/sqt/ - stupid questions thread

How come some things get softer when you heat them, and some things get harder when you heat them?

This is literally blowing my mind.

Can I connect a RGB led strip on a RGBW pin header?

What is the diference between dlna and ftp?
I set up ftp for usb hdd connected to my router. FTP download speed is horrible probably because router's cpu cant handle it. Will i get better speed from dlna?

Is there a way to make VLC recognize a click to the video area as play/pause like MPC does?

>>58724614
Dlna is for media streaming, ftp is for transferring entire files

>>58724554
Most things transfer from solid to liquid as the atoms in them become excited by the heat. Your dick becomes harder because the neurons in your brain are reacting to the heat of the cooch.

To kick off this thread,
I have a very nice question

I picked up some large speakers recently
Like, they have an RCA jack

They are 8ohm, and thus I am worried about what will happen if I plug them into my motherboard's integrated audio. It is my understanding that that is far too little impedance and will work like a "short".

But what I'm wondering is

my motherboard has 7.1 audio

And if you attach power sources in parallel, they share the load

so would hooking up a 3-way splitter to the Front, Rear, and Side jacks, to merge them into one Omni Jack with 3x the regular per-port amperage, be enough to power 8ohm speakers?

>>58724749
You retarded or something?
they are passive speakers and need amp

output from your PC will go in to the amp

>>58724783
but I don't have an amp because I'm a cheap nigger

And my question is

Yes, my mobo's Line Out jack doesn't provide enough juice for passive speakers

BUT

does it provide ⅓ of the juice required?

Because if so, it stands to reason that combining all 3 jacks would provide the juice required (since amps in parallel sum)

>>58724847
No. You need an amp.

>>58724649
So does that mean i won't be able to mount that hdd on my pc in a way that allows me to download torrents directly onto it?

>>58724857
Ya, if FTP doesn't work

>>58724554

What subwoofer should I pair with my Marantz HD660 speakers?

The bass and overall sound quality are very good, but it kind of drops off on some songs with very low pitched bass.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMd9eYXT0mM

The really low frequencies in this song are a good example.

Thank you for your time.

Cool, but this shouldn't be outside? It was sealed. And how this works? It's a chip inside or something?

Apparently Windows 10 removed fucking bootup options/safe mode? What the fuck am I supposed to do now?

>>58725410
That just means they're too lazy to secure it better or that the store that needs to protect it adds their own later in the manufacturing process

>>58725447
Force a safemode startup. That's with terminal in the installation medium.

Unless it's not an EFI partition. If it's MBR then press f8 or something on reboot.

>>58725510
I have no installation medium. Do I need to burn a windows 10 disk?

Yes, or make a bootable USB stick. UEFI windows 10 either disables the f8 menu or it boots too fast to notice the key press.

After 3 failed boots in a row, it should give you the option for safe mode.

Barring that, toss in your installation media and access it from there.

I didn't see any build threads so I figured I'd ask here.

I'm saving up to build a new computer since my current one is ~5 years old and has multiple hardware failures. I know everything that I plan on getting except for the case. I was hoping /g/ would give me some recommendations.

Here's what I'm looking for.
-As dust/cat hair free as possible.
-As quiet as possible using multiple additional air fans.
-Mid to full tower.
-No doors/panels to move on the front to turn it on or to access the optical drive/front IO
-Has no tempered glass panel, those are a meme and just a gimmick to increase the price.
-Cable management is a plus but not required, I'll be getting a modular PSU.

I give zero shits about how it looks. I want a functional, quiet, cool machine. Thanks for any input.

Is using a proxy just a way of using a VPN for one perticular software?

>>58726133
Network-wise, yes. They both 'proxy'. But there are other benefits to VPN as well that proxy services don't provide

How do i make it so that the threads i have watched are carried over between different devices. E.I. watch a thread on a laptop, it appears on the desktop.

I have 2 S4's with broken digitizers i got for free, what do i do with them? I have ADB enabled on them now so I can use vysor and use them on my pc, New screens are at least $100 but idk what use it would have, any suggestions?

What's the reason behind Linux not having a file extension system (.sh, .docx, .txt, .exe)
I mean, there's really no way of telling whether a file myfile is a text file or a binary executable or something else

>>58726133
Think of a proxy like someone holding up a mirror so you can bounce a message off of it. Anybody standing between you and that mirror can clearly see what the message says, and if somebody has a good vantage point they can follow the message back to the mirror and then to you. So it really doesn't provide much protection. A VPN is like the same thing, but the message is encoded between you and mirror guy, and it's usually mixed with lots of other messages from other people so it can't be directly pinned to you on the other end.

