The thread that I created got majorly ignored, so I assume I asked a really stupid question. Here is the stupid question:

What websites do you all use for programming? I know about:

stackoverflow
quora
github (bitbucket)
reddit
leetcode
ycombinator
hackerrank
projecteuler

Any other resources? Is /g/ the best board for programming or is there a better one? Is old school irc the best way to go?

how do i get my chrome tab/window history from another computer that has recently deceased? i am signed into the same account on both, and my bookmarks and search suggestions got imported

>>58656494
I need a wireless gaymen mouse, but don't know what it's called. Just the kind with configurable buttons on the side, and one that'll work with linux, it doesn't need high sensitivity. If no recommendations, what is that kind of mouse called?

I have switched to Opera after getting fed up with junky stuff in Firefox (slow) and Chrome (resource hog).

I have been loving it. Opera and Opera Mini come with built in ad blockers.

So I went to Titanium backup and pressed un-install on all these crap apps. Then when I go to the play store it asks me to update all those apps

>>58656560

FF has a multi threading option last time I checked. May just be for images tho.

You pair the device via google. Should pull up the history. If not theirs the takeout option.

wtf? how do I remove this shit. I checked the settings and didn't find anything

>>58656667
i can't pair the device as it is dead. i did do the takeout thing though, but i have no idea what a .json is.

how much technology do i need to buy to make her love me again

So, my dad's been using the same old desktop for years, and it finally broke down. It was a prebuilt that came with Windows XP. The most demanding thing he does is browse facebook, and watch 1080p youtube videos. I've only built overkill gaming rigs, so I'm not really sure what the minimum you need for 1080p video is.

What prebuilt desktop should I get for him? He doesn't want me building one.

>>58656799
>Uninstall "Geforce Experience"
but I like being able to click one button to update my graphic drivers after my alienware laptop giving me drivers ptsd

>>58656560
"Side buttons" is the term AFAIK. Or "mouse4 and mouse5"

I got the Kensington Pro Fit mouse
>seems Xbox Hueg at first but is actually comfy to use
>side buttons
>DPI change button
>wired


Remember, "configurable" just means that the manufacturer released their own mouse keybind software.

This software is usually
>locked to their mice
>Windows-only
Which means that some of the mouse's "functionality" is locked behind software.

Whats a really small mini itx case that can fit a full size GPU?

I'm looking for a laptop for school (word, excel, nothing fancy) and general shitposting/weeb cartoons for 250 euro or less. I'm debating whether some secondhand business notebook from eBay would be good enough, or if I should look at a more recent budget consumer laptop. Those elite books and latitudes look pretty good, but I've read that the screens are horrid and the battery will probably be nearly dead, so that's holding me back a bit.

I tried running import Database.Datalog and that won't work.

Cool. Any good communities to discuss programming projects and techniques?

I'm at passwords.google and just realised that my chrome extensions are doing their stuff there, like if it was any other website.

Should I be concerned that an extension could steal passwords from there? It's https and I don't have shady extensions but it's still rather worrying.

I don't know the details about the permissions surrounding Chrome plugins.

I have been tooold that hackers/spammers/marketers target plugins. They buy up popular plugins and then insert malicious code.

So, I would be careful about which plugins you choose to install.

p much anything should do probably
maybe show him this article:

but I mean even a Pentium 4 can software-decode 720p Hi10 video without much problems, anything on the market today except notebook stuff ought to be able to software-decode 1080p H.264

See if you can find something with an A10 APU in it?

Anyone here have any experience with the Asus VX239H? I purchased one recently since the reviews were mostly positive, but I can't seem to get the colours/brightness to the right setting, my shitty 15 inch laptop screen looks better in comparison. I've calibrated it countless times but it just never seems right, either too dark, too washed out or the colours are off.

Is it possible my one is defective? Or is this just what I get for spending under $500 for an IPS?

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

>>58656813
I wouldn't know the exact minimum. But really almost anything would work. My pc is 6 or more years old and it can play 1080p. And it was far from bleeding-edge when bought.
Even shitty laptops can do it now; hardware gets cheaper and I'd say virtually all integrated vidyacards are good enough for that.
I'd try to advise him tho that building one has got heavier advantages. It's generally cheaper, it feels gut, it's easier to replace its things, and you can hit on the exact amount of resources you're aiming for. Prebuilt ones will swing about the minimum you want more pronouncedly.

