Is there a node module that generates qr code png images (base64 strings)?

Pebble time or Moto 360 1st gen or something else?
I like custom watch faces can the pebble do that with any wallpaper I want? What are good apps for either?

Mac or Linux?

My fucking dog bit my phone.

How do you browse youtube videos by most recently uploaded?

I'm new to Adobe After Effects. I have many layers of video scattered in the project randomly and I need them at the beginning of the project to organise them. Is there a way to do this easily, without draggin every single layer maually? Or is there some other way to organize the clips?

I have a corsair cx750m 750W 80+ Bronze power supply currently in the build. I'm aware this is on the low end of PSUs and should be getting a Rosewill Quark 850W 80+ Platinum within a day or two. I want to know is it safe to use my current PSU until my new one arrives or should I hold off and wait?

I went on the internet on my flipphone (Nokia 2720). I get 2gb data to use monthly from my provider. Is this the data that my flipphone uses up or will i have to pay extra bc it's not a smartphone? I haven't found any information on my flipphones internet, i know it's not WiFi

Got a quick one.

Every time I start my computer or re-connect to my wireless, the internet on my desktop won't work for a few minutes, then it does. Everything connects fine, but when I try to visit a site, it won't work until I let it sit for a few minutes.

I recently discovered that during this time, a svchost process is running at a constant 25% cpu load and when the internet starts working correctly, it goes down to normal. I thought this might be my connection configuring but then I tried ending the task while it was still running at 25% and my connection immediately started working fine.

I've already run several virus scans because I know svchost is a common vector for that shit, but nothing came up besides some tracking cookies here and there.


So what the fuck could possibly be going on?

I have an old laptop that's nonfunctional now. the screen no longer works and i'm sure the fan or something else might have ceased to work as well. is it possible to transfer the laptop data from the harddrive into the desktop i'm building and use that copy of windows as well? if so, how?

I don't think there is a way to do that, sorry.

I doubt you're missing much, though. Hundreds of videos are uploaded each second and most of it is probably garbage.

Why is compiling source code using gcc/g++/msbuild/fucking any cgywin or mingw you can pull out your ass in windows so goddamn hard?

Whenever I try, it always ends up needing a whole bunch of extra files I never have on my computer; and when I get them, it needs more. Half the time it won't even recognize the .c or .h file it specifically requested I have in the folder, in the folder.

And Makefiles don't do shit either. whenever I try to use the "make" command a error comes back to bite me in my ass. "no such file or directory" here, and "invalid command" there.

Keep in mind, this is source code from online. Open-source shit that numerous other people seem to have gotten without a fucking hitch. Source code damn-near guaranteed to compile correctly by the author, and source code I have never altered or messed with. all I've done was unzip the shit.

No, README's don't tell me anything. I make it a point to gather any dependencies the file is sure to need. Half the time they just write one word synopsises of what it's supposed to be, but even when they attempt to tell me how to compile, it NEVER works.

Please /g/, all I wan't to do is to be able to compile any source code. ANY. It's not even about functionality anymore, i've turned completly autistic with rage over how to accomplish this simple fucking task. I know it shouldn't be this hard.

A+ is kind of industry standard, no one really gives a shit if you know how to plug in a computer, but it's expected to be there. Figure out what you want to do and get certified in those things. Want to do networking? Get your Net+ or CCNA.

Experience trumps everything though. You can be the most certed up motherfucker on the block, but if you have no practical knowledge, you'll lose that job to Pajeet every time.

How do I become a good programmer from scratch and getting job at software company?

Having some issues, not computer literate at all. Used to use XBMC to stream media to my xbox in my living room, updated to Win 10 and can no longer do so.

Just figured out I can right click on media and stream it directly to my xbox from my PC, which has the downside of not being able to choose content from the living room, but I'll deal with it.

Anyway, my issue is that the streaming itself wouldn't work until I realised I had to manually enable media streaming in Windows' 'Media Streaming Options' page. For whatever reason it was turned off by default.

However, after restarting, it allows defaults to 'off', meaning I have to manually enable it.

