i want to make a very simple site so my mom can sell some of her hand craft stuff.

How i should go about it?

Install Gentoo.

In all seriousness, don't go crazy with the javascript.
Bloated js frameworks is a cancerous trend.

i was maybe thinking on using python or asp.net since it is what people use on the place i work.

Tomorrow I'm going to an interview in a hospital (Central Yurop). I applied there as a beginner sysadmin. Any helpful tips? Is wearing a suit fine? I'm pretty nervous. Thanks anons

Noticed my Memory timing was 11-11-11-28. The sticker on the side of the memory stick read 9-9-9-24, so I decided to try changing it in BIOS to that.

I changed it but frequency now shows as half.

I've never messed with memory so I'm new to this. Did I do something wrong? Did I fuck up?

Should I just revert back to the auto settings it had before?

How can I prove that I exist? I'm starting to believe that I don't exist and am simply someone else's delusion

Yes, your memory is rated to run at 11-11-11-28 at 1600MHz.
Probably 9-9-9-24 at 1333MHz or lower.

I've tend to find that fucking with RAM timings is more trouble than it's worth unless you're planning to overclock your CPU or something.

Why would you need to prove it? Why does it matter if you exist or not?

I have a all in one PC and want to upgrade the CPU because AM3 cpus are pretty cheap. leaving cooling aside it should boot any CPU right?

Now my question is, if i move from a CPU to an APU what will happen with the GPU?

Try to do something crazy on your own for fun, be creative. You just need a good laugh and you won't care about that crap. Imagine how fucked up someone must be to have a delusion of the crazy shit you're doing, make them feel bad.
Just don't get your ass kicked by Tyrone and his family.

What is a really good Vaper
I'm buying a new one

That is really silly.
Your own existence is one of only two things you can be absolutely certain of ("I think therefore I exist").

Everything else might very well be a delusion of your own mind, Including this post so deep down you probably already knew this.

Alright. I'll revert back then.

Thanks.

Anyone here know how to use kid3 or know anything about tagging music files? Why the fuck is it not saving when I click save? See webm related.

Not every CPU might be compatible with your motherboard.
Some might only be compatible after a BIOS update.
Check the website of your motherboard's manufacturer.

If your new CPU has onboard graphics you can choose between onboard or dedicated in the BIOS.

>Is wearing a suit fine?
It's easier to take off your suit jacket and tie to blend in than it is to whip them out of your bag to put on to blend in.

if you type anything in the blank does it work?
the copy paste might be trying to use some kind of different encoding/unicode/RTF shit.

>try to record video of game
>limited to a few hundred frames
>if I record for too long it will keep recording audio but the framerate will grind to a halt

I've got the settings of OBS super low, yet this still happens.
wat do?

>62599103
That doesn't work either. Also I should mention that if I change the title, the "no tag" icon changes to a save icon and it does let me save it but not the tags.

Thanks user, hopefully I'll get used to this.

Is there a program that I can leave on that will track how many hours I've spent using a specific program?
Something like Steam's function where it shows how many hours you've played, except I don't want to download steam on this laptop.

How does software like the linux kernel manage to utilize both newer instructions like AVX512 and support older CPUs that dont have those instructions?

if you compile it to use instructions that aren't supported by your cpu it just won't work

So, since the kernel in distros usually just werk, they have to be compiled for the lower common denominator, or what?

I have a pair of headphones that charge over Mini USB, is it possible to replace that jack with Micro USB or USB C?

There are tinyass adapters.

I think that would already fit in a tiny ass.

...

Single-mode fiber is designed to allow one specific wavelength to pass, right? So how is it possible to do bidirectional comms over a single strand, using different wavelengths for tx and rx?

Mini certainly.
It's electrically identical, just a different shape.

USB-C I think should work too but you'll have to look up some schematics and not fuck up.

That would too. And has.

Have you ever noticed how the headlight of a car driving towards you blocks out your own headlights?

No?
Well that's just because light doesn't do that.

I didn't root my android device for a long time, getting a new one setup tomorrow - whats the current deal with rooting, how do I have to root so the playstore and apps (ie. netflix) don't cuck me?

Heard there was something with "magic" in its android distro name that masks root? just like the old xposed module did.

I started teaching myself Python two weeks ago. Most of it I can make sense of by googling things but I keep seeing double quotation marks with nothing in between them. I have no idea what it does and I can't find an explanation anywhere. Here's an example from codingbat:

def string_splosion(str):
result = ""
for i in range(len(str)):
result = result + str[:i+1]
return result


What does result = "" do? Can someone point me to some documentation for this? Is it a blank string? I've seen it in other languages too but I've never figured it out.

But how does it use two different wavelengths if SMF is only supposed to accept one?

Writing is technology
I need a notebook that I can fit in my pocket comfortably. An inch thick is too thick. rigid isn't comfortable. amazon's most obvious options are 2big. what do?

time $PROGRAM
windows, dunno

does setting yourself to away on steam stop people from seeing what games youre playing?

is there a linux based alternative to android without all the greedy botnet google bullshit?
do i have to do stuff with my carrier or is it as simple as setting up any old linux distro

>Is it a blank string?
yes

you can just install android without gapps to get rid of google
but there are linux projects for phones, postmarketos and the like.

How do I securely wipe an android phone before selling it?

>inb4 factory reset
I don't think it securely overwrites the entire onboard flash memory.

Reflash it.

Thanks

encrypt then factory reset

You can't really. Best anyone's come up with is filling the storage and then encrypting. The older versions of android were really bad at what their factory reset would leave intact.

