00:01:17 <rust_collector> ok, time to do something. maybe clean an old radio
00:02:05 Quit: Harambe ([email protected]) Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
00:31:28 <rust_collector> ok, that was a quick radio wipe-off. the kraut should be less annoyed by that thing now
01:20:15 <hsn> https://youtu.be/eM1CvBFIEFQ
01:22:14 <hsn> just watching hurt my hands
01:24:34 <rust_collector> can someone give that guy something to do?
01:24:48 <hsn> a piano?
01:25:22 <rust_collector> have you tried to do a piano?
01:26:03 <hsn> nah
01:26:20 <hsn> i only pressed it .. if u count that ..
01:27:37 <rust_collector> I bet that guy would suck at playing a piano anyway. just because

03:10:42 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
03:10:43 <Ampera> <3
03:10:50 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera <3
03:10:53 <Ampera> how are you doing fren
03:10:54 <Nothing\> hey buddy, how are you?
03:10:59 <Nothing\> i'm doing good
03:11:02 <Ampera> I'm alright
03:11:11 <Ampera> just stuffed my face with wraps
03:11:21 <Nothing\> i just had some mcdornald's fries
03:11:31 <Nothing\> i got an egg mcmuffin but, no room after fries
03:11:47 <Ampera> hahaha
03:11:51 <Ampera> yesterday I got Wendy's
03:11:59 <Ampera> two baconators, a large fry and a baconator fry
03:12:19 <Nothing\> nice, wendy's has better fries anyways
03:12:22 <Nothing\> lemme ask you something
03:12:38 <Nothing\> in the states, does every wendy's, or most of them, have a tim horton's right next to it?
03:12:48 <Ampera> I didn't even know we had tim horton's in the US
03:12:50 <Nothing\> cuz here for some reason most wendy's have a timmy's right next to it
03:12:56 <Nothing\> yeah you do
03:13:08 <Ampera> I've never seen one in my life
03:13:17 <Nothing\> they're nothing special
03:13:29 <Nothing\> it's coffee... i mean what more can you say
03:13:40 <Ampera> huh
03:13:43 <Ampera> we do have one nearby
03:13:52 <Nothing\> it's good loaded down with cream and sugar but then so is any coffee
03:13:58 <Ampera> it's inside a school campus...
03:14:07 <Nothing\> or a "triple triple" as we call it
03:14:08 <Ampera> I thought they did stuff like poutine and things
03:14:12 <Nothing\> or the standard is a double double
03:14:18 <Nothing\> nah it's mostly donuts and coffee
03:14:45 <Ampera> wouldn't a triple triple be a nonuple?
03:14:52 <Nothing\> but now they've spread to real food so like, i dunno, potato wedges, soups, sandwiches
03:14:56 <Ampera> a double double a quadruple
03:15:20 <Nothing\> lol well it refers to each ingredient so double cream double sugar
03:15:30 <Nothing\> i'd like to throw them off one time and ask for a double single
03:15:30 <Ampera> I don't drink coffee anyways
03:15:35 <Ampera> it gives me really bad nausea
03:15:36 <Nothing\> and not specify which
03:15:47 <Ampera> it's like I can't digest it right
03:15:49 <Nothing\> yeah i don't drink caffeine often cuz of my anxiety
03:15:55 <Ampera> oh no I drink caffeine
03:15:59 <Nothing\> i have bad enough anxiety without stimulants making it worse
03:16:05 <Ampera> it's coffee specifically, caffeine tabs or soda is fine
03:16:08 <Nothing\> dammit where the hell's my ecig
03:16:28 <Nothing\> even just knowing i consumed caffeine can cause me ann anxiety attack
03:16:36 <Nothing\> get stuck in those thought loops
03:16:57 * electrohead pours coffee down Nothing\'s throat
03:17:10 <Ampera> Nothing\, oh I'm gonna get a new phone some time on/after the 21st
03:17:15 <Nothing\> nice
03:17:21 <Nothing\> my mom's looking at getting a new tablet
03:17:30 <Nothing\> she was looking at a galaxy uhh... s6 i think it was
03:17:41 <Ampera> Depending on how much she wants to spend, the new Tab S7's are excellent
03:17:43 <Nothing\> but i told her taht's way more than she needs for playing mahjong and checking email
03:17:57 <Nothing\> then again
03:18:15 <Nothing\> for some reason a mahjong app needs half a gig of storage space and uses several hundred mb of memory
03:18:22 <Nothing\> so you never know with mobile shit
