| Azelphur | Got to the bottom of my FedEx customs shenanigans | 15:35 |
| daftykins | for them thar displays again? | 15:35 |
| Azelphur | yup | 15:35 |
| daftykins | oh they holding up the shipment now? | 15:36 |
| Azelphur | they are definitely trying to play me, I got the commodity code they chose for my monitors, https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff/commodities/8528498000 ... | 15:36 |
| Azelphur | yes they are, and they are trying to charge me 14% because they chose ^ as my commodity code | 15:36 |
| daftykins | CRTs! | 15:36 |
| zmoylan-pi | they hate you because you ordred crts :-) | 15:37 |
| Azelphur | I didn't order CRTs, they are LED monitors | 15:37 |
| diddledan | seems lcd aren't subject: https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff/commodities/8528593100 | 15:37 |
| zmoylan-pi | they hate you because you *didn't* ordr crts then :-) | 15:37 |
| diddledan | I guess that's because of environmental concerns? | 15:38 |
| Azelphur | diddledan: indeed they aren't, neither are leds, which is what these monitors are | 15:38 |
| daftykins | well, LED backlit LCDs | 15:38 |
| diddledan | led screens are lcd | 15:38 |
| daftykins | apart from OLED, they are no more LED than virgin media are providing fiber tubes ;) | 15:38 |
| * Azelphur shrugs | 15:39 | |
| Azelphur | I told them to use this code, https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff/commodities/8528593900 | 15:39 |
| daftykins | looks good | 15:40 |
| diddledan | I think my one would be more appropriate | 15:41 |
| diddledan | but seems there's not much difference with the two | 15:42 |
| Azelphur | yea not a whole lot of difference | 15:44 |
| diddledan | at least if they decide it's an incorrect filing you can get them to change it to the alternative which means your duty goes from 0% to 0% :-p | 15:46 |
| Azelphur | diddledan: yea, mainly trying to drop the 14% on CRTs | 15:46 |
| diddledan | haha, lance henrikson is in a new film called "harbinger down" where he uses his catchphrase from jaws slightly altered to "we're gonna need a bigger bucket" | 15:47 |
| zmoylan-pi | he wasn't in jaws | 15:48 |
| diddledan | you sure? | 15:48 |
| * zmoylan-pi bets a euro | 15:48 | |
| diddledan | who was in jaws then? | 15:48 |
| zmoylan-pi | scheider? | 15:49 |
| diddledan | aah | 15:49 |
| diddledan | my bad | 15:49 |
| diddledan | still funny | 15:49 |
| diddledan | wow, there's someone touting an hdmi computer-stick with 8GB of rams: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/magicstick-most-powerful-pc-stick-8gb-ram#/ | 16:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | 2015 will be the year of the desktop you lose in your pocket :-) | 16:07 |
| diddledan | indeed | 16:07 |
| daftykins | ooh my Dell UK have the new XPS 13 9350 :D | 16:08 |
| diddledan | \o/ | 16:08 |
| diddledan | when you buying? :-p | 16:08 |
| daftykins | when i'm rich | 16:08 |
| diddledan | lol | 16:09 |
| daftykins | http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/PopupProductDetail.aspx?c=uk&l=en&cs=ukbsdt1&sku=452-BBOO&price=140.19 | 16:10 |
| daftykins | single cable USB, external displays and LAN 8D | 16:10 |
| diddledan | \o/ | 16:12 |
| diddledan | I like docking stations | 16:12 |
| * diddledan docks his port | 16:12 | |
| daftykins | 'tis proper thunderbolt over USB | 16:13 |
| diddledan | ooh? | 16:13 |
| daftykins | http://www.dell.com/uk/business/p/xps-13-9350-laptop/pd?ref=PD_OC | 16:13 |
| diddledan | I thought thunderbolt used a display-port-compatible system | 16:13 |
| daftykins | well it throws display protocols over so depending on the breakout at the other end, it can go into multiple socket types for video ja | 16:14 |
| diddledan | aah | 16:14 |
| daftykins | since DP goes out into DP, HDMI or i think VGA too | 16:14 |
| daftykins | i think i might get one tbh :P it seems really nice | 16:14 |
