My pictures are auto tagged by category. How do i rid my of this spyware shit? Or are the native applications on verizon androids not good?

Ill go to >>>/g/spg if this isnt dumb enough

>>56459089
Any IGPU.

GT 740.

>>56459089
Radeon HD 6450. If you want, I can sell it for $20 in BTC on OpenBazaar (assuming you live in murica)

What exactly do you think google is? You want any semblance of privacy it's CM or bust

>>56459312
There is one: the R7 240

>>56459365
I meant like how do i rid myself of bad applications or is android worse at privacy than apple. Fuck me. I love the phone but hate the data sharing

>>56459269
Why do you have 9 TVs? Are you on Wallmart or something?

>>56459384
You're right, the R7 240 and GT 730 are on the same level or more powerful than themselves.

>>56459117
What phone?

>>56458925
>Rust, C#.

Thanks, but I want to stay with C++ for now because I both need to learn it and need its speed.

What would be my best choice specifically for it?

>>56459389
It's hard to rate something as "worse". Google is Mr. big data, but apple's a special kind of crazy. Like I said, you want privacy, use an alternative rom like cyanogen, something that runs mostly open source and lets you trim down things you don't like. And minimize your use of google services.

Can you legally let your self-driving car self-drive you home if you are plastered?

>>56459618
Thabks a ton. Mate all fixed

>>56459725
No

>>56459725
Current self-driving cars still require the driver to maintain control of the vehicle and usually you're supposed to keep your hands on the wheel etc, so drinking would be a no-no. Our DUI laws haven't exactly been amended to account for them either. Give it another 5-10 years and they'll probably make some kind of exception as long as you lock it to autonomous mode, maybe even set a "drunk button" so you can't drift off and swerve the wheel or something.

>>56459765
Current law in many places doesn't even allow you to sleep in your car when drunk, don't expect things to change that quickly.

>>56459801
Yeah, I guess that's true, but then again self-driving car manufacturers could push it through as a marketing thing, like "look how many lives we can save from drunk drivers"

I keep getting different replies. So.

If I get a constant 144+ fps in L4D2, and I enable vsync to stop it from going to 300. Will this cause input lag?

If not, is it only because of the frames never fluctuate below 144?

Whats the best music player for android? Foobar? Ive asked this before but never got a response.

Have you tried black player?

So, about a month ago i bought a cpu and motherboard off craigslist and used them to build a pc the cpu was an i7 2600k and the motherboard was an asus p8/p67 pro for $180 and my pc crashes maybe twice a day and when i gaym certain games like counterstrike crash all the time could the cpu/motherboard be bad and causing this or could it be that my hard drive is dying (its a good 5 years old) thoughts on this? a clean reinstall of windows did nothing.

>>56460129
Poweramp hands down. Blackplayer is ok too.

I'm building a computer and I want to stream vidya (cancer I know sorry). Anyway I am getting 1070 and I'm thinking which CPU I should get. Currently its between 6600k and 6700k. While obviouy 6700k is better my question is. How much better? Is it going to make a significant impact on performance when streaming from the same PC or will it be about the same?

Is there a way to shuffle by folder/album in AIMP? It's driving me nuts coming from foobar where it worked out of the box. Prefer listening to full albums, but I don't want them to always play in the same order.

Bump from previous thread

OK, so I’ve got a Pokémon SQLite database, data structured as so:

Table: Pokemon

id | name
------------------
1  | Bulbasaur
2  | Ivysaur
3  | Venusaur
4  | Charmander
...

Table: PokemonType

id | PkmnID | TypeID | Slot
----------------------------
1  | 1      | 5      | 1
2  | 1      | 8      | 2
3  | 2      | 5      | 1
4  | 2      | 8      | 2
5  | 3      | 5      | 1
6  | 3      | 8      | 2
7  | 4      | 2      | 1
...

and finally, Type

id   | name
------------------
1    | Normal
2    | Fire
...
5    | Grass
...
8    | Poison
...

