Not everyone is rich enough to have expired credit cards oleg

#

surely if you're poor enough to need a credit card because you just keep taking loans then you should be good when it comes to expired credit cards

#

i meant debit cards anyway

#

Or am i misremembering?

junior flax
#

skylake?:

#

idk if i will even upgrade my pc is just a bit old

lost fossil
#

tbh i don't think 300 is gonna cut it for cpu, ram and mobo especially since you already have 16 gb

junior flax
#

ye but its ddr3 ram

lost fossil
#

a good hypothetical mobo is 80-100

#

a good hypothetical cpu is like 200-250

#

and then u also need ram

junior flax
#

i got my whole pc for 350

lost fossil
#

yes but that was old tech that someone would've otherwise dumped in a landfill

junior flax
#

ye ik :/

#

it runs everything well

#

iguess ill wait another year i guess

lost fossil
#

you need more money if you want to do an upgrade and not a sidegrade

it'll still have to be a manual compact install for sure

Adding a dummy variable declaration to my C code makes it work like its supposed to and doesn't if I comment it out... is this some memory weirdness in C or am I going crazy FeelsWorriedMan

and i cant remove it

#

@lost fossil

brave field
#

What payloads does the malware have? @lime jay

lime jay
#

what that

brave field
#

Nobody really makes viruses anymore, but I guess its possible
Is it scareware? Ransomware? Spyware?

#

What sort of things is it doing to your system, I mean

lime jay
#

it was freezing my screen

#

then it unfreezed

#

there was major delay

#

its trying to hurt my cpu

What happens when you do a Windows Defender scan?

lime jay

i just used a app i found

That's very likely part of the problem with your performance while looking for it

how to do the scan

i did that earlier

#

the thingy is bypassing it

#

i need pic perms

ill show u somthing

u can remove after

brave field
#

upload to an image hosting site

#

where

brave field
#

imgur or such, or dm it so I can post it here for you

lime jay
#

ill dm u it

#

done

brave field
#

okay, I see

#

the program you're using to detect everything looks like its malware itself

#

but

lime jay
#

;-;

#

sus

brave field
#

more than half of your detections are GTA cheats and injectors for them

#

I don't see anything related to what usually would be bundled from improperly pirating games

lime jay
#

huh

#

ima talk to my brother

brave field
#

The others I see are the sort of things you get with software packages

lime jay
#

we share pc

brave field
#

like the fake chrome updater you have listed there

#

Also, Roblox cheats

lime jay
#

;-;

#

thats me

#

;-;

#

i didnt do that gta one tho

#

i also got a virus

brave field
#

The only non-cheat things here are the files in the last picture you showed, and those are in your own user folders

lime jay
#

from tryin gto download fnaf security breach

brave field
#

honestly at this point I'd just wipe the whole thing

lime jay
#

😦

#

gta took so long to download

#

and fortnite

brave field
#

It can be salvaged but your OS install will likely never be the same unless the malware hasn't deleted shadow copies and your system's restore points

lime jay
#

wait

#

is there anyway

#

i can save certain files

#

i want to keep my steam gta and discord

#

and fortnite

brave field
#

sure, it looks like none of those are actual viruses, so they likely don't spread
If they have found ways to mess with Steam or the game files, then you're going to be bringing the problems with you into your next Windows install

#

regardless, you need to stop the malware first

lime jay
#

how

lost fossil
#

bro you really out here charging money for creading discord servers when you don't even know basic internet security practices

brave field
#

get rid of that program that looks like its malware itself, use Windows Defender, do a full scan, and then follow it up with a second-opinion scanner

lime jay
#

i forgot about that

brave field
#

Yes you'll lose your cheats but they shouldn't be stored the way they were either

lime jay
#

nvm im wiping this pc

#

how to do it

brave field
lime jay
#

sketchy

#

not that

#

i ment cooki

#

im just wiping htis

brave field
#

and hope none of the malware currently on your PC can stop or modify the download

lime jay
#

kk so how to wife

#

wipe*

#

im not keeping anything

brave field
#

grab an 8gb or larger USB drive and this https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10
Run the media creation tool, choose the option to make a bootable USB
When its finished, boot into your BIOS and choose to boot into the USB
Then follow the reinstall instructions

