>>58073300
USB whats?

>>58073311
ur mum lmao

>>58073300
They do. 250 GB is 233 GiB. If you knew how to read units you wouldn't have been rused.

>>58073341
So why not just advertise it as 233GB?

>>58073356

Also, formatted space
While the total space in the drive could be 250gb, you would still have less storage available after formatting the drive

Long story short: My dad went to China on a business trip and didn't use a burner phone. He came home and synced his iPhone with his Macbook Air. I'm concerned about scary Chinese malware/spyware/whatever spreading to our other PCs (including mine).

Question: In order for chinkware to actually reach our other PCs, it would have to move via the path in pic related. That's iOS (ARM) →OSX (x86) →Linksys WRT1900 firmware (ARM) →Windows/Linux (x86). Realistically, is that kind of OS/firmware and CPU architecture hopping even possible?

Go into the BIOS and tell it to prioritise the HDD. Or the hard drive isn't bootable anymore, so just boot into a live distro and ask grub to fix it.

My question: If I work in a group of 4ish people for a university video game concepts and design course, and I contribute music to our game, do I by default retain copyrights to those assets?

My RX 470 keeps losing signal to monitor randomly when I bump the desk. I know I'm not alone because there's tons of other people on google having this problem, the difference is it seems to happen to them at random points in time, while it only happens to me when I bump my desk (which is common enough to be a problem).
There is no fucking solution to it, except for rebooting.
I'm poor and I can't believe I wasted my money on this shit, Should I just kill myself? I don't know how to return items, and I'm doubtful that the replacement GPU wouldn't have this problem since it seems to be common.

So Windows doesn't really handle high resolutions very well

I've currently got a 3200x1800 screen and there's visible blur, would putting down the resolution to 1920x1080 give me an accurate representation of how programs would scale if I had a 1080p screen or is it more artificial

>>58076163
depends what kind of scaling your monitor does

pic related, linear scaling is common, but point will give you a picture closer to that of a native monitor with half your screen resolution

>>58076326
-- also, point scalers only work well with whole multiples (2x, 3x, 4x, etc)
so for a 3200x1800 display, you'd want to use 1600x900, 800x450, etc (3200 doesn't divide evenly into 3)

>>58076326

to clarify, if you set your display to 1600x900, and it uses a point scaler, it will look pretty much like it would if you were using an actual 1600x900 display

Even then, I think I wasn't too clear with what I meant. I've got a 13.3" screen, when I launch Avidemux, it looks like this, which is absolutely tiny.

i see that program doesn't completely support higher DPI
some elements are scaled up, but others are not

if you set your machine to 1920x1080, and set the DPI to what windows calls "100%", it would look similar to if the display was 1920x1080, but a little blurrier, as it would most likely use linear scaling, since it's not a whole multiple

perhaps what you really want is just a way to use the program properly, you can try ticking the box in pic related for that program
i'm unsure exactly what it does on a high dpi display, i don't use windows so i can't test it, but if it causes the program to act as though it doesn't support high dpi, then it will probably make the program look more proper

that looks like 125%, it's a bit bigger than normal

here's the linux version, left is the normal 96dpi appearance, right is the same, but point scaled 2x
displayed unscaled on your display, the right will look almost the same as if your monitor was 1600x900

ok what the unholy fuck happened?

It's not loading any of my drives and crashes when I open My Computer...

I haven't even TOUCHED a file related to any of this shit...

I've been trying to install libraries for my compiler all night...

So, how can I fix this? Preferably without installing Win10 over itself again?

I have both school work and job work I have to do...

>>58077328
Stop abusing ellipsis you dumb nip

>>58077346
Fine, but what in the hell is going on with this?

All the drives are accessible, but none of them will load in My Computer.

>>58077328
possibly a broken/unresponsive drive, or an unresponsive mounted network share

I've done this successfully so many times yet somehow there's always an issue.

What exactly is needed to write a bootable installation ISO to a usb-stick?

sudo cp /file.iso /dev/sdb && sync

This just gives me "/dev/sdb is not a directory".

>>58077362
NVM, sorry I've been out of it. I spent like 9 hours fucking with compilers. I wasn't thinking straight

I just unplugged all my USB hubs and plugged them back in. It's working now

>>58077429
I am so fucking sick of Windows.

There's no man pages, it's fucking incredibly annoying to set up any kind of development environment, the stability is getting worse and worse, and a bunch of shit doesn't work in general.

I'm gonna switch to BSD/TrueOS after I get outta college and get some money for a new machine.

I am so fucking done with this horseshit operating system.

anyone know if the sabertooth x58 asus motherboard uses secure boot by default? I can't find the setting anywhere in BIOS

I'm looking for a joaoapps Join equivalent of Chrome for Firefox.

Basically what it does is

Send Clipboard to Phone/Other Devices (like Desktop to Laptop) and also Send Current Tab to devices (have an article I don't want to read on my phone so I push it to my desktop/laptop or vice versa)

I cannot stand chrome anymore, and while firefox is supposedly getting worse each update, it's working much better for me right now.

Any ideas?