How do I join these tables to get this:

PkmnID    | PkmnName   | Type1 | Type2
----------------------------------------
1        | Bulbasaur   | Grass | Poison
2        | Ivysaur     | Grass | Poison
3        | Venusaur    | Grass | Poison
4        | Charmander  | Fire  | -

The closest I’ve got is

select PkmnID, PkmnName, typename as Type1
from pokemon
join pokemontype on pokemon.id = pokemontype.pkmnid
join type on pokemontype.typeid = type.id
where pokemontype.slot = 1

which gives me

| PkmnID |   PkmnName | Type1 |
|--------|------------|-------|
|      1 |  Bulbasaur | Grass |
|      2 |    Ivysaur | Grass |
|      3 |   Venusaur | Grass |
|      4 | Charmander |  Fire |

my professor didnt really explain it, but if I wanted to require a range of an ID when I am creating a column in a table in SQL, what is the syntax for the constraint?

Would it just be

anyone have any experience with it?

Whenever I try to connect to a VPN while connected to my schools wifi it immediately disconnects. Why does it do this and how can I bypass this? (iPhone 6s, Opera VPN and TunnelBear)

>>56460746
That looks good ONLY if you can install DD-WRT on it. If you can't, then find a router that can.

DD-WRT can overclock your router and increase the transmitting power beyond FCC regulations. It also has better support, better QoS, more features, and better performance than most firmwares.

Are thermal pads the best way to connect a heatsink and a device that are a couple of mm away? Is there anything better that I can whip up at home that does the same thing?

>>56460943
>DD-WRT

I've seen this a lot on here concerning routers. I don't consider myself a poweruser at all, is this retard-proof?

>>56460529
Remove the Pokémon thing and then the neckberds may help you

>>56460983
Installing it can take some knowledge (just general not-fucking-up skills, that's all). After that, you wouldn't need any more knowledge than what you need to set it up without DD-WRT.

FYI: Don't set the transmitting power to 251mW (the max the software will go), that's how literal house fires start.

how come some things on amazon are way more money than the price at the store?

>>56460983
No, but it's not impossible either. If you look up the basics and never touch anything you don't need you should be fine. As far as installing it goes, half the battle is finding the right router and guide.

>>56461040
Because the sellers realize they can charge more and still make enough sales to be worth it.

>>56460746
Sadly, none of the AC series of TP-Link routers are supported (yet). I don't even know if DD-WRT has support for AC (yet).

Any vpn that doesn't run over Openvpn is pretty easy to block.

I just installed GNU/Linux and i am currently using a shit laptop to run it. During the installation I installed GRUB to the MBR now i cant run Windows 10. GRUB did not detect Windows 10. Booting to "Lenovo recovery center" and selecting Windows boot manager brought me to a diagnostic screen. In the diagnostic screen i selected "boot to windows 10" and it just rebooted back to GRUB. can someone help me add Windows 10 to GRUB? I am a little tired and don't feel like using Google.
Thanks in advance.

Trying to install Discord (on Windows 7) and the computer locks up completely, no errors, no blue screen, no nothing. The mouse just stops moving and I am forced to hard reboot. Manually extracted the program from their shitty installer and ran the program's exe directly. Same thing happened. It flashes the little loading windows with the witty text "Installing more pylons" and then as soon as the main program window (or what I assume to be the main program window) loads, the computer immediately locks up, before it can even render anything in the window. Any ideas? Aside from reformatting.

What is OpenVPN and is there something you can link me to to help me set it up and understand it

Whenever I try to do a command with docker, the only output is "Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?"

I'm running Docker 1.12.1 on Raspbian Jessie following these (https://github.com/docker/docker/releases) instructions:

>deb/rpm install: curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh

This is a freshly installed Raspbian Jessie image.

Thanks!

Give your money to a real school that won't rip you off and ruin your life.

>>56460685

>>56461114
Openvpn is a VPN protocol. Its the actual software system that connects and protects two linked networks or computers. PPTP and L2TP are the more common alternatives, and they're much more easily blocked. Some companies use only one type of VPN, others give you a choice. Openvpn is generally best. Never use PPTP.

Use MightyText to send sms from a browser.

I want no images in my browser to load by default. I want to be able to right click where the unloaded image is and click load image, and I want that single image to load.
Can Firefox do this?
permissions.default.image set to 2 does not allow this.
All the image blocking/whatever addons seem to only toggle permissions.default.image from 1 to 2 and do nothing else.

