/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

crosspostin from tha bang/buck thread since its kina dum i guess:

i was rilly thinkin bout taking tha time to build something gr8 for maxing 1080p games with used parts, but wld i be stupid not to buy this tower ASAP for about 100 bucks?

crosshair IV board
amd 975 cpu
gtx 560 ti
1tb hdd
windows 7 oem :/
crucial 8gig ddr3
evga 600watt
coolermaster haf912 (kinda gross but resellable?)

like i wanted to grab a cheap used sapphire r9 290 and maybe an i5 2550k??? etc etc but this is 100 bucks

shld i get the r9 with it anyways and just use the crosshair for a new build eventually as i get parts? or are the compatible cspus too dudu

Should I use tabs or spaces to indent?

Tabs

Anyone can set their tab-width to whatever they want.

i just told my 10 year old brother on the other side of the country to install gentoo and then the internet cut out before i could tell him it was a joke

I considered using hackintosh on my machine since I know it works quite good, but I got a Xonar DGX sound card not long ago because onboard isn't doing that good.

Does anyone know if it actually works?

I'm installing meme video player but it tells me I need libsodium18. I already have libsodium locally installed (using

checkinstall make install

). Is there any way I can make mpv use this so I don't have to install a duplicate library?

In the sticky, it says to buy an internal hd and just get an enclosure for it.

$70 WD Blue 2TB seems like the best option so my question is, what enclosure should i get for it?

What OS(s) should I install on the shittest of shitty netbooks to be able to use it smoothly? Some meme penguin thing or android? Anything else to pick from? I want to watch movies, chinese girl cartoons and play very shitty 2d games. I can't into linux but I guess I can learn.

I use pic related everyday at work. My media device is a note 3. But the cord is a hindrance. Is there a cheap Bluetooth adapter that are tried and true? I'd like to just leave it charging on my desk and keep it out of my way. Thanks in advance for the help.

What is a shell extensions?

I keep reading 7zip has shell extension, pdf reader got it for converting..

is it the fact that you can write in to cmd command and it works everywhere?

>>55746338
>ctrl alt canc
what

>>55746369
It means you can type a command line prompt like

C:/pdfconverter.exe -inputfile "C:\file1.pdf" -outputfile "C:\file2.pdf"

so you don't have to deal with a GUI.

This is useful if you need to do it programmatically or across many machines.

>>55746338
well, something freezes then.. check running processes, if something takes 100% cpu, like you would with htop

reinstall system is the best way still, no dicking around and you know in 1 hour you are done..

if shit continues then its hardware, if you get blue screen you can check blue screen dumps for details whats causing it

I always do HD test with hdtune before touching a PC, saves time when hdd is fucked and you be doing this all for nothing

>>55746371
Sorry, i meant ctr alt del. In some countries it's del is named canc.

I have VS 2013 community. In order to develop for android I've understood that you need xamarin, which apparently comes with VS if you tick the box for it. I didn't do that when installing VS, so do I need to reinstall the entire thing now?

>>55746190
give stats
lubuntu is best bet
but even that will be problem with 512RAM
distro doesnt chagne the fact that browsers eat 1GB easily

>>55746404
You should install VS2015.

It installs alongside with no issue, so you don't have to uninstall 2013 if you don't want to.

I want to buy a new video card. For 300 Euro i can get the 1060 or the 480. However a retailer listed a new msi 980 for the same amount of money. Should i get the 980 now or wait for nice 480/1060 custom cards?

>>55746412
How big is it?

>>55746439
of course not 980

if you want to use card for more than 2 years, want to get freesync monitor, I would get rx480

if right here right now, every % more FPS count.. then gtx1060 is a better card for ya

>>55746444
Anywhere from like 2GB to 18GB, depending on how many boxes you tick.

Just do it, faggot.

You should have already bought it long ago. I paid over $500 for an HP Compaq a few years ago, granted, but it was a Core 2 Duo and had nothing that made it worth that much. Now you can get it for $50.

>>55746040
Tabs, always. Professional and clean. Also, the proper way to do it. One space instead of four if using spaces instead.

>>55746154
He won't actually do it. If he does, he won't get far.

>>55746159
Check the forums for that type of thing, but I don't think it should have any issue.

>>55746183
Sabrent, but it literally does not matter. At all.

>>55746190
Arch, Gentoo, or a special version of Ubuntu. Chrome OS is the best bet, but that's annoying to deal with getting and installing, in my opinion unless things changed.

>>55746439
I'd wait in general. Both sides are fucky right now and I think you'll get a better value later on. However, the 980 is 'better', but the 480 would be the better overall value but comes with the headache of AMD. I assume you're on Windows and there's no beating Nvidia on Windows right now. 1060 might be a better bet if you're not that hardcore into gaming and just want a solid video card.

