/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

If the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.

They have so many driver/misc issues, they're quirky machines, and there are no user-serviceable parts.

Proceed at your own risk.

3:2 gud

I got the option of looking at it before buying. Gonna be checking the usual shit - dead pixels and the like

The machine is still on warranty until 2020 so if there are big defects I should be able to exchange it. I saw some people talking about driver issues, particularly with the integrated/gtx 1060 switching between tablet mode and normie mode.

Use Ableton, pic related :^)

I'm throwing a house party tomorrow, problem is i don't have any audio system except my dad's 100w marshall guitar amp, will plugging phone's headphone output into amp's main input fuck up the amp?

guitar amps are for guitars only, they produce specific frequencies. you can use it if you want to have an audio system with EQ that cuts highs and lows

thanks, do you think that scooping mids both on phone and amp will sound decent?

Is it somehow possible to install a new operating system without using an USB or CD?
I don't have any available.
Not dual boot intended.

I was posting just fine last few days, try today, says I'm banned, check it, it says I was banned from January to today for using VPN and having name "." (I don't namefag and don't have VPN)

I don't believe that all the headers, indents and wrapping at 80 characters is done by hand, there has to be a piece of software that does it for you, but I haven't been able to find anything.

if your mobo bios support it you can boot from network with a lan cable
maybe you just changed public ip for whatever reason. restart your router if you have dyn ip

Oh! Totally forgot network boot. Thanks!

Any way to salvage this so it doesn't have to boot a second time every time I switch to the second OS installation?

Is there a way to select items in an existing library, say movies for instance, and move them to a different library in plex? I've got on folder containing all of my tv shows and movies, and several of my shows are being added to my movies library which is bugging me.

I'm lurking for a charger for my old galaxy s3 and all the ones on aliexpress are meant for fast/quick charging, what's the term to get just a normal charger??

I put ubuntu on my spare old laptop to fuck around and learn some coding basics. Got rid of gnome (because its ugly as sin and i'd like to use some screen space instead of wasting it in empty useless bars) and installed unity since i already had some experience with it. Since then, the trackpad doesnt register tapping it as a click, i have to literally press down on the trackpad. Any idea why is this happening?

Also, a comp engineer friend told me to start with code.org but so far its literal braindead stuff, is there something more "not kid oriented"?

Attached: Immagine1.png (1117x612, 741K)

Yes, my 750ti works ok mostly but has various bugs like 100% cpu usage on mpv so I'll likely get amd gpu for my next build

What the fuck. Is it the SATA cable or some shit?

It doesn't matter if the charger supports fast charging. If your phone doesn't fast charging, it will just draw 1 Amp from the charger.

Also, don't buy cheap chinese chargers

make a fake account fakenamegenerator.com/

That's good to know, I will be getting a charger+cable soon. I'm also aware of the problems with cheap chinese stuff but /csg/ made a good infographic with reputable brands some time ago.

the problem is not only the amplifier, the problem is guitar speakers, they are special instrument speakers that are not suited for home audio systems.

Hey Jow Forums. Im building a new pc for the first time and i wanted your opinion. I have a 60" 4k tv that i use for all my gaming needs. But since im converting to full time pc i need some professional opinions and advice. Is a monitor better for pc gaming, or can i use my tv with no real consequences that will affect my gaming overall?

Attached: tvmonitor.jpg (1280x720, 103K)

Yeah but I have an NVIDIA card in my PC, and it's not old enough for me to consider buying a new one

reason people prefer monitors is higher frequency, lower latency and panel type. there's nothing wrong in using a tv as monitor but you have to check your own specs and see if you are ok with it

Ok. It seems to be working but I got randomly logged out at some point. Is there anything to be aware of? Do they have some kind of secret stalker detection?

I bought a pcie 4x to m.2 adapter, but I fucked up.. my motherboard has a 1x, NOT a 4x pcie slot. Will this retarded setup work: I bought a pcie 1x to pcie 16x adapter. Will the 4x m.2 adapter fit in the 1to16x adapter? And will this retarded setup even give me SSD speeds?

x1 is slower than SATA.
You'll get around 500MB/s.
Probably less because of the janky setup.

TVs usually have higher latency than monitors in most cases it's not much of an issue unless you are trying to be a 360noscopeMLGPro, but in some TVs the delay can be noticeable

How do you get the latest microsoft office for free? KMS?

Not for me really

Dumb question, but that's still better than hdd speeds right? My 1to16x adapter comes tomorrow so I guess we'll see if it works..

This has probably been asked a lot. What does Jow Forums think is the best WM or DE?

I've used footfetish/KDE/xfce/mate for quite a while, then I switched to i3-gaps, which is cool, but I don't like that I have to customize EVERY single aspect of the WM, it just requires too much time. I've had a bit of spare time so I've been able to be a ricefag to my liking, but being realistic, it's something I don't think I can afford if I actually want to be productive.

Footfetish and KDE are okay, but I think they hog too much memory. Is there anything that can look good and not use that much memory?

wat do Jow Forums?

nevermind I got it now

What free email provider do normal people use and what do thier emails lool like, is it more [email protected]?

I see a lot of email addresses at work.

Older people usually use their ISPs email service.
Others use one of the million free ones.

>what do they look like
mostly some combination of first and lastname, sometimes with a number at the end if it's a popular name.

Is it just me or Youtube's Old Layout is not accessible anymore?
I was using this userscript which seemed to be working just fine until like a minute ago, when I wanted to watch a video and got sent to the New Layout. I can't seem to put the old one back.

Is bromite botnet?

So no one knows the answer? Can I just download the w10 media creation thing and it upgrades it or do I need to do some hacky junk? I've seriously never done this before

could anyone with a 1080 tell me what their min GPU load and temperatures are at? specifically i'm looking for owners of ASUS cards, but i'm interested in looking at data from any 1080 too.

i'm not doing much of anything right now and i'm at 24% load minimum. 54C all of the time. this card has always been like this so i think i just lost the lottery and got a really shitty one.

also is there a website i can find user data like this? just wanna know if this is normal for this card or if i just have a shit one.

Do I even need an free antivirus programm if I use the Windows 10 Defender?

So I had Avira installed ever since the Windows XP days (I'm a tech illiterate), and Windows 10 Defender apperently is pretty good right now. Do I even need Avira or other free Antivirus programms nowadays when im a Windows 10 idiot? Avira kind of became a CPU hog (34% on idle) and its interface is an unresponsive buggy mess.
I use uBlock Origin and NoScript on FireFox, can I uninstall Avira without fearing some annoying virus, or should I keep it installed? Or should I have something else running on the side? I heard some stuff about Malwarebytes, but no clue what it does.

Yes they can. PrivateInternetAccess has legal backing behind it (they've been asked to give logs and didn't because they don't keep any), so they seem like a good choice

Is there something wrong with using a DAC with no headphone amp? For me it doesn't get that loud but seems to sound fine.

>headphone amp
Why do you need one if you don't use headphones?

I do use headphones (ATH-M20x).

Nothing wrong with getting a headphone amp then.
I guess was a brainlet.

I took a required data structures course for my cs degree about 2 years ago as a six week course during the summer and I didn’t retain any of the information, can anyone recommend me some books to brush up on algorithms and data structures, preferably in java?
