04:36:07 <arch> digikey's site is crapping out lately
04:36:16 <rust4> unheat pillow
04:36:57 <arch> are the squishy pads electrically conductive?
04:37:11 <arch> im thinking of putting thermal pads underneath the PCB i'm working on
04:37:13 <rust4> I do not think so?
04:37:25 <rust4> maybe there are different materials?
04:38:09 <arch> yeah, like silicone, etc. silicone is nonconductive

09:17:06 <Ampera> How precise do wipers need to be to fit your car? If I just get the same length wipers will they probably work?
09:17:16 <Ampera> I'm trying to find bosch wipers that fit my Impreza, but they seem to just not exist
09:17:40 <Ampera> there's basically no options out there it seems, and considering it's a new car, I'm wonder if most manufacturers just haven't updated their databases or something
09:19:28 <jaymax> I think so long as the hardware that attaches them are the same, that's all that matters.
09:19:30 <rust4> what style of wiper arms does it have? if it has a hook sort of end, you can probably ask for an universal fit with hook, and the length
09:19:44 <Ampera> that's what I can buy
09:20:26 <rust4> last week, I got a set of bosch wipers, and they came with 4 different adapter things, and none of them made any sense to me
09:20:43 <Ampera> strangely, I can find a rear wiper that is in all the databases
09:20:46 <Ampera> H306E
09:21:55 <rust4> https://d397t8flcllxaw.cloudfront.net/production/catalog/product/cache/4/thumbnail/1200x/17f82f742ffe127f42dca9de82fb58b1/s/o/soa591b716_2022-2.jpg
09:22:06 <rust4> is that the style you have?
09:22:27 <Ampera> probably
09:22:31 <Ampera> actually no
09:22:33 <Ampera> mine are j-hook
09:28:37 <jaymax> It is my understanding that j-hook replacement wipes are interchangeable.
09:28:59 <Ampera> going for these bosch ones
09:29:11 <Ampera> worst case they don't fit, amazon doesn't take them back, and I've learned something
09:29:33 <rust4> yeah, they are almost universal
10:12:50 <Halcyon> Morning fruit flans
10:33:11 * Ampera kisses Halcyon
10:33:12 <Ampera> <3
10:36:22 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera :)

12:27:57 <Ampera> blech
12:28:00 * electrohead pins Ampera's cock to the wall

12:28:02 <electrohead> aha!
12:28:05 <Ampera> electrohead, what cock
12:28:20 <electrohead> oh that's right, it's too small to pin to the wall
12:28:22 <electrohead> ahahahaha
12:28:29 * electrohead gets T3sl4 to film, and runs away

15:26:22 <arch> hmm should i connect all analog ground to the main power ground?
15:26:44 <arch> there's 6 logic ground pins, which are really small pins
15:26:54 <arch> and 3 very large, power ground pins
15:27:33 <arch> for a backplane connector*
15:56:25 <arch> but internally, within the psu itself, all analog ground connect to the power ground

23:10:51 <Nothing\> does anyone know when that comet is supposed to be best visible? I can't seem to find it anywhere online. Just that it's making its nearest pass to Earth on the 1st and already made its nearest pass to the sun
23:12:39 <Nothing\> I would assume its brightest point would be at some point between the two when the solar winds are strong enough to cause a large coma and make it more visible, but it's close enough to Earth to see clearly and far enough away from the sun that we can see it during twilight hours.
23:13:08 <Nothing\> Not that it matters. We've had England-Weather for the last 6 weeks. Cold, wet and overcast.
23:14:29 <Nothing\> last comet I saw was hyakutake in like 97 so it's been a long time coming. And I was born at entirely the wrong time to see halley's comet. 1 year before it came. And I'll probably be gone 1 year before it comes next time.
23:14:53 <Nothing\> anyway enough rambling. I'd best seek out provisions for the day.
23:15:15 <Nothing\> but yeah if any of you knows, I'd appreciate it. Or even knows where I could find the info.
23:17:10 <Nothing\> OH SHIT
23:17:17 <Nothing\> wikipedia made some "ease of use" improvements
23:17:28 <Nothing\> i dreaded this day for years
23:18:02 <Nothing\> I was wondering why the sidebar is about twice as wide as it needs to be.
