00:00:11 <MrMobodies> I see
00:00:23 <Ampera> There is also the matter of range, if you need to cause injury at a distance, a heavy projectile may be more effective than a lighter or broken one
00:00:32 <Ampera> however, it would also be harder and slower to throw
00:00:51 <Ampera> I'd say in order to come up with a real answer, science would have to be conducted
00:00:52 <MrMobodies> when some people are drunk, they seem to show a lot of energy
00:01:02 <MrMobodies> when they get angry
00:01:42 <MrMobodies> thanks for that
00:01:42 <K> drunks have lower reaction and reflexes
00:01:50 <K> dont be a drunk
00:02:07 <MrMobodies> when they walk out of the pub in this villge they seem quiet
00:02:15 <MrMobodies> especially after 10 pints or so
00:02:25 <MrMobodies> in the city where I use it live they walked in there drunk
00:02:33 <Ampera> The best way to win in a bar fight is to 1. not be drunk 2. bring a gun
00:02:35 <MrMobodies> and they police would be lined up waiting
00:03:01 <MrMobodies> yes, they see the the gun and stay away.
00:03:18 <MrMobodies> Oh not allowed guns in the uk, has to be licensed.
00:03:51 <K> dunno about "open carry" (?) in the uk, but suspect is not a thing
00:04:33 <Ampera> How can one stand to live in a society where they can't take the simple precaution of taking a loaded firearm to a civilized bar fight
00:04:48 <Ampera> What a dark time we live ni
00:04:50 <Ampera> *in
00:06:14 <MrMobodies> what they do in the UK... the police just line up outside with batons and tazers... allow them to get out of control and then they act.

00:08:32 <MrMobodies> many years ago
00:09:43 <MrMobodies> if they hurt you you go to hospital, they go into cell if they are caught and go to trial but dare retaliate and get in trouble too unless it is self defence and that one is a slippery slope.
00:10:27 <MrMobodies> but don't see any of these problems in a village I am villing in other other villages around it
00:10:34 <MrMobodies> quite peaceful here
00:11:08 <MrMobodies> oops mistyped
00:21:46 <K> dont do that, the mistype popo will come for you
00:22:04 <K> don want that

03:17:16 <arch> is it bad EMI wise if i place an SMD heatsink on the positive side of a buck converter's output? suppse i place a heatsink right after the rectifier diode, as close to the diode as possible
03:17:16 Join: Guest69 ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
03:17:56 <arch> the few hundred mV of ripple would couple out through the heatsink as a kind of antenna, no? but the effect shouldn't be very large, at least, i think
03:18:00 <Kuschelpony> i see not many problems, except that it could surprise technicans when a heatsink is not grounded

03:18:26 <arch> ah, you speak from experience lol
03:19:15 <arch> actually, my GTX580 constant current load suffers from a similar issue. since i soldered the mosfet directly to the heatsink, the heatsink and any surrounding metal is at drain potential
03:19:36 <arch> which is why i put large warning stickers on it

04:11:58 <DHess_US> arch, the heatsink capacitively couples to everything around it. So having it connected to the switching node *is* an EMI issue but not necessarily bad enough to be a problem.
04:13:26 <Kuschelpony> Dhess i think he meant at the cathode of the rectifier diode
04:14:02 <arch> DHess_US, not exactly AT the switching node. suppose i have a SEPIC conv: the diode's cathode is connected to the output filter capacitors; i would be connecting the heatsink at that location
04:14:34 <arch> so the filter caps would be reducing the EMI greatly enough so we don't make it a large antenna
04:14:55 <DHess_US> Sure, there is still some effect through the capacitor's ESR and ESL
04:15:12 <arch> i see
04:16:18 <DHess_US> It is like connecting everything around it through picofarads of capacitance to that node.

