What is good clothing to wear when programming

Yeah I've tried doing the whole ipconfig /renew steps to fix it and it spits out this error. "An error occurred while renewing interface Ethernet : unable to contact your DHCP server. Request has timed out." DHCP is definitely turned on in the router, I checked.

To add though, if I try going to the router address (192.168.1.1) it tries to point me to the LuCI OpenWRT login instead and the Linksys Smart Wifi thing simply says it's unavailable. I'm thinking that maybe the flash from OpenWRT to OEM was dirty in someway and there is a weird conflict occurring between the two. This might be nothing however.

gloves

but they gotta be fingerless

I personally wear a balaclava and matching gloves

Do Lenovo still have spyware on their devices?
(computerworld.com/article/2984889/windows-pcs/lenovo-collects-usage-data-on-thinkpad-thinkcentre-and-thinkstation-pcs.html)

I kind of want the Yoga 710, but might have to pass them up if so.

Do you install pirated Android games? Im scared cuz my debit card

Bluestacks

Nox is a better option doe

sweatpants and polyester shirt because they expand and the cheeto dust doesn't stain

Tesla Unread alternative for rooted devices? Tesla doesn't support all applications and I'd rather not have notifications enabled just so it can scrape them. Which defeats the purpose of it in the first place.

What are you talking about? If you're not rooted, nothing will happen. If you're rooted, nothing will happen unless it has root access which it will have to ask SuperSU for anyways. Just use an antivirus like Malwarebytes. That should be all you need and you're good.

Or install it on Bluestacks or Nox (?) first to test it, but you don't need to go that far.

Yes, which is fixed with a clean windows install if its a Thinkpad series laptop.

Why do I keep getting hangup phone calls from random local restaurants late at night?

Is there some program someones using to call me and make it appear like whatever number they want or some weird shit?

They always call twice, and only twice, exactly 1 min apart.

Impossible. Well, possible, but some neckbeard won't be doing it.

I used to get those too. They're robots. I answered one time and they said press 1 to never get a call again and surprisingly it worked. They too called from random numbers all the time. So it was, in theory, impossible to stop them.

The others just keep calling. I use MrNumber or whatever it's called. It's shit, but it blocks the call in a way that they can't leave voicemail. Which they do to spam the shit out of me and my notifications. It works for most spam, but I set it to contacts only and now I don't even worry about it. No issues anymore.

You installed an app and sold your phone number to a company.
Your phone is in the botnet, those are all bot calls.

Im not kidding.

Think of email spam mail but with calls and more annoying.

But how are they coming from the landline numbers of local restaurants?
Some aren't even closed when they call.

Well Honestly, that's very comforting.

I'm paranoid to an unhealthy level, so my mind instantly went to very dark places.

I want a future in computers and technology but doubt I have the mental capacity to code. Good with hands on but also don't want to be some fag installing time warner boxes.
Any suggestions on what field I should focus on?

Programming socks

So, i have this old Sony Vaio laptop with Intel Pentium B980 cpu and Radeon HD 7650M card.
My video card died a few days ago and now I can only use the laptop for browsing internet/watching non-hd videos in 1024x768 resolution.It says its using Microsoft Basic Adapter on devices.
My questions are- Can i just used my processor as a video card since apparently the B980 cpu supports Intel HD graphics and if yes, why cant i install the HD graphics drivers from intel on it?(i get "this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software " error)

does anyone else occasionally get into a loop of the same 2 or 3 songs on youtube when using autoplay? i know it sounds stupid, but none of my friends have had it happen before, but yet its happened to me quite a few times

Install the correct Intel GPU drivers.
>Which one of how all the ones that exist
Install 3DP Chip and remember to dont install any of the adware that comes with the installer.

Pic related, its not hard, just basic common sense.

Anything im missing?

>I want to do a smart job that is hard
>I'm not smart and don't want to work hard

>Ethernet drivers for pretty much everything
>Driver downloader
>7zip
>Chrome + uBlock Origin
>CCCP for mediaplayer
>HD Tune for HDD checking (Linux does it too anyway)
>Malwarebytes, Adwcleaner and JRT for malware
>4.5 framework
>Spanish language patch
>Wincdemu to mount isos
>MSOffice
>MSToolkit to crack it
>Daz to crack Windows 7
>Adobe because PDFs

Outside the folder, Windows 7 with USB 3.0 and AHCI drivers to dont have problem with any PC.