23:18:42 <Ampera> I wonder how long it will take him to figure out he can log in and change the theme :)
23:18:48 <Nothing\> also the actual page text only uses like 1/2 of the available area.

23:19:25 <Nothing\> ahead of est
23:19:32 <jaymax> Thats newfieland
23:19:42 <jaymax> well, 90 minutes ahead of you shits
23:19:45 <Nothing\> ah wasn't sure if you were part of that.
23:19:53 <jaymax> I'm 60 minutes ahjead
23:19:58 <Nothing\> ah I thought that mighta been the case.
23:20:06 <jaymax> AST
23:20:12 <Nothing\> for some reason when I went to cuba they were 1 hour ahead.
23:20:18 <jaymax> Same TZ as Caracas
23:20:43 <Nothing\> i'm pretty sure it was ahead. Coulda been dominican though. They're further east.
23:21:07 <Nothing\> i'd have to look it up
23:21:15 <jaymax> It's 20-after-coconut here anyway.
23:21:25 <Nothing\> lol yeah i've been up since 6
23:21:34 <Nothing\> but i went to bed at 7 so it's okay i guess
23:21:41 <Nothing\> though i didn't actually fall asleep until 3am
23:22:06 <jaymax> UTC or GTFO anyway LOL
23:22:35 <Nothing\> i dunno how i do that or what i'm doing the whole time. I go to bed and just fiddle fart around in my room for countless hours doing nothing in particular. I have no tv, no computer nothing of distraction there save for some books. But somehow I kill so much time without even realizing it.
23:22:52 <Nothing\> jaymax, yeah I'm starting to prefer UTC just because it makes keeping track of some events easier
23:22:56 <Nothing\> like rocket launches
23:23:27 <jaymax> The only thing UTC ruins is one Dolly Parton song.
23:23:56 <Nothing\> mmmm pure coffee cream lol
23:24:16 <Nothing\> next to milk this is the best thing to settle this weird stomach pain i get when it's empty
23:24:45 <Nothing\> jaymax, i saw my first ever live dolly parton performance just the other day actually.
23:24:55 <Nothing\> it was weird. I think I saw the future.
23:25:50 <Nothing\> she was singing the hymn "tell it on the mountain" if you're familiar, apparently it's a christmas song? I never knew. But it was for this tiny venue with maybe 30-50 rich, white people sitting in a room that looked like a chalet or something.
23:26:05 <Nothing\> I thought to myself "pfft not a single black person in the bunch. Typical"
23:26:24 <Nothing\> then all of a sudden an entire congregation of those singing black church people came out to join Dolly singing lol
23:26:30 <Nothing\> almost as if on cue
23:26:45 <MrMobodies> Hello
23:26:51 <Nothing\> but still, the fact that they were performing and not in the audience still doesn't sit right
23:26:56 <Nothing\> heya MrMobodies how ya doing bud?
23:27:04 <MrMobodies> I got this I7 laptop given to me many years ago that I have been using for certain tasks
23:27:09 <MrMobodies> and a few virtual machines
23:27:11 <Nothing\> lucky
23:27:18 <Nothing\> sounds like it would get mighty hot though
23:27:25 <MrMobodies> it has a i7 7500 cpu
23:27:35 <MrMobodies> no battery
23:27:38 <Nothing\> i'm not familiar with the i7 models
23:27:41 <MrMobodies> but the problem with it
23:27:46 <Nothing\> eh i used a laptop with no battery for years
23:27:48 <MrMobodies> it has a crapp 100mb realtek nic
23:27:50 <Nothing\> it was kinda funny though
23:28:04 <MrMobodies> it was given to me because I couldn't ger a battery for it in 2019
23:28:08 <MrMobodies> despite being 2 years old
23:28:15 <MrMobodies> apparently a fire risk
23:28:20 <Nothing\> long story short, police raided me with a search warrant and seized all of my electronics and other stuff, arrested me on multiple felonies, etc. Fun times.
