[20:09] <penguin42> hmm, sci-fi
[20:09] <penguin42> Primer?
[20:11] <zxmpi> the day the eath stood still. always a classic
[20:12] <penguin42> Klaato beraada nihto!
[20:12] <penguin42> c
[20:15] <penguin42> feels fred_ does need something more computery though
[20:16] <fred_> im open to suggestions
[20:23] <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
[20:28] <penguin42> fred_: What's your new computers spec?
[20:30] <fred_> Ryzen 7500x with 32gb ram, and a rtx 3050 gpu
[20:33] <penguin42> excellent
[20:33] <fred_> Im getting back into Blender and my current potato laptop shuts down when i try to render
[20:34] <penguin42> ah yes blender does like some grunt
[20:35] <fred_> I found The Forbin Project, actually seems decent, thanks
[22:05] <davef> I had a new dishwasher delivered today, very exciting!
[22:06] <penguin42> does it?
[22:07] <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
[22:08] <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.
[22:09] <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
[22:10] <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.
[22:11] <fred_> do you also find things peaceful ever since?
[22:11] <davef> Hell yes!
[22:11] <daftykins> single life ftw
[22:12] <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
[22:13] <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
[22:16] <fred_> daftykins, thats a good workaround, thinking outside the box
[22:17] <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
[22:18] <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
[22:19] <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
[22:20] <fred_> ah, they really wanted the moneys worth out of it
[22:35] <daftykins> folk often do!
