What is good clothing to wear when programming

>>58522635
Yeah I've tried doing the whole ipconfig /renew steps to fix it and it spits out this error. "An error occurred while renewing interface Ethernet : unable to contact your DHCP server. Request has timed out." DHCP is definitely turned on in the router, I checked.

To add though, if I try going to the router address (192.168.1.1) it tries to point me to the LuCI OpenWRT login instead and the Linksys Smart Wifi thing simply says it's unavailable. I'm thinking that maybe the flash from OpenWRT to OEM was dirty in someway and there is a weird conflict occurring between the two. This might be nothing however.

Tesla Unread alternative for rooted devices? Tesla doesn't support all applications and I'd rather not have notifications enabled just so it can scrape them. Which defeats the purpose of it in the first place.

>>58522816
What are you talking about? If you're not rooted, nothing will happen. If you're rooted, nothing will happen unless it has root access which it will have to ask SuperSU for anyways. Just use an antivirus like Malwarebytes. That should be all you need and you're good.

Or install it on Bluestacks or Nox (?) first to test it, but you don't need to go that far.

>>58522810
Yes, which is fixed with a clean windows install if its a Thinkpad series laptop.

Why do I keep getting hangup phone calls from random local restaurants late at night?

Is there some program someones using to call me and make it appear like whatever number they want or some weird shit?

They always call twice, and only twice, exactly 1 min apart.

>>58523061
Impossible. Well, possible, but some neckbeard won't be doing it.

I used to get those too. They're robots. I answered one time and they said press 1 to never get a call again and surprisingly it worked. They too called from random numbers all the time. So it was, in theory, impossible to stop them.

The others just keep calling. I use MrNumber or whatever it's called. It's shit, but it blocks the call in a way that they can't leave voicemail. Which they do to spam the shit out of me and my notifications. It works for most spam, but I set it to contacts only and now I don't even worry about it. No issues anymore.

>>58523061
You installed an app and sold your phone number to a company.
Your phone is in the botnet, those are all bot calls.

Im not kidding.

Think of email spam mail but with calls and more annoying.

>>58523111
But how are they coming from the landline numbers of local restaurants?
Some aren't even closed when they call.

>>58523131
>>58523111
Well Honestly, that's very comforting.

I'm paranoid to an unhealthy level, so my mind instantly went to very dark places.

So, i have this old Sony Vaio laptop with Intel Pentium B980 cpu and Radeon HD 7650M card.
My video card died a few days ago and now I can only use the laptop for browsing internet/watching non-hd videos in 1024x768 resolution.It says its using Microsoft Basic Adapter on devices.
My questions are- Can i just used my processor as a video card since apparently the B980 cpu supports Intel HD graphics and if yes, why cant i install the HD graphics drivers from intel on it?(i get "this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software " error)

does anyone else occasionally get into a loop of the same 2 or 3 songs on youtube when using autoplay? i know it sounds stupid, but none of my friends have had it happen before, but yet its happened to me quite a few times

How did you fix it

>>58524137
Try GParted. (Also included on the basic Ubuntu live USB if the GParted live USB doesn't work for you, mention because it didn't for me for some reason.) Should be able to sort out stuff like that easily.

>>58524201

Get a linux bootable USB (any distro, try mint).

No.

T400 IGPU only works with one external and one internal not 2 externals.

Ask in /tpg/.

Make a linux USB(Linux mint and use rufus to make it bootable), boot on it and if HDMI works your driver derped and you have to reinstall it.

Anyone have any experience using spss?

I need to filter the rows in a particular dataset according to whether the value of a variable in a given row matches any value of that variable in a separate dataset.

So say I have dataset1:
Procedure
5
7
1
8

And dataset2:
Procedure...date...time
1...2011...4:00
1...2012...3:00
2...2008...2:00
3...2008...4:00
7...2016...6:00
5...2013...5:00
6...2011...7:00

So after filtering dataset2 by comparing its Procedure values to those listed in dataset1, I'd get:
Procedure...date...time
1...2011...4
1...2012...3
7...2016...6
5...2013...5

Basically, all the rows in dataset2 whose Procedure value didn't correspond to one listed in dataset1 were deleted.

Anyone have any suggestions on the commands / syntax I could use to achieve the above?

thanks, /g/

>inb4 "you tell me :^)"

>>58525409
you really should peel them all because if you steam them not all bacteria may have died, unlike if you had hardboiled them. That said if you leave them sealed they hold for a couple days, marinated in any sodium should be longer, but you honestly should just pickle them instead if you wanna make large amounts of eggs and want them to keep. There's tons of things to pickle them in, including soy and ginger, you can find recipes online.

