My Moto G doesn't work with my cars FM transmitter. The transmitter works with other devices, and the Moto G works with other aux devices (headphones). I'm thinking the aux plug on the transmitter is too short, but it really does fit in there snugly. Not sure what to do.

I'm wondering if there are any Android launchers that support diagonal icon layouts. I have a hexagonal icon pack and it doesn't look great unless it's diagonal to one another.

(Pic is not my layout; i just post updates of it in homescreen threads for shits and giggles)

Are source based linux distros like gentoo more secure than binary ones? how do binary distros stop people compiling packages with malicious code?

Anyway to prevent Windows from searching certain folders? It doesn't have to be TrueCrypt-level protection, just to prevent family looking for vacation photos from finding lewd photos.

Currently I just have them hidden with the folder options set to not show hidden, but that's like the first thing you turn off if your looking for anything. Also indexing is disabled.

I can connect to a few wifi networks around me, and the 802.11n one works but the 802.11g ones are really slow to the point of barely even functional

Why is this?

>>40545653
Indexing is the only way to disable certain folders from showing up in the search inquiry.

Does FF 27.0.1 have the ads yet?? I'm on 26.0 with no desire to upgrade.

>>40545949
Ads aren't coming for a while. This is Mozilla we're talking about. If they mentioned a feature, it's coming in 6 months at a minimum.

Finally making the switch and putting Ubuntu onto a mini-notebook that I have. I chose it after doing some research and learning that it is the most user friendly.

Right now im downloading the Ubuntu 13.10 ISO 64-bit version and will mount/install on my 16gb thumb drive. I've already set booting order to USB priority on my laptop.

I chose the "Desktop" version. It will work on my laptop, right?

Also, the laptop has 2gb of ram. Its an Acer 722 Inspiron One. Only about 3 years old. Is 64bit the correct version?

how are lenovo smartphones?

I got bluetooth question(s):
1: Is it possible to link my phone to my computer as a call feature?
2: I'm trying to run my wii remote on my computer. I've seen people do it and I'm getting no where doing it. help?

3: What is the best bluetooth mouse app? I've looked thru a lot and I can't figure anything out. I've tried to set servers up and everything and nothing will connect

>>40546080
Anon, what are you running? w8? then get fl 9 you are fine. If you need any more help, I'll send you some screen shots. I use FL.

>>40546091
basically just Location at most. Not complete pin point but general location like
•Ben allen live in Tyler, TX
you wont know EXACT GPS but you know

>>40546105
a lot of great artists use it. It's not bad. Just don't over use Nexus and try to hard to sound like Cascada or Basshunter and leave it to them. You are good.

>>40546148
>not using Ableton Live + other software tied into it

>>40546148
I know FL studio is trustworthy I just need to find a trustworthy crack, all the ones I've found are fakes trying to give me viruses

>>40546160
They both basically do the same thing but Albeton is a lot more work to play with and not everyone wants to take that much extra time when FL is not complicated it's just time consuming. It took me almost 2 years to get where I am. I didn't know for at least a month that I could hit the keyboard and make things.
>INB4 Dubstep is created this way

>>40546206
On TPB if you see a skull next to a person's name it means they have uploaded enough trustworthy content to know that you can go with it basically. what ever they upload will most likely work.

here:

if that sounds like it's crackling, let me know and I'll post my stuff for FL. Some settings have to be played with. I got it all down.

Best case for cable management?

>>40546250
like I said anon, the farthest they can get you is general area. They wont know where you are.

I would say go under if you feel it's needed. Look into TOR or proxy sites.

My brother in law gave me his old iPod and i was wondering a few things that i cant seem to find answers for online. Its one of those small square small ones with the touchscreen, gen 6 or something.

>Can you configure songs on a playlist that are out of the normal song queue?
I have an album that i would only rarely actually want to listen to and don't want the songs to come up unless specifically selected.

>How do i stop the weird flow feature that eases songs seamlessly together when one is about to end?
Its just annoying, some songs have memorable beginning or ends that i want to hear on their own, this feature is retarded.

personal advice, take it to the police. Ask what your options are. If you can't because of shit on your pc you SHOULDN'T HAVE well see what the blackmailers want.
aside from that, you can always jump IP's by getting another internet provider

>>40546307
just let them flow like normal auto updates. its easier. Since you don't know anything anon, its better to play around and not take it seriously, you will only fuck your phone over. Depending on what OS it has at the moment depends on how stable it is. If it's Kitkat...I'm sorry. That OS is a piece of shit.

>>40546380
call Apple. No seriously.

