[08:42] <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
[08:43] <thelinuxbox> i'm guessing "Hidden 10" must be somewhere, but I'm just not sure where
[09:18] <diplo> Morning all
[09:35] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:37] <thelinuxbox> Good morning brobostigon :)
[09:39] <thelinuxbox> Good morning everyone :)
[09:57] <brobostigon> morning
[12:40] <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
[12:41] <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
[12:42] <brobostigon> and chrome.
[12:42] <SuperMatt> which came as a surprise to us all
[12:50] <diplo> I guess she means offline viewing guys
[12:50] <diplo> I've never tried though
[12:58] <czajkowski> yes
[12:58] <brobostigon> i have never seen the option to do that.
[13:00] <SuperMatt> You can't do offline viewing, I believe
[13:03] <czajkowski> hmm I think you can on windows
[13:03] <diplo> They have a windows 'app'
[13:03] <diplo> Windows 10
[13:06] <brobostigon> i see, useless for some of us, :)
[13:08] <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*
[13:09] <brobostigon> is the tabket the north korean tablet? lol.
[13:12] <diplo> :p
[21:34] <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
[21:36] <daftykins> price of books and how evil the ecosystem provider is would be top i'd imagine :D
[21:38] <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
[21:39] <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 :)
[21:40] <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
[21:42] <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
[21:43] <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
[21:44] <Azelphur> what app do you use?
[21:44] <daftykins> i used to use that HP Touchpad tablet but the low screen res was irritating
[21:45] <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 :)
[21:46] <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
[21:47] <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
[21:50] <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
[21:51] <zmoylan-pi> oh... and ereader... :-)
[21:52] <Azelphur> hehe