I bought a laptop that "was fucked" for $40. Its not bad machine by any means, i3, 8gb ram etc.

Long story short, it has just a bad hard drive. Replaced it with a backup I had, installed Windows 7 (legally even), and now I can't get this damn thing to install any other updates. Whether using Windows update or from the site itself.

I understand Windows 7 update hangs are a common problem on fresh installs, but I can't seem to find a fix that works for me.

I have two dualshock 4 controllers. I have inputmapper installed on a brand new Skyake that is using a Windows 10 OS.
>I'm dual booting linux, using windows 10 for direct x only. pls don't derail.

If I try to pair either of my controllers when inputmapper is running, only one controller will pair. The other controller will not pair. It doesn't matter which controller I use, this is true for both controllers if I switch the order I pair them. No matter which controller I pair first, the other controller will not pair. If I close Inputmapper, I can pair both controllers, but then when I open inputmapper, neither controller will connect. They remain in a paired state.

What do?

I'm not really familiar with installing windows so how would i go about triple booting 10, arch, and 7 without destroying my current partitions

>>56461530
Yeah, that's a tough combo, the iphone with a PC. I'd double down on hangouts, figure out why it's not working for you. If you're using chrome it should be pretty much automatic. Otherwise it's just a matter of digging through apps and hoping apple allowed something that will do the job for you.

>>56461519
The "standard version" is $50 more. The botnet version is $99 for Prime members.

>>56461620
Well it's not that different than setting up a dual boot. You'll need to make space, if you don't have it already you'll need to shrink one of your existing partitions. You can make the partition in advance just to be on the safe side, then just install the new windows to it. When you're done use Grub2Win to restore grub as your bootloader. It also helps to use clonezilla or macrium to make a complete system image before you begin so you have a fallback if something goes wrong.

>>56461559
What are you using?

>>56461559
So? You're editing grub...

very stupid question here: is there going to be a difference in audio quality whether I plug my headphones into my computer, or into the headphone jack on my desktops speakers?

Any recommendations?

>Can Firefox do this?
Unfortunately, no.
The closest you can come to that is this (http://www.ghacks.net/2016/05/16/firefox-control-image-loading/), where it either loads all images or blocks them on load on specific websites that you provide.

people buy things at the store and sell it on amazon for two or three times the price.

So, im new to linux-
On kubuntu, when I try to connect to my colleges wifi, it just brings up the dialogue for configuring a given connection and doesnt accept anything but 'cancel' till I pick some security option. Ones supposed to logon with a username and password, which I know and am getting right, but only one authentication option in that config under the section matching its described encryption type is just a username and password(LEAP?), the others are various other crap I dont know and Im fairly sure isn't how its set up.
Yet, when I fill that in and attempt to connect, it then asks for a password in a new box, then asks for it again a few seconds later, ad infinitum, or just fails.
What do.
if the answer is install debian/arch/whatever, later. what do now?

>>56461978
No, the closest thing would be that Convenience rollup. If you don't mind being stuck with all the updates it includes, you can go for it. Weirdly though it doesn't seem to get Windows Update running much faster. Microsoft keeps messing things up pretty bad, so it's always possible they've up and changed the requirements again. But what you've got already should be enough if you let it run for a few hours.

Can somebody point me in the direction of a good online (or physical book) for learning how to write good CSS (not just learn the language)? I know enough to get by, but I feel like I'm not exactly stellar with it. The majority of the online courses I've found are all intro courses that just cover stuff I already know.

