Spring has arrived:

That Brazilian Guy

@Hennes Autumn was supposed to arrived here, but Summer just refuses to go away...

Hennes

could be worse. Not all that many nights ago I needed to scrape ice of windows

That Brazilian Guy

@Hennes Wanna trade?

At least you can put more and more clothes.

I can't remove my skin (not without dying, anyway)

Hennes

Some more heat and the ladies will be putting on less clothes.

That Brazilian Guy

@Hennes And I'll be so dehydrated I won't care (also, married) ;p

But, yeah, if you're a tourist at the beach then summer is nice

If you're a salaried worker stuck in traffic where 95% of buses have no friggin goddam air conditioners, not quite so.

(BTW, durin summer is not unheard of for 39~40 degrees with termal sensation of 42~46 or even more)

Hennes

5:37 PM

Huh, busses never have airco, neither do most trains.

Nor do most houses

nor do most older cars (and I dount more than half of new ones)

That Brazilian Guy

So, yeah, after a few ~~years~~ decades of that (and getiting worse, thanks ~~obama~~ global warming), I'd happily trade for a deadly cold air, for a change

Hennes

Even though airco is great in the winter, so your windows do not fog up.

That Brazilian Guy

@Hennes Maybe where you live. Here they're supposed to have.

It's unhealthy and brutal that they don't

Can you envision yourself stuck for literally hours in a slow traffic, during rush hour, hotter than 30 degrees outside at 7PM, a crowded bus seriously over its capacity, and no air con?

jokerdino

that's every day life in my city.

That Brazilian Guy

Luckily I've always lived in places where people usually go to work, and worked in places where usually there's people going to / from, so I'm constantly looking at heavy traffic from my window :P

So I get the heat but usually for about 45 ~60 min

But I really hate the heat, so much that since January I've been spending double the amount with transportation, taking the subway just for its A/C.

the sound on my laptop is funny

in firefox

I have tried everything I know almost

its crackly and keeps slowing down

@CMDEmu Use IE

I uninstalled it

!!sarcasm

6:55 PM

But yeah, trying other browsers is a step in troubleshooting.

@CMDEmu Do the issue disappears in other browsers? Is it firefox-only?

CMDEmu

yeah but it adds to the bloat

not sure ill try chrome

its fine in vlc and wmp

no it does in chrome too

its fine on other computers though

Unrelated to the current conversation, I seem to have a problem with the official Flash repo:

@ThatBrazilianGuy what serg said in the comments feels about right

CMDEmu

might have fixed it

knowing my luck the stupid f will start playing up again soon

so ill have to wait

That Brazilian Guy

@JourneymanGeek Ok, then how can I download the binary for 11.2.202.577 but the repo apparently is stuck at 11.2.202.569?

CMDEmu

seems it was the "intel display audio" driver conflicting with another audio driver

drivers are so old fationed

I hate them

Michael Frank

@CMDEmu What would you propose we use instead?

CMDEmu

no it started again

Michael Frank

7:18 PM

@ThatBrazilianGuy Maybe nobody bothered to update the repo? Flash support for Linux was killed like 2 years ago

anyone ever attempt to use a laptop as a wifi repeater?

@JourneymanGeek A "known good" version of flash?!?!

Is that like a "known good" version of syphillis?

Journeyman Geek

@Mokubai better the devil you know...

That Brazilian Guy

@JourneymanGeek No, they stuck with a known bad version!

Journeyman Geek

Well, I suppose they are all bad...

That Brazilian Guy

@JourneymanGeek Well, I guess they're bad as in "flash is full of holes", but a recently-released Flash is less worse than an older one, I guess

sigh Nice thing about micron - they do the next best thing to rejection letters. They update job statuses on their webpage

but god, seriously, how hard does it need to be to get an interview in this town...

DavidPostill

It doesn't help when recruiters:
1/ Don't read your CV
2/ Match it on buzzwords and send the job spec anyway
3/ Screw up matching the buzzwords and send a job spec that you don't have experience for
I hate recruiters and job hunting.

tereško

@MichaelFrank be grateful - ubuntu is attracting all the stupid users

Journeyman Geek

@DavidPostill mostly outward on my part

but the sort of work I'd prefer seems rare, and the sort of stuff I'd settle for seems to get no response.

tereško

btw, was to a job interview today

I probably will get the job offered and will have to take it (I am almost out of cash)

Journeyman Geek

8:22 PM

heh, if you have a job, you have options :(

@DavidPostill Only recruiters I've actually had contacted me were from the big G 2 years ago

and I think I've mentioned, their setup's not very clear about whether you're still in consideration for a job or if the role is filled

they basically let you apply for a role not more than once in 3 months

Sorry about whining about this. Its just a pain, and I got lucky (with finding a job) the last time

and most of the places the guy I was talking to suggested he could hook me up with have no roles that fit at all

tereško

8:41 PM

judging by your profile, you don't seem incompetent

@JourneymanGeek I'm only moaning myself because I'm in the same position.

