| lotuspsychje | good morning to all | 06:34 |
| daftykins | helloooooo! | 06:34 |
| daftykins | how goes it? :D | 06:34 |
| lotuspsychje | hey hey dafty | 06:34 |
| lotuspsychje | great on this side of the globe :p and you? | 06:34 |
| daftykins | yeah not bad here :> more fixing going on! sorted a laptop here for someone which a local IT shop claimed was dead | 06:35 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 06:35 |
| daftykins | https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rgmjalwccwufpje/AAClMHQBGPTwTm8GuaCc-G-Oa?dl=0 | 06:35 |
| daftykins | look at that beauty ;) | 06:35 |
| lotuspsychje | thats always nice to rebirt a machine | 06:35 |
| daftykins | absolutely, £61 paid to get a 275GB crucial MX300 SSD on the way too | 06:36 |
| daftykins | it's only a dual core AMD Athlon X2 with 3GB RAM, but plenty for the person in question | 06:36 |
| lotuspsychje | lookin neat | 06:37 |
| lotuspsychje | what was the 'claimed' broken part? | 06:37 |
| daftykins | the story i heard was that it wouldn't even switch on, a live session saw 48 bad sectors so i just sold them on the idea of a new drive instead, after having scrubbed it up, can only imagine what the fan noise must've been like before :D | 06:38 |
| lotuspsychje | hehe | 06:38 |
| daftykins | but get this, this shop allegedly backed up their data too... so i plug in this external drive they got given... two blank partitions on it | 06:38 |
| daftykins | i'm probably going to suggest they or i go there and demand a refund | 06:39 |
| lotuspsychje | perhaps they data recovered it with before with a tool? | 06:39 |
| daftykins | if they did they left it in a totally unusable state XD | 06:40 |
| lotuspsychje | there's a new hijackworm spreading on Fb also | 06:40 |
| daftykins | o rly | 06:40 |
| lotuspsychje | locks your *win folders with an aes encryption and need to pay the ransom before unlocking | 06:41 |
| lotuspsychje | of course paying isnt garantuee | 06:41 |
| daftykins | that's impossible | 06:41 |
| lotuspsychje | without they key you cant deciper as its too strong encryption | 06:41 |
| daftykins | Windows folder is always in use :> | 06:41 |
| lotuspsychje | so only like data recovery tools can get data back like photorec | 06:42 |
| daftykins | i think most of these ransomware ones rely on unpatched machines, EOL machines or just idiot users really | 06:43 |
| lotuspsychje | if i recall correctly its fastly spreading from FB | 06:44 |
| lotuspsychje | lemme refind link | 06:44 |
| daftykins | i had a client who saw a news story about someone getting hit locally and so wanted his backup to be safe from it, i explained it's not really that easy to have an automated backup setup that's safe from it | 06:44 |
| lotuspsychje | yeah | 06:45 |
| daftykins | i haven't really come up with a good idea on that one, some software you can have FTP it somewhere... that would be safe from ransomware | 06:46 |
| daftykins | far from ideal to be touching FTP in 2016 though ;) | 06:46 |
| lotuspsychje | http://news.softpedia.com/news/after-researchers-crack-wildfire-ransomware-crooks-return-with-hades-locker-509100.shtml | 06:47 |
| daftykins | mmm nothing major :> | 06:49 |
| lotuspsychje | not really | 06:51 |
| daftykins | i have had a client fall for a "UPS" fake email, i asked him how he thought a courier would know his address even if he did have a package on the way XD | 06:52 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 06:52 |
| daftykins | just had some adware i think | 06:53 |
| lotuspsychje | every time i need to mess with a win system, im loosing my patience really | 06:54 |
| lotuspsychje | slowwww | 06:54 |
| daftykins | that's usually the case with factory installs, which is why i never let anyone run a factory install | 06:54 |