>>58657661

I doubt ublock would do something like that, but I guess anything is possible.

Before I install plugins, I usually read through the comments and Google their reputation. After installing, sometimes I also look at web traffic using the developer console to see if they are sending extra requests. If everything looks good, I feel safe enough to use the plugin.


I did a quick Google search on ublock. It looks like there was a fake one. Make sure you didn't accidentally install that,

I don't know shit all about monitors or screen calibration, but I got a new Ultrabook that's touchscreen which is pretty high end.
The thing is, while it looks fantastic for media, when I put it next to my old Laptop which doesn't have a touchscreen there's a distinct yellow-ish tint on pages such as Google which have a white background.

I think I've had this same issue with a previous touchscreen machine, is this just how they are? It looks great for most things but the whites just seem off.

I've reduced the red and green in Windows calibration and that has made it better, but I'm playing with settings I don't understand so don't know if what I've done is really even a good idea

Any ideas?

>>58657940

Because moar fans must be good right? I suppose it could help cool the mobo voltage regulation circuitry, which can be an issue.

It's a mix of water, glycol or other anti freezing/boiling fluid, some kind of corrosion inhibitor.

>>58658129
Most likely it's your old laptop that's set to be way too blue. If you want perfect calibration, get a colorimeter.

What's the best bowser?

This guy gets it.

I was also wondering how in the blazes to hook up my old Dell 5.1 system to my z170 mobo because some of the plugs do not match up to my motherboard (no soundcard)

I'm not sure what the old plugs were but I think one changed from a yellow to orange, likely the sub one.
So from what I can see the inputs are black, yellow, and light green; while my mobo's inputs are black, orange, light green and blue/pink for mic stuff.
Pic related, pretty much what I've got

>>58658240
Maybe your new screen whatever has the blue light set too low, my monitor has a quick adjust feature to lessen the amount.

So I just came back from the store after buying replacements for the wacom stylus and mini USB cord that I lost on a field trip recently.

The cord works fine but the stylus isn't working for shit?

I specifically asked the guy if it would work with the old Intuos Pen Small because the original was grey and black and this is all black but he said he was sure it would?

Did I seriously just fucking blew 35 bucks because I'm an ignorant cunt?

>>58658282
I'm assuming reducing the red and green basically gives the same effect as boosting the blue light, is it a good idea? While it looks better to my eyes when it comes to whites, I'm not sure the changes are beneficial everywhere and there's a visible flicker on the screen whenever I highlight something after recalibrating it in Windows

So I bought a qisan magicforce recently with gateron brown switches. The typing experience is amazing. However in games, if I hold down WASD, the keys don't register properly and my character will move and stop continuously. Is this normal? What should I do?

>>58658481
Really couldn't tell you. My eyes were once bloodshot from playing Talos Principle for 12 hours in one day, not sure if that was from blue light, but I've noticed the blue light kinda hurts during the night gaming sessions, I switch it down a notch to level 1. Thanks based ASUS

I have an iphone 4. Some recent (maybe last couple months? Idk) time, my phone completely removed my voicemail setup. I cannot re-setup my voicemail because no matter what, it tells me "Voicemail could not retrieve access" (or something similar) and then hangs at "Setting up voicemail".

Had this phone for a few years with no trouble. What gives and how can I fix this?

Any recommendations on dual-SIM Android phones? It seems every one I run across is cheap chinese crap and all good phones are single-SIM only. Much preferable if it's easy to root as well.

Had to downgrade from Linux to Windows because Manjaro isn't using the graphics card for window management, overloading the CPU on my 4K monitor.

I really want to go back though, but I'm tired of reinstalling every time I fuck up (I'm not the most computer-literate guy in the world.)

Should I try installing the Zen kernel or wait for the nvidia driver devs and/or XFCE devs to get their shit together?

>>58658812
I know but I'm not sure how soon I should look for one before I'm taking an unnecessary chance. (Poorfag reporting).

My dickcunt ISP is too stupid to let my moron shitface housemate ask why the internet sucks dick without entirely adding him to the account, so now he's got access to the email I've been using with my fucking Twitter and shit on it. Yeah, I'm a retard for using an ISP email.

