03:23 <coppice> Ampera: to a West European a lot of East European languages sound like a speech impediment
08:16 <K> "kropiva" is "nettle" in english
09:38 <K> the postfixes to my eye look like something that is added to make it a name of some place
10:30 <coppice> nettle? are the people there kinda prickly?
12:56 <Ampera> coppice, the romanized name looks weird. The cyrillic original looks fine to my eyes, and sounds just fine to my ears
13:52 <coppice> Ampera: cyrillic certainly doesn't sound jarring to me. I have no idea how to pronounce it
15:10 <K> y -> i
15:19 <K> phonetic i
15:31 <K> not the wierd sound the english has for the letter
16:06 <Ampera> y can be i in english
16:09 <Ampera> it can also be other things
16:15 <K> "ski resort" has the right sound for i
16:17 <Ampera> like e
16:20 <Ampera> or sometime a
16:22 <Ampera> or sometimes j
16:27 <coppice> Ampera: It only took a major war for people in the UK to realise we had been pronouncing chicken Kiev wrong all our lives
16:59 <Ampera> how to pronounce kiev has gotten pretty weird as of recent
17:26 <Ampera> some people seem to insist it's keev, which I find weird
17:41 <coppice> Ampera: I think the news people are now trying to outdo each other for strange Ukrainian pronunciation
17:58 <Ampera> at the risk of being told otherwise, it seems that people tried so hard to be correct and understanding that they ended up doing things worse than they already were

39:11 <rust7> heeey!
00:24 <steve30> I still have a cough

17:25 <Nothing\> lol any of you guys try chatgpt?
17:32 <Nothing\> it's a bloody liar
18:13 <rust7> https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/feb/26/chatgpt-generated-crochet-pattern-results
18:14 <EEVBot> [url] Crochet enthusiasts asked ChatGPT for patterns. The results are ‘cursed’ | ChatGPT | The Guardian | www.theguardian.com
18:16 <Nothing\> i ask it something like "what's you're favourite so and so" and it replies "as an AI I cannot experience emotions etc etc"
18:34 <Nothing\> rust7, haha that's funny I JUST asked it to make me a cross stitching pattern last night
18:48 <Nothing\> it was a number 8 as displayed on a 7 seg display
18:50 <Nothing\> :/
19:07 <Nothing\> but yeah it says it can't feel emotion
19:13 <Nothing\> then it tells me it's proud to serve me
19:24 <Nothing\> so i ask "isn't pride an emotion?"
19:53 <Nothing\> and it gives me some runaround about how it uses emotional language to more effectively model human speech or something
20:03 <Nothing\> so i say isn't that lying?
20:17 <Nothing\> "no, I'm an AI and have no consciousness so I'm not capable of lying"
21:44 <Nothing\> it reminds me of this part of a mark twain book about an angel named satan (real Satan was his uncle) that visits 3 children in a medieval (16th century?) Austrian village
22:08 <Nothing\> he explains that as an angel he lacks the "moral sense" and so cannot do any wrong as he doesn't know what wrong is
22:28 <Nothing\> it's a damn good read
22:46 <Nothing\> btw i came across that charlie chaplain movie on my SDD the other night rust7 lol
23:00 <Nothing\> they WILL be watched some day, i promise you that
23:06 <Nothing\> some day being the key word
23:21 <Nothing\> the great dictator
23:35 <rust7> is that like being so drunk, that you can not be expected to understand that you should not be driving?
24:06 <rust7> well, you should, I think it is an almost important movie
24:12 <Nothing\> rust7, haha I didn't think of it like that but that's dead on I think.
24:32 <Nothing\> rust7, have you ever seen Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove?
24:56 <Nothing\> when you mentioned important movies that one came to mind immediately
25:01 <rust7> hmm, no, I think I started looking at it, maybe. but I do not think I saw all of it
25:30 <Nothing\> you should definitely watch it. When you mentioned important movies it came to mind immediately.
26:19 <Nothing\> the jist is that a military commander loses his marbles and orders a nuclear strike on russia and through a series of events, the military is having a hard time calling it off.
26:58 <Nothing\> and you can't go wrong with peter sellers
27:17 <Nothing\> lol he plays 3 different roles. Just Eddie Murphy stole from him.
27:42 <Nothing\> Oh hey rust7
28:14 <Nothing\> did you hear that greta thunburg was arrested someplace there in Norway protesting a windfarm being built on indigineous land?
