Hey /g/.
I'm looking for software that will lock down a phone, and let me teamviewer (Or otherwise remote control it, or start an app) whenever I want. It's a BDSM thing, my sub's been asking me to set up something to control their phone. Any advice? It's abit of a hassle to keep on restarting TV

you buy the phone
you make miui account
contact xiaomi that you want to unlock bootloader cause you foreigner
the account gets privilige to unblock bootloader on one phone per month
you unlock bootloader
you flash on awesome custom recovery - TWRP

you now can copy any custom rom on the phone and flash it
note 3 has cianogenmode, most people use xiaomi.eu global, which comes with removed chinese shit and western languages

there are other custom roms to choose from
anyway, I have hard time seeing botnet being left behind

Private trackers you usually have to deal with maintaining ratio but you get excellent speeds and retention, but of course they are not always easy to get into.

I'm going to assume you don't know how to APK
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/niantic-inc/pokemon-go/pokemon-go-0-29-0-release/pokemon-go-0-29-0-android-apk-download/

Goto settings>security>install unknown sources
download that and you're set. tap it, and it will install.

It's not on the play store for kitkat and down. However, seeing as you said 4.1.2 you're in the MAYBE area, I don't know. You could attempt lollipop but it's iffy. Also, your phone wont be able to do AR cause it prolly doesn't have a gyroscope.

And if you decide to start today, Canada got it today and it's fucking over the servers hardcore. Niantics has no idea what they are doing.

I believe that has something to do with it being 4.1.2 is why. If you can, go find lollipop.

To install you will need to turn off the phone, hold down the power and down volume to get into that mode and you should be able to install,

It's subjective in most cases, but it really depends on where you were starting and where you go to. If you're working with a shit panel with 10ms response time, literally anything is half or better is going to be a noteworthy improvement.

The only game I've played that it was an objective improvement was Stepmania. You start cranking up high note rates and eventually bottom tier panels leave everything a fucking blur which gets annoying at try hard tier levels of playing.

But in all cases you'll probably get blasted by some korean scrub who is 8 years younger than you and better reflex abilities such that the monitor response time won't really matter.

Is there any way to hex edit an .exe to make it use a certain number of cores each time you start it, instead of manually doing it via task manager? For example, people have reported that a majority of Deadly Premonition's instability comes from the fact that it does not play well with multicore CPUs, and is advised to use task manager to make it use two cores. Is there a way, or will I have to keep doing it each time I play it?

Pic somewhat related.

Agreed. Battery will always fail at the worst time, and why open yourself up to signal interference and hacking issues?

It shouldn't impact your speed at all. I'm just grasping at straws here but you could check that your router has the latest firmware update, do a hard reset and reenter your pppoe information.

>>55627445
There's a specific word for a combination modem/router: gateway. When people want to attach their own router to a gateway, it creates issues from double routing. When you disable the routing function of a gateway so it acts like a plain modem, that's called bridging mode. You usually lose administrative access to the gateway when it's in bridging mode unless you hard reset it.

>>55627615
You mean a WAN port, and you're wrong. You connect the gateway's LAN to the routers WAN no matter what, but if you don't enable the gateway's bridging mode your connection is suffering unnecessarily.

If I set up a limited user account on Windows and only use that account (never the admin account)will I be as safe as when I use Ubuntu?

If not, what vulnerabilities do I have compared to when I use Ubuntu? If there are too many just tell me the important ones.
>>
>>55627588
Yep, latest firmware. As far as I can tell the gateway is in full bridging mode as well, since I set it up the way the manual says and it is no longer accessible via the network.

Strange stuff. Might try resetting both and retrying.

Linux has the benefit of "security through obscurity" meaning that while it technically has a similar attack surface to windows, there are a lot more target-able windows users out there, and therefor a lot more incentive for people to spend time and resources analyzing windows for new weaknesses, so a number of attacks like taking advantage of a malicious wifi connection or exploiting browser weaknesses to infect your system are more likely.

Well that depends on how you look at it. They go about security in different ways. Most of linux's software comes across automatically in repositories that are updated automatically.

It avoids a lot of worry from having to go to various shady sources to download things insecurely or let things get out of date and thus be subject to the latest discovered threats. The rate at which you get security patches is important, and factors in to peoples choice in browser and distro. Of course you also have PPA's in linux and the store in windows, but those are more exceptions to the rule at this point.

Windows has been trying to counter in ways that privacy conscious people might object to, but I can see their reasoning. They've appropriated android's tendency to hash upload any file you execute, and they're forcing system updates.

Don't underestimate the importance having the less common system. If you sit down at an airport and connect to the wifi, you're 10x more likely to be hacked if you are running windows.

>>
>>55628244
sure, different keyloggers than Windows though, in general.
>>
>>55628244
That's a broad question. There are keyloggers you could choose to install on linux with root privileges, and there are certainly attacks out there designed to get malicious ones to run, but for the aforementioned reasons you are FAR less likely to be infected with one.

hey /g/

so I'm building a PC, fans run okay when I start it up but I don't hear a POST beep - just silence. My monitor doesn't detect any input.

It's all new parts (HDD, mobo, CPU, graphics, RAM) except for the PSU which is old (I hoped that I wouldn't have to buy a new one). The PSU is a Corsair TX650 which is probably about 6 years old now. Is my problem most likely a PSU issue and I just have to get a new one?

I have a VIM question.

So far I've only used the program for coding so I've been avoiding line wraps by simply using inserting newlines where appropriate.
Now I started using it to write textfiles for my blog. Now manually inserting newlines and using a placeholder to replace with <br> tags at runtime works, but it's inconvenient because going back and editing text fucks up the lines.
Can I set VIM to navigate wrapped single lines as if they were actual different lines? Lines get really long when they're whole paragraphs each and only being able to navigate those wrapped lines by going left and right is super inconvenient.

I think I've had that before, pretty sure it was just Firefox being retarded.

I wouldn't worry. From a little googling nobody seems to be concerned about it. My guess is that Firefox downloads files to /tmp/ before moving it to its cache, and it treats all non-text (i.e. images) as "bin".

Or maybe you're fucked, I'm not jesus.

Thanks for all the help. Just a quick question: how likely is it that this is caused by the old PSU?
>>
>>55628911
Also your answer didn't really help much, I can't find shit
>>
>>55628951
I guess it would depend on how old it is. PSU's can deteriorate and cause weird issues. Also if the wattage on the PSU is low it might not be enough to power your new system. But it could easily be something else too.

>>55628992
Also if it's so old you're having to use adapters to connect things in I would consider that a red flag

This is really anti-intuitive, so it might be worthy of the thread subject, but is it possible for a faulty network adapter to screw with the modem and/or router? As in, kill the connection for the modem, or knock the home network offline momentarily? This adapter has felt like its on its last legs for the past couple of years (it's really old; only reason why it's not gone is because it took a break from acting up when I actually had money to spare, and there were more pressing things to buy), and we've had problems with several unstable routers and connections in a row at this point.

I suppose that the alternative is that we just have really incompetent IT guys out here, which isn't unlikely since this region isn't exactly known for its thriving tech sector, and that I have bad luck with buying lemon routers.
