They're largely superfluous anyway. Most things have surge protection built in for the last 20 years or so. Protection from outside surges is better accomplished at the service entrance with a whole house surge protector because it has access to the fattest wires.

You can't easily prove existing code is safe, so you'd need to rewrite a lot of code anyway
Rust is basically C++ but with safety and nicer syntax, so if you're gonna rewrite your code or write it from scratch, might as well use it. Maybe like a decade ago an argument would've been an immature library/tooling ecosystem but nowadays this is no longer a concern either

Do 16 and 24bit ADCs capture the same signal, just with the latter having less quantisation? If I understand it, the sampling process captures the signal the same regardless of bit depth and the bit depth just affects the quantisation strength and therefore noise.

i haven't been able to save images off of gelbooru at all lately.
i usually save by method of dragging and dropping the image into a folder. this results in a broken image. i inspected these files with a hex editor. they're HTML documents.
this is confusing because i usually click directly into the original image. i'm saving it from its source address.
the conventional method of saving, right-click > save as..., results in failed downloads. i have to open the download panel and click the retry button until it works.

this is all also replicatable in private browsing mode. so i have to ask

1) what the fuck?
2) how do you even begin to troubleshoot this bullshit?
3) why is it only gelbooru

everything works fine in chrome, but that browser is malware garbage nothing is ever going to get me to use it.

unless you find the right microsoft employee you're not going to get a concrete answer. but the main visible differences are that it lists the pc on your microsoft account page and uses your microsoft account email for logins and file permissions. i'd assume it also ties system telemetry to it, which again nobody knows exactly how much they're collecting or what.

>>108223126
because you said please. keep in mind this is for a normal account. for local, if there is no internet access I assume it's fine but don't quote me. don't know why you wouldn't go for w10 or even older at that point
where to start with 11, it's textbook enshittification in every aspect, UI/UX, bloat, instability, probably more but let's not forget privacy. even dicking around in the settings and making sure every setting is how you want it, there are still plenty of background processes that send data their way

it's firefox. every problem happens just the same in private browsing, with ublock and all my userscripts turned off. it's incredibly intermittent too. sometimes every image i drag and drop is corrupted, sometimes it's just a few. this has led to me bulk saving junk corrupted images without realizing and it's just getting annoying.

it happened with this image just now https://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=13507391&tags=hatsune_miku

again i have a script that lets me click the image and it just replaces the current url with the image i clicked, so i'm actually saving it from: https://img2.gelbooru.com/images/7a/45/7a45fa1d347eda59b8b4abbab686a35b.jpg
by dragging and dropping it into a folder

this is the same as clicking the original image link on the left. it happens there too. so i guess it's not my script

Is there a way to reduce your fans rev up? Every 2m40s my CPU (7800x3d) temp will spike and the fans rev up before returning back to normal. Every single time guaranteed. Doesn't matter what's happening in game the temps can be 50c or less idle, but every 2m40s it will spike to 70c cause the fans to spin loud.
The fact it's happening on a fixed interval must mean it's a setting you can change right? I'd rather the fans run constantly than think the game's about to crash because the fans are going crazy..

Are all the AI predictions fear mongering?
I use AI weekly and have noticed rapid improvements in the past months/years, but theres always a barrier I feel like it cant cross. It still makes insane mistakes and looks nowhere near as natural as a human, but then again I look at the predictions, podcast etc and they all say that all jobs will be run by AI by 2030, but how close are we actually? Also can we really just "scale it up" because there for sure are limits to how far that can go.
>>
>>108224135
It's just narrative cover for outsourcing. AI won't make any fundamental improvements until millennials start to retire. It's a field that moves forward one death at a time like clockwork since the 40s and probably before then.
>>
>>108224135
Depends on what your goal of the future is, if AI gets as good as its getting why bother bring in all these immigrants? At that point having a declining birthrate but AI helping less humans do more within 8 hours a day, or even have AI do stuff like warehouse work 24/7 it will just make everyone's quality of life better.
The problem is politicians, old modes of economic activity, and such (all of the meme reasons you see in media) have a vested interest in pushing it forward or handicapping it.
I wouldn't worry about AI and mainly a lot of the people losing their jobs or freaking out about losing their job come in two camps:
>financially irresponsible retards who didn't save and kept chasing the hedonic treadmill as their income expanded
>people who have children or young children that you should actually feel bad for, regardless of their saving habits
But if you aren't saving now for either an eventual layoff or for education to retrain into something else, you are building your own house of cards.

