[03:21] BSPWM - why you so shit now? [03:21] If anyone has suggestions for tiling WMs to try out, I'm open to suggestions. [03:21] BSPWM changes are just kicking my ass. [03:22] I know i3 has a following, can anyone recommend it? [03:23] Not a fan of Tiling WMs in general [03:24] I prefer them these days just because I'm only ever on the laptop. And mashing my fingers all over the trackpad eats up time in the longrun [03:24] That said, the XPS13 has a silky feeling trackpad. :D [03:26] Awesome is nice, but it does some funky things with arrangements on many windows. Like leaving a pixel or two visible on any one side of a window of the objects behind it -- like wallpaper. [03:26] I'm not OCD, but it drives me nuts. [03:26] I am also using the XPS13 as my general carry laptop [03:27] Did you go the QHD route? [03:27] No, actually using the 2014 version [03:27] oh right on [03:27] 9350 here, I wanna say that's the 2016 version. [03:28] Only thing I'd like on it is an HDMI port, but not a big deal. [03:29] But yea, I'm mad annoyed with BSPWM. An update came out which totally wrecked my configuration. [03:29] I just kept it down-graded for a while [03:29] It works well enough, no need to upgrade it. If I need the power, I will pull out my System76 or Dell precision [03:29] But then decided wutevs, I'll update my configs. [03:29] But man, some functionality just went backwards. [03:29] And it killlllls me [03:29] because it was sooo good. [03:29] And now it's just, eckk [03:30] I was using the ACER C720 prior to the XPS as a daily. [03:30] I miss it sometimes. [03:30] No idea where I'm going after the XPS. [03:30] Likely something old and used, like my C720 was. [03:31] System76 I've considered. [03:31] Only thing is it ships with Ubuntu. And I want to say they DO support other distros, but I'm not entirely sure. [03:31] So I'd have to hop back on the Ubuntu train. [03:31] Which, isn't a bad thing. [03:31] I'm just way out of the Ubuntu loop these days. [03:32] I want my next lightweight laptop to use a Intel Core M5, 8 GB of RAM, 512 GB SSD, 1080p Touchscreen and it MUST charge via Type C [03:32] Those specs exactly? [03:33] M5 = better battery? [03:33] Give or take [03:33] Yes [03:33] It does not need to be a powerhouse, just powerful enough for me to use it for most tasks [03:34] ^ [03:34] Why the C720 was so amazing. [03:34] I got it for $200 refurbed with the 4GB if ram [03:34] Still Celeron [03:34] But it did everything I needed. [03:34] It just choked when I started playing with Android Studio. [03:34] But what doesn't? [03:35] I do have the Samsung Chromebook Plus in my backpack for ChromeOS stuff [03:35] I ditched ChromeOS for a native Linux install. [03:35] In hindsight, chrouton might've been a good way to go. [03:36] What're you using ChromeOS for these days? [03:37] I just like to have a variety of non-Apple devices to play around with [03:38] Right on, exposure is good. [03:38] My prob with ChromeOS is I tell everyone to jump on the bandwagon rofl [03:38] Because most folks I know are just Facebook folks. [03:38] And I'm tired o' fixin their crap. [03:39] Those are the ideal user [03:40] I honestly do not need a lot of local compute power - chromeOS does quite well for most things I do. I offload heavy tasks to one of my servers (Dual Quad Xeons with 16-32 GB of RAM) [03:41] So what would you say your most used OS is for personal use these days? ChromeOS up there? [03:43] Ubuntu Gnome is the most used but mainly on my XPS13. I dont bring out my Kudu much. [03:43] I just installed Budgie. [03:43] Kinda cool. [03:43] but... that trackpad :| [03:44] I was surprised to learn that gnome-control-center has it's own keybinds. [03:44] I thought it would bring up hotkeys for the entire DE. I was wrong. [03:44] I have been using DeX a lot over the past 2 days. It is interesting but shows that Android has a way to go for a few things. [03:44] What I like about Android is that it's that flexible. [03:44] :D [03:45] That is true. My biggest complaint is there are no good FTP/SFTP clients for Android [03:46] Most of them work but are limited [03:46] Hrm, I haven't checked into utilitarian apps for Android. [03:46] Just derp everyday stuff. [03:48] And as far as chrouton overhead, I guess you're referring to ChromeOS eating things up in the background? [03:48] Not that it's that heavy, but it'll always be there [15:40] @Abrerr, I like i3wm [15:41] I spent the past 3 days transferring almost 1.1 TB of Data to a Western Digital Portable Hard Drive - It just died on me [15:41] The drive was purchased on Saturday [18:30] @SivaMachina, Yanno, I'll give it a shot later today. Any pro tips? [18:31] @KMyers, Omg. :/ [18:43] @Abrerr, You will have to edit a conf for i3 and one for the status. I do suggest using arandr(for adjusting your resolution but you will need to add something to your i3 conf to make it permanent ) lxapperance, and use either Feh or nitrogen to set your wallpaper.... You will need to add something to you conf referring to one of those to programs to make it permanent. [21:04] How do I get rid of this? [21:04] Just click on it. I got it as well (Amber Alert) [21:04] I can't [21:05] Keeps making that damn noise [21:05] You can disable emergency alerts if you want [21:05] Hoe [21:06] To disable emergency alerts in stock Android, head to Settings, click on the More option under the Wireless & Networks section, and scroll down to the Cell Broadcasts settings. Once opened, you will be given the option to disable extreme threats, severe threats, and Amber Alerts. [21:06] Note - that is for Stock Android - your steps may vary slightly [21:06] I don't see that at all [21:07] There is definitely a Wireless and Networks section [21:07] Go back one screen and see if you have a Wireless and Networks Section [21:07] I do [21:07] I clicked more [21:10] Your phone may be like Samsung, Try launching the stock SMS application on your phone [21:11] Under the settings, there may be an "Emergency Alert Settings" [21:12] Edit : Yup, that is the case with your phone as well - https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-15624 [21:12] Likewise you can just read the message/delete it in there if you dont want to completely disable it [21:13] I can't read it [21:14] Do you see an emergency message in the stock messaging application? [21:14] Fixed [21:14] I couldn't read it from the lock screen [21:16] Every phone in the office went off at the same time [22:34] @KMyers you think you got it bad.. I work in a place where we test phones. [22:35] Everyone has several phones.
