04:10 <Ampera> Hi Nothing\ how are you doing

15:59 <Ysjoelfir> he's probably still sedated
20:22 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera 
20:25 <Nothing\> hey man, tired
20:32 <Ampera> I saw you were up all night pretty much
20:43 <Nothing\> didn't sleep all night and i'm full of sedatives
20:48 <Nothing\> yeah
20:59 <Nothing\> actually i feel pretty alert now, just kinda foggy minded
21:20 <Nothing\> also, i now own all 19 of the original mega man games :D
21:42 <Nothing\> 1-11 and x-x8
22:30 <Nothing\> i was gonna get the mega man zero pack for the switch, but a gba game scaled to 1080p would NOT look good
22:35 <Ampera> woah
22:47 <Nothing\> i could tell just from the screen shots, everything was friggin huge
22:49 <Ampera> do you mean you own them as re-releases or the original carts
23:01 <Nothing\> re-releases
23:04 <Ampera> oh
23:11 <Ampera> well I probably have most of them in my ROM collection :P
23:22 <Ampera> never really been one for mega man though, haven't ever really played it much
23:22 <Nothing\> they released packs for mega man 1-6, then another for 7-11
23:31 <Nothing\> Ampera, not 9, 10 and 11
23:55 <Nothing\> they weren't retro, they were released on the wii and 11 on the switch
23:57 <Ampera> On the topic of that, I'm actually supposed to be getting my replacement phone controller in soon
24:04 <Nothing\> nice
24:14 <Nothing\> i couldn't imagine playing phone game without a controller
24:27 <Ampera> It's a Razer Kishi, and I'm not that impressed with the thing
24:37 <Nothing\> actually, i CAN imagine it, cuz i've tried back when snes emulation on a phone was a novel concept
24:49 <Ampera> the dpad straight up broke on me. I'm thankfully getting a new one, but if it does it again, I'll just give up on a good phone controller and buy one of those stupid clamps
24:55 <Nothing\> i remember thinking the lack of tactile feedback made it garbage
25:05 <Nothing\> what do you mean it broke?
25:11 <Ampera> it didn't work
25:14 <Nothing\> like it fell apart? snapped in half?
25:16 <Nothing\> oh
25:19 <Nothing\> huh
25:20 <Ampera> up and down were dead
25:25 <Ampera> left/right were fine
25:34 <Nothing\> so it was more than just the contacts weren't lining up or something
25:39 <Ampera> idfk
25:45 <Ampera> it's not contacts it's rubber domes
25:54 <Ampera> and quite meh ones
25:54 <Nothing\> oooh tactile domes
25:58 <Nothing\> the best switches ever
26:00 <Ampera> nope
26:03 <Nothing\> if done right
26:04 <Ampera> not tactile
26:07 <Nothing\> oh
26:11 <Ampera> actually, maybe they are contacts
26:16 <Ampera> it's been like a month since I've had the thing
26:26 <Nothing\> eh no worries
26:44 <Nothing\> man, have you seen this mario kart live thing they have no
26:45 <Nothing\> now
27:10 <Ampera> no
27:17 <Nothing\> you get an RC kart and a few markers and you can map out a course in real life through your house
27:28 <Ampera> AR?
27:34 <Nothing\> yup
27:36 <Ampera> nice
27:46 <Nothing\> and the gamepad lets you see from the POV of your kart
28:00 <Nothing\> it's a pretty neat concept, but one i don't feel will catch on
28:08 <Nothing\> for one thing, hard floors are a must
28:22 <Ampera> yeah our floors are all easy
28:27 <Nothing\> and it says you need at least 12x13 feet of area to play it
28:43 <Nothing\> our floors are all carpeted with underpadding
28:50 <Ampera> we're not that rich
29:10 <Ampera> actually, we have a lot of real wood floors, like the floor I'm sitting on right now is real wood
29:11 <Nothing\> i lived in a place with hard (concrete) floors and it was a safety hazard for not just me, but everything i owned
29:31 <Nothing\> i broke at least half a dozen ecigs dropping them from no higher than chest height onto that floor
29:37 <Nothing\> except the one i dropped 13 floors
29:49 <Nothing\> that one i didn't expect to survive under any condition
30:03 <Ampera> we have some linoleum or vinyl floors, and most of the rest is laminate boards
30:11 <Nothing\> those aren't too too hard
30:22 <Nothing\> compared to concrete
30:30 <Nothing\> they at least have a minor amount of give to them
30:33 <Ampera> the cellar is concrete
30:46 <Ampera> I can't imagine a concrete floor in an actual house
31:00 <Nothing\> yeah actually our basement is concrete
31:08 <Nothing\> and a circular path
31:14 <Ampera> our cellar floor is actually cement
31:19 <Ampera> but big difference
31:21 <Nothing\> so i guess i could set up one of them maria kart tracks in my basement
31:30 <Nothing\> but then i'd have to contend with daddy long legs
32:01 <Ampera> what's wrong with them
32:13 <Nothing\> this
32:15 <Nothing\> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNAk6oIKAjI&ab_channel=PedalingPictures
32:19 <Nothing\> nightmare fuel
32:30 <Nothing\> anyways i've gotta eat my breaky
32:35 <Nothing\> i'll talk to you later buddy
32:37 <Nothing\> take care <3
32:38 <Ampera> oh that's neat
02:53 <Nothing\> well, i musta got enough sleep passing out randomly in my chair cuz i feel semi-wide awake now
29:46 <Nothing\> huh, they made a kaizo mario world 2
30:00 * Nothing\ floods his hly sinuses with salin
30:01 <electrohead> o/
30:04 <Nothing\> *dry
30:13 <Nothing\> hey electrohead how ya doing bud?
30:23 <electrohead> eehhhhh
30:28 * electrohead awakens slowly
30:34 <Nothing\> sorry to hear that :(
30:39 <electrohead> lol
30:41 <Nothing\> hope you wake up quickly
30:57 <electrohead> I have work today, and really don't feel like going in
30:59 <Nothing\> it's okay, i didn't sleep much if at all last night
31:00 <electrohead> but, need the money
31:14 <Nothing\> yeah i've completely shut down
31:17 <electrohead> oh I slept last night. slept at least 9 or 10 hours total
31:34 <Nothing\> i had some appointments this week i cancelled
31:43 <Nothing\> jsut cuz i'm sick of appointments
32:05 <Nothing\> i told myself nothing else until the new year, except probation of course
32:29 <Nothing\> i'm just too damned stressed
32:44 <Nothing\> i need time to unwind
33:28 <electrohead> hey
33:35 <electrohead> you should, like.. go to work for me
33:48 <electrohead> I'll fix anything you need fixed
34:06 <electrohead> I'll program anything you want programmed
34:11 <electrohead> just.. go to work for me
34:13 <electrohead> lol
37:24 <Nothing\> can fou fix my chronic constipation and opioid addiction
39:57 <Nothing\> manthis is great. i'm playing mega man x2 on my switch. it's so nostalgic cuz i never did play it much on emulation.
42:10 * electrohead slaps the opiod addicition out of Nothing\
42:16 <electrohead> there, that should fix both of those things
42:18 <electrohead> ;P
44:08 <Nothing\> lol
44:11 <Nothing\> if only, huh?

