[11:30] <cmaloney> morning
[11:36] <notlikethesoup> morning
[11:36] <notlikethesoup> my desktop is borked and i'm stumped
[11:36] <notlikethesoup> it will not boot into absolutely anything
[11:37] <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?
[11:38] <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
[12:17] <mrgoodcat> notlikethesoup: its still busted?
[12:18] <mrgoodcat> i thought you said when i was there you were going to have it up and running soon
[12:22] <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
[12:23] <cmaloney> notlikethesoup: Have you tried turning it off and on again?
[12:23] <mrgoodcat> ^^
[12:24] <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
[12:25] <notlikethesoup> cmaloney: lol maybe times
[12:26] <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
[12:47] <jrwren> Good morning.
[12:47] <notlikethesoup> o/
[12:48] <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.
[12:49] <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
[12:50] <notlikethesoup> good idea though
[12:51] <jrwren> 22yrs ago I got a job in PC repair. It was only a little bit different back then. The same troubleshooting procedures apply.
[12:54] <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?
[12:55] <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
[12:56] <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
[12:58] <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
[12:59] <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
[13:00] <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.
[13:01] <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
[17:06] <cmaloney> Apparently Amazon is rumored to be buying Slack
[17:07] <greg-g> for a 9 with 3 commas
[17:07] <greg-g> 9 effing billion
[17:09] <cmaloney> Ayeeeeep
[17:09] <cmaloney> Would love to know what they plan to do with it
[17:10] <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"
[17:14] <dzho> "IRC, isn't that what botnets use to coordinate?"
[17:15] <dzho> me: yeah, and most bank robbers wear shoes. what's you f'ing point.
[17:15] <dzho> your*
[17:16] <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
[17:18] <greg-g> dzho: did you see that news story about a botnet now using comments on brittaney spear's instagram posts?
[17:19] <dzho> I did!
[17:19] <greg-g> what a crazy new world we live in
[17:20] <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?
[17:21] <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
[17:22] <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
[17:23] <dzho> but they did roll in the only-slightly-increases-your-risk-of-cancer-what's-the-big-deal porno scanners
