| Kilos | morning all | 04:55 |
|---|---|---|
| Symmetria | heh | 04:57 |
| Symmetria | kilos wanna see something mindblowing | 04:57 |
| Symmetria | :) how are you btw | 04:57 |
| mazal | More oom | 04:57 |
| Kilos | im ok ty and you, i dont have data for vids | 04:57 |
| mazal | More Symmetria | 04:57 |
| Kilos | tell me about it | 04:57 |
| Kilos | hi mazal | 04:57 |
| Symmetria | http://www.speedtest.net/result/4507060258.png <==== look at that speed test, and forget where it was taken.... just think about this.... it was taken *OVER WIFI* | 04:57 |
| Kilos | oh thats ok | 04:58 |
| Symmetria | heh those are my new wifi AP's at home | 04:58 |
| mazal | Things like that just makes me angry | 04:58 |
| Kilos | wow | 04:58 |
| Symmetria | heh, I bought two AP's when I was in za on Monday | 04:59 |
| Symmetria | interestingly enough that is the fastest of the two, its a dlink | 04:59 |
| Symmetria | the other one I get around 450mbit up and down | 04:59 |
| Symmetria | (other one was cheaper, and is made by apple) | 04:59 |
| Kilos | d-link make good equipment | 04:59 |
| Symmetria | heh, so, recommendation | 04:59 |
| Symmetria | AC3200 D-Link | 04:59 |
| mazal | Here in SA we must just pay for everyone's greed and get no service for it | 04:59 |
| Symmetria | or Airport Extreme by Apple | 04:59 |
| Symmetria | either one of those are fantastic | 05:00 |
| Kilos | even the d-link usb modems are better | 05:00 |
| Symmetria | (but if you want that kinda wireless speed, that AC3200 is the only dlink that can do it, and they are pretty pricey) | 05:00 |
| Symmetria | one warning about 802.11ac though | 05:01 |
| Kilos | well here its useless having fast equipment unless you have ftth connection | 05:01 |
| Symmetria | it will *chew* battery on the client devices | 05:01 |
| Symmetria | kilos depends what you doing on your home network | 05:01 |
| Symmetria | if you moving stuff around your home network or trying to stream 4k video or something | 05:02 |
| Symmetria | :) | 05:02 |
| Kilos | oh ya for local | 05:02 |
| Symmetria | fast wifi is good | 05:02 |
| Kilos | local never was a prob, its our internet that sucks | 05:02 |
| Symmetria | heh but 802.11ac is so new that not THAT much supports it yet | 05:03 |
| Symmetria | like, macbooks have done since late 2013 | 05:03 |
| Symmetria | the S5 and S6 samsung phones support it | 05:03 |
| Symmetria | and the iphone 6 supports it | 05:03 |
| Symmetria | but beyond that, not a huge amount | 05:03 |
| * mazal waits for donkie kar server to restart | 05:04 | |
| stickyboy | Symmetria: \o/ | 05:19 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | mornings | 06:43 |
| Kilos | hi ThatGraemeGuy | 07:24 |
| Padroni | Morning all | 07:25 |
| Kilos | hi Padroni | 07:25 |
| Padroni | how are you? | 07:26 |
| Kilos | good ty and you? | 07:26 |
| Padroni | I am good | 07:26 |
| Padroni | just tired :/ | 07:26 |
| Kilos | again | 07:26 |
| Padroni | still | 07:26 |
| Padroni | my son is cutting teeth | 07:26 |
| Padroni | he wakes us between 4 and 8 times a night | 07:27 |
| Kilos | ouch | 07:27 |
| Padroni | so I have a grumpy baby and a grumpy wife | 07:27 |
| Padroni | because my life isn't complicated enough as it is | 07:28 |
| Kilos | lol | 07:28 |
| Padroni | bought me a nice 250Gb SSD earlier the week | 07:29 |
| Padroni | so gonna swop it out with the 128GB one I have in my laptop | 07:29 |
| Padroni | and move the 128 to my desktop | 07:29 |
| Kilos | nice | 07:33 |
| Padroni | these ssd's are fast | 07:38 |
| Padroni | 550Mb read / 530Mb write per second | 07:38 |
| Padroni | crazy | 07:38 |
| Padroni | read / write obviously not at once | 07:38 |
| Kilos | yeah when i tried one it flew | 07:39 |
| * mazal stares and a wheel that turns but nothing happens | 07:39 | |
| mazal | Hi Padroni | 07:39 |
| Padroni | hi mazal | 07:39 |
| Padroni | hoe gaan dit? | 07:39 |
| mazal | Besig maar goed dankie en daar ? | 07:39 |
| Padroni | same old, same old | 07:40 |
| Padroni | is there an effective way to move a user account (about 55GB) from one ubuntu install to another? | 07:40 |
| Padroni | or should I just copy over the data manually? | 07:40 |
| mazal | Same OS and flavour Padroni ? | 07:41 |
| Padroni | yeah, 'buntu 1404 | 07:41 |
