@SaintWacko Whatever it takes to enable tethering on my 3G Nexus 7

Probably going full cyanogen with tablet mode, probably not

Powerlord

My new monitors are supposed to arrive tomorrow.

badp

@Powerlord ...on a Saturday?

Powerlord

I find it weird that Amazon does Saturday deliveries.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@badp CM10 is... pretty much like stock Android, actually

Powerlord

@badp They said April 27th... last I checked, today is April 26th.

SaintWacko

14:01

@badp Tablet mode is wonderful. I use Paranoid Android, because I had some issues with CM10

badp

@SaintWacko I don't know how well it'll work on a 7' display. It might be really cramped up

SaintWacko

@badp It's perfect. I have a Nexus 7, remember?

badp

Okay.

I don't really care a lot about enabling tablet mode as much as I want to have a working wifi hotspot for the next few days, however

SaintWacko

Way easier to use the softkeys when they're in the corner instead of in the middle

badp

@SaintWacko that never gave me trouble honestly

SaintWacko

14:02

@badp I just have a wifi N7, so I use my phone

badp

@SaintWacko My dumbphone can tether over bluetooth but it craps itself up every 5 minutes and then you have to disassociate and reassociate it back

SaintWacko

Ah, that sucks

badp

and my Nexus 7 does HDSPA (-typo)

OrigamiRobot

@badp Are you rooting your phone/tablet?

SaintWacko

I use bluetooth to tether my phone to my N7

badp

14:04

@OrigamiRobot Likely

SaintWacko

But I have an S3, so a bit more designed to work together

OrigamiRobot

I should get around to that.

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot You'll kind of need to to flash a custom rom :P

OrigamiRobot

Every update adds 5 more undeletable apps that I'll never use.

@SaintWacko I am aware of what is going on.

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot Sorry, I thought that was @badp that said that

Just noticed it wasn't

But yeah, that's why I rooted my S3. Stupid undeletable carrier apps

badp

14:06

I only had trouble when downloading the USB drivers; I went headfirst in the amd64 folder of the zip file and my tunnel vision prevented me from noticing the .inf file I was leaving behind

so that wasn't fun.

SaintWacko

Within 10 minutes of getting home with it, it was running CM10

kalina

you keep saying N7 - I keep thinking Mass Effect

SaintWacko

@badp I'd recommend using the toolkit. Have you looked at that?

badp

@SaintWacko I have not.

This is the first time I'm ever doing this so I'm kind of going slowly and stumbling over the smallest things

OrigamiRobot

@SaintWacko I'm just lazy and don't want to have to redo my settings.

SaintWacko

14:08

@badp forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195

That makes things a lot easier

Does most of the stuff for you

badp

@SaintWacko ..."up to 4.2.1"

OrigamiRobot

Also, flashing firmware is scary.

SaintWacko

@badp Should still work

@OrigamiRobot The only scary part is flashing bootloaders

Everything else is recoverable

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@OrigamiRobot It's scary only in that in case of problems there's a minute chance you'd brick your device. The actual process is about as exciting as watching paint dry

SaintWacko

@YiJiang'sEvilClone And the only chance to brick is during the fraction of a second that it's writing new bootloaders

badp

14:11

@YiJiang'sEvilClone You spent at least a day doing that, didn't you.

SaintWacko

And unless you're going from 2.3 to 4.0, you don't have to flash bootloaders

OrigamiRobot

@YiJiang'sEvilClone That's what I mean.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@badp Yeah. In my defense that was the most exciting thing happening in the house that day

OrigamiRobot

@SaintWacko Still a pain.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

My stomach hasn't been treating me well this past week. Ugh.

OrigamiRobot

14:13

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I don't treat my stomach well.

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone when you stuff things like that KFC into it, I feel it would be fair to say you haven't been treating your stomach well this past week

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot What was a pain was when I softbricked my Galaxy S Captivate

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina That was a mistake which I'm still suffering from

SaintWacko

The button combos to get it into download mode quite working, so I had to take a hacksaw to a charging cable, cut it apart, and build a download mode jig to fix it -.-

kalina

A hacksaw? To a cable?

SaintWacko

14:14

Also, @OrigamiRobot, if you use Titanium Backup to backup your apps, you won't have to redo your settings

@kalina Yes

kalina

that must be a serious piece of cable

SaintWacko

Because I needed the microUSB end of it, and I needed access to the connection points of the usb

badp

@SaintWacko YiJ suggested Carbon because apparently it's the only one that can recover app data (like savefiles) when unroooted

SaintWacko

@kalina So I wasn't actually cutting through the cable, but through the middle of the microUSB end of it

@badp I haven't tried that one

When I started flashing and rooting, TiBu was really the only option

OrigamiRobot

@SaintWacko I mean my phone settings, not my app settings.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

14:16

@badp Carbon is also a lot simpler than Titanium

Titanium's UI is... obtuse

SaintWacko

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I'll have to check it out

@YiJiang'sEvilClone It is that

@OrigamiRobot Oh. Well, there are also a lot more settings in CM10/PA, so you'd be going through them anyways :P

Fluttershy

@Powerlord Some people think mail running on Saturdays is cray-cray.

OrigamiRobot

@SaintWacko Hence my laziness.

Powerlord

@Fluttershy Including the United States Post Office, which is getting rid of Saturday deliveries later this year.

Fluttershy

@Powerlord August, I think?

