I got this CD (not DVD) reader some years ago. It's "Creative Labs" "CD1620E" from around 1997.
Can it be used not plugged on a motherboard? Like, plugged on a PSU, and sound boxes, and play CDs? This would be great!
How do I write a program that can interact with scripts on websites? I want it just to tick boxes and fill out forms, analyse displayed text on the site as well.

DVDISASTER: is it possible to show the exact % of errors? How?
>>53562284
I'm trying to find a program for a "front end" for my media collection. I'm dealing with music, movies, and tv shows mostly
I want to be able to stream and view my media from phones, tablets, laptops, and the other desktops in a clean easy manner, as well as be able to stream this to the tv (preferably without a HTPC, something like a Rpi would be fine though)
All of this is stored on my NAS, which is running FreeNAS
I'm currently torn between kodi and plex. I've used kodi before with the Rpi and it's been straightforward and easy, however FreeNAS has support for plex through a plugin.
Any pointers on which to use, any features or redeeming/damning qualities about either?
Just to specify I'm trying to move to having all of the home media on the NAS, using a TV tuner to use the NAS as a dvr, storing the movies, all of the families media, etc.
I have an I5 2500s that needs a mainboard. Any recommendations?

My criteria is a button to switch between two different sensitivities and two side buttons. I've got my pick of the litter, but I don't know where to find out which are good and which suck besides falcon's peripherals guide.

I dont know about the buttons, but both of those are top notch choices
also maybe consider zowie, I've never used but I hear good things
Is making an user with capital letters on my personal linux machine a bad idea? What could go wrong?

Order parts to a new PC on Newegg and Amazon. Everything has come in except the RAM that might come on Wednesday at the latest. Can I boot up this PC just to confirm the BIOS and hardware is working or is it just a waste of my time?

It's an old Lenovo Thinkstation that the IT department at my school donated to me. The specs are not very good but it nice to have a place to back things up, but it's still kind of s shitty setup.
I have $300 left of my tax returns and I was hoping to use it to upgrade it. I'm just not sure what to upgrade, I have no problem with the speed or anything but I am running out of disk space so I'm wondering if would be worth it to spend the $300 on a new mobo and case for the server because the Thinkstation case only has one bay for a hard drive.
I never really purchase PC parts and I'm wondering whats a good budget mobo/case that I can use.

did you try manually enabling dhcpcd?
also, try refreshing your ip
if that doesn't do it then consult /flt/, they'll be more help
>>53564421
yes i tried disabling and enabling dhcpcd but it didn't do its job. i tried restarting, pacman -Syy -Syu (it gave me a key error though), downloaded iwlwifi-6000g2b-ucode-18.168.6.1 and installed to /lib/firmware but no.
>>53564470
if pacman gave a key error then you may need to follow the process to verify the keys, google it I cant really help much there

This is highly video game related:
This is my temperatures under load at the worst spots in The Witcher , IE: Novigrad, certain places with a lot of foliage, a lot of characters. I have my settings put to near max.

I want to play my playstation on my pc's desktop without any lag. Are there usb/pci capture devices capable of this? I couldn't care less about recording gameplay.

Does anyone have this but instead its a gfx card and the caption is 'wah what are we gonna do on the motherboard?'
>>53564551
Thanks m8
>>53564785
Not too bad at all. Its not great for product lifespan, but a modern gfx card can go over 100c and live to tell the tale. Are there any other pcie cards blocking the air intake? or are there any cables in the way of the intake?
>>53564931
>Are there any other pcie cards blocking the air intake? or are there any cables in the way of the intake?
Here is the inside of my case if that answers your question. I like to think not, but looking at it again: It seems like the harddrives are blocking airflow to a certain degree.

You're in for an awakening.
>>53564960
nah that looks ok to me, you've got two meaty front fans and one is entirely unobstructed. The underside of the card is unobstructed too.
Im wondering if the top exhaust fans are making the pressure too low inside for the gfx card fan to do its job, but thats just speculation and not my strongest point. You could try disabling them however and taking note of what happens to the temps.

