Anyone have any practice with ghostscript?

ugh, InstallShield Limited Edition == InstallShield Useless Edition

soandos

03:01

@allquixotic what are you trying to do with it?

allquixotic

@soandos just make an installer for a 64-bit Windows Service to bring some sanity and ease of management to an in-house server process

soandos

sanity is usually too much to ask for

allquixotic

I ended up doing it in InnoSetup but I had to write some Pascal code and customize an install script, so it was more effort than a point and click, but got the features I needed which Flexera's crapware was missing

or so ive seen from every IT department

i never got the hang of scripting GUI stuff

@JourneymanGeek I seem to be using my Surface Pro during the week and my desktop during the weekends :P hmmmm

I guess the Surface Pro is more convenient (way, way faster to turn on and get running) and I'm too tired to do gaming anyway

Journeyman Geek

lol

yeah

allquixotic

electricity is too cheap in the US, so I don't think I'll ever repay the cost of the Surface Pro by running it instead of my desktop (max. 48W vs. max. 1000W, and the 'Pro rarely uses the full 48W)

Journeyman Geek

I found that with my tablet

allquixotic

pretty sure my desktop idles around 150W because the fans, lights, idle GPU, and large plasma screen drain a good amount of juice (and give off a lot of heat, which then has to be cooled down by the AC)

probably closer to 200W once you consider the cost of cooling the air that it heats up

Journeyman Geek

03:14

plasma screen? o0

interesting choice of display

allquixotic

@JourneymanGeek yeah, plasma TV

Journeyman Geek

we have one as our main TV

allquixotic

nevermind

it's not a plasma screen, I thought it was

shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/TC-L32DT30

it's LED

Journeyman Geek

looks GLORIOUS, but low res (800x600!!!!!) and hot as hades

allquixotic

I knew it wasn't LCD

Journeyman Geek

03:16

lol

LED is LCD

different backlight (and there's variations there)

allquixotic

o.o

it is?

Journeyman Geek

it is!

there's true LED displays

allquixotic

OLED/AMOLED is quite different from LCD though, right?

Journeyman Geek

but they're the sorta thing you'd use in a football stadium of any religious preference

OLED is different

but I can't think of anyone who uses them on TV sized screens

allquixotic

didn't know my primary display was an IPS LCD... it's not that good of a display... my Surface Pro's display is much clearer, the colors are more accurate, and it has a better response

Journeyman Geek

03:18

lol

allquixotic

just smaller, but for the display that it is, it's worlds better

I need to get it calibrated

Journeyman Geek

IPS dosen't have great response

IIRC

(then again, I have a 20 inch asus I bought primarily cause of cheapness)

allquixotic

Anandtech said you can vastly improve the color accuracy of your Surface Pro's display by getting it software calibrated by the correct equipment

there's even an option in Windows itself to begin the calibration, but you need some kind of hardware

Journeyman Geek

screens are one thing I haven't gone snobby over...

yet...

like the colourhug?

allquixotic

apparently the hardware is much more capable of true color accuracy than the factory settings would suggest

Journeyman Geek

03:20

hmm, maybe not, does the pro dualboot?

hughski.com

allquixotic

they compared the default Surface Pro color accuracy to the "ideal" and it was just about average compared to other tablets

Journeyman Geek

reasonably priced apparently, but boots off a livecd

allquixotic

but when you tune it / calibrate it, it's the best in the class

whoa

that device looks awesome

Journeyman Geek

I want one ;p

not sure if its significantly cheaper than commercial versions tho

something like this spyder.datacolor.com/portfolio-view/spyder4pro

allquixotic

@JourneymanGeek their FAQ indicates it's better/cheaper than the commercial versions

Journeyman Geek

03:29

@allquixotic: and upgradable

XD

good to know your options in any case

allquixotic

I'll probably get one soon

although Microsoft should really calibrate their display in the factory >_<

@JourneymanGeek any chance you know somewhere that I can buy a "customized" laptop online?

