does anyone know of a free way to move files from an Iphone to a PC?

>Iphone
Found your problem.

I want to get RID of my Iphone, but I just bought a new PC and all music is on my phone.

I have stupid question. It's stupid because I already know the answer "Uninstall Windows 10". And I'm stupid because I'm going to ask it anyway, hoping against hope there is even the slightest possibility I get a different answer. But here goes anyway.

Sometimes, my win 10 seems to hate win 10 elements. A restart doesn't always fix it, sometimes it takes multiple to do so.
The start menu stops working, but everything on the bar works. The settings menu doesn't work, but control panel does. I can open an image in gimp or paint, but neither photo nor paint3d will launch. Basically all non-windows programs work, and all the "old" windows stuff works. But none of the win 10 bullshit does.
The fuck is going on here?

can you do an itunes transfer

Hey Sup Forums I've been having a problem where I can't use an internet browser. My PC is connected to the internet, I can see it through steam, the network panel, etc. But none of my internet browsers will connect to the internet. I get a connection time out. I've turned off my firewall and that did not help either. Any help? I can't think of anything that would block just my browser.

Will this laptop play skyrim and league of legends or do I need a video card or something?

i decided to download python/IDLE because ive never programmed and it seems fun. after fucking around with it for a bit, it actually is quite fun. i want to eventually join the l33t club of C coders but ive read that C has a much steeper learning curve than python, so im sicking w/ python and once i get some experience with it i'll try learning C syntax

is this good plan?????????? or waste of time?????? thank !

Yes. I wouldn't expect to run all games flawlessly on Max settings, but it will run LoL and Skyrim.

Tldr is a motherboard change the only option left?

>I'm trying to repair a pc (not mine) with w10 on it. Its issue is "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT" bsod. I've already tried reseating the ram, resetting the cmos, replacing the ram, replacing the m2 and replacing the ssd.
>When I try to install a new copy of w10 from usb it immediately gives the w10 bsod mentioned above and then resets attempting to boot, then fails (it remains on the bsod screen). Is there anything else I can assume besides the motherboard now? The computer is an Alienware Aurora R5. I've checked out the manual on dell's site already.

Alright, the good news is that I managed to install a new PSU without damaging anything yet, but it still didn't fix my slow boot issue.

The motherboard/cpu are my last hardware options. What are some symptoms of those starting to fail?

What's the recommended way to learn C#?

is there a way to estimate how long it would take to wget a directory?

What happens when two pull requests modify the same file on github? after one is merged does the other one conflict? does git have some sort of system that tracks only the changes to the file and reapplies them and avoids conflict that way?

I use a virtual machine for games, including old games. I passed through a dvd drive for them. They install from it just fine but when it actually comes time to play them, it does not detect the game disc. This isnt a problem when i boot bare metal. How do I get the games to properly detect the disc while in the vm? I use kvm/qemu. I can post the portion of my xml file i added to pass through the physical dvd drive if you need it.

How easy/hard it is to update BIOS? Why do every BIOS update site is filled with warnings not to do so unless you're 100% sure?

I want to secure my PC

can I prevent ublock origin from hiding an element with a specific class name in a website?

It's pretty easy actually. They just put up warnings because if something happens during that tiny window of time like a power outage it can do more harm to your PC than almost anything else, although usually it's not completely irreversible. Just check that the file downloaded correctly and make sure there's no risk of the power running out and you're good.

Traditionally there hasn't been much point updating the bios unless it enabled some hardware feature, but it will probably start being more important as people get better at exploiting the plethora of weaknesses they have.

Based on your aswer it's basically like updating any software right? Download, let it run, turn on.
Does it matter if I don't know the specific .rev of my MOBO?

I know the exact model name and all but there are two different pages on the website, one for rev 1.0 and one 1.0, and I don't know which one I should check downloads for.

*1.0 and 1.1

Why doesn't wine work for Windows 10 and Xbox software?

How do I view where the most space is being taken up in my drive?

microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Reinstall windows and make sure to do an install that keeps all your old files and programs

>Based on your aswer it's basically like updating any software right?

Yes, but with higher consequences if it goes wrong. Don't be running ANYTHING in the background while you do it.

You should find any version info you need by digging around in the bios.