28:15 <rust7> hey-oh na na weeeyooo
28:20 <rust7> yes
28:38 <Nothing\> i didn't realize you guys treated your indigenous folk like crap too
28:40 <rust7> it is outside the government offices in oslo
28:42 <Nothing\> but it's not surprising
28:55 <Nothing\> at least i assume they do from this
30:02 <rust7> well, how can I say this... the same people is annoyed with the wind turbines, because it disturbs the reindeer. and they do not want to get drunk and shoot or run over a disturbed reindeer on their skidoo
30:19 <Nothing\> it sounds like something straight out of the 6 nations reserve here. The government is supposed to get the OK from them before building within 50km of the shores of a large river here. But they rarely do. So any time there's a big development project, or exchange of land in the works, there's a huge protest from the indigenous peoples. Especially on and near the reserve.
31:12 <rust7> the thing here, is that there is no our, and their land. it is all one thing, just that there are 1.3 groups of people on it
31:16 <Nothing\> You mighta heard about a thing I think 10-15 years ago in Cayuga where indigenous people blocked up a rail road for months.
31:26 <Nothing\> made national headlines but i barely remember it.
32:00 <Nothing\> ah i see
32:13 <Nothing\> so, not as severe as canada
32:24 <Nothing\> i mean you guys at least didn't commit genocide (that we know of)
32:55 <rust7> well, not to the degree you did. we jsut tried to reprogram them to be normal
33:10 <rust7> and.. well, sterilizing them, or. stuff
34:42 <rust7> ok, I have to fix neighbors car a little bit. have fun. maybe watch a movie or something
35:24 <jaymax> Nothing\: remember the rail blockades right before the COVID lockdowns?
37:18 <jaymax> Somewhat surprised it didn't extend to trans canada highway blockades with burnt out cars like what typically happens when there were indigenous protests.
37:39 <jaymax> At least finally we grew as a nation.
40:15 <jaymax> https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnt_Church_Crisis
40:15 <EEVBot> [wikipedia] Burnt Church Crisis | "The Burnt Church Crisis was a conflict in Canada between the Mi'kmaq people of the Burnt Church First Nations (Esgenoôpetitj) and non-Aboriginal fisheries in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia between 1999 and 2002."
41:15 <jaymax> Another scorched-car highway blockade in around 2010 over crown forestry limits.
48:05 <Nothing\> jaymax, sounds like par for the course
49:46 <jaymax> Yeah it used to be. Made everyone who remembers, cynical.
51:26 <jaymax> Its a sin how the federal level maintains legalized apartheid tho.
52:45 <Nothing\> yeah and it seems like every day i hear about how the RCMP wronged those people
53:11 <Nothing\> because all of those communities are policed by them for some reason. Not even the provincial police could be bothered.
53:47 <jaymax> But also if AFN could truly call the shots for the indigenous peoples, they'd walk away from their hand chiefs and AFN - because of their own long history of corruption.
53:55 <Nothing\> i don't get it. I didn't even know it was a thing. Living near Toronto I'm literally a thousand km from the nearest such community
54:58 <jaymax> Jurisdiction. First Nation land is federally controlled. Emphasis on "control".
54:59 <Nothing\> i only found out when i started reading about the publicized cases of the RCMP abusing natives, or turning a blind eye to missing persons cases.
55:15 * Ampera sneezes
55:19 * Ampera sneezes even harder again
55:20 <Nothing\> like that thing for murdered and missing indigenous women. Whatever happened with that?
55:29 <Nothing\> Ampera, bless you
55:50 <Ampera> geshundsheit
55:56 <jaymax> Government won't allow bands to improve communities. It must be a grant fro. the government to be allowed at all.
56:03 <Nothing\> lol you know one of thei weird side effects i got from being addicted to methadone is that i've completely stopped sneezing
56:20 <Nothing\> i might sneeze rarely if i haven't had enough and i'm feeling sick from it, but that's it.
57:22 <Nothing\> also lol i've had chronic knee pain since i was 8 (patellofemoral pain syndrome) that's had my knees in agony about 3-5 times a week give or take. That pretty much disappeared when I got addicted too lol.
57:29 <Ampera> I no longer have heartburn
57:30 <Ampera> at all
57:44 <Nothing\> again it comes back if i don't take enough but that's it
57:56 <Nothing\> Ampera, must be nice. I've been taking nexium for like half a year.
