Is there anything that lets you easily make charts like this, like a website? I know there is a 3x3 maker and that kind of thing would be about perfect if it also let you add text

I know this isn't the most elaborate thing to do yourself manually but resizing pictures, aligning the descriptions and whatnot are kind of a pain.

>TL;DR
earbud extension cable that gives control

------
I am used to EP-630 earbuds
but they dont have control on the wire

it was fine when I used mostly my Sansa Clip
but I would like to start using my phone

I got xiaomi pistons, and they sound fine and got the control but they dont hold well in my earcannal and the control is way up high for my taste

I would like some short "extension cable" that has control on it, so I could put it in between phone and earbuds and control next song and shit..

does it exists?

Running into a cron (Unix/Terminal scheduler program) problem:

I have this file: access_politics.py, and in it, I import several libraries I've installed.

When I do

I get the following error message:

  File "/Users/anonymous/Desktop/python_project/access_politics.py", line 1, in <module>

I talked to a friend and he said it may be because cron is running as sudo... How can I fix this?

So I am looking to overclock my CPU

I have the Gigabyte UDR3 mobo with a i7 975 running a stock 980x cooler

Stock CPU speed is 3.33GHz, my goal for now is to hit stable 3.60GHz speeds.
Is that something I can do on a stock cooler?

So what do I do exactly. So far the only consistent information I found was:
-Leave CPU clock ratio as is
-Raise the Base Clock Frequency to desired number
-Set the Uncore ratio to half of the QPI on Auto
-Keep RAM stock, or downclock
-No info on voltage increase

Is that it? Do I just play around with these numbers until I can run stable?

which (crossplatform) torrent client can be prevented from having any contact with any tracker whatsoever?

>>58635893

My dad wants to buy a computer. He has used an older iMac (think it is a 2009), it had all the bells and whistles. He loved the larger screen and simple design as he hates wires, and believed Mac's can't get viruses a major factor in his decision (I think I fixed that part).

Anyway his cryptic descriptions of his needs have given me little to work with. He strongly gravitates to Apple, but says his core use is Microsoft Excel and YouTube. He has recently mentioned he want to take it camping with him and has been asking questions regarding the Mac Book Air.

I have already done a little research and have my own ideas
(thinking https://lenovo.brandleap.com/resellers?upc=190793179158&showImage=True&showUpc=True&showDesc=True&showRatings=True )
but would like some other opinions on this matter as I have become a little detached on these things. Given I over customize my Debian to the point only I can use it. made it work on a computer I made from free 15 year old parts that does what I need better then my new office computer. And I wonder why my boss insist we buy new junk every cycle and call my master piece junk.

ok. what teh fuck is happening.

I listen to Pandora on my desktop, and for that reason alone I have flash. I only have it load on that webpage.

I just went to my laptop that doenst have flash installed, and opened pandora, and it went to a modern flash-less version of it.

So I uninstalled flash from my desktop, and going to pandora gives me a warning saying it needs flash.

guys, isn't using an encryption combo unbreakable by definition?
here's a simple example: two shift ciphers, one will do +1, the other one -2
i take the word "faggot" and apply 1st one: "gbhhpu" and then use 2nd one on it and get: "dzeens"
now how is anyone who tries to break it, and actually knows how to break the first layer, supposed to know when he broke it? how the hell he's able to tell if, out of all possible combinations, "gbhhpu" is the right one?

>>58636350
it was the cookie pandora set for me when I used their html5 player.

so, if its not a cookie problem then its probably a configuration problem (MSE / h264 / html5).

but before we go into that, after you removed flash you restarted firefox right?

if so, then go to about:config and search for "media.mediasource.enabled" it should be "true"

>>58636134
But the iMac has been having a host of problems running Yosemite, and the Core2Due chip is under officially no loner supported architecture list on Apple's web page, also he has been having many Excel compatibles issues.

So at minimum needs a new chip set and better Microsoft compatibility. Figure pay more and get a kaby lake, given the troubling treads with software lock outs.

Also given how old the chip set is the docking screen feature is not directly supported, (apple is jerks about things) thought I think I could figure out how to make it work. But he really needs a plug and play. Poor man couldn't figure out how the TV remote worked*

Could you tell me more about this "docking station", I normally just solder and find alternative drivers for whatever I use. But this sound much easier, as money is not the biggest issue, but it still an issue so it needs to make sense.


*I finally got peace last year when I customized a Logitec Harmony Elite to be idiot proof, he only manged to break it once so I added another line of code for that case and nobody has messed it up since. I very proud of that given it has survived him and a number of small children, wish I had just bought it years ago but thing cost a lot when your underemployed.

>>58636432
yeah, it set to true.

I restarted firefox, but not my PC.
mediasource is set to true.

in the past I set flash to ask if it should be run on every page. maybe it has some left overs somewhere. gonna nuke any remaining folders in local settings.

Is it a common practice to buy an item on eBay, and resell the same item for the same price when you are done with the item?

I have a technical problem with my computer monitor and need to purchase a component to
fix the issue, but there is a chance the item might not repair the problem. It costs $200. If I resell it for $200 or a bit more to cover my cost, is the ethical, allowed, or are there any unseen problems with that?

