@DavidCole-GrammarPolice when you think about how the Note 7 has a larger screen but thinner and smaller body, that it's IP68, that it has an actual headphone jack, and an iris scanner

David Cole - Grammar Police

Theyre right though

For the size, phone's cpus are INSANE

Zacharee1

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice the prices I quoted are for the Plus. I didn't check the normal, just to make sure that's clear.

7:16 PM

Okay

Kaz Wolfe

Still no NFC

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe it has to. The 6 does, for Apple Pay

Kaz Wolfe

Still no OPEN nfc

Zacharee1

Well duh

Q: Ubuntu 16.04 su can claim USB device, but other users cannot

I've just installed OceanOptics SpectraSuite in Ubuntu 16.04, which interfaces a USB digital spectrometer to the laptop. When I execute the software as user 'instructor', it starts up without access to the hardware. If I execute using sudo, it starts up normally and the hardware is properly ini...

Apple is truly stagnating. Those earbuds are easy to lose, non exchangeable and probably expensive.

I see this iPhone doing poorly

Kaz Wolfe

yep yep and yep

Nathan Osman

Guess what... my current phone is quad-core, two of which are low-power. Also 6 GB of RAM.

Apple is just playing catch-up.

Kaz Wolfe

@Zacharee1 iSheep

Zacharee1

Kind of like the S6 and Note 5

@KazWolfe baaaah

David Cole - Grammar Police

7:18 PM

HOLY DICKS

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman 6GB is kinda an exception in the case of smartphones :p

David Cole - Grammar Police

$749!?!?!?

DAFUQ

Zacharee1

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice lol

The S7 is the same price

David Cole - Grammar Police

THAT MORE THAN I SPENT ON MY MONSTER PC

Zacharee1

But you know, edge screen, lighter, SHINYYYY

Kaz Wolfe

David Cole - Grammar Police

XD

What on earth is that?

Zacharee1

This is why they're going to lose business. At least the Android flagship companies have midrange options.

David Cole - Grammar Police

besides sheep

Zacharee1

Most people aren't going to be able to afford this iPhone

David Cole - Grammar Police

yeah

god knows Im not

iPhone SE = iPhone stack exchange ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Is a regular iPhone 6 a thing?

or is it just 6S

Kaz Wolfe

7:22 PM

not anymore lol

why buy a crappy 6 when the 7 is out?

David Cole - Grammar Police

Because I can't afford it

Kaz Wolfe

then you're not allowed to shop at apple

David Cole - Grammar Police

true

Kaz Wolfe

you need to be able to buy the entire store and still be able to pay your mortgage. they screen you on hte way in.

Zacharee1

RPi Awesomeness

@edwinksl Uh, yeah, no thanks.

David Cole - Grammar Police

Now time for my sob story

RPi Awesomeness

Earbuds are easy enough as it is to lose. That's just stupid.

edwinksl

7:30 PM

"2) Make a "Find my Airpods" feature that plays a really loud ass beep out of the headphones when they inevitably fall out of my ears/hands/pocket/bag/everywhere"

Kaz Wolfe

are they supported on windows?

@edwinksl nonono. they don't make noise when out of ears

Zacharee1

Guys, they have EarPods still, but they're lightning

the AirPods are $170

edwinksl

170?

Zanna

Hey I got an un-upvote

Zacharee1

edwinksl

David Cole - Grammar Police

haiku

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 weak haiku

Zacharee1

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice that brings your grand total, if you want 256GB storage and dual cameras to $1129

@edwinksl iz best haiku

$1129 is more than my laptop cost

Zanna

Yes it was you? Haha

Zacharee1

7:34 PM

and I don't see the iPhone 7 playing any PC games

So @Zanna, you willing to shell out $1129 for that new Jet Black iPhone 7 Plus with AirPods?

totally worth imo

no debate

Zanna

apple couldn't pay me to use their locked down junk

Zacharee1

Not even for 450mbps LTE?

:p

David Cole - Grammar Police

Yo guys

Do me a favor

Spread this link

i'm definitely staying with the Nexus line.

Zacharee1

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice no, I'm not getting you an iPhone

David Cole - Grammar Police

7:38 PM

:(

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe what if ASUS or Motorola makes the next one

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice :p

Kaz Wolfe

@Zacharee1 Asus? Hells yeah

David Cole - Grammar Police

Ill make this the new sidemenbook.co.uk

Zacharee1

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice Don't waste your money on an iPhone 6. The Honor 8 and Axon 7 cost $400 and they're new

David Cole - Grammar Police

Not my money

Kaz Wolfe

7:39 PM

Nexus 6.

