[13:35:18] * exec democratically flings a shaken bottle of dank memes at TheMightyBuzzard
[13:35:19] * exec irreducibly prepares a systemd journal of flowers for TheMightyBuzzard
[13:35:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> oooh, dank memes

[13:35:35] * exec explicitly bitchslaps a shot of Uranus with bytram
[13:35:54] * TheMightyBuzzard thinks he wins with the dank memes
[13:36:03] * Bytram won't be sitting down for a while, it seems
[13:36:26] * Bytram is gonna get a new 'puter in a new days
[13:36:31] * cmn32480 thinks bytram might be into that kind of thing
[13:36:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> oooh, neato
[13:36:40] <cmn32480> spiffy!
[13:37:00] * Bytram is on his feet all day at work, sitting down is a rare treat... don';t wanna mess THAT up!
[13:37:08] <Bytram> hold on... see if I can find a link
[13:37:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> guess i should see if i can get the vm squared away for you and kuro then.
[13:37:34] <Bytram> btw, has win10 pro...
[13:37:41] <Bytram> would be MUCH obligedon getting a new VM
[13:37:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's okay as long as you can wipe it and install linux
[13:38:35] <Bytram> well, don';t want to lose any spoecial drivers or th activation key... maybe move p2v (physical to vbirt) -- have heard of it, but never done it.
[13:38:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> breaking your own boxes and having to fix them is the proper way to learn sysadminy stuff btw
[13:38:57] <cmn32480> activation key is based on the hardware... no "key" anymore
[13:39:04] <Bytram> relatedly, picked up a 1 TB SSD to rpelzce the spinny in my current lappy... not sure how to go about doing that, eiyther.
[13:39:39] <cmn32480> clone the drive
[13:40:07] <Bytram> like w/ clonezilla? and then just swap 'em?
[13:40:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> well if there's a second slot for another drive you just plug it in and use a bootable gparted-having usb image to clone it
[13:40:42] <cmn32480> there isn't... it'd ahve to be an external enclosure
[13:40:50] <Bytram> hrrrm... is a lappy... maybe pul the cd/dvd drive nd it'll fit there?
[13:40:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> gparted can handle most any of your cloning needs
[13:40:58] <Bytram> kewel
[13:41:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> well a lot of laptops have room for a second hdd. dunno bout yours though.
[13:41:17] <cmn32480> bytram - there isn't a second drive slot AFAIK in that model lappy
[13:41:28] <Bytram> 'preciate the info
[13:42:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> if not you'll need a usb to sata adapter to do the cloning then swap the drives out when yer done
[13:42:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> assuming your new drive is sata
[13:42:29] <cmn32480> unlkess you get the dell case that fits the CDROM slot...
[13:42:36] <cmn32480> I just looked at the other one of that model that I have here
[13:42:49] <Bytram> cmn32480++ thanky!
[13:42:49] <Bender> karma - cmn32480: 99
[13:43:32] <Bytram> I *think* this is the one: https://us.msi.com
[13:43:33] <upstart> ^ 03GS65 Stealth Thin (Intel 8th Gen) | Laptops - The best gaming laptop provider | MSI USA
[13:43:37] <cmn32480> somethign silimar to this
[13:43:38] <cmn32480> https://smile.amazon.com
[13:44:12] <Bytram> clicky
[13:45:28] <Bytram> interesting... so could run w/ both the new ssd and the old spinny?
[13:45:42] <cmn32480> note, that was just the first one that came up. there are plenty of them on the market apparently
[13:45:50] * cmn32480 has never looked before.
[13:45:52] <Bytram> k thx
[13:47:17] <Bytram> looks like there are different thicknesses avail... may have to pull the drive and measure to be sure.
[13:47:56] <cmn32480> ahhh.. .just guess... it gives it a sense of mystery
[13:48:17] <Bytram> why not both? ;)
[13:48:40] <Bytram> thi=s is what I am getting is called: "
[13:48:40] <Bytram> MSI GS65 Stealth THIN-050 15.6" Ultra Thin Bezel Gaming Laptop "
[13:49:01] <Bytram> Estimated Ship Date: 02/15/2019
[13:50:21] * Bytram notes he is getting a great discount on the new lappy... will cost just over $900 out-of-pocket
[13:51:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, last i looked (December) Dell had the best dollars for performance deals on $1-2k laptops
[13:52:16] <Bytram> lemme see if I can get better specs on the new guy
[13:52:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> if you're getting a discount that alters things though
[13:52:26] <Bytram> nod nod
[13:53:57] <Bytram> list: $2099... sale: $1699 cost-to-me: ~$910, tax included
[13:55:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, $2099 is WAY overpriced for that laptop but $910 is a pretty good deal.
[13:56:42] <Bytram> see the 4th column from the left on this page (the "THIN-050") https://us.msi.com
[13:56:42] <upstart> ^ 03GS65 Stealth Thin (Intel 8th Gen) | Laptops - The best gaming laptop provider | MSI USA
[13:56:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, i done checked it
[13:57:07] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard+
[13:57:10] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard+
[13:57:14] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard++
[13:57:14] <Bender> karma - themightybuzzard: 344
[13:57:26] * Bytram needs to klean his cbd
[13:58:12] <Bytram> main concern is how noisy it might get with the fans spinning up... OTOH, doubt I'll be taxing it all that much.
[13:59:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> here's the one TR got for his new company laptop over the holidays: https://www.dell.com
[13:59:14] <upstart> Error: Title is empty
[13:59:38] <Bytram> also has 3 x USB 3.1 Gen2 AND 1 x Thunderbolt 3 ports
[14:01:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> looks like you got a much better battery
[14:03:14] <Bytram> 82 WHr for me, nice.
[14:03:24] <Bytram> depends on how fast the lappy sucks that up, tho.
[14:04:13] <Bytram> mine's thinner, too. his: 25mm (just shy of 1 inch==25.4mm), mine is 0.69"
[14:04:22] <Bytram> nograp
[14:05:12] <Bytram> huh? no sd card slot?
[14:05:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, thinner wasn't one of the specs he cared about it.
[14:05:33] <Bytram> can always pick up an adapter, I 'spose
[14:05:37] <Bytram> nod nod
[14:06:06] <Bytram> his is also a 17-inch... mine is jsut 15-inch... /me likes the extra portability
[14:06:16] <Bytram> time ill tell
[14:06:21] <Bytram> *will tell
[14:06:40] <Bytram> expecting a phone call shortly... gtg
[14:06:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, i figured that made up the price difference between 1100 and 900 and the battery is just gravy
[14:06:53] <Bytram> thanks for all the input!
[14:06:54] <Bytram> lol
[14:07:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> since his company buys him a new one every 3-4 years and tasks him with disposing of the old one however he chooses, picking a good one is important.

[14:07:50] <Bytram> ok, really, gtg
[14:07:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm just an asshole as a hobby
[14:08:12] <Bytram> *chuckles*
