What kind of code is this? I know it's low level windows. Is this assembly?

I need to go though a ton of pdf documents.
I know I can make bookmarks of specific pages but I was wondering if there is a program to permanently highlight text and note taking?

>>61384179
It's screenshot of IDA, interactive disassembler, so, yes, it's assembly.

Yeah windows.
I'll check foxit, thanks.
Something that would tell me text highlighted on page x or comment added on page y in the sidebar would be perfect.

can anyone tell me how to make torrents automatically load in utorrent instead of qbittorent

showing which posts are yours (like by colour say) and/or having 4chan say how long ago a post was made instead of when, an option on 4chan?

I'm considering getting a new computer for gaming and running CUDA-shit on it. (Will use my other computers for shitposting and torrenting.) Is there any risk of having the same computer for gaming and coding?

>>61384445
From technological standpoint, no.

>>61384129
Just set it in bridge mode and use a WRT54GL.

>>61384512
Ordering threads, yes, showing your posts, not sure but most likely yes, displaying interval isteado f absolute times, yes.

>>61384506
no, sorry, just new torrents that i add
currently they just go straight to qbittorrent
also, i cant actually find utorrent to even open either

I guess I don't understand networking because I cant figure out why my ping has been around 110-220ms for speedtest and all of my video games.

the entire house is having internet problems, the phone appears to be suffering too but I'm not sure about that.

Ive done all the braindead idiot stuff like unplugging router, restart computer, close all background applications. I tried "ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew", I tried "ping -n 30 -l 1000 (routeripadress)" and it returned 30/30 packets sent/received and 0ms round trip time.

What more can be done? I'm at a loss.

>>61385294
Not reliably. When you turn it back on and root it, you can use some undelete tools to search the nand. But the process of setting it up is going to overwrite a ton of data.

A professional lab might have a better shot by disassembling it, removing the flash chips, and reading it directly.

Hi, I used

 update-rc.d -f mysql disable 

to stop mysql from starting at boot. Or atleast thats what I thought it does. However mysql still gets started, with the status file in /proc saying that it's PPID is 1. Did I misunderstand what update-rc.d is supposed to do?
There are still symlinks (called K02mysql) to the mysql script in the rc directories.

I repeat the steps I did for flashing the first ROM in (AOKP) = launch TWRP in recovery, do the default wipe, flash rom and GApps?

yep
install/run twrp, wipe cache & data (as it's most likely an incompatible rom), then install the lineageos zip, adding gapps and addonsu if you like (addonsu adds root support, it's in the extras section of the lineageos downloads page)
you can upgrade nightlies without wiping anything, just remember to add gapps/other zips each time you do, as it does entirely replace the contents of /system

It probably does, I'm currently running regular Firefox, I didn't even know Firefox ESR was a thing.
Modern versions of Firefox, Chrome etc. run poorly, I was hoping there was something as light as the older vesrions that still receives updates.

>What do you use it for then?
It still perfectly usable for 4chan and reading stuff on, the 4:3 display and the keyboard are very nice and it still has perfectly good battery life, I'm talking about an old ThinkPad T42.

Yes I realize using XP is becoming more of a hassle than convenience, but I've tried various distros on it and they don't run all that amazingly.
If I could run Chromium OS I'd do that, as I've installed it on slightly more modern computers and it runs great, but even that OS has a PAE kernel and the 1.7GHz Pentium M CPU doesn't support it.

About every 3 months I get an email saying someone has tried to log into my steam account and they are using the correct email and password.

I change my password each time with a password generator.

I've ran Malwabytes on every drive yet someone still gets my steam password.

I use 2 factor authenticator so it's not a problem.

How do I locate and remove this key logger? Should I just format my C drive and start again?

Extremely stupid question, but can anyone tell me how RGBA (32b per channel, 4channers) alpha blending works?

Like how do the pixels change exactly if, say, I add to a group of red pixels with 50% opacity (1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5) a bunch of blue pixels with 75% opacity (0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.75).

The result will be...?

>>61389439
Yes

>>61389439
You had your password written down somewhere didn't you.

Also you can fool the keylogger easily by not typing your password directly but if your password is, say "password" then you write "sw", click in the middle, type "s", then click before the first "s" and type "pa", and behind the w and type "ord".

In my understanding, using a resistor that is too high will (almost) never destroy stuff. Might just not work. Think about it like that: If you have your device unplugged and the your source of voltage lying next to it, its the same as a really, really big resistor (the air [has terrible conductivity]) between them.

Writing your password down and keeping it on a piece of paper is not that insecure anyways.

It's way better than using the same password everywhere or using a weak password so you can remember it better.

I need to host a simple website, what's a good and cheap solution for that ?
The website is only html/css, not even using js or php or whatever. Everything (including pictures and sounds) are ~5MB. It won't be visited often, I just need it for a year.

I was thinking about going OVH and having a .com adress (free the first year) and having the web hosting for 20€, but is there a better solution ?

So I just got gifted a Kindle Fire. I have a few issues.

First, during set up, it asks me if I am my mother (She's the one who got it for me). Now, I already sort of share an amazon account with her since I am lazy, she has Prime, and I don't really buy a lot of shit anyway (plus, I use her amazon account for my Audible subscription). But I am worried about my privacy if I do that - I love my mom, and I visit her often, but I am not comfortable with her being able to go and see what I may be doing on my Kindle at 3am before I go to work, kek. Is that a possibility? Should I set up on my own Amazon account? If so, can I move my Audible books from hers to my new one?

Also, any tips/info for using Kindle Fire? Stuff I should disable, download, ect?

how is the better way to learn a new programming language? I know the basics but I have never learned deeply one language, and never made any major projects. (lets say I am midterm, not complete beginner but in no way a good programmer, so to get through a "regular" programming book is almost always way to slow and I already know most of the stuff [at least in theory], so I get frustrated and give up reading the book/programming)

lets say I am at pajeet-code-monkey level, is it fine if I did this?
>learn the actual language basically through practice, not reading the whole book (maybe specific parts I don't understand), looking up what I don't know (doing codewars or clash of code or doing whole projects) and separately read books focused on algorithms and data structures instead of a book about a specific language

if I start doing this above, I plan on reading the 3 books on pic related, in order.

good idea, bad idea?

Just saying. Maybe your soldering break with the movement going through the cable or whatever. Maybe you could just check or redo the soldering to see if it was just that. Everybody has bad days.

>>61391800

I'd say yes.
If you don't know syntax or other special language features, you can just look them up or will eventually stumble over them when looking other stuff up.
If you don't know an algorithm(-concept) however, you will just end up programming it in a bad way and won't know why it's shit.
But I'm just a freshman CS student who doesn't really care about programming that much, so don't take my word for it.

{

{
case sf::Event::Closed:
window.close();

>>61391800
Bad idea when you don't know many languages well. You won't discover new features of the language, you will try to stick with what you know and end up with bad workarounds and ugly code. If you knew well some similar programming languages, you could just check out major features and look up the syntax for the stuff you know from other languages.

I do think that learning algorithms and data structures is more important though, so you could learn just the basics of a language while going through these books and go deeper into the language later.

Also, I installed Arch before, but something was messed, and I believe it was something about having installed Cinammon with GDM, but I don't really know. I think the problem was that Arch recognised two monitors, even though I have only one and the one I have was the secondary. So, everything opened at a display that didn't exist and I didn't find any answer in the internet about it.
