I've got one of those JXD tablets with the controller built in. Volume button isn't working right on it. It's pushed in too far, not "clicking" when pressed on, and can't be used to adjust the volume. I don't suppose anyone has any experience with fixing these? I could probably find a video on pulling them apart but I don't think I have the tools. There are some tiny-ass screws in there and I'd probably just break it worse.

I am given a binary tree such that

/ \ / \

Develop a concise function to describe the depth of node n:

I already recognize that it grows by a factor of 2. any other hints?

2^0 = node 1
2^1 = node 2-3
2^2 = node 4-7
2^3 = node 8-15

the exponent value is what i obviously want as my depth of node n

also does path direction matter?
i.e.
1-3-6 the same as 6-3-1?

I dont keep track of all that stuff. As long as you use some kind of adblocker you're good.

You could probably use Disconnect instead of NoScript.

NoScript is a bit overkill and is used to disable all scripts on websites to reduce chances of getting infected by malicious code and to disable resource intensive stuff.

The other's i havent used so i cant really say, but they sound useful to stop tracking.

Is there a way to run graphics-intensive software without a graphics card?

I tried (unsucessfully) re-flowing my laptop mobo to fix a GPU failure and I can't install and drivers to use the APU because it randomly switches to the GPU when you install it and that makes the machine BSOD.

I tried using 3DAnalyze to play Morrowind but it didn't work.

Does the LED on the mobo turn on?
Does the fans spin?
Disconnect everything except 1 ram stick. and the power cables for the motherboard and graphics card.
Take out the graphics card and put it back in (reseat).
Try the other pci-e slot if you have more than one.
Try a different graphics card if you have one.

>>51710836
You need a special speaker like picture the plugs directly to the inside of the case on the motherboard, not the 3.5mm output on the back of the case.

Yes, LED on mobo turns on and all fans spin.

I've tried that but only left two ram sticks, I will try it with one now. and ok, yes I thought it was the 3.5mm on the back.

usually if the psu cant handle the draw it makes a horrifying beeping noise, you'd know it. I dont know what your problem is, but every computer iv ever build has had a post beep of 1.

With my pc parts purchase I got a shit tonne of free fans, got 2 pre installed fans in my case: 1 white white led 120mm and a black 120mm the white in the front and the black in the back and then the case came with a black red led 120mm
and some other parts I bought came with 2 2 packs of the same black red led fan (total of 5 red led fans). My case has two front fan mounts and top mounts and one rear and bottom fan mount. I plan on hooking my watercooling radiator onto the top mounts, but should I put the fans in the rest of my mounts? TLDR; fans to make her dance, should I use 4 fans at once?

Good to hear you got it working. You should just have to hit the corresponding buttons on the controller, not the keyboard. They'll stay that way through whatever game you're playing

So I was thinking of buying a media player for my parents so it could run XBMC in their living room. I would also want to move their films from their PC to run on XBMC. Since I obviously need quite a bit of external storage and the media player will probably come with a SATA/eSATA port for HDDs, it would be a great opportunity to take some old hard drives I had, and put them in an enclosure to run along side the media player. My stupid question is does it matter what file system the HDDs are currently using? (NTFS btw). If so, what file system type should I reformat it to?

Are you sure? The initial font bitmap doesn't have antialiasing (it's just the white pixels you can see on the screen), the half-transparent pixels appear when I add a stroke (I set stroke to 1px, it adds the black outline, then it adds another level of outline with half-transparent pixels, but I'm pretty sure the stroke option doesn't have any setting related to anti-aliasing).

AMD's cards are better at pretty much every price point but the high end, their comparable cards give a bit more performance at the same price, have better DX12 support, and free-sync will save you upwards of 100 dollars vs G-sync

Please fucking help me. I'm trying to install Windows 10 on my PC, which currently has Linux. I downloaded the iso from their site and made a boot device with my thumb drive. The Windows installer launches. I can pick either Custom install or the other one, i forget which. Custom tells me I can't install on either drive for some reason, something to do with formatting. The other option tells me that I started it with windows media, and to remove it and then restart the computer. If I do that, it just boots to Linux.

If you want Windows 10, you're going to need to format that drive.
There's no risk, just delete your one partition using the Windows installer and install on the now partitionless drive, the installer will then partition and format it automagically.

You should back up anything you don't want to lose first, though.

>>51713894
>You're CERTAIN that if I delete all my partitions, I can install on the partition less drive?
Yes.
Windows will not install on an ext4 formatted drive. Or anything that isn't NTFS, for that matter.
Windows will, however, happily install on an unformatted, partitionless drive, here it'll just automatically partition and format the drive to NTFS. You can also do this yourself in the installer, but it's somewhat pointless as you can just shrink the system partition later on.

>If I delete all my partitions and nothing happens, haven't I bricked my computer?
No, then you just have an empty HDD/SSD. If Windows won't install even after you've removed your Linux partition, something's wrong with your USB drive and you just need to use another computer to make a new one. But given that you can boot on your USB drive, this is highly unlikely and there's a 99% chance that Windows will install just fine from it.

Hi,

I'm the 'IT guy=kek' with a slow booting work computer from yesterday. I tried defragging, chkdsk, removing startup items/services, nothing helps. Some program Toolwiz Care is determining the boot time to be around 2 minutes, which is still kinda long.

Any tips on improving this shit ?

Now, I keep the previous reading in an array (only the last reading is kept, other ones are removed). However, when I print their data, the history of the other sensor is printed.
