I would like to control keyboard (and mouse if possible) inputs for my Laptop, from my desktop.
What i ideally want is a way to plug a usb cable between my PC and Laptop and have my PC send keystrokes, that will mimic an actual keyboard (and mouse) being plugged into the laptop, so that a script is indistinguishable from a human press. (no programs running on my Laptop).
Is such a thing possible? or will I have to build a robot with motors and have a stick poke the required keys?

My question:
Is a laptop with
>4GB ram
>Intel celeron n2840 (2 core, 2.1gHZ up to 2.6)
>No dedicated graphic card
enough for normie use?
Gotta help gf mom find a cheap laptop, found one with those specs that look abysmal for me, but I was wondering if those were enough for normie use (web browsing, photo archiving and watching).
I also know she won't fill it with malware, since her old one is clean after years, so I don't have to account for that.

I asked in the last thread already, but nobody could help me, so I'll try giving a little more detail.
My problem lies with Windows 10. I simply can't get it to run for some reason. The same happens with Windows 8 too, with the exact same error. The odd thing is, I run Windows 7 without an issue, so I can't imagine my SSD being defective. It can't be a dual boot problem either, since I tried installing only Windows 10 clean, and it produced the exact same error.
The issue is that it always freezes during boot, stuck in the state you can see in the pic. The only solution is shutting down via power button. I am able to boot into safe mode, but nothing I could do there helped so far. Even with networking enabled and LAN drivers installed, the Ethernet adapter is impossible to enable (it says "Disabled" no matter how many times I press "Enable) and it keeps telling me how certain apps are unavailable with the built-in Administrator account.
I installed with Legacy BIOS settings (no UEFI) on an MBR partition. My mainboard is an ASUS P8Z77-V LE PLUS, which distinctly mentions Windows 8 compatibility at the very least. I also tried going from DVD to bootable USB drive, which didn't help either. Anybody got any ideas?
I have two laptops (L450, MBP), an Xbox 360 and an Xbox One I want to have setup on my desk using a single monitor. The MacBook, Xbox(x2) will be setup permanently with the L450 being my work laptop that gets carried around to meetings, and then home.
I'm not some uber gamer who needs 144hz etc. I just want all my stuff together in a neat area that doesn't take over the rest of the house.
Am I best to use a KVM switch to control this clusterfuck and have a single keyboard and mouse for the two laptops, or just use the inputs on the monitor for each device and plug in the keyboard and mouse as required? Any downsides to KVM switches?
Is there even a single fucking torrent for CS6 Extended that's not either some beaner 100% legit file with 2 seeders or just normal Photoshop CS6 that the incompetent shit labelled "Extended Edition" because they're fucking retarded and don't even know what's in Extended Edition?

>>53914407
I thought about that too, and tried another release of Windows 10. Besides, I already used this copy once for my parents, and it worked fine there. No, it's not official, but I can rule out that as a problem too, I'd say.
>>53914433
should i not be?
i've had it for 3 years, i was just thinking about maximizing its potential over its' useful life
>>53914451
Overclocking is fine, I think that anon just wanted to know whether you feel you need extra performance, and if so, for what tasks. Overclocking your CPU probably won't make your games (you have a well-performing GPU, so I figure you play vidya) run faster, if that's been a concern of yours, for example.
Can I use Wake on Lan to start my computer from over the internet? It is accessible over the net if it's on.

>>53914488
>>53914470
>Are you limited in what you use it for currently?
i don't really know, i just assumed it was underperforming compared to my gpu, but if it's not causing a bottleneck despite being so old then i guess i'll just leave it
If I sign into the Xbox app for the first time on Windows 10, would it then subsequently force me to use my Microsoft account to log into Windows 10 on startup every time I boot my computer after that?
So I just installed 4chanX and was setting up my filters. While others work correctly, the filters on subjects doesn't work at all.

Hello Im that guy again from last sqt thread.
tl;dr: My laptop only has stable connection to router when my roommates laptop is connected as well. Otherwise it keeps dropping connection. It works fine in other networks so I dont think problem lies with my adapter.
I just installed the service program thing of provider and when I try to run the test to determine least busy channel, It says I'm not connected to the router even though I am?
i've had my GTX 960 2gb for about 8 months. now i'm looking to upgrade.
would it be better to get another 960 or wait until pascal comes out and get the 1070?
i have a 1080p and 1440p monitor, so the 2gb 960s probably would suck for higher resolution...
>>53914128
Yes it will be enough

