[04:14] <shloimy9> how can i force mount my samsung galaxy tab 4 on ubuntu 13.04?
[04:14] <shloimy9> it is soft bricked
[07:36] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[07:59] <smittix> Moaning all
[08:07] <SuperMat1> ooh, a lot of us are here twice
[08:07] <SuperMat1> how strange
[08:14]  * foobarry isn't
[08:22] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[08:32] <knightwise> morning everyone
[09:02] <SuperMat1> *grumble*
[09:03] <SuperMat1> using kill -USR1 isn't showing me the status of my dd
[09:03] <SuperMat1> has anything changed in recent versions
[09:42] <bigcalm> Anybody experienced openconnect creating routes just fine on most machines, but not creating any on others?
[09:43] <bigcalm> I've just had to use my laptop to do a deployment because my dev server isn't creating the routes
[10:29] <switchtehbeat> anyone done the ice bucket challenge yet?
[10:30] <directhex> which one?
[10:31] <directhex> apparently macmillan cancer support have been duping people into donating to them, not to MNDA
[10:34] <switchtehbeat> there's loads on my facebook feed, people doing the ice bucket challenge then donating £3 lol
[10:34] <foobarry> is that what you do?
[10:34] <switchtehbeat> yep
[10:35] <switchtehbeat> macmillan it is directhex
[10:35] <switchtehbeat> too many doing it
[10:35] <switchtehbeat> even disabled people and kids :/
[10:35] <foobarry> some americans were saying i nominate you and if you don't do it then you pay $100
[10:35] <switchtehbeat> lmao foobarry
[10:35] <foobarry> i haven't really been paying attention
[10:35] <foobarry> seems like playground bravado
[10:35] <foobarry> masquerading as charitable work
[10:36] <directhex> it is. but it's raising a bunch of money
[10:36] <foobarry> who for?
[10:36] <switchtehbeat> 75 million so far i think like wtf
[10:36] <directhex> in theory, the motor neuron disease association, and their international equiavlents
[10:36] <switchtehbeat> cancer foobarry
[10:36] <foobarry> what is ALS?
[10:37] <directhex> in practice, macmillan, since they bought the google adwords & plenty of people are talking about ALS and donating to macmillan unthinkingly
[10:37] <foobarry> ALS = MNDA?
[10:37] <directhex> foobarry: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the american name for motor neuron disease
[10:37] <foobarry> ah ok
[10:37] <foobarry> americans
[10:38] <directhex> mostly known as "Lou Gehrig's disease", after a famous american sports star who had it
[10:38] <foobarry> more famous than hawking?
[10:39] <directhex> for americans, sure
[11:12] <foobarry> one for hitch hikers fans http://shirt.woot.com/offers/spirit-of-zaphod?ref=cnt_top20_5_img
[11:14] <foobarry> "I love it, but I hate it because it should have been Janx Spirit. The Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is a cocktail. All the same, I'll probably buy one."
[11:14] <foobarry> heh
[11:18] <zmoylan-pi> or the galactically known gin and tonix variant
[11:22] <directhex> zaphod's just this guy, you know?
[11:39]  * zmoylan-pi waves hands over sub-etha radio to change the station
[11:48] <foobarry> i bought a kindle book that was on offer yesterday for £0.99. then later on i received a £1 credit for amazon music because of a qualifying purchase :S
[11:48] <Myrtti> nice
[11:49] <zmoylan-pi> 1p short of giving them a piece of your mind :-)
[11:51] <DJones> foobarry: I can do better than that, I use one of the android apps that searchs for free books on Amazon, got one a day or so back for £0.00 and also got the £1 credit for digital music
[11:58] <foobarry> \o/
[11:58] <foobarry> was the book any good?
[12:00] <DJones> Looked ok to me
[12:01] <DJones> I can give it a try anyway, not lost anything if its no good
[12:02] <zmoylan-pi> amazon will be recommending you the weirdest stuff because of your previous 'purchases'? :-)
[12:02] <foobarry> you can delete them from history
[12:02] <foobarry> it's even if you looked at them
[12:03] <foobarry> i got recommended bras for ages after looking at a completely unrelated item
[12:03] <zmoylan-pi> and the hour or two you looked through the recommended bras they sent? :-)
[12:04] <popey> DJones: what app is that?
[12:05] <DJones> popey: Let me find it, there's one for kindle & one for kobo books
[12:06] <popey> ace
[12:06] <DJones> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kindook.bookofday&hl=en
[12:06] <popey> odd, it refused to install
[12:06] <DJones> https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Book%20Monk&hl=en Is the developers of it, a lot of romance books, but occasionally some decent scifi
[12:06] <popey> i sent it from there to my n7
[12:07] <popey> "could not be downloaded due to an error. (941)
[12:07] <DJones> Maybe thinks the link was specific to my play account, perhaps try from the 2nd link
[12:07] <popey> no, it isnt
[12:07] <popey> i can see it in the store on my device but it wont install
[12:08] <DJones> I've just done the Kindle UK freebooks app & thats installed ok for me
[12:08] <popey> nope
[12:08] <popey> that one fails too
[12:08] <DJones> Strange, mine is installed on a N7 (2013) model
[12:09] <popey> http://techknowzone.com/how-to-solve-fix-error-code-941-google-play-store/
[12:09] <popey> *boggle*
[12:10] <popey> ah, i think the internal storage is full
[12:10] <popey> 576MB free
[12:10] <DJones> I wouldn't have thought it was that big an app
[12:11] <popey> hah, clear cache as freeed up 2.3G!
