/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

I currently have ubuntu 17.04 installed on my laptop, and after recently installing gnome I can't even login.
The computer freezes completely, only action I can do is force it to shutdown. It also seems to be using 100% of everything as it overheats and shutsdown by itself after 10 minutes.
Any ideas what the fuck is causing this? Computer works perfectly fine in recovery mode.
I have a HD8800M as graphics card, which is no longer supported so I have no amd driver for it. Tried an open-source driver but nothing changed, its still overheating and freezing.
I also hade all things related to bluetooth uninstalled since previously what was causing the freezes (before gnome) was errors with bluetooth starting up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've been going back and forth reading threads on AskUbuntu for more than 3 hours now.

Go look at AMD's PSP.

It has more access than anything Intel has on their chips, and it's running off of a standard ARM TrustZone setup. It's a literal poojeet setup because they don't have the money to go with a custom setup.

I recently got the CC version after using some old version forever, so all these new features are fucking me over.
I made a new document, which apparently is an "artboard" now, pasted in an image and used the cropping tool to resize it to fit.

Now when I save it it saves it at the original size, so I have my cropped image but it still has the size of the original document all around it.

>>62447947
You need to scale the canvas down or take the selection of the new crop and make a new image from it

>>62446676
>tfw AMD and nVidia have switched

>>62447964
>You need to scale the canvas down
how do I do that? to me it looks like it is the size I want it to be, like before saving it's just the image I wan't surrounded by black. So I can't see where the fuck the original size is.

Is there really not an easier way than having to copy all my shit into another document?

Without reading reviews or comparisons on color stats, I'd go with the dell out of that lineup. But 1080p is really harsh on 27 inches, so I'd consider bumping it up to 1440p or down to 25.

You can turn off the new file creation dialog in preferences.

You can also switch the toolbox back to the old 2-row setup - I only found this option after I'd already become accustom to the new toolbox though.

Question about Netflix.
I have a friend in the US who has a Netflix account that she and her family use.
I live in Europe, and she gave me her login information so i can watch Netflix on her account too.
I am aware that only 2 people can watch Netflix simultaneously, this isn't the problem. But are there any limitations to the total amount of people / devices that can access the account?
In other words, is she going to get in trouble for some guy in Europe logging into her account?

>>62449762
A US VPN would sidestep the issue (maybe).
But even without that, probably not. People travel. Even if she got banned, it's just a subscription service, could open a new account in her husbando's name or something.

My guess is she'd get a warning, or you'd get some failure message on the login screen
>yuropoors get out, Netflix is a US service reeeeeeee

>>62449762
They might raise an eyebrow to the fact that you are in a different country, but I doubt it. And in any case it would probably just prevent you from logging on. They're not going to suspend her account or anything.

You can be logged in on several devices, but if two people are currently streaming and a third clicks on a video, the third person will get a message saying they can't stream until one of the others stops. Or you can upgrade. $20 is enough to cover the jump to 4 screens for like a year.

>>62449820

I have an external hard drive (NTFS) that I loaded with a bunch of mp3 a few years ago on a Windows machine. Now have it mounted in Ubuntu and can read/play most of the files, but not others (e.g., I get "permission denied") when I try to play them with ffmpeg. Ubuntu says I have read and write access, so I'm a bit lost. Any pointers as to what the root cause is (something that would help me search for an answer) would be appreciated.

I have 2 gmails, one of which I don't want to add as an account on my phone. I only have specific emails in that account that I kind of care about but are somewhat private, so would rather not have it forward the entire email with subject and all.

How can I get account 1 to send an automatic canned email to account 2, after receiving an email with criteria XYZ? I don't want it to simply forward the original email, and the only thing in the labs I found was canned reply, but I don't want to reply, I want a ...canned "send email to another email" sort of thing.

YouTube is always going to rape the bit rate of your videos, right? I was obsessing over the quality of my gayman videos and hated how they looked more blurry than my source file, but then I watch even popular YouTubers and their videos of the same game actually look even worse than mine. So that's just what it is on YouTube, right? No better format I can change it to before uploading?

>>62450606
You might be seeing a shit quality video if you're on a slow connection, since even if you're getting the top resolution available there are different bitrates and mp4/vp9 versions. What's your download speed, anon? And does your browser support vp9?

