Why does this print "1, 2" when it should print "2, 1"?

sub swap {
    ($_[0], $_[1] = $_[1], $_[0]);
}

my $one = 1;
my $two = 2;
swap($one, $two);
print "$one, $two\n";

Does a laptop that is
1. cheap
2. light
3. not a chromebook
exist?

pacaur doesn't download the latest version of packages and then it doesn't pass the checksum test. So I have to remove the build files from the cache to update a aur program. Any way to fix that problem?

Something for $200-$450
My younger sister is starting college and she wanted me to find her a laptop within this range.
I suggested a thinkpad but she said she didn't really like what they look like, but at least she doesn't want a macbook.
From the research I did I found that anything that is cheap and light is also a chromebook, and if you want an actual laptop that's light (less than or about 4 lbs) they're upwards of $700.

Using tor via tails from a usb on a laptop with no hdd in a public WiFi network to do bitcoin stuff

Roughly following this guide:

My Intel 535 480gb SSD is acting..weird.

Sometimes the speed dips to something around 2mb/s on READ, worse on write. Every diagnostic and SMART tool I've used says it's 100% fine anyway. The "problem" is if I restart the computer everything goes back to normal speeds so I can't just return it and expect them to get the same problem. I can write new data and such on it.

Any suggestions ?

>>56616501
Yeah, I would need at least 2 usb slots in a laptop (preferably 3-4), and at like I mentioned before a minimum of 120gb.
The purpose of this laptop is purely for school, so all that it's going to be used for is word processing and facebook browsing.
Battery life is generally pretty good on chromebooks from what I've seen, but the storage space is an issue.

Setting up a new PC on a flatscreen tv monitor (720p). Have played with display settings and scaling but text still comes out very pixelated, and the image quality is not great. Is there a set up I can use to fix this? I'm using an HDMI connection.

>>56616663
if it's windows have you tried setting up cleartype?
Should be somewhere in the display options.

>>56615428
Could look into some tablets with the Intel Atom processors. Sister might like the whole touchscreen aspect.
They're not the most powerful devices but have good battery and will work decently for light usage like Word and general browsing. They run full Windows, I used to have an Asus T100 and it was decent, but really it depends on how much you're looking to push it.

If you get something with an i5 it's going to be much more powerful of course but will probably push you in price. If you're looking for light laptops, you're looking at Intel's U line of Processors

>>56616697
Ok, that definitely helped but it's not great, text and such is still fairly rough. Windows 10 detects the native resolution as 1920x1080 but that overstretches the screen and I have to use GPU scaling to compensate.

Anything else I can try

Replace it

Hey /g/. I don't have a question I just need to vent and this is pretty much the only place I can do it. I ordered a laptop a few days ago, just got it today about an hour ago. The listing clearly said it came with an ac adapter, of course, lo and behold I open the box and it's not fucking there. I'm just so tired, drained and exhausted. My life has been a litany of shit that won't quit going wrong. Today was supposed to be a good day.

>>56617040
That hard drive is dying man, don't even need to watch the video.
Back your shit up or do a restore point, get a new HDD.

If it was FDA/Amazon, full refund plus free shipping of a replacement.

Did you guys listen to the audio clip? It's not constant, and it's rather different from the clicks I find on YouTube about dying drives...

My mistake. I believe a grasshopper got lodged inside and is responsible for the strange noises.

>>56617127
Why wouldn't you be able to replace it? Hard drives are cheap as fuck.

Which heatsink is quieter, the Cryorig H7 or M9i?

The H7's specs seem to be better overall, but I've seen some review benchmarks with a quieter M9i.

>>56617106

Guys help how do I fix this?
Not even sure if this will render correctly thanks to it being a screenshot but Windows refuses to render text legibly. I've already set the display settings to my flatscreen tv's maximum native resolution.
Trying to set it to 720p just scales everything way the fuck down.

>>56617239
Just checked on my phone, of course it renders fine as a screenshot. Excuse me for being retarded

>>56617239
Set resolution to 720 and already the zoom/size of text.

>>56617239
>>56617256

Seems like pass by value vs pass by reference issue to me. Never used perl though so I have no idea.

>>56616771
Looks like a logic gate in DIN syntax. Probably S is high when exactly 2 of the inputs are high? No idea what the triangle means, though, possibly a negation.

