Where do I properly dispose laptop batteries?

I'm 18 years old. Finished highschool not long ago. Never had a job and obviously no degree but I have been programming since I was 10. C, C+, Python, Java, HTML, CSS, JavaScript. Very tech savvy in general. I'm in NYC. That being said, how do I get a job? I don't have friends or networking or any of that BS. I'd like to work in Japan one day as well. What do I do /g/?

>>60778421
shops where you can buy electronics, machines and of course batteries usually have containers for collecting old batteries, lamps and small machines.

I don't know why that came out as NYC.
Freudian slip I guess.

The shell uses white space to detect tokens, which happens in the "for i in", so move doesn't have a chance as is. Write a small script to read in a line of text then execute the mov command with the text in double quotes. Then do

find . -name *.rar | my_mov_script.sh

You'll probably have to get a degree unless you find someone looking for just any code monkey. So I guess look to startups?

I was at this shitty IT business that didn't require a degree, just that you do a two month unpaid training course that they provided. Then, before your first three months were up and they'd have to switch you to a higher paying salaried position, they'd fire you. Fun.

Man that sucks. I don't want to waste 5 years of my life going to college only to learn on more crap I already know. Guess I have no choice then. What kind of degree? CS?

I want to set up a new computer because I recently started a new business, I would also like to use this computer for private use but it's very important that there is no virus or problems with my computer.
I would like to use an old computer I have from like 5 years ago, it has pirated windows on it (7 ultimate I think) and would like to put an official version of 10 on it, just standard home edition I think 64 bit too.
Which parts of the computer should I replace for maximum safety and so that I wont run into any problems because of the old pirate windows or possible virusses / scanners that came with it?
I read in the internet virusses or these kind of scanners / files could spread literally anywhere from HDD to GPU to Mobo to even internal memory of a mouse (I have one that saves settings on memory inside the mouse) to even monitor, I'm very confused.
Could someone please help me out? I would like to make no mistakes, it's very important everything works as if it would be new and completely safe, like I said I want to use this computer for doing banking and also for my new business and also for personal use.
Help would be much appreciated.

>>60779263
I could guess just CS would be good enough. From what I've heard also look into getting your certs, those will just make you more valuable.

>>60779274
You need to understand the most fundamental basics of computing.Your post is all over the place and is comical

>>60779164
Given a file named "What is this crap.rar"
your do loop does this:

mv what ./
mv is ./
mv this ./
mv crap.rar ./
That's the way the shell breaks down a sequence with "for i in".
The person who said to put $i in quotes forgot that the split would happen before the do loop ran.
You need to take the one file per line output of the find command and put that line of text in quotes before using it as an argument to mv.

>>60779274
1. Don't use it for personal use if you want to be absolutely sure it won't get gunked up

2. I dunno, use an antivirus / spy-mal ware program? Hardware won't really protect you.

3. You might want to pay for Windows, write it down as a business expense?

sorry I will try to write better (english is not my mother language)
I have old computer, it uses windows (I think it is windows 7 ultimate), this computer I want to clean completely and put windows 10 home on it.
I want to remove every virus or keyscanner or weird stuff that possibly got on there trough internet downloads or trough installing pirated windows 7 so that I never will have any problem after I put windows 10 on it.
it is very important this works good because i want to use this computer for my business and also personal use and internet banking etc.
hope this was better.

>>60779333
hey there thank you for answer
is it better to buy new parts? which could I reuse safely?

i will check antivirus, for now i use microsoft build in anti virus but im not sure if this is enough

yes, i will buy windows 10 official and no longer pirate, because now its very important everything is good and the computer is ''healthy''

>>60779354
forgot to write; can I reuse any parts or will i have to replace everything to be sure and safe?

>>60779360
put stuff on it, nothing else to do.

>>60779372
You might be able to take any parts you want to use and have a guy check them over, but I imagine he'd just bullshit you for some money.

If you find a way to reset everything to factory setting, that might be the best way to ensure everything is clean.

You could always consider just buying a new computer, if you're THAT paranoid. I've never run into a virus living in the bios of something, so I've never had to combat it.

>>60779413
How would you, say, move your OS to it to make it snappier?

>>60779353
Exactly what I said. Run your command with the "mov $i ./" replaced with echo $i to see what's happening to the file names.
Then grab a reference for shell scripting and figure out how to read the lines of text coming from find in a script and do what you want with the entire line. I've no intention of writing it for you.

>>60779415
yes, i thought of taking it to some guy but i too think he would fuck me over
do you think resetting to factory setting would also remove every potential threat?
thanks for the help

>>60779468
If something is deep enough, I THINK it could make it through a factory reset, but that would be a great step, especially if you're re-purposing the machine anyway.

How in the fuck do I get OS X to work in Virtual Box, when I have a Kaby Lake CPU?

just bought some ram (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313662) but it won't boot with XMP settings enabled in the bios. it will post and i can get into the bios and change settings but it won't actually boot up once the settings are changed

it does post and boot if i just enable basic automatic settings but that forces it way down to 1333mhz

I have a mac pro and my GPU only has one working port what I need to know is if I buy another one can I use it for a second monitor without any special setup? Like just using a separate GPU for each monitor?

