/sqt/ Stupid Questions Thread

How would you explain to someone that is a little bit tech literate (knows what is linux, did some programming of his free time) why privacy is actually something important.
This guy actually don't mind if I send him a lot of stuff about the subject, he is actually interested about it. Problem is that I don't want to spend too many time and wanted to know if there was a fast way to explain it

>>58034085
In my own personal view, privacy is a prerequisite for freedom of speech. What do you do when you're around people? You filter your speech and your thoughts. You adjust and temper yourself to fit nicely with everyone else. You might still be shaped your own unique way but you aren't allowed to be you. Only with privacy are you free to actually speak and think your mind. If you have to tiptoe around a hundred different things then you aren't very free. And at this point just searching for "linux" is enough to get you on a list in the US and hosting a video of yourself stuffing your fist in your mouth while drunk can get you arrested in Britain.

Why don't they simply make the color black equivalent to the pixel being switched off?

>>58035651
OLED screens do that
Most LCD displays can't do that because the backlight is a single source, the pixel just blocks the light

>>58035651
they do where possible, but i take it you're talking about LCD's, that's not how it works
LCD pixels do not generate light, they just selectively block light from the backlight behind them, so to make black, they need to fully block the backlight

So one of my family members' desktop shit the bed. Completely froze out of nowhere, and upon rebooting, hung at the "Starting Windows" screen. Safe mode also hangs in the same manner while loading, as does attempting to boot from a repair disc. I figured it to be an issue with damaged system files, but removing the hard drive and trying to boot Ubuntu in live mode off a USB experiences the same issues. In addition, I've reset the CMOS and run memtest86, which hasn't shown any errors with the RAM, what else could be causing the problem?

>>58035651
Because that's usually the colour white. on LCD screens there's a big backlight and the LCD pixels block out the white like in a digital watch.

>>58035788
check the fans are all working, and that the machine, especially the cpu heatsink, is clear of dust
also, how long did you run memtest for? i've seen people only run it for 5 min, that doesn't cut it

>>58035788
Sounds like faulty disk or other hardware. Disconnect as many components as you can and boot into Linux live CD, then add them back in one by one until you find the offender.

my money is on the disk.

>>58035835
>" but removing the hard drive and trying to boot Ubuntu in live mode off a USB experiences the same issues."
it's not the disk

>>58035821
The fans all work and everything is dust free.
I ran memtest for at least three hours, so I'm fairly certain the RAM is fine.

>>58035835
I figured it to be the disk as well, but the mistake persists even after I've taken it out.

>>58035867
what exactly does it do?
does the machine have a dedicated gpu?

>>58035788
One of your cpu cores might have burnt out. Disable all but one core in the bios, see if that works.

>>58035867
It could just be that something on the mobo has popped. Remove everything that you can, gfx, as much ram as you can, peripherals, turn shit off in the BIOS. Work your way up.

Can you get a log of Linux booting up? It might give some clues.

I want to setup a google os terminal at one of my family's business sites (since basically all of our shit is done in the browser). Are there any notable chrome boxes out there that are highly recommended?

When booting Windows, it locks on "Starting Windows," same for the repair/install CD.
With a Ubuntu USB, I'm able to select language, then live or persistant mode, then all I get is a blinking cursor in the corner. Same thing happens with an Arch USB.
The machine does have a dedicated GPU, the motherboard doesn't have onboard graphics though so I can't do much to test without it.

You'll have to imagine the rape.

>>58036186
you should try to test that gpu in some way (try it in another machine, put other machines' gpu in this one, etc)
what you've described thus far doesn't rule out the gpu

>Both screens for Linux show nothing but a blinking cursor after launch
try removing "quiet" and adding "nomodeset" to the kernel argument

>>58036247
>ZOG tattooed ladyboys
w-what

>>58036260
I've added nomodeset to the launch options, no change. quiet wasn't present to begin with. I'll go ahead and try to see if I can fit the GPU into my PC.

>>58036350
>quiet wasn't present to begin with.

Back from testing a bunch of stuff, I put my graphics card into his computer and saw no difference, so it's not the GPU. At this point I'm beginning to believe something on the motherboard must have shorted out in a power surge seeing as how the power supply isn't hooked up to a protector.

