Install Gentoo. Seriously, Ubuntu is shit.

I use Calculate Linux for my personal computer and laptop, but this is a family computer. It's difficult enough to ease them into babby-mode Linux, without taking risks and using less reliable but more elitist bleeding edge software.

I know Unity has some crappy botnet things, but I use other DE's so I don't think that is a big problem, and even Richard M. Stallman admits that Ubuntu puts you must closer to freedom then Windows or OSX.

Can I program video games or enter cyber security if I am a computer engineer?

>>57002656
>if I am a computer engineer?
"computer engineer"? That sounds like an arbitrary title based on a piece of paper you got from college.
Tech companies don't care about your degree or your fake paper qualifications. They care about your skills.
You should ask
>What, broadly speaking, is the intersection between the skillsets of a designing games and securing computer systems, so I know how to start on my broad skills before I commit to my more specialized skills?
>Which of these areas is generally more emotionally rewarding and fulfilling for those involved.
>Which one has a better pay check at start-up, and which one offers better opportunities for a raise.

computer science would be an easier degree to get compared to engineering and you'll get those jobs.

What would the difference between these two be? Desktop seems to have a slightly higher RPM (5900 vs 5400). Would there be any difference in longevity / failure rate between 3.5" and 2.5"? Is there a benefit to external power?

Is there a difference between 1600 Mhz and 1866 Mhz DDR3 RAM?

I'm upgrading a computer with 4 GB of 1866.
My brother bought me a 16 GB stick as a gift but it's 1600 Mhz.

I don't wanna mix frequencies. Should I toss out the old ram despite the new one being "slower"?

Anyone using 4chanx and filters?
It seems like the stub option suddenly stopped working for me.

For example I have the following filter:

Does Windows 10 have known issues with copying/moving files between drives? I've had this sequence of events happen like 5 times in the past week.

>Instruct Windows to copy or move a few files, usually totaling 1-4gb, between SSD to HDD
>HDD is usually spun down from being idle
>The file transfer window opens, but doesn't move. It's stuck at 0%.
>Assume that Windows needs to send the instruction to spin up the HDD
>HDD spin up never happens
>Other processes begin to behave strangely and eventually stop working altogether
>BSOD

I really don't think this is a hardware issue. I'm usually a Debian/Mint user and this hasn't happened at all in Linux. I'm in Windows because I'm using some disc imaging tools that are Windows only. This is making the whole process very annoying.

Is there a business degree that can pay me 50+K a year? I couldn't cut it in the intro to EE course. I'm planning to change majors to business, but I'm not sure what's a good business degree. I want to work in the tech field area at least.

>>57003232
check http://chromium.woolyss.com/
There you can find also an extension that will help you keep it updated.
If you don't like it just check on that page from time to time, it tells you what version are you running and gives you links to the new updates.

I'm using a raspberry pi as a seedbox and I want to be able to share the files I get over http with my friends.
I want a http server that'll basically do this: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/
I notice at the bottom it says Apache, but can anyone link me a guide to get this done or perhaps give some keywords I can use to find guides?

>>57003603
if you are sure those disks are fine then it's a driver problem. Only time I've seen that it takes more than usual to start moving/copying files is if the drive is sleep and has to start spinning up. Check the power settings and check on the HDDs to never turn off, restart and try to move your files.

Oh well, I just uninstalled chromium

Hey /g/

I noticed Amazon is selling an ASUS 1070 Turbo edition.
Is Turbo edition a good version? They're selling it for $390 which is is the cheapest I've seen.
Considering I have a $70 off points discount on Amazon. I think I might just do it.
Good idea? Or is ASUS Turbo a bad 1070 model?

I want to start using Ubuntu (The Gnome one): If i play Skyrim(or any program/game) using a Windows emulator, did it gonna use the "Double" of the capacity of my PC or something??? It is efficient if i use it like this?
Also I just want it because it looks nice.

So I've got a modem with two ports, one of which is used by the router which has 4 ports. Of the 5 available ports, all are taken.

Can I buy a switch to expand the number of ports and plug the router into it, or should I get a modem with more ports? I dont believe I can change the router, due to circumstance outside of my control.

I'm trying to use Titanium Backup on my LG G3 and I am having weird problems. I try to backup my apps, but it keeps saying that there is insufficient space on the device even though I have 15gb worth of free space. I read that I have to go into supersu and disable mount namespace or something like that and so I do that and try it again, but I still run into the same error.

