02:09:55 <Nothing\> hrm, ms flight sim's on sale for $35, i'm tempted
02:10:55 <Nothing\> LOL I got a trinket and propaganda from Falun Gong practioners
02:11:13 <Nothing\> it's scary and unsettling how much they've been infiltrating our society
02:11:24 Quit: steve30 ([email protected]) Quit: <Baljem> steve30: by the way, I had the most bizarre dream the other day that someone came in here and seriously flipped their shit over your quit message and why aren't the ops /doing/ something about it
02:12:00 <Nothing\> i even saw a poster for Shen Yun in my damn clinic. I wanted to tell them they're supporting a homophobic, antivax, anti-sciencecult that worships its leader as a literal god
02:12:05 <Nothing\> oh anti-woman too
02:12:25 <Nothing\> but none of their pamphlets mention that. Just compassion and tolerance
02:13:03 <Nothing\> anywho i need some basic chem advice when someone's about
02:13:30 <Nothing\> got some dirty chems i need to clean up somehow. I fear i need non-polar solvent
02:19:17 <Kuschelpony> what exactly do you need to cleanup?
02:54:08 <rc-garage> Nothing\, if they are anti woman, and anti anything else, just let them have their thing, they will die out soon enough
03:00:34 <MrMobodies> I wonder, Thames Water, in light of the high price rises, crumbling infrastructure they left and the bonuses they still continue to pay out.
03:00:37 <MrMobodies> https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/aug/14/thames-water-says-new-abingdon-reservoir-could-cost-bill-payers-up-to-75bn
03:00:37 <EEVBot> [url] Thames Water says new Abingdon reservoir could cost bill-payers up to £7.5bn | Thames Water | The Guardian | www.theguardian.com
03:01:00 <MrMobodies> Should they be trusted to survey the land and build a reservoir?
03:01:43 * electrohead places a potat on top of rc-garage
03:01:49 <MrMobodies> I have seen this pattern before where the costs just escalate. Also how do they know funding for it is not going to go to out in bonuses.
03:04:37 <MrMobodies> I am under the suspicion that they'd be using this plan to build a reservoir to more money for themselves and their bonuses now they made claims why the cost has increased.
03:06:44 <MrMobodies> or they'd take the money (from the figure they magically made up) to pay off their bonuses and dividends and underfund parts of it. Just like what happened in the mid 2000's about houses being built near the sea, they got flooded and the defences were found to be 1/4 of the size needed with hardly any funding fo rhtem.
03:08:48 <MrMobodies> Maybe they should look at giving the work to a trusted contractor or some other water company and there are a few that seem to be doing well and not banned from givng out bonuses.
03:09:21 <MrMobodies> There seems to be a new phising tecnique
03:10:07 <MrMobodies> but have always been there

03:11:05 <MrMobodies> Going to look at running those browser stuff under different accounts that restrict command line or running things from the open dialogue
03:11:33 <MrMobodies> if they can do that now and I'd think what can they do next.
03:12:31 <MrMobodies> Just realized that was not the Coates homepage. sometimes when I post something it takes me back to the home page where there are adverts.

05:51:41 <MrMobodies> Macrium Reflect LTCSC looks like it has now been released
05:51:47 <MrMobodies> and given a quote
05:52:38 <MrMobodies> whilst I wasn't charged for support and updates for the 6 momths (normally they do this) and it cost more due to the transition
05:53:03 <MrMobodies> I am disappointed it all came at the same time as I brought them many years ago at different time of the year
05:53:25 <MrMobodies> I hope the improvements will show to clone things like Ubuntu Studio
05:54:25 <MrMobodies> I found that Clonezilla can do this and if it doesn't do it correctly I'll request they do, something I'd expect from a commercial disc imager.
05:56:11 <MrMobodies> I see that LTSC releases will be based on 8.1
05:56:50 <MrMobodies> I just hope not to find something with a tiled interface that reminded me of Acronis in 2018
05:57:09 <MrMobodies> and refuse to do the utmost simple things when paid for

06:21:21 <Agripa3> Now I know why Tektronix had internal part numbers for lamps that they burned in.
06:22:15 <Agripa3> Replaced a grain of wheat bulb with a 28 volt one operating at 20 volts, and it died within hours.
06:22:34 <Agripa3> Now all of my 28 volt grain of wheat bulbs are on my power supply burning in.

07:53:05 <MrMobodies> Very useful part numbers. That once helped me when I couldn't find a keyboard for a HP laptop but one of the part numbers led to a keyboard for a different model but was exactly the same and fitted
07:54:08 <MrMobodies> look what i got from Amazon

07:54:57 <MrMobodies> the UI is worse than the adverts. I can't use it to discover things easily with the way I could before.
07:56:54 <MrMobodies> I want it list view with release date filters, not dumbed down to big tile/info hidden that shows in poppouts on mouse hover like it is some party surprise 'pick the lucky one'.
08:19:52 <MrMobodies> Surprise Surprise with a name that like "X" copied off twitter and i knew I'd find this:

10:32:27 <MrMobodies> Just noticed something

10:33:09 <MrMobodies> Minimum license quantity: 5 and I only have 3. Maybe they made an exception for me.
10:34:06 <MrMobodies> Who needs AI in a disc imaging software? Why I wonder?
10:34:36 <MrMobodies> unless it is do to ith forensics I could understand
