When I connect my iPad to my MacBook I can stream the iPad screen using the QuickTime player. Is there any similar software that does this on windows 10? QuickTime player won’t even run and I cant airplay without buying third party software
I bought an M2 SSD enclosure
I connected it to just the circuit board and plugged it in, it works fine but there's a flashing blue light constantly

Repostan from the old thread.
I really really like the way the Latin alphabet looks with the SimSun font, but its intention was to support Chinese text.
Is the Latin font that SimSun possesses something that was just copy-pasted? Does it have its own name? I don't wanna be retarded and tell people it's my favourite font if the only part of it I'm using has a standalone version.
Firefox had some major changes in the last years, and even though it's always been my browser of choice, I want to change.
Is there a fast non-botnet browser out there that is not full of flaws or botnet?
I tried waterfox and it gives me errors on Jow Forums and while trying to play ended videos on some websites.

I asked this last thread but no one replied. Everytime I try to search up anything, it tells me that my connection is not private. On the bottom it says "NET::EER_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID", I'm using Linux. What does this mean, and how would I fix it?
Is there any way to set up Windows 10 firewall to block certain applications\programs that aren't installed on the system yet?
My issue is - I have an elaborate anti-porn system in place for myself, but I'm a hardcore addict and the past few times I've found a way to install an alternate internet browser (one without one of the layers of anti-porn protection in place), and then gained access to porn that way.
I'm currently using a giant hosts file to ban lots of sites, but I keep getting these browsers working.
Is there a way to block say Chrome from accessing the internet before it's even installed?
I've no idea. Sometimes it blinks, sometimes it doesn't
I tried to access my files but it kind of hung as I clicked into the folders. Could be relevant?
Whats a good program WITH an interface for downloading youtube videos on windows? youtube-dl is too complicated for me, and when i try and google it i get a bunch of either online converters or weird sketchy looking ones
i want to nakadashi that loli
>youtube-dl is too complicated for me,
Dude you literally open CMD and paste the link of the youtube video you want to download.
What is it too complicated to you?
If you want the fullretard mode paste the youtube-dl.exe and ffmpeg.exe files in your user folder and just open cmd.
I use '4K Video Downloader', I have the paid version but the free version doesn't have annoying popups or anything. It's very good and simple.
If you're that retarded to think youtube-dl is complicated, just use a front-end for it: github.com
Is this too complicated to you?
Write youtube-dl.exe and the link of what you want to download?

Is class 1 bluetooth actually any good?
Im more interested in the range. Would I be able to leave my phone in my bag and walk around the gym with bluetooth headphones?
Is Apple the only manufacturer thats doing class 1?
It's called "willpower", you absolutely pathetic faggot. Jesus H. Christ, find some.
No offence to you but you're being ignorant and dismissive of my issues. Be a little more open-minded.
That's not how it works. Telling a cocaine addict to just exercise "willpower" as he sits alone in a room with coke is obviously ridiculous. He has an ADDICTION which motivates him to resort to cocaine out of boredom or in periods of stress.
Pornography addiction is just like that. "Willpower" is a spook.

Why isn't my GPU automatically cooling? It's a shitty little RX550, the fan for whatever reason is not spinning on its own and is causing overheat crashes. If I use speedfan to manually set fanspeeds it will use that, but "automatic fan speed" doesn't do anything. Speedfan can even display a false automatic fanspeed percentage while the fan isn't running at all and the card is very close to overheating.
I wanna ravage every hole of hers
When I try to start a flask webserver through fabric file I get UnicodeEncodeErrors. But if started it manually there's no issue. Virtualenv is activated without issue and I have no idea what else could be wrong.
Sounds like your security certificates be bjorked. Sadly, I've no idea how to fix this in Linux - but search "update security certificates Linux", or some such... Eh, on another system/OS.
I have an 8TB seagate external.
I pulled the drive once and tried it in a few systems, none would boot with the drive installed.
After some reading, it seems there is some sort of firmware jew-ery done.
Is it healthy to run this off usb3 for daily use. Obviously wouldn't have software/etc installed on it. But is USB3 enough bandwidth for daily read/write? Like the old external SCSI drives of years past.
You can add the IPs to your host file.

