Hey guys I want to make an application to launch some programmes on my pc.
I.e. I want to hyperlink application shortcuts into one application. Like I'll have a screen with buttons and clicking those buttons will launch recycle bun etc.
I want to make this to clean up my desktop. I know I could just make a master folder and copy all the shortcuts there but I want to do this instead.
Is there any way for a noon like me to do this? Maybe with a batch file?
Thanks for your time.

install gentoo
>recycle bun
But anyway, an easy way to do this would be to right click on your desktop go to view and hide your desktop icons.
Then pin your file explorer (if you haven't done so already) and access it that way.
P.S /g/ is NOT your personal tech support team or personal consumer review site.
But what do you know, it's summer
>>55171796
Create a new folder. Put all the shortcuts you want in there. Right click on the folder. Pin to start. Now all your shortcuts are located in one easy to reach and unobtrusive place.
I usually just lurk here and enjoy learning new stuff, even though I seldom have any to contribute to threads. I have some money tucked away for investments and I am looking at different crowdfunding projects. It would be really neat if you guys could take a look at the different projects and say what you think. I should stress that I haven't invested in any of them yet. Also; feel free to post projects/tech that is being developed right now!

They are going to tell you to go to /biz/, buy AMD, neck yourself, or check out their "friend's" startup.
>>55171142
Calling it "donation" would be more accurate.

so what do you use to block ads ?
pi-hole master race here
>>55168453
ublock origin and noscript seems to take care of all explicit advertisements. not sure what to do about native ads yet, i.e. shilling.
>>55168453
The host file.
>>55168453
i have this script run every week by placing it in m /etc/cron.weekly/ folder.
https://paste.teknik.io/Raw/cWmPl is the link to it.
it basically downloads hosts files then merges them into one file then it removes duplicates.
How do you remove this shit? I've tried everything.
install gentoo
>>55167947
never change, /g/.
Check addons, plug-ins, and if none of that is there then use malwarebytes anti malware and do a full scan. Spybot search and destroy also wouldn't be a bad idea either.
Then install ublock Origin, or tell your 8 year old brother to stop installing shit from Minecraft porn sites.
I use uTorrent, VLC and adblock AMA.
>>55167660
what's wrong with VLC other than retards getting confused by all the available options?
Oh my god who even gives a shit

Hey /g/.
I want to use gentoo on my desktop computer, but I don't want to sacrifice my main drive running Windows 7 because muh gaymes and muh smug anime face folder.
I have a spare 500GB HDD I salvaged from a laptop; this will be the drive that houses Gentoo.
Does anyone have a configuration like this, or have they done something like that in the past? I would like to know what precautions have to take before attempting a dualboot like this. I don't want Gentoo locking me out from my Win 7 drive, and vice versa.
Pic semi-related.
All you'll have to do is configure your bootloader so that you can select between Windows and Linux at boot. With a non-autistic distro this is done for you (at least with Ubuntu/Mint). Dunno about GENTOO.
>>55166738
heh, a toaster
>>55166738
Windows wont boot off a toaster without heavy modifications.
I download all the software (python,twitter reporter, etc) but whenever i search for the noobguide, i get 404. Anyone know where I can find it?
Gentoo has what you need.
try the anonymous subreddit they'll know.

I thought they didn't even make those anymore, except for the bottom-tier stuff like GF 710s that can barely outrun integrated GPUs

Hey /g/. How can I get the most out of my internship? I want to ask my supervisor if I can do things independently to help the company, so that I can come away with a lot of stuff to add on my resume. Plus, it's the kind of company where a good recommendation will go a long way in the sector.
Some info:
>small finance / data company
>mainly using Python
>been here for two weeks, the first week mainly being acquainted with their technology
>>55165687
Don't be a fucking busybody.
You're an intern. Do your work. Do not go looking for work.
>>55165687
Do not do extra work unless you can get paid a bonus for it.
If they want you to do the same job their full-time employees do, make sure you get paid the same as them.
you be a normie and bee yourself and make other people like you. which probably involves doing your work but really that's needed only in so far as is necessary to make them like you. once they like you, they hire you, serve as references for other jobs, etc.
its all nepotism and back-scratching in management and HR, nobody there gives a shit what you know or if you actually do good work.
Hello /g/. I just bought myself two 144hz screens, but I've ran into a problem. My pc only has one dvi port, so my main monitor is rendered at 144hz while the secondary monitor is at 60hz. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, as I don't play on the 60hz, but every time there is a video, stream or a gif going on the 60hz monitor, the 144hz instantly gets capped at 60hz as well. Is there any cable that doesn't require a dvi port that makes my monitor render at 144hz, or any other solution to this?
DVI or Displayport. That's all there is.
If you have a card that doesn't have a Displayport connection then you probably don't have the horsepower to drive 144fps on a 144hz monitor

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5820K CPU @ 3.30GHz
Video Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti
RAM 16 GB
Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 (build 10586), 64-bit
That's my specs.
I run every game at, at least 120fps, usually around 144. The performance dropping when I use my second monitor is however very annoying, as I usually watch streams or videos on my second monitor.
What's up faggots.
So I have to do this dumbass survey project for end of quarter.

Depends on the application you need to run, all three choices have good use cases

Seriously though, I work for an ISP, and I can log into any of our customer's CPE equipment to run speed tests and check signal. This isn't malicious however, and collecting data about signals and packet loss is just another part of making sure the ISP network is healthy, as well as providing valuable business intelligence data. Automatically assuming that data collection is malicious is jumping the gun
Why aren't you using PCI-E riser cards for better cooling?
I don't know what that means.

Aren't sonic and light repellents bullshit and the most effective is good old DEET and DDT?