So who the fuck am I supposed to use? Gmail is evil, Microsoft is retarded, and everyone else is too small to guarantee they won't go away in two years.

Your bank account will look much better if you stop copping pointless shit, in the end that'll make you feel much more comfortable.

>>58658828
>I'm tired of reinstalling every time I fuck up
Install arch instead of manjaro, by installing it manually you will learn how shit works and therefore you will know how to fix it without reinstalling
>I'm not the most computer-literate guy in the world

>Should I try installing the Zen kernel
Don't know what it has to do with anything, does it use GPU for windows? Anyway if not I would recommend linux-ck, pretty sure it's better than zen
>xfce
look for a window manager which is able to use GPU (you propably need some compositing one), you can use different WMs with xfce or just ditch all together

If you back it up you're not taking any chances. We can't tell you how soon it's going to fail, that's not how it works. Those numbers just tell you the odds have gone way up, and you could be losing data here and there even if the drive itself doesn't go under.

Anyone with Cisco switching and routing exp help with a question I have?

Lets say I set up an extended ACL with the properties: "deny ip 172.168.5.0 0.0.0.255 host 192.168.1.15"

And I put that on the interface G0/1 which the 172.168.5.0 network is connected to. If I have a VLAN (let's say the 172.168.20.0 network) attached to the subinterface G0/1.20, will the ACL I placed on the G0/1 interface prevent the VLAN network/hosts on the subinterface from communicating with the host denied in the ACL?

My condolences, no clue really other than I've heard there are other ways to open the windows iso and 'slipstream' the needed drivers and other essential programs into the installer itself.
I hope that's a guess in the right direction at least. I had spend almost a whole day fighting with mine until I remembered the shit from my other post, using the mobo utility for the needed drivers.

>>58658927
>>58658920
If you just use your SSD for boot/OS, I'd recommend a fresh install. Move anything not OS related to your storage drive and install clean. thta way you won't have any trouble with missing/wrong drivers.

A clean install of Windows doesn't take very long for an SSD these days

>>58658962
The other three are displayport. If you plug your monitor into your motherboard, you will be completely bypassing your GPU (which is dumb for games.)

You should just cough up the $10 to get the DVI cable. I run dual monitors with HDMI/DVI and have no trouble

>>58658962
You don't want to do that. Just get a cheap passive adapter for what you want. Dvi and Displayport can both be adapted to HDMI easily

I'm about to copy a bunch of files from my (possibly) dying Windows C: drive to an external hdd through Linux. Should I cut or copy everything? I'd like to keep the original date saved/modified/etc if possible.

>>58659346
I'd do it in small chunks, so if something messes up you know roughly where you left off

Alright, thanks. here goes nothing.

I want a way to get around Respondus browser lock. I just have no idea how.

>>58659392
Long click? I have never heard of this
You can also hit F2 to rename. On my W7 with file extensions the filename is only selected, leaving the name ready to be changed without affecting the file type.

>>58659447
Give it back tyrone

>>58659392

I don't think the long part is relevant. If you click on a file that's already selected it'll change to the editing state regarded of how long the first click was or how long you waited to click again (at least on Win 10)

>>58659439
Nothing indeed. It won't let me access anything, it says I need to mount them, even though I can hear both drives spinning. How do I do this? I have no knowledge of using Linux Mint (Cinnamon) and all I've done was from help from people in this thread a few days ago.

Depends on if you're actually going to use it. The dual channel effect alone isn't massive, but it's nice. 16gb is comfy, but people do get by on 8 a lot. Those aren't the actual prices you're paying right? At least in North america you can do a lot better than that.

>>58659950
Alright, then go back to mint and open the terminal. Type

sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdXY

where XY is the partition (i.e. sda2 or sdb1). You can see a list of partitions by entering

sudo blkid

The ones you're after will probably be ntfs or exfat. Then enter

sudo mount -o rw /dev/sdXY

repeat with the other drive.

When it comes to Android storage; does the "Android" folder hold app data and such? Can I copy that, move it again once I flash my phone, and everything be back to normal?

>>58660545
It's not that easy, unfortunately. You'll need to use an app like titanium backup if you want to transfer stuff over after flashing.

