A question about C :
How can I verify if a letter I put on ( with scanf() ) belongs to a predetermined word?
For example, if I have the word "carpet" and i enter the letter c, the code should "know" that the letter c belongs to the word carpet.

P.D.: Just with the libraries: <stdio.h>, <stdlib.h> and <string.h>

Please and thanks.

Must be a really dumb question but how do I install screenfetch on a Raspberry Pi? I have the original one if that matters.

didn't work. It just says "./screenfetch,dev: No such file or directory

Ruby is probably the easiest but JSON will be the fastest if you're familiar with it

Fairly stupid question.

For several years I haven't used the keyboard like a civilized person. That means no home row, I still manage to remember the keys due to muscle memory and I type fairly fast.

But of course professionally, I need to learn that and fast now. I have a hard time stopping that habit. I found some website, keybr, which seems to have helped me a little bit.

Anyways, since I've seen these threads with mechanical keyboards and basically I've used nothing but those cheap crappy logitech and microsoft wired keyboards for a good while, I decided maybe I could spend some money on that shit.

The thing is, I was wondering, would a mechanical keyboard help even a tiny bit with this task? I know it's a silly question because it could be the same as "would a gaming mouse help me get a better K/D ratio on CS:GO" or some stupid bullshit like that but I must still ask to see if it would be useful or is it just something irrelevant.

What should I buy first?

You will be able to type faster with a mechanical keyboard but the only way to become a better typist is to un-learn all the reflexes you have for typing. If you're in the market for a mechanical keyboard just don't get Cherry MX reds or anything with 'Gaming' in the name.

>un-learn all the reflexes you have for typing

Yeah that sounds kinda hard, not gonna lie. 13 years doing a thing to unlearn it after is getting a bit painful but that's all my goddamn fault. So far I've been trying to type stuff more by forcing myself to do it the normal way but it takes me so long.

Also is there any chance I could find something cheap that's not awful? I barely know anything about mechanical keyboards.

They just moved to my city on mexico, their plans dont look really good against my local carriers, other than the free Moto G4 on the 2 year contract(only on $20+ montly plans) which is kinda a bad deal.

if they have coverage in your area, and they're priced competitively, they are probably comparable. they also don't charge for tethering like some carriers, at least where I am. speeds are speedy enough, and they don't charge you for more data anymore on new plans.

go for ripping it off. won't fuck anything up.

this is gonna be a really stupid question

why wont any major company out there make a competing OS, seeing as macs are for jack-asses, linux is seen as a neckbeard thing and windows started ass fucking everyone?

I have a tv connected to my PC as a second screen and I use it for movies but that's about it. Normally I just change my display settings in the control panel to extend whenever I want to use it, then back to displaying only on my primary screen afterwards

Any ideas on an easy way to speed this up? It's not much really, but it seems nice to just click something or type a quick command or key combination

>>56653252
There is no need too
Linux wins server
windows wins desktop
There is no need for one.
You can see the defragmentation of distros within linux,it would just be another branch off that will go nowhere, because there just isnt a need in the market

>>56653252
It takes 10+ years of constant development when there are already OSes that work perfectly for literally every usecase.
It's just that you don't think you're covered in that, which is why you're asking your question.

Display drivers keep crashing. Works well for just browsing but the instant I do someyhing like play a game they crash again. Can only get to windows login if I'm lucky.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and doing the same with a clean install. I'm really at a loss at this point. Do I have a bad card? Are nvidia's latest drivers shit?

Also, when I connect my DVI cable to my motherboard instead of my GPU so I can actually get video instead of a black screen, I get no video unless I completely remove my card. Is there any way around this so I don't have to keep taking my GPU out?

>>56653497
if you do that on panda you'll get banned. tumblr, your best bet would be writing a script for it and then putting that on your phone, if you can't find anything on fdroid.

cisco networking essentials (2nd ed or greater) by troy..... mcmillan (i think)

then read the rfc's for the protocols you want to know more about after reading said book (https://tools.ietf.org/rfc/index)

If you cant, time to think about building a lab. IRC helped me with mine.

lrn2 wireshark / RTFM (how your home connection will help you)

after you have done all of this you should have the basics down.

No. There are several differences. Windows recognizes them differently, for starters. It treats HDDs more like a permanent drive. HDDs tend to have higher consecutive read/write bandwidth, and be more trouble if you unplug them prematurely. Plus many of them require external power.

Warranty's/coverage plans/insurance are things designed to take your money and give it to someone else. When you realize that it becomes simpler. However it works out, they make more money than the lose by offering the insurance. If something goes wrong, you can usually pay to have them fix it. And many things will be partially or fully covered even if you buy no additional insurance. On the other hand, even if you do buy the insurance, they'll often make you pay a deductible anyway. The only time insurance is a good idea is if you absolutely cannot afford the risk of paying for the damages on your own, or you're willing to pay extra just for some special customer service that may happen to come with the plan.

