Do 3:2 monitors exist yet or do I have to go with 4:3? I want to get a cheap non-widescreen monitor to use in portrait mode as my secondary monitor

So I signed up for a shady site and my network wifi went down a couple hours later.

Are they related? I didn't enter any info regarding my network. Only important thing I put was my email.

Re-asking here just for some more insight

So I've bought into the Ultrabook meme and have been looking at machines to buy

I've spotted the Asus UX360UA for around £600, i5, 3200x1800 screen, good ports, 128GB SSD.

The one everyone wanks over is the HP Spectre x360 though, and that's retailed at £900, has a 1920x1080 screen that is actually worse than the Asus in not only resolution, a worse hinge but 256GB SSD

My question is, where the hell does the gap in price come from? I've seen both in person, the Asus seems like a better machine but it just doesn't look as slick

Something just feels off about paying less for what seems like more, what's the catch?

>>58020573
Simplicity to shorten the amount of boilerplate code needed.

>>58020562

>>58020590
The catch is usually things like build quality, just jamming high end specs in a laptop isn't what makes it expensive

>bought a new PC
>turn it on
>the PC turns on, but nothing happens
>wait
>nothing
>the video graphics card stops working
>PC still on, without any signal on the monitor


what could it be?

I have an old Llano APU that is apparently working fine (OC and all) regarding the cpu portion but with no graphics. Windows doesn't recognize the adapter and in the bios I can force embeded gfx (dvi connector works ust fine) but can't allocate shared memory, since doing just that makes the system unable to post.

any ideas? I'm kinda curious.

>>58020913
>buying a pre-build PC
lol, what a loser.

Anyway, have you considered checking if you have problems with the cables you are using and if your graphics card is properly connected into your motherboard? I've had problems connecting my graphics card in the past.

>>58020913
sounds like a short circuit somewhere.
check the mobo grounding and every single one of the power connectors.

i am a 21 years old spaniard and i work by myself doing computer repairs and maintenance
i dont get much calls and even if i did the job is not that good
what should i study to get a better job in technology ?
should i try to continue my career here or move to another country ?

>>58020976
yep, pre-built

yes, it is well connected to the motherboard

i just can't unterstand why it stops after a while

>>58021043
wait, forget what i said.
>>58020913
does it post?

>>58021043
i will check that.

I was transferring something to a flash drive on Computer A and the average transfer speed was 4.5 MB/s. On computer B the average speed was 16 MB/s.

Is USB transfer speed determined by the CPU?
Is copying to slower than copying from?

Why was one computer faster than another?

I just uploaded my app to the play store but I can't find it when I search for it.
It says here that it's published.
Anyone knows something?

>>58021083
is the motherboard posting (does it beep)?
any led indicators?

if it isn't posting check the cpu first, then the memory. But since it's a prebuilt you are probably better rma'ing it... don't even bother, if the return shipping isn't too much of a hassle.

>>58021136
the motherboard doesn't post
it's like it is working normally

i also you try the rma... might be the better option. ty

i'm writing a web application where the action that is done on the server is determined by a request parameter. which is stylistically better?

sub someAction {
  # do some action
  ...
}

sub someOtherAction {
  # do some other action
  ...
}

sub requestHandler {
  if ($action eq 'someAction') {
    someAction;
  } elsif ($action eq 'someOtherAction')
    someOtherAction;
  } ...
}

or

sub requestHandler {
  if ($action eq 'someAction') {
    # do some action
    ...
  } elsif ($action eq 'someOtherAction')
     # do some other action
    ...

assuming that "some action" and "some other action" are only done in those two instances (i.e. the code is not reused anywhere else in the application), does it make sense to separate it into it's own functions? i feel like if i don't, i end up with one huge function, and if i do, i get all these functions that are only called in one place; both options seem wrong for different reasons.
inb4 let's all laugh at perl for not having normal switch/case statements or spelling elsif weird

I just had that stupid fucking "too many 16 bit programs running" error after nu-sjwfox shat itself and when i tried to log off everything just froze completely and there was just a black screen with the mouse on it which responded in realtime perfectly fine but no matter what buttons i pressed nothing else happened so i had to do a hard reboot

Is it safe if I TeamViewer on my phone using its 3G network?
Like can anyone else see what I'm doing?

