01:09:09 <arch> how do you do fellow followers of abrahamic religions?
01:10:36 <Vampera> arch, degenerates like you belong on a cross.
01:10:43 <Vampera> unfortunately they don't make them strong enough for that...
01:11:00 <arch> =(
01:11:40 <K> adamantium cross needed
01:12:00 <arch> what about runite or dragon?
01:12:11 * arch steals K's gold trimmed rune armor set

01:12:17 <K> those do not exist
01:13:20 <arch> you don't exist

01:23:06 * arch runs away
01:24:14 <arch> basically their "poo" is their bark and other "armor". poop armor :o

03:22:33 <MrMobodies> I thought I found a WINNER
03:22:39 <MrMobodies> but then THIS happened

03:22:49 <MrMobodies> Inactive window dimming but it's worse
03:22:56 <MrMobodies> it FADES in and out and slows everything down
03:23:02 <MrMobodies> STUPID idea!
03:23:19 <MrMobodies> and very irritating for things to effectively flash
03:23:56 <MrMobodies> Can't find how to stop it doing that
03:24:02 <MrMobodies> On Ubuntu there is now
03:24:20 Quit: Nothing\ ([email protected]) Quit: Leaving
03:24:25 <MrMobodies> That's Debian Mate Livecd
03:25:00 <MrMobodies> I heard from someone it "helps" users focus
03:25:22 <MrMobodies> no I find it distracting and slows it down
03:25:42 <MrMobodies> Now to try Ubuntu Mate and see if it does it there
03:27:44 <MrMobodies> Nope but it's slower, bloated and has a stupid shadow

04:04:34 <MrMobodies> and seems to be looking promising
04:04:43 <MrMobodies> the inactive window dimming and the shadow
04:07:51 <MrMobodies> The packaged Firefox 128 has a lot of sh*t in it and needs a lot of work.

08:06:42 <MrMobodies> I'd like to try this

08:09:54 <MrMobodies> I can't removve that stupid bar and the inteference
08:10:03 <MrMobodies> and what absolutely takes the piss
08:11:10 <MrMobodies> I turn off updates in developer toos
08:11:11 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/x8SG1Lqh/IMG-20251009-220151-DRO.jpg

08:11:33 <MrMobodies> I hear a ringtone despite disabling them and volume off

08:11:50 <MrMobodies> Can't clear it
08:12:13 <MrMobodies> And notifications to disabled it greyed out
08:12:25 <MrMobodies> I am NOT in control of my own tablet
08:12:26 <MrMobodies> they are
08:12:50 <MrMobodies> "Advanced thinkers for the mass majority" Users = Stupid and confused.
08:13:45 <K> i have lineageos installed on a rpi4 and connected to my livingroom tv
08:13:47 <K> is ok
08:15:06 <MrMobodies> then there's the Galaxy setup notification thing, that'd appear sometimes, greyed out and when finishing it'd hang
08:19:04 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/qMGf0LzM/image.png
08:19:05 <EEVBot> [url] Image — Postimages | i.postimg.cc
08:19:13 <MrMobodies> Restart, click that does nothing
08:19:30 <MrMobodies> so now I have a notification that I can't clear as they greyed the clear button out for that
08:19:43 <MrMobodies> notice not only do they dim the background, they BLUR it
08:20:08 <MrMobodies> like the user is so stupid they get confused by things behind the dimming overlay
08:20:21 <MrMobodies> I hate everything about it
08:21:15 <MrMobodies> I remember in 2019, Windows 10 did that on the sign in screen, they put a blur over the picture and I had a few people ask me how to remove it, fortunately there was a setting and a few threads of people complaining about it
08:21:30 <MrMobodies> well that was after some update in May I think
08:22:19 <MrMobodies> an sd card came today so I can load Lineageos onto it and start install whenever. I am hoping I'd have some control other my viewing of things
08:27:53 <MrMobodies> Just found there is a setting for it in accessibility for Android but option not present
08:32:34 <MrMobodies> K, I once installed in on a Sony XA2 phone in 2020
08:32:38 <MrMobodies> It did wonders
08:32:54 <MrMobodies> Lineageos
08:33:46 <MrMobodies> No forced search suggestions, no predictive texting, no collection of words, no magician screen that'd intefere with what I am doing and tell me how to it better which it got wrong.
08:33:55 <MrMobodies> no swiftkey
08:34:13 <MrMobodies> but the curved screen of the Sony XA2 did make the keyboard difficult for me.
08:42:08 Join: Jack ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
08:43:59 <K> i use mine with tv remote, my somewhat ancient sony tv has this hdmi cec thing, and it actually works
08:54:53 <MrMobodies> that's nice
08:55:40 <MrMobodies> it's nice when the OS does what you tell it to do, without hindrance, harassment and suggestions
08:56:06 <MrMobodies> even if I make a mistake and I am wrong.
08:56:48 <MrMobodies> The lineageos on that Sony seemed to have fewer of the dimming overlays
08:57:20 <MrMobodies> i'd be using it for stuff if it wasn't for the curved glass but I sometimes use it to display the solar panel webpage
08:58:33 <MrMobodies> these companies are not happy that they spy on you, make money from ads, etc they had to micro manage the user in everything they do and force things upon them through changes from the updates.
08:59:10 <MrMobodies> I am not talking about webpages, installed apps from playstore, just things on that come with the tablet.
08:59:52 <MrMobodies> Spying is one thing and advertisements but at least make it comfortable for the user.
09:26:37 <MrMobodies> I got the wrong one
09:26:50 <MrMobodies> SMT-725 but there are different codenames and numbers
09:27:13 <MrMobodies> that one was for a SM-T720