>>60780271
if you meme OS supports two GPUs then I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.

The only problem that could rise is which monitor is the "first" (main) monitor, with software configuration or swapping the cards could fix that.

>>60780243
>1333
So you're overclocking and its throwing errors?
Remove your oc
>memtest
>5 minutes
It wouldnt find anything wrong,because it hasent scanned all of the memory in that short of time.
Run it for 24 hours with all the dimms in

When the memory address of a variable is stored using &, is it stored as a value?
For example if m is at memory location 5, and P = &m, does P now equal the value of 5? Like if you do P+1 it will equal 6?

Is there a way of tracking starts and stops of programs? I have something that looks like a CMD window appear every hour at xx:24, and it's only present for a split second. I have no idea what this is, and it alt-tabs my fullscreen applications, so it's rather annoying. I have tried closing any applications and programs running in the background I am usually using, but it seems it's still coming up. Any way to find out what the hell this is?

>>60780243
memtest is supposed to run overnight, 8 hours usually discovers mistakes if any, but more is better.

>>60780359
no it's actual 2400mhz. i linked the ram in the post before. i just want the actual speed and timings it's meant for

i also took off the OC on the i7 for the time being to make sure this all works and it's not an OC error

>>60780409
>>60780359
also i really, really don't think the ram is bad because it works on my fiance's board in the desktop i built for him

with the proper timings, mind you

>>60780419
If its clocking it that low check your motherboard,it may not support 2400 without oc'ing.

>>60780419
Not the same guy, but are you by any chance running these sticks along with another pair of sticks that are not the same? Because that forces them to downgrade to the nearest "common denominator" to put it that way.

>>60780371
>does P now equal the value of 5?
Yes.
>Like if you do P+1 it will equal 6?
Maybe. If m is a type that is multiple words in size, then P + 1 will equal 5 + the size of m in just about any language.

>>60780446
nope, just the new teamgroup sticks i bought

good question though

That doesn't help him because that advice doesn't always apply. For example what if his friend gives him a file via USB stick? He has no idea what site it came from so common sense doesn't apply?

>SSD
>Pagefile

>>60780957
It obvious RAM will be faster.
I meant from economical point of view, say you only need RAM to cache few GB of videos with mpv.

I'm in a painful situation at work.

I've been asked to get the data ready for loading, which will be done by my boss running LOAD DATA INFILE on ~30 Excel sheets I'll make that correspond to each table. The painful part is that, unless one of you has some wisdom for me, I'm going to have to go through all 200-1000 rows in each excel sheet and assign the foreign keys by looking up the proper row in the raw data, finding the matching surrogate key, and copying it into a column on the excel sheet.

Google has failed me, and so has the awful DBMS textbook I was handed. If no one has guidance on my specific problem, I'd appreciate reading recommendations on data curation/database loading considerations/whatever.

I'm mobile a lot lately so my newest computer is a laptop. When I'm using it at home or in a hotel room, rather than in a cafe/library/bookstore/work, I have 7 damn cables hooked up to it:

>Ethernet
>Mechanical Keyboard
>DP to 144Hz secondary monitor
>Mouse
>External Speakers
>Printer

Lately I'm working equally at home and in the field, so every morning I have to unplug all 7 cables, and when I get home and have shit to do, I have to plug them all back in.

How can I streamline this? Is there a cable management system I can attach to my desk or something that'll hold all the cables within reach so they stop falling between the desk and the wall?

Does a laptop dock take of this? How do those even work?

Javascript question.

I am looking to change a link with javascript. It always works on fresh reload, but when I navigate in the site, it stops working. I tried using the window.hashchange event, but the event doesnt even trigger when I navigate the website. The website is vivaldi net btw.

My current fix is a function that fires every 500ms and compares the current url with the previous url and if there has been a change, then it fires my function that changes the link.

Is that a better solution? I assume the window.hashchange event doesnt work because of some dynamic ajax shenanigans.

Thanks for any help or tips!

>Is there a cable management system I can attach to my desk
Yes, but I'll be damned if I can remember what generic term to search for to find them.

>How do those even work?
Like magic. If one exists for your laptop, go for it.
>I don't want to just glue some spring clamps to the edge of my desk.
The thing I can't rememder the name of was basically a weighted pad with a few velcro straps on it. You'd lay the cables down, velcro them down, and then just disconnect and walk off.

I currently have 2x ST500DM002 (SATA III drives, 500GB each, 7200RPM) for my gayming needs and some music (mostly files except for the 1 or 2 games that I frequently play).

Should I move all my files to the WD drives and run them in parity? Or will they hurt performance due to them being enterprise rated drives?

Hey /Sqt/, how viable is it to resoldering on a new 6 pin molex connector to a GPU?

Back story : this GTX 960's fan stopped working and so I sent it off for RMA. I packaged it in bubble wrap in a box not much larger than itself. When it arrived at ASUS, I was informed this was how it was. More pictures to follow.

