I'm trying to remove the battery percent sign from my android's statusbar. The option "battery percent text style" in Gravitybox works, but only for a few seconds (the percent sign reappears). Any ideas?

Having a worthy portfolio is obviously something you want to display on your CV - but it's gonna take a lot of time to build.
If you haven't yet, read about the gaming industry - insane hours, low wages (relatively speaking), and the job isn't always interesting - especially at the larger studios.

Why the fuck are you using Qt for a terminal app? Use boost or readdir(3) instead.
Qt is one hell of a dependency, and if you're asking that question you're probably clueless about build systems. Don't dig yourself a grave.

I use 4chan-x with a custom CSS that has quite a few images in it. I'm tired of them loading from external websites and want to save them in local. I know displaying them from local requires a relative path, but the problem is, relative to what? I need to know that to put the correct filepath.

    for(i=0;i<=largest_degree;i++){
        res = &p[i]*pow(x,i) + res; 
    }
        return res;
}

int main(){
    float coefp[]= {1,3,3,1}; // coefficients of the polynomial, the degree is the respective indice
    // x^0 + 3x^1 + 3x^2 + x^3
    
    float result = poli(&coefp,3,3);
    
    printf("\n\n%f\n\n",result);
    
    return 0;

>>60149152
by using an operating system that you can actually use

I have a bunch of DV tapes, but I do not have a firewire port nor a way to add a firewire pcie card.

Would it be better to just buy like an old ass ibook and capture the tapes from firewire onto a usb hard drive or are the usb ports in those too slow? (I'm assuming usb 1, not usb 2).

I'm a windows person, so I don't think there are any current laptops out right now that are thunderbolt except the XPS laptops, but I know apple has a firewire to thunderbolt adapter. Would that work on a windows computer that has thunderbolt?

I suspect you didn't install the appropriate font in your operating system.

The website could be using a webfont to ensure you have the appropriate font on the website, but this has no effect outside that particular page.

More likely it was done to keep the size down.
Font files for complete sets of unicode can be several hundred megabytes, and if you have hundreds of fonts that's going to be huge amounts of data.

My PC was damaged by water the other day.
I stripped it and left it in a small room with a heater + fan for 24 hours.

I put it together and booted it up. Here are the problems I am experiencing

- I cannot boot from my main drive unless I boot into safe mode

- I CANNOT normally shut down. I have tried booting from another drive and I get the same problem. When I try to shut dow the HDD clicks off but my screen shows a frozen"shutting dow" screen. The fans keep spinning and the power lighta are on.

- I cannot boot from a USB or CD

What the fuck is the deal with this shutdown thing? It happens with the healthy HDD as well as the one that was in the PC when shit happened.

I know that sticking to Chrome is "bad, mmkay?", since Google spies on you, but... I'm trying to switch to Firefox, especially since I've run into some sort of bug regarding Quick Reply that doesn't happen on Firefox but does with Chrome, and I've found that I'm basically married to Chrome's UI.

I expect Chrome's menu, not Firefox's icons. I'm used to Chrome's separate, ctrl-f-able page for history, not Firefox's sidebar. I instinctively go to click right beside the back-forward buttons when I want to refresh the page, instead of the entire other side of the address bar. When I ctrl-f, I expect the pop-up to be a small box to the upper-right, not a bar on the bottom with the entry box on the lower-left. And there's countless other little differences between the two browsers that just make me want to switch back to Chrome more and more.

What do? Is there some sort of add-on for Firefox that can change the UI to look and feel like Chrome? Does Chromium not have the Google spying thing? (And how the fuck am I supposed to install Chromium on a Windows 7 machine?)

on windows when i wake up my computer from sleep, the network adapter stops working. It can't get an IP address from dhcp, so I have to disable/reenable it then run ipconfig /renew or whatever.

Anyone have idea why?
I'm only encountering it now because i used to just leave my pc on all day or shut it down, but i've been using sleep lately.