The oddest thing to me is that I deleted my previous backup of apps and tried backing up the new ones, but whenever I close and restart titanium backup again, the same apps I deleted before reappear as if I never deleted it 10 times previously. What could be causing this?

I just built a new PC.

I am doing the infamous 4 hour Windows Update checklist at the moment, so I have nothing installed but Speccy.

Is it normal to have unusual fluctuating temps for your CPU when everything isn't up-to-date? IE drivers and shit. 36 degrees one second, 40 the next?
i5 6600k is the cpu in question.

Streamci.dll module could not be found. I read on google that this is a problem with the windows default audio driver being either missing or corrupt. I'm going with corrupt on account of my audio still, you know, working.

If sfc doesn't help, is there any reason I can't just take that file from my laptop and manually replace that .dll?

I'm running Ubuntu and by default it doesn't have any special iptables rules. It just allows everything. Should I set it to block everything and then whitelist what I need whitelisted? Or am I safe as it is?

I'm on my home network and I trust everyone on it. Am I vulnerable from outside attacks? If someone on my network gets a virus could it successfully attack me? I seed torrents all the time. Is that a possible vector for an attack? Are there only certain services that I should be worried about? If I start an SSH server running for use on my local network am I suddenly vulnerable to brute forcing by anyone?

Any of you that bought g2a/kinguin, ever had any problem? Did you had key banned after a while?

it's a 16GB stick? not two 8GB or four 4GB sticks? what does it say on the sticker? look for something similar to PC3-12800U or a part number if possible. the difference in speed is negligible, but if that's the wrong kind of ram or if it's too large for your motherboard/CPU to support, you'll have issues.

>>57005673
When you turn on your laptop do you hear scratching or clicking? In which case, your hard drive might have failed.

To answer your next question, no. There is no timely way to recover data off of a hard drive. However, if you do really want to recover your hard dive afterwards, you can take your laptop to a data recovery center, and they will usually be able to recover most of the data on the hard drive.

>>57005791
Thinkpad is a pretty good choice, you might be able to snag up something like a used W540 with such a high budget, maybe even a W550s.

Define lightish, though. Most 15.6" laptops are gonna weigh in at around 2.2 - 2.5kg.

Is that a good idea? Which router would be good for Steam Link gaming? I am looking for $60 and below.

What is best Linux distro before I touch my hand on Arch?

My ex-wife remarried and had two kids with her new husband.
They got divorced my ex-wife changed her and the kids' last names to my last name.
So now two kids, who I have no legal or biological connection to, have my last name.

Is this legal? Can I fight it in any way?

My ex is batshit insane so I have a feeling that she's trying something.

I'm looking for jobs in my area at the moment and I've seen a couple for system administrators.

It seems like they mostly entail, backing up, taking wifi surveys and writing documentation.
Can someone chime in with how hard sysadmin jobs are, and generally what you do in a day?

For the record both I've seen have been with windows unfortunately. Is there a big learning curve with windows sysadminning?

Windows sysadmin stuff is super easy, but incredibly tedious and unrewarding (the pay may be alright, though).
Realistically, you would set up group policies for the machines on your domain (mostly to ensure they can't run .exe files you don't allow, install software, or make modifications to their machine), and then that's it.
Your day-to-day tasks would be along the lines of "my email won't load" or "my computer is slow", and you'll restart their computer and it's done.

After testing it out a little bit, when the usb 2.0 ports 'die', it is the mouse/ keyboard that don't work (they only have their led indicator lights flashing), but for some reason usb drives don't disconnect and can still be written to/ read from.

i've used an old sandisk drive for years for similar uses and it's just now starting to die. probably a few hundred windows installs/pmagic boots, and reformats. i think a faulty motherboard ended up almost frying it, but it still somewhat works after overheating that one time. if it weren't for that, i'm sure it would have lasted a few more years.

Well you have to upgrade at some point anyways, 2500K wont last five years. You could sink 100-150 dollars into something that only lasts few years and won't give any performance, but would that really be wise? I'd recommend just biting the bullet and upgrading now.

Don't know where to go with this question, but I guess I'll try here.

