How is this feature called?
The screenshot is from KDE, but I assume the are many programs who can do this, like there are many different panels to install?

Basically i want to add this to a window manager, but I don't even know what to google, and if i try to describe it, it's easy to end up with results about tiling window managers, except this is something else, more like a nice way to switch between floating windows.

Can I lick remilia's feet for eternity?

Is there any way, on Android, to have fingerprints recognized, but to only allow password lock? For fingerprints to be used only for other stuff, ie app locks, password managers, etc.

Hello!

I have two folders. One is my music folder, one is a backup of it.
For some reason (probably path length?), everytime i try doing a backup of my music folder, the backup ends up having 200 files less or so than the original

Is there a software that would allow me to check what files are missing based on the first folder's content (and every subfolder it contain)? I know winmerge exist, but it actually checks the content of the file, and my music folder is really heavy (77GB)

Is there a valid reason to switch to another OS when Windows 7 stops updating security?

I would use Linux but alot of games don't run good.

What are the best Premiere Pro tutorials on YouTube?

>>59174975
I'm assuming Windows 10 does not work for you?

Well, security is important, so that's an actual reason, rather than autism or something else.

>games on linux
Depends what games you play. I only play Dota 2, so I'm good, it runs natively. Look up the games you play.

And for picking your new OS, the question is
>Does it allow me to do everything I need to do with this machine?
If yes, there you go, if no look up something else.
But don't do distro hopping.

>>59174818
A few minutes would be enough for me to die happy and with no regrets.

>>59175091

>I'm assuming Windows 10 does not work for you?
Yeah, I feel like windows has abandoned a pure desktop environment to make a tablet desktop hybrid that I just don't care for.

I'm just kinda left wondering what to do in a few years after windows ditches windows 7 security updates.

I'm not really worried about getting viruses but I am concerned that infected machines on my local network could pose a problem (I live with idiots family members).

Wouldn't a regular windows firewall keep me safe from idiots on my locale network?

>>59174856
probably rather than looking specifically for verification software you should just use something that works properly to make the backup in the first place

>>59175257
10's interface is pretty much the same as 7's. Don't worry about it, Mr. Alzheimer.

>>59174975
Well yes, if your computer is connected to the internet you definitely DON'T want to use an OS that is no longer getting security updates.

Win 7 will stop getting security updates in January 2020, so you can stick with it until then.

>>59174540
Cute Remiry, dude.

I just got a new notebook, it is kinda limited. It has W7(no I wont install gnu/linux now) and I plan to use it for programming and web development.
I plan on using Google Chrome to help with web development.
I wanted to know if it is still a good option to use IE11 as a main browser just for navigation or is there something better you guys can suggest?
I don't really care about privacy, customizability or addons, I just want a lightweight browser.
Thanks for reading ^-^!

Will Steam OS ever be a windows replacement for a gaming computer?

I use a shitty old laptop for work and I only use my rig for gaming.

>>59175589
Disconnect all nonessential components
(everything but psu/cpu/mobo/ram)
see if it turns on
if it does, add parts back in one at a time to see which breaks it

>>59175665
>(everything but psu/cpu/mobo/ram)
CPU and RAM are nonessential. Fans will start spinning without both.

>>59175589
Do what he said, but also removes RAM and CPU power cable (located right under the PSU FAN).

Is it possible to activate windows under a GPT partition?

Daz and MSToolkit wont work.

>>59175589
Alright, starting with the basics, Do fan spins when you turn it on?

Did it ever turn on before?
Did you connected the F_Panel correctly?
EVGA PSUs come with a box to check they work, use it.

>>59175591
>windows replacement for a gaming computer
No, not really.
Unless your "Gaming Computer" is a dedicated machine that only runs games, I doubt it.
SteamOS has been designed for a use case similar to the Xbox and PlayStation, as something that runs on the HTPC behind your TV.

Took it apart like you guys were saying tyvm. Seems i didnt have the one plug with 20+4 or something like that properly plugged in. It does turn on now but nothing is being displayed on my monitor. Any advice?

>>59175824
Make sure you have the monitor cable plugged into the GPU, and not the motherboard.

If still no output, remove the GPU, and plug monitor into the motherboard.

>>59175762
Yeah, you need an authentic product key from Microsoft™.

Are the new CPUs coming out truly 8 core?

Or are they 4 cores with extra virtual cores?

I'm trying to learn more about computers again before I build my next rig.

>>59175915
Yes, real 8 cores this time.