You can download windows 7

http://pastebin.com/smjvLZN4

If it came with windows 10 pro you can get the 7 license for free, but not all computers that come with windows 10 actually support windows 7

http://www.groovypost.com/howto/downgrade-windows-10-to-windows-7-windows-81/2/

If you do go through with it you really want to copy all your files to something else and let windows 7 format the system. You can use macrium to create a full system image in case you want to return to 10 exactly the way it was, or you can just download a copy of 10 directly from microsoft before you begin, so if you run into any problems you can just reinstall it. You don't really have to worry about partitions much either way, and Windows 10 should reactivate itself automatically.

When I set everything up here shit works fine, the PC is connected to the monitor through a DP cable.

When I go there, I have to use a DVI cable and I can't get any signal from the monitor , trying a different monitor (again DVI) had the same result. The monitors at their house only support VGA and DVI, the output from the PC is only DP and DVI.
I took it back to my place and behold with DP everything works fine.
What gives ?

Try setting it to auto detect display type or setting it to DVI.

>>56655059
maybe something in the graphics card settings? if their monitor isn't broke it's something with the graphics card. the card might be recognizing the dvi monitor as a secondary monitor because you set it up on a DP

>>56655088
yep I tried that as well, it was set to auto detected, I manually cycled between all the inputs.

my next step is going to be use a DVI cable here with my monitor and see what happens.

If not, maybe try some DP to DVI adapter ?

Linux is the kernel of the operating system.

GNU is the foundation which creates the core utilities of the "linux experience". These are called coreutils. They also sponsor many userland projects, such as GNOME, which are common in Linux desktops.

GNU/Linux is a meme created by Richard Stallman because he believes that the GNU project has contributed as much to the end Linux experience as the kernel developers themselves.

gtx 660
its not some power house, but it was free and the mobo has no on board video so I had to get something,

if it wasn't for the free gtx 660 I would have purchased something like a 5450 or gt 210

my mobo just died, i have a spare one, but its a msi z77a for ivys and sandys,

here's the thing. it doesn't have offset voltage.

is it safe to have a constant voltage of say like 1.225 all the time?

I'm looking for a simple program for win7 that creates some virtual desktops and lets me move programs between them. "desktops" (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc817881) is what I want in simplicity but its doesn't let me move windows between the desktops. Anyone got suggestions?

Should I get this router?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TCU295S/

It has wireless AC, seems to have a good range, and it supports DD-WRT. My current router seems to be very bad, as it can't keep up with gigiabit connections from my desktop to my server in the basement over ethernet. I was considering building a PFsense router, but I would need it to be very stable with little maintenance required. I was thinking that if I ever do decide to make a pfsense box I could repurpose this router as a powerful access point. What does /g/ think?

Hi Anons,
I need some good sources of tech news so that I can keep up to track on whats going on without having to waste hours online. Also just generally decent tech article sites would be nice.

Assuming on Windows 10 the legitimate key provided gets fucked due to an update (this happened to many people) is it okay to just use a crack just to force shit to work again?

Currently running an overclock on my 1070 and it's sitting comfy and stable at 2020Mhz (1.075 voltage, 112% power target). Anything wrong with keeping this going forever?

I just downloaded winehq as per https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian, which asks to enable i386 architecture

When I installed winehq-devel, I got a long list that said "144mb, and will require a further 529mb." Wine should only be ~20mb afaik, and all of the components in the long list had "i386" in their file names.

In short, does adding an architecture really require half a gb of new files?

I can't get this Samsung tablet to connect to a Dell XPS 8700 that runs on Windows 10. What do? Am I fucked?

>>56655790
Yes, but both massively blow away any traditional wireless connections, and I believe both are pretty heavily dependent on the 5ghz band, which has fairly poor range/obstacle penetration. In practice I doubt you'll ever fully utilize either, and especially not on a single connection. Most NICs won't even go above 600mpbs. You probably want to work out that wired solution if at all possible.

>>56655996
Thanks. I use a wired connection for most of my things. The wireless is used for mobile devices and laptops mainly, and most of those are through a wall or two. From what I can see it looks like the R6400 you posted has good DD-WRT support, I will probably get that.

I'm trying to get Kodibuntu running in a virtual machine to use as a media center. I'm using Hyper-V, have created the Kodibuntu machine as a Generation 1, and assigned a RemoteFX 3D Adapter to it before starting the installation from the .iso.

Once installation is complete, I get a message that tells me I need an OpenGL supported video card. After researching, I think I just need to get the RemoteFX drivers installed, but I am not very familiar with Linux. Is there a shell command I can run to find those drivers (do they even exist?) or another kind of workaround?

