>finally get myself a second monitor for the first time im my computing life
>tfw now shitposting in Stereo
Fuck, this really is much better than using just one monitor.
put one in portrait, you will never be able to live without it
>>52480792
for vhat purpose?
>>52480368
uhh good man, you're like 10 years late to this fad.
Nowadays big high dpi monitors are cheap, modern operating systems have good ways to manage side-by-side and even corner windows within a single screen, and dual monitor makes no sense.
have fun with your bezels and watching video on a small screen...
1) I upgraded to the awful shit called windows 10 because it's just inevitable in the long run
2) w10 forces an antivirus to be running all the time, if not a custom one then it runs windows defender
3) therefore, if I have to run a stupid antivirus anyway, I might as well run something worth running instead of the objectively shit defender
>comodo
I'm impressed with its UI and features, but it nannies too much (even complaining about processes trying to start another process as if that's a red flag) and has a pretty bad performance hit on file reading
>avast
Ad popups, pleb av #1 and therefore huge attack surface increase because people will be writing exploits against avast the most, feels very thumbed down and overly noob-friendly
>qihoo 360
Oddly (given it's chink stuff) good UI and features but causes bugs and warnings in my system like my firewall not starting and errors in event logs
>bitdefender
Simplicity is nice but having no configuration at all is overdoing it, also window glitches (showing up in alt-tab without being opened and such)
>avira
Not bad but slow as fucking fuck and loves to run unstoppable scans every time it runs into the same false positive like a retard, also occasional ads
>nod32
The holy grail of AVs but scouring shady russian blogs for an hour every month to find new fucking keys got on my nerves
What to try next? Programs that are barely known or used like g-data, kingston av, etc etc are an automatic no for obvious quality reasons. What matters is that it doesn't nanny too much (I'd just use clam sentinel if it wasn't so overactive with the scanning) and that if it finds something suspicious, it asks me what I want instead of just deleting the file and breaking my work. Also performance counts: I don't like it slowing down my git repo manager every time I open it and such even after an initial scan showed everything's clean.

I'm trying to make a simple like button. I've spent about 2 days non-stop on dealing with this cursed nigger code and I'm ready to fucking kill myself.
Like button:
> <input type="image" src="img/like.png" alt="Like" value="Like">
> <input type="hidden" name="IP" value="<?php $_SERVER ["REMOTE_ADDR"] ?>">
Gay PHP/MySQL:
> <?php
> if (!empty($_POST)) {
> $connection = mysqli_connect ("db_like");
> $statement = mysqli_prepare ($connection, "INSERT INTO Like (User, PageId) VALUES (?, > ?)");
> mysqli_stmt_bind_param ($statement, "si", $_POST["IP"], $_GET["id"]);
> mysqli_stmt_execute ($statement);
> exit;
> }
> ?>
It's here that I just want to display the amount of likes on the page with the corresponding like botton:
> $connection = mysqli_connect ("realhdgi_like");
> $statement = mysqli_prepare ($connection, "SELECT * FROM Like WHERE PageId=$_GET["id"];");
Which gives me this error:
>Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '"', expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or number (T_NUM_STRING)
WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN? SPEAK ENGLISH YOU SATANIC MEXICAN

I see where the error is, but first tell me, what do you want to create?
>>52479837
A special video site where clicking the like button redirects the user to another random video. So does the dislike button, but I don't count the dislikes as they don't matter.
>>52479891
In strings to access array elements you don't use $a["b"] but $a[b]. Yes, php is weird. That'sthe error.
Also, what are you doing? You are sending a hidden field with the IP addr that anyone can change. I could just spam your site with IP addresses.
Also there's SQL injection everywhere.
I would VERY STRONGLY advise you to forget about this code and use Laravel. PHP is a big mess with no design and it creates very messy code without a framework.

I want to learn a scripting language. I want something more advanced than bash (which I already use extensively).
Python, Ruby or Perl? Why?
>>52479493
Python
>>52479493
Python, because it is easier for noobs and Perl is gibberish.
Ruby if you plan on using it for web stuff, Python if you plan on using it for anything else.
>Why?
Because turns out Ruby isn't as good as everyone thought it was, but still has the best tools for anything web-related, Rails in particular. Python is good at almost everything, while perl is... perl.
How can i use a proxy to access blocked sites at uni? I think i got it, but i have no way to test if it would work because im at home now.
That depends, how and what do they block
>>52479573
They block everything but email, Reddit and news pages. When you try to access anything else it instead displays a message saying "X is blocked because it is in category entertainment/arts/Y".
why not create a vpn instead and use your home internet?

