Redirecting my question from the last thread here

I recently installed antergos and I picked xfce due to it being the most lightweight option.
Now, whenever I scroll or during video playback I get a weird horizontal distortion line through the screen. Apparently this is caused by the screen compositing or something?

Someone recommended that I should use compton instead of the native xfce window compositing. Would it be better for me to switch to compton or completely switch my de?
If it's better to just go with a different de what's a good one to go with? I don't really care about it being lightweight anymore, just as long as it isn't slow.

sounds like a video driver issue, in which case you can try using this guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html.

I'm new to programming. Is Code Academy my best bet at learning Python quickly?

no. Code academy is generally way too easy and targeted towards people who are not computer proficient.
I'd recommend finding a pdf of Learning Python the Hard Way and working through that first.

When you're normalizing data in a database, how are you supposed to handle data that is duplicated but only once or twice?

Like, if you made a Pokemon database and each monster needs two and only two types (and the position is important), and each monster has two egg group, do you just create 4 fields in a "Pokemon" dataset linked to a Types and Egg Groups table, or do you create a junction table for Types that connects to both the Pokemon and Types tables (and just ignore it if there are 3 or more types for a single monster)?

use compton. there's some guides on how to install it and configure it online. it fixed all my screen tearing problems. it's easy to install and easy to setup.

Don't upvote. I don't want anyone to see this post so they can answer my question. How do I? Will delete this post as soon as I get an answer so no one else can benefit from it.

nice blog

As you can see, Windows has a very annoying way of opening duplicates of Windows Explorer. It stacks them diagonally.
I would like it to each one next to each other. What program/AutoHotkey script will help me achieve this?

Just got a Samsung J3, gotta say quite like it. No ROMs I can find but rooted it, TWRP on it, and xposed, so I'm happy. A bit snappier than the LG Volt 2 I had before.

I have one issue maybe someone can help with though. I want to very simply remote control the mouse/keyboard on the computer when I'm in bed or on the couch. Issue is I use Wifi Tether Router and every app I try says "no wifi available" because WTR seemingly has wifi turned off (since it's acting like a router). I can use ftp, touchosc, etc, but all those remote control apps say "no wifi available" even if I have the option of manually punching in IPs. Any advice is welcome.

Have you tried chrome remote desktop?

Just got this today.
I have the switch set from stereo to mono, but it still only records one track. What do?

Exactly what are the dimensions of a 6.25 spacebar and a 6.00 one? I don't know how to determine what size keycaps to order for my keyboard.

Buy another one.

Should I buy the oukitel k6000 pro, or the LeEco Le Max 2?

what audio software you using?

interfaces should be assignable and group-able by track

set track 1 to L, add a track, set track 2 to R

Is the HDD broken/corrupted or something?
I haven't installed windows in a while, is this supposed to happen?
How does 3.1 GiB turn into 22.6 GiB?

that's just how much space windows takes up I'm pretty sure. It's always been around 20gb.

HOW THE FUCK DOES 3.1 GiB SUDDENLY BECOME 22.6 FUCKING GiB?

How do I learn networking? Where do I start? What books should I read?
Didn't see much on the wiki.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about. As you can see once you start adding a ton of fields you end up hitting the ceiling of relationships Access allows, but creating a shitload of junction tables with the Monster ID seems like it would be a big mess too.

Well if you've run updates that takes a LOT of space. Then there's page file, hybernation file, and system recovery. You can disable those if you need to. If you want a smaller install you should use a tool like rt7Lite to customize the disk and remove features before you install.

Should I convert from AMD to Intel????

depends what your current processor is.
If it isn't bottlenecking you too much you should probably wait for zen to come out just so that you can confirm that intel cpu's are still better.

I'm trying to get into XDCC/IRC
I'm not sure how to go about it
Do different IRC clients have different files?
Are certain clients good for certain files while I should go to another client for others?
can some XDCC pro help me out

What happens if you try to charge a razer blade stealth (45w adapter) with a macbook charger (29 w)? I want to pick up a second chrger to leave at work but am having a hard time finding any rated for anything beyond the macbook :0

OR there's this, which keeps things separate but requires searching and filtering a whole other table to find a monster's typing.

Yep, it says something along the lines of "no wifi network detected" or "wifi not turned on". Everything I've tried so far says that. When wifi tether router turns on it takes a minute and phone goes into airplane mode for a second, when it finally kicks on devices can connect fine but within Android it shows wifi as turned off (which makes sense because it's the host basically) It's just annoying because if i use ftp or most other things and punch in a manual IP it works fine. I guess I'll just try every single app until I find one that skips checking the wifi state

Find an old computer and put 2 ethernet cards in it. Then install linux (fuck if I care what distro. Gentoo or Arch will have the best guides though) and configure that computer to be a router/web server/irc client/ssh server/etc.

