I just replaced the stock firmware on a piece of shit router I had laying around with OpenWRT, because I want to use the router as a signal repeater, and the stock firmware didn't have the option.
Now the problem is the wireless options are all gone from the router's admin page. Apparently OpenWRT comes with wireless disabled by default (for whatever silly reason), and the wiki instructions don't work for me (https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/wireless). Seems like the "wireless" file just doesn't exist. I'm accessing the router through telnet by the way.
Long shot, but does anyone have any experience with this and could help?

Got a few questions here, java related.
1) How do I make a program that take's multiples of text and then writes it to a text file. I know the basics of implementing input -> text file but I'm not sure how to set it up for repeated use; and then exception handling for invalid input.
2) How would I implement an mp3 file in my java code? I want to code an alarm that full screens, plays an mp3 at max volume, and only halts after the user inputs some requested text/answer to question.
3) What would one need to know for developing a simple text based game? It doesn't seem that hard, but I'd like to know if there's anything specific I should look out for.

I figure this is one for this thread. I've bought this thing second hand. I'd forgotten to ask the guy how it works and figured no big deal-I'll figure it out. Wrong.

How do I get a girlfriend?
>>53627419
What do you mean lock in place?
Tbh it looks like a stand for a specific monitor, so if you mean height lock you might need to match the weight of that specific monitor, so you can randomly adjust it to fixed heights

The only recent change was me trying to see what battery savers where about so I installed du battery saver and that juice defender or something. Maybe they changed some policies or something ? I have uninstalled them without disabling first. This is not a network issue because other devices are working properly on the same network.
>>53627442
There is nothing embarrasing about it, if you dont need it then there is no reason to use it.
You will be booting a OS from a USB and not the HDD, if its the HDD the one that has problems then you shouldn't have problems at all while using a live version of linux from a USB.

What is your budget?
Would you post your PCpartpicker link?
>>53627419
>>53627440
The top half slides up and down and springs to its default-which is the top. It stays down if you put a weight on it, but otherwise it retracts to the top. For me it doesn't make sense that it would just be adjustable like this if there wasn't a way to lock it in place.
>>53627463
Anyone ?
>>53627543
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/f6KgD3
budget has been around $1000
also selling my current laptop afterwards to help offset that
>>53627544
Yeah thats the normal behavior
The springs pushed up with the same force the supposed monitor's weight would be pushing it down - so it stays wherever you adjust it to because the two forces are exactly the same unless you add to it.
If the monitor you are attaching to it is too light and the stand still brings it to the top on its own, you can find the correct weight and weigh it down, if you put the monitor on it and the spring is too weak to bring it up, afraid its useless.
Its how all Dell stands work and most others too.

Changed the 850 EVO 120GB for 240GB and a a PSU that is better.
Golden rule when building a PC, never cheap out in your PSU.
120GB is nothing for a OS SSD, you would fill it really fast.
People will laugh at you for getting a GTX 970 but the card works for its price.
And thats it, it just $50 more expensive.

Which mouse pad should I get? I don't particularly care for all those riced out mouse pads. A little graphic would be alright. Looking for something that is sewn on the edges to prevent it from fraying. My 6 year old mouse pad is starting to look a little rough.
>>53628031
No.
Its the same but with more bloat.
>>53628059
wash it with a scrubby pad and some dish soap and let it dry
>>53628031
It manages the RAM more efficiently, especially on systems with very low RAM.
>>53628059
That depends, actually. Do you have an optical or laser mouse? Different surfaces work better with either or. In my personal experience, Steelseries qck+ is a pretty decent choice, but it's caused me issues with jittery-ness on my new mouse. Presumably because laser doesn't work well with the fibers.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but fibrous mousepads perform worse with laser, and vice versa. Optical is better on fabric, whereas laser is better on smooth surfaces.
>>53628059
steelseries-rightsize or some €2 one
>>53627999
Actually, I just checked and you can replace "bestvideo+bestaudio" with "best[height=1080]" to have it only play 1080p videos. Only downside is that it will fail to play any videos that don't have a 1080p version if you do that.
>>53628119
Cool, thanks
1440p gets kinda squished so limiting to 1080 is handy, if its any lower I can't see shit anyway so thats not a problem

Because the clock speed is only relevant if they have the same architecture. Newer processors have more refined microarchitectures, so they'll (probably) be faster even with a lower clock speed.