>>58660488
You'll probably be fine on most games. You can always upgrade your gpu first and the processor later if it's not working out for you. The 3770/k are more forgiving

>>58660507
Uncheck the last box and you're good.

>>58660545
No, you'll need to use a backup program like titanium. If you don't have root, your options are somewhat limited.

Kek, thought so. My v10 is fucked up. I've saved personal shit, basically downloads and pictures. So was wondering if I should painfully wait to try and try to save more data from it or not.

>>58660632
The idea is that you reinstall everything on the SSD and you just put the HDD in without changing anything

If i upgrade from windows 7 to windows 10 can i move all the system files to another drive at the same time ?

So I run Ubuntu GNOME 16.04, and I like it a lot, but I'm running into some problems that can be a little annoying.

1. I use Anthy for my Japanese IME, but it won't output Japanese characters in Firefox. It works fine in literally anything else. I also tried Mozc, but it didn't output Japanese anywhere.

2. Firefox's file picker for downloads can only access my home, Desktop, and Downloads folders. If I want to save to anywhere else - say, my Pictures folder - I have to save it to Downloads first and manually cut/paste it.

3. If I leave Firefox open for more than a minute or so, the sound stops working in anything else until I restart. If I open Firefox while I have something else playing sound, it'll work until it drops and picks sound up again - for instance, Rhythmbox will finish one song fine, but the sound won't work for the next one.

>>58660795
I believe Windows keeps your old installation in a Windows.old folder for thirty days in case you decide you want to roll back.

>>58660795
I doubt there's an option for it. I would clone the drive before upgrading, say with macrium reflect. And consider a clean install as part of the upgrade. It reduces issues later on.

>>58660867
That's my point if i didn't put it very clearly
I'd like to just reinstall the system on an SSD and wipe everything else and also get to keep my license because i just forgot the bloody thing

>>58660684
even with partitions?

>>58660883
What I'm saying is I don't know a good way to do it all in one step. Keeping your 7 license is just a matter of getting the key

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html

Once you've installed 10 it will have it's own license permanently paired to the hardware.

>>58660970
Your HDD is just files, so you don't need to change it at all. If you have nothing of value on the SSD, you can just delete all partitions on it during setup and just let windows handle the rest.

trying to install compton for i3
after running compton I get a white flash, and the terminal window ignores any commands. closing the terminal warns of an ongoing process. is this normal? also, how do I make it start on boot? the arch wiki article is a little confusing.

I'm constantly dropping my phone with the earphones plugged in and I think I finally broke the socket because sound is only coming out of the right ear now (it's not the earphones, they work fine on my computer), is there anything I can do to fix it? All the posts about it I've found on google say to just pull the earphones out slightly but that doesn't work, the phone just stops detecting them and plays out loud.

>>58661019
I install OS on new SSD while moving old storage HDD to that new pc

I play the vidya. Yes, yes, I know, >>>/v/. I also program in C and Fortran, if it helps.

Anyways, looking for a new GPU. 480 8GB and 1060 6GB are both the same price in my shithole country. I'm leaning towards the 480 because of how well it's been maturing, to the point where it's currently slightly faster than the 1060. I don't really care about Physx (ded), Ansel, Shadowplay or any of the secondary features, I just care about raw power and physical quality since I just play muh gaymes and don't stream or anything.

I'll be playing on a triple 1080p setup (probably).

So, first off, if you've got a logical and compelling reason to draw me towards buying a 1060, I'd be grateful to hear it.

Second, what's the best 480 variant? The diference between them all is negligable here, and the ROG Strix OC version is actually one of the cheapest. It looks like the beefiest cooler and does direct VRM cooling too, but I don't know about Asus quality control. RMA's here are a pain in the everloving ass and might not actually be possible if something does happen to break.

Question regarding OOP in general, dunno if I should try dpt, but here goes nothing:
I have a project to do and I have to create a system of sort for bets.
Let's say I create a class bet. I create instances for bet whether they are valid, pre existing or invalid bets (e.g. the user doesn't have enough funds). I was wondering should I use this particular class for every bet in general or should make derived classes for the different "status" of every bet. What is better theoretically and will eventually make things easier and cleaner later?

How is the performance increase from R9 290 to GTX 980? Is it significant enough to worth the change?

Is a bet a status? No. A bet has a status, so status should be an attribute of bet.

