so is there a good tutorial for installing arch linux for absolute beginners? the arch wiki is kind of shit in that regard, i need something that REALLY hold my hand. kind of like the gentoo handbook, which explicitly tells you every single command to enter

How would I go about installing the drivers for a netgear WNDA3100v2 usb wifi adapter onto a computer running ubuntu 16.04? The computer does not have an internet connection available, but I have a laptop from which I could transfer files I needed onto the computer.

>>58695229
>>58695229
just install ubuntu server and whatever else you need (dwm/awesome/xfce) and start from there

you'll gain absolutely nothing from learning how to install an operating system

I have a chance to pick up a 17" MacBook pro for $130. The problem is, it's stuck on a white screen.

What are the chances that it's something that will require actual repair vs resetting the NVRAM with a keystroke combo? I don't want to ask the dude if he's tried that because then he might just keep it. So it's a real fucking gamble. I'm just curious how many hardware problems that require expensive repair service start with the white screen?

>>58695229
If you can't follow the wiki to install arch, you sure as hell won't get very far using it either and you'll just be back here in two days talking about how terrible Linux is because YOU chose an advanced distro as a complete newbie

My girlfriend sold an iPhone 7 as faulty for spare parts and/or repair and stated the original battery had been replaced
Guy bought it and is now demanding a refund saying he took it to Apple and they wouldn't touch it (no shit)
What are the odds he wins a case? He's also threatened her with negative feedback but now she's afraid that ebay will award him the case since they're so pro buyer
Thoughts?

Is there an add-on for firefox that lets me save text in the browser then come back to it later?
I know I can just create a text file in the desktop but I want it built into the browser.

>>58695641
eBay sides with the buyer pretty frequently, but if the listing clearly said that it was not working then she MIGHT be able to defend it. Also show them where the buyer attempted to blackmail her by threatening negative feedback, they don't look too kindly on that.

So my dog has been lately going through a hole in the fence into the neighbor's yard and they have been complaining incessantly about it, I've offered to fix the fence but only if they will pay up half of the costs to do so which they have refused. Anyway yesterday this happened again, and apparently the neighbor took my dog, loaded it up in the car with them to some vet, and had it euthanized, and only told me about all this after. What recourse do I have here? I called the police but they said it is a civil matter and won't intervene. Feeling really heartbroken right now, there was no reason for them to take it this far.

>>58695641
If it's listed as for parts and it's only good for parts I don't see why ebay wouldn't side with her.
Sellers can't control whether the vendor will honor the warranty lol.

Woke up with a stiff neck the other day and hurts to turn it past a certain point now, any recommendations to help loosen it up again? Has happened before in the past and always cleared up after a few days but I still hate it and would be nice if I could make it last less time.

I've got a rather annoying problem with suspending on my laptop. Every once in a while, when resuming from suspend the system locks up and I'm forced to hard reset.

As far as I can see, there isn't anything relevant in syslog or the like, so I'm not really sure where else to look.

tl;dr How do I figure out what goes wrong during suspend/resume?

Hey, I don't get notifications with clover is this normal?

Recently invested in a new rig so I can actually experience PC gaming for once in my life, but the mouse pointer is rather jittery.

Good, now the problem is to find someone selling 2GB for cheap.

New is $15 and used is $10-11.

But the problem is that i paid $15 for my laptop and i still have to buy a charger($12) and a battery($25).
And probably a HDD or SSD soon since the current one is damaged and slow(70MB/s max sequential read speed).

And if you wonder why i am complaining for so little is because im not from the US.

How do I reference a value from a different sheet, but instead of providing the sheet name, I want to store that sheet name in a cell?
So, for example, instead of typing
=sheet_name!F12
I want to do A1=sheet_name, and then to use something like
=A1!F12

But this doesn't work. Can I get it to work somehow or is this not doable in excel?

Looks like you've got scaling on.

I installed Ubuntu GNOME in a dual-boot configuration with Windows 10, but something went wrong during the installation and it couldn't install most of the hardware drivers it needed. I want to try again. If I change the boot order to default to Windows Boot Manager and delete the Linux partition, do I have anything to worry about? I saw a thread here the other day about a guy whose computer broke because he deleted the Linux partition of his dual-boot configuration, so I'm a little wary now.

On an unrelated note, how do I know how good a processor is? All I know is that i7 is for resource-intensive work, i5 is the most any ordinary person would need, and i3 is for relatively light usage. Outside of that, I have no idea how to gauge a processor's capabilities.

It seems fine. It's one of the models with dual Intel and Nvidia GPU. I think the discrete GPU got fucked by the coffee because it spazzes out when it switches to it (using gfxcardstatus to force Integrated and it works pretty well now)

There's two basic tools for Windows systems that I've used to fix 95% of my boot problems caused by dicking about with the partitions back when I used to dualboot.

A few years back I had a very active Twitter account with 2000+ followers. I stopped using the account and almost completely forgot about it until recently. The problem is, it's tied to an email address I can no longer get into. I've tried resetting and resending the password on both Twitter and my email but this was before phone numbers were being added to restore access to the accounts. I've tried every old password I can think of but I'm still not able to get in.