>>56617268
Changing it to 1280x720 doesn't fix the disgusting amount of aliasing, and prevents me from altering text size. Will try the GPU HDMI scaling.
And for future reference, I have updated both GPU (Sapphire Nitro 480) and Mobo drivers.

I'm planning to start self learning Python. Can I teach myself how to program well just using online resources and books, and is there any kind of cert I can get from this to put on my resume?
Of course I could always just write 'basic Python skills' but I think a cert would look nicer.

>>56617299
I know that much. I'm just wondering how to express it in algebra.

I just did it with a truth table(karnaugh without the table) but I need verification.

>>56617330
Okay, so at 1280x720 with GPU's fancy scaling options turned off and the HDMI scaled way up, everything looks better but it's still fairly grany. This may be because of it being a flatscreen TV and not a true monitor, or maybe because I'm using HDMI instead of VGA right?

Ironically, everything looked a lot smoother before I updated the HDMI drivers of my GPU.

>>56617226
>>56617279
Is there any chance it's the optical drive making this noise? I pressed the button to get the "reader" out of the laptop (as in, in the position to insert a DVD), but the clicking continued, so would that rule it out?

>>56617330
Do you have the correct pixel format set? For some reason AMD uses a really weird setting as default over HDMI instead of full RGB range. It makes everything blurry, especially anything red.

>>56617393
Speccy has SMART statistics if you check the hard drive section

>>56617407
how can I alter that setting?

>>56617393
Optical drive doesnt do anything if it has nothing to read. Remove any disk insterted to it and it should stay idle after confirming there's nothing inside.

I've tried "robocopy /mir" already. It'd be perfect otherwise, but since android registers as media device rather than usb storage it doesn't get assigned to any drive letter and thus I cant select it in command prompt.

Founders edition isn't that much cheaper than the cheapest custom ones, but the difference to the cheapest ones by a reputable manufacturer starts to be significant. I can swing it, but I'd rather save the money and put it elsewhere, the price gouging on 1070's is already hard to swallow as it is.

Don't do SLI. It's a raging meme now.

Where would one go to acquire a copy of windows 7 these days? I got a desktop from a friend without an HDD, and thusly, no OS. I have Mint on it right now but I want to dual boot windows for various audio recording/mixing purposes, and I'd rather not have win10 as I have it on another computer and I'm not too fond of it. Tried TPB, nothing came up but I could just be a moron. Thanks in advance.

>>56619651
Answered my own question, sorry

>>56619547
does this means coreboot > libreboot. Like coreboot CAN do propriety but wont do unless you want it but libreboot wont do it never ever?

>>56619651

>>56619691
Ultimately it doesn't matter because you can count the number of computers that support libreboot on one hand. You'd need a FOSS wlan card etc

I won't have cash to buy a new high tier GPU for a long time but I figure I could go for a performance boost from a second 1070 once they drop down in price easily enough, so it won't hurt to plan ahead.

If I really stretched my budget I could buy a 1080 now, but I have no use for one right away and I feel like they are even MORE overpriced than 1070.

There is no hindrance in software in using libreboot. You just need to go an extra 10 miles to have everything work.

Looking for a recommendation on a new printer.

Now I need to suggest an alternative to her.

It needs to;
Scan/copy/print
be wifi
be inkjet (she needs color printing occasionally so that puts color laser out of her budget)

I've only had bad experiences with HP inkjet printers so I would rather stay away from that brand.

>>56620545
You should be able to connect it like any other hard drive and copy files from it.

>>56620545
Just plug it in and don't boot off of it. Unless you encrypted it you should be able to poke around like it was a flash drive.

>>56620715
If you think it was in raid, then probably not. You could try taking the drives out and reading them, perhaps rebuilding the raid configuration but I don't know much about raid so I don't know if it would work.

Lesson their is get a 2tb drive instead of a 2x1tb drive

i'm killing myself on cam if I don't get an answer here

>>56620637
A processor "does" pretty much everything. In a computer, it is the thing that computes. The only thing it's not good at is rendering complex video output on the fly. Hence gpu. Motherboard's tell you what they're compatable with. a shitty mobo with a good cpu is usually better than the other way around.

>>56620758
If you plan to upgrade in the future, you'll want to spend more on the board so you have more options down the road as far as processors go. If you're looking for one that's good enough right now then focus on the processor.