| mazal | I wanted to say how I would do , but will probably be in the dogbox. Rather wait for the clever guys | 07:42 |
| mazal | Yay the wheel stopped turning !!!! That was only about 15 minutes to get a user's properties screen open :P | 07:43 |
| Padroni | whaaaaat? | 07:45 |
| Padroni | why so long? | 07:45 |
| Padroni | you runnign RAT via dial-up? | 07:45 |
| Padroni | gprs? | 07:45 |
| Padroni | Edge? | 07:45 |
| mazal | I am creating new users , on a MS AD domain , over a WAN that has only 1mb line , with 210 pc's on it currently all busy doing Win 7 updates | 07:45 |
| mazal | Patience is needed to say the least | 07:46 |
| Padroni | jeez | 07:46 |
| Padroni | my I ask | 07:46 |
| Padroni | would it not be better | 07:46 |
| Padroni | to have one pc download all updates | 07:46 |
| Padroni | and have all pc's update from that pc? | 07:46 |
| mazal | Not my choice remember | 07:47 |
| mazal | I must do the work , but may not make any choices or suggestions' | 07:47 |
| Padroni | Fucking management. They will be the death of us all. | 07:47 |
| Padroni | pardon my french | 07:47 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | ugh | 07:47 |
| mazal | Head Office set up the updates to ran from a server at their side | 07:47 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | why do you people let yourselves be stepped on like that | 07:47 |
| mazal | But non of the clowns thought about our poor bandwidth on the WAN | 07:47 |
| * Padroni is with ThatGraemeGuy on this | 07:48 | |
| mazal | Ok new user screen apeared , now I can continue for 5 minutes before I need to wait again lol | 07:48 |
| Padroni | how are you, ThatGraemeGuy? | 07:49 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | lekker thanks, you? | 07:50 |
| Padroni | stil | 07:51 |
| Padroni | tired but fine | 07:51 |
| Padroni | I am currently in the market for a new DSL provider. | 07:51 |
| Squirm | Morning | 07:51 |
| Padroni | Uncapped, with SSH / VPN services available, dedicated IP if possible, and not on the MTN backbone. | 07:51 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | if uncapped and you are willing to schedule heavy downloads between midnight and 08:00, crystalweb home premium | 07:51 |
| Padroni | For under R700 if possible. | 07:51 |
| Padroni | url? | 07:52 |
| Padroni | must not be on MTN backbone | 07:52 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | www.crystalweb.co.za | 07:52 |
| * mazal cicks the finish button and goes for a sb while wheel is turning | 07:52 | |
| Padroni | I am currently with Afrihost and their latency is f*cking with my SSH sessions | 07:52 |
| mazal | ^5 Padroni | 07:52 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | yeah afrihost has lost the plot | 07:52 |
| mazal | MTN backbone sucks | 07:52 |
| Padroni | 'they are working on it' | 07:52 |
| Padroni | in the mean time | 07:52 |
| Padroni | I have threatened Telkom with physical violence (went to their shop and threatened to shoot up the place) if they don't sort out my line | 07:53 |
| Padroni | had Telkom's guys come and replace the 50-core cable in my whole street in self defense | 07:53 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | for anyone else reading, please don't do that | 07:53 |
| Padroni | only to now find out it was Afrihost all along | 07:53 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | eish | 07:53 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | you know you can get a free 1GB account from just about anyone nowadays | 07:54 |
| Padroni | THIS is why I don't qualify for a firearm licence. | 07:54 |
| Padroni | I go through between 6 and 10Gb a day | 07:54 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | I have a bunch, if stuff starts acting up, I try a few others to see if its a telkom or isp issue | 07:54 |
| Padroni | 1Gb is not enough... | 07:54 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | 1gb is for testing, smarty pants | 07:54 |
| Padroni | I know | 07:54 |
| Padroni | but I am running a vpn via untangle | 07:55 |
| Padroni | such a schlep to change the settings all the time | 07:55 |
| Padroni | necessary evil though, I guess. | 07:55 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | if you need serious service and performance you ought to be paying for a business account anyway | 07:55 |
