[00:00] <daftykins> it has begun
[00:00] <zxmpi> any apples or nuts? :-)
[00:00] <daftykins> have to get past the intro self-congratulation ;)
[00:04] <daftykins> yep new generation silicon confirmed
[00:08] <daftykins> HW accelerated raytracing at last, so they've joined the club
[00:09] <daftykins> hmm, barely worthwhile boost in single core performance on the 'P' cores
[00:10] <daftykins> AV1 decode added, huh that's quite late
[00:35] <zxmpi> death of the touch bar. didn't know it still existed
[00:37] <daftykins> same here!
[00:37] <daftykins> my client pal has a faulty keyboard ~2017 model, so he's in the market now
[00:37] <daftykins> i said i'd keep him apprised of developments
[00:40] <zxmpi> a million vim users celebrate the return of the esc key :-P
[00:40] <daftykins> 8GB RAM on the vanilla model though in this day and age, yeesh
[00:40]  * zxmpi whistles nonchantly on my 4gb pc :-)
[00:41] <daftykins> yeah but you already confirmed your minimal uses :P
[00:41] <daftykins> or use-cases should i say
[00:41] <zxmpi> i'm a cheapskate :-)
[19:28] <daftykins> big ol' storm is causing things to close up and panic buying at supermarkets over here on the rock :O
[19:28] <daftykins> i better pop down the road and get some more emergency hob nobs in
[19:53] <zxmpi> dark choccie ones? :-P
[19:58] <daftykins> nope i don't even go milk, the recently opened nearby shop now has just plain ones
[20:06] <zxmpi> i usually get the generic plain aldi or lidl ones
[20:07] <zxmpi> but an occasional pack of milk or dark is very nice
[21:20]  * penguin42 always ads a pack of asda brand milk oatiethings
[21:44] <daftykins> :)
[21:50]  * penguin42 should figure out how to do spin coating
[21:52] <zxmpi> a good dunking biccie
[21:53]  * penguin42 isn't a dunker, but there again, one could argue that the layer of semi-viscous coating delays the dissolution of the biscuit due to the sugar bonds in the substrate dissolving
[21:53] <daftykins> a true engineer's deduction :D
[22:20] <zxmpi> adds stuctural integrity
