My brother found an iphone 6 during a trip to europe (some eurocuck left it on a taxi and when he found it just keep it) and after he got back he wanted to use it. The problem is that the phone is pending to an activation, so it can't be used unless the original user enters the ID and pass.

I was thinking about deleting everything and installing android on it, but while I was searching about how to jailbreak it I realized the phone had the iOS 12, so doing it is out of the question.

Is there any other way to just install android despite this?

Can anyone explain the difference between the two speeds:
>buffer to host
>host-to/from-drive

Does it mean buffer to host is the speed of data retrieval assuming the data is cached in buffer and host-to/from-drive is write/read speed if data is not present in the buffer?

I'm three years deep into a four year software engineering degree, and in order to graduate with honours I need to finish the final year's worth of material within two years at maximum, including 800 hours of work experience. I had the idea that I could spend the next two years in part-time study and part-time work, but there doesn't seem to be any part time work in the industry around.

Is this normal? The part time work that does exist seems to be quite simple things like website adminning for small organizations and companies; would this count as worthwhile industry experience considering it isn't anything agile and doesn't seem particularly technically challenging?

Yes.

You forgot the IDE ports

Why not just code it in JavaScript?

>Is this normal?
Yes. Real jobs are full time, salary.
Finish your year of school in one year, then get a job. You only have to work half a year, so if it takes a while, or you need to relocate, it won't affect you much. Intern somewhere if you can, during the first year while you're finishing school.

Lss I ripped a bunch of vhs, dvd, and 8mm to drives for a retiree moving to the phillipines. Some was porn. Porn is illegal in the phillipines. I need to ship the last couple drives to him. The plan now is to ship one drive out of packaging, but to load the Porn on the other drive and repackage it in its original box and reseal it. Basically smuggling.

1. What are the chances they'll read the drives/open "new" drive (I'm assuming slim to none)
2. What kind of trouble could I get in for this (I'm in US)

sauce?

Bump

1. Slim to none.
2. Max? 6-10, possibly lifetime sexual offender.

You could encrypt it, for extra paranoia.

Prof condenser mics suck for gaming in my experience (picks up every fucking thing, and still makes you sound distant - lest you gotta sound studio set up). Better to have a headset mic.

Also, check with

yep, you got it

>Basically smuggling.
Reusing packaging isn't smuggling.
They don't give a shit, just put on there that it's a gift.
Keep a copy of it all on another drive too. PI is notorious for stealing shit, either at the airport or the seaport.

>2. Max? 6-10, possibly lifetime sexual offender.
LMAO! You think the US would extradite some dude to PI over porn?
No one cares about this shit.

I actually wanted to buy a headset, but they're too expensive

>LMAO! You think the US would extradite some dude to PI over porn?
No, they'd arrest you here, for violating US export laws and smuggling. That's how the trade treaty goes.

If you got arrested for it there, the max sentence would be considerably worse (possibly death, if you ticked off the wrong people - flipland is corrupt as fuck). Though, on the plus side, I don't think they even have a national sex offender database.

There's no way to install android on an iphone.

Thought about that, had to write detailed instructions to use Skype though, so encryption is probably a no-go. Guy just got his first flip phone 2 months ago, one of those people.
It's mostly stud like Crazy Asian Anal and Big Booty Hoes, not too worried about keeping a backup, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't gonna get fucked somehow, they executed hundreds of drug dealers last year and seem to be cracking down on stuff, didn't know.
Well shit. Can I just put a fake return address on it? Do they really need to know who I am?

Thanks guys

>Do they really need to know who I am?
Yes, in case if they ask for sauce

>Well shit. Can I just put a fake return address on it? Do they really need to know who I am?
And if the guy rats you out?

Might be easier just to dump all the porn into a huge encrypted rar/7z, and upload it for him.

I meant a copy, to resend, if they steal the first one.

You can put a fake return address, they don't care. Just pay with cash.

>And if the guy rats you out?
You guys are fucking autistic. Why would the guy that he's doing a favor for, turn himself in, and then rat on the guy helping him? Holy shit, the PI are more likely to steal his shit than anything. They aren't going to open it up, they literally don't give a shit.

I see.

Is there a way to bypass the activation lock that doesn't imply to pay some shaddy service or the DNS trick?

Neighbors don't like him, sick the cops on him, find pr0n, need a ring for their quota, start beating him, he rats you out to get them to stop (plus reduced sentence).

Happens all the time in the US, but in flipland, they have corporal punishment and can beat you all the livelong day.

Which is oddly more likely than them opening the package and scanning the hard drive.

I'm trying to transfer some files over MTP and sure enough, the internal memory is displayed. However it's showing most files as empty folders. The few files it shows as actual files are either video or music files.

Any ideas? Could encryption have something to do with it?

How do you choose a monitor? How do I know which technology used is better for me: IPS vs TN vs VA. Is response time and contrast ratio just marketing gimmick or are they meaningful?

I basically just check for screen resoltuion, available ports and refreshing rate. Everything else is big unknown.

If dubs i switch to linux tomrrow

Go to a store and check out some monitors, compare and contrast, no pun intended.

Personally, I can't stand TN's, and gotta go with IPS, but some folks are color blind and have no issues with a TN.

>Is response time and contrast ratio just marketing gimmick or are they meaningful?
Pretty much.
IPS is best.
The only monitors with bad response times are the older/cheaper ones, and TVs.

Good job, still a faggot.

