| MartijnVdS | In the countries listed, credit cards aren't used as often I think? | 07:15 |
| MartijnVdS | I know people in .nl tend to be *scared* of having them somehow | 07:15 |
| Myrtti | I'm not too keen on them either | 07:16 |
| Myrtti | I keep zero balance on mine | 07:16 |
| Myrtti | it's only for emergencies | 07:16 |
| MartijnVdS | Mine is for Amazon and holidays :) | 07:19 |
| MartijnVdS | and things like the google play store stuff | 07:20 |
| Myrtti | I've got my debit card on Amazon and Google Play, not credit | 07:21 |
| Myrtti | but my sister refuses to put either on Google Play, so she'll like Paypal | 07:21 |
| MartijnVdS | Dutch debit cards dont have credit card-like numbers | 07:23 |
| MartijnVdS | just IBAN | 07:23 |
| diddledan | that means they only work in nl? | 07:24 |
| diddledan | my debit card works wherever mastercard is accepted \o/ | 07:24 |
| Myrtti | yeah, likewise | 07:24 |
| Myrtti | do any of the banks over here do personalised cards? | 07:25 |
| diddledan | it's not something I've looked into | 07:25 |

| gebbione | hi all, i have an old system i want to recover from hardware death. Yesterday i started it again after a few years | 07:45 |
| gebbione | and it looks like a power supply problem as power comes up but dies/shuts down just moments after | 07:46 |
| gebbione | any suggestions on what i can troubleshoot? | 07:46 |
| gebbione | maybe i need to replace the bios battery? | 07:47 |
| popey | morning | 07:47 |
| bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 07:59 |
| MartijnVdS | gebbione: I'd try with a new/different power supply | 08:02 |
| MartijnVdS | gebbione: or just plug the disk into a different machine and make sure you have a backup of the data | 08:02 |
| gebbione | MartijnVdS, i am doing the data backup | 08:05 |
| gebbione | but dont have a spare psu | 08:05 |
| gebbione | it was funny that it did run for 15/20sec and then suddenly died yesterday night | 08:05 |
| gebbione | and now it will only try to spin the fans for less then a second and die straight away | 08:06 |
| gebbione | anyway i ll see if i can see the parts | 08:06 |
| gebbione | cheers | 08:06 |

| diddledan | wow, my googley play order has shipped | 09:00 |
| diddledan | I only ordered it at 6am this morning | 09:00 |
| Myrtti | ooh er | 09:02 |
| Myrtti | what did you order? | 09:02 |
| diddledan | I accidentally ordered a watch | 09:03 |
| diddledan | the lg one | 09:03 |
| Myrtti | lol accidentally | 09:03 |
| foobarry | tax office sent a cheque to me yesterady, uninvited | 09:06 |
| diddledan | ouch | 09:06 |
| diddledan | where do they get off giving random punters their money back?! | 09:07 |
| davmor2 | foobarry: yeah apparently there was a cock up with the figures so some people were overcharged apparently. This will be the refund on that I assume. | 09:08 |
| Myrtti | the tax bracket for my dad was too high last year because the tax man assessed he'd get half a year more income than what he did (passed away year and a week ago), so the estate (me) is going to get about 1500€ refund come December. Decided to use it to cover some wedding costs. No we don't have a place and date yet | 09:12 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:14 |