09:11:22 <Halcyon> And it's still too cold down there
09:14:01 <steve30> Did I tell you that my Mum is changing her VDSL provider "because her WiFi is crap"?
09:14:26 <Halcyon> Riiiight
09:14:35 <Halcyon> Did you explain it to her?
09:16:32 <jaymax> More an embedded hacking topic: I jailbreaked a second Amazon Kindle (Paperwhite2) last night. Fingers crossed I won't do that again. Considering all the firmware updates after the hardware launch, only way to do it now is over serial to pads on the board.
09:17:42 <jaymax> IIRC it's the same model year as the one Dave featered on a couple video. Also not looking forward to when those pouch batteries go.
09:19:23 <Halcyon> I do like those e-ink displays
09:21:42 <jaymax> I bought two at the same time - one a 2GB model, the other 4GB - so once I got the first working with USBnet to a TTY over ssh (Kindleberry Pi project), I knew I had to repeat for the other.
09:24:43 <steve30> Halcyon, I just said 'OK'. I prefer not to get involved.
09:24:59 <Halcyon> Heh
09:25:13 <Halcyon> Aren't you going to have to fix it when it doesnt work?
09:25:14 <steve30> I'm not sure what her problem is. Its a 40/10 VDSL connection and I can easily get about 38/9 over the 802.11n
09:36:19 <steve30> It'll be interesting to see whether she's taken out the 40/10 service or the 80/20 with the new provider.
09:36:32 <steve30> We used to have 80/20. Not sure why she 'downgraded'.
09:39:44 <electrohead> Wait, wait.. your mom wants to change her provider, because of her wifi speeds?
09:39:47 <electrohead> o.O
09:39:53 <steve30> yup
09:40:27 <steve30> Currently with Plusnet, who are owned by BT. She has changed to EE, who are also owned by BT.
09:40:41 <steve30> I gather the equipment they supply is not the same, but similar.
09:40:52 <electrohead> I mean, is she having connection issues? Overall speed based issues?
09:41:04 <steve30> no idea
09:41:12 <electrohead> You should fine out, then?
09:41:15 <steve30> she just describes the "wifi" as being "shocking".
09:41:57 <steve30> I use said VDSL/802.11n connection myself all the time and can assure you its fine, so I've no idea what her issue is.
09:42:05 <steve30> All I can think of is that its something related to her iThings.
09:44:26 <electrohead> Probably bandwidth related
09:45:04 <electrohead> Err, on her end, rather
09:45:17 <steve30> I don't know what things are like in electroheadland, but here people think their 'Wifi' connection actually comes from the ISP.
09:45:42 <electrohead> Lol
09:45:58 <electrohead> My wifi comes from my 5G microchip
09:46:09 <steve30> likewise people think they have 'fibre' when they have copper.
09:46:23 <electrohead> Sorry, that was a bad joke
09:46:32 <electrohead> Heh
09:46:37 <steve30> :)
09:47:52 <electrohead> So, my new laptop is officially my fastest computer I own
09:48:10 <electrohead> It out-beats my main server, other than the fact my server has two CPU's

09:55:46 <steve30> iMac G5 (early low end version)
09:59:48 <electrohead> Ahh, ok
10:00:01 <electrohead> OSX running on it, or linux?
10:00:29 <steve30> OSX Leopard. I'm just trying to make an installer USB drive so i can reinstall it
10:01:13 <steve30> I'll probably dual boot it with linux at some point though
10:01:17 <electrohead> You should try to get linux running on that beast
10:01:19 <electrohead> Lol
10:01:24 <electrohead> There you go :p
10:01:44 <steve30> Well, I do want it running OSX so I can run OSX software.

10:07:02 <electrohead> And you have a point, lol
10:15:21 <steve30> Well, I made an installer disk. And now the machine won't boot from it.
10:15:42 <steve30> Ideally one would just burn the ISO to a DVD, but its needs to be a dual layer DVD and I don't have any in stock.

11:06:19 <T3sl4> hm, considering how oily it is, i would imagine lox soaked with LOX would be rather lively