Can I make a RAID from different partitions on the same drive?

>>58525664
Yes

>>58525027
I think that competing with USB which kept the same form factor and was adopted more widely by PC manufacturers was what did it. Making a backwards compatible connector that used the same port made USB much more attractive. Companies that didn't want to use it went with USB to proprietary adapters anyway.

>>58525664

All the troubleshooting options give nothing, windows says it cannot be repaired, refreshing the OS cannot be done from USB, and it says I cant even do a full reset because "this option is not supported when the PC is started using a recovery position"

>I plan to move my media over to 2 x 4TB HDDs in RAID1, is it a good idea to RAID1 my SSD with my now leftover 1TB HDD?

Okay so my only experience with linux is Hirens / Medicat and Mini XP/7/10 that we use at work for data recovery and testing HDD's.

What is the advantage of installing an actual distro on my pc as opposed to booting into on off a usb drive?

If I just use my PC for gaming why would I want linux? I have a spare 128gb ssd lying around and im bored as shit so if anyone can recommend distro to try out I will give it a shot

>>58526163
Raid is not a backup. You want to back up to an external source, and every time you update that backup you want to scan for any differences like bitrot. Otherwise you're just copying over errors as they happen

>>58526201
Try out Elementary. Jast whirks.

>>58526201
Mint. Ubuntu is the most compatible linux for gaming, and mint is ubuntu without the bullshit

>>58526209
I guess I'm looking for protection against fucked up drives. So the best configuration would be RAID1 with external backups?

>>58526101
GPU. Even went back in and reconnected everything. Ive xhecked all inputs and ports. Nothinf is visibly damaged. Monitor just says "No Signal Detected" on everything i try. I wrapped the HDMI cable on itself in an over under fashion but i always do that and have no problems. Could this have damaged it? I dont have another cable

>>58526218
Mint is ubuntu with more bullshit, the fuck you on about.
Flash
Samba
Everything

>>58526232
I'd forget about raid. It's too easy for data to get fucked up within a single system and for you to not even know about it.

>>58526152
Yeah I was planning on installing the important updates first then go through optional updates at a later time. Also thanks for the link.

I normally have a backup of every one of my disks but I have a gut feeling something bad's about to happen and want to download as much animeme as possible. This means no backup. I've actually never experienced a hard drive failure so I don't know how they actually fail, I mean whether they die slowly and gracefully or without warning.

In anons experience how do they tend to fail? How likely is it one day when I plug my animeme hard drive it completely refuses to spin and all is lost?

>>58526291
It's always possible that the cable is busted in some way. I'd try another one if you have it. There are a lot of other things it could be too

Unity, the opt out data reporting fiasco, etc. Mint is a good choice for gaming.

Kaspersky, Avira or AVG? Free versions.

>>58526321
Run crystaldiskinfo, it will be obvious if you're at increased risk. There's always a small chance that any drive could fail without warning, to the tune of a few percent per year

>>58526321
Only time I've ever witnessed a hard drive failure was when my brother was trying to update his Macbook Pro and the update apparently bricked the hard drive.

I maintain that mint is the easiest introduction to linux, but if he wants to install stock ubuntu and swap out unity for cinnamon then I can't argue with that.

harddrives don't just fart and fail like that. Just take into account that the typical consumer hard drive is not meant to be spinning all the time, whereas the typical NAS harddrive can deal with that. Some drives also start failing more gracefully so you have time to detect it and save your shit before it breaks down completely. Examples would be if the drive would suddenly come up with bad sectors, or when files start becoming randomly corrupted.

If you're really worried about dying drives, just replace them every 5-6 years. Even though they might live much longer than that, I have 10 year old drives here that aren't showing any sign of decay yet.

>>58526786

cat alist.txt | sort -n > alist.txt

>>58525664
You COULD. But this offers literally and absolutely no benefit.

The one drive is still a single point of failure, so there's no increase in data security.
The one drive still only has one head per platter, so there's no gain in speed.

This is amusingly retarded.

I just opened up my computer to replace my motherboard after having watched a fuck ton of youtube videos on the subject.

But when I actually looked at where my fans were connected it turns out they all run to this multi-connector thing on the back.
I have not prepared for this.

Do I need to do anything special to get this to work with my new set up?
I do currently have 4 fans installed and my new motherboard only has 3 non-cpu fan slots.

>>58527196
You probably responded to the wrong post :D

But that multi connector thing is probably your Power Supply Unit (PSU).
Could you give me the name of your Computer case and mainboard?

