Hello /sqt/! Looking for help with my little sister's Android phone. I recently bought her an LG K7 to replace her older and obsolete LG L90 that was 4G only. Issue is that the phone only came with 8GB internal storage. 4GB of which is already taken up by Android OS. We're on the T-Mobile network and her phone is currently on Android 5.1.1 with all security patches. As far as I know, 5.1.1 is incapable of formatting her microSD storage for use as internal storage as that's an Android 6.0.1 benefit.

Is there anything or any app I can use to force installed apps onto the SD card without breaking functionality? She uses Snapchat, Kik, and other such teenage girl apps to do her equivalent of shit posting with her friends.

Otherwise we're stuck waiting for the 6.0.1 OTA update (if the K7 will even get it at all). Help me help my imoto /g/. I feel bad enough as it is having bought her that phone. Seemed too good to be true at $90 brand new. Should have just bought her the Samsung S6 they had for $200.

This is a repost from the last thread.

Stupid questions will always come to /g/. Help with a problem, buying advice for various things, and overall inquiries of relative technology relation that are undeserving of their own threads. Think of this as a containment thread. Similar to XYZgeneral threads for various topics across other boards on this Tibetan throat singing chat catalogue.

I'm using the type Object because my list has 2 different class of objects stored in it and I'm wondering whether I can call a method which both classes share without specifically knowing which class the object is? I'm working with java. My problem is that Java says that the method is undefined for type object.

Looks like no actual hard drive, just eMMC

>>59583761
there's no space in there for a hdd

my guess is the four chips along the left side are the SSD/eMMC, non-upgradable
you'll need to use a usb drive or sd card if it has a slot to add more storage

also, be careful putting the RF shield back on, make sure it lines up properly with the rectangle on the mainboard
if you fuck that up you might kill it

how do you even prevent browser fingerprinting?

how do you prevent giving out personal information like browsing habits?

i'd settle for just making it more difficult to collect information on me instead of total prevention because i'm actually a total nobody. it just feels like 1984's around the corner these days

leaving videos/music in the background should be no problem on that hardware

are you running the games from your SSD or HDD?
if hdd, perhaps check it's not too fragmented
are you playing online? you could be mistaking network lag for fps drops

>>59584006
You read that somewhere or you just assuming? Also you could always through a lightweight linux distro on there. SD cards come pretty big these days.

>>59584012
I don't trust PNYs

>>59584055
Why though? If I'm not mistaken, PNY has a lifetime warranty on their products if you register then on the website. A lot of people seems to just not like the brand but have no actual reason.

>>59584053

look up: libreboot
choose a linux distro from this page: https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.en.html (debian without non-free packages is fine too)
use firefox or a firefox derivative with addons like: ublock origin, noscript, https everywhere, betterprivacy, self destructing cookies, privacy badger, and in your case something like random agent. You can look up more at the /g/ wiki: https://wiki.installgentoo.com/

>tldr, use an OS and computer without backdoors and install a few addons.

>>59584220

Betterprivacy is unnecessary now. Firefox handles flash cookies like regular cookies. Also ideally you wouldn't install flash or for that matter java.

Also I dont trust those pc building retards so I just ask it here.

i tried a few free tools, but ntlite does more, most importantly, it can remove windows update backups, making it possible to update windows, and strip it back to near it's original size (at the cost of not being able to uninstall updates)

Hello. Is this tech support?

Is it somehow possible to bypass program activation during setup?
The thing is that I actually bought this program back in the day. The activation process goes something like this:
>open setup
>setup generates you a key, different key in every computer
>have to send the key to program dev
>dev sends back serial key
>open setup again, insert serial key
>setup installs, program works etc
The problem is that it seems like the dev doesn't really give a fuck anymore and doesn't reply to my emails. The company which he used to work under has been gone since 2014-15 or something similar to that.

I want to build a nas using mdadm.
Ideally I want the computer to hold up to 6 hdds. I do not have an old pc at home that I can reuse for this purpose. I was looking at buying an old pc which has at least 4 sata ports on the motherboard (I could add more usign a pci-e card). The problem is that most optiplexes and thinkstations sold on cragislist only have 1-2 sata ports and their cases are too small to hold 6 hdds. My budget for building the nas is no more than 200$ (without hdds). Do you guys have any recommendations?

I'm really sick of installing pirated crappy photoshop. is gimp really suitable, all I do is make meme images, crop things and maybe edit wallpapers.

