/SQT/ - Stupid Question Thread

Oh shit, the last thread was >>56391150 , my bad.

My Android smartphone got stuck into a bootloop after trying to bypass the FRP, should I ask for a replacement or try to fix it myself?

If yes to the latter, should I just wait three days to enter my account, or should I try to bypass it again using another method?

Really want to ask for a replacement right now. The second I entered in my Jewgle shit is the second it started getting warm to the touch.

What are some good, trustworthy sites to download apks from?

Im trying to repair a laptop.

HP DV5 to be exact.
So far no luck turning it on, power socket seems loose but the owner said it was working.

Charging LED doesn't work apparently, no luck trying to boot it without battery, opted to leave it charging for a while.

What would be the next step to do, open it and reseat/move it?
Wait a while while it charges?
What?

>>56401178
Make sure to check the power socket. That same shit happened to my shitty Dell Inspiron, and because the socket was soldered on, I couldn't easily replace it.

> HP
> not an EliteBook
Yeah, good fucking luck.
Chances are you're going to have to desolder then resolder the power socket after you disassemble the damn thing.

Alternatively, it could just be a problem with your power supply.

>>56401243
I would go with mATX, but that's just because I've had some good experiences with it.

If you go with ITX, you won't be able to get as good cooling if you go with an ITX case as well.

Also, if you don't need that many ports, I would go for ITX. But personally, I would like an mATX.

Is it possible to map keyboard keys as media keys in Debian(based) linux?

I would like a play/pause/skip button, but the keyboard I use currently doesn't have them. So I think I could deal with page up/ down, etc being substitutes.

How do I be intelligent on torrents?
I understand VPN's are good IF you can trust them, but broke college boy at the moment.

I understand that torrent groups that respect seeding and invites are good. What should I bare in mind with that other then the fact that it will run the shit out of my internet from my ISP?

You should seriously just use Private Trackers though

Also, I don't want to have to install fucking drivers, either.

I need both a GPU and monitor. I'm looking at the 470/480 and the 1060.

Is the cash you save on freesync monitors a good enough reason to rule out the 1060 at this point? It seems that way to me but I figured I'd ask here.

I'm having an odd problem.

I have 3 powerline adapters in my house to connect devices to.
However, in the last 2 months or something, the connection of the lines start slowly dying the closer it gets to midnight. Around then my connection usually completely dies, but when I wake up in the morning it's like nothing happened.
The modem/router still work fine, only the devices connected to the powerline start suffering from lower connection rate and connection drops.

Any ideas what might cause this?

>>56402962
No, I didn't.

To my knowledge, you have to wait three days after a password change or whatever before you can use it for unlocking your phone after something like a remote reset, which I did.

I put in the correct account, the only account I had associated with that phone, that I had created just for that phone, and it would not let me into my fucking phone, and I didn't want to wait three fucking days to get in there, so I tried to get around it.

I was pretty successful, but RootJunky's sdk didn't work, so I found another way. I altered a few settings and stopped a few services before I rebooted, though, so I cannot use that method until I get out of bootloop.

I have 2x2GB DDR2 and a Q6600 in my computer.

Looking at the BIOS, it sees all 4096MB of RAM, but right below it there is a "Total system memory" and it reads only 3376MB.

The system POSTs, but the second it attempts to load Windows from the HDD, it BSoDs and restarts itself.

What is going on and how do I fix it? Already tried reseating everything. Now using 1x2GB + 1x1GB.

>>56403140
Previously it was 2x1GB, I just tried upgraded it today to 2x2GB, which didn't work.

>>56403140

You should probably go for a 771 adapter, Xeon processor, and some DDR2 ECC RAM.

Okay.

>>56403140
You using on-board graphics senpai? If so, check your BIOS to make sure you haven't given it 768MB of memory, as it will take it from your RAM.

