Sorry if this is in the wrong topic but I have windows 10 installed on my laptop with Realtek audio drivers up to date but no audio manager. All of the sudden, the audio is playing from both headphones and speakers. The computer does not detect the headphones but there is audio coming out of them. Can anypody tell me how to disable the speakers? Thanks.

I'm using the random game play of Tetris as a simplified approach to model more complicated systems. Instead of starting with zero rows of blocks, I start with nine rows as shown in the attached photo. Every game starts with a different degree of initial difficulty based on random starting position of each block and the placement of open spaces. I have a method for calculating this difficulty based on several factors. Each time a block falls and is put into position the difficultly level will change. I set ten sub-goals based when the difficulty level falls below a certain number. I want a numerical display to be able to track the time it takes to reach each sub-goal. I'm…

Has anyone else looked into car alarms with expiring code? I want a car alarm that augments its rolling code with code expiration. It might not be an expensive feature—it seems less like an added feature and more like a security update to the code. Theives can intercept and replicate the signal from your remote key, so your keyfob communicates with the "brain" of the alarm system through a special dialogue called "rolling code" or "code hopping". Rolling code systems expire each used code and generate a new code for the next access attempt. Unfortuantely rolling code is no longer enough, and expiring code is the change that will close the hole exposed by Kamkar's …

*This article is about the brain, but hey, the brain is a computer!* Node data structure (Lemme prime you a little bit: this is about the brain.) 1. Conceptual data Example: [Number space] 4 [Object space] leg animal [Attribute space] cute soft [Action space] move eat I think by now, most people can start to imagine a specific object using the ideas above. In my case, it's a cat. But how does it work? The theory is that when an idea fires it causes connected ideas to fire. The level of activation is somewhat lingering and cumulative. Process of identifying objects: [4-legged] fires, ( node 4 and leg can be connected to a single node that is 4-legged ) [animal] f…

Let's suppose that we have a six sided dice game and we are generating a random number. Generally random number generation is tied to the system clock. However what if we had the randomly generated number query a randomly sorted database with six values? At any point in time the state of the database will be unknown. It could just be an octal number stored in memory the user can't access all we would do is add and overflow whenever random is used.

Hello everyone Trying to download a programme, I encountered a very persistent Chinese virus which made doing practically anything impossible. When I came back from lunch, I saw that it had been installing about 10 programmes and a browser which would spontaneously open itself and redirect me to other stuff that would be downloaded and installed. It also hijacked Google Chrome in that way that it would automatically change my startup page to some Chinese website (fanli90.cn) (to be sure: don't click it or don't go to it for your own safety). The acute phase is over: I've ran several antimalware programmes and have managed to delete most malicious files and pro…

As anyone who has any HLE Programming experience can attest to, Computer Programming is about as close as one can get to true artificial intelligence communication, with the main loop functioning as the processing of "needs" and "desires" of the program itself (as they're executed based on the determinization of certain variables), and as similar as some programming languages are they tend to focus on the mathematical side of such tasks but showing the programmer the text representation that is easier for them to deal with instead of the actual bits used to represent them (which the computer sees.) For example a variable will be declared (and it must be declared, and in i…

I am using Java.awt.robot task automation.

Keep in mind that I am atheistic. (One need not believe in science) Furthermore, I have zero beliefs, especially as the inventor of a phenomenon called "non-beliefism". NOTE: In my prior post, I had introduced that humans were "minimally capable gods" (not the religious omniscient type), using science, without actually first stating why gods were scientifically redefinable. ~~~~~~~~~~~ HEADING A ~~~~~~~~~~~ Why is the archaic mythical god concept scientifically redefinable? In segment A, here, I list a few steps describing why the archaic mythical god concept is scientifically redefinable: (1) One shall recall that humanity had…

