| daftykins | Friday has landed! | 12:26 |
|---|---|---|
| penguin42 | >splat < | 12:28 |
| daftykins | hehe with all the grace of an overfed flightless bird | 12:29 |
| penguin42 | nod | 12:29 |
| daftykins | what's new at penguin HQ? | 12:29 |
| penguin42 | meh, not much | 12:38 |
| daftykins | ah har | 12:39 |
| daftykins | i'm continuing to gear up for this dentists job, making lots of purchases | 12:40 |
| daftykins | just got an email about a pen test a pal's business is seeking for some NHS compliance, the company is asking us what we want tested, lol | 12:41 |
| daftykins | i always find this so strange | 12:41 |
| diddledani | "we're the experts in *thing*. Tell us what to do for *thing*" | 12:51 |
| penguin42 | <sigh> I really should see a dentist | 12:53 |
| daftykins | :D | 12:58 |
| daftykins | uh oh, tooth trouble? | 12:58 |
| penguin42 | oh I never see a dentist so they're a bit of a disaster | 13:00 |
| daftykins | i'm not one for routine, but they've told me in the past they're pretty good! | 13:00 |
| daftykins | probably about 7 years since i visited xD when this quote began i did drop in to see their hygienist for a scrub, though | 13:01 |
| daftykins | there are about 3 dentists within 150m of me | 13:01 |
| daftykins | i had to tell that same company that the anti-malware built into Windows 10 didn't meet a thing they claimed it did as well, concerns me when they don't know their job :( | 13:10 |
| daftykins | zxmpi: what time d'you call this, then? :P | 16:49 |
| zxmpi | time for me to make my pi accessible from outside my home network :-D | 16:50 |
| daftykins | crikey! | 16:51 |
| daftykins | got a nice dynamic DNS going and a port opened? | 16:51 |
| zxmpi | just that it opens a security hole into your network no matter how small and secure | 16:51 |
| daftykins | certainly whilst you're exposing your IP like that | 16:52 |
| * daftykins gasps | 16:53 | |
| zxmpi | it's why i love my psion. i'd like to see the bugger who can hack that remotely :-P | 16:53 |
| * daftykins positions himself within infrared line of sight | 16:54 | |
| daftykins | <zxmpi> who the hell are you? what do you want? | 16:54 |
| daftykins | :D | 16:54 |
| zxmpi | the avalanche has started, it's too late for the pebbles to vote - kosh | 16:55 |
| zxmpi | don't think i ever beamed on a psion. i remember trying with a psion 5 but the irda adapter i had on windows did nothing but make a bong noise and did nothing else | 16:59 |
| daftykins | heh | 17:00 |
| zxmpi | palm os made beaming fun and insanely useful | 17:01 |
| zxmpi | if i could bring back irda and have it replace bluetooth i would | 17:03 |
| daftykins | i always saw cables and cradles before ir | 17:03 |
| daftykins | heh it would no doubt be an improvement, yet another security issue with bluetooth in the news today i think i saw | 17:03 |
| zxmpi | it's not secure but it is short range and line of sight. it was good enough | 17:04 |
| zxmpi | plus you had apps where you could draw remote controls on your palm and assign each button a code from a remote you pointed at it :-) | 17:07 |
| penguin42 | they're setting up for the Parklife concert across the road | 17:24 |
| daftykins | ooh | 18:44 |
| daftykins | think i might pick up one of these for work tasks - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dymo-LetraTag-LT-100H-Starter-Handheld/dp/B08BSW25K2/ | 18:44 |
| zxmpi | had an expensive electic label maker. pain in the backside constantly finding batteries for it. replaced it with a manual jobbie | 18:47 |
| daftykins | heh, i did see they sell a manual embosser type thing but everyone says 'AVOID' | 18:47 |
| zxmpi | a pain to use but nobody wastes the tape as it's slow and it requires no charging. my 2c :-) | 18:48 |
| daftykins | yip certainly worthy points, although i'm already into tool battery hell with my network tester and cable tracers xD | 18:49 |
| zxmpi | doesn't mention what batteries it uses so is it recharageable. how many years before those batteries die? | 18:49 |
| daftykins | 4 x AA | 18:50 |
| zxmpi | sounds like the one we had. and when we needed it 2-3 times a year the batteries would be knackered and need replacing | 18:50 |
| penguin42 | you'd think everything would run off USB now | 19:01 |
| zxmpi | usb-c for those of us lucky to be in eu in 2024 :-P | 19:41 |
| penguin42 | it's OK, we'll use those quaint round pinned 3 pin plugs | 19:50 |
| daftykins | i wonder if the UK one holds the top spot for most-pain inflicted upon stepping on | 19:51 |
| penguin42 | I find the bigger problem with them is the pain when dropped in an uncomfortable location | 19:54 |
| daftykins | weeeell, we warned you about the post-shower nude juggling! | 20:01 |
| penguin42 | that's why it's dangerous to use electrics in the bathroom | 20:04 |
