[09:22] <daftykins> phew, back from a meeting with the satellite and aerials guy up at one o' the big homes
[09:22] <daftykins> he concurred with my view of the existing that it's rubbish
[10:46] <daftykins> hrmm pfSense router is even worse with the new SSD in, which just arrived this morning - time to get linitx.com's opinion 
[14:04] <diddledan> whatcha tosh, got a toshiba?
[14:15] <zxm-pi> there is a name i haven't heard in a long time
[14:17] <diddledan> tosh, or toshiba?
[14:18] <diddledan> they're in trouble, but still around: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toshiba
[14:39] <daftykins> well whoever took over calls their SSDs Kioxia now iirc
[14:40] <diddledan> that's just the ssd devision spun out to a new company
[14:40] <diddledan> no longer owned by toshiba or a toshiba influenced company
[14:40] <daftykins> yeah
[14:40] <zxm-pi> used to be one of the high end laptops, last one i saw about 10+ years ago the base had so much ventilation holes i could see the motherboard and read writing on it
[14:41] <daftykins> think it all precipitated from power company issues in Japan
[14:41] <diddledan> I've got several kioxia drives
[14:41] <daftykins> oops it seems removing the latest iMac's left speaker, i have torn off the power switch wire
[14:41] <diddledan> ouch
[14:41] <daftykins> i see soldering in my future
[14:41] <diddledan> at least it's resolderable!
[14:42] <zxm-pi> or giving the new owner a paper clip and telling them to wave it around this hole till mac goes *BONG*
[14:42] <diddledan> I enjoy that boot chime
[14:42] <zxm-pi> remember, *BONG* good *KABOOM* bad
[14:42] <diddledan> still, I really want David Levinson's boot greeting!
[14:44] <diddledan> https://youtu.be/ump4HEWnrEk
[14:48] <daftykins> well i don't know yet xD
[14:56] <daftykins> looks pretty easy, have to heat up the shell and remove the current power switch to get to where the wires are soldered on
[15:34] <daftykins> wow i think the warm weather helped, just a small pick helped me pull it out of the casing
[15:35] <zxm-pi> apple will learn from this and start using vinyl like the car seats we used to stick to in the heat waves of the 1970s :-P
[15:39] <daftykins> these wires + solder pads are sooooo tiny
[15:45] <daftykins> https://i.imgur.com/4yG0EEP.jpg
[15:56] <zxm-pi> pretty tiny
[15:56] <daftykins> ooh i lifted the PCB and copper contact piece off the plastic with a very thin slot head scredriver bit \o/
[15:57] <zxm-pi> i can just see next summers action movie as the bomb needs to be defused in less than a minute. 'stand back, i do apple repairs!' :-P
[15:58] <zxm-pi> 1: we're saved! 2: here's my bill 1: we're doomed!
[16:08] <daftykins> xD
[16:10] <daftykins> time for an emergency 'Fab'
[16:10] <zxm-pi> go go pi force!
[16:11] <daftykins> oh, one more pic for you
[16:11] <daftykins> here's where i found the cat when i woke up - https://i.imgur.com/1zPNK3Z.jpg
[16:12] <zxm-pi> adding hairs to the clean laundry, cat doing what a cats gotta do
[16:20] <daftykins> thankfully not clean :D
