I have this weird issue where if I switch from any Wi-Fi network to a specific Wi-Fi network, it doesn't connect to the internet properly. Windows would say it's connected but most apps and websites wouldn't work. I later found that I could ping websites whose domain redirected to IPv6 addresses but not IPv4 addresses. To fix this I just have to turn off Wi-Fi and turn it back on and connect to this network. This happens only on this specific network and only on this device. What might be happening? FeelsWeirdMan

Not a DNS issue if I can't directly ping IPs either, right?

cold elbow Oct 12, 2021, 8:38 PM

Yeah

#

My first logical step is vpn

#

And even reinstall the wifi driver

strong saffron Oct 12, 2021, 8:40 PM

cold elbow My first logical step is vpn

Just connect to a VPN and see what happens?

cold elbow Oct 12, 2021, 8:40 PM

#

Yeah

#

It will eliminate a lot of factors related to your isp

#

Like blocking, closed ports and shitty dns

strong saffron Oct 12, 2021, 8:42 PM

#

Everything working fine on another device would already eliminate ISP and router settings no?

#

I'm using Cloudflare's DNS

Reinstall driver?

Guys, is it really possible for a PC gaming speaker to have a plug which needs to be plugged on a wall socket or similar to it to work?

jovial tide Oct 12, 2021, 10:40 PM

#

What do you mean? like a power plug?

tame current Oct 12, 2021, 10:45 PM

#

Yes

vapid grove Oct 12, 2021, 10:48 PM

#

What is a gaming speaker

#

But yes, all powered speakers (with their own internal amplification) require a wall outlet.

jovial tide Oct 12, 2021, 10:54 PM

#

Well speakers usually need power plugs

#

I haven't had one of those in years

tame current Oct 12, 2021, 10:55 PM

jovial tide Oct 12, 2021, 10:56 PM

fervent granite Oct 13, 2021, 12:01 AM

arctic yarrow Oct 13, 2021, 12:03 AM

jovial tide Oct 13, 2021, 1:32 AM

brave field C++, why that language?

i decided I had spent a long time on lua and wanted to learn something new

#

so I read about c++

#

heard it wasnt too complicated

#

and

#

I heard its good for

#

application building

#

which I've been interested in

Aaah, coming from Lua, nice

jovial tide Oct 13, 2021, 1:32 AM

#

hehe yeah

#

ive found my previous knowledge of lua to be useful

#

in learning c++ so far

#

c++ is sorta shocking to me though because it deals with files and compilation more

jovial tide Oct 13, 2021, 1:35 AM

#

brave field Been trying to get into languages like C++, C, C#, Kotlin, and the like, but the...

well

#

from what I've read

#

c++ is the best to get into

#

due to it being object oriented

#

and portable

#

C++ is like the most useful ancient language

#

didnt it come out in like

#

1985?

#

It has everything but still no garbage collection

#

That's ancient compared to all the other new ones

#

yep

#

Also it's useful for pretty much every device.

#

im really liking how easy it is to compile

brave field Oct 13, 2021, 1:37 AM

jovial tide Oct 13, 2021, 1:38 AM

#

jovial tide But compared to newer languages like Python, Java, C# it's a pain to work with

it is a bit more of a repetitive language

#

by that I mean you have to define many aspects of your code constantly in order for it to produce the best results

#

Yeah you don't sound like a pro programmer

#

I'm not

#

im a beginner

#

That's an extremely unpopular opinion

#

really?

#

for me when I have to test something new for my .cpp file I need to save the file, and make a new .exe every time

#

which gets on my nerves when I wanna make small changes

brave field Oct 13, 2021, 1:41 AM

#

Can't you avoid building a release executable with g++ on Linux?

jovial tide Oct 13, 2021, 1:41 AM

#

idk I'm using windows

#

Well it's code like any other code

#

? I wouldn't say that

#

Idk about G++ but C++ can run natively on Linux, try another compiler maybe

#

Other programming languages don't require you to make a new file and update it within command prompt each time to run them

#

@brave field try netbeans

brave field Oct 13, 2021, 1:44 AM

#

haha

#

You have jokes, my man

jovial tide Oct 13, 2021, 1:45 AM

#

What's wrong with NetBeans, it even has official Ubuntu support

#

why do people use ubuntu?

brave field Oct 13, 2021, 1:46 AM

#

Its kinda terrible compared to everything, might as well learn javac syntax manually and use an editor, no?

