does dust inside the computer matter apart from the fans being clogged and heatsink not being exposed to air?

hey, I have two tables (pic related)have the get the values from the bottom one into the top one.
How often each code occurs in each year, the values x1,y1,z1...z4 take these values.

how can this be achieved ?

Hi Sup Forums!

How do I know if a language is regular OR context-free but not regular OR non-context-free?

My book is giving me fuckall on this distinction.

Does anyone have the screen shot of when someone asked "how to be a hacker" and someone replied with a list of books?

Any Sup Forumstants here? I downloaded some music album BDMV's off of rutracker and thought it would be cool if I started conveting the DTS-MA HD audio to FLAC, splitting them and adding tags and such. I finished doing so for the 2009 Surround Mix of King Crimson, but I'm wondering if I'm wasting my time. Is it worth converting Blu-ray music audio or should I stick to FLAC CD rips?

Is there anyway to root a xperia m4 aqua. I know xperias are generally dificult to root,but i managed to root my previous Phone(xperia zr) with a one touch root app,but the m4 isn't supported by the app.

Stick to flacs. Unless you enjoy the processing.

What's going on in this webm?

In rare cases it can cause shorts. Gives a nice place for mold to build up, etc.
Also without airflow, not lack of exposure, shit can burn.

Hey Sup Forums Just reinstalled codeblocks (the version with mingw) And I can't see anything even if I compile the Hello World example. what changed in Codeblocks ? How do I fix this ? I get no errors .

Did that faggot cop have his license revoked?

Looks like the cops slammed on his brakes to have an excuse to talk to the driver with the dash cam.

I would like to build a small alarm on my computer that goes off when I exit steam/origin/etc from playing online games, so that I remember to turn my VPN back on before I browse.

How difficult would this be?

Well I'm converting the DTS to FLAC. I guess what I should have asked was if Blu-ray lossless had anything above regular CD's. Truth is I don't know much about CD spinoff's. I got this idea because I heard of something called a Blu-spec CD so I just assumed that Blu-rays had better audio than CD's. Sorry if this is stupid.

No stress. This is /sqt/ any increase in quality will not be worth the effort of having to convert everything to flac. I plain 100% flac from a CD will be more than good enough quality wise.

Cop hits the brakes in the hope the guy will run into the back of his car. The guy stops four foot away from the cop car, and proceeds to be lectured by the cop for not stopping far enough away. Gets a ticket for it too.

Is this any good? And yes im waiting for pascal for prices to drop.

I've got an old Galaxy Ace 2 that I want to give away but it's tied to an operator.
The usual guides fail me and the galaxy ace unlock app gives me no unlock codes.
Do some phones unlock codes never get leaked?

i have _this_, but the phones are noisy and the internet goes down when the phone rings!
is _this_ right? and/or bad~loose connections? is there a better way to set it up with 2 phones?

Hopefully some nigger shot that piece of shit cop later

Is it possible to run a gaming GPU and professional GPU in the same PC and dictate which card does what?

I'm looking to get into various editing. Video/pictures. I currently have a 4690k, 16gb ddr3, and a 980ti. The ti would be for gaming of course. I was thinking of picking up a decent middle of the road quadro card for design work to assist my i5 in its work load. I know with editing, moar cores is moar better usually but for me to upgrade to an i7, it'd be $300 minimum. I can get a decent quadro from a buddy for $120.

Not looking to SLI of course.

How are these things called? It's an amplifier right? Which ones could you recommend?

He's got it all on tape though, can't he sue or something?

I think it might actually be a DAC (digital to analog converter)
I use an audioengine D1, affordable and sounds great.

Would it work better like this?

my gpu exploded today

should i go get a life for a month ? how much will prices drop once the 1080 is released

you are looking on how to pivot a table.
look for whatever database you use on how to do that.

thank you!

whats the simplest way to record text to speech so I can put it in a video

How should I configure VirtualBox if I want to run two operating systems in the same VM?

Would a late 2010 macbook air be much of an upgrade from an acer v3-112p if i could get the macbook for free?

Github removed "Webm for Retards"

Can someone share a link to it pls?

It's back under a more normie name, look it up.

Wanna get a classic pair of floorstanding stereo speakers but everywhere I look is this tower bullshit. Where can I find a good pair and what brands to look for? I was in a thrift store one day and heard a good pair, but they were not for sale.

Out of interst why do you want to do this?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-second_rule

IIRC this law is enforced.

I want to learn how to recover GRUB after installing Windows on top of Debian.

I assume you want windows + linux?
Just create a windows one, when it's all set up, make another partition to have space for linux, then from the virtual box menu you configure windows to launch from CD first and load the ISO there.
Basically how you'd make a dual boot in any system.
That's how I did it at least.