Powerlord

14:17

Also, 3 tries to spell "year" correctly makes Powerlord sad.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@Powerlord Ear... yaer... yare...

OrigamiRobot

@Powerlord What they need to get rid of is all the junk mail.

Tim Stone

@Powerlord Not anymore, they were cock-blocked by Congress.

Powerlord

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I typoed it as "yaer" then missed fixing the e when I edited it and got "yeer"

badp

Chrome 28 has a few UI changes

The new tab screen now no longer gives you the apps selection; it's just a bunch of tabs

The address bar autocomplete now extends across the whole width of the browser

Ben Brocka

14:20

@Powerlord sounds like too many baers

Sterno

RPS seems really fond of the new Star Trek game:

Star Trek: The Videogame, as it’s so enigmatically titled, is a steaming turd dropped from the ugliest bumhole in the world. It is a quite exceptionally terrible game, from its numbingly dreary repetition, useless broken AI, archaic combat, clumsy construction, and utter nothingness story.

OrigamiRobot

@SaintWacko Apparently I don't need to root my phone to install a custom rom.

badp

@SaintWacko The toolkit is whining because version 4.3.9 of the toolkit is out

Google is coming out empty however

are all versions between 4.0.0 and 4.3.9 donator only or something?

Powerlord

@Sterno In other words, it's an expansion to the Star Trek MMO?

SaintWacko

@badp It's kinda sounding like they went that way

Powerlord

14:22

(or should be)

SaintWacko

@badp Might also take a look at this one, if you have any trouble with that one

Powerlord

Honestly, I'm not sure why the USPS tried to cut Saturday delivery instead of Tuesday delivery, since Tuesday is statistically their slowest day.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@Powerlord Salaries might be higher on Saturdays?

badp

@SaintWacko Let's see how much they're asking for

Hurry, IE10.

Oh, it's pay what you want.

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot Really? Hm, what do you have?

Powerlord

14:24

> The Postal Service has said that while it would not pick up or deliver first-class mail, magazines and direct mail, it would continue to deliver packages and pharmaceutical drugs on Saturdays.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

My stomach is blaaaargh

Powerlord

So, for the most part Saturday deliveries are gone.

SaintWacko

@Powerlord Ah, good, it will continue to deliver packages and drugs

Powerlord

@SaintWacko Well, they have to (by law) continue to deliver something on Saturdays

OrigamiRobot

@SaintWacko Skyrocket

Powerlord

14:25

...because Congress forced them to continue Saturday deliveries but didn't say it had to be actual mail.

Oh well, if the Post Office gets into too much trouble, they could always look for Moist von Lipwig to take over.

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot Hm, I thought there was something that required root... Maybe the custom recovery?

fredley

SaintWacko

@Powerlord He'll need golem horses for long range delivery, though

OrigamiRobot

@SaintWacko Removing bloatware

So I'll still be rooting it.

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot Ah. the most important part, then

@YiJiang'sEvilClone No, not that juice.

@fredley Just pretend

kalina

@badp I want a refund, this juice is salty

badp

@kalina That's bytes for you

fredley

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@OrigamiRobot Is it premium, organic, 100% pure, sugar and artificial coloring free juice?

@kalina I was actually planing to rename myself that for the duration of the nine weeks

well fine

Q: Who are the Legendary Seven?

In Hyperdimension Neptunia V there are seven legendary heroes based on famous game developers. I'm fairly sure the first three are Toshiyuki Takahashi, Yuji Horii, and Hironobu Sakaguchi, and the sixth is Shigeru Miyamoto. Who are the other three?

Pretty much. I still don't understand the story. At all.

@kalina YOU SHOULD GO KILL 'EM AND MEET 'EM BUT NOT IN THAT ORDER

SaintWacko

When I used CM10, about once a month my tablet would get just completely borked, and I'd have to wipe it and start over

OrigamiRobot

FLCL involves a lady hitting men with guitars. Should be right up @kalina's alley.

SaintWacko

I don't know if that issue is still around, though

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@SaintWacko That's interesting. The worst I got was random SODs, which was annoying but tolerable

SaintWacko

15:07

@YiJiang'sEvilClone That's one of the things that I heard lots of complaints about, but I've only had it happen once

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

I get it quite frequently, almost one every day. The only consequence is that I have to restart the tablet, which takes about 30 seconds

And anyway the tablet was already experiencing frequent SODs before I switched to CM10

Powerlord

@OrigamiRobot What does that have to do with lighting people on fire?

OrigamiRobot

@Powerlord The 2nd episode is all about fire!

Powerlord

Gotta love documentation

Ben Brocka

@Powerlord there's a character VERY MUCH to do with setting things on fire

Powerlord

15:13

TF2_SetPlayerClass. So which is it, does the weapons argument need to be false in a PlayerSpawn hook or is it ignored?

Oh well, I'm adding a 0.1 second delay before giving them new weapons now anyway to try to fix the Huntsman having 26 arrows instead of 13.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@badp JavaScript's Date object has UTC functions. They just chose not to use them /facepalm

Also, their two pane dropdown menu is busted. Fixing that would take a lot of work, but thankfully Amazon has already done the hard work, and someone has reverse engineered the technique so they can just copy that

If you hover over the pink area in the main menu the submenu on the right changes instantly, so the intuitive red path won't get you to where you want

It's pretty confusing, and very annoying