| Padroni | I am currently on a Afirhost business package | 07:55 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | well not with them, duh | 07:55 |
| Padroni | You'd think the service would be better | 07:56 |
| Padroni | You'd be wrong. | 07:56 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | no you wouldn't if you've been paying attention to the buzz in the industry :) | 07:56 |
| Padroni | I don't follow the buzz around dsl providers, to be honest | 07:56 |
| Padroni | my attention is on opsec and infosec | 07:56 |
| Padroni | so I am late to the party with this MTN thing | 07:56 |
| Padroni | "Click to run Adobe Flash Player" | 07:57 |
| Padroni | That makes me nervous... | 07:57 |
| mazal | Their issues started more than a year ago already | 08:03 |
| mazal | Then it was better for a while and the about a month ago things collapsed again | 08:03 |
| mazal | Closed my account at them completely | 08:03 |
| === Kilos- is now known as Kilos | ||
| ThatGraemeGuy | mazal: you've run ubuntu off an external disk before yes? | 08:19 |
| mazal | ThatGraemeGuy: Yep , for a long time | 08:25 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | what was on the internal drive when you did that? | 08:26 |
| mazal | Win 7 | 08:26 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | I've transplanted my O/S to external and installed grub there, but i suspect that when i boot its still loading grub from the internal hdd | 08:26 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | even if i specifically select external hdd as boot device | 08:27 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | although if i select Ubuntu on /dev/sda2 from grub menu, it loads my O/S from external just fine | 08:27 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | confused | 08:27 |
| mazal | You have grub on both drives ? | 08:28 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | yes | 08:28 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | I'm going to put windows 8 on the internal hdd but i don't want to do that until I'm sure that I'm booting completely independently from the external | 08:28 |
| mazal | But external can't be sda2 , should be sdb1 | 08:28 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | sorry it is, typo | 08:29 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | sdb2 | 08:29 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | sdb1 is an NTFS partition with stuff on it | 08:29 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | doesn't really matter though | 08:29 |
| mazal | All I can think is the grub install to sdb didn't install correct | 08:29 |
| mazal | OR UEFI is enabled | 08:29 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | let me see if i can disable the internal hdd in bios maybe | 08:29 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | not UEFI not currently enabled, but will be for win 8 | 08:30 |
| mazal | hmmm | 08:30 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | will external not work then? this UEFI stuff is beyond me | 08:30 |
| mazal | Try disble internal , just to test external's grub | 08:30 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | yeah let me do that quickly | 08:30 |
| mazal | And by "transplanted" you mean ? Fresh install or something else ? | 08:32 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | nope, refuses to boot from external | 08:34 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | well refuses to load grub from it anyway | 08:34 |
| mazal | ^^ previous question | 08:35 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | transplanted: booted livecd, rsync data from /dev/sda1->/dev/sdb2 and /dev/sda5->/dev/sdb3 | 08:35 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | / and /home, respectively | 08:35 |
| mazal | Did you remember to check grub.cong UUID's | 08:35 |
| mazal | Sometime , even after grub install the UUID's still point to wrong drive in grub.conf | 08:36 |
