does free will exist?

when will we be able to simulate consciousness?

I'm getting a new monitor and had the idea to use my old one as a secondary monitor for no specific applications. Maybe browsing the web while playing videogames, stuff like that.

The new monitor is 1440p, 144hz, g-sync
The old monitor is 1050p (16:10), 59hz.

Will I run into any problems doing that due to the different resolution, aspect ratio and refresh rate?

Normally I'm a freetard. I use GNU/Linux and free software for the most part. But on some occasions I have to use proprietary shit. I wrote a loader for a software and I'm wondering what's it's legal status? Cracks, patches are direct modifications of binary which is illegal. Keygens are illegal because of similar reason. But loader? I haven't touched their code. All I've done is modified some bytes in the memory, my memory. A cosmic ray shower could modify the byte in my memory. Why do we consider loaders as illegal?

no

Does anyone have extensive experience with opencv and willing to help me with an issue?

>does free will exist?
If God exists, then by definition, no.

I'm trying to transfer a 15GB file from my Mac to my desktop with Windows. I formatted the external hard drive to exFAT then placed the file on the drive. In Windows though, it's asking me to reformat the external hard drive before I can use it. When I try to format it, it's now saying the external hard drive is only 200MB.

Anyone know what's up? I feel it's something simple but it's going over my head.

my usb ports are pretty fucked up, how do i replace them?

Since they're on the case, I'd look on ebay for maybe replacement parts for your particular case, or just some generic case USB cables.

How the fuck did you manage that ?

So the other day I was looking for tutorials on how to get past WiFi pay walls.

Essentially it just involves you cloning the Mac address of another pc on the network.

If it's so easy to do this, is it also super easy to intercept packets and stuff? I mean what stops the router forwarding on the packets to an incorrect Mac address if two devices are the Same on a network?

I'm fairly inept with networking and tech stuff generally, so I'm.just interested.

Why does Windows 10 randomly fail to start up (or not) when peripherals (the culprit changes every time because Windows) are plugged in?

Please could someone very thoroughly explain how exactly does this work

def reverse(text):
result = ""
index = len(text) - 1
while index >= 0:
result += text[index]
index -= 1
return result

>shittalking ES

this picture doesn't belong on Cred Forums, it was never intended to leave ylilauta.

not him but headphones tend to really bend the shit out of USB ports if you don't tape them to the case to take the pressure off.

That and putting shit in blind and having no patience

I'm new to python and programming, but I'll have a go.

>Def
defines the function
>Reverse
Name of function
>Text
Input to function

>Result = ""
Initialises result as a string

>Index = Len....
The variable index is assigned to the length of the input string less one. I.e. the index last character of the string ( because length starts from 1, but index starts at 0)

While loop checks the index is greater than or equal to zero.... I.e. the index of the string would be 0 for the first character of the string. Anything less than that is not needed and would start from the end of the string again.

>Result +=....
Takes the letter designated by the index, concatenates it to the string result

>Index-=1
Reduces the value of the index for each pass through the while loop

>Return
Returns the result

>Please could someone very thoroughly explain how exactly does this work
>def reverse(text):
> result = ""
> index = len(text) - 1
> while index >= 0:
> result += text[index]
> index -= 1
> return result
Make result an empty string
Make index the final element in the list
list[index] is the last character in text
Add it to the empty string
Decrease the index by 1 (index is the second to last character)
Stop after the first character (index 0)

>result is declared and initialized to an empty string
>index is set to the length of the text string minus 1
>loop keeps going as long as the index is larger or the same as 0 (hence the -1 on the previous step
>result is built by adding the character of the text string using the index, which decreases for each iteration, meaning it starts adding the last character to the result string
>index is made 1 lower
>result is returned
Happy?

Need help!
I installed a new GPU (gtx 1060 Gigabyte). After installing it everything seemed just fine, but now when I put my PC to sleep mode and try to wake it up again it shuts down instead. I'm on Windows 7
And yeah, I did uninstall previous AMD drivers I had.