42:30 <electrohead> o/
42:37 <Ysjoelfir> indeed!
42:43 <Ysjoelfir> wanted to say the same right now
42:44 <Ysjoelfir> so
42:48 <Ysjoelfir> }o
42:49 <Ysjoelfir> dammit
42:51 <Ysjoelfir> \o
43:14 <electrohead> lol, hey man
43:15 * Ysjoelfir 's smiley seems to be deaf and thus needs a funnel to his ear
43:28 * electrohead throws funnels at Ysjoelfir's smiley face
43:49 <Ysjoelfir> \}o{/
44:29 <electrohead> that looks weird hahaha
45:11 * arch robs electrohead's entire 555 timer collection
45:33 <electrohead> why? :(
45:42 <Ysjoelfir> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bznxx12Ptl0 (don't ask me why that came to my mind thinking about the smiley)
45:45 * electrohead buys more
45:47 <Ysjoelfir> :O how rude
46:01 * Ysjoelfir gifts electrohead a vintage 555 in cerdip package
46:10 <electrohead> oooo
46:14 * electrohead locks it away
47:47 <electrohead> I have a special lock box for stuff like that, too
47:57 * Ysjoelfir raves through the channel, shouting "I'm an Albatraoz!"
48:16 * electrohead cranks up kraftwerk for Ysjoelfir's rave
48:30 <Ysjoelfir> cool :D I am still a bit sad that I scrapped LOTS of old 74 series and cmos stuff
48:52 <electrohead> as in, threw it away? :o
49:16 * electrohead solders arch to the ceiling
49:26 <Ysjoelfir> yes. and I mean LOTS. like.... five drawers full of assorted ICs
49:32 <electrohead> ouch.
49:51 <rust_collector> BOOOOOOO!!!!
49:56 <electrohead> speaking of, I still need to go through my bins, pull out all known bad PCBs, and desolder all components
50:01 <electrohead> rust_collector: yo
50:11 <rust_collector> yo yo yoyo
50:22 <arch> i remember when i was a mega bum and used to salvage solder off PCBs...fun times
52:04 <electrohead> arch: it's fun to me, though. crack open a beer, sip on said beer, crank up some music, and desolder away
52:05 <electrohead> :D
52:27 <Ysjoelfir> my mum used to help my dad desolder stuff from old PCBs. back in the days where a single through hole resistor was worth being salvaged
52:33 <arch> same here, i desolder stuff for fun too. i like looking up random datasheets, passes the time
53:07 <arch> these days, i only salvage inductors and diodes starting at SMA package and larger
53:25 <electrohead> I try to salvage as much as I could, because it's nice having parts like that :P
53:54 <arch> probably would be faster if you use a propane torch on the opposite layer and scrape everything off at once using a steel ruler lol

