Hey guys, I'm going to find a job. I'm really into IT, I like and I can work with servers, linux and networking, so I'd like to be a sysadmin or network admin
But at the same time, I'd like to work part-time so I can spend the rest of the time pursuing my other hobbies and pretending I have a social life, and maybe being a programmer is more fit for this requirement. Thing is, I don't really want to spend my life writing code
I'm also interested in security, but I don't know much about it except for common practices and some basic stuff, I'm willing to learn, but I don't know if I can do it as a part-time job
What are your suggestions?
My Win 7 desktop was giving me black screen, while the computer was still powered on, it's like a shutdown happened, however the hardware doesn't exactly power off you know, it's still going and trying to restart. The PSU is brand new. Sometimes the PC will not boot and no beeps will be heard, just the monitor going analog/digital trying to check signals. I also noticed that the 970 GPU had its LED lights flashing for a brief second, may be related to the shutdowns.
So I took the gtx 970 out of its PCIe x16 socket, and now put it in the PCIe x4 socket below and shit seems to be working fine so far. Is my motherboard done for?
I cant get my computer to boot off it's ssd. it's always 1 of 3 things
>reboot and select proper boot device
>windows startup error
>starts up and shuts off in a loop

gayman laptops usually have kinda strong cooling systems but also generate way more heat in the first place so it'll end up running hotter than a "normal" laptop
plus it's a waste of money if you don't need the specs.
If you don't play to do gaymin on a laptop, why not go for some laptop with a lot of battery life instead?

How to get 10 bit color depth on Linux?
Im going to post a straight up hoework question
inb4 do your own homework etc etc :(
anyway my problem is
given an array of numbers i need to find the longest increasing subsequence, BUT with one exception, meaning that you can reset from a lower number one time.
an example:
array:
3 9 4 5 8 6 1 3 7
result:
7
(3 4 5 6 1 3 7)
(see how it reseted at 1)
anyway i tried solving it with patience sorting, finding the first LIS and then finding the LIS from the elements that were left on the (original array - LIS)
this seems to work on a few testcases, but not all.
does any user maybe know anything more or want to find?
cheers
Is it difficult to re-install windows after upgrading new MOBO & CPU?
I have a problem concerning VNs. I'm having difficulties getting them to show the proper text. Everything else seems to works, just the text is a mess of symbols.
I am fairly certain that I have switched to Japanese locale, a check returns LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 etc. The names on the windows also display properly, as opposed to before the switch and one VN also displays text, albeit in a different font than the one I know from my previous setup. I also tried a game of the Touhou series and the dot seemed to be missing, wherever there should have been a dot there was a box instead. Otherwise everything looked fine. I also tried something that was suggested online, along the lines of $ LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine pathtogame/game.exe, but it doesn't change anything.
I am running ubuntu 18.04 and wine --version returns wine-3.20.
this is the same as "find the two adjacent increasing sequences with the longest total length"
just advance through the array, incrementing the current sequence's length and remembering the previous one's length
when you reach the end of a sequence, compare cur + prev to the longest so far and maybe update it, then set prev = cur, cur = 0, and start counting again