Does preserving an installer matter? To give an example, let's say I have a game that I install, and rather than reinstall it at a later time, I simply zip up the folder and store it to be unzipped at a later time. Is there anything to be lost or messed by doing so? I can see on more complicated installers like Libre Office it's important to preserve things, but for games or simple applications?
i'm new to ssds, never used them, it happens that are 2 in my hands now, Kingston v300 120gb, and a Samsung 850 Evo 250gb. What do? i mean, which one i use for what? And By the way, i use a 1tb hdd for now, and what i mostly do is gaming.

>I simply zip up the folder and store it to be unzipped at a later time
can't do that with most applications because you will miss the registry keys associated with the software. at least on windows.
when you try to run the application it will ask you to reinstall it, so keep the installer around if you want to reinstall the software at a later point or transfer it to a different computer
>>53628585
use the samsung one for your os and your most frequently used applications and some of your games (it's more reliable than the kingston). use the kingston for the rest of your video games
>>53628585
850 EVO for OS since it will be the most reliable and faster, by a lot, 3-4 times faster.
SV300 is one cheap SSD with really low speeds that will fail eventually.

DVDISASTER: is it possible to show the exact % of errors? How?
>>53628757
I'll recommend (not trying to be rude, please do look this stuff up) searching around for your own information. I can tell you now, it's not a good idea to try and overclock an i7. That's all I'll say. Please search more information if you'd like to know more, as if I start trying to say "facts", they'll most likely be wrong - though what I said stays true, please don't try overclocking if you're not sure what you're doing with it to begin with. i5s are easily OCable. i7s (as I believe someone has stated) are a bit more unstable (a lot) when trying to OC.

You cant, and if you could, its not a good idea at all.

Yeah you're good, "USB Storage" is basically storage that can be read from your phone if you connect it via usb cable, so sd-card/internal memory etc. They probably use it for image storage and such

I want to start developing for Android. Does this sound like a good plan?

So far I'm one third done with this Python course. Should I just ditch python and head straight into Java?
when I rip a cd, can it lose audio quality over if I just play music off of it directly?
Is there such thing as an 'external screen-in-screen' device?
I just bought a 40 inch TV to use as my monitor, and it's almost too big. It doesn't support screen-in-screen, but it's big enough for it. Is there something I can plug my laptop and a blu ray player into one end and my TV into the other and the device will render them as screen-in-screen?
If not, original idea do not steal you can buy it in 5 years.

Generally tablet keyboards suck! I want Windows so I can run tons of programs unlike Android or iOS which are kinda limited.
>>53629269
Python is a god damn godsend. You can do so many things with it without much effort. But it won't be of much use on android, so it's better to start with Java.
XML? What? It's not a language. Also, JSON > XML any day.

If I was to build a retro PC with a Voodoo2 SLI, would Windows 98 or ME be a good choice?
I'd go with 2000, but I've heard the drivers are shit for Voodoo cards.
What should a programmer's portfolio look like? I have no idea what is professional enough and what isn't.
Is it good enough to write some sort of simple chat service in Java? Like a server / client application that runs on a local network, and it has a GUI so you can chat with someone in the same network?
I think it's challenging enough (requires knowledge of java, sockets, GUI development, etc).
Anyone got other ideas please? I graduate in one year so i have enough time, but i wanna start putting a portfolio together early so it doesn't look like i stole the code if its all made at the same time