(picking RAM amount, HDD, etc)

Journeyman Geek

most companies will let you do thatr

soandos

In the range I am looking at (8+GB RAM, gen3 i7, 7200rpm HDD) they all come with things I don't want

Journeyman Geek

MIGHT be cheaper to buy a base model and upgrade yourself tho

soandos

like multiple graphics cards

and how useful is it to get a 7200 rpm over a 5400?

HackToHell

@soandos real useful, speeds increase 30pc iirc

soandos

Thats what I thought. They are hard to find in laptops (stock anyways)

Ben Richards

I'm overclocking my cpu. Well, trying. :P

AMD's Auto-Tune in the CPU Overdrive program is running.

I'm living dangerously. :P

nice. how are you keeping the the temp down?

Ben Richards

It's air-cooled. Cooler Master V8.

HackToHell

@BenRichards Overdrive does not work for me :(

Ben Richards

@HackToHell Last time I tried, my computer BSOD'd on me after a while. It's actually getting to the point where it did last.

Hopefully it won't this time.

HackToHell

04:10

It think my CPU is not supported, it does not work on my GPU too

Ben Richards

Ah. I have a black edition. So, unlocked multiplier :)

HackToHell

MSI Afterburner to OC GPU and Mobo settings to OC CPU

@BenRichards a phenom ?

Ben Richards

I tried overclocking my GPUs but I couldn't get a stable overclock at all. But then again that was manual.

@HackToHell Yeah. Phenom II 955 x4 Black Edition.

Stock clock rate is 3.3 GHz.

Well, that's not stable.

So, now what? :P

Ah there we go. I see it rebooting.

HackToHell

lol

Ben Richards

I guess it can tell when it's unstable or something.

I was wondering if it'd just hang or if it'd automatically reboot, like it claims. :P

HackToHell

04:14

Stabilizing my OCd CPU tool a long time :P

Ben Richards

Apparently it knows what it's talking about!

Wow! When it reboots, it says "autotune is done! look at the CPU Overdrive page to see the test results"

Smart program.

I want moar upload! :(

I moved all my photos from Google+ to Drive yesterday, took forever

William Hilsum

@OliverSalzburg Next time, feel free to bring your laptop to my office! :)

And sorry :( UK Only!

Oliver Salzburg

@WilliamHilsum :D

William Hilsum

I wonder if any ISP is multinational... excluding common owners... e.g. can you share an infrastructure cross country? I think there are just too many legal obstacles... why big players just have loads of different ISPs :(

Oliver Salzburg

08:10

@WilliamHilsum Interesting

T-mobile is multinational. If you want to call them an ISP

William Hilsum

@OliverSalzburg Well, again... I don't think they are... T-Mobile/Deutsche Telekom just buy out ISPs/networks across the country...

same as Telefonica/O2

pretty much any country is independent...

I just guess the way countries are set up, it isn't that easy to share core infrastructure :/ ... I don't see why you couldn't across Europe with enough planning...

Oliver Salzburg

Okay, I'm seriously getting fed up with these stupid Google storage services. Someone please explain to me where I'm going wrong or what I should use instead. So I used to auto-upload to Google+ at full size, but it has become nearly impossible to grab a single photo at full size and download it.

Also, I was unable to properly sync data through Picasa. It would simply hang and never complete. So I was unable to get the files back to my computer. Which is terribly annoying

So I moved it all to Drive, because you can just as easily access files in Drive from Google+, so why put them on Google+ anyway? But in Drive, it's impossible to get a direct link to an image wtf

Oliver Salzburg

08:27

Trying out FolderSync now...

Oliver Salzburg

08:38

Oh wtf... no SSO support for Google services, full app doesn't replace lite version or import the configuration... O__O

Argh, and once you switch to full app you have to re-setup the accounts

Journeyman Geek

@WilliamHilsum: most own subsidiaries

for example singtel owns one of the aussie ISPs whose name I forget

yeah, that

Bob

Huh.

