Gonna give Linux a try and decided to go for Linux Mint. However, I notice that there are several different ones (Cinnamon, MATE, kde, xfce). Could someone give a short summary on how they are different? What benefits and disadvantages do they have against each other?
Having trouble finding a job in CS. I have a degree, impressive side projects, aesthetically pleasing website and resume filled with buzzwords, but no work experience. Is it okay to lie about experience?

Are there any other x86 phones like the zenfone 2 or better? I really like how long the battery lasts on it.
i'm buying a windows 10 tablet for web browsing and watching videos. the standard model has 32gb rom and 2gb ram. for $100 more, the same model has 64gb rom and 4gb ram. is the price hike justifiable? windows uses 500mb of ram - i can't imagine 1.5gb free ram is fun to use.

>>53525084
What would be the point of more rom?
I'm looking for a notation-only chess computer, and I'm not sure what to call it or how to search for one. The chess computers I'm used to playing all involve moving pieces with a click-and-drag interface.
What I want to do is type in the notation (descriptive or algebraic--either is fine) and receive the computer's reply, also in notation. I would not like to see any board or pieces for the duration of the game.
For example, if I am white, I would like to type in
1. e4 or PK4
and then hit enter. Then I want the computer to respond with
1. ... e5 or whatever.
So I guess I have three questions:
(1) Does such a chess computer exist?
(2) If yes, what is it called?
(3) Where can I get this?
(3a) Is there an Android app?

This post most likely belongs on oh but since I don't like that board or go there I thought I'd ask you since I frequent here I installed a car auxiliary input to my dashboard it passes through the CD player so the CD player is no longer in use but the output from my phone is very low in very quiet and has a lot of static how do I fix this
![20160316_152644[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/ab7w4wO.jpg "20160316_152644[1].jpg")
I posted in /wsr/ and nobody seemed able to help me so :
I'm in quite the pickle, as you can see. I just bought a new PSu, GPU and Case and salvaged some parts (namely the MoBo/CPU, HDD and CD player) of my mother's computer desk.
The thing is, her computer was a Dell and I don't think it was quite meant to be taken apart. I put the PSu in the old build, as I got it a week before the case and GPU, and everything worked fine. Now, I took everything apart and transfered it into the new case and I have three problems :
1.I can't boot the PC with the new case's button as I don't know which pins on my F_Panel I need to put the Power SW in. I tried googling for a diagram and it didn't help. Also tested with a screwdriver, to no avail.
I can get it to booth if I take the old case's power button and plug it in the F_Panel, which is a temporary fix, but it'll have to do for now.
2. When I am able to boot up the PC, my screen is all black. Now, I've tried with the old GPU, with the new GPU, with the on-board GPU, with another screen, and my screen is still black.
My friend told me to try and boot it outside of a case, which I did (and which is what you can see), and nothing changed.
3. I can't run a compatibility check because, since the MoBo is a custom-made by Dell, no website with a compatibility checker has it in its database
Thank you for your help

Prefacing by saying I'm just guessing, I don't know shit about car audio.
Either your auxiliary isn't installed properly/fully, or it's not amplifying the signal well.
Phones don't put out much audio power, whereas your CD player may have been putting out very strong amplified sound.
Check all the cables and such, and if the auxiliary you installed is just a poor amplifier you can find a way to amplify better. Easiest but not pretty would he to plug your phone into a headphone amp, then plug that into your AUX. such as a Fiio e6, which is 25$ and #1 headphone amp on Amazon.

