/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

Hope this is the right thread to ask.

Does anyone have recommendations for a home audio system? Christmas present for family, looking to replace something like pic.

Looking for something that will play let a phone stream music to it and still play CD's/LP's.

Bought a new gpu and whenever I set my resulting to 4k in games I get this weird black border around the entire thing. Anyone heard of this before?

What display are you using?

What's the difference between a lan to usb 2.0 and a lan to usb 3.0 adapter?

Supposedly speed. Unless of course it's a type C connector instead of a type A.

not him but how good is snapraid? what's the performance?

That's really not the question to be asking. Raid gets very little use for speed these days, with SSDs being a thing. If somebody mentions raid, it's because they're after reliability, which snapraid is MUCH better at.

Yup, that's why I use RAID6.

Why do people buy K series Intel CPUs but don't overclock them at all? I've seen this trend a lot on the PC building thread for some reason.

I plugged my 2nd monitor with a hdmi cable but it only shows deskop background from my 1st monitor. I can't see any other stuff like internet browsing ect

they come with a higher base and turbo clock.

8700k: Base: 3.7GHz, Turbo: 4.7GHz
8700: Base: 3.2GHz, Turbo: 4.6GHz

okay but how's the behavior? how bothersome it is to use it and such. does it like different sizes of disks?

Read the FAQ. And it doesn't give a shit about disk size.

Move stuff there?

I made a thread and then immediatly remembered this bread. I'm having problems getting themes to work. Latest firefox version, 4chanX and stylish. No themes work for any board except Jow Forums where some themes work.

but why don't PC performance benchmark tools just show flop units?

because people are too retarded to understand FLOPS and all consumers care is about how much FPS one can get in video gaymes.

Because each one of the tools tasks your computer with a different thing. A computer that performs really high in 3Dmark might performer poorly in cinebench, or vice versa

should I stick with ubuntu 18.04 or upgrade to 18.10?

inductor
125C

that's a fingertip with a fixed inductor on top of it.
how hot it depends on how well you tolerate heat.
that inductor, on the other hand, can operate at 125C! that's pretty fucking hot!
and can operate at negative 40C! WHOA!

fuck you, I was typing my answer already

please

mine desktop gets at 25dB and I have pretty open case
might be louder if I play gaymes or anything, haven't noticed it being too loud
my stupid mechanical keyboard is much louder

thanks anyway
whats an inductor actually do?

Buy noctua fans, buy a new heatsink.
Done, no more sound.

And buy a Thinkcentre M93p, yours is too old user.

how the fuck you installed ubuntu or debian in the first place?

Is there a way to apply uBlock filters globally? For example having ##.cookie-dialog and ###cookies to apply to all sites?

this laptop came with windows 10 and I just used unetbootin, and then I used unetbootin again when going from ubuntu --> debian. But now unetbootin doesn't seem to have a debian version.

my pc has audible fan noise but it's not loud. it's like hearing the a/c hum

>I used unetbootin
how exactly you used it? isn't it a tool to make bootable FLASH DRIVE/DVD/CD?

yea, but you can also select hard disks and mount straight onto them, which is what I did twice. If I get unetbootin running on debian I could probably do it again, this time even installing Xubuntu or Lubuntu instead if I want to.
Which I might, because I feel really dumb now.

I'm looking for a good new router. I would like it to have detachable antennas so I can put some high gain antennas on it.

Router I currently have chokes constantly while I'm downloading stuff and I can't get any signal in my living room.

so you booted from hard disk to install on hard disk?
kek
why the fuck you don't have a USB stick? it's not like they're expensive now

have you tried:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gezakovacs/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unetbootin

what you think about this figures, are they any good?
browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/11262338

>high gain
That's not what makes a good router. Increasing the gain just means you're pointing the signal in a narrower direction. Which is great if you want to communicate to a single device in another building. Not so much if you want good signal around your house.

thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-wi-fi-router/

Base Frequency 2.93 GHz
Maximum Frequency 2.92 GHz

what did they mean by this

Fucked up BCLK, not a problem.

Buy a E8400 or a Q6600?

