[02:01:41] <chromas> I just installed Thunderbird to figure out how to configure it for someone. Sho' is ugly. They took away the menu bar and stuff, although it's re-enableable

[02:50:15] <Bytram> chromas: thanks to your comment here, I happened to look at my install and discovered there is a newer version available... thanks!
[02:50:41] <chromas> You're not using emacs?
[02:50:54] <Bytram> I am, but not for mail
[02:51:11] <chromas> wasn't that its original purpose?
[02:51:21] <chromas> or was it printer drivers?
[02:51:29] <Bytram> eight megabytes and constantly swapping
[02:51:39] <Bytram> it was inspired by a non-free printer driver.
[02:51:47] <chromas> Ah, Windows
[02:52:01] <Bytram> yep
[02:53:05] <Bytram> for the time being; got a couple dell latitude e6410s for $25 each, but came w/o hard drive or hard drive bay cover (which is needed in order to be able to install a drive)
[02:53:23] <chromas> use linuc
[02:53:24] <chromas> x
[02:53:30] <chromas> you can just run it off a thumb drive
[02:54:14] <Bytram> My Dell Latitutde E6400 runs win 7 pro x64 on a core 2 duo and I put in a Samsung EVO 860 1TB SSD
[02:55:22] <Bytram> so, now I'm debating whether to stay consistent and get 2 more 1TB drives (about $129 each) or cheap out with 2 x ~500GB drives at about $80 each
[02:56:02] <Bytram> IIUC, these are TLC and not QLC, so have better durability than some of the newer and cheaper SSDs that are coming out.
[02:57:49] <chromas> Go with the SSDs so you can swing them around while you use 'em

[02:59:16] <Bytram> all of the drives I mentioned were SSDs
[02:59:20] <chromas> [scraping intensifies]
[02:59:38] <chromas> ah, I misread I guess
[03:01:13] <Bytram> Well, to you credit, I was not explicit when I mentioned the ~500 GB drives... but at least *I* knew what I meant!! ;)
[03:01:52] <chromas> Those are the ones I thought were SSDs, then I assumed the bigger one was the sinny drive
[03:02:04] <chromas> or ones I guess
[03:02:15] <chromas> where ones == two
[03:02:58] <Bytram> originally had a WD black 7200 RPM 500GB drive, updated early this spring to 1 TB Samsung EVO 860 SSD

[11:27:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> well, TR's boy stayed up too late playing vidya and couldn't be arsed to go fishing this morning, so i'm foregoing the hour and change drive to the TN river for flathead this morning.
[11:28:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> instead i have a morning of ass sitting and vidya playing planned.
[12:11:22] <chromas> Bonerlands 3?
[12:11:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> naw, grim dawn at the moment. borderlands 3 when i get around to getting a new video card.
[12:13:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> thinking a radeon rx 460 if i can still find them when i feel like spending the money.
[12:13:17] <chromas> I keep seeing grim dawn go on sale. is it good?
[12:13:54] <chromas> looks like maybe a better diablo than d3
[12:14:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> diablo 2 but better mechanics, better graphics, worse voice acting, worse music.
[12:14:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> i like the hell out of it
[12:15:06] <chromas> might have to grab it sometime then
[12:16:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> $58 right now with all the dlc
[12:17:38] <chromas> are there a lot of dlcs?
[12:17:56] <chromas> the base game often goes under $8
[12:18:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> five of em if you insist on the steam loyalty ones as well. two expansions.
[12:18:35] <chromas> matt uelmen did the torchlight (2) music but I don't think it's as good as the d2 musics
[12:18:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'pretty good but yeah
[12:19:10] <chromas> I think this laptop needs a smake
[12:19:23] * TheMightyBuzzard currently has the music turned off and the entire beatles discography on shuffle
[12:19:30] <chromas> graphics get all glitchy and it locks up. I wonder if it has a loose booger
[12:19:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> heat maybe. take it apart and clean it
[12:20:23] <chromas> used to be it would do that if I moved it a bit, especially picking it up right after unplugging
[12:20:31] <chromas> now it just does it sometimes. pretty clean
[12:20:45] <chromas> it's a Dell though, so
[12:21:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> spinning rust?
[12:21:45] <chromas> yep
[12:21:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's generally the only thing that's going to shit itself from motion, yep
[12:22:14] <chromas> I was hoping I'd find a loose cable or something but no
[12:22:24] <chromas> maybe a crack
[12:22:33] * chromas pulls its pants up
[12:22:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> ssd ftw
[12:23:01] <chromas> oh wait I played grim dawn a while back during a free weekend
[12:23:07] <chromas> it ran decent in wine
[12:23:34] <chromas> only did a couple missions though
[12:24:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> annoyingly large amount of content if you're trying to level a new character
[12:24:37] <chromas> even though epic games is a butt, they have free games every week
[12:24:52] <chromas> this week is batman arkham and lego batman games. better get 'em
[12:25:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> wasn't arkham absolute shit on pc?
[12:25:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> like buggy as nine kinds of hell?
[12:25:35] <chromas> when it was new. it got better
[12:26:01] <chromas> the newest one. never played the older ones on pc though
[12:26:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> nicotine time, back in a few
[12:26:19] <chromas> oh yeah. lenovo
[12:26:23] <chromas> denuvo
[12:26:31] <chromas> whatever; shitty drm
[12:27:28] <chromas> my friend recently bought a house with all the fixins. the fridge has wifi
[12:27:53] <chromas> I think it can tell you when the water filter needs changing. the filters are drmed I think
[12:28:42] <chromas> what's good for the lexmark is good for the ge I s'pose

[12:37:28] <chromas> that's not a wink; it's an eye patch
[12:38:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> i need a new one of them. the strap on mine is stretched out.
[12:38:48] <chromas> hm. epic store already paid for borderlands 3. I guess that means I should go grab it for free

[12:39:38] <Bender> Quote 800 - <FatPhil> that's probably because you're playing with your genitives at the time. don't you know that's impolite.
[12:39:44] <chromas> do they still have straps?
[12:40:02] <chromas> I figured they'd be strapless like those sunglasses

[23:54:08] <AzumaHazuki> gtk3 being constipated and slow doesn't help
[23:54:27] <AzumaHazuki> xfce 4.14 is probably the best showing gtk3 is ever going to have and even there things look a bit weird...
