Is "turn it off and on again" an actual solution to many problems IT pros have to solve for people? I typically roll my eyes at that response, but they deal with so many clueless boomers and third-worlders it's occurred to me that maybe it is a frequent fix.

Before restarting the whole system, try just restarting the app that seems to be causing the problem. Or if it's a particular browser tab whose obnoxious "web application" is acting up, close the tab and reopen the site in a fresh tab (reloading the tab might not be enough to "clear" the memory associated with it).

Sometimes programs will have bugs which don't cause complete failure of the program, but still puts it in an unexpected state. The developers might have coded the program well enough that it's robust enough to keep working in the most part in that state, but it might still have some issues here and there. Modern operating systems are very good at separating the memory that one program uses from being accessible from other programs, so nowadays if one program has issues, it won't affect the behavior of other programs 99% of the time, so just quitting and restarting the program should suffice to make the program go away. But in the cases where the bug is in the operating system itself, restarting the entire computer might be necessary.
 
Throwing this in here as I'm curious. Is there a way to prevent images and videos loading in both desktop and mobile web browsers? Globally preferred but farms only is acceptable.

Only because I'm going to be stuck with =<3G speeds for a few months so I don't want to waste 5 minutes loading some eye gouging fur fags OC while looking at them sperging in a thread.

Heard Firefox mobile with Ublock origin is a way to go but faggots never explain how to.

Type about:config in the address bar.

Ignore the warnings.

Search for permissions.default.image

Switch the value to "2"

Restart firefox.

Most videos won't load if you turn off javascript, but turning it off breaks some sites. Farms actually works pretty well with javascript off.

about:config

Search for javascript.enabled

Change it to false

Restart Firefox

Tried this on Firefox mobile and just got a blank page.
Is there a similar configuration that I could add to ublock or the brave mobile browser?

Yeah, I looked into it and it seems all the mobile browsers are gimped in this regard. On desktop, you can block features like javascript and images for specific sites in Chrome/Brave/Edge, but not on mobile. I tried to access about:config on Firefox Mobile and I got a blank page as well. I swear it worked before. Weird.
 
Trying to help my kid sell this card (Gigabyte Radeon RX 570 Gaming 4GB) that he got as a gift, but the prices online seem to vary wildly between eBay, online smaller retailers, Reddit, etc. his is unused/unopened.

Can anyone suggest a way of either viewing recent sales of that card or where they’d begin? Thanks
Edit: Many thanks, @Quioui !

Let javascript run like normal, do the image thing in Firefox then go to media.navigator.video.enabled and set it to false.
 
Are there any "math for CS" books for non-calculus and non-discrete-math code monkeys like myself?

Trig was fun once I got over the novelty of it, but I can only learn math by brute forcing my way through it. Memorizing everything "study asian" style and doing hundreds of problems is all I got, and that doesn't work for calculus or discrete math.

If you're "non-discrete-math" I've got some bad news for you.

Agreed. However I need to know wtf someone is saying when they post something in the notations that people who got a masters or phd like to use rather than English or pseudocode.

I find it odd that many people who believe that 2 years of math is necessary to read a programming book also never criticize the American practice of exclusively employing H1b visa workers from India who bribed their way to a masters from a Bengali diploma mill. It's obviously a social status thing - using snobbery and foreign slaves to keep your local competition groveling at your feet.

Why even have a nation if you so readily accept obvious lies to justify betraying it?

If you're starting at the beginning, maybe try something like this:
http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~wgilbert/Books/MathThinking.html (yeah I know it looks stupid)
You don't need to go through the whole thing, but even halfway would take you through an introduction to proof-based mathematics and the various notations and conventions used.

Do you know of any decent books that are on libgen.is or b-ok.cc?

Trying to clean up 5 year old android phones, and 60% of the memory is just "System and various"

Is there a way to salvage without doing a full wipe?

Are you reselling? There's a guy on 7chan.org/jew who made like $300 a pop installing hardened Andoid distros on used phones he rooted and selling them to what I assume were drug dealers or political extremists on craigslist.

The Teach Yourself CS website suggests lecture notes from a professor at NYU as a starting point for learning discrete mathematics.

For future reference, you can always sort by lowest buyout price and then undercut them.
