when a game system requirements say i need "Graphics: 384 MB of RAM" do they mean overall memory or dedicated memory?

i have:
Total Available Graphics Memory: 2132 MB
Dedicated Video Memory: 128 MB
System Video Memory: 0 MB
Shared System Memory: 2004 MB

do i meet the requirements?

and when they say "Graphics: 512MB Video Memory" do they mean something else when it's "video memory" instead of "ram"?

Can I get a recommendation on a good external HDD? 2TB at the least.

At which point do programming languages leave the basics and start getting into the "real shit" of the language?

Is it after learning arrays?

>>58814539
It is after learning metaprogramming facilities.

>>58814315

The dedicated vRAM is what matters.

RAM = memory. Video memory = vRAM

Your graphics card (gpu) is supposed to have its own ram, just like your cpu.

>>58814539
What do you mean by the "real shit"?

In most languages, after learning about arrays you can already do most anything of the real shit, most of what you'll learn after arrays is syntactic sugar.

Programming languages can only do very basic stuff. If by "real shit" you mean heavy mathematics, GUI development, machine learning, etc. then what you're looking for are external libraries.

Trying to get ethernet hooked up in a downstairs room.

Master closet cables are unlabeled, and the downstairs room has two cat6 cables in the outlet but neither was connected to the jack panel.

Any easy way to identify which cable in the master closet matches the downstairs room? Im getting up early tomorrow to try and take a crack at it. My plex server is downstairs and wifi just doesn't cut it.

Birds are nice, but they're not really social, unless you consider fish social. If you're going bird finches are nice. Cats are lower maintenance than dogs, but not all of them are very social

>>58815325

Birds are much more social than cats or even dogs.

>>58814805
If you have a password length of 1 how many combinations are there?
I hope it's obvious that it's 26.

So what if the password length is 2?
Then for any of the 26 characters that you put on the first slot you have another 26 characters to put on the second slot.

With this I mean if you type in 'a' you can put any of the 26 characters in front of it. Same thing if you type in 'b', 'c', etc.

And the ammount of possible combinations for that is multiplying the possibilities for the second slot by the ammount of possibilities for the second slot.

In this case that would be 26x26 or 26^2.

The same reasoning applies for any length: you raise the number of characters to the password length.

So for 26 characters and a password length of 6 you would get 26^6 = 308 915 776

>>58814744
I wouldn't recommend any of those.
Birds require a lot of care. They need specific temperature and humidity. They'll die if you cook with teflon. Don't clean with ammonia either. They can't deal with it efficiently like mammals can. You shouldn't anyway, since vinegar, water, and dish soap works well enough as a glass cleaner. YOU HAVE TO CLEAN UP THEIR POOP THEY DROP ALL OVER.

Dogs are annoying because they need to be let outside to piss and shit, and then you need to clean up their shit. And they fart and fan their ass juice everywhere they go. And act like you're their whole world like a clingy boyfriend.

It's not good to have a single cat. Two is better since they need a couple hours of playtime each day to stay healthy. And you still have to pick up their shit unless you can toilet train them or get one of those automatic boxes that doesn't work will and still has you handling shit and brain parasites. It can be very annoying having a cat constantly begging for stuff and getting in your way.

If you do get a pet, find one at an animal shelter. Don't buy from breeders. Mutts tend to have more personality than inbreds.

+1 to mix breeds. Purebreds get all sorts of weird health problems when they're older, and tend to have a shorter lifespan in general. You can't just turn a wolf into a chihuahua without fucking shit up a little.

The only thing that stops me from having that happen is writing slower and taking breaks. I suppose you could try to hold the pencil a little looser.

Hey guys I got a question about Java.
I'm working on a school project regarding health issues.
The idea is simple, Everytime the user clicks, it adds to a counter. When it reaches approx 500 clicks, it will display a health tip.
So is there no way to implement this without clicking on the jPanels? As in it records mouse events outside of my GUI? Some say just create a transparent overlay. Will it be able to click through the jPanel? Another suggestion was to use mouse POS(x,y). Does it register outside of the GUI?
Help is appreciated. Thank you.

