I need a more portable laptop than my 15" 3+kg elitebook beast,
I can get a barely used Macbook5,2 (mid 2009) with great battery almost for free. If I upgrade the RAM, will it serve me well for just doing Webdev/Python/LateX/Reading PDF's/Watching 720p video/maybe matlab on the road?
Will probably install Ubuntu or something as it doesn't want to go further than OSX Leopard as far as I know. Also I have the Elitebook on the side for the heavier work

Hi /g/, just installed Arch Linux.
Had no problems during the installation, but now I'm trying to establish a wireless internet connection (I used wired connection during the installation). I've spent the last hour looking for a driver for my wireless card, which I have now located but it's not in a repository but on Broadcom site.
So the question is: is there some way to download the driver from there? I don't have a GUI on my system yet.

I'm trying to fix a toshiba laptop, it posts, bios loads, but always within 10 seconds of loading the OS it'll shut off and restart.

>>45660206
One of the first things I did, I figured it might be a heat problem and took it out. If the CPU or graphics were fried how would it act? I think it may be that because I'm pretty sure bios runs entirely on the mobo? so when it goes to run the OS that's when it starts using the cpu, but it takes a few seconds to die, so that makes it seem more like a heat thing.
If I got an external simply to back stuff up so I only used it to be backing things up and not use it regularly, would it last longer?
>>45660421
>If the CPU or graphics were fried how would it act?
You would get no response from the computer whatsoever
In your bios, is there a temp for the CPU to give you an idea? From what I can tell you, if three's a heatsink on the CPU then it's not a heat issue. It would go long past the desktop before shutting off. If it dies not long after turning it on, it's an electrical issue.

The bios doesn't have a temp but it isn't too hot to the touch, not enough to shut down. I've also been through the bios to turn off anything that may be shutting it down automatically, not there are many options.
Would upgrading the bios be worth a shot?
I've had an idea though, tomorrow I'll go to the local pc repair shop and see if they have a compatible mobo in their "freebie bin". That way I can isolate the cpu to see if that's the problem, and if it isn't then I might as well use that and make a pc for the workshop.
The cpu is an Intel core 2 duo P8600 @ 2.4ghz.
Just fast enough to play on my mind every time I see the laptop sitting idle in the top of my cupboard. also 4gb ram.
As for if it's an electrical problem with the laptop itself I've made sure I'm using the right charger, but if it's a short I wouldn't know how to go about finding it.

C++ Question :
I have a templated abstract class on type T, with two virtual functions that take in a value of type T.
Now I have a class that extends this abstract class, but specifies the template parameter to be an integer. The methods are implemented, but with integers instead of T as the type.
But it's saying that this subclass is still abstract, and thus I can't instantiate it, even though I'm overriding the methods.

I don't know what language that is, when does it say that? on the first iteration?
every time you remove an element from the list the array shrinks, the index of all items after the one you removed change down by one.
So if your last element has index 100 and you remove 1 at the beginning it is now 99.
When you iterate over them now after removing a few eventually you reach a point where your iteration index is bigger than the items left in the array.

Ask yourself: do you really need Elementary Os? Which version are you currently using? The old one based on Ubuntu 12.04?
If it's for the looks, you can easily make a proper, newer Ubuntu look like it. Install Ubuntu (or one of the flavors, I like Xubuntu) and then just install Plank for the dock. Voila, you have Elementary Os, but not buggy and actually supported.
As for the resolution, doesn't Elementary Os have a front-end to Xrandr? Install LXrandr, should be easier to set it that way (it doesn't have that many dependencies).
Is it possible to make it look like a folder with a bunch of files in it, is actually a virus that invaded my computer?

I got an Ocosmo 32" 720p tv on the cheap, but I can't seem to get the colors right. Hooking it up to my laptop, everything appears fine, but when I use my Chromecast or watch regular tv, everything looks much darker and maybe even lower quality then I should be getting.
How can I go about fixing it without paying someone to? None of the help online has been useful.
Anyway to browse the content of a Facebook group without actually having a Facebook account?

Thanks, not exactly high tech but good enough for me.
can someone give me the gist of chromecast and similar shit (android)?
i want to be able to display media to my tv but it seems like i see a lot of 'x app now supports chromecast!' posts around the internet. my phone, while old, just plugs into my tv and displays whatever is on my screen. thats what i want, but without plugging it in. why does it seem like chromecast seems to need per-app support? does it?
>>45665748
I'm sure he wrote it
>>45666323
Chromecast used to only run with supported apps, nowadays you can just cast your sceen directly.

Ever try the man page? Never had issues in 3 years using a thin client as a "desktop".
>>45666420
You misunderstand me. I don't want to "boot" anything. I want to run it inside Windows on a VM.

ah, then what you need is a virtual machine software, and wincdemu to mount the iso

Are there any tablet SoCs capable of playing 10bit Chinese cartoons without frame-drops or corruption?

That's what I thought. There were trolls in the other thread saying I could damage my main by running Linux in a VM.
Thanks for the helpful advice. You and Google are great troll filters.
How do I merge multiple (10) .docx files into one document without copy and pasting?
>>45666549
My TF300 can do it with a bit of stutter depending on the show; some shows are smooth, others not. Might be down to encoder settings, who knows. I figure the new Shield Tablet with the Tegra K1 can probably handle 10bit no problem. Best player is MXplayer; used to be Diceplayer but it went to shit at some point and got overtaken.
>>45666607
That has a Tegra 3, right? I have shit luck with my current tablet (Sero 7 Pro) and it can't play it without shitting itself and desyncing.
>>45666626
Yeah the TF300 is Tegra 3, and I still get stutter and sometimes desync like you described. But some shows are silky smooth. I think some encoders are just morons and use retarded settings that fuck with the mobile players; there's not much leeway for processing power on a tablet, unlike a desktop.