You will surely learn networking along the way, especially if you set up a router or web server.

(cont.) And if you can learn to tunnel traffic through SSH that's also very useful and instructive.

It's over lads. My PC is about to get fucked. Is there anyway to prevent this?

What are the odds of a few spurts of water damaging a Thinkpad x200's internals? From what I could tell, it only got on the wrist-support around the pointer buttons, but if it were to go between the keys or into the mouse buttons, how much damage would it do?

I'm building a budget PC this month and I was wondering if the R7 370 was worth it. If it isn't what GPU do you bros recommend for me.
Only have about 180 to work with for the GPU

Bad things, don't do it. The wattage needs to be greater than or equal to 45.

Recently I have noticed that while watching videos on my PC (both in browsers and video players such as VLC and Pot Player), they do not run in real time. For example, watching a video for 3 minutes of time in the player actually takes 3 minutes and 4 seconds of real time. Googling for such issues only turns up codec issues with audio, is it the same idea for videos as well?

No. Enjoy the uglier start menu, more cortana, less options, increased disk activity and all around shittier experience.

What should I use for circuit simulation? While in school I had access to beige bag spice which had a really intuitive GUI. I tried LTSpice, but I'd like something with a better user experience and I'm not paying $600 for b2 spice.

In a university class regarding relational databases, what is a functional dependency? The lecturer is a chink and I just don't understand her explanation of it.

I don't know but judging by that diagram I'd say Y gets it's data from X, or to put it a different way the contents of Y are dependent on the contents of X

So I'm thinking of getting a dual-monitor setup. Monitor is Acer H236HLbid 23.0" 60Hz. Pretty thin bezels so I thought that it would look pretty good. I'm wondering if my graphics card, the MSI 280x, will be able to run both monitors. It only has one DVI port, one HDMI port. Will I be able to use both monitors using different connections on the same card?

The switch is just monitoring the inputs without the latency of a computer. The inputs are mono, so you will need to tell your DAW to record each input either a mono pair or stereo pair. Check page 8 of your 2i4 manual.

Yes.

yesyes, but check if the card supports dual monitors

Will do. Thanks Sup Forumsuys!

how do i fix this shit family?

xfce and xfwm, both updated

This is okay, but if and only if you are certain that you will never need more than two types. I'd still recommend a many to many table but it does add complexity for no benefit.

If you're talking about performance then the difference is not really significant. Assuming you set up correct views and caching and shit.

my CRT is slightly unadjusted for a while everytime i turn it on.
should i make it face the east so that the earth's magnetic field doesnt make it off centered ? or should it face the west instead ?

face it into a trash can it's 2016 my man

Would anyone please recommend sites to download torrents from? aside from kat and tpb

i need to run two instances of a google chrome extension/app, help please. can i use another compatible browser?

I just bought a 4k monitor (LG 27UD68), old gpu is having trouble keeping up.
Do I save for a GTX 1080, get an RX 480 or something else entirely? $1000 australian pesos seems like a bit much for a gpu desu

Kekd hard

Whats the best antivirus out there? I just installed Windows 7 on a PC and I was curious as to what use to protect it, something that can be pirated would be good.

Yeah, the complexity was my issue; the table I'm working with has a ton of fields that end up mostly being one-to-one relationships, and I kept hitting Access's 32 index limit.

Is this the style you'd recommend? I'd still have a ton of relationships coming from the Pokemon table's ID field, and I'd have to add a number field to each Type to track if it's the primary or secondary (and reject any that go over that number), but I guess it would make it so that if I delete a type I'd be able to delete all the references to it.

if a torrent has:
27 seeds
1777 leachers

am i going to be able to download it in full?

Third party ones are all obtrusive shit, just go with Windows Defender, it does the job just fine.

are you planning on playing vidya in 4k?

What's the most lightweight version of android I can put on a Galaxy S2?

I know it's Samshit, it's not mine. It hangs for at least 10 seconds just navigating through the settings menu and has been dropped at least 20 times.

Also, are there any dedicated functionality distros, like one that's just an mp3 player?

Yes. Might take a while because of the ratio but as long as there's still a couple of seeders by the time you get near the end.

What vps software would mimic crypto mail software(protonmail exp), that generates keys upon login and encrypts data on the spot rather then having the mail folder/db open on the vps that would be accessible physically?

