| diplo | ooh interesting | 09:25 |
| * diplo saves that for the way back | 09:25 | |
| zmoylan-pi | now all those phones with out head phone jacks are vulnerable :-) | 09:27 |
| diplo | Right better packlaptopaway | 09:27 |
| MooDoo | later | 09:28 |
| zmoylan-pi | you need a smaller irc doohickey :-) | 09:29 |
| zmoylan-pi | in another channel iphones facial recognigition is a reason not to buy iphone x for his twin teenage daughters... :-P | 09:37 |
| === pev is now known as pevsonic | ||
| === pevsonic is now known as pevster | ||
| diddledan | zmoylan-pi: twins? what could go wrong?! | 11:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | well for iphone x all twins are evil :-) | 11:29 |
| zmoylan-pi | especially when teenager | 11:30 |
| diddledan | https://www.macrumors.com/2017/09/13/doubts-speculation-face-id-fail-iphone-x-keynote/ | 12:37 |
| diddledan | haha, the adverts on that page as I loaded it are all for samsung via the carphone warehouse | 12:37 |
| zmoylan-pi | there are adverts on web pages?! | 12:38 |
| diddledan | what's a web page? | 12:46 |
| diddledan | is that like Internet Explorer? | 12:47 |
| zmoylan-pi | sure, you just view them in netscape excel... | 12:49 |
| diddledan | I was talking to Joe the other day and he said that netscape are going communist | 12:50 |
| diddledan | something to do with open hippies | 12:51 |
| * diddledan strokes his neckbeard | 13:03 | |
| m0nkey_ | hippy | 13:26 |
| diddledan | err.. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2017-September/017670.html | 13:28 |
| diddledan | how about you configure your own system how you want it?! | 13:28 |
| diddledan | IMO that is merely a sysadmin fail | 13:30 |
| MooDoo | yup me too | 13:30 |
| diddledan | the BFG: https://twitter.com/IamHappyToast/status/907970755937304576 | 14:14 |
| diddledan | jeepus, America! https://twitter.com/make5calls/status/907976554541596672 | 14:39 |
| diddledan | I wonder why we're drawn to stories about dystopias | 14:47 |
| diddledan | maybe it's a reinforcement thing that what we're watching proves that our world can still get much worse | 14:49 |
| Laney | "your ISA money could be earning a market leading variable rate of 1.15% tax-free p.a./AER" | 17:19 |
| Laney | jokers | 17:20 |
| diddledan | daftykins: zmoylan-pi : I hope shauno doesn't see https://youtu.be/sjlHnJvXdQs | 17:41 |
| zmoylan-pi | people are already saying they're going to buy it | 17:45 |
| zmoylan-pi | once the sale of their kidney on ebay goes through of course... | 17:46 |
| zmoylan-pi | when you consider for many people that their phone has replaced their laptop for most of what they do online. it seems a bit more reasonable as they used to fork out over a grand for one of those | 17:53 |
| zmoylan-pi | so we're reaching an era like it was in 90s in japan were people didn't own pcs and wrote novels on their phones... | 18:01 |
| ali1234 | wait | 18:10 |
| ali1234 | iphone x is a real thing, and they also made an iphone 8 at the same time? | 18:11 |
| daftykins | yep | 18:11 |
| ali1234 | is "x" pronounced "ten" like OS X? | 18:11 |
| daftykins | one to be the incremental upgrade, the other to push the boundaries | 18:11 |
| daftykins | yep | 18:11 |
| ali1234 | and there's no iphone 9? | 18:11 |
| zmoylan-pi | nein | 18:11 |
| ali1234 | i have no words | 18:12 |
| ali1234 | none that i can say here anyway | 18:12 |
| daftykins | and still the cultists will lap it all up and preorder, amazing | 18:13 |
| ali1234 | i'm not sure they will tbh | 18:15 |
| daftykins | :) | 18:15 |
| zmoylan-pi | we'll have to see what sales numbers are like... | 18:15 |
| zmoylan-pi | those that they release of course... | 18:16 |
| ali1234 | i'm sure they'll sell loads | 18:16 |
| ali1234 | but perhaps fewer than previous iterations | 18:16 |
| zmoylan-pi | but they didn't seem to release a new small phone so that will upset a few | 18:17 |
| ali1234 | it's probably a good mode | 18:17 |
| ali1234 | *move | 18:17 |
| ali1234 | the small phone owners are probably the least likely to upgrade | 18:17 |
| ali1234 | most likely to be happy to keep what they already have | 18:18 |
| zmoylan-pi | but the 5se's are starting to show their age | 18:18 |
| ali1234 | are they though? | 18:18 |
| zmoylan-pi | do they still get updates? | 18:18 |
| daftykins | anything without a 64-bit CPU will be culled shortly | 18:18 |
| zmoylan-pi | for folk with small hands it was optimal | 18:19 |
| ali1234 | maybe that's ho it will go with apple, but in general that won't happen | 18:21 |
| daftykins | which? | 18:23 |
| ali1234 | 64 bit | 18:23 |
| daftykins | yeah probably | 18:23 |
| daftykins | that 5c i got given the other day is 32-bit only so it won't see iOS 11 and likely become redundant very shortly | 18:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | i think the bigger gap in their offerings is that there was no mac book pro yesterday | 18:24 |
