what's the point of this shitty thread?
Can anyone answer >>54275440 pls
using Java
want user to input string
then program will assign ints to the chars as well as whether the char was a vowel vs consonant
then do some math on the int values based on the individual chars entered
should i use array, arraylist, hashmap, other?
ex:
a (vowel=true), j (vowel = false), s (vowel = false), int value = 1
b (vowel = false), k (vowel - false), t(vowel = false), int value = 2
etc...

If you haven't formatted it in five years it's about time, could shave off a good couple of seconds of processing.
How does YouTube monetization work?
Do you auto-monetize your whole account or is it a manual per-video process?
Can you actually get into legal trouble by monetizing things or is everything so automated that the worst they can do is block a video or something?
>>54275736
Get an SSD if you can afford it, 5 second boot time and everything loads damn quick.
Also reformatting your drive and re-installing the os will speed it up a bit
Is there Linux Distro for Desktop only? I see that some say that they are for desktops, installing one of these in a laptop, what you be different?

I know a lot of people here have a stigma against facebook but I have no idea where else to ask this.
My account was disabled and they wouldn't tell me why. I showed them proof that it was really me. They reactivated my account but after about a day they disabled it again. I showed them the same proof and they said nothing and closed the support case without saying anything. I tried it again and they did the same thing, and for a few days it's been the same shit back and forth and I don't know what to do anymore. How do I solve this? I really don't want to make another account.

I want to get a replacement for my FSP 350-60MDN power supply. Two questions:
Is it ok to get a 500w replacement, given that the fsp 350-60MDN is 350ww output?
Do I need to worry about size and such or the replacement? How can I make sure before buying that it will fit?
Also if you lads have any replacement recommendations that would be brilliant. If we can get cheaper than €20 that would be great.
>>54276318
are your images in the web directory or are they somewhere else on the machine?
they should be in the web directory. and you should be using relative links.

if you don't need to overclock you can get a much better priced CPU, MB and cooling.
especially the motherboard god damn
and i think you're overpaying for the ram by at least $150

also fucking moon moon
>>54276682
It's mainly about reliability. The CPU is pretty standard Skylake given it's the only thing that supports DDR4. I couldn't find ram that's significantly cheaper, but if you have suggestions, they're always welcome.

>>54276719
if you install it on a separate drive you don't have to worry about it breaking the bootloader. each system would be invisible in the other's bootloader. you'd have to choose to which drive you boot into from the bios/uefi each time though.

>>54276923
How the FUCK are they friends if you lose them over a FUCKING website!?!

youtube-dl is an open source, stand-alone command line software written in python. it's simple, feature rich and almost daily updated. supports much more than just youtube and works on all systems.
i got a chinese phone THL t100s and its still on 4.2 i found a shady site that links to another shady site to get the rom for android 4.4

what do?
>>54277028
I just need to know how it works now.
>>54277040
sudo apt-get install youtube-dl
>>54277040
i'm assuming you're on windows, no offense:
after installing, go to the directory where youtube-dl.exe is and right click background, choose "open command line here". then:youtube-dl.exe [youtube url goes here]
that's it. you can read more about the other stuff on their page

I'm actually on a mac......
Anyone know what the fuck is causing this? It's driving me up the wall and as you can see from the video is annoying as fuck. It only happens with Chrome based browsers and does it on any webpage where all page elements will vanish and then comeback with flickering when a link is highlighted. The font rendering also changes afterwards and appears more blurry. I have to keep using the Home and End keys to get it to stop. I've disabled GPU acceleration but it has made no difference.
>>54276954
Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to know.

if you have a 900$ of budget then you should go for a 4K and 40", or 60" on 1080
>>54277105
So it keeps telling me command not found, is there something I need to be doing before i put youtube-dl.exe [video link] ?

did yousudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
?
>>54277308
The whole page disappears (no scroll bar on the right) and then re-appears only at the top or bottom of the page, so I guess so. I can't find any other reference of anyone else having the same issue. It only started happening after a certain update maybe 2 months or so ago.

