Are Samsung phones 'inherently' better than for example cheap Xiaomi phones because they use better hardware and simply have more expensive build OR its because they're a brand?
I don't know why I still feel more confident paying $150 more for Samsung - or Sony.

I'm following a tutorial series on game dev, specifically on this episode at that timestamp.

https://youtu.be/kQ8w5SL5ItE?list=PLS9MbmO_ssyBAc9wBC85_WG9aT88KGxH8&t=157

In this section he is installing :Lua 5.2.4 I went to follow and install it, I've installed languages before and I know how to append the filepath and stuff but I've encountered what might be a problem.

At the beginning he is pretty insistant not to use 5.3 because many programs, including love2D don't support 5.3. However the link to "Download the latest version"
https://sourceforge.net/projects/luabinaries/files/5.2.4/
Downloads the version 5.3.3 binaries.

Is this fine? I assume the devs know what they are doing, did they add 5.1/5.2 support? Will this work with love2D?

>>57877930
Correction

I know Love2d runs its own version of Lua.

What I meant is will it be incompatible with the tutorial series*

I want to save thread space and post here.

I still live with my folks but otherwise I have a great job and transportation and what not. My main problem is somethings are still not within my control such as Internet. My younger brother essentially had a massive fight with my parents and my mother cut off the internet even though I need it for my own shit and to VPN to my work computer for whatever reason after hours. I thought about upgrading my cell data to unlimited but it won't let me hotspot my unlimited data to my PC or Laptop, it's capped when sharing.

Purchasing Internet isn't a problem, I need something that can be hidden from the family, especially my brother who abuses it. My parents don't really use the Internet so for them it's not an issue, they just want to curve my brothers usage but I got caught in collateral damage.

Any Raspberry Pi or clone thereof - they're a de facto standard, with many different SBCs being compatible with it's accessories.

If you want just a motherboard, though, you're SOL. Unless you don't think AMD64 counts.

>>57877158
That's fucking retarded.

>>57877370
You're fucked if you don't want to get an active adapter, as none of AMD's RX lineup have DVI-I.

Shit, even my monitor from the early 2000's is compatible with DVI-D, and unless you have a CRT that you want to hang on to, chances are it's time to upgrade.


Alright, one of my apps in Android doesn't work whenever I try to use it. Wat do?

>>57879543
use a real distro. manjaro is user friendly and a lot less sketchy than canonical. on site because if it were remote, you're already sitting there with the data unencrypted since it is mounted. however, if someone got your laptop, they couldn't even pull the keys from your swap space if you used luks for both root and swap. easiest to do it with lvm plus that way you only have to type the pw once at boot instead of twice

>>57880086
>manjaro is user friendly and a lot less sketchy than canonical
Funny - the other day, I was told not to use Manjaro because I'm new to Linux. The reasoning was that when Arch-based stuff breaks, you have to know what you're doing.

>that way you only have to type the pw once at boot instead of twice
What do you mean by this? Does one encryption option require me to type my computer password twice when I boot the distro?

>>57877892
Not really, but they have their benefits.

You won't encounter any glaring software bugs for the most part, hardware will behave like it's supposed to, and you'll get longer support.

Just enable the access list on your router and add only you and your parents.

Otherwise, use a third-party tethering app, or buy a cheap factory phone like a Moto E or something and enable the hotspot.

What do you mean by your brother abuses the Internet? Do you mean he takes up all the bandwidth? You can just buy a new router or use another one as a bridge if that's the case.

>>57878663
Why don't you just put the router in a document safe or strongbox and drill holes for the wires?

Disk encryption will only work when it's the only distro on the hard drive (it won't let you dual-boot on one drive).

