So, my LiveWire power strip was making a rattling noise so I took it apart and I found what was making the noise: a rectangular piece of translucent yellow plastic.
Anybody know what the purpose of this is, or if it would hurt anything if I removed it?
Also, is there any benefit to EMI shielding the housing of the power strip with copper shielding tape or is that just dumb?

unless you're using a stupid password, there's no chance of that especially if you're using a key file along with your password. change it regularly. and keep all 3 separate (password, database, key file)

I've only owned a cheap smart phone 100000 years ago and never used it for anything 'smart', I currently have a dumb phone.
I'm looking to get a cheap smart phone on the utilitarian side. So I can figure out how much use I can get out of one in my day-to-day life. So I can figure out if high end phones are a meme or not.
I really don't know what to look for in a s-phone and would appreciate a few pointers to what I should look for in a phone and perhaps a model that fits my poorly described needs.
I have literally no idea what the fuck the market is.

How do people get caught for piracy? Do they send a letter or do police come in your home and take your computer away?
>>54123301
A DMCA agent infiltrates public trackers, when they do, they can see the IP addresses. If they are legit adresses and not VPNs they will contact the ISP with a complaint which will then send you a letter of cease and desist. Failure to comply will terminate your account and possible fine for copyright infringment. Some ISPs will even go as far as installing a rootkit in your machine, a few years ago my sister got caught stealing music, Quest (the ISP) then cut the Internet connection and demanded to you to delete the music or pay a $4,500 fine. They knew how if you had deleted the material becuase they had installed a rootkit via the "free" Norton AV that came with the Internet service. Some ISPs don't care or will ignore complaints unless they are excessives.

I've always booted from CDs and DVDs to fix computers and reinstall operating systems. But with the optical disc formats fading away and computers not including the drives, I need some info about USB thumb drives, which I'm mostly retarded about. Only ever had a 2GB one a while ago that I used to transfer a few files and flash a BIOS.
Now I have a 64 GB one and I want to make it bootable and use it the same way I used a Linux live disc.
Is it possible to have it possible to have it bootable for two things, though? Or just one at a time? For instance, I want it for Linux, but it would also be nice to be able to install Windows 10 from it. Is that possible with a single thumb drive or can it only boot one thing?

But if I get a job in a school or somewhere helping others I have to be familiar with the programs like adobe. I just do graphic shit as a hobby.
I'm still considering whether to do a course in networking or webdev. It's only a little entry-level course though and I thought that at least with networking I'll get taught the base fundamentals about how about... computer networking which I think is the best way to start learning about how computers work.
Is this line of thinking right?
So I'm basically building a new PC because I play a lot of video games, blah blah blah. Made the switch from nVidia to AMD GPUs because I was advised to by a friend of mine. I'm pretty satisfied with the new card (Powercolor PCS R9 390) but for some reason I keep getting an error saying "Display driver AMD driver stopped responding and has recovered"
It's whatever, I'm still using my old RAM and hard drive (I'm waiting for a new copy of Windows 10 to come in to install on an SSD, but that's all future shit, I just put together what I had because I'm an impatient piece of shit.)
I ran DDU and removed all my nVidia shit, uninstalled and reinstalled AMD drivers with and without windows update's intervention, I've checked cables and checked temperatures and all that shit, and just when I thought it was good the motherfucker did the same thing as I was sitting idle with just Steam and background processes running.
I mainly either play video games or in my class use Adobe CC shit. Never built a PC in my life. I figure the problem will be gone when I perform a clean install on a different storage device and get more RAM coming in.
...And while I'm at it, because I switched my mobo and had an OEM copy of windows 10 mine's non-genuine. Not much to worry about since I don't plan on keeping it for more than 30 days, but is there any way I can extend or rearm in case of absolute fucking catastrophe?
Speccy attached. I'll have more than 8gb of ram after it comes in from the mail...thinking that might be the issue.