All right, thank you

How do I into common lisp?
(defun miller-rabin (n)
(defun expmod (b p m)
(cond ((= p 0) 1)
((= (mod p 2) 0)
(set 'v (mod ((lambda (x) (* x x)) (expmod b (/ p 2) m)) m))
(if (= 1 v)
0
v))
(T (mod (* b (expmod b (1- p) m)) m))))
(defun iter-test (a)
(cond ((= 0 (expmod a (1- n) n))
NIL)
((< a 2)
T)
(T (iter-test (1- a)))))
(if (evenp n)
(= 2 n)
(iter-test (1- n))))


I'm reading through SCIP and this exercise is hurting my brain cell:
...if n is a prime number and a is any positive integer less than n, then a raised to the (n - 1)st power is congruent to 1 modulo n. To test the primality of a number n by the Miller-Rabin test, we pick a random number a < n and raise a to the (n - 1)st power modulo n using the expmod procedure. However, whenever we perform the squaring step in expmod, we check to see if we have discovered a ‘‘nontrivial square root of 1 modulo n,’’ that is, a number not equal to 1 or n - 1 whose square is equal to 1 modulo n. It is possible to prove that if such a nontrivial square root of 1 exists, then n is not prime. It is also possible to prove that if n is an odd number that is not prime, then, for at least half the numbers a < n, computing a^n-1 in this way will reveal a nontrivial square root of 1 modulo n. Modify the expmod procedure to signal if it discovers a nontrivial square root of 1, and use this to implement the Miller-Rabin test with a procedure analogous to the fermat-test.
One convenient way to make
expmod signal is to have it return 0.

My code is saying 2, 3, 7, and 31 are the only primes < 100.
Help :(

Edit: updated the code, forgot to change what I was posting, should be

...
(set 'v (expmod b (/ p 2)))
(if (and
(= 1 (mod ((lambda (x) (* x x)) v) n))
(not (= 1 v))
(not (= (1- n) v))
)
0
((lambda (x) (* x x)) v)))
...

Well, it's not terrible.

It just checks for Mersenne primes

Go with the cloud storage method. Upload the files on the phone, then download them on your PC.

Yes. Find the name of this specific element, then put it on the whitelist.

just get spotify

I'm looking for a browser extension that allows me to simply store and keep only the reliable cookies I want forever, where they don't get deleted when I clean the historic of my browser.

Can you people recommend me some addons that does that?

I need a new phone an I'm considering buying this Galaxy S6 Active from eBay since it seems like great value for the specs.

ebay.com.au/itm/32GB-Samsung-Galaxy-S6-Active-SM-G890A-AT-T-Unlocked-4G-Smartphone-9-10-AU/112617947810

It's unlocked, but apparently it's also an AT&T phone - and I'm not in America. So will I be able to use this if I buy it?

what does the comma after the array do? why not just put the object on its own line?


var funcs = [],
object = {
a: true,
b: true,
c: true
};

Very good plan. Try something like java or .net next. Don't worry about C unless you are planning to write custom game engines, drivers or similar low level stuffs

Never used Windows 10 LTSB.

Is it true you have to manually download the updates because Windows Update won't work?

Aside from having to plug it in outside my computer which isn't an issue for me, whats the difference between the WD Black 2TB External drive and internal version? The internal is more expensive, but do I really need it? Considering I always have my USB hub plugged in, do I really need an internal drive?

Got it working, but I'm still not quite sure what I was doing wrong earlier:
(defun miller-rabin (n &optional (times 10))
(defun test-sq (v)
(if (and
(not (= v 1))
(not (= v (1- n)))
(= 0 (mod ((lambda (x) (* x x)) v) n)))
0
((lambda (x) (* x x)) v)))
(defun expmod (b p)
(cond ((= p 0)
1)
((evenp p)
(mod (test-sq (expmod b (/ p 2))) n))
(T
(mod (* b (expmod b (1- p))) n))))
(defun test ()
(= 1 (expmod (1+ (random (1- n))) (1- n))))
(cond ((= 0 times)
T)
((test)
(miller-rabin n (1- times)))
(T
NIL)))

Very little of your heat exchange is done by radiation and, as a general rule of thumb, the property of a material that causes it to reflect light well (be shiny) also cause it to be a shit insulator.

aluminum foil is a good heat insulator, maybe aluminum socks are too?

