03:30:19 <electrohead> T3sl4: stop showing me stuff like this, before you make me purchase equipment for working with glass
03:30:21 <electrohead> damn you
03:30:23 <electrohead> lol
03:32:42 <electrohead> That said though - I enjoy this, danke <3
03:40:17 <T3sl4> i'd love to have glassblowing stuff, and the skill, or a vacuum system, or...
03:42:52 <arch> where do people get the money for this shit
03:43:01 * T3sl4 poops arch
03:43:04 <arch> that's at least...$20 of equipment right here
03:44:58 * arch seals T3sl4 inside a human sized ampule

03:50:32 <T3sl4> those are cool
03:51:37 <electrohead> yeah I have a vacuum pump already
03:51:48 <electrohead> the most expensive part would be the gas, and the torch itself
03:54:15 <rust7> that is pretty amazing
03:57:16 <arch> how do you do, fellow furries?
03:59:09 <rust7> those furbies have some skill, lol
04:00:12 <Kuschelpony> arch, just a silent evening
04:01:17 <arch> cool. i finished restoring my ps3 yesterday. i had upgraded the hdd to a 1tb ssd
04:01:37 <arch> and then i had to spend the most amount of time figuring out how to transfer my saved games
04:02:20 <arch> turns out it was very simple. the custom firmware i installed, Evilnat, has a built-in feature that lets you import save game profiles, even if they happened to be on a different profile
04:02:43 <arch> amazing how almost 20 years later, the ps3 still has an active homebrew dev community
04:04:47 <Kuschelpony> ound a transformer today, tomorrow i try to solder the wires and see if i am close with the inductivity or if i need to massage thwe airgap
04:15:19 <electrohead> arch: I thought the same about the original xbox community - slightly surprised it's still active as f*ck
04:15:21 <electrohead> lol

21:26:04 <MrMobodies> someone was showing me there Samsung Fold 4 phone
21:26:08 Join: Gaylord ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
21:26:11 <MrMobodies> which they only had for 3 months
21:26:26 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/X3bCLgb.png
21:26:59 <MrMobodies> do you think that could be a defect or something sharp slipped inbetween
21:28:10 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/huim7zG.jpg
21:28:22 <MrMobodies> oops I thought I blacked out personal thumbnails
21:30:33 <K> to me looks as some crap got crunched
21:34:39 <MrMobodies> He did say when he opened it up
21:34:44 <MrMobodies> he heard a cruching sound
21:34:53 <MrMobodies> and that was when the damage happened
21:34:54 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/uHjYdxm.jpg
21:35:01 <MrMobodies> and it doesn't fold all the way out anymore

