2nd line, very disrespectful.
Also purposely drops the https for http in the DuckDuckGo link for some reason.

Probably not much difference between 400MHz, but there is definitely some performance gain to be had

does Ubuntu 16.04 have good privacy ?

>2nd line
is not referring to gnu/linux
>very disrespectful.
your opinion or just like you shitting every thread?

>purposely drops the https for http in the DuckDuckGo link for some reason
and the reason is: when you click it, it will redirect to https
the http is to allow you to highlight the URL and right click open it

stop your spam

no

Can I activate a clean windows 10 home install with the key that comes with a preinstalled Win10S notebook?

It's fine, the only drama was including online search results when looking for local programs.
It was switched off by default after some backlash, still, you can double check under Ubuntu System Settings > Privacy

Different user, but I don't blame him one bit when you refer to Linux without the GNU/ prefix.
>the http is to allow you to highlight the URL and right click open it
Works just fine with https too.
No reason to have http at all these days, even with the redirect.

>firefox+violentmonkey?

Firefox + Tampermonkey

at some point linus should start to interject, you both seem incapable to comprehend there can and is linux without gnu as well because of your trained knee jerk reaction
and i do blame him because he has taken great pleasure to shit recent threads and troll on purpose

>http
you must have enabled clickable links, it's not default iirc

There's also GNU without Linux. What's your point? People use GNU/Linux and they have a thread about it right here . Why would you make things more difficult on purpose?

Why is it impossible to avoid Indians nowadays?
Looking up some info on software or hardware is fucking impossible because of the tens of thousands of layers of cury fueled diarrhea the pajeets shat on the internet in the past few years.

The free version of MBAM doesn't provide real-time protection after the automatic "Premium trial" expires. It should only be used for occasional scanning and uninstalled afterwards. Stick with Windows Defender and bump UAC to the highest level, there's no need to install anything else apart from common sense into your brain. :^)

No. Blame all of those companies that insist on outsourcing their shit to India and thereby encourage them to flood the internet.

I wouldn't give a shit if they stayed on their corner of internet like the French the Russians the Chinese and whatnot but nowadays looking anything up is basically like diving in a pool of curry flavored shit and arcane english/Indian dialects and accents that hurt my soul.

>He's on his own router, I'm on mine, we have a port switch between the two
Hold up. Why? Please give more details about your setup.

Burgers are even harder to avoid. Heck, I bet you're one.

>the Chinese
That's changing rapidly. People are going to be really caught off guard.

Dvi-d

Tried a do cable as well.

It's so dumb for me to realize this now but I have an HDMI cable running into a Sony 48 inch LCD TV from the video card. Would I need to unplug that as it wouldn't handle the widescreen?

You forget dear sir

Are you using duplicate rather than extend? You should experiment with connecting a single display to the card first.

What's a cheap but adequate access point/router? I only need 802.11n support and fair range. Everything after that is a bonus.

my point is exactly what i posted already multiple times -- the op does NOT refer to just gnu/linux however people who want gnu/linux will still see it in the results when/if they follow that link, and there was a direct link to the fglt
>Why would you make things more difficult on purpose?
because fuck you that's why, you won't just come and shit in my thread every single time
and what things are more difficult? the gnu/linux thread is still there. this is the /sqt/ not the /fglt/

the battery of my phone has been fluctuating a ton, is this caused by overheating? it looses its charge either fast or instantly sometimes. camera can get warm (which sits next to battery) due to camera apps.

That port goes to another modem/router that we don't have access to, which will connect other tenants. Some shitty ghetto setup the owner of the building made. Works surprisingly well though. My housemate and I have separate routers connected to our port because we have a lot of wired connections to game consoles and shit.

Yeah, that makes more sense.
Does your router do NAT?

NAT and hardware NAT apparently. Not too sure what that means.

Actually stupid questions incoming.

Have been using Lubuntu for the last couple of years, but wanted to try Debian. As I understand there are different up to date versions of Debian. Which one is the most convenient for a personal development laptop?

Also, I've been told to do a netinstall. Is it possible to choose the version of Debian in a netinstall or is it a netinstall another Debian version on its own?

I got IP banned from twitch for creating multiple accounts with racist user names. This wouldn't be a big deal (I've already found a way to still watch twitch through a third party app i downloaded)

However my room mates have prime subscriptions and will notice that our whole household is IP banned. I don't want to explain to them what happened.

I found a way to get a new IP address - MAC address cloning, or in router settings you do "Use Computer MAC Address" instead of auto.

I tried it and it worked - I got a new IP.. unbanned from twitch.

Is Use Computer MAC Address bad? Does it expose my computer to the internet?

Should I change it by one digit instead?

Talk to me

man up instead, nothing wrong with beeing a racist.

Go check what gateway your housemate's devices use. If it's not his router, it could be that main building router that you don't have access to, which probably means his own router is set in repeater/access point mode, which means it doesn't do NAT for his devices. Even if that's not the case, the problem needs to be fixed on his router, so that it doesn't expose his stuff.
Check your own devices' gateway as well - it should be your router.

This. Tell them you were fighting the good fight against niggers and pajeets.

So I took the MAC address it generate / gave me when I selected 'Use Computer MAC Address' and changed it by 1 digit. Still have internet. Still have a different IP and unbanned from twitch. Am I good? I'm basically using a custom MAC address in my router settings.