Why does my torrent client say the download speed is ~700kbps while my broadband says the current download speed is ~10Mbps?

And no, there's nothing else downloading.

>>58815858
Torrents depend on peer-to-peer networking. Your download speed is dependent on the collective upload speed being supplied to you.

What's the easiest way to know what cpu I can upgrade my laptop with?

I've got an older Satellite L45 (circa 2008) that I'd like to breathe some life into. I've ID'd the chipset and current processor specs. Could I just pop anything that fits the socket and meets the current TDP of the processor in, or does the fsb speed need to match?

Got a Pentium T2310 currently, could I theoretically go to a Core 2 Duo T7500 on the same socket that matches all requirements sans FSB speed.

Would like to try it, but don't want to kill the laptop. The processors I'm eyeballing are only 10-15 freedom bucks so that's not too upsetting to trash in the event of failure. Just want to make sure I'm on the right track here.

What's a good MicroSD writing and reading speed? For a class 10 one.

I bought a SanDisk Ultra 32gb as complementary storage for my "chromebook" (with Windows 10) and I'm running some benchmark that says it does average writing of 8.2 Mb/s and 12 Mb/s for reading. Is that good for regular file storage and maybe Steam with some old games?

I will also be running most of my "big" software from there.

>>58815875
If that was the problem, wouldn't the broadband also stick around ~700kbps?

>>58815858
>>58815914
Whenever you download something, it all depends on where and how much it will put out. Say you download from a website and it upload speed only goes up to 2mb equivalent, then you will only get 2mb from that site no matter how much faster you are.

Since torrents are peer based, it depends on all the peers put together. If the torrent has one seeder and no leechers, and the seeder can only up 700kbs make, then that's all you get.

Extra speed is good none the less because if one place is trying to take your whole download bandwidth, then everything else is going to be slow until you finished. Also helps when there's multiple people connecting.
Something like that anyways. I might be retarded and gave you a wrong answer.

Should I spend my stardust on a 95.5% venusaur with an A ranking defnder moveset, or a 100% dragonite with a c ranking moveset?

I'm probably retarded as well for thinking I do.

>>58815985
Dragonite is a fucking meme for pleb losers but then again Venusaur is for special snowflakes who think they're more intelligent than water nerds and less stupid than fire normies.

Basically kill yourself or raise a Raticate

>>58815948
Can't say I've heard heard of something like that before.Trying to search for it just brought me to KVM switches. Maybe if you could somehow gut the motherboard from a laptop and somehow find a way to connect the rest to a desktop? But that probably won't work and probably not worth the time and money.

Architecture.

Where does it fit?

A CPU can follow some assembly instrutions right? So a CPU can be x86, x64, MIPS, POWER, ARM or whatever.

But what about GPU? Can a GPU be x86 or x64?

And APU? Can an APU have an "architecture" too?

Please, can someone explain this?

>>58816028
You can try a different charger, like your PC. Any 5 volt USB jack will do.

>>58816028
Find another charger. If you got some proprietary port then that kind of sucks for you. Otherwise assuming it's micro or C, just test out another one or test the cable yourself if you can.
Meaning using the cable on another device that uses micro or C.

If the cable is not working, you can probably conclude it's the cable. Unless both happened to be at fault.

>>58815950
It's the first time I even realized that you don't use apt-get in every Linux, needless to say I don't know about any of this shit under the hood for this distro. I specifically chose this arch fork, because it's advertised as windowsbabbehs first loonix with a 6 in 1 DE installer for ease of choice.

>>58815882
If it fits the socket and you can actually get to it, you should be fine. You should look up your mobo manual and see if it's even possible to open up your laptop that much. It could also be a huge pain putting it back together. Then you'd also want an SSD. Honestly I'd look into getting a new laptop

Trying to figure out what kind of ssd I want to use in my secondary laptop.
I mostly just goof around with programming on it.
should I get 60GB or 120GB? I'd rather do 60 but I'm afraid I'd just have to buy a larger one anyway, but on the other hand I really don't want to spend more money than I have to.

