What is the difference between a fast format and a normal one?

>>59547659
Fast just erases the directory of files, full format erases the files themselves too.

>>59547588
I just answered this earlier today. Read your replies. Fast format does not overwrite old data with blank values. It just deletes the file allocation table and creates a new one.

>>59547659
Both options wipe the MFT, but full does a check for bad sectors too.

>>59547710
I see, thanks.

What is a good resource to learn R and statistical packages for R quickly? Trying to take a quick crash course. Udemy? Khan academy?

I have an abstract class to process some stuff that implements the logic of the various ways of receiving stuff to process (e.g reading, receiving a vector etc).
Different subclasses implement just the virtual method to process the stuff
The thing is, I want to parallelize this to make it quicker. What should I do? I thought of another class, a subclass of the abstract one but no matter what I can't keep it DRY.

>>59547749

What exactly do you want to parallelize / make quicker?

I'm sorry for such a consumer whore question but what are the better ruotors in the market today? I'm looking for a decent Au $100 with at least a GiB Ethernet port.

Should I turn my Raspberry Pi2B into a Bitcoin Core node? An i2p node? Or both (or is that too much)?

I'm building my first PC and I've got all the parts and shit coming in.

I haven't bought an OS yet, and I was wondering where I might get one for a decent enough price.
Ideally, I'd want Windows 8, but everywhere I look it's like $120, and I'm not paying that much for it.

Is there anywhere that sells the keys cheaper than that?
Piracy isn't out of the question, but I figured pirated os's raised red flags or didn't work.

I've got a laptop with Windows 8 on it as well, can I just transfer the serial number or something?
I honestly don't know how this shit goes.

[spoiler]I'm only really interested in Windows 8, so please refrain from suggesting other OS's[/spoiler]

Why is USB flash drive speed affected by amount of ram and how do I speed it up in Windows?
I have decent USB 3.0 drive with some portable applications that I use on two almost exactly same machines, but one has 8GB ram while another has only 4GB.
On 4GB machine everything is extremely slow, starting or exiting firefox takes 1 minute, starting gimp takes 3 minutes, turn-based ascii games like doomrl or cataclysm take 20 seconds to process each key input.
On 8GB machine everything works almost as fast as if it was installed on hdd.
I have tried swapping the ram around and confirmed that only amount of memory matters.
I have tried changing device performance and cache settings to no effect.
It does not affect USB HDDs, only flash drives.
It happens on any Windows version from vanilla 7 to up to date 10.
It does not happen in Linux, but I am forced to use Windows at work.
What the fuck is wrong with Windows?

>>59548348
Are you sure the 3.0/3.1 drive is plugged into the 3.0 USB port? It's blue. Also, some 3.0 USB ports aren't on by default, you have to activate them manually to get those lightning fast speeds.

Wut how could JavaScript slow down your site unless you have some retarded fucking jQuery plugins.

Stay away from large clunky jQuery plugins

I installed a 32-bit Fedora 25 w/ KDE Plasma on a very shitty laptop and I have to say, Fedora seems fucking stupid. Why the fuck would you have two package managers (yum and dnf) which don't even keep track of what the other manager has installed?

>>59548436
On a machine with 8GB ram flash drive works fast in either 2.0 or 3.0 ports.
On a machine with 4GB ram USB 2.0 HDD works fast but flash drive is slow.
By fast I mean 4-7 seconds to load Firefox, 30 seconds for gimp, instantaneous key press reaction in those games.
CrystalDiskMark shows adequate transfer speeds in all configurations so I guess it's something about IO sync and file caching oddly specific to usb flash drives.
Maybe I should try some of those applications that override OS disk caching tomorrow, but I did not want to use pirated software on a corporate machine.

Is there any way I can extract the firmware from my router to keep as backup?

the company that made it went bankrupt, and the site where it was sored disapeared without a trace.

can someone recommend a project idea for developing an Android Application, which should use at least one type of OS-related functionality. An OS-related functionality is something related to the Android OS or some type of system call. For example, you can develop a process manager to monitor the processes in the system. I cant think of anything. Help a dumbass out faggot.

Is the ryzen meme worth it?

