floridagram<KMyers> @SivaMachina, I saw that the other day. I was sceptical about the way it was implemented in the first place (years ago). It was a half baked solution that was put in with the sole cost of saving money.03:39
floridagram<SivaMachina> I know. I do remember the person pushing for Windows this time was against the switch to open source from the begining03:43
floridagram<KMyers> Yup, it was doomed to fail from the start03:44
floridagram<KMyers> The problems should have been mitigated before the migration.03:44
floridagram<SivaMachina> You'd think they'd get a working is before they migrated people03:45
floridagram<KMyers> Nope. It was done with no budget by people who had no idea what they are doing. OpenOffice is great but it is not a drop in replacement for MS office.03:46
floridagram<KMyers> If they moved to Google Docs or Office 365 instead, it would have solved 95% of the issues. But it would not have saved money so was not a viable option03:47
floridagram<KMyers> Don't get me wrong. Libre office is great for most but those hardcore excel users with 500 macros would disagree03:49
floridagram<SivaMachina> I understand when you are that invested in a price of software. It is hard to switch03:51
floridagram<SivaMachina> I am sure if it where in reverse Calc being the dominate one. It would be hard to convert people to Excel03:52
floridagram<KMyers> @SivaMachina, Exactly03:52
floridagram<SivaMachina> The heck they based LiMux 5 on Ubuntu 12.0403:53
floridagram<SivaMachina> And 5 came out in November of 201403:53
floridagram<KMyers> Any change will cause a drop in productivity but when you shoehorn half baked solutions, you are doomed to fail03:53
floridagram<KMyers> And I have succeeded in migrating thousands of call center workers from Windows to Linux. It is what I do for a living. I look at each client system extensively before determining that they are a viable candidate to use Linux or Windows.03:55
floridagram<SivaMachina> Would of helped if they started to migrate people to Libreoffce first. Like getting their macros converted over first03:59
floridagram<SivaMachina> But then again their implementation of Linux was crap anyway.04:00
floridagram<KMyers> @SivaMachina, That would have made more sense.. something that was completely lacking from day one04:03
floridagram<KMyers> @SivaMachina, Correct04:04
floridagram<KMyers> Holy crap... The $200 MonoPrice Mini 3D Printer actually has WiFi built in, just hidden at the firmware level. For the price, I thought this was a simple Arduino/ramps design but this thing has an ARM SoC04:21
floridagram<KMyers> @AdamOutler05:12
floridagram<KMyers> That is what a quick and dirty 3D Scan looks like when printed05:13
=== C13L0__ is now known as C13L0
floridagram<KMyers> The LG Watch Sport uses a Qi Charger with a Type C connection... nicely done19:48
floridagram<KMyers> Damn, the charger does not seem to be a Qi charger.20:09
floridagram<KMyers> On a plus, Telegram on Android Wear 2.0 is incredible!21:17
floridagram<ahoneybun> I'm guessing you got the new watch @KMyers ?22:31
floridagram<KMyers> Safe assumption22:33
floridagram<ahoneybun> 😆22:36
floridagram<Abrerr> How is 2.0 in general?22:37
floridagram<AdamOutler> Send nudes!22:37
floridagram<AdamOutler> I mean screenshots22:38
floridagram<KMyers> @Abrerr, Nice... A massive improvement over 1.022:38
floridagram<Abrerr> Wurr da pics at?22:39
floridagram<AdamOutler> I switched back to the Pixel stock android from the Android Beta.  My battery life is restored.22:45
floridagram<AdamOutler> The beta was draining my battery on my phone, and also my Google Glass and Wear! my battery is at 70% after a full day at work.22:46
floridagram<AdamOutler> the watch has NFC?22:46
floridagram<Abrerr> Sport does I think22:47
floridagram<AdamOutler> neato!  I'm excited.  It's been many years now since Android copied iPhone... But this moment marks a total turn of events.  Can you believe iPhone had NFC on-watch before Android?  It's like the whole table was turned for this feature.22:48
floridagram<Ivoriesablaze> Adam outler is about to go missing22:56
floridagram<AdamOutler> aw, come on.. @KMyers aren't you excited?22:57
floridagram<Ivoriesablaze> I'll go ahead and file the missing persons report now22:59