And the second USB is a Linux Mint USB.

what are keylogers?

Just tried it, this doesnt find me any drivers about the CPU, funnily enough

You are looking for GPU drivers, not CPU drivers.

the GPU drivers it gives me are only for the fried Radeon video card, i want Intel HD graphics, if that makes sense

sorry, meant to quote you

It should give you the option for both(Press the green plus button).

Is there a recommended way to make win10 less shit/bloated supposedly?

Installing 7 or 8.1.

I like to make hard-cooked eggs in my steamer, but inevitably when I steam a dozen or so one or two will wind up cracked by the process, then the cracks become hard to see when they cool and contract again. Is it ok to leave them like this in the fridge?

>8.1
>an acceptable choice over 10

Am I fucked for being in IT over CS? I switched majors fairly late and am 1 semester into IT. I don't have enough time to start and finish a CS degree without going over my scholarship time limit. I am focusing web dev / programming. I am anxious.

nope, nothing

[spoiler]My SD card keeps switching between being read & write to just read.

I plug it into my 3DS and comp, they all work fine. Then i plug back into my 3DS and it says "the SD card only has read permission" then i plug back into my desktop and it says "this only has read permission"

When it was literally just working 10 min ago.

How the FUCK do i delete this goddamn recovery position on my shitty netbook?

I have already tried copying it to a USB, windows was supposed to ask me if i wanted to delete the recovery partition, but it never did.

Tried diskpart but its noting having it either.

I'd like to keep windows on this shit because my university is autistic and forces everyone to use the MS office 16 shit and some other proprietary things.

are you bumping the lock by mistake? some SD cards dont play nice if you dont "safely remove" them either. had the same problem with some chink micro sd cards i bought

Why am I getting this error and how can I fix it?

you can get an internship as a dev if you can actually demonstrate programming skills; the industry doesn't give a fuck if you're CS or MIS as long as you can perform.

>that UI
hot damn

also, it's failing to write the modification time because it has no permission

Yeah i've been sliding the lock thing up and down, hasn't fixed it. I did eject it like once.
I am using a Japanese one so that may be the problem.
How did you fix it

Try GParted. (Also included on the basic Ubuntu live USB if the GParted live USB doesn't work for you, mention because it didn't for me for some reason.) Should be able to sort out stuff like that easily.

Are you sliding it in Japanese?

if I buy an expensive modular power supply and cablemod will it likely still be usable in 2 - 3 years when I upgrade my mobo?

I did the windows "scan and repair" thing and it actually worked, and then I always ejected it afterward. Haven't had a problem since, every time i pull it without ejecting my camera refuses to recognize it.

thank you user. I really appreciate it

yes

I have an old Thinkpad T400. I have a docking station which means I have 2 VGA ports. I tried hooking up two monitors, but it didn't work because only one external monitor is supported. I use this computer as a desktop, so if I disconnect the built in display internally, can I use two VGA monitors?

Guys I'm in the market for a new router. I'm gonna be buying a neat NAS and wanted something stronger than my old 10 dollar router

Do you guys have any suggestions? Brands, models, pricing, anything. I'm new to this stuff

i recently bought a gtx 1070 and I am wondering if there is literally any reason to put my old 660 back in there along with my 1070

Is life really worth living?

I'm using Iridium browser and so far I'm loving it except for the fact ir randomly breaks sites like Amazon or eBay. Any idea what might be causing it?

Alternatively, what's the best Chromium fork that removes as much of the botnet as possible?

Recently my old proxy I used for torrenting ceased working for unknown reasons. What would be a good free VPN I could use instead?

no. it depends on how lucky you were the moment you were born.

What if I was born as a tapeworm?

Has anyone managed to make gigabit go faster than 115MB /sec?

My new PC build won't connect with HDMI. It was working fine with it for a short while and then after the PC went into sleep mode the monitor said no signal. I can hear through the speakers that it boots through windows all the way. I tried the connecting to a TV but same no signal popped up. Along with trying multiple HDMI. However I dug up a DVI cable and that worked.
Why isn't my PC finding HDMI anymore?

Thanks any ideas on how to fix that? I can't seem to find the solution.

How do tyou know your GPU died if its still being detected?

Get a linux bootable USB (any distro, try mint).
Open gparted or disk manager and delete it.

No.

T400 IGPU only works with one external and one internal not 2 externals.

Ask in /tpg/.