As always, reformat, re-install. If your windows installation is 32-bit, it may be throwing a hissy fit over seeing more than 3 gigs of ram

>>56403232
Could it boot off USB before?
You could try to boot memtest86 to verify it's the RAM.
I don't think it is as usually if one chip on the stick fails the whole stick won't work, and the system won't POST until you take it out.
You could also try wiping the BIOS by using the jumpers on the mobo if you have them or taking the cmos battery out for 5 mins

How well does 1600x900 work on a 14" ultra/notebook for daily stuff like writing, browsing, light programming etc.? It's not that easy to get 14" with 1080p and 900p gives many more possible buying options.

>>56403329
That's actually not a bad resolution even on a 17 inch. For the basics it would be fine.

>>56403262
I have a hunch it is a faulty stick. Booting with just that 2GB stick alone causes the same problem.

Booting with the other 2gb stick is fine.

which is weird since it POSTs and the system detects all 4gb ram.

Pretty sure that much battery drain is not supposed to happen in airplane mode,

Anyway, I've got a string of cell phones I'm looking at to replace the old droid 3 I've got.

Motorola Droid 4 (provided I don't get a lemon again.)
Kyocera brigadier
Casio Commando (the 4g one)

Basically I don't need something totally bomb proof (I work for the forest service, bomb resistant is fine), and I'm a fan of slate sliders. I've also found conflicting info on the droid 4 as there's allegedly one floating around that you can remover the battery on without voiding the warranty on it...

Not him, but do you think it's still sane to buy a i5 4690K (as opposed to i5 6600K) to pair with a GTX 1080 for a new 144hz/1440p gaming rig?
I already have 12gb of DDR3, so I'm not feeling like the skylake upgrade is worth it for me. I do have futureproofing in mind, but my only early outdated purchase would be the mobo when I need a CPU upgrade. Knowing sockets, 1151 will become quickly outdated anyway even if I buy the 6600K skylake.

It feels like the i5 4690k has been around forever.

gpu clock or memory clock? how do i know its stable when benchmarking? what about power limit? thank you

>>56405911
put power limit to the max if you want, it's just how far it would go before throttling itself.
first gpu clock to what you want it to be, then memory clock.
run a graphical benchmark like heaven and check for visual artifacts, let it run a few minutes.
if it crashes or you can see artifacts/glitches it's not stable.

read up on some OC benchmarks to see how high other people get to.

Bit of a stretch but does anyone have any solid resources about mirroring (RAID1) mixed SSDs? I do still worry more about some sort of (semi-)systematic failure (eg controller bugs) than wear or completely random failures, and in that context I suppose mixing different SSDs would make sense. But the traditional wisdom is that RAIDs should use matched drives, but I'm not sure if that really still applies.

Leading to me getting prime 95 temps of 90C +.

I went into bios and set the clock manually at 4.2 and the voltage at 1.25v. Now using Prime95 I get in the high 60s at worst.

Whenever I try to install Arch or Gentoo on a spare HDD, the installation process comes to a complete halt when it's time to configure the bootloader.

Now, I have installed Arch and Gentoo in VM's on several different occasions, so as to prep me for installation on actual hardware. But whenever I try configuring grub, the process gets fucked up. I gef issues such as "efi is not a boot partition" whenever I chose to target it towards UEFI. However, I never encountered this problem in a VM environment when configuring grub for either BIOS or UEFI. I tried looking for solutions in the Gentoo handbook and the Arch wiki, but I just end up with autistic non-answers.

Should I opt to configure Grub as BIOS the next time I install either Arch or Gentoo on actual hardware, or should I keep at it with the UEFI configuration for Grub. I heard it doesn't necessarily matter if you configure Grub for BIOS even if your mobo is UEFI.

Yesterday I made a post asking about costs for laser printers versus inkjet printers,
but did not receive an answer, so I am here today to post what I found out about it.

Inkjet cartridges are typically much easier to refill than toner cartridges.
I would not bother with generic toner refills, but offical toner is moderately more expensive than generic ink refills.

Comparing official toner replacements and official inkjet cartridge replacements is a no-brainer. Toner cartridges, even official ones, are able to print vastly more pages than the typical inkjet printer (1500 versus 180 for their half filled replacements, 2500 and 320 for their "XL" ones).
As with the initial purchase of the printer itself, laser toner is much more of an upfront investment, with black toner replacements alone going for about $40-50 each.
With inkjet black refills, the most I would be able to get about 450 pages for $25.

