[09:53] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[10:46] <SuperMatt> good morning mr brobostigon, good morning eeeverybody
[10:46] <brobostigon> morning SuperMatt
[10:48] <zmoylan-pi> morning mammals...
[12:49] <m0nkey_> I want this for my flight simming.. https://www.logitechg.com/en-ca/product/flight-sim-yoke-system
[12:50] <zmoylan-pi> you'll be crap at typing on that... :-P
[12:51] <daftykins> ah the new TV arrived at last, just put in my new receiver and am enjoying the fun of underspec HDMI cables :)
[12:51] <daftykins> got my desktop PC connected and a game running at 4K on the go
[12:52] <m0nkey_> heh, yeah. probably only get 3 WPM
[12:52] <zmoylan-pi> give me a w! *pew* *pew* *pew*
[12:53] <diddledan> on the plus side, those tai fighters don't stand a chance
[12:53] <zmoylan-pi> pity you work for the empire...
[12:58] <daftykins> OLED vs LCD https://i.imgur.com/1iSqR6X.jpg
[12:58] <diddledan> the one om the left
[12:58] <daftykins> is what :P
[12:58] <diddledan> is better
[12:58] <daftykins> yus!
[12:59] <daftykins> amazing black level + no ugly backlight bleed
[12:59] <diddledan> I'm guessing that's the oled?
[12:59] <daftykins> yip, they're the same size but there's a crazy optical illusion from having the old Samsung closer, on the wooden unit
[13:00] <diddledan> hah
[13:01] <diddledan> I think the optical effect is heightened by the way they're slightly angled in opposing directions, too
[13:03] <daftykins> mmm
[13:03] <daftykins> the OLED is 5mm thick on the panel XD

[13:03] <daftykins> cheese cutting++
[13:04] <diddledan> wow, that's skinny
[13:04] <diddledan> and here I was thinking LED backlighting made for thin panels
[13:08] <foobarryz> trying to install retropie on ubuntu...seems to be compiling from scratch :(
[13:09] <daftykins> o0
[13:09] <foobarryz> probably a bit late to check if there's a package now
[13:09] <daftykins> naaah :P
[13:09] <foobarryz> seems to be a retroarch one
[13:16] <diddledan> bitcoin regulation: http://www.techradar.com/news/uk-government-is-cracking-down-on-criminal-usage-of-bitcoin
[13:24] <zmoylan-pi> it's interfering in trade in diamonds? :-P
[13:25] <diddledan> apple's security patch emails are terrible. EVERYTHING takes the form of: "A <insert feature> issue was addressed with improved <insert feature> handling"
[13:26] <diddledan> e.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-pi> well 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...
[13:27] <diddledan> "Description: A validation issue was addressed with improved input sanitization."
[13:28] <foobarryz> the scrolling on this touchpad stops scrolling as soon as you let go. its a bit odd
[13:28] <foobarryz> shouldn't it carry on when you swipe?
[13:28] <zmoylan-pi> no
[13:28] <foobarryz> on firefox
[13:29] <foobarryz> pretty sure it doesn't feel right
[13:29] <foobarryz> its very abrupt
[13:29] <zmoylan-pi> and in other apps other than firefox?
[13:31] <foobarryz> chromium and terminal too
[13:32] <zmoylan-pi> so, os related more than firefox
[13:32] <foobarryz> same issue. can't think of the words to tell google about it
[13:32] <zmoylan-pi> distro, version?
[13:32] <zmoylan-pi> scroll abruptness lag
[13:34] <foobarryz> mate 17.10
[13:34] <diddledan> "sudden catastrophic loss of linear motion"
[13:35] <diddledan> that'll definitely find relevant pages
[13:35]  * diddledan nods
[13:41] <foobarryz> scrolling inertia libinput
[13:44] <foobarryz> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1225643
[13:44] <lubotu3> bugzilla.redhat.com bug 1225643 in libinput "Touchpad scolling does not have momentum anymore" [Medium,Closed: notabug]
[13:46] <foobarryz> well that sucks
[13:46] <foobarryz> its very hard work to get to the bottom of the page
[13:48] <zmoylan-pi> isn't that why the end button was created?
[13:48] <daftykins> got the tickboxes for smooth and autoscrolling on?
[13:52] <diddledan> another "any user can get root" issue in macos: https://m4.rkw.io/blog/macos-high-sierra-10131-insecure-cron-system.html
[13:54] <daftykins> nice
[13:54] <zmoylan-pi> they're just trying to be (ab)user friendly
[13:54] <diddledan> I'm friendly with my abuser, too
[13:54] <diddledan> he's a cool guy except when he's flogging me
[13:54] <daftykins> now get back to work :D
[13:54] <zmoylan-pi> does he charge extra for that
[13:57] <diddledan> he doesn't, no. he just likes to do it for fun
[14:00] <zmoylan-pi> always nice to see people who like their job

[17:36] <L0ki> Hello 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 ca
[17:36] <L0ki> the teacher thought I was wrong and that for renaming you would only use MV?
[17:39] <daftykins> :|
[18:04] <Seeker`> riiiiiiiiiiight
[18:05] <daftykins> gotta love the insta-quitters
[18:12] <diddledan> gotta love IRC clients that don't respect the IRCd's capabilities statement
[18:12] <diddledan> i.e. "I thought in this ca".... huh?
[18:14] <daftykins> mmm
[18:14] <daftykins> think i only upgraded to an irssi that could handle and split that recently
[19:36] <zmoylan-pi> dagnabit, this is irc and we're supposed to have sentences that cut out just when it comes to the interesting pa
[19:42] <daftykins> rtridge in a pear tree
[19:42] <daftykins> sorry, bit of crosstalk