| diddledan | yeah DP has an analogue set of wires, like dvi | 16:15 |
| awilkins | I have a DP > HDMI adapter | 16:15 |
| diddledan | I believe DP is just HDMI without the licensing | 16:15 |
| daftykins | just a shame you can't get the top end model with a FHD display, they make you go up to 4K | 16:15 |
| awilkins | And a DP > VGA adapter | 16:15 |
| daftykins | pretty much, far higher signal speed than common HDMI though... bit higher than HDMI 2.0 too i think | 16:15 |
| awilkins | Yeah, the DP connector looks JUSt like an HDMI only the plug is shifted to the side and the housing lost a corner | 16:15 |
| diddledan | yeah I think DP is a superset | 16:15 |
| awilkins | Not sure if you need active circuits | 16:16 |
| diddledan | most DPs these days use the mini-DP plug/socket IIRC | 16:16 |
| awilkins | My DP > HDMI adapter has enough room for some circuitboard in | 16:16 |
| diddledan | lil square thingy | 16:16 |
| daftykins | "6. Thunderboltâą 3 supporting: Power in/charging, PowerShare, Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps bi-directional), USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps), VGA, HDMI, Ethernet and USB-A via Dell Adapter (sold separately)" | 16:16 |
| awilkins | And of course, Thunderbolt and USB-C are the same physical thing | 16:16 |
| daftykins | http://i.dell.com/sites/imagecontent/products/PublishingImages/xps-13-9350-laptop/laptop-xps-13-9350-pdp-polaris-09.jpg | 16:16 |
| diddledan | I like the concept of USB-C | 16:17 |
| awilkins | USB-C for all the things | 16:17 |
| diddledan | finally a single connector for evarythang | 16:17 |
| awilkins | I still think Apple are being wanky by only putting one in a Macbook Air though | 16:17 |
| diddledan | tis a shame Microsoft didn't put it on their new surfaces | 16:17 |
| popey | I'm sad more laptops don't have it | 16:17 |
| * awilkins apologises for mildly unsafe comment in family channel | 16:17 | |
| popey | maybe next gen ones will | 16:18 |
| popey | which is interesting that apple lead the way on that | 16:18 |
| awilkins | They took the whole "one port for everything" tagline too seriously though | 16:18 |
| diddledan | awilkins, as in they only put one port on the device? | 16:18 |
| awilkins | Yup | 16:18 |
| diddledan | yeah, that's a bit sucky | 16:19 |
| diddledan | means you're requried to use a hub | 16:19 |
| awilkins | Especially since it's now the charge port | 16:19 |
| daftykins | trust me Apple don't lead the way, they always just try and push new connectors and mostly end up failing - costing their customers plenty in the process :P | 16:20 |
| daftykins | case in point, firewire A and B | 16:20 |
| popey | usb | 16:21 |
| === g4mby is now known as PaulW2U | ||
| popey | they led on that | 16:21 |
| zmoylan-pi | and horrible lightning cables | 16:21 |
| awilkins | I hate Firewire | 16:22 |
| awilkins | I dunno why it's named that, but I always get a shock off it | 16:22 |
| awilkins | Maybe that IS why | 16:22 |
| popey | They led the way on firewire, which was better than the other options at the time. | 16:23 |
| diddledan | firewire uses plugs that can be coerced into connecting backasswards thereby ruining the devices at both ends | 16:23 |
| popey | along with sony | 16:23 |
| awilkins | Firewire lets hackers pwn your machine because it has a DMA controller | 16:23 |
| awilkins | As does Thunderbolt | 16:23 |
| zmoylan-pi | bring back scsi.... :-) | 16:23 |
| popey | RS-232 9-pin D ftw | 16:24 |
| popey | s/9/25/ | 16:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | i know a song about rs-232... | 16:24 |
| awilkins | Is it "RS-232 / RS-232 / RS-232 / Interface Lead" ? | 16:24 |
| m0nkey_ | Darn Canada Post. They've had a package for me since yesterday evening (scanned at around 10pm) .. Yet it didn't go out for delivery today. I'm a sad m0nkey_ :( | 16:24 |