>>58077480
>what the fuck is Kodi?
a foss media center application
aka, it's a media player and media library manager designed to be used on large displays at a distance (aka, a "ten foot interface")
>what the fuck is HTPC?
a a Home Theatre PC, a PC designed to be used in a home theatre setup, as (one of) the device(s) to play back media on your TV/projector
any PC can be one, it's just a purpose, not any particular hardware (for example, you might also say "gaming pc" or "work pc")
>What is the difference between Kodi and Cartoon HD?
i had to look it up, but cartoon hd looks like a video streaming site, there's absolutely no correlation with kodi

>TOO HIGH LEVEL FOR ME
fyi, with computers, "high level" typically means simpler/easier

I have a question about bash.

I have an inkjet printer that I want to keep from failing due to clogged inkports, and have decided to make a cron job that prints a color page about 1once a week.

when I run this command:
lp $(ls | shuf -n1)

in a directory filled with jpgs I get this error:

lp: Error - unable to access "hotnude.jpg" - No such file or directory

What is wrong with my command?

Alright /g/, I have an open 5.25 bay on my pc, I'm currently using an extra dvd drive as a placeholder.
I'm looking for something that I can use to control music/media players from across a room (think stereo remote/receiver)

>you set your machine to 1920x1080, and set the DPI to what windows calls "100%", it would look similar to if the display was 1920x1080, but a little blurrier, as it would most likely use linear scaling, since it's not a whole multiple
Tried this and everything looked ridiculously small unfortunately. Scaling up to 150% looks better since things are more normal sized, but still a bit blurry. I guess that's due to the linear scaling that you mention. I suppose it's still a good indication of how a 1080p monitor would look though? Avidemux does look better

As for the other part
>>58076730
Have you any idea why the "disable display scaling" function simply doesn't work? I thought enabling that would make the program look better, like the image on the right but it's the exact same. I tried rebooting too. As it is these icons are far too small for any real practical use

>>58077863
hdd;
small partition at the beginning for / (rootfs)
rest for /home, or rest minus space for a swap partition if you want one

ssd;
single partition for everything, or two, one for swap, if you want one

the reason is that hdd's are faster near the beginning, while ssd's are the same speed everywhere, so positioning data doesn't matter

also, let the first partition start be default (hit enter instead of "0%"), parted will align it properly that way

My Lenovo two finger scrolling has randomly stopped working

This is causing me extreme irritation. What the fuck do I do before I go out and buy a Macbook to replace this piece of shit

>>58077987
Probably driver issue. Try it with a different OS.

>>58078007
>Try it with a different OS.
What? You mean I have to do that Linux USB stuff?

Do Lenovo drivers even work on that?

I remember a few years ago I've seen a screenshot here from a part of the OSX kernel/lib source code that was calling a perl/ruby/sh (I don't remember) command line to do something trivial.

Anyone has it?

>>58078027
Forgot to say the screenshot was posted here on /g/.

>>58078016
Yeah probably. GAHNOO + Linux downloads drivers without much configuration, unless you have some real nigger chink shit wireless card or an Nvidia GPU.

>>58077545
Thanks i think i get it now, it was just low level for me.

>>58077981
>i'm pressing enter but it keeps asking for a value
i might be thinking of gdisk, which i typically use
just make it 2M, pretty safe

ext3 is legacy, it's basically a subset of ext4, in fact, in recent linux kernels, ext3 partitions are mounted with the ext4 driver. just use ext4 unless you're sharing the disk with something that only supports ext3

>>58077977
amazing anime, but i hesitate to watch it again because it pulls some heavy feels

>>58077912
i've pretty much exhausted my windows/highdpi knowledge, i don't use either
one thing you can certainly do is just set your windows resolution to 1600x900 with 100% size while using that program, that will make everything look like the "image on the right", maybe a bit blurrier if the display uses linear scaling, but the same size nonetheless

perhaps consider opening a bug to the developers of avidemux to request better dpi scaling support on windows

>>58078068
what am I doing wrong here? I labeled it as mdos and i'm trying to properly align it but can't figure out what to do

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate thread or even board but here I go:

When private sellers put stuff on Amazon for a stupidly low price, are they fishing for credit card information or what are they doing exactly? For example, some guy put an Xbox One S for 10$ but cancelled my order and now there's another new account selling it for 8$.

>>58078157
I donb't think amazon forwards the credit card info.

I got a gopro silver listed as new with a bunch of extras. WHen the order arrived, the extras did not come, I complained and amazon, gave me the refund and let me keep the $350 gopro.

In the end, gopro battery sucks though, so its sitting in a corner doing nothing.

I have a PC running an ASUS motherboard (about 5 years old). Since like 2 days, it seems to shutdown at random usually 1-8 hours after booting it up. It's apparently ASUS' anti surge protection thing to prevent power surges (as indicated by the message it gives me after rebooting).

Various forums state that Asus' anti surge is oversensitive and gives a fuckton of false positives and advise to disable it (I even found some ASUS representative saying it was safe to disable it). I'm scared to disable it though, since I don't want to potentially fry my components (I'm not sure if components other than my motherboard have any kind of voltage regulation/protection).

