The difference is largely aesthetic. Either get your balls disabled, or removed.
>>52454752
I think a vasectomy is reversible while a castration probably is not.

Why the fuck would you castrate yourself? The testes produce testosterone that you need from not turning into a sissy

>>52454942
A lot cheaper. My doc said all they have to do is send me home with a rubber band around them and wait a few days, hardly costs anything. Vasectomy can run me $1000+

My friend, who's into programming, told me about that idea for a website he had recently, and that he will start to work on it once he's finished with his uni work (he's very overwhelmed atm)
I really loved his idea, and as his project involved some complex stuff, I worked on it for the past few weeks because i was bored and wanted to learn new stuff.
The problem is, I got very involved into the project by myself, without telling him, that I completed it, and am very proud of what I've made. it's the first project that I work on from scratch, and I really like it.
My friend hasn't really started working on it yet.
As it's my first real project, I'd like to use it on my portfolio, especially considering that I'll try to intend a school somewhat related to webdev next year.
tl;dr, stole an idea to a very good friend of mine, how to cope with that?

chargers provide nothing but the positive and negative power leads, so there's no recognition to occur. there's either power or not. if you have a multimeter you can measure the voltage across the outside and inside of the barrel connector to at least see if your power brick works at all, but you probably don't have one.
most likely it's your laptop though because those charger bricks are pretty simple circuits and are reliable in normal usage even when they're made cheap as shit so it's not likely to be the problem.

I'm looking for an upgrade to my Asus T100. Can someone recommend me the best lightweight, under 13" hybrid Laptop/Tablet for around £500? Really I just want something with a touchscreen.
I'm leaning towards the Lenovo Yoga 700 because it's fanless and shit and won't warm up my lap whilst I'm using it but just wondering if the performance might be a bit shit as a result. I could live with it if it's not too bad, it uses a Core M3-6y30 processor. Not really a fan of the Surface and after something that can handle the occasional more intensive task
Question. I'm attempting an arch install and there's no EFI folder in boot when there should be.
I need a newer operating system for school and work. W7 just doesn't cut it anymore, sadly.
I tried W10 for the past 2 days and it's quite unstable for the shit I use it for. It wouldn't even pin things to the start menu and it's annoying to try to disable all the telemetry stuff.
I never used 8.1 so I'm looking for some opinions on it. Could I have a more stable and reliable experience if I stick with 8.1 + some customizations like classic shell?
What stuff would you guys recommend?
Basically, for now, is 8.1 better than W10?
>>52454752
Don't know of the differences between a castration and a vasectomy, but I read that a castration results in your body becoming weaker and shit, and your bones being more susceptible to breaking.

no, 10 is better. try to do a fresh installation instead of an upgrade, maybe this resolves the issues you have.

8.1 is pretty shit, and it won't allow you to alt-tab at times out of unresponsive programs, and it calls indexing every time you make a search and tries to probe for apps too before returning results. I'm not sure about W10, I'm sure it's just as bad but now it can spy on you whilst dwm.exe ignores resizing events. Rather use Ubuntu and take Canonical up the ass than Microsoft, tbqh familie.
>>52456835
You're supposed to make one, is it mounted? You need a /boot/efi partition formatted with mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sd**, and set it to ESP/boot partition with flags in gdisk/parted. Then, you take a bootloader image (i.e. GRUB2, rEFInd, ELILO) and stick it in a folder named EFI. Then copy your kernel image and initramfs into the partition.

I'd love to use it for work, and I already use Debian on my tower. But both school and work pretty much require me to use either 10 or 8.