As for a pros:

security (only when you fully shut down)

Cons:

someone could still do a "evil maid attack" and trick you into entering your encryption key in the infected decrypter boot section

You have to enter the key everytime you boot up

You have to fully shut-down everytime you go and take a piss to be sure no one could go after your files

----
Does it protect against remote snooping?
Depends on what you're using
On-site snooping?
Well.. No.. Always use https, if paranoid a good vpn paid with bitcoins that respects privacy
----
I would also suggest trying out ubuntu mate, that distro has been the most friendly towards me and I sticked around it, I heard linux mint is also very friendly (enable the dark theme, you'll love it)

>>57881247
It would've be the case with analog plugs, but not really, it's all digital with bits, 0's and 1's. Now for interference.. Well.. I don't think your cable it long enough to worry about that

>>57881283
300 into audio harware?
Hmm, yes, alright. The first things you'll want to look for is a good headphone, then a decent DAC (Digital to Analog Converter). If you can, get the fiio e10(k?)

Also, that 300 montly income will be spend on other things like snacks, food and doodads, save up!

>>57881369
Don't!

>>57881617
Unfortionally, yes

>>57881726
It will mostly work, unless the pirated game is using a different format or a compressed file system for saving space or a way around drm.

Mostly.. It had saved the save files to 3 locations

1: documents , either a own folder or in "Games"
2: appdata
3: install folder
Bonus: I had this with only 1 game, the steam app folder itself in a weird numbered folder

Can you change your Steam account name (not the nickname) somehow?

>>57881829
No you can't, I'm still cringing everytime I log in manually.

Pro tip, when using japanese characters in the nick name some games won't show your name in multiplayer, like call of duty modern warfare 3

That's all the help I can offer

Sometimes when I turn on my PC or wake it up from sleep the GPU fans rev all the way up to 100%. I can make it stop simply by putting it to sleep and turning it on again, and they work normally when the PC is on. This has happened maybe three or four times since I built the PC about 10 months ago. Card is a Sapphire R9 380X, drivers up to date, and the only software I have that's related to GPU fan control is MSI Afterburner.

What could be the cause of this?

Alright /g/ I just want a cut and dry distro to replace my win10 install on my laptop. I don't want to spend all day configuring shit just to get it working. All I use my laptop for is browsing and oldschool rs so I just want something that werks. Years ago I tried Mint, Ubuntu, Xubuntu and openSUSE but it seems like there's only even more drama and bullshit surrounding Linux since I last fucked around with it. Don't care if it's pleb tier or normie as fuck as long as it's not going to spy on me.

>>57881829
>>57881856
I feel you.

I've had this a couple of months ago and been googling around and there seems to be really no way (right now at least, but it doesn't seem to be a high priority item on Valve's todo list).

I have already deleted my battle.net account because of this (I wasted the one rename you have on fixing a typo in my cringe name lol), I had like almost $100 worth of games (mainly SC2 + all expansions and Diablo 3) on there, but my OCD got the best of me.

The situation with Steam is a little better since no one will see your account name other than yourself (or your friends if they're physically nearby). You can change the public name any time.

To be absolutely 100% safe there is only one way:
1. Wait for the Christmas sale
2. Note all your favorite games (realistically I don't play 95% of the stuff in my library anyway)
3. Create a new account and buy those games on sale

You can also use a steam skin which doesn't show your account name so you'll be safe even from your friends.

The previous times it happened were relatively long ago so the drivers were older ones, I'm not sure that would do anything

Give them another try. Today is not three years ago. Yeah, there's drama, but there's also been some positive improvements.

Also, it's trivial today to install to a live USB and try each one for a few hours or a few days and decide if the drama is still too much.

One successor to #! is https://www.bunsenlabs.org/

Look into it for a cut & dry distro.

It's a fun meme that's getting shit on around here, but Solus does have a number of good things going for it. If any of the above don't sound like your thing, it's a well-configured option, even if you might have to invest a little bit of time in it ... which you will have to do with any distro, no matter how cut & dry..

Savegames are located at documents and steamapps (mostly), check for each game, there are some utilities that can do it for you

As for progams.. I'm sorry for you. Probally not. Look online, some you could transfer.

Look for a tool called ninite to make the transfer less of a pain

It looks like my GPU is slowly dying. No artifacting yet but I'm experiencing some serious frame drops that are propably caused by overheating (fans are on 100%). Also: now and again I get no signal on my monitor. Rebooting helps for now.