I hate Windows. I love gaming. Windows is optimal for gaming. What do

I just installed windows on my new PC and I was trying to install the Motherboard drivers, so I downloaded the drivers with a laptop and tried to copy them to the PC with an USB, but the PC is not detecting the USB. Or, at least, not through system, as the BIOS does detect it with no problem and allows me to boot from there.

What can I do ?

Dual boot, duh

Can you say that in non NEET words

Student in tiny accommodation here (I have 2x3m of floor space). Should I get an Occulus Rift or an HTC Vive?

Either, use a Linux bootable flash drive to copy the files to the hard drive or pull the hard drive and use a USB-SATA adapter to copy it to the drive from another computer.

Im using HomeBrew on mac os sierra and need some help. i know its possible to install brew casks/taps as system apps but i cant remember how. im trying to install mvp thru brew so i can update easily and so it appears in my system drawers

Google it you worthless fuck

Try DDU to remov elal drivers on your system then go clean.

when did they change that? used to be 30mg/100ml years back when it also cost 95 cents for a can.

I'm looking at buying a new laptop, I want a 2 in 1 with 8 GB RAM and an i5 processor, is this any good? The Intel i5 6200U looks pretty low specced but I use a 5 year old Macbook Pro so pretty much anything would be an upgrade. Or should I just wait for Kaby Lake?

I run win 7 and it happens with external hdds

Isn't there any other workaround? the computer does seems to detect the USB in the bios, I just find weird that the PC itself doesn't.

How hard/complex is to do the Linux thing with no Linux computer?

I'm assuming your network doesn't work (I'd have suggested HFS). Bootable Linux drives are easy, just use Unetbootin and something like Linux Mint.

Yeah I've been looking around for it, seems easy enough. I just don't have a USB with ore than 1GB right now. Fuck me.

Oh well, I was planning on buying one anyways. Guess I'll go with this option if I can't find any by tomorrow. Thanks for the help.

which brand for 480? im seeing xfx/sapphire/msi for around the same price.

also, i mean 4gb, 8gb seems useless even for futureproofing, correct? (im on 1080p)

>I just don't have a USB with ore than 1GB right now.
Use a light distro like Puppy Linux (less than 300MB)
>Fuck me.

Does Windows 7 or 10 run better on older hardware? I have a 5 year old Macbook Pro that I want to dual boot Windows on

That's an option too I guess. Anyway, messed around in control panel and I did something that seems to have fixed the issue for now. It may still happen randomly, who knows. So if anyone's got any idea what's actually causing this fell free to share.

Puppy booted but then it seemed to fail to open some file it was expecting to find in the HDD I think? and left me with console commands, so with no idea on how to proceed I just closed the PC.

I'm trying with "damn small Linux" now, let's see if this one works.

>not without financial compensation
user I'm sorry but I'm intro girls. but we can do it no homo, tho

I grabbed an ISO from TPB and I'm currently installing it in a VM to see if it works and it has all the different editions available to choose from with both 32 and 64 bit.

I have a smartphone with Android 4.4.4
Is there a way to let the phone only vibrate in silent mode, but not in normal mode?
so one mode without sound, but vibration, and one with sound but withouth vibration
I can only turn off the vibration altogether, but that's not what I want

Make sure you format the drive before installing damn small. unetbootin isn't great at clearing the crud.

oh god, I want that!

Ok so "Damn small" did boot properly to some kind of desktop. Now it's time to discover how the fuck can I copy the drivers from the USB to the HDD

His spoken word performance of the bootup sound is stunning.

You need to mount the hard drive. If you can't see the flash drive with the file, either put it on the drive you're booting from or insert the second flash drive when you get the first boot prompt (the one with the boot options and countdown timer).

>, either put it on the drive you're booting from
*the file

Shit nigga, this is starting to sound really complex for a guy who has no idea. All I wanted was to copy a folder from my USB to the HDD.

So Damn small has a "mount" button but the only options that gives to me are "Floppy" and "cdrom", which I'm sure aren't what we're looking for.

Sorry, it looks like mounting NTFS in damn small is a hassle. Try Kapersky, it's small enough for your drive and has a simple GUI.

Ok, so this only seems to happen when the gpu has been used for a while. It didn't happen when i tested it before when the card was clocked to a very slow idle speed. Now when I used it for a while and the clock was at 900 my pc just restarted itself again instead of waking from sleep.

