| awilkins | My swanky metal-framed gaming mouse is failing me because amongst all that "premium" they only had room for a leaf switch for the middle button. | 08:24 |
| awilkins | Have dug out my bog standard £10 Microsoft Wheelmouse Optical | 08:25 |
| awilkins | Middle button is a microswitch | 08:25 |

| directhex | use a mono font then | 10:53 |
| bigcalm | I can confirm that looks silly in xchat with Ubuntu font (not mono) | 10:59 |
| directhex | who uses irc on a non-mono font? *silly* | 11:00 |

| awilkins | Steam controller on Linux : so far, odd but interesting | 11:20 |
| awilkins | Registers as 5 input devices | 11:20 |
| awilkins | One mouse, one keyboard, one other HID, and two other inputs | 11:20 |
| zmoylan-pi | typing emails now a challenge :-) | 11:20 |
| awilkins | At first I thought the right touchpad was way oversensitive | 11:21 |
| awilkins | But it may have been because I had a meathook on it when I plugged the cable in | 11:21 |
| awilkins | Because it clicks when you move, it was sounding like a demented geiger counter that responded to my personal electric field | 11:22 |
| awilkins | Replugged it and it's no longer mental | 11:22 |
| bigcalm | 1st weirdness found | 11:53 |
| bigcalm | The Steam Link is displaying my whole desktop. That is 3 monitors worth | 11:53 |
| bigcalm | So the big picture mode screen is not actually taking up the full screen | 11:53 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: hahahaha | 11:53 |
| bigcalm | Maybe it'll fair better when I reboot into Windows after work | 11:54 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: do you only have it on one screen then? | 11:55 |
| bigcalm | davmor2: yes. Remember that of my 3 screens, the middle one is rotated | 11:55 |
| bigcalm | This gives a very weird desktop res | 11:55 |
| bigcalm | I was expecting only one screen to be streamed to the TV | 11:56 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: yeah it is possibly just streaming x you can ofcourse just turn the other screens off I guess | 11:58 |
| bigcalm | All unexpected | 11:58 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: as in, in the settings rather than physically | 11:58 |
| bigcalm | I'll try streaming from my laptop, that has just the 1 screen :) | 11:58 |

| diplo | More resources etc, can't see them dropping support for other os's | 12:50 |
| diplo | although who knows | 12:50 |
| bigcalm | Wonder if they will push in Windows host support | 12:52 |
| bigcalm | Doubt it though | 12:52 |

| daftykins | aww c'mon | 13:04 |
| popey | i liked it | 13:04 |
| daftykins | :D | 13:04 |

| daftykins | yaaay \o/ | 13:04 |
| diplo | hehe | 13:05 |
| diplo | Best AV for windows now ( cheap or free ) | 13:05 |
| popey | http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/10/windows-10-upgrade-installing-automatically-on-some-windows-7-8-systems/ | 13:06 |
| popey | oof | 13:06 |
| diplo | MSE is supposedly rubbish now | 13:06 |
| daftykins | yeah i've been fighting that at clients recently | 13:06 |
| diplo | Yeah we were talking about that a couple of weeks ago | 13:06 |
| daftykins | i'd deleted and hidden the 'get windows 10' update, but the little blighter is sneaking its' way back on | 13:06 |
| zmoylan-pi | install win10 before win10 installs you | 13:07 |
| zmoylan-pi | i belive ms has apologised for this flamingo up, they didn't say if they were going to help people roll back to the os they want though | 13:10 |
| popey | stock answer is "restore your backup" as it should be | 13:11 |
| daftykins | the way i've seen it so far, a user would have to go to the windows update program and hit ok with 'windows 10' selected to install | 13:11 |
| daftykins | in fact, even on patch tuesday it sneakily keeps all the patches unchecked and just the windows 10 item ticked | 13:11 |
| zmoylan-pi | does restore your back up restore the recovery partition to it's pre win10 state? | 13:11 |
| awilkins | I think it stores your old winders in a c:\old_winders folder | 13:19 |
| daftykins | yep ^ | 13:20 |
| daftykins | pretty much the whole original C: just gets moved in | 13:20 |
| daftykins | ooh-err this puts a dampener on my plans for Spain - http://arstechnica.co.uk/business/2015/10/bbc-begins-blocking-vpn-access-to-iplayer/ | 13:21 |
| zmoylan-pi | i'm sure someone has coded up an alternative workaround already :-) | 13:22 |
| awilkins | Your plans for Spain were to watch TV? | 13:22 |
| awilkins | SENORITAS | 13:23 |
| awilkins | WINE, FOOD AND SENORITAS | 13:23 |
| zmoylan-pi | while sitting by pool using tablet for geek cred :-) | 13:23 |
| daftykins | awilkins: clients holiday home, my thoughts were the same as to why he wants to watch TV and not just enjoy the place :P | 13:24 |
| daftykins | hmm looks like it might just be common VPN providers, it's still working fine for me VPN'ing through my VPS with digitalocean | 13:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | they are getting better at cracking down on vpns all the time, you'd hate to have to rustle up a workaround when you sit down to watch some eastenders... | 13:26 |
| awilkins | I can route things through my home router I supose | 13:30 |
| awilkins | 6Mbit/s is enough for basic streaming right? | 13:31 |
| awilkins | Even big pretty full SD DVB-T streams are only like 15Mbit/s | 13:31 |
| daftykins | our problem down here is a dynamic IP, i don't fancy relying on something through the home too | 13:33 |
| daftykins | so i'm gonna try it with this digitalocean VPS to start with | 13:33 |
| daftykins | worked just now from here at least, with the iplayer website | 13:34 |
| daftykins | my challenge is to come up with something easy to use that could show the live streams ideally | 13:34 |
| daftykins | ah excellent found a working addon with Kodi | 13:43 |
| daftykins | wow impressive quality too | 13:44 |
| diddledan | lol @ ubuntu podcast - "apparently the reason I was so bad at reading was because I couldn't see anything" | 13:48 |