Is it possible to implement Genetic Algorithms in C (even the most simple one)? I'm new to programming and I've been reading about them and how to implement them in programs, and they don't seem really complicated, but every tutorial I've read uses either Java or C++. Are they at all possible in C, or is it just for Object-Oriented Languages?

Nah, just general computer architecture. The exact wording of the question is:
Describe the function and the implementation of a piece of hardware

Is there anything like the falcon's guide still around but updated? Haven't had to look at any build guides in a few years but I've got a friend who wants to build and rather than linking him a bunch of parts I'd rather just send him something like that.

>>57883977

>>57883251
Of course you do it in C. Instead of classes use structs, instead of methods use functions with pointers to said structs.

/g/, what can I use to clone a hard drive while preserving partitions and shit? I have a brand new M.2 NVMe drive and Windows 7 can detect it just fine, but when I actually boot from a USB, it can't find the drive. I slipstreamed in the hotfix that lets Windows read NVMe drives but it didn't work. I've temporarily installed onto a 1TB HDD so I figure there's probably some way to just clone this onto the other drive right?

>>57884113
I have no idea. That's all the question asks, no more information than that.

>>57884135
>>57884113
And actually I got the question wrong.
The actual question is:
Describe the difference between the function and the implementation of a piece of hardware.
My bad.

Let's say I have a video of 150MB on OneDrive.
Let's also say that I want to upload this video to YouTube, Facebook or anywhere else.
Let's also assume my upload speed is so low that this would take nearly 6 hours.

Is it possible to somehow upload the video to said social media directly from OneDrive servers without involving my own home network? Using a link? Redirecting the request to OneDrive somehow? Anything?
I have limited insight in this sort of stuff.

>>57884149
So what he means is to differentiate the function of hardware from its implementation?

>>57884149
Function:
What the piece of hardware does, its use-case.

Implementation:

This can mean two things for me:

- Implementing the idea:
+ "We need a chip that converts digital sound to analog sound"
= Creating or "designing" hardware.
- Implementing the hardware withing a system
+ Writing device drivers and firmware
= Making software that makes the device work, and work with the rest of the system.

>>57884161
This depends on the platforms...
I believe you can deploy from Google Drive to YouTube.
For the others it probably all depend on the platforms.
But once its on youtube you can share it everywhere right?

How can I reduce the space on my phone's internal storage? It's at 90% right now and after going through every readable folder, I can't see where all this space is being taken.

I'm starting my CS course next year (if I get accepted) and I'm thinking about which laptop should I get for classes.

I want to buy an old Thinkpad, but I'm not sure if the hardware will suit my needs. Still, I really like the keyboard.

Another problem with old Thinkpads: their battery is usually shitty, and finding a new one in my country is probably impossible. Importing is also not an option, as I would have to pay heavy taxes.

What should I do, /g/?

>>57884311
Battery can be important but it really depends on the infrastructure.
My college had power plugs everywhere (1 or 2 for every desk in classrooms) so many students always plugged in their laptop.

They might give you system requirements for the CS course, I don't see a reason why you would need a powerful machine.
Maybe if you use many VM's, but many places use cloud nowadays and you can basically follow the course on a chromebook.

I've been relying on handwritten directions from google, as well as my memory for all of these years.
I recently drove a rental that had a GPS and now I want to buy a vehicular tracking device.

Can somebody explain to me how these work? What I mean by that is, is there a specific brand I should look for or avoid, do I have to pay a rolling subscription free, etc

Ideally, I'd like to buy one and then never have to replace it

>>57884393
They probably have the infrastructure, but I'm unsure if there are sufficient power plugs.

My uni offers computers, so owning a laptop is purely optional, therefore system requirements are unexistent. It's just that I want to be able to configure the system as I like; I hate to work with standard-setup machines.