jovial tide Oct 13, 2021, 1:46 AM

#

or linux at all

#

Hmmm, well in my experience NetBeans comes close to visual studio

#

Like the compiler, not the visual interface

#

i love visual studio

jovial tide Oct 13, 2021, 1:48 AM

#

jovial tide That's an extremely unpopular opinion

btw by repetition I meant this stuff

#

i would much rather be able to just have the same file and the .exe automatically updates when the file is changed

#

That's not even a proper program

brave field Oct 13, 2021, 1:49 AM

#

I think you should set up a build script in your editor for that

jovial tide Oct 13, 2021, 1:49 AM

#

i have no idea how to do that

#

that'll come later

#

right now im just sort of getting a feel for the language

#

My tech teacher makes me do mentally help work

brave field Oct 13, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

@jovial tide How would using Netbeans help with dependency management?

jovial tide Oct 13, 2021, 1:52 AM

#

What do you mean dependency management?

#

Library files of your own?

brave field Oct 13, 2021, 1:52 AM

#

Third party libraries

#

Can it fetch things for me?

jovial tide Oct 13, 2021, 1:52 AM

#

Well you can make a project, just like visual studio

#

and import everything into the libraries

#

then use it in your code

arctic yarrow Oct 13, 2021, 1:53 AM

#

brave field Oct 13, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

ah

#

Is it using NuGet for that, or some build system orrrrr?

jovial tide Oct 13, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

I absolutely have no idea, it's been years away from programming

#

But I remember I could do everything I needed to do for university homeworks with that

#

Easier than Visual Studio

jovial tide Oct 13, 2021, 2:03 AM

@jovial tide did you study something related to programming in university?

#

Yep I studies IT Engineering in Iran, then came to Canada studied networking in a college

#

cool

#

I've never really liked programming that much, it was more of a necessary evil

#

oh

#

IT engineering covers programming and the actual hardware of computers right?

#

that sounds cool

#

oh gotta go

I've tried i3 in the past, just never really clicked with it, I'm gonna be trying bspwm and Xmonad tonight on my shitty laptop

tiling WMs are best for devs

efficient use of the whole monitor space

slim bluff Oct 14, 2021, 9:16 PM

yup

i3 was a slight pain because I have multiple monitors, getting separate workspaces for each monitor was a challenge in it

It just depends on your personal preference which is just what you get used to

digital cosmos is this laptop good https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08ZLGW774/ref=ewc_pr_img_...

It's good yeah

#

Consider buying Dell G15 and Lenovo Legion since the Strix has no mux switch

#

But this is just perfect for the 1080p monitor, and runs cooler compared to others; with Dell you get a bit more build quality and monitor (1440p), lenovo a bit more performance but this is good overall, will last longer.

digital cosmos Oct 15, 2021, 1:39 AM

so the asus is better?

jovial tide Oct 15, 2021, 1:39 AM

#

It runs very hot, the cooling solution is either not well quality controlled or not well done; or maybe it's their intention so people move from M series to X

#

Asus has a bit worse display, a little bit less performance (compared to Dell 3060), much better cooling, better price, better warranty.

digital cosmos Oct 15, 2021, 1:40 AM

#

yeah the price is really good. and it has decant specs

fervent granite Oct 15, 2021, 1:40 AM

But shouldn't you expect most laptops to run hot like that?

digital cosmos Oct 15, 2021, 1:40 AM

#

I believe it runs 144hz

jovial tide Oct 15, 2021, 1:40 AM

#

Can you get 5900H + 3070? that would be ideal.

#

Because you're losing about 5-10% on that lack of mux switch, and a 3070 model would give you room to connect it to external monitor as well.

It performs worse (in terms of 3dmark scores) than the m15 r6 even when it thermal throttles.

That laptop performs well, has TCC, but it's not gonna last long working perfectly I believe; and I didn't know

Longevity matters, you don't want a laptop that runs degrades much faster over time; that's the whole point of having good temps
Hardware degrades faster under higher temperatures.

fervent granite Oct 15, 2021, 2:15 AM

#

So then why do people complain of thermal throttling? That's supposed to be a safety mechanism?

jovial tide Oct 15, 2021, 2:16 AM

#

Thermal throttling has nothing to do with what I just said. it's like a redline for you car, it saves your engine from instantly breaking.

#

Degradation through high temps is not instant failure, but increases the rate of failure over time.
And by failure I don't mean complete failure, functioning less than optimal faster is still failure.

fervent granite Oct 15, 2021, 2:18 AM

#

Ok but those are performance scores, what does that have to do with temperature?

jovial tide Oct 15, 2021, 2:19 AM

#

Well if something throttles because of power or temperatures it will limit maximum scores of that component. whether it's cpu or gpu.

