oh kind of a side question. I have some of my old files from old pcs on an External
i made a copy of every file I could on em right
and I found some adware.exes
obviously I didnt run them
but are they running
jade pivot
run a free scan with malwarebytes if you're worried.
unreal iron
I don't THINK they're running
brave field
Likely not, but on an older system, an autorun.inf file could start them on mount
unreal iron
hmmmm
jade pivot
autorun hasnt been a thing since w7
brave field
Much older system, Windows Vista era
^^
Autorun can still set things like drive icons but nothing else
unreal iron
theres an autorun setup file in "Proffesional Plus - No Serial"
looks like windows pfograms
groove, Office, Powerpoint

You mentioned adware, I'd just stay away from everything until you've done your Windows Defender scan and then a MBAM/Hitman second opinion scan
unreal iron
theres a firefox Readme link

haven't heard of office pro plus in a long time

unreal iron
deleted the autorun
theres no other Autorun files in here
in the "long term storage" areas
unreal iron
ok, no autoruns on the entire drive
jade pivot
your windows wouldnt run autorun unless you explicitly fucked around in the registry
unreal iron

deleting them is pointless

you most definitely need the original hdd for the recovery

possibly needs some slight soldering, but it's a knob battery

that's it
no, no other part usually breaks down by just lying around
unless you see leaky transistors on the board

It's the rgb for the case

brave field
Not everything
unreal iron
Ram, gpu, cd drive, and ssd?
brave field
The non-essentials: any video output cables, drives, PCIe cards, everything but the CPU, its cooler, and ram should be disconnected from the board. You only have to remove the cable end that's connected to the board.
Removing all other components eliminates any kind of failure that isn't CPU seating/death, ram placement/channel issues/death, chipset death, or UEFI flash death
unreal iron
This has the daughterboard remember
brave field
AGH THAT THING
Wait, that was just an additional power delivery board last time though, right?
unreal iron

The power supply is plugged into the daughterboard

It's a 6 pin cable lmao

actually, before you do anything with that then

brave field

unreal iron
2 beep code
brave field
progress!
unreal iron
That's
....good?
brave field
Whatever your one beep was, it's something that gets initialized after your ram gets checked over
unreal iron
brave field
So a higher CPU power state, maybe a PCIe device, supposedly some Alienwares will beep if you use the motherboard video out while having a GPU
wow, at the same time
"Motherboard failure" is the vaguest possible one in the list. Know if anything else changed since last use?
unreal iron
No
This is the same gpu and ram was never unseated
So this is the first time it's been unseated in a year
The cpu was removed
And I put that back, with fresh liquid on top
Screwed the fan back on top
The ssd is new to this pc
And it needs wiped
The cmos battery is replaced
brave field
CPU could be rotated wrong, but I think that would get caught far before the ram is checked
SSD should not be a factor, and the board should still boot with a bad cmos battery, and just complain about the battery being dead and settings being wiped. Was the board itself reseated in the case? Maybe a short to ground from a missing standoff?
unreal iron
No I didn't remove the board

Says 2230 in the title, so I'd trust it. As long as something supports a longer form factor, shorter drives will fit. The biggest issue would be if it has a mounting system similar to the screws motherboards use, and there wasn't a position that actually held down a 2230 drive.

Is it possible for an extremely brief power-dip to freeze my monitor and turn my image rainbow-color?
When I unplugged it and plugged it back in, it was working just fine again.
What’s wierd is when I unplugged the HDMI cable, the image was still displaying on my monitor with no input.

Universally? If so, try another cable, another OS, or connect another device to the cable and see.

Hi

I've been trying to watch Netflix Canada using ExpressVPN and it won't work. I thought that ExpressVPN is one of the best VPNs for Netflix but I've been having a lot of problems with it while trying to watch Netflix Canada.
I keep getting and error message in Netflix saying that I have a VPN enabled and that I need to turn it off. How do I fix that? It works perfectly fine on Netflix in other countries.
Has anyone else been experiencing this issue?

Not a really good point to advertise but it’s hype if it works

I think Netflix, PIA, and Express are all partnered. It would be a nice way to find who to test new annoyances on, like disabling account sharing, or putting a $50 charge on someone's card to "combat recent rampant card fraud"
fervent granite
sounds like a conspiracy tbh
but I could definitely see them having an agreement in the background

Streaming services are also barely profitable. Maybe they can get some 10% of the sales coming from clicking on those specific ads?