| lotuspsychje | office 2003 uninstall and reinstall took me 45 min yesterday on a box | 06:54 |
| daftykins | hrmm that's EOL though, shouldn't really offer to work with it at all | 06:55 |
| daftykins | it's as dead as XP :) | 06:55 |
| daftykins | still the best version though, back when the whole suite installed was <500MB :D | 06:55 |
| lotuspsychje | yep | 06:55 |
| lotuspsychje | they didnt want libreoffice, and thats what they had on stick | 06:55 |
| daftykins | i managed to boot the 7 install on the wonky drive in this asus actually, same thing the disk light was on solid | 06:56 |
| daftykins | i usually use ubuntu live sessions to copy data off with ones like that now, so i'm not held up by the bad OS :D | 06:56 |
| daftykins | put in a spare drive of my own, clean install - totally flies | 06:57 |
| daftykins | that SSD is going to be \o/ | 06:57 |
| lotuspsychje | nice | 06:58 |
| daftykins | finally found the updates to put on a clean 7 SP1 rollup ISO i made... check for updates without taking hours too :D | 06:59 |
| lotuspsychje | thats pretty handy | 06:59 |
| daftykins | very weird issue came in since win10 came out | 06:59 |
| lotuspsychje | if you dont wanna end up hours of silly updates | 07:00 |
| daftykins | yep there are only 40 now since the May rollup came out and i integrated it into my ISOs | 07:00 |
| lotuspsychje | nice | 07:00 |
| daftykins | doing 7 sucks though, classic days of driver finding | 07:00 |
| daftykins | 10 is so great for just getting them all off windows update :D | 07:01 |
| lotuspsychje | didnt test 10 yet and i wont :p | 07:02 |
| daftykins | i maintain all the rubbish articles talking about it stealing your soul being the usual rubbish | 07:02 |
| daftykins | typical FUD | 07:02 |
| daftykins | yesterday we had a guy running 16.10 with KDE that wouldn't redraw the screen on adding tabs in firefox, i think it was o0 | 07:03 |
| daftykins | acer v5 machine | 07:03 |
| lotuspsychje | oh | 07:04 |
| lotuspsychje | sounds like a bell | 07:04 |
| daftykins | it was an ivybridge i3, there are hybrid graphic combos of the machine but it had no nvidia device apparently | 07:05 |
| daftykins | lotuspsychje: so what's the plan for this day? :) | 07:13 |
| lotuspsychje | daftykins: being real lazy | 07:14 |
| daftykins | \o/ | 07:14 |
| lotuspsychje | tomorrow working day again | 07:14 |
| lotuspsychje | and its like holiday weekend, so crowded at work | 07:14 |
| daftykins | ah har | 07:14 |
| daftykins | one with the monday off for all? | 07:15 |
| lotuspsychje | nop, were open 24/7 mate :p | 07:15 |
| lotuspsychje | but today was my day off | 07:15 |
| daftykins | i just meant the holiday | 07:15 |

| ducasse | hi guys \o | 07:16 |
| daftykins | gm ducasse \o | 07:16 |
| lotuspsychje | morning ducasse | 07:17 |
| ducasse | i hate dst :-/ | 07:17 |
| daftykins | ah har yes i saw the time travelling at 2am :> | 07:18 |
| lotuspsychje | its auto sync on ubuntu :p | 07:18 |
| daftykins | if everything is too auto, i won't know it's happened ;) | 07:18 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 07:18 |
| daftykins | that's a point, Win10 doesn't even tell me! | 07:19 |
| ducasse | most things handle it automatically, so it's no hassle anymore, i just think it's dumb :) | 07:19 |
| daftykins | 7 would have a little bit of text if you clicked the clock, telling you things are not as they seem | 07:19 |
| ducasse | my cat, though, does *not* handle dst. she was not happy with her food being an hour late. | 07:22 |
| daftykins | ah har that's quite the schedule! i don't have one for my little one, just top her up when i see it low | 07:23 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 07:23 |
| ducasse | mine always has the dry stuff, but i give her 'wet' food when i wake up. | 07:23 |
