@EinsteinsGrandson on an x86 Windows 8 Pro tablet, you can run 32-bit windows apps back to XP

if the tablet has an ARM CPU and runs "Windows RT" then you can't

Einsteins Grandson

Thank you allquixotic

allquixotic

basically if you see "WinRT" or "Windows RT", it can only run new Modern UI / Metro apps, not the .EXE based apps that run on your windows desktop today

HP - TouchPad Tablet with 16GB Memory

@BGM Hey I've been thinking about volunteering some of my time doing remote support. Let me know if you have a need and would be interested.

Einsteins Grandson

webOS 3.0 ... is this OS dead already?

;o)

that's what this HP tablet runs

or HP still believe webOS will prevail? ;o)))))))

Probably I will be able to run Android or some Linux on it right?

jailbreak it and record a new OS into it

In case I don't like webOS

allquixotic

@EinsteinsGrandson webOS is kind of a minority, yes -- it's nowhere near as developed/popular as Android, GNU/Linux, or Windows

you will be able to do "less stuff" (relatively speaking) on webOS, because it is less popular and has fewer developers making apps for it

when developer has to decide what platforms to support, they are more likely to support Android, Windows, even GNU/Linux over webOS

Einsteins Grandson

BTW, why do they release new Android every 6 months?

How about releasing new version every 2 years?

or 4 years?

allquixotic

@EinsteinsGrandson to keep ecosystem rapidly advancing and provide latest and greatest features with a fast release cycle

r.tanner.f

Because that's weaksauce

allquixotic

18:11

the latest trend in consumer-oriented software engineering is to release frequently... look at Firefox, Chrome builds

Windows even wants to start doing yearly releases!

r.tanner.f

Not to mention this whole DevOps business...

Einsteins Grandson

I buy an Android phone and Android tablet.... and will have to upgrade to new version every 6 months or more often....

allquixotic

people are sick of waiting half a decade for a software update

Einsteins Grandson

Or maybe they just want to sell more Windows licenses, more smartphones, more tablets etc...

allquixotic

@EinsteinsGrandson you don't have to upgrade, you can keep using the same old, and you can only update if the manufacturer provides an update; furthermore, the update process is extremely easy and you don't lose data

even if an application you use suddenly decides to require a newer version of Android, you just won't receive the update, but you can keep on using your old version of the app forever, until your device dies

same as if you were running Windows 95 and some app starts to require Windows XP to run

it doesn't delete the old app or anything

Einsteins Grandson

18:13

When I do it, most probably my device will not be secure anymore....

right?

Little Child

Hello guys! Does anyone know why Apple does not support Flash ? Is it because it is CPU-intensive ?

Einsteins Grandson

When I don't upgrade to a new version of Android

allquixotic

@LittleChild it's more of a political question than a technical one

Diago

@LittleChild Mac's do, iDevices's don't. Mainly because they are big supporters of HTML5

And hate Adobe.

allquixotic

they want people to use their APIs on their native platform, not run some technology that can be supported on multiple platforms

google "walled garden"

Little Child

18:14

oh.. I thought it was because Flash is CPU intensive. Play a Flash game for 20 mins and your CPU temp goes up like ... like..... I dont have a good comparison

Diago

@allquixotic No, they want people to use HTML5.

terdon

@slhck of course I don't mind, thanks. I thought -exec could deal with any file name but, as you correctly pointed out, I should have used '{}'. That's what I get for being too quick to answer :).

allquixotic

last I heard, they were like "meh, ok, whatever" regarding HTML5 -- sure, they champion it in a limited sense, but only because they want people to experience the poor integration of web apps so that they'll then request a native port to the iOS app store

Diago

They don't offer any API's that does what flash does.

r.tanner.f

@LittleChild More likely that they're worried it will cut in to their iTunes profits. :P

If you can run Flash you can find all those seedy websites that serve up free TV shows, movies; music using Flash.

allquixotic

18:16

HTML5 is a fallback sort of thing in my interpretation of Apple's view. they are OK with people using it, but only because some people actually do care about cross platform and aren't going to use their native APIs. but if Apple had their way, every app for every device would be written in Objective-C and target their APIs that only run on Mac or iOS

r.tanner.f

You can also play Flash games, again cutting in to their profits.

Little Child

oh ok! General observation: CPU temp goes up when you use Flash plugin.

r.tanner.f

@LittleChild That's because Flash is awful. ^_^

allquixotic

@LittleChild CPU temp also goes up when you watch video in HTML5.. your point?

terdon

@r.tanner.f thank you, it is awful.

Diago

18:17

@allquixotic Seriously? Where are you coming from? Did you not notice that the whole Apple website runs on HTML5?

allquixotic

watching video / running intensive scripts / blah blah = CPU and/or GPU temperature goes up and energy usage increases. welcome to multimedia

Little Child

@allquixotic yeah. :)

slhck

@terdon No worries, we're all here to learn :)

Little Child

Talking about YouTube, I want help with finding something. Hang on!

allquixotic

@Diago sure it does, but that's because plenty of people visit the Apple website on non-Apple devices. it's pragmatism. but can I buy a song in iTunes and listen to it in my browser using only HTML5?

can I buy a book on their book store and read it in my browser on Linux fully supporting HTML5 with no native plugin?