The Kapresky in UNetbootin says it's for malware detection and shit. Will it work anyway?

So for some reason I can't find shit when searching in the Start Menu of Windows 10. I remember this working correctly sometime ago.. but now it doesn't even find anything when I search for group policies or indexing. What might be causing this? The Windows Search service is running..

Yes, just ignore the scan utility that pops up and open the file manager.

That's the one peripheral I don't ever have in during startup. Not through any conscious effort though.

>Kaspersky page site limits the download speed to 100 kb/s

At least the torrent reaches 200kb/s. Feels like the world just doesn't want me to use my computer.

what's wrong with .rar?

So this is really dumb, but I moved recently and had a little $100 Element TV from Walmart, but for some reason I lost the power cord.

Does anyone know if you can get specific power cords easily? I imagine it's probably generic, but i'm not sure which avenues to take to find one.

git submodules are confusing me. Should I use something other than git for backing up nested repositories across my LAN?

My 2nd gen ipod touch died a few months ago and i need another mp3 player.

I was thinking about getting the 64 gb 4th gen since my library has grown and it's not too expensive used on amazon, but I want suggestions for a better/cheaper alternative with a similar interface.

I know I'm a pleb, that's why I'm asking here.

how do i play computer?

Ok so it seems the card wasnt seated properly. I discovered this when the screen suddendly started flickering. Re-seated it (this time so that the switch made a clicking sound) works fine now. Sleep mode seems to be working too.
I sure hope I didn't damage the card by fucking up like this(?) And yeah I know, I'm a retard.

Ok, someone explain to me why powerful CPUs in smartphones are important. I've got an old iphone 6 that I'm looking to replace (currently considering iphone 6s, SE or any number of Android phones). What do you do on your phone that requires a lot of CPU performance?

Moderately unrelated: I'm strongly anti-chrome. Does firefox work well on android devices?

Now this program really seems to be the bee's knees but it keeps telling me my license key is invalid, even though it accepts it as valid when it's entered the first time.
I'm sorry but could you help me out with this ?
Trying to find a way to stop it from telling me it's invalid.

not him, but i use dexpot

Well the most important thing for me is really that it allows me to have 2 seperate taskbars on the bottom that I can pin programs to so that I can use both of them without having to open everything on one monitor and move it.
If Dexpot has this feature, I would consider it as well, unless of course I can solve this thing I got going on right now.

hey guys, check these out please. i didn't see this thread or id have posted here.

what does that even mean

>depreciated
clearly the value is not as good as it used to be - say you bought some software for $60 in 2009 and .rar'd it. Now it's only worth $30 or worse because of depreciation

I have 2 ppl following me on fb and one is someone who isn't my friend and it doesn't show who they are, how do I find out?

also what are all the fb hacks people know about?

Yes, I run Nightly on my phone without any problems

They mostly run java or other object orientated languages. They are taxing. And more and more people(aka the general populous paying every 6 months for "new" stuff) are doing multiple things on thier phone
Youtube/spofify/etc backgrounded

motherboard, you dont want them hauling ass 24/7

You mean burn it? burn it how? isn't it a USB? I'm making a stupid question, right?

Looks like some sort of coaxial DC port with a weird key, hard to tell from the picture

Do you remember if it had a power brick on the cable? If that's the case you'd need to get a new AC adapter too.

Guys, like, I'm kinda illiterate, so I can't find a video I recorded with my phone. When I check the info i get /storage/sdcard1/DCIM/Camera but when I plug it to the PC there is no storage folder or whatever.

Where is it?

Downloaded a bunch of music, some which were in zips. Now i'm going back and realizing some if it is giving me an invalid error, saying Windows can't open the 'compressed(zipped)' folder.

How do fix?

My internet keeps disconnecting while I play Diablo III.

Is there a way for me to monitor the network so that I can troubleshoot what's causing these disconnects? I'd like to know where the problem is so that I may fix it;

For example,
it could be the router, the modem (DSL), or my computer.

my windows defender can't be turned on and its saying its blocked by a group policy. what do i do

use 7zip

What if I pinged a server for 30 mins and had wireshark only monitor the pings?

