/sqt/ - Stupid Question Thread
Previous edition : >>54247329
Post all your smart questions here
If you have a stupid question search before posting (google, ddg, ixquick)
linux thread >>>/g/flt/
Programming thread >>>/g/dpt/
Web dev thread >>>/g/wdg/
All Linux stupid questions should be posted on the linux thread?

I guess both threads are okay, but you'll have a faster or better answer on the /flt/ if I had to guess.

Alright lads.
I just finished building my first computer about two weeks ago and I'm having some issues with the wireless connection. I have internet, I'm posting from said computer. However, it's very inconsistent and playing games online is un-doable. I have been able to play online with other computers from this exact spot before.
Something that is very strange to me, is when I check my connection from my laptop, it fluctuates from 29-40 mbps. When I check from my built desktop, is stays at a constant, exact 144.4 mbps. The strange thing about this is the fact that the internet we currently have, is 50 meg internet.
My friend said something about me potentially having three separate connections at once, thus the drops in connection and the unrealistic speed reading.
My wireless adapter is a TP Link WDN4800. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

On an unrelated note, what is a good IDE to work on Linux? Helps if it's easy to use. I've been using gedit for a while, but I'm starting to find it rather annoying.

I'm shopping for a cable modem because fuck comcast (also fuck the fact that they have a fucking gangland turf set up here in san jose but whatever im planning to move somewhere covered by paxio in the near future.)
now, i'm looking at netgear's modems and there's three different kinds, with a different number of channels. thing is, they range from ~350 Mbps to ~950 Mbps based on the how many channels they have.
if comcast's service plans here only goes up to 250mbps, what's the point of getting anything higher than netgear's lowest router? presumably there isnt some miscalculation that i'm having here?
How do I test linux driver issues using a virtual box? Since the host usually sets it up automatically, which is my concern

Where can I find clean downloads of Windows 7 legit? I have keys, but no disc.
I'm trying to make my linux look similar to Mac OS for the retro aesthetic. I have no intention of going full emulation but as it is i quite like my setup.
However i'm having problems with the fonts.
In Mac OS menus and apps used two fonts. However Linux seems to only use one typeface, for both user elements like buttons, which should look thick, and general text. I can either use a Mac font and give everything that chunky look for buttons (good) and content (bad), or use a thinner font and remove that Mac look on everything.
Is there any way to make it look like my pic related comparison? Should i use a different DE? i'll attach the current setup as well.

>>54264639
What exactly do you mean
>>54263101
bls respond
Am I looking at different fonts or is Windows' font rendering complete and total shit? For what it's worth, the font in Debian is called "Monospace" and not "DejaVu Sans Mono", but I can't find "Monospace" anywhere I look on the internet.
Why is Debian 7.8's terminal so pretty while Windows' command prompt is so ugly?
>>54263101
You get 144mpbs from a speed test?
It may just be a shitty wifi adapter.
Also, check your internet connections in windows and disable the ones you don't use? I'm throwing shit at the wall here, sorry.
>>54264715
Monospace is the generic name that your sytem uses for the current monospace font, i believe
And yeah, that's the same font with different rendering. By default window's rendering is shit.
Try installing a program like MacType to change the font rendering.
>>54262378
It's 2016 but still only a handful of programs make use (noticeable improvement in performance) of multicore architectures that are being favored over everything. Why?
>>54264715
>>54264776
Turns out I had Window's ClearType Text on, which was making fonts look super thick. I turned it off and it looked closer to Debian's.
On the other hand, the font here on 4chan now looks super sharp and is kinda hurting my eyes.
>>54264873
Again, try out Mactype.
>>54264625
>>54264605
TL;DR I want it to look more like
>>54264666
and pic related, fontwise.
I've swapped the font for Charcoal instead of Chicago, as it looks more authentic.

What do you gusy think?
Okay, I'm at a dilemma.
I'm using windows 7 and blocked windows 10 shit from appearing on my computer. The only reason why I am still continuing to use windows is because I am a gamer and a fair chunk of my games are still not linux compatible. I am planning on doing a dual boot system with a distro for my main shit and windows for gaming
I would like to have all of my files encrypted as well as having a flexible distro. I am comfortable using arch to an extent but I'm still new to linux
I have a 120gb SSD an a 2tb HDD and another 2tb HDD to backup to so i do not know how to set up my system.
Soo what I'm looking for is a distro to use for my main pc and an answer to how my partitions should be set up, linux and windows programs on HDD and windows boot on ssd or something else??

