The wattage of a psu is what it can go up not what it uses at all timea right? So for example say my pc only needs 650w no matter the wattage of what psu I get it'll always only go up to around those 650w? If I get a 1000w psu it'll use the same amount of electricity and will be just as efficient if the only difference is in the wattage?

Yes, but... PSUs are most efficient at 50-60% load, so the 1000W PSU will actually consume less electricity than the 650W one for the same 600W load.
But if the load is too low, efficiency drops to comical levels, so you also shouldn't get a 1000W supply if you'll spend most of the time idling.
Good PSUs have the efficiency curve stated clearly so you can make an informed decision.

This PC used to work perfectly but had to change the motherboard for reasons, now with the new motherboard the PC reboots every time I plug an USB or headphone. what could be the cause and possible solutions?

Incorrect cabling or faulty motherboard.
Or a short somewhere, like the backplate having some loose strip of metal that gets pushed inside a USB slot and makes contact.

A months or so ago the Firefox search bar search engine selector changed to this dropdown menu. Previously after typing something in there the search engines would pop up at the bottom to be clicked on to select which search engine I want to use for each search (though it would default to Google if I simply pressed enter). Now it's this retarded shit that requires an extra click. Is there a way to change it back to how it was?
I think this is sort of a niche question because I'm the only one left who uses a search bar separate from the URL bar.

I couldn't imagine being on here and being this thin skinned about anything, especially a bait comment.

I'm in the final year of my CS degree and debating a pivot to the gaming "stream" purely cause Im cooked anyway - might as well do my "passion"

At the same time - I'm fucking exhausted and want this shit to be over and I fear I'm making the same mistake I made before - turning what should be a hobby in a formal course for literally is this a wise decision if I want to make games and possibly get hired in the industry?

Pros: Would show some dedication to the industry by committing to a gaming stream, would feel more relevant on the resume -- would bolster my degree a bit by making it feel more relevant

Cons: Would extend the amount of courses I have in this final year , I could still finish it in 2027 but it feels like why am I paying these pricks more money?

gaming stream would add:
1 math course in the spring
1 intro to gaming class in the spring
1 graphics class (math heavy)
1 "real time gaming" class
1 writing class
+ Capstone

Whereas just going for the straight finish
1 course in the spring
1-2 courses in the Fall - breathers - literally object oriented and some other nothingburger
1 course in the winter - capstone

But so much more free time to focus on the work / real life

But I'll miss out on real time gaming and some of the "fancy" gaming classes cause there's a 3D dev class thats a sequel to the graphics course

nobody can tell you how you should live your life, we lack sufficient context to offer meaningful advice. what i will say is that your line of thinking should be "how does what i do translate to putting food on the table" because at the end of the day that's what actually matters. whatever you commit to should be something that you are capable of doing mentally, physically, and spiritually for the rest of your life in order to meet your basic needs.

if you fuck up it's not the end of the world, i have a compsci degree and realized after the fact that i hate business software development, but i was able to transition into an IT career without too much hassle. but it's better if your piece of paper actually correlates to what you're doing to make money doing.

+ 99% of indie games doesn't break even on Steam
+ I keep reading articles saying yet another AAA company is laying off thousands of employees
+ AI tools already makes 1 developer able to do the work of 3 and they're bound to get better
+ If you use gaming to relax maybe it won't be as relaxing once it's your job

If I were growing up today I would educate myself towards jobs that requires physical movent in the real world, like being an electrician or plumber. Robots doing those things in the real world still feels far off while anything touching a computer is at risk at AI replacement. Sucks to get a job that could damage your body but that's the times we're in.

It's not about AI completely taking over a job completely, it's about tools becoming so good that companies can have 1 guy do the work of 10 without him even getting exhausted. That doesn't reduce the chance of getting a job by 90% as one would think, it reduces it by more like 99% since they would just want the absolute best of the best be that 1 guy that they do hire. All guys doing the same job are not equal.

The host computer with all the memory, storage and CPU cores, libvirt wraps around the hypervisor which can be many including XEN, KVM or ESX and provides an API for virsh to manage over the network, then you can use virt-manager as a GUI on top of virsh so basically virt-manager -> virsh -> (network) -> libvirt -> hypervisor.

