Monitor talk reminds me of a dumb rear end-ticket from a bit back. We had a special snowflake doing some heavy number crunching or 3d modeling or gene sequencing or vr porn production ... something. So he somehow talked his boss into approving him a second computer just for the whatever, and keep his old one for email / lync/ web/ etc. But he didn't want another set of controls. So he got a KVM. Then he got a mechanical keyboard. That didn't work with the USB KVM - its USB port didn't put out enough power. So we had to get him a powered USB hub to sit between the KVM and the keyboard. Then he thought the USB hub was ugly and cluttered his desk so we had to get him a monitor with built-in hub. Then he figured out that he could have two monitors despite the KVM, because he needed to constantly monitor - ha - what the other computer was doing. Then he got a fancy new mouse. Every time he KVM switched, however, one of the computers (the old one, I think) lost track of the mouse. One of my coworkers found a workaround - unplug and replug the mouse from the hub (the one in the monitor). Because he only had to switch once or twice a day, he was happy to - haha, no. In the end, I found the solution by pure dumb luck: if there was another mouse plugged into that computer, it would see the KVM mouse just fine. So I took a broken mouse, further broke it, and plugged it in behind said computer. I labeled it as follows: MORE MAGIC Leave me plugged in or KVM will misbehave.

nexxai posted:I know this issue is probably long solved, but you should have checked out Synergy. https://symless.com/synergy It was open source for a long time on SourceForge I think, but then some company took over and added some new features. It still works and is made for exactly the kind of situation you're describing. We thought of it, but it was vetoed. They were wary of any "remote control" type of programs there, he didn't want to put yet more software on the whatevercomputer, and I suspect the person who had put in the KVM solution didn't want to roll it back. Politics.  EDIT: Isn't it illegal (in the license violation sense) to take an open source program and make it into a commercial product? Then again, that doesn't seem to have stopped the X-Chat guy. EDIT 2: I have an iogear USB KVM with audio and dual-link DVI. $100, but works beautifully and even has a remote button so no loving around with keyboard shortcuts. sfwarlock fucked around with this message at 23:09 on Apr 13, 2017 |

I don't recall if this actually happened or was just /. speculation, but I recall hearing about a "source" release that had been run through an obfuscator. (along with comments stripped, etc.)

Most of them were just generic "internet seems kind of slow is there something wrong?" with a couple "has someone updated the blocked sites list?" (Which they don't have either.) Ironically, the two people whose job it is to use Facebook (social media mavens) didn't raise a peep.

... at midnight. Ex-job apparently did not take me off the SMS alert rota. I think I replied with E, that is "Escalate up." or it might have been R for "Resolved." They're right next to each other. In my half asleep state, do I know what I'm doing?

I'm unable to sign into AIM? Was there a policy change? Is it blocked at the firewall? Can you advise? Update: I can't sign in on my phone either? Please help?

There's something broken about that game. I'm making 131k paperclips/sec, I'm selling an average of 81k / sec... and my inventory keeps cratering. The standard deviation on that avg sales must be huge.

MisterOblivious posted:"Suppose we have an AI whose only goal is to make as many paper clips as possible. The AI will realize quickly that it would be much better if there were no humans because humans might decide to switch it off. Because if humans do so, there would be fewer paper clips. Also, human bodies contain a lot of atoms that could be made into paper clips. The future that the AI would be trying to gear towards would be one in which there were a lot of paper clips but no humans." "The AI doesn't love you. The AI doesn't hate you. You are made of atoms which the AI could use for something else."
