06:04:21 <Lord_of_nothing> who is alive?
06:04:32 <DHess_US> https://i.redd.it/sribcs0lbi731.jpg
06:04:56 <Lord_of_nothing> you are italian?
06:06:38 <Lord_of_nothing> in vienna a house blow up: https://wien.orf.at/stories/3002472/
06:08:37 <DHess_US> Italian? Do I look like I have lost a war?
06:08:38 <rust_collector> that floor hanging up top there would be a bad place to wake up with a bad hangover
06:10:51 <Lord_of_nothing> you post an italian url
06:13:07 <rust_collector> I post lots of stuff from .com, wherever that is
06:52:24 <rust_collector> I wonder if I should buy at least one of those 830x cheapometers, and start making videos on youtube, with annoying muzak
07:24:04 <DHess_US> cheapometer?
07:24:32 <rust_collector> like your harbor freight "free" meters
07:24:53 <rust_collector> 830...b, I think?
07:25:38 <DHess_US> I'd like to find a replacement for my Beckman RMS225
07:25:56 <rust_collector> I mean, I need to work on my hand-tan, but other that that, I am at indian youtuber spec
07:26:42 <rust_collector> just need to find a candle and nail, for those cpu replacement how to videos
07:28:21 <DHess_US> Hmm, Wavetech. I need to add them to my multimeter spreadsheet. They inherited the Beckman RMS225 design.
07:28:49 <rust_collector> wavetech... I don't think I have heard about them
07:42:51 <DHess_US> I think they sold old
07:42:56 <DHess_US> err, sold out
07:48:29 <DHess_US> This is the meter I have except mine says Beckman Industrial. Wavetek bought them or something. http://www.ceitron.com/test/3t2-722.html
07:48:42 <DHess_US> At some point it became like this, https://www.tequipment.net/WavetekMetermanRMS225A.html
07:49:02 <DHess_US> And there used to be a whole series in a similar form factor but now I can't find them.
07:50:11 <DHess_US> "Wavetek Meterman is now Amprobe." Um, ok.
07:50:22 <DHess_US> https://www.tequipment.net/wavetek_meterman/
07:51:07 <rust_collector> says it was replaced by this: https://www.tequipment.net/Amprobe/37XR-A/Handheld-Multimeter/
07:51:20 <DHess_US> That answers that but doesn't really solve my problem because I already know Amprobe doesn't make what I want.
07:51:30 <DHess_US> Yea, that one is on my short list.
07:53:16 <DHess_US> I'd like this with RMS, 10,000 counts, and a longer battery life, https://www.bkprecision.com/products/multimeters/2706B-manual-ranging-tool-kit-dmm-with-temperature.html
07:54:39 <rust_collector> When I was looking at those the other day... they were imo pretty reasonably priced, because I think I would trust bk.
07:57:16 <DHess_US> I'd like to know if those Amprobes are really 10M input resistance. Some of them say they are but I have my doubts.
08:02:44 <rust_collector> hmm, what is logic component test? And why would they list them as 10M input if they are not?
08:05:43 <rust_collector> not that I can find anything about input resistance in the datasheet
08:15:47 <DHess_US> Input resistance is part of the DC and AC voltage specifications.
08:16:08 <DHess_US> You will have to point out where you saw "logic component test".
08:18:15 <rust_collector> on the amprobe
08:18:54 <rust_collector> I can not see the input resistance anywhere in that datasheet, and not in the voltage specs either
08:20:22 <DHess_US> Which one?
08:20:32 <DHess_US> The 37XR-A?
08:20:40 <rust_collector> yes
08:22:27 <DHess_US> Impedance is listed in the specifications given in the manual. Logic test reads back the logic voltage level as Hi or Lo.
08:22:36 <DHess_US> Like a logic probe.
08:23:19 <rust_collector> hmm
08:23:25 <DHess_US> Autoranging handheld multimeters almost always have an input impedance which changes with range which is why I am dubious.
08:23:46 <DHess_US> That's one of the things I don't like on my RMS225 or my Tektronix meter.
08:27:54 <rust_collector> oh, there I found the 10M thing on the amprobe, lol. yes, in the manual, but I could not find it in the datasheet
08:27:57 <rust_collector> oh well
08:33:44 <rust_collector> Now, I wonder. are the original arduinos more reliable than the clones... Because I have a few clones, and I think at least 5 of them has some issue
08:34:51 <rust_collector> heh, maybe the better question would be if there is a good use for an arduino (uno) without usb. Except blinking leds
08:35:49 <DHess_US> Often the support circuits are poorly designed.
