I've been here since 2007 and don't know this kind of stuff. Can you spoonfeed me on where the g in /g/ came from? I would like to be smarterer.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad P15v. The Lenovo Universal Docking Station, which should support it, has 1x HDMI and 2x DisplayPort. Does that mean that a docking station can convert a laptop's video output into a DisplayPort monitor, even though the laptop has only HDMI output on itself?

And a followup question to that, are there any negative consequences if I then use this
>ThinkPad ->(USB-C)-> Docking Station -> one of it's Display Port slots -> (DisplayPort to VGA or DVI adapter) -> monitor's DVI/VGA slot
?

And a followup to the followup question, if I were to convert to VGA or DVI, which of the conversions is worse?

Did anyone else get a blackscreen --> bluescreen loop on start up after updating nvidia drivers around november/december? I also am suspecting the nvidia app replacing geforce experience may be causing it.

I been having the problem for past 2 weeks since, the weird thing is sometimes after 1-3 forced resets it doesn't black screen, also sometimes mashing f8 at bios would work although I dont know why. Only thing I've found that consistently fixes the issue is booting to safe mode and uninstalling the new nvidia drivers.

Is this safe to install or is it a virus?

What is the current recommended video editing software? I need it for cutting scenes out of a movie that is in MKV format, but it would be random 1-2 sec scenes out of several minutes, so not just something that I can do easily with virtualdub.

if so, would installing W10 to that drive *and then* re-downloading a backup of my files be the smarter move?

Actually stupid question about storing HDDs outside of case.

Most modern cases I see have limited space for hard drives, which are still cheapest option for storing large amount of data, which becomes a problem if I would want to have a raid setup for example. Many people right away suggest NAS server but here is a problem - they apparently have to run 24/7, at least according to any article I found when I typed related question to search engine. Since I don't use my PC when I'm outside of home, it would be huge waste of energy - with 30W power consumption (seems to be average for 4 drive NAS), such device would cost me whooping 1/4 of my current yearly electricity bill. To be honest, I don't exactly understand why I can't just have separate box that would turn on and off along with PC. Meanwhile "external HDD bays" at shops are apparently all using USB, which will result in awfully slow access.

I admit I'm stupid in these things. Do I really lack other options?

DVI is always better but it is a clusterfuck of signals because it can be digital or analog so you need the right cable.

Having an issue where torrenting fucks up my PC's internet with no effect on anything else in my house. Tried a bunch of different clients and settings and it always eventually happens and stays off until I turn airplane mode on and off again to restart the internet to get the torrent moving again, and then it repeats like that until the file is finished. The same happens when I try downloading something larger than maybe a gigabyte.

Does anyone know what I could do to diagnose the issue? I'm on a wireless connection on Kubuntu and as I said it doesn't seem to effect anything else in my house so I'd really appreciate some help understanding this because obviously it's very annoying.

You could use a technique from relational databases. To represent a Many-to-Many relationship you might make:
a table of users containing a single column of user names
a table of websites containing a single column of website names
an intermediary/bridge/joining table containing two columns where each column is a column from the two other tables. For example, a row would look like: user_name | website_name
This would allow you to represent as many users on as many websites as you want.
That said, this would be quite annoying to work with using just csv files so maybe not :P

Imagemagick question. I want to delete (make transparent) a portion within a PNG image using only imagemagick. Say, I provide the coordinates and want to turn a boxed region fully alpha.

Schroedinger's Laptop: You forgot your laptop in a damp basement for a few months and find it covered in white mold.

You don't know wether the laptop works. The laptop is therefore both in a state of being broken and being functional at once until you decide to turn it on and realize one of these two states

TLDR What do i do if my laptop got left in extreme humidity (no water damage) and grew mold

>>103849186
>DHCP
Who served it? Your custom access point or your actual router?

>>103851806
Are you sure it has no water damage inside? All the traces and everything in the board are perfectly fine, no corrosion and most importantly nothing there to short anything or ruin any lead?
If you're sure that's all fine, just clean the mold.

>>103851806
Dry it out and turn it on. Water damages electronics in two ways: firstly it causes shorts which can nuke chips. Secondly it causes corrosion in circuitry and breaks connections. The second is more fixable than the first since restoring a broken connection is easier than unnuking a chip.

>What's the go-to protocol for cams in general?
Usually the cameras just speak RTSP and they stream to a web server / NVR which serves them as HLS to browsers. HLS being a complex streaming protocol with adaptable bit rate.