GIMP has a shitty interface but it's powerful and can probably do everything you need. It works fine once you get used to it.

Depends on what kind of partition you're shrinking.

Active partition / system from recovery / recovery from system: You basically won't.

Linux partition: You should probably use GParted instead.

BIOS/EFI partition: Don't.

>>59587857
GIMP is definitely everything you'll ever need but its weird quasi-mac interface takes some getting used to. Some things I can tell you right now so you won't have to learn them the hard way:
>selecting or changing a selection is treated as a change to the file and can be undone
>moving a selection moves the dotted selection lines only; if you want to move the selected region of the image, you have to cut and paste it, drag the paste to where you want it, and click the surrounding image once with the selection tool (r) to anchor the pasted region there
>same thing when you want to apply a transformation to a selected region and not the whole image: you have to cut and paste it first, and then anchor it when you're done transforming it
>it usually does you good to anchor to a new layer (right click menu), not to the same one you cut or copied from
>the grid (under view) is your friend
>iwarp (under filters) is the best thing ever
>so is the magic wand tool (u)
>so is the color selection tool (shift+o)
>so is the selection feathering dialogue (under select)

I built a new PC recently that can get over 1,000 FPS in my favorite game. This produces GPU coil whine, however. I've capped the FPS at 250, and it prevents the coil whine, so all good on that front.

how the fuck do I set time on kindle classic 5?
I'm not signed up with amazon since it doesn't even provide services in my country and my device language is set to english UK.
Now that we switched to summer time my device is two hours behind but there is no way to actually set time and date. I connected to wi-fi once but it didn't adjust the clock then and since I don't use amazon or browse from kindle I have airplane mode on at all times to save the battery.

all the options in the settings are:
aeroplane mode
wi-fi
registration
password
device language
device info (doesn't offer any options, just displays serial number)
dictionaries
page refresh

even the manual says there should be a device time option there but there isn't
does this mean that in order to have correct time displayed I would have to submit do amazon's surveillance?

Hi all, struggling a bit with getting started with Go.

I have a dir with the following structure.

|- Go
  |- myProgram
    |- src
      |- a
        |- a_test.go
      |- b
      |- b
        |- c.go
      |- mian.go

I have added the '\..\..\go' directory to my GOPATH, and this shows in the error I am getting.

File a_test.go has;

package a

import (
    "testing"
    "myProgram/c"
)

My c.go has;

package c

Yet when I sit in the /Go/myProgram/src/ directory and run 'go test ./a' I get the following output;

PS E:\Programming\Go\MyProgram\src> go test ./a
# _/E_/Programming/Go/myProgram/src/a
a\a_test.go:7:3: cannot find package "myProgram/c" in any of:

So I 've got a 4k TV now, but here's the problem:

I have an Xbox One. The newer slim models have a 4k blu-ray player and can stream Netflix via 4k. I hate my Xbox One, I think it's a monumental waste of money, I get pissed off just looking at it and remembering all the money I wasted to buy the special white Sunset Overdrive one, and if I buy an Xbone S, it's literally just going to be a glorified 4k blu-ray player

My main gaming PC is also plugged into said TV, but I've never found a reason in the last 13 years to upgrade away from my DVD drive, but I wouldn't even know if my PC is powerful enough to playback a 4k blu-ray (FX-8350, GTX 1070, Windows is noticeably slow unless I'm only displaying to the 4k TV, and even then, it can slow to a crawl when watching stuff through MPC-HC without warning for no reason.)

I live in Canada with it's beautiful data caps, so torrenting and streaming all my 4k content is not an option

On top of all of this, my surround sound receiver is also old and only does 1080p over HDMI, so it's either 1080p + 5.1, or 4k + 2ch stero via fiber optic wire that runs from my TV to the receiver.

I don't know a single goddamn thing about surround sound, speakers, receivers, etc., and I wasn't even planning on making the jump to 4k now, so my question is:

What the fuck do I even do? Just pretend it's a 1080p TV for now until I can afford to get a new surround receiver that supports 4k, then get a 4k blu-ray player when they stop costing more than a paycheck? With my specs, is it normal for my PC to be slow as balls when outputting 3840 x 2160 to only one screen?

Hooking up a Freenas drive via ubuntu.

this thing is powerful enough for 4k easily, just make sure your media player supports hardware acceleration.