>>59175915
They are 8 physical cores, so true 8 cores
i7 are 4 physical core with HyperThreading (Also called SMT), so the OS see it as 8 cores.

>>59175935

So Ryzen is a true 8 core?

I was planning on using part of my tax return to pick up a 4k monitor.
Im an illustrator / photographer and I fucking hate Matte Anti-glare screens, losing clarity and color depth isn't worth it. ( I also never open the blinds in my office, and the lamp i use doesn't reflect off my screens. So the drawbacks of glossy are a non-issue.)
In doing research there isn't much in the way of glossy 4k monitors... at all.
And it feels like OLED / HDR 4k shit will be affordable in the near future, so i might just have to wait.
I really don't want to, but my gut is saying that's the best plan of action.

Unless someone knows of a 4k glossy, good color reproduction IPS screen. eh?

>>59175985
yes

>>59175591
no reason to use steamOS over any other Linux distro
its whole gimmick is that it's supposed to be possible to use with a controller while sitting on your couch
if you want a regular gaming pc instead of a living-room console replacement, it doesn't do anything that you couldn't do by installing steam on any other distro

I'm waiting for the VR environment to become a little more developed ( I think that it will be fairly good in around 2 years).

All I care about is playing Total War on my gaming rig. I'll probably get fairly into VR in around a year or two.

For anything work related I use a shitty old laptop because not being able to play good games at whim is a productivity booster.

I have an HP Probook 6450b laptop and a single arrow key doesn't function, I have tried removing the keyboard and reconnecting it and the key still doesn't function. Any other remodies I could try?

>fullscreen a video on firefox and screen goes black after two minutes and I have to reboot
Its not every time and every two minutes.... but what the fuck? My chromium install is acting funny so thought I'd try firefox, never had browser videos crash my gpu before, is firefox just shit?

Is there a command line switch to start Firefox minimized that actually works in W10? Wanted to use it in conjunction with JDownloader's captcha solver since it's still annoying to have it steal focus.

>>59176381
Yeah, Firefox is shit and needs to be restarted frequently. I usually leave Youtube scripts disabled and download videos with youtube-dl. But then I don't get annotations. The main reason I do that is for controlling playback while playing a game.

My gnome-terminal refuses to launch after some period and I've searched and searched but I have no idea what on earth is causing this to happen.

It works fine shortly after booting into ubuntu/gnome but after some time it just stops working at all, I tried alt+f2 to open xterm and it just gives me this error when I attempt to launch it. Changing locale.conf to the default does not fix this and is the usual answer I come across.

>>59176171
You can completely disassemble and clean the keyboard, but that can be very difficult and is likely to completely kill the keyboard.
If you need the keyboard working, you could order a new one.

>>59176381
Some 390's have this problem.
It's hard to RMA, because it's very intermmittent.

What reading should I do if I want to work with bluetooth? I have an idea to improve a medical peripheral that already exists, but at current is severely limited in scope and execution.

Easiest way to learn linux is in a VM. When you inevitably fuck up you can just revert it. Why not just get a seedbox? You don't have to use upload bandwidth on your local connection that way and you're protected from copywrite claims

>>59177187

I think a basic reading would be enough to get read

>>59177221

Then maybe it transfers the completed file I want when the local PC is turned on?

Future CS autist here. Which math do I take, Intro to Differential Equations or Matrix Algebra?

Why do redditors get so upset that I put my hair in a bun?

>>59177272
Yes, you basically get a preconfigured chunk of server space with a torrent client that you can remote access, usually via a browser page. You paste in links to the .torrent or magnet link, and the client loads them the same as it would on a local computer. When you want to download or upload something, you do that separately, usually with something like SFTP, which should be fast enough to saturate most internet connections.

I have a pretty scrub question.

I've been downloading movies for as long as I've had the internet.

How do you guys watch them on your television?

I always assumed people just watched at your desk but apparently people watch from their living room and shit.

I tried putting it on a USB and playing it from my PS3 but it wouldn't recognize all the file types and the ones that did play would be horribly jerky every couple of minutes.

Do you guys just keep your desktop in your living room then?

>>59177353
I have a desktop and a laptop.
I store the movies on the desktop, share them over the network, and play them on the laptop to the TV.

>>59177328
No

>>59177353
plex

>>59177353
HDMI.

>>59177329
Both. Maths is more important than most of the computing papers.
Linear Algebra is GOAT.

>>59177353
Use a dlna media server program and stream them across your network

>>59177348
How much would a decent deal for a seedbox be then?

