can't possibly be the PSU, I've tested 3 including a brand new Seasonic one and they all have the same issue.

>Install an operating system that respects your freedom.
which one?

I'm on Verizon on my phone but I have a Galaxy s9 plus. Why can't I surf the Internet and talk on the phone at the same time? Is there a way to fix this in the developer options or in his regular options?

Call your ISP and bitch. When they slow my speeds down once every 4 months or so I call them niggers and they usually fix it and apologize. Then again I’m on 1gb fiber optic unlimited.

Is there a way of completely encrypting an internal drive and having grub on an external drive so there is no unencrypted boot partition?

are 2.5" hard drives necessarily any less reliable than 3.5" hard drives?

Motherboard, slot or PSU are kill.

Yes there is a huge difference between the two when it comes to reliability.

My Samsung Galaxy S6 won't charge anymore.

Whenever I plug it in the orange light to indicate charging doesn't show up,

It still warms up though as if it was charging. Wut do?

Use a different flash drive.
Use a downloaded ISO and rufus.

Mount it?

Is there an easy way to copy all of the file names in a folder in windows 10 to a text document or spreadsheet?

I've got a list of a few thousand files that I need the names of and I'm a brainlet when it comes to programming/scripting.

I blush to confess that I didn't know what that was. Thanks.

>I think I may have killed my HDD with my new PSU.
I dug out an old disk drive and plugged it into the PSU and my rig booted without any problems, I think the issue is my HDD. I left the SATA power cable from my old PSU connected to the hdd during my first boot and immediately corrected the mistake after it didn't run, I didn't hear/smell anything and the drive looks fine but all signs point to it being fried by the new psu.
It's over lads, I mainly use this rig for games and I wasn't smart enough to back it up, is there a chance I can salvage it?
I'm ordering a new SSD this weekend, is there anything else I can do? Am I going to have to pirate Win 8.1 or is w10 finally viable for gaming?

Hey, im gonna start learning to program in Python using the automatetheboringstuff.com . My question is: should i buy Automating the Boring Stuff Book?

After a bit of googling I figured out a somewhat easy way:

Putting "dir /a /b /-p /o:gen >names.txt" in a text file and saving it as .bat did the trick.

Thanks for the assistance though, user.

I have an HP Microserver at home with CentOS installed on them. There is running an SMB and Nextcloud on it.

Question:
Now I want to install docker to segmenting the applications from each other. Is this now possible after installed the applications before to take them in a docker container afterwards?

Attached: docker.png (1200x1071, 567K)

Are touch-screen or android flip-phones a thing? Anything good or standout?

If the ports are free, Docker containers containing an application have NOTHING to do with the application itself installed on the host.

there's no generic way to do it, you'll have to migrate each application separately but it should be possible
i'd start by spinning up containers of the application docker images then seeing what config you have to copy across then create docker images out of those that you can just spin up and teardown as you please

When people said "this game is CPU-intensive", what does it means and how can we physically see it? Stutter? Freezing?

Afaik the only time CPU choice is important in games is that using an underpowered CPU will bottleneck GPU performance but I don't know how CPU will directly affecting gaming.

I mean, I saw how SSD and RAM is important to a gaming computer's performance to some extent but I just can't see which part in the game that actually use CPU power

>me
newfag with docker

Ports are free, but I can also define them by myself or? But the other thingmakes sense, thanks.

So you mean I should download smb and nextcloud in a finished docker container on dockerhub and then copying the configuration on it?

>download smb and nextcloud in a finished docker container on dockerhub and then copying the configuration on it?
pretty much, if your config doesn't change a lot you can create a new docker image using the ones from docker hub as a base and overlaying your config on top of it using a Dockerfile
some docker images can be configured using shared volumes/mounts which allow you to share folders/files between your host machine and the container, for those you don't need to create custom images with your own configuration since you can just mount you existing configuration

the CPU has to feed the GPU instructions on what to draw
if you have tons of models on screen each with their logic it will be the CPU doing all that work, the GPU is pretty dumb but can do a lot of work in parallel so it won't be doing the state transition calculations for all the models in the game
especially if the game has a lot of AI, most of that is usually done in the CPU since it can't really be parallelised well
