/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

I'm a functional and was messing about in google settings and now I have these pesky adverts at the top of every search and can't find how to remove them.

I got a little heated on the phone with an Amazon support rep and wound up screaming at him aggressively until I made him cry. Now that I've had time to calm down I feel really bad about it. Is there any way I can get them to connect me to the same guy again so I can apologize?

don't dwell on the past. it's an accurate reflection of what type of person you are. change your ways.

Can I get ncmpcpp to display on-screen desktop notifications telling me the name of the song everytime it switches to a new song?

Does it make me gay if I like to watch a lot of gay porn?

Macbook pro (mid model) vs macbook air (highest model)

Does the 700 ghz make a big difference?

I'm trying to install a Gigabyte z170xp-sli into a Fractal Design R5, but the motherboard has only 6 standoff holes that match the ATX standoffs on the case and a lone extra standoff hole on the center right side that doesn't seem to match up with the case's ATX standoffs. Am I supposed to leave that extra standoff on the motherboard unscrewed?

https problem guy here. Posted right before another gelpful user said i should post my current status here, so here is my repost.

problem https fails everywhere on Linux, Windows and Android. Also onWifi and mobile data.I'm researching that redirect alert shit now.

When you say restart router, you mean just turning it on and off again, or do you mean resetting/reflashing it with new firmware?

>When you say restart router, you mean just turning it on and off again, or do you mean resetting/reflashing it with new firmware?
Did flash newest firmware prior to restarting it (turning it of for 10 sec, turning it on again)

Is there a genuinely viable alternate option to the software "vorpX"? It's too expensive and not available to torrent.

I need software to inject into DirectX 9-11 games for VR compatability/use.

HELP ON THIS PLEASE?

I need a student laptop for about 300$ and preferably under 3lbs. (i already own a T420 and that's heavy as fuck)

Does your PC have any malware? Have you checked? Do you use a VPN? Where do live/what is your ISP? Who is your phone carrier? So many things are affected, since it spans so many of your devices, I'm trying to figure out what is going on.

Could someone post a picture of the behind of a 1TB WD Blue?

Yes.

I'll chech with malwarebytes now. I didn't had any protection other than the built in, because i was using Linux mainly before starting to play WoW again.
No VPN, i tried once but i'm too stupid to set it up.
I live in Austria, my carrier for both mobile data and Wifi router is Hutchinson Drei (Three).
>www.drei.at
My router is an Huawei e5186s-22a if that helps, with carrier firmware.

X220 with a SSD.

>student laptop for about 300$ and preferably under 3lbs
My sister has a ASUS Transformer Book T100HA. It was ok, and as a student laptop for taking notes or doing basic work in office, it suits her fine. From what I can tell, her experience with it was generally positive. But I don't think it is anywhere near as powerful as a T420.

What's the best e-read for uploading pirated e-books?

I would love some help on this!

How lucrative is a tech job nowadays?

I have a knack for computers and I need a career path

What is the difference between motherboards with 4pin CPU power and 8pin CPU power if all im going to use is a 54w Pentium?

O shit, your mobile data and Wifi router come form the same source? I was under the assumption it was like in the states, where usually Time Warner is the internet provider for the router and then you have like T-Mobile for your phone. Maybe this is an ISP issue then?

Would you actually fuck a guy

700 ghz makes a difference but 700 mhz will probably matter only in the more intense video games

I have ublock origin

How do I block the Amazon ads on Twitch from showing?

Shouldn't be the case, as their website also has an certificate which i checked with the first online certificate checker that came up on google. It's clean.
Yeah, the alternatives are shit, priority systems or disconnects here and there. It ran very nice for over a year now, but the scan is running. Seems i got infevted BAD..
Backdoor.Blabindl.Generic, a trojan.. Fuck this OS.

Amazon is good. Freee 2 d ay shipping with prime

Update filters, and add more filter lists.

Filters do NOT work

What is the other extension next to uBlock?

Keep adding more.

Put in actual work into your side projects and go to an actual college and make connections. Good luck, it's competitive

So you have an Android Phone, and a PC with dual boot of Windows and Linux, is that correct? And currently you are scanning the Windows OS?

Yes. Windows is clean again. I'm trying Linux now and scanning on Android (lol).
Probably have to factory reset/reflash Android. But at least i can try that new 7.1 test build from OmniROM.

