/SQT/ - Stupid Question Thread

so far I've installed linux on my computer and hosted a custom rom on my phone. Beyond that I don't know where to go for taking control of the technology I own.

Is there really anywhere to start, books or articles to read? Is it important to learn a programming language? Is there a specific program languages I should learn first?

>>57626904
What do you mean by taking control of the technology you own?

Yes, the best book would probably be the one about your operating system, probably not, I couldn't tell you, but Java is okay.

What's the best dock to use for Linux?

Honestly, the best way to do it is to just get familiar with your own software. So in your case, finding some documentation on your operating system/ROM.

If you're looking to rice, experience is the best teacher. It took me multiple tries to properly rice my phone.

I have a problem.
Have a CPU with stock cooler you see.
And it's always at between 58 and 72 degrees celsius.
Even at 20% it's still around 60.
Then I can be at 99% load for hours and it's still under 75 degrees.

Is this a problem?

I was looking at the raspberry pi zero and noticed that the 1.3 revision has a MIPI port on it.
If what I'm looking at is correct, it has "2 lanes" but I really can't find out what the limitations of 2 lanes would be. What would be the max resolution out to a screen?

>>57627300
No.

Once it starts hitting 90 degrees Celsius does it start being a problem. You'll be having shutdowns once you hit about 100 degrees.

Is Chrome really that bad of a botnet?

I've tried Brave, Waterfox, Firefox, Icecat, Pale Moon, Chromium and they're all frankly inferior even if Chrome is a resource whore. I'm on the verge of just installing it again but I still feel guilty using Chrome knowing someone or something is watching all the time. I uderstand no one cares about my hentai and cartoon horses forums and that in all probability I'll never have any consequence for using it but it still feels bad. Pls help.

got a new notebook and it's probably coming with win10. i've taken a look at the wiki but i still feel like asking what the best windows version is currently, especially in terms of keeping my privacy, even if it comes at the cost of neat stuff like Cortana.

the wiki pointed towards win7 but is it still gonna get updates for a while or is gonna be left behind? what about 8, how does it compare to 7 and 10?

also, considering it's brand-new, should i just format/wipe it and install whichever version i pick?

(yes i also posted this on the other sqt because i have no idea which one is the current one)

I want to downgrade Windows 10 from 64bit to 32bit on a laptop with a pre-installed OEM license.

Can this be done?

I have an fx 8320 with a shitty motherboard and saw this ad online that has an i3 6100+msi b150m bazooka micro atx lga1151 motherboard for 130$ i also need to get new ram so i thought of getting 16GB RAM with price match =$77,which will cost me about $200. I am also thinking about overcloking the i3 to 4.2 GHz if it will let me. Is the i3 6100 worth the purchasr to upgrade?

>>57628842
are you literally running a 60gb hard drive

Is there a way to get the dialer in Android to play the phone tones when you dial? Alternatively is there an app that just simulates dialtones?
If I want to go a step further, how would I go about making a very simple apk that just shows a dialpad and will play the tones when I press the buttons? The easy way would be to have an audio sample of the tones for each button but I think it would be interesting to set it up like an actual dialer, where each button plays two tones depending on the x/y location on the dialpad, and instead of samples it generates the actual tones. Pretty simple, but what are some resources I could use to figure out how to do this? I know bits and pieces of different languages but aren't particularly fluent in any and always rely on references and figure it out as I go.

Is it normal for cheap SSDs to make noises

>>57628855
>are you literally running a 60gb hard drive

I am.

>>57628872
Anon. We need to talk about your hard drives.

>>57628870
Probably not the SSD making the noise.

>>57628886
Well I switched out the HDD to an SSD and there is a new noise when the "hard drive activity light flashes.

