00:16:04 <T3sl4> yes indeed
00:16:37 <T3sl4> you might wish to reevaluate your authoritarian worldviews, upon seeing that everyone is, in fact, out to screw you, including those authorities who proclaim they know what is right for you :)

01:24:18 <SATNATALES> hi
01:24:38 <SATNATALES> someone sell a DMM maybe 34461A ?
01:24:42 <SATNATALES> or something
01:25:38 <SATNATALES> i need a DMM of 6 1/2 digit
01:26:48 <Ysjoelfir> What are you willing to spend?
01:26:52 <Ysjoelfir> also, hi K
01:28:17 <SATNATALES> omg, mmmmm maybe 400 USD
01:29:32 <Ysjoelfir> https://www.ebay.de/itm/HP-Agilent-34401A-Digital-Multimeter-6-Digit/273594681330?epid=710140765&hash=item3fb38387f2:g:zAgAAOSwsuNbq05q
01:31:38 <SATNATALES> i'm from america
01:33:47 <Ysjoelfir> So?
01:35:15 <SATNATALES> very expensive 4 me
01:35:25 <SATNATALES> thx
01:35:47 <K> lab grade gear is not cheap
01:36:07 <Ysjoelfir> exactly. I don't think that 490 is exceptionally expensive for a 34401a
01:38:45 <SATNATALES> i know, the 34470 in keysight is 3500 USD so so

01:39:26 <SATNATALES> i want a DMM for calibrate my own multimeters
01:40:04 <K> what you need is a voltage reference
01:40:07 Join: steve30 ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
01:40:21 <SATNATALES> K yes, is correct
01:40:22 <K> that will be less expensive
01:40:58 <SATNATALES> what r u recommend me ?
01:44:44 <SATNATALES> i have a handheld osciloscope
01:44:55 <Ysjoelfir> that won't be of any use for what you intend to do
01:45:00 <SATNATALES> and a handheld multimeter
01:45:01 <Ysjoelfir> you need a voltage reference for that
01:46:05 <SATNATALES> What instrument do I have to buy to have a reference voltage?
01:48:18 <Ysjoelfir> A Voltage Reference.
01:48:38 <Ysjoelfir> Or a Calibrator if you want it to be fancy
01:49:27 <SATNATALES> I need to know if my measuring equipment is correct
01:49:53 <Ysjoelfir> Why do you need that? What critical measurement are you going to do?
01:50:00 <SATNATALES> my oscilloscope and my multimeters
01:50:10 <Ysjoelfir> What are the accuracy specs you need to achieve?
01:50:54 <SATNATALES> I need to know that exactly to make reports
01:51:15 <K> i got something like this a while ago - https://www.ebay.de/itm/AD584kH-4-Channel-2-5v-7-5v-5v-10v-High-Precision-Voltage-Reference-Module/251744627382?hash=item3a9d262ab6:g:mW0AAOSwjn9ZksP9
01:51:21 <Ysjoelfir> you can't. there is no such thing as exactly because we are suffering from a Thing thats called reality.
01:51:35 <SATNATALES> en orden de los m
01:51:37 <K> with AD588 instead though
01:51:42 <SATNATALES> in order of m
01:52:07 <Ysjoelfir> I have some of the AD584s as well, neat little things, but they can be bad depending on the one you get.
01:52:12 <K> oscilloscope is not a measurement instrument
01:52:24 <K> it is visualisation tool
01:52:35 <Ysjoelfir> exactly what K says. also, I don't understand what you mean, SATNATALES. "in order of m" is not a accuracy specification
01:53:13 <K> get a voltage reference module, run it from batteries, all will be good.
01:53:48 <Ysjoelfir> probably yes, at least if you don't intend to do some high precision metrology grade stuff.
01:55:27 <SATNATALES> yes
01:55:32 <SATNATALES> w8
01:55:38 <Ysjoelfir> eh?
02:01:42 <SATNATALES> thank you very much i didn't know i needed a voltage reference
02:03:07 <Ysjoelfir> I noticed that
02:03:22 <SATNATALES> I had a unit ut61E handheld multimeter, but it was stolen, which one do you recommend?
02:03:47 <Ysjoelfir> You still didn't tell us what you want to do and how accurate you want to be, so we can't realy suggest anything sensible imho
02:04:37 <Ysjoelfir> who would steal a UT61e? Oo And why?
02:04:54 <Ysjoelfir> If that was the reference you would probably be fine with every midrange meter
02:05:08 <SATNATALES> I want to measure voltages and currents in order of the mV mA
02:05:45 <Ysjoelfir> still no accuracy spec, so I suggest that basically every meter will suit you. think about a Aneng AN8008
02:06:21 Join: coppice ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
02:06:48 <SATNATALES> I do field measurements on the boats
02:07:27 <Ysjoelfir> So you pretty much don't need any accuracy at all
02:09:10 Join: pa1983 ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
02:11:01 <SATNATALES> They had asked me to put in my reports with which instrument the multimeter was calibrated
02:12:09 <Ysjoelfir> Then get a calibrated cheapo meter and write down the one the manufacturer used and you're golden
02:12:18 <SATNATALES> later I need to measure switching sources but I don't know how or what instruments I need to do it
02:12:51 <Ysjoelfir> That depends highly on the measurement you need to do
02:13:33 <SATNATALES> in my country the calibration certificates are very expensive more than 2 multimeters mentioned above
02:15:23 <Ysjoelfir> That might be because proper certified calibration is not cheap. I don't know which part of the small continent you live in, but at least in the US I doubt that a self cal would be acceptable, if your calibration is not traceable
02:17:43 <SATNATALES> Generally, the switched power supplies have a supply voltage of 24VDC to 28VDC or 12VDC to 13.8VDC and their outputs vary greatly in voltage. I need to measure sensors of three-phase generator motors (inductive capacitive temperature pressure etc ...)
02:19:44 <SATNATALES> You recommend that I send the aneng multimeter to calibrate for example and obtain the calibration certificate and with that same attach the calibration certificate to the report, right?
02:22:00 <Ysjoelfir> for example, yes. though I doubt that any reputable cal lab will calibrate a cheapo multimeter. The problem with calibration is, that it needs to be traceable, otherwise its worth only the paper its written onto. I for myself can calibrate stuff, but I can't provice a traceable calibration, so I can't provice an ensurance that the values I use for calibration are reliable - so the whole calibration is nonsense. If I need a traceable cal I
02:22:00 <Ysjoelfir> would have to send the instrument away.
02:25:24 <Ysjoelfir> Actually I notice, I COULD make a traceable calibration for my stuff, as I have a calibrated instrument which is pretty precise. I could use that to cal some other instruments of mine, that are less precise. I should do that before the calibration expires
02:25:38 <K> but are you certified to do the cal?
02:25:51 <Ysjoelfir> No. Absolutely not.
02:26:14 <Ysjoelfir> I could only do that for myself obviously, not for a customer
02:26:18 <K> yea
02:27:26 <K> im afraid there are no quick-n-cheap ways round official, traceable cal certification
02:27:27 Join: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
02:28:04 <SATNATALES> Yes, you need to be certified by the certifying body of your country according to iso / iec 17025 with internal traceability and externally calibrated standard instruments
02:28:05 <Ysjoelfir> nope, sadly not. only if you work in a lab that is certified to do calibrations and are allowed to use the cal stuff in your lunchbreak.
02:28:25 <Ysjoelfir> yep, exactly that.
02:28:47 <K> problem is that your need to provide paperwork, probably generated (or at least recognized) by your local calibration services
02:28:47 <SATNATALES> I left that job
02:29:13 <SATNATALES> yep
02:29:20 <Ysjoelfir> yep yep
02:29:37 <K> buying stuff from ebay does not solve anything here
02:29:52 <SATNATALES> right
02:30:32 <Ysjoelfir> indeed
02:30:38 <SATNATALES> the problem as the friend says is that a certification laboratory is not going to calibrate an aneng for example it should be a sanwa a fluke something like that
02:31:52 <SATNATALES> I think that to make it as economical and viable as possible I have to contact the calibration laboratory of my country and ask what brands they are accepting to grant calibration certificates
02:32:21 <K> yes
02:32:46 <Ysjoelfir> if you pay them enough they probably would cal anything. but if you have to do that I would go the extra route and grab a quality piece of equipment that ensures me that the calibration won't be off after shipping it back. So yes, thats the way you should go.
02:34:52 <SATNATALES> In your case, what are the brands of handheld multimeters that can calibrate your countries? or some average brand of reliable multimeters
02:36:23 <Ysjoelfir> https://www.ptb.de/cms/fileadmin/internet/fachabteilungen/abteilung_2/QMH_A2_KAP_31_V16_2019_web_en.pdf
02:47:55 <SATNATALES> What multimeter do you recommend with a budget of 100 dollars
02:50:02 <Ysjoelfir> Calibrated? None.
02:50:40 <SATNATALES> make it the most accurate in that price range
02:51:07 <Ysjoelfir> you know the EEVBlog?
02:51:32 <Ysjoelfir> they have a DMM comparison chart there, somewhere. Take a look at that.
02:51:37 <SATNATALES> yes
02:52:13 <SATNATALES> I saw it
02:52:19 <Ysjoelfir> great!
02:52:24 <Ysjoelfir> then you're all set
02:56:05 <K> i would also suggest you post on forum, maybe we've missed something, but if you post, please provide as much background as you can, two sentences probably wont be enough

