/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

What is the actual battery percentage when a phone says it's at 0%? 50%? 90%? Cause like, in a car the battery voltage doesn't go to 0 before it's useless, usually it drops by 1 volt out of 12 and then it's dead.

Why doesn't running

awful.mouse.resize.set_mode("after")

Seem to work? I'm having problems with live updates during window resize on awesome being a little slow due to this being a VM and this sounds like a great solution for me, to update windows once I let go of the key but I get an error about trying to populate a nil field.

this website says that I can only read an encrypted microsd from the same phone i encrypted it on

is that true?

if i encrypt a microsd on my pc (thinkpad with ubuntu), will it be readable and writable on my android?

or do i need to load the files i want onto the microsd first, then encrypt it from my phone?

no weird shit, I just do not like the idea that if the phone ever gets stolen, someone can see pictures of me and my family if they take out the card and mount it on a pc

Yeah I know, I just need the fucking ThinkPad trackpoint configuration commands to run on login or startup, they don't get called unless I run them manually after I log in
>all the other xinitrc shit that should exist has been removed because I have to run it manually

>>56377276
Phone battery percentages are largely artificial. For instance it's damaging for a phone to stay at fully charged, so when you charge it all the way up it will actually then let itself discharge 5% or so but keep saying 100% so people don't wig out.

Have you considered using whatever method your wm has for autostarting programs and just adding a script for your wm to start?

>>56377395
Just turn it around. I think the real problem is going to be having your monitor 2 inches from the back of your PC.

.xinitrc is ONLY for startx. If you want something to run with your DE, let the DE start it.

>>56377402
I'll try that, but isn't .xinitrc supposed to run every time x starts regardless?

>>56377447
No, the issue is that I want a displayport to HDMI or DVI adapter. As in Female Displayport to Male HDMI or DVI.

Cannot fucking find one. Everything is the reverse of that.

I really don't understand how this could work. I /do not/ want to use the DisplayPort port on my graphics card because it is fucked by design. I /do/ want to use that port on my monitor. I don't understand how I could do this with a DisplayPort cable because, as you said, female DisplayPort adapters do not exist.

Seems like my only solution is to buy an HDMI 2.0 cable.

>>56377451
>>56377492

>DP female cable is not allowed by DP spec.
I'm 95% certain I have a miniDP to female DP adapter somewhere that is a 6" cable

>>56377684
There's no such thing as an HDMI 2.0 cable. All hdmi cables except hella legacy ones are the same. What you need to watch out for is a monitor that's not 2.0 complaint. If you're going DVI you just need to make sure it's a dual link cord.

>>56377912
>>56377896
You have to replace the png with the fullsize version scaled down, the thumbnails are jpg which don't support transparency and 4chan's thumbnailer just chooses blue for where transparency should be

In that case, 4chan X does not do that.

Steam gets write errors, and then the disk goes dead. Folders are all still there, but when you go in, no files. I often reboot to Debian and run ntfsfix on the drive, which briefly fixes it until I write to it heavily again.

I gave up last night and when it was working, copied all the files to an external drive. I Initially thought it was just the filesystem shitting bricks cause of the two partitions somehow, so I wiped the drive completely and repartitioned it with /home at the start of the drive, games at the end. /home works absolutely fine, all my files are there etc no issue, however the ntfs partition died again as I was copying across the files from the external HD.

There's no clicking and no issues show up on SMART (however, tools such as CrystalDiskInfo and DiskCheckup cannot read the SMART info once the drive has "died").

Sorry to keep pressing and sorry if this is obvious, but it's important I know exactly the situation here - (with respect to internet activity) exactly what information is saved to the hdd, and in what form is it recoverable?

I should say here that I have no idea what the precise details of the incident are, I just want to assist this person so that they know all the information.

When you write to a disk through a filesystem, 0's and 1's are physically written on the platter(s).

When a filesystem (software) is deleting something (exclude the recycle bin from this, that's just something in the UI, basically) it just marks the space on the physical drive as being empty. It doesn't actually remove any data, just metadata (filename, directory, creation time, etc). The actual file is still there. There is software you can download right now to see deleted files (google photorec).

So if the person was using a standard browser and then deleting history every month or two, all of that data would be saved to disk and recoverable? What about if they used incognito mode?

>>56379280
So, if I'm understanding you correctly, that means that there's actually no way of permanently deleting any file that has ever been saved onto your computer? Unless, presumably, the physical hard drive is permanently destroyed.