If it isn't written physically on your router, then there isn't a way and you can reset your router to default factory settings by holding the reset button on the back

try:
admin // password
admin // admin

or google your specific router for defaults

other than that, just reset it to factory and then config the stuff

Disconnect everything from your router. Plug a computer into your router with an ethernet rj45 cable.
You should be able to access your router from the computer. If you aren't, there's a problem. Once you've done this, blug your touter into your modem and plug the cable connection into the modem. Post results.

Can you connect two computers to your router and have them talk to each other? Then your router works.
Can you connect your modem to your computer and have it connect to the internet? Then your modem works.

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:
>"Why would you want that? You don't need that. Just use the consumer version in all its retarded glory." No thank you, 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?

What was your route to getting this version?

Thank you, /g/.

I have a ethernet line from my desktop to the router and that usually works better than the wifi. Recently though I've had to reset the router and modem to get the internet to not be sub 128kbs. Usually can connect to the router but get no internet or it is choppy. Everything seems fine now though.

Thanks on the trackers guys. I never trusted tbp after they got taken down for a month.

>>58039752
There's nothing to trust with tpb though. It's just an index of magnet links, anybody who wants to know what you download would just have to download the same torrent file/magnet link you did from any other site to get your ip address. That's why the really important thing when it comes to torrents is using a vpn/seedbox.

>>58039751
Connect directly to the modem for a few days and see if you still have the problem.
If you do, it's either the modem or your ISP being dicks.

Not the guy who provided KAT to you, but be aware that it's slow as fuck right now (everyone is trying to get online with it being back so it's not shocking).

Take the "minimum" tier. You can avoid the GPU and take a beefier CPU if you don't plan on doing anything related to 3D.

I'm trying to make OBS work alongside GTAV without dropping too much fps; my plan so far is making OBS use cores 5+6 of my 6 core processor since GTA hogs core 1 and to a lesser extent 2-4. I don't want to manually set the affinity every time I launch OBS though, so I came to a thingy (not a comp sci person beyond hardware) that will launch OBS with the affinity I want.

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity xx "C:\Your_Program.exe"

xx=
01 - 1st CPU
02 - 2nd CPU
03 - 1st and 2nd CPU
04 - 3rd CPU
05 - 1st and 3rd CPU
06 - 2nd and 3rd CPU
07 - 1st 2nd and 3rd CPU
08 - 4th CPU
09 - 1nd and 4th CPU
0A - 2rd and 4th CPU
0B - 1st 2nd and 4th CPU
0C - 3rd and 4th CPU
0D - 1st 3rd and 4th CPU
0E - 2nd 3rd and 4th CPU
0F - 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th CPU

I've always had trouble with mathematical patterns so this is frying my brain trying to figure it out. Can anyone tell me what the hexadecimal I need for "xx" is to launch on 5+6? Tell me how it's done too if you don't mind.

>>58040502
what for?
the scheduler is intelligent enough to not place two heavy processes on the same core.

>>58040502
Your list doesn't show anything that would let you start a program and make it use only the 5th and 6th cores.
If you want to use the 3rd and 4th cores you can use 0C.

I may want to build a PC in the future and honestly I might now, I'm not sure what to do really.

I know enough to put all the pieces together and turn the thing on that's for sure and I guess I could just install ubuntu. I think I want Windows although Windows 10 kinda sucks and honestly I think I could live without it.

Guess I'm just nervous about spending the money and not getting it to work properly since I really don't have anyone around me that knows what they are doing and online everyone will give you their own opinion which might to hard for me.

I know how you feel anon. I only build my first PC this year and I didn't have anybody to ask for help either. Choosing the parts took me about two weeks, assembling the computer took me about four hours (mainly because after the first two hours the computer didn't boot, so I simply removed every part and did it all over again).
If I managed to do it I'm sure you can do it too.

My main storage 2TB hard drive is starting to fail and I need a replacement, but most of my programs are on it.
Can I just copy everything over to a new (bigger) drive as-is, then change the drive letter to match the old one, or am I missing something?

>>58040594
yes.
use robocopy to simplify this.

I seem to bee completely unable to upload some files.
I tried several upload sites and can't even attatch them to mails. However I'm having no problems with other biger files.
So far this has happened 2 times. Once with a video I made and a couple of months later with a .zip file containing some CAD drawings.
Does anyone have a clue what might be up with that and how I can fix it?

>>58040594
Probably not.
I'd recommend turning the computer off, booting a clonezilla livecd, making the copy, swapping the drives and rebooting. Less chances of fucking up in my opinion.