[12:11] <DJones> heh
[12:13] <popey> seems to have fixed it. thanks
[12:14] <DJones> I probably find at least one book that I'd read every other day or so (normally scifi or adventure/thriller)
[12:17] <DJones> It updates every day, normally around 8-9pm ish
[12:19] <zmoylan-pi> the bible - **** a real bodice ripper :-p
[12:35] <foobarry> next moto G will be 5 inch.
[12:35] <foobarry> not sure if thats a deal breaker
[12:36] <foobarry> got a message from bayer saying paypal are taking 72 hrs to clear funds atm
[12:37] <zmoylan-pi> so the money is 'just resting in their account'?
[12:37] <foobarry> sounds like it
[12:39] <foobarry> considering i paid on credit card, there is no such funds waiting to clear
[12:40] <foobarry> "A nine year-old girl in the US has killed her shooting instructor by accident while being shown how to use a high-powered submachine gun."
[12:42] <directhex> an uzi!
[12:42] <zmoylan-pi> a fully automatic uzi
[12:42] <directhex> from a place called bullets & burgers!
[12:42] <zmoylan-pi> called the last stop ironically enough
[12:42] <directhex> #1-rated attraction in the whole of las vegas, according to tripadvisor!
[12:43] <zmoylan-pi> fun for almost the entire family
[12:43] <foobarry> we instruct 5yr olds
[12:44] <zmoylan-pi> do you hand them automatic weapons?
[13:59]  * awilkins boggles at the idea of handing 9 yr olds automatic weapons
[13:59] <awilkins> Air rifle? No problems.
[14:00] <awilkins> When I was a kid we all wanted a Black Widow catapult, which is easily a lethal weapon
[14:00] <zmoylan-pi> depends on the kid, i wouldn't hand nerf to some kids, they'd just use them to persecute cats birds
[14:01]  * 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 style
[14:04] <zmoylan-pi> then later in school a good metal coat hanger did the job nicely
[15:00] <BigRedS> Ah the proper ~2mm steel ones, not a wire one
[15:25] <zmoylan-pi> splitters!!
[15:25]  * diddledan loves when that happens - it's quite a rush
[15:25] <diddledan> like when you get up too quick and nearly pass out
[17:59] <davmor2> black widow catapult pffff bowie knife
[18:01]  * zmoylan-pi must watch crocodile dundee again
[18:02] <SuperEngineer> ?e sharpens bread knife
[18:02] <SuperEngineer> [makes as much sense as "black widow catapult pffff bowie knife" ;)
[18:03]  * brobostigon is happy to say, his brother has beat him again, and he has another nephew.
[18:04] <SuperEngineer> brobostigon: hope the beating wasn't too violent [tho just a bit is ok]
[18:04] <zmoylan-pi> \o/ a reason to go shopping for lego
[18:04] <brobostigon> SuperEngineer: haha
[18:05] <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 :)
[18:06] <davmor2> SuperEngineer: I was expecting something along the lines of cancer whenever I see the line just won a long battle......
[18:06]  * brobostigon is the aspie of the family, and will never marry nor will he likely ever have children.
[18:07] <zmoylan-pi> donate to a sperm bank?
[18:07] <SuperEngineer> Dave2: pesimist!
[18:07] <davmor2> SuperEngineer: I'm so happy it was only software :)
[18:08] <SuperEngineer> software ills are always better than real life ones [says SuperEngineer with a torn shoulder muscle]!
[18:09]  * zmoylan-pi sees your torn shoulder muscle and raises you an artificial hip
[18:09] <SuperEngineer> ...but how else could I get home early to solve my game-play woes ;)
[18:09] <SuperEngineer> zmoylan-pi: ouch!
[18:09] <zmoylan-pi> on the plus side, cyborg 0.1 beta
[18:10]  * zmoylan-pi just wishes that victorinox made an artificial hip, they'd shove some cool stuff in there :-)
[18:13] <zmoylan-pi> a motion powered wireless phone charger :-)
[18:19]  * zmoylan-pi discovers that crocodile dundee didn't make it after last disk loss.  time to dig out dvd for rerip
[18:20] <arsen> eughh eye strain sucks
[18:30] <davmor2> arsen: so do vacuum cleaners however them sucking is a good thing ;)  Sorry to hear about the eye though it is annoying
[18:32] <SuperEngineer> arsen - eye strain or time to visit othalmic optician?
[18:33] <SuperEngineer> *opthalmic
[18:33] <zmoylan-pi> test your eyes on the charts from feckarse industries :-p
[18:35] <SuperEngineer> "nope, I can't see the 3rd row, or the secound, or the first actually - would you mind a lot if I turned the chair to face charts?"