Also, are there any guides for fixing up 8 and removing telemetry?
I'd rather try to stick with 8 as much as I can and not have to install 10 a third fucking time
I've been given a nearly impossible task.
My mother in law wants a new laptop, except it can't be a big laptop- needs to be larger than 10 inches, smaller than 14- ideally, she wants a twelve. Next, it has to be light- anything that weighs over 2kg is too heavy apparently.
All she'd use it for is typing, emails, browsing the internet and watching the tele online. My first thought was a tablet, but she's determined to have a keyboard and windows for word etc, which I guess with a tablet is still doable but I'm not sure what to look for.
However, she only has a budget of around £200, in which case I'm now looking for second hand. Any ideas? She's looking at a Lenovo Yoga - but the model shes looking at only has 2g and didn't look like it could even handle web browsing on the advert (took 4 seconds just to tab).
Any ideas?

Program calls are loaded into memory for the most part, obviously, disk transfers are pretty expensive on computers whereas RAM is far faster. However, removing assets a program takes off of a disk or a routine that hasn't yet been called into memory can fail.

np, i thought it was a little weird how the zte axon could be higher priced than the p8, but jewroop :(. huawei has pretty good band support (esp for LTE), but only select models have them so you need to be rather careful about buying the right model. 1+1 2 is okay, though I've heard some poor things about them, are they around your price range there too?

First check in parted/gdisk that you have a gpt labelled drive with one of the partitions running FAT32. In gdisk you can select esp fs+flag through a hex code but in parted you can simply "set * esp on" and "set * boot on", targeting your partition ofc.

In another terminal, you need to make sure you're booted into a UEFI disk, e.g., a UEFI capable 64-bit iso- "modprobe efivars" to make sure you're able to access efi variables through sysfs. Then chroot in and reinstall and reconfigure grub.

How comes linux can mount and edit img files natively while windows is just so shit? I found a program that can mount img files on windows but, as soon as the file is mounted windows wants to FORMAT it what the hell. Is there no way at all? IsoBuster lets me open and see the content but there's no feature to edit any files inside an img archive. Rescue me /g/...

Are you booted into a UEFI medium? e.g. during boot menu selection it states UEFI: PNY 8.0GB ... Some LiveCDs do not have UEFI modules+firmware.
Try "mount -t efivarfs efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars" outside of chroot.
>>52458578
Yes I tried through command line because when I click the file it doesn't show the usual option, it says the file is unknown or corrupt image, probably because wincdemu doesn't support raw img/dd files.

How big would be the difference if instead OS in HDD i had both in a SSD?
How much does it affect loading?
>>52458394
you probably mount something with a filesystem that is not supported by windows.
it can only read FAT, NTFS, exFAT, Live File System and ReFS.
that's why it suggests to format it because it's unreadable.
any iso file should be natively mountable by windows 8 or newer.
you could try 7z.

Can't even find OnePlus One 2, maybe because it's relatively new. Guess I have to look in other countries. But again, no card slot. Also, isn't Snapdragon 810 considered bad because of heat?
>>52458718
Depends on the size of the program desu senpai
>>52458718
this depends way too much on the program.
if the program has a lot of shared libraries/resources that it loads from the HDD then it would probably be faster to put it on the SSD.
if it uses only native libraries then it would be probably better to have the OS on the SSD instead.
I'd rather have a snappy OS though than 1 second off a load time of something I launch once.
I'm using a laptop and my arrow keys are dead
I want to map my numpad 5 key to the down arrow key but only when numlock is off
I foundxmodmap -e "keycode 84 = KP_Down"

Is there a better way to solve this than a script that monitors the numlock state 24/7?

Very odd. Install efibootmgr and see if you can list entries. This is assuming you are actually booted into UEFI mode for both BIOS and your medium. BIOS explicitly states that you are booting into a UEFI medium and UEFI is enabled in BIOS?