That's how you should decide:

"has a" = property
"is a" = subtype

where can i get the latest version of the cm installer?
get.cm is not as noob friendly as i expected it to be
i downloaded a couple off of google but they didn't work because they're old

>>58661580
In the same sense though, a verified bet is a bet, a type of bet, no?
My argument for property was the same, but I was also thinking the fact that I can use polymorphism, overloading, virtuality in some cases if I make subclasses (cases in which the same can be done with control flow too with the property method) which is cleaner.
Don't get me wrong I haven't already made up my mind, derived classes will make things more complex too.

Anyone know how to fix this staining on my Trackpad? It's a Razer Blade 2016, which is similar to a Macbook Pro. I think it was caused by grease, which has eaten the top coating. I've tried a magic eraser, which works for a little bit, but the staining becomes visible again after a little use.

It's also worth mentioning the light might be a bit funny. The aluminium next to the trackpad is uniform in colour.

I was looking for an english audio track to the movie chevalier and google stumbled over this.

What the fuck is this, I'm genuinely curious

http://www.bellyupspa.com/chevalier-2015-english-clean-audio-torrent-download/

Did somebody hijack their site and install these additional links to movie audio tracks?

Is the company that made the site for them a pissed off at them/a scam and they added additional hidden advertisements on this site?

Or is the site attempting to 'camouflage' itself as a nonexistent spa so that it won't be taken down as easily?

Was this section of the site designed by a human or did a bot rip elements from a torrent site and paste them here but switch the links to malware? Is there a virus going around trying to hack into small business websites and introducing this shit so that it gets clicks from google and spreads itself?

obviously not downloading that shit.

>>58661665
It really depends if it will be useful to you from a programming and database perspective, if there will be additional methods or properties you may want to store on them depending on the state, and if that will be worth the additional effort it will take to do simple things like have a unique and unchangeable Id for bets regardless of their state.

Just cruising along on my shitbox and noticed this little guy for sale still sealed in the antistatic bag. It's an Intel DH55TC. They want 30 shekels. I'm wanting to set up a dedicated server so I'm not running my main machine 24/7. So 2 questions. Are the integrated graphics going to have problems transcoding and shit for simple things like plex? Or is that more cpu intensive? Next question, on intels spec page for raid they just list n/a. Does that mean that this board is incapable of any raid configuration? I always thought that it would be more on the software side as long as you have the avalible sata ports?

>>58662789
Transcoding is all CPU unless you've got a modern GPU that can do it in hardware (but software still does better quality).For Intel integrated that was introduced one generation later, so CPU only for you.

Can't do BIOS based RAID, so if you want RAID you can't boot from it if you're running Windows. Any other OS is fine.

I got a new monitor after like 5 years, but the colors were very yellow when I got it.

So I went into windows color calibration and fixed it, but it doesn't transfer into the games I'm playing, I know for CS:GO there is a command which I use, but it doesn't transfer to other games I play obviously.

Is there a way to force the color switch into all games or something? My monitor doesn't really have a lot of color change options on it so I have to go through software. I can only really change contrast, or if it's warm or cool.

>>58663351
Not unless you find an ISP that provides it with your subscription, and that mostly quit being a thing ages ago

>>58663395
warm/cool might help, since yellow is warm

Sooo.
I5 4690K
I've OC to 4.6 GHz.
With only 1.15 volt.
On the internet people have like 1.2+ all over the place. Like 1.25 or even 1.3

But mine is seemingly smooth with just 1.15.
I even think I could go lower volt or higher clock.
But I've read somewhere about too low voltages are damaging in the long run.
Did I win CPU lottery?
My temps never go over 65C on load and I only have 212 EVO.

>>58663536
I tried cool and the option was incredibly blue.
I'm worried the same thing will happen, my windows settings wont transfer into the games.

>>58663591
is the options only warm and cool or is there a slider for it ? If it's a slider or whatever you should then turn off any software options and try to fiddle with the monitor itself

why can i not load gelbooru on desktop, but i can load it on mobile just fine using the same internet connection?

it definitely is the same internet connection (and inherent ip) by the way because the tablet has no "data" plan or anything.

>>58663612
I have class right now, I'll have to look into it after, but ya I'll have to crack open the manual, since I didn't see a slider, it was more of a yes or no to warm or cold.