23:28:27 <MrMobodies> given to me by a customer
23:28:35 <MrMobodies> broen hard drive
23:28:43 <MrMobodies> but noticed battery swelled
23:28:49 <MrMobodies> a lithoum polymer
23:28:52 <MrMobodies> inside
23:28:57 <MrMobodies> really big
23:28:57 <Nothing\> but anyways when they were looking at my laptop while it was still plugged in, first they couldn't log in because the keyboard was set to dvorak and they didn't know to just tell the thing to show them what's being typed for the password.
23:29:06 <Nothing\> they even had a computer forensics expert there who didn't know this
23:29:20 <Nothing\> so they decided to take it with to do a memory dump at the station
23:29:31 <Nothing\> but as soon as they unplugged it it turned off, so no more memory lol
23:29:38 <Nothing\> and these are forensics experts
23:29:50 <MrMobodies> aaah they don't know how to change language
23:29:51 <Nothing\> oh man it made me chuckle reading the report
23:30:07 <Nothing\> they didn't even know how to show the characters hidden in the password field
23:30:16 <MrMobodies> bet they have a language of their own when it comes to forensics
23:30:21 <Nothing\> they kept accusing me of witholding the password from them
23:30:24 <Nothing\> i gave it to them
23:30:29 <Nothing\> they just didn't know how to type it in properly
23:30:35 <MrMobodies> aah
23:30:46 <MrMobodies> about that laptop I got with the crappy network controller
23:30:48 <MrMobodies> I found this
23:30:49 <MrMobodies> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294964958563
23:30:50 <EEVBot> [url] Card Minipcie - Gigabit Lan Ethernet - Chipset Intel 82574 - Mini PCI Express | eBay | www.ebay.co.uk
23:30:54 <MrMobodies> I ordered it
23:30:56 <Nothing\> nice
23:30:57 <MrMobodies> right size too
23:31:10 <Nothing\> wouldn't it be cheaper to use a 50 foot network cable though?
23:31:14 <Ampera> my backlog is being flooded in record time
23:31:16 <Nothing\> that's what I do for some devices
23:31:20 <Nothing\> oh wait nm
23:31:24 <Nothing\> gigabit lan
23:31:27 <Nothing\> not wifi, i misread
23:31:45 <MrMobodies> 50 foot?
23:31:45 <Nothing\> sorry, i just woke up and have yet to have my coffee so i'm not exactly firing on all 3 cylinders yet
23:31:49 <MrMobodies> aah I see
23:31:49 <Nothing\> lol yeah
23:31:54 <Ampera> I should hook up a printer when this happens and see how much paper I can waste
23:32:02 <MrMobodies> I am trying to save power and this is like 7w idle
23:32:06 <Nothing\> somehow it's survived like 20 years. The thing's horribly kinked up
23:32:24 <Nothing\> but i just use it to hook my mum's blu-ray up to the modem so she can watch netflix cuz it hasn't got wifi on it.
23:32:47 <MrMobodies> what survived 20 years?
23:32:52 <Nothing\> the cable lol
23:33:01 <MrMobodies> aaah I have some of those too
23:33:06 <Nothing\> after being run over by office chairs and stepped on and scratched/bitten by cats etc
23:33:07 <MrMobodies> over 20 years twisted
23:33:12 <MrMobodies> I and the jacket broke
23:33:21 <Nothing\> haha yea and more twisted than a scoliosis back
23:33:22 <MrMobodies> I just a bit of electrical tape on them
23:33:31 <Nothing\> the jacket's still intact thankfully
23:33:46 <MrMobodies> they're cat5e
23:33:55 <MrMobodies> when I was at the boarding school I used them
23:34:05 <MrMobodies> to run down the corridor to three bedrooms
23:34:17 <MrMobodies> so we can have a bit of fun at night
23:34:20 <Nothing\> lol some ding dong on one of those lifehack sites tried saying you can take the wires out cat5 cable and use them as jumpers in your breadboard. I went to try it and they're like friggin 32 gauge or something. Super small.
23:34:24 <MrMobodies> they loved the lan games
23:34:33 <Nothing\> like a hotdog down a hallway in a breadboard
23:34:43 <MrMobodies> hotdog town?
