diddledanright-oh12:00
diddledanI've also been looking at makemkv (the dvd/blurry ripper) but am unsure as to the legal ramifications of snapping it12:01
diddledanthe license from makemkv themselves allows repackaging, but there is the grey area of drm circumvention12:02
diddledanCFT is out now on the GIMP package12:36

diddledanello popey popester12:55
diddledanI still need to look into the process to get people canonised so we can petition for popey to be the next pontif12:55
diddledanI've been amazon prime daying12:56
diddledan>.<12:56
diddledanso many stuff12:56
diddledanmuch things12:56
diddledanwow12:56
zmoylan-pii thought the amazon prime thing was a bit scammy with most of the deals not so great?12:59
Davethe only time I've got something from one is when they did a cheap Kindle13:12
diddledanthey're doing echo units with £70 off if you're into those13:12
zmoylan-pisee an echo unit stopped a domestic incident in usa when the abuser asked the victim dir you call the sheriffs? so it did...13:13
popeyI have been resisting primeday13:14
diddledanI don't get that unless he yelled the startword13:14
popeyalthough I'd probably buy two more echos if pushed13:14
diddledanYOU FSCKING WOMAN. OK GOOGLE, DID YOU PHONE THE SHERIFS?13:14
zmoylan-pihttp://mashable.com/2017/07/10/amazon-echo-calls-sheriff/13:15
diddledanit only makes sense if she was called alexa13:15
diddledanthe whole point of prompt keywords is that it prevents exactly that kind of scenario, so the story is wrong13:16
zmoylan-piyet the sheriffs were called... the mystery deepens...13:17
zmoylan-pisounds like one of these 3 day stories were lots of misinformation gets out until the true story leaks out when everyone has lost interest...13:18
diddledan"echo unit that phoned the police actually woman with mobile phone"13:19
diddledanin fact, I don't believe the echo service has telephone calling capability13:20
zmoylan-piit can't make 911 calls. it can call contacts but you have to use exact phrase... i suspect that will turn out to be it13:21
zmoylan-pi'alexa call sheriffs' sorta thing13:21
zmoylan-pieither way, the plod turned up where they were needed...13:21
zmoylan-pii still don't want one in my gaff13:23
popeyif you say "alexa, call the police" she says "I'm not quite sure how to help you with that"13:24
diddledanI don't even want to try it13:25
zmoylan-pibut you can add a contact police and include a number but they seem to have a block on 911 calls in usa as against t&c of unit13:25
popeyyou cant call anyone13:25
diddledanit's like americans getting new iphones for xmas the first thing they do is dial 911 because their sim isn't activated yet13:25
popeyit has no concept of calling13:25
zmoylan-piprobably to avoid the false alarms calls and be a repeat of all the cheap home alarms in the 80s that brought in legislation to prevent false alarms calling the police13:26
popeyit's just not designed to be used like that13:26
popeyit's not a phone :)13:26
zmoylan-piyet...13:27
zmoylan-pithey seem keen to push a new intercom /feature/13:27
MooDoohowdy all13:37

MooDoowell looks like silverstone has activated a break clause to not host any grand prix's after 2019  wow :(13:40
diddledanyeah, I saw that13:40
zmoylan-pisilverstone with no f1... does not compute...13:41
diddledanI wonder if they'll be able to negotiate a better deal or if it goes elsewhere or britain loses the slot altogether13:42
zmoylan-pihost drone races there, less wear and tear on the track :-D13:43
popeyhah13:44

zmoylan-pimaybe add virtual or nerf weapons to add more variety... :-)13:47
zmoylan-pibe fun to watch fliers trying to fly past a nerf armed crowd.  direct route = more chance of nerf hit v safe but slower route...13:53

diddledanI need to figure out what to do with 30 spare network ports on my switch21:59
diddledanit's a noisy buffer tho21:59
zmoylan-pirent them out to the nsa, gchq, fsb for any equipment they want to have lying around. make money at h$me n$w :-)22:00
diddledanguess I need to open it up to see if the fans can be quiesced any22:00
diddledanstill, it's better than running three separate 8-port switches - was running out of power holes22:02
zmoylan-pinow you just need to find a few devices that run on power over ethernet...22:09
diddledanzmoylan-pi: national horrorday tomorrow?22:45
diddledanoh, n. ireland22:45
diddledandoes the battle of the boyne get celebrated south of the bordeR?22:45
zmoylan-pinot that anyone would notice23:02
zmoylan-pithe orange men did try and march in dublin a few years back but eejits had a riot to stop them23:03
diddledangotta love a good riot for preventing freedom of expression23:05
zmoylan-pithis was deffo a good riot23:19
diddledannone of the namby pamby nonsense I hope23:21
diddledana proper full on looting and fires and overturned cars23:22
zmoylan-piover turned cars, fires, using paving slabs thrown as frisbies to slow riot police... no looting, profiting from a riot would sully their motives...23:23

diddledansinn fein AND republican sinn fein. that aren't the same. like the IRA and the _REAL_ IRA. oh and the Provisional IRA. it's as bad as all those populist judean fronts23:27

zmoylan-pias was said many many years ago in ireland by a wise man, the first thing on the agenda of any new irish group is the split :-)23:27
zmoylan-pithe ira without going into pira, cira is about a dozen seperate groups at different times by different people leaning left, right, centre politically23:29
