[08:48] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[11:41] <SuperMatt> diplo: got my new gpu. Turned everything up to max on Quake Champions, and never dip below 60fps
[11:43] <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.
[12:52] <diddledan> gdpr gonna kill whois: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/10/26/whois_gdpr_europe/
[12:56] <ali1234> good
[12:57] <ali1234> whois rules for co.uk are completely retarded
[13:03] <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
[18:20] <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/
[18:50] <diddledan> zmoylan-samj3: what's your pixi?
[18:51] <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
[18:52] <zmoylan-samj3> i had 7" and 8" tablets but never got much use of them. the 6" is comfy size
[18:53]  * 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
[18:54] <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'
[18:55] <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
[18:56] <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
[18:57] <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
[18:58] <diddledan> the rumours are claiming apple are doing foldable next year
[18:58] <zmoylan-samj3> apple... rumours...
[18:59] <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
[19:01] <diddledan> would be a good candidate to redo, IMO
[19:02] <zmoylan-samj3> hollywood has rebooted evrrything else...
[19:10] <zmoylan-samj3> i would like a new flash gordon as well mind
[19:12] <zmoylan-samj3> i worry about all those unemployed lizard rubber frill gluers
[19:13] <daftykins> ok but Brian Blessed is mandatory
[19:14] <zmoylan-samj3> of coursr. we can cgi him and dub in the voice.  we need him in recording booth recording phonetic alphabet
[19:15] <daftykins> ...isn't he alive?
[19:16] <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
[19:18] <daftykins> D:
[19:18] <zmoylan-samj3> last pics i saw of him did not look hgood
[19:18] <daftykins> :( that's a shame
[19:25] <diddledan> the origins of IDSPISPOPD explained: https://youtu.be/3vHV5B77RM8
[20:01] <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?!
[20:02] <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

[21:12] <zmoylan-samj32> i'm waiting for bezos to announce amazon uniform of black outfit with face concealing helmet...
[21:14] <daftykins> i thought the 'amazon key' employees would wear balaclavas?
[21:14] <daftykins> perhaps with just the 'a' imprinted on one cheek
[21:16] <zmoylan-samj32> and a handy blood group to speed up triage when the hero arrives...
[21:32] <diddledan> you assume we have a hero
[21:33] <daftykins> it's either Linus or Tux, right?
[21:36] <zmoylan-samj32> don't you read xkcd... stallman!!
[21:37] <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
[21:39] <daftykins> heh
[21:41] <diddledan> wait, people are selling things they haven't even bought yet?! https://www.macrumors.com/2017/10/27/iphone-x-scalpers-craigslist-ebay/
[21:42] <zmoylan-samj32> stock market has sold futures for yonks
[21:42] <daftykins> lol
[21:42] <zmoylan-samj32> why shouldn't peasents?
[21:44] <zmoylan-samj32> would seem the low uptake on iphone8 was folk waiting for iphonex
[21:45] <diddledan> why do I read that as "Eye Fonnex"?
[21:47] <zmoylan-samj32> because it's marketing doing stupid things with name of device that is really iphone 10 year anniversary model
[21:48] <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/
[21:49] <zmoylan-samj32> only if you want the crappy 64gb version. that will fill fast. you need the 1200shekel version
[21:51] <zmoylan-samj32> whilest my 120shekel android phablet will take a 128gb card...
[21:52] <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/
[21:54] <zmoylan-samj32> duct tape on my phones takes care of that. i keep meaning to price having microphone removed
[21:56] <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