Can someone tell me which JDK to use for college? Class does not specify but I read that JDK 11 removes "obfuscated" features (which may be required) should I start with 8?

I'm ashamed that I did not think of this. I'll check the local stores. Hopefully, the IPS/TN technologies do not vary between vendors.

Why? I bought Winblows Pro for $3 on eBay, just activated it. Might as well be free like Linux, and definitely a better environment for immediate production. I understand this is a Linux only place, I just never understood (other than the open source thing, but I mean, who seriously uses GIMP nowadays)

I heard recently that ever since two years ago some usb c cables can fry your pc.

Apparently its due to usb a to usb c cables having shit wiring such that when charging a phone it can draw to much power and fry the pc or usb port.

Is this issue rectified now a days or is it still present even now? Im guessing my wires fine since i recall using it for a few hours every once in awhile to let my pc use its mobile data. Interestingly enough it charged slow as fuck regardless of data usage such as when im just transferring over files.

Can this also work in reverse? My pc has a thunderbolt port and i was considering getting a usb c to c cable for the faster file transfers, but this makes me wonder if my pc in turn could fry the fuck out of my phone.

If specific phone model matters its a galaxy s9 i got like 4 or 5 months ago

I'm saving an audio file with Audacity and the available output format is either signed 16-bit pcm or 32-bit float pcm. What's the difference between the two?

Play games most of the time? Response time is not as much of a marketing gimmick. Go with something with higher refresh rate.

Do literally everything else, and play games on the side though? Look for IPS and decent angles. Cheap, crappy IPS monitors will still suffer from severe backlight bleeding and such so be careful.

dare to roll again

Do they even make 120/144Hz IPS displays?

So if it's games then TN (due to refresh rate), otherwise IPS for colour.

Unless you can play extra and enjoy both, yes.

Pay*

Money is no issue. But I don't think they make 144Hz IPS FHD monitors.

>Do they even make 120/144Hz IPS displays?
Yes.
I'm actually thinking about buying a laptop with a 144Hz IPS display. Just waiting out for the 2080 to be available in them.

Can someone give me some decent recommendations for a laptop?

I want something capable enough for video editing and creative use with the full adobe suite, it'll be for a filmmaking course at university and I intend to use it for this pretty heavily, decent storage and size would be a plus too but I'm mostly concerned with the ability to handle fairly intensive video editing for a few years.

I was considering the Xiaomi Notebook Pro but I'm unsure if it's a great choice.

My budget is around £700/$1000

There's even 144Hz IPS 2K monitors. Just check on amazon.

Refrwsh rates still an issue for ips regardless of price

Not sure about va other than trying but failing to be hybrid jack of both trades monitors

Acer makes a 4K 144HZ IPS monitor.

That's a list of IPS.

Here's a list of VA

I'd recommend the IPS, the colors are just so much better.

That's what I worried in the beginning. It's either refresh time or colour.

Refresh isn't a big deal at all if you're using one of the Sync technologies. You won't notice it changing.

what's the difference between boolean logic and diital logic? When I did a search to compare the two they'd often be separated or digital logic would be paired with boolean algebra

So... I really do think I am crazy, because now when I watch other peoples videos, their PC gameplay down with a mouse has the same jumpiness and square movements that my mouse does... Is that just how PC gaming is with a mouse? because when I use a controller, I never get this...

For the most part. Ips is really for movie or grapbic design fags and not for vidya. Ill bitch about ips for gaymen once its reached being able to reproduce graphics that mimic real life.

Right, so I'll be fine with TN then.

Go to a microcenter or something and see the difference in TN and IPS.
TN looks like shit.

Choosing a monitor turns out to be quite a nightmare.

Depends on the mouse and surface you use. Higher end mice usually have better hardware and software to combat those downfalls, though bear in mind high just means 50+, you dont have to buy those 100+ mouses for good mileage.

Surface matters to. Cloth gives more traction and plastic gives smooth movement obviously. Personally ive used a hard plastic mouse pad for awhile for so long that cloth feels to unnatutal now, buts probably better if you want to reduce jumpiness of a mouse when moving even slightly

I use a default mouse pad with wrist support, but it seems any surface I use, I still get jumpiness, and I have a Logitech G303 which are a bit more pricey from the looks of it...

For vidya, control should be a priority over looks. Fuck you graphics whores and your le better colors meme. No reason to spend so much for a high end ips when a decent tn does the job at a reasonable price

Watch the gameplay segments in this, and tell me you don't see the jankiness when he looks around.

Seriously, my mouse has this much worse whenever I try to play any games that require a mouse. When I play MGS GZ or Dead Rising 2, it is the most noticeable here as it jumps a little when I look around...

I just want to play my games my dude. And the thing is, is it doesn't happen when I use a controller.

Googles does wonders

Might be a hardware issue in that case. Not inherent in the mouse but a faulty unit. Hit up customer support and ask them

Imagine nearly a decade ago, where finding a 120hz monitor set at 120hz and not just using the fucking nvidia 3D meme on a physical store was difficult enough that you almost had to have faith on that technology not being placebo shit. I remember ordering a fucking 1680x1050 TN 120hz monitor for $350 and not knowing what I was getting.

nigga i have to click each one individually.

I am running the mouse with 5 DPI sensitivity levels. They are currently, running down it:

>1050
>1500
>3000
>7000
With a report rate of polling per second being at 1000.

Angle snapping for the mouse is off, and my screen is 1080p with a 60hz refresh rate.
