Why is UTF-8 variable length? What's the benefit?

why does 1060 has twice less cores but performs the same as rx 480

>Why is UTF-8 variable length? What's the benefit?
Only needing a few bits to represent your basic character space means that you're saving space. You also avoid dealing with endianess.

shitload of commands requiring you to do shit like compile a tar ball from source and configure it with a bunch of specific commands that i don't know

Why.

>>59918831
Core count is irrelevant. It's only useful when comparing within the same family of chipsets. People often make that mistake when putting AMD up against their competitors.

why does plugging my monitor into my integrated graphics card (rather than my gpu) only let me output at 1280x1024?

>>59918874
You're not sticking to the user friendly distros/installers. That's your own fault.

is there any program that allows you to adjust the speed of play back during playback (affecting both tempo and speed, like with analog equipment)? Ideally it would be something with a dial/slider

Why can't I fucking install Windows 7 on my skylake machine? Tried using the USB patch program from an Anon last thread and still got the same problem "A Required CD/DVD Drive Device Driver is Missing for Windows 7 Installation". I tried to install on a DVD and it stuck at 0% at "Expending Windows files" during the installation and after a while I got the 0x080070017 error. I don't want to switch to 8.1 or 10, 7 is god tier.

Here's my full pc specs:
i7 6700k
msi z270 gaming m7
1080ti
250gb ssd + 2tb hdd

Any suggestion? I might switch to Ubuntu but it has no gaymes and this machine is wayyy too overkill for gnu/linux anyways

should i have a separate home and root partitions? why / why not?

windows 7 can't into USB3, either put the USB drivers (chipset if it's onboard) onto it and select them at that screen or use a USB2 port if you still have one.

I'd run through your bios settings. Make sure AHCI is on, raid is off. Secureboot/UEFI to legacy. USB might also have a legacy setting.

Double check you patched your windows disk with the USB drivers. Also how did you make your USB?

MSI has their own application for patching Windows 7 installation media, have you tried that?

>>59919607
what i usually do is look for the checksum in the mydigitallife forums, they have a post for that. after that, i use it as a search on google and usually get 2 or 3 links to the iso file. after downloading i run sha1sum on the file and if they're identical i'm golden

Guys how hard would it be to build something that

1.scrapes information off ebay like buyer email address + quantity

2a.Creates login details from the browser Webmin of a server by entering 3 different strings and selecting 1 option from a drop down menu
2b. Downloads a string and a zip file.

3. Create an email from a template, enter in scraped Ebay email address + downloaded string + attach zip file.

4. Once email sent, send email, leave feedback and mark as dispatched in ebay.

Can I adjust the volume for individual audio channels in VLC/MPC or whatever?
For example I download some motorsport with a separate commentary track and I want to lower the volume of the commentary only. I can do this by importing to Audacity, but then it's obviously a bit of a mess to keep in sync with the video

I am trying to play a visual novel which worked fine a couple of months ago, but every time I try to launch it now I get this message. Any ideas?

>>59919743
No. Virus scans don't even write or move anything. Defragmentation isn't so much harmful as it is pointless. Physical location is meaningless to an SSD. What the OS sees is just an abstraction created by the controller.

What is a good video codec to encode to nowadays? got a bunch of family videos that I'm planning to reduce somewhat in size without sacrificing too much in overall quality.

>>59920007
for storage? HEVC/VP9
otherwise it depends on what devices you want to play them on.

>>59920017
device playback is not a big concern, this is going straight to archive.

is handbrake still ok? or is there a better alternative nowadays?

>>59920045
ffmpeg is the best tool for video encoding.

hmm, I didn't think of that. I need to be able to make very fine adjustments; I'm working digitized tape recordings and I'm trying to correct them by comparing them by ear to another recording simultaneously. I'm not sure if VLC has that kind of precision. thank you though I will check it.

>>59918921
Audacity has a temporary slider in its transcription menu. And there is a tempo changer and a speed changer.

>>59920339
Command line is unintuitive, it gives you no indication as to what options are available, and will have you beating your head against the wall.
ffmpeg also has a shitty AAC encoder.

>>59920469
it might be a bit harder to get a grasp first, but once you know them I feel like I'm much more in control than some clicky UI.
Especially that some don't even give me all the options.
Just yesterday I had to render a video from after effects and it didn't have a CRF option for h264, so I had to export it lossless and run it through ffmpeg afterwards.

Personally I'd rather look up what I can do than having to sift through pages of checkboxes and radiobuttons.

