/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

Anyone know how to take apart the plastic shells of LG Flatrons? From what I can tell, they seperate from the front bezel first. Just want to double check before destroying my ME20CR, since there are literally no service manuals for it on the net. Same goes for teardown guides, since this is a 'medical' imaging monitor with no intended user servicibility.

Are you really using a laptop HDD as a OS HDD?
Anyway do the BSOD say anything or they are blank?
I assume you already reinstalled windows or atleast tested Linux for a stability test?

I have reinstalled windows multiple times, yes.
Yeah, I am using a laptop's HDD.
Blue screens have said a lot of things from memory error , system, watch dog violation, etc. Many things
I have reseated my RAM and for a while that seemed to fix everything... for 1 day... probably a coincidence. Computer crashes even if I'm only using my APU, so I don't think the gpu seating is the problem

Did you run Memtest yet?

Should I put a password on my android tablet? I use it for simple things like reading books but I have my google account on it. I'm not sure if I should put a password on it since it seems like a damn hassle inputting the pattern every time.

I haven't

Well run Memtest86+ and let one pass finish.

>what is ground
People sometimes get confused between grounding (making sure high voltage is safe) and ground (the reference point in a circuit where there is "0 volts"

"0 volts" doesn't mean there's no electricity there, it's just used as a reference to everything else. Voltage is a measure of electric potential difference between two points. One point has a lot of electric potential while another point has less. The difference between them is measured in volts. If you measure two points in a circuit and the difference between their electric potential is "5" then by convention you say one part is 5V while the other is 0V. The "0V" section is called ground, again by convention.

It's just easier to say the positive end of a batter is 5V end the other end is 0V than to say if you measured the electric potential difference between one end of the batter and the other you'll find that one end if 5 units higher than the other.

When running do I only leave one stick in or both of them? I have 2x4GB

Both.

What is she pissed about?

I want Yuugi to pulverize my pelvis.

Just how bad of an idea is it to rely on Bitlocker as my encryption? My goal is simply to make sure no-one can see the weird porn on my PC while I spend some time in the military.

Quick MPV question

What do I add to conf so that webms loop?

People are making fun of her for using GNU style brackets

Thank you

A regex can populate cells with occurance count, look up how to use them in Calc.

Enough to keep normalfags away from it, but wont stop anyone tech literate, bitlocker sucks in general.

Yeah see Veracrypt if you want any decent windows encryption.

Regex is just an expression that has a specific reference to what you are searching for.
There has to be a simpler way then writing thousands of cells worth of formula.

pls respond

>Do I need to do anything to test a micro sd card for legitimacy besides using h2testw?

h2testw and a speedtest.

Hi guys please don’t say the n word anymore it’s very inconsiderate thank you and spread this message

I got a Gsync monitor to enjoy high refresh rates, but realized neither of my computers support Gync. And only one even has a displayport. Wat do:

- get a 1070 ti for the stronger computer
- return it, get a Freesync + powerful AMD GPU (equivalent to 1070 ti, or in the ballpark)

? Also what are your thoughts on Zotac.
Yes. If it keeps locking because you put it down for a minute, increase the display timeout.

Good software to encode Webm?

I promise not to say the nigger word anymore!

Thanks. Is there a reason to use a separate program for the speed tests vs the numbers h2testw gives, or just to double check?

I have several dozen SATA drives that I want to hook up to a computer for streaming.
I dont want a NAS, i want these hooked right up to a desktop.
What should I look for as the most cost effective method? is there some sort of just SATA bay i can connect via USB or what?

*Sync is gamer meme garbage to make it more expensive.
It matters little

what the hell is this and how long has it been a thing

Yes just a double check.
CrystalDiskMark.
ATTO.
HDTune.
etc.

Thanks again. I was dumb and bought from Amazon knowing they mix the stock, so I'm just trying to be careful.

Sure, but if I want to upgrade regardless I might as well stay consistent right?

requirements are network connectivity, and the ability to configure SMB or NFS shares, preferably NFS.
If something will just connect to a PC via USB it fulfills all of these requirements

Get a 2070,no reason to buy 4 year old tech.

It's been a thing for a while but google purchased a popular video DRM tool (Widevine) in 2010. Essentially enabling DRM allows you to watch the video but your browser will run special proprietary software in a sandbox in order to get the video to play and often regular stuff your browser can do with videos is restricted by this software.

It's an attempt to stop people from just right clicking and downloading a video. Netflix uses it too. Try to download a video from Netflix. The silverlight plugin they use is DRM to prevent it.

So just plug them in to the motherboard?
Why would you want a slow ass usb connection?

oh okay, thanks for the info

You can do exactly this. I don't really get DRM in online videos but some exec somewhere thought it was a great idea.

can't remove usb safely because of system writing to these

Google says it might be caused by "everything.exe" which is some windows indexing program. It also seems like you should just be able to yank out the drive without it affecting anything

I am using TrueCrypt and I want to stop. I was using it just because I don't want people to access some of my files when they use my PC. What is a good alternative to the program? Just a program that blocks access to a hard drive partition unless I am the one who launches the PC.

Ok, seriously stupid question here but...why is VeraCrypt so much faster than Bitlocker? I tried both, the latter took ages to fully encrypt a drive while VeraCrypt was instantaneous. Am I missing something here?

Because it supports more encryption methods and types.
Also because Bitlocker is shit all around.

Also if your HDD/SSD supports hardware encryption then it will be fast.

