Trying to get Pokémon GO on my Samsung Galaxy S3, running Android 4.4.2.
It crashes on the Niantic logo screen.
Older versions get a bit further, to the log in, but won't authenticate.

Is my only option root and install a more recent OS?

>>61152124
Problem is Pokemon go wont run at all on custom OS's, unless they've found some sort of work around. So if you can't do it on stock, you can't do it at all.

Is there some kind of cheap programmable button that I can stick to my wall and have it so when it is pressed it uses my home wifi to send a HTTP GET request to a specific server?

>>61152266
Amazon's dash button would be a good option but can it be reprogrammed? I know they sell a programmable one but it's more expensive.

Because unix inspired operating systems were largely developed for developers. There was a commercial element in regards to servers but windows was fully consumer or bust, for a while. Linux and BSD apis are largely influenced by the original unix wake of development in and around the 80s in which is was a bunch of neckbeards developing for each other. They put a lot of care in their development while thinking about people from other companies who would be making changes based on their stuff. These days most commercial development doesn't treat future developers as a relevant stackeholder. Though there were certainly some companies ran like that back then. So really it is an accident of history and where the more community minded developers ended up congregating.

I have some really stupid questions but I really want to understand the fundamentals before going too far:
When I install programming languages like Rust and Python on my PC, what exactly am I installing?
How come I can run an .exe file created by Rust on a computer that does not have Rust installed but cannot run Python scripts on a computer that doesn't have Python installed?...

>>61152778
Rust is a compiled language, your code gets translated to machine code that can be run on all machines that support the architecture you compiled for, python is interpreted language, needs python interpreter aka the install for running

I'm learning to program with Java at the same time I'm using (and learning) GNU/Linux. I'm using Eclipse as IDE but what I really wanted was to use Emacs + Tmux.

is it worth to learn Emacs and use it as some kind of Java IDE (I plan to learn C++ and Python in the near future) or Eclipse is good enough?

When you run a script for a sandwich- language like python, the interperater translates the programing language into machine code. When rust makes an exe it turns the programing language into an exe and saves it so you can run it later.

How accurate are phone fingerprint scanners against false positives? Like can any random person just swipe their finger and get a reasonably decent chance of the phone going "fuck it, close enough"? I know there are tricks to beat them, especially if you have access to a copy of the guy's fingerprint, but curious how well they work when used exactly as intended.

A hash takes a bigass file and reduces it to a like a 20 digit number, that you can use to verify the original file. You're not encrypting anything. You lose the original information.

You are not encrypting the input, but as long as it is a cryptographic hash function with properties similar to a random oracle it should behave just like stream ciphers.

Both FreeBSD and Windows are on separate disks, but I had to set FreeBSD to the same disk as Windows in order to boot. Everything works, weirdly enough. Grub gives an "Invalid Signature" error when trying to boot FreeBSD, but it still boots fine.

>>61153404
You're overthinking it.

Is 2gb of memory on an adroid if all I do is call and text?

>>61153427
But the entire point is that I want to compare upscaling methods when I set my desktop resolution to a game's native res (and let my GPU handle the scaling) or when I leave it as is and let the game's software methods upscale it. Hard to do so when I can't take an accurate screenshot of one of these cases.

Can I run the WinToHDD from an XP machine to install Windows 7 to a partition? The site says 'host OS' must be Vista or later but I don't know if that means the OS getting changed.

If not, can anyone think of a way to install from a Win7 iso without use optical or USB?

Thanks.

>>61153439
Whatever your GPU outputs (i.e. your current resolution) will be the what shows up in the printscreen. Unless your monitor itself is doing the upconverting (highly unlikely, unless it's some bullshit feature trying to make 1080p video look like 4k), then you're inventing a problem that doesn't exist.

>>61153467
Why does everyone on here say you need 4gb or more for Android? Is that just a meme?

I have a weird ass setup. I'm dual booting Windows and Hackintosh, and my intention is to use Parallels with that installation of Windows.

A while ago I managed this without trouble. I could add my secondary hard drive and do whatever the fuck I pleased.

Now however, the secondary hard drive only works on the virtual machine and when I restart it seems there's a conflict between the real hardware drivers and parallels'. My secondary hard drive ain't being detected for shit and it's throwing out an error 31 on the device manager. Only way that I could fix it was by uninstalling Parallels tools.

The only version of Windows in which I managed not to have this issue (I tried 7, 8.1 and 10) is Windows 7 so far, but I get really crappy performance for some reason and everytime I open the damn virtual machine it detects the drive as new and prompts for a restart, which is an annoyance, not gonna lie.

Any clues?

how do you see detailed memory usage stats in miui 8? on the open apps thing i just see "2GB of 4GB available" (with nothing running) but apparently there is a separate screen that says the memory usage for android OS, android system and system UI

>>61153504

Before this thread I didn't mind anime fags. But this cryptoshitposter? I'm pretty salty. I am trying to understand what they were thinking when they decided to post this shit and I just can't convince myself that they are reasonable.

>>61153513
Yes. There's some heavy gaming and shit that pushes the limits of phone hardware. But most of that shit got more or less perfected a few years ago. There's a big hype train created by manufactures now to keep selling new shit. For call/text/browsing damn near anything will work.

Again, your monitor is probably not fucking with the resolution that is being pumped out your hdmi cable. That make sense? If it is, then literally the only way you could "capture" that is by pointing a camera at your screen.

>>61153535
just let the gpu upscale it. what the fuck kind of game are you playing anyway that has custom upscaling built in. your display's upscaling won't be better than the gpu or if you have some fancy upscaling tv you should put it in "game mode" anyway so you don't get input lag

Your components get massively stressed with the power going through them when you power up, so dont power up/down often.