>>59920399
Eh, I just checked it, it sucks. There's no slider or anything. Sorry to have wasted your time.

Can this thing be made into a word processing/spreadsheeting/researching machine? Perhaps by installing linux to a flash drive and booting from that?

A fan died in my real PC's power supply, causing it to overheat to the point of shooting sparks out of the back. The PSU and motherboard are fried, possibly the CPU/RAM/GPU as well.
So I'm burrowing a 10 year old Vista PC with these stats so I can survive my 19 credit hour course load this semester.

Thing is, it's so bogged down it hardly runs. It took me over an hour to get it booted up, speccy downloaded, and this post typed up to ask this question.

I want to return the PC as I got it, so I don't want to go deleting a lot of files and uninstalling a lot of applications.

So: Is there a linux distro I could throw on a thumb drive that would let me access university research portals as well as software like Word and Excel so I can get my research done and then just return the PC next month? I'm used to using PCs that wipe themselves between uses, because that's what my uni uses on campus, so having to back up all my work online is no big deal.

>>59921745

Does the computer have multiple hard drives? Maybe you could clean off one of those, format it, and install a secondary OS on there instead of a USB drive.

No, there's just some authentication in the background. It can bog down the uni computers every now and then, but it never slowed down my home PC.

I've heard 19-25 becomes more common as you approach grad school, but at my current pre-bachelor's level, I know nobody else taking so many hours.

Plus it's all STEM courses, so I'm spending 12-14 hours a day, 7 days a week studying nuclear chemistry, electromagnetism, strength of materials, calculus, learning to code, etc while driving an hour a day to get to campus and doing all of my own cooking/cleaning/yard work/etc.

I was handling it all just fine, until my computer exploded. Now my straight As are slipping and I'm faced with the prospect of taking 2 or even 3 Bs if I can't do work in the evenings and on weekends while I'm off-campus.

>>59921905
I'm currently doing all of my online work on-campus, but the uni has pretty limited computer hours. 9 pm is the latest any computer lab on campus is open, and 7:30 is the earliest any are open. I USED to stay up till midnight every night working, so this has cost me 3 hours a day, 15+hours per week I'd rather spend studying.

>Does the computer have multiple hard drives? Maybe you could clean off one of those, format it, and install a secondary OS on there instead of a USB drive.
It does not, but if I can find a spare cable I do have spare HDDs lying around I could plug in, format, and boot from.

I guess I can reframe my question:
Sounds like this PC isn't going to be super useful.
Where could I get recommendations on good laptops for students?
I can probably muster a budget of $1k and a laptop will be better than another desktop, so I can't build my own PC, like I'm used to.
So how do I know what's good when all the review sites are paid shills?
How can I maximize my investment?
(And will I still be able to use my mechanical keyboard with a laptop to spare the laptop some wear and tear?)

>>59922773
Well, modern laptops usually use USB. If it has a parallel port, I imagine it might be using something else, maybe PS/2.
Keep in mind that you won't find a usb plug inside your laptop, you'll still have to solder it yourself.

>>59922874
Yeah I understand, I think that thing has USB ports too, but I'll check it out when I get to it.

I meant for me, personally.

A laptop I can take to class or work on in the more secluded library study areas, away from the rows of communal computers, and then still use at home in the evenings and over the weekends, will be better than a traditional desktop that's anchored to my desk at home, sitting unused for 20 hours out of the day during the week.

If I'm going to drop $1k on a computer with my current schedule, I want something mobile. For example, I'm in a study group for one of my physics classes that meets in the classroom 2 hours before class and works until class starts. Most of the rest of the group has a laptop and can work on that while we all work. I don't, and it puts me at a noticeable disadvantage as I sit there and work everything out by hand with a pencil and paper and lug around a massive textbook that cost me $300 used while they have bookmarked pdfs they found for free.

The issue is, again, how to find trustworthy rankings of laptop computers.

>>59919323
What a pansy

>>59923914
>rankings of laptop computers.
They're all shit. How about start there.

$1k on a laptop is $1k you WILL absolutely regret spending.

If you absolutely need a mobile computer, get a cheap Chromebook. They're still shit but at least you won't pay $1k.

>>59923899
plug it into the wall wart it came with.

>>59923990
At a minimum I need enough processing and memory to do Excel operations with hundreds of data points, juggle 4 Word documents with 10-60 pages each, and have 12+ Chrome tabs open. I don't think a Chromebook can handle all of that.

