Scriptbabby here, writing a PYTHON SPIDER.

I'm told using '/' or '\' is very bad. So ...
So using OS module, I'm writing,


HOME = os.path.expanduser('~')
os.chdir(os.path.join(HOME,os.path.join("Documents", "Updates")))


which is clearly not ideal. Suggestions, help... wanted

How the FUCK do you electronically sign editable PDF's without using Adobe?

My browser (Chromium fork) can view and type into fields, but can't sign it while LibreOffice fucks the whole PDF's format up on opening

Hello.
I currently have 2 kits of DDR3 ram.

I use a H97 mobo with muh i5 4690. If I mix and match, would my PC / mobo's ram slots get fuck'd? I got the 8gb kit as a gift.

uBlock Origin does not block pop-ups. It either allows them to open or they open and close immediately which is annoying. Pic is my settings.

Help me /g/

I'm upgrading my PC audio, and I'm going for bookshelf speakers and an amplifier. My mobo has an optical out. Should I be looking at amplifiers/receivers with an optical input connection, or would that be pointless since I'd only be listening in stereo anyway? I feel like I'd prefer the computer recognise the amp as the "sound card" so that I don't have to adjust e.g. volume from two different places, but that would only work with a digital (USB) or optical connection.

tl;dr stereo analog amplifier or digital/TOSLINK-equipped amplifier?

Optical receivers I've used added significant latency. Maybe they're better now. Never tried a USB. Internal card will always have the least latency. I noticed significant improvement with my $20 Xonar vs onboard. I'm liking my DTA-1 amp. The Lepai I got for the other room is noisy when not playing anything and the included power supply has no registration marks, not even a fraudulent CE one.

For anything non-interactive, you could just offset things if the audio ends up being out of sync. It's really not much of a problem even with the delay. I used to play video games on my dad's system like that. The tv lagged too because it was DLP.

>>58563923

I have a very big problem with my new Mac Mini.
There are three "Keychains" that use "Keys" to for example write or read something on the keychains.

Now here's my problem:

There are three keychains:
Registration (to log in and use the mac)
local objects (to access iCloud, which basically does everything)
System

iCloud and other applications are trying to access the keychain and want me to enter the password for "local" objects".
The problem is that I haven't set one and can't give iCloud permissions over keychain management.

I have a pair of Xeon microprocessors that I'm considering getting a motherboard for, but I don't know it they are worth putting back into service. The markings on the bottom are '2800DP/2M/800'. I assume these are clock, cache, and bus specs. They are pulls from a Dell PowerEdge2850. Any board recommendations? Is it even worth it?

I have never used that feature, is it just a way to draw your name in the pdf or does it do something special?
Because if you have some time, then why not draw it a bunch of times in inkscpape, save it as tikz and insert it in the documents you have to sign.
This way, you cannot extract the signature as an image, the signature is stored as a text file you can encrypt however you'd like and it is easy to embed.

Any player that can play two subtitles from .MKV file at the same time? Bonus: can be fed two .SRT and play them simultaneously.

Or how do I achieve this with VLC? Googled and the result is very sketchy, a plugin to create extra window with subtitles (which I would also have to extract from the file). Easier would have been just to brute-merge two subtitle files into one, but I don't want to do this.

I don't think they monitor the network directly unless something happens, but we have found a few back door ways into restricted sites at work, and it's usually patched up after a few weeks.
Maybe I'll give this to someone who I know will abuse it and let them test it for me.
Otherwise I'll only use it when absolutely necessary and not access personal accounts. I kinda just wanted it to be able to stream some videos on my work network. I can connect my personal laptop and not have to sign in to access the network so the only way my network admin would be able to know it was me is if he walked in to see me with his own eyes and they rarely get out of their offices so that's not likely.

Unfortunately it's not that simple. IPS monitors allow for far less washed out colors than the standard TN pannels, and tend to cover a little more range on the sRGB scale, but in order to find more true to life colors you need to buy or borrow a calibrator, which generally cost $80+

Pic related is an exam question that I'm struggling with. (Don't worry, you aren't doing my homework - this is a past paper that my lecturer didn't provide answers for)

My first issue is whether or not it's okay to have noncontiguous equivalence classes. For example, for the "contains" method, is it okay for my classes to be
>True: record with personID is in list
>False: record with personID is not in list
Or do I need to specifically divide the integers into contiguous segments?

My second issue is with side effects. For the add method, for example, my list is
>true: personID or name not in list
>false: personID in list
>false: name in list
however, this only tests the return value of the method, not the side effect (actually adding the record to the list)
Since EQ partitioning is a black box technique, am I supposed to only go off the return value and not bother checking if the item was actually added to the list?

