Diablo-D3: dub: actually a lot of
them stuck until
the end and got
their money back
dub: sure, just not
to
the people who bought at IPO
Diablo-D3: yet it paid out more
than was originally invested
Diablo-D3: but yeah,
the whole DMC
thing was hilarious
thestringpuller: did Diablo-D3 ever get around
to making
that 1mn dollar company
that would be
the end all
to mining datacenters?
decimation: it seems like it is a hell of alot better
than
the shit berners-lee put out
decimation: asciilifeform: lol. Yeah when I saw demos of genera, I
thought "wait, did
they invent hypertext
too"?
decimation: asciilifeform: have you
taken
the CADR verilog design published by Mr. Parker and run
them on your own chip?
decimation: he was probably in some air conditioned bunker "in
the field"
mircea_popescu: also check out what butchery i made of english in
that phrase!
mircea_popescu: it's gets enough very subtle
things exactly right for me
to call it an passible
teaching substitute for actual experience
decimation: in fact
the evidence we have is
that
they have
tried
to merge with usg since it became
thinkable
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, ever seen
the lives of others ?
decimation: it rings
the bell labeled "no escape" for all
to hear in us-land
decimation: it will be depressing
to watch google slowly merge into usg
Diablo-D3: because apparently bfl was a smart enough scammer
to "donate" a lot of money

mircea_popescu: TomServo> Where are all
the phones with hardware keyboards, is what I'd like
to know. << africa and my vaults.
mircea_popescu: there's going
to be little as amusing as "security practices" of
the 2010s freeranged interderp.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> know how we like
to laugh at our ancestors' hygiene ? << quite
this.
decimation: nevertheless
they are neat chips, I might buy a devkit soon
ben_vulpes: the sellnow nicks have already paraded
through
decimation: I was sad when I found you couldn't just edit in
text, you need
to use
the 'colorforth' gui
tool
decimation: ben_vulpes: I downloaded and played with some of
the arrayforth devkit stuff
ben_vulpes: (succ being something along
the lines of "next enum, plz")
TomServo: decimation: Hey cool
thanks, didn't know about
that one.
decimation: before
this one I actually had a nexus 4 (2013 model) for a month, dropped it from 18 inches and it cracked

thestringpuller: you mean
the phone's hardware can't keep up with
the updates?
ben_vulpes: i forgot i had any electronics on me, went romping
through a fountain, fried a legendarily high quality phone.
TomServo: Where are all
the phones with hardware keyboards, is what I'd like
to know.
ben_vulpes: or
the
technical savvy
to wipe
the
things, ibid
ben_vulpes: the only people happy with androids are
those with
the budget
to replace
them every 8 months
decimation: ben_vulpes: agreed, my android phone magically rots, even despite my attempts
to
trim shit
ben_vulpes: on android,
the users saw
their *own* feet off.
ben_vulpes: apple's done a decent job on
the software jailing, so
the phone operating system doesn't rot quite as quickly as its counterparts, so
they're forced
to release new "operating systems"
that consume ever more resources.
ben_vulpes: well she's on
the right
track. have you seen
technical incompetents
try
to use android phones?
decimation: imagine if ios/osx/windows had a new release
that was smaller
than
the previous
turd
ben_vulpes: there is iPhoto. it copies photos from
the i* pretty
trivially.
Diablo-D3: asciilifeform: so I had
to go and fucking copy
them out of
the DCIM folder on
the phone
Diablo-D3: asciilifeform:
they expect you
to use icloud for it independently of
the make backup
thing in itunes
Diablo-D3: asciilifeform: and itunes's UX is so insane
that
theres no way
to backup
the photos
Diablo-D3: so, out of
the box, your phone is broken
Diablo-D3: asciilifeform: I mean,
thats even
the bigger fucking problem
Diablo-D3: it was broken because it was full with a backup
that ios should have never
tried making
Diablo-D3: asciilifeform: because
the phone
tried
to backup
to 5gb of storage
Diablo-D3: asciilifeform:
the icloud storage was filled almost completely with an incomplete backup
ben_vulpes: jesus Diablo-D3 let a guy
tell a story ffs
Diablo-D3: asciilifeform: no,
tried
through
the itunes usb shit
too
Diablo-D3: ben_vulpes: best for display just selects
the correct scaled for retina
ben_vulpes: the displays system preference gives one
two radio buttons:
Diablo-D3: and
theres only about 12.3gb of usable storage on said 16gb phone
Diablo-D3: and
the fact you need 4.7gb of free storage on a 5c
to upgrade
to ios8
Diablo-D3: what fucked it up is all
this icloud shit
Diablo-D3: I went from having 0 experience with iphones
to fixing
them
Diablo-D3 just had
to rescue someone's fucked up ios8 upgrade on an iphone 5c