So I have recently come across MPV and I am a little overwhelmed. I have heard enabling some sort of frame interpolation is possible and I am curious. First thing is I tried to find a config file because that was not in the zip folder. Eventually i found a website that pointed to here
>C:\Users\ **** \AppData\Roaming\mpv

That folder did exist but it was empty so I made a mpv.conf file. Now I am on the hunt for how to enable interpolation of some kind. I found a post on forum where someone posted a snippet of their config file that went like this:

>profile=opengl-hq
>video-sync=display-resample
>blend-subtitles=yes
>interpolation=yes
>tscale=oversample

So I pasted that into the file and I cannot really tell a difference in the file that I played. I am not sure if anything is different or if the MPV program is even reading from the config file that I made. SO I am not sure where to go from here. A lot of the stuff I have found on this is talking about a linux system and running stuff from the command line.
So anyone here have some experience with this?

>If I want to have access to my server (email, dropbox, etc) from outside my home network, should I be afraid of others getting into my network?

Yes, you should be paranoid.

>I use SSH, and I know I'm a small fish in a big pond when it comes to hacking targets, but it scares me a little.

It doesn't matter how small you are. You're going to be probed by botnets for vulnerabilities.

We know that SSD's have weird firmware features that move fragments of files or even whole files that were deleted into reserved, hidden spaces on the drive inaccessible to the operating system, or something to that effect.

What I want to know is, with full disk encryption using dmcrypt + LUKS, or any other program, does the encryption carry over the the entirety of the drive including the inaccessible space, or does it only encrypt the whole drive as seen and available to the OS only?

1. Install fail2ban

2. In your ssh config, disable password-based auth and root login

3. Check logs occasionally to make sure no one else has gotten in

4. Reduce your attack surface by not having a bunch of services open to WAN. Ideally only have your ssh port open and just proxy anything else through that. If you're going to serve a website of some kind, make sure you use https and some kind of authentication in place. Familiarize yourself with security best practices for apache/nginx/whatever webserver you're using. (don't run as root, be careful with permissions, etc.)

5. Optionally change your ssh port to something high and obscure. It won't make things much more secure, but it will at least cut down on log spam from chinese bots trying and failing to log in.

Do the above and you should be reasonably safe from most random threats.

Now where could my pipe be?

I'm getting an old PC for free. It has decent hardware for its time: i3 540 (LGA1156), gtx460se, 4gb ddr3 ram. I want to use it as a home server & NAS.

What should I do with it hardware-wise? Also I don't want to lose the Win 7 host OS, will running a server OS in a VM accomplish what I want to do?

looking to spend under 150$ if possible but if something is good enough quality i can spend a bit extra

if it's cheap enough i'd like to buy two to replace both my monitors

How to remove telemetry from windows 7?

I have a Samsung J6201 tv with optical audio and I bought a Samsung HW-J250 sound bar that also has it. I was trying to configure my television remote to be able to control the soundbar volume when it's connected and the TV audio isn't outputting, but no success. The TV doesn't seem to recognize the sound bar. Any ideas?

Alternatively, I'd consider connecting the sound bar volume to my cable remote (which coincidentally is also Samsung, through Brighthouse/Spectrum), but I'm not sure how to do it. (I think it requires some code?)

Alt. 2, Do you think a universal remote from Walmart or something could work to control cable, tv, soundbar?

I'm having trouble downloading files from an externally mounted camera to my laptop, it'll run the process bar for a few minutes, then say "There was a problem."
I think it may just be that the file sizes are too large, these are chunks of video footage that total out to an hour in total, but I have no way of cutting them down before downloading them.

Any suggestions on getting them onto the computer?

>>59593889
Well it would be an OS drive, encrypted before the OS was installed.

Hello boyos. I live in a shitty third world country and soon I'm gonna leave to a less shitty one where I'll continue my GD studies. I'm gonna need a laptop because a lot of the classes require one, it'd be hard to transport a desktop by plane and buying new pieces where I'm going isn't an option as pretty much every tech is expensive as fuck there.

I have this one in mind (Asus K555uq) and it comes with a i7-6500u, 12 GB RAM DDR3L, 1tb HDD and an GeForce 940mx. It costs around 850 USD when converted from COP. Local buy because buying from Amazon or Newegg isn't an option either (shipping is too expensive even by courier)

Is it a good laptop? Is that a fair price? Would it be good for design and 3D?can I play modern games? (I don't care for ultra 1080p, med - high is good for me)

>inb4 "check the wiki"
Already did, couldn't find any of the recommended models here

>inb4 "Google some benchmarks"
The most I find are from the same series but with different specs (8 ram, 930mx, i5 and such)

I got accepted to a Masters program the other day, with a pretty significant scholarship.