Or just install a kid watcher.
Mind, if you're determined it remains an addiction your powerless to resist, it will always be.
I did a fresh install of windows 10 recently. I accidentally chose express install for data gathering options rather than turning them off at the point of booting. How do i got about turning those off? Do i have to go to a shit load of dmseveral different settings windows or is there a convenient option?
Should be able to just lock it to max with speedfan, but sounds like the fan is dying, lest this is a used one someone tweaked the fan settings on (though SF should undo that).
USB3 certainly has the bandwidth for it, and if SMART says it's okay, probably fine - just crappy interface ya can't boot from.
Seagates have been known to have heat issues in the past (even when in a reasonable range), but I dunno about this model.
There maybe some help in the OP's stickies, but some things can't be gotten rid of once they are on (albeit, this includes several things you wouldn't have been given the option to turn off without custom installers).
They'll turn themselves back on when you update, don't bother.
Thanks for the input.
I'm using my new External hard drive on Windows but I've literally done nothing on it and the shit just won't eject and tells me it's in use
Why and how do I stop this
A friend recently gave me their metropcs lg stylo 2 plus running android 7.0. I'm interested in rooting it because the restrictions are driving me insane (I'm not even capable of formatting an SD card to serve as additional internal storage) but I've never rooted a phone before.
I did some searching but most of what I'm seeing is "HERE'S THIS NIFTY ONE-CLICK APP THAT'LL DO IT YOU CAN TOTALLY TRUST IT" sites and even the Jow Forums wiki just says what rooting is in regards to androids instead of actually saying what I can trust. Any of these apps/sites trustworthy and if not, any recommendations?
Can't ya just unplug it? Never seen an external HDD with some sorta mechanical lock.
I can but isn't that bad for the drive?
Nah. Only real risk is you'd lose data that's still in the cache waiting to be written - if ya ain't done nuttin with it, it's fine. Likely Windows just being overzealous with file handle locking, as per usual.
>Likely Windows just being overzealous with file handle locking, as per usual.
MacOS does this actually, user is probably tstl.
my intro to cs course uses java, and they recommend working with the oracle jdk installation. is there any difference between that and the openjdk i can get in the ubuntu repository?
Nah, they're mostly identical except for the 800:1 lawyer ratio at Oracle.
Windows is probably indexing it.
Dunno if they have the equivalent of Unlocker for MacOS. Granted, I'm not even sure where to get a non-malware version of that now - just have it on a half dozen different "computer repair" USBs. Handy though.
Thanks
I didn't even have any files on there, in the end I just yanked it out like the other dude suggested. I'm not sure if Windows was indexing it, it even went to sleep at one point. I literally did nothing to it except plug it in. If you're wondering why I didn't try removing it when it fell asleep, I didn't need it then and it waa plugged in for a few hours at least
Are you insulting me user? Why?

I'm going to crack all tripcodes used on Jow Forums in the last year.
This is going to take about 7 months.
What should I do with them?
Please start with Jow Forums so we can banish these insufferable tripfags.
Did I break something?
what happened?
what are some of the good mechanical keyboards that everyone on Jow Forums uses. i always see them in the battlestation threads and want to get one but dont know where to look
why do people like the mechanical keyboards so much? is it just the clicking sounds?
used ( 8 months ) g3 450 hp probook
i7 6500 @2.5ghz
8gbs ram
128gb ssd

