| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 08:42 |
|---|---|---|
| foobarry | anyone else getting hassled to replace their meter with a smart one? | 09:58 |
| fjaiohgae | Morning, just upgraded to 17.10, and I found a bug, but not sure what component to report it to, it's about the icons indicating unread messages from chat apps, like slack and etc , they do not refresh only just when I mouse over it | 10:07 |
| SuperMatt | That'd be the ubuntu dock | 10:19 |

| diplo | Morning all | 10:25 |
| diplo | foobarry: Yup... can't be bothered though.. | 10:25 |
| diplo | Any of you guys using Draytek routers in your work place ? | 10:25 |
| fjaiohgae | SuperMatt: Thx | 10:28 |
| m0nkey_ | Draytek? Wow, not used one of them for at least 10 years. Hard to find over here in Canada. :) | 12:12 |
| diplo | All ours customers have them, so about 100+ of them in the network as such | 12:36 |
| diplo | Looking at monitoring/updating/configuring via there software, having some issues with it though. | 12:37 |
| TwistedLucidity | foobarry: I get the off missive about that, have simply ignored it for now. I don't see any advantage to them and they become dumb meters agains when one switches supplier. Also, how can I trust the readings? | 12:37 |
| diplo | That was my question to the guy who came around TwistedLucidity | 12:38 |
| TwistedLucidity | Also, security. | 12:39 |
| TwistedLucidity | Imagine they'd been affected by Krack, Heatbleed, A.N.Other - how long (to the nearest year) would it take for updates to be rolled out? | 12:40 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | as soon as you buy the new kit :-) | 12:42 |
| foobarry | i've been called 3 times by british gas about it | 15:05 |
| foobarry | inthe last 2 days | 15:05 |
| m0nkey_ | foobarry: Got a smart meter here a couple years back. Electricity bill went down after it's install. | 15:31 |
| diddledan | everyone must get one within two years iirc | 15:34 |
| diddledan | the government is mandating it I think I read | 15:35 |
| diddledan | oh I'm wrong. gov.uk says there's no mandate | 15:36 |
| diddledan | "Smart meters will be rolled out as standard across the country by the end of 2020. But there is no legal obligation on individuals to have one." | 15:36 |
| diddledan | that's from gov.uk | 15:36 |
| SuperMatt | I suppose I could do with one for the electricity | 15:38 |
| SuperMatt | I already have a smart meter for the shared heating system (no gas) | 15:38 |
| foobarry | didn't they already have to change the first batch? | 15:43 |
| foobarry | and why would bills go down? | 15:43 |
| SuperMatt | More awareness | 15:44 |
| diplo | I expect the reason it would go down is the readins are accurate | 15:44 |
| SuperMatt | That too, no guessing | 15:44 |
| diplo | My gas/electric people can't get in to read mine without me there | 15:44 |
| diplo | And I never remember to update :) | 15:44 |
| SuperMatt | I worry if I update, I'll be stung for a huge amount of unpaid bills | 15:45 |
| diplo | hahah me too | 15:45 |
| diplo | Also, they can remotely cut you off I believe, but as said earlier, it's not if, just when... suppose I'll do it at some point | 15:45 |
| diplo | Wish I could poll the data though | 15:45 |
| ali1234 | when i try to call people using skype for linux beta, it crashes *their* skype client. lol | 17:03 |
| diddledan | omg. grand negas Zek is on last week's Mr Robot | 17:29 |

| daftykins | that's the lovely new 55" LG OLED B7 for London, gave it a quick test out - the kittens however had other ideas | 23:36 |
| diddledan | if you have netflix and a few hours free, watch the webseries "Dramaworld" it's fun | 23:38 |
| diddledan | each episode is around 15-20 minutes | 23:38 |
| daftykins | i can't even get myself to stop putting twitch streams on in the background and watch Stranger Things s2 | 23:39 |
| diddledan | I haven't started watching that one yet | 23:39 |
