Second release? I'm not too sure, is there a way to check that? I downloaded last month, so probably the first release?

pv < /dev/sdy > /dev/sdz
where sdy is the old one, and sdz in the new one

I just want to write Java or Python code and not have to deal with Javascript, CSS, and 10000 frameworks. What kind of work should I get into? Cloud stuff? Software as a service? I'm going to get a Master's eventually for Data Science but until then I gotta get money somehow. Graduating soon. What would you guys recommend?

How can I be sure?

Are cracked laptop screens generally irrepairable and irreplaceable?

My younger brother's school laptop is an HP Spectre, but has a crack at the top of the screen, mainly on the bezel. Would it not be possible to take it to a repair shop and get it fixed?

That's intentional. Email doesn't take time to "load'. The different providers add that because it creates a mental response of you wanting the email, making them seem more valuable when you get to them. It's basically a loading bar added because there are too many psychologists in marketing now.

are you fucking kidding me jesus christ
>psychology
seriously?
thats fucked up i dont know what to say
any proof or just a personal opinion?

I can't remember exactly where I read it. It was in some article where they interviewed a bunch of people in tech about the different things they do like that, that are the equivalent of flowers at the front of a grocery store. Mind hacks that work in their favor.

I just replaced my storage drive on my laptop because it was failing, can I clone my breaking one to my new internal one and still keep all my installed programs working fine?

I couldn't find anything on Google about installed programs working fine after clone

I've been wondering about the value of VPN's and privacy online, especially after I recently visited some tabloid news site and a google popup started asking me about my income level.

Anyone able to give me a basic outline of what data ISP's obtain and see? I mean does the average person working at my ISP see all the porn sites I visit? I force HTTPS on all sites, and google is HTTPS - so does that mean my ISP can't see any of my google searches? I always see stories about murderers searching for how to kill people before they do - did the police obtain these records from their ISP or from Google? Anyone able to give me a basic outline of how this all works?

What do you think about the layout of Jow Forums?

I need a replacement mouse, my G400s has given up. Minimum 5 buttons not including the standard LMB/RMB/Wheel. No ricer shit.

Am I an idiot for trying to get a job with GeekSquad or is it a viable entry level tech job? I've only ever worked customer service so I'm used to dealing with retards but I don't know if it's worth trying for this one.

trying to get a job is never wrong in this world
the question is do u really want a job and are you motivated to work?

Which VPN provider has the least number of its proxies banned here?
If someone does something illegal with a proxy and I use it next can I get in trouble or are am I safe?
Is it true that even though these VPN providers say they won't keep logs they keep them anyway?
I'm considering NordVPN btw but they are based in the most cucked part of the world. Is there a better alternative?

How can I compile multiple PDFs into one without buying Acrobat pro?
I don't want to upload personal documents to some website.

You need to create an image that starts a single session with a single track writes you data in raw mode then optionally finalizes the disk.

What's you end game here? Why? Why not just burn the text file.

copy everything into a new office libre document then export to pdf

Take a look at PDFtk or Poppler-utils. Both offer various tools for the manipulation of PDFs.

Is it worth investing any serious time into learning programming? I'm not looking to be a software engineer; I'm pursuing infosec. I know the likes of Python can help to automate processes, but outside of that, all I really considered learning is C. I'm just not entirely sure that it's worth the effort.

where a cheap microphone that doesn't pick up noise from my next door neighbors? We share a wall.

Yes, it is the future. Stick with it, do your best user. I believe in you.

They're splitting the site into two domains so SFW boards can hopefully generate more advertising revenue. I re read your post to answer your other questions, but you actually just asked the same one 5 different ways.

What is the best way to estimate the amount of traffic Jow Forums gets over time?

How comes Windows Disk Management couldn't format and assign a drive letter to my drive, but I could with diskpart?
Aren't they basically the same thing?

Hey Jow Forumsents, looking for a laptop that I could get for school. My budget is up to 1200$. It should do IDEs and the occasional GIS or light CAD program. Any recommendations are welcome.

Should I buy the iPhone 7 or the Samsung S8?

I want a 4k TV under 500 euros and I'm torn between the LG 55UK6470 and Samsung UE49NU7170.

The LG is back-lid and has an IPS panel and the Samsung is edge-lit and has a VA panel. The Samsung has a refresh rate of 60hz en the lg 50hz.

