Heyyo, can anyone tell me what "Windows binaries" really means?
I want to download and install a program and I found the "binaries", also descibed there as self-extracting archive, and when I run it some wizard runs and then I have a folder on my PC. But after the supposed program in not callable from the terminal. How to actually install the program?

Can someone tell me if it sounds like executing this binary wizard should be it, or if I should have to do something else.
It might be related to MSYS2 and all those tools.

Thank you very much.

Is there a way to effect the tags of audio files without editing them directly on file? Tags from tracker are shit, but I need to seed them.

there is a source code - the code that programmer writes
and then that is turned in to a binary, a compiled version of the source code, in windows its usually .exe file
when you open it in editor its just nonsense cuz its compiled for execution, its in "binary" its in ones and zeros now...

seriously doubt there is, where else would the information be put?

HDD doesn't seem to power up; makes no sound.

Would this be the kind of error that can be fixed with a new PCB? Also, does PCB replacement need anything other than the special screwdriver?

Anyone know how to keep cool n quiet on on a ryzen 1700 while overclocked/undervolted?

Not a big deal, as the SOC is what consumes the most by far at idle, but it would be nice to have

if you want to call it from cmd (e.g. java/javac), the folder containing the exe has to be on your $PATH, which you can set in Settings

how do I use Firefox with a window manager?

Pretty much most if not all HDDs dont like their PCB changed.

Did you check that the SATA power cable is connected correctly?

might be lack of power, but you cant just replace PCB on the HDD with soume roughly the same
you need same model and series and even then it might not work

double check the power going in from the psu, and listen to spin up, if nothing... move on... or do some serious googling

by being in linux ;)
for some reason it works fine here

when booting to windows I am full clocks all the time
though, I have power consumption meter on my desk
and its 68W - 70W idle no matter what, even when full clock in windows
which is rather strange, of course it shoots up on load
but one would expect higher power by at least 15W just because every single core is clock to max...

heres pic from arch, with stress test on one core
its 1700, clocked to 3.5ghz...

Very same way you use it with DE?
or you have trouble even launching it?
get some launcher like rofi

otherwise you have a workspace where you keep your browser and switch to the workplace when needed, at least thats my way in i3

The cores barely consume any power at idle
Its the uncore/SOC which uses the most (about 20W)

the thing is that I had power consumption meter for some time
and for example keeping memory of AMD cards on full clock while in multiple monitor setup consumes a lot of extra power
one would expect something similar with the cpu cores
but maybe there are some changes, and the power delivery is differently tied to actionable load rather than current frequency

which I guess they cant do with memory clocks.
but I am quite sure that in the past if you would take older cpus and set the clocks to be staticly at max, the power consumption would be easily observed as higher than in mode where it downclocks down on idle

Well I asked it in the other thread, so I'll ask it here.
I flashed my Moto X back to Android 6.0, but it can't connect to wifi. I can't even turn on wifi mode. I tried flashing to 5.1 and it's doing the same thing.

It does make a difference in power consumption of the cores
Its just not very noticeable when they already consume only 5-7W at idle, while the SOC takes up 20W

>spare router set up as a wifi bridge
>works fine for weeks
>power goes out in the neighborhood
>comes back on
>unable to connect to spare's SSID
>main router's SSID still connects fine
Anyone know what could be causing this? I tried restarting both routers.

Also I suspect it might be something about the way the spare is set up. I'm pretty sure I manually entered the main IP by looking at whatever it was at the time when I was setting it up, and it probably changed after the forced reset when the power went out, since it's dynamic. I still don't know what exactly I should be looking for, or how to set up the bridge to automatically adjust to the dynamic IP, if that's the problem in the first place.

here's a new sqt op image

what you guys think

The routers shouldn't have dynamic IPs. How is the primary connected to the secondary?

does anyone know approximately how much more difficult it is to cool an i7 vs an i5?

tiny tiny bit, assuming stock and i7 being clocked tiny bit higher

I'm new to Ubuntu so sorry for the basic question. I've been trying to change MPV's settings and found a guide on create the conf files. But when I go to edit it, the changes don't work. Am I entering the lines correctly? I'm taking them right from the manual.

