new mini itx build... or m2 mac mini?
nieblas008 replied to BigBluester's topic in New Builds and Planning
It does. If you install Xcode you do get clang, but it's like an old version of C++. During my last lessons on Object Oriented Programming on university, I had a few issues on virtual functions, operator overload, and things like that. It was just a matter of downloading and setting up a newer version, but it was not an obvious thing. The errors were also referencing that I was on an ARM processor, and something was not able to get compiled. -

Python is very easy, C++ is a bit more tricky because you have to install compilers and set everything up, it's just not as simple as on Windows. I recall that when you make headers, I was using some specific features of a C++ version that did not install automatically. Again it's not the end of the world, I did get it working in the end. If you ever have any issues you could always hit me up. -
I'm thinking to pull double duty on it, but if I take that route, I will want to connect to it remotely and through VS Code use that machine, so I think it will be a lot of hassle. But yeah, it is something I'm considering, just seeing if there are other options worth checking out.
-
I mean, that is an option, but I'm not considering to switch to Windows. I'd be making this program for someone else, so I'd just need to work on Windows stuff until I finish this project.

I might have misunderstood you. Is this build for a Minecraft server only, or are you using it as a Minecraft PC and a server? If it's as a gaming PC, it's really good bang for the buck, but if it's only for a Minecraft server, you can find a 30 USD PC used online. Matter of fact I just bought one today.

I got a M1 MacBook Air and I got an idea for a Windows program I'd like to develop. I've been thinking about using C++ since it's the one I'm most familiar with and the Internet says it's easy to build GUIs on it. However, Visual Studio 2022 for Mac does not have support for C++ projects, and that's as far as I know. Is there an easy way to create projects for Windows? All I want is something that will allow me to program a Windows app with GUI, no console project. I don't really care about the language, but I want to end up with a .exe. Maybe with a program like JetBrain's CLion, or maybe using Java, I honestly don't know. Any suggestions?

That ITX board looks great, but I don't think it will have as much power as you desire. I honestly think the M2 Mac Mini would be awesome. Of course, a lot of things depend on what you are willling to sacrifice, since both options you mention will have some drawbacks. Personally, I own an M1 MacBook Air and I love it, but it has given me a few headaches. For instance, if I want to work with C++, creating headers and compiling is a bit tricky. Also even though Apple Silicon has a lot of compatibility, there are still the occasional niche programs you can't run on ARM. All those issues can be relatively easy to solve with a free VM software like UTM, but it takes a lot of space, something you lack on the base model. I can only mention the drawbacks I've found on my machine, but I can also tell you it can be a great experience, I hope you find this helpful. -
There is a piece of software on a PC that has no info about it on the internet. We need to clone the drive, but seems like that software is locked to the specific drive or PC, I don't really know for sure. We have a theory that if we change the hard disk's serial number, it might work again. Note that I'm not talking about the volume's serial number, that one we know how to change. The hard disk's serial number is a longer string of characters and maybe numbers. Does anyone happen to know about a software where we can change that?

Computer does not seem to even post, just one beep
nieblas008 replied to nieblas008's topic in Troubleshooting
How likely would it be that a virus corrupted the entire disc or something? I don't think I can even boot to BIOS, and turns out it has Windows 7. Even though it's an offline machine, I don't really trust WIndiws 7 due to its age. Btw this computer I was told it's being used on a factory, to monitor traffic of some AGVs (not too relevant, but the reason for using Windows 7 is because it was on 24/7 for about 5 years). -
Hey guys, I have a computer from my uncle that I'm trying to fix. So far what I've found is that the computer only beeps once every time I turn it on. It does not seem to post to bios or show any output. What is weird is that only one time, it did actually show something in the monitor, it was an attempt to do a safe boot, but it couldn't since "the boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible" (0xc000000f). I can't seem to find what that would mean, does anyone happen to know where I could even begin to troubleshoot? I already reseated all cables but nothing works and I haven't found articles of much use. Edit: the mobo is a Gigabyte GA-H81M-H Rev 2.1

Yeah well I know most people wouldn't consider it wrong, but since most of this services are "you own a license, not the content", that's where my question comes from. I'm just starting to build my movie collection so I only have like 4 movies bought. Wouldn't mind buying them again, as long as where I buy them, I can download them, you know, for personal use and move them from device to device. My example with Apple TV is that I cannot move them to a Windows or Android device, or a Plex server.

Recently I came across LTT's video on how to setup a Plex server and rewatched (I watch the videos daily as if it was a religion). This time I got curious and started to wonder how I could put all my media on a drive. I watch almost exclusively movies I buy on iTunes, so no streaming services usually. I know that there is a download button on the Apple TV app but that would only work for my Mac and not for other devices. I don't know much about copyright and things like that, but my only purpose would be personal, to use MY bought content on Apple TV on MY devices. Now, question is: is it ok to look to download content that way? And if not, is there another store where I could download actual files? Again please keep in mind I have little to no knowledge about this topic, that's why I'm asking beforehand, thanks.