ImgLikeOpera used to do this but it was last updated three years ago and with each new Firefox things stopped working until it failed completely with Firefox 48.
uMatrix can images (from domain, or only 3rd party and such) but you can't block/load specific images - just by host.
Policeman, like uMatrix, has image blocking capabilities but their image handling capabilities surpass uMatrix's.
With it you can right click a blocked image placeholder and click Copy Image Location and you'll get the image URL.
In uMatrix you try the same and you get: data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==
How entirely useless.
Also, it adds a context menu item, when you right click a blocked image you can click Blocked Image -> Load Blocked image, and it will ignore your settings for that exact image and allow you to load it.
Unfortunately Policeman is not updated, buggy, and a huge memory hog.
I never had a problem with images loading when using uMatrix to block them. With Policeman sometimes images will start to load even if you set a block to (images) [any domain] - [any domain] (an example is images on Wikipedia)
My average memory consumption without Policeman was 800mb-1.1gb but using it, memory consumption goes up to 1.2gb - 2.2gb
uBlock Origin can also do this however there is an issue with it.
In its settings you can enable: Block media elements larger than:
and set it to 0 kilobytes.
That way no image will load by default. To specifically load an image you hover over it and click on it.
However, it sends requests to each image to find out how big each image is before deciding whether or not to block it. There is an open issue on Github about this: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/1473 but no one is assigned to it and I don't know if it will be 'fixed'.
All in all there's no great way to do it but there are a few buggy workarounds.

Just install Xubuntu (because I don't know if kubuntu lets you switch window managers on login?), run 'sudo apt install i3', log out, then choose i3 as your window manager on the login screen. Congrats, you're in default (ugly) i3. Run 'man i3' and check it out -- Particularly note the "Files" section which describes what and where the i3 configuration file is. Then check out i3status ('man i3status').

From there check out http://dotshare.it/category/wms/i3/ and try to copy what looks cool. You're going to have no idea what's going on at first but it just takes practice, persistence, and a lot of googling. Good luck /g/entooman.

I did this with a sager laptop I had a couple years ago when the charger broke. Used an older less beefy charger for a couple weeks while I waited for a new one in the mail. As long as the connector fits you don't have much to worry about by using a lower power charger, it'll just run a bit slower if you're doing anything intensive.

What happens if I run a windows 8 image (64 bits) on a 32 bits virtual machine? Cause my laptop doesn't have the 64 bits option (my desktop has them). It is the Oracle virtual box.

Where is the config file of mpv? Allegedly it should be on /home/.config/something/somethingmore but .config can't be a folder wtf. So assuming that .config is a text file, How can it have folders inside it? It's not like it matters anyway, because /home/ doesn't have anything like that. Then I read that the global configuration is at /etc/mpv/.config, but there's only encoding-profiles.conf in there. Where am I supposed to find this mythical config file then?

Of course there will be a huge performance difference between a GPU and integrated graphics, but if you don't wanna spend on a GPU and don't want a shit computer either, you should use an APU instead of a CPU+GPU or a CPU+integrated. It will be cheaper than GPU+CPU too.

Trying to figure out how to make ahk draw circles with the mouse while holding down a key.

I managed to scavenge a similar code through google:

$*Space:: ; press space, then move the mouse, then release space
MouseGetPos, baseX, baseY
Keywait, Space
Speed = 15 ; also effects the accuracy of the circle, be careful
Clockwise := true
SetDefaultMouseSpeed, 0
MouseGetPos, offsetX, offsetY
dx := offsetX - baseX
dy := (-offsetY + baseY) * (!Clockwise*2-1)
offsetR := (dx = 0) ? (0.25+(dy>0)/2) : (ATan(dy/dx)/6.2831853+(dx<0)/2+(dx>0 && dy<0))
SetBatchLines, -1
Loop, % slices := Ceil( (10/speed) * Dist := Sqrt(dx**2 + dy**2) )
    MouseMove, % BaseX + Dist * Cos(6.2831853*(A_Index / slices + offsetR))
    , % baseY - (!Clockwise*2-1) * Dist * Sin(6.2831853*(A_Index / slices + offsetR))
return

Except it's weird in that it wants me to hold space, move mouse, release space in order to draw the circle. How do I change this to continuously draw circles while just holding down a key?

PC turns off randomly, it's a hard turn off as if it were switched off at the wall. Sometimes it restarts by itself, sometimes it boots to windows and works properly and sometimes it boots to windows and gets stuck.

If it gets stuck then I have to turn it off at the wall and wait a few minutes. Sometimes it wont turn on at all and I also have to turn it off for a few minutes. The unexpected switchoff also happens on the BIOS screen.