Why don't more people do this? Buying a fun expensive item and just reselling it later on. Basically getting stuff for free.

Dependence is different for everyone. Some people are almost immediately susceptible to some substances. It's unlikely that you would become strongly addicted if it did stay that occasional. What would probably end up happening is that you would start slowly making minor exceptions to your rules until you started taking them more frequently and then eventually became dependent.

Because you almost never get as much as you put into it in the first place, especially with electronics. Plus there's sellers fees and shipping. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just most things don't flip well. The exception is getting something from a thrift shop/yardsale/craigslist/overseas and selling it on an online market with more demand.

On my laptop whenever I do full system images on an external drives the main drive gets a bit hot, 52c and the palmrest feels a bit warm, I dont like them running hot so I put a small aluminium block on the palmrest to act as heatsink/thermal mass, it does the job and the drive cools about 5c in 6 minutes and it could cool more if I left it there but im concerned about condensation from quick temperature changes.

Question is, is this temperature change fast enough to cause condensation inside the drive or anything like that? Ive seen drives spec sheets and some mention 20c/hr or 30c/hr temperature gradients.

>>58637060

Since it needs to be online 24/7, I thought about getting a Android TV box, connect via ethernet, and just let it run in the corner.

What to subclasses inherit from superclasses in Java?

"An instance of a subclass stores all the instance variables
of the superclass (even private ones), plus all the
instance variables defined in the subclass.
Be careful though, private instance variables of the
superclass are NOT INHERITED"

This literally seems to contradict itself directly.

I bought an ASUS VZ279H, and it turns out there's no headphone jack, only a 3.5mm audio-in port

Is C / C++ a retarded choice that will take me 5 years just to get a frame out? Or about equally difficult as python?

I ask because I used a little C++ before, and want to learn C (C++ if its not possible in C).

If its as hard as I'm imagining and its just a case of importing a python library I'll learn python I guess.

>>58638200
You wouldn't. Some people like Arch because it makes them feel productive/accomplished without putting in the effort of actually doing anything. They otherwise have little use for their computer which for them is not a means but rather an end unto itself.

And then there's some who just like the idea of a rolling bleeding edge system but may not be fully aware of the practicalities of it.

Try scrollmap (I haven't fiddled with its settings so I don't know if it'll completely suit your needs)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/scrollmap/

There was an extension once called Scroll Progress but its author removed it from the add-on library, probably because he didn't want to keep up with changes in the browser.

If you know anything about extension development you can look up the author's github repo for it and try to work backwards from there...

Is it normal to see "flickering" when you move from a 165 Hz monitor back to your 60 Hz one?
The only time I noticed that effect on the old monitor before was with large uniform gray spaces on the screen, but after using the 165 Hz for a while, I now see a noticeable flicker on most larger spaces with uniform colors (unless they're really bright) on the 60 Hz.
It's not a shit screen either.

I've been looking for a +-200 euro laptop to take to classes, just for regular old note taking and faffing about during breaks.

At this pricepoint, it seems to me I'm basically stuck to low end chromebooks when buying new, or secondhand business laptops from ebay. There's quite a few latitudes/elitebooks here locally and they look nice enough on the listings, but I've never handled one in person. Would something like a latitude 6230 still be able to perform today? I just don't really know what the processor (i5-3340m) can handle and if the 1366X768 will make me want to kill myself or not. Ideally it could handle 720p movies and emulation up to PS1. If it can handle that I'm sure it can handle everything else I'll throw at it.

So my question is: Ebay secondhand business laptop, chromebook or something else I'm not aware of for around 200 euro?

Those two probably aren't related. Maybe you just notice when you are on IRC?

Is your router using the ISP DNS servers? If you might try Google DNS or OpenDNS. Your router could also just be crappy. Installing one of the open firmwares might help if they support your router. If not, installing the latest firmware from the manufacturer might help if it is due to a bug.

I'm rocking the same CPU and RAM m8 (i got a Radeon HD 6450 so I didn't get raped by broken packages)

I had Gentoo installed on my computer and it did run pretty fast. I think that had a lot to do with all of the processor extensions AMD has, and the fact that everything is compiled with optimizations is good.

If you don't plan on gaming or running anything proprietary, I would actually opt for Gentoo now that I think about it, just because you can get around 99% of the tweaking by using default settings and still net a pretty large speed gain.

Also, do you have yours overclocked to 4.1GHz?

>>58635709
will a shortcut work as a regular file in terms of installing a distro or an os system because for some odd reason windows wont find the original file i only have the shortcut

>>58641820
Shame I can't go buy a new AMD right now, so I gotta deal with Nvidia issues. As if this card didn't already give me enough.

I do kind of want to try some games on Linux, to see how things might compare to Windows versions. Might determine how often I'm on the Linux distro. So Gentoo might not be for for if it's not too great for that.

I don't have mine overclocked. A little scared of that, and it still uses the base heatsink. Did you buy an aftermarket one or what?

