I'm considering to take Udemy courses, now that there's a Black Friday sale that makes them cheaper.

What precautions should I take, besides excluding any course with "basic", "hacking", "kali", "pentest", and "deep web" out of my list?

I could find many many courses that seems interesting, but I already did this before: took many courses, but could add non of them to my curriculum/resume when needed a job. How to not fall on this trap?

how to block videos in firefox?
without them loading at all

is it doable per site or domain?
mostly want to forbid yt because of os player instead

You want to block the videos for yourself only, of for all users of your computer?

Which OS?

Is this a good collection of addons? Anything I need to remove because another addon makes it unnecessary?

So I'm going to be installing windows 7 on my new ryzen.
My AM4 mobo needs a patch to get it going since 7 doesn't recognize usb 3.0

I already have it, but was wondering the order of when to use it.

Do I mount the iso with rufus and keep the patch in the root?
Do I apply the patch and then mount with rufus?
Or does the patch also mount the iso?

are slower drives more reliable?

for example if i got a 5400rpm drive instead of a 7200rpm (or higher), would it last longer?

What am I supposed to lookout for when buying an SD card when I want one that transfers files as fast as possible? Tired of buying an SD and then it taking an hour to move less than 1GB.

Why not use TOR?

are you sure it isnt your computer's card reader? any modern sd card should be atleast class 6 (6mb/second) which would only take like 2 minutes to transfer a 1gb file

I use a USB SD card reader that was given to me years ago.

linux ofc, we use the firefox binaries from mozilla though
i want - when click a video link (say from yt search) to open the video page (as normal) but to not start downloading (buffering) the video at all

for example this one
hooktube.com/watch?v=zPlAyrrVdF8
just want to load the page but not the video stream

Is there any way to use gnu parallel to share a resource between processes or have I completely missed the point of the tool?

Blocked on Sup Forums

If you use Linux, try the FGLT, because there you will get better answers.

Is &autoplay=0 what you want?

and how old is the sd card?

unless you buy some weird ghetto chinese one from ebay, any card you bought in the past 5~ years will be atleast class 6 (or even class 10 if you bought a nice one) which like i said are very fast.

it's probably your card reader or your hard drive itself (if youre not using an ssd)

You use TOR for anything besides Sup Forums?

Need something to carry my XPS 13 in, any recommendations?

You could write a greasemonkey/tampermonkey script to simply set source to null inside all tags

I am trying to change my IP address (dynamic) via command prompt with ipconfig release/renew, but I'm getting a media disconnected error.

I'm on PC (Windows 10) and I'm using a Wi-Fi card connected to a router if that helps.

plz anonz sum1 halp

Are sonics arms blue or white

Cyberfox fag here. I've heard the newest FF is pretty good, but I'm afraid of losing my addons. Would there be a way to just dump my entire profile onto the new Firefox just to see what breaks and what don't?

just log in to your router page and do it

you cant change your ip address via ipconfig lmao. ipconfig only affects your computer, you need to release and renew the dhcp lease on your router (which will temporarily take down everyones internet in your house)

>router page

user I don't know what that is I'm retarded.

Backup your profile(make a copy of it in your profile directory) and just use that copy with the new firefox.Though alot of shit will break and you'd be better off starting with a blank profile and building upon it

type 192.168.0.1 in your address bar (as if it was a website)

thats the most common address for your router, but yours might be different if it doesnt bring up anything.

then you login and do what this guy says

How do you start up a pirated Origin game?

I've had a 4770k for about 3 years. Stuck it at [email protected] and just called it a day.

If I try to push any higher at anything under ~1.27V it will just crash, but if I push above 1.3V I can go fairly high. At 1.37V I can hit 4.6ghz, and it's stable and maxes out at 75c.

I'm wondering what kind of lifespan the CPU would have at this voltage. Is it stupid to leave it there?

What should I do when I can't stop crying because I've been standing in front of the fridge for hours only to finally realize that I'm not even hungry?