You don't need a portfolio to get your first programming job unless you want to jump straight into cum guzzling in silicon valley

>>53629491
Depends, of course. Don't expect anything better that "good", though.
>>53629269
It does sound good. However, learning your first programmin language takes longer than you think. Once you know how to program, it's easy to pick up new ones, but when i learnt my first language it took me at least 3 months before i really understood what i was doing.
Not trying to scare you off, but you should keep that in mind.
>>53629303
There is more to learn about XML (DTD, XML Schema, XPath, XQuery, XSLT). However, most people will probably never need to know everything about that stuff, so you're right of course.
>>53629345
XML is important for Android development because a lot of the layout stuff is defined in XML documents.
>>53629430
But it can't hurt though, right? It should set you apart from other people applying for the same job.

why does ubuntu play youtube 1080p so much better than windows XP on my old PC? shouldn't it be the opposite? i think it used to be the opposite
>>53629896
could be one using h264 and the other one VP9 which your CPU can't handle.
why is the first DX12 videogame a remake of a 2006 xbox game that has Vsync forced on ?
>>53629924
whats VP9 ? im on a pentium D 3.40 GHz and pleasantly surprised by its performance on linux
>>53629896
Windows is a pile of cobbled together shit that has been growing and congealing for decades
>>53629896
More optimized.
>>53629947
VP9 is a video codec youtube uses.
h264 is hardware accelerated most of the times, vp9 isn't so it appears sluggish on low end hardware.
>>53629950
yeah but besides that, back when i first tried linux with ubuntu 8 the performance in youtube was so much worse in linux
>>53629972
is there a way to enable h264 on youtube? i can barely watch 720p content on XP and 60fps content gets completely out of sync with the audio
What are some necessities for a raspberry pi?
There are kits on Amazon with heatsinks, cases, etc.
I'll only be using it to download data from an API. I shouldn't need a heatsink for that, right?
>>53629987
With that CPU? no.
>>53629987
I had the same problem with out of sync audio, the cause was VP9.
I'm using h264ify now which forces h264 and I can watch videos on my celeron again.
>>53629990
you dont need heatsink but the latest Pi 3 does get pretty hot compared to its predecessors
just get a case if you really want it and the raspberry only has HDMI video so get an adapter if you need it
also SD card is neccesary

Well sounds common.
You will need 2 disposable USBs or 1 blank disk and one disposable USB.
Why are you getting rid of them? because there is nothing wrong with being paranoid.
Make a bootable DBAN USB/Disc and use it to clean the HDD, it will get rid of all files and clean the HDD.
Then just use a USB to reinstall windows.
Download the ISO from here:
http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/56439-Windows-7-ultimate-x86-x64-ISO-Download
Make a USB bootable with the iso with a program like rufus or unebootin.
Reinstall windows.
Once done you might need network drivers, use 3DPN.
Then download 3DP Chip and install the other drivers.
Then reinstall the programs he might need.

I have a Lenovo stat PC that came with an option in bios to turn it back to factory reset, to Windows 8.1.
I've read some rootkits and the like can stay persistant if you factory reset ur pc because it uses some shit in the win32 folder to manage to reset itself.
Is this true?
Is the only option to go Linux (also, regarding this-can malware duplicate to another os if u use linux from a cd/usb/dualboot) or to buy a new Windows CD/licence and dban?
Will an upgrade from win8.1 to 10 after a factory reset clean my PC of all shit?
I've done this a few times but dunno if it's sufficient to get rid of the nastiest rootkits
>>53630682
>http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102987
you either use integrated graphics or your dedicated graphics card
cant use both
>>53630730
Factory reset its not exactly a clean install.
Yes, but depends.
Depends on the malware but its possible.
No.
Its ransomware, its better to be sure you get rid of it instead be worried that is on the background.

We were joking with you because antikeyloggers are snake oil, a program can't disguise what your keyboard is typing and still allow your operating system to know what you're talking about.
