[10:55] <Azelphur> Does anyone know if PS3 controllers work over bluetooth OOTB in Ubuntu 14.10?
[11:00] <sbutcher> heh
[11:00] <sbutcher> was just googling similar thing about android
[11:00] <sbutcher> have some nostalgic urge to play tomb raider
[11:02] <sbutcher> oh, they seem to have released it on ios, not android :(
[11:02] <Azelphur> sbutcher: I know how to do sixaxis on android
[11:02] <Azelphur> it's easy, I've done it :)
[11:02] <TwistedLucidity> On that topic - any decent USB gamepads for GNU/Linux? Or if the PS3 thing works...that could be a goer (if it works on a RasPi)
[11:03] <Azelphur> well if anyone has a ps3 controller (Original Sony, not a fake/gasia one) , I can talk you through testing if it works in like 2 seconds
[11:04] <shauno> I use a logitech f710 with my pi.  no complaints at all.
[11:05] <Azelphur> sbutcher: do you have a PS3 controller + bluetooth on a *buntu 14.10 machine?
[11:06] <sbutcher> no Azelphur only ps2 controller and usb
[11:06] <Azelphur> aww :(
[11:07] <Azelphur> I have the fake ones but they talk a different protocol than the official ones strangely
[11:09] <sbutcher> must be a few ps3 users in here
[11:10] <Azelphur> yea, I imagine someone will pipe up in a sec :)
[11:10] <popey> dunno anyone with a ps3 to test it
[11:10] <popey> i used a ps3 tv remote with my ubuntu machine for a while
[11:10] <popey> but it didn't power down nicely, so batteries drained quickly
[11:12] <Azelphur> ah
[11:12] <Azelphur> I've got a harmony remote now which is hooked up with Kodi :)
[11:12] <shauno> I'm finding the opposite with my logitech one .. the batteries have lasted so long I'm starting to suspect witchcraft
[11:13] <Azelphur> meanwhile with my crappy gasia knockoff controllers, they all have dodgy charging circuitry
[11:13] <Azelphur> I've damaged all of them and broke one
[11:13] <Azelphur> If you plug them in on anything that isn't USB Data they break :)
[11:14] <sbutcher> :(
[11:15] <sbutcher> bah my book didn't arrive in time for christmas
[11:19] <sbutcher> terrania is free on app store
[11:27] <popey> yeah, just grabbed that
[11:27] <popey> and plex
[11:27] <popey> also, tune in pro
[11:29] <knightwise> morning peeps
[11:30] <sbutcher> got sonic and some others too
[11:31] <sbutcher> my dishawasher somehow fixed itself after 2 months of not working properly \o/
[11:31] <knightwise> sbutcher: regenerating appliances ...
[11:32] <knightwise> Cool !
[11:34] <sbutcher> my son found out he has to wear glasses :( i think he's destined to be a geek :S
[11:35] <TwistedLucidity> Got no space on my phone for any more apps. :-(
[11:35] <TwistedLucidity> Keep trying to move things off internal storage to phone, but doesn't seem to free up any space
[11:35] <sbutcher> its annoying that amazon app store immediately starts downloading the app
[11:35] <sbutcher> i want to "buy" it but only to claim, and not download ASAP
[11:36] <TwistedLucidity> It's annoying that I can't delete Facebook and other tripe
[11:36] <sbutcher> which phone TwistedLucidity ?
[11:36] <TwistedLucidity> HTC Desire X aka HTC Turd
[11:36] <knightwise> Been working to get my Chromebook to play nice with my workflows this week. Interesting experiment
[11:37] <TwistedLucidity> I could probably root it, but seeing as there are not alternative ROMs other than UI fluff there's not much point.
[11:37] <knightwise> that was the reason I switched to the Oneplus One.
[11:37] <sbutcher> there is a way...
[11:38] <knightwise> Didn't want my next phoone to be full of samsung cruft
[11:38] <sbutcher> but it slowed my htc desire intolerably
[11:38] <sbutcher> its called s2e and you can partition your sd card so that the phone thinks it is actually internal storage
[11:38] <TwistedLucidity> sbutcher: The phone is already dog-slow
[11:39] <TwistedLucidity> It's just a piece of junk, last time I buy HTC
[11:39] <TwistedLucidity> knightwise: What's the Oneplus One like? Screen/battery life.