Two questions


1. I had a error message earlier this day but I clicked it away before I read what it said, since it said something about System32 I want to check it out again to be sure isn't something really bad, I heard event viewer can used to look up error messages but how do you do that?

2. A game I installed, can't seem to be installed (I want to reinstall it but it can't be removed through Windows or the games own uninstaller) so I take it Deleting it in regedit is the only option?

are there really no prepaid phone plans where you can just buy like 100 minutes of time and then that's it, you just always have an emergency phone ready to go because you'll never use up all that time with it? everything I'm looking at expires in 30-90 days, defeats the point if my backup phone requires a monthly fee...

just search event viewer in the search box and open it up, go to windows logs and then system or application depending on the error, it'll be noisy so you might have to dig

Anons, I need your expertise. Do I buy a M5 Pro chip or a M5 Max chip for a 14" MacBook Pro? I essentially want to buy the absolute best MacBook chip, regardless of the price, but by "best" I don't just mean the one that has the best performance alone, but rather I want the chip that is considered to be the best when all variables are taken into account and balanced out somehow. In particular, I'm talking about battery life and potential thermal issues of the M5 Max chip in a 14.2" laptop. Is the battery life downgrade really bad or is it OK? Are thermal issues a big deal, or not?
What do you recommend, taking into account all those things, not just the performance? Don't suggest me to buy a 16" MacBook Pro, or something other than M5 Pro or M5 Max, please.
Asking because it's somewhat difficult to find various tests and benchmarks online that use a 14" chassis for the Max chip, most use 16".

Most prepaid SIM cards work like this:
>after 60-90 days of you not adding money to it, they "soft expire". You can no longer make calls or send messages, but you can receive them so your SIM card is still semi-functional.
>after another 14-120 days the SIM card fully expires. You can no longer receive calls or messages. A few days after this happens the SIM card is permanently deactivated and you have to get a new one.

Most operators don't like keeping unused prepaid SIM cards active since they'd just clog up the system with unavailable numbers. They also want to push you to a more expensive monthly subscription instead of you only spending $5 every 3 months to keep your SIM card alive.

>you'll never use up all that time with it
If by "time" you mean the minutes of calls you get, then you can forget about it. These mostly last 30 days after you top up your SIM card (assuming your operator gives your free MBs/minutes when you add funds to the SIM card) or if you've paid for a plan they last 30-90 days.
But if this is an emergency phone number then you're approaching this wrong. You're not supposed to waste money on pointless monthly plans at all. Just add minimum funds to the SIM card once every 2-4 months to keep your SIM card active. Then when you need to make a call just make it without paying for a plan. Calls are usually $0.02-$0.2 per minute depending on where you live. This approach is much more cost effective for emergency numbers that are used once in a blue moon. And if there's ever a situation where you believe you'll make over 50 minutes of calls in a month, only then pay for a (non-auto-renewing) plan for that specific month. SIM cards are basically digital wallets in a way. With a monthly plan you're just paying for a subscription fee for nothing (if you don't use the SIM anyway).

Alternatively, you can get a SIM/e-SIM bundled with some other service you use. Example, the Revolut bank has some mobile plan included in one of their plans.

I need to install WeChat on my work laptop but I don't really trust it. Is Sandboxie a relatively safe way of doing so? Or do I need an entire VM?

>>108394022
I tried Revo Installer but the game wasn't in the list for some reason

>>108394269
last time i used Sandboxie it only prevented disk writes (isolates disk writes).
unless they changed the program WeChat would still be able to read all the files on your disk as normal and send them over internet.
so depends on if you want to isolate the program completely (then you need a VM) or if you just want to prevent it from installing other stuff you dont know about or overwrite things

>>108394269
The problem with Sandboxie is WeChat will still be able to read your user files. Technically you can block this by denying it access to specific folders, like your home folder, but this is something you have to manually configure. And I assume WeChat needs access to some of the file paths, like AppData and such. Sandboxie is mostly a protection from destructive malware, not a protection from spyware. I assume you want to prevent potential spying, in which case you should use a VM.