How do I "into" Electronics? I am starting Uni next semester (for CE) and would like to start learning on my own. Are there any good books for absolute beginners? I took AP Physics in high school but we barely covered circuits and electricity.Thanks.

I need a replacement amp for my Klipsch Synergy amp. This one

google.com/search?q=klipsch synergy subwoofer amp&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#hl=en-us&q=bash 300w digital subwoofer plate amplifier

It is not available. Are there any other amps I could use? I have a car amp connected to my subwoofer powered by an Xbox 360 brick and it looks gimped as fuck.

How do I move gnome top panel to bottom?

Intel VS AMD

I can't understand the difference why Intel CPUs cost way more than AMD.
some people say Intel is overpriced.
other say AMD is cheaper but also is worst.
I don't know what to think or believe, any objetive informatio about this?¿

Upgrade 8.1 to 10
network: vmware workstation->ESXi->Sophos (DNS,DHCP,FW)

installed 10, no internet, no ping anywhere.
fixed, surfs.
reboot-> no internet!!
revert vmware worktation to "AFTER 10"
internet = ok
reboot.
no internet.

Only restoring a snapshot solves it.
wtf

reverrt

AMD = moar cores
Itel = better single core performance.

Because:

1)Intel has a bigger monopoly on the market, so it's a more recognisable brand than AMD. When people see the AMD logo, it's usually associated with budget CPUs and hardware. So, brand value does count

2)Intel upgrades way more often than AMD. This is good because it ensures you get the latest technology, but at the same time it's bad because it fucks over everyone else as they need to buy new motherboards that support the new socket etc.

3)People optimise their stuff for intel more.

That's it really. Both intel and AMD have really good CPUs, but if you ask me I'd say go AMD. I'm salty as fuck over intel overpricing everything and changing sockets every year.

I think this is better suited for but:
Both NPN and PNP transistors in my Class AB output stage amplifier are always on (forward active) for some reason. How do I bias them?

I think you need to build as release - that's usually a debug thing. Alternatively you could through a cin in after your cout to pause the program before it kills the process

How do I get a career started in Sup Forums?
I find Hardware fascinating, but I dont know a whole lot of stuff really.
Im 24 and still dont know what I want to do with my life, please help

AMD is always going to be better in terms of price/performance with their products (both for cpu's against intel and gpu's against nvidia), but their products are also almost always going to perform worse than the opposition.

So if you want high end go with intel, and if you want price/performance go amd. In general though, above a price point of like $130 you should be going with intel processors.

Thanks for answering.

I tried to build as release but it didn't solve the issue .
Some user told me that the cout should also have a newline at the end for the stdout buffer to flush.

This was the solution that worked for me.

The wierd part is that I worked with Codeblocks before and I don't remember that this is a requirements.

Do you have any kind of education? A high school diploma, a degree in any kind of technology related field like engineering, computer science... ? Start from whatever education you have from now and take online courses, learn from them. Then try to do open source stuff and use that experience to get into an actual job.

If I toss in a 1x8GB memory stick now can I get still dual-channel when I buy another stick sometime down the line as long as I get one with the same brand/speed/size?

Yes
You could probably do it with a different brand even but its not recommended.

High School Grad, I learnt basic IT classes for 2 years, Did alright in that, Excelled at Multimedia but that was more for my artistic creative side.
But thats mostly faded now
I worked on building switchboards for about 6 months, but that was mostly building little shit, like wiring, heaters, Copper bar forming.
I am horribly indecisive so I have a hard time deciding anything

How much more stronger is the GTX 1070 going to be than the 980?

Not sure, but you seem more interested in something like graphic design or video rendering than engineering. I'd look into that. If it turns out to not be your thing, then you can always use your experience and what you've learnt in other fields, it's not impossible.

Is Graphic design a legit job? I mean like how Art wont really get you places?
I have a drawing tablet already because Im learning Art

btrfs
FUD or useable for root partition stable?

I know some GD's who are _very_comfortable.

What do they do?
Magazines? Web design? Mobile games? Product designs?

now is the time to POST YER WORK

Depends really. Art fields in general are kinda hit or miss, there are people I know who get paid a lot to work in projects and shit. Those people are generally in big companies and organisations, so if you have a way to get into a good company right after you graduate then it's not bad. You could also go freelance, which pays less, but you have more freedom over what you work at, you can work in your home and don;t need to go to an office. Pretty great if you're a NEET who likes to stay home all day. Generally speaking though, the only art people I know who get very successful are the ones who have relations or people wanting to work with them as soon as they graduate. Freelance is okay, but won't get you many places unless you're really good at what you do.

Freelance. Doing all sorts of stuff. One caveat is that they did establish themselves a good a while ago. I can't say much about what it is like to enter the market today. Also, like with most things, who know is going to be as, or more, important than what you know.

