I've been working as a help desk tech and jr sys admin without a degree. I want to move up in the field, but every job in the D.C. area seems to need at least a bachelor's.
I'm looking to major in either Info Sys or Computer Science, but both of those require a few calculus or harder classes. I didn't have the opportunity to go to college after high school and now I'm 26 and because I don't do math on the daily even the most basic concepts escape me. Doesn't help that math was never my favorite subject.
Is it possible to relearn 6+ years of maths or am I stuck forever?

Only bumping you, because I fuckin love Yu-Yu-Hakusho
Its doable but it wont be easy
Secret:Degrees just get your foot in the door in the IT business because it just gives a uniform and baseline expectation of your ability.
Use practical demonstration of your abilities, and knowledge while meeting or exceeding their baseline requirements.
The other secret:Getting a degree will add as much as ten thousand dollars to your salary, and qualify you for faster promotion with in a company.
So find out how they will impact you not when you get out of school or just add on another cert to your resume. But what they give you in ten or twenty years.

If you want help:
>State the budget for your build (and country if not the USA).
>List games/software you use often, as well as your monitor resolution + refresh rate.
>Clarify your goal for build improvements: lower price or improved specs?
CPUs:
>G4560 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R5 1400 - if you can't afford better or specifically need 8 threads but not a very powerful CPU
>R5 1500x - Buy the 1600 instead
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage; Get a 1600x if you don't OC
>i7-7700k - Only for 144hz
>R7/Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/mixed use; Not required for just gaming.
GPUs:
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>RX 560 and GTX 1050Ti - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games
>RX570 - 1080p@60hz at high, running most maxed older games at 144+hz.
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@60hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; Go for the RX580 if you can.
>GTX 1070 - 1080p@144hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p.
>GTX 1080 Ti - 1440p@144 hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games; You're kind of going overboard with this one.

RAM:

>Ryzen benefits from high speed RAM
General:
>ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
>Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
>NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor.
>The Ryzen lineup comes with exceptionally good stock coolers. (with the exception of the 1600X) consider using them over any sub 35USD cooler.

Can we ban Intel shills from starting these threads?
>>61105037
Can we ban amd for gaming? There's games that it can't run 30fps on, so why recommend it for gaming? For /g/ related I get it it, but gaming? Come on.

You have to go back.

Yes, and I'm using it right now on my office computer to listen to music.
>inb4 shitposting at work
Earlier, on my way to work, I was using it too, to listen music form my phone.
It's also what I use to plug my phone on my 90s HiFi amp. My computer use a USB DaC with 6,3mm jack for that.
Headphone jack is not going to die any soon, it's the only good consumer analog audio interface.

Is it possible to directly extract images (jpg, png) from a PDF file?
isnt like easy and faster to just google it?
>>61104242
I believe it's possible when you use an ActiveX-interface (for when you need it programmatically), but you could simply use the SnippingTool or Screenshots.

I exploited a bug in Wordpress once that allowed me to reset the administrator's password with no verification or cooldown period. Ran it for several days, generating thousands of "Your password has been reset" emails and essentially blocked the guy running the blog from logging in.
He posted a bunch of shit on Twitter about it, claiming that he was a victim of political persecution and how his freedom of speech was impaired and he started theorising that it might have been some kind of government conspiracy etc. Shit was comedy gold.

Yes, I hacked your mom last night.

oh wow, thank you linux! that is so helpful!
>>61103743
that's gcc you moron,
also learn to use a compiler and/or to write source.
>>61103751
what an articulated response! the helpful linux user strikes back immediately, offering insight such as "it's you, not me"!
>>61103770
oh yeah anon, the problem is the compiler here.. no actually, the os kernel!