That is probably the only real problem here. If it costs so much then I am almost back to having a cheap linux box thingy that can passively download chinktoons all the time.

Seedbox would allow for copyright avoidance so that I could actually download more then anime, but with anime alone I never imagined there being copyright trouble.

>>59177353
Plex is incredibly easy to use

>>59177353
For PS3, you can either (usually losslessly) remux files into a container it accepts, or do it live with something like PS3 Media Server if you have a fairly powerful PC.

>>59177397
Oh man, I'm kind of stuck there.

I got a spot in DE, but when I started changing my mind, Matrix Algebra was full. Is it worth dropping DE and switching in a meme "you need a few classes in this area" class instead?

>>59177175
Typically, yes, but the OS will just allocate the cores as they become available. Don't be surprised if it only looks like it's running on 3 or less. If they are putting on a lot of load, they should use 4 cores.

What do you guys use cloud storage for? I'm racking my brains trying to figure out how it could be useful for me, but I'm probably just going to end up deleting my account.

>>59177420
If you aren't trying to build a huge ratio on a PT, you can find seedboxes for around $5/mo that will work nicely

>>59177441
I have my files in matlab or whatever else synced so that when they are edited any changes are uploaded to the cloud folder so working between desktop and laptop is practical

>>59177426
No, do as much maths as you can possibly stand. If you contact the lecturer for matrix Algebra, they might be able to fit you in when someone else drops out.

Are there any e-mail providers that are as secure, or at least close to being as secure as Gmail?

>>59177420

Thanks for the responses everyone.

So this plex thing do I just put it on some type of computer and plug it into my TV?

I've seen some setups here that you don't even need to use mouse and keyboard with, how do I achieve that?

>>59177497
Chromecast/Shit like Chromecase

>>59177500
You get a $20 amazon stick that works great and fine (even with voice control so you can just mouth out the file name) and then the server on plex.tv is all self explanatory there

Well I did find a way, though it seems retardedly roundabout. Made a batch file with the following contents:

echo "C:\Programs\Applications\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" %1 > "E:\Programs\Applications\Misc Scripts\FFMinTask.bat"
schtasks /run /tn "Start Firefox Minimized"

and had the "Start Firefox Minimized" task in task scheduler point to the batch file that is generated here, and run it hidden. (First batch file is necessary because I couldn't find a way to pass an argument to a task in the task scheduler.) Then the first batch file can be run minimized and everything works as intended.

Or, it did until I tried to use this for JDownloader's browser loop, at which point it failed to do anything at all... Fuck. Ah well, I'll just give up and disable the browser loop for now. Let the guys at 9kw deal with slightly harder captchas I guess.

>>59178513
>best economy ssd

MyDigitalSSD and Transcend are the cheapest you can go but they're obviously bad in performance and reliability.

Last time i checked Crucial MX's and BX's were the best for price/performance but performance wise Samsung 9xx are the best, of course if you're limited to Sata3 and mSata ports you wont be using the full speed of these drives since they're made to run over PCI-E lanes.

Avoid kingston V300 drives if you can, they were great at launch, did great at performance/price ratio but then they switched their NANDs chip for some slower ones, without changing the name or the price of the units, so basically bait and switch tactics.

Stupid question coming in,

I now can't run any x64-bit programs on my x64 Win7 OS anymore. Keeps popping up with some error codes or when I try run x64 games through Steam, it does nothing.

Anyone else encounter this issue?

>>59178843

String phrase = "ShopOne 5000 USA";
String[] words = phrase.split(" ");

words[1] should contain 5000.

Of course that's a lazy way to do it, a much better way its using a regex to search for numeric values.

>>59178004

Do you know how can I do the same in autohotkey?
The reason why I use pulover's MC is because I just can't wrap my head around the commands when it comes to AHK.

At the time of me building my PC, the 850 pro was considerably better than the Evo. It had much better write speeds, the rad speeds were about the same.

how come when I look at my wi-fi connection properties the speed reads 50-60 mbps but my download speed tops off at 1.5 megabyte/s? shouldn't it be like 6 or higher?

Are kindles the best ereader?

I still have an old Kindle Keyboard 3G from when they were pretty much the only ereader. The battery has died/started dying though, so I have been considering getting a new ereader.
Also looking at buying replacement batteries from Chyna but that shit will take a good month to ship.

did a speed test and it was 20 mbps
so is 50-60 to the network but not the actual internet?

I'm getting a 5-6 C difference between higherst and lowest cores when running P95. is likely due to bad thermal compound application, or some issue with the chip?