>>108394269
I don't use we hat but they have a web version that you can set up with your phone app it seems. Maybe you can install that as we app which is more isolated as I understand

then you'd need to figure out what it's checking that's making it think it's installed. you could try fucking with filters on sysinternals process monitor but if the install bugged out once even if you fix it it'll probably do so again, you might be better off trying to search for a fix or using some sort of alternative install, like a cracked version or a gog release or something.

If I wanted to minimize my online presence- quitting google, YouTube, social media in general. Along with having my online presence more private like everything I do not being tracked, how would I go about all this?
I’m addicted to my phone, and I’m ready to make steps to do this, but I don’t know how. I just wanna be left alone, and go back to a simpler time when things weren’t so connected. Part of my plan to do this is to delete social media, stop using google, maybe even start using Linux, and start watching more physical media as opposed to streaming everything.

I'm geoblocked from using certain sites (civitai, chub.ai) because of my country's shitty totalitarian government. I want to get a vps, install openbsd and use wireguard. What country should I choose for the server - I'm in Australia? Is there a chance my IP might be blocked by some websites because it's associated with a vps company?

Most VPN detection basically just looks at the AS for your IP, which is kind of who owns it. All data center IPs are considered to be VPN traffic.
Your only solution is one of those residential VPNs or someone putting a laptop or something in their home. The residential VPNs will often use your internet connection to route traffic out of, so, personally, I'd stay away from those unless you want to eventually meet the police when you open your door.
You're going to have trouble with getting someone in a less shitty country to put a laptop or mini pc in their home and hook it up to internet and power, but that's what people from countries like NK do to pretend to work from the US or European countries for remote work.

>>108396120
>>108396597
personally, i'd recommend keeping it small enough so that if you're staring at the center, you can see most of the screen in your peripheral. reduces the amount of eye tracking you need to do which is somewhat important for shows but very important for games.

>>108396553

Looking to buy a Raspberry Pi Pico (2040), may consider buying from either Aliexpress or eBay depending on how expensive it is on Adafruit. Third-party clones shouldn't matter, since they should have the same 2040 chip and all the same properties/functionalities of its iteration--B0, B1, B2--right? Other components on the board being different shouldn't matter all that much (unless I'm using the W version, since micropython may not support certain alternative wifi modules)?

I'll be using it to libreboot my ThinkPad and desktop, so I'm particularly worried about it handling voltages appropriately, otherwise I'd just use the CH341A programmer I have on hand.

Hey /g/bros, last time I used a VPN for anything was like 10 years ago but I'm starting to care more about privacy now
With that in mind, is there any downside to using a VPN 24/7? Years back it was really fucking slow for me but recently it doesn't feel any different than not using it

>>108397005
unless your provider has some sort of cap or has less bandwidth available than your isp, not really. if either of these is true, just turn it off before anything bandwidth-intensive, easy enough really.

>>108397024
That's good to hear, thanks anon. On a different note though, do websites mess up with VPNs at all? I don't use it for 4chan obviously but I never noticed any trouble anywhere else, anything noteworthing in regards to that?

>>108397038
not really unless they're specifically trying to block vpn traffic which is uncommon. you might get served different content depending on where your exit point is, though. sometimes this is desirable, sometimes it's not. not every provider lets you set this, plenty do though.

>>108397058
Thank you very much!!

Is this new geopolitical conflict and turmoil just a distraction and scapegoat because AI is actually starting to wreak havoc on the job market and therefore society at large?
It's better to blame unemployment and economic hardship on a "war" than blaming it on what's actually the cause which will never go away.
Added bonus is that more nations (not just Ukraine and Russia) are able to rid themselves of their surplus undesirables.

>>108397005

You don't torrent, or do you live somewhere DMCA notices hold no power? If the latter, I don't think you have anything to worry about privacy-wise unless you're trying to subvert your gracious government.
>I'm starting to care more about privacy now

Yes but an spectrum analyzer will give it away when you see all the high notes missing.

>AI is actually starting to wreak havoc on the job market and therefore society at large?
Globalization already wreaked havoc on the job market decades ago. Any job that can be done remotely is usually done by foreigners in shittier countries. For example, a lot of people working for US companies are actually from India, Philippines, or some less wealthy EU or Slav country. Why give an American $50k/year to work in a call center when you can pay a 3rd worlder $10k-$20k/year? Why pay an American senior software engineer $120-$250k/year when you can pay some 3rd worlder $50k/year?

