@djsmiley2k What's "lead generations"?

So, my phone was working wednesday. Then it stopped working when I arrived home. Was broken all thursday. Now it's working again.

I suspect my phone is powered by the sea tides, phases of the moon and star alignments.

@Burgi As part of this site I'm building for a client, there's the "bibliography" page.

Each book cover is in a different file format, image dimensions, resolution, and quality.

So, I'm having to use Google Images to obtain decent cover images for the books...

Tried to create a guest account on my laptop. The system malfunctions badly, to the point where the USB subsystem goes belly-up (the system fails to recognize any devices plugged into the system, Device Manager reports no drivers installed)

Looks like Windows 10 is just not designed for guest accounts.

That Brazilian Guy

@djsmiley2k So "marketing" is sales, but "Lead Generation" is also sales?

Well, I guess north-americans really like selling and businessing stuff.

djsmiley2k

18:53

Marketing is.... the brand

getting the message out there

Leads are protential sales

in terms of cars

the salesmen in the dealerships are leads generation

@bwDraco On my Windows 8.1 partition, there's an admin account I use just for installing stuff. I use a non-admin account and when the UAC popup shows up I insert the admin account password.

djsmiley2k

marketing is ran from god knows where, by apple purchasing types

That Brazilian Guy

In theory, it should work. In practice, lots of installers just give up.

One of the installers that won't work is for this small company called nvidia.

For this unimportant product called video card drivers.

djsmiley2k

is it possible for an application to see when another requests UAC access?

Ben N

You can watch for consent.exe starting

@bwDraco You can't enable the Guest account in Windows 10. Stop trying!

bwDraco

I've removed the account.

That Brazilian Guy

@DavidPostill For my neighbor I've merely created a normal account called "Guest" in Portuguese.

I don't remember what I did password-wise

Burgi

@allquixotic i was searching for a file with % in it and everything came up

@allquixotic is "The Engineer" you?

DavidPostill

@Burgi How To Make Advanced Searches In Windows Using Wildcards And Filters

Burgi

@DavidPostill how do you do it? ;)

Ben N

19:04

Maybe it just ignores symbols?

dir *%* /s or gci '*%*' -r (PS) would find files with a percent sign in the name

allquixotic

@Burgi ?

Burgi

i have a steam user in my friends list called "The Engineer"

i don't know who it is

Rahul2001

lol

Burgi

they have an odd choice in games

NSFW: store.steampowered.com/app/426000

> The sexual themes in this game are mostly for fun/humor and don't make for particularly great fapping material.

o.O

jokerdino

yeah, it might be The Engineer.

allquixotic

19:20

there are like 15000 The Engineers on Steam

I did a search

djsmiley2k

Burgi

allquixotic

@Burgi can you delete that please :P

DavidPostill

19:55

@Burgi Do what? ;p

Alan Watch

@Burgi what he does?

Ben N

I think he's referring to your Google skills

Alan Watch

do you know Dred pirate Robot used to be here in SE Sites?

Burgi

@allquixotic sadly not

i was in a game and didn't hear the ping

@BenN i was

could a mod/RO nuke that profile link for @allquixotic

That Brazilian Guy

I'm baffled. I just bought two micro USB cables for USD 0.52 each.

If you consider that's including taxes, shipping and "brazil cost"...

I wonder if the cables are made of chineseum and / or will blow up my phone

I also bought one of those for USD 2.95 (again, after taxes, s&h, etc):

And it's working. Well, the OS can see it and it has a mac address. Let's plug a cable and see what happens.

Someone's listening to The Smiths nearby.

Morrissey - "Suedehead" (Official Music Video)

Oh, and I also bought an USB OTG cable for USD 0.60, works fine.

@Burgi Well, he's got of @bob and @JourneymanGeek as steam friends

He's from the US and he's not @allquixotic

@allquixotic

Burgi

allquixotic

@Burgi he wrote his own steam client in powershell

Ben N

DavidPostill

@BenN Thanks. As a mod can you zap messages from any room?

Ben N

20:45

Yes, on this chat server at least

Not on chat.meta or chat.SO

DavidPostill

OK. Good to know. Thx ;p

Burgi

@allquixotic do you know who the person is?

Where can I ask about keyboards on the market?

I want one with touchpad but simple usb cable, not wireless. All shit I see on the Amazon is wireless.

It's so weird to witness such a small device to function as a full-fledged computer

65.0mm x 31.0mm x 5.0mm (2.6" x 1.2" x 0.2")

@ThatBrazilianGuy RPi Zero?

That Brazilian Guy

Yeah

I'm installing raspbian on it.

Well, couldn't get the NOOBS isntaller to recognize my USB ethernet -- despite it working on a CLI raspbian on the zero; so I'm using my non-zero pi to download and install the latest Raspbian on a sd card and then will test it on both pis

I've owned a non-zero for a bit more than a year, IIRC, and I've never tested a GUI distro on it.

So far I've just ran OpenELEC / XBMC, RetroPie and PiHole.

bwDraco

Don't you need a USB-OTG cable to hook things up to the Micro USB port?

Also, is the HDMI port a Micro port (type D)?

...apparently not, it is a Mini port (type B).