Zacharee1

And the Axon 7 is up-to-par with the S7

camera software is terrible, but it's $400 and BL unlockable

David Cole - Grammar Police

yeah, but imessage

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe If he's gonna get a new phone, it should be a new phone

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice how useful is that actually to you?

David Cole - Grammar Police

very

Zacharee1

and what carrier do you have

David Cole - Grammar Police

7:40 PM

also itunes

I have $100 worth of music

Zacharee1

You can out that on Droid AFAIK

David Cole - Grammar Police

iTunes?? nah

Zacharee1

Also, an iPhone 6 is technically 2.5 generations behind anyway

David Cole - Grammar Police

sh

SH

SHHHHHHHHHH

Zacharee1

Also androidauthority.com/…

Seriously though, an iPhone is not the phone to get if you are poor. Accessories cost a ton, repairs cost a ton, the phone itself costs a ton

David Cole - Grammar Police

7:42 PM

Im going home, be back in like 15-20 mins

Zacharee1

if you get the most basic you can, you don't get anything really

Oh also, Google Play has this survey app where you answer surveys and get a little credit for the store. That means, if you're on top of answering, you could probably get a free $3 song one every two or three weeks

Kaz Wolfe

why imessage

imessage sucks

@Zacharee1 i got banned from that :( so much salt

Zacharee1

what did you do?!

did you choose "prefer not to answer" on everything?

Kaz Wolfe

no, i just never got a survey after the demo one

Zacharee1

so how do you know you're banned

Kaz Wolfe

7:48 PM

because i'd get surveys by now

Zacharee1

Maybe you're not getting notifications for some reason?

Kaz Wolfe

no, i'm getting no surveys period

Zacharee1

hmm

contact them

Kaz Wolfe

i did

no response

Zacharee1

again

Kaz Wolfe

7:50 PM

i did. four times now

not a single response

Zacharee1

lol

welp

Now how does a new installation of 16.04 have a 13.10 repo added? askubuntu.com/questions/822257/…

Kaz Wolfe

i think it's because my demo answer wasn't serious

Zacharee1

maybe

juju maas openstack landscape

anybody an idea? stupid openstack...

Zanna

I dont think they used the dreaded -R

Please dupe it, easy to fix

Zacharee1

7:56 PM

dupe what

Zanna

In the man page for 7z it says under -r "this flag does not do what you think: do not use it"

Zacharee1

ah

Zanna

Chmod should have that too imo

Zacharee1

@user3892683 Can you fix the formatting for those code blocks at the end?

edwinksl

@Zanna why would OP say he can't use sudo anymore? that confused me

user3892683

7:59 PM

@Zacharee1 sure, I thought I did that, but turned out wrong. let me fix it

Zacharee1

@user3892683 use four spaces before every line

@edwinksl @Zanna the answer on that question is NAA

Zanna

Someone please flag Tony Lancer's dangerous comment as not constructive

He can't use sudo because the parent dir has no execute permission

Zacharee1

ahhhhhhhhh

but wait

doesn't bin have exec?

edwinksl

@TonyLancer if you use -R here you may as well reinstall, please read up! — Zanna 1 min ago

indeed

@Zacharee1 done

cross post and generic coding askubuntu.com/questions/822265/…

Zanna

@Zacharee1 no he made it 666

666 = r&w

Zacharee1

@Zanna but I thought that was just to usr

I thought he didn't run -R

Byte Commander

@Zanna evil!

Zanna

@Zacharee1 /usr is parent of /usr/bin/sudo

Zacharee1

@Zanna so every parent needs execute permissions?

Zanna

8:19 PM

YES

thank god steeldriver answered it

Zacharee1

Zacharee1

8:32 PM

@Zanna lolzies

@ByteCommander plenty of aircrack questions on Main

@ByteCommander Is that T-Mobile?

Byte Commander

@Zacharee1 Yes, all that T- stuff is Deutsche Telekom. Everything the same pink giant.

Zacharee1

Then I think the course of action is obvious :p

edwinksl

@Zanna then you know you have really RTFMed

what's interesting is that the first command in the substitution completes

Byte Commander

@Zanna Oh, you're right! Haven't noticed that yet...

pretty weird no?

Indeed

weird

I'm laughing at the comments in the completion script...

# For some reason completion functions are not invoked at all by
# bash (at least as of 4.1.7) after the command line contains an
# ampersand so we don't get a chance to deal with redirections
# containing them, but if we did, hopefully the below would also
# do the right thing with them...

what hope have we got if the devs don't understand it ?

edwinksl

9:36 PM

at least they are honest

i appreciate the occasional #omgwtfbbqidunnowhatisgoingon comment
