/sqt/ - stupid questions thread

Is it possible to make computer cluster with few processor architectures? i.e. AMD64 and ARM in one cluster.

I've used Linux at school but now I want to install it on my laptop. I want to look cool (no Ubuntu), but I also want something that works. Which distro?

what key/value store would you recommend?

>>55616758
No. That's completely impossible due to the laws of thermodynamics

>>55616773
ubuntu looks cool you faggot, and it is the best and works

>>55616782
Seconding this

>>55616782
sexpr

>>55616773
xubuntu

>>55616782
S-expressions is the best for most usages.
Or just ini/conf

>>55616773
Riced Mint

>>55616792
ubuntu is shit and you should consider suicide if you say otherwise.
>>55616773

Why would you use one of the rebranded ubuntus?

>>55616827

What's wrong with Ubuntu? I'm using it now and it works okay for me. Maybe you're too retarded to install it?

>>55616849
How about one that's not in-memory only

>Why would you use one of the rebranded ubuntus?
because you get ubuntu support and community
while having lighter and more customizable GUI

In a laptop with a CPU that normally only takes DDR3L (CPU is i5 4310M), would notmal DDR3 laptop ram (1600 1.5V) work? Would it do any damage?

>>55616853

Reposting once again:

VLC supposedly has metadata-editing features, right?

If I open a file and change some of them, a "save metadata" button will appear and the metadata will be saved when I close the window (as shown by the new title displayed as the file title), but when I close VLC and reopen it, the file still has the old metadata.

Does VLC only change the metadata for that specific session, or it should change it on the file itself (and somehow it's not working for me)?

>>55616888
That's not a key-value store. The entire reason I want a recommendation is to move key/value data out of a relational database it doesn't benefit from being in.

>>55616910
>but theres nothing wrong with steam or sublime or anything
There is, it is useless, inferior non-free software.

Dude, just use sqlite as a key value store. There's nothing wrong with that and it will be MUCH more stable than today's crappy software.

>>55616934
Multimc is the most popular free as in freedom launcher. Why would you accuse it of being sketchy?

What's the intended way to use Docker containers?

Am I supposed to have a separate container for Python, one for Postgresql and so on, or put everything in one container/Dockerfile and develop my stuff using that?

>>55616977

>>55616950

Canonical is also a slimy as fuck company. Apart from spying on people (in the past) they've also sent cease and desist letters to people that removed the spying 'features' and attempted to bully linux mint into signing a license agreement.

Impossible to open SimpleVertexShader.vertexshader. Are you in the right directory ? Don't forget to read the FAQ !

Even though I followed the instructions for how to build it on the mac perfectly

What am I doing wrong? And if possible, are there any other tutorials for OpenGL for Mac users?

Are there any video capture devices for consoles (specifically for 7th gen, but I don't care if it works for 8th gen too) that does processing/encoding on the footage on the capture hardware itself rather then via a PC it's hooked up into, or otherwise can just stream the video from the console directly to twitch (which I could then rip and download) without much processing at all?

Anyone know what these arms are called? I'd like to mount a fan similarly in my case.

I'm trying to setup the following thing as a lab setup:

Win8 64 bit computer
Install ESXi VM on that device
Install VCSA on that ESXi

Is there a way to get around this?

iOS is getting RAW photo support in iOS 10, Lightroom Mobile already supports it and the color accuracy and screen is going to be way better than on my old laptop since the iPad has an IPS screen. iPads are definitely good enough for photo editing but I'm not going to be able to run DAWs or anything like that on it, and I don't plan to either since that's what I use my desktop for.

I'm not going to get rid of my laptop and I'll probably pick up a Dell XPS 13 when my budget allows for it anyways so I can use Ableton with all my plugins on it, it's just more convenient to have a tablet if you're only going to read ebooks, watch movies and browse the internet.

I was told the starting salary is something like 40k, but then it raises so slow that you practically won't reach 60k before you go in retirement.

>>55619071
I don't have it yet, but I'll be ordering one soon probably.
actually now that I think about it, my x201 tablet that I got a while ago had a dock. It was the type that you'd stick on the bottom and keep it there if you wanted expanded io.
But that dock worked just fine on battery, so I'll assume that the more desk oriented docks will be the same.

