Is Linux a better OS than Windows for someone who does not know how to code ?

That's not how averages work

You don't need to know how to program to use GNU/Linux. There are multiple DEs available to give you a very similar experience to windows like xfce, lxde, and KDE. You can get a better explanation if you ask /fglt/

right, thanks

Are there any Cred Forums approved non botnet (or least likely to be botnet) Google Drive alternatives?

Anything cloud-based is botnet

Only way to be sure is to host your own. I've heard nextcloud is good.

I guess I'm gonna keep using drive, for the convenience alone

K, just don't expect any privacy.

How expensive is hosting your own cloud storage though?

Unless you're internet is capped, it won't cost a thing

Wait so it's basically using my PC as a server?

If it's private and just for you, cost isn't going to be a problem. It's going to be a bit of work maintaining and securing it, but once you get the hang of it, it's not that bad

Yeah

Not sure what you thought it was

Yeah. Install an OS like Debian on an available PC, secure it, setup nextcloud and you're good to go.

uhh I don't really know myself, I guess I thought you were gonna just set up a separate server. It didn't really pass my mind that you could just use your pc

Yeah, well if you put it to sleep there goes your server, but you could run that shit off pretty much anything. Even a Pi if you wanted to.

That microsoft can't send data about me? windows 10 specifically.

That would be really nice to know, wouldn't it?

C++ -> Python

C++ teaches you the fundamentals of how computer code operates, and the compiling process is also important to learn.

Python is very easy to use, and making quick scripts takes a fraction of the time, but it hides a lot of the underlying mechanisms.

C is C++ without object oriented programming. You can take C code, throw it into a C++ compiler, and it will work the same. But OOP is extremely important to programming since it allows you to organize large coding projects very easily.

If you wanna go deeper, learn Assembly later on just to see how everything works on a more fundamental level.

Any Windows OS collects data about you. Use *BSD or any GNU OS, it won't.

how come when I link a puush image to be uploaded to Cred Forums it takes fucking forever, but when I link an image from literally anywhere else it takes like 1 second?

Chrome is still the most likely to load your page correctly, but it's not the unquestioned leader any more. It's more resource intensive than it use to be, and firefox is finally getting around to trying out sandboxing. Just make sure you're using ublock origin and skipping unnecessary pluggins.

>intelligence of a population is distributed normally
Source? We don't even have an accurate proposed measure for g, how the fuck do you claim to know it's a normal distribution? Idiot.

LOL I didn't understand at all, wow that wasn't so hard to say.

It wont matter to you unless you have $300 headphones or you're getting interference in your sound. In that case you'd probably just want a DAC/AMP anyway.

Yes lol, they don't teach you shit about C in college. A semester equals to like 3 chapters in the book that you could cover in 5 hours yourself.

Yes it's very possible to learn it without any formal education but I wouldn't recommend it for beginners.
Start with Python.

I do have expensive Sennheiser headphones. Can you explain to me what a DMC/AMP is?

>Source? We don't even have an accurate proposed measure for g, how the fuck do you claim to know it's a normal distribution? Idiot.

Because that's the whole point of the test tools retard, to normalize the results. How fucking stupid are you to not know this? Are you even in college already or still too young? Open a book fag.

nvm, googled it and found something of good quality. Thanks for the helping points, mysterious as they were.

I'm done with college and you are a gigantic fucking tool for thinking that IQ tests measure general intelligence. Why don't you ask someone who administers them if they do that?

Not only that, IQ tests ARE NORMALIZED. That's why THEY ARE IN NORMAL DISTRIBUTIONS.

Forgot to mention you can also have multiple desktops open.
I usually have 3 of them with the first being just Firefox, second being irc and two terminals, and the third one is for programming.

All the major oem manufacturers post a lot of shitty overpriced listings. You just happened to find a dell one that was less so. Also the lenovo is lighter and a quarter thinner, and yoga is something they've put a lot of marketing money into, that claims to be fancier like the surface.

Prices for Ultrabooks are insane and just fluctuate massively. That Lenovo I linked I could get for basically the same price as the Dell, but I'm still not sure on which one to go for

>Cred Forums approved
>chromebook

I'm looking for a cheap (around $50 or less), little portable monitor that I can keep with me in the car which I can use for testing display output on other people's computers. A lot of what I'm seeing through searching is either far more expensive than what I need for my purposes, or of questionable quality.

