| SuperMatt | diplo: got my new gpu. Turned everything up to max on Quake Champions, and never dip below 60fps | 11:41 |
| SuperMatt | Not bad for £150 | 11:43 |
| diplo | Awesome news SuperMatt, I'm sold :) | 11:43 |
| SuperMatt | no chance of VR, but that doesn't matter | 11:43 |
| diplo | Doesn't bother me either. | 11:43 |
| diddledan | gdpr gonna kill whois: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/10/26/whois_gdpr_europe/ | 12:52 |
| ali1234 | good | 12:56 |
| ali1234 | whois rules for co.uk are completely retarded | 12:57 |
| zmoy-pixi | that's how you know they're important. the rules have been around long enough they make no sense anymore :-P | 13:03 |
| ali1234 | they never made sense | 13:03 |
| diddledan | "it was Norks. but we won't show you any evidence though": https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/10/27/uk_gov_wannacry_blame_north_korea/ | 18:20 |
| diddledan | zmoylan-samj3: what's your pixi? | 18:50 |
| diddledan | samj3 I guess is a samsung j3 phone. pixi is pixel? | 18:51 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | an alcatel 4 pixi 6" phablet i got for 120shekels to replace a tablet | 18:51 |
| diddledan | aja | 18:51 |
| diddledan | aha* | 18:51 |
| diddledan | 6inch is dinky | 18:51 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | crap phone with huge screen | 18:51 |
| diddledan | aww, how cute! :-p | 18:51 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | i had 7" and 8" tablets but never got much use of them. the 6" is comfy size | 18:52 |
| * diddledan hides his 13inch ipod pro | 18:53 | |
| zmoylan-samj3 | some people get a lot of use from big tablets. some find them gathering dust | 18:53 |
| diddledan | I get more use out of my laptop | 18:54 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | i thought with a tabblet i'd use them for reading 2000ad comics i 'acquired' | 18:54 |
| diddledan | "acquired" yeah. let's go with that. | 18:55 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | but 7" is too small and 10" is still a bit small for centre spreads | 18:55 |
| diddledan | I'm still waiting for the 27inch tablet :-p | 18:55 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | the huge ms surface desktop replacement jobbie might be 'it' | 18:56 |
| diddledan | you can't lug that though | 18:56 |
| diddledan | it's got a tail plugged into the wall | 18:56 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | exactly so not a book reader | 18:56 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | but that size screen. still a foldable, probably crumplable screen tech comes along they'll have to wait | 18:57 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | *till a | 18:57 |
| diddledan | the rumours are claiming apple are doing foldable next year | 18:58 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | apple... rumours... | 18:58 |
| daftykins | foldable chairs? | 18:59 |
| diddledan | I'm still waiting for: https://shipbrook.net/jeff/graphics/GlobalLink/3DModel.jpg | 18:59 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | good show | 18:59 |
| diddledan | shame about the staffing issues | 18:59 |
| diddledan | would be a good candidate to redo, IMO | 19:01 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | hollywood has rebooted evrrything else... | 19:02 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | i would like a new flash gordon as well mind | 19:10 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | i worry about all those unemployed lizard rubber frill gluers | 19:12 |
| daftykins | ok but Brian Blessed is mandatory | 19:13 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | of coursr. we can cgi him and dub in the voice. we need him in recording booth recording phonetic alphabet | 19:14 |
| daftykins | ...isn't he alive? | 19:15 |
| diddledan | we need to digitise him before he karks it though | 19:16 |
| diddledan | crazy bloke has done EVERYTHING though. including being the oldest guy to climb everest | 19:16 |
| daftykins | D: | 19:18 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | last pics i saw of him did not look hgood | 19:18 |
| daftykins | :( that's a shame | 19:18 |
| diddledan | the origins of IDSPISPOPD explained: https://youtu.be/3vHV5B77RM8 | 19:25 |
| diddledan | don't you love when you're reading a document on the X website and it says "more information can be found on the X website" | 20:01 |
| diddledan | like what do you think I'm doing?! | 20:01 |
| diddledan | e.g. at icinga.com: More information can be found on the Icinga Website. | 20:02 |
| diddledan | c.f. https://www.icinga.com/docs/icinga2/latest/doc/13-addons/ | 20:02 |
| daftykins | diddledan: must be X rated | 20:02 |

| zmoylan-samj32 | i'm waiting for bezos to announce amazon uniform of black outfit with face concealing helmet... | 21:12 |
| daftykins | i thought the 'amazon key' employees would wear balaclavas? | 21:14 |
| daftykins | perhaps with just the 'a' imprinted on one cheek | 21:14 |
| zmoylan-samj32 | and a handy blood group to speed up triage when the hero arrives... | 21:16 |
| diddledan | you assume we have a hero | 21:32 |
| daftykins | it's either Linus or Tux, right? | 21:33 |
| zmoylan-samj32 | don't you read xkcd... stallman!! | 21:36 |
| daftykins | i'm not sure that choice would fly | 21:37 |
| zmoylan-samj32 | he's the hero everyone forgets about https://xkcd.com/225/ | 21:37 |
| zmoylan-samj32 | no one ever said hero has to be nice | 21:37 |
| daftykins | heh | 21:39 |
| diddledan | wait, people are selling things they haven't even bought yet?! https://www.macrumors.com/2017/10/27/iphone-x-scalpers-craigslist-ebay/ | 21:41 |
| zmoylan-samj32 | stock market has sold futures for yonks | 21:42 |
| daftykins | lol | 21:42 |
| zmoylan-samj32 | why shouldn't peasents? | 21:42 |
| zmoylan-samj32 | would seem the low uptake on iphone8 was folk waiting for iphonex | 21:44 |
| diddledan | why do I read that as "Eye Fonnex"? | 21:45 |
| zmoylan-samj32 | because it's marketing doing stupid things with name of device that is really iphone 10 year anniversary model | 21:47 |
| diddledan | so you drop a grand on an ipwn. break it. and pay half the cost of the machine to get it repaired: https://www.macrumors.com/2017/10/27/iphone-x-screen-repair-out-of-warranty-fees/ | 21:48 |
| zmoylan-samj32 | only if you want the crappy 64gb version. that will fill fast. you need the 1200shekel version | 21:49 |
| zmoylan-samj32 | whilest my 120shekel android phablet will take a 128gb card... | 21:51 |
| diddledan | and of course, someone says "give an app permission to photograph you and there's a chance it can photograph you": https://www.macrumors.com/2017/10/26/developer-warns-iphone-camera/ | 21:52 |
| zmoylan-samj32 | duct tape on my phones takes care of that. i keep meaning to price having microphone removed | 21:54 |
| zmoylan-samj32 | in good old days apple put led beside camera so you'd see when it was activated. caught that school spying on kids | 21:56 |
