[00:00:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> and to kick things but there just aren't that many handy SJWs in TN
[00:01:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> you remember when they invented the word manspreading?
[00:02:25] <BadCoderFinger> Oddly enough, I've never heard that word. I must be sheltered.
[00:03:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> eh, some feminist chick got pissed one day on the train cause i guy was sitting with his legs apart so as not to crush the boys and coined the term
[00:04:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> today another feminist comes along and says the term's sexist for not including women
[00:04:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> both of em totally serious. which makes me laugh quite a lot.
[00:07:00] <BadCoderFinger> Wow. Just wow. I can't believe people would be offended by biology, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
[00:08:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> 3rd gen feminists aren't about equality, they're about outrage and how much bank it can make them. 2nd gen were the ones about equality.
[00:09:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> well the organizers are anyway. the ones who follow them are just idiots.
[00:10:42] <BadCoderFinger> There are lots of people looking for a cause to follow.
[00:11:32] <BadCoderFinger> I can't blame them too much. I'd prefer to cultivate critical thinking skills.

[01:28:46] <chromas> Hey guys. I've been feeling a little confused lately. I prefer things stereotypically preferred by women more than men. Should I have my penis cut off and change my name?
[01:29:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, well i was going to suggest that anyway
[01:30:45] <chromas> Oh good. It's great to get a second opinion when I'm feeling usure if I should rush into surgury to make up for mental discomfort

[01:46:40] <takyon> hey launch to ISS will be streaming in 2 hours
[01:46:48] <takyon> we will post a link/story in 45 minutes
[01:47:53] <SpallsHurgenson> so what the hell is with google's logo? "Hey, our company is consistently growing and we have one of the most recognized logos in the world... so let's change it!"
[01:49:49] <SpallsHurgenson> did they hire some graphic designers from Dice or something?
[01:51:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> looks like someone in the art dept got bored
[01:51:17] <SpallsHurgenson> s/bored/needed to justify their position/
[01:52:58] <SpallsHurgenson> "our logo is simple, unique and recognizable; let's replace it with a flat pastel colored sans-serif logo that looks just like everyone else's!"
[02:07:09] <takyon> yup it looks dumb
[02:07:15] <takyon> did you guys see the long blog post about it?
[02:07:26] <SpallsHurgenson> well, that settles it; Google is wrong :)
[02:08:02] <takyon> https://design.google.com
[02:08:02] <SpallsHurgenson> no, but it wouldn't matter if I could; I'm completely illiterate
[02:08:02] <Schwifty> ^ 03Evolving the Google Identity - Articles - Google Design
[02:08:19] <takyon> i'll give you a free sample
[02:08:22] <takyon> "The Google G is directly derived from the logotype ‘G,’ but uses increased visual weight to stand up at small sizes and contexts where it needs to share space with other elements. Designed on the same grid as our product iconography, the circular shape was optically refined to prevent a visual “overbite” at the point where the circular form meets the crossbar. The color proportions convey the full spectrum of the logotype
[02:08:22] <takyon> and are sequenced to aid eye movement around the letterform."
[02:08:39] <takyon> "The Google dots are a dynamic and perpetually moving state of the logo. They represent Google’s intelligence at work and indicate when Google is working for you. We consider these unique, magic moments. A full range of expressions were developed including listening, thinking, replying, incomprehension, and confirmation. While their movements might seem spontaneous, their motion is rooted in consistent paths and timing, with the dot
[02:08:39] <takyon> s moving along geometric arcs and following a standard set of snappy easing curves."
[02:09:02] <takyon> it's not just bored artists, it's bored artists and marketers
[02:09:37] <SpallsHurgenson> tl;dr version: they said make a new logo, I goofed off until five minutes before it was due, made this quick piece of shit and now I'm trying to justify it with a lot of trendy marketspeak :)
[02:10:15] <takyon> no they have pics

[02:11:17] <takyon> much deliberation went into this

[02:14:12] <takyon> I already hate the new favicon for google searches
[02:15:23] <SpallsHurgenson> its usually not a good sign when a company starts messing with their corporate appearance :)

[03:04:16] <takyon> when you reenable it will the comments still be there
[03:04:41] <Ethanol-fueled> the comments can be read, but I deleted it.

