I need to figure out a phase for when people oppose something, based on problems with something else which they don't want to fix now, or then.

Skyler

Howdy fellow super users, been awhile

var firstName

@Rahul2001

djsmiley2k

18:22

i'm a banana D:

Skyler

I can give you a distraction Rahul

Rahul2001

(distraction == hardcore ~~porn~~ programming)

djsmiley2k

I started working on my backup script

Rahul2001

@Skyler Huh, go right ahead

var firstName

PowerApps is annoying

djsmiley2k

18:22

and rclone is BROKEN

I wonder if my 8hour transfer from home as finished yet :/

var firstName

my boss is asking for an app to be made

Skyler

@Rahul2001 I'm trying to decide if I should say yes to buying a friends old gaming laptop

var firstName

I made it

Rahul2001

@Skyler 1) Do they game? 2) Specs? 3) Worth it?

djsmiley2k

Ooo ooo I just realised what to do with my raspi

Skyler

18:23

@Rahul2001 well they started working at intel recently so they just did a lot of major upgrading

emil

What is the best tool we can use to type mathematical expressions like integrals etc

var firstName

Run a money laundering business, dj

emil

djsmiley2k

o_O

var firstName

that would be LaTeX

djsmiley2k

I was thinking a LED dashboard that shows me how my backups are doing

emil

18:24

thanks :)

djsmiley2k

as one of the transfers takes ~8 hours, it'd be good at a glance to know!

Skyler

@Rahul2001 Here is the laptop newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230352

Rahul2001

@emil Search for Math Input Panel in Windows start ;P

var firstName

sshhh

emil

cool

Rahul2001

18:24

NONONONONO

Skyler

They have added ram to make it 16 gigs, and it has a 2tb hdd now

var firstName

what rahul

Skyler

toss in a backpack for the laptop as well, all for $350

Rahul2001

> 2nd Gen
> NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M
> Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit

no

I mean, cheap, but crappy

djsmiley2k

that reminds me I ideally need to nuke wifes windows laptop and reinstall

so much old crap on there (the sims?!)

var firstName

18:26

2nd gen i5?

Rahul2001

They won't be able to play any semi-modern titles on it

@Skyler

var firstName

pfft

2nd gen i7

Skyler

What could I get for ~$300 nowadays? I have a good rig at home for when i actually want to game with high specs, but I need a beefy laptop for when I do trips

beefy enough*

var firstName

Skyler

I would recommend that laptop

tbh

Rahul2001

I wouldn't

var firstName

18:27

Why not rahul

Rahul2001

but that's just my opinion

var firstName

560m isn't that weak

Skyler

ooh, yes, id like to hear both sides

var firstName

it wouldn't be able to run Battlefield Hard Line or anything, but it's decent

Rahul2001

Modern CPUs will probably be able to beat that without external graphics (pretty sure about this)

var firstName

18:28

skyler

Rahul2001

It isn't even 1080p

var firstName

Rahul

I have never even had a 1080p screen

djsmiley2k

@varfirstName why don't you ping people properly, ffs

var firstName

let alone on a laptop

djsmiley2k

Not sure why it annoys me, but it does XD

var firstName

18:28

because they're already here, why should I have to

djsmiley2k

because no orange

Rahul2001

@varfirstName WTF?

var firstName

if I want to mention somebody who may be AFK, like @Avery, I can do that.

djsmiley2k

Ok seriously every time i call this store, they're like 'oH I'll get <staffMember> for you, please hold'

then 10 minutes later I'm like..... I need a wee, come on!!!...

Rahul2001

@djsmiley2k it annoys me too

var firstName

18:29

Pee on the phone, dj

Skyler

so rahul, any ideas on a good alternative at that price point?

var firstName

i mean..

djsmiley2k

@varfirstName that won't help D:

/me yawns

got ye ol' energy drink out

var firstName

it's 7:30

how are you tired

djsmiley2k

indeed, PM

because 2 kids.

Rahul2001

18:30

@Skyler I'm not a very good guy to ask for Gaming PC buying advice. I have one myself, but I didn't really buy it for gaming.