There's no hardcoded limit. It'll eat up all available RAM and then go after your HDD/SDD (pagefile).
>and after passing this limit it starts working badly?
It always works badly.
>>53525800
They want the m.2 slot to have 4 PCIe lanes, so PCIe x4

>>53526098
Thanks, but what does "$" means?
>>53526227
End of the string.
^ would match at the beginning.
>>53526052
i++ is called the postfix. ++i is called the prefix.
prefix increments the value, and then proceeds with the expression. postfix evaluates the expression and then performs the incrementing.
x = 5;
y = ++x;
//x is 6, y is 6
x = 5;
y = x++;
//x is 6, y is 5

Planning to buy an i5-6500 and an MSI entry level motherboard and some ram basically. My old power supply units are 300W and 350W. I'll be getting a case and a power supply (500W) for $56 but I'd rather reuse. I can reuse the old ones just fine but I might add a 950 in a month or two and that's some 70-110W under load... might not cut it. Then again the CPU is about 65W (max), ssd is 7W (max)....etc
Anyway I'm wondering... is there a way to sort of use two power supplies at once??? Like connect them together somehow through an adapter or just plug them both in the motherboard if it supports such a thing? Haven't heard of this but I'm wondering if it's possible is all.

Every time I try to install the cumulative Windows 10 updates released on March 1st, when my machine reboots I get stuck on a blue screen with a spinning circle before I can even make it to the sign in screen. The problem is described here:

>http://news.softpedia.com/news/how-to-fix-issues-caused-by-windows-10-cumulative-update-kb3140743-501298.shtml
But since the newer updates released on March 8th I really don't know which ones are causing the problem anymore. And yes, the problem still persists trying to install the newest updates too. I'm able to system restore at least, but if I'm unable to install updates it is very problematic. I can't shut down or restart without Windows trying to install those updates again, forcing me to system restore every time I want to turn off my pc. Please, I would really appreciate some help.

>>53525084
Depends how heavy you browse. I used an Asus T100 which was 32GB and 2GB and it handled an impressive amount really. Did some light video encoding, had a few tabs open and ran some PAINT.Net.
Too many tabs at once will give you issues though, it'll handle 10 or so fine but I did have times where I was sort of forced to close a few things. Honestly a lot of the time it was just shit I had open for days thinking "I'll get back to it"

You can loose all your favorites. I lost mine in one Nightly update. If it's not full-released, it's only for tests, not for normal use. If you are not a developer, don't use the developer edition.

I would like to use .Flac and .mp3 files on my Android device. What's the best program to use for those music file types?
>>53526877
Winamp of course. Wireless sync with your desktop, gapless playback, great screen-estate for album art, acceptable lock-screen controls.
Only drawback is that functions like lyrics, equalizer etc. don't work. No need imo. I like love as it is. Shoutcast works which is awesome if you're bored of music/radio. Also top played/newly added playlist which is might useful.
Not on the google store.

Its its something simple like a bad capacitor you could fix it yourself.
>>53527143
>hit or miss
How is that?

They may not even be able to fix it and you'd still have to pay for the diagnosis.

I'm sure there are some chess games where you can enter your move via text. Cover the visual output is neccessary.
It should not be to hard to code a program for the input and output handling. You could pass the moves then to a proper chess enigine module or whatever and exchange the Ai's move back to your interface.

motherboards are crazy complex and hard to diagnose/repair devices. Specialist required. This would cost you a fuckton of cash if possible at all.
Not so much a "stupid question" but definitely something I wondered:
Is there a benefit to entering the wrong information and telling Chrome to keep the autofill data? I'd suspect that most novice botnets and general shitty things that try to use your autofil against you might overlook the possibility that your autofill might be wrong, and would keep trying the same password instead of brute-forcing it.
>>53527826
Why trying to trick autofill when you could use a browser where you can turn this off completely. Use a sandboxed/virtual browser instance if you are this paranoid.
>>53527143
>Its its something simple like a bad capacitor you could fix it yourself.
I already replaced bad capacitors. The motherboard now acts better. But still, have too many problems to be used. Needs an expert.
>>53527778
As part of what degree? Which Uni?
>>53527825
The man I want to lead my motherboard to is a specialist. I need to pay US$17.5 to know how will the fixing cost.
>>53527875
I'm not well-versed in shit like that, I was told Firefox is better than Chrome but I tried it and it would crash with two tabs open so I switched back.
Also I was asking about if tricking autofill had an added benefit above just opting out of autofill, I never use autofill anyway since I know it's good to just not use it at all.

