| sebsebsebb | popey: doing another event, was wondering if could maybe get some ubuntu stuff again ? | 12:44 |
| === sebsebsebb is now known as sebsebseb | ||
| sebsebseb | popey: not sure I can fill in the form etc, plus its less than fofur weeks now | 12:48 |
| popey | What's up with filling the form in? | 12:48 |
| sebsebseb | popey: looks like there's a part which loco are you, that is required to fill in | 12:49 |
| popey | so put uk :) | 12:49 |
| sebsebseb | popey: also itless less than four weeks, but hopefully :) | 12:50 |
| popey | we review them every wednesday | 12:50 |
| sebsebseb | popey: right good so should be seen tommorwo then ? | 12:53 |
| popey | yeah, we review them in the afternoon. | 12:54 |
| sebsebseb | popey: yeah 9th june is coming up ! | 12:54 |
| popey | :) | 12:54 |
| sebsebseb | popey: you any good at down graidng or updating UEFI hp bioses ? seems that's the only way I will get Linux back on this lap top properly | 12:55 |
| popey | Oh dear. No. Not really. I avoid anything UEFI really. | 12:55 |
| sebsebseb | same here | 12:55 |
| sebsebseb | but | 12:55 |
| popey | I think daftykins is a bit of an expert there... | 12:55 |
| sebsebseb | after a new otherobard put in from their partner company | 12:55 |
| sebsebseb | I haevn't been able to put Linux back on | 12:55 |
| sebsebseb | Grub can comoe up on a USB stick or memtest but then black screen on a kernel | 12:56 |
| sebsebseb | live session boot, black screen. seems someone else had a similar issue going by a google and down graded the bios | 12:56 |
| * sebsebseb but hey at least quassel for windows is working hmm | 12:56 | |
| sebsebseb | popey: also usb's for ubuntu been totally dropped it seems? yet the form does mention having 12 usb's s sent in one of the options still | 12:59 |
| popey | I think we still have some | 13:00 |
| sebsebseb | popey: yes I would like usb's sent, we got 50 some how that other time, even if they are just standard usb's for some | 13:00 |
| sebsebseb | the two options are a bit eh, and I don't see a bit to put proepr comments in even uh | 13:01 |
| sebsebseb | popey: we want to give out some ubuntu 18.04 usb's. might get more people this time, since well partly, since such a nice mention in linux format :) | 13:02 |
| popey | i dont think we have any 18.04 usb's | 13:03 |
| popey | always nice to get mentions in magazines :) | 13:03 |
| sebsebseb | popey: well we can burn our selves | 13:05 |
| popey | ok | 13:05 |
| sebsebseb | but yes having usb's sent would be great | 13:05 |
| sebsebseb | we don't have usbs | 13:06 |
| sebsebseb | he h I remember that 50 from before being blank, and had to burn our selve | 13:06 |

| daftykins | haha Talk Talk face yet more drama, wow you'd have to have nerves of steel to be with those folks | 22:40 |
| penguin42 | what have they done now? | 22:42 |
| penguin42 | oh wps screwup | 22:43 |
| daftykins | yeah, slightly less relevant i suppose since ISP-own routers are always going to be iffy | 22:44 |
| penguin42 | wow, notified of it 4 years ago and done sod all | 22:45 |
| daftykins | :D | 22:46 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: It kind of amazes me why; I mean having thousands of the same model, often just a rebrand from another large company, should make it really easy to roll out updates | 22:47 |
| diddledan | 4 years ago?! | 22:47 |
| diddledan | wow | 22:47 |
| daftykins | penguin42: i can only imagine there's some massive optional firmware updates price attached, as i've asked my ISP down here whether there are any updates to the Technicolor branded routers they tend to put out - only to be told nope - but then ISPs in England with the same models have newer versions at times | 22:49 |
| zmoylan-pi | not as bad as the jimi hendrix eircom flamingo up... https://seeit.org/eircom/ | 22:50 |
| zmoylan-pi | free internet \o/ | 22:51 |
| diddledan | "some clueless muppet" | 22:51 |
| penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: You have to admit that's a pretty random set of lyrics | 22:52 |
| daftykins | ah that was very common over here too with some earlier models | 22:52 |
| daftykins | oh ok not quite the lyric bit, but just the ability to deduce the key from the SSID :> | 22:53 |
| penguin42 | https://hackaday.com/2015/12/29/32c3-beyond-your-cable-modem/ was a thing on German cable modems | 22:54 |
| daftykins | :D | 22:55 |
| diddledan | does anyone actually still remember what "CAPTCHA" was supposed to be an acronym of? | 23:01 |
| daftykins | of course! | 23:04 |
| daftykins | Completely Automated Public Test to tell Computers and Humans Apart | 23:04 |
| diddledan | you googled it! | 23:04 |
| * penguin42 didn't think he ever knew that | 23:05 | |
| daftykins | nope just came back with a snack :) | 23:05 |
| daftykins | these microwaveable little oat bars that look a bit like flapjack are ace | 23:08 |
| daftykins | they come in packs of 2 for about £1.60 - Quaker Oats product | 23:14 |
| penguin42 | hot oat bars? | 23:16 |
| daftykins | well it was once i heated it :> | 23:17 |
| penguin42 | are they intended to be microwavable? | 23:17 |
| daftykins | yeah instructions on the pack and all, though the 10 seconds suggested is useless in my 800W | 23:17 |
| zmoylan-pi | everything is microwaveable... if it's someone elses microwave... :-) | 23:18 |
| penguin42 | hmm, is this the 'porridge to go' ? | 23:18 |
| daftykins | yeah sounds like the one | 23:19 |
| daftykins | Louis hides on twitch for his livestreams these days and then edits them down for youtube later :D www.twitch.tv/rossmanngroup | 23:21 |
| * penguin42 hasn't quite figured out what 'stand time' is for in microwaved foods, other than when they might explode | 23:23 | |
| daftykins | heh yeah, i never do that but do open the door and let it vent out for a few moments before retrieving | 23:23 |
| penguin42 | it's wise to do it for gloopy stuff | 23:35 |
| penguin42 | just enough for anything to vent rather than explode when touched | 23:35 |
| daftykins | mmm | 23:44 |
| daftykins | weirdly that packet says not to heat longer than the 10s - what could oats do? | 23:44 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: you know nuclear fusion.... | 23:46 |
| daftykins | o0 | 23:46 |
