Last night, I ran an update using WSUS. Now I'm stuck in a boot loop where this and the bios screen endlessly alternate. What do I do? The F8 trick won't work, probably because I disabled a bunch of stuff for a faster boot. I also don't have my original install disc, I wiped that stick for something else.

I'm currently running a Cisco USB Wi-Fi stick and it's always disconnected every time I boot up, forcing me to reconnect it. Would getting an internal card with better drivers help? What are some good Wi-Fi cards for a desktop running Linux Mint?
The one I used for EPUBs was a freemium one, Ice Cream Ebook Reader. I can't say whether or not you'll like it, but I got used to it.

How do you buy cryptocurrency with prepaid cards? The Paxful exchange looks like it accepts them but with how everything's been going so far I'm expecting Binance to block them.

I got a new monitor but under dxdiag its showing as Microsoft Basic Display Adapter and not allowing me to change the refresh rate or raise above 1080p

What do

I've got a subwoofer that plugs into the audio jack, then the R/L speakers through another jack on the back of that.
The speakers are working fine (if quiet, since they're designed to work with the volume slider on the sub), but when plugged through the sub the right doesn't play. I unplugged them to test the sub, and found that it isn't picking it up (i.e. the problem is between the connection to the PC and the sub itself).

How do I into testing the connections in the wires and/or jacks on the inside?

The right channel, that is.

I'm having an issue doing headless ssh into my raspi 3. It's connected to my wifi network, which my laptop is also connected to, and has ssh enabled. I'm able to ssh into it and get a password prompt with ssh [email protected] but I type raspberry(supposedly the default raspian password) and I'm denied access. Did something about the password change? I checked the website and there was nothing about it. What's wrong?

I'm using fish shell, everything is working great on my desktop, but when I ssh in to my server it starts displaying garbage after every command when I use fish.

Using ohmyfish but it still happens without it, I updated the shell from the version (2.7.1) that came default with Ubuntu 18.04 to a PPA version (3.0.1) but the problem persists.

The garbage is something like
$
Happens when starting the shell and after every command.

It doesn't seem to matter which theme I've chosen, but themes don't have their colours applied, unlike in zsh. Everything works locally.

Any ideas?

fuck, figured it out sorry for wasting your time reading this everyone. It was because my shell was zsh and i was adding fish inside of it. changing shell to /usr/bin/fish and logging in to it directly fixed it.

Have a Sharo to make up for reading my garbage

you are supposed to extract the iso, not put the iso file itself onto the USB.

If I open it, and copy paste the ISO's content... That would be too easy. Correct?

I guess so. I always use Rufus

>Rufus
Aha. I'm on a Mac. This software is Win only, right?

UEFI/GPT just copying the files is enough.
For legacy MBR systems you need to set a bootable flag.

They are 4 pin, they will be audio only if plugged into the audio port and (I think) mic only when plugged into the mic port.
Unless your PC also has a 4pin input where they will be both.

pls respond

Is there anything actually wrong with installing programs outside Program Files?

What's a good VPN nowadays? Any cheap(3$ a month or so) VPS services that will work fine as self set up VPN?

backing up appdata's (roaming and local) mozilla folder should let me also save the currently open tabs in my firefox right?

I finally got an interview offer for an IT Tech job and it seems I'll be doing something called HireVue (I answer questions in front of a camera) and then an in-person interview. Does anyone know any good resources for brushing up on stuff related to networking, Linux, and Windows, or just IT in general?
I've had Private Internet Access for about six months now, and it's been a good experience. I chose the two-year plan and it's about $2.91 a month.

My F310's left stick wasn't fully registering the distance from the center in xpadder, this is only really an issue in old PS2 games, so I took it apart and tested and the distance showed at 100%. Then I put it back together and the distance dropped. I have a feeling that (probably from DMC3) I pushed the left stick further than it's supposed to go at some point and it now detects it as not fully pushed to one side. I tested the same with my right stick and now that one's fucked as well. Tried calibrating and reinstalling drivers but nothing seems to work, any advice?

Basically without the case in the way the sticks can be pushed further, and windows seems to save this somewhere. This "distance" should be at 100, and it was at 96 earlier before taking it apart.

Ok so I have an array of 3 unsigned ints, masquearading as a 24-bit two's complement value

How do I turn it into an int without MISRA-C warnings?

I'm doing something like this

uint8_t byteArray[3]; // let's say these 3 bytes hold a 24-bit value in 2's complement format
uint32_t unsignedValue;
int32_t signedValue;

unsignedValue = byteArray[0];
unsignedValue |= byteArray[1]

Only if you want wrongly flashed cards or hacked together ones from different spare parts.

The big question is, what do you need the GPU for?

You can buy splitters, that split combo 3.5mm into mic and headphone channels.

I know i can check how much voltage a charger is giving, but can i check how much Amps is it using while plugged in a laptop?

also have a 144hz monitor, so maybe something to take advantage of that for shitty games

Nvm dont need it

I just got an RX 580 today, I haven't actually tried many games yet. From youtube videos I saw it was getting 75fps on new more demanding games with ultra settings. I have a 144hz monitor too, I bet you could make a lot of games work to run at 144 consistently.