Cyber security modules are largely worthless when done as part of a degree, they're mostly just taster courses. You really need specialized certification or a masters in it (or relevant military/police experience) if you intend to go down that route and actually land a job. Those certs will teach you everything that was on the cyber security module anyway. So you may as well go with the OOSD course and learn the other part later.
The OOSD course is likely to have components that you can apply elsewhere which make it a more appealing choice right from the start. As a plus it would strengthen your knowledge and application of Java. That said, this is probably the harder, more boring of the two and won't get you any boasting rights like cyber security would.
You should try and arrange a face to face with the professors teaching the courses so you can get a proper overview of whats taught in those classes. That way you can make a more informed decision (because i could be full of shit) . You could also see about getting some sample material/books from the courses to learn from over the summer to see which you'd like to continue with.

My grandfather purchased a SSD and did a fresh installation of Windows. Then he copied a few media files and documents over from the previous hard drive. All was running smooth. Then, he decides to plug the previous drive into a 2nd SATA port and we start having reoccuring issue where if the computer is rebooted, the system stalls at a black screen for 3-5 minutes before the power cycles and you see the bios screen again. When I unplug the drive, the problem stops. My problem is, he wants both drives in the computer and doesn't want to format the 2nd drive. What the hell can I do aside from formatting the drive to get the computer to reboot as SSD speed instead of tard-ass corrupt system drive?

I have a Xonar DG audio card (need it because my headset uses optical and there is none on my computer). The problem I am having is that I cannot get a "Digital Output" option as my playback device.

It used to be "Digital Output," and I finally noticed it had changed to "S/PDIF Pass-through Device" when some features on my headset were not functioning. I have SPDIF Out checked on the ASUS audio center thing, and it is set to PCM (that's the only setting). I don't know how to get it back to "Digital Output."

When you reboot your computer it still follows it's boot-order.
For example:
Take a bootable USB
If your boot order is set to Boot from USB first, if you insert that USB when windows is running and restart the USB will boot.

Maxed out my GPU and now my PC keeps green screening and crashing what do I do to revert the changes. It boots up fine but green screens after a few seconds on the desktop.
Is there any good GUI program for losslessly cropping JPGs? For Windows there are two shit programs.[1] They suck because the users can't disable snapping and the copping frame can only be scaled at 16 pixels. They are inaccurate and shit.

>the users can't disable snapping and the copping frame can only be scaled at 16 pixels.
no shit, they have to be macroblock-aligned otherwise you'd have to generate new ones, which wouldn't be lossless
>>53529566
Unplug your GFX card and then revert the settings. If you can't uninstall the program you used.
>>53529564
It won't boot to the USB until after the bios screen shows up, which won't happen for at least 3-5 minutes because there's a problem with the shutting-down part of the the reboot, not the booting part.
>>53529575
Seriously bloated program for the cause but it works:
>GIMP
>>53529591
Ah yes I hadn't remembered how JPGs compress. Although with imagemagick convert's crop isn't limited to blocks, ex: convert x.jpg -crop 600x400+20+0
>>53529605
Thanks for the explanation.
I'm not sure what the issue could be. My advice in this situation is to copy over the data to the SSD.
Why does he not want to format it if he is going to preserve the data in the first place?
>>53529612
No, when cropping GIMP re-compresses it without using the JPG's imported compression.

