Unless you are currently using 4-wired 100Mb/s cable and your internet connection speed is over 100Mb/s, no.

Had a follow up question with this:
So if I have a brand new Dell and want to utilize YUMI to sneak Windows 7 on via a thumbdrive...

Would I need to configure anything special to the Win7.iso, like the dell drivers?

If not, would the Dell drivers be able to run in Win7 environment? I specifically have a Dell Inspiron 15 5567. I understand many of you say "it depends on the chipset" if the drivers will work. Is there a way I could check?

I'm at my friends house and we're looking to play Rainbow 6 Siege together. He bought his through Steam, I bought mine through Uplay. His computer doesnt currently have the game installed, and the internet where we are is pretty slow, so it would take an age. I have Siege installed on my computer through Uplay alone - my question is, can I transfer a backup copy of the folder of Siege to his computer, and then have Steam recognize it and run it?(Or since you have to go through Uplay anyway, have uplay run it?)

I found some tutorials of transferring games from uplay to uplay and steam to steam, but not from uplay standalone to a steam-based uplay version.

Videos aren't good for beginners.
Get a textbook and just tank it- a hundred or so pages in you'll know the fundamentals. Learn something easy like Java or C# to understand the basics of programming. The teaching resources for these two languages are much more vast, open and easier to understand. When you learn one language, it's easier to learn others.

I've started a small business to sell a service that would benefit a lot of people, but the one guy who was supposed to be my sales guy is a strung out coke fiend so I have to make calls myself.

So I want to repackage my service as a product and sell it. I need to make a desktop application that pulls information from public sites based on the user's information, puts that data into in certain fields, then exports those fields to specific PDF files. What's the best way to go about doing this?

I've used expressvpn and downloaded hundreds of torrents and I've never had a problem with it. If you really want to be secure, get a seedbox. Its like $10 a month and it uploads for you so you never have to worry about your ratio on private trackers.

But for VPNS, I would recommend mullvad. Its much cheaper than express vpn.

you are not "fooling" the computer into thinking it´s installing win10
and i may have to clarify that this is only to provide drivers for the installation process nothing more
because (and i assume you had a problem with this) if you want to install win7 it will only work if it has the necessary drivers (chipset drivers if i remember correctly?) if not you would be unable to install it

in regards of the question weither the dell drivers would run in win7 that simply depends on if there´s a driver for it somewhere because (at least in my experience) if it´s compatible the producer of the hardware (not dell but realtek for example) will release the drivers but you will not be able to just go on and use the drivers w10 has on w7 at least in most cases i guess

I'm thinking of installing Ubuntu with the minimal ISO because I hate how Ubuntu normally preloads lots of crap and I don't know the package names for all the bloat. Would the minimal iso omit anything important?

I used to use msdn to check hashes for Windows isos, but now I get this.

Anyone know what the deal is? Am I just fucked?

>>60876629
you should try mint if you hate how heavy ubuntu feels.

>>60876632
depends on how much you can be bothered with hunting drivers that might only be available from suspicious Russian websites
I have a 7th gen cpu too
and it took me quite some searching to get everything done
the worst were the chipset drivers
that´s why i permanently moved on to arch on it

and if you are really set on using win7 and you don´t want to search drivers like that
i´d recommend when you return this one, to check if the new one you´d buy has the necessary win7 drivers offered by dell and the likes before buying it

>>60876662
visit the new portal?
i don´t see the problem there

>>60876722
>visualstudio.com

Obviously that doesn't have shit

>>60876632
It will be a pain to say the least. Also win 7 doesn't do updates on the latest gen of processors, so you'll need to at least do a hack if you want security updates on that model.

>>60876710
I hate mint even more than Ubuntu. Plus it's developers are incompetent that's the worst distro for security.

>>60876753
you should try arch if don´t want tons of crap preloaded
and it´s quite comfy if you can follow basic instructions once

>>60876731
just cause it´s called visualstudio.com doesn´t mean that they don´t offer the other stuff there.
after all Microsoft wouldn´t just remove your non visualstudio subscriptions would it?

In vim, is there a way to search for two strings and have them match only if they are within a specified proximity of each other?

