Install calibre and you can convert ebooks to whatever you want. I use a kindle so old I actually inherited it from my grandfather. Kindle 3 I think. Works just fine although it doesn't come with a backlit so you might have to get a case with a light as well. Newer ones are probably backlit. And even if I don't convert pdfs the kindle handles them just fine.

Hey, thanks for the answer. I googled how to change DPI on Windows 7 and tried to see how it looks changing from 100% to 125% or 150%, but it requires a restart to take effect. I just changed it back without restarting because I won't use increased DPI forever...

So I am restoring this client server based chat application project to see how it works since we're supposed to make a project ourselves for final year project.

The project is made in 2005-2008 something so I installed the ms sql server 2008 and backup database restored successfully, I created the new database as said in the readme.txt(see picks) and created a new one later. The problem is in ms sql Management studio there is no option to enter login ID on startup like it says in instruction, if I enter sysname(actual sysname- not sysname literally)/localhost it fails to connect so I just connected with sqlexpress something that is in drop down, then created a new database giving it custome name and restored the .bak file in it like it says.
Then I opened visual studio and opened the code folder and edited the details in web.congfig file as said, sql SERVER 2008 did as for a password at time of installation so I entered 12345(same as I gave then) but I noticed that it has user id=sa, when I never entered id at the time of whole restoring part as said in above, so the errors I am getting are:

Then there is changing build type under properties to .NET 4.0 to .NET 4.5 since due to that one project can't look into other's classes and namespaces but I only have one project or should I try setting the type to earlier then 4.0 version?

Open Launcher crapped out on me and it shows me some errors as soon as I open it.

I didn't make it system application and don't have root access.
Tried rebooting it and nothing helps.

If I know that, I think I can figure it out by following this https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html
It's just that their explanations of routed vs bridged are a bit too technical and don't seem to describe anything I'd want to do with it anyway.

How do I find an IT job when I'm ugly and autistic? I always get an interview after I show them my code or do their assignment if necessary, but as soon as it gets to the interview part it all falls apart, usually at

Depends on what you want. But if you want something that "just werks", *buntu with DE of your choice is probably the best bet.

>>61920052
Just be honest. Your employer is probably intelligent and will sense your intonation and microexpressions effortlessly so do not memorise lines or act anything out.
Just be your ugly and autistic self and maybe it'll look adorable to him. Stick to short and pedantic sentences and don't answer questions you haven't been asked.

Using mkvtoolnix gui to split part of an mkv, add subtitles and add audio. Both audio and subs are in separate files, added as source files. The split works, although a little delayed, the subs work, the audio does not. I get no sound.

If all you want to do with it is browse 4chan and watch videos (and keep it plugged in most of the time) there's not going to be much difference between a 6 year old T510 and whatever $3000 laptop you can buy today. My StinkPad works great for what I want it for, starts up in seconds, has a great display, great keyboard and it does all the tasks I need it to do just fine. It even fills my gaymen role brilliantly as it has fast WiFi (for 6 years ago) and does Steam in-home streaming from my desktop in 1080p perfectly. If you are wanting to do any sort of productivity work with it, then it is of course totally useless at this point, if you are wanting battery life, it is also totally useless.

It's also a nice feeling having something so cheap that you can just throw around and not have to worry about if you break it.

No POST can be myriad things. My approach would be to reseat all power connections first, especially CPU and mobo. If that doesn't work I'd reseat all other cables, RAM and PCI cards. If that doesn't work I'd reseat the CPU.

If none of that works then you might need some deeper troubleshooting to find a component for RMA.

why is it so fucking hard to find a single image for an odriod xu4 that is systemd-free?

I mean, even the archlinux arm distro for an odriod xu4 has systemd, no openrc in the repos, and they literally tell you in the forums "you cant remove systemd from arch-ARM unless if you compile your own openrc from source and create your own scripts"...

so i compiled openrc from source and installed it, but with this u-boot crap that odriod uses there is no easy way to pass kernel parameters during boot, so I cant figure out how to tell it to use openrc instead of systemd

Always was told Peerguardian and things like it don't do anything, this true?

>>61921976
That is correct. Now think about how complex the work is. And how many people are working on it. And how infrequently those payouts are scaled to occur.

By all means go it alone and probably never actually get a payout on a currency that's valuable enough to offset the cost of electricity you used. But if you're mining valuable ones like Bitcoin, you don't stand a chance. People work in mining collectives instead so that they can get a steady stream of reward.