54:31 <hsn> Hah
55:39 <arch> my life has been a lie, hsn
56:15 <hsn> Me too .. i live in singularity
57:41 <electrohead> lol
02:08 <Ysjoelfir> rofl
04:20 <hsn> Hello Ysjoelfir good day to u
04:20 <EEVBlog> Hello there, hsn!
05:34 <Ysjoelfir> hi hsn :)
05:55 <Ysjoelfir> my day is almost over, but it was... ok-ish. thanks. hope yours is good as well
06:01 <hsn> How is u with father to be feeling
10:25 <Ysjoelfir> Well... we expect it to be dead. mrs spouse started to bleed yesterday. but I still feel great, even if it doesn't work this time, it will probably next time. :)
11:29 <electrohead> ?
12:18 <Ysjoelfir> The little Ysjoelfir which lived for 2 months in her.
12:31 <electrohead> oh damn
14:03 <Ysjoelfir> nah, it was kind of forseeable that there will be not only a few but many failures. Mrs Ys suffers from PCO syndrome, so even getting her pregnant is kind of a challenge.
26:48 <electrohead> damn dude
26:51 <electrohead> *hugs*
28:52 <Ysjoelfir> \o/
28:54 * Ysjoelfir loves hugs
30:35 <electrohead> \o/
51:59 <Ysjoelfir> damn, I have to... erm... burm with a bit of vomit coming up. like four times now in maybe half an hour. thats annoying, my throat is burning >_>
55:10 Quit: Nothing\ ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
55:22 <electrohead> ehh, that's the worst
55:33 <electrohead> start chugging something? haha
56:00 <Ysjoelfir> nah. :D
56:19 <electrohead> :P
56:35 <Ysjoelfir> i wonder why thats happening. maybe the soup made from that green cauliflower thing I don't want to look the name up wasn't good anymore.
56:52 <electrohead> that may do it, haha
04:57 <arch> if i use a USB load switch, do i strictly NEED a polyfuse in series with it?
05:31 <arch> im looking at quite a few schematic dumps for IBM laptops, and i don't see any polyfuses in series
05:36 <arch> (with the load switches)
13:51 <electrohead> well it wouldn't hurt
17:08 <arch> it kinda would. that extra resistance would drop a few hundred mV at 2A load
17:40 <arch> microcontroller should be fine with 4.5V minimum, so i just might have enough headroom
18:06 <arch> the USB load switch im using is 50mOhm maximum at 85C ambient, 3A load
18:56 <arch> so i lose 0.1V just from the load switch
22:07 <arch> oh nice, only 0.03Ohm resistance for a lot of these polyfuses https://www.littelfuse.com/~/media/electronics/datasheets/resettable_ptcs/littelfuse_ptc_low_rho_datasheet.pdf.pdf
22:47 <arch> perfect, that settles it then. ill include a polyfuse
26:06 <electrohead> ahh, there we go then
26:07 <arch> fucking bullshit, $1.60 a pop
26:09 <electrohead> :p
26:16 <electrohead> eh
26:17 <arch> price gouging on next level, digikey
26:27 <electrohead> ebay to the rescue?
26:35 <arch> do you want me to burn my house down?
26:40 <arch> no ebay for critical parts
26:43 <electrohead> :P
26:59 <arch> i can get this shit from arrow for half price basically
27:02 <electrohead> yeah I feel you though, I normally use digikey or mouser for actual parts like that
27:18 <electrohead> oh?
27:40 <arch> yeah, arrow has free shipping for orders $50 or higher, and their prices are often 40% or more cheaper than digikey
28:08 <arch> the downside is, they ship from multiple warehouses around the world, so you'll get like 5 different boxes shipped on 3 different days, makes a lotta waste
28:33 <arch> and each box might literally contain 10 SOP packages and be a foot long and 2 feet wide lol
34:33 <electrohead> lol
34:38 <electrohead> well, at least it's cheaper
34:49 <electrohead> thanks for that, btw, I'll add their site to my bookmarks :D

