/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

Anyone have the latest Samsung Galaxy S7 root method? For Android 6 obviously.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039

Is outdated and there's a new version of xposed I found. Just wondering if there's a more effecient method since this one requires fixes to be installed after.

Anyone who work as programmer, is it worth to get master degree in IT at uni? Is it gonna be needed in future career? I got only engineer degree and i have almost 2 years of work experience.

If i use the ixquick firefox addon that just produces a "https://ixquick.com/do/metasearch.pl" no matter what i type in, will my ips be able to see what i'm searching?

Will encrypting an SSD stop TRIM from working?

>>58912834
A paper could help you get employed.

But since you already got engineering degree (and are employed) I don't think it would be necessary. Consider getting a bachelor in CE/EE maybe.

Programming is one of those things that with enough willpower you can learn without university

I have openvpn which I've setup on my server (basically followed the guide) but it doesn't work anymore and I didn't change the config at all.
The log mentions this

Sun Feb 12 15:19:03 2017 ERROR: Linux route add command failed: external program exited with error status: 2

which I've googled to no avail.
What am I doing wrong?

best way to hide porn (img/webms) on android phone?

>>58913129
Encrypt the phone. Not inconvenient if it has a fingerprint reader. Password only needed for reboots.

>>58913129
Hide in browser or hide after you downloaded them

The browser should have an option to disable images altogether

>>58913155
i already have the fingerprint reader but i still want it to be way hidden in case i just hand my phone to a friend or whatever
>>58913166

How do I show other people how much of homosexual I am?

>>58913129
It depends on what level of protection you want. If you don't have people going over your whole filesystem and you are just worried about them showing up in the gallery, just put them in a folder on your sd card and disable automatic media scanning for that folder. Navigate to it when needed using the file manager

>>58913220

Was it so hard to tell me WHICH program is using it? Is there a way to find out? I've already closed fucking everything. Is it just a bug?

This is not really a programming/developer question but I am wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to upload a gallery to imgur and then get a list of the BBCode for each one? ie if I upload 20 pictures is there a way to get [img]xxx[/img] automatically generated in a list for each image?

How do you go backwards in the linux terminal? Specifically I'm in the gentoo minimal install environment right now.

And yes I know "cd .." takes you back one directory but let's say I want to go as far back as I can go. How do I do that?

I hate using /g/ for help because I use this thing called google, but I can't even find anyone else who is even asking about this problem in the first place.

Windows 10 likes to immediately start searching in the start menu as soon as you make the first keystroke. For example, if I want to search my file system for a document containing all my scattered gaming login info, I tap the Windows key and type "doc_rec_cred_game".

But what Windows 10 does is:

>search for letter D
>search gets interrupted when I press O
>begins a search for "do"
>repeats this idiotic process until I finally have the full phrase typed in
>THEN it starts searching for what I want

TL;DR: Can I artificially instill a delay in Windows 10 searches until like a fifth of a second after I stop typing in a search query? My rig can run Planetside 2 and an MMO at the same time faster than it can search for one fucking file

Does any one know any good cyber security books , or have any advice for someone going into the cyber security field ?

>>58913648
In the absolute sense, yes. But the difference is likely to be insignificant, especially compared to the convenience of what you've accomplished. Just enjoy.

>>58913641
do you have file indexing disabled? the search should be instant without any delay unless you turned it off, then it has to actually crawl through everything to search.

R9 280x Sapphire Vapor-X refuses to boot, motherboard gives me signal 2B, boots fine with on-board
Sometimes it'll go through boot normally, then crash catastrophically whenever a high-demanding video application is launched, be it games, a youtube video, anything that requires the card to switch out of minimum settings really

I got a GTX1060 that is en route because I need it operational as soon as possible, is there any way to troubleshoot the issues with the ead card, or is it a lost cause the second it refuses to boot the first time?

If I bid on a project on freelancer, will the fee be taken from my deposit or from the money I'm being awarded? For example, if I bid a project for 30 and the freelancer fee is 4€, do they take the money from the 30€ and I get paid 26€, or do I get charged from my paypal account?

>>58914633
Power supply is doing good, I managed to sometime make it boot by starting with onboard and powering up the card on BIOS, then restarting. Still it would crash catastrophically soon after.
There was some dust I cleaned up, that reduced the average temperature pretty sharply (averaged 50 idle, 80 at max with the fan rolling, now averaged 40 idle, couldn't get a reading at max since it would crash)

I tried on another machine but the test was inconclusive (one of the 2 PCI-e required to power up the card was malfunctioning on the +2 pins, the card would light up but wouldn't boot). I wouldn't know how to troubleshoot a cable malfunction, all the cables are non-detachable

Hello,
How can I see the range of a Wi-Fi router??,...for example there is some difference between the area covered by a router and an other router?..How can I see the area who a router cover?..or the area covered by the Wi-fi is a standard?

>>58916156
get a laser surgery that will allow you to see radio waves lol.