>>58726479
read the documentation
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/gets/
>On success, the function returns str.
>If the end-of-file is encountered while attempting to read a character, the eof indicator is set (feof). If this happens before any characters could be read, the pointer returned is a null pointer (and the contents of str remain unchanged).
>If a read error occurs, the error indicator (ferror) is set and a null pointer is also returned (but the contents pointed by str may have changed).

>>58726479
If you're on a UNIX-like OS you can type

man 3 gets

where gets is the function you'd like to learn about. Up will pop the manual page with all the data you'll need.

gets = "get string". It's defined in string.h

How effective would it be to use a random old crt monitor for online shooters, given how high their response time is?

Linux determines filetypes by a different means.

File extensions was really more of a DOS imposed thing. Linux is based on Unix, which didn't use extensions in such a manner. Unix predates Microsoft and DOS.

The real question you should be asking is why did DOS decide to place such importance on such a trivial and unreliable means of determining filetypes?

>>58726704
UX - User Experience
Since packages, zip files and whatnots are being passed around like crazy, users needs to easily know what kind of file each file is. Instead of clicking everything hoping to find a text file only to find out that you just executed a delete script.

i7 6700k or i7 4790k? i look at the specs and it seems that the 4790k overclocks better, but i have no experience with either.

Can someone explain to me how DDR4 speeds work? I see the modules available in speeds from 2133 - 4266, but on my motherboard's specs it has an (O.C) after every speed above 2133. Does that mean I have to overclock it to get that speed, and what exactly would I have to overclock? The FSB? If I just put, say a 2666 module in there does that mean the module is just rated for 2666 and will run at 2133 unless overclocked?

>>58726737
That's doing it for users, not the OS.
The real reason that it's such a big deal in DOS is that DOS had 8-character filename limits at the time. So, you didn't get enough characters to meaningfully convey the purpose or type of your files with just their names, therefore, you needed the shorthand expression of such information that filename extensions gives you.

What OS? You probably want async (although this can be done with threads if your OS supports that)

I'm not sure the idiomatic way to do this in C++, but in C you can use epoll/poll/select/etc to do this. I know some of those can do level triggered if that's what you need.

I currently have one cheap .com domain only for personal use with namecheap. It is soon to be renewed, so I was thinking about moving it somewhere else, but not sure if it's worth the hassle. I would also like to purchase one more .pro domain.

First answer these questions:

Do you have more than 2 M.2 drives that you want in a RAID Array?
Do you have the latest and greatest NVME devices?
Do you have multiple graphics cards?

Your installation itself wouldn't fuck up, but your ability to boot into your installation will.

Upgrading BIOS is a bad idea in general and you shouldn't do it unless fixing a bug.

what is the best 13 inch laptop for everyday use? I mostly just make pdfs for work and do some light video editing for fun

bought new speakers, the sound is really low with high volume all across. Speakers are fine, play real loud when I connect to my phone and MP3 player

what do?

Thinking of installing CCTV cameras outside my house, maybe 2 or 3. I already have a server in my house so I would just throw one more VM onto it. What cameras should I buy? What software to use? I was thinking like:
>All cameras with ethernet cable
>Recording server as a VM
>Recording to Raid 1 HDDs.
>Everything on a separate vlan with no internet access
Am I thinking the right way about it?

I just tried to transfer a folder from my android phone to my desktop with cut/paste. The folder had a subfolder with the same name, and that subfolder also had a subfolder with the same name. Now that the data has transfered, all the subfolders and their files are no where to be seen. What gives?

>>58728735
Nevermind, I found a solution by using the following:

Paststate=CurrentState;
CurrentState=ReadSensor(); 
If (Paststate==CurrentState){
//Sensor hasn't changed, do nothing. 
}
If (Paststate!=CurrentState){
//Shit has changed, inform! 
}

This way I can find how many pulses the sensor has seen as long as I keep the refresh rate lower than the period of the sensor signal.

I just bought a domain name and set it to forward to another website. weird thing is it forwards correctly when i use my phone and it forwards correctly on my mates phone when i asked him to check yet when i try to use it on one of my 2 pc's it just goes to a placeholder page which i assume is used by the people who sold the domain or something. any idea wtf is going on?

>>58729642
ipconfig /flushdns

if it won't work after this, your computers are using DNS servers that are outdated. Set them to 8.8.4.4 & 8.8.8.8

>>58729642
The DNS server that your computer is using probably hasn't updated yet.
Sometimes they can be pretty slow, and may require a few hours.
Try changing your DNS server to something else (google how to do it for your OS) and see if it works then.

