QTDDTOT - Questions that don't deserve their own thread
Last one is just about to fall off the board, so let's have a new one.
I'll start with mine
Is there anywhere I can get a nice modern 4:3 aspect ratio monitor that doesn't cost more than $150-$200? I've been trying so hard, but I'm unable to find a good 4:3 monitor around 20 inches in size.
What's the tl;dr/how to of getting a job in computer security?

My mobo only has USB3.0 Can I install windows 7 with USb 2.0 or USb 3.0?
How do I change the archiver in 4chan x? On my laptop /fit/ redirects to moe but on my desktop it goes to desustorage
>>54743219
Your case has USB 2.0? got a PS2 keyboard?
So I was researching about what PSU I need for a GTX 960 and r9 380 when I found this video
https://youtu.be/NTpNZEW31G0?t=4m53s
there it says that both cards have the same system power comsumption, if it is that so why do I need at least 600W for a R9 while the 960 only needs 450W?
I guess I will buy a 960 anyways, just to be safe (I have a 3 years old 500w psu)
>>54743260
Z170. no USb2
At work I can access a shared folder that's on a server (using Windows) by just hitting start and typing in \\servername
What do I need to do to setup a server with a shared folder like this?
>>54743293
Z170 motherboards usually still have 2.0
so, this windows 10 automatic upgrade crap
does it only happen to some people or whatever? I've never gotten the pop-up telling me to upgrade
windows 8 btw
>>54743293
If you have problems with it your motherboard should have a option to fix the installer in the BIOS (Like keyboard/Mouse not responding).
Other than that, you should have no problem.
I'm trying to write a query in oracle SQL but can't get it to work
I have a table like
ID | LANGUAGE | COUNT
7 "FRENCH" 8
7 "ENGLISH" 154
7 "SPANISH" 9
7 "CHINESE" 10
7 "RUSSIAN" 3
8 "CHINESE" 15
8 "FRENCH" 14
0 "ITALIAN" 3
1 "ENGLISH" 2
2 "ITALIAN" 2
And I'd try to do the following : For each ID, get the 3 language with the biggest count, so for the example given above
ID | LANGUAGE | COUNT
7 "ENGLISH" 154
7 "CINESE" 10
7 "SPANISH" 9
8 "CHINESE" 15
8 "FRENCH" 14
0 "ITALIAN" 3
1 "ENGLISH" 2
23 "ITALIAN" 2
Anybody know how to do that ?
Old tower clam dell PC. Can i make anything useful from the parts or should i just chuck it all, save the hard drive
>>54743217
plz dont hack my senpai I love them. Really tho, go to school, there is a lot of stuff you have to learn. The more passionate you are the easier it will be. Dont be afraid to ask questions.
>>54743267
perhaps it means idle power consumption? cuz you can overclock things and then they run way hotter. Not entirely sure though just my two cents.
>>54743442
Never know when you might need another heat sink
>>54743318
Check out raspberry pi for learning how to setup a cheap server.
>>54743442
if you're OK with some morally questionable talking, you can make an easy fifty bucks off it at a flea market
otherwise thrash it (if you really need the storage space that is)
>>54743497
I forgot my snarky image also
>>54743442
I don't think having it on for anything would be worth the energy costs. You may need to pay $15 to get rid of it.
>>54743442
what kind of RAM is it? does the pc still work? you could install gentoo on it and use it as a seedbox or something
>>54743318
I think you need to set up a Windows domain. Home editions of Windows can't do that. You need Pro or higher.
>>54743442
I would just chuck it all. Unless you got some youngens in your family, you can just have it be an MS paint machine lol
>>54743520
I have no clue. Thing wont even turn on.
Ill just save the hink sink.
>>54743520
whats a seedbox? Also there is no ram in that thing currently. Its empty.