I unplugged both of them at two different times and tested out the temperatures under load in furmark. The highest temperatures they achieved were the same as before I unplugged one at a time, which was 74c.
Seems to me The Witcher 3 is the only game to even hit remotely near 76-77c and every other game doesn't get close. I find that very odd.
>>53564785
Maxwell working temperature target is 80ºC, it will downclock after that, maximum temperature until shit starts to get unsafe is 91ºc, fans would only hit 100% usage if it gets close to 90ºC which would be very very very rare to happen.
Try making a custom fan curve with MSI Afterburner or try disabling some fans and see if temperatures improve, aftermarket cooler on those cards dump the hot hair inside the case so you need to feed it cool air and extract the hot air from the top, try disabling the bottom fan first maybe it is preventing the front intakes from pushing air directly to the card.
>>53565139
No, just plug the monitor to the GPU instead of the motherboard, in case you're having troubles go into the bios and select the pcie as primary instead of the igpu.
>>53565392
oh shit I didnt see his bottom fan. Thats probably disrupting airflow to hell.

I'm trying to scrape the content of the tables on old navys sizing charts (http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/sizeChart.do?cid=3102). Problem I'm running into is that they seem to be tables composed of divs with dynamically loaded javascript content. I've been using BeautifulSoup and python for most my scraping, but obviously that won't work here. I'm looking into selenium and phantomjs but I have no idea after a day of fucking with it how to scrape the dynamically created size charts. I could really use some help or a point in the right direction.Thanks /g/.

I know you can do a power on self test. Just look up a tutorial on how to do it. Though I don't know if you need the RAM installed to do it.
https://www.looksharp.com/organizations/electronic-arts--35/listings/software-engineer-intern-summer-2016
Does this translate into "literal botnet intern"?
>>53565648
To actually run 1440p and fully utilize those 144hz you'll need a pretty beefy GPU
But as it stands, 1440p is becoming the new 1080p. Most of the higher end cards are made with >1080p gaming in mind.

In Java, I'm trying to make some code for an object of a fixed speed (moves in a straight line in direction "dirMe") to deflect off of a given collision point but I am way too sick and tired right now to figure out a solution.
I tried dirMe = dirMe-Math.atan((xMe-xHit)/(yMe-yHit)); which sort of works but has some pretty strange results.
Variable meanings:
xMe, yMe = x and y of moving object
dirMe = direction of moving object
xHit, yHit = x and y of collision point
It's the last difficult thing I need to do for an already overdue assignment, but I've been letting it get so overdue because I can't figure it out.

I know people say Telegram isn't secure, but if I just want normal chats without Facebook or some other big company's mitts all over my chats, is Telegram secure enough?
>>53565613
There are two possibilities: rats chewed through the cables, or the end connectors are worn down. The latter is much more likely.
Course of action: Take off the outlet cover of a broken cable and give it a light tug. If you end up with a frayed end, call and exterminator and get the house vetted. Do this on both ends.
Next, buy new female ends from home depot. With a pair of wire cutters, clip the end of the ethernet cable, strip the wires, and hook it up using the pinout on the connector. Because of shitty chineese manufacturing they have something like a 10% failure rate, so buy a few extras. Repeat on both ends and test the cable.
If you are looking for an upgrade, buy some cat6e cables, tie them off to the end of the old ethernet cables, and pull them through until you get the new wire all the way through your wall.

I've been using LyX for general writing for some time, and liking it except for a small problem.
When writing stories, I often mostly have very short scenes separated like
[scene]
-º- (Centered)
[scene]
Having blank lines seems to completely fuck up with LyX when I export to any other format, and often results in
[scene]
-º- (Left-aligned)
[scene]
Which is terribly annoying to fix one by one. Is there any way to tell LyX to insert my scene separator directly in the output? Some kind of custom scene separation?
Earlier today, after opening then closing disk cleanup for W7, I decided I wanted to run it after all, so I went to launch it, but it wouldn't launch even after multiple attempts. So I restarted the laptop.
My computer failed to restart. I tried starting it four more times, but each time startup repair launched automatically. I don't appear to have any more boot options, even when mashing F8 on boot.
Is my HDD dead? a few weeks ago ir started randomly shutting down throughout about once every day or two, and a previous /sqt/ thread helped me deduce that it's due to my HDD read speeds dipping to 15mbps semi-routinely, and that speeds of 5-10 mbps causes a shutdown, but I never thought an HDD would die on restart....
tl;dr: attempted to restart laptop. laptop has failed to boot all five times I've tried to boot it since my aforementioned attempt to restart it. said laptop has been shutting down semi-frequently in the past few weeks due to HDD read speeds dipping to 5-10 mbps. is my HDD dead?
just reading and responding to my tl;dr will be ok, since it covers everything pertinent I mentioned in the post otherwise. thanks.
Rate my build. First pic is my general setup, second is the GPU specs. I chose the card based off of logicalincrements and because I have cash. I'm just hoping the power supply will be sufficient because the tower has no indication as to what wattage it is. I otherwise know basically nothing about computers. This will be a Skyrim, porn and 4chan machine.

