00:06:00 <electrohead> big price difference, lol
00:06:00 <eddie> yer he doth no need a massive screen.. a 24" one is what is wanted
00:07:00 <eddie> I am looking at the Dell Ultrasharp U3219Q 32" UHD 4K 60Hz 5MS HDR400 IPS LED Monitor and the BenQ DesignVue PD3200U 32" UHD 4K 60Hz 4MS IPS LED fir my screen upgrade..
00:08:00 <eddie> the BenQ is $1299 aud and the Dell is $1499
00:08:00 <eddie> Aussie $$$$ that is..
00:08:00 <electrohead> ouch
00:08:00 <eddie> I have had a good run out of this Dell 3014 7 years so far...
00:09:00 <electrohead> I'm currently in search of the best 15 inch touchscreen monitor, for the beer store
00:09:00 <eddie> ok
00:09:00 <eddie> 15" screens are hard to get at the usual computer shops here (unless they are laptops)
00:11:00 <electrohead> I need to resort to the internet
00:11:00 <electrohead> good luck with something like that here locally
00:11:00 <electrohead> lol
00:13:00 <eddie> Oh..
00:13:00 <eddie> I have several computer shops near me.. different companies so I am lucky in that regard..
00:14:00 <electrohead> well, there is staples down on the highway, then walmart
00:15:00 <electrohead> oh, and then an electronic components mom/pop shop only three blocks away from me, but.. they mark up a lot of prices, especially on RF feed line >.<
00:15:00 <eddie> umm not realy specialist computer shops then ?
00:15:00 <eddie> cq ?
00:15:00 <eddie> cq dx ?
00:15:00 <eddie> I have maybe 500m of lmr-400 here :)
00:17:00 <electrohead> :o
00:17:00 <electrohead> gimme.
00:17:00 <electrohead> lol
00:18:00 <electrohead> I don't talk on the airwaves, heh
00:19:00 <eddie> I usually have a natter on 2m and 70Cms every day, also talk on 1296Mhz
00:19:00 <electrohead> oh nice
00:19:00 <electrohead> I thought about talking once, but then the anxiety kicked in
00:19:00 <eddie> also use 14 and 3.5Mhz every weekend from the club
00:19:00 <electrohead> so, I don't do that. lol
00:20:00 <eddie> umm use FT8 on HF digital mode use a computer
00:20:00 <eddie> or worse still use packet radio on HF / VHF / UHF etc
00:23:00 <electrohead> I'll think about it
00:24:00 <electrohead> I'm just more of a techy than a talker
00:24:00 <electrohead> enjoy making antenna, setting up stuff, repairs/mods, automating shit
00:24:00 <electrohead> etc etc, list goes on lol
00:24:00 <eddie> umm like some at the radio club near me..
00:25:00 <eddie> digital modes on 1.2Ghz. 2.3Ghz 5.5Ghz 10Ghz (doing the EME thing) bouncing signals off the moon
00:26:00 <electrohead> EME is neat :)
00:26:00 <electrohead> have I ever showed you my antenna setup on my railing?
00:27:00 <eddie> yep.. I have a few QSL cards here (voice contacts) STS35, VK0HI etc..
00:27:00 <eddie> nahh not seen that, but I am usually sleeping or busy when you are on
00:29:00 <electrohead> https://hellnet.xyz/media/jpg/projects/hamrig04.jpg
00:29:00 <electrohead> the QFH antenna is my pride and joy, lol
00:29:00 <electrohead> so much time into that, getting everything just right, then painting it, weather proofing it
00:31:00 <eddie> good looking array.. even have a loop antenna.. satellite antenna as well I assume
00:32:00 <electrohead> my starlink dish is up on the roof :P
00:32:00 <eddie> okie..
00:32:00 <electrohead> I had to get it >.<
00:32:00 <electrohead> "just because"
00:32:00 <electrohead> but, it's still nice to have a backup internet connection
00:33:00 <eddie> I have internet via a 45 year old phone line...
00:34:00 <eddie> VDSL cannot get more than 92Mbps down and 37Mbps up
00:37:00 <electrohead> heh
00:37:00 <electrohead> my primary connection is comcast
00:38:00 <eddie> umm fibre ?

00:39:00 <eddie> umm on the ol cable TV network ay ?
00:44:00 <electrohead> yeah
00:44:00 <electrohead> the speeds are really good, but then.. comcast likes to charge a lot >.<
00:48:00 <eddie> umm I pay too much here anyways.. like $109 (aud) per month
00:50:00 <eddie> bit cool here, bed seems a nice place to be now.. down to below 16Deg C here (60f)

23:41:00 <electrohead> heh
23:41:00 <eddie> [21:32] * electrohead ([email protected]) has joined #Australia
23:42:00 <electrohead> damn
23:42:00 <eddie> that link you posted electrohead looked like linux barfed
23:43:00 <electrohead> yeah big time, lol
23:44:00 <eddie> only ever seen that once here.. and that was a few years ago as well..
23:45:00 <eddie> last linux issue here was when the hdd failed and took with it /home
23:45:00 <eddie> no more hdd.. only SSD in the linux computers here now..
23:46:00 <eddie> my main winblows still needs a graft.. remove 2Tb hdd, install 2Tb SSD, remove 6Tb hdd and install 4Tb ssd
23:47:00 <eddie> but that is a task for next month. so I will be off here for a while when I change over the stuff as well as do the OS downgrade to win 10 pro / enterprise
23:48:00 <eddie> oopps I bored Jim :(
23:51:00 <electrohead> whoops :(
23:51:00 <electrohead> yeah, my linux stuff hardly crashes hard
23:51:00 <electrohead> but when it does crash.. it's hard, lol
23:51:00 <electrohead> nothing is windows in here
23:53:00 <eddie> I have linux running on my i3 that has massive storage (major backup place only) I turn it on maybe once every 6 months to make a backup from the second NAS (using seperate network ports to that and the i3)... just in case of some attack (not happened here as yet)
23:53:00 <eddie> my room has windows...
23:56:00 <electrohead> :p
23:56:00 <electrohead> yeah, pretty soon I do want to get a small NAS or make something up, for dedicated backup only
