Why do package managers make such a huge ass mess? Why are make files shitty and complex? Why is there no ISO package manager for C++? Why Linux Desktop so shit and un-normie-user-friendly with such a extreme dependence on the terminal? Are there any alternative philosophies to UNIX? Are they even good.

Sodomites will burn in hell when they die

it also connects our farts! hahaha xd

I have a super bloated android phone(samsung galaxy grand Prime) I've just bought. I want to install a fresh ROM then root it. wat do?

I need a cheap microphone for my personell computer

Is pic related still the thing people buy? It's 5 shekels I'm afraid it will fall apart

My dad is getting to be hard of hearing, so my family was going to get him headphones to watch TV, but that would stop the sound so we couldn't watch anything with him.

Is there an easy solution to let one person use headphones while still playing sound through any TV? I'm guessing it just depends on the TV, so there's not much I can do.

Ive had 2 Deal Extreme mic's, both broke within half a year, Been using this Zlaman for one year now and it hasn't let me down.

So when I boot into Windows it stays at black screen and I can only see the cursor. I tried about everything that comes up on Google and nothing helped. What do?

How exactly can I free up usable ram?

Tried the msconfig thingy but didn't work

Is there any decent website for serials/cracks or even any tracker that deals in general programs like Demonoid used to do all those years ago?

as far as cheap tat goes, it's a more than acceptable microphone. had one for 3 years now.

How hard would it be to enable legacy add-ons on Firefox Quantum? Like, using all the same stuff but with the ability to use older add-ons, and maybe with telemetry removed.

Why does Linux break my Windows partition if I access windows files from my Linux OS ?

Is it still possible to intercept and decrypt raw satellite feeds?

ayy I'm retarded someone help. I tried to download some porn off of piratebay earlier, and some system32 text box popped up and said something about (something)health.exe. I scanned with windows defender, and it found something called hacktool, and removed it. I'm going to scan again, and I downloaded malwarebytes as well. Should this take care of everything? How can I be sure? I haven't downloaded malware since I was a kid so I'm kinda shitting myself a little. Again, no need to call me retarded, I know. I'm gonna stick to streaming from now on.

What does Sup Forums x do that makes people here say its a must have?

I'm trying to figure out uMatrix. Can anybody tell me what it is that fucks up the basic functions of most websites with it? Like, I have to keep disabling it because I can't even open a link with it enabled.

A lot of options and quality of life improvements. You can also use OneeChan with it to make your own custom theme like pic related.

What is the currently recommended add-on for having more than one layer of tabs on Firefox?

My DTA doesn't have a close button and I need to either alft+f4 close it or use the icon on the taskbar (see pic) how do I fix this?

I’m building my own PC and I was advised to buy a USB flash drive of Windows 10 Home since I don’t have a DVD drive.

However, I do have an external DVD drive that plugs in via USB. Should I just buy the CD of Windows 10 or try to track down the USB? If so where can I find the latter?

Every time I log into my session, the command "electron" seems to be run, since I get this electron dialog immediately on my desktop.

Q: which things do I have to look at to find *all* the code that is run at login?

It may be a systemd service or something that is doing this, but doing `sudo grep -r "electron" /` just gives me too much output, and nothing that useful it seems

Are you sure they didn't tell you to buy a USB and then download a Windows 10 ISO and burn it to the USB for installation? That sounds more logical than what you said.

Also why the hell are you building a PC without a disc reader in the case?

I saw a howto somewhere a couple days ago, but never read past the first sentence that said it broke multi-process.

There's still the option to on Nightly and Developer edition of Beta. Otherwise you're describing one possibility the waterfox guy was considering down the line. It's not SUPER hard to jerryrig them into 57, but the browser is going to migrate farther and farther away, so at a certain point it will be very hard to do that. Telemetry though is a meme. You can disable that in stock firefox with some about:config settings.

Easier captchas, autopost after countdown, way easier to follow reply chains, post picture from link, etc etc. Seriously use it for one afternoon and you'll wonder how the hell you've made it all these years.

Buy nothing.

other than "muh nsa", how is windows 10 worse than windows 7?
also, how do i get windows 10 now that it isn't free anymore? pirate the .iso off of pirate bay then what?

Why do I need to limit the number of active seeding torrents in my client? Do more active torrents slow anything down even when I'm just waiting for connections?

For Windows 7, how do I make a multmonitor setup of different pixel density scale correctly for extension?

>Post your global scope
how?

Because I was told that a USB was the best way but the ones I’m seeing seem to be pirated ones. My buddy stated as such.

But would I be able to install with the external drive?

Buggy, more restrictive, having to consume every forced update if you don't want your OS to be unfinished trash.

Like that, but zoomed out to show all the columns. And have some news article or something open. Better yet, just paste your whole ruleset. I'm assuming it's pretty short at this point.

Any practical downsides of disabling powerplay?
Apart from the obvious higher idle temps, power draw and quicker hardware wear?

Any noticeable benefits?

What could it be?

>pic related, specs

ok, but what shit is being run at startup besides systemd services that might do this?

It actually looks like each time I boot up, something creates a new gnome autostart file.
I delete it, then reboot and it is created again.

Also checked xinitrc and nothing suspicious there.

No, only autism level retardation

What's the best free, (actually free, not trial shit,) DVD ripper?

To clarify no, I was linked to an Amazon listing for it.

Boost Mobile says there are only a handful of phones you can bring to their network - mostly iphones and samsung galaxies.
But if I get some other model, say a oneplus or xiamai, and it has the correct bands, can't I just the SIM card in and it should work? Or say I spoofed the device to register as a galaxy? Is this possible? I don't understand how they could tell

There's no advantage installing with USB over DVD except speed. Go to the pastebin, use the link, bam. You've got whatever form you want. You can install from an external drive, but not onto it.

Poor man’s way is VLC (just record)

There’s Handbrake but nowadays everything’s copyright protected

I appreciate the link but I’m comfortable with buying the OS.

would you hang out with mkbhd?

Buy it if you want, the point is you don't need a copy of it, it's right there, in either form. All you need is the license.

Is there a way to get Discord, Netflix, Skype and Crunchyroll on my Android phone without using Google Play?

Is this good?

Is this on laptop?
You may have allocated a lot to the iGPU by accident.

yes I remember watching C3 video on the topic.
Go check their youtube channel should be there.

The only example you have is 4chin obviously. HTTPS strict might be causing some interference, but I notice you also haven't whitelisted the CDN. Unfortunately there's no way to automatically whitelist first party CDNs, so sites that rely on them for advanced media content will often break. Also you might need google and gstatic for captcha.

I have a goy pass so I don't need to worry about captcha. Thanks though.

reddit.com/r/BoostMobile/comments/79o3jf/will_any_unlocked_phone_work_on_boost/

"The phone needs to support CDMA and EV-DO, and bands 25, 26, and/or 41. 41 is optional.
You can use the site at www.frequencycheck.com to find your phone model and even compare it to the carrier.
Sprint = Boost.
So basically I just need those bands to work? Interesting. Thanks!

Any way to rectify this?

Yes it's a laptop

are there any good public music-focused trackers left?

How can a website know that you have a certain program installed and refuse you access until you uninstall it?

rutracker is good for most music. You have to sign up, but I don't think it even requires email confirmation.

So I just boltmodded my ibm model m but the space bar doesn't give a very loud click when the spring buckles compared to all the other keys, how can I fix this?

rutracker seems to have died out around 2014

Is there a way to make HTC Vive and Oculus Rift runtimes to support SLI and Crossfire?

my gf essentially wants a web browsing machine that she can watch video/netflix on, should I get a tablet or is a cheap chromebook or notebook best? I have no idea about lower end portable tech. Her taste is basic but not so basic as to have everything Apple.

On that note, What happens if you download a few apps from the Google play store, and then completely change your phone operating system to something that’s not awful?

If you read this and you are not sitting with good posture, you have to:
>log into your microsoft account
>go to the privacy section
>look at your activity history
>look at all the data Microsoft has collected about you
>come back to Sup Forums
>post another shill thread about how great Windows 10 is
i dare you

I dont have a microsoft account

It doesn't.
Reformat it. Doesn't worth the risk.
Read its wiki on github.
You don't have to. Also this is XY problem, a fallacy. it-fail.soup.io/post/124567049/The-X-Y-Problem-as-it-is
Indexing? Ctrl + alt + del, on some tab, bottom right there should be advanced thingie, click and see what's eating your disk IO.
I don't talk much to other people's niggers, only my own.
Buy toshiba, WD and SG is probably sucking threeletter's cock under the table.

How to disable this?

install gentoo

Uninstall nvidia experience

Not a question

Also I can guarantee that Google has 10 times more data than Microsoft about me so I just can't gather the strength to give a fuck about it.

>It doesn't.
But it did and I am sure that Linux has something to do with this.

Tell about how did it happen.

Linus was the last OS I used yesterday. I moved some files from the windows partitions to my Linux partitions. Ran some stuff in wine and when I booted windows today it went straight into this HDD repair tool. I have no idea what caused this. It's not that bad but it was annoying

Can you still access your windows partition from your Linux? If so, its windows thats been broken itself.

Also you don't even know your OS's name and using wine? This must be a bait. Sorry.

google is your friend. this is a common issue

My dads computer suddenly made a noise and then the resolution changed to 1024x768 while it used to be 1366x768. I'm unable to change it back, tried downloading graphics drivers from the manufacturers site and through Windows but didn't work. It also says "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" when I check the properties of the graphics card.

It's and old computer, did the graphics card just suddenly die?

Model Samsung NP-R620
Windows 10

ALRIGHT

So basically, my girlfriend's keyboard will randomly change the mapping while playing a game, and we're out of ideas. For example, when it activates, ESC will act as the Windows key, some buttons will work in the game, but the same ones won't work outside the game on a browser. And the ones that do work do weird shit, like opening bookmarks etc. Really fucked up. Here's what we know:

-Sticky keys disabled
-Only one language setting
-Language/input switching shortcuts disabled
-Tried switching USB ports
-Tried another keyboard
-No malware
-Hitting Ctrl+Windows key or holding Windows key will sometimes fix it

Anyone know what the fuck is going on? Only started a week ago.

Both Windows and Linux work fine now.
>Also you don't even know your OS's name and using wine? This must be a bait. Sorry.
wat, it's Manjaro/Win7. And wine let's me use a couple of programs on my windows partition. Why would I use wine ?

wouldn't*

CAN ANY OF YOU ARCH i3 RICEFAGS TELL ME WHY nm-applet WON'T SHOW UP IN MY i3bar SYSTEM TRAY?

How much dedodated wam do I need to Minecraft server?

Hello
My computer runs perfectly whenever it is performing a task, even serving data to my ps4 or something, but if I leave it to idle then it will switch off without warning within a few minutes.

All power saving settings are off, components are not too hot.

Running windows 10 (yes I enjoy the botnet)

I've tried nothing, and I'm fresh out of ideas.

Fairly sure it's not the hardware but I'm open to suggestions. Google is no help at all.

Is there a reason to queue seeding torrents when I'm not having any upload connections on more than 2 at any time? Does the search for peers on the active torrents without connections tax my router too much or something?

Try Yalp store from fdroid
If any of them don't work without gcm try microg

Are there any Androids that aren't Motorola or Goofle and have an AOSP ROM?
Is it true Sony is doing AOSP these days?

You mean a non-community supported ROM? I think xiaomi had a recent play store edition release. If you want your phone supported for more than one major release though you have to go with a community ROM

Yeah, or just giving out the source like Google do so I can compile my own ROM and just roll in the binaries and it just werks without having to fuck around too much to get it working.

How do I sync subtitles with a movie myself? Can I just add a few seconds delay or something when they show up too soon or vice versa? Im using mpc-hc as a player.

Press F1 or F2

I have a dumb TV and old smartphone. Can I connect those two via USB?

Why is uBlockOrigin letting so many ads though since yesterday? Even getting some on jewtube and google. All filters and settings checked. Anyone else?

Any sub $75 netbooks I could find? Just want it to do some simple google doc work and what not.

Free host that allows you to have a domain?

That's exactly the kind of shit you cannot do on a $75 netbook. Google docs is a pure javascript program which required a good computer to run at a usable level.

kill the process, stop it from starting on boot

Static? github,netlify.

>netlify
Thanks man, giving this a try now.

Imagus. It's the best