I have, third line just leads to "E: Unable to locate package Unetbootin"

I don't own because well I don't know, I just never use them. I guess I'll have to get one next time I go to the store but that is in a week's time and I'd like this fixed a lot sooner than that.

did apt-get update went without any errors?
did you typed unetbootin without any typos? (it's case-sensitive)

redpill me on cheap silent case fans

I've got a cool domain name and I'd like to set it up so that people can register emails to it. How do I do this?
I've heard that it can be as simple as just installing postfix, but I've also heard that I need to set up and maintain spam filters, and work hard to stay of spam filters myself.
I'd also like it to be mostly like an alias -- if mail to your alias was sent to your main address, and you could still send mail from the alias.

Using my phone as a line in to my sound card; it works fine until I plug the phone into its charger, when I do that, my music keeps playing but i get a really loud buzz coming from my speakers. The buzz continues even if i pause my music. Any idea what causes this?
My setup is: LG Z506 5.1 speakers, Soundblast Audigy Fx sound card, Nexus 6P.
Help would be appreciated, thanks.

am i stupid for wanting to play aaa titles of 2018 on just a ryzen 3 apu?

So I have a power bank and I just ordered a small solar panel (it's like 5v and 1w), what else should I buy? I have read in the internet that you need a voltage regulator like pic related, but the only ones that I can find, changes the voltage from 5 to 220, any tips?

Attached: 00107-1.jpg (600x600, 34K)

wait for zen 2 APUs
they will be able to play AAA titles on 1080p at decent quality
most likely

what does this do:
apt-get search unetbootin

Yea the typo was in my post, I typed unetbootin, not Unetbootin.
For the second part I got E: The repository 'ppa.launchpad.net/gezakovacs/ppa/ubuntu disco release' does not have a Release file.

E: Invalid operation search

Noctua fans make less sound but they are expensive.
Done, that is it.

How do I set multiple different desktop backgrounds on ubuntu? Whenever I change it it changes it for all my monitors.

uh...
just download binary (32 bit, obviously, because you've installed 32bit OS)
open terminal
cd Downloads
chmod +x ./unetbootin-linux
sudo ./unetbootin-linux

it's probably apt-search

binary url, if you can't find it for some reason: unetbootin.github.io/linux_download.html

how to make certain parts run RAM only?

/b/

Just tried it, no errors but when I run sudo ./unetbootin-linux-661.bin absolutely nothing happens. Also i tried apt-search and got command not found.

OK BUT SO I DOWNLOADED THE 64 BIT AND IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING. I got some error I didn't read, something something arch linux. but unetbootin opened. Time to try this shit again. Goodbye GNOME 3.

how can this discord be so cancer? literal reddit bot
github com/tiananmensquare/pigbot/blob/master/redditwatcher.go

install 64bit OS this time and if debian, use unstable release for newer software
anons say it's not that unstable, so should work, I guess
or go back to comfy ubuntu LTS and worry not for next few years

Where is it? Googling it just tells me to go open it from control panel instead of right clicking the desktop. It's not in my control panel. I have the latest drivers and I've already tried reinstalling them. Some older or shit new ones require me to edit a few of these settings. Help

Wanted to use an old phone i have laying around as an mp3 player. This shit showed on the screen. How do i fix it?

You installed geforce experience but not NVidia drivers.

enter safe mode, run a program called DDU to remove all drivers and registries related to drivers. reboot into normal mode and reinstall drivers again, make sure to do custom install and specify the drivers to be installed.

Any c programmers out there?

if i have this integer declaration and assignment

x = 1, 2, 3;

printf("%d", x);

it gives me 1, what is happening here, what's the purpose of the comma separated other integers?

Attached: barclay.jpg (694x530, 89K)

int x; **

x= 1, 2, 3;

When you write
int x[3] = {1, 2, 3}
variable x isn't the whole array at once but a starting address.
When you pass it to printf and say that it should be a decimal it takes an address and treats it as a regular integer.
There is 1 under that address. It takes it and prints it.

To print an array in c you have to write a loop and cycle through each digit

That's the comma operator. The comma operator has the lowest precedence of all operators, and it sequences expressions (similar to but distinct from the semicolon which separates statements)