The only thing i can think of is I installed hyper-V and i use an internal virtual bridge on the network adapter now, so maybe the dhcp broadcast is going through the virtual bridge instead of the physical network/router ?

I'm making a networked game with node js. When I run the client and server through local host, the client seems to be unable to keep up with updates if they are sent more than 10 times per second. Updates are sent as a single packet of less than 500 bytes. I would have thought that a greater number of updates could be handled. Is there a reason why I'm seeing this behavior?

in firefox, is there any way to get the address bar, tabs and the menu button in the same toolbar without classic theme restorer? it seems like all three are locked and unmovable.

also, is it possible to move the bookmarks bar to the bottom of the browser without ctr?

i'm asking because i'm preparing my butt for v57, when ctr will stop working. i would like to keep my current layout.

the new compact themes are ok, but i liked my own userscript better. however my script relies heavily on ctr and completely breaks without it. i'm not good at css, i'd love to see some of your layouts if you're willing to share. the less wasted space the better. i'm intending to use firefox on a laptop where vertical space is limited.

>>60153017
mmm. sure you're not doing something weird? not an expert on node js (and websockets? or just regular tcp/udp?), but *web servers* handle a thousands times that many requests at the very minimum, even the slow ones. maybe for some reason in your game an update itself is very heavy on resources, and it's not the network part that's the problem?

I have a 6600k and I want to push the overclock on it. Currently it's sitting nice and cool at 4.2ghz but I'd like to push it a lot higher, maybe 4.6-4.7ghz (can 6600k do 4.7 comfortably?)
My question; I have an MSI z170 sli plus. The vrm heatsinks are very small. Should I be concerned about motherboard temps when pushing the clocks?
Air flow shouldn't be an issue btw. I'm running an atx mid tower with 2 x 120mm intake fans and 1x 120mm exhaust.

I got an iPod Touch 5 a few months back, and it's started turning off by itself when locked. Also happens if I press any button, but I'm not holding it down when it happens. I already googled, and the Apple community has proven it is shit by having deleted threads, or unanswered threads. Some of them don't pertain to the iPod 5 like I searched.
Is there a fix, or should I buy a 32gig microSD and put it into my old Android?

Sup niggas. Let's suppose I got a job that makes me travel around the world every few months or so, all continents of the world, so maby countries. What's the best way to transport my super expensive gaming computer, from cabinet to keyboard to modem to monitor? What parts can suffer damage even if minor from transportation and how to minimize those? Is it something inevitable that I just have to deal with?

>>60152594
For just the audio, you can plug audio out of the keyboard into line in of the PC.

For instrument data, you can use a USB to MIDI cable.

>>60153960
Get a laptop

>>60153201
If it's DisplayPort yes, if it's HDMI/DVI/VGA no since those don't have a way to detect whether the monitor's on.

If it's just showing the desktop the processing demands are negligible anyway.

Does using a cooling pad all day affect the port which it is connected to?

I'm not experienced in this matter at all, but the big things to worry about are the graphics card, cpu cooler, and hard drive.

Most programming tools for windows support some kind of CLI these days. You might just need to add the relevant folders to the windows PATH environment variable. However, you might be hard pushed to download *just* the CLI tools for certain applications though.

With regards to IDEs, it's a matter of markets. Classically:
-Windows users prefer to have a single application for a task for convenience. Even professional workflows on windows generally won't span more than 2-3 programs per user.
-Linux users are used to the more ground-up approach and generally don't mind having to use multiple packages to complete a task. In fact, they prefer it: the ability to substitute program A for program B means they can tailor their workflow to their preferences more easily.

Not the same anon, but here's my $0.02:

1. I would go with an air cooler. AIO coolers are quite safe (in terms of leaking) these days, but if it's going to be banged around every few months, I wouldn't want to risk it.

2. I would remove the air cooler for travel. Having a large piece of metal attached to your motherboard while your PC is being knocked around is not a good idea.