What's best practice in Python for writing a function that changes behaviour depending on the type of an argument? I'm trying to implement matrices that multiply differently depending on if the argument is a scalar or a matrix.
if I need to use a botnet program what do I do to keep it separate from the rest of my computer? Is that what docker containers are for?
So yesterday I got a ryzen and this mobo
newegg.com
and everytime I go to shut it off, it leaves my LED's on my keyboard on and my DAC lights on until I unplug them. Then when I go to boot, I get stuck on the mobo screen until I hard reset the computer. Then it'll boot up normally stupid fast because it's on an SSD.
Can anyone help with this? Is my mobo bios out of date or something?
What's the recommended way to activate Windows 10 LTSC?
I feel like everywhere I look shows something different on how to do it and I'm not even sure they are trustworthy.
I shouldn't overclock DDR4 ram past XMP profiles right?
>I'm trying to implement matrices
any particular reason? why not use numpy?
Why are wall power outlets always groups of two? Why not 4?
Python newbie here.
So you can just add new attributes to a class at any point? Why would Python allow this?
>>> class test_class():
... def __init__(self, int, string):
... self.int = int
... self.string = string
...
>>> x = test_class(0, "whatever")
>>> print(x.int)
0
>>> print(x.string)
whatever
>>> print(x.float)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
AttributeError: 'test_class' object has no attribute 'float'
>>> x.float = 1.2
>>> print(x.float)
1.2
I have a single column with rows of names in a spreadsheet.
I want to find out the occurrence of each name in the column for all entries in the column and print them out else where on the sheet.
I tried pivot tables but it didnt return any data on the occurrences of them, just the names.
Is there another way to display the data?
Using libreoffice
XMP are the factory safe rated speeds. It's possible to overclock further but like all hardware it depends on silicon lottery.
What's the difference between Office 365 and Office 2019?
Not really a Python specialist either but does this answer your question?
docs.python.org
don't overload your dumb function, just have separate ones for scalar and matrix multiplication
having one function that does totally different things based on the types of the arguments is terrible for code readability/understandability
subscription based vs not
I don't know if it matters but the boot order on my mobo is as follows:
1. Windows Boot Managemer
2. AHCI 1: EVO 860
3. UEFI Built In EF(gets cut off here)
Could this be the reason I have to turn off entirely to start up?
365 is ""software as a service"" aka "keep paying us forever, you don't actually own shit"
You can't use Office 365 on February 29.
Just for fun. I probably should learn numpy at some point though.
I'd make different ones except I kinda want them both to work as in a math equation. They're magic methods for addition and multiplication, so its kinda reasonable for them to have different behaviours depending on the types of the arguments? Like how adding an int to a float returns a float, whereas adding an int to an int returns an int.
I managed to install W7 on my new machine (2700X and Crosshair VII), everything works, except it can't detect a network adapter. Do I need to install one manually? I'm not sure if it's a mobo issue or a windows issue. Mobo's bios is up to date.
How do you disable the Volume notification for thinkpad in windows 7 without uninstalling the utility?
Forgot to mention there's no drivers (at least I found none which is why I'm here) related to networks on the Asus website.
Shit, never mind. There ARE LAN drivers, just not under windows 7 section, only 10. Will those drivers work on 7?
Asked this in a previous thread but got no answer, Jow Forums(nel) on firefox won't save my chosen style and every time I open up a new tab or refresh it reverts back to Yotsuba B. Any ideas?
Should I format my disk before a new Windows installation or does the setup take care of that?
Just play it safe and do it after the setup.
Can firefox track your search history,like
how google can?
My old laptop died in a non salvageable way so i took out the (only) HDD.
Now i want to use this as a regular HDD for my PC, do i plug it on and just delete everything it had or there are some extra steps to do?
what is the purpose of unistd.h?
What are good open source projects to contribute to?
Just got a new GTX 1070 today from the B&H Black Friday sale. It seems to be working, as in all the drivers installed correctly and I can run tensor flow code on the GPU, but the fans keep spinning up to max speed for a few seconds at random even when the computer is not doing anything intensive (just web browsing). The temperature has been a constant 43 degrees C.
How do I fix this? It's very annoying.
nope
Set a custom fancurve with MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision. It will force the fans to run at what you set it to.
>do i plug it on and just delete everything it had
yes that should be enough
some good but underrated

How do I use the xmp profiles to overclock my Ryzen 2600x?
What's a safe overclock number with the stock fan?
I'm making a tabletop organizer for my dad for Christmas. Think wallet, keys, phone stand, glasses holder, pens, et al. He did a lot of COBOL back in the day and calls it the "pocket procedure."
I thought I'd engrave a code snippet to that effect on it, to the effect of "if pockets empty, then put stuff in pocket" else if "pockets full, empty pockets onto tray" but I don't know COBOL. If anyone could write up a valid pocket program, I'd be extremely appreciative.
Where can I buy one of those 30 dollar intel computer sticks with the atoms inside them? All the ones on amazon are now over 100 dollars.
now it took a longer time to get me there, but blackscreen again
Is there a specialized tool for popping out laptop keyboards?
I'm trying to replace the fan on this laptop but I can't get past the keyboard. I've got most of it out but its still kinda stuck, what do you suggest?
Search for "[your laptop model] disassembly" on Youtube.
Search your laptop model followed by teardown.
the xmp profiles are for RAM
Stock CPU voltage is enough for stock fan, so any overclock within those parameters should be safe. Every CPU is different so you have to test how far you can go. If you have to bump the voltage to be stable then you need something better than the stock fan.
Now I have switched the GPU for an older and lower tdp 6850 and got more blackscreen reboots minutes after win 7 started.
Is there a guide somewhere I can learn about this?
I want to make sure I don't do something stupid but I want the Jow Forums approved retard friendly guide.
Yes. The dumb folks at PNY thought the default fan curves were good where the GPU stays at 50% fanspeed at 80C, so I had to adjust it myself.
80C isnt hot for a gpu.
You're right but the dumb Nvidia GPU Boost 3.0 thinks that's too hot and underclocks my boost core. So I have to override what the PHD guys did.
>using "boost" "features" on electronics
The Jews made it automatic and they're depriving me of my performance because some retard thought 80C is too hot for a GPU and 50% is a good fanspeed for max load.
I've been studying certification reference materials the past month and recently got my A+, plan on going for Network+ soon since it seems to be an all-around good certification to fluff up the resume. My question is, in regards to going down a specific IT path, are roadmaps like the attached image accurate at all? If so, what would you recommend branching off to, and why?
My current hoster fucked me over with prices (by making them 500% the previous price when it's renewed next time).
What's a good hoster for simple websites (just html/php/javascript kind of stuff since i'm still starting out with webdev).
There's plenty of Ryzen overclocking guides on YouTube if you're a visual learner or text guides on Google if you're a logic learning.
Basically as long as you don't raise your voltages to unreasonable levels you can't mess up and if you do then you can just restart and try again.
Can I get the code for this? Thanks guys
Write a program that simulates a lottery. The program should have an array of five integers named lotteryNumbers. Using a method and the Random class (from the Java API) to generate a random number in the range of 0 through 9 for each element in the array and display the lottery numbers. The program should also have a method that accepts an array of five (5) integers that represent a person’s lottery picks. A third method is to compare the corresponding elements in the two arrays and return the number of digits that match.
If a user matches all 5 numbers, display a message that they have won the grand prize. Matching 4 digits is second prize and 3 digits is third place prize. Matching 2 digits or less should display a message to try again.

