missing a semicolon after your struct definition

thx beutifully

So... I heard that there is an attack that can be used against encrypted file systems: if there is a known file inside it, this increases the chance of the key being discovered.
I also heard that files can be crafted so that the process is made easier; not instant, but maybe feasible.
So, what security is there in an OS installation (Google knows which one you are using) and its trillion known files?

I want to nakadashi Rakka

A technical break of cryptosystem is when you need less effort than brute force.
Eg: If you should have 200-bits of security, but some technical break means that only 199-bits of effort is needed.
199-bits is still a practically impossible amount of effort.

In conclusion: Need details to figure whether this attach means anything at all.

Is there any anime girl that you wouldn't want to nakadashi?

I need a program for Windows that will start on boot up and ring a small alarm every 30 minutes, and nothing more

so write one?
i mean, if you can't write something like that, why do you even have a computer?

>why do you even have a car if you don't know how to make your own aftermarket parts

more like, if you can't drive, why do you have a car? (as opposed to hoping your friend can drive you somewhere)

Even if I have a car sometimes I'd rather not go through the effort of navigating a convoluted place I'll only visit once, finding parking, etc.

why doesn't linux install programs to one directory like a normal system but instead spreads shit everywhere so you can't install them on a separate partition like everyone does in windows to not have to redownload everything if your system fails and you have to format the partition and reinstall system? or you can't remove shit like a normal human being by deleting one folder leftovers but instead you have stuff spread in a six gorillion places
and people say leftover windows registry entries are bad

>so you can't install them on a separate partition like everyone does in windows
this has never been something people need to do with linux
and even then, large components like game data files can be put somewhere else if needed
> to not have to redownload everything if your system fails and you have to format the partition and reinstall system?
keep your package cache
> or you can't remove shit like a normal human being by deleting one folder leftovers but instead you have stuff spread in a six gorillion places
use your package manager

58mm is a normal lens for 35mm, only way it'd be a telephoto is if you connected it to a 1/3" sensor

If you install from the source code, then pretty much everything will be in the “build” folder. It’s why I never download software from the manager anymore.

Servers that you rent are as safe as servers you own as long as you have your security protocols up to date, right? Or it is better to have your servers physically accessible?

Why is it so hard to deal with window managers instead of desktop environments? File associations to programs are a pain in the ass to setup. GUI functionality bugs out. File associations are mixed between web browser and file browser. Can't open desktop files through the terminal naturally, have to install some random package or use a GUI file browser.

What the fuck is up with it? It was working fine for a few days.
The only thing that changed in between was that I have the PS3 standing vertical and had left a couple of game cases over the top vent. Every time I tried to load it it would just stop spinning, the screen would go black, and the PS button wouldn't work. But once I'd noticed my error and removed them it loaded fine again.
So just to repeat myself what the fuck is up with it? Is it memed permanently?

You're counting to F instead of 9.

16 is a multiple of 2 so converting between base 2 and base 16 is super clean. Just think of base 16 as a base 2 shorthand (that's all people use it as, anyways).

thats why you don't invest your entire wallet into btc, only like 100$ and then wait months, years to make more out of it

Does 60fps have less tearing on 120hz+ than on a 60hz panel?

I haven't used a webcam since I used to go on MSN, but I never had any problems with my based Logitech. I can only assume the quality has improved since. You should easily be able to pick one up for less than $50. I think I paid 25GBP for the one I'm talking about and that was about 15 years ago.

tearing can happen at framerate if the frames arent in sync

You might have throttling going on with your CPU/GPU.

I got a Hitachi Ultrastar 7k3000 in new condition for $30, just had a question.

The drive itself is new usage wise, but old in the sense that it's from 2012.

Will this drive work well even if it's old, and is it true that Hitachi made really good drives?

I've hooked up my Mac Book to a monitor but it looks like shit in comparison. A lot of the text is either jaggy or blurred. It's through Thunderbolt 2 to HDMI and I've tried other monitors with VGA which look fine.

No-one has been able to answer this question.

>mfw I have a Hitachi Deskstar from 2005 right here and it's been working well for the last 14 years

>plugging in the power cable to my laptop results in a weird sound and then power cutting itself off
Laptop isn't booting, what issue could this be?

I have bad WiFi signal in my room and although it seems to be fast on speedtest or when downloading torrents, it actually has lagspikes and packet loss which is shit for gaming and voice chat.

It's not my connection, on Ethernet or in other rooms it's really solid.

I can't get Ethernet in my room, so I'm torn between buying an 80€ wifi mesh kit from TP-Link or an 120€ powerline adapter from Devolo.
I know powerlines are hit and miss but Devolo actually goes over the ground wire so it "just works" I mean they call their product 'magic'.
Are wifi meshes any good for latency? It's cheaper

Is there a brainlet guide anywhere for Ubuntu? I don't have a fucking clue how to use these terminals or anything. Whenever I use them I have to hope someone has written out what I need and I can just copy and paste it.

Can you use smartphone functions without a smartphone, while maintaining the same level of user friendliness? Like, what would you use for these things:

- Taking notes (with easy way to backup data)

- SSH/VNC-ing into home PC (without lugging around a laptop)
- Etc

Basically trying to figure out how to replace my smartphone as much as possible, without losing too much convenience.

Question:
Can someone point me towards something explaining how to send calls to different PC components (fans, ram, gpu), on WINDOWS

Im trying to write a tool that would allow me to control PC component RGBs from different manufacturers (corsair fans, which are connected through commander pro, vengence ram, and msi gpu). So far, using iCue SDK I managed to change colors of ram and fans without iCue running in the background, however I have read that it is possible to send commands directly to those components through motherboard calls, which in my case would be cleaner. Didn't yet manage to get to the gpu.
Ultimately I want to have command line controls for my precious RGBs and possibly temps and other stats of sick rig that I have built to compensate for my small penis.

PC spec:
-MB: Aorus x570 pro
-GPU: RTX2070S
-FANS: Corsair ML PRO RGB

Are there any good mutli-function printers (preferably monochrome laser) that are relatively cheap? I've got an HP Officejet Pro 8710 (not my choice, what I have available to me) that I'm about to chuck through a third story window because HP's "Scan to Network Folder" function is broken as fuck. Do any MFP manufacturers have good support for SMBv3 and accounts with passwords? Because it seems like even though you can enable SMBv3 with this printer, it isn't really supported.

I'm just used to working with Kyocera business copiers where you plug in the settings and it just fucking works. Why is HP so fucking imcompetent?

Maybe you have to install a font that has the emoticons. If that is Windows Explorer, copy and paste something from Japanese Wikipedia as a file name. If the name sticks, then you do not have a font with the emoticons.
Otherwise, you might be missing Japanese fonts too. I don't remember how fonts are in Windows 7, but I believe even XP supports Unicode out of the box.

I swear by my trusty Logitech M90 wired mouse. Years of use, and it refuses to die.

The future.
