/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

selling one of my PCs. dont know what i did with the win10 disc or serial. can i reset it without them?

Is it advisable to replace a CPU with the motherboard still in the case if there is room to maneuver? What are some tips to getting the heatsink off of the CPU without destroying the CPU?

with the other computer i plugged it into the pwm and it was at 100%. i then unplugged it and plugged it into a normal fan header, and its speed was slow and silent.

Is there a way to get an offline copy of all RMS emails on the mailing list?

Furry is against Jow Forums rules.

Please Jow Forums tell me how I can into writing software that manipulates hardware.

I want to write a computer program that can feed instructions to a machine, but all I have ever done is webdev/software/gamedev. Is there a good book on how to get into that? Would the toy robots kids play with to learn programming be a good start?

yeah you can do it. just make sure your case has a cutout behind the motherboard so you can access any screws that might need loosening to remove the fan. the thermal paste between the heatsink and cpu can act like a glue, so with amd cpus, there is a chance the cpu pulls out with the fan. So maybe try slightly twisting the fan loose after the screws holding the fan down are removed.

Not OP but the global rules have been changed, now only furry porn is against the rules.

Nobody has posted any furry though. Non-nude kemono is okay.

It is a Noctua NHD15, so after loosening the two screws should I attempt to sort of wiggle it off, or attempt to slide it enough to were pressure lessens and then can be lifted? I would prefer to keep the CPU for another build if at all possible, but this huge heatsink has me worried I might just flatout rip the CPU from the socket like a mongoloid.

Sure you fags have updates ACTUALLY disabled? Nothing to do with the service, but set your LTSC install for domain configuration and disable updates all together. It will *NEVER* update itself.
This here isn't even Enterprise LTSC but just Enterprise.

Should i migrate to win 10 from 8.1? From a privacy standpoint mainly, but also from a performance one. My main reason is im having issues setting up mysql...

I've more or less heard the unix philosophy summed up as:
>A program should only do one thing well.
Why shouldn't a program be able to do multiple things? I know that God objects are bad, but does it really apply here?

I don't know where to ask, please redirect me if this is not the place.
the fans in my GPU don't spin. I just upgraded to a new cpu and mobo and moved my gpu and psu over and the fans in the gpu don't spin.
I layed the computer on its side and unscrewed it from the case (it pulls a little to screw it in. and then the fans spun when I booted it up. for a minute then stopped. I can't get that to happen again.
I plugged everything back into my old mobo and the fans don't spin.
using MSI afterburner to try to force them to spin doesn't work, it worked in the past, everything went wrong when I did this upgrade today.
is there any hope for my gpu?
what about psu would the fans stop spinning if the gpu isn't getting enough power? is it maybe the signs of a dying psu?

looks like shitting a monster turd

see

lurk moar where? i've been here 13 years

Here's a stupid question for the thread. Is there any way to see a PSU's current wattage like how on my phone I can see how much my battery has degraded? Since PSUs degrade over time.

Summing it up that much leaves out key details.
A program should do ONE thing and do THAT one thing well.

>Why shouldn't a program be able to do multiple things?
No reason in particular (except the old UNIX systems being memory limited), the UNIX philosophy just concentrates of having a system which each program does one thing and does it well and the combination of these programs is what gives the system. "Comboing" these smaller programs to do bigger and more complex things.

Use keyfinder or something like it to retrieve the windows 10 serial from your computer.

will i still need the disk or usb to reset the PC?

If you mean completely reinstalling the OS then yes.
However, you dont need the original one, you can just make your own by downloading an original iso file and sticking it in your medium of choice (DVD/USB flash drive)

>feed instructions to a machine
You mean like device drivers?

So that's what it's come down to.
Alright, here goes.

Do you still call it "texting" if you're chatting over an OTT messenger like Facebook, Signal, Viber, KakaoTalk, WhatsApp, etc?

I like it but only a lawyer and courts could tell you and even then it isn't the final answer. It's never actually final.
There are other licenses though. MIT, BSD, Apache, etc.
Anyone who wants to use your code will appreciate it if they don't need to run it by a lawyer to check your custom license.

I have a wireless bridge in my house and it's openwrt is on 192.168.1.2 (does not have a dhcp server) and uses relayd to connect to 192.168.1.1

I have a client (192.168.1.153) connected to the one of the 192.168.1.2 ethernet ports

When both routers are restarted, everything works fine. After like 20 hours, I can't connect to the client, and this is what happens when I ping it while being connected to the 192.168.1.2 router

Pinging 192.168.1.153 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.1.2: Destination host unreachable.

This problem is fixed when I reboot the bridge router (192.168.1.2)

does anybody have a clue what might be happening and how a nub like me can fix it?

Is there a cloud service that doesn't claim to own everything you put in it? I'd like to do a bit of writing. I don't have any delusions of being THE NEXT BIG WRITER, but I'd like to own what I write. And I kinda just what that cloud convenience.

I just got a Ryzen 3600.

Every time I try and overclock it. Even by 25MHz the system doesnt boot and just goes straight to the bios saying that it has had to go back to default settings.

Im guessing I will have to wait for Gigabyte to do another bios update before I can overclock the CPU wont I?

Unfortunately yes. You need something to decrypt commercially sold Blu-Rays, before you can play them.

How important is cas latency, realistically? Going by the numbers I imagine 2666 Mhz CL19 is bad but will it really perform badly compared to the same speed at CL17 or 15?

cl19 is p shit, huge lag, only acceptable if the freq was 3800+

Whats the difference between a seedbox and a VPS? Do seedboxes offer any price/performance improvements or legal protections?

What's the easiest way to set up an online document sync so that I can edit a Word document on my phone or my work pc and it will automatically save those changes to original local copy of the document on my home pc? Is this doable with dropbox?

Also, I currently use a Word document as my calendar and delete days as I go so that the current day is always at the top of the document. Is there a better calendar solution that would enable me to somehow retain past dates in Word without arduous copy and pasting? I tried Google Calendars but didn't like the layout/ui.

What's a good desktop to get that is cheap and can do basically anything maybe something under $500

I've been working on a program that makes making gui programs easy, but also high quality. It's gotten to a stage where I want to remake it inside itself.
Is it idiotic making a program that relies on itself to build?

So, DNS-user here, yet again.

My DNS keeps dropping every now and then, with it only being fixable by using the built in Windows "fix problem" button for network.

I have tried changing the USB-wireless dongle twice, I have REINSTALLED Windows 10 from scratch and yesterday the local Internett servicemen was here and reset everything on the router above to my houseowners but said there wasn't any problems found.
What the fuck is the problem?

Sidenote, I have also tried to changing the DNS manually to google and cloudflare(?) without it resolving itself, I am clueless.

Are we allowed to talk about exploits on Jow Forums?

why wouldnt we? What exploits?

This one:
exploit-db.com/exploits/47119
It says, if I am reading this correctly, the exploit allows someone to put a "payload"(shellcode?) into an .mp4 file and exploit android phones. But I didn't know you could put executables or code in media files that can be executed, I was going to ask Jow Forums if you can or not.

seedboxes are preconfigured for torrenting and probably more expensive, it's a convenience thing

>not buying a vps cheaper than a seedbox and configuring it for torrenting
It's almost like you fags enjoy overpaying

Oh, so no real benefit other than convenience. Well, i guess im just getting a VPS and installing Transmission then.

Sweet, thank you.

Not necessarily. If i value my time at $200/hr, I will not spend an hour trying to get something to work if i can simply pay a few extra bucks a month.
