02:13:09 <MrMobodies> I know that ups
02:13:53 <LordGeir> I don't know if it works yet (just picked it up)
02:14:17 <LordGeir> The funny thing is that I was looking at buying a UPS on Friday, but didn't, and today I got one for free
02:14:25 <MrMobodies> sc 450/620/ pro650
02:14:39 <MrMobodies> I have the sc620 and pro650
02:14:55 <MrMobodies> no problems with them but replaced a battery last month going for over 3 years
02:15:08 <MrMobodies> I'd prefer the single battery units
02:15:24 <MrMobodies> with the duals ones, when one breaks have to replace the other
02:15:36 <MrMobodies> is that compaq
02:15:41 <MrMobodies> a g60 series?
02:15:54 <MrMobodies> oh no
02:15:59 <MrMobodies> I remember it
02:16:02 <MrMobodies> silvery touchpad
02:16:08 <MrMobodies> with the flash media buttons
02:16:21 <MrMobodies> and the media remote in the expresscard slot on the right
02:16:28 <MrMobodies> oh left sorry
02:18:36 <LordGeir> Correct, This is actually the second one I get of those exact ones (compaq)
02:18:57 <LordGeir> It's an OK thing, but this one has no battery or charger
02:19:13 <LordGeir> The UPS 99% needs new batteries
02:28:37 <MrMobodies> That silver laptop
02:28:43 <MrMobodies> did it looks a bit like this one?

02:28:59 <MrMobodies> oh nevermind
02:29:08 <MrMobodies> I realized it was a different shape
02:29:37 <LordGeir> It's very close
02:30:01 <MrMobodies> OOh I see another one underneath
02:30:55 <LordGeir> I'll take a couple of better pics of it in a minute; (The one underneath looks in horrible shape, cosmetically)

03:04:40 <LordGeir> That IBM thing is looking real good
03:11:04 <MrMobodies> Interesting
03:11:27 <MrMobodies> I was right, it was a G60 series

03:14:01 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/2DXIwHC.jpeg
03:14:38 <LordGeir> I saw that damage when I picked them up and I was tempted to ask him what he did to his stuff...
03:14:56 <LordGeir> He had been storing everything in his garage, which was full of stuff.
03:15:26 <LordGeir> He collects older computers, but was now focusing on 80s and earlier
03:16:20 <MrMobodies> that's nice

03:24:33 <LordGeir> Need to sort out the busted pins, but should be a fun experiment (with an Arduino)
03:33:10 <MrMobodies> I remember something like in one of Dave's videos
03:33:21 <MrMobodies> many years ago
03:33:29 <MrMobodies> with neon? backliught
03:34:00 <MrMobodies> he said something about the driver being serial
03:36:06 <LordGeir> Yeah, I saw that video a while back. Think it was a vacuum fluorescent something
03:46:42 <rust1> mooornings
03:48:56 <rust1> heh, have you been on a bin raid?
03:50:39 <LordGeir> Sort of :P
03:52:11 <rust1> sort of me to, but it was my bin, and also known as the storage room downstairs
03:53:46 <MrMobodies> not often I have seen anything worth taking in dumpsters
03:53:54 <MrMobodies> they wre just mainly rubble
03:54:05 <rust1> MrMobodies sorry I did not get anything done yesterday, but I found a t500, that I think I will use
03:54:25 <MrMobodies> I did take ones some old RS rubber cable tubing and a midi keyboard that worked fine
03:54:34 <MrMobodies> ooh
03:55:44 <rust1> I am a little bit sceptical, as if I remember correctly, this one had some issues with windows 10. loading the wrong graphics driver or something, so you only get a black screen
03:57:22 <MrMobodies> ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650
03:57:29 <MrMobodies> actuall
03:57:39 <MrMobodies> I set something just for that proble
03:57:43 <MrMobodies> on my copy
03:57:51 <MrMobodies> before it starts there is a boot screen
03:57:54 <MrMobodies> Press F8
03:58:00 <MrMobodies> another menu should appear in blue
03:58:06 <MrMobodies> select safe mode
03:58:13 <MrMobodies> I think it is f4
03:58:52 <MrMobodies> so you have at least some chance of loading it in safe mode
03:59:26 <rust1> that should work, yes.
03:59:46 <MrMobodies> I found this suggesting it has switchable graphics

