Tell me if i understood correctly how it works:
>create registry key that is child of Steam\Apps
>link the key to Windows Installer
>after that, relink it to program of choice
>now you can run your program with the highest privileges

Am i getting it right?

Spicy candy.
And not much else, is well beyond cucked now

Oh changing out the switches would require soldering. I thought it would be a simpler task.
I guess I'm trying o-rings first.

I made a python script on my windows machine but it needs to run on other machines, which would include macs as well.
1) if I make the script an executable it will run on any machine, correct?
2) what do I make for the macs? I know they can't run .exe's

Don't do anything for iShit.

Learn excel shit like pivot tables, vlookup, and macros. Those are skills every major company needs but people rarely have, even the younger employees.

not really an option

Yes

What's an SCCM package? Is it easy to install?

How can I activate/install Internet Explorer on LTSC?

someone help me please. i've got a modem (virgin media superhub), it has two settings; modem-mode and router-mode. i use modem-mode because it turns off wifi and i'm a schizo over wifi. problem is that only 1 device can be connected via ethernet at a time on modem-mode.

what can i do or buy to connect more devices at a time. some sort of external router or something?

When I go to a popular site, I get a redirect that adds "g00/?i10c.encReferrer=" on to the URL, and it breaks the page.

Is this malware injected into the site, or malware on my machine that I need to fix? Should I be worried?

Where can I get that laptop?

If laptop has screen turned off, and it's plugged to monitor, it should save a lot of power ergo battery life, no?

Does this happen on every browser?
If not, have you tried a clean profile without extensions?

Repeating this question since it was not answered in the last thread: for those who passed the A+ certification, should I go with Meyer's All in One or Exam Cram?

I just checked, it's only on my main browser (Chromium), even in an incognito window. It doesn't happen on Chrome or Edge

create a new profile and check if it still happens.
if not then some extension might have been installed without your knowledge.
Go through your extension list and look for anything suspicious.

How do I clean my computer screen without scratching it?
Will the cloth that comes with spectacles suffice?

Thanks, but I already have both ublock and ublock extra.
And here's something really strange. If I disable ublock extra, I no longer have the issue. Without ublock extra, the redirects go.

What the hell is going on? I've never had an issue with ublock extra. In case you're curious on the site, it's just uk.ign.com (i know i know, don't give me shit)

Is getting a A+ cert a good idea for someone who is 35 years old with no IT experience to get a career in IT? Or can I skip it and get a Cisco cert?

In MS Word 365, how do I disable typing over text when I want to add some new text in between two old words? It wasn't like this yesterday. They're making this program worse every day I swear!

Did you enable overtype mode by accident? Try pressing your insert key above your delete key to switch it back.

It's a decade-old Rilakkuma netbook, so I imagine Yahoo Auctions would be the best place to check

What's the difference if you watch a movie with 5.1 audio with headphones vs 2.0 audio? Which one sounds better?

Flush DNS, try using Google/Cloudflare DNS

Your video player should automatically combine the channels to stereo.
The actual stereo line should be better if it was made by the movie creators, since they selectively can merge the channels as needed compared to just mashing them together like the player does.

i won't fall for your tricks

How do you have a phone without play? What OS is it running?

How do I know if it was made by creators or not, it just 2 torrents of the same movie one has 5.1 the other has 2.0 both flac

>How do I know if it was made by creators or not
If it's on the DVD/BluRay, then it probably is.

>it just 2 torrents
Then you'll never know.

My mother recently began to travel to Morocco, France, and other countries due to work. She has to occasionally call my grandmother to check in on her, but finds that this is very expensive on her phone plan. Are there currently any apps like Skype that offer free calls to landlines from other countries? Or would you have to buy credit or things like travel cards or whatever? What would the cheapest/most convenient way be? She uses a Samsung S7 if that matters.

How do I uninstall all the spyware features on windows 10

tell her to set your grandmother with a whatsapp. it is very easy to use, so easy that it is associated with a phone number. set your grandma up with a dataplan and you're good to go.

