| 16:10.59 | Simca | Stanzilla: so the overwatch downloading issue - apparently every time a file structure changes, it will throw off the offsets for every other related file because of the encryption |
| 16:11.24 | Simca | they removed a string field in one type of file, for probably a total change of 3-4 KiB across all overwatch files |
| 16:11.32 | Simca | and it prompted a 1 GB+ download. |
| 16:11.41 | Simca | great system, A+ |
| 16:14.36 | Fisker | nice Simca |
| 16:16.00 | Simca | a curse dev I asked said CASC's patch system is probably disabled because it is incompatible with OW's encryption, so it probably won't get better. they're just going to have to be super careful about adding and removing fields. |
| 16:17.31 | Fisker | Why are they encrypting Simca ? |
| 16:18.23 | Simca | they can ship dev assets with the live game and then refuse to hand out the keys to the clients until the second that they want to |
| 16:18.56 | Simca | so they could technically announce a hero or map and release it within the hour |
| 16:19.04 | nevcairiel | its a beta, they might just get rid of the encryption for the final game |
| 16:19.47 | nevcairiel | or devise some new way thats patcheable if they decide to keep it |
| 16:21.34 | Fisker | That's stupid Simca |
| 16:22.29 | Simca | they could, nevcairiel, but it seems designed to be anti-datamining and the encryption has a part in that |
| 16:22.49 | nevcairiel | yes, but anti-datamining is even more important in a beta game |
| 16:23.02 | nevcairiel | where there could be loads of unfinished and disabled stuff |
| 16:23.15 | nevcairiel | (in before wow 7.0 uses that to screw with you) |
| 16:23.25 | Simca | that would suck |
| 16:23.42 | Simca | thankfully their biggest problem is usually they just are bad at categorizing what they should be holding back |
| 16:24.26 | Simca | (i.e. all the unlock/progression strings for overwatch we datamined should have been under the encryption key that the server isn't giving out) |
| 16:25.55 | Fisker | I'll unlock your string |

| 21:53.57 | Simca | points me to a microsoft knowledge base article that says 'sorry, solution not available for your OS', and shows every OS except 10. |
| 21:54.44 | Simca | I go looking for an install log and find none, but I find an extracted installer. I double-click the extracted installer, the install pops up for a second, a desktop icon appears, and skype starts. |
| 21:55.55 | Simca | because clearly an error that can not be fixed by repeatedly running the setup exe can be fixed instantly by extracting the installer and running that... |
| 21:58.51 | Amarande | wonder if they're trying to basically let the classical desktop skype app die :| |
| 21:59.01 | Amarande | they probably want you to use the metro version |
| 21:59.07 | Amarande | from windows store |
| 21:59.46 | Simca | naw, they seem to be trying to do the opposite |
| 22:00.02 | Amarande | I've seen things mentioned about 10 that kinda suggest that pretty much what Microsoft wants is to push people to use the store as close to exclusively as they can get away with |
| 22:00.03 | Simca | since 10 came out, their download page doesn't even advertise the metro app |
| 22:00.27 | Amarande | keep in mind things like the fact that when an app is hosed the *first* thing the "app can't run" dialog suggests is a system refresh (which, of course, obliterates *all* your non-store apps) |
| 22:00.40 | Amarande | in 8.x, refresh was kinda regarded as a last resort, not a first-line repair choice :S |
| 22:01.12 | Simca | http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/ literally doesn't even list the metro app |
| 22:01.30 | Amarande | huh. it's probably still on the store though ... maybe they're expecting people to search the store instead of the web for apps? :S |
| 22:01.41 | Amarande | but odd that it wouldn't mention it on the website |
| 22:02.07 | Simca | yeah it used to be there, was listed as like 'Get Skype for Modern Windows' or something |
| 22:02.19 | Simca | now it only offers windows desktop again |
| 22:02.44 | Amarande | or maybe microsoft just doesn't have a clue what they're doing anymore *shrug* |

| 22:04.38 | CiroIp | Simca: Im pretty sure the skype desktop client run without need to be "installed" |
| 22:04.55 | CiroIp | Amarande, anymore? ;) |
| 22:05.10 | Amarande | CiroIp: heh |
