I have an ipod touch 4th gen, 64gb, on 6.1.6 that's super old and I forgot about. I wanted to use it but itunes is a hellish thing that shouldn't exist. I remember something about flashing a custom rom into it or jailbreaking it, but don't remember the name, I scrounged up rockbox, which is a player, but can't find the ipod touch in manuals section. I just need a general direction on what to do. Should I jailbreak it?

why won't IIS 8 application pools let me change the identity to a custom user

I'd like to connect it to Clementine, remove and add apps freely and maybe use a custom music player. I think this requires jailbreaking. Should I just suck it up and not do it? Just use some other non itunes application to put my music in and be done with it? Would anyone know the suggested methods to jailbreaking that device? A lot of the google results seem outdated so I'm skittish.

How serious are RAM manufactures about their lifetime warranties? Is it just a meme or will they actually honor it? Let us say that in 50 years, I demand a replacement for an old SDRAM module. Will they, unlike OP, actually deliver? Does anyone perhaps have experience with requesting a replacement for a RAM module that is 20+ years?
Just learned that OEM basically means the barebones product and no cables. Any reason why OEM HDDs are more expensive ($59) then the retail ones ($49)? Dawned upon me that I bought the former months ago and wondering why it came in some generic cardboard box.
>>53894471
Lifetime usually means like 4-5 years, like "lifetime" sentence in prison. Its not a humans-life-time...
>>53894471
"Lifetime warranty" pretty much always refers to the lifetime of the product. So if they don't make it anymore, they won't replace it.
Though I have heard of people bringing 50 year old tools in and having them replaced with newer stuff so I guess it depends on if they want to honor it. But I don't think they have to. And anyway 50 years from now I doubt today's RAM will be very useful.

are you looking at the exact same item?
>>53894496
Sometimes it's sold by a different vendor, or they simply have a greater supply of the non-OEM version so discounted it to sell some stock off. For example I bought some outdoor lights on Amazon a few weeks back that sold a pack of 2 for $10 or a pack of 6 for $50, obviously they had a lot of the 2-packs they wanted to get rid of or something.

You do know the difference between tobacco and nicotine right? All the health related concerns come from combustion. Nicotine isn't healthy but it's not anywhere near as bad.
>>53894562
Should've paid more attention. Would've preferred that the drive come with its own SATA cable. Motherboards come with those, right? Afraid of having to buy a third party one only to discover after the fact that it won't fit or not the right speed.
I'm trying to set up a virtualized windows machine with GPU passthrough.
I have two PCIe GPUs and want to use one for the ost and the other for the vm.
How do I get the host to use the GPU it doesn't pick by default?
Both GPUs are nVidia and I'm using nouveau drivers.
>>53894688
>Both GPUs are nVidia
That means you probably can't do what you're trying, assuming they're home vidya models and expensive workstation ones.
>>53894458
I'm pretty sure you can't dual screen from integrated graphics and an add-on card.
both should have been plugged into the graphics card to begin with.
>>53894673
SATA cables should fit universally. As far as speed, I don't know if the cables are actually different between SATA 2/3/etc, but even if they are I am pretty sure it will be backwards compatible so just get the newer cable and you should be fine.
>>53894673
SATA cables just werk, but pay attention to the connector angle.
>>53894697
Hmmm, my dumbass could have done this. Thanks, will check out.
>>53894696
Well fuck me then.
I'll look around and post a solution if I find one.
Would probably work if I swapped the GPUs around on the motherboard, but there has to be a way otherwise...
>>53894697
>>53894746
Enable the option in the BIOS and you can use the integrated intel graphics with a discrete card for multi-monitor. I considered doing that with >>53894688 and will prbably need to look into it again.
>>53894724
>pay attention to the connector angle.
That's what I'm afraid of. I haven't actually opened any of the boxes yet. Waiting until the last two are purchased (case and GPU*) before I open everything up. Of course, this means I don't know which angle the WD drive accepts. Turns out the motherboard I got comes with 4 SATA III cables. No idea what angle those are.

I just wondered also how many lawsuits where exclusively made against 4chan and it's owners and how can the lawyer handle this enourmous amounts of data in some cases and still keep this site going.

>>53894696
>>53894753
I think I figured it out, adding fbcon=map:1 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX moved the tty to the other monitor connected to the other GPU.
Now to set vfio to capture the vm GPU, that seems easy enough though.
>>53894966
maybe ive gotten the term lawsuit wrong, doesnt the governemnt do lawsuits as well?
if so it seems it depends on the country.

end = x + int(raw_input("How many loops?: "))
if(end > 0):
while(x <= end):
docalc3 = x / float(3)
docalc5 = x / float(5)
#print docalc3
#print docalc5
isbyfive = 0
isbythree = 0

What are the cheapest laptops with 1920x1080 IPS displays?
Nothing else really matters, battery life isn't important and I don't need top of the line specs. I just want a laptop that has a 1920x1080 IPS panel.
>>53895155
This, but on my case replace laptops with monitor. And which is better? LCD or LED?
>>53895170
LED is just a type of LCD monitor. LED LCD monitors use an LED backlight instead of a CCFL backlight. They're both LCD.
To answer your original question, the Acer H236HL is a solid budget 1080p IPS monitor.
>>53895155
I think a W520 if you're going used
>>53895170

>austrailia

>>53895196
>>asus makes some relatively cheap ones
I suppose cheap means no IPS, if Microcenter's selection is anything to go by. Acer's cheapest 1080p IPS monitor is around $130, possibly higher with tax included. Rather not stick with the over half a decade old 720p TV for longer then I need to.
>>53895155
New, probably some Chromebooks. They can *slowly* run a GNU chroot that is frequently broken by pushed ChromeOS updates.
>>53895075int(docalc5) == docalc5
This is not really the best approach. For one thing, floats can have small inaccuracies (you may end up with docalc3 = 3.000000000001 for example, which is != int(docalc3)). It wouldn't really occur in the context of what you've written here, but it still seems like a bad practice.
Rather than dividing x into 3 or 5 and checking to see if the result is a whole number through a cast, you can use the modulus (%) operator.
x%3 will give you the remainder of dividing x into 3. 6%3=0, 7%3=1, etc. Try rewriting your code with modulus.