>>58020564
Practically no. Almost all 4:3 monitors are TN panels, so not great for portrait since the vertical viewing angles are shit.

Cheapo used 5:4 1280x1024 monitors are pretty common, but again all TN so don't rotate them.

>>58021621
if you are alone in the room no one else can see it

also teamviewer over 3G will barely work from the low bandwith
I have 0 experience using it in phones but id recommend using wifi

What are good websites where I can learn C, C++ and Java?

I intend to go fully into the software development field for jobs.

I kind of need the most hand-holdy learning tool possible. I am not that good at studying.

>>58021674
What I mean is 3g is sort of a shared network so I was wondering if anyone can see what it is I'm doing I already know IPs can monitor traffic but what about users

>>58021757
no, teamviewer is encrypted and safe

>>58021702
Depends.
If you have absolutely 0 knowledge of object oriented programming then I recommend thenewboston on youtube.

After that I would read a good book like OCA Java SE 8 Programmer by mala gupta if you want to learn what's the norm for programmers who have jobs.

I'm going to learn a language to write a primarily GUI based program (standalone and compatible with windows/mac/linux ideally), but I'm not sure which would be best.

I've read suggestions online and apparently Java and C# are good for this. Which one would be better and is there a better language?

Why the actual fuck does it say I have installations going when trying install microsoft visual C++

I can have literally nothing else running and it just says I have other shit going on

Which programming language should I start with as a beginner to get a feel for the discipline? And is there a way to play with the programs online?

Are CD rippers still a thing? I've got a ton of disks from the bargain bin that need ripping.

>>58020579
Nope, not unless you downloaded something and ran it.

>>58020573
Functions as objects makes algorithms much more generic: eg sort by ```reverse-emoji-alphabetical```

>>58021126
Give it a couple hours for all the caches to update.

>>58021702
Community college.

>>58022125
this is why PSU should be the first thing you consider when building or modifying a computer. the rest is just things that would be ideal besides basic stuff like making sure everything fits

you can get a higher wattage PSU if there's enough room in the case obviously. it might be awkward, especially if you have a case with everything sort of set up for a specific build

Fuck no. I had to take a programming class as perquisite for my certification and it was garbage. They'll have you pay out the ass for a book that has to be new because it's needed for a horrible online test taking platform.

Learning on youtube + actually starting projects will teach you more than a college class (with programming at least)
When I was in college the people in my class didn't learn anything because they didn't apply anything from the class to hobby projects.

>>58022176
>Which programming language should I start with as a beginner to get a feel for the discipline?
What do you want to do with the languages? Make online applications or desktop?

>And is there a way to play with the programs online?
Online compilers exist, look it up. But you're going to have to get an IDE if you want to actually run desktop/web applications.

Also, please read a book after watching thenewboston's tutorials. He doesn't teach things like proper naming conventions that well.

So I don't think I'm totally computer illiterate, but I'm lost when it comes to anything networking related.

I've been having some connection issues lately and wanted to try giving my isp a call. When I went to their website I found myself at a router log in page (pic related) instead of their website. This isn't my router, and my router's log in certainly doesn't work. When I try to connect to their website through a different connection (example my phone off wifi, or at work) it works just fine.

I'm not sure why this is, if its related to my connection issues or what. Should I call them and let them know this is happening?

>>58022350
Also this isp is a fairly small local company, the connection is wireless broadband. I live in the mountains so selection is limited.

>>58022300
I am honestly not that sure where my discipline should go.

