ĪïĪ
If I make ^ that my username, no one will be able to tag me
Imagine @ÌïīîīïÍ
@ÌïÍ <=== I typed that on my keyboard
@Rahul2001 people could just copy/paste your name, we've done that in the past when people went for weird characters...
(capital I + `) + (lowercase i + ") + (capital I + ')
damn, I can't type some individual diacritics, on this Linux pt-br kbd at least
@ThatBrazilianGuy That's not the same character

17:08
@ThatBrazilianGuy He first said ĪïĪ
I can't type that (-.-)
Lol
@Mokubai that's a pain in mobile, you can't copy the username from the app...😈
@Rahul2001 I don't use the app...
@DavidPostill the advantage of the android keyboard ûūüùúóôöòœōøõ
@Mokubai why not?
@Rahul2001 I prefer the full site interface, and the app doesn't work for mod stuff.
17:12
Oh...
I also have a proper sized phone where the site works fine
Nice...
I have the app installed so I get site notifications on my watch, but I don't actually use the app itself
When I'm happy:😈 when I'm angry:👿 when I'm mad:👹
17:15
:O
missing emoji on os x
@Bob wow sorry for late reply
oh, that's an image
just got home and noticed this, but thanks!!
@Rahul2001 I can do the middle character ï (alt 139) but I can't figure out the Ī. It should be alt 0298 but that gives me *
ï = ¨ + i

@Mokubai actually tab complete will always show the untypables at the top
@Bob TIL...
@ThatBrazilianGuy Not on a US keyboard
@DavidPostill you remember alt codes? O.o
@allquixotic thats why i still have my yahoo address
@Rahul2001 alt + 0153 is ™
i use it all the time, ironically
@Rahul2001 I looked it up as I knew it was the only way I could type it :)
17:28
@Rahul2001 Works here on Windows.

Just did a bit of reviewing. The desktop review interface isn't really usable on a 5.2-inch phone :(
@bwDraco Works beautifully on my 5.7", thing is that Android Chrome with its idiotic "link preview" feature breaks the internet.
@Mokubai Nexus 6P?
So you have to use $ANY_NON-WEBKIT_BROWSER$
@Mokubai Firefox, but not great, either.
Galaxy S6 Edge+
17:30
Ah.
Which is a glorious looking phone TBH
Firefox is much slower than Chrome, a difference that is especially visible on mobile devices.
One that also tangibly hurts battery life due to significantly higher CPU usage.
Aye, and there is the downside. Chrome sucks balls, but all the competition is slower.
Then again, I prefer the more feature-rich Firefox experience (Firefox Sync is really cool :) )

...wow, I'm defending Apple. Hell must have frozen over.
lol

18:02
Eh, Firefox hasn't been slow on the S7, and I have some 500 tabs
Do tabs on mobile behave the same as tabs on desktop?
I'm not entirely sure how tabs behave on desktop, TBH.
@ThatBrazilianGuy not sure how tabs behave on desktop or mobile?
@Rahul2001 Yes, if they're always active or if they get deactivated after a while or if there's some memory management
18:34
Anybody using Firefox 47 yet? Page zoom seems to be broken...
oh nice! living example that bounties arent affected by rep daily caps
never knew that
Someone here is good with the packet tracer program?
500 tabs?! D:
18:51
@Jarwin I do know some basic stuff about it
good night folks
Good evening, folks :)
Aaaand good night, Sathya, I guess. ^^
good night
@ŠtěpánBartoš @jokerdino cheers
no boss, I am going to bed too.
18:54
am not! I have to listen my class instead than being here!
@charles.milette sounds like an ideal time to take a nap yourself.
like my friend besides me?
joking of course, pay attention to your classes, my man.
actually, we just finished an exam, so I'm free to do what i want until the next class begins
Studying for an upcoming exam, I shouldn't be here too.
19:00
Some of my friends have an ASUS laptop at school. I think I'm gonna put up a prank 😈 teletext.zaibatsutel.net/post/145370716258/…
Whoa. Being an owner of ASUS ntb too I've had no idea about that. Yet apparently I've uninstalled LiveUpdate in the past. self-five
19:21
why does microsoft, who claim to not like all the crap that gets bundled on hardware, just make it an option that you can 'reset to MS' windows, when you recieve it
you have a key, so why not just let the user nuke it and reinstall a normal clean windows image :/
That would probably upset their OEM partners
But if it's Windows 10, you can just download a clean, official ISO from the Internet
@Jarwin I'm exceptionally good at reading anything from a packet sniffer
20:22
Hmm. I've just received a whole load of "Marshall" badges. Weird.
20:34
Huh, me too
It's a bug.
Bizarrely enough, they show up in your badges section, but not mine (though I do have them in the rep inbox)
We're investigating. — Adam ♦ 20 mins ago

Q: Excavator and Marshall badges are being awarded over and over

nicaelThe excavator has been awarded to... many users just some time ago. What a... bug? Certainly it is, too many unavailable posts :D Seems to affect Marshal and Excavator. Also looks like it's everywhere. SO's got a similar problem a couple of minutes before. Moreover, I can has THREE X mar...

