Is there a way I can batch download an entire board of pinterest images? (on windows)

From last thread
>>52650326

Does an ATX-SATA cable exist, or do I need to get an ATX-Molex, then connect a Molex-SATA to that?

I'd rather avoid cable clutter, but it seems a one-cable solution doesn't exist.

can someone please try Jdownloader 2?

It is supposed to work with pinterest but it doesn't find any files when I try it, and I think it might be my pc blocking the connection.

I want to download for example:

I've been profesionally a Sharepoint developer in the past 9 months, and I've learned alot about the platform and what-not. Altough I feel like I don't know enough, does anyone work with Sharepoint and can recommend some resources?

It's a great platform for CMS and everything but some corners of it are literarlly shit, for example most of their oob design is with tables. I just want to get good at it.

Is there any way to stream audio and video files via the command line?

I've used ftpfs and sshfs in the past and the performance isn't really consistent for me. The fusemount also crashes on me often. I don't want to use kodi or similar I would prefer a lightweight solution.

how do you boot straight to os/login screen in ubuntu?

keep getting a menu (grub?) menu come up when switching on

>>52650987
It's the bootloader choosing which OS you want to use located on it's specific mount (f.e. /dev/sdaX).
You need it though. What you can do is shorten it's apparition at boottime to a minimum. Or you can use a splashscreen as a cosmetic solution. Up to you.

I applied clipper oil to a GPU fan yesterday, and now it's actually noisier/grindier than it was before. Not sure what I did wrong, but in hindsight, I don't think the fan needed lubricant anyway. It was just running at an unecessarily high speed due to poorly applied thermal paste. Is there anything I can do to fix it now?

Is it bad if I don't shutdown my PC, and let it every night go to hybrid sleep itself? Will it not stress PSU or something? Thanks for answers in advance

Been getting LITERALLY constant ping (as in, at a constant interval). It gets better sometimes, but this happens too often and it's fucking over my games.

Things I've ruled out as possible causes:

- Router, the ISP, local bnet in general (line works flawlessly on other computers)
- The servers themselves (again, the other computer is pinging to the same server)
- Wireless card issues (tested it with an external wireless card, works just as bad)

So the last thing I'm thinking is I might have installed something fucky, or my hardware is just dying in general (not just the WLAN card). Problem is, I don't remember what I installed, and my last backup was 6 months ago.

Should I do shit like go into safe mode and stuff to confirm if it's actually a hardware issue? Got any other analytical solutions I can take?

I live in Eastern Europe, where torrenting is very loosely handled, and you can torrent any amount of copyrighted data without any consequences. However, I am currently staying in France for 2 weeks, and was wondering if I could get into trouble/any warnings for downloading shit like h-games and other obscure stuff. I don't really want to risk a fine or something (if those are even given for torrenting), since I'm staying at my relatives and am using their internet. Any tips/advice?

>>52651200
hybrid sleep decreases your hdd/ssd life time
for other parts it doesn't really matter if they run or not as long as they stay low temperature and aren't being overvolted

>>52651301
it's your wlan card
you need a modified driver that allows you to disable background scan

I can't figure out why are they 50$ difference between they two. I check other sites and do the same shit, why?

>>52651358
I tried it with one of those USB wireless dongles. Had to install a different driver and shit. It still gave me the shit pings.

You think maybe I should try reinstalling my primary wlan card driver?

I guess I should also preface that this problem only popped up about 2 weeks ago. Was fine previously.

Since updating to Windows 10 my laptop doesn't go into sleep when I shut the lid, the power doesn't turn off when I try to shut it down, and the Bluetooth doesn't work.

Btw, I ran the the laptop on safe mode + networking. Getting CLEAN ass pings.
Just a list of things I've (probably) done over the past 2 weeks are:

- Updated windows (might consider looking into uninstalling certain updates)
- Updated some graphic drivers
- Installed some chinese Baidu thing to download stuff, but already removed most of them

>>52651950
Are you serious? The memory cards cost a lot and It seems to me that the screen wouldn't be big enough to really read comics.