8.1 is respectable, so far as windows is ever respectable, now that they've stopped whoring 10 on it, but it's pretty botnet given recent, ignorable updates

10 offers dx12 support if you're into that sort of thing, but it's botnet

7 is light and not as botnet, but doesn't support dx12. Probably the way to go if you don't want dx12

>>56379326
You just installed windows 7, why would there be a virus?
I read somewhere about some update you have to manually install or something. Could be wrong though because that was a fix for updates in general, not security updates

>>56379336
.there's actually no way of permanently deleting any file that has ever been saved onto your computer?
No, just by default deleting things through the recycling bin does not do this, you need a tool that will actually overwrite the file instead of just marking it as empty. Just look for something that does secure erase.

>>56379326
OH I should mention that the search that led me to the possibility of malware being the cause was from an error message interrupting the manual install. I interrupted the "Windows Update" service through the Services GUI as per advice through a previous Google search to try and force the manual update to stop from getting stuck on "Searching for updates"

Sorry if this seems convoluted, I just want some fucking updates.

>>56379336
>So, if I'm understanding you correctly, that means that there's actually no way of permanently deleting any file that has ever been saved onto your computer? Unless, presumably, the physical hard drive is permanently destroyed.

there is, overwrite the data with something else. either by complete accident or with intention

>>56379354
What's dx12 for? Just for recent games?

>>56379336
you can absolutely permanently delete files, there are programs available which will overwrite data 1, 2, 7, etc times using only 0s or 1s

windows does not, by default, allow this. you need a separate program

shameless bump for my own question >>56379245

>>56379358
That's my thought process, I've never gotten a virus in over 3 years of not having an antivirus. I'm not a dumbass but shit happens.

That's the first thing I came across but those manual updates also got stuck on "Searching for Windows Updates to install" or whatever the message is. That's what led me to installing a security update manually. Could be that interrupting the service as mentioned in >>56379365 was what brought up the error (makes sense that a simple trojan would interrupt updates through that method).

So I most likely don't have a virus but I manual updates still get stuck. Any suggestions?

I never understood the point of that. If you've overwritten the data once with 0's, is there any scientific evidence that shows data can still be recovered from those overwritten sectors?

is there anything wrong with either of these outside of the price?

The answer is exactly 12.2GiB. It doesn't matter how large your SSD is, as long as you have 12.2GiB free it won't impact performance whatsoever. You can test this by filling your SSD all the way up to aformentioned limit and then running a speed test. You will notice your hard drive functions exactly the same as if it were half full.

The reason has to do with physics, the physics of silicon and quantum physics. As long as you have 12.2GiB free in the SSD the silicon won't experience quantum tunneling, which hinders performance. SSDs have an error correcting code built in them along with SMTA and other technologies that try to fix the error writes caused by tunneling, but using it makes the SSD slower. Because of this however manufacturers can sell their SSDs at 120GiB while effectively they have less space unless you want write and read speeds to drop 2/3.

Samsung actually found a way to go around this with their 850 EVO, the 3d nand thing refers to this technology. It uses a certain kind of cache for when you have less than 12.2GiB free so it doesn't experience decresed speed. This doesn't apply for large files, but pictures etc will load much faster. I think Kingston and other manufacturers are working on a similar kind of thing for their next gen of SSDs but right now Samsung is the best buy even though it's GGE TLD instead of JJE.

There's rumors that the Samsung 860 EVO will use quark treated silicon which doesn't have limitations at all but so far they haven't been able to produce a demo for the public.

>>56379644
>doesn't the 1070 support dx12?
not async compute which is the most important part.

>>56379629
Yes, I do it quite often every day. In fact I've never seen a context menu when I've tried to do this, what the hell are you talking about?

What type of code will I be writing for the average employer?

It's designed for DX11, if you use it with DX12 it will just run a virtual machine which hosts DX12. That's why you get less performance gains with DX12 compared to DX11. AMD doesn't do this so their cards benefit more from DX12.

The 1070 and 1080 are just rebranded 900-series cards. Sure, they are new, but their cores are only 10% different in design approximately and they are designed to run DX11 primarily.

I don't know if this is better suited for /v/ or here but my 380 is hitting 84c at 70% fan speed when playing the battlefield 1 beta. Is this temperature at this fan speed a concern or is it OK? Should I clean the card?

Is it better to buy an i5 6600k with an overclock mobo and top coolers OR a locked i7 6700 with a okay mobo and stock cooler?