>>59549421
not if you're upgrading from skylake or kabylake, unless you either have a lot of disposable income or have another use for the intel build like HTPC. maybe you want to encode/render video a couple minutes faster?

>>59548083
Does the processing of an element relate to other elements? If not, you can treat the array as a work queue and have the threads do each independently. You'll only need a single lock for the "pop" so it should be fairly efficient. If they are related, can you rearrange the problem/data structures so they can be? If not, well there are some problems that are basically impossible to parallelize efficiently.

>>59548477
Many format commands do that, but usually not by default. It's an option you need to enable.. What dedicated wipe tools specialize in is doing advanced wipes like multiple passes, alternating passes of all 1's and 0's, random data, etc.

>>59548980
Not from the GUI. You may be able could crack the case, solder some pins to the JTAG and read the firmware over serial. Honestly if this was within your abilities you probably wouldn't be asking about it here. You're more likely to brick your device than get the firmware.

>TV repair
Is this the 1960's?

>>59549702
Combination of the speed of light and voltage leaks. Gigahertz timing is in nanoseconds and an electrical pulse doesn't travel that far in a nanosecond. If you make them bigger, you'd have to slow the clock so things don't get out of sync. Also the longer the the charge has to go, the more electricity leaks and the more resistance there is in the paths which reduces efficiency and increase heat output.

>>59547872

We need materials that can have working transistors at lower voltages

The reason you need to increase voltages when overclocking is because 0s start otherwise being confused with 1s

I downloaded mpv as the /g/ wiki suggests it for video on Windows. How do I make it the default for video files? I found the default programs thing in windows and can change it to installed programs, but all I can find for mpv is a 7z with the program in it. Because of this Windows does not recognize it as an app. Is there a way I can install it or make Windows recognize that I have it or do I have to install something else so I don't have to open mpv before the video every time.

>>59549901
7nm is where the cap seemingly is with current technologies

There's some ideas about 5nm but nothing working has been done at least yet

Then there's some materials that can support working transistors at way lower voltages, the meme one is the graphene alloy one, apparently migh allow like 100-1000GHz, don't know if that's for whole CPUs

I don't understand this shit.

I use Cox Cable. Most of the time everything works fine, but some times, every few months, my upload speeds drop to 0, time after time after time.

I have no fucking idea what's causing it. I've had at least 4 of Cox's "technicians" (which are almost always dumb as bricks black guys who have no fucking idea what they're going) come out and fix nothing time after time after time. Last time I got a guy sent out, 2 days ago, the internet miraculously decided to work perfectly fine for the duration he was over at our house, and yet again it's fucking up once more, said they were getting a guy to run a tap on the line or something in 48 hours but it's past that and the problems are back again.

My question is, what the fuck could be causing this type of thing to happen? Most of the time only my upload speed seems to be effected. I'm relatively certain it's not my modem or my router, as I've had the modem replaced multiple times thinking it was the cause to no avail.

I'm also having extremely high packet loss as well. I can't even take speedtests right now because they literally won't finish, the upload speed is so low that it just sits around 0-0.1 and never ends.

Cox is basically of no help here. Every "technician" they send out is a retard and just bumbles around until they decide to leave without getting shit done. The only other thing I can think of is that the house has a large amount of splitters and whatnot, but my signal is supposedly good, or at least the last tech said that it was fine.

This shit is infuriating. Can't even upload an image to 4chan

The problem is that I can't just whitelist an app, it gives me something like this with an entry field

>>59549826
>>59549874
The transistors are part of it, but the speed of light is the main reason. Electricity travels about 9in/23cm in a wire in a nanosecond. At 5Ghz the clock is ticking every 0.2 nanoseconds, so the signal can only travel 1.8in/4.5cm per tick. That means every signal in the processor has to get from where it's start to where ever it's going in that distance. It sounds easy until you consider that the paths aren't straight from A to B, because the CPUs are densely packed and it will likely have to twist and turn all around the CPU to get there. This is why you start have stability issues at when you crank the overclock. Signals don't arrive in time, the CPU does weird things, and the computer crashes.

Are there projects that a programming newbie can contribute to?