Make a linux USB(Linux mint and use rufus to make it bootable), boot on it and if HDMI works your driver derped and you have to reinstall it.

Thanks.

yeah

Anyone have any experience using spss?

I need to filter the rows in a particular dataset according to whether the value of a variable in a given row matches any value of that variable in a separate dataset.

So say I have dataset1:
Procedure
5
7
1
8

And dataset2:
Procedure...date...time
1...2011...4:00
1...2012...3:00
2...2008...2:00
3...2008...4:00
7...2016...6:00
5...2013...5:00
6...2011...7:00

So after filtering dataset2 by comparing its Procedure values to those listed in dataset1, I'd get:
Procedure...date...time
1...2011...4
1...2012...3
7...2016...6
5...2013...5

Basically, all the rows in dataset2 whose Procedure value didn't correspond to one listed in dataset1 were deleted.

Anyone have any suggestions on the commands / syntax I could use to achieve the above?

thanks, Sup Forums

I threw gparted on a USB with LiLi, EFI blocked the drive from being bootable. When I try to click windows boot manager from the bios (in an attempt to delete secureboot) all it does is launch windows normally and go right to the desktop.

I fucking hate this netbook

Yeah man play some moege or something

alternative to imgur?

I hate it, i want a good image uploader

Please respond!

Any pomf clone, images wont be degraded/compressed with them.

Popular examples:
Pomf.cat
Jii.moe

You can even set up shareX to upload images or files to them using right click anywhere in your computer.

user dont expect fast answers, its 10:00PM-12:00AM in america.

Mostly everyone is sleeping.

There is a router guide in the installgentoo wiki.

It's 9:21PM for me and I jsut woke up

this ones p good

My HDD with Ubuntu 15.10 will always boot first, no matter if I switch the drive boot order in BIOS. It's really annoying because all my other stuff is saved on the other drive, any solutions?

worth mentioning this

and uguu.se (temp file host)

I'm using Iridium browser and so far I'm loving it except for the fact ir randomly breaks sites like Amazon. Any idea what might be causing it?

Alternatively, what's the best Chromium fork that removes as much of the botnet as possible?

with cpu coolers, what is the difference between a tower cooler, and one that has an external rad/fan?

Oh sorry.

Thank you, I'll look into it

Is tri band important? How much better than dual is it?

Reccomendation, stay away from liquid cooling.

Mostly not worth it.

Get a Noctua HSF(NHU12S, 14S or D-15) if you wanna some high end/low noise cooling.

there's this but I don't know how good it is

Should I go for win 7 or 10?
I just run IDEs like netbeans, Visual Studio.
For games I just run Overwatch, Emulators and maybe other new games like BF 1

I have win 10 in my laptop and honestly I feel its a piece of shit, but idk if going back to win 7 would be a good idea with the support ending and all

Go to Windows 7 and just upgrade to buttnet 10 when support ends.

What the hell is this port?
I've seen it on a lot of old laptops, but can never figure it out.

a 1394 obviously

the "1394" written above it kind of gives it away

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_1394_interface

looks like a usb printer port

So it's just a non-apple firewire port? Neat. Kek I feel dumb now.

"firewire" is just apple's name for IEEE1394, it's literally the same thing

it's like if you said a high-resolution display in a non-apple laptop was a "non-apple retina display"

ps. i wouldn't be surprised if the reluctance to use apples' name by other manufacturers to be a rather major factor in ieee1394's death

as you've shown, people only really know about the name "firewire", and won't even recognize 1394 ports, despite literally being the same port

Firewire.

Am I a retard for always getting sli/cf

I had 7950gx2, Sli gtx480s and currently have crossfired RX480s... I don't even care if it works well I just think it's a neat technology I run my SSDs in raid 0 too.

I'm trying to download an embedded .mp4 from Google+.

The video is within a post. Clicking on the video gives me a black window in which it plays in an HTML5 player.

There is no direct download option available on the page itself or in the window, and I have tried everything. From using Chrome's developer tools to try and extract it with the applications panel, saving the link as... from its place in the Chrome cache, and every shitty shady extension made by Pajeets under the sun.

Please help, Sup Forums.

>How do tyou know your GPU died if its still being detected?

when i install the drivers for the amd GPU, my screen turns completely black or blue with some white artifacts at the bottom(something like pic related), starts flickering and the PC keeps restarting
Had to enter safe mode to remove the driver to at least be able to turn my pc on
