I'm using an old LCD as secondary monitor, it looks bad compared to my main display.

Tried two cables and two adapters, could it simply be that the monitor is shit?

I thought about using a different GPU or connection (currently DVI trough an adapter).

Gigabit ethernet became standard more than 10 years ago, where you been man. I haven't seen a 10/100 switch since 2003.

I got this one when I was going to a LAN party with my classmates back in school, so it's pretty old.
Tried looking through Google images to see if something similar(with gigabit) exists, but anything slightly resembling it is industrial category and costs a lot.
Most of the ones available have a single row of ports, be it 5 or 8.

Why on instagram and twitter mobile apps you can use multiple profiles but not on their desktop versions? I guess I can understand for instagram though I wish they added DM support for the website version, but for twitter it seems awfully weird.

why wont webms play when i mouse over them anymore? my settings shouldnt of changed, and if i click them to open in a new tab it plays fine then. going back and trying to mouse over it after that plays it fine as well. ive tried letting my mouse sit there for a full minute before opening in a new tab and it still wont load. wtf?

where can I see the mirror/ what is the default mirror?

forgot to mention im using opera, works fine with chrome. opera is basically a clone of chrome at this point so i dont see why opera has issues

disabling and reenabling image hover fixes the issue until i reload the page, than it fucks up again. any ideas?

Single row is the cheapest and easiest - single PCB with standard rj45 connectors, simplest heat dissipation, no wasted (internal) space.
If you're worried about the footprint can you just mount a single-row switch sideways (vertically)?

Why /mklink is not the same as creating .lnk through UI?

mklink makes filesystem-level links like symlinks, .lnk files are application-level shortcuts

Yes, I know they do different things. I ask why is it done this way.

I want it to be a drop in replacement, meaning it would go on the same CD stand.
Not sure if a single-row one will fit.

I need a PSU but I'm not sure what I need to look for...
The thing is some units in the curcuit will draw a lot more amps during the 5 seconds they start up in than during any time after that...
But what do I need to look for in the data sheet to counter that ? just overvoltage protection ? ...

I know curcuits that run 2x godknowswhat things that pull like 12A +12V on start up, which works just fine even though the power supply only delivers like 3A @ +12V

Thank you...

Haven't done much backend before. Let's say I want to create a server using C++ but want to incorporate a Python script to webscrape. Would I have to set up 2 servers, one main server (C++) that when sent a request from the client, will then send a request to a the webscrape server (Python)? I'm picturing client sends request to C++ server -> C++ server figures out that it needs to update something by webscraping -> sends request to Python server -> Python server begins the webscrape script -> send back info to C++ server -> C++ server handles the information -> sends a response to the client. Does it make sense to do it this way?

I feel like that since couple of versions, chrome doesn't load all tabs which are not focused. If I open a new tab, open linkedin, and then quickly go back to what i was doing, it won't completely load til i focus it again. The same happens at work too. I fiddled with some settings, can't get it to work. Win 10

I have a laptop with thunderbolt 3, that I need to add at least 4 usb 3.0 slots to.
Someone told me to get a thunderbolt cradle and put a usb expansion card into that, but I would really like a solution that isn't going to be $200+

I am a brainlet and a bit confused by what thunderbolt 3 even is, is it just usb c? Can I just just get a powered usb c hub?
I am worried about using up all the usb bandwidth if I don't get some kind of proper controller.

Any suggests on products or what to do?

1) why are you making a webserver in c++
2) why are you calling a python script from it
without knowing your goals and constraints this question sounds absurd, which is (i think) why nobody has responded to you yet

No, the scaling happens by the monitor when you feed it a non-native resolution. It won't look crisp though, since you're unscaling AND because it's a non-integer scale, AND because even if it was, monitor manufacturers are too retarded to implement nearest-neighbor scaling for integer scales.

take pictures, and yes you should try the monitors on different computers/graphics cards/adapters to reduce problem via elimination

got a beginner question

when I try to define absolute value I tried

(define (abs x)
(if (< x 0)
(- x)
x))

but im unable to return a negative value.
after defining abs I try both

(abs (- 100 5))
(abs (- 5 100))

but both return the same positive value, so am I doing something wrong, or does the (- x y) always subtract from the highest value regardless

We're all in agreement in ditching Zuck. Just want a private chat program that will save the chat. I've used IRC before, but don't leave the program running so I miss out on previous conversations.