Anyone got any idea what's causing this?

I was trying to do a Dual boot between Windows 7 and Ubuntu.

Did every step I found. Partitioned my drive with the Windows Disk Manager, created unallocated space of around 30gb, then proceeded to boot into the Ubuntu cd.

However, during installation I got to a point where It asked me ''Install alongside Windows 7'' or ''Something else''.

After a quick search it seemed like everybody suggested the first choice.

Installation was completed but, after restarting, I only had one choice to boot into which was Ubuntu. So I think It erased my previous Windows install.

How do I fix this? Is the correct choice ''Something else'' if I already partitioned my drive before hand?

What are people's experiences buying used gpu's?

Is windows defender a decent enough anti virus for someone who's not a moron? I fucking hate Avast, but it's what I've been using for years.

i was trying to move all Firefox boomarks i had of a specific site to a specific folder. I did not realize that the "search boomarks" search in the Library was not folder-specific even though it appeared i was viewing only the contents of the highlighted folder on the side. I accidentally deleted every bookmark of the specific site instead of moving it from one folder to another.

Is there any way for me to restore my instantly mass-deleted bookmarks?

>>54948674
I'm not going to keep waiting, I'm just going to wait for the pascal nvidia cards to come out.
I originally was planning on getting the 1070 but my brother pointed out to me that I'm only going to be gaming on a 1080p screen with a refresh rate of 60hz, so I probably don't need anything more powerful than a 980 anyway.

So I instead decided to go with the 970 instead. This is slightly off topic but do you know if the reference design for the 970 is worth buying? Best buy is selling that for pretty cheap compared to the custom cooled 970's but I'm not sure if reference design is good or not.

>>54946962
>Does it take a lot of time to set up a program to work in Wine?
depends on the program, ranges from
- installs and runs exactly as in windows, with no additional effort
- might need one or two additional things added to the prefix, common stuff can be added using winetricks
- manually changing things
instructions for anything that works can be seen on wine's appdb website (should be your first stop when going to install a new windows program)

>Do you do that once and have it work just like other programs from thereon or do you have to go through the process each time you run it?
just once, assuming nothing breaks with a newer version of wine (pretty rare, but regressions are a thing that exist)
i'd also recommend install programs in their own prefixes, for several reasons, such as;
- far easier to have per-program wine settings and additional libraries installed (such as from using winetricks)
- if you fuck something up, you're only affecting that prefix
- can selectively move/keep these prefixes between linux installations (and probably other OS's wine runs on)

Is there anything I can burn to a DVD from another computer to fix a 0xc0000225 error on Windows 7?

My laptop has a 1366x768 screen, is there any way I can replace it with a higher screen?

It's a toshiba satellite p745-s4102 if that helps

python (3) stupid question:

I have a set with the form
{"A;B", "A", "C"}
I want to split all the strings within the set, but keep it as a set. functionally, it is:

new_set = set()

for element in set:
split_el = element.split(';')
for el in split_el:
new_set.update(el)

Is there any way to do this in a functional form, or avoiding either loops or list/set comprehension?

Thanks

This won't effect yum on centos 6.7? All of the guides I've followed on installing python 2.7 on centos required me to make an alt install from the source and run it from /usr/local/bin.

I just got my first microcontroller + dev board and I want to know if I made a good choice. Board is pic related and it comes with a 32-bit PIC32MX250F128B, it has 32K of RAM and 128K of flash.

I've had a bit of experience with PIC micros before. I used an 8-bit PIC16F877 in a class once and programmed in BASIC. I didn't get much out of the class though and have no other microcontroller and limited programming experience. I would have gotten an Arduino except this was almost the same price ($23) and I'm studying EE and I feel like the Arduino was too hobbyist oriented and not industry oriented enough. I will probably be using this for a lot of hobbyist projects but I'd like to be able to bring the skills to a job if I need to.

I've only programmed in VB, BASIC, and labview (lol). I have no experience programming in C or assembly but I'll just have to learn I guess. Did I fuck up?

Is overclocking really as easy as it looks

Get good mobo gigabyte for example and 6600k, then just open the app and it auto overclocks to whatever it finds most stable?