>>52652287

>>52652309
I should probably have mentioned that I don't have any kind of network acces for my commute.

>>52651937
I suggest you splurge on a 2nd hand 3ds + gateway flash cart.

Basically it's 3ds + free games. A SHITLOAD of good rpgs are on the 3ds, and you can also install homebrew to run book readers and shit.

Not that you would want to, since you will be playing etrian odyssey and shin megami tensei all day.

>>52652002
no

Sometimes when I'm torrenting, regardless of the speed I'm torrenting at, my network almost shuts down except for the torrent, any non-torrent connections are unuseable, browser pages don't resolve. But then sometimes it's fine. Like right now I'm downloading Solidworks at 1Mb/s, the speed my network connection tops out at, and everything's fine, I can browse as if no torrent were running at all.

What's up with that?

>>52652423
might be DNS, try using another DNS.

might also be cheap router

My gaymen PC often boots too slow, then there are significant slowdowns and freezes, no matter what I'm doing. Sometimes the browser or video player randomly become unresponsive for about a minute then everything is back to normal.

I diagnosed my RAM and HDD's and they look clean. What else should I do?

HAHAH NEVER MIND FRIENDS

Apparently, going into safe mode + networking, and then restarting again, fixed it.

So I guess that should be a lesson for anyone with this "constant interval ping" problem. Go into safe mode + networking, and restart.

I'm trying to install Windows 10 (le botnet meme, i know XDDD).
In BIOS there are two entries of my USB drive with win10 on it: the regular one and UEFI one. Only the UEFI one is able to boot, the regular one just hangs immediately with a black screen. I need to use the regular one, though.

What do? Did I fuck up writing the image to the drive or something?

Could someone explain information entropy to me?

Assuming that there's tree alternatives (X, Y, C) and they have the following probability:
>P(“X”) = 0.8
>P(“Y”) = 0.1
>P(“Z”) = 0.1

Why should I code them with the following binaries (X as 0; why shouldn't I code it as 00 instead and keep them all double digits?)
>"X" = "0"
>"Y" = "10"
>"C" = "11"

Is it simply to save bits due to prominence?

>>52654536
Yes. You want to Tx the fewest bits possible, so you code the symbol with the highest probability with the lowest number of bits. If you look up a walkthrough of a Huffman coding tree it should become pretty apparent.

No responsible site would give you the hash for someone's account, even if you appear to own it: the hash is not normally available even to support staff.

When a website doesn't keep those hashes secure, they "leak" out and one of those leaks is your most likely source of hashes you haven't yourself created.

Hash leaks are regularly pastedbinned on the /z/ board for 4chan gold members

I considered this option but
1. My external enclosure needs 2 USB ports and my router only has 1.
2. I don't like the idea of my ISP looking at the sit I store there.

RAM is RAM.
if you want ram advertised as 1333MHz will run at 1866MHz meanwhile your motherboard supports it.

You are just paying for the fancy colors and probably a heatsink that is somewhat useless.

TLDR: Its the same shit from all popular brands.

Is there a way to have a RAID 0 array mirroring (RAID 1) another RAID 0 array?

>>52659325
Replying to my own question:
It is called "Nested RAID" or "Hybrid RAID".
Specifically, what I was asking about was a hybrid RAID array called "RAID 01".

Why is my laptop slow? It has decent specs (for my minimal usage but still tends to be slow)

- Intel i7
- 16gb ddr3 (or 5) ram
- 2gb video card amd radeon
- 1tb hdd

Btw, I have never been able to activate my radeon graphics, it always runs on intel, how fix? (i have a toshiba)

Right now I have
>i3 370M @2.4GHz
>4GB DDR3 @1600MHz
>600GB 5400rpm HDD
Would replacing the HDD with a SSD be the best upgrade, or should I just look into getting a new computer with a faster CPU?
My computer starts crying if I have more than 8 browser tabs open while listening to music.