[11:41] <sbutcher> it was good in its day
[11:41] <sbutcher> the htc desire lasted 5 yrs for me
[11:42] <sbutcher> until the size of apps etc just ballooned inandroid
[11:42] <sbutcher> no fault of the phone. ecellent hardware and phoen design
[11:42] <TwistedLucidity> sbutcher: It's not a Desire, it's a "Desire X". I think the "X" stands for "eXtremely bad"
[11:42] <sbutcher> oh, is it a later rerelease?
[11:42] <TwistedLucidity> The standard Desires appear to be much, much better phones
[11:43] <TwistedLucidity> sbutcher: Bought it Feb 2013.
[11:43] <sbutcher> i seem to remember some budget rehash 2 yrs later
[11:43] <sbutcher> cyanogen would be good for it if you haven't
[11:43] <sbutcher> removes all sorts of cruft
[11:43] <TwistedLucidity> And yeah, it's budget. But budget should not equal garbage.
[11:43] <sbutcher> removing animations etc helps too
[11:43] <TwistedLucidity> sbutcher: Can't install cyanogen
[11:43] <ali12341> cyanogen doesn't run well on old phones
[11:43] <sbutcher> like the wildfire, a terrible phone
[11:43] <ali12341> unless you use an old build
[11:44] <sbutcher> yep ali12341 i had to use old build, there were none newer
[11:45] <sbutcher> why can't u install it?
[11:45] <TwistedLucidity> sbutcher: There was no build last time I checked, just some Cyanogen 10 unofficial alpha thing
[11:48] <sbutcher> looks like 10.1 is out there
[11:48] <sbutcher> everything is unofficial really
[11:48] <sbutcher> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2337389
[11:49] <ali12341> i have 10.1 on samsung galaxy S and it crashes all the time because it doesn't have enough memory
[11:50] <ali12341> desire x is probably a better phone though
[11:50] <sbutcher> oh, looks like loads doesn't work on that build
[11:50] <sbutcher> as far as i can tell, because forums suck for this stuf
[11:52] <TwistedLucidity> ali12341: I doubt it severely
[11:52] <TwistedLucidity> I have about 0.7GB RAM
[11:53] <TwistedLucidity> Firefox continually crashes the keyboard and other apps just trying to load a basic page
[11:55] <ali12341> galaxy S has has 384MB
[11:56] <ali12341> firefox is just bloated and slow, it crashes anything
[11:56] <TwistedLucidity> ali12341: 384? >ouch<
[11:56] <sbutcher> dolphin is ok
[11:57] <sbutcher> although probably sends your data to china
[11:57] <sbutcher> as opposed to the US, for chrome
[11:59] <TwistedLucidity> sbutcher: Indeed.
[12:02] <sbutcher> ugh, credit card bill is £2500 this month
[12:02] <sbutcher> and next month is the train season ticket :(
[12:08] <NET||abuse> just saw a notification, my odroid got shipped from birmingham to london, just 20 minutes in the future!
[12:09] <NET||abuse> when i saw it it was an hour and 20 minutes in the future.
[12:09] <NET||abuse> hehe, silly DHL

[18:44] <daftykins> good lawd
[18:44] <daftykins> just had to run up the boss' place to get the second zone on his amp working to play drinks party music :P
[18:45] <mapito> zone on an amp?!
[18:45] <daftykins> yeah fancier amps have multiple zones to play in other rooms
[18:54] <MartijnVdS> hm, steam down?
[18:55] <daftykins> site looks alive
[18:55] <MartijnVdS> "Could not connect to the Steam network", my client claims
[18:56] <daftykins> it's telling you to go be with people instead of games :D
[18:57] <MartijnVdS> peo.. what?
[18:58] <daftykins> \o/
[18:58] <daftykins> i'm afraid i don't have the desktop client on this machine so i can't test
[20:36] <foobarry> right, gonna follow everyone else's lead and get off irc for a few days
[20:39] <daftykins> foobarry: happy christmas sir, enjoy
[20:46] <foobarry> and you you too

[23:46] <zmoylan-pi> people are out frantically doing all their christmas shopping in 24hour service stations :-)
[23:47] <daftykins> XD
[23:47] <daftykins> oh dear
[23:49] <zmoylan-pi> everyone needs a roadside emergency kit and a set of jumpleads :-)
[23:49] <shauno> they should!  else they may forget on a trip to the continent and run foul of laws they've never heard of
[23:53] <Azelphur> Anyone happen to have a PS3 (official Sony, not a knockoff one) controller and *buntu 14.10?