It's a bit of a clusterfuck and confuses the fuck out of consumers.

quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-a-Thunderbolt-3-vs-USB-C-cable
>USB-C is a connector, not a protocol in its own right. USB-C connectors can support a variety of protocols, including Thunderbolt 3, DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 1.4a, MHL (various versions), USB 3.0 (5 Gbps, aka USB 3.1 Gen 1!) and USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps).

Read link for elaboration on support and limitations. In short, thunderbolt3 is a standard that uses usb-c and dictates compatibility with several other standards including usb-3, but doesn't specify certain aspects, such as power and compatible cabling.

You should be okay with a powered usb-c hub as you won't have to worry about thunderbolt's power supply, just make sure the hub is decent quality. If you're only aiming for usb 3.0 you won't saturate the bandwidth of a full thunderbolt3 port as it should provide at least usb 3.1g2 bandwidth (10gbps).

What are the best server hardware makers?

coalgirls.wakku.to/faq/playback/setup-guide-for-mpc-hc-madvr

Doesn't matter, the inaccuracies in power supply spec (they under-rate their PSUs with large safety margins) component specs (can vary a lot listed vs actual power consumption) and the variability of component draw will dwarf small errors of a few watts.

nevermind

>the absolute value or modulus |x| of a real number x is the non-negative value of x without regard to its sign. Namely, |x| = x for a positive x, |x| = −x for a negative x (in which case −x is positive), and |0| = 0. For example, the absolute value of 3 is 3, and the absolute value of −3 is also 3. The absolute value of a number may be thought of as its distance from zero.

I guess its working right afterall

100-5= 95
5-100= -95
abs(95)= 95
abs(-95)= 95
What's wrong with your output?

I see you were confused about what abs() did, but im curious what you actually expected.

>Note: This guide is outdated and won’t be updated anymore.

I didn't realize abs always outputs a positive number
so when I tried (- 5 100) which should give -95 and it was giving me 95 I got confused and started thinking something was wrong but now I see what abs is and got it all cleared up, I'm just a mathlet learning as I go

What is hardware NAT in a router?

>deleted it from explorer
What does it mean, did you just delete the launch icon? Go in Control Panel, Uninstall a Program and look for the things you want to remove in there. Otherwise, browse to the folder where the game is installed and look for something like "uninstaller.exe" or just delete the entire WoW folder.

I wouldnt use a tv for a monitor. The pixel density lower on a tv then it is a monitor.

Ah sorry, I deleted the entire WoW folder from the C: drive. For some reason, Windows is still registering that it exists.

(copy paste from google senpai)
Very cheap switches are extremely fast and efficient even though they don't have powerful CPUs. That's because they do all of their important switching functions with dedicated hardware.

By contrast, typical home routers do all their routing functions in software. This means that they either have to have fast CPUs (high cost, lots of power used) or performance will suffer. Hardware NAT is a way to accelerate NAT routing functions with hardware so that the CPU doesn't have to process the bulk of the routed traffic.

is it worth paying 150 bucks for a dell u2412m monitor in current year?

If it's bad, will you give it back?

That's weird, stupid question but have you tried rebooting? If you already tried, you might want to check out WinDirStat and see if it shows what's taking up space where.

subnets, how do they work?
How subnet address is picked and why it can't be any random address?
Please explain, I feel like I have basic understanding, but don't feel confident about it...

Yeah, it's been an issue for a few months but I never really needed that much space on my C: drive anyway. Now that I wanna reinstall Visual Studio, I need it.

bought it on eBay
so it will be hard to give it back

Look up the difference between IPS and TN monitor panels. That's what I think that might be "wrong" with your monitor. Cheaper monitors usually use TN panels which look worse. I might also be wrong here, look up your monitors' specifications.

Couldn't it just be that you deleted the wrong folder and left the actual one somewhere? Try using WinDirStat and look what is taking up a lot of space, it tells you the path.

