| daftykins | happy Saturday all \o | 11:38 |
| penguin42 | hey daftykins | 11:39 |
| daftykins | https://www.bisi.gg/listing/66647/labists-raspberry | 12:34 |
| daftykins | if i'm understanding that correctly, it's a full kit including a Pi 4 for £20 :o | 12:34 |
| penguin42 | nice | 12:38 |
| daftykins | no doubt a lower RAM edition but it still seems a good deal | 12:38 |
| zxm-pi | suspect a few people bought 1gb versions when they meant to order 4-8gb versions | 12:50 |
| daftykins | possible! i dropped 'em a text so we'll see if i get a response confirming the model | 12:51 |
| daftykins | i've also spotted a flippable 2015 iMac, currently trying to lower their price xD | 12:51 |
| zxm-pi | and for the first year or two after pi came out loads of people bought them and then had them sitting on a shelf doing nothing. loads been passed on via irc back then | 12:52 |
| daftykins | rather masochistic of me to want to do another tin-opener job | 12:52 |
| zxm-pi | you saw the 35million big macs sign in mcdonalds and have taken it as a personal challenge :-P | 12:52 |
| daftykins | xD | 12:53 |
| daftykins | the couple i worked at yesterday quite like their iMacs but run Windows - much to the chagrin of their daughter in England | 12:53 |
| daftykins | thing is forcing them to learn another OS in their 80s is a bit harsh | 12:54 |
| zxm-pi | cpm all the way :-) | 12:54 |
| zxm-pi | just have to get the z80 up to 1ghz to browse the web :-P | 12:55 |
| daftykins | woohoo i bid them down to £450 for a 21.5" 2015 iMac from their initial asking of £600 | 13:06 |
| zxm-pi | what's wrong with it? | 13:08 |
| zxm-pi | ...apart from it being the apple attempt at luggable computing :-P | 13:09 |
| daftykins | well it's an HDD model so it'll need cracking open and upgrading | 13:19 |
| zxm-pi | you'd think with the size of a 21 incher there'd be enough space to put in a massive drive bay you can get both hands into | 13:20 |
| daftykins | well they did make them extremely shallow since around the 2011 models, since the edges are now capable of slicing cheese | 13:24 |
| daftykins | person replied, the Pi had already sold! | 13:24 |
| zxm-pi | plenty more pi in the sky | 13:25 |
| daftykins | wow, check out comment #2 on this Techmoan vid about Sony's Video 8 format - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdObeF9VHiA | 13:28 |
| zxm-pi | nice. but reading comments on youtube?! you like to live dangerously :-P | 13:31 |
| daftykins | :D | 13:32 |
| daftykins | usually the top few are ok now | 13:32 |
| daftykins | at least on the wholesome content i tend to enjoy! | 13:32 |
| zxm-pi | i still think the discman could be a useful superfloppy if marketed right | 13:32 |
| zxm-pi | sony makes the most beautiful hardware and then ruins them with software | 13:33 |
| daftykins | and proprietary interfaces! | 13:35 |
| zxm-pi | and memory standars | 14:01 |
| daftykins | have you heard about Ken Williams return to game dev? | 14:02 |
| zxm-pi | interesting. will be interesting to see how his style translates into a modern game | 14:14 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Ooh matron? | 14:21 |
| daftykins | hehe, nah i think he long since passed away - this Ken and his wife were behind Sierra online | 14:22 |
| === m0nkey__ is now known as m0nkey_ | ||
| m0nkey_ | Say hello to Microsoft Linux .. https://github.com/microsoft/CBL-Mariner | 15:48 |
| daftykins | heh, not the first i imagine | 15:57 |
| diddledan | MS use CBL-* as a prefix for several Linux distributions for specific purposes | 16:28 |
| daftykins | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YbBpAfFRks - livestream from Dr. Ian Cutress of Anandtech | 16:36 |
| daftykins | ooooh there's a lovely cool breeze coming through my place right now, feels good :D | 16:48 |
| diddledan | I'm not jelly | 16:52 |
| m0nkey_ | A/C baby yeah | 16:54 |
| daftykins | glad to not need it | 17:27 |
| zxm-pi | northern ireland recorded it's hottest ever temp. 31c | 18:03 |
| daftykins | o0 | 18:04 |
| zxm-pi | it's a rock sitting in north atlantic. takes a lot to heat it up :-) | 18:04 |
| m0nkey_ | you need A/C here.. during the summer easily 30C+ and winter will drop down to below -30C | 18:18 |
| daftykins | oh i'm sure, so glad for the island's tame climate | 18:33 |
| daftykins | although 90% humidity accompanies 20-25 deg C | 18:33 |
| daftykins | the cat has been given fish in jelly, that'll keep her busy for ~5 minutes ;) | 18:34 |
| zxm-pi | get her a rubiks cube, will keep her out of your hair for days :-P | 18:34 |
| daftykins | :) | 18:38 |