I don't have a cable modem... it's built into my apartment. I'm just using a different router than what my ISP gave me (shitty night hawk)

Am i missing anything?

I get that... I mean it was pretty innocent, I was just being edgy. But whatever. I'm in the clear

>I'm in the clear
There's a change you're going to get fucked by your ISP for MAC spoofing.

You're right. I hadn't thought about that. It's not against the law. Looks like I have some more research to do to fully understand this concept myself, and also from their point of view.

It sounds like your ISP authenticates subscribers by MAC address (if it was a PPPOE connection what you did wouldn't work). Clone your computer's MAC address but don't change the digits. This way, you don't risk using the MAC address of another device that's not yours and you don't risk getting suspended for MAC spoofing.

Just installed discord on kubuntu, Whenever i want to share a game i'm playing on discord it just shows the whole of both my screens (i have 2 monitors)
How do i get it to only show the game, or at least just one monitor?

Actually it is PPPoE. I have a PPPoE login and everything.

So you're saying there's no danger in cloning my computer's MAC address? I read elsewhere that it somehow negates whatever protection my router offers me as a firewall or whatever.

I hear what you're saying in the latter part though, makes sense.

how do i get manual proxies to wrok? (finding an ip address and port number, then putting it into firefox's network proxy settings)

or am i just finding bunk ones. they never connect

BUMPITY BUMP BUMP!!!! AAA!!!

You might have a dynamic IP, user. Go to whatip.me/ and note your current IP, then reboot the router/modem and check again. If the IP changed, then you don't need to do any MAC cloning.

How the actual fuck do you work out which application is responsible for handle leaks in WMI service?

One more try.

While its addons still used XUL, each new version of Firefox might make addons require updates. So in essence, each new version of Firefox had a slightly modified "library" for coding addons than the previous version, yes? If so, is there a comprehensive guide of differences in the "libraries" between two versions, or do I have to comb FF's damn release notes one by one?

This is going to be the stupidest question I have ever asked
I'm trying to get a clean ISO of the RTM build for Windows 10 1803 (17133.1)
The only place I have been able to get an ISO for what claims to be this is off the twitter of a Russian guy from a cloud.mail.ru link.
I have it downloaded but don't really have a way of testing the legitimacy of it, as no SHA-1 hashes of the ""official"" release are out yet.
The only thing is this guy probably just got it from being an insider, and the hashes on his 1709 release match mine.
Should I go ahead and flash my friend's PC with this ISO? I can't wait until monday/tuesday and he doesn't want to have to update to a big release by himself (which is where installing the 1803 release now comes in)
This is the release twitter.com/WZorNET/status/982303119760678912

Wipe drivers with DDU, then run Unigine Heaven or play games, see if it crashes again.

My Dad's external HDD with all his music on isn't being recognised in My Computer (on either of our systems, however it does show up in Device Manager and Disk Management (on both of our systems).

Hi, I need some help.
The a key of my girlfriends laptop is broken and I'd like to swap it with a lesser used key, like x or q for now.
She uses xubuntu 17.10 and apparently the often suggested method with xmodmap is obsolete, but I don't understand how the xkb tools work. I would really appreciate if you could tell me an easy way to remap those keys.

How hard is it to transfer music files from an ubuntu system to an iPhone without installing itunes?

It's legit. It doesn't host itself, it bypasses the sign in on microsoft's website. It's not hard to testify to the authenticity.

why doesnt it boot then

Because you're an idiot. Unpack the iso on to a standard USB stick, uefi will load up the installer for you.

can we get a SMART status of said disk?

>using shitty usb headphones
what were you expecting? don't let the chinaman near anything actively powered and connected to sensitive electronics.

also, quite possibly. you might have just YELLOWED.com'd your USB controller.

They aren't USB headphones, regular 35mm ones. Maybe I could see if I can source a replacement controller and replace it, maybe that will work? What other tests should I do to narrow it down?

Is Fedora good ?

wait, what the fuck? your 3.5mm jack killed your USB? that's... oddly perplexing. even if you directly short a 3.5mm jack, it shouldn't do anything like that. you probably couldn't even get that from running DC into your headphone jack. what the fuck.

no, though, you're probably not going to have a fun time replacing your USB controller, let alone sourcing a new one, if that's even what is wrong. it does sound like it's fried though :(

yes, it's pretty okay. I've been using it for a month or two and it's like the middle ground between the normie shit like ubuntu and the autistic shit like void (and nowhere near the savant autistic shit like gentoo)

what about Debian ?

I tried drivers from 16-.18. (current) and its weird but Heaven, Superposition, Furmark dont crash its only in FFXV - from playing 30s to 30min,
, Nioh - same as FFXV
and NFS Payback. - 15min of playtime average
and now 3dmark one I tried crashed drivers. in like half of first test.

slightly more autistic than fedora. still just as "okay" as it was 5 years ago.

Yeah, you're gonna have to look at the dev release notes for the versions you want and scroll to the "Changes for add-on and Mozilla developers" section near the end of the page.

Return the card. Drivers don't usually crash if there's a PSU problem.

Try using your ISP router again, you might have convinced them to lease you a new IP address.

I have an old hard drive that has pictures from like the early 2000s and want to recover them but the problem is whenever I plug in the drive it keeps cutting off every few seconds and can't really access the files in that time. Is there anything I can do to fix it or do I have to go to a hardware specialist to fix it?

using the hashes from torrentz2 is safe i guess
