| * penguin42 uses the phrase 'a pool of gently festering chocolate goo' in a mail to ambrosia to explain why they need to improve the packaging on their chocolate custard | 14:36 | |
| zmoylan-pi | their marketing department will waste a lot of time trying to work that into an advert | 14:42 |
| penguin42 | and I'll be proud if they do | 14:43 |
| zmoylan-pi | nah, you'll be out looking for an intact carton of chocolate custard | 14:43 |
| daftykins | penguin42: :D | 15:51 |
| daftykins | i had an almost impossible decision at a restaurant for lunch, cheesecake... sticky toffee pudding or brownie | 15:52 |
| penguin42 | so you got all of them? | 15:52 |
| daftykins | nah, just the one! i've gained a bit too much weight during the downtime since hospital | 15:52 |
| penguin42 | so it was the STP ? | 16:01 |
| daftykins | i find it's tough for them to get that one right, so i went brownie - controversially | 16:02 |
| penguin42 | well, chocolatey goodness - no cfc available? | 16:04 |
| daftykins | chlorofluorocarbons ? o0 | 16:05 |
| penguin42 | Chocolate Fudge Cake | 16:05 |
| diddledan | choccy fudge cake is teh awesome | 16:28 |
| penguin42 | nod, especially when it's given like 10s in a microwave to fudgicate it | 16:28 |
| daftykins | no fudge cake nope :( | 16:29 |
| daftykins | as it was i was going to stop drinking Guinness but i snuck a 4 pack into my shopping Friday | 16:29 |
| daftykins | and polished off two last night before bed ;) | 16:30 |
| diddledan | the google mothering sunday doodle is cute | 16:39 |
| daftykins | ^_^ | 16:41 |
| SuperEngineer | hurumph! get-iplayer still snafu'd by BBC! | 17:02 |
| daftykins | :( | 17:02 |
| daftykins | i'm sure someone in here had it working well after i'd noticed it was borked also | 17:02 |
| * SuperEngineer composes letter "Dear Beeb, you ba***rds" | 17:03 | |
| daftykins | i was definitely trying the latest build from the site of whoever took over development | 17:03 |
| SuperEngineer | [I wouldn't mind so much if they didn't have a hate campaign against all those who had to work today and wanted to see a replay of F1] | 17:05 |
| * SuperEngineer wonders if there is a discrimination case against the beeb to be had out of this ;) | 17:06 | |
| diddledan | it annoys me that the beeb only have highlights of f1 on the iplayer instead of a full replay (when they had the full play rights to a race as opposed to sky-crippled highlights-only) | 17:06 |
| SuperEngineer | +1 | 17:06 |
| diddledan | I get that they agreed that sky get full-play to all races and the beeb only get full-play on some, but if they had full-play on a particular race I don't see why they can't put that on the iplayer | 17:07 |
| diddledan | it was a bit of a slap in the face by the beeb in agreeing to the deal anyway | 17:08 |
| SuperEngineer | again, +1 | 17:09 |
| diddledan | I'm betting bernie ecclestone made a mint though, so it's all good -_- | 17:10 |
| daftykins | :( | 17:10 |
| diddledan | it looks like sky only do highlights replay, too | 17:13 |
| SuperEngineer | what, surely not! are you suggesting Ecclestone is finance only focused & couldn't give a damn about anybody but himself?!!! That is an awful suggestion... | 17:14 |
| SuperEngineer | ..shame it's true though ;) | 17:15 |
| daftykins | on the bright side guys, you only need to see a couple of laps 'cause the rest are monotonous, so surely highlights are best :D | 17:17 |
| mapp | hi all | 17:47 |
| diddledan | allo | 17:48 |
| daftykins | evenin' | 18:21 |
| shauno | eyup | 18:29 |
| daftykins | setting up 2 factor authentication on my xbox account was kinda fun, turning on my xbox one asked me to authorise it on my phone app... so i pulled it out of my pocket and just had to hit 'yes' \o/ | 18:32 |
| daftykins | though i'm concerned that's yet another app running constantly on the ol' phone, sapping juice | 18:32 |
| daftykins | 4GB DDR3 ordered for that cheap £208 Lenovo laptop, £20.99 delivered \o/ | 18:32 |
| daftykins | that thing is now crazy fast with the free SSD too :) | 18:33 |
| penguin42 | which laptop? | 18:34 |
| daftykins | https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7t7n5llpq5dyuc7/AACsIO22uCVR3MUceENXe3yla?dl=0 | 18:34 |
| daftykins | this'un | 18:34 |
| daftykins | bit chunky at 15", but it'll do for the old girl | 18:35 |
| daftykins | free printer too, still don't know what to do with that :P | 18:35 |
| daftykins | the 7mm thick 500GB HDD in that thing is so skinny... https://www.dropbox.com/s/8xbkunl846l085x/IMG_20150314_154708.jpg?dl=0 | 18:36 |