I guess ill just post this here, I do not see /lpg/ up.
Hello /g/, I just finished reading an introduction to c++ however i feel it did not dive deep enough into the language. It did not cover vectors, algorithms, etc... it just covered arrays, recursion, objects, and a little bit of pointers. I'm starting to read an introduction to algorithms and an introduction to data structures. Is this the correct next step? should i read the c programming language? Other things the book did not cover that i see being used: typedef, public/private/static, and lists.
Is there a reliable Windows 10 bootloader, or is the current method still "crack Windows 7 and pray the update works correctly"?
>inb4 Linux
This is for a family member that wants Windows 10. I also don't want the Windows 10 upgrade to fail and be like "welp guess we have to return this and buy another one with preloaded shit"
>>54743586
Do you feel like reading that book helped you learn a lot? Did it actually have you apply the concepts learned? Or just make you aware that they existed?
>>54743625
I was under the impressions windows 10 was free? Also, you can get rid of the preloaded shit...
>>54743581
Thanks, but Oracle SQL doesn't seem to understand half those commands
>>54743586
lookup online tutorials that will show you code and get you to compile / write your own at the same time
just reading is rarely useful.

Doing a \\Name\Servershare can be done with any other computer on a network, as long as permissions and sharing settings are right. But generally, to set up a home server, you would need a couple good hard drives installed in a tower with a RAID card, go for hardware virtualization, if you want to run something like ESXI for instance. At that point, put your server OS on your flash drive, and RAID the hard drives however. For a home server check out freenas
>>54743344
Windows 10 will automatically update on machines that have updates automatically set to install, they count it as a recommended update. When your computer does the upgrade, it also gets a "digital entitlement", effectively meaning that motherboard gets Windows 10 for free, even after July 29th
>>54743657
I don't use oracle sql, I use MySQL / MsSQL / Firebird SQL.
Generally speaking you're going to want to do a select with the main table (FROM) being a subselect of just the ID's
(or create a temp table @tbl or #tbl and shove select distinct ID from language_table inside).
Then you're going to want to do an outer apply (or cte using row_number functionality). The outer apply will apply similarly to a left join, but you can write the subselect using TOP.
In the apply, since you're selecting top 3 and ordering by count, it will give you the results you want.
tl;dr:
select [wanted items]
from [wanted id's]
outer apply [select top 3 order by count]
>>54743344
Which means you can run the upgrade, then downgrade, essentially future proofing your machine from having to pay for it in the future, however it is risky to upgrade, I have had countless, countless computers at work because of it.
>>54743665
>>54743639
Oh, yes i'm aware, i did not do the examples listed in the book, i applied what i learned to a a project i wanted to do. create a program to create an array of random integers using rand() and srand() with the seed being time from the ctime library. Then passing that array to functions using pointers and array size by reference depending on the function to have the array change size. The program can sort the array using quicksort (recursion) and then can export or import the array to a file. I guess i could learn to work with strings more. This is without using vectors, so i do not think its the optimal way of doing it, and i don't know if the data is safe because of the use of pointers. I'm still learning.
>>54743766
generally speaking, avoid recursion.
not many shops like it, and not everyone likes the headache of reading that vs loops
AMD or Nvidia for a budget PC?
I got 700 buckerinos to build a PC, but I'm honestly clueless on who has the better budget cards.
>>54743625
Make a image of their computer or just back it up, and reload with USB made with "Windows 10 Media Creation Tool", comes genuine from Microsoft. And now they made it so you can activate it directly with a Windows 7/8 key
>>54743792
Depends how much you will put on the videocard, but mostly NVIDIA will be always a better choice.
Read Logicalincrements.
>>54743792
AMD processor, NVIDIA graphics
>>54743792
R9 380 is the best deal for a new card right now. You can always try your luck for something used though.
Whats the best way to encrypt my hard drive? I'm running fedora 23 on a T420. I don't want any thieves accessing my data if they ever steal my laptop.
I want to remove things I don't use in Firefox (sync, webrtc, pocket etc.) from the actual source code instead of just disabling it, since I compile it myself anyway. Is there any relatively easy way to achieve this?
>>54743789
Nice to hear, it was giving me a headache myself. Still important to know though, i guess.

Is a 350 watt pc psu good enough to sell for 10 bucks for a student looking for a psu?

Can I sell modems that people abandoned? A tech just told me that a missing modem is going for $600.

AMD is announcing their new line of GPUs in 1 week. We'll know then.
>>54743979
I'd keep it around for electronics projects. The 5v and 3.3v are very handy.
>>54743981
idk, but mine cost a hundred new.
>>54743979
There is no standard. It depends on how power hungry their PC is. 350w is pretty normal though unless they have a gaming PC.

