Is it a bad idea to use studio monitors as every day listening speakers?
So I got my modem at the front of my house and router connected to it via ethernet cable in back yard. How the fuck do I turn router into access point(wifi + ethernet)? It just wont fucking work
http://fatsquirrel.org/veghead/wot/linksysap.php
Tried following that but at the third step it stops working ffs
>>54973710
Have someone else do it for you if you're this low functioning. You'd probably do it wrong and it would get used for CP. Maybe the modem is expecting your PC's MAC address, so you'll need to set the router's WAN interface to that.
which plan should I get?
1. 1 mbps down / 0.5 mbps up - no quota
2. 20mbps down / 20 mbps up - 21GB quota
both are the same price. There are other plans , but I can't afford it. Since internet here is expensive af.
>>54973812
Ehh, I'd get the no quota. It doesn't matter if option 2 is faster if you're going to reach your quota quickly. Depends on your average use I guess.
why no clover on play store?
>>54973812
A contract is a contract. If the contract says 21 GB Internet is enough for you, your fucked.
Just avoid quota whenever possible, otherwise you'll shoot yourself in the foot.
Politicians needs to understand that quotas are the cancer killing the innovationmovement in the web.
But who am I kidding? They know nothing at all, so they won't forbid quotas.
Imagine your water supplier told you that 10 liters of water per day is enough. After 10 liters no water anymore.
Sure, you can easily survive on that, but is it really right to do so? I say no, and I'll say no until the day I die.

That's a new one. Thanks for sharing.
>>54974047
So you did change paste of the southbridge? other than that it could be a software error that is causing the immense heat on the southbridge. Get yourself cracked driverbooster 3 and update all drivers, also flash bios if there is an update. Had the same problem. Had the wrong ide chipset driver, worked but heat was 70 under no load.
>>54974047
oh and i see dual monitors? that of course is gonna burn your laptop to death if you keep it like that. The RBoards are not made for dual monitors, just for projectors and shit like that. To much load for it to handle.
What are some high quality monitors?
I want a display with good color calibration, low black level, greyscale accuracy, 6504K white point, high contrast ratio, etc. All that good stuff.
Color gamut isn't important since I'm not doing photography work but the more the better.
In the Caja file manager, how do I change the terminal that opens when I pick "open in terminal" from the context menu?
>>54974187
Depends on what you mean by high contrast.
Most displays are around the 1000:1 contrast mark, this goes for both TN and IPS (the most popular display techs by far). What this means is that your black level is always one thousandth of your white level. If you only want to reduce your black level, just decrease the monitor's brightness setting will accomplish that - but it won't increase the contrast.
If you need a higher contrast, you basically have two options:
1. Go for a VA-type display (e.g. S-PVA). These can reach contrast levels in the range of 5000:1 or so. The big downside is that they also suffer from off-angle gamma/contrast distortion (similar to TN panels; not quite as bad but it still means you won't get very accurate color reproduction out of them), as well as poor response times.
2. Go for an OLED-type display. This will give you the “best of all worlds” currently (excellent color reproduction, high contrast, low blacks, high dynamic range, etc.), but they're still very expensive and also still have longevity issues compared to conventional TFTs. (A good IPS can last you for 10 years. A current OLED display can't even come close to that)
3. Go for a CRT. This will give you high contrast / low black reproduction, at the cost of limited gamut and color quality (mainly due to the age of all currently available CRTs) as well as high weight/space requirements. Even the best CRTs in their day have faded phosphors by now, since nobody reproduces them.
If you must have absolutely no compromises and want the best of all worlds, it's possible (go for high-grade OLED reference mastering monitors) - but be prepared to spend a boatload.
>>54974299
>two options
I also can't count, apparently
>>54974299
Tbqh I'm not looking to spend $5,000 on an OLED. I just want a good LCD panel, something that's at least respectable and has accurate colors. I don't think I want to spend more than 500 USD.
I would do my own research, but desktop monitor information is surprisingly scarce. With smartphones I can easily find display quality by looking at anandtech or displaymate, but no such thing seems to exist for monitors.