08:39:12 <rust_collector> All the ones I have have the ch340 usb thingie, And I am not sure if that is a good thing or not. At least 2 of them just died, but the rest works, as I was able to replace the chip, and it was ok again. Blah, it is what I get for buying cheap crap, I guess
08:40:04 <rust_collector> but most of the things I can think of, that I would use an arduino for, needs it to talk to the computer, which makes it a bit annoying
08:40:58 <rust_collector> I should make blinking led christmas decorations out of the ones I have, so someone else can be annoyed by them

19:00:53 <Ampera> eevblog time
19:00:54 <EEVBlog> Ah shoot, Doc! We've ended up at 19:09 Sydney time.
19:00:59 <Ampera> Halcyon, you there, sir?
19:01:06 <Halcyon> I'm OK, I feel dirty
19:01:24 <Ampera> I just drunk an entire 2L soda
19:01:29 <Halcyon> Gross
19:01:31 <Ampera> and also drunk about 3L of milk today
19:01:36 <Ampera> well, yesterday
19:01:44 <Ampera> but last 14-ish hours
19:02:29 <Ampera> anyways why are you dirty, Halcyon
19:03:19 <Ampera> :/
19:03:32 <Ampera> fine then, filth and run
19:03:40 <Halcyon> I'm using an iPhone while my phone is sent away for a warranty repair
19:03:46 <Halcyon> It has been an... interesting... 12 hours
19:04:04 <Ampera> lol, millennial
19:04:17 <Ampera> I've gone weeks with forgetting to even charge my phone
19:04:27 <Ampera> probably should do that now actually, it's about to die
19:04:35 <Ampera> I use it for three things, time, camera, and flashlight
19:04:38 <Halcyon> My phone is critical for my work
19:04:40 <Halcyon> I can't not have one
19:05:13 <Ampera> I could replace my phone perfectly fine with a camera, flashlight, watch, and pocket music player
19:05:31 <Ampera> and. by doing so, have a much nicer camera, flashlight, watch, and pocket music player than I would otherwise get with a phone
19:05:36 <Halcyon> I wish life were that simple for me
19:06:20 <Ampera> in other news, my mind's been going fucking nuts
19:06:49 <Ampera> I've discovered almost a duality of my mind, I'm almost two entities working in some sort of strange unison
19:07:04 <Ampera> and very strangley I am having the disagreement of my life between the two of them
19:07:58 <Ampera> fuck I hate transgenderism, I know it's sufferer's bias, but it's truly one of the worst fates someone could have.
19:08:18 <Ampera> your mind tries to destroy itself and you with it, your life, your success, your money, your friends
19:08:32 <Ampera> you gain little besides a butchering, and a false self image you have to learn to live with
19:08:49 <Halcyon> :(
19:08:52 <Ampera> yet it drives you so incredibly close to so much mental anguish
19:09:22 <Ampera> all the while mental health professionals look at you like quick cash, thinking in their minds how many hundred dollar sessions they can squeeze out of you
19:09:43 <Ampera> community members are no better, where so many of them simply look at you as a political asset, not a person with a mind and a personal opinion
19:10:26 <Ampera> My mind fights itself every decision I try to make, in a nigh bipolar fashion, but I'm currently of a mind to fight my urges, with every bit of mental concentration.
19:11:18 <Ampera> I've engaged a segment of my mind I view as an addiction safeguard, to which, if I deem it active, I have to keep attent all times to resist with upmost strength whatever urge I can't escape, no matter how hard it is.
19:11:44 <Ampera> if you want I can unload on you in DMs so I don't clog up the channel anymore :/
19:12:00 <Ampera> well not want, more prefer
19:12:13 <Halcyon> Sure
19:30:37 * steve30 meows at halcyon and wanders off to bed
19:44:06 <Halcyon> Stupid cat :P
19:59:52 <Lord_of_nothing> re
19:59:55 <Lord_of_nothing> cats are cute
20:00:38 <Lord_of_nothing> The custom need 3 weeks for check my parcel
20:00:58 <Lord_of_nothing> the should get more people to solder some spy hardware in
20:01:41 <Lord_of_nothing> since Juni, 11 2019
20:14:31 <DHess_US> Cats looking cute is what makes them so dangerous. They look cute so they can get close before attacking.
