In a bash script when you have two variables $a and $b where both are strings. Can you put them together like
$a+$b to get ONE string?
Can you add it to for example a web adress like:
http://www.page.com/$a/$b
?
Where do I learn more about this?

Uhm, honestly I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but for example if you wanted to take user input for $a and $b, ie 11 and 22 after you grab input you can write c=$"$a $b" and $C will expand to become those two variablesread -p "what is a? " a
read -p "what is b? " b
apc=$"$a $b"
echo 1>&2 "$c"

How does this happen?
>>51912695
Do all devices lose connectivity to router at the same time? or just one? How many devices connected to router? just wireless?
So you're saying while not connected to your router you can still ping your printer? is it connected over wifi?

>>51912784
It's a Microsoft WMO 1.1a I think. Aren't they hyped up to be quite an accurate mouse?
>>51912746
No. Both the PC and the printer are connected through patch cables but the PC uses a powerline adapter due to there being 2 floors between the router and PC.
For some reason, the powerline adapters would occasionally not work and the PC loses connection to the internet and whatnot.
When I try to remotely connect to the router's address or ping it it won't work.
Despite all this, I can still ping to the network printer that is connected through the exact same router. The router I can't ping to.
>>51912802
Not him but they were pretty decent for the price for the time. You could do a whole lot worse for a backup mouse but they're not exactly made to impress. Microsoft has a whole line of completely acceptable peripherals that totally lack any wow factor.

>>51912857
>but I wonder how it compares to my Mionix 7000
Probably not very favourably. Microsoft have defined the minimum of what a mouse should be but nothing more. It's totally standard, no frills. It was launched at a time when standard no frills was hailed as the way forward and a lot of people have good memories from that time.
I keep Microsoft mouse and a Microsoft life keyboard around as backups in case my normal ones kick the bucket, they're pretty decent but have been surpassed by better things.

>>51913234
Depends on the motherboard and how you're using the RAM. If you have two sticks in dual channel mode your CPU can talk to both of them at the same time, meaning it can access twice the amount of memory in a given time frame. This isn't really a problem for most applications but some programmes really like fast memory access.

I have Asus ROG G751, i7 and 16 gigs of memory (don't flame, I need a laptop because of my life situation) - everything was fine but the November Windows 10 update made my hard disk to read and write constantly.
I/O is always at 1-5% and I hear the hard disk running - but on stable OS there shouldn't be ANY extra reads or writes when running almost idle. I use Spybot Anti-Beacon to block spy features and use my own hosts file to block ad/malware servers as well.

I'm assuming my hard drive is dead? I checked the sata and power connections and they're fine.

assuming both configs are setup for dual channel, there should be basically no difference.

not necessarily. if you have two different models they will both run at the speed of the slowest. if they have different timings you may encounter stability issues. if at all possible, try to get a matching set.

Ever since I got my first cheap "gaming" PC (i5 4460, 280x) I have been wondering something about some titles. A question I had that does not just relate to performance on PCs but consoles as well as of late.
I know some people are happier with higher framerates and all, but when your game fluctuates between 30 and 60fps depending on where you look at with mediocre hardware, doesn't it seem more logical to try to put some optional framerate cap in there?
In my case the only way to play some current games without having framerates go real crazy is to either lower the quality settings so it stays above 60fps on demanding places and activate vsync or basically go fuck myself. Hell I'd play quite a few titles at even 30fps if these were stable. The minimum FPS cap on Catalyst is 55 and the crimson driver profiles aren't doing jack shit for me.
Now for the question: Is there anything else I can do to cap that framerate, and if there's another way, would it work with vsync enabled?
>>51915696
>>Can I remove one RAM module and still keep dual-channel with 3 sticks?
>no. each channel has to have the same amount of RAM for it to run dual channel.
>>Will there be any noticeable difference in speed or efficiency besides the memory difference?
>no. RAM is never the bottleneck these days.
I thought i read somewhere that some motherboards can recognize the dual channel with two modules, and if there is a third it will one the single module in single channel.
>>51915740
i have a 3570k and a GTX 760 2GB, rarely dip below 60FPS in my games, and thats fine by me because i only have a 60Hz monitor