>>56379689

Because they are technically superior operating systems. They are actually very similar, but where OS X is closer to BSD, Linux is more of its own design.

Compared to Windows, both UNIX-like systems are better in design. You have to understand Windows is mostly made by a bunch of Indians, where OS X and most big distros are made by people who actually understand what they are doing.

If OS X were to be released to all computers I think Windows, in its current shape, might lose the throne. OS X doesn't update by itself and break drivers, Linux doesn't do that either. Linux will never be mainstream because of the copyleft movement, but OS X isn't so tight about that.

If you want to know the main difference, try doing something with powershell. It's useless. Then learn to use the console in OS X or Linux and learn why people prefer those two for real work.

>>56379788

You're actually better off buying the 6700 with a shit mobo because it has 8 effective cores and will turbo itself when you need the extra speed. The 6600K is just a meme.

>>56379788
Depends on if your load is single thread heavy or multithreaded
A 6600k overclocked will have much better single thread performance than a 6700, but the 6700 will probably have better multithreaded performance.

you can't even imagine how often I have to tell this to people...

Okay, so bait is confirmed
Here's a final (You)

just got a macbook for school and having issues with desktop backgrouds

I found a particular picture I want to use as my desktop background so I rightcliked or control clicked it or whatever you call it, I chose set as desktop background and confirmed it. The thing is is that the popup window stays like that saying "Saving picture" indefinitely. Ok, that's weird. I close out of that window and try doing it the long way. I saved the image to an images folder on my desktop then went to system preferences to change it there. The problem is my images folder doesn't show up. Eventually I figured out how to display the images folder but it shows no images in the box to the right. Even after navigating and double clicking the image I want it just opens it up in Preview.

Is there some step im missing to get a custom image to be set as my desktop background? As someone who has worked with computers for years I feel absolutely clueless

I'm looking for a piece of software that works as an integrated dictionary.
When highlighting a word and right clicking, I want it to give me an option to Define (so it would be under Copy, for example, the define selection.)

Suggestions? Preferably the software be based on a respectable, actual dictionary, like merriam-webster.

>A physical core is what it sounds like - an actual physical processor core in your CPU. Each physical core has its own circuitry and its own L1 (and usually L2) cache can read and execute instructions separately (for the most part) from the other physical cores on the chip.

>A logical core is more of a programming abstraction than an actual physical entity. A simple definition of a logical core is that it is a processing unit that is capable of executing its own thread in parallel with other logical cores. In fact you could say that a logical core is the same as a thread.

>You can have multiple logical cores per physical core. However logical cores share resources with other logical cores operating on the same physical core, so having more logical cores will not necessarily get you the same performance increase as having more physical cores.

i'm gonna call bait before you say 'lel trolled' because there's no coming back from this amount of stupid

>>56379746
I expand the image, and to save it, I simply want to drag the image to the destination folder. Its more efficient than clicking->save as

>>56379978
nope, other way around because you can, given the proper cooling, overclock the shit out of the i5, while the i7 is locked to a certain max speed

a locked i7 will always have the advantage over a same generation overclockable i5 in multithreaded applications, just not single threaded

>>56379978

The i7 is more expensive for a reason. Of course it will be better in the future because it effectively has more cores.

What do you think will matter more? 8 cores or 4 overclocked cores. 8 x 3.5 Ghz = 28 Ghz, 4 x lets say 4.4Ghz = 17.6 Ghz.

See now?

gaymes still don't parallelize their workloads very well so the 6600k is probably your best bet.

In performance the motherboard is useless right? Its all matter of more/less features like USB, RAM frequency, SLI/crossfire isnt it?

If im getting a locked i7 and a gtx1070 i might as well pick some b150/h110 mobo instead of z170 mobos right?

Assume with overclocking the i5 will perform 20% faster than the listed scores, so the i7 still beats it in many multithreaded benchmarks, but not by much. The 6600k will win in all single threaded benchmarks by a large margin

Thanks mane. What about the motherboard? I'm gonna guess probably not.

>>56380617

No, because the GPU driver is embedded in the kernel once you have installed windows so that's immediately a no-go unless it's the same series like an R9 280 and R9 290 would be.

Cables don't really matter but the CPU cooler does. When you install windows it creates a fan profile for the CPU fan so it doesn't spin at full RPM all the time. If you change it to another fan that is different in size, it will either have a wrong profile for it, meaning it's loud or it doesn't rev enough to cool your rig while gaming.

If you are planning on updating that many parts better just reinstall windows.