>>58565193

>>58565485
I already do that. A password is not the same as a mobile authentication code.

>>58565735
You only have to do the authentication code once per client, so if you authenticate once on your home PC you won't need to do it again unless you reinstall your OS or the Steam application.

>>58565735
>>58565769
To add, trust me, you will want that 2-step authentication on. It's for your own protection. I turned mine off because I felt the same way about it as you, it was annoying to have to do it, but I'm not kidding when I say 6 days after I turned it off my account got hacked by Russians.

Order this bad boy for my first PC build:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133315&cm_re=thermalake_p3-_-11-133-315-_-Product

The only issue is the riser cable. I order the case without one just because of all the horrible reviews (would either work, won't work, would work but at like half performance or make your motherboard explode) So it seemed like a waste of money to me.

My question would be is it worth trying to buy another riser cable but from a different brand? If so, any particular one? I think the aesthetic is cool having the GPU mounted vertically instead of horizontal, but for a $1000+ build, is it worth the risk?

if i have two monitors and i use the primary one to play a game in fullscreen mode, can i still watch a youtube video/use skype/read a guide on the second one?

i know that i'd have to alt tab out of fullscreen to interact with something on the second monitor, for example write something in the skype chat on the secondary monitor, but just simply letting a video or or letting a skype call run should work without problems right?

my other question is: if i'm choosing to play in borderless mode, is there an option to prevent the cursor from going to the second monitor? is there a way to make it so that i'd have to press a hotkey or something like that, which would make the cursor "jump" to the secondary monitor so to speak and would i need a program for that or is that already a feature in windows?

please help me /g/

>>58565974
Do you shut your computer completely off or put it to sleep? If you put it to sleep, it is cumulative. I'm not sure if the Windows 8/10 Fast Startup (turned on by default, it's just Hibernate with a fancy name but replaces Shutdown if enabled) keeps your uptime going or not.

If you actually shut your computer off but Fast Startup is enabled, try just shutting it off and turning it back on again and check if it's still at 103 hours. Then try turning off Fast Startup and doing it again and see if it resets.

First time linux user.
I just made a script in emacs, how do i save it so that i can just double click it and it runs right away from terminal rather than opening a file or running it from terminal?

Please help me find a wireless router that:

supports ddwrt(or comparable open firmware)
is at least N300 (no WRT-54*s)
is under ~$75 (refurbished/used is acceptable)
doesn't have horrible reviews (like refurb Asus RT-N66R on Newegg which would otherwise qualify)

I've been searching for fucking days, why is this market so fucked up?

>>58566012
>can i still watch a youtube video/use skype/read a guide on the second one?

Yes it will work fine, that's what multiple monitors are for.

>if i'm choosing to play in borderless mode, is there an option to prevent the cursor from going to the second monitor?

It already won't unless you're in a pause menu where the cursor is enabled, pretty much just any menu that is Escape by default. So if I was playing BF4 in Borderless Fullscreen mode like you are referring to, I can just press Escape to open the pause menu and move my cursor outside the window and do whatever and then come back and it will re-lock once I leave the menu.

>>58566012
It depends on each game and each program that you run. A lot of video programs will pop out of full screen mode if you do anything on the other screen. And games each have their own way of handling it. I've had some success with the play/pause buttons on my keyboard working from within games

You can have stuff displayed on the second monitor, just not interact with the mouse locked to the game. I sometimes use a gamepad to play something else on the second monitor while waiting for Elite: Dangerous to let me do stuff.

You really shouldn't. Many plastics and coatings are damaged by alcohol. Microfiber and water is the best way. Distilled/RO water for minimal streaks.

Hey /sqt/. I forgot the power cable for my monitor and left it someplace where it's not gone, but it is a significant drive away. Are they universal/adaptable? I was wondering if RadioShack or Wal-Mart, the only two nearby stores that carry tech stuff, might have a replacement I can get.

The sane thing would be to install gnu/linux on your SSD, but if you want to keep it on your usb, you could install everything, including grub on the usb drive.
I know windows takes up an insane amount of space, but try to clean up as much as you can, and make a partition from within windows.
Use the HDD as a storage drive, both operating systems can access.

It runs 4k videos, locally, but it sometimes lags, tears, and shows artifacts.

For YouTube, it lags hard... Seems to not load or something. I don't know, but once it does... It acts weird, but not as weird as local.

