I don't understand that at all, I come to these threads because my questions are genuinely stupid and I'm not savvy in internet/connection shit or hardware.
How can I use that information to get my answer?

>>61053620
The internet is a seires of tubes.It depends on what tubes you are taking to get to the testing server.
You could be going through tubes that go to the opposite side of the country.But if you used tubes that were in your state it would route faster.
It all depends on where the test servers are located at

What's the best way to add a deadline to your calendar in thunderbird?

>>61053620
Find what servers they are using (web inspector should show them) and run a traceroute to them. There are lots of servers/routers/cables between you and those servers. Some might be slow or further away. Routing algorithms are not perfect and sometimes take diversions for stupid reasons like economics.

Or the tests might just be shit.

alright so I got frex from f-droid repo on my old phone and now on my new phone I can't find it
can I someone just move the installed app or without root extract the apk

There was an explosion outside and now my internet is down
I hope that was nothing I did

>>61053635
>your speed will be faster if the test server is closer
Is all you had to say to make it simpler to understand.

That said I still get huge differences even if both tests use the same city for the test.

and this is a different matter altogether, but is it normal for an ISP's advertised speed to only match your speed when testing like, in your own city?
Messing with different test locations I noticed my speed drops drastically the further I get from where I live.

>>61053668
>Or the tests might just be shit.
Mind sharing how you check your connection, in case it is just the sites I use?
My original image was of Ookla's speed test, testmy.net, and the new built-in speed test Google provides when you search for "internet speed test".

I don't know of any others.

I just know I hate my ISP and want to find out if they're fucking me over or not.

>>61053684
There is an app call ApkShare on the play store, probably more too.

>>61053590
How do I youtube-dl as mp3 instead of a video format??? Also how do I download like 100 mp3's in one command?

>>61053725
>your speed will be faster if the test server is closer
>Is all you had to say to make it simpler to understand.
But that's not what he said though. The test site could be 3 blocks from your house, and if the routing detours to the other side of the country for some weird reason, the connection will still experience the effects.

>>61053757
First, you read the fucking manual. Then you take note of the arguments -x, --extract-audio "Convert video files to audio-only files" and --audio-format FORMAT "Specify audio format: "best", "aac", "vorbis", "mp3"..."

>>61053750
it's from android to b10

>>61053757
I use Mediahuman Youtube to mp3. It works pretty well, just be careful when installing. I can't remember but I'm sure it at least tries to get you to install some adware. Everything does.

>>61053725
The good one is dslreports.com/speedtest

It will track your scores until your IP changes.

>>61053782
Then why did he close with "it all depends on where the test servers are located at"?

I appreciate people that try to help in these threads but keep in mind they're literally meant for stupid question from people who might not understand what most of that post meant. The only part I caught was the last part, and it seemed simple enough for me.

>>61053815
I see, thanks. I've asked about speed tests in the past but never got straight answers, so I kept using the same old shit.

This site seems to agree with my Ookla results, so I guess testmy.net and that Google test are the ones that aren't getting shit right.

That's good to know but my connection still gets wonky sometimes. I guess I should try replacing my modem or router.

>>61053725

Pretty tough problem anon. But my years of expertise in computers have led me to the solution: you should look up and install either ffprobe or avprobe.
hope this helps

>>61053874
They also have forums that help answer a lot of questions, and provide advice specific to your ISP. You probably want to call up your ISP. There could be damage to your line causing intermittent problems (there's usually ways to see on the modem's admin page how many errors your getting), or your ISP could be getting peaks of traffic from other users in your area. Occasionally a better modem can pull a little better results, but I'd look into other areas first.

>>61053940
Windows is nagware these days. The only downside to not buying a license is that there is a persistent watermark on the bottom right saying "plz register or you will make clippy sad ;(" and you can't change the desktop background. Still get updates and all that shite.

MS should change the wallpaper to Inori Aizawa crying, saying about how you don't love her because you're not registered. Most of /g/ wouldn't be able to hold back having feels and buy a license within days.

>>61053854
It does depend on where they're at, but it's not quite as simple as "closer=better". The easiest way to think of the internet is probably like fedex. You can track the packages and see the different stops each one takes. Sometimes they take weird paths or stay in one location for a weirdly long time. Each chunk of data has to find its own way, and sometimes they take pretty inefficient ones that add a lot of time/instability or drop your overall speed to a given destination. Your ISP has a pretty big impact on the first couple of stops the data makes. If you're curious, you can see the path for yourself by doing something called a tracerout. It's kind of like looking up your tracking info on fedex.com, but for your internet packets.

>Watching a stream

Just going to take a wild guess but my power supply just died, didn't it?

