  1. Yea the point here is I don't wanna pay for it, as I am skint and so am coding it myself, and need to load the images, audio, etc as an error checking step
  2. I am reading those exact values the magic bytes, for example the first 7 bytes of a PNG are 137, 80, 78, 71, 13, 10, 26, 10, BUT what I want to do is a second error check to make sure that the file is actually a PNG and not a diffrent file with similar magic bytes at the start. Which is done by loading it as an image, and seeing if that works. I was trying not to use any 3rd party dlls as that means that any code built using this as a reffrenence also download said dlls, (unless I am mistaken) but I have given up and am used NuGet to add System.Drawing.Common, which has what I need. And Tiffs ones are Big endian 73, 73, 42, 0 Little endian 77, 77, 0, 42 (if I remember correctly)
  3. Problem is, I am trying to check to see if the file extension is wrong, as I am taking a large number of files with no file extension and trying to find it's file extension, so I need to error check that any image that I try to get is actually an image. I am also going to do a similar thing with video and audio. I am checking the magic bytes as well and this is an add on to this that I am doing to check that the guess is correct, as the guessing from magic bytes is still a massive guess. So in theory changing your file extension of a file to png still be flagged as the old file type (e.g. jpg, bmp, txt, other), so yea. And thanks I will try that. And I have not got onto pdfs yet, but I will be going on to them later, after sorting other file types out.
  4. As the tital says how do I load an image in C# using .NetStandard. The aim of the function is just to confirm the file is definately a image, be it png, bmp, ico, tiff or webp. Also because it makes it easier for me if it can only use currently inbuilt tools and no NuGet files that would be swell as I plan to build this as a libary to use this externally in other code I am running to check if files have the correct file extension EDIT: Because I forgot to say this before and a number of people have suggested it. I am readeding the magic bytes (the bytes that say Hey I'm a PNG etc.) but in an attempt to error check that these are deffinately correct I want to load it as an image. The entire point of the code is to detect file types, more specifically the file types of files in a chache which do not have file extensions and by just checking for the magic bytes does not always work correctly, e.g. you get mp4s which aren't mp4s, or pictures which aint pictures etc.
  5. thing is, I already need to buy a new case and spending money on a new case then another £40 on a fast external reader doesn't not sound as efficent as juts buying a case with support. As I already one some internal readers
  6. Another problem is it's not avaliable in the UK and the Shippint to the UK is expesive
  7. yea I know it's both understandable and annoying when you still need to use it for driver disks for wierd old programmes for FPAs or old games I have just looked at the Rosewell one their and it is breaking my mind, why does it have support for 2 PSUs, when as far as I can see it only supports 1 Motherboard at a time
  8. That's great an all but the main problem is it's over £60 over budget I have a budget of £45-75 and it's £130 This case would work right https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/jrVBD3/phanteks-case-phes515pbk
  9. Pretty much as the title says I need a new case for my PC (I have all the other parts but the last case sorta broke, whoops turns out using it as a footstools is not a good idea) and it's currently out of commision anyways so what is a good case to transplant the PC to. it needs to be ATX and havea 5.25" drive bay (so I can get an internal disc reader in it (as I do occasionally actually need to use CDs and yes I do know the year )) It also needs to support at least 1 360mm rads as I have one to coole my 1920X (it sorta broke but I am RMAing it) and as much cooling ability as possible would be great as I quite like having a PC that doesn't overheat (I was thinking at least 2 other fans excluding the rad fans, perferrably filtered). I don't know cases great so that's why I am asking here. And the budgets about £45-75 (lower is better). Also at least 1 internal 3.5" is needed (again more better) Also on a side note setting up a new topic on a laptop with broken left and right click buttons is hard
  10. @Lurick @Ryan_Vickers @LukeSavenije ok so I am thinking as it's just a display adapter for a 1080p screen which is normally used for web browsing (more on the other uses later) I was thinking reccomending a 750 or 750 ti instead the main question here is is it just plug and play or is there a bit of footering involded Also he uses that screen for video and photo editing on that using premiare pro and photoshop and uses both screens when doing so (I think one screen for his tools the other for editing) will this cause issues and if hes ever doing GPU accelerated rendering will it automatically select the 1060 or will he be stuck with the 750/750ti
  11. As the title says I have a server and it won't post. I had it working about 6 months ago then I needed to move it as I was moving house. After doing so it has stopped working and I can't work out why. I have reseatted the CPU drives and RAM reset the BIOS with both the onboard button and removing the bios battery.
  12. oh right never mind I didn't think that was possible right thanks
  13. My friend wants to run 2 GPUs (1 1060 1 1050) in his system each running a different display? from what I know and remember the answer to can you do this is no, am i remembering correctly??? if you can how???
  14. Sound on Motherboards has been pretty good for a while now and if you want better sound you would need to use an external DAC etc. anyways. As for thermal paste paste the stock thermal paste will be fine but if your worried it won't be get some on amazon while your at it, good thermal paste is $5-8 max normally (NT-H1 is pretty good and not that much) but if your not overclocking stock is fine.