The end user is not supposed to use Windows CMD. Looking at that wiki page, it looks like it supports over half a dozen shells.
>There's no out-of-the-box support for Windows CMD when it comes to custom prompts. There is however a way...
You should read this as "Posh doesn't support CMD". Go find something else built for CMD. Hint, there's probably not a lot of it, because CMD is fucking garbage and almost nobody uses it seriously.
But hey, if you really want to, there's actual instructions on a way you can still get it to work. I don't see why you're complaining: the thing you want to use isn't compatible, but instead of telling you "go write your own framework if you want to support your shitty shell nobody uses", they found a workaround to make it work anyway.

If you want an experience that works out of the box and where the dev actually thought about the end user's perspective, just use any of the other eight (8) options which are not explicitly marked with "there is no support".

Learn by doing. For practical stuff that means making stuff, doing projects, etc. Even if the course is not structured with project and you're expected to just memorise for some reason, for your own sake you should set up a dev environment and try out the things you're learning. Programming is a craft, if you were learning woodworking you wouldn't just stare at a book. Get your tools out and at minimum try out the subject of the lesson, ideally if you really want to learn you should experiment with stuff and try out some related things ("what if I do it this way?", "can I extend or configure this to do that as well?", etc.)

For any more theoretical courses like maths, logic, etc. learning by doing means doing exercises and ideally also trying to play around with the various concepts. If I can prove this under this condition, what happens if I change the condition? If this logic formula can be reduced this way, what if I change it a bit, does it still work now? Etc.

>how many hours a day
Honestly I have no idea, but my advice would be to start off working hard and see how far you get in the material. If it's easy and you're bored you can always slack off later, but if you start off ignoring lectures and procrastinating the months away and then you suddenly find out the material is too hard to cram before the exam then you'll be a bit screwed.
First year doesn't really matter much as long as you don't drop out though.
>>
>>108227575
there are like half a dozen different degrees "in computing" you'd need to be more specific. if it's software development/computer engineering/computer science the best way to study is usually to actually make programs and run them.

if this is more some kind of IT thing, you should honestly consider certification instead, at least in the US most employers don't give a shit about anything but certs and experience.

Hey anons, in C++, I used in some older code an uint (just so to not type
unsigned int
everywhere) guard at the very beginning of a header file (actually just a main) that ran fine as then:
#ifndef uint
#define uint unsigned int
#endif // uint

#include <unordered_map>
#include <string>
#include <stdio.h>
...

But that was on a Windows PC. After trying it again, now on a Linux one, that guard conflicts with C++'s own files. If I move the
#ifndef
block to after the includes, it compiles without issues.
Would this be compiler related? I don't remember which one I used with Windows back then, however it likely was that one bundled with MinGW.
Any clues as to why that may actualy be happening? Much appreciated at any rate.

Why is font size so non-standardized in websites? Some websites I have to zoom to 120% to get the perfect size, while others I have to unzoom
>>
>>108230997
Because it's down to individual aesthetic design and sometimes web designers are retarded.
There is a standard text size, and a standard font, but there are plenty of ways to override it - ostensibly for special content or specific designs - and nowadays it is absolutely normal for every website to ignore the defaults completely and just specify its own values for literally everything, thus making the standards effectively useless. There's no way to enforce it since there ARE genuine reasons to override the size for various UI elements etc., and when the functionality exists there's no way to police websites and prevent them from abusing it to make the main content ugly.

