JamesTaitGood morning all! Happy Monday, and happy Clean Off Your Desk Day! 😃09:43
zmoylan-piif i cleaned off my desk it would lose structural integrity! :-)09:53
SuperMat1My desk is normally quite clean really09:54
SuperMat1but I do hate the number of cables I have to have09:54
=== SuperMat1 is now known as SuperMatt
zmoylan-pipeople are looking for a good monitor that'll charge their macbook pros in other channels to try and thin out the cable mess11:58
foobarryheh11:58
zmoylan-piand like keyboards what is defined as a good monitor is very very subjective...11:59
ali1234a monitor that charges your computer?12:29
zmoylan-piif it works on usb-c yes.  there are a few seemingly that do12:30
ali1234crazy12:30
zmoylan-pibut it can mean that when you plug your usb-c enabled device into 1 cable on your desk at home or work it adds 2 displays, network, keyboard and mouse and charges the bugger at the same time... which is nice12:32
zmoylan-pii'm not sure it's better than a docking station though... a good docking station mind, not a cheap horrible one12:32
popeyless space12:48
zmoylan-piwhich for some is the priority but i loved when i used a palm pda been able to drop it into a cradle with one hand and no fiddling with a connecting cable12:49
zmoylan-piand i've seen 1-2 docks you could do that with a laptop12:49
zmoylan-pidrop in cradle, press the sync button and magic happened :-)12:53

SuperMattProbably the most brutal film I've seen16:08
davmor2SuperMatt: p-l-ease! Brutal.  As in a brutal massacre of a franchise Hello H20 or Brutal as in violent I can name 50 worse :D16:15
SuperMattI'm not going to discuss it further becuz spoilers16:19
zmoylan-pithe alien did it :-P16:59
daftykinsD:16:59
daftykinsjust spotted the convo above, i'd like a monitor with USB C for my Dell XPS13 so i could have single cable charging, connection, possibly USB ports too so a wireless receiver could be plugged in and even gigabit LAN so i could leave a cable plumbed in and have wired on the laptop - all on the one cable!17:21
daftykinsthat's more doable with docks though, but sadly Dell's is still about £17517:21
zmoylan-piyeah a few people were talkings about dells docking thingy...17:26
daftykinsi'm sure Apple would find a way to stop it working properly17:27
zmoylan-piwell i did see a story of someone who reported that their macbook kept trying to charge itself off a usb hard drive17:28
daftykins:D17:29
daftykinsa lot will probably be down to iffy accessories and cable converters for now17:30
zmoylan-pisomeone was saying it's all based on a pyramid of trust with every device reporting itself correctly as to what it is and what it can do... this will fail when cheap chinese knockoffs appear in 18 months17:30
daftykinswell there've been tonnes of cables not to spec already so they're already there :>17:31

diddledanI got a lil teary when carrie fisher appeared22:07
SebthreeBQM10HDdiddledan, I wasnt so keen on the new star wars from what I saw of it and thought the previous was better22:08

daftykinsthis is seriously confusing, i have an 8 disk RAID6 on a 3ware controller with XFS under 14.04.5 server, it's only writing at 20MB/sec...22:34
m0nkey_STAR TREK! FTW!22:34
daftykinsmoreover, not every disk light flashes as it's writing22:34

m0nkey_lol22:35
daftykinsm0nkey_: nah22:36
daftykinsbut these 3wares don't speed limit based on that automatically22:37
m0nkey_does the card have any sort of write cache on it? because if it doesn't. it'll be slow.22:37
daftykinsyeah 256MB RAM onboard22:37
m0nkey_hmm22:37
