Is it bad that I hear a little electricity coming from my laptop charger? It's like a little noise that can be heard when pressed against your ear, however it is still noticeable in a quiet room. It's a Lenovo 170W 20V charger

>>57507076

AMD RX 460 = 100 or under
Nvidia GTX 1050 = 130 or higher

Are those ~30 bucks worth it? I know the 1050 is a bit faster but 30 bucks are 30 bucks, also I can get a 4GB RX 460 for about 110 dolla

In every Linux distro I've tried so far, the backslash/pipe key (US keyboard layout) makes the < and > symbols. Am I missing something?

>>57507126
if it's happening only recently, it could mean your charger is about to die. My bet? you're being paranoid.

>>57507156
Well, it's the first time I've noticed the sound. This charger is also kind of new, got it maybe 3 months ago

is nofap real?

Given a list of files, how can I give this list to ffmpeg as input. All the shit online only gives me a file glob pattern which doesn't work for my situation.

>>57507194
Maybe, but you should try just avoiding porn and 4chan and just wank with a vibrowand when you feel like you need to, which shouldn't be more than 2-3 times a week.

Stop pretending to be retarded.

i feel like i should be getting better fps out of my r9 390. is there a way to find out if im bottlenecked?

In my old dell that the family used to have, the computer used to just completely freeze and would not be able to do anything until you manually shut it off. What would cause something like that to happen?

>>57507288
If you use adblock and don't download from shady ass sites then you don't really need one
if you really care that much than just use avast

>>57507491
If your CPU is AMD, the answer is "yes"

>>57507530
so if its intel im probably not bottlenecked?

>>57507491
tell us your ram/cpu.

Anyone ever had success trying pic related?

Basically, I'm in a residence where I can't access the router. I've got the SSH server working, and I can connect and set up tunnels. The only annoying part is connecting to the FTP etc server. It works from the SSH server but not from the laptop.

I'm using PuTTY and a tunnel with remote -> local port and I checkmarked "remote ports do the same" but no luck.

>>57507628
definitely not bottlenecked. Consider getting a new GPU.

>>57507611
You need to have networking set up right so the VM has its own address instead of sharing one with th host, port forwarded, preferably external other than 22. I have external 55555 forwarded to internal 22. So there's not continuous login attempts cluttering the logfiles. set up other ssh security stuff.

What's running on the VM? Could you not be doing it locally on your laptop with git and such?

>>57507617

>>57507611
>>57507611
Depends on what your emulating, but easiest is probably just to do a NAT and port forward.

Here is where you want to look in virtual box. You'll need to also make sure you port forward from your router to your host as well, so that you can reach it from internet, not just local network.

Why do people not like java here?

>>57507698
I should also add that if you're behind a dynamic IP this will be more difficult obviously as the IP may change while you're out.

>>57507657
i have Arch on the VM. I have a base model surface pro 3, with a 1.5 GHz i3 and 4GB of RAM... i could work from it but the other engineers don't trust windows.

I would just get a new laptop that's better, but i can't really justify the cost of getting something decent when I mostly work from home.

>>57507705
Every program I've downloaded that uses java is a bloated pajeet piece of shit. I really have no hate for java in the abstract, but in reality it is bullshit.

It's probably okay for server side business logic, though. But it is haram for application code.

Every year I say to myself "this is surely the year VR becomes mainstream" and ever year I hold back from upgrading my PC anyway. Every year I've been proven right.

If I don't give two fucks about anything beyond 1080p on a primary monitor and another 1080p monitor to play videos and such on while I grind, is a 1070 the way to go - provided that VR doesn't in fact catch on next year?

i have git and vscode on my surface, but for testing purposes apparently there are some differences between running the site on windows vs running it on linux.

>>57507743
It's going to be several years before VR is anything more than a gimmick, same with any new technology. No sense waiting for it, and being an early adopter just means you get shafted more often than not. Just build your PC.

>>57507790
i should add that i've gotten everything up and running on my desktop in windows 10, so I'm aware that everything works, it's just that the other engineers would rather that everyone use linux when developing.

>>57507914
It doesn't matter what monitors I have now, I'm going to be using this graphics card for a few years and anything I get probably won't push it enough. I'll have a 1920x1200 monitor at most, and two or more other ones at lower resolutions.

Why?

