[00:01] hehe [00:09] stumbled upon this with my daily deal hunting, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vodafone-Smart-Turbo-Pay-Handset-Black/dp/B00MRS0C24 [00:09] looks pretty swish actually [00:11] not bad for the money, although might be worth checking Argos's sale, they normally have good deals on phones [00:12] doubt you'll find much cheaper than that, quad core with 4G for £60 [00:13] :) [00:13] what's the unlocking potential like? [00:14] no clue, I literally just read the specs on paper [00:14] we have our own telcos :< [00:15] or is that :> [00:16] Azelphur: Watch out for the quadness, some of them are poor spec cores [00:16] ah [00:17] Azelphur: The A7 cores are low spec cores [00:17] Azelphur: I mean still better than 2 A7 cores, but slower than the equivalent A15 cores [00:17] Azelphur: But people go 'woohoo quad core' and don't really notice it's 1.2GHz A7 [00:18] yea I guess, I figured 1.2ghz quad would be fine [00:18] the Nexus 4 was a 1.5ghz quad and it was really nice, still is [00:19] but yea, I suppose I should pay more attention to whether it's a crappy core [00:19] Azelphur: Yeh but those were 1.5GHz Krait's [00:19] indeed [00:19] I'm not sure of the performance diff between a krait and an A7 [00:20] Azelphur: The octocore machines that have 4 fast, 4 slow, I think tend to have the A7's as the slow, and A15 as the fast [00:20] I see :) [00:21] shame Google ignore the flaws with the Nexus 4 [00:22] Azelphur: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P4WtPGVHF-qFJbuR0LnM-kj15CzZAIAJQYUkMbvpRas/edit#gid=0 [00:22] (from a bit of googling) [00:22] that's a useful chart [00:22] Azelphur: So I don't know if that's actually accurate, but that's saying an A7 is 1.9DMIPS/MHz, and an A15 is 3.5, Krait is 3.3 [00:23] Azelphur: so a quad A7 just about scrapes past a dual Krait, and is slower than a dual A15 (just) [00:23] I see [00:24] Azelphur: Milage may of course vary, past performance is no guarantee of future gains.... [00:39] Azelphur: just a thought, if you haven't made any progress, have you thought about trying a cyanogenmod channel for anyone that might use chromecast? regardless of using said ROM of course [00:39] I asked on #android and some dude told me to use localcast which didn't work [00:39] hrmmph [01:25] sup [01:26] moto g is the best deal at the moment [01:26] 140 unlocked, android 5.0, dual sim or 4G [01:28] also we just did the chromecast thing here [01:28] worked fine, watched some iplayer and it was near-HD quality === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away === m0nkey_- is now known as m0nkey_ === bigcalm_ is now known as bigcalm [05:00] hey [05:00] so whos seen the interview [05:24] I don't really plan to. it doesn't really sound worth watching [05:25] 9/10 on imdb tho [05:25] heh [05:26] it was 9/10 before anyone had seen it. for the same reason slovakia voted to name a bridge "chuck norris bridge". you can't trust the internet to vote :) [05:26] oh [05:26] so who wa behind the 'hack' [05:28] if I was a betting man, my money would be on TeamGhostShell [05:31] the NK angle just seems highly illogical. they'd shared everything they had and torched the remains long before anyone made the connection with this movie [05:31] that's not what you do if you're trying to use it as leverage [05:32] yea [05:33] how did they get into sony servers does anyone know what the vulnerability was [05:33] from what I've read, it sounds quite likely they had inside help [05:34] and sony's reputation for security seems so bad that someone holding the door open would go a whole long way [05:35] what about the nk hack..didnt they steal fury? [05:36] this is a pretty hilarious read from 2007; http://www.cio.com/article/2439324/risk-management/your-guide-to-good-enough-compliance.html [05:41] it does start to paint a picture that perhaps drawing blood from their network isn't quite the feat it sounds [05:59] heh [05:59] howcome oure still up? [05:59] oure [05:59] youre argh [06:06] heh, I'm at work [06:09] ah [06:09] till what time [06:09] you work from home yea? [06:09] nope, in the office, till 6 [06:10] (pm) === zmoylan-1i is now known as zmoylan-pi [09:40] morning all [10:24] you might have to wait for the turkey coma to wear off for more responses... :-) [10:33] Morning all [10:42] hellos! [10:49] $timeofday [10:52] Ya! [10:57] morning [10:59] morning boys and girls. [11:15] aloha [11:22] HoHoHo [whoops. 1 day out out] [11:25] Yo yo yo! [11:26] ;) [11:30] post-ho [11:33] * Azelphur waves [11:33] boxing day sales aren't doing much, anyone see any cheap ~1TB drives? [11:35] Azelphur, yes - but it's busy doing backups... thanks for the concern though ;) [11:35] haha [11:35] might get bargins in russia for hard currency? :-/ === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [11:50] * SuperEngineer loves the way the VLC icon has a Santa hat on it during Christmas [11:50] or plume replaces notification noise with sleigh bells === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [15:36] I've made the switch to the gnome edition :) [16:18] Congratulations. [16:29] I'm going to make the switch at work too, I just think it's that little bit nicer than using regular ubuntu with gnome installed [16:32] hm, here's a fun one. I need to find a dns server that doesn't reply to tcp requests. I suspect I may as well skip this step and go straight to headbutting walls [16:33] why?! [16:33] but anyway, a firewall entry should solve that [16:35] trying to 'prove' a really weird scenario - one that does appear to be affecting customers, but everyone claims shouldn't [16:35] ok, so just add a firewall rule to block tcp connections on port 53 with whatever form of 'block' you want [16:36] we have a loadbalancer that only replies to udp. platform maintain this isn't an issue because it serves no 'large' requests, so tcp should never be required [16:37] now I appear to be running into customers who are only allowing 53/tcp outbound (not sure whether it's intentional .. they're in India) [16:38] yeh they're just wrong [16:39] they're all wrong. I want to bang their heads together. but each claim it isn't a problem because it works for everyone else [16:39] what's the largest valid udp sizes you're seeign? [16:40] honestly, no idea, I'm quite removed from the actual operations [16:40] but the loadbalancers serve no complex requests. just 2 A records [16:40] shauno: Curiously wikipedia has a piece of text that says 'Some resolver implementations use TCP for all queries.' but doesn't say which [16:43] hm, that's an interesting one. if I can prove that, it might be just the blunt instrument required to correct our side [16:44] shauno: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Domain_Name_System#Protocol_transport [17:12] * penguin42 saw a segway tour underway near me earlier; it seemed very leisurely and boring [17:43] what to do [17:43] hm [17:43] ive used a segway [17:43] the cops use them here, looks a little silly [17:43] hard at irst tbh..and i cant imagine using one all round a town [17:44] like in the Prague and that they do tours around the city on a segway [17:44] in busy areas..i wouldnt fancy using one:D [17:44] this was in a park [17:44] aye I've seen the cops in dublin using them. they look hilarious. [17:44] does seem odd [17:45] theyre quite expensive too iirc? [17:45] they do put the cops a few inches above the crowd so might be good in that respect [17:45] whats wrong with a good ole push bike: [17:45] I think they should just walk. they ought to be approachable - not ducking out their way because they managed to balance some fat guy on 1 wheel [17:46] cheap segways only have 1 wheel? :-) [17:46] I figure if it's dublin, there'll be a brick under the other wheel [17:47] look for gardai going in circles... [23:30] hm [23:30] hmm?
