I'm looking to build a new computer using the smallest case I can. I've compiled a small list of cases less than 30 liters that support a (generally full-length) GPU. Is there any good ones that I've missed?

Trying to install transmission, what's the issue?

I uninstalled the default installation that comes with Lubuntu but now I want Transmission back since Deluge and Qbit are dog shit, did I fuck something up by uninstalling it?

I have a receiver that supports 2160@60 4:4:4 passthrough, a television and HTPC that supports the same, and cabling rated to 22.5Gbps. Bizarrely, I cannot get the HTPC (Fedora, Gnome 3, kernel-supplied Intel drivers) to recognize the display supports 4k at all, except on the login screen, when plugged in through the receiver. Works perfectly fine when plugged into the television directly.

Is there some service, post-authentication, that might be causing this issue?

Is 745$ for this pre built a decent price?

I doubt it. I mean it really matters what file format it's sending, but unless it's a perfect image or pdf that you can save, there is some tracing you'll have to deal with to figure out how they are displaying it.

I built my computer a few years ago with a really shitty budget and am looking to upgrade now. It currently has an AMD FX-6300 as the cpu, and I was wandering if it would probably be better to buy a new motherboard and get an intel processor and spend less on a gpu, or just get one of the newer am3+ cpus. Thoughts? My budget is around $450

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 into elements and keep it as a set. Something equivalent to:

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

My intended output is {"A","B","C"}

Is there any way to do this in a functional form, or avoiding either loops or list/set comprehension?
Even list/set comprehension would be OK if there's no other way.

Younger brother got a laptop. Now we go over our bandwidth cap. Mom blames me and is replacing our wireless router with one she claims lets her monitor "everything"

Is it arduino or genuino?

Back in early 2010 when I used an arduino for a project it was only arduino

Then there was some sort of epic reddit battle among the dudes and since I had no interest in their neo Stallman tier naming battle I lost interest. I thought the two project were coexisting but making things difficult for people wanting to compile their code on the boards

Then this afternoon I looked again and it seems it's Arduino in USA and Genuino for the rest of the planet...

I had this laptop hard drive and I was trying to figure out what kind of connector it was using. It wasn't SATA, and it wasn't PATA/IDE. I thought it was just some kind of strange proprietary interface.

Then I realized it was just a normal SATA drive with some proprietary cover over the SATA connector that you could just pull off.

My power went down due to a storm (just general third world stuff) and when I turned my PC back on, the HDD wasn't showing any data and it asks me if I want to format it, then gives me a cyclic redundancy check error.

If I have an old arduino, can I get to see what code is implemented on the chip or is it compiled and unreadable for a human anymore?

>>54958763
It's compiled, sorry. You can extract the binary, and use a disassembler to get ASM from that. But you can't decompile that to get readable C.

>>54958709
>Thanks. I'd heard of it but for whatever reason I thought it was solely for syncing with remote servers, not local drives.
i always assumed it was complicated to use and always had to be run in a server+client configuration
but no, it's actually pretty simple, and can be used in as simple a case as needing a "smarter" cp to update a backup copy of something

it can be used just between two local drives, when using it to sync with a remote machine, it can connect to an instance of rsync on the remote machine, for additional efficiency, but even that is optional (can also function over for example, plain sftp)

>>54959736

So install a custom ROM because aside from just disabling the Google apps or rooting there is no way to actually remove any of it. Disabling it doesn't remove it, just hides it from the Apps drawer and executing but it's still there on the system partition taking up space.

Rooting won't void the waranty since you can unroot/go back to pure stock anytime you want. Unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty because you have to request the unlock code from Motorola and they mark the device warranty as void if you even request it - doesn't matter if you never actually use the code to unlock the bootloader.

Just making the request for the unlock code voids the warranty.

So, bitbucket apparently has unlimited private repositories. Would it be a good idea to use bitbucket to host my personal repo with todo lists made in org-mode? This might be a cool thing, because orgzly is supposed to have an option to sync with git.

Your phones screen only has a resolution of 960x540, the Youtube app will only let you play videos at the closest resolution to what your phone can display which is 480p

>>54959879
C is the best for beginners. Not because it is easy, but because it is simple, and lets you understand the basics of programming before taking on advanced tools.

The best way to learn programming is to program. Find a course syllabus that has you doing excersizes that you enjoy, and don't be afraid to pursue whatever project or quirk that interests you.

As for higher resolutions on your device, maybe it can be achieved by editing build.props, but that would require root.
I never messed around with this, because all devices that I bought were too hard to root.

How do I get 32bit binaries using OpenGL to work under 64bit Ubuntu with the proprietary Nvidia driver? It "works" with Nouvea, but that's batshit slow.

Everything 32 bits returns this, even glxgears:

libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  154 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  35
  Current serial number in output stream:  37

All 64 binaries I throw at it works fine. I've installed i386-versions of all gl-related packages. (As I said, it works OK with Nouvea.)

I'm was thinking about buying a 390X since the prices went down but I'm still gonna wait to see if the 480 will match the 390X performances. The thing is that 480X and 490 will probably beat the 390X for the same price, and I wonder if it was worth waiting.

I stated that like a retard, sorry.