35:55 <arch> up until last year, Arrow used to have free shipping on *ALL* items. you could literally order a 4 *cent* item like a ceramic cap, and they would 2-day Fedex ship it to you lol
36:15 <arch> i have no idea how they managed to stay in business until covid hit...

40:25 <arch> arrow's website sucks butts. it's a javascript infested mess, and everything is slow as fuck.
42:55 <Ampera> and done

43:46 * arch points Ampera to instagram to be an insta-food-hoe
44:53 <Ampera> Instagram?
44:57 <Ampera> Fuck that site
45:09 * Ysjoelfir grabs amperas beautiful plate and eats all of the equally beautiful food
45:27 <Ampera> arch, I have my own website for food
46:51 <arch> instagram should be renamed instahoe. seriously, how many respectable people are on that site, percentage wise? maybe 20%?
47:13 <arch> i have it blacklisted on my network
47:46 <arch> facebook, instagram, myspace, twitter...blacklisted.
53:37 * arch hums "Tuesday's Gone" by Metallica

52:37 * arch puts a cockroach down T3sl4's shirt
57:14 <T3sl4> cocked and loaded
05:27 <arch> spectrum analyzer recommendations $1500 and less, anyone?
06:46 <T3sl4> https://i.redd.it/g672jamp3s661.jpg
09:06 <T3sl4> arch, i got my vintage-ish 8590A for well under that
12:09 <arch> T3sl4, seems about $350 on ebay. i would have to depend on the seller's words that everything is accurate though, right?
12:27 <arch> or is there a simple way to test for myself
12:52 <arch> i do have a 5MHz AFG, and the frequency counter is on point if i use it on my scope
13:12 <T3sl4> mine isn't all that stable, i need to check the YIG osc or maybe some capacitors around there, but also the stability isn't very much from the factory? not really sure what the deal is
13:45 <T3sl4> something of that line but new enough to have a rock steady synth or PLL, that's what you want
14:03 <T3sl4> just a couple model numbers up i think, i forget which ones exactly
14:04 <arch> i mean, i guess as long as i don't see the inductive reactance going DOWN with increasing frequency, that's a good test :D
15:14 <arch> lol neat, LCD conversion: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NewScope-0Jr-LCD-kit-for-HP-8590A-8592A-Spectrum-Analyzer-with-old-style-bezel/133202328023
15:29 <arch> not sure why anyone would want that, but neat nonetheless
15:37 <arch> you can get the SA itself for $350 lol
17:38 <arch> ok i guess i should rephrase my question: what's one of the better USED spectrum analyzers i can get these days that has USB output?
17:46 <T3sl4> that's way too much for a conversion
17:50 <T3sl4> a flat display is nice tho
21:14 <T3sl4> shouldn't be hard, the CRT module is pretty standard, just feed it sync and video bits
21:45 <T3sl4> surprising i guess that they went with an FPGA, there may be LCD panels that accept that, stock
21:58 <T3sl4> though maybe not so many anymore with CRT formats being obsolete (NTSC, VGA etc)
22:11 <T3sl4> anyway, what are you trying to do, arch
22:14 <arch> im not gonna get analog and/or CRT based SA. too fking heavy and takes up too much space
22:38 <arch> i might get into some HAM radio, but for the most part, smps comp
22:45 <T3sl4> one of those stupid SDR things will do a lot of that
22:53 <arch> whats a SDR
22:56 <T3sl4> idunno which ones have SA functionality
23:30 <T3sl4> software defined radio, basically a PLL and ADC and maybe some RF mixing, all the remaining conversion and filtering is done on CPU
27:53 <electrohead> arch: you can be like me, get drunk and surf the airwaves via SDR :D
28:10 <electrohead> and, hey o/
28:12 <electrohead> just got home from work
28:22 <electrohead> s/drunk/have a few beers
30:26 <electrohead> their are SDR dongles for like, 20 or 30 bucks, cheap and fun to play woith
30:28 <electrohead> with*
30:39 <electrohead> https://www.amazon.com/NooElec-NESDR-Smart-HF-Bundle/dp/B0747PX3NZ
31:10 <electrohead> that kit comes with an upconverter, so you can receive the lower end of the spectrum
31:47 <electrohead> and I'd say, if you do decide to really get into ham radio, to hit me up on the airwaves, however I'm not much of a talker
33:58 * T3sl4 hugs electrohead drunkily
34:06 * electrohead hugs T3sl4
34:15 * electrohead offers this - https://troegs.com/beer/blizzard-of-hops/
34:38 <T3sl4> euh, hops
34:49 <electrohead> I'd offer the other kind I have, but only have one, as it was a freebie from the vendor
35:07 <electrohead> the can isn't even labeled properly, as it was given to (us) to try out
35:10 <electrohead> :D
35:24 <electrohead> the perks of working at a beer store, heh
35:46 <electrohead> I'd never thought that I'd be bringing home brand new beers to try out, as a guinea pig
35:51 <electrohead> which, not complaining :P
36:49 <T3sl4> nice deal
57:29 <T3sl4> definitely not steve30 irl https://i.redd.it/xudafxb3pt661.jpg
58:56 <electrohead> wtf, lol
27:57 <steve30> lol
28:05 <arch> https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/hack-of-sigllent-spectrum-analyzer-ssa3021x/75/
28:13 <arch> boom, sold
28:45 <T3sl4> :>
29:29 <electrohead> someone should buy me a spectrum analyzer for christmas
29:31 * electrohead looks around

