also maaaaaaaan i swear these routers are getting slower and slower to boot.

Also, why are we using about 20 different project management platforms here >_<

I don't know if this error is crashing the router entirely, or it's just really slow :/

Normally it wouldn't stop at an error like that.

In other news, anyone tell me a win10 telnet client that gives you data like bytes in/out, etc ?

basically some kind of 'status bar'

Wow yup, that completely derps it.

@djsmiley2k tbh Iran/US is the one that worries me the most

mainly because trump buggered it all up

djsmiley2k

@Burgi Nod.

tis a mess.

"Former Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi has been buried hours after he collapsed in court and died on Monday.

His lawyer told the AFP news agency the former leader had been buried in eastern Cairo early on Tuesday morning with his family present.

Morsi, who was 67, had been in custody since his removal from office in 2013."

is what I'm on about.

His son wrote an Op Ed

A few months back for the <coughing noise> newspaper

Saying "they're denying him treatment for diabetes and hypertension

because they want him to die in jail"

Burgi

its entirely possible

bertieb

It's a pretty crappy thing to do

regardless of intent

everyone should get basic medical treatment

@rahuldottech panel mount switches are your friend.

bertieb

Hum, Microsoft's ICE is actually not Brad

Simpler to use than Hugin for panoramas, certainly

12:16 PM

@bertieb Who you callin brad?!

bertieb

@djsmiley2k Not MS's ICE, that fo sho!

I threw a stack of handheld manual 'hdr' (over/underexposed) photos at it and it produced something pretty darn reasonable!

djsmiley2k

Nice, but the wheels come off!

bertieb

@djsmiley2k Aye, that castle ain't going anywhere without that wheel

You're right there, Ted

Right, on with the work. One site down, at least 2 more to go

Journeyman Geek

@bertieb it's not Brad?

bertieb

@JourneymanGeek Yup, not Brad!

Burgi

1:00 PM

@bertieb Russell, perhaps?

bertieb

@Burgi B'wha?

HHGTTG reference?

Fenchurch's brother was called Russell, and DA did a whole it on guys called Russell?

Burgi

@bertieb ~~i wish i was clever enough to say "yes"~~ Not, no

bertieb

@Burgi Yes, you say?

That's pretty clever

Not no? That means yes

Burgi

nah, it is more ambigous than a straight up "yes"

scurries off to commit hard drive ID fraud

Is there anywhere

in the world

where renting software is illegal?

I mean, my toaster doesn't suddenly stop working if I stop paying a subscription to whoever manufactured it

Somewhere, RMS is laughing

Stroking his fine beard

And saying "told you so"

harrumph

rahuldottech

2:07 PM

@bertieb pretty sure it is

Because you don't own the software, you are given a license to use it

And one of the terms is that no one but you will use it

So renting it out? Prooooobably illegal.

IANAL tho

@Burgi lol let's see

So facebook launched a cryptocurrency

From the white paper:

> "Libra’s mission is to enable a simple global currency and financial infrastructure that empowers billions of people."

They do this by issuing coins in exchange for fiat money, which is held by the reserve.

> "Interest on the reserve assets will be used to cover the costs of the system, ensure low transaction fees, pay dividends to investors who provided capital to jumpstart the ecosystem [...]. Users of Libra do not receive a return from the reserve."

Conceptually this is a bank, but with no interest returned to users, no financial oversight from governments, co…

@rahuldottech yup

Gaming Cafes, at least in the early 2000's, had to get a special licence to allow people to come in and play the games.

I'd be surprised if Microsoft doesn't technically have something about people using windows even.
