Help I'm retarded. Trying to make it so it will loop until it gets the same measurement 9 times in a row or it solves the puzzle.
Right now it's just going indefinitely even though the count is way above 9.
It's probably something really simple but ive been up for a few days.

I have a cheap Cherry mouse, really like it but the scrollwheel has started to go bad. It's hyper sensitive depending on the exact position. Is there any way to fix it or should I just buy a new one? This is only like a year old.

so somebody made an order from wish.com using my paypal account a couple weeks ago somehow which I promptly changed the password and enabled two factor authentication for. I was actually able to login to whatever the fuck this wish.com site is by requesting a password change and logging in with it. Canceled the 1 dollar order that was made and closed the account. Made sure other important shit was secure and then waited.
Now I get an email saying my Epic games account is locked from multiple logins. Don't really care about the account since I have no games on it but it's obvious someone has my info.
There's no activity on my back account or anything or my paypal so I don't think I can report any actual fraud. What else can I do?

Oregon State University has an accelerated bachelors of CS for people who already have a degree from somewhere else. It's fully online I believe. Does anyone know if this kind of thing is just as respected as a normal CS bachelors, or if I get this am I gonna be viewed as just a half step above some unemployable self taught programmer?

I have inherited three old, pretty shitty Mac Minis from 2007, 2009 and 2011 respectively.
everymac.com

everymac.com
Are any of these worth turning into home servers or should I just wipe them and take them out to the electronics recycling? The 2011 looks okay, but I'm thinking of tossing the older two. If nothing else, I worry about power efficiency and how much an old piece of crap could end up costing me every month, especially when compared to more modern hardware.
Evan Rivera
>printf(i + " ");
This is your problem. String concatenation between a variable and a string literal is not that easy in C. It lacks the niceties of any modern language; keep in mind that strings are ultimately just arrays of chars in C. That said, if all you're doing is printing, this is what you want:
printf("%d ", i);

If I own a legally purchased VHS of a movie, am I legally allowed to pirate it? VHS player broke, just want to make sure I don't get v& or some stupid shit.

This isnt much as a stupid question as much as the answer puzzles me but ever since I did a full driver update using the lenovo utility to my thinkpad the fucking thing refuses to post until I shake it, otherwise it's a turned on empty screen waiting for me to do so. Also the knob+touchpad dont work anymore. Didn't drop it so I guess this is software, probably the fucking BIOS update although I did a full driver update in an attempt to fix yet another problem with the trackpad driver crashing randomly.
I have no idea what's going on here, cant say I've ever seen a laptop refuse to post until I shook it before.
Isaac Anderson
Just pirate it. I've been pirating for years without VPNs and without seeding and I've never even gotten a letter from my ISP.

Between a hard drive with 5200RPM and 256MB cache, and a drive with 7200RPM and 64MB cache, which will probably be faster and more responsive for general use such as gaming, running programs off, etc?
Already have a SSD so it's not 100% critical but just wondering which I should use as the "secondary" drive I put stuff I give slightly less of a shit about on and which should be the archival one

tl;dr: Can someone explains the reasons behind "Out Of Range" in terms of GPU -> Monitor?
My friend had a Cintiq and its apparently been giving him the shits for a while, its maximum resolution is 1920x800 but he's only been able to use it in 800x600. I originally thought it was his cable setup as he went GPU Output Displayport -> VGA -> DVI-I Cintiq Input but i tried it on my Thinkpad that had Displayport Output and it worked fine at the full resolution. He took it back home and it went back to only sticking to 800x600 with anything higher giving a Out Of Range message on the Cintiq display.
I thought it was a refresh rate issue, it might still be, but i cant actually find the refresh rate of the Cintiq. The manual for the product says "Check Page 60 for the Maximum Vertical Refresh Rate" but theres no actual refresh rate down there. It can apparently do 85hz at 800x600 but as for what it wants for 1920x800 i cant tell.

James Campbell
What the fuck is this? Found it stick under a table at work
Xavier Murphy
"out of range" is an error generated by a monitor to denote an input signal which is outside of the monitor's capability in some way
it could be too many lines, too high a refresh rate, too high a pixel clock, etc
if that monitor has a driver available for it, install that, otherwise check the manual for supported ranges and stick to that
Angel Green

Adrian Gonzalez

Anthony Gomez
Can anyone explain to me what does this. in constructor mean, and why/when should we use it?
Cameron Rodriguez
>check the manual for supported ranges and stick to that
The issue i have is that the manual only has resolutions and not refresh rates, even though it said there should be refresh rates available at the page im currently at.
Carson Murphy
that's not really useful, to ensure compatible modes, you also need to know the v/hsync limits and pixel clock limit
for example, my monitor is 1920x1080 native, with a pixel clock limit of 175MHz, hsync up to 30-85kHz, and vsync of 50-76Hz, this is pretty typical for a common lcd monitor
Samuel Sullivan
All i can tell from Windows/GeForce Settings is that at 800x600 it displays at 85hz without having "Out Of Range" appearing. What i learnt a few minutes ago is that when it comes up as "Signal Out Of Range" it still displays the image behind it without fault.
I have a feeling Wacom isnt going to give any real support as they're the ones who published the manual without the refresh rates even though it references it earlier in the manual, and this tablet is almost 10 years old.
Leo Martin
how's your 'locale'?
Christopher Lopez
In dire need of help.
I bought a portable monitor and a Sunix PCIe thing that enables USB-C outputs on a non-USB-C computer, and everything is connected as it should be like in pic related but it still gives no signal. I've already installed DisplayLink drivers so it shouldn't be a driver issue, although those drivers aren't detecting this monitor, also this monitor's being called "Billboard" under the Device Manager and Devices and Printers with no proper way to get it working.
Any ideas?