But an i5 with 8 gigs of ram that could handle all of that costs $400-600. So why not just go in an extra $500 and get something that claims it can run modern games on mid to high settings while I'm at it?

>>59923707

If American, Vocational/Tech school or Community College.
Take one class over the summer at either and see if you like it and can handle the schedule and work. If you can't, nobody will want you for an employee anyhow.

Money's not much of an option, either. Fill out a FAFSA if going to a community college for CIT and if you're poor you can get like $5000 per year towards school that you never have to pay back, plus an additional $3-5k of subsidized loans with no interest until you're 6+ months out of school.

You could easily get an associates, learn python, C++, Java, Javascript, etc in 2 years at a community college for free if you're poor, and for $8k or less if you're not. And they could expose you to cybersecurity, crypto tech, systems administration, etc.

I know a guy making $80k/year running IT for a company of ~400 people off of just an associates degree and about 4 certifications he picked up while he was getting his associates. iirc he got A+ certified, some Cisco networking cert, and two microsoft certs and also had a networking class prior to community college that taught him how to run ethernet cables, wire wall jacks, etc.

Try plugging headphone directly into soundcards in turn to see where the noise is coming from.

I have no qualifications or certs in IT at the moment. I come here to ask for some guidance on where I should start. For example I could start by getting CompTIA/CCNA/Cisco/CEH certifications or start by doing a course in IT at a college or even apply for an apprenticeship (UK).

I wonder

>>59925651
>>59926852
what motherboard is this? what year/chipset?
did you consider it might be too old to boot from USB?

>>59926394
Yes?
The CPU doesn't list the support becuase 3000MHz is "Overclocked".

how do i into VPNs and proxies?

>>59926858
Well, a standard wireless adapter is almost half the price. Thanks anyway

>>59926891
get a vpn
enter it into your vpn settings
connect to it
done

ignore proxies, they're dead.

>>59926637
Reboot and it shouldnt start the service

>>59926903
whats the best VPN? preferaly one that lets me choose a country and isnt hotspot shield

Lets say I wanted to dedicate a PC to run Windows XP virtualized and I wanted to do that without running a heavy host OS in the background.

Do solutions exist which is basically just the virtualization software and then Windows XP on top of that?

>>59926881
i'm not really sure how to open the back, but it's a sony vaio pcg-c1vn, definitely pretty old. if it doesn't have a disc drive and the hard drive doesn't work what am i supposed to do?

>>59926916
I had it turned off though.

>>59926929
thanks anon <3

>>59926923
Look into ESXi and Xen.
ESXi is the VMware software.
Xen is the FOSS solution.

>>59926940
It should be a "Removable Device"

every time i turn on my pc, i have to go into nvidia control panel to select the "use nvidia settings" option in my color settings. is there a way to set this up as the default option to automatically kick in? i see the color change for a split second when the desktop loads, but then it reverts to the windows color settings. shits annoying.

So I made the mistake of majoring in [spoiler]game design[/spoiler] and now I kinda know programming but my code is complete shit. To git gud should I forget everything I know and start over or build upon my shitty fragmented knowledge?

When i click download torrent (when there is no magnet option) Firefox downloads a .Torrent file for me to manually double click and then opens in my torrent client. Is there a way to make clicking the button automatically start downloading the file?

this thing predates USB-booting. forget it.
I'd say anything past 2008 can reliably boot from USB, but not something that old.

>>59926964
still quickly gives me "Operating System not found". almost makes me feel like it doesn't try or check. it really sucks that there isn't a button i can press for boot load menu, like f5 or something

>>59926982
Yeah, it's probably my biggest regret in life

>>59926999
What OS are you trying to boot?
How did you make your USB drive?

>>59926990
what can i do then?

>>59927013
already answered, but lubuntu and unetbootin

>>59927035
Try writing it with rufus.
I've had varying results with unetbootin
If you're using Linux to write it, dd is your friend.

>>59927035
disc/floppy.

>>59927086
no disc drive. only one usb port.

It has been years since I upgraded my pc. I'm gonna buy a ryzen cpu and a b350 motherboard. I've heard people having trouble with RAM going over 2400. If I buy DDR4 3000, will it throttle back to whatever speed the motherboard can handle? I'm fine if it's that way, I'm sure it will be taken care of in a BIOS update. I'm worried about buying a high speed memory and the motherboard getting unstable or unable to POST. Please advice, /g/!