This puts black replacement at around $0.018/page for laser and $0.056/page for inkjet.
If you factor in other colors, both rates increase.

The generic ink for my printer is 120mL of black and 90mL of colored ink for about $13. Compared to the combo packs that give about 3.5mL of black and 4.0mL of color for $25-30, you get about 28x more ink for roughly half the cost.

This puts the generic refill cost at about $0.003/page for generic black+tricolor, or $0.001/page for just black. That is 6x and 18x cheaper than black toner respectively.

>>56406491
Here's some updates to avoid

The windows 10 updates don't matter anymore because microsoft pulled the notifications.

They'll still be offering security-only rollups, but you'll need to use a tool like WSUS or download them manually from the Update Catalog (with IE if microsoft doesn't get their shit together).

It's probably worth while to make a slipstreamed iso of all the current updates that you want using windows DISM or the handy RT7lite tool. Unfortunately it's kind of a pain without using the convenience rollup, which has telemetry in it. I doubt microsoft is going to add much of anything that tempting in the future so skipping the non-security updates from here on out should be fine.

This puts the generic refill cost at about $0.003/page for generic black+tricolor, or $0.001/page for just black. That is 6x and 18x cheaper than black toner respectively.

It isn't really fair to compare generic black inkjet and official black toner, but the only reason I would consider the generic refills at all is because it was a $30 inkjet printer that I would not miss if it got messed up, and because the refill process for the inkjet cartridges is so much simpler; it is as simple as pouring the ink and putting the cartridge back in place, unlike some toner cartridges which do not always have easy access to the toner chamber, and often have other complicated parts preventing access or refills, such as electronic chips or mechanical parts.

In that sense it is lucky that the ink level sensors on my printer are broken, so refilling requires zero effort to workaround the printer design.

I'm glad that you did not answer me yesterday, as I did not provide any information about my current printer, which would've left me with a cost analysis of buying a new printer that I did not necessarily need to save money on printing.

Thanks /sqt/.

hey MrPants.
You've helped countless number of people on here on the daily. What do you get out of this?

My dad's shitty laptop starts up fine but when you start chrome (or maybe any resource intensive process, idk, haven't checked) it near completely freezes for an age, and in resource management it shows the disk being completely blocked (the little blue line goes to 100%, and only a few kb of IO happens)

Running a live usb linux distro was perfectly fine, so it's either something with the windows install, or the hdd. I ran badblocks and it was at 121 badsectors at about 18%, then it lost power and i cba to run it again.

CrystalDiskInfo shows it as having a warning under current pending sector count, which is at 39. Chkdsk runs very fast, didn't really see any output.

I'm thinking the HDD is probably dying, will probably try reinstalling because that'll need doing if it gets replaced anyway, but it'll probably be more cost effective to just get him a x220 with an ssd.

Is the hard drive probably fucked, or anything I can do?

That chart was never relevant. The Backblaze CEO issued a statement shortly after that chart started making the rounds explaining why it looks so fucked up; Backblaze intentionally bought a huge batch of shitty drives. Seagate openly told them that the drives would have a massive failure rate and gave them a deep discount on them. Backblaze calculated that the price per drive was low enough that it was better to buy two of these shitty drives than one WD or HGST drive and just replace the failed drives.

HGST drives are premium, but if you don't want to spend as much, it's a toss up between Seagate and WD in most cases. I have two Seagate drives that are eight years old and one that's four years old-- they all work fine.

After reading the website I started following the mpv-build guide.
>If you want bleeding edge functionality, link against git versions of FFmpeg or if a package for your platform is not available or updated, you can build mpv from source code. The helper build scripts are recommended for most users since they perform a static build of FFmpeg and libass as well as mpv.

vs

>Distributions usually package outdated, unmaintained, and unsupported versions of mpv. This is especially true for popular distros like Debian and Ubuntu. You are recommended to use mpv-build or 3rd party packages instead.