>>58641986
I got a stable 4.1GHz on the stock cooler. 4.1GHz is the "turbo" speed that they all should be able to go up to without a voltage increase.

Gentoo can work with proprietary games and WINE, but (especially with games) it becomes exponentially difficult. However, if you get Steam to work, you can use their entire Linux library pretty much pain free.

>>58636631
Try drinking yourself to sleep instead. Alcoholism is a healthier and more respectable addiction than benzos.

ok i kind of got a problem /g/ im trying to make a hackintosh and for some odd reason the file converted into a iso not a dmg file, so /g/ what do i do now.

Is there a point to encrypting my android phone if I already lock my phone? Running lollipop, if that matters.

It seems to me that thieves can't simply plug a micro USB into my phone and access the data if I have it locked, regardless of whether it is encrypted or not. If that's the case, then isn't encryption a waste of time for android phones? Or is there a possibility that thieves can extract the data through other means?

>>58642036
Is there a way I can just "enable" that? How high does your cpu go when it reaches 4.1ghz?

I guess I'll look more into Gentoo. But I think I might need something I can just install and go. Gonna be doing school work on it as well. How long would Gentoo take to install?
Maybe I can just install that Steam OS on another partition.

>>58642117
by convert i mean i extracted a rar file and it turned into an iso

>>58642133
On your computer, you should have it done in three hours. 99% of that time is just compiling stuff (make sure to add -O2 -march=native to CFLAGS and -j7 to MAKEFLAGS).

I don't have it on there anymore because the fan is so loud, but I think at idle it was at around 50s, and at full use it was at 68C

>>58636736
>If I resell it for $200 or a bit more to cover my cost, is the ethical

Of course it's ethical to buy low and sell high. Capitalism is ethical. You probably won't actually make a profit, but if you do, it's because you're providing liquidity to the market, which it is happy to pay for.

Any idea why I can't delete or extend the volume on this drive? I just want to add the free space to the partition, making it a 15gb one instead of two separate ones. I've confirmed in command prompt that the partition is inactive. It's a usb flash drive btw.

Have you tried deleting the extended partition first?

>>58642154

Pretty much on what mine sits on now. Maybe I'll see about boosting it to 4.1ghz.

>>58642161
The space needs to be unallocated first.

>>58642199
You just leave it there. All of the dependencies and stuff are taken care of by the package manager (portage).

Does anyone know of any free shared web hosting accounts that give you ssh login to a bash shell?

I've noticed that most of the big free-hosting sites (like 000webhost) seem to offer ftp only. I'm using 000webhost now and I like it -- but I'm keeping an eye on upgrading to one that supports ssh.

Google isn't helping because I keep finding ones that claim to have ssh, but then they don't actually have it.

What do you believe you would gain by putting Wine in the kernel? Consider that these goals are achievable by modifying userspace software instead.

Wine uses X11, so if you put Wine in the kernel, you would also have to put X in the kernel, and all of its other dependencies. You'd end up with all of Windows in the kernel, which not even Windows does. If any of it crashes it takes down the whole system. We worked for decades to move away from systems like that and get as much as possible into userspace.

Gentoo and Arch both have the greatest wikis for this sort of stuff too. Worst case scenario (probably) is that it falls back to a VESA frame buffer and LLVMpipe (insanely slow 3D, but OpenGL 3.3)

I host my site on a VM at http://edis.at/ but that might be too hard for someone with no knowledge. No you don't need to host at the same place you registered. Sometimes (but not always) it makes it easier to do it that way, if so you can transfer the domain. However note that transferring the domain means you have to pay for renewal early.

Ok /g/ I'm officially leaving the world of high-end smartphones behind in favor of a laptop. ive never owned one before and I'm not looking for anything fancy. I'm just at a point where I'd prefer to just carry around a beater phone for calls and text and have a laptop to replace my current phone for web browsing.

I'm looking for something cheap and portable. I was a big fan on the Samsung note line of phones and basically looking for something to replace that with. I liked the s-pen to doodle and it was very handy for editing photos/making memes with so bonus points if you can recommend me something that has some sort of stylus support. I would get a Samsung tablet with s-pen but a part of me also really wants a physical keyboard.

I'm also looking for something to replace my current phone with. Again, something cheap and SMALL. I also want something that's capable sharing a 4g connection with whatever laptop/pocket book I get.

I have their "KVM Smart" for €5/mo. I got VNC access to a server with no operating system installed on it. I installed FreeBSD and configured sendmail, nginx, dovecot, spamd, sshguard, unbound, etc. It was several hours of work but I have full control over the server so I was able to set it up exactly how I want.

I see they have shared hosting ("Smart Hosting") for €1/mo, that would be easier to use and cheaper. Still difficult for someone with no knowledge though.

You'll need to setup DNS service too. Name service != name registration. Not sure if Edis does that. I use Hurricane Electric, they're pretty good.

If I go to like walmart or bestbuy, would they give me issue about not wanting a service?

Windows 7 support is flaky, although they did pull through and finally support it wirelessly with the dongle. In any case you're better off with some kind of wireless keyboard solution, like the logitech K400. I can't think of a use case where the chat pad is a better use of your money.
