[10:55] <daftykins> Sunday has landed!
[10:55] <zxm-pi> the long dark teatime of the soul lies ahead!
[11:02] <daftykins> sounds scary
[11:09] <zxm-pi> of course the concept came from the boredom of a sunday afternoon when there was nothing on tv and you'd reached a level of boredom with bugger all to do. pre internet of course.
[11:11] <daftykins> :D
[11:11] <zxm-pi> when now even on my dumb nokia 3310 i have 3 entire tv shows on a 32gb card for emergency boredom situations. :-)
[11:11] <zxm-pi> porridge, blackadder, yes minister
[11:16] <daftykins> excellent, that ought to help
[11:16] <daftykins> i tend to fire up my RSS news feeds when i'm e.g. at a cafe waiting for my order, can't remotely keep on top of those these days... too much work to do to be reading much
[11:16] <zxm-pi> and that's for when the ebooks and audio books and audio comedy run out :-)
[11:17] <zxm-pi> used to love the rss reader built into opera but it got kneecapped after opera was sold
[11:18] <zxm-pi> i do have 1-2 rss readers for mobile but they aren't great on android or java app so don't bother these days unless stuck in hospital
[11:22] <daftykins> mmm even on a Pixel 3a it's hardly ideal, the free 'Feedly' can often only grab the first sentence of an article, so then you have to load the main site and do battle with cookie prompts
[11:22] <daftykins> can't stand the likes of say, gizmodo that wants to autoplay a video part way down... i have a pretty paltry data allowance since i don't want to pay my telco even more than i already do
[11:28] <zxm-pi> do any of the mobile browsers have an option to default not load images/video?
[11:29] <daftykins> must admit i haven't even attempted to look
[11:30] <zxm-pi> first time it occured to me too :-)
[11:31] <zxm-pi> not seeing it in kiwi or chrome on android
[11:35] <daftykins> mmm cursory glance on the latter i found nothing either, i often think if i cared more i'd choose an alternate browser on mobile, but it's not really where i do much
[11:35] <daftykins> Adrian Black vs. another CRT! https://youtu.be/T4BfRLI38S0
[11:35] <zxm-pi> i used to live on mobile browser back in symbian days, doubly so with google reader
[11:37] <zxm-pi> seeing a lot more people rebuilding cannablising one crt monitor to save another.
[11:37] <daftykins> mmm, wonder if it speaks of general availability or just their own access to more
[11:39] <zxm-pi> increasing shortage for those that want them. a few years back an arcade video games repairer was lamenting that the massive rare crts used in 80s video games were no longer available and that the pool of working ones that could be scavenged would eventually drop to zero
[11:39] <daftykins> penguin42: wb \o happy Sunday
[11:42] <penguin42> daftykins: Scan have raised an RMA for both the mb and the CPU!
[11:42] <daftykins> woohoo \o/
[11:43]  * penguin42 wasnt expecting anything to happen before sometime next week
[11:44] <daftykins> will you be able to get them to a post office / aim and throw up to Bolton really carefully? :D
[11:44]  * penguin42 gets out the trebuchet
[11:45] <penguin42> daftykins: They're doing collection
[11:45] <daftykins> oh very cool
[11:46]  * penguin42 has to do an extraction and find something to package the larger mb in, not sure I still have the box
[11:48] <penguin42> I'll have to push out the collection to Thursdayish on the basis I'm getting 2nd jabbed on Tuesday and  and maybe shit on Wednesday
[11:49] <daftykins> doh, yeah that'd be no fun - i'm going to be quite hesitant when my 2nd is done a month from now
[11:50] <penguin42> it's moderna as well, I'm told that's really really fun for the 2nd one
[11:50] <daftykins> D:
[11:51] <penguin42> however, at least I managed to move it forward ~1 week; otherwise it would have been just before my birthday
[11:53] <daftykins> fingers crossed for new parts to be shipped and arrive by then for birthday ssembly fun :)
[11:55] <penguin42> quite risky!
[11:55] <daftykins> oops +a
[11:58] <daftykins> i can think of little better than PC assembly fun on a birthday!
[12:01]  * zxm-pi slides sledgehammer and wounded printer out of sight :-P
[12:02] <daftykins> heh
[12:22] <penguin42> zxm-pi: Impact printers are the best

[22:22] <daftykins> Billy has spoken
[22:28] <zxm-pi> at least it was day light and not 3am outside bedroom window like usual :-)
[22:29] <daftykins> :D
[22:42] <daftykins> ok time to commit to the week ahead, g'night!
[22:44] <zxm-pi> o/