Maybe I just never noticed it over the sound of the HDD, but its annoying as fuck

>>57628872
chink shit ssd's are like 40€ and give you more space than that, and a 500 gb hdd goes for under 50€ these days - probably a lot less if you shop around for deals and don't live in fuck hell

>>57628870
it is physically impossible for a ssd to make noise unless you're banging it against something

>>57628903
congrats, you can hear electricity, enjoy. I highly recommend also listening to dimmed lights and power bricks

>>57629002
lol? you won't void the warranty if you reinstall the os, even the shittiest random store's warranty policy won't void from that.
not to even mention unless there's actually a 'warranty void if broken' sticker on the bottom of the laptop they'll have no idea if you've touched it. I've cracked apart most of my laptops a few months after getting them to see what's inside

>>57629035
hidden folders are a thing, if you want to see them find folder settings and enable 'show hidden files and folders'. you really don't need to do that though and probably shouldn't touch them

>>57629053
But I've already got 'show hidden folders' enabled.

>>57629053
windows doesn't count hidden folders even though they're under the folder you selected?

Any chance this will end up to 200$-300$? Currently have fx 8320 and 7870 2 gb

>>57629094
hmm. seems normal, mine is showing up as 38 and 46 respectively as well. yours is quite a big gap

>>57629116
this is a possibility and probably the most likely answer, since I can't really think of anything else

>>57629094
>>57629119
according to spacesniffer, 46 is the correct value. probably hidden files or folders nested deeper, I'd wager on most of it being appdata. you might also have some temp folders or waiting updates or something similar that hasn't been wiped, making the gap even bigger

I have a bunch of external hard drives that I don't want to always have connected and would like to know what's in them, such as a list of folders and the files they contain that could be browsed in something similar to windows explorer.

My 6yo desktop has this problem for the last couple of years. When ever ireboot the monitor shows "no signal". Already tried a fresh OS install, removing my OC, setting bios back to defaults, different GPUs and different monitors. Weird because it only happens when ireboot and not from a cold boot. Halp?

I'm looking to upgrade my Galaxy S4 but I like the look of android kit kat; are there mods for an s7 to keep this look or are there other/better phones out there that have a similar theme?

I'm looking to at least have the black background + white text for settings/notification menus and to not have icons in material design

Can someone post the paste infographic?

Im not sure if buy NT-H1 or MX-4.

4g is a lot of paste right? im talking about multiple uses (10-15 uses).

What are some alternatives to Isopropyl alcohol?
I assume Noctua NT-H1 is good paste, and its cheaper than arctic silver 5 here.

Should i buy
>Arctic Silver Arcticlean Thermal Cooling Material Remover and Surface Purifier
Instead the alcohol to avoid problems?

Its to repaste laptops.

Looking to buy my first "Gaming" build. Budget is in the 400-600 dollaroos section excluding monitor.
Most of the vidya Ill be (hoping) to play will be Titanfall 2, WoW, Overwatch, Bf1 and other normiecore shit like that. Can anons help me choose which of these would be a better bang for my buck. Pls dont suggest to build my own I just want to buy, plug and play.

>AMD Radeon RX 460 2 GB
>8 GB DDR3 1600

How big is that near 100$ difference? Please spoonfeed me

Neither.
Build your own, should be way cheaper.
Those builds you see go for $300 but thet are sold for $470 and $550.

Also those dont even are close to the minimum requeriments of titanfall and BF1.

GT cards dont are gaming cards.
AMD CPUs are bad for gaming.
RX460 is a low end GPU.

With $500 you can get a GTX 1050Ti, a locked I5 and a B150 motherboard with a good PSU that will reach mid settings in recent intensive games and leave you space if you ever want to upgrade to a good videocard later on.

What do you mean by a locked i5? don't most intel come with integrated graphics? Like the skylake shit?

>>57640745
Locked I5 as in you cant overclock it but its not a problem.
Unlocked I5 let you overclock it to make it faster but you need to spend more on a Z170 motherboard to be able to overclock (And are more expensive than B150 motherboards), also more money on a heatsink.

Since you dont even want to build a PC i dont think you are into overclocking, a I5-6400 or 6500 with a simple B150 motherboard would be enough for you.