So I've logged onto the Frontier router page, but I can't figure out how to release and renew the "DHCP" lease or whatever. I don't even know what that is.

what motherboard drivers should i install when new pc with a gpu(not graphics integrated)?

do you have any links, i've never used monkeys before

it buffers

its a ff question really

seems to be a bit more complicated
some addons exist but not really fool proof and not working any more

All of them

Greasemonkey is an addon for firefox that allows you to write custom javascripts for any given site. Just install it and see some example scripts, you'll figure it out.

Are the SP packs that come on the win 7 iso's worth grabbing? Or just the standard win 7 iso?

Create a Facebook account, to do the same thing, but on a Web 2.0 way.

How?

Is this PCB fucked? Drive won't read and these contacts look fucked but I don't know enough about this stuff to say for certain.

...

whoa... who was in the wrong

those contacts are not connected to anything. if you have isoprpyl alcohol try cleaning the whole pcb with it and let it dry .

what's the cheapest m68k platform I can program m68k assembly on?

What is the best terminal program for Windows 10?

they are the ones that make contact with the drive itself, I'll try 90%, thanks

That's probably unrelated.
>Drive won't read
Is the drive detected but won't read, or isn't detected at all?

You might try the oven trick to reflow the solder, but it has best results when the drive isn't detected at all meaning a critical board failure. If it isn't detect, it might still work if there is something kinda wrong with it. If it's not that, and especially if you hear clicking, then it is likely mechanical and you are probably fucked unless you want to shell out for a data recovery service.

Do those cd laser cleaning discs with brushes work? Can they be harmful?

>Do those cd laser cleaning discs with brushes work?
Not really
>Can they be harmful?
Yes

An emulator is probably you best bet. Qemu can do m68k. Free and convenient. If you are really married to the idea of real hardware, IDK check ebay?

what was the name of that french movie about the internet again?

oh, didn't know that .
i still suggest trying iso, if that doesn't work you might be out of luck friend.

Ah, I thought we were looking at the other side of the board. Yeah 90% should do the trick.

Service Packs fixes most of glaring flaws of Windows 7. They are worth.

umatrix can do https
check the three dot menu on the pop up menu from the icon

if you can't figure it out, unplug the modem for ten or thirty minutes, isp drops the lease, pick up a new one when you reconenct
the modem is the box with the coaxial (thick, black, screws on) cable form the wall going in to it's butt

does anyone know if an imac will turn on without a cpu fan?

if it did boot it would not be very long before it shuts down because of temperature

try googling [your router] + release dhcp/renew dhcp

also how do you know you have a dynamic ip if you cant even figure this out? dynamic ips are pretty rare unless you specifically request one from your ISP. most likely you have a static IP in which case you still need to do the same thing but you need to set your dhcp lease time manually to something low (i think the lowest is 30 minutes?)

if you actually have a dynamic ip, this will work
but if you don't then your dhcp lease time will probably be defaulted to like 6 hours which means youd need to leave your router/modem unplugged for 6 hours and then hope you get a new ip (which may take even more time depending on congestion)

that isnt necessarily true if he has an open-air setup, imacs are basically laptop internals and plenty of laptops dont have fans at all (ambient cooling)

I'm installing a PCI NIC. The pins don't totally match the slot. Will it explode when I power it up?

It will turn on once.

Thank you.

en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677332.iso is the choice for me then.

How Linux LiveCD works?

I recorded some tv shows on a Magnavox HDD & DVD recorder and then burned them onto dvds. I then ripped the dvds creating .cdr files on my Mac laptop. When I tried to move the 4gb files one at a time to an external drive and I get the following message:

"The Finder can't complete the operation because some data can't be read or written. (Error code -36)"

I can move the files around to different folders on my hard drive just fine so I put them in my Public folder and then opened the folder on my Windows laptop and tried to move the files to the Windows laptop. I got the following error:

"Error 0x8007045D"

Is there any way I can fix these files? I really don't want to lose them. I have no idea what might be wrong. I always used fresh clean dvds and nothing weird happened during the burning or ripping process. I was able to move most of the .cdr files just fine it is only a handful that are giving me trouble. The error pops up at different times during the transfer process for different files, sometimes near the beginning and sometimes when the transfer is just about finished. Has anyone else experienced this problem before? Is there anything I can do to salvage the files?