Hello everyone Ran into a new problem formatting the thesis I will be writing: The distance before the chapter heading "CHAPTER 7" respectively "CHAPTER 8" to the border of the page, is not equal. Why is that? In the paragraph options, the distance is equal. So why is there a discrepancy in distance? It classically happens in chapter headings after a new part. So what I do is, I make a new section on an odd page and there I put, in the middle of the page (perfectly aligned in the vertical middle): "PART I INTRODUCTION" Whereafter I insert another section ending with start on a new odd page so that the chapter will start on an odd page. All p…

Hello, scienceforums.net In an effort to quit using my expensive laptop exclusively for video games, I want to replace said hobby with a healthier one. I would like to practice with any software, that once mastered, would yield any kind of profit (economic, artistic, anything that rewards me for my well spent time). I was thinking about multivariable statistics, or mechanical simulations (SAS and ANSYS respectively) but I am just in my freshmen year of Mechatronics engineering (No Vectorial Calculus, Differential equations math courses taken yet). I am not patient with art, but I am willing to learn 3D rendering software if recommended. I love the TV Show…

Hello everyone While perparing the layout for my future thesis, I was presetting table and caption layout. Problem: when I insert a table at a random point in the text and then make it align by means of Table Properties > Around > Positioning ... > Vertical: Position: Bottom - Relative to: Margin; then the table correctly places itself at the bottom of the page, where it belongs. Should I then, however, insert a caption, then the caption will not appear above the table (despite selection of appearance of the caption above the table), but it appears in the text where I stood when inserting the table. How can I solve this problem? Thanks! …

So I've been having problems playing Star Wars Empire At War on my Windows 10 Asus, and I'd like to ask how to fix a missing binkw32.dll and mss32.dll issue I've had with loading the game. Please give me support, it's the only game I could afford because I wanted my own apartment so me and my fiance could live together.

Does anybody know if CPanel (Enkompass) is still available for use with Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacentre? Also is it possible to use one machine as both the primary and secondary dns nameserver??

I want to preface this by saying that this is no longer a current problem I'm experiencing, it's just something I'm curious about. OK, so a few years ago, after I was lying in bed at 3 or 4 A.M. the computer turned on by itself. I found it weird, but I just got up, turned it off and got back to sleep. When I woke up, I found it turned on. After the first few days, I realized the computer would turn on several times during the day when there was thunder and lighting outside. I realize there is a connection between a thunderstorm and electricity, but I was still stumped as to how this was happening. The more time went on, I realized that it would turn on whenever i…

I feel like the answer should be no, because if you could program a model of say a chair that has more information contained in the particles than an actual chair, then you'd be able to program a computer that could use that extra information to program a computer with even more information than the computer that contains it and ad nauseum and paradox, but obviously you can't have an infinite amount of information in a finite space...or can you? I don't think so, but I don't really see anything proving that from being the case. You could argue some conservation law, but information itself isn't dictated by the same rules as an object that you pick up with your hands, so m…

favorite Hi, I would have a theoretical question, about the Detector part of the SIFT algorithm, which as it is explained by D. Lowe in his paper, used the DoG to detect keypoints in an input image. Problem formulation: Let x be my original image, and let y be a 2*scaled version of x. in the SIFT algorithm: I don't understand how the SIFT detector can detect a same given keypoint from image x in image y. I don't understand how the 'scale space' DoG pyramid is used exacley to achieve this 'scale invariance'. Please note that I have watched quite a few videos , e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0wqePj4Mx0&t=1s and read…

Currently trying to learn some C in my spare time. I wanted to try creating a https server with winsock.

Hey friends, So I started programming about 2003-05 when I was learning HTML I was only in 7th and 8th grade at that point I just always loved it. Then I continued in high school my school only offered 2 C++ Classes that was in 07 & 08. Fast forward I graduated High School in 2009 and went to college for computer science. I did 2 years in that major learned 3 semesters worth of JavaScript with BlueJay. Unfortunately I can't remember any of it because I switched majors to something totally different because I hated the department and teachers. Nothing against anyone but I had 5 semesters of heavy accented teachers and wasn't really learning anything. I digress bac…
