02:24:09 <MrMobodies> If it wasn't coincidence, what a new scam these shops are running

02:24:34 <MrMobodies> This bit: "She dug through the kitchen drawer for the receipt, found it folded beside the window where it had been sitting since the day she bought the thing, and the paper was blank"
02:25:25 <MrMobodies> That has never EVER happened to me before even with old recepts so I wonder what went wrong with that receipt to go blank.
02:26:27 <MrMobodies> Maybe it was on thermal paper and where she was keeping it was exposed to heat.

02:58:55 <steve30> I just switched my sony xperia on and it gave me an advert for the new Xperia 1 VIII
03:10:42 <Kuschelpony> lets call it Lego Ultimo https://dmse.mit.edu/news/researchers-reprogram-materials-by-quickly-rearranging-their-atoms/

03:43:26 * arch use magic alchemy powers to make mercury into gold and cause widespread worldwide inflation
05:11:41 Quit: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) Quit: Ex-Chat
05:32:40 <rc-garage> but how many currencies is still tied to gold?
08:11:22 <MrMobodies> "We can reprogram materials to create defects at will" Can that lead to sabotage one day I wonder?
08:12:27 <MrMobodies> Steve30 I still have that XA2 Phone with Linagos. One thing I am annoyed about, instead of CLOSE ALL, it has SCREENSHOT... Incredibly STUPID idea EVER!
08:13:14 <MrMobodies> I go there to manage and close windows, not take screenshots of it put there by those who think they know the users better than themselves
08:13:40 <MrMobodies> imagine if they did that with Windows, instead of the X bottom closing the window, it creates a screenshot.
08:13:53 <MrMobodies> oops button not bottom
08:14:12 <MrMobodies> I only use it to control the disco lighting
08:14:19 <MrMobodies> and remote control stuff
08:15:08 <MrMobodies> but still better than Sony stock room with that insulting magicians that use to appear, interfere and annoy and that swiftkey with the suggestions and predictice text that I couldn't turn off
08:16:04 <MrMobodies> Steve30, how is your Sony stock Android? Does magical figures appear and tell you how to do "things" better?
08:16:58 <MrMobodies> another thing i hate about that XA2 is the curved glass which causes issues with when typing with the change in shape
08:17:12 <MrMobodies> form over function but it was given to me
08:18:16 <steve30> seems to work fine
08:18:33 <steve30> i got rid of a lot of googley stuff though and use F-Droid
08:20:29 <MrMobodies> for some reason when I attempted to install another keyboard on the XA2, even copying it to the SDCARD it failed to install and even other keyboards in 2020. Not sure if there was a glitch or whether it was deliberate by Sony which is why I looked for another OS.
08:20:59 <MrMobodies> The original Google one, different versions that match the OS should install and work without question
08:26:13 <MrMobodies> When I type on keyboards and I see things taking up room above over the contents, displaying and changing characters as I type targetted at me by my input when I can spell fine and suggestions that just makes me emotional
08:26:29 <MrMobodies> emottionally angry, in that I think they think I am somewhat STUPID
08:27:09 <MrMobodies> if I couldn't spell then a little red think under it woule be helpful then I call for the spell checker
08:27:29 <MrMobodies> to be flashed up in my face as I type which distracts me and I find very insulting
08:27:59 <MrMobodies> big letters and words flashing up as I type like I am stupid and can't think
08:29:18 <MrMobodies> an option to turn all that off I think is a must and wouldn't think they are insulting me but being sincere.
08:29:55 <MrMobodies> imagine being forced into a wheelchair when you can walk.
08:30:16 <MrMobodies> and half restrains placed around you so you don't fall off the wheelchair
08:30:20 <MrMobodies> oops have not half
08:40:28 <MrMobodies> Managed to get this working
08:40:30 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/pWLC55m2/IMG-20260519-231855-DRO.jpg
08:40:55 <MrMobodies> Despite being from different manufacturer's both use the same remote control buttons
08:41:40 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/W226xq6b/IMG-20260519-231841-DRO.jpg

09:30:41 <MrMobodies> It' be nice if I could get it to work without one virtual machine per IP