A few questions:
- Should I ignore trying to learn more using predefined courses of action and just move straight to trying to understand everything using 'view page as source'?
-is all the code used for these sites readily available, or are there things that I won't be able to get access to without requesting it from the site creators?

cout << loc_x;
y_arr[loc_x][i] = ((int)number[loc_x])-48;
}

The problem arises at line 22
y_arr[loc_x][i] = ((int)number[loc_x])-48;

>single digit numbers with no spaces
Why no spaces? This confuses me. Usually you'd have each number on its own - separated by spaces.
If you enter the entire blob of digits without spaces, C++ will recognize it as a single string. You can simply doint width;
string value;
cin >> width;
cin >> value;
and split up the string from thereon. There is no need to have the user enter the height because you can use division. After all, in your scenario the entered height * width must match the following string's length anyway, no?
What am I missing here?
>>54127496
Maybe because the only problem was that you were referencing the array wrong? Depending on the dimensions entered, y_arr may not have a loc_xth entry, so it's hardly surprising that trying to access that entry would be disastrous.
Also, it will crash if there aren't enough characters in the number string entered, so you should really add some verification of sufficient string length there - maybe that was causing some of your earlier crashes that caused you to swap the array indices.
Interested in learning how to code/programming. I know my way around a computer, just not coding.
>>54127576
>What am I missing here?
The string length is supposed to be equal to width, not height*width. It's entered once for each row.
I would say it's probably a good idea to have the user make clear their intentions regarding the size of the array up front.
The current approach he's using of having a single string specify the entire row, with one character per row entry, is terrible, though.
Also, I'm very skeptical of the multidimensional approach here. What you would really want to do in this situation is just allocate all the ints up front in a flat array. There's no need to create a dynamic array of dynamic arrays, it just makes things unnecessarily complicated and inefficient. But I understand it's probably for learning purposes.

Oh for fuck's sake anon. The size isn't dynamic at all. Just read in width and height, create a 2D array and fill it up one digit at a time.
>>54127676
>The string length is supposed to be equal to width, not height*width. It's entered once for each row.
That makes no sense. There is no need to specify string length because it's determined automatically by newline separation.
And if every line has a different length, why the fuck would he input the global width at the start? No, it's most definitely a X * Y array. Constant dimensions.
If I wanted to learn how to make a video game while still being employable, what programming language should I learn?
>>54127765
Im using the dynamic array just to try to wrap my head around the concept I know I don't need it.
>>54127785
>That makes no sense
Maybe I misunderstood your post. I agree that your solution works, and is better. And that the matrix is of constant dimensions.
Also, he shouldn't be allocating each row separately, that's silly.
When you said "in your scenario," I thought you were referring to the way the string is actually used in his current code, in which the string is supposed to be the same length as the length of the row (or greater, though that would be pointless.)

Anyone know how to update a 'Straight Ttalk' Samsung Galaxy III SCH-S968C?
It's currently 4.1.2 and I've never really done this stuff before so I need help.
>>54128265
Thanks, champ
>>54128525
yea. I got mine for that price at Microcenter. It runs great in my media server. For whatever reason though, in Windows after you install the "Intel HD" graphics driver for the iGPU, you're limited to 1080p. With no driver and the iGPU just being listed as "VGA graphics adapter", you can get 1440p.

What are some good and stable k10stat profile settings for a phenom II x4 945 in terms of undervolting to achieve lower idle and workload temps overall?
I tried the settings shown in picrelated from that tomshardware article dealing with this topic but soon as i clicked on "apply" my whole system shat itself and froze completely, basically the mouse and everything else stopped working and my HDD kept making these weird noises and after 5 minutes i decided to do a manual reboot, lucky for me the k10stat thing doesn't save anything permanently so when i logged back on the botched custom profile was gone and everything was back to normal
Also, how much do the sensor values shown in hwinfo et al differ from the actual temps of the CPU at a given moment? Would it be detrimental for me to up the cool and quiet p state/fan control max limit to somewhere around 131F within the BIOS or would it lower the lifespan of the CPU in general too
Basically the only reason i'm even tinkering with this is because firefox spergs out during practically every page i load resulting in the fan kicking in, something which isn't an issue at all in chromium but i would like to keep using firefox regardless of this, tried limiting CPU usage in taskmgr too but that didn't work either so yeah

I have a question about Mouse DPi and Windows mouse sensitivity.
is a 1600dpi native mouse with a windows mouse sensitivity of 4/11 is the same as the same mouse at 800dpi mouse with a 6/11 sensitivity?
6/11 is 1-1 ratio
4/11 is 2-1
Meaning that with 4/11 the 1600dpi mouse feels exactly like a 800dpi mouse at 6/11 and it indeed does feels the same but is it?
I have Windows 7 installed but it's not a legitimate copy ('cracked' with Daz's loader).
If I update to Windows 10 will it remain free or will my operating system eventually be locked down and demand a ransom?
My mpd stream takes like 15 seconds from the start of the song to start playing on my laptop over the internet. This is a really long delay. Any way to speed it up?
>>54130515
I updated from Win 7 + Daz Loader and my Windows 10 is activated.
I sincerely doubt Microsoft can tell or even cares, they rather go after bigger companies with money.
You do have to upgrade from within Win 7 at least once to get Win 10 to activate, you can't just install it like a new OS otherwise it will ask for CDKEY.
Upgrade from Win 7, Win 10 gets online activated tied to the hardware and then you can do a clean install using an iso any time.
>>54130574
Try find out how much data transmission is actually going on in that delay.
Task Manager should tell you.
>>54130599
As in, see if I'm just buffering the data and playing it later?
Not sure how to see that in htop
>>54130692

