Repost, because old one died.
So, my sound card jack output is on the last legs and the one in the front of a case picks up a static which is annoying, so I'm thinking about getting usb sound card. Is cheap shit like pic related good enough for my needs (just a clean stereo signal, something to plug into my stereo) or should look for the better options?

>>61621419
You could do that. Or you could just boot from external media on his PC and copy it from there

http://windowsmatters.com/2014/01/03/updated-win8pe-includes-x86-x64-versions/

Also when that's done you could try imaging the disk with Macrium Reflect and see if you can save the whole thing, although a clean install would probably be simpler.

>>61621428
Lubuntu is a goto lightweight distro. Has full ubuntu compatibility with minimum resources. Also lets you decide at login to use netbook mode or even Window Manager only

So when I look up how to do back-ups, these videos and guides always explain how to use certain software, and how to use cronjobs to automate them, and other stuff.
But here's one simple thing i don't understand:

How do you automate a back-up, when you physically may not even have a second storage device attached to your computer at all times? I mean, wouldn't i need to have an external harddrive plugged into my computer at all times, in order to automate back-ups?

Or am i missing something really obvious, and there are back-ups that don't require external storage?
>>
>>61621476
Buy replacement switch from chinkland. Desolder old one, solder in replacement.
>>
>>61621548
The software can easily check what drives are available, so it checks if there in an external drive available. Also i would guess that you clarify what drive it should use, so that i only checks for that drive letter
>>
>>61621548
Well you could use the network...
The windows builtin incremental backup thing backs up changed files to an intermediate directory when the destination drive isn't available and transfers them from there when it is plugged in again, or next time schedule runs and it is there, idk.
>>
>>61621548
Some just backup to the same drive, which is stupid. And you can also backup to cloud services.

What do I do now?
>>
>>61621715
Safe from who? If not using dnssec then your DNS queries are unencrypted UDP. Even if not talking to your ISP they can sniff that shit trivially. So can anyone who has tapped interchanges you packet goes through.
So the answer depends on what you mean by "safe". Are you worried about the owner of the server selling you data? Both google and your ISPs can, although I think we would have heard rumours if google was doing that whereas for ISPs I wouldn't be surprise. On the other hand if your ISP is not sharing data with the NSA (they are) then hitting their DNS server probably will prevent your packet from going through any interchanges.

how do private torrent trackers work?

>>
>>61621942
The torrent files you download from the site have your personal key.

>>61621942
Usually they embed your user code in the .torrent file you download. They do know what IP you're downloading from though, and sometimes they get pissy if it's not the one you logged in on.

My mobo detects my harddrive only every 10th time or so. Does that mean that my mobo or hard drive are broken?

I don't have a spare hard drive or SATA cable to test, but which one is more likely if the BIOS says that there's no hard drive connected? Once it recognizes it, it works flawlessly so that's telling me it's my mobo, but the fact that it sometimes recognize it tells me it might be my hard drive.

I have an old raspberry pi model B I want to use for my backups. My first thought was something like 4 scavenged laptop hard drives in RAID5, but I'm opened to other solutions.
Here's what I intend to do :
>1 Raspberry pi
>4 hard drive, each with a SATA to USB cable
>Hard drives and RPi connected together through a powered USB hub

I will put there my important documents, backed up with something like rsync and my config / dotfiles backed up with version control.

Since I back up almost exclusively pdf, plain text or small files, I don't care about the transmission speed.

The raspberry pi will not be connected to the internet as an extra precaution against randsomware or shit like that. Rather, I'll manually connect it to a LAN and run backup scripts from my main machine via ssh.

Is this a good idea or am I falling in noob pitfalls? What should I change?