03:18:32 <Nothing\> such terrible efficiniency
03:18:58 <Ampera> I'm also debating getting a Galaxy Watch 3
03:19:01 <Ampera> because it looks so neat
03:19:06 <Ampera> and also so 400 dollars
03:19:14 <Nothing\> i don't really know much about mobiles
03:19:21 <Nothing\> they never appealed to me except to read on the can
03:19:27 <Ampera> I used to hate them
03:19:32 <Ampera> then I got a job as mobile app QA
03:19:34 <Nothing\> but even then i don't read much anymore on the can
03:19:53 <Ampera> now I have a bunch of money and an affinity for expensive shit
03:20:22 <Nothing\> between the $2000 computer i just bought and relapsing on pot, i have no more money
03:20:36 <Ampera> https://www.samsung.com/us/smartwatches-and-fitness-bands/galaxy-watch3/buy/
03:20:40 <Ampera> but doesn't that look so neat
03:20:45 <Nothing\> oh it's a smart watch
03:20:50 <Nothing\> what's the point of those
03:20:58 <electrohead> is it hackable?
03:21:01 <Nothing\> like, what can a smart watch do that a phone can't? that's practical
03:21:03 <Ampera> you can put notifications and various different things on it
03:21:12 <electrohead> if it's hackable and you can do neat stuff with it, then it's worth it lol
03:21:16 <Nothing\> yeah but you can do that with a phone too
03:21:18 <Ampera> electrohead, define hackable
03:21:27 <Ampera> presumably it can load arbitrary software
03:21:30 <Ampera> this isn't Apple
03:21:49 <Nothing\> lol i remember all of the arguiments i had with apple fanboys about how shitty their mobiles are
03:21:57 <electrohead> hackable, as in, able to easily modify it, either software or hardware
03:22:20 <Nothing\> "yeah but if you jailbreak it, you can download any music without itunes, and install any apps you want from bit torrent"
03:22:33 <Nothing\> "but android does that without having to jailbreak it and risk bricking it"
03:22:43 <Nothing\> "yeah but apples do it if you jailbreak them..."
03:22:53 <Ampera> you can't even jailbreak iPhones anymore
03:22:54 <Nothing\> only real arguiment i've heard in favour of iphones
03:22:58 <Nothing\> lol really
03:23:04 <Ampera> it's stupid difficult and you have to be at the exact right time to do it
03:23:07 <Ampera> and the app support is lol
03:23:16 <Nothing\> aesotunhaoseidaodeisadehinhdoetindaoehtia
03:23:23 <Nothing\> where's my pissing ecig
03:23:36 <Nothing\> i hate this, i have 2 of them, how do i lose both? lol
03:23:44 * electrohead gives one back lol
03:23:49 <electrohead> I hid the other
03:24:06 <Ampera> idk maybe I'm being dumb with the smartwatch
03:24:11 <Nothing\> i wonder why some messages on xchat now have a star in the margin
03:24:17 <Ampera> especially since I bought a PineTime and haven't touched it since I bought it
03:25:11 <Nothing\> there, found one
03:25:13 <Nothing\> man Ampera
03:25:19 <Nothing\> the case on this computer i got is crazy
03:25:27 <Nothing\> it's like, skeletonized
03:25:33 <Nothing\> as little material as possible
03:25:37 <Ampera> yeah they do some dumb shit on cases these days
03:25:43 <Ampera> they're not beige boxes anymore that's for sure
03:25:51 <Nothing\> well, you'd probably need it with something like this
03:26:02 <Nothing\> and it's got some cool RGB lighting on the case fans
03:26:09 <Ampera> my case is fairly conservative
03:26:12 <Ampera> as is my lighting, I have no RGB
03:26:16 <Nothing\> 2 fans in the front, 1 in back, 1 or 2 in the bottom
03:26:25 <Nothing\> the top vent, there's almost nothing covering at all
03:26:32 <Nothing\> god forbid something got spilled on it
03:26:47 <rust_collector> put a roof on it
03:26:49 <Ampera> Nothing\, https://www.newegg.com/fractal-design-meshify-c-white-tg-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811352087
03:26:50 <Ampera> this is my case
03:27:09 <Nothing\> it came with this weird cover, it's a much tighter grating, but i think it's just meast for shipping it's just attached with magnets like on a fridge
03:27:13 <Nothing\> know what i mean?
