[15:52] <cjohnston> dholbach: UOS is going to be every 6 months now? |
|
[15:52] <dholbach> cjohnston, that's how I understood the discussion at UOS |
|
[15:53] <cjohnston> dholbach: I wasn't a part of it, so I'll trust that its accurate.. I just hadn't heard it yet |
|
[15:53] <dholbach> oops, wrong button |
|
[15:54] <cjohnston> oops |
|
[15:54] <dholbach> right... that should probably get into an announcement once the dates are agreed on |
|
[15:54] <cjohnston> dholbach: probably should request uos.ubuntu.com and do some work on uds.ubuntu.com to s/d/o |
|
[15:55] <dholbach> yes, I think I sent an RT for that - or at least mentioned it in a discussion with the webteam |
|
[15:55] <cjohnston> gotcha |
|
[17:04] <dholbach> all rightie... I'll call it a day - see you all tomorrow! |
|
[19:15] <philipballew> If I am buying laptop. Is a thinkpad usually always going to be a good bet, or am I better off with something else? |
|
[19:21] <popey> depends |
|
[19:21] <popey> generally yes, thinkpads are good for support, so are dell |
|
[19:23] <philipballew> i have always had dells,but I see a lot of thinkpads, so I figure they are a safe bet. Also for support as breaking things is a hobby of mine... |
|
[19:23] <philipballew> but I am not afraid of a dell again i guess. |
|
[19:26] <popey> the downside of thinkpads is that many of the new models have insane keyboards |
|
[19:26] <pleia2> yeah, makes switching between a thinkpad and... anything else brain explode |
|
[19:29] <pleia2> my hp elitebooks are nice, have the 9470m for work and bought the 850 G1 personally (blah blah disclaimer, you know my employer) |
|
[19:32] <popey> jcastro: tell philipballew how awesome the thinkpad keyboards are |
|
[19:32] <philipballew> I currently use my dell because it has a pointing stick :) |
|
[19:32] <pleia2> jcastro: where is the tilde/backtick again? ;) |
|
[19:32] <philipballew> or whatever slang people use for that term |
|
[19:32] <pleia2> so much rage |
|
[19:32] <popey> yeah, thats what keeps me on thinkpads |
|
[19:33] <pleia2> pfft, me elitebooks have them |
|
[19:34] <pleia2> I don't really care for them though |
|
[19:35] <philipballew> I am going to avoid a macbook though as that would make me a "hipster wannabee" |
|
[19:35] <czajkowski> aloha |
|
[19:35] <pleia2> they're also very expensive for what you get |
|
[19:36] <philipballew> unless you need to use osx |
|
[19:36] <jcastro> squiggly keys |
|
[19:36] <jcastro> I call them squiggly |
|
[19:37] <jcastro> but yes, thinkpad keyboards are the immaculate input device |
|
[19:37] <jcastro> well, some of them anyway |
|
[19:37] * philipballew currently uses a dell latitude. |
|
[19:38] <pleia2> my favorite thing about the new thinkpads is they figured out the right way to put the logo on the top (not upside down) and the glowing red light |
|
[19:38] <popey> finally! |
|
[19:38] <popey> have they figured that the battery light needs to face you, and not the person opposite? |
|
[19:38] <popey> never figured that out |
|
[19:39] <jcastro> the new thinkpad kb and touchpads are some of the worst devices ever made |
|
[19:39] <jcastro> they're pretty horrible |
|
[19:39] <jcastro> though lenovo says they're getting rid of them |
|
[19:39] <popey> oh!? |
|
[19:39] <popey> going back to the "Thinkpad Classic" keyboard? |
|
[19:39] <pleia2> that's good |
|
[19:40] * philipballew might take his chances and get one |
|
[19:40] <philipballew> its been 8 years with Dell |
|
[19:41] <philipballew> Cant people get used to any keyboard? |
|
[19:42] <pleia2> not me, I'm old and set in my ways |
|
[19:42] <pleia2> grump grump |
|
[19:42] <philipballew> Get off my lawn! |
|
[19:43] <mhall119> popey: you have a battery indicator facing you |
|
[19:43] <philipballew> yep, probably gonna try out the T series. |
|
[19:47] <philipballew> Being a linux foundation member gives me a discount! |
|
[19:47] <popey> mhall119: nope, the battery light only faces outwards |
|
[19:47] <philipballew> nice |
|
[19:48] <popey> no, the one in the gui on my ubuntu laptop doesn't count |
|
[19:48] <popey> because if my display is off (power saved) it makes _no_ sense to wake it up (eating more battery) just to check the battery life |
|
[19:49] <popey> http://socialsanta.co/user/ubuntu tsk tsk |
|
[19:49] <popey> bet that was jono |
|
[19:50] <mhall119> popey: obviously that site doesn't know that 'systemd' is profanity |
|
[19:50] <philipballew> popey, we can up that |
|
[19:51] <jono> popey, :-) |
|
[19:52] <mhall119> http://socialsanta.co/user/mhall119 not sure if I'm nice, or just don't use twitter enough |
|
[19:53] <popey> dont look at mine ⍨ |
|
[20:33] <jono> it turns out I am 11% nice |
|
[20:33] <jono> :-) |
|
[20:38] <elfy> it turns out it's a good job I don't do any of that social stuff ... |
|
[20:38] <elfy> evening jono et al |
|
[20:38] <jono> howdy elfy :-) |
|
[20:43] <skellat> Good afternoon jono |
|
