/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

I got a little heated on the phone with an Amazon support rep and wound up screaming at him aggressively until I made him cry. Now that I've had time to calm down I feel really bad about it. Is there any way I can get them to connect me to the same guy again so I can apologize?

I'm trying to install a Gigabyte z170xp-sli into a Fractal Design R5, but the motherboard has only 6 standoff holes that match the ATX standoffs on the case and a lone extra standoff hole on the center right side that doesn't seem to match up with the case's ATX standoffs. Am I supposed to leave that extra standoff on the motherboard unscrewed?

When you say restart router, you mean just turning it on and off again, or do you mean resetting/reflashing it with new firmware?

HELP ON THIS PLEASE?

I need a student laptop for about 300$ and preferably under 3lbs. (i already own a T420 and that's heavy as fuck)

>>57707107

Does your PC have any malware? Have you checked? Do you use a VPN? Where do live/what is your ISP? Who is your phone carrier? So many things are affected, since it spans so many of your devices, I'm trying to figure out what is going on.

Could someone post a picture of the behind of a 1TB WD Blue?

>>57707037
Yes.

>>57707145
I'll chech with malwarebytes now. I didn't had any protection other than the built in, because i was using Linux mainly before starting to play WoW again.
No VPN, i tried once but i'm too stupid to set it up.

My sister has a ASUS Transformer Book T100HA. It was ok, and as a student laptop for taking notes or doing basic work in office, it suits her fine. From what I can tell, her experience with it was generally positive. But I don't think it is anywhere near as powerful as a T420.

>>57707418
Let's focus on one thing at a time. It might not hurt to power down your phone, and work through your PC.

If you are 100% certain your PC is clean now, you can potentially try resetting to factory settings on your router one more time and seeing what happens.

Getting into functional programming recently. Seeing a lot of people encouraging currying and only one input per function.

Do I need to worry about this for thread constructors?

I mean in theory the class could have it's values preset, but that clashes with OOP a lot.

For a .net server for example, is it okay to say pass in the server ip address and port number, or would that to be too inelegant?

Is the 1070 that much better than a 1060?

>>57707512

I would, but I have zero experience with ncmpcpp. I see some config thread from 2009, and it seems they are similar, but are you wanting it to just show a little terminal with the name of the new song and then disappear? I see configs talking about putting the current song title in bold.

>>57707464
The phone is now disconnected from wlan to prevent eventual spreading. Win and Linux are on different SSDs, so no problem with individual resets.

I appreciate your and the other anon's support. THANKS!

On a sidenote: win seems still to be clean.
I'll check back tomorrow just to be sure my router isn't infected, but for now i think that it was the redirect alert shit.
Seriously, one time not rooted and using adaway this shit happens. Spread the word for root + adaway and uBlock Origin.

Stupid question: Do we have a site that benchmarks relative performance of the 950 pro versus the upcoming 960 evo and go into detail on which workloads can cause the evo to fill its write cache? From what I can tell the 960 evo beats the 950 pro for the first 13GB until the cache fills and then it turns into a piece of garbage that can be outpaces by last year's budget SSDs.

Am I being stupid for not trusting Samsung about cache sizes or am I being stupid by considering buying last years tech when the new releases are only 2 weeks away?

>>57707555
Yes.

>>57707592

So, does that mean you are going to bed? Or have you had any progress with testing https?

>>57707604

Clarifying: I trust them that the cache size is what they say. I'm just clueless if it's large enough to not get constantly filled in real-world usage. I'm leaning towards the 960 though since it's a little cheaper at each capacity and I'm probably buying the 250/256 or 500/512GB model.

>>57707623
I've tested it successful on win7, after the removal of the infected files.

Android an Linux still are borked, but i'll wait until tomorrow to fix them, just to be (kinda) sure it's not the router itself.

>>57707656

Alright. So are you going to reset the router to factory settings now then?

I recently got a security camera that comes with a DVR and a camera. The DVR has a hard drive and comes with HDMI and VGA ports. I can plug either into one of my computer monitors.

If I want a standalone monitor for the camera for convenience (without having to remove cables from my computer monitor) what exactly should I be looking for? I really don't want to spend a lot of money on it and want something sub- 15 inches. Computer monitors don't seem to go lower than that. What should I be looking for?

>>57707662
Nah, not yet.
If i have to do it, sure, right now i'm positive it spread from Android through the wlan connection. I'm pretty confident the router itself is clean, but i want to make sure by giving it some time.

>>57706898

I did some searching around and I found this:

https://ncoop.github.io/2016/07/31/sending-notifications-with-ncmpcpp

Seems up your alley.

Can't turn phone off without taking the battery, it comes back on. I already factory reseted but it keeps doing the same. Even if i take the battery off, when i put it back the phone turns on automatically. Its a Galaxy JS1.I looked around on google but didn't find anything useful. Anybody has any clue?