>980 for power
>1060 for overall goodness
>480 for best value

>>55746444
It's Visual Studio. One of the most bulkiest pieces of shit there is. Space doesn't matter. IIRC, mine was over 20GB minimum, but I could be wrong. Space shouldn't be a concern if you use Visual Studio.

>>55746493
Relax. My conundrum was mainly if i should've bought the 980. I don't want to start a flamewar. The 480/1060 discussion is moot for me anyhow since the delivery times of both are shit here.

Are you tabs guy retarded?

there is one rule, and that is dont mix spaces and tabs, correct?

Well with spaces you have free reign to indent your code however you hell please
not being on every step of the way forced in to strange positions by tabs, or trying to fix them by mixing spaces and tabs.

almost every editor has this thing where tabs equal spaces, so you press tab, but 4 spaces are written, or whatever number you set.

So objectively, unequivocally, spaces are better and tabs offer not a single benefit

>>55746508
>>55746409

Ok, stats on the little piece of shit:
HP Mini 110-3500
1.5ghz Intel Atom N550

Integrated graphics is listed as "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150"

>>55746571
>not a single benefit
less keypresses :^)

>>55746649
>less keypresses :^)
nope, as I wrote you use the tab key to make 4 space, you press tab key, and it might seems like tab character was entered in to editor, but in reality spaces were put instead

The spaces proponents never actually argued for retarded approach of pressing spacebar 4/8/12/... times

Is there an adapter for this SSD?

I'm seeing mixed messages about laptops accepting more than their specified maximum upgradable RAM. My listed max is apparently 2gb, but since the smallest I can buy is 4gb and it's only $25 I'll see how I go. Might put a small salvaged SSD in it too. Ricer netbook project is go.

Time to embrace the penguin meme I guess.

I have grade A retardation. Everytime I switch to a dfferent OS than windows, I'm more comfortable, but I start missing software (gaymes mostly) I can only use on Windows.

Then I install Windows again, and end up not using that software and not being comfortable enough.

How do I break this vicious cycle?

>>55746957
Dual-boot :)

>>55746967
I already did that several times, but end up just going back to Windows. Which turns into the other thing again.

What's a good alternative for Bluestacks? Dunno if it's just me but Bluestacks seems rather shady.

>>55747110
always depends on specific models

4TB seagates are mighty fine in reliability, would avoid 2 and 3TB

if its for your desktop and you want the quietest HDD then wd 3TB is what I use and cant recommend them enough based on noise parameters

>>55747145
Yes

>>55747110
my rule is more platter greater the risk of failure
1tb seagate is the biggest single platter hdd
while western digital has only 500gb single platter hdd

>>55747173
buying from eshop.gr so it doesnt have all hdds and some are more expensive than they should be.
Im currently between:

Seagate barracuda 1 tb ST1000DM003 50 euro
wd black 1 tb WD1003FZEX 81 euro which is more expensive than it should be
toshiba DT01ACA200 2 tb 73 euro

the rest just arent 7200 rpm and 64 cache

Buying a new PC in the third world, and the store doesn't have the dual channel RAM kit I want. If I get two of the same sticks separately, what are the chances of them not working in dual channel? It all comes down if they have the same part number right? So there's a chance I'll get unlucky still?

>>55747232

I got a problem, so my main mouse died and refuses to work at all. So I am using an old mouse I haven't used ages ago, A4tech X7 XL-740K(the laser one). So basically using it without drives I notice it has a lot of skipping and the DPI-switches are not corresponding to what it is advertised. So my guess was it might need the "software" to work properly. Looking upon their homepage I do find "drivers" and so on. Installs with no problem but when I launch the program it says "connect the mouse to continue" and closes. But the mouse is connected and working. Could it be that Windows 10 is the problem?

Try the Reaper demo. After 30 days all it adds is a launch-only nag screen and IIRC is still fully-featured.

It's not the greatest (still usable tho) if you want mostly to sequence in MIDI, but since you mentioned Pro Tools, you might as well be looking to work with recorded audio.

Hello, I'm building my PC and asked for help on some forum and would like your opinion on some of the hardware choices.

[•]Me
[#]Advised

•CPU
[•]..................INTEL Core i5 6600K BOX
[#]..................INTEL Core i7 6700K BOX
I know about the i7 6700K but I was wondering is it over kill since I'm going to use Virtualization for different OS's, gaming, Photoshop, 3d modeling exc.

•Motherboard
[•]..........Asus Z170 Pro Gaming
[#].........MSI Z170A GAMING M3
I'm still thinking about the Asus motherboard, because people are complaining about the MSI quality control

•GPU
[•]..........GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1070 G1 GAMING
[#]..........GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1080 G1 GAMING
This GPU seems a bit over kill for me since I'm going to game at 1440p on a 27" screen at 60Hz and it's a bit more on the price

•RAM
[•]G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series, F4-3000C15D-16GVRB, DDR4 3000MHz
[#]Kingmax 8GB DDR4 2133MHz
I would like to note that G.Skill is a 2x 8GB Kit for dual channel and the Kingmax is just an ordinary non kit so I would need to get two.