Is there a "right" way to write programs?
what should be my thought process when writing a program for work?
So far I've seen three different ways:
way #1:
>get a feature request/story to work on
>implement it all in one function, copy & pasting code rather than using for loops, etc.
>after they know it works, slowly refactor code to make it more elegant. add new classes and functions based on the refactoring.
way #2:
>get a feature request/story to work on
>brainstorm on paper
>draw UML diagram
>create skeleton classes and functions based on that UML diagram
>fill in functions and classes based on those skeleton files
way #3:
>get a feature request/story to work on
>start writing function
>create new functions and classes as they implement more features
>>54278513
It's used by itself. dmenu is a good way to launch stuff if using just a window manager. I recall liking i3 on my Crouton, but switched to XFCE because it couldn't resize terminal windows by rows and columns, only pixels.
Hey!
If i resize an image to make it tinier, the computer needs to show the same Picture, but in less Pixels available. How does the computer decide which pixels he can left out to make it tinier but look the same?
here's the thing:
i have RAID1 (software) to prevent losing all the important stuff if one of my HDD decides to die again. but not so long ago i was adding a fan and somehow touched the SATA cable to one of the disks in a way that made it still visible in the system but unable to work. i noticed that few weeks later when i did my regular PC inspection (S.M.A.R.T. was full of end-to-end and ultra DMA CRC)
after checking the files on both disks separately, of course, many were on just one of them. now here's my question: should i just copy those missing files from one to other and OS will be happy with it or should i remake the entire RAID? because i'm not sure if OS will see those new files or treat them as free space for overwriting
>>54278679
this is really fucking complicated
read this for starters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_scaling
>>54278679
The image will not be the same, it will look like it, but the more you scale it, the more quality loss there will be.

Raid is not backup
If you're going to use raid,use hardware raid.Software isnt portable and is way more likely to fuck you over
There is no parity in raid 1 ,so the only way to retrive data is to copy it from the mirrored drive to another drive(3rd),then either replace the bad drive and then make a new raid 1

can you people stop using this argument over and over again?
no, it's not backup. yes, it lowers the risk of losing data because of disk failure
>Software isnt portable
by software i meant OS software. it's 100% portable (yes, i checked)
i was just asking if OS will notice if i manually copy the missing files or treat them as unused space
but whatever, i have a better idea

Raid 1 does not offer parity , it offers fault tolerance.
>disk failure
If you call have 3 spare tires on your car,reliable,then sure.
I can have 3 disk drives fail on my raid-6 and my hot swaps will take care of it for me. me none the wiser till i check my raid tool.
raid 1 wont do that.It requires manually removing data to a third party,and then adding a new disk
If your os is on this,i would backup your media and user profile and do a fresh install,because you dont know what the other drive was doing when it died,and you could have corrupted system files .
Where can I find a not completely jank download of the freedom app for android? Preferably like 1.0.7 I guess.
>>54279212
just open a claim
>>54279263
>It requires manually removing data to a third party,and then adding a new disk
i'm absolutely fine with that as long as all the data is safe
>my raid-6
you're talking about portability when i'm the one who can unplug one of my HDDs, plug it to any other PC and it'll work fine while you have to trouble yourself to extract all the data from just one HDD
also afaik RAID6 offers only two disks to fail
What models do i look for when shopping for a file server HDD? The only brand i know is WD Red.
"Server disk" is a bit too broad of a search.

Im not retarded enough to put my os on a raid array of any type.
OS is replaceable,your media/data you want should go an raid arrays so you dont lose it,because as you know,an os is easily reinstalled,where as your data,isnt.
>raid six
On the chance i lose 3 drives,and i dont have any hot swaps,i have solance knowing that that array is backupd daily to another raid 6 array with just as many hot swaps.
So in the likelyhood that 6 drives fail all at once,then sure, you got me, you bested me with your raid 1

So after a windows update (using 10) last week, I'm noticing now my computer boots up from shutdown in like 5 seconds. Where as it used to take upwards of a minute +, and then when I was logged in, windows would take a while to get situated etc.
It feels like I now have the speed of an SSD.
What the fuck happened? Did they really add some kind of miracle performance upgrade in the latest update?
I installed Windows 10 on a new SSD because muh gaymes, and I got the iso from Microsoft officially. It's not "genuine," though. Will Windows 10 really get on my shit for that or will I be fine (NSA aside)?