36:26 <steve30> cool
36:28 <Nothing\> it's going right on my wall next to my zelda calendar and breath of the wild poster
37:05 <Nothing\> yeha they had one that was just a picture of mario at the start of 1-1 in the original SMB but i didn't feel it had as much flare as this
37:08 <Nothing\> it felt too empty
41:16 <Nothing\> urgh
41:19 <Nothing\> can't find my ecig
41:21 <Nothing\> i hate this
41:27 <Nothing\> i wish they made a lanyard for ecigs
42:04 <Nothing\> or that i could make atiny radio controlled device that i could affix to the ecig that would emit a beeping sound when activated from the computer
42:13 <Nothing\> or keyfob
14:53 <Nothing\> huh, here are some interesting etymology tidbits
15:33 <Nothing\> the adrenal glands are called so because they're next to the kidneys ie "ADjacent RENAL"
16:13 <Nothing\> or endorphin is a portmanteau of endogenous and morphine
16:58 <Nothing\> ENDogenous mORPHINe

38:44 <T3sl4> mornin chompsky
39:49 <K> Chompsky is a hyperactive, chatty, somewhat crazy, and unpredictable gnome, possibly due to being alone for so long. His chatty attitude often makes it hard for everyone to understand, except NotEnrique and Toby (to a degree). Like all gnomes, he has a short temper and a habit of turning extremely angry towards anyone, especially if someone other than him removes his hat.
39:50 <K> nice.
41:15 <T3sl4> i know him from HL2EP2 achievement fame

19:59 <Halcyon> Evening all
20:03 <steve30> hi
23:26 * Ampera hugs Halcyon 
29:08 <Kuschelpony> has anyone of you experience with hot air welding of PVC foils like pooltoys?
29:31 <T3sl4> not i, but a friend does
30:19 <Kuschelpony> im looking for ideas what can be done at home, espically for small parts
30:37 <Kuschelpony> some creative ideas
33:07 <T3sl4> far as i know, between that, and solvent welding, and refreshing the plasticizer, you can do quite well
47:58 <Kuschelpony> hmm, seems that ultrasonic is also a thing but even more expensive
48:46 <Kuschelpony> or dielectric heating, thats much closer to DIY but the matching coil appears to be an challenge
50:10 <T3sl4> and the power supply
50:47 <Kuschelpony> no, thats much easier (at least for me)
51:21 <T3sl4> a hundred watts or so at 10s of MHz?
51:55 <Kuschelpony> hmm, i thought more like 10W for a few cm of weld at one, and 13,56Mhz can be well done on something like an FQP13N10
52:13 <T3sl4> i suppose, if you're just going to do it cm by cm
52:19 <Kuschelpony> dont need to weld an lifesize dolphin in one pass
52:30 <Kuschelpony> yes thats the idea
52:41 <Kuschelpony> alternating between straight and curved parts
53:04 <Kuschelpony> hmm, unfortunately i stil ldont have an hot air soldering station so i cant try just this one
53:58 <K> meanwhile - https://artsandculture.google.com/experiment/blob-opera/AAHWrq360NcGbw?cp=e30.
56:37 <T3sl4> wow