>>61053984
You will have to reactivate. Windows recognizes a specific number on your mobo, if that changes out, windows automatically deactivates. You can pair your windows license to your microsoft account before the swap if your old mobo still boots, and that helps the process a little. Otherwise you'll probably have to use the automated phone system. It's no big.

>>61054125
don't see what the power supply would have to do with the fan
maybe some other component overheated and damaged itself.
i'd try taking the graphics card out first things first

>>61054129
This. But if everything is working you shouldn't even need to re-enter your key. But yeah, if you have a Microsoft account just go that route.

I'm trying to get dwm to properly display bitmap fonts. Since the switch to XFT I can't get it to render terminus correctly.

static const char *fonts[] = {
        "Terminus:size=14"
};

doesn't work since it renders Terminus as a vector font, complete with antialiasing, hinting, etc etc.
using xfontsel doesn't work either, it ONLY uses xft
any way to make xft render a bitmap font properly?

>>61054450
update: the problem wasn't xft or terminus, it's that sometime within the past months "Terminus" was renamed to "xos4 Terminus"

What brand of ADSL routers to buy?

I've been browsing /g/ for years and I don't ever remember ADSL routers being discussed.

All I managed to find out is routers with Broadcom chipsets are the best for shitty lines from aussies at whirlpool forum

Any other recommendation would be appreciated

>>61054697
you really want a separate modem and router if at all possible. Most routers are pretty shit, and the combo ones are the bottom of the barrel.

>>61054374
i'm sure there are much easier ways if you just want to pirate windows rather than register it legitimately

>>61054374
It's more that each motherboard has it's own, unchangeable serial number burned into the circuitry at the factory, and windows records that. Number doesn't match up, red flag.

>>61054804

>>61054798
Doubt it. A lot of things can corrupt/destroy data and using non-ECC RAM is pretty low on that list.

If it really concerns you, just backup your important data.

>>61054804
that is the responsibility of the DE/Window manager, is it not?

>>61055069
I have fairly regular backups, I just have no idea if my backups have flipped bits too (and if they do, it will probably propagate to new backups).

Have you tried changing the setting for "vertical axis crosses" from automatic to axis value 1960?

>>61055100
That's why you run comparisons when making your backups

>>61055263
comparisons against what? a second backup?
that sounds a bit complicated to set up.

almost makes me want to just put my video,image, and music directories into git and check for changes there.

I was going to buy a new monitor of amazon but it comes from US and I live in Australia. Will there be issues because of that or can I simply use standard Australian power cord instead of the one that would come in the box.

>>61055361
Switching out power cords should be fine. Regulating from 240-12V and 120-12V isn't appreciably different that they use different circuits.

Watch out for shipping costs though ;).

>>61055361
Check if it accepts 100-250v, 50/60 Hz. That's what universal power supplies are rated for.

>>61055383
>>61055394
thank you both.
also,
when i look at the monitors voltage it says 100-240v, 50/60. Is that still ok?

>>61055430
Yep, 240V is what comes out of your wall socket.

>>61055464
ok now i understand, thanks. i guess it can be anything within 100-250v

Air conditioning is technology. Would it be more efficient for every neighborhood to have just one centralized air conditioner that's connected to a bunch of homes via underground air ducts? IDK it just seems a bit wasteful for every house to have it's own air conditioner.

>>61055811
Will never catch on because it sounds too much like communism, despite how much more efficient it might be

>>61055811
sounds a bit dangerous security-wise though, despite water already being an attack vector like that.

>Would it be more efficient for every neighborhood to have just one centralized air conditioner that's connected to a bunch of homes via underground air ducts?
Depends on insulation and shit.

I need a free email service with smtp that won't block the account on suspicious activity for a few auto-generated status emails from a raspberry pi.

>>61055811
I think individual units these days are probably more efficient than using one central system. A lot of cities used to provide steam for heating that was generated centrally, but individual units became efficient and affordable and made central generation undesirable. Not to mention energy lost when people set their thermostats differently.

>use a heat pump if you want high efficiency heating and cooling.

My GPU won't recognize my second monitor for extension.
They work separately. My HDMI is 1080p and the VGA one is 900p.
If I have both plugged in, only the HDMI one works, and the VGA is left on standby. When I unhook the HDMI, the VGA turns on, but keeps the 1080p resolution (can just fix it, though)

It's not detecting any 2nd monitor even with both hooked up. I also tried using my TV, no dice. It just lets me have 1 monitor at a time, no matter the combination.
It used to work before, and I'm using a DVI-D to VGA adapter.

>>61055887
Sounds like a driver issue. Uninstall and upgrade.

>>61055989
Duh, that's why it's in red. You could boil water on that thing. Clean your vents and put some non-shit thermal paste on that.

>>61056100
What about the GPU? It uses a thermal pad but it's still hot.
And also the fan isn't even spinning up 100%.

