| ibeardslee | chilts: that Dell XPS 13 "Project Sputnik" is a bit silly really | 01:09 |
|---|---|---|
| ajmitch | fairly nice hardware though | 01:09 |
| ibeardslee | more expensive than the legacy OS version and Dell is still to retarded to work out how to sell things in NZ | 01:09 |
| ibeardslee | "developer edition" with 1366x768? | 01:10 |
| ibeardslee | after Linus' rant over laptop resolutions | 01:10 |
| ajmitch | maybe it's just me, but I manage with the same resolution on the zareason machine | 01:11 |
| ajmitch | I do use 2x22" monitors on my desk at work though | 01:11 |
| ibeardslee | yeap I can deal with the UltraLap resolution as well .. I would have liked it higher though | 01:13 |
| ajmitch | sure, 1920x1080 would have been nice, I think the asus ultrabook has that? | 01:14 |
| chilts | yeah, it's stupid that it's higher in price than with the windowstax version | 01:14 |
| ojwb | nothing screams cutting edge technology like "sputnik" | 01:14 |
| ibeardslee | trying to find specs to see if it goes over 8GB RAM | 01:15 |
| ajmitch | very best soviet russia has to offer! | 01:15 |
| ojwb | "Distro augmented with the necessary hardware drivers" - guess that translates as "almost everything needs a proprietary driver" | 01:19 |
| mwhudson | guys | 01:25 |
| mwhudson | be happy maybe? | 01:25 |
| ojwb | bah humbug | 01:26 |
| ojwb | poking further, it seems like it might actually mean they fixed the annoying bugs in the drivers | 01:27 |
| ibeardslee | mwhudson: yeah true. | 01:50 |
| ibeardslee | of course you haven't heard me giving the Dell guy an earful on the phone about the availablity of linux laptops in NZ | 01:50 |
| ibeardslee | .. or lack there of | 01:50 |
| ibeardslee | I've told him at least twice I don't want to talk to him until members of the public can buy laptops with linux preinstaled | 01:51 |
| ibeardslee | I think elky has been entertained by that | 01:54 |
| elky | aww. did that happen again? | 01:56 |
| ajmitch | heh | 01:56 |
| ajmitch | elky: I suppose you work on a different floor & can hear him from there? | 01:56 |
| elky | ajmitch, yeah, we've been playing musical desks here | 01:57 |
| elky | ask derailed how many times i've moved desk in the past month. it's confusing the poor guy | 01:57 |
| ajmitch | a new meaning for agile development | 01:58 |
| elky | heh | 01:58 |
| elky | ajmitch, i used to be on the same floor and could hear him ranting, but now i'm 5 floors up | 01:59 |
| ajmitch | can you still hear him ranting? | 01:59 |
| elky | only when he walks past still muttering | 01:59 |
| * ibeardslee crosses fingers | 03:33 | |
| ibeardslee | yay remote update & reboot worked | 03:41 |