>>61622362
if you're ok with a couple megs a second, you could do that
the original pi (a and b) has a single usb2 root hub, with the 100Mb/s ethernet controller attached to it, which alone is a massive limitation for a file server, then you've got the slow as balls armv6 cpu, which is slow as balls, things like samba and ntfs-3g slow things to a crawl, those can be avoided though. a raid5/6 requires parity calculation, which while i haven't tested that on my piB, i imagine will be fairly strenuous on it as well

basically, the original pi is basically the worst hardware you can get for a file server, you'd literally do better with a near-20-year-old pentium III box
>>
>>61622362
>>61622462
-- basically what i'm saying is, go and find yourself a cheap second hand desktop pc, and use that
add a sata/gigabit ethernet pci card if need be
if low power/noise is important, then look at other SBC's, something with a better cpu, and gigabit + usb3/sata

Does this mean that my final installation will also not be uefi-incompatible?

pretty sure he's talking more about things like foxyproxy, where you can specify different proxies for different sites based on user-written rules
>>
>>61623055
>>61623125
No. Yes. Depends.
Cables are (usually) interchangeable within the same brand, regardless of wattage. But like >>61623071 said the pinouts aren't standardized, so the cables are absolutely not interchangeable across different brands.

Swapping cables within same brand and series is safe. Do some research if you're swapping from one series to another.
You can check out cablemod, see if they have one set of cables that fits both of your PSUs. If they do, you can be sure they're interchangeable.

So in this case you would have 4gb of usable storage. That's why it's more efficient to have more drives. However many you have, you lose out on the storage size of one drive.

What do I look for when buying a laptop?
I need one for school work which includes light video and photo editing, also coding but I assume most laptops can handle that.

I built my PC a few years ago, so I know something about specs, but I feel you can't really compare laptop specs to desktop.

I also just want one with a trackpad that's not fucking terrible, I know macbook trackpads are nice but >apple

480p and the like are like that because of how analog video and crt's work, that is, only the number of horizontal lines (vertical resolution) has a hard definition, the signal drawn horizontally was analog, so there was no fixed number to use for it
480p means "480 lines (progressive)"

"4K" is used in digital cinema, and refers specifically to 4096x2160 (3840x2160 is UHD, a digital television term)

Honestly, it's my fault for buying Segates for my NAS because they were cheap, but like I said, I can't afford any more drives right now, so that's the end of it. Going back to straight up independent drives and manual backup.

>>61625337
RAID5 and RAID6 are garbage, you have to rebuild the array if a disk dies to access your data, and they lower your read/write speeds by a siginicant amount. I chose RAID10 because I wanted to have shit still work fine if a disk died (which it did) and because I wanted fast speeds. I kept using it for quite a while without touching the fucked up disk, but then FreeNAS fucked up during an update somehow and it's been sitting idle ever since. I decided today to get off my ass and install a Linux distro on it and just use it as a regular machine that will double as my backup box. I didn't ask for your opinions on the merits of RAID, I simply wanted to ask opinions on distros.
>>
>>61625432
>raid-6
>rebuild
thats why you use your backup raid-6 while your main raid-6 rebuilds.You should also have hot spares so as soon as something breaks it automatically starts it,not having to wait for you to initiate the rebuild.
Right?

An old microwave would be good, assuming the microwave shielding has worn off. You can test this by putting a phone in the microwave then calling it. (Don't start the microwave obviously.) If it receives a call, the shielding is bad, which means the microwave is leaking electromagnetic radiation (i.e. microwave signals), which could then in turn be absorbed by your unshielded device. I don't know if this would affect your hardware though, sounds pretty risky unless the microwave is a decent distance away.

I don't fucking get it. What's the point of the ": this(price)"? How's that "a constructor calling another"? year.Year??? WHAT THE FUCK? The book was easy as pie to understand until this part.
>>
>>61626705
Thanks
>>
>>61626708
I haven't looked at C# in detail but this looks simple enough.
:this (args)
is presumably shorthand - in Java you'd just have the first line of the constructor be
this(args);
, C# provides a special construct to keep the inside of the constructor method clean since the call to this() will likely be present in 99.9% of overloaded constructors.
I don't know if this syntax can also be used in other places or if it's specific to just this case, so keep a lookout for that.

year.Year
is because you're making an overloaded constructor that accepts a datetime (called year). Since your wine only stores the year (as an integer), you extract the Year property from the datetime object.
>>
>>61626708
Oh yeah, to clarify, this() is your own constructor. If you have MyClass with a method foo, from outside (using an instance myClass) you can do myClass.foo() to call the method, or from inside you can do this.foo(). To instantiate myClass, you'll have used MyClass myClass = new MyClass(), and similarly from inside the object you can do this()

I dunno how easy it is to do on a note 3 but samsung doesn't seem to be too bad about it, so you could always manually install a newer ROM

You can always get stock Nougat if you don't want to be fancy, or LineageOS if you want to be free

It would also cause graphical glitches if you were in a boot menu on the hard drive, obviously not in the bios boot loader.

