Does the phone home DLL require Chrome?
-
@Arantor Probably not but the massive sluggish pretend browser they built around Chrome, through which you buy/download/update games, does.

I had to take lunch to my son because the refrigerator at work died and he's too broke to buy lunch. As I was heading out, there were two police cars parked 2 or 3 doors down, and there was a woman in handcuffs in front of one of the cars. When I returned a few minutes later, she was not in sight (probably in the back of one of the cars), and one of the officers appeared to be taking a picture of a man's face with his phone. The man then turned around and lifted his shirt by the collar, presumably so the officer could see he didn't have any weapons tucked in his waistband, as I've seen on so many police videos. No idea what was going on, since I didn't stop or bother the officers while they were doing their job.

Except fill us with dread as to what non-organic chocolate is made of. Plastic or maybe quinoa.

status linux on surface up and running. Ended up with gnome on debian with surface kernel. Everything works except for camera and lightly touching the touchpad isn’t a single click. Stylus is technically a mouse but works well.
Now the great app replacement begins.

Found it! Works better than windows. I have to admit that I'm fairly impressed with how well linux is working out.
If only amazon made a kindle client for linux. Almost there but may it's time to get off amazon too.

Yeah, wine! Almost there but I suspect a browser component is missing so it can’t load the login page.
I just installed calibre and pull the books in from the kindle. Its more of a nice to have. I don’t read on the surface that often.
I need something for hand written notes and doodling now.
Problem is the iphone. Everything is well represented in the android ecosystem but ios is a bit of a desert when it comes to syncing with a linux desktop.

It was an attempt to get off google and microsoft. I'm too proud to go crawling back so I guess I'm going to throw something together with sticky tape and chewing gum.

Status: Train from Cologne was only () 50 minutes late when it departed, and my connecting train 25. So since the connecting train is late but not late enough, I’ll not make it.
Oh look, that’s all moot now anyway, there’s some suicidal people walking over the tracks now and between Bonn and Frankfurt all tracks are closed in both directions. “Federal police is informed.”Yeah, great. Just fucking squish them, alright? I wanna go home.
Probably won’t be back home before midnight. (ETA 21:30)

@topspin train announcement: in the dining car there’s complimentary drinks, cookies, and forms for reimbursements.
Well, that’s more than expected by now. Just give me the water, I’ll get reimbursed online.

Vvvhatt? You have internet while you are on train? What did go wrong that such an unheard of thing happens?
-
@BernieTheBernie when I’m back. I don’t know yet how much I’ll have to get reimbursed.
But yes, I got both mobile and WiFi right now.Status: Apparently the maximum reimbursement, on top of the train ticket price, for a taxi ride is 120€. Considering taking a taxi to maximize their losses.

There's only like 10 different games for the Switch.

It still costs 50 bucks for a 6 year old game, which itself is just a port of a 9 year old game.

I didn't say it's bad. Just that they haven't released a new Mario Kart game since 2014 and are still milking money out of it.

What are you doing with the phone on the toilet?
Are you using some video based artificial intelligence measuring your piss volume and flow pressure?

As I was going to flush it, I went to pick up the phone with the other hand and bumped it. Physics then intervened, as did Murphy.

Status: China is such a garbage country. I made the mistake of ordering something from an eBay seller there and should not be surprised. The cardboard they use for shipping boxes overseas is weaker than what we use for breakfast cereal. Product inside? Completely smashed. Since this asshole also has a circular return policy, I’m ready to use the eBay money back guarantee to get a full fucking refund. But God damn it, I shouldn’t have to. Why can’t the Chinese just not be stupid/crooked for a change?
