Trying home automation. Bought some sockets which work on the 433MHz RF (433.92MHz), but the receiver on the PI doesn't register any signals from the socket remote control when I press buttons, so I'm getting nowhere fast.

Sockets:
https://www.dustinhome.no/product/5010958443/neyc3-power-switch-kit-white

RF transmitter and reciever:
http://m.ebay.com/itm/433Mhz-Superheterodyne-3400RF-Transmitter-and-Receiver-Kit-For-Arduino-ARM-MCU-/121597448874

"R" in pic related is how I've connected it to the Raspberry Pi 2 B.

I've installed rpi-rf through pip and this is the command I use to listen:

rpi-rf_receive -g 17

The goal is to figure out what the remote control is sending, then disconnect the rf receiver and connect the rf transmitter (same pins), and from there send rf signals to turn on/off my sockets.

what service in network is responsible for being able to write
>ping kichenPC

and it pings the PC
and how can I can make this work across two subnets separated by NAT?

So I set up some nifty keyboard shortcuts in GNOME, for example Ctrl+T to open my terminal. Then I realized all this would interfere when I open tabs in my browser, etc. Is there any way to make the shortcuts context-specific? For example, only working from my default desktop?

>>62095776
that would be stupid too, as you often might want to open terminal when you are in browser
and not going for mid-step to first minimize..

find a nice single key or key combo that you dont use

I use grave key, its the console key, the one under Esc
F1 or F10 are good candidates
scrolllock, or pause/break too

if you want two key combo then start using winkey instead of ctrl

What the fuck is blockchain? Any website that explains it in a way a retard like me could understand it?

File Explorer keeps crashing everytime i open a file.
This has happened ever since i upgraded to win10.
Multiple reinstalls later, new hardware, still happening.
Can't change desktop backgrounds either.

Tried everything on google, didn't work.

>>62095813
You're probably right, just going to have to figure out the best combos to use.

>>62095822
how I understand it
you know what a database is? it stores data right?
but its a single file somewhere
you hack it change some entries, shit, you rich now

blockchain is a solution to have unchanging historic record of data that no one can go back and change
price is that the data are all readable by people who have access to that blockchain

>>62095738
hosts file binds the name to IP.
Or use bonjour and then kitchenPC.local if this is the name of the pc

>>62095738
> what service
Ping sends IP packets, no udp or tcp on top. So you can't because nat punches holes based on port. Although some routers do have a "DMZ" feature that routes all traffic not already associated with a connection to a specific machine
Or use a vpn

>>62095694
This is really puzzling. You're not doing that inside an ssh session/a vnc connection/any other remote desktop solution are you?

>>62095839
It's pretty common to use the Windows key for all window manager related shortcuts instead of control.

Does PrivacyBadger and uBlock Origin help prevent that?
Also I don't use Facebook and Twitter so I won't be logged into any personal accounts there.

They can, although I am not sure, I don't know what they block exactly.

>>62095946

Do you know whether you're using Wayland or X11?

>>62095905
I have linux and windows machines
and different subnets, they can ping each other
but if I would want them to be able to ping each other based on hostname I have to use some service
now I google alternative to bonjour, at avahi popped up
I checked and my archbox has avahi installed
but needed some more stuff
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Avahi
still wont work but at least I have good starting point

>>62095937
>So you can't because nat punches holes based on port.
is set firewall open for one IP address
I am trying to setup samba share between two subnets
and going by some guide from 2008 they recommend
>Optionally, and even better, you have local name services working, and can ping by hostname as well.

so I am tinkering with that

>>62095997
the options when logging on says "system x11 default", along with "gnome", "gnome classic", and "gnome on xorg". So I'm using x11 apparently, as that's the one that's selected by default.

>>62095835
Not saying that I can help, but this is extremely low information. Do you mean a specific file, or just any file? If it's a specific file, what's special about it? Maybe it's a shortcut to something that doesn't exist or something.

>>62095705
What makes you think the receiver's compatible with the remote?

>>62096043
It's any file, doesn't matter which drive it is on.

>>62096016
IIRC avahi is the Linux counterpart of Bonjour,on Windows though it is Bonjour. after installing it you teoretically should be able to do "ping <pinged pc hostname>.local"

>>62096058
Did you use the same hard drive, or are they all new? Did you copy over any files?

