The carrier supplied one is almost always gimped. 18:43 < RangerZ> thats why I've stuck with Virgin Mobile 18:43 < RangerZ> theirs isn't bad at all 18:44 < RangerZ> only 'crap ware' is some social media stuff through Virgin, but you never have to open it, so its not too bad at all compared to the others 18:45 < RangerZ> aestetix: hope your water/power doesn't go out completely 18:45 < RangerZ> that fire could fuck over san fran pretty badly 18:47 <@oddball> Oh, most of the main carriers tend to gimp the tethering, and ATT does random shit like disable the built in radio. Honestly, I've never used it (in part, you tend to have to use wired earphones), but it just bugs me. 18:47 < RangerZ> ahh, its not gimped at all, 'broken' yes... but not gimped 18:48 < RangerZ> HTC EVO 4G just doesn't have great drivers anywhere 18:48 < RangerZ> i swear... if I could mandate ONE thing, it would be BIOS on phones, with unlocked bootloaders mandated 18:48 <@oddball> Really? I thought Cyanogen supported that phone pretty well. 18:49 < RangerZ> it does, haven't moved to it yet , kinda been lazy honestly 18:49 < RangerZ> I never really need the tethering, so I never bothered with it 18:49 <@oddball> And talking about drivers that suck... the bluetooth drivers that Samsung shipped with the Galaxy I didn't handle the bluetooth stack properly, causing it to not be able to voice dial or answer via bluetooth device button press. 18:50 <@oddball> Ah. Yeah... I've found tethering to be damn nice when travelling. Been in a lot of hotels that still charge for wifi, or their wifi just sucks. 18:52 < RangerZ> yeah 18:52 < RangerZ> I try to stay at hotels my friends manage, so that way I don't have to pay 18:53 <@oddball> I don't use it often, but it's been damn nice to have it. 18:53 <@oddball> Oh, I try not to stay in those hotels at all, but when that's the hotel the con's in... 18:54 -!- stowbari [~Stowbari@cpe-71-79-168-107.neo.res.rr.com] has joined #se2600 18:54 <@oddball> For example, I'll probably use tethering at Dragoncon. We're staying in the Westin, which I think charges (I know the Hyatt, Marriot, and Sherriton do). 19:15 < Evilpig_> has anyone heard from jonny_X in the last few days? is he alive? 19:20 <@oddball> He's probably doing a shit ton of things for Dragon. 19:20 < Evilpig_> I assume so but I need a simple yes or no out of him and can't seem to find him 19:20 <@oddball> Unfortunately, one of those things isn't returning Naienko's emails after asking her to do website work for the science track! 19:21 * oddball passes Evilpig_ some of the freshly made pie 19:21 < Evilpig_> nice... 19:22 <@oddball> I'm guessing a gallon of it should last me for Dragon. May need to make more before Outside con. 19:22 < Evilpig_> We're gonna have homemade jerky at the con too. I talked one of our newest guests into doing a talk on how to make your own jerky, even from something like ground beef 19:23 <@oddball> Nice. I would pester my buddy that's now smoking meat for competitions, but there's a competition the Saturday of Phreaknic. 19:23 <@oddball> Which may mean that Critch will be missing as well. 19:24 < Evilpig_> There is a competition today. or was one today 19:24 <@oddball> Oh.. similar note. Would we like to have the Hypericon folks show up and run board games and such? 19:24 < Evilpig_> that'd be great 19:24 < Evilpig_> I'll have all my electronic stuff, plus a few boardgames 19:25 <@oddball> I'm guessing I'm handling that shit again this year. 19:25 < Evilpig_> One of those things we were supposed to handle at the last meeting but didn't somehow 19:25 < Evilpig_> probably though. ;) 19:26 <@oddball> Right, and unfortunately, I'll be at Outsidecon for the last meeting. 19:28 < RangerZ> oddball: don't assume that will be the 'last' meeting 19:29 < RangerZ> i'm sure there is going to be emergency meeting before the con, lol 19:29 <@oddball> heh 19:31 < RangerZ> and yay for Amazon prime having DS9 all 7 seasons for streaming 19:31 < Evilpig_> always is. most of that last minute shit is getting done via email 19:35 <@oddball> Damnit... Naienko's telling me that I'm still not allowed to get a Dragoncon sized flask. 19:39 <@oddball> I'm also not allowed to have one of these: http://designyoutrust.com/productdesign/giant-wine-glass-shaped-like-750ml-wine-bottle/ 19:41 < Evilpig_> she's no fun 19:42 < RangerZ> http://slashdot.org/story/13/08/24/2335257/microsoft-needs-a-catch-up-artist 19:42 < GateKeeper> Title: Microsoft Needs a Catch-Up Artist - Slashdot (at slashdot.org) 19:42 < aestetix> dongle 19:43 < RangerZ> I don't agree at all, they need someone who is willing to let one division of the company eat the lunch of others 19:44 < RangerZ> XBOX ONE in particular is a great example of htat 19:44 < RangerZ> they gimped their system, policy wise, to make it fit better into the entire ecosystem 19:47 < RangerZ> if they had skipped Skype, etc, they would been better off 19:56 < RangerZ> well, hell, I don't even mind itegration with skype, but they so wanted 'one thing' that they completely ignored consumer desires 19:58 < Evilpig_> Did you read the article about employee ranking and the toxic environment that microsoft that was leading to employees sabotaging each other in order to be ranked higher at teh cost of innovation or even productivity in many cases 19:58 < aestetix> so that link I posted a few days ago 19:58 < aestetix> http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/23/tech/web/martin-manley-suicide-website/index.html?hpt=hp_c2 19:58 < GateKeeper> Title: The sportswriter who blogged his suicide - CNN.com (at www.cnn.com) 19:58 < aestetix> yep it was true 20:04 <@Dagmar> OKay. Apparnetly I'm a bit more aggressive about killing people in Saint's Row IV 20:05 <@Dagmar> Total kills: 4,191... Community Average: 1,451 20:05 < Evilpig_> lol 20:05 <@oddball> Dagmar: heh 20:05 <@oddball> Have you beat it yet? 20:05 <@oddball> I still have some challenges to go. 20:06 <@Dagmar> I just finished it about an hour ago 20:07 <@Dagmar> People run over: 264. Community average: 80. 20:08 <@oddball> heh 20:08 <@oddball> I haven't looked at my stats. 20:08 <@Dagmar> I should really use the gamepad so I can steer properly 20:08 <@oddball> Probably pretty low, since I tended to just glide from location to location. 20:08 <@Dagmar> I'm sort of surprised it's that low, but then again, after a certain point it becomes City of Saints 20:08 <@oddball> heh... yeah. 20:09 <@oddball> I was thinking closer to Infamous, but... 20:09 <@Dagmar> It took me a while to realize the glowy spots on the walls were for people to shoot with their ice/fire power 20:09 <@oddball> Yeah... 20:09 <@Dagmar> I had to *accidentally* hit one to find out 20:10 <@oddball> Oh... I just went with the "what if I just fucking shoot it?" mentality. 20:10 <@oddball> The stompy ones on the ground took me a bit longer. 20:40 -!- stowbari [~Stowbari@cpe-71-79-168-107.neo.res.rr.com] has quit [Quit: Leaving.] 20:48 -!- stowbari [~Stowbari@cpe-71-79-168-107.neo.res.rr.com] has joined #se2600 21:37 -!- stowbari [~Stowbari@cpe-71-79-168-107.neo.res.rr.com] has quit [Quit: Leaving.] 22:25 < aestetix> dongle --- Log closed Sun Aug 25 00:00:44 2013
