I like the video; I'm not sure how helpful it is though.

Well, if you already know RAID 0. But lots of people don't, and I want to be complete.

I think it's definitely needed. Anyone who doesn't have any knowledge on the subject but is looking to learn will have a good resource in this.

Awake and headed to a client office to pick up @TechnicalAngel as soon as I caffeinat.e. Then off to a branch office in Cape Girardeau for the day.

Nice, sounds like a good day to me. Then again maybe that is just the side effect of going to a place with Cape in the name? I feel like all of the Capes I know are very nice areas lol.

Cape Fear?

Alright, I wasn't counting movie Capes...

Um....

@gjacobse VEry well, I haven't even gotten to 1,000

You just got here, though.

Yeah, you and I are youngin's compared to these other folks.

@dbeato I actually think it's one of the things about ML that I really like is that it isn't a competition like other sites I know, more like just a fun fact.

@gjacobse said in Korora to DeepIn:

Yesterday I moved from Korora to Deepin - it wasn't awful but it was somewhat of a challenge.

DeepIn would not install over Korora, so using GParted, I killed all the partitions and resized the second partition. I kept getting errors when doing so,.. but kept plugging along regardless. In the end, the Korora was gone and Vista wouldn't boot. I'd say that since I killed all but the Vista partition, I killed the partition with grub... Oops.

Got Deepin installed and update. No struggles there. And thus far - what a difference on the shut down.

Korora seemed to have some difficulty with the hardware, so it would stream a load of errors on shutdown before going off. I don't believe I had any system or application crashes - so over all the experience with Korora was good.

Deepin is a bit different. the desktop is more akin to the MACos with the bar at the bottom - at least the default setup. I've managed to install and add a few items to the bar, but of course it's now completely across the screen. I believe I may go back and remove those items from the bar, and add them to the desktop.

Beyond the native installed apps I have added:

• skype
• telegram
• pithos

Looking to install some of the other applications I use as well.. just not gotten to them yet:

• fldigi
• firefox
• keepass

I've found a lot of things about deepin to be very sleek. For example it's different desktop modes (I don't like my icons taking up half the page), such a simple thing but really makes my user experience even better.

Airport time.

Hope with Harvey being more east that your flight out isn't delayed and better still - it's a smooth flight.

No delays. Clear skies.

Nice! Good deal.

@tim_g said in Cell phones survey:

My next phone will most likely be Android because I want an Asus phone and want to get off o lf Win10 mobile before it crashes. If it doesn't then maybe ill come back in a few years.

I'm thinking about a ZenFone 4 for my next one. I've been burned by Androids (not Android itself, but every phone I've tried) but Asus has been so good to me, I feel good about testing one of their newer phones. I like the look and the features and the vendor. I want to get away from iPhone, but so far, have found no viable alternative. but I'm hopeful.

I'm not traveling heavily right now, so have an opportunity to test an Android again without the dangers of being stranded like I've been in the past when I foolishly tried that before.

It still amazes me that travel is so terrible with androids. I believe you 100%, it's just amazing that they could be that much worse.

Yep, still up. Heading home and bed-time. What-a-pain. No, I'm not telling before I get a little rest at least.

Oof, that sounds like a rough night. Glad you get some time to sleep at least.

Man, Google has moved from their targeted ads being "they sure don't know me and this stuff is SO random" to "holy cow Google is convinced I'm serious white trash."

LOL google is convinced I'm a gamer. But all the video game ads are mobile ads that are all screenshots ripped off of mainstream games but with a different game title.

@fuznutz04 said in Cell phones survey:

@tim_g I had a Windows phone once. It was OK, but I probably wouldn't go back.

I did too, it was awful.

I never did, thankful that I didn't.

@fuznutz04 Wow, yeah my old iphone 4 did that and I dealt with it for far too long. I swapped over and I likely will stay with my edge for quite some time.