Or they could just continue increasing prices since pretty much everyone let’s it slide without issue it seems

Does anyone know how to prove non-equivalence between two propositional statements purely by utilizing the laws of propositional logic? For instance, how could I prove "p ∧ q !≡ p ∨ q" only by using the laws of propositional logic and not using a truth table?
proven creek
¬(p ∨ q) ≡ (p ∨ q) or?
arctic yarrow
Well, specifically I want to prove "(p ∧ q) !≡ (p ∨ q)" without using a truth table, only using the laws of propositional logic here:
Or something similar, like proving the converse of a conditional statement is not logically equivalent to a conditional statement.
I'm not allowed to use a truth table within the bounds of the assignment.
I think there may be a way to set up the two statements so that it evaluates to a contradiction.
proven creek
im begginer at this, but using distributive law, isnt the answer (p ∧ q) ≡ (p ∧ (p ∨ q))? If truth table is table with true and false combinations, is this the answer or you look for something else? ( And sorry, again Im begginer and bad at english)
arctic yarrow
im begginer at this, but using distributive law, isnt the answer (p ∧ q) ≡ (p ∧ ...
It's slightly off the topic I'm asking, but no, because in " (p ∧ (p ∨ q))" if "p" evaluates to true, the or statement evaluates to true no matter what "q" is, and therefore the and statement is "T ∧ T", which is True, which is the value of "p". If "p" evaluates to false, the statement is "F ∧ (F ∨ q))" which evaluates to false, which is the value of "p".
Now, if you're looking at the distributive law, "p ∧ (q ∨ r)" is different that what you asked. "p" is anding with "q" and "r" ored to each other, so it's "p" anded with "q", ored with "p" anded with "r".
proven creek
il write few things and numerize it so tell me whats wrong in steps, i really wana learn something. 1. so if we assume (p ∧ q) is equivalent to (p ∨ q), we can rewrite (p ∧ q) in terms of (p ∨ q) right? 2. we get (p ∧ q) is equivalent to (p ∨ q) ∧ (q ∨ q) and by that idempotent law from the pic q ∨ q is the same as q and by implying it in, we get (p ∨ q) ∧ (q ∨ q) is equivalent to (p ∨ q) ∧ q
- by absorption law, p ∨ (p ∧ q) is the same as p, so we get (p ∨ q) ∧ q is equivalent to p ∧ q
we now have contradiction of p ∧ q on both sides right?
and isnt it if we have contradiction, so (p ∧ q) !≡ (p ∨ q) cant be equivalent to each other
arctic yarrow
I need to parse it for a sec.
proven creek
ok, im checking it too, im a bit confused too as I dont know how to put in rows on discord except writing few messages which I was late
arctic yarrow
I'm confused how you got " (p ∧ q) ≡ (p ∨ q) ∧ (q ∨ q)" on step 2. What law did you use for that assertion?
flint viper
sounds like a bad screen, id RA it
You were right. I knew you probably were but I was coping hard. I saw some other people who had my exact issue and there was no way to fix it. It happened to me again. I went ahead and bought a new Dell monitor that is much nicer than mine.
My old one was from some brand called Viotek. Never buying their shit again.
proven creek
I'm confused how you got " (p ∧ q) ≡ (p ∨ q) ∧ (q ∨ q)" on step 2. What law did ...
yea, i can see that probably isnt correct. But is it then (p ∧ q) is equivalent to (p ∧ (p ∨ q))? and then absorption (p ∧ (p ∨ q)) simplifies to p, and then we have p on one side and (p ∧ q)
ok, my brain is done, i cant think anymore, i know im a bit stupid on math/coding/physics
arctic yarrow
You're good. I just need to figure out a way to prove non-equivalence using only propositional logic laws. I know to prove equivalence you use the laws to morph one into the other.
proven creek
I know u explained earlier that method not quite what you need/not good but I cant seem to figure out
arctic yarrow
Somehow I feel like I need to set it up in such a way that it only evaluates to true or false.
proven creek
for what you need this
quartz kayak
Does anyone know how to prove non-equivalence between two propositional statemen...
We're looking at two statements: "p ∧ q" (which means both p and q are true) and "p ∨ q" (which means at least one of p or q is true)
Imagine you have two friends, Peter (p) and Quincy (q)
For "p ∧ q" to be true, both Peter and Quincy need to be telling the truth at the same time.
For "p ∨ q" to be true, either Peter or Quincy (or both) need to be telling the truth.
Now, we want to see if these two statements are really different
If we try to prove that they're different using the rules of logic we know, we actually find that they're the same! It's like saying that whether Peter and Quincy both tell the truth or at least one of them does, the result is still true
So, it turns out that based on the logic rules we have, "p ∧ q" and "p ∨ q" are not different – they're actually equivalent. This might be a bit surprising, but that's how the rules of logic work in this case
I can also make an example with fishies if you want
🥁🥁🥁
(The fishies example is easier to understand imo)
arctic yarrow
We're looking at two statements: "p ∧ q" (which means both p and q are true) and...
But the truth tables of both of them are different.
What I'm trying to do is prove, without a truth table, that the two statements are not logically equivalent.
For instance, if Peter is not telling the truth, but Quincy is, then "p ∧ q" evaluates to false and "p ∨ q" evaluates to true

Correct!

While if the two statements are logically equivalent, they would have the same results for each variable.