The former. Cheaper AIB cards will be announced starting May 30th, coming out some time in June.
>>54744112

i have a slightly older version of skype, the one right before the visual update (6.21 i think)
they keep pushing me to update but i don't want to, and now they've gone and disabled skype home. how do i get it back without updating?

can I swap guts of two slightly different sized monitors from the same series with no ill effects? Ive got an acer x223w that is very hot and going black in one corner, and the circuit board behind there looks dark and heat damaged. also have an x193w that works just fine.

No putting your games on an ssd does not increase its performance.
Get a 3/4tb drive

Why 2 SSDs? and Sandisk X series at that, get 850 EVO.
Get a WD HDD for placeboo effect.

You don't /have/ to use a Thunderbolt 3 plug in a Thunderbolt 3 port. The majesty of it is you can use any Thunderbolt, Type C, or USB 3.1 and down. If you're trying to tell me you can't find a single USB hub that uses any of those connections then the problem is you.

ublock origin (casuals) or umatrix (tryhards). also work on chrome/chromium
>Also is there a privacy friendly version of chrome and firefox?
There is chromium and several firefox forks. None of these are really that much improved, though. You get privacy through add-ons, not the browser itself, excepting brave and opera.
>>54745004
Thank you!
But another question: Will it have any problems on the system itself? Because one is a 2 year old HP laptop, and the new one is a Toshiba Satellite C55-C. They have different processors, and so on, so if I have a "carbon copy" of the old one into the new one, will it work properly? I don't know, I'm a complete layman when it comes to this, but since the old and the new laptops are from a different brand and have different components, will it have any problem?
Sorry for the inconvenience.

You can try iridium or inox.They have patches that takeout alot of google from the browser,still use addons of course
>>54745186
you talk to the wrong people, that's why
>>54745144
You can do a full system clone and move it over,but in your circumstance,i would just do a profile and data clone,and then do a fresh install on the new machine. and then copy it over. Windows would throw a fit if you copied it to a new machine from that big of a difference in hardware.

I'm one of those faggots that bought the Apple Watch. Don't worry, just hear me out on this one, this involves taking advantage of the warranty.
I've got that overpriced Milanese Loop band to wear it with. It's super nice, but I think I dented only one of the very tiny loops, and it sticks out like a sore thumb when you look at the band. I have the AppleCare warranty, but I know it'll take more than that to get a free replacement.
How do you "wear out" or weaken the magnet at the end? A malfunctioning magnet that prevents you from wearing the watch is a surefire free replacement avenue.
How do I pick a motherboard?

Decide what CPU you're going to use.
Look at motherboards with the correct CPU socket.
Buy the one that has all of the features you want/are willing to pay for.

Are there any major differences between a reference 980 and reference 980ti PCB? Particularly the heatsink mounting for the chip?
I'm looking to get an AIO (I know) from EVGA for a reference 970 (which is identical to a 980) but all anyone has in stock are for 980ti's.
Basically- if I buy a AIO for a 980ti, will it mount on a 980?
Thanks

I haven't bought it yet :/ I don't know who makes it.
All I know is it was still avail as of saturday and has been up for a little while.
I just started a new job (Neet for two years) and I get paid friday so I want to grab it.
He just got back to me... Its still available :) Looks like im gonna buy it this saturday.
I have a system with several hard drives that I want to put into a pool and use as a storage area (vm images, plex, backups, etc.)
Previously, I've used BTRFS, but I've looked at zfs and am currently torn between the two.
But that's an issue for another time.
For storage pools, would you recommend having the OS stored in the pool, or outside?
For example,
2 hard drives raid1 with nothing but the OS, and the rest of the disks can be set up however (probably going to be raid60)
or,
all hard drives set up raid60 with the host OS inside, and the data areas managed using quotas so the OS isn't starved of space.
I'm in the market for a smart watch, and I understand the lack of functionality that smart watches actually provide, but in my line of work wearables turn heads and ensure clients or turn heads at the very least.
I've been putting it off for a long while now, but since android wear 2.0 I've been pretty tempted. I don't really like tizen based watches, and I have a N6p anyway.
I was thinking about the moto 360 2 but the dimple at the bottom really bugs me, and the huawei watch isn't big enough for my wrist. Not really looking at the zenwatch, don't like the shape all that much. Is the Fossil Q any good? Are there any better options?

