sorry if I have missed thread..

I was using poker equilab for long time and never had this thing popping out. Few days ago I installed comodo fw and some new AV

and now comodo is showing me this and idk I got little paranoid after all oldanor talk.. is this save to allow as I used it few days ago and it didn't asked me anything, and I'm probably just way paranoid at the moment. (got it from pokerstrategy site)

I wouldn't worry too much about those Comodo alerts if I were you. Most programs need to alter registry keys and/or access various services. Comodo will keep warning you unless you click "allow" after which it won't warn you again for that program since you have the remember box ticked.

If you have a legitimate version of Equilab then I'm pretty sure you're okay. I don't remember exactly how Equilab operates but if it has an updater function or similar I would think that might explain those two alerts.

The key message about odlanor is don't install cracked (or other non-genuine) software, particularly poker software.

Gigabit lan and ac1200 wireless, so in this case I don't think it's my setup. I feel like it's a config issue with the phone since the upload speed in filezilla hits the exact limit of my internet upload max.

FTP I'm using is to the local lan ip, not an external ip if that matters.

Even more confused now.

So you have an FTP server on your local network, and if your phone and computer are on the network simultaneously, everything slows down?

I use the file manager app on my phone to create a ftp server then upload to my phone from a wired PC.

Assuming your phone is definitely connected to your network's Wi-Fi (and not cellular), it could just be a coincidence. You haven't mentioned what phone, what app, or what speeds, but there are plenty of potential bottlenecks in actual wireless transfer speeds. The biggest is perhaps that ac1200 does not mean you will get 1200Mbps data throughput. Even in fairly ideal conditions, it will be much less than that. You could also be limited by the speeds of your computer hard drive and/or phone.

To verify that your internet connection has nothing to do with it, use some method of examining that traffic. If your router/modem has any kind of dashboard indicating instantaneous bandwidth usage, use that. Or use Wireshark on your computer making the FTP transfer and verify the sources and destinations.

If your highest priority is transfer speed, it's pretty likely that USB is the best option.

This is the file manager app I have been using. My phone is the HTC One M7, average transfer speed has been 10-11 MB/s uploading from my PC.

Assuming I have the right model, Anandtech indicates that the HTC One supports up to a maximum theoretical transfer rate of 433Mbps over Wi-Fi.

In practice, you'll only see something like 60% of the maximum theoretical throughput as your data throughput, so that would be about 260Mbps under really good conditions. That is 32.5MB/s, which might make it seem that you are not getting what you should.

However, Anandtech's benchmarks indicate that the internal NAND would bottleneck to less than half of that (~14MB/s).

So it sounds like you are getting around about what you should expect. But I'd still vote for USB.

Goddamn Europeans!
Take me back to beautiful England
And the grey, damp filthiness of ages,
And battered books and
Fog rolling down behind the mountains,
On the graveyards, and dead sea-captains.

Let me walk through the stinking alleys
To the music of drunken beatings,
Past the Thames River, glistening like gold
Hastily sold for nothing.

Let me watch night fall on the river,
The moon rise up and turn to silver,
The sky move,
The ocean shimmer,
The hedge shake,
The last living rose, quiver.

Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah

Hello,

Sometimes, chunks of the previous page that I was viewing show up on the present page I'm viewing. Thought maybe you guys would know why.

Witchcraft?

What browser? What do you mean "chunks of the previous page"? Like posts from the last page? Where does it show up?

lol witchcraft.

I'm on winXP chrome browser. Yeah it's like partial posts from the previous page that I was viewing.

chrome on mac is suddenly telling me every page is being prevented from setting cookies. wtf is up with that?

no settings changes, of course

Did it upgrade? I don't think Chrome announces upgrades anymore?

I tried to check but didn't know what version I was on, and wasn't sure where to find upgrade history.

Checked the Google to see if there were recent complaints about it but found nothing.

My laptop (running Windows 7 Home) has a balky power button. To limit the problems that causes, I changed all my power settings so that computer will not automatically power off, sleep or hibernate. This was working great for about a month or so. Now something is causing the computer to power off. Where should I look to see if a program is causing the computer to shut down?

event viewer

OK. So I found this:

Computer was put to sleep. Any ideas how to stop this from happening? All parameters in my power management plan are set to prevent computer from sleeping.

Look for a tea timer app (I think that's what they were called) that will run in the background and prevent it going to sleep.

I'll try that thanks!

What's the best possible solution for the following:

Pc1:
Old computer, Windows 7, tiny hard drive

Pc2:
New computer, no OS or same Windows version, bigger SSD

I need all the programs and settings from pc1 moved onto pc2 without reinstalling them.

I've heard there's ways you can sysprep and remove hardware abstraction layers and things to accomplish this, but I'm not having the best of luck finding solutions.

I can figure out how to migrate to a new hdd, or how to move files and settings but not programs, but neither of those help me.

You are close with sysprep - it is one of the tools you need. Sysprep removes the HAL, etc. But that would only work by itself if you are moving that HDD to the new computer.

You will need to create a custom build of Windows from your existing installation. Put that on a USB stick and install on the new computer.

It can look a nightmare from the instructions, but its not that bad. There are instructions and videos here... http://www.danscourses.com/Windows-7...windowspe.html

Edit: DONT forget to clean the drive up before creating a wim image... there is no need to copy a billion temporary files or your internet cache, etc.

Thanks, I'll give that a good going over

Think I could practice on virtualbox?

Should be able to.... I practice using Hyper-V without any problems.

do we have a computer build thread? seems like people come in with pcpartpicker builds now and then, would be helpful maybe

Anyhow, how does this look for replacing a pentium 4, 32-bit windows system with 1.5gb ram and like 32gb hdd?

Hadn't really heard of the g3258. Seems like it can do integrated graphics, so that helps cut down cost. This would be the computer I'm moving the windows install to. And sadly, no, I don't have a spare 64-bit version of 7 lying around, so to keep the cost down i'd just stick with 32 bit and a low amount of ram.