12:04:54 <arch> mm pocky
12:11:00 <EEVBot> [Twitter] - eevblog - Damn, this #Matrix4 teaser website is very well done: https://t.co/WY9QciHG9Z
12:14:20 <arch> what's a good rule of thumb, or is there such a thing, for a secondary LC filter for a flyback output? Ray Ridley gives 10% inductance for the L for the post filter, but it's for a buck conv, which has continuous output current
12:14:34 * flyback bites arch
12:15:10 <arch> my topswitch fbt secondary is 6uH; soo 0.68uH is the standard value i'd use?
12:19:16 <arch> tldr: We need to design the filter to
12:19:16 <arch> have a cutoff frequency much lower than the operating frequency, so that it will effectively reduce the switching
12:19:16 <arch> noise observed at the output : https://www.infineon.com/dgdl/an-1025.pdf?fileId=5546d462533600a40153559119290f6e
12:20:01 <arch> A good rule is to set the
12:20:01 <arch> filter capacitor C9 to be approximately half the value of the main output capacitor C7
12:20:32 <arch> gureto daze, this appnote will be helpful
12:22:32 <steve30> it sucks that CD-Rs and DVD-Rs have a habbit of dying after a few years
12:23:04 <arch> hmm, according to the calculations, if i use a 470uF post filter cap, i would need a 375nH filter L, which is 0.375uH. the standard value L i can use is 0.47uH, which i have plenty of. great
12:24:57 <arch> you know what, i could parallel three 1uH 0805 inductors instead; that's close enough to 375uH
12:24:59 Join: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
12:25:04 <arch> and save myself some space
12:25:11 <arch> 375nH i mean
12:25:33 <Halcyon> Do you reckon 1 amp is too high a current to charge normal AA NiMH cells?
12:25:43 <arch> no
12:25:56 <Halcyon> Mmmm okies
12:26:04 <Halcyon> Felt a bit high for my liking, but fair enough
12:26:06 <arch> you can charge them at 1C, so if it's rated 2400mAh, you should be able to safely charge them at 2.4A
12:26:17 <Kuschelpony> halcyon, no problem
12:26:27 <Halcyon> Yep, fair enough
12:26:37 <Halcyon> Thanks guys
12:26:43 <Kuschelpony> if the cells are fine, they dont heat seriously at 2a
12:27:04 <Halcyon> Yeh I'm just looking at this charger: https://mahaenergy.com/mh-c980/
12:27:06 <EEVBot> [Title] - Powerex MH-C980 Charger
12:27:15 <Kuschelpony> just watch voltage and limit to 1,6v
12:27:15 <Halcyon> It does AA at 1 or 2 amps and AAA at 500mA or 1A
12:27:18 <arch> actually, rate of heat rise is a pretty good indicator of charge, at least for NiCD. that's how many smart NICD and NIMH chargers work too
12:27:39 <Kuschelpony> my favorite is the opus btc3100
12:28:20 <Halcyon> Mmm I'll look at those too. But I want something with at least 8 slots
12:28:36 <Halcyon> It's nice that it does Li-ion as well
12:29:43 <arch> it would be nicer if that charger had temperature sensing as well
12:29:54 <arch> maybe it could have put a small metal tab connected to an NTC
12:31:33 <Halcyon> The Maha Powerex one has a fan, so I assume it's measuring temperature somewhere?
12:31:38 <Halcyon> Unless it just runs all the time
12:31:55 <T3sl4> arch: use whatever filtering is needed for filtering and response
12:32:51 * electrohead forces Halcyon to rub on T3sl4
12:32:59 <Halcyon> "force"
12:33:04 <T3sl4> forces?
12:33:12 * electrohead films
12:34:29 <Kuschelpony> the btc3100 also has a fan but only senses verall temperature, still does a fine job to keep power limited to not heat the cells
12:35:59 Quit: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) Connection closed
12:36:13 <electrohead> Halcyon, T3sl4: it sounded good at the time
12:37:03 <T3sl4> forcing me would make sense, Halcyon less so
12:37:12 <Halcyon> Basically
12:38:03 <electrohead> Lol
12:48:53 <arch> need to finish up the layout and shrink everything, but here's the general shape. im using thru hole parts, but not drilling any holes: https://i.imgur.com/AIQWAi5.png
12:50:13 <arch> i'll have to use one, maybe two overhead jumpers. one for the bridge rect; another one for the feedback on tl431, maybe
12:50:30 * T3sl4 stabs arch with cut of component leads
12:50:35 <T3sl4> +f
12:50:56 <arch> you dont have to. i already step in them every so often, from the carpet lol
12:51:05 <arch> i need myself a fucking workshop
12:51:22 * arch gets tetanus
12:52:00 * electrohead offers his lab to be used
12:52:08 <electrohead> haven't worked back there in over a week
12:52:12 <electrohead> so, use it up
12:52:15 <electrohead> lol
12:52:29 * T3sl4 wraps electrohead's lab in film
12:52:41 <electrohead> that would take you a long time
12:53:10 <T3sl4> i have a lot
12:54:09 <arch> the deepest lead snipping i ever got was about 3mm, in my big toe thankfully
12:54:56 <electrohead> T3sl4: good luck, then!
12:55:14 <T3sl4> i've been collecting all the films you've made :>
12:55:29 <electrohead> arch: I've never gotten anything stuck in my feet, I also clean up :p
12:55:35 <electrohead> T3sl4: awe shucks
12:55:49 <arch> you cant clean lead clippings out of the carpet easily
12:55:52 <T3sl4> 3mm dia?
12:55:55 <T3sl4> or long
12:56:03 <arch> so 3mm long stuck in my toe
12:56:14 <arch> resistor lead clipping
12:56:20 <T3sl4> pfft
12:56:27 <T3sl4> i once stepped on a diode lead, think it kinda went into my big toe joint. hurt for ages
12:56:33 <T3sl4> stayed sore, that is
12:56:46 <arch> ya, but ur an engineer. that's a standard occupational hazard for you