So my new 3ds suffered a nasty fall recently from me being a dumb ass and tripping on the cord while getting up. And it ended up like pic related, the cables didn't completely tear off but I can see what I think is the screen's cable and wi-fi cable being damaged.

I assume both screen and wi-fi cable are fucked, but maybe there's someone here who knows more than me and can correct me if I'm wrong. I already ordered a new shell housing to replace this broken one (and an outer shell to prevent this bullshit).

And I'm wondering if I should order a screen and wi-fi cable replacement as well so I can get repairs done, since I doubt parts for it exist in my country.

Screen is black and wi-fi signal is super weak, so I'm guessing I'm right about this. The little plastic part you see there actually came off the system but I kind of mashed it in there with no problem.

Anyway, don't really know where else to ask. Thanks in advance.

>>57008299
Well, Nintendo always hides the Screen, wifi, and sound for top screen into a single flat wire in the left hinge. You'd only need to replace that normally. The thing is, the flat wire is soldered to the screens, and removing it is not worth the hustle. So probably you'd need to replace the whole fucking screen and everything that was connected to that flat wire in the hinge. Also to prevent futher damage, it'd be good to replace the whole shell for this device.

Find a person who could do a repair in your country. If you're already a 3DS user in some 3rd world country, then I assume you probably know all the other 3DS users in your country. Someone has to know/be able to fix that.

Overclocking a CPU I can understand. Going from 3GHz to 4 is a 33% increase in performance more or less.

But as far as I know you can't overclock GPUs as much. Do the little increases really help that much? And how exactly do they help, Do you get better graphics or does it make the framerate simply more consistent?

Can a Plex server be instructed to buffer-transcode?

Currently I have a relatively weak server, so transcoding some x265 show to play on a chromecast for example, it struggles with. During playback there's lots of stuttering as could be expected - however can I configure the Plex server to do a large chunk of transcoding before starting playback? Eg. I click on a show to watch, and rather than instantly starting playback it starts to transcode for 5 min, then starts playback while continuing to transcode further into the show?

I want to know how many posts came before a particular post on fireden.net. I already have something that does this on 4chan, by using appchan x's custom css thingy and having this in it

body {counter-reset: postnumber;}
.postNum.desktop::after {counter-increment: postnumber;  content: " No." counter(postnumber);position:relative; ;} 

It works well enough in my opinion, and it just appends the number of the post relative to the thread after the post number. How can I do this for fireden? I tried pasting the same thing in the style editor of firefox, but that didn't work. I have no idea how I got that css to work in the first place.

>>57009293
It shuffles the array returned by getArray.
So say the array has 5 elements. Then you start with i = 4, so that getArray()[i] is the last element.
You generate a random integer from 0 to 4, location. This means getArray()[location] is a randomly chosen element to the left of the last element, or the last element itself. You swap getArray()[i] and getArray()[location], so that your last element is now at a random position.
You then decrease i, meaning you're looking at the second to last element. Again you pick a random element from its left, swap them and so on, until every element (except for the first one) has been swapped with an element to its left (or not, in case the randomly picked location equals i).

What's the general knowledge I need to get into security.

>>57009600
"Security" is very broad, it depends what you want to specialize in. Knowing languages isn't necessary as such, but it's definitely a huge help if you do as (a) you'd be able to write your own tools and (b) through understanding languages you'll have a better understanding of what's happening "under the hood".

What you WILL need is to be able to -understand- languages and overall systems - so for example with webapp security you'd need to understand what's happening in, say, a Javascript script, HTML, Java webapp etc. but you don't need to be able to write these. You would however need to gain a good understanding of how different internet protocols, servers, software configurations etc. work.

On the flip side for software security, you want to be able to understand C and Assembly (or whatever language your target may be using if it can be decompiled - Python, C#, Java etc), but not necessarily need to be able to write code in these. Again, huge help if you can but you don't have to be able to. With software security you need a deep understanding of the CPU, how the underlying computer is working and also the details of the specific operating system (and thus PE structure, configuration etc) that your target runs on.

Then, with all aspects of security come further rabbit holes to jump down. You might find yourself interested in cryptography, IoT and hardware hacking, malware analysis, etc and they all have their own aspects and topics to delve into.