>how does this even work?

possibly it'd be anti-T&C
but it might be easy to get away with without getting banned
make it not look obvious that it's dummy, and maybe make the friend not buy it instantly so it doesn't get flagged but wait a bit (if it's not something particularly desirable and you set the price reasonably high then nobody will buy it)
technically it would be fraud (illegal) but you're not going to court for $5 even if caught. however also consider whether the hassle is worth the $5 saved.

Is Chromium good? Does it have Ublock origin like it does on Firefucks?
>>
>>108235356
If you buy a pre-build NAS with its own firmware, like Synology, then it depends on the built-in firmware/OS. If you build your own running linux then it's literally just a computer and you can configure it however you want.
A pair of RAID1s would work and be simple enough. Main disadvantage is that you'd have partitioned storage, but you can set up LVM on top of it to merge both into 12TB of contiguous usable space.

Also remember muh RAID isn't a backup. You can always do something like 8+4 under LVM as 12TB of storage, and then 8+4 as backup disks that are unmounted except for periodic backup operations.

depends on what you mean by good. i use ungoogled chromium via chrlauncher for updates as a backup for when firefox has issues and it's adequate.

>Does it have Ublock origin like it does on Firefucks?
base chromium, no. it has ublock origin lite, which is a dumbed down version. google deliberately gimped functions ubo uses and now the lite version is the best you can do. some browsers that are based on chromium either continue to support old mv2 extensions and those still work with ubo but it's unclear how sustainable this is in the long-term.

I did that for a couple of years. My main takeaways were that almost everything can be done on a computer, EXCEPT:
>maps (at least offline)
>live botnet maps (traffic updates for driving, closing times of nearby establishments, etc.)
>ridesharing (i.e. Uber, Lyft)
Taking out your laptop to check a map is massively painful, and Uber/Lyft basically don't work except using the app. So if you're travelling, it's a major handicap.

And the other thing is that SMS is annoying to type with a T9 keyboard, and also some of the shitter dumbphones still have limitations from 1995 like storing a maximum of 200 text messages in your history, having a maximum of 100 contacts, etc.

If you're fine with typing on a T9 and you don't travel much then it's great. Having an older shitty android is still useful for taking with you on travels at least, to avoid having to lug around a laptop if you don't need it, and to be able to look things up on the go while travelling.
You can also stock up on a compact ereader and a small chink music player if you like those things.

It's possible to get self-contained satnavs btw, but they generally suck and are more expensive and clunkier than an android running lineage/graphene and using osmand or organic maps.

i use ungoogled chromium + chrlauncher https://github.com/henrypp/chrlauncher which handles the update process as ungoogled disables auto-updates entirely

as for tiworker that's the trusted installer which is a privileged windows service/account that handles installing some things. usually it's triggered by background updates. if you're not on windows home, you can use gpedit to configure windows updates how you want, one of the options lets you set it to notify before downloading or installing updates. it would still kick in on its own if for example you plugged in a new device that needed driver software, though.

Vlans segregate the network so you don't put unnecessary stress on your machines, to keep your IP pool working, and for segmentation that can make managing the devices easier.
You can inspect the packets with packet captures.
Labeling ports is important because it tells the switch what it'll do and what it won't. Trunk ports communicate switches between each other, access ports communicate end-user devices.
In the end, it's all about keeping things clean.

this is my field and yes, it is mostly cert-based. employers generally want relevant certs and relevant experience. if you lack one, get the other, ideally have both. a+ will get you entry level helpdesk stuff. i actually have a lot of experience but i'm just now getting my a+ because it's a situation where if you don't have it your resume just gets filtered out by ACS and not even looked at.

some employers will pay for certs so if you can keep looking while you're studying, try to get your foot in the door. put on your resume that you're pursuing it, that'll help get you past acs at least.

