| benxyzzy | Does the "startup disk creator" make read-only Live USBs? I want to guarantee that no trace of the session booted from the USB stick remains on the stick after shutdown | 11:31 |

| SebthreeBQM10HD | hi | 18:24 |
| daftykins | lo | 18:26 |
| daftykins | new toys \o/ http://imgur.com/a/PojKC | 18:26 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | lo | 18:26 |
| * penguin42 has a new TV due on Tuesday | 18:31 | |
| daftykins | penguin42: ooh anything special? | 18:31 |
| daftykins | just making the last two ghetto cat6 speaker cables XD | 18:32 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Curry's bank-holiday special 42" LCD dumb-TV | 18:32 |
| daftykins | ooh | 18:32 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: JVC Freeview-HD - it's got 3 HDMI, a scary, component, 1 USB, and it does have ether (but I think for only playing local media) | 18:32 |
| penguin42 | scary?! A scart! | 18:32 |
| daftykins | well it's a French standard so i'd concur ;) | 18:33 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: But more importantly, I paid them the extra £15 to take my 32" widescreen CRT out - given it weighs about 50kg and is upstairs I'm hoping they do it | 18:33 |
| daftykins | oh excellent! yeah i'd pay to deal with that | 18:34 |
| daftykins | a Manchester guy actually invented how to recycle CRT glass, i understand | 18:34 |
| penguin42 | really? I wonder where he is.... | 18:34 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: I'm not close enough to the Irwell to dump it in there | 18:35 |
| daftykins | mmm can't seem to find it | 18:43 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: nulifeglass.com seems to be them | 18:44 |
| daftykins | that's the one :> | 18:44 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: They're under 15 miles away | 18:48 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Although I bet my TV is on for a much longer journey | 18:48 |
| daftykins | \o/ | 18:48 |
| daftykins | a gov site almost seemed to hint at pick-up for residents though? | 18:49 |
| daftykins | council even, i guess | 18:49 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: As far as I could tell the council wanted £30 | 18:50 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: They've got quite a blog on the front of nulifeglass.com showing the build out of their New York furnace (and they're now building one in Virginia - I'm not sure they've even still got a UK one) | 18:52 |
| daftykins | i'd hope so! the original article i read spoke of licensing the process to China | 18:54 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: I wonder what the timescale is; I mean there's only going to be a ~10 year?? window where people are recycling the bunch of them? | 18:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | there's probably a backlog that would take more than a few decades to recycle | 18:55 |
| daftykins | yeah | 18:56 |
| daftykins | 'cause the article spoke of them being gathered but sat around until the process was developed | 18:56 |
| zmoylan-pi | somewhere there's a field with a big pile of nokia 3310s waiting for scientists of the future to work out how to break them up... :-D | 18:57 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: They might find the mythical Apple Lisa land fill | 18:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | next to the apple newtown pile i think | 19:00 |
| daftykins | :> | 19:01 |
| penguin42 | Oh the newtons were both smaller, and I think actually sold fairly well at the time | 19:01 |
| zmoylan-pi | they started badly but were profitable by the time jobs got back | 19:01 |
| penguin42 | me and a few friends bought a large box of duff ones from a local firm about 20 years ago and made working ones from pairs of duff ones and sold the working one | 19:01 |
| penguin42 | s | 19:01 |
| zmoylan-pi | but i think he didn't like them as he didn't invent them | 19:01 |
| zmoylan-pi | i never saw one in wild mind. this was psion country :-) | 19:02 |
| * penguin42 has one here but it doesn't work any more | 19:02 | |
| penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: Yeh I had the Acorn branded equivalent of the Psion 3a | 19:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | the school variant. putting computers in school kids hands decades before any one else | 19:03 |
| penguin42 | I was using that during my postgrad; very useful for walking around a library taking notes from papers you had to find and research; back in the day when you had to do most stuff that way | 19:04 |
| zmoylan-pi | i could walk around with a psion 3a typing at 30wpm. even standing on bus with arm wrapped around pole as it bounced across dublin | 19:05 |
| penguin42 | nod, very good for thumb typing - was just the right size | 19:05 |
| daftykins | ah, one network cable left to make up | 19:05 |
| zmoylan-pi | i typed with 1 thumb and 1 hand using rest of the thumb using hand to grip the battery compartment so it never fell | 19:05 |
| penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: It's a pity no one does a modern Android device in the same format; IMHO it would still work | 19:05 |
| zmoylan-pi | i've been saying that for a decade... | 19:06 |
| penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: indeed someone now might be able to make more resiliant hinges | 19:06 |
| zmoylan-pi | even a decent case for the pi zero would do it for a low production variant | 19:06 |
| penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: You'd need the battery/LCD/keyboard stuff | 19:07 |
| zmoylan-pi | that would be part of the case | 19:07 |
| penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: and you'd have to get lucky for an uSD line up | 19:07 |
| penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: I also have one of the things someone remade the Psion5 after they went under (can't remember the name) | 19:08 |