20:44:35 <K> oy, rc-garage, the interwebs write that norvegians are concerned on what will happen if el cheato chip man does not get his nobel peace prize
20:44:42 <K> are you concerned too?
22:05:18 <rc-garage> uuuh, no?
22:05:27 <rc-garage> who knows, he might get it
22:06:37 <rc-garage> the list of people to choose from was done in...april, I think, so it would not be a thing for this year anyway.
22:24:58 Join: watcher ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
22:36:19 <K> ah.
22:36:28 <K> oy watch it
22:48:45 <watcher> Helo K
23:00:38 <rc-garage> hey person
23:01:23 <watcher> How you doinh rc-garage
23:01:45 <rc-garage> eh, yo know, it is friday. it should be good.
23:02:23 <rc-garage> but, i think we are going to mom in law, to probably eat tacos, and i am almost allergic to tacos, so i am not sure
23:02:36 <watcher> I friend of my aksed my to install a new infotaimnet system in his new second hand car
23:03:02 <watcher> rc-garage: How can you be almost allergic
23:04:21 <rc-garage> it just feels like it. the wife wanted tacos all the time, when she was pregnant, ao we had that too much, for almost 2 years, and... i just do not like them very moch any more
23:04:38 <rc-garage> so, infotainment, eh? anything interesting?
23:08:41 <watcher> I dont know yet. We will you to a local shop that is specialist in car audio and radio stuff.
23:08:57 <watcher> We will see what they have and he wants.
23:09:43 <watcher> I am a bit against chinees brands. So I hope we go for a known brand. Not that that is every thing now a days.
23:10:05 <rc-garage> will it integrate a lot with the car? or is it more like a standalone stereo thing? well, we will see
23:10:15 <watcher> I just dont want a chinees spyware rootkit radio
23:11:07 <watcher> I think standalone with andriod auto(motive) so you can integrate the phone and radio better in the car. And have better gps
23:11:23 <rc-garage> ok
23:11:41 <rc-garage> what car is it?
23:13:19 <watcher> Nissan Qashqai
23:13:50 <watcher> from more than 10 years ago
23:13:54 <rc-garage> I mean, be careful with some of them. I remember especially the vw from... not sure what year, but say 2001 to something, where aftermarket stereos would ie put 12v on the canbus, iIrc
23:14:59 <rc-garage> hm, a nissan interior fan destroyer. ok, that will be fun
23:16:06 <watcher> rc-garage: good to know. The shop where we will go is a good one here in the area. They know there stuff.
23:16:23 <watcher> It is just a too easy and fun job to pay some one to do.
23:18:05 <rc-garage> I do not think those have much going on like that. if it has the buttond on the wheel, and such, you probably need some kind of adapter, but... if that is not important, that can be ignored. but yeah, for extra points, if you have to go in under the dash, try to take pics of the fan, because he will need that at some point
23:19:51 <watcher> I will tell hem that