Little Child

/sigh

Wow. The question is, how do I accomplish what I described above which in my opinion was clear enought to get started. If you needed an example with dummy data, I could have provided it. As for writing VBA to do this, I would spend hours and hours trying to figure that out, what could take an expert 10 mins to do. I could then analyze what is in the code and begin to teach myself through that process. As for what you provide or do not provide. I am simply asking for help so if you don't want to help then don't. No need to get up in arms about my post. — user191933 1 min ago

Haha, to brag

Someone beta test my BatteryBeeper please

allquixotic

@slhck yeah i've already discussed my opinion on more liberal chat channels with people before, and i feel like newbies should almost come to chat right off the bat, ask their question full of XY and McSoftware shopping questions, and then we can help them formulate an actual question

Einsteins Grandson

Or that you can get flu when your PC has virus in it

from your PC

slhck

@allquixotic After all it's your fault if you want to chat with a help vampire, not theirs :)

Anyway, afk

allquixotic

maybe RA is the wrong place but there should be a chat room that's globally 0 rep requirement like "Newbies" or something, where people who really don't understand the site's policies etc can come and learn... 99% of the things we'll redirect them to a section of the FAQ or /about, but that 1% is conceptual things that no amount of webpaging will resolve

@slhck yeah, but through chatting with them I try to convert them from being a help vampire to something a little less blood-sucking

@Sathya you can't chat if you have <20 rep right?

We haven't talk anymore

Einsteins Grandson

non-IT people just don't have a clue what computers are about

allquixotic

@Sathya okay, so what I need to do is create and regularly lurk in a noob room with explicit write access for those cases where I'm feeling in the mood to re-educate a help vampire

Little Child

@EinsteinsGrandson true that!

and even some freshmen dont

allquixotic

18:40

and then link to that room from closed questions like that

Little Child

I had a few kids who didnt know how to browse a website

They'd open Google, type the web address , search and click the first link

terdon

@Sathya, I tried inviting a new user to chat today, created a new room and sent him an invite. He could not post there. What did I miss?

Sathya

the problem is, they need to have chat accounts first

r.tanner.f

@Sathya What do you mean?

Einsteins Grandson

Which can be a good thing and bad thing .... Good thing when you tell the client you worked on it 16 hours for 2 weeks and you didn't and bad thing when he tells you he thought he was really going to get Facebook for 500 bucks

allquixotic

18:41

@Sathya 99% of the time they won't already have a chat account, and if they do, it'll have 1 rep

and once joined in he accounts must be added to the ACL manually

that's all I'll say

if you really have to know, i think @TomWijsman knows where I work and probably @r.tanner.f

Einsteins Grandson

It's little bit crazy that they let you work 1 hour or 2 hours a day instead of 8

allquixotic

@EinsteinsGrandson well, if I have to get something done by a certain day, I will stay as late as I need in the evening to get it done and still charge the same number of hours

so I take the time I need to accomplish my work by the deadline, what else matters?

Sathya

18:48

@allquixotic @terdon In my experience, there's really, really, zero point in doing so (and I've become jaded of that ). but anyway since you folks are interested

allquixotic

@Sathya I can understand that you are jaded, because mods are so (ab)used already, but I like to think that some people can be taught to be good citizens of SE

Sathya

@allquixotic @terdon create a room. Which has been done, I guess. Invite the user to the room. Once the person enters, head over to the rooms/access tab

allquixotic

I might only get 1 in 10 people I "work on" to really go from help vampire to responsible querant and/or answerer, but that's worth it imho

Sathya

use the "add a user"

terdon

Aaaah, there is a "room's access tab" :)

Sathya

18:50

to the required ACL (ie,Explicit read/write access)

terdon

Thanks, I thought that was essentially what happened when I invited the user.

Sathya

@terdon that must be done manualy, if the user doesnt have the rep

allquixotic

@Sathya fantastic little guide -- is this written up somewhere on meta or a wiki or something?

allquixotic

18:53

@Sathya for some reason, I tried those exact steps before with a new user (@jtbadn, a RL friend) and was unable to get them chat access until they had 20 global rep and associated their chat account (which they, stupidly, created under a separate account instead of logging in with their SU account)

maybe it was a one-off thing

i almost want to do a test and create a separate session with separate cookies in my browser and make a new account and see if it actually works

Sathya

@allquixotic maybe I'm mistaken.. balpha says the 20-rep waiver is for mods only

@allquixotic you can try that.

allquixotic

i need to understand this so I can be confident of how it works instead of standing there like a dummy with a noob trying to get help from me

It is surprising how of the quality of vegetarian or kosher food is over normal stuff

As if they paid attention to what they made :)

r.tanner.f

19:08

@Hennes Rather than smashing together random animal parts and cooking it?

I try not to think about the meat I eat...

Einsteins Grandson

US has really bad food right?

comparing to Europe

r.tanner.f

Never been to Europe, but I'd be willing to bet that's a fair statement.

