brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 08:01 |

foobarry | this looks great. mac only though :( | 09:17 |
daftykins | i think if you've got to stare, it's already too slow | 09:24 |
zmoylan-pi | i've always wanted my super expensive laptop to look like a zx spectrum :-D | 09:31 |
arsenip | that's cool | 09:31 |
* arsenip has a mac | 09:31 | |
foobarry | remember the Elite carboard overlay? | 10:26 |
daftykins | nope! | 10:27 |
zmoylan-pi | i bought it on budget label, no overlay | 10:29 |
zmoylan-pi | but i do remember people complaining about it falling apart from a lot of use... | 10:53 |
diplo | Anyone run LetOS at all ? | 13:24 |
diplo | Lenovo thin client app | 13:25 |
diplo | OS even | 13:25 |
foobarry | nop | 13:29 |
daftykins | had to look that one up :> | 13:30 |
diplo | hah me too! | 13:36 |
diplo | One of our customers has bought some and then asked, can we do this with them :) | 13:36 |
diplo | Dunno, you tell us?!? | 13:37 |
foobarry | do you have to buy the management suite? | 13:50 |
foobarry | Terminals running in a zero client configuration are easily managed centrally; either through this DNS environment or through LTM, whichever should the system administrator so desire. | 13:50 |
foobarry | maybe not | 13:50 |
diplo | You don't have to, I didn't when I ran the wyse | 13:51 |
foobarry | its a bit odd when the top link on google isn't even lenovo | 13:51 |
diplo | but basically what I want to know is what OS it's running and whether its easy enough to install other software, first googles are not promising, we use certain F keys to do certain things with our software | 13:51 |
diplo | I just want to tell the customer to F off, you bought it, your issue | 13:52 |
diplo | But I'll get overruled no doubt | 13:52 |
zmoylan-pi | oooooh, https://support.lenovo.com/ie/en/solutions/hf004001 | 13:53 |
diplo | thanks, found an admin guide pdf, quick scan of that now | 13:59 |
zmoylan-pi | seems the linux variant gets as much space as the windows embedded variant which is nice to see | 13:59 |
diplo | I honestly don't think they understand what they've bought | 14:00 |
diplo | hese packages will be in a squashfs file type | 14:03 |
zmoylan-pi | some boss at a show got wined and dined and woke up the next day with a receipt in his back pocket... | 14:05 |
diplo | These people are a bit tight, saw a PC for £200~ and thought yeah I'll have that | 14:06 |
diplo | We sell NUCs running Linux, but need some other software to connect to ours, but probably £300+ | 14:07 |
daftykins | hmm NUCs are a bit dear given the extra requirement of screens etc | 15:18 |
daftykins | i'd definitely agree on first glance it looked wholly unsuitable for a custom Linux to be thrown on, if that's the idea | 15:18 |
zmoylan-pi | considering they roll android into all those tvs you'd think someone would be making thin client option | 15:21 |
daftykins | just need to sideload the APK to a remote desktop tech and it's almost done :D | 15:22 |
foobarry | http://imgur.com/a/ln9KV waiting for the unicorn HAT LED display to round it off | 15:22 |
daftykins | haha | 15:25 |
diplo | Customers want small daftykins - seems to be willing to pay for them + our costs on top - then again customers aren't the brightest | 15:26 |
foobarry | https://shop.pimoroni.com/collections/raspberry-pi/products/unicorn-hat-hd | 15:26 |
daftykins | diplo: what about low spec laptops though? as much as you lose upgradability | 15:28 |
daftykins | must admit i have no idea of the requirements :> | 15:28 |
zmoylan-pi | yeah, volunteering information in those circumstances puts you on the line when anything fails no matter what it is | 15:29 |
daftykins | just had a meet with the builders at my house, they're gonna resume work next Tuesday :D insurance adjuster demons slain at last | 15:32 |
zmoylan-pi | shhhh!! don't say that out loud!! :-) | 15:33 |
daftykins | :D | 15:33 |

zmoylan-pi | the cables are taking more space than the pi... | 15:42 |
daftykins | spaghetti! | 15:42 |
zmoylan-pi | it's been blessed by his noodly appendage... | 15:43 |
czajkowski | *yawns* | 15:52 |
czajkowski | aloha | 15:52 |
daftykins | ah 'lo stranger \o | 15:53 |
ali1234 | foobarry: you should get pi zeros and zerostems and a USB hub to clean up that cable mess | 15:58 |

nhandler | Hello Ubuntu UK folks. We will be holding our first ever freenode #live conference (https://freenode.live/) at the end of October in Bristol. We would love to have Ubuntu UK members in attendance, giving talks, and helping to organize/run a booth. If you are interested, or know of other people/groups that might be, feel free to follow the directions on the website or reach out to me (nhandler@freenode.net) directly. | 15:59 |
ali1234 | clustering like this is the reason i designed it :) | 16:00 |
czajkowski | daftykins: always here, just up the walls | 16:20 |
czajkowski | nhandler: ola! | 16:20 |
nhandler | Hi czajkowski :) | 16:20 |
daftykins | i blame that diddledan for that ;) | 16:20 |
czajkowski | daftykins: no it's always blame popey | 16:23 |
daftykins | ah very good | 16:23 |
m0nkey_ | You guys can breath easy once again. I have left the UK and returned home. | 17:17 |
daftykins | phew, i'll call off the team watching the north coast of the island | 17:26 |
daftykins | m0nkey_: how was the trip? | 17:26 |
m0nkey_ | It was good | 17:33 |
m0nkey_ | Sun burnt, nearly knocked out, all good though :) | 17:33 |
daftykins | you got in a fight? :P | 17:34 |
m0nkey_ | No, wife was closing the boot of the rental car, I was still under it. | 17:34 |
daftykins | sheesh! | 17:34 |
m0nkey_ | Profanity was abundant. | 17:34 |
daftykins | and i'll bet you had some choice words for her, too ;) | 17:35 |
m0nkey_ | It was an accident. She felt pretty bad about it too. | 17:35 |
daftykins | wow Postman Pat is going all-electric | 18:08 |
diddledan | m0nkey_: gives you both an excuse to cuddle to reassure each other that you're all good | 19:51 |
diddledan | cuddles ftw | 19:51 |
daftykins | :D | 22:14 |
zmoylan-pi | so a small emp device will prevent the post van doing a runner after ninjaing a 'while you were out' notice in your letterbox... | 22:15 |
daftykins | excellent! | 22:15 |
