54:08 <reavow> 4k tv for roughly $400. yep. gettin' it. dunno when tho.
55:51 <Devil45> whats wrong with it - is it stolen?
56:13 <Devil45> or is it a cheap brand
56:35 <Devil45> 400 bucks sounds a bit cheap to me for a 4K set
57:43 <reavow> kogan tv - it's cheap because they're new to the market
58:06 <reavow> it's also good quality because they don't do tactics like planned obsolescence yet
58:20 <reavow> they will once they get bigger tho
58:30 <reavow> then their electronic equipment will start to break
10:52 <reavow> it was on sale for $379 a few weeks ago, i'm just waiting for it to go back to that price
11:09 * HellFury smacks reavow with a used toilet plunger... you talk shit!
12:49 <reavow> i haven't spoken a lie, but i do talk shit
14:28 <HellFury> you talk general shit
14:45 <reavow> no shit, general
14:45 <Devil45> kogan is cheap
14:55 <Devil45> and has a high failure rate
14:56 <HellFury> i use kodi on the tv in the room
15:08 <Devil45> if you were to get a 4k set - go samsung
15:19 <Devil45> or LG at least they offer extended warranties
16:13 <reavow> i have little gremlins that repair shit for me (not to be confused with gremlinz) so if it breaks, i've got something better than a warranty
16:34 <reavow> within reason, of course
16:40 <reavow> if the glass breaks i'm shit outta luck
16:50 <Devil45> yea if the panel cracks youre fucked
17:02 <Devil45> because the panel can only be replaced at the factory
17:29 <Devil45> ive only ever had one flat screen tv with a cracked panel but that was a panasonic viera
17:41 <Devil45> was replaced under warranty
17:53 <reavow> nice
17:57 <Devil45> the whole set :D
18:07 <reavow> not to be confused with palsonic
18:11 <Devil45> i still have it too - got it 10 years ago
18:17 <reavow> i wouldn't buy a palsonic anything
18:25 <Devil45> around the beijing olympics
18:41 <Devil45> 2008 - problem is it does not pick up ten hd
18:59 <reavow> that's alright - and that's what i'm expecting with this 4k tv to last about 10 years
19:09 <Devil45> found out it supports MPEG-2 but not MPEG-4
19:41 <reavow> yeah, it wouldn't be like they release firmware upgrades for mpeg4 anymore
19:52 <reavow> not for a tv that old anyway
19:53 <Devil45> sometimes it wont turn on - but blinks one red led
20:10 <Devil45> mpeg-4 is newer than mpeg-2
20:20 <reavow> well, see, that's the thing, i'm not using it for tv, i'm using it as a monitor
20:28 <Devil45> pc monitor?
20:32 <reavow> yep
20:36 <Devil45> hmmmm long as its got hdmi youre ok
20:43 <reavow> 2x hdmi
20:55 <Devil45> my other viera has 4 hdmi
21:02 <Devil45> and supports mpeg-4
21:05 <Devil45> so ten hd works
21:25 <reavow> it would be nice to be able to flick over to tv when i'm bored, too
21:28 <Devil45> and both sets will take a pc :D
21:39 <Devil45> ah i got a pc with a tv card
21:55 <Devil45> just open media center or mediaportal (depending on os) and live tv
22:13 <reavow> there was a decent samsung tv that had picture in picture, was considering getting that, but nothing competes with kogan in price
22:55 <reavow> i was considering getting a tv tuner again, that'd be awesome
23:07 <reavow> i currently have 1 spare usb port, so it's feasible
23:33 <Devil45> pip is good
23:39 <Devil45> but sometimes the main tuner fails
23:46 <Devil45> leaving you just the small picture
23:57 <Devil45> i believe bravia sets had that
24:41 <reavow> i've had too many problems with various different tv tuners
24:48 <reavow> not sure i'll do that again
25:30 <reavow> plus the reception is already terrible
26:03 <reavow> would be nice to be able to watch the f1 racing when it's on tho
26:38 <reavow> maybe news24 other times
26:42 <reavow> or sky news or whatever
27:59 <Devil45> i only watch some tv
28:02 <Devil45> for 9-1-1
28:11 <Devil45> and my guilty pleasure - judge judy
28:22 <reavow> judge judy is awesome
28:27 <reavow> she's a legend
29:13 <reavow> dunno if she's still making new episodes, but it's one of those shows that people would rather watch than anything else on tv
29:22 <HellFury> i could nap
29:27 <HellFury> but i have a 4 pm pick up
29:27 <Devil45> i saw some 2018 episodes not long ago
29:42 <Devil45> ten is still airing last years
29:56 <reavow> HellFury if you nap, are you known for not getting up during these naps?
30:10 <HellFury> if i pass out i pass out
30:12 <reavow> like, even when you're required to?
30:18 <HellFury> i sleep 2 hrs and get up
30:41 <HellFury> light sleeper
30:44 <HellFury> so i get up
31:19 <reavow> well, 2 hours, sleep cycle is 20-30mins, you'll wake up 4-12 times during that 2 hour nap, that gives you a window
31:48 <reavow> i reckon nap or coffee, but one or the other, and soon
31:57 <reavow> brb, coffee
32:12 <HellFury> i hardly sleep as it is
33:19 <Devil45> when my head hits the pillow im out like a salvos raffle book.
37:04 <reavow> everyone wakes up every 20-30mins, it's just you don't remember it, and don't always open your eyes
37:48 <reavow> deep sleep is a bit different, tho
38:42 <reavow> usually takes at least 2 hours before going into a deep sleep
38:59 <reavow> sometimes lasts between 2 and 4 hours
39:10 <reavow> after that, more of the 20-30min cycle
39:27 <Devil45> not me once i hit that pillow im in a virtual coma
40:31 <reavow> it's a bit of a bugger to set up, but check out `sleep cycle' app on android/ios
40:50 <reavow> needs to be plugged in next to your bed, pretty easy otherwise
41:03 <reavow> you might be surprised how your sleep actually works
41:40 <reavow> the idea is, it will wake you up in one of the 20-30min windows when you're in the lightest stage of sleep
44:29 * HellFury slides the warm furry cat towards her and snuggles her close
45:25 <reavow> i'm considering replacing my heater with a cat, but my neighbour doesn't like pets so i'm worried he'll kill it if i get one
45:48 <HellFury> i got 2 of them
45:54 <HellFury> one is here snuggling up
45:58 <reavow> plus the whole wildlife thing... maybe i could keep them indoors only
46:16 <HellFury> mmm both mine don't touch birds
46:19 <reavow> kinda doesn't feel right to not let cats outside tho
46:32 <HellFury> yah thats why i let my two out
46:46 <HellFury> https://imgur.com/m2TgXk5
46:57 <reavow> you should totally put cat gps on your cats' collar, see what they get up to
47:05 <HellFury> older cat
47:08 <HellFury> shes 8
47:08 <Devil45> we got some ferals here but a small tub of ammonia near the doorstep discourages the toms from 'marking their territory'
47:10 <HellFury> the other is 4
47:24 Quit: HellFury ([email protected]) EOF from client
48:10 <reavow> she looks older than 8