This is what I used for what you said when I was in college. I got it for next to nothing since it's an old 2009 model and there's plenty of cheap parts for replacements. It's well documented for pretty much any Linux distro and runs Windows fine. I got mine for like 150$. Worked absolutely great. I wouldn't buy a modern MacBook though.

Is it safe to overclock a 1050TI's clock speeds as much as the software enables it to? I also only have a fairly old microATX board(H61MGC) if it matters.

>>58663816
Generally software allows you to go a lot farther than is commonly practical/advisable

Is a raspberry Pi the best sub-$50 device for fucking around with? Which model is best/most compatible?

>>58663628
omg, it worked after restarting my PC. i dunno if the restart specifically was what did that (the entire time between the restart and now i was fucking around on my tablet, until randomly checking PC again), but it loads now.

I even closed my browser (it yielded the same results in both Firefox and Brave browser) and ran CCleaner and gelbooru still couldn't load. I even found another porn site I don't want to name since they steal artwork couldn't load on desktop either, but could on mobile just as gelbooru. But pornhub is the normie meme porn site and it could load on both desktop and mobile for me, and the above two sites which suffer the same fate as each other aren't related at all- one is eastern, one is western and a company.

anyway i sorta lost my train of thought, dunno why this happened, happy it fixed itself. Just wanted to throw further insight into the circumstances for context or something...

Hey /g/ I used a temporary throwaway email to get an email plus attachment but it doesn't show it. However I can access the raw email data; is there a way I can add it to an email program or something to show the email in a normal way? Or is here another way?

Thank you in advance, I really need this file!

I have an issue with scraping dynamic pages (Discord chat) with Selenium and Beautifulsoup. I'm able to do everything fine but right now its checking every record with "INSERT OR IGNORE" and I'm doing a shit load of excess computing.

Code:

driver.get(URL)
while 1==1:
time.sleep(60)
chat_page = driver.page_source
chat_soup = BeautifulSoup(chat_page,'lxml')
messages = chat_soup.findAll('div', attrs={'class':'message first'})
for message in messages:
username = message.div.h2.span.strong.text
text = message.find('div', attrs={'class':'markup'}).get_text()
timestamp = message.find('span', attrs={'class':'timestamp'}).get_text()
today = str(datetime.date.today())
timestamp = timestamp.replace('Today', today)

usernames.append(username)
timestamps.append(timestamp)
texts.append(text)
print(timestamp, username," : ",text)


Current shitty work-around:

driver.get(URL)
while 1==1:
chat_page = driver.page_source
chat_soup = BeautifulSoup(chat_page,'lxml')
messages = chat_soup.findAll('div', attrs={'class':'message first'})
for message in reversed(messages):
username = message.div.h2.span.strong.text
usernames.append(username)
text = message.find('div', attrs={'class':'markup'}).get_text()
text = text.replace('"', '')
text = text.replace("'", "")
username = username.replace('"', '')
username = username.replace("'", "")
timestamp = message.find('span', attrs={'class':'timestamp'}).get_text()
today = str(datetime.date.today())
timestamp = timestamp.replace('Today', today)
isbot = message.find('span', attrs={'class':'bot-tag'})
if (isbot):
username = '(BOT) ' + username
sql = '''INSERT OR IGNORE INTO 'chats' ('timestamp', 'username', 'text') VALUES ("%s", "%s", "%s")''' % (timestamp, username, text)
conn.executescript(sql)

Is that the one with a Core2Duo and GMA 950? My first ThinkPad had those, with all the advantages of it being a ThinkPad. Got it for $210 in 2011. Came with a Blu-Ray of a shitty Christian Bale movie.

nowadays you don't even need a full desktop for 1080p video and web browsing, a raspberry pi can do those

rsync or ddrescue
depending on if you want to backup only a certain group of files, or the whole volume

I just got a SIM card for my Android after using it WI-FI only for years. What happens if I have it connected to 3G and WI-FI and I use the Internet, does WI-FI override it or does it use data?

>>58664226
It usually defaults to wifi.

I'm running crontab on a script that writes to a file, but every time I run it, I get mail in /var/maili/user

The message reads:

sh: sysctl: command not found 

What can I do to fix this?

I have a old laptop and i want to install 7 on it, it came with XP.