>>59926246

>>59927134
You can set the memory speed to whatever you want. For example, when I was first testing my Ryzen build (Crosshair VI, G.Skill 3200 CL14), i set the memory to 2400MHz CL15 to install Windows, then tested 2933 CL15, then 3200 CL15, then finally 3200 CL14.

>forget everything I know
Depends on what you know. Programming is a political subject. People will tell you they know exactly what is the best way to make programs effectively.
It's very non-descriptive to say that you're 'bad at programming'. It's like saying you're bad at math. You can be bad at mental math, algebra, understanding the more abstract concepts. There's not a single "programming" you can be bad at really.

>>59927512
What degree?
Why bother learning entry level IT/software shit if you're working on a real degree?

What is the command for highest possible using youtube-dl? I've been using

youtube-dl youtubevideo -f bestvideo+bestaudio/best

but apparently this is default in all newer youtube-dl releases? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31631535/youtube-dl-dash-video-and-audio-in-highest-quality-without-human-intervention

Also, is it possible to download only a part of the video you want? Or do you have to download the entire thing and then cut it up with ffmpeg?

>>59927606
highest possible quality*

>>59927591
>What degree?
Business, I failed out of real cs on math (calc 2) I have no desire to go into business and I doubt I'd be able to get a job in it anyway, whereas both my mother and her husband work for/own stock in a decent tech companies and I've already been offered a internship and potential future position if I can learn java/php/ruby/sql

>>59927341
Take the hard drive out and install Lubuntu on it from another computer.

>>59927341
You probably can't. Try doing what you want to do with a PCMCIA CD drive

>>59927636
I'm confused. CS uses Calc? The hell do they integrate?

And Business requires Calc as well. There are two Business Calc classes in every business degree at my uni. I make bank tutoring business students who think it's all excel and social networking who hit a brick wall when they have to find the critical peak of productivity at a given unit/price combination.

>>59927717
Everything uses calculus.

>>59927606
youtube-dl -f best

>>59927717
>There are two Business Calc
Only one at mine, just business calc which they allowed me to get a note to sub calc 1 for since it took me 3 times to pass it in the first place

>>59927730
Let's imagine a world in which english majors had to apply calculus to foucault's power/knowledge analysis of human history.

dont talk to me or my moms husband ever again

>>59927778
I know that's a joke but I don't know what else to call him, my parents didn't get divorced til literally right after I finished HS and I barely know they guy except for the fact that he occasionally buys me expensive shit for no apparent reason and he has a daughter that starts at my uni next semester I'm supposed to look after

Are the xiaomi laptops good or no? And by good I mean comparable to xps, new thinkpads, MBP etc.

>>59928011
They're good, but you have to break the secureboot to install any other OS on them.

New to sql and need help.

I have tables A and B. A to B has a one-to-many relationship: sometimes there are no B entries containing an A id, sometimes there is one, sometimes several. Every B relates back to one A.

I want to make a table containing A.id, B.id, and B.quantity, where I select all As and only Bs that have the maximum B.quantity for their A. Doing this with just A.id and B.quantity is no problem with the max function, but I don't know how to throw in B.id without selecting all B.id's

The current workaround I'm thinking of is:

SELECT
ST.id, B.id, B.quantity

FROM
(SELECT
 A.id, Max(B.quantity) as quantity
 FROM
 A
 left join B on B.id = A.id
 GROUP BY
 A.id
 ) as ST
left join B on B.id = ST.id

WHERE
B.quantity = ST.quanitity

This is clunky and inefficient, but so far I haven't found a solution with GROUP BY, HAVING, or max(). Any advice?

Is Daz loader the best crack for windows 7?
If so, what is the official source for downloading it? Isn't there a forum post somewhere?
Also, can you still get a free genuine windows 10 through the accessibility program or whatever?

can anyone help me get write access to one of my drives? So i've got two internal hdd's. One running peppermint and the other has no os. they are both formatted as ext4. I have full read/write permission to all my external drives but for some reason my 2nd internal drive's (/dev/sdb) owner is root. I was able to write to it using gksu to run nemo with elevated permissions. I tried running sudo chgrp adm, and sudo chmod g+w on the volume but it didn't do anything.

Here is my print out of fdisk

Haven't done that, on a scale of 1-10 how hard would you say it is? I'm guessing there are YT videos showing it as well

I think this is the most stupid question but... where the fuck is the download links for ubuntu GNOME?

https://ubuntugnome.org/download/

I dont see them.