I've been typing terms into the firefox extension searchbar for the last 15 min but I can't get it to return what I'm looking for.
I don't know if this is even a thing.
you know how a page defaults to pure white before it loads or if you open up a new blank tab? can that white default be changed? I have a CSS script that changes white to light grey once the page loads, but it's still pure white before the page loads and for new tabs. at night, the flash of pure white is killing my eyes. for FF, mac if it matters.

Hmm, it just seems like since I've heard nothing of this sweet update, that it must be something wrong with my computer.
Like perhaps, it's not actually shutting down when I ask, but actually hibernating or something. But My programs etc are all closed when it comes back on, so that can't be it?
Unless I have some kind of sweet ass virus on my computer that does not want it shutting down and mimics a shutdown so it can stay running without being interruppted by reboot.

better drivers/wattage or better performance?

I've been trying to install the drivers for Wi-Fi for my laptop after a fresh SSD win7 install (hp pavillion dv6)
I tried both Ralink & Broadcom drivers for HP dv6 win7, but both crash after unpacking files. Compatibility modes don't work, I reinstalled win7 from another image, and it still doesn't work.
Other drivers and programs install fine. Am I being stupid here? Is there any way to install them manually in an idiot-proof way?
Alright /sqt/, I need help choosing a new laptop to buy, and I can't buy a desktop PC.
I'd use it mostly for gaming and watching movies, and it's preferable if it had a 17~ inches screen. The price should be from $800 to $1200.
I was looking for some of them on the internet, but I'm somewhat of a layman, so I don't know what to choose based on the specs and the price.
Is any of these in a reasonable price for what they're? Thanks in advance.

>>54281089
I'd avoid the first one due to its low resolution. Where are you planning to use this? 17 inch laptops are really unwieldy.
Does anyone have the image or the link to the /g/'s recommended software (or something along those lines cant quite remember)
>>54281137
cant see shit on a '15
>>54281137
I would avoid the first one due to NO GPU.
He basically wants a Desktop in a laptop, that's why he's going for 17". Which is retarded, he's gonna be stuck with this shitty laptop for years to come with a GPU that's already dated and was only midrange on launch. I don't know why people like throwing away thousands of $ on this garbage.
To the OP, if you need a computer outside your house - buy a cheap notebook. Save money for a desktop. If you're gonna go for a laptop because you're in college and ashamed of owning a desktop or something retarded like that, you are a stupid normie and you deserve shit performance.
>>54281188
Man, I wish we had a sticky with a link to a wiki which contains all of that crap.
>>54281226
I want a 17" not because I want a desktop in a laptop, I want it because most if not all 17" laptops have the numpad, which I use to play certain games. I can't buy a desktop because I don't have where to put it in my fucking house, because I live with other people and this isn't the main subject. I want a laptop because I like to be able to play and do whatever I want to everyhere I want to.
>>54281137
They are kinda big, but still better than nothing, right? I need a laptop that have the numpad.
>>54280641
that is pretty much it, but it will still "drop out" to white momentarily right before a slow-loading page finally loads.
again, this is a big improvement and I'm totally using it, but it looks like maybe a bit of a white flash is unavoidable? oh well.
super appreciate the help, though, bro. I hope I don't sound ungrateful, because I am. I'd have never found that stuff on my own. please accept this picture of a bike made out of tubes.
>>54275601
Does anyone have any good tutorials to programming full-fledged games (doesn't use console, uses actual graphics) in C++? (using your own engine and not some gamemaker shit?)
>>54281089
Don't make the mistake of thinking a GTX 960M is anything close to a GTX 960
>>54281285
You can get a standalone numpad. My employer's accountant carries one in their laptop bag. There's even mechanical ones.
Ok guys, I want to build my own computer entirely from money I earned from working, which I will be doing for the first time. The computer I currently am using is one that my dad paid for when I was in my freshman year of HS, although I've purchased a GTX 660 since that time (the whole computer is 4 or 5 years old) which has been in for 3 years or so, so it's not really a piece of shit but I want to be able to have something that's really mine that I earned myself. I want to put 3 1tb drives in the computer for storage, but I want them to be 3 separate chunks of 1tb each, which is where this question comes into play.
What I planned to do was use one drive (an SSD0 for booting the operating system, have another drive where all of my system files and stuff go to (a C drive so to speak), then another drive for storage (movies, music, tv shows, whatever) with the 3rd basically just being spillage for the 2nd drive. Would this be possible? If so, how? I wouldn't really consider myself a computer genius which is why I came here to ask this.
Thanks in advance, friends.
>>54281341
That's the problem with me: I can't tell the difference between none of them, so I have a hard time choosing.
>>54281354
I didn't even knew that standalone numpads were a thing. I guess I'm not the smartest person out there.

