[00:20] <daftykins> g'night all \o
[11:38] <daftykins> happy Saturday all \o
[11:39] <penguin42> hey daftykins
[12:34] <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
[12:38] <penguin42> nice
[12:38] <daftykins> no doubt a lower RAM edition but it still seems a good deal
[12:50] <zxm-pi> suspect a few people bought 1gb versions when they meant to order 4-8gb versions
[12:51] <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
[12:52] <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
[12:53] <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
[12:54] <daftykins> thing is forcing them to learn another OS in their 80s is a bit harsh
[12:54] <zxm-pi> cpm all the way :-)
[12:55] <zxm-pi> just have to get the z80 up to 1ghz to browse the web :-P
[13:06] <daftykins> woohoo i bid them down to £450 for a 21.5" 2015 iMac from their initial asking of £600
[13:08] <zxm-pi> what's wrong with it?
[13:09] <zxm-pi> ...apart from it being the apple attempt at luggable computing :-P
[13:19] <daftykins> well it's an HDD model so it'll need cracking open and upgrading
[13:20] <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
[13:24] <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!
[13:25] <zxm-pi> plenty more pi in the sky
[13:28] <daftykins> wow, check out comment #2 on this Techmoan vid about Sony's Video 8 format - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdObeF9VHiA
[13:31] <zxm-pi> nice. but reading comments on youtube?! you like to live dangerously :-P
[13:32] <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
[13:33] <zxm-pi> sony makes the most beautiful hardware and then ruins them with software
[13:35] <daftykins> and proprietary interfaces! 
[14:01] <zxm-pi> and memory standars
[14:02] <daftykins> have you heard about Ken Williams return to game dev?
[14:14] <zxm-pi> interesting. will be interesting to see how his style translates into a modern game
[14:21] <penguin42> daftykins: Ooh matron?
[14:22] <daftykins> hehe, nah i think he long since passed away - this Ken and his wife were behind Sierra online
[15:48] <m0nkey_> Say hello to Microsoft Linux .. https://github.com/microsoft/CBL-Mariner
[15:57] <daftykins> heh, not the first i imagine
[16:28] <diddledan> MS use CBL-* as a prefix for several Linux distributions for specific purposes
[16:36] <daftykins> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YbBpAfFRks - livestream from Dr. Ian Cutress of Anandtech
[16:48] <daftykins> ooooh there's a lovely cool breeze coming through my place right now, feels good :D
[16:52] <diddledan> I'm not jelly
[16:54] <m0nkey_> A/C baby yeah
[17:27] <daftykins> glad to not need it
[18:03] <zxm-pi> northern ireland recorded it's hottest ever temp. 31c
[18:04] <daftykins> o0
[18:04] <zxm-pi> it's a rock sitting in north atlantic. takes a lot to heat it up :-)
[18:18] <m0nkey_> you need A/C here.. during the summer easily 30C+ and winter will drop down to below -30C 
[18:33] <daftykins> oh i'm sure, so glad for the island's tame climate
[18:33] <daftykins> although 90% humidity accompanies 20-25 deg C
[18:34] <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
[18:38] <daftykins> :)