The good thing is that my 4g is apparently fine. It's averaging around 8/2, which isn't my old speeds obviously, but it's at least consistent. The problem is that apparently, I can't just choose to use 4g because I'm missing the option compared to the screen shots in seeing.

>>58728457
what platform are you using? read up on what interrupts are, whatever MCU you're using will have a hardware interrupt block, you use vendor specific code to configure it at runtime and define a function to be called whenever the interrupt happens, as soon as that sensor toggles your normal event loop is halted, the cpu will stash the current register values and then call into the function, you can then do a very quick evaluation and store the event so your main loop can do something with it. as soon as you return from that function the previous registers are restored and your normal program continues as usual. very handy shit, can't believe you haven't been taught this yet.

Any suggestions on screen recording software for windows?

Bandicam is hard to get cracked. Always uncracks itself after a day or two and needs to be reinstalled. Great when it works including support for Lagarith but I can't be assed to reinstall it every 2 days.

Camtasia sucks ass because it can't record audio outside of it's proprietary container (.trac) which is also crippled by a low quality encoder

DXstory only works with hooking so it doesn't do desktop or transitions

OBS is... great but as far as I can tell requires an APPID to record and isn't seamless like bandicam. I want to switch from desktop to firefox, to games, and have it record whatever app is on screen irregardless of focus or hook. Also can't do "record by selection" only full screen

Things I need/want:
Good support for encoders (H264 and Lagarith primarily)
Windows binary
Ability to seamlessly record between windows without having to hook an application
Easy to acquire and/or crack

I'm close to BUYING an overpriced bandicam license.

>>58729011
nearlyfreespeech they have excellent privacy policies, each domain is handled in accordance with the country it applys to(i.e. no FBI take downs of non-US domains, option of censored domain ownership details on TLDs that allow it).

>>58729214
DRAM is addressed in blocks at the hardware level. malloc() is implemented in a way the suits the hardware, e.g. on a x86_64 desktop computer all heap transactions are performed with 64bit address space and 64bit registers, the cpu's memory controller is then in charge of handling caching as the actual memory bus may be much larger on newer systems. In a more contemporary design like a MCU your malloc() is normally written by you, and is based on the block size of the DRAM and bus width used(normally 16-32bit ADDR shared with data, 128bit blocks where the DRAM expects 4 write cycles unless it has a done interrupt), so your HW address becomes a line and offset value, line being the lower block number and offset being ADDR%128.

2. What distro should I grab? I haven't touched linux in a year or two, and back then I used Ubuntu, but I want to know what are some good options nowadays.

3. Are drivers going to be a pain in the ass for me? My CPU and GPU are ayyyyyymd.

Has anyone ever used their free time and programming skills to make some additional money?

I mean, instead of playing game i might as well bring in some more money.
But i have absolutely no creative force inside of me and thus have no clue how.

1. ssd, yes
2. doesn't matter
3. maybe

>>58735217
Do you know exactly how large I should make the partition? I was thinking only ~30gb since I have the harddrive for big files.

I wanna try Linux mint but some months ago I heard it was compromised, is it safe to download now or no?

Not really.
But linux is best on SSD since you can create a mount point fro your media on the HDD.

Ubuntu mate, Linux mint, openSUSE, Elementary OS, even solus.
You can try debian / arch if you feel like it.
>3
In my experince open drivers in the kernel works better than any propriety drivers.

>>58735187
Linux may be slightly more forgiving of HDDs but you should still use the SSD. Distro depends on what you want, most people are fine with ubuntu or mint. Most drivers are automatic. AMD GPUs are not very good for linux

It's a real nice anti Malware program. Second to common sense 2017.

>>58735346
Maybe 10 years ago.

>>58735317
Your inb4 makes no sense. And it was only unsafe for like a week

So, some websites on my company have been compromised with malicious php code. I have to search for malware inside about 3000 php files. What would you do in my situation?

>>58735187
>Is the speed difference between HDD and SSD for linux as large as it is for windows?
yes, use SSD wherever you can.
>What distro
If you know some ubuntu, try that again.
Distro is irrelevant to all people who ask this question, what they mean is what desktop environment they should use.
>Are drivers going to be a pain
Depends on the distro.

Check out a pre-infection version of all files and run a diff?

>>58734367
Bump

>>58735617
That's what I thought. A diff run would literally take days though. I was using find command to search for malicious base64 and eval patterns, but the site is still infected. Any other ideas?

>>58724531
I need a scripting language for an RPG I'm writing. I'm planning on writing the language from scratch in C++.
I was going to create a tiny C-like language, but I started watching the MIT SICP lectures and fell in love with lisp.

