[06:20:16] Wooooooo fixed my monitor, apparently the power button broke off of the plastic frame with all the buttons on it....nothing a little tape wouldn't fix.

[12:14:29] ...I think so, let me try again [12:16:21] Deddly, well thanks for embarassing me in front of the entire channel [12:16:52] Mwahahaha [12:17:03] ...my C: drive has 32 GB left [12:17:15] Actually, that's an embarrassment to software engineers. [12:17:40] It's shocking how things STILL need to be restarted to fix problems, even things that are based on Linux [12:18:21] I'm not a software engineer, I'm a game developer, the difference being that the standards are even lower [12:20:40] ...at least timing-wise it's even possible that it broke when I restarted it the last time [12:22:52] actually I exhausted the battery last evening, and from today morning it didn't work [12:23:03] maybe I should replace the battery [12:23:36] also the cheap double side tape I used to put on the new screen is coming off, which could endanger the ribbon cables [12:24:32] Deddly: well, if the service hangs you just have to restart that service. But vendors don't give an easy interface to do this, so rebooting is just more convenient [12:26:23] except that rebooting turns off the chinese keyboard app somehow [12:26:45] although I still don't know nearly enough chinese for that to be a real problem [12:28:14] also lets not talk about android. It's based on Linux, but usually very old kernels, highly patched and not maintained anymore and nobody cares about getting those patches into the real linux kernel [12:28:33] it's a mess that should get burnt to the ground [12:29:48] It also gets slow and clunky after a year or so. [12:33:17] that's because of all those services from the apps you install [12:33:29] they run in the background and take what they can get [12:36:42] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [12:37:04] Mat2ch, but I experience the same thing even when not installing new apps. [12:37:52] Judge_Dedd, because what you have on there by default gets updated over time with less and less attention paid to performance [12:38:15] GlassYuri, auto-updates are switched off [12:38:47] Also, every time Windows10 updates, the settings are all reset and something always breaks, which bugs me [12:38:49] a lot [12:39:44] Case in point: close laptop lid suspends the system. But I REPEATEDLY tell it that close the lid should suspend after 15 minutes. Which works until the next update. [12:40:23] Deddly, we were kinda talking about android, but nice to have another piece of anecdotal evidence about win10 being the worst OS in existence [12:40:45] Yes, I jumped from one OS to the other. [12:41:02] Honestly, the only OS I ever actually likes was Workbench 3.1 [12:41:06] liked* [12:41:44] I'd run AROS in a heartbeat if it was compatible with things I need to run [12:45:51] well, I'm a linux user for almost 20 years now and my phone is running neither android nor iOS. I'm happy. ;) [12:47:01] Mat2ch, which distro? [12:48:40] Éb4 [12:51:06] Ooh! Mint 19 is out [12:52:03] I unfortunately lack the disk space for a dual-boot system [12:52:08] Might have to fix that [12:55:03] Deddly: Debian and SailfishOs [12:55:28] Hmm. SailfishOS is new to me [12:56:06] For tablets, eh? [12:56:11] and Smartphones [12:56:53] Anything that uses Aurora Borealis as an attractive image at the top of the first page gets my vote. [12:57:51] it's a finnish company [12:58:04] I guess they have enough days in the year they can watch. :D [12:58:45] Mat2ch, can it run Android apps? [12:59:25] through alien dalvik, which is a proprietory thing from Jolla, yes [12:59:40] but you need to have a device that's directly supported by Jolla. [13:00:17] There are community ports for other devices, but you can't get alien dalvik for it [13:00:33] http://www.myriadgroup.com/en/products/device-solutions/mobile-software/alien-dalvik/ [13:01:02] hmmm [13:01:40] so, if you've got a Sony Xperia X you're fine. [13:02:03] I get the feeling I'm unlikely to find a device to suit me that they support. [13:02:11] It's already hard enough with Android [13:02:30] well, I hate to admit it, but it's not for everyone [13:03:03] I have a device now where I have fully root access and which acts just like a normal computer to me [13:04:16] If I ever look for a phone it must be rugged and completely waterproof (not just a resistant coating). Just