> tl;dr: No specific language, lots of specific knowledge. Find what aspect you're interested in and focus on that. Tonnes of good literature, but again there's no "security" literature, there's literature on all the sub-sections of the sub-sections of security

It's tricky but can be done.
You need to check your router's chipsets - two chipsets from the same manufacturer will tend to work better.
DD-WRT/OpenWRT are your friends.
Of course, it's better if you can just run ethernet to the second AP.

Could be that your DAC & Amplifier is shit. Siberia is designed for plugging to headphone jacks while AKG's are designed to be used with hifi equipment. Or it could simply be that you prefer the sound of siberia while other people dislike it. This higly depends on what kind of content or which genres of music you listen to.

I have a CRT monitor that I used to run at 1600x1200 at 75Hz when I had a nvidia card.

Now I'm trying to use the same monitor with Intel HD Graphics and it refuses to go above 1600x1200 at 66hz even though the official monitor specs lists 1600x1200 at 75Hz as supported.

Any way to fix this?

Alright g I have this bitch of an xp machine that just won't Post. I've already tried the basic troubleshooting of taking the ram out etc including taking out the Battery and cleaning the cmos but no Post at all just the cpu fan spining with no beep codes or anything.
I'm guessing is either the mobo or the psw might be dying. Anything else I missed?

>>57011164
Further clarification:
The Intel HD Graphics control panel is stopping me from doing a custom resolution above 1200p/66hz. I do not get an out of range error on the monitor. Intel simply refuses to accept the resolution.

>>57011084
Thanks for your help, but adding this to sudoers doesn't fix it. Any other way you know of to tackle my problem?

I don't have a DAC or amp. I have tested it on different types of .flac music but prefered siberia on every.
Do i need an amp or DAC? I don't know alot about that stuff.

>>57011215
What i posted is exactly how you do what you want to do

>>57006700
did you do an

 airodump-ng -W <iface> 

to determine if the router you're attacking has WPS enabled? The reason you keep seeing the same pin is because when reaver fails the transmission of the pin it tries to resend it. So it sounds like the pin is failing in transmission to the router.

This is my build. It's a couple of years old.

I wanna upgrade but I'm unsure which part would make the most sense to upgrade. I'm assuming with regards to gaymen the bottleneck would be the GPU but I'm also assuming since I'm a retard my intuition may be off and the CPU could be the bottleneck just as well

I'm definitely gonna cram some more RAM in there simply because it's so cheap

>>57011226
And I did exactly as you told me to do, however, it is not working.

>>57011164
It could be that your processor's iGPU simply does not support a refresh rate that high. If you can get a higher framerate at lower resolutions then it's a bandwith limitation.

>>57011174
If your processor has integrated graphics then remove everything except mobo, 1 stick of ram and the processor and only connect power and that display.

But yes, your motherboard is probably dead.

>>57011217
If it is 50 ohms or lower then you shoudnt need a seperate amplifier. DAC could help, but you're getting into audiophile territory there. Besides good amps cost like 100 dollars so they're not worth buying.

Which frequencies are annoying you the most (bass, mids or tremble)? Does it get better if you crank the volume up?

>>57011279
The CPU is good enough for few years, you need a new graphics card. Don't sink too much money on more ram, you'll have to replace them with DDR4 memory when you upgrade your CPU. 8GB should be fine on everything except the most recent titles.

>>57011300
Yes, but you need to connect it into something that you can access remotely. So your friend needs to set up a computer or some other NAS server for it and allow external connections to it.

>>57010337
>>57010572
Why did you pick EE over CE or CS?

>>57011343
>Besides good amps cost like 100 dollars
Good DACs start at 100 dollars and audiophiles usually recommend 200-300 dollar ones.

I just build my PC and got a free copy of Win10.

I just want to ask what settings in the bios should i change for Win 10?

Secure boot: Enable or disable? (its greyed out now idk why)
OS Type: Other OS or Windows UEFI?
CSM: enable or disable?

Also does Win10 format the HDD to GPT only?

is your user account in the sudo group?
don't add yourself to the sudoers file. instead add yourself to the sudo group.
then close all existing terminal windows, open a new one and type

 sudo su 

does that prompt for your user account password?

So I got a 144hz 1440p main monitor and a 1080p 60hz secondary monitor.

So far I got it to work so the main monitor seems to work normally at 144hz. However, the second monitor is weirdly laggy. Like when I drag windows around on it, everything seems to have high latency and moves really unsmoothly.