>>58815996
It's not hard at all. Other people are uploading to you. If their collective connection is slow as shit, you're not going to magically get it any faster than that. When you've got the torrent and you've started seeding, your connection will contribute to how fast other people get it.

External or portable?

>>58814539
The "basics" of a language are core, primitive variable types and the essentials of the language (defining types, methods/functions, classes if relevant).
The "real shit" is the standard library of the language.

>>58815748
Java applications can't capture events outside of them. To do that, you will need a language that can interface more directly with the OS. You can accomplish that in C pretty easily using the WinAPI.

>>58816047

On linux the only one i know it's dolphin, in fact i consider plasma the most complete DE on any OS I have tried and even if it used to be very heavy on resources compared to other DEs on linux (about the same as Windows ) the latest versions has slimmed it a lot. If you want a vanilla and unbloated experience try KDE Neon user edition. If you want much stability as possible use the "LTS user edition" which only ships LTS versions of plasma.

Do I need to download a hash making program if I want to check hashes for files I download?

>>58816384
Is Dolphin the distro or an application for it? Thinking of using kubuntu myself here.

>>58816498
Neither. Ubuntu would be the distro. Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE. KDE has Dolphin as a file manager. So basically you install Kubuntu and that's all you need.

>>58816488
On GNU/Linux or OS X, you should already have those accessible right in the terminal. On Windows, there's stuff like Cygwin.

I'm two hours into using my first Linux. First I couldn't get Spotify, so I installed Clementine for now.

Man, it's hard to switch from Windows...

Graphic cards have their own memory, which is listed as Dedicated video memory. Shared system memory is the amount of system RAM your video card is allowed to use in case it runs out of memory. Game requirements refer to dedicated video memory.
According to the information you provided, you probably don't have a dedicated GPU which is needed for most modern games.

I heard that with python you can do fairly complex things simply. Is this because of all the libraries? Will doing things from scratch take just as long in another language?

Python can be written very closely to the pseudocode most people produce during design. It's syntax is basic and intuitive meaning complex algorithms can be written quickly from any given pseudo. Python's implementations of strings, lists and dictionaries are great for writing code fast.

In addition, you are right that it's packages are vast and easily used.

to find out what it is, just run sudo pamac and sudo octopi and see which one works, that's the quickest way I can think of

Why can't you dynamically allocate arrays on the stack? Seems to me like "sub $esp, $eax" followed with "add $esp, $eax would let you do this just fine.

It's aight. Be sure to read up on the pacman documentation.

p.s. you will end up preferring the method of installing programs from a terminal over a GUI in the end. It takes less work, and is easier to search. When I was an Ubuntufag I realized within a month how terrible the GUI installer is.

>>58816899
Yea, I prefer using the command prompt for certain tasks in windows too. I started waaay back in dos times, so I don't shy away from a CLI, it's just that I prefer clicking through options phrased in english, so I don't have to learn syntax.

So I have a pretty powerful gaming PC, and I browse the internet pretty frequently. I used to use Google Chrome, but I wasn't really a huge fan of the looming threat of spying, so I switched back to Firefox. Problem is, it freezes and crashes all the time, and is generally really unstable.

Is there any way I can really get rid of Chrome being a botnet without resorting to using something like Chromium?

>>58817150
>Is there any way I can really get rid of Chrome being a botnet without resorting to using something like Chromium?
Short answer: no
You can install every privacy extension on the market, but the browser will still phone to Google. The only way to escape the botnet is to install a fork of Google Chrome with the botnet removed, or use Firefox which is a resource hog

>>58817177
Fuck. Kinda figured that was the answer I was going to get. Thanks.

>>58817177

I'm not sure which OS you're speaking of, but FF uses WAAAAY less resources on Windows. The ratio is like 10 to 1.

>>58817198
Running Arch. Opening chromium I will get to 600MiB of RAM max. But opening two tabs on Firefox and I will reach 1.2GiB.

