| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:46 |
| zmoylan-pi | greetings mammals, reptiles, amphibians, bacteria. but not viruses... | 09:57 |
| brobostigon | morning zmoylan-pi | 10:04 |
| zmoylan-pi | so has everyone stuffed their faces with easter eggs? | 12:22 |
| brobostigon | no. | 12:29 |
| zmoylan-pi | holding out till tomorrow when they'll all be on sale? :-P | 12:42 |
| brobostigon | nah, i dont get chocolate eggs, due to being allergic to cows milk. | 12:44 |
| zmoylan-pi | no chocolate at all... | 12:45 |
| brobostigon | they do make chocolate with soya milk/ | 12:45 |
| zmoylan-pi | hands up those who think that is chocolate... :-) | 12:48 |
| shauno | I don't do easter eggs because it feels like there's some rule against buying them for yourself :) | 12:50 |
| zmoylan-pi | that's why you buy a few for friends and accidently have one left over... :-) | 12:51 |
| brobostigon | :) | 12:53 |
| shauno | I did go out to the aran islands though, so the 'holiday weekend' doesn't feel like a complete wash | 12:54 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's a desolate barren wasteland... :-) | 12:54 |
| shauno | ah it's fun to go cycle around. and I met some rather enthusiastic folk from saskatchewan | 12:56 |
| zmoylan-pi | is it this weekend they have the fr. ted celebration there? | 12:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | ah, last month | 12:59 |
| Myrtti | the best usage for a 4K display: watching youtube videos of frying bacon. | 16:49 |
| Myrtti | well, actually I disagree, the best video so far was mini cooking | 16:49 |
| Myrtti | pocket cooking 4k | 16:54 |
| m0nkey_ | He likes his new toy, huh? | 17:00 |
| diddledan | I want new toys | 17:03 |
| Myrtti | he does. | 17:03 |
| m0nkey_ | I'm waiting for my new PC parts to be delivered. Hopefully they're show up tomorrow. | 17:03 |
| diddledan | bank holiday here tomorrow | 17:04 |
| m0nkey_ | Not here | 17:04 |
| m0nkey_ | UPS is open tomorrow. | 17:04 |
| diddledan | bloomin foreigners :-p | 17:04 |
| Myrtti | expats | 17:04 |
| Myrtti | or emigrants | 17:04 |
| diddledan | same diff :-D | 17:04 |
| diddledan | treehee | 17:04 |
| * m0nkey_ drools thinking about his i5 and GTX960 | 17:04 | |
| diddledan | grr | 17:05 |
| diddledan | I do fancy myself a titan-x | 17:05 |
| diddledan | overkill somewhat methinks :-p | 17:05 |
| m0nkey_ | This is everything I ordered. Minus the Windows license.. http://secure.newegg.ca/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=20107689 | 17:06 |
| m0nkey_ | Also, didn't get the RAM or Blu-ray.. Have RAM, have a DVD-burner I'm going to use in the mean time. | 17:06 |
| zmoylan-pi | no floppy drive? :-) | 17:07 |
| diddledan | I don't suppose ther mobo has an FDC | 17:07 |
| zmoylan-pi | 5.25" just to confuse people... | 17:07 |
| m0nkey_ | Only SATA. IDE and AT connections are surprisingly absent. | 17:07 |
| zmoylan-pi | not connected or anything, just in the front of the case connected to power so it lights up... | 17:08 |
| directhex | it's 2015. | 17:08 |
| diddledan | I've got a 5.25" fdd in my c2q machine | 17:08 |
| zmoylan-pi | so no punch cards!! :-P | 17:08 |
| directhex | including an IDE connector involves adding an entire PCI bus, to add a PCI IDE controller | 17:08 |
| m0nkey_ | I think I went a little overboard with a 500GB SSD :) | 17:09 |
| zmoylan-pi | when you could have gotten a 4tb hdd cheaper... :-) | 17:10 |
| diddledan | I've got an evo 1TB in my desktop | 17:10 |
| m0nkey_ | Heh, that's what the NAS is for. | 17:10 |
| m0nkey_ | Got 4x2TB drives in that | 17:10 |
| directhex | all of which are discontinued now anyway | 17:10 |