But it wont recognize the USB even when i used it before.

I have to use a DVD for it?

>>58664305
sysctl is not accessible to whatever user is trying to run that job, so you'll need to change that or put the job in a more privileged user's crontab

I'm going to upgrade my mainboard and because of this, I need new DDR4 RAM as well. My question: How important is:
>RAM frequency
>RAM latency

>>58664488
apparently very, frequency being more important than latency(I think) therefore buy the highest frequency your chipset can have and then compare ram sticks with that frequency to have the lowest latency

Why does Game Boy Pocket cost more than Game Boy? Shouldn't it be cheaper because it's smaller?

>>58664488
Got a B150, H110 or a H170 with no XMP capabilities?
Go for cheapest.

Z170?
Fastest/Less expensive.

Latency is not a big problem.

Does the packages list in Windows 10 refresh somehow?

I mean, using the command "get-appxpackage" in PowerShell I can get list of "apps" packages installed in the system and use "remove-appxpackage" to uninstall certain ones. However. while I tested it out at work PC, apps removed that way (like Xbox one) does vanish from Start Menu but still appear when I list them with "get-appxpackage" command.

So, do they indeed get deleted and said list does not update or I just dont understand how it works?

>>58663956
What model?

>>58664349
Make sure you're not trying to install 64 bit on a 32 bit system. Even some early 64 bit processors weren't compatable. Also make sure you have usb booting enabled in bios. You might have to go the dvd route though

>>58664863
Now that you mention it that might be the problem.
I have x64 versions.

Still puppy linux should be detected.

Okay, I did

$sudo -i
$crontab -e

And after I copy+pasted the commands I wanted to run, the crontab didn't run (I might not have been logged in as root when the command ran)... I guess what I"m trying to ask is: how can I run other users' crontabs and/or how to make sure the command runs correctly?

Raspiss is only worth it if you want stuff made/configured for it to just werk or you'll use the pinouts. What's your use case? Maybe you could put a VM or chroot on something you already have?

This is not a stupid question but I have to post this because I need help.
I've got a laptop that can't boot anymore into Windows, it dropped while I was using it so I thought it's surely the HDD.
I'm planning on installing Lubuntu (or any other distro that you recommend) and keep it on an USB drive (I know how to do that).
Then I want to see if I can access my Windows drive and HDD, I have really important files in there that I can't afford to loose, and I don't have any backup.
The problem is I have no experience with Linux, I guess that I'll have to some advanced shit on the terminal in order to do that but I don't know anything, the only command that I know is Screenfetch.
I don't know this if it's appropriate to post this here but whatever, I'm not a /g/ guy.

>>58665126
Yes, but especially if they actually stop a surge. Its worth spending a fraction of the cost of your expensive electronics to get a nice 3000 Joule surge protector and think about tossing them if they actually get triggered. Each brand and quality has different life expectancy, but 8 years probably well past the warranty.

Nah. I've already got VMs where I need em. What I'm looking for is a small, flexible device I can use for whatever comes up. Media server, vpn, tetris, HTPC.

Cousin asked if i could fix his notebook. The problem is that the windows never goes past the loading windows screen. When it does, it goes straight to the "rapair start-up tool". Itried to use every single tool that windows has to repair, and with every distro i've too(win10, win7, win8.1). But none seens to work, it always gets stuck at some point.
Using Linux distros i was able to recover some data from it, but wasn't able to format the disk to install windows once again.
Hell, i even tried to install every distro i've (the linux ones too) but none seems to works. It always gets stuck in the detecting file systems or the formatting hard drive part.
Is there something else i could do or is this HD dead already? I've opened the notebook to check if the thing was connected. For fucks sake, i even tried it on others computers but the same thing everywhere.

Note: He said it started to show this problem once he "slaped" the notebook to see if the mousepad would work again, lifting the notebok 10cm from his bed. Is this enough to kill it since it was on and running the OS?

Just trying to figure if i missed some procedure or this is the end for that HD.

use ddrescue to make an image of the whole drive

it works like regular dd, only it will skip/retry blocks as needed and try to make the most complete image it can

once you think you've got as much as it can get, then mount that image read-only (mount -o ro) and pull your files off that way
if it's unmountable, try "ntfsfix"
if it's /still/ unmountable, try "testdisk"
