/sqt/ - Stupid Question Thread

Am I the first to ask a question?

Tesla is named after the Nikola Tesla's induction motor.
Edison did not steal this idea. So I think not.

If I only want to niggerproof my steam account on a laptop, is transparent TPM BitLocker FDE good enough?

What are you even trying to achieve here? Who is going to steal your laptop and break your password, just to get into your steam account?

>>56421136
>Who is going to steal your laptop
Niggers, figuratively. Othere than steam account there might be some other sensitive info at some point, like customers info dumps, but nothing really illegal so NSA can have all the data there whenever they want.

>>56421180
Bitlocker would be fine then. It's secure enough for your needs. Just keep in mind the potential pitfalls of full disk encryption, like the potential to never be able to recover your data.

How do I set charging thresholds in Android?
My tablet has been just lying on my desk connected to a charger for last two months. I did disconnect it every so often so it wouldn't be at 100% battery all the time, but it still got rekt pretty hard and now battery dies at 40% so I'll need a new one and I want to set it up properly this time.

>>56421211
Rule 1) Always have backups.
Rule 2) Never "move" files to portable media, copy, copy to new destination, verify, delete from source.
I treat my laptop, phone etc same as portable media.

>>56421217
So I just use the AMT Emulator for the legit copy, right?

I reinstalled nvidia drivers with apt-get remove --purge nvidia-* and apt-get install nvidia-driver since for some reason it wasn't automatically built for 4.7.0-1-amd64 when I upgraded my kernel.

Any ideas?

Also everything you said was kind of sound until the oven gimmick, Im just going to assume you mean to do it at a poorman's attempt at reflow, but I'm not so desperate yet to where I'll stick it in the oven, I'd sooner invest in a proper station.

More than Something else on your internal network is in conflict with your current address. Ie someone statically setting their ip to match yours, or your lease should have expired, but didnt and there is a double lease of the same address.
Go into your 'router' UI and look for all devices on the network. Are you using ICS or any bridging? Worse case your traffic won't route to you correctly be it malicious or benign

Discovered the other day a fist-sized "pothole" on my kitchen floor tile that was hidden under a rug for who knows how long. Other people live here so it's possible someone could have had some kind of accident and decided to just hide it, but my question is, how the hell could this even happen? It is a very large hole, did they drop a safe or something? Or do tiles sometimes just erode on their own?

just make like you are studying for the CompTIA A+ exam. I mean actually reading the books and such, not taking that garbage of an exam. A library would likely have prior book versions of the exam material, if the book isn't sealed just sit and read it at your local book store. If you are a student check if your school has safari tech books access. Part one is book knowledge, part two is the "pratical" exam. Don't actually take the cert, unless you already have a position somewhere. There should be some infographs of compiled hardware types floating around somewhere made by some tripfag.

As >>56424314 said, if all you care about is 'current tech' go dabble your time on reviewer websites, get a sub to PC Power user, or whatever. If you like looking at diagrams and theory all day EE is your "ground up", but you are better off just taking what you know and applying it into A+ material, if you get all eccentric about it after that go look into basic ad/dc fundamentals.

Is it worth it getting a 4k TV or are they just a meme? Would it be worth getting one on Black Friday

Meme. Basically nothing is 4k and there's not any visible difference at a proper viewing distance anyway.

4k is basically TV makers bawwwing that not as many people are buying their overpriced shit as when HDTVs became a thing and everyone was buying it. Now they want to duplicate that forced "success" again with another upgrade, this time an incremental pseudo-upgrade that doesn't even fucking matter. Just get a good quality normal HDTV.

I got a stupid question.

When I render out of this software, it takes 99% of my gpu performance, but it doesn't really need to.

Can I somehow limit how much performance I give it? GPU wise.

Because I'm tired of the rest of my programs stuttering because of it.

>>56426273
Try giving it the lowest process priority. If the CPU runs slow enough, it can't keep up with the GPU. Besides that, I don't think GPU task scheduling is something you have access to.

I'm about to wipe this PC and reinstall Windows 7.

The thing is, I've always had a disc that came with the system or something like that, and a product key. Product key is scratched off from years of use, and this model did not come with a CD.

I've reformatted PC's before, been awhile though, but I always forget about the drivers, so I need to play driver hunt with older pcs that aren't officially supported (im poor).

Found the product key in "system" before I posted. Any tips for the driver issue? Regarding the OS itself can I just burn any old iso or create a bootable USB to begin the 7 installation?

This thing is infected bad, thats why I'm going full hard drive nuke and not attempting any kind of repair/restore.

Quickest way to copy files between a laptop and a pc, have physical access to both

I have
>1 existing 1TB drive with Windows 7 on it
>3 empty 1TB drives
and

I'm wanting to wipe and create a raid array with the 4 HDDs and install Windows on the SSD.
There are files on the existing drive I want to move onto the RAID.
I'm thinking move them onto the SSD, create the RAID and move the files from the SSD to the RAID before installing windows onto it.

My current idea is to move the files with the Windows disk command prompt or maybe even a LiveCD?

What is the least stupid way to do this?

Win7 has a built in software RAID set up function in the disk management section of device management.

Install Win7 on your SSD and copy everything you want from the TB drive to it. Wipe the HDD and set up RAID from the OS in the SSD.

You will know it works when all 4 drives appear as one or two in your hard drive list on My Computer

>>56428405
I forgot to say I want to use RAID5 (which WIN7 doesn't support - or has disabled support for for licensing reasons...).

If having 2 Win7 installations at the same time is not a bad idea I could:

>Wipe old Windows and create RAID
>move files from SSD to RAID

>>56428496
Win7 does not support RAID5 unless you have Windows Server edition

http://superuser.com/questions/7683/which-software-raid-modes-does-each-version-of-windows-7-support

To the second part, yes that's exactly what I'm telling you to do. IIRC windows will just ask you at the boot screen which OS you want so make sure you name them like Windows 7 SSD and HDD or something to set them apart.

>>56428708

>>56424032
Jack is probably faulty, assuming you have your output settings configured properly.

>>56424032
>>56428772
Oh, if you're talking about a case front-panel jack or something similar it usually has something that must attach to the motherboard, so be sure it is attached properly if that's the case.

>>56428152
I guess that depends on the use-case. I trust DVD-Rs and CD-Rs for long term storage more than I do USB drives (also redundancy is always nice in the event of a physical catastrophe)
>>56428252
I have a DD-WRT router (Linksys WRT54G) dedicated to connecting my laptop and my desktop and everything worked perfectly.

No, the only compression that messes up files is lossy compression (only found in audio formats like MP3). XZ is lossless, so it doesn't compress as much. However, it works amazingly if you have enough computing power.

>>56429223
It will if v-sync doesn't require your gpu usage to be at 99% and is lower than that. If you have v sync enabled and had performanced dipped, depending on the game, it will be capped to a rounded framerate such as 60,45,30,15, ect.

>>56429459
Cleaning the dust is a definite must. Sounds like the fan is clogged. A SSD wouldn't help, CS shouldn't be that resource intensive.

google drivers for your motherboard model

You should be able to find most of the required drivers

Pro-tip: Always keep a back up of your drivers in a folder somewhere
