foobarrythis looks great. mac only though :(09:17
daftykinsi think if you've got to stare, it's already too slow09:24
zmoylan-pii've always wanted my super expensive laptop to look like a zx spectrum :-D09:31
arsenipthat's cool09:31
* arsenip has a mac09:31
foobarryremember the Elite carboard overlay?10:26
daftykinsnope!10:27
zmoylan-pii bought it on budget label, no overlay10:29
zmoylan-pibut i do remember people complaining about it falling apart from a lot of use...10:53
diploAnyone run LetOS at all ?13:24
diploLenovo thin client app13:25
diploOS even13:25
foobarrynop13:29
daftykinshad to look that one up :>13:30
diplohah me too!13:36
diploOne of our customers has bought some and then asked, can we do this with them :)13:36
diploDunno, you tell us?!?13:37
foobarrydo you have to buy the management suite?13:50
foobarryTerminals 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
foobarrymaybe not13:50
diploYou don't have to, I didn't when I ran the wyse13:51
foobarryits a bit odd when the top link on google isn't even lenovo13:51
diplobut 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 software13:51
diploI just want to tell the customer to F off, you bought it, your issue13:52
diploBut I'll get overruled no doubt13:52
zmoylan-pioooooh, https://support.lenovo.com/ie/en/solutions/hf00400113:53
diplothanks, found an admin guide pdf, quick scan of that now13:59
zmoylan-piseems the linux variant gets as much space as the windows embedded variant which is nice to see13:59
diploI honestly don't think they understand what they've bought14:00
diplohese packages will be in a squashfs file type14:03
zmoylan-pisome boss at a show got wined and dined and woke up the next day with a receipt in his back pocket...14:05
diploThese people are a bit tight, saw a PC for £200~ and thought yeah I'll have that14:06
diploWe sell NUCs running Linux, but need some other software to connect to ours, but probably £300+14:07
daftykinshmm NUCs are a bit dear given the extra requirement of screens etc15:18
daftykinsi'd definitely agree on first glance it looked wholly unsuitable for a custom Linux to be thrown on, if that's the idea15:18
zmoylan-piconsidering they roll android into all those tvs you'd think someone would be making thin client option15:21
daftykinsjust need to sideload the APK to a remote desktop tech and it's almost done :D15:22
foobarryhttp://imgur.com/a/ln9KV waiting for the unicorn HAT LED display to round it off15:22
daftykinshaha15:25
diploCustomers want small daftykins - seems to be willing to pay for them + our costs on top - then again customers aren't the brightest15:26
foobarryhttps://shop.pimoroni.com/collections/raspberry-pi/products/unicorn-hat-hd15:26
daftykinsdiplo: what about low spec laptops though? as much as you lose upgradability15:28
daftykinsmust admit i have no idea of the requirements :>15:28
zmoylan-piyeah, volunteering information in those circumstances puts you on the line when anything fails no matter what it is15:29
daftykinsjust had a meet with the builders at my house, they're gonna resume work next Tuesday :D insurance adjuster demons slain at last15:32
zmoylan-pishhhh!! don't say that out loud!! :-)15:33