How important is it to clean a cast iron skillet after use?
I usually just give it a few quick rubs with a wadded up paper towel to remove most of the grease and then leave it alone, assuming that it'll kill off any pathogens next time I heat it up anyway, but is that bad?
Nathaniel Cox
If you mean "this" by itself then it is referring to the current object you are creating. So if you need to pass a reference to the object to something else for whatever reason from within its constructor you can do so (doesn't need to be the constructor either really, you can do this from any methods within the object)
If it's as a method call like this() then it's just calling the constructor again, useful sometimes if you have an overloaded constructor and want to call a different variant of it

Jackson Green
because not enough people use free OSes and developers will just go to where the market is
idk ask schools why they are anti-linux and insist on being ruled by proprietary software licenses. Teaching new users and programmers to use windows. Probably kickbacks and corruption
Connor Foster
so I have no idea where else to post this so I'll ask here;
TL;DR: doing professional sever IT work as a non-professional, how much should I charge for about 168 hours of work?
I live in canada and have a buddy in the states. I'm tech literate enough to have built computers for family and a few clients at a place I used to work at, and I fixed phones. Not soldering shit mind, just disassembling fucked up iphones that white girls drop all the damn time or run over with tractors or fire trucks and replacing the screens with chink knockoff shit. Nothing impressive. My buddy is not very good with hardware but he's a decent programmer and a very good engineer, he builds custom drones from scratch and programs the PID and all the good shit. They use the drones to take photos, then use software that justwerks to generate photogrammatry based 3d-models of whatever companies want them to do. Power substations and shit like that.
Issue is that their current solution is using some ancient xeon and some gtx 500 era quadro or some shit, and their renders take upwards of six days on the low end, per project. The boss got it from his old job working in Hollywood before he started the company. I've spent the last few days helping my buddy part out a few systems and now he wants me to fly down and help him put it all together and set it up and train the existing employees to be able to use it, preferably setting it up so they don't need to know how it works to use it. I'll probably be working for about a week, maybe two, twelve hours a day.
What should I charge for this work? I honestly have no idea what a professional would charge for this and I'm a hobbyist at best.

Do you think my cat would willingly enter my freezer when I'm not looking?
It's one of those pull-out drawer designs that sits on the bottom of the fridge and I can just imagine my cat sneaking in behind it while I'm browsing and then I shut it and kitty is trapped and freezes to death. But I'm not sure if this is something a cat would actually do, I mean it's cold in there and not that inviting, but do you think this is a legitimate fear?
Got to the point that I find myself checking multiple times a day just to be sure no cats are in there so it's stressful.
Bentley Moore
Seems like my tablet's idle battery usage went down after I picked it up and used it for an hour or two, compared to when I was just letting it sit on my nightstand and only picking it up to plug it in when it sent my phone battery low text, why it do this though? Like waiting on some process that would only happen when it's being actively used but somehow having that stuff queued up made it waste more or something? Coincidence? Recalibrate sensors some when being used more?

What is the maximum current I can safely get through an aluminum 11AWG cable? The length is 1 meter (3 feet).
Some people say 15 Amp will be OK, some say it's the limit and I should put a 10 amp fuse to avoid damaging the cable.

So you're paying an extra $60 so you can perma attach a $200 non-touch screen that's only 16 inches to a desktop? I'd just tell both companies their shit didn't work, send it all back and get a real, reliable monitor that's twice the size for a third less.
Nolan Martin
There's a specific reason to use a portable monitor instead of a full-fledged one. I've tried digging in and now suspecting something with the drivers. This monitor shows up as a "Billboard" device right at the bottom under "Universal Serial Bus devices", and trying to add the disk's drivers under "Have Disk" just yields a pic related error, and I've got no idea how to solve it.

Your main problem is that you've got some janky off brand device acting as a middleman in a way that hasn't really been done before. I wouldn't trust that card in general, but you're not even using it with a device it's known to work with. It's got 9 reviews, and probably no one has even mentioned it on a forum, so you've got nothing to go on. You can check whatever documentation you can find, but I think you've hit a dead end here. Try and figure out whether the "billboard" disappears when you disconnect the tablet, and that should tell you which tech support to bitch to.

I have to write a custom STL container in C++ for a project. The container is a sorted array. It has to memorize the data physically but also keep track of a sorting order.
Would it be correct to use a normal array and a list to keep track of the order in the container? I guess I'd also have to have iterators for both structures?
