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 begining | 03:43 |
floridagram | <KMyers> Yup, it was doomed to fail from the start | 03:44 |
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 people | 03:45 |
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 option | 03:47 |
floridagram | <KMyers> Don't get me wrong. Libre office is great for most but those hardcore excel users with 500 macros would disagree | 03:49 |
floridagram | <SivaMachina> I understand when you are that invested in a price of software. It is hard to switch | 03:51 |
floridagram | <SivaMachina> I am sure if it where in reverse Calc being the dominate one. It would be hard to convert people to Excel | 03:52 |
floridagram | <KMyers> @SivaMachina, Exactly | 03:52 |
floridagram | <SivaMachina> The heck they based LiMux 5 on Ubuntu 12.04 | 03:53 |
floridagram | <SivaMachina> And 5 came out in November of 2014 | 03:53 |
floridagram | <KMyers> Any change will cause a drop in productivity but when you shoehorn half baked solutions, you are doomed to fail | 03:53 |
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 first | 03:59 |
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 one | 04:03 |
floridagram | <KMyers> @SivaMachina, Correct | 04:04 |
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 SoC | 04:21 |
floridagram | <KMyers> @AdamOutler | 05:12 |
floridagram | <KMyers> That is what a quick and dirty 3D Scan looks like when printed | 05:13 |
=== C13L0__ is now known as C13L0 | ||
floridagram | <KMyers> The LG Watch Sport uses a Qi Charger with a Type C connection... nicely done | 19:48 |
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 assumption | 22:33 |
floridagram | <ahoneybun> 😆 | 22:36 |
floridagram | <Abrerr> How is 2.0 in general? | 22:37 |
floridagram | <AdamOutler> Send nudes! | 22:37 |
floridagram | <AdamOutler> I mean screenshots | 22:38 |
floridagram | <KMyers> @Abrerr, Nice... A massive improvement over 1.0 | 22:38 |
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 think | 22:47 |
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 missing | 22:56 |
floridagram | <AdamOutler> aw, come on.. @KMyers aren't you excited? | 22:57 |
floridagram | <Ivoriesablaze> I'll go ahead and file the missing persons report now | 22:59 |