| 22:05.29 | Amarande | mind you, I haven't run skype in aeons, and even windows I've only used a little bit in the past several months |
| 22:05.37 | CiroIp | at some point microsoft started to feel cool :) |
| 22:05.46 | Amarande | my windows pc is at my fiancee's already and I only own one windows licence, so I've mostly been on linux |
| 22:05.48 | CiroIp | must be all those surface in "the martian" |
| 22:06.35 | CiroIp | there is (was?) an official skype client for linux |
| 22:06.38 | Amarande | mind you, I have to wonder if Nadella is scared stiff at the current financial state of AMD |
| 22:06.47 | CiroIp | think predate microsoft acquisition though |
| 22:06.47 | Amarande | which kind of has the potential to pretty much punch Microsoft in the face with a steel glove |
| 22:06.58 | Amarande | yeah, there's still skype for linux even now |
| 22:07.22 | Amarande | but folks I actually want to contact tend to pretty much all be on irc or facebook or google or forums anyway |
| 22:07.31 | CiroIp | simca could run a virtual machine running skype on linux... |
| 22:07.32 | CiroIp | lol |
| 22:07.46 | mckenziemc | discontinues Amarande for Linux but keeps the trademark active. |
| 22:07.48 | Amarande | but yeah, about AMD, think about it ... Ars is indicating they may be in even more dire straits than they're already thought to be in |
| 22:07.56 | Amarande | if AMD bites the dust, Windows has got a problem |
| 22:08.49 | Amarande | x86 computers would get more expensive, which will push people away from x86 computers due to affordability, and that's about the only thing MS has really been successful on |
| 22:09.13 | mckenziemc | if you say so |
| 22:10.09 | Amarande | mckenziemc: for windows, ARM basically means Windows RT and Windows Phone, which have had about all the popularity of third-party candidates in U.S. presidential elections :) |
| 22:10.35 | CiroIp | well, didnt microsoft compiled Windows on arm? |
| 22:10.48 | CiroIp | right :) |
| 22:10.48 | Amarande | CiroIp: yeah, but the app ecosystem is near-nonexistent |
| 22:11.01 | Amarande | you're pretty much limited to metro apps, and tablets and phones have different stores on top of that |
| 22:11.04 | CiroIp | well, they could revive the ecosystem whenever they want |
| 22:11.04 | nevcairiel | People are not giving up their apps no matter what |
| 22:11.14 | Neffi | It's an OS in the Windows family. It's not the same OS as you get on x86. |
| 22:11.26 | Amarande | about the only thing I've seen Windows Phone really shine at is GPS navigation |
| 22:11.39 | Amarande | and I suspect that has more to do with the fact that by the time you get to point B you still actually have a functioning battery |
| 22:11.44 | CiroIp | people compiled regular desktop application for the RT |
| 22:11.58 | Amarande | whereas with Android 5.x activating the GPS at all tends to have a habit of causing your battery life to act like a dribble glass |
| 22:12.01 | Neffi | I dont think it has win32 at all, CiroIp, but I might be wrong |
| 22:12.46 | mckenziemc | recompiles Amarande with the --silent flag |
| 22:12.56 | Neffi | gives mckenziemc an award |
| 22:13.07 | Amarande | I'm not entirely sure why, but it's known that lollipop has terribad battery life and experimentation seems to indicate the GPS functionality is at fault |
| 22:13.22 | mckenziemc | redirects Neffi's meals to /dev/null |
| 22:13.32 | Neffi | I get fine battery life when using GPS even with turn by turn navigation, Android 5.1 |
| 22:13.42 | Neffi | mckenziemc: awww D: |
| 22:14.09 | CiroIp | Amarande, Im pretty sure android performances are heavily influenced by the hardware youre runnin it |
| 22:14.31 | Neffi | I suspect most of the craptastic battery life on Android is user's fault. Installing tons of apps that keep the CPU pegged in the background so they can push notifications about how they haven't played their shitty game in a whole 20 min |
| 22:14.42 | CiroIp | Neffi, sorta agree on that too |
| 22:14.47 | Amarande | yeah most of the lollipop complaints seem to be on devices that were upgraded to it |
| 22:15.03 | Amarande | although it's kinda telling in that regard that quite a lot of android devices on newegg are still using kitkat, even recent looking ones |
| 22:15.47 | CiroIp | pretty hard to judge how an OS works with so many different devices and usecases |
| 22:15.54 | Amarande | Neffi: yeah social apps are horrible in that regard, there's a reason I only keep facebook messenger on my phone and not the full-fat facebook app |
