It's not really a hack, just a VB script

Q: Ubuntu don't render the window boundaries and top left corner correctly after sleep

Really I have no idea how this happened or how to describe it correctly. I think it started after an sudo apt upgrade, and every time I close the lid on my laptop and re-open the lid, this happens. It is pretty annoying and really appreciate if any one can help. Thanks

Nvidia really needs to fix this

If this were a Windows driver bug, it would be fixed in a day or two

WinEunuuchs2Unix

02:08

I don't think I'll ever use my nVidia GPU except for in Windows 8.1.... in Linux just the HD4000 Intel.

Android Dev

But, this is Linux, so they don't care about us :(

WinEunuuchs2Unix

What do you expect when a Windows game costs 100 bucks?

Android Dev

And Linus Torvalds doesn't like Nvidia either

WinEunuuchs2Unix

ie Mass Effect Andromeda

Linux doesn't like Ubuntu either, saw the video yesterday.

Android Dev

$100 for a game? That's ridiculous

For that price I could buy a brand new Win 7 Ultimate license off EBay

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

02:10

What really needs to happen is for a new graphics card producer to enter the market and kick Nvidia's butt

Android Dev

Or 16GB of RAM

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

Let's face it, Nvidia and AMD hold monopoly

Android Dev

Or a better CPU cooler

WinEunuuchs2Unix

The game offers a die cast model for 100 bucks or an RC model with camera for 300 bucks

Android Dev

WHAT? That's insane!

WinEunuuchs2Unix

02:11

And the game is made here in Edmonton where I live :D

Android Dev

Who the heck would pay that?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

The $300 RC 6 wheeler is sold out on Amazon and it's not released until Dec 2017.

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@AndroidDev hardcore gamers ?

Android Dev

I guess

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy yeah, but there's a reason why Intel is so behind them in the GPU market: it's essentially impossible to build a GPU without infringing on either of their patents

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Intel just release another suite of Vulkan drivers.

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

02:15

@AndroidDev hard to believe that in the last 20 years of computing nobody came up with other patents

WinEunuuchs2Unix

At the end of the day one must ask themselves "are we in the computer business or the patent business?"

Android Dev

forbes.com/sites/tiriasresearch/2016/12/06/…

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy --^

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Blackberry's stock price drop coincided with their lawsuits over patent infringements.

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@AndroidDev Read that. Just repeats same thing that i have said - two monopolies. Sure they hold tons of patents but I still can't believe there isn't a design that would be unique and not infringe on either company's patent

Seriously, something has to happen to the GPU market

userDepth

02:30

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy Why can't programmers make a startup for that ?

study micro devices

and rock on

That would be nice

@Lorenzo Hi

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

Who knows. Idea is good, but there's probably obstacles of sorts

userDepth

that avatarless of you make me wonder

WinEunuuchs2Unix

A GPU is nothing but a re-purposed CPU in the first place. Enhanced for floating point and memory transfers... The secret is a standard like Vulkan.

userDepth

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy What if Intel is waiting to get OpenCL to mature ?

so we can get CUDA cores

or maybe there are too few OpenCL programmers

RobotHumans

sup peeps

@WinEunuuchs2Unix llvm is where it's at. there's even an llvm compiler for the raspi gpu.

userDepth

02:34

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy see ya

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Then take OpenGL and make it more efficient

userDepth

;)

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I still think if the hardware and software companies coalesce around open standard Vulcan it will be best for all.

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

Rinzwind

hmm they do not support a lot of hardware :-P

Anwar

07:40

hmm. After reading the two messages, last para helped. it's kind of booting mechanism to replace EFI/UEFI thing i guess

they claimed that UEFI may contain backdoor. I wonder if there are any proof for that..

Rinzwind

All blobs contain backdoors :=)

But not all backdoors are bad.

Same as with those BIOS passwords. Yes you can set one and stop some noob trying to get into your machine but we all know there are generic passwords that always work. Is that a bad thing? Not really. Otherwise you would have to throw your computer in the bin if you forget the password.