03:27:30 <Ampera> is it perforated?
03:27:32 <Ampera> like a mesh
03:27:35 <Nothing\> nice, that's a beaut
03:27:37 <Nothing\> yeah, it's a mesh
03:27:42 <Ampera> that's supposed to be there
03:27:44 <Ampera> it's a dust filter
03:27:48 <Nothing\> ah okay
03:27:51 <Nothing\> so i should leave it
03:27:56 <Ampera> magnets is so you can take it off easily
03:27:58 <Ampera> like I never do
03:28:01 <Nothing\> good thing i didn't throw it out
03:28:11 <Ampera> in fairness I've only had this thing for a few months
03:28:13 <Nothing\> i thought it was just protection for shipping at first
03:28:24 <Nothing\> i don't think this thing gets very hot anyways
03:28:25 <Ampera> I guess, I've sorta lost my already weak sense of time
03:28:33 <Nothing\> i've yet to hear it go full speed on the fans
03:28:33 <Ampera> things just kinda happen around me these days
03:28:42 <electrohead> Ampera: you got me looking at the pinetime specs and information about it
03:28:45 <Ampera> nah Zen 2 is a really cool arch
03:28:51 <Ampera> electrohead, it's neat for how cheap it is
03:29:01 <Ampera> but fuck am I too flawed of a human being to make any use of it
03:29:10 <Ampera> just thinking about it makes me hate myself more than I already do
03:29:17 <Nothing\> i should run some benchmarks on my computer
03:29:21 <electrohead> lmfao
03:29:23 <Nothing\> or at least prime 98
03:29:30 <Ampera> bogomips or nothing
03:29:32 <electrohead> sorry for laughing
03:29:40 <Ampera> electrohead, please laugh
03:29:42 <Ampera> it's better than crying
03:29:43 <Nothing\> Ampera, for benchmarking?
03:29:44 <electrohead> how much did you get it for?
03:29:52 <Ampera> I wanna say 25 bucks
03:30:29 <Ampera> I mean it ain't anything close to how nice the galaxy watches are
03:30:32 <Nothing\> i just realized ive left my old computer on since i got my new one
03:30:38 <Ampera> it's basically an ARM MCU with 64k of RAM
03:30:42 <Nothing\> i need some extra hdmi cables and a switcher
03:31:00 <Nothing\> 64k of ram used to be a ridiculous amount
03:31:00 <Ampera> electrohead, https://store.pine64.org/?product=pinetime-dev-kit
03:31:05 <Ampera> yeah it's 25 bucks plus shipping
03:31:10 <Ampera> it ships outta hong kong so it's a bit
03:31:33 <Ampera> Nothing\, we'll never need more than 640k anyways
03:31:38 <electrohead> damn
03:31:46 <Nothing\> Ampera, lol i was wondering if you'd catch that reference
03:31:49 <electrohead> yeah, for that price, that's worth it I'd say
03:32:25 <Nothing\> it'd be fun to take a computer with 128gb of ram to bill gates back then and see what his reaction would be
03:32:37 <electrohead> ahh, that was bill gates who said that back in the day?
