* penguin42 would love to know who CPC sold most of their christmas stuff to00:20
daftykinsare they out of stock of it already?00:24
penguin42no, it's just they have these catalogues of it and well I'm confused who they sell to00:26
diddledancpc have a weird product mix.. like ebuyer00:28
diddledanlast ebuyer email I remember reading, they were like "look at this awesome graphics card.. and this huge pc monitor.. and this hair curler .. and this massive hard disc"00:29
daftykinswow i haven't even visited ebuyer in forever, i think i went off them because they started stinging us for shipping00:30

daftykinsi'm sure Guernsey has a tonne of such secrets though00:36
diddledanI swear "double irish" just sounds like a very strong coffee00:36
penguin42someone in another window suggested it sounded a lot more erm.....dodgy00:36
diddledanooherr. I wouldn't have ever thought such things myself00:37
diddledanI'm pure and innocent00:37
daftykinsugh DDR4 prices are insane compared to when i did my new build last year, i got 32GB RAM then for £9000:38

daftykinsah har00:43
diddledansounds like an important update coming soon: iOS 11.2 addresses an animation bug in the Calculator app that caused some numbers and symbols to be ignored when entered in rapid succession. The update removes the animations from the calculator app so calculations can be done quickly with no need to pause between entering numbers to obtain the correct result.00:45
daftykinsheh yeah saw that one00:45
daftykinsnot as major as the time Google forgot an entire month in the calendar in Android though00:45
diddledanhah I don't remember that one00:46
daftykinsmight've been 4.0 ICS00:47
diddledan'According to DisplayMate, the iPhone X has the "most innovative and high performance" smartphone display it has ever tested'00:47
diddledanwhich is strange when it's a samsung panel00:47
penguin42I think Sammy displays section are quite happy to sell them whatever they ask for00:48
daftykinsi saw a piece earlier claiming the X is also the most easily damaged ever00:49

* diddledan raids the piggy00:55
daftykinsi did a little low end price-up for fun as if i were to upgrade my server's core 2 duo parts, the RAM price really kills it for me00:55
diddledanoops: "Asking Siri something like "What's the temperature?" or "What's the weather?" or "Is it raining?" causes the Apple Watch to crash."00:57
diddledanI could try to find you an old goat if you don't like the ram?00:58
ali1234i want to do a build around this https://www.scan.co.uk/products/asrock-j3160tm-itx-quad-core-intel-j3160-16ghz-ddr3-ddr3l-intel-hd-graphics-400-sata3-gbe-usb-30-thi00:58
ali1234but i can't find a suitable case00:58