>>40546476
yeah, follow the instructions. Like I said, W8, use FL9.Window's 7, try 11 and see if it works. Don't ask me why, I've been trying to get shit to work. Last time I tried FL11, It bugged, so I went to 10.0.9 (i think it was). So see what happened. You might get wonky audio but that can be fixed with playing with settings.

>>40546460
But for real though. Am I going to jail?

>>40546244
It was the reverse for me, I found FL to be really cluttered and unintuitive especially when making beats. Maybe its because I started on Ableton so thats how I "wired" myself when working with DAWs
Anyway, my question is should I bother with a Bluray drive for my build. The only real use for it would be watching my limited collection of bluray movies and maybe for backups

>>40546552
Probably not

>>40546553
1:yeah I suppose, everyone tells me they all start at FL and goto Albeton later as like a learning tool. My computer has to worth like almost 2k or more with how many plugins, movies, music I've gotten over the years.

2:IDK jack about blue-rays. Everyone seems to love them and they are going down in price at least. That's a plus. If anything just get a ps3/4 and go from there.

>>40546527
I can't even tell if you're serious.
>>40546573
>Probably not
that's reassuring

>>40546646
they are most likely idiots that don't know jack shit. It's most likely the crack file. It's built very close to a trojan. It's not. I have plenty of friends who use FL and know it's not. Don't worry anon, they are retarded on the bay. A lot of them are.

I am the 2nd main uploader of the sims complete collection. I get people asking how to install it all the time. I leave a read me in it and explain EXACTLY how to install it. I even left in the comment section what the hell to do and they are still fuckwads.

Did I do something wrong when I last installed Debian? I had to dual boot and when I went to install it, it said I needed ~200gb for the partition. I didn't really have a use for it when I first installed, but now I can be a lot more casual with computer use . Can you guys recommend a light distro that's very simple to install?

How do I set 4chan x to redirect me to the catalog when I click the board index? I've been trying to find the setting, with no avail.

>>40546776
they can't prove you are or not. They would have to have some serious proof. Back up your shit and then take the rest there. Just clean up your browser, cleanup your torrents.
Torrenting itself is not illegal. torrenting is for the need of big files.

OK example:

I was talking to my dad about this today. I was thinking of ripping my real windows 7 starter disk to my dad. I was going to rip, turn it into an ISO, then make a torrent, then send it too him on facebook. NOW because it's from 1 person to another not a bunch of people, then it's not "stealing" like everyone wants to believe. It's more or less making a copy for PERSONAL USE and not resale or anything, The police cannot arrest you for torrenting itself. The content yes. but they have to have REAL proof of you torrenting illegal movies. For all they know you could of borrowed the movie, or gotten it from red box. ripped it yourself and kept a copy. Now are you selling it? no. Are you torrenting it yourself? most likely not. see the point? They can't say anything to you that they don't know. It would be like blaming someone for a murder who had an alibi.

I don't know if this helped or not but I tried.

>>40546723
>it said I needed ~200gb for the partition
You fucked something up, there's no way a debian install would need that much space. More like 3-4gb

What do you guys think is the (realistic) percentage of people who buy a computer, being mac or pc, that don't know what they are buying into?

They both CAN do amazing things but people buy these machines and don't know the first thing about them. They never use them for anything but picture and a few songs and then the interwebz

a very basic file server, just to replace the need for something like dropbox

This might more go in the programming general or whatever, but I think it's pretty dumb to ask this, being a programming noob in general.

If I want to release something like a standalone command line utility for all platforms, for Linux or Mac OSX, how would I go about doing that?

In Windows, you can provide a .exe and if it's static, everyone can run it as a command line tool with no problems in terms of dependencies, end of story.

For Mac OSX, do I use a .dmg to distribute something like that? What about Linux? tar.bz? Are they really standalone?

Get Haswell over Ivy Bridge, the prices are the same and there's boost in both performance and efficiency

Upgrade path for a faggot with a AM3 (non-plus) motherboard.

Currently my system is:
955BE @ 3.6GHz (c2 stepping, awful overclockers.)
8GB of DDR3-1333 corsair cheapo ram.
MSI Radeon R9 270 gaming.

My choices seem to be:
Dump a 1090t on my current motherboard.
8350 and an AM3+ motherboard.
Core i5 4670k and a 1150 motherboard.

Obviously, the 1090t is the cheapest option, but will give the smallest boost in performance compared to my existing Deneb.

The Intel CPU and motherboard will set me back a few quid and while not a fanboy, I do have a slight soft spot towards AMD due to having been buggered by intel & Netburst in the past.

Advice?

