brobostigonmorning boys and girls.08:42
foobarryanyone else getting hassled to replace their meter with a smart one?09:58
fjaiohgaeMorning, 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 it10:07
SuperMattThat'd be the ubuntu dock10:19

diploMorning all10:25
diplofoobarry: Yup... can't be bothered though..10:25
diploAny of you guys using Draytek routers in your work place ?10:25
fjaiohgaeSuperMatt: Thx10:28
m0nkey_Draytek? Wow, not used one of them for at least 10 years. Hard to find over here in Canada. :)12:12
diploAll ours customers have them, so about 100+ of them in the network as such12:36
diploLooking at monitoring/updating/configuring via there software, having some issues with it though.12:37
TwistedLucidityfoobarry: 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
diploThat was my question to the guy who came around TwistedLucidity12:38
TwistedLucidityAlso, security.12:39
TwistedLucidityImagine 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-samj3as soon as you buy the new kit :-)12:42
foobarryi've been called 3 times by british gas about it15:05
foobarryinthe last 2 days15:05
m0nkey_foobarry: Got a smart meter here a couple years back. Electricity bill went down after it's install.15:31
diddledaneveryone must get one within two years iirc15:34
diddledanthe government is mandating it I think I read15:35
diddledanoh I'm wrong. gov.uk says there's no mandate15:36
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
diddledanthat's from gov.uk15:36
SuperMattI suppose I could do with one for the electricity15:38
SuperMattI already have a smart meter for the shared heating system (no gas)15:38
foobarrydidn't they already have to change the first batch?15:43
foobarryand why would bills go down?15:43
SuperMattMore awareness15:44
diploI expect the reason it would go down is the readins are accurate15:44
SuperMattThat too, no guessing15:44
diploMy gas/electric people can't get in to read mine without me there15:44
diploAnd I never remember to update :)15:44
SuperMattI worry if I update, I'll be stung for a huge amount of unpaid bills15:45
diplohahah me too15:45
diploAlso, 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 point15:45
diploWish I could poll the data though15:45
ali1234when i try to call people using skype for linux beta, it crashes *their* skype client. lol17:03