how many people here have legitimately had a cpu fail? What's the longest time one has ever lasted? It might just be because im so young (21) but i've never had it happen. my old e6750 core 2 duo racked up about 80,000 power on hours before i retired it, and i know there's still people running phenoms and shit that have been overclocked since they popped them in. That and RAM are the only 2 components i have never had to replace, even burned through a monitor. Seems these things pretty much last forever if you treat them right.
>>52479361
Yes on a laptop twice.
CPUs generally don't die on their own. To kill one you have to significantly overvolt it, bend its pins (provided it's a PGA), or just smash it.
i've only seen it once where a cpu failed post b/c dead cache

Best Cherry switch for gaming?
>>52479230
Switches are entirely subjective. There is no "best" switch for anything. Get a switch tester to see which you prefer.
We are now in the year 20[16], the entire world seems to be moving toward wirelessness. Will the personal computer and laptop become obsolete technology?
Will we all be able to interface with a giant supercomputer, by way of micro-electronic handheld technology? This is an interesting concept to consider. Will we all have the ability to access and process information by mobile telephones, or some type of miniture handheld technology? This will become a possibility.
Software and computer companies all over the planet are investigating and researching the possibilities and application of wireless information technology. Asia and Europe at this time are at the forefront in the race of wireless information exchange.North and South American companies are working fanatically to play catch-up in the world of wireless infomation networks.
NTT-DoCoMo, the innovators of the I-Mode cellular telephone who have approximately 13 million Japanese linked to the information superhighway are in the leadership position for this type of technology. People can now transmit e-mail, check financial activity and browse the internet through their mobile phones. But this is just the tip of the iceberg as far as possibilities are concerned.
Imagine one day of having the activity to accomplish all your daily tasks anywhere at any time without having to be at a particular location to achieve a certain task. In today's fast paced society people want unlimited flexibility and mobility, this is now mandatory for virtually every aspect of human progress.
Almost everyone possesses a cellular telephone, and the subscription number is expanding exponentially. One day we will all be wireless and this is a fact. One day we will be able to do almost everything by remote control, with a multiple array of digital handheld devices.
What will the implications be for humanity?
Who will benefit and who will suffer?
These are the important questions that we as a society must seriously ask ourselves.
tldr
first question: no
are you ok
Great thread op, i applaud you.
Can you recommend any C# tutorial for someone who already learned Python?
Bump. I'm looking for something like this too.
Microsoftvirtualacademy have something like that but it's so written for completely noobs.
what you wanna learn? c# is comfy af
>>52479127
I just want to know how to define functions, objects, loops etc. in C#.
So I gopt this computer that has some weird issues.
-Time almost never stays sync'd. Randomly will go to a totally wrong time and other times it gives an "timeout period expired" error when manually syncing the time, but if you click "Update Now" a few times, it suddenly updates just fine after a few tries.
-Doesn't stay in sleep mode. I put it into sleep mode and just randomly it wakes itself back up.
-Sometimes doesn't start up. Just seems to do nothing. No bios, no boot screen or anything.
-Recently also just completely freezes for some reason sometimes when I pause Netflix. End up having to restart it.
Not quite sure what the problem is right now.
Test RAM, test hard drive, check all your settings. In the BIOS there are settings for low power states (suspend), make sure they are set accordingly.
If you have a CMOS battery, replace it. Otherwise make sure your time sync server is working, perhaps just try another one and see if it keeps.
>>52479755
Will test those. BIOS has been untouched and is all defaults. CMOS battery was replaced already and I have tried other time sync servers. Same problem.
>>52479688
Wait, is this a desktop or a laptop? Is it running Linux or Windows? If laptop, did you remember to clean it out and check all the fans are running? Is it making any noises other than static fan noise? Get a program to check temperatures and rerecord them. If windows, check the event viewer to see if any errors or even warnings (although these are generally useless) sound like they relate to a program stalling.
What drivers are you using? What's the specs? Did you change the thermal paste on all syncs with a proper proportion and new paste? Did you clean it properly using some q-tips and rubbing alcohol?
Why do torrent uploaders always create these files when Windows can't natively read them?
Just use infekt or jane.
They're not intended for Windows users.
They're not intended for users at all.
Scene releases are intended just for the Scene, the fact that they "leak" to the rest of us mortals is just the way things are.
if it contains info about the show or movie it's most likely for media center software

If you're looking for purchase advice, READ THE BUYERS GUIDE FIRST. Then post, stating budget and requirements (e.g. size and performance).
Don't buy anything OTHER THAN T, X AND W/P SERIES if you want the Real ThinkPad Experience™
Recommended models:
T420 - 14", normal size
X220 - 12.5", lightweight

Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>They’re really cheap when you buy a used one.
>Keyboards feel excellent while typing (yes, even the newer ones).
>Great durability thanks to the inclusion of rollcages and use of glass fiber reinforced plastic for the chassis. The keyboard is splash proof and spilled liquids will drain out.
>Utilitarian design - e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking solutions that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for almost every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing on the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.