>>40550204
Lol, no.
A mobo is a mobo is a mobo. If the MSI model has the features you need..buy it. If the VI has the rice you crave..buy it. that simple.

>>40550481
Just wondering but generally what are differences between mobos - what differentiates one from another besides the socket? Like why is there big price gaps?

The only features I'd really need are like SATA and USB 3.0 along w/ all the normal stuff like audio ports etc that pretty much all modern z87's have.

You should definitely get the i5 4670k. Intel progresses every two years, unlike AMD. AMD just adds more cores to their processors to compensate for the shitty architecture. Compare the i5 4670k to the 1090t on AnandTech Bench and be amazed.

So, my PC at work has only an HDMI port and a VGA port, and I'm not allowed to modify the hardware.

What's my best bet for connecting a 3rd monitor? Can I make the HDMI output different stuff to 2 monitors? Or would I have to go for USB / displaylink stuff?

I want to remove my current HDD from my pc, then connect a new one. After some time I'm going to switch back to the old one again. Will everything be as it was before switching it out?

>>40552176
Sure.

Are the philips spa 5300 good speakers? They're quite cheap, so I was thinking of buying them.

Which ones are better in that price range?

Is a 550ti enough for BF4 at 720p?

>>40552025
displaylink adapter. I have a usb monitor that has one built in, it's really good. I can actually game in eyefinity with it, it can be anoying a little due to the 16ms delay between it and the internal on my laptop, but I would imagine 3 wouldn't be as bad. Dont expect to do anything with colors though.

How do I learn SQL, C# and .Net?

>>40552619
thanks, was afraid it had to come to displaylink, thanks.

So I'm using some code libraries and infront of every variable there is 'm_'

What does this mean?

>>40552676
mmmmmveryimportant_variable

>>40552640
It's really not that bad. you wont notice the difference really.

>>40552687
I do own a dp monitor for studying at the library - it's mediocre at best, but that is probably because it has no own PSU and gets its power from USB too.

The thing is, my workplace only supplies 2 screens max per person, so I'll have to buy a 3rd screen and that adapter myself. Oh well.

>>40552685

so 'm_' means important?

why?

I was wondering if someone could give me some ballparks on some PC parts my sister wants to move. I'd post her speccy but when she sent it to me she decided to do it by taking a picture of her screen with her phone and it's blurry, barely readable shit:

>Intel Celeron G540 2.5GHz
~£50?

>4GB DDR3 RAM
~£10

>ASRock B75 Pro-3 M
£50+, seems like a decent board.

>ACER P205H 20 inch LCD monitor
Couldn't find anyone selling one. They still sell for 100 or so quid new so I was thinking somewhere in the region of 80 quid. She barely uses it, it's good as new.

>Samsung SSD 830, 119GB
~£50

And that's all it really has no. Graphics card other wise I'd buy it off her at a cut rate to mine with.

I have symptoms of a common cold (coughing, feeling weak, runny nose, occasional sneezing) and had it for around two days now. However, the mucus color is dark yellow/brown/beige.

Is it just a cold? Internet indicates it could be something more and that I might need antibiotics or something. I usually ride these things out.

nope, it's the 14" portable lenovo one. TN panel, too. But, it's damn light and portable. Not sure what to feel about it, I'd say the good and bad aspects negate each other to an overall indifferent feeling.

>>40552813
meh then idk, seems to be fine for me.

>>40552830
yah, it's a very useful addition to my notebook.
Anyways, you don't happen to have some recommendation for usb->vga displaylink adapters?

>>40552807
I should not that mucus color has been mostly clear so far. Woke up today with probably some older mucus or something.

>>40552807

You only need antibiotics if you have an infection. The easiest way to tell is if your throat is dry and swollen. Otherwise it's just a cold. I was sick a week ago, lasted 4 days.

why is VNC so goddamn slow

So I'm a long time usenet user (20 years or so). Recently the past years usenet has been hit with various dmca trolling so it has occasionally been a pain downloading stuff. Generally scene releases are easy to get with the req id. But I have serious problems downloading the 25GB+ bluray rips. All of them are passworded and have obfuscated name like 0844c579-8039-44f1-a63b-480361507efd.rar. How to I get the password?

I'm not especially fond of donating money to MPAA honeypot #45 indexer that will go out of business within the next 3 months.

What's best suitable for an average gamer, i7 4770K with 780ti or i5 4660K with 780? It's about $300 more to spend on the first alternative and I'm wondering if it could be worth it?

How to backports SDL2_image on Wheezy? There are no binaries for download and for some reason backports can't find it.