Then wouldn't it be easy for me to pick out the parts where the internet lost connectivity? And I'd be able to see if I either

1. lost signal from the router or
2. kept router signal but lost internet connectivity

Does powering your computer on an off repeatedly wear out the components or is it just a meme? I'm wondering if it would cause more damage to my stinkpad's battery to just shut it off after I'm done taking a shit or just leave it in sleep mode when I'm done with it.

Well my left screen doesn't stop fucking shaking and I can't get these two differently alligned monitors working properly using the amd program so fuck that.

Any answers are appreciated!

Hey Cred Forumsuys, where would be the best place to learn C++ for free, if there are any?

mods ruined everything

They shall show you the way.

well it takes a strong graphics component to make a super high resoultion screen run effectively, but if you only want 1080p and and you don't need it to run the most intensive games like butter you'd probably be satisfied with 2013 levels of processing power, especially if you throw a custom rom on there.

>Opened my PSU
Don't do that. It's almost the only thing that is legit dangerous for you, and not just risky to your hardware.

Almost anything will work just make sure the reviews say the screen looks good (not talking about resolution) and the battery life is decent. A more recent version of android is better for security reasons. Find one that's cyanogenmod compatible if you can, or at least rootable on your current version of android.

Bitdefender for running silently, malwarebytes free for your manual scans.

What was the norm for HDDs and CD readers before the SATA cables?

My aunt's pc (not the one I'm currently using) has problems with anything "google.ca" or captchas
(not sure they're related or not).

Pic related is whenever I search "google.ca" or type anything in the address bar that is NOT a website.
For example, if I search "rachel mcadams wikifeet", it'll either bring me to pic related or bring me to the google search if I wait +10 minutes. But, the strange thing is that if I type in facebook dot com or Cred Forums dot org or whatever 'direct link', it loads it smoothly with no problems. This happens with both mozilla and chrome.

I just today replaced my old videocard with a modern one with Displayport. DP specs say it can do 4k 60Hz, while HDMI that I have can at best do 4k 30Hz. If I plug in the DP cable only, I get nothing. If I plug in HDMI, I get an image but only 30Hz maximum. The monitor has a settings that it says will do 60Hz, but not only does it not enable 60Hz it's a feature for hdmi connections and requires HDMI and DP both connected.
My computer settings only see 30Hz, but the fresh install of the drivers does recognize the monitor. The only results I found on google were for eyefinity setups (which I don't have) or nvidia, which I didn't buy. How do I get this thing set up to run over DP only so I can actually get the 60Hz?

Cred Forums is not your tutor.

I think the botnet has got me. Tell me if this isn't Cred Forums related.

I made an instagram and twitter account to follow my favorite seiyuus. I did this using a completely separate gmail account that isn't connected to anything.

Instagram gives you suggestions of who to follow and it's always been random accounts like other seiyuus. Today I started seeing accounts of pages that I like on FB, even though I had done nothing to connect this new email address with the address I use for my FB (or anywhere else for that matter). I looked through the settings and made sure nothing was giving away information. No linked accounts, phone numbers, anything.

Now, I dont have the FB app installed but I do have the Messenger app installed (as well as the twitter and instagram apps installed). Could this be the "link"? Since FB owns instagram are they just getting information from my phone since the two accounts are being accessed from the same device?

I don't want anyone to know that I have crushes on japanese voice actresses. Also it was scary as fuck. I'm just going to delete the Messenger app

Second time I've come here for help in a span of 3 years.

I hope the other time wasn't also about you trying to pawn your homework off on us.

>it's only the second person that I've murdered in 40 years

Probably cookies too and whatnot. Tell me which seiyuus so I can judge you faggot.

All android apps get access to a handful of identifying numbers that link to your device and google account.

if i have a 9 year old 42" toshiba regza that works perfectly, is there any good reason why i should upgrade. i mean it has those ugly thick frame bezels or whatever but im just wondering if its massively inferior to whats available now

No, so you can't help?

I'd focus on the display port thing. Maybe google around for 'AMD displayport not working' or something. Could be a setting you need to change. Vague possibility it could be a problem with the cord or the monitor settings.

