[02:51] * m0nkey_ looks in [03:04] you lot are too quiet === lan3y is now known as Laney [09:03] Morning all [09:05] Morning all === diplo_ is now known as diplo [09:13] morning boys and girls. [11:10] JamesTait: is there a reason you haven't published the day everywhere have you just fallen out with the rest of the t'interwebz [11:11] davmor2, there is a reason - my freenode connection failed at first, and I dind't come back to do it. 😉 [11:11] Happy Monday, and happy No Brainer Day! 😃 [11:11] JamesTait: slacker [11:11] I've got half a week's worth of emails to catch up on! [11:11] JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ejga4kJUts [15:21] hello lo lo lo lo o o o o [16:09] https://twitter.com/mikko/status/836246609541251072 [16:11] diddledan: he seemed to miss server, supercomputers and cloud [16:11] true [16:12] diddledan: oh and GPU compute modules [16:12] * diddledan computes some GPUs === webpigeon_ is now known as webpigeon [17:36] aww, he just wants a hug: https://twitter.com/helenhousandi/status/836268308420788228 [17:55] diddledan: hahahahaha [18:38] a warm leg to cling to on a cold day... [18:47] 14 [18:47] sorry [18:48] 12 - that's ok [18:48] that's numberwang? [18:49] I thought it was wangernum [18:49] was meant to have been with /win [21:39] wat: http://www.spacex.com/news/2017/02/27/spacex-send-privately-crewed-dragon-spacecraft-beyond-moon-next-year [21:41] i remember when i was a kid and they actually landed their ships there... :-P [23:01] squeee..... pi zero w.... pi zero with wifi and bt... [23:03] FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF [23:05] rampaging mobs of geeks congregating around hardware shops... i must get a rasp pi inspector t-shirt and badge printed... :-P [23:08] it still has the crappy old ARMv6 processor [23:08] wait, what?! [23:10] it's a pi zero. it's main goal was small and low power not for compiling kernels [23:11] it means you can't run any decent operating system on it [23:11] no ubuntu, no android [23:12] ^ [23:12] zmoylan-pi will defend them to the death regardless ;) [23:12] raspbian, debian armel (no FPU), or arch (lol) [23:13] those are your choices [23:13] zmoylan-pi: aren't you happy enough about getting a new nokia dumbphone *AND* a Psion replacement? :D [23:14] * zmoylan-pi offers ali1234 and daftykins their choice of foam swords or axes for combat... :-P [23:14] well 2016 killed a lot of people, 2017 is about resurrecting hardware we loved... :-P [23:14] also i'd like to point out that the pi 3 isnt suitable for compiling kernels either, it takes ages [23:15] and it is about 6 times faster than the zero [23:15] but about 100 times slower than my PC [23:15] i get the idea that new '3310' needs some thorough road testing... [23:15] are they even going to sell the 3310 in europe/america? [23:16] the 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 software [23:16] is it even new at all? or did they just dust off the old plans? [23:16] it looks like a modded nokia 150 [23:17] but it's great advertising for a company only now coming to the android party [23:17] and their high end android looks like a very nice (to some) stock android device [23:18] i 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 :-) [23:19] well 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 ;) [23:20] and 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] zmoylan-pi: more likely to kill a terminator with a galaxy note 7 [23:20] too much chance of friendly fireball [23:21] ooh myy. kinky. [23:21] if any of you see a picture of the bottom of the new pi zero can you send me the link please [23:22] woohoo 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 one [23:23] functioning 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 setup [23:23] yet another example of why you don't trust cowboys [23:24] the tech support in india is much better [23:24] except maybe with a cattle rustling problem... [23:25] how do you factor tech support in? :) [23:26] well you said the cowboys were no use so it must have been the indians who fixed it... :-P [23:28] http://www.satelliteandaerialsupplies.com/product/?s=global-invacom-d000363-sky-q-multiswitch-dscr-adaptor [23:28] this puppy from a very helpful UK fella sorted things out (at least, assuming success tomorrow) [23:28] fingers crossed all goes well [23:29] no 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 it [23:30] don't worry i'm sure the monopoly people will stop that real soon now™ [23:30] :D [23:30] daftykins: at those prices are you sure _you're_ not the cowboy?! [23:31] * zmoylan-pi plays spaghetti western standoff music as diddledan faces daftykins down... [23:32] i checked for a horse and everything, i swear! [23:32] as long as they pony up he'll be happy [23:32] oh even better than that, i ordered on their card \o/ [23:32] haha [23:33] cycled 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] pretty impressive for rock post [23:35] anywho bed for me, can't even read the screen with these new specs :( [23:36] ta-ra \o [23:36] o/ [23:39] * diddledan watching orphan black [23:39] and ripping dvds [23:42] * zmoylan-pi moseys off to grab a shower...
