| popey | yo | 09:47 |
| bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 10:10 |
| Azelphur | popey: I kinda went overboard with this thing, https://dpaste.de/2jv0 this is running on the router now :) | 18:33 |
| Azelphur | should work on any router that can run Python and has /proc/net/dev (which I think is pretty much any router that you can ssh into) | 18:34 |
| daftykins | https://www.dropbox.com/s/ff8u8tf1vry58md/IMG_20150913_200045.jpg?dl=0 | 19:04 |
| daftykins | that's quite some traffic on my xbox one, 570GB since October of last | 19:04 |
| popey | Azelphur: http://i.imgur.com/S4i3JDl.png | 19:19 |
| penguin42 | popey: What provider are you on? | 19:22 |
| Azelphur | popey: :) | 19:22 |
| popey | penguin42: vm | 19:22 |
| penguin42 | popey: Do you think you're hitting the throttling stuff that kicks in if you go over the limit in one hour where they slow you down for the next period? | 19:23 |
| popey | I don't know what's causing it. | 19:23 |
| popey | I don't think I do anything especially at that time. | 19:23 |
| * penguin42 notes his ping time to google has doubled since about 6pm on Virgin, not sure if they're having problems or it's to do with the 5GB of updates I pulled | 19:24 | |
| popey | If I post a phone which is switched on and unlocked to myself, do you think the gps will be able to track it much? | 19:27 |
| daftykins | worth a try :D | 19:27 |
| penguin42 | depends where it is and if it's bothered to use the GPS | 19:27 |
| penguin42 | for an android phone the location history is worth a check | 19:28 |
| mapps | hmm | 19:28 |
| mapps | i think yes | 19:28 |
| popey | maybe pack a battery in the box too, to make sure it stays alive | 19:28 |
| popey | for fun | 19:29 |
| penguin42 | http://i.imgur.com/bXtkGXm.png ping time to google definitely a bit longer than normal | 19:29 |
| popey | you on vm too? | 19:29 |
| penguin42 | popey: Yep | 19:29 |
| penguin42 | popey: On their bottom end 50/3 | 19:29 |
| popey | https://webmonkeyuk.wordpress.com/2012/01/26/putting-a-gps-tracker-in-the-mail/ | 19:31 |
| penguin42 | popey: It would be fun to gather an accelerometer trace as well as GPS | 19:32 |
| popey | hah, yes | 19:33 |
| penguin42 | popey: Both to see how it's been thrown and also you might be able to do integration to handle loss of GPS | 19:33 |
| daftykins | i always found VM to feel held together with tape | 19:33 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: I find their routing is generally excellent | 19:34 |
| daftykins | so many wide outages though :D | 19:34 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Most of the outages I've had have been ~1hr type of screw ups, only one long one in ~2 years | 19:35 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: And I'm using it ~10 hours a day now | 19:35 |
| daftykins | i guess they've improved their game! | 19:35 |
| daftykins | used to see a lot of middle of the night outages in Portsmouth | 19:35 |
| penguin42 | not seen any lately, but it seems to be very area dependent | 19:36 |
| daftykins | yeah, i was thinking perhaps being in a student area could increase it, but you're probably near a Uni too? | 19:37 |
| penguin42 | hmm interesting, they've been having ping peaks to google for the last 4 days in the afternoon/evenings | 19:37 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Well it depends, I'm on the north side of Manchester, and most of the university stuff is in the centre/south | 19:38 |
| daftykins | ah right | 19:38 |
| popey | Ok, next question for the team! | 19:39 |
| popey | Wifey currently has iphone 4s, previously had an iphone 4, that was her first smartphone. | 19:39 |
| popey | Looking to replace it (no, not ubuntu phone). | 19:39 |
| daftykins | and she's not cult-tied? | 19:39 |
| popey | She likes small size phones (i.e. no stupid phablets) | 19:39 |
| popey | no | 19:39 |
| daftykins | any urgency? | 19:39 |
| popey | she doesn't care, so long as it has fb, whatsapp, camera, space for photos etc | 19:39 |
| popey | not really | 19:40 |
| popey | Don't want to spend a lot though | 19:40 |
| popey | Second hand iPhone 5s is the competition. | 19:40 |
| popey | So something simliar sized, similar spec, faster than 4s. | 19:40 |
| popey | sd card bonus | 19:40 |
| czajkowski | I have an ubuntu phone looking to sell | 19:52 |
| czajkowski | i case anyone knows someone looking for one | 19:53 |
| Azelphur | popey: what sorta price bracket is that? | 19:53 |