>>62096086
only thing that's being reused is the ssd
did not get this issue when running win8.1

>>62096053
Both work on the 433MHz bandwidth as I explained. The only job of the receiver is to sniff out anything happening around that bandwidth.

>>62096030
The last think that comes to mind is installing gksudo (sudo apt-get install gksudo) and trying running gksudo synaptic but I highly doubt it will work.
As I said, you could learn how to use apt-get to install and uninstall software. After all, you already did it once when installing sudo!

>>62096096
Well, it's not a problem that everybody with Windows 10 has, so you need to have something specific that triggers it. And if the only common thing is your SSD then I can only assume that's the problem, in combination with W10.

>>62096120
i have found that it was a problem during the win10 preview and that it should have been updated out, i just don't have that update

>>62095989
Try not using synaptic you dumb.

>>62096016
You said separated by NAT originally. Bonjour is multicast and even if you forwarded those messages you would still need to set up routing. Lastly Windows file sharing doesn't spend on ping. Next time you want help try saying what you are actually trying to do.

>>62096116
I tried running gksudo synaptic, got a different error.
Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Then some popup about "unable to copy user's Xauthorization file"

I'm starting to think this isn't actually my fault.

Despite all the /g/ memes I never have Windows crash. Just now I left my computer for 30 minutes and it says atikmpag.sys failed. Should I be concerned?

I was looking at my local networks, as the new apartment I'm in is quite crowded on the 2.4GHz channels, and I came across this network, which has a similar MAC address and signal strength to mine, but is ac and has WPA2 Enterprise, whereas mine is WPA2 with PSK and only g/n. It seems to keep following the channel I select, so is it actually the same router?
I don't know how one device could have two MAC addresses, so its existence is a mystery to me.

On a side note, which channel do you think I should pick? I'm on channel 1 right now, but my ping is not great on this channel either. 1, 6, and 11 all have similar results where the ping spikes high, so I know I need to change something.

"cannot remove, no such file or directory"
looking back at gksudo synaptic, the terminal said basically the same thing, I only payed attention to the popup.
i tried gksu synaptic, and it gave a fullscreen popup to enter the admin password, but i couldn't click on the box to actually enter in the password. The mouse changed like it does over text to that line thing, but it refused to focus(?) on the textbox. When trying to enter the password regardless, it was just typing in the terminal and not the text box.

Hello, I have a Lenovo G500 from a friend who gave it to me for repair.

The problem is when I turn it on, it wont go past the "Lenovo logo" on the start.
So I opened the laptop and plugged off the internal CMOS battery, and living it unplugged and the computer starts normally every time.

Would like to say that the battery is dead the one that keeps the laptop running so I have it plugged in on the power brick.

Then I switched the new battery it's working fine if its plugged on the power brick and will boot every time with the new battery. But the problem is when I leave it unplugged from the power brick for an x amount of time the problem remains the same and it wont boot past the "Lenovo logo".
If I unplug the CMOS battery the laptop continues to work normally.

There is a new motherboard because the laptop was under warranty, he send it in because of the same problem, and now with the new motherboard the problem is the same it wont boot if the CMOS battery is plugged and will boot normally and work normally when it's unplugged.

Got any solutions?

I have this strange thing with my notebook. When it's running on battery, the fan turns off completely, and only turns on when really necessary. However, when it's plugged in, the fans is constantly on. Now of course there are different settings in the power options for battery vs plugged in, regarding clock speeds and whatnot.

I want my laptop to be as quite as possible, I don't really give a shit about performance.

So I made a new power plan and set everything to the most power saving option available and made the battery and plugged in options identical. Yet, the fan is still off on battery mode and still on plugged in. WTF is this shit? I'm starting to think some sort of power saving is hardwired in the BIOS or something.

>does it boot 100% when battery left plugged in?
No it wont boot if the battery is plugged in, if I unplug the battery it will boot 100% normally. The battery is Ok tested it with a Voltmeter.

If I disconnect the HDD with the battery plugged in it will boot and pass the Lenovo Logo, and display and error message.

Because other studies in the same cluster including one where the only difference between mine is that it's a part-time study cite minimum resolution specs at 1600x900 with 1080p preferred.
This already limits refurbished options by a lot.
Then those shops tend to have very small HDDs put in the Thinkpads, replacing it with an SSD or a bigger HDD sets me back another 100 euros, regardless whether I put it in or the shop.

