Q: Do we need a canonical question for creating bootable Windows 10 installation media?

3:16 AM

To this date, community-faq has only one canonical post for creating bootable installation media for Windows 7 which dates back to 2009. The answers are mostly "use this tool and it works" that are not compatible with Windows 10. I have located the most relevant question for creating bootable US...

So... I'm going to write this.

go go go

engadget.com/2019/01/22/ten-one-design-wifi-porter

so... basically its a pretty block of etched wood with a 50 cent nfc chip in it...

4:08 AM

@JourneymanGeek lol, pretty much

Cause my old router literally had an NFC sticker for this

@JourneymanGeek Ok so wondering

Should I instead make it a Canonical for "How to install Windows 10?"

And include different methods within?

(There's like two anyway - Bootable, or "setup.exe" within existing Windows installation

I think he means the former

Rufus+ an iso works if you have an iso...

hmmmmm

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

@JourneymanGeek I do it with a QR code

Print a QR code on a label, stick it to the AP...

Bit too lazy & cheap to get NFC stickers :P

5:24 AM

@Bob which this does too

Bob

@JourneymanGeek For $$

I mean

they literally stuck an NFC sticker and laser etched on a qr code on a block of wood for $$$ ;p

Smart business-minded decision

I once had the hands fall of a watch

no other obvious damage, just the minute hand fell off one day, got stuck and then the hour hand hit it, also ripped off.

What languages do you want to work with next year? Are you more productive in an office or working from home? When did you write your first line of code? We want to hear from you in our annual developer survey! The survey, now in its ninth year, launches today and anyone who codes is encouraged to participate.

Take the 2019 survey!

This year’s survey questions are designed to gain insight into developer career paths, programming languages and tools, working preferences, and overall opinions and feedback. There are some fun questions, too (like previous years’ tabs vs. spaces and gif vs. “jiff”)! …

Doesn't/didn't Intel do the same with HT?

claiming it's the ame as an extra core?

Maybe they didn't, /me shrugs

4:43 PM

@djsmiley2k IIRC HT was reported as an extra core

@djsmiley2k Hah! Mine was showing -6 this morning

Think it still had the red ice light

I'm not sure what red ice is, but it sure sounds scary

Q: Dwarf Fortress starting during apt-get upgrade

319

When I run apt-get upgrade on my Ubuntu 17.04 machine, sometimes it starts Dwarf Fortress by itself. It has happened already at least two times, so it was probably not just some sort of one time thing. Also, the execution ofapt-get upgrade seemed to be paused until I manually quit the Dwarf Fort...

apt upgrade package-management games

Haaaaaahahahaha

@bertieb yeah, no idea how it got to -8C, but I was like oh weird, no warning

then, as soon as it hits -4C, warning turns on

Clearly doesn't understand negative numbers. Made me lol

@bertieb my car is still encased in Ice right now

Negative numbers are tricky tbfair

How can you take three apples away from two apples? It can't be done! Fake news! And magnets, how do they work?

5:37 PM

5:56 PM

@bertieb they just did >4 = cold

ignoring minus

so -5C is the same as 5C. I.e. not cold lol

Also, my car about half hour ago as i went to the shop, was showing -5C

@djsmiley2k Bizarre! Also, that's a game I never managed to break into without finding the controls too frustrating.

@djsmiley2k Something something something, "surely the UK never gets colder than -4°C?"

@bertieb I played a good amount of Gnomoria, but it starts to consume RAM like crazy after a while.

The fact that things like the npm left-pad incident are so rare is oddly reassuring.

If you're wondering why the image no longer loads, I emailed the owner on 01 September 2015:

Hello,

I noticed that All The Rage Faces has been suspended for a little while now.  Do you intend to bring it back someday?

The owner replied:

Hey Nick -

Sorry, ATRF is shut down. It got to the point where it wasn't making enough money to continue. Sorry!