Truecrypt deprecated itself because (a) Linux has had native alternatives for years and (b) Windows has had Bitlocker for a long enough period of time. So basically you should use one of those. Or if you don't want to or can't use one of those then use Veracrypt, which is Truecrypt's functionality adopted by a continuing open-source community.

That said, if you don't want people to access certain files and really mean it (rather than just a strong suggestion/deterrent), then encryption is really the only correct way. So whether it's Bitlocker, Truecrypt, Veracrypt, or whathaveyou, it's better than whatever "locked permission access" setup you can make without encryption.

But I don't need encryption. I just don't want my family and friends access some files. They aren't hackers or tech savvy and it wouldn't really be a problem if they found them. I just don't want them available unless I use my PC.

Look. Encryption is basically zero-cost. So anything that touts "security and privacy" without also providing encryption is probably either (a) so tech-incompetent that I wouldn't trust anything they make or (b) relying on the user to be so incompetent that the user will need to recover their access to their protected files without knowing the key, in which case how can you trust them to not give access to your family?

Just encrypt. It's not an extreme measure and the simpler you make the requirements for YOU to open up the drive for viewing, the simpler it will be for anyone else to.

Okay, I get it.

This is doable with regular Windows permissions...

Is there some better alternative to just copying and pasting files when trying to transfer the contents of 1 drive to another? Wangblows here.

is it possible to install GNU/Linux on a normal tablet? AFAIK, the kernel supports ARM, and there are plenty of software available for this architecture too.

Theorically? yes possible, but i hope you have a PhD in computer engineering and a really huge amount of knowledge in the tablet you want install Linux on because you will have to research, create and flash a huge amount of stuff.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for the google translate chrome extension?

So i got this build right now pcpartpicker.com/list/LxzKbX and i tried to update the motherboard bios to the newest build, and now turning it on causes it to shut down for a second, then come back on and it will either not post or if it does post it will show the same screen that it did when i was updating it, but it wont recognize any drive/folder with BIOS files in it. How the fuck did i screw up a bios update?

So a few days ago all of my CSS for google.com stopped working in opera.

I was using Stylus with a dark google theme, and it doesn't work anymore. I tried installing a direct dark extension for google (lit. Dark theme for Google™) and that doesn't work either. Other CSS works fine. What the fuck is the problem here? I didn't change any permissions or anything, tried reinstalling the extensions/style, and nothing. Anyone help?

Yesterday I picked up a new monitor to replace my smaller one that I used in a dual setup and ever since, my PC has crashed anytime I've opened a Twitch stream. I've never had this issue prior to using this new monitor. I've tried re-seating my graphics card and I've done a clean install with DDU. I'm not sure what else to try. Specs:
CPU: i5 4670k
GPU: AMD R9 390
Mobo: MSI z87 MPower
PSU: OCZ ModxStream 700W
Ram: 8gb
OS: Win10
I was playing Destiny 2 for hours without issue today. It seems to happen ONLY when I try to watch a Twitch stream. My old monitor setup was a 1920x1080 and a 1366x768 and I'm now using dual 1920x1080s.

any particular suggestions? something with a lenient OS so I can dl free comics through legitimate means

It's the kernal (taken from ubuntu iirc) without any of the gui elements of linux. So you can run linux compatible shit, but there's not really a gui or most of what you would associate with an OS.

Since LineageOs is a linux distro and supposed to be completely open, does it have full bash, git, and nano/vim? Could I install programs from github like todo.sh?

What about terminal/unix shells? Does it have it’s own file system or just have access to windows

Never got the response I was looking for from the last thread so I'm reposting.

I'm an electrical engineering student needing to learn Python. I'm decent at C, and fantastic at Motorola 68HC11 assembly. Literally, the only things I know about Python are that spacing matters, and it's interpreted instead of compiled.

I recently ran across this:
store.techspot.com/sales/the-ultimate-python-programmer-s-bootcamp-bundle?utm_source=techspot.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=the-ultimate-python-programmer-s-bootcamp-bundle&utm_term=scsf-303472&utm_content=a0x1a000003o9hb&scsonar=1

and was wondering if it was worth the money, or if there are better ways to learn Python. Any advice?

Also, is there any reason to learn Python 2 or should I jump right into 3? Thanks in advance, Jow Forumsentoomen.

Got an old mouse, it's all plastic and the sides are sticky as shit. Wouldn't wipe off with water or windex, so I'm assuming the wrong cleaning agent was used on it. Any way to make it not stick as shit anymore?

Make a Linux USB.
>I have never used Linux before
Make a Linux Mint Cinnamon USB using Rufus.

>Why
Because RAM and CPU are working, you still have to check the rest.
There are 4 stuff left to confirm and pray is not the last one, not because its expensive but because it will be annoying to check.
We have to confirm the HDD is not failing, that Wangblows is not the problem, that the motherboard is not dying, or that the PSU is not dying.

>HDD
Run the disk utility and run a benchmark, post results.
>Wangblows
If you dont get a Kernel panic then its HDD/Windows related.
>Motherboard
Kernel panic.
>PSU
You will need another PSU.
Judging by your setup i assume you cheaped on it, let me guess, Corsair? Chinese? Thermaltek? Prebuilt?

RMS is probably losing his shit over this with even windows calling it linux.

Kind of hate Microsoft for this. My biggest complaint with windows is a lack of a useful command line now I have much less to bitch about.