Well, it's "Create link" in UI, too?

Use a non stock cooler.

Why won't foobar let me update my mp3 tags for some files?
already disabled "read-only" and took ownership of the entire folder, didn't work.

W10, but that goes without saying, I guess.
Oh, and the music isn't zipped either.

Certain addresses are reserved for private use, such as 10.1.x.x and 192.168.x.x. If you mean the mask like 255.255.0.0, then that is because subnet masks are bit-masks that when &AND against an ipv4 address give you the 'routing prefix'.

enjoy it then

>are they worth it
They're more than worth it, thre's really no reason you should be without one.
>and secure
Yes. If you're nervous use a local one like KeePass that doesn't do anything in a browser or send any data over the network.

By all means try that stuff, and play with the monitor's own brightness, color, and contrast settings. But there's a good chance that yeah, it's just crap.

This varies based on which distro (or rather which package manager) you use. For Debian and anything Debian-based (Ubuntu, etc) it's in /etc/apt/sources.list. Debian has a big list of different sites that host repos, the idea being that if you live in some remote corner of the world you can choose one close by and get better speeds. A lot of other distros have similar mirrors.

If I were you I'd just figure out how much amperage I need for normal operation and then add some more to accommodate startup demands. This isn't exactly proper engineering, but it usually works, even if for instance the PSU maker doesn't give you a spec sheet saying that it can handle X amount of overload for Y seconds, etc.

"don't load any tab until focused" is default behavior on all browsers these days, I think. Blame bloat, in both the sites and browsers. Firefox lets you turn this off (tabs get loaded immediately when opened, even if you don't switch to them). I don't know about Chrome, but this sounds like exactly the kind of thing that Chrome would decide isn't needed and doesn't let you do, because of some telemetry study saying only a small number of people did it.

Anything's possible if you're determined. But if you don't have much free time you might want to look elsewhere.

define "best"

whatever you want

you have to come up with a project that needs those things. No way around doing stuff if you wanna learn.

I've been having quite the time with trying to get a replacement screen for my iPhone, 3 screens and all of them had issues of some kind.
>first ome, defective digitizer, got a refund
>second, dead pixel or obstruction under the screen, different seller, got a replacement
>third, replacement from above, horrible lines that look like goop seeping from the edges of the lcd, maybe from the cold press glue?
I am about to send a message to the seller, and reseated every piece and cleaned the connections before trying again only to yield the same result.
Before I send that message, I want to know if this was something I can fix or if this screen is also defective, pic related.
Thanks Jow Forums
(side note, this only happens when the screen is closed into the phone, not when it's just plugged in, which could explain how they missed it.)

My PC front port broke. How do I plug speakers and headphones at the same time but not play simultaneously?

I use to plug and unplug my headphones whenever I wanted to use it as it's within arm's reach. However, my front port is now broken.

What do I need to achieve what I want?

I have Fidelio X2 and a JBL LSR305 if that is important.

I'm also bad when it comes to coming up with ideas. My way around it was by buying a book and just looking at what other people have done. But if you're all out of ideas and know the basics of c++ then you can do this msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms737520(v=vs.85).aspx

lol get out I have the same wallpaper. But, are these all different vendors? if so, it must be the pins on the board possibly. Cleaning them could possibly help.

I know it's not my phone itself since the only problem with the previous screen was a dead pixel, and I have been using my cracked screen in the interim with no issue while waiting for this one to arrive (and I've already cleaned the pins multiple times with 99% isopropyl). Just bad luck I guess.

Yeah, I meant mask, not sure how it works...
Could you give me an example?
I get that part that subnetting is used to create smaller networks so everyone would have an IP

Mr Wizard,
My friend asked me what computer he should use to study
Windows server: I said:
Let it be a single processor Xeon, expandable to two.
Let it have at least 8GB of ram, if not 12,
Let it have VT-xD for virtualized IO.
Let is support at least 4 HDs for diffrent versions of Windows server, etc...

So there comes the question of which Windows server to study...
I said,
Windows 2008r2, Windows Server 2012r2, Windows Server 2016,
As well as a plexy server, and FreeNAS when he is done with study:
