| 00:37 | | * McMartin experiments with KDE Plasma Desktop |
| 00:37 | <&McMartin> | This is... a whole lot more sensible than the last time I tried KDE. |
| 00:43 | <&McMartin> | Also, Xenon can do audio playback now, hooray. |
| 00:52 | < Azash> | When you need to reserve train tickets but the ticket shop was outsourced to Accenture |
| 00:53 | <&McMartin> | Hm. There is the issue that it doesn't want to display at over 1366x768, which is, um, a bit too low on the vertical space. |
| 00:59 | <&McMartin> | Mmm. Seems to be the monitor's fault. It'll accept a 1080p image, but it will then clip off all the edges. |

| 01:38 | < Azash> | What the Christ |
| 01:38 | < Azash> | I kept getting errors for the online ticket store so I checked the FAQ |
| 01:38 | < Azash> | "The web store is open all days of the week 04:00-01:30." |
| 01:38 | < Azash> | That'll do it but.. Why? |
| 02:04 | < Turaiel> | Scheduled maintenance, probably |
| 02:05 | < Turaiel> | System's likely not set up to be able to handle requests and perform maintenance at the same time. |
| 02:05 | < Turaiel> | Government websites are like that fairly often for whatever reason. |
| 02:15 | < Azash> | Turaiel: But this is the web shop for the national railway monopoly |
| 02:15 | < Azash> | >> |
| 02:16 | < Turaiel> | They suck at web architecture :) |
| 02:17 | < Azash> | Yeah, as noted, this was a heavily publicized Accenture failure |
| 02:17 | < Azash> | By which I mean it was an Accenture project |

| 11:34 | <@abudhabi> | Is it just me, or do wireless input devices (mice, keyboards) have far lower failure rates than wired equivalents, simply because they lack the cable? |
| 11:34 | <@abudhabi> | I've replaced countless wired inputs, nearly all of them because the cable was fucked. |
| 11:35 | <@abudhabi> | I'm wondering if it isn't cost-efficient to just spent some of the replacement money on batteries. |
| 12:06 | < Emmy> | never had that before |
| 12:06 | < Emmy> | the only wired things that ever get *^$^#% is my headphones |
| 12:07 | < Emmy> | and as long as they keep doing that within the 2yr warranty period every time, i'm good with that. |
| 12:33 | <@TheWatcher> | I tend to kill hte microswitches in my mice before the cable gives out - usually I'll replace them a couple of times first, in fact. |
| 12:50 | < Emmy> | This raises the question... what do you do to those poor peripherals, abudhabi!? |

| 13:20 | <@abudhabi> | Emmy: Move them around. |
| 13:28 | <@gnolam> | I'm with TW. Never broke a cable, but I have worn out a lot of microswitches. |
| 13:30 | | * Emmy shrugs |
| 13:31 | < Emmy> | my peripherals are all >15yr old. |
| 13:32 | < Emmy> | I've got an usb keyboard i use as emergency/spare and which i take to work which is a bit newer, but even my usb laser mouse is more than 15yr old afaik. |
| 13:33 | <@gnolam> | Glarghl |
| 13:33 | <@gnolam> | The documentation is lying again. >_< |
| 13:34 | < Emmy> | Why? is it advertising a tool as 'easy to use'/'reliable'/'safe'? |
| 13:35 | < Emmy> | or 'fast' |
| 13:35 | <@gnolam> | So, that arkane printing macro language? Silly me, I was implementing it according to its manual. |
| 13:36 | <@gnolam> | Not only are there a whole bunch of undocumented tags, but quite a few of them don't actually do what they're supposed to. >_< |
| 13:36 | < Emmy> | Ah, lovely |

| 14:34 | <@gnolam> | It does explain some things though. Like why some of the undocumented codes appear to duplicate already existing ones. |
| 14:34 | <@gnolam> | Because the existing ones never actually worked. |
| 14:34 | <@gnolam> | And so people got "special" codes implemented. |
| 14:35 | <@TheWatcher> | ... This sounds like HTML~ |
| 15:24 | | * [R] hasn't had horrible failure rate with peripherals. |
| 15:24 | < [R]> | Though my mom junked a bunch of mice because she'd bring the laptop she used in from the cold and assumed the jerky mouse movements were unrelated to the fact the computer was too cold. |