You'd still get massively lower seek/random read/write times and somewhat faster sequential read/write speeds than any mechanical drive.

I run four SATA drives off a 120gb SSD with TRIM enabled.
Is the TRIM shit worth bothering with at all?

>>54265736
Okay, so you have 1 SSD and 5 HDDs. Does the SSD have one partition on it? Post screenshot from diskmgmt.msc if you don't know what I'm asking.

>>54265736
>>54265781
Which SSD is it, Hyper X series?
>>54265781
You're not doing anything special with your SSD. Leave TRIM on.
How do I recover data off of a broken Galaxy S4? The MTP Driver is clearly broken and neither Windows nor my new phone will recognize the old thing as a device with removable storage.
>>54265807

That's what TRIM helps with. Turn it on.
Use gsmartcontrol to check SMART parameters. Or use any one of those SSD health utilities (if the drive manufacturer has one, start with that).
>>54265896
I'll give the gsmartcontrol a go. Thanks for the input.

reposting question from the web dev general.
stupid question. So I'm building a website for the first time (just testing, seeing how it works and shit).
Do I have have a domain name for it to be available to other people? Or can I just type in the IP address for the server I set up?
This sounds stupid typing it out but I just wanted to double check. I know I can just do tests through localhost and what not but I want it to actually go online, just to say I put a website up.

Is there anything similar to the Pi with VGA port instead of HDMI? And also audio jack ofc
>>54265530
From what i know it only stores the changes. So if you change one line and commit that change it only stores that one line change.
So git stores the original file, then after that it stores every change and it knows how to apply those changes or rollback those changes when you checkout older commits from the git log.
To go back to an earlier commit you just need to run $ git log and then find the commit you want to go back to find it's checksum id and then run $ git checkout <the-checksum-id>
The checksum will be a long string of numbers and letters and stuff

I needed to scrub my name on the net as I'm becoming a big boy. There wasn't much bad stuff, but there was 1 page that is slightly embarrassing.
I have fully deleted it but its still #5 googling my name, and you can view their cached version even tho clicking the link normally goes nowhere.
How do I remove this page from Google results? Since it doesn't exist anymore will it just go away in time? Would like it gone asap.

What music player should I use?
I stream movies etc from my PC to my 4k tv through the plex app,everything running through LAN connection but 4k videos and higher bitrate 1080p movies are having trouble streaming without stopping every ten seconds... i think my connection should be good enough, but maybe it's not... any settings I can change to prevent this?

How noticeable is 1080p vs 720p on a 24in monitor?
Will I be missing out by running my 1080 monitor at 720 from my cable box?
>>54267737
The router you have has gigabit ethernet, so the problem shouldn't be the network speed. Beyond that I don't really have any experience with plex to troubleshoot it.
>>54267782
Depends on how far away you view it.
>>54267782
not much difference, slightly less detail on a 24 in moniter, youll be seeing a little under a million pixels vs a little over 2 million pixels
>>54267808
what do you think is an acceptable bitrate limit for videos... 5mb/second?
>>54267825
I would say at least double that for 1080p/4k

>The dragon book
>beneficial for programming
You see that cover? You see how the programmer is literally fighting the complexity dragon?
Yeah, that book is not for people not implementing compilers.
On the other hand, if you want to know what goes on in a compiler, I'd recommend "Modern Compiler Implementation" in either C or Java (whatever you're more comfortable with)
It skips a lot of the abstractions that you don't need to know and dives deep into what goes on.

I've done it before with a Windows XP VM.
I can't really understand that skylake only supporting new Windows only.
What are the actual issues of running win8.1 with dualboot to XP(yeah, I need it and not in VM) on skylake?
>>54268237
Well with XP, it doesn't matter because XP doesn't get any updates at all.
And with Windows 8.1, you'll only be getting security updates instead of service packs and new features.
Not a big deal though because I very much doubt Microsoft will be pushing any new features of OSs that aren't 10
>>54268237
Its just some new power saving feature that is windows 10 only, it works like any other processor for anything else.