| 22:16.20 | Neffi | ~shrug |
| 22:16.20 | purl | go. to. sleep. |
| 22:16.23 | Amarande | I keep messenger so I can get messages from folks that have my FB but not my phone number for SMS (also I didn't have unlimited SMS for a long time) |
| 22:16.31 | Neffi | users apparently want that shit. it seels. |
| 22:16.38 | Amarande | but the full-fat facebook app? unnngghhhh. I deal with it every time I turn on my tablet after having not used it in a while |
| 22:16.56 | Amarande | damn thing takes an aeon analysing everything that's come down the fb pipe since last time and turning it into notifications :( |
| 22:17.14 | Neffi | I don't know anyone worth talking to that doesnt use SMS nowadays. Over here, pretty much any cell plan you can get includes unlimited SMS |
| 22:17.29 | Amarande | Neffi: in the US it depends on your provider |
| 22:17.45 | Neffi | Well, none of the providers I know of meter your SMS usage |
| 22:17.46 | Amarande | if you've got T-Mobile it's basically always unlimited SMS, if you've got AT&T though it's either $20 for unlimited or you have to pay a quarter for every SMS sent or received |
| 22:18.02 | Neffi | I'm on one of the really cheap ones and I've got unlimited everything, except data throttles to 3G speeds past 2GB |
| 22:18.05 | CiroIp | lol, I worked with SMS for a while and I assumed they were dead 2 years ago |
| 22:18.15 | Amarande | and prepaid plans often take a fraction of a minute off your balance for an SMS (like I think Tracfone takes a third of a minute for each text) |
| 22:18.34 | Amarande | that is, the prepaid plans that aren't unlimited-everything prepaids |
| 22:18.34 | Neffi | I forgot ATT still offers prepaid |
| 22:18.40 | CiroIp | didn't whatsapp substituted sms? |
| 22:18.59 | Amarande | but there's the suck thing ... in the US, unlimited SMS tends to be exclusively the property either of prepaid or of T-Mo |
| 22:19.03 | Amarande | and prepaid comes at a penalty here |
| 22:19.18 | Amarande | *especially* if you're the kind of person who comes to #wowuidev, actually |
| 22:19.32 | Neffi | There's an AT&T reseller that does unlimited talk/text and 2 GB of 4G for like $45 per month |
| 22:19.35 | Neffi | I forget thename |
| 22:19.41 | Neffi | oh, Straight Talk |
| 22:19.56 | Amarande | as in, for some reason people can't get Battle.net SMS Protect with prepaid phones in the States |
| 22:20.10 | Neffi | Their web site is awful and their support is awful, but it's AT&T service. It seems to work really well. My father has it |
| 22:20.19 | Amarande | the reason for this seems to be foggy, last claim I heard was it had something to do with some stupid arsed federal regulation designed to target SMS spammers |
| 22:20.51 | Amarande | but that doesn't explain why google or microsoft can text security codes to prepaid phones and blizzard can't :S |
| 22:21.06 | mckenziemc | wow, Amarande admitting his knowledge of something is foggy... |
| 22:21.30 | Neffi | inserts a fog machine into mckenziemc's apartment and/or house and/or place of residence. |
| 22:21.35 | Amarande | mckenziemc: the entire community's knowledge of why SMS Protect and American prepaid phones are a stormy relationship seems to be foggy |
| 22:21.59 | Amarande | there's explanations that range from the SMS spam act all the way to anti-terrorism regulations |
| 22:22.01 | mckenziemc | inserts a fog machine up Neffi's something. |
| 22:22.35 | Amarande | (actually the latter is semi-believable. I'm actually not at all sure if Blizzard might have had to obey "money transfer business" rules as part of operating the real money AH for D3) |
| 22:22.42 | Neffi | mckenziemc: oddly comfortable, thx |
| 22:23.02 | kd3 | the RMAH for d3 hasn't been a thing for over a year now |
| 22:23.59 | Amarande | kd3: yeah, but when SMS Protect was being introduced, the big thing it was added in connection with was the RMAH |
| 22:24.27 | Amarande | so it's reasonable for people to wonder if rules for the former were connected with it being a required feature to use the latter fully |
| 22:24.41 | Amarande | after all, remember you HAD to have SMS Protect to get real money payouts from sales |
| 22:24.53 | Amarande | otherwise you had to settle for the bobby bucks :) |
| 22:42.35 | Stanzilla | are you guys still trying to argue with Amarande |
| 22:42.39 | Stanzilla | haven't you learned |
