@Chippies THAT'S A LOT OF WORK FOR ME TO DO FOR SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T INCONVENIENCE ME AT ALL

ALSO THE AUTO-TOGGLING BASED ON WHAT WINDOW IS ACTIVE DOESN'T PLAY NICE WITH RDP

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot I figured as much. Just saying there are options if someone savvy decided to do it for you perhaps :>

Origami Robot

@Chippies FEEL FREE

Chippies

I suppose I could do it... since I'm procrastinating all day anyway

Wipqozn

@Chippies I made him a script to turn everything to lower case and he was too lazy to install it.

Origami Robot

@Wipqozn I DID INSTALL IT

AS BEST I KNEW HOW BASED ON THE ZERO INSTRUCTIONS YOU GAVE ME

Chippies

17:03

@Wipqozn with autohotkey you don't have to install anything, just run it

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot I was far too lazy to give you instructions.

Origami Robot

Wipqozn

Personally I enjoy @OrigamiAutoCad. It's funny imagining he's yelling everything.

@OrigamiRobot I remember this now.

Origami Robot

@Wipqozn IT DIDN'T WORK. I PROBABLY USED THE WRONG KIND OF PAPER

Jason Berkan

@OrigamiRobot You need to get into software testing.

Wipqozn

17:05

@JasonBerkan He'd be a total pro.

Jason Berkan

Thinking outside the box gets you promoted.

Wipqozn

I'd just run it via the console. Right click -> inspect element -> console -> copy paste enter

Origami Robot

@JasonBerkan I WILL THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX ONLY IF INSTRUCTED TO.

Wipqozn

The other option would be to hook it up as a plug-in, and enable/disable it, but that would be work.

What browser do you use at work @OrigamiRobot?

Origami Robot

@Wipqozn CAN'T YOU SEE I'M TRYING TO PLUG IT IN IN THAT PICTURE?

Wipqozn

17:07

@OrigamiRobot My bad!

Origami Robot

I'M NOT USING MY WORK BROWSER.

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot Nice watch.

Origami Robot

@GraceNote THANKS, BUT I GOT A NEW ONE RECENTLY

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot I see.

Wipqozn

Sometimes I feel like buying a watch since that are quite fancy, but then I remember they cost money and I'm cheap.

I used to wear a watch all the time, but eventually stopped.

You can tell it's classy software because it's Shareware that you can register by mail. Just like Doom!

Tim Stone

I like my kinetic watch, but I had to stop wearing it while working (which has caused me not to wear it at all recently) because it started bruising my wrist, heh.

Grace Note

17:15

@OrigamiRobot Nice!

@Sterno I dunno about you, but checking a wrist is infinitely easier to me than plucking a phone out of a pocket/purse and turning it on.

Origami Robot

@Sterno I DON'T HAVE TO REACH IN MY POCKET TO SEE MY WATCH AND I CAN'T WEAR MY PHONE ON MY WRIST.

FAE

@kalina The guys that founded Runic left Blizzard earlier than that, back in 2003 to form Flagship Studios.

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot if you have autohotkey installed here's the script https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33649730/capslock.ahk
if not, here's a compiled .exe https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33649730/capslock.exe

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Of course you can, just get a strap.

Also I usually have a pocket in my shirt I keep my phone in. Easy access.

Sterno

@GraceNote I'm willing to not have to buy and wear a watch for the 2% of the times in my life that I want to know the time and there is not a clock or a computer screen with the time within a head swivel

Origami Robot

@GraceNote THIS IS THE WHOLE THING

Sterno

In that 2%, I can reach into my pocket and pull out the phone.

Are there any good articles on how much SSDs impact gaming related performance? Best I've found is this tomshardware.com/reviews/ssd-gaming-performance,2991-14.html

Grace Note

@Sterno I mostly like them for travel purposes - anytime else, I have clocks readily available. Also? Ticking is soothing.

Chippies

17:17

@BenBrocka as far as I know, SSD does not impact gaming performance whatsoever, just the load times

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot So slick

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot popular.ebay.com/wrist-watch-phone

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot Part of me figures you may or may not be interested in Resonance of Fate.

FAE

@BenBrocka Mostly just load times improve.

Chippies

although it can help in games where levels are streamed in, instead of having load screens

Origami Robot

17:18

@GraceNote AND SINCE I'VE BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO THE WEIGHT, NOT WEARING A WATCH FEELS OFF.

Ben Brocka

@Chippies "performance" as in load times and save times not graphics or anything

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot My brother has said that on occasion, I believe.

