| zxmpi | the day the eath stood still. always a classic | 20:11 |
| penguin42 | Klaato beraada nihto! | 20:12 |
| penguin42 | c | 20:12 |
| penguin42 | feels fred_ does need something more computery though | 20:15 |
| fred_ | im open to suggestions | 20:16 |
| penguin42 | Well, there is always https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project but I find it a bit slow; not watched it for a long time though | 20:23 |
| fred_ | thanks, i'll check it out | 20:23 |
| penguin42 | fred_: What's your new computers spec? | 20:28 |
| fred_ | Ryzen 7500x with 32gb ram, and a rtx 3050 gpu | 20:30 |
| penguin42 | excellent | 20:33 |
| fred_ | Im getting back into Blender and my current potato laptop shuts down when i try to render | 20:33 |
| penguin42 | ah yes blender does like some grunt | 20:34 |
| fred_ | I found The Forbin Project, actually seems decent, thanks | 20:35 |
| davef | I had a new dishwasher delivered today, very exciting! | 22:05 |
| penguin42 | does it? | 22:06 |
| daftykins | those have been some of my best feeling repairs... kitchen appliances | 22:07 |
| daftykins | when i replaced the broken thermostat on my Smeg fan oven... bliss | 22:07 |
| davef | My first dishwasher, I think I repaired it 4 times before it fell apart and the latch finally broke. It was 10yrs old. | 22:08 |
| davef | I've since then was given an old counter top dishwasher, it was 10yrs old when I got it.. but it served me well for a year. | 22:08 |
| davef | It was crusty, also falling apart. The replacement one I ordered from Amazon. | 22:09 |
| fred_ | my last dishwasher broke down and left me nearly 19 years ago | 22:09 |
| davef | Did it take half your worth too? | 22:10 |
| daftykins | xD | 22:10 |
| fred_ | yes :( | 22:10 |
| davef | Yup, mine did that 5 years ago. | 22:10 |
| fred_ | do you also find things peaceful ever since? | 22:11 |
| davef | Hell yes! | 22:11 |
| daftykins | single life ftw | 22:11 |
| daftykins | i just got back from beer and Thai food at one of my dentist clients, the restaurant had an emergency tonight because their POS was being a POS... touchscreen was no longer calibrated | 22:12 |
| davef | I get to buy all the Lego I want, I can stay up late drinking with friends, I can go where I want. It's bliss. | 22:12 |
| daftykins | went over and had a look when we ordered, then i took them a mouse as a backup for now... got dinner for free and also beers whilst we sat there | 22:12 |
| davef | Nice | 22:13 |
| fred_ | lets hope your new dishwasher keeps the peace | 22:13 |
| davef | Me too, at least this one doesn't talk back. | 22:13 |
| fred_ | lol | 22:13 |
| fred_ | daftykins, thats a good workaround, thinking outside the box | 22:16 |
| daftykins | :D even after closing the POS software it kept stealing the focus of the active window when i tried to run other software, couldn't believe staring at Windows XP in 2023 on a celeron with 384 MB RAM | 22:17 |
| daftykins | apparently they've had it for somewhere between 15-18 years | 22:17 |
| daftykins | Thai people are always to easy going and friendly, always nice to help out | 22:18 |
| daftykins | last week i got takeaway and he'd asked me to look at his fridge of all things xD | 22:18 |
| fred_ | if its not broke dont replace it works well for many | 22:19 |
| daftykins | but it did just break xD and even ignoring that, the display on the back which would normally tell a customer the price had long since detached and swung off | 22:19 |
| fred_ | ah, they really wanted the moneys worth out of it | 22:20 |
| daftykins | folk often do! | 22:35 |