I really hate the idea of fucking around with voltages and things like that myself. I always fuck stuff up by going too far every time cuz I'm a greedy shit

I'll be moving into a dorm soon, and I always hear horror stories about people getting their laptops stolen from their room. So, does anyone know what to look for in a laptop lock? I didn't know these even existed until recently, so I'm clueless as to what I should be looking for. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Are Dell Inspirons pretty decent laptops? Or is it like that Lenovo shit where they work like magic for a year and then shit their pants?

Can anyone think of a program (or simple method) that can do the following for me?

But WHY?....
>Work as a programmer at a graphic design firm
>I have a client that requires us to generate postcards with a bunch of random information on them, and then a map of the county they live in
>Usually we get a batch of 3-5k images, I usually can write a simple code to tell the program to pull the right image based on flags in the data
>About time for our monthly mailing
>Client wants to use new images, whatever
>Turns out the graphic design firm that did the images has NASTY AS FUCK Ransomware all over their server
>Only existing copies of this image are either locked by the Ransomware or might be tainted
>Client has a PDF with each image as a separate layer (They received it as a test from the graphics company)
>Client needs their shit done
>Cant say no

So is there a program that can do this, or should I just set up an AutoHotKey tomorrow?

>>54949806
supposed to read split each layer into a jpeg*

>>54949685
Never use the auto overclocking. The best way is to do it manually which is time consuming unfortunately.

I'd start by seeing the highest stable frequency you can get at stock voltage and then begin to increase the voltage. Increase the voltage slowly and at each stage run stress tests like prime95 and check the CPU temp. If you're getting too hot or the computer crashes then lower the voltage. Play with it until you get it stable then increase the frequency. Every time it crashes or you get weird artifacts on screen or whatever lower the frequency.

I think most mobos do it in 0.05V steps for voltage and 100MHz steps for frequency, maybe 50MHz. You should do all overclocking via the BIOS and not via any program in the OS, there will be a lot of rebooting. It helps to have an SSD to cut down on the boot time.

In my experience (on an i5-3570K) I wouldn't push the CPU voltage too far beyond 1.3V without good cooling. 1.4V would probably be too high without water cooling and even then I'm not sure. Might be lower or higher thresholds on newer chips I'm not really sure. Frequency will depend on your chip. I can't tell you what will work.

I know it's a pain in the ass but it's the proper way to find your maximum stable overclock.

>>54949756
It's pretty simple stuff. A good cable and a laptop with a kensington port that's anchored to the metal inside the case, not the plastic.

Are code boot camps a meme?

I'm selling a gaming laptop for $800 and I want to know if it's a good price. Here's the one I'm selling:
http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GE62-APACHE-002-15-6-Inch-Gaming/dp/B00RVUMRKS
Note that this is also available from Newegg for like $1050.

I've had this for about a year now and it is in perfect condition with no signs of wear (it spent that entire year sitting on my desk). Would $800 be a good price to try and sell this for?
Also, what's a good place to sell? I'm definitely going to list it on craigslist and I was considering Amazon as well but I don't know how much cut Amazon takes from sales.

>>54949958
if Windows, put them in the same work group, then put the files you'd like to share in a "shared" folder... I think that windows has them labeled as "public" by default, maybe, but you can mark any file for sharing, I think, by right clicking it and going to properties. Once the file is in the right folder or whatever, you can go to the other computer, on the same network and workgroup, and enter the address of the other computer in windows explorer. Might need to enter credentials at that point

>>54949995

how?

Can someone confirm is it a bug on Firefox or something?

If you open e.g. more than 20,000 tabs in your Firefox, then crash it, reopen Firefox to the session restore page, then it'd never be able to show all your previously opened tabs there.

Would it be due to the file size limit of sessionstore file?

My 3570K had instability above 4.3GHz. Above 1.3V it could sort of hold 4.4GHz but I'm not convinced it was actually stable. If you're lucky and you got a decent chip you could do 4.4GHz reasonably but it depends.