23:34:46 <MrMobodies> I like the name
23:34:47 <Nothing\> i never did the whole lan party thing
23:35:05 <MrMobodies> wasn't exacty a party
23:35:10 <MrMobodies> a small private at night
23:35:11 <Nothing\> the last multiplayer game i was really into was goldeneye on the N64
23:35:18 <MrMobodies> when they come home from their busy day
23:35:26 <MrMobodies> aaah they had that too
23:35:30 <Nothing\> I grew away from online games once I got into computers.
23:35:31 <MrMobodies> one of the lads
23:35:57 <MrMobodies> I only like one of them
23:36:06 <MrMobodies> and thats the Unrealtournament the first one
23:36:08 <MrMobodies> and that's it
23:36:23 <MrMobodies> but yes nice to grow out of them
23:36:31 <MrMobodies> some lads I know didn't get the opportunity
23:36:42 <Nothing\> MrMobodies, lol I remember having an idea for a headset that let you see and hear only what your character could on goldeneye. It was so easy to watch where people spawned and then put proximity mines on all the spawn points so they get killed the second the spawn. lol so cheap.
23:36:44 <MrMobodies> they'll stick stuck in their old ways
23:37:14 <MrMobodies> I see
23:37:23 <Nothing\> oh yeah i really loved UT especially UT2K, I actually just played that not too long ago. But I never played them online.
23:37:30 <Nothing\> likewise for Quake 3
23:37:31 <MrMobodies> how does it split the voices up?
23:37:39 <Nothing\> MrMobodies, lol i dunno i was 10
23:37:44 <MrMobodies> I like the Morpheus Map in Turbo speed
23:37:51 <MrMobodies> when you float and that
23:37:56 <Nothing\> but yeah it woulda had to made some pretty clever DSP type magic happen
23:37:59 <MrMobodies> and sniper int he air
23:38:31 <Nothing\> man I'd love to play goldeneye again on the N64. I could never get it to run properly on emulators.
23:39:27 <MrMobodies> the idea reminds me of some sort of multiplexing
23:39:35 <MrMobodies> and splitting
23:39:41 <Nothing\> I even got this service on my Nintendo Switch where you pay $60 for a 1 year subscription to the online service instead of the usual $25 and you get access to an N64 and Master System VM Ware thing. I was really hoping that would have Golden Eye but it was a disappointment.
23:39:52 <MrMobodies> like they did in the 1990's and the time lapse video recorders for cctv
23:40:08 <Nothing\> MrMobodies, actually multiplexing woulda been a much easier way to do it than streaming all 4x2 channels at once
23:40:13 <Nothing\> assuming it's stereo
23:40:32 <Nothing\> huh i never thought of multiplexing sound channels. I like that.
23:40:46 <Nothing\> never did anything with sound outside of making buzzers out of 555s though.
23:42:00 <MrMobodies> I have something
23:42:11 <MrMobodies> that might fit your area of experise
23:42:20 <MrMobodies> Aztech 2320 sound card
23:42:21 <Nothing\> oh yeah lol i bought some electrets on aliexpress, so I soldered one into a 3.5mm jack. Holy crap, I dunno if it was the electret or my soldering job but the edison wax cylinders had better fidelity.
23:42:40 <MrMobodies> well this thing I want ot make happen
23:42:49 <MrMobodies> is to power up an ISA sound card on it's own
23:42:52 <MrMobodies> no motherboard
23:43:11 <Nothing\> ah you should be able to do that easily enough
23:43:12 <MrMobodies> you see, this particular sound card, put line in audio
23:43:14 <MrMobodies> and it comes out
23:43:27 <MrMobodies> the next step is, how I do switch on the SRS3D function
23:43:47 <Nothing\> the only thing is, with expansion cards, I'm not sure how necessary they are, but they tend to have a LOT of ground connections.
23:43:48 <MrMobodies> in a bid to save power so I don't have to run a pentium 4
23:43:51 <MrMobodies> *3
23:43:52 <Nothing\> at least PCI does anyways.
