Printers are bakas. Mine makes lots of faded blue streaks all across the paper if it has more colors than black and white.

If I have my computer connected up to my tv as a second monitor via hdmi, and that tv also has other inputs via hdmi, is there an easy/simple way to capture images from the tv from other sources, using the connection to my computer?

Yeah no

just use pdflatex [filename]. It'll compile your tex document to pdf format.

I bought this second hand SSD in late September. It had maybe 25 GB written on it so those counters works. But the power on hours counter is wrong, I use it every single day for at least 16 hours. Yet it still only shows 5. When I bought it it showed 1. Since then it slowly increased to 5. Apparently it is counting something, but what? Definitely not the power on hours. What could it be? Even the official SanDisk Tool shows 5 hours uptime.

trying to help a senior citizen with his PC
dell optiplex 320 (running win 7 pro, so no OS support or specific drivers from dell website) slow af with 2x 512MB DDR2 sticks. (literally takes 5 minutes to load a webpage in chrome)
updated BIOS to 1.1.12 (from 1.1.5)

bought Crucial 4GB Kit (2 x 2GB) DDR2-667 UDIMM (CT2KIT25664AA667)

for some reason, i can't get BOTH 2GB sticks to work at the same time. best i can get is 2.5GB and it now only takes 15-20 seconds to load the average webpage on chrome.

Trying to get multiprocessing to work using Python, the first process should run all the time while rest of the code gets executed by the second process. It looks like this
def main():
process_one = Process(target=first_function())
process_one.start()
process_two = Process(target=second_function())
process_two.start()
return

What happens is that the program goes stays in the loop that's executed with process one instead of continuing to starting the second process. How can I fix this? Please tell in simple terms, I've touched programming for the first time yesterday.

what can i use to tell what program or service is creating files? dealing with a win7 machine that is creating 120mb cab files every 20 mins in the temp folder and all the the things i find online involve restarting a service which doesn't work or scripts to auto clear the folder every now and then, and thats not a solution either.

I'm a novice at programming. For the past couple of years I've taught myself the basics and made some personal projects using C# pretty much exclusively. I've started to feel pretty comfortable with it but I also feel I've plateaued and my question is what would the logical next step be if I want to learn more advanced stuff and control things on a more intricate level (rather than rely on the language to handle everything for me)? Specifically, I want to design nice looking graphical interfaces/animations and to be able to optimize everything so it runs as efficiently as possible. I have no idea where to go from here though, what should I move onto and how? Is C++ still relevant today?

Hi.

I found this [pic related] in an old forum.
However, I cannot find another post (especially and official one from DELL) to corroborate it.

I have dealt with things like this in the past. so I thought I could help. Sorry I cannot.

Hopefully, another user can help you. I am sure it is very frustrating.

If I use MSi Afterburner to only change the Temp Limit of my GPU, is that still overclocking? Is there any risk to the GPU by doing this? My case has terrible airflow and the GPU has been running hotter than I like but Ive found using Afterburner and limiting the temp (without changing Power Limit, Core Clock, or Memory Clock settings) cools my GPU right down.

Slamming my noggin against an autodidactical wall.

Theres a program that brings up another prompt within the terminal that I'd like to send the command "home" to every 10 seconds. There's no argument I can pass to the rainbowstream command that does this. I tried some tty tomfoolery but every time I send an "enter" press to the terminal from another console it just puts the cursor on the next line and doesn't send the command. Thoughts?

Is it possible to make a new drive on my computer?
For example. there's a C:\\ folder.
Can I make a Z:\\ folder ?

Yes by either adding a new drive or partitioning your current drive

You can assign a drive letter to a separate partition

Attached: create-new-partition-in-unallocated-space.png (650x537, 71K)

It has to be free space?
I only have like 10GB left, and I was going to move 100GB of stuff to that partition.

Yes it would have to be unallocated space if a separate partition doesn't already exist

also i think that they have less ghosting but it might depend on the monitor

How do I get a "fresh install" of Windows 10 without losing my key?
I got Windows 7 for free from University when it came out, and I've since updated. If I was to reinstall, I can't give the key, and its not displayed anywhere. And of course I don't have a Windows 10 installer, since I got it as an update.

How do I arbitrarily pause a thread in C# without using Suspend, since that is deprecated?
I have a long running task on background thread that I want to stop or resume at will.
Everyone is telling me to use Manual or AutoResetEvent, but this requires the thread to WaitOne(), which defeats the purpose of stopping at "any time".

You can download a free ISO from the windows website, burn that to a USB and you have an installer.

As for key you can just install without one then run a RemoveWAT Activator which will remove the annoying watermarks and you basically have a licensed copy.

What exactly do you mean? Judging by your settings all images and css should be allowed, from both first and third paries. And on the first party site everything should be allowed.
Take a screencap or something.

Kek it's literally disabled.
See that asterisk at the top next to the domain name?
Click that one. Then press the "on" button.
Red = off
Blue = on
Remember to save it.

How can it be disabled though? Shouldnt it follow the rules list?
Why is it disabled on every domain but there is nothing in the "My rules" section?

It's at the top of your filter list. The part you cut out of your screenshot.
See that? The second one.
You literally turned it off.
If it was on you probably wouldn't be able to post since referrer spoofing breaks the captcha.

I bought a pre-owned monitor and got this wall mount for free. It has some sort of spacer though that I can't understand which purpose it fills. Is it necessary for curved monitors? The one I bought was a curved uw but I plan on using the wall mount on a different (flat) screen.

It was pre-installed to the base itself by the previous owner but I don't know if that's the default or if he just screwed it on for easier handling. Anyway, what is the purpose for it? Can I just remove it and install my monitor directly to the "backplate" itself? The product images for the wall mount are all displayed without the additional box, spacer or whatever I should call it.

I'm trying to pin down what's wrong with a PC, so it was shutting down randomly, the PSU was quite new, just over 2 months old. Temperatures seemed alright, the CPU cooler is an evo 212 and its fan was quite loud, however Coretemp and HWINFO were saying the CPU was ranging from 41C to 67C at most while under load. The PC wasn't used for weeks, then after changing its thermal paste it started to work fine for a week until today, where another random shutdown happened. Is it likely for the temperature sensors to be wrong, or is the overheating theory busted at this point?

I'm not sure if the paste did anything or not having used the PC for a while was the reason why it was performing alright. The evo 212's cooler is much quieter now at least.