On my desktop I have a C: SSD with my OS, programs, and some files, and a D: HDD with my "archive" (all other files, media, program installers, etc.)
Would I be able to take the HDD out of the case, put it in an external anclosure like pic related, and use it as an external drive with my laptop?
Would there be problems with this (when I use it with my laptop or when I put it back in the case after using it as an external)?
I'm mainly worried about software issues that I can't see/think of.
Thank you in advance.

>Any particular reason?
Most of /g/ will badmouth it because they think it's “nooby” or whatever, but ignore that.
The worst thing about Ubuntu is how fucking unstable it is. Canonical is more interested in producing more and more bullshit products that they then have to constantly scrap than actually focusing on doing one thing well.
Take unity for example, it's a pile of junk that will constantly lock itself up pretty much no matter what hardware you're on; when they aren't busy removing features and “simplifying” it in exchange for making it more annoying to use for everybody else.
If you plan on using Ubuntu with a different WM/DE than the stock default, feel free. But if you plan on “enjoying” the stock out-of-box experience, you're going to be in for a bad time.
>>54974753
Alright. Thank you Anon.
>I know for drives that have the OS on them
You mean as files on the drive or something in the firmware?
If it's the first case, I always wipe all the partitions on my drives, so I shouldn't have issues on that part, right?
>>54974753
Neckbeards don't like Ubuntu because it's easy to use, and there have also been some issues with an Amazon search thing being opt-out instead of opt-in. I think you don't need to do anything to turn that off in the current release. There's just an Amazon shortcut you can delete forever. fixubuntu tells you what to do about any current issues. It's all done via free software, so it's not nearly as bad as Windows.
>>54974694
Personally I have an Ubuntu+Xfce partition that I use for playing video games on, and a normal Gentoo partition for work.
Reason I use Ubuntu for video gaming is because most companies think “Linux = Ubuntu” and will only bother supporting Ubuntu if they support Linux at all. (And second reason is because my Gentoo install is a locked down / hardened / encrypted system that Steam etc. wouldn't even run on to begin with)
That setup gives me pretty much the best of all worlds.

Meant whatever you have Windows installed on. You said you had it on your SSD, so it won't be an issue. Just nice to know.

I'm about to buy a desktop PC, but I can only put it on the left side of the table.
Unfortunately my table has side-panels that would cover the air vents, causing issues with cooling.
What would the best solution to this problem be?
Is there a case that somehow manages to have the vents on the right side?
If not, the only two solutions I can think of are having all the heat coming out of the top and/or side-vents that are positioned lower than the side-panels (they start at about 25cm/10in from the ground).
Thanks in advance.

Find a hobby where you actively do things by collaborating with people.
You'll soon develop social skills that you can use to make more friends in other areas of your life (if there aren't any, just find another hobby or a new group to do the old hobby with). This will expand your circle of friends enough that, as time passes, those firends will make you meet other firends and so on.
You will have to actively work on this though. You can't make friends if you stay in your house every day.
TL;DR: Look at what social people do and copy them.

>what is a WM/DE?
WM = Window Manager (e.g. KWin, Xfwm, Unity, awesome, i3, dwm, xmonad)
DE = Desktop environment (e.g. GNOME, Xfce, KDE)
Ubuntu by default uses GNOME/Unity, but if you want something more stable and lightweight I would go with Xfce/Xfwm, but using a DE is also strictly optional.
A DE is pretty much just a collection of programs developed and preconfigured to work with each other well and follow a common “theme”. For example the premise of GNOME programs is to be as dumbed-down and simplified as possible. (GNOME is basically what you want your grandma to be using)
>>54974880
>So Gentoo would be a good setup for, say, a media server and general word processing?
Nah. I wouldn't recommend Gentoo to anybody other than programmers and sysadmins.
>>54974928
>>54974944
I'll look into a small case if there aren't other solutions, but if possible I would prefer a regular one, sicne I plan on installing multiple storage drives and cards that won't fit into a mini-ITX one.
Thanks anyway.
>>54974880
I remember the Amazon thing now being opt-in when I installed Ubuntu 16.04. You can double-check by following the instructions at https://fixubuntu.com/
The Unity desktop environment is fine. Many users didn't like it because they had developed baby duck syndrome for GNOME 2 and it was sort of pulled out from under them when it wasn't available in new versions of Ubuntu due to the GNOME Project abandoning it for GNOME 3. It wasn't long until MATE (pronounced like the south-american herbal stimulant drink) was made as a replacement.
>So Gentoo would be a good setup for, say, a media server and general word processing?
Fuck no. Its installer is so non-existant it's easier to use another distro to install it. Play with it in a virtual machine if you want.