I'm fucking retarded so stick with me for a sec

Sony banned my IP because they false charged me $10 and i disputed it with paypal and got a charge back after contacting Sony and Paypal. Now my IP cant access anything on Sony's servers, which i wouldnt care but my roommate uses his ps4 all the time and because my account was on that ps4 the IP got banned. Contacted Sony support with this and they said i have to contact my ISP(Time Warner) to change my IP but I don't know the account info because it's under my roommate's parents stuff and they are super anal about this kinda stuff. Anyway I can just change this? I assume my computers IP is different from the router which is why I'm not sure what to do, Paypal support is being a bitch and i cant contact them to see if it would be possible to revert the charge back which seems like a cluster fuck in itself.
Basically how do i unfuck sony's bullshit they pulled

>>56621216
About all you can do is keep trying to get through to the ISP or sony. You're right that your your computer IP has nothing to do with the one the world sees, but sometimes turning off the modem for an hour or two will cause it to pick up a new IP on it's own. Otherwise the IP could change at any point, or maybe not at all.

>>56621249
Yes, definitely.

For anyone with experience in VoIP:
tl;dr: what firewall configuration would allow a response to a SIP request to multiple devices simultaneously?

I'm having an issue setting up ip phones at my office. Currently, we use a local response point that is hooked up to an edgemarc unit that then goes out to the internet. Our new phones will be registering through SIP to an external PBX, and the devices are all going out through our firewall. Our firewall is a virtual windows server that runs Forefront Threat Management Gateway.
I spent a day troubleshooting registration issues with the phones and found out TMG was never configured for VoIP. I ran the configuration wizard and they registered at the end of the day yesterday.
Today was switch over day and during the testing I was able to receive a call on my direct extension. The big issue is that I was unable to answer the call when 2 of the phones rang simultaneously. The phone service provider can have a group ring at one time to allow anyone that's avaliable to pick up. Being that I had to make a change to the firewall initially, I believe the issue is still with that but could not find anything online. The techs at the phone service company wanted to just bypass the firewall, but my boss is insane and will not accept that resolution. To him: "It should just work." thanks for reading. Any thoughts?

If you look closely in the screenshot you can see that my web browser window has like 90% opacity. I've checked through WinAero tweaker and cannot find a transparency setting.

All windows that get rendered have transparency, which interferes with some media (if you're in a dark area in a video game for instance)

If I download or write a file to my /tmp directory, encrypt it and move that file somewhere else will the original file be able to be recovered after reboot? The /tmp directory supposed to be stored in ram right so it shouldn't?

>>56623487
Shit, I see it, the mountain is peeking through as white patches on 4chan background.
I have no fucking idea what you did, but I want it.

does any company make a large (~50*50cm) rigid aluminium or plastic mousepad?

How does one make a PKGBUILD for a mercurial repo?
Trying to pull in firefox-nightly, but build it locally, and not use the bin.

doing it locally is fine, but i cant figure out how to automate it

>>56623515
>The /tmp directory supposed to be stored in ram
Is your /tmp directory tmpfs? If so, then it wouldn't be recoverable. If not, then there's no reason it wouldn't be.

>>56623515
Use /var if you want it to exist after reboot

What is a good browser to go with to escape google?

>>56623690
Using Fedora 24, googled it and it defaults to tmpfs, and df -h shows me it is. Thanks.

How come airships aren't popular anymore? I always thought the idea of floating through the sky like that was cool.

My computer can run most games at high to max settings pretty smoothly, but I'm getting terrible lag in Starbound and an abysmal frame rate.

I made the mistake of getting AMD for my graphics card.

Are there any settings in the crimson bullshit I can fondle to get better performance?

I have already:
>Played zoomed
>Messed with screen settings
>Abandoned quests
>Disabled vsync in .config

And I don't have the money currently to buy a better PC.

Please help.

What does this mean? I've been trying to decide all week about which laptop I shoukd get.

How does that happen? I haven't been to my middle's school website since I was in Middle School. I'm so fucking confused.

>>56623910
Are you on the same computer as when you were in middle school? If yes, probably some weird thing with Windows' registry.
If no, your computer is haunted. Seek an exorcist immediately.

What's the best Windows media player, /g/?
I've been using VLC for Livestreamer but it has really high CPU usage.

>>56624220
mpv or mpc+hc

>>56624220
mpv is technically the correct answer, but it's a bit unfriendly to the user, so go with a derivative like Baka MPlayer or bomi.

>>56624265
>unfriendly

How is this hard?

>>56623897
Starbound doesn't really have graphics options.