23:44:00 <Nothing\> lemme get you the pinout for ISA to get you started at least
23:44:06 <MrMobodies> aaah they'd need a power suppky with -5v
23:44:15 <MrMobodies> that could be a possibility with it
23:44:44 <MrMobodies> I actually have one powerpack I think somewhere for a Dedicated Micros
23:44:52 <MrMobodies> 12v,5v and -5v
23:44:55 <MrMobodies> Ill have to see
23:45:11 <Nothing\> wtf wikipedia doesn't even show a table of contents for their articles anymore
23:45:12 <MrMobodies> oh -12v
23:45:19 <Nothing\> how on earth is this an ease of use update
23:45:27 <Nothing\> i friggin KNEW this would happen
23:45:32 <Nothing\> one day, I knew
23:45:39 <MrMobodies> I am just grateful they didn't ut a massive big spammy toolbat over it
23:45:44 <Nothing\> they're butchering the damned site
23:45:45 <MrMobodies> *toolbar fixed header
23:45:55 <Nothing\> MrMobodies, just wait, they're making the site better now.
23:45:58 <MrMobodies> I saw it on their wikipedia and sent them a message
23:46:08 <Nothing\> oh they actually considered that?
23:46:11 <MrMobodies> that if they introduce fixed headers, they looose my donation
23:46:16 <MrMobodies> on their WIKImedia
23:46:17 <MrMobodies> site
23:46:21 <Nothing\> dude, I HATE donating to them
23:46:22 <MrMobodies> I did raise the issue in 2020
23:46:27 <Nothing\> I give them my money, great.
23:46:32 <Nothing\> but then they ask me for MORE?
23:46:33 <MrMobodies> when they were asking for input
23:46:41 <MrMobodies> only when they nag
23:46:42 <Nothing\> i mean come on, could be any more ungrateful?
23:46:54 <MrMobodies> 20$ maybe
23:47:03 <Nothing\> wikipedia's not so bad about it. But this heart and stroke foundation I donated to last year is awful.
23:47:18 <MrMobodies> I am pleased they didnt put all the web trends on it
23:47:18 <Nothing\> every donation, the solicitations became more frequent and aggressive.
23:47:31 <MrMobodies> yes that's why I wait for tem to nag first
23:47:47 <MrMobodies> so folks are not happy with the white spaces
23:47:55 <MrMobodies> but I don't find it as bad as others I have seen
23:48:02 <Nothing\> it's funny because i was actually going to donate more to them (heart and stroke) but I was afraid if I did, the solicitations would get worse, so I specifically made a point of not doing it.
23:48:16 <Nothing\> Normally I throw a couple hundred bucks at a charity each year on christmas.
23:48:31 <Nothing\> whether spread out or all in one place
23:48:36 <MrMobodies> https://www.eevblog.com/forum/dodgy-technology/badbloated-web-design/msg4646053/#msg4646053
23:48:37 <EEVBot> [url] Bad/bloated web design - Page 8 | www.eevblog.com
23:48:48 <MrMobodies> I was about to post some website with an annoying chat bot
23:49:02 <MrMobodies> that kept on making sounds but noticed some was complaining about that new design
23:49:11 <MrMobodies> and noticed wikimedia had a fixed header
23:49:19 <MrMobodies> but not on wikipedia
23:49:20 <Nothing\> MrMobodies, lol at least it's not as bad as geocities or myspace was
23:49:22 <MrMobodies> so that's nice
23:49:51 <Nothing\> trying to load like 20 flash animations, 5 different .wav files, an animated background and who knows what other visual noise on a 36.6k connection
23:49:52 <MrMobodies> I don't care how it looks apart from, the fixed headers, anything that interferes with my viewing of the article
23:50:11 <MrMobodies> dimming overlays (I don't mind the dialogues)
23:50:22 <Nothing\> MrMobodies, do you program at all?
23:50:22 <MrMobodies> it's horrible to my eyes
23:50:27 <MrMobodies> hardly
23:50:35 <MrMobodies> I don't know when to start and what to do
23:50:46 <MrMobodies> very basic next to nothing
23:50:54 <Nothing\> okay, I've just been looking for a language to get into. Everyone says python but I really don't like python for some reason. Or scripted languages for that matter.
23:51:01 <Nothing\> they feel limited and dumbed down.