What's a good rotating monitor stand?

My grandmother is technically illiterate, she's 84 and can't even use one of those smartphones especially made for the elderly.

i am pretty sure there is dumbphone style smartphones that function as whatsapp machines.
something like this:

and just saying, my grandparents are +90 and are capable of using dumbphones so this shouldn't be a big deal.

is there much of a difference between pci and usb wifi adapters? i've got a new build but because its mATX the card placement might sufficate the GPU fans.
should i go without?

Android is open source, I've been running lineage on it.
Gapps has to be installed separately when flashing your OS, the reason why android phones come with it is because Google makes companies ship their phones with it.

T-thanks guys....

Many apps require google apps as a dependency, but your bigger problem is that most banking and payment apps require a phone that is not currently rooted, and has not had the bootloader unlocked. So that's probably where you're screwed.

if you want to get into networking, i imagine a cisco cert means a lot more than an A+ one

Nope it's literally just Gapps.
I've gotten it running by flashing it, I needed to use it and was forced to fix it today.
That's why I'm trying to find a better solution which bypasses Gapps.

Would I be able to get a job right out the back though with the cisco cert? I have no work experience.

Nah she's legit borderline retarded and doesn't even have internet nor would she ever pay for it unfortunately.

>I have no work experience.
i hope you're really fucking good at interviews, then

Not really. So then I should just get the A+ and get the work experience then.

might be a good idea
besides, if you think A+ will teach you something, then you probably do need it because doing anything IT-related

>probably do need it because
before*

Yeah, like I said, dependency. They can rely on google for a lot of things. Syncing, account verification, making sure your device hasn't been modded outside of approved spec, etc. In short, no google, no fly. You can try messing around with microG, but I'm pretty sure that's outside of its purview, and it may not play nice with lineage anyway.

Yea, I don't know much. Just basic shit anything won't probably be able to do. I would help fix my warehouses computer issues like broken cables and shit.

Lets say i had a LGV405UA (verizon lgv40) and wanted to change the firmware. Could I get the firmware from a LGV405QA and install it on my LGV405UA?

I bought an X220 and do a lot of video editing. Is it worth switching to linux? Are the video editors up to par with premiere?

Nope. AV editing still sucks shit on Linux.

I have my music and pictures split on 2 HDDs, I want to consolidate them to 1 but I don't have enough space on either to accomidate them (they are old).
Am I better off grabbing a 2TB external drive or swapping them 1 at a time to a new internal since I am lacking on SATA drives?
Also what's the best brand for HDD now?

Need laptop for a linux. Pinebook or used thinkpad x230? Already have a desktop so a laptop would be just extra

How do I stop VLC from showing video's name at the start of video?

Preferences -> Subtitles/OSD -> Show media title on video start

but lwks and davinci resolve are all professional tools available on linux.

If a Visual Basic application is linking up with an access database, does the PC runing the application need an office/access installed and licensed?

Unironically retarded question.
Are there drivers for Linux distros?

>Read Mike Meyers 1500 page CompTiA A+ book
>Still cannot tell if IT is for me or not

It depends on how the VB application is connecting to it.
If it is using OLEDB then no, but the ACE driver might need to be installed.

It's quite simple, do you enjoy tinkering with computers and applications?
If not, then it's not for you.

Cheers senpai.

I'm trying to connect my speakers with bare wire to my Pioneer receiver/amp, which has spring clip terminals, but every time I put them in the sound from the speakers is bassboosted and very distorted. I put the +/- cables where they should be but it's still not working. pls help

Try adding some resistance to the wire like a rheostat or something.

I've always wanted to cut the plug from some broken headphones and plug it in the back of a PC so it doesn't make a sound.

I mean I’ve always enjoyed building computers and tinkering about with them but that’s about as far as it goes. I do get a bit of satisfaction out of fixing my families shit

That's how I fixed the constant buzzing of the speakers from one of my monitors.

Are if statements considered logic operations? If not, how do I classify them?