Pretty sure the redirect thingy is the culprict and soread through wifi to my system.

does Windows

I would love some help on this issue.f

Linux is still compimised, reinstall time.
Android reinstall time.
Rebooting to win and checking if it's still clean after the reboot to Linux.

Let's focus on one thing at a time. It might not hurt to power down your phone, and work through your PC.

If you are 100% certain your PC is clean now, you can potentially try resetting to factory settings on your router one more time and seeing what happens.

Much appreciated.

I'm trying to configure mpd on windows, but when running my config file I get
failed to open log file "C:/mpd/data" (config line 37): Permission denied
I think I have to set in the config what user it's running as? Or I can change the permissions on the folder? I really have no idea

Is life really worth living?

If ANYONE could help?

the red one is uBlock Origin Websocket

>A companion extension to uBlock Origin: this gives uBlock Origin the ability to see and filter WebSocket connection attempts.

Getting into functional programming recently. Seeing a lot of people encouraging currying and only one input per function.

Do I need to worry about this for thread constructors?

I mean in theory the class could have it's values preset, but that clashes with OOP a lot.

For a .net server for example, is it okay to say pass in the server ip address and port number, or would that to be too inelegant?

Is the 1070 that much better than a 1060?

I kind of need hardcore tutoring for learning. Is that affordable in tech?

I would, but I have zero experience with ncmpcpp. I see some config thread from 2009, and it seems they are similar, but are you wanting it to just show a little terminal with the name of the new song and then disappear? I see configs talking about putting the current song title in bold.

The phone is now disconnected from wlan to prevent eventual spreading. Win and Linux are on different SSDs, so no problem with individual resets.

I appreciate your and the other user's support. THANKS!

On a sidenote: win seems still to be clean.
I'll check back tomorrow just to be sure my router isn't infected, but for now i think that it was the redirect alert shit.
Seriously, one time not rooted and using adaway this shit happens. Spread the word for root + adaway and uBlock Origin.

Stupid question: Do we have a site that benchmarks relative performance of the 950 pro versus the upcoming 960 evo and go into detail on which workloads can cause the evo to fill its write cache? From what I can tell the 960 evo beats the 950 pro for the first 13GB until the cache fills and then it turns into a piece of garbage that can be outpaces by last year's budget SSDs.

Am I being stupid for not trusting Samsung about cache sizes or am I being stupid by considering buying last years tech when the new releases are only 2 weeks away?

Yes.

So, does that mean you are going to bed? Or have you had any progress with testing https?

Clarifying: I trust them that the cache size is what they say. I'm just clueless if it's large enough to not get constantly filled in real-world usage. I'm leaning towards the 960 though since it's a little cheaper at each capacity and I'm probably buying the 250/256 or 500/512GB model.

I've tested it successful on win7, after the removal of the infected files.

Android an Linux still are borked, but i'll wait until tomorrow to fix them, just to be (kinda) sure it's not the router itself.

Alright. So are you going to reset the router to factory settings now then?

I recently got a security camera that comes with a DVR and a camera. The DVR has a hard drive and comes with HDMI and VGA ports. I can plug either into one of my computer monitors.

If I want a standalone monitor for the camera for convenience (without having to remove cables from my computer monitor) what exactly should I be looking for? I really don't want to spend a lot of money on it and want something sub- 15 inches. Computer monitors don't seem to go lower than that. What should I be looking for?

Nah, not yet.
If i have to do it, sure, right now i'm positive it spread from Android through the wlan connection. I'm pretty confident the router itself is clean, but i want to make sure by giving it some time.

I did some searching around and I found this:

ncoop.github.io/2016/07/31/sending-notifications-with-ncmpcpp

Seems up your alley.

Can't turn phone off without taking the battery, it comes back on. I already factory reseted but it keeps doing the same. Even if i take the battery off, when i put it back the phone turns on automatically. Its a Galaxy JS1.I looked around on google but didn't find anything useful. Anybody has any clue?

Ok, so current testing of the PC, is the HTTPS still screwing up?

And for sure the PC is synced to the proper time using this server:

pool.ntp.org

Right?

Right now, it's working as untended. And yep, synced in time by ntp.
Android and Linux on the other hand still had issues. My phone is dc'd from wlan for protection of my PC until reflashed again.

Hey! Great news man! So we are making progress! Https is working again, at least for Windows.

Whats a good replacement image viewer program to use instead of the win 7 default one?