So ultimately the price difference is rather marginal.

Now I've checked the benchmarks and realized AMD still isn't too great on the laptop market.

>>62096642
That's the problem, I don't know if it's just office programs.
The part time study of the same area has higher listed system specs, but their program is also slightly different.

Are there smartphone equivalents of business-grade (e.g. HP and Lenovo's lines) laptops yet?

i.e. robust and easily repaired models that got sold off in bulk whenever a business upgraded and are sold used cheap and in good condition.

>>62097071
Even if there were they wouldn't sell them off in bulk, it would be a huge security risk.

the clevo N150RD is the only laptop that i can get for <750 euro that has an OK gpu(960M). All other laptops at this price range have 940mx or worse. I can't seem to find reviews of this model though, is it a good brand/laptop? Its for some vidya btw.

I want to set up a home network thats actually fairly decent.

As it stands theres just my pc, the modem router, a tv and two phones right now. so its basically every shitty home network ever.
Im wondering first off its possible to "split" my computer so that a bit of it is acting as a nas that other devices can access, or rather what the best way to do this is. Ideally i want to make it so that i can have my phones tv connect to it with ease. Im guessing ill also have to change my modem router? my understanding is that a modem decodes cable signal and a router is just a collection of switches and a wireless i/o? so i can replace each part and have a better setup?

>>62097999
You don't need to replace anything. Install linux on your computer, then set up NFS, Samba and an HTTP server on it.

>>62097999
>Im wondering first off its possible to "split" my computer so that a bit of it is acting as a nas that other devices can access, or rather what the best way to do this is.
Yes, that is possible. All you need to do for this is to install some form of network filesharing software. It does mean your computer needs to be always on though -- or at least on whenever you want to use any of those NAS files.

>Im guessing ill also have to change my modem router?
No, that is not necessary. What you have will do file.

>my understanding is that a modem decodes cable signal and a router is just a collection of switches and a wireless i/o? so i can replace each part and have a better setup?
More or less, yes. But there doesn't seem to be a need to change anything about this part of your setup.

>>62098039
>nstall linux on your computer
actually already have this set up. the main issue im thinking of is power consumption. i dont particularly want raid or anything right now, might be nice to set up in the future though. will look into needforspeed samba and http server

>>62098051
well thats easy then, why are there so many consumer grade modems and routers that seem like even a good nighthawk would beat?

>>62098089
If power consumption is a concern buy a raspberry pi instead.
Also for easy googling NFS is NetworkedFileSystem.

Is there a torrent client that let's me move torrented files after downloading them?
I currently use deluge, but the option is to only move them after they are downloaded.
I want a manual thing, that skips the step where I have to copy them outside the client than set the new root.

>>62098278
Pretty sure qbittorrent can do that. Just right click, set location. And I think it does the copying itself if it has already downloaded something. I don't see it in the web UI though.

but this doesn't work because $item isnt a path just the file name of a file that's in a subfolder somwhere

Why use an extension like self destructing cookies or cookies autodelete instead of just using a whitelist?

Will that cause problems eventually? Or is that just normal?

>>62098518
There are many websites that expect cookies to work. It's easier to automatically delete them the second you're done with them than to add them to a whitelist temporarily and have to remember to remove them from the whitelist once you're done using them.

Are there good /g/ approved guides regarding music formats/compression/whatever and which are the best for listening?
Also maybe a recommendation guide on where to purchase the best quality albums should I ever decide to purchase music instead of pirating?

I feel like I saw a really good article on this on either the /g/ or /mu/ wiki but I couldn't find one searching either of the wikis this morning.

I installed
https://github.com/UshakovVasilii/gnome-shell-extension-freon
but it says my temps are average 1706.3 F
I don't know much about computer temperatures, but I think that's not right.
Running "sensors" in the terminal also lists it as this high.
temp1 is 11336, and everything else is about 120, again in F.
Says fan is at 0rpm.

>>62098692
Yea I'm deciding where to go from my 4690k and I figured a 4790k would be a decent upgrade... for that price though I’m not gonna buy old hardware

>>62099122
sir i think you might have been memed, maybe you should use your ears to determine if the audio quality is good or not.

but to answer your question, lossy format (256k+) transcoded from a lossless format, and lossless format are the "best" for listening.

for purchases, standard audio CDs are as good as you can get besides vinyl.

but if you truly want to be an autistic placebo master, only play untampered lossless music and listen on vinyl.

php/html question:

I have a web page that displays an image that is created by a php script. very simple html:

<img src = "my_script.php">

If there is an error in the php script, it just shows a little broken image icon, but php sends error messages describing the error. How can I see those error messages on my web page?