Someone help pls
Is it normal?
How are these temperatures?
This is is under heavy load processing video.
Tcase for this CPU is 81.3 c
I am doing something risky to my os (windows 8.1) so I was told to make a system image on external hard drive
the problem is, don't you need the os to be working to do a system image recovery in the first place?
I cannot find a way to do the recovery from boot or anything like that
>>54281529
If it isnt crashing.Yes.
>>54281598
80c under load is fine
>>54281621
Guess I'm going to have to download some more ram then, since its crashing my android emulator.
If I do dual boot of windows 7 and ubuntu, will the person who logs in win 7 be able to acess my files that I saved on my ubuntu personal folder?
>>54281616
the term you're looking for is imaging and it's a bit different than system recovery. when you image a disk it literally takes a snapshot of the drive and you can later load that image onto the drive if you want and have your system back like it was. the program you want is clonezilla
>>54281653
no

Did a clean install of w7 yesterday and some of my fonts(caladea in this case) look bad, Tried reinstalling my video drivers and using cleartype but that didn't fix it
>>54281631
Really? That's only 1 degree off from the Tcase.
>>54281692
I've done it through windows and it's literally called "system image recovery", maybe i just didn't explain it properly
I have already taken the snapshot or whatever and made the image
what I'm asking is how am I supposed to restore the image if my os is fucked up, seems like i need the os to restore it, and yet my os fucking up is the only reason i would need to restore in the first place so its a catch 22
Gonna buy a 908Ti, what brand cools best?
EVGA ACX, Asus Strix or Gigabyte Windforce?
I'm having some really alarming issues with my GPUs lately. Arma 3 will usually load into a scenario but the graphics will have tracers or other absurd issues like pic related.
Many other games like Battlefield 4 and Grid Autosport won't even refresh the screen on start of heavy load. Crysis 2 crashes after about 8 seconds of heavy gameplay.
This is all quite unusual considering I've played on these cards for about a year with AAA games like GTAV at 4k. I've already updated the drivers and it didn't help the problem.
R9 390x 8gb MSI gaming edition crossfire
i7 5820k 2011v3 cpu stock clock
16Gb DDR4
EVGA FTW Full-ATX mobo
ect ect
What the fuck is happening to my GPU's?
>>54281722
Your temps are fine.Hovering around 80c-85c is fine,If you;re pushing towards 90c then you'd need to look at your cooling,oc settings etc
>>54281723
no you don't want the windows system recover, it's shit and you have to be able to at least get windows to try to boot. with clonezilla you can fix shit no matter how badly you fuck windows because you boot directly from clonezilla then locate wherever you put the image, and tell it to restore or whatever terminology it uses.
>>54281089
Pick the one with the best specs that suits your needs and go for it. I recommend Asus laptops, they run quite well. I am typing on one I have used for +4 years.

is there a way to force a specific tab/website to play music without having to view the tab
I made a VERY simple program in Automator (basically a batch file) that opens three new tabs in the default web browser. It's meant to be a kind of relaxation button, but when it opens the sites, you have to click through the individual tabs to load them in and start the audio. Is there a way to make it start automatically?