03:01:40 <Ysjoelfir> wait, lemme copy
03:01:48 <Ysjoelfir> I would like to know the approximate cost to develop the layout of a single layer PCI. It is a very simple project !! It is a controller for DC motor. I have an oscillator based on the CI 555 and a power stage !! The plate will measure 150X200mm !! Can you give me a cost idea so I can analyze the project's feasibility? I need the files to make a PCI!!
03:01:48 <Ysjoelfir> Thanks
03:02:15 <K> PCI -> PCB
03:02:35 <Ysjoelfir> oh
03:02:39 <Ysjoelfir> now it makes sense

04:08:23 * electrohead waves
04:08:41 * Ampera hugs electrohead
04:08:46 <Ampera> is it fucking cold down there?
04:08:52 <electrohead> yeah man, it's fucking cold here
04:08:59 <Ampera> we have a high of 14 and a low of 0 here
04:09:23 <Ampera> not the coldest it's ever been, I've seen -20 a couple times here
04:09:24 <electrohead> I had to return the cat I got from the shelter, today
04:09:26 <electrohead> :(
04:09:30 <Ysjoelfir> y
04:09:30 <Ampera> oh shit, what happened
04:09:55 <electrohead> he was pissing everywhere, and yesterday he pissed back in my lab area, just a few feet away from my server(s)
04:09:57 <electrohead> >.<
04:10:05 <electrohead> I tried so hard with him
04:10:18 <electrohead> but, I'm in an apartment, and can't have a cat ruined my place
04:10:20 <electrohead> :/
04:10:23 <Ampera> quite strange
04:10:27 <electrohead> sad panda is sad.
04:10:34 <Ampera> they usually do that when they're incredibly uncomfortable about their surroundings
04:10:37 <Ampera> do you have any other pets?
04:10:43 <electrohead> yeah, one other cat
04:10:50 <Ampera> how well did they interact
04:10:55 <electrohead> and she was the one hissing at him, yet he tried to make friends with her
04:11:02 <Ampera> yeah that's probably why
04:11:08 <Ampera> some cats just don't deal with other cats full stop
04:11:24 <electrohead> she was in a complete different room though, when he decided to trot back to the lab and piss on the carpet >.<
04:11:34 <Ampera> doesn't matter, cats are weird like that
04:11:41 <Ampera> claiming territory and what not
04:11:51 <Ampera> in which case, as sad as it is, returning the cat to the shelter is among the better options
04:11:52 <electrohead> yeah, that was my first experience with that
04:12:03 <electrohead> they weren't too happy at the shelter
04:12:08 <Ampera> We have three cats, bought about a couple years from each other
04:12:24 <Ampera> we basically just lobbed them together and they've been miraculously good with each other
04:12:59 <electrohead> I'm going to miss him, other than him pissing everywhere, he was an awesome cat. he slept with me and everything
05:03:59 * Ysjoelfir offers his catter as compensation.
05:04:51 <Ysjoelfir> You know, the one that wakes you up at 5 in the morning after you went to bed at 2:30, just to... well, just to know you're awake and not in that closed sleeping room he isn't allowed to enter

05:29:00 <steve30> Power cut again
05:29:30 <TheDude> sooooo
05:30:00 <TheDude> have y'all been reading about stuff around gamestop stock? :D
05:38:40 * steve30 has no idea what Gamestop is
05:39:20 <TheDude> it's a chain of stores that sell computer/console games and related products
05:39:47 <TheDude> their business has been dwindling lately, because of how popular online game stores like Steam have become
05:40:10 <TheDude> and on the stock market, big investment funds have been shorting their stock into oblivion
05:40:36 <TheDude> and a bunch of people decided to squeeze them out
05:41:03 <TheDude> a massive school of tiny fish decided to eat a whale, essentially
05:41:28 <TheDude> and they were very successful in doing so, because the stock that was worth $2.70 or so half a year ago
05:41:41 <TheDude> has been pumped up to over $400
05:41:53 Quit: form ([email protected]) Quit: ZNC 1.8.1 - https://znc.in
05:42:58 <TheDude> and that caused the investment funds to lose billions
05:43:42 <TheDude> and the cunts decided to fight back by forcing the company that runs the popular investing app that allows you to buy partial shares to disable buying of GME stock
05:44:05 <TheDude> and forcefully liquidate people's positions just after the funds put new shorts into place
05:44:32 <TheDude> if this shit doesn't land a number of people into jail, I don't know what will
05:46:58 <Ampera> gamestop isn't going under because of steam
05:47:03 <Ampera> gamestop is going under because they're fucking assholes
05:47:35 <Ampera> however you are very late on that news, we've been talking about it for a couple days or so
05:47:41 <TheDude> one of the reasons why they're losing so much market share is definitely because buying games on the internet and downloading them directly is MUCH more convenient
05:47:52 <TheDude> Ampera, nope
05:47:56 <TheDude> the first part, yes
05:48:06 <Ampera> wha
05:48:15 <Ampera> we have been talking about it for a couple days though...
05:48:21 <TheDude> robinhood disabling the buy option for GME and other WSB stocks is new
05:48:30 <Ampera> that happened yesterday
05:48:32 <TheDude> yes
05:48:40 <Ampera> >couple days, today and yesterday
05:49:02 <TheDude> "hurr durr, that was yesterday's news, we already discussed that, can't talk about it now"
05:49:24 <Ampera> I don't make the rules, merely bash people over the head with them
05:50:39 <TheDude> what is more interesting is the fact that many people just now realized just how much power the little fish has in the market
05:51:32 <TheDude> and how very fucking crooked the existing financial system is
05:51:47 <TheDude> this is literally history in the making
05:52:00 <TheDude> the will be writing books about current events in a couple of decades, I guarantee it
05:52:14 <Ampera> that's usually how history works
05:52:41 <TheDude> let me enjoy the moment, you little shit
05:53:11 <Ampera> did you have any pre-hike stock in GME?
05:53:27 <TheDude> nah, I don't have robinhood
05:53:32 <Ampera> ...
05:53:39 <Ampera> you don't need robinhood to trade stock
05:53:48 <Ampera> they're one broker among dozens
05:53:59 <TheDude> no, but among the options that were possible, it was one of the cheapest
05:54:13 <Ampera> what does that have to do with having GME stock
05:54:21 <TheDude> stock brokers in general are the middle men we don't need
05:54:38 <Ampera> then why did you mention one at all
05:55:02 <TheDude> because you need one to buy stock as an individual here
05:55:23 <Ampera> you need one to buy stock as an individual here as well, to the best of my knowledge
05:55:35 <Ampera> unless you somehow get a line into the stock exchange itself
05:55:43 <coppice> TheDude: trading on robbing hood is free, because you are not the customer
05:56:21 <TheDude> yup, makes sense
05:56:53 <TheDude> I look forward to seeing how the class action lawsuit is going to unfold in the near future
05:59:35 <TheDude> on a completely unrelated topic
05:59:47 <TheDude> I bought a USB 3.0 microSD card reader today
06:00:13 <TheDude> so I can put the zynq shit directly onto the card from the computer that's doing the compiling
06:00:29 <steve30> ooh, I could probably do with a USB 3 card reader
06:01:33 <TheDude> because until now, the process went like this: create the files, archive them, put into shared folder of VM, move from host machine shared folder to dropbox, put the SD card into the laptop and copy from the dropbox folder and unzip onto the card
06:01:44 <TheDude> incredibly tedious
06:02:06 <TheDude> anyhow, I'm rather pleased with how the USB device can be directly passed to the VM
06:02:30 <TheDude> zero hassle, the mass storage device just disappears on the host machine when you start the VM
06:02:32 <TheDude> and it's there
06:02:43 <TheDude> zero fuss