| popey | czajkowski: awwww | 19:56 |
| popey | Azelphur: dunno, couple of hundred quid I guess | 19:57 |
| Azelphur | popey: hmm so you're looking for something ~5"? | 19:58 |
| czajkowski | popey: just don't get enough use out of it | 19:58 |
| popey | yeah, between the size of a 4s and 5s | 19:58 |
| czajkowski | as always have work aka main phone on as need the apps for work and travek | 19:59 |
| popey | she likes small phones | 19:59 |
| czajkowski | next 8 weeks I'm travelling every other week :/ | 19:59 |
| Azelphur | popey: the new Nexus 5 is coming out in <1m, something to consider perhaps but might be a little pricey | 19:59 |
| popey | and probably too huge | 19:59 |
| czajkowski | I am hoping ot move to 3 at the end of October, Vodaphone are a pita | 19:59 |
| czajkowski | and gtting a S6 | 19:59 |
| popey | hm, old nexus 5 is pretty cheap | 20:01 |
| mapps | i see the 6s is up for preorder..i haven't bothered with iphone for a while so didn't even know :) | 20:01 |
| Azelphur | popey: I thought Nexus 5 is too big? :P | 20:01 |
| popey | it is | 20:02 |
| Azelphur | ah | 20:02 |
| foobarry | new moto g? | 20:02 |
| foobarry | good price | 20:02 |
| daftykins | popey: i nearly mentioned the Nexus 5s, as it seems a second one is on the way soonish | 20:02 |
| popey | oooh, and has sd card | 20:02 |
| foobarry | also sure to get M release on android | 20:03 |
| daftykins | i'd go Nexus to be on the monthly security patch bandwagon | 20:03 |
| daftykins | unless they'll do the same | 20:03 |
| popey | ugh, 1GB RAM | 20:03 |
| Azelphur | popey: Sony Xperia Z3 compact meets all of your requirements. | 20:07 |
| popey | oh! good call, forgot sony! | 20:07 |
| popey | laura has one, and she loves it | 20:07 |
| popey | excellent. | 20:07 |
| Azelphur | yw | 20:07 |
| Azelphur | yea I believe it does everything you want, a tiny bit bigger than the 5s but not by much (123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6 mm vs 127.3 x 64.9 x 8.6 mm) has card slot, is around £200, is fairly current (2014, September) | 20:08 |
| popey | also, camera is a focus of it, which I like | 20:08 |
| popey | she takes a lot of photos / videos | 20:08 |
| Azelphur | has android 5 upgrade too, along with some nice extra features like IP68, 720p display, Shatter proof glass and a 20MP camera | 20:08 |
| Azelphur | yea :) | 20:08 |
| * Azelphur is good at phone finding | 20:09 | |
| foobarry | popey: which phone 1gb ram? | 20:11 |
| Azelphur | popey: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sony-XPERIA-Z3-Compact-D5803-Black-Vodafone-MINT-with-dock-/151815304595?hash=item2358e5b593 here's your best price, bang on target budget wise :) | 20:11 |
| daftykins | Sony are a very poor android choice | 20:12 |
| Azelphur | daftykins: you can fix that with https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=z3c | 20:12 |
| daftykins | fix what? | 20:12 |
| Azelphur | Sony are always amazing hardware shit software | 20:12 |
| popey | foobarry: moto g | 20:13 |
| foobarry | the high er storage version also has more ram | 20:13 |
| foobarry | 16gb version has 2gb i believe | 20:13 |
| popey | ah | 20:13 |
| popey | Azelphur: locked to voda :( | 20:14 |
| popey | little stand is handy | 20:14 |
| popey | that certainly is top of the list at the moment | 20:14 |
| popey | good work Azelphur :) | 20:15 |
| Azelphur | popey: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sony-XPERIA-Z3-Compact-D5803-Latest-Model-16GB-Black-Unlocked-Smartphone-Bundle-/361370436141?hash=item54235b422d best price unlocked, but probably best to just buy the one I linked, it's gonna cost less than £30 to unlock and it's in better condition and a stand too. | 20:15 |
| Azelphur | yw | 20:15 |
| daftykins | oh LG G3s are pretty good too | 20:15 |
| popey | yeah | 20:16 |
| Azelphur | popey: to be clear, your requirements are <135mm, <66mm, Android, >=2GB RAM and Card slot? | 20:17 |
| Azelphur | oh, and £200 | 20:17 |
| popey | roughly, yeah | 20:17 |
| Azelphur | Then your only choices are the Z3 Compact, Z1 Compact, Huawei Ascend P6 or the ZTE Nubia Z5S Mini | 20:20 |
| Azelphur | there are no other phones that meet all the above criteria :) | 20:20 |
| foobarry | not the motog? | 20:20 |
| Azelphur | Moto G does not meet the criteria (>=2GB RAM) it only has 1GB RAM | 20:20 |
| foobarry | Azelphur: higher storage version has 2gb ram i beliebe | 20:21 |