There's about 12 drives in total (14 if the os drives were included), and double redundancy on both sides of a raid0 array was appealing.
LVM over xfs wouldn't provide any redundancy though, would it? I could also throw it on top of a software raid, but filesystems with raid built in are favorable (less wear over block level raid)
Why do companies with big staff of full time coders and plenty of money release games with big glaring issues, and then some amateur modder comes along and manages to fix most of the shit without even having access to the underlying code in a couple of weeks? Are they really just that incompetent/don't give a fuck, or is there a legitimate reason they can't do what the modders can?

easier and safer in the long run to keep the os on its own disks from your main storage pool.
my nas runs freebsd off a pair of mirrored usb disks with the storage pool consisting of:
6x 2tb drives in 3 mirrored vdevs
2x 5tb drives in 1 mirrored vdev
i use the machine for hosting backups/media and building/hosting custom package repos for my other freebsd boxes
if absolute storage space isn`t your biggest concern id consider going with a bunch of mirrors instead of raidz.
mirrors will give you a huge gain in read speed and make upgrading later so much easier and cheaper.
if you go with raidz you`ll have to replace all the drives in the pool with bigger drives before you can grow the pool.
with mirrors you can upgrade 2 or 3 at a time depending how deep you make the mirror.

Raid-60 eats 50% of your total capacity. This is retarded.
Is it raid via your motherboard controller?
You might as well not even attempt this then.Get a raid card.Im not even sure onboard software would support 60 maybe 10 but i doubt anything beyond that.

They have to have a reason to push out patches and include relevent patches so the company keeps its name in the community.

Publishers often require a game to be shipped by Fall for holiday sales. With consoles now being Internet-connected, it doesn't matter if the game is broken while sitting under the tree. They can push a fix later.

Comp will not turn on with a GPU installed. Happened randomly when I rebooted, RMA'd the mobo as per manufacturer suggestion of PCIe being fucked, got new board, same issue, tested with multiple GPUs. I should also note that everything worked fine with my old mobo/cpu/ram (newer stuff is newer socket type). i5 6600k for CPU, XFX DD R9 290 for graphics, Gskill Ripjaw DDR4 RAM (8 gigs in right now but I have 16).
Just about ready to become Amish based on how much shit luck I get with technology.
How do I use something like MSI Afterburner to increase my GPU's power target to something greater than 110%? Like 122-130%? Do I have to fiddle with the bios?

Raid60 is supported through mdraid by nesting raid levels.
Raid6 eats 2 drives, and the rest is storage. That being said, if I use 7 drives on each side, I should only lose 30% of my total capacity, while giving me the ability to lose 2 hard drives from any side and 4 hard drives in specific circumstances.
At least, that's what I believed double-redundancy implied. Did I miss something?

What exactly is the difference? Is the Black, Blue, and Green (not even sure what Green is, just saw it on amazon when browsing). Is it really meaningful or just snake oil?
>>54747131
Blue is consumer, Black is performance, Green is low power, Red is NAS. The firmwares and warranties differ but for the most part it's just marketing. If you want a general purpose drive get blue.
>>54747162
Ah, thanks. If I have a lot of music, like 2TB or so I assume I should get black a la this

Is my Debian Sid broken if after a dist-upgrade the kernel is dated 2016-03-17? Or is that Sid's current version?
>>54747131
Green is 5400 RPM garbage. Only good for archival storage, no consumer should buy it. Blue is 7200 RPM at or below 1TB, and a great value, but 5400 RPM or SSHD above. SSHD is a shit tier meme, 5400 RPM is garbage. Should be avoided. Black is 7200 RPM at all sizes, and has vibration reducing pads. Red is the specialist drive for NAS while Purple is the specialist drive for security cameras. They are specially optimized and not for general use. Gold is very expensive helium future tech. Velociraptor and raptor are shitty memes.

>>54747327
WD is without a doubt top tier but Hitachi aka HGST is also worth considering. WD now owns them though, so I'm basically just a massive WD shill no matter what I say. Lots of people use Seagate, but there are a few faulty production sets with failure rates as high as 40%, namely their Barracuda 3TB which sparked a class action lawsuit.
NAS stands for network attached storage. Typically in the context of a small server filled with HDDs attached to a network. Useful for sharing files between computers on the same network or keeping HDDs away from liquid nitrogen cooled systems.

you can game on 2mbps so it's fine. Latency to test servers usually doesn't matter, mostly used to find edge cases where config is shit and you get 1000+

For games 5MB/s is enough unless its a specific game.
More speed is always welcome unless its expensive.
