01:09:05 <arch> any of you fools in upstate NY own a house? im thinking of one, but it's ooold and doesn't have a certificate of occupancy
01:09:14 <arch> 1900s house
01:44:44 <Ampera> arch, depends on what you define as upstate
01:45:14 <Ampera> most houses where I live are 1900's 1910's 1920's
01:45:56 <arch> binghampton, chenango, scranton
01:46:18 <arch> any issues with getting home insurance on those old af houses without a co?
01:47:30 <Ampera> depends on the area and the bank you work with.
01:47:33 <Ampera> and insurance company
01:47:39 <Ampera> if they're from the area, and know the deal, it's typically easier.
01:47:52 <Ampera> I will warn you, binghamton is in the middle of nowhere, and not in a good way
01:48:07 <Ampera> scranton isn't even in NY
01:48:50 <arch> i like the middle of nowhere
01:49:02 <Ampera> then move up to the adirondacks where you at least have a pretty lake to look at
01:49:14 <Ampera> don't move to the literal twilight zone
01:50:35 <Ampera> The worst thing about living where I am, is driving to anywhere that's not here is a 2-3 hour drive at minimum
01:50:43 <Ampera> that area is way more than double that

02:57:47 <arch> if i didn't have family, i would live in a mud hut with a satellite dish for internet and solar panels for a laptop
03:07:31 <arch> and a T3sl4 waifu pillow of course
03:08:40 <arch> and maybe an electrohead bobblehead, with a shiny bald head of course

03:21:24 <coppice> arch: is he naturally shiny and bald, or does he see a hairdresser who's a really polished performer?

03:50:31 <coppice> arch: that's offensive, and I say that as a straight white, aging man with only minor hair loss who is projecting how I think a baldy would feel.
03:50:46 <arch> lol
04:10:32 * jaymax ate some fenugreek last night.
04:10:54 <jaymax> It's has the effect of asparagus, but pleasant. Happy pi day.
04:10:59 <coppice> jaymax: is that a noteworthy event?
04:11:53 <coppice> jaymax: are you talking about the effect on pee? I've never noticed that with fenugreek
04:12:26 <jaymax> Maybe I got kidney problems now.
04:15:33 <jaymax> Yeah, the maple syrup smell. https://fenugreekworld.com/fenugreek-side-effects/