[03:18:32] <SpallsHurgenson> I wonder if they make 1TB SSDs that could fit in there...
[03:18:57] <takyon> what could possibly be filling up space - media?
[03:19:11] <SpallsHurgenson> its not all porn!
[03:19:33] <takyon> all I'm saying is maybe you need an external hard drive, not a 1 TB SSD
[03:19:53] <takyon> you can get 5 TB for roughly $120
[03:20:20] <SpallsHurgenson> needs to be 7mm
[03:20:48] <takyon> what are you storing on it that takes up so much space if not video? games?

[04:25:39] <SirFinkus> My grandma called today, she complained that the reason her laptop came with windows 8 is because I told her that it doesn't matter (to her) whether she has an intel or amd processor
[04:25:51] <SirFinkus> she insists that it's because it doesn't have intel inside
[04:27:38] <takyon> new computers come with new OS
[04:27:46] <takyon> she's lucky she didn't get win10 on it instead
[04:28:32] <SirFinkus> is windows 8 really better?
[04:28:49] <takyon> beats me
[04:28:54] <SirFinkus> they've backported all the telemetry stuff to 7 and 8
[04:29:04] <takyon> you can kill the telemetry stuff
[04:29:12] <SirFinkus> you can still hold back the updates, but they're coming
[04:29:27] <takyon> win8 has optional UEFI and the updates aren't mandatory
[04:29:59] <SirFinkus> both really are irrelevant to my grandma
[04:30:03] <takyon> sure
[04:30:12] <takyon> what's the deal with microsoft scanning for pirated software? is that happening
[04:30:38] <SirFinkus> I don't think so yet, it says they can in their privacy policy
[04:30:53] <SirFinkus> Frankly, I think that's just going to be with their store apps
[04:31:00] <SpallsHurgenson> its a onedrive thing...
[04:31:01] <SirFinkus> I could be wrong though
[04:31:04] <chromas> They don't check for pirated windows
[04:31:12] <SpallsHurgenson> they want to make sure you aren't using your hosted space to share pirated goods
[04:31:39] <SirFinkus> nope, it specifically says that they can disable the apps if they want to
[04:31:44] <SirFinkus> which implies they're installed
[04:32:03] <SpallsHurgenson> win10 has three strikes against it: 1) awful interface, 2) spyware, 3) less control. even if they backport the spyware, 1 and 3 are deal-killers
[04:33:54] <SirFinkus> I actually like (parts of) the interface, but they fucked up badly organizing everything
[04:34:10] <SpallsHurgenson> I can't stand the flat look to everything
[04:34:11] <SirFinkus> 2 control panels is never acceptable
[04:34:21] <SirFinkus> I like the flat look

[05:26:31] <takyon> that's a lot of torque
[05:27:18] <takyon> is there anything stronger than CNTs yet?
[05:29:19] <SpallsHurgenson> neutronium
[05:29:30] <SpallsHurgenson> downside: you need to be on a neutron star
[05:29:43] <SpallsHurgenson> also, it's degenerate matter
[05:29:52] <SpallsHurgenson> so you need lots of disgusting porn to keep it happy
[05:30:13] <SirFinkus> oh good, I'm covered
[05:30:34] <takyon> so if you suddenly took the teaspoon of neutronium and moved it away from the neutron star, would it expand
[05:31:12] * SirFinkus just got an idea for a line of neutronium marital aids
[05:32:35] <SpallsHurgenson> apparently SirFinkus's mind is made of neutronium too :)

