I'm trying to copy a series of numbers in rows from an old program but the problem with this program is that it doesn't let you copy & paste the numbers so I have to type them out manually. Problem with this though is there are a shit load of rows I need to copy over ranging from the hundred thousands or more. What's even worse about this is the old program I'm using isn't that great, if I lose focus like changing windows or alt+tabing(switching over to notepad for example) I lose my highlighted place. Its the only program that does what I need it to do and the dev has abandon the program a long time ago and can't be found.

To make a long story short, I need something that can copy text or numbers in a certain area without me having to type it. Is there anyway I can do that?

Can you export the data to something like a CSV or Excel file?
Does it have a database that you can query manually instead?

2TB EVO 860 or 2TB EVO 970?

If I'm not going to actually notice any difference in gaming, there's no point in getting the latter right? At what point would it be worth it to get the latter?

>Can you export the data to something like a CSV or Excel file?
I'm not really sure since I know very little on programing. To be more specific, the program I'm using reads memory dumps and sometimes convert certain addresses and offsets. It doesn't save anything, which is another problem with this program. What I want is the green addresses and offsets.

when i drag files from file managers like thunar into discord the file errors, am I doing something wrong or is discord messing up?

Just tried that with some free one online, this was pretty neat. Sadly because of how shitty the memory dump program I'm using is, it doesn't let you resize the program. That is a big as it gets, so imagine hundreds of thousands of lines in that small window. I'd have to take a shit load of screen shots.

how do i prevent firefox mobile from reloading tabs when i switch between it and another app? i currently must wait several seconds for whatever site's bloat to load fresh everytime i switch back to ff.

Get more RAM.
No really, that is why tabs auto close.

I haven't touched c# since 2011 or so
will start a new job soon and they use it for their fronted stuff.
anything new that's important to know or will I be fine?

you probably told your os to kill background apps
disabling that will increase your power draw, but you could probably whitelist firefox and you should be fine

There's some syntactic sugar
docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/whats-new/csharp-6
docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/whats-new/csharp-7
And you want to look into docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/concepts/async/

There's .NET Core/Standard and the Framework now, so you might want to look into that too.

alright, thanks for the list
I thought the biggest issue would be relearning the key binding, kek

nah it was reloading even on a simple jump to the home screen and back.
thanks i should have mentioned all the things i had already tried. anyway turns out disabling the following did the trick: browser.meta_refresh_when_inactive. i had tried a dozen flags before that but somehow reload synonyms eluded me.

Maybe you can find a macro program and automate the process of taking screenshots?

You can probably read it out with a simple program or even autohotkey.
Try finding the list/treeview with the spy helper and then hook into the application and read out the items one by one.
It requires a bit of programming though.

Wifi connection keeps dropping for 1-2 minutes every 1-2 hours for my laptops, but it's fine for smartphones. Wtf?

wifi cards go all the time

it only happens on my home network and to multiple laptops.. same laptops work just fine on other wifi connections

there's some really neat stuff in there
I like the string interpolation in 6 and pattern matching in 7
not really mandatory, but it makes some things a lot simpler and easier to read
thanks again

My new place has hard floor and my office chair rolls back when I put my feet on my foot rest. I cut a piece of cheap carpeting as a temporary solution, but it's kinda ugly and will probably create dust.

I looked on Amazon but only found chair mats that increase the rolling efficiency. It there any other solution than cut out carpeting? Is there wheels with a brake that would be accessible from the seat like the other mechanisms?

What, you get software audits in the Audio department?
Pirate it and call it a day.

I'm running video off my motherboard because I still need a new graphics card and I've got this thing where it's all choppy but when I move my mouse around the frames increase. I'd really like to be able to watch something without having to constantly move my mouse around for it to be at a decent framerate. I know it does that because it's set to increase performance when my mouse is moving, but is there any way to make it do that without having to move my mouse?

Some tutorials use express? But I don't need to run another application to query my database do I? I understand react/redux/using databases but I cannot link the two and I am lost.

There's LMMS, but "Good" is another question

I have a problem with my 144hz monitor that I recently got.
I'm running a dual monitor setup (60hz+144hz) and in Firefox, if I maximize the window, testufo.com tells me it's only running at 60hz
If I run firefox windowed however, it will show me 144hz.
Does anybody know how to fix this?

convert to ogg first.
And do you really need to work with .wem?

I'm an admin of a facebook group that posts fucked up shit, according to normies. So the threat of getting zucced is imminent, Is there a way I can download all of the content -posts, photos, videos etc- of said group for backup purposes?

I'm not looking to write my own CLI tool because I want the other admins to use it as well.

Which software is more reliable and trustworthy, for the purpose of cleaning up Windows 10 and turning off telemetry and removing bloat and stuff?

oo-software.com/en/shutup10
wpd.app/
Either of these, or is there something better?

Neither.
Install Windows 10 LTSB or LTSC and change group policy manually.

I cannot do that, I already have windows 10 home installed on a computer that I need to clean up.

>W10 Home
Yeah reinstall windows for a enterprise version.

LTSB and LTSC already come without all the shit that make Windows 10 bad.

don't I need to register enterprise every five years or some shit?

Pirate it?
LTSB MSToolkit.
LTSC KMS_VL_ALL.

are you retarded?
download the LTSB iso and fuck off.

haven't torrented anything in months and all my usual sites are dead or have been replaced with sites that throw an ad at you every time you blink and only have dead torrents
what site do you use to torrent these days?
UK btw

LTSB is windows 1607.
LTSC is windows 1807.

Windows 10 cant be fully cleaned even with placebo tools, then there is the forced updates of the home version.