Also please provide a screenshot where it's possible to see a bit more of your setup, it's hard to locate anything in this one

>>58527230
>>58527196
That's not a power supply you dingus, that's a fan hub. You plug in all your fans to it and you plug a power cable into the hub in order to power the fans. Read your case's manual or whatever.

Don't wanna bother making a thread.
What are your overclocking routine?
Getting a i5-7600k today, gonna overclock manually for the first time.
Was gonna start at 1,3v and 4,8ghz and do a 4 hours stress test in asus realbench and repeat until reaching stable 80-85c at max load and see how far I can push it.

Any tips or inputs for a first timer.

I'm not sure of how to find out what case I have, but my current motherboard is a GA-EP35-DS3 which I'm replacing with a Z170A Gaming Pro Carbon.

Here's a picture of the current setup, I haven't started taking things out yet.

>>58527276
I see.
Does that mean that my motherboard can't control the speed of my fans?
Would the be running a top speed all the time?

Also I don't have my manual, my PC was built by someone else a long time ago.

>>58527308
Nothing's stopping you from plugging in your fans to the motherboard. You could use a fan splitter for the front two fans that I assume are installed.

>>58527304
Will it really allow me to smoothly push 4,9ghz/5,0ghz?
Don't trust no auto shit

>>58527327
You asked me how I OC. I'm not chasing 5GHz, but what you're doing sounds like standard procedure. Might want to do a overnight/24-hour stress test when you think you've reached your final settings.

>>58527308
The name of the manufacturer is most of the time printed somewhere on the case, either outside or on the inside (inside is rare tho in my experience), from there on you'll have to put in some google work to find the correct manual for your case.
You could also always ask the person who build your PC if you still have contact with them.

There's probably controllers built into your case so you can still control fan speed.
You could always plug them into your motherboard, there should be small pins on your mainboard labeled with "Case fan" or something similiar.

First time I've seen a fan hub, didn't even know that those are a thing.

Accidently hit enter.

Anyways, what I wanted to ask if it seems like a viable system for the workload I'll be putting it at.

All other parts (case, PSU, RAM, drives) I either already have or are cheap enough not to matter. Except the drives, I'll have to buy those in increments.

Seeing as I'm a third worlder, a brand new AM1 system with an Athlon 5350 would be almost twice the price of the used mobo and CPU I just listed, and performance should be comparable if not worse in that case. I'm already saving up for a new graphics card so I'm kind of strapped for cash. What do you guys think is the best course of option?

>>58522708
I'm about to buy a gaymin notebook.

I have 2 options to go with the CPU
either i7-7700 or 7700K.

I don't mind sight price difference. The clock variation (3.6 compared to 4.2) seems relatively small while the slowe CPU consumes 30% less energy thus will produce a lot less heat.

Should I even consider taking K version if I'm not going to overclock something that already can burn a hole in my desk?

Is 7700 efficient enougth to deal with current vidyas at ultra? (configuration comes with gtx1070 and 32DDR4)

I just thought taking K-less version will reduce my stress about the temperatures. Am I rite?

After a bit of sleuthing I found out that I have the NZXT 630 Phantom.

Anyway, mystery solved, thanks guys.

>>58527564
If you are planing on keeping it for atleast a couple generations it would probably be worth it in the long run to get the K with the higher clock speed. You could always underclock it if it gets too hot. 7700 will be fine tho.

if you're replacing a standard HDD, just go for a 2.5" SATA.
the thing is, you will notice a significant gain in loading speeds (OS) from upgrading HDD->SSD, but when it comes to different brands, the difference is not that noticeable anymore, so given choice of a "performance" and and "value" SSD, I wouldn't bother spending more.
a Crucial BX100 series or Samsung 850 Evo (without the Pro) is probably the best choice here.

if you want to go a (noticeable) step further and performance is the absolute must for you, you'd want an m.2 SSD drive. but that costs more and you would be limited to the architecture of your motherboard (not every mobo supports it).

best refer to the logical increments guide if you want to know more.

what would you be using the laptop for?

gaming? then the base 7700 would be perfect. you wouldn't need to overclock because it already has enough power

video/photo editing/rendering/modelling/data mining?

then get the K. hyperthreading allows for a ton of processing but with an overclock you could eek out a bit more.

but, it's a laptop and there's not much room for cooling, especially with a power hungry GPU/CPU combo like that. so if you buy the K and overclock it, get ready to deal with a heat pump.