Seems like I missed a bunch of drama last night.

@KitFox Hi there!

Journeyman Geek

@JourneymanGeek Says what?

missing drama ;p

@tombull89 Let me know if he ever appears there. I'll need some popcorn, too.

I mean, I can't quite remember how often you should recharge a Li-ion laptop battery in long term storage.

But that's the general process, AFAIK.

09:19

@JourneymanGeek I only caught it because I was pinged.

Still not entirely sure why.

I'm not sure why i got pinged

since I was actually telling him to post other answers to avoid getting in trouble ;p

...

> These include storing payment credentials in Chrome to make it easier for consumers to checkout

NO

Why the f*** would.. that's just...

There's a reason you're prompted to enter a password for this kind of thing.

Not that many people don't save those passwords anyway, but that's hardly a new feature.

Oliver Salzburg

@Bob I assumed a lot of that movement is directed at the concept of being able to "pay with your phone"

Chrome has been storing CC data for quite some time

Journeyman Geek

wasn't google working on a micropayment system?

checkout iirc

Oliver Salzburg

@JourneymanGeek Pretty sure that's what the article is (partly) about ;D

Journeyman Geek

lol

read the article?

Oliver Salzburg

It's called Wallet by now

Journeyman Geek

10:17

one moment, let me do that ;p

Bob

@OliverSalzburg Yea. Honestly, a bad idea. But people are lazy.

Still, just love how all these are apparently new features.

Oliver Salzburg

@Bob It's pretty crazy. Especially since Chrome offers no protection of the stored data. To my understanding, their policy is "Lock your workstation"

Bob

@OliverSalzburg Whoever said that was definitely technologically challenged.

That's just stupid.

Oliver Salzburg

But Wallet works pretty much like PayPal to me. They have been using it on the Android Market for quite some time

Journeyman Geek

>_>

@OliverSalzburg: about the only reason I use paypal is I can bank transfer money into it ;p

Bob

10:19

That basically means that anyone with fifteen minutes with your computer (and don't mention those shady repair shops) have access to all your financial data.

Journeyman Geek

(stupid lack of usable debit card)

@Bob: I am my shady repair shop

Oliver Salzburg

@Bob Well, everything basically. As this also applies to stored passwords

Bob

@JourneymanGeek The other shady :P

Journeyman Geek

least when I forget to turn on the light ;p

Bob

@OliverSalzburg I am guilty of that for some sites :P

Oliver Salzburg

10:22

But, I (being a super user and all that ;P) don't really have a problem with this. Like, if your machine is not secure, your data isn't either.

Having a master password on your browser is nice, but if someone can pull an unencrypted image of your hard drive in a repair shop, he can probably break the password at some point

Also stuff like this:

The problem is any malware can get your passwords. That's why we need master passwords. — DmitryR Dec 21 '12 at 11:18

As if that would stop the malware from simply reading the unencrypted data out of memory once it's unlocked

Bob

@OliverSalzburg I think I answered something along those lines before :P

ah

here it is

A: How safe is the password manager in browsers?

If you have malware on your computer, no passwords entered or stored on it can be considered truly safe. Even encrypted passwords such as KeyPass databases, as soon as you enter the details required to decrypt it the attacker can retrieve your passwords. Browsers typically do not pay very much a...

@HackToHell which one?

also ff has masterpassword support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/security-and-passwords-settings

Bob

@HackToHell Link?

@HackToHell Yes, I know that, that's pretty much exactly what my answer used as an example...

HackToHell

@Bob uhm I forgot the title ... :(

@Bob whoops didn't read fully

Oliver Salzburg

Actual actual reality: nobody cares about his secrets. (Also, I would be hard-pressed to find that wrench for $5.)

