One afternoon ant went to buy a new cpu cooler, on the way home I smoked a ginormous spliff.
When I got home I ripped my computer apart, installed the new cpu cooler, put it back together, try to turn it on, nothing happened, double checked all connectors, everything was fine.

So I took apart again, put it back together, press the power button, nothing.
I'm like fuck, I fried my computer.
I take it apart one more time, check if the cpu is sitting right in it's socket. It's fine.
Put it back together, turn on the PSU, press the power button

its stuff like this that make tinkering with puters stoned not the best idea. I spent a while recently, in the middle of trying to track down a genuine fault, wondering why the fuck my PC suddenly wouldnt even POST. I had the side off and was checking connections trying different RAM and generally getting frustrated when I noticed I had the keyboard in the mouse socket and vice versa.
on the other hand, you can come up with some inspirational ideas for new cooling solutions.

So I got a nasty bit of malware and a few trojans. I removed them sucessfully, but they took my internet access with them. Tried everything under the sun, even stumped the pay-by-hours over at eMachines support.

But that's not important. Will a factory restore wipe my D: partition too?

>> No.26127 Report Ban Global Ban

As long as you point it to the partition the OS is on, it shouldn't. However, backing everything up if possible would be advised.

This morning I get to work only to see this dialog box on all the computers.. I'm absolutely sure I had automatic updates turned off, yet windows decided it would be a good idea to restart my computer to install an update for a browser I don't even use. My workstation had two unsaved documents open, they're gone now.. Our accounting machine hadn't been synched with the database, so we may have lost an entire day's worth of financial records. Yay!

>That'd be like your car, instead of showing a "check oil" light on your dashboard, automatically starts driving to the nearest oil change place without you being able to control it...

It'd be more akin to "Holy shit, the engine is running out of oil during the oil change! I should turn off the engine against the user's will to keep it from causing irreparable damage."

Well for one, we have a UPS, secondly, this building has a generator, and finally, you can't compare an unavoidable natural problem like a power outage with deliberate inept programming by microsoft. There is never a situation where it's acceptable to automatically and forcibly reboot a computer without any interaction from the user.
By your reasoning I should unplug my computer every night and put it on a high shelf just in case there's a flood...

Yes, I damn well should be able to. I'm not saying it's a good idea if you want a computer to use in the future, but protecting someone from themself creates users who lack common sense when the "training wheels" are taken off.

Though I do think the "training wheels" should be left on for 99.999% of the users who use comptuers, but they should still be able to be disabled.

Hello people, I'm very new to Linux but I have a serious problem: I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 without any problems and suddenly my external hard drive stops showing me its files: I see a blank window but it says it has files in there and when I try to do something it shows up an error 'input/output' and I have no idea what's going on, I haven't done anything. I tried several times to mount/unmount it and by rebooting the laptop but nothing happened.

Thanks in advance.

Show some patience. You don't need to keep bumping your own thread. The pic you chose makes it kind of easy to find, but it's not as though we spend every waking moment browsing /tech/.

Diagnosing something like this over an image board is almost an exercise in futility, but here goes:

Is it mounted? What does 'mount -l' say?
What do you get from 'lsusb -v' ? (I'm assuming the external is USB).

i recently figured how to fool jon do into transfering torrent files.
i set jon do as the proxy for tor. i then set tor as the proxy for bitcomet.

tor sends its requests through jon do. remember to port forward the ports 80 and 443 and also you bitcomet listening port

you dont upload any in bitcomet becuase tor takes all the upload with relaying

but you can run your torrents through 2 proxy networks. i download up to 50 to 75kb a sec and curtain times of day. becuase depends how go server is on jon do. but i avg 20 kb a sec. i am also downloading rare music so it might do even better on high seeds. it took me days to get the idea that tor might trick jon do into transfering torrent files. you canot run torrent files directly through jon do.

Hey guys.

After cleaning out my keyboard, I've been having some scroll issues. Normally if I would click the scroll bar and press down, the page would scroll down nice and slowly for my reading pleasure, but when I do this now, I go to the bottom of the page after pressing down once. For some reason going up works ok but its pretty jagged.
Im pretty sure I might have accidentally pressed something that did this but I dont know what the fuck I did.

Help please?

I have this same issue occasionally, and I've found no rhyme or reason to it. Try clicking on the page itself, in a blank area that's just background (nothing that will link) and scrolling.

>> No.26115 Report Ban Global Ban

Ive tried that but to no avail. It did work for a long time until yesterday.

I also noticed this doesnt happen in Chrome (Using firefox atm) so Im guessing I played with a keyboard shortcut that messed with a configuration setting.

I installed the Smooth Scrolling application and it somewhat solved the problem, but its still a bit awkward.

Hey /tech/, looking for some advice with a DVD drive issue I'm having. When I insert any game disk, it will recognize it, but will not auto-run the disk, and it will not allow me to manually execute the installer. I can however explore the contents of the disk, but again it will not allow me to manually execute the installer.

How can I find one I can use? Can I use them to make it harder to track my IP? Is it even possible to track an IP? I download a lot of torrents and read a lot about growing stuff. I don't want any shit to go down.

Protips:

  • Torrents are slow, torrenting trough a proxy will give you insanely slow speeds.
  • Yes, all IPs can be tracked, rather easily.
  • To find HTTP based proxies go to http://www.proxy.org
  • The best practice for "safe" torrenting is to do it via a VPN (Virtual Private Network).
  • HTTP Based proxies are a false sense of security, most are based in the US and server logs can be easily obtained via subpoena.
  • See the attached image for further guidance.
>> No.26101 Report Ban Global Ban

As mentioned above, I wouldn't use a proxy to torrent because of how extraordinarily slow it would be. I use Tor for a lot of "questionable" HTTP traffic, but speed is hit or miss (sometimes sites won't even load at all).

Tor is fun, but I wouldn't use it for transmitting any "questionable" content, recently there has been some concern over rogue exit nodes.