Does this really work? Because if that's the case I have nothing to worry as I loaded a bunch of custom ROMs on it and finally flashed a .kdz (it's an LG). Asking because when I first got it I made an image of the entire memory to run recovery tools on it (after factory reset) and I saw some of the previous owner data.

Thanks, I'll fill it with useless data, encrypt and then factory reset. The partitions that normally hold user data are /system and /data right?

Technically android is linux based. There are open source forks of android like lineage, but they usually have to adopt a lot of closed source blobs/drivers from your phone manufacturer to work. The phone ecosystem is inherently hostile to booting non-android based OSes in a way we haven't seen on PC in decades.

How do i explain someone his computer died and has no fix?
>HP computer that had 3-4 reflows already and 5th one wont work

No. System is the one that doesn't hold anything user generated, and data is more like where app data is stored.

Is Windows 10 really as bad for privacy as people say it is? What kinds of shit can Microsoft/NSA actually do to you if you have windows 10?

It's literally a keylogger.

You cant assign and concatenate in one go, and result would be reassigned every loop if you just assigned str to it. So they made an empty string and concatenated in the loop.

So just filling the internal sdcard should be almost it? I recall there's a separate partition for user apps, what was its name?

It literally tells you it will run a keylogger in the background in the terms of service.

Congratulations! You're the 10,000th person to ask that question with zero imagination or googling! You win a prize!

Are you talking about the "Get to Know Me" and "use your typing and handwriting to improve typing and writing" feature? What if you just disable that shit, is it still keylogging you?

Go easy, this is a stupid questions thread...

No, and yes.
There are 3 services running in the background dedicated to data collection for example, 2 which can be disabled easy and the 3rd one needs to break windows.
And this is only in LTSB, Home has even more.

Data and sdcard.

I've just built a new PC using an MSI b350 PC mate mobo. Everything seems to be working fine however the MSI command center software I'm using to control the CPU and case fans keeps reverting to the 'manual mode' 100% fan setting rather than the 'smart mode' fan curve I've set up every time I switch the PC back on. Anyone know why it's doing this? Should I be using some third party software to control the fans instead?

Use your BIOS settings to control fans instead a program.

If I'm more privacy conscious these days, would switching to Windows 7 be much help? Would that even be possible or feasible?

I use my computer for gaming so Linux isn't really an option, otherwise I'd go that route.

Is it possible to set up a fancurve that increases fan speed relative to temp like you can in the Command Center software in the BIOS?

Yes, and depends on the PC. The big issue is whether there are drivers available for the one you want

You also need to avoid telemetry updates to 7

Yes.

I need a small notebook/tablet with keyboard for school stuff.

Should I go with
Lenovo Miix 300-10IBY
or
VisionBook 9Wi Pro

Assuming your comp came with W10, it might be difficult, but it's usually doable.
VMs on linux can use an existing partition as a source, though, and the performance impact isn't necessarily large. if you really want to spend some time on it you might want to consider that option.

Virtualizing a drive was never the critical performance limitation of VMs, especially if you're running them off of an SSD or separate drive from the host os.

Thanks senpai

well i mean if he wants to keep the W10 partition more than anything.

How do I use a search engine web page?

yes
windows has been reduced to a glorified gaming os
use linux for anything important

I found a 4s in a box I bought at an auction.
How do I hold it?

Thank you, now it's making sense

You'll always hold it wrong, don't bother.

Anyone know if the lg g4 can be rooted yet?

Try using mp3tag. It's what I've used for years with great success. Or foobar, but I've found that inconvenient.

I haven't used either product extensively enough to say with 100% certainty but Lenovo hasn't failed me yet, so I'd say the Miix

Yeah, he could port it with VMware if he was really intent on not doing a clean install for some reason. Games are usually pretty easy to reinstall though, especially steam.

>mp3tag
is it on linux? and does it work with .wavs or only mp3s?

Is there a way to _force_ firefox to load flash on a page if it's not requested?

"always activate" next to pluggin

my stupid question:

how is this player called

ncmpcpp

By its name probly

k I tried it with mp3tag and it didn't work. I guess there's just a problem with this one file because I can change the tags with other songs

Thanks, it's starting to make sense now

I was going to buy this
bestbuy.com/site/wd-easystore-4tb-external-usb-3-0-portable-hard-drive-black/5792405.p?skuId=5792405

But someone said it was micro usb-b, which was bad.
Might someone explain to me why that's bad?
And what is something better I can get that has the same storage capacity and a similar price?

sure thing, any other questions im board at the moment

I've got that, but this page has a button that uses flash to play audio and the audio won't play, and the icon that usually appears next to the url to show that flash is active is not appearing. I've confirmed it works on some pages on the site, but not others.

If I made an application that uses SQLServer Compact and I transferred the application folder with the database inside it to another pc, would the other pc need the SQLServer Compact runtime as well?

That's not bad. Also it's not micro-b. It's just usb3, and if somebody says you need usb-c, they're a tard. Half the shit out there doesn't even have c ports yet, and there's no advantage over usb3 for HDDs.

How can I create a zero file to fill a harddrive in linux? Currently using dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mydisk/junkfile but it seems to be rather slow.

Whats the first thing you do when the partyvan shows up and why is it disconnecting your vga cables?

use /dev/zero

This is NOT a sparse file amirite?

I have a really nice laptop that I just bought, but the problem is that it's Windows 10 and has a tiny (256 gb) SSD. From my old desktop PC I have a 1TB HDD, but too big to use in my laptop. If I got some kind of USB adapter, would it be worth using as an external HDD, and would I be able to boot up my old Windows 7 with it, or would it cuck out since it's not the same PC as the original it was installed on?
