Does unplugging the router and plugging it back in cancel the WPS button function?

>>61681464
Some routers reset your settings to full default if you keep them unplugged for a while, learned it the hard way.

>>61681464
isn't the wps function only for a limited time after you push the button? as in you only have so long to connect the device then it goes back to being secure, while keeping whatever was connected connected?

its something open to discussion or argument.

So i have critical important information on one user with home encoing.
But i also have normal user without root for server and home usage.
How secure/unsecure is this config, can unprivalaged user get access or somehow intercept password to the root/first user.

>>61681585
also if i'm using it from home is my actual IP address traceable?

>>61681601
no, it's something is irrelephant as in the point is moot

>>61681548
Just the domain name.

>>61681638
Wrong. That meaning comes from moot being the topic of debate and the idea of debate itself being worthless in the face of action or already unfolding events.

Do you think that it will be unplayable at 1920?
Btw, i payed it a lil less that 900€ (somewhat like 850$)
And yeah, i hope that the medium tho is for recent games
With older ones i should be able to get a lil bit more, right?

This is a dumb idea and dumb question. I've been having some problems with X that I've tried to solve for a few months too long. What are some good alternatives to Xorg and what's a good DE/WM in whatever that alternative is?

hey,

On an android phone, I want to open .svg files with Chrome.

For now, Android only gives me 2 options, open with google photos (doesn't handle svg), and open with fx file manager (which I installed, has a picture viewer, but doesn't handle svg either)

I don't want to go the idiot route and install an "app" to watch .svg pictures. I just want to open them with a browser.

AFAIK, all that android lets you do as far as file associations are concerned, is go to Settings / Applications, pick an application, then there's a weird phrasing in my language which I'll translate to "definitions by default" (default settings), well long story short, you can decide that such and such application will be the default app for all the files it can handle. Doesn't help me here. (also, what a piece of shit, you can't decide file type by file type??)

I also have a Samsung "my files" application, doesn't help either.

so how do I change file association for .svg on android?
= how do I open .svg files with (for example) Chrome? thx.

>>61684131
google "take ownership drive"

>>61684219
That was the first thing I did. The drive is otherwise inaccessible and setting new permissions is not working.

>>61683809
I suggest picking a windows computer. What's the point of paying for Apple hardware if you're going to use Linux?

Also if you buy Apple, you should know that the default OS, OX X, is based on UNIX, like Linux. So I'm not sure Linux on Apple hardware really makes sense.

Buy windows hardware, it's cheaper, and Linux is pretty good at handling a wide range of hardware and devices.

>>61684234
Time to boot linux then

this is driving me insane, i want to use cygwin's vim to open .c files, but the makefile returns an error, none of the commands work

first i tried making a shortcut to the vim.exe, i get a shell error

then i tried making a .bat with
@echo off
chdir C:\cygwin64\bin
start "" mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico /usr/bin/vim.exe %1

still get the shell error
however

@echo off
chdir C:\cygwin64\bin
start "" mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -

does not return a shell error, but the problem here is that this doesn't open vim, nor can i add vim to it as it crashes if i do. what i've noted here is that the - makes all the difference (I think), what does the - do?

>>61684185
Couldn't find anything except https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appiator.defaultappmanager which probably wont work. I can imagine a simple app that registers for all filetypes and then proxies out to other apps with more specificity than stock android. Maybe you could write it.
Unless your file manager can do it.

wow, interesting, in 6 months maybe..

>>61684655
yeah actually I use an app for the simple map of the Paris metro. Apparently it's just an .svg file that you can zoom in/out. With *ads*.
I found a .svg map of the metro, was happy until I tried to open it on my phone...

But you're right, if I really want the "DIY" experience, at some point I'll have to put my fingers on code.

I am a total noob to IRC chat, I have always wanted to try IRC - what are some good clients, servers, how to get started with this ??

>>61685136
mIRC is a great place to start, there is a trial version. It gives you enough of an experience to learn if you want more.

Once you are past that you can connect via different services, heck even java based IRC clients exist and you can typically jump from server to server if you want.

Laptop with windows 7 here. Worked fine until it didn't. No updates were made recently, to neither the OS, programs, or hardware, just didn't boot one day. Booting normally gives me a blue screen with UNBOOTABLE MOUNT VOLUME. Trying to boot from my windows disk or USB gives me a black screen with a cursor on it, the cursor moves, caps lock works, but ctrl-alt-del does nothing, ctrl-shift-esc does nothing, win-r does nothing, right click does nothing, etc. First problem must be hdd related, but second problem is screwing me. Google returns answers that would indicate gpu problems but I'm doubting the hdd and gpu would simultaneously eat shit.
So, what the fuck?

>>61685136
also interested in this, I vaguely remember in the dialup days using irc to get porn and other pirated shit before torrents came along. one thing I'm not clear on is how to find servers to connect to

>>61685184
second problem is likely due to your usb not being bootable. if you have access to another windows computer then use rufus to make a bootable linux and use that and an external drive to retrieve any important files, then wipe and reinstall. it's more likely that it's just windows shit itself randomly than your hdd took a nose dive

I have a Wacom tablet that I'm trying to sketch with. Windows has this tablet PC feature that causes a circle to come up around the cursor when I lay the tip of the pen down on the tablet because it thinks I'm trying to press and hold to right click. I went into Pen and touch settings which has two places where I can enable or disable press and hold for right click and I've disabled them both. It still happens anyway.