>>57507641
Nevermind. I found out how.

I just need to set "GatewayPorts yes" in the sshd_config and restart the service. It works now.

Why isnt there a solar charged phone?

I have an old 5.1 system that I use as a 2.1 because I don't need the surround sound

I've had the subwoofer volume at 0 for months because of a rattling noise it produces and just now realized I've been going without one. It's pretty bulky and I'm trying to figure out a way to get rid of/replace it with something smaller as I'm not huge into music.
I'd prefer something that could use the speakers I have (as shit as they are, it could be cheaper).

Are the interfaces universal between systems? Meaning, could I just get a different subwoofer and plug my existing speakers in?
Is there even a market for very small subwoofers or at the least something to connect the speakers i have to my PC?

>>57508205
It would take longer than a day to charge if shut off the whole time.

>>57508272
The phone would be charged with a usb like any other phone, the solar part is for emergencies like those old calculators but stronger

>>57508216
Get a pair of bookshelf speakers. You'll probably be satisfied without a subwoofer when you finally have woofers. They connect to an amp or receiver by bare wire, so no connection compatibility to worry about there. You need to have other connectivity for subwoofers since most are self-powered.

>>57508282
Solar power banks do exist. For several years. Have you even looked?

>>57508282
So like solar powered battery banks?

cell surface area versus cell draw etc. Maybe if phones had a barebones OS for literally emergency cellular activity only.

>>57508205
A solar panel over a 6" phone would generate at best 3.5 watts, probably more in the realm of 2 or less, and add significant bulk to the phone.

>>57508303
>>57508300
>>57508315
I think itd be infinite battery life if the sun waves are strong enough, but that's how my mind work

>>57508322
Well it would require your phone to be face down so you couldn't use it while it was charging, and it would charge slower than normal usage would drain it, it would take up weight that could be used on a bigger battery, and you'd have to leave it in the sun to charge making it heat up and lower overall lifespan of your battery and other components, and add significant cost.

>>57508322
>Sun waves strong enough
>Can literally kill a phone if left on a dash
>Solar panels efficiency reduces in heat exposure
>Battery efficiency reduces in heat exposure
>Phone efficiency reduces in heat exposure

It's a great concept, doesn't work though.

Great, thanks
Audio equipment is pretty foreign to me, but it seems like that's the best choice

This is really quite stupid, I guess... But oh well.

So I've just plugged the 3pin direct power to my motherboard's integrated amp for better sound quality.
I notice quite a difference on my speakers (which are connected to the mobo's I/O). But am I supposed to notice a difference if I connect said speakers to the case's frontal audio output?

Touche

Everytime I have the need to ask this question /flt/ isn't posted.

So, whenever I press my left alt button (I do a lot,) my cursor freezes and acts as a scroll wheel which is annoying because I don't want to use that function at all! How do I disable this without unbinding alt altogether?

I'm on debian using xfce. Basically pressing alt and moving my mouse up and down acts as a scroll wheel.

I have dead pixel in my monitor or so I thought but it started fucking moving recently. I've had tiny white mites crawling over my tower occasionally could a tiny bug get behind my IPS screen or some shit? This is spooking me out goddamn.

How to figure out what drivers are missing or not compatible?
I've been having slow read and writes on a USB 3.0 port until I discovered that it's driver weren't even installed.

i'm installing ubuntu on a virtual box and its saying i have to erase my disk, and talking about formatting partitions. since i chose the option of using a virtual disk, does that mean my actual hard disk wont be touch?

>>57508919
Maybe the bug entered inside your screen and is still alive?

>>57508920
for XP: start -> right click on "My Computer" -> "Device Manager"
for win7: start -> right click on "Computer" -> Device Manager"
for win8: right click on the start button -> Device Manager

>>57508932
No, after you get past that, you will see that the drive name is something like VBOX. Nothing will touch your main hard drive if it's inside the virtual box.

Unless you wanna install that guest thing in VirtualBox where you can transfer data from your computer to your virtual machine.

>>57508938
Do you know if there is anything I can really do in this situation. I don't want to smash it because then its carcass will be in the corner of my screen forever. I mean it must have been attracted to the heat or something do you think there is any chance that if I turn off my monitor and leave it for a week the bug will find its own way out?

