Can I use a 16-pin test clip on an 8-pin SOIC?

>>62154093
No, you need to uninstall the old card completely. Use a program called DDU, it works best.

It will prompt you when you can shut down and remove the old card and swap for the new one.

Also, make sure that you download the driver files for your new card before you do anything. Once you have the card card set, power up and install drivers and wala!

No prob. Again, make sure that you do the latest drivers for the new card before you run DDU

I think Python is a horrible language because it's far too limited and it teaches bad practices.

If you don't know any language and want to get started, I'd start with Java then. Modern C++ is also decent to start with too.

So i'm kinda new with linux other than the limited experience i have from my uni's PCs. I got me a new SSD and i wanted to put linux on it, so i wondered what distro would be "best" and more usefull in long run, since i plan on using linux as my main OS from now on.
Main distros Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, but sugest whatever you think will be best.
P.S. needs: programming, customizability

>>62156566
for long term use I suggest arch with the lts kernel, gives you a stable base and with the aur you have easy access to virtually everything that will run on linux

arch or alpine

>>62156597

Forgive me /g/, I just wanted a highly adjustable chair and that's the most reasonably priced one I could find. Hopefully this fixes my back issues. I already exercise and stretch daily, but my back just locks the fuck up sometimes when I bend over and it leaves me in pain for a while.

I live in america so a doctor isn't an option.

Are there any custom roms for honor 4x "che2-l11"?
the only one i can find is "modaco' which just looks like the stock rom with trivial improvements.

Moved from atx to itx, and my temps are noticeably higher as expected. Currently running my 4690k@ 4.6hz/1.27v and capping at 90c under a stress test, but only gets to high 70s(79c cap, but only during a split second spike) during actual application. I'm stable, but worried about temps. Should I drop my clock to lower temps, or is she safe to run.

>>62158777
>What's the difference between X and Y?
X is a type alias to the struct Y.
>Does Y have any purpose?
No. X can just as easily be a type alias to the anonymous struct without a tag.

>>62158794
Personally I go by how it behaves in the stress test, and I'd say that's too hot and back off, even if "normal use" doesn't hit those temps. That's the point of a stress test, if your machine is fine under the worst possible load it can face, you can have confidence it'll be okay under everyday loads.

Stick something in the vent to stop the fan from spinning. Then blast it with canned air. If there's a big hairball in there (pets cause this) that won't help, but if it's just dust it should fix it.

The reason you have to stick something in the vent to hold the fan still is that if you spin it faster than its designed for by blowing canned air on it (which is easy to do) you can break it. Then you'll have to find a replacement fan assembly.

If you do take it apart repaste it.

I can think about it abstractly as well, this is how I came up with the formula, but I was looking for a formal proof.

luckily, the guys in /sci helped out.

by the binomial theorem
(m+r)^x
= sum_{i=0}^x (x choose i) m^i r^{x-i}

each summand with 1<= i <= x is divisible by m so is equal to 0 mod m

so
(m+r)^x 
= sum_{i=0}^x (x choose i) m^i r^{x-i}
= r^x (mod m)

Possibly, but I would guess the bios battery first. If the hard drive is dead, there will be a message saying that there isn't a hard drive.

Have you tried booting Linux using a USB/CD drive? If the bios battery is toast, or not seated properly, you won't be able to. If the hard drive is toast, you will still be able to load up Linux.

>>62155667

I'll keep it high level. Remember C executes top to bottom.

>#include <stdio.b>
Preprocessor directive that adds the standard IO library
>int main() {
All C programs start executing at main. Main MUST be present in the program. It's declared as int because C programs return integers representing their exit status .
>printf ("hello, world!");
Formatted print function. Prints the string literal "hello world" to standard output.
>return 0;
If the program has gotten to this point, return a 0 before exiting. 0 means no issue. Anything else is usually an error.

did you select boot manager? is there a key prompt to get into boot options while it is booting?

depending on the settings in the BIOS, it wont "just work" and boot the stick. you have to tell it to boot the stick.

>>62159643
If you purchased it once, you shouldn't have to purchase it again. It's tied to your google store account.

if you can get the cmd up, run the command as detailed in step 2 here (and use the /f option): https://windowsinstructed.com/run-chkdsk-windows/

that should at least be a step in the right direction.

>>62159768
That would be my recommendation. You'll boot up and be able to see whether the laptop detects a hard drive. If it does, then the hard drive isn't dead (although it may be damaged if you're hearing a lot of beeping).

My personal advice to anyone who has trouble with Windows is to try and push Linux Mint UNLESS they have programs that they need that aren't available on Linux (like Photoshop - GIMP is fine for the layman, but not a suitable replacement for professionals).

I usually get them to do it by saying I charge 10 bucks per hour to try and diagnose and fix the problem (with no guarantees), but that I'll install and optimize Linux Mint for 20 bucks, and that if anything goes wrong with it that isn't hardware, that I'll fix it for 20 bucks at most, no matter how much time it takes (if its that bad, I'll just USB boot, save the files they need, and reinstall).

>>62159815
>cmd

I'll give that link a go. Cmd is the only option that didn't fail immediately. I'll run thru that guide and see.

