[12:14:27] <raxas> Apple is badly inferior engineering lately. one of my ipads bloated battery two months ago, cracked open iself. still works, but may burst into flames at any moment
[12:16:21] <raxas> that was the last drop. no more apples

[12:19:43] <raxas> with M1 on their computers I have no use for next macbookpro either, I want amd64 isa, that's what I can write code for
[12:20:52] <raxas> so, they lost me completely. I'll post a picture of bloated ipad somewhere public when I get sufficiently enrage at them
[12:23:35] <raxas> iphone6 can barely boot, dead battery, needs a dock to operate. but still works. the same with ipad mini. apple watch battery lasts for 3 hours now, unusable
[12:24:33] <raxas> I got LG Velvet dual screen as a new phone, but for tablets, it's going to be huawei for very sure
[12:27:02] <raxas> just waiting for their harmonyos devices coming to our market. not buying anymore android shit either
[12:27:31] <t3> isn't harmonyos just a rebranded android?
[12:27:49] <raxas> no, that's completely different kernel and system
[12:32:14] <t3> the pinephone only taking full size SIM cards is a bit of a hassle to get around
[12:35:17] <raxas> cut a precious template with a hole from some plastic and put smaller card into it. our providers are giving out kits like this
[12:35:29] <t3> it comes with one of those
[12:35:53] <t3> trouble is, the SIM and microSD slots are stacked
[12:36:06] <raxas> LG also had cards kits, it's double dual sim/sd
[12:36:29] <t3> so you have to install the adapter into the slot without bending or having a corner come out
[12:36:53] <t3> I gave up
[12:38:56] <t3> the phone companies around here are all pure BS too, so finding short-term service that offers a SIM without signing a new contract is a PITA
[12:53:26] <raxas> that one pinetab is too weak, low ram

[17:35:48] <chromas> but muh gatekeeping
[18:15:26] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: once more: not gonna happen. So long as we have ACs on the site, and one of them notices something going sideways on the site, we need a way for them to contact us out-of-band. This is the primary way to do so. If you do not like seeing such messages, you could always try: /quit
[18:15:48] <AzumaHazuki> that's a lot of words to say "fuck you"
[18:16:22] <AzumaHazuki> why not have a contact form, or have the web client default to a #issues channel or something?
[18:16:59] <Bytram> The proposal seems to suggest: you want to report a problem? Fine, register a nick here and *then* we'll listen?
[18:17:22] <Bytram> *this* is the default.
[18:19:19] <AzumaHazuki> hence why i also suggested a contact form (generates email) or the web client directing to a channel specifically for issues
[18:19:49] <Bytram> annnnd, the last attempt at spamming the channel lasted 6 seconds, and time before that... 8 seconds. Such a calamity!
[18:21:05] <AzumaHazuki> way to miss the point
[18:21:17] <AzumaHazuki> i don't even know why i waste the time trying, sometimes...
[18:21:19] <Bytram> e-mail is sent on a best-efforts basis... not guaranteed. I check my email 1-2 times per day.
[18:21:39] <AzumaHazuki> every DE has some optional mailchecker plugin
[18:21:42] <chromas> we also don't know why you waste time
[18:22:26] <Bytram> the poiint is that your complaining well night exceeds what you are complaining about, at least in volume of text to the channel.
[18:24:10] <Bytram> I see more noise from your complains that from what I'm seeing you complain about.
[18:24:12] <AzumaHazuki> they aren't even close to the same type of content. that is disingenuous as hell
[18:24:33] <AzumaHazuki> that's like saying someone telling you to take a vitamin is the same as someone telling you to go drown in an open sewer
[18:24:49] <chromas> that sounds like the type of thing you'd say though
[18:25:17] <Bytram> where did I say they were the same? Do NOt put words in my mouth,
[18:26:12] <AzumaHazuki> your only complaint was about total volume rather than content. this is...odd, to say the least
[18:26:28] <AzumaHazuki> seems to me you've already decided to be pissed off and to hell with reason or logic
[18:26:28] <Bytram> this is a rare chance for to have a say off from this site and I am *not* going to spend it on this.
[18:26:37] <AzumaHazuki> ah, okay. get some rest then

[20:39:12] <FatPhil> I've stood 1m from colossus while it was running - I could literally have reached out and touched the tape as it ran through the reader.
[20:49:58] <halibut> When/where was that?
[20:51:36] <FatPhil> Bletchley Park, not long after they opened, mid-90s
[20:52:20] <FatPhil> MD of the company was quite friendly with the guys in charge of the restoration effort, so we had a company day out there with access all aread.
[20:53:43] <halibut> I gather even then they were somewhat tight-lipped about what it was and what it did. How much did they tell you about it?
[21:06:14] <FatPhil> They didn't hold anything back. Our tour was given by the old geezer himself, and we were all techies, so we got quite deep.
[21:15:17] <halibut> The presenter in the video made it sound like not much information was given out until 2000. Sounds like you got an early scoop. Quite neat.
[21:51:52] <FatPhil> most info given out was about the reconstruction effort than the innards. But still, yes we were very lucky.
[21:53:03] <FatPhil> The permanent employees agreed that the company should make a donation to the Bletchley Park museum, despite the fact that they knew it would reduce their end of year bonus!
[21:54:34] <FatPhil> Thinking back, this was 1997-1998, as I started going out with the g/f whilst I was at that job.