Get a mobile application that will show you the strength signal and map the area yourself

>>58916176
Thanks for the reply,..but I mean another thing....
For example It is possible to know how much space cover the router,...for example a router have a 100m of range,..and another router have 200m of range , it is possible?..or the wi-fi range is a standard?

>>58916248
wifi is a radio.
It will have as much range as the antenna can produce a signal that the receiver can read without drowning in noise.

What you probably want is a wifi repeater.
Look into it

>>58916156

if you know your gain and signal strength you can get a guesstimate of your signal distance. the more walls, metal things and enemy routers in the way will diminish gains.

>>58916270
>>58916268
Thanks,..can I know these values, such as gain of the antenna and this other things from the spec of a router?

if you can support newer features not available on old versions, how many still use outdated versions or didn't update and how long you have to support them.

for example you really want to use a new feature but 40% of your users wouldn't be able to use it you'd overthink that idea and not waste time on it.

I have an Asus Maximus IX Code, 15 days old, was working perfectly. Yesterday i rebooted my PC and all the usb ports have died, even in the BIOS/UEFI. I tried to disconnect every usb device, tried clearing the CMOS, tried checking inside the case for shorts, but nothing. The computer is powered by a Corsair PSU, and is connected to an APC UPS, so it's not like i cheaped out on power quality.

One of my monitor is acting a bit weird. It generally works fine, but when I play a video that covers most of the screen, the screen will go black after a few seconds, stay black for 1 second, then come back, and repeat. This happens a lot more if the video is high resolution and/or high bitrate.

Is this likely to be a bad cap, or maybe something with the cable causing it to run out of bandwidth? It's using a single link DVI with a res of 1680x1050@60.

Your subitles are either CP-1252 and MPC is trying to read UTF-8 or they're UTF-8 and MPC is trying to read CP-1252.

How do train tickets in the UK work? (normal National Rail tickets, not Underground ones)
There's no mag stripe because they're just paper, but the automatic barriers scan them so quickly that I assumed that they would have some kind of barcode. I can't find one though - is it hidden on the ticket somehow or does the machine literally scan the reference number on the ticket?
Are the barriers networked? Do they look up which tickets have been issued and are valid in a central database, or does it just read the ticket as a conductor would?

I've decided to store a CRT monitor in the back seat of my car to keep it safe from the kids/animals in the house. Where I live the lowest it gets is about 20-30 degrees. Do you think keeping it there will cause any damage?

Why is it called a screensaver?

>>58921812

nope, its SATA.

I'll have to check

>>58921902
Because back then monitors used to burn the image if it remained static too much, that's why screensavers have stuff moving around and stuff. The screen could get fucked up.

Modern monitors don't have this issue, so screensavers don't matter anymore.

>>58921902
Because back in the day displaying a static image on your screen caused burn-in, damaging it. A screensaver literally saved your screen because it kept things moving.

old screens would become damaged from long exposure to static images.

screen-savers "saved" your screen form that potential damage.

I don't much care about compression or whatever as I have the hard drive space, I just want to save a few of my favourites as mkvs so I can avoid using the disks and all the shitty players you need to play them on computers.

>>58923020
im on windows

>>58923033
You have to use said shitty software due to DRM.

Just torrent it

>>58923010
Maybe I'll do that, but I'm not aware on how to set that up. I guess I'll look into it.

>>58923026
I see, thanks for the info.

>>58923033
Would dd work? Any good video player accepts iso as input.

>>58923055
Unfortunately I need something that will decode or otherwise remove the DRM or I'd still have to use the shitty software to play it (like Cyberlink) which is honestly more of a pain than changing disks to me

>>58923046
But the guys who made the torrents obviously know how to do this, there must be a way?

What is more important for 3d game development GPU or CPU?
I want to know what to spend more money on before building my pc.
Also using zbrush, maya, unity and adobe.

>>58922529
Looks like it wasn't overclocked. I just OCed it myself.

>>58923128
Have you made a 1D or 2D game yet? You know you can get plenty of free/cheap assets to use as placeholders before you give up on single-handedly jack-of-all-tradesing something typically done by a team of specialists?

How do I get parameters in a string that has a known format in java (reverse format(?))

Example:
String:

"02/13/17(Mon)13:20:21 No.58923039"

Format(?):

"[a]/[b]/[c]([d])[e]:[f]:[g] No.[n]"

What I get:

{ a: "02", ... }

>>58923246
You've have to make a regex for it and manually fail input that doesn't match. I don't know what that [a][b][c] shit is but in regular people talk it would be:

(\d+)\/(\d+)\/(\d+)\((\w+)\)(\d+):(\d+):(\d+)\sNo\.(\d+)

Is there any contextual interpretation of space-time that can allow the word "parsec" to be used correctly as a unit of time, rather than distance?

How would I learn to program a 2d games engine?
The features should be, render a room with moving sprites in it and a square sprite that moves at a constant rate with the arrow keys. Also it should play sound.
I've done an introductory course for C and assembly at uni if that helps.

a thinkpad that can run LoL just fine (that WON'T shit itself during teamfights!!!)