Well the lenovo is probably a little better physically, but that won't affect actual performance. Also they tend to subsidize their prices by putting on a ton of bloatware and occasional malware, so I never get anything from them any more.

Thanks for the help lad. Given the higher specs I'm leaning towards the Dell desu, but I'm a product of marketing machines so internally something just tells me the 900 is better.

Good point about Lenovo though actually, I forgot about the shit they pull.

Slightly unrelated question, but I've been checking machines on Geekbench Browser, which basically just collects benchmarks scores. Why do machines with really the same internals often offer varying results? Is it a load of bollocks not worth paying attention to?

I've never had a ton of faith in artificial benchmarks. I know with phones there have actually been models that pulled a Volkswagen by detecting when they were being benchmarked and temporarily disabling their heat safety limits. In general if someone is running other background software, a different OS/update level, overclocking, or using a different version of the benchmark those could all easily affect the outcome. I only take benchmarks as a ballpark estimate when comparing hardware.

Let me shorten this.

What is the best programming language to learn for an absolute beginner?

Python or JavaScript. I would go with Python though.

Python.

People who tell you otherwise are generally thinking
>absolute beginner who's going to become a hardcore developer, and aim for a killer app/6-figure job in Silicon Valley
which is a decent goal, but an assumption regardless.

Thanks. I'm going to look at python alongside C.
CS50 is jumpy and isn't really teaching me anything, it's probably better to read a book.

Just how much did MKV technology change within the past 5 years?

I just downloaded two different files of the same episode of the same show, and from what I can tell with my plain eyes and ears, they're identical. The picture quality, the sound, it's all the same.

Here's the big difference: One file is 268MB, and the other is 62MB. The smaller file is about 3 years newer than the larger file.

Again, they both look & sound the same; maybe there are some subtle differences that I haven't noticed, but I can't tell.

How is this possible?

So I want to upgrade the hard drive on my laptop to a bigger SSD. The problem is that it is still under warranty for another 3 years and I really don't want to void it. If something happens and I just put the old hard drive back in will they be able to tell that I've messed with it?

It did come with a motherboard but it only has one PCIE slot so I was thinking of getting a more recent model.

Yes

The short answer is "Yes."

The long answer is that it depends on the severity of the problem, and how much they're willing to thoroughly investigate it.

I actually committed the cardinal sin of purchasing a Dell PC, and I've made several hardware additions/replacements myself. When the power supply gave out, they still honored the warranty.

>tfw the Dell technician who came to my house actually saw the aftermarket shit inside my tower
>"Oh, that's nice."
>fixes my computer and tells me to have a nice day

You can read what each of the versions of klite do. Thumbnails are nice. Codec packs help you find codecs for obscure types of media, but mpchc does that very well already.

Replacing the drive shouldn't invalidate your warranty

Aside from you GPU you really shouldn't need PCI connections for anything. I'd stick with that board.

Hopefully it all goes well.

Thanks for the help.

Have a 4790k/H100i processor/cooler combo and it has worked pretty well for well over a year until today. Now my temps are all fucked up and I don't know why.

Pic related is idle temps after I pulled the side, front, and top panels off the case and let it sit for a good half an hour to an hour. Temperatures slowly dropped from the 90s to ~70. Temps instantly shoot up to 99c and the processor throttles like mad if I try to use anything more CPU-intensive than Chrome.

Screws on the cooler are all perfectly tight. Pump says it's working fine in Corsair's software. One tube is hot, one is cold. Pressing down on the cooler doesn't do anything. Radiator doesn't seem to be obstructed. Have never done any overclocking/played with voltages.

Anyone know why there may have been this sudden change? And/or have any potential fixes?

I guess I wasn't clear.. I have only the encrypted text, the string of numbers. I don't have the cypher. They cypher was created by someone else, but I'm reasonably sure that it's simple, e.g., a digit 0 - 9 corresponds to a single letter of the alphabet.

I need to take the numbers and replace them with letters.. fortunately there are a few repeats, but the string is only ten digits. This is good from a brute force standpoint.