>>59179916
I wouldn't read too much into it, probably variation in sensor calibration/die layout

Is it true that once you go over 100Hz/FPS, you never go back to 60?

If the 1080Ti is faster and cheapèr than the Titan then why would anyone buy a Titan?

Is the Titan made exclusively for >enthusiast retards who think they're superior to the rest of the world because they have the most pointlessly expensive stuff?

The titan xp has been out for 6 months, and for that period of time it was the fastest. Eventually there will be another card that will be faster.

So, External HDD 1 died. It was the most up to date.

Well I can get a new battery for <$30 and keep my worldwide 3G hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy-style kindle.
I was considering upgrading instead but it seems like the only real difference between the new versions and mine is getting a backlight.

is there any way to access deleted videos from youtube?
the one i'm specifically trying to watch was accessed by a google search result, so it can't be completely gone right?
i don't think it's a region-block issue because it would have specified that right?

all it says is "this video is not available"
but how unavailable can it be if i'm getting a page at all?
how do i access the video?

So my college's wifi help sheet says to use the student wifi but there's two of them, one that says "Student" and "[College]-Student" the latter being flagged as unsecured
The guide online says to login using some credentials with a username and password as pictured
The unsecured connection just goes through and doesn't give any prompts but remains at "No internet connection"
Meanwhile the secured one only asks for a network key and not a username/password (and I have tried imputing both to this without avail)

How do I get such a prompt? How the fuck do I connect to these networks?

Hey /g/
I'm gathering parts for a PC that I'll be building by the end of this month. I have all the essentials figured out and I'm starting to think about audio now. I'm basically at square one right now and I don't really know what all I'll need to get the kind of sound I want.
I'd prefer to use a quality pair of monitors but I have no idea what I would need to use them. Do I need a sound card? An audio interface? An amp?
I can post my parts list if that matters.

Are there any Raspberry Pi like devices but with SATA controller? Google says Banana Pi, anything else?

>>59181173
Try searching for "linux cheat sheet".

>>59181478
Some speakers are passive, some have their own amp. You can get a simple stereo amplifier, like the DTA-1, if you plan to only ever use two speakers. For surround sound, you'll need something like home theater receiver. The audio output already on the motherboard won't be terrible, but a card or external DAC can often sound a little better.

Don't get "studio monitors" for media consumption. They're made to sound accurate, not necessarily enjoyable, and you pay a premium for that deliberately calibrated flatness.

Hey /g/
I had to shut down my pc after it froze running some heavy programs, but now it doesn't stay on for longer than 5 minutes. It either freezes or shuts down, but in the latter case the CPU is still running, as if the computer tries to turn back on, but it doesn't actually do so. I don't think it is an overheating issue, the fan seems to be working at normal speeds. What the fuck causes this and how can I fix it?

I'm interested in some external storage for backup purposes.
Should I buy a couple of HDD + enclosure or just buy external drives? At least were I'm from, the price difference between HDD + enclosure and external drives is considerable (HDD is cheaper).

I would move some folder from my pc to the backup device once a couple of months, not interested in automation or anything else. Something that would be a big plus is a way to password protect access to my backup storage.

OpenSUSE is good. Otherwise Ubuntu is usually all you need. And then use your computer as a means to an end, and find some ends if you don't have any. Dorks who spend all their time "learning Linux" couldn't pass the most basic Linux certification exams.

You should have a good 2.0 before you look at adding the .1

You really won't be wanting a subwoofer most of the time if you have decent woofers. Those cheap 2.1 systems have subwoofers to poorly compensate for not even having woofers.

Look at "bookshelf speakers" or similarly sized speakers made by real audio companies.

{
  float i,j;
  int k;

  printf("Enter i: ");
  scanf("%f", &i);

  printf("Enter j: ");
  scanf("%f", &j);

  k = (i < j) - (i>j);

  printf("%d\n", k);

  return 0;

These three lines are why you never get an interactive bash shell.

not with ciscso hardware itself

with this all being said, you want to feel more confident?
You NEED to invest in to your home lab and play with it.
buy old c2d, setup windows server on it, setup domain on your home network for one or two PCs
play with active directory

buy another old c2d machine, setup pfsense on it, shoutout to /r/pfsense
its a firewall and everything in one opensource, profesional solution
setup VPN, play WITH it,

buy switch that can mirror ports, read boot on wireshark,... sniff your own trafic to find where the problems are in the network..