The Wiki's back!!!

I just moved into a new apartment, and there is an optimum hotspot that I can log into with my parent optimum ID. I haven't gotten my internet hooked up yet, and I'm wondering if I can save money by just using the hotspot. How reliable will it be? I worried that it will keep crapping out on me, or suddenly disappear. I'd only be paying $20 a month for internet plus a required $60 installation fee. Anyone have any experience with something like this that can give some insight.

>>62451203
It's hard to say. Your latency won't be great, but that's not necessarily a problem. The main thing is how strong the signal is and how much interference you get from your neighbors. Also if you're sharing an unencrypted wifi network, anyone can see what you're doing, and you're pretty reliant on ssl to protect your shit.

Computer is dying and nobody can tel what it is. Its either psu or mobo or both. As such im building something new.

Going from 4770k to probably 1700 but maybe 1700x. Realize its a sidegrade but the cores should help with certain things I want to learn (namely blender).

My issue is with mobo and ram.
Asus has always treated me well. Is the ch6 worth the premium over the prime series? Never had a rog mobo before and im currently in a house share so wifi is a must.

Ram. As far as I can tell one of the best kits is the flare x as ryzen benefits from faster ram with diminishing returns after ~3200mhz. My issue is between 16 and 32gigs. Id prefer to have 32 but need help weighing the pros and cons and basically figuring out whats actually a reasonable expectation.

Gpu is a 7970 which I could upgrade but I only casually game lately and it seems to be holding up just fine.

Can anyone help me out?

not sure what the right dom selector method is in vanilla javascript but i'm guessing you're getting that wrong. use jQuery or something. libraries aren't just bloated garbage; they're better tested than you'll ever be bothered to do, and they abstract away stupid shit that shouldn't be blocking your development anyway.

I spilled water on my desk which splashed some onto my keyboard (ducky shine 5). It only really nailed the bottom right corner of the keyboard, but regardless i unplugged it immediately before anything visibly fried.

Took it apart and carefully dried any wet spots i found, and not have it sitting vertical with a fan blasting into it.

As far as the water within it when i took it apart, it wasnt that bad just a few droplets here and there on the components. Most the water slipped to the bottom. The main electrical components sit elevated above that so it wasnt touching direct.

Could it just be a coincidence that it looks to upload after you press that? It could just be that no one is downloading it from you most of the time. Torrents aren't actually uploading the files anywhere on the web.

They split the files into blocks/ packets, and then you download directly from other people. You might get blocks 1,5,7, and 15 from Dude A and blocks 2,3,4,6,8 from Dude B and blocks 9-14 from Dude C. Someone might then get blocks 4,9, and 13 of that same file from you and the rest from 10 other people simultaneously.

So you seeding only means you've made your copy of the file available to other people, not that it's necessarily uploading to anyone or anything at any given time.

Does anyone know what the advert to view conversion rate is when a channel does an advertising campaign is?

I was looking in the gmail settings but it seems the "filter" option is just a fancy search function.
Is there some other setting I should be looking at, or am I just fucking up the filter setting?

>>62453708
Wait actually I guess it isn't really uploading when I force resume. So if they only upload when someone starts to download them then should I just not limit the amount of torrents that can be seeded at once? Right now it's set to 3 at a time with the rest queued.

This is hella hard to know shit. Take it from the point of view of someone trying to monetize their videos. The amount you make per view varies wildly depending on the type of content and the expected audience. And google doesn't tell these kinds of numbers publicly, so all you've got is people self reporting. And it fluctuates wildly over time. Then there's things like that big advertiser crash back in march that shake things up even more. And if your ad sucks or people just aren't interested in what you're selling, you might get an especially terrible return vs someone who was advertising something in demand.

The skip inbox option AND applying a label makes it go to the new folder only. Or alternatively, gets tagged with only (label) and not the default inbox tag. It might just be semantics but whatever. Also this doesn't get applied retroactively.

What actually IS speed in 2d graphics? I mean like, let's say you just have a loop that draws a ball one pixel to the right each iteration (and un-draws the previous iteration too I guess), so you just have a ball going across the screen in a straight line. I'd assume it would just go really fast, as fast as the computer could draw it. Is that the case? To slow it down, is adding a few milliseconds pause in the loop the right thing to do?

