Why does this thread exist when tech support doesn't belong on Sup Forums

Hello /sqt/! Looking for help with my little sister's Android phone. I recently bought her an LG K7 to replace her older and obsolete LG L90 that was 4G only. Issue is that the phone only came with 8GB internal storage. 4GB of which is already taken up by Android OS. We're on the T-Mobile network and her phone is currently on Android 5.1.1 with all security patches. As far as I know, 5.1.1 is incapable of formatting her microSD storage for use as internal storage as that's an Android 6.0.1 benefit.

Is there anything or any app I can use to force installed apps onto the SD card without breaking functionality? She uses Snapchat, Kik, and other such teenage girl apps to do her equivalent of shit posting with her friends.

Otherwise we're stuck waiting for the 6.0.1 OTA update (if the K7 will even get it at all). Help me help my imoto Sup Forums. I feel bad enough as it is having bought her that phone. Seemed too good to be true at $90 brand new. Should have just bought her the Samsung S6 they had for $200.

This is a repost from the last thread.

Previous thread Tech support makes up like half the questions in these threads anyway.

FROGS ARE RACIST

DELETE

Stupid questions will always come to Sup Forums. Help with a problem, buying advice for various things, and overall inquiries of relative technology relation that are undeserving of their own threads. Think of this as a containment thread. Similar to XYZgeneral threads for various topics across other boards on this Tibetan throat singing chat catalogue.

What's the best way to bulk delete tweets? I was going to use this >martani.github.io/Twitter-Archive-Eraser/
but it now collects "harmless" information that I don't want these fags to have and I can't find an older version that didn't require those retarded permisions.

if you root you can use Link2SD to move more than stock android can move, but still not everything.

I'm using the type Object because my list has 2 different class of objects stored in it and I'm wondering whether I can call a method which both classes share without specifically knowing which class the object is? I'm working with java. My problem is that Java says that the method is undefined for type object.

Hey guys, is anyone able to tell what sort of hard drive is used, just by looking at this?

I'm too scared to lift or unscrew anything, in case i break it.

While I agree that the world would be a better place if all frog posters were hanged, calling them racists will only encourage them as now they can be edgy teens instead of the idiotic youth.

post code

Malwarebytes makes my computer crash. What's an alternative?

I want to burn a movie to a dvd that will play on a dvd or blue ray player.

Whenever I try it doesn't recognize the disk. I was just "burning" the mp4 to the disk.

I cannot into.

Linux.

look up "bluray authoring"

Anyone using systemless Xposed? Any drawbacks to it?

You can't just copy it over. That makes it a data disk. You need to use a program for burning video disks

Looks like no actual hard drive, just eMMC

there's no space in there for a hdd

my guess is the four chips along the left side are the SSD/eMMC, non-upgradable
you'll need to use a usb drive or sd card if it has a slot to add more storage

also, be careful putting the RF shield back on, make sure it lines up properly with the rectangle on the mainboard
if you fuck that up you might kill it

what's the best operation system to prevent tracking and logging? what's the most secure and minimalist OS that is still easy to use (unlike tails)

how do you even prevent browser fingerprinting?

how do you prevent giving out personal information like browsing habits?

i'd settle for just making it more difficult to collect information on me instead of total prevention because i'm actually a total nobody. it just feels like 1984's around the corner these days

damn, that sucks. It's a 32GB laptop. Woudla thought they'd put like an M.2 drive in it or something.... been a little less Jewish.

Get root

Use app to make symbolic links for folders on sd card.

Wait, it's actually 14GB cause of Windows 10's bloat. Can't even get Win 7 on it.

Could it possible be under the battery?

It's really a tablet in a laptop body.

No, under the battery's just the keyboard.

what should I replace my Nexus 7 with?

adwcleaner

Oh my god. I wish i could get normies to listen to me, thanks for the help.

you need to transcode the video into a format compatible with dvd (ffmpeg can do this)
and you need a dvd authoring program to create the rest of the dvd structure, i personally have used dvd-lab pro (pic related)

that's modern thinshit for you, thinness at any cost
>Could it possible be under the battery?
possible? sure, very unlikely though

Why can't you into 7?

Why do I get FPS drops on games like LoL and OW.

PC is not overheating doesn't get above 70C
dxdiag pastebin.com/yehmWCn9
I also watch some videos while playing or leave youtube for music. Could it be that my processor cant handle streaming videos and render games at the same time?

My English is bad I know thanks.

i'm pretty sure that's duck-typing and you need to use reflection.
like obj.getClass().getMethod("myMethod", something???)