@tereško that's why not getting interviews is galling.

Its not "I've screwed up an interview"

tereško

8:57 PM

maybe you are getting blocked at HR, because of "no certificates" bullshit

could be

That's what I thought. Just heard a colleague refer to it as the Windows Pearl and had to do a double take ha

@MichaelFrank your colleague is dumb

Michael Frank

@tereško Well he's certainly not that...

you probably could somehow sneak your SU profile in the CV

that could help

I did!

kerbalspacebecky

@MichaelFrank Err, I dunno?

Michael Frank

Anyone game enough for that?

kerbalspacebecky

There's some sort of highly sensitive capacitive sensor in there that can tell when the port has liquid in it, or when your finger is within an inch or two without touching it

It's fucking freaky, but also fucking cool

Basically, the charging port has force touch and hover touch -_-

lol

@DavidPostill derp

Also there's a safety device on most of those, little clip and key, that would stop that from happening ;p

I already tried a VM, but it seems Hyper-V machines won't let me use personalization stuff

Thanks!

Michael Frank

Speaking of Hyper-V. Does it always put your host machine on the Virtual Switch? Or did I misconfigure something when I was playing around.

Ben N

It does, if you do the thing that lets the guests connect to the real network

At least it did for me, and I don't see a way to stop that

Journeyman Geek

bridging?

Ben N

Oh, it's called External network on the Virtual Switch Properties

There's also a checkbox called Allow management operating system to share this network adapter

Maybe unchecking that will remove you from the switch?

Michael Frank

@BenN I'll give it a shot when I get home.

Like I said, I was just playing around with it, as I had never used Hyper-V before.

Ben N

10:46 PM

@MichaelFrank Oops, that doesn't do it - unchecking the box breaks the host's Internet connection (!)

Michael Frank

@BenN Actually... I tried that. Because that's how I found out my host was attached to the V-Switch.

Bob

lol

I just left for work, else I could've checked

I do have a vmware vm with win8 enterprise at work

Michael Frank

@Bob Ben ran into issues with a Hyper-V machine not allowing personalisation options. I wonder if VMWare would be the same?

kerbalspacebecky

VMWare is never the same

bwDraco

11:13 PM

@MichaelFrank The virtual switch needs to be configured before you start the VM.

Hyper-V doesn't automatically create one for you.

I've had all sorts of issues with the Hyper-V virtual switch in the past. Be prepared to have to remove and recreate it once in a while.

Nick

hardwarerecs.stackexchange.com/q/2462/2194

Michael Frank

@bwDraco I know that.

I didn't know that it moved my host onto the switch as well.

Nick

Guys, I want to set up this system.Does the tech I require exist?

Ben N

@Nick I doubt you're going to get a 2500m radius access point for cheap, but I could be proven wrong

A company I know paid $600 for a low-end enterprise AP and it gets a range of 50m at best

Nick

@BenN I doubt it it too. I plan on doing much better than that company though. How does Project Loon do it? I'm not averse to building stuff or spending years to figuring out a solution.

Ben N

11:23 PM

Oh, it uses LTE

google.com/loon/how/#tab=equipment

Sadly, that's outside my area of knowledge

kerbalspacebecky

@BenN It all depends on the conditions

A $5 router can easily do several km with line of sight and a satellite dish.

With a pair of $100 antennas you could be looking at 30km+

Course, soon as you involve walls, even the most expensive router in the world won't do more than 1m of solid concrete, not because it's anything to do with the router but because transmit power is limited by law

Bob

@BenN Windows 8 (not 8.1) has Fill/Fit/Stretch/Tile/Center in VMware.

Journeyman Geek

@Nick mesh network, or clever experimental use of strainers as directional antenna

Bob

@kerbalspacebecky Is the problem more the concrete or the steel reinforcement mesh inside?

Journeyman Geek

11:39 PM

@Bob or the spacing of the mesh

Michael Frank

What about the dead bodies hidden within the suspiciously thick concrete walls?

Assuming it was Wolverine, cause metal bones etc.
