Good DVR's for recording, pausing streaming media? (especially through services like playstation vue and slingtv)

>open PDF in Ubuntu
>can right click images in the pdf and "save image as"
>try on Windows, can't
why can Ubuntu do this? can I get a similar program for Windows?

Do intel gimp their older cpu drivers?

Distro is irrelevant.
It is the application you use.

>Distro is irrelevant.
I knew it wasn't OS related, just wanted to clarify, incase the Ubuntu program was available for Windows

thanks, I'll try it. it'll save me having to manually snip every image

You do know that Photoshop can open pdf.

I'm having this weird problem.
Whenever I connect a device to my computer, it freezes.
And have to reboot it.
It happened under both window and linux.
Any idea what's causing this?

Shitty usb controller

I may have to install windows 7 on a friend's laptop via dvd but i have never actually done that, and im incertain about the activation. If i search for "windows 7 professional keys" a lot of sites come out, will grabbing a key from one of them work? Some of them are pretty shady and bloated and redirected me to viruses

"the action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program"
for the love of all things sqt, is there any solution for this

Log out

How can I get Deepin's beautiful system settings side panel over to another DE/distro?

if this works i will be so thankful
no issues now tho so can't test it yet

Is there a key registry or a tweaking program to resize the check boxes on Widows Explorer? I use them a lot but they are tiny as fuck. Win 7.

How's that got to do with it?
Also do you mean the usb control on the mobo?

use daz m8

I'm compiling Firefox for Android but I'm a bit confused about march vs mtune vs mcpu.

gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/ARM-Options.html

From the available options it seems that march is more generic for the ARM architecture while mtune optimizes even more for the specific CPU? What about mcpu? I'm also confused on if I should use one of them alone or mix them.

i have a similar problem
mine doesn't freeze upon connection, but it freezes when i try to make a new folder or edit a name on the device

Need a laptop for college, have 800$ to spend, need it for work, school, browsing, a lot of multi tasking, hd streaming, music, movies etc. Can you guys help me out? There are so many options I just don't know which way to go. Not tech savvy.

Are there any good examples of how to leverage mutter for making your own window manager?

Thanks for the reply. So is the i3 (on either of them) going to be good enough to last me?

whats a laptop that can do game streaming and can survive being dropped a few times around $600?

yeap, nothing you mentioned is actually very heavy and they are notebooks cpus
difference beteween i3, i5, i7 is only turbo frequency, they all pretend they are 4 cores
only few gaming i7 have actual 4 cores...

I have a gigabit internet connection with a direct ethernet cord from my PC to the jack. But if I do ethernet -> router -> PC then my connection drops to a 100 mb/s plan. Does my ISP somehow detect if I am using a router?

>want to play while streaming
>on notebook
>$600
yeah, no
by games you mean card games
why dont you build yourself a PC you faggy loser?

can I under clock a cpu or gpu and/or reduce the wattage

your router has 100MB switch ports

yes

I meant like what steam can do where you stream from your main PC to another one probably should have worded it better but I was to busy being a "faggy loser"

So I have two routers. Where do I control the switch ports? I dont see anything where I can change / modify that. I have an Apple Express and a Netgear Nighthawk

C++ Question

Can anyone tell me why pressing the up arrow key still moves the user beyond the boundaries? For this assignment I'm not allowed to edit what my professor did for us and instead I have to use inheritance and pointers, but I'm behind and those are the two things I'm really fucked with at the moment.

It worked just fine when I went and edited it myself but that wasn't super helpful. I assume it has something to do with line 107 where I have "PickUpGame::Move(Direction);

I think I have the right idea but obviously I still don't have a clue what I should actually do.

Any help would be appreciated

Finally something that looks legit, thank you

you are still being inescapably unhelpful in your wording you little faggot loser

>stream from your main PC to another
>like steam

tell what the fuck you want to do specifically

like what the steam link does

nighthawk has all the ports 1GB
but apple shit with that one port is only 1GB
acording to my quick google you lazy dumb fuck

netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/R7000.aspx#tab-techspecs
apple.com/airport-express/specs/

yes, I dont use steam and steam links you thick moron

>fix
but apple shit with that one port is only 100MB

Yeah I mean I knew they were all gigabit connections, I thought maybe there was something else. I dont see why I can get a gigabit connection when Im directly connected via the ethernet cable, but all of a sudden it drops to 100 when I use the router in between

How would you go about converting an old tv that only has an antenna in jack in to a monitor?

Do coax cables have any adapters?

no the physical product that steam sell you retard

what do I need and what do I need to learn to make a new madokami replacement?

I dont know their products and I dont care, describe what you want to do instead your cum stain

if you don't know anything about it then you won't be much help will you

how do I learn to draw like this

I'll pop my head in and say: No $600 laptop is going to smoothly stream any remotely decently appearing game through steam link. It requires more resources on top of already running the game, which would be demanding enough for it

you said streaming, you nigger kike
I dont need to know particular services or product of one manufacturer to know my shit..

the funny thing is that you are unable in plain words to describe what its happening between the PCs
you were always the last in the class, werent you?