>>58040516
GTA runs pretty roughly, I get 70fps (my set limit) while flying, 50 while driving in the desert, 30-50 in cities. I've had the game for over a year and tinkered with the settings every way I can to make the thing behave. When I start playback buffering with OBS the usage on core 1 goes from about 90 up to 95-100% while all the others (which are at about 70-80 while GTA is running) climb about 5% each and my frame rate drops by 20fps. So I figure setting OBS to the cores GTA is least likely to put weight on would get better game performance.
>>58040528
It doesn't stop there, the next step would use core 5 only, after that 1+5 and so on but I get lost shortly past that. (I only use Hexadecimal for color values so I have no clue whats after 0F either)
>>58040576
I'll try it, thanks

That is just a standard bit mask. Mark every core as 0, then flip the bits for the cores you want to activate and finally convert the binary number to hex.

Yeah I'm really looking into it and thanks for all the info, I'm just nervous about it. And since I already have a few desktops I'm not sure if I shouldn't just wait and get a decent laptop since my dad has medical problems and I do too so I spend alot of time in hospitals.

np, fyi, the value is pretty simple, it's a byte, in hexadecimal, and each bit represents a cpu

for example;
00000101 = 05
first and third bit/cpu from the right
00001101 = 0D
first, second, and fourth bit/cpu from the right
00110000 = 30
fifth and sixth bit/cpu from the right
11111111 = FF
all eight bits/cpus (more and you need more than two hex digits)

Idle temperatures do not matter at all. You could drop it down to 30's with better cooling but that won't do anything except increase fan noise.

I recently bought a new laptop that came preinstalled with win 10, and after using it for a week I was determined to downgrade it. I saw that the laptop had drivers for win 8.1 so that's what I decided to go with. I created a system image and a bootable USB but I seem to encounter every error possible. Now I'm starting to wonder if it's even possible to downgrade preinstalled win 10, is it?

I'll get the Blue then.

I need to set up a dual boot, windows will be there only for gaming with my faggot friends and maybe some random school stuff (unlikely though)

What do I go for: win7 or win10?

>>58042418
10 for dx12

>>58042418
Win 7. It's just simpler and easier. Though it's mostly just a personal preference.

Do you want something more stable that is less wonky? Win 7. If you want DX12 and, well, nothing else really. Get Win 10.

My PC isn't recognising that my 1080 is plugged in. I can't install drivers for it and it won't show up in device manager. What do?

>>58042518
check your power connections and that it's seated properply

>>58042518
take it out completely and try putting it back into the slot, correctly
recheck if the power is connected

happened to me when I was building my pc 2 days ago with my 1070

does a UPS have any value these days? my power goes out like once a month.

>>58042552
How much is not having your computer shut off randomly once a month worth to you?

>>58042476
>>58042489
thats a good start
thanks buddy

Is this right? I've got a 6pin and a 2pin plugged into the 8 socket. This is my first time installing a graphics card and I've no idea what I'm doing.

>>58042582
Well that's half of it, you need to plug the other 6 pin in

>>58042565
its mostly just an annoyance but im wondering if its bad for the computer

>>58042606
Depends on what the computer is doing at the time. If it's in the middle of writing data something could get corrupted

>>58042601
what he said
not enough power

My printer does not print pure black.
It prints any tone of grey perfectly fine, just not pure 0,0,0,0 #000000 black.
Printer is an Epson SX535WD, anyone know what it could be?

>>58042601
>>58042621
The 6pin cable has another 6pin at the end of it. Will that work?

Whenever my father texts me from his ios device, it says something like "said gently" or "sent loudly". I asked him what this was and he is unsure and wants it turned off.
I have tried googling this issue but have come up with nothing. What is this and how do I turn it off for him? (ios 10.2)

Sorry for the really dumb question. I use an android and have not seen this feature before.

>>58042645
I assume if the cable is set up that way it will work

>>58042645
yes, it should
those are basically daisy-chained, but both deliver power

if it fits and has the right amount of holes just plug it iin and you should be good to go

>>58042659
>>58042668
Holy shit that worked. Thanks so much. Sorry for being an idiot.

>>58042659
>>58042668
I've run into another problem. My monitor doesn't have an HDMI port to connect to the GPU.

>>58042795
okay

>>58042795
you check these things before you buy stuff.