#

technically there's a chance it'll leave traces of the malware in a windows.old folder, but eh

lime jay
#

i dont have a usb

#

i just want to wipe this pc clean

#

i dont want to keep anything

brave field
#

well, that's really the only reliable way to wipe it fully

lime jay
#

do i have to use usb

brave field
#

Windows does have a built-in reset option that works a good 35-40% of the time

#

Try this, starting at number 3, in case you do have a system restore point from before the fake antivirus program was installed
If you have the restore point, revert, and then you can use Defender and attempt to disinfect things afterwards

#

If that fails, use 2. 1 will be useless for this.

lime jay
#

i sent a new image

#

do i do that

brave field
#

Windows 11, wow

lime jay
#

mhm

Win 11 has restore point, but it's not on by default

you cannot be serious arash

#

Depends on the specs I think

#

Wait so ur saying windows 11 could be helping cause this problem

jovial tide
#

Will is that a Nitro 5?

lime jay
jovial tide
#

Looks like a new nitro 5 laptop

brave field
#

well no, in your case, you have >20 paid cheats, some fake chrome hijacking, what looks to be spyware, and then have installed a fake antivirus malware to get rid of it

#

11 isn't malicious in itself, its just bad

jovial tide
#

Honestly, resetting it right away is a good idea

lime jay
#

It wasn't paid😳😅

#

He told me it

brave field
#

false positives may be true positives in that case

jovial tide
#

Those malicious programs can steal lots of your (sometimes very important) data

#

Malwarebytes would have helped

lime jay
#

All they gonna find is the hub

brave field
#

and your discord and roblox and steam, if its programmed for it
possibly your home address, possibly useful things to advertise to you with, possibly payment info

jovial tide
#

Now you gotta find your laptop model

#

The exact model to install all the right drivers again

lime jay
#

Shit I do to

jovial tide
#

And good news is it's gonna run much faster than before

lime jay
#

Fuck yes

jovial tide
#

Cause when you buy, laptops come with a lot of crapware

#

People call it bloatware

brave field
#

no, but malware authors can be very annoying. They will 100% profit off you if given the chance

lime jay
#

They will send dildos to my house

jovial tide
#

Also, yes Cookie's right, if you're unlucky there might be malware in your recovery partition installing with the windows right now KEKW

jovial tide
#

The one being reinstalled

jovial tide
brave field
#

eg. being part of a Mirai botnet and having your public ipv4 permanently banned by certain companies (which I think is the reason for all the people in #gta-tech-support having to use VPNs to sign into the social club site)

lime jay
#

It's taking for ever

brave field
#

Its going to take long, that's normal.

lime jay
jovial tide
#

Cookie most of them don't have it

#

They just happen to be in or near some possibly (maybe not) malicious network

brave field
#

CGNAT is a pain too. Would not be surprised if it was a part of the problem.

jovial tide
#

DDoS protection in general has horrible efficiency

brave field
#

"Lets just give 200 people the same 5 public ipv4 addresses to share and hope nobody messes up, what could go wrong?"

jovial tide
#

Well ipv4's limited

brave field
#

pointless rant over

lime jay
jovial tide
#

Also, those ddos protection services ban thousands of IP addresses at times

lime jay
#

Done

brave field
#

malware is bad, and you have a lot going on, so you should still secure your accounts after this

jovial tide
#

Imagine Youtube's AI's R word son on crack trying to block networks

lime jay
brave field
#

I hope we can get semi-universal ipv6 soon

jovial tide
#

That's good Will

#

Me2

lime jay
#

Same

jovial tide
#

Will right after you get into windows, go get intel driver & support assistant ok?

brave field
#

Every time ipv6 goes wrong, its because someone like Japan goes "lol, okay entire country, you have 6 hours to move to ipv6, have fun" and then it collapses, and Western media complains about it

lime jay
jovial tide
#

Governments don't really care

#

The standards are there, but enforcement takes a lot of energy, money, and power. they don't care about it.

brave field
#

not caring is fine, and I think not trying to force it like some governments did is a good thing

jovial tide
#

A country like Iran (& others looking at it from a security lens) would make an entire isolated network connected to the internet with their own controlled routers instead of IPv6

brave field
#

but there absolutely should be some more effort. A lot of services already run with ipv6 usable, and just disabled

#

~~ I just want the constant spam from probing bots to leave me and my ISP-provided router and Inspiron 3647 server alone~~

jovial tide
#

China, Iran, Russia, and some others that I don't know can disconnect the whole country and make it an intranet when they want

