/SQT/ - Stupid Question Thread: Fuck Stupid Niggers Edition 2:

Going to do a test for a competition using C++.
No sure how difficult the test will be but I basically have no experience in C/C++ but I do in C# and Java.
What are some key elements in C++ that I should know of? Also how are loops and basic functions implemented? Are they that different from Java/C#?

>>58616233
How the hell do I change the panel in Kali?

I don't even want to change the color or anything, I just want to temporarily remove it.

>>58616350
C++ is very similar to C#/Java in many ways when it comes to the basic syntax. Loop syntax is identical, same for conditions. Functions, too, are declared in much the same way. The public/private specifiers are a little bit different, however. You write "public:" followed by a list of all public functions, then "private:" and then you list out all the private ones (instead of prefixing each function with public/private). Main thing you should be aware of is pointers, something that isn't commonly used in higher-level languages. Go look those up. And read the reference for the standrad C library, it's tiny.

All right so my Laptop just broke down and I'm left with only with my PC which has Win7 because of work applications that aren't compatible with Linux. I've been thinking in installing either Gentoo or Arch, I've used Ubuntu, Mint and Solus, which was all in my laptop, I don't like the idea of Dual Booting. Is running them on a VM fine and give me the same experience in a native install?

How can I SSH into a Windows desktop with s Linux laptop

>>58616607

Dude, hire a company to build it for you, and take an active interest in how they do things, and follow them up on everything they need to know.

That way, you learn how to do it. Either that, or read Head First Web Design, which actually goes into that sort of detail.

>>58616873
You'd need to run an SSH server on Windows, but because CMD.EXE is garbage, that is kinda pointless in the first place. Use a graphical remote access tool such as teamviewer instead.

>>58616873
You can't. Enable RDP on your windows box and use rdesktop or install something like TeamViewer.

Need some clarification on what the pointer operators are in c/c++.
So does * copy the value of a particular address? Or is it dynamic? Like if the value at address 2000 changes, will the value of i* change as well?

Can a variable using & change the value of the address it's pointing to? Or is it basically used as a reference for a place in memory? What's the difference between this and a variable? It sounds a lot like a pointer to an object.

SETUP:

>Gigabyte 870A-UD3 mb
>2x4GB RAM
>1TB Seagate HDD

PC just freezes up after ~5min of use (no usage or high usage doesn't make a difference), has to be restarted manually to become usable again.
PC does NOT shut off on it's own, so I doubt it's temperature related, HWMonitor shows all temperature-readouts A-OK, highest one is the Northbridge around 80°C.
Problem occurs with both RAM sticks, tested them individually, Windows memory test at startup says RAM is fine.
Chkdsk says HDD is fine.

>Problem does NOT occur in safe mode

I don't wanna rule that out, but how do I check that? And wouldn't the PC freeze up just the same in safe mode then if it actually was a hardware-related problem?

>>58617451
Can't help with that too much, try disconnecting as many components as you can while still being to able to run the PC, maybe something will surface
cpu and mobo would be very hard to rule out, as it would be very hard to check, since you would need another motherboard and another CPU
Try to get a PSU from a friend or somehow and try maybe it's that
Might be talking out of my ass though, just saying what I would try

>>58617342

Download memtest and crystaldiskinfo do some test, also might be the PSU that is going bad, one more thing check windows logs see whats making it freeze.

They're downclocked a bit, but the performance is a lot closer than the m models that came out in previous generations

>>58618611
Temperature increasing is normal, you pump more current into something it gets hotter. Screen flickering is not, before you try anything too fancy check the cable and connectors. The cable could be fucked or just not connected properly. Try a different display connection, i.e. if you're on HDMI try DP, if you're on DP try HDMI.

So, i kinda fucked up.

I bought the MGM111 "Mesh module / radio board" but it didn't had anything to connect it to my pc. I want to use it for a Zigbee solution, but from what i've read i can't even access the emberznet stack in simplicity studio without registering a "kit", and i thought the MGM111 had that register key but i can't seem to find it anywhere.