I can write another php script to call the buggy one, but that's a pain in the ass because I don't have php installed on my development computer and you have to practically install the whole Apache deal to run php locally.

So the /g/ choice of powered speakers seem to be the JBL LSR305 and I'm seriously interested in getting them.

However, they are sold as seperate units with individual volume knobs and whatnot and because of this most people seem to suggest plugging them into a Preamp and use it to control volume of both speakers.

My question is: Can't I just get the proper adapter cable so that I can just plug both speakers into my PC output and then use my PC volume to control the volume of both speakers? Is there any downsides to this?

I don't want to deal with the hassle and extra money needed for a preamp since I have no knowledge on the subject.

The cable used would be something like this:

>>62099122
If you need to compress music and whatever device you intend to play it on supports the format. Opus is king.

I compress at 96kbps and I can't discern the difference from the lossless source, I could probably go even lower but I want some safety margins.

I like doing everything with keyboard only, but everytime I got proficient at using things lime i3 and vim, I ended up at a job or school that insists on Windows only

So my solution was to just master all the key bindings for Windows Edge/Firefox....

Ive noticed zero loss of productivity doing this while still retaining Windows compatibility no matter whos computer I'm using and never having to remap key binds

Am I retarded or has /g/ been memeing me all this time?

PC1 does not boot with GPU inserted (stucks at Linux boot logo), works well with iGPU. GPU works perfectly fine with PC2. Used GPU for mining and thought it's dead because PC1 froze sometimes but it's fine and I can even mine and game with it for hours in PC2.
GPU worked with PC1 before I decided to change HDD to SSD. After that it froze sometimes, booted sometimes properly but now it stucks at this boot logo all the time (after GRUB).
Drivers are installed, tried with the old HDD (so, the same setup that worked before for a long time) and other distros/devices. Also different changes in BIOS menu didn't help.

Don't really understand this. What else can I try?

None at all, get a real table top.

I'm learning about MQTT. My question is what will happen when a publisher publishes a message to a topic with QoS 2 and there will be receivers subscribe to that topic with QoS 0. I understood that the receivers will get the message with QoS 0 but what about the the publisher? And what are the purposes of subscribe QoS?
Pardon my English.

>>62100204
Does it let you get past the boot logo if you boot into recovery mode? Have you tried chrooting into the installation and blacklisting the relevant kernel modules to see if computer boots with the software-based fallback (llvmpipe)?

Considering you said the iGPU works perfectly, it's likely a configuration issue. Some relevant information can be found in /var/log/Xorg.0.log typically, look for lines with (EE) and look up with google what it means.

Fix the error in the theme and it will stop nagging you, probably.

>>62100344

>>62100045
Activate the sidebar?

How try and catch block works on C++? when an exception is thrown and fixed by the catch block, will it return to the start of try block or to the current running instruction? I've tried this but always got random return point.

>>62100156
Because you took the picture upside down, but your phone was smart enough to see that you're a dipshit and added metadata tags to say "this guy's a retard, flip the image for him". So everywhere where you view the image it's right side up, because the program reads those tags.
When you upload .jpg's to 4chan (aside from /p/) it strips metadata. This is because other retards didn't strip their GPS coordinates from their pictures, and probably because people were embedding shit into there that shouldn't be there.
Thus if you view the image here, it's without the retard tags, so you view it how it's supposed to be.

In short, check your images before you upload them. Strip metadata yourself. If 4chan didn't protect you there might've been other data there (though it's unlikely).

>>62100435
it doesn't return back. If you want to retry, you would have to put the try catch block in a loop.

Where did everyone learn coding?

>>62101316
>Where did everyone learn coding?

You can learn a lot just by jumping in. The best place to get help in my opinion is stackoverflow. Most of the time my question has already been answered thoroughly.

https://stackoverflow.com/

I never actually go there though, I just google and the top answers are usually there.

What are you interested in? Getting a job or learning how to do something fun? If you want a job you might need a degree and certs, but if you want to do something fun it's all on the internet, mostly for free.