EE or CS?
I initially wanted to go into CS because of muh freedoms of creating stuff and being able to create with next to nothing. That being said I mainly liked it because of the entrepenural potential. But lately I've come to realise that actually working as a programer might not be that fun. Should I learn to program and do EE at uni or just go CS?

>>57640892
Its not that hard to understand.

Other than CPUs and their motherboards everything is compatible with everything.
Some exceptions may be cases with motherboard sizes and weak PSUs in computers that need lots of energy.

But shouldnt be a problem.

There is a build thread if you need more help or some questions.

why does every tab in Nightly crash when a single one fails to load?

i simply don't understand. i know tabs taking a sec to load when accessed is to save memory, which i need else the browser becomes unuseable once kept open for a while anyway, but i hate how this happens. I know Firefox is really behind the other browsers nowadays but that is not my question. thank you

>>57640978
use brave browser

>>57640893
CS only to do research work, work with IA or something interesting.

Most idiots don't realize they are doing an interesting career to end up working as a Java programmer or some other boring shit.

For common jobs you should do Software Engineering instead.

Or do EE if you have better taste.

Hey thanks. I was checking hits on it on the archive since I'm a lazy fuck and I trust you guys better than what anyone says of themselves, and someone mentioned they have a mobile browser. As long as the scrolling on that isn't limiting shite like it is in Firefox, I'm using that instead of Chrome mobile for sure. Cheers.

I'm gonna try the desktop version of brave as soon as Nightly eats all my active tabs again, which will doubtlessly happen eventually. thanks. I just wasn't expecting to switch browsers since I don't want Chrome spying on me, and the others didn't seem like they actually existed desu. but that's what no marketshare does, and it's not valid criticism...

I want another monitor for games and stuff, it's almost black friday, what kind of deals should I look for?

>>57640987
Yeah that's kinda what I've realised but the most appealing to me "within" CS is embedded systems. Wich is a path you could take if you do EE aswell.

It's just Intel onboard, does it make a difference? like are onboard graphics more prone to issues/dying? I've always had some graphical issues since I've had this thing, it's just shy of a year old

>>57641385
Your graphics card is overheating or damaged.
Its not a software issue but a hardware one.

If you are using a IGPU pray it is a software one.

>>57641502
IGPUs rarely get damaged, but laptop dedicated graphic cards get damaged easy because they overheat.

>>57641502
>>57641537
Also reinstall the intel IGPU drivers, might fix it.

>>57641537
I feel like it might've been a manufacturer's error; like I said i've had issues with this for quite a while, i did a full restore a while back and that fixed earlier issues like the graphics drivers crashing upon hitting the windows menu. I might try extending my warranty and seeing if they'll take care of it, but I doubt it if it's a hardware issue.

>>57641486
make a condition to change your while clause false. break is mostly for sudden interruption of a continuing iteration

sort of, after user inputs the data the program should display a math equation and then stop. if it doesn't have a proper input.

I guess using a different class would absolutely work better. thanks

>>57641694
no need for a new class, just make sure your while clause can change. you can have a variable for this

boolean doIStillGoOn = true;
while (doIStillGoOn) {
// scanner and logic stuff
doIStillGoOn = false;
//else conditions, your variable should remain true here
}

A better coding practice is to make sure this valid data check goes first before your printing:

((num1==0)||(num2==0)||operator=='/')

After my Lubuntu live USB corrupted on me for literally the dozenth time (different USBs; only happens after upgrade/package installation, so I'm blaming the OS), I'm looking at Puppy Linux. There are a ton of them, though, and I'm a little over my head. What distro does /sqt/ recommend?

Please tell me how I can improve my internet connection.

It's actually much worse than this, I'm literally waiting hours to download 200~mb files, more than that if others in the household are on as well. I go on twitch, damn stream will barely even load, much less buffer.

Asked my ISP if we could upgrade, they said that we have the best service they can provide for our area.

I think the problem is that the wiring to our house is copper instead of something newer like fiberoptics. That would cost a shitonne (likely thousands of dollars) to replace where we live.