Now if only my power would quit going out so often so I don't have to buy 3 or 4 UPSes to power all my devices.

fair enough. your question was "is thern a reason" and to some, yes.

but you already have your mind made and im not interested in trying to change it any further.

Is the PC Part picker's "Compatibility" check reliable? If there are no issues, does that mean all of the parts I'll be ordering will fit inside the case and work with each other?

How do I upgrade the android version of my Xiaomi Redmi HM 1SW to 4.4?

Pls respond

>>55619821
if the version of MIUI brings it you get it
if cianogenmod was made for your phone you can use that

>>55619843
>if the version of MIUI brings it you get it
Do you mean that if I press "Check for updates" and it says that I'm running the latest version then MIUI didn't bring it?

>if cianogenmod was made for your phone you can use that
Is that a different OS built on Android? Will it come with a new layer of bugs and do I have to reinstall apps/theming stuff? I just wanna play Pokemon go

Any tips before I unscrew my hole laptop for exchanging the thermal paste?

>>55619886
I guess he wanted to say, that if the update check doesn't tell you there's one available, then there's nothing you can do unless you install a different ROM like cyanogenmod.
and yes, you'd have to reinstall everything.
MIUI is a special kind of ROM already, not pure android.

>>55619886
damn faggot I actually googled for you

so first switch recovery mode from current to TWRP
https://twrp.me/devices/xiaomiredmi1s.html
google out what is TWRP, what it does and how to do the flashing

then you can put any rom anywhere on the device and update your system to whatever you like

like here android 5, assuming it fits your phone

>>55619925
>and yes, you'd have to reinstall everything.

That sucks. Why is it so slow to update the Android version? I'm still at 4.3 and people have had 6.0 since 2015. By the time MIUI gets to 4.4 I'll be the only one on the Pokemon server

Why I get an error -102 when I try to install an apk? How can I fix it?

>>55619960
because you buy a cheap shit phone where the company doesn't care about giving you updates, they have your money already.
MIUI is already at android 6, your phone just doesn't get an update.

Look up for disassembly videos on youtube or service manuals for your laptop model. Modern laptops have fancy profiled parts which can be easily damaged if you don't know how they look like before the dissasembly. If you go in blind you are sure to break e.g. some of those fucking plastic latches (which I hate btw; what a horrible way to fasten parts together).
You probably know about it, but put a MINIMAL amount of paste on the CPU (paste just adds to the thermal resistance, it's there to just cover the irregularities of the surfaces)
It might be just my autism, but when I unscrew each layer I draw a "map" on a sheet of paper of where should each screw go. That way I accidentally don't put a screw on a wrong layer which is a pain to redo.
Also, you might clean your fan and put some lubricant on it when you're at it.

What do I do? Another problem is that I can't connect my phone to USB cause that thing at the bottom doesn't work anymore (I use an external battery charger for keeping the battery working) so I can't just connect it to the phone and install something or stuff

>>55621355
if you would first get TWRP going then you would just put whatever rom on the sd card and then install ROM from there

though I have no idea how would you go about doing that if your usb connector is not working

unless mi-recovery dont offer some option to chose rom image from sdcard, or just factory reset,.. then I thikn you are in market for redmi 3 / redmi note 3
and this time the bootloader is locked

Yeah that's where I'm stuck too...

My MI-Recovery offers Wipe & Reset only. Would it help if I try to Wipe User Data or All Data? It kinda sucks but if it can fix it, I could try it.

Alternatively... do you think I can take it to a phone repair shop that can fix my USB onnector?

Historically, the /sqt/ has been the "stupid questions thread", wherein "stupid questions" were those that you didn't want to bother other Anons having technical knowledge with because they'd get tired due to those questions being vastly below their competence ("how do I take a screenshot?"), because they are easily searchable, or because they show up so often.
However, in recent years, with the addition of the catalogue and its spreading of search capabilities to regular users, the term "/sqt/" and its implications have gained in popularity, becoming an institution.

Teleologically and systematically, the /sqt/ is a thread focused on being a bundling place for questions that don't deserve their own thread: small questions that are fast to answer and don't offer much meat for discussion. It, in conjunction with the wiki, also serves to purify other threads of questions that show up a lot.

In terms of popularity, I can only guess, but I believe that the order of popularity is the following:
Stupid Questions Thread > /sqt/ > Small Questions Thread

I'd say that all three uses are valid, but "Small Questions Thread" sounds fucking stupid to me, who is used to "Stupid Questions Thread", and "Stupid Questions Thread" should be preferred to both the "small" and "/sqt/" variants, because that's the traditional name and makes enough sense.
"Sexy questions thread" sounds kinda hot, though.