| daftykins | huh? | 18:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | or mac pro rather... saw a few channels hoping against hope for something | 18:25 |
| ali1234 | mac pro like desktop? | 18:25 |
| ali1234 | didn't they release a new one last time? | 18:25 |
| daftykins | oh no they already said that won't rear its' head before 2018 or 2019 | 18:25 |
| ali1234 | going back to the classic tower case style? | 18:26 |
| daftykins | yeah they're definitely doing a U turn on it | 18:26 |
| zmoylan-pi | seems people want expandable not an appliance | 18:26 |
| ali1234 | well yeah, if people want an appliance they'll buy a mac book | 18:26 |
| ali1234 | the stupid trash can thing had no market | 18:26 |
| zmoylan-pi | and some old mac books are going for very good money online as you can't buy them new anymore | 18:26 |
| * daftykins giggles over the guy in Dixons Travel at London Gatwick asking for an adapter for a standard USB port on the lowest end macbook | 18:27 | |
| zmoylan-pi | *KERCHING* | 18:31 |
| daftykins | indeedy | 18:31 |
| zmoylan-pi | why are they fetching a red cushion with gold brain? | 18:32 |
| m0nkey_ | Heh, I saw people with the new MacBooks at this conference I went to. It was dongles, dongles everywhere | 18:42 |
| daftykins | :) madness | 18:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | dongles all the way down.... | 18:43 |
| m0nkey_ | At least my Mac has standard USB ports :) | 18:43 |
| m0nkey_ | Advantage of having an old mac | 18:43 |
| daftykins | still a mac though ;) | 18:43 |
| m0nkey_ | It's 5 years old, I'm not replacing it until it dies. | 18:44 |
| zmoylan-pi | till they decide it is no longer mac like enough... | 18:44 |
| m0nkey_ | I'm kinda amazed it's still working actually. | 18:44 |
| zmoylan-pi | mac make or made very good laptops. | 18:44 |
| zmoylan-pi | was common to hear of a student using same macbook all through college whereas windows users were on a new one per year | 18:45 |
| daftykins | the move to soldered in SSDs mean that (almost all) of the very latest models are now just tossable when there's a problem, oh and hope you have a backup... | 18:45 |
| m0nkey_ | mine doesn't have a soldered ssd thankfully | 18:45 |
| daftykins | i think that's more down to the fact they'd buy some <£300 turd and expect to be sorted | 18:46 |
| daftykins | no it's only on the latest models as i said | 18:46 |
| daftykins | no doubt becoming the norm, though | 18:46 |
| daftykins | and before that it was proprietary interfaces that accessory sellers had to reverse engineer | 18:47 |
| zmoylan-pi | chromebooks have sewn up cheap end of market | 18:50 |
| daftykins | nah | 18:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | cheaper to pick up an american iphone... :-) https://twitter.com/juanbuis/status/907883402195595265 | 19:41 |
| daftykins | good if you eat nothing and teleport places | 19:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | you cook feral rats on your travel iron... :-P | 19:44 |
| daftykins | here's a fine news piece: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/09/13/bikini_baristas_police_investigation/ | 20:56 |
| diddledan | "He insisted that all his new hires were told not to expose themselves to customers." <-- because that's what you tell new employees in case it wasn't clear | 21:00 |
| diddledan | anyone who insists on telling people not to do something probably means they want them to do it | 21:01 |
| diddledan | "whatever you do *WINK WINKY WINK* don't *WINKY* strip *WINK* and get extra *wink* money for doing *wink* things!" | 21:02 |
| diddledan | hmm, ftp.heanet.ie is timing out | 21:05 |
| diddledan | obviously that's via http | 21:06 |
| diddledan | https** | 21:06 |
| diddledan | ok, who needs diddlin'!?! | 21:13 |
| daftykins | ooh-err | 21:19 |
| m0nkey_ | Ooh, I got a mention: https://www.ixsystems.com/blog/vbsdcon-2017 | 21:26 |
| diddledan | nice | 21:27 |
| diddledan | you're Internet Famous now | 21:27 |
| daftykins | heh | 21:28 |
| * zmoylan-pi remembers been taken aside on my first job in retail and been shown a club to use in case any one tried to rob the place... | 21:36 | |
| m0nkey_ | I guess I'm officially a BSD guy | 21:37 |
| diddledan | you can't back-out now | 21:37 |
| daftykins | unless you turn m0nkey into a kind of Batman role | 21:38 |
| m0nkey_ | I run pfSense and FreeNAS, maybe I should install FreeBSD on the desktop ;) | 21:38 |
| daftykins | i hope you have the prerequisite facial hair | 21:39 |
| * diddledan hides his beadage | 21:40 | |
| diddledan | beardage* | 21:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | and brown sandals with blue socks? | 21:40 |
| daftykins | diddledan: put those beads away | 21:41 |
| diddledan | but they make my face fungus pretty | 21:41 |
| zmoylan-pi | wow, equifax had admin admin as user name and password in argentina... :-) | 23:05 |