04:00:25 <rust1> yes, there was an older driver you had to use, to make it work
04:00:35 <MrMobodies> aaah driver issues
04:00:53 <MrMobodies> they always seem to break or ruin something in the later releases
04:00:59 <rust1> newer drivers did not support it properly, for some reason
04:01:12 <MrMobodies> aaah that would be the vista class drivers

04:02:55 <rust1> part of me wants to see if I can find a 64 bit processor for the old core duo box. I like that machine, but it has the slowest cpu I have ever had, and only 32 bit
04:03:11 <jaymax> https://chat.chinwag.im/files/5c036254-fd62-4025-a8ce-471a6b001723/r2GsTnW6R62Wo1UC5ifJsQ.jpg
04:03:22 <jaymax> Obsessive?
04:03:29 <MrMobodies> I might have someting
04:03:33 <MrMobodies> I have a box full of them
04:03:38 <MrMobodies> is it for a socket 775?
04:03:50 <rust1> I have to take it apart, and have a look.
04:04:16 <rust1> I am almost sure I have a core2duo, that will fit. but I do not remember anything about this machine
04:04:36 <MrMobodies> I'd check the motherboard model/serial
04:04:52 <MrMobodies> see what it was sold and what cpu's if no manuals can be found
04:05:10 <rust1> eh, it needs to be opened up anyway. it needs cleaning and stuff
04:08:57 <rust1> ok, maybe that one is not a good option for windows, it only supports 2x1Gb of ram, it says
04:09:50 <MrMobodies> I don't think that is enough for that copy
04:10:01 <MrMobodies> at bare minimum 4gb I think
04:10:07 <rust1> no, I do not think so either
04:10:13 <MrMobodies> where 30 - 50% used
04:10:19 <rust1> or any other copy, newer than xp
04:10:44 <MrMobodies> Vista barely run smoothly with 2gb
04:11:07 <MrMobodies> I good oems them bundling 3gb
04:11:30 <MrMobodies> but in the local high street shops they were ordering them with 1 or 2gb
04:11:53 <MrMobodies> and the customers would come around and complain how slow it was and had it for aome years but didnt use it because of that
04:12:09 <MrMobodies> but that wouldn't matter as they'd have to adjust the indexing
04:12:13 <MrMobodies> or turn off windows search
04:12:17 <MrMobodies> that would kill it too
04:12:50 <MrMobodies> minimum 4gb preferable 8gb
04:14:36 <rust1> heh, this one is well stuffed https://ibb.co/WB01yWX

04:17:19 <MrMobodies> that fan looks good though
04:17:24 <MrMobodies> to let the hot air our
04:20:18 <rust1> ppga478, it says the socket is

04:26:47 <rust1> meh, it is ok.
04:26:57 <rust1> it is not very important
04:30:31 <MrMobodies> what speed is it?
04:30:44 <rust1> 1.6
04:30:58 <MrMobodies> I have a box of cpu's somewhere that are 2,3 2.4ghz that I could send you
04:31:11 <MrMobodies> but my concern is that tiny power supply
04:31:25 <rust1> yes. it is limited.
04:32:29 <LordGeir> About a month ago I got a Compaq laptop for free, with a crappy 1.7GHz Celeron and 1GB RAM. It was supposed to run Vista, but...
04:32:34 <MrMobodies> https://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Pentium_4/Intel-Pentium 4 1.6 GHz - RK80532PC025512 (BX80532PC1600D).html
04:32:34 <EEVBot> [url] Access denied | www.cpu-world.com
04:32:40 <MrMobodies> Thermal Design Power ? 38 Watt (1.475V)
04:32:40 <MrMobodies> 46.8 Watt (1.5V)
04:33:05 <MrMobodies> suppose to run Vista with 1gb
04:33:11 <rust1> but. I think I maybe will just leave it alone, I guess maybe a 2ghz would be a good upgrade, but... I am not sure I want to upgrade to a pentiun4?
04:33:18 <MrMobodies> I have seen it struggle with 2gb with the earch indexer switched off
04:33:36 <LordGeir> I dug out a Core 2 Duo 2.3GHz T8300 (same socket) and swapped it; Smooth as silk. Also, the RAM was supposed to max at 2, but it's running 4 just fine
04:34:00 <rust1> I tend to like core2duo machines
04:34:08 <MrMobodies> it doesn't look good on that table