>>52659414
You can reuse the RAM. Overall, you should think about replacing just about everything. An i5 or i7 first gen is barely cutting it, first gen i3 just no. You're officially obsolete.

>>52659411
Maybe a low power HDD?

phone works but barely. lot of bootlooping . get a nexus 6p or try to wait it out until march for the galaxy s7? or is there a better option out now or coming soon

>>52659242
>Will I see improved fps in games?
No

My friend who upgrade from a 6300 to an 8350 saw the same performance, only lower temps

>>52659414
You won't gain anything from an ssd in terms of performance other than write speed. New motherboard and a nice i5 will do you well if you just need something to browse the internet and listen to music.

>>52659411
Look into throwing an ssd in it if possible.

Are small (20-24") hdtvs tvs good as a computer monitor? The answers I get from google are basically "A 40" 720p TV will look shitty from up close!"

Like, will the image be inherently shitty even through hdmi? I just want a 2nd screen for my meager laptop setup.

>>52659500
Yes. I'm doing it on 8.1 currently, but I'll explain it to you. Should be the same way.

Lets say you have four 1TB HDDs.

Under storage spaces in Windows you create a raid 1 span on drive 1 and 2, and another raid 1 span on drive 2 and 3.

Under diskmgmt.msc you will see two virtual drives. (The two raid 1 spans)

You right click, link them together as stripped (raid 0)

Under my computer you will see one drive. Ta da!

If a drive fails the raid 0 is unaffected, under storage spaces you will see a failed raid 1 span. You replace the drive and rebuild the raid 1.

Also note it's called raid 10 (1+0)

Anyone know if it's possible to create a bunch of shapes (rectangles) based on a size table in excel?

For ex:

Name| Length | Width
Part1 50 ft. 50 ft.
Part2 25 ft. 33 ft.
etc.

I then want these to open up as rectangles in Visio so they can be placed in a floorplan I already have created.

I've tried some VBA shit but there's literally zero resources online for Visio's VBA and it's quite different than excels.

When I put sim B into my iphone it asks for activation, it wants me to connect to the internet thru wifi or connecting to itunes via usb but the only internet i have is by using sim B.... what the absolute fuck, why does apple make it so hard to do something as simple as changing my simcard...

I'm trying to make a set of data validation tools for me to use throughout my semesters.

Right now I'm trying to make a tool that ensures text entered into a JOptionPane is a number, if not, it will ask the user again.

I want to make the tools as easy as just calling upon the method and giving the variable, abstraction and what not.

public class StringIsNumber {
    public static void isNumber(String userValue) {
    boolean isNumber = true;
    do {
        int uv;

        {
           uv = Integer.parseInt(userValue);
        }
        catch (NumberFormatException e)
        {
           JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Your input was not a number, please try again!", "ERROR", JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
           isNumber = false;
           //go back to the original JOptionPane
        }
    } while (!isNumber);

    }
}

If it's a good job they'll train you. They won't expect you to know everything on the first day. Just be nice and try to be charismatic. Even if you end up not being a good fit for that job they'll keep you on the payroll because you aren't a dickhead.

>>52659855
the whole design is wrong. the method isNumber should only return true or false, but should not handle the further process.

this while loop should be at the joptionpane place.

String input = optionpaneWhatEverInput();

while(!StringIsNumber.isNumber(input) {
         input = optionpaneWhatEverInput();
}
// go on

This is the most easiest way to do it.

I need to do a clean install of windows but I'm using a pirated version, will that cause any problems during the process?

Prices don't fluctuate significantly outside of large sale events like black Friday.
The wait meme is rarely the best option if you are already in the mindset that you need an upgrade.

what image viewer can i use that shows only picture and no border or anything

>>52660526
You are reinstalling, why would you have problems?

