| notlikethesoup | morning | 11:36 |
| notlikethesoup | my desktop is borked and i'm stumped | 11:36 |
| notlikethesoup | it will not boot into absolutely anything | 11:36 |
| notlikethesoup | i already RMAd my motherboard, and gigabyte said it was fine and sent it back | 11:37 |
| cmaloney | Even from external media? | 11:37 |
| notlikethesoup | i tried a linux USB to no avail | 11:37 |
| notlikethesoup | front and back USB ports | 11:37 |
| cmaloney | Did you somehow turn secure boot on? | 11:37 |
| notlikethesoup | i _believe_ not, i won't be able to check until after work | 11:38 |
| notlikethesoup | the bios got reset, so it's basically just whatever stock settings | 11:38 |
| notlikethesoup | my overclocking is no more :( | 11:38 |
| notlikethesoup | but that's fine | 11:38 |
| mrgoodcat | notlikethesoup: its still busted? | 12:17 |
| mrgoodcat | i thought you said when i was there you were going to have it up and running soon | 12:18 |
| notlikethesoup | mrgoodcat: lol well gigabyte took their sweet time with it | 12:22 |
| notlikethesoup | but i just put it back together finally on tuesday | 12:22 |
| notlikethesoup | spent about 4-5 hours on it since then trying to troubleshoot to no avail | 12:22 |
| mrgoodcat | and its still borked | 12:22 |
| rick_h | morning | 12:22 |
| cmaloney | notlikethesoup: Have you tried turning it off and on again? | 12:23 |
| mrgoodcat | ^^ | 12:23 |
| mrgoodcat | now that i can unlock 1password on my phone with a fingerprint i get mad every time i have to type the password in on my laptop | 12:24 |
| notlikethesoup | cmaloney: lol maybe times | 12:25 |
| notlikethesoup | i've had better luck using onboard graphics; trying to boot into windows i would freeze at the windows logo loading screen | 12:26 |
| notlikethesoup | but with onboard i can at least get to the advanced startup | 12:26 |
| notlikethesoup | however, still won't boot when i try to just continue into windows | 12:26 |
| jrwren | Good morning. | 12:47 |
| notlikethesoup | o/ | 12:47 |
| jrwren | notlikethesoup: have you tried running it with only the mobo, outside the case, resting on an insulator with no SATA plugged in and nothing else plugged in? that is step 1 to checking a mobo. | 12:48 |
| jrwren | notlikethesoup: then, one by one component plug each thing in, with it out of case, check htat it runs that way. | 12:49 |
| jrwren | notlikethesoup: then, if you must, mount it in a case and do the same procedure. | 12:49 |
| notlikethesoup | i have not gone that in-depth yet, no | 12:49 |
| notlikethesoup | good idea though | 12:50 |
| jrwren | 22yrs ago I got a job in PC repair. It was only a little bit different back then. The same troubleshooting procedures apply. | 12:51 |
| mrgoodcat | 22 years? i'm not sure why but I always assumed that you were my age | 12:54 |
| mrgoodcat | you look younger over IRC | 12:54 |
| jrwren | are you older than me? | 12:54 |
| mrgoodcat | lol no | 12:55 |
| jrwren | I always assumed you were 43 this year. | 12:55 |
| mrgoodcat | i'm 24 | 12:55 |
| * jrwren chokes on coffee. | 12:55 | |
| mrgoodcat | unless you were repairing pcs when you were 2 | 12:55 |
| jrwren | I have that youthful attitude about me. | 12:55 |
| mrgoodcat | i'm fairly sure i even met you once at chc | 12:55 |
| mrgoodcat | never would have guessed you had 20 years on me | 12:55 |
| jrwren | oh no. I was 18yo. It was my 2nd real tech job and my 3rd if you count part time laptop it admin when I was 15yo at my dads office. | 12:56 |
| jrwren | well, only 16 yrs on you. lets not get hasty and call it 20. | 12:56 |
| mrgoodcat | haha | 12:56 |
| notlikethesoup | wait you're only 24? | 12:58 |
| notlikethesoup | shit i thought you were at least a few years older than me | 12:58 |
| mrgoodcat | i'll be 25 in july | 12:58 |
| notlikethesoup | you've got 5 months on me | 12:58 |
| jrwren | 15yrs on you then. :p | 12:59 |
| jrwren | see, we keep getting closer and closer. | 12:59 |
| mrgoodcat | no he's younger than me | 12:59 |
| notlikethesoup | ^ | 13:00 |
| jrwren | well, when you were 1yo, I was 23 times your age! Now i'm only 1.6 times your age. its a curve approaching a minimum. | 13:00 |
| jrwren | oh, i'm saying 15yrs not 16 yrs. You turn 25 in July, I turn 40 in Aug. | 13:01 |
| notlikethesoup | he's got a point | 13:01 |
| mrgoodcat | haha that's one way to look at it | 13:01 |
| notlikethesoup | let's not talk about the math from before we were born | 13:01 |
| cmaloney | Apparently Amazon is rumored to be buying Slack | 17:06 |
| greg-g | for a 9 with 3 commas | 17:07 |
| greg-g | 9 effing billion | 17:07 |
| cmaloney | Ayeeeeep | 17:09 |
| cmaloney | Would love to know what they plan to do with it | 17:09 |
| cmaloney | so I can be smug at the people who said that IRC was for losers. | 17:10 |
| cmaloney | "Wah, I need my EMOJI and GIFs" | 17:10 |
| dzho | "IRC, isn't that what botnets use to coordinate?" | 17:14 |
| dzho | me: yeah, and most bank robbers wear shoes. what's you f'ing point. | 17:15 |
| dzho | your* | 17:15 |
| rick_h | what? AMZ buying slack? I could see MS, or some other folks with groupware type stuff in mind...but wtf would AMZ use it for? | 17:16 |
| rick_h | "now you can ask the seller of your product about the product in real time!" | 17:16 |
| rick_h | meh, I guess with echo and the video calling stuff maybe there's something there to building out a coms network | 17:16 |
| greg-g | dzho: did you see that news story about a botnet now using comments on brittaney spear's instagram posts? | 17:18 |
| dzho | I did! | 17:19 |
| greg-g | what a crazy new world we live in | 17:19 |
| dzho | I, for one, welcome the national security state's deep and offensive intrusion into every aspect of pop culture in the name of keeping us safe. | 17:20 |
| dzho | you can't be too careful, right? | 17:20 |
| dzho | I should have taken better notes, but the way I remember it, we had the shoe bomber, and so then you had to take off your belt and shoes to go through airport checkpoints. | 17:21 |
| dzho | then came the underwear bomber and we all held our breath | 17:21 |
| dzho | and that one guy walked into the airport starkers | 17:22 |
| dzho | but as it happens naturism didn't become the new norm at the airport | 17:22 |
| dzho | but they did roll in the only-slightly-increases-your-risk-of-cancer-what's-the-big-deal porno scanners | 17:23 |