Can I use TracFone as my carrier with a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3?

>>55622063
yes, it will format the drive
the quickest & simplest solution would be to save the current data on the drive to another drive or flash drive or something & just let windows do its thing
otherwise youll have to shrink the current drive & leave a large amount of unallocated space & allow windows installation to format that unallocated space
which you will then end up with two "drives" but will actually be one drive partitioned into two
one partition consisting of the old data & old file system & the other partition consisting of your windows install & new file system

I'll clarify my position:
I'm looking to get a bigger SSD tommorow. I'm planing to get a retail copy of windows so I'm not bogged down with stupid OEM hardware limitations.
I tried reformatting the disk (current secondary drive) I plan to use as my new OS drive. I'm only planning on having two drives at any one time and will get rid of the previous drive.
When I tried to reformat the secondary drive, I got a warning telling me I can force a reformat of the drive but it may cause problems. It does not have windows installed, just has some steam files and whatever.
So based on this information, if it worth trying to reformat that disk or will a clean install on it just erase the steam files and not cause any partition issues?

worse wifi, only n not ac

bit worse camera
less support for redmi3 because note 3 is far more popular
slightly worse SoC snapdragon

what it has going for it:
it has same battery, but smaller screen, this gives great boost to already great battery life
its smaller, might be plus for you
its cheaper

I got redmi3 because battery life and size
I would probably even go for for 4" phone

Reliability depends on the specific production run more than anything
HDD reviews are always slanted to the negative because people who get working drives generally don't write reviews.

>>55622349
there wont be any issues, theres no reason to do anything to it except pick during windows install & let it do everything for you, no prior steps need to be taken
not really sure what the fuck you're saying anymore,, if you pick the drive & install windows to it, the shit on it will be wiped

>>55622373
get ssd for the system
then get wd red for data, 3TB is comfy size

>>55622428
Then that is all I need to know. Thank you.

>>55622259
did you try uninstalling the drivers/reinstalling?
doing a rollback on the drivers?
reconnecting/fiddling with the cables or trying a different socket?
testing the speakers or headphones on another device to make sure they aren't malfunctioning
run the normal diagnostics to see if it reports any sort of malfunction
try different connecting cables or make sure there is no small cuts or other damage on the line

Is M$ refusing to activate windows 7 or 8.1 anymore?

I tried installing both with keys I've used before in the past and none of them are working. I actually called them to verify my keys were the correct versions and they confirmed they were. They wanted remote access to my computer but fuck that shit, I'll just use daz if it won't activate the right way after I install updates.

>>55622088
login to google account/gmail account? or made a dummy account.

>>55622349

the only way is upgrade, windows 7/8/8.1 to 10 keep files on c:drive windows.old folder, i recommend getting another harddrive though for $50 u can get like 1tb.

>>55622459
Don't use Daz, just use the latest Microsoft Toolkit, as it is a flawless tool.

It doesn't just "fix" your install, it literally makes it genuine in such a way that it is indistinguishable from legit users who paid for windows. its amazing that they have managed to make the tool so perfect

if you use Daz for example, youll have a harder time upgrading to win 10, but the latest MTK wont have such issues, its fucking flawless

be sure to get it officially from mydigitallife forum, not some random torrent

If you buy a full rigs worth of parts off Newegg at once does it come in one shipment, in one box, or...?

>>55622482
i use firefox, not chrome, so even if i wanted to be tracked by google using a google account, it doesnt seem to work well with firefox, they only allow it to work flawlessly with google chrome

>>55622482
I think the other guy cleaned this all up. I'm liable to believe him when he said because I don't have an OS on the drive I want to wipe that a clean install on it won't cause any partition issues. Is that right?

>>55622514
>>55622482
dont listen to ms toolkit fag

if win7, use Daz, it never got detected by antivirus, its always working (unless GPT partition windows)
but if win8/10, you will need crapy KMS activation tool like MS toolkit or KMSpico, both are fine, but they will run on every start and they are detected by serveral AVs

daz was so elegant and clean...

