popeyoh look, yougov eu referendum survey o'clock09:24
foobarryi don't understand. surely the undecided should vote for the status quo?09:25
foobarrywhy are people swinging their decision based on emotional swing over the last few weeks rather than the years preceding it when they were happy in the EU09:26
foobarryand barely thought about it tbh09:26

diplohah, just read a tweet "If Britain leaves the EU, do I no longer get these annoying cookie warnings on every website? This changes everything."10:44
TwistedLucidityIt always amuses me how there is no way to refuse the cookies10:47
diploRefusing = leaving site?10:47
TwistedLucidityThat's would be one option but as I understand it, it wasn't what the law intened. You were meant to be able to refuse and continue10:49
foobarryi think that law got canned already anyway10:54
foobarryor certainly reinterpreted10:54
diploThey don't enforce it I think is more to the point10:55
foobarryah...that moment where you think you broke it all. then relaised it was somebody else10:55
diploI've had a afternoon / mornin glike that, thought I'd broke code10:55

zmoylan-piand as i asked in a different channel why do no manufacturers offer a sliding cover or a hardware switch for cameras in laptops or for microphones too11:25
popeybecause most people aren't paranoid?11:28
zmoylan-pii *knew* you were going to say that... :-)11:28

daftykinsyay new nvidia 1070 card on the way \o/13:52
zmoylan-pia warm winter ahead for daftykins :-)13:53
daftykinshaha, it's low power!13:54
Seeker`saw four 1080s lined up in the office today13:57
daftykinso0 what for?13:58
Myrttisweet, new Spotify client!14:02
tpeHere I am sticking with a 750 Ti until I do a new system build...14:18
daftykinsthat's not even vaguely sticking, i'm replacing a 560Ti from 2010/2011 :P14:19
daftykinsthis 1070 will be a 6 fold improvement XD14:19
tpeThe 750 Ti was a forced replacement for a dead HD 4870. I'd probably still be on that if it hadn't fried itself. :)14:21
daftykinshehe14:21
daftykinsi think that AMD is in legacy status now14:21
tpeHas been for more than 5 years I think... I was relying on improvements to the r600g driver.14:22
daftykinsnah the fglrx driver would only drop given ranges here and there14:24
daftykinsat least that's my meaning for legacy14:24
diploI'm still using a 8800GTX, it struggles quite badly now14:28
daftykinseven my 560Ti does! 18fps on low in the new Hitman, @ 1920x120014:35
Seeker`I'm sticking with my GTX970 for now14:39
daftykinsi almost got one of those a while back, were it not for the RAM controversy14:40
haltHi guys, I have an old Blackberry phone, and few ubuntu desktop/ laptop all around is there any way to sync that to ubuntu ? on the BB site I found only windows drivers and apps15:00
daftykinswith what kind of content? sync means a different thing to different people15:01
daftykinsreally though given the company is a walking zombie they should be abandoned15:01

haltI'm intrested about the contacts only, and not keep in sync just download15:15
SuperMattpen and paper might be quicker ;)15:17
haltreally it's that bad ?15:18
diploLast time I did something for a friend, I believe you can sync contacts with Google halt15:19
diploTwas the easiest way I found15:19
diploHas been a while though15:19
haltso I need to register a google account login on both the phone and ubuntu and then expect the magic, well that's something15:20
SuperMattthat sounds like the best way15:21
daftykinshalt: what are the contacts in right now?15:22
daftykinsyeah in fairness before my first smartphone arrived i sorted all my contacts out on my gmail account and when it arrived, i had just to add the account then BAM all imported and also, online - so never again would i have to hear of the woes of contacts "on SIM" or "on phone"15:23
halton that one phone and on few of my old laptop where I used to have windows15:24
daftykinsthe source of the contacts is that blackberry?15:25
haltI don't use neither phone or windows anymore15:26
haltdaftykins: it's few years of collection on that phone yes that's the source15:26
diploI expect you can export to csv on the blackberry? then bluetooth to a laptop ?15:26
daftykinsyep i'd just type 'em out :P15:27
haltI might take it into the office and give it to one of the intern15:28
daftykinsthat's the spirit!15:30
daftykinscircle of life complete :)15:30
haltnever mind I found an free bb app for export all contact in vCard  format I saved it to sd card so now I just need to import it15:43
daftykinsyou might have some fun with those :)15:48
* zmoylan-pi remembers the good old days transferring a lot of data between phone, palm and psions with good old vcards and infrared :-)18:07
daftykins:D18:13
popeyI wish palm os was still a thing18:13
daftykinsi remember asking a volunteer sixth-former in the library if i could install PsiWin on the library computers18:13
daftykins\o/18:13
marshmnI loved Palm OS18:14
zmoylan-pithe most convuluted complicated working application ever written in vb6 was psiwin...18:14
zmoylan-piif they made a palm still with graffitti 1, not 2 and had wifi or even just a bt bridge to a smartphone they'd still be selling.18:15
popeyYeah, Palm was delightful18:15
marshmnGraffiti was great!18:16
marshmnI'd forgotten how good that felt18:16
zmoylan-pisimcity on palmos... happy memories...18:16
marshmnand I probably had more fun writing programs for Palm than any other programming I've ever done18:16
zmoylan-piavantgo for offline news...18:17
popeybeginning of the end of palm for me was when my Palm T|X wouldn't do any better than WEP for wifi security18:18
daftykinsthat remained the case for the Nintendo DS :| very daft18:24
zmoylan-pisome companies think the universe should revolve around their hardware18:25
marshmnwow, just saw that Linode double the amount of RAM you get (for those who had 4GB or less)18:44
marshmnnice.18:44
daftykinsi thought Linode always had very high prices18:46

foobarrycan i transfer multiple ISAs into one ISA in one year?19:37
foobarryhmm provided you only pay into one active ISA per year and you're not locked into a fixed account).19:38
marshmndaftykins: I think they're pretty reasonable? I pay $20 for 4GB VPS now19:50
daftykins$5 for a 1GB at DO i think19:51
daftykins(digital ocean)19:51
marshmnOK, so that's about the same?19:52
marshmnactually, DO is $5 for 512MB by the looks of it19:53
daftykinsonly if you multiply directly19:53
daftykinsah my mistake19:53
marshmnit looks like the DO prices are pretty much the same as what Linode were prior to the recent upgrade19:54
marshmnso now Linode is half the price19:54
marshmnbut I'm not really trying to convince anyone to use Linode19:55
marshmnI've used it for a couple of years and has been good for me19:55
marshmnYMMV19:55
