| thelinuxbox | hi, i'm messing around with the ubuntu iso contents, i was wondering if this screen can be disabled https://i.stack.imgur.com/GtEi5.png so instead of the iso booting to that blank screen it boots to the hidden menu behind it, the menu that looks like this > https://i.stack.imgur.com/FfEwE.png | 08:42 |
|---|---|---|
| thelinuxbox | i'm guessing "Hidden 10" must be somewhere, but I'm just not sure where | 08:43 |
| diplo | Morning all | 09:18 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:35 |
| thelinuxbox | Good morning brobostigon :) | 09:37 |
| thelinuxbox | Good morning everyone :) | 09:39 |
| brobostigon | morning | 09:57 |
| czajkowski | anyone here managed to get Netflix to download on a browser on Ubuntu | 12:40 |
| czajkowski | I can do it on the app on my phone | 12:40 |
| czajkowski | but can't find an app on Ubuntu | 12:40 |
| brobostigon | netflix to download what in a browser? | 12:41 |
| SuperMatt | Netflix runs in a browser | 12:41 |
| brobostigon | exactly. | 12:41 |
| SuperMatt | including firefox in linux | 12:41 |
| brobostigon | and chrome. | 12:42 |
| SuperMatt | which came as a surprise to us all | 12:42 |
| diplo | I guess she means offline viewing guys | 12:50 |
| diplo | I've never tried though | 12:50 |
| czajkowski | yes | 12:58 |
| brobostigon | i have never seen the option to do that. | 12:58 |
| SuperMatt | You can't do offline viewing, I believe | 13:00 |
| czajkowski | hmm I think you can on windows | 13:03 |
| diplo | They have a windows 'app' | 13:03 |
| diplo | Windows 10 | 13:03 |
| brobostigon | i see, useless for some of us, :) | 13:06 |
| diplo | I like netflix, don't like win10 so deal with streaming for now, guess I could use my sons Android tabket | 13:08 |
| diplo | tablet* | 13:08 |
| brobostigon | is the tabket the north korean tablet? lol. | 13:09 |
| diplo | :p | 13:12 |
| Azelphur | Is anyone here familiar with ebook readers, which ones are good, which ones are not good, etc? | 21:34 |
| Azelphur | Pondering buying one, but don't really know what I should look for | 21:34 |
| daftykins | price of books and how evil the ecosystem provider is would be top i'd imagine :D | 21:36 |
| zmoylan-pi | i've been using ereaders since i first downloaded etexts for my then palm iiix. i've had 4-5 e-ink ereaders. they work well, have great battery life, work fine outdoors in direct sunlight, it's like reading paper. and i kept going back to using my cheap tiny phone screens for reading ebooks. less hassle | 21:38 |
| Azelphur | I'm only really concerned with my ability to place ebooks on the device that were downloaded elsewhere, I have no interest in an ecosystem/store | 21:38 |
| Azelphur | zmoylan-pi: that's amusing, I do actually have my mobile and have read ebooks on a mobile before | 21:38 |
| zmoylan-pi | it works fine on dumb phones but whe you have a smart phone a part of your brain is constantly reminding you that you are draining the battery reading a book... | 21:39 |
| daftykins | i had a feeling that might be the case :) | 21:39 |
| Azelphur | eh, that wouldn't bother me too much, I never go anywhere without a portable battery | 21:40 |
| Azelphur | I just feel like e-ink might be easier on the eyes, especially when reading before bed | 21:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | e-ink is definitely more easy on the eyes than smart phones. also better when outdoors in direct sun light. but it's another device to charge/carry/care for which irked me | 21:42 |
| Azelphur | suppose so, for me I'm only really one for before-bed reading anyway, so it'd probably be right next to a cable always anyway | 21:42 |
| Azelphur | but yea, think you're right, I'll just stick to my phone | 21:43 |
| Azelphur | no point burning money | 21:43 |
| zmoylan-pi | and you can always try green text on black background to see if that makes phone screen easier to read which i find | 21:43 |
| Azelphur | what app do you use? | 21:44 |
| daftykins | i used to use that HP Touchpad tablet but the low screen res was irritating | 21:44 |
| zmoylan-pi | well on my dumb nokia asha 302 i use albite a java app that works very well... on android which i use as a media player, pod catcher i use cool reader | 21:45 |
| daftykins | i prefer dead tree to have some off screen time :) | 21:45 |
| Azelphur | zmoylan-pi: cool ;) will give it a go | 21:46 |
| Azelphur | thanks | 21:46 |
| zmoylan-pi | when i was in hospital last year for 7 weeks the dumb nokia was dead handy as ereader as it only needed charging once a week | 21:46 |
| Azelphur | zmoylan-pi: eh, gotta get on my level, I carry 25600mAh with me | 21:47 |
| zmoylan-pi | and if i dropped the phone when i fell asleep it was a nokia and there was little risk of damaging it | 21:47 |
| zmoylan-pi | yes but by using the nokia i can last a week with mp3s for music and audio books and comedies, fm radio, web, email, irc, rss, java games | 21:50 |
| zmoylan-pi | oh... and ereader... :-) | 21:51 |
| Azelphur | hehe | 21:52 |