>>57707700

Ok, so current testing of the PC, is the HTTPS still screwing up?

And for sure the PC is synced to the proper time using this server:

pool.ntp.org

Right?

>>57707743
Right now, it's working as untended. And yep, synced in time by ntp.
Android and Linux on the other hand still had issues. My phone is dc'd from wlan for protection of my PC until reflashed again.

>>57707793

I did the thermal pad mod to my EVGA 1080 SC yesterday. I'm getting the same if not cooler temperatures on the core (irrelevant to the pads mostly).

Since that's true is it safe to say I did the thermal paste correctly?

>>57707873
Yes. Tough i don't sideload apps from apksites. I'm pretty sure it was the redirect which vibrates your phone and states you have x infected files.

I was testing the 7.0 OmniROM build for angler and this time i DID NOT root/install adaway, so i guess it's safer regarding this.

How was the saying again? Ah! "With great power..something responsibility"

i have a domain name and a free web host (i might upgrade later) that offers MySQL database and supposedly unlimited storage.
I just want a database, ~10GB, accessible remotely through the internet. do i just migrate the db to the website through my cpanel? do i need a local machine with the db, acting as a server? is it safe to have a db listening to all connections from the mysql ports? stackoverflow claims it is a security issue, even with authentication.
I wouldnt normally bother wdg/ with questions like this but, I dont know how to look for these answers. maybe one of you can direct me to a guide?

>>57707929
>I'm pretty sure it was the redirect which vibrates your phone and states you have x infected files.

Ah those. I get those from time to time thanks to 4chan's new advertisements. So far, I haven't had any issues, but I'll be more cautious.

Alright man, well you have a good night/morning then. I wish you the best of luck cleaning out everything.

Yeah unfortunately, given the fact that this is a laptop, when it comes to upgrading, apart from maybe swapping out the disk or adding additional RAM, you are stuck. You will have to buy a new laptop with new specs whenever you feel like your current one isn't up to the task. Though I can guarantee you that the first thing that will bottleneck you won't be the RAM speed. It will be your processing power.

There are a few not marketed as a pi monitor, if you browse through Amazon and choose the under 16 inches filter for monitors, but it seems that the demand for these size monitors come from the pi. From the looks though, they are just monitors regardless, so it being marketed as a pi monitor shouldn't have an impact on connecting it to your HDMI setup.

What is currently the best music streaming service? Particularly in terms of free account options and for use on a desktop computer (not smartphone app).

I just started using KeePass and I've noticed almost every time that I have it open my processor will either be fluctuating from 20% to 85% usage, or in some cases maxing out at a full 100%.

I'm not using it to generate anything or actively encrypt anything. It's just open, and I'm pulling information from less secure sources and entering stuff in fields.

Why would this be happening? What can I do to stop this?

For the record: I've owned an internal Seagate, an internal HGST, and several external WDs. The latter all still work great, my HGST has made worrying grinding noises not long after installation, and my Seagate lasted me about 4-5 years before slowing down and dying.

Because of all this I've been looking at WD internals, but if Segate has improved a lot in recent years they might be better to look into.

It's $40. I've already spent money on several expenses lately and don't have a lot to budget out considering future expenses. I don't want to be left with scraps in my wallet just to get software that doesn't even have solid compatibility with software I already own.

In addition, as far as I am aware, you are only allotted two downloads of it, and I don't want to have issues with usage of it in the future if I need to reinstall it on a fresh OS install, as I had to do recently. I might be incorrect in regards to the "only two downloads" deal, though.

How do you make mpv screenshots save in the same place as the file?

So I found an IBM floppy reader buried under a pile of other junk in my closet, which is pretty cool as I have a bunch of floppies stashed somewhere with no knowledge what's on them. But I've never seen a connector of this kind. Can anyone help me identify it so I can buy an adequate whateverthisis-to-usb convertor?

>>57718655
theres nothing on your old flopies
they are unreadable after years passed

Can someone explain to me how in the freaking hell I get 3.1MiB/s when downloading torrent shit and still get around 800 KiB/s when transferring files between computers in my LAN? They are both on connected via WIFI, and yes I looked things up and everything leads to WIFI getting noise, the distance being too far, or walls in between messing things up, but still this shit doesn't make sense. I get 3MiB/s downloading, shouldn't I get 800KiB/s if any of these were the reasons for my LAN speed?

>>57718379
doubt this claim
though possible, highly unlikely as one would even encounter the term Arch linux before ubuntu, fedora, mint, debian, opensuse,...

I'm going to change my VGA LCD monitor for and HDMI one soon since it got a thick pillar of splodges and discolored pixels.

I feel like the quality in this one was already pretty crisp at 1080p. What kind of changes can I expect when switching to HDMI?
I know it's probably a retarded question, pls no bully.

>>57718683
I still want to know what the hell is that port called. Someone told me it's some kind of IBM's own port or something and that some of their old IBM laptops did in fact have that port. Yet nobody ever told me its name or code or anything else I could look it up by.