05:40:36 <MrMobodies> Hello
05:40:47 <rust8> 'elloh
05:41:21 * steve30 needs coffee
05:41:29 * rust8 has coffee
05:41:39 <MrMobodies> I was quite surprised to find that HP printers with "e" at the end don't have scan to network folder or scan to memory device
05:41:52 <MrMobodies> In other words it is a locked down printer
05:42:14 <MrMobodies> anything with HP+ on it or "e" at the end of the model number
05:42:51 <MrMobodies> Apparently from what I read, you need, broadband, phone, app, Amazon for scanning or smart app,
05:43:04 <rust8> sounds good to me
05:43:08 <MrMobodies> a HP account and working broadband in order to do anything
05:43:13 <MrMobodies> and they call it smart too.
05:43:20 <rust8> my printer only does printing
05:43:31 <MrMobodies> despite lacking the "scan to memory device" and network folders
05:43:37 <MrMobodies> or being able to printer locally to it
05:43:55 <rust8> wifes printer came with some games you can print out, which I think is a fun idea
05:43:58 <MrMobodies> some of the sj
05:43:59 <MrMobodies> aaah
05:44:02 <MrMobodies> the 7000 series?
05:44:09 <rust8> I have no idea
05:44:10 <MrMobodies> with games at the top?
05:44:16 <MrMobodies> little tile things
05:44:27 <MrMobodies> I have seen a 7000 series someone brought wth something like that
05:44:38 <rust8> I have not turned it on in at least 3 years
05:45:00 <MrMobodies> HP thread complaint, they said "it was HP SMART APPS, part of the package and can't be switched off"
05:45:19 <MrMobodies> if that was me, I brought it
05:45:31 <MrMobodies> I'd go mad and scream at them down the phone
05:45:37 <MrMobodies> a printers jobs is to print
05:45:46 <MrMobodies> to display games in the way of print jobs
05:46:16 <MrMobodies> these game tiles were taking up room over the screen of other things, it was ridiculous
05:46:41 <MrMobodies> oops I mean not display games
05:46:48 <rust8> iIrc, you had to go into a submenu, to find games, but yeah, I do not really remember
05:46:52 <MrMobodies> I'll see if I can find it but I was shocked to see such shit
05:47:12 <MrMobodies> well these things were stuck at the top
05:47:20 <MrMobodies> all the time
05:47:55 <MrMobodies> I'll see if I can find a picture of it I think it was in 2018 or 2019
05:48:05 <MrMobodies> it was suppose to be a spare that someone brought
05:48:27 <MrMobodies> their printer broke down, they brought that into to me to check and setup
05:48:32 <MrMobodies> I told them to take it back
05:48:43 <MrMobodies> they can't because they had it for more than a year or so an dno receipt
05:48:55 <MrMobodies> no printer should have games on it
05:49:03 <MrMobodies> or interfere with my using of the printer
05:57:10 <Ampera> https://cloud.systemtheta.net/s/ib5ckNBW693FLZ2/preview
05:57:12 <Ampera> bawlz
06:02:55 <MrMobodies> chocolate bowls?
06:03:03 <MrMobodies> or fudge alls
06:03:09 <MrMobodies> oops balls
06:03:30 <MrMobodies> sorry I am just recovering from a cold
06:03:41 <MrMobodies> and i seem to be getting things wrong
06:04:05 <MrMobodies> I had that chest infection from last week
06:04:16 <MrMobodies> I saw a gp face to face for the first time
06:04:59 <MrMobodies> I explained that the previous anti biotics did not cover certain places like the head (suppose to be amoxcillians but changed due to shortages)
06:05:17 <MrMobodies> and it got to my head where I had that conjunitivitis
06:05:29 <MrMobodies> and other symptoms and it came back slowly
06:06:14 <MrMobodies> so he issued Co-Amoxcilav 21 tablets for 7 days
06:06:51 <Ampera> meatbawlz
06:11:46 <MrMobodies> I am having that tomorrow
06:11:56 <MrMobodies> in spicu sauce with peppers
06:12:01 <MrMobodies> and rice
06:12:13 <MrMobodies> my mum makes them
06:12:25 <MrMobodies> but they look nice
06:12:58 <jaymax> MrMobodies: HPi vs HPe vendor differences matter
06:13:25 <MrMobodies> I never knew that
06:13:28 <jaymax> HPi is effectively Compaq shite.
06:13:37 <MrMobodies> I thought Hpe stood for Enterprise
06:13:42 <MrMobodies> just like this thing here lets find it
06:13:47 <jaymax> Yes
06:14:38 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/b04rLMt.png
06:14:52 <MrMobodies> that is HP network KVM switch
06:14:59 <coppice> They differences don't matter that much. They are all going slowly bankrupt
06:15:33 <jaymax> At this point? Sure.
06:15:35 <MrMobodies> So if I buy a Hpi printer joke: that means it be for idiots (HP IDIOTS)
06:15:51 <MrMobodies> where they lack things now like scan to network folders and memory card
06:16:17 <jaymax> Luckily (?) I dont own any HPe newer than 6 years old.
06:16:38 <jaymax> HP individual, methinks.
06:17:36 <MrMobodies> I anticipate, if I get a second HP server
06:17:41 <MrMobodies> they'd be many things to unlock
06:17:49 <MrMobodies> where I have to pay for them
06:18:35 <jaymax> Gigabyte rack mount gear will be of the age by the time I get there - or I SuperMicro it.
06:19:08 <MrMobodies> I remember something like this with the G8, lights oUT and some feature for the raid controller which I thought was a CON and not worth it that was available with their older 400 series sas controllers
06:19:29 <jaymax> Since anything past Gen7 is a forced change everywhere, i'm good for abandoning them.
06:20:04 <MrMobodies> forced change? you mean when it is connected up, HP has remote control over it?
06:20:25 <jaymax> MrMobodies: yeah G6 and G7 shared the same SmartArray P410i controller.
06:20:59 <MrMobodies> I was given a G8 model and they want nearly £200 to unlock some raid feature
06:21:04 <jaymax> Forced change as in no using any G7 gear as spare parts.
06:21:28 <jaymax> Despite being possible with G5-G7.
06:21:38 <arch> T3sl4, `sudo buh -c 'buh'`
06:21:45 <MrMobodies> oh I see
06:21:50 <MrMobodies> the fittings
06:21:53 <MrMobodies> and cages
06:22:00 <jaymax> All of it.
06:22:03 * arch inspects jaymax's rack
06:22:07 <MrMobodies> I picked up a Areca controller for £20 that did everything
06:22:17 <MrMobodies> I put that in place of the controller oh nonono
06:22:19 <jaymax> G6 and G7 are almost identical.
06:22:32 <MrMobodies> I think the G8 controller was built onboard silly me
06:22:37 <jaymax> But it all got fucked in a full design in Gen8
06:22:45 <MrMobodies> I mean sas controller
06:22:51 <jaymax> Yes
06:22:53 <jaymax> Saa
06:22:55 <jaymax> Sas
06:23:08 <MrMobodies> but I disabled it and put Areca controller
06:23:17 <MrMobodies> got for a bargain in 2020 for £20
06:23:28 <MrMobodies> it was on bid
06:23:34 <MrMobodies> the only problem with it
06:23:40