| daftykins | there's it beside one manufactured in 2012 | 18:36 |
| penguin42 | well it's not like the SSD needs the space for heads or platters or things that have to move over each other | 18:36 |
| daftykins | nah, both those are mechanical | 18:37 |
| daftykins | must be a single platter with the skinny one | 18:37 |
| penguin42 | nod | 18:39 |
| daftykins | but yeah that 180GB intel SSD in there is flying now :) bit more mother proof since it can be flung around now too | 18:41 |
| penguin42 | haha | 18:41 |
| diddledan | m00 | 21:42 |

| popey | pip pip | 21:48 |
| diddledan | allo | 21:48 |
| daftykins | evening | 22:30 |
| daftykins | just finished The Blues Brothers \o/ | 22:30 |
| daftykins | now i need to pick a cheap graphics card for a friend, hmm | 22:31 |
| daftykins | nvidia GT 730 seems tempting 0o | 22:31 |
| diddledan | hehe - blues bros rock | 22:32 |
| daftykins | that they do :D | 22:32 |
| zmoylan-pi | the sequel was never going to be as good but i enjoyed it | 22:38 |
| popey | daftykins: i need a new graphics card at some point | 23:01 |
| popey | wtf GTA 5 pushed back _again_ | 23:02 |
| daftykins | popey: what's the popey game machine rocking at the moment? | 23:02 |
| * popey wakes it up | 23:02 | |
| popey | something crusty | 23:02 |
| daftykins | :D | 23:03 |
| popey | GTX 460 IIRC | 23:03 |
| daftykins | mmmhmm, do you have any budget in mind? | 23:03 |
| daftykins | nvidia 960s or 970s seem pretty nifty | 23:03 |
| popey | Yes, GTX 460 | 23:03 |
| popey | will i be able to just pull the old card out and put a new one in? | 23:03 |
| popey | no additional PSU / mobo / cables etc? | 23:04 |
| daftykins | mmm depends if your one right now uses any PCI Express graphics power connectors from the PSU | 23:04 |
| daftykins | i'm not 100% on what power the 460s required | 23:04 |
| popey | yeah, will remove it from the pc at some point and examine it more closely | 23:05 |
| popey | my pc is not new / fast | 23:05 |
| popey | it works | 23:05 |
| daftykins | just an lspci entry should be plenty to go on? | 23:05 |
| popey | its in windows right now :) | 23:05 |
| daftykins | ah | 23:05 |
| daftykins | devmgmt.msc 8D | 23:05 |
| * webpigeon_ has a 660 in his | 23:05 | |
| * popey reboots it | 23:05 | |
| daftykins | appears to be £170~ for GTX 960s with 2GB, or ouch - £260+ for a GTX 970 4GB | 23:06 |
| popey | thats out of my budget | 23:06 |
| popey | I think no more than ~100 quid or so | 23:06 |
| daftykins | GTX 750 Ti then perhaps | 23:07 |
| popey | much of a step up from 460? | 23:07 |
| popey | worth it? | 23:07 |
| daftykins | lets pop them into the anandtech benchmarkerator | 23:07 |
| popey | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10607008/ is my pc | 23:09 |
| popey | crusty msi mobo MS-7680 | 23:09 |
| popey | i7-2600 @ 3.4GHz | 23:09 |
| daftykins | H61's a happy chappy, mmm 1155 sandybridge | 23:09 |
| daftykins | http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-750-Ti-vs-Nvidia-GTX-460/2187vs2167 | 23:10 |
| daftykins | hrmm | 23:10 |
| webpigeon_ | to be filled in my OEM is my favourite thing to see in dmidecode | 23:11 |
| daftykins | doesn't seem like too much of a jump actually, that might be too low a budget | 23:11 |
| daftykins | http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-750-Ti-vs-GeForce-GTX-460 | 23:11 |
| daftykins | http://anandtech.com/bench/product/1135?vs=1130 closest i could find there was the GTX 480 | 23:12 |
| popey | hmm | 23:16 |
| popey | might have to spend a bit more | 23:16 |
| daftykins | the 970 in comparison tramples even the 480 by a factor of 3 times higher framerates across the board, but is quite pricey - no entry in the table for the 960 sadly | 23:18 |
| daftykins | i think the 960 would be your best bet | 23:19 |
| daftykins | http://www.legitreviews.com/should-i-upgrade-my-geforce-gtx-460-to-a-geforce-gtx-960-video-card_157808/3 | 23:19 |
| daftykins | cor, as if by magic | 23:19 |
| directhex | i hav a 6600. this pc's had a few upgrades over the years | 23:19 |
| directhex | still needs replacement | 23:19 |
| directhex | er, 660 not 6600 | 23:20 |
| daftykins | directhex: would you concur on a 960 being a nice choice? | 23:20 |
| directhex | yeah, 960 is a good value card | 23:20 |
| directhex | 4 of them! quad sli! | 23:20 |
| daftykins | XD | 23:20 |
| popey | i doubt my mobo could take more than one :) | 23:22 |
| popey | oooh! | 23:22 |
| popey | It's my birthday soon! | 23:22 |
| popey | right, if someone else is buying (although it comes out of a joint account so technically I am buying) what card should I get :D | 23:23 |