"kawaii codec pack" is mpc-hc + a ton of other shit to optimize video pkayback and etc., so I'd recommend getting on that. it's what I use.

>>53567098
I'm assuming everything the tower needs is preinstalled. Including mobo drivers and what not. You will have to install the latest graphics card drivers which you'll find on the nvidia website. It's pretty self explanatory. If the card comes with a disc that has drivers in it, don't bother with it because those drivers are outdated.
I know someone that wants to use their flash drive as a way to put secure information, such as passwords, on it and secure it behind some type of password system or encryption from that specific flash drive.

Which build is better?
Intel:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2mrwGX
AMD:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LwcysY
Hey, dunno if this is the right place, but as of 3 days ago, I started having issues with my computer, where it would instant reboot randomly, without giving any error messages. I'm not that tech savvy, but I checked the temps, which were all okay, so its not overheating, I also updated drivers and checked for virae/malware, which has all been cleaned out AFAIK. I'm really at a loss, any ideas?
Can pic related be used to store data like in flash drive?
>>53568341
Well, it can store data, but not like a thumb drive. This is how we used to load programs before floppies were a thing.
>>53568341
What do you think we used before floppies became affordable?
>>53568094
Go with R9 390 in either case.
As for CPU: Intel's will probably give you better performance in games, but 2 cores (even with hyperthreading) is a bit too few for modern standards.
I'd say go with AMD, or browse for Intel 4-core CPUs, maybe you'll find something.
And AMD needs a cooler much more than Intel, just fyi.
>>53568120
My bet is on overheating. Check again.
Maybe see if perhaps you have low temps set as "overheating" in bios?
>>53568341
You can, it's just not practical.
You can get like 2 MB tops.
But if it's the durability you're looking for then go for it.
>>53568094
Better yet, get this:
>>53568305
What exactly makes intel cpus better then amd? From what I see amd tends to have higher clock speed then intel chips, what am I missing?
>>53568586
Intel has more money to pay for shills.
>>53568586
intel chips have more calculations/instructions per cycle.
so a lower clocked intel cpu can outperform a higher clocked amd cpu.
>>53568586
Clock speed means nothing when comparing different architecture.
Imagine comparing a 60w incandesent bulb to a 8w led light. "Its got 60w it must be better" is is the same as thinking "its got 4 Ghz it must be faster than 3Ghz". Even in the same AMD CPU, a 3Ghz 8350 vs a 4 Ghz Sempron wouldn't say anything.
What makes something faster than another is comparison of thirdparty benchmarks. Intel CPU can read instructions faster than AMD. For programs that only operate on single or dual thread, this is a good advantage. However with multi-threading, they equal out.
>Single thread
Imagine counting 1-100. Lets say Intel can count 1-100 in 50 seconds. AMD can count in 100 seconds.
>Two thread
thread one counts 1-100 (even)
thread two counts 1-100 (odd)
intel can count in 30 seconds
amd can count in 50 seconds
>8 thread
each thread counts 8 numbers
intel counts it in 10 seconds
amd counts it in 11 seconds
etc there is a diminishing return, but overall multithreaded programs makes things equal.
Now if you overclock intel 3ghz to 3.5, it becomes slightly faster than 3ghz. Same with AMD 3.5 to 4Ghz.
In Java, how can I cleanly make variable x into a multiplier of 1 if x is positive, and -1 if x is negative?
Math.abs(x)/x almost works, but sometimes x is infinity and Java is shit so if that happens things go wrong badly.

Disable them in registry. Also if those are greyed out then you probably need them.