What are some simple free Android games that you can play over and over? I really like Dots but it gets kinda dull.
Also, is there any pdf reader for Android that is more light-weight than Adobe?

Not what I said. I said we WON"T help, because that's not what Cred Forums is for, so go ask reddit or your teacher.

Kill yourself

If it's 1080p, then not really. They're working on color/motion improvements, but they're not common on sub-$1000 tvs yet. And you can get most of the functionality of a smart tv with a roku or chromecast.

Sticks and stones won't get you an A.

Being a faggot won't get you into Heaven.

I disagree.

Does running a videocard monitoring program in the background provide any performance benefit for me if i'm just running at default clock speeds?

About how long does it take to root a phone? I'm using KingoRoot from my PC and it;s been on 99% for a while now

Why is it that I can't use linux on an android phone?

youtube-dl and mpv, check out the thread that appears here on Cred Forums.

Because android kernels are specific as fuck. And technically you are using linux.

Is there a way to make youtube-dl actually work in a gui? I've tried every possible combination of youtube-dlG and never been able to get squat out of it.

I have an SD card that I use to store music on to play from my phone when I'm out in public. It works fine in the phone, but when I put it in the card reader on my laptop the laptop instantly locks up and I have to force a restart with the power button. Anyone know how to fix this? I'm using adb to push downloaded music to my phone instead but it's a lot faster if I can plug in the SD card directly

It's a T420 if that helps

>Can someone help with this assignment.

I have a relatively new Samsung Galaxy S7 phone.
I use it a lot for watching anime.

I heard Samsung uses a screen type that gets worn out unevenly depending on how much parts of the screens are used.
When I watch a lot of 4:3 anime, will I end up with differently coloured bars on the sides that have kept their quality better than the pixels in the middle?
Should I try to avoid 4:3 anime and go for 16:7 to keep my screens even in the future?

Is there any reason for me to move over from Pale Moon to Firefox with classic theme restorer add-on that will have more add-on support? Does Firefox still have memory leak issues? Palemoon x64 has been working beautifuly but lack of add-on support is killing me.

Here's a direct downloader, I have no idea if there's an 'Open With' add-on equivalent for Chrome browsers like this:
addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-with/

I once had a laptop do that did that when SD cards were inserted. I just got a cheap SD to USB adapter and that solved it. Figure the built in reader was shorting something.

Thank you for providing a link to the thing I just mentioned having already installed several times.

How the fuck do I bypass "your connection is not secure" in Firefox?

plz help im sweating

It varies for different root methods. Probably not this long.

I'm writing smut. Girls with glasses turn me on, but I'm eager to write the protagonist as a glass-wearing girl because it would perhaps make her too cliche (as she is written as a girl with nerd interests).
Should I?

are you a fucking idiot. I know we are in /sqt/ but come the fuck on man

You should figure out why you're getting that. Could be that your AV is interfering with your security certificates, or something more simple like your clock being off. Maybe the site you're trying to visit is shady AF or you're getting MITM'ed.

So what can I do at this point? It's just sitting at 99% on the Kingoroot program and just "Downloading" on my phone

It's been 5 hours man. Let it go.

Start digging around on XDA threads, try and find out how fucked you are if you quit early. Maybe there's a good way to abort.

Your basically talking about arp spoofing and other man in the middle attacks. Its actually surprising how easy it is to steal other peoples traffic over wireless which is why you should always be using https and never doing stuff like bank transactions on public wifi (no shit).

it's possible

i have an S4 which also has an AMOLED+ display which can potentially be burned
i got it second hand last year, not sure how long the previous owner had it, but it's potentially up to 3 years old

it's got a very, very slight amount of burn, only visible on solid, dark grey and at night

i wouldn't worry about it, it's not like your other programs won't display certain things in the same place for long periods as well
ever own a CRT or plasma? if so, did you ever have trouble with screen burn? you have to really fuck up for it to be a problem (like falling asleep with a paused dvd being on screen or something)

By the time you have any serious problem it would probably be time to replace your phone anyway.