learn python for even the basic fucking automation

theres so much to do... and it all can be done realatively easy in short time
not deep profesional knowledge, but enough to feel confident that you can outpace some jerkwad who barelly knows what a protocol is

Deinterlacing: "automatically activate deinterlacing when needed (if in doubt, deactivate deinterlacing)". "Only look at pixels in the frame center" unchecked.
Artifact Removal: "reduce banding artifacts" and "reduce ringing artifacts" both unchecked
Chroma Upscaling: Bicubic75 with anti-ringing filter activated
Image Downscaling: DXVA2
Image Upscaling: DXVA2
General Settings: "delay playback start until render queue is full", "enable windowed overlay", "use Direct3D 11 for presentation", "present a frame for every VSync", "use a seperate device for presentation", and "use a seperate device for DXVA processing" all checked. Everything else is unchecked.
Dithering: Ordered Dithering
Smooth Motion: "Enable smooth motion frame rate conversion...only if there would be motion judder without it" checked.
Trade Quality for Performance: "store custom pixel shader results in 16bit buffer instead of 32bit" and "don't rerender frames when fade in/out is detected" both checked. Everything else is unchecked.

If it's relevant, I'll be mostly watching stuff on a 40in Samsung SmartTV hooked up to my laptop with an HDMI cord.

Feel free to also give suggestions for the other options not listed above.

You can't stop the gov from gaining info from you. It's all in what you give out. Most companies don't give a shit about a nerd playing hearthstone. If you saw my likes on fb it's literally all nerd news and games.

There's nothing you can do about it dude.

Is there no reason to get a 144hz monitor if I don't really exceed past 60fps on the games I play with my current graphics card?

>>59185510
I never said anything about that at all! I am not superior to any one here!

>>59185597
Neat, and nvm I just noticed I only have 60~ fps when the game settings are maxed out. With low I get over 500 and medium I get 300+.
I guess I'll buy a 144hz now. Thank you!

I have a 120 but do most non-game stuff on my 60 matte IPS. It's nicer to look at.

My asus 7970 just died (comp hardfreeze complete with looping sound and scrambled image), no signal out whatsoever and no bios beeps. Fans spin and LEDs work but otherwise seemingly dead. Tried all the outputs. Any ideas? Or rather - Is it a bad time to buy a new GPU? Are the 1060s good? Is the pretty big jump to 1070 worth it? Are the 480s good? Should i wait? Fuck

>Uncle runs a sign shop

Now that his computer is old enough for a quarter-life crisis he's worried about the need for a backup machine. Is a VM on a modern PC likely to satisfy his needs? Apparently he's been talking to a techy friend about building up a 3.1 compatible PC. Predictably there has been no progress on that front.

what's the difference between ./, source and .

>>59185801
Right now, $200 + labor can get a replacement. That old hardware was built to last, because PC setup cost about $3500 in today's money. I'd do it for $1000 total.

Ok so i just upgraded my wife's ram to 16gb...and since my system has 2 unused slots I tried adding her old ram to my system...however now my system isn't booting. This is known good ram...and these ram slots have never been used.

What the hell should I be checking to make this work...what could I be overlooking?

Where does the 4chan thread watcher store data? I accidentally have 2 thread watchers in firefox. One shows up when on /g/ and another shows up on any other board. They do not share data and it's annoying to have to go to the /g/ board to watch threads for /g/.

>>59186265
try your old ram sticks in the other slots without the new ones.
then the new ram sticks in the old slots without the old ones.
you could also only try one stick at a time.

he's not saying 60 looks better than 144
he's saying 60 plus IPS looks better than 144 without IPS

you can of course get a 144hz IPS monitor, it'll just be more expensive

>>59179165
bump
still haven't figured it out

>>59186310
Ok ram guy here again...the old stick work in the new slots...the new sticks work in the old slots.

Everything works fine...unless I put all 4 sticks in the it doesn't boot...what could cause this???

>>59185778
First of all try pulling the video card out and running on your onboard graphics to verify whether or not it's the gpu that blew, or at least that the rest of the system survived.

>>59186430

>>59186437
Are the old sticks and the new sticks different specs? They're probably not compatible with each other.

>>59186531
>not compatible
if they all fit in the mobo they are all compatible
they'll just run at the speed of the slowest RAM in the bunch

Got it fixed...was an issue with msi shitty bios...reset bios settings installed all 4 sticks and it booted fine.

Redid my bios settings and it's smooth sailing now apparently.

Also in case anyone was curious yes they were all the exact same thing. Pny anarchy 4gb 1866mhz.

Now it's 4x4gb.

