Is hotdog a sandwich?

Is there a way to have a certain application display at a resolution different than windows?

e.g. I have a 1440p monitor but everything is too fucking tiny in firefox. I'd like to keep the desktop and everything else 1440p but lower firefox resolution to just 1080p or something smaller

I would argue that hotdogs resemble tacos more than sandwiches.

I've been having problems with my external drives being where my computer says "cant access drive". one i tried formatting but it doesnt format, the other have damaged sectors apparently, any helps going about this? at one point they do get recognized but i fucked up and accidentally pulled out the usb cord. if i must send these in for new ones i want to at least try and get my stuff off and wipe the drives

Only if the application supports it. Windows cannot into application specific DPI scaling, only global DPI scaling.
From what I've read, it takes some minor config editing to get Firefox specifically to scale and look normal. There's also other options, such as
addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fxdpi/
However I cannot test and verify if this works for you.

Have you tried mounting them after live booting a Linux distro?

How do I use it?

Is there a way to make the playback buttons larger on my Android phone (non-root) like for instance when I'm in the car and want to listen to music the playback buttons are super tiny and I can't really look at them while I'm driving

Not quite. I would recommend looking at different applications to suit your needs. While driving, I've found Spotify's playback control menu is fairly large.

Should I install a custom rom on my android? What's the best there is? How do I keep google away from spying my phone?

there is the car mode app on the galaxy apps for samsungs. i don't know about the other brands.

is it better to buy a cheap used ps3, or get some old prebuilt for double the price? plan is installing something like dream studio

maybe.
depends on your phone and what you want from it.
lineage os for example has a shit camera on my s7 edge but it is freedom friendly.
it may be unstable for your phone on the other hand. you need to try to see if you like the rom and switch if you don't.
you keep google away by not installing gapps packages (google apps) on top of your custom rom (supposing it is not based on the stock rom and doesn't come with gapps itself).
then you use free alternatives for gapps
fdroid instead of google play
newpipe instead of youtube
k9mail app instead of gmail app etc.

is kingroot a good way to root my phone (moto g5 plus)?

just want to uninstall all this shit that came with the phone

or should i do it manually and follow some youtube tutorial?

My firefox nightly doesn't update, I tried auto update and installing the build on mozilla's website but I'm still on wednesday build.

Any known workaround for that?

What was the nameof tthe cpu that you could just draw a line on it to enable OC

I generally advise against rooting specifically for removing bloat. Disabling applications should be enough in most cases. If it's a matter of storage, have you tried using a larger SD card?

AMD duron.

It's neither a sandwich or a taco. A hotdog is it's own category. It's the primary bun standard that all other bun combinations come from

My parents have a LG lw5500, i believe its 5 years old.
i've updated its firmware, but it's still do not support the Netflix app.

What can i do? I've read something about raspberry pi but still can't figure it out. Can i use some pc with linux as smart tv's brain or something like that?

what kinda course do I wanna take to get into hardware/electronics?

Buy a used PS3.

What's the name of this procedure where you convert binary file into a bitmap?

How do I learn python in 3 days as an existing dev?

I'm a C# dev.

Just get on and come up with a project or is there some good resource for devs out there? Stuff I've found so far is all python babby's first programming lessons.

Whats the difference between closed and open headphones?

In onee-chan, is there a way to get the boxes around posts to be less pronounced? Closer to the native extension? And is there a way to overlay the mascot over the posts instead of under them?

Nevermind, found the reason : the build wasn't updated in my language. Installing the english build got me full updated.

Can adware or bitcoin miners damage your pc or steal your info?

closed - sound is mostly contained within the muff, people will have to be standing in a quiet room with you to hear what you're listening to

open - sound escapes and everyone on the bus will hear your shitty lolicore

Ambient noise is more present with open headphones. This is a matter of personal preference.

Hypothetically, sure. That's not really the purpose of said software, or it would have a more fitting name.

Thank you. I feel relieved now

Is there a epic list or guide to switching over? This seems ripe for an good old infographic

pls dont bully mi lolicore :c

I'm trying to download all the folders of 2hu music from this site kuukunen.net/toh/ but every tool I've used from wget to other programs have just all ended up downloading the html file of the site and some other minor bits adding up to a few bytes or kilobytes. Does anyone know how I can download all these folders with any particular program properly?