>>51915740
>your game fluctuates between 30 and 60fps depending on where you look at with mediocre hardware
VSYNC, turn it off.
>doesn't it seem more logical to try to put some optional framerate cap in there?
not really. it can still be smooth and playable down to 30 fps. having the fps fluctuate wont do anything unless the user can actually notice the difference in smoothness (depends on the game also).
>Now for the question: Is there anything else I can do to cap that framerate, and if there's another way, would it work with vsync enabled?
some games let you set a cap through a console command.
vsync doesnt cap FPS per say, it just locks the fps and refresh rate, and if the fps dips below your refreshrate, you can get severe FPS drops aswell as it is practially cutting your FPS in half. triple buffering help prevent this to a small degree.
also vsync is just to prevent screen tearing.
>>51915854
or you could just tell the shitposts to ask in here then ignore their thread. there is no need to bump this.
How do software patents work across borders?
I live in Europe and I'd like to use Carmack's Reverse in a game I'm developing and open-sourcing. Thankfully we don't have that bullshit over here yet, but could I still get in fucked by the US patent system when I'm based in the UK?
>>51915820
Yeah I can achieve 60fps on anything as well if I lower the settings like usual. I just think that given the opportunity to play something at a consistent lower framerate with better graphics, I definitely would, unless it's some first person shooter.

One of my mates bought a new monitor and he can lend me his old one, a 120hz LCD monitor that is showing its age, doesn't have the best picture quality (vx2268wm is the model). I'm thinking of giving up on my ultrawide monitor for games in favor of that one.

Why are circuit boards either brown, red or most likely green? Why aren't they some fancy color or a gradient or something?
>>51916009
What'd you do to make it not show this option
>>51916029
The green is the solder mask. Once the circuit itself has been printed, a mask is applied (kind of like liquid tipex) over the top to prevent solder from bridging connections where it shouldn't. It's green, blue or brown because that's the cheapest to buy.

sup /g/,
my dorm finally got internet from the university i'm at.
However the gateway our dorm uses does shitty traffic shaping making it unusable for anything other than basic web browsing. (this works pretty well and fast though)
I tried tunneling to my server, however UDP connection are being filtered (packets go out, but not in, as it seems (nmap just says the ports are filtered. all of them.)
and TCP just gets traffic shaped to all hell again, so when i run my tunnel through TCP, it's the same shit.
Is there anything i can do? or am i permanantly fucked? Also, how does the web traffic get through so fast?
Streaming video like youtube works at 1080p flawlessly, web page loading is fast as shit too. HTTP downloads are slow as shit again. are they doing deep packet inspection?
>>51915910
I'm not a lawyer and I'm not going to pretend to be, so seek real legal advice if this is actually something that might be a real issue.
As far as I know both the UK and EU don't recognize software patents so they won't enforce software patents granted in the US.
There's one caveat: You can't release your game in the US. If you do the UK will enforce any laws you break over there including patent laws. That's not a patent law in itself, just general international law that would also apply to someone who murdered a person in the US and hopped on a plane to Europe.
>>51916400
I imagine they apply traffic shaping on some ports and not others. If you can tunnel traffic through port 80 (or, perhaps, whatever port your university uses for internal email) you might get workable speeds.
>>51916400
also, the only thing i want is to be able to get things from my server fast, so i might be able to get the speeds up by using lots of connections, since it seems to limit per connection. What protocol can do this effortlessly though? FTP with 200 separate connections seems pointless and inefficient.
>>51916498
yeah, was a good (even though also mad) idea; tried it, same problem: max speed through the tunnel is the max speed i get from one tcp connection without the tunnel. same on port 443; youtube seems to use peer to peer of sorts, so that might be the reason it worked so well...
>>51916498
my question now would be this then: is there a protocol that utilizes multiple connections for a single transfer? might actually look into writing one myself if there isn't... it'd be just some I/O operations

>>51916722

If enabled, then yes. If you want to disable it, you have to go into the BIOS.

And is there any way, if your cooling can handle it, to manually set the cpu to turbo boost? Like overclocking, but only within the maximum allowed by turbo boost?

>>51916864
>it would be nice to be able to disable a couple cores and make the other two run faster
I doubt you'll see any benefit to doing that. There is no real headroom gained from turning off multiple cores, and I think Haswell actually prevents you from activating Turbo if it detects at least one core being disabled.