I could either go for a Web Designer or a Software Developer path. Maybe even an Android development path. I have no idea where to start at all yet.

Is there anything I can do in mpv to cover up these Japanese hardsubs? They make it hard to read the English subs and are just generally distracting.

Is there perhaps some way to tell mpv not to render a certain portion of the video so that nothing will appear there?

>>58017519
Anyone?

I am on W10 Pro Insider Preview Build 14965

has anyone had an issue like this before? I don't see anything scheduled to make this thing keep opening.

>>58022478
>hardsubs
Why do you think they call them HARDsubs?

>>58022501
I know what hardubs are. I know they're encoded onto the video itself and can't be disabled, but they are showing up on a particular part of the video where there is just a black bar, so if there was some way of making mpv simply not render that section of the video then they could be gotten rid of as though they were never there.

I'm guessing it's not possible but I'm asking in the hopes that it somehow is.

>>58022515
use the subtitle adjustment to move up eng subs, will at least alleviate the issue

How do I choose what Bitcoin wallet to use?

I have a project where I need to be able to receive Bitcoins, but I've never used them before. The page on bitcoin.org just lists the different choices without any explanation, and it's hard to find any unbiased report of their pros and cons.

I am interested in anonymity mostly. I'll most likely be accessing it from a Windows 7 machine.

>>58020579
Almost definitely not.

In theory it's possible, but that would be a waste of effort for a hacker. If they were able to get something downloaded and run on your computer, they wouldn't fuck around with your wifi--it would most likely be ransomware.

Hackers aren't just pranksters anymore--they pretty much just want money now. If they were able to get something running with admin privileges on your computer, it wouldn't just be breaking things on your network, it would be encrypting all your shit and demanding a ransom.

>>58022350
Simply put, yes.

The problem's on their end, not yours. Have your computer in front of you, and be ready to provide as many details as they want. The MAC address of your modem helps too.

Is there difference between 15$ 7.1 external sound card or 30$ one while they have same bitrate and number of inputs/outputs except software?

How can internals of sound card support only 5.1 but somehow re-seller makes it 7.1

Example CMI8738

Theyr web: 8738-LX/MX supports 6CH DAC 5.1 surround

but seller who uses it in pic related uses it for 7.1

so is there additional hardware or is it false 7.1

:^) I know that you can not tell me 100% without dismantling it but just tell me what is more probable

>>58022284
Not unless your monitor's a broken POS.

Try it both ways and compare on a couple of songs. If you can't tell the difference, it's not a problem. Any decent monitor should be fine.

Write speeds are typically slower than read. Transfer is obviously dependent upon what you are transferring to . Computer B might have a more efficient drive, maybe an SSD. Other things like usb 3 might be in play on computer B. CPU would have very minimal impact on data speeds.

>>58020871
But it surely can't be that much worse, right?
They're both pretty pricey

So apparently i freed up like 15gb+ of hdd space just by rebuilding my thumbnail cache from scratch 2 hours ago, is this plausible or is kikerosoft just avin some giggls with me here

>>58021123
Smaller files are harder to transfer.
Copying to a USB is slower because write speeds are usually really low.

Not a problem with USB 3.0 USBs.

Alright.
I bough a Dell Vostro 3558, the 2Gb graphics model, and I've been reasonably happy with it.

The storage is just too small for me. I though about getting rid of the disk drive and throwing in a HDD frame instead, and putting in a 5TB HDD.
Would it be worth it replacing the one that I got with the system with a same HDD, and Raiding the two?
How would it work with data recovery capability?

Also, another question.
The thing didn't get a HDMI. So, I use the included winbooe10 capability to use my smart TV as another display. Would upgrading my router and cabling the TV together help with latency?

>>58024639
5 TB for a laptop?

More than 1TB is already unreliable enough for 2.5" HDDs.

Also, is Raiding them worth it? Would transfer speed be affected?