Hello
I have 3 wifi channels: 2.4, EXT, 5
2.4 and EXT have slow speeds and aren't stable.

channel 5 gives me the best speed but ALWAYS disconnects after a while. I try to reconnect and it says i can't connect and asks for a password, I put the right password and it still won't connect. I try to fix it by going into the gateway > wifi settings and resetting the channel's settings and it usually works, but the same thing happens. I tried going into the channels edit settings and playing around w/ the channel options, still the problem persists.

mind you I use my neighbors internet and only have access to the gateway. (isp only allows 1 router in 1 house and our house is divided, so yeah) I hope this can be fixed.

Built my first computer. Only problem is, is that when I went to connect my monitor, it kept saying that there was no signal no matter what cord I used.

So I opened up my case to see that my graphics card was not spinning except for the occasional twitch (EVGA GEFORCE GTX 950). What could the problem(s) be?

In excel, what method do you use to create a unique key that is split between 2 or more entire columns that together checks for duplicate input and throws an error if both columns would be duplicate entries?

You need to plug your Monitor into the onboard display connector, open up the BIOS and tell your computer to use the GPU to display images rather than your onboard graphics.

>>54962018
Many Maxwell cards are designed not to spin the fan unless they actually need to (i.e. they're silent at idle). I'm not sure whether that's supposed to be the case with your particular card.

I was going to ask whether it works with integrated graphics, but I just saw that it's an AMD mobo and your CPU (probably) doesn't have any.

The GPU's power cable is definitely connected correctly, right?

I can only plug in one cord (the blue or the white one for the display) at one time. It appears that most PC setups can have both plugged in at the same time. But for my setup, there is only a slot for the white cord, and for me to use the blue cord, I can only plug it in in the white cord slot using an adapter in the same area. I can't have the blue and white cord plugged in at the same time. Maybe this is the issue?

Not sure why you're getting such a hostile reception.

To be clear, if both of those cables are attached to the same monitor, you should only use one at a time. If they're attached to different monitors, and you want to use both, you will need another adapter. Either way, you should be getting video out. Are you sure your monitor is set to the correct input?

(Also, why did you remove those three expansion slot covers if you aren't putting anything there? You should replace them if you can or cover the slots with tape if you can't. They'll let dust in otherwise)

Can someone a recommend a good 1440p price for performance monitor?

>>54963326
I was going to put them back on when I was done messing around with it tonight. I tried both cables, and each time I plugged one in I would go back to the monitor and switch to every different setting (like hdmi/vga/etc) and none of them worked regardless if it was the blue or white one plugged in. I also tried taking out the graphics card and putting in another slot/taking out the ram/etc. Nothing seems to be working. Is it the graphics card itself that isnt working? Like I said, the fan for the GPU doesn't turn on completely either expect for the occasional twitch every few minutes.

Im not your average tech illiterate guy.
I know that you shouldn't have windows updates.
I have windows updates off since 2014.

Why the fuck is MS Defender updating, let alone running.
Im sure i disabled this years ago but it reactivated again recently and i noticed it running.

>>54963401
there are many flavors of 1440p

100 hours, website in php, got the design, got the main idea about functionality, got the database... Can I manage it, If I have done this before? Literally need to put together the functionality and I'm done. Still dunno if I'll make it.

>>54963433

No, i havent installed anything MS related, no program recently that could have done this.

100 working hours, or literally 100 hours from now?

>>54963116
You would be fine with a clip on mic and a good set of headphones

>>54963600
literally working hours. I got 180 hours from now.

My old ass galaxy S3 took a fall and now the screen or back light stopped working as well as the speaker and vibration. Is there a possible fix for the speaker and motor? I checked the main board and nothing seemed amiss, pretty sure the lcd is fucked though.

Is it degenerate to put stickers on your laptop?

>>54963642
S3 doesn't have a backlight or LCD.

How long is it expected until we get the non-founder$ edition of the 1080?

>>54963612
clip on mics sound absolutely terrible

There are a few on newegg already but they are predictably out of stock.

It looks cheaply made
Just take some measurments and head down to home depot and get some particle board

>>54963629
Well, it's hard to say. Really depends on the complexity of the project, whether you have experience doing something similar, etc.

Is 2560x1440 better than 2k resolution?

>>54963905
Yes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K_resolution

>>54963905
Is more pixels better than less?

>>54963932
Not for old people who don't know about UI scaling. They prefer a lower resolution because it results in everything being physically larger by default.

>>54963905
Strictly speaking, "2K" should mean 2048px and would only be slightly better than 1920x1080. 2560x is about 2.5K.

However, many people use "2K" when the mean "2560". In other words, "2560x1440" and "2K" are probably one and the same.

Yo I am trying to develop on the Unreal engine, and I am wondering what the cheapest GPU I can get is. I am rather poor. As of right now I am looking at getting the GeForce GTX 980, but that is nearly five hundred dollars, and I would really like to be able to spend less than 1400 on a build.

I just got a new hard drive that I plan on using externally. What's the best method I can use to protect my data? Maybe a password system for a few folders?

Can someone shortly explain me why adobe flash is so prone to get exploited by haxxors

>>54964316
Yeah I know I've seen it but I've had too many experiences where I "meet" the requirements but then later I hit a wall with what I can actually do.

>>54964364
It's on almost every Windows PC and can be easily exploited through a web browser. I can imagine it's a highly desirable target, so more people are looking for holes in it.

What's a good book to start learning electronics?