Einsteins Grandson

documentary film Food, Inc. is about it

r.tanner.f

Our standards are... low. Ever hear of hot dogs? :P

Einsteins Grandson

I mean lot of chemicals in the food

Which lead to cancer and other diseases

r.tanner.f

19:10

Yes, that's what I meant as well. It's all very sanitary, just... questionable content.

Hennes

@EinsteinsGrandson Depends on what you are used to. Compared to Europe it seems to have:

1) Really weak coffee (not bad, just watery)

2) Sweet food. Just about any recipe has a 'and then add a slash of corn sypup to taste)

3) Large meals. (I think we have more but smaller meals)

It is dangerous to generalise though. The US is big

Einsteins Grandson

i mean going to Walmart and cooking from ingredients from Walmart

or eating at Mc, KFC, Wendy's etc

r.tanner.f

I can't say I've ever put corn syrup in my food xD

but yes, we have a sweet tooth

Einsteins Grandson

;o)

Hennes

As for meat. I am fine with people eating meat. Though I prefer if they visiting a farm and a butcher and actually are required to stay while an animal is turned to meat

Einsteins Grandson

19:13

What do you mean Hennes?

r.tanner.f

And the state I'm from brews some serious coffee.

allquixotic

@Hennes if you go to a grocery store and buy pre-made stuff, almost everything has one or more of: MSG, trans-fat, or high fructose corn syrup. you have to create your own foods from raw ingredients (vegetables, seasonings, etc) to get good healthy food

Einsteins Grandson

you can find really poisinous food in some countries of Europe..

Hennes

People should know how animals are treated (e.g. 10 chickens per m^2 for 8 weeks). If they still want to eat meat after that: fine. Same with cows and pigs

Einsteins Grandson

but in Switzerland, Austria, France, Italy, Spain... the food is really clean

not so chemical than in other countries of Europe

Hennes

19:14

Well, yes. But I assume almost everybody cooks. (though I have a few friedns who visit mcDonalds 3 times per week. Yuk!)

I tried their food. White pastry like stuff. No taste, no structure. Clammy. And that was just the bread

Einsteins Grandson

The reason why those animals are treated like that is probably the cost

Hennes

Give me a sturdy brown bun. With seeds. And some barely cooked ground beer, some rocket as greenery.... tastes just fine

Einsteins Grandson

And in Asian countries the meat is so expensive ... that they eat bugs

Hennes

Aye to cost.

Einsteins Grandson

They don't have enough meat for 4 billion people that live in China

sorry, in Asia

Hennes

19:16

which is why I tend to select 'bio' or 'free range' products

Einsteins Grandson

but bio is more expensive right?

some people just can't afford it

Hennes

Aye

I can'r really afford it either. But is is a matter of principles

Einsteins Grandson

but it's true that some just spend money on stupid things instead of healthy food

So this may be painfully simple compared to what you are dealing with and yet windows doesnt like me.... All i am trying to do is change the desktop background of my current user via a .VBS, restart, and go ! ... No luck

all of my attempts have been directed just towards the registry key of wallPaper under HKCU

r.tanner.f

hmmmmmmmm

It seems soooo simple.

and yet I just suck at life lol

from what i found, you cannot use RUNDLL32.EXE user32.dll,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters

and you have to use a .bmp file

r.tanner.f

Lol ya I just tried changing it to a random .png on my desktop. No luck.

lol ugh /hatelife

r.tanner.f

Maybe it needs to be copied to AppData?

to a transcoded.bmp? yeah Thats the only thing I havent tried.

transcodedWallpaper *

r.tanner.f

@ZeroStack Wait. Mine's JPG...

Version of Windows?

Zero Stack

from what I read, regardless of what you set as the background - windows converts your file type to .bmp

and sets the file location to that transcodedwallpaper

so you may see a .jpg there, but its actually a pointer to the converted file in .bmp form

FROM what I read.

r.tanner.f

hmmm

I'll go look

When I push my location manually to that reg location (HKCU\control panel\desktop

r.tanner.f

Yeah, I'm looking at a .jpg in that folder.

Zero Stack

it reflects the change, but no change after restart.... But when I do the old fashioned right click on the desktop and apply a change, it will push that picture to the appData location

r.tanner.f

@ZeroStack how does it reflect the change?

manual ? or the old fashioned way?

r.tanner.f

"it reflects the change, but no change after restart" I'm confused there

Zero Stack

22:40

sorry - let me reword.

Oh, hey, I was able to just overwrite the TranscodedWallpaper.jpg =D

Zero Stack

When i do the background change via a script to alter the HKCU\control panel\desktop\wallpaer key ( from the appData.......location) to my new location, it makes the correct change to the registry, but the background doesnt change

^ even after restart

@r.tanner.f ....go on?

^ means it worked

r.tanner.f

lmao

Glad it's working. =D

Zero Stack

initially I saved the file as a .png ( why? no reason at all ).... Read about the .bmp issue so I just changed the file extension... Didnt work... I came on here, and you helped me ( thank you mucho btw) renamed it to a .jpg...didnt work... then with that last suggestion I opened it up in paint and saved over the file as a .JPG

Boom - it worked.

Thanks again. ( + some rep [its the least i can do ])