I put together a computer the other day, and after installing the wifi card, everything was fine and dandy for about a day. The utility program that was loaded by the install disk showed that I was averaging about a 77% signal quality. After that day, the card drops the connection every 3 minutes or less during the day, and only maintains a signal, albeit a shitty one, late at night. At best I'm getting a 40% signal quality now. The drivers are up to date and I've removed and replaced the card to make sure there weren't any seating issues, so now I'm at a loss at what to do.

Nothing's changed since the first day other than that I moved the computer to a different location in the house, one that is closer to the router than it initially was, and even after moving it the signal was fine for a brief while. Ethernet isn't an option since the closest wall-socket is over 50 feet away. I'm going to try a powerline adapter, but the router is on a different breaker than my room so the signal's going to be a bit degraded from the start.

Any idea what might be the issue or potential solutions? Since my only other computer died today, this is the only way I have to get work done or access the web, so I'm fucked if I can't figure this out.

The card in question:
>http://www.tp-link.com/us/products/details/cat-5519_TL-WDN4800.html

>>58024861

Is there a microwave or something that could be regularly disrupting the signal?

>>58024873
Only thing between my room and the room the router's in, is a bathroom. So there's nothing really in between that I would think would effect the signal other than (maybe) a power strip, a lamp, a set of rollers/hair dryer (in the bathroom) and that's it.

Granted, my computer's in the corner furthest away from the router, but my previous computer was in the same location, with an even worse wireless card, and never had an issue.

What confuses me is that it's not as big an issue during the night, even though I still get some serious lag in a game or things load a bit slower than usual, but it's downright impossible to stay connected during the day, even when there's no one else here.

>>58022284

How much higher should my PSU's watts be compared to the watts my parts are using?

>>58025581
If you're a super envirofaggot, +50% for peak efficiency. If not, 25% is usually enough to prevent saturation and keep heat levels down.

>>58025581
the highest efficiency is found around 40% of the full wattage i think
so if you had 500W PSU the best efficiency would be around 200W (depends on model)
also keep in mind that the max wattage is not stable
and that the different cables coming from the PSU give different wattages (read side of the PSU)

Some games have mods that change the xbox button images to playstation ones and there are even handful of games that have them built-in and only require a config file change. But most games only support xbox buttons and have no mod support at all.

Try to google "<game> playstation buttons" or whatever, it'll usually give you something useful.

>alternatively, can you get "caps" or something to make your triangle, square etc on the ds4 say x, y, a, b?
Yes, some people do sell xbox buttons that fit into ds4. You'll have to dissassemble the controller and change the buttons yourself but this shoudnt be too hard. Search for them in ebay or google or whatever. Or you could just memorize which one is which.

MAXVALUE is 24. What I don't get is, where is the value rounded down, and rounded down to what?

>>58028592
I am by no means an expert, but if the value is an integer, I believe value automatically gets rounded down as integers automatically discard everything after the decimal.

>>58028677
I suspected it would round down to nearest integer, but I don't see that in the code, in addition it seems to make sacrificing anything weaker than. In addition, that would mean that sacrificing anything below 7 difficulty for non-chaotic and 11 for chaotic completely worthless, which seems weird

Been looking at some secondhand business laptops for general schoolwork and watching my weeb cartoons in bed. Would something 8gb ram, 500gb hdd, I5-2540M and a 1366x768 TN screen be sufficient, or schould I shoot for something newer?

>>58029277
the 768p sucks, I agree, but it I think I might get used to it (I'm on a 900p 17-inch) at the moment. I doubt they will ever fully move away from making 15inch 768p, and there are still problems with 1080p scaling on a 15 inch screen. it should be fine for movies in 720p and shit, I hope. and since I'm also on a budget... the ayyymd card is supposedly slightly better than a nvidia 920m, so it should be okay for the simple vidya I play from time to time (diablo 3 as an example. and since the resolution is low the framerates should be fine.

thanks for your opinion. pic related for the emacs theme

i'm too new to the javascript stuff to know what's wrong with react and node. i saw that big javascript survey result thing a while ago and they said that react and vue are what most employers have in their job requirements for this year for web developer ads.

i picked the node book because i already finished a learning node book a while ago and figured that since node is backend and react is frontend... maybe that'd make sense to do if i wanted to make a website? i don't know anything about that stuff. hence the books.