| popey | he loves portal | 14:16 |
| popey | would be fun to play 2 player | 14:16 |
| bigcalm | Yus | 14:16 |
| bigcalm | I'd like to try that again some time | 14:16 |
| popey | +1 | 14:16 |
| daftykins | mmm 'tis fun that | 14:16 |
| awilkins | Free Portal2 from steam controller? | 14:45 |
| * awilkins is going to reboot and play Rocket League | 14:45 | |
| awilkins | Since they gave it away with the controller I'm presuming that it plays really nicely on it | 14:45 |
| awilkins | Just as soon as my Windows VM stops installing upgrade | 14:46 |
| awilkins | Updates | 14:46 |
| awilkins | *sigh* | 14:46 |
| daftykins | you need to boot it more often so it can do its' thing ;) | 14:52 |
| popey | my windows 10 machine wakes up randomly | 14:52 |
| popey | i do wonder if it's doing that to check for updates | 14:52 |
| awilkins | Probs | 14:53 |
| awilkins | And report it's collected findings to MS | 14:54 |
| awilkins | The ones it gathers while it's not running | 14:54 |
| awilkins | Because it's that good at it | 14:54 |
| diddledan | popey, my dad's is doing that, too | 14:54 |
| diddledan | problem is they don't seem to turn off again afterwards | 14:55 |
| diddledan | it would be ok to start a desktop to check for updates and then turn off again, but a laptop not plugged-in AND not turning off again after is a pain | 14:55 |
| diddledan | (some folk have their systems to not idle to sleep because they often leave it doing big tasks) | 14:56 |
| popey | oh mine does | 14:57 |
| popey | not on/off though, I'm talking about waking from suspend, then it goes back to sleep | 14:58 |
| oly | any good alternatives to lastpass ? | 15:03 |
| bigcalm | keepass? | 15:03 |
| Myrtti | keepass. | 15:03 |
| daftykins | piece of paper pass. | 15:04 |
| oly | keypass is windows using dotnet | 15:04 |
| Myrtti | Oh? | 15:04 |
| oly | and keypassx seems to lack syncing | 15:04 |
| Myrtti | I wonder how I've used it on Android and Ubuntu for years, then | 15:04 |
| Myrtti | using rsync abs crontab to sync the database | 15:05 |
| Myrtti | and, even | 15:05 |
| Myrtti | keepass2, to be precise | 15:05 |
| oly | there is keypass1 on linux which is running in wine from what i can tell | 15:05 |
| oly | surprised seahorse does not have similar capabilities | 15:06 |
| diplo | Keepass2 is written in mono I believe ? | 15:09 |
| oly | yes it is and you have to install a load of dlls to install it | 15:10 |
| oly | felt like the type of app some one would have made a native open source version of | 15:10 |
| bigcalm | sudo apt-get install keepass2 | 15:12 |
| bigcalm | Done and dusted | 15:12 |
| bigcalm | Works out of the box | 15:12 |

| daftykins | you have special non-ubuntu repos? :) | 15:22 |