>>61153789
I should add they dont get that massively stressed but it's enough to take a tiny bit of their life span away. You could argue components would last longer if left on than turned off every day because of this.

Remember to install Guix after you format.

Can Amazon dash buttons be configured to buy any product, or is it only the product printed on the button?

Also can you reset them after you've configured them to a product?

Been searching online and found that if they are not configured fully they will blast a notification to devices in the network to warn you of this. Seems like I could easily have this trigger Tasker in my tablet and essentially have a free button to use if I use it for its intended purpose one time for something I was going to buy anyway. Any downside to this I'm not seeing right now?

My android's internal storage is almost full, but when going over what's taking up all the space, it doesn't come close to the 11GB it says it's taking up.

stop speaking like a retard. Shes popular because she has a nice ass, that pretty much it. n:a is an average game but the fact that the dev doesnt care about pandering shit and just does what he wants is partially why its popular. also its not done in a silly style like senran kagura or nep is so it has slightly larger appeal range

the thing is the server is using the cert supplied (the third party signed cert, not the self signed), but it's throwing an error in the background saying openssl can't find valid cert if a curl request tries to access the RESTful services.

If it is not, then the rest of the 12 GB isn't used and can't be even see by the system.

Assuming i did a straightforward and successful win7 sysprep transfer of my current HDD into an otherwise completely new build, would i then be able (after re-activating the OS license, installing new hardware drivers and everything) to afterwards clone that freshly migrated HDD aka the OS on it to another (preferably larger) new HDD in that same exact build?

>/watch?v=qYK-C4rIxrI

^ Basically what this guy does with Paragon Hard Disk Manager but literally the only difference in my case here would be that the OS was already sysprepped once and just migrated whereas his one presumably never was - But that fact shouldn't impair the cloning process at all, right?

The reason i'm asking is because none of these other imaging applications (macrium, acronis et al) seem to have free functionality included to restore an already sysprepped image to a completely new HDD on a new machine, they all want you to pay up for pro licenses and shit.

So yeah in a nutshell rather than opting for that whole imaging route i'm instead planning to migrate the old HDD with the OS on it to the new build via sysprep first (so that i don't have to use any imaging/restoration software at all/only have to use sysprep once for the initial transfer into the new build) and then clone the successfully migrated old HDD/OS to the new HDD in the new build so that i can keep using the cloned OS on the newer and larger HDD from then on instead.

Is there any reason this possibly wouldn't work out? Pic related

Intel works great, basically native performance. Ryzen is kind of messy right now, you can either have great Windows performance and shit GPU performance or shit Windows performance and great GPU performance. If your work isn't GPU-accelerated it's fine though. Be aware passing through audio is kind of a hassle if you're using anything besides HDMI or DisplayPort audio. And I'm assuming if you're doing music you have some kind of DAC so you might have luck passing through the whole device.

By passing audio I mean passing through any sound generated by software in Windows to hardware controlled by Linux. If Linux is controlling your sound equipment, transferring sound from Linux to Windows and vice-versa has issues sometimes, it will sound crackly and poor quality. The best way to solve this is to pass your individual sound equipment to Windows itself. This is difficult with onboard sound, but external equipment should be easy.

>what would have issues with playback?
Anything that connects to the headphone jack or the line out ports in the back of the motherboard.

Any sound from USB, PCI or HDMI/Displayport should work.

That's not a thing. Any phone can only get newer versions of android if the manufacturer releases a rom for that exact model, or someone scrapes together a custom rom for it.

Nah, he's actually talking about something entirely different.

Where the fuck is the CMOS on a Maximus VII Hero? Neither the manual nor google will tell me

And what could cause a perfectly fine PC that's been working for 30 months to suddenly fail to post yet stay powered on? The cpu led is on so I know which direction my problem is, but it was working earlier the day it crapped out so idk

And I don't mean the CMOS reset button, that didn't help anyways

Sweet, thank you!

Easier said than done. I have a feeling once I find out what it even looks like I'll find out that I'll have to disassemble my PC

Will flashing in the latest BIOS work?

I don't think RED has an RSS feed.
At least can't find it anywhere or any info on forum or in wiki.

Are USB TV tuners a meme or is it possible to get one that basically works as advertised?

They don't want to help me either.

>>61160416
They don't want to help anyone unless you can find a way to make your problem interesting to them somehow. But the internal rules of trackers falls squarely within their jurisdiction, so if you can't figure it out there, you're SOL. Try actually posting in the forums if the searches elude you.

i have seen grosser things in C#

just use C++

I have no clue how I should go for buying a keyboard. What are Cherry MX switches and what are the difference between the colors (blue switches, brown switches, etc), and how do I know if a keyboards caps can be changed?

I am looking to buy a Ryzen system with an r7 1700 on an asrock x370 board and I am unsure as to what RAM to buy.
Ideally I would like to go for 32 GB RAM @3200Mhz as I read that this is Ryzens sweet spot. Now price wise I could either go for 2x16gb or 4x8gb of RAM. Would there be any downside to either option, performance wise? With 2x16, I would have the option of going up to 64gb in the future (thinking of building this system for use in the next five years).

Second question: what are the officially supported RAM sticks for Ryzen? The link on the amd website is dead. Are G.Skill Ripjaws decent (despite the meme gamer aesthetic)? What would be the downsides of using unsupported RAM? Would it not work at all or just worse?

what software is behind these voices? is it a vocoder or speech synthesis?

This is the lowest quality board you can possibly get.AVOID

I have my i5-6600K running at 4.7ghz at 1.44v, temps are good hitting 70c under Intel Burn Test and staying under 40c during actual usage.

Is 1.44 too high?

You love to play wild dont you?
Yes.

get 2x16

>>61161119
it's perfectly usable, you have to weigh in the overall price/performance