>>57508938
>for win7: start -> right click on "Computer" -> Device Manager"
Thank you for replying.
I know Windows itself includes drivers, but.
What should I do if most of the drivers installed are "generic" drivers ?
should I install the manufacture drivers or use some driver finding software like speccy?
It's a Lenovo G50-80 laptop by the way.

>>57508993
>speccy
what? that just displays statistics.

Go to Lenovo's website, click on "support" find something that lets you type in a model number or other ID code, holy shit I know this is a stupid question thread but this is "using the internet 101"

>>57508957
Not sure, you can try turning it off. The important part is, how expensive is it? Do you have a backup one while it's off?

You can try pliers (the small ones, forgot what they were called at the moment) but I'm not sure about it.

Though, if the bug is inside the LCD screen from the back, it will be hard taking it apart just for a bug. Someone suggested online to wait for the bug to crawl higher and to squish it so it won't be noticeable.

>>57509010

Try to find where the permissions are for each folder.

>>57509041
Whichever ones are updated and bloat-free. But I think they will be the same. Though, windows updates will give you the regular ones. In the case of graphics drivers in most cases, windows update will fix it by installing the old one (they never update it) because if the update breaks it will download the old one and fix itself. You should always find updates if you want to consider performance. Like, a lot of people download the updated graphic card drives from the manufacturer website instead of the computer distributor website.

I just installed the USB 3.0 drivers, and the chipset since the internal HDD was mounted as removable media.

There are two drivers that are missing, I guess one is for the webcam and the other for the SD card reader, won't be bothered to install it.
And since the generic driver for the intel HD 5500 are working fine and outputting to both the HDMI and the VGA port I see no need to change that.

It's been a long while since I used windows so I forgot most of these stuff.

The laptop belongs to my sister, she bought it, and someone in the shop told her that "windows 7 doesn't need drivers to be installed", then came complaining that the USB 3.0 is slow.

Is it a pirated windows 7?

>>57509317
I have the same problem, did a lot of research and tried a lot of things, no luck. It comes good in a couple of weeks anyway.

It was only a problem on my dad's laptop because he only has 3g and a couple of gig a month. I just disabled updates and told him to bring it back in a couple of weeks.

>>57509336
Yeah

>>57509331
Yeah I think it was actually between the backlight and the panel because it looked like it had depth. I missed it when I tried to squish it because the angle I was looking at it skewed its position but I noticed that it started running away. Eventually I got it off my screen area so it probably is still alive somewhere in there but if it comes back I'll just do it again.

>>57509362
I'm thinking that might be the issue. Try finding another distributor.

My PC died the other day. Couldn't get it to boot. The only reaction I got was that the ram lighting up.
I replaced the mobo and PSU and I'm sure the GPU is fine but I'm still getting the exact same response from my PC. What the fuck do I do?

>>57509377
Change the RAM? Boot it with either of your ram chips one by one and see which ram is messed up (if you have more than one ram chip.)

>>57509415

>>57509451
Yeah, that's weird, so are you saying both of your motherboards or power supplies are dead?

Check out if the motherboard has a manual online and see its error messages.

An anon earlier recommended I get some bookshelf speakers and an amp to replace my current setup

I see the Lepai 2020a recommended often, but it doesn't seem to be sold often. Are there any other cheap options that are commonly recommended?
Also, is there a preferred way to connect mobo audio out to RCA input on the amp?

Any interesting project proposals? Preferably for a medium-level programmer.

Bye bois.

>>57509460
My first instinct was a faulty power switch which turned out to be wrong.
Then I thought well my mobo was a few years old at that point so i thought that might be the source of the issue so I replaced it. I also did an RMA on my PSU just in case.
As I said before, neither of these things had any effect.

Additionally, my mobo doesn't have a speaker header which makes things much harder to diagnose.

Her eyesight isn't that bad.

UKfag, I need of a larger SSD to replace a low shitty Sandisk.

Samsung 850 EVO 500GB just went down to £135 (who even fucking knows the US price equivilent anymore, thanks Brexit). Should I grab it or wait and hope for it to get lower?

trying to assign arrays on php using the values from another array as its keys. for now, i'm using the code below to achive what i want, but since i use eval, it's pretty damn slow. this is the code i use to do it;

foreach ($keys as $k) {
    $kv .= "['$k']";
}
eval("\$result$kv = $value;");

the count() of $keys always changes on each loop so i can't use variable variables without guessing how many variable variables i should use. any ideas?