Thanks for all responses.

So, I just had a bit of a bizzare bug on my computer. I was listening to music through a bluetooth speaker from my laptop, when suddenly it disconnected from the speaker. I tried to reconnect, but for whatever reason, I no longer have any bluetooth option in my control panel. I checked the device manager and it seems like the bluetooth "devices" are disabled. I tried reinstalling the driver, but it didn't change anything. Any ideas whats going on?

Anyone seen the Windows 10 start menu go haywire like this? It can't even find apps.

>>59186485
Motherboard doesn't have onboard graphics (asus p6t v2). System is fine, running with an old HD 5870 now. I guess i'll just have to get a new card. The pci-e 2.0 won't be a bottleneck right? My i7 920 is still running strong at 4ghz so i'm not exactly thrilled about the idea of buying motherboard/CPU/RAM just because my GPU shat itself.

so apparantly I can't use an audio usb interface as well as a wireless pci card.
as it causes crackling in the audio if both are used, but if the wireless card is disabled the audio is perfect.

has anyone heard of this problem before?
is it a windows 7 only problem? i looked around and saw that the usb driver is dodgy for this.
i have a 650w psu and a decent cpu so i really don't think it's a throttling problem

any one have any idea about this?

>>59186898
Shouldn't be enough to matter. Still better than nothing, amirite?

In Java, is there a way of having a switch statement have two cases?
Example:
case tests to see if the expression is 10 OR 11

>>59185778
1060 or 480 is enough for 1080p gaming, 1070 is already overkill for that and pricey

Really unless you want the highest tier shit you should just buy a 1060 or 480. No point waiting to see if Vega can compete with 1070+ stuff

>>59187082

switch(something) {
    case 10:
    case 11:
        doSomethingWith10Or11();
    break;
}

It's called fall-through.

Anyone happen to use opensuse? I'm having trouble connecting to a new wireless internet connection. I set it up originally during the install but since then I've moved and I can't get it to connect to my new connection.

Link to components?

Do you guys know of a cheap wifi usb adaptor that actually works? I have been looking at reviews and nothing under $20 seems to be worth it.

>>59187294
You can buy a 386 cheap on ebay. Then you just need a desktop with PATA/IDE to get things set up.

>>59187285

is the sensor just broken?

>>59185801
I assume there's some kind of standard for what the PC sends the machinery, it would have been implemented in other software that runs on current operating system.

Any reason to choose exfat over ntfs for an external hard drive on windows 7?

How do I modify the trackpoint speed considerably on a thinkpad x220 on Ubuntu/Linux mint?
I've put the mouse speed and sensitivity sliders on the gui setting page to full and it's still not fast enough

>>59187330
Look at the chipsets on the adapters, anything Intel Centrino will be top of the line. Atheros, ralink and Broadcom chipsets have mixed quality so you have to research and compare each chip.

>>59186714
Windows 10?, i have recently got this problem too, a quick restart fix it, i haven't found what causes but its probably some bug in Windows.

Is it stupid to buy a used radiator? Found a Corsair H100i v2 for half off used, very tempting.

I'm trying to remove the "telemetry" updates on Windows 7, I accidentally installed all recommended updates instead of choosing them myself. Will this work?
https://github.com/CodeMason/aegis-voat

Is there something else I can do, like manually deleting them in the terminal? Thanks in advance.

>>59188034
those closed water loops are awful.
louder than a good air cooler and only yield you 1-2C.
don't bother.

For you

>>59188049
I suppose you don't have a system restore point before the updates right, windows usually makes one before installing updates.

aegis-voat should work but it does a lot of other stuff too so check carefully that it wont interfere with your system.

In Java, if I want to check if an element of an array is empty, can I check if it is null?
Are empty parts of arrays considered null? Or some different value/type of value?

I actually don't have a restore point, but I'm going to have to do a clean reinstall around August if that would help.

I'll see if Aegis doesn't interfere, thank you so much.

>>59188241
they are null only for non primitive type arrays.

I read a lot of hate for VLC player but it's the best player I know. Is there a better one?

SMPlayer with MPV as an engine.

VLC has shit colors and other issues

Making a very basic text game in Java and I'm unsure of how to structure the classes.
At the moment, the Character class can do lots of stuff, like attack(), pickupItem(), move(), getItemFromInventory() and so on.
Is this the proper way to structure it? Or should I have things like picking up items be in the Item class, and attack() in a combat class?
At the moment, Item basically only has a name for the object and a method to get that object.

Still getting used to OOP.