I want my desktop to have internet access, but the wireless router in my house is a room away and I can't move it.
How can I get wifi on my desktop?
Is there significant performance loss if I use wifi instead of ethernet?
Do modern mobos come with wireless capability, or do I have to buy a wireless card?
Currently I just use a really long ethernet cable, but it gets in the way a lot and is kind of ugly.
Your files could still be on there though, it just means there isn't a correct windows installation on there.
You still have your backups, right?
You wouldn't have files you can't afford to lose stored in only once place, right?
Maybe look into those powerline adapters ?
They're a little pricey depending on what type you buy but it pretty much runs the ethernet signal over your power lines (which is kind of weird but awesome at the same time).
Some motherboards come with WiFi, others don't. You have to research the board. If it doesn't have WiFi then you can buy a USB WiFi dongle or a PCI WiFi card. The USB one is easier to setup and more likely to have supported drivers. As for performance, it varies on which GHz band you use and how fast your router is. But there will always be higher latency with wireless over wired, you will notice it in say FTP file transfers.
>can i get a ps4 with a two inch controlller, please
when.
Why is the google captcha so fucking annoying? I make one Jow Forums post then it keeps giving me the ones where new images appear, but the new images appear at fucking snail speed, and then it makes me do another one anyway. Why does the system think I'm a robot? How do I fuck it right back?
I cant find the website that listed pc budget and builds for that price range. It was linked either on the sticky or in /pcbg/ but I just cant find it. The list was color coded btw
I just installed a fresh boot of Windows XP on a hard drive, but upon reaching the desktop I cannot use the USB keyboard or mouse. They are frozen. The light on the bottom of the mouse is lit so they are received power, and worked fine in BIOS. I put the hard drive into another PC but the same problem occurred. There are no PS/2 ports, just USB.
After a while a message comes up on the desktop referring to USB drivers. If I have to install USB drivers, how is this done without a keyboard and mouse? Is there a XP ISO that has USB drivers pre-installed?
>I'm really into IT, I like and I can work with servers, linux and networking
Get a job doing that. Don't do part time, get a salary gig at a large company. You will have a ton of free time at work to pursue other things, like programming or security. A lot of companies will even pay for your certs.
XP SP3 iso come with mouse+keyboard drivers.
That's what I'm using. So I guess it's not that.
After buying myself an iPad, I want to give Apple's environment a chance (things like AirDrop look pretty convenient), but I'm way too cheap to pay a few grand for something like a MacBook Pro. Would Hackintosh be a good idea? Theoretically, I can build a clone of a Mac Pro trashcan (I doubt it would be that hard) since it's not supposed to have any Apple devices like keyboards or displays out of the box, and connect everything to it. What are the downsides?
sucks you don't have a PS/2 port then
I have a 7600k currently and really enjoy it. Would I be better just upgrading my mobo AND processor next time I choose to, or would a 7700k be okay? I really only play video games and do web stuff. I have an RX470 and a 1080p monitor as well.
It's working now. I literally just left it for 15 minutes and it fixed itself. Computers man. Moody bitches.
I'm testing out having my own .sty file so I can just load in most of the packages, commands, styles, etc, I usually use in my TeX files.
Where the hell do I put my .sty file though?
I tried to put it in /usr/share/texmf directory and then running texhash, but it didn't work. Reading through a TeX stackexchange only left me more confused, and it appears I'm not supposed to even be able to do this for a system wide texlive install.

pls respond
What setting allows the network option to appear in file explorer? I have it in the pic but i've noticed other people don't have it at all so what option in windows 10 enables it in file explorer? Using win10 Home if that makes a difference
Alright so I need to run a windows partition on my laptop for school and shit. My question is, what is the least retarded version of Windows to us, considering I can run 7, 8.1 or 10.
>the jews
So you dont understand thermodynamics?
You wont need 100% fan speed till you're hitting thermal breakdown that causes actual damage to the card.Anything above 150C is damaging and requires 100% fan speed. 50% for 80C is more then adequate and gives you "muh performance"