Its somewhere between 3.3 and 3.6 volts, depends on how much the manufacturer cares. Fully charged is 4.2 volts. Starts getting real risky when you drop as far as 3 volts. I don't think it makes sense to assign a percentage to that, total power losses useful meaning when the battery is on fire.

Is Davinci Resolve a good editing software?

I want to know if it's worth itbefore I register and try it out. (It's free)

ok thanks

I want to buy a Chromebook and install Linux on it. Any recommendations on which distro I should use?

Link related is what im thinking of buying

Is there a PC alternative to the gtranslate android app? I do finally have a shitty android phone now but fuck taking photos of my monitor.

I'm getting the exact same speed on my USB 3.0 and USB 2 ports.

Is there a reason why that would happen?

>>56382525
Install USB 3.0 drivers

>>56382525
Are you using a USB 3.0 device?

>>56382525
There are thousands of potential devices you could be using via usb, care to narrow it down?

>>56382537
I will try that
>>56382541
Yes
>>56382547
Kingston SSD with a Sata to USB cable.
SSD and cable both work fine (tested on an ther computer)

>>56377329
I've tried this

I used LUKS to make an encrypted USB drive with a fat32 filesystem. It didn't work even though Android uses LUKS internally for encryption

10% should be good enough, Reece. It's what Samsung Magician recommends in the Over Provisioning tab.

i want to use linux for the following reasons:
>ricing, extreme personalization, and a powerful interface
>keeping a database of general info like infographics, notetaking from educational shit, timers, alarms, to-do lists. i prefer something graphical, unlike emacs org mode.
>ban evasion. not from 4chan necessarily, but other places. i don't ban evade often. i'm not trying to harass anyone, either. i just like the ability to do so. maybe a simple vpn would be sufficient.
>backing up important/valuable files, like my database shit, music, videos, pictures, pron.

from what i've learned so far, i need to understand the following:
>wget
>curl
>python/bash scripting
>regular expressions, grep

i like the idea of using a computer as an extremely powerful tool for carrying out your goals. i'm a recovering addict, and i've always been a nerd, so i want to get really autistic about establishing goals, and achieving them.

the potential problems i have with this include having a sedentary lifestyle, worsening my carpal tunnel condition due to all the typing (i'm really fucking verbose in the first place, as you can see), and it seems time-consuming.

fortunately, i'm a hard worker.

so, give me your input. has anyone here been using linux in a similar way (to organize yourself), and how does it feel to use it?

and is what i want to use linux for realistic? i'm assuming it's more powerful (and more secure/private) than windows.

>>56381414
i did unmount the drive, it was after that that i started having problems with the disk service

I can't for the love of me upgrade my external micro sd card in a kobo aura h2o, I tried copying it's contents from the original micro sd card to the new one and the ereader shows the library empty
anyone got any suggestions?

>>56382614
If you want to kill time before you die and keep yourself occupied so you stay off drugs, sure.

You would probably be happier ripping people off and getting high with people that will listen to your rambling bullshit though.

>>56382537
Yup, that was it.

I got too used to Windows installing them automatically to think about that...

I'm upgrading to an SSD soon and one of the many reasons for this is that my HDD makes noise when I do stuff and sometimes when I'm not doing anything at all.
If I'm using the OS from my SSD will these noises continue? I assume if I'm storing or accessing something on the drive it will, but as long as I'm not using it it should stay quiet right?

For those of you who are working in CS related fields, do you find your work challenging or are you on autopilot throughout the work day?

>>56382708
Depends on if the firmware powers it down when not in use, or if the power settings in windows are configured as such

Normally some noise is common since there are moving parts, but if the head is impacting the platters or something there could be problems.
Run a SMART check or drive health check and if it passes I wouldn't worry about some noise. WD Black drives in particular are known for being loud

>>56382508
Bump

>>56382749
It's definitely not a dangerous sound and the health checks said its fine. I guess I'll have to see when I set up my drive and mess around with the power settings. thanks tho

>>56382791
I don't think it will work. Would kill battery life if it did work.

>>56382791
>>56382881
Yeah, live wallpapers are a gimmick that needlessly drains battery life

I want to get a portable shitposting machine, also to get notes and some old games (like Counter Strike 1.6, Age of Empires 2, Arena, etc)

The only shit I might be able to get in this country for a logical price is a ASUS x201e.

So, how is it? It's a piece of shit?

