Typical.
Not unexpected for a system of this sort.
Memory is soldered onto the motherboard.

@allquixotic lots of people seem to have missed that memo. I see too many "why are X" questions closed as not an actual problem the user's facing...
@OliverSalzburg probably because something already launched an explorer process somewhere... any attempt to launch explorer after the first one will open a window instead
@JourneymanGeek now it's a toss-up between qbittorrent and deluge, IIRC
@DragonLord they just say that as a CYA
be glad they make service manuals so well-written and easily accessible
more than I can say for the vast majority of laptop manufacturers

@Bob qbitorrent is nice
but no rss feed management on the webui
(but I run other stuff on my linux box annnnywaaayyy...)

Q: Power connector size for HP 15-d053cl TouchSmart Notebook PC?

iqover9000Does anyone know what the inner and outer dimensions of the DC connector on the HP power adapter for the HP 15-d053cl TouchSmart Notebook PC is? Also, the name of the connector type would help. The adapter’s model numbers are 709985-004, 710412-001, and AD9043-022G2. I need to find a connector t...

OP may end up setting his house on fire

Q: Is battery mAh measured per cell?

iqover9000I have an HP 15-d053cl laptop with a 14.8V, 2620mAh, 4-cell battery (although HP's website says it's 2800mAh) and I'm looking for something to add to my battery life. I've found my same battery and an external power pack for the same price, but the power pack is rated at 16/19V and 5500mAh. I tho...

hm
That went badly
Fresh install of fedora 21. 1036 package upgrades 0_0
 
10:31 AM
@JourneymanGeek Any idea why when I type character "U" in Chrome browser it hangs and I have to restart it?
Only this character hangs application.
 
10:56 AM
@JourneymanGeek Maybe some part of database got corrupted so when I enter "U" I see a list of websites and one second after that Chrome crashes...
 
Reinstall?
hm, maybe try a new profile?
 
@JourneymanGeek Did not. Maybe update will solve it?
@JourneymanGeek Maybe Clean History?
 
11:08 AM
donno
try it
 
@JourneymanGeek How do you find Macrium Backup?
How do you find Comodo Backup?
 
11:34 AM
@Boris_yo: Macrium's ok
 
Bob
@allquixotic 82% and 91% cache hit now :D
 
but I switched over to veem endpoint backup some time back
 
 
5 hours later…
4:35 PM
@Bob 33.3% here :S
 
Bob
@allquixotic what are you doing with it?
 
with 4 GB of L1 and 128GB of L2
 
Bob
The 91% is pretty much best case

actually, D went down a bit cause I happened to load a new map today :P
@allquixotic I didn't even bother with L1
I'll let Windows handle that
@allquixotic ...that defer write scares me
 
4:40 PM
@Bob me too, but IDRGAF
 
5:24 PM
Im in debian rescue mode but I dont know what device debian is installed on
it comes up as dev sda/sdb 0,2,3,4, etc
im doing this to edit etc/fstab and grub config to reflect actual device/partitions without the usb stick plugged in
its installed on the HDD the usb stick is the installer
windows is on the SSD

@Bob
SSD Cach, 100GB drive?
Id up L1 Cache to equivilent of 4 seconds of write.
The Right USB stick works better for HDD Cache Reads.
Overswap on SSDs
Moo.
 
7:44 PM
@OliverSalzburg well i dont know what your doing, but i would suspect the possibility of stuff hanging up, still hanging out. with recent windows programs not fully stopping proper, as seen in the taskmanagers and resource monitor. Looking into what was/is still running when it was assumed it all stopped properly.
 
8:01 PM
Or task ending the whole "process tree" however that would change the variation in how it restarted.

@Ramhound hey what were you saying , and what am i missing about that 6X ram question?
I feel the need to delete my comments, and add another layer of stuff besides, because people found jacking up the voltage may help too, and layers of user experineces. Plus getting it to "work" is one thing, making sure there isnt a single error ever is even more
Like this dude say "For some strange reason the old x58 chipset motherboards doesn't like when the all ram slots are populated with ram sticks, you'll need to leave the last one (6th slot empty), to achieve an RAM OC." ( i assume that is keeping it from running fast in tripple modes)
and "I suppose you'd managed your CPU OC to 4.13 by rising the BCLK, with that you also can OC your RAM, just try change the RAM multiplier (10-12-14...), to higher then you have now, then loose your RAM timings (EG. from 9-9-9-24 to 10-9-10-27), rise your DRAM Voltage and test your memory using memtest +86""
Any 6 modules can be really fun :-) and then huge modules besides, AND 9just to add to the problems) on a board that is pickey about it.
Plus in my comments, why he didnt buy tripple packages 3 to a pack, if there was an intention of running it in tripple
All SPECULATIONs that could go on forever paying with it, to get it working, and still leaving it a disaster if it doesnt work on defaults.
By the time he gets done fiddling with it, the ram slots (made in china) will be in pieces :-)
Or, i could delete all my comments, and replace it with : Find a combination that worked for 5-6 other people, and is on the compatability list too.
"Typically x58 supports 6x4GB for 24GB max. The OP is using higher capacity sticks than his board supports. " Okkkayy so he is 'not' breaking that limitation, because the modules are 4G
He also had to have the bios update installed.
 
10:29 PM
I don't know what were mising honestly
The CL timings are identical
knowing how these packs work
there isn't a different between the modules
 
They claim that they test these modules they packageg together as a team.
 
