zmoylan-piit'll be dearer, worse and wonky...13:06
diddledan"Windows 10 S"13:48
diddledan"has a new desktop image"13:49
diddledanthat's a headline feature right there13:50
diddledanonly runs windows apps from the store13:53
SuperMattI'm not surprised, it's not different from google play, or the apple app store13:54
zmoylan-piwell you can sideload apps on android13:55
zmoylan-pithe day google remove that i'll chuck all my android devices through their windows one by one... could take ages if i find all my ancient devices.... :-P13:56
SuperEngineeris it time to say "zzzzz" or "ssshhhhh" yet? [or maybe just a teensy weensy quick BOO!] ;-)14:13
=== NET||abuse_ is now known as NET||abuse
diddledan"codebuilder for minecraft education edition"14:18
foobarryminecraft for minecraft, minecraft edition14:30
SuperEngineerMnecraft for train spotters.... boring edition14:31
diddledanwhat really annoys me about the various minecraft versions is they don't interoperate14:34
diddledanand like the windows 10 edition doesn't support the same "mods" as the java version14:34
diddledanwas there a split or did irccloud go down?14:57
AzelphurI got disconnected - not using IRCCloud14:58

zmoylan-pithat sounds really cheap and accessible to school kids...15:21
diddledan$99915:21
zmoylan-pithat'll kill the chromebook market... :-P15:22
zmoylan-pior if it runs linux well really boost the linux market :-)15:28
zmoylan-piah cheap ones for $189... https://liliputing.com/2017/05/microsoft-surface-laptop-designed-students.html15:44
zmoylan-pibut they all seem capable of been upgraded to full win10 so that suggests they'll run linux despite ms efforts to lock them down...15:46
zmoylan-piso might be a better option for those who want netbooks than trying linux options on a chromebook15:47
diddledan189 isn't for the ms device15:47
diddledan189 is third-party crud15:48
zmoylan-pithat's more my end of the market... :-)15:49
diddledanthe upgrade to win10pro is free15:49
diddledanmodems in 2017: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17zfz017s9A16:11

* zmoylan-pi is tring to remember if the opera he is using is using server side compression to speed up things...16:42
zmoylan-piah the icon on the toolbar is turned off :-)16:42
daftykinsi know a guy in the US on satellite, but also know a guy up in Michigan whose in-laws are on dial-up heh16:43
daftykinsperpetually non-updated software16:44
zmoylan-piyeah, when my brother was on dial up out in the sticks i had to replace his windows pc with a mac as he never let it download 4mb of av updates twice a week for some reason...16:45
zmoylan-pithe mac needed fewer updates and i could throw them on a cd once a month16:45
zmoylan-pithen he rang his phone company once a month till they got annoyed and gave him broadband...16:46
daftykinsknowingly supplying a mac, nasty! :)16:50
zmoylan-piat the time they were the best option... i'd happily install windows if it were the best option and if that level of crazy ever happens i'll let you know... :-D16:51
daftykins:>16:51
daftykinsjust taken my four legged friend to a local cattery today, her new digs whilst the insurance work goes on16:52
zmoylan-piand when she gets back a great threat for when she misbehaves in future... :-P16:53
zmoylan-pido you want to go back to moggy prison? do you? :-)16:53
daftykins;)16:54
daftykinsgetting to be about time to power everything off here, electrician comes tomorrow i think16:54
zmoylan-piwill you be able to visit her while she is there? or is that discouraged?16:54
daftykinssounds like you can if you call and arrange ahead of time16:55
daftykinsassuming she doesn't cause any trouble in the showers and the warden permits it...16:55
zmoylan-pihad a mate who's cat escaped from cattery while he was on holiday.  she climbed a smooth 12foot wall and crawled out a tiny hole as best as they could work out16:56
daftykinsdedication!16:56
zmoylan-pifound a few months later living on a farm, wiping out rats to a farmers delight...16:56
daftykinsbet the farmer didn't want to let her go back!16:56
zmoylan-pihe was disappointed to let her go but wanted what was best for her16:57
zmoylan-pishe would line up rat bodies in front of the barn... he was impressed with her neatness...16:57
daftykinsO_O16:58
