tech support Dual Boot Ubuntu Help
.Ocean replied to DylNicolax's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
Im unsure of the problem here...are you having trouble burning the image to the drive with rufus? Or are you having trouble booting from the drive? If its the former I don't know what to say, rufus doesnt want to play nice with the drive. To help you there we will need more info. If its the latter then its most likely secure boot being enabled or a setting to do with legacy/uefi boot options. Try playing with those in the BIOS -
Router randomly resets, should I get a new router?
.Ocean replied to Matt64091's topic in Networking
It sounds like its overheating, is it well ventilated? Are you keeping it in a cool place? -
New build freezes randomly with no consistencies
.Ocean replied to Thejudd88's topic in Troubleshooting
I would recommend a clean install of your OS -
Make sure your phone is set to DHCP IP or to automatically get an IP. On top of that make sure your access point is behaving properly

Building with a am3+ motherboard in 2019?
.Ocean replied to yungdaggerdick's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
I'm still running an 8350 from when I first built my computer years ago and performance is still completely fine. If all they are doing is netflix etc. then it will be more than enough and considering people have such a hateon for the fx series you can probably pick up the hardware nice and cheap -
Linux 18.04 Login Loop (standard fix not working)
.Ocean replied to GenericAssassin's topic in Troubleshooting
I'm not super knowledgeable on the issue but if nouveau is still showing up in the log its probably still screwing about. I would hunt for other methods to disable it. There is a launch option to change for GRUB I think? -
What's the consensus on the best thermal paste available these days?
.Ocean replied to ProtoflareX's topic in Cooling
Ive always found Arctic MX-4 to be amazing but all quality thermal pastes are so closely matched it really doesn't matter -
Xbox 360 finding out that people was leaking stuff
.Ocean replied to AnimeKnight99's topic in Console Gaming
I think its a very interesting way to catch people. It doesn't matter what you think about any leak. Information leaks and NDA violations have a real impact on a company in many ways, its why they exist in the first place. Microsoft felt the need to dole out punishments for people violating their contracts and negatively affecting their business so they came up with a method to do it. I think this is really neat info about a really neat console. But I don't really get the point of your post. -
How many RADS does it take to cool a PC fan less.
.Ocean replied to Ory!'s topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
There is a decent amount of math you would have to do here, calculate the surface area or the radiators, find out what temperature the liquid will be, calculate the heat transfer from the radiators to the ambient temperature of the room. Maybe google a thermodynamics 101 course to try to figure it out -
Discord is heavily related to audio settings, I would check to see if Discord has access to control your microphone volume
-
Is then when your computer is recently booted and nothing else is running? Some programs will hijack control of your microphone volume and adjust it in the background. This is very common with steam games but it could very easily be something else

So you followed the first part of my advice and did install with only one of the drives attached... Like I said I know Windows really doesn't get along well with other partitions on the install drive but completely separate drives are another story and you wont have to worry if you only have one drive attached during install. Its not like windows can complain about a drive that isn't even attached.
-
I have a friend who does this by swapping drives whenever he wants to use a different os. That isn't ideal though and I know from personal experience that windows hates getting along with other drives. With that being said. I have a SSD and a HDD, the SSD has windows 10 while the HDD has windows 7. I never boot from the HDD but I still grab files off of it. I just installed the related version of windows normally to each drive, no errors encountered.

I would recommend googling the serial number on the white sticker that is just underneath the cpu socket. Maybe give it a once over for any more telling stickers.

16gb ram, but only 7.96 gb usable?
.Ocean replied to ArcticEngineer's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Also check to make sure the version of whatever OS you are using supports 16GB of ram. I had some capacity be ignored by windows when I was running home premium instead of pro -
Just take a walk through IKEA, cheap and well made stuff (if you dont mind polyboard)

Websites which knows your new password is similar to your old one
.Ocean replied to Rakanoth's topic in Programming
AHH so it was a misunderstanding after all. They are not checking the similarity of the hashes, they are attempting to generate the old password by applying slight modifications to the current password supplied and then seeing if that produces the SAME digest that they have on record. -

.Ocean replied to Rakanoth's topic in Programming
I would greatly like you to provide a source for this. It does not make any sense for a Cryptographic Hash function to have similar outputs for similar inputs, it just doesn't make sense. At this point I am sure there is some misunderstanding taking place and I would like to read up on the process myself so I can try to determine what is going on here. While it may be true that collisions are guaranteed with hash functions (mapping infinite inputs to a finite number of outputs). The entire purpose of the design is to avoid predictability between the input and the output. To drive this point home please take a look at the Avalanche Effect wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalanche_effect this is one of the main properties that all good hash algorithms will maintain and hopefully this clarifies the idea for you. -

.Ocean replied to Rakanoth's topic in Programming
This simply isn't true. No self respecting intern worth their salt (see what I did there) would attempt to compare the similarity between digests to infer the similarity of the string that got you that digest. The entire point of a digest is that even a single bit change in the input will give you a unique and wildly different output. One of the core principals of hash algorithm design is that they are not predictable. -
What exactly do you mean hands on? Buying an old enterprise server is pretty hands on, if you mean messing with the guts of a system everyone gets that experience building their desktop.

Buying old enterprise rackmount servers off of ebay is also a good route

To the guy who told me to turn off windows auto restart option
.Ocean replied to gbergeron's topic in Power Supplies
I actually have this same issue and don't know how to solve it. So that makes this post mighty purposeful and if you could....where is the auto restart setting?
