| diddledan | I figured as I do as little as possible that everyone else would be the same :-p | 01:51 |
| popey | (in 1994) | 01:51 |
| daftykins | diddledan: i might have you beat | 01:54 |
| * diddledan anticipates the spanking | 01:54 | |
| diddledan | oh, you don't mean beat as in flogging | 01:55 |
| daftykins | nope your luck is out tonight i'm afraid! | 01:56 |
| * diddledan pouts | 01:56 | |

| diddledan | yeah, that's what tech radar says too | 03:51 |
| daftykins | thanksgiving confirmed as 26th, yip :> | 03:51 |
| zmoylan-pi | day of hell for retail workers in usa... | 03:51 |
| daftykins | :) | 03:52 |
| daftykins | apparently some things start at 6pm the day before, too | 03:52 |
| * zmoylan-pi wonders what the body count will be this year :-/ | 03:52 | |
| daftykins | wow i never thought to shop for dishwasher tablets on amazon :P | 03:53 |
| daftykins | postage material waste is a concern, though | 03:53 |
| zmoylan-pi | buy bulk leave your offspring a lifetime supply of dishwasher tabs :-) | 03:53 |
| daftykins | oh i intend for none! | 03:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | never leave a tab behind!! | 03:56 |
| diddledan | lol @ techradar: The numbers on Black Friday in 2014 were so big that websites fell over like Victorian ladies on a hot day, with HP, Best Buy, Currys, Tesco, Argos, Boots and Game's websites all requiring smelling salts. | 03:56 |
| zmoylan-pi | at least argos were selling a fainting couch and boots HAD smelling salts... | 03:57 |
| diddledan | I wonder how much amazon will make off AWS servers | 03:57 |
| zmoylan-pi | well if they install the software to run aws in the background of computers sold on amazon... lots :-) | 03:58 |
| daftykins | that's a bit paranoid | 04:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | i have a lenovo :-) | 04:03 |
| daftykins | pff | 04:06 |
| zmoylan-pi | yeah, i do wonder who owns who too :-P | 04:06 |
| daftykins | hmm user with a WMV that doesn't play, what fun and games - http://paste.ubuntu.com/13359070/ | 04:07 |
| daftykins | video is ok, but no audio | 04:07 |
| zmoylan-pi | i had audio die in mx player, till i found they had to remove mp3 playback BUT added an addon to add it back... | 04:09 |
| zmoylan-pi | for legal reasons | 04:10 |
| zmoylan-pi | which is why i don't let android auto update anymore :-) | 04:10 |
| daftykins | i turned that off the day facebook bought whatsapp | 04:10 |
| * zmoylan-pi goes to see kitten pics to calm down.... http://thechive.com/2015/11/19/these-cat-parents-are-proud-of-their-little-ones-34-photos/ | 04:12 | |
| daftykins | that calls for poking diddledan for emergency kittens | 04:13 |
| mapps | hmm | 04:16 |
| mapps | enjoying this blindspot series | 04:16 |
| mapps | :D | 04:16 |
| daftykins | but how can you see it? ;) | 04:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | he has a mirror, what is this, the dark ages? :-) | 04:21 |
| daftykins | yes! | 04:22 |
| zmoylan-pi | well... yes... ok... it is night time... | 04:22 |
| mapps | ;D | 04:23 |
| zmoylan-pi | does night count as an age... time waiting in a+e excepted of course | 04:24 |
| daftykins | or a government queue | 04:24 |
| mapps | lots of tv today yay | 04:25 |
| zmoylan-pi | a+e isn't a government queue? just with extra pain and gloopiness.... | 04:26 |
| daftykins | mapps: got a free new phone today! http://www.techblo.gg/stuff/n5.jpeg £26 delivered for a new screen | 04:27 |
| zmoylan-pi | i got a cheap android 5" phone today to replace a 7" tablet for €70 http://www.tescomobile.ie/phones/displayPhone.aspx?p=287 | 04:29 |
| daftykins | ah har, China's learning your accent ;) | 04:30 |
| zmoylan-pi | bonus points, it allowed me to delete the facebook apps and other dross unlike every other android phone so far | 04:30 |
| daftykins | \o/ | 04:31 |
| daftykins | the Nexii are good for not coming with that tosh :> | 04:31 |
| daftykins | i'm going to be staring at my letterbox awaiting this screen, much excitement :) | 04:32 |
| zmoylan-pi | i'd say that daftykins needs to get out more but reckon that would be the time the delivery would happen... | 04:33 |
| daftykins | i made a little scrap of paper with sellotape on my front door and a mobile # to call :D | 04:34 |

| bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 13:10 |
| foobarry | has there been a ps4 price drop recently | 13:25 |
| foobarry | starting to want one | 13:25 |
| zmoylan-pi | the price drop comes 2 days AFTER you buy one, is this your first expensive electronic purchase? :-) | 13:26 |
| zmoylan-pi | my personal best is ordering a psion 5mx and it arriving on the day psion announced they were going to stop making pdas... | 13:27 |
| foobarry | Sony has finally confirmed a £50.00 price drop on the PlayStation 4, making the console's recommended retail price £299.99 in the UK for the 500GB model and €349.99 across the rest of Europe. | 13:45 |

| zmoylan-pi | which for some reason was used in ireland in an advert for wap to make it look cool and hip and useful... | 17:11 |
| diddledan | zmoylan-pi, wap. that be new fangled shenanigans! | 17:11 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's like html for sms!! | 17:12 |
| davmor2 | diddledan: stands for way advanced protocol rigth? | 17:12 |
| zmoylan-pi | and just like minitel in ireland it had a huge launch and no one used it as it cost silly money | 17:13 |
| diddledan | hmm. lastpass is broken | 17:13 |
| diddledan | they appear to be entirely gone from the web | 17:14 |
| davmor2 | diddledan: probably got hacked but don't worry your passwords are safe with them | 17:15 |
| zmoylan-pi | they're adding 1 character to every password for fun... | 17:16 |
| diddledan | maybe they're being DDoSed? | 17:19 |
| diddledan | their website is timing out | 17:19 |
| diddledan | chrome helpfully says "The server for https://lastpass.com/ took too long to respond. It may be overloaded." | 17:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | the nsa is backing up their data :-) | 17:20 |
| davmor2 | diddledan: http://www.securityweek.com/security-flaws-lastpass-exposed-user-passwords | 17:20 |
| diddledan | yeah, they fixed those | 17:21 |
| davmor2 | diddledan: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/lastpass.com | 17:22 |
| awilkins | Why do people trust a third party service to keep their passwords safe anyway?!? | 17:22 |
| * awilkins uses Dropbox + Password Safe + compatible programs | 17:23 | |
| davmor2 | I just use Hunter2 nobody guesses that | 17:23 |
| awilkins | It's astounding how all IRC clients still implement that password protection feature - all I saw was ******* | 17:24 |
| davmor2 | awilkins: I does blow the mind right, I bet you copy pasted that right cause I saw Hunter2 my end :) | 17:25 |

| daftykins | why? | 18:49 |
| diddledan_ | Xenial isn't due yet | 18:52 |
| daftykins | got quite a while :) | 18:54 |
| daftykins | a new LTS is much excite, however | 18:54 |
| diddledan_ | But the name isn't fun like wily tho | 18:58 |
| daftykins | a mate in another channel was testing wily on an old PC, he had some kind of card that was getting misidentified by the kernel at bootup, yet worked fine in trusty | 19:00 |
| daftykins | at one point it disappeared so i mentioned the ol' PSU power connector detach from the motherboard to fully discharge it, worked a charm and the card came back - yet it took changing slot for the card to be identified | 19:01 |
| daftykins | seemed like something from the days before programmable interrupt controllers | 19:01 |
| diddledan_ | Wow! | 19:04 |
| diddledan_ | Old hardware few | 19:04 |
| diddledan_ | Ftw | 19:04 |
| directhex | have been working many days to get mono updated for ubuntu x | 19:07 |
| daftykins | that bringing all the open sauce MS .NET goodness to Linux land? | 19:08 |
| daftykins | i say goodness but i know nothing of it :) | 19:08 |
| directhex | daftykins: well, mono 4.2 has more microsoft source code in it than 4.0, and 3.12- it was just standalone libs, not their core class library stuff | 19:11 |
| daftykins | interesting | 19:13 |
| directhex | well technically they both have just as much microsoft source, it's just in 4.0 only a limited number of microsoft's files are compiled in | 19:14 |