Indeed, but when you have to exit your browser to play vidya like it was fucking 15 years ago, it's a little annoying. That's why I upgraded to 32GB and now Chrome can use 19 and I can use all the rest.

pic related, it's the case. It's not supposed to house a GPU at all.

It's long enough and it's tall enough for this card though, the thickness it the problem. The graphic's card is 35mm thick and I'll only have about 15mm to work with on that side. If I change the stand-offs' location and move the motherboard all the way to the left though I'll have some 30mm free on the side which means it might work

I'll have to perforate the sides more and probably the top as well for more ventilation, of course

>>58817431
Literally by unscrewing it. The two standoffs that you screw the DVI cable into screw off just like the standoffs for your motherboard. There's also going to be a nut and bolt holding it onto the PCB itself.

>>58817597
Won't fit. Card cooler is too thick.

>>58817597
From the looks of that, you'll have to cut off the side of the case by the graphics card. You won't be moving that motherboard anywhere, as it will interfere with your HDD/SSD mounting point. Looks like you'll also have make a cutout for the ports on the graphics card on the other side as well.

You might be able to mount the graphics card horizontally with a riser card/cable, depending on how tall the case is and whether you have enough clearance above your CPU cooler. Cutting open the side is a better option, though.

New to C and I am being a retard. Can anyone explain why it wants me to put ; after int main() ?

{
  int i;
  scanf("%d", &i)
    {
      if (i > 100)
        {
          printf("The number is bigger than 100");
        }
      else
        {

>>58817597
will not fit, theres no way. you don't even have a slot for the damn card in there. that case is not meant for ANY pci-e cards.

>>58817688

>>58817643
That's what I'm afraid of
I can always open up the side completely and let it sit a few mm outside the case, but I'll see what I can do before I resort to that

>>58817644
>it will interfere with your HDD/SSD mounting point.
that's not my picture, I don't have any HDD/SSDs so that's not a problem. My cable management is better than the one in the pic too
Obviously I'll have to cut the back as well, yes. I thought about mounting it horizontally and extending the case upwards to make it fit, but that will make both the CPU and the GPU toast very easily

>>58817664
well you're missing a semicolon on the scanf line

>>58817689
They all work the same. I like arch though because Pacman is easy, and it's easy to switch wms for optimal coding

>>58817713
>I don't have any HDD/SSDs so that's not a problem.
Then you'll still have to make new holes for motherboard standoffs and extend the hole for its I/O panel. I wouldn't bother with this, just cut a hole for the GPU cooler and its I/O. Which you'd have to do either way if moving the motherboard only gives you 30mm and you need 35mm. Aside from being more susceptible to dust, hanging outside the case won't hurt anything unless you stick things in the fans like a retard.

You can probably make do with cutting away just enough of a hole for the GPU cooler to fit though, rather than cutting away the entire side panel.

Well he did open up a block when there was no logical reason to, although it could've been part of the exercise or whatever.

>>58817756
no, it's 35mm

If I do what I said (move the mobo all the way to the left and remove those plastic things on the right side) I'll gain around 30mm total, hopefully a couple more. Then it's a matter of hoping the remaining 5/4/3mm of the card will be the space between the PCIe slot and the end of the mobo

Someone on my wifi has a chromecast or some sort of device which can be streamed to. Every time theyre home my phone spotify and google chrome videos have this annoying "stream" button. I don't want to stream anything to that persons device. Particularly not if Im watching porn (or anything else for that matter).


It annoys me that there is an option for this. How to turn this option off?

Let's say I have a VPS in the USA. I want to take a raspberry Pi, connect it to a public wifi spot, using the Raspberry Pi as a proxy to torrent through, and saving all the files directly to my storage VPN with sshfs.

If (when) the Raspberry Pi is found, what's the likelihood that the device can be traced back to my own IP address? I assume very high. Only looking to torrent stuff movies here, nothing really illegal (no backpages shit). Am I better off just getting a Ukranian VPS where they don't give a shit about that stuff? I don't really trust VPNs

>>58817794
No. It's a stupid feature Google needs to add a way to disable.