>>54974880
>I mean I'm moving off of Windows to avoid unstable shit made from a shit company... Is it even marginally as bad as windows?
Then I think you really don't want GNOME. It's basically trying desperately to be just as bad as Windows. Red Hat really wants to be the next Microsoft, and they make a bunch of Windows-inspired bullshit as a result. (And by windows inspired I don't just mean aesthetically, I mean in terms of emulating internal clusterfuck architecture like the windows registry)
Personally I would recommend you just try out a few live CDs of various distros to explore the configuration space some what. Try out Xfce for a bit, try out KDE, and try out Ubuntu Unity for comparison perhaps.
Linux is the world of choice and fragmentation, so if you want to explore the different possibilities you can do that pretty much for as long as you want.
I would like to create a small machine that I'll use to install LFS, and later develop for this machine, create my own tools to maintain the system etc.
What kind of CPU I should look for, and how much should I spend on it ? I don't want to spend a lot, but don't want to wait endlessly that a program finish compiling.

Can I somehow format an SD card in windows that can be mounted in Linux?

I think it's hopeless. Next time you gotta twist and wiggle because there's some stiction happening there. Two clean and smooth pieces of glass can do the same thing.

Of course. I only need 3-4 of them, but it still won't support the additional cards I plan on putting in.

Hello /g/ I overclocked my ASUS GTX 970 Black to +37mV 120% power limit, +200Mhz Core, +410Mhz memory and it is stable under 100% load (Firestrike, Furmark, GTA V, Witcher 3) but I noticed that when idling FB and GPU usage fluctuate

Should I be worried and is it harmful for the card?
If I decrease the clock to +170/+330 the fluctuations stop.

>>54975828
If the fluctuating stops when you lower it than obviously it would be a good idea to do that as it would be a safe bet that overclocking it beyond that is what's causing it to fluctuate.

Remind yourself the video game you're getting good at will be forgotten in a few years. For online/multiplayer stuff, it will actually be taken away from you, and then you'll feel a huge void and you desperately grasp for anything that can fill it but nothing will quite the same so you should quit now before that happens.

Being good at playing video games is like being good at eating hotdogs. It's just consuming a product, and even if you win you lose.

Is there a way to set up something like a captive portal without needing to dedicate a system to it or buy extra hardware?
A mate who runs a cafe is literally changing his WiFi password every single day so the jewish backpackers that infest my town down sit outside his cafe all day, not order anything, and hook up to it. I'm looking at ways to set him up with something like aforementioned captive portal, but everything I look into needs to have a computer dedicated to it, several NICs, sometimes an extra bit of hardware, and then some software that looks rather convoluted to set up.
Thoughts and/or ideas?

That shit is so easy to monetize, even if they are poor backpackers some of them will always go and buy something. And it would be fairly easy to come up with some other ways to convert them into repeat customers, like going once in a while outside and offering take away coffee or something.

>>54976470
if you are using onboard audio, the chances are it's realtek and you can just use their software
>>54976476
They really don't, hey. Before he started changing the password, one of them would come in and buy something small to get the password, and then tell all his mates. So there'd be about a dozen of them hanging around outside on phones, tablets and laptops, chewing through his bandwidth and refusing to buy anything. When asked to move, they then just sit off his property, but still near enough to access the WiFi.
Also, this is Australia I'm talking about, so he doesn't have unlimited data. Furthermore, the backpackers aren't the kind to be 'repeat customers'. They're not even 'single customers' if they can avoid it.

He's got an app on his iPad so he can do it without needing a laptop or anything, but yeah, I was looking into captive portal stuff for him, but it seems like you need a fair bit of dedicated hardware and software to make it work - you can just run a program on a laptop or something that interposes itself between the router and anyone else trying to connect to it.
>>54976590
Of course I just managed to figure it out.
It was the Last Tab extension whose only function should be to give me a new tab (speed dial) when I close the last tab, which it does. But that buggy behavior is unacceptable.
I hope I can find a proper replacement.