Is there any software similar to docky/plank so I can get a dock like in the picture, which I can pin items to, and also shows open programs?

And, is it possible to make windows taskbar look like pic related, with the left icon being the start menu, and having a clock in the middle?

I know I can make the taskbar on the top and with small icons, but I don't want to show open programs there. I also think you can make the start menu button smaller by changing it to classic theme or something, but not sure.

You can't have multiple bootloaders active at same time and the windows one doesn't like other operating systems. If you want to use linux you have to replace it with GRUB which can mess up your windows boot.

>>58030076
I don't use one myself but I've heard people use RocketDock for that.

Can someone explain how to use this to a complete retard like me?

>Close both uTorrent and qBittorent

First one is the full path and filename of uTorrents resume.dat (usually C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent\resume.dat). The second parameter is the path to qBittorrents BT_backup folder (usually C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\qBittorrent\BT_backup\)
>Wait for the program to end, then start qBittorrent

>>58030870
the commandline parameters are what comes after the program.
in this case you'd type

ut2qt.exe %appdata%\uTorrent\resume.dat %appdatalocal%\qbittorrent\bt_backup\

if you get an error that it can't find ut2qt then you are in the wrong directory.
either use cd to go where the exe is or even easier: navigate to the exe with explorer and click file -> command line prompt

Anyone using Win10 LTSB/N?

Building a new PC; don't want normal 10.
Can't find reliable info on how to go about getting it.

Responses have all been along the line of:

No, fuck off.

I don't have access to any Microsoft enterprise subscribers or anything.

How about getting an Enterprise key off leddit or wherever and then upgrading to LTSB from there?

Possible?

Thank you, /g/.

What is the easiest way to install drivers on a newly installed system?

We're talking Windows 10 here.

>>58032003
Look up your mobo model and you should find the manufacturer's website. Just download the drivers directly from the manufacturer.

>>58032045
Well, that's the usual way. I was thinking maybe there is some free (as in freedom) driver manager that everyone on /g/ uses.

>>58032068
There is a program called 3DP Chip (I think) but I personally avoid it because it is filled with trojans, and if you dont know what you are doing it can screw up your machine.

>>58032068
There are driver managers out there but none are really perfect as far as I know, if you know what your hardware is I think it's much less hassle to just download the drivers you know are right rather than save a minute or two but possibly incur more headache down the line.

Is the 1050ti worth the extra cost compared to the RX 460?

1. How big is the leap from a 7770 to an RX460?

2. I currently crossfire two 7770s, which of course only works in some games. How do two 7770s compare to one RX460?

3. On a related note, wasn't DirectX 12 supposed to allow asynchronous multi GPU setups? Can I crossfire a 7770 with an RX460 yet or is that still soon™?

>>58032385
>RX 460
at least RX 470 or dont bother spending your money
and you can check benchmarks yourself instead of waiting for people to google them for you.

>>58032385
1. save for a 480.
2. SLI doesnt help in games, even makes some run worse.
3. Not "yet".

>>58032510
two weak cards perform worse on a game that doesn't support it (the majority) than a single card for the prize of both.
I've run SLI for a few years, it's shit and not worth the hassle having to figure out which setting would go best.

>>58032897
I've disabled thumbnails so live folders won't show up. I'm using sagethumbs to show the image thumbnails instead but I want video thumbnails too. Can't find anything that would work so I thought I could just use a shortcut key to toggle the option on and off as needed.

Reading the ahk docs now but I'm sleepy and it's all going over my head but also can't sleep until I get this right ;_;