03:32:44 <Nothing\> yup
03:33:11 <Nothing\> man i'm so bummed, i realized it's been a couple of months since i've done anything with electronics
03:33:15 <Nothing\> ever since i got my cats
03:33:25 <Nothing\> cuz i haven't wanted them getting into the piece
03:33:26 * electrohead sends Nothing\ an esp8266
03:33:41 <Nothing\> i'd like to do more with my arduinos
03:34:02 <Nothing\> i waited so long to get a pc so i could use my arduinos cuz the pi version of the ide sucks shit
03:34:06 <Ampera> it's been like two weeks since I've worked on my programming project
03:34:13 <Ampera> and every day that passes I hate myself more and more for not going back to it
03:34:24 <Ampera> why must I be a teenager in depression.
03:34:40 * Ampera listens to some Dion and the Belmonts
03:34:41 <Nothing\> here, try this
03:34:42 <Nothing\> https://microcorruption.com/
03:34:45 <Nothing\> it's a fun game
03:34:48 <electrohead> Nothing\: just do it from the command line; arduino-cli and arduino-builder exist :)
03:35:05 <Nothing\> you reverse engineer embedded systems to get passwords to bypass locks
03:35:13 <Ampera> buh
03:35:44 <Nothing\> the mcu they use uhh
03:35:47 <Nothing\> something 430
03:35:48 <Nothing\> i forget
03:35:50 <Nothing\> msp430?
03:36:12 <Nothing\> yeah, msp430
03:36:19 <rust_collector> I found a door lock, one of those rfid and code keys things, that had an atmel 328p in it
03:36:27 <Nothing\> which has super low quiescent power
03:37:03 <electrohead> this site is neat
03:37:12 <Nothing\> electrohead, the one i liniked?
03:37:51 <Nothing\> i've really gotten into programming based games lately, so much better than those fake hacker games of old
03:37:54 <Nothing\> remember those games?
03:37:59 <Ampera> that's neat
03:38:07 <Ampera> there was a pokemon game developed by sega and released on a sega console
03:38:14 <electrohead> heh
03:38:17 <electrohead> uplink!
03:38:21 <Nothing\> Ampera, there's a mario game for NES
03:38:24 <Nothing\> er
03:38:27 <Nothing\> sonic, not mario
03:38:28 <Ampera> no
03:38:28 <Nothing\> lol
03:38:29 <Ampera> you're joking
03:38:31 <Ampera> not mario
03:38:32 <Ampera> on the NES?
03:38:35 <electrohead> lol
03:38:37 <Nothing\> lol brain fart
03:38:41 <Ampera> yes there is, but it's a third party hack
03:38:53 <Nothing\> yeah it was made for the russian answer to the NES
03:38:54 <Ampera> this is an official licensed Nintendo IP, given to sega to develop, and released on one of their own consoles
03:38:56 <Nothing\> the Dendy
03:39:02 <Nothing\> with a creepy elephant mascot
03:39:23 <Nothing\> one of those days i'll make software for the NES
03:39:29 <Nothing\> one of these days...
03:40:08 <Nothing\> but then i also told myself i'd build (or at least design) a computer from discrete parts going down to the chip level
03:40:27 <Nothing\> Ampera, did you ever try logisim?
03:40:32 <Ampera> no
03:40:36 <Ampera> I'm not a big fan of those sorts of games
03:40:43 <Nothing\> it's not a game
03:40:46 <Ampera> oh
03:40:52 <Ampera> I think I did actually
03:40:54 <Nothing\> it's a utility for desigining digital circuits
03:41:04 <Ampera> http://www.falstad.com/circuit/e-vco.html
03:41:05 <Ampera> this?
03:41:09 <Nothing\> i know you're into digital circuits and some day hope to make a computer yourself
03:41:19 <Nothing\> so logisim's the best way you can do that
03:41:21 <Nothing\> nah nah
03:41:29 <Nothing\> though that's amazing for analog circuits
03:41:44 <Ampera> honestly I've become rather distant from EE stuff
03:41:50 <Ampera> especially since my job really has nothing to do with that
03:41:56 <Ampera> I'm trying to focus on programming more
03:41:56 <Nothing\> https://sourceforge.net/projects/circuit/
03:42:00 <Nothing\> Ampera, that
03:42:12 <Nothing\> EE is programming with hardware
03:42:26 <electrohead> I really want the pinephone, if I do buy anything from this company
03:42:33 <electrohead> <3
03:42:33 <Nothing\> you can for instance, implement an if statement in pure hardware Ampera
03:42:47 <NeroTHz> ee is programming with hardware
03:42:50 <NeroTHz> plz
03:42:50 <Ampera> electrohead, you want one?