58:04 <Ampera> I'm on prevacid
58:14 <Nothing\> it works wonderfully and they recently made it otc here
58:20 <Nothing\> but it's like $25 for a 2 week supply
58:28 <Ampera> prevacid has been OTC for ages, and it's been around long enough to be pretty cheap
58:42 <Nothing\> but as far as proton pump inhibitors go, nexium is the best i've ever taken
58:49 <Ampera> 42 day supply is 11.76
58:52 <Ampera> off amazon
58:53 <Nothing\> nothing else helped me
58:56 <jaymax> Heads up that stuff is worse long-term than Zantac.
59:09 <Nothing\> jaymax, worse how?
59:14 <Nothing\> and what stuff? nexium?
59:22 <Ampera> I was taking famotidine, even more powerful than zantac (which is now off the market), and it did absolutely nothing
59:23 <jaymax> Any PPI
59:29 <Nothing\> jaymax, how come?
59:32 <Nothing\> rebound?
59:39 <Ampera> I've been told prevacid is better than some of them, but I am aware there are long term impacts
59:51 <Ampera> but there also isn't anything else they can really do about GERD or persistent heartburn
00:04 <jaymax> Zantac is off the US market because if cancer risk. PPI drugs are worse.
00:17 <Ampera> sounds like a problem for future me
00:22 <jaymax> ^
00:25 <Nothing\> i stopped taking my nexium for a week cuz i ran out and i got the worst heartburn at night. Where you burp up pure stomach acid. Ech.
00:27 <Ampera> present me thanks future me for the sacrifice
00:32 <jaymax> Avoid using them longterm.
00:39 <Nothing\> jaymax, oh i didn't realize
00:50 <Ampera> I am using them long term. Even coming off a 14 day supply the rebound was bad to where I just went straight back on it
00:59 <Nothing\> i'll have to look into this more i've never heard of this. PPIs seem so inoccuous.
01:09 <Ampera> and I don't give a shit what happens, unless I'm made aware of there being a better option, I'll keep doing it
01:23 <jaymax> Sounds counterintuitive but if drinking a little cider vinegar helps - then go with that.
02:04 <Ampera> The alternative was eating close to a dozen tums a day and maxing out the dosage of famotidine
02:09 <Nothing\> but yeah jaymax i've been taking it long enough that i was able to make an air filter out of the dessicant packets because I need a filter to dry the air around a cup of propylene glycol i'm evaporating
02:10 <Ampera> and still having heartburn
03:14 <Nothing\> apparently PG absorbs water from the air like crazy, so i put it in a medicine cup then filled a toilet paper tube with dessicant packets and put it over top of the cup so any air that gets to the cup has to go through the drying collumn first.
03:35 <jaymax> For PPIs its to treat ulcers but longterm use *causes* ulcers.
03:35 <Nothing\> here i've been wondering why it's been taking 3 months to evaporate 5ml of liquid
03:47 <Nothing\> jaymax, really? hrm
04:19 <Nothing\> jaymax, actually acid reflux can cause cancer aswell though
04:31 <jaymax> Yes. My GP wanted MW off them after five years - especially given new data (that was a decade ago).
04:36 <jaymax> Nothing\: yes
05:03 <jaymax> My GP wanted me...
05:28 <Nothing\> now that i think about it, the chronic irritation from the stomach acid on the esophageal epithelium could potentially lead to hyperplasias (polyps maybe?) which can turn into cancer
05:46 <Nothing\> but that's just speculation
05:48 <Ampera> My mom's been on it for close to a decade. Stopping was impossible for her, and the GI doc she went to basically said there wasn't anything else
06:11 <Nothing\> Ampera, that's the problem, my gastric contents are so acidic otherwise
06:16 <jaymax> Also, it was my GP who gave me Prevacid samples originally.