15:00:16 <Halcyon> ... wait... that sounded wrong
15:00:21 <Halcyon> You know what I mean
15:00:50 <electrohead> I do, lol
15:00:56 <electrohead> It does, yes
15:00:58 <electrohead> :p
15:01:02 <Halcyon> \o/
15:01:07 <electrohead> It's mainly staying in my TV room
15:01:13 <electrohead> But.. yes, for you
15:01:16 <electrohead> :P
15:01:18 <Halcyon> Yes but you COULD take it to bed
15:01:26 <Halcyon> And finally sit down and watch something with me cunt
15:01:27 <Halcyon> :P
15:01:29 <electrohead> Like my alienware? Yeah
15:01:32 <electrohead> lol
15:04:15 <electrohead> The alienware has a working battery, but I never took that back because of all of the wires and connections to it
15:10:36 <Halcyon> And I imagine it would be quite heavy and bulky?
15:13:59 * T3sl4 noogies Halcyon
15:14:14 <Halcyon> Yo :)
15:14:18 <electrohead> eh, it's just more of the hassle
15:14:28 <electrohead> plus, it's the main 'controller' within my setup

15:17:16 <Halcyon> electrohead, wanna watch an episode of something?
15:18:11 <electrohead> definitely not tonight
15:18:24 <electrohead> once I wrap up what I'm doing, I'm going straight to bed
15:20:02 <Halcyon> You said that ages ago
15:23:45 <electrohead> yeah I know
15:23:52 <electrohead> I'm trying to hit a good stopping point
15:23:57 <electrohead> that's what she said
15:24:51 <Halcyon> :P
15:24:58 * electrohead fondles Halcyon's boobs
15:25:34 <Halcyon> Oi
15:25:39 <Halcyon> I don't have boobs you bitch
15:31:05 <electrohead> I know

15:31:49 <Halcyon> Bahaha
15:32:16 <Halcyon> Yay generated 30.8 kWh so far today
15:34:20 <steve30> its getting really annoying wearing these broken glasses
15:34:47 * Halcyon hugs steve30
15:35:13 <steve30> We generated about 13kWh today (it was sunny)
15:36:20 <electrohead> are those good numbers?
15:36:30 <steve30> for me, yes
15:36:51 <Halcyon> Could be better, we are at the start of spring
15:37:05 <Halcyon> I've only used 7.2 kWh off the grid so far today
15:38:15 <T3sl4> Halcyon: 31kWh is a pretty big flex
15:39:12 <Halcyon> I've going to drop to just about nothing from now on though. The sun is behind the trees, at 620 watts now
15:40:59 <steve30> I have just received £65 in feed in tariff payments for the last few months though :)
15:43:27 <Halcyon> YAY!