Journeyman Geek

Before you say anything, no, I know not to leave my computer sitting out logged in to all my accounts. I have it set up so after a few minutes of inactivity it automatically switches to my brother's.

that one?

lol

Oliver Salzburg

Oh, that one makes more sense, yeah :D

Journeyman Geek

11:12

I am guilty of leaving at least one computer all the time

Bob

@JourneymanGeek :D

Journeyman Geek

kk.org/cooltools/archives/11821 somehow tasting good to bears might be a BAD thing to me

Oliver Salzburg

My whole account security setup relies solely on 3 physical devices. If they were all to burn in a fire at the same time, I would never be able to access anything ever again

Journeyman Geek

"Oh, my house didn't catch fire. It was chewed on by bears tho"

lol

@OliverSalzburg: in my case everything comes back to a small piece of pink plastic

(my ID card ;p)

Oliver Salzburg

Sounds interesting. I don't know what kind of setup that is, but I know that "being able to identify myself" would not let me get back into my security ring :D

Journeyman Geek

11:15

lol

Oliver Salzburg

I wish I could give some sort of backup access to someone, but there is simply nobody you can trust ;P

Journeyman Geek

lets say my house caught fire and my phone blows up

I'd go to the bank, explain it, show the ID and sign some stuff, and use that to draw money

then go to the phone company and do the same thing and get a new phone

and... etc etc ;p

Oliver Salzburg

Oh, that kind of stuff. Yeah, my bank account probably would be easy to get back into

I'm talking about the important stuff. ;D

Journeyman Geek

online stuff///

4-5 passwords

apparently laser pointers >1mW are classified as dangerous weapons here

whoops

Journeyman Geek

11:17

yeah

it is in quite a few places

Bob

I think I have one sitting in a cupboard somewhere.

Oliver Salzburg

I only use randomly generated passwords, which I store in KeePass. KeePass is stored in Google Drive. But getting access to drive requires one of those randomly generated passwords and, of course, the Google Authenticator for two-factor auth, in case you're trying to get to it from an untrusted machine.

Bob

@JourneymanGeek probably going in the trash next time i see it :P

maybe

Journeyman Geek

lol

@Bob: unless you use it, no one will know/care ;p

Bob

@JourneymanGeek huh

Journeyman Geek

11:19

lol

they're cause of idiots who point them at aircraft

Bob

my bank visits are more 'here's my name and address. oh, you can change my phone number? GREAT!'

@JourneymanGeek yea, I know :P

Journeyman Geek

lol

Bob

@OliverSalzburg my keepass file (stored on dropbox and two computers) requires a keyfile

which is only stored in one physical location while I'm at home

Oliver Salzburg

@Bob Yeah, key file is required for mine as well as password ;D

Bob

I'll have no trouble getting the database back if the house blows up (assuming I survive), but I'll probably never get the thing unencrypted again :P

Oliver Salzburg

11:22

I actually have backups of my key file at random locations on the internets

Thanks to the composite key, I'm not too worried about that

And, all this security is obviously just to keep my Reddit user account password safe!

HackToHell

@JourneymanGeek @bob yep that one :P

@OliverSalzburg bury it somewhere :D :P

Oliver Salzburg

@HackToHell You should try running the studio.bat from the command prompt

HackToHell

Oliver Salzburg

It probably prints somehting like "FAIL! Press button to continue" and that .bat process hangs around in the background forever :P

HackToHell

@OliverSalzburg There is not bat file .... or cmd window

Oliver Salzburg

11:29

@HackToHell The shortcut in the start menu points to a studio.bat does it not?

HackToHell

no, it points to studio.exe

slhck

@OliverSalzburg 111 upvotes for a question that basically already contains the answer?

> Please validate either ANDROID_STUDIO_JDK, or JDK_HOME or JAVA_HOME points to valid JDK installation

Heh, indeed, I guess that invokes studio.bat then...