| mazal | It might have the source's config still | 08:36 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | then mount / and /home of the external, bind mount /dev /proc /sys /run, chroot into external hdd, update-initramfs -k all -u, update-grub, grub-install /dev/sdb | 08:36 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | update-grub fixes that | 08:36 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | and if that were the case then I would not be able to boot it at all | 08:36 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | this is simply that grub does not load from the external hdd for some reason | 08:37 |
| mazal | and the obvious " boot from usb" in bios is enabled ne ? | 08:37 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | its the only device enabled for booting | 08:37 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | no grub | 08:37 |
| mazal | damn | 08:37 |
| mazal | Size of external ? | 08:38 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | 1TB | 08:38 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | relevance? | 08:38 |
| mazal | Do you have seperate /boot partition ? | 08:38 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | no | 08:38 |
| mazal | One of my 1TB's refused to boot external until I made /boot seperate 2gig partition | 08:38 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | seems unnecessary | 08:39 |
| mazal | Was only on a laptop | 08:39 |
| mazal | And was the only thing that fixed it | 08:39 |
| mazal | Booted fine on desktop pc , refused on laptop , then tried that and worked | 08:39 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | meh | 08:39 |
| mazal | I don't know why | 08:40 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | I'm done, will do it some other way some other time | 08:40 |
| mazal | Is the only thing I can think of , otherwise you covered all bases | 08:40 |
| mazal | Try boot it from a desktop pc and see what happens | 08:40 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | partitions same size on external as on internal, that doesn't make sense | 08:44 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | I'm done, back in internal | 08:44 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | will tackle this another day | 08:44 |
| mazal | Do you need that Win 8 btw ? | 08:46 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | need to get to grips with this UEFI business | 08:46 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | yes, the laptop came with Win 8 in UEFI mode, so the product key is embeded in the firmware | 08:46 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | and you must install in UEFI mode to make use of it | 08:46 |
| mazal | Bloody MS | 08:47 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | if you try and install Win 8 in BIOS mode, and provide the extracted key, it will supposedly reject the key | 08:47 |
| mazal | I hate that MS crap | 08:47 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | so I need to fully re-do the laptop, including installing Ubuntu in UEFI mode too | 08:47 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | UEFI isn't MS crap it was developed by a consortium of 140-odd tech companies | 08:48 |
| mazal | I was reffering to the keys and moeny side | 08:48 |
| mazal | But they probably have no choice with all the pirating | 08:49 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | maybe I can figure out why that software won't work in a VM | 08:52 |
| MaNI | what error does it give? :) | 09:14 |
| Padroni | ThatGraemeGuy: what do you use for VM's? | 09:16 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | MaNI: its supposed to install a driver, which it doesn't seem to do for some readon | 09:17 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | reason | 09:17 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | Padroni: virtualbox | 09:17 |
| Padroni | thought so | 09:18 |
| Padroni | me too | 09:18 |
| Padroni | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SpQ1fRQAto | 09:19 |
| Padroni | That looks nice though | 09:19 |
| Padroni | Xenserver setup. | 09:19 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | going to try vmware, perhaps it maps usb devices to guests differently | 09:19 |
| Padroni | vm is paid-for software, is it not? | 09:19 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | vmware player is free | 09:20 |