So what can I do? I don't think there are any ISPs in my area that'll do better. Satellite is out: Believe it or not, our current connection is a definite improvement over Hughesnet.

So, I have been learning ing C++ for a while, and for fun/practice, I'd like to write a relatively simple console application that could have some sort of practical use. So far, I've learned things such as how to use different data structures, classes, fstream, the simple stuff. The question is, are there any ideas? Other things I've made for a class (my senior year of high school, I've been taking programming classes for three years, they're pretty slow paced, though) is a console application that simulates the card game War, a version of the game battleship using ASCII characters, and and a program that solves the quadratic formula for you, showing you step by step in an html file.

Anyone here familiar with the game of life willing to help me figure out why my program isn't working properly?

I know that it's just something wrong with my 'rules', since it seems to work relatively fine, and is a fully functioning cellular automata, but I'm familiar enough with Conway's Life to know that the rules aren't right, because the normal structures aren't showing up from a randomly generated array.

This is the my calculation function:

def calcStep():
    global listNew
    i = 0

    while i < 100 :
        z = 0
        while z < 100 :            
                 
            if(    listFull[i-1][z-1] + listFull[i-1][z  ] + listFull[i-1][z+1]
                 + listFull[i  ][z-1] +                      listFull[i  ][z+1]
                 + listFull[i+1][z-1] + listFull[i+1][z  ] + listFull[i+1][z+1]) == 2 and listFull[i][z] == 1:
                
                 listNew[i][z] = 1
                 
            elif(  listFull[i-1][z-1] + listFull[i-1][z  ] + listFull[i-1][z+1]
                 + listFull[i  ][z-1] +                      listFull[i  ][z+1]
                 + listFull[i+1][z-1] + listFull[i+1][z  ] + listFull[i+1][z+1]) == 3 and listFull[i][z] == 1:
                
                 listNew[i][z] = 1
                 
            elif(  listFull[i-1][z-1] + listFull[i-1][z  ] + listFull[i-1][z+1]
                 + listFull[i  ][z-1] +                      listFull[i  ][z+1]
                 + listFull[i+1][z-1] + listFull[i+1][z  ] + listFull[i+1][z+1]) == 3 and listFull[i][z] == 0:
                
                 listNew[i][z] = 1

            else:
                 listNew[i][z]= 0
                 
            z += 1
        i += 1

essentially I'm just looking at every cell around my target cell ([i][z]) and figuring out if it lives, dies, or is born.

The behavior I'm getting is not Conway. It is interesting in it's own way, but not what I want.

I have a condenser mic and I noticed when my heater is on the microphone is really clear besides the obvious heater noise. But when I turn it off, this much louder white noise starts in the background of the mic, which is even louder than the actual heater being on. Its actually much quieter in the room when the heater is off but its much louder in the mic. Is there some sort of electrical problem going on here?

I am not storage expert and there are far more experienced users here, so their comment will mean much more than mine and I hope they reply. But if they don't, I don't want your comment to go unanswered

But there is absolutely no problem with switching it on and off a couple of times per day.

to my knowledge, NAS Hard drives have custom firmware that is tuned for being crammed into a tight NAS device and running 24/7, so it means antivibration technologies and shit.

TL;DR: Man asks if I know how to install songs onto his ipod shuffle, I say yes, I now have two ipod shuffles and neither will appear on my computer or itunes.

Also I tried two different usb connectors, neither work.

I cannot install drivers because of an error that apparently can only be fixed with the installation of drivers. Anybody know how to fix my computer giving me code 10's on ipod shuffles?

With that out of the way I feel like the the time upgrade is soon.

Should I hold out for Intel's Cannonlake and Nvidia's Vega chips and just focus on expanding my storage (like grabing some 960GB/1TB SSDs or would Kaby Lake and & 1080Ti be a worthwhile upgrade?

I don't typically upgrade often, before I had this system I back in 2012 (GPU was a GTX 680 then)

I was using an old Phenom II X3 cpu with a Radeon 5870 and really felt the upgrade when I finally moved to Intel/Nvidia

In airplane mode and with no sim card can cell phones still send/receive wireless data in the background?