So my question is, would it be a stupid/unreasonably difficult project to write a reasonably functional (but somewhat minimalist) lisp-variant interpreter from scratch?
The main thing that seems like it will end up being a pain is memory management/garbage collection, but I feel like it should be manageable.

The breadwinner passed away last week. Our income (13k/yr) is in the gap that doesn't fall for free Healthcare (medicaid) and doesn't earn enough for Obamacare subsidy. My little brother needs an expensive $60 asthma inhaler + $300 doctors appointments and my mother needs medicine for her autoimmune disease. Homelessness is looming over our shoulders.

I have been a piece of shit NEET for the past 5 years. I would kill myself but I need to live and take care of them.

I need a job ASAP but I also want one with potential growth. I don't want to live paycheck to paycheck forever.

I have the ability to pass the A+ and CCNA but I have none of those certs. What job should I look for? I will apply to my local grocery stores as a cashier for the time being.

>>58735660
Why reinvent the wheel for this?
Why not use an existing language, include a library and then foxus on the RPG?

>>58735641
>a diffrun would take days

What the hell? I don't understand.
Why would it take days?

>>58735721
Because I like reinventing the wheel and find it a good exercise.
Realistically, I'm never going to sell or probably even finish the RPG, but at least I'll become a better programmer in the process of completing it.
I could have just used Unity if the end result was my only concern, but I really dislike not understanding how the system works under the hood.
However, I'll certainly admit that if I was being pragmatic and reasonable about finishing this thing, I'd just integrate Lua and be done with it.

his computer is from the 50's

I have an Asus z170 m7 and a Corsair RM650x.

The m7 has a secondry 8 pin ATX power supply near the peripheral bar. My power supply 8 pin cables(6+2) don't fit this socket. 6 pins fit, but one of the pins on the 2 pin is the incorrect shape.

Do I need an adapter or is this not needed?

I can't remember if when an Android phone is off if the fact that it shows the battery symbol + 0% means it's charging or not, can anyone confirm?

>>58735776
I get that feeling, but there is a difference between understanding something and implementing it and then worrying about the memory efficiency of the thing you have implemented vs something that works and someone else might use.

I changed the USB port my dac was plugged into and it now doesn't work. The power light is still on and it still appears in the playback devises tab, but it doesn't play any sound. Is there anyway to fix this or will I have to deal with messy looking cables?

CCleaner (under Tools).

Check you have the latest FF, the last version (51 i think) could cause such image errors, a chemspill was released the next day.

You know you'll be searching for new keys every time they blacklist it? NOD32 is cheap as shit for a year license, just do the right thing anon.

>>58735935
Well, alright. I'll try out a g2a key and if that won't work I'll spend a bit on the key.

If it stays at 0% for more than 1-2 minutes then it's not

Just kidding I'll save up the 20 or so buckaroos. It'll be a worthwhile investment with my retardation.

So I have two monitors, i'd like to run linux but have a fullscreen vm of windows on my second monitor, what performance loss should I expect for newish games like overwatch or witcher?

Do either of these cables exist?

I only see VGA+1.8MM to HDMI out, i basically need the opposite.

>>58735621
Rebump, not so important but I have to replace my current one

Nevermind I guess I can use this: https://www.amazon.com/Rankie-Gold-Plated-Active-Adapter-Converter/dp/B01M3VLLR7?th=1

I'm running a gigabyte 1060 6gb I got for 200usd
Thinking of buying the 4690k and am upgrading from an i3 4150
How much can I oc the new i5, and will it bottleneck my GPU?
Any other CPU reccomendations? Not looking to upgrade mbo or ram, so devil's canyon line.
Additionally my Mobo resets to current day/2085 every time I power it off.
That's the Mobo battery right?
Pic obviously not related

>>58736444
>Mobo resets to current day/2085 every time I power it off

I don't know much about modern hardware so I cant give you advice on the other stuff, but yes, your CMOS battery is dead or bad.

>>58736303

First you'll have to use "GPU passthrough" for your VM to be able to use the GPU.

Why does Crimson say "new recommended 16.12.2" when I'm running 17.1.1

>>58736303
Expect a 10-15% loss if set up ideally, plus the impact of whatever resources your linux install is using. Aside from the passthrough you'll want to have linux on a seperate drive from windows

>>58736444
The exact amount of the overclock isn't gonna matter too much. That i5 is about up there with any other. The main question is whether you're going to regret not getting an i7. There are games that are starting to take advantage of them, and that's only going to be more true as time goes on. So it' up to you whether it's worth ponying up for hyperthreading, but I wouldn't rule it out without some consideration

Is there a secure and easy way to receive emails on my domain without setting up a mail server myself?