HackToHell

banned :D

he flagged quixy

allquixotic

slhck

Yeah, the message where I explained him what he did wrong was also flagged and, subsequently, deleted by some other mod.

Journeyman Geek

;p

funny thing was I had NO idea he had been banned

I assumed he got bored or something

slhck

Yeah. To an outsider it could even seem like he did nothing wrong, and… explaining the whole story would take forever.

HackToHell

11:38

Oliver Salzburg

No, I banned him. I didn't want to have him talking garbage after everyone left. You can't leave people like that unattended

Bob

wait. why was it deleted?

Journeyman Geek

@OliverSalzburg: I'm used to IRC. You can usually tell when someone is banned. SE chat is a silent assassin

@slhck: even more wierdly, WE'RE NOT THE ONE WHO BANNED HIM ;p

and of the three people he called out, one was trying to actively help him, and one has no clue what the hell is going on.

Oliver Salzburg

@JourneymanGeek Heheh, yeah. I actually didn't want to mention it. That creates the possibility of someone asking him something and he can't answer. Which would make him really mad, I guess. It's part of my sadistic moderator personality disorder I have.

Journeyman Geek

lol

He DID get really mad

he came in ranting ;p

Oliver Salzburg

11:43

He got himself banned though his actions

slhck

@JourneymanGeek Well, he was banned once for the usual self promotion thing. And then he escalated on Meta. meta.superuser.com/questions/6640/how-do-i-cancel-my-account

Oliver Salzburg

He had every chance to talk about his issues constructively

He didn't want to do that. End of story

Journeyman Geek

I'm not sure if he thought he'd convince anyone to quit SE cause its an unfair place

@slhck: SF has a long term ban, and SE corporate talked to him

there's another post on MSO he posted IIRC

slhck

@JourneymanGeek Yeah, so after all we actually were among the nicer folks.

Journeyman Geek

@slhck: thats the sad bit

slhck

11:44

Which reminds me, I still have to use up all of my daily votes for @OliverSalzburg to get the mod cross-voting ring going.

Oliver Salzburg

Yes, please! :D

Journeyman Geek

XD

speaking of mod conspiracies, I need to check on the SF election ;p

Oliver Salzburg

The only truth in that statement is the fact that you can post a question/answer here in chat and probably get more feedback than usual. But there's really no guarantee that it will be positive feedback ;D And this "feature" isn't exclusive to mods either

Journeyman Geek

@OliverSalzburg: there's nothing stopping someone from anonymously downvoting posts

Oliver Salzburg

But this concept would have probably went right over his head

@JourneymanGeek Well, "nothing" except for the reputation limit you need to reach to gain the privilege and the reputation penalty for doing so ;D

Journeyman Geek

11:47

ironically negative feedback means people care enough to try to fix the cranial-posterior insertions that causes this sorta thing

XD

Oliver Salzburg

But being upvoted so much by fellow moderators, I obviously have enough rep to spare!

Bob

@OliverSalzburg careful, some might miss the sarcasm :P

Journeyman Geek

It always creates the same mix for me

Journeyman Geek

"No maam, they took away our quota, we can pull over as many people as we want"

@OliverSalzburg: you need to add songs other than the ketchup song! ;p

Oliver Salzburg

I start with a dubstep mix and it switches to a hardtechno piece next and 2 or 3 pieces after that, I'm listening to rap wtf

Journeyman Geek

(no, do not listen to it. Its like the goddamned most annoying earworm I have EVER HAD THE MISFORTUNE of accidentally hearing)

And I got the identical mix yesterday and downvoted a ton of stuff in the hopes that it won't be mixed in again

And today I'm listening to the same garbage

@OliverSalzburg: Its your sanity ;p

(let me put it this way. I MENTION IT, it immediately earworms. Need to wash it out with decent music ;p)

and I actually can never remember the name of the song cause ... its that earwormy. My brain blanks it out, like its some horrible elder god from lovecroft, too horrible to comprehend
