My cat loves when I sing for her; unfortunately I am biologically predisposed to being able to sing only one phrase, so she might get bored.. after all, I'm a fwog who keeps a pet cat
All I can sing for her is "Wawawawawawao."

We've been promised a new office on a new building for years
So far, it's a theoretical building.
 
allquicatic

we downgraded by moving to a worse building with more maintenance problems, less work area per person, fewer amenities, but about 2 miles closer to home... that last part is the only good part

Currently we sit at a corner under three or four layers of "borrowed space".

@ThatBrazilianHeadlessHorse is it inside a Schroedinger box with a bowl of building food tied to a machine that causes a nuclear explosion that randomly makes the building destroyed or not destroyed?
I wonder what buildings eat

The building has a non-IT purpose. A floor was borrowed to IT. But wait... my previous team don't sit there. Neither my current team. No, that would be too simple. We sit on an office on another floor. This office was borrowed to a journalism team. Some rows of this office have been borrowed to my previous team. A corner of this has been borrowed to my current team.

Q: Force windows to be maximized but not fullscreen?

allquicaticOn my Early 2015 13" MBP, on both El Capitan and macOS Sierra, I notice that some windows -- particularly Google Chrome, of which I have the latest stable version -- often seem to resize themselves slightly upwards without my consent, not taking up quite the full length of available area between ...

just got this worrying advice from my bank:
> Shankar: at 22:51:23
Thank you. Please do not use Google chrome, if you are using it.
Burgi: at 22:49:32
why is that?
Shankar: at 22:52:50
We have come across many customers reporting issues with Google chrome while registering their debit card details in the page. It is advisable to use Internet explorer. It had worked for them so I assume it should work for you too.
meh
you all know my name anyway
> Thank you. Appreciate your understanding. Chat services close at 11PM UK timing otherwise I would have checked tonight itself. Please chat back to us. Alternatively I would suggest you to try in Internet explorer.

also steam is being a bitch and not accepting my new debit card >>>:(

Google Search seems to be giving me trouble. A little earlier, the main search wasn't loading at all. I'm having problems with video search right now.
It is not my Internet connection.
 
Burgi

have you tried using internet explorer, my bank thinks it is the bees knees?
where does the galaxy J5 sit in the samsung world?
 
bwDraco

If I'm not mistaken, it's the most basic Galaxy model. Don't expect a great experience.
 
Burgi

thought so
the girl i've dated a few times recently just bought one
welp
she bought it without my advice
the moto g is £80 cheaper and you can pick which colours you want....
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
Sure, there's worse than this, but it's not exactly a fast device. It's at the low end of the spectrum as smartphones go. Snapdragon 410, 720p AMOLED.
I've seen much worse than this.

The J series is the entry-level lineup. The J1 is the most basic, and it runs up to J7.
The A series is the next step up.
Then you have the flagship S series.
You also have the cheap Galaxy On5 and On7.

so I had to use a iso + USB key to bootstrap it, since that option lets me use external storage as needed for more space

Well, well. Your HP Stream 11 is still your field computer. I guess that needs to be updated as well.

yup
and since I'm starting work again, I will be in need of it

It took me more like 25-30 minutes to do this on my laptop, but this is a far faster machine.

> Hi
We've updated your PC
Getting things ready, please don't turn off your PC
Probably CPU-bound. The Celeron processor is not exactly helping. I doubt the storage is to blame.
Is the disk access light constantly lit, or flashing?
Wait. The Stream 11 doesn't have a disk access light.
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
nope
and I think part of the problem was me using a cheapish sd card for temporary storage
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
I always foolishly assume every system has this "cylinder" light to indicate disk access.
BRB, rebooting the laptop to get a sense of how fast this machine boots up nowadays. It was 15 seconds when I first installed the SSD 850 PRO and completed the migration.

when I get around to upgrading my home server's windows install I can compare

On my main machine with a fairly powerful CPU, it seemed to be working on the disk the whole time
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
11:25 PM
Personally... on a spare machine, it makes a ton of sense for me not to bother and do these things overnight ;p
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
It was still mostly CPU-bound. The disk was flashing quite rapidly, but it wasn't quite constantly lit.
Off to reboot.
21 seconds. Windows 10 needs a bit more time to initialize; seems to be compute I/O-bound.
It's measured from power-on to lock screen.
 
ArtOfCode
ArtOfCode
Heh, I get 7 seconds
Ubuntu in 5
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
Windows 10 is a bit larger than Windows 8.1, but the boot process seems to be less compute-heavy than it used to be.
The UEFI isn't the fastest on this machine. It takes quite a few seconds for the system to POST before I see the boot splash.
Enabling Secure Boot, which I did a while back, likely hurt performance a bit as well. (Oddly enough, it was disabled out of the box due to a configuration error.)
 
ArtOfCode
ArtOfCode
Oh, yeah. Secure boot doesn't help - all my boot stuff is managed by grub, which does help
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
I'm rather surprised that the UEFI POST is that slow.
It's not like "hit Power and get the boot splash right away".
Bear in mind that I do this from a full shutdown (hold Shift when clicking Shut down in the Start menu). Otherwise, fast boot will throw off the results.
 
ArtOfCode

11:41 PM
I always do a full shutdown, otherwise Ubuntu doesn't mount the Windows partition when I use it

Ok, this time it'll work!
@allquicatic Expectation:
Reality:
Half the building stayed up. It is still up to this day.

Tried again. 18 seconds this time.

I assumed the demolition crew just went "oh, f#$# it, leave it like that".
The building is still in use. As an hospital.
 
Journeyman Geek

Lol
I was about to say it would have been funnier if part of the building stood.
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
11:59 PM
Problem is, as much as 9 seconds are spent in POST. It takes five seconds just to turn the display on, and another four to display the boot splash.