>>53915581
Depends on your patience, really. Even if AMD announced their first HBM2 cards for this year, 1. first announcement dates are often wrong, and 2. the first cards are going to be lower-rated. Not sure how it works at nvidia, but with a new generation, I wouldn't buy day 1, I'd wait at least a month or two, to see whether there's any major issues.
That said, buying a new GPU now might not be the best time. When the new gen releases, prices may drop for older cards. But really, with these things, you'd have to be an oracle to know for sure. Personally, I would stick with the 960 for now and wait. Even if Pascal sucks shit, chances are you could get another 960 for lower prices then.
Could I buy from the Excellent tier on http://www.logicalincrements.com/ with most expensive parts in each category except GPU (for which I'll get the R9 390), and then later when I'm in a better financial position get a second R9 390 without upgrading any of my other parts? Like will I get most of the benefits of the Enthusiast tier if I do this? I really need to get something fast for Dark Souls 3 release date but I don't have enough money to buy frm the Enthusiast tier.
>>53915862
>Use boxed cooler and get a cheaper board. You can't OC that CPU anyway.
>Also get a cheaper case.
Logical increaments likes to make everything on one tier more expensive than on the previous even if there is no good reason to get the more expensive stuff.
>>53915581
Wait, cards are coming out this summer.
>>53915962
what's a better resource then?
I have no experience with putting together computer parts, I wouldn't know. I want to skimp out on anything unnecessary and get something by end of next week for DS3, with the option to upgrade later on without wasting parts I just bought. So I should have around €1000 to spend at first.

It's redundant, instead of minimize and close you just end up with two slightly different forms of minimize buttons, close should mean close it for good

Most programs have a setting for that, at least all that I have used that come to mind (jDownloader, Daemon Tools, uTorrent). I agree though, minimise should minimise to tray if that option exists, and close should exit the program for good.

Your cpu is completely fine and will most likely be completely fine for, I'd say, at least 2 years especially if you OC it.
For a GPU, that depends how much you want to spend. But still, new graphic cards are coming out this year and I'd probably wait for them unless you're in a hurry

I can't find a definitive answer if it'll work for me or not
Just need a confirmation

Yes.arch or debian . I installed windows first since it makes it easier since GRUB takes over. but wondering if i delete the parttions and do it again if it will be the same. I just don't want to have to reinstall windows. not in that mood
>>53918611
99% chance it won't break. But if it does, you can always repair GRUB with a LiveCD. Windows loader is allocated elsewhere (a hidden partition made by Windows install) so you can always get it back.
>>53918245
I was looking at a 980 for that extra power.

Question about design patterns I guess:
In a little game I make (C#) I have a objects that derives their properties from "models" like this for example
public GameTile(GameTileModel model, int x, int y) { ... }
My GameTile will derive its color, texture, speed modifier, etc. from its model.
For now I use this way to define my models :
static class GameTileModels
{
public static Dictionnary<int, GameTileModel> FromIds = new Dictionnary<...>();
public static GameTileModel Void = new GameTileModel(...);
public static GameTileModel Grass1 = new GameTileModel(...);
public static GameTileModel Rock1 = new GameTileModel(...);
...
}
I add models to FromIds in the constructor of the models and use either FromIds or the obejct themeselves outside this class to access the models.
However I now find this pretty ugly
and would like an alternative. Anyone got a better pattern to define "properties" objects like this ? Note I don't want to define the models in an XML file.
Sorry for the lack of formatting I never post code.

He told me it got pretty hot and I'd probably need to buy a cooler, but I figured I'd be fine.

I'm not interested in overclocking that much, so what cooling options do you guys suggest?
I keep hearing mixed reviews about the popular water coolers available.
How do I lower my ping without contacting my ISP?

Instead in investing in a water cooler get a new card.

So far i've been mostly using various 4chan boards as news source, but its proving hard to control with all the sidetracking i end up doing.
i guess needed topics would be: political, media related such as chink and non chink cartoons, movies, comics and novels, as well as video games. would really love one that covers various sides of a medium ith the least amount of clickbait.
is there a program that can be used as a hub to let me stay updated on various soial media, video sharing and news outlets and notifies me of anything new after every specific interval of time

I'm very new to git and GitHub. I found a simple issue I could solve in another repository, so I forked the repo and added a branch with my fix. I also added a pull-request to the original repository.
However, now I have two pull-requests: one on the original repo, and one on my fork. Do I merge the commit on my fork? What will this do to the branch and how will that affect the original repo's pull-request? If I merge the commit and pull-request on my fork, will the original repo just be merging the same fix, or merging the entire fork?

you can add a specific rss url to feedly and it'll save it, or you can just search from feedly.com for the rss feed you want and it most likely will find it. also you can search all your old rss feeds yes.

if you can't find it in search you can just add the rss url and it'll work 100%

Okay /g/
So my computer thinks the front mic slot on my desktop, by the power button, is for headphones. And the headphone slot, well I'm not sure what it thinks it is. So when I plug my headphones into the mic slot, they work.
Now I just got a mic, a blue yeti, and when I plug the usb into the back of my computer, the computer recognizes the yeti as a speaker. And not a mic.
So what did I do and how do I fix this?

