[07:13:38] <FatPhil> The important thing is that now it's hard they're going to go through up to 3 unnecessary countries.
[07:21:53] <carny> that will give them more time to catch and spread the wuhan
[07:23:55] <FatPhil> yeah, it's win-win, if we can get them to wander all around the northern hemisphere, things will be just peachy
[07:24:34] <carny> see if you can get them to touch all the door handles and rub their eyes
[07:33:00] <FatPhil> we're natural doorknob lickers

[12:16:15] <AndyTheAbsurd> I work for a newspaper, and it's Tuesday, which is typically a small newspaper anyway, but we're down to just the "news" section and "classifieds" section in the physical paper, plus a special e-newspaper exclusive section for online readers.
[12:17:03] <AndyTheAbsurd> We're combining the "sports" section with "news" most days because there's not enough sports content to run even a small section.
[12:18:39] <inz> Here most sports news are about cancellation speculation
[12:21:55] <FatPhil> Did you ever see the BBC TV News "there is no news today" clip? It should be online somewhere, I'm sure.

[15:30:50] <Soybull> Oh, no, no tethering here, the wireless service is near nonexistent
[15:46:18] <FatPhil> yikes, that doesn't sound great at a time where netflix and amazon are most valuable.

[16:06:58] <FatPhil> so, anyone know anyone who actually has coronaids yet?
[16:08:25] <FatPhil> I indirectly (FOAF) know at least 2 now, possibly 3.
[16:08:58] <FatPhil> All part of known clusters, so it's not boomtime yet.

[19:24:10] <Sulla> Why are things switching from HDMI to displayport?
[19:25:37] <FatPhil> because only VGA will last forever
[19:27:59] <Sulla> None of my monitors at home had displayport, yet our new dell docs have two displayport and one hdmi
[19:28:17] <Sulla> So now have to buy displayport adapters

[19:32:34] <AndyTheAbsurd> I thought DisplayPort could be adapted to HDMI. But I'd have to check to be sure.
[19:33:43] <AndyTheAbsurd> Wikipedia states that yes, you can use a passive adapter to turn a DisplayPort connection into HDMI or DVI.
[19:44:22] <chromas> displayport doesn't have patents
[20:07:48] -!- mechanicjay has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[20:21:45] <Bytram> AndyTheAbsurd: Display Port *can* be adapted to HDMI; I am using it right now as I type this. ISTR the price was in the area of about $30... and that was not a special sale price or anything.
[20:22:23] <Bytram> Got one at Staples and another one at Best Buy; both have been working fine with no issues that I can tell.
[20:24:23] * Bytram is using a 43" UHD TV as a monitor. Unfortunately, current computers cannot push that resolution, but I do have one with a custom setup that gives me 2200x1200 pixels. =)

[20:35:16] <Sulla> Massive monitor, id get lost
[20:37:01] <Sulla> I found some on amazon for 8 bucks, will
[20:40:18] <Bytram> well, UHD (3840x2160) is basically 4 full-HD monitors (1920x1080) with no bezel in the way. =)