>>57884469
>What about the new Thinkpad
Which one? They release multiple models every year.
ThinkPad is a good brand but the latest models have some privacy/security concerns (its a tad tinfoil though).
The X1 carbon is a good laptop.

Do you have 2 front fans and 1 rear fan?

>>57884525
You typically make those USBs using an ISO file.
I recommend either rufus or microsoft's own "USB/DVD Download Tool".

>>57884537
Depends on your country.
13 euro per hour is very low for my country.
You could set a minimum "incident fee" and a transportation cost.

I don't freelance anymore but I used a different payment model when I was.
I worked for small businesses and asked them to pay me a monthly fee for "operations".
Then I only charged for stuff like new development or new installations.
Using that model, since I got paid the same every month anyway, I was rewarded with free time the better the uptime of their systems.
At the same time, they weren't asked to email me if they had any problems.

>>57884525
uefi and a usb with a gpt partition no longer needs to be bootable, just create a fat32 partition and copy your files onto it.

>>57884469
would highly recommend against getting a new thinkpad, the cost is not worth it - in just 3 years you can get the same thing for a fraction of the price

>yeah, but that is three years from now anon!

I know. What you can do for now is what I did, get a T430. The jump from the 2nd gen mobile i5 to the 3rd gen m i5 was very noticeable, and the iGPU performance is definitely worth it. I wouldn't buy a T420 at this point to be honest.

The only downside to the T430 is the batteries need to be official (not 3rd party), unless you do a BIOS mod.
Think about it like this, in 3 or 4 years you can get a T460 for very cheap. The T450 is already in the $400 to $500 range. In 3 years? Probably will be the same price as the T420 is right now.

also I am not solely speaking out my ass, I bought an x220 and fooled around with it for a bit. The performance in the __30 series really is better, even if just barely. But that tiny little bit of better makes it worth it, as you can delay upgrading. To be honest, I think you could even get buy on a __20 model but I personally liked the way the t430 could handle anything I threw at it.

I don't think this will solve anything.

>>57884594
Why wouldn't it? The only problem is I can't get Windows onto the drive. The drive is detected inside Windows and my motherboard can see it just fine. If I can figure out a way to get a working install onto the damn thing and make it bootable, I won't have any problems. If there is some software out there that will let me replicate the EFI and MSR partitions, that would probably work.

>how limited are my gaming options?
depens on what you wanna play. just check requirements of games
by amd 4100 do you mean fx-4100? for gods sake at least get FX-6300.
if you want to upgrade you should get a FX-8320 or higher desu and then think about graphics card

>>57884642
I don't think it will be that bad.
Looks like a very classic design to me.

>>57884677
I think it will be a pain because NVMe is a lot newer than Win7.
If the hotfix didn't work in the installer, why would the OS without any drivers work?
Either way, copying an entire drive like that requires identical sizes so I think you're stuck with trying to make the installer work.
Try 3.0 if you where using 2.0 and vice-versa.

pros: someone with physical access to your machine can't modify your system/files if the machine is off (like with windows you can boot a linux distro and mess with stuff) - they can however erase everything.
cons: you must enter a password each time you startup the machine
I would just use an encrypted home directory

My friend's daughter broke hers somehow right at the time the new model came out and it's suspicious because she's the type to do that. My question is that is it possible? The port itself and phone are fine. It's not physically damaged as if you were to just pull it down and crack the phone. So... Is it just the pins on the inside? I've looked at the port and it seems designed for retards.

My S7 is possible to break because the little micro usb thing can be ripped off, but even that's impossible without ripping off the whole thing.

I'd suggest 2013 and up. 2013 is well enough compared to 2016 and MUUUUUUUUUUUUCH better than 2007 or even 2010. I'd recommend it just for Outlook alone.

Just don't fall for the Office 365 scam. It's literally just 2016 with updates enabled.

in Win10 im not sure but you can google it yourself champ
if its not in LAN you can setup a FTP server very easily.

Are there any phone programs that act like ShareX that allow me to upload to my sftp while copying the URL for where ever its being uploaded too?