GTX is performance tier, and will actually give reasonable performance for gaming
>>54269852
because the 680 is a $500 gpu from 2012 and the 740 is a $100 gpu from 2013.
even in 2013 the 680 sold for at least 2 times the cost of ta 740.
It's just a much higher end gpu

6 - generation, this defines things like what things it supports (dx/ogl version, shader model version, etc), power efficiency (newer generations can do equivalent work with less energy)
8 - model, this is what defines "low end" and "high end", with ~1-3 as low end, ~4-6 as mid-end, and ~7-9 as high-end
0 - sub-model, may be used to display a minor difference between two cards of the same "model"
the big thing to note is that the processing power of the cards overlap significantly from generation to generation, so not all "7XX" cards are faster than all "6XX" cards, each "model" should be faster than the same "model" of the previous generation, however
>>54269947
also note, amd/ati does the same, and this also applies to 4-digit model numbers (with the last two being the "sub-model")

thanks, I've always wondered and all the hack youtubers who tried to explain were not nearly this clear or concise
Is there a mass image compress software for 4chin to make every image in a folder 3 mb or less?
What needs to be upgraded? Yesterday i was starting to play Dark Souls III and I've realised I can't play games anymore.
>>54269960
put together a chart comparing 6XX and 7XX models by passmark (benchmark) numbers
you can clearly see that a 740 is not even half the speed of a 680
and how they overlap
>>54270156
I'd get a new GPU, maybe a GTX 960 or an R9 280X.
Also have you overclocked your CPU?

I installed subsonic on my windows server and setup everything, but now the songs get only displayed in the sidebar of the webpanel, not in the songs list nor in the app - the permissions are set to "everyone" and subsonic is clearly working with administration rights, although if I put the songs in a playlist, I can see the songs, how do I fix this?

Battery issue
I tried changing resolution on my monitor, and it started fucking up. In Device manager it is now seen as "Genric PnP Monitor". I tried restoring to an older time, but it is still the same. The monitor shows worse quality than before and it is annoying me.
Is there anything I can do? Will a full factory reset be the only solution?
I want to get me grubby hands on the Radeon Pro Duo, but my case can't fit the water cooling radiator. Is there a way I can hack it in with a 3rd party cooler?
I just want moar graphics right now ._.
How's this pc build?
>Total Price:

>no ssd
Have one in my laptop, not worth the extra price for the few seconds saved. Opening chrome in 2 seconds as opposed to 5 seconds is not a big deal to me. Especially since windows seems to cache applications in memory afterwards anyways. So only the initial one is slow.
Plus I would rather have one big partition so all my stuff is in one place (Desktop, Music, Documents folders)
>gtx meme70
Placeholder for gtx 1070/equivalent amd Polaris gpu

Dont feel like spending more than I should on a case. Its just gonna be sitting in a corner anyways.
Also, unless you get some high end water cooling loop in it, the pc will look pretty meh inside anyways.

Still own a bunch of dvds/blu rays, still buying them as well.
Hey, I have a question for a project I'm looking to do. I have a younger sibling who has started expressing interest in computers and gaming. I'm not really confident enough to really give them a rig of their own yet due to their age and I rather give them something in a controlled environment. I was thinking of either making something with a raspberry pi, or picking up an Intel Stick.
tl;dr Want to make an emulation station/minecraft machine for a little kid that plugs into a TV.
>>54270625
You could just get 2 Fury Xs for less
>>54270665
where is the question if you already answered yourself in the tl;dr?
>>54270670
Won't fit in my case, unfortunately...
>>54270701
the idea is to get a case that holds the components you want, not the other way around (buying parts to fit the case you want)
>>54270700
Oh, fuck me, I guess I just had a brainfart. I was going to ask if anyone's done anything like this before and what are some recommendations? Cause I'm really open to just about doing anything, I was just curious if anyone's done something like this before.
>>54270721
I really like the case :(
>>54270727
probably the easiest way is a raspberry pi+emulation station+nintendo controller
How shit are Mushkin ssd? $205 for 1tb 2.5"