Anyway, even if I only had 6 different places to solve (excluding the one that's repeated three times), the number of possible combos would be 26!*25!*24!*23!*22!*21! = impossibly large.

You have to have specialized algorithms relating to frequency of letters etc

I wonder if that's ever been attempted literally. Damn I wish I had my own botnet.

Use the ftp that ftp user posted here a few days ago. I guess it depends on exactly how many people you want to share it with.

You could create a torrent.

You could rar in 200mb archives and upload to the hoster of your choosing

I don't think that can help if there's no windows boot files for it to link to

Dropbox? Not sure about 1 GB+, but you can definitely host a lot of images with the free space (250 MB IIRC). But if you share it too much, the link gets shut down - it's not intended for mass file distribution, unless you get the Business version,.

Windows recovery ISOs are free. As in, free-free, not pirate-free. Get a CD/USB and put it on there.

Is that free as in beer, or free as in freedom?

This is true, but it kind of makes the link pointless.

You fixed it by realizing you're a moron? What a character ark!

Youtube-dlG doesn't work for me. Is there any other opensource GUI for youtube-dl? Something that doesn't involve installing two programs, ffmpeg, pythong and wxpython on every computer would be nice.

Can anyone recommend me a decent budget (sub $200) phone with:
-NFC
-Fingerprint reader
-Is unlocked
-Can be rooted
-Stock Android or close to stock
-2G RAM
-Works in US on MetroPCS

I'm looking at the Redmi Note 3 Pro but it lacks NFC which is giving me pause.

does anyone know how to get vimfx's follow hint to expand images properly? EF > hint > enter works but I'd prefer to just have F > hint expand instead of opening in a new tab if at all possible

What are good alternatives to Skype that can do video calls? So far I've only seen Jitsi.

For a build to use for alot of programs like Photoshop or Indesign
Would i see a performance difference between a 950 and a 750TI
Does much more than the vram matter in this case?

A lot of people get by without NFC. You still have bluetooth.

If I see a pretty girl on the train, a total stranger, can i use bluetooth to send her a message?

Bluetooth requires both participants to confirm the connection before anything can happen, so... maybe if she's a ditz?

Literally wtf. Are you retarded?

If her bluetooth is set to discoverable then you can send a message saying you want to connect.

What's a good site that will host a video file that other people can watch on site without the site compressing the video further then what I did to it?

I recovered a 1.6gb .RIFF file from a deep scan recovery tool. I believe it to be an .avi file, but not sure. How can I play it? Can it be converted to .avi? I couldnt find anything with google, although i didnt look too hard.

Mediafire or google drive maybe.

Can someone explain row 6 and why C_in is 1 when in the previous row 1, 0, 0, gives no remainder?

Thinking about taking my HDD out of my PC because I don't use anything on it, replacing it with a 480gb ssd and chucking my games on the SSD instead of using the HDD.

(games are around 230gb out of the 6tb used, rest is junk and backup shit)

I was thinking of getting a USB 3 dual bay dock and using the hard drive in that and turning off the dock when I don't need the drive etc.

Good idea or not?

I'd leave both drives in the computer if you can. It can be a surprising pain having to rely on an external usb solution.

Not really sure what you're asking. 1+0+1 is 10, or 0 with a carry of 1.

ShareMouse. How do I make it work?

The computer on the right is Win10, the one on the left is Win8.1. Both are running the same version of ShareMouse. They're connected to each other directly with an ethernet cable. They can see each other. They can ping each other. Windows shares on each can be seen by the other. Each has the other added. Firewall exceptions have been added. Yet the Monitor Manager window on either doesn't show the other and one can't be used to control the other.

>those APIPA IPs
I wanted to rule out anything about the networking equipment between the two, so I connected them together with a single patch cable. SMB and SSH work fine over it, but not ShareMouse.

It's like it ALMOST works. Now when I open Monitor Manager on the left one, it shows one screen labeled "A", and a large A appears on the right one. However it doesn't show its own screen, let me position them in relation to each other, or move the mouse from one to the other.

Also what I'm really trying to accomplish is control in the other direction, and that way doesn't even make an A on the other. But fuck, at this point I'll take anything, either way is better than nothing at all.