| davmor2 | Myrtti: I'm glad I re-read that tax bracket statement. 1500euros on weeding is way too excessive :D Wedding sounds far more enjoyable :) | 09:28 |
| diddledan | why does the wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices _still_ list the galaxy nexus (maguro) as working with OTA updates? | 09:28 |
| bashrc | maybe very harsh weeds | 09:29 |
| popey | diddledan: its a wiki, feel free to edit it | 09:29 |
| diddledan | popey: I don't know what to put instead tho | 09:30 |
| diddledan | I'm not involved :-) | 09:30 |
| popey | but you know something is wrong | 09:30 |
| popey | on a wiki | 09:30 |
| popey | but took time to tell us here rather than just, you know, fix it ☻ | 09:31 |
| popey | tell me what line is wrong and I'll fix it | 09:31 |
| popey | wiki by proxy | 09:31 |
| diddledan | hehe | 09:31 |
| diddledan | I'm just logging-in | 09:31 |
| popey | i see "Galaxy Nexus (deprecated)" | 09:31 |
| diddledan | yeah that's the bit I'm referring to - the sentence directly above the table says that OTA works with those devices in said table | 09:32 |
| popey | maybe just add a carriage return before || Galaxy Nexus | 09:32 |
| popey | that will break it into two tables | 09:32 |
| popey | and thus fix the issue ☻ | 09:32 |
| bigcalm | popey: do you leave your charging pads pluged in and switched on all of the time? | 09:33 |
| popey | yes | 09:33 |
| popey | well, no | 09:33 |
| popey | plugged into a usb hub attached to pc | 09:33 |
| bigcalm | How long have you had them? | 09:33 |
| bigcalm | Ah | 09:33 |
| diddledan | grr, the openid auth system seems to be timing out when I click the confirmation to share my detials with the wiki | 09:34 |
| bigcalm | I think I might unplug some things while on the cruise | 09:34 |

| foobarry | is google giving 500 error for anyone else? | 09:34 |
| Myrtti | yes | 09:34 |
| foobarry | davmor2: they gave me £200 | 09:34 |
| diddledan | not me | 09:34 |

| diddledan | Myrtti: their automated failover probably kicked in | 09:35 |
| Myrtti | human psychology is odd. I have no idea why I've got the sense of forboding about Rolf Harris sentencing. | 09:35 |
| bigcalm | About 3,660,000 results (10.89 seconds) | 09:35 |
| bigcalm | That's a very long time to wait with them | 09:36 |
| popey | Delivered On: Tuesday, 29 April 2014 | 09:36 |
| diddledan | VERY | 09:36 |
| popey | bigcalm: ^ that long | 09:36 |
| bigcalm | popey: but not powered all of the time I'm guessing? They use some power, just wondering if I should bother unplugging them when not in use | 09:36 |
| Myrtti | 1,270,000 results (13.64 seconds) | 09:37 |
| popey | powered 99% of the time | 09:37 |
| popey | they use very little power | 09:37 |
| bigcalm | Fair enough | 09:37 |
| * bigcalm leaves them be | 09:37 | |
| Myrtti | I'm wondering what the difference of the QI receiver on Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 are | 09:37 |
| * popey puts a device on one and looks how much current it takes | 09:37 | |
| popey | 0.5A when there's a phone on it | 09:38 |
| popey | 0.01A when no phone on it | 09:38 |
| Myrtti | my sister has the same kind of Rearth Ringke Fusion case on her N4 as I've got on my N5 and hers doesn't charge on the Nokia Fatboy QI | 09:38 |
| Myrtti | mine does | 09:38 |

| Azelphur | diddledan: oO, shipped out huh? | 11:02 |
| Azelphur | yea mine has dispatched too | 11:02 |
| Myrtti | they probably won't deliver on Saturdays | 11:02 |
| Myrtti | so don't hold your breath | 11:02 |
| Azelphur | how do you get tracking? | 11:03 |
| Myrtti | atleast the Nexus 5 wasn't delivered on Saturday, it was loaded in the van on Saturday but that didn't mean a thing | 11:03 |
| diddledan | Azelphur: in the email that says it shipped they included a tracking link | 11:04 |
| Azelphur | hmm, I never got one. | 11:04 |
| Azelphur | oh, I guess mine hasn't dispatched yet | 11:05 |
| diddledan | maybe yours is via a different courier? | 11:05 |
| * Azelphur shrugs | 11:05 | |
| diddledan | the email states at the top: "Great news! Your order on Google Play has shipped." | 11:06 |
| diddledan | (maybe that helps you find it | 11:06 |
| Azelphur | also they lied, it says "Dispatched from warehouse by 4 July." | 11:06 |