>>55622527
Newegg is not a good place, Amazon is superior, especially if you're using partspicker website
anyway, unless it literally states its sold as a collection, it may or may not all come together
it sucks, but thats just what happens
with amazon & prime, you have a better chance of getting everything the same day

Need a new HDD just for torrenting.

How is WD Red? Also 3TB or 4TB is there any difference is performance and quality?
I have read that the larger the HDD the more likely it is to fail. Something about platter numbers.

>>55622514
I'll try that, thanks. I'm just pissed I can't just legitimately activate it, I have two fucking keys that I know should work. It's literally easier to pirate the install than to do it legit. Fuck M$.

>>55622560
Dont get me wrong, Daz is good, but Microsoft can now detect it as shown by the upgrade block
And MTK is just as elegant & clean, you don't know what you're talking about & never used it if you disagree
Its exactly like Daz in that you run it once, click 1 button, and you're done forever & will never need to do anything further or see anything or fucking anything
you're such a pleb

Does word 2007 work on a fresh windows 10 retail version?
I know it works on an upgraded w10 from 7.

>>55622572
got two 3TB wds red
they are fine
slow, but enough for data
very quiet,
had seagate 4TB as well and returned it because the whole sound signature of my fractal define case changed... it was not extremely noisy, nah, but really WD reds do better job at being quieter

>>55622572
if i was you i'd 100% get HGST, specifically the 4TB DESKSTAR NAS ones
they have the lowest failure rate atm, & the price is amazing
i have several & i have never ran into any problems
just be sure that if you go with it, get the RIGHT ONES

HGST
4TB
DESKTAR
NAS

>>55622589
where did you get the keys?
any "cheap" keys you get online are almost ALWAYS sold at least twice & will fuck you in the end
and any keys that come with a computer will be locked to that brand & those parts & wont work if you change parts or want to use them on another PC

>>55622615
i dont have money for 2

so should i get the 4TB one then? somehow everyone tell me to get the 3Tb one, but why?

>>55622634
im from Yuroop, and i just cant find any place that sells HGST drives here, except from Amazon, but they have jew shipping prices to my country

>>55622592
heh, you might want to go check your scheduler
KMS activation works for 3 months, it needs reactivation
both MS toolkit and kmspico run on everyboot/login
MStoolkit is probably worst of the so far mentioned tools, kmspico knows at least how to convert retail to VL and then activate

daz loader worked complelely differnt system, it had hooks before system start to pretend for the windows that the info from bios belonged to some OEM manufacturer
KMS activators are just pretending that volume license servers activated the system

>>55616838
It's easy to use and works properly out of the box therefore it's shit. /s

Ubuntu is great - it has by far the best installer of any distro, Unity just works and has a good keyboard shortcut configuration by default. The latest LTS version has the Amazon search turned off by default, so no worries there.

Only reason I would recommend a DE other than Unity is if you're running 1080p or a shitty resolution like that - you might not be willing to dedicate the screen space to the unity launcher in that case.

What on earth is going on with fucking networkmanager? I lose goddamn wi-fi connection every five seconds. Then it restores by itself. Then drops again.
Uninstalled that bullshit, connected through netctl – everything works perfect as it should be. Installed some package that depending on nm – the problem are back.
WHAT THE HELL. Did any archfag noticed anything similar?

my asus gtx 970 dc mini gets up to 79 degrees playing overwatch. ive heard that this is the ideal operating temperature, and it will always seek to run at this temp, is that true? I can make it run at around 60 using the gpu tweaker program, and i get the exact same performance. this is an issue because the gpu fan is far louder then any other fan

>jew shipping

i dont get it, over here we have Amazon prime for a small fee a month you get free 2-day shipping on 99% of all the items on the site

don't you guys have amazon prime?

anyways theres tons of places to buy them online
HGST is also owned by WD, its just i've never seen such great quality & great prices
they even give you a free warranty with every drive that lasts like 2 years (5 years costs extra i think

Can anyone plese tell me how to use KMSpico?

I installed a fresh copy of Windows 10 x64 and now what? i just run that litte program and it magically makes windows legit?
Also form where should i downlaod it? google is bringing me to some really shady sites

>>55622671
>KMS activation works for 3 months, it needs reactivation
look man you're wrong
i suggest you go read the latest release & try the latest version for yourself

I need a new laptop for college; can I get some recommendations? Money isn't really an issue, so recommendations at various price points would be nice.