Can you recommend a good free OCR program? I have a TIF file to convert into text.

>>57509854
Does anyone know a solution to this?

I have one .c file that does some task, but the assignment I'm currently working on explicitly requests that there should be a main.c file, another .c file and a .h file.
How do I split my original file? What should go in these three different files?

>>57508698
What I'd do is get a refurb laptop I can afford to replace at any time and not get stressed about it breaking when used around other people. You never know when a professor will forget your laptop's screen is not paper, and draw on it with a permanent marker. It happens.

And then I'd build a desktop I can expect to not be destroyed.

That laptop's CPU benchmarks worse than a desktop Xeon you can get for $30. Do you imagine a gaming laptop would enable you to be social with your games? Or that you could play them alone in public without feeling embarrassed/awkward/intrusive? Maybe you could, idk.

I have an old thinkpad t41 and i want it to revive it with Linux.
I was trying to install Ubuntu Mate, but the CPU doesnt have PAE (Physical Address Extension), and ubuntu brings it as default in the kernel.
I was thinking about Void Linux, how stable it can be? More than Arch?(already have arch installed on the t41 but i want to use it for work).
Any recomendations?

>>57511688
Debian Testing or Unstable

Or your dad's old smartphone from 2012.

Arch is not for work. It's for those without work to do to feel like they're working while putting in less effort than required by a video game.

Just realized yesterday my new cpu i7 6700k was running hot, downloaded asus, intel extreme tuning utility to test it. During stress test it hit 97 degrees celsius after 1 minute.
Used the benchmark test and it went too 100 c pretty fast.
Found out the problem was my cpu fan being loose, i fixed it and it works perfect now.

My question is, Have i damaged my cpu, or shortened it's life span?
I have been gaming high demanding games like Bf1 for a week, and temps have probably been in the 90ties, maybe higher quite often.

Very stupid question.
I inherited an old desktop, was built in 2012 or something.
And it's very slow mostly because of it's celeron processor.
Anyway question is, Can the cpu be replaced, or to be more precise do I need to replace the motherboard as well because new mobos have different sockets or something?

>>57512990
You can replace the cpu, maybe not one from 2016, but probably a better one. The motherboard probably has information on it online-find out what motherboard it is (you can use speccy to find the motherboard or cpu). Look up the socket type of the motherboard, find information on what the maximum supported cpu is for the motherboard (just because the socket is the same doesn't mean it will support it, might need a bios update).

>>57507131
If youre on linux, get the 460 definitely. But I would most recommend an undervolted 470

>Pre 2016 cpu
That will be very hard to find.
The mobo is gigabyte I think will need to look for the socket type and maximum CPU that support it.
The RAM is DDR3 though.
Will it be a good idea then to replace the mobo and the CPU?

As soon as I turned on my laptop, the fans started spinning at max speed and it's loud and annoying, and it's not even hot. What do i do about this? It happened yesterday too

>>57513094
Download speccy, run it and post a screenshot here so we know what your computer is like. It might be easier to give suggestions then.

>>57513094
>>57512990
Google the model code for a manual (probably still on Gigabit's website). It'll tell you what CPU's it'll take, and what memory configurations are acceptable with them.

It won't help very much though - you'll have to replace the motherboard for a real upgrade. Combined with more RAM, it'll maybe be enough to smooth out Windows a bit, but you won't be able to run any new games or such.

I still have the games on my ssd
not sure what to do to see what went wrong

>>57513195
PCI express 1x is just a shortest version of PCIe. The connector size (x1 x4 x8 x16) does not matter as long as it can fit in the slot physically, and the generation (PCIe 1.0 or 2.0 or 3.0) does not matter either since the motherboard and the expansion card will connect using the highest common speed available.

In example a PCIe 2.0 x1 Network card can be placed on a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and it will run on 2.0 speed.

Networking for retards question:

So, my understanding is that essentially a user is on two networks, a local one (which i guess can be subdivided from there) and a global one. As such you get an ip address for each. The internet only sees the ip address of the network you're on connecting to the web. This is why my friend and I on the same network appear to have the same ip address to the rest of the world (like say if we both went on ip chicken). Do differentiate my friend and I from there, our local ip addresses on the network are used (the address I have if I type the command ip addr).