that requirement severely limits my choices [13:05:49] what about aftermarket cases? [13:06:33] Meh... I think a smartphone+case would be clunkier than the same phone designed to be rugged from the outset [13:06:53] Could be wrong, but that's what my instinct tells me [13:08:42] I can't tell. [13:09:05] A waterproof case doesn't have to be huge [13:09:13] it's just a shell around it [13:09:34] have you seen the caterpillar phones? [13:11:18] http://www.xperiablog.net/2016/06/13/is-the-sony-xperia-x-secretly-water-resistant/ uhm [13:11:27] I wouldn't trust that, but, uhm, what [13:11:41] Mat2ch, I own the Cat S60. I love it :) [13:12:43] oh, the xperiaX performance is waterproof. I wonder if SailfishX would run on it [13:13:07] As it happens, I'm not actually looking for a new phone. [13:13:17] But when I do, I know it will be difficult to find one [13:13:35] The S60 will hopefully last me a few years yet [13:13:44] I had the old B15 for 4 years [13:14:01] If it just have to be waterproof, it looks like more and more companies are making them [13:14:09] Still works fine, but so little RAM means it can't run anything these days [13:14:32] *has to be [13:17:05] well, I just need a browser, a mail client and calendar and contacts sync on my phone... [13:17:36] so, very little ram needed. Except for the browser. Modern websites are so cluttered :| [13:17:42] True [13:18:07] Plus Viber and WhatApp and the B15 is already giving low RAM warnings [13:18:45] well, that's funny, I just saw the Viber app in the app store [13:18:51] but what's B15? [13:43:22] Mat2ch, https://www.gsmarena.com/cat_b15-5985.php [13:45:42] LOL, on the forum, someone just suggested calling the Kerbal currency "Billcoins" [13:49:01] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [13:49:55] Ah, I thought B15 was an app... [13:50:20] "Drop-to-concrete resistance from up to 1.8m" that's impressive [13:50:32] Same as my S60 [13:50:47] But the B15 took the drop better because rubber [14:22:22] so, I tried livestreaming right now [14:22:45] next I will try shooting my PC, router and smartphone with a howitzer at point blank range [14:25:14] did you know that crime syndicates and terrorist groups use unresponsive UI and slow connections to deliberately suppress the moral instincts of their henchmen [14:27:56] GlassYuri, have you tried restarting the PC, router, smartphone and howitzer? ;) [14:29:58] the PC was working, and there seemed to be no issue with upstream [14:31:01] Restarting fixes ALL PROBLEMS [14:31:44] smartphone didn't work after restarting twice, it even stopped recognizing the sim card [14:32:17] when I got it working finally the connection was just too slow and the website too heavy [14:33:07] plus the browser was hanging to the point that I could enter an URL and it would just drop it and do nothing [14:33:43] at that point I legit punched the phone in the face, which I somehow managed to do without breaking my own hand so that was nice [14:35:19] at least twitcasting lets me download the videos now, which means I can at least find out how bad the audio is [14:38:11] I can hear a lot of humming noise but not myself [14:39:02] Oh noes, Zarthus was hiding in here all along [14:39:15] Quick, erase everything you said about him. [14:39:59] doesnt work like that :) [14:40:10] CURSE YOU IRC! [14:41:32] i don't care that much about what you say at all :) [14:41:41] i know it's either a compliment or you're wrong [14:42:12] though i do take constructive feedback coupled with a monetary contribution [14:42:18] https://guggy.com/media/jP4asfkGbS866Xf.gif [16:57:04] Fluburtur: https://imgur.com/gallery/82MGfB7 [16:57:43] I kinda want to build one fo those [17:01:15] hehe [17:10:50] I thought so :D [17:15:34] also it's Wednesday and he keeps us waiting :D [17:26:36] https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2018/nasa-s-tess-spacecraft-continues-testing-prior-to-first-observations [17:45:09] there was no update on monday either [17:49:58] go tess go [20:58:55] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Dman979' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [22:11:14] Can someone tell me the prefix of FAR_0_15_9_1_Liepmann.zip RealChute_v1.4.5.zip in CKAN/downloads? Maybe ckan will accept them. [22:12:01] Such as FF1A6D76 in FF1A6D76-VenStockRevamp-v1.9.6.zip [22:17:04] #kspmodding [22:17:06] woops [22:18:59] That might help, thx :).