>>55622750
>KMSpico
NEVER USE SPICO
DAZ OR MTK ONLY

DONT USE SPICO
DONT USE SPICO
DONT USE SPICO

also dont download this shirt from torrents, get them officially from mydigitallife, otherwise youll get an old version or a version that adds you to some botnet or some shit

>>55622791
I used DAZ for Win7 but it doesnt work for 10 as far as i know

also whats MTK?

I pirated FL studio and that went fine. But I'm having trouble getting it to accept pirated VSTs. No matter where I install the VSTs when I use the plug in scanner it always says theres an error and won't let me use the plugin. Does anybody here have experience with this? Specifically the R2R release of FL Studio 12 and Arturia collection V

MTK - Microsoft Toolkit

>>55622769
nigger I am not saying manually you need to re-run them every 3 months
but go fucking check your task scheduler
ms toolkit is being run on evey boot you riffraff

>>55622935
and all im saying, nigger, is that Daz was great for Win7, but thats ALL & now even on Win7, to some degree, its detected, because they now can block you from upgrading to Win10 from Win7 if you used Daz, however you CAN upgrade if you used MTK

I get what you're saying but
1: I don't think you've used the latest version, I think you're basing your opinions on a much older version
2: I think you're mixing up alot of your opinions with KMSPico, which is shit

MTK is currently the most elegant solution that works for Win7/Win8/Win10 (even enterprise) and is 100% fully undetected

Regardless of what is or inst scheduled at each boot, the point is its stil la 1-click & done solution, like Daz in that regard

Im not going to argue with you about it further, I know Daz is great, but its time has long since past & to recommend it still is not very good

What's the difference between C and C++? How do I learn C?

thanks

When using livestreamer on windows, why would I want it to use http over stdin to go between livestreamer and the media player of my choosing? Or why a named pipe instead of stdin?

C is procedural and C++ is C with Object Oriented features bolted on.

Learn by going to Lynda.com or wherever, there are tons of free online resources, just google it.

>>55623175
>difference
Ostensibly, C++ is a superset of C (so you can program C in C++ if you want). C++ has additional abstractions which make some things arguably easier (such as managing large code bases and allowing programming teams to work more easily with one another).

what do windows optional updates consist of
I have 12 of them, are they all trash or could one of them possibly be something relevant

>>55623472
Sometimes they add extra cosmetic features
Sometimes they add extra options
But sometimes they are trash or add things youll never use
To be honest though, the updates marked important or security updates & such, half of those are also "trash" in that they are super obscure, minor fixes, that there is a 90% chance you won't benefit from them

At least with optional updates, you actually have a chance of getting neat new features or improvements to the various user interfaces (even if it is just cosmetic in nature)

So I don't ignore optional updates, but I do read them if i have time to see what is & isn't good
Theres always a chance an optional update is a data mining/collecting piece of shit that you don't want to touch with a ten foot pole

100 down, 10 up for $59/mo , 2 yr contract for Rogers Internet. "Best deal" at the moment I can get. I don't want to dive into a smaller internet service provider.

As long as you intend to be in a rogers-served area for the next two years it sounds fine. CAN isn't known for its stellar ISPs though.

Best way to get a really cheap ideapad (like those new ones)?

I remember for the P50 in Lenovo's case /g/ had found out a way to get the business discount saving an extra 100 bucks or so off what you would get from the student even.

This is for a family member not going to go through all the business with a thinkpad, just going to use the ultra-lightweight edge and windows printing drivers on the go.

I just found out that my heatsink wasn't properly connected. Don't know long this has been going on but I found out it was suddenly 90+ when my computer refused to restart. Now it's properly attached again though but I feel it's a bit hotter than I remember it still. Did the paste thing get ruined by this? I'm still using the several year old pre-applied stuff.

How many C could I gain for switching? It's up to 75 under load and always the hottest thing in my case with an extra 5-10C.

>>55624097
Just clean off the old stuff and put some fresh paste on it. Might take an hour but you'll have peace of mind.

>>55624140
I don't have any paste though since I've never used it. Just the pre-applied shit.

But you're right better just to do it even if those Intel anchors scare me. Can they break when detaching and putting back on? They feel so flimsy.

>>55623618
so what do you do with the trash ones?
you cant just delete them, so you just leave them there?

If you want that sweet new direct X might as well do it while its free even though as far as I know there are no good games that use it yet.
