@OliverSalzburg : Kinda related... easyeda.com you can design your own PCB's and have them instantly delivered to you from the website if youre into circuits ;)

Neat

The emoji map is pretty cute @DavidPostill

@NotAdminDave lol. I never tried that option :)

NotAdmin Dave

I cant get the emoji map to work in 3d mode though :/

But that doesnt matter. Still nice maps

Oliver Salzburg

2:26 PM

@DavidPostill I assumed we were only talking about the +2. Good catch

wtf @ the emoji view xD

Q: Dirt next to mouse pointer icon

I am using Arch Linux. Sometimes the icon of the mouse pointer changes and pixels appear like dirt on the right of the arrow. pic1 and pic2 show the problem. The issue disappears after reboot. I suspect this to happen after an intensive use of resources but I am not sure at all. This is the ve...

Oliver Salzburg

How this is not a use-case that is covered by any UI by now, is beyond me

Bob

2:41 PM

@OliverSalzburg Oh that's fun. I set that up to be able to send emails with a from address of my aliases :)

On O365, not local Exchange.

Oliver Salzburg

Yeah, I really don't get why this is a problem. I have a group sales@company.com. Why is it a complicated task to have members of that group be able to send emails with that address?

Bob

@OliverSalzburg It wasn't that complicated... though what pisses me off is they introduced new O365 groups that don't seem to be able to do this. And they're pushing for old DLs to be upgraded. If they get rid of the old DLs I'm screwed. And probably moving to Google Apps.

NotAdmin Dave

@DavidPostill gpu starting to go out?

Its common, mine started doing that before my GPU had to be replaced.

DavidPostill

@NotAdminDave Fixed by a reboot suggests not.

Oliver Salzburg

@Bob Yeah, we got those O365 groups as well on our own tenancy. This problem is just regular old on-prem annoyance

2:44 PM

@NotAdminDave mine does it sometimes when the PC has been on for 5 days straight

Oliver Salzburg

And it's still not working :P

NotAdmin Dave

@DavidPostill: Interesting, well I observed freezing behavior too after sometime while the pixels were goofed like that, which would require me to reboot (obviously lol). Eventually though, shit died.

:/

Bob

> You have taken responsibility.

Well ain't that an ominous subject.

NotAdmin Dave

Cool, im going to bounty it.. Ive been wanting to bounty something.

Hes been waiting for a long time for an answer anyway, feel kinda bad for the dude

@OliverSalzburg Odd feeling of deja vu here :P

(saw it on RSS. saw it from your chat link. saw it on Reddit. ... saw it from your chat link again?)

so apparently it's big news? :P

@Bob github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/930 is the important link anyway ;D

40,000 files have been added to our repo

Send as still doesn't work

And the error analysis tools of Exchange refuse to work because they can't connect to the internet

HTTP proxy is too advanced of a technology for Exchange :P

question: what would be the best way to open huge excel file, up to 1Gb?

Ben N

What kind of data are you trying to get out of it?

If you need to use all the features of Excel, you should probably try to open it with Excel, if that works

Otherwise, maybe try Excel Online?

Though if you're storing that much data in a spreadsheet, you might want to move to an actual database

Andy K

thanks @BenN. I've managed to open it with Excel

Oliver Salzburg

@AndyK 64bit Office and lots of RAM

Avery

powerbi?

Bob

@OliverSalzburg Don't even need 64-bit; Excel handles huge files surprisingly well.

Andy K

3:33 PM

@Bob did not know that

Bob

They probably needed it after everyone started using spreadsheets as databases...

djsmiley2k

upto 2 mil rows iirc

Oliver Salzburg

Heheh

Bob

@AndyK Do you intend to just pull one piece from it, or actually parse data out to use elsewhere? Is it xls, xlsx, csv, something else?

djsmiley2k

@OliverSalzburg o365 doesn't work, you can't connect to the internet

I'm seeing a pattern here...

:P

Bob

3:35 PM

Usually if I'm given an xls(x) I chuck it through Excel, export as CSV, and process the CSV (w/ CsvHelper on .NET). Though processing xlsx direct isn't that much harder.

Andy K

@Bob just xls. I managed to open it

Oliver Salzburg

@djsmiley2k Those are different "projects" though

But if the pattern is "MS software is shit", then I would agree right now

And I just found another approach to the Send-As problem moments ago and the employee who is affected by this is already out of the office

Andy K

bye

djsmiley2k

@OliverSalzburg for our one, which went on for weeks

we had to do what I originally said - delete and recreate the local mail profile on her machine

once that was done, all the problems went away

it went on for weeks because the user was so uncontactable

Oliver Salzburg

Ugh

djsmiley2k

3:50 PM

she'd make sure to reply to the emails, telling us that she couldn't do what we needed at the time

which unfortunately was enough to keep the ticket open

Rahul2001

4:39 PM

@BenN I figured the argument thing out!

Ben N

:D

What did you discover?

Rahul2001

It doesn't appear to be documented anywhere on the internet though, I had to experiment around

@BenN Blog post coming up in a minute....

bwDraco

4:56 PM

Looking back at some recent TMUS press releases... newsroom.t-mobile.com/news-and-blogs/categories/network/…

This is outright scathing.

> [...] Verizon has a bigger fundamental problem: spectrum, the life blood of the wireless industry. Verizon has by far the least amount of spectrum per customer!

WTF

Ben N

The source might be a little biased though

bwDraco

OTOH, Sprint actually has by far the most spectrum per customer but they haven't been able to use it (2.5 GHz needs very high cell site density).

@BenN Kinda, but this was only a couple of weeks before OpenSignal confirmed in their latest report that Verizon and AT&T data speeds had indeed regressed over the last several months.

(disclosure: I'm an OpenSignal user)

opensignal.com/blog/2017/08/02/…

> Our 4G speed results for Verizon dropped by 2 Mbps, allowing T-Mobile to leap ahead of Big Red in our rankings. What happened? Unlimited plans happened.

Ben N

Ah

bwDraco

> The most likely explanation for this sudden drop in average speeds compared to peak speeds is that Verizon’s network is experiencing more congestion due to its new unlimited plans. By opening up the data spigot, customers start consuming more data more often, forcing them to vie against one another for more capacity on each cell site. The more data demand there is on a network, the more average speeds will drop, regardless of the network’s technological capabilities.

(not sure why I pulled that)

Ben N

I'm a Verizon customer, though not particularly enthusiastic about it

I have noticed cell signal strength dropping in the past couple months

bwDraco

5:04 PM

Have speeds noticeably dropped?

Ben N

Not sure about speed since I do very little web stuff on my phone, but call quality has gotten noticeably worse

bwDraco

Congestion.

I'm honestly a bit surprised that multiple data sources have been able to confirm that Verizon and AT&T's network performance have regressed since they reintroduced unlimited data.

First it's Ookla Speedtest, now it's OpenSignal.

@allq: Vega preliminary hashrate benchmarks are considerably worse than expected, doing 30-35 MH/s: steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@plainbroadcast/…, 1stminingrig.com/…

It will probably hold up better long-term, but at least gamers have a shot at getting the cards.

Rahul2001

@BenN Done! rahul.tech/…

Is the explanation clear enough?

fixer1234

@Rahul2001, good writeup.

tereško

@bwDraco based on how terrible the code in most of miners is, I am not even slightly surprised

I had this thought like a month ago - I should mine some Etherium (before it crashed)

the second thought was - let's take a look at the code

... which was promptly followed up by - MY EYES, MY EYES!!!