I'm in the last few weeks of my undergraduate degree, and I have a phone interview for a front end web dev job coming up.

I have the option to deffer the Masters program offer for a year, and ideally I would do that and work for a year at the job that I'm going to be interviewing for. (I'm pretty sure I will get hired there)

Would it be shitty of me to work for a year without mentioning the Masters program, or to imply that I chose to work for them instead of going?

Am I an asshole for not tipping the Amazon guy? I usually tip at restaurants and for pizza and stuff but these Amazon couriers get paid a decent wage already don't they? And it's not like they can even see what I tipped them right away so it's not like I'm gonna get judged right to my face.

>>59594173
I've never tipped delivery people that weren't the pizza/asian food delivery ones. You're probably overthinking it.

Maybe it's different in the US though.

>>59594227
Just makes me guilty because they always put this "suggested tip: 5.00" and I have to manually set it to $0 and feel like a shithead every time.

Not that I use the service all that often, but it still defeats the feeling of getting a decent deal on something (and many of the products there are priced surprisingly well considering the type of service it is) when I have to fork over a bunch of dollars to the guy bringing it to me.

Well I feel you, honestly I've never liked this tipping mentality and I envy country which do not practice it (like Japan, to not sound like a weeab, where they blantantly refuse any money you'd want to throw at them).

They should just get paid more, we shouldn't have to tip them whatever money on top of getting the service we already paid for and getting guild tripped if we don't.

>What should I do with it hardware-wise?
desu if you aren't going to be streaming/transcoding HD video, hardware almost doesn't matter (except hard drives, obviously).

>Also I don't want to lose the Win 7 host OS
Why? All OS jerking aside, linux is a much better OS for something that's supposed to sit in your closet and just do it's thing with minimal babysitting.

>will running a server OS in a VM accomplish what I want to do?
Technically yes, but you aren't going to get the best performance out of it. With only 4gb of ram, you're not going to be able to run more than a couple vms really without starving the host os.

All-in-all I would recommend just buying a raspberry pi and a couple of good hard drives for a basic entry-level NAS setup and/or a refurbed r710 or something off ebay for a virtualization playground.

Are those ultra-small USB drives that barely stick out of the port a meme?

I'm looking for something around 128GB that has sane USB3.0 read/write speeds. Nobody really reviews usb sticks, although I did find one old website that benchmarked a 64GB version of what I was considering (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B016ZSZUAU/ ) and it came out to like 40MB/s write, but almost everywhere else I look they don't top 10MB/s.

On a similar note, has anybody used Patriot? This is apparently pretty nice https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00EWHNHMA but I've literally never heard of the brand before, and I'm not sure if I'd rather stick to samsung or corsair or something.

>>59594782
I've used sandisk and patriot all of this millenia

>>59594782
Both are fine. Tiny is usually more expensive because they cram more stuff into a smaller space. patriot is a fine brand.

>>59594782
I've got a SanDisk one, you'll probably find more reviews of that one as opposed to the Samsung one. It can get insanely hot though with how small it is when in use and I found on my old tablet it'd drain battery pretty quickly.

I can run my Sandisk through H2test if you want desu

If I require encryption on my torrent client and proxy the torrents through Tor will the host of the relay be able to see that I'm downloading it? Would they be able to see what I'm downloading?

I knew that, but is it necessary when I'm uploading files to Box for my own personal use? Surely any file I upload anywhere can be traced back, even the file you just used there. So why rename them if I'm uploading?

Also, is it a bad idea to have Screencaps in there? Not just of 4chan threads, but of personal shopping stuff etc.

Best program to check a HDD's health etc?

I remember reading it in Amazon comments where people would test HDDs they'd receive to know whether it was new or not but I can't remember the name. Incidentally I'd like to see how my 10y old Seagate is doing by curiosity.

>>59594980
Oh fuck. How did I miss this.

>>59595477
If you don't care about examining the physical layer of the HDD, use HDtune or a S.M.A.R.T checking utility.

If you do want to test the computer on a sector by sector basis in real time, check out the program MHDD.
