[19:45] <davef> Huh, so Nvidia and Samsung git breached recently. Fun times.
[19:46] <zxmpi> and they're just the companies that have admitted to being breached.
[19:55] <davef> i'm sure there's more to come
[19:56] <zxmpi> almost like and bear with me here you shouldn't put stuff you want to keep secret on public network :-P
[19:58] <daftykins> hehe
[19:59] <daftykins> i've got to have a meeting tomorrow with my pal and these guys that are pushing hard for using AWS for this thing, but they sent us a proposal document and i've genuinely never seen a worse piece of work that is allegedly made by adults in my life
[20:00] <zxmpi> everyone else is doing it! it must be safe!
[20:01] <daftykins> they drew a diagram of how they imagined it working - and threw on a bunch of federated login stuff that doesn't even apply to our setup
[20:01] <daftykins> to me it reads like someone trying to wow you with terms and hoping you won't attempt to look them up yourself
[20:03] <zxmpi> take out your buzzword bingo card and cross off the jargon used at the meeting :-P
[20:05] <daftykins> \o/
[20:05] <daftykins> i've managed to get them to shunt it back a bit so i can chat to my pal and explain just how terrible it is before we speak to them
[20:06] <zxmpi> ...and if any of them say blockchain so help you you won't be rsponsible for your actions :-P
[20:10] <daftykins> it'll be good there's the English Channel between!
[20:23] <zxmpi> wow, what market share does firefox have again? https://www.howtogeek.com/790234/firefox-97-is-under-attack-update-now-to-protect-yourself/
[20:24] <davef> I use FF
[20:24] <zxmpi> same but it's a pretty niche brower at this point
[20:25] <davef> and that makes me sad
[20:26] <daftykins> me too - and i'm sad about it too
[20:32] <zxmpi> mozilla seems intent on driving away their userbase with every change and not seeing any new users for their troubles
[20:36] <davef> tbh, I've been giving MS Edge a good poke and it's doing a darn good job. I just saw today it now support picture-in-picture for video, something I used often in FF.
[20:37] <zxmpi> i usually have 3-4 browsers on the go at any time and switch between them for certain sites/addons/features. currently firefox, chromium, vivaldi, midori
[20:39] <davef> I've been using Edge as my primary browser for work, I've quite enjoyed using it.
[20:43] <daftykins> zxmpi: you get his legs
[20:51] <zxmpi> i'll get my hacksaw... :-P
[20:52] <daftykins> hmm, takes a while to get through ankles though
[20:58] <zxmpi> it's all about the speed. fastest amputation had a 300% casulty rate. done in 12? seconds. patient died, man holding him down( no anaesthetic) died from infection when doctor cut off a few of his fingers and an onlooker died from heart attack.
[20:59] <zxmpi> something i always remember when people talk about the good old days
[21:00] <daftykins> <man without fingers> i have 3 bones to pick with you, Doctor!
[21:02] <zxmpi>  //looks at inflamation around wound// i'll meet you next week
[21:25] <davef> MS Edge works great on Ubuntu :-X
[21:59] <zxmpi> i have heard that. i'll never know :-P
[22:02] <daftykins> but you'll be left wondering 'what if', forever on the edge of your seat...
[22:24] <zxmpi> after using ms software from late 80s to early 00s i'm confident in my decision :-)