| daftykins | ah yeah | 07:23 |
| Bashing-om | G nite guys . | 07:24 |
| daftykins | nn sir o/ | 07:24 |
| lotuspsychje | bye Bashing-om | 07:24 |

| ducasse | nightynight, Bashing-om | 07:24 |
| daftykins | 1hr before this little cafe opens, oy | 07:25 |
| ducasse | going out? | 07:25 |
| daftykins | tempted, yeah... get a nice breakfast :> http://www.cafeemilia.co.uk/ | 07:26 |
| daftykins | this place is right beside me | 07:26 |
| lotuspsychje | mmmmm | 07:27 |
| ducasse | i'd kill for a full english breakfast about now :) | 07:27 |
| lotuspsychje | coffee and croissants | 07:27 |
| lotuspsychje | with bacon ane scrambled eggs mmm | 07:27 |
| * daftykins scoops up his cat and moves her away from ducasse | 07:27 | |
| daftykins | ;) | 07:27 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 07:27 |
| ducasse | hehe, not cats, though, they're safe :) | 07:28 |
| daftykins | cooked breakfast for me, minus the black pud and possibly minus the toast | 07:28 |
| daftykins | bread is the schoolboy error! | 07:28 |
| lotuspsychje | heh | 07:29 |
| lotuspsychje | im not a toast fan myself | 07:29 |
| daftykins | do you get nutella over there? nutella on toast is quite something | 07:29 |
| daftykins | i've been getting into crumpets of late, nutella on crumpets is O: | 07:29 |
| daftykins | diet ruining. | 07:29 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 07:30 |
| lotuspsychje | as a desert could be nice | 07:30 |
| ducasse | we have something very similar to nutella, called nugatti. as a kid i ate slices with an inch of nugatti on :) | 07:30 |
| daftykins | :O | 07:30 |
| ducasse | mmmmm | 07:30 |
| lotuspsychje | is that like nougat? | 07:32 |
| daftykins | hazelnut and cocoa spread | 07:32 |
| daftykins | unless you mean just ducasse' one | 07:32 |
| ducasse | daftykins: know where i can get one of those win pe boot images? need to update some firmwares. | 07:32 |
| daftykins | err what're you updating? i have a flash drive with win98 boot files i paste binaries on and run :> | 07:33 |
| ducasse | samsung 850 evo's, two of them. | 07:34 |
| daftykins | i thought they provided a bootable ISO usually | 07:34 |
| daftykins | i also thought someone claimed recently that that model has no update o0 | 07:35 |
| ducasse | not any longer, and the linux tools only does older drives and enterprise models. | 07:35 |
| lotuspsychje | ducasse: the 850 evo's showing newer firmware on samsungs site now? | 07:36 |
| ducasse | lotuspsychje: they've never been updated at all | 07:36 |
| lotuspsychje | yeah but didnt realize the 850 series had updates | 07:37 |
| ducasse | yup. you have the pro, right? | 07:37 |
| daftykins | multi thousand dollar new macbooks don't even come with power extension cables, lol | 07:37 |
| lotuspsychje | yep | 07:37 |
| ducasse | lotuspsychje: then you can flash with their linux tools. | 07:38 |
| lotuspsychje | i think i firmwared the 840 evo with plop boot manager tools | 07:38 |
| daftykins | ducasse: were you thinking to install the magician program in a WinPE then o0 | 07:38 |
| ducasse | daftykins: i just know it can run it, i don't want to make a full win install | 07:39 |
| lotuspsychje | ducasse: https://www.plop.at/en/downloads.html | 07:39 |
| daftykins | hmm programs that need installing i wouldn't have thought would work | 07:39 |
| daftykins | i'm more thinking of the windows installer sessions though | 07:40 |
| ducasse | this supposedly does. | 07:40 |
| ducasse | i read it on the internet! | 07:40 |
| ducasse | ;) | 07:40 |
| daftykins | XD | 07:40 |
| ducasse | nvm, i've got a spare ssd and win7, can use that if push comes to shove. | 07:41 |
| lotuspsychje | breakfast time guys, have a nice one | 07:57 |
| ducasse | daftykins: cafe-time soon? | 08:13 |
| daftykins | 15 mins ermagerd! | 08:15 |