>>62101451
mostly for fun/personal use. I already know some java from a class in Highschool, but don't know any good general tutorials/resources that aren't case by case like stackoverflow

>>62101316
It's like drawing. Practice each and everyday until you want to die and are unhappy with your results and break through the unrealistic expectation you have about your own abilities. And then you work at Arby's.

>>62101487
>good general tutorials/resources

if that works for you, great. I can't stand tutorials. I love finding something I want to do, and then it's fun finding the solutions.

Java is great if you have an android device. Android Studio is free, and you can make any app you want. Don't expect to get rich, because every other coder in the world is doing it too, but android devices are powerful platforms with nice graphics, tons of sensors; the sky is the limit.

>>62101316
A lot of people won't hire you to do actual programming without a college diploma, people will let you do web stuff though.

It's expensive but udacity and udemy has a lot of nice stuff.

Did I break photoshop? What's going on?

>>62101933
That seems pretty normal to me, the faster you moved it the less "pressure" it applied and therefore wasn't as dark in those areas.
Ever wrote on a piece of paper with a board marker? The slower you go, the more is absorbed by the paper, and the darker that spot is. But if you drew a line quick across, it wouldn't be dark.
That's not exactly what's happening there, but I think it's easier to understand than pressure sensitivity and gets the general point across.

>>62102128
No, it's not that. I demonstrate this difference at the end.

The problem is that the area i use the eraser on becomes lighter no matter what i do until I cut the area away, which should really be the same as erasing, but apparently the eraser is leaving some sort of effect.

What are some good (and affordable) 16:10 monitors?

>>62102175
No, you moved significantly faster on that section after you erased, and were significantly slower before and at the end.
In fact, there are areas in that "erased" section that are both dark and light but aren't directly overlapped, so your theory is unlikely.
Now I don't know photoshop all that well, so someone else can feel free to chime in and reveal some secrets, but given that you were not moving at a constant speed during all the draws, and pressure tapering is a pen setting, I'm more inclined to believe you're looking for a problem that isn't there.
Try again at a constant, and slow, speed.

>>62101933
Does the eraser have an opacity setting?

I bought a used reference gtx 770 locally off a guy who bought it off ebay. I've done some testing, 25min of furmark and a little kombuster. Everything looks fine, only issues i have is that the bios version listed on the card doesn't match whats listed in adapter info. The ebay ad specifies it's never been used for mining. Is there any other reason why the bios wouldn't match other than the guy flashing it? Also the pcb side of the card is slightly dirty and gummed up and has cleaning streaks, which is weird since the rest of the card is fairly clean. If it was in contact with smoking it would have probably been dirtier inside.

>>62101316
Electrical Engineering is where I learned "proper" coding in the form of C. But I learned the basics by fucking around with a graphing calculator, making some calculations you do a lot in high school a bit easier with variables and if statements. Also learned a bit by just fucking around with batch scripts to automate a few things.

>>62101836
From my experience, it doesn't matter much weather the website is good or bad. The most important is to get started. Same goes for any project you want to do. Don't overthink it, just start and try to get the shit done.
I'm not english so I won't be able to give you some good stuff, but a nice tutorial / course should have two things :
1- explain you how shit works (what's compiling, what's binary, what's assembly code, how memory works, etc.) it shouldn't consider you as a retard and hide stuff.
2- It have to provide exercises with each lessons so you can practice.

Maybe the low resolution webm didn't do a good job, but you can see here there's clearly a square of lighter color (that I made using the eraser before scribbling with black)

Not to my knowledge, but I'm not very knowledgeable either.

>>62102525

>>62102525

No, I am thinking more along the lines of fgets but I want to know if there is a better solution that abstracts away and encapsulates the main source of errors namely having to manually maintain a buffer and grow it every time it nears fullness.

One is dealing with software in general.
The other is just computer theory, mostly useless.
The other is a marketing term for IT.

I recently reinstalled windows, and I'm having the absolute strangest issue.
I can't search for 64 bit programs. At all. They are fully installed, and I can run them from the Program Files folder, but I just absolutely cannot search for any of them.

What could cause this? Rebuilding my index did not help.

Why does this happen when I try to print from my wireless printer on Antergos w/ KDE? It worked on Windows.

My phone carrier offers a 6 month free trial of apple music and doesn't count apple music streaming against your download cap so I've decided to give it a go. It all seems pretty straightforward and decent but there doesn't seem to be any way to listen to podcasts in apple music on android. Do people just use a separate app for podcasts? Seems like a pain in the ass.