Okay, it works now. Never mind I guess.

I restarted the program and reset settings on both ends AGAIN, just like I did half an hour ago. Only this time it just works out of the box, without any setup or fiddling.

You seem to think that intelligence is something metaphysical like the soul, but intelligence is just the name we use for the thing that IQ tests measure.

>muh intelligence can't be masured

Fuck off to /x/ kid. IQ tests measure intelligence and the results are normalized. Your intelligence is just a number (yours is two digits by the way) and you're not special.

Does it help you think, writing about your troubleshooting and posting it?

Are you understanding what's going on here?

Start with a one bit adder without carry. It takes A and B as inputs, and produces S -- the sum of A+B.
A + B = S
0 + 0 = 0
0 + 1 = 1
1 + 0 = 1
1 + 1 = 0

Note that in the last row (1+1=0), 1+1 is actually 2, which is 10 in binary. However S is only 1 bit long and is only the lowest bit, which is 0. The 1 is carried out and lost in this most basic adder.

Now, we can add a carry-out output, C_out. Then we won't lost that 1 in the last row.
A + B = C_out S
0 + 0 = 0 0
0 + 1 = 0 1
1 + 0 = 0 1
1 + 1 = 1 0


Now it's correct and doesn't truncate bits. But if we add one more input, C_in, we can chain one adder's C_out to another's C_in, and it will let us add values of any number of bits. All we need to do then is to chain as many one-bit adders as we want bits added. That's what's in your chart. The two bit value (C_out,S) is the two bit sum of C_in + A + B.

Help Cred Forums, I need to recover my computer but the technicians said If I do so it'll wipe out all the memory and set it to default
What do?

No. I was legit asking for help. I tried a bunch of stuff to make it work and got nothing at all, got frustrated and posted a question. Then I found it was sort of almost working. Then I tried the same thing again only it worked that time.

Give more details

You can back up your data to a USB stick, external hard disk, another computer, phone, etc. Depending on how usable your computer is, this might be simple, or it might require creating a boot disk.

I'll try,

will i get better sound through a usb port, or thought the headphones jacks?

Why is it that sometimes when you download something on Mega, it's the simple screen that says "download through your browser"/"download through megatransfer" and sometimes its a "file transfer" which is around 10x faster?

Headphone jack uses the integrated sound card on your motherboard and USB devices are sound cards on their own. So the answer depends on how good your integrated sound card is and how good the usb one is.

If you're not an audiophile you'll most likely not hear a difference. Assuming that your headphone jack doesnt have any audible interference.

Thanks for laying it out like that. I kind of assumed the C_out would become the C_in for the next row because of how additions work.

Following my logic, for row#5 (1+0+0) C_out = 0, S = 1. I assumed C_in for next row would have to be 0, but it's 1. Can you explain that part specifically?

I think I'm just not understanding fully what C_in represents. It's a 3rd input, but when adding I thought it represented the remainder of which is then added to A and B in the next line.

how do i begin electronics soldering? any kits? pls respond, i need a new productive hobby.

You can practice soldering on broken electronics, or with some wire, breadboard, and a roll of cheap resistors

Figuring out what you want to solder is a different matter.

Try what? Type more details in the box and then click post. What's the status of the computer, what's actually wrong that they're going to reinstall it? Can you get to a desktop? Even a safe mode desktop that runs slowly will be enough to connect a USB stick and copy things out.

It depends on your integrated audio. I've seen ones that sound bleh even with cheapass earbuds, and others that sound fine even on high end headphones. It also depends on the USB device you plug in. If you get a cheapass one it might have a lousy DAC or amp in it.

Eh? It always says download through browser for me. Then again I don't have the desktop app installed, and I do have the browser extension installed.

I don't know about the desktop app, never used it much, it struck me as more bloated and limited than Dropbox's.

The browser extension is worthwhile though. Without it, you're downloading potentially gigabytes of encrypted data into your browser's storage, and then decrypting it with Javascript. The extension makes this go smoother.

Is there a way to make a shitty laptop faster? It's a cheap dell one that freezes on fucking watching a video on firefox

Help I'm retarded.