04:34:24 <MrMobodies> that takes the lowest power
04:34:37 <MrMobodies> everything else takes up significant power
04:34:54 <LordGeir> The Core 2 Duos for laptops are actually very nice. I really like them on older machines
04:35:03 <rust1> yes
04:35:40 <MrMobodies> I have a few lying around somewhere
04:35:47 <MrMobodies> I was given them
04:35:51 <rust1> hmm, do you have anything you could plop a core2quad, q6600 in
04:35:54 <MrMobodies> batteries no good though
04:36:10 <MrMobodies> a board?
04:36:25 <rust1> I have a cpu here, but nothing to use it for
04:36:40 <rust1> so, if anyone wants it, it is here
04:36:47 <MrMobodies> I'd send you stuff other but might cost more with the weight
04:37:07 <rust1> yes, it is fine, I hvae enough stuff, really
04:39:01 <rust1> LordGeir do you need a core2quad for anything. I have no use for it, I think, unless it fits in a p4 box
04:39:20 <rust1> ok, what is this other thing...
04:40:06 <LordGeir> I'll have to have a once over on the stuff I got today, to see what it is and what sockets they are
04:40:10 <rust1> i7 2680, or 2600.
04:42:07 <LordGeir> Been completely drained today so just running out picking the stuff up was a struggle. Tomorrow is a busy day in the morning, but hopefully I'll have some time and energy in the afternoon
04:43:15 <rust1> there is no rush. just keep it in memory that ther are here, if you want them.
04:43:37 <LordGeir> Awesome :D
04:44:32 <LordGeir> I forgot to mention to you yesterday that if you need parts for some small engines or something, I have quite a lot of different parts in my bins. A lot of brand new parts, Briggs & Stratton and Honda mostly.
04:44:48 <LordGeir> Filters, carb kits, gaskets, +++++
04:45:37 <rust1> cool. I think i am good for now, but I will ask if i need something.
04:46:06 <rust1> I hope you have stocked up on tecumseh floats, lol
04:46:24 Join: arch_meme ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
04:46:52 <LordGeir> Hehe, I have a whole bunch of the most used standard carb rebuilt kits, with needles, gaskets, floats and bowls
04:47:26 <rust1> it seems like every time I see a tecumseh, they have a leaky float
04:48:16 <LordGeir> I don't see too many Tecumsehs around here, but it's usually either a float or a bad coil (which I also have in stock)
04:50:24 <rust1> if I ever get the car stuff out of the garage, the plan is to build a little garden tractor. I think I will use the 13hp china motor on that. I do not know why anyone would want to know that, but, lol
04:51:36 <LordGeir> Oooh! I have been thinking about building a garden tractor too. I have a pretty large garden, and I could also use it for removing snow in the winter
04:51:43 <rust1> yes
04:52:05 <LordGeir> I would like a 18HP Briggs, or a Kohler, but Kohlers are rare in Norway for some reason
04:52:07 <rust1> I have almost no garden, but I just want a tractor, lol
04:52:45 <LordGeir> Be sweet to run down to Kiwi on the home built tractor ;)
04:52:56 <rust1> when we lived in sandefjord, we had a... toro? mower tractor. it had a kohler v2
04:53:55 <rust1> it never had any issues, with the engine. it ate belts a lot, and those were not cheap
04:54:13 <LordGeir> Toros are one of the few brands I've seen with Kohler over here. But I see maybe one or two a year, if that
04:55:22 <LordGeir> My current MTD B/130 used to chew belts, but I bought a complete set of Kevlar reinforced belts from Germany and haven't changed belts since (that was 2 or 3 years ago)
04:55:59 <LordGeir> Belt set in Norway (non-Kevlar) 1900 something kroner
04:56:04 <rust1> oh well. I am always looking at rear axles. they are always big and american, or expensive, because people think old volvo axles are amazing
04:56:35 <LordGeir> Kevlar reinforced from Germany, 945, plus 25% tax on import. Total just under 1300kr
04:58:30 <LordGeir> Volvo did make some bullet proof axles back in the day, and also the B20 engine which is one of my favorite European engines
04:58:57 <rust1> it is so good now, with this tiny lawn, I have to push the mower, but it is fine, I can do that for 10 minutes
05:00:17 <rust1> oh, there is nothing wrong with the axles, it is just not 2000kr good axle, plus new brakes, and so on.