>>53568708
Thanks
>>53568708
Thats borderline bullshit. This only applies to problems that can _perfectly_ multithreaded. Each added core increases the time spent on synchronizing the results, which means there are quickly diminishing returns. Or to put it differently, one core with 1k instructions per second is most certainly better that 1.1k cores with 1 instructions per second. And even with 8 vs 4 cores, the 4 cores will win in many szenarios.

What's a good cheap tablet /g/?
So my friend asked me to recommend him a new GPU, I want to recommend him an AMD one, but he's a Nvidia shill. How do I convince him that he's wrong?
>>53568858
There even is a quite easy to understand comparison why this is the case. GPUs are specifically created for massively parallel workloads. I.e. each pixel in a 3d graphic can be calculated independently of another. Yet there are very few problems in general coputer usage that can be sensibly mapped onto those parallel general purpose cores.
I'm looking to buy a new laptop. I do web development and machine learning. I don't need something to run heavy calculations on. Needs to be Unix based. Needs to be light and sturdy, battery should last me ages. I don't want to have to install my own distro and then have it die for no reason. I don't want to have shitty driver support. Which apple product would be the best choice for me?
>>53568971
the one that fits your budget.
>>53568774
Ooh. It's doable through registry!
Thanks.
Do I'm currently installing an Asus geforce gtx 980 which came with pic related.
My PSU doesn't have an 8 pin socket so I need to use this. My question is do you need to plug two 6 pin connectors into the converter or just one?
>>53569012
I could buy a 13' pro retina or an airbook or a regular macbook. They are all options.
>>53569060
so pick one to your liking, there aren't much choices going apple.
what software can i use to unlock a file that "can't be deleted because it's currently in use"?
using windows 10.
So I saw a popup that stated "Alert! You may need to fix Windows errors". Upon seeing this I knew that something was wrong and so I googled it and came across this
https://malwaretips.com/blogs/alert-you-may-need-to-fix-windows-errors-removal/
I have followed all the steps on there. I ran ADW Cleaner and Junkware removal tool. Upon launching chrome after a bit this extension appears installed
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-downloader-professi/elicpjhcidhpjomhibiffojpinpmmpil/support?hl=en
It has 4.5 stars on there but if you look at the reviews you'll see that they all say the same thing which leads me to believe these are faked reviews.
In any case, if disconnect my ethernet cable the files go away and they stop appearing on ADW and Junk Removal Tool scans. Whenever I connect back onto the internet they show up again. It should be noted that I've also run Malwarebytes multiple times and it didn't even detect the virus. Hitman Pro does detect it.

Can you explain this more? I don't understand how to build one and show them.
>>53569225
Show your work. Your projects. Show your documentation of your work. Proof of your work. Where's the source code?
If you have worked on any project, source code it on gitcuck or gitgud or your own personal website..
Go to github find things to contribute to or maybe provide software of your own and maintain it.
Do freelance programming work, craigslist etc
Make your own website

I have never had to use a 6 to 8 converter but I am certain that you need to plug both the 6 pins in. Are you completely out of room for 2?
>>53569525
Room for 2 what?
Sorry I'm a complete amature at this
>>53569572
>Room for 2 what?
6 pin cables, aren't you asking about this do to only have room for one?
what site do you use for disposable emails
>>53569607
The GPU has a 8 pin and a 6 pin slot on it
I as far as I can see I've only got 2*6 pin spare, if I can get away with only plugging one 6 pin into the converter it's happy days, otherwise I'll have to get a new PSU

I'm planning into paying US$5/year for the adless uTorrent client, because I prefer an adless version at the same time I think it's fair to pay for the development of this software I use since so long time.
But, there is a good reason not to do that?
>>53569978
Uhh, no? Just get a real torrent client.
>>53569985
Why do you think this isn't a real client?
>>53569998
because it includes ads when there are other better torrent clients out there that aren't shady and require you to view ads

Can an arch linux user help me out?
Are there some known systemwide compatibility issues TLS/SSL?
I compiled https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/icecat/ from the AUR and when I start run it with any settings or even the default profile I cannot load some images because of a Secure Connection Failed error.
"An error occurred during a connection to x.x.x. Peer attempted old style (potentially vulnerable) handshake. (Error code: ssl_error_unsafe_negotiation)"
No matter how I change the security settings in about:config nothing seems to change.
When I use standard firefox or chrome it works.
Also, when I copy my icecat folder to my laptop running the same OS and same version of icecat it magically works.
What's the best tampermonkey script to skip referral links like adfly?

