/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

[re[pst from old thread]

just bought a psp slim (couldn't repair mine and bought the new one that is pretty cheap)
.
it boots and works with music and all that stuff but when I try to play any game it always hangs during the game boot and the memstick indicator won't even blink or light up then it fucking turns off.

I tried this fix
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGRV9KX3btk&t=0s [Embed]

then changed the driver to M33 and out of nowhere I was able to only boot a single game

I think the issue here is that my memstick is already corrupted and dirty. Even tried using microsd to memstick adaptor but it seems that the sd card is also dirty (had to fsck the card on windows after trying to copy some games and the games don't even fucking appear at all)

PSP still had it's warranty sticker, never been opened (in fact I was the first one to open it. button flex are all original too).

Is this a hardware issue or it's just that my memstick cards are shitty?

I also plan on doing this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-6eEBsUVc0

Google hasn't helped. I've searched and tried a lot of shit to try to fix this but every random interval of time maybe 10 minutes or 20 minutes or so my keyboard will ignore the first key i press when I go to type into something, be it a browser, irc, discord. Its really fucking annoying. I'm running arch linux with i3wm. pls halp its driving me crazy. shit works fine in windows 10.

If your temps are above normal or when your shit is overheating.

Been watching for an ultrawide for awhile. While ultrawides in general lag behind true 4k in the resolution department this deal popped up and I want to know if /g/ approves before I jump on it.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MTIZQQM/

This one is selling for $860 and the other sellers have it priced at over $1700.

At that price I can actually get a 1080TI to run the thing properly and still come out ahead.

Too good to be true? Can amazon fuck me over if it is a pricing error?

pls tell me why this makes no difference in temperature compared to only having 1 upper exhaust, the front intake blocked by drive bays, and 1 pull fan on the heatsink

fuck fuck fuck i think my laptop GPU just fried. I was working on laptop and then suddenly monitor went black screen (still backlit could be seen). Fans was still spinning, Leds was showing. But OS was not responsive anymore I tried to press Power Button for a sec to initialize sleep but it didn't work so I forcefully shutted it down by holding power button. Then, Removed the cable, battery pressed for a minute the power button to discharge, plugged the cable again, tries to turn on and nothing, screen is not even turning on now, fully black. Fans are spinning and one LED is showing which indicates that laptop is turned on. Tried few times this. I even removed ssd in hopes it will turn on.
tl;dr Is my laptop gpu fried or something else? When turning on screen is fully black(no backlit), but fans are spinning.

So I have had a Debian VPS for a while now and it's great for hosting my site. I've now decided to host a second site and for some reason it's being a pain in the ass. It's running Apache 2.4 I think, not using (httpd.conf). I'm getting all sorts of name resolution errors but if I go directly to the IP address of my VPS then it shows the second site. My original site works, just the additional site isn't resolving and I'm kind of stumped.

How's the performance of 3D applications/games under a virtual machine with only an integrated GPU? Keep in mind I'm going to use a notebook with an i5-4300M so I'm not going to play intensive games.

I ask this because I'm debating whether to dual boot Arch and Windows or just run Windows under a VM.

Say hello to no warranty!
you want to only scrub the windows PARTITION - not the drive.
Then use the windows recovery bullshit to reinstall (unless the laptop is actual fucked and you can't boot)

DO NOT SCRUB THE ENTIRE DISK.

>>62423955
Shit, it works for me now, but the area where i can grab the selection is kinda wonky, gotta center the cursor pretty well

>>62424177
What about my other data partitions? Just do them individually I assume?

Also they wanted me to sign a document regarding authorization to access the OS, so I explicitly signed my denial of authorization. Meaning if they want to boot into the PC, they'll have no choice but to reinstall the OS first.
Should I still reinstall windows myself?

If it's too much of a hassle I'll just leave it be, hoping they won't run data recovery tools on my shit for whatever reason. It's a dodgy CPU fan causing the problem, so they really shouldn't need to mess with the OS much. Of course that assumes that they'll do their job properly, but this is ASUS so I don't think theres a huge risk.

The EFI partition, MS Recovery and the smaller MS Reserved partitions need to stay unformatted.
Whatever would nominally be C:\ and any other user ata partitions should be formatted to remove your data.

Once you format your partitions, boot from the recovery partitionto reinstall windows to the standard image that came with your laptop.