05:00:39 <rust1> I guess someone pays that, so they are worth it
05:00:48 <Nothing\> rust1, i disagree!
05:01:02 <rust1> you would,
05:01:05 <Nothing\> lol
05:01:14 <Nothing\> what are you talking about? mints on hotel pillows?
05:01:20 <rust1> yes,
05:01:25 <rust1> how did you know?
05:01:28 <Nothing\> super
05:01:30 <LordGeir> The prices of "vintage" cars have shot through the roof.
05:01:52 <LordGeir> I mean, the beetle (old version) sells for 40-50000kr easy
05:02:17 <rust1> yes, there was not too long ago, that you could go pick up a free lada, if you took the other one as well. now you have to pay 35+ for a well rusted out one
05:02:27 <Nothing\> my masters thesis was on the juxtaposition of confectionary and textiles in our service industries and its effects on local economic growth
05:04:35 <Nothing\> argh rash on my scalp
05:04:43 <Nothing\> i've really gotta hit this thing hard
05:04:51 <Nothing\> i'm reluctant to cut my hair until it goes away
05:05:56 <Nothing\> it's just funny cuz i used to make fun of a kid in school because he had a nasty rash on his scalp from psoriasis and then in my teens i developed something similar but not psoriasis thankfully. I read some nasty things about that.
05:06:01 <rust1> I think I will go see if I can find some more computers in the weird room
05:06:03 <Nothing\> apparently it can cause arthritis
05:06:12 <Nothing\> and it's a full on autoimmune disorder
05:06:26 <Nothing\> rust1, the rust collection?
05:06:38 <rust1> no, the other pile
05:06:51 <Nothing\> ahh the rustable collection
05:07:06 <rust1> the not yet rusty heap of crap, yes
05:07:14 <Nothing\> lol yeah that was the sentiment
05:07:19 <Nothing\> future rust
05:07:41 <Nothing\> i bought a game on Steam called Rust. But I never wound up playing it.
05:07:56 <Nothing\> as soon as I found out it was online multiplayer i had no interest.

05:08:09 <Nothing\> i play games to avoid people, not to interact with them.
05:08:30 <Nothing\> and multiplayer games were always better when... well when i had people to play them with
05:08:38 <Nothing\> but when you're in the same room as your friends, too.
05:09:08 <Nothing\> ah i miss those days. Playing 4 player Goldeneye on split screen mode on a 40in tv
05:09:30 <Nothing\> we were well off, so my dad bought the biggest CRTs he could afford
05:09:50 <Nothing\> lol the TV in our living room was probably 45in and the thing was bigger than i was
05:10:15 <Nothing\> if it were a hollow cube i could have crawled inside of it
05:10:54 <Nothing\> i also remember it had picture in a picture, whihc i don't get why they don't do that on TVs these days.
05:11:04 <Nothing\> I dunno how they woulda done that with analog back then
05:11:40 <Nothing\> you could even do this mode where you could watch 9 channels at once split screen. But of course you only got audio from one and couldn't pick which one. But I can see so much more versatility from something like that these days.
05:12:11 <Nothing\> Or you could do split screen with one channel on each side of the tv. Or just a smaller screen inside the main screen.
05:13:23 <Nothing\> the split screen thing would be really useful for 4k displays and like that. Especially if you use a computer. I could have my computer on one half and whatever I'm watching on the other half. ANd with it being a widescreen display, the size of them would be no smaller than an SD display
05:13:48 <Nothing\> oh you know what's weird
05:14:36 <Nothing\> i was picking up that signal the other day from that guy's shortwave radio station on my switch again. So I tried replacing my headphones with a crystal earpiece, and lost the signal as soon as i did.
05:14:57 <Nothing\> So even the headphones and extension cord are acting as part of the tuned circuit to pick it up
05:15:12 <Nothing\> which happens to be at the exact same frequency the guy a block away happens to be transmitting at.
05:16:33 <Nothing\> i've determined it's the headphones and extension cord, plus something in my switch... I think anyways. Because it stops working when the switch isn't in the cradle. So that tells me it needs to be grounded. But I guess the makeshift receiver could be getting a ground path through some sort of coupling in the switch without actually using anything in it to receive the signal
05:16:58 <Nothing\> all I know is I don't know nothing...
05:17:06 <Nothing\> (good song)
05:18:41 <Nothing\> alright guess i'll play smash bros

