zmoylan-pii remember when i was a kid and they actually landed their ships there... :-P21:41
zmoylan-pisqueee..... pi zero w.... pi zero with wifi and bt...23:01
ali1234FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF23:03
zmoylan-pirampaging mobs of geeks congregating around hardware shops... i must get a rasp pi inspector t-shirt and badge printed... :-P23:05
ali1234it still has the crappy old ARMv6 processor23:08
diddledanwait, what?!23:08
zmoylan-piit's a pi zero.  it's main goal was small and low power not for compiling kernels23:10
ali1234it means you can't run any decent operating system on it23:11
ali1234no ubuntu, no android23:11
daftykins^23:12
daftykinszmoylan-pi will defend them to the death regardless ;)23:12
ali1234raspbian, debian armel (no FPU), or arch (lol)23:12
ali1234those are your choices23:13
daftykinszmoylan-pi: aren't you happy enough about getting a new nokia dumbphone *AND* a Psion replacement? :D23:13
* zmoylan-pi offers ali1234 and daftykins their choice of foam swords or axes for combat... :-P23:14
zmoylan-piwell 2016 killed a lot of people, 2017 is about resurrecting hardware we loved... :-P23:14
ali1234also i'd like to point out that the pi 3 isnt suitable for compiling kernels either, it takes ages23:14
ali1234and it is about 6 times faster than the zero23:15
ali1234but about 100 times slower than my PC23:15
daftykinsi get the idea that new '3310' needs some thorough road testing...23:15
ali1234are they even going to sell the 3310 in europe/america?23:15
zmoylan-pithe new 3310 is... meh... 2g so won't work a lot of places the 2g network is shutdown.  no java apps so no installing useful software23:16
ali1234is it even new at all? or did they just dust off the old plans?23:16
zmoylan-piit looks like a modded nokia 15023:16
zmoylan-pibut it's great advertising for a company only now coming to the android party23:17
zmoylan-piand their high end android looks like a very nice (to some) stock android device23:17
zmoylan-pii joked in another channel a few weeks back that it wouldn't be considered a success unless it was compatible with original pop covers that people have hoarded for 15 years... and i stand by that :-)23:18
daftykinswell they said 2.5g so i'm not sure if that changes anything but yeah, had the same thought - it also better have threaded SMS ;)23:19
zmoylan-piand i want to see a terminator downed by a nokia 3310 to the head before i buy one... or a cracked pavement slab...23:20
diddledanzmoylan-pi: more likely to kill a terminator with a galaxy note 723:20
zmoylan-pitoo much chance of friendly fireball23:20
diddledanooh myy. kinky.23:21
ali1234if any of you see a picture of the bottom of the new pi zero can you send me the link please23:21
daftykinswoohoo i put in the fancy new dCSS device today on the back of my clients' existing satellite dish multiswitch, so £65 solution compared with the Sky installers' proposed £250 one23:22
daftykinsfunctioning just fine in legacy mode (old Sky+ HD boxes) so just need them to bring over the new Sky Q gear tomorrow afternoon and try out the new setup23:23
daftykinsyet another example of why you don't trust cowboys23:23
zmoylan-pithe tech support in india is much better23:24
daftykinsexcept maybe with a cattle rustling problem...23:24
daftykinshow do you factor tech support in? :)23:25
zmoylan-piwell you said the cowboys were no use so it must have been the indians who fixed it... :-P23:26
daftykinshttp://www.satelliteandaerialsupplies.com/product/?s=global-invacom-d000363-sky-q-multiswitch-dscr-adaptor23:28
daftykinsthis puppy from a very helpful UK fella sorted things out (at least, assuming success tomorrow)23:28
zmoylan-pifingers crossed all goes well23:28
daftykinsno surprises, Sky are trying to trash satellite setups by making them solely work with Sky boxes only in the new Sky Q systems, if the installer comes and fits their new LNB to the dish you won't be able to use freesat on it23:29
zmoylan-pidon't worry i'm sure the monopoly people will stop that real soon nowâ„¢23:30
daftykins:D23:30
diddledandaftykins: at those prices are you sure _you're_ not the cowboy?!23:30
* zmoylan-pi plays spaghetti western standoff music as diddledan faces daftykins down...23:31
daftykinsi checked for a horse and everything, i swear!23:32
zmoylan-pias long as they pony up he'll be happy23:32
daftykinsoh even better than that, i ordered on their card \o/23:32
diddledanhaha23:32
daftykinscycled through the heavy rain today to retrieve it from the postie though, i ordered it by Friday lunch and they tried to drop it off Saturday!23:33
daftykinspretty impressive for rock post23:33
daftykinsanywho bed for me, can't even read the screen with these new specs :(23:35
daftykinsta-ra \o23:36