21:45:38 <K> does not look good eh
21:53:52 <MrMobodies> would you say that the owner damaged it
21:54:00 <MrMobodies> or like a manufacturing defect?
21:54:04 <MrMobodies> I am not sure
22:00:31 <K> eh, silly design by manufacturer and bad life choices on owners part
22:01:30 <MrMobodies> I would never buy one of those myself
22:01:34 <MrMobodies> too flimsy
22:01:39 <MrMobodies> obviously flimsy
22:01:57 <MrMobodies> the barman has one
22:02:16 <MrMobodies> he didn't take out any kind of warranty apart from a 1 year usual or whatever
22:02:29 <MrMobodies> me I'd want some kind of a "service agreement"
22:02:49 <MrMobodies> like with my W700, £70? for two years
22:02:55 <MrMobodies> any part breaks some visits
22:03:07 <MrMobodies> inspects it and arranges to come back and swap the parts over
22:03:26 <MrMobodies> in this case I'd imagine it'd be the whole phone as i think it' be glued
22:03:41 <MrMobodies> I want something that can easily be repaired and serviced
22:03:55 <rust7> just heat it up, and the glue lets go
22:04:03 <MrMobodies> and not able to be flipped flopped for it to naturally break like that
22:04:12 <MrMobodies> oh yes I did that
22:04:18 <MrMobodies> I shouldn't have to
22:04:25 <MrMobodies> I'd expect screws thank you very much
22:04:52 <MrMobodies> Joke: putting glue in there in an expensive phone... isn't that an insult?
22:05:06 <rust7> it is probably better than screws, and also seals the thing up. it is just annoying for the one time you have to get into it
22:05:27 <MrMobodies> I suppose they have a case for waterproofing
22:05:38 <MrMobodies> I mean a justification
22:07:48 <rust7> yay! I just got a small package with 2 of those "micro servo" things
22:08:41 <rust7> if I find a motor, I can start assembline this rc car thing
22:10:07 <MrMobodies> ooh that'd be nice
22:10:15 <MrMobodies> what kind of transmitter you have?
22:10:24 <MrMobodies> the old sensible one with the levers
22:10:45 <MrMobodies> or the one where they put a minutate car wheel on it and mount it vertically on a stick
22:10:58 <rust7> no, well, I have a couple of the old sanwas. but now, I will use the senseless flysky with a wheel steering things
22:11:32 <MrMobodies> ooooohh
22:11:36 <MrMobodies> gemini 2?
22:11:40 <MrMobodies> I brought soe
22:11:48 <MrMobodies> they are beautiful
22:12:28 <rust7> I think the one I used most, was a dash 2 then there was a newer model, that was more rounded off, and sort of grey-brown
22:12:45 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/0iboA1h.png
22:12:49 <MrMobodies> it cost me a lot though
22:12:51 <MrMobodies> but worth it
22:13:33 <rust7> https://www.radiostyrt.no/filedata/fetch?id=789108&d=1669941266
22:13:39 <rust7> that is the one I used to use
22:14:07 <MrMobodies> I brought this one
22:14:08 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/4zDAEA6.png
22:14:11 <MrMobodies> for cheaper
22:14:18 <MrMobodies> but I discovered a defect later
22:14:23 <MrMobodies> someone made a modification to it
22:14:32 <MrMobodies> did your other one
22:14:39 <MrMobodies> the thrust go low?
22:14:40 Join: watcher ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
22:14:48 <MrMobodies> someone had made it go lower
22:15:04 <watcher> Hello
22:15:08 <MrMobodies> but on lever down (L) it would not register on caliberating
22:15:11 <MrMobodies> and i found this
22:15:20 <K> tell me wise man of rc controls - do any of hardware support something like force-feedback ?
22:15:21 <MrMobodies> it worked when I bent it up but
22:17:08 <rust7> k, I have not messed with this in a couple decades. I guess there might be now, but it used to be jsut to send signals out into the world, and hope someone listened to them?
22:17:28 <K> ah
22:17:32 <K> was just wondering
22:17:43 <Ampera> good morning
22:17:48 <K> ur late.
22:17:50 <K> again.
22:17:59 <rust7> ....as usual....
22:17:59 <watcher> good mornign Ampera
22:18:00 <MrMobodies> https://imgur.com/a/dEC53k9
22:18:00 <EEVBot> [url] Imgur: The magic of the Internet | imgur.com
22:18:13 <MrMobodies> someone modified it when I compared it the other
22:18:14 <Ampera> I hate all of you
22:18:16 <Ampera> <3
22:18:26 <MrMobodies> where it didn't touch the plastic it was loose
22:18:29 <rust7> it is fine, we hate you too
22:18:36 <MrMobodies> so that was my fix
22:18:37 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/ae9aP5y.jpg
22:18:47 <MrMobodies> so when I push the thrust lever down
22:18:51 <MrMobodies> it registers (L)
22:19:01 <MrMobodies> and I can adjust the EPA endpoint
22:19:26 <MrMobodies> I gave it to the councillor until he finds another one
22:19:35 <MrMobodies> the one he got me don't go far enough
22:19:57 <MrMobodies> Rust I don't suppose you have that old one?
22:21:00 <MrMobodies> they are really nice
22:21:04 <MrMobodies> shame to put it away
22:21:31 <rust7> it is somewhere up in the attic
22:21:56 <rust7> I think, the other old one is called sabre, or saber
22:22:31 <rust7> saber, it looks like
22:22:51 <rust7> https://jp.mercari.com/item/m51304755180
22:23:12 <MrMobodies> joke: so good what are they doing up there in the cold
22:23:12 <rust7> but mine has a weird grey-brown-gold color
22:23:33 <rust7> cold? we do not do cold here
22:23:42 <MrMobodies> now that looks decent
22:24:00 <MrMobodies> I was quoted something like £300 for something like and a receiver in 2007 or so
22:24:10 <MrMobodies> when I was unhappy with the controls on the Emaxx
22:24:12 <rust7> I think it is more or less a different case, for the old one
22:24:34 <MrMobodies> the Emaxx I got for £250
22:24:53 <MrMobodies> and I couldn't believe a bog standard controls and receiver cost more and I did look around
22:25:04 <MrMobodies> I think they went over like £500 to £600
22:25:13 <MrMobodies> it was silly money
22:25:26 <MrMobodies> but I put the car away until the prices became sensible
22:25:31 <MrMobodies> after 15 years
22:26:54 <MrMobodies> but it is nice to use it down park
22:27:10 <MrMobodies> I take it to the pub which is oppositing the park
22:30:38 <watcher> I need to go bye bye