Because I'm thinking for some reason the way to get it to move faster would be to just have it jump like 5 pixels each iteration instead of 1. But it would still go at the same pace. This makes sense because I thought most games had like a refresh rate thing that repeated however many times per minute, and EVERY moving object in the game would be subject to this one refresh rate loop, so you'd have to use pixel skipping tricks instead of actually drawing the object faster.

This is really stupid but I don't have any idea how any of this works

1. Try some stuff in pic related. Instead of rote exercises, you will be figuring out how to formulate and implement a legit software concept. A lot of these have some implicit lessons - for instance, anything graphical means learning some new GUI framework for a language of your choice.

Do all youtubers advertise? Is it advised that if I want to start a youtube channel that I advertise?

>>62454174
I am not a graphics expert but AFAIK:

-You wouldn't "undraw" it per se, you just draw the updated scene from scratch.

- A pause is absolutely the worst possible idea. Instead, you'd have some timer that produces an image every 16.666666ms, and in between you're computing the actual pixels of that image to be drawn. (This is a simplified scheme where a slower computer will slow the entire game down)

- Controlling the ball's speed means computing how fast it's moving in your units of choice, its new position, and then converting that to actual screen coordinates. Aside from game UI elements and very simple cases, there would be an underlying coordinate system used to determine your object's position.

Once again I AM NOT AN EXPERT, so I apologize in advance to whoever wants to correct me/add more details.

>>62454309
Don't pay to advertise, but if you make something good and think people might like it, you could post it on the internet and "advertise" for free. Just don't be obnoxious with it. I wouldn't even consider paying for ads unless my channel was huge and populated with content already.

>>62454733
Also, it has "Anti-glare, 3H Hard Coating" in case that's a factor in any methods.

>>62454565
Yep, on each tick you would compute the acceleration, determine the change in velocity based on acceleration, and determine the change in position based on velocity. And if the position would take you outside a wall/below a floor, you modify the position accordingly and reverse the velocity. (Acceleration would only be vertically down via gravity, to keep it simple)

if you get a samsung drive, they have transfer software so you can clone your entire boot drive instead of reinstalling everything. It's kind of finicky from my experience, but sometimes it does work right. I'm sure other manufacturers have something similar.

If your OS is still installed on the old HDD, you just have to change the boot order in the BIOS (where it tells you to 'press DEL to enter setup' or whatever) to make sure it boots from the SSD. Encryption might make it more difficult to access your old files, but I don't know.

I've been using a ps4 controller for games on windows for a while. Recently, I updated to windows 10. For a while everything worked fine, but now my computer won't recognized my controller. I've tried multiple controllers as well as multiple cables. I also tried plugging in a ps3 controller and it connected just fine.

It's not simply an issue of windows not reviving inputs from the ps4 controller, the controller doesn't display in device manager nor in printers and devices. When I plug the controller in, the light bar on the controller doesn't light up and I revive no notices about it connecting from windows. Does anyone know what this could possibly be?

I could open new tabs, I could type stuff on the search box and I could change settings but whenever I would hit enter to access a website or search something the page just wouldn't load and would stay blank. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, nothing. So I moved on to Firefox which is a little better but now after some time I got the same problem. Again, uninstalled and reinstalled it, nothing. And what's worse, this problem has spread to Firefox variants (Pale Moon, Waterfox etc). Only tor and Internet explorer still work fine but I'm worried the same might happen.

It's hella simple to just clone one drive to the other. Run macrium reflect and it does that shit automatically. Then just change your boot order, wipe the HDD and you're good. I would take the HDD out the first time you boot the SSD. Windows gets a bit weird about the way it references partitions if you don't. Also check if windows has disabled defrag. That's the easiest way to make sure it knows it's on an SSD now. If it doesn't, just re-run the user experience index.

This works pretty much 100% of the time and is virtually indistinguishable from an install that has always been on SSD.

>>62455231
"Good" isn't the word I would use. More like "marketable". Or "clickbaity", depending on your perspective.

Make sure the file is in an NTFS volume and isn’t in a compressed folder or volume.

[OK]
Any ideas on what the issue is and how to fix it?

I borked my EFI partition while attempting a dualboot, I can't boot into windows and other OS' can't recognize it unless I force them to. I already tried re-creating the partition but my MoBo is retarded and keeps setting C: to the USB I'm booting from and making the entire HD read-only.