This is all to prevent whomever is doing the RMA pinning whatever issue you have on not using the default windows install (this happens quite a lot)

>>62424350
Meh, sounds like a hassle. I'll wipe my data partition just in case they go through the trouble to piece together how I was torrenting games, however unlikely that is, and leave the rest intact.

Thanks for the advice anon!

Okay so according to Apple, A11 has a 3 core GPU. How does such a GPU achieve an advantage over any other CPU? From my rudimentary understanding, a GPU achieves the huge advantage in graphics tasks due to parallelism, which is achieved through having tons of cores working together at the same time. So how does the A11 GPU achieve this with only 3 cores?

>>62424839
'Cores' anon 'Cores'
Technically a FuryX/Vega64 is a 64 core GPU, but it depends on your dfinition of a 'core' when dealing with a GPU.
If a 'shader' is core, then Vega64 has 4096 cores.
If a Compute Unit is a core, then you have 64 cores, each with 64 bipelines.

>>62424912
okay so each of those three cores are clusters of x amount of shader cores? well that answers the question, thanks

>>62425399
Depends, if a HDD is having a hard time keeping up then yes

No no. My tv has a thing called gaming mode that decreases input lag by sacrificing visuals I think

Basically. It's like a "for dummies" book. But with linux there's more base shit you want to know for when something goes wrong and you need to fix it. Also shit like logging in or connecting to internet is different, using a command line is way more helpful to the average linux user than most mac/windows users. Then there's shit like choosing a distro and working with package managers

>>62426469
You probably could, but goddamn would that be useless. Most people don't even benefit from a ram disk in the first place.

my windows 10 ltsb enterprise edition 90 day trial ran out a few hours ago, and since that exact moment my pc shuts down randomly, i havent timed it but its once every hour or so.

windows gives me no heads up, just shuts every program and shuts down (not reboot)

is there a way to stop this shit without buying a key? I have seen people on here numerous times say that you can run windows 10 without activating it indefinitely and only suffer the consequence of the watermark in pic related

tried google already, only thing i can find is that allegedly this is windows trying to activate itself of something like that

it's supposed to shut down every hour or so to make you want to activate it

>>62427284
Without looking up any specifics, I can tell you that increasing your core count is almost always the worst way to improve gaming performance, especially beyond 4. Single core performance is by far the most important stat. Also gaming can be pretty hard on dual card setups these days. You might actually get better performance on a 1050ti on a lot of games, but if you're happy there then don't worry about it.

Its the same thing as the voter's dilemma. Nobody as an individual has a reason to vote, but collectively it makes a huge difference. You can argue that nobody has any reason to do anything with the greater good in mind. To annons original point, supporting a developer is a reason to unblock unobtrusive ads if they don't bother you, at least until that completely collapses as an earning medium. If you'd rather pay up front, knock yourself out.

Not visible ones. It's mostly about the shielding and wire quality. Ideally everything you have would be a minimum of 5e.

>>62429287
Well that's not a hard thing to search for. Keep in mind that the spec battery life is a best case scenario and will tend to degrade over time. You might look for something that charges over USB C so you don't have to carry a bulky charger. Also that's not a lot of space so it'll be more of an internet machine. You might look into a chromebook or a lightweight linux distro that uses minimal resources like peppermint.

You may catch something, but it's not a way to thoroughly prove that there are no errors on the disk. SSDs give the OS an abstraction of where data is actually stored, so a tool designed for disk drives would not be able to test every sector

>>62429952
Exactly. You have zero confirmation it was designed with SSDs in mind. You agreed that a tool designed with SSD's specific type of architecture and troubleshooting requirements would be better at reliably testing them. Therefore a well designed tool built specifically with SSDs in mind would be inherently better.

I'm not really interested in continuing this, and I think annon's long gone. A tool that isn't built to accommodate SSDs will be inherently limited in what it can do. Simple as that. If you want to go beyond s.m.a.r.t., there are a lot of options. I will say that flash memory is some funky shit, and a manufacturer has better low level access than anyone else does. If they take advantage of that, they are in the best position to create effective diagnostic software.

Badblocks can tell you that the file storage device is reliable or not. Call it limited if you want.
>If you want to go beyond s.m.a.r.t., there are a lot of options.
I am asking it again. Please show me one, just one.
> I will say that flash memory is some funky shit, and a manufacturer has better low level access than anyone else does.
Probably.
>If they take advantage of that, they are in the best position to create effective diagnostic software.
Yes of course but have you read that paper some university or something tested ATA Secure erase implementation of some storage devices and found out only a few have correct implementation. So manufacturers are retarded, you are on your own and the best tool you have is badblocks.

