Hey guys. I'm turning my dad's old phone into a dedicated music player. I don't suppose there's any custom android roms that make it more like a dedicated music player and strip out the phone shit? Or should I just install a rom that looks good and keep it simple with shit. Sorry if it's a dumb question. I don't know a lot about the android rom scene. Thanks for your time.

If you see someone shoplifting in a store and don't say anything can you be charged of a crime too?

>>61697212
I mean. If you somehow get interrogated about it and you admit to them doing it, then I think it makes you an accessory? Wait does being an accessory to murder also mean you can be an accessory to shoplifting?

Yes, in some jurisdictions you can actually be charged more harshly than the guy who was stealing.

>>61698322
the iso likely contains only the setup files, which need to be installed for you to be able to run the game, so not really

I want to setup goaccess for my server, but for it to access the webserver logs, I have to run it as www-data.

ublock can override styles just fine with element:style(color: green !important)
the thing is, let's say some site sets the text color to blue by default, then there's some annoying inline-style which makes the text color red, you could override the color back to blue with color: blue !important, but then if the defautl color changes to some other - you won't notice because you've got blue hardcoded in ublock
so i'm looking for a way to prevent an inline style element from actually applying to the site at all, instead of forcing my own styles with ublock or stylish or something

Using Asus S200E as my work laptop and it's running super slow on Windows 8. Only an i3 and 4GB memory. It takes ages to load anything and Chrome will crash every now and then for instance.
How much would an SSD help? Or is it worth just getting a new machine?

>>61699137
An SSD will help for two reasons:
1) much faster loads on the OS and programs, and
2) you're gonna have to start from scratch which is great because it sounds like your laptop is just full of garbage and bloat.

Seriously an i3 3xxxU with 4GB DDR3 has no inherent reason to be as slow as you describe, even with a hard disk drive. I know because I gave one to my parents and it runs great. There absolutely has to be some degree of cruft going on there which needs to get removed.

Why can't I find a cable like this that is capable of powering a 3,5' HDD?
Isn't USB 3.0 and 3.1 supposed to deliver enough power to charge a Macbook?

>>61699449
Most of those cables are designed for portability/cheapness, so the leave out the 12v needed for larger drives. Also they can't rely on people knowing to plug shit into a specific kind of usb. You'll probably need something with an external power source.

the USB power delivery spec is still pretty new
PD1 profile 3 should be enough for most 3.5 hdd's (12v/36w), if you have both a computer and adapter that supports it

not all usb 3/3.1 hosts support the power delivery spec, and there are multiple profiles for different voltages/amps

Hi /sqt/.

I have a speaker that takes RCA cables as an input. With cables connected to my computer, everything works fine. No stray voltages, nothing.

With no cable connected and the speaker switched off, I discovered that the cable terminals were going live (240V(ac) where I live), which I confirmed with a multimeter. When the speaker was switched on, this dropped to 90V(ac).

I plugged it out, and reversed the plug (two-prong plug, no ground). After this, with the speaker switched off and no cable connected, the terminals sit at 6V(ac). However, when I turn the speakers on, it again rises to 90V(ac).

Basically trying to figure out, is there any possible way this 90V ac signal -should- exist on the RCA terminals? Or is it time to return the speakers as defective/dangerous?

Anybody good with circuit diagrams? I understand the the LEDs are wired together by the anodes in the columns and cathodes in the rows. But for the 50 pin breakout on the left, is pin 1 supposed to be soldered to the anode of column 0? And then later on is pin 33 supposed to be soldered to the cathode of row 0? And if so, do you solder the wire to the preexisting piece of solder or just anywhere on the anode/cathode?

I have a 525GB SSD that has windows on it using about ~200GB, I wanna dualboot debian, whats the best way to partition the drive? And any tips for having debian not nuke my SSD?

Using bitcoin for example, mining combines a log of transactions + a random number, which is then encrypted, if the checksum of the result (which is also effectively random) is below the current target (a very small percentage of attempts are) the resulting message is accepted by the network.

Other networks can include extra data as well as transaction information into the chain, for example Ethereum lets you run small programs on the network with the result added to the chain.