Not sure where to post this but can you guys help me out? I'm working on my first Java project to solve quadratic equations and I needed some advice on making %f work on some lines of my coding. Line 31 and 35 are killing me because I want the commas between each answer and all of it enclosed in parenthesis but when I do it along with %.5f I get errors unless I take the commas and parenthesis out. I thought maybe I just made this complicated for myself but just going straight in with the formulas instead of declaring them to some variables but even that isn't working out for me. So I left line 31 with only one decimal place instead of 5 like I wanted. At line 35, there's supposed to be two numbers separated by a comma but since the method I was trying with %.5f wasn't working out I just left it there with VerI and VerII. Usually I would get the "bad operand types for binary operator +++" so I assumed I just added too many + signs. Overall I can get my program to give me my desired answers but I can never format it the way I want them to be. I'll be on for a while so I respond back and post more screenshots or better explain my situation if needed. Thanks /g/.

My gfs parents are complaining their laptop has no storage. I was going to give them my old PC but i'm using the gpu from my old one and its an old i7 920 rig so it doesnt have an integrated gpu. I was thinking

B: Give them my old PC with the gpu I have right now and upgrade to a 1060/1070 (gpu is a 660 ti)

How many drive bays does their current laptop have, and is it already using an ssd?

>>56657596
Which language is this?

>>56657597
It has a 240gb ssd, but they have tonnes of family shit like photos and videos that take up a tonne of space and need to be backed up. I have a spare 3tb drive for them so that should last a fair while. I just dont know what option to go with.

>>56657625
C++.

>>56657629
Well not C, if their only problem is a lack of storage. You say their laptop is working well for them otherwise? And again, how many drive bays to they have?

>>56657661
Drive bays? It's a laptop. I'd have to buy a USB dock for them.

>>56657677
I know it's a laptop. About 40% of laptops have a slot in them for a second HDD/SDD. A few more have room if you take out the DVD drive. A lot of people move their HDD to the second slot when they get an SSD.

>>56657547
Option C would be my choice. It is expensive, but the integrated GPU is good enough and you can thow an SSD into it too. A is fine if the laptop is modern enough for them and B works too if you have an SSD there and want to spend as little as possible.

>>56657706
Why would he spend money on an entirely new PC when his only identified problem is being short on storage? He could get a 1tb SSD for less than that.

>>56657703
Did not know that, It was an old dell laptop my work was selling about 100 of them for $50 each. Its only got 1 drive bay.

>>56657724
Option B will be as expensive as option C to be honest, If I did B then i'd need to buy a gpu which would help me out. I got a spare SSD laying around from it, their 240gb ssd in the laptop would stay in there and the 120gb I have would go in my old PC so they dont have a slow laptop.

>>56657596
You can't use variables that have no name. So if you don't need the arguments then just remove them, but if you have to have them due to interface then omitting names is fine.

>>56657515

Here's a simple render loop, I think that's where your problem is.

glClearColor(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
do {
    glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
    glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);
    
        //draw here

    glDisableVertexAttribArray(0);

    glfwSwapBuffers(window);
        glfwPollEvents();
} while (glfwWindowShouldClose(window) == false);

>>56657765
I only meant as headers.

Example:

double example (double, double);

double function (double a, double b){
statements;
}

vs

double example (double a, double b);

double function (double a, double b){
statements;
}

Is there a consequence to the first?

>>56657800
Realized I "fucked" that up. Just pretend they both have the same name for the functions.

>>56657596
You don't need to name the variables in function prototypes.
I usually don't so that if I decide to change a variable name later, I don't have to do it in two spots.

If you're going with an external drive, and they move the laptop around a lot, I'd try and go with one of those super portable drives that doesn't need a separate power cord, even if it means only 1-2tb of storage. If you really feel like upgrading your rig you could go with B.

You could also go with either of these in a pinch:

Any ghostery users here?
how do you know which trackers to block and which to allow?
do you like google everyone of them?
are there certain groupings i should block?

I have a zowie ZA11 which I dislike for the hump on the back. HOWEVER the rubber coating I love because of my sweating hands. Do any of the zowie fk2, ec2-a, or the ec1-a have that coating on it instead of the smooth coating.

>>56658056
Get over ghostery. They sold out hard. It's all about ublock origin now.

>>56658063
The Mionix Avior is a similar mouse with a low hump and a rubberized coating.

legit? wtf happened?
i thought you needed both lol
desu i got the addon back like a few years ago, couldn't figure out watdo with it, and never tried again till now

For functions, in C++, do the function variables need to have the same name if I want to pass arguments to them?

