Anyone who still teaches classful addressing as anything other than history needs to <suitably horrible fate>.

Burgi

@djsmiley2k any context on this?

Bob

@djsmiley2k to turn my cash into purchases. and mostly because I'm curious.

Nick

@Bob be defenstrated and have their head shoved up uranus straight out of the bleeding neck of the "solar" system.

Burgi

steady on now

djsmiley2k

@Burgi rain, yesterday

Gypsy Spellweaver

8:05 AM

@Rahul2001 If you need me to pull the chat up on my ancient tiny mobiles for inspection, just ping me. Off to play with my traffic signals.

Burgi

had i been talking about rain?

Nick

I'm just pissed about the auto-disable. I still can't find out why,. Been digging my system for the whole morning now. It's the afternoon and I still don't know what's wrong.

Burgi

have you checked eventvwr?

have you checked for updated drivers?

Nick

@Burgi That reminds me. I have install RainMeter. I hear it's good. What do you think?

@Burgi Yes. I updated all the drivers. It still happens.

@Burgi No, I didn't check there. Not yet.

Burgi

@Nick IF something stops working, for no reason, start by going backwards with recent changes - updates to software, drivers and hardware.

Burgi

dude its where windows logs its errors, its literally the first place you should look

djsmiley2k

it's like 'this event happened!'

:D

the /var/log/messages of windows

or journald if you're systemd infiltrated

Bob

@GypsySpellweaver thank you

Nick

Recent Changes: ShareX, Cyberlink Screen Recorder, Camtasia Snagit...

Something is off with my keyboard too. The comma,,, keeps dripping...

Gypsy Spellweaver

Screen recorder looks like a good target

Burgi

8:10 AM

fracking client services...

Oliver Salzburg

The Windows Event Log - the place to read stuff like "An unhandled, critical event happened. To learn about the details, check the event log."

Nick

@Burgi Fracking is the process of injecting liquid at high pressure into subterranean rocks, boreholes, etc. so as to force open existing fissures and extract oil or gas.

Burgi

CS > why aren't you going to work the ENTIRE weekend?

Nick

@OliverSalzburg So true.

djsmiley2k

@Burgi lul

Burgi

8:11 AM

me > I've worked to 3am for 3 nights in a row

djsmiley2k

ooooo overtime

Burgi

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

unpaid overtime

Oliver Salzburg

@Burgi At what time do you start?

Burgi

yesterday i started at 0930

Oliver Salzburg

That sucks

What are you doing all night?

Bob

8:13 AM

@GypsySpellweaver I got sick of repeating that at some point :P

Feb 15 '14 at 0:34, by Bob

if your answer to "what was last changed" is "nothing", then the question is now "what was changed before nothing"

Gypsy Spellweaver

@Burgi I had one job where they had to kick me out of the office. So I remoted in instead:/

djsmiley2k

@OliverSalzburg more importantly, why are you...

Burgi

@OliverSalzburg i'm having to rebuild this crappy search tool in umbraco

Nick

@Burgi I cannot discern any useful information from these logs. Also,,, is key event management what I think it means?

@Bob You should get a twitter

Journeyman Geek

auto disable of what?

Nick

8:18 AM

@JourneymanGeek mouse cursor and audio recording device. Although, I suspect the latter existed previously as well and I didn't notice still I started using the laptop's mic.

0_0

are they both USB?

@Burgi No, inbuilt.

@Nick ? why

so USB

8:19 AM

@Burgi I'm not in touch with a lot these days, but if I see thing correctly, you have to pay someone to use their Open Source product with umbraco?

Nick

It's the Lenovo ideapad 100

Journeyman Geek

device manager has any !?

eww

There's your problem

hmm. stock or upgraded OS?

Nick

@JourneymanGeek unactivated Win10

Journeyman Geek

....

Burgi

activate win10

Nick

8:20 AM

I also have Ubuntu 16.04 and that has no problems really.