06:55:32 <c0rnbr34d> how so?
06:55:44 <Ampera> because, being 19, most everyone else is older than I am in here
06:55:53 <c0rnbr34d> :)
06:55:55 <Ampera> and to know that there are now people younger than me is annoying
06:56:08 <c0rnbr34d> sorry bub
06:56:22 <c0rnbr34d> are you in school?
06:56:37 <Ampera> thank fuck no
06:56:43 <c0rnbr34d> good
06:57:01 <c0rnbr34d> are you going into EE? or just a hobbiest?
06:57:07 <Ampera> neither
06:57:11 <Ampera> I don't know anything about electronics
06:57:14 <c0rnbr34d> why are you here?
06:57:21 <Ampera> nobody's told me to leave yet
06:57:24 <c0rnbr34d> kek
06:57:25 <c0rnbr34d> alright
06:57:30 <Ysjoelfir> Ampera, please leave
06:57:31 <c0rnbr34d> how did you end up here?
06:57:45 <Ampera> well
06:57:48 <Ampera> I joined the channel
06:57:51 <Ampera> and uh
06:57:55 <Ampera> that's how I ended up here
06:58:15 <c0rnbr34d> evvblog is not small... but its not yt recommened front page
06:58:25 <c0rnbr34d> I found daves videos through search results
06:58:35 <c0rnbr34d> what exactly were you searching for?
06:58:40 <Ampera> I found him the way I find most channels, video reccomendations
06:58:42 <Ampera> years ago
06:58:45 <Ampera> probably five years ago or so
06:58:49 <c0rnbr34d> intresting
06:58:57 <c0rnbr34d> have you been lurking here for 5 years?
06:59:04 <Ampera> no
06:59:09 <Ampera> I joined the forum first
06:59:23 <Ampera> then some asshole decided there weren't enough assholes in the old AfterNET channel, and invited me
06:59:30 <TheDude> Ampera, how's it going, old timer?
06:59:33 <Ampera> then some boogaloo happened and this channel was formed
06:59:39 <Ampera> TheDude, fine, grandpa
06:59:53 <c0rnbr34d> ic
07:00:56 <Ampera> I'm in computing, software development and QA
07:01:02 <c0rnbr34d> havent been on the form at all, is the a toslink hate thread somewhere
07:01:09 <c0rnbr34d> software QA I take it?
07:01:24 <Ampera> yes, the and included software
07:02:04 <c0rnbr34d> I did hardware QA at my last job, made a lot of ECOs that got ignored. Hows the software side of things?
07:02:27 <Ampera> I get to write tests for software with no written specifications
07:02:42 <Ampera> so I basically get to make shit up as I go along and pretend it's the way it's supposed to be, then complain that it's not the way it's supposed to be
07:02:54 <c0rnbr34d> nice
07:03:03 <TheDude> I get to explain elementary school level physics to an indian bloke today
07:03:11 <TheDude> he calls himself an engineer
07:03:19 <c0rnbr34d> what programing/scripting languages do you work with?
07:03:19 <TheDude> got*
07:03:25 <c0rnbr34d> software eng I imagine?
07:03:44 <Ampera> For work? C# almost exclusively. In general, I've worked with Java and C as well
07:03:50 <TheDude> mechanical, possibly, idk
07:04:03 <c0rnbr34d> jezz
07:04:10 <c0rnbr34d> what did you have to explain>?
07:04:35 <TheDude> so we're the supplier of an electric drive system for this indian company that wants to make electric scooters
07:04:45 <TheDude> and we're doing a custom system for them
07:04:54 <TheDude> and we implemented hill hold
07:05:17 <c0rnbr34d> okay
07:05:24 <TheDude> and one of the CAN messages that they're supposed to be sending us from the VCU is the slope angle
07:05:32 <c0rnbr34d> VCU?
07:05:37 <TheDude> vehicle control unit
07:05:52 <c0rnbr34d> ah
07:06:01 <TheDude> the computer box with the display and whatnot
07:06:05 <c0rnbr34d> sure
07:06:16 <TheDude> it communicates with out motor controller through CAN
07:06:26 <c0rnbr34d> okay
07:06:35 <TheDude> anyhow, they're supposed to be sending us the slope angle in regular messages over CAN
07:06:53 <c0rnbr34d> the indian guy didnt understand this?
07:06:57 <TheDude> the hill hold works even with those messages just sending out zeros instead of the correct angle
07:07:04 <TheDude> but the user experience suffers
07:07:15 <c0rnbr34d> that makes sense
07:07:22 <TheDude> because when HH is engaged, the vehicle creeps back slightly initially
07:07:49 <TheDude> if you know the angle, you can preset the initial torque to the regulator that's doing the holding
07:08:04 <TheDude> so you get very little to no creep back when it engages
07:08:07 <c0rnbr34d> dosent this vary bassed on passanger weight?
07:08:13 <TheDude> it does
07:08:23 <c0rnbr34d> but its a closer aprox I assume
07:08:23 <TheDude> we prime it for minimum vehicle load
07:08:32 <c0rnbr34d> okay
07:08:50 <TheDude> that way you don't get weird results even with next to nothing on the bike
07:09:08 <TheDude> but the regulator ramps up the torque pretty quickly after it starts working
07:09:18 <c0rnbr34d> that makes sense
07:09:23 <TheDude> it's just that if it starts from zero, it takes a bit to wind up the torque and get it to stop
07:09:28 <TheDude> okay
07:09:39 <c0rnbr34d> so your job is to make sure it works if theres no slope data?
07:09:50 <TheDude> so he said that they were testing the functionality and were not sure how to compare the difference between reporting the angle and not doing it
07:09:56 <TheDude> and if we could clarify that for them
07:10:10 <TheDude> I wrote a test case which gave a clear comparison for the two
07:10:24 <TheDude> with maximum permitted load, and a 15% incline
07:10:48 <TheDude> so basically the edge case which would yield the biggest results
07:11:07 <c0rnbr34d> the case with the highest load?
07:11:17 <TheDude> yeah
07:11:34 <c0rnbr34d> the eng did not undestand this?
07:11:46 <TheDude> okay, so with their thingamajig reporting the right value, the result was a creep back of 16mm
07:12:02 <TheDude> basically imperceptible to the rider, imo
07:12:14 <TheDude> with no angle reported, the result was 131mm
07:12:34 <TheDude> something that would likely make you second guess if the hill hold is actually working
07:12:40 <TheDude> so
07:12:44 <TheDude> the next question was
07:13:10 <TheDude> "is there a relation between the creep back, inclination angle and weight?"
07:13:24 <TheDude> this, coming from an engineer
07:13:27 <TheDude> what the everloving fuck
07:13:47 <c0rnbr34d> thats unfortanate
07:14:23 <c0rnbr34d> maybe he thought the motor could be locked and didnt realise you were countertorquing?
07:14:34 <TheDude> it took an immense amount of self restraint not to reply in a patronizing manner
07:14:42 <c0rnbr34d> like with a brushless motor how you can hold the rotor in place
07:14:53 <TheDude> no, he couldn't have thought that
07:15:05 <c0rnbr34d> is he stupid?
07:15:06 <TheDude> we've been working on this project with them for over a year now
07:15:07 <TheDude> yes
07:15:12 <c0rnbr34d> lol
07:15:30 <c0rnbr34d> guess the bars not that high...
07:15:35 <c0rnbr34d> is this in the US?
07:15:38 <TheDude> it certainly isn't
07:15:40 <TheDude> no
07:15:45 <c0rnbr34d> where are you?
07:15:50 <TheDude> we're in europe, they're indian
07:15:54 <c0rnbr34d> *generally ofc*
07:15:57 <c0rnbr34d> ah
07:16:01 <c0rnbr34d> thats wierd
07:16:10 <TheDude> not really
07:16:18 <TheDude> they want to make electric bikes for their market
07:16:28 <TheDude> they can't source the technology locally, hence they come to us
07:16:44 <c0rnbr34d> im surpised they cant
07:16:56 <c0rnbr34d> how did you get the job?
07:17:34 <TheDude> are you asking about my employment with the company I'm working at or how the company got them as a customer?
07:18:08 <c0rnbr34d> ohh
07:18:10 <c0rnbr34d> I understand
07:18:17 <c0rnbr34d> your company was contracted
07:18:26 <c0rnbr34d> I was asking how you got your position
07:18:42 <TheDude> yes, we're the supplier for their drive system

