[07:36] Morning all [08:01] morning boys and girls. [09:17] https://www.amazon.com/HRH-Functional-Shortcuts-Keyboard-Silicone/dp/B01MFXLBO9 [09:17] this looks great. mac only though :( [09:24] i think if you've got to stare, it's already too slow [09:31] i've always wanted my super expensive laptop to look like a zx spectrum :-D [09:31] that's cool [09:31] * arsenip has a mac [10:26] remember the Elite carboard overlay? [10:27] nope! [10:29] i bought it on budget label, no overlay [10:53] but i do remember people complaining about it falling apart from a lot of use... [13:24] Anyone run LetOS at all ? [13:25] Lenovo thin client app [13:25] OS even [13:29] nop [13:30] had to look that one up :> [13:36] hah me too! [13:36] One of our customers has bought some and then asked, can we do this with them :) [13:37] Dunno, you tell us?!? [13:50] do you have to buy the management suite? [13:50] 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] maybe not [13:51] You don't have to, I didn't when I ran the wyse [13:51] its a bit odd when the top link on google isn't even lenovo [13:51] 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 [13:52] I just want to tell the customer to F off, you bought it, your issue [13:52] But I'll get overruled no doubt [13:53] oooooh, https://support.lenovo.com/ie/en/solutions/hf004001 [13:59] thanks, found an admin guide pdf, quick scan of that now [13:59] seems the linux variant gets as much space as the windows embedded variant which is nice to see [14:00] I honestly don't think they understand what they've bought [14:03] hese packages will be in a squashfs file type [14:05] some boss at a show got wined and dined and woke up the next day with a receipt in his back pocket... [14:06] These people are a bit tight, saw a PC for £200~ and thought yeah I'll have that [14:07] We sell NUCs running Linux, but need some other software to connect to ours, but probably £300+ [15:18] hmm NUCs are a bit dear given the extra requirement of screens etc [15:18] i'd definitely agree on first glance it looked wholly unsuitable for a custom Linux to be thrown on, if that's the idea [15:21] considering they roll android into all those tvs you'd think someone would be making thin client option [15:22] just need to sideload the APK to a remote desktop tech and it's almost done :D [15:22] http://imgur.com/a/ln9KV waiting for the unicorn HAT LED display to round it off [15:25] haha [15:26] 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] https://shop.pimoroni.com/collections/raspberry-pi/products/unicorn-hat-hd [15:28] diplo: what about low spec laptops though? as much as you lose upgradability [15:28] must admit i have no idea of the requirements :> [15:29] yeah, volunteering information in those circumstances puts you on the line when anything fails no matter what it is [15:32] just had a meet with the builders at my house, they're gonna resume work next Tuesday :D insurance adjuster demons slain at last [15:33] shhhh!! don't say that out loud!! :-) [15:33] :D [15:41] http://imgur.com/a/ah9i1 [15:42] the cables are taking more space than the pi... [15:42] spaghetti! [15:43] it's been blessed by his noodly appendage... [15:52] *yawns* [15:52] aloha [15:53] ah 'lo stranger \o [15:58] foobarry: you should get pi zeros and zerostems and a USB hub to clean up that cable mess [15:59] https://zerostem.io/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/zeros-in-hub.jpg [15:59] 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. [16:00] clustering like this is the reason i designed it :) [16:20] daftykins: always here, just up the walls [16:20] nhandler: ola! [16:20] Hi czajkowski :) [16:20] i blame that diddledan for that ;) [16:23] daftykins: no it's always blame popey [16:23] ah very good [17:17] You guys can breath easy once again. I have left the UK and returned home. [17:26] phew, i'll call off the team watching the north coast of the island [17:26] m0nkey_: how was the trip? [17:33] It was good [17:33] Sun burnt, nearly knocked out, all good though :) [17:34] you got in a fight? :P [17:34] No, wife was closing the boot of the rental car, I was still under it. [17:34] sheesh! [17:34] Profanity was abundant. [17:35] and i'll bet you had some choice words for her, too ;) [17:35] It was an accident. She felt pretty bad about it too. [18:08] wow Postman Pat is going all-electric [19:51] m0nkey_: gives you both an excuse to cuddle to reassure each other that you're all good [19:51] cuddles ftw [22:14] :D [22:15] 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] excellent!