I mean, if you don't want to waste the time properly min-maxing you could pick a safe voltage and estimate a clock frequency that will probably be stable at that voltage and just try that. You may still need to make adjustments but it's only two or three versus a dozen. You won't be at your max stable overclock but you'll be close. Try maybe 1.2V and 4.2GHz as a starting point and go from there.

There is a way to allow the CPU to utilize the boost functionality when overclocked so that your CPU reduces its voltage and clock when under light load and will ramp to your overclock voltage and frequency as necessary. I don't remember how this is done exactly but I had it working for awhile. It's something with some kind of power setting I believe. I did this a few years ago and my memory is rusty.

I would still avoid software overclocking and stick to the BIOS but doing the above should be less involved than fully min-maxing.

I'm having a weird issue pop up. I need to access a bill pay section of my bank website that has been running incredibly slow as of the past 3 days. I can access the website and it goes to load my biller list (over 1,000 names) and does so individually. It take all of 5 minutes to load the entire list. Normally is would take roughly 20 seconds, so not great but usable.

The issue I am having is I've tried different browsers, different versions of browsers etc.. and still the same issue. I went to my parents house because I needed to get some work done and the issue wasn't happening there. They have essentially the same setup as me.

I connected my computer to my phone LTE and tried to load the website it loads much quicker. Back down to 20 seconds instead of the 5 minutes its been taking.

Does anyone have any ideas what is going on? I've cleared the cache, cookies, saved passwords etc...

Nothing seems to be working. Every other website is working fine and I am getting 200mb down 50 mb up and 20 ping.

Friend offering iPhone 5S 16GB for only $90, on Sprint network, and it's a hell of a lot nicer than my current phone (Alcatel One Touch Fierce 2). But I'm on my mom's phone plan, Walmart Family Mobile. Would it be possible to buy this phone and use it on my mom's plan, so I don't have to go with Sprint? Could I swap the SIM card or something? My mom said my phone bill is technically only $25 for unlimited talk, text and web because I'm conjoined on her account with my aunt so she only charges me $25, but if I left and went anywhere else it would at least double to get what I'm getting now, and I don't make that kind of money so I'd really like to stay on WFM but also have a decent phone that doesn't sound like a dollar store brand video game console.

My advice to you, if you really have HDD's galore, just get a 120GB SSD for boot-loading and use the HDD for everything else. You won't notice the difference.

Use frequencycheck.com to see what the 5S supports, and compare that with the network your carrier uses.

>>54951192
actually why aren't you using daz loader anyway?

i've noticed a weird smell in my house lately and it turns out that it's my router.

i've had it for about 10 years now and i have no idea whats going on. i did buy a new cat6 ethernet cable recently, could that have anything to do with it?

Best AMD CPU for running linux (Debian)?

Best web-based file serve?

I have a small server that I use to host shit for friends (teamspeak, KF, minecraft, etc.) and have a shitton of music, movies, etc. that we've amassed on it. Currently, we access all of the data with a shared user profile you can sftp into. I used to just leave everything in a directory listing, but I had to stop because of drive-by downloaders.

SFTP is becoming a hassle for file sharing, I'd like a web-based file serve, but it needs to have logins because of drive-by downloaders sucking up bandwidth. I'm pretty sure the standard solution is a web-interface on top an ftp server, but which of these packages works the best?

>>54951255
i didn't know this was an option, i'll see if it gives me anything later, thank you.

>>54951176
The other guy replied to you, but the thing is you're most likely not.

Sprint does some weird shit to all of their phones so the only sure fire way to know if it will work is to try it, or ask sprint.

A general rule, if the MNVO is based on X carrier, it should work

You have to look really fucking hard for every little piece of information, but it can be done.

Dual booting is easier, so everyone does that. Do it if you really need a challenge, get really bored or need it for game development.

I was travelling from one country to another with my notebook, and I adjusted the timezone setting accordingly (-1). After doing so, I continue to browse the web but then the timestamped browser history overwrite some of the history before I change the timezone. How to avoid that?

That DOESN'T make it cooler...

