@adiwan Somewhere probably a year ago you were looking for a laptop with some sort of keyboard, what keyboard type were you trying to avoid again ?
Wednesday, 21-Sep-16 19:15:44 UTC from web-
@adiwan As do I, But I have not even looked at laptops since 2008 or so. ... Got a name on that keyboard type BTW ?
-
@critialcloudkicker I don't know the name.
-
@adiwan Aw, darn. Anyway, allow me to explain in short. My dad wants a laptop, I said he could have my old one as is since that is pretty much what he needs, and I could use a more powerfull one anyway. ( One that does not stutter when I try to play something on YouTube while having a word processor open would be nice ). I sorta stumbled on https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/475752/lenovo-ideapad-y700-15isk-(80nv00hmmh)/specificaties/ ( specs tab is opened ) and for apples and giggles started to compare it to different ones. the comparison to this one is what poked my funnybone https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/432483/asus-republic-of-gamers-g551jm-cn120h/specificaties/ ... Litteral embodiment of "more for less" when I look at CPU and GPU alone.

I wish Marvel didn't poop out so many "events". Civil War II is killing Ms Marvel for me and the event creeps up into her comic series. Later this year a new "event" is announced that involves Inhumans vs X-Men. If this makes into her own comic (because she's technically an Inhuman) I'm thinking about canceling my subscription to the Ms Marvel series.

@critialcloudkicker It boils down to money and greed. More event crossovers, more comics, more purchases! People want to follow what their favorite hero does!! They NEED to buy all of the extra comics to understand what's going on!!! I don't mind small scale crossovers like the one The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and Howard The Duck did a couple of months ago. It lasted two issues. Quick, painless, fun.
-
@adiwan Then I take it is not worth looking at the things for the sake of continuety ?
-
@critialcloudkicker There are comic book review sites that talk about what happens in the events. Reading the reviews is enough to get the gist of it. Civil War II is a clusterFrankerZ. An Inhuman named Ulysses has the ability to see a very probable future and the heroes struggle/fight about the use of his abilities to prevent the crime from being happening and jailing the criminals before the crime has been committed. It lacks the nuances of this problem/opportunity.

I just watched Kick Ass 1 and 2, and I am left wondering. So many plotholes. For instance Hit Girl at the end claims she killed 5 guys with a police firearm and the police does not like vigelantes. Ehmm, wait, did she shoot guns at all in this movie ?
Tuesday, 20-Sep-16 19:55:22 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker ... I meant the 2nd movie, she definatly shot things in the first.

I wonder how hard it would be to create some sort of button with an alarm with a delay of 8 hours. The catch ? Making one without using any sort of embedded system.
Tuesday, 20-Sep-16 11:03:19 UTC from web-
@adiwan Well if I wanted it to look boring but effective I could go with a 555 timer, a counter, and a buzzer circuit alone. But if I wanted to do that I would at least want the button to reset the counter everytime I press it and be able to turn it off with just as much ease... Wait now I am being a dumbass because I can just use a rocker-switch to get that in 1 go.
-
@critialcloudkicker I'd do that very boringly with a micro controller, a button, and a buzzer.
-
@adiwan Hmmyeah, but I want it to be either really fancy, or really few components. And using any sort of SoC to achieve that is somewhat a nuclear option.
Unless if you want to make an achmed joke.

I honestly wonder if it is more stable and fun than Pokemon Go is right nowFriday, 16-Sep-16 23:53:24 UTC from web-
@mushi Hmm *searches up specifications*, nope. Seems like you got screwed by the 9/11 update.
-
@critialcloudkicker it could be, i remeber 9/11 was the last day i could play it
-
@mushi Yeah, thought so, allow me to break it down. Basically what is plagueing Pokemon Go is a whole lot of spoofers and cheaters, so trying to combat that they employed a software 'guard'. This software called SafetyNet is a crude piece of software that checks for root-access, but I doubt that part is what is causing the game not to work for you. What I think is the main killer for your phone is that it only has 1 gig of memory, and I think trying to get SafetyNet and Pokemon Go and all the other stuff in the background is just a bit too much for your phone.
I really doubt that dropping your phone multiple times will cause things like games to suddenly stop working.

It certainly was fun to go to Hellheim and spit in Helya's face in this new Legion expansion. But why they did not just call it Hellgard and 'Hel, daughter of Loki' is beyond me.

About 5 years ago I think I read something about a wireless computer, which was basically a backplate on which you could throw bricks like a monitor, a GPU, a CPU, battery pack and/or power supply, not sure if this was a concept or a working thing at the time. Does anyone know the name of this thing ? Kinda looking for it

My main computer one day decided to come out of hibernation without LAN, turns out I had an error code 10 on it ( device could not start ). I tried reinstalling my OS to no avail so I brought it to the shop for warranty. 2 days later I get a phonecall where they tell me that it just worked when they hooked it up... ...What could have been the issue with it in the first place ?

"My phone flashlight shines further than your phone flashlight" ... Gawd I humored you with the Olight X18 versus Q250. But wow, just wow. Why do you even care ?
Wednesday, 31-Aug-16 22:37:26 UTC from web -
A friend of mine shined his Q250 flashlight in my face to demonstrate to me how bright it was. Afterwards he did spend like 10 minutes bragging about how it was the best flashlight ever whilst I was still having the ghost of that flashlight in my eyes. Today I got him back using my Olight X18. I won that armsrace. ... Turns out that there are a lot of advertisements of the Q250 flashlight on the Dutch interwebs that make it seem like it'll be an illegal product sooner rather than later because it is too bright. All I can do is laugh at the people who are not even willing to do 1 minute research to find out that most things on the internet are absolutely full of unrefined manure, enjoy your overpriced overhyped flashlight I guess :+

I need 2 DDR / StepMania "controllers" for PC. Now I could buy 2 from Shanghai for a grand total of 28 Euro. Or from a local store for a grand total of 60 Euro. And knowing how great the quality is of some chinese knockoffs I have bought over the years, I am leaning towards the idea of buying them from a local store. Also note that I am cleverishly leaving out my wheight, which can also be considdered a factor.

I just had a conversation with someone about evolution regarding it's core principles. But when your conversation partner tells you something like "Nature controls evolution". Yeah, you might be dealing with someone who has heard the bells, but has no idea where the sound came from... Which is a Dutch proverb, and I have no idea what the English one is.

Why are there people who do not know their ABC's ? Seriously. I just had to spell out an e-mail adress over a bad phone line, so I began spelling Delta Echo November Kilo Tango Alpha November Kilo, when I hear on the other side "Hold up, how do you spell echo" ?

@critialcloudkicker You can install Outcast within a virtual machine. Luckily the game doesn't require 3D acceleration.

@adiwan Cool. I might give that a swing then. Provided my backlog and list of chores runs out before the remake has been made :+

@critialcloudkicker I use weechat over ssh normally, but I use HexChat on my laptop if I can't do that.

I'm pleasantly surprised that a Outcast remake was announced. As much as I like the original it felt really clunky back then and it aged very poorly.
Saturday, 20-Aug-16 07:36:52 UTC from web-
@adiwan It has been on my backlog since September 1999. Probably just going to wait for the remake now then.
