| * penguin42 seems to have bought himself a Pico-W | 18:32 | |
| zxmpi | they were all out of pizza? | 18:40 |
|---|---|---|
| penguin42 | it crept onto the end of an order; you know, like an extra desert | 18:46 |
| zxmpi | happens all the time | 18:47 |
| penguin42 | I've got enough control to avoid actually buying a full Pi, I almost went for an obscure but heavily discounted) Intel Curie/Quark board | 18:55 |
| zxmpi | but you could have invested in a breeding pair of rasp pi 5 and left them in a drawer alone for a few months | 18:58 |
| penguin42 | that explains a lot | 18:59 |
| daftykins | :) | 21:17 |
| daftykins | so far i have fallen victim to a £220 shuckable 18TB WD Elements HDD from amazon and an 11th gen Lenovo Thinkpad T14 gen2 with 32GB RAM and 512 GB SSD on ebay for £380 delivered | 21:17 |
| penguin42 | that T14 should be good | 21:18 |
| daftykins | yeah i lucked out, the guy had it for 450 then the listing expired and relisted for 400, so i offered under and it got instantly accepted | 21:20 |
| zxmpi | taking in a rescue thinkpad for crimbo keeping it in the warm :-) | 21:21 |
| daftykins | the 5th gen T450 can tell it stories from its' youth in the lounge, it runs Kubuntu 22.04 | 21:24 |
| daftykins | i had it delivered to Exeter though as i'll be there soon enough, means i have to wait :) | 21:28 |
| daftykins | i think i was sharing the fun tale about my blocked ear in here possibly, i went in Tuesday morning for micro-suction at Specsavers locally | 21:29 |
| daftykins | brilliant process as they have a camera so they can directly show you what's up, saw my right was perfectly clear, left a 100% occlusion by wax covering the whole drum | 21:29 |
| daftykins | no luck removing as it wasn't soft enough, having a heck of a time putting oil in at the moment as it's expanding the wax and pressing on the drum, each swallow gives a bit of pain now | 21:30 |
| penguin42 | <chew> | 21:30 |
| daftykins | heh i only wish that helped | 21:30 |
| penguin42 | interesting specsavers does that microsuction thing, I know my dad had it done at some psecialists | 21:31 |
| daftykins | yeah, i would have used my doctors surgery but they want north of £100 for what specsavers want £55 | 21:31 |
| daftykins | i don't think they're fully as skilled as ones i've seen on youtube though, might just be a kind of side avenue for them | 21:32 |
| daftykins | amusingly though the lady is the wife of someone i used to work for - you can always rely on Guernsey's 1 degree of separation | 21:32 |
| zxmpi | tis a small place | 21:40 |
| daftykins | g'night \o | 22:32 |
