[09:30] <JamesTait> Good morning all!  Happy Monday, and happy Techies Day! 😃
[09:30] <foobarry> yay
[10:05] <foobarry> which micro sd should i buy?
[10:05] <foobarry> kingston?
[10:06] <popey> sandisk or samsung
[10:08] <foobarry> ooh pricey. a whole 30p more
[10:08] <davmor2> foobarry: sandisk 1 tb ;)
[10:09] <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...
[10:10] <popey> :)
[10:11] <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...
[10:13] <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... :-)
[10:17] <foobarry> refurbished micrso SD cards eeeek
[10:18] <zmoylan-pi> one careless previous owner who is still looking for it...
[10:24] <popey> yeah, apparently *very* common to sell 8GB cards as 1GB (or similar) due to whatever sectors actually work
[10:25] <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
[10:26] <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
[10:27] <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
[10:28] <ali1234> also kingston sucks
[10:29] <ali1234> popey: can you recommend a keyboard and touchpad case cover thing for nexus 7 that works with ubuntu?
[10:30] <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
[10:31] <ali1234> i suppose it does have a touchscreen
[10:31] <ali1234> and i'd need a proper mouse for anything fiddly anyway
[10:32] <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
[10:38] <popey> ali1234: just asked them https://www.1byone.com/Accessories/Wireless-Bluetooth-Keyboard/O0000-0713 they have one of them
[10:42] <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
[11:33] <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
[11:35] <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
[11:52] <Azelphur> decided to buy that GPD Win, just placed my preorder, gonna be interesting to play with Linux, Steam, etc at 5 inches
[11:59] <davmor2> JamesTait: I figure that covers a techie right a gadget inspector ;)
[12:00] <JamesTait> Close enough, davmor2. 😉
[12:00] <davmor2> JamesTait: :D
[14:23] <diddledan_> davmor2: lol, clever pick of song
[14:25] <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
[14:26] <diddledan_> lol
[14:28] <diddledan_> we come in peace, shoot to kill
[14:31] <davmor2> diddledan_: it's life jim but not as we know it
[15:30]  * lopta sighs
[15:31] <davmor2> lopta: why
[15:35] <lopta> davmor2: I plugged a Cardbus card into a laptop running an operating system other than Ubuntu and it reset.
[15:38] <lopta> I'll use USB instead.
[16:18] <diddledan_> I might almost feel sorry for this tech support scammer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du6acZ-PZQ8
[16:58] <davmor2> diddledan_: that is comedy gold
[17:02] <diddledan> ooh, westworld starts tomorrow
[17:02] <diddledan> davmor2: aye, I stopped feeling sorry for him when he started swearing his bum off
[17:04] <diddledan> ooh, and a new crime drama in november: conviction with the lass who played agent carter