I don't know if this is talking about kilobits or kilobytes. In either case that seems very small as a default option. I basically just want to set the limits to 80-60% of my max for each.

if you are on windows switch to a linux distro: slackware would be best.

KiB = KiloBytes small 'b' is bits.

I don't have the browser or desktop app. I noticed the "file transfer" thing only happens if it's a folder that's linked and multiple files are available to download.


This is what I'm talking about. The top screenshot is a folder, and the bottom is the transfer que. It acts the exact same as the "download through your browser" button (as in it downloads all the way before it quickly downloads through your browser) but it's always faster.

Is the BenQ XL2411Z a meme monitor or is it actually good for 1080p144hz gaming?

I know it comes with weird shitty color settings straight out the box or something like that, but it seems like it's a decent monitor otherwise.

Anyone have any experience with it? Any better suggestions?

One row does not feed into the next. The rows are enumerating every possible combination of inputs that you can put into this adder, and the output that should come out when that input occurs. This is standard practice in digital circuit design, because the next step is to work out a combination of logic gates that produces that pattern of 1s and 0s in the table.

To reiterate, you're looking at all possible states of a single one-bit adder. Not a sequence of bits put through multiple adders.

I know this is a bit of a paradigm shift from programming. In programming, you can write a function with a formula in it and have it just work. You assume that every possible input to the formula works if you know mathematically that the formula works. At least at this level of digital circuit design, you instead enumerate every input you could possibly put in, and define what the outputs should be for each. The goal here is to produce the simplest possible combination of logic gates that produces the result you want. Sometimes you can just intuit the design from the purpose of the circuit, like you often do in programming. However, sometimes it's too complex to just think out, and sometimes the sensible intuitive design is far from optimal. And efficiency matters more here -- a nonoptimal design is not just wasting a few cycles, it's wasting precious die space, creating higher propagation times, and limiting how fast you can clock your chip.

>KiB = KiloBytes

No.

Kb = Kilobits = 1000 bits
KB = Kilobytes = 8000 bits
KiB = Kibibytes = 8192 bits

Capital B is for bytes, lowercase b is for bits
Also KiB is actually for kibibyte which is slightly different from a kilobyte but the difference in most cases in inconsequential.

My sister camwhores on omegle, I suspected after getting banned from omegle around the time she is in the shower or locks her door. I wrote some shitty monitoring software in python.
I got a few screenshots of it.
My question is,
How do I record the webcam and microphone while they are being used by omegle?
What is the best way to record everything?
If anyone comes up with a solution, I'll gib her nudes/camshows for the next 5 months.

Thanks I appreciate the explanation, I understand it better now

Is G-Sync or Freesync actually worth shit for gaming on a 144hz monitor if I play a variety of games that may or may not reach 144fps?

Will it add input lag?

Want it to go faster? Get the browser extension. Also don't use "download as zip" on large folders.

Linux. Slackware or Gentoo if you want speed and like to tinker. Xubuntu or Lubuntu if you want pretty good speed and less setup. Or if you don't like Linux, Windows 8.1 -- seriously, it boots and runs faster than either 7 or 10 on low end systems I've tried them on.

For really basic stuff, pick up a $15 "pencil" soldering iron at Radioshack, Fry's, etc. Those are fine for simple electronics learning and small projects. But if you move on to motherboard repair or soldering really tiny things, you'll want a proper soldering station where you can set the temperature of the tip, not just the wattage going to it. It also helps to get separate solder and flux rather than the solder with flux in the middle, particularly if you want to resolder long connectors on motherboards. (You CAN use the cheapest pencil iron, pointed tip, and plain rosin-core solder for a lot of this, and I've done it, but it's way more frustrating than it needs to be.)

Watch soldering tutorial on youtube. Good soldering technique is important if you want things to work well and last. In general, you put the parts together like they're going to be, then apply the iron and heat. Then touch the solder near where the iron is. That is, DON'T melt the solder on the iron and then paint it onto the wire, that makes a terrible connection and is a common noob mistake.

Another common mistake is letting the connection move as it cools after you remove the iron. That makes a cold joint. You can tell these by their matte finish. A good joint is shinier. You really only have to keep it from moving for ~2-5 seconds.