03:42:54 <Ampera> I'll send you one :P
03:42:57 <Ampera> just pay the shipping
03:43:01 <NeroTHz> you tell me where there are ifstatements in my antennas
03:43:13 <Nothing\> like if you want an LED to turn on when a voltage reaches 5v, you can use a comparator to give a high signal whenever the other signal is higher than 5v
03:43:14 <Ampera> I have one, don't use it, and do not forsee myself using it
03:43:27 <Ampera> so if you'd get more enjoyment out of it, I'll send it on since you're so close
03:43:32 <electrohead> :O
03:43:49 <Nothing\> lol NeroTHz i meant a bit more arbitrary than that
03:43:52 <Ampera> NeroTHz, if buritto then food = hot
03:44:19 <electrohead> FPGAs are fun to play with
03:44:25 <Nothing\> there's a neat game i got where you solve puzzles using python
03:44:35 <electrohead> Ampera: if you are dead serious about that, umm... that sounds amazing, lol
03:44:40 <Ampera> dead serious
03:44:44 <Ampera> wait
03:44:46 <Nothing\> there'll be some blocks in the way and you have to sort of reverse engineer the puzzle to figure out how to get rid of the blocks
03:44:49 * Ampera checks his own pulse
03:44:53 <Ampera> yeah I'm dead and serious
03:44:57 <electrohead> lol
03:44:59 <electrohead> :p
03:45:21 <Nothing\> Ampera, i've had times where my heart rate was around 40bpm
03:45:29 <Ampera> electrohead, give me a week to get it ready, if I've forgotten by then remind me
03:45:33 <Nothing\> but since i was asymptomatic i wasn't too worried
03:45:39 <Ampera> if the shipping is cheap enough I probably won't even care about asking for it
03:45:40 <electrohead> ok, that works
03:45:43 <Ampera> it might end up being a few bucks
03:45:57 <electrohead> I can definitely get shipping, no worries
03:46:04 <Nothing\> lol i remember the first time i took propranolol for anxiety
03:46:20 <Ampera> speaking of prop
03:46:20 <Nothing\> it'd lower my heart rate to like 50bpm, which got my anxious
03:46:23 <Ampera> my isopropanol should be here soon
03:46:34 <Nothing\> which would raise my heart rate, which made me relax
03:46:38 <electrohead> damn
03:46:41 <Ampera> I bought 1900ml of it for 30 bucks
03:46:46 <Nothing\> which caused my heart rate to go back down below 50bpm
03:46:51 <Nothing\> which caused me to become anxious
03:46:55 <Nothing\> and so and and so on
03:46:56 <electrohead> that's a good price
03:47:03 <Nothing\> just stuck in that loop for like 3 hours lol
03:47:07 <Ampera> electrohead, you're on the forums right?
03:47:12 <Nothing\> that IS a good price
03:47:18 <electrohead> as of recently, yes
03:47:28 <Ampera> I'm Ampera there too, dm your address I'll send it eventually
03:47:42 <Nothing\> i forget what i paid, but i got 3 1l bottles of isoproyl alcohol
03:47:56 <electrohead> ok
03:48:01 <Nothing\> finally the shortage is over
03:48:12 <Nothing\> sucked not being able to wash my glasses
03:48:21 <electrohead> and I'm a bit lucky, there is an electronics shop three blocks away from me, heh
03:48:30 <Nothing\> electrohead, your name reminds me of gearhead of rick and morty
03:48:37 <electrohead> half the prices are through the roof, but if I need parts that bad, it's right there
03:48:40 <Nothing\> which i've been watching more than i probably should be lately
03:48:44 <electrohead> Nothing\: lol
03:49:18 <Nothing\> "there's a whole race of gear people! Calling my gearhead is like calling a Chinese person Asia-Face!"