Im at a loss here Which one do I choose? I don't care about viewing angles and often watch films in the dark.

Does anyone have experience with cheap-ish 4k tv's from these brands?

how can i check if my .gitignore file is working?
it looks like:
*.pyc
**/__pycache__

i.e. it should ignore all python cache files. but git status still shows them as modified and untracked (i.e. git add stages them)

why the fuck isn't it working?

DID Jow Forums X (CCD0) STOP WORKING ON CHROME FOR ANYONE ELSE

IT WORDS FINE ON FIREFOX BUT I HATE IT

Use enterprise or education.

I bought some courses on Udemy to learn programming.
Javascript
PHP
C
C++
Python (it's mostly 3 but python 2 is also in the course)
Java
What other programming languages should I get a course for to be as interesting as possible when applying for a programming job (Javascript and PHP are requested the most so I'm probably going to learn them first)?
I was considering getting Go as well but I'm not sure how much that is being requested with it being a fairly new language (There aren't any job postings for it near me at all for it).

Should I really not be using an IDE for programming or are Jow Forums autists just being autistic for no reason?

Want isn't a part of it. I'm going to NEED a job. I just want to do something other than what I've been doing and I figure working a year or three as a glorified CS agent working near computers should be a good way to get a foot in the door elsewhere. I'll moving to another state here soon and I'm looking for anything I'm qualified for. GeekSquad seems like it might be not complete dogshit because at least I can laugh at retards in the back with other people who are at least halfway competent with the tech we're handling.

It's a more low level tool with less restrictions. If dispart can't do it, then windows itself can't and you'll have to go third party.

we write all our programs by scanning 1's and 0's scribbled on paper
>just being autistic for no reason?
this. just use whatever

You should always be wary when Jow Forums trys to talk you out of something because of "muh bloat". Use whatever is most effective for you.

Wormhole or syncthing in a container might be something worth looking into

git rm *.pyc

How many cats is too many?

That makes sense. I just assumed Disk Manager was a GUI for diskpart.

Even 1 is unethical, and more than 1 monster.

I'm looking to buy a new monitor to use as a second screen for my laptop and as a main screen eventually when I can get a desktop, what's the best way for me to find deals during all these sales?

>W-why i have 2 cats pls no bully

But if you have only 1 cat won't it be lonely?

I have 5.
I don't see what's unethical about it, if they're happy it's fine, no?

There's no such number.

Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 4 Runtime

I have read that is for creatin web applications and is part of .NET Framework but what is it exactly for? and, can I just uninstall it?

How do I know which GAPPS Im suppose to download?

Also, should I flash no-verity-opt-encrypt before or after factory resetting device

how to decrypt 256-bit aes without the key

Nice try, FBI.

Come on man my whole career is on the line here I messed up bad

>How do I know which GAPPS Im suppose to download?
That depends on which device you have and which google apps/services you want applied to your system. If the instructions you're following (you ARE getting your rom from XDA, right?) mention a type, that's a start.

>Also, should I flash no-verity-opt-encrypt before or after factory resetting device
Again, best to follow device specific instructions, but here's this

forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/guide-how-to-root-device-encryption-t3742493

No kidding.

So is there really no way? Oh man... I'm getting fired over this for sure...

Making my first java oop, have some noob oop questions

Its a program that creates a tournament bracket
Basically the user enters names and it outputs them in random pairs

I just hardcoded it all into the main method, if i were to turn it to a OOP what would i call the object(or objects, but im assuming a small program like this only needs 1?)?

And im confused about what bits of code are meant to be enacted on an object, and which bits are meant to be just hardcoded in the main, if any?

If it was doable, not only would you have a laundry list of groups willing to pay you 10s of millions for the trick, but the fundamental security of the internet would collapse. Only possible thing that could help is if you picked a really shitty password, you might be able to try a dictionary attack to try and guess it.

User?

alright guys i flashed a custom rom onto my redmeme phone

when i restart it just stays on a blackscreen/makes sounds when i connect the cable

but i can still restart the phone/boot into twrp

what do?

or Player/Name whatever i didn't read your question closely

Ouch dude. How'd you fuck it up that bad?

go to /csg/ or /spg/

Are you sure?
Then each individual user/player/name would need their own object, it seems so inefficient
