10:59:50 <EEVBlog1> New EEVBlog Tweet: First ride on the driverless #metro https://t.co/nEm6lulkiQ
11:04:58 <DHess_US> You know, I really hate it when something on Windows 10 just works. It makes me wonder what I overlooked and if it involved a trade with the devil for my soul.
11:14:11 <Ampera> DHess_US, fortunately for me, I never had that problem
11:17:55 <DHess_US> I assigned a second IP address and subnet to the ethernet NIC and got an XP machine to talk to it which didn't work previously for ... reasons.
11:18:20 <DHess_US> And it works, and the bottleneck is not the network performance.
11:18:49 <DHess_US> Something is very wrong.
11:19:29 <DHess_US> https://i.imgur.com/gd5WC5R.png
11:20:00 <rust_collector> just wait for the next update. it will delete all your drivers, or something clever
11:20:39 <DHess_US> I tricked it into not updating.
11:20:56 <Ampera> I had an issue with my nvidia drivers on Windows
11:21:07 <Ampera> in that they would semi-break randomly ever so often, and needed to be reinstalled
11:21:13 <DHess_US> So did I. I solved it by throwing the nVidia card in the trash.
11:21:30 <Ampera> I could tell they were broken when I couldn't reach 35FPS on 1993 Doom
11:21:37 <Ampera> using a CPU-driven column renderer
11:21:43 <Ampera> I solved the problem by switching to Linux
11:21:46 <DHess_US> Regression is actually a known issue with graphics drivers.
11:22:01 <Ampera> Regression? The issue is that this would be immediately fixed by simply reinstalling the drivers
11:22:09 <Ampera> and it was not gradual
11:22:20 <DHess_US> Graphics drivers include game specific code but newer graphics drivers dont' include the game specific code for older games.
11:22:22 <Ampera> It's almost as if some sort of memory copy routine was just fucked in the ass
11:22:49 <DHess_US> That's actually a common issue which causes pathalogical performance problems.
11:22:52 <Ampera> DHess_US, when my 486 outperforms my i7-4790k with a GTX 970, like hell is it the fault of game specific code
11:22:55 <DHess_US> Memory management is a big problem.
11:23:14 <Ampera> the thing is it never does this on Linux.
11:23:44 <Ampera> Actually, I wonder, because I did have a somewhat similar incident on Linux, which essentially caused my iGPU to render all content, and then have it be forwarded to my dedicated card
11:23:44 <DHess_US> It's sort of like the ACPI BIOS thing. Linux writes to the specification instead of some magic compatability test.
11:24:15 <Ampera> Linux nor the people responsible for developing it wrote anything, this is a proprietary nvidia-made driver
11:24:21 <Ampera> just like the Windows driver
11:24:31 <DHess_US> My Intel OR840 workstation board is like that. The ACPI works just fine in Windows but fucks BSD and Linux which require customization to work.
11:25:20 <Ampera> I have a Socket 7 board with a rather iffy ACPI implementation
11:25:23 <Ampera> that works when it wants to
11:25:28 <Ampera> which is never
11:27:07 <DHess_US> The OR840 system I have is a pre-release Intel beta system with secret processors so I don't really blame it.
11:27:17 <DHess_US> The processors are actually stamped "secret"
11:27:21 <Ampera> I've never heard of the OR840
11:27:28 <Ampera> what sort of system is it?
11:27:49 <DHess_US> Dual Slot 1 Pentium 3 with RAMBUS
11:27:52 <Ampera> Ah, Slot 1
11:27:56 <Ampera> also lolrambus
11:28:11 <DHess_US> I have an GX system also which is dual Slot 2 Pentium 3 Xeon.
11:28:14 <Ampera> Yeah that looks like the kinda board that something like BSD or Linux would cry at
11:28:27 <DHess_US> But that one was a production system with secret processors.
11:28:42 <DHess_US> That's actually this box.
11:29:00 <Ampera> fucking austnet
11:30:51 <DHess_US> https://i.ibb.co/bPt6L46/Agripa-Xeon.png
11:31:49 <Ampera> I have a Slot 1 P3-450 machine based on the 440BX (SE440BX-II board)
11:32:22 <DHess_US> I have two of those. One is my BSD router and the other is my old workstation which is a backup.
11:32:48 <Ampera> P3-450 router
11:32:51 <Ampera> oh man
11:32:59 <DHess_US> P2-450 router in my case
11:33:08 <Ampera> you don't even get SSE
11:33:11 <DHess_US> But with 384M of ECC RAM
11:33:17 <Ampera> and also you get a furnace
11:33:29 <DHess_US> Naw, with maximum power saving it isn't bad.
11:33:36 <DHess_US> processor just sits at idle.
11:33:55 <DHess_US> replaced the hard drive with a compact flash card.
11:34:09 <Ampera> I also have a Pentium Pro 200Mhz (256k) on a 440FX board
11:34:15 <Ampera> which is one of my favourite systems
11:34:36 <DHess_US> My previous router was a Pentium 60.
11:34:42 <Ampera> My BSD router has an AMD A6-5400K
11:35:03 <DHess_US> I have a K6-III board I would use for a router if the motherboard hadn't died.
11:36:36 <DHess_US> It has a clock and cmos memory chip with a built in lithium battery like a Dallas nvSRAM
11:36:46 <DHess_US> Battery died and no way to replace it.
11:36:57 <DHess_US> And it won't boot without it.
11:37:03 <DHess_US> Won't even post.
11:37:05 <Ampera> nice suicide battery
11:37:09 <DHess_US> Basically
11:38:49 <Ampera> Well I have 3 completely or mostly dead nForce 4 SLI 939 boards
11:39:04 <Ampera> I had a fourth one which I sent back to the person I bought it from
11:40:32 <DHess_US> Yea, all of my nForce boards died.
11:40:47 <DHess_US> I had three I think. My VIA board from that generation still works.
11:40:59 <Ampera> I have one EPoX board, which posts and boots, but has major stability issues
11:41:39 <Ampera> The machine I wanted it in now has an nForce 590 SLI board in it, which is more modern and powerful than I wanted
11:41:44 <DHess_US> I changd the capacitors on my workstation BX board. It has a slot 1 to PGA adapter and Pentium 3 1.2GHz in it.
11:41:52 <Ampera> even though it sort of fits with the age of the system a tad better (having dual 7800GTX 512s)
11:42:21 <DHess_US> Pretty good for a board that started out with a Celeron 300A overlocked to 450
11:42:33 <Ampera> mmm overclocked celerons
11:42:50 <Ampera> one of the reasons why Intel is a massive cunt of a company today
11:46:51 <DHess_US> I've been using AMD since the P4 which was my last Intel system.
11:49:19 <DHess_US> I still have my Intel P4 system. It my by the oldest box I have which will support Windows 10 so I may dust it off just for that as a spare system.
12:03:05 <DogWomble> ok after a bit of a clean and a few tweaks, i appear too have somewhat fixed up my bike's front dereilleur
12:04:27 <DogWomble> i think the fact that it was partially covered in crud and the cable adjustment being slightly out explains why i was having trouble with gear shifting this morning
12:05:38 <DHess_US> I've never seen crud matter but adjustment is critical.
12:06:57 <DogWomble> well the problem is i do some off road riding, and where i live it's an utter dustbowl, so the gears and chain tend to get coated in the stuff
12:07:24 <DogWomble> if i forget to clean it for a while, that's when i start getting issues like this :)
12:08:02 <DogWomble> the dirt builds up, and then things don't work :)
12:10:18 <EEVBlog1> New EEVBlog Tweet: Sydney almost feels like a modern city now #Metro https://t.co/Znj4fZ3Je3
12:16:15 <DHess_US> I never had such a problem biking off-road.
12:16:39 <DHess_US> I guess I did regularly clean and lubricate the chain though.

