How does one know if computer science, programming, etc, is right for them? I've had an on and off interest in this kind of thing which ultimately comes down to wanting to know what I can do with computers, creativity, and also systematizing, but I know so little I can't be sure this is something I'd want to dedicate my time to and I lack direction. I've wondered if it's possible to reasonably have it as a side hobby and eventually turn it into a job or something but I don't know.
Part of it is a desire for some kind of surrogate for mental engagement and stimulation which I lack, that can also be marketted. I've had no place to challenge my mind.

That's kind of how I feel from the start, but entering into a competitive ocean like that does sound a bit intriguing. I'll continue learning a bit about it because I have enough of an interest and a will in the way of it. If not this though, I don't know what's for me, computer science is just something which has sort of caught my interest, and at a young age I was told it was something I should persue, and I think I probably am of the right disposition for it, but I don't know. I feel like manual labor would be humiliating for me, but maybe that's needed. Idk.

Are there any languages that support 'subloop' constructs? Like I want to inherit the state set by the initializers of the outer loop and just continue working with the same parameters (optionally a new conditional for exiting this subloop). Example:

for(int i = 0; i++; i < size){
if(array[i] > 0){
edgeDetectList.add(i);
subloop(array[i] > 0){
// I guess in this example I don't need any particular logic here
// But at the end of this loop, i should be incremented and checked against size
// If i < size is hit before this inner loop exits, it should directly exit the outer loop, hitting the print statement and skipping the following list addition
}
edgeDetectList.add(i);
}
}
print("done");

Just syntatic sugar, the same way loops themselves are shorthand for jumps/GOTOs. The alternative in my example would require a regular inner loop that has at least an extra if in order to check both a falling edge as well as the bounds of the array.

And the question was if it exists, not if it provides val(You).

I recently picked up a laptop on eBay that is about five years old, a Dell XPS 13 9305 (2021). I picked it up because the one that I still have is running well, and I think having one completely dedicated to Linux would turn the veteran computer into a power house once I "install gentoo" on it.

I have another laptop just like this one where I recently swapped out the battery and it didn't require that much effort. In fact, that guitar pick spudger didn't even encounter any of those plastic tabs you'd normally run into when separating the bottom of the laptop from the rest of the computer, so that made replacing the battery super easy.

But one of the risks of buying a used laptop is that it might come with unwanted software on it. While I do plan on replacing the SSD (because FUCK WINDOWS), I know hackers are clever and might have put their bad mojo in a persistent part of RAM or on the BIOS chip.

Just to make sure we have a clean house, is there anything I can do to check for malware on the hardware?

Also, because it's not so easy getting hardware updates (BIOS, etc.) for Linux, anything I can install to get those things without sucking on Microsoft's Indian Nepo Baby Boss's dick? (Apparently, Satya Nadella has himself some rich and influential parents back in India.)

I just took the battery out of my laptop because it was clearly bad. Windows would show some level of charge, around 40% or so but then it would lose all power when unplugged from the wall. Multimeter is showing 0volts, completely dead.

Is this just a bad battery or is there something in the BMS that's likely gone bad as well? Windows showing a charge is the confusing part.

Running on an external NVMe/USB3 is great, but outside of my budget at the moment. Not the adaptor, in fact, I really love these Sabrent enclosures.

https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Type-C-Tool-Free-Enclosure-EC-SNVE/dp/B08RVC6F9Y/

NVMe's are a little out side of my budget at the moment. Blame the price hikes on NAND memory and our old pal Donnie with his tariff bullshit.

I hate windows with a burning passion. This is mostly due to me buying their products and then having the entire machine shut down as soon as any warranty is up.
But I've had some issues with college programs like respondus being unable to run on anything but windows without accusing me of cheating.
I won't have to worry about this much longer, but a similar issue could happen with some other hyper specific program.

So my plan is to pirate windows 10 and by a 12 dollar 64gb sd card to run from. This way it can't mess with my linux OS.
Is there any reason this won't work or is overkill?

I have two 1TiB HDDs on my computer. I have just made 500GiB of each on a mirrored RAID1 for the OS to use.
For backups, is it safe to use the remaining 500GiB on another RAID1, or should I do backups on another disk instead?
How would you do that RAID+backup setup? It's a single boot, single partition for the OS, not much heavy files stored. I use it just to browse, store memes and do work (the latter two needs backing up).

I have once got a dead HDD (some mechanical issue on the arm and plates). I had to take it to a specialist to recover the disk image into a new HDD (and he probably saved my personal pr0n and piracy for himself). Then i got paranoid on loosing data and i started doing RAID 1 on different disks; but have not done backups yet.