| shauno | I was actually just looking at a NAS. I'm not entirely clear on what Synology are trying to do? | 17:26 |
| shauno | they seem to have a good reputation, but it says it has a dhcp server but not a dhcp client, vpn support, etc .. it seems like it's trying to be more than a disk in a box? | 17:26 |
| zmoylan-pi | i think all the nas try to be more than a nas these days. | 17:27 |
| zmoylan-pi | a cpu with delusions of server | 17:28 |
| m0nkey_ | shauno, built my own running FreeNAS | 17:30 |
| m0nkey_ | Depends on how much you want to spend. Yeah, you could spend a crap load on a Synology or QNAP, or it could work out cheaper to build your own. For me, it was the latter. | 17:31 |
| m0nkey_ | Got an E3 Xeon, 16GB ECC, 4x2TB for about the price of a fully loaded Synology. | 17:32 |
| shauno | I was looking at that, but the mythical cheap hp microservers don't seem to exist here | 17:32 |
| m0nkey_ | Wow, the british pound is a rip-off right now. | 17:33 |
| m0nkey_ | Same box over here is under $400 .. http://www.ebuyer.com/670719-lenovo-thinkserver-ts140-4gb-xeon-e3-1226-v3-3-3ghz-1tb-hdd-tower-server-70a50022uk | 17:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | strong currency = less exports but great if you want to go on holiday | 17:34 |
| m0nkey_ | This is another box popular with FreeNAS. http://www.ebuyer.com/517760-hp-proliant-gen8-g1610t-microserver-712317-421 | 17:34 |
| shauno | yeah, that's the one I was looking at. the irish price is quite a bit higher lol | 17:35 |
| zmoylan-pi | might have a look around dublin for pi 2 again, and pick up more ammo for my nerfs | 17:35 |
| m0nkey_ | I forgot you're in Ireland now. | 17:35 |
| shauno | HP list it starting over 500e :/ | 17:36 |
| diddledan | ooh, the microserver has cashback again | 17:36 |
| shauno | yeah. that's the other catch. the cashback thing doesn't run very often here. not since christmas 2013 :/ | 17:37 |
| diddledan | 119.99 is an awesome deal | 17:37 |
| shauno | and ebuyer don't deliver to ireland anymore because they're still stamping their feet over the VAT thing :/ | 17:37 |
| diddledan | grr | 17:37 |
| m0nkey_ | shauno, don't you get the 1 quid trips to the UK? :) | 17:39 |
| shauno | heh, that wouldn't help much .. everything's mail-order these days | 17:40 |
| shauno | (and HP won't honor the £100 cashback thing here, you have to wait until the irish version is running) | 17:40 |
| mapps | argh | 17:41 |
| mapps | i set windows to 'do nothing' when i plug in my android phone..now i cant get it to show the phone as a usb mass storage device..ow can i reset that so when i plug the phone in it opens the drive up in a folder view | 17:41 |
| mapps | grmpf | 17:44 |
| diddledan | phones don't default to mass storag3e mode | 17:44 |
| diddledan | if it's android you need to select the option from the notifications dropdown | 17:45 |
| mapps | im on windows8..i cant see that | 17:45 |
| diddledan | pulldown** | 17:45 |
| mapps | diddledan i mean before whe ni plugged the phone in it came up asking what to do | 17:45 |
| mapps | i chose do nothing | 17:45 |
| mapps | oops:P | 17:45 |
| diddledan | on the phone, not in windows | 17:46 |
| mapps | yea | 17:46 |
| mapps | i get what you mean therebut when you plug a phone into a windows machine it has that popup remember saying what do you want to do | 17:46 |
| mapps | open files etc | 17:46 |
| diddledan | yes I know | 17:47 |
| diddledan | that won't magically put the phone in mass storage mode tho | 17:47 |
| mapps | yea i went to storag and ie ticked media device (mtp) | 17:47 |
| mapps | but it still doesnt show in windows..it doesnt bring that window up since i clicked do nothing | 17:47 |
| diddledan | tried using explorer? | 17:48 |
