Bashing-omdaftykins: If all goes as expected ( well !) will not take but a few moments to swap that bios chip out . Then we can see what the situation stinks like .00:10
daftykins:>00:13
daftykinsfingers crossed00:13
Bashing-omUh Huh .. I have high hopes .. would be a shame to have these hopes dashed by a different reality .00:14
daftykinswell, if so we'll just ban this reality and make a new one!00:23
Bashing-omWe do that as a matter of course . Install the right software, make it where 'buntu does not hurt .00:25

ducasse"hi, i want to setup and use a complex tool, but it is reeeeeally important that i don't read or learn anything."20:29
naccyep20:29
Bashing-omLike many ... gimme a magic pill As I do not want to "work" to loose weight ( or whatever ) .20:32
daftykinshaha how did they phrase that part?20:32
ducassetalking about setting up and using mysql:20:35
ducasse21:14 <yocs0000> Flannel: yes, but you have to udnerstand that if I do it, I use the CLI, if it is a newbie, for example thw wife, she would like to fire it up and start using it20:35
daftykinslol yes his wife is just going to quickly fire up a database and get cracking20:52
ducasse"maybe there are things a newbie should not be doing?"20:56
ducasse"NO!"20:56
* daftykins agrees20:57
ducassei'm all for all kind of people being able to use computers, but they should expect to use some time on reading and learning. and be happy they have the kind of access to docs and materials we do nowadays.20:59
daftykinsabsolutely, just had someone else asking me for a link to the product wiki... oh my word, lift a finger yourself!21:00
ducassei hate those questions, but generally try to be polite and help. i know i have a tendency to be a bit short with people sometimes :)21:04
daftykinsd'aww i've rubbed off on you!21:05
ducassenaw, it's just that autismometers blow up near me :)21:05
ducassedaftykins: done any soldering lately? i have a few caps on a spare mainboard that needs changing, considering getting a kit and see how badly i can screw it up.21:09
ducasseif i can fix it and get a case i'll have a nice htpc...21:09
daftykins:D21:10
daftykinsnice, i'm debating giving away that board i swapped the caps on, along with a bunch of other old gear21:11
daftykinsdid you see the Sega Game Gear handheld i repaired?21:11
ducasseyes, that was cool!21:11
daftykins:D21:11
daftykinswish i could find more of the game cartridges for that21:11
daftykinsi'd have bought caps for my das keyboard but i don't think they impact the key drops21:11
daftykinshttps://www.dropbox.com/s/o48brjqt27ppie7/IMG_20161017_133101.jpg?dl=021:12
daftykinsi don't think those caps affect power across the keyboard whilst i'm not using any USB devices in its' hub21:12
daftykinsat least that's my basic understanding of electronics21:12
daftykinspart of me wants to swap them because... SOLDERING! \o/21:13
ducassei learned (well, at least they tried) the basic electronics stuff at school, but that was 20 years ago. but yes, fiddling with electronics is almost always fun, especially when it involves stuff that can be dangerous!21:14
ducasseHEEEAAAT! i am the god of hellfire!21:15
daftykins:>21:15
daftykinsducasse: just some through-hole caps then huh? easy peasy :D21:15
ducasseyes, afaict. i haven't really looked too closely at the entire board, just noticed a few bad ones.21:16
daftykins:)21:16
daftykinsit's amazing how many hours fly by when working on things, i redo them until i'm happy with the joins21:17
ducasseyou should be getting pretty good by now :)21:17

daftykinsthat's true, but it's a peaceful occupation21:22

daftykinsit's getting cold enough for mine to steal my chair now when i get up21:23