Can anybody recommend some books on computer graphics for compete beginners? Reading Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice (3rd ed) atm and it's pretty good, but I'm just wondering if there's anything better out there. I'm completely fine with linear algebra and statistics, so it needn't be overly simple.
>>54281806
I have a 4k TV and 1440p monitor and I prefer playing at 1440p tbqh since I can play at max settings (think Division with HFTS) and still maintain 40+ fps, whereas on my TV it's unplayable upper 20s. If you're fine with dropping a few settings to get playable fps on AAA games, by all means go for 4k.
>>54281863
I doubt sata ssd's will be a thing soon.m.2 are a fuck ton faster,and some mobo's have a dedicated m.2 to not interfere with the main slots.
If you're looking to buy,get a 850 evo/pro

No, you double moron. Put aside the $50 and buy a fucking space heater, you're going to end up wrecking your computer which will cost way more.

You'll get less than 200 watts from that under load. It won't make much difference. Better to always have hot drinks and food on hand and a blanket.
>>54281769
>>54281760
Thanks man, will look into it.

If installed correctly, leaving it at 100% load in cold weather won't break anything. The sleeve bearings may get a noisier sooner.
Why do certain websites cause really high CPU usage in chrome? I got my hands on a Toshiba Chromebook 2. (Plz no bully, got it for a steal and its am awesome browsing/note taking machine that gets 14hrs on a single charge)
It has a dual core 1.4ghz Intel Celeron, 4gb ddr3, and is pushing a 13.3" 1080p panel. The website in question is the fextralife wiki for Dark Souls 3 game. Even only having 1-2 tabs open spikes the CPU to 95%-100% usage and the fan kicks on. Browser becomes a little sluggish.
Meanwhile on this same machine, I can stream a 720p video from youtube, with 5 Chan tabs open and the cou peaks at maybe 60% usage.
>>54282982
>1.4ghz Intel Celeron
Found your issue.
>>54282982
Old 2gb 1.7ghz thinkpad user here, the homepage of that site runs a bit sluggish in chromium for a bit but it's fine. I suppose you have to remember that wiki websites are usually bloated to all hell with content. Lots of wikia pages come to mind.
>>54283038
I know the CPU is low power, but that's why I also posted the fact it can run multiple tabs and a YouTube video simultaneously without going beyond 60% CPU usage. It's only wiki sites.
>>54283041
Yea I guess you're right. I mean even my thinkpad T420 with an i7-2620m sees higher than normal CPU and RAM usage while on the same wiki. Doesn't pin to 100%, but still.
Is there anything I can do to the chrome browser? I'm on chrome OS (again plz no bully, Linux sucks for this model) so OS optimizations are out of the question.
Is a 5400RPM HDD bad?
>>54283101
You can cut down on userscripts and active extensions. Otherwise you're fucked, consider modding ChromeOS.
>>54283101
You're running a CPU that's slower (even with two cores) than what was acceptable back in 2002.
Your memory and everything else might be up to par, but you forget that it's still a 1.4ghz in everyday applications. Also you're running Chrome.

How come the screen of Macs are so great? What should I look for if I want the same quality in other laptops? What's the name of this technology?
>>54283182
I forgot to mention. This CPU is the Celeron N2840. It runs at 2.1ghz and boosts to 2.6ghz. Problem is the wiki site is making it hit 100% usage so I think it's throttling to 1.4ghz. It's only the various wiki's though. Maybe it is as the other anon said and the wiki site is just loaded with a bunch of garbage.
Plus as much as I know what you're getting at, GHz doesn't mean everything. A 1.4ghz from today would still beat a 2.5ghz+ from 2002.

I'm afraid my SSD is shitting the bed but I'm not sure. Downloading large files, like updating or downloading a game on steam for instance, makes my computer virtually unusable till it finishes.

What are you on about? Games benefit from being installed to ssds. Much faster load times and even in extreme circumstances more fps. Like for instance in Skyrim with a bunch of mods, an ssd can make the difference between 10 sec load times or a full minute.