>>62105861
Yep
This is an ongoing issue, I've had this install for a while now and it hasn't gone away.

USB, I don't have any spare PCI-e slots.

My PC used to boot by itself at 5am in the morning to updates windows (8.1) so I went and disabled it in the power settings, however now the PC doesn't shutdown/sleep unless I update windows before putting it to sleep, any suggestions?
It literally doesn't shutdown or sleep, I tried waiting an hour once for it to shutdown but it didn't

Why does this happen? Is it just bad luck on my part? The description was very concise and all the pictures were clear.

Also the absolute worst part is that some 2k star asshole placed the first bet within half an hour before i could even change the auction type back to "buy it now" so to avoid any trouble/compensation demands on his part if i deleted his bid manually i just left it as an auction which led to this shitty underperformance in price

I sold something myself recently and it sold for peanuts compared to what it could have gotten. Theres a lot of assumption and speculation on my part on what i'm about to say but theres probably a lot of bid manipulation, especially with sellers who've been doing this for a while. That is to say, the seller either has secondary accounts or plants who upbid if the price isn't satisfactory. And i can't really blame them, it sucks to sell shit for next to nothing then get raped by fees. I've only ever sold three things on ebay, 5 years ago i sold something and came in the negative with the fees. I don't even know why people bother with ebay anymore, especially since sellers have next to no protection against buyers. The other problem is that I think ebay is leaking usersboth buyers and sellers, so theres less people looking to buy x thing on ebay, so less competition for bidding. Also some people aren't willing to take the time and be patient enough to lurk ebay for a good deal.

Why is it faster to step forward in a video than backwards? Now that I think about it, can a video file easily be played in reverse? Does this have to do with the compression scheme?

Most (all?) modern codecs don't just incode a series of still images but the differences between said images. So to get to the next frame you just apply the diff but they don't go so easily backwards.

I'm a complete fucking retard and my fingers and cramped space inside my case caused me to break my secondary 16x PCI-E slot, is there any way to connect the second GPU without it? Like a riser or something? I just got the card today and fucked myself this hard, please don't telle I'm fucked.

Is it true that DVI isn't the gold standard for connecting your GPU to an LCD anymore? What is the successor?

Explain.

Its a R9 290 and its so fucking big I couldn't properly see, thought the lock was unhooked but it wasn't and when I pulled to remove it the slot snapped in half.

I want to kill myself desu

Is there the opposite of what I have pictured?

I commute a lot and regularly use my headphone mic to talk on the phone while I'm walking. Recently I bought a Walnut V2 for all of my music but hate reaching into my sling bag to plug my headphones in when I get a call - is there a device or an adaptor I can use to connect my phone and my low power media player to the same pair of headphones (or maybe being able to select which input device with a switch?) or would I risk damaging my devices?

Basically I want two input devices connected to the same headphones, help me make a real life MGS codec.

>>62106967
Use the 3rd PCI-E slot.

>>62106968

>Is there any way to route two vpns through one another
This is difficult and achieves no benefit. It's basically the same as using TOR except you pay for each node you're using. Exactly like TOR, all anyone has to do to identify you is look at the VPN that you're using to access the internet, the last one in the chain.

The site owner just sees the traffic from the last VPN and can identify and track you based on browsing history. Governments can track you by asking the last VPN to give up your user data which, unlike TOR, the VPN actually knows.

A mini passive mixer and a mini amp would probably work for getting both signals.
A switch would be cheaper and easier but you couldn't get both at the same time.
The most convenient option is to uh, you know, just listen to music on your phone.

I dropped my TV because I'm a retard and afterwards this weird thing happens where black colors look green. Every other color looks fine, and when I'm doing stuff like playing bright retro games the TV performs as normal.
Also certain blacks don't look green like the black from a Linux terminal. Tends to be only black colors in movies or games.
Anyone knows if this shit is fixable? I don't want to haul it all across town to a repair shop only to be told it's fucked

Know nothing about VPNs other than they keep your traffic anonymous and all.

Recommend me a good VPN company/service.

For most amps yes.

Can I use a VPN on a router that is being used a switch? So
computer > router VPN > access point > modem > isp > VPN?
And then all traffic going through the switch gets on the VPN? But traffic going through the AP is normal?