>>40557032
Honestly it depends on how high you want your framerate. I think the 780 with the i5 will handle anything you throw at it for the next 5 years, but if you want that extra couple FPS go for the i7. I wouldn't get the 780 ti, I would just get the i7 and the 780. I use an AMD FX6300 with a GTX 760 and my framerate is where I want it to be.

>>40556971
a lot of those were on a specific MPAA honeypot indexer that is now no longer functioning, so I would ignore them at this point, since no one saved the passwords

my question for you: how do you find the req id list? is there a request site?

>a lot of those were on a specific MPAA honeypot indexer that is now no longer functioning, so I would ignore them at this point, since no one saved the passwords
Well there are tons of releases that are passworded every hour. There are plenty of 22-50GB releases which I suspect are bluray rips. They are also named with hashes which implies there is a database somewhere with correct release name and password.
>how do you find the req id list? is there a request site?
It's all on irc. I use:

http://abmoovee.allfilled.com/reqs.php?fetch=posted&page=1

It works for the normal sd, 720p and 1080p re encodes. Just paste the req id into binsearch or use the links.

I need a piece of software that can cut out a part of a video file. The simpler the better.

Example: Video is 15 minutes long and I want just 3 minutes segment from it.

I just got my hands on some older servers and drives that I plan to transfer over my mail server among other services to. What utilities should I use to format everything? Can I trust the formatting of a Debian installer to wipe, partition, and arrange arrays or should I use a bios booted utility to do all that? I want to make sure I follow the most secure and full proof method for wiping

>>40558287
dban to wipe and gparted to format. when you mention "arrays", i assume you are aware that virtual volumes like raid or zpools have to be set up by the os, there is no other way.

Windows Movie Maker

Sorry for being this new but what exactly is a hackintosh? Google gave me some answers, but I am not sure I actually understand.

>>40558456
Just make sure that you export the cut video, not save it. If you save it it will just give you a file that tells you what changes you made, not the video itself.

>>40558393
Mint is better. Mageia includes a stupid as fuck "Mageia Control Center" that is slow to load and overly complicated. It's one of the worst distros out there because of all the custom bloatware it includes.

>>40558463

>>40558454
So, the one with more support is the better one to start with?

Can I dual boot and use 2-disk RAID with both Linux and Windows 7? I guess it would have to be NTFS.

Should I just build a NAS?

>>40558493
yup

>>40558347
OK. Some servers have a dedicated raid card so I am not exactly sure how they will be implemented. I am used to Debian GNU/linux. Which *BSD should I give a try? Anything else?
Thanks for the advice on the utilities. I need to do some wiping.

>>40558519
Ok. What's the difference between Mint Ubuntu and Mint Debian? I thought Ubuntu was based off of Debian anyways?

what happened to the captchas?

>>40558495
no. virtual volumes are managed by the os, one wouldn't be able to see the other.

nas are worthwhile builds. i would seriously consider whether or not you need any sort of raid, it's probably the single most misunderstood topic discussed on /g/. hint- raid is not a backup solution.

Hacked macintosh = hackintosh

Comes down to hacking OS X and the PC BIOS so it can be installed on normal PC

>>40558647
Ok. I know there are a bunch of BSDs. That gives me somewhere to start. I'm a pretty static person. Been using Debian and Gentoo for years.

>>40558559
depends on what you are doing, freebsd has the best support overall. i'm really not the person to ask though, my only bsd experience is freenas.

>>40558564
it is, but the code is different enough that they each have their own packages. ubuntu and debian use separate repositories with their own package managers. i've never personally tried mint debian, but i've heard good things about it.

>>40558612
regular backups either to an external hdd or over the network to a nas. raid provides redundancy, so you're server won't just go down in the middle of the night, but if something fucks up your data like malware, accidental deletion, or even memory errors or corruption, it's just mirrored in the array or zpool. in it we have a 3-2-1 rule for mission critical backups- make 3 backups, on 2 different types of media, and store one offsite. you don't have to get that crazy with it at home though, i personally keep my nas backed up to a 3tb usb drive.

>>40558656
Just a quick note to anybody who is considering doing a hackintosh: Absolutely do not use iAtkos, iDeneb, Leohazard, or any of the "precooked" ISOs. They're basically packed with a ton of hacks made that do way more harm than good to make their installation "one size fits all". What you want to use is myHack, which is a utility for installing a raw copy of OS X. Also use Multibeast to get your hardware working post-installation.

I am trying to understand the fundamentals of hackintosh. Why in the fuck would anyone bother running good hardware on OSX after going through all the trouble to get it set up?