if it's as pictures, with at least eject/play/skip buttons, and a headphone jack, you can
i used to do that many years ago, i hooked one up in a car so i could listen to cd's with my headphones (as a kid, not driving with headphones, of course, if i was driving i could have added a fake tape to connect it to the car stereo)

MP3. That's why.
>>53570202
why does it work on my laptop then? I don't understand
>>53570115
They said that was one ad service, not themselves, who added.
>>53569471
because it was only really beneficial before everyone got sound cards
if you didn't have a soundcard, this feature could be used to listen to audio cd's and hear at least ingame music (if the game used cd audio)
ever since soundcards became ubiquitous, the feature went unused, people hooked their speakers up to the motherboard/soundcard instead, which could have the sound passed through (you'll notice a 4 pin connector on the back, this is connected to the soundcard to pass through cd audio)
>>53570200
should be noted they're not idea for in-car use, as these drives often don't have antiskip functionality, a portable cd player with antiskip would be a better choice

How you hooked it on the car?
Should I get a laptop or chromebook? Would just be for web browsing, streaming, watching media and torrenting.
Good deal / shitty deal?
How do I go from being a self-taught web >developer
to actual programming? My skill set is comprised
of php, server js client js, SQL and OOP. I'm not asking
for an elaborate list of things I need to know, I just want
to know where to start.
That's how I got interested in writing code in the first place
anyway, I jsut wanted to make a web page then make it
dynamic, db driven, and eventually async so I just looked
up what I need to do and tried doing it.
Can I teach myself programming that way or do I need
to spend lots and lots of time reading books first?
Just a single thing I need to do to get started. I have a
feeling it's C, but I don't know what to do with it. What
useful non-autistic software can I write in C to get started?
>>53570331
you just need 12v and 5v, 12v was taken directly from the lighter socket, and 5v was with some kind of 12v > 5v regulator i had (i think it was a car cellphone charger i used, these days you can get car usb adapters literally anywhere almost for free, usb is 5v)
Does this look like a smart purchase in creating a lab / studying for the CCNA?

Programming is a means to an end
You start when you have a goal in mind and use programming to achieve it.
>>53570532
should be printed on the top label on the cd-rom drive
though it likely uses very little current on the 5v line, and a car provides plenty of power through its lighter socket (over 100w worth)
the 5v charger i used was likely only 500mA or so, usb chargers nowadays are often 1A-2A, i doubt you'll have any trouble with power

Bump for my question
Dear /sqt/.
At past, I was using Filestube website for video metasearching and viewing without having to visit the sites in question. However, the website stopped providing such services year or so ago.
Are there another metasearch engines for video services that would allow me to do the same?
Thank you for any answer.
>>53570585
OK, but this "plenty of power" wouldn't damage my drive?
>>53570623
no, volts are "pushed" and amps (current) are "pulled"
so you can't have too many amps on the source
if the cdrom only need 1A, and the source is 20A, the drive will only "pull" 1A
it's only when you provide too many volts will you have problems, if you hook a 12v device up to a 24v supply, you will likely damage it

This makes me confused, because my friend, which studies electrical engineering in my city's university, said I could not plug my netbook on the socket of the car...
>>53570670
Are you running it on a virtual machine?
>>53570681
what voltage does the netbook use, though? if it's not 12v then you can't connect it directly (if it expects less, it might be damaged, if it expects more, it won't work/charge)
that said, i imagine the lighter socket isn't a very clean power source, car batteries can be charged up to as much as 16v, i didn't have any trouble with my cdrom drive, but if you're concerned, you could put a regulator on the 12v line to smooth it out to a cleaner 12v
I'm needing to buy an USB card reader. I need it to read Memory Stick and SD, but should I buy a model that reads also XD? I have one card of this type here... It came on a broken camera my aunt gave me.

>>53570730
My friend didn't know at the time. But it's 19V.
It wouldn't get more energy, but wouldn't it slows down battery discharge?
Why 16V wouldn't damage your CD drive?
