jeritOn 16 March 2017 around 11h15 on the corners JG Strydom and Old Vereeniging road, Fox Tactical unit together with Backendowns SAPS and other security firms, as well as Afriforum and CPF held a special ops.They chased two suspects in the feld and apprehended them on Old Vereeniging road. The SAPS found a knife on one of the suspects which are being used in robbing people. A job very well done to all and everyone involved.11:11
jeritall of those resources for 2 suspects armed with 1 knife...11:12

jeritMaNI: I know right, like wtf... a pair of cops could have done the same job, but they invest at least 30 people in it?14:41
MaNImaybe they were expecting something bigger, but don't want to call it a failure. Or maybe it's delibrate overkill, like using a shotgun to kill a snail or something14:42
MaNI"We are so tough on crime that if you have a knife we will track you down with 30 people from 10 different organisations" sort of thing14:42
MaNIheh14:42
jeritlol who even knows in SA anymore14:43
jeritThe country that makes it legal for 12 year olds to consent to sex in order to lower the rate of statutory rape14:43
jeritThe country that lowers the pass mark for different subjects so that they can say that more students are passing14:44

Kilosi banned that thing in africa and bd18:20
inetproai!18:20
Kilosothers are also offended by it18:20
Kiloswhat18:20
Kilosfreenode too slow18:21
Kilosbut good evening to you anyway18:21
nasanzeroevening guys18:22
Kilosni nasanzero 18:22
nasanzerohi Kilos inetpro 18:23
nasanzerojust reading about amd ryzen cpu's - they are quiet good value for money18:24
magellanicuntil you convert to rands? :p18:31
nasanzeroits expensive - $400 vs intel $100018:34
magellanicdid they release prices on the cheaper models, 3 and 5 I think it is? I know pricing for 7 was out18:35
nasanzerobut its aimed at people that do video effects and encoding that already spend thousands (ten thousands)18:36
magellanicyeah18:36
nasanzerothey are going to be released on 11 april but i cant confirm pricing as yet 18:36
magellanicapparently intel dropped prices when the 7 was announced 18:37
nasanzeroat least they have a competitor to keep pricing down18:43
magellanicyeah +118:44
Kilosai! cellc18:49
Kiloshopefully their techie gets here soon, this is murder18:50
magellanicI got an sms from them today, saying there is more coverage in your area, and better speeds. Then I looked closely, and I was roaming :p18:51
MaNIremember to factor in motherboard prices when comparing as well, historically AMD motherboards tend to be somewhat cheaper than AMD ones here in za. No idea if that's going to be true for ryzen or not, but just saying for a full cost comparison you have to look at the whole picture ;)18:52
MaNIergh cheaper than intel ones I mean18:52
magellanicyeah, I also wonder if it has built in graphics, like the intel hd stuff, because the hd stuff tends to work really well out that box with linux18:54
nasanzerothats true MaNI - plus the ryzen needs ddr4/3200 to be at its true power 18:54
nasanzeroi think all cpu come with built in graphics 18:55
magellanicquick googling suggests they don't have integrated graphics, so factor in graphics card cost too, maybe18:58
nasanzeromaybe its in the northbridge not the cpu itself19:00
magellanicah yes19:01
nasanzeroi am holding on to when 17" laptops get more affordable 19:02
MaNIso over 17" laptops - such heavy clunky things, utter pain to travel with - I think the next laptop I have must be tiny.19:15
nasanzerowhat brand was it MaNI ? the high performance ones tend to be heavy 19:17
MaNIHP, but it's not even a high performance one, those are even worse19:18
magellanican ultrabook type thing, without stuff like dvd rom etc19:20
nasanzerochromebook ? 19:22
nasanzeroif there was linux for the nextbook - it would be nice as well19:23
magellanicyeah, but some of them are a pain to get linux onto, and ship without enough memory IMO19:23
nasanzerowhat happened to ubuntu phones and tablet ?19:24
magellanicno idea, I think phone was killed19:25
nasanzerothe phone will have to compete against android -> thats already a very difficult battle19:27
MaNIsailfish seems the best hope for a proper linux smartphone at the moment, but it's a pretty faint hope19:27
magellanicyeah and firefox phone was killed too I believe19:28
nasanzeroi think its the easy of use that really sells today -> simplified apps to do 1 thing19:30
magellanicand the addictive/entertainment stuff, social network, games, media streaming stuff19:32
nasanzeromagellanic:  +119:32
nasanzeroplaying around with a 10" laptop?/microtop - put mint 17 on it 19:39
magellanichope it isn't one of those intel atom jobs, I had one that drove me insane19:45
nasanzeroahh but it is 19:47
nasanzero512 ram 8G eMMC hdd 19:48
nasanzeroperfect for the terminal lover 19:48
nasanzeronow if i can only get a dark theme to work 19:48
magellanicouch yeah, I had ubuntu on mine and tried to browse and other basic things, just frustrated me19:49
nasanzerotyping is difficulty on the small keyboard19:54
magellanicyeah and don't dare open a browser on it, they sell them with windows, I can't imagine how people use those things with windows20:00
nasanzeroi am surprised that it runs mint very smoothly20:01
magellanicuntil you open a few apps :p20:02
nasanzeroonly need a terminal - mint is the only distro that installed properly every other 1 i tried kept failing at the very end - loading grub 20:03
nasanzerogood night all its was good talking to you magellanic and mani20:10
Kilosnight all. sleep tight21:32
Kiloshi superfly night superfly 21:32
