| daftykins | good morning campers | 10:25 |
|---|---|---|
| daftykins | well, it seems another iMac has surfaced on the local trade sites... no, 2 even | 10:25 |
| zxm-pi | a pair of macs? what's the collective noun? a print shop? :-P | 10:26 |
| daftykins | it's a trap! | 10:32 |
| daftykins | yikes there's one that wants to trade their 3 month old iMac for a similar spec PC, but they got a real bottom of the barrel model | 11:06 |
| zxm-pi | still a 3month old mac | 11:08 |
| daftykins | they claim they spent a grand on it, rubbish low tier i3 | 11:09 |
| daftykins | https://tig.gg/category/home-living/electronics-and-diy/16271/swap-wanted | 11:09 |
| zxm-pi | huh, i thought all new macs came with the m1 thingy with 16gb of ram? | 11:10 |
| daftykins | if you look at their 3rd pic it seems they bought it from some alternative source that was likely hocking the old gen models | 11:19 |
| zxm-pi | so should knock a few shekels off the asking price | 11:23 |
| zxm-pi | most software now for mac will have a hissy fit if you don't have 16gb of ram or very soon will knowing coders :-P | 11:23 |
| daftykins | heh | 11:25 |
| daftykins | think i read of M1s with 8GB, saw a piece on some brave folks in China who desoldered the NAND chip from the package and upgraded it, heh | 11:26 |
| zxm-pi | some of the very first unlocked iphones where ones where phyiscally unlocked by desoldering and replacing a logic chip in vietnam. brain surgery would be easier | 11:28 |
| daftykins | :D | 11:34 |
| daftykins | time to switch gears and prepare an RMA of that pfSense router | 11:34 |
| zxm-pi | and recite the sacred incantation... 'do not bend, fold or stomp on' while packing item for post office :-P | 11:37 |
| daftykins | "oh patron sakn | 11:49 |
| daftykins | oops | 11:50 |
| daftykins | "oh patron saint of wobbly kit, protect this shipment as it returns to whence it came!" | 11:50 |
| daftykins | haha one of these has the same phone # as the guy i just bought the last one from | 12:23 |
| zxm-pi | which reminds me of the old irish word smee :-P https://www.davesjokes.com/?joke=smee-again | 12:25 |
| diddledan | Don't try to stop me, Smee! | 15:05 |
| diddledan | https://youtu.be/lbv1DE0-JBE | 15:05 |
| * zxm-pi takes time to teach diddledan proper hiberno english grammar... smee again, what are you looking for that mac? :-P | 15:07 | |
| diddledan | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOXaD-7FYOg | 15:15 |
| * zxm-pi starts the video knowing it will only make me sad | 15:17 | |
| zxm-pi | just sad to see an iconic brand reduced to lawyer food | 15:52 |
| m0nkey_ | Jim Browning's YouTube channel has been deleted | 19:42 |
| daftykins | who's that? rings a bell but i can't place the name | 19:48 |
| m0nkey_ | scam baiter | 19:51 |
| daftykins | oh did he have a regular thing of watching Indian call centre scammers through their own cameras or something? i may be mixing up with someone else | 19:52 |
| m0nkey_ | yes | 20:09 |
| daftykins | weird, wonder what has gone down | 20:16 |
| zxm-pi | spammers launched an all out take down request bombardment till googlebots autokilled it, wouldn't be first time | 20:51 |
| zxm-pi | guessing | 20:52 |
| diddledan | nothing on their twitter about it, either: https://twitter.com/JimBrowning11 | 20:55 |
| diddledan | although the youtube link on twitter is pointing at a random person | 20:55 |
| daftykins | how strange | 21:02 |
| m0nkey_ | omg, he got phished | 21:09 |
| m0nkey_ | he just tweeted | 21:10 |
| zxm-pi | of course you know what this means, this means war - bugs bunny | 21:13 |
| zxm-pi | when you can con a techie you know the medium is unsafe for regular folk | 21:17 |
| m0nkey_ | https://twitter.com/JimBrowning11/status/1419765976074268682 | 21:25 |
| daftykins | i can only imagine how that was phrased | 21:37 |
| zxm-pi | social engineering, when you attack the human not the machine | 21:39 |
| daftykins | makes you wonder how "delete your channel" was phrased though eh xD | 21:40 |
| daftykins | i suppose it could have been an indirect action | 21:40 |
| zxm-pi | i'm hoping there'll be a long writeup later | 21:44 |