>>58566529
the universal kit isn't super expensive IIRC, and they have different power outputs and many generic sized cable ends, so one of them should work with your stuff.

k then just research dd-wrt compatible models and find that one wow so hard amirite? $75 is still the top-end just for an N300. You can get an AC (albeit possibly without beamforming depending on the model, depends on your own judgement whether this is a dealbreaker) router for like $90

>>58566287
To add, I've had that router with dd-wrt v24 and it's been rock solid for my parents, but I will agree with you it's hit or miss somewhat because I also bought a 2nd one, and that one worked just fine for my home but when I gave it to a friend without changing anything on the firmware, it locked up every 12 hours for him.

The one at my parents' house is rock-solid and hasn't failed once.

But I never said I was recommending that router to you, just showing you an example of how commonplace N300 routers are to counter your claim of "the market being fucked up"

>>58566491
You just need a power brick with the right connector, voltage and at least as many amps as it needs. Too many amps shouldn't be a problem.

>>58566590
Doubt overclocking would make a difference. That card just wasn't designed with 4k in mind. For video a newer but weaker card would probably serve you better. Even the integrated graphics on a haswell or skylake processor would do the job

How much are they charging? You can get one from Amazon for $13 shipped if you have Prime.

No your slots will not fuck up, all it will do is run every stick at the frequency of the slowest stick, which in your case, since you can only achieve 1333mhz somehow, that's what they will all run at. You may or may not run into stability issues though.

If it still doesn't work after that, I'm not sure what to tell you other than just rip the DVD you have, or torrent the same version in ISO format and run their tool.

Are all of the ports USB 3.0? If that's the case then that's why you need this tool, because 7 does not have native support for USB 3.0 chipsets. You will have to do this every time if that's the case, or upgrade to 8.1/10.

So I'm still not sure what I should be looking for. There are a couple of adapters at RadioShack but I'm in over my head here. Even Acer's own site only says "110-220V" for power, and that's the most detail I can find.

>>58566840
Um this is exactly what I just said >>58566810 about windows 7 not supporting USB 3 ootb, dumbass. Of course it's not going to work because you always have to install USB 3 drivers for any system that uses an XHCI chipset, and skylake mobos almost exclusively use it.

2. Make Windows Firewall entries for open ports if it doesn't work after verifying

no, you'll want to wipe the partition it's on and reinstall GRUB to the master boot record. Other than that you'll be fine.

Why not virtualize it though if you aren't familiar with this stuff, at least then you can just virtualize a dual-booting scenario to practice. If you're trying different distros you should definitely be virtualizing or booting from a flash drive, not installing to the hard disk.

The bottom grill is where I want to install an intake fan. The brackets of the fan will point upwards

>>58567729

This help any: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372 ?

>>58567750
I can't really tell, is it a flat surface or is the grill raised?

In any case, if the impeller blades are touching the grill, you could install washers between the fan frame and the case.

>>58567775
The grill is raised, actually. If I install washers, wouldn't that lessen the effect of the fan?

>>58567750
You are trying to put a intake fan in the bottom?
Why not the top?

>>58567796
It will lessen the effect obviously, but that's probably the only way you're going to be able to mount a fan there unless you want to do some modding.

>>58567807
Having the intake on the bottom would give my GPU fresh air, since the GPU fan is facing down.

>>58567829
And all the dust possible.

Not if you have a reason to have 2 or more monitors.

>>58567839
Dust will get inside regardless. I clean often. That is beside the point.

>>58567842

Depends on what you want to do. I love having dual monitors at work so I can perform various tasks without having everything scrunched up on one screen. For me, it's a matter of comfort...

>>58567827
Hmm. Alright. So I assume there are no fans with reversed air flow?

>>58567839

trying to install grub from mint usb. keep getting
''grub-install.real: error: failed to get canonical path of `/cow'.''

>>58567885
They exist, but you'll have trouble finding them.

>>58567925
Do you already have Mint installed on the hard drive? If so, is it installed to /dev/sda? or an sdb?

>>58567925

http://askubuntu.com/questions/254491/failed-to-get-canonical-path-of-cow Should apply cleanly to Mint as well...

mint isn't installed, windows is on sda (ssd) I'll try the chroot thing thanks

>>58568028
Plug in some kind of computer that can stream stuff. There's some very small and cheap ones now.

>>58568028
Cableless? You're going to need something to cast to then like a Chromecast or a Miracast adapter/TV with one built in and just cast the media over. Don't screen-cast though, it's shit and will be delayed as shit.

>>58568035
You cannot chroot then to do so, since you have no OS to chroot to

>>58568028
Cables are the cheap solution.