FAE

I wear cheap digital watches.

badp

@Chippies "just"

FAE

Usually from WalMart.

Origami Robot

17:19

ALSO, MECHANICAL WATCHES ARE JUST COOL.

FAE

Because I'm afraid to break something fancier than that.

Wipqozn

also I'd need to take the watch off whenever I wash my hands. That was always annoying.

FAE

@Wipqozn Most are water resistant, even mechanical ones.

Grace Note

@Wipqozn I wear mine loose enough that it can slide high enough up to not be an issue there.

Chippies

well, I have an SSD and load times are maybe like 2-3 times faster

depending on the game

Origami Robot

17:20

@Wipqozn I NEVER TAKE OFF MY WATCH WHEN WASHING MY HANDS

GnomeSlice

@FAE I have this problem too.

Wipqozn

@GraceNote when I wash my hands I usually wash all the way up to my elbows.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Weirdo.

Grace Note

That's washing your arms, dude.

MBraedley

@Wipqozn Most watches these days are at least 10 Atm. water resistant.

Wipqozn

17:20

@GraceNote I know. Like @GnomeSlice said, I'm a weirdo.

Origami Robot

THIS WATCH IS GOOD FOR UP TO 50 METERS

FAE

@GnomeSlice When I lived at home with my parents, I worked on the driving range they owned, so I'd be on tractors a lot picking up golf balls, carrying them in, washing them, doing other manual work, so I needed something that could tell me the time but also wouldn't like... shatter if I accidentally banged my wrist against a tractor body.

Chippies

Watches are annoying, they always wiggle all over the place and turn the wrong way. /skinnypeopleproblems

FAE

@Chippies Adjustable bands!

GnomeSlice

@FAE Yeah, sounds reasonable of you

MBraedley

17:21

Actually, what I said is wrong. Most are at least 1.5 Atm. water resistant

Chippies

@FAE but the watch itself digs into my wrist if it's tight and it's uncomfortable

FAE

@Chippies Hm. Leather bands?

Ben Brocka

@Chippies 2-3 times faster would be worth it I suppose. I swear Dishonored seems to load much faster on quickload but I'd need to actually time it to be sure

Chippies

@FAE wrist is probably not the right word for what I meant... the other side of the arm, opposite to wrist...

FAE

@Chippies Oh wait, the watch body you mean, on top?

Origami Robot

17:22

@Chippies I LIKE MY WATCH TO BE TIGHT ENOUGH TO LEAVE MARKS

Chippies

yeah, the watch body

badp

When you don't have a watch on your wrists, you can use "What's the time" as a shitty ice breaker!

especially when you're dealing with the kind of person who answers that question by showing you their watch. At an angle.

Ben Brocka

Marks are why I stopped wearing watches. That and that I don't actually use them

FAE

I'm late a lot, so watches are handy for me.

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot DID YOU TRY THE SCRIPT?

Ben Brocka

17:24

Are you a magical rabbit?

FAE

@BenBrocka ...maybe

badp

@FAE When I'm late for a train or something I just look once at the phone, see how many minutes I have and just count it down in my head :P

Origami Robot

I WANT THIS WATCH

FAE

@badp I purposely keep my watches and clocks at home a few minutes ahead so it's more likely I'll be on time.

badp

...at an approximate pace of 1 step/second which usually is an underestimate anyway

MBraedley

17:25

@OrigamiRobot I want to be able to afford that watch

Origami Robot

@MBraedley THAT TOO

badp

@FAE my mother does that but it wouldn't work for me because I would know I do that

FAE

@badp I do too, but it's mostly important for waking up.

Origami Robot

@FAE THIS WOULD NEVER WORK FOR ME BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S SET WRONG AND SPEND TIME DOING THE MATH

WHICH WOULD REALLY JUST DISTRACT ME FROM WHATEVER I'M TRYING TO BE ON TIME ABOUT

badp

That process only worked once in June and July at the end of my high school because I set a particular watch one hour ahead in, like, March so I had the time to forget about my schemes.

Chippies

17:26

@FAE my mom used to do that and we all just added the extra minutes into the calculation, thus negating the effect

badp

so, late in the night, I would look at it and say, "shit! 3am! Let's go to bed"

Origami Robot

@Chippies NO NOT YET I AM LAZY

FAE

@Chippies I usually only keep it a few minutes ahead, like 3-5.

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot OH OKAY THEN.

Jason Berkan

I stopped wearing a watch when I started carrying a device that could tell me the time. Why have two things that do the same thing?

FAE

17:27

It works for quick glances when I'm stressed out and in a hurry.

