00:42:47 <Nothing\> finally i found a feature on my tv that's actually useful, this screenshare thing for my phone
00:43:57 <Nothing\> it'll use bluetooth to display whahtever's on the phone's screen on the tv, but you can control the phone from the tv as well using the mouse, it's really nifty except for the fact that it's always on, so anybody using the TV can see everything you're doing as well as control the phone
00:44:05 <Nothing\> i used it to really screw with my mom lol
00:47:12 <K> that's not nice
00:47:36 <Nothing\> lol oh come on, the elderly are so easy and fun to mess with with electronics
00:48:01 <Nothing\> my dad told me about how he screwed with my grandfather back in the day, giving him a calculator and telling him it was the remote for the TV
00:48:57 <K> hrm
00:49:04 <Nothing\> my mom gets confused if she hears any odd sounds that aren't supposed to be, so i was thinking i should make one of those wee circuits that randomly chirps or beeps and hide it somewhere in her room
00:49:20 <K> don't
00:49:30 <Nothing\> lol no i know, that's just cruel
00:49:31 <K> that could really screw with someones head, esp if older
00:49:33 <DHess_US> No, screwing with someone means taking a screenshot of their blank desktop with one icon on it and then settign that to their wallpaper.
00:49:53 <Nothing\> K: oh she's still with it, by confused i didn't mean literally confused, she just gets obsessive about what the source of the sound is
00:50:01 <Nothing\> lol i've done that DHess_US
00:50:27 <Nothing\> i used it as a "security feature" on my old computer, i'd have a pic of the desktop with icons for the wallpaper
00:50:46 <Nothing\> i also used dvorak and when i could i used this aurebesh font from star wars that replaces letters with other symbols
00:51:11 <Nothing\> just dvorak alone was enough for security though, even if somebody knew my password they couldn't log in
00:52:41 <DHess_US> Easier just to swap caps lock and control on the keyboard.
00:53:05 <K> why not both?
00:53:09 <Nothing\> lol
00:53:30 <DHess_US> Control belongs adjacent to the A key anywhere where God intended it.
00:53:33 <K> do you use dvorak now, Nothing\?
00:53:59 <Nothing\> yeah i've used dvorak for about 10 years
00:54:40 <Nothing\> never noticed it being any faster, in fact it took me a couple of years before i surpassed my qwerty speed, but i do find it's more comfortable but i think i use it more out of habit than anything else
00:55:36 <Nothing\> it's annoying when i have to use a qwerty keyboard too cuz i have to almost look at the keys for the first hour or so while i get used to it
00:56:21 <Nothing\> or when i used a pc, it was annoying when i'd try to play a game having to remap all of the controls, although some of them did it automatically which was great
00:56:31 <Nothing\> and dosbox just didn't support dvorak at all
00:56:34 <Nothing\> that i know of
00:59:42 <Nothing\> fucking hell, that chipmunk out there's gonna run into my house one of these days
01:00:11 <Nothing\> the second i open the door he comes running up to me, i hand feed him peanuts but he seemed like he was just gonna bolt into the house while i was grabbing one for him
01:01:52 <K> heh
01:02:36 <K> you are responsible for those you have tamed and all that
01:10:27 <DHess_US> He's raising a squirrel army.
01:10:43 <DHess_US> Remember, they defeated Dr. Doom.
01:12:37 <DHess_US> https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-eba2cd31b01ff883eaa3042294adb01f
01:13:20 <K> wretched rodents!
01:14:16 <K> why did i ever google that.
01:14:25 <DHess_US> https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1370221-avengers-infinity-war
01:19:07 <K> i see.
02:18:24 <Nothing\> lol not just squirrels, chipmunks, grackles and blue jays, too
02:18:45 <Nothing\> damn expensive to feed them, i think i spend about $30 a week on peanuts lol
02:19:12 <Nothing\> been trying to find a place that sells non-food grade peanuts in bulk
02:20:12 <Nothing\> le sigh, i'm bored
02:22:39 <Nothing\> i've got a bike you can ride it if you like it's got a basket a bell that rings and things to make it look good
02:23:51 <K> then what is the problem?
02:24:48 <Nothing\> not sure, ask syd barret
02:25:38 <Nothing\> hrm i think i'll play mega man 10
02:27:18 <Nothing\> i really hate how sensationalistic and overhyped the weather network is, there's an article here talking about how there's such a huge risk of severe thunderstorms here, but if the risk is that high why is there no warning/watch? well, at least they don't name every thunderstorm and blizzard that comes through
02:32:09 <K> whsounds like the "weather network" is about weather the same way "fox news" is about actual news
02:33:12 <Nothing\> yeah it's not quite as bad as american media, but definitely takes after it
03:12:52 <Ampera> hi Nothing\
03:17:51 <DHess_US> Gun for squirrels, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6r5I14naXKo
03:18:40 <DHess_US> We had a close call last night. Warnings got up to the take shelter or die point.
03:19:00 <DHess_US> I got some video of the wall cloud as it went over me.
03:19:18 <DHess_US> Not very impressive from under it since you cannot see much.
03:21:00 <Ampera> DHess_US, that's fun
03:21:49 <DHess_US> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEnAnutxD6U
03:22:26 <DHess_US> The tornado would have been behind me but view in that direction was blocked.
03:22:56 <Ampera> mmm, that's properly nasty looking
03:23:47 <DHess_US> I should have kept recording. A little later, you could more easily see the difference in speed and direction between the wall cloud and upper clouds.
03:24:43 <DHess_US> So I was under the wall cloud looking out.
03:25:34 <Ampera> In other less windy news, I've been messing around with Xpra
04:07:01 <steve30> sounds like someone has just been knocking on the door again

06:59:24 <randoh> Can anyone care to chime in on https://www.avrfreaks.net/forum/atmega48-spi-stops-working-when-delay-main-loop#comment-2698581 for me :/ ?
07:00:27 <randoh> basically, atmega spi stops clocking, completely when the main loop incorporates a delay

09:37:28 <T3sl4> is dave literally doing a "hey i have a wallet, bet you can't donate to me!" campaign?
09:39:38 <T3sl4> think i'll have some pasta with an egg on it
09:40:30 <steve30> I had pasta with cheese
09:50:25 <T3sl4> :)
09:53:09 <steve30> I see (hear) Niel Nunes is doing the shipping forecast and wishing us a good night tonight. Haven't heard him for a long time.
09:53:20 <steve30> Having said that, I don't listen to the shipping forecast much these days
10:03:37 <steve30> I should go out somewhere
10:07:03 <coppice_> get your vote in early :)