I'd like to play .gifs and WEBM if possible and have the ability to edit the pics within the viewer

Or something.

I'm looking for something like this

amazon.com/Focusrite-Scarlett-Audio-Interface-Tools/dp/B01E6T56CM/

but without the mic/guitar inputs. Does something like that exist? I need at least a pointer to a place I could get an answer

Someone recommend me a good USB mic that doesn't cost a fortune

Preferably something I can place on my desktop

Yes, thanks again mate!

I'm pulling the plunge and reinstall/reflash the remaining OSs tomorrow as it's almost 4AM now. And i learned my lesson to always root and adaway ASAP.

I use ifranview. It handles pics/gifs well. MP4s and webms I use Media Player Classic for.

Alright man, glad to help. Just one side question, wouldn't rooting the phone allow applications to install and change settings on your phone because they have higher level permissions?

Honeyview, XnView, infranview.

I did the thermal pad mod to my EVGA 1080 SC yesterday. I'm getting the same if not cooler temperatures on the core (irrelevant to the pads mostly).

Since that's true is it safe to say I did the thermal paste correctly?

Yes. Tough i don't sideload apps from apksites. I'm pretty sure it was the redirect which vibrates your phone and states you have x infected files.

I was testing the 7.0 OmniROM build for angler and this time i DID NOT root/install adaway, so i guess it's safer regarding this.

How was the saying again? Ah! "With great power..something responsibility"

i have a domain name and a free web host (i might upgrade later) that offers MySQL database and supposedly unlimited storage.
I just want a database, ~10GB, accessible remotely through the internet. do i just migrate the db to the website through my cpanel? do i need a local machine with the db, acting as a server? is it safe to have a db listening to all connections from the mysql ports? stackoverflow claims it is a security issue, even with authentication.
I wouldnt normally bother wdg/ with questions like this but, I dont know how to look for these answers. maybe one of you can direct me to a guide?

>I'm pretty sure it was the redirect which vibrates your phone and states you have x infected files.

Ah those. I get those from time to time thanks to Sup Forums's new advertisements. So far, I haven't had any issues, but I'll be more cautious.

Alright man, well you have a good night/morning then. I wish you the best of luck cleaning out everything.

It's better than the alternatives. You might as well go ahead and keep living; it won't last forever and you owe it to the people who care about you to stay alive. Talk to them; they can probably help you more.

Anyone got a hexed copy of impression eyes they upload?

Thanks for everything, man. Have a good day too! And may i recommend clover to prevent ads on Sup Forums? If you're on Android that is, ofc.
>based floens

Yeah, I might need to give that a shot. I don't browse too often on my phone, so it has been low priority, but since these new advertisement changes have increased their frequency, it might be worth checking out. Thank man!

A little something to repay my debt to your support.
I'm off to bed, have a good one!

pls?

If you are doing soft factory resets do a Hard reset.

Hey, I didn't see a ricing thread and I just got into Linux now so I was wondering how to rice. I just installed Linux Mint and was curious about how to go about ricing it. Any guides would be helpful. Thank you.

whats a soft factory reset?
i got into the boot menu before it powered on again and wiped both the cache and restored to fabric, as in new

Is time infinite?

Soft factory reset:
Settings>Factory reset
Hard reset:
Boot menu>Factory reset

then i did a hard one

How do I quit Xorg in OS X?

shit is too expensive to buy down under, is it worth it to buy from newegg and ship it here how fucked will I be if I need to RMA it?

Suppose I had a shitload of money, and/or money means nothing to me. How can I find a Pascal version of the Titan X, and not the Maxwell ones? Why did nVidia insist on giving it the exact same name?

Why don't we just take all the gays and lock them up in prison?

Pay attention to her, and care what she says.

Because it's not a crime, and they make good music.

It should be a game though. Homosexuality is disgusting.

You're just mad nobody wants to put their dick into your bumbum

Because it would make more sense to gas them all so they aren't wasting space.

I've had this error for a week on my new build, and I can't advance past this.

I'm using an external CD drive with Windows 7 installer, and things like swapping USB slots and trying to edit BIOS don't work.

why are u guys so sinical all the time???

Why are such a mentally retarded piece of shit. Kill yourself.

i'm going to write a bit torrent client but i'm confused onhow they work.

for instance if you're seeding a file does the client open a port on your computer that people connect to to get that bit of file or what?

i'm too lazy to install a client and run nmap to test this.