[18:42] <SuperEngineer> ooo- just realised - I like the new blue Steam Launcher - and circular the notification icon
[18:43] <SuperEngineer> is being young Luke
[18:46]  * SuperEngineer wonders where that darn line break came from!
[19:03] <arsen> is there a difference between UK and EU keyboard layouts?
[19:03] <arsen> i want the new das keyboard 4 ultimate, but in UK form - hard to find :/
[19:03] <Myrtti> *squint*
[19:05] <MartijnVdS> UK keyboards are slightly different
[19:06] <MartijnVdS> almost every EU country has its own keyboard
[19:06] <MartijnVdS> NL uses American layouts.. but French and German layouts are WEEEEIRD
[19:06] <arsen> hmph
[19:06] <Myrtti> french have azerty
[19:09] <MartijnVdS> and numbers that you have to press SHIFT for first
[19:13] <davmor2> MartijnVdS: but for some reason you think it is right to have a US layout in an EU Country :P
[19:13] <davmor2> MartijnVdS: weirdos ;)
[19:15] <MartijnVdS> davmor2: I have a UK chromebook to compensate
[19:15] <MartijnVdS> davmor2: I don't think it's that different really.. I mean who uses ¬
[19:16] <davmor2> MartijnVdS: popey for his silly ascii art big letters
[19:17] <MartijnVdS> davmor2: Weirdo
[19:18] <arsen> trying 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.
[20:00] <daftykins> arsen i bought from getdigital.de when i got mine, years ago
[20:00] <daftykins> :)
[20:26] <shauno> I thought das keyboard had no key markings?
[20:28] <shauno> so it should just be ansi vs iso - tall enter key (eu/iso) vs no key between lshift & Z (us/ansi)
[20:28] <Myrtti> some of them do
[20:35] <shauno> I guess that's just the only context I can see an 'eu' layout making sense
[20:39] <arsen> daftykins  - so you suspect DE = UK? therefore EU=UK? :o
[20:50] <daftykins> arsen: nah they just sell UK ones :)
[20:53] <arsen> ah
[21:27] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[21:28] <diddledan> morning
[21:35] <dogmatic69> any wifi extender recommendations?
[21:35] <dogmatic69> I have a WN3000RP which seems rubbish
[21:36] <bigcalm> This appears to work well for my parents: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BMULADI
[21:37] <arsen> morning? o_O
[21:38] <bigcalm> arsen: UGT
[21:40] <dogmatic69> bigcalm: any idea on the rage it gets?
[21:40] <arsen> wow, i'm going to have to google that timezone.
[21:40] <bigcalm> dogmatic69: enough to keep my parents happy :)
[21:40] <dogmatic69> lol
[21:40] <arsen> okok. i get it :)
[21:41] <bigcalm> dogmatic69: I got that one to partly future proof them. They don't have 5GHz yet, but it's there for when they do
[21:41] <bigcalm> arsen: :)
[21:41] <dogmatic69> I got 5g
[21:41] <dogmatic69> \o/
[21:41] <arsen> smarter response than my usual to when people quiz me for saying "morning" irrelevant of time. :)
[21:41] <bigcalm> Me too. Makes a huge difference
[21:42] <bigcalm> Must say that the 5ghz range is pants in my house, but the speed makes up for it
[21:42] <dogmatic69> bigcalm: is there such a thing that would just use the same ssd?
[21:43] <Myrtti> none of the mobile devices we have can function efficiently on 2.4 anymore
[21:43] <bigcalm> dogmatic69: you can change the SSID to the same as your router
[21:43] <Myrtti> at least when at home
[21:43] <bigcalm> But do that as the very last step :)
[21:43] <dogmatic69> bigcalm: it does not conflict?
[21:44] <bigcalm> dogmatic69: not tried it so I can't comment
[21:44] <dogmatic69> k
[21:44] <Myrtti> 2.4 is so full there's about 5 ssids on any channel
[21:44] <bigcalm> It might very well just work :D
[21:45] <bigcalm> Looking at the Wifi Analyzer [sic] on my phone, my 5ghz network is the only one in range :)
[21:49] <arsen> i think half of my devices in my house don't yet support 5g :<
[21:49] <arsen> can't remember if it was my iphone or ipad, one of them sucked.
[21:51] <bigcalm> Just noticed that the chromecast is back up to 30 odd quid on Amazon. Making last week's purchase even more pleasing
[21:51] <arsen> id like to play with a chromecast to see if i actually would want one
[22:03] <popey> i extended the range of my access point..
[22:03] <popey> ..by adding another access point
[22:08] <dogmatic69> bigcalm: same ssd working so far :)
[22:54] <diddledan> gog.com are going to do other things in addition to games - starting with movies from today
[22:54] <diddledan> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZQL-8SDyi8
[22:59] <shauno> what happened to their "like steam" thing?
[22:59] <diddledan> galaxy?
[22:59] <shauno> dunno?
[22:59] <diddledan> as far as I'm aware it's still planned?