| dvrr | how to resolve packet loss belkin router. ( I updated Firmware Info. There is no new firmware update available for this Router! ! ) please guide me | 11:35 |
| foobarry | how do you know it's the router | 11:37 |
| foobarry | could be your network card | 11:37 |
| Myrtti | Belkin... | 11:37 |
| Myrtti | toss it in the sea and get something better. I've not had nothing but trouble and woe with mine | 11:37 |
| Myrtti | they're too light even to be used as a weight for a crab pot | 11:41 |
| foobarry | a few belkins can be openwrted | 11:41 |
| davmor2 | my last belkin didn't last 6 months before I had to reset it daily to make it work. I grabbed a tp-link on the cheap but that has memory management issue on the default software so put dd-wrt on it never looked back. Next router I bought was tp-link again stuck dd-wrt straight on it perfect little router :) | 11:42 |
| MartijnVdS | dd-wrt is crappy old though. Better use OpenWRT | 11:43 |
| foobarry | synology can stream to chromecast \o/ | 11:43 |

| Azelphur | holy crap, no wonder that router I set up in a local cafe had it's DHCP table full | 13:29 |
| diddledan | o_O | 13:29 |
| Azelphur | It filled up, so I lowered the DHCP lease time to 1 hour, it currently has 74 entries in the DHCP table | 13:29 |
| diddledan | you might be better off with a 15 minute or maybe less lease time | 13:29 |
| diddledan | cafes get a lot of footfall | 13:30 |
| Azelphur | well 74 is still less than 255, we're still ok | 13:30 |
| diddledan | true | 13:30 |
| Azelphur | and this is more of a cafe where the typical sit is like an hour | 13:30 |
| diddledan | keep an eye on it tho | 13:30 |
| Azelphur | so, if it goes over I'll probably reflash the router with *wrt and give it a much larger DHCP pool | 13:30 |
| Azelphur | eg 192.168.* | 13:30 |
| diddledan | would be nice if you could set up a monitoring system that alerts you when it gets near the limit | 13:30 |
| Azelphur | indeed | 13:30 |
| diddledan | (nagios et al would do that) | 13:30 |
| diddledan | icinga is nagios without the cruft | 13:31 |
| Azelphur | diddledan: would need to drop the stock firmware though :) | 13:31 |
| diddledan | aah | 13:31 |
| foobarry | adagios | 13:58 |
| foobarry | is worth a look | 13:58 |