Hey /g/, how come I can't seem to max out my CPU?
>>45666549
Anyone have any opinions on octa-cores? I was looking at the Allwinner A80 and the new Mediatek MT8752 and figured that if it can't hardware decode 10bit, I should (hopefully) software decode that shit with 8 cores.
I have z77 mobo. Can I have just a single ram dim in there or do I need at least two?

>>45666970
If it does what you want it to do and you paid the correct price or less, yes it's acceptable.
>>45667038
I only want it not to die on me for the next 2 years when I'm able to afford a change.
>>45667016
It's just older, and a first gen APU, if it's fine for that's fine, but you could upgrade to AM3+ or FM2+ if you don't want a dead socket.

3G/4G/Cellular masts.
>>45667063
Probably gonna be hard since my country has been cutting down on all non-essential imports. Thanks for the tip!
>>45667056
It should be fine if you take good care of it and the PSU isn't so bad it's dangerous.
>>45667088
Taking good care of it would be blowing the dust off once a year and not be aretard with it in general? Any other precautions? I only started worrying about this last year so I'm not too knowledgeable about it.
Right now I'm planning to buy a wireless PCI card, because I can't have a cable running from the router to my room. Is there an other solution to this? Like an external wireless receiver that then I'd connect to the PC with a UTP cable? Is that a thing?
>>45667128
>blowing the dust off once a year and not be aretard with it in general?
pretty much.
Check your temps on a regular basis to make sure all's good inside. If you have to go into the case for whatever reason, take the proper precautions to get rid of static etc. If you wanna be super cautious you could change your thermal paste when you're getting all the dust out too.
>>45667206
Powerline adapters.
>>45667207
I never knew what the temperature is supposed to be so I just take >>45666970 as a reference of "ok". Is that really ok? Motherboard sometimes gets to 50C if I'm running a regular game or some other program. Thanks for your help by the way.
>>45659154
You could probably PXE boot from a file stored there. It wouldnt be reliable though. Just throw it on the flash drive, 64GB is more than enough for the os an almost any program you'll ever want and you can then store your files online.
Youve basically reinvented the chromebook
>>45667239
60C+ is a kinda high for an idle graphics card but if that's under load it's fine.
50C under load is fine for a mobo
Rest of the temps are pretty good & no problem Anon.
>>45667295
>60C+ is a kinda high for an idle graphics card but if that's under load it's fine.
Shit, that's its idle temp. Should I be worried?
So my new monitor from the cyber Monday sale landed today, so I shut down my computer, plugged everything back in, hit the power button and nothing happens.
I took my computer out to the hallways thinking it might just be a fuse problem, but nope, still nothing. So I took off my side panel to see if anything was loose, after this I tried that power button, and my fans whir around for a second or two, but then stop.
Does this mean my PSU is fucked? I don't have another PSU lying around to test this with, but at least if I know it's probably just the PSU I can rest easy knowing my wallet won't be too hurt.
Also the PSU and everything in my computer was bought brand new and it's overall no older than 6 months, I don't overlock shit or anything like that

check ~/.pip if you have runsudo pip
It can change the owner / perms of the directory blocking it.
I work on Openstack for a living and pip is the bane of our existance with its stupid settings and defaults.

How the fuck do mpd/ncmpcpp work?
I cant get either to launch! ncmpcpp just shows up w/ no ui
and a shit ton of cpu.
I've looked it up and tried dicking around w/ various config to no luck.
>>45667343
Once playing Shogun 2 at rather high settings it got around 72 C or something, so I panicked and have been playing relatively less graphics heavy games.
>>45658739
i7-4790k or i5-4690k? Wanna play games like Civ5, GTA5, Eve Online, etc.
>>45667374
Well that's pretty safe, you wanna start really worrying when it gets towards 90-100. Still, you should look at what's causing the high idle temps. Take a look at the airflow setup in your case also see if there's a shitload of dust in the GPU heatsink or something. If nothing helps then a 60C idle will suffice, it's not ideal but it'll do.

I originally bought it for the Pentium G3258.
I need a large number of cute cat pictures for a project. . .
Like maybe 4K-10K. I'm not quite sure how to go about getting these pictures, any help?
Also interested in dogs and birds for the same project.

Oh, and preferably no watermark either.
I might should be asking on /lit/ but a while back I finished reading the metamorphosis of Prime Intellect. I'm curious if you guys know of anymore stories like that. It was pretty damn good.

Write a script that downloads all the pictures from archived /b/caturday threads, go through them yourself and delete the unsuitable ones, and then find a program the finds and deletes duplicates. Or ask /an/.
I just bought a sager np6678 with a SSD and HDD hard drives. I'm unable to play games through steam; when I try to the screen goes black and I have to hard shut down. Any potential solutions?
>>45658739
Really stupid question
My HDD is not showing up alongside my SSD in the BIOS boot order. What do?
I did a bunch of tinkering over the past few months attempting to solve a few problems and said fuck it. Bought new hard drives and they end up having the same problem I've been trying to fix.
Updated BIOS did nothing.
How can I symlink the Documents folder from my SSD to an HDD?