With a vasectomy they cut the tubes that bring sperm to your ejaculate. So you'll be literally shooting planks as no more sperm cells will be present. Other than the desired sterilization it has very little effect.
Removing the balls has major consequences, among others: hard to get an erection, no more orgasms, lesser testosterone will probably alter your body (muscle, breasts) and many more.
if i get like 3 laptops is there a way to connect them together to create a cluster/super computer?
>>52454823
That is not true in the slightest. With a vasectomy your balls are still functional, but they cut the tube that carries sperm cells to your penis. All other functions of the balls remain intact.

the reason why i'm trying to install arch is because i found a good guide on how to do gpu passthrough and play games on a vm. Arch is really funky, you wouldn't be able to help with this goal of mine on debian? that would essentially bypass the whole pain of installing arch.

You should be able to upgrade to any processor using the same socket. Some chipset features, however, may not work after the upgrade. I wouldn't really recommend upgrading as the processors are insanely expensive, the i7 3740QM is 100 bucks more expensive than the desktop counterpart for less than half the performance. i5 3350u is about 240.
>>52459111
Yeah, VGA passthrough works so as long as you have QEMU and a VGA card, which only requires KVM. Native UEFI suggests that you may have properly installed GRUB but did not configure it correctly (works on Gentoo too). Try using a LiveUSB instead (it natively can be recognized as UEFI and will modprobe efivars automatically). This goes for both Debian and Arch.

>>52459248
With a windows recovery cd/usb
you can also just use the installation disc
>>52459118
didn't help desu
>>52459239
>>52459239
Have you tried unetbootin or pendrivelinux? Also the point I was trying to get across is that VGA passthrough will also work in Ubuntu. Simply need to enable KVM. Try and get a bootable system up first.
>>52459014
It's been 20 minutes
did you died?
>>52459294
my laptop came with the OS pre-installed and they didn't give me a CD/usb recovery
>>52459349
read the manual, preinstalled they usually have some sort of recovery partition you can get into by pressing some weird key combinations at boot.
>>52459349
What windows version?
Just torrent some ISO or if you have another computer running the same windows you can use that to make the recovery usb
>>52459304
>install gnu/linux
>cd ~/
>>52459341
I used pendrivelinux when i originally tried. as it didn't work i went through the trouble of connecting the cd player to the computer and burn a cd.
So I'm creating this program for fun that generates random images using a base64 encoded string. Only problem is I can't get the image to be seen as valid once I generate the representation of the pixels as a string. Is there some kind of file header or something that goes into it that I'm missing?
>>52458911
>>52459014 (cont.)
I installed and registered ExtFS, it's running in background like a driver but when I mounted the file again, using OSFMount, windows asked again to format it, looks like this Paragon ExtFS doesn't work at all.
>>52459349
you can probably use your grub to boot the windows recovery partition
if you're too lazy to set it up just get supergrub2disk
>>52459389
what are you trying to accomplish anyway?
if you can read the data, store them in some way your OS can read?

I have a friend with the typical realtek sound driver who whenever trying to use skype the sound from his computer (games, etc) is all that's really audible, and his voice can barely be heard. He's tried a million things and nothings worked.
He uses a headset microphone (2 aux), and he's running windows 10 aswell.
>>52459386
> Is there some kind of file header or something that goes into it that I'm missing?
Considering it slippped your mind to even mention the format you're using, probably.
>>52459447
He needs to check his mixer and change the mic to have priority and changes its volume
>>52459457
Well there isn't a format yet because I've just create a representation of the pixels (each being 8 characters of hex). Ideally I'd like to put it out at a png format but I'm not sure how to form the header or how it needs to be structured outside of the pixel layout.
>>52458897
holy shit it works, they patched it!
>>52459417
I need to add files in an USB live disc, apparently I managed to do it now with that other program, I'll try to boot and see if the file is working correctly.
>>52459466
Well he's messed with the mixer and the rest and lowering/increasing doesn't allow us to really hear him any better, and his computer sounds and background take priority.
Also what do you mean by change the mic to have priority?
>>52459523
This is an obvious case in which you would use a library unless you had actually set out with intention of reimplementing PNG itself and the accompanying compression algorithms, which seems to be slightly outside the apparent scope of your program.