Like if I enter in a, b, c to

int function (int a, int b, int c)

And then enter in a2, b2, c2, will

int function (int a, int b, int c)

will the function still take a2, b2, c2 even if they aren't named a, b, c?

Hey /g/. I just bought a laptop and I want to put Windows 7 on it. I looked around to buy a digital copiy but you don't actually buy them from Microsoft, they will give you one if you have a key I think however. Anyway, I see that there are other people that aren't microsoft that sell these digital copies like here:

Are these legit?

Thank you so much! This definitely helped!

downgrade to 9.3.3

>>56658154
If I get what you're trying to ask, inside of the function, the values you pass will go in the variables named a, b, and c regardless of HOW they are passed (literals, variables of any name, etc).

>>56658154

no....

you can pass any valid argument to a sub-routine, and it doesn't have to be the same name.

>>56658154
yes. I'm assuming you mean something along these lines:

int main()
{
int a2 = 2, b2 = 3, c2 = 5;
function(a2, b2, c2);
return 0;
}

What this does is that it passes the values of a2, b2, and c2 into function() and function() creates local variables that are initialized to the values of the arguments you passed in.

Hopefully this makes sense

>>56658216
they don't require the same name...

How do you tell which direction a PC fan is supposed to blow air without plugging it in?

>>56658254
Check for arrows in the side.

>>56658190

>>56658254
sticker side (the side with the cross bars on it) goes in direction of flow, usually.

>>56658202
>>56658214
I was thinking so, but having trouble with this program it seems with my functions.

>>56658145
Ghostery got involved with a "ghostrank" feature that helps advertisers target their ads to you better. And it was never better than the alternatives anyway. If you want more than what ublock offers, on noscript level, you can turn on advanced features, or get umatix. If you want simple, granular control then Disconnect is better than ghostery, or you can just enable it's lists in ublock.

You can get keys from kinguin for cheap. They're usually alright, and even if one turned out to be bad it would probably be cheaper to buy twice than get one off amazon.

Do you need it to be legit?

For Windows 7 you can download the iso frim anywhere and just activate it with daz loader if you're scared of being scamed

Is Feed43 still the best/easiest free tool to create quick notifications for web pages that don't have native support for RSS or something similar? Been using it for years but don't know if somethiing better is around, it does have some pretty obvious limitations but does suit my needs for the most part.

>>56658412
>You can download the ISO "anywhere"

That's not something we should be telling people.

Why not, exactly?

How hard is the A+ cert exam?
I got a feeling I'm gonna need it for a job.

Been studying and doing practice tests. I either do good, or I'm just under passing.

I've got maybe 4 years shitty mom-and-pops computer repair store experience, and usual pc enthusiast knowledge with a little networking and electronics on the side.

I'm confident in the practical parts. But i'm getting questions asking me how many pins are on all the different cpus, and the numbers of pins on sticks of ram. Maybe some people can memorize that and find it useful, but I can't commit any of it to memory for the life of me.

Anyone got any proven sources to study from? Don't want to blow money on material to study.

Because about 80% of windows ISOs are drowning in hidden malware.

>>56658649
Ah, fair point.

I'm pretty sure that the checksums for the old Digital River ISOs are still around, so you could use one of those to be safe.

>>56658670
Actually you can use the official source to confirm when an ISO hasn't been modified

Installing Mint over Windows 7
Will these settings install Mint onto my 1.5tb hdd and not the 16gb flashdrive that the installer is on? It's what I'm trying to do but I'm not sure.

>Will these settings install Mint onto my 1.5tb hdd and not the 16gb flashdrive that the installer is on?
Yes.

What's the 104MB NTFS partition for?

>>56658816
I'm not sure, it was just there when the installer opened. Should I just delete it?

best android browser?

You've got it right. 1,000,000 MB is a Terabyte

I'm getting this now. I'll do a little research on swap space quick unless someone can explain how to create some and how much to create.

>>56658822
you should find out what's on it first

though assuming you didn't need anything on the drive when you began, it won't have anything important on it

linux certainly doesn't need any ntfs partitions

>>56658816
Depending on who installed the windows partition, sometimes there is a "hidden" recovery partition. I'd leave it if that is the case. Its only taking up 100mb.

>>56658837
Think paging file on windows. Bigger than system memory.

>>56658837
intend to use hibernate? make swap the same size as ram
do you think it likely you will come close to using all of your physical ram? assign one or two GiB as swap so your system can fall back on it if need be
otherwise, you don't need swap

note: you can add swap from any disk later at any time

What-do

Try a more up-to-date ISO.

>>56658919
This was the most recent version

>>56658916
i have never personally used EFI, but i believe it requires a fat32 partition with the EFI flag set
not sure if GPT is required, but EFI systems typically use GPT