Yeah that second one is the way you're supposed to do these kind of relations.

Not an expert in Access but can't you use enums for stuff like genders? Boolean would be an option too but I can't remember if Pokemon had genderless Pokemon or not.

excuse me but my CRT has a lot of advantages over your crappy budget LCD, even if yoru millenial arms cant deal with the weight.
for once, color quality is as good as it gets. the range of black actually goes from ACTUAL BLACK to white instead of greyish black to white. it also accepts an extremelly wide variety of resolutions and the scaling is superior to any flat display that ever existed. theres also the advantage of choosing almost any refresh rate you desire from 60 to 120, and in my case, up to 160. best part is that the idiot i got it from is probably just like you and uses a crapintosh computer now

Yes. The seeders send data to as many leechers as they can and then the leechers share it with each other. It might be slow though, your typical leechers don't have fast upload speeds.

Oh right, you could store genderless as null gender. If those are your three possible values then boolean is fine.

Bitdefender if you want it to just werk, Avast if you want more control. Don't pirate your AV. Actually don't pirate any cracked software if you care about security.

4k gaming is not forgiving. But turning the resolution down to 1080 would probably not cause the blurriness you usually get when using a non-native resolution FWIW

Just use Malwarebytes and Windows Defender

dota is giving me the error, but it also causes problems with doom vulkan too

stop making excuses because you're a NEET who can't afford a proper LED monitor. CRT is maybe reasonable for retro gaming, but even then a PVM is preferable. you're just an old-fashioned retard.

I'm not really sure. I've only been using it for a couple of days.

Booleans would be good, but I'm trying to drive my options from a chart so I can add/remove other stuff (I was just using Pokemon as a simple example anybody would get.) I just know that creating a relationship lets you enforce referential integrity and restrict entries.

stacking new windows is how microsoft thinks you like you have your windows arranged by default
best you can do that is yet another non-solution to the problem is right click the taskbar and choose from cascade/stack/side by side
or you can use a tiling manager, I'm using a small program called Gridy combined with alt+drag

Is DDR3 RAM over 1600mhz just a meme or does it actually make a significant difference (I could care less about gaymes)? I know it isn't as stable as slower RAM

If it's not for games then what? You want faster ram to check your tumblr?

im using my CRT in conjuction with a 1080p flatscreen display and it works great
use the CRT for 4:3 media and gaming, the 1080p for widescreen content
i have 5 LCDs and 2 CRTs
maybe if you weren't a poorfag you would have a space to experience all the advantages of a CRT

>poorfag
>using technology outdated in the 90's

You literally said nothing about your OS or your hardware. You don't get helpful answers because you ask questions like a retard.

going to be stuck where there's only paid wifi tomorrow, would this command allow me to tunnel all my traffic through my home ssh server, supposing I can find an open port?

ssh -f -L :personal-server.com:22 -N

video rendering, photo editing, encoding

>outdated in the 90's
this is a +18 site user
you dont remember the early 2000s so at least do some research before making yourself look like a retard

What kind of paid wifi? If it's Xfinity, you can bypass it by changing your MAC and getting the free session every hour.

My hp deskstar my parents got me for highschool freshman year in 2002 had a 13' lcd screen

seriously tho, any "benefit" you get from your crt is heavily outweighed by the disadvantages of having a crt

For some reason my torrent client doesn't detect all the peers/seeds on a torrent - It shows 0 peers and 0 seeds but still seeds at 1MB/s.

Is there a web tool or something that can quickly return the number of peers/seeds for any given torrent I give it?

Muh themes.

in flight wifi

I'm thinking if I hop on their free session, I can check for open ports and just tunnel all my traffic through one of them, but I've never needed to use ssh like this before so I wanted a quick sanity check on the command I would be using

Best way to go from windows 7 to windows 10. So many torrents, don't know which is the cleanest one.

Stick with 7, you fool.

Why the hell would you use a torrent? Just download from microsoft directly.

i dont understand
so whats the disadvantage? i cant enjoy it because its big i guess? i dont know whats the disadvantage when i like using both a CRT and a LCD

How much extra W for a PSU do I need to take into consideration if I want to overclock the i5-6600K to at least 4.0GHz?

>Up to 480Mbps per second
My current USB Hub cannot handle HD movies (6GB+) from my external drive. Should this suffice? The one I have right now doesn't use any external power like pic related so maybe that would help?

>isn't as stable as slower RAM

you mean higher latency ratings? just get C16 3200 MHz, big boyu

I use xubuntu so this might be irrelevant but the same problem you had I fixed by ticking