>>61056123
Put paste on that too. Use something with silver in it. Clean your vents too. Just crack it open and blast it with compressed air. If that doesn't help then replace the fan. I've had a fan go bad on me like that, it runs and you think it works but then you go into thermal shutdown. Also make sure that you use it on a solid flat surface.

>>61056171
But then the GPU won't touch the heatsink directly. It will only make contact through the thermal paste. Is that alright?

>>61056182
That's the point. The paste gets in all those microscopic holes that the apparantly sheer metal surfaces don't actually touch.

I am looking to build a home server using the C236 WSI motherboard. I want to use a Kabylake Xeon since it has a higher clock frequency and has native H.265 support on the iGPU.

There is a update that ASRock released to support the new Kabylake series but I am not sure whether my motherboard will come with the updated BIOS or the old version. Do I need to buy a Skylake processor just to update the BIOS to the newer version or can I do it with the Kabylake xeon installed?

>>61056497
It's the opposite. The pound now trades higher than euros (last time I looked.)

>>61056667
Wouldn't the relevant comparison be vs USD when talking about apple products? GBP is at like 1.2 USD now vs 1.4 right after brexit.

>>61056527
Assuming left is desktop, upgrade your RAM with a kit that includes two modules. You're running single-channel, and that hampers bandwidth to CPU. Go to 8 GB, that should be good enough.

Assuming right is laptop, upgrade RAM there, too. Also buy in a kit. Modules should match.

Consider buying a small SSD to use as a boot drive on both. SSDs are probably the most effective speed upgrade for any system.

>>61056695
Yeah, should've mentioned that I was comparing vs USD. But a year ago euro was trading at 1.60, now it's like 1.10, but haven't checked today.

>>61056709
A year ago the euro was about 1.10 USD
Today its at about 1.10 USD

1 bit flipped will corrupt 0.25-1 blocks (128-512 bytes), I think ext4 will handle this.
If it's in the first 128 bytes, 1 block dies. If it's in the first 256 bytes, 0.75 blocks die, and so on. The entire drive won't die, but the effect will be somewhat stronger.

I'm currently on my Macbook to install some test software, but since it requires 10.9, I need to update. The problem is, when I tried to update through the app store, it got 4.6 out of the 5GB download, and since then it isn't going further.
I've tried restarting, but to no avail. Also tried mounting an old ISO from El Capitan that I had, but again, to no avail.

So you're saying I should transfer my pepes to a secondary machine via some sort of physical memory device for safe storage.

>>61058184
Open Launchpad, delete the installer. If it's not there or doesn't delete,
>sudo rm -rf /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app
or whatever it's named. Also, look for instructions about enabling the App Store debug menu. Clear cache, reset application, and open the downloads folder and purge it.

Do you think I should get a 32GB USB flash drive for this or I can get away with 16 GB?

>>61058292
USB doesn't function over five meters. I forget why, some timing issues due to not having a clock pin. Inline repeaters, powered off the same power pins work to re-synch the signal though. Maybe they are called active cables, I don't remember.

>>61058534
If you want to boot into a Loonix desktop then go with 32GB. More space never hurt anybody.

>>61058407
You get a bigger e-peen.

I don't use it because I am was already comfortable with sysvinit and nothing has broken yet. If you are already using it and there is no blatant reason to switch then don't.

I don't use loonix except for clonezilla and gparted, so I have no contribution here.

>>61058984

>>61058984
I think AMD decided to support 7 themselves, there just isn't any support from Microsoft. Intel probably sees no point in supporting such an old OS, and I agree.

>>61059214

Yes, drop-in replacements. Pale Moon might be more difficult if your extensions don't have backward compatibility, but if you dislike Australis and want to capture the old Mozilla, it's great.

should be fine, if it's on something soft enough to easily depress with a finger, then you're good, provided it can't slide off or hit anything (like if it's near a door and there's nothing between it and the door)

I'm learning Haskell too, apparently it takes a long time to calculate 4000000 numbers, but something like this

fibonacci :: Int -> Int
fibonacci x
    | x <= 1    = x
    | otherwise = fibonacci (x-1) + fibonacci (x-2)

fibSum = sum [y | y <- [fibonacci z | z <- [1..30]], y `mod` 2 == 0]

takes a few seconds and returns 1089154

Is there any noticeable differences in sound quality (headphones) between different smartphones? I just replaced my broken OPO with a G4, and I swear the same tracks with the same headphones sound better on the OPO. If there ARE noticeable differences, what should I be looking for on a spec sheet? Thanks in advance.

Let's assume I want to pirate Super Mario Run by bypassing that surprise purchase screen.
How does pirating .apk files (mostly the ones that are games) in general works?
