@Luke Do you happen to have a download link?
@Luke Check if they're native COM or .NET assemblies. What made you think they're C++/COM?
@Burgi orange pi zero+moonlight should be a lot cheaper.
* orange pi one, forgot the zero doesn't have hdmi
Oh wow... only $10???
@MichaelFrank yep, those are pretty good.
@Bob when I try to register with RegAsm.exe it tells me they are not .NET assemblies.
wut...
> 2.It is best to buy a good quality DC 5V3A charger . Because Orange Pi don't support Micro USB Power supply.
08:08
@satibel thats a good idea
First package available: Orange Pi + USB Power cable...
my steamlink only cost me £11, i think the upper limit should be about £15. £40 is too much
I have a zero in my van which outputs to the screen I added for the back camera when I'm not going backwards, for now it's just for toying around, but I may use it as a tachometer and driving logger with a forward facing camera and a few sensors.
might end up being an autonomous car XD.
Hmm. It seems that (ex) HNQ question is now very hot ...
@Mokubai ^^^ You're mentioned as well.
@DavidPostill wow, you're in the news!
08:21
@DavidPostill i knew it was suspicious!
start packing for pakistan...
@MichaelFrank it seems like the micro usb is otg only, or the translation is weird.

Hello
user226528
It seems Stack Exchange is going all-in on net neutrality.
@DavidPostill I didn't do it nobody saw me do it you can't prove anything.
What did I do?
@Mokubai Read the link :)
08:35
I wasn't really saying that I disagreed, just that it's impossible to know if they got a leaked copy of Windows/Office/LobsterCatcher3000 before the actual release date. Many companies leak previews to ranking officials so when one particular person got it is impossible to know. Hell, the font was commissioned much earlier and a version of it could have been in someone's hands much earlier if it leaked from the typographer.
@FleetCommand this is still a thing? (I mean, needing to fight for net neutrality)
It'll be a thing for as long it'll be profitable to control parts of the internet.
@DavidPostill You can say "official release date", "RTM release date", "commission date" and so on till you're blue in the face. That question asks when they could have gotten it and outside of "sometime in the last 20 years" it's impossible to know. Some git could have had something that looked incredibly like calibri sitting on their hard disk in 1995 waiting to become a "real" font for all we know.
Oh. It's been put back on hold.
08:54
yeah it was primarily opinion based i realised
@Mokubai you and @DavidPostill are going to be called as expert witnesses for the pakistani supreme court
[opi 2g](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orange-Pi-2G-IOT-ARM-Cortex-A5-32bit-Support-ubuntu-linux-and-android-mini-PC-Beyond/32802458477.html) + [LCD touchscreen](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3-5inch-Black-color-Touch-Screen-LCD-screen-TFT-Suitable-for-Orange-Pi-2G-IOT-Development/32816194245.html)+battery
for a total of less than 30€ for a phone/sms sending computer that 's pretty good.
Bob
Bob
@DavidPostill I wonder if they identified the font off a printout or a digital copy...
and damn formatting
@Bob digital copy ... font that doesn't exist on the computer ... replaced with calibri, that's what you're thinking of?
Bob
Bob
@satibel That's what I was thinking.
Alternatively, it's possible they didn't have the original copy and someone's gone and re-saved it since then.
that wouldn't even surprise me.
Bob
Bob
09:06
"This document was dated before Calibri existed" really says nothing about its authenticity...
There's plenty of legitimate ways for it to appear this way afterwards :\
A hard copy, amusingly, is easier to date.
depends....
unless there is some sort of decomposition test they can do on the ink
at least they didn't use the file "date created" tag.
Bob
Bob
@Luke Hm... make sure you don't have a corrupted download? Have you tried contacting the vendor?
This msi has been run on other environments without issue. I feel like it's probably a dependency issue, but without a tool like dependency walker I'm not sure how I can investigate that.
Bob
Bob
@Luke You could always chuck procmon at it
afk
user226528
@satibel That's a question for an American. It's not relevant for me.
have you guys seen that new functionality of so chat? ^
@Rahul2001
09:46
Joke's on you, I love this song.
@MichaelFrank I like it too.
So do I!
@MichaelFrank don't buy that
I wasn't planning on buying any of them anyway.
Orange pi, although impressive on paper, has too many issues irl
@Rahul2001 which ones?
haven't had any on mines.
09:54
@satibel I used one a couple of years ago
Had problems with USB
@satibel I can identify emoji -_-
@Rahul2001 they come out as tofu? :p
@Rahul2001 I'm stuck at Stage 1.
huh
wait
oh that level
        Pass <input name="needthis" type="text"><br>
        <input name="submit" value="GotIt" type="submit">
that one.
10:03
@satibel yeah well
@satibel uh
Use your head
Seriously
anyone know why bitbucket has gone black today?
@Burgi site loads for me
the sidebar is black
@Burgi huh, no idea
10:10
> Good developers are not cheap. Cheap developers are not good
4
Well, it's tough to find a good developer. Period :P
you get a reasonable one and mould them into a good dev
then they leave for more money
or go home to romania :'(
That is disgustingly accurate
I'm about to actually decomission the SBS I've been working on the past days
10:36
@OliverSalzburg a good devlopper, not that hard, a good developer willing to work on your terms, that is hard.
I'm pretty sure 99% of the good devs are either already employed or are shitty people.
stack.imgur broken again?
Can anybody else load i.sstatic.net/cYCbH.png?
both contain errors for me
@Burgi protest?
@DavidPostill this one WFM
@DavidPostill this one contains errors.
@satibel OK. It's stack.imgur playing up. That's happened before (with the same error).
heh. I was talking to someone I've known for ages, but wasn't really close to, who's been going through a VERY rough patch.
10:49
@satibel Trust me. It is hard :P
There are also a lot of people who think they are good developers
She really needed it by the sound of it, and considering we totally only know each other off the internet... internet friends are pretty darned useful sometimes ;p
This is not what a context menu should look like...
I think my computer is dying
Greenshot doesn't work right. Copy&paste seems broken