@Burgi Will you pay the money?

Journeyman Geek

I'm wondering if its a windows 8 box...

Nick

@JourneymanGeek What do you mean by that? How do I check?

Burgi

@Nick i did buy win10

Bob

github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/pkg/namesgenerator/…

Journeyman Geek

if so, then some synaptics devices don't work with newer drivers

Burgi

8:21 AM

i no longer run any illegal software on my systems

Nick

@Burgi I'm sure your activation code won't work for me.

Journeyman Geek

so you should try the last windows 8 driver

Bob

@Burgi "no longer" :P

Journeyman Geek

but its going to die in 90 days anyway

Nick

@Burgi Unactived isn't illegal. You just have to suffer that watermark...Right?

Journeyman Geek

8:21 AM

@Nick and random reboots

and...

Burgi

@Bob i went legit in 2008

Bob

@JourneymanGeek I think they stopped those as of 10

Nick

@JourneymanGeek I do that constantly any way. I open a gajillion chrome tabs and the system starts to lag.

djsmiley2k

Bob

Oliver Salzburg

@djsmiley2k Hey! :D

Bob

8:29 AM

FatGloriousMummy

Oliver Salzburg

@djsmiley2k Working. But I'm self-employed ;D

Rahul2001

@Burgi Honestly, I do still have some illegitimate software, but I don't use it

Burgi

@Rahul2001 you should know better

Journeyman Geek

The closest thing I have to 'pirated' software is a few things that are nagware or on honesty based shareware

which I intend to pay for eventually

Burgi

winrar and the like

Journeyman Geek

8:33 AM

eww

sublime text and cyberduck

Bob

LimpBouncyRaven

satibel

I have a few programs that trust a disabled button to prevent people from clicking "continue trial" or that trust the clock.

Rahul2001

@Burgi Everything is overly expensive here in India. Plus, economy, I'd have to save pocket money up for more than a year to purchase Photoshop

djsmiley2k

@OliverSalzburg Ah ok then that makes sense... but I meant, why is @Burgi doing it

@Rahul2001 do you need photoshop?

no.

Burgi

@djsmiley2k because i'm an idiot

djsmiley2k

8:42 AM

I've answered for you xD

@Burgi I'd say you'v got too much emotional connection, but you can say that too if you wish.

Burgi

isn't photoshop $10/mth?

Gypsy Spellweaver

Isn't GIMP free?

satibel

unless you would make enough money from using it, don't buy photoshop.

Bob

@GypsySpellweaver free, yes. terrible UX, yes

I'd take Paint.NET over GIMP

unless you really need something complex

Burgi

@djsmiley2k probably

a neat trick is to "borrow" the license from work

as long as you aren't using it at the same time as your work machine its fine

oh and you are still employed

Gypsy Spellweaver

8:45 AM

<-- Not a graphic designer, nor photographer. What little I do with images gets done easily with GIMP, if not the CLI.

satibel

@Bob you can use paint instead youtube.com/watch?v=v2g5qbvb7F4

djsmiley2k

@Burgi it's fine with Adobe, the employer might not agree.

Burgi

@djsmiley2k don't ask, don't tell

djsmiley2k

@GypsySpellweaver <<< Studied graphic design and multimedia in College, uses gimp if he cares enough

@Burgi hehe

just pointing it out ;)

Burgi

most companies are fine with it if you are using it at home

satibel

8:47 AM

gimp has a "put everything in one window" mode now, so it's not really terrible.

Journeyman Geek

about. damned. time

PDN is the only thing I find usable

Gypsy Spellweaver

Never worked a place with tools I'd use at home. More often the other way around.

satibel

djsmiley2k

ah much better, nice

satibel

this is how I have it set up here.