Columbia makes thermal underwear that have small reflective dots on the interior. I own a pair and can confirm they work. They're pretty neat actually.

Ok disregard this question, after doing some research I discovered that the phone can't be rooted so I'm definitely not getting it in any case.
It's a shame because the specs and build quality look amazing for the price.

Mom's friend wants help getting Outlook on her Win 7/8 computer, but I'm not familiar with that program and, according to her friend, a "computer guy" said it's only available on Win 10 now. Why would he say that? And which version of Outlook should I try to get?

I've been having some weird dropouts with my internet around Dec 27th last year. It turns out after further research that alot of routers from (Netgear, TP-Link, Netcomm etc) have been having this particular problem in a short period of time. It isn't just a coincidence, people have said to disable the 5 Ghz band which has stabilized the connection until a firmware comes out to fix it. But because I had dropouts on my line the Telstra DSLAM has kicked in & lowered my download from 25 Mbps to 10 Mbps. I rang up my ISP to see if I can get the DSLAM profile removed. He asked for my modems mac address & serial number, why would he have wanted this? It's not an ISP supplied modem.

could a 100/40 (mbps) connection stream 4k over the internet?

tried one and it gave some runtime error thing

/lit/ here,

I'm thinking of posting my writings and doing some blogging on Minds.com but I see a bunch of licenses that I'm not familiar with. I have a basic idea of the GPL and BSD licenses but there's others I don't know anything about like Apache or Mozilla public license. I thought these were for software? Why does Minds offer them as options for blog posts?

those are software licenses, what you want is Creative Commons licenses

I think my service provider is actually counting data that should be unmetered (spotify streaming). I called up and they it's not but I'm still sus.

Is there an app like betterbatterystats but for network usage?

What happened to the batoto replacement general? did we fail that fast?

Where's the cheapest place I get get a windows 10 pro retail key that isnt a scam? Before you suggest anything else, I need pro and I need a retail key.

Not at all, just the opposite. You have to setup many local policies just to disable or control even LTSC WU services. Was quite surprised on first boot to see WU forcing the 2016 big update immediately and failing twice. It also ignores many telem and update time settings without GPOs inplace.

I want to buy a portable music player with at least 10 GB or so of storage. Basically a dedicated music player that I can plug my headphones into. Does such a device exist for cheap in 2018?

do you use minds.com? All those software licenses are available for blog posts. I see some called arbitration, some of them having "CC." Is that Creative Commons?

Some of my writings I would be fine with licensing under Creative Commons. I'm currently writing a series of myths and legends around lol cat memes. Even if I could, it would feel wrong to try and maintain strict copyright over something like that. However, I'm also writing a novel that is not based on memes or anything that public domainan and I'd rather maintain some form of legal control over it. I don't care about weird slash fiction about my characters, I just want a license that forbids commercial use without my approval. I know it's a long shot but I don't want something like the Slender Man movie to happen to my writing.

>iPhone
>Free
You bought the wrong phone retard.

Check around ebay for a Zune HD.
It won't play FLAC though, be aware.

pls respond

>I need pro
Why
>I need a retail key
Why?

Virtual machines
microsoft limits how many cpu cores you can have in a windows guest based on your license
i need a retail key because booting bare metal vs booting in the virtual machine counts as a motherboard change, so the oem key would only work on one.

Not sure where to ask, Im looking for a microphone recommendation for gaming purposes. I use speakers, and have a DAC. I do not care for headphones, just a mic. I would prefer it to be minimal, and wireless if possible.

Can I maybe use like some bluetooth headphone headset? I got some at work I can test

How do I send money via paypal to a friend who is using a different currency to me, if I have $20 in my account, want to send him $40, and want to use the money in my account before it bills my credit card?

I recently upgraded my setup, and I now have 2 laptops connected through a single speaker system.

One of them, when plugged in either way (speakers have a 3.5mm jack and L/R audio inputs), makes this high pitched sound when it's plugged in. It's not a constant sound, but every 2-3 seconds it fades in, and then fades out after another 2-3 seconds.

I've tried muting individual sound sources, muting the whole audio output, cable management, and switching which input method I use for it as well as updating my realtek audio drivers.

Anyone know what's going on with this? I can post specs if it makes a difference.