>>56624297
Sure, if you don't want to have any advanced features. If you do, you need to get into using custom scripts.
It's just not worth it for the average anon.

is there anything like a raspberry pi except with usb 3/usb c?

>>56624326

Such as?
All the scripts on the master github are optional and not needed for anything

mpv is shit and it's on par with an early alpha release. It is by no means a finished product and if you genuinely think it's user friendly you're hopelessly retarded.

>>56624342
>not needed for anything
Alright, show me where base mpv have mouse gesture support. Or rebindable keyboard shortcuts (chosen from within the media player itself, rather than editing a config file).
Or literally any quality of life improvements.

>>56624220
Ace Player has lower CPU usage than VLC and is optimized for streaming.

>>56624053
No. I built this computer in 2013, and, have since upgraded it specs wise every 1, to 2 years. I even changed the harddrive. I'm legitimately confused.

>>56624415
You are why I recommend that people don't use mpv. The community surrounding it is filled with turbo-autistis like yourself.
At least the MPC-HC group is willing to admit that their media player has flaws.

>>56624415

You clearly have poor reading comprehension, since I wasn't talking about a GUI, but GUI support for the settings.

>compile it yourself because there are no official builds

This is what you call user friendly? Yeah I'm sure 100% of the people who use computers can do this with no problem, that's why open source is so popular IRL right? Oh wait... it isn't. You are a retard and you should work on your reading comprehension.

I stand by what I said, mpv is on the level of an early alpha product, considering it a user friendly product is lying blatantly.

>>56624415
Just tried out mpv and I don't like how right clicking pauses and scrolling causes it to rewind/fast forward.
I also happen to have a bad habit of randomly right clicking the screen.
>>56624396
I actually already had that installed, surprised I didn't think of it. It's working pretty well so far.

>>56624470
Ah you're a wincuck, explains it all now
You download an archive which you then unpack you then run an exe/msi and go through a long installation setup, most likely filled with malware packaging
Is this what you call user friendly?
I open 1 file
I type in one line
I save it
I am done
I run it
It plays my media
I dont have to press 20 buttons mindlessly, causing harm to my system since you're just spamming it to get over with it anyway

>open source
The largest server software,that runs 80% of the worlds servers, is open source
So yes, it is quite popular friend. :^)

>>56624415

>thinking the system should inform the user when the are incompetent

Yes, actually that's one of the four main goals of OSes. Since most errors are caused by the user's mistakes or negligence, you can get rid of most errors by letting the user know about the existence and cause of the error. This is a very basic concept, and if you don't know it/understand it, it's because you're tech illiterate.

How can I get GLFW to work without using GLAD?
I refuse to taint beautiful C code with Python trash.
Not that I could with ease anyway, because there's no instructions for how to get it working without installing an installer.

>>56624415
Open source means being able to alter any detail of the program as necessary, for the 1% of people that need to.
It is not supposed to mean 100% of people using the program should have to understand how it functions on a lower level to be able to use it normally.

>>56624533
>four goals
[citation needed]
"goals" is broad spectrum and changes related to conversation at hand

I do not need my os to handhold me on setting it up.I dont need it bloating my system with all possible situations that could arise in the future. I am in control of it, not some magic wizard at HQ

I just need to confirm or deny this for my sanity.

In C++ when you have a function, does it "have" to be before main to work? I've been messing with it for the past hour, and the program only seems to work is if my function is before main.

In Java, I don't remember this being the case. But I know all programs do something differently. Am I just doing something wrong or is this just how C++ is?

>>56624527

It's just pathetic that you're trying to win some sort of argument in which you're obviously emotionally invested by attacking the character of the other guy (especially when you know nothing about him). I let you know two things, first that I have been using POSIX-compliant systems since before you (and I know this because of the following); second, that you are a new Linux user, because you're using it wrong. You should never install stuff via make install, as it doesn't record the changes in your package manager, and that will only cause trouble in the future when you have to uninstall/purge the package. There is an intelligent way to build from source and installing it safely, but I know that you're not doing it because of your very basic description of how you install things, however I'm not telling you because you should bother to read the manual yourself. You should talk less and study more, because your ignorance shows, and I doubt you're purposefully trying to be a militant idiot.

Ignore him. Use Baka MPlayer, it's an objectively better experience.

If you're going into meme tech related to video playback, you should use MPC-HC with madVR. This is the superior Windows option and it makes Linux users mad because they can't have it, but it's actually the best thing out there. If you're on Windows go for that.