| popey | http://www.raintoday.co.uk/mobile works nice on ubuntu phone | 14:57 |
| mapp | can anyone recommend some good headphones..noise cancelling..want them for flying mainly..last time could barely hear the audio from my nexus7 | 14:58 |
| awilkins | mapp, Are in-the-ear-canal phones acceptable? | 14:58 |
| awilkins | mapp, I used Etymotic in-the-ear ones until I mangled the cable and I'm presently using Jays | 14:59 |
| mapp | hmm not sure i know which you mean..ive got some ear buds where they have like a soft sponge thing and look like theyre meant to go in the ear..but they fall out | 14:59 |
| mapp | il google it | 14:59 |
| awilkins | mapp, When I get around to soldering a new plug on my Etymotics I'll probably go back to them | 14:59 |
| Laney | I had Etymotic HF-5s until they broke | 14:59 |
| awilkins | mapp, They have the sponge ones, but I usually use the silicone ones | 14:59 |
| Laney | super great | 15:00 |
| Laney | one you get used to shoving something down your ear | 15:00 |
| mapp | hmm mayve ive got funny ears but they always fall out | 15:00 |
| awilkins | Yeah, the sound quality is primo... but they are uncomfortable for a while | 15:00 |
| Laney | you get different sized ones | 15:00 |
| mapp | how would i know what size?! | 15:00 |
| Laney | comes with them | 15:00 |
| mapp | ah | 15:01 |
| Laney | or you can get them moulded for £££ | 15:01 |
| mapp | i think over the head ones would be better..always had trouble with in ear like that | 15:01 |
| mapp | not keen on getting those beats..dont wanna look like a teen sheep | 15:01 |
| awilkins | They're mostly about looks, aren't they? | 15:02 |
| awilkins | And they won't stop plane noise | 15:02 |
| mapp | i read theyre actually decent | 15:02 |
| awilkins | Unless they do antinoise ones | 15:02 |
| mapp | argh | 15:02 |
| awilkins | I like the in-ear ones... they're polite, other people can't hear them | 15:02 |
| mgdm | `/30 | 15:02 |
| mgdm | oops | 15:02 |
| awilkins | Open backs are just rude | 15:02 |
| awilkins | Unless you're in your own homw | 15:03 |
| mapp | i get that awilkins just worried of them being useless | 15:03 |
| mapp | and falling out my ears;p | 15:03 |
| mapp | this was what i looked at | 15:03 |
| mapp | http://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/gadgets-tech/silent-flight-7-best-noisecancelling-headphones-9540664.html?origin=internalSearch | 15:03 |
| mapp | sony ones..well im not a pro 449 seems a bit much | 15:04 |
| mapp | wow beats are 269 too | 15:04 |
| awilkins | Got my Etymotic ER6i set for £70 | 15:05 |
| awilkins | But I don't think they make them anymore | 15:05 |
| awilkins | Not sure what the equivalent model is now | 15:05 |
| mapp | i might get those Bose ones | 15:05 |
| awilkins | I like the look of the Tivoli ones. If you like wood. | 15:05 |
| mapp | is it possible i get these in the ear ones and they fall out like other in the ear cheap ones? | 15:05 |
| mgdm | I've heard that the Bose ones are decent, but I have no personal experience - a few friends have them | 15:06 |
| mapp | its only for flying tbh..doubt id wear them out or to the gym | 15:06 |
| awilkins | mapp, I don't know.... the in-the-ear ones that are buds only contact the rim of your ear canal | 15:06 |
| mapp | but watching a film with my normal ear buds sucked..had to hold them in my ear to hear it loud enough | 15:06 |
| awilkins | mapp, The ones I've used have silicone grommets that you basically push INTO your ear canal | 15:07 |
| awilkins | THere's an art to it | 15:07 |
| mapp | hm | 15:07 |
| awilkins | You have to pull your ear back at a certain angle with your thumb and push them right in | 15:07 |
| mgdm | awilkins: my ear canals are too small for those | 15:07 |
| mapp | ive always had probs with in ear which is what worries me | 15:08 |
| mgdm | I got quite nice Shure headphones once and couldn't use 'em, even after ordering the extra extra extra small rubber bits | 15:08 |
| awilkins | Yeah, I suppose it's like anything else that you wear that's a tight fit | 15:08 |
| mapp | think il buy the bose ones | 15:09 |
| mapp | gotta also remember..toothpaste..seem to forget it every time;p and some kind of small aftershave | 15:09 |
| mapp | the tennis is nice in hd..i wouldve liked to have seen the tennis in 3dbut they stopped doing it few years back:( | 15:10 |
| diddledan | had em talking round in circles for 6 minutes, not bad | 15:24 |

| mapp | i especially like it when i get the 'hi is that mr jones' 'mope 'who is it' 'doesnt matter to you..bye' | 15:27 |
| mapp | lol | 15:27 |
| diddledan | this one wouldn't believe that my phone number can be reverse mapped using public records (BT phone directory) to my physical address - they insisted that I tell them what it is | 15:27 |
| diddledan | I gave him a chance at least, I told him that he had the first three digits of my post code correct but the rest was wrong, and then I went further by telling him the last digit which left him with 26^26+10^10 potential combinations | 15:29 |
| diddledan | less than that even | 15:29 |
| diddledan | 126 combinations | 15:30 |
| diddledan | 1 letter and two numbers | 15:30 |
| diddledan | my math foo sucks | 15:30 |
| diddledan | it's not 10^10 at all, it's 10^2 | 15:31 |