Double-hyphens are only used when you run MPV from the terminal. Just get rid of them.

I have a modem/router combo connected to the ISP's cable and the spare one is connected to it wirelessly. I'm waiting for an Ethernet coupler to be delivered so I can connect them through a cable I have running through the wall, but is too short to reach on one side.

if my upload is worthlessly slow (literally 10kilobytes/second) am I actually acheiving anything by seeding? even if I leave my client on 24/7 most of my torrents never reach 1.0 ratio, because it's so slow.

What is the purpose of the second router? Are you using it like a wireless repeater, or like a wireless adapter for a specific device?

MY FUCKING NIGGER SP WON'T LET ME CHANGE THE DNS ON MY ROUTER
FUCKING REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Repeater.

I'm probably wasting my time here, but does anyone have any experience with managing variables in an interpreter? I'm currently using a linked list of hash tables, but I'm sure there must be a more efficient way that uses indexes or something

is there any way i can get the GNOME "super key open windows preview" on windows 7?

Thanks. Turns out I was using entering the line for the template for the screen-shots wrong, but I get it now.

ok my temps were super high. it might be because the new thermal paste hasn't burned in yet, but i think it was mostly because my mobo set the voltage to somewhere over 1.26 volts which is way too much. i'm currently down to 1.965 volts stable and temps are much closer to what i was seeing with my i5 under load

How much is too much to spend on a memory card?

256 gb SanDisk microSD is ~$150 right now. That seems kind of steep granted that I bought a 128 gb for $100 like two years ago and is now $45

unless you using old schoold shitty arctic cooling, then theres no curing thermal period, even with that the temps were down like 4°C after those 100 hours...

would recommend reseting uefi to default settings

Okay, I reset the secondary to factory settings and set up the bridge again and now it works, though I would like to avoid having to do it every time one of the routers is turned off and on again.

Give me your best ad infested websites to see if my adblocker is working.

guys, i've installed ubuntu on my toaster and i'm trying to improve performance/ricing it
my question is: is it possible to change the desktop environment without downloading a whole new distro? how exactly do i do that?

Not seeing any ads on those websites, and finalcial does say I'm using adblock.
I'm trying out Pi Hole for the first time.
Apparently it doesn't work as well as uBlock, since I'm seeing these shitty ads on Sup Forums after installing a tone of lists. Pornhub actually stopped working altogether with all the lists I added and yet I still see this shit

apt install [DE metapackage name]

Do not change the pcb of a hdd. Well if its broken anyways you can but I dont expect it to work. You'd need the exact same pcb.
Just buy a new hdd/ssd, since you surely made backups of the files on a hdd.

Pic does not relate to the topic except the sqt letters so I dont like it. be creative

cool, but where do i find its metapackage name?

packages.ubuntu.com
apt search [thing]

Just buy a different one and put the open router software on it.
SP routers are the absolute pain in the ass when it comes to dns because they mostly lock it down.

thank you very much

thermal paste does not "burn in" lol

Why is the MSI RX570/580 Armor series cheaper than the others? Does it suck?

Either I am stupid and did something or Windows 10 is fucky.
I have a desktop with windows 10. I have tied my user account on it with my windows live email address.
This issue is regarding my laptop. It is also running windows 10 but has NOT been tied to my email.
Issue: I shut down my computer, as the sole administrator user account. The account that came with the laptop, just renamed. When I have booted up my computer and prompted to sign in, somehow it has synced with my desktop. Rather than the pin password, it is now my email password. This account now has NO admin permissions; I went to delete some files and it says "you need permission to perform this action".

I tried signing out to see if I could select the admin account, but it is not there. There is only this useless one.

