/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

It seems my google skills failed me so I can only hope in some help from you. I use a wireless RF headphone at home, and it has the 4 minute no signal cutoff to save power. My problem it that it makes impossible to listen to ASMR. Is there a way to hack the device to get rid of the function? Or how would you fix this? Thanks in advance.

asmr doesnt count as signal? i would have a frequency at like 21k play every few minutes. you wont hear it

>wireless RF headphone
Is that it's brand and model name?

The cutoff works in a way that it turns the device off when the volume is too low instead of no signal at all. So if there's a 4 minute scene in a movie where they don't talk, it turns off. Also during asmr that is for sleeping or meditation.

Sony RF 865, I always forget the white designation. The function is there for all brands and types though.

Manual says to raise the volume of the source and lower the volume on the headphone, accordingly.

I'll try that, however I doubt it will fully work. The source is already at full, not sure how the device volume affects it. Anyway, would there be a different solution if this doesn't work? I mean why the heck is there even a function like this that can't be turned off?

>why the heck is there even a function like this that can't be turned off?
That's just the price you pay for using an analog device. Maybe next time find a pair of headphones with an audio player built in, or a bluetooth headset.

Well, thanks. Lesson learnt. I had troubles with BT ones so I try to avoid them but those might be fixed by now.

it worked, I booted a windows install on a USB and refreshed on the where to install. It then saw a 0 mb drive which when I clicked on it and refreshed again, it loaded up as normal.

Took me 4 hours to figure this out, I still have no clue what went wrong and how I fixed it.

>I still have no clue what went wrong and how I fixed it.
You didn't fix it, you just got the first sign your SSD might be failing. If you got anything important you'd better start backing that up.

I'm transferring everything now.

I spent hours today putting together my first build and when I attempted first boot everything was lighting up and seemingly working aside from my cpu (2700x) and fans. My motherboard is a crosshair hero vii wifi and it displayed only a red led and no error code. If anyone has knowledge that can restore my sanity after dealing with this shit I would be grateful.

How do I get into a new hobby?
I can't afford gyms, sporting, etc. but I'm bored of games now.
I'm too incompetent for programming, and can't even think of any reason why I'd want to get into programming, either.
I don't do anything important or exciting, so I can't start up a blog or anything.
What do I even do with my life now?

just found out synergy is behind a paywall/botnet now? wtf?
good alternative?

What's a good inkjet printer. I don't want to cheap out but I don't mind spending up to 150

Good consumer inkjets don't exist.

Brother or Epson are good brands. All the cheap ones will Jew you on the ink. Also, update the firmware. All of them are security risks.

Only have a LAN connection to my laptop (no wifi) and don't want to buy a router. Anybody recommend any good programs that will allow me to make a wifi/hotspot from my laptop so I can use my other devices? Have tried a few but nothing working properly.
Thanks in advance.

>don't want to buy a router.
because...?

>my laptop (no wifi)
>make a wifi/hotspot from my laptop
bro, you can't download more RAM
how do you expect to make a wifi hotspot with a wifi adapter?

>with a wifi adapter?
*without

he clearly means that he doesnt have anything for his adapter to connect to so hes using the ethernet instead

What are the benefits of setting up my own VPN compared to buying one from a more "reputable" company? (e.g. Mullvad)

check your cpu pins, check everything is plugged in... do you have both the 8 pin + the 4 pin on the cpu plugged in?| 24 pin pllugged in properly? gpu cables connected properly?

none. if you are in position to set up a proper vpn, which i think your confusing with a local vpn then definitely its safer to some degree. additionally if its ever revealed your own set up vpn has one user then obviously you can just say oh all traffic routed to ip 123123123 is actually being redirected to ip 123123124

Anyways, as a side note.
How come I never really see any upload while torrents are active? If I download something big like a distro torrent it works, but I never seem to connect to available peers on the smaller torrents, such as obscure shows or erotica.
I feel bad about leeching like this, and I think it has to do with my vpn.
Is there any way for me to start uploading more?

can someone explain namespaces in c++ for me, I'm too retarded holy shit, read some stuff and testing but it won't compile I made a new namespace with a function and then included the .cpp file in the main cpp file and did xyz::funname(); but it wont compile

So I plugged a new SSD into my parent's computer and it doesn't see it in the bios.