| mapps | yep | 17:48 |
| diddledan | 'cos if it's mounted you'll see it there | 17:48 |
| diddledan | if it ain't then windows doesn't kno9w what it is | 17:48 |
| mapps | yea | 17:49 |
| mapps | because i selected do nothing no? | 17:49 |
| mapps | gah | 17:49 |
| mapps | this sucks | 17:49 |
| diddledan | no | 17:49 |
| zmoylan-pi | the flaw as i see it is you're using windows... :-) | 17:49 |
| mapps | well it's set asmedia device (mtp) on the phone | 17:49 |
| diddledan | do nothing just tells it not to open new windows | 17:49 |
| diddledan | it'll still mount if it would have shown you that prompt but doesn't because you said not to | 17:50 |
| diddledan | mtp isn't mass storage | 17:50 |
| mapps | thought it was | 17:51 |
| mapps | well then how do i set it as mass storage | 17:51 |
| diddledan | mtp is a shim because the phone would need to unmount to allow the computer exclusiver access | 17:51 |
| mapps | i only see | 17:51 |
| mapps | mtp or ptp] | 17:51 |
| diddledan | ptp is for photos | 17:52 |
| diddledan | mtp is for music | 17:52 |
| mapps | ya | 17:52 |
| mapps | wheres mass storage option then i see nothing | 17:52 |
| diddledan | tried prodding the mtp notice? | 17:53 |
| mapps | notice? i ticked the tickbox on the android settings and nothing else happens;) | 17:53 |
| diddledan | have you even looked in the notifications pulldoiwn that I said to at the beginning? | 17:54 |
| mapps | yea | 17:54 |
| mapps | nothing there | 17:54 |
| diddledan | there should be a notice that usb is connected | 17:54 |
| mapps | honestly nothing | 17:55 |
| diddledan | if there isn't then usb isn't connected | 17:55 |
| mapps | its connected to the laptop | 17:55 |
| mapps | but no notification | 17:55 |
| mapps | aha | 17:56 |
| mapps | now it says connected as camera | 17:56 |
| mapps | yay its working again:DDD | 17:56 |
| diddledan | what did you change? | 17:56 |
| mapps | just unplugged cvable a few times | 17:57 |
| mapps | maybe its just a dodgy cable;/ | 17:57 |
| zmoylan-pi | and logged in as nsa... :-) | 17:57 |
| mapps | altho it did make the noise that a usb device was plugged in | 17:57 |
| mapps | but its connected as a media device | 17:59 |
| mapps | so i cant transfer files | 17:59 |
| mapps | lol | 17:59 |
| directhex | you can do mostly arbitrary file transfer over MTP | 18:01 |
| mapps | hm | 18:01 |
| directhex | but iirc MSC as an option is gone in stock android | 18:01 |
| mapps | yea it is | 18:01 |
| mapps | im just getting pesky errors | 18:01 |
| mapps | device is disconnected or not responding but i can browse the fs | 18:01 |
| mapps | and i can use the phone so it is working;) | 18:01 |
| popey | \o/ mtp | 18:14 |
| dogmatic69_ | eh, you can get steam gift cards at tesco now | 18:40 |
| penguin42 | blade runner is still a great film | 19:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | which version? :-) | 19:44 |
| penguin42 | final, just seen it in a cinema | 19:45 |
| zmoylan-pi | yeah, saw it had been rereleased, have it on dvd but might make a pilgramage to see it on big screen | 19:46 |
| penguin42 | yeh, always wanted to see it on the big screen | 19:48 |
| zmoylan-pi | with good sound system for vangelis soundtrack | 19:48 |
| penguin42 | yes, excellent - and it was digital projection | 19:49 |
| zmoylan-pi | like 2001 before it set the standard by which scifi was measured and still has resonance today | 19:51 |
| penguin42 | nod | 19:52 |
| zmoylan-pi | and considering it was done before cgi the effects were excellent | 19:52 |
| penguin42 | actually the cityscapes work great on the big screen which really shows you how well done it is | 19:53 |