15:46:36 <electrohead> there you go, send me some underwear
15:46:44 <electrohead> it'll go on my head, while I'm eating your meat
15:46:53 <Halcyon> I'm not washing them though
15:47:00 * electrohead shrugs
15:47:05 <Halcyon> HAHAHAHA
15:47:06 <electrohead> I'll have a few drinks beforehand
15:47:12 <electrohead> cheers.
15:48:02 <Halcyon> I'll just go out front and fill the rest of the box with leaves and twigs

21:33:09 <Ampera> how are you doing Halcyon
21:35:15 <Halcyon> Good
21:35:19 <Halcyon> How are you my love?
21:35:36 <Ampera> power flicked out 4 times in a row yesterday
21:35:46 <Ampera> so I just had to reboot and reenable virtualization extensions
21:35:50 <Halcyon> Did you yell at it?
21:35:55 <Ampera> since my EFI will reset itself if it loses power while booting
21:39:18 <Ampera> it was almost as fun as the time we had a 90VAC brownout
21:39:50 <Halcyon> I'm still chasing what is tripping my RCD
21:39:56 <Ampera> still?
21:40:03 <Halcyon> Happened 3 times today then magically came good after 10-15 minutes
21:40:04 <Halcyon> Yep
21:40:20 <Ampera> we have the simple solution of not having whole house/whole circuit GFCI's
21:40:26 <Halcyon> Nothing for a week then all of a sudden, it starts again
21:40:43 <Halcyon> It's mandatory here. Every circuit has them
21:40:58 <Ampera> afaik GFCI breakers are dummy expensive here
21:41:06 <Ampera> I think they're mandating AFCI breakers in some places now though
21:41:09 <Halcyon> That being said, it doesn't take the whole house out, just part of it
21:41:14 <Ampera> which are also dummy expensive, on the order of 100$/breaker
21:47:48 <Ampera> looks like AFCIs are actually cheaper now
21:48:05 <Ampera> I recall them being that expensive earlier in the year, but home depot has them for 40$/breaker
21:48:18 <Ampera> which is still obnoxiously expensive compared to traditional breakers, but not the worst ever
21:49:25 <Ampera> dual function (AFCI/CAFCI and GFCI) are 50$/breaker

23:13:43 <Ampera> K, is there such thing as a good pun?
23:13:58 <K> yes
23:14:04 * electrohead spins it around
23:14:09 <K> it happens when i make one.
23:14:31 * arch pours some water on K to make him explode
23:15:03 <Ampera> Now that's just pure assium.

23:24:22 <Ampera> though we are all gits

23:55:23 <Nothing\> man, i dunno how long it's been since i've shaved but i'm actually starting to form a handlebar mustache
23:55:54 <Nothing\> usually i keep it trimmed so it won't go in my mouth but this time i just let it grow and pushed it off to the sides
23:56:10 * Ampera grabs Nothing\'s handlebars and rides him like a BMX bike
23:56:15 <Nothing\> another month or so and i'll be able to wax it into shape
23:56:23 <Nothing\> Ampera, mustache rides are free lol
23:56:40 <Ampera> how are you doing
23:56:41 <Nothing\> or as i call it
23:56:43 <Nothing\> my coochie duster
23:56:46 <Nothing\> i'm doing alright
23:56:55 <Nothing\> woke up depressed, but i'm feeling better now
23:57:10 <Ampera> depression is nice
23:57:13 <Ampera> it's not, but that felt amusing to say
23:57:30 <Nothing\> think i'm quitting weed again, it's getting to the point where it's too much of a pain in the ass to smoke that it just doesn't seem worth it
23:57:37 <Nothing\> not to mention spending like $150 a week
23:57:40 <Ampera> Is THC a depressant?
23:57:41 <Ampera> iirc it is
23:57:46 <Nothing\> it can go either way actually
23:57:51 <Nothing\> it's more of a mood enhancer
23:57:59 <Nothing\> so if you're anxious, it can make you more anxious
23:58:07 <Nothing\> or if you're happy, it'll make you more happy
23:58:17 <Nothing\> or it can go the other way
23:58:23 <Ampera> I find tea has been helping me a lot. Just having a mild stimulant has been reducing the impact of my depression
23:58:29 <Nothing\> really it's a craps shoot and i think a lot of the medicinal uses are bullshit
23:58:34 <arch> THICC = anti-depressant
23:58:45 <Ampera> doesn't actually solve any problems, but it's nice to not feel completely drained every day
23:58:57 <Nothing\> arch, that's what they say, but if that was the case i wouldn't have suffered from depression for 20 years while smoking weed daily
23:59:28 <Nothing\> but of course, one anectdotal report is hardly conclusive evidence, but i've looked at the evidence at least for CBD and apparently it's really sparse
23:59:40 <Ampera> That's what happens when you enter the realm of psychological medicine, and realize almost everything is anecdotal