•PSU
[•]EVGA SuperNOVA 750 P2 80+ PLATINUM
[#]Fortron Raider S PSU 650W, 80+ SILVER

Could anyone recommend some quality PSU for this build?

Thank you in advance guy's.

I was hoping to find an EDC thread to ask this but fuck it, I'll try here.

I have 2 cheap pocket knives I use for work. One is the Kershaw Leek and the other is an Ontario RAT which I just got. The Leek goes dull fairly often due to heavy use and I sharpen it back up with a diamond coated 600 grit sharpener. The problem is that I can't ever get it back to a razor's edge using it.

What whetstone or whetstones would I need to get it to be sharp enough to at least shave hair of my arm like when it was new?

I don't think there are really any benefits to getting DDR4 if I recall correctly. I'd say just get DDR3

>I've read that I should avoid Kingston v300 ssd's.
they are fine, people are just jaded because kingston did bate and switch, but there should be new kingston ssds, v300 was around for like 2 years now
still they are fine to get if the price allows you to get 250GB over some samsung pro for 120GB

One of the most important parts but it depends on what are you build along with a good PSU.

What I'm meaning on important is quality build, will you use the technology on the mobo, compatibility, Overclocking capabilities, Chipset exc.

>>55751142
Unless you plan on doing some super overclocking a motherboard doesn't really matter.
Just make sure you get one that meets your need i.e. enough pcie slots, sli support, m.2. support, built in wife, etc.
Personally I got a cheap $40 z97 motherboard from msi and while it doesn't have the best overclocking capabilities its still a nice board

Also avoid Asrock

>>55747711
isp throtling

>>55751142
100% means to an end
you can have expensive or cheap, they break anyway
RMA stats put all brands under 3% overall

if you are not overclocking dont try to put too much emphasiz on the mobo, dont spend $140, spend $70, buy nice B chipset, microATX, in to nice microATX case

if overclocking, you might want to spend some, looking for something better

it uses the electrical circuits in your power outlet to transmit the signal between the two "nodes"

for highlighting, not outlining, you need transparency. transparency may seem simple to us but is actually quite complex within a program and only decently powerful tools can haedue it properly.

The power button on my HTC One M9 is stuck pressed down, so it takes fiddling with it to get the screen on, whenever I press the home button a screenshot is taken, and powering off messages pop up constantly. I didn't drop it or get it wet, this started out of nowhere. I've had this phone for over a year however, so I can't use the warranty to get a new phone. Is there a way to fix this without opening up the phone or sending it for repairs? Should I just get a new phone?

>Is there a way to fix this without opening up the phone or sending it for repairs?
no

>Should I just get a new phone?
prolly no

if you have any tools then try to fix it yourself, if your attached to the phone take it somewhere and have a guy look at it and give you a quote, if your a lazy fuck and have the cash just get a new phone.

>>55749278
Anyone? If it helps I don't think it's the CPU fan since it's been happening for a while and I changed it recently.

>>55752224
Just get 2 sticks of 4. if you want 8. 16 is overkill unless you're going to be playing new new games, or rendering movies.

Any CBR/CBZ users here?

I use CDisplayEx; I recently tried GonVisor and I didn't like it not showing thumbnails of the CBR and CBZ files, so I deleted it and I have these files associated with CDisplayEx again.
The problem is, now my CBR and CBZ files aren't showing thumbnails anymore. What do?

What's a good transfer rate for a SSD? The low end 520mb/s seems like it will still be phenomenally quick to me.

Hi, I recently built my first PC and it's a beast.

Now, one thing I've noticed is that my GPU has been slightly too warm when idle.

Pic related.

Every other component has been nice and cool, but for some reason the GPU is very warm when idle.

I have a Define r4 case without any extra fans.

Is this normal? Should I get more fans? All I have are the default ones (1 in the front and 1 in the back, with 2 extra slots on top, 1 in front and 1 on the side of the case)

it's a good idea to download missing .dll files from some random website? (i don't need them, just asking)

>>55753048
no

>>55753036
Some GPUs are designed to have the fans off at idle so it might be slightly warm, but it won't hurt anything
You can make custom fan profiles to have it running all the time if you really want

>>55753048
Generally no

for the complete noob, what version of linux should i look into to make a htpc?

I want to run universal media server and some sort of remote control program for it that connects to windows.

I tried ubuntu, but it wont let teamviewer work and doesnt have universal media server.

if you have the tools the button may just be stuck. try cleaning it and if not find a workaround for locking it and unlocking it and just remove the button altogether.