JSON is damned simple. You have just a few kinds of things:
Numbers: Everything's floating point, double precision. Just write digits, use E notation for large numbers, like 6.5E6 for 6.5 million.
Strings: "Strings" go in "double quotes". "Use a backslash if you have \"quotes\" inside a string, and a \\double \\backslash if you have \\backslashes in your string."
Booleans: Write out true or false.
Null: null
Objects: These go in {braces} and contain comma separated key/value pairs. A key is a name in quotes, and a value is any of the above types, an array, or an object. Objects don't have classes, they're just key/value stores. For example, {"OP": "fag", "posts": 9001, "girlfriends": [], "housemates": [{"name": "mom"}, {"name": "dad"}]}
Arrays: They go in [brackets] and can contain 0 or more comma separated things of any type. Mixing types inside arrays is allowed.
If you're using Javascript, parsing JSON is as simple as putting '('...')' around it, feeding it to eval() and storing the result. To convert an object to a JSON string, just JSON.stringify(myObject), where myObject can be a number, array, string, object, etc. Note that if you put something that has a class into JSON, it won't have a class when you convert it back; it'll just be a generic key/value object.

Dear /sqt/.
Is enabling UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) in Windows 7 firewall settings safe?
I mean, wouldnt it make my OS risk some sort of attacks from malware or scripts?
Sorry for being paranoid.

no it's fine, upnp accesses only windows servers to get drivers for hardware from ms, that's all

That actually looks like it might be fun, maybe I'll pirate it.
Just installed new motherboard (asus m5a99fx) and Boot Device LED remains red during the post. I reseated everything and cleared the BIOs but still no dice. When it attempts to boot the asus logo appears but im unable to enter the bios using the function keys and a few seconds after the logo appears I get a "input not supported" error. Ive tried two different monitors. My display is hooked through my video card via VGI and my only motherboard direct display is hdmi and I dont have an easily accessed HDMI display as it would be a pain in the dick to climb behind my entertainment center and use my TV.
Did I fry my motherboard? Im getting a sinking feeling that I did because when I boot with no ram in I dont get the beeps that I would normally expect. I was very careful to not fuck anything up during installation but I guess things happen.

Wrong. PnP and UPnP are different beasts.
PnP: Normal hardware Plug 'n' Play. This detects hardware when you add it, tries to find a driver for it, downloads drivers from Windows Update when needed, etc. Do note that it might offer to always download additional software for devices automatically. This is usually nice but sometimes a trap. I plugged a MS mouse into my laptop. It automatically downloaded and installed the IntelliPoint utility, which completely fucked my touchpad driver's settings page in the mouse control panel.
UPnP: This allows a program to request port forwardings. Again, handy, but potentially a trap. It allows devices to discover each other on a network. For instance, when Windows sees a printer or TV on your network and lists it in the devices window so you can use it without telling your computer it exists first, that's UPnP.
The UPnP service on Windows lets other things on your local network see your computer and services hosted on it. For you this probably means your computer showing up as a "media device" to other computers, TVs and whatnot. This can be useful if you share media files from it, since things like smart TVs could see them and let you play them easily.

Buy game, get sick of the DRM, go torrent it and play the pirate edition since it's better. Then stop and wonder why you put down money for an inferior product in the first place.
Seriously, don't buy games unless they're DRM free or have a minimally intrusive DRM scheme. Online-required and similar bullshit can fuck right off, even for multiplayer games. Too much potential for the server to go down, leaving you with a completely unusable game.

All printers suck. Cheap consumer printers suck the big one though, as do all all-in-ones.
I've been fairly impressed with how little Brother's home laser printers suck though. There's no stupid tray utility to launch a bloated crap for scanning, printing, copying, faxing, calling tech support and buying ink. The driver is small and is just a driver. Toner lasts a good long while. It usually just prints when I tell it to print.
>>53922619
The printer that I have isn't very cheap. It's also a fax and a scanner and it was released in 2005/2006, but that still doesn't explain why sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

I've already removed uselss software but I guess I need to take some of Win7 OS out.
I'd be really thankful if somebody could tell me what to delete.

>>53922667
>It's also a fax and a scanner
As I said, all-in-ones suck the big one too. I've yet to see one that doesn't blow.
Even the one I helped set up for an office that they paid thousands for and used with XP for a couple years before upgrading to a Win7 machine. It was an HP, but it's in their office lines so it shouldn't be too bad. However, the latest driver they made is for Vista. Their official word on making it work on 7 was to install the Vista driver in compatibility mode for Vista and it *might* work. Of course it didn't. Setup slowly installed the hundreds of MB bundle, got to the end, then went to "rolling back changes". After a good long while of that it announced that installation had failed with no explanation of what was wrong. I eventually managed to extract their bundle and separately install the very most minimal print and scan drivers from it (maybe 8 MB worth of stuff out of a 300 MB bundle). I set them up with 3rd party freeware scan and copy utilities. The result was way more usable than their previous setup using the shitty bloated utilities that came in the bundle. It worked until Windows randomly broke something in the setup.
So yeah, don't get an all-in-one printer. And don't get an HP anything -- if it's a cheap consumer one it will be crap; if it's a super expensive office one you will find yourself with no working driver in a couple OS generations when they abandon it and tell you to buy a new one.