Q: How to set up windows 1.0 with ms-dos while keeping the ms-dos cd in the drive

user748983I am trying to setup Windows 1.0 with MS-DOS running on a Acer Travelmate C110. I have the windows disks, but because I need to keep the dos cd in, I can't install it. Could anyone help me with this issue?

0_0
11:10
Oh wow.. I thought that said Windows 10... ha
Bob
Bob
"cd"
Yea, CD.
I'd have thought floppy.
Hmm. Migrate to retrocomputing?
Bob
Bob
Does MS-DOS 1.0 even support CD-ROM?
11:18
@OliverSalzburg Seems like you have a 0 width invisible font, or no locale,or another weird issue, anyways, try Rebootβ„’.
Windows 1.0 requires two floppy disk drives
@DavidPostill TWO? that's a whooping 3MB at least!
@OliverSalzburg On my work computer Ctrl-X doesn't work in Powershell ISE or VS Code. :S
Also, Docker is confusing!
@Burgi $15
@satibel Already rebooted. Fixed
@MichaelFrank Why?
11:26
@OliverSalzburg Because I don't know what I'm doing lol
We use Docker quite a bit. In case you have any question, I might be able to help :)
Cool! I'll keep that in mind. My end goal is to dockerise my usenet environment on top of an ESXi installation.
But now it's bed time, so zzzzzzzzzz..........
@satibel I gtg offline in a couple of minutes... What's up?
11:48
@Rahul2001 for the website, give each message an ID, and send back only messages after the last received ID.
(and only add them, do not replace the whole block.)
12:03
@MichaelFrank ._.
WHRYYYYYYY?
12:14
So I just called the support hotline for my ISP, because they didn't get back to me about an IPv6 issue I was having
Turns out, they didn't even make a note of it
And, it's not their fault anyway. Is what they tell me now. I should call support for our router. So I did
When I told the dude that I assigned 2 IP addresses to the same server he was like "Well, obviously it can't work!"
I had to explain to him that, yes, you can assign multiple addresses to the same interface and that is actually not that uncommon
Especially with IPv6!
He told me he has never heard of something like that
Like, wtf, they're selling routers and he has never heard of multiple address on the same NIC?
Then he told me the problem was that I statically assigned an IP address from the DHCP range. Something apparently unthinkable
In the end, he acknowledged that there might be an issue. He found something in their knowledge base!
He sent me the link. And, what is it?
Troubleshooting when your IPv4 port forwarding isn't working
When it's pretty obvious to me that the problem is that their shitty UI/software only creates a firewall exception for the first IP address and it won't allow you to manually add more. Even though their system can already detect all addresses assigned to any NIC
And when I told him that he should better transfer me to someone who knows his shit, he threatened to hang up on me!
I am so angry right now >:(
You should tweet.
Always works
@JourneymanGeek I wish I had a following and could have an impact with angry rants on twitter :(
12:24
Also, ipconfig /release is not a good thing to execute on the machine you're currently exporting a Hyper-V guest to
Argh!
i hope they can fix the british grand prix
note to self: try to break isp's router by assigning 2 ips to the same nic.
@OliverSalzburg I'm also pretty sure they assume mac addresses are unique.
I'm pretty sure it is impossible to actually talk to anyone on the phone who knows anything about IPv6
I bet they all hired experts people temporarily
@Bob hmm, mobvoi's doing a slightly meh, 99usd android 2.0 watch on kickstarter
12:33