Would Disconnecting the USB and reconnecting help at all? I'm doing some digging now, but thought I'd ask in the meantime

I would like to encrypt the harddrives on my laptop. I have an SSD with the windows system and a regular hard drive for storage.
I use Windows.
What software would you reccomend that offers the best security? How good is VeraCrypt?

If you could tell me a tiny bit about advanced stuff like hidden partitions that would be great too

Is being able to run a virtual instance of linux on a laptop a good indication that it would run if I decided to install it for reals?

Maybe. It's different for every exploit and program. Could help, could leave something important unfinished. Even a slight chance it could brick. I don't envy being in you situation. I usually try to know the risks and mitigations before I start anything like that myself.

Is this a scam?
verlot.com/Shop/products/Seagate-Expansion-Desktop-3TB-External-Hard-Drive-%2d-3.5in,-USB-3.0,-Black-%2d-STBV3000100.html

I mean, I read all the stuff, and I made sure the connection for the USB was good and wouldn't disconnect, I'm using the USB that came with the phone and everything. I don't know what could of caused it to get stuck like this, honestly.

It indicates that you have enough system power to run it. But as far as actual hardware compatibility, that's harder to say. Hypervisors virtualize things pretty heavily, especially GPUs.

occurred before i even installed an antivirus

any idea why I can't get my 4770k to idle below 35 degrees, i've tried cleaning the case, multiple heat sinks, and reapplying the thermal paste, it's beyond frustrating

what's your ambient temperature?

VeraCrypt is the best choice since truecrypt went unmaintained.

veracrypt.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Hidden Volume

use odin

mid 60's to 70's, live in seattle so it's not like the weather is cooking it, have tried both aftermarket water and fan coolers, albeit not high price ones

You do know how heat sinks work, don't you? 35C is pretty low.

What you should be googling is the sec error unknown issuer thing. Assuming google canada hasn't fucked up their certificates then something is interfering with your local certificate manager, or your clock is off. AVs are the most common culprit, or you could have something like lenovo interference. There's a vague chance reinstalling your browser could help, but it usually goes deeper than that. Also check if it happens on other browsers or computers on you home network.

I have a pre built computer. My ssd was attached to an adapter, but it's literally a SATA to SATA connection. What is the point?

from what i've seen it should be high 20's ideally, plus when running games like bf4 it can easily jump to the 80s and low 90s which is a bigger problem

i'll admit i could be worrying too much though

Why should I use Linux?

>bigger problem
Are you getting full stop system locks?
Are you getting graphical artifacts?
No?

35C idle is fine
80-90C peak is fine

There is nothing to do here

ok i'll just get over it then

used to get blue screens but the after market coolers did fix that so ignore me and my stupid question

I know the game is infamous for being a bad port, and this would be better suited for Cred Forums, but I've noticed that the game depends a lot more on the CPU than the GPU. That said, how powerful must the CPU be for the game to be able to render everything at max settings, and not see massive frame drops? Would the latest Skylake i7 be up to the task?

got x220

idles at 60

prime 95 at 88c

this isn't right

what are the typical temps?

PATA drives required a separate power cable from the PSU or was the power included already?

Hi, any macfags in here?

I'm having some difficulties adding a network location on El Capitan and either my google-fu sucks dick or OSX does

Let me explain the situation:

Let's say i have this computer with a second drive named E: that has a shared folder inside. I want to reach that shared folder with a macbook

So how the fuck do i specify that E: drive when i add the network location on said macbook?

so far i go smb://nameofthePC and then what?

In windows you go e$ and that's it.

So is there a reason timing attacks still exist?
Why can't you just broadcast random data all the time to hide actual connections? Or maybe send out random spurts that look like encrypted data every once in a while?
It's a pretty simple idea so someone else must have thought of it, so why isn't it used?
Is it just bandwidth/CPU load, or is there some sort of fundamental crypto problem?

Is the Samsung UN55KS8000 the best tv in it's price range?

3.5" and 5.25" drives used a seperate power connector, typically called "molex" (which is technically a misnomer, as molex is just the company who made it, along with literally every other kind of connector ever)
2.5" drives used a smaller PATA connector with 4 extra pins, which included power

A Skylake i7 6700K has the best single thread performance of any current processor period and the best multithreaded performance short of 6+ core X99 platform CPUs.