Last night I asked for suggestions for a program to help me rip/download a whole set of fourms that is going offline soon, and I was suggested HTTrack.

So, I adjuisted the settings to the best of my understanding and had that running overnight, and it's still going 14 hours later now with 5gb downloaded and still going

Looking at what it downloaded, it looks like it mostly worked, with a few issues:

1. It downloaded a bunch of junk files and resources I don't need that's inflating the file size
2. For any thread or fourm section where there are multiple pages, I can't click the buttons to get to page 2, 3, etc from the downloaded index.hmtl file

Can anybody tell me what the settings need to be for those to be fixed? The fourm in question is http://monsterarchives.proboards.com/

All right.

Just did a new build. Runs and boots fine. The problem is that both mechanical hard drives are recognized by the BIOS and device manager, but NOT disk management or My Computer.

I'm using:
525GB SSD, recognized fine
4TB HD, unrecognized (split into 2 partitions due to old motherboard not supporting UEFI)
1TB factory HD, unrecognized

Can you guys give a recommendation? I am fine with wiping all drives and reformatting. I just want to use the SSD as the primary with the other two mechanical drives for storage.

>>57886723
>split into 2 partitions due to old motherboard not supporting UEFI
you don't need a UEFI machine to make and use a 4TB partition
>Whenever I try to use Daz's Loader I get "unsupported partition table."
afaik daz loader doesn't work on uefi machines, try removewat

ensure you have the chipset/ahci drivers for the new mobo installed
did you remember to run sysprep before changing mobo?

why do you have to have 10,000 years of experience in a million different skills to qualify for job? are we oversaturated with devs?

>>57886884
I've never run sysprep. Will that get rid of this issue? I built an identical machine for my wife, the only difference being that she has the SSD plus the 1TB HD, but not the 4TB, and Daz worked fine.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/ndp/HP-14-am025na-Laptop-Turbo-silver-i3-5005U-Graphics/B01H9UVWZK

For a poor uni student, is this my best bet?

>>57886921
normally you'd run sysprep before making large hardware changes (generally used when making a common system to clone onto muliple different machines in a business setting, but works just as well for a home user moving their system to a new machine)
if you can run sysprep, there's no harm in trying it (select "generalize" and "reboot")
>Daz worked fine.
on a UEFI machine in UEFI mode? alright, ignore that, then
i've only heard things, i don't use daz loader, or windows, or a uefi machine (but i do use GPT disks)

>>57886984
>but i do use GPT disks
this actually ade me remember something:
iirc windows only support gpt lables on UEFI machines so >>57886723 s Disks might have msdos labels

>>57886984
I figure I can unplug the two mechanical drives, reinstall Windows onto the SSD, then send if the Loader works. My main issue is the OS not recognizing the hard drives. Don't know what the problem is. Know of any decent utilities that can recognize a drive, and force the OS to recognize it? I've read I should try changing drive letters and I wish it were that simple, but like I said disk management will not recognize these drives, nor will Windows. Only able to see them in the BIOS and in device manager.

>>57886984
-- oh, and don't worry when after running sysprep, windows appears to be completing installation
that's what it does, it removes machine-specific information (generalizes), so when you boot up again, it does what setup does at the end again (specializes), to the new hardware
you will not lose any personal information (programs, settings, users, etc)

>>57887035
from what i understand, windows won't /boot/ from a gpt disk without a uefi machine, but can use non-boot gpt disks on any machine
i don't know enough about uefi to say if you can boot from an msdos disk in uefi mode (don't see why not)

yes, or you could use those antennas on the router to send wifi to the computers

>>57887058
>windows won't /boot/ from a gpt disk without a uefi machine
oh, should add that you can do this if you use a suitably modified protective mbr on a gpt disk
though the boot partition must still conform to msdos limitations (can only define 4 partitions, and can't include any space beyond 2TiB)

>>57887058
after reading something about that i am 99% sure that windows won't boot from a MBR disk if the PC is booted in UEFI mode. I am unsure wether you can use MBR disks in UEFI mode if you booted from a gpt disk or not.