The reward for mining is they can add a transaction for the current reward value to any desired address, with that virtual money coming out of thin air. That can then be sold on an exchange.

</fontconfig>

>>61701106
This >>61701132. Enter the boot menu and make sure you're trying to boot from the internal hard drive. If it still doesn't boot you need to get an OS. If you really want Windows and no one has fucked with the BIOS/SLIC you should be able to install Windows and use the Lenovo OEM key.

Holy, you should get off AVG or other antivirus, a firewall shall be enough, comodo firewall is free and great, especially for an old build computer.

antivirus just eat up your cpu for nothing, its not a solution for the virus/trojan, the only solution is common sense of internet. also install ublock origin for chrome, it will stop loading some useless stuff on website that improve chrome's performance

How would I go about finding any? Everything I've tried searching for has brought up the usual YouTube videos of R5 1400 random Blender tests.

Sounds like you may not fully understand the way home power systems are grounded. Not that I do either. From your description I'm not fully convinced there is any issue other than your testing methods.

Try connecting a high-value resistor in parallel with your multimeter and see what the voltage reads then. A 460k ohm resistor should get you 1/8 watt at 240V, or use a higher resistance if you want to be conservative.

dumb idea. Your windows install is going to clobber your boot loader next time you install windows updates, or something random is going to happen and you're going to find out one of the 1.5 million ways to fuck up your boot loader configuration and make your system unbootable. I hope you like looking at your boot sector with a hex editor.

Invest in a 2.5" hot swap drive bay and just swap to your drive with the other OS on it when you want to boot the other OS. Way less chance for fuck-ups.

>>61704393
Crystaldiskmark was a good and easy benchmark, last time i checked.

>>61704476
What are you on about? Just shrink your existing partition from disk management.

what is Linux?

>>61704557
While I'm using the drive? Isn't that risky?

>>61704601
Not really. It was barely risky 10 years ago. If your life depends on it you should have a backup anyway.

>>61704524
is this good?
im not big into books

>>61704672
It's fine. I thought you were going to compare your drives. It's mainly meaningful for that relative comparison.

>>61704581
Linux is a kernel (the core of an OS). It's used as part of many different operating systems including OSes like Arch, Ubuntu, Fedora, et cetera.

>>61704747
so it's basically just a building block or foundation which many people have built many specialized OSes on

thanks

old caviar does 90mbps on read, so i guess the new drives are good enough, i always get the feeling new stuff are worse (which in a lot of cases is)but i still have to consider it has 7 years, and i almost never turn off the pc.
im too paranoid with data loss

>>61704768
Yeah. That and it's GPL licensed which is a whole other discussion, arguably a bit tangential to it's basic function.

It's like a big driver that all of the software on your computer needs

When i take a picture on mobile and upload it to 4chan, it rotates.
How do I stop this??

>>61704977
rotate it ahead of time
the orientation of the image is stored as EXIF data, and supported image viewers use that to display the image with the appropriate orientation
4chan has stripped EXIF data from images for a while now, due to it also containing GPS coordinates (if the camera supports it, of course)
since the EXIF data is stripped, there's no way for your browser to know the image needs rotating

>>61705033
I do do it on my phone.
However the images stay the same.

>>61705074
whatever you're using it just updating the EXIF data, then
you need to re-encode the image, in the proper orientation

Which of these make your dick the hardest?

>>61705240
they're very durable and easily serviceable.

>>61705240
They're among the best laptops. That said, my opinion is that laptops are shit, in general.

Do you not see everybody doing it in that thread?

>So is it just 4chan pass holders?
No, it is using unicode text direction markers.
Specifically U+061C ARABIC LETTER MARK

>>61706208

So how exactly do you type it then?
If I switch to arabic I get different characters with > and ALT+061C gives me something else

I apologise, anons. I was simply messing around, typing in reverse. It takes too much effort to keep that up, rather than simply using some free online service to reverse it myself, or fucking around with tags to do so without further hassle.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience you caused.

My mummy said I could have an extra tendie for dinner tonight if I typed this apology.

>>61706688
You got dubbadubs. I think that means kek forgives you.