07:57:34 <Ysjoelfir> mornings mr. head
07:57:45 <electrohead> hey man
07:57:53 * electrohead offers beer, courtesy of the store
08:02:31 <Ysjoelfir> oh yes, polease!
08:05:31 <electrohead> :D
08:05:37 <electrohead> how have you been?
08:05:51 <electrohead> any updates about that sh'tuff as of recent?
08:13:36 <Ysjoelfir> which one?
08:17:32 * Ampera hugs electrohead hard
08:24:53 <electrohead> the person of interest
08:24:54 <electrohead> lol
08:25:01 * electrohead hards Ampera hug
08:25:22 <Ampera> how are you doing electrohead
08:25:35 <electrohead> I'm doing, you?
08:25:56 <Ampera> gearing up to sleep in 95 minutes
08:26:08 <Ampera> tomorrow I have an appointment to get back on HRT
08:31:35 <electrohead> oh nice
08:31:42 <electrohead> I work until 9 tonight
08:32:01 <electrohead> so, won't be going to bed for a bit, yet :p
08:34:34 * Ysjoelfir is still wondering which stuff of recent mr. head was refering to
08:34:49 <Ysjoelfir> the potential new employer stuff?
08:37:48 <electrohead> nah, the guy you were looking into
08:41:12 <Ysjoelfir> aaaaah. after I compiled my research resulty my cousin talked to his brother and they noticed themselves already that the guy is dangerous, and according to him they decided to distance themselves as much as possibvle since a few weeks
08:41:37 <Ysjoelfir> especially since he posted more and more extreme right stuff in his facebook, calling for riots and stuff
08:41:45 <Ysjoelfir> because "the system" is fucking everyone and whatnot
08:42:30 <electrohead> heh
08:42:39 <electrohead> crazy be crazy :p
08:56:18 <T3sl4> it's a shame that the alt-right is somewhat justified in their anger... yet they aren't smart enough to direct it towards its actual cause
09:02:24 <Ysjoelfir> true indeed
10:10:20 * Halcyon coughs as electrohead
10:10:22 <Halcyon> *at
10:10:39 <Halcyon> Ysjoelfir: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/cooking/
10:10:41 * Ampera attack-coughs at Halcyon
10:10:45 <Halcyon> YAY!
10:10:47 <Halcyon> Herro Ampera
10:10:57 <Ampera> how are you doing Halcyon
10:11:10 <Ysjoelfir> Woah, Halcyon, who did this miracle? :D
10:11:22 <Halcyon> :P
10:11:39 <Halcyon> I'm doing OK, I knocked myself out with a sleeping tablet last night, I feel much better today, cold almost all gone.
10:11:49 <Ampera> that's a shame
10:11:55 <Halcyon> :P
10:12:00 <Ampera> you deserve misery, I wish the cold had lasted longer
10:12:17 <Halcyon> You are such a bitch
10:12:22 <Halcyon> Always hating me
10:12:39 <Halcyon> Ysjoelfir, you should add your chicken boob recipe
10:12:53 <Ysjoelfir> I am already working on that :P
10:12:54 <Ampera> I'm going to a pp clinic tomorrow to restart HRT
10:12:57 <Halcyon> Hehehe
10:13:05 <Halcyon> Very good Ampera
10:13:13 <Ampera> it is?
10:13:16 <Ampera> I thought it was a sin
10:13:19 <Ampera> darn :/
10:13:29 <Halcyon> Pfft, sins
10:13:44 <Ampera> oh yeah, if this is how bad real life is, I wouldn't want to go to hell
10:13:49 <Ampera> I'd kill myself if I was in hell
10:13:53 <Halcyon> I need to change my sheets, I must have been sweating like a pig last night, I woke up all moist
10:13:54 <Ampera> then I'd end up in hell's hell
10:14:16 * Ampera licks Halcyon's moisture off his sheets
10:14:23 <Halcyon> Ew
10:14:33 <Ampera> tastes like discount russian
10:14:37 <Halcyon> Hahahaaha
10:15:03 * electrohead pokes Halcyon and hides
10:15:17 <Halcyon> :P
10:16:00 <Ysjoelfir> Halcyon, which chicken boob recipe did you have in mind? I send you at least two with chicken boob^^
10:16:09 <Ysjoelfir> *sent
10:16:19 <Ampera> doesn't it have to be an original recipe?
10:16:39 <Halcyon> Define original recipe
10:16:47 <Ampera> one invented by the poster
10:16:52 <Halcyon> Ysjoelfir, I dunno? Both, as long as we know what they are? Chicken boob curry?
10:17:04 <Halcyon> Nah not necessarily, most recipes are adapted from others
10:17:16 <Ampera> As I said, I have recipes, just no measurements
10:17:20 <Ampera> since I never measure anything
10:17:29 <Ampera> or use recipes for that matter
10:17:37 <Halcyon> Well I refrained from setting any rules, go nuts Ampera, but you said you didn't care so *shrug*
10:17:38 <rust_collector> indian butterless chicken with butter added
10:17:48 <rust_collector> use all the butters
10:17:55 <rust_collector> not much chicken
10:18:05 <Ampera> I said I didn't care because I was told I /had/ to include measurements
10:18:54 <Ysjoelfir> hi rusty
10:19:13 <Halcyon> Do whatever you want Ampera, I don't care
10:19:25 <rust_collector> hey-o
10:20:11 <Halcyon> :P
10:21:21 <rust_collector> I am cooking food right now
10:21:33 <rust_collector> very exciting
10:21:51 <Ysjoelfir> my butterboob recipe? :P
10:22:07 <rust_collector> do you want with measurements?
10:22:24 <Ysjoelfir> Halcyon, I assume I should replace the Boobs with breasts in my recipe to not offend the moderators? :P
10:22:32 <Ysjoelfir> rusty, however you like?
10:22:32 * electrohead puts butter on Ysjoelfir's boobs
10:22:38 <Ysjoelfir> aww <3
10:22:42 <electrohead> <3
10:22:44 <electrohead> lol
10:22:46 <rust_collector> Ok, I take 1pcs pizza, ovenify it
10:23:54 <rust_collector> oh, butter. that is a great idea. it will keep your nipples from bleeding so quickly
10:26:20 <electrohead> it's that cold out here, that if you buttered my nipples, it would harden instantly outside
10:26:43 <rust_collector> you don't need butter for that
10:26:50 <Ysjoelfir> I replaced my thick blanket this night with my thin summer blanket...
10:27:49 <rust_collector> I think I will keep my duvet.
10:28:08 <rust_collector> if it gets much colder, I might close the window a bit
10:33:28 <steve30> hi Halcyon
10:39:07 <Ampera> Halcyon, AND THEN THERE WERE TWO https://www.eevblog.com/forum/cooking/experimental-stir-fry-no-1/
10:39:09 * Ampera pets the steve30
10:40:51 <Halcyon> \o/
10:41:27 <Ampera> I tuned down the sarcastic idiocy from the version on my website
10:41:33 <Ampera> and added some suggested amounts for some of the ingredients
10:41:56 <Ampera> Of course, in his excellency's units
10:42:20 <Ampera> which is apparently the official diplomatic address for the president of the united states
10:43:38 <Ysjoelfir> Halcyon, should I replace the boobs in my text with breasts to not offend the mods? :P
10:44:25 <rust_collector> nah, just pretend you are a foreigner, and hitler did not mind people calling them chicken boobs
10:44:35 <Ysjoelfir> lol
10:44:35 <Halcyon> Boob is fine
10:44:42 <Halcyon> I think Simon will see the humour
10:45:39 <steve30> dammit, I think I killed something in this camcorder
10:47:13 <steve30> ooh, a new off-topic forum
10:47:30 <Halcyon> :)
10:47:30 * electrohead fondles Halcyon's boobs
10:47:33 <Halcyon> :D
10:47:37 <electrohead> :P
10:47:52 <Ampera> I wish I had boobs for someone to fondle
10:48:39 <Halcyon> Reminds me of an old TV commercial growing up as a kid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuQAN2SMbiY
10:48:53 * electrohead fondles Ampera's lack of boobs
10:49:19 <Ampera> Halcyon, putting that on the list I'm compiling for congress as to why Australia should be nuked
10:49:28 <Halcyon> :P
10:50:24 * steve30 hisses at the magic smoke
10:51:00 <rust_collector> Ampera, don't write down all the reasons, no one would want to read more than 3-4 pages
10:51:19 <Halcyon> What happened steve30 ?
10:51:28 <Ampera> dude, I already have around 350 pages, rust_collector
10:51:33 <Ampera> that's literally a percent of what I wanted to submit
10:52:14 <rust_collector> butt... well, ok, I guess they have people employed to read that
10:52:25 <steve30> Well, no actual magic smoke, but I managed to blow a couple of fuses
10:52:41 <rust_collector> what are you doing in there?
10:54:32 * steve30 fancies some more food
11:00:12 <Halcyon> I just had coffee
11:03:12 * Ampera drinks Halcyon's coffee straight from his stomach
11:03:24 <Halcyon> :P
11:03:32 <Ampera> how is your bird
11:03:45 <Halcyon> He is good
11:03:51 <Halcyon> We have a pigeon now too
11:03:56 <Ampera> I hugged my bunny today
11:03:58 <Ampera> as a pet?
11:04:07 <Halcyon> Well, he has been hanging around outside for a week
11:04:13 <Halcyon> Sleeps here, will eat from your hand
11:04:16 <Halcyon> So *shrug*
11:04:24 <Ampera> here they're considered rats with wings
11:04:44 <Halcyon> We don't have too many of them here
11:05:54 * steve30 meows at Jerry
11:06:23 * Ampera feeds Jerry to steve30
11:10:07 <Halcyon> >:(
11:10:27 * Ampera feeds Halcyon to steve30
11:11:00 * T3sl4 preens Halcyon
11:11:20 <Halcyon> :D
11:11:42 <T3sl4> how's the snotfactory?
11:13:00 <Halcyon> Better
11:13:02 <Halcyon> I slept for 12 hours
11:13:13 <Halcyon> Still coughing but I can breathe today
11:13:22 * Ampera breaths at Halcyon
11:13:27 <Ampera> *breathes
11:13:29 <Halcyon> Why do I smell dog food?
11:13:45 <Ampera> my rotting insides
11:13:50 <Halcyon> Yummo
11:14:13 * Ampera vomits pestilence all over Halcyon
11:15:16 <T3sl4> well, you can smell at all still, i guess that's a good sign
11:15:30 * Ampera is looking at demos on youtube
11:16:33 <Ampera> maybe I should get back into playing touhou, I used to play them a while ago
11:17:21 <Ysjoelfir> its so cute how people complain about the new section, being like "I don't want to see this, but my RSS feed shows me EVERYTHING, and there are already two topics which annoys the fuck out of me!!!!!!11111one"
11:17:36 <Halcyon> Yeh I know, it's impossible to keep everyone happy
11:17:57 <Ysjoelfir> I should post a thord topic now, just because I can and because it annoye people :)
11:18:04 <T3sl4> that sounds horrible. who would want to subscribe to literally everything
11:18:15 <Ysjoelfir> damn, my typing is flawed today
11:18:16 <Halcyon> Surely you can limit the RSS feed to what you want?

