Which service eats less mobile data?
Spotify or online radio?

>>61601421
radio is usually 64k or 128k aac or mp3, I assume spotify has better quality.

Recommend me a good mobo for my FX-4100 and my EVGA GTX 950. Actual mobo is pretty shit and it bottlenecks the cpu.

>>61601976
Mobo has practically zero difference on performance with a 4100. Leave it until you go to a new mobo+CPU+RAM all at once.

I have an absurd understanding of the ps3 system and have to explain some shit in a few hours to someone who only understands 360 shit at a basic level.

In the event they don't understand something I've said, should I give a shit and try dumbing it down or just gloss over it.

Having to explain the difference between a disc game and HDD game went somewhat expected but at the same time there's a language barrier that's making it harder.


Now for my stupid question. how do I compile a folder of shit with only .c and .h and a makefile on Windows. I'm too fucking lazy to build it on Linux because that requires a reboot and that's just not on my to-do list tonight

>>61601395
Fedora or Ubuntu. Especially Fedora.

>>61601809
Yes.

>>61602054
Install suitable build environment (most likely you want MSYS + MinGW) as well as any necessary libraries including windows SDK if the program links against that, run make.

>>61602021
I'll probably buy an used pc that comes with a 4th gen i7 and change the cpu+mobo, but I still gotta buy a new mobo for that (it's an office pc). Recommend me a good one

>>61602054
>there's a language barrier
That alone is usually enough to make me abandon any attempt at explaining anything of meaningful complexity

>>61602130
What CPU would you be changing to?

What'll you be using it for?

>>61602137
language is actually a lot more complicated than people think

It's small but it's there for sure. It won't impact the overall message if I simplifies it enough

>>61602077
Not taken. Itd be command line shit once compiled anyway so I don't have too much problem otherwise. I just dread compiling on Windows.

>>61602144
All I know is it's a 4th gen i7. My dad is buying that used pc because he needs one for his office and I'm giving him my current cpu so I get to keep the i7.

>What'll you be using it for?
Mostly vidya and whatever I need for college (engineering undergrad). I don't play that much so it doesn't need to be the best mobo out there. Current gpu is an EVGA GTX 950 SSC

>>61601505
You sidnt even answer the question. I know some plans allow free Spotify streaming. Or download offline

>>61601733
No it's not child porn you pedo

So don't buy any new motherboard then, stick with what you've got.

>>61601733
probably not, but you should share them to be sure

Guy who was having a problem with Microsoft Cabinet Maker earlier.
I figured out that Windows Updater was the problem and got it to stop opening cabinet maker every 30 seconds using the program's troubleshooter from the windows website, but now searching for updates returns a "0x80080005" error. How do I fix this?

If you're ACTUALLY good at programming, you won't suffer. Else you'll be just a code monkey. Easiest way to achieve something is to specialize in some weird programming language like R and be REALLY good at mixing it with math

Real stupid question here:

I've started work in data entry. The upshot is it's so braindead simple and antisocial that I can just put headphones in at the start of my workday and chill without having to interact with anyone. The problem comes with having enough stuff to listen to to fill out a workweek.

I've been listening to podcasts and shit but because they're in small chunks I listen to the same intros and adds and outros over and over. I thought I should look into audiobooks instead.

The thing is, I'm working in a secure facility and we can't have any cameras of any sort, so instead of listening to my phone I have this ancient-ass mp3 player. Shit like audible won't work, and even if I pirate audiobooks they tend to be in other formats. What should I do in terms of finding mp3 books or converting the ones I have?

youtube-dl question
how can I use it to target a directory for my download, instead of using the command from the directory I want the video in?

>>61601395
Your games aren't going to run at playable performance in a VM. GPU passthrough is a thing, but it is likely that your hardware won't support it, and you have to do a bunch of configuration to get it going. Wendell from tek syndicate has a video up if you want to investigate this option, but it's not worth the hassle tbqh just yet. You're better off dual booting whatever Linux distro alongside Windows. Linux actually has a lot of good games available through Steam, and a bunch of older games like GTA4 and CoD MW2 run practically flawlessly through Wine, but if you want to play the latest AAA games you'll have to go with Windows on bare metal at the moment. Gaming is dumb anyway.

