[11:30] morning [11:36] morning [11:36] my desktop is borked and i'm stumped [11:36] it will not boot into absolutely anything [11:37] i already RMAd my motherboard, and gigabyte said it was fine and sent it back [11:37] Even from external media? [11:37] i tried a linux USB to no avail [11:37] front and back USB ports [11:37] Did you somehow turn secure boot on? [11:38] i _believe_ not, i won't be able to check until after work [11:38] the bios got reset, so it's basically just whatever stock settings [11:38] my overclocking is no more :( [11:38] but that's fine [12:17] notlikethesoup: its still busted? [12:18] i thought you said when i was there you were going to have it up and running soon [12:22] mrgoodcat: lol well gigabyte took their sweet time with it [12:22] but i just put it back together finally on tuesday [12:22] spent about 4-5 hours on it since then trying to troubleshoot to no avail [12:22] and its still borked [12:22] morning [12:23] notlikethesoup: Have you tried turning it off and on again? [12:23] ^^ [12:24] 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] cmaloney: lol maybe times [12:26] i've had better luck using onboard graphics; trying to boot into windows i would freeze at the windows logo loading screen [12:26] but with onboard i can at least get to the advanced startup [12:26] however, still won't boot when i try to just continue into windows [12:47] Good morning. [12:47] o/ [12:48] 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] notlikethesoup: then, one by one component plug each thing in, with it out of case, check htat it runs that way. [12:49] notlikethesoup: then, if you must, mount it in a case and do the same procedure. [12:49] i have not gone that in-depth yet, no [12:50] good idea though [12:51] 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] 22 years? i'm not sure why but I always assumed that you were my age [12:54] you look younger over IRC [12:54] are you older than me? [12:55] lol no [12:55] I always assumed you were 43 this year. [12:55] i'm 24 [12:55] * jrwren chokes on coffee. [12:55] unless you were repairing pcs when you were 2 [12:55] I have that youthful attitude about me. [12:55] i'm fairly sure i even met you once at chc [12:55] never would have guessed you had 20 years on me [12:56] 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] well, only 16 yrs on you. lets not get hasty and call it 20. [12:56] haha [12:58] wait you're only 24? [12:58] shit i thought you were at least a few years older than me [12:58] i'll be 25 in july [12:58] you've got 5 months on me [12:59] 15yrs on you then. :p [12:59] see, we keep getting closer and closer. [12:59] no he's younger than me [13:00] ^ [13:00] 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] oh, i'm saying 15yrs not 16 yrs. You turn 25 in July, I turn 40 in Aug. [13:01] he's got a point [13:01] haha that's one way to look at it [13:01] let's not talk about the math from before we were born [17:06] Apparently Amazon is rumored to be buying Slack [17:07] for a 9 with 3 commas [17:07] 9 effing billion [17:09] Ayeeeeep [17:09] Would love to know what they plan to do with it [17:10] so I can be smug at the people who said that IRC was for losers. [17:10] "Wah, I need my EMOJI and GIFs" [17:14] "IRC, isn't that what botnets use to coordinate?" [17:15] me: yeah, and most bank robbers wear shoes. what's you f'ing point. [17:15] your* [17:16] 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] "now you can ask the seller of your product about the product in real time!" [17:16] meh, I guess with echo and the video calling stuff maybe there's something there to building out a coms network [17:18] dzho: did you see that news story about a botnet now using comments on brittaney spear's instagram posts? [17:19] I did! [17:19] what a crazy new world we live in [17:20] 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] you can't be too careful, right? [17:21] 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] then came the underwear bomber and we all held our breath [17:22] and that one guy walked into the airport starkers [17:22] but as it happens naturism didn't become the new norm at the airport [17:23] but they did roll in the only-slightly-increases-your-risk-of-cancer-what's-the-big-deal porno scanners