3. Remove your GPU while traveling. Same reasons as above, you don't want a big heavy thing wiggling around in there during transit.

4. Look into a serious travel case for your PC. Something like pic related, but large enough for a mATX or ITX case, rather than guns. Pelican is a (rather premium) manufacturer you should look into. This will likely be expensive (likely $1000 or more), but you get what you pay for.

Generally speaking, the watermark doesn't show up over fullscreen games (sometimes it does but rarely, and not always for the same game either, not sure what triggers it). So it might be worth it if you're having trouble running newer stuff on 7 (if not, just fuggin stay on 7 as long as you can)

ffmpeg.

mkv and mp4 are just containers and could contain the same video and audio types.

Amazon Mechanical Turk, where you do shit like questionnaires and surveys (and sometimes other things) for what amounts to about $0.50 an hour.

>>60157281
because an mkv file can contain different video codecs, so even if your TV can read the container, it might not support the codec of the video or audio stream.
remuxing is just copying the audio/video/subtitles/whateverelsethereisin to another container.

What kind of features do you mean?

By scanning for executable files and copying itself into them. Sometimes also by copying itself into the boot sector.

>>60156649
4chan x, Ublock origin, h264ify, pushbullet are the important ones IMO.

"connected at" speeds are assuming no interference and good signal, real world speeds are significantly slower.

the monitor is (pic) - Fujitsu Siemens TFT Monitor P19-1 19" 1280x1024
it's connected with a vga-dvi adapter
btw the cards has 2 identical dvi-i dual link ports

>>60158135
It might pay attention to read-only/hidden flags, or maybe not. A .ini is just a plain text file. vbs/scr/exe are windows only.

>>60158174
Not relevant then.

>>60158242
what do you mean? is there a problem to the port?

Anybody here no clojure?

I'm having problems with the every? function.

For instance, in Java I could write

for (Integer i : list) {
   if(i != 1) {
     return false;
   }
}

How would I do this in clojure?

I know I can write

(every? even? A)

But how do I get a variable so that I can evaluate

(= 1 a)

}

Is it possible to convert a FAT32 partition to a greater cluster size in situ?
I don't have the storage space to copy it all off, reformat and copy it back.

Firewire to USB is a non standard cable that won't work at all in most situations.

No.

I'm not familiar with clojure, but looking at the docs this might help.
https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.core/some

I also wouldn't use a for loop in java when there's noneMatch and this might work similarly.

Isn't that usually just GET's and POST's?

Thanks for sticking through this with me. Restarting didn't help but I installed fcitx-module-dbus through a PPA and that got it to work.

I realized I'm retarded and I need to fix my fonts first. I have the Japanese ones installed (adobe ones manually, and stuff like ttf-hanazono through the package manager), however, they don't show up in the font list at all.
fc-list also doesn't display those fonts.
Do I need to copy those files somewhere after installation for me to be able to select them?
I did sudo fc-cache -f -v, so font cache should be updated.

>>60159532
>to be able to select them
select them where?

>Do I need to copy those files somewhere after installation for me to be able to select them?
again, I don't know mint, but I'd be surprised if you had to do so.

feel free to reply to me in the new thread when this dies

Did I get a virus?

I currently have MBAM, Kaspesky and Lavasoft installed and they show no infection.

>>60159619
did you google ntp.org?
hint: nothing to worry about

>>60159639

Is it just MBAM fucking up?

What about this? https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/62.210.244.146

>>60159605
I installed everything but it never shows up, in LibreOffice or the system settings or anywhere. So I mean select them in any application. I know I downloaded them, because the packages are there.
How do I actually use these fonts?

>>60159619
just get a firewall and block it if you are unsure.

>>60159619
huh. interesting. can you copypaste your hosts file? you may have something to worry about after all. i didn't even think of looking up the IP. sorry about that :(

>>60159655
mh... I can't find anything relevant on google. I'm thinking of installing mint in a VM to help you, but that might be a bit overkill. let's wait a bit to see if someone else has an answer. maybe post it in the new thread as soon as it goes up.