>>58923442
ThinkPad isn't for games. You want something with a video game GPU, not a workstation GPU.

I finally solved it, /g/. To illustrate how useless you were, here's how easy it was.

I already learned a lot off the stuff I need for my game (I really don't want to spend money in things that I can make but I do suck at programming). I used to work on a laptop that I recently sell, so I want to spend my money wisely on whatever will make my workflow faster and easiest.
The problem is that i'm on a budget so I need to select between having a better GPU or having a better CPU.

What makes a CPU 'good'?

>>58923504
Electricity.

>>58923246
sometimes you just have to know when you want to make a parser versus using a shitty ass language like PCRE

you'll thank me later.

I'm just going to be frank about this. I have a 770gtx gpu, 4690k cpu non OCed, and 8gb ram. Is it normal that a game like CSGO should be taking 40% of my cpu resources and 1.5GB of ram?

Have a Dell Inspron 7548 that is having a trackpad problem. Every time I use, it turns the screen to sleep. Would this be a driver issue or hardware?

HI FRANK I'M DAD

We don't appreciate that useless filler here >:(

>>58923561
Hello frank. That sounds about right

>>58923561
Yes. CSGO does a lot of anticheat stuff. Can't alt-tab quickly like with other Source games.

>>58921647
nah it's not that big a deal
i was more curious than anything

why does irc show my ip address to people?
isn't that dangerous?

>>58923660
What are they gonna do, DDoS you? lol

>>58923680
i don't know
that's why im asking :(
could they?

>>58923704
They could, but why would they? It's just a waste of resources. People don't DDoS for no reason.

Just make sure you have a firewall. What IRC network are you on?

>>58923718
i have windows firewall
and because sometimes it's fun to be a dick to people
i got threats talkin about i have your ip address
and i was just wondering if these are valid threats, or just tryn to scare me
and usually rizon

>>58923847
just use a vpn

>>58923660
>>58923704
Nobody cares. If you're doing something illegal the people who care will know who you are anyway. Unless you're on a chinese malware exchanging chatroom and communicating from a webserver full of open ports or exploitable wordpress plugins I wouldn't worry about it.

just make sure it's at least out of the sun (cover it up)

what are some _good_ shielded RCA cables? i've got terrible noise coming out of my speakers any time my CPU/GPU is under heavy load, or if i drag my cursor across the screen, scroll down a webpage, or load a whole bunch of tabs at once.

and i mean good RCA cables, not "good" as in "the cheapest first result i found on amazon." i'd really like to hear a recommendation from someone who's had interference issues in the past. this noise is really pissing me off.

in c++ how do i set the double precision to 2 decimal places?

>>58923974
Shielded cables won't fix that. The noise is coming from inside the computer :O

I encrypted my internal hdd but now it doesn't work with windows automatic defrag. Any way to fix this?

>>58924013
i had no noise coming out of this setup until i moved my equipment around to make room for a new monitor. i unplugged and removed a lot of unused equipment, and a few plugs may have changed places, but they all still plug into the same surge protector into the same socket of the same outlet.

literally the only thing that changed during this equipment upgrade was the replacement of my old RCA cables; which were great cables, but jokingly short. like three feet. they can't reach my mixer in this new setup. i replaced them with these cheap RCA cables i got off of amazon. they were under $3 each and free shipping. they aren't shielded as advertised and the ground sleeves don't even hold the plug in place. they're very loose. i tried shortening the distance between my speakers and the mixer and plugged the old, good cable in, and the noise disappeared.

the outlet i'm using isn't truly grounded, but i plugged the surge protector into a three pronged extension cable and plugged it into a GFCI, properly wired outlet, one i actually tested and it checked out to be perfectly functional. noise still persists.

the issue is the cables. i also have video proof of a prior setup that didn't involve a mixer or the old, good cables i was using. in the video it produces the exact same noises i'm hearing now, and it's the worst in games.

Did you unlock it before trying to defrag it?

I asked this in the PC build thread but didn't fully get the answer I was looking for, so I'll ask it here too.

I have a sound question. There's a game that DEMANDS Direct X 11 sound, but I can't figure out for the life of me how to figure out how Direct X even relates to sound at all. When you run the dxdiag tool all it says is the driver version is 6.something, which tells me exactly nothing. I can see what version of Direct X my graphics card uses easily, but is Direct X sound even a thing? I've scoured google and can't find even one explanation of how to figure out this bullshit.

>>58924187
Yes its set to auto mount at startup with veracrypt.

>>58924206
What game?

>>58924013
>>58924163
i should also add that i'm using headphones right now. the audio is crystal clear coming out of my PC's headphone jack, and out of my mixer's headphone jack. the noise only happens when i have any cables plugged in to the speakers.

lol why are you posting in the old thread?

>>58924267
That doesn't really help with my question. I'm just trying to figure out how Direct X sound ratings work.

>>58924372
k bye

>>58924206
it's probably referring to xaudio

directx isn't just direct3d, though direct3d is all anyone cares about anymore