The one small glimmer of hope that I have is that I added a domain to the profile. That domain expired about a year ago and is up for grabs. The Twitter username and the domain are pretty much related, but not the same.

Would I stand a chance contacting Twitter about the username, asking them to reset it as I am the owner of the domain in the profile? Would I need to trademark the name for this to work? Could I BS them, send an official lawyer-esque sounding letter without fear they'll ask for the proof of trademark?

How should I approach this?

You could do something like

//etc.

each time using amount_left rather than subtracting all the previous stuff from amount.

Locate your target network with the packet sniffer.
Is it WEP security?
yes -> use packet sniffer's wep cracker, done
no -> then it's WPA2.
check the target wifi router's make/model
google exploits specific to that model.
expoilts found?
yes -> implement exploits
no -> is neighbor real old or real young or real clueless and likely to have a short, easy password?
yes -> use packet sniffer to implement a brute force WPA2 password crack
no -> it would likely be quicker to go get a job, pay for your own internet, schedule an installation and wait the 4 hours after the scheduled install time for the installer to finally show up.

They charge the US the most in the world because we're partisan obstructionist morons terrified of meaningful regulation so we've had to build a system out of hodgepodge and compromise and riders instead of directly addressing any issue

We have a debt economy where prices are no longer limited to what people can pay, but to what their bank can afford to pay.

We have massive conglomeration between insurance, finance and providers so that you're paying a company to protect yourself from what it will charge you if you don't pay them; and if you can't cover what's left, why, they've got someone right on hand to lend you money, too! Then they(insurance) negotiates with themselves(providers) about what to charge you(what to pay themselves.) It turns insurance into nothing but a racket and every one of these jew bastards running it ought to hang. They make millions profiteering on sickness and death, like the horsemen of the goddamn apocalypse.

The higher Ohm value your headphones have the more electricity will be required to power them. If your audio source is not strong enough to power those headphones then the music will be very quiet and sound off or you might not even hear anything.

>these headphones come in a variety of different Ohms (32, 80, etc)? Which one should a pleb like me who just wants to plug them in directly and go be buying?
~30 ohm headphones will run on everything. ~50 ohm might sound tinny or require you to amp up volume on most phones and shitty motherboards. 60 and higher usually require some kind of amplification.

If you're listening on PC you might as well get a USB DAC. Those come with decent amplifiers for headphone use.

Do you need to get a RAM kit to dual channel properly? or can I just get one stick now and slap another one on later? I've searched around and found some mixed signals.

My current build has two sticks of slightly different RAM in dual channel and I've never really noticed any problems. but maybe being DDR2 has something to do with it. Did RAM really get so sensitive that they need to be specifically made to work with one another to work properly or are those people just spouting bullshit?

google or any of the library genesis mirrors like

One indicates a Nvidia driver and the other indicates Intel Management Engine Interface.

I just find this flipping bananas because all of these happened in a row.

>>58709107
Yeah, I'm sure there's some relation somehow, possibly the Nvidia driver is trying to access something on the faulty drive? Or I could be completely wrong and it's something different.

>>58709124
I uninstalled Intel Management Engine and Intel Rapid Storage after investigating the first one on google, then the other two popped up in the process. And I did actually had a usb HD connected to my PC so maybe that just got in the way somehow.

if no one knows in here ima make a thread

every night at exactly 12 (when the day changes) my computer alt tabs me to desktop from anywhere i am - be it browsing , playing a game or watching a movie. i believe it's some stupid program i probably installed that does this.

anyone have this happen to them?

windows 10 ?

>>58710442
do you have the wallpaper set to change every day?

>>58710439
you should make a new thread anyway

for your question it's not very practical because you'll need compatibility layers for just about everything (file managing, networking, making windows, interacting with devices, and more)

not to say there aren't stuff like that already

there's wine which can run some windows applications on linux and there's ubuntu-on-windows I think for windows 10 that works very well

why work on compatibility layers on an os for two things when you can stick to one and have an easier time is an answer through a question

>>58710548
thanks for the answer
it might be dumb and impossible but what i was thinking was core compatibility, as in designed for the express purpose to run both. Ill reaserch some more then make a thread, but do you know if its possible or can you correct my misconceptions ?

windows 7

Is it possible my Pi is being reverse-powered through the USB port? I'm measuring voltage using an Arduino that's connected to the Pi via USB and when I connect a battery to the Arduino the current to the Pi's micro USB port drops to 0.00

Its a Schedule task, the problem is which one is causing it.

System restore point creation, windows defender, windows update, google update, etc.

single wallpaper

>>58710664
yes, it's called backfeeding.

>>58710709
Neat thanks, never knew this was a thing

>>58710585
(almost) anything is possible it's just not worth it and not efficient

virtualizing another os is just easier and pretty fast with hardware virtualization like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_virtualization#Intel_Virtualization_Technology_for_x86_.28Intel_VT-x.29

Is there a way to make VLC treat a click to the viewable area as Play/pause like MPC-HC does?

Well if the police said it's a civil matter then I guess you try to take your neighbor to small claims court. Sue them for the reimbursement value of one dog, emotional damages, etc.

I'd advise you to keep it out of the courts and just lets this go. Always avoid court if you can.

It was. With rainbow tables and a decent GPU you can get through it pretty fast.