Expensive would be buying a streaming stick/device/Android box.

I have a low end i5-3470, is it worth it to upgrade to the i7-7770k or wait for ryzen to see if there is a price war? Either way, I'll need a new mobo, ram, psu, etc. This is for super gaymen btw.

>>58568079
>Gaming
You dont need a I7 at all.

I5-6700K is what you are looking for.

Waiting is a good idea since you have somewhat decent hardware right now so youre not in a hurry.

Why don't they make video cards like little motherboards where you pick all the parts like gpu memory and stuff?

when it says a motherboard can only support RAM at xxxx frequency when its overclocked, does that mean when you overclock the CPU?

i have a lenovo t420 can i run gtav

>>58568097
performance and compatibility issues

>>58568097
It would not be in a convenient and easily workable form factor.

>>58568099
No only the RAM.

You need turn XMP in BIOS, thats it.

>>58568103
No, Maybe if you got a external GPU.

>>58568097
Not worth it and sounds like compatibility hell.

>>58568051
oh, what should I do then?

>>58568091
Cool thanks. Is there any real info on ryzen or is it all speculation right now. I went with Intel last time because the SSE 4.1 required for PSX2, but i heard AMD has that instruction set now.

>>58568130
Pure rumors for now and not enough info to tell if it will be good yet.

Any idea what you wanna buy yet?

I assume a GTX 1070, I5-7600k, A good Z270/Z170 motherboard, a 650W PSU, a 850 EVO or a M2 SSD, and some good cooling like Noctua NH-D15.

>>58568110
>external gpu
>look it up on youtube
holy shit, can i just make a decent pc with 200 dollars

>>58568149
You might need a dock so add another $20-40.

Ask in /tpg/ for more info about it.

Why the hell are LGA 1366 motherboards so expensive all these years later?

They're like 7 years old now.

>>58568145
I already have a GTX 970 and 2 SSDs. So if intel, a Z270 mobo, 650 PSU and a good fan, along with memory and CPU.

>>58568149
Also remember T420 is a business laptop not a 24/7 gaming PC.
Its a laptop, dont put it on heavy loads if you dont wanna make it have a hardware failure.
Remember to repaste and clean the heatsink fan since it will get really hot from the intensive loads.

>>58568162
Because they stopped being made 5 years ago and new ones dont exist.

>>58568170
I wouldn't classify a GTX 970 as high end gaming but alright.

8-16GB DDR4 and the I5-7600K then.

>>58568161
no an acutal pc not upgrade the laptop

>>58568170
That's if Ryzen looks bad. I loved my Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition and wish amd would hurry up and be relevant on the cpu front again, outside of htpc's like the a10 series.

>>58568196

>5-6 Years and still working good enough
Im about to upgrade to a I5-4460 though.

>>58568117
What do you need grub for if you have Windows only?

>>58568170
I probably wouldn't wait if I were you. Nobody knows if Ryzen is going to be any good, especially for the cheaper models. Intel has been the preferred choice for a good while now, and until AMD proves otherwise they're still the king

Where can I post my resume for a CS internship on the internet for review?

>>58568187
>I wouldn't classify a GTX 970 as high end gaming but alright.
Partially joking about the high end part, as I mostly play WoW and emulate. But I do have a 144mhz monitor and wow is very cpu heavy. I'll upgrade gpu later in the year when either the 1000 series gets a price cut or amd serves up something better in a good TDP package.

>>58568217
>especially for the cheaper models
If it can at least keep up, I'll splurge on the top end. Agree with the intel is king for gaming though.

>>58568254
Just run the installer, I mean you do have to install Mint first, not the bootloader first. It will install grub for you at the end.

>>58568264
will that delete my windows install though?

>>58568274
You have to shrink your windows partition, and then make a partition for Mint with that free space. I suggest booting into Windows first and doing the shrink there, then reboot back into the Mint installer and choose the new partition as the target to install to. Then it will install grub and you will have two OS's listed to choose from at boot. That's literally it.

>>58568296
wow thank you anon, i feel dumb now

Is it fairly well-known that Firefox is an incredibly sluggish piece of shit on Windows 10? I just switched from Linux and this is practically unusable.

Unfortunately, Firefox has addons that Chrome doesn't so I need to make this shit work better.

>>58568304
This is why we usually suggest doing this first in Virtualbox and following a dual-boot guide, and then once you are confident enough to do it for real, do it on the hardware.

With a VM, if you fuck up you can just start over. If you fuck up your real-life Windows partition you will have to start your whole computer over.