Why in Windows do some large files copy from one directory to another instantly, while others take minutes (for the same file size), seemingly arbitrarily?

What's the current recommended single board computer, and where should I buy it?

I hear good things about the banana pi, but that might be outdated information.

sometimes, windows can just hard link the files at a new location.
Other times, it needs to actually make a cony of that data.

Just working through insertion sorts and one of the questions presented is;

"How does the algorithm know when the list is sorted?"

The answer to me appears to be that because an insertion sort builds a sorted list, when you have a list of k size you know the full list is sorted.

Or when the loop moving through each value in the unsorted list reaches it's kth iteration.

Given this list of values;
4, 15, 36, 30, 3, 9

Does this appear to be the sort of information the question is asking for?

Banana Pi has the best benchmark results of them all, but why would you want a single board computer anyway? They're pretty underpowered.

I have two external hard drives, but no space for them near my PC.
So, I want to build a NAS, of sorts.

Single board computers seem like the cheapest way of doing that.

G-Sync adds input lag. Freesync allegedly doesn't.

Sometimes it moves the file.
Sometimes it makes a shortcut.
Sometimes it already has the data in read cache and has enough write cache to hold it without committing it to disk immediately. (In this case you can watch the disk activity happen in Task Manager after Explorer is done copying.)

I haven't seen it hardlink when asked to copy. I'm pretty sure I've only had hardlinks on Windows from using mklink /h.

Need a good mind mapping software, with those bubbles that you can connect and whatnot.
Easy to use with plenty of features would be the best.
Specifically, ability to separate the bubbles by colours, add notes, be able to connect different bubbles together with some lines and stuff like that.

I'm aware this is an insanely retarded question, but this is /sqt/ after all.

If I run an older game at 1440p or 4k on a 1080p monitor, is it going to look noticably better?

I'm trying to run a script every 20 minutes to download a file from my ISP and record the speed, a la
#!/bin/bash

cd ~
rm -f test10MB.dat*
echo -n `lftp -e 'pget ftp.iinet.net.au/test10MB.dat; exit; ' | sed s/"10000000 bytes transferred in "// | sed s/" seconds ("/,/ | sed s/" KiB\/s)"//` >> ~/SPEEDTESTDATA
echo ,$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M) >> ~/SPEEDTESTDATA
rm -f test10MB.dat


This works fine if I just run the script myself, but doing it with crontab with * * * * * ~/.scripts/speedtest.sh only outputs the date, and none of lftp's stuff.
What's going on? Does cron not have permissions to run it, or something? How do I make it work?

The end result is basically anti-aliasing, so depending on the quality of the game's normal anti-aliasing it could look better.

NEED HELP,
I often use MAC Address spoofing to bypass wifi network security, but it takes a while to manually scan the network and try each different mac address until i find a working one,
Would it be possible to write a programme in python that could perform an arp scan and then automatically change my computers mac address to each on the network until it finds a working one by itself?

> 4k on a 1080p monitor

wat

You can render a game at a higher resolution then downscaled with Nvidia DSR and AMD VSR

I would guess cron doesn't run as your user therefore does not share your home directory. Try using the full path.

Please respond. Options for 1080p144hz gaming seem so limited.

The other option I've seen would be the ASUS VG248QE.

There are like over a hundred different models of 144hz monitors.

Most of them are 1440p though, which I don't want. Most modern games are too poorly optimized to play them at 1440p at a high enough framerate for 144hz to matter, no matter your hardware. It's a complete fuckup.

That didn't work. It even outputs the date bit fine, so that's not it. Does lftp need some special permission, or something?
My internet keeps dropping below 1Mb/s and my ISP thinks I'm an idiot, even though the line's got shitty history.

You're a moron.

But that's wrong

I would need some help in choosing between two monitors.

GPU is Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 and I need a good monitor for this.

Will be playing games, and some Photoshop, 3D modeling as a hobby (not anything professional or something).

The two monitors are:

Dell UltraSharp U2715H
2560x1440 mat, LCD LED, IPS, Normal Mode 8ms/ Fast Mode 6ms

Dell S2716DG, 27''
QHD (2560x1440), 1ms, 144Hz, G-Sync

Which one would you choose?

