 BSPWM - why you so shit now?
 If anyone has suggestions for tiling WMs to try out, I'm open to suggestions.
 BSPWM changes are just kicking my ass.
 I know i3 has a following, can anyone recommend it?
 Not a fan of Tiling WMs in general
 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
 That said, the XPS13 has a silky feeling trackpad. :D
 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.
 I'm not OCD, but it drives me nuts.
 I am also using the XPS13 as my general carry laptop
 Did you go the QHD route?
 No, actually using the 2014 version
 oh right on
 9350 here, I wanna say that's the 2016 version.
 Only thing I'd like on it is an HDMI port, but not a big deal.
 But yea, I'm mad annoyed with BSPWM. An update came out which totally wrecked my configuration.
 I just kept it down-graded for a while
 It works well enough, no need to upgrade it. If I need the power, I will pull out my System76 or Dell precision
 But then decided wutevs, I'll update my configs.
 But man, some functionality just went backwards.
 And it killlllls me
 because it was sooo good.
 And now it's just, eckk
 I was using the ACER C720 prior to the XPS as a daily.
 I miss it sometimes.
 No idea where I'm going after the XPS.
 Likely something old and used, like my C720 was.
 System76 I've considered.
 Only thing is it ships with Ubuntu. And I want to say they DO support other distros, but I'm not entirely sure.
 So I'd have to hop back on the Ubuntu train.
 Which, isn't a bad thing.
 I'm just way out of the Ubuntu loop these days.
 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
 Those specs exactly?
 M5 = better battery?
 Give or take
 Yes
 It does not need to be a powerhouse, just powerful enough for me to use it for most tasks
 ^
 Why the C720 was so amazing.
 I got it for $200 refurbed with the 4GB if ram
 Still Celeron
 But it did everything I needed.
 It just choked when I started playing with Android Studio.
 But what doesn't?
 I do have the Samsung Chromebook Plus in my backpack for ChromeOS stuff
 I ditched ChromeOS for a native Linux install.
 In hindsight, chrouton might've been a good way to go.
 What're you using ChromeOS for these days?
 I just like to have a variety of non-Apple devices to play around with
 Right on, exposure is good.
 My prob with ChromeOS is I tell everyone to jump on the bandwagon rofl
 Because most folks I know are just Facebook folks.
 And I'm tired o' fixin their crap.
 Those are the ideal user
 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)
 So what would you say your most used OS is for personal use these days? ChromeOS up there?
 Ubuntu Gnome is the most used but mainly on my XPS13. I dont bring out my Kudu much.
 I just installed Budgie.
 Kinda cool.
 but... that trackpad :|
 I was surprised to learn that gnome-control-center has it's own keybinds.
 I thought it would bring up hotkeys for the entire DE. I was wrong.
 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.
 What I like about Android is that it's that flexible.
 :D
 That is true. My biggest complaint is there are no good FTP/SFTP clients for Android
 Most of them work but are limited
 Hrm, I haven't checked into utilitarian apps for Android.
 Just derp everyday stuff.
 And as far as chrouton overhead, I guess you're referring to ChromeOS eating things up in the background?
 Not that it's that heavy, but it'll always be there
 @Abrerr, I like i3wm
 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
 The drive was purchased on Saturday
 @SivaMachina, Yanno, I'll give it a shot later today. Any pro tips?
 @KMyers, Omg. :/
 @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.
 How do I get rid of this?
 Just click on it. I got it as well (Amber Alert)
 I can't
 Keeps making that damn noise
 You can disable emergency alerts if you want
 Hoe
 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.
 Note - that is for Stock Android - your steps may vary slightly
 I don't see that at all
 There is definitely a Wireless and Networks section
 Go back one screen and see if you have a Wireless and Networks Section
 I do
 I clicked more
 Your phone may be like Samsung, Try launching the stock SMS application on your phone
 Under the settings, there may be an "Emergency Alert Settings"
 Edit : Yup, that is the case with your phone as well - https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-15624
 Likewise you can just read the message/delete it in there if you dont want to completely disable it
 I can't read it
 Do you see an emergency message in the stock messaging application?
 Fixed
 I couldn't read it from the lock screen
 Every phone in the office went off at the same time
 @KMyers you think you got it bad..  I work in a place where we test phones.
 Everyone has several phones.