#

In the second link you can see I got a 9242 after lots of bios tinkering, unlocking the cpu oc limits, playing with intel turbo and etc while that same cpu in a better thermal condition will get 10500 score.

fervent granite Oct 15, 2021, 2:20 AM

#

Right but that's using different hardware, so we can't make any assumptions like that other than one performs better than the other

jovial tide Oct 15, 2021, 2:20 AM

#

The problem rises when you realise you're getting 11800H but as is you're getting performance of a lower tier CPU because of bad cooling design or faulty thermal heatsink/fans.

In 3DMark.com you can compare your PC to other similar ones (11800H + 3070(Notebook))

You can see almost everybody's 11800H in that top 100 list is getting more than 9200 - - the average cpu score is 9659 with majority of higher end results at 10500

i have something like 6 hard drives totaling about 40 tb, all full of various torrent stuff, and i would like to create a "virtual" network location that'd just have the contents of all of them show in one place

brave field Oct 16, 2021, 9:17 PM

#

oh hm

#

I don't think the contents of the roots of each will all show up together in one folder, you'd just have each drive show up as their own, separate folders

lost fossil Oct 16, 2021, 9:18 PM

that could probably work

#

would i be able to map that virtual location as a network drive on another pc and run a search in windows explorer?

#

rn if i need to find something, i have to rdp into my other pc and search there Weirdmonka

brave field Oct 16, 2021, 9:20 PM

#

symlinks show up just like any other folder, so all of that should work fine

#

Setting up different shares is a lot easier, if you're going to have all your drives show as different folders

#

toss another [sharename] with the path details and all in your smb.conf, and you'll be able to map it as another drive with another letter or path in explorer

haskell is interesting

main :: IO()
main = print x where
  x = 1 `add` 2

add :: Integer -> Integer -> Integer
add x y = x+y

#

this program just adds two numbers

but just calling a lambda with its arguments in an infix notation is pretty cool

I have a piece of stupid homework. as part of this homework, I have to use a value and the value minus 1 to check if the value is only divisible by 1 or itself. How do I do this within these stupid bounds?

#

To be clear, I need to use the value and the value minus 1 within the code.

brave field Oct 17, 2021, 12:40 AM

#

store the value minus 1 as a variable?

#

or use my_function(x-1) or my_array[x-1] if either of those fit?

arctic yarrow Oct 17, 2021, 12:45 AM

#

Ok, I see what it's trying to do, this is part of function recursion, so I'm trying to check all values less than or equal to value-1 until 1 to see if any of them are divisible with the original value.

#

I wonder if I can use a nested if statement inside an unconditional elseif statement.

#

I feel dumb. All I needed to do was type this:

    primeResult==1;```

#

divVal was value-1

#

but since it was recursive, I would call the function at the end of the if-elseif-else statement with
primeResult = Primechecker(value,divVal-1)

#

If you feel bad about coding, just remember there's people out there (like me) who spend up to an hour struggling with something that can be resolved with 2 lines of code.

arctic yarrow Oct 17, 2021, 5:11 AM

IMO, manufacturers should enable XMP by default based on what frequency the RAM should be running at, although I'm not sure if that would require extra engineering on the RAM module/slots.

Trying Pop_OS!. Not a favorite, but definitely worth a try for desktop. Ubuntu GNOME without Snaps.

#

if you look at the reviews, it seems that the print on the spacebar is random

#

i got a good one

#

bc you usually press the spacebar more on the left or in the middle

#

on the left i have legs and on the middle i have titty

#

and i don't press it on the right where the face is

I've got a Dell WD19TB dock that I'd like to use with my desktop and laptop interchangeably. My motherboard is a B450 Tomahawk, which doesn't support TB3. If I get a Thunderbolt PCIe card, do ya think it'd work or is the best option swapping out the entire motherboard? FeelsThinkingMan

#

Try the card and return it if it doesn't work. Will need to buy from a seller that's okay with that, though

#

Amazon, in-person stores, occasionally ebay if its coming in openbox/used condition from the start

#

entirely changing mobo and chipset sounds pretty painful in comparison

The lengths I'll go to in order to avoid two complete set ups on my desk.

#

Still seems like a better option than a KVM

Gpu, cable or mobitor?

#

This happens during boot screen, and happened when drivers weren't installed. HDMI works well.

brave field Oct 18, 2021, 5:48 PM

drivers are the only cause? Likely the monitor just doesn't like displaying whatever lower resolution its trying to output before the drivers are working