11:25:33 <rust_collector> I don't think I would want to read a forum like that, using an rss reader
11:25:50 <Halcyon> Each to their own I suppose
11:25:54 <rust_collector> sure.
11:26:00 <T3sl4> that sounds like arsse
11:26:09 * Halcyon toots at T3sl4

11:26:29 <Halcyon> Oh gawd
11:26:44 <JoePublic> wot have I just walked into..?
11:26:51 <Halcyon> JoePublic, don't ask :P
11:27:17 <rust_collector> I hope you brought your own lube. have fun
11:27:25 <JoePublic> It's Ed.Kloonk. I wuz too lazy to fix the login
11:27:32 <Halcyon> Oh hey Ed, welcome
11:27:49 <Halcyon> I think if you type /nick EdKloonk it should change it
11:28:21 <Halcyon> I don't use the client on the webpage so I don't know if all the commands work
11:28:38 <JoePublic> Nup. No change.

11:29:47 <Halcyon> YAY, better
11:29:59 <Edkloonk> Doesn't like dots in the uname
11:30:08 <Halcyon> That's pretty standard I think
11:31:27 <Halcyon> I might make a tea
11:31:59 <Ysjoelfir> I have some.
11:32:03 * electrohead kloonk's Edkloonk
11:32:14 * Ysjoelfir hands Halcyon some earl grey with sweetener and milk
11:32:18 <Ysjoelfir> basically an earl beige
11:32:19 <Halcyon> Ew
11:32:27 <Halcyon> Lavendar with milk?
11:32:39 <rust_collector> no, tea
11:32:40 <Halcyon> I have some Rassssspberry tea somewhere, I'll have that
11:32:43 <Ysjoelfir> wutt? you don't like earl beige?
11:32:44 <electrohead> I'm ready to go home already
11:33:22 <Halcyon> Edkloonk, we were just discussing the off-topic forum, seems some people aren't happy about it
11:33:23 <Ysjoelfir> Bring some beer with you
11:33:30 <rust_collector> I am home already, my shift ends in 26 minutes
11:33:40 * Ysjoelfir doesn't care about some unhappy people
11:33:59 <rust_collector> make them suffer, lol
11:34:02 * Ysjoelfir does instead cares about the kitty poop he smells and is disgusted by >_> brb
11:34:02 <electrohead> lol
11:34:20 <electrohead> I'll definitely be taking some beer home with me
11:34:31 <T3sl4> aww, someone left you a present Ysjoelfir