The windows event log says that it's an error 41 meaning an unexpected system power off - which rules out a software problem. As far as I can tell, MSI motherboards don't have an event log. I've tried for days to find something but to no avail.

The system timer is fine so I don't think it's a CMOS problem. The motherboard is also only 3 months old.

I cleaned the system with canned air and checked for any short circuits. The system was built 3 months ago and has worked flawlessly with no bumps or drops or anything.

The power supply is a 3 month old EVGA platinum with a 10 year warranty. I've never herd of this kind of problem with a high quality component.

Fag with a Maxlel GPU here.
I'm trying to tweak my GPU's BIOS to enable fanless mode while idling. It's not going too well.
I've followed some guides on that there internet, set the appropriate values in the fan profile, flashed my tweaked BIOS (pic related), but my fans are still spinning at ~860 rpm despite reporting "0%" fan speed, also pic related.

Anyone know what's up with that ?
Alternatively, how much could I fuck up by flashing a BIOS from a different model of the same GPU from the same manufacturer ?
Specifically I have an MSI GTX 960 4GD5T OC, which doesn't have this feature out of the box. I've found the BIOS file from an MSI GTX 960 G1 Gaming, which does come with this feature, but I'm unsure whether flashing that might fuck everything up.

Is it possible to actually brick a graphics card with this stuff, as long as I have hardware available to perform the BIOS flashing and keep a backup of a working BIOS ? If something goes wrong, can I just re-flash the working one and be back to normal ?

iirc your windows 10 key should be stored in the bios, so it will activate automatically.

but since you seem to not have done this before, maybe it's better to just uninstall everything manually.

a list of your autostart programs would be useful. running programs will slow down your pc, all else will just take up some disk space and never bother you otherwise.

as i've said before, all of that lenovo stuff is unnecessary.

can someone please help me understand why mpc-hc goes fucking nuclear when I try to skip around on .mkv videos?

I want to fucking skip to certain parts of anime and mpc-hc will just fucking freeze, stop responding, and be completely impossible to end with task manager or command prompt

>>56465268
are you using the latest stable version? consider filing a bug report.

i have no problems with mpchc and mkv files. unless i'm playing files from another pc in the network, then it freezes very often.

try mpc-be or potplayer if all fails.

I have a stupid question...
I finally saved up enough money to buy an expensive msi laptop.
Now the one I wanted with 16GB apparently wasn't in stock so the computer store suggested to get me the 8GB one (all other stats are similar) but with an extra memory slot of 8GB installed.
If they know what they're doing, will I get the same quality?

Eh, it's definitely not an overheating issue. I'm thinking it's probably a power supply issue if anything.

>>56465284
I'm using 1.7.8, which I reinstalled thinking it would work just fine as it used to

along with going nuclear (which I'm about to be), it looks like it's also taken my file icons with it

>>56465294
Yes, but chances are you can do better with your money.
Why do you want an expensive MSI laptop specifically ?

>>56465171
It'll work just fine.
also its easy to get a lic for it.

>>56465305
try a nightly build or the portable version.

Probably not.
But you should use Hyper-V over VirtualBox.

>>56465308
Oh that's good, the opinions between my IT friends are very divided.
I want msi because I especially want it for gaming and my bf has one and is very happy with it.
Also I got the GS series because it's not as lumpy and I like to keep it on my lap in the couch (with a cooler under it ofcourse)

>>56465360
i've never seen this before, driver issue maybe? when did this start appearing?

personally i'd start with sfc /scannow and a windows update. also, disconnect all external storage devices and see if that helps.

>>56465235
I would have done it with subselects rather:

select
    id as pkmnid,
    name,
    (select name from type join pokemontype on typeid = type.id and slot=1 where pkmnid=pokemon.id) as type1,
    (select name from type join pokemontype on typeid = type.id and slot=2 where pkmnid=pokemon.id) as type2
from
    pokemon

Here's data if someone wants to play with it:

with
pokemon(id,name) as(values 
    (1,'Bulbasaur'),
    (2,'Ivysaur'),
    (3,'Venusaur'),
    (4,'Charmander')
),
pokemontype(id,pkmnid,typeid,slot) as(values
    (1,1,5,1),
    (2,1,8,2),
    (3,2,5,1),
    (4,2,8,2),
    (5,3,5,1),
    (6,3,8,2),
    (7,4,2,1)
),
type(id,name) as(values
    (1,'normal'),
    (2,'fire'),
    (5,'grass'),
    (8,'poison')
)

Okay, but do you specifically want your gaming to be mobile ?
If not, you have a lot more to gain by dividing your budget up and going with a desktop computer for gaming and a cheaper laptop.