I'm visiting my parents for Thanksgiving and I have an old gaming PC I left there when I moved out. It was nothing crazy, even when I got it, so I just use it to browse the net or maybe watch anime when I'm home. But for some reason it won't turn on. Like the power button works, I can hear the case fans start to spin, and the power indicator light flickers for maybe half a second before it turns off. Is the PSU busted? I haven't touched it since last Christmas and it was fine then, and my parents haven't touched it either.

Saying I encountered nearly no problems rebooting between 3 separate windows installations doesn't prove shit for you other than how fucking abysmal your reading comprehension is, retard.


>Pairing happens with OS not PC
Way to move the fucking goalpost. That doesn't explain why the fucking adapter shits the bed after rebooting AND won't reconnect even AFTER re-jumping through the hoops of re-connecting the device from scratch... Which you no shit have to do across OSs

I expect to have to re-connect/pair across resets, just not do shit 1 step short of re-configuring the fucking drivers from scratch. EVERY REBOOT.

Again, switching between WINDOWS installations never results in anything worse than reconnecting, switching between windows and shitfucks? BREAKS every goddamn time.

Is there anything that lets me do the following:
- plug wired Ethernet into laptop
- it scans for connected devices on the network and their IP addresses
- sets IP of the laptop to whatever address is free on the most common range of all connected devices

So for example if most devices on the wired network use 192.168.1.x it sets the machines own IP to an address in that range. Would be super useful for PLC stuff. If I’d want to make such thing (in python) what are the terms to look for? I’m not great at network model stuff

How does it handle seeding when you have more torrents seeding than your max upload amount? Ex. I have 5 max uploads set and 10 torrents seeding. If one of those torrents loses all of its peers, does it detect that and switch to the next torrent in the queue?

In the case of wanting to seed a bunch of stuff, would it be better to just force seed every torrent, even if you have a lot of them?

I have an HP Envy dv6t. Whenever I attempt to load recovery from the BIOS, I get an error pertaining to required devices not being found. I can still boot to Windows though.

I think it has to do with there being two recovery partitions. The laptop originally coming with Windows 8, and I have since upgraded it to 10. I think what happened is during that upgrade, Windows found the 400MB size of the original partition too small for W10's recovery partition, so it just up and carved out the new one.

HOWEVER, the original partition still has stuff on it, including what looks to be some HP-specific files.

So if that first recovery partition is still populated with files, why am I getting an error when attempting to boot directly to it from the BIOS?

Also, I initially thought of simply resizing the first partition and then letting reagentc do its thing with that, but that would require messing with the C: partition, and now I'm starting to doubt it would even be worth it.

i'm not even doing anything that obscure. downloads folder is sorted by date, large thumbnails. newest files should just show up. they don't. they put a million pieces of unwanted bloatware spying bullshit into win11 and no one ever thought to fix this bug. i hate this company so much it's unreal.

I just bought Roller coaster Tycoon 2 from the Steam sale, launching it brings my PC (Win10 LTSC) temps from 42 degrees to 71. What the fuck is going on in such an old game to turn my computer into an oven?
>>
>>107343149
Never mind, the game runs in 32 bit compatibility mode which is what caused my CPU to spike in temps. I looked into it, and there's a custom launcher called "OpenRCT2" that optimizes the game for modern systems. Now the game launches at a much more comfortable 46 degrees.

Forgot to mention. This seems to be independent of the "OEM Partition", labeled as D: "RECOVERY" within Windows.

Anyway, my working theory is that the BIOS is hardcoded to have the "System Recovery" option accessed by pressing F11 point to the first partition, where the original "recovery partition" resides

I'm thinking of buying a Steam Deck, is it easy to install another Linux System and run pirated games on it? Considering how weak my country currency is, it's not worth if I can't.
I'm pretty comfortable with running simple Linux distros(like Fedora), so it being Linux is a plus if I can just install something else.

Some boards will specify that some ports are shared. For example, the m.2 slot and one of the PCI-e slots, or the 2nd m.2 slot and the sata ports. Review your motherboard tech specs and see if your SATA port is being shared with another occupied slot/port.

Oh I've heard of that. Do ISPs catch on eventually if you download and seed torrents through a vpn? Like I said, I'm in a rural area and only have a handful of options for ISPs.

It's a VPS with a hosted OS that has a torrent client. You just upload or download files from there and it continues to seed until you remove them.

I use surfshark. ISPs don't actually give a fuck but they must cover their asses so if you drop the VPN you get a warning immediately to delete all related media files but 100s of torrents with VPN and nothing. Again your ISP could give a fuck they (in america at least) just don't want to be left with the bag if you're too fucking blatant.

that's not to say you can't get in trouble, first rule of being a police state is that everyone is guilty of something so expect whatever you do to be used against you in the future if "they" ever need to fuck you in the ass.