AI only optimizes mundane work which has no value to begin with. And it doesn't even replace workers in most cases. If anything it opened even more job opportunities in general. Companies that fire people and cite AI as a reason are just using AI as an excuse because they overhired and realized they cannot maintain their workforce due to the current state of economy and their finances.

If you look at the historic unemployment rate we're actually doing really good. Historically unemployment rate hovered between 5% and 8% and only got to 10%-14% during the 2008 crisis and during COVID.
Meanwhile it was between 3% and 4.5% in the past 10 years (aside from the COVID spike which lasted a year). The reason it's rising is not AI, it's just global economy in general.

anyone actually self-host an email here or are you just repeating information from 10 years ago?

there's not a single e-mail provider remaining online that you can use without giving at least a telephone number, if it was possible to just "self host" there would be 100s of email services available to pick from that you just sign up to and then use (without a phone number), but there is zero.

btw anyone thinking protonmail is okay, you also have old information. you can "sign up" and "use" it but as soon as you get an email the fuckers don't show it to you unless you give a phone numbers. forget actually sending mails.
(i'm talking about being able to both send and receive mails, i know there are still mails out there that are "receive only". but if you want to send mail you need to give a phone number.)

this is a hidden question for email providers btw, one that you sign up to without having to confirm personal information and then you can both send/receive.

Huh? Protonmail, Gmail, Tutanota. None of them require a phone number.

It does if you register it in a web browser with some privacy settings turned on and if you don't enable any form of 2FA like OTP or a hardware key. But you can create infinite gmail accounts without a phone number and if you don't know how to do this then it's just a skill issue.

What the fuck are you even talking about? You don't need a phone number for a Protonmail account. I use 2 of them and neither have a phone number assigned.

Any suggestions for a recipe and pantry/inventory organizing solution, that is NOT Grocy?

I just need something that can display recipes neatly (web scraping would be good but optional) AND includes a tracker for items' stock and expiry date (with reminders when they're close to expiry).

Tried Grocy but despite its merits, it's an absolute autism simulator. Also while it works with Home Assistant nicely with a custom integration, I can't get the addon to work with an externally hosted server.
Mealie looks just right for the recipe bit and integrates with HA, but there's nothing for pantry management. On the other hand, I'm willing to run a separate inventory app if it's not retardedly overcomplicated and possibly has integration with HA.

forgot to say, this one is no good since you must wait 3 days or something before using the account after sign up. and they delete the account if you don't log in after 6 months (unreliable).

well i'm not sure if it'd be any different today. over time i've had to add more new stuff like DMARC and SPF and other shit as i see other servers start to complain about. and sure, having a behaving mail server for longer probably grants your mail easier passage through other servers, but 2013/2016 are hardly OLD servers, not particularly new anymore either but still. i don't have another domain to test out whether a "new" one would be any less functional

This is a bootable windows 10 on the usb stick but it flashes the windows 8? logo. The usb also blinks the entire time until the screen flash. I am so confused.

Turn off secure boot. I know the certs are MS, but I'm not sure if something old might be missing the current certs. Try a different flash drive, and make sure you're flashing it with rufus or the MS tool. Etcher doesn't play nice with windows isos.

there's this work website authenticated via Microsoft AD whatever I tried to access from my Linux PC and after completing 2FA it just told me that my device needs to be managed by the org to access it
however, when I do the same thing from my iPhone it just works

There probably is one, but most toasters are much simpler than microwaves. That's also why they cost significantly less.

>>108402706
No clue how to get there on iOS, but usually you can check under something like device administrators. Wouldn't be surprised if they were just checking user agent, and letting phones through. My employer expects us to be logged in to a bunch of stuff on our personal phone, with no device management, probably because people would demand the company provide a phone at that point. However, if I were to log into that stuff on my personal desktop, that would be against policy. I would recommend strongly against using personal computers for anything work related for a variety of reasons, but the one you probably care the most about is that it's really easy to detect, if you're using a different os and they give a shit.

>>108402753

Yes, it's not too bad. The big annoyance is sender reputation. Sometimes other IPs in my cloud provider's AS drag mine down, but you can get around that by using a service like mailgun as a relay. Not the best for privacy, but, if you really need certain emails to get through, it works.

