Are there any new 7nm Ryzens with iGPU?
I don't care about gayman, so iGPU would suit me better.

My problem:
When in Xubuntu I want to know the size of free disk space and want to rightclick>properties,
there is no free white space in the file manager to place the rightclick because the default setting is "file details".
In the Thunar file manager always I have to click "menue>view>symbols".
Where can I click, what can I do, to speed up the process, any shortcut?
I love the commandline, but for this problem I want a fast solution with mouseclicking in the folder/directory and not "df -h and lsblk".

Python noob user here. Thanks, the calculator was working fine so far and now i only need to find a way to make it ask the user whether he wants to jump back to the beginning of the code or not to do another calculation.
Couldn't reply earlier since the boomer instructor in coding class was hounding me and actually scoured through all my open tabs and notepad files one by one, i really should have closed firefox beforehand kek. Fucker literally waited till i opened the reply box in order to bust me for asking online, joke's on him though since he didn't clarify this beforehand and he can't formally reprimand me for it or subtract points smdh

In Linux you could used parted to remove all the partitions on the drive
It would be something like:
parted optimal -a /dev/sdb
rm 10
mkpart 1 -1
quit

You would have to find out if /dev/sdb is actually the right device.

Oh an then you'd have to
mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sdb

Also it's:
parted -a optimal /dev/sdb

You could probably do this in WSL if you are on windows.

Does using a SATA to USB adapter for (intended) internal drives put a lot of strain on them? Like, should you only use them externally that way if you absolutely have to or is it basically no issue at all?

>now i only need to find a way to make it ask the user whether he wants to jump back to the beginning of the code or not to do another calculation
First you need to decide how to handle it.

How to do this though?

I have an amazon fire 8 HD that I wanna remove all of amazon's bloat from. I tried using the adb tools but I need to have root to uninstall via terminal. Anyone have any guide on how to root the fire 8? Firmware is 5.3.6.4 and its the 6th generation. If possible I wanna just install normal android onto it, I know there's a method with cracking open the back and using a paperclip but I was hoping someone knows of an easier way?

>How to do this though?

this isn't valid python, but the general idea is this. (and maybe coding isn't in your future)

"press X to exit, any other key to continue"

if (keypress == key_X):

exit()

yes i meant how to do this in python

If you are a cute girl you might "succeed" as a coder, but otherwise I'd get used to saying "do you want fries with that?"

I dont want to code shit, i just want to get this one task right to stick it to that boomer

Also the notion you'd need to become a fast food worker if you can't code rather than chosing from the myriad of other professional fields available is pretty heckin stupid imo

>i just want to get this one task right to stick it to that boomer

Stop going to class, and when that boomer flunks you, go up to him and yell "I DON'T GIVE A SHIT YOU'RE NOT THE MOM OF ME".

That will be 1000x better than writing code for him.

Ill consider that thanks

Different mobos and shit. Yes, you'll have to reinstall.

Is there a lightweight alternative to visual studio if I only want to compile a c# project? I just want to compile some source code I got from github, I've tried sharp develop but it doesn't support 14.0, I've seen some command line options for compiling a .cs file but this project is many .cs files tied together into a .sln.

So what's the fastest way to compile this project? Would I need to download all the dependencies manually?

Trying to shrink my collection of laptops. What would you sell them for on eBay or CL? Individually.

No issue except for speed loss depending on your USB ports version/ability

Doesn't make sense to use an external SSD, for example

I cloned my HDD to a SSD. I unplugged my HDD and started up my PC and it works fine. But when I replug in my HDD, what stops my computer from booting from that one instead of the SSD?

Does transfer time matter?
If not, build a small cheap network PC, include as many drives as you want, simply transfer over network to your backup system. If it's important, don't forget to set it up to automatically clone drives. This can be done for like 200$ if you're smart, 400$ if you're as retarded as you seem, I say that because a bone stock 50$ PC on eBay from 2010, namely the mass produced dells, would be ideal for you. Another 150 in storage devices and you're golden.

So I’m not an audiophile in any way whatsoever, and I see audiophiles knock sound bars all the time because “they’re not real surround sound systems”—but what about the 5.1 Soundbar systems that do come with rear speakers? And also allow for control for each individual speaker. Mainly Left, Right, and Center.

Are 5.1 sound bar systems decent in the sense that I’m not an audiophile who isn’t going to complain that someone’s voice is 0.5dB lower than it should be?

BIOS boot settings.
Google "(your PC model) BIOS key"
Press that key as it's booting, fairly soon, right after you power on.
Find setting regarding "BOOT SEQUENCE" or something, and change the SSD to position 2. Position 1 should always be USB PORT if it's available on your model, so you can boot from a recovery USB drive if ever needed.