(My other options are some local brand computer, which I don't trust)

>>56381349
>>56382635
bump because things are getting worse, random applications that worked a few days ago are now encountering errors when i try to start them

>>56382926
Don't expect much for gaming, even for things like counter strike

Otherwise, it's a portable laptop with average battery life and should do fine for most other things. Asus generally makes pretty good shit

On my task manager my cpu usage never exceeds 30%, and neither does my memory... so why do my windows lock up for anywhere from 30 seconds to five minutes from time to time?
Am I a part of a botnet?

How do i fix these? The higher the numbers are the more i lagg in games...

>>56377329
No it encrypts it using a salt in Android probably created through your passcode or pattern. Best way to get security and still be able to move files to and from the microsd just transfer them by mounting the phone via usb or using adb to copy files

>>56383024
Shouldn't be throttling with those temps, you're probably just maxing out your CPU

My computer keeps randomly doing it's low power action even though it is plugged into the wall outlet.
How could this be? Is my charger cable's AC adapter at fault, or could it be my battery/iGPU shitting itself?

Just doing basic shit like watching a video will trigger it sometimes.


I should really disable hibernation.

Change the power options retard

>>56383100
Fabric. Better breathing, and lasts longer. Synthetic leather is just cheap plastic

Not quite /g/ related, but I might as well bother. Would there be any problems if I bought Steam keys on a heavily discounted sale, and then resold them via eBay and the like? Thinking about making some dosh with that Castle of Illusion game,

>>56383122
Yea man, your right, thanks! Anything else?

>>56381334
yes
no

>>56381547
Why are you even asking this question?

I wouldn't even consider this stupid, but rather not make a whole thread about it.

Is there a program or extension / addon for a web browser that can force a pop out window for any video so you can resize it.

My current computer situation doesn't allow for fullscreen to stay on one screen it stretches to all 3.

I found a chrome extension that does this to youtube videos but I was wondering if there was an all encompassing program that would work with any media player?

Follow up question: if this doesn't exist what would be the logistics of creating such a program?

>>56381888
Surely this is an obvious question?
It's not a small but obscure question like everything in this thread, it's legitimately a stupid question.

Why did so many old FPSes have such weird perspectives? It always seemed like your guy was either crouching or a midget, especially when you're near something 'your size'.

>>56383522
Your view is moved to be close to where your gun in because bullets generally come out of your camera to prevent parallax issues

>>56383545
Yeah, but modern FPSes seemed to have fixed this wonky perspective, it seemed to be a thing mostly in 5th gen shooters. It must've been related to technical issues, like the enemies or world at a proper scale wouldn't be correctly visible on lower resolutions of the day or something.

>>56382956
Seriously, fucking Counter Strike 1.6?

>>56384127
It might be playable, but at lower settings. The processor is an old Ivy Bridge mobile chip with integrated graphics, at least that's what google said

Is there a way to make qBittorrent torrents always save torrents to the default incomplete/complete locations specified at the time the .torrent files were opened?

I'm trying to switch from utorrent and after I successfully checked a bunch of torrents on an external with qb and switched defaults locations on my internal, qb started transferring all the files onto my internal.

Building my first PC, trying to connect the tower fans together but they don't make any sense.

The front and top fans connect in sequence to pic related, which doesn't seem to fit anything on my motherboard. The back main fan has a standard 3-pin connector, which I assume connects to the SYSTEM FAN socket, but it's a 4 pin socket (though it does have a 3-pin bracket, is it usable for either?)

Seriously, no idea where pic related goes

>>56384267
molex connector
goes directly to the psu

>>56384339
My psu doesn't have any kind of slot for that thing. Is there a connector I need?

>>56384360
Oh never mind, literally just picked up the connector cables out of the box. Thanks

>>56384360
You're probably not looking hard enough

>>56384368
The only cable I have that fits this is this monstrosity. Somehow I feel this is incorrect.

Whoops

1080p at 144hz or 1440p at 60? with a gtx 1070

>>56384942
flip a coin

>>56384942
Do you prefer improved motion clarity and the 3d meme, or more image clarity, screen real estate, better document/webpage viewing and awkward conversion for movies?

>>56384966
might as well at this point

>>56385013
Honestly i've never seen a montior with above 60hz. But I'm a big fan of image clarity and whatever will give me the best viewing experience of my media.

>>56385056
Most people prefer the increased resolution, especially on the larger monitors. Makes doing shit easier, even in games. Also trying to play movies at higher framerates gives them the soap opera effect, although that's usually not to hard to disable. Only downside to 1440 is that 1080p isn't perfectly converted, but most people won't notice the difference.