>>58528527
turbo boost works by overclocking your CPU, to the Max Frequency (probably 4.4GHz in your case) by doing 133MHz steps. downside of that is if it goes over your standards clock speed it will shut down cores to compensate the extra energy/temperature. so when it OC to 4.4GHz it will shut down all cores but one.

that's useful for these applications which require speed but don't utilise extra cores

http://www.howtogeek.com/227093/how-to-block-an-application-from-accessing-the-internet-with-windows-firewall/

Disabling the connection works, but I need to use the internet sometimes in the middle of whatever I am doing.

>>58529530
just use keygen

>>58529234
Yeah if it continues to try and update without meaningful credentials for the server it could just sit there and run.
>Like a pizza guy who gets a delivery call. However the owner moved directly after placing the call. The pizza guy is an idiot and stands at the door ringing the bell until the next homeowner's buy the house and move in. The deliver-er asks if they ordered a pizza. They say no and the driver gets in his car and leaves.

Sorry for the masculine gender assumptions throughout.

This is an install from 5 years ago. The message started recently because they changed their detector or something.

most effective method at eliminating HDD vibration noise in aluminium PC cases? I've got a Lian Li PC-09 and it seems to be a rare enough case, so I haven't run into any people people talking about and solving my issue. I temporarily suspended it (the HDD) with elastic yesterday and whilst I could still hear all the clicks, whirs and clunks clear as ever (it's a v. noisy wdc wd4004fzwx-00gbgb0), the "bass"-like omph behind each noise caused from the case vibration was dramatically decreased; it's already got rubber bits on all the screws and I've tried putting the HDD in the middle and top/bottom of the bay to see if that would make a difference, which it didn't

pls

this is driving me (and my main worry is my neighbours, whose master bedroom is adjoined to my office wall [I can hear it in my bathroom which is also connected to said office]) absolutely fucking insane

Web dev, or a high level language business software job. Also, you can learn to work with your hands and not end up being the Time Warner guy. You will be crawling around a lot and plugging in wires though.

How fucked is my shit if I try to restore a drive image from one hardware config to another?

Will the old image having wrong drivers for everything cause boot issues or can I boot in and safely delete/upgrade drivers?

Specifically I want to transfer a Windows 7 install that's not tainted by Windows 10 shit but still has several years of patches under its belt. I'd love to avoid doing a clean install of 7 on a new machine if possible.

Is there any way to make my microphone pick up the computer's sound output? I had a mic that malfunctioned and accidentally did it, and I found it to be useful.

OK so I'm a private torrent tracker and I want to be able to seed and be able to use music files at the same time without having to create two copies of the same files just to seed them.

I have my music download folder set up in MusicBee but whenever I try to change any metadata such as tags the file itself changes and obviously that conflicts with the torrent client and it goes back to an incomplete download whenever I restart my client and it goes over the metadata I have changed.

What can I do to resolve this? This is probably a really stupid question.

Hi everyone.

I have a PNG image that I need to display on some LEDs. I need to convert the image into python so that every pixel of the PNG is reflected in the LEDs.

It's basically 3 LEDs strips each 25 LEDs in length. I was wondering what approach should I use to display my different section of the PNG on the LEDs using python. Anyone familiar with LED lights programming?

Thanks!

>>58529831
You mean, as in mix in the computer sound output with the input of the microphone?

>>58529530
Go into your hosts file and add the adobe license check domain for the edition of Photoshop you're using.

>>58529918
convert the image using imagemagick or anything similar to a bmp (or any other uncompressed bitmap format), with the size of your led "display". Parsing a bitmap file should be easier to do.

>>58530044
thank you, can I display successively different part of that bitmap to make an animation?

I mean if I'm listening to music, and I'm in say a skype call, the other people will hear it.

how do I set XFCE to automatically mount stuff with full read/write/execute permission?

My old man gave me his laptop to fix. He's forced the charging port often, it's a single pin deal.

I took it to a repair shop. They've opened it and said it needs to be repaired or it won't work anymore as looking at the motherboard means you have to remove all the charging connectors.

They're wanting to charge £120 for the repairs, but I've said I just want the laptop back in the condition I brought it in as it's not worth spending that amount of money.

They're saying they can't. I'm calling total BS on that.

I signed a waver regarding data loss but nothing stating if we fuck up your conputer mechanically we don't have to repair it if you don't wanna fix the original problem.

In my mind they've put it into a worse state than when I than when I took it.

Advice? I'm saying I'll get it fixed for like £70 but they're being funny and want £80. Sound like cowboys to me.

>>58530187
Download Voicemeeter, set it to mix your mic and Stereo Mix and set the input mic for any software as Voicemeeter output

This wouldn't work if the audio output is via a USB though.

>>58529972
It worked. Every single search only told me to use the firewall. Thanks, damn.