| awilkins | > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDlj0jBtYmQ | 16:25 |
| zmoylan-pi | you beat me to it :-) | 16:25 |
| daftykins | awilkins: shock off firewire? it doesn't even provide power :) | 16:26 |
| awilkins | It always feels ... buzzy | 16:27 |
| awilkins | Maybe I have a grounding problem | 16:27 |
| diddledan | daftykins, it does! | 16:27 |
| zmoylan-pi | i was always shocked by dodgy coax network cable | 16:27 |
| daftykins | D: must've been a later addition? | 16:28 |
| diddledan | zmoylan-pi, I'm always shocked by my birds' nest of cables - it is a mess! | 16:28 |
| daftykins | oh that thing i linked appears to provide video output and gigabit LAN just from a standard USB 3.0 port, Dell UK don't appear to list their thunderbolt adapter yet. | 16:34 |

| daftykins | any of you lot active that are ops in #ubuntu? tux38 needs ejecting and sooner rather than later. | 18:27 |
| diddledan | $ eject /dev/tux38 | 18:31 |
| * diddledan joins #ubuntu to see the damage | 18:31 | |
| zmoylan-pi | ditto | 18:31 |
| daftykins | oh my bad it was taken care of | 18:32 |
| daftykins | 4 mins ago | 18:32 |
| daftykins | catching up on some work here ^_^ | 18:32 |

| Myrtti | sorry, I was off to eating my most excellent Tesco curry | 18:37 |
| daftykins | :D | 18:41 |
| Myrtti | I prefer their korma and chicken tikka masala to any I've had in UK... | 18:44 |
| Myrtti | ahem | 18:44 |
| daftykins | heh | 19:03 |
| daftykins | i had a really nice lamb curry down in Lewes with my friends | 19:03 |
| diddledan | just watched chappie - he's adorable | 19:04 |
| daftykins | ooh i was gonna check that out, good call | 19:04 |
| daftykins | also that one with the big podgy robot | 19:04 |
| diddledan | big hero 6? | 19:05 |
| directhex | that is indeed a big podgy robot | 19:05 |
| daftykins | that's the one :D | 19:06 |
| daftykins | diddledan in saving me from looking things up \o/ | 19:06 |
| directhex | i'm waiting for inside out to come out on blurry. | 19:06 |
| diddledan | I really wanna see inside out, too | 19:06 |
| directhex | saw it on the plane to boston last month | 19:06 |
| directhex | and watched it again on the flight back | 19:07 |
| diddledan | lol | 19:07 |
| directhex | it's that good. holy hell. | 19:07 |
| daftykins | hrmm Fargo s2 just started | 19:08 |
| directhex | and it's the most emotionally scarring film in disney history. screw simba's dad and bambi's mom and the toy story 3 furnace | 19:08 |
| daftykins | is this the one about a lass's emotions? | 19:09 |
| daftykins | yesh it is the one i'm thinking of | 19:10 |
| directhex | that's the one | 19:11 |
| directhex | and now i'm sorta crying from just listening to the soundtrack on youtube. it's a hell of a film! | 19:36 |
| daftykins | ;_; | 19:36 |
| daftykins | i don't think my emotions need that right now! | 19:36 |
| directhex | apparently the original up script had an extra 30 seconds of crushing despair, so this is my reaction to the "happy" final cut | 19:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | squirrel!! | 19:46 |
| daftykins | ooh i saw one in St Albans! | 19:48 |
| daftykins | we don't have them over here | 19:48 |
| zmoylan-pi | they released a bunch of red squirrels on wooded hill near me to repopulate the red squirrel population after they were decimated by the greys... saw one squished on road outside my place... | 19:49 |
| daftykins | :S | 19:52 |
| zmoylan-pi | i have seen a grey cross the road safely so they can learn i suppose. if they live long enough or see other squirrels do it | 19:56 |
| diddledan | we all know what happens when a grey crosses the road: http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi3516832537/ | 20:20 |
| daftykins | i was riding past one of the world war 2 tunnels dug by locals under duress of the occupying German forces, today | 20:20 |