11:36:31 <Edkloonk> re off-topic, I just worry for people who are too used to FB and twitter curating out what they don't want to see
11:37:29 <Ysjoelfir> I am very happy that I don't have to care with all that social media shit anymore
11:38:17 <Ysjoelfir> was enough hassle to delete that shit^^
11:39:29 <Edkloonk> I never used FB. Only had an account for read only to follow speedway rider news
11:39:58 <Halcyon> I don't use social media at all
11:40:03 <Halcyon> This is as close as it gets
11:40:19 <T3sl4> i have fb just to keep up with friends
11:40:30 * Halcyon double-teabags T3sl4
11:40:35 <T3sl4> don't have any groups on there
11:40:40 <Halcyon> I made a big mug of Raspberry tea :)
11:40:48 * T3sl4 puts Halcyon in hot water
11:40:52 <T3sl4> nice :)
11:41:45 <Halcyon> I want to buy one of those GoTek floppy emulators
11:41:54 <T3sl4> flemulator
11:41:57 <T3sl4> phlegmulator
11:41:59 <Halcyon> But they have like 15 different models, no idea why
11:42:05 * electrohead emulates Halcyon's floppy
11:42:18 <Halcyon> All this attention :P
11:42:26 <electrohead> yeah, no social media here as well, just like Halcyon, this is the most I do, get on IRC
11:42:32 <electrohead> and lol, you love it :P
11:42:49 <Edkloonk> Blood pressure pills... Floppy
11:43:43 <Edkloonk> The last time I was on IRC, it was 2009
11:44:07 <Halcyon> I miss the good old days of IRC
11:44:11 <Halcyon> Thousands of users
11:44:32 * Ysjoelfir hands Edkloonk a proper IRC client and advises him to stay here
11:45:34 <Halcyon> Yes, join us, it's not ALL about T3sl4 talking about butts and bollocks
11:45:46 <Edkloonk> * Ed warns Ysj.. that Ed has no filter
11:45:57 <Halcyon> Hah, even more reason to stay
11:46:06 <T3sl4> also, /me action
11:46:16 <T3sl4> and yeah, sometimes it's Halcyon talking about cocks
11:46:21 <Halcyon> True
11:46:27 <T3sl4> like his pet cock...atiel
11:46:31 <rust_collector> sometimes?
11:46:33 <Halcyon> Hahaha
11:46:41 <T3sl4> or, er, whatever Jerry is if not that, i forget?
11:46:50 <Halcyon> Yes, Jerry is a cockatiel
11:46:51 <Edkloonk> FYI clicking name button (to the left) brings up nick change dialog
11:47:05 <Halcyon> Oh, there you go
11:47:09 <Halcyon> I just use Hexchat
11:47:39 <Halcyon> Heh, I like this guys name: Wuerstchenhund
11:47:46 <Ysjoelfir> I use AdiIRC. Free and looks nice oldschool

11:51:07 Join: ed_kloonk ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
11:51:49 <rust_collector> it was mostly because irc clients for android sucks, so I used a non-android one
11:52:04 <Halcyon> I would be so distracted if I had IRC on my phone
11:52:46 <rust_collector> I only use it every other day, when I am waiting to get loaded in shit town
11:52:55 <rust_collector> it is not on, most of the time
11:53:18 <ed_kloonk> OK. Hexchat working. Had to boost font size from 9 to 20000
11:53:57 <Halcyon> Heh
11:54:13 <Halcyon> I probably should go finish some work so I can have the rest of the day to do nothing, I've procrastinated enough

11:54:28 <rust_collector> you can do that tomorrow
11:54:45 <Halcyon> Nah I can't. I promised I'd have something finished today which I need to email off
11:54:54 <Halcyon> It's for a court trial starting soon, so kind of important
11:55:09 <rust_collector> blah blah blah
11:55:12 <Halcyon> :P
11:55:19 <rust_collector> important for who?
11:55:27 <Halcyon> The officer in charge
11:55:31 <Halcyon> Well, I guess the public as a whole
11:56:03 <rust_collector> mmhmm. I think the population as a whole will be ok
11:56:06 <Halcyon> This guy killed a lady, still haven't found the body but he is being charged with her murder
11:56:17 <electrohead> oh damn
11:56:26 <rust_collector> maybe she was less than nice
11:56:32 <Halcyon> *shrug*
11:57:13 <rust_collector> did you look in the fridge?
11:57:16 <Halcyon> I've so far written a 56 page experts report on the stuff I found on his devices and still going
11:57:30 <rust_collector> oof
11:57:32 <Halcyon> Hehe, I'm scared to look in my fridge
11:58:22 <Halcyon> Anyways, back soon
11:58:57 <ed_kloonk> bye
11:59:10 <Ysjoelfir> cu hulkion
11:59:23 <Ysjoelfir> rust_collector, a question for my favourite mechanic.
11:59:29 <rust_collector> have fun, mr " I do important things for everyone in th eworld"
11:59:34 <rust_collector> oh
12:01:08 <rust_collector> Ysjoelfir, try with a hammer
12:01:29 <Ysjoelfir> I have a small Röhm Supra drillchuck with morse taper 1. I restored that thing and its pretty nice and smooth now. you know that my lathe is pretty short, so I would love to have as much travel in the tailstock as possible, so using a MT1 to MT2 adapter is not the best idea. instead I got a B12 to MT2 taper.... thing. Question I have now is.... how the hell do I get the B12 out of the chuck?
12:01:36 <Edkloonk> I'm never afraid to wheel out the oxy
12:01:58 <Ysjoelfir> its not locked in by a screw, its just friction I THINK. and maybe a bit of rust. is there a trick to remove that?
12:02:23 <rust_collector> it is probably just shrunk into the thing
12:03:14 <electrohead> sounds like it requires percussive maintenance
12:04:25 <rust_collector> you can try to put a nut inside the chuck, and hold it in place with the jaw things, then screw a bolt in there. but they are probably very well stuck
12:04:37 <Ysjoelfir> that could well be. do you think putting it into the freezer overnight, then blasting the chuck with a blowtorch should help?
12:05:07 <rust_collector> it would not get any worse
12:07:38 <rust_collector> the ones I can find pics of, just has a short taper that goes into the chuck. if you can see the end of the tapered part inside, just be evil, or use a press
12:11:42 <ed_kloonk> I'm out for lunch, since cook is MIA and hyclon's hairy tea bag makes we want a salad
12:12:59 Quit: Edkloonk (Ed.KloonkX`[email protected]) Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
12:17:15 <Ysjoelfir> yep, I can see the end of the taper inside after I disassembled the top. tried using a bearing puller but that cheap thing just bent xD I'll tra banging on the end of that thing with a hammer tomorrow, and if that doesn't work I'll try heating it up.
12:19:01 <rust_collector> I do think it should pop out without too much violence. best would probably to stick it in a press, and if that doesn't work, heat while it is pushing
12:19:28 <Ysjoelfir> a Press is a thing that is on my to get list. But I don't have one yet.
12:19:36 <rust_collector> grrrr
12:20:02 <Ysjoelfir> yes.
12:20:06 <rust_collector> ok, forget those little 30 ton ones, get a proper one
12:20:21 <Ysjoelfir> remember that I don't have much space
12:20:41 <Ysjoelfir> I thought about a spindle press, those are rather small and should work for small things I do
12:20:47 <rust_collector> yes
12:21:53 <Ysjoelfir> before I thought such a thing might be great, but I think that is TO small. https://www.ebay.de/itm/Grose-Drehdornpresse-Handhebelpresse-WABECO-Top-Qualitat/154309622604?hash=item23ed91fb4c:g:qOcAAOSw~-dgEvy3
12:21:55 <rust_collector> a 2 or 4 ton one of those would be pretty handy.
12:22:49 <Ysjoelfir> I would like to use it as well to punch holes in sheetmetal as I have a set of dies and punches, so it should at least be able to have like... 150mm deep material inserted.
12:24:09 <rust_collector> I thought about using the steering rack from some car, to make somehting like that. it makes almost no sense
12:24:33 <Ysjoelfir> heh. but I can see how that could work. would be a nice proof of concept thing^^
12:24:50 <rust_collector> gears and stuff tends to be sort of expensive, so it could be worth it
12:25:15 <rust_collector> otoh, when you have built a little press like that, it will outlast you