I have a 60hz monitor. My computer can display 60fps stuff just fine, but when I connect my console to the monitor (PS4 HDMI to VGA adapter) it's not as smooth as it should be (on games I know for certain are constant 60fps). Any way to fix this? I also notice my monitor setting keeps going back down to 59hz instead of the full 60hz like I set it to on my PC.

Try a different adapter

Is VR porn worth it? What's the cheapest way to get into it?

hi im a stupid faggot
how do i make it so ublock origin doesnt stop me from posting on /adv/ but still blocks the ads on the page? i would assume the whitelist but wouldnt that allow ads as well?

>worth it?
subjective. personally the novelty is neat but nothing worth emptying your wallet for. though it was pretty slick back in like 2013 shooting vids with the misses with my evo 3d and watching it on my 3d tv when she wasnt home.
>cheapest?
google cardboard, like $10. load your phone with 3d videos

It's not really worth it. Just a way for people to feel less awful about their poor decision.

wget -e robots=off --no-parent -r --accept '*.mp3' 'kuukunen.net/toh/'
works for me. though it takes quite a while until it recreated the file structure before it starts downloading the mp3s.

So I have this 16x2 lcd display for my raspberry pi (which only uses 4 pins) and I can download examples that print text and shit. All well and good.

I'm having significant difficulties getting it to display the degree symbol (just to test how displaying temperatures will look). Declaring at the top of one of these python files something about it being utf-8, it prints some weird Chinese symbol instead of the one in the source code. Pic related, it's the 1100 0010 symbol.

Why?

Is there a difference in image sharpness when running a monitor in VGA compared to DVI/HDMI or am I just being a retard?

It's possible. VGA is analog and thus interference has a greater effect on it.

It's a novelty thing and due to the small selection it'll be harder or sometimes impossible to find your favourite fetishes or actresses. But since the phone glass things cost only a few bucks you won't lose much by testing it.

Ah ok, yeah that works. I didn't see any usage of "-e robots=off" when looking up the issue online, that must have been why it wasn't getting anything (that or I messed up --no-parent). Thanks user.

if you look at kuukunen.net/robots.txt it disallows crawling of /toh/.
the option just tells wget to ignore that and crawl it anyway.

what does Sup Forums think of SEO? is it Sup Forums?

i'm not sure there is a name for it
i mean, "binary file" and "bitmap" can mean the same thing in some contexts, they're both just raw data

A Hotdog isn't a sandwich mainly because without the bun it's still a hotdog, if you have a normal sandwich and take away the bread it's no longer a sandwich

anyone knows if there's a good 2FA plugin for thunderbird?

Is there any VPS that offers a large amount of disk space (1 or 2 TB) for a reasonable price? I need a lot of disk space for storing databases but the rest of the specs don't really matter that much, although having a high bandwidth limit or even unlimited would be a plus.

Why steam can reach a dowload speed of 1.5MB while qbittorrent never goes above 800KB even if im dowloading popular and well seeded torrents?

Hey, anybody have any experience in Calibre? When downloading fanfiction from ao3, I cannot add generated covers. Nothing I've tried works, and this isn't an issue with either sideloaded books, or fanfiction downloaded from other sites. Conversion doesn't help, neither does clearing the metadata.
This is getting really annoying and I can't find help anywhere else. Help?

Thinking of buying a Yoga 720, main use is art (CSP, PS)
it's got great reviews and when I tried it out at the store and it seemed pretty good.
I'm mainly interested in the specs since my current machine is too slow and shows bad colours.
Any thoughts? Alternatives? I'm feeling pretty set on it

A hotdog without a bun is not a hotdog but rather a sausage

Probably you router/modem not being able to handle too much connections.

I'm a technological dumbass and I need a new laptop. I'd like a fairly powerful one at a good price.

Is there a good place to find deals? Everywhere I look is just curated content, just disguised ads pretending to be a consumer guide in order to sell me overpriced trash.

Gonna put a new os to speed up an old laptop. What's the lightest and simplest for a noob? I was considering Chromium, Linux Lite, Lubuntu, or Mint.

I'm proxy_pass'ing with nginx to a windows server running the deluge webui, it seems to work, meaning that the title changes to "deluge webui" and the content triess to load, but all the deluge.js etc return a 404, resulting in a whitepage, how do I fix that?