| daftykins | http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=701&catid=1914&subid=2379 | 23:23 |
| daftykins | i like Asus ones i think | 23:23 |
| daftykins | i tend to just go with highest warranty | 23:23 |
| daftykins | hmm Zotac has 5 year | 23:24 |
| daftykins | i don't trust pre-overclocked cards though, always been burnt by those | 23:24 |
| popey | i had to replace the fans on this card | 23:24 |
| daftykins | do you recall the brand? | 23:29 |
| popey | i can probably find it in my past purchase history, one mo | 23:30 |
| === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away | ||
| popey | wifey asked me today if I wanted anything specifically on my amazon wishlist | 23:30 |
| daftykins | suddenly a graphics card appears as #1 :D | 23:30 |
| popey | 01de:0beb | 23:31 |
| popey | indeed! | 23:31 |
| popey | does the pci id reveal mfr? | 23:31 |
| popey | can't find the email | 23:31 |
| daftykins | i don't seem to be getting much from google | 23:32 |
| popey | http://uk.ign.com/articles/2015/01/13/gta-5-pc-release-date-and-system-specifications-announced says march 24 | 23:32 |
| popey | http://www.amazon.co.uk/Grand-Theft-Auto-V-PC/dp/B00KL3W478 says april 14 | 23:33 |
| daftykins | good ol' Rockstar, cashing in on the consoles most likely | 23:34 |
| webpigeon_ | before the : should be the vendor ID, but i can't find any data on the vendor | 23:36 |
| daftykins | mmm same | 23:36 |
| popey | probably some cheapo crap | 23:37 |
| popey | i only have one 1080p screen attached, most games i play run at that resolution with sufficient stuff turned on for me to be entertained | 23:38 |
| daftykins | yeah 2GB would be fine for that imo | 23:39 |
| daftykins | there's talk of 4GB 960s but i think that just tends to be a 'bigger number' trap, or only benefit 4K types | 23:39 |
| webpigeon_ | pointless anyway, opengl (used to, don't know if it still does) keep a copy of the texture in main memory anyway | 23:40 |
| popey | this box has uh.. 8GB i think | 23:44 |
| daftykins | i suspect we're firmly talking Direct3D for GTA V on PC | 23:44 |
| webpigeon_ | if it's on Windows only, probably | 23:45 |
| directhex | popey: in most cases, no, pci id doesn't say manuf | 23:47 |
| directhex | HOWEVER | 23:47 |
| directhex | subsystem id does. | 23:47 |
| popey | yeah, GTA V is windows only i think | 23:47 |
| directhex | "lspci -v" will show subsystem | 23:48 |
| daftykins | nice to know my lovely old Q6600 Core 2 Quad is now minimum spec :> | 23:48 |
| directhex | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK106 [GeForce GTX 660] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) | 23:48 |
| directhex | Subsystem: ZOTAC International (MCO) Ltd. Device 1281 | 23:48 |
| popey | ah interesting | 23:48 |
| directhex | 03:00.0 SATA controller: JMicron Technology Corp. JMB363 SATA/IDE Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 01 [AHCI 1.0]) | 23:49 |
| directhex | Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Motherboard | 23:49 |
| directhex | subsystems are exciting | 23:49 |
| ChloeWolfieGirl | popey so is Ori ;-; Windows and xbo exclusive so I dont get to play ;-; and MS must have paid to get some windows 8 and wp8 TY the tasmanian tiger exclusives... I miss TY ;-; | 23:50 |
| directhex | ori is a unity3d game, they could port it to linux in 2 clicks. ms paid for exclusivity | 23:50 |
| popey | oh, that worked | 23:50 |
| popey | Gigabyte | 23:50 |
| daftykins | ChloeWolfieGirl: i bought that \o/ | 23:50 |
| daftykins | very fun so far, but i've not had the time to go back | 23:51 |
| ChloeWolfieGirl | directhex, Its made by microsoft studios, the same people who made dust, so theres still hope :P | 23:51 |
| popey | I bought a game off humble bundle, turned out to be Mac (and iOS only). | 23:51 |
| directhex | not that simple | 23:51 |
| popey | I tweeted at the developer, my annoyance, and they gave me a code for iOS version of the game, which was nice of them. | 23:51 |
| directhex | *published* by microsoft game studios. developed by a small indie | 23:52 |
| directhex | generally, exclusivity involves bribes. | 23:52 |
| popey | yeah | 23:52 |
| popey | see also No Mans Sky | 23:52 |
| popey | :( | 23:52 |
| popey | So sad that's PS4 exclusive | 23:52 |
| ChloeWolfieGirl | daftykins I played a bit of it on the XBO, its so pretty and fun | 23:53 |
| daftykins | +1 to that :) | 23:53 |
| daftykins | alright time for bed, g'night all \o have a good week | 23:55 |
| diddledan | nn | 23:55 |
| ChloeWolfieGirl | nigh Nigh daftykins | 23:55 |