MariaDB [(none)]

What does the none part means?

>>58042874
in what context?
where does it say that?

>>58042883
nvm I literally just found out. It displays the name of database you are currently using.

Going to my relatives soon and I know I'll get asked to look at their windows 8.1 laptop because its slow.

Any idea how to reduce disk usage? As that always seems to be being utilized by windows 8.1 in task manager and I can never find the root cause other than routine windows tasks.

>>58035089
Screw holes.

What apps will let me send my gps location from my phone to someone else via SMS?
Let say I'm in the bus, and I want to send a precise location to my mommy's phone.
of course, a free app.

>>58042981
also, android.

>>58042916
get autoruns and disable all the useless programs that start at boot

>>58042981
WhatsApp has this

>>58042981
you can long press on your location in google maps and then click share

>>58043028

thanks

Already done that, it just seems that windows likes to rape the hard drive (its not windows update either).

Done malware scans and everything, can't remember what file it is exactly but it was something really core to the OS. I event turned off maintenance tasks and schedule AV scans.

Problem is my tech illiterate aunt will then google "slow computer fix" and end up making it worse downloading random "fixes" from cnet.

What update fixes the "stuck on searching for updates" for win7? Or is this a feature to push people on win10?

>>58043143
WSUS offline updater
its the best way of dealing with updates on a fresh install

>>58043143
This http://wu.krelay.de/en/

Turns out you have to manually install updates first because windows update will work correctly.

>>58043159
>because windows update will work correctly.
Because windows update doesn't work correctly without them*

>Or is this a feature to push people on win10?
I think so, a very spiteful and nasty tactic on ms's part.

>>58043159
>the download link of the x86 version of an update lists all archtectures of this particular update (x64 among them).

I can't make sense of what this sentence.

>>58043309
Do you have windows 7 32 bit or 64 bit? Right click on "computer" in the start menu, click properties.

What does it say under system type? it will either be 32 bit (x86) or 64 bit.

What does it mean when someone says

"t. "

>>58043369
it's some finland word.
It says this quote is from this person

>I'm totally the good guy
t. Satan

>>58043355
The sentence wasn't saying "pick the correct version for your architecture, it was implying that each download link of the "x86 version" was somehow listing all archtechtures of the update, which makes no sense at all.

>>58043444
I means the link to the ms catalog page will also list both 32 and 64 bit versions, meaning yo need to be careful which one you select twice.

For example I just clicked a 32 bit link but the ms page lists the update for all versions.

Basically ms want less workload for their website admins.

It's an abbreviation for "terveisin", which translates to "with regards"

New thread.

Which downsides do Antergos and Manjaro have (asides from le werks/doesn't werk on my machine maymay)?

>>58043159
So I installed the updates that supposedly fixes it? How long is it supposed to take to search for updates if it works, assuming I have ~50 uninstalled updates?

So will the monthly win7 rollup packs contain all the updates ever released/repacked, assuming you already have SP1?

>>58043649
If you wanted a downside I'd say based on another distribution.
Other downside would be since it's based on arch, it comes with stuff pre installed by default, which is not really smart considering one of the point of arch linux.

Are those downsides legit ? They are somehow bullshit I think, as long as you're happy with your distribution

Is MSE an ok AV to use right now?

>>58043735
I think it's all the important ones up to the date of the most recent update pack you use. (Not sure about the optional stuff)

>>58043861
Just use Avast. I've had good experience with it.

Would two older processors be better at processing video than a processor that four or five generations newer?

I have a old Mac Pro from work that has a couple of E5520's, and I'm wondering if it's better to use for video processing than my current 6700K?

kinda weird question, but
most of the time when i sit up from my chair, or just reposition myself; my front usb's quickly and temporarily disconnects and unplugs whatever i have connected, which is super annoying when i'm talking with friends via my headset
anyone know what the fuck that is about?

Is it true that MS might deactivate your win7 license if you keep reinstalling it too many times on different machines (even if you have retail)?

Also, is there a unique identifier in each win7 disc, tying it to the license somehow? As in, would MS see that the 10 installations, all spamming the rearm activation command each month, came from my disc, or are all discs indetical?

>>58043811
The just werks/doesn't werk maymay can be applied to pretty much any distribution.
If the distro has the right user friendliness/customization etc., drivers and DE, go for it.

Does anyone know any good resources to learn Entity Relationship Diagrams? exercices with solution could help