>>57887167
>I am unsure wether you can use MBR disks in UEFI mode if you booted from a gpt disk or not.

My non-x86 experience is primarily in ARM and MIPS which are usually used for embedded applications. So they tend to be in form factors smaller than ITX.

I don't know about other architectures, power PC is dead but I'm pretty sure it followed the rules of ATX, mATX etc. I don't if Sparc is still around... and cell was only used in first gen PS3's to my knowledge.

Did you have an architecture in mind? Are you trying to get away from x86 for any reason in particular?

Mining bitcoin on consumer hardware used to be profitable. The difficulty has gone way up with the introduction of ASIC's.

I mine ethereum on GPU's and trade it for bitcoin. The difficulty is going up as more people start to mine it and the price of ether has started to go down because of the DAO situation and various attacks on the network. The attacks never seem to take the network down and the problems that made them possible are always fixed very quickly but it generates bad press.

If you have a few GPU's around and have cheap electricity(or don't pay for it) then you could make some money mining ether.

I used to donate my GPU power to folding@home. But making a few dollars a day won out over charity in the end.

Just make sure you use a SATA controller that supports AHCI.

Some motherboards have more than one SATA controller, sometimes a shitty one designed strictly for optical drives.

Go into the BIOS before you install the OS and set the controller to AHCI. Don't set it to IDE, and don't set it to RAID. Not all raid controllers support S.M.A.R.T. and TRIM.

If wear leveling is not working properly you're gonna see some performance reduction and possibly failure way sooner than you should.

Thanks a lot for your quick and helpful response.

I'm going to try and make this as short as I can, so I recently purchased this Amp/Dac from amazon:

I plugged these headphones:

into the headphone jack at the front and used a 3.5mm to RCA adapter at the rear to plug my amp into the "line out" jack on my computer, all well and good, but I'm pretty sure I've fucked up somewhere.

I have both the PC volume and Amp volume all turned up to MAX, and sound the amp is reproducing is so quiet, like real whisper quiet. I've checked both the amp/cans are compatible, checked what I ordered was actually an amp and not just a DAC (just in case I made a rookie mistake), checked I used the right cables etc, but the amp doesn't seem to be producing any, well, amplification.

Any help would be appreciated,

What is better for quality in ffmpeg, using ffmpeg to downscale, or encoding at full scale and letting a browser or video player resize the video to fit a screen?

Say for example webms here. if you open a 1920*1080 webm in a thread you probably won't see it at that resolution, it'll be 1000*500 or whatever. Assuming you don't care about people opening the file manually to get the full resolution are you better just letting the program resize the video, or encoding at a size it will most likely be viewed at? I hope that makes sense.

I'm currently using Firefox with:
>httpseverywhere
>canvasblocker
>ublock, with all the lists I could find.
>umatrix

I'm also using dns.watch as dns.
Something more I could do to improve security, or functionality?

resizing in the browser on the fly has to be fast, so it's less accurate than letting ffmpeg do it before using more advanced algorithms.

Are there any downsides at all to using a HDD with "NAS" in the name in you desktop PC?

>>57889384
google tracks you, obviously. feature. You can enter !g "search" and it will direct you to google results without google tracking it as your search. There are thousands of bangs you can use to search thousands of different sites. Even if you primarily use google I find it's actually easier to use duckduckgo bangs to google than use google itself. !i for google images, !maps for google maps !yt you youtube and so on. Then other sites, !w wikipedia, !sc soundcloud, !wolfram wolfram alpha. bangs are great.

>>57889456
NAS type hard drives are designed to be on 24/7, have vibration dampening, cost a fair bit more and are generally going to be more reliable than a standard hdd.

no downsides at all really, but unless you are using one for NAS type environments you really don't need them, it's just going to cost your more money. better save the cash and use it to improve other aspects of your computer.

yeah, I know. I fell for the meme, I guess. But I'm also paranoid about a lot of things.
Good to know I don't have to use more addons though, I have already too many, and Firefox is slow enough as it is now.