12:40:07 <Halcyon> OK, I think I'm about done
12:40:11 <Halcyon> My head hurts
12:41:23 <Halcyon> electrohead, funny you should mention that. We did research into sex toys at work years ago (IoT vibrators) and worked out how easy it is to connect to their cameras/microphones
12:41:44 <electrohead> wait, some IoT sex toys have microphones and cameras?
12:41:47 <electrohead> o.o
12:41:52 <Halcyon> Yes, yes they do
12:42:16 <Halcyon> https://www.wired.co.uk/article/sex-toy-bluetooth-hacks-security-fix
12:42:17 <electrohead> fucking why?
12:42:31 <electrohead> I do remember the butt plug that got hacked
12:42:46 <Halcyon> I guess some people want to see other people's insides?
12:42:53 <electrohead> >.<
12:43:13 <Halcyon> Hey, it's a thing. There is a "genre" of sex toys out there for everything and anything
12:43:13 <electrohead> you know.. my curiosity is pegging, now
12:43:16 <electrohead> (pardon the pun)
12:43:22 <Halcyon> Bahahaha
12:43:33 <Halcyon> Well done, T3sl4 would be proud
12:43:39 <electrohead> lmfao
12:43:49 <electrohead> wait, why him?
12:43:56 <Halcyon> Oh he is full of puns
12:44:00 <electrohead> oh oh, ok
12:44:07 <electrohead> I thought it was going to be for a different reason
12:44:09 <electrohead> lol
12:44:17 <Halcyon> Well, it could be? I haven't ruled that out either.
12:44:22 <electrohead> :P
12:44:32 <electrohead> I'm curious now about what all is out there
12:44:43 <electrohead> I'll look on amazon/ebay/whatever later on once I get home
12:44:45 <electrohead> heh
12:44:49 <rust_collector> whatever you pay someone to make
12:45:29 <coppice> I always loved queries from sex toy makers. Your colleagues usually find the idea of supplying them a bit iffy, and then they see the quantities and just want to sell every part they can :)
12:45:56 <Halcyon> Really?
12:46:12 <Halcyon> I mean, I would imagine it's a pretty huge market
12:46:16 <T3sl4> Halcyon: my interests lie in the intersection of puns and butt jokes
12:46:47 <T3sl4> the crotch, you might say
12:46:53 <Halcyon> :P
12:47:00 <coppice> Halcyon: A single model might be an order for 5 or 10 million MCUs
12:47:20 <Halcyon> Is that a lot?
12:47:36 <T3sl4> it's more than two
12:48:43 <coppice> Halcyon: well, if they are internet connected with won't be 5 cent MCUs. Then you may be able to sell then a wifi radio chip and other stuff
12:48:43 <electrohead> heh
12:49:21 <Halcyon> Yeh fair enough
12:49:49 <Halcyon> I wonder what it would be like to be a developer for such a company. Some of the ones we played with (heh) ran Busybox
12:50:22 <Halcyon> Or some other linuxy type thing
12:50:54 <T3sl4> tbh the thing that disturbs me almost as much as sharing that data over the air, is putting a lithium ion battery inside your body
12:52:50 <coppice> Halcyon: some of the interesting inquiries I received were for things like those little love eggs. They usually have a lead, but the premium ones don't. and there is very little space inside for battery. So, they want them to be super efficient.
12:52:52 <Halcyon> Well yeh that too
12:53:29 <Halcyon> I'm honestly surprised there haven't been more injuries reported due to crappy Chinese batteries
12:55:03 <rust_collector> well, do they really do anything interesting very often? My experience has been that they are just sort of low capacity and crap
12:55:10 <coppice> Halcyon: If you talk with people who work in A&E depts, most of the sexual injuries are still mechanically induced
12:55:58 <Halcyon> I have a mate of mine who works in ICU at a hospital, I should ask him
12:56:12 <Halcyon> I'd imagine too, things getting "stuck" would be common
12:56:34 <coppice> Halcyon: hopefully not too many reach an ICU
12:56:42 <T3sl4> always have a string or flange on it
12:57:02 <rust_collector> or a small rocket motor
12:57:07 <Halcyon> Well when it's something like a zucchini or carrot, not always an option
12:57:37 <coppice> Halcyon: vegetarian sex toys?
12:57:51 <Halcyon> I guess anything can be a sex toy if you try
12:57:57 <rust_collector> carrots come with handles
12:58:10 <Halcyon> The ones that give me the heebie-jeebies are "sounds"
12:58:58 <rust_collector> a little speaker, that says "hello? HELLO??"
12:59:03 <T3sl4> heh

12:59:14 <T3sl4> oh my young summer child
12:59:20 <Halcyon> This is reletively safe for work
12:59:36 <Halcyon> But basically it's a probe you insert in your pee hole
13:00:37 <Halcyon> I do wonder the history behind some of these discoveries. Like who thought that it should be a fun idea to do that?

14:06:03 <electrohead> I've always wanted to make a pretty large sized tesla coil, for funsies
14:06:12 <T3sl4> takes a lot of power
14:07:42 <rust_collector> t would be cool to have one, that is big enough that I have to have it outside. maybe next to the train line, so I can use their lots of power
14:08:32 <rust_collector> I do wonder why our trains run on such weird power
14:09:04 <T3sl4> because history?
14:09:11 <rust_collector> probably
14:09:18 <T3sl4> is that weird AC, or just whatever DC
14:09:41 <rust_collector> ac, 16 3/4hz or something like that

14:17:49 <electrohead> I actually like his videos a lot, mainly because he makes sausage out of anything, and tries it
14:17:53 <electrohead> <.<
14:18:10 <electrohead> oh oh, to answer your question
14:18:14 <electrohead> "Ordinary Sausage"
14:18:54 <Halcyon> He is a bit much for me
14:18:59 <T3sl4> oh i get it. Halcyon could use some gaytor sausage
14:19:03 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: Bugger it, I think I'll just copy this, the reasons are near identical: https://t.co/7eu1iMDLc8
14:19:23 <Halcyon> You're going to scare away ed_kloonk with all this sausage talk
14:20:35 <ed_kloonk> German sausages are the wurst
14:20:42 <Halcyon> Eyyyyy
14:20:44 <Halcyon> :)
14:21:00 <Halcyon> Maybe I can do mac and cheese spring rolls
14:21:13 <rust_collector> no
14:21:27 <T3sl4> ed is such a brat
14:21:29 <rust_collector> no no no
14:21:38 <Halcyon> What's wrong?
14:21:55 <T3sl4> ooh, mac and cheese in fried like egg rolls? that'd be nice
14:22:05 <rust_collector> mac and cheese and spring rolls. that is just wrong
14:22:14 <T3sl4> more like summer rolls
14:22:20 <T3sl4> how about summer sausage rolls? hmm
14:22:27 <Halcyon> rust_collector, they are delicious :)
14:22:41 <rust_collector> I don't care, that is wrong!
14:22:49 <Halcyon> Don't knock it until you try it :)
14:23:14 <rust_collector> Nah, it sounds good, but I guess it s one of those things that you have to eat right now.
14:24:37 <Halcyon> Okies, I'm going to the supermarket. Back later
14:25:09 <rust_collector> just think they would be a bit less great if they get cold
14:27:14 <T3sl4> shrug, pizza's pretty good when cold
14:27:21 <rust_collector> yep
14:27:33 <T3sl4> i don't mind cold macca. i guess the fried shell would turn mushier
14:28:22 <rust_collector> I guess it is better than reheated kebab from last night
14:35:04 <rust_collector> heh, the little deer was outside again. they are pretty cute. They have to be very bored, because they walk around the same place every night. I guess they have a party up in the woods or something
14:36:02 <rust_collector> time for a nap. good night