How it's possible to vape dry herbs?
Do the herb vaporizers just burn the herb? Do I need to wet the herb with water?

Hi Sup Forums.

I'm a programming-layman and have basically no knowledge, and I also don't really need any besides that I want to code my own Imageboard.
I don't want to use some 0815 Imageboard engine because I wanna add some features which the average Imageboard doesn't have.

Which language/s should I learn for that?

If it burnt the herb it wouldn't be a vaporizer. They heat the herb until the goodness turns to a 'vapor'

Note an ecig, or something you load with a 'juice' isn't a a vaporizer. Or at least the one you seem to be asking about.

Am i anonymous here?

In some respects. In others not.

Which aspects i am not user?

Well I have no idea how you are arriving at this website or what other opsec steps you have taken to anonymise yourself.

How anonymous are you hoping to be?

Look at the lower screen, the speed limit is 25, when the driver goes up to 29 the cop pulls him over.

No,you're not. You're heavily recorded. All your data is being mined by mook to create an internet profile,which is sold.
You cannot use tor
You cannot use VPN's
You cannot use 7 proxies.

Let me hear it again
We are Annoymous

Most people have unique filenames for their images, and use them often. (Especially reaction images)

You can use an archiving site to find all posts with that filename for the picture, meaning a careless user can have several of his posts tied to an image if he uses it repeatedly or gives it a unique filename, like a random number string.

You're correct. But on a very simple and superficial level you are. Just by glancing over the boards and threads of Sup Forums you can't tell who people are.

Im not really any good yet, Im still learning, getting better but still bad, I think I might start doing some requests and stuff on Drawthreads once I learn a few more tricks
I would love the idea of Freelance stuff
One of my goals it to make my own Vidya, but thats a hobby, not a job, I can use blender to an extent and know some basic game code for Unity
But again Im indecisive so I dont know if I would it to be 2D or 3D
Bit of story time, during my highschool art Major were given over a year to do a set of work and thats pretty much every day in class, I did jack shit for most of the year and just talked to my m8s, my teacher hated me because I was so lazy, then in the last month I did 6 sketches of my friends, slapped on a black boarder around each shot and placed the pictures in the shape of a smiley face, the eyes was me and my crush at the time, I got a 90/100 for that and my teacher was so pissed off.

I m using Sup Forums app

Proxy servers can send users script to execute and own their machines.

You are caching the images from the threads you go too,which can then be traced around the site,to see what threads you are seeking out.You can have your cookies scanned etc

>he has a portable botnet device
>wants to be anonymous

Yer so you are only anonymous in the sense that is what is says above your posts. But in terms of netsec and opsec your are completely unique and trackable.

Thats why you vpn in to proxies

I'm kind of being a little silly here. But we are all anonymous in the sense that is what is says above our posts. To each other we are literally 'Anonymous'

In a philosphical sense.

Lets just hope he doesnt have his nuclear prints saved to his phone

My notebook (Samsung 900X3A) suddenly has no sound anymore. It appears my laptop no longer recognizes the audiojack anymore, nor does it play sounds over the built-in speakers any longer. Troubleshooting tells me "Possible unrecognized hardware change". What could cause this? Loose cable?

The other day I had sound, but once I closed my laptop and booted it later that day, it was gone again.

Is there a way to make new Explorer windows appear underneath the cursor on Windows 7?

I hit Win+E to open one and it appears in some fucking dumb location and triggers my autism. I'd like it to just appear on the active monitor/underneath my cursor a la Linux

Sounds like something is either very broken or just a little loose

Open it up and make sure everything's solid, esp if it's a laptop

I've managed to get an eGPU setup working on my Thinkpad x220t (which has Antergos and Windows dual-booted) on my windows partition, and now I'm trying to see if gpu passthrough works on my Antergos partition. I've been following this guide
reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/3lno0t/gpu_passthrough_revisited_an_updated_guide_on_how/

and I think I've gotten it working up to the "setting up Windows" section. But, I need to use the keyboard to start installing Windows in the VM, and I don't have a usb keyboard on hand right now.

How would I go about passing through my laptop keyboard control to the qemu VM?

I need to move some files from my PC to a potentially infected PC I found

What's the safest way to do it, assuming I'll need to do it more than once?

Wait from healthy pc -> infected.

What is the issue?

I'm a game dev and it's useful to have an old PC to test performance on.

Why not just wipe and reinstall the potentially infected pc?

I'm not sure what exactly to check. I marked the area where I presume something is broken or loose, but can I even remove those ribbon cables and reattach them without breaking something and without using glue?

Forgot picture

Is this balanced? Should i get a gtx 960 instead? Or even an r9 380?

What kinda econobox is this guy pushing around?!

Couldn't it potentially persist through that?

I found it in a park so I don't really want to risk anything.

Is there a way to play videos on a raspberry pi without having them lag?