I'm mostly concerned for U2715H if there will be a lot of screen tearing (If it's minimal then I don't care) if I'll be playing games, or ghosting.

I guess the local store I'm buying at is just that limited then, fuck

If you're doing photoshop, go with the first one. The only reason to go with the second one is if you're super fucking into first person.

Is there any way to check the continuity of a VGA cable attached to a monitor, preferably without taking the monitor apart?

I have a VGA CRT monitor that no longer provides EDID information, which among other things prevents me from using the software adjustment utility for it, and prevents the proper resolution modes from showing up.

If you're just doing photoshop as a hobby it doesn't really matter
IPS is nice for colors and viewing angles
144hz is nice for games

How much tearing occurs isn't really dependent on the monitor beyond gsync and freesync outright eliminating it

I found an old network camera. It's a LevelOne FCS-1030. For whatever reason, I can't seem to find the device no matter what and there are no clear instructions on how to connect to it. Does anyone know anything about this kind of thing?

should be "about half of them are likely stupider"

anyone?

cant you just go on there and watch it and record?

(no)

Help a brother out.

I'm trying to scrape the archives of a webcomic from 10 years ago so I can put it all in a .cbr file and not have to go through the website on a browser.

I've got a pretty good handle on how wget works from Googling, but the trouble I'm having I think has to do with how the website is set up.

When you View Image a comic from the archives, it shows up as

errantstory.com/comics/2003-01-31.jpg

You can change the filename to a different comic and it will go to that comic right away, but if you go to

errantstory.com/comics

it just redirects you to the main page.

The command I'm using is wget -r -nd -P /home/myname/Downloads/ES -A "jpg" errantstory.com/comics/ , but it must be being redirected, because it only downloads the one comic that's on the main page.

Is there a way to get wget to go put in any possible filenames in that directory so it can download them? Or any way to stop it from getting redirected?

Cant you just get one of those NAS boxes? They have chassis, drive cages, board and all that shit in one neat package. If you want to reuse the usb drives then just rip them apart and plug the drive inside them directly in. Or get two decent drives, those have just some shitty 2.5" 5000rpm laptop drives in them.

If you want a single board computer get any raspberry pi variant/lookalike. They're slow but you'll be limited by usb 2.0 speed anyways.

You could do a program that goes through dates one by one and downloads images untill it reaches 404 or your custom cap. But it has to be a proper program, I doubt shell scripts understand dates that well.

all of my other devices are wireless.

That doesn't matter to me that much. Especially if the bus is shared with USB and limits speeds anyway.

If I could generate a list of all the filenames, could I put them in a download-file-list.txt file and have wget go down that list?

i randomly mashed a bunch of keys in notepad and the text ended with 12:19 2016-09-19 which was the current time and date. how did this happen? windows 7 btw

Why is it that meteors always happen to land in craters

Well why else would God have placed those craters all over the world?

the crater wasn't already there, the crater is from the impact

Bullshit, there are many empty craters without any meteors in them. How do they know where to land?

I'm using Opera 12.02 portable. I noticed that every time I want to read my feeds two tabs open, Feeds and Mail; the latter won't let me read Feeds. If I close it, this happens. Why, Cred Forums?

Have you tried changing the language settings from Mexican to American?

You could use read to go through that file one by one and pass the line to wget. But I'm not an expert on linux so I dont know what sort of command you'd have to enter.

It'll only affect the addresses that are added to the hosts file, everything else will get the default DNS lookup.

ah ok thanks man. DNS is fucked and it's not ISP side or hardware. something to do with my wireless adapter, but not sure what.

Sí, señor. Pero no funciona.

quick question:
I have a cpu that can only use 1333mhz and below ram.
So in my system i have 4gb of ddr3 ram.
What happens if I add 4gb ddr3 1600mhz ram that is also a different brand.

I assume you mean your motherboard, not your CPU
In any case it will just underclock the RAM to a speed it can use.

If DX12 and Vulcan granter more low level api access, does that mean it can be used to harm your PC? Accidentally or even on purpose?

I'm trying gpu-passthrough with qemu on arch, and followed the pci passthrough guide on the arch wiki.
Now, when I boot the vm, and I go to device management, I see the GPU failed to start because of "some problem (code 43), and the PCI device shows it failed because of lack of drivers which it can't find.

