Seriously, Amazon?
$19.01 - clicks on link
$23.99 - uh..........
 
1:25 AM
what
 
IKR?
They can't even keep their own website consistent.
 
must've updated their profile on you
 
Why do they have CAD and CDN$?
 
More inconsistency, I guess.
So I bought a USB 3.0 PCIe card for my desktop.
No more suffering with USB 2.x speeds now :D
 
USB 4.0 releases

1:35 AM
A friend of mine moved and now has gigabit SFP to his desktop..
Needless to say I'm extremely jealous :P
oh and 500 up
 
boi
address?
 
@TheWanderer greater Tacoma area
 
no no no
I need specifics
 
you're asking me to dox my friend? haha no.
 
for that internet?
 
1:38 AM
eh?
 
I have a stupid story to tell.
Our ISP is rolling out fiber to our building.
But thanks to the CRTC, speeds are capped to 150 Mbps.
Government regulations are awesome, amirite? </sarcasm>
 
CRTC?
 
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC, French: Conseil de la radiodiffusion et des télécommunications canadiennes) is a public organisation in Canada with mandate as a regulatory agency for broadcasting and telecommunications. It was created in 1976 when it took over responsibility for regulating telecommunication carriers. Prior to 1976, it was known as the Canadian Radio and Television Commission, which was established in 1968 by the Parliament of Canada to replace the Board of Broadcast Governors. Its headquarters is located in the Central Building (Édifice central...
 
why are they limiting speeds?
 
The Canadian equivalent to the FCC if you will.
Because there are no other providers that can deliver more than 150 Mbps.
Therefore, it would be unfair if only one company was capable of this.
 
1:49 AM
wat
 
eyes roll back into my head at how stupid that logic is
 
that makes literally zero sense
 
that's not how innovation works
 
Welcome to government regulation.
 
like, that may be the stupidest thing I've hard this month?
o_O
 
1:49 AM
Probably.
It was the stupidest thing I'd heard in quite some time.
 
we don't have that in the US (because we've already naturally stagnated into monopolies and oligopolies)
on an unrelated note, Altered Carbon is amazing so far
it reminds me a lot of the Dark Matter universe
(I think it might even be roughly the same time)
 
pretty sure it is
 
2:17 AM
who takes showers wearing makeup?
 
actors
 
ah yes
some strong eyeliner tho
 
3:03 AM
I'm still mad at SyFy for cancelling Dark Matter
 
ya
was kinda strange since DM was probably a pretty cheap show to produce
 
really cheap by the props
 
@TheWanderer altered carbon is very bladerunner noir
 
apparently its slot was replaced with a Housewives-esque show?
 
and I think some not all of the changes from the books were good
 
3:05 AM
@JourneymanGeek yeah
@JourneymanGeek never read it
 
@JourneymanGeek it was based on books?
 
(I don't like what they did with falconer and what the envoys were, but what they did with the sister worked better)
@Seth ya.
 
@Seth Altered Carbon
 
TIL
 
also, they basically made it almost impossible to do the second book without major changes
(no spoilers! Cause so very vague)
@Seth that was half the charm
 
3:17 AM
fair
 
I think killjoys has maybe a season left

A almost colorless Ubuntu (!6.04) in VirtualBox
What can cause it?
Please tag my profile.
 
@user9303970 so... chat etiquette in many places isn't "I have a question, with no information, plz ping" - if you have a question, gather up the details and try the main site.
That could be anything from theme settings to alien mind probes.
 
Sadly as for now I can't publish a question. After 3 downvotes to my last question...
 
chat isn't a replacement for the main site then
Maybe look back and try to improve them?
 
It's not them it's one, and I think it's fine or shouldn't change.

Q: Reviewers strange behavior

karelThis question got closed because it was judged as a question about a bug in GIMP. The question was about a 4.8 MB .jpg file that rendered correctly in GIMP, but not when it was uploaded to the author's website. The .jpg file opened correctly in my GIMP and several other image applications. When I...

@JourneymanGeek yep, saw that now. But you know... " impossible to do the second book without major changes" - just made me think of the Eragon movie.

Q: set -x: tab completion messy output when working

user9303970I understand that set -x gets a Bash user into debug mode and I feel that working full time in debug mode will help me handle possible problems better in Bash.

@vidarlo Not sure if this is what you need, but have you trie the Bubble UPNP app for android? play.google.com/store/apps/…
I use that on my phone and that lets me cast from a mediatomb device (Linux) to my TV through either a chromecast or a generic dlna receiver.
It should also be able to cast to Kodi. You'd still need to set up the other devices to act as servers though.

10:21 PM
@JourneymanGeek you're right. Altered Carbon looks almost exactly like Bladerunner
it doesn't feel anything like it though
also @IanC does Portuguese seriously not have names for weekdays?
 
10:40 PM
@TheWanderer of course it has oO you mean because they just count the vast majority of them instead of naming them after old gods?
oh wait, domingo goes back to Latin dies Dominica (“day of the Lord”) – so there's also a god :)
 
are you Portuguese too?
I thought you were German
you are German >_>
but having Sunday, Twoday, Threeday, Fourday, Fiveday, Sixday, Saturday makes no sense
and to make it worse, you can just say "I'll see you Two"
 
@TheWanderer i am, just spent a year as an exchange student in brazil…
@TheWanderer but it's feminine! it's quite clear from the context…
 
sigh
 
@TheWanderer how does sunday, moonday, thor's day, wotan's day, … make any more sense?
 
they have names
numbers are confusing
and they might be based on Norse mythology, but they're not literally those words
and then Portuguese goes and makes two of the days named
 
10:55 PM
@TheWanderer well, at least you don't have to learn five new names with no apparent sense (as it is the case for English and German), provided you already know the ordinal numbers… ;P
 
but, like, if you're gonna mix the numbers with names, at least make Monday Oneday
 
Monday is the day of the week between Sunday and Tuesday. According to the international standard ISO 8601 it is the first day of the week. The name of Monday is derived from Old English Mōnandæg and Middle English Monenday, originally a translation of Latin dies lunae "day of the Moon". == Names == The names of the day of the week were coined in the Roman era, in Greek and Latin, in the case of Monday as ἡμέρᾱ Σελήνης, diēs Lūnae "day of the Moon". Most languages use terms either directly derived from these names, or loan-translations based on them. The English noun Monday derived sometime before...
 
exactly
 
> Historically, the Greco-Roman week began with Sunday (dies solis), and Monday (dies lunae) was the second day of the week.
 
yes, but it's inconsistent with the naming
 
10:58 PM
they just didn't have a thor lying around :D
and the moon wasn't so important as it seems
@TheWanderer it's getting funny when you start to count weekdays: “a segunda segunda-feira do mês” :)
 
got my phone back from LG!
 
now you have 6 months to find a new phone!
 
I'm hoping I can get another year out of it.
 
kek

There are lots of small (almost invisible) scratches all over the front glass and camera lens now though -.-