Hey /sqt/
I'm trying to share my tethered LTE cell phone connectionwirelessly to my Xbox. I have pdanet and clockwordmod tether apps that get the connection to my laptop, but can't figure out how to either hotspot from the win10 based laptop or bridge the tethered connection to my laptops wifi adapter. I would just use my hotspot within the phone, but my provider limits it, whereas the tethered connection is full and unlimited. I've tried different apps on android but only luck, figured there might be a way to share it like you can with piggy backing another wifi source/repeater.

With the size of the core the temperature and the chance of a faulty logical gate in it rise real fast.

>>59550058
Doesn't a tick mean that a 1 just gets carried over to the next transistor which is very close? This fits the thread

>>59550064
Yes and no. If you've learned to program and you want to expand you horizons, projects almost always welcome small bug fixes and improvements. But if you are still learning the basics, then probably not. Open source projects are done by volunteers and they probably don't have time to teach you the basics and hold your hand.

I didn't say 5Ghz was impossibe, it just makes the numbers nice (e.g. 0.2ns). Crazy voltage helps the leading edge of the signal trigger correctly but at the high enough clock rate, no part of the signal will arrive so voltage won't help you.

Is there any way to declutter my documents folder? Every game creates their own folder to put their garbage data in instead of placing it in the "my games" folder that every reasonable game uses.

>"setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (ja_JP.UTF-8): No such file or directory"

what do?

>>59550167
No. Transistors are continuous, but you can have logic gates built out of transistors that do this. You don't want to do this all the way across the processor because then it slows everything down and you have to increase the clock rate just to get to get the same performance and you use a lot more transistors to implement this all. The clock is all about letting the signals propagate across the processor and all those interacting transistors get into a stable state before the data is synchronized by the clock at the "ends" but not in the "middle".

>>59550265
Not sure. It would depend on the exact processor. I'd guess 8Ghz is pushing it.

>>59550155
You're already introducing enough lag as it is, I wouldn't throw wifi in there. Just run ethernet from your laptop to your xbone. Also your provider might block ports.

I recently switched from Windows Phone (lol) to Android. I have some cheap LG Android phone. It's mostly fine, maps work a lot better, but the constant alerts are driving me insane.

Three questions:
1. How do I make calls/texts trigger vibration/sounds but nothing else (email, gchat, etc.) trigger vibration/sounds, but still have a visual indicator.

2. How do I mute specific people so that I still get their texts but I don't receive any notification whatsoever about them?

3. Some alerts are seemingly un-dismissable, like something that periodically tells me my keyboard is provided by LG or something to that effect. There are also incredibly frequent alerts that inform me that I can use wifi calling, and I don't care. These are all irritating, how do I make them go away permanently?

Fast format is like burning a phone book. Just because you can't locate/call anyone doesn't mean people don't exist anymore.

Low level formating constits in writing zeroes to every sectors of the disk.

A quick and easy way to acheive this without wiping the whole dirve is to create an empty file, and write zeroes in it until the drive is full. Thus every unused space (and potentially unlinked files) will be overwritten, and you keep the filesystem and every other "active" files in it.

I have an idea for creating an online multiplayer board game that people can "control" with their smartphones. Basically, a computer would serve as the "bigger screen," and the smartphones would be controllers. Players connect to the server and play. All they would be doing is pressing buttons on their phones to roll dice and perform actions.

What would be the best approach to doing this? I'm thinking making it a web app so the game can be accessed through web browsers regardless of the device the user has (iPhone or Android) and using a combo of Node.js, CSS, HTML, and various other things I might need. Is there anything I'm missing, or a better approach?

Is "early console in decompress_kernel" something I should be concerned about?

I'm looking at the viability of resurrecting some old pagers for simple message reception. Specifically, setting up a broadcast network in legal public frequencies and sending small 128 bit encrypted packages to be decrypted by the devices they were designed for. I don't own a proper cell tower or anything, but pagers were able to get by at 10x the distance to towers we now rely on, and only received tiny amounts of data. Is this doable as long as traffic is kept very low (myself and whomever I give a pager with modified receiver to), is it cool, is it secure from muh phone providers, and could modern devices reasonably pick up the same signals with only slightly modified hardware?
To clarify, I'm almost positive that I'll never do this, but rather I'm interested in the possibility.

