[01:27] Seems in the evolution of things; Fridays on the channel have gotten awfully S L O W . Ya ? [01:27] sounds about right :) [01:28] until the trolls come in force [01:29] Ain't seen no trolls since daftykins ran them all out of town . [01:29] haha if only i could === JanC is now known as Guest84922 === JanC_ is now known as JanC === phunyguy is now known as phunyghoul [06:34] good morning to all [06:34] helloooooo! [06:34] how goes it? :D [06:34] hey hey dafty [06:34] great on this side of the globe :p and you? [06:35] yeah not bad here :> more fixing going on! sorted a laptop here for someone which a local IT shop claimed was dead [06:35] lol [06:35] https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rgmjalwccwufpje/AAClMHQBGPTwTm8GuaCc-G-Oa?dl=0 [06:35] look at that beauty ;) [06:35] thats always nice to rebirt a machine [06:36] absolutely, £61 paid to get a 275GB crucial MX300 SSD on the way too [06:36] it's only a dual core AMD Athlon X2 with 3GB RAM, but plenty for the person in question [06:37] lookin neat [06:37] what was the 'claimed' broken part? [06:38] 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] hehe [06:38] 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 [06:39] i'm probably going to suggest they or i go there and demand a refund [06:39] perhaps they data recovered it with before with a tool? [06:40] if they did they left it in a totally unusable state XD [06:40] there's a new hijackworm spreading on Fb also [06:40] o rly [06:41] locks your *win folders with an aes encryption and need to pay the ransom before unlocking [06:41] of course paying isnt garantuee [06:41] that's impossible [06:41] without they key you cant deciper as its too strong encryption [06:41] Windows folder is always in use :> [06:42] so only like data recovery tools can get data back like photorec [06:43] i think most of these ransomware ones rely on unpatched machines, EOL machines or just idiot users really [06:44] if i recall correctly its fastly spreading from FB [06:44] lemme refind link [06:44] 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 [06:45] yeah [06:46] 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] far from ideal to be touching FTP in 2016 though ;) [06:47] http://news.softpedia.com/news/after-researchers-crack-wildfire-ransomware-crooks-return-with-hades-locker-509100.shtml [06:49] mmm nothing major :> [06:51] not really [06:52] 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] lol [06:53] just had some adware i think [06:54] every time i need to mess with a win system, im loosing my patience really [06:54] slowwww [06:54] that's usually the case with factory installs, which is why i never let anyone run a factory install [06:54] office 2003 uninstall and reinstall took me 45 min yesterday on a box [06:55] hrmm that's EOL though, shouldn't really offer to work with it at all [06:55] it's as dead as XP :) [06:55] still the best version though, back when the whole suite installed was <500MB :D [06:55] yep [06:55] they didnt want libreoffice, and thats what they had on stick [06:56] 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] 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 [06:57] put in a spare drive of my own, clean install - totally flies [06:57] that SSD is going to be \o/ [06:58] nice [06:59] 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] thats pretty handy [06:59] very weird issue came in since win10 came out [07:00] if you dont wanna end up hours of silly updates [07:00] yep there are only 40 now since the May rollup came out and i integrated it into my ISOs [07:00] nice [07:00] doing 7 sucks though, classic days of driver finding [07:01] 10 is so great for just getting them all off windows update :D [07:02] didnt test 10 yet and i wont :p [07:02] i maintain all the rubbish articles talking about it stealing your soul being the usual rubbish [07:02] typical FUD [07:03] 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] acer v5 machine [07:04] oh [07:04] sounds like a bell [07:05] it was an ivybridge i3, there are hybrid graphic combos of the machine but it had no nvidia device apparently [07:13] lotuspsychje: so what's the plan for this day? :) [07:14] daftykins: being real lazy [07:14] \o/ [07:14] tomorrow working day again [07:14] and its like holiday weekend, so crowded at work [07:14] ah har [07:15] one with the monday off for all?

[07:19] most things handle it automatically, so it's no hassle anymore, i just think it's dumb :) [07:19] 7 would have a little bit of text if you clicked the clock, telling you things are not as they seem [07:22] my cat, though, does *not* handle dst. she was not happy with her food being an hour late. [07:23] 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] lol [07:23] mine always has the dry stuff, but i give her 'wet' food when i wake up.

[07:29] heh [07:29] im not a toast fan myself [07:29] do you get nutella over there? nutella on toast is quite something [07:29] i've been getting into crumpets of late, nutella on crumpets is O: [07:29] diet ruining. [07:30] lol [07:30] as a desert could be nice [07:30] we have something very similar to nutella, called nugatti. as a kid i ate slices with an inch of nugatti on :) [07:30] :O [07:30] mmmmm [07:32] is that like nougat? [07:32] hazelnut and cocoa spread [07:32] unless you mean just ducasse' one [07:32] daftykins: know where i can get one of those win pe boot images? need to update some firmwares. [07:33] err what're you updating? i have a flash drive with win98 boot files i paste binaries on and run :> [07:34] samsung 850 evo's, two of them. [07:34] i thought they provided a bootable ISO usually [07:35] i also thought someone claimed recently that that model has no update o0 [07:35] not any longer, and the linux tools only does older drives and enterprise models. [07:36] ducasse: the 850 evo's showing newer firmware on samsungs site now? [07:36] lotuspsychje: they've never been updated at all [07:37] yeah but didnt realize the 850 series had updates [07:37] yup. you have the pro, right? [07:37] multi thousand dollar new macbooks don't even come with power extension cables, lol [07:37] yep [07:38] lotuspsychje: then you can flash with their linux tools. [07:38] i think i firmwared the 840 evo with plop boot manager tools [07:38] ducasse: were you thinking to install the magician program in a WinPE then o0 [07:39] daftykins: i just know it can run it, i don't want to make a full win install [07:39] ducasse: https://www.plop.at/en/downloads.html [07:39] hmm programs that need installing i wouldn't have thought would work [07:40] i'm more thinking of the windows installer sessions though [07:40] this supposedly does. [07:40] i read it on the internet! [07:40] ;) [07:40] XD [07:41] nvm, i've got a spare ssd and win7, can use that if push comes to shove.