I want to build a mini home server, but I'm stumped about whether to use an i3 with a Q150/170 chipset and ECC RAM, or an older Xeon and an LGA1150 server board with ECC RAM.

if you dont care about cramps and aching pain, you can use a shitty wooden log if you want.
and yes dxracers are expensive, but so are proper ergonomic office chairs (which are even more expensive than dxracers).
if you dont want pain, you have to spend a little more than $25. if you can try getting something that's around $75-100

>why do you need ECC RAM?
The server will be on 24/7 and be used by multiple computers and tablets in my household. I figured that ECC RAM is a given due to how many times files will be accessed from the server at any given time. We're looking to get rid of the last two bulky desktops we have in the house that are acting as mini servers for movies and shows and have already experienced file deterioration on at least two videos. We'd like to mitigate the risk of losing files.
I'm probably going to get a Lian Li micro ATX case with 10+ HDD bays to go along with it.

afaik ECC would only be useful to prevent issues when you stream, transfer or edit files on the server.

RAID + separate backup location.
can someone explain why one side of my ear buds always goes out? Without fail, the right ear bud will always become more quiet and then stop working all-together after usage. Is there a technical reason behind this, or am I just abusive to my ear buds?
>>51917662
>Is it because one card can't use the other card's memory or some shit?
Yes.
When you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Each GPU has to render half the screen. Imagine if you had a mesh that filled the screen with a texture, and the texture was only stored on one GPU. The left side of the screen is drawn almost instantly, but the right side of the screen takes almost a millisecond because it has to fetch the entire thing from the other GPU. Now imagine this with thousands of different textures. You'd have a situation where some objects get drawn really quickly, while others get drawn slower than a software renderer, all based on which part of the screen it projects to.
>>51917980
Are you right-handed?
You probably subconsciously fiddle with the right side of the earbud. I know because I do the same on the left.
>>51917975
but you already own the modem...

>sounds more like HDD issue
We checked all the HDD's for bad sectors and they all came out clean. Playback on those files are still fucked, even if we play them on the host computers.
>RAID + separate backup location
So I should probably invest in a backup server? Would a server running a RAID5 array not be enough?
What about RAID10?
We have about 12 3-4TB HDDs in the house, so we might be able to split them into different arrays or different servers.

>>51918043
it can make a difference sometimes, but not for the average user. mostly has to do with features and settings (customization).
>>51918063
RAID is not backup. If a file is corrupted, it would be copied across the RAID array and you would still have a corrup file.
RAID is for preventing data loss if a whole drive fails so you can just plug in a new one.
I suppose ECC would make sense in your case.
and yes, a separate backup server is the only option if you want to make absolutely sure you do not lose data.
>>51918093

But this hasn't helped me at all or I'm not disabling the sharing properly. I'm just doing -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=FALSE but i've also tried it as OFF, and NO. I'm not really sure how to use CMake properly.
I went to the CMake documentation but it just says

>If present and true, this will cause all libraries to be built shared unless the library was explicitly added as a static library. This variable is often added to projects as an OPTION so that each user of a project can decide if they want to build the project using shared or static libraries.

I've been given a laptop that appears to be fucked and I've got permission for me and one of my friends (an electrical engineer) to scavenge it for parts. Out of curtsey I'd like to wipe the hard drive before any of my friends get to it, how would I do that?
For anyone interested, it turns on for a few seconds and only stays on if you plug it in, the lights will turn on to indicate that the hard drive is working and the fan will work, but the screen appears to not work and no part of the keyboard lights up, plugging the laptop into a TV via a HTMI lead does nothing.
So in short, I either want to fix it or I suppose I want to bootnuke it without any evidence that the keyboard works. I do not own an external keyboard.
Also... are there any parts I should be looking out for while scavenging?

Whenever I am browsing the internet the router stops responding to requests (including login page requests via 192.168.1.1 for 5-10 seconds) this happens repeatedly. If I open new firefox tabs it's not uncommon to have to wait for this turd to start responding again.
ping -t www.google.com show frequent periods of "Request timed out".
ping -t 192.168.1.1 never shows any interruption