| shauno | silly question, but does steam still work for everyone else? | 21:52 |
| popey | wfm | 21:54 |
| shauno | hm. I keep getting "cannot connect to the steam network" | 21:55 |
| popey | lemme close / reopen it | 21:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | maybe a ddos? | 21:55 |
| popey | hah | 21:55 |
| popey | you bast | 21:55 |
| popey | I can't connect now :) | 21:55 |
| shauno | lol, you're welcome | 21:56 |
| popey | re-entered my pw and its back in | 21:56 |
| shauno | this is the problem I'm having. I don't know my password. and the recovery bit seems even more out-of-service than the login bit | 21:56 |
| popey | i spy bigcalm playing games | 21:56 |
| bigcalm | Is Steam telling tails? | 21:59 |
| popey | ya | 22:00 |
| bigcalm | Hopefully it will be saying that I'm playing GTA V on the 14th | 22:01 |
| bigcalm | E_TOO_MUCH_CHOCOLATE | 22:02 |
| * bigcalm wanders off to his Easter coma | 22:02 | |
| diddledan | well done, bigcalm | 22:04 |
| * penguin42 isn't sure such an overflow condition is possible | 22:06 | |
| * bashrc has not consumed much chocolate | 22:09 | |
| Myrtti | our Cities started crashing and got it working by putting Steam on offline mode. | 22:12 |
| Myrtti | that was weird | 22:12 |
| Myrtti | happened few hours ago tho | 22:12 |
| zmoylan-pi | i had some cheap choccy digestives with coffee earlier. was never into easter eggs, they always seem such bad value | 22:12 |
| penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: That's why I start hunting them on Tuesday | 22:12 |
| Myrtti | zmoylan-pi: oh you should try the Finnish Mignon eggs | 22:12 |
| zmoylan-pi | be careful, a cornered easter egg is dangerous... :-) | 22:12 |
| Myrtti | unless you're allergic to eggs or hazelnuts | 22:12 |
| penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: I can imagine, they're not used to corners | 22:13 |
| Myrtti | too bad they can't really be found anywhere | 22:13 |
| zmoylan-pi | i used to like kinder eggs but the toys in them over the last decade have gotten terrible | 22:13 |
| Myrtti | mignon eggs are hazelnut nougat filled real eggshells | 22:13 |
| Myrtti | it's like five tablespoons of solid Nutella | 22:14 |
| Myrtti | well actually it's tastes even better than Nutella | 22:14 |
| zmoylan-pi | used to be you got tiny parts to assemble but health and safety eliminated those | 22:14 |
| zmoylan-pi | and they changed the recipie of cadbury creme eggs | 22:16 |
| popey | 23:01 < bigcalm> Hopefully it will be saying that I'm playing GTA V on the 14th | 22:20 |
| popey | same | 22:20 |
| popey | I may take the day off | 22:20 |
| popey | assuming it downloads ahead of time | 22:20 |
| popey | also need to consider a new video card | 22:20 |
| m0nkey_ | PCMR still don't have GTA V? | 22:28 |
| popey | yeah, 9 days | 22:31 |
| m0nkey_ | Heh, I've played through it twice. Once on PS3, then again on PS4. In fact, still play online on PS4. Great fun, you're going to love it! | 22:32 |
| m0nkey_ | I may even triple dip and get for PC too | 22:32 |
| popey | :) | 22:33 |
| popey | I've not played at all | 22:33 |
| popey | Just watched quite a lot of youtubers playing it | 22:33 |
| m0nkey_ | Seriously, you're in for a treat! | 22:33 |
| popey | \o/ | 22:34 |
| m0nkey_ | It's fantastic on PS4, can only imaging what it'll be like on PC. | 22:34 |
| * m0nkey_ 's PC parts should arrive tomorrow | 22:34 | |
| popey | I have not pre-ordered on steam before | 22:34 |
| popey | what video card you getting / got? | 22:34 |
| m0nkey_ | Erm.. | 22:34 |
| m0nkey_ | ASUS Strix GTX 960 | 22:34 |
| * popey adds to list to look at | 22:35 | |
| m0nkey_ | All of this: http://secure.newegg.ca/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=20107689 | 22:35 |