I'm trying to install Ubuntu, one of the simplest tasks you can do, that I have done a hundred times in the past. This time however it just will not work. I've tried both regular Ubuntu and Ubuntu Gnome and every time I can get to the screen where I can choose if I want to install it or just try it out first, and when I choose install it goes to a black screen with my monitor's power button blinking as if it wasn't connected to anything.

I'm not the most experienced person with Linux, I only ever use it for fun or when I want to take a break from gaming, but every time I've installed it, it worked without a problem at all. I already just want to stick with windows after hours of this not working but I refuse to give up, does anyone have any idea where this is going wrong?

Quick question. I made a tree to load up all words in a dictionary into. Each level of the tree the next char in the word. If I call delete on the *letters member which is a CharNode, will delete recursively call the Destructor for each and every *letter in the array.

Class:

class CharNode {
   //Members
private:
   CharNode *myRoot;
   CharNode *letters[26];
   char data;
}

Destructor:

CharNode::~CharNode()
{
   delete myRoot;
   for (int k = 0; k < 26; k++)
      delete letters[k];
}

So I am calling delete on each letter pointer in the array. Will delete keep calling the destructor and perfectly manage all of my memory, or is this wishful thinking and I'm going to have to write some recursive method to be used in the destructor to handle it?

I have literally never seen an android keybpard saving frequently typed words from password input boxes, never once.

Really, keyboards learning ANYTHING at all from secured input boxes is something i never seen or heard before

Yeah, it has me confused too, especially the bit about not being able to drag the suggestion and remove it. But it 100% definitely learned it from the password box, it won't even suggest it elsewhere, only in the password box on my employer's website. It's the only place I've ever typed that particular password too. Not even a Chrome thing it's in a properly configured Firefox.

Was it the actual drive that died?
I've had the USB controller board in the enclosure break but was able to take the actual drive out and use it.
Anyway, I keep mine unplugged to extend it's life indefinitely.

Why does it matter which order I do this in?

Route::post('/posts/delete', 'PostsController@delete');
Route::post('/posts/{id}', 'CommentController@newComment');

somehow my /posts/delete calls up newComment if I put it before the delete route

wait a sec, just realized.. {id} matches 'delete' too? is that's what's going on?

>>59554375
>But it 100% definitely learned it from the password box, it won't even suggest it elsewhere, only in the password box on my employer's website.
If it only happens in that specific password boxand not in others(did it ever save other passwords you typed in other password input boxes?), then it's their site fault, not your keyboard, is the way the input box is set that makes it so the text typed in it can or can't be saved for suggestions

Got 3 free mikrotiks from work, currently have a mikrotik at home, is basic router doing Nat and DHCP
I want to use these new 3 routers as wireless APs (better wifi), I figure 3 should nicely cover 2.4 and I can dot them around my house
So my basic steps in configuration was to assign them each static IPs, disable NAT and DHCP and bridge in eth0 so it just shares everything, then set the ssid and pass to the same thing on all, disable wifi on my current mikrotik

Problem is they're fucking gay
Acting erratically and just dropping off the network (even if I plug an Ethernet right into it it won't show up), and I have to reset them and start again. I managed to get one of them working as intended following those steps but when I switched from Ethernet to wifi it shat the bed and had to be reset.

It could be caused by a number of things, but I will try to explore the options you can mostly do yourself:
- Check to see if you're using the correct cable outlet, sometimes additional cable outlets are sprtead around the house. You want to find the first one that connects directly to the oputside and make sure your modem is connected there. This might be a hassle, but you can try it for testing purposes before figuring out how to set it up there permanently.
- Switch out the coax cable for a new one
- Complete factory reset of the modem, usually by pressing a little button inside a pinhole for about a minute (make sure the modem is powered on when you do this)

If this doesn't work:
- Have your isp swap out your modem.
- A Bandpass filter might be needed if there is something affecting the frequency, like a radio tower nearby. Your isp will need to take care of this
- Lastly if nothing helps you, you should keep calling your ISP untill they get their act together and fix the service you're paying them for.