1.Download the ISO from MDL.
2.Install windows, skip key.
3.Once installed (I hope you have downloaded this from another PC or your phone) run 3DPN to install network drivers and the others if you want.
4.Download Daz Loader (From MDL again).
Done.

Will using a proxy help keep my ISP off my ass about torrenting? They've never bothered me so far, but better safe than sorry

>>52660775
no, get a seedbox.

>>52660790
A Seedbox is excessive for my torrenting needs, are there other alternatives?

>>52660813
a VPN, which costs almost as much as a seedbox and is useless for private trackers.

>>52660830
Can I repurpose a VPS to use as a seedbox, while keeping other services active?

>>52660855
you should be able to do so, yes.

>>52660855
Probably, make sure you read your host's ToS though.

How would one implement the logic behind personalized suggestions?
Consider this example:

>user visits website for the first time
>user is presented with a selection of random objects
>user likes/dislikes objects
>these likes/dislikes affect which objects are presented in the future
>after a while user is hopefully presented only with objects he likes

How should the likes/dislikes be stored in a db?
Any insight is appreciated.

My computer is like 5 years old and the fan is getting quite loud, I'll upload a vocaroo if you want one to hear it.
I want to open it and find where the problem incoming from to try and fix it.
If a part needs replacing, wouldn't be better for me to buy a larger computer case or is a slim tower not really an issue in regards to PC parts.

Good iTunes alternative on Windows that looks decent with no modding required and has a good EQ?

>>52660830
Also, if I decide to use a VPN, is there a way to route just the torrent-client traffic through it?

>>52660935
you just need better fans

>>52661125
Most likely.
It spikes up to this. Currently 31 degrees outside, but usually like 40 degrees at the moment, so it's very hot.

pls explain, I don't understand computers very well, honestly.

I downloaded a windows 7 iso.

I tried to throw it on a USB with unetbootin but shit didn't work.

How the fuck do I install this shti

>>52661267
your fans are worn out, or at least one of them is

So I haven't upgraded my router in around 8 - 9 years I believe, and I'm a fucking idiot when it comes to this networking stuff.
What's a good router for an idiot?

>>52661286
Thanks. I'll open the case and take some pictures to show someone who knows computers so I know what to replace them with.

So I've set the Chrome Dev tools to disable the cache when the toolbox is open but I still don't get the same elements loaded upon a second visit to the page so clearly the cache still does its thing. Any suggestions?

>>52660949
depends what you mean by itunes. If you want just the music playing part then maybe Clementine would suit your needs. If you need the other 50 botnet things that itunes does for some reason then you're out of luck.

say i hook up a ubiquiti 900MHz base station to an arduino set up with a pre paid 3g/4g sim card, would i be able to configure the two or no because it's not wifi?

>>52661271
IIRC microsoft provides a tool for burning isos to USBs, but I've never gone wrong with Win32 Disk Imager

>>52661490
You know a tool for linux or am I gonna have to use Wine?

>>52661499
unetbootin is cancer

just use dd

How do I use QObject::sender() in Java / Qt Jambi?

http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qobject.html#sender
http://qtjambi.org/ this shit has no docs

>>52661499
you're on linux? then you should just be able to use dd and write it to the USB like any other ISO.

whenever i play rfactor2 and make a loud crashing noise, i get a buzzing sound that doesn't go away after exiting the game. i only have one sound driver running so it couldn't be a conflict. what gives?

I'm running a pair of JBL LSR305 studio monitor speakers for a PC and laptop setup.

Should I use a 3.5mm jack to two XLR cable or is a 3.5mm to two RCA cable better quality?

when i see screenshots of linux desktops (arch in particular) it's generally included with a console with the arch logo in ASCII art and a bunch of soft/hardware information

which command/program are htey using?

