[12:30] <zxmpi_> ...and not the email a smart fridge sent to it's owner that they're opening the door too often? :-P https://twitter.com/hondanhon/status/1436027395115393024
[12:30] <diddledani> "stop eating!"
[12:47] <zxmpi_> if my fridge sent me that email i'd spend a few hours reprogramming it's cpu with a lump hammer :-P
[13:15] <daftykins> i'd like to think you wouldn't have bought the gimmicky model to begin with!
[13:17] <zxmpi_> smart added to any product would make me look elsewhere
[13:17] <diddledani> it's getting more difficult to find a not-IoT device these days tho
[13:17] <diddledani> subscriptions, amirite?

[13:23] <daftykins> i like the one from the fridge guy about his smart scales congratulting his wife on weight loss after giving birth
[13:27] <zxmpi_> there was the guy who got discounts coupons when ?amazon worked out his wife was pregnant before she did
[13:29] <diddledani> *clippy*: "it looks like you're having a baby. would you like some help with that?"
[13:29] <diddledani> "I'm what?"
[13:41] <daftykins> * clippy smiles politely
[17:11] <m0nkey_> I resisted for over a year, but today it happened.  I joined the company slack. Goodbye RAM, nice knowing you.
[17:14] <zxmpi_> not just ram, cpu has taken a knee capping too as i think is required
[17:31] <m0nkey_> Good job I'll be keeping it check in a VM.
[17:32] <m0nkey_> Between Slack and Teams, I'm not going to have the RAM to open a terminal shell
[17:36] <zxmpi_> that runs in termux on your android phone
[17:37] <zxmpi_> and that's why you got the company to pay for the phone with 8gb of ram and fastest cpu :-D
[17:38] <zxmpi_> look at that text scroll
[17:52] <m0nkey_> lol
[17:52] <m0nkey_> They're preparing a new laptop for me, I should receive it soon. 
[17:53] <m0nkey_> It has 32GB just for slack lol
[17:53] <zxmpi_>  hopefully a framework laptop :-)
[17:54] <m0nkey_> Nah, I think it's a Thinkpad
[17:54] <zxmpi_> nearly as good :-)
[17:54] <m0nkey_> T14s
[17:54] <m0nkey_> Well, that's what they told me many many months ago
[17:55] <zxmpi_> here's your dell, be grateful :-P
[17:55] <m0nkey_> Last company gave me an HP EliteBook
[17:55] <m0nkey_> And I had to beg to get 16GB RAM