Could you guys help me out with my doubt on replacing my operating system ssd. I've got my current one connected to a sata3 port on my z170 mono and running Win 10 on it. Wish to replace it with an M.2 drive but I don't want to lose any data or configuration like how my mbr is defined or what letter is assigned to it in Windows. If I directly connect my new M.2 drive, clone the current ssd to it sector by sector, and disconnect the old ssd before restarting, will I be able to keep my drive letter?

uninstall and reinstall

This is happening on my cheapo intel laptop.
>play nigh bitrate movie fan works,speeds up
>play HD video in FF it does the same
>fire up blender,kicks up during rendering
>play video game,CPU overheats and throttles after 30 minutes.

How can fix this?
There are no controls in the bios and performance profile is selected in windows.

Is this still relevant?

I have an msi b350 tomahawk (self-assembled system). while the system is running (in OS) sometimes it gives a weird short beep/buzz, but nothing seems amiss and all temps seem reasonable

what would cause this?

kingroot is bloatware itself. if you root with it, you need to change it to supersu afterwards.

I own the whole CM mouse line.
Inferno is better than the Claw and Sentinel Zero G by a county mile and is not even listed,so whoever made that list is trolling hard or talking out of the ass.

if you overlay it over post then it will block out text, just add a bigger right margin.

I'm planning on buying an i7 optiplex or something for media creation oriented gunoo slash lenugs system. Is it possible to overclock an i7 2600 on a generic mobo, or would I have to buy a new motherboard, case, and psu for it if I wanted to do it? at that point, I'd imagine it's close to buying a new system, so trying to keep shit relatively cheap.

Concurrent programming is useful when you have a lot of calculations to do, and you'd like to do them along side each other to minimize the time it takes, right? And threads or multiprocessing can be used for that, yeah?
Now I have a program that makes tons of HTTP GET request to a server. Sequentially, it takes forever, so I want to do it concurrently.
But how do i do this without the server thinking i'm spamming it and timing me out? Any advice?

Are you retarded?
After all benefits TR and EPIC have for workloads?

Not really. Half of them have been replaced by better successors, half have been replaced by much shittier successors, and the last half is just discontinued.

The only ones I can tell you about are G400 (superseded by G403, a worthy successor and one of the best mice out there), and G700 (superseded by G700s, which is officially discontinued but can still be found everywhere (e.g. on amazon), and has fantastic wireless with the option to remain wired).

what benefits do threadripper offer to a casual "content creator" that a cheap/basic i7 system has?
I'm factoring in price because I'm a poorfag probable autistic, and I don't really see a point in buying a HEDT system if I won't be fully utilising it

Depends on how the server detects spam. Most reliable solution is to get a ton of proxies and throttle the requests from each of them, so that the server thinks it's a whole bunch of different people making normal requests rather than one faggot spamming it.

Remind you of anything? That's how botnets work.

>be me
>have router in house
>have single ethernet cable running to shed
>need additional ports + wifi in shed
>have second cheapo router ready
I am terrible at networking, what do now? I'm assuming it's not quite as simple as just "plug router to ethernet cable in shed and you're done"?

final bump

what type of display is it?
(model)

configure the router to not act as a router put as an access point, look it up in the manual

I think so. I'm a scrub so I used Samsung's drive cloning utility when I got my (Samsung) SSD, but I don't think it did anything particularly fancy other than, well, cloning my HDD.

For best performance, though, it's always recommended to do a fresh install. Windows 10 licenses are fiddly but I have never heard about an disk swap invalidating one (if anything, changing the mobo is more likely to screw you up).

>casual "content creator"
There is literally switch to creator mode in the thing,encoding speed is doubled and work times slashed in half.
The whole marketing campaign was how good at content creators this processor is.
Are you living under a rock,and people wonder how intel is still in business.
watch this
>youtube.com/watch?v=bmRQmr_G3ew

not living under a rock, I purposely brought up optiplex because cheap as shit, 8 threads, and still decent IPC.
nothing new for the same price comes close.
while I wouldn't mind a TR4 system, it costs a lot more than I'd be willing to spend on a computer at the moment, and I wouldn't be able to fully utilise it in most cases, so it's be heavily underused

>fresh install
Out of option. I've spent more than a year to tune and tweak configuration of my Win 10 and I don't want to lose any settings.

I was recommended using a software called Macrium Reflect to clone. Is Samsung's tool any better?

What are some great webhosting providers that have a good price?