AAAAAARGH! WHY WOULD THAT BE AN OPTION? WHAT IS THE POINT OF THAT?
>>54270935
That's basically what I was thinking as well to be honest. It most likely is the cheapest option as well. Might set them up with some neat shit like Doom too since I'm sure it can be ran on there. Want to get Minecraft on there but from what I understand that shouldn't be an issue. They really love creative building games so I might get something like SimCity on there as well.
I guess that kind of settles it, I'm off to order some Pis and pieces for a case we're going to build together.
>>54270992
wish you good luck anon
What is Xamarin and how do use it for anything?
I have 4790k right now and I was wondering how much better performance I could expect in autocad or archicad, if I upgraded to a x99 based cpu?
>>54262378
I want to keep an e-diary or offline only blog, what software should I look into? on arch btw
>>54262705
Anyone?
>>54271069
Find the folder where the sound files exist,then delete them all.
>>54270966
On 50Mb/s up bruh
Hit me
>>54271171
50 MB/s or 50 mbps
>>54271051
Neither are particularly well multithreaded, performance gains would be marginal
>>54271183
he pretty clearly said Mb/s, it only has one meaning
I'm looking to buy a 2 in 1 laptop that have decent stylus (I will be using it mainly for drawing and digital art). Are there any out there with good digitizers (except for the MS surface line because they are so bloody expensive)
>>54271212
These bitrate conventions always confuse me.
Nevertheless, thanks for confirming.
>>54271171
So how do I do this?Should I send you email address?
Will you upload now or later?
>>54271058
A regular fucking text editor? Not quite sure what functionality you're looking for beyond that...
>>54271218
only ones worth buying are thinkpads (x220t) or one from the MS line
>>54271092
>I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you do that.
>>54271301
Do this after booting into linux or use a live cd
>>54271285
God it's pricey... And the resolution isn't that great for the price either
>>54271366
You don't buy them new.
Just a quick stupid question. I want to buy a universal laptop docking station for my chromebook for VGA, USB and ethernet. I presume I can just plug it in and it will just work? dont have to mess around with compatibility or drivers etc?
>>54271366
Use ebay, that shit's overpriced.
How do I make a bootable ISO of lo/g/os on Linux?
Think i need to replace my motherboard, but i dont want to replace my CPU, how easy is it to transfer a CPU between motherboards? Do i need to buy thermal paste?
help
>>54271366
use ebay
Whats the difference between Opera, Vivaldi and Chromium?
>>54271468
Well the socket should match.
You will have to reinstall windows thats for sure.
Yes you need thermal paste.
>>54271468
You would need a motherboard with the same cpu socket as your current motherboard. If you tell us your cpu we could help you out. Yes you would need new thermalpaste for when you remove the heatsink.
>>54271420
>>54271443
The thing is that I live somewhere in SE Asia, where shipping can be a bitch to handle (I have to use a freight forwarding service sometimes). So by any chance I get a faulty product it's not gonna be fun shipping it back.
Also, does anyone know what laptop supports Wacom Intuos stylus?
>>54271517
you won't get a faulty product of ebay, just look at the grading and sellers rating
I have 2 HDTV's that I am trying to connect to my PC. Using the same cable, the first one looks really great, but when I put it in the other HDTV it look really weird. Same Cable, I changed the settings. What gives?
>>54271728
faulty cable, replace it
>>54271841
As I said, it works fine on the other TV, just not this one.
I have a confusing issue with my gpu. It worked well up until I removed a USB.. I might have touched the back of it but now it doesn't display a signal anymore. I've tried reseating it and using both HDMI and dvi cords. It's not the slot itself that's an issue and I think the motherboard is fine since I swapped back to my old 560 ti and everything worked just fine. Any advice?
>>54271847
TVs hdmi port is faulty then, you could buy a broken model of your TV and replace it or you can just get a new tv
>>54271728
Define "weird"
Is there a significant cooling boost for switching to Noctua?
The fan on my Hyper Evo is starting to click and its driving me nuts. If I rip the thing off and replace it with a noctua, will it be better or about the same?

>>54271914
It looks like there is a permanent Instagram filter on it. Look at the picture. Let's say the third is what a normal TV picture would look like, mine looks more like the first with dark sharp edges. Also when scrolling, it looks like the text is melting.
>>54271956
The cooling won't be much different but it should be quieter.
>>54271977
Might be something weird with the default color profiles
Melting text might be bad response time but it shouldn't be that extreme
Do you have another computer to try connecting them to?
>>54272013
>Do you have another computer to try connecting them to?
Sadly not, but I might have found something. I looked through the manual and the HDTV support both 1080i and 1080p for the PC. I am currently using 1080i and it doesn't say how to change to 1080p, you think that might be it?
>>54272059
Yeah interlacing would probably explain the melting text shit but not the colors.
>>54271982
thanks, good to know
To anyone who has used Scan.co.uk before: I recently returned a part that I bought as I realised it was the wrong part that I needed, so I've been going through the RMA/Returns process and I've just got an email saying that "a refund has been authorised for your returned goods". Does this mean that I'm going to get a proper refund, or credit to use on Scan?

friend told me
MSI B150M PRO-VD

Which paid AV is better, Kaspersky or Norton?
Which free one is the best right now?
Thanks for reply, like always.
>>54272210
I wouldn't listen to your friend for these things anymore, that motherboard is the wrong socket
You need LGA 1155 for the CPU
>>54270321
you're sure you added the media folders correctly and created a user w/ permissions to see them?