>>58817774
I will give that was triggering

>>58817794
it's just a button, if you don't press it nothing will happen
even if you do it's still got a confirmation dialog

and why not stream porn to it once in a while? It's not like they'll know it's you

>>58817794
Uninstall GApps services. This will remove the libraries needed by apps to broadcast to chromecasts.

It'll also break all your google applications (like gmail) and a ton more besides. As much open source vs. proprietary memery is around, this is actually the true cost. You have to chose between Google's opinions of what's right or yours, and there's no way for you to pick your own middle ground.

Would this be better?

#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  int i;

  printf("Please enter a integer value: ");
  scanf("%d", &i);
    {
      if (i > 100)
          printf("The number is bigger than 100\n");
      else
          printf("The number is not bigger than 100\n");
    }
  return 0;
}

>>58817865
No one is judging you. Getting caught up in style is a beginners trap. Learning concepts is the most important thing you can do right now.

But no, that's not better, you removed the wrong brackets.

>>58817865
damn son, you got it upside down, cmon.
{} for if/else (around the printfs).
Lose the {} after scanf and before return.

Hi,

Are there any kaby lake motherboards that is mini-PCIe compatible?

Been planning on buying a new motherboard lately, but don't want to buy a bulky looking wireless card, since I already have one from my laptop lying around.

Any suggestions?

>>58817893
What about one that has built-in whyreless ?

Seagate tends to be a 50/50. probably not worth gamble imo.

I have a 2tb for movie storage that Ive had for about 6 years, no problems other than the usb cord gets fucked after a year or so and I have to buy another.

>>58817907
Too expensive, plus I already have one lying around and would like to make use of it...

>>58817928
And by one that is lying around, I mean a mini-PCIe wireless card with bluetooth.

>>58817926
Which one do you have? About to buy this WD Elements.

>>58814444
yup wvc1 is the codec.
The upscaling can depend on many factors, are you gonna play it in its native resolution or on a higher res? and also it could be that the video itself has been upscaled through editing

are there any good alternatives to popcorntime that would give my parents access to various shows? basically something that would give them a simple interface to stream various torrents. i was thinking WebTorrent.

My father makes good use of a "kodi" device.

1MB, 1392x768px

Im buying a rx480 4gb for $270 because its the best option imo based on price/performance
But i was thinking on maybe throwing an extra $80 and get a 8gb with 3 fans. Is it worth it for the extra 80?

The high prices is because i live in south america

>>58818062
yeah but what providers do you associate it with? i feel bad having them just use youtube since it's not the best quality and limits their choices.

>>58818062
>>58818062
this, or plex with webtools and the primewire addon

>>58818070
For the additional VRAM ? Not really. But a card with a beefy cooler and three fans will run significantly quieter/cooler than a reference card.

>>58817853
Th-thanks, sir.

Whats the best ad blocker for firefox on android? I have ublock myself but I want something less complicated, its for my dads phone.

Got an SG13 a few days ago, with the non-mesh front panel, and I would like the mesh front panel too.

Is there anywhere I can get this without just buying the case again with a the mesh front panel? I already emailed silverstone directly, but I figured if someone else happened to know how/if there was some vendor that sells just the mesh panel, then I may as well ask here too.

is this a steal?

>>58818285
It can be found that low on ebay. How bad is the contrast and such on monitors from 2009? Is it PWM-free? tftcentral doesn't say because this model predates that review feature.

hey what's the best mobile browser for Android and why

I dont think its pwm-free, does it really matter though? Also I live on oahu so shipping is a bitch to deal with.

the contrast is 1,000:1, I mostly just gayme, so I don't think it would really matter to me, though I've been eyeing the Sceptre E248W-1920 on amazon, luckily I have prime so It would be free shipping. would it be a better buy?

I'm running DELL E207WFP right now for some background info.

If you're going to get a bird then get one of the corvus family, like a jackdaw, very intelligent birds, they'll come sit on your shoulder and can actually talk (as in produce words not have a meaningfull conversation)