Ask @bwDraco

djsmiley2k

because working late shift (10:30pm)

because sleep apnea

because was up at 7:30am with daughter, and woken at 5am by daughter.

Skyler

hmm, i feel like I've seen @bwDraco on other SE chats, i wonder which ones though

Rahul2001

@Skyler Doesn't even have a bluray

djsmiley2k

yup, I don't think anyone thinks about this stuff as much as @bwDraco - he prob knows the one to go for right now.

@Skyler you can easily check, pretty sure he's in bridge tho (gaming.se)

bwDraco

Just a minute, in a game right now.

Rahul2001

18:31

;)

var firstName

@Skyler prob ServerFault or something

djsmiley2k

=D

'Shoot Him!!!!'

Skyler

@Rahul2001 I honestly hate bluray discs so much btw, how the hell do you get those bastards playing on your computer without buying some expensive crap

djsmiley2k

"Can't!!!! Gotta spec up laptop for random on the webs!!!"

Skyler

stupid drm

djsmiley2k

18:33

lol I remember how we couldn't play dvd's

Rahul2001

@Skyler uhm

djsmiley2k

that didn't last.

k seriously, still on hold, still need a wee

Skyler

i tried 3-4 different services, stupid watermarks, or standard def

Rahul2001

I think I'll go do some programming

djsmiley2k

I'm tempted to just leave the phone and come back in 5 min

Rahul2001

18:33

be back in a bit

Skyler

or just bricked

djsmiley2k

github.com/djsmiley2k/smileys-random-tools/blob/master/…

'services' ?

@Rahul2001 design something to stop people keeping me on hold.

a buton during the IVR which I can hit, to leave a messaage....

infact that's an awesome service

Rahul2001

@djsmiley2k "IF YOU PUT ME ON HOLD I WILL SHOVE A KNIFE UP YOUR..." usually does the trick ;P

allquixotic

@Rahul2001 Brilliant! Then they will hang up instead of putting you on hold

Rahul2001

@allquixotic Well, that's one way to solve the problem

djsmiley2k

18:38

i hung up

Avery

I just tried that

they said that their lawyers will call me back.

Skyler

@Avery i guess you could call that Avery bad call then

Avery

heh

Skyler

its very simple though, if they're lawyer gave a callback say its a work line and you have no idea who made the call

(if you actually did have that happen to you)

djsmiley2k

lol

djsmiley2k

19:00

startup.vbs runs startup.bat runs store.vbs calls store.bat runs sync.bat, sync.bat runs each file in ./scripts/ in turn

what.

what what what what what.

OPk so guys, how can i see what a .vbs file is doing?

allquixotic

@djsmiley2k obtain the source code to WScript.exe and step through it?

djsmiley2k

well, I can see the code of the vbs files...

ok wtf

the wrong directory was in one of the files o_O

that doesn't make any sense at all...

as it's freshly imaged xD

However the image with 'office cannot verify the licence for htis product' issue is still happenin

var firstName

19:56

ohai dave

satibel

@djsmiley2k talking about being put on hold, do you know project mayhem?

Scammers, I have come to bargain! - Call Flooder

►

var firstName

sounds like it would be taxing on your CPU

satibel

Basically, calling scammers 30 times per second, to tie up all their lines.

Quite a good DOS.

djsmiley2k

@satibel rofl

satibel

@djsmiley2k there's one "we're putting all your lines on hold" ... "How many line does he have?"

djsmiley2k

20:10

hmmm

at my old jorb I could of had 280+ lines

wait no that's a lie

that's just the IVR lines.

I know we did a competition so big, it tied up every single phone line out of the islands of trinadad and tabago.

hmmm

yey

in cmd how do i see a global variables value?