So... am i screwed? the mgm111 has 2 20 pinned 0.5" connectors, but that's more than probably to control it with another processor. Is there any way i can control, configure and program the MGM111 by myself?

You open the Software Centre or whatever the fuck it's called these days, find the program you want and click "Install". You might not be used to the Linux filesystem set-up, which, admittedly, is convoluted as fuck for a first-timer. Unlike on Windows, where you have a "Program Files" folder that all programs install to, on Linux a software package will usually scatter files all around the filesystem. For instance -- executables will go to /usr/bin, help files - to /usr/share/man, configs to /etc.

We constantly project movies at an elderly hall and the old projector got busted, so an old, technology-avert uncle of mine decided to buy a replacement projector without asking me about it. So it turns out that the other day he brought TWO projectors:

A Dell s320wi

and a

Epson ex7240 pro

He has lots of money, so he say he wants me to choose which one should we stay with and which one do we donate to another elderly hall. The Dell seems to be a bit shittier, but it goes at a much higher price. Should i convince him to stay with that one so we can sell it and get a cheaper projector? Do we simply stay with the Dell, or do we stay with the Epson instead, even if it's cheaper?

Do you mean too SMALL? As i said, the guy is stubborn. I recommended a big TV, but he said he wanted a projector again for VERSATILITY.

I have Windows on my C: partition. It keeps fiiling up with dumb shit and running out of space and it's getting annoying to manually delete stuff all the time, and there isn't much left except for system files.
Is it possible to to mirror the drive onto a bigger hard disk so I can just swap them out and have everything work normally?

>>58620549
Cursed simpleton tools. So fun to use, so useless in the end. Like RPG Maker 2000.

>>58620474
Unlike mechanical hard drives, solid state drives can be randomly accessed without any seek time, so fragmentation only adds wear for no raisin.

>>58620571
I believe you can just clone the drive and then expand the partition.

WinDirStat can show you what's using space. It's not normal for so much data to accumulate passively. Something's fucky.

Did those files come with the program? If so, they could well be encrypted in some form or another, so that they can't be opened from the outside.

Why does my external HDD get an intermittent connection when it's connected to my motherboard's USB 3.1 ports, but not my USB 3.0 ports? Like it's connected but then after a few minutes or whatever, it starts going into this cycle where I can hear the head park and then the drive reconnects itself and then the head parks again.

I have USB 3.1 charging enabled in my UEFI BIOS so I don't think it's a power issue.

I've taken a look at the DLL file in a disassembler and I have no clue what the fuck they're doing to it. However! The program stores the decrypted file, for a very short period of time, as "ipolar.jpg" as you load the file. If you set a breakpoint on the LoadImageFile function of jpeg.dll (use, for example, x64dbg), you could extract the files that way. It would take ages, though, so I'm not doing it myself.

Ubuntu is pretty good if your computer is a means rather than an end. If you have nothing to do when everything is working, you could install Arch. It will make you feel productive/accomplished without having to put in the effort of really doing anything.

>>58621559

Is Arch hard? I'm not computer illiterate and I can follow instructions, but how difficult is arch and is there any benefit over ubuntu at all? I want to use my computer mostly for media consumption and internet browsing, I also want to make it look nice

>>58621600
Don't bother, you'll come out with the same thing anyway. Arch is basically a barebones OS in its default installation, to which you add whatever the fuck you want, while the *Ubuntu systems already have shit that a good 90% of people would want anyway preinstalled.

>>58621527

I'm on Lubuntu and want to put an ISO on an SD card how do I do that?

>>58621627
It flat out answers your question. You're just retarded.

>>58621600
Installing Arch is easier than playing a Buttbuttin's Creed game. There really is no benefit for the typical user. It's rolling and bleeding edge, but that just means you get bugs before they're fixed. I recommend Debian Testing or SUSE Tumbleweed if you want a rolling bistro. But Ubuntu with select PPAs is usually the best option for most.

>>58621630
Assuming the ISO is bootable as a hybrid image, you'll simply want to do dd if=your_file.iso of=/dev/mmcblk0. You may want to run "isohybrid your_file.iso" first to verify whether it is hybrid, and, if not, make it be so.