If you're looking for more than a couple of years on Windows, I would recommend 16gb of RAM (you'll need it on Windows 10, and Win7 is dying in 2019). If you're looking for more than a couple of years on Linux, I'd recommend at least 4gb of RAM. Depending on the distro, perhaps even 8gb.

When I am using Windows and I want to install a program to a hard drive different from the one I have the operating system installed on it is a simple matter of changing the install directory path. For example choosing F:\Program Files\ instead of C:\Program Files\.

In a Linux-based system how do you accomplish the same thing when you are installing things from the terminal? For example if I want to install firefox I would just type

sudo apt-get install firefox

and choose yes when prompted to go ahead with the installation. But this puts it on the same drive as the OS.

What do?

>>62160857
Y tho

>>62160739
Short answer: you don't.
Long answer: Ubuntu/debian programs are compiled with the FHS file structure in mind so they don't have to come with libraries of their own and can use ones already installed. So, you'd need to compile it yourself using your own mind set.

>>62160698
You can buy it with your card and then remove the card from your account right after checkout so it's not got the details sitting on your account, if you want...

>>62160973
So my best option is to compile as a stand-alone binary? I suppose there is a relatively simple way to also link that to the programs list in the terminal so I can just type its name and have it function in a similar manner.

Still, this seems like a real weakness on the part of the Linux system. In Windows if you wanted to put programs on a flash drive and take them from computer to computer it's very simple.

>>62161070
you could use ln to create a symbolic link to the other drive/partition

>>62161070
Windows programs come packed with the libraries they use. Linux programs are separated from them during distribution.
It's not a weakness in linux as much as an faulty expectation on your part. You can NOT use aptitude to install a program and make it with the libraries in the same folder and move it around freely.

>>62161070
Or you could install to a chroot.

>>62161151
It depends on the bottleneck point. If it is the CPU probably nothing will change. If it is the GPU and you are only getting 70 fps you probably won't get 60 fps with same settings since it is 25% more pixels.

And more importantly why won't all the crypto miner neckbeards simply drop dead

In terms of importing my firefox profile with all the extensions and theme and so on can i just drop my old ff profile folder into the waterfox default one thereby replacing it or do i need to build that shit from the ground up again?

Such behavior isn't healthy, don't let it continue, or keep the AC compressor running@Low to avoid jumps/drops. how cheap if your PSU?
Check grounding, Plug AC to different relay/Outlet @ other room, could also be old wiring.

Second hand mining card for GBP 30

>"Each card has had the bios straps modded to increase mining power. Will do 27MH/s ish without overclocking or 29-30MH/s with overclock.

>All cards have been configured and tested.

>All cards are approx 2 months old.

>I have 2 complete original boxes, 2 outer only original boxes and 1 without a box. They will be boxed in first come first serve order. Once the original boxes have gone I'll ship in an unbranded box fully protected.

>Other then that all in perfect working order!

>I have other GPU's for sale, all RX480 8GB's so please see my other items.

>Collection would be great to save postage costs, but if not I will post tracked and signed delivery for both of our safety! "

Is it worth it?
I've asked if they got a warranty. It on ebay so if I get screwed I can get a full money back guarantee. The seller also has a very positive rating.

Anyone know how to check if the card is up to shit when I do get it. Like my own stress-test diagonostics so I can catch if the cards defective before the month ends?

while 24.000Hz is 24p exactly, most stuff is 24/1.001Hz (~23.97602397602397602398Hz)
the difference is minute, and won't matter at all assuming your player can re-time the video/audio (such as using display-resample with mpv)

>>62154599
It doesn't sound like the problem is the memory itself. If you're getting a bluescreen then it's likely drivers. Update them. Maybe reseat the ram for good measure though.

How do I make new pipe the default player when I open YouTube links?

Monitor doesn't work if I connect it via hdmi, dvi, vga to the gpu. Monitor led light just kept on blinking after boot. It does work if I connect it via vga direct to the motherboard.

I already removed and placed the gpu back. Is my gpu dead? Don't have another system to test it.

Im connecting a vive to displayport.
Should I use hdmi to displayport or mini dp to dp?

It is an upgrade... So...

i want to unlock my phone with swiping instead of having to press a 4 digit password all the time.
in the "blocked screen" options the swipe options say they are disabled by the administrator.
how can i allow swiping as an unlocking method?

I don't think there should be a difference, personally I'd go with (mini) DP to DP just because I hate HDMI.

Is there any downside to re-encoding all my porn videos to mkv h.264? I've tested a few videos and the quality is practically the same. I'll be keeping them 1080p, but the file size is like 60% of the original, so that means I can keep more porn saved. Any downsides though?

Do I have to be good at drawing to be good at animating stuff?

>>62164831
You can teach yourself to draw. It's not a pure talent. (Atleast until a point)

>>62164672
It's a lossy to lossy conversion, so yes, the quality will decrease. I try to keep the original files whenever possible, but if you're fine with sacrificing (an apparently unnoticeable) quality, then there's no problem.

>>62164875
Any tips?

>>62164876

I keep movies in original format / high bitrate, but with porn I feel like you can afford to lose some quality and still does the job just fine.

>>62164888
I don't know shit about drawing... Just that you can learn