They fixed it, the bogus badges will vanish tonight (at the UTC day?)
lol
Spot the fix time :)
20:49
Hmm, the 10K "edit tags" ability does not appear to be working
Actually, several things relating to tags are broken
Asked to take pic with #Samsung tablet, can't fire flash with low battery! Display a warning, don't take control away from the user! #BadUX
@BenN You can't edit tags?
Ah, it's under a very bizarre set of circumstances that I am currently splorting onto MSE

Q: Missing tag functionality for questions that have been edited

Ben NCurrently, on questions that have been edited (random example) or that have edited answers (random example): The 10K "edit tags" link does not appear when I put my mouse to the right of the tags Mousing over the tags to see their wiki excerpt does nothing other than display the "show questions ...

What a stupid design decision.
Already got two likes.
@BenN Works OK on Firefox
21:07
@GuitarShoeDave I think he is talking about Cisco Packet Tracer. A network simulation program for students. The name is a bit confusing tho :/
@bwDraco that happens on all android
usually at sub 5%
i guess they think that you'd rather have the juice for communications than fancy extras
the charge in the batt might also be lass than the amount needed for charging the capacitor
thunderstorm finally reached us
21:24
Can I request third party software solutions in a bounty requirement?
@MichaelFrank that's like saying "Can I order pizza at a Chinese restaurant?" when there's an Italian restaurant right next door
@MichaelFrank No. That would be off-topic, in my opinion.
TL;DR: you really shouldn't, but you might be able to get away with it
but ask on SR if you must
That's the question, with obviously wrong answers.
21:27
If you wouldn't put it in a non-bountied question, don't add it with a bounty
But I think it needs a definite answer. Either Yes, No, or Yes with X would do.
@MichaelFrank WindowsBlinds :)
Also, I have a way to change the fonts, if that helps
@DavidPostill Eehhh.... corporate environment. :/
I would say something like "how do I change the properties previously controlled by <dialog>?"
21:29
@BenN Well, the question I linked asked exactly that.
It seems to me like you're asking to bring back that exact dialog, perhaps an edit would help?

A: How To Change The Fonts In Windows 8

Ben NYou can do that without any third-party software, and without local admin access. Open up the Registry Editor and navigate here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics The fonts used are stored in these binary values: CaptionFont: window captions IconFont: most text in Windows...

(works in Windows 10 as well)
How about the background color?
@MichaelFrank I'm no Windows 10 expert, but they redesigned the whole GUI so that dialog is no longer relevant.
I'm not sure about the background color yet
TBH I don't know if you can set that color anymore
Ooooh, yes. It looks like it's in there.
21:32
heh! you know that ad i linked yesterday? it got nominated for an award
HKEY_USERS\usersid\Control Panel\Desktop\Colors
There you go
I also just remembered the SetSysColors API

@BenN I think I have enough to work with here. Thanks!

Q: How to change default window background color in Windows 10?

SweatCoderIn Windows 7 and Windows XP it was very easy to change the default background color of all windows to whatever you want. Staring at white window backgrounds all day is hard on the eyes. Once changed, ALL windows of all apps would conform to the custom color as long as the apps allowed the windows...

@MichaelFrank ^^^
21:49
why is it hotter now its raining than it was during the day?
also THUNDERSTORM!!!! :D
@Burgi I'm still waiting - I love thunderstorms :)
its probably too cold for them on the coast
Love thunderstorms too, yet haven't seen a nice one since last summer.
it was only a small one....
last flash was 3 seconds away
@Burgi The radar map shows the storm is right over you and not moving ...
21:55
its been raining since 20:00 BST but only just had lightning
about 5 mins between flashes
just looking
looks like the fun bits are further east and south than me
London is getting it bad :)
pfffft
no-one lives there
crazy mole people
storm is about 2km away and it isn't very electrifying

dat colour balance
Finally got myself a ColorMunki Display colorimeter. This should no longer be an issue :)
22:50
@bwDraco Don't you get neck-ache from having the bigger (and presumably main screen) to the left?
@DavidPostill his main screen is on the right
the icons are all on the right one
23:10
@bwDraco lemme know how it is. My brother is looking at buying one, and I certainly will borrow it.
23:25
in some far-off utopian future when shipping something in 4 hours flat trans-continental anywhere around the world by drone costs $1, we could all share the same colorimeter :D
@allquixotic lol
a post-scarcity utopia
@allquixotic I suspect there would be a lot of hardware flying around if that were the case.
just one big 3D printer churning out bits
@Burgi in which case oldschool computers would be heirlooms ;p
23:38
probably
and a 3d printed computer would likely be a disposable slab
boooooring

Q: Closed source binary blobs in chipsets - privacy threat?

user113581I wanted to buy a Librem Purism 13 because I care about my privacy and generally wanted a laptop to test Linux on. However, I was advised against it because it uses Intel i5 processors which contain binary blobs. From what I understand binary blobs are parts of code which cannot be read, and yo...

this sort of mindset scares me.
@allquixotic I imagine my optical implants will auto-correct an color variances for me.
@DavidPostill This worked! :)
23:55
@MichaelFrank Good. I hope you voted up the question and the answer which worked :)
I have just been restarted! This happens daily automatically, or when my owner restarts me. Ready for commands.
the chatbot timer is out by 6 minutes
@Burgi I make it 4 minutes, but hey whatever ...
I think it's the server time of @allquixotic that is wrong.
yeah... fair enough on the 4 minutes (i was looking at my local clock)
can't get the staff
