[08:42] 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 [08:43] i'm guessing "Hidden 10" must be somewhere, but I'm just not sure where [09:18] Morning all [09:35] morning boys and girls. [09:37] Good morning brobostigon :) [09:39] Good morning everyone :) [09:57] morning [12:40] anyone here managed to get Netflix to download on a browser on Ubuntu [12:40] I can do it on the app on my phone [12:40] but can't find an app on Ubuntu [12:41] netflix to download what in a browser? [12:41] Netflix runs in a browser [12:41] exactly. [12:41] including firefox in linux [12:42] and chrome. [12:42] which came as a surprise to us all [12:50] I guess she means offline viewing guys [12:50] I've never tried though [12:58] yes [12:58] i have never seen the option to do that. [13:00] You can't do offline viewing, I believe [13:03] hmm I think you can on windows [13:03] They have a windows 'app' [13:03] Windows 10 [13:06] i see, useless for some of us, :) [13:08] I like netflix, don't like win10 so deal with streaming for now, guess I could use my sons Android tabket [13:08] tablet* [13:09] is the tabket the north korean tablet? lol. [13:12] :p [21:34] Is anyone here familiar with ebook readers, which ones are good, which ones are not good, etc? [21:34] Pondering buying one, but don't really know what I should look for [21:36] price of books and how evil the ecosystem provider is would be top i'd imagine :D [21:38] 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] 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] zmoylan-pi: that's amusing, I do actually have my mobile and have read ebooks on a mobile before [21:39] 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] i had a feeling that might be the case :) [21:40] eh, that wouldn't bother me too much, I never go anywhere without a portable battery [21:40] I just feel like e-ink might be easier on the eyes, especially when reading before bed [21:42] 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] 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 [21:43] but yea, think you're right, I'll just stick to my phone [21:43] no point burning money [21:43] and you can always try green text on black background to see if that makes phone screen easier to read which i find [21:44] what app do you use? [21:44] i used to use that HP Touchpad tablet but the low screen res was irritating [21:45] 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] i prefer dead tree to have some off screen time :) [21:46] zmoylan-pi: cool ;) will give it a go [21:46] thanks [21:46] 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 [21:47] zmoylan-pi: eh, gotta get on my level, I carry 25600mAh with me [21:47] and if i dropped the phone when i fell asleep it was a nokia and there was little risk of damaging it [21:50] 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 [21:51] oh... and ereader... :-) [21:52] hehe