| Padroni | but it is also enterprise level virtualization | 09:20 |
| Padroni | hmmm | 09:20 |
| Padroni | which is the best ? | 09:20 |
| MaNI | kvm :) | 09:20 |
| Padroni | don't have any experience with vmware yet | 09:20 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | "enterprise level virtualization" is meaningless marketing speak | 09:20 |
| Padroni | I don't know of any big companies using virtualbox | 09:21 |
| Padroni | that is what I meant | 09:21 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | vmware is a company too, not a product | 09:21 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | they have products that cover the entire spectrum | 09:22 |
| Padroni | I am talking about their products... | 09:22 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | and vmware player is probably the simplest of the lot | 09:22 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | its more or less equivalent to virtualbox | 09:22 |
| MaNI | virtualbox - (just checking) you have tried setting a direct passthrough for the usb device in question, right? | 09:22 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | is that where i map it to the vm in it's settings, rather than just connecting it on-the-fly using the device menu? | 09:23 |
| MaNI | yeah | 09:24 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | yeah, did that | 09:24 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | it sees the device in device manager but it comes up as an onrecognised USBMS device for which it can't find a driver | 09:25 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | so I guess there's some translation happening at the usb layer rather than a real untainted pass-thru | 09:25 |
| MaNI | :/ | 09:26 |
| mazal | Maaz you know what I want now | 09:59 |
| Maaz | mazal: *blink* | 09:59 |
| mazal | Maaz food | 09:59 |
| Maaz | mazal: Excuse me? | 09:59 |
| Padroni | I have to run | 11:06 |
| Private_User | good day all | 11:06 |
| Padroni | laters folks | 11:07 |
| Padroni | hi Private_User | 11:07 |
| Private_User | hi Padroni | 11:07 |
| Private_User | does anybody know what terminology is used to describe when you combine like multiple machines to create one huge powerful machine? | 11:08 |
| Private_User | my friend has like 4 desktops and he wants to try that but not sure what to google for | 11:08 |
| Kilos | Private_User peeps used the rasberry pi to do it and there is a diadram somewhere online | 11:10 |
| Private_User | thanks Kilos | 11:11 |
| Private_User | but only 1 question, what is a diadram? | 11:11 |
| Private_User | lol | 11:11 |
| Private_User | I am assuming you mean diagram? | 11:11 |
| Kilos | i cant remember what i even googled at the time | 11:11 |
| Kilos | ya that thing | 11:11 |
| Kilos | http://www.pcauthority.com.au/Feature/306972,weekend-project-build-your-own-supercomputer.aspx | 11:12 |
| Kilos | maybe something like that | 11:12 |
| MaNI | cluster | 11:16 |
| Private_User | thanks Kilos, I will send him the above link he can read up further | 11:16 |
| Kilos | there are many | 11:16 |
| Kilos | just gppgle how to connected many computers to build a super computer | 11:17 |
| MaNI | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cluster | 11:18 |
| Private_User | thanks MaNI | 11:19 |
| Private_User | I sent him both links he can read | 11:20 |
| Private_User | hehe | 11:20 |
| Kilos | ty MaNI | 11:20 |
| MaNI | in his case seeing as he only has 4 hes probably more interested in beowulf clusters or similar than supercomputer ones :p | 11:20 |
| mazal | I must still try the multi screen thing | 11:46 |
| mazal | **sigh** Many things I must still try | 11:46 |
| * Kilos reading http://cs.boisestate.edu/~amit/research/beowulf/beowulf-setup.pdf | 12:05 | |
| Kilos | Private_User let him look here too https://www.linux.com/community/blogs/133-general-linux/9401 | 12:12 |
| Private_User | thanks Kilos, I sent him the links, he needs to read up now we cannot read for him | 12:24 |
| Private_User | hehe | 12:24 |
| Private_User | mazal: I hear you many things I need to not only try but do #procrastination | 12:25 |
| Private_User | lol | 12:25 |
| Kilos | also tell him google is his friend Private_User | 12:29 |