[10:04:58] <cmn32480> yes. yes I do
[10:05:10] <cmn32480> the whole thing is frustrating.
[10:05:34] <cmn32480> they are paying me to fix something, but the solution goes against corporate "standards", so they are likely not going to implement it
[10:06:47] <cmn32480> even thouhg I have implemented the solution at their sister company with great success, and almost zero capital investment beyond our time to fix their wifi
[10:09:07] <crutchy> the last thing you wanna do is fix everything. cos then they'll think they don't need you anymore
[10:09:40] <crutchy> whenever you go there, introduce some more bugs so that you have something to save them from next time :p
[10:11:50] <cmn32480> I jsut want it to work better... so they ahve to pay us for another trip to make it perfect. that is already in the plans.

[20:22:29] <FrogBlast> yup
[20:23:29] <FrogBlast> Ouch... Twitter layout has changed since I was an active participant.
[20:25:54] <cmn32480> I've never been a non-activve participant on twitter
[20:26:48] <FrogBlast> Since I participated in Soylent style stuff, I mean... before disappearing for months and months and contributing nothing.
[20:27:04] <cmn32480> we still love you, if that matters
[20:28:00] <cmn32480> the foundation put down by the really early staff are still holding the place up. and I don't think that anybody faults staff who have lives and need to disappear for a while
[20:30:11] <cmn32480> if you are looking for something to do, we could use another editor

[23:19:10] <SirFinkus> why the fuck
[23:19:43] <SirFinkus> whatever you think that black thing is, I assure you it's a smart idea than what it actually is
[23:20:48] <SirFinkus> *smarter
[23:21:12] <mechanicjay> is it just external speakers?
[23:21:27] <SirFinkus> nope
[23:21:30] <SirFinkus> another hint
[23:21:34] <SirFinkus> https://regmedia.co.uk
[23:21:47] <SirFinkus> think dumber
[23:22:04] <chromas> A battery
[23:22:16] <SirFinkus> https://regmedia.co.uk
[23:22:21] <SirFinkus> nope, dumber
[23:22:22] <chromas> cooling fan
[23:22:24] <mechanicjay> that would be pretty dumb...that 2nd shot looks like some sort of docking station
[23:22:27] <SirFinkus> almost
[23:22:31] <SirFinkus> chromas almost got it
[23:22:36] <SirFinkus> laptop is water cooled
[23:22:52] <SirFinkus> it's a water reservoir
[23:22:54] <mechanicjay> ....
[23:23:05] <chromas> Shouldn't that be built in?
[23:23:16] <chromas> put the pump where the second hdd goes :)
[23:23:17] <SirFinkus> DETACHABLE water reservoir
[23:23:23] <mechanicjay> okay, a water cooled laptop is a pretty dumb idea -- that you'd need a aux external water tank.
[23:23:32] <mechanicjay> yep, wtf indeed
[23:23:48] <SirFinkus> well, you wouldn't really have enough space inside to make water cooling work
[23:23:57] <SirFinkus> you actually need a fairly large heatsink
[23:24:12] <SirFinkus> in fact, that thing is probably too small to keep it running at full tilt for long
[23:24:17] <chromas> Radiator on the back of the display
[23:24:36] <chromas> And a little bicycle-style pedal setup to power it
[23:24:50] <SirFinkus> radiator on the front of the display
[23:25:02] <SirFinkus> only slightly less retarded than the idea of a water cooled laptop
[23:25:26] <SirFinkus> I can't think of a single use case for this
[23:25:41] <SirFinkus> big laptop might be handy for traveling, but try taking that shit on a plane
[23:26:13] <chromas> Yeah, they could just upgrade the shitty fan to something bigger than two inches
[23:26:19] <SirFinkus> or try even booking a plane ticket with the extra chromosomes required to buy the laptop in the first place
[23:27:27] <SirFinkus> if a single one of these gets sold, I'm devoting the rest of my life to getting the launch codes