>>60876764
I don't have any subscriptions. It just used to let me look at the available downloads and see their hashes, even if I couldn't download them there.

I guess it's telling me to fuck off, but it's bullshit and doesn't really make sense. I was wondering if there is any other way to see the hashes other than just trusting some guy that claims to have a subscription.

So what the fuck is there to do in the fast-approaching future for someone who wants to remain on Windows 7 but with new hardware (like new Intel processors, latest mobs and shit)?

Kaby Lake + future chips only supports win10, apparently no one makes drivers for new computers/laptops for Win7.

Do I:
1.) give up because it's impossible
2.) research endlessly for work arounds, peruse hobbyist forums for like-minded individuals and hope that user patches are made
3.) feel like an idiot because it's really not this hard
4.) fuck it all and switch to Linux?

I know end result is #4, but for proprietary school shit and games I can't be arsed right now.

Thank you again for your input!

>>60876711
Yarg, that's what a friend is warning me about right now. I'll check on other models that the store was selling and see if they have W7 drivers. I will certainly make use of YUMI eventually though, thank you for the info!

I'm in a living complex with internet as a provided utility. right now I have my router set up in wireless bridge mode, but the connection is shit. there's an ethernet jack on the wall that I'm assuming will let me connect to the same network somehow. how do I configure my router to use the wired internet connection, but keep my shit on a seperate subnet?

Anytime I try to install something from the Aur I get errors. this includes Metate week which I don't want to use matay without and KDE connect which failed to do anything no matter which version I installed. if anything should break are we unable to focus on anythingfor the several days will take me to fix it. I would use Solus if it could run KDEconnect.

>>60876859
Yeah, I'd say do windows 8, but they're cutting updates to that too. Microsoft really are great pulsing dicks. If you just need browsing/office, there are a shitton of thinkpads etc that will work great for you.

get qemu or the likes and run win7 in it until you completely move to linux

>>60876879
hmm that sucks of course
you could go with antergos maybe? (not sure how much bloat they install)
but in my experience their repo is less volatile than aur and it´s still not as bloated as most i´ve used besides it

>>60876869
Literally just use your router's default settings. You'll have a closed NAT type and added latency, but your file sharing etc will be isolated. I'd think about how important that is to you and consider just joining the network at large.

Only thing I'm worried about is it has only 4Gb ram and it's not upgradable.

I've been working with 4Gb with my current laptop for the last 4 years and I've never had any complaints about performance, but I'm worried that I might need more in the future.

I only really use it for college (no video/photo editing or gaming) and watching movies/series.

You guys reckon I should look for something with more RAM or will I be fine?

>>60876931
I forgot to mention that I'm using ddwrt. so all I have to do is plug my router into the wall and shut off the antenna and automatic configuration will make everything just werk?

Can I use an external mechanical drive to boot live usbs? Dongles are too slow to write to.

I need to enable DirectPlay in Windows 7 but the Legacy Components section in Turn Windows Features On or Off is missing. How do I enable it now?

>>60877078
>shut off the antenna
If you want a wired-only connection, sure. The network setup should detect your connection just fine. Routers pretty much default to being routers, so it doesn't take anything special to nest yours behind the main one. It won't be a great setup for gaming/torrenting/voip, but a lot of people get by alright on it.

>>60877020
If you using Linux, probably not. If you using Windows I'm sure we'll get even shittier in their future end I need to let three or four gigs of RAM instead of 2.

How much longer until you graduate? DESU, anything less than five years and you should just go for the 4gigs.

I was thinking about that. I've got a 2010 Samsung that's actually of decent quality (nothing like thinkpad) that has the most minimal W7 setup a non comp-sci major could possible throw together. Only issue is that battery life caps at 2hrs unplugged. Slowly dying and can't fully charge.

A month ago, I got a google voice number after using an android app to receive the 6 digit code. After I closed the window, my number went away, and I could no longer receive calls from the number that I chose (I think from Tennessee or something), so it tells me that I can choose a number.
I click that link, and it leads me to choose a number from different cities. I choose a New York number, and then it tells me to put my phone number so that I can receive a 6 digit code like last time.
Well, I put the phone number, and it says that I can't use that number. What the fuck is this?

