00:24 Wayne welcomes us to Series 5 Episode 10, and the guys discuss the weather and the impending heatwave.
02:50 Mark tells us he was on <a href="https://linuxlads.com/">Linux Lads</a> discussing <a href="https://linuxlads.com/episodes/season-2-episode-9">Linuxy stuff</a>. This leads the conversation around to <a href="https://fosstalk.com/">Foss Talk Live</a> and then on to the <a href="https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-blog-1/post/ubuntu-touch-ota-9-release-225">OTA 9 release of Ubuntu Touch</a>.
08:55 Mark goes on to talk about a recent <a href="https://www.healthandsafetyreview.ie/conference-details/8">Occupational Safety and Health conference</a> he was at, highlights of which were the <a href="https://www.populationpyramid.net/ireland/2017/">population pyramid</a> and the way its shape is becoming one of a pig swallowed by a snake, and how this in turn leads to <a href="https://www.csiro.au/en/news/news-releases/2018/six-megatrends-workplace-health-safety">six megatrends shaping the future workforce environment</a>, the first point of which, extending the reach of automated systems and robotics led into the third presentation on <a href="https://www.bcg.com/publications/2015/engineered_products_project_business_industry_4_future_productivity_growth_manufacturing_industries.aspx">Industry 4.0</a> and <a href="https://www.coboticsworld.com/">cobotics</a>. The word Cobot is a contraction of two words, these being collaboration and robot. <a href="https://www.iso.org/standard/62996.html">ISO/TS 15066:2016</a> specify the safety requirements for collaborative industrial robot systems and the work environment. Other standards related to cobotics / robotics include <a href="https://www.iso.org/standard/51528.html">EN ISO 12100</a>, <a href="https://www.iso.org/standard/69883.html">EN ISO 13849-1</a>, <a href="https://cemarking.net/tag/en-1037/">EN 1037</a>, <a href="https://www.iso.org/standard/59970.html">EN ISO 13850</a>, <a href="https://www.iso.org/standard/42845.html">EN ISO 13855</a>, <a href="https://www.iso.org/standard/39255.html">EN ISO 13857</a>, <a href="https://www.iso.org/standard/51330.html">EN ISO 10218-1</a>, <a href="https://www.iso.org/standard/41571.html">EN ISO 10218-2</a>, <a href="https://www.iso.org/standard/35996.html">EN ISO 11161</a>. Legislation in Europe concerning robots is the <a href="https://osha.europa.eu/en/legislation/directives/directive-2006-42-ec-of-the-european-parliament-and-of-the-council">Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC</a> and use of robots is contained within the <a href="https://osha.europa.eu/en/legislation/directives/3">Work Equipment Directive 2009/104/EC</a>. The take away from the presentation was that these technologies are going to be happening whether we want them or not and this led Mark to think about the conversation <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOFuQLTVdZc">Doc Searles and Simon Phipps had at Freenode</a>. Instead of a head long rush into a technological dystopia controlled by profiteering corporations, we need to build socially acceptable norms where humanity is respected followed by regulation and legislation. The guys have a discussion around the whole topic. Wayne tells us <a href="https://www.tesco.com/">Tesco</a> are still using <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14223/windows-xp-end-of-support">Windows XP</a>...