But to answer your question, really any Linux distro will be good with VM's because they all use the same virtualization software at the end of the day. But Fedora is likely ahead of the curve with VM technologies, since it's backed by Red Hat who does loads of VM-related shit and is updated the quickest besides maybe Arch. You'll have to add rpmfusion to dnf's sources though (it's just one line in the terminal) since you'll probably want to watch movies and porn, and Fedora doesn't have patent-encumbered codecs in their repository.

>>61602712
Uh, you could maybe image the hdd and do it. Are you sure you don't want VNC or RDP?

>>61602763
What other formats are they? If they are just other normal music formats the usual recommendation round here is to use ffmpeg.

>>61602712

Alright, so if I start running a NAS with the drives formatted with ZFS and half the space is running in parity of the other half, do I still need to have the recommended 1GB of ram per 1TB of storage? Or can I have 8GB with a full 16TB array.

But it didn't download anything. I went into the directory manually and did

youtube-dl --audio-quality 0 https://soundcloud.com/fastland/sets/fmtrax

and it downloaded fine.

>>61603512
That's because you replaced --audio-quality 0 with --get-filename on the one that doesn't work. Are you blind?

Does the Intel HD3000 iGPU have stuttering issues with 1080p video?

Friend gave me this old macbook pro 15 mid 2010 for free. I'd like to use it for watching movies/TV but I've been having a strange stuttering issue where the screen will stutter every 10 seconds or so when watching a video. Audio is unaffected. The problem goes away if I switch to the dedicated nvidia graphics (which also destroys the battery life).

I've tried watching local files, Kodi, Popcorntime, youtube, and they all experience this issue.

This model of macbook was plagued with a Graphics related kernel panic bug caused by a faulty tantalum capacitor on the motherboard controlling voltage to the GPU framebuffer. I found a patch that lowers dGPU performance and stops the kernel panics, but it's only available for OSX so I can't test for this issue on windows or linux until I replace the faulty cap.

Any way to remedy this?

Thanks for your time.

hope that you can exploit wps on whatever router you're trying to attack. it was a big thing when the exploit first came out but idk if the reaver meme still works on anything anymore

other than that the fastest way to crack wpa2 is to finish out your phd and create a functioning quantum computer to do that for you

Im not that guy but I just discovered my router has had it enabled for months (someone might be reading this 0_0) so you mean it has been patched or whatever?

>>61603961
You can try cracking the wps or whatever but most newer routers cuck you over by having an AP rate limit, basically meaning after a certain amount of tries and whatnot it locks you out. There is some sort of script to help you with that but it does little to no help anyways. You could always try

>>61603925
It's not bad. It has way more options in the free version. It just isn't stellar at sapping the most performance out of your system. If your needs aren't too heavy it generally works pretty well. If you ever go to windows 8 or above you can throw down with hyper-v

>>61601575
Installing build-essential will get you the basic tools you need to build C and C++ programs.

You may need to install additional software (including the -dev packages) in order to build certain software. For example, if you wanted to build the most recent version of tor, you would need libevent, openssl, and zlib, as well as the development headers for those.

not likely, depends on how they detect whether you're using spotify or not.


POTENTIALLY if they just see if you're on, say, a spotify subdomain to give you a pass on data, then you could find a way to access outside websites via spotify with iframes or a search function or some shit but i'm just rambling.

probably not

>>61605405
You try navigating directly to the folder as opposed to using the link they give you? In C:\Users and so on... Might tell you if it's a problem with the location on your drive or with the way Windows is linking to it anyway, could maybe generate a new shortcut if it's faster going there directly

No, being rooted should have no effect one way or another on whether this software decides to randomly re-install itself, and changes you make while rooted don't just reverse when you un-root. (Exception being programs granted continuous root access for some reason, of course.)