Alright, thanks for the help.
I don't have any allegiance to mint (if you can't tell, I've just gotten started with linux very recently), and only chose it because it's recommended as babby's first.
While I'm still new would it be good to just switch to another distro that doesn't have bullshit like this? I'm not opposed to learning more Linux, I would rather do that that headache over settings menus that are possible in every other distro apparently.

Does this look fine?

good idea y/n?

sorry both for being unhelpful :(

>>60159876
yes, although you might want to delete Keyboard - Japanese and Anthy from the list.

>>60159848
>switch to another distro
to be completely honest with you, I'm not sure. The only two distros I have ever had were Ubuntu (had a bit of trouble with it) and Arch Linux (no trouble at all, and the wiki is the quality that every distro should aspire to).

To install japanese fonts in arch, I think I just did
>pacman -Sy adobe-source-han-sans-jp-fonts
and then I selected them from chromium settings as the default fonts with no problems at all.

on the other hand, arch might not be the right option for a complete beginner...

I'm not sure if the problems you are experiencing are because mint is a bad distro or because you're particularly unlucky or something.

>>60159807
that looks fine. basically BitDefender (great AV in my opinion, by the way) is redirecting a bunch of harmful domains to nothingness, so that for example advertisements don't load... but it seems kind of strange to me that they're all microsoft domains? huh.

I suggest you post here: https://forum.bitdefender.com/

and make sure to mention that IP and post that abuse report. If you browse to that IP from your browser you'll see a weird page, I have no idea what's the meaning of it (but it doesn't appear to be delivering malicious code), maybe mention that too.

post your hosts file and mention that a bunch of microsoft domains are blocked and nothing else.

>>60160041
I see, maybe I'll try Antergos or something. I would assume I could use the directions on the arch wiki better that way. Opinions on arch vs antergos vs manjaro?

>>60160133
Oh, right. I used Manjaro too, when I really couldn't be arsed to install arch even though it takes literally 20 minutes.

Manjaro might be perfect for you. Yaourt is already installed (don't overuse it without understanding that you're using unsupported user-maintained packages, though!), and there are menus to manage stuff, even though you can still do (almost) everything suggested on the arch wiki. If I remember correctly, I followed the instructions on the arch wiki verbatim and they worked.

Never tried Antergos personally, so I can't say if it's better or not.

Whatever you choose, remember to post in that distro's forum, and not on arch linux's forum.

I have a GV-N970G1 GAMING-4GD gpu and a qnix2710 DVI-D only monitor, they work fine together, however curiously the monitor only gets recognized if I connect it with a dvi-d cable to (according to the picture) DVI-I port, if I plug it into the DVI-D one nothing at ll happens.

Now I'm about to upgrade to a 1070, which will no longer have a DVI-I port, so I'm kind of worried this odd behavior will stay, so basically can someone explain this behavior to me? Or is there some nvidia setting I must do so that it would recognize it?
As I overclock the monitor I'd rather not use an adapter with displayport.
Theres also 2 DP and 1 HDMI displays also connected at the same time, if that matters

>>60160041

Strangely enough, I don't have BitDefender, I only have the three AVs I mentioned earlier.

I just ran the Ancile script again, it regenerated my hosts file and Lavasoft Adaware prompted that the hosts file has been disinfected. To make sure it wasn't a fluke I ran the script again and there were no prompts.

I ran multiple scans with all my AVs and none of them picked anything up in the hosts file.

Starting to think reinstalling windows is the best solution here.

>>60160180
Alright, I'll look into it. I'm not completely up to speed on all these distros, so if you could clear some stuff up I'd be grateful. I heard pacman sucks and to use it sparingly, why is that? I've also heard that it's more unstable, do I need to worry about accidentally screwing everything up?
If arch is only an extra 20 minutes, I don't mind. Is the learning curve really that steep? I'll practice through a VM once anyway probably.
