My laptop keeps overheating when there's anything strenuous on the screen, like /b/tube or games from the year 2000. I don't know why it can't cope with this shit. Any advice?

Record the temperatures on all thermal sensors. Open it and blow out any dust. If it doesn't improve, the thermal paste may need to be replaced.

What version of windows? Like does it have software that originally came with the computer.

Do a new clean install with an untouched windows. I have found Dell,
etc, help programs, maintaince programs, driver updaters, from the
manufacturer makes windows fail. As well, basic manufacturer
programs screw things up. If yes, find a clean copy of win7 pro
and install that. Laptop, get specific drivers from MS optional
updates. They should be the first optional updates, monitor etc.

The most sane distro is NixOS or GuixSD if you want absolute minimalism in terms of there's just one text file you have to edit, and it contains your entire system configuration. To understand it go on Google Scholar and look up NixOS or Guix papers esp the orig functional package management paper.

You can also use competing schedulers for the linux kernel if interested
http://www.users.on.net/~ckolivas/kernel/

And if you want really experimental minimalism then try the following
>Debian/Hurd
>Install Guix package manager
>Use NetBSD rumpkernels

This is about as experimental as you can currently get with a working amateur system to do crazy shit you never thought was possible.

There are no 13 inch MBPs or Macbooks with Core Duos. Whatever you bought, you got taken. 350+50 is 33% more than you said and 100% more than I paid for my gently used T430.

>There is actually a reason why used macbooks are pretty good: Often they aren't somebodies main machine and hence don't see heavy use.
Except that it isn't abuse that renders Macs unusable. It's design flaws, as comprehensively covered by noted scholar and gentleman Louis Rossman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUaJ8pDlxi8

Search "proxy lists: samair.ru that should bring up lists of sites. Try to search port 443, ssl, anonymous or elite proxies. SSL if the site uses ssl. Do "proxy test" to see if your IP is forwarded. If you get lucky with port:443 you can find proxies that are like encrypted, https, not just a request for a ssl site, but a proxy that is encrypted between you and the proxy you found. Socks proxies are good. If you pick proxies from like the middle east, if you find good ones they would last longer because nobody really wants to touch them. Transparent proxies may forward you IP on default port but port :443 may have client to host encryption that is encrypted but does not forward your Ip address. Forget what type of proxies did this by default atm. Using online proxy checkers, some, likely most harvest other peoples efforts finding a working proxy and
sell them or post them to promote their 'proxy list services.' Find a decent proxy switcher program to check proxies on your own. Ultimately find security type sites to see if the proxy
you have is SSL aware if you are visiting https sites, anf that it does not forward you real IP address. I crammed everything together but it's pretty basic. SSL proxies generally, just
request HTTPS sites route them to you without forwarding your IP address to the remote site, anonymous proxies may request SSL sites, I forget, but will not forward your IP. But may keep logs. Transparent proxies likely will forward you IP, know your own IP before you venture.

Eh, just stuff from the past. There are google proxies all over the place, why? I don't know.

Hope this kinda makes sense to anybody interested. It's late here so I just threw this together.

OpennDns, DnsCrypt. Proven better than ISPs servers. Faster browsing. Cannot log
sites you visit. Well difficult with opendns, basically impossible with dnscrypt.

Who needs government, that is what this is really all about, having ISPs by default record sites one visits by their IP address. Make their control less
capable by using encryption. Dns, Vpn, etc,

Just moved country, main rig isnt booting and don't know why, so in the meantime I've beefed up a spare rig well beyond the specs which the case is designed for.

Too many drives to fit? Extra drives chilling out the back of the case seated on books

Too many fans? Added fan controller and gaffa taped fans in place (case has space of only one tiny fan...) and left the case wall off

Tell me how to do that but please dont trick me into setting my laptop on fire, I live in poverty and eat nothing but potatos and who knows when I find another computer from the recycle bin.

What to do with ~$500 dollars: upgrade old PC or buy a PS4 Pro?

So I could throw an i5 4460 (would rather 4670 but i don't see any new for less than $350), a GTX 1050 ti 4G and 8GB ram in my 3+ year old mid-range build which would let me run modern games at 1080p a lot better (currently have a GTX 660 2GB, one of the i3 at 3.40 and only 8GB ram) for about $500. Or I could buy a PS4 Pro 1TB and a few games for that same amount.

It's E3 and tomorrow is also June 10th which is Amazon Prime day, and I've got a $100 gift card at Amazon that I've been sitting on. So potentially, there could be even better deals on components/consoles tomorrow. I'm stuck because I really can't afford to do both. My PC is running fine but upgrading it would let me play some games in my Steam library at much better framerates that I've been waiting to play for a bit, but I'd also like to play some of the Playstation exclusives and the Pro seems like it would be a nice living room fixture for the next 5 years or so...

Not sure where to go, I'm leaning towards the PC upgrade but it is probably going to depend on tomorrow's deals.

Thoughts?

Well if used CPUs that have been tested are okay (i've never bought one used), Amazon has some options too, and some of the sellers have high satisfaction ratings with 1000+ sales... so maybe it would be fine? I mean this 4670k for about $150 is pretty tempting...

I'll have to check ebay too.

Not only are used CPUs okay, but performance increases are such small increments these days that they're really good value.

If you can catch an enterprise level CPU dump wave you can pick up SERIOUSLY beefy old 2011v1 or 2011v2 Xeon CPUs that kick ass and have a shitload of cores.

The trick is just to get in on it before the motherboards run out. At some point I was considering it. The unlocked 12 core xeons were 80 bucks a pop but the dual socket motherboard to match it was over $450. I was a little late.

yeah, i ended up getting a 4670k for about $170 and a new GTX 1060. I don't have a 1440p monitor or anything so I should be set for awhile. Pretty stoked to throw them in, should be here in a couple of days.

Thanks for the advice /tech/, I honestly wouldn't have even thought to go for a used CPU had I not checked in here first.

I have bought some PNP transistors. I had this theory that because NPN transistors are normally open until you apply a positive current to the "base", that PNP transistors would be normally closed until you applied current to the "base. OH BOY I WAS WRONG!

This leads into my question. I want a device that will stay in a closed state until I apply current to a base (or equivalent). I don't want to use relays for this because they require 12v to run and I already have another relay in my circuit (so no no to more relays). Instead I want a hacky chad solution to my problem. I would prefer to stick to something that is solid state, which won't add too much resistance to my first relay.

PNP transistors and NPN transistors are very simple devices. They work the same, except one requires a ground at the base, while the other requires a positive voltage. What you want is a NOT gate, here is a simple one using NPN transistors.

The idea is, the input transistor draws all the power away from the secondary transistor to stop the secondary transistor from conducting.

The Amplifier is similar, except it uses a PNP transistor as the secondary, instead of an NPN.