So i'm trying to get my onedrive set back up and i keep running into this problem. It tells me to sign in with the other account, which doesn't have a name or anything just "", and when i try to unlink the accounts it does not give me the option.

I already tried resetting it, didn't work. How can i fix this?

I'm trying to install RAM into my new motherboard.

I got two sticks for dual channel, but while looking at the manual the two slots next to each other is apparently same channel but it's recommended to install them in every other slot like dual channel configurations are usually positioned.
They are not color coded so that's no help.

It's a Z170 Pro Gaming Carbon.
Any idea of how I should install them?

>>58530677
Doesn't matter one bit, it would make hardly any difference

Just slam them in there

>>58530677
One and three, or two and four.

>>58530677
>l but it's recommended to install them in every other slot like dual channel configurations are usually positioned.

I'd do that. If the BIOS doesn't recognize dual channel, then try the other.

>>58530497
check out franz, it's a multi protocol messenger, sort of like pidgin but better and not ugly as sin

>>58530741
franz messenger? Is it on the google play store?

>>58530757
no, I thought you wanted something for the desktop

>>58530701
>>58530720
>>58530721

I just fucking realized that dual channel means putting them into two different channels and not two ram sticks per channel.

Fuck, I'm an idiot, thanks anyway.

>>58530741
>>58530757
ohhh it's a desktop app

I see

Got to thinking, what is the oldest computer that could still be able to browse the internet?

Probably using something like Lynx I'm guessing.

>>58530677
You install them the way the manual says.
If you have two sticks go for DIMMs 2 and 4, this way each stick is on a separate channel.

>>58530497
Matrix is hands down the best messaging protocol.

The best client for most people is Riot.im, but you can even use an IRC client like Weechat to connect.

So my computer is running all programs horribly slow (videos aren't loading normally, programs freeze up and delay for minutes at a time over what they USED to be able to do with ease, sometimes even right-clicking something will cause the computer to slow down and not process it for a few seconds) and I'm trying to get through all the usual suspects of what is wrong with the thing, on the off-chance my hard drive breaking down ISN'T the cause.

It's not an error in the drive, it's not a PIO mode problem, it's not a virus (as far as I can tell), so is it just my hard-drive wearing out? Or am I missing something obvious here? I don't want you to do the work for me, just let me know if I've missed any other obvious diagnostic steps. I really want to make sure I'm taking all the chances I can before I just go and get a new hard drive, since I'll likely just buy a whole new computer at this point (everything besides the Ram and the GPU are from when I self-built it in June 2011, so it might just be time to replace the whole fucking thing, especially with tax returns coming up)

>>58531196
Yes, just go to printer options and make sure it's set to grayscale/document/b&w whatever

I tried that already countless times but this shitty printer keeps fucking it up big time.

>>58531183
Go to Resource Monitor and check for any anomalies in any of the categories

If there is nothing then yeah, chances are it's some kind of degradation of your hard drive

Will this run entirely off of a local network then? I.E. it's inaccessible outside of this home network?

>>58531520
Yes, unless your network is insecure obviously or your ports are opened.

>>58531463
It's a really shitty Seagate drive.

I would wait out the 10 hours or so it'd take unless you're planning to do a fresh install anyway

You don't have to be a girl to wear clothes, anon.

On Windows 10. Last night I was playing GTA Online and a bunch of my keys stopped working in the game. Esc, Backspace, and Enter. Since I couldn't send any messages or close the boxes I tabbed out of the game and then I stabbed a bunch of keys. The keys worked momentarily until somehow I turned on some kind of ease of access mode that was able to open the start menu, notification tray, control panel and individual control panel subitems with single keystrokes.

Since I did it by accident I have no idea how I turned it on or off. Does anyone know what the hell that was?

>>58531756
keyword: budget my friend

>>58531798
If you're on W10 they should be installed automatically.
Otherwise go to the manufacturer's website for each of your components that you need drivers for.

>>58531618
>somehow turned on ease of access mode
>ease of access
>opened multiple programs with single keystrokes

damn, hmm not sure about that one. Sure sounds like it was EASY to ACCESS those programs huh? Maybe, just a shot in the dark here, this MIGHT have something to do with
>ease of access mode

>>58531867
Annoyingly, ease of access is easier to turn on that it is to turn off.

I can spend more than that. 5400rpm doesn't sound appealing even though I might not notice the difference. I'm coming from a dying seagate 2TB 7200 rpm HDD. Should I just roll the dice and replace it with a newrer seagate?

If recuva didn't find anything on a usb pen, what else could i try?
