immugood afternoon gentlemen08:55
immugentlemens :)08:55
BluesKajHi immu you were right the first time08:59
oerheks_insomnia, yeah, lately09:00
ducassesame here, all the light i guess09:01
immumeaning BluesKaj :) i added a S09:01
BluesKajmen is already plural . man is singular09:01
immuyeah09:03
BluesKajunless of course it was a joke or some such09:03
immukind offf09:03

immuhttp://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/07/ubuntu-automatically-switch-sound-bluetooth09:06
BluesKajbluetooth speakers are battery kijjers ...a pita09:09
BluesKajkillers even09:10
BluesKajI guess they'll last if they're not played too loud09:11
immuif you got bluetooth speakers its nice to see the Os switch to it automatically, you use it or don't its upto you09:21
BluesKajmy friend's JBL BT speaker sounded great, but he compained about the battery needing recharging quite often09:24
immualways buy with DC power. if you don't want stuff dying on you09:27
ducassethe whole point with bt is no wires, if you need dc power just buy wired stuff09:28
BluesKajthe bass response was quite amazing from such a small enclosure. We were away from any power source so it needed the battery..lithium ion I think09:29
immumine idea is a bluetooth speaker powered by DC , at some corner in the room and you can njoy the music, video or any audio while working at your desk :)09:31
BluesKajI'm an old audio guy so my pc is connected to a fairly large audio system and TV. I've had a simiiar audio setup since the early 70's09:37
BluesKajno computer of course, but TV audio thru a hifi audio system was very new then and required a simple line level connection from the audio preamp ion the TV to a hifi amplifier09:39
BluesKajmono sound , but it was FM quality09:40

EriC^^i was born in the us15:25
EriC^^my parents are lebanese though15:25
EriC^^raised here since i was 5-6years old15:25
EriC^^there are 400+ users in #ubuntu-unregged15:45
EriC^^i guess those are people who have their irc clients like irc cloud and such autojoin15:46
EriC^^and they're not on their accounts right now15:46
ducassethere's always a *ton* of people in #ubuntu who never seem to follow the channel anyway15:51
EriC^^yeah15:51
EriC^^we used to joke that most of the users are bots15:51
EriC^^1/3 are confirmed, i guess the rest in the channel 1/2 aren't on the pc but the irc client is properly configured15:52
BluesKajheh, autojoin is still enabled, but the users don't realize it15:56
BluesKajruns in the taskbar on windows so they don't notice15:57
BluesKajlike skype15:57
ducassein general, users aren't well-known for their technical insight ;)15:57
BluesKajI had to use a hack to get rid of unwanted skype on wife's pc since it's enabled by default at boot and was clearly using needed resources.16:00
BluesKajwifes pc has W716:01
ducasseseems obvious to me that things like skype should definitely not be running unless you tell it to, and disabling should be doable with a single click16:05
BluesKajducasse, skype in now a default enabled app on windows, which runs ready to be launched but using resources for no reason16:24
BluesKajbloatware16:25
BluesKajanyway we defeated it by removing it from windows update then uninbstalling from add removr programs16:27
BluesKajwe use the update the hosts file method and so far it's working, if anyone is interested, https://superuser.com/questions/730791/prevent-a-windows-update-from-ever-installing16:33
BluesKajalso it was preventing wife's pc from shutting down, some kind of bug16:35
immuUpdates from Windows should not be blocked16:37
BluesKajit only blocks skype from being reinstalled, she had a windows update yesterday, and she's been skype free for over a week'16:39
immuwhy block skype?16:40
BluesKajwe don't use it16:40
BluesKajand it's buggy16:41
immuno its not, i use it. on Windows, iphone, android.16:42
BluesKajwell it is here16:42
immuwhats the issue?16:42
immui am using it on Windows10 but i don't like the newer version, i like the classic one .16:43
BluesKajI'm not advising you to remove it, I'm merely relating our experience with it16:43
immubut yes the new update on mobile platform is confusing , they should have kept it simple but they are trying to imitate snapchat and instagram all in one16:43
immui am also relating my experience :) isn't it.16:44
BluesKajducasse, skype in now a default enabled app on windows, which runs ready to be launched but using resources for no reason, and preventing wife's pc from shutting down16:45
BluesKajoops immu^16:45
BluesKajI posted that earleir16:45
immuits ok16:47
immui am not so of a stiff person16:47
BluesKaji didn't mean to highlight du-casse nick tho16:49
immubut you can always keep apps from auto starting at boot time16:51
immuits your PC afterall16:52
BluesKajit's done , not worried about it anymore16:53
immudon't you use skype to keep in touch with your family?16:53
BluesKajshe didn't want it on her pc, she asked me to get rid of it so I did16:54
immui rest my case then :)16:56
BluesKajmy family doesn't use skype, we use google talk if needed but we mostly use the phone16:56
BluesKajwe all use voip phones , so there are no worries about long distance charges16:58
immuoke17:01
immubrb rebooting into windows to perform maintenance and updates17:02
immui am back on Windows, did i commit blasphemy here ? :)17:13