>>54951176

First of all the iPhone has to be unlocked, this implies that it's gotta be 100% paid to Sprint if there was a contract. Second, it has to be compatible with a lot of shit the carriers use. Third, as soon as you change it they're gonna detect it and they might start charging you different prices instead if the iPhone needs faster Internet or whatever. You should call and ask unless you already know and are trying to fool them, in that case don't even try.

>>54951290
I was looking and it isn't supported, but I'm gonna do that. I pass a Sprint on my way to and from work anyways so I'll pop in and see what's up. I'd rather know ahead of time than to pay the $90 for it to not work.

So, as long as the chipset is the same, (i.e.: Z97) there aren't too much difference between motherboards, right? I mean, buying a supergamemaster Z97 motherboard and buying another one with a Z97 for half the price will let me overclock just the same?

>>54951382
You do not have enough information about the situation to make that assessment.

My System Recovery is currently fucked but I have a Win7 Product Key on the bottom of the laptop. Microsoft won't let me download Win7 from them with the product key because it was pre-installed, is there any way to get Win 7 burned on to a DVD using this product key?

Is buying a reference GPU alright? I'm planning on buying a reference gtx 970 from best buy since that's the cheapest new card I could find.
(Yes I am going to wait a few weeks after the 1070 comes out for price drops, but the best buy reference card will still probably be the cheapest).

>>54951405

>inb4 I put a fan on front of it

Dude you're retarded it doesn't make it cooler, like ever. Protip: cooling the air around it != making the electronic components cooler

>>54951271
Try to smell from where comes the burned electronic smell.

PSU?
Exaust fan?
HSF?

>>54951405
You are supposed to make fans establish a circulation for you in the case

>>54951405
Just sayan. It usually doesn't. But that's not the issue. Sounds like you've gotten wires where they shouldn't be.

>>54951422
Never buy reference cards, doesnt matter which one.

See people having problems with the GTX 1080.

>>54951440
Are there any specific issues with the reference 970?
The ratings are quite high for it and although I've found several people saying not to buy reference cards they usually don't explain why.

>>54951411
Microsoft has ISO's on its website for free that you can use to make repair/install disks. All you need is a DVD burner or a flashdrive and rufus or the windows thumbdrive maker utility.
You wont need the key until it asks you to enter it during installation.
Keep in mind, you might only need to repair instead of a full install and be sure to get the correct version of windows.

it didn't give me any errors and it seems to be working now.
it just freezes for like 15 seconds and then opens up the default folder instead of the remote location. when the remote location becomes available again, it opens up that folder instead. perfect!

this has been bugging me for a while now and it used to freeze completely, that's why i didn't wait when i tried it earlier. i just assumed it would freeze again instead of just hanging for a few seconds, but apparently this bug was fixed in the recent versions. i'm certain this was still a problem in v45. it's all good now.

i wouldn't have waited this long if i wasn't waiting for errors to pop up, so thanks again.

backstory:
i store most of my image files on my desktop and sometimes browse 4chan on my laptop in bed, so every time i uploaded an image from my desktop while in bed and shut it down later, i had to get up and boot the desktop just so firefox wouldn't freeze. i'm a lazy fuck, what can i say.

I'm running everything through ssh now. They use something like winscp to download and upload shit. I (and they) would like everything available to them in the browser instead of having to use a separate application. Also thumbnails. It's probably asking too much for something like this pre-packaged. I'm not familiar, don't have the time, or interest to write some shitty php scripts for this.

Linux is part of ChromeOS, but no, most can't run a GNU/Linux system on bare metal. Crouton is a collection of scripts that automate setting up a GNU chroot on ChromeOS. It sometimes breaks when ChromeOS updates itself.

>>54952296
most programming tools use the command line to work, i.e gcc, nodejs, etc. sure you can get an IDE with gui for that type of stuff, but they usually do not give you the full flexibility of the command line.

also, linux is designed for development. development dependencies are a command away. it's just easier to develop on linux, and you'll see why once you're on it.

>>54952296
Being comfortable in the terminal is pretty helpful, also I always found it just a bit easier for coding within certain languages.