@Sterno I DON'T HAVE TO REACH IN MY POCKET TO SEE MY WATCH AND I CAN'T WEAR MY PHONE ON MY WRIST.

FAE

@OrigamiRobot This, especially if your phone's locked.

Sterno

The man doesn't even have time to hit CAPS LOCK.

Ben Brocka

@FAE work clocks do this and I hate it (because they work off the always-wrong timeclock...clock)

Jason Berkan

@OrigamiRobot SORRY I WAS WORKING!

Unionhawk

17:28

I FOR ONE AM USUALLY ENTERTAINED BY THE PAPERBOT'S CAPS LOCK

tombull89

WHY SO MUCH CAPS LOCK

Ben Brocka

I just go by my PC/phone time, delicious NTP

Chippies

@FAE don't phones have a clock on the lock screen?

Wipqozn

@FAE The trick is to just never be in a hurry. Or never be stressed. Or be able to magically teleport to places instantly.

GUYS KEEP IT DOWN I'M TRYING TO WORK

Origami Robot

@Sterno NOT WHEN I SWITCH BACK AND FORTH LIKE ONCE A MINUTE

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME

badp

different people have different solutions for different needs and people who are wrong are allowed to be as wrong as they would like

FAE

@Chippies True, but a lot of times once I get outside, the brightness is too low for me to see it, so then I'd have to unlock anyway to turn it up.

Wipqozn

@badp Yeah, people who do things differently than me are wrong, I agree.

Sterno

17:29

YOU SHOULD JUST BECOME PROFICIENT AT HOLDING SHIFT WHILE YOU TYPE

FAE

@Wipqozn I'm not good at this. I'm kind of a chronically late person.

Origami Robot

I ALWAYS END UP TYPING IN THE WRONG PLACE IN THE WRONG CASE SO I JUST GAVE UP INSTEAD OF RETYPING EVERYTHING A MILLION TIMES

badp

@FAE Looking at the time slows you down and makes you even more late!

FAE

@badp Only if it's with my phone. On my wrist, I can glance as I'm walking easier.

GnomeSlice

Pixel Pikmin?

Chippies

17:30

@FAE don't you have a button or something that turns the screen on on the lock screen? I haven't had a phone in a while...

badp

@FAE You're still distracted by the watch!

if you're checking it every minute or so

Unionhawk

You can still look at a watch more easily than a phone, generally

Frank

@Sterno Watches are one of the few pieces of bling a guy can actually wear.

YES, I'M LATE! I KNOW!

FAE

@Chippies The power button turns the screen on, but if it's too sunny out, I can't see the time properly, which means I have to then unlock the phone to turn the brightness up, which takes more time.

Unionhawk

Unless you're one of those people who carries their phone in their hand

Sterno

17:31

LIFEHACK: Wear a watch so that you don't have to waste 1 extra second pulling out your phone.

14

badp

@FAE auto-brightness?

Chippies

@FAE ah, I'm used to phones having max brightness at all times, so I didn't think of that

Sterno

@Frank You open up extra possibilities if you become a rapper.

FAE

@badp I usually keep mine on lowest because I'm in the house a lot.

Frank

@Sterno That's not classy at all.

Ben Brocka

17:31

@Sterno I do this because I disable capslock because I hate it

badp

@FAE that's what autobrightness usually does too, yes.

FAE

@Frank Guys can wear necklaces/bracelets/rings too.

Unionhawk

I am now imagining @Frank as a rapper... I... wat

Ben Brocka

@Sterno this is literally the main marketing point of most smartwatches

badp

@Unionhawk The mental image is pretty glorious.

Sterno

17:32

@BenBrocka I'm so in the habit of doing this that recently when I needed to type a bunch of stuff in all caps, hitting the caps lock key didn't even occur to me until I was done.

Frank

@FAE Yeah, but it doesn't look nearly as good.

Chippies

even in the house I prefer max brightness. My laptop, my ancient phone that I don't use, everything must have max brightness

Wipqozn

@Sterno hahahahaha

FAE

@badp It'll shift based on the room light levels.

Wipqozn

That's great. GG @Sterno.

Chippies

17:32

what's the point of it if I don't use it TO THE MAX?

FAE

@Frank Depends on the guy!

badp

@FAE does it bother you? It doesn't bother me. :)

Frank

@FAE I have a necklace, but it's super simple. Just a string with a dragon on it.

Sterno

I don't even like the look of women wearing bling.

FAE

@badp It does, yes.

Sterno

17:33

Bling is meh

badp

@Sterno WHAT YOU DON'T WEAR CHANDELIERS ON YOUR EARS?!?!?!