My PC can't detect hard disk drives at all, not even in the BIOS, but it detects my SSD, here's the rundown.
>have two HDDs and an SSD
>SSD works properly
>swap cables around, confirm the cables are working
>swap SATA ports, SSD still works, which means...
>Cables snd ports are working properly
>Test both hard drives in a different computer, both working
So why isn't my mobo detecting the HDDs, but detects the SSD without any issues? How can I fix this?
I'm considering buying a PCI-E expansion card with SATA ports,, because I can't afford to replace the motherboard if that is the problem.
I had a faulty PSU months ago which would cause unexpected shutdowns, I've replaced the PSU since then but I'm pretty sure it has caused damage to the motherboard because the Ethernet port doesn't work anymore and now this crap with not recognising the HDDs is happening.

Any advice or opinions you can share will be greatly appreciated, thanks for your time.

>>61608006
On paper any of them are fine to start with. Programming isn't about knowing languages. It's about knowing concepts and being able to implement them effectively. These concepts you learn will transfer from one language to another and picking up new languages is a breeze after learning the concepts and practicing them.

That being said, I'd recommend avoiding python (or any scripting language) as it will teach you some bad habits and concepts that do the apply else where.
C++ is a huge bite to take but has everything you need to learn all the concepts.
Java is fine to learn from too, pretty easy to use and learn and lots of material to learn from.
If you want a non object oriented language, I'd recommend C. Though it's a huge mountain to overcome.C is a bit of a mess until you really learn how it works.

Tldr: whatever you feel like. Just do something and get started.

Anyone good as SQL?

I'm getting some weird behavior on a query that I can't even begin to understand.

Basically, I need to generate a report of files that don't have any activity in the last three weeks. Should be able to just get the note date and pick the last one, and only return the ones older than 21 days, right?

Well a couple of cases are behaving oddly. I've got one where there's a note dated today 7/28 and the one prior to that is 6/21. It's showing up on the report with a last note date of 6/21.

Where it really is bugging me is that if I apply a filter to the case # to only return this specific file (and change only that), the last note returns as expected 7/28. If I change the filter to return any four or less cases, the date is correct at 7/28; five or more cases and it's 6/21.

There are more files with this behavior, but not most of them. As far as I can tell there's no relation to the files where this is happening though I'm sure there is.

Anyone have any clue what could cause this behavior?

Metaprogramming is a term coined by the scientist and complete mentalist John Lilly in his book 'Metaprogramming and the Human Bio-computer'. He was also the inventor of floatation tanks, interesting guy although he went a bit mad and got bitch tits after taking too much Ketamine for experimental purposes.

I have no idea what it has to do with the python scripting language other than it's a scripting language.

Stop using windows cuz it fucks your shit up maybe, or learn to use it more efficiently - no one here can teach you that in one comment. Nice wallpaper though anon, where pray tell could one find such an interesting image?

i know theres other options besides windows and ive been fucking around getting the paths how i want them for most, i was more asking why dont the developers just ask where you want the folders put instead of doing it automatically.
got it from a thread on /w/, here you go.

Noticed a lot of weird clipping and distortion at high volume when I was at 48000khz but when I set it to 96000khz it went away? What gives? I thought you guys said nobody does anything above 48000khz so it was pointless to set it higher?

Just bought a new cable to charge my S7 with and it fits very snugly, I have to pull harder than usual to get it out. Is it possible I'll break the charging port this way? For context, the charging port has already been replaced under warranty because it randomly stopped working.

Because it is Windows. It is suppose to just work.

Learn how to use hard links and junctions. If you are really autistic you could start moving things around.

I was just thinking is there a way of connecting a usb stick with Linux distro to a portable dvd player ? Or is there a small monitor that can be used for the same purpose ?

Here's my cpu-z

>>61611843
700MHz is actually higher than it's supposed to show, because it's DDR.

>>61611880
Oh right, it doubles i forgot

>>61611857
also the left alt key is like that too

>>61611403
if it is recording sounds above 24KHZ then distortion and clipping can still occur when sampling at 48KHZ and this is can be heard on the lower resonant frequencies.

by sampling at 96KHZ this can go away

This is nice and all, but how do I make it persistent?