| Kilos | google is everyones friend but mine | 12:29 |
| Kilos | MaNI ty for the beowulf info | 12:29 |
| MaNI | not to be confused with the poem/movie :p | 12:31 |
| Kilos | tempted to try 2 dual core pcs | 12:31 |
| mazal | Time to caal it a day | 12:36 |
| mazal | call* | 12:36 |
| Kilos | its a day | 12:36 |

| MaNL | Kilos, Any idea what south africans call http://www.solarpanelstore.com/solar-power.elec-parts.ilsco-lugs.html by any chance? The american term "grounding lug" does not seem to bring much joy when searching | 18:49 |
| Kilos | lemme see | 18:50 |
| === MaNL is now known as MaNI | ||
| Kilos | grounding is normally your earth | 18:51 |
| MaNI | yeah | 18:52 |
| Kilos | those things are what eskom use for joining different cables | 18:53 |
| MaNI | they're special connectors for earthing, because you can't put copper earth wire directly on aluminium, and also just because its more secure to have a proper connector :p | 18:53 |
| Kilos | ya | 18:54 |
| magespawn | MaNI: grounding block | 18:54 |
| MaNI | I assume such a thing must exist locally, so it must have some south african name that I don't know :p | 18:54 |
| Kilos | oh | 18:54 |
| MaNI | hrm, maybe | 18:55 |
| Kilos | ya eskom use the an city electrical places' | 18:56 |
| MaNI | except blocks are usually for multiple wires | 18:57 |
| Kilos | likt i have 2 here i think that tswane electric left behind | 18:57 |
| MaNI | I guess I could saw one into pieces if I get desperate | 18:58 |
| mazal | Night everyone , sleep well | 19:03 |
| Kilos | anyone got contacts for a battery for a lenovo t410 thinkpad | 19:22 |
| Kilos | i only find prices of around r1400 | 19:22 |
| Kilos | that way too much for me | 19:22 |
| MaNI | yikes | 19:32 |
| MaNI | did you try searching by the barcode on the battery pack? often find cheaper generics that way | 19:32 |
| Kilos | lemme try get that info from ian' | 19:36 |
| Kilos | ty MaNI | 19:36 |
| Kilos | he has the lappy for me but battery stuffed | 19:37 |
| magespawn | that should not be a problem, you can run it from the power | 19:38 |
| MaNI | only a problem if you want to use it on the move, or during loadshedding :p | 19:38 |
| Kilos | i only want the think for when i have a meeting and load shedding | 19:38 |
| Kilos | i dont like laptops | 19:39 |
| Kilos | so its just a backup | 19:39 |
| magespawn | ahh right | 19:40 |
| magespawn | i have not really used a desktop in awhile | 19:41 |
| Kilos | hehe | 19:41 |

| Kilos | big storm in rustenburg | 20:32 |
| Kilos | MaNI does this barcode make sense - 11s42t4796z1zjpf15g28w 2011.05 | 20:35 |
| Kilos | i have no idea how to google with that | 20:37 |
| Kilos | for that | 20:38 |
| MaNI | no don't think so | 20:47 |
| MaNI | check enxt to it for a serial number | 20:47 |
| MaNI | or part number | 20:47 |
| Kilos | ok ill ask | 20:47 |
| MaNI | like on mine it has: part number GCR-B/984 | 20:48 |
| MaNI | if I google that I'll usually et far more direct hits than if I google "battery for HP compaq xxxx" | 20:48 |
| Kilos | ok ty | 20:48 |
| MaNI | as a last resort you could also look for someone who does 'repacking' - i.e. opening up the case and replacing the cells inside instead of buying a new pack, if you can find somewhere reasonable | 20:49 |
| Kilos | ok ty ill keep trying | 20:50 |
| MaNI | laptop batteries are a real pain :/ | 20:50 |
| Kilos | he gave this n14608 | 20:51 |
| Kilos | and this | 20:53 |
| Kilos | FRU P/N 42T4911 | 20:53 |
| Kilos | ASM P/N 42T4796 | 20:53 |
| * Kilos googles | 20:53 | |
| MaNI | that seems more like it :p | 21:17 |
| MaNI | http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/192147475/Dtk_New_Laptop_Battery_Replacement_for_Lenovo_Ibm_Thinkpad_W530_W530i_L430_7800MAH_9CELLS.html <- not great but beats the original price | 21:18 |
| Kilos | lemme see | 21:21 |
| Kilos | what a job | 21:21 |
| Kilos | wow taking forever to open | 21:22 |
| Kilos | says webpage not available | 21:23 |
| Kilos | murphy is back again | 21:23 |
| MaNI | or grab one off aliexpress for ~$20 (probably double that after taxes) if you can afford to wait a month or two :p | 21:24 |
| MaNI | strange, bidorbuy link works for me | 21:24 |
| Kilos | something wrong here , tried on 2 browsers | 21:25 |