Rahul2001

8:49 AM

@djsmiley2k occasionally, because of school projects

Use PDN now though

satibel

Windows > Single-Window Mode
since GIMP 2.8

djsmiley2k

@Rahul2001 lol

oh the joys of 'my school says I need it'

Rahul2001

@djsmiley2k School uses all pirated software itself

Gypsy Spellweaver

I keep the tools on the left screen with my monitors and the main window on the right, where I do most of my work anyway.

Rahul2001

My school will even give you a pirated copy if you ask for it

Nick

8:51 AM

@satibel I love Gimp.

@satibel Thank you. I need that. A pirated photoshop came preloaded with my system but I thought it was spyware during my "paranoid period". I still haven't found a decent cracked version online :(

djsmiley2k

@satibel i clicked, immedately closed after thinking about the url

satibel

@djsmiley2k rofl Bring the Gimp!

Nick

@satibel THAT SHIT IS DANGEROUS!!

satibel

news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7481091

saw that.

yup, used the old one/

Nick

@satibel do you have the thing. I could proabably set up another site for it.

satibel

8:57 AM

@JourneymanGeek can you add a warning to my post or delete it? chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/37508754#37508754

@Nick it was for 2.2 or something like that, 2.8 adds the single window mode on the official source.

Nick

Can you dig out all the versions from somehere, I'll host it.

Otherwise, I'll make another malware site...again...

djsmiley2k

archive.org?

else we can flag ur post

:D

satibel

I don't want to be flagged :p

Nick

@djsmiley2k Couldn't find it there. Oh, you mean the waybackmachine. Did that link ever have the official thing?

Burgi

on the phone to godaddy about this ssl

sigh

satibel

9:02 AM

sourceforge gimpshop mirror <- the good version.

Journeyman Geek

@djsmiley2k its gone

Burgi

its on sourceforge, also infested with adware

satibel

thanks btw.

scan the source if you want ^^

but it's gimp 2.2

and 2.8 adds what gimpshop did mostly.

Burgi

how do americans manage to sound so happy all the time?

satibel

@Burgi guns and violance :3

Bob

9:05 AM

I feel like there's something wrong with that image

djsmiley2k

@Burgi stupidity

you never meet an inteligent happy american

Bob

@satibel looking at the source tells you nothing

djsmiley2k

@Bob the photo, or the image within the photo?

satibel

@Bob compile the source after checking.

Bob

@djsmiley2k the latter

djsmiley2k

9:07 AM

github.com/cttynul/gimpshop-reloaded

satibel

it's the old (discontinued) version

Bob

@satibel even that's not enough underhanded-c.org

djsmiley2k

@Bob Why would your news come on a clipboard?

Journeyman Geek

I think its a tablet

satibel

anyways, as djsmiley2k has pointed, gimpshop-reloaded seem to be the right one.

Burgi

9:15 AM

> Please continue to hold as we cannot wait to exceed your expectations

Bob

@djsmiley2k the issue is more that apparently gossip = news

djsmiley2k

@Bob well it's in newspapers so......

satibel

@Bob they are just being honest.

djsmiley2k

my god, so tired

Gypsy Spellweaver

@Burgi Is GoDaddy the source of the EV cert?

Journeyman Geek

9:31 AM

....

We have an XP SP2 box

satibel

@JourneymanGeek "an", we still have 5-6 XP boxes.

djsmiley2k

we talking work?

I think one of our clients tills runs XP by the sound of things

try tried some patching last night and it majorly broke stuff (we don't support their tills)

so there's a few thousand machines there.

Journeyman Geek

Yup
P

Oh we have a few sp3 too

djsmiley2k

9:53 AM

And my HNQ now has nice question badge.

deployment of SP26

Is SP2.6 a thing maybe?

it may be a made up number too lol

Nick

@djsmiley2k Do you think I should join HNQ?

Oliver Salzburg

@djsmiley2k 26 is a real number

Burgi

@GypsySpellweaver yes

you americans are far too happy

Gypsy Spellweaver

@Burgi But not the host, right? :D

Burgi

Gypsy Spellweaver

9:59 AM

satibel

Burgi