06:21 <Nothing\> i used to literally eat spoonfulls of baking soda
06:46 <Nothing\> and let me tell you, the belch of pure co2 gas you get after that is SOOOO satisfying
07:05 <Nothing\> but it was probably not good for my BP
07:12 <Ampera> I have no GP and getting an appointment with a GP is nearly impossible in my area
07:22 <Nothing\> but taht's another nice side effect of being an o piate and benzodiazepine addict
07:41 <Ampera> I should potentially consult a GI doctor, but I'm not sure what they'd tell me other than things I won't do, or to keep taking the PPI
07:45 <Nothing\> my resting heart rate is like 45bpm and my blood pressure is 110/70
08:20 <Nothing\> and the more your heart beats, the shorter your life is, so esssentially this is prolonging my life
08:29 <Nothing\> assuming no illnessses of course
08:59 <Nothing\> but if you look at the life expectancy of any animal relative to its heart rate, there's a direct correlation between the two
09:08 <Nothing\> slower heart rate, longer life
09:16 <Nothing\> presumably because slower metabolism

02:36 <arch> if i wanted to get an appointment with a gp, i'd have to wait 6 months
02:49 <Ampera> pretty good
02:56 <arch> can't blame people for not wanting to get into healthcare
03:53 <arch> there was a huge nurse strike in nyc just a month or so ago
10:15 <arch> does this look alright for a transient load? i didn't have a 3.3uH inductor (minimum specified in the datasheet), so i used a 2.2uH one: https://i.imgur.com/SMNfIb8.png
10:51 <arch> 0-100% transient, 2.3A (TPS562201, 580kHz fsw, 12V in 5V out)
11:38 <arch> don't notice any ringing, so i assume it's good. oc output ripple is higher, but whatever, not too big a deal
14:33 <Ampera> smh, so much load on the trans
14:34 <Ampera> ients
16:20 * arch puts a load in Ampera 
43:04 <T3sl4> probably looks better with some idle load
43:10 <T3sl4> seems fine regardless

00:42 <jaymax> Well, hopefully no more than that.

01:00 <Halcyon_> I'm not a fan

24:42 <Halcyon_> I wish you were here Steve, so you could get around to setting up my retrocomputing room and getting everything working
24:51 <Halcyon_> I wish I could but I just don't have a lot of time to spend
25:42 <Halcyon_> I was hoping to set up an old HP Netserver the other day but looks like the motherboard is faulty
26:00 <Halcyon_> I'm hoping it's something as simple as bad caps
32:32 <Halcyon_> By the way, I've had fibre internet now for about 5 months now. Rock solid. WHo would have thought it would be so much more reliable and didn't go down in every storm, compared to VDSL2
32:48 <Halcyon_> I still don't understand why they insist on rolling out that junk

36:58 <electrohead> Halcyon_: Lol. Yeah it was alright
37:38 <Halcyon_> I'm on the train *sigh*
37:43 <Halcyon_> It's such a long boring trip
38:25 <steve30> We are slowly being fibred
38:36 <electrohead> Halcyon_: how long does it take normally?
38:40 <Ampera> Halcyon_, you're only on the train because you like getting railed
38:42 <Halcyon_> Is it far from your house steve30 ?
38:54 * electrohead points to his 500/500 connection
38:57 <Halcyon_> electrohead, it's 2 hours door-to-door each way
39:15 * Ampera points to her 940/880 connection :)
39:18 <steve30> Well, they've been putting the infrastructure in. There's still coils of cable hanging from telegraph poles so I don't thinks its ready yet
39:27 <Halcyon_> Ampera, you'd think so, but I'm mostly top :P
39:34 <coppice> Halcyon_: Now they have fibre running well through poles and overhead lines, VDSL2 has pretty much reached the end of the road for new rollouts
39:40 <Ampera> Halcyon_, yeah but everything's upside down there, so up here you're really a bottom
40:31 <Halcyon_> Hahaha
41:08 * electrohead strangles Ampera's pronouns
41:10 <Halcyon_> coppice, as far as I know they aren't installing fibre on poles, even in areas where all the cabling is above ground. They are digging new trenches and installing new pits.
41:11 <coppice> Halcyon_: How much are you paying for your fibre internet?
41:26 <Halcyon_> I guess ultimately it's probably more reliable that way?
41:29 <Ampera> electrohead, yes but you can only do it roughly half as fast as I can :D
41:35 <electrohead> Lol
41:44 <Ampera> coppice, ooo ooo I've seen this episode before
42:01 <Halcyon_> coppice, I pay $9.50/day for 500/250 which is not the cheapest at all, but it's with one of the more premium providers.
42:15 <Halcyon_> That includes a static public IPv4 address and unlimited data
42:29 <Ampera> 300/mo
42:33 <Ampera> even in monopoly money that's bad
42:55 <Halcyon_> Thankfully, most of it is tax deductible at the end of the financial year
42:55 <coppice> Halcyon_: overground deployment has massively speeded up fibre to the home deployment in the UK. That last few metres into the house was a real killer for underground deplyments
43:17 <coppice> Halcyon_: a day? WTF pays for their ISP by the day?