So barring me saying something stupidly wrong above, It leads to a conclusion that confuses me. Mainly the application of ports. As I understand, ports is the way to direct traffic coming in from the internet and tell it where to go on the local network. So If I set up ssh on a computer, I need to also open a port on my router and point it to that computers local address. My question is, if this is also true, then how to normal web browsers send information to the right location on a network without a port of some kind pointing to a particular address on the network? How does an incoming packet know which computer to go to on the local network?

Also, my understanding of networking is shit in general, so if anyone wants to step in and correct any misconception i made in general above, please be my guest.

Hi, if I use a Bluetooth speaker in the shower without pouring water on it, is there still a risk of it being damaged by steam ?

precision : the speaker is not directly in the shower but rather in the bathroom

>>57514713
1. It'll be fine.
2. Sometimes servers are slow. If they're not loading at all it's a bug, it sometimes happens to me. I usually browse incognito, so ending the incognito session and starting a new one works out for me. Otherwise I guess you have to clear cookies.

I do the same in my bathroom with my speakers (had them for 2 years) and they're fine. Wouldn't advise bringing it in the shower though.

Or if you're really not sure, just leave the speakers where you'd leave them usually and turn the shower on.
If you notice that there's lots of water condensing on them then maybe you have a reason to be worried. Otherwise you should be fine.

You see a good offer? buy it.

Doesnt matter if something better is out, you already got a good deal before.

Recuva?

I need recommendations for wireless adapters for my Desktop. Using a LAN connection is out of the question so it needs to be wireless. Can anyone recommend me some good adapters? My connection wired is roughly 120Mbps down and 11Mbps up, so I'd like for it to be as close to that as possible. My desktop is about 20-30ft. from my router. Here are some products I've found so far.

Also new egg fugged up and gave me a cash refund and credit refund for a dead CPU I sent back. How can I play it so that I don't have to give the money or credit back because they fugged it up and I deserve the free shit because of it?

I wrote in Bernie btw

Honestly, BF/CM deals are overrated because everyone and their dad shops then.

Buy computer now, use monies on cheapo games then

I got an old ladys computer to repair.
It's a fairly old computer that only even got to the windows loading screen 1 out of 10 boots.

I told her that it's dying of old age and that I can try to save as much data as possible from her hdd.

Here's the thing: when I insert the hdd into my computer and boot up my own windows I get one of those non-paged bluescreens with ntfs.sys as the error message.

This means that the ntfs filesystem is corrupted right?
Is booting into linux to run ntfsfix the right way of proceeding here?

>>57514968
>offer to fix someone's PC

Why

Is there an easy way (if there's a way at all) to access my files on my android phone via the network?

>>57514964
Newegg is not Amazon anon.
You are getting your money back and thats it.

>>57514968
Should've stayed in school man

>>57514996
I didn't offer it to her in the first place
My mom came in with her pc one day and told me to fix it because im the "tech guy"

>>57515008
What? They gave me double the money back to be clear. I bought a shitty Intel CPU that was bad for 133. So they gave me 133 back on my card and 133 in an online gift card kind of thing. So they gave me 266 worth of spending money for something I sent back that cost me 133.

>>57514968
Make a Linux USB, boot live from there, open it.

If she was using W 8.1 or 10 good luck with that.

Is it possible to run pre-compiled software on gentoo or do you have to compile everything yourself? Can you run anything on gentoo that would run on other linux distros?

>>57515034
it's running vista, dunno what that will change.
im creating an ubuntu usb right now.
thanks

>>57515053
>Is it possible to run pre-compiled software on gentoo
Yes

>>57513928
OK I followed the instructions and the commands, and it said everything was ok but all my data from my hard drive is still missing
I also ran a chkdsk on command prompt and it said nothing was wrong

>>57513510
Could be lots of stuff, run recuva or testdisk to recover the data.

The problem is why is it gone.
Post SMART data of your HDD.

>>57514843
Allright thanks I might try that try

this is what I get using crystal disk info
other drive is my ssd which is working fine
not sure what to do

>>57515193
How old was this HDD? because it seems its kill.
The dont buy seagate meme is a real thing.

It should report the SMART data, it doesnt.

Check that the SATA cable is correctly connected.

>>57515214
it is only 2~ months old

what are some reputable, non-biased, trustworthy tech hardware review sites?

