| JamesTait | Good morning all! Happy Monday, and happy Techies Day! 😃 | 09:30 |
| foobarry | yay | 09:30 |
| foobarry | which micro sd should i buy? | 10:05 |
| foobarry | kingston? | 10:05 |
| popey | sandisk or samsung | 10:06 |
| foobarry | ooh pricey. a whole 30p more | 10:08 |
| davmor2 | foobarry: sandisk 1 tb ;) | 10:08 |
| popey | Have you watched the bunnie talk from ccc? It's super interesting, and gets quite deep about hacking the tiny cpu inside sd cards | 10:09 |
| popey | worth a watch | 10:09 |
| zmoylan-pi | 1tb on a card small enough to hide behind a mote of dust if dropped... | 10:09 |
| popey | :) | 10:10 |
| zmoylan-pi | i remember when the format was first released there was talk of music albums been released on cards. you'd have needed a magnifying glass and tweezers just to sort your music... | 10:11 |
| davmor2 | zmoylan-pi: more like a microscope than a magnifying glass | 10:13 |
| zmoylan-pi | well a jewellers eye loupe... | 10:13 |
| zmoylan-pi | you can get them in maplins... :-) | 10:13 |
| foobarry | refurbished micrso SD cards eeeek | 10:17 |
| zmoylan-pi | one careless previous owner who is still looking for it... | 10:18 |
| popey | yeah, apparently *very* common to sell 8GB cards as 1GB (or similar) due to whatever sectors actually work | 10:24 |
| popey | Bunnie said they saw a 16GB internal card sold as 128MB or thereabouts because that's the only sectors that worked | 10:25 |
| zmoylan-pi | bodes well | 10:25 |
| ali1234 | selling cards like that is extremely common | 10:26 |
| ali1234 | it's also common to sell them as 16GB even though only 128MB of it works | 10:26 |
| zmoylan-pi | when i first started disk drives were shipped with a dodgy sectors list which you had to type into novell when setting them up... you really looked for drives with small lists and paid extra for them | 10:27 |
| ali1234 | also kingston sucks | 10:28 |
| ali1234 | popey: can you recommend a keyboard and touchpad case cover thing for nexus 7 that works with ubuntu? | 10:29 |
| popey | Logitech K480 is the one I have | 10:30 |
| popey | but I'm told they basically all work | 10:30 |
| popey | I don't have a cover style keyboard, only the big jobbies | 10:30 |
| ali1234 | hmm and no touchpad | 10:30 |
| ali1234 | i suppose it does have a touchscreen | 10:31 |
| ali1234 | and i'd need a proper mouse for anything fiddly anyway | 10:31 |
| ali1234 | popey: if you see anyone with a nice one ask them where they got it please :) | 10:32 |
| popey | yeah, i use a thinkpad bluetooth mouse | 10:32 |
| popey | I am in the office tomorrow, will ask around and see, as I know some people have different ones there | 10:32 |
| ali1234 | thanks | 10:32 |
| popey | np | 10:32 |
| popey | ali1234: just asked them https://www.1byone.com/Accessories/Wireless-Bluetooth-Keyboard/O0000-0713 they have one of them | 10:38 |
| ali1234 | this looks interesting: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Navitech-Wireless-Bluetooth-Keyboard-Google/dp/B00HYXMUMM/ref=pd_sim_sbs_147_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=71X10PTQGNAC9Z0A0GZ8 | 10:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | you'd have thought by now there'd be a call for a standard connector on tablets and phones so that they could be connected to keyboards/ dashboards without all the silly suction cups/clips to support them | 11:33 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: I got this stuck in my head so now you can have it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1-YPLp3KqA happy techie day :D | 11:35 |
| Azelphur | decided to buy that GPD Win, just placed my preorder, gonna be interesting to play with Linux, Steam, etc at 5 inches | 11:52 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: I figure that covers a techie right a gadget inspector ;) | 11:59 |
| JamesTait | Close enough, davmor2. 😉 | 12:00 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: :D | 12:00 |
| diddledan_ | davmor2: lol, clever pick of song | 14:23 |
| diddledan_ | wow, I'd forgotten how much of an earworm that tune is/was | 14:25 |
| davmor2 | diddledan_: ran out of idea for geek or techie was gonna go with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCARADb9asE and claim JamesTait had mis-spelt Trekie | 14:25 |
| diddledan_ | lol | 14:26 |
| diddledan_ | we come in peace, shoot to kill | 14:28 |
| davmor2 | diddledan_: it's life jim but not as we know it | 14:31 |
| * lopta sighs | 15:30 | |
| davmor2 | lopta: why | 15:31 |
| lopta | davmor2: I plugged a Cardbus card into a laptop running an operating system other than Ubuntu and it reset. | 15:35 |
| lopta | I'll use USB instead. | 15:38 |
| diddledan_ | I might almost feel sorry for this tech support scammer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du6acZ-PZQ8 | 16:18 |
| davmor2 | diddledan_: that is comedy gold | 16:58 |
| diddledan | ooh, westworld starts tomorrow | 17:02 |
| diddledan | davmor2: aye, I stopped feeling sorry for him when he started swearing his bum off | 17:02 |
| diddledan | ooh, and a new crime drama in november: conviction with the lass who played agent carter | 17:04 |