I can't find the statement made by the CEO, but here is an article explaining the circumstances surrounding why they bought shitty drives. They continue to buy cheap as fuck drives to this day, although when I say "shitty" and "cheap as fuck" it's kind of relative since Backblaze buy very few enterprise drives. I kind of forgot a lot of the original article I read, but it seems that the warning that Backblaze got in regards to high failure rates were largely related to the external drives that they ripped apart.

https://www.backblaze.com/blog/3tb-hard-drive-failure/

>They've been continuing to release these charts for years
Yes, and if you cared to look at the results for any year after 2013, you'll find that Seagate's drives are completely in line with their competitors in terms of reliability. Again, all of this is in the context of running these drives hard for years on end, which isn't something most consumers are going to do in the first place. So if you intend to buy a hard drive to read and write from constantly for like two years straight and you buy a 4TB Seagate drive, it has a whopping 3% chance to fail, according to Backblaze's numbers from the past two years.

is Arch the best distro for ricing? also why is arch a meme? if you dont update the componens every hour, will it most likely run without breaking?

It is true that if you're on a non bleeding edge distro you might have outdated packages, but generally it's a lot easier to manage your installed software if you install it all from the repos. Then, if you find you're missing a feature you need or there's a bug that's been fixed, look at compiling it yourself.

If mint is the same as debian/ubuntu you can probably install it by just running

sudo apt-get install mpv

Does your university offer Enterprise versions of it? I have ISOs for 7/8/8.1/10 from my university and we can activate it simply by connecting to the university network via VPN.

just got my first dual monitor and I've got things mostly tweaked how I like, but the only thing I'm having problems with is how easily the mouse jumps between monitors. I was told to get dual display mouse monitor so add a slight delay to the jump to alleviate this problem, but sometimes it seems to forget what monitor is in focus (especially after leaving a full screen application) and stops working and I'm not sure how to get it back, short of relaunching the program. is there something I should be doing to make it refocus, or are there any alternative/better programs to use?

If you type "whereis" in a console, does it say whereis is not a command or give you a whereis command example? ./generate-localinstall-desktop.py uses whereis to find libmpv.

I should have worded that better.

Only if you don't have your dad blasting football in the next room, or a roommate banging on stuff regularly. It will be more sensitive than you expect.

Not saying you have to do placebo shit like putting mattress padding on the walls but just keep that in mind.

>>56409162
alright, could the sensitivty be dampened by using one of those fluffy or foam cover things?

Ok this is driving me nuts, how do I remove the alphabet list from appearing as default in my Start Menu. I recently reinstalled Windows 10 and this shit started happening, I have no idea why that is as it never appeared as default (it's accessible by clicking the = icon normally).

Anyone have any idea how to fix this? It's driving me nuts.

>>56408971

but why do you have to update all the time?

ist the concept of "if it aint broke dont fix it" apllyable to linux? i understand if there is security risks, but if not then why?

The foam covers only help with stuff "hitting" it, like wind or your breath. It's job is to pick up sound and it does it well, too well sometimes. Another problem is the size of it forcing you to buy accessories directly for the Yeti which usually costs a ton thanks to the shilling from popular Let's Players. I got a dynamic microphone which allows me to use glorious chink shit for accessories, like shockmounts or swivel arm stands for <20$. It has a narrower range which helps me out.

The yeti does have a narrower range setting along with some others which is its best feature, so it's not a bad product at all.

Because arch is rolling release, bug fixes, security fixes, etc, will be released in new versions but not old ones, new software will depend on new versions of software which you don't have yet.

This makes it a lot easier to maintain, and thus despite being bleeding edge, is secure, reasonably stable, and simple

The arch always breaks meme is just that, it really doesn't, it's broke once for me in over a year and that was nvidia's fault. You should be updating stable distros like debian, and windows too, arch just has more frequent updates.

I live in a basement apartment and I'm getting wifi from the apartment upstairs. The speed is ~60 Mbps down. However, they ran an ethernet connection to the basement for me and when I connect to that I get ~130mbps.

My question is, would it be worth investing in my own router for the basement apartment? Would I be able to get faster speeds? Or would the speed difference be negligible?