| m0nkey_ | Minus the RAM, Win8.1 and Blu-ray | 22:35 |
| m0nkey_ | I have RAM, I have a DVD-writer. They can wait to be upgraded. | 22:36 |
| popey | i5, interesting | 22:36 |
| m0nkey_ | The Strix GTX960 is supposed to be almost silent. | 22:36 |
| m0nkey_ | Fans only come on under heavy load | 22:36 |
| m0nkey_ | PSU is also silent | 22:36 |
| popey | is this to go under telly? | 22:36 |
| popey | i like the case | 22:37 |
| m0nkey_ | Nope, but it is in the living room, so I want it to be quiet. | 22:37 |
| m0nkey_ | They case is gorgeous! I have that part already. | 22:37 |
| popey | wise | 22:37 |
| popey | ooh, bed time | 22:37 |
| popey | will look at that in the morning, thanks! | 22:37 |
| m0nkey_ | All vents have dust guards | 22:37 |
| m0nkey_ | I may get a 240mm radiator for CPU liquid cooling, but going to start off with stock. | 22:39 |
| penguin42 | I found the stock i7 cooler on my i7-860 (5 years old now ish) was awful - CPU hit 90c, put a decent fan on and it never blinks | 22:41 |
| m0nkey_ | Hmm, Windows 8.1 is $107. It appears to have gone down $12. | 22:46 |
| m0nkey_ | Going to need a Windows license for my Windows only gaming :/ | 22:46 |
| zmoylan-pi | could surround the case with cushions for sound dampening... finally a use for cushions... :-) | 22:49 |
| zmoylan-pi | does a windows licence give you the right to hunt a windows pc? :-P | 22:50 |
| m0nkey_ | Something like that | 22:50 |
| webpigeon | Careful it's not an upgrade licence or something | 22:51 |
| m0nkey_ | It's a retail license | 22:52 |
| m0nkey_ | Direct from the MS store | 22:52 |
| daftykins | m0nkey_: hrmm i wouldn't bother if i were you :P | 23:50 |
| daftykins | the pirates are getting 10 free! :) | 23:50 |
| m0nkey_ | meh | 23:51 |
| m0nkey_ | there's got to be a catch | 23:51 |
| daftykins | it is possible that they'll charge a nominal fee, but they've been quite vague about it so far | 23:52 |
| zmoylan-pi | suspiciously vague | 23:53 |
| m0nkey_ | to be fair, I don't mind paying. had I still be at home, living with my parents, then yeah.. I'd pirate it. But today, I don't mind paying for software where it's warranted. | 23:53 |
| daftykins | :) | 23:53 |
| daftykins | i've always bought Windows when there's been a good new version | 23:54 |
| daftykins | XP back in the day, then 7 | 23:54 |
| m0nkey_ | I'm probably the only person in the world that has a legal Office 2010 license | 23:54 |
| daftykins | i did foolishly get the £20 win8 upgrade but i somewhat regret that | 23:54 |
| daftykins | haha | 23:54 |
| zmoylan-pi | windows for workgroups 3.11 :-) | 23:54 |
| m0nkey_ | I think 8.1 is pretty good. | 23:54 |
| zmoylan-pi | peer to peer networking, printer sharing... | 23:54 |
| m0nkey_ | I bought Windows 7 back when, I bought Windows 8 upgrade when they did the promo. 8 sucked, 8.1 is pretty good. | 23:55 |
| daftykins | i'm still not very fond since if i lay my finger down on the centre-right of the touchpad, it brings up the charms menu | 23:55 |
| === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away | ||
| daftykins | i'm sure there are ways to stop the kinda 'hot zones' but i'm still not fond | 23:56 |
| zmoylan-pi | charms on windows 8 was unusable, i think they've eliminated them on 10 | 23:56 |
| m0nkey_ | anywho.. Win10 will be a free upgrade | 23:56 |
| daftykins | seems that way yeah | 23:56 |
| m0nkey_ | So, I either buy 8.1 now, or wait till July. | 23:57 |
| daftykins | indeed! i'm feeling oddly quite excited about 10 | 23:57 |
| daftykins | right time to get some food on :P | 23:57 |
| m0nkey_ | the tech preview is actually pretty good | 23:57 |
