in the late 90s i had dialup, pages were bloated before flash
with all those damn animated gifs.
so i used links :/
lynx?
elinks? :)
nah plain links
elinks is bloated
this is late 90s we're talking about right
links is bloated compared to lynx :P
not really
lynx was my first text browser, around 1999 or so
and layout works so much better
omg
no wait, older...
That's what she said!!
links is huge now
lol
1.3mb binary
it wasn't like that before
i had 24 mb of ram
and i i left like 6 instances running all the time
i think back then links was less bloated than lynx
lynx binary is 1.5mb now
I find it satisfying to see "modern" browsers adding a new text-only feature (Firefox Reader View)
I like the idea of click-to-run being applied to images, and presenting only text + layout by default
How would the ideal lightweight [GUI] browser work in your opinions?
it would be w3c compliant for starters
lol @ bad samsung design: you can create long, complex pws to sign in to your samsung acct on their site. their mobile sso apps only allow 15 (not 16) character pws.
ha, then on top of that, when you chg your pw, it wipes out your local samsung pay details so you have to do it again. silly shit.
(call the bank to verify the card you add, etc)
anyone else notice green checkmarks on desktop icons after migrating to windows 10?
dekstop icons?  i don't notice desktop icons :)
i can hardly read he desktop icons, they're really tiny, but i can't see azny green
i do have blue arrows
those indicate shortcuts I think
my green checkmarks seem to have disappeared
i have really tiny icons, adn they don't work well with my background picture
i never use desktop icons though
4k or 1440p?
1440p
windows don't go so well on 4k
well on smaller screen 4k
I suppose video editing might benefit
have multiple 1080p windows
lots of things can benefit i imagine
not coding / IRC / facebook
what
coding/irc benefit :)
you can have better text
I guess if you do split windows
within the same space
you think i do full screen irc? :)
I have it on a separate monitor
hmm if i make it full screen it's 273x75
no-one ever writes that wide :)
not even BryceBot?
oh brycebot did
haha
lol
ok this feels funny
I have IRC'd @ 2560x1440 with 8pt font before. It's... insane. There's just so much room!
i made the text ultra-big
so now i'm at 106x29
which is more like how i used to use irc in the 90s
with svgatextmode, and it seems all encompassing
weirdly it's actually harder to read being so big
I IRC @ 169x87 (characters, not pixels), which is approximately 1/2 of a 1080p monitor for me. (Of course, it's Weechat so there are several buffers in that space)
Windows list: [1] (0:18;169x63) [2] (0:2;169x15)
(not that /window list really encapsulates everything on screen :P)
how long do you guys usually run a windows desktop before rebooting?
Same "rules" as my *nix desktops - until it needs it, eg installing an update, or some uncorrectable error.
i shut mine down when i'm done for the day
I sleep mine
zero reason for me to leave mine up unless my goal is a higher energy bill
Putting it to sleep or letting it go to sleep means I can quickly WOL it and RDP back in.
I'm less concerned about the electric bill, more concerned about the heat it puts into the room :p
haha
heat = ac for me
so more heat = more ac = more power
Oh for sure... unless you don't have A/C ;) (or you do have AC but it's a portable unit and you try to not need to run it)
right
my AC is one of the "energy efficient" ones that draws air from every room in an attempt to balace the temperature and stuff
it just means i have to run it longer for the temperature to equalize
mnathani_: a couple of months
I restarted mine after about a month
and couldnt get it to come back up again
how do you tell?
systeminfo
command prompt
where?
Original Install Date:     8/29/2015, 4:42:14 PM
System Boot Time:          8/29/2015, 6:54:34 PM
heh
i booted 13/08 3:31 am
i think that was an update
that force rebooted
weird it says original install date is the 29th of 7
i installed way before that
most be when i updated to the final build?
did you update to windows 10 on that date?
probably
i have no idea tbh