23:51:16 <MrMobodies> That's how I think of it
23:51:18 <Nothing\> I feel like if I'm gonna learn a language I should learn one with as much versatility as possible
23:51:27 <MrMobodies> nothing better than hving some there who has an interesting
23:51:29 <Nothing\> MrMobodies, well i'm glad it's not just me, then
23:51:30 <MrMobodies> and willing to teach
23:51:45 <MrMobodies> WHEN i WAS 10
23:51:48 <jaymax> Unfortunately that's python because poeple tossed the entire kitchen sink into it.
23:51:51 <MrMobodies> I had this Psion organiser
23:51:56 <MrMobodies> with programming facility on it
23:52:04 <MrMobodies> and the manual showed you how
23:52:19 <MrMobodies> global a$
23:52:23 <MrMobodies> input a$
23:52:28 <jaymax> Nothing\ but you could try Rust.
23:52:31 <MrMobodies> print a$
23:52:31 <Nothing\> jaymax, yeah i tried doing this turtle programming (like logos) thing on python and the first line of the first example didn't even work
23:52:32 <MrMobodies> get
23:52:46 <MrMobodies> print the letters type
23:52:49 <MrMobodies> and get means paused
23:52:54 <MrMobodies> until a key is pressed
23:52:56 <Nothing\> it worked from the python command line, but when I tried running it as a script it just gave me errors for no apparent reason. Which made no sense to me.
23:53:04 <Nothing\> why should it work in real time but not otherwise?
23:53:13 <MrMobodies> I think I need not just the basic
23:53:24 <MrMobodies> but someone with the understand to help me
23:53:31 <MrMobodies> not many of those around
23:53:31 <Nothing\> jaymax, i've never heard of Rust
23:53:38 <Nothing\> aside from the game
23:53:56 <Nothing\> MrMobodies, heh BASIC is about all the programming I ever did.
23:54:21 <MrMobodies> well that one above was I think called OPL
23:54:21 <Nothing\> there was this awesome 64 bit port of QBASIC I used to love playing with, but for some reason the only real documentation for it online disappeared.
23:54:26 <MrMobodies> Open Psion Language
23:54:34 <Nothing\> that's a different one
23:54:40 <MrMobodies> different to others
23:54:49 <Nothing\> heh I downloaded a compiler or whatever for this language called brainfuck
23:55:15 <Nothing\> i haven't tried it out yet, the language is a bit over my head even though it only has like half a dozen instructions
23:55:39 <Nothing\> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck
23:55:39 <EEVBot> [wikipedia] Brainfuck | "Brainfuck is an esoteric programming language created in 1993 by Urban Müller.Notable for its extreme minimalism, the language consists of only eight simple commands, a data pointer and an instruction pointer. While it is fully Turing complete, it is not intended for practical use, but to challenge and amuse programmers. Brainfuck requires one to break commands into microscopic steps.The language's name is a reference to the […]"
23:55:49 <Nothing\> omg i hate this new format on wikipedia
23:56:05 <Nothing\> it's like they're forcing PC users to use the mobile platform
23:56:14 <Nothing\> site, w/e
23:56:16 <MrMobodies> interesting but not a nice name
23:56:27 <MrMobodies> aaah
23:56:45 <Nothing\> MrMobodies, there's a nicer sounding one based on it called whitespace where all of the instructions are replaced with various combinations of whitespace characters lol
23:56:56 <MrMobodies> yes I noticed that
23:56:58 <Nothing\> tab, space, new line, etc
23:57:15 <MrMobodies> I have seen all sorts of ugliness, terrible web design bloat
23:57:19 <Nothing\> that one's always been my favourite language as a sort of novelty
23:57:22 <MrMobodies> and I tolereated it
23:57:31 <Nothing\> MrMobodies, yes, i've seen web 1.0 as well
23:57:33 <Nothing\> hah
23:57:33 <MrMobodies> but you know things i can't stand or tolerate
23:57:46 <Nothing\> MrMobodies, anything that does stuff without you telling it to?
23:57:48 <MrMobodies> Spammy fixed toolbars stuck there hate hatw hate
23:57:56 <MrMobodies> and fixed widgets
23:57:59 <Nothing\> lol oh man
23:58:10 <Nothing\> yeah those adware toolbars back in the day were something
