as a CS major looking for an internship this summer. I feel as though what I learned in school still hasn't hit me yet in terms of real life applications. What kind of things should I study/focus on this upcoming semester to get my feet wet for the job market, my interest for now just seem to be software development

Is cyanogen still good, or did they go full proprietary?

Looking for a simple, essentially stock rom, but all the "pure stock roms" for my (verizon) phone have been shit.

Cyanogen always worked fairly well, are they still privacy respecting, and mostly free?

Quick question for all of you. I'm a neophyte to PC building but would this build be adequate for 3d modeling, 3d/2d animation, game developing, and gaming?

I use my phone for a hotspot, and have done so for a few years now. A while back I replaced the battery with an aftermarket, and the specs were a bit off but it connected just fine. Oh, it wasn't made to be user replaceable, by the way.

Anyhow, on the odd occasion that I do go anywhere, when I get to using my phone to any degree, it shuts off due to the battery crapping out.

Is there anything I can do about it? Short of another full replacement.

I don't recommend cyanogen, I recently installed 12.1 on my sm-g900p (sprint gs5) and its a little unstable.
What seems like Memory leaks every now and then, the touch screen and buttons become unresponsive and I have to pull the battery.
Happens more often using clover than any other app. I haven't fucked with it much either, the only root apps on it are xmodgames and supersu. Also the over clocking settings seem to be gone, and Samsung's keyboard was way better.
But in terms of privacy its fine. Just don't install that crap Google now shit, I did and it tells me shit when I get to work and stuff

Does anyone know of a guide for safely pirating with a raspberry pi?

Is it worth to install El Capitan on a PC?

>>52426968
absolutely not, osx is a horrible operating system, especially on hardware that wasn't specifically made for it, i.e. macs.

>>52426817
You could potentially run a liquid hydrogen or potentially even a helium loop in a much less insulated compartment of a space craft alongside a secondary transfer medium. (though you would be running it pretty close).

Not that buying and custom fitting an entire spacecraft is a good way of going about overclocking, though you could probably have a blast shitposting with your benchmarks on /g/.

Was wondering whether or not to make a thread about this but:

Got a second XFX 280x for crossfire. Was running 15.11 crimson drivers, enabled crossfire and every 30 seconds everything would crash with an 'amd display driver error'.

So then I used ATIWinflash to flash a new (identical for both cards) vBIOS to them.

Now, windows starts ok using the iGPU, with a second monitor on the 280x. However, anything remotely graphically intensive results in the second monitor turning light blue with dark blue vertical lines, and a complete system freeze.

What do? (I tried cleanly installing new drivers before flashing vBIOS to no avail)

I have an 800 dollar budget to buy my first laptop that I'll be using for school.
The only preferences I have are:

More broadly, if you had 800 dollars to blow on a laptop, what would you buy? I'm open to any suggestions.

it depends. Intel ones suck some serious balls, an i5 is barely able to run indie games. 2005 and up 3D games? forget about it.

On the other hand, AMD apu's are pretty good, at least on desktop pc's. When it comes to laptops, A8 and up are decent enough to play most games on mid to low settings. Your laptop will burn like hell tho.

windows licenses have a number of activations permitted. They're spent whenever a particular pc (identified by hardware) connects to the Microsoft servers (by using Windows update for instance). That activation will be spent when you connect the second pc, simply because it's not the same hardware. If the number of activations hasn't reached the limit you'll be fine, if not you'll get an error message when you check activations status.

What's a sound card for? I mean, I know it's for sound but does it make it better like a GPU does for graphics? Is it worth it to invest in a sound card? Does it improves the PC's performance? (Like having a dedicated sound card will add some fps in a video game).

Also, if it's worth it, would a PCI x1 card be good?

Is there a way to skip linkbucks, adfly, etc advertisement pages without having to view the advertisement?

>>52429400

Sellouts, google it.

Ublock is better in every way.

>>52429627
it's mainly for isolation if you get interference from your onboard sound, and also for extra/specialized outputs

>>52429627
>but does it make it better like a GPU does for graphics?
Sooort of. A better GPU lets you set the graphics settings higher because it has more computational power for graphics-related tasks that a CPU. A soundard does the same, but for sound. However, for a video game, sound generally isn't the bottleneck, since you're just playing audio files, not doing a whole lot of processing. They were useful back when just playing audio (i.e. decompressing it) was too computationally intensive for the CPU, so that if you had one, you could e.g. increase your graphics settings. But these days, you don't generally need one, since the CPU is more than good enough at handling audio. If your CPU is maxing out, then a better CPU would almost certainly be a better investment then a sound card.

So unless you need extra outputs for audio or something like that, don't bother.

This doesn't deserve its own thread, but I have no friends to appreciate it.

I ordered Gskill Ares ram for my computer as an upgrade. 2x8GB sticks rated at 1866. When installed into my computer they were running at 1333 speed. They were plugged into dual channel and everything, i went into my UEFI and changed the speed to 1866 and it now runs at 1866.

I'm just wondering if this is considered an overclock and its not running at recommended speed? did i get 1333 ram somehow? the product page shows 1866 for sure. I also read somewhere that for some higher rated RAM you need to go into the bios\uefi and do what I did.

Again im just trying to make sure im doing everything correctly.

Well, I guess it's more Adobe Bridge. I think Photoshop has an option to just auto-name your images (image1, image2, etc.) While Bridge and Lightroom are easier to sift through and organize. The latter two are more for photographers. I suggest LR the most for what you need.