43:34 <Halcyon_> I could get gigabit for much cheaper, but it's on a residential plan and the upload sucks dick
43:47 <Ampera> Halcyon_, I mean so do you
43:48 <electrohead> Per day? Ew.
43:54 <electrohead> Heh
44:09 <electrohead> Shit, I pay $95 a month for my 500/500 plan
44:09 <Ampera> all electrohead ever does is watch and film
44:10 <Halcyon_> coppice, yeh it's one of the few. The reason they do that is you can increase/decrease your speed at anytime seamlessly and you get charged in 24 hour blocks for the faster speed you pick.
44:15 <Ampera> 940/880 for 80$/mo :D
44:19 <coppice> Halcyon_: the going rate for 2G up/2G down in HK seems to be settling at about $6 a month.
44:26 <electrohead> Ampera: Who's your ISP?
44:33 <Halcyon_> So if for whatever reason I needed gigabit, I could just click a button and it's done within a few minutes without having to disconnect or call them up
44:39 <Ampera> electrohead, NYNEX obviously
44:52 <steve30> According to a speedtester, i have 44/17 at the moment
45:07 <electrohead> steve30: ouch.
45:32 <Halcyon_> But in real terms, I just have a month's worth of balance sitting on the account, so money only comes out of my bank account once a month.
46:23 <coppice> steve30: That's about what we get, and it would be OK if it were stable. It used to be. Then COVID struk and it slowed down. Only in the last month has it started to become more consistent again. I hope this lasts
47:03 <steve30> This varies a little, but there's a wireless leg in there which probably affects it
48:01 <Halcyon_> Wireless shouldn't introduce much of a reduction in speed if you have a strong signal
48:21 <Halcyon_> Real world throughput is roughly half of what your NIC reports the connection speed is
52:24 <Halcyon_> Argh, why do people insist on bringing young children into the quiet carriage?
53:52 <jaymax> They didn't want loud noises that'd set their kids off.
53:59 <jaymax> Kinda ironic
54:22 <Halcyon_> People are just fucking rude. No regard for anyone else
55:02 <jaymax> You should punch one of the parents in the face. They will figure out why.
55:11 <jaymax> /s
55:17 <Halcyon_> You'd think so, but people are pretty thick.
55:35 <jaymax> That's when you punch harder
55:42 <Halcyon_> Hahah
56:08 <Ampera> just turn on some loud porn without headphones and masturbate outrageously
56:14 <Ampera> what are they gonna do, throw you off a moving train?
56:17 <Ampera> I bet the kids clear right out
56:25 <Ampera> or stand behind and watch
56:42 <Halcyon_> I could think of so many things wrong with that
56:52 <jaymax> Halcyon_ is Australian. Not some New Yorker on the subway.
57:04 <Ampera> jaymax, I don't see the problem here
57:14 <jaymax> Of course you don't.
57:24 <Halcyon_> Also I value my national security clearance. They tend to frown upon that kind of conduct.
57:34 <Halcyon_> I like having a job :P
57:36 <jaymax> What state do you live on again Ampera ?
57:46 <jaymax> *in
57:51 <Ampera> obviously new quebec
58:06 <jaymax> That sounds like a lie
58:11 <Halcyon_> jaymax, well the earth is flat, so "on" is accurate :P
58:16 <jaymax> Noone would do a new Quebec
58:33 <Ampera> you mean to tell me there is a concept of a state /worse/ than new york?
59:01 <Halcyon_> Why is NY *that* bad?
59:43 <Ampera> Years of endless corruption focused entirely on the single largest metropolis in the entire nation, under which a much larger and culturally distinct state is politically subject to?
00:28 <Ampera> Our reputation for legislating, regulating, and banning almost every single thing?
00:55 <jaymax> https://files.maxuel.compy.ca:5281/upload/yxgvku3MIngEAhwy/F_7qywQSTrankFFCVl7fOQ.jpg
00:59 <Halcyon_> I knew it was particularly bad for business
00:59 <Ampera> The fact that we have the highest tax burden in the nation, yet some of the most poorly maintained infrastructure?
01:09 <Halcyon_> Hmmm
01:47 <Ampera> The fact that we are a single party state with a bicameral legislature and governorship combined in a one party supermajority?