I can't find anything related to this in the list of services or any other control panel dialog related to Pen and touch. Does anyone know how to fix this?

It's probably safe to use, but it deponds on what the capacitor was used for, without pictures it's hard to say. You might get better answers in >>>/diy/ohm

I'm neet trying to become a computer man.

Right now I'm in the process of studying electronics, digital logic, network administration, Powershell, Python, HTML/CSS, and C++. Am I retarded for trying to do so much at once? Is there an order I should be doing things in?

I'm learning the basics of processing, so bear with me if i'm being retarded.

This program draws a circle in a very primitive way, without using ellipse()

at the end of the for loop line, it says "x = x+0.01", But when i replace this with "x = x + (1/r)", It should do the exact same, Since r = 100, and 1/100 is 0.01, But when i run the program, it doesn't work.
why is this, And how can i fix it if possible?

int r = 100;
void setup() {
size(200,200);
background(255);
for(float x = 0; x < 6.28; x = x+0.01) {
point(sin(x)*r+r,cos(x)*r+r);
}
}

>>61687488
Not for the basics. Having an idea of how things work (but not necessarily the details) is useful before you learn enough to specialise. That is why undegrad courses teach so much shit that you never end up using directly, to build up you cognitive toolkit, so to speak, so you can be a better problem solver in general.
Although it can look like a wast looking back at all the shit you put time into learning and never used. Also it looks like are a bridging a sysadmin and compeng curriculum. Weird but whatever.

>>61687510
Might be because of integar division. Try 1.00 instead of 1, or casting to float/double.

>>61687549
oh, thanks.
i just switched int r to float r and it works.
but why doesn't float/int work?

I am thinking of buying 1060 or 1050, any tips?

How good is LaTeX at handling multiple columns of plain text?
I just need something that can handle a layout kinda like this one and being able to keep templates for future use without the template breaking because one word is longer or shorter than the original.

>>61687585
because the result of and int (1) divided by an int (r) is also an int, which doesn't support fractions. A sufficiently smart compiler could look int the addition with a float in the future and cast to that but obviously yours isn't.

>>61687801
Pretty good, you will want to look into the tabular environment. But if you want to just do a template and not worry about it latex might not be the right choice because on the rare cases you want to edit it you will have to do hours of googling to figure out how to do stuff. It is only good if you use it often enough to not forget it all.

Let's say I have a "trebuchet simulator" with a number of input variables (height, counterweight mass, wheels or no wheels, etc.) and the goal is to fling the projectile as far as possible.

If I just let it run in a way that it picks random values for these input variables and then recording the "best" values for each time the projectile beats the previous record, does this count as Machine learning (Reinforcement learning)? Or does it not count because the program is not making its "own algorithm" and just recording the previous best values?

>>61688874
1. Create 1000 random inputs
2. Run those 1000 inputs.
3. sort them by projectile distance
4. save the top 500 inputs
5. replace the bottom 500 inputs with the top 500 inputs, with slight changes in variables
6. go to step 2

What's an image hosting site that's not a faux social media piece of garbage?

I've been using Imgur, but it's started to piss me off.

Been fucking around with my RAM speed in Ryzen Master before I go into the BIOS. I bumped it up from 1067 to 1200 (they are rated for 1600) and my comp just went into a boot cycle like 5 times before finally booting. RAM is running at 1200 now, but does the trouble booting mean a stability problem? I haven't touched the timings of anything yet, just the speed.

huh?
exernal ssd enclouse is for sata usually to be usb connected to something
if you want it inside then its just sata to sata and all you need is double sided table or that velcro

I want to get into graphics programming with shit like opengl etc.
What are some good books/resources? Are shading languages heavily involved or is it mainly C++?

Hey /g/ I need some help here. Recently I had a disk with some bad sectors and figured to buy a new HDD to back it up and RMA the defective one.

As I try to backup, the defective HDD fucks up my boot time and when I try to transfer or copy shit it suddenly freezes, then afterwards gets disconnected from the PC. I need to then restart, and wait for the PC to read it for like 30 minutes and then I can log in.

When I check CrystalDisk or Harddisk sentinel it shows that the Bad Sectors has increased.

Any help guys? I have some important data to back this up, moreover sending it to recovery company would probably cost a fortune and pretty embarrassing to send over a drive with lewds on it.

Use Clonezilla to copy stuff.

You need to boot a liveusb linux and copy your data
You should not be booting in to the drive, you want as little contact with it so it does go full shit mode and die with everything lost.

How do I add a gaussian blur effect to my Gnome desktop? I'm running arch.

I've got an audio related tech Q. My sound system which I inherited from my grandparents worked fine but then I moved recently, set it up and it works but its super quite both while using the speakers and with headphones on. I think it's the amp but I have no idea, what do?