49:22 <reavow> lol yeah
49:28 <HellFury> nah i don't like apple stuff
49:35 <HellFury> unless its a ipod mini shuffle
49:46 <reavow> me either, unless it's an apple keyboard
50:03 <reavow> even then i prefer ibm 90's style keyboards over that

00:20 <reavow> ($199/mo)
00:56 <reavow> i guess if it's 5g it would be worth it
01:12 Quit: HellFury ([email protected]) Quit: Bite My Shiny Metal Arse!
01:14 <Devil45> i wouldnt pay that much unless its NBN
01:37 <reavow> yeah, but so many people are having problems with nbn

27:13 <reavow> i know more about vampires than most people, tho
27:29 <reavow> it's not `dracula' - it's `drexen' properly translated
36:23 <Devil45> when it comes to trolls - trump oko pong and pliv take the oscar
37:55 <reavow> it all adds up
38:06 <reavow> they've got nothing better to do
38:26 <reavow> they'll even troll each other given the chance
38:37 <reavow> yet, somehow, they don't mind if this happens

46:06 <reavow> trying to decide if i should buy a 10amp powerboard
47:32 <reavow> how many 680 watt devices can i plug into a 10amp powerboard i wonder
48:18 <reavow> 2400 watts divided by 680
48:39 <reavow> 3
49:26 <reavow> with about 350 watts to spare
51:10 <reavow> well, i guess it can be done, but i'll have 5 or 6 spare plugs that i hope nobody else plugs into
52:03 <reavow> i'd get those plastic covers that plug into powerpoints so nobody else would use them, but they're a fire hazard and some groups have called for their ban due to the fires they cause
48:27 Join: hp ([email protected]) to #Australia
53:26 <reavow> apparently they damage the circuitry that determines if something is plugged in
53:26 Mode: (by HellFury) +v hp
53:54 <reavow> it's not while they're plugged in that is the problem
54:25 <reavow> it's removing the plastic cover, and then plugging in something else
54:45 <reavow> shorts it, often with a fire afterward

29:59 <mesph> Sorry, I'm too uncultured to get the joke (if that was one).
30:45 <reavow> just found it peculiar that you joined at such somewhat precision timing
31:04 <reavow> some might say you're kissing clocks
31:49 <mesph> I lament not having recorded the Unix time output of my join.
33:17 <reavow> i lament using windows, perhaps you were on time, and it's not using the navy time server, so it's entirely possible
34:00 <mesph> NTP server not doing it's thing. Obviously bad for mining bitcoin too.
34:25 <reavow> very bad. could start a fire.
35:30 <reavow> wasn't really expecting you until sunday
36:06 <mesph> You care much about vulnerabilities reavow? Somebody alerted me to this gem today: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=153504937925732&w=2
36:29 <mesph> TL;DR: turn off hyperthreading if you use an Intel CPU.
37:38 <reavow> it's easier/simpler to allow others to break in, see there's not much to see, then leave, hopefully without changing much
38:11 <mesph> Heheh. :trollface:
38:18 <reavow> i should probably do that, tho
38:58 <reavow> especially given hyperthreading doesn't make much of a difference in unix/linux
39:51 <reavow> i don't really keep up all that well in i.t.
40:10 <mesph> Neither. I usually hear about it from the grapevine, when shit starts hitting the fan.
41:09 <reavow> of course, with training, perhaps i could become a novice, suffice enough to use various tools at your disposal
41:12 <reavow> at least i can hope
41:42 <mesph> Kinda wish I got into infosec. Pretty damn lucrative biz.
42:55 <reavow> there are better paying jobs with the equivalent skills; it eventually comes down to watching others commit crimes which grows old fast
45:29 <reavow> i suppose there's the line where you make others commit crimes
45:59 <reavow> something i never really found attractive about the industry
47:54 <reavow> observation changes the outcome