i have about ten years of relevant experience and my salary target is about $56k. i'm based out of michigan where cost of living is slightly below average for the us, if you live in a different state you'd need to adjust accordingly and if you live outside the states my salary figures probably won't be meaningful because there are too many variables. suffice it to say, entry level it helpdesk work is sufficient if you are single and at least reasonably frugal, but if you have expensive hobbies or a family you will want to advance to something higher.

you'd probably want to do entry level stuff to get a bit of experience on your resume and maybe have the employer pay for certs, then work your way up. a+ is the obvious starter, beyond that there's more debate. on the comptia track, a+ and security+ are next in that order, server+ might be useful, they have a few others you can look at too. for network admin work, ccna is useful for anything cisco and cisco shit is very widely used. for active directory/windows admin, take a look at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/certifications/windows-server-hybrid-administrator/ which afaik is the only windows server/adds cert that still covers on-prem after they've transitioned all their certs to cloud. for linux, i'm not sure, maybe something from redhat? i'm more in the windows world.
>>
>>108241750
"linux" isn't even a single community, let alone a corporate body that can be subject to legislation.

but in practical terms, basically what would happen is only OS's that have some certification that they put in age verification would be able to access some resource or another... but also practically speaking no one is installing shit to interact with the government. not in a OMG SPOOKS sense, gubberments just prefer web pages for most stuff and app ecosystems are always a huge mess. I guess they could do it for things using an app, but those are few and far between and are already installed through Google Play or Apple Store which already feature age verification and pretty easy ways to double-check that the user's account is either obviously an adult (used a credit card and the name lines up, no children have their own credit cards, or maybe just the account itself is literally 21 years old which is very possible at this point) or has done some kind of age verification

requiring windows to do it would be theoretically enforceable that way since there is a windows app store but no one fucking uses it. and again, any gubberment application will probably be a web page and browsers aren't very good at automagically gleaning actual user account stuff. they barely work with windows' own attempts at SSO as it is

Sounds to me like you don't know what private networks are. But anyway: you can obviously craft some firewall rules that pick the whatever current private IP block and only allow that one into your SSH port. But it wouldn't make any difference as you are inside a private net anyway.
As said: it requires extra effort to be reachable from the outside internet, not the other way around.

if you click open does it open something? if not, maybe try the tickbox and then hit open. of course that means it's always going to open handlers in their associated apps, up to you if that's acceptable.

I applied on Indeed on a lark, got an interview, and that was that.

at a tipsy (rather than outright drunken) christmas season luncheon, my boss admitted that I "oozed personality" at the interview, and very early on (like in the first week) I found my resume sitting out and asked off the cuff what about it stood out and what my competition was like: apparently I was competing with people who are much more boring but somehow even more incompetent and even bigger flight risks.

my going theory is that my bosses for at least three levels up are all lunatics, and gave up on the whole process once they found a fellow lunatic who knows how to type and is ex-mil, because the job itself is incredibly simple despite a pretty dire looking job description, but is directly involved in military business so you need a lot of patience, enough outside knowledge to have come across "righty tighty lefty loosy" and to already know a few more acronyms than the average cowadoody player.

and it is glorified IT support. "did you turn it off and on again?" type stuff. pay isn't great either, I make 60k flat. before tax and tip. but if I can do it, anyone can.

I recently decided to completely ditch Windows and go with an all Linux environment, Specifically for bazzite. I was already dualbooting with mint but I had them installed on two separate ssd's so I thought it would be easy to just overwrite windows with bazzite and call it a day. Turns out this was the WORST mistake I could have made. My bootloader fucked itself and anytime I went back to mint from bazzite it either took five minutes to boot, froze completely, or went into emergency mode and I had to update the grub Everytime this happened. I've decided to nuke both bazzite and mint and just reinstall both of them, but what's the correct order to install them so the grub boot works properly? Should I install mint first or bazzite? I use a graphics tablet that works better with X11 and there are optimizations for specific games I play on bazzite so that's why I want to dualboot and not just pick one over the other.