Anwar

Um. News to me.

@BhargavRao And I don't see him saying that anywhere. Hmm, I guess we should talk about that :)

@BhargavRao I ended up deleting that because we got better answers.

That wireless indicator made me quite excited actually. It will be just a beginning. I plan to develop it much much more

TheXed

@terdon I wonder what part of Illinois Batman is from.

If it is somewhat close maybe I can confirm if he really is Bruce Wayne or not.

terdon

@TheXed Metropolis, of course.

No Gotham, sadly, but Metropolis is the same universe :P

TheXed

Metropolis is Southern IL, almost Kentucky, a good 8 hour drive...

It is a tiny little town....

I have never been there...but I have a friend that was born there...

terdon

@TheXed Named Clark, I hope.

TheXed

I guess more people live there then I thought....but still fairly small...compared to say...Chicago...

@terdon actually my friend is female...

and as far as I know she doesn't have any super human powers...

Did everyone get out to vote in their local elections today?

What were you voting for?

Mayors and such like?

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

things . . . now, i wish we only knew what things

I've an idea: #VoteForSerg

TheXed

yeah local politicians if their terms are up...(mayors, school boards, town/city officials) and new laws...and for us whether we build a new school building or not...

terdon

13:40

Um. I just read this in an article on the Guardian:

> In 2015, I failed a background check for a new job because, according to the NYPD, I hadn’t paid the ticket “I” had gotten for walking in a park in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn after hours, at 10pm. Now there was a misdemeanor on my record, and I had 60 days to clear it up if I wanted to keep the job, which meant trekking to lower Manhattan to criminal court.

You can get fined for walking in a park? WTF?

At 10 in the evening!?

Zanna

o.O

terdon

theguardian.com/us-news/2017/apr/03/…

Android Dev

Uuuuhmmm... well that's a new one

terdon

I mean, I'd heard of this weird "jaywalking" thing you guys have, but walking in the park?

Journeyman Geek

"after hours"

0_0

terdon

13:48

Yeah. 10pm is dinner time here FFS!

TheXed

@terdon you can get fined for flying drones in National Parks too...

Even though the FFA doesn't like it...

terdon

@TheXed That makes a certain amount of sense. Being fined for walking is absurd.

TheXed

as it isn't restricted air space....

terdon

Yeah, but it is supposed to be wild nature so having noisy things wizzing about isn't a very good idea.

TheXed

@terdon they aren't noisy...in fact that is part of the problem...you can't hear them before they are about to crash on your head...

terdon

13:52

Depend on the drone then, I guess. I've seen some noisy (cheap) ones.

TheXed

I think manufactures should have to put some kind of beeper on them so if they do fail the beeper starts going off so people can have an advanced warning from an object falling 400 feet directly on their head...

But that is my opinion, and like arm pits...it probably stinks...

Rinzwind

@terdon damn :D

terdon

@TheXed Agreed. But don't tell Nathan. :P

Android Dev

@terdon Well, on the other hand though, if there's a big sign saying "Closed after 10PM" and you jump over the fence or something... Now of course, I don't know any specifics here.

terdon

@AndroidDev That's breaking and entering, a whole different kettle of fish.

TheXed

13:57

@AndroidDev that would be trespassing... jumping over a fence is not breaking and entering...he didn't break anything in the scenario...

and you have to steal something for it to be breaking and entry...

Android Dev

@TheXed Right, the question becomes what kind of signage there was

TheXed

@AndroidDev the signage doesn't matter.... if there is a law on the books, and a person violates the law, ignorance is no excuse...

You don't have to be warned before you commit a crime...

terdon

@TheXed True, trespassing sounds right. IA very much NAL

Android Dev

Yes, that's true, but if there's no sign saying you can't enter past 10PM or something like that, then yes, that is absurd.

terdon

OK, so it isn't normal.