If I can successfully burn a dvd from the .cdr file and then rip it on my Windows laptop creating an .iso file am I degrading the quality? Is there any hope or is this just a lost cause? Is there possibly a program that I can get that will fix the bad data in the file?

stop it get some help

how English works??

I have a coaxle cable in my living room connected to my modem.
I have another cable in my room but I don't use it anymore since I stopped using a DVR.
Can I use that cable for internet instead? What do I need exactly?
I'm using spectrum if that matters

I've never smashed a phone screen, but it leaves me wondering. Why not just make them all plastic screens and let us use a glass screen protector to counter the scratching? I thought maybe it would reduce visual quality a good bit, but the Switch screen looks pretty good to me in plastic.

So if I just enable "strict HTTPS" and it'll do the same thing as HTTPS Everywhere then?

I'm considering switching my WM to Openbox. Does anyone here recommend it or should I just stick to WM with batteries included.

Openbox doesn't do gtk 3

so i just updated fire fox and this piece of fucking garbage appears when i go too google.com, does anyone know how to remove this.

switch to duckduckgo

swtich screen probably has glass underneath i'm just guessing though

switch to a searx.me based engine

Any alternatives then? I'd like something lightweight and configurable. I've used i3 but I've found I only find the tiling really useful when working with terminal windows, which could easily be replaced by tmux.

>Can I use that cable for internet instead?
Does your computer have a coaxial jack?

The CD has all the files required to run linux and they're loaded off the CD when they're required. It works exactly like having linux on your hard drive except it's on your CD. It's better to have it on a hard drive since the read speed is much faster and you can also write to it and change system files.

I'm looking for a 144hz lowest input lag and response time 1080p monitor. Any suggestions?

What's a good program that lets you quickly trim and edit out parts of videos? I have Sony Vegas, but I don't want to spend ages re-r-endering stuff.

What's the cheapest (around $600) pre-built desktop that could run WoW?

>build your own!
I only play WoW and don't give a shit to do that.I literally only need it for word processing, internet, and WoW.

build your own!

this get to the pc building general for help and while you learn about building a pc you could maybe save up a bit more for even better parts. or build a cheap pc and slowly upgrade it.

I've been having problems with the fedora 27 netinstall. I keep on getting a non-fatal scriptlet error for the vim-common package but Anaconda consoders it a fatal error and terminates the installation. Anyone kmow a way to get around this?

If you're not picky about running on high settings, any off the shelf one in that price range from an electronics store will probably be fine.

Would the Intel ME vulnerabilities/exploits help develop coreboot in some way? Or are those things completely unrelated?

Maybe that retard that was asking how to print all Hex strings from 0 to 0xFFFFFF
will see this...I doubt it but I wrote a quick script to do it for you since you were to brain dead to do it

but I guess if you were to stupid to write something like this then you wouldn't
have the brains to post such a stupid question in /sqt/

#!/usr/bin/env python3

UPPER = 0xFFFFFF

def main():
u"""Prints all hex strings from 0 to UPPER"""
with open("Output.txt", mode="w") as text_file:
i = 0
while i

What is an irc client that supports bandwidth limiting for dcc transfers? I only know of kvirc but that has some sort of flawed implementation that is really cpu intensive

You could go for Arduino and Raspberry Pi in case you haven't already and make some robots.

>So I'm going to be installing windows 7 on my new ryzen.
do you understand that Windows 7 will lack the proper drivers to take full advantage of your new processor? whatever your reason is is probably not worth it. Just install Windows 10 and like Microsoft rape you up the ass or install Gentoo.

Actually, install Gentoo and don't look back. run run Windows 7 in a VM for whatever for whatever use case keeps you tied to Windows in the first place.

How do I check md5 and SHA-1 values?
I have to download a program for this, right?

if im trying to get a shitty min wage retail job (walmart, bestbuy, etc) do i just apply online or is there something else i can do by going in-store?

im a CS grad but my employment starts in the summer and i need money so i have no idea what im doing in terms of applying for shitty starter jobs. i know a lot of places are hiring seasonal right now though