>>103853220
so it's not a physical device like dram right? what do you mean it uses it's same as cpu cache right?

>>103853290
It is a physical device, but it's crammed inside the CPU chip so you don't get to see it.
And RAM can be static or dynamic. They differ in how they achieve the same goal, with static being faster (very important for cache) but also more expensive (which is why cache is much smaller than your usual RAM modules). Dynamic is the other way around, it's slower but it's cheaper so you can have modules with crazy storage capacities.

i've been interested in reverse engineering and i've gotten alright at static analysis but i was wondering how to start learning dynamic analysis? using tools like ollydbg, x64dbg, etc. thx in advance

I have 3 nvidia GPU 3000 series taking dust from projects I abandoned. Any idea how can I use it to make some cash instead of selling ?

>>103853390

Laptop screen is only usable by the laptop, you would need software or a KVM to switch PCs like you seem to want.
Best option is to not use the laptop screen. Just buy a second monitor.

>>103853576
It would be hard to make more in the short to mid term than just selling them second hand, especially when you're presumably paying consumer running costs for anything you're renting out.

with higher end cards you could set up a local chatbot server (or image gen, but you'll probably end up with illegal content and getting vanned) and privately (eg. paypal, cashapp each month for a key rent out the use of a decent model for uncensored use and pick up a decent amount, but its effort to manage and decent amount of manual work and you'd have to find people yourself. probably a decent time to try though given the online options are getting more and more restricted.

>>103853581
Cache is an ultrafast type of volatile memory storage that acts as a buffer between the CPU and the normal RAM modules.
RAM is a category of fast volatile memory storage, used to run stuff while the computer is on. RAM can be either SRAM or DRAM, which differ in construction and speed.
Because of its advantages, SRAM is the type of RAM used for making CPU cache. But that's not it's only use and you can find SRAM IC chips on boards for other stuff, like arduino boards and the like.

The old adage is SRAM works and DRAM doesn't. SRAM stores each bit in a loop of semiconductors which is naturally reinforced by bus power. It's instant access and can even be accessed by multiple devices at the cell level. If the semiconductors naturally retain gate charge like FET types, which is all modern chips, it can retain data for a long time even without power. If you have a small battery to maintain power bus voltage, it retains data basically until the battery self-discharges. Which is often 20 years or more.

DRAM uses nature of FETs to store one bit on one semiconductor gate. Which means it naturally wants to lose data and you need controller logic to periodically refresh each cell. Which means higher latency because every access has to be fenced through the controller, and periods where cells are inaccessible because mandatory timed refreshes.

There's two types of CAD, parametric and non-parametric.
If you're trying to make replacement parts and technical pieces you'd want to learn the former and if you want to do artsy stuff like in your pic you'd want the later.
For parametric CAD I use FreeCAD but I'm the first to admit I only do so because SolidWorks is too expensive. TinkerCAD is very basic and limited, I wouldn't bother wasting time learning it, you'll grow out of it too quickly if you serious about this. If you're in college there's student version of AutoDesk crap (Fusion and AutoCAD) you can check out but I'd rather have FreeCAD over those. OnShape is another one some people use but it's browser based.
For non-parametric I can't really say much as I don't do that, but some people I know use Blender or 3D scanning of IRL stuff and just make copies of that.

>>103859500
Heap and stack are data structures. If you code them you won't forget what they are. Batch and paradigm are just highschool level words without concise technical definitions.

databases noob here.
is there a way to predict total tuples that would be lost/generated if we were to perform n iterations of lossy decomposition on a relation, with an iteration of lossy decomposition involving a decomposition & join op'n? Does the amount depend on the way in which the decomposition happened(total relations a given relation was decomposed to in each iteration, the kind of partioning attribute- i.e the common attribute that I will inadvertently use when performing joins,)?
Consider the examples relations below:
STUDENT(primary key(rollno), name)
tuples of STUDENT:(1011,john)(1012,mark)(1013,bob)

FACULTY(primary key(facultyid),facultyname)
tuples of FACULTY:
(728,henry);(729,stefan);(730,mary)

COURSE(primary key(coursecode),coursename, credits)
tuples of COURSE:
(c133,database,4);(c134,c programming,3);(c135,system design,3)

ENROLLS(primary key(rollno,coursecode,session),facultyid)
tuples of ENROLLS:
(1011,c133,728,jan 2020);(1012,c133,729,jan 2020);(1013,c133,729,jan 2020);
(1011,c134,729,jan 2020);(1012,c134,729,jan 2020);(1013,c134,730,jan 2020)

Performing lossy decomposition on ENROLLS by splitting ENROLLS into STUDENT_COURSE(rollno,coursecode) and FACULTY_COURSE(facultuid,coursecode) and then joining them, we end up with double the amount of tuples.