It looks and sounds great but has a 30sec+ delay even with the "reduce delay" beta option.

My friend and I tried Skype screen share, Nvidia Geforce stream share, Google Hangouts, Twitch and Mixer. Why is this so difficult? 15fps, 1-2 second delay. Doesn't seem hard. Every program we try fixes one issue, but brings up another. Google hangouts has 3fps. Skype screen share has good fps but no audio sharing. Geforce only supports 3 games. Mixer's delay is insane like Twitches.

Samsung 850 EVO is pretty much the /g/ recommended model. Mine is 250GB and it's been great. The newer ones are Samsung 750 EVO and Intel 600p, and they're still good, but not as certain of a track record as the 850 EVO.

Do you have to buy AyyMD? Intel equivalents are still better for gaming with the price dips.

Otherwise gaming performance is similar enough that you might as well go 1600 to save money (even though you said it doesn't matter).

>>60877795
850 EVO is the gold standard.
Minimum 240GB or more.
120GB are slower and last less because how they are made.

>>60878455
>money is not a factor
Then go for Intel since the main use will be gaming.

Do you want to play video games with jpegs? Maybe I'm frustrated of asking a question, or seeing someone ask a question, and getting fucking retarded answers or suggestions back. His reply made me wonder if I was actually on the steam forums. Works for me :^) I'll pm you answer!

>>60878518
bump

>>60878508
Not him but sending video is more complicated than images.
With video you have to handle encoding, then nonstop upload of the video.

With a image it takes nothing and its send and received instantly.
You are playing a fucking VN, not a 144FPS videogame.

Streaming is somewhat resource intensive, why do you think twitch all people in twitch have a 8-10 second delay, MINIMUM.

>>60878627
I have the resources, that's not the problem. It's garbage services that arbitrarily add a 30 second delay blanket to everyone because of 3 idiots.

Do these jpegs play sound? If not, why the fuck would I want to play a soundless game with a friend? Music, voice acting, sound effects, cause it's not like that shit is important or anything...

>>60878616
Maybe re-read the answer and find out who the real retard is in this situation. 'Sending jpegs' is how VNC works internally. For most intents and purposes, it's streaming video.

>>60878616
MJPEG is a pretty effective encoding system when low latency is desired and, since there's no inter frame dependency. That's why VNC uses it (among other options)

what about these:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/

>>60879504
What's the problem? Do you receive an error?

It's worth noting you ended your print statement and are basically doing nothing with that squareroot calculation.

>>60879504

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    float result = 0;

    result = sqrt(9);
    printf("Square root of 9: %f\r\n", result);

    return 0;
}

Put "\r\n" at the end of your printf string. C doesn't add this automatically. If you don't do this, your output will just spew on a single line.
You have to explicitly tell C what to print, otherwise it won't output anything.
Look up how printf formatting works. The %f tells printf to insert a floating point number there, and the number used is the second argument to the function.

The arguments to main(int argc, char *argv[]) are:
argc - the number of arguments given to the program at runtime
argv - the array of "string" arrays of the actuall arguments.

I am really confused.
So I have my Switch setup pretty wonky but it works.

So to explain what's going on you'll need to understand the setup:

I have my Switch's HDMI going out to an HDMI to VGA cause I have an old VGA monitor that is alright and it just works. As for the sound, I have it going thru an aux cord down to my 2nd computer's mic off the top of the Switch. When I plug it in and play, I can this square sounding buzz coming thru. I tested it on a normal HDMI TV (It's not my TV and I never go in the living room when my step dad is in there). I didn't get the static out of it. So to make sure it wasn't the aux port on my Switch, I plugged the stereo directly into my Switch. Found out, it wasn't the issue.

So I think it's the HDMI to VGA. I have concluded my issue

>OK anon, what do you need help with then?

Why does that happen? Are they running at different voltages that is messing with the Switch's dock causing the square sound to come out? I tested it also with my headphones/bluetooth speaker (aux in), and got the same thing.

If anyone has a possible answer I thought it would be /g/

So if it's NOW on youtube, no longer streaming and saved to it, cause we all know there are several people doing it, WHERE the fuck do they have that much storage? They have to have several million petabytes there. If data is this cheap, why is it not to the public?

a bulk order of a mere million bucks can probably get you a metric fuckload of space

looking at current retail prices (damn they're a lot cheaper than last time a looked), it around $100 for 4TB, or $25 per TB, so even retail a million dollars will get you 40,000 TB (40 petabytes!)