Take the standard 3.5" drive it contains out of the proprietary enclosure and install it in a computer like you would a normal OEM drive

I might be building a new PC soon, re-using as many old parts as possible.
I have an old ATA/133 hard disk from 2004, holds 250 GB, and I don't want to throw it out 'til it dies. Would probably just use for storing unimportant stuff like [REDACTED]. That is, if there are still motherboards with IDE ports.

Are there any? Are there cheap-o PCIe cards that could help me connect it? Or is it time to put the old drive out to pasture?

It's noisy when it seeks and I like its grindy clicky clacky noises ;_;

seems like the easiest option (though not a very tech-supporty one) is to just ditch the isos and grab a different torrent with proper video files

I'm upgrading to a new computer after 3 years and I need to clear up which is better tech nowadays.

How big is the difference between an SSD over a HD 7200rpm? Is SSD way better and preferred?

What's the difference between a 120hz monitor and 60hz G-sync enabled monitor? Which delivers a better experience?

Is there any way I can copy my operating system onto a USB stick so I can install my current OS on another computer? Neither my current computer nor the one I'm building have optical drives.

>>62455855

I really shouldve checked when i downloaded but i was at my parents house for vacation. My place doesnt have internet set up so im using my phone as a hotspot, i really dont want to see how long it would take to download ~20gigs off 3g speeds. Thanks though, im pretty sure im going to break down and redownload it again at like the library or some shit.

do you guys pay for antivirus or just try not to do retarded shit

Wrong procedure, wait at least two more.
>How big is the difference between an SSD over a HD 7200rpm? Is SSD way better and preferred?
The performance difference is legitimate and very much there, but the price gap is in the way of affordable SSDs, for now the recommended setup is 120-250GB SSD for booting and games then 1TB or more 7200RPM HDD for conventional use.
>What's the difference between a 120hz monitor and 60hz G-sync enabled monitor? Which delivers a better experience?
120hz, G-Sync only acts as a substitute for V-Sync and makes frames appear smoother. 120hz deliver more frames and less blur than 60hz no matter how much proprietary bullshittery you might want to try. 120hz is the way to go.

It's like upgrading your internet from dial-up to hi-speed. To a lesser extent and to your computer instead. The little delay between clicking the program icons and actually seeing the program is practically gone, programs install much faster, and booting the computer is the biggest difference. A 7200 rpm is still far slower than a SSD. Personally, I think the best selling point is no moving parts since I've had 2 HDDs start clicking 1 year in. I think most would prefer a SSD today.

Honestly the G-sync stuff sounds like bullshit. I'd try the 120Hz one and hope to actually run games at 120FPS, and find out if I can see the difference. My eyes suck and I have glasses so probably not.

It's like G-Sync but better since it doesn't add cost to the monitors.
Not much else to say 2bh famalam. The only downside is having to use AMD.

Of course not anon, if you're setting computers up for others just leave an antivirus on there. I personally don't leave them on other's computers since they're all just bloated and boggy messes. Malwarebytes is what I use personally.

Is it possible to short out a USB3 controller through a USB3 header?

After doing some rearranging/maintenance, I found that all my USB3 ports didn't work. Taking a closer examination, I found I accidentally bent a pin on the header when I was reseating the plug(?).

Before I go through the trouble of troubleshooting it, I was wondering if it's even possible--looks like VBUS was touching INTA_P1_SSRX-

If you have fuckoff massive RAM it's not such a problem since modern OSes cache lots of stuff.

The real earth-shattering benefit comes when your OS is using the SSD as swap (hey, if it happens, you'll be grateful).

But yes, SSD ftw.

>>62455996
Y-yes.

If you're on nVidia you might wanna check out ShadowPlay
If you're on AMD I believe they have something similar, I'd use OBS just to be safe
If you're on Intel you can't use anything other than OBS.

b-bumpu~

On sites that give you a discount for buying a product as a recurring "subscription" that will be reshipped at a period of your choosing, can you get into trouble for doing this and then cancelling immediately after the first shipment goes out? They do say "you can cancel at any time" but I'm not sure if you repeatedly do this they would consider it abuse and ban you or something?

