| zxmpi | <_< ... >_> be care there's a monday out there just waiting to get you | 12:53 |
|---|---|---|
| m0nkey_ | shhhh! it's sight is based on movement. if you stay perfectly still, it won't see you. | 13:30 |
| zxmpi | i hear it can smell fear... | 13:31 |
| daftykins | :D | 16:30 |
| daftykins | i thought i'd seen it all, then i saw my Uncle's church setup... | 16:30 |
| daftykins | imagine if you will, an upstairs room for distracting kids of church-goers - where in a cupboard with no movement of air, 2 ISP supplied routers sit, each on 60 Mb broadband services... then to one side, _4_ powerline adapters plugged into a power strip all in a row, the intent being for them to service 4 other locations point-to-point | 16:31 |
| zxmpi | toasty | 16:33 |
| daftykins | funny you say that, as the one length of network cable i saw tacked into the big cheese's office swung low into her room heater and was melted | 16:35 |
| zxmpi | plasticky whiff like a true network cabinet | 16:35 |
| MattJ | "4 powerline adapters plugged into a power strip all in a row" /o\ | 17:13 |
| zxmpi | i think that makes it a packet strip :-) | 17:20 |
| daftykins | xD | 17:24 |
| zxmpi | bonus points if they later put in a network with poe so the network is for power and the power lines are for data. that'll confuse the pfy some point down the road :-) | 21:02 |
| daftykins | *zap* | 21:04 |
| * zxmpi licks cable... tastes like ipv6 | 21:32 | |
| daftykins | heh i wonder when our main ISP will ever adopt that | 21:48 |
| daftykins | honestly it's just a complication though from my point of view, so no concerns for now | 21:48 |
| zxmpi | i've always thought that phone company if smart could have sold a service to the home of a backup battery that would be trickle charged by phone network and give 2-3 days power for a light, radio and recharge a few phones | 21:49 |
| zxmpi | could be a nice little earner | 21:50 |
| zxmpi | especially for remote rural areas where power cuts can be regular in winter and last days or weeks | 21:50 |
| zxmpi | i see they made a laptop for ocd folk :-P https://boingboing.net/2021/09/10/laptop-with-an-ortholinear-keyboard.html | 21:56 |
| daftykins | crikey | 22:24 |
| zxmpi | might make it theft proof :-) | 22:26 |
| daftykins | a European with an AZERTY was trying to explain their pain of not having + and - keys on the number row, recently | 22:27 |
| zxmpi | but those laptops are usually a few quid cheaper. :-) | 22:27 |
| zxmpi | they're the dogs milk of laptops :-) | 22:28 |
