awilkinsHow can I remove or disable pulseaudio devices in the sound prefs?12:55
awilkinsI have a bunch of HDMI audio outputs that are not used but show up as selections whereas all I want is selected outputs on my soundcard + 1 USB output12:56
awilkinsTHere used to be a hardware tab in the sound settings that let you do this but AFAICT Gnome removed it because it was useful to someone12:57
daftykins:D13:01
popeyawilkins: use pavucontrol?13:15
awilkinsDoesn't make the devices disappear in sound prefs13:15

daftykinsalthough i thought that was widely known14:24
diddledanthere's a note at the bottom of that article that verizon were asking for a 1bn discount, but I'm thinking that might go up14:24
diddledanit wasn't known, but was suggested14:24
daftykinsi read something on the Tesco Bank one this morning, seems they're not sure on the method yet14:38

diddledanI like the concept behind this; it works for any kind of abusive harassment I would imagine. http://boingboing.net/2016/11/11/how-to-intervene-if-you-witnes.html15:09

zmoylan-pithank goodness i don't use ssd's OR spotify... :-P17:41
zmoylan-pibut wow for abusing users hardware17:41
daftykinswell talk of SSD lifespans is always overblown - and you're the one suffering from not using one :)17:42
zmoylan-pii like my blinky leds... :-)17:43
daftykinshuh? were you under the impression that having one stops you from seeing a disk activity LED?17:43
zmoylan-pibut it wouldn't flash pleasently for a long time if i used ssd!17:44
daftykinsthat's the whole point of the benefit!17:44
zmoylan-pii'll stick with spinning rust for capacity...17:46
diddledanand think of all the kids that will never know the joy of hearing the heads jump about the disk?!17:46
daftykinsbut you don't need capacity for the OS and software...17:47
zmoylan-piit's how i know it's quiet at 3am when i can hear the hard drive in my laptop spinning17:47
daftykins*sigh* ah well, can lead the horse to water... :D17:47

diddledan:-o21:26
diddledancorruption is BAD!21:27
zmoylan-pithankfully i had a backup file from a few months back.  i also made a backup of the corrupt data and i should be able to extract any missing data from the older backup from the newer one with a little care21:44
zmoylan-pibut i actually reached for my spare even dumber nokia asha 201 just in case i couldn't make it work and found it had run flat as i left it on and not charging for a few months...21:50