Also the router I was planning on buying was the TP-LINK Archer C5 (because it's on sale), if that makes a difference.

Found the issue, it appears in an anniversary update Microsoft removed the All Apps button and instead replaced it by forcing you to always have the alphabet menu as default.

If you do not want this to happen to your Win 10, DO NOT INSTALL THIS UPDATE.

>>56409511
$ whereis libmpv.so

Doesn't look like its finding anything with that command. If I search in the file manager, it's found in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

OKAY I think I have a weird situation but I might just be retarded

So I have a dell precision t3500 workstation tower with some decent 32nm xeon (forgot which model)

It has 6 ram slots, assumably 2 sets (triple channel). It came with 6gb (3 slots, 2gb each) kingston ECC memory. I went to upgrade it with hynix ECC memory, still DDR3, on the SAME frequency, and it doesn't work. I tested the ram in my friend's t5500 and it works just fine. When I put in ONLY the new memory, I get the same beep code as if there is no memory installed at all, doesn't post (obviously). According to dell, it's something along the lines of a failure on the first 64k. When I leave in the original 3, and add 3 more in the other slots, it gives me the same thing. When I subtract one from the new slots, leaving one free slot (3 old, 2 new), it boots, but all but 2GB of the ram is hardware reserved.

I am very confused now.

Is there a /g/-approved list of vacuum cleaners? If not, should I just get an entry level Dyson?

I recently installed a Nvidia graphics card my brother gave me on my computer. No matter which distro and which installation process I take to install the proprietary driver for the graphics card, it'll always end up with the same result - black screen with some flickering. The graphics work normal with Nouveau so I'm guessing none of the drivers work for my card. Should I sell this graphics card or is this graphics driver problem temporary?

Ok, fix your bootloops problem since you claimed it would be easy to do >>56403211
then log yourself in on your phone if you haven't specifically had to change your google login on their servers recently. Then quit messing with system functions you shouldn't be. Mild overheating is normal and I wouldn't return the phone over it, and I definitely wouldn't return the phone for overheating while it's doing bootloops. That's just asking for trouble.

I live in a house where the landlord owns the router and I don't want them knowing what sites I visit.

Specifically, the router he owns has a IP request log which shows all device IPs and incoming and outgoing connections.

Will a VPN disguise which sites I visit? If so, what's a good VPN that isn't banned on a fuck ton of sites?

I'm interested on network security and I think I want to become a h4x0r. Where should I begin? Any good books, blogs, w/e material?

Your ip and connection status are hardly private data anyways

what are the sata cables that connect to the motherboard called?
I called a store and they said they had a molex to twin and molex to single cable
I have enough cables to hook up from my psu (3), but my mobo only came with 2 sata cables

>>56410334
> Mild overheating is normal and I wouldn't return the phone over it
That's the thing, it wasn't doing any overheating at all before the first factory reset, I had absolutely no problems with it.

It was a dream to use, but then after the first reset and once I put in some Jewgle shit, it overheated just because the screen was on, and would throttle me on some apps.

If it persists, I'm probably going to return it.

> I definitely wouldn't return the phone for overheating while it's doing bootloops. That's just asking for trouble.

He can't, he can see my local IP and incoming and outgoing connections to it.

There's a difference between something not being absolutely private and something being completely public. I'm not visiting anything illegal and I don't give a shit if the ISP knows where I'm going. I just don't want someone I am unfortunately living with to know each and every site I am visiting.

VPN's will do what you're talking about, assuming he doesn't have a way to block them. Anything using openvpn is hard to block. Website's make lists of known vpn IPs, so the best you could do is pick an IP in your own country, and maybe one that isn't well known. It's still gonna flag you when you try to log in to things because it will look like you just traveled hundreds of miles away. Now if you've got a friend nearby with a good internet connection you could host your own vpn from their place and have your network traffic come out there.

They're just normal threads that people keep reposting. People expect them to be there so they search for them by name in the catalog if they don't happen to be on the first page. Since they get a lot of posts they rarely crap out until they hit bump limit and descend to page 11.

better as in "better alternative for the same price or even cheaper" not "better but that will be an extra 50 dollars"