DavidPostill

@djsmiley2k echo %variable%

Rahul2001

@djsmiley2k set <nameofvariable>

@DavidPostill This works too ^

djsmiley2k

hmmm ok

weird

Rahul2001

20:26

WHEW! Finished migrating old posts to new blog.

djsmiley2k

e

hmmm ewww

bad line return

dear god, this thing is so screwed

it's got the wrong LR's in it, but I'm not even sure that's the issue

/me copies the files from a different but identical system

Rahul2001

GUYS

check discuss.area51.stackexchange.com/users/19476/kronos

cert error?

djsmiley2k

yup

but I guess Nick forgot that discuss.*.se exists

and only did chat.stac

Rahul2001

20:44

Upvote plz meta.stackexchange.com/questions/292058/…

djsmiley2k

hmmm

it kinda is the same issue

area51 is a mess.

Avery

the blog post mentioned that @Rahul2001

Rahul2001

@djsmiley2k says [status-completed]

Avery

area51 isn't on https yet

Rahul2001

@Avery Oh, it did?

@Avery why does nick edit my answer to say status-completed then though?

Avery

20:48

This isn't done yet - it's in the list above as not done yet... — Nick Craver ♦ Mar 20 at 12:20

Rahul2001

> status-completed: moved to area51.meta.stackexchange.com

Avery

edit on 19th, comment on 20th.

djsmiley2k

. area51.meta.stackexchange.com/users/19476/kronos

not secure

but no warning on that link now

So basically, they just need to turn off the https on discuss.*.se

Not Dog

21:08

@Bob Never use dedup? :-o

But what about all my dupilicately downloaded pr0n

Skyler

@bwDraco free now?

bwDraco

22:06

@Skyler Hmm?

Sorry, was very busy doing housework.

djsmiley2k

22:19

and i r home \o./

bwDraco

@Skyler?

Burgi

22:31

i just worked out my pay rise to be 4.6%

That REDACTED Guy

Well, better than nothing.

djsmiley2k

@Burgi is that good? I have no clue

Skyler

@bwDraco stepped out of the house right before you responded

bwDraco

So, what do you need?

Skyler

Earlier I posed a question to a few folks here who said I should get your feedback

Basically I have a friend with an older but somewhat upgraded gaming laptop

(getting link for model now)

newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230352

2TB hdd and 16 gigs ram upgrade

and a corresponding backpack

$350

Burgi

22:38

@djsmiley2k me neither i think it is average for an annual rise in the uk private sector

shrugs

Skyler

could I get better at that price

bwDraco

Hmm...

Skyler

I have a gaming desktop thats up to date at home, I just need something beefy enough for when i go on trips.

For work stuff (and a bit of gaming too probably)

And Im not trying to break the bank, so i dont really want to spend any more than that for another year or so probably

bwDraco

Storage: Does the user need capacity or speed?

Skyler

@bwDraco I'd say balanced, if I had an SSD I'd probably toss in a 1tb laptop drive i have sitting at home

(on top of it if i could)

And I think have a 128gb ssd sitting around somewhere here for the flipside, but it may be broken

bwDraco

22:47

What does the user intend to store on the drive?

Skyler

Some games, lots of programs (CAD, Adobe Suite, Android Studio/Apple), and if there is plenty of space to spare a large music library

bwDraco

An SSD may make more sense in this case.

Is 512 GB or so enough?

Skyler

Yea

bwDraco

@Skyler newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147373

SSD 850 EVO, 500 GB.

Also, is this the primary volume or a secondary disk?

Skyler

Wait, I realized I wasn't very clear.

That was my bad

He offered to sell that laptop with said upgrades and accessories for $350

bwDraco

22:53

Ah, okay.

I thought he was upgrading existing hardware.

Skyler

And I meant if there was anything competitive in the used market at that price point.

Yea, I read it again and realized I was a bit vague, my bad

bwDraco

I'm kinda thinking it might be worth closer to $500.

These gaming laptops tend to hold up pretty well over time.

djsmiley2k

urgh

can actually smell the hacks in cod now

bwDraco

Sandy Bridge, 4C/8T @ 2.2-3.1 GHz. Kinda slow, but there are workloads that will still perform quite well on this processor.

djsmiley2k

like guys pointing at a doort way, pull the trigger the moment ur pixel on screen

Skyler

22:55

Yea, I'm very out of loop when it comes to how laptop performance is these days so thats why I figured its worth asking

So basically that's a pretty damn good deal

bwDraco

Yup.