Alright, is Ubuntu very customizable in terms of the interface if I ever want too get into that?

>>58621675
Linux distros are basically collections of software that are made by other people. Hardly any distro developers add any actual programs that they themselves have made that are of any actual value. So, yeah, you can customise the shit out of Ubuntu as much as you could of any other distro.

What would the downsides of this be?
Assuming I have a Windows machine for work and gaming, while this Debian one would be for Internet browsing, media consumption, and whatever general computer usage.

>>58621772
Depends. For lightweight use, LXDE (Lubuntu) or XFCE (Xubuntu). For most customisability and tweakability, KDE (Kubuntu).

I mainly just wanted Debian because I sometimes need to use Tails (which is based on Debian), and if I had to choose one I'd rather go with it so I don't really have to "learn" two systems.

Tails uses the GNOME desktop environment. Get "Ubuntu GNOME" if you would like the same environment in Ubuntu.

>>58621928
I know.
I was thinking about the other differences other than the desktop environment.

>>58621800
I used to hate it too. I've switched back to it recently. It's really useful, can be tweaked to be decently pretty, and a lot of the integration into non-free things (proprietary drivers and google calendar, namely) is really useful.

If you want more of a windows-like DE, go for GNOME 3, or if that's still too far off, cinnamon/MATE/XFCE (they're equivalent, but different).

If you're on a laptop, and have mild autism, consider i3 or a similar tiling wm. i3 is the most hip one right now. It'll let you tweak shit until it works exactly the way you want. Hope you like flat appearances, no effects, and if you do add effects, that they'll be limited and slow (compton). On the upside, i3 is very suited for productivity and laptops.

Obviously it's going to be easier, but would a more difficult one be better for learning the hard way? Assuming I make frequent backups and don't mind if I fuck it up.
Or it'd be better to get Ubuntu and learn with baby steps?

>>58622011
Eh. Your call. I started my Linux journey, if you will, with a less-friendly distro, and gave up on the whole idea for a long time before trying it again, and re-starting it with Ubuntu -- which stuck well enough with me for me to actually learn how to use it.

>would a more difficult one be better for learning the hard way?
Generally, no. Knowledge of the specifics of a Linux distro is mostly useless, and the real world mostly runs the easier distros.

>>58622026
My understanding is that Source Engine is mostly CPU intensive. I'm pretty sure that 650 Ti is more than adequate.

>>58622050
Alright, I thought distros were more different between each other, but if you guys say it's negligible (at least for a newbie), then I don't see the point of a harder one anymore.

Just for curiosity, would Debian be considered one of the more difficult distros, or easier (or middle) ones?

Debian is effortless to install if it happens to have all the right drivers, just more tedious to configure to your liking. Ubuntu comes with some nice little things like bash aliases and sudo already set up for you.

>>58622085
Level of difficulty: medium

It's not specifically hard, but it doesn't exactly hand everything to you the way Ubuntu does.

Besides, Ubuntu is not used just because of how easy it is to setup, or as an entry level linux distro. It also has quite a bit of compatibility and gives less headaches in some cases. Sometimes you might know how to set up your system right, but Ubuntu may suffice too and save you a lot of time.

Anyone nearby with a wi-fi card can eavesdrop on your traffic unless that traffic is encrypted. Basically, whenever you're on public wi-fi of any kind you should be using a VPN, or at the very least only visiting websites via HTTPS.

Maybe. Might as well try. They don't give you the same deals if they know you're a business because they know businesses a.) have more money to spend and b.) are less careful about saving it. Some consumers shop around, most businesses just say it costs what it costs.

>>Been thinking about upgrade to 8.1 if i have problems with the installation with a kaby lake conputer.

You can install 7 on Skylake/Kaby Lake machines. You just need a PS/2 keyboard and a copy of 7 on a disc, instead of a USB drive. You can also use a USB expansion card, if you have one. All 2.0 cards will work, many 3.0 cards will.

Once 7 is installed, install the USB drivers your mobo came with and you can use mobo USB ports fine.