What would be the right thing to do? Keep in mind that verifying the PSU with a multimeter is not a valid test, since I highly doubt I'd be able to see a voltage spike on a multimeter, they usually have pretty shit update intervals. I don't have a second power supply to swap my original one with, so I can't test the PSU that way either.

yess it worked, thanks!

Would a Raspberry Pi 3 be powerful enough for Windows 10 and be able to play full 1080p films without any kind of stutter or struggle or anything?

>>58078225
Also, looking at the voltages in my BIOS shows me the following numbers:

- CPU Voltage 0.984V (stable)
- 3.3V Voltage fluctuates from 2.9xx to 3.1
- 5V Voltage hangs around 5.04 - 5.08 V
- 12V Voltage 12.384V (stable)

This, combined with the fact that the 3.3V number turns red once it drops below 2.95V leads me to believe that it may be my 3.3V voltage dipping far too low. ATX specified that the tolerance for the 3.3V line is +-5%. The numbers I get for my 3.3V line seem to fall far out of that specification. Is this the problem?

>>58078229

>one thing you can certainly do is just set your windows resolution to 1600x900 with 100% size while using that program

Am I correct in thinking that will make the rest of my device look like shit too? Windows doesn't really play nicely when you change the resolution without restarting/logging out, so as you can imagine it'd be a bit tiresome to constantly juggle back and forth between resolutions for the sake of one program

Thanks for all the help regardless mane

>>58078588

ah fuck just fucked myself over by running

Port forwarding has stopped working for me. It used to be fine until some undetermined amount of time ago.
On my router I have an "application" configured and associated with my machine's bound IP address, but for some reason the port still does not appear as open.
Anything I can do to troubleshoot this?

>>58079299
is the ip it forwards to still correct?
is your port accessible locally?
any local firewall?

Help I fucked up. I accidently used a float command for xinput on my laptops internal keyboard [in root]. Now it won't even detect my external keyboard. How do I reattach if I can't open xinput without starting X? Whe. I start X it automatically can't use a keyboard.I have another user, but I didn't get a chance to grant sudo priveledges. Using Debian.

>>58079346

Yes.

Yes.

The router has "High" firewall settings, whatever that means. Can't change it. No firewall on my local machine.

Everytime I launch Firefox I have two processes running. As far as I can remember this didn't happen before. Sometimes when I exit Firefox a window remains (but not usually) that says "about:blank" and is just white space.

I tried to duplicate the window for this thread but its a rare occurance.

Also sometimes the memory shoots through the roof, like 10 gigs of RAM on the secondary process (i have 16).

Ending one of them closes Firefox, except for those rare instances above where "about:blank" remains.

This seems like some pretty shady shit, I'm assuming its Malware of some kind, but I don't know where I would have picked it up. My days of shady porn sites are behind me, and I use Bitdefender, Windows Defender, and Malwarebytes and they don't detect anything.

When engineers working for a company are listed as the inventors on the patents they hold, do they still get royalties after leaving the company?

I know someone who has worked for some big semiconductor firms, but the average income for engineers in his position don't really match the amount of money he spends. But I do know that he's developed a few dozen patents in his field.

Well I feel stupid.

Anyway I can get it to stop using so much memory? It interferes with stuff I actually need.

>>58073300
You can find this information on the internet easily but in summary:

- Mega means 10^6 in every standard unit. So when referred as MB it should mean 8*10^6 bits since 1 byte is 8 bits according to international standard unit thingy.

- The different understanding is MiB called mebibyte. This uses exponents of 1024 instead of 10. So 1 mebibyte is equal to 8*1024^2 bits.

In the end Microsoft sticks with the MiB GiB convention and pretty much everyone else sticks with standard unit convention. And since the *iB's are larger than *B's you get lower sizes reported in Windows. It's unnecessary in my opinion.

For RAMs it's a different story. They almost always report GiB or MiB because the memory range that can be addressed is always 2^something, so it makes sense for them to use this convention. Otherwise some regions may not be addressed.

Dual boot Arch Linux with Windows 10?

could you rephrase the question?

/sqg/, I need help with teamviewer.
I'm trying to play games on it, and while latency and keyboard input are problems I've solved, the main hurdle now remains mouse input.

So you're asking for a tutorial on how to install arch on top of windows for a dual boot installation? How the hell was anyone supposed to infer that?

Anyway, judging by the fact you need to ask how, I'd suggest you instead use Antergos, which is basically an installer for Arch. Tutorial here

so very much this, more people need to be aware that anything you do or create for class, or use university facilities/tools to create automagically belong to the uni, there have been several instances of people being jewed out of their creations or scientific endeavors because they didn't realize that. just something to keep in mind when doing anything for university or using their facilities

I have a Chromebox hooked up to a TV using HDMI. After a period of time or if I switch inputs, I get no signal until I reboot the machine. I'm assuming it's from the HDMI handshake or whatever.

The Chromebox also has display port I believe. If I bought a display port go HDMI adapter, would that fix my issue? The only other input the TV has is VGA.

Is this a normal occurrence? I was gonna get a second monitor at 60hz since I only need to game on one, but if this is normal I guess I might get another 144hz one.