I have heard lots of anons with problems like this so im asking about this.
If my motherboard has no USB 2.0 slots but the case does, will i have problems installing windows 7?
>>53529748
What the fuck are you even asking?
>>53529599
unplugged GPU and it worked fine, uninstalled drivers and restarted. Plugged GPU back in and green screen came back up. Is it fucked?
>>53529748
No motherboard has usb slots lol....
It will work so yeah. But only if you install gentoo to /dev/sda3
Is such a thing as SATA data cable splitters without a RAID device? Apparently my motherboard is just shy of one more port, which isn't really necessary but if it's something I could get around, that'd be good.
>>53529748
Do you mean that in regards to installing 7 via a flashdrive as opposed to a disc and USB 3.0/3.1 not functioning for this?
>>53529836
R9 380 btw
>>53529836
What GPU are you using, If i may ask?
There's a chance you roasted the GPU. I was assuming you were using something like MSI afterburner to "max" it out.
>>53529817
If you dont have USB 2.0 ports you cant install windows 7 trough a USB.
I got a old case i could use to install it because both my new case and motherboard only have USB 3.0/3.1.
Will i have problems or it doesn't matter?
>>53529876
Nigga USB3 is backwards compatible. Are you sure you are capable of putting a PC together yourself?
>>53529851
More then likely you fucked it.
Hopefully you have a warranty. The only real way i know to test it is to try it with another computer.
>>53529868
Sapphire R9 380 Nitro, it'd be a shame if I did. Got it 2 weeks ago lol.
>>53529918
Alright, just going to reset the PC, if that doesn't do it, I'll just have to get another one.
>>53529209
Yes. That's what I said.
The version of the driver GeForce Experience downloads is the same I can download on Nvidia's site?
>>53530027
What are you asking? It makes no sense.
>>53530101
I'm asking if the files downloaded and deleted after the installation by GeForce Experience are the same I can download in their site.
Youtube Center is either kill or doesn't work in Nightly.
Anyone got a replacement?
Youtube Center is/was an extension that added a lot of missing functionality from Youtube, including a download button with different formats available, default player resolution, default video resolution, dark like my soul theme among other things.
>>53530027
Yes, but if you use GE to update it might only update needed files depending if the update is from the same branch, if is not it will update all files to avoid any issues, which is why sometimes the GE updates are smaller than the website update, Physx and Audio and 3DTV are independent to the core files and unrelated.
The downloaded version from the website includes everything and saves a copy in C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver
after installed which you can delete or use to reinstall or rollback.
>>53530243
I'm needing to update the driver. This means GE will download everything, right?
Hm, so it doesn't automatically deletes the files? Cool!
What would happen if you're on windows 8 and someone else logs in with your account using another computer?
double avail = storage.Capacity - storage.Used;
// Does at least one fit?
if (avail >= pile.Item.Size) {
// Do not all fit?
if (avail < pile.Item.Size * pile.Count) {
// Reduce count
pile.Count = (int)Math.Floor(avail / pile.Item.Size);
}
storage.Stacks.Add(pile);
storage.Used += pile.Item.Size * pile.Count;
}
Capacity, Used, and Size and avail are double-precision numbers, Count is an integer, Stacks is a generic collection.
Assume the starting values are not obviously invalid: Capacity > 0, Capacity >= Used >= 0, Count > 0, Size > 0.
Is it possible for rounding errors to result in pile.Count being reduced to zero?
Can I use more than 1 PSU in one PC? This could lead to problems?
>>53530448
You could in theory
Not necessarily problems but it would be inconvenient to set up
>>53530448
look up the paper clip trick on google. you basically short 2 pins on one of the connectors to activate power on the lone psu that's not connected to the motherboard.
>>53530481
It's not inconvenient. I need a plug my actual PSU doesn't have, and I don't the work of replacing it for an older and worse unit.
>>53530501
I already know this.
>>53530448
Only if you have either a motherboard designed for this setup (common in server motherboards), or an interface component that connects the two PSUs together safely.
>>53530578
>Only if you have either a motherboard designed for this setup
I'm not planning to plug 2 PSUs in the same motherboard, but on the same PC. This is different!
I have a Thinkpad T500 and wanted to add some addons for Chrome, so what do you guys recommend? I just have adblock right now
Where do I get a Windows 7 ISO? I installed Lubuntu on an old dell for my brother and now he wants win 7 back. I tried going to the website and typing in the key that came with it but it says that since its a dell i need to go through them but that sounds like too much trouble
youtube-dl strips Unicode characters from filenames on Windows
for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDtA8aYjzzM
youtube-dl completely removes the Japanese characters: Destination: -KDtA8aYjzzM.f137.mp4
Is there a workaround for this?