>TIME TO UPGRADE
Get a new case and throw some more LED's in it to satiate your desire to upgrade.

Is there anything wrong with using 2400mhz RAM on a motherboard that only supports up to 2133mhz? Will the RAM still work fine, just it will run at 2133mhz?

Also what's better and why? 1x8gb stick of RAM or 2x4gb?

>>57644884
I really like this case as it's very quiet and well doesn't stand out so much. I honestly can't stand LEDs.


I guess buying more storage will be the best option for now then?

The idea of even upgrading my CPU/GPU system only came to me due to how 4k Monitors are starting to be affordable and I felt that my current cpu would probably bottleneck the Vega GPUs by the time their released

It varies too greatly from market to market and how far you live from a hub.

Where I live the fastest tier for Verizon DSL was 12 down 1 up and you had to live really close to a hub for that service.

Depends what you consider beefy. A pentium D 2.4ghz is going to choke on anything 4k. A modern i3 or i5 should be fine though.

Why would you bother streaming in 4k? You know it's all buzword bullshit, im confident in double blind you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between 1080p and 4k streams on a 4k monitor. Or you'd even say the 1080p one looks better because of the higher bitrate. The bandwidth required for native 4k streams, or even very good bitrate 4k streams, is much higher then most homes in america can match. If you are the 1% that can download a 50gb blueray rip in less then 2 hours, you're the exception.

HD in high bitrate will be indistinguishable from 4k in medium to low bitrate. Im sure netflix is not going to stream high bitrate 4k if next to none of their target audience is able to stream it without buffering every 20 seconds.

I bet if you're asking this question you don't even have a 4k monitor, in which case even good 4k would only look slightly better assuming netflix is using a decent bitrate for it.

I have an S524 right now on my cpu (this is me >>57644931) and my current case (core v1) just does not fit my hardware right now because there is no good place to stick the rad for the fury x and so air flow is all fucked up.

I'm looking for a new case and/or cpu cooler.

The Rajintek Metis looks nice but it may be an even tighter squeeze. The one benefit is that it actually has a place for a 120mm rad unlike my current case (which supposedly can fit a 240mm rad but with the shape of the fury x cooler and the location required, it does not)

So I'm trying to make a webm of a section of video, but including the subtitles. This time for some reason the subtitles aren't showing up when I cut the video.

Usually I'm using WebmForRetards, but since I'm on my laptop which runs XP for unrelated reasons I just use VSDC Video Editor to cut the video then use a prewritten script for ffmpeg to automatically tailor video files into 4chan friendly Webms. Every time previously the subtitles have been in though so I'm not sure what's going on. Help?

Building a gaming pc on a budget, so I'm looking at a GTX 1070. Only, there seems to be about a billion and a half different versions. Which do I get? I know fuck all about computers.

So I've been programming in MiPSR3000 for a month now, it's the architecture that's used for the original Playstation.

What would the modern day equivalent language be for this? Because I'd never done programming of any sort before, obviously this is low-level but I find it quite easy now, I'm curious how much extra work it'd take before I could understand stuff that'd make me money.

tl;dr: What's the final evolution of MiPS r3000?

How can I detect aspect ratio on a devide using JS?
I want it so that if the ratio is less than 1:1, a button will be displayed. (I.e., if the screen is taller than it is wide.)

Its main purpose would be for showing a button to mobile users, but not desktop users. Is there a simple solution for this?

I considered that I may have to catch the resolution, split it and store it as two variables, then do a simple division and then if the quotient is less than 1, I could display the button, but that sounds tricky since I'm bad at JS. Any help appreciated!

>>57646787
Go to your CSS and use your @media queries to help scale what is displayed on your page and what's not. So for example if the device is 400 x 700 or some shit, then set the display property to show it, but only if it's less than that size. Then that eliminates the worry of having to make 2 variables for it, and it controls that button being seen strictly in the mobile view and not desktop.
