/sqt/ Stupid questions thread

Just setup my PC today after building it, but something weird happens when I turn on the lights in my room, the computer crashes and has to restart. Anyone know what could be causing this? It's super weird.

Is there such thing as a SATA3 cable? or can i use my 2008 coputer SATA cable for a SSD?

For some reason, some folders in my home folder that I don't want hidden are hidden. These two folders are a separate partition on the same hard drive and an external drive, both of which I mounted into the home folder for convenience. Is there any way for me to "unhide" these folders?

Does GitLab respect my freedoms and gender fluidity?

Hey Jow Forums

I recently graduated from high school, and somehow managed to make my school google account the default account on my home pc.

The issue is that the account doesn't exist anymore, after graduation the school gets rid of them in some way or another.

I go to login to google, but it doesn't prompt me on which account I want to login to, which I assume is because one is set as a defualt (the nonexisting one). It instead redirects me to my School district's login popup thing, but my student credentials no longer work for the same reason that the account is gone.

I have access to one of the other google accounts, but its not showing me as signed in when I open a new tab, and the cycle repeats.

Tl;dr is there any way to delete the school account from my pc's google login without having access to it, or alternatively is there any way to make the account I have access to the default.

Thanks in advance.

can I get a job with this

Get a prebuild, 3D stuff on a laptop is beyound retarded

Nobody uses """Unix""" anymore. It's all about Linux specifically.

Downloaded a trainer the other day which came back clean after i double-checked it with mse and houseclean, however just now after bootup MSE acted up all of a sudden and put it into quarantine designating it as "trojan win32 bitrep a"

The trainer was written by some guy named mrantifun, pretty likely it's a false positive no? I also scanned with malwarebytes just now and it only detected that other trainer in the recycle bin as potentially unwanted

Oh yeah and tdss came back clean too

Getting a new laptop soon coz my retard classmate spilled redbull on my old one, should i get windows 7 or 10 and why? Is all the stuff ive heard about 8 and onwards farming muh data true and should i even give a shit about that in the first place?

God awful value. Just buy a $100 one so you can do more things with it down the line

It was bought by micro$hit, so not anymore.

I don't really plan on playing newer games that are demanding on my PC, I have a PS4 for that. Just wanna play old shit or newer stuff that isn't GPU demanding exclusive to PC.

Iphones are for iphags, stop being a fruitshill and get a real phone.

/tpg/ for full memery - second hand business laptops that use older components but are built like tanks and are super easy to upgrade.
Or just pick whatever new i3 you get if you want to buy new - they're all roughly the same.

why can't i fucking connect a monitor to a laptop with debian on it and have it work? really, is linux just some kind of a bad joke?

when you say broken, do you mean the screen is dead and nothing is displayed, or just that it doesn't recognize touch?

if it's the latter then you could just use a cheap USB OTG cable to plug in a USB mouse and have that simulate touch input for you.

Its completely dead. All black.

It just werks for me. I don't know what you're doing wrong.

I just bought a refurbished M4700 for $480. I've tested it in person and it werks, but I'm kind of suspicious about the battery shitting itself. I only take ownership in a day or two, so I'll be able to see then.

Did I goof? Is it a ripoff? Is it actually a shitbox in disguise?

Buy a normal desktop hard drive and an enclosure to make it an external drive.
You won't get fucked over by cheap drives and them removing SATA interfaces that way.

>an enclosure to make it an external drive
didn't know those things exists

>You won't get fucked over by cheap drives and them removing SATA interfaces that way.

question towards the gentoo users out there: Is it possible to run gentoo with binary programs only? I mean for settup up gentoo for the first time it would probably better i think. Later, when I have my setup complete I would start to compile all the things on my own. Is this possible?

stackoverflow.com/questions/14543245/browser-back-button-handling

First and second answer are the two common ways of fucking with your browsers back button.

you can't. you can get in there from the web without installing anything

VLC player doesn't need external codecs AFAIK.
CCCP installs MPC-HC and a set of codecs.

>don't know what you're doing wrong
i'm using linux, rookie mistake

it's for browser use. Still no bueno on MPEG-4 with the CCCP codec

Have you tried cleaning cookies and other browser data?

>install gentoo
If you need to decide between win 7 and win 10, stick with win 7. If you can, install a linux distro.

I don't know about S5 but I was able to recover my data from a chinkphone when my screen broke. I flashed a custom recovery and was able to start an filemanager in recovery mode, using the layout of the recovery app and file manager while navigating with volume keys.
Then I deleted some files responsible for the lockscreen pin, rebooted and recovered my files normaly. Try out and see if you can do the same.

What the fuck has happened to it? I haven't dropped it or damaged it in anyway at all.

>>windows 8.1
>please don't
its sadly for a software that will only run on windows 8.1, literally on nothing else

Shit, I meant to include that I found a system backup image, but would it be possible to open this on a separate drive (it's saved to the drive, not on a CD) without causing any issues with the drive (it doesn't have an OS installed on it already) or would I have to open/run/install it to the same drive it's saved to, in which case if I do that I'm going to lose all of my shit that I can't currently access, is that right?

Now I'm curious, what software is it?

So what's the deal with mixing different RAMs? is it actually okay or not?
I've read on some places that the only disadvantage would be that it'll use the lowest speed
But others said that it'll cause some real problems

I've searched for a while, he seems to think that all of them are pretty much shitty?

No he doesn't. Like all things in life, there are pros and cons for VPNs. If you just want to torrent some files, you do not need to worry about 14 eyes agreements. Just pick a cheap and fast one and go. If you need to watch cp or publish anti-chinese-gov propaganda, you are going to want something more secure.
He just said that there is no "perfect" VPN, yet.

Anyone have a link to the nebukazar/OneeChan script? Seems like it's been taken down from GitHub.

its possible but unlikely, the bigger risk is if there is an inherent issue that won't show up till after the warranty period is over, since you now have so little (if any) warranty left.

Odds are significantly better if it's not a laptop.

I also must question if there's really a difference between windows 7 and 10 in game performance

By gaming PC I meant to say "I'm getting a PC built" and the guys who helped me with it said "really, if you want to take the most out of your new computer you should put windows 10 on it", which I have no idea if its true or not

Not really. You don't get MS exclusives outside of 10, if you care. There's a few games that benefit mildly from DX12, and a few old ones with better compatibility with 7, but there's mostly no noticeable difference. Vulcan doesn't give a shit if it's 7/8/10.

Any MS10 exclusives of note?

Because worst case scenario I can always put windows 10 in the future