I use a Blue Yeti microphone for gaming, it's pretty perfect. If you don't like the size, the Blue Snowball is great as well. Not wireless, but they're easy enough to set it far back on the desk and it'll still pick up almost everything.

Is there a way to use Sup Forums X filters without having to learn... whatever the fuck it uses?
Like a website that you give words and some options and it spits out a Sup Forums x filter or something

Do I really need to install the BIOS update for Spectre?

look for regex builder, keep in mind that 4chanx uses javascript sintax.

Yes.

they're just regular expressions (javascript flavour)
they look intimidating, but aren't hard to learn
give me some examples and i'll try turning them into regex's and explain what i did

it just defines to variables "funcs" and "object"

ok, block the word "bitcoin" case-insensetive for Sup Forums only and only if it's in the OP comment
i'm assuming that's possible after looking over the guide a few times

And what if I don't get any?
My PC will get it eventually (6600k)
But my brother has a 4970 which might not see an update. Then what?

I need your advice, /sgt/.

Say I have an array of 60 geo-coordinates (lat, lng). They are in a random order. I want to group all of the points that have the same coordinate. Is there a way for me to do it in O(n)?
I was thinking of creating a lookup table and then placing their reference inside each entry.

and while i'm not sure about automated regex makers, there are a number of regex testing sites you can use

I've been seeing this image on captcha a few times already, is there anything I can do to fix it or is it Hiroshima Nagasaki's fault?

block a single word as-is isn't even really regex, just a word match
a regex that blocks just "bitcoin" is simply "bitcoin"
the other things you mention are just 4chanX-specific things added alongside the regex
/bitcoin/i;boards:g;op:only

Is the AMD FX-8350 still a good, relevant processor?

With the scope of the vulnerability older platforms may get updates, but in the worse case scenario the OS will have to patch or disable some stuff if it doesn't find the microcode update, at the cost of performance.

Is googles fault this time, they are killing the old recapcha on march.

Considering intel performance drop i say yes, but keep in mind the price/performance, because at retail price it might get crushed by ryzen 3/5.

>Is googles fault this time
I bet it was moot's idea.

How do I build a imageboard? All scripts that I've found are trash.

Can I share my /boot and /home partition between my Xubuntu and Gentoo installs?

yes, just make sure;
- the kernel and initramfs files have different names on each system, so they don't conflict
- only one system should be in charge of grub/bootloader files
- ensure users have the same UID and GID between systems
- keep in mind that if you have different versions of the same software installed between them, the older one might not like updated configuration files, so try to keep them at the same versions

Ok got it. Although just to make sure I'll only share the /home partition between the distros and I'll have different users on each of them. Would I still have to worry about UID and GID's?

no, unless you're concerned about security between them
for example, the first user typically gets uid 1000, and gid 100
so both both systems, the first user made on them will have the same uid and gid, so their home folders will be owned by the same user (permissions are stored based on the uid/gid)
this simply means for example, "user1@gentoo" can access the home files for "user1@xubuntu" and vice-versa, since they have the same uid/gid's, and so the system perceives both folders to be owned by that user
if this isn't a problem (might even benefit you), then leave it, if that /is/ a problem for you, just ensure users don't have the same uid/gid between both systems (say if gentoo's using 1000, then don't use 1000 on xubuntu, etc)

-- note that if the user names differ, they won't conflict either way
this is just if you to allow or disallow access to the otherwise-inactive home folders of other users who happen to share your users' id's

>if the user names differ
to be more specific, the home directories for users
while the home directory name is typically the username, it doesn't have to be

Best laptop that supports LibreBoot/Coreboot?

I don't want Intel ME.

Hmm that would actually benefit me. I guess I'll name them the same but set different directories. So I'll pretty much have them sharing the things I want to share between 'em (Downloads folder , documents, etc) and not share the things that shouldn't ( config files and other things.). Thanks user.

np, i take it you're familiar with symlinks?

>I don't want Intel ME

How do you get install-module onto powershell on windows 8.1? Nothing I try works at all, its not a recognized cmdlet.

Every time I try to install a Windows OS (tried 7 and 10) I get a bluescreen during installation. Every time I try to install a Linux OS the installer quits because it thinks the CPU is overheating (it reports at 255c, which is a glaringly obvious false reading).

What should I do with this thing?