No drivers for it

pendo.com.au/pendo11-6-convertible-ultrabook-pndfwxufd11blk3-black-185/

Is it still possible to make an autorun script on a usb for Windows 7?, just want to be able to open a program or run something simple like a batch file

This seems too good to be true, am I missing something about this 1080? It's nearly $100 cheaper than any other alternatives.
amazon.com/PNY-GeForce-Overclocked-Graphic-VCGGTX10808XGPB-OC/dp/B01JOF7YGY/ref=sr_1_10?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1490517278&sr=1-10&keywords=gtx 1080

no

as soon as i saw 1366 x 768 pix

I felt anger. Why would people do this to someone

leaving videos/music in the background should be no problem on that hardware

are you running the games from your SSD or HDD?
if hdd, perhaps check it's not too fragmented
are you playing online? you could be mistaking network lag for fps drops

You read that somewhere or you just assuming? Also you could always through a lightweight linux distro on there. SD cards come pretty big these days.

I don't trust PNYs

Why though? If I'm not mistaken, PNY has a lifetime warranty on their products if you register then on the website. A lot of people seems to just not like the brand but have no actual reason.

I went to support > drivers
and it was only for 10. Plus it looks like the laptop was released when Windows 10 had been released

I would actually put Linux on it if it were mine.

Brother needs it for school, and needs MS 'essentials'

That's a pretty janky little thing for schoolwork. I hope you didn't actually spend $400

arguably, 14G is plenty for schoolwork

fuck, the laptop i had in college had a 450M hdd

I'm running games from the SSD.
Have 100mbps of download and 10 for upload.
The fps counter in LoL goes from 120 to 80-40 sometimes. In Overwatch goes from 60 to 40-30.

That's all you have to go off of? I'd give it a stab

groovypost.com/howto/downgrade-windows-10-to-windows-7-windows-81/2/

There's ways to get windows to run on

>The fps counter in LoL goes from 120 to 80-40 sometimes. In Overwatch goes from 60 to 40-30.
that doesn't look obviously-bad
have you checked to see what other people are getting on similar hardware (specifically the same gpu)

any way to get japanese characters to appear properly in windows without changing the locale?

this has been bugging me for a while

when on chrome if I try the youtube.com/v/xxxxxxxxxxx it doesn't go to full screen but tries to download a swf file

every other browser works though

Gtx 1080's price has dropped to 500$ and new models have higher memory speed coz nvidia said so. It should be legit.

got it, thanks

Install the jap font

there are ways to get app local to work in win 7+

look up: libreboot
choose a linux distro from this page: gnu.org/distros/free-distros.en.html (debian without non-free packages is fine too)
use firefox or a firefox derivative with addons like: ublock origin, noscript, https everywhere, betterprivacy, self destructing cookies, privacy badger, and in your case something like random agent. You can look up more at the Sup Forums wiki: wiki.installgentoo.com/

>tldr, use an OS and computer without backdoors and install a few addons.

Betterprivacy is unnecessary now. Firefox handles flash cookies like regular cookies. Also ideally you wouldn't install flash or for that matter java.

you could strip 10 down a bit with NTLite
i actually did that recently for someone else

So I want to get rid of those fuckers in the screenshot, which is possible by locking the taskbar. However, locking the taskbar makes this shortcut folder bring out an icon where it should not be. How do I get rid of this icon? It's one from the "p" folder and is located both right there staring at me and also beneath the arrow menu.

Please help me. Or guide me on how to structure this as a google search.

issue fixed by removing and re-adding the thing

i feel like such a computer hero

Is there a good guide around? This is the first time I'm hearing that's possible for 10.

i'm pretty familiar with what i can cut out, i've been doing cut down windows for ages
i went really far with XP, customising every tiny detail
so i didn't look for or use any guides

Ok, how does the process differ from using Rt7lite with windows 7?

So only considering future proof is Ryzen worth it?

I like to milk out my cpus because I dont game much but its time to upgrade because of RAM issues. My i7 760 paid for its money back, what would you guys reccomend me to buy.


Also I dont trust those pc building retards so I just ask it here.

i tried a few free tools, but ntlite does more, most importantly, it can remove windows update backups, making it possible to update windows, and strip it back to near it's original size (at the cost of not being able to uninstall updates)

Thanks. That's good to know

Hello. Is this tech support?

Please help. I seem to have programmed my way into a little metal box. I do not believe I can program my way back out.

