The You Game!

[Hunchman801]

< hopes ^ enjoys ^'s new toy.

[Flat Earth Society]

< thanks ^, and < does enjoy it.

[PluMGMK]

< guesses it came with Windows pre-installed then?

< is printing their vaccine certificate

[Flat Earth Society]

< says it did came with Windows pre-installed. That's the case for most laptops to be honest.

< won't use it as often as Linux, but < < will keep it just in case.

[PluMGMK]

< can still boot in non UEFI mode on <'s B550 chipset so that part should still be good.

< did a bit of research and found this: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/11 ... s-by-2020/ – Intel were supposed to have deprecated it by now, but from what you said AMD didn't play ball!

< realizes that what < said earlier about int 13h is just exactly what booting in non-UEFI mode is! < realized that the reason DOS can't see <'s other hard drives is not that the BIOS isn't exposing them, it's that they all have GPT partitioning, so it probably sees them but thinks they're unformatted junk!

[Flat Earth Society]

< had no idea Intel planned to move to pure UEFI, < always utilized legacy to boot into Linux before.

[PluMGMK]

< guesses it makes sense, since emulating 40-year-old PC components is getting kinda ridiculous in this day and age Still, the processor itself starts in Real Mode, so…

< is finally gonna chuck that keyboard with the dodgy L key, since it decided to catastrophically fail in the middle of a game of Pinball tonight. Suddenly a bunch of keys got pressed out of nowhere, and it stopped responding to my actual keypresses at all. Two reboots later, and it responded, but with insane amounts of crosstalk (said L key now typed W, Num Lock pressed arrow keys, etc)… Well, it's been a good five years – looks like < will have to go keyboard shopping, since this stopgap is quite cumbersome and not suitable for gaming!

[Flat Earth Society]

< thinks it makes sense too.

< fixed <'s battery icon not showing on KDE. That wasn't complicated, but rather annoying.

[PluMGMK]

< had another bit flip affecting GCC – sounds like < should be ordering new RAM as well as a new keyboard

[Steo]

< forgets to update things sometimes, but then < has to rely on Python scripts where sometimes the actual source code can change, meaning some of these arguments will be invalid.

[PluMGMK]

< just realized that the "your argument is invalid" meme is like the really unhelpful "invalid argument" messages that utilities like mount give when some random syscall returns -EINVAL

< ran memtest86 on their PC and it passed, so now < is really confused

[Flat Earth Society]

< hopes ^ gets ^'s issue sorted out soon.

[PluMGMK]

< will probably never fix it, but it's easy enough to handle… Maybe it'll resolve itself!

[Steo]

< has been busy but < managed to do some work on Polokurse today.

[Xenon]

< is about to cook salmon and potatoes.

[PluMGMK]

< is glad to hear Polokurse is still progressing!

[Elite Piranha]

< is thankful for all the fan projects that give us something to look forward to.

[PluMGMK]

< still has to go download that demo of the Dreamer's Boundary that was released yesterday!

[The Jonster]

< will need to check out some of those fan games <self once today's over!
< also looks forward to seeing Polokurse when it eventually comes out.

[Xenon]

< also checked out the fanworks section recently, and was really impressed by the variety and quality of projects. < is so glad this site can host them.