If I'm getting an HDD for installing Steam games to, is it worth spending the extra money for a 7200 RPM HDD or should I just get a 5400 RPM?

>>56465399
I sure do! I love sitting in the couch with my laptop and we do mini-lan-parties with friends at least once a month.

>>56465435
5400 wouldn't be the end of the world but I'd still recommend 7200.

>>56465390
I only just noticed it then. It couldn't have been more than a day or two.

scanning now

thanks for your help

>>56465435
7200 reduces loading times and in games where textures are constantly being loaded, it can reduce stuttering.

but you really, really should just get an sdd at this point.

>>56465458
did you install anything new or did it appear for no reason?

>>56465458
>>56465477
forgot to mention, if sfc does nothing, a system restore might help

>>56465452

Thanks. I'm getting a 4TB HDD for storing my Steam games, but I might get an M.2 drive later on for my OS whenever I feel like reinstalling it.

Which is more libre: flip phone or Replicant?

Why does disabling the referrer header break so many websites?

I thought it was mostly just for telemetry stuff and not tried to any functions of the websites.

>>56465450
Fair enough then.
Though I still say you'd be much better off with a proper mITX/mATX build to bring to your small LAN parties along with a cheaper and lighter laptop for mobility. Then you could use in-home streaming for your couch gaymen too.

>>56465533
Both require the use of a SIM card, so neither is truly libre.

Basically I fucked up my lock screen.

>>56466171
Alright, fixed it.

You can disable xposed but placing a blank file called "disabled" in a certain directory.

Press whatever key to boot into your recovery manager and it'll have a file explorer that'll let you create that blank file.

When it's disabled you can boot normally, uninstall the module that broke it and delete that "disabled" file and reboot.

>>56460746
I've got one, it worked perfectly fine on a 200Mbit connection with 10+ devices.
Reception is alright, 5ghz band is quite low

I need a password manager.
I just found Master Password (https://ssl.masterpasswordapp.com/algorithm.html) and really liked it's concept but I also need to manage multiple logins.

I have a Radeon HD 4890 1gb for my old rig. Should I crossfire it with a 4870 512mb or a 4850 1gb? I am not willing to spend money to buy a card that outperforms them for a rig that I barely use.

>>56467116
I would convert that rig to an htpc. Your performance for crossfire is going to be so abysmal it's not even worth it. And the 4870 is going to cut your ram in half, so you might actually see WORSE performance in a lot of games

Hey, does the tp-link w1043 have dropbear ssh enabled out of the box, or am i pwned?

>>56467181
Can't really turn it into an htpc. For one I don't even have a TV at home. And it's an atx 775 rig with huge coolers everywhere. Ty for the advice.

>>56466994
lastpass

>>56466775
You probably just think the 5ghz is low because it naturally doesn't reach as far as 2.4

>>56462989
Not entirely true, the greatest bottleneck is your integrated GPU using ~512MB of your ram and pumping some heat. It's not like it ran on CPU cores or anything.

>>56463050
An APU is an integrated GPU with some more advanced features, but it has the earlier RAM-as VRAM bottleneck as well.

That makes sense, the USB is years old at this point and was working fine before spending a couple of months in a draw before being the way it is. Guess it was time to pick up a new one anyway.

I remember studying C with a book that looked visually similar to "Jumping into C++", wich soft colors to highlight key points, tons of exercises and actual hands on examples of every single new concept introduced, but I can't find it anymore.

When I google for books, all I find is either the K&R (Which makes me feel like I'm learning how to computer off a thousand year old papyrus) or copycat books written by nobodies.

What's the other "Famous" C books? I remember choosing it because people told me it was as valid as the K&R, on top of being up to date with C11.