I bought a smart TV

Late at night if I leave it on standby the power light flashes on and off and it makes a whining noise. If I turn it off and on again, it stops whining and the light doesn't flash.

Why does this happen?

>>52661873
usually either screenfetch or archey. It'll spit out your distro's logo, some info, and take a screenshot of the whole thing.

>>52661873
screenfetch

>>52661873
screenfetch

thank you.

I have 3 drives in my computer. I have an SSD for Windows and a Mechanical drive for storage. I also have a drive that I'd like to put Kubuntu on, but I can't seem to get it to boot at all. I think that this is coming from the fact that the bootloader get's confused when I say that I don't want to partition the drive and grub doesn't get installed correctly. Any ideas?

My modem has a wifi of like 10 mbs
I got this little tiny wifi antenna that came with my computer and I only get like 2 mbs. If I get a "better" one would it make my wifi faster. Also what the hell do you call those things.

If I switch mobos, will a Raid 0 array need to be formatted for the raid controller on the new mobo to recognize the drives?

I'm moding an old fat ps2 I have everything I need except for the hard drive, I need an IDE hard drive but on ebay most say IDE/PATA is that the same thing?
pic related is the network adapter that it will be plugged in to

>>52661872
bump, leaving for the store soon

I don't remember it's name but there was this program I think for the old windows xp, it had a pink palette layout and you could choose a type of voice and type a text and it would read it.

Hope some one know the name of the program.

How is steam notification for new comments (the little letter icon top right) supposed to work?
>letter icon is green
>something new
>click it
>there is new comment
>click to see it
>link evaporates
>wtf

>>52662146
basically yes
it usually is in the modern sense anyway, but sometimes the ps2 or the loaders just reject shit
http://ps2drives.x-pec.com/?p=list is good if you're like me and really didn't want to buy something incompatible
if you're more adventurous then good luck, but as long as the ports match up it isn't an issue of what it's called
it was renamed later on or something I guess

>>52662047

Drivers updated and now Windows 10 is telling me I can eject my GPU. Anyone know what the fuck this means?

Do I need to flash my GPU's BIOS or something to use in PAL regions?

If I'm a relatively new programmer what should I put on my git hub to show I know what I'm doing?

>>52662146
also as long as you're shopping, just so you know, I bought a 250 GB drive back when I did mine, and it fit a little over 80 games
you probably know what size you need already and prices are probably much better now, but 250GB wasn't enough at all if you ask me, I couldn't even get all the GOOD exclusives on it

I've got a cheap 42" lcd. I get a lot of artifacts where the edges between dark and light regions will linger. Is there a name for this? Can I fix it with picture setting tweaks or am I just stuck with it until I can afford a better display?

>>52662605
Try it and we'll find out together ;)))

>>52662721
I actually tried it, my screen went black for 10-15 seconds then turned back on. I reset my computer and nothing changed. I assume it's just Nvidia breaking something again.

USB 3.0 ports not working. they are plugged into the motherboard correctly and worked perfectly before I swapped cases

How do I get rid of tearing on linux? AFAICT everything's set up right in xorg.conf. I've got a GTX 970 running 352 drivers running Manjaro. Here's my xorg.conf:

Not sure if related, setting CoolBits to 12 or any value is doing absolutely nothing, either.

I'm no longer on an Apple computer, I was just curious what do you guys use to play your music? I'm assuming it isn't iTunes.

I need webms to show thumbnails on Windows Explorer, what are my options?

Currently bouncing around a bit. At the moment I'm using mpd and gmpc.

What are you on now? On Windows, MusicBee is pretty fantastic. It even has a built-in audiobook and podcast manager.

>>52663410

yeah i'm on windows 8.1

>>52663963
In that case, I've heard some pretty okay things about Clementine.

>>52663963
I'd recommend trying a couple out. As I mentioned, I like MusicBee, but Foobar2000 will never be beat in terms of customization. Clementine is also alright. Just download them all and see which one you prefer.