In firefox I keep insertrelatedaftercurrent set to false so tabs will open on the far right, is there a way/addon so I can change this on the fly? eg shift-middlemouse would open a tab next to the current

Desktop user here, I'm going to buy my first laptop, for uni and such, my question is, the gpu is an integrated intel hd5500, what is it's equivalent to desktop gpu and can it play 720p anime on mpv?

Almost anything can play 720p anime on MPV.

>>58624196
anything can play anime, games though...

>>58624186
Then stick Windows in a VM and use PCI passthrough. You get about 98% of native performance and it makes it simple to use Windows just for games and nothing else. You can also block communication to MS servers from the host Linux OS.

>>58624252
I still have my desktop at home, so gaming is not a problem.

>>58624227
Thanks.

>>58616649
Pretty much this. You probably don't need a VPS though. Shared hosting is cheaper and more noob friendly

Hey folks,
so my old laptop broke down and I bought a new one - not really expensive, since I do not have any money right now. I wanted to put my SSD harddisk from my old comp into the new one, but saw pic related when I opened - I don't recognize that plug, and my ssd has default input. What do?

>>58624656
That's an M.2 SSD. Best thing you can do is to clone your SSD to that one on another computer or something.

>>58624701
No possibility to change the imput? Reason is primarily because my other SSD is significantly better

>>58624739
No, but why not both ?

>>58624761
B-both? I'm not so good with computers, sempai

>>58624783
Use the better one as boot and program ssd, use the worse one as normal storage

I'm a poor fuck and don't want to buy compressed air to clean dust from my pc. I've heard using a hairdryer works alright on cool/cold setting on high, is this a good idea?

>>58624800
Do I need one of these?

>>58624902
Okay sorry, I didn't understand that the other SSD you have is mSATA, I thought it was normal 2.5in SSD but you noticed the other one while opening the laptop

>>58623679
You can save yourself dozens of dollars a year by having it standby when not using it for anything. If you're not torrenting or something there's no reason to leave it on. Reboots are only necessary for updates. There's some disagreement on what's best for hard drives, but you'll likely save enough to buy a new one if set to standby when not in use.

I know there's a /g/ pastebin for installing windows with a USB if you have a skylake
Can someone link it to me?

What is not known to need a guide? Put in the USB, boot from it, wait until windows installs, done

Trying to OC my i5 6600k, but running the initial stress test it was running at 60 C. Does that mean i cant push it any higher?

>>58625098
The processor doesn't come with USB drivers or something
There was a regular guide and a skylake guide

>>58625115
60 under load is not close to too hot. Why would you think that?

>>58625115
Intel says 64 degrees. You really have much more headroom than that most of the time.

>>58625144
googling told me i should try to stay around 45-50 C under constant load. I will be using this to run 3 hour plus FEA simulations while i sleep, so i dont want to wake up one morning to find the thing fried

>>58625388
It's specifically designed to not destroy itself and will most likely shut itself off before it can be damaged. Ambient temperature exceeds 45 in some places.

>>58625525
so if its hitting 64 C in stress testing does that mean its at maximum clock, or can i push it higher with the temp not increasing?

>>58625115
are you using stock cooler ?

>>58625550
See for yourself when you can observe it for a bit while performing the actual task. It could go either way. Also keep in mind it will get hotter during summer.

>>58625388
What I do is keep all my computer components unplugged and in their original packaging so they can't get damaged.

>>58625604
>not keeping them in a factory they're made

>>58625568
no, i have a thermaltake frio silent 12. Related to that is the space required in front of the cooler typically unchanging between types, ie is space between RAM and CPU a standard, so most coolers wont bump the ram?

>>58625604
I probably should have specified this computer exists only in my mind, where no one can hurt it

>>58621460
Anyone?

Whenever im using qbittorrent or downloading from a quality website (pornsites with good speeds) the downloads hog all the bandwith of the LAN. Sometimes i cant reach sites i was using a minute ago before the download started, and internet on other devices also becomes really slow or stops working.
It only happens on this network in my apparment, but not in my parents place.
WTF is going on?

>>58623995
While windows has no problem using Kaby lake.
Motherboard will.