03:51:04 <Nothing\> Ampera, https://www.cybertronpc.com/clx/kits/gmset0000001mk/configure
03:51:09 <Nothing\> there's the case i got
03:51:18 <Nothing\> i love how you access the side pannel
03:51:20 <Nothing\> panel
03:51:31 <electrohead> lmao..
03:51:52 <Nothing\> there are just 2 panel screws you can unscrew without a screwdriver and it just swings open like a stereo shelf
03:52:11 <electrohead> my nick is more of 'electronics' and gear head/machine head, etc, I guess
03:52:22 <electrohead> just more of a random nick I thought of, and it stuck
03:52:33 <Nothing\> you know, i should really put my harddrive from my old computer in this one
03:52:41 <Nothing\> but my old computer used laptop harddrives
03:52:50 <Nothing\> electrohead, it's very apropos
03:53:07 <Nothing\> in fact, i'll take the hd out of it right now since i have it turned off
03:53:13 <electrohead> :p
03:53:39 <electrohead> I've had people ask me if I listened to combichrist, which.. I then found out about that band
03:53:49 <electrohead> (they have a song called 'electrohead')
03:54:21 <electrohead> and, thanks for this site
03:54:24 * electrohead saves it
03:56:03 <Ampera> Nothing\, doesn't look particularly skeletonized
03:56:07 <Ampera> but looks neat I suppose
03:56:08 <Nothing\> well, that's nice... i guess
03:56:23 <Nothing\> Ampera, the front isn't but the top and back very much are
03:56:36 <Nothing\> lol my cat's chewing on the front panel from my old computer
03:57:42 <rust_collector> I wonder if I should try to get tickets for Van der Graaf Generator... that could be interesting
03:59:14 <electrohead> we should all pitch funds together and make one person create a giant generator
03:59:25 <Nothing\> alrighty gonna try to put this other hdd in my new computer
03:59:28 <Nothing\> bbiab
03:59:41 <Nothing\> actually screw't
03:59:46 <Nothing\> i'll do that later
04:00:00 <Nothing\> and yeah, i invented a new contraction; screw't
04:00:20 <electrohead> we be screw't!
04:00:22 <electrohead> :p
04:00:58 <Nothing\> le sigh
04:01:02 <Nothing\> what to do
04:01:20 <rust_collector> put that drive in, it takes almost 2 minutes
04:01:27 <Nothing\> castle in the darkness, that was a good game
04:01:31 <Nothing\> very underrated
04:01:38 <Nothing\> rust_collector, yah yah i know
04:01:49 <Nothing\> i need an excuse to turn the computer off though
04:01:58 <rust_collector> that would be 2 minutes less to wonder what to do
04:02:17 <Nothing\> true enough
04:02:21 <electrohead> 'up time'
04:02:31 <Nothing\> i wonder, if i had a game instealled on OS
04:02:40 <Nothing\> then i moved that drive to another computer
04:02:58 <Nothing\> would it retain my saved games? or does that depend from one game to the next?
04:03:14 <Nothing\> or would there be issues even running the game
04:03:56 <rust_collector> I guess all your files are on that drive? if the os works, I guess it should work, after you sort the drivers?
04:04:06 <Nothing\> oh hey my jail sentence is almost aver
04:04:19 <rust_collector> sure, bu tyou are cheating, lol
04:04:30 <Nothing\> rust_collector, but i wouldn't be running that OS on the new computer
04:04:34 <Nothing\> i'd just be using the drive
04:04:53 <Nothing\> completely new OS, new format
04:04:56 <Nothing\> new FS
04:05:06 <rust_collector> ok, well, I have no idea.
04:05:14 <Nothing\> guess i'll find out
04:05:26 <Nothing\> at least i have a list of games to get if they don't work
04:05:46 <Nothing\> i think i'm gonna commandeer my mom's coffee grinder for my weed
04:05:58 <electrohead> :O
04:06:06 <electrohead> that may ruin the coffee grinder, lol
04:07:53 <Nothing\> yeah it will
04:08:07 <Nothing\> but it's just a cheapo $20 thing and she hasn't used it in like 5 years
04:08:22 <rust_collector> then it will last forever
04:09:22 <Nothing\> as we all shall!