@allquixotic :D
@allquixotic lol, thats one for @bwDraco
You know what I really started to hate lately? The fact that you can substitute left-click with right-click for certain actions
Like, you can select an item from a context menu in Windows, with right-click
So you're in some high-latency remote session and try to open a context menu, but it won't open. So you right-click again in exactly the moment the menu pops open from the previous click and you hit that Cancel long-running operation now context menu item
Why?
12:56
Hello!
@Sat I'm online now
@allquixotic lol
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek mobwhat
@Bob guys who made my watch
Its kinda at the "eh, its cheap" and dosen't have the odd crapshoot of a android fork mine has
@JourneymanGeek Pretty sure I just bought these for 10€ the other day
probably did ;p
What watch do you have? Would you recommend it?
13:09
I have a ticwatch 2. Its "ok" but I'd totally not recommend it at this point
My first one broke, it runs "ticwear" - their own custom flavour of android...
@Rahul2001 I'm working now :p
Meh. I shouldn't be asking anyway. I'm broke :P
@satibel Ah cool
Well, message whenever
I should be online most of the day today
@Rahul2001 I did :p
@satibel there
@JourneymanGeek Fun fact: tweeting was the only way that I could actually reach a Dropbox support person to lift the block on my public links
@BenN why were they blocked in the first place?
Their AV hit a false positive on an EXE I uploaded
For some reason that causes their system to block all my links even after I remove the "offending" file
But the Public folder system is dead now, RIP
14:34
I don't like being the only guy on the family
First they force me to get a haircut
Then they drag me back to the shop because apparently it isn't short enough
rahul now^
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek hmmmm
roar
@allquixotic Heh. Corsair.
I've decided to go with a different case than the HAF X previously specified. I'll be using a Corsair Graphite 760D in black.
As for the graphics card, it'll be from EVGA.

@Ash yeah, I am aware, it's a bug, will post a meta when I find time.
This day just keeps getting better
Windows broke
@Rahul2001 what's wrong
or rather, which windows
considering capitalization, windows as in the OS
@Avery 10
Critical_service_failed BSOD restart loop
This ^
15:01
lol
new keyboard x)
@satibel what the hell is that?
@satibel can you click enter oh credit card number please
Do you guys think you can change the network cable on a server quickly enough for the connection to not be interrupted?
15:05
@Avery dude.... your face... its... its... gone......

are you not using gravatar?
no
https://i.stack.imgur.com/uAT1f.png?s=32&g=1 broken https://i.stack.imgur.com/uAT1f.png works
yeah
hence, it's a bug
15:07
upload to gravatar == job done
@Burgi Gravatar regularly has similar issues
I can fix it with gravatar.
@Avery 123456
I remember this issue coming up in all kinds of flavors anyway
I can fix it without
15:08
It's a prototype.
i've not had an issue since i uploaded to gravatar
but I don't want to fix it because there's obviously a bug that needs to be fixed
but... but.... i miss your big yellow happy face.... :(
it's not exactly caching
15:10
Weird, it shows blue on phone, grey on pc @Avery
And this.
@Avery CF gives very weird caching status responses. But, well, something is not right and it's their fault :D
yeah
and soon I should give the headache I had to figure out what's wrong to $stackdeveloper
Oh, better, mobile version is blue, desktop version is black.