#

You can easily block it

brave field
#

I'm using cloudflare for my https port and my domain, NGINX + fail2ban for anyone directly sending requests to the server itself, and my poor, sad router for the entire rest of the network

#

still getting 60-80+ different requests on all common ports per 15 minutes

jovial tide
#

That small nextgen firewall blocks all of those

brave field
#

every ipv4 address the planet can have is already known, so they're attacking everything in range

#

everyone with ipv4 enabled is being attacked, even with nothing forwarded

jovial tide
#

they wanna know who's online, they're everywhere

brave field
#

so the solution is easy, just convert the entire world to ipv6, to buy us all a few weeks of peace

#

until the probing programs get better, and are autofilling all 419 quadrillion or however many as possible

#

I want to wake up one day and not see a single Drop Unknown Incoming Packet from the past night

jovial tide
#

lol but does it matter though

#

It's like a cosmic ray it's probably not gonna do anything; until it does

brave field
#

not really, but I do have some very strange messages in the system logs in my router, so its very possible it actually is vulnerable, and some of these messages are the equivalents of "hello world" running

#

I have a whole bunch of "No such file or directory" and "get_parameter: failed" in logs, which I know is entirely common and I'm just paranoid, but still...

jovial tide
#

Hmmm

#

You definitely need a nextgen firewall then

#

It's gonna worry for you; instead of you worrying

brave field
#

That's going to have to sit behind my router/modem combo though, no?

#

The address is part of that, it'll still have to go through that before it can get to any of my machines or networking hardware

jovial tide
#

As a VM no

#

You can just dedicate one or two nics to it and use it as your edge (I guess?) router to inspect, filter and deny packets

brave field
#

I

jovial tide
#

I put the VM up, gave it one ethernet connection (to ISP) and the other virtual to my other servers; then connected all the employees with its VPN application to internet

lime jay
#

@brave field life saver

#

ur a legend

brave field
#

I mean

#

I'm thinking I'd be in this situation

jovial tide
#

Yeah it's that

lime jay
#

it took a while

brave field
#

so what I'd need is to... connect my VM's NIC DIRECTLY to the fiber lines to avoid the router/modem sucking?!

lime jay
#

i was spending half the time

jovial tide
#

And then the green box gets connected to others

lime jay
#

remembering my wifi password

#

i restored the pc

#

and

jovial tide
#

Well the one I know, Kerio, supports pretty much everything

lime jay
#

how do i find system 32

#

to see if its gone

jovial tide
#

Even PPPoE and connecting to other VPN servers

brave field
#

Use windows defender and do a full scan

lime jay
#

what about window security

brave field
#

That is windows defender

lime jay
#

oh

#

file scanned goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

brave field
#

@jovial tide thanks

#

I'm going to keep trying to get my hands on this chinese LGA2011-3 board if I can get it shipped faster

jovial tide
#

Oh you wanna make that a server?

brave field
#

I've been meaning to replace everything with pfsense and go ipv6 only for a while, and more opinions is helping me look into more research

brave field
#

currently trying to haggle a Dell R720 down from $386 to $130 lol

lime jay
#

steam is done

#

now epic games

jovial tide
#

So IPv6 depends on your ISP

#

Does it support v6?

brave field
#

yes

jovial tide
#

Cause if it doesn't, 4to6 is not gonna help you much

#

Also, you should consider using a VPN for the whole network if the server's not publicly available

Discord has it and its a little hidden. Less hidden than Nintendo's. Can't say I know how Xbox is currently, but it was straightforward in 2010

The keybinding always works; your keyboard layout is probably different

You can always bind it to something else if you like; Alt + Ctrl + 4 for example

It says mobile voice overlay and takes me to my actual settings, my phone won't let me enable it

I've upgraded from 3500X (6c/6t) to 5600X (6c/12t) and despite the fact that they both have TDP of 65W, 5600X runs hotter in games and the fan is at 100%. When I alt tab from the game, the temperature drops by 5-10 degrees within a minute. PBO is enabled. Can someone like reassure me that everything's fine?

#

Or help me understand at least

#

Is it possible that cleaning off thermal paste left some tiny bits of residue (I did do it thoroughly though) and weakened the efficiency of the cooler? Or maybe I applied bit more paste

kindred temple
#

Im super confused

#

unless you use like, cake icing

#

you can wipe off thermal paste with any fluid

#

And a bit of accidental extra thermal paste compared to previous application does not affect anything

trail cape
brave field
#

TDP isn't a direct measurement of power use or heat output. PBO and any other overclocking goes far above the clock speeds and voltage they determine TDP with.