Get a sata>sata external enclosure and just plug it in to your system and have the cable come out of one of your empty pci lanes

You probably have power settings in bios that specifically address this, it's a very popular ecofag setting for laptops and small form factor PCs.

found an old monitor in the neighborhood's trash dump, would I want to get out of my way and buy a
VGA adaptor to hdmi plus a VGA wire only to test if it works? it sems pretty good for programming as it has a 4:3 display and in theory it turns on just fine (though the screen turns off a few seconds after the "no signal" message, but I'm assuming this is working as intended). I have a GTX 1060 so I can't straight up use VGA

Is privateinternetaccess a good vpn or is it part of the chinese botnet?

You don't have any old laptops, desktops, anything? You can't be serious...
How much is the display worth? Would you have bought a monitor anyways? How much will you save by buying the adapter?

If it doesn't work or has flaws, now you can buy another old display and use that for "programming"

file->properties or alt-enter

or

ctrl+1 to switch to icon view
right click->properties
ctrl+2 to go back to detailed view

or

click the 2 pixel wide margin on the right between the last column of details table and scrollbar

now that you've brought it up, I realized my laptop (not an old one though) has VGA port for some reason. I just assumed it didn't. now I think I'm going to buy the VGA wire and if it works I might order the adaptor online, the wire shouldn't be expensive anyways and I can buy it from a local tech store. thanks for pointing it out teehee
and I didn't have any intentions of getting myself a new monitor any soon, but I wouldn't bother using this one if it happens to still be working well. it's also a bit aesthetic because it looks old as fuck, like 90s/early 2000s old, but I might facial skin might get damaged in the long-run by its shitty display

Im a dorm cuck right now or else I would just build a Nas out of one of the old PCs I have laying around. It's gonna be probably a few hundred gigs of shit. I'm just wondering if it's worth it to get an external drive or if I could get away with just throwing the drive in a drawer. I have a free sata port but no room for a drive.

Relax, it's a joke.

Seems decent, though it's US based.

Because it's faster to approximate the mathematical model for the end result than to calculate the end result based on all the mathematical models for each individual part of the end result. Even though doing the latter will actually increase scientific knowledge while doing the former won't.

Is there a simple tool to transcode videos?

ffmpeg

You want a refresh rate higher than the framerate of your videos but it doesn't have to be that much higher unless you're really picky about cursor movement. you do need as much color accuracy as you can afford. Oled monitors will burn in if they have static elements on then for too long (like a taskbar), but that doesn't matter if you auto hide the taskbar, and cycle through desktop backgrounds.

I just discovered ranger, cmus and youtube-dl, what are some other ebin programs?

Basically the sound bar form factor is all about being stuck under a TV screen, as opposed to the audio being the entertainment by itself. So even if there's no /real/ difference in the sound, there's still the symbolic issue.

Handbrake, which is a GUI for ffmpeg.

Anyone use Defraggler? I'm using the free space defrag and I told it not to fragment my files, but my total fragments keeps going up and up. I stopped it after letting it run for 2 hours since I don't know if it was even working or not. I honestly just want to move the files so there's no empty space in the middle and I already know that it won't speed up my computer at all.

So I guess my question is should I just let it finish running? Or not use the free space defrag? The big empty space in the middle is going to bother me.

I can't help you user, but you gave me a great idea for some bored developer: everything is so fast and wonderful these days, make a HDD or SDD that incorporates a linux layer to handle the file system, while pretending that it's whatever Microsoft is using 40 years after they first started trying to figure this crap out.

Yeah, but some systems have a subwoofer and rear speakers so you have an actual 5.1 setup as opposed to the early sound bar systems that were just LCR and “simulate” rear speakers

ffmpeg, Handbrake, Xmedia Recode (if on Windows)

Technically it uses ffmpeg libraries, but it's not just a GUI frontend for ffmpeg.

So uh, do AV receivers and speakers not come with wires and plugs? You have to buy them separately and strip the wires and attach the connectors and all that shit?

Will I be able to add a secondary drive?

Attached: 1549717221692.png (629x108, 17K)

Obviously yes.

how?

I don't think it really matters. You have a bit more control over them if you shuck them though. Also, don't use the hardware encryption, that way if the USB controller dies you can just shuck it and use it internally without issues.
For backup, I personally use rsync, but I don't know if that's available to you. I'd suggest to keep one unshucked and back up to that, and store it off-site.

shuck means what?

Taking the internal drive out of external drives. Removing the shell. Generally the external drives are cheaper than the comparable internal drives.