How do I fix this? I have tried giving this account folder specific permissions so I could delete some junk files but it still won't work.

no backplate, plastic instead of metal frame for fans, less heatpipes in the heatsink

but no, I would not say that they suck at all
good value
techpowerup has review of gtx1060 gaming and armor
so you can see the differences, very likely the same for AMD cards

I upgraded my S6 to nougat today and now some pics in my gallery have those icons on the top right corner.

What do they mean?

Another one

i updated to the most recent bios and now the mobo is sending 1.080 volts to the cpu which is a huge reduction from the 1.26 it was sending previously. thank you for being so much more helpful compared to the anons in the thread last night
other people on the internet disagree though i'm inclined to believe you. my problem was way too much voltage

Save to cloud storage

how do i get an argument into my script in basic windows cmd or powershell
the argument would be a file's name

the script would be something like this

$path1 = ...
$path2 = ...

cp $path1/howdoigettheargumenthere $path2/howdoigettheargumenthere

Just buy 2 128gb cards :^)

hahahaha omg you cheeky bastard (^:

When I buy an USB, why do the GB of the box and the GB my OS show me aren't the same? There's always less GB.

the missing gb is taken up by firmware (wrong term probably) used to make the flash drive usable.

If I install and driver my screen is black after win7 logo. On win 10 it auto installs the driver so black screen.

If I use safe mode/ unistall the drivers my PC works fine on shit res. What could be the issue?

Does anyone know where I can get working rhino 5 license key?

youtube.com/watch?v=DufUYmtVYYU

How can I copy images from my PC to my iPhone?

>arbitrary definition means Pluto isn't a planet

yeah, nah.

Do you mean a cracked license? Here is a key generator for rhino 5. I don't know if it works.

You can use cloud storage services something like dropbox, google drive etc. and download the app for them.
You could use Portal and Pushbullet.
You can upload the images to somewhere online like Imgur and access on phone.
You can sync photos through itunes.

>You can sync photos through itunes.
this seems like it would be the most desirable option, but I don't see a photos menu. What do?

doesnt work, i've tried all websites

I have not used itunes in over a year so I am basing this off memory...
Plug in phone, open itunes, select your phone, on the left side where you selected there should be an arrow for a drop-down showing categories. One should be pictures or photos.
If that doesn't work, you can download a file explorer app, then go into the apps category of your device on itunes, select the app, and drag+drop files (or an upload button?)

Try this:

nope it says please fcomplete required fields with an exclamation mark on the serial code

if I want to run linux on my ram, how much ram do I need for a 3GB root?

at least 3gb but probably more

what I wanna know is if I need more for the programs to copy themselves again to the ram (like they would usually do when you are running the os from the storage unit) or if I just need a bit extra?
does the kernel know the root files are already on the ram?

codes dont work, tried while on airplane mode.

Twitch support told me I should Microwave my RAM to fix it. Is that really good advince?

I don't know. Have you tried recent Youtube videos?

the Livestreamer CLI tool has slowly stopped working on more and more sites as it's now effectively dead/unmaintained

Sup Forumsentlemen who have used this tool before, what is the best available replacement? I know I've seen a couple of names thrown around but I foolishly didn't note them down at the time

thanks

HELP!
I had a cool wallpaper in my phone, but I changed it. The new didn't look good, so I wanted to change to the old. There wasn't in my gallery/Google Photos. Is there any history of wallpapers, or how can I recover it?

I don't know how to unbamboozle this.

most of them leads to trojans and are made using bandicams.

Do people actually use desktop email clients? They seem to be on the same level as RSS feeds.

You said this is a temporary solution though

hey, is there anyway i can connect to a wifi with password?

Which people also use

Yes, by typing it in.

>not auto downloading your danish rolling cheese slideshows

For the ram or the microwave?

yea thx,
but if i dont know the password?

Then find it out.

Then type it in.

gimme a hint at least, i tried a zillion combinations

Yes.

please, help me with this.

No

you have to know the password.
if you don't have it then you don't get to connect to it, it's that simple.