Using mint and zorin on VM base is win 10.
Just did a fresh install on my PC, it didn't go as smoothly as it usually has this time around.
Anyways, I usually use mint to browse and yt downloader to snatch up anything interesting. New to zerion and using it pretty much the same.
Though on this install of the vm's, mint looks grainy AF and doesn't go full screen on my TV monitor dual screen set up even with the usual guest editions and zorin seems choppy AF when watching and scrolling.
Made a new VM with both, same issues.
I also use the VMS to watch movies and shows on those free streaming sites that come and go.

>>108404548
In principle it is possible to have both internal and external antennas and to switch between using either of them. I have seen this in Mikrotik routers but only for LTE, not for WiFi.
I doubt your adapter has internal antennas, so you'll probably lose signal strength and/or speed by removing an external antenna.

It will work, but whether it will be right or not depends on how the antennas are used by the chip. You'd have to read the documentation.
Why not leave the second antenna connected? You have three antennas and the adapter needs only two, so why insist on leaving one port unconnected?

Games randomly freeze in place for 1-5 seconds and goes back to normal. These freezes don't crash the GPU driver or crash the PC, and I can alt-tab out. It's more like a long hiccup, and I can't replicate it because they never happen at the same spot twice.

>Unreal Engine 4 games = freezes when there's explosions
>Elden Ring = a freeze (screen goes black)

I just tested Subnautica and there are no freezes. I'm gonna try other games, but I doubt I can reliably replicate this freeze. What's going on?

>>108406593
when Vulkan and its likes spawned off, they expected people to do a bunch of shit that no one wanted to actually do. as a consequence. when your computer sees certain vfx for the first time, your computer has to just-in-time compile the whole thing which causes stutter and goes away once its been turned into linked and executable gpu code.

it should be less and less of a problem when this https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Docs/blob/main/proposals/VK_EXT_shader_object.adoc becomes more prevalent.

Domains can be blocked outside of the DNS layer. But this looks like a DNS block to me. Check how the domain is resolved by your PC and your web browser. It's possible that your web browser, OS or VPN are bypassing whatever you've set as your DNS.
In your terminal run:

dig fitgirl-repacks.site

(use nslookup instead of dig on Windows)

Then in your web browser open up the dev tools (F12). Go to the network tab and find the "fitgirl-repacks.site" HTML GET request. Click on that request then expand the GET header to see the IP address. The IP address should match the IP you get with dig/nslookup. And the IP should be the one in this pic.

If your dig/nslookup is reporting the wrong address, then it's your OS or VPN to blame. Otherwise it's your web browser that uses it's own internal DNS.

>>108406839
That site works in Portugal. Are you using DNS over TLS or DNS over HTTPS? I assume you're using cloudflare DNS, but, if it's unencrypted, your ISP can simply intercept the DNS requests and return their own response for certain domains.

Can you release the DHCP lease on your router and get a new one? If your ISP is trying to keep the IPs sticky, you might need to have the lease released or your router powered off for some time.

Aparently not because my router access code isn't working anymore. Even if I request to use the default code to reset it with the default code on the back of the router. Fucking ATT I swear.

If it could transfer files without ssh'ing or something like that, that'd be cool. Or maybe something else I'm not seeing.

DNS is controlled by you. You have to point mail1.yourdomain.tld to 76.54.32.9

They never do.
You need a public IP and it has to be static, two things that are becoming more rare by the day.
Even assuming a unicorn ISP that does give you everything, you would still not be able to host a mail server. This is because that IP is set on your router, and what is behind the router? 10-30 insecure devices, most of which haven't seen a firmware update in years, and even the most secure ones have a brain dead moron operating them, so any spam they send would destroy the reputation of your IP and it would appear in every blacklist in an instant.
Mail servers usually get a dedicated public IP that nothing else in the company is allowed to use.

From my reading on the topic a while back, presence of nHAP in the paste doesn't mean anything. It's a prebiotic which you're using to encourage bacteria to grow and do the actual work.

If I were going to play with it, I would do 100% buy-in on Risewell paste / floss / mouthwash because I know they have credible studies. Idk if something like that exists with Chinese companies, but there are a lot of non-working nHAP products.