A bad hard drive can sometimes do it, sometimes its just pure software. Repair your windows install.

How do I get python 3 on ubuntu?

There's such a confusing array of ways to do it. I just want to or something similar, I don't need the bleeding edge functionality.

Can I just
apt-get install python3

Oh, I see it now. So in a way, one constructor is "inheriting" the other (tho not really, it's just making it run, but that explains the colon) and the
year.Year
was just a DateTime property and the author was just being a huge fucking faggot when he named two integers year and Year.

>>61627626

Oh it turns out I already have it and just needed to type python3 instead of python into the terminal.

Well that's needlessly confusing.
>>
>>61627655
Yea basically.

Year was named by whoever made the DateTime class, and year is a good choice because it describes what the variable represents, not what it is.
DateTime datetime
doesn't tell anyone what the fuck
datetime
is supposed to store.
So when someone writes code that calls your function, and they see that they must pass
DateTime year
, so that tells them they can pass a DateTime object if they want but it's only meant to represent the year (so you can't create a Wine with an exact date associated with it).

It's shit for using in this example demonstrating constructors, though, I'll definitely give you that.

Is this going to be his only computer? Does he absolutely need a laptop?

A desktop will have much better value for gaming. If he can afford a gaming desktop and a $200 X220 thinkpad for shitposting on the go, that would be a better choice. If he wants to game on the go, the best option would be a desktop for home and a decent laptop for portable gaming, but that's obviously not always an option.

An 1070/1080 laptop like >>61627737 says is NEVER an option because it's about as portable as a desktop, but will still have worse cooling, much worse upgradeability/repairability, and be more expensive.

1050 is really budget. It's what you get if you have an AMD cpu with no igpu.

You can get something like a 960 too, I have an £800 laptop with a 960M and it's mostly fine for most gaming, though often I have to settle for medium settings. I can even play GTAV just fine.

Sounds like you've got your shit backwards. It would be VERY weird if you had to update to a newer version to get root. And anyway Lineage will do a lot better shit for your phone than just root it. Check out XDA to figure out what steps you need.

So i've seen that it is possible to use some microcontrollers to make programmable custom keyboards (hhkb mods and those using teensy boards), i have this cortex m uC laying around and and old keyboard only with it's matrix plastic sheets, (i managed to fuck up the controller circuit, an old zilog uC) now i wouldn't be that hard to program the cortex to use the matrix as input and implement a ps/2 protocol so i can use it on my laptop with a ps/2 -> usb adapter i already have, right ? I don't know a lot about uCs so i think this could be a good oportunity to do a project that actually interests me, just want a second opinion confirming that this is indeed possible.
tl;dr using a uC to make a ps/2 keyboard, yay or nay ?

I'm embarassed to ask but, is the CPU the i5? because when i look for anything with an i7 the price goes up to 990 USD..
Either way, what exactly will the CPU affect? The general speed? Or does it mean i just won't be able to run videogames or other heavy duty programs?

It's not your fault. Our government never understood a thing about education and how it should work, and because of all this "french before anything else" we are lacking seriously regarding other foreign languages (as if you can't learn more than 2 languages at once).

When I went to sweden to see some friends and saw that a lot of their courses were in english (actually most of them) I was wondering why the hell France is unwelcoming to foreign students.

Anyway, force yourself and get your hand dirty. And maybe try some websites like duolingo or memrise.

yeah linky. Technically it's legal. They won't do anything about the data they get, but they can, and with the leaks from snowden, you can't really know who and which much data are shared with a government.

Since people don't give a single shit about their privacy because they don't want to understand, things like that happens every time.
