[01:27] <Bashing-om> Seems in the evolution of things; Fridays on the channel have gotten awfully S L O W . Ya ?
[01:27] <daftykins> sounds about right :)
[01:28] <daftykins> until the trolls come in force
[01:29] <Bashing-om> Ain't seen no trolls since daftykins ran them all out of town .
[01:29] <daftykins> haha if only i could
[06:34] <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?
[06:35] <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
[06:36] <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
[06:37] <lotuspsychje> lookin neat
[06:37] <lotuspsychje> what was the 'claimed' broken part?
[06:38] <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
[06:39] <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?
[06:40] <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
[06:41] <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 :>
[06:42] <lotuspsychje> so only like data recovery tools can get data back like photorec
[06:43] <daftykins> i think most of these ransomware ones rely on unpatched machines, EOL machines or just idiot users really
[06:44] <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
[06:45] <lotuspsychje> yeah
[06:46] <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 ;)
[06:47] <lotuspsychje> http://news.softpedia.com/news/after-researchers-crack-wildfire-ransomware-crooks-return-with-hades-locker-509100.shtml
[06:49] <daftykins> mmm nothing major :>
[06:51] <lotuspsychje> not really
[06:52] <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
[06:53] <daftykins> just had some adware i think
[06:54] <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
[06:55] <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
[06:56] <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
[06:57] <daftykins> put in a spare drive of my own, clean install - totally flies
[06:57] <daftykins> that SSD is going to be \o/
[06:58] <lotuspsychje> nice
[06:59] <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
[07:00] <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
[07:01] <daftykins> 10 is so great for just getting them all off windows update :D
[07:02] <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
[07:03] <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
[07:04] <lotuspsychje> oh
[07:04] <lotuspsychje> sounds like a bell
[07:05] <daftykins> it was an ivybridge i3, there are hybrid graphic combos of the machine but it had no nvidia device apparently
[07:13] <daftykins> lotuspsychje: so what's the plan for this day? :)
[07:14] <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
[07:15] <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
[07:16] <lotuspsychje> ah yes, 1 november holiday
[07:16] <ducasse> hi guys \o
[07:16] <daftykins> gm ducasse \o
[07:17] <lotuspsychje> morning ducasse
[07:17] <ducasse> i hate dst :-/
[07:18] <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
[07:19] <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
[07:22] <ducasse> my cat, though, does *not* handle dst. she was not happy with her food being an hour late.
[07:23] <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
[07:24] <Bashing-om> G nite guys .
[07:24] <daftykins> nn sir o/
[07:24] <lotuspsychje> bye Bashing-om
[07:24] <daftykins> candle officially passed ;)
[07:24] <ducasse> nightynight, Bashing-om
[07:25] <daftykins> 1hr before this little cafe opens, oy
[07:25] <ducasse> going out?
[07:26] <daftykins> tempted, yeah... get a nice breakfast :> http://www.cafeemilia.co.uk/
[07:26] <daftykins> this place is right beside me
[07:27] <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
[07:28] <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!
[07:29] <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.
[07:30] <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
[07:32] <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.
[07:33] <daftykins> err what're you updating? i have a flash drive with win98 boot files i paste binaries on and run :>
[07:34] <ducasse> samsung 850 evo's, two of them.
[07:34] <daftykins> i thought they provided a bootable ISO usually
[07:35] <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.
[07:36] <lotuspsychje> ducasse: the 850 evo's showing newer firmware on samsungs site now?
[07:36] <ducasse> lotuspsychje: they've never been updated at all
[07:37] <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
[07:38] <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
[07:39] <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
[07:40] <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
[07:41] <ducasse> nvm, i've got a spare ssd and win7, can use that if push comes to shove.
[07:57] <lotuspsychje> breakfast time guys, have a nice one
[08:13] <ducasse> daftykins: cafe-time soon?
[08:15] <daftykins> 15 mins ermagerd!
[08:15] <daftykins> gotta go check i don't look too homeless
[08:16] <ducasse> who cares as long as you can pay? ;)
[08:16] <daftykins> it's an island, there's always people i know! XD
[08:16] <ducasse> good point. :)
[08:20] <ducasse> daftykins: anyway, enjoy! :)
[08:30] <daftykins> i gotta get out of my fur covered clothes