I've been receiving unprompted password modification confirmation e-mails from shit I don't use (i.e. Origin) and I don't know if that's a coincidence but I remember something like that happening almost exactly a year ago.
Do you have any idea what might be happening and to what degree I should worry about it?

As a general rule, no, but it might depend on the site. Amazon, for example, offers trial Prime memberships, and they don't penalize you for canceling right after ordering. In fact, they let me keep my full month of membership or whatever it was without paying a dime.

If they say you can cancel at any time, you can cancel at ANY time.

Your mobo doesn't dictate what "C" is. Windows does. Try doing a repair of your windows install.

>>62447847
I would go with the Dell, just because my current monitor refreshes with a break across the middle and it's annoying as hell for videos with rapid movement, so having a high refresh rate might preemptively fix that issue

>>62456257
When I set the boot order like such
USB>HDD
Linux sticks /sda/ to the USB
Windows sticks C: to the USB.

Been at it for a while, can't do anything without an EFI partition which I can't remake since I always get some bullshit error about the filesystem not being found.
>>62456284
>I would go with the Dell, just because my current monitor refreshes with a break across the middle and it's annoying as hell for videos with rapid movement, so having a high refresh rate might preemptively fix that issue
that's called Tearing, fixed by enabling V-Sync in your driver settings. Google it

>>62456168
do you have children who may have used your email to register for those sites?

>>62456432
It's a legit company running a WinPE based repair disk. You can go with a regular windows iso if you want, it'll be able to do some types of repair, albeit with less handholding

>>62456456
Hmmm, I'll try it anon but read >>62456444

>>62456444
Yeah I always though it was a bit dumb that ublock blacklisted all the major download site. Although I'll admit it's made it a little easier to rein in the old folks installs.

I did. Slow your roll.

>>62446676
What's the bump limit on /g/?
On /pol/ it's always been 300

>>62456505
Most basic way to attempt the repair with windows installation ISO:

http://www.dell.com/Support/article/us/en/19/SLN300987


If that doesn't work for you, you can try digging in with gandalf's WinPE, which comes in ISO form

>>62456570
Alright, thanks anon-kun~
I'll probably give up if either don't work and nuke the fucker from orbit after getting my things out of there.

>>62456588
Mkay. I'd consider a repair install before an outright nuking, but it's up to you

that doesn't mean the windows version will be just as good

>>62456968
Well, trying it costs literally nothing. I've used it on Windows as well but I fail to see the point of Firefox and its forks on Windows the botnet central. Chrome is the way to go on Windows IMO.

>>62456978
believe it or not but after the last update i lost ALL installed addons and their preferences. it was a headache to reinstall everything

>>62457001
>believe it or not but after the last update i lost ALL installed addons and their preferences. it was a headache to reinstall everything
They made a slight change that changed their configs from .firefox to .waterfox . There was a prompt when I updated asking me to import my shit.
>>Chrome
>i don't even want to hear about that
Well, you're gonna be stuck between Firefox Nightly, Firefox Forks (most are broken and outdated), Chrome, Chromium, and Chromium forks. I'd personally pick the least troublesome one

in umatrix, can i br more specific about blocked components?
i want some scripts to be blocked but some allowed

I'm on a tight budget so I can only pick one of these for a new PC. Which is better overall?

>60hz monitor and SSD

or

>120hz monitor and HDD 7200RPM

what would be better overall

Windows and Linux (any) dual booting. Will Windows spying shit be able to look at anything I have in a different partition that I have Linux stuff in?

Recently ads have been opening two tabs in the same popup window, so if you close it right away if your browser asks permission to terminate instances with multiple tabs, it will. This hasn't happened in the past few years I've been religiously using computers, only the past two weeks at most. How may I stop this besides using adblock (though I get if I were to use adblock, it'd be ublock origin)?

When I scroll on a website using the touch screen on my tiny 200$ tablet-computer it's virtually lagless, but when I scroll using the trackpad it's not. Anyone know why?

It's a HP x2 10, and I'm using Edge.

I want to back up the files on my hard drive so I can put the hard drive in a new PC and I have an external hard drive, can I just partition the external hard drives and move the files to it using cloning software?

I need a browser that isn't as fucking stupid as Firefox where if I accidentally do "close other tabs" then I can recover them all instead of 10% of t hem.