15:18
There's ?s=32&g=1 making your picture corrupt. The avery seems to be a result of the picture not being there.
So imgur bug maybe.
Or not, maybe everyone else's cahed.
yea apparently scalling to 32 breaks it
i think g=1 is probably the image processing library
like libpng or imagetragik
at least I think s argument = scale
1809x1815 thats pretty high res
Though, mine is broken on imgur too.
i thought maybe it was a apng image which may have borked since chrome natively doesnt support apng images, unless you go the chrome extension route..
anyhow lunch time
Bon appetit.
15:35
@NotAdminDave g=1 means, only deliver if avatar is "G rated"
ah and s= square
No, that means size. It's always square
And it caches the resized images, you can supply any s=n you want
So for this specific cache entry, there is a problem
I guess im wrong all over the place then ;)
@NotAdminDave Good thing we talked about it ;D
Man, this Hyper-V guest export is taking forever O____o
switch to bhyve ?
:D
15:51
Sadly, my biggest computing projects are all waiting for Astaroth...
...and I can't build that desktop until the renovations are complete.
16:03
Oh fucking hell
I have an exam tomorrow
And these people at home are yelling
16:13
What is this
Someone help me :/
What can I help you with?
@BenN Not much, unfortunately
:(
16:35
@Burgi My testimony will say "basing the pivot point of your case on the age of a font is bordering on retarded and I am slightly ashamed that we are classified as being the same species. Go out and actually do some research and maybe talk to some REAL FSCKING EXPERTS. Maybe rather than basing your case on a date written in a damn Wikipedia article you should actually try asking a real company when they might have released previews or prerelease versions of their products."
@Mokubai lol
I suspect I may be being a bit overly grumpy about the issue.
@Mokubai which issue?
A lot of things made me very angry today
lol wow
that back log xD
Today in a sex ed workshop in school: There are boys and there are girls and then there are transgenders who are somewhere in between
And the way it was spoken about and neglected was very not okay
16:49
....
that's more than I ever got in sex ed at school
'There are boys and girls and you make babies
here stick this condom on this fake penis'
tada.
banana?
Nah
Actual almost sex toy thing.
but strangely lacking in testes
@djsmiley2k basically
our sex ed mentioned nothing at all about homosexuality or the distinction between sex and gender or transgender or anything like that
16:52
@Rahul2001 the case of the stupids who think that a release date means that absolutely no one in the world could have had something before that date. God forbid people within a company being told to take it home or otherwise use it to test it and "accidentally" leaking it... superuser.com/questions/1228731/…
hey, that Pakistan case was interesting.
@allquixotic Back when I was young sex and gender were synonymous. As far as I was concerned you could be gay, or you could like wearing different clothes. Whatever. Now the word gender means something else.
@jokerdino And yet, simultaneously stupid.
Did we delete it?
@jokerdino No, I linked it above.
ah, got it
16:57
must not get grumpy
must be happy
the document was sent to an expert in UK
BTW guys. I just hot-swapped the CAT5 cable on the server for a CAT6 cable and the transfer did not stop!
HAMMERTIME!
@allquixotic welcxome to education.
@jokerdino And while that person may have spent some time identifying the font, the sum output of his "expert" work was to copy paste an excerpt from Wikipedia and claim his dosh by the looks of it.
17:04
@Mokubai hm
People are stupid. Sooner we accept it and move on, the better
2
Amen.
We are different however. Geeks. Geeks are cool.
Except the geeks who are like ordinary people. Who can't really be considered geeks.
17:38
YAY THIS JUST MADE MY DAY!
@rahuldottech awesome to have you on the Duck Side! An anonymous easter egg in your honor https://duckduckgo.com/?q=rahuldottech
> June 26
little late?
@allquixotic I don't use twitter frequently
From a different legal case involving Calibri:
> Calibri first saw availability outside Microsoft in a Windows beta release on 9 August 2004. This was before Windows Vista had even been named, and was still under the code name β€œLonghorn.”

(The above is a shortened version of my sworn affidavit in a legal case involving a document that used Calibri, but was impossibly dated to March 2002.)
Not the same legal expert. quora.com/…
check top left
@Avery yep, I know ;)
17:44
also dammit gag reflex is the worst
lol and starred :)
lewd.
ran out of clean trays and didn't want to do too many back-and-forths from kitchen so I carried the spoon with my mouth and kinda really regret it
I know the way to defeat it (the hand thingy) and may have used it before but it doesn't really work when you're carrying stuff with your hands
This is scary: nothingprivate.ml