Aren't there solutions where you could have a onetime use private password login for each paying customer, automatically printed on the receipt or something.
Im sure ive seen that somewhere before.
>>54976636
Funnily enough, you need a captive portal for that. I went to my local library, because they have that EXACT thing - you head up to the counter and ask for a username and password, and you can hook into the wifi for a specified amount of time.
Buuuuuuuuut they needed special software and hardware to get it up and running. HP Guest something-or-other from memory.

Don't know.
I reduced the noise a bit with Waves X-Noise, applied a bit of gating and reduced a bit of the lower frequencies with a low-shelf.
I then did some more de-noising with iZotope RX and fucked around with the parameters until it sounded clean enough without being completely ruined.
It's possible that those programs enhanced some of those frequencies. I don't really know and don't care enough to find out.
Also I didn't listen to what they were saying.

Oh, so the point of the recording is that there is no reverb in it, so it can be used to listen to how a speaker reproduces the human voice "accurately" as if the person was talking in the room (instead of having the reverb of the room it was recorded in PLUS that of the room you're listening in). There's noise because those other characteristics are unimportant for its purpose.
Am I correct?
>>54978713
>other characteristics
What are you referring to? I do not understand.
My guess the high noise is because they're using some mobile dat's pre for the mike and they're not getting much signal because they have a philosophical problem with getting close to the mike and they're in an effing anechoic room.
Which one should I get, will I notice any big difference between the more expensive XLR setup vs the cheaper USB setup ?
Using it mainly for podcast type stuff and lets plays that I want to do, already have a decent webcam for a facecam if I ever want to do that but the stereo microphones in that are not quite as good as i'd like it to be.
Are PCIE SSDs worth it or is it still a developing technology? I don't have an ssd at al, but once I build my new system, are the PCIE ones worth taking a look at?
>>54978826
people watching you on youtube or whatever will be listening to heavily compressed audio anyway. save money, get the usb
>>54978763
>What are you referring to? I do not understand.
Like how noisy it is for example.
>and they're in an effing anechoic room.
How would that increase the noise?
I understand having the mic far away (because it records at a lower volume and raising it later also raises the noise floor), but don't see how being in a completely dead room affects the noisiness of a recording.
Sorry for my stupid questions. Recording is probably the part of audio that I know less.
>>54978826
Depends. I personally prefer dynamic mics that reject a lot of sound. So when I was in your shoes I went for te expensive option.
But depending on the room you're gonna be in, what the rest of you budget is like and bladibla it's completely different from person to person.
Read tons of reviews and stay away from Blue is all I can say.
>>54978826
This >>54978858
But it depends on how much money you have, and the other things you would do with it.
>>54978858
For the sake of people with non-shit speakers, don't listen to this guy
>>54978893

Can you please expand on that?
I was actually planning on buying a Blue. I thought they were decent for that kind of stuff.
>>54973618
can modem be susceptible to thermal throttling thus having your internet speed reduced as the cause of that?
>>54978893
>>54978897
Budget is not really that much of an issue for me, I much rather care for if the extra 100 euro and hassle of getting an XLR version of the microphone and the phantom power supply has a noticable impact on the audio quality when uploading stuff to things like youtube in video's that are in 1080P quality (since youtube tends to recode that and butcher it anyway), otherwise I might as well save myself the 100 bucks and go with the USB version.
The room I'm in is a standard filled workroom, nothing too big, not a lot of echo since it's packed with a lot of stuff and I could always put like something like a curtain around me to dampen the echo if there was any.
>>54978866
Echos/reverb are energy too. Standing away from the mike in an anechoic room... the energy the mike picks up falls off sharply as you get further away, it think like the surface of a sphere increases with its diameter.
Oh and I think the noise does affect the usefulness. It messes with trying to focus on their consonants.
>>54978927
that'd be the first time I ever heard of it, and I've been working with network equipment for years
>>54978964
Yeah, but I don't understand how being in a dead room raises the noise in a recording.

It near impossible for two files to have the same hash under SHA1 so for integrity checking, making sure its that file you're good to go.
For security it depends on what you want to secure. There are much better hashes for passwords and data than SHA1, and it is vulnerable to collision attacks but still very difficult and time consuming. You'd be fine with SHA1 but it slow for bigger files so that can be taken into consideration