>>103861561
USB-C is less durable than USB-A by a huge amount, the only pro about it is the extra signal and power cables.
Mouse/Keyboard, USBs, Audio, etc moves 1MB/s tops of data and use less than 1A, more than enough, there is no reason to change other than promote planned obsolecense.

USB-C is also a failed standard since outside the port shape there is no standard that everyone needs to follow.

So i gave my old desktop gaming pc to my girlfriend, switching out her SSD from her lenovo laptop to the gaming PC since it didnt have any storage in it. It's been working fine, but now she wants to update to windows 11. Will this possibly brick something since it thinks its in a laptop?

Sounds like you don't know what installers do. Pick the "partition manually" option and install to whatever already existing NTFS partition - nuking the old install, if any. Or do a fresh install effectively wiping a partition.

To create and log into a Telegram account, you need a phone number and a verification SMS sent to that number, and you use those two things to log in, right? In which case, there's no point in trying to make an account with a public temporary phone number, since the verification code and the number are gonna be visible to the public, so the account is guaranteed to get hijacked, right?

Any reason not to use my own real number with this shit? Maybe I'm just being autistic.

the licence is attached to the motherboard, so since the OS now runs on a different motherboard, that could cause issues with licence activation. in general, things can go wrong during upgrades so you should have a backup before doing it regardless.

>she wants to update to windows 11
why? is there an actual need?
in any case, the best thing to do is a fresh install of either LTSC IoT 2021, or if she really wants 11, LTSC IoT 2024. >>>/g/fwt/ has the details.

>>103863031
>>103863243

>>103863304
She's just more used to w11 since it's what is being used at her work. But she mainly uses it to play games so i suppose there's not really a need to "upgrade".

There's a bunch of annoying shit that was tied to her laptop though (lenovo stuff and for some reason she gets a bunch of pin-code prompts for stuff she didn't used to get prompts for). Maybe it's best to just do a fresh install like you say

>>103863350

Yep. Win likes to update at the time of those updates sometimes break dual boot, grub screen or generally lock you out of one of the OS (sometimes it even locks you out of itself, it's kind of funny when it isn't happening to you).
You want dual drive dual boot and make sure to put the grub screen on the linux drive, not with windows. If you want to save on cost, and your current SSD has plenty of space left, get a smaller SSD just for linux OS and other system stuff and use the win SSD for general storage (all my music, pics, books and stuff like that are on the windows SSD, I can access it just fine with linux).

for your own good and comfort just get a second drive

>>103867002
No if you ask me. But I'm a wizard and can manage picrel.

You can convert notebooks to a .py file via the command line so I guess do that into a temp directory and run it

>>103867002
Yes

>>103867647
%run seems to work too. Google that

>>103863645
I guess see if there's any linux distros available. You could probably make it into a server or something, idk.

why

you can use firefox containers.
There's even a way to set temp containers.
I'm not following you though.
You're using a common laptop? in that case just use portable version of firefox on your usb, or better yet boot live USB

Anyone got the terry clip where he laments living off the charity of children?

How do I fix this shit in Windows 10?
I assume there's a registry key.

This is not a question, I just have something random to say to no-one.

Jesus fuck, that was the reason? I've switched computers now but I recognize that shit. Thought my install or drives were shit or dying.

Still the only browser worth using.

What is a decent, free OCR software I could use for pdf text extraction?

>>103868656
>that was the reason?
I'm asking for the reason, anon!!!!! It just appears to be more of an issue the less I restart.
I hate it.

I need more space anyway, so I will be buying another SSD
So then, do I have to use the firmware's boot manager to simply select which drive I want to boot from, or can a single instance of systemd-boot or grub2 boot from either drive?

>>103868047
tried IconSpacing within HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics ?

>>103869075
I set the linux drive to be the priority boot option in the BIOS, then installed it with the grub screen on that drive. Whenever I boot up the PC I'm taken to the grub screen and can select what OS I want.
It was an standard install on a fresh SSD, I just took the time to unplug the old SSD so linux wouldn't touch it and to ensure the grub screen was on the new SSD. You can do the same via software if you want, I just like the certainty of unplugging things.

>>103869822
So the grub on the "Linux SSD" automatically detects Windows on the other drive?

>>103869923
Yeah.