It can handle GTA V just fine.

and if you're curious, yes, there were 5.25" hard drives

I may be facing a very interesting situation where I need to strip out a VIP’s (VERY VIP) email address from a bunch of archived email… Basically, they don’t want the VIP’s email address exposed to anyone, and want to be able to either strip out or replace the email address in the to/from fields in all of the emails we want to send out.

Does anyone have experience with something like this, and/or suggestions on how this might be accomplished?

meant this for you

I mean do you have a skylake processor? This is most likely your problem

pastebin.com/gHCCFBkt

Are you Paul Combetta?

I don't know but my processor is i3-2310m

NO

HOW DO I DELETE THIS

Definitely not a skylake. Are you trying to use usb 3 ports?

I guess?

I've got a 25 dollar best buy gift card. Looking to buy a pair of IEMs. What should I get?

Do you have somebody who knows a little bit more about computers that can help you?

Not really.

I have usb 3.0 ports on the laptop if that's what you mean, why is that important?

Make sure you are connecting the flash drive to a USB 2.0 port.

I'm trying to flash magisk onto my G Flex 2 but I'm having so much trouble.

First, I can't enter recovery mode normally; no combination of the 3 buttons works. I've been using Android Studio to send "adb reboot recovery" to the phone and that boots it to the "dead" android logo. From there I can't do anything; no combination of buttons I've tried brings up the menu that should be there.

Is my root fucked? Do I have to do a factory reset?

OK so now I don't get the old error message but this one instead. It won't let me install to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS. What do?

eb games, gamestop, any game store really, just make sure its official and not 3rd party.

format a partition to ntfs, or create one and format that to ntfs

There we go! I think that did it. Thanks guys!

in outlook, how do i make it so all mail from one sender gets sent to the trash instead of my inbox? my college sends uninteresting news bulletins twice a day and there's no way to unsubscribe.

How far into the booting can you actually go? When exactly are you getting that message?

It's all good now bro, thanks anyway.

Hello all- I may be facing a very interesting situation where I need to strip out a VIP’s (VERY VIP) email address from a bunch of archived email that I have both in a live Exchange mailbox, as well as a PST file. Basically, they don’t want the VIP’s email address exposed to anyone, and want to be able to either strip out or replace the email address in the to/from fields in all of the emails we want to send out.

I am not sure if something like this is possible with PowerShell, or exporting all of the emails to MSG and doing find/replaces with a batch processing program of some sort.

Does anyone have experience with something like this, and/or suggestions on how this might be accomplished???

>tried testdisk or something like that, my best efforts resulted in something like drive can't be accessed or similar response
>using disklist and the other commands through CMD also don't work

Anything else I could try or is the drive totally fucked ?

Maybe because of the cranked up saturation Samsung uses ? They make their colours too powerful, possibly resulting in eye strain, especially at night if you don't use f.lux equivalent on the phone
Also I've never heard, but also never looked into the "OLED better for your eyesight" thing

Youtube's most popular content is also its most profitable, so they will put that in your recommended vids to increase their own revenue. Plus they assume that if he's getting that many views, he must be doing something right, so maybe you'll like him.

high contrast + some phones have overly saturated colors by default

tune down the saturation, and consider using livedisplay (or whatever f.lux-like equivalent) for night viewing

Just install two OS on the same pc (google it!)

What does dual booting actual entail?

I know it's having two hard drives or SSD's, with one OS on each, and booting from one or the other, but what's the actual process like?

Is it merely going to the BIOS screen and selecting which one to boot from?

Remember to disable hyper-v beforehand!

Samsung has a few options for display like basic, cinema amoled, adaptive display, etc. I tried adaptive at first, but took it too basic. I heard basic shows the true colors. Is contrast still too high with basic display?

doesn't need to be diff drives, just diff partitions.

also the process is:
press button to turn on computer
press up and down arrows to select os from list
press enter
you did it now the os is booting!!!!!

can anybody linked me to a /tech/ approved guide for getting the least pozed installation of Windows 10? (text to guide, YouTube videos etc.)

can anybody help?