>>60882598
Google has $100 billion of yearly revenue, sure they can afford some hard drives

Plus, IIRC they were using scrap hardware when they were starting out, and they still probably do

>>60882773
Well I know about bulk (I goto sams!) and if they can do it that cheap, why can't they sell it as cheap? I read that a company is working a diamon hard drive. Suppose to be able to keep way more data.

If you can't read, you won't be able to learn how to program even in BASIC, because MSDN is in text form, not in a video form

Where can I find an apk for the contacts app from lineageos? My stock one is so fucking slow.

Does anyone know how to remove CPPFLAGS when compiling a program, specifically Firefox? Using export CPPFLAGS+= works fine when adding them but export CPPFLAGS-= results in an error. I'm trying to get rid off -fno-omit-frame-pointer and replace it with -fomit-frame-pointer.

I'm about to build a new computer because my old one died.
Salvaging wasn't really an option because most parts were already quite old.

However I'm not too sure whether I should build and use it now, or after I'm moving away from here.
Transport is not an issue but it's more so the fact that the place were I currently live at, we have like 3 or 4 other computers connected to the same router.
They're all using cracked versions of Windows 7 and one of them has a lot of virusses on it because the person that owns the computer isn't very smart and she doesn't pay attention to what she's installing.

Could this possibly fuck up my computer in a way because I'm connected to the same router? Would it be better to wait until I move to my new place in like half a year and build it then?
Or are there ways I can isolate my PC / prevent my PC from getting infected being connected to the same router as all the other PCs?
Or is this not even possible?

Looking forward to reply
Sorry for my bad English, I try my best

It seems the Contacts app is located in /system/priv-app so you can't just install it like any other app which is probably why the APK isn't available.

I uploaded it here but yeah since this is /g/ you don't have to trust me, just trying to help you though.

http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=32019949943265676110

Download it and extract it then launch a terminal/command prompt from within the folder and run

adb root
adb remount
adb push Contacts /system/priv-app/
adb push ContactsProvider /system/priv-app/
adb reboot

Some important things:
1. It's probably a good idea to check first so the directories don't exist (you can use adb shell, then ls /system/priv-app | grep Contacts). If they do exist you should back them up by issuing adb pull /system/priv-app/Contacts and adb pull /system/priv-app/ContactsProvider.

2. Freezing your current Contacts app is probably a good idea.

3. Keep in mind that since the identifier is different your data will be stored in another location thus you'll need to migrate all the contacts.

As far as I know W10 has support for activation that's non-transferable (i.e. has no key) so it shouldn't really void the return policy since you can't return the laptop and keep the license

But just ask Costco support

Don't worry about it. Just make sure your shit's up to date and disable file/printer sharing. Maybe throw comodo firewall on there. And scan the fuck out of any flash drives you share.

Talking to people is kinda scary though.

If I bought a PS3 controller on eBay for $24 did I most likely get diddled with a cheap Chinese fake? Didn't even know that was a thing before I bought it but now I'm hella worried. Seller is located in the US and said he'll take it back no questions asked if I'm not happy, but it did take a lot of prodding for him to even say that he's sending me an official Sony controller in non-vague terms (though he did eventually do so) and he admitted he's dropshipping it from a supplier in Maryland.

>>60883402
Aye but I would like to start playing some new games and I have to create accounts and stuff so when my PC will be infected from the start, I might just wait a little irght?

>>60883389
I doubt it'll be an issue. OEM Windows licenses are tied to the motherboard anyway, so it's not like you activating it will fuck over the next person that buys it.

>>60883426
>>60883506
Also, what's the deal with the no key thing? Being told laptops don't come with Windows stickers anymore. If you had to reinstall windows 10, do they ask you for a key or serial # or anything? Or is it tied to your Microsoft account?

>>60883488
Hey, so I just update Windows 10 everytime an update is available, disable folder and printer sharing and that'd be enough?
I might check into comodo firewall but I'm always a bit hesitant on using these kind of software programs outside of what Windows has in it.
I won't share any flash drives.