15.6 in diagonal HD1 anti-glare flat LED-backlit (1366 x 768)
no signs of tampering, keyboard and touchpad were precise, battery ( 3 cell ) looked okay
He's asking me 400€
How is it ?
It genuinely feels nicer to type on if you do a lot of typing.
Epecially compared to a chiclet keyboard, I'd rather use a shitty membrane keyboard than that for sure.
Look up sold listings on eBay if you want to know if it's a fair price
Otherwise I wouldn't bother if it was just 8GB, unless you're planning on putting a flavour of *nix on it.
i dunno, ive been using my razer for so long that when i try to use a mechanical keyboard it feels harder to type on
blackwidow? that's mechanical too senpai.
It really depends on the switch, you just need to find the right one or equivalent to the razer greens.
the one im using is a deathstalker, its alright but ive had it for a couple of years now so im sure it is going to break soon. all of my previous razer devices have.
what do you mean by switch? the key? these are tiny, well slightly smaller than an american penny but they are like 1/8th in tall.
>have to apply more pressure per key
>calling it nicer
wtf?
still using a membrane keyboard myself for like 10€
that mech boards are nice is a meme made by autists who feel pleased that they actually feel the key pressed down instead of accidentally pressing down keys without feeling it and then blaming the game for being bad when they are bad themselves
it's chiclet, yikes
reds (basically no resistance/actuation point) are for gaming if that's what you're after.
you can tailor keyboards to whatever the fuck you like, there's basically a switch for everything.
yeah but my fingers can fly over it when i type i dont see that being a possibility on a keyboard with huge keys
are reds still counted as mech?
also is that _the_ ultimate keyboard? i still remember the sound
you can get lower profile key caps, but really, just get what makes you happy senpai
people will laugh, but they're usually basement dwelling neet incels anyway
I'd assume that the reds are, being that they are still Cherry MX's, probably depends who you ask.
and Unicomp makes them still if you're referring to the IBM Model M
i dont think im ready to do a custom keyboard lol
this one was a gift so it will work for now, will probably get a logitic or something in the future, but i dont want to buy it online, i will have to go feel them at fry's or something first. i did get my girlfriend a redimp rgb off amazon and its an alright keyboard, she just wanted something "with big keys and lights! :3" so thats what she got
just rice it the fuck out with aftermarket key caps or whatever if you ever feel the need.
If you want an idea about the feel, look up switch testers, I got mine from NovelKeys (pic related) but as a warning: plebbit.
Note that you'll also want some sample caps as well if you're ordering, but testing in store is probably better.
>switch tester
wtf? never knew people were so into keyboards... i dont think a switch tester will work for me because i have to type on it to really get an idea of how it would work for me "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy gay dog"
How would you describe this item?
it's a whole new world friendo, and yeah, testing it in store really would be better

I want to power a 120mm fan without using a computer. Being able to control the speed of the fan would be nice but not necessary. So should I just go for a 2 pin fan and wire the 2 wires directly to a 12v DC power source? Is there a simple way to get speed control working with a fan with more pins or would I need a microcontroller?
is ecc ram for home servers a meme? what good is it when failing hard drives are probably more likely to corrupt data?

Yes. Just use the regular shit. /x/ faggots on Jow Forums talking about beta rays from the sun corrupting they manga. It's bullshit. The guy the made ZFS said it doesn't matter.
I recently got an AMD gpu from a friend (GTX 670 had vram failure) who gave me an r9 290x. With my old GTX 670 I could set framerate caps in games such as 60fps, and the gpu would not run at 100%, just what it needed to (according to MSI Afterburner and RTSS Overlay, with it varying between 40% load in older games to around 70-90% for some newer games when it wasn't completely maxed out). This allowed the card to run cooler, i.e. not breaking 40-45c in older games, and sometimes running at around 55c or so with less demanding titles. However with the r9 290x it seems to run at 100% gpu usage, regardless of the settings (i.e. using lower game settings/setting framerate caps) If i cap my framerate to 60 fps the gpu still runs all out, and temps creep up to ~94c, even though uncapping the fps in the game (such as Overwatch) allows the card to pull anywhere from 140-170fps and results in the same temperature (it's a stock cooler r9 290x). Is it possibly just a driver related bug (installed the latest ones available of 18.10) or do amd cards simply run in an all or nothing fashion? i.e. regardless of framerate achieved they'll run at 100% of TDP. One of the things I liked about my 670 was being able to run it at less than full load for lower temps and less power draw, and the fact the card runs so hot is a little worrying (I may set up a more aggressive fan curve to try keep it below 90c if possible).
Why do emails cia craiglist get all bunched in one email chain so everyone can see what im saying to everyone? So fucking stupid
>do amd cards simply run in an all or nothing fashion?
no
cant help you with the other stuff but i know the new cards vary their power consumption and rates, even the fans dont run all the time
Wifi stopped working on an old laptop. Got it checked the guy said the wifi card is fried. Should I buy a usb wifi adapter? Are they any good?
Seems to be working now. What I had to do was reinstall ca-certificates-mozilla. Thanks for the help!

It seems like my apartment is getting Gigabit Fiber connectiong. They asked me to buy a router. Obviously its going to be AC but I have question: How much Mbit can utilize with with a router rated for 1200mbit if 300 out of it goes by the 2.4 Standard?