>>57515102
Your options are a little bit more specific now. I would ensure the integrity of the partitions. GPT partition schemes will help with this, but if you already used chkdsk then I guess the partitions are ok. In that case it depends upon the file system you have on the partition with missing data and on a few other generic data recovery tools specific to your OS. I'm afraid that's pretty much all I know.

Any particular symptom or action that caused this?

This is odd, CDI says it's alright. It's been running for 703 days (1.9 years). It just whirred this one time when I booted up Killing Floor but it stopped as soon as I landed on the main menu. Should I still consider a new one?

And my car got broken in (smashed crystal), they accessed the trunk via folding back seats, and took my backpack. It was kn a busy street at downtown while I had coffee, so I wasn't directly targeted.
I completely forgot I had that backpack there, who knows, maybe they had a battery detector.

What's the recommended single board computer, that isn't the Raspberry Pi?

Want it as a file server, but the RPi has a gimped USB and network connection.

>>57515731

the one you mentioned is the go to because all the software already designed for it

Western Digital has treated me well.

Ever since I installed my new GPU (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131673), I get random crashes where my entire screen (just my main moniter, not the 2nd moniter) turns green, sound loops/have to reset. But when I've gone and tried to find the cause, I just find people saying "it could be one of these 8 things" which doesn't help much. Yal know what this is?

Eh, they always do. Are there any communities I can find that are for lightweight Linux desktops?

>>57515649
I've been using Sid for many years (not testing) for my desktop. But you will run into problems occasionally, especially if you try Testing or Unstable on heavier desktops. Check Debian DOSE tools before upgrading, and make backups of /home and /boot every once in a while.

There's also #debian-next support on OFTC IRC.

What are the things I should not put on my SSD if I want to maximize its lifespan? What are the things I should put on it to maximize its effectiveness?

>>57515862
Defrag the SSD at least once a week to keep it clean and healthy

>>57515462
is it possible that I ran a chkdsk on my ssd instead of my hdd?
my ssd is my C folder

>>57515862
Which SSD?

This days you dont have to take care of any of that since they will last a lot for it to be affected.

>>57507126
All my laptop chargers have done that, don't worry.

Where on 4chan can I find posts of traps wearing stockings?

Do not ever defrag your SSD, it's not good for the drive

>>57515862
Don't fall for the hype. SSDs will usually last just as long, if not longer than most HDDs. DigitalOcean even runs their servers ONLY on SSDs.

>>57515862
Stuff is for using. An unused SSD might as well not exist. Put on it what you want to access fast, but remember, load screens are comfy.

Are trace/low (non-hazardous unless ingested) levels of radiation bad for typical desktop computer components, flash drives, monitors, or the like?

A-Asking for a friend.

>>57516092
Yeah, your computer shouldn't be radioactive. Are you sure you're not just picking up background radiation or is the computer/parts definitely the source?

>>57516092
What do you have there?

>>57516092
Just about everything in RL can have trace/low levels of radiation. it part of nature and how electrons/atoms move.

Could also be a cheap G-M counter. Which brand are you using to measure, and what are your readings?

So now that Shadowplay is dead and even if I accepted nvidias jew tactics their new "share" thing is a worthless sack of shit - what can I use with hopefully just as little performance impact to do the same 'shadow recording' thing?
I googled around for OBS but its a whole clusterfuck where half the options are missing from new versions.

>>57516200
Something like OBS or pure ffmpeg recording has the least overhead, so I've heard.

But I don't know anything that can replicate "shadow recording". Sorry.

Is there any way to use a GTX card AND a radeon HD card at the same time? Decoding? using one as a dedicated PhysX card or something like that?

>>57515889
Yes it is. You could try changing to the disk directory for the hdd or find a different tool to do the chkdsk. Personally I like the linux ones as they allow you to graphically choose which disk and run the check on it. Unfortunately I'm gathering you're on windows so I don't know if that helps you.

>>57515922
it's a bit of an older one, a Samsung pro 840. I heard they can take some abuse.

>>57516376
Yours is exactly a gen old since you can stop caring.
Still will last you a lot so dont worry about stuff like that.

>>57515948
Ubuntu and Mint, any flavor I try. I've looked at other keyboard layouts, but they don't even come close to what I actually have (the same keyboard layout everyone in America has).