I want to buy a new Laptop to put Linux on or something that already has Linux on it and definitely works as default, distro is irrelevant I like all of the big three (Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch).

System 76 is too expensive, QWERTY only and I need QWERTZ, and I would get slapped with a huge sales tax, so I'm thinking of getting a TuxedoComputers laptop, currently I'm eyeing these two models

1) https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/TUXEDO-InfinityBook-Pro-14-Gen10.tuxedo#configurator (pro14)

2) https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/TUXEDO-InfinityBook-Pro-15-Gen10-AMD.tuxedo#configurator (pro15)

I'd put 2TB WD and 32GB RAM as on option no matter what model and i'd also pick the Ryzen 7 H 255 for both, only the display is different, 16:10 is fine, welcome even, but 2280 seems strange, pretty sure thats what phones also use. 5 mil vs 4 mil pixels, I dont even play that much and when I do I want it to still conserve power. High refresh rates are good but I'm on 120hz rn and it's fine, some games can barely keep up I dont need 300hz.
And I'd leave Tuxedo OS on it or maybe move to Cachy if performance isnt as promised.

I am aware of Librem and other Linux ready laptops, and the fact that a used T450 is 500 bucks but I'm a germaphobe.

Is TuxedoComputers good, would one of the two models be better for me ?

Pi have gotten pricey so I'm wondering if I'm better off with some cheap old i3 mini PC for this running Linux instead of an SBC. Or is there a new SBC for home streaming.

>side by side, so neither is directly messing with the other's air intake

Also what speed? Shouldn't be max, right, airflow through the dehumidifier might be too fast and cool for it to capture any water. So it should be a medium or low level right? (Even low would be quite a bit more powerful than the dehumidifier's own fan)

Thanks. It's a nice to have but most of my stuff doesn't have it. Like the Switch only does with 1st party controllers, which are shit, but it's 5ft away and on the way to sitting down anyway.

So I was thinking something like that or some cheap old Lenovo since the server does the decoding and the main PC does the running of the game. This just needs enough power to relieve and pass on to the TV. Pi4 showing more promise, as I have one too, but I need another thing for the second TV and pi3 isn't making it. Maybe Elec instead Pi OS would help I dunno

Forgive me for the grave sin I am considering committing, /g/, but talk me out of getting an iPad for university use.
I decided to borrow a relative's iPad out of curiosity since I noticed a lot of students in my classes use iPads, and I have been using it for a couple of months now. I have discovered that I have completely fallen in love with it. I thought that they were just a gimmick, but it turned out to be a massive game changer. A lot of my classes require written work to be scanned and uploaded, and I have been doing everything with pencil and paper for all of my time in college. Often times, it takes me up to 1-2 extra hours just to get the homework scanned in because my phone's camera is shit and it turns out illegible at times. So I have to go back and re-write parts of my work. Likewise, some of my classes require plots to be done in pen, and I'll end up re-doing it about 5 times. However, with the iPad, I am simply able to draw in my work and submit. My hand-writing also comes out nicer and more legible on the iPad. This saves me so much time. Likewise, I am also able to do a lot of other stuff on the iPad, like take pictures, upload random graphs and tables into my assignments which makes it a lot easier to do certain things. It also ended up saving my ass when I was working on a time-sensitive assignment required to do in a class period, and a student was able to air-drop me a vital file. It also saves loads of space since I save a lot of my past work since a lot of my classes are cumulative. I have tubs full of past assignments I have saved, and it takes up space. Again, I am ashamed that I am seriously considering this. Take me down to reality, /g/.

that's alkalines in general, anon. They just do that. It's a shitty chemistry, no matter who makes it. You'll find dried up crystals of electrolyte from leaking batteries inside the detectors eventually no matter what you buy.

First time upgrading my monitor to one with above 60hz, but a little confused about things

the model im looking to buy is the MSI MAG 275QF for $150, which goes up to 180hz.
Looking at reviews, with overdrive set to normal and refresh rate set to 180, the response time is 11ms which is apparently pretty bad and increasing the OD introduces problems with ghosting and such; but with overdrive set to fast and refresh rate set to 144hz, it gets 6ms response time and less issues.
So it's better to just set the monitor to 144hz and OD to fast? is it worth the reduce refresh rate?

Also does the refresh rate being a multiple of 60 matter at all? i remember hearing about it a long time ago, but not sure if it actually mattered

thank you, my worry is not about the wattage, but about the possibility of something like voltage differences to cause trouble

It depends on the situation. Unlocked framerate games with VRR may benefit from higher refresh rate. Black frame insertion only cares about multiples of 120. Odd multiples of 60 aren't significant.

But you can see the best average response time that panel can manage is pretty close to 1/144, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's the least bad setting most of the time.