#

5600X with PBO being hotter than the 3500X is very normal.

tdp is like

how much cooler would you need to run the cpu at base spec with no enhancements of any kind

Is it worth giving my 1070 plus 300$ for a 2070?

brave field
#

decent performance jump but I absolutely would not

#

1070 is already plenty capable, wait it out and get a 4060 ti or whatever in 2-3 years

viral gyro
#

Kind of out of my budget. I was looking for a 2-300$ ugrade on my build

brave field
#

It doesn't exist yet

viral gyro
#

I mean it will be, when it comes out, considering the prices of the current generation

brave field
#

@viral gyro This 2070 is used, yeah?

viral gyro
#

Yes. But so is my 1070 (It's 3 years old now and out of warranty).

brave field
#

ah, likely similar age then

#

I think it might be better to go for a 3060 ti or 3070 if you could go without your GPU for a week and feel you really HAVE to upgrade soon

#

used 1070s are selling for some $500-$600 (USD) right now

viral gyro
#

In my country 1070s go for like 400. And I payed for mine around 500$ when it was new.

#

And that guy has the 2070 listed for like 800$

brave field
#

oh, what country/currency?

viral gyro
#

Romania

brave field
#

1070s going for the equivalent of $400 USD (conversion doesn't account for market/economy/cost of living) is a steal!

#

but I suppose that might kill off my idea of maybe going for a 3060ti or 3070 when they come into stock for a short period of time

#

wouldn't trade for that 2070 still, even after a bit of research on GPU pricing in Romania. $300 is high

viral gyro
#

Or is it still a no?

#

I mean, I don't mind waiting for another deal but the 1070 sometimes feels like isn't enough

brave field
#

200 is better but still just feels bad going for a trade like that right now

viral gyro
#

Maybe you could give me advice on another upgrade I could do for around 2-300$ on my build, if that trade isn't worth it

Hi! Can anyone here help me with PC Parts? I'm not really experienced with those, so i wanted to ask if anyone could help me :)

I saw one on eBay

#

There are parts listed

#

But i have no real clue if they are good

Mainboard: Asus m5a78l-m/usb3

CPU: AMD FX 8350

Graphicscard: MSI GeForce GTX 970

Alrighty, thank you guys

ok 16gb is nice but 2133mhz and ddr3 🤢

DDR3-era parts are still very very good, but the CPU in that PC is awful

#

Can you explain for non-PC guys why it's bad

#

And how much would a better CPU be?

analog wharf
#

ddr3 isnt that bad i guess but ddr4 min 2666mhz board and ram would be alot better

brave field
#

The FX 8350 in that machine is worse for the majority of tasks than a modern Pentium/Celeron CPU

#

The ram is entirely fine, really

analog wharf
#

and fx 8350 is ass

brave field
#

Depends on your usecase, but if its anything like gaming, you absolutely should try to shave some cash off by haggling for the GPU @neon bluff

#

The GPU in that system is almost $200 of that $300 price tag in the current market, but the rest of the stuff in there is worthless

the 970 will probably be alright for running old games but dont expect to be playing any modern games at max settings with that gpu @neon bluff

So i just need to replace the CPU?

brave field

To replace the CPU, you'll have to replace the motherboard as well. With CPU prices right now, you'll be spending over $100

Mhmmmm

#

Then there is a different one, but that one is in German language

#

And it's written in a weird way, so i can't really categorize it

brave field

That CPU upgrade could be any of the 2011-2015 desktop i5s, Xeon E5-2xxx V1/V2, or, if you're able to spend more, current gen's i3-10100F, but then you'll need to buy new ram

no not really, unless someone is using bitlocker i think or some type of drive encryption but that isnt the case usually.

Ohk

#

So i can use my hdd in other pc you mean

agile siren

yes

#

you can just plug you hdd in other pc and it should just work.

just keep in mind, if have windows installed on that hdd then that other pc might try to boot from the hdd you plugged in.

#

Okay

#

So do I have to manually load windows from the drive already in the other pc or will it just boot up normally?

#

Without going into bios etc

agile siren

you will see windows load normally, it will load from either one hdd and then you will see and option to pick which copy of windows you wana boot to, it can be confusing to see which one is which. you just have to try it.

whichever drive windows boots from, that drive will become the C:\ drive.