How do I fix that?

Also, when I have firefox maximized on my 144hz monitor it's kind of wrong and laggy like that aswell, though not as hard. When I fullscreen it with f11 or window it, I dont have that issue.

In video games I have not noticed an issue. They seem to be working at 144hz properly as far as I can tell.

>>57011483
Oh and I forgo tto mention, I'm on windows 7. When I google this most people with this issue seem to have it related to something windows 10.

>>57011407
>Secure boot: Enable or disable? (its greyed out now idk why)
If you enable it then you'll have difficulties installing any linux, but on the other hand viruses have harder time replacing the windows boot loader. It requires UEFI. If you just install one operating system and don't do anything too special you might want to keep it on.

>OS Type: Other OS or Windows UEFI?
UEFI has some advanced features but nothing that'll change your user experience. Enable it if you havent installed windows, otherwise leave it as it is (because you'll have to reinstall windows if you change it)

>CSM: enable or disable?
It adds a compability mode for older operating systems that don't use UEFI. No reason to disable it.

How much money are you willing to sink into one?
>rx 460, rx 470, gtx 1060 6GB, gtx 1070
Get the most expensive one out of that list. If you're looking at 460 then you might want to wait for gtx 1050(ti?) which is supposed to be released in a month or two.

>>57011515
no dipshit there is literally a group called "sudo"

wheel is just a group that belongs to root and has nothing to do with the sudo program
run:

 cat /etc/group 

and see for yourself

>>57011452
I removed the # before

%wheel ALL (ALL=All) ALL

, then added user lain to the wheel group using

usermod lain -g wheel

and restarted my system. Still, it only asks for my passwd once (I sudo startx) but let's me execute any command after that for an unlimited amount of time.

I am close to reinstalling desu

okay one last thing, how do i chose the specific version of the card i want? gygabyte, asus, msi, whatever? does it really make much of a difference?

Is it safe to use a AMD CPU with slightly bent pins? I pawned it off a friend

>>57011664
I removed myself from the wheel group, created the sudo group and added myself to it. It does not fix the problem.

To be clear: I _am_ prompted for my passwd, but only once. After the first time I can do whatever I want without worrying about a passwd. I want it to prompt me for my passwd everytime I attempt to do something I need su access for.

I need a help with creating a batch file that will copy the content of certain folder/file to the flash drive.
What I'm having trouble with is how to know the flash drive location.
Any ideas?

>>57011603
You can enable or disable secure boot and CSM, but you cant switch between legacy boot and UEFI because windows installs compability for one of them.

>>57011614
That 665 megabyte thing is probably window's own recovery partition. I got one at 450MB even though I dont have a linux. What does it say on the graph at bottom?

>>57011674
Should be safe to use if you can bend them back.

>>57011666
The biggest differences are different coolers and slight differences in clock speeds. Don't buy the cheap stuff like palit cards, go for the midrange ones. Doesn't really matter which one, they're all pretty similar. The most expensive ones are a waste of money unless you're planning on overclocking though.

Also don't buy rear exchaust/blower cards. Get a 2 or 3 fan card instead.

Yes, but The drive letter could change.
I'm making what would be "thief USB" drive.
A flash drive with batch file to copy the content of certain directories.
The first issue is how to know where to copy the files to.
The second is how to keep everything invisible/background.
The third is to know when it finished and safely eject the drive.

>>57011756
Yes, you are going from youer 144 to your 60, are you sure you're not just noticing the difference between the refresh rates, cause it sounds like yo uare

>>57011769
The variable %cd% has the current directory you're executing from. So %cd:~0,2% will only give you the first two letters of it.

>The second is how to keep everything invisible/background.
You cant really run a batch file without a cmd window popping up. You can try to mask it with by disabling command echoing and then writing some nonsense into it, but people will still get suspicious. Try writing a proper program instead.

>>57011770
I'm 100% sure it's not just that. It's way laggier than regular 60hz, like actual strong input lag and stuttering.

>>57011828
>The variable %cd%
Thanks.
>Invisible
I figured it out, I can run the batch file as a process this why not a single window would open.
>You can try to mask it with by disabling command echoing
I'm using @echo off.

The important thing is how to auto eject after finishing it up.
Will mountvol %cd% /P help?