If I don't like gaymes or do any hardware intensive shit is there any reason to buy/assemble/steal a desktop or is a laptop good enough?

Laptops have plenty of power for facebook and shitposting

yes technically but no one will ever care.

So yesterday my pc just bricked up as I was opening a tab in my browser, the screen became white vertical lines and I couldn't do anything so I just held the power button to shut it down. When I restarted, my monitor wasn't getting a video signal and from how fast my pc shut off from a press of the power button, it wasn't posting either but had all fans running. I'm at a loss right now because none of my components have been acting up. I did install the new amd drivers the day before however. I've reset the cmos by battery and by the jumper and attempted to boot without a few parts to find out if one was faulty.l also do not have an internal computer speaker at the moment so I'm really unsure about what's wrong. Any help?

Perhaps not.

Anyone using their android tablets to connect to their PCs via RDP?
I often need to do work when i'm on the move, the thing is that I need high precision, low latency and a possibility to use keyboard shortcuts.
Is RDP on Android via LTE really works, or is it just a gimmick?
Will just an average android table with LTE and keyboard do, or should I get Microsoft Surface (which is too expensive)?

>>55753394
on android I only did it over wifi, though I connect to my server over rdp over a shitty DSL connection from time to time and it works really well.

I want a Hackintosh. I have El Capitan running in a virtual machine on Windows.

I have another hard drive connected. I want to install it onto that hard drive and be able to restart my physical computer and install it from that second hard drive over my Windows installation. From virtual to physical, basically.

I've looked around and it's been annoying to deal with. Nothing has helped. I've tried using the USB method, but instead using my hard drive partition as a 'USB', but it didn't boot or do anything. I assumed it was because it was connected through SATA. So, I used my SATA to USB converter as the drive is recognized as a USB device using it, but that didn't work either.

The only reason I can't do the USB method is because I don't have one with a high enough capacity. I don't understand why I can't use my hard drive anyways. Why can't I just install it to the drive from a virtual machine, restart, and have it work? Or... Install it to the drive and install a boot loader on my USB so that I can get into the installation and select the hard drive to install from, if that makes sense.

This is more difficult than it should be. Or at the very least, why can't I use as hard drive or a partition of it and make a USB out of it? What's the difference. It being through a SATA connection, I guess I could understand it not working, but I used a SATA to USB converter, but it still doesn't work. Fuck.

>>55753801
I meant Toshiba in particular, as a manufacturer of hard drives

I had a WD 1tb but never treated it right (reading and writing all the time, droping it a few times) and it had NTFS on it so it wasn't very happy with my laptop's Debian

WHO IN THE FUCKING HELL RECOMMENDS DEBIAN TO BEGINNERS?!?!

Like seriously, how autistic you have to be?
I had serious trouble installing debian and I am on Arch for fucking 3 years

without fucking debian source list generators I would move nowhere
and the need to not just edit fstab, but fucking write it up...

debian is not a fucking thing for noobs

>>55753896
I found installing debian a lot easier.
you press next a few times on the installer and that's it.

>>55753606
I know what you're saying but I'm so sick of the android lag.

>>55753170
start with arch

>>55753926
THATS NO FUCKING TRUE

thats exactly what I expected, when you fucking have to write up fstab, create users, adding repos you have no idea exists and that you need to get basic because my free retardation fanaticsm

its no fucking next clicking, its some badly documented bullshit

why is my broswer firefix nor working any more on 4cqwn? whaen I post irt asays erro4, no fcatcha but i dipoone the captha anfd it wont let me reply to you r post by clickig on it and sotrry causde frankly i am nort gonna go and cut anfd paste it or type the whole number can you help mt e though please?

>>55753961
but I did it multiple times now, all I did was click next.
my servers are running debian too now because it's pretty simple to setup.
the installer took care of adding users, I didn't need any other repos or had to fiddle with fstab.

not sure why you're so angry.

Is USB type-c going to be used on anything important? Is it worth a getting a motherboard with one or should I just get an expansion slot later on if I ever need it?

>>55753961
literally just get gud faggot.

/networking/ question. Specifically Cisco but kind of applies to all.

for Port Channels, can you nest them?

Say if you have a port channel running at 8 physical links AKA the max # of links in a port channel, and another port channel running 8 in it, let's call them Po1 and Po2 -
Can you make a Po3 consisting of the Po1 and Po2 interfaces with 16 physical links since all a port channel is is an interface, or is there something that stops you from doing that like a safeguard or something?

I assume you would have to use up a lot more processing power so your throughput would probably actually end up dropping but could it in theory be done?

Also you can call a Port Channel a LAG if you're not a Cisco person.

What about VPC domains, will they allow this somehow?

>>55754141
USB C is just the shape of the port, its just USB 3.1
It will only determine what type of cable you need to use.