21:31:44 <Ysjoelfir> mornings
21:32:20 <hsn> morning Ysjoelfir
21:32:36 <Ysjoelfir> hsn, I have a great thing on upwork for you
21:33:04 <hsn> Halcyon, tbh my way of adding spices = "shake the spice bottle and they drop .. just by eye... no real teaspoon thingy"
21:33:11 <hsn> show
21:33:51 Quit: Icedream ([email protected]) Quit: A lol made me boom.
21:33:57 <Ysjoelfir> https://www.upwork.com/job/Hardware-design-engineer-needed_~01aaa5facc89edd38d/
21:34:48 <hsn> when they say microprocessor
21:34:52 <hsn> is it microcontroller ?
21:35:17 <Ysjoelfir> probably yes
21:35:42 <T3sl4> Ysjoelfir, how useful is upwork?
21:36:07 <T3sl4> also Ysjoelfir, "animal with two legs" = "the other other white meat"? ;)
21:36:27 Join: Icedream ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
21:37:55 <Ysjoelfir> T3sl4, upwork is not usefull at all, you should not go there and propose to stuff I am interested in :P
21:38:07 <hsn> hhaha
21:38:21 <hsn> Ysjoelfir, i would love to propose on that thing
21:38:37 <Ysjoelfir> No, its quite ok. Many idiots, but also some interesting jobs. sadly many underpaid. and yes, the other other white meat :P
21:38:41 <Ysjoelfir> hsn, well, then do?
21:38:53 <hsn> i just want to know based on ur knowledge of my knowledge .. im afraid of these points : memory modules, power circuits and networking/communication modules
21:39:11 <hsn> this is only time i dealt with memory:
21:39:23 <hsn> https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Z2RwgHFKA/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
21:39:55 <hsn> it didnt even require length matching etc etc .. was just NOR flash + sram
21:40:53 <hsn> also that was not tested xD .. i get "scared" to take someone money and not be able to deliver his needs
21:41:02 <T3sl4> it kinda sounds like a project i did recently, tbh
21:41:21 <hsn> T3sl4, they were not happy now they want me to fix ur mistake
21:41:22 <T3sl4> and that took months (partly because the MCU is some propietary jobbie)
21:41:28 <hsn> lol just ironic joke ^
21:42:28 <Ysjoelfir> well, you can always learn if you think you don't get it right? I think you could manage that.
21:42:37 <T3sl4> even with the "negotiable" part, $1200 is such an underball that i can't imagine any possible way i would make money off an offer like that
21:43:25 <hsn> T3sl4, there are some good price jobs .. but to start somewhere .. i should start with cheap ones .. specially with my knowledge ..
21:43:40 <T3sl4> maybe that was the point of posting it here, to gawk at the naivety, idunno :P
21:43:46 <hsn> u can find some with 30/40$ / hour or somthing
21:44:01 <Ysjoelfir> Thats what I meant with many underpaid. but you have to take the location into account. Also, many good paid ones expect you to have reviews on upwork.
21:44:08 <T3sl4> $30/hr is like negative money here
21:44:32 <hsn> T3sl4, now u hurt me
21:44:43 <Ysjoelfir> yep, same here. german engineers (freelancers) would expect like 75 and upwards per hour. but you have to have a good reputation for that
21:45:19 <hsn> T3sl4, https://www.upwork.com/ab/find-work/details/~0113fd2c6ff8baa1bd
21:45:31 <T3sl4> yeah, i can see that would happen. so just having a base on there, means investing significant time at negative money until you finally start getting good offers
21:45:40 <Ysjoelfir> yep

21:46:00 <hsn> let me
21:46:02 <Ysjoelfir> 43k fixed price
21:46:06 <hsn> https://snipboard.io/v5ZakA.jpg
21:46:07 <Ysjoelfir> level intermediate
21:46:16 <Ysjoelfir> ah. well, thats better xD
21:47:09 <T3sl4> they want an entire fucking assembly line? for $43k?
21:47:34 <Ysjoelfir> yes. and of course you would have to have the equipment yourself
21:47:53 <T3sl4> even if it's all arduinos and speed tape, that's still negative money
21:48:23 <Ysjoelfir> well, if you would be done in a month I would consider that a good price ;-P
21:49:35 <hsn> T3sl4, i think if u have customers allready .. then why u would go to freelancing platform
21:49:42 <Watcher> and if you take the contract you must also build a fully functional prototype for the 43K?
21:49:55 <hsn> in my opinion .. its much better to get them long termed by ur self
21:50:28 <hsn> upwork i think would take 10-20% of projects
21:51:15 <Watcher> 4.3 to 8.6K less if you take the money for a loss making job is al lot
21:51:37 <Watcher> in my eyes
21:51:50 <hsn> https://snipboard.io/xr3BYt.jpg
21:52:37 <T3sl4> thats not a big deal by itself, but it hurts even more when everyone's lowballing this much
21:53:30 <hsn> T3sl4, u know whats the solution ?
21:53:34 <Ysjoelfir> problem is, that there are many indian and chinese "companies" offering to EVERYTHING with their incredibly low prices. that makes it hard to compete with quality alone, so you HAVE to go down in price
21:54:03 <hsn> T3sl4, a reddit .. UpworkBets
21:54:07 <hsn> :P
21:54:18 <T3sl4> heh
21:56:03 <Watcher> hsn, then upworks makes a lot of money by make just a site and do some marketign for there one platform
21:56:34 <hsn> Watcher, ofc .. and it works for them pretty well ..
21:57:17 Quit: Octane ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
21:57:19 <hsn> well they also act like paypal to make sure u "get paid" and "get the job done" i guess ?
21:57:46 <hsn> middle person ? 3rd party ? .. idk whats the proper description here
21:58:01 <Watcher> i agree with that much money for a contract and you can make 100se of contractdeals a day with no extra effort
21:58:29 <Watcher> and paypal will also take there part?
21:58:55 <hsn> idk how the payments are done .. maybe direct visa thingy ?
21:59:02 <hsn> i never had job there ^
22:00:31 <Watcher> https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/merchant-fees#fixed-fees-commercialtrans
22:00:45 <Watcher> you will lose another 2.90% to paypal
22:05:43 <hsn> Ysjoelfir, there is one problem with my proposal

22:18:44 <hsn> hey Halcyon ,,
22:18:47 <hsn> CRTs have always scared me. That... and car batteries. <<
22:18:57 <hsn> why car battery scare u ?
22:27:35 <Ampera> It is 5F out
22:28:01 <Ampera> eevblog convert 5f to c
22:28:01 <EEVBlog> The result is: -15 c
22:28:33 <Ysjoelfir> hsn, probably one of the irational fears. I know many people that fear car batteries as well, probably because in media it at least WAS often shown that those are soooooo dangerous and can electrocute you. because you know, they are strong genough to start a car!
22:28:44 <Ysjoelfir> Ampera, that sounds beautiful!
22:28:47 <Ysjoelfir> here its +6
22:28:52 <Ysjoelfir> EEVBlog convert 6c to f
22:28:53 <EEVBlog> The result is: 42.8 f
22:30:44 <Ampera> that's almost tshirt weather
22:30:59 * Ysjoelfir is sitting here with a tshirt
22:31:01 <Ysjoelfir> almost?
22:31:15 <Ampera> the only thing to fear from car batteries is hydrogen discharge
22:31:30 <Ysjoelfir> kaboom
22:32:04 <Ampera> as for the temperature, I have to go out in that
22:32:11 <Ampera> oh well, could be worse
22:32:21 <Ampera> we've had -20F days before
22:34:27 <Ysjoelfir> EEVBlog convert -20f to c
22:34:28 <EEVBlog> The result is: -28.889 c
22:34:34 <Ysjoelfir> thats pretty cold indeed
22:38:39 <Watcher> that will by here one of the coldest days in 100 year'
22:45:43 <Ampera> mhm, apparently the weather here today is a high of 18F and a low of -4F
22:45:59 <Ampera> -8C and -20C respectively
