| paultag | http://dell.com/ubuntu | 21:58 |
| jenni | [ XPS 13 Developer Edition | Dell ] - https://j.mp/1KqpsGe | 21:58 |
| paultag | dzho: IO! | 21:58 |
| andygraybeal | yea, i admit, i don't know paul :( or any of you guys really | 21:58 |
| paultag | wait a few days for the new version to drop | 21:58 |
| dzho | we all heard the Thinkpads got THEIR BUTTONS BACK right?! | 21:58 |
| paultag | yeah, these ship with F/OSS | 21:58 |
| dzho | the spec on those dells hasn't changed in approximately forever, has it? | 21:58 |
| paultag | It just changed two days ago | 21:59 |
| Unit193 | andygraybeal: Heh, that's fine, yettiman! ;) He's a big FSF fan. :) | 21:59 |
| paultag | and it's been updated a few times dzho | 21:59 |
| andygraybeal | yettiman?? | 21:59 |
| dzho | also, haha, 12.04 | 21:59 |
| paultag | 14.04 on the new version | 21:59 |
| paultag | erm, 14.10 | 21:59 |
| dzho | eww, one wants LTS | 21:59 |
| dzho | ain't nobody got time for short support cycles | 22:00 |
| Unit193 | andygraybeal: I use that in a good sense. Last pic I saw, you were big, lots of hair, and your kid strapped to you. | 22:00 |
| andygraybeal | aaah yes!! | 22:00 |
| andygraybeal | nothing has changed, i live in the woods | 22:00 |
| Unit193 | \o/ | 22:00 |
| andygraybeal | i'm fairly short, but well stocked :) | 22:01 |
| Unit193 | Oh? Hmm. | 22:01 |
| andygraybeal | not muscle i assure you | 22:01 |
| Unit193 | Hah. :P | 22:01 |
| Unit193 | How tall? | 22:01 |
| andygraybeal | 5'6" | 22:01 |
| andygraybeal | on a good day | 22:01 |
| Unit193 | Oh. | 22:01 |
| dzho | I aftermarket installed 160GB SSD on this thinkpad twist a while back, and feel very constrained by it. | 22:02 |
| andygraybeal | dzho, constrained space-wise? | 22:02 |
| dzho | yup | 22:02 |
| andygraybeal | speed is nice though,eh? | 22:02 |
| dzho | the speed is fine | 22:02 |
| dzho | mostly the battery has a useful lifetime without me having to tweak it six ways from sunday | 22:02 |
| dzho | not the massive use times I hear about from others but it works for me | 22:03 |
| dzho | the lenovos also have this Power Bridge thing going on. | 22:03 |
| dzho | two batteries, so you can change one on the fly | 22:03 |
| dzho | one is built in non-field-replaceable. | 22:04 |
| dzho | so, it gets charged first and used last, so it's always good to go. | 22:04 |
| dzho | I don't have that, but it sounds good. | 22:04 |
| andygraybeal | thanks for the thoughts guys. i sent off an email to my friend. | 22:05 |
| andygraybeal | so this multiarch thing took my by surprise :) | 22:10 |
| andygraybeal | it's been around since 12.04 ? | 22:10 |
| andygraybeal | i just found out about it this past week | 22:10 |
| andygraybeal | i feel awesome. | 22:10 |
| dzho | andygraybeal: welcome to my version of the cutting edge http://xkcd.com/606/ | 22:11 |
| jenni | [ xkcd: Cutting Edge ] - http://xkcd.com | 22:11 |
| dzho | ;-) | 22:11 |
| dzho | I don't even remember if I've started Portal 2. | 22:11 |
| dzho | I totally haven't finished it. | 22:11 |
| dzho | nor Half-Life | 22:11 |
| dzho | (Half-Life 2 I guess) | 22:11 |
| andygraybeal | haha nice | 22:12 |
| dzho | as for multi-arch, apparently Debian-based and Redhat-based handle it differently. | 22:12 |
| dzho | grr. | 22:12 |
| dzho | I think I found a multi-arch bug in gforth | 22:12 |
| dzho | haven't been motivated enough to figure out if there's a fix in a newer version, document what I've found, try to find a fix, yadda yadda. | 22:13 |
| dzho | usually when I find bugs like this its because I'm exploring a new feature, and hence, something I don't understand in the first place. | 22:13 |
| dzho | like, when I was going to play with aplus, and found a bug in the 64-bit version. | 22:14 |
| dzho | andygraybeal: I guess what I'm saying is I am only just now coming to grips with multi-arch, because I've been forced to :-) | 22:14 |
| andygraybeal | nice :) | 22:47 |
| andygraybeal | i think i followered your meandering | 22:47 |
| dzho | :-) | 22:52 |