Gotta keep up with the ways to get ripped off.

Someone from india tried to login on my discord account. Should i be worried?

>>61922555

Maybe. You use that password for anything else? Change it and those too.

Best VPNs to use? Everywhere I read it's all "X VPN is the best" and then "X VPN is shit" so I don't know what to believe

>>61922563
Did that already. Any guesses how he could have gotten my email and such?

>>61922635
shit's easy as fuck, your email is not something you keep private

>>61922635
Looked your gamertag up

>>61922635

Dunno. Leaks and hacks. Happens to me with Steam/Twitter sometimes, but 2-step verification always stops them

>>61922635
Check here(legit)
https://haveibeenpwned.com/

>>61922675
oh no what can i do to clear those breaches

>>61922675
>has your credit card been hacked, enter your credit card number to find out

>>61922749
make a new one

>>61922749
Use a new strong password.
>>61922755
Cept it isnt a phishing site and will tell you if
you've been compromised

>>61922789
OK then tell me how it works

>>61922764
is getting pwned worth doing a new email

>>61922817
Not him, but it's pretty simple. That site just checks leaked databases from these breaches to see if your email is in it.

>>61922817
you type in your username or email, it check dumps (pastebin etc) and it checks if your email or username was in that leak

>>61922838
>>61922839
Oh so it does nothing against targeted hacks, and potentially aids them.

>>61922829
i mean if i got pwned is it worth doing a new email

>>61922853
just change your password and do two step verificaiton with a phone or something. if two step isnt an option then change your recovery email to something else

>>61922850
You're one dumb retard.
You know 4chan gathers your post data and ties it to an ip to create a profile on you. You're also using google captcha

>>61922884
Looks like i'm fine then.

>>61922902
Neither of which contain an email, name or other identifiable information. Fucking mongoloid.

other than itunes, what should I use to convert a bunch of .alac albums to flac or 320?

>>61921697
>Are you on the latest updates?
Last windows updates? yes.

>Turn off GameMode as well if you have that in the settings. It's horrible task management.
So far I have not found any game mode in this Lenovo laptop.

>>61922850
Yes, it potentially aids them, by you inputting an email, which you've input into a bunch of sites and is public knowledge anyway because they're in those leaked databases probably.

>>61922941
>probably
Also helps triangulate by adding extra inf

>>61922926
Your ip is directly tied to your ISP account for 2 years.Everything you post is tied to your ip, which can then be queered by companies to get your user information(similar to DMCA and C&D),those companies then buy your profile from hiro(hes done it on 2ch, read any of the 10 lawsuits he is currently involved in for selling user data illegally)

Fucking stupid nigger

>>61922950
It's not "extra inf", that's the point.

>>61922928

Could care less about big companies. I do about targetet security breaches by one or more hackers which can have consequences instead. You know, actual damage. Moronic brainlet.
>>61922971
Of course it is, I got by at least 3 gamer tags. If I check them all, more info gets potentially linked together.

>>61922999
>Of course it is, I got by at least 3 gamer tags. If I check them all, more info gets potentially linked together.
I thought it was just email, and my general example only talked about a single email address.
But fair enough, it's a legit website. And nobody that makes a website that elaborate cares about you specifically to link shit from you together. They have easier targets.

I want to monitor the outside of my apartment. Have had some people fuck around with windows and shit, so would love to at least have a look in real-time and some pictures on motion or something.

Any tips for a cheap camera that can handle dark scenes decently? Ebay and such is flooded so its hard to know where to start.

>>61923047
>low lighting
>picture quality
>cheap
Pick one and go with it.

What the fuck am I doing wrong? The usb will work perfectly fine on my main machine but when I put it in the VM, it is unable to get drivers.

Guest addons has been download and installed, and i have rebooted.

>>61923076
quality isnt a big concern, i'm not looking to prosecute anyone here, I'd just like to see if its some drunk lads knocking on windows for fun or a crazy junkie trying to smash the glass

You'll need something with IR LEDs to illuminate the area. Problem is, you can't put these inside because the light will just reflect off the window and dazzle the camera. So an outside camera is better, but obviously more expensive.
You could also just try an external light source, either IR or normal. But to me that always seemed like a hassle.

Get a cheap camera shell and a bunch of "This area is monitored by camera" signs/stickers.

>>61923094
If you want identifiable facial features, get a true 1080p camera, not an upscaled one.