In the past 10 years, I don't know how to type my native language into computer. Whenever I need to do so, I can only a.) type it on my phone and then send those text onto computer for copy-pasting, b.) randomly search around internet or randomly use google translate to translate sone phase, hoping ot would generate some characters that I need and then copy and paste, or c.) buy a handwriting pad, ibstall driver, and then draw slowly onto the dedicated program then to copy-paste those characters.
Recently, I walked into a Apple Store, and tried Mac computers there for a bit, and found that the mobile phone input method which I know how to use is now available on Mac OS. By this, I can finally type my native language directly onto my computer. But when I trying around, I found there's something odd for the input method. The input method's key assignment follow the traditional key assignment on mobile phone, however since the computer keypad have row 7/8/9 on top and 1/2/3 to the bottom, which is completely opposite to mobile phones which have 1/2/3 on top and 7/8/9 down to the bottom, the input gesture is difference fron mobile phone even when they kep assignment is same.
Is there any method to reverse the key assignment for the input method in Mac so that it would ergonomically fit the way I get use to on mobile phone? I have already asked staffs in Apple Genius Bar but they have no clue about it.

Posted this in /wsr/ but got no responses:
So a few months ago, I set up a home server that automatically indexes and downloads torrents and then sets them up with right metadata to stream through Plex. It works great for most TV shows an anime but one thing I'd love to be able to automate is Raw and SmackDown, since the Network doesn't put them up until weeks later.
Unfortunately, because both Sonarr and Plex scrape metadata from TheTVDB, which bans all "sports-related programming" from their databases, there's no episode information for Sonarr to search for and download
It there anyway I can get this working? The only workaround I can think of is an RSS feed for my torrent client but I'd still have to manually enter all the metadata.

I know this is the wrong place, but you guys probably know more real astronomy than /sci/ anyway, so here goes.
I observed Mars and Jupiter this morning and from my as yet unverified outstretched arm calculation they were 5 degrees away from each other.
How can I verify this? I know it was Mars and Jupiter because of a finding application and I'd like to know because that will help me judge what I see on screen versus what I observe in the sky. I can barely see anything due to ambient light and this morning didn't even see Antares, which I have (I think) seen before in the vicinity.

stupid question - how do I use Intel iAMT to configure the BIOS of a headless motherboard?
I have a portland-wade 8023 ITX motherboard with the intel QM57 chipset on it and I'm running it with an i7-720QM and 4gb DDR3 1333mhz single-channel.
The board has a single 4x PCI-E connection, but even with a riser cable on that I can't seem to get graphics out of it and I'm thinking it's because the BIOS isn't configured properly out of the gate, so I want to try configuring BIOS remotely.

>>53899849
you should definitely turn it off whenever possible. In windows 10, that's in the bar which comes up when you click the button on the extreme right of your taskbar.
in linux, it's usually controlled via a widget in the taskbar, but you can also access the bluetooth control software GUI by searching for "bluetooth" in many desktop managers such as unity.
>>53899884

there is a bluetooth icon in the taskbar, but it doesn't give any options to turn it off

Press the Windows ( ) key + C, or swipe in from the right edge of the screen to open your Charms.

Click on PC and devices and then select Bluetooth.
Move the Bluetooth toggle switch to On.

linux is super-easy these days; some distros like ubuntu are arguably easier to install than windows.
>>53900279
that's gonna be tricky to track down the issue there unless you can compare against another garphics source on the same machine. you could try swapping out the GPU for another one, or better yet, use the integrated if you got it.
I would certainly try updating whatever software you think might be in error, and also rolling back GPU drivers to the last known good driver.

I'd have to figure out if they ever were updated. It likely does it automatically, and I assume I can download older drivers from ATI's website. I'll give that a shot, as well as downloading Flash. You just saved me $100. Thanks, anon.
>>53896067
Shameful bump.
>>53900335
Me again. I was reading this wrong.
Loading Twitch or YT pushes the GPU to its limit. And that's at its default size, which is something like 480p. Is still probably Flash or driver-related. I'll get on that.

kinda hard to tell without knowing what CPU is being overvolted.
>>53900818
what happens if you run it as administrator? After you run it, is a related process to be found running in the background? Sometimes an incorrectly-started process which failed to create the GUI will still sit in the background, inhibiting further attempts to start the program. Stopping that process can sometimes fix the problem.

>Tried rolling back the drivers

>>53901100
son, unless you overvolt, stop asking dumbass questions like this. If the PSU is decent it will run any CPU at stock voltage 100% of the time, so long as it has enough capacity.

how accurate are these PSU watt usage calculators? i got a 650w PSU and this site says i'll be using 598w http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator

then why didn't you mention that ALL-IMPORTANT FUCKING INFORMATION in your fucking OP?
100% retarded.
to answer your question, then - we have no idea. shitty PSUs are completely unreliable and whether or not it dies on you has very little to do with the specs of your system unless the system is EXTREMELY low power. A 95W phenom CPU is not such a part; it's a decent midrange CPU in terms of wattage.
you're rolling dice.

that's OK, as long as the PSU is from a decent OEM.

get a decent PCI-E adapter if you can find one. Alternatively, buy yourself some ethernet over powerline adapter sets.
