I'm trying to use AMD's VSR to run games at 1440p on my 1080p monitor, but I can't set the games' resolution to 1440p unless I also change the resolution in Windows

>>
>>52559417
Probably not.
Just makes the whole thing more heavy.
If it would fall from your table for example it would have more energy upon impact endagering the parts inside.
I don't know if the fact that they're ERA plates would help in any way.

Okay, take 2. Is there a recommended comic/manga reader for Mint?

>>52559462
Good point. I still like the idea of trying it just for the sake of it to see it it'd save it from a small caliber round such as a .22LR or a 9mm.
>>
>>52559258

Chars are just bytes. Bytes are just 8-bit integers.

This is a signed 8-bit integer
+3

This is another
-2

This is an unsigned 8-bit integer
4

There are 2^8 possible unsigned 8-bit integers (in the range [0, (2^8)-1] = [0,255])
There are 2^7 possible signed 8-bit integers (in the range [-(2^7)-1, +(2^7)-1] = [-127,127])

I'm being forced into going to university but all I want to do is program, run linux and build websites. My university offers the following major sequences: in CS cloud computing, cognitive science and data science. However, I can major in programming and web design in IT. My biggest doubt is how lame a Bachelor of IT looks on a resume and I'm concerned if in the long-run it'll be worth it?

So I've had this 650W ThermalTake PSU since about 2011, when I had a guy help me with a PC build.
I'm building a new computer now, and I've read that ThermalTake PSUs should be of low quality, my PSU is rated gold though.

(TL;DR:)
Is there a risk that this apparently "low quality" PSU could blow components in my new system? (or is the risk high enough that I should consider getting a new PSU?)

You're right senpai, it's been a long week.

Im going to be using it primarily for uni related things such as notes, streaming, watching movies. As well as some casual gaming and older titles, meaning I don't expect to run all the recent games at high or anything.

Even so, the better performance I can get out of it for money thats worth it, then I definitely will.

So is the i5-5200u/ 5500 gpu to i5-6200u/ 520 gpu worth a price increase? Or is it so similar that you probably won't be able to tell a difference?

Would 4 vs 8 gigs of ram be a higher priority?

>>52561932
>Does the style in which you program a website effect its overall security?
Actually, it can affect security. Some "styles" are more error prone. For example if you use Yoda conditions, it is not possible to make this error:
if($password = "somesecretvalue"){
// user authenticated
}


notice the assignment operator. If someone uses Yoda conditions, this would be an error. Now this is an always true condition

>Do hackers have a way of seeing your websites source code?
Yes, anyone can see the source code of the client side (html, javascripts and css). Normally they can't see the backend source code.

I'm currently studying system and network engineering at a university of applied sciences (HBO in Dutch) and I have to start an internship soon. My uni has a company database from which to pick a company (if I don't do that they have to be rated by the uni) for interning at, but most if not all of them are web-design oriented with some making a left turn to Java.

Now I don't have a problem with web design or development, even if it doesn't really relate to what I study, but it's been 6 years since I actually worked with anything close to PHP or Javascript.

How do I tell a company that I'm actually still learning? And what can I do to get my web dev skills (Or Java, even though I'm not too fond of java and would rather have C# or C++) slightly up in at least 1 week?

Make some ftp server, connect them via ethernet cable, transfer files. Speed should be +10MB/s.
In windows, a good ftp server is the one included with everything ( http://www.voidtools.com/ )
>>52563187
Its more or less the core of a modern OS. Kernel is the abstraction layer that makes it possible for applications to work in a wide variety of hardware configurations, instead of requiring programs to more or less need specialized code for every hardware piece they may find.

I have an EVGA 970 (04G-P4-0974-KR for the specific one) and I found that my core clock is like ~1200 when playing games.
But if I crank up AA in the game, it'll go up to ~1400 or so.

Yet that means I kinda just equate in FPS (most of the time). How the fuck do I just force it to use 1400 all the time instead of only when I have AA on?

I messed up my partitioning and now the bulk of the 3TB drive I put windows on isn't showing up, just the partition for windows.

It also looks like ~6-700 GB has gone missing and unaccounted for even in the free unpartitioned space.

once you have to run VMs on a computer your memory requirements can skyrocket pretty quickly. So if you work with that stuff, and want your primary working machine to be a laptop, 12, 16, or more GB of RAM can be very useful.

That anon probably isn't doing that and probably is masturbating to big numbers because this board is full of NEETs, but there is a valid and not uncommon use case for a laptop with a trainload of memory.

>>52563810
this is left as an exercise for the reader

>>52563855
the unpartitioned space can be partitioned and used, yes.
the "missing" space (at least whay I think you're talking about) is because Windows counts sizes as powers of two and hard drive manufacturers count them as powers of ten, since this makes their drives look bigger than they are.

Depends on the server.
You definitely need a firewall. Then close all ports you don't need.
Make sure your OS and installed packages are up to date.
If you're using SSH make sure that's secured.
Other than that it depends on what you're running on the server.

Why 4k screens are called 4k when they are 2160p and not actual 4096p?

I got a networking question.

This is a HD picture of the relevant part of my current network infrastructure.

I have the Raspberry Pi as a seedbox.
Problem is that my WiFi kills itself when it has many connections, so I have to limit the number of connections (15 nonetheless).

This results in absurdly low speeds.

Now, I'd like to add some hardware somewhere in the middle to have both my PC and the RPi connected via Ethernet.

I could take the Ethernet cable out of my PC and connect it to a router, but I don't know if the 'primary' router will still be able to forward ports to the RPi if I do that.

the switch just redirects, it doesn't give or take IPs.
dumb switches (hubs) just broadcast on every port, packages on the wrong destination just get dismissed by the receiver.
intelligent switches (almost all switches nowadays) learn where to send what.

basically everything will be the same, you can drop the wifi on your raspi and just go over cable to your router then

Yes, make sure you put them in the right slots, usually colour coded and alternatively spaced. Check your motherboard manual.

Dual channel is basically placebo anyway from what I've seen.