Reading the rest of the article it is also implied that this only happened because the person walking was black. Which makes only too much sense.

TheXed

14:01

@AndroidDev but we don't know if there is a sign or not.

Most of the parks around here are very vague and have signs that say they close at dusk...

Android Dev

@TheXed Right. Like I said, I don't know any specifics of this particular scenario ¯_(ツ)_/¯

TheXed

@AndroidDev so we can't assume that it is absurd...

Android Dev

@terdon jaywalking is dangerous

TheXed

@AndroidDev jay walking is indeed dangerous...but it is not immoral.

terdon

@AndroidDev Sorry, but that's absolute bull excrement. Crossing the road without looking while cars are coming is dangerous. Doing so if you've checked there are no cars around is not. Jaywalking, as I understand it, means crossing the road anywhere there's no zebra crossing and making that illegal is just silly.

Like making it illegal to jump off of high buildings.

A certain level of basic intelligence should be assumed.

Android Dev

14:07

Yeah, well, that's government for ya. No, I'm not justifying it....

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

Frankly , as a driver, I've mixed feelings about this. There's people all the time crossing road during traffic where speed limit is 45 miles per hour, just a few feed away from zebra. Like take 5 minutes to walk over there, you idiot

If I hit you because you were stupid , cops are going to think it's my fault, while it's really you who put "convenience" above safety

Android Dev

That too --^

terdon

@AndroidDev Well, no. That's a very specific government for ya. AFAIK, the vast majority of countries around the world have no such law, or even a term for it. Some do say you should use the crossing if one is within X meters of you, but that's about it.

TheXed

@terdon actually the definition of jaywalking in the US, is crossing the road where not permissible, or safe...

Android Dev

Jaywalking

Jaywalking occurs when a pedestrian crosses a roadway where regulations do not permit doing so. Examples include a pedestrian crossing between intersections without yielding to drivers and starting to cross a crosswalk at a signalized intersection without waiting for a permissive indication to be displayed. In the United States, state statutes generally reflect the Uniform Vehicle Code in requiring drivers to yield the right of way to pedestrians at crosswalks; at other locations, crossing pedestrians are either required to yield to drivers or, under some conditions, are prohibited from crossing...

TheXed

14:09

but we don't really have zebra stripes in our roads...that would just confuse american drivers...

terdon

@TheXed Yes, but as I understand, in many cases (states?) it isn't permissible to cross anywhere but at a crossing.

TheXed

Well state laws can be very different then federal laws...

Android Dev

@terdon --^

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

What also pisses me off is bicycles. Again, high speed road is no place for a person weighing under 200 pounds to argue for supremacy with 1.5 ton car. You can joke with law or people, but you can't joke with physics

terdon

@AndroidDev Yes, I know. That's what I said.

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy This is why the person always has priority over the motor vehicle irregardless of the scenario in the US.

@TheXed it does have priority, I don't deny that. But also person shouldn't coming close to potential danger, no ? Especially at high speed roads.

TheXed

Yes, and if they continue to walk out in traffic they are obviously very stupid...but if the same person is hit by a car, then the person driving that car should be charged, depending on the injuries. According to the law.

@TheWanderer you are using cp on your android again aren't you ?

TheWanderer

yehs

and it's doing the stupid thing again

where the destination path strips a folder

Think -vbf will help?

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy the real problem is, that the driver is driving a 2k lb+ vehicle and should be in control of it at all times...

irregardless of how stupid his surroundings are...

TheWanderer

IF_G5=$(printf '%s\n' "$1" | sed 's/G5//g')
echo "$IF_G5"
cp -vbf /data/media/0/Zacharee1Mods/"$1".apk /system/priv-app/"$IG_G5"/"$IF_G5".apk

that echoes what I'd expect

but it copies to /system/priv-app/"$IF_G5".apk

ignoring the folder

aha

why isn't the BusyBox version being used?

weird

well now I can at least debug it better