it will work and you will be able to use windows update. Also, if it has been less than 30 days since your upgrade to 10 you can first "revert" to Windows 7. This tells MS to not sneakily install 10 again on your pc (but reinstall anyways, because the upgrade/downgrade process is known to fuck things up

I tried installing windows 7 to my ssd so my computer can boot faster, but the pc blue screens when I boot off the ssd (I I think it's because the ssd doesn't have drivers installed to it) and now I get Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key error when I try to boot off my hard drive.

I doubt its the ssd drivers. You probably messed up the boot manager. Start up with the installation CD/flashdrive in and use the repair my computer option.
Google "rebuild boot manager" if you need a step by step guide.
How can I see if my virtual machines (Windows XP) are connected to my DHCP server that I made with Win server 2008 ?
They're on the same network on Virtual Box but I probably forgot to do something.
I didn't do anything special on the virtual machines, so that's probably where my problem is from.
I tried to ping it but nothing happens. I tried to see if the VMs gets an IP adress but ipconfig doesn't show me anything.
I'm a retard when I have to do things like these so please, don't bully.
>>54132206
If the VM is pulling an ip, it will be on the same subnet as the dhcp server. The server should have a client table too.

Does the VM reside on the server? Or is it running on another computer? You need to make sure you setup a proper bridge for the VM.
webdev or networking?
>>54132436
They're all on the same computer.
The server and the VMs have the same network configuration wich is "private host network" and shit.
They don't have the same MAC adresses.
The VMs won't ping with the server but I can ping my server from my computer (My main OS I mean).
Hey /g/
I'm running Kali Linux to fuck around a little, but I've always been having huge wifi problems in any linux distro I try. It's because my distro's come with the wrong driver, I'm having the "Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 10)".
But the driver on my machine is for 8169. So I tried going to the Realtek download section and found their latest driver for the 8168, it came in a tar package which I extracted, the package contained a "autorun.sh". However, when I run it, it returns me:
root@PC-Admin:~# '/root/Downloads/r8168-8.041.01/autorun.sh'
Check old driver and unload it.
rmmod r8169
Build the module and install
make: *** No rule to make target 'all'. Stop.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I had a job interview last Monday and in the interview I was asked for 2 ways I would improve on a snippet of code. It was a Sieve of Eratosthenes which iterated through the integers and tested divisibility of each integer by a list of primes, and if none divided it, that integer was added to the list.
My first answer was "use n += 2 instead of n++ so then you're not testing every even integer" which the interviewer agreed with.
My second answer was "only test against primes in the list that are less than or equal to root n, because if a number has no prime factors less than or equal to root n, then it has no prime factors."
He contested me on it in the most unprofessional fucking way. He didn't say "I don't think that's right"; he just blankly said "no, that's wrong." I told him it's elementary number theory and provided the proof.
The interview ended shortly after and I didn't hear back within a week, so I contacted them and asked how it was going. Well, I didn't get it, so I asked for feedback. Apparently I displayed poor knowledge in the technical question (Sieve of Eratosthenes) and was rude.
I proved the interviewer wrong when we tried to argue against a claim I made, and the only thing I actually said that could have been mistaken as rude was "this is basic number theory."
Is it worth contesting this or ratting in the interviewer for his shit attitude and having a poor knowledge of mathematics?
Can somebody check and rate this build for me?

Maybe I should just replace the battery and make it live for a year or two more.

Most often this happens while playing vidya.
>>54133801
First step would be checking the temperatures under load on GPU. Report back.
>>54133801
Set a constant memory clock as variable memory clock can in some cases cause system instability. If that doesn't work, try increasing the voltage to 1.05V. If that doesn't solve your problem, try clocking down the GPU until it is stable. If that doesn't solve your problem, then it's probably a more serious issue and you'll probably have to buy a new card. You could try to fix it temporarily by putting it in the oven, but fixing loose connections/microfractures this way isn't permanent.