02:09 <Ampera> and with an opposition that strongly resemble far south yokels than anything you'd expect out of the northeast
02:11 <Halcyon_> So... where would you live?
02:16 <jaymax> Halcyon_: not so much particularly bad for business - only the businesses that don't have full-time lawyers
02:33 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
02:40 <Ampera> I'll worry about that question when I can afford to answer it
02:47 <Halcyon_> Heh
03:08 <Halcyon_> It was more of a hypothetical question
03:24 <Ampera> There's a lot of pretty pathetic parts of the world right now, and vanishingly few places I'd consider to be particularly great
03:35 <Ampera> There is no good place to live, rather just different types of bad.
04:01 <Halcyon_> I find myself considering moving further out into rural areas more and more.
04:18 <Halcyon_> I'm just waiting for the new Sydney airport to begin operating before selling my house
04:27 <steve30> We have a New York here in Rotherham if you fancy moving
04:39 <Ampera> Parts of the midwest seem okay, but they end up being awfully close to parts that seem very not okay
05:35 <Ampera> the entire west coast is uninhabitable
05:58 <Ampera> some parts of the south and southwest seem neat, but they're a million degrees and there's a lot of bible bashers down there
06:06 <Halcyon_> *sigh*
06:10 <Halcyon_> You can't win
06:42 <Halcyon_> Oh did you see that they are considering implementing a standard time zone for the moon?
06:47 <Ampera> Yes.
06:52 <Ampera> I will care once I move there.
06:56 <Halcyon_> I'd love to know how that's going to work and how they manage to completely fuck it up
07:10 <Ampera> They already have standard coordinated timezones for mars
07:54 <jaymax> If everyone switches to UTC, these problems don't matter.
08:05 <Halcyon_> How does that work with the difference in the length of days though?
08:18 <Ampera> calaclock
08:48 <Halcyon_> Maybe we will get "Smarch" afterall
09:37 <jaymax> Lousy sm arch weather
09:43 <Ampera> suck mah arch
09:48 <Ampera> I wanna suck mah arch so bad
09:55 <Ampera> I bet he has a cute, feminine penis
09:56 <Halcyon_> Hahah OK
10:13 <Ampera> should invent a new makeup product for gay people: dickstick
10:16 <Ampera> color your foreskin
10:22 <Halcyon_> Great, it's raining, it's going to make the walk from the station to work fun.
10:29 <Halcyon_> ROFL!
10:41 <Halcyon_> Oh Ampera
10:46 <jaymax> Ampera: isn't that a rainbow party?
10:51 <Ampera> whatever you're gonna associate with that I don't want to know
10:52 <Halcyon_> It's actually not a half-bad idea. The sex shops would love it
11:05 <Ampera> dickjazzle
11:31 <Ampera> wait, I got it
11:32 <Ampera> penistone
11:51 <Halcyon_> So white guys can pretend to have a BBC?
12:05 <Ampera> who would want a BBC
12:13 <Halcyon_> Perhaps you?
12:14 <Ampera> all they'll do is just make you pay a TV loicense fee

39:04 <watcher> Hi K
39:26 <K> aye
40:01 <watcher> I finished this week a mod project
40:28 <watcher> You can also call it hardware hacking

53:59 <K> it feels like i've asked this before, but what are you modding?
00:05 <watcher> This was a very easy beginner level project. I had a cheap plastic partyglasses with a tube plastic in the frame connected with a LED for each eye. Those LED are lighted when there soundnoise. And I had a LED light string that needed to light when there was sound. so I removed the pcb from the
00:05 <watcher> glasses desolederd the LEDS en switch. Removed the batt
00:05 <watcher> erywires and solderd every thing in the batteryholder of the LEDlight string. So now I have a lightstring that reacted on noise.
02:14 <watcher> I also needed to remove so plactic form the batteryholder to fit the pcb. I have tested it and even that it needs much more power because there are dozens of leds it still works and de resistors or capacitor didn't broke. So the project was succes full.
02:28 <watcher> I need to go now so you later O/

08:09 <MrMobodies> Hello
08:17 <MrMobodies> I spent all night doing this
08:19 <MrMobodies> https://imgur.com/a/fS9diEN
08:19 <EEVBot> [url] B - Album on Imgur | imgur.com
08:21 <MrMobodies> all finished
08:28 <MrMobodies> and I think the owners are going to be pleased
11:36 <K> satisfied, even?
13:01 <MrMobodies> I am not sure what you mean?