I guess coaxial to rca to hdmi?
It would look like shit

why does evilvte keep going back to default settings every time I close it

wine runs with admin privs for everything, but linux would be untouched
just delete it all all and replace

False.
Wine integrates in to your system,youll notice all of those emulated drive letters,and all those linked paths in your home folder.
It isnt jailed,it can still spill out

make sure it's the router and not the access point

it would effect all the other stuff in the virt folder connected with wine; programs etc
if the wine installation allows access to your system, then files could be modified but the odds are really low
it wouldn't damage your system

False.
wine sylinks /
Wine runs as root

Let that sink in for ya

the virus would have to target wine users

And you dont think that would be implemented?

no, who the fuck uses wine
you'd be better off with the latest jazz targeting the 99% with the malicious installer/video game executable/dynamic libs/what ever

Just a warning, this one's a fucking doozy.

My computer keeps freezing while playing with friends online, and sometimes just on it's own. After trying quite an amount of things including taking out and reassembling everything physical, I ended up trying Hard Disk Sentinel cause "hey, maybe my HDD's getting fucked."

Pic related, am I right to assume that this is most likely the reason for my crashes? Most everything other than my OS is installed there, including the game I play with friends.

can I connect a Blu-ray reader/writer and an HDD to a Raspberry Pi?

yes user

Upper here, thanks for your input. Genuinely.

>BACK UP IMMEDIATELY
sounds fine desu

your welcome

Is 2560x1440 with no dpi upscaling too much for a 24" monitor? Should I go for 27"?
My sight is OK and I currently work on a 13"@1600x900, no upscaling

neat!
how would I go about doing that?

Someone please help.

I recently built a new PC and booted Windows 10 from a USB stick. Now, the USB stick is recognized as the primary drive instead of the 1TB HDD that is also connected. How do I change the boot/primary/etc from the USB to the HDD?

ssh -Y pi@[ip]
get k3b, needs a 3rd party for blueray support

I startpaged it

Is it okay to ask stupid programming questions in the programming thread? I don't think I'll get help here

why are the freedesktop.org standards so shit?

go in to the bios and change the boot cycle.

I realize this question may come across as particularly stupid, but do any of you know if the leds/bulb could be changed in something like pic related? I am the type of guy who likes to buy things that will ideally last a lifetime. I realize this lamp will probably last at least 5 to 7 years, but I still like to hold onto shit forever

could the LEDS be replaced in this? is there such a thing as bulbs made up of LEDs now?

I was not prepared to see this image in the wild again, on Sup Forums, here in $CURRENT_YEAR.

stay comfy OP

You're checking xPos, but the character is moving up. You want to check yPos

is 90-95 C normal for a R9 390x under load?

gigabyte G1 gaymin, if it matters

Your main is using the move method from PickUpGame, not from the inherited Mine class. No check is made in the PickUpGame class

I went into BIOS and only one hard drive is shown in the priority list but I select to boot from the HDD. Then when my OS loads it shows that the USB is still the primary drive.

It sounds like you installed your boot loader on your usb and made it primary some how

reinstall

I don't fully understand your problem.
Is your os installed on the usb? If not then why don't you just unplug it. If you installed it on the usb just reinstall windows 10 on the hard drive

This poster is right, I'm retarded and didn't read the whole thing. For some reason x is the dimension getting adjusted by the up arrow.

Fuck

I had the iso on the USB, but I have a feeling that when I went through the first phases of set-up, I forgot to make the HDD the primary drive.

But the iso is now on the HDD so let's give it a shot. See you guys in a bit.

That is a good point but in the working version I have that I wouldn't be allowed to submit, it works with xPos but not yPos. You're right thought it should be the other way around.

This seems like the right answer. Not really sure what to do with it, I'll play around with things and try to figure it out. Thank you

Yeah go for 27in, it's real nice :)

I'm really at a loss. I thought by using PickUpGame::Move(Direction); in my inherited Mine class it would somehow insert my if else statement into my PickUpGame class, which we're not supposed to edit.

The Game object in your class is of type PickUpGame, therefore the Move method you call will be the one from PickUpGame. To call the correct Move method (from class Mine), the Game object must be of class Mine, otherwise you are bypassing the coordinate check and skipping to coordinate update.

The problem is that you're not making a Mine on line 128. You're making a PickupGame. So when you call Game->Move() on line 138 you're not executing the method you wrote in Mine, you're executing the original PickupGame method without the bounds detection.

The Mine class you made doesn't "insert" anything into the original PickupGame class. PickupGame is its own thing and remains completely unchanged. When you write a class that inherits from an older class, like how Mine is a child of PickupGame, you're basically saying that Mine has the ability to use PickupGame's original methods, on top of having unique code. When you call PickupGame::Move() from within Mine, you're not changing PickupGame at all. Mine is just executing that PickupGame::Move() method on that line as if you wrote it for Mine in the first place.

See The solution should be simple as explained but you should clarify your conceptions about inheritance.
Unfortunately, inheritance does not work as you are describing. Inheriting does not mean injecting or modifying the code from the inherited class. The inherited class is not modified. In particular, the fact that the two methods are using the same name does not mean they represent the same function (just think of their qualified names, PickUpGame::Move versus Mine::Move),
When a class inherits from another class, it means it is able to use (i.e. call) the methods from the inherited class. Your Move function could be called Donald and you could still be able to call the Move function from PickUpGame because your child class inherited all the PickUpGame methods and can make use of them.

Do you think 23"/24" would be too small?