I have a AMD Radeon graphics card which may be not supported by Ubuntu 16.04.
What should I do? Will upgrading to Ubuntu 16.10 or downgrading to 14.04 solve the issue? If yes, will it work as good as the graphics card works on Windows? Also will have to configure my computer or will the system work perfectly after upgrading or downgrading?

Am I damaging my computer by not using a OS supporting the graphics card?
Also my laptop takes like ~50 seconds to boot? Is that because of the incompatible graphics card?

Would a CSS rule affect both of the <p> elements or only the one outside of the PHP?

I would buy a used T or X series Thinkpad. Old Thinkpads don't hold their value very well so you can get some great hardware for really cheap. Just make sure you buy from a seller that has pictures of the actual laptop you will get and images of the bios to make sure its not locked.

I have installed OpenWRT 10.03.1 on it (which I believe is the latest supported version for this particular machine) but it's becoming quite old (released in 2010).

Depends. It can eat more watts / make more heat / run on 100%.

> Also my laptop takes like ~50 seconds to boot? Is that because of the incompatible graphics card?
Or other quirks. The kernel can have 100000 quirks in it with dirty fixes. If you boot Linux "verbose" (by modifying grub entry), you can see what's causing the issue.

Just buy an Intel GPU laptop. (I know, I suffered with a Radeon for years on Linux. Never again.)

How are people still not using KeePass?

- Open source
- Fully encrypted with good customisation
- Great security features (e.g. secure desktop on windows, so when you type your master password it goes in a full-screen popup similar to windows's own User Account Control, to prevent keyloggers)
- Password storage full of features
- Easy to use despite all that
- Available on pretty much anything, except the Mac port is shit. I can vouch for how great the Android app is.

Given that it's fully encrypted on your local machine (presumably with a huge-ass password, otherwise you're a moron) there's basically no downside to sticking the database file into your dropbox (which is what I do). When dropbox gets hacked nobody will be able to get your passwords.

What do you mean?

You can split your passwords into several databases, you can make backups of your database files. You're as likely to lose that as any other file on your local or on the cloud.

Regarding security, you can use a key file instead of a password if you're really that worried about brute forcing (or you can use enough key transforms to limit guesses to like 1/sec - I have it set to around 2mil). By default it uses AES-256 which is unbreakable using current technology and knowledge.

>>59557513
But you have ONE master password/keyfile

Password managers are a security risk

You create teirs of passwords for different security levels.Its not hard to create a 6+ word sentence for each of your banking/taxes/payment/etc sites

>>59557738
Everything's a risk, it's a trade off.

If you've got a keylogger or malware on your machine you're already screwed, and if you log in to stuff even without a password managed they'll get that anyway.

I have literally never heard of a phishing attack that can get users to reveal their master password to their offline password manager.

>>59557806
Songs have very low entropy. A good password has high entropy. If you use something like a song or a quote, that's very very bad. A phrase of random words strikes a good balance, but in the end you'll still need to memorise a large amount of unrelated words. A scheme to derive passwords is also not good, it's absolutely trivial to try a couple thousand permutations to see if something works and if it does, now the hacker knows you likely use a similar scheme in other passwords too.

And again, MULTIPLE DATABASES. If you're really paranoid, keep your banking password in your head. Make a database for personal emails and social networks connected to your IRL identity. Make a database for accounts related to a particular aspect you do, e.g. technical accounts needed for work. Make another database for random forum and pizza shop logins.

>>59557738
>malware
>keylogger
>RAT
If you've been compromised in any way like that you're fucked either way.

Sure having 1 password to store all your other passwords is a security risk but it's the best solution that I'm aware of.
The security risks that come from reusing any password are massive compared to using a password manager. And because of the amount of accounts I have remembering a unique password for each one is not a viable option.
Also I'm not suggesting to put all your passwords into a password manager either, only to use it as an addition.

>browser extension
There's your problem. Keepass is its own software, and like I mentioned you can enable "Secure Desktop" to have the entire screen dim when entering your master password just like with windows UAC.

You can't spoof that with webpages and popups.