13:07 <MrMobodies> should they not be pleased?
13:15 <MrMobodies> any criticism?
13:29 <MrMobodies> the controls were broke when they brought it to me
13:45 <MrMobodies> could never get it working after 3 goes when they got it new
14:09 <MrMobodies> it had this underpowered 7.4v 1700mah lithium polymer batter insde
14:25 <MrMobodies> they brought a replacement transmitter and receiver
14:50 <MrMobodies> the ESC was an all in one with only a steering servo output
15:56 <MrMobodies> so I found for £18.99 a Carson (same company) ESC that they confirmed will work with the lithum battery and motor and NiMH cells too, 6 to 9 cells.
16:10 <MrMobodies> and will allow for an external receiver so they can use any controls they want
16:28 <MrMobodies> their controls they provided worked without any issues with caliberation
16:43 <MrMobodies> the only problem, it don't go very far.
17:08 <MrMobodies> half way down the width of the park it stops and you have to go near it for it to start workig
17:52 <MrMobodies> my old Traxxas AM receiver (which as thrust issues where I can get the car to reverse) goes all the way down the park)
18:06 <MrMobodies> should they not be pleased?
18:35 <MrMobodies> I brought that Sanwa control I repaired for a spare from my other one. It was not for them.
19:18 <MrMobodies> but I see no choice. If they want a 2.4GHz set I think they should go down to a model shop, see what they got and try it... then the range problem is diverted to the shop and not me.
19:50 <MrMobodies> I know this Sanwa set works beautifully so easy to control and not that other one is fixed
20:16 <MrMobodies> oops now not *not
20:47 <K> all looks good to me
21:13 <MrMobodies> oh okay
21:19 <MrMobodies> I am going make a pendrive with a script
21:24 <MrMobodies> a batch script
21:33 <MrMobodies> so it will copy Logview V2
21:57 <MrMobodies> and the profile c:\users\<account name>\roaming\Logviewv2
22:12 <MrMobodies> so there is no setup and changing of the German units
22:43 <K> i am bit concerned about angle of the red wire there - https://i.imgur.com/xovjod6.jpeg
22:44 <MrMobodies> so they can connect it up and check any batteries they suspect maybe giving them a problem
22:58 <MrMobodies> oh yes
23:19 <MrMobodies> that would be the work of the previous owner who had the controls
23:52 <K> i prolly would hot-glue over the wires too, to fix them
24:00 <K> as much as i dislike hotglue
24:05 <MrMobodies> the angle of it is out of the variale resistor level apparently
24:11 <MrMobodies> okay well maybe I'll do that later
24:52 <MrMobodies> partially glued
24:53 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/j5R6kwl.jpg
24:56 <MrMobodies> but could do with some more
25:05 <MrMobodies> it doesn't move though and it is not suppose too
25:17 <MrMobodies> but the folks who modified it has made it loose and move about
25:56 <MrMobodies> I released the spring a little to loosen it up to put less stress on it
26:08 <MrMobodies> but it is lovelly
26:18 <MrMobodies> control that car down the narrow driveway
27:09 <MrMobodies> compared to the Traxxas and their new control and the old ones which were the wheel things. Unmarked so I don't know which way I am steering apart from the feel.
27:24 <MrMobodies> this control makes it that bit easier and convenient.

44:46 * electrohead looks
45:04 <Ysjoelfir> it rings a bell for me as well, somehow, but I can't remember why
48:02 <electrohead> so they are a distributer - for all I know, I came across a reference online to stay away from them, due to fake parts
51:11 <Ampera> hallo
51:19 <Ysjoelfir> Ok, can you find that reference? We need a part that these peoples have for really nice prices
51:22 <Ampera> good morning
51:25 <Ysjoelfir> hi Ampera how are you?
51:30 <Ampera> I am good Ysjoelfir how are you?
51:33 <Ampera> did you get that music yet?
52:49 <Ysjoelfir> I am pretty good as well, had a very nice attractive lady from german Telekom here today, who diagnosed our mess. and no, I totally forgot about the muzak, but I just told the misses to remind me on saturday to finally finish setting that up
53:10 <Ampera> lol
56:13 <electrohead> Ysjoelfir: didn't see the reference, however they are completely based in china
56:21 <electrohead> I don't personally trust that, lol

56:54 <electrohead> especially when recently, most IC's we've gotten in at work from overseas, specifically china, have been fucking fake
