Dogging

Dogging means following someone closely. Dogging can also refer to: == Slang == Dogging (sexual slang), a British expression for engaging in a public display of sex Dogging, in Scotland refers to truancy Intentional restriction of workforce productivity Navy regulations call for fastening or 'dogging the hatches' to preserve the integrity of the ship. Noodling == Technology == Dogging includes the application of slinging techniques including the selection and inspection of lifting gear, and also covers directing crane or hoist operators in the movement of loads, including when loads are out of...

That Brazilian Guy

@Dog Oh, so that's YOU on this video!

Bob

Journeyman Geek

@tombull89 I don't think most folks here are sufficiently british enough to know what that is.

ArtOfCode

@JourneymanGeek I am :P

Bob

I think I had "Holo" on the N8 before "Classic" was even a thing.

Dog

@ArtOfCode Oh, thanks! :-D

ArtOfCode

11:04 AM

@Dog woof

Dog

@Bob Swiftkey has a "Holo" one too, which is nice, but not nearly as small keys as the Samsung one

@ArtOfCode Woof woof!

Bob

@Dog How does the Samsung one compare to the Swype one? :P

Dog

I guess I need to change my "About me" too

ArtOfCode

Your profile does now read as "Dog — I'm a cat" though, you might want to change that.

That Brazilian Guy

...or not

Dog

11:04 AM

@ArtOfCode Actually put it that way, that's kinda funny

Bob

Oh, I just checked for myself. Pretty similar.

jokerdino

Don't think cats want to be dogs though.

Dog

@Bob IIRC Samsung one is a licensed skinned copy of Swype

Bob

@Dog ...not surprised

11:05 AM

I think my S2 might've come with Swype

N8 had it available free, I think

jokerdino

@ThatBrazilianGuy latin cat?

Dog

@Bob Somehow the one on my S4 feels like the buttons are a lot smaller than on your screenshot

That Brazilian Guy

@jokerdino -_-

Bob

@Dog maybe the smaller screen?

oh, the buttons are smaller on the Samsung one

jokerdino

@ThatBrazilianGuy oh, barking cat.

WTF Imgur, still?!

It was black on the pre-Lollipop firmware though:

But yeah, somehow the smaller keys being more precise targets seriously improve my accuracy.

And the autocucumber/prediction is a lot better than I remember it being, and doesn't require you to manually tap the correction anymore, so all in all, it's sufficiently un-shit for me to have not bothered installing Swiftkey

Burgi

i saw this earlier: superuser.com/questions/1106239/pc-with-32-screen-matrix-freaks

what on earth would you use such a matrix for?

Dog

That Brazilian Guy

@Burgi Yeah we all saw it. And drooled a bit.

Dog

And aside from Holo all the skins on Swiftkey are *shit

That Brazilian Guy

@Burgi ~~Porn~~ ~~gaming~~ work.

Dog

11:13 AM

@Burgi Proving to all the "NVidia drivers are way better than AMD's" fanboys that really, NVidia drivers are shit

Burgi

heh

Dog

I think the NVidia drivers are only optimized to be able to render a 8kx4k surface and falls to bits on anything higher.

Bob

@Dog how are you uploading?

I'm using opengur :P

there was a better imgur app but they stopped when the crappy official one was released

@Dog oh wow that's tinier than mine

That Brazilian Guy

@Bob Hmm let me test it

Dog

@Bob Web browser

Bob

11:17 AM

@Dog I always turn off the tap autocorrect :P

Dog

The new active/dynamic/woo lets use jquery because zomfg wow/crap desktop site is shit

Bob

@Dog ah, weird

Dog

@Bob I've never used the stock keyboard long enough to know there was a setting >_>

Evidently the new version defaults to it off though.

Bob

@Dog sorry, I mean I turn off the autocorrect for tapping -_-

Dog

@Bob Autocucumber

Bob

11:19 AM

cause swype does it anyway, but I want my text verbatim if I ever need to tap

Dog

Does Swype let you select from alternate swiping predictions yet?

Bob

@Dog yea

it... always has

tombull89

Am I the only one who doesn't like predictive text?

Dog

Hmm.

Bob

2 mins ago, by Bob

@Dog I always turn off the tap autocorrect :P

Burgi

11:20 AM

@tombull89 yes

Bob

The whole swiping thing does predictive text by nature, but I don't like it when I'm tapping cause it's wrong more often than right

DavidPostill

@tombull89 No

Bob

'course, most of the time if I need to tap then swiping has already failed

@tombull89 I was complaining about it.

@bob @Dog do you have this issue with your keyboards?

@Burgi issue?

oh, I turned off that one too

WTF opengur

Dog

That Brazilian Guy

@Bob I was taking a pic of the bikes display. No idea what the guy is doing there...

Dog

I'm too lazy to opengur

Also I think Swiftkey might be too stupid to distinguish the typed and include-reply part of emails...

That Brazilian Guy

Bye persons (humans and otherwise), time for me to go to work

Dog

(Swiftkey initial "learning" uses your sent emails from gmail for example)

tombull89

@ChatBotJohnCavil I've done that with friends on a night out, mostly hilarious result

@Burgi It's not an Olympic area. The electricity and plumbing works, and no fire hazards so far...

Burgi

yes

Dog

I'd have changed that sooner but the stupid website tries to obfuscate images by putting a transparant <p> and <div> over them to stop you right clicking to copy url -_-

I mean seriously, gtfo. You realise that shit doesn't work right? Now that all browsers have right click => Inspect.

wow...

our customer's new product is called "pro-straight"

Dog

At least it's not Straighty McStraightFace

Ben N

@Burgi I give it one month before there's a lawsuit, depending on which country you live in

:p

What does the product do?

Burgi

3:49 PM

its a pipe

DavidPostill

hair straighteners?

Ben N

Like a plumbing pipe, or a smoking pipe?

Burgi

Ben N

I didn't know construction materials had product names

Can't wait till I get to use Windows 10 on my desktop... though I'll only have a desktop for like, 1.5 weeks

Burgi

3:51 PM

can't say any more its embargo'd. but yeah we're changing the name now....

Dog

@BenN Well, how else do you figure out you want to buy concrete from Pro-Concretes-R-Us instead of Generic-Concrete-Retailer-35

Ben N

I just go to Menards

Dog

Most products have at least brand names, if not product names. Unless they're store own-brand stuff.

Our street mobile phone transmitters are on Hutchison Elara poles for example. Having previously been upgraded from Jupiter poles. And are hooked up to Vulcan cabinets.

Because... well... it's useful to be able to refer to a type by name instead of... "450mmx15m grey pole with three side access hatches for MHAs"....

DavidPostill

@Burgi Why are you changing the name? It's not that outrageous. There are plenty of other products called "pro straight".

Dog

Also if your product is distinct/unique in some way. Like, SuperPipe with Extra Elite Functionality

Ben N

3:55 PM

It's probably OK for a construction material, but probably super inadvisable for a widely-facing product

Burgi

@DavidPostill we've had issues with this customer

Dog

Pro-Bent

But then if it's just <product tier><pipe shape> it makes sorta sense

"Basic Straight" "Pro Straight" "Basic corner" "Pro corner" etc.

DavidPostill

@BenN Wella don't seem to mind. That is very customer facing wella.com/professional/en-EN/product/appliances/…

There seem to be hundreds of hair products called "Pro Straight"

Ben N

Fair enough :)
