I know, like I said, no real updates on the iMac or Mac Pro :/

[Rosscow]

2TB SSD upgrade is £1080!

So if you want the top of the range 15" MB Pro it's going to cost you £4049. Ouch.

2.9ghz i7, boost to 3.8ghz
16gb RAM
2TB SSD
Radeon Pro 460 4GB video card

What SSD are they using? You can get a Samsung for £800ish or Crucial for £500

Just out of interest: why would you want a good command line?

POSIX, coreutils, bash, vim, mutt, irssi... and a terminal that on a level with iterm.

I'm a developer and hate them avoid them when I can, sometimes thats not enough.

And before you accuse me of not really knowing or understanding I coded unix/c for many many years. fk that its the dark ages.

I thought windows ten now had the Ubuntu shell in it?

[RobDickinson]

yep Bash shell, and powershell and etc etc etc...

[SystemParanoia]

Activate developer mode, install update, then system search for bash

Can you turn off scrollbars? Split the window into four and cycle between them using the keyboard?

Guess there's no getting round the root partition ending up under /mnt/c.

[Rawwr]

Yeah, I just reduced the window for the cap.

I thought I'd opened the Geek Jokes thread, and have just been studying that screenshot in great detail looking for a punchline.

You can't reduce the window size without having scrollbars?

Can you split the window into multiple terminals?

[ajprice]

Leaving the command lines alone for a minute, is the mechanism for the floating screen on this anything like the iMac G4?


The odd one of those had issues with the arm getting loose so it wouldn't hold the screen up by itself after a few years.

That arm also meant they could make the iMac with different screen sizes, so maybe MS could come out with a smaller screen (21"-24") cheaper version at some point, or a bigger one (30"+).

And someone mentioned this in work, I can see where they're coming from... the big tilting touchscreen isn't a million miles away from the easel computer in the Be Right Back episode of Black Mirror

Can you turn off scrollbars? You can change the width and height of the page (in settings/layout), so in essence yes.
Split the window into four and cycle between them using the keyboard? You can open 4 windows, and use Alt+Tab / Alt+Shift+Tab to move between them.

[768]

Yeah, still a bag of nails.

[Rawwr]

The Linux subsystem is still very, very beta.

[768]

What do you mean by the subsystem?

[Rawwr]

Like a system but, you know, underneath.

There's a reasonable summary of it all here: http://www.howtogeek.com/265900/everything-you-can...