Okay /g, I want your oppinion.
I bought an Alpenföhn Ben Nevis CPU cooler for my AMD FX 8320e. The cooler itself wouldn't fit on my MB no matter how much you looked, but I didn't want to use the boxed cooler.
So I google my problem and find a forum thread, where some poor chap has the same problem but the people there tell him "Hurr, you're an idiot, the cooler will fit, just use force." and he end up breaking his MB.
So I used some small rubber spacers to make the cooler fit, but I'm not 100% sure if I should keep it. It does it's job, currently keeping the CPU at 25°, but I don't know if it will hold up if I try to OC the CPU.
I still have 7 days left to return it, what would you do?

No, not more than 3 years.
My thinking is rather that CPU cooler are supposed to fit perfectly to do their job right. And with my tinkering may haven't mounted it properly and it will melt the CPU in OC or when it's under high load.

Anyway, thank you for the quick answer. I just checked the shop where I bought my stuff and the 212 evo is 3 bucks more then the Ben Nevis. Gonna keep that in mind.

I have 16GB of RAM and I notice the usage always hovers at 8GB which is a lot imo, is this normal or does Windows lets programs utilise more RAM or doesn't clean it because that much is available? Or do I really need to upgrade to 32GB?

LMY48T was released after the EOL but I found no infos about future patches, eg. the bugs outlined in the 2016 January Nexus security bulletin.
Is my understanding right that if Nexus 4 doesn't get these patches, it means using Nexus 4 by normies browsing the web and casually playing unknown video files is too dangerous?

Can you tell me which argument I use in the config file?

>>52436545

>Wants to update Aptoide
>*NEW PERMISSIONS NEEDED*
>*RECEIVE SMS*
>*SEND SMS*
>*THIS CAN COST YOU MONEY*

What happened to the app, why does it need these permissions?

>>52436878
>Aptoide
That's how new malware MO.
It start as seemingly safe service then through repeated "UPDATES" it get escalated permissions and the next thing you know your nudes are on /b/.

I pulled a a random changelog title from the blog. I have no idea when that was added.

I'm sorry I lied, senpai.

>>52436912
Any alternative? The main reason I used it was because it automatically finds beta versions of apps.

>>52436929
>automatically finds beta versions of apps.
Where did you get that?
All those "beta" apps are cracked version on the legit apps + whatever they add in.

>>52436960
>Where did you get that?
Because some apps has the 'THANKS FOR TRYING OUR BETA VERSION' blablabla, and that it what makes me think it downloads beta versions.

Are there any good tools out there for recovering unresponsive SD cards? Here's the deal: I have a Kingston 8GB Class 10 SD card which I flashed and installed a bootable Linux distro for Raspberry Pi (I think that was the Kodi thing). Long story short it never quite worked right, so it just sat there for a while. Now I'm trying to give the card some new use, when I plug it on my laptop's SD port, I can hear the "doo-dee" sound that Windows (7 Ultimate) makes when it detects new hardware, but nothing else happens. Checked on diskpart, nothing. (Kali) Linux doesn't detect it at all. Tried to use it on a digital camera, says "locked card". Is there a chance of saving it or should I just trash it?

I have a few thousand .PDF files I want to convert to .DjVu - is pdf2djvu able to do recursive conversion on a directory tree? If not, what programs can?

What kind of wireless network card should you use?

USB or PCIe?

My computer will be around 36' away from the router.

Was looking at something like this:

or USB:

my 8320 sits around 19c. Should I over clock it to the 4.2?

New thread please.

Why doesn't /g/ like javascript?

Is there a substitute that match the functionality of it?

>>52437025
Are you sure linux isn't detecting it? It might just not be able to mount it.

Does it show up in /var/logs/messages, fdisk -l, lsusb, or blkid?
If any of those detect it, you should be able to manually mount it. Then you just reformat it and it should be good.

>>52437025
I had similar issue.
Asked around on /g/ told me the card is dead and move along.
As a last resort I put it in my phone "NOKIA", and was able to format it, and it worked like charm.

I just bought 2 new case fans but when I installed them all they do is light up and don't spin. Whenever I manually spin them the light dims on them.

Plan on using an old mobo+cpu as a NAS. The motherboard has 2 sata connectors and I have a 2-port sata card. I can get another just like it, or I could get a completely different one with 4 sata ports. Can I "mix" PCI SATA controllers?

Is KB3083710 another Windows 10 bullshit update or what?

>>52436918
How could you senpai?

I bought a charger cable (micro USB, 3 meters) for my phone and the battery percentage is still going down

its fucking plugged in, charging animation on and its still going down

Do I just return it

>>52437302
What are you charging with?

>>52437315
A standard wall plug, to my S3

>>52437328
Try a different outlet, and try charging from a computer. If nothing changes then trash the cable.

>>52437279
I just told you what you wanted to hear. I'm a horrible senpai, desu.

I'm sorry, kōhai...

>>52437067
USB dongles are flaky and can have issues with packet loss.

>>52437357
I'll try that thanks
And has it got anything to do with the fact that its 3 meters long?

I had a 15cm charger once and that charged in lightning speed

New thread.

>>52437382
Probably, but if that's the problem then it's a shitty cable to start with. If all else fails, turn the phone off and charge for a bit to see if that helps.