06:20:07 <Ampera> how are you doing Nothing\
06:20:21 <Nothing\> little 1/2in cubes of charcoal for hookahs, but they're way overpriced
06:20:25 <Nothing\> i'm doing well, thanks for asking
06:20:35 <Nothing\> i managed to poop godo this morning so it was a godo start
06:20:42 <Nothing\> not ideal, but well enough.
06:21:37 <Nothing\> lol i've been trying this cannabis oil lately and i discovered last night it's bullshit. But I also took about an ounce and a half of some sort of cooking oil so needless to say laxatives weren't necessary today.
06:22:34 <Nothing\> But yeah either I've got the biggest tolerance to THC in history, or that stuff has very little or no THC in it. Which I knew something was up with it when it didn't turn the beam of my green laser red the way other oils (cannabis or tobacco) have
06:22:54 <Nothing\> actually even canola and other cooking oils did it. But this stuff didn't for some reason.
06:23:38 <Nothing\> and yeah, working my way up slowly, 5ml one night, then 10, then 15, 20, finally the entire 40ml bottle, which is close to 1.5oz and still nothing.
06:24:02 <Nothing\> but live and learn
06:24:12 <Nothing\> and learn i have, i onlywasted my money on two of those things.
06:26:11 <Nothing\> lol trying to play final fantasy iv again. I stopped because I got tired of fruitlessly trying to farm for an endgame item.
06:28:41 <Nothing\> Ampera, anything new on your end?
06:32:11 <Nothing\> how interesting
06:32:17 <Nothing\> =P
06:45:04 <rust1> I found desktop I can test stuff on. Now I just need to fins a sata cable....
06:45:40 <rust1> I think the stinkpad can go back to the shelf
06:47:33 <Nothing\> mmm fresh black cherries
06:48:12 <rust1> we used to have a chetty tree here. then grandpa was told to trim it a bit. which he did
06:48:24 <Nothing\> rust1, i was just thinking the other day, I've got the makings of a whole computer in my closet, save for an HDD. I should buy a 500gb one for like $70 (I assume), throw linux on it and set up a computer in my room
06:48:46 <rust1> a couple years later, mom asked him to trim it again, so he did, flush to the ground, lol
06:49:00 <rust1> yeah, why not?
06:49:07 <Nothing\> or, i could figure out a way to put windows on it and give it to my mum for watching movies and streaming netflix in her room
06:49:17 <rust1> what sort of machine is it?
06:49:30 <Nothing\> she can only do it on her blu-ray right now which tells her half the stuff i give her on flash drives is corrupt
06:49:54 <Nothing\> rust1, some janky piece of crap some guy conned me into buying. I forget. It's not the best but not the worst.
06:50:02 <Nothing\> it'll handle what she needs though that's for sure.
06:50:33 <rust1> I think you want a 1Tb drive, at least the wife manages to fill that in no time, and that is probably about the smallest you will find these days
06:50:54 <rust1> but, yes, is it a p4, or...
06:51:00 <Nothing\> oh no
06:51:03 <Nothing\> it's a real computer
06:51:19 <Nothing\> some sort of quad core i think
06:51:40 <rust1> I liked my p4 machine. it was just... not quite up to date any more
06:52:16 <rust1> ok, just put it together, and start it up from a live usb, and see what it is?
06:53:14 <Nothing\> heh yeah my mum's been wanting an android box for a while now but i figure this is pretty much the makings of one anyways
06:53:28 <Nothing\> at least for what she would use it for. She wouldn't use the apps much at all.
06:55:29 <rust1> yea, I have no idea why anyone would want android on a computer
07:00:13 <rust1> gtx760, that should be ok to run a non-gaming thing, right?
07:02:09 <rust1> i remember putting this machine together. kid was so upset, because it does not look gamer enough. It is in an old compaq case
07:02:18 <rust1> or hp, whatever