04:09:31 <electrohead> hahaha
04:09:35 <rust_collector> oh no
04:13:47 Quit: Watcher ([email protected]) Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
04:17:55 <electrohead> alright, so I found a usb cable long enough for a small project I just finished up recently, so that I can have serial access to it, plus power... well, I go to access said device in question, and nothing on ttyUSB0
04:18:16 <electrohead> here, the cable I found, doesn't have the fucking data wires connected
04:18:17 <electrohead> >:O
04:18:48 <electrohead> seriously, what's the point of have a USB cable, with micro connector, clearly you can see all pins in the connector, yet not fully wired for comms?
04:18:50 <electrohead> only power
04:18:54 <electrohead> that's it. =\
04:19:05 <electrohead> /rant 0
04:20:14 <rust_collector> that can be handy, as long as you know it is a charging cable
04:21:38 <electrohead> yeah I can see that, but normally I see USB cables as both power and data, hence the 'USB' in the name :P
04:22:16 <electrohead> just pissed me off a bit at first becase I took the time to mount the cable
04:33:45 <electrohead> https://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/EZ430-Chronos
04:34:01 <electrohead> in the past, I thought about the chronos watch from TI, seems fun the play with
04:35:04 <Nothing\> what's a good utility for listing CPU, GPU etc temps?
04:35:44 <Nothing\> also something like cpu-z that shows info about your cpu and/or gpu like memory, memorpy speed, stuff like that
04:36:00 <Nothing\> but preferably more details
04:36:41 <rust_collector> who made your mb?
04:38:47 <Ampera> Nothing\, MSI Afterburner is popular
04:41:07 <Nothing\> i'll give that a try Ampera
04:41:53 <Nothing\> mb was made by....
04:42:33 <Nothing\> huh, dxdiag won't say
04:48:24 <Ampera> Nothing\, it'd be in CPU-Z
05:09:46 Quit: Nothing\ ([email protected]) Quit: Leaving
05:13:17 <rust_collector> hmm, new old drive should be in by now...
05:19:19 <electrohead> they stole it
05:19:25 <electrohead> we must find them
05:19:57 <rust_collector> and deal with them in ydraulik presss
05:27:03 <electrohead> lol

22:32:29 <Mom> Einstein didn't kill himself.
22:32:45 Quit: Mom ([email protected]) Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
22:45:58 <electrohead> lol
22:46:00 <electrohead> o/
22:55:32 <NeroTHz> I wasn´t aware that Einstein was ever being accused of killing himself
22:55:51 <T3sl4> i guess the ban on our resident troll expired again
22:55:53 <T3sl4> Halcyon
22:56:34 <NeroTHz> I mean, the man died of internal bleeding due to an aneurysm, pretty damn hard to make that happen on purpose to off yourself, even if you are one of the brightests minds in physics in history
22:58:53 <NeroTHz> Did you know that Eintsteins only nobel prize was not for either of his relativity theories, but instead was for his work on the photoelectric effect
22:59:43 <T3sl4> NeroTHz: you're putting way too much emphasis on this
23:00:02 <NeroTHz> lol sorry I´ll shut up
23:00:28 <T3sl4> 1. the meme is Epstein, 2. it's made trolly and offensive by substituting Einstein, 3. they aren't even here and 4. because they're trolls, it's not like you can correct them even if they were
23:01:09 <T3sl4> and yep, they just had to find something to credit him for, i don't remember the specifics of why they chose his photoelectric work over others
23:01:13 <NeroTHz> I honestly didn´t realize this was a replacement for Epstein. Not being from the US myself, it´s a far less ´big deal´ here and most people won´t even think baout it if it were.
23:01:28 <NeroTHz> hence my confusion
23:02:41 <NeroTHz> but whatever
23:04:43 <T3sl4> shrug
23:05:14 <T3sl4> i'm sure eu leaders are just as involved in his mess, just less out-in-the-open about it than ours have been :/
23:05:34 <NeroTHz> I rather meant the media and pop culture
23:06:10 <T3sl4> same sort of thing
23:09:10 <T3sl4> if they were more infamous, the media and pop culture would have more representation of it
