daftykinsamazing black level + no ugly backlight bleed12:59
diddledanI'm guessing that's the oled?12:59
daftykinsyip, they're the same size but there's a crazy optical illusion from having the old Samsung closer, on the wooden unit12:59
diddledanhah13:00
diddledanI think the optical effect is heightened by the way they're slightly angled in opposing directions, too13:01
daftykinsmmm13:03
daftykinsthe OLED is 5mm thick on the panel XD13:03

zmoylan-piit's interfering in trade in diamonds? :-P13:24
diddledanapple's security patch emails are terrible. EVERYTHING takes the form of: "A <insert feature> issue was addressed with improved <insert feature> handling"13:25
diddledane.g. "Description: Multiple memory corruption issues were addressed through improved state management." and "Description: A memory corruption issue was addressed with improved memory handling."13:26
zmoylan-piwell update notices are awful in general.  there's an update for file manager on my alcatel phone, makes no mention of adding adverts to the app that take up 1/3 of the screen...13:26
diddledan"Description: A validation issue was addressed with improved input sanitization."13:27
foobarryzthe scrolling on this touchpad stops scrolling as soon as you let go. its a bit odd13:28
foobarryzshouldn't it carry on when you swipe?13:28
zmoylan-pino13:28
foobarryzon firefox13:28
foobarryzpretty sure it doesn't feel right13:29
foobarryzits very abrupt13:29

foobarryzwell that sucks13:46
foobarryzits very hard work to get to the bottom of the page13:46
zmoylan-piisn't that why the end button was created?13:48

L0kiHello All, quick question, was getting taught about the MV command today to rename files...the example given was one file named 'motorhead' which had a sentence specific to itself. Another file named 'ramones', again containing text specific to it. the teacher then used the MV command from motorhead to Ramones, thus changing the name (to only motorhead) but also over writing the text contained in Ramones to that contained in motorhead, I thought in this ca17:36
L0kithe teacher thought I was wrong and that for renaming you would only use MV?17:36
daftykins:|17:39
Seeker`riiiiiiiiiiight18:04