try shoving them up your butthole, if you feel a tingle they're still ok
>>53530781
Nevermind, the filename does contain all of the characters. It's just that youtube-dl doesn't print the filename correctly.
Anyone has idea where i can buy a thinkpad in mexico?
I smell plastic coming from my computer. I looked at it with a flashlight and couldn't see anything obvious. Going to dust it out tomorrow. If that doesn't work, should I just let it smell until a part fails and go from there?
Is there a way to keep MEGA from storing all my shit a second time in app data? It's a pain in the ass to have to clear it constantly.
It doesn't do it when using MEGAsync, but as far as I can tell there isn't a way to download through MEGAsync if you're downloading from a folder directory.
>>53524744
It's just Linux, Faggot.
>>53530448
Be sure to ground them together, the cases and negative 12/5/3.3 lines with each other, better if they are same vendor and model. Will even work if you just do the cases but that's extremely dangerous. I used to have two PSU's for a while, one for computer and 1 GPU and the other for 3 other GPU's while running four-way CF.
So if i have a legit version of windows 7 working on one thinkpad, can i create a bootable image of it and then run it in a vm(going to try kvm and qemu) on gentoo on another thinkpad? Or do i need a special vm-ified version of windows 7?
7 or 10?
>>53531406
7 doesn't spy on you.
>>53531406
>neither
But yeah i think 7 is supposedly less botnetted if you give a fuck about privacy
Why people here say Pirate Bay is shit?
>>53531395
If you dual-boot on the same laptop, you can boot it up in a VM without making a image, but you can also take the hard drive out (you could make a image with a live CD on the laptop to a external drive too) and make a image out of it and boot it up in a VM too, yes.
>>53531425

Follow up question: good source for a 7 iso? Should I look after a cracked one, or will any old sticker off of a disused computer which came having 7 do?
>>53531425
>>53531427
7's underlaying driver framework is crap, for example graphics drivers work 20% faster on 8/8.1/10 then on 7. Google if you want. If you gayme, go to 10. Use the N LTSB edition.
>>53531425
Wrong. Microsoft spys since XP.
>>53531446
They are private tracker faggots
>>53531481
It's not crack, it's loader the software you need.
Search all in Pirate Bay.
>>53531484
How2NLTSB?
When I Google it, it says it's only available via large scale licensing agreement?
>>53531581
Torrent.
>>53531484
But these other systems have major drawbacks: 8's interface is strange and 10 spy too much.

>>53531718
Exactly my point, I'm refearing to the "people here"
So I'm trying to write this program up, here's a snippet. Ignore the prints, I was just seeing what's happening to the data at certain points
public static void EasyAddition(){
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter the amount of problems you wish to do: ");
int amountEA = in.nextInt();
int correct = 0;
EasyAdder(amountEA, correct);
System.out.println(correct);
int incorrect = amountEA - correct;
System.out.println("You have gotten: " +correct+ " correct!");
System.out.println("You have gotten: " +incorrect+ " incorrect.");
}
public static int EasyAdder(int amountEA, int correct){
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
int[]answersEasyAdder = new int[amountEA];
int[]usersanswersEasyAdder = new int[amountEA];
for(int z=0; z<amountEA ; z++){
int a = (int)(Math.random()*9+1);
int b = (int)(Math.random()*9+1);
int c = a+b;
answersEasyAdder[z] = c;
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(answersEasyAdder));
System.out.print("What is: " +a+ " + " +b+ " ?");
int d = in.nextInt();
usersanswersEasyAdder[z]=d;
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(usersanswersEasyAdder));
}
for(int l=0; l<amountEA; l++){
if(answersEasyAdder[l]==usersanswersEasyAdder[l]){
correct++;
System.out.println(correct);
}
}
System.out.println(correct);
return correct;
}
Why isn't the updated version of the variable correct from EasyAdder going into EasyAddition?
On AppchanX, I'm getting this shit message:

Where can I buy a shirt made from spider silk for relatively cheap?
which android emulator do you recommend?
I came across something called mEmu.
>>53532413
Never heard of such a thing. As far as I know harvesting spider silk in sufficient quantities to make cloth is very difficult since spiders are territorial and don't really like being crammed dense enough to make such a thing possible, and will just wind up murdering each other.
Some people did make one piece a while back but it was very expensive and time consuming and wound up going to a museum.