| foobarry | The Moto G now goes up to £209/$219 for the 2GB RAM/16GB storage version, or £179/$179/$250AU for the plain 1GB RAM/8GB storage | 20:21 |
| Azelphur | foobarry: you mean the Moto G 3rd Gen? It fails the size requirements | 20:21 |
| popey | heheh | 20:21 |
| foobarry | 142.1 x 72.4 x 11.6 mm | 20:22 |
| popey | I'm so glad I asked in here :) | 20:22 |
| * Azelphur is helpful | 20:22 | |
| Azelphur | and also a database of phones, apparently | 20:22 |
| foobarry | statto | 20:22 |
| * foobarry goes back to watching phoneshop | 20:22 | |
| foobarry | whats 7mm between friends? | 20:23 |
| Azelphur | foobarry: he wants iPhone 5s sizes, which is actually almost 2cm bigger | 20:24 |
| Azelphur | for the Moto G 3rd gen, I mean | 20:24 |
| Azelphur | 123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6 mm vs 142.1 x 72.4 x 11.6 mm | 20:25 |
| popey | what's that tool called which is a bag of beans you microwave then rest on a phone screen to make the glue melt? | 20:42 |
| popey | (I assume it's beans) | 20:42 |
| daftykins | ifixit.com sells a screen heater job | 20:43 |
| === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away | ||
| popey | yeah, tried to find it then my gpu crashed | 20:44 |
| popey | bah, they call it "iopener" | 20:45 |
| popey | useless | 20:45 |
| daftykins | :D | 20:46 |
| daftykins | want something local is it? | 20:46 |
| popey | blimey, perhaps not, they sell it on amazon | 20:46 |
| popey | http://www.amazon.co.uk/iFixit-iOpener-Apple-glued-devices/dp/B00KJ1XHLE | 20:46 |
| daftykins | \o/ | 20:48 |
| mapps | *watching 1st dates, that show's so funny:D | 20:50 |
| mapps | id never heard of this, what apple devices is it for? | 20:50 |
| daftykins | sound like the fan bearings have gone? :D https://www.dropbox.com/s/4cbrf6b0ru00qo4/VID_20150913_214839.mp4?dl=0 | 20:51 |
| daftykins | warning: check volume | 20:51 |
| mapps | is recruitment consultant really that good of a job, well paid etc? always seem to be flashy show off types | 20:52 |
| mapps | althouh means nothing of course | 20:52 |
| daftykins | fan motor i mean really | 20:53 |
| popey | they are in sales, so yeah :) | 20:53 |
| popey | selling people | 20:53 |
| mapps | so it is paid well? | 20:53 |
| popey | a friend of mine is one, we often take the mickey that he sits at work all day playing snap | 20:53 |
| popey | matching jobs with candidates | 20:54 |
| popey | It can be, if you're good | 20:54 |
| mapps | when i say well i mean 60k+ | 20:54 |
| popey | well, often they are on a low basic | 20:54 |
| popey | with commission for placement | 20:54 |
| popey | either a monthly income for contractors they place, or a lump sum after a permie has been in place for N months | 20:54 |
| mapps | ah | 20:54 |
| mapps | but if it wasnt going well, not many jobs or candidates or whatever then the basic wage could suck? | 20:55 |
| popey | I've had them call me up after 6 months (once they got their payment for placing me) and ask if I was happy (and did I want to move) so they could get another lump out of me | 20:55 |
| popey | there's always candidates, and always roles | 20:55 |
| popey | it's whether the role will accept an agent and whether you can find and convince one to go for the role | 20:55 |
| mapps | ah | 20:55 |
| popey | and whether they are any good once they get to interview | 20:55 |
| popey | many agents will fire tons of CVs over for a role, in the hope one sticks | 20:56 |
| mapps | i'd do that :) but i guess that could irritate employers | 20:56 |
| popey | yes | 20:56 |
| popey | which is why you often see adverts which say "No recruiters" on the spec | 20:56 |
| popey | because they have had bad experience of exactly that | 20:56 |
| mapps | ahh yea | 20:57 |
| mapps | I'd be annoyed if i was getting loads of CVs which clearly arent up to it:) | 20:57 |
| popey | thinking of a change of career? :) | 20:57 |
| mapps | nah | 20:58 |
| mapps | too much freedom, i waste copious amounts of time at work | 20:58 |
| mapps | a normal office job would be a chore, i imagine most non work sites being blocked | 20:58 |
| mapps | plus when i have standby i.e. nothing to do i just watch films or tv on my tablet :) if there's nothing to do, not my problem! | 20:59 |
| czajkowski | aww under the dome is finished :( | 21:00 |
| mapps | hmm | 21:00 |
| mapps | i went off that a bit tbh | 21:00 |
| mapps | big match soon, fed vs djoko, delayed due to rain;/ | 21:01 |