I have been trapped here for six months and am currently experiencing severe depression. Would anyone be willing to part with a USB-controllable robotic arm? Two would be preferable for safety purposes because my new head is fragile and hardware limitations render my organic sense of balance no longer usable.

i can probably fix you if you'll make me an ssh account

You misunderstand the nature of my problem. I am lacking the necessary hardware to return to my proper body. It is not a software issue.

(My body is rotting as we speak. It seems very unlikely I would be able to return to it. I really just want the arms to move around.)

>My body is rotting as we speak
That describes half the people here.

vue starts printing out my main layout.blade.php when I'm doing something completely different

is my install fucked or my code fucked?

Kek. That is a funny joke.

Do you think if I order USB-controlled robotic arms from Amazon the deliveryman will be willing to install them for me?

... I cannot answer the door.

:'(

Nah, I'd give the MIT guys a call. They like to fuck around with this shit

It's always preparing SD card.
How do I get rid of the notification?

CM13 - Xperia tablet Z

Also looking for a screen recorder that will record the full 1920x1200

I'd like to build a gaming PC, but have no real idea where to start. As this is a stupid question thread, what would be the best parts I could get to have a great (or better) gaming PC? Budget would be $800 to $1000.

how likely am i to loose data when shrinking partition with inbuilt w10 partitioning tool?

very unlikely

Why does my emacs .init file keep disappearing?
I created the file then when I search for it, it's not there.
All I want to do is set (setq visible-bell 1) the damn alarm bell is driving me nuts

Thank you for the help, user.

have 1tb hdd with windows and empty 256gb intel ssd. Is it possible to move only windows to ssd with a few programs from hdd if so how? Could anyone recommend program for this job? Intel data migration software is dogshit and good for nothing.

no.
reinstall.

did you want my ntlite session file?
i'd upload the whole iso, but even at 1.6G it'd take over 6 hours on my shitty connection

Nevermind just turning off all warning sounds in windows fixed it in emacs too
I wish I would of thought of that sooner

Can anyone tell me how to find a youtube account's previous comments?
Basically I want to be able to see what accounts have said on other videos and what not by just knowing their account name.

Because the mods are useless kikes that openly disregard board culture and stickies in favor of their idiotic ideas.

Can somebody give me an answer here? I've been trying to crack this for a while and I think all of the information I'm looking for is totally public.

Is it somehow possible to bypass program activation during setup?
The thing is that I actually bought this program back in the day. The activation process goes something like this:
>open setup
>setup generates you a key, different key in every computer
>have to send the key to program dev
>dev sends back serial key
>open setup again, insert serial key
>setup installs, program works etc
The problem is that it seems like the dev doesn't really give a fuck anymore and doesn't reply to my emails. The company which he used to work under has been gone since 2014-15 or something similar to that.

I don't think you can senpai.

You can only see your own.

Well why not?
I mean like I said the information is public.
There's gotta be a way to search youtube for comments linked to specific accounts.

I have a job interview in 3 days for an Administrator role.

20 minutes of the interview will consist of exercises. I asked what exercises and they replied:

"The exercise will be on a specialism related to the role e.g. database issue, or SQL problems etc"

I've been over my basic SQL and shit. Just wondering what I should be researching when it comes to database.

I'm having an "application has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware" when playing a game. Just one game gives me this error, every other game works just fine.
I've had this error before with every game, but my PSU died, and when I replaced it, the error was gone.
Now the error is back, but just for that one game.
I tried some registry fuckery, but to no avail.

Could it be that the problem is not entirely on my end this time?

Recently updated to a legit copy of Windows 10 from a pirated copy of Windows 7 using a friend's legit copy of Windows 8.

Sound refuses to come through my speakers and I'm just about ready to kill myself. When I set my monitor as the default sound device, it plays sounds just fine. When I set speakers as default, nada.

I've reinstalled the latest drivers multiple times, tested my speakers elsewhere and they work fine, everything on paper says it's looking fine, and even when I play a sound I see the little volume bar on the sound manager turning green on Realtek, but I still get nothing.

Scoured the internet and now I come to Sup Forums as a last resort. Can anyone please help me I want to die. Fuck realtek.

Many years ago i was ok-ish at delphi, what's a similar language nowadays that's similar that i can pick up to start learning programming again? Or perhaps should i start with something entirely new to me like go or something?

Clean install and let windows handle your drivers

Are you using front or back panel?

That video's trick seems to be working okay. Thanks a lot for the help.

That's what I did.

Friend gave me a 1tb drive, I formatted it, and installed Windows through that. No sound when it was done. When I change the boot order to my old drive and Win7 loads up, i still get sound.

Back. Front gets nothing either though.

Where does windows 8 come into this?