My major concern is the damage to the corner of the PCB. I wouldn't think there would be any traces there and it doesn't seem like there is. But I feel even if I successfully solder on a new connector, that damage to the PCB. would render it pointless. Thanks for any help.

They promise they only log certain things and don't correlate or track individuals:

/g/, I have the stupidest question. I've had a lot of experience with computing in life, installing linux distros, trying to get them to run with shitty proprietary hardware, fixing the countless problems my Windows installation caused me (during which I learned that windows is fucking horrible), writing useless code in Python or javascript. But I feel like I'm just picking breadcrumbs instead of actually seeing the whole picture. Sure, I can learn C by reading a book or install gentoo by following a guide, but I feel like I have no understanding of what I'm ACTUALLY doing and working with. To abstracize, I'm fixing the engine of a car not knowing what it fucking connects do or even does. Can someone recommend me a source that examines more of the general concepts rather than a specific one?

hiya /g/ I've had my usb's randomly disconnecting and remounting. The problem seems to only happens while using my font ports but haven't tested my back I/O.
The motherboard is an Gigbyte z170-D3H and running Win 8.1.
any ideas?

>>60786689
Unplug and reconnect the front USB connectors from the motherboard.

>>60786682
>implying that doesn't happen already

>>60786689
Likely it's the port, do what the first anon said and get back to us.

The creator of C++ said that C++14 using guidelines is type safe and resource safe. How do I enforce these guidelines? Are there compiler warnings?

>>60786481
>>60786546
Indeed. Ended up using Afterburner, we'll see how it goes.

>>60786689
you should either troubleshoot first or post your troubleshooting results with your post if you want more accurate help

>does it occur in other ports?
how can you say 'seems to only happen while using my front ports' when you havent tested with the others

>does it happen with every device in that port?

>does it happen when you are not touching or near the device/port

>does it happen more frequently if you wiggle the connection?

>is it reproducable or does it occur seemingly randomly?

Hi /g/, My laptop has been having this weird issue lately where the internect connection will sometimes stop working altogether. I have tried resetting the router, and the problem still persists. anyone know a final solution to fixing this problem?

>>60786791
run an ethernet cable

>>60786807
what if I have no ethernet cable plugins in my room, and I don't want to leave my room?

>>60786791
is it dropping at the router or your wifi drops itself?

>>60786817
>what if I have no ethernet cable plugins in my room
what

>>60786791
Do any other devices you have drop connection at the same time? If yes, probably router/access point issues, if no, probably issues with your laptop's WiFi card or its drivers, update if possible, if that doesn't do anything, replace.

Or even better, stop using WiFi if you don't need to.

>>60786822
My wifi drops itself. I live with my family, and every time the wifi drops for me, it doesn't affect them. It's always dropping for me and nobody else.

>>60786845
how far is the router?
cant you run a cable to it?
try changing the router's wifi channel

>>60786845
buy an adapter like alfa for range

>>60786715
>>60786705
Tried and had the system rebooted 10 minutes and it does it again.
>>60786729
well who plugs in usbs at the back nowadays is what i mean.
I leave the usb untouched while doing work thru out the day and it randomly out of no where disconnects disturbing my work.

>>60786945
are you talking about an individual flash drive or every device in the port?

>>60786969
Both I guess, both of my font usb ports disconnect the flash drive. I just plugged the flash drive now at the back to see if they also do it.
the flash drive is an Samsung bar usbs. picture related

What's the point of having exceptions triggered for non machine instructions?
Why wouldn't the compiler/some intermediary assembler just replace the pseudo instructions with the machine level instructions?

>>60787025
What I mean is does it happen for other flash drives/devices in the front ports also?

have you tried switching the usb headers in the mobo?

Would it be a better idea to do a free windows 10 upgrade of a windows 7 that's been authenticated using the Daz crack vs using some of the windows 10 cracks I've been seeing around, or using one of the $5 keys from eBay or reddit? Has anyone had their windows 10 deauthenticated yet when they've upgraded a pirated windows 7?

Don't have a ton of cash and my gf's old pc is dying. Deducting the cost of windows would be a great help and get me to consider getting her a RX 470/570 instead of a GTX 1050. I made her endure used crap the last build and want everything to be new.

>>60787071
Don't bother with the cheapo keys on ebay, if you're not going to go properly legit, go properly pirate.

If you've already got 7 installed, go daz loader, should upgrade and activate fine. If you haven't, just install 10 directly and use Microsoft Toolkit or similar to do a KMS activation.

>>60787064
Oh well i just garbed a few different usb laying around to test right now.
The samsung USB just disconnect and reconnect again on the back I/O ports.
I did while testing the font header usb cable move to the second available header on the motherboard with the same result.

quicc irc question

How do you go about hiding your ircname?

It responds with my real name, but I have no idea how it knows it, and how I can change it.

>>60787323
Somewhere in your IRC client's preferences or settings dialog will be a spot to enter your real name.

>>60787323
computer's account name?

I put windows 10 on a late 2014 Mac mini and it is running really slow and antimalware service executable is using a lot of disk,things I got ,a windows 10 EFI boot USB made without bootcamp,crappy to dialup level internet,loads of time,would Ubuntu run better?