Thanks for your quick and helpful answer :-)

>>60883533
It's tied to your motherboard. The sticker thing was an archaic system.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I TALK TO PEOPLE

>>60883608
Not liking to talk to people on the phone is a thing. Some people get over it, some people don't. Everybody's problems and reactions are different. They've studied kindergarteners and found that some people are born experiencing much more anxiety/emotional impact from interacting with others. Shit that is easy on some people might be hard wired to make others a nervous wreck, and require 10 times the effort to overcome. Different personalities and dispositions need different coping mechanisms and advice.

>>60883702
I'm making fun of the person, not the anxiety. I have anxiety too. I've had anxiety attacks. But the issue is that so many of us now live practically on the internet and don't socialize anymore in real life. There is no real "anxiety," if you think there is you've never truly socialized.

>>60883743
You did literally nothing wrong. You shouldn't feel like shit.

>>60883744
I do agree to a good bit of that, however the issue lies with the parents not trying to help them, not push them and make them understand it's not the worst thing in the world. Instead of trying to make it work, they pander to it and find a new means of it. "No Billy, you don't have to goto school today. We will let you stay home!" And you know what happens to Billy? He turns basically into Butters on South Park. He turns into a truly pansified dumbass who will whine about not having a GF, not having a life, not having friends and do you know why? Because he's too "scared" to go out and talk to them cause now all that shit that has happened, he now has a fear of confrontation.

>>60883805
It's easy to think you have all the answers, because you've found something that works for your problems.

>There is no real "anxiety," if you think there is you've never truly socialized.
Absolutely disagree. Some people are more successful than others in overcoming it, but it's fully possible to experience crippling anxiety no matter what your social experiences have been. And your attitude can make things much worse if you hard line it with the wrong people. There's a reason psychiatrists don't have "Just toughen up!" printed on their doors. I think it's great when people are able to stretch their horizons, but taking a demeaning, aggressive tone about it, and minimizing their struggle, definitely isn't helping.

how does bitcoin wallet work when its generating private keys for some address

1. there is no global data about who owns what wallet
2. you can start a PC offline, never connected to internet, run wallet, and generate yourself wallet with private keys
3. to that wallet you then send from anywhere coins and they are there accessible by you and your offline private keys
4. preventing the fact that two people could get same address is done by having gargantuan pool of addresses. More than there are atoms in the universe.

But how does the wallet generate the private keys for some chosen wallet?
Or is it other way around? First they generate private keys and that means some random wallet is tight to that?

The networked drive would not be accessible with sharing disabled, so you're good. Nothing is 100% guaranteed to be safe in digital security. If a world class hacker decided to hack his way directly from your sister's computer to yours, he might be able to. But modern OSes are designed to be pretty resistant to network attacks, so you should be good. If it really bothered you, the paranoid measures would either be comodo, or putting your computer behind its own router.

Where is a good place to learn redux and redux form in addition to the documentation?

I'm a bit insecure about my own compuer knowledge.

I'll try comodo then, I have no option to get another router unfortunately.

>>60883732
>My computer and data will be completely safe
No they're not. But the chances of getting intro trouble as long as you keep your OS updated and follow some basic computer hygiene rules are negligible, so you don't have to worry about that.

To be fair, your network is probably much less of a threat than sharing same space with your sister. If she'll decide to charge her phone off you PC while you're away, she might still give your computer HIV.

>>60884125
She won't touch my computer, that's for sure.

I've been using Puush through ShareX to upload screenshots and shit to send to friends, but its been giving me errors and stalling at 100% so I want to change.
What would you guys recommend I use instead?
I want to be able to:
-Upload shit without it being posted to the public
-Have it saved in an account
-Be able to upload other files and stuff like webms
-Not be restricted by upload limits
-Give only a direct link to whatever I'm uploading. Not linking to a page full of ads and shit.
I'm sure there are plenty of options in ShareX by default but I don't want to go through all of them one by one.

Would Google Drive do this? I don't know if it would share my account name or anything like that. I know one friend uses gyazo, but it looked limited to just images.

I guess multiple uploaders would work too if necessary since sharex does that automatically.
