[02:33:50] <systemd> ^ 03Why Do Hard Drives fail? You can't always blame Seagate, Western Digital or Toshiba.
[02:34:22] <chromas> I'll blame who I want
[02:34:50] <ted-ious> Blame canada!

[08:21:08] <chromas> me when I find out I can go up to 5gig fiber for just a bit more than I'm paying now
[08:29:18] <janrinok> I am still having to put up with ADSL!
[08:32:36] <chromas> I thought Europe was supposed to be way ahead of us in internets
[08:32:48] <chromas> Can we blame brexit?
[08:33:39] <janrinok> Yeah, why not ???
[08:33:50] <janrinok> Er, I'm in France though...
[08:34:05] <chromas> oh I had it backward for a second
[08:34:15] <chromas> there see, backwards american. I'm keeping up the stereotype
[08:35:27] <janrinok> Most of Europe is ahead - but I don't live in most of Europe. I live in the bit where they have run out of money that the Govt put aside for providing fibre to everyone.
[08:36:31] <janrinok> So rural areas are still waiting. I think the latest estimate is 2029.
[08:37:20] <chromas> is that what the French Connection was about? DSL?
[08:37:34] <janrinok> The cable runs only a few metres away, but keeps on running...
[08:38:06] <chromas> Get your ladder and run a tap
[08:38:29] <janrinok> The crooks have better connections than I do. The cable is buried, not up a pole.
[08:40:39] <chromas> Get yer shovel then
[08:41:18] <chromas> "Hey, while you guys are out repairing this line, wanna run a strand over to my house?"