What am I doing wrong? The vm also stays on the IGHD connected screen, I'd assume it'd have to be on the graphics card connected screen.

no

More access doesnt mean full access. Besides, if they wanted to harm your PC then there would be better ways to do it.

Will lower framerates on a 144hz monitor still look good?

e.g. if a game runs at 110fps will it still look smoother than 60fps@60hz?

Do I need freesync/g-sync for that?


I'm honestly so lost. I want to get a really high end PC with a gtx 1080 in it, but I don't know what kind of monitor is best. 1440p 144hz won't be able to run most modern games at 144fps+, so that's why I'm asking.

Yes it will still look smoother
freesync/gsync just fix tearing, which is less noticeable at higher framerates.

Less noticable or not at all noticable? Because I very much hate tearing.

also are there any downsides to freesync/gsync? Such as input lag?

How much you notice it depends on you, but if you hate it that much you should probably get a monitor with free/gsync
I haven't heard anything about them causing any significant input lag.

I found the solution. It was just to kill myself, because lftp refuses to output anything unless it's run interactively, or some bullshit.
This shit is supposed to be fuckin easy on Linux. That's what it's fucking for.

i have a gtx 770 GPU with two monitors attached. The monitors are supplied through the DVI-D and HDMI Ports of the GPU. Can i use the DVI-I Port to supply a third monitor or will i need to buy a DP-DVI Adapter?

Also what's the best practice for monitors, should i get a "prime brand" like ASUS or can i save a couple euros with something that is 20 euros cheaper?

with vsync you drop down to effectively 72 Hz as soon as you dip below 144 fps and you also get input lag. without vsync you get tearing

get a g-sync monitor, it reduces input lag (compared to vsync) and makes everything look much smoother without tearing

Thank you for your help.
Somehow it's exceedingly hard to find unbiased info on free-sync and g-sync. Everywhere I look it's either marketing babble that makes no sense or it's people argueing wether it's good for CS:GO.

oh just fyi there is also fast sync for pascal gpus which is good for things like CS:GO if you have a frame rate above 144 Hz

Oh neat, wasn't aware of that.

One last question for g-sync though: does it automatically jump in when FPS drops below refresh rate (144hz) or is it a thing you switch on and off?

it's automatic

Does overclocking a cpu and gpu increase the stress they're under when not under load ?

All ram can be underclocked by the mobo?
or specific ram boards only

So what kind of degrees would you recommend?
I'm thinking Computer science, with software development, then doing some cyber security. Might do a double degree with math as well. What do you guys think?

Depends on whether voltage is set to adaptive or constant

Its a normal function for all motherboards

I saw a monitor that claims to be 165hz. Acer XB271HU, to be precise.

Is that 165hz by default? If so, does that just work like 144hz does or is it too special to be viable?

I meant can any ram be underclocked?

Officially its 144hz but it can overclock to 165
The difference between 144 and 165 won't really be noticeable

Also normal

So that means if I just buy it and don't play around with it it'll be 144hz?

probably

Do you suppose it could possibly cause any problems in any way imaginable if it was 165hz?

Poorfag eurocuck here. Can someone reccomend me a decent mouse for 10 €? I mostly play vidya

I don't know, maybe
They probably wouldn't advertize it as being overclockable to 165hz if there was a significant risk

Dear /sqt/.

My mother will receive my current PC soon. So far, she was using Windows XP, but with new PC, I think I will simply make fresh install of new one. The question is - should I install her Windows 7 or 8.1?

Is there anywhere one can get a free/cheap Windows 10 license for use in a virtual machine? Or alternatively a reliable/safe activator.

What's a cheap but functional optical drive I can put in my fractal r5?

All I really need to do is install windows with it + maybe install an old game from time to time

Is it worth having more than one? I've already had one but I don't want to delay my graduation. Is it a waste of my time, could I make more money by just graduating sooner?

either 7 or 10, not 8.1

imo you don't need more than one and it wouldn't be worth delaying your graduation for it

Figured my friend was a dumbshit. I'd rather be poor in college then get the dough sooner.

Why?
