[20:43] <foobarry_> this lakka emulation distro thing is great
[21:51] <daftykins> hrmm i started looking into Sky Q for a client, turns out Watchdog did a program on it last night, so i've snagged it :D
[21:51] <daftykins> oh dear the customers who tried it out have connection issues... but lo and behold they're using the silly things over wifi, oy! get a cable in there - job done :P
[21:55] <zmoylan-pi> but the future is wireless daftykins, especially when it keeps those i'm affected by wifi radiation people away... :-)
[21:58] <daftykins> it's really not XD
[21:58] <zmoylan-pi> it's the new 'paperless office'
[21:58] <daftykins> yep that Watchdog program was rubbish
[21:59] <daftykins> might be fine at my clients where everything can be wired
[22:13] <daftykins> got a fully populated 24 port gigabit core switch in the basement and had to start adding cheap extra ones around in other rooms :P
[22:19] <daftykins> must be 4 x AP's now too
[22:53] <ali1234> a few weeks ago watchdog had a piece on broadband speed
[22:53] <ali1234> they advised, if your broadband is not fast enough, do the following:
[22:54] <ali1234> 1. make sure you have installed all the updates for windows
[22:54] <ali1234> 2. make sure your router isn't right next to your microwave
[22:54] <ali1234> 3. ring up your ISP and ask for a better router
[22:55] <daftykins> genius :D
[22:59] <daftykins> haha an aunt and uncle in Canada sent me an e-card, but it requires flash...
[22:59] <zmoylan-pi> it's a phishing trap... :-P
[23:00] <daftykins> :D
[23:01] <zmoylan-pi> if your internet is not fast enough change the wifi password to something the kids won't guess... :-P
[23:02] <daftykins> muahahaha