I am sure they do. But does not mean the modules are different other then batch number
 
So your really supposed to buy a 2 pack for doing 1 dual, and a tripple pack for doing tripple. I dont know if they would actually Tweak it , or just test it that way.
 
These packs exist so people don't go out and buy 1 module from one manfuature and then other from another
that isn't the case here
 
thats the third users post that says it can come out of sleep badly via the ram too. He probably should have spent a week on the web , reading about other users experience before attempting the change.
 
10:42 PM
I have no doubt its the ram the question is, why, the timings and voltage are identical, my guess he has to enable tri-channel
By booting with 3 installed then enable it, then reboot, but i dont know the extreme platform
 
oh! why does it act different when it is the same.
because shit dont work that way :-)
When i have to get a quad assembled with 2 2-packs i keep the reciept, do a lot of praying :-)
Sometimes it seems like you can get away with anything, like tossing in 2 sets of ram chunks you had laying around (different brand even). Sometimes I get a set designed to work together and it just doesnt, but another brand will.
The manufacture will test a few modules, and put it on the compatability list. then i attempt to apply the compatability list , but i cant buy what is ON it :-)
But did they think about this: what good is the compatability list, when a year later that module isnt made exactally the same way even :-(
I guess that is covered by the big number (not just the size, type, brand) that is on the list, the one you cant find a year later.

Hi... Something is annoying me... all of a sudden, my screenshot program isn't working - I went in to settings and it seems like almost all the hotkeys are being used by other apps... When I press the buttons, nothing happens, so, not sure what app is using them. Does anyone know how to find out?
without just randomly shutting down apps! (which I am not against, but, can't see many things actually running...)
 
superuser.com/questions/219629/… this question has 2 utility programs in the answers for finding registered global keys.
There is a 3rd too, some really small thing from like nirsoft or ahk or something.
They do something like test, for the key like a brute force, providing very little information.
If some program install had a key set in its shortcut, tossed itself on the desktop or start menu, it could potentially setup a global key too.
I discovered some time back keyboard shortcuts are stored in URL and INK type files, and scanned when in the start menu and desktop. Weird to me, because that would mean they could end up there when i didnt put them there.
You'd think that if a key got assigned to some other thing, and your sure that some program is not in Focus, that something would Happen :-)
 
11:24 PM
thanks
 
@WilliamHilsum: hm, I remember someone talking about that here
what OS?
ahh nvm ;p
I'd like to share this
 
windows... I haven't tried those apps yet

Q: Server destroying and burning my Hard Drives

Bunkai.SatoriBefore I start, let me inform you that I have been working as an IT Manager for large international companies for my whole life, and I have received masters degree from IT technology. I therefore believe, I am fully competent to do what am doing now. However, now I face an uneasy challenge which ...

 
would rather if there is a native thing rather than third party apps
@JourneymanGeek dhl in 4 hours!? Can barely get them to pick something up when I call them!
 
@WilliamHilsum: huge customer I guess
We have a 4 hour parts replacement contract on our arrays
 
11:26 PM
lol, that's funny... I have a masters degree and build hundreds of machines... but I burn hard drives
lol
 
If dell has to send a sad clown on a unicycle to get it in time, they better bloody well
 
@JourneymanGeek nice... seen four hour contracts for answering/acknowledgment, never seen them actually ship replacement parts within that time
is that for equallogic then?
 
@WilliamHilsum: Might be cause its a smaller country, but yeah
Naw, dell
For some reason double negative is almost entirely a dell/mac shop, other than some legacy hardware
We just go into a webpage, attach the error logs and the disk turns up a few hours later
 
nice!
that does sort of scary though considering I was going to buy a 40 bay enclosure (seen one for quite cheap) and try to build a new nas myself as I am getting fed up of many 4 bay ones...
that being said, his whole approach at the start... I don't think he knows what he is doing... but still, burning... that is crazy :/
 
@JourneymanGeek ya know, that is here too superuser.com/questions/886794/…
 
11:32 PM
is it wrong that it looks really similar to the case I wanted to get! - xcase.co.uk/4u-rackmount-server-cases/…
...24 bay, I thought it was 40 bay :/
 
it would have been nice to burn say 2or4 at a time , instead of 10 or 12 :-)
 
ARGH that program didn't work
it goes through every hotkey - started a bunch of programs, disabled my second screen and screwed around...
lol... really bad!
 
@WilliamHilsum: I'd test a few disks, and start building from there. And well. call and bitch if its burning out drives ;p
 
Something is wrong with that question... you don't start out by saying.. "I am a professional masters degree xxx", "I build hundreds of xxx"...then... "Why are they catching fire"! He is leaving something out...
but oh well, would be interested to know how it turns out!
now, what is using my bloody hotkey! ARGH
 
@WilliamHilsum it must have used Brutal force .
The programs (the answers) likely should have some kind of indication as to "how they will do this deed"
 
11:51 PM
@Psycogeek just installed and ran... next thing I know, machine is going crazy, it pretty much just ran through every hotkey then froze whilst waiting for something... but I force closed it as it screwed so much up all ready :(
maybe it would work... but, I doubt it...
Why did you lock this!? What else can I do on a Saturday evening? Reading this is more fun than pretty much everything on TV tonight! :( Thanks spoil sport mods... — William Hilsum 6 mins ago
 
there never has been a great way to detect them, even the ones that are fully controlled by windows (shorts and urls) should have some GUI method , by windows itself to discover them.