09:00:10 * Ampera beyond chickens rust_collector
09:01:17 <rust_collector> I guess I would try a piece of chicken, If I was over there. the stuff we get here is crap, or at least was.
09:01:32 <Ampera> all of our KFC restaurants are crap
09:01:45 <Ampera> but fried chicken is one of those foods that can do better the greasier the restaurant
09:02:04 <rust_collector> the restaurant was also crap, but the chicken was pretty horrible
09:03:27 <rust_collector> ohwell. so server is more or less done?

13:13:24 <T3sl4> ye
13:13:24 <arch> or milled it?
13:13:26 <arch> oo
13:13:34 <arch> looks good for an etched board. what kinda paper and printer did you use?
13:13:48 <T3sl4> got the layer alignment awfully close for once
13:14:07 <T3sl4> think that was just any old laserjet set to max density, forget if i had to sharpie over it any
13:14:11 <T3sl4> the wide pours probably
13:14:23 <T3sl4> tracks are 20 mil so it's pretty coarse
13:14:53 <arch> i use 0.5mm as my standard track width for low current/signal traces
13:15:04 <T3sl4> yeah
13:16:31 <arch> is there a reason for spacing out passives, like for example, on the bottom left corner, where the RC parallel caps are?
13:16:55 <T3sl4> no
13:17:04 <arch> ahh. well, it looks pretty good
13:17:13 <T3sl4> just a very relaxed layout, probably didn't want to fuss with it any more than necessary

19:46:14 <K> about to have a meeting
19:46:27 <K> and it is raining
19:46:33 <Halcyon> :(
19:47:51 <Halcyon> It's cold here
19:47:56 <Halcyon> (again)
19:48:08 <Halcyon> Last month of winter
19:53:20 <K> how cold?
19:53:44 <Halcyon> It's currently 4 degrees C where I am
19:54:12 <K> eew.
19:54:18 <Halcyon> I don't like it
19:54:31 <steve30> Halcyon, I went out alphabet souping on saturday again
19:54:44 <K> otoh, was at annual hometown fair this weekend, at night it was 9C
19:55:01 <Halcyon> Oh how did that go Steve?
19:55:17 <K> is that safe to google?
19:56:19 <steve30> Someone had a Progress Pride flag with a Trans flag attached to it :S
19:57:44 <Halcyon> Why is there so much of that LGBTQIXYZ++ going on over there Steve?
19:58:19 <steve30> Halcyon, I've been trying to get to as many pride marches as I can with the camera
19:58:56 <K> ah that alphabet soup.
19:59:02 <steve30> So far I've done york, worksop, sheffield and Nottingham. Doncaster is this coming Saturday, and Leeds on Sunday (although I might not bother with Leeds)
19:59:21 <Halcyon> But what's with the pride marches? Or is it just a fun day out?
19:59:40 <steve30> Don't you have them over there?
19:59:55 <Halcyon> We have mardi gras
19:59:58 <Halcyon> That's about it
20:01:02 <steve30> Well, they started in the 70s/80s to campaign for gay rights, and have continued since
20:07:29 <Halcyon> So it's like little mardi gras all over the place
20:08:27 <steve30> yeah