>You can spend more, get a desktop
Not an option as of now
>or learn to live with what you can squeeze out of integrated.
that's what I came here asking, if a $500 laptop is capable of semi modern gaming, even if at low settings 30fps, or if I'll be stuck with 2011-13 games

So a riped banana exploded in my backpack and it's juices got on half of my portable battery. It still works but how do I clean off the dried sugar stuff without messing up the battery

You could go for a last gen GPU

But last gen is majorly gimped compared to current, and last gen mobile cards are even MORE gimped. It's a pretty big power waste for that little performance, but it's something.

how compatible are mac parts?

i have a dead imac (mobo fried) and a macbook pro that doesnt charge. i dont really care about either of them, but can i take the internals from the macbook pro and somehow make them into a desktop (aka no battery required) ?

Since no one answered me on /pcbg/, I will try it here:

Is a evga 500w 80 plus enough for a ryzen 7 1700+1080ti (planning to buy when the prices drop, will keep my r9 380)

Should I pick a x370 or a b350 mobo? I will overclock it on the wraith spire cooler

I have a nzxt h440 case, will I need any extra cables or something like that to build it?

yeah no

thanks for all these useless info i can't use to find an answer to my original question...
again, if i could do anything with these info i wouldnt be here asking others

Did you guys know that it's not a good idea to shrink your primary partition with parted? I didn't. I found out that it takes 8 hours to fail at repairing the damage, but only 30 minutes to nuke everything and reinstall arch. A day well spent.

It's easily enough based on the wattage.

best Vivaldi adblocker?

Is there a way to block a certain country or language on Steam so I don't see them in the forums, guides etc.? I already block every chinese user I see but I still see their posts.

What are the cheapest domain names/suffixes?
how much can i expect to pay for a .tf domain ?

Dude, I get what you're saying, but there's "needing help with something I can't understand" and then there's refusing to absorb anything when it's spoonfed. That first link tells you what happens when you try and run games on current integrated graphics. It has a pretty little graph of all of their framerates. That is as direct of an answer as anyone can give.

You didn't specify you wanted brand spanking new. That's not the norm on here at all.

Lets try it this way. First result on google for "best gaming laptop under 500"

https://laptop.ninja/finding-the-best-gaming-laptops-under-500-dollars/

Click on "view framerates"

If you take a screenshot of the snapchat page that displays everyones story, do they all get a notification you screencapped it? I use it to zoom in on the little version to watch their stories without them seeing it.

com is probably one of the cheapest and yet one of the most respectable ones. Just go check in godaddy

>>62423675
Check that your ram is in properly (just take it out, and put it back in).

A ded GPU is highly unlikely unless your model has a well- known issue.

Take it apart further and check for water damage.
Just because YOU haven't spilt anything on it doesn't mean freinds/ previous owner hasn't.

Last, try hirens boot CD. it's a live mini xp tool kit. you can check your RAM SSD (unlikely but might be worth checking).

Wait for your wizardhood to rid your mind of such pretty insecurities. Keep your futa, and you will one day fap with a clear conscience.

Serious question, is it illegal to do such things? I mean he gave us a book on it and wants us to test it, but still. I'm too deep into this stuff to know the over-arcing laws on it, but most websites say "maybe yeah" from what I gather

Can anybody help me find this game?
INB4 >/v/

It was a game you play in your browser which gives you a terminal and has you use Linux commands to complete spy missions. It was essentially an educational tool to teach you how to use the Linux terminal to complete tasks.

Thank you, anon. I love you.

I've got 64 Gb of DDR3 1600 MHz RAM and I'm looking to update my computer. Should I find an other motherboard that supports DDR3 or just give up and buy new DDR4 RAM.

Accidently Clicked Alt Ctrl f2 in ubuntu and dint know how to get out, I know alt ctrl f7 is home now but every time I boot my computer up it takes me to the black screen with the blinking space bar and when I do Alt ctrl f7 is takes me to a different screen with the same thingI did try the others f's but only similar things. To use my comp im having to boot in recovery mode, occasionally it will boot to a screen where I can type in my sda5 password but I am unable to type anything. Anyone have any idea of whats going on?

>>62434994
Its called proper use of a format.
Like using PNG for static and black and white images.