I plugged it in mine and it works fine, I reformatted and everything. I tried using different cables and sata ports on my parent's computer and nothing. Any ideas on this solution?

the ssta power is fucked?

I tried another HDD using the same cables and it works fine, no issues at all.

what OS do AMTs generally use? whenever I go to withdraw money from the ATM close to my place I hear it making windows xp sounds whenever it switches windows or click buttons. why do banks spend so little in security? or maybe this happens only in my shit hole place?

Any precautions I need to take when using IRC?
I know I better use a vhost so I don't show up my real IP so I make doxxing harder.
What are other the other things I need to care about?

Should I run it in a virtual machine or am I being too paranoid here?

>XP
Not sure now but your question reminded me of this
gmanetwork.com/news/scitech/technology/372346/watch-hackers-install-play-video-game-doom-on-atm-machine/story/

Indeed many ATMs seems to use XP, is it still that way I don't know.

I want her to step on my penis.

can't you just use a vpn for that? I think vhost requires you to make an account, I would rather not do that

Took you over 2 hours to figure out that there was a new thread, huh.
I guess it's expected that people who post that purple haired slut would be a bit slower than others.

But it effectively costs zero shekels

well it's not like you are going to use a vpn just to mask your irc. you can use that for like everything else, p2p, geobypass and so on

I'm too chicken for that. The most illegal stuff I'm doing is streaming copyrighted content before it gets removed from the platform.

You chums aware of any programs for Windows that will help me sort through a folder?
For example

Trying to organize some image folders and my "unsorted" folders are a right mess.

Also need something to do a checksum on backup folders to see if anything is different.

How do I create a partition prior to installing OS?

Neat

Fixed it somehow, I kept power cycling and leading the PC on idle. Then it started to read the SSD after an hour.

Very strange.

I have a Nokia 6.1,
when I install firefox from fdroid or play store, it downloads a build where it shows a tab bar at the top. The option to rremove this isn't present in the general settings, is there a way to remove easily?

I will be forced to delve into building my own firefox without a tabbar, which will probably produce a whole new array of questions on how to proceed.

Can a CPU/GPU be partially damaged by overclocking or poor handling?

Ie. The PC appears to boot up and work fine but there's performance loss or crashes upon trying to execute certain functions?

I know RAM can be partially damaged and have segments that are broken and causes the system/programs to crash when they attempt to read/write to these segments, that's why I will test used RAM with memtest

Is there's a similar precaution I need to take when buying a used CPU/GPU/Mobo?

'Course that wouldn't explain posting in the wrong thread from the start, that thread was clearly past bump limit, and this thread had been made hours prior to your post.
Nice try though, slowslut.

Damaged by overclocking: No.
Damaged by high temperature/current as a result of overclocking: Yes.
Damaged by poor handling: No unless you're being deliberate.
Used CPU/GPU/Mobo CAN be damaged and you might not be able to see it from a photo

So take literally any fucking image posted, anywhere even here, and if I copy to my clipboard the size of it is huge in comparison than if saved normally. But saving is too much of a hassle for my use case.

DS4Windows ?

Steam has official/native PS controller support by using the official Sony PS Now driver.

It might be limited to Big Picture though.

How reliable is clonezilla for Windows installation backups?

I've been thinking about backing the entire thing up so I can mess around with different OSes and restoring it. I essentially want to have it where I can restore it as if I just decided to turn off my computer for a couple of days.

Depends. By default on Windows, nothing. You can install Steam and Steam will provide drivers for it that you can use with Big Picture, which makes games recognize it natively as a DS4. DS4 windows is still the better tool. On Linux (apparently) some games support the gamepad natively and add features that the Windows versions won't have (such as lightbar support, which works with Rise of the Tomb Raider on Linux, but not Windows). Anything else is a meme. Also, DS4Windows has a couple of extra features and you can get builds that add motion sensor compatibility with emulators such as CEMU.

I just installed a new GPU and now one of my USB ports on top of my pc doesn't work

Did I knock something? I can see the wires from those ports go behind my motherboard

github.com/nefarius/ScpToolkit/releases
I use this for PS3 and PS4, works perfectly

It's fine. Clonezilla uses partclone (by default), which in turn uses ntfs3g for ntfs volumes. Ntfs3g's imaging capability is quite good, it can take complete images while skipping slack (unused) space, making backups smaller and faster (at the cost of the image being unsuitable for forensic purposes)
