[14:31] <davef> JWST sunshield deployment, stream should start in a few mins.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBPNi7uGgWM
[14:33] <penguin42> oh right, they had delayed it a bit but not said why or when
[14:57] <diddledani> https://www.amd.com/en/events/ces
[14:59] <penguin42> davef: I find them a bit depressing talking heads and too little of 'we just did ...'
[15:03] <davef> Typical NASA broadcast
[15:05] <penguin42> get out of the way and show me telemtary....
[15:07] <zxmpi> realign your garden radio telescope and listen to the *beep* *beeps*
[15:55] <davef> diddledani: did they talk about new GPUs?
[15:56] <diddledani> they're doing rdna2 mobile gpus from february IIRC, and a new 5500 low-end for $199 later this spring
[16:06] <davef> pffft.. mobile
[16:07] <davef> omg, I got worried for a minute there.. Tim Curry trending on Twitter.. he's okay...\
[16:18] <diddledani> https://www.macrumors.com/2022/01/04/classic-blackberry-smartphones-dead/
[16:22] <zxmpi> now people have completely new devices to distract them as they step into traffic

[16:38] <davef> nice, AMD are going from PGA to LGA sockets. 
[16:39] <davef> AMD has been using PGA since the early 90s (and probably before)
[16:43] <diddledani> it is somewhat amazing they've managed to eek out the PGA style socket for so long
[16:44] <diddledani> IIRC threadrippers and Epyc moved a couple years ago to LGA
[16:45] <davef> they managed to cram 1509 pins on AM4
[16:45] <diddledani> wowser
[16:46] <davef> well, thats by my estimate.. 
[16:46] <davef> probably more like 1300
[16:46] <diddledani> not far off - according to wiki and quietpc it's 1331 
[16:47] <davef> I did 39x39-12(corners) but failed to account for the middle
[16:47] <diddledani> aah
[16:48] <davef> If you're interested in the pin-out.. I just found this.. https://www.docdroid.net/6cDW11N/am4-pinout-diagram-pdf
[16:49] <diddledani> eww, that's a horrid site - click zoom and it gives you a popup window/tab
[16:49] <diddledani> adverts be damned
[16:49] <davef> ublock origin
[16:49] <davef> and NextDNS for dns filtering
[16:49] <diddledani> in fact, click ANYWHERE
[16:49] <davef> I see no adverts
[17:52] <davef> My Pi 4 just arrived
[17:55]  * diddledani Intel next https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/news/2022-ces-news-event-livestream-replay.html
[17:58] <davef> I can now start my home automation project
[18:13] <diddledani> how many professional animators and game devs actually use a laptop tho?
[18:45] <penguin42> diddledani: I think you get some who like to work flexibly like others - coffee shops, whereever they're comfy;  but also you do get special cases of them working on sites
[18:46] <penguin42> diddledani: I remember seeing the Timeteam stuff where they had animators set up in the back
[23:17] <ball> Well, so much for Ubuntu on the Raspberry Pi
[23:19] <daftykins> i never got the impression that would be stable to run
[23:19] <ball> My son's in tears.  I'll have to reimage the microSDHC card.
[23:20] <daftykins> the old classic, card corruption?
[23:21] <ball> No, it just locked up hard.  Had to pull the power cable.
[23:21] <daftykins> could be due to the same, should be able to fsck and bring it back to life though
[23:22] <daftykins> wiping in the face of surprises is what i did to Windows 9x in my youth ;)
[23:32] <ball> It's not my usual approach but it ran so well on Raspberry Pi OS that I'll put it back
