04:41:26 <Guest|36509> When will the EEVblog Brymen BM235 be back in stock at Amazon US ?
04:41:43 <Ampera> Forums might be a better place.
04:42:18 <Ampera> I'd presume back in stock when it's back in stock, but maybe Dave has an idea.
04:43:06 <Guest|36509> Yep ... which forum topic do u think Dave would be most likely to see this request?
04:43:47 <Ampera> I mean you could always email him, but since it's a very very common question, I'd say look to see if someone has already asked it.
04:44:14 <Ampera> General Chat might be your best bet, or to even PM him on the forums.
04:44:22 <Guest|36509> I already tried that ... no luck; or maybe bad search params.
04:44:37 <Guest|36509> Ok ... PM would be the way to go.
04:44:49 <Guest|36509> Thanks for your help.
04:44:52 <Ampera> just giving suggestions
04:44:53 <Ampera> np
04:45:33 <Guest|36509> ciao

20:20:45 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera :)
20:20:51 <Ampera> Hi
20:20:55 <Halcyon> What's happening?
20:21:02 <Ampera> I started getting things to send, but I'm still collecting some stuf
20:21:08 <Ampera> any particular requests?
20:21:18 <Halcyon> Hehe please don't go to any great trouble or expense
20:21:25 <Ampera> I already am :P
20:21:30 <Halcyon> *sigh*
20:21:41 <Ampera> it's only fair, and that's just how much shipping costs in the US
20:21:44 <Ampera> it's fine
20:21:49 <Halcyon> You realise I will reciprocate
20:21:56 <Ampera> you already said you would
20:22:50 <Halcyon> On another note, I am so happy with my network. I'm basically maxing out my 1 Gbps link copying to/from my 7 year old NAS server
20:23:02 <Ampera> Nice.
20:23:07 <Halcyon> Sustained ~106MB/sec, peaking at 120MB/sec
20:23:39 <Halcyon> I might have to go 10Gbit
20:24:36 <Halcyon> Is there anything you want food-wise from here?
20:24:44 <Ampera> not vegemite
20:24:48 <Halcyon> Or any computer bits I can throw in?
20:24:49 <Ampera> and note vegetable
20:24:52 <Halcyon> Yes, I know. You've said.
20:24:53 <Ampera> but besides that whatever
20:27:04 <Halcyon> What else is happening on your side of the world>?
20:28:02 <Ampera> I'm currently directing my grandfather on how to modify his xorg.conf to correctly configure his new dual head setup (using RandR), over a very grainy screen sharing utility
20:28:07 <Ampera> so give me a second while I do that
20:28:31 <Halcyon> No worries
20:31:44 <Ampera> think I've done it
20:31:48 <Halcyon> \o/
20:32:04 <Ampera> I've always used the nvidia utility to handle RandR configuration, but had to do it manually because it was a mesa card
20:32:51 <Halcyon> *touch wood* I think I've sorted out an issue with my video too
20:33:30 <Halcyon> No idea how or what caused it but every now and then, mainly when the screen was "busy" (playing video, scrolling a lot very fast etc...) the image would loose sync at the monitor
20:33:46 <Halcyon> I fiddled with some settings and so far so good
20:34:04 <Ampera> they call it knocking on wood, not touching wood ya perv
20:34:24 <Halcyon> It's known as "touch wood" here
20:34:34 <Ampera> right
20:34:42 <Halcyon> https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Touch%20Wood
20:35:12 <Ampera> the idea with knocking on wood is to ward off the devil from giving you bad luck
20:35:22 <Halcyon> Syre
20:35:23 <Halcyon> Sure
20:35:30 <Halcyon> And you can say that here too, people would get what you mean
20:36:46 <Ampera> anyways, when I used to use windows, my graphics driver would on occasion just break
20:37:24 <Ampera> what it would do is make 3D acceleration, and even loading games, incredibly slow to the point where 1993 Doom on a software renderer would be almsot unplayable.
20:37:32 <Ampera> and it wouldn't fix until I reinstalled the driver.
20:37:48 <Ampera> This happened on WIndows 7 and 2016 on two different motherboards (same card though)
20:38:57 <Halcyon> I love Linux but Video drives are where I've been let down the most
20:39:15 <Halcyon> By "let down", I mean it's taken quite a bit of fiddling to get them to work rightg
20:39:38 <Halcyon> Where as with Windows it usually (for me) either works or it doesn't and it's very obvious when it doesn't
20:46:05 <Ampera> That's strange, because I've always found Windows drivers (at least nvidia's) to be incredibly annoying to download and install, and prone to massive issues and breaking
20:46:19 <Halcyon> I've had the opposite with NVIDIA
20:46:25 <Halcyon> AMD however, dramas almost every time
20:47:22 <Ampera> whereas on Linux I have never, to date, had an issue with reliability nor installation for the proprietary nvidia drivers, nor the open source mesa based drivers (except noveau, but that's a given)
20:47:32 <Halcyon> *nod*
20:47:54 <Ampera> AMD drivers were actually always nice on Windows, still annoying, but at least the earlier ATI catalyst drivers were easy to use and never gave me problems.
20:48:30 <Ampera> The only time I've ever had Unix-like issues with graphics drivers was on FreeBSD, where setting up nvidia drivers is an exercise in, which peice of documentation is out of date
21:11:46 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: You had one design task. https://t.co/z7CcREZHX0
21:16:32 <Ampera> Halcyon, do you know anything about Australian customs stuff for food, as in what I can't sent
21:16:55 <Ampera> looked up one place and it said no dairy or meat (along with alcohol and seafood, but that's not as much of a concern)
21:18:33 <Halcyon> http://www.agriculture.gov.au/travelling/bringing-mailing-goods
21:21:04 <K> hello
21:21:32 <Ampera> alright that's considerably more reasonable
21:26:48 <Halcyon> :)