>>57718753
the connector is called B1-66ER male for all the good it does to you
but you can buy usb floppy if you really want

>>57717353
Pls respond

>>57718741
Unless your VGA connection was suboptimal (say, you were using a 20-foot-long VGA cable) it should look the same. The advantage of modern digital monitor standards is greater resistance to analog degradation and the ability to reach higher bandwidths - this latter thing being mostly noticed over the 1080p level. It also saves money on ADC hardware.

>>57718687
if the torrenting computer has a strong radio and good signal to the base station, but the other machine doesn't, you can see problems like this.

>>57717183
Go to Ikea and buy a Markus.

>>57717133
DVI can carry analog signals, if the video card provides them, this is how DVI-to-VGA adapters work. But I very much doubt you'll find a monitor with a DVI plug on it.

CRTs in general are getting very thin on the ground since they've been out of production so long.

>>57717029
check if those files already exist, if you launched it with sudo it might have created them, and created them under the user it was running at (root). So you might have config files owned by (and only readable by) root, and when you run it as yourself it can't read them.

>>57718778
Thanks but oddly enough I can't seem to find it on Google except some obscure Matrix reference.

I know I can buy a new floppy reader but I believe the one I have is fully functional so it'd feel like a money waste to throw it out and buy a new thing.

On Windows 7, how I do resize the start menu?

I Googled and they said to lower the number of "recent programs to display."
I did that, but the menu is the same size but now it just shows less programs and more empty space.

>inb4 thinkpad
thinkpads are good choice that I would recommend, but not expensive or used

but check Thinkpad E560
its thinkpad high quality keyboard, great mousepad, front firing speakers, intel wifi, easily added ram or replaced SSD, far better build quality than ideapads, basic asuses and acers..

quick check on subjects amazon you could get one for around 500 with fullHD and i7
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenovo-ThinkPad-2-5GHz-i7-6500U-1080pixels/dp/B01D4UC3N4/

drawbacks are not discrete GPUs, and that E570 is already announced, but not available

heres review of its pervious generation, 14" version

anyway, if you want gaming, then check also dell inspiron 5000 series, though I am not a fan of gaming notebooks

What do you mean by cool stuff? Our ideas of cool stuff might be different from yours. Buy a welding kit and make your own knuckle-duster; that would be pretty cool.

>>57719025
Great thanks for the suggestion. I had an old second hand thinkpad a while ago and really the hinge was completely busted by then. Also the styling of the old models (like the t420) are just rediculously chunky. Call me a normie but I can't lug those things around. Those reasons are why I'm not thinking about second hand thinkpads.

I'll look into the 560. Annoyingly british amazon is infested with unrated sellers selling suspiciously cheap devices. I'll have to look a bit more.

I am a total haskell noob and I'd like to know
what this hakell function does:

> f g (x:xs) (y:ys) = g x y:f g xs ys
> f g _ _ = [] 

How can I know what certain haskell functions do right off the bat?

Can I buy a psu from scan.co.uk and return it? Testing it in my rig to see if my coil whine goes away as I can hear coil whine only happens on csgo because 200+ fps

coil whine goes away I keep it, It doesn't I send it back for a refund

>>57719252
eu law allows to you refund anything you order online up to 2 weeks after receiving the item without any questions asked.

My computer fell on its side earlier. Not down, just on its side. Should I be worried at all? I'm posting on it right now.

>>57719266
even If I open the box and use it once?

>>57719322
no

>>57719323
yes, I returned two speakers like that
and a zowie mouse
but if you suspect psu then just buy reliable psu
is yours no brand of like 4+ years?
buy seasonic and never bother again until its 7 years old

>>57719361
It's a corsair

Should I be worried about that little dip in the beginning?

>>57719361
also thank you, you are the first ever person to answer my question on /g/, of about 5 different questions in my lifetime

>>57719465
TX?
CX?
RX?

some corsairs are seasonic made, some are basic shit
still if its not very old I would not suspect a corsair psu as a source of trouble, depending on the trouble...

>if the torrenting computer has a strong radio and good signal to the base station, but the other machine doesn't, you can see problems like this.
I thought this was the problem, but unfortunately it wasn't. I'm getting the same torrenting speed on both computers.
I just did a lan speed test and pic related is the result. I'm getting more upload speed than download. I sincerely don't know what's going on.

>>57719493
I am not the first guy who talked about two weeks return in online purchases
also you suck on /g/ then

Is there any board here where drone discussion happens?

I figured /g/ would be a suitable place and made a thread some days ago but as it turns out fucking noone here cares about drones.

I'm surprised there's not more enthusiasm around these things they're just really cheap (well some lower end ones) and really fun to goof around with

Is nobody able to help me at all?

yeah i figured, just don't normally use reddit. also prefer 4chan because it's anonymous and quicker. whelp, guess i'm off to plebbit
