awilkinsWhen I was a kid we all wanted a Black Widow catapult, which is easily a lethal weapon14:00
zmoylan-pidepends on the kid, i wouldn't hand nerf to some kids, they'd just use them to persecute cats birds14:00
* zmoylan-pi remembers the blackwidows, always wanted one, never got one. i just made my own with wooden branch and rubber bands dennis the menace style14:01

brobostigonSuperEngineer: haha18:04
SuperEngineer...sorry folks - in a silly mood - just won a long, long battle to get Montague's Mount [on steam] fitting the screen it's wanted on :)18:05
davmor2SuperEngineer: I was expecting something along the lines of cancer whenever I see the line just won a long battle......18:06

davmor2SuperEngineer: I'm so happy it was only software :)18:07

arsenis there a difference between UK and EU keyboard layouts?19:03
arseni want the new das keyboard 4 ultimate, but in UK form - hard to find :/19:03
Myrtti*squint*19:03
MartijnVdSUK keyboards are slightly different19:05
MartijnVdSalmost every EU country has its own keyboard19:06
MartijnVdSNL uses American layouts.. but French and German layouts are WEEEEIRD19:06
arsenhmph19:06
Myrttifrench have azerty19:06
MartijnVdSand numbers that you have to press SHIFT for first19:09
=== webpigeon_ is now known as webpigeon
davmor2MartijnVdS: but for some reason you think it is right to have a US layout in an EU Country :P19:13
davmor2MartijnVdS: weirdos ;)19:13
MartijnVdSdavmor2: I have a UK chromebook to compensate19:15
MartijnVdSdavmor2: I don't think it's that different really.. I mean who uses ¬19:15
davmor2MartijnVdS: popey for his silly ascii art big letters19:16
MartijnVdSdavmor2: Weirdo19:17
arsentrying to figure out if "EU" means UK on the DAS keyboard 4. as i can only find it listed as EU on amazon, not UK.19:18
daftykinsarsen i bought from getdigital.de when i got mine, years ago20:00
daftykins:)20:00
shaunoI thought das keyboard had no key markings?20:26
shaunoso it should just be ansi vs iso - tall enter key (eu/iso) vs no key between lshift & Z (us/ansi)20:28
Myrttisome of them do20:28
shaunoI guess that's just the only context I can see an 'eu' layout making sense20:35
arsendaftykins  - so you suspect DE = UK? therefore EU=UK? :o20:39
daftykinsarsen: nah they just sell UK ones :)20:50

dogmatic69any wifi extender recommendations?21:35
dogmatic69I have a WN3000RP which seems rubbish21:35
bigcalmThis appears to work well for my parents: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BMULADI21:36
arsenmorning? o_O21:37
bigcalmarsen: UGT21:38
dogmatic69bigcalm: any idea on the rage it gets?21:40
arsenwow, i'm going to have to google that timezone.21:40
bigcalmdogmatic69: enough to keep my parents happy :)21:40
dogmatic69lol21:40
arsenokok. i get it :)21:40
bigcalmdogmatic69: I got that one to partly future proof them. They don't have 5GHz yet, but it's there for when they do21:41
bigcalmarsen: :)21:41
dogmatic69I got 5g21:41
dogmatic69\o/21:41
arsensmarter response than my usual to when people quiz me for saying "morning" irrelevant of time. :)21:41
bigcalmMe too. Makes a huge difference21:41
bigcalmMust say that the 5ghz range is pants in my house, but the speed makes up for it21:42
dogmatic69bigcalm: is there such a thing that would just use the same ssd?21:42
Myrttinone of the mobile devices we have can function efficiently on 2.4 anymore21:43
bigcalmdogmatic69: you can change the SSID to the same as your router21:43
Myrttiat least when at home21:43
bigcalmBut do that as the very last step :)21:43
dogmatic69bigcalm: it does not conflict?21:43
bigcalmdogmatic69: not tried it so I can't comment21:44
dogmatic69k21:44
Myrtti2.4 is so full there's about 5 ssids on any channel21:44
bigcalmIt might very well just work :D21:44
bigcalmLooking at the Wifi Analyzer [sic] on my phone, my 5ghz network is the only one in range :)21:45
arseni think half of my devices in my house don't yet support 5g :<21:49
arsencan't remember if it was my iphone or ipad, one of them sucked.21:49
bigcalmJust noticed that the chromecast is back up to 30 odd quid on Amazon. Making last week's purchase even more pleasing21:51
arsenid like to play with a chromecast to see if i actually would want one21:51
popeyi extended the range of my access point..22:03