  15. yea and the performance difference for $80 is worth it
  16. I pressed the wrong button, wheeshed Edited the comment now to say something
  17. The list is below. The parts in this list are pretty much just as good (motherboards ever so slightly worse but nothing in a meaningful way. the ram is the same just cheaper pretty much and by using a stock cooler your saving $90 enabling most of this) PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant Type Item Price CPU AMD - Ryzen 7 2700 3.2 GHz 8-Core Processor $249.89 @ OutletPC Motherboard MSI - B450-A PRO ATX AM4 Motherboard $95.73 @ Amazon Memory G.Skill - Aegis 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory $90.98 @ Newegg Storage Crucial - MX500 1 TB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive $134.85 @ OutletPC Video Card EVGA - GeForce RTX 2070 8 GB Black Video Card $499.99 @ Amazon Case Cooler Master - MasterBox Pro 5 RGB ATX Mid Tower Case $74.25 @ Amazon Power Supply Corsair - RMx (2018) 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply $88.99 @ Amazon Monitor Dell - D2719HGF 27.0" 1920x1080 144 Hz Monitor $179.89 @ OutletPC Keyboard Redragon - K551-RGB VARA Wired Standard Keyboard $49.99 @ Amazon Mouse Redragon - COBRA M711 Wired Optical Mouse $19.89 @ Amazon Headphones Corsair - VOID PRO RGB USB (White/Black) 7.1 Channel Headset $49.99 @ Corsair Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total (before mail-in rebates) $1554.44 Mail-in rebates -$20.00 Total $1534.44 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-02-23 20:07 EST-0500
  18. Shit I have been doing gaming wrong this entire time, no wonder I can't get above 5 fps
  19. That was when it first launched you should be fine now (and hell if your not it will be replaced by your warranty) also it wasn't every card that was affect only a few so you'd just be unlucky to get one that did even if the problem still fully existed
  20. I forgot that the stock coolers aren't all shit anymore and AMDs stock coolers are pretty good. (and I went for a CPU cooler which is good enough) also that CPU cooler is better than the stock coolers (not massively but still better)
  21. Changes CPU Cooler same teir of CPU cooler on the performance tier just cheaper CPU change (2600 is a 2600X pretty much not worth the extra $35) Found pretty much the same ram for cheaper and it's black not blue so doesn't stand out as much (might matter to you might not)) using RTX 2070 now not 2060 will affect gaming performance and is worth some of the other minor sacrifices Forgot the 2600 has a good stock cooler if your not overclocking use that instead saving you $40 which could be used for pocket change or 2700 (would put you $20 over if you did that though but that comes with a cooler and extra 2 cores are nice to have) PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant Type Item Price CPU AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor $164.99 @ Amazon CPU Cooler Cooler Master - MasterAir MA410P 66.7 CFM CPU Cooler $39.89 @ OutletPC Motherboard MSI - B450-A PRO ATX AM4 Motherboard $95.73 @ Amazon Memory G.Skill - Aegis 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory $90.98 @ Newegg Storage Crucial - MX500 1 TB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive $134.85 @ OutletPC Video Card EVGA - GeForce RTX 2070 8 GB Black Video Card $499.99 @ Amazon Case Cooler Master - MasterBox Pro 5 RGB ATX Mid Tower Case $74.25 @ Amazon Power Supply Corsair - RMx (2018) 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply $88.99 @ Amazon Monitor Dell - D2719HGF 27.0" 1920x1080 144 Hz Monitor $179.89 @ OutletPC Keyboard Redragon - K551-RGB VARA Wired Standard Keyboard $49.99 @ Amazon Mouse Redragon - COBRA M711 Wired Optical Mouse $19.89 @ Amazon Headphones Corsair - VOID PRO RGB USB (White/Black) 7.1 Channel Headset $49.99 @ Corsair Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total (before mail-in rebates) $1524.43 Mail-in rebates -$35.00 Total $1489.43 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-02-23 19:49 EST-0500
  22. I clicked on here thinking you has poured cake on your keyboard and was coming to see the story behind it. I must say I am disappointed You could use Isopropyl alcohol and soak the keys in there or use water or similar (if you do use the alcohol some key caps reacts badly to it (especially the rubber top ones I learnt that by accident and needed to buy a new wasd set (which are metal so are cooler than the previous ones)))
  23. This is the filtered search on intel Ark listing all better supported CPUS (search is rough so few might be missed and vise versa but those ones shouldn't be significantly better) https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/search/featurefilter.html?productType=873&1_Filter-SocketsSupported=3635&3_CoreCount-Min=4&3_ClockSpeed-Min=2900 I recommend the i7 4790 i7 4790S i7 4790k E3-1286 v3 (those xeon are sexy as fuck and totally aren't stupid in any way ) All i5s would be a be a minor upgrade, so would not recommend spending money on them. As for pricing I do not know where your from and "local" pricing and can't be arsed VPNing to find "local" pricing for the CPUs in your country on ebay or gumtree or craiglist or any generic second hand resale site.
  24. You are just assuming that, you don't know what happens when the cameras are off, poor Eeyore gets beaten daily for the simplest of things like looking at Whinne in the incorrect way, or having an opinion.