Not the other user but is there a way to have this legally? If not, what's the best legal option beside these ?

Is there any alternative to Dropbox that doesn't suck more than Dropbox does? Dropbox feels pretty outdated at this point. I'm currently paying 10 bucks a month to get 1 TB of storage with Dropbox even though I'm only using less than 200 GB, I could probably bring it down to 100 GB.

depends what you're using it for.
what are you using it for?

Legally would be using it without activating it since it would run as "Evaluation mode" which is the same + a watermark at the bottom.
Unless you are under software audits in a business there is no harm in pirating it, Microsoft could care less as long people use Windows 10.

Mainly just to sync files between devices and using it as back up. I use practically every OS under the sun, Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

Sync.com seems pretty nice, but it only offers 500GB or 2TB storage, and I don't need that much. Google Drive offers 100GB for only 2 bucks a month but I don't know if I trust Google more than Dropbox.

how do i change my google play account region
there is no such option in mobile app and website

What's a good starting point for creating a system restore partition for Linuccs? Something that only needs tools to backup/restore another disk. Would gentoo be appropriate for this? Is there a simpler way? Like a program that does snapshots

Do I need to have my os installed on my ssd to be able to boot from it? I have the os installed on an hdd in the computer already but want to boot from my new sad. If not is there any way to transfer the files?

Clone your HDD to your SSD?

Thanks friend

WD, ADATA and Samsung have tools to move your files from your HDD to a new SSD.

It just dawned on me after counting that there will be 5HDDs and an SSD in my Fractal R6 that's coming in three days or so. Now what would be the best way of mounting them all to get the best thermals? Start from the bottom and fill from there, or from the top? Put one in and have one empty slot and continue like that? (I can put the SSD somewhere else, which would make this possible).

Or does it not matter at all?

SSD in top, rest of the HDDs in the bottom, intake fan should cool them down.
Idle HDDs rarely get hot since they are well... idle.

Doesn't work for archiving groups.

What issues could possible arise if I would try to plug in a HDD/SSD with my own Linux distro into the computer's SATA port I want to work with and use it as some kind of portable OS, assuming none of those machines have old/weird hardware?
Would everything just werk with this setup?

I'm looking to buy ELAC uni-fi ub5 speakers and they're rated at 4 ohms. Do I need to get an amp that says it can handle 4 ohms, and if I plug it into an amp for 6 or 8 ohms will it sound bad/explode? I'll be using them at my desk so they don't need to be very loud.

also what amp should I get, budget is ~200, ideally lower.
also is there anything better than UB5 in that price range for general purposes?

What is the best practice to let a user use sudo ?

What is a good duplicate photo finder for macOS, prefer open source.

i'm trying to yarhar some windows 7, but the keyboards and mice i have don't work at all so i can't install it. what do i do?

You get fewer headaches on usb.

You can streamline the necessary drivers into the installation.

I wasn't planning to do this anyway, just wondering if Linux installs on a given hard drive are 100% machine agnostic

3rd OP paste

I'd say it's 99% portable, and the 1% comes from weird booloader situations.

im interested in programming and computer hardware, specifically in respect to game consoles and doing shit on them (especially nes, sms/genesis+addons/saturn, ps1). i've tried going over documentation but i do not know what any of this shit means or what im supposed to do with it. i want to understand how it works & how to code for it. i was thinking a good starting off point would be to learn basic and fuck around on a vic-20 or something like that, or take a stab at assembly. any tips?

I just got an infrared thermometer and I feel like it might be giving me incorrect readings.
Can anyone one think of something I can read that can prove or disprove this?

Also, any tips for measuring hot water temps? I know this isn't the best tool for it, but I should be able to get somewhat close, no?

Thanks.

Take your body temp with it, under your tongue is a good spot. You could also try pointing it at an ice cube or at a pot of water starting to boil for good ballpark temps.

In what context are you trying to measure the temperature? If you're just trying to measure hot water coming out of a tap use a cooking thermometer.

Check if the thermometer is in Celsius or Fahrenheit FIRST

Out the top of my head I'd boil a pan of water in the oven.

When the water starts bubbling check if it reads 100Cº/212Fº

Sorry for late reaction, I went out and forgot I asked this question. I think I didn't word it right: I'm not worried about the HDD's getting warm, rather the rest of the PC with 5 drives partially blocking the intake. Would that be enough of an issue to think about spacing out the hard drives or am I overthinking this?

Where should I look online to set things up for voice recording with my computer?

I got 97.7F under my tongue, which is pretty close.
Ice cubes can be colder than 32F.
I did try boiling water, but got 202F which is 10F off.
I can't make heads or tails of it. Unless I just suck at using it.
>what context
Got it as a gift and I want to mainly use it for taking the temp of hot water for tea.

>C or F
I know this is /sqt/ but I'm not THAT stupid.
>boiling water
I tried this, but got 10F off.
Gonna try again though.

Not saying you were just that it is easy to overlook

>10F off.
thats not much probably due to convection currents

That's what I thought, but I didn't think it would be that huge a difference.
I just tried with a mug of hot water with a meat thermometer in it.
The surface of the water would read between 5 and 15 degrees off what the meat thermometer read.
Now I know these aren't perfect instruments for this, but all I need is like within 2 degrees.
Icing on the cake is the meat thermometer is fucking old. It could be wrong or at least not perfect.

Would a bad ram memory slot prevent the pc from booting up?

I removed everything but the cpu and when I put a memory stick in one of the two slots it won't boot.

Wat do, I think warranty is over and can't afford to buy a new motherboard ;_;

Pls send help.