15:52:36 <Halcyon> OK ?
15:52:39 <Halcyon> I didn
15:52:44 <Halcyon> 't even know she resigned
15:53:03 <Ampera> Resigned as party lead effective June, as PM effective July, when they can replace her

15:56:35 <Halcyon> ROFL!
15:56:41 <Halcyon> Way, WAY too much information Ampera
15:56:44 <DogWomble> certainly an interesting mental image
15:57:29 <Halcyon> I can honestly say I've never done that
15:57:33 <Halcyon> Nor do I intend to
15:57:39 * Ampera gets a dinner fork
15:59:51 <Halcyon> Hahaha
15:59:53 <Halcyon> Gross
16:00:09 <DogWomble> why stop at a dinner fork? lift your game and go for a chainsaw
16:00:29 <Ampera> DogWomble, this is trying to shit, not trying to have sex
16:00:49 <Halcyon> Not sure about you Ampera, but I have no difficulties in pooping
16:01:04 <Ampera> neither do I, I just like getting my hands dirty
16:01:09 <Halcyon> ROFL
16:01:19 <Halcyon> You just won the channel
16:01:56 <DogWomble> so when you poop, you like to tinker with your sphincter with a fork to make it a thoroughly messy affair?
16:01:59 <Ampera> wasn't exactly a challenge
16:02:16 <Ampera> DogWomble, I'm a person who likes to take matters into my own hands.
16:02:21 <Ampera> and I've never used a dinner fork
16:02:40 <DogWomble> well i must admit, i only said that because i wanted to use the phrase "tinker with your sphincter"

16:03:31 <Ampera> Portable monitors look neat
16:03:40 <Ampera> if I wasn't broke I'd get one for my Surface Pro
16:04:20 <Ampera> I'd actually like to get 2-3, but I'd settle for one.
16:05:03 <DogWomble> i should actually get around to setting up this TV
16:05:44 <DogWomble> its intended purpose is to use as a third monitor for those times when i am watching something and want to still utilise my dual monitors
16:06:13 <Ampera> four monitors or gtfo
16:06:45 <DogWomble> i could possibly do that at some point, my other TV is kinda being reserved for if i ever finish off some more of my vintage PC projects
16:07:31 <Ampera> i also have a TV I intend to use as a monitor, but I intend to replace one of my monitors with it.
16:07:54 <Ampera> heck I can just do that now, I need a DVI -> HDMI cable, but I can just nick one off another box.
16:07:55 <DogWomble> yeah, well at home at least the only time i really feel like i *need* more than two is when i'm watching soemthing
16:08:36 <Ampera> I use four monitors for these purposes (unless I'm coding) HexChat WebBrowser2 WebBrowser1/Task Discord
16:08:48 <DogWomble> the TV is only a 720p unit, but given it's likely to be a bit further away that's probably not going to be as much of an issue
16:09:24 <Ampera> I'm hoping this TV is 1080p, I actually don't know.
16:09:57 <DogWomble> well this one was one i technically "won" rather than bought, so technically i didn't pay for it, so i can't really complain that it's only 720p
16:13:04 <Ampera> My dad found this TV at the side of the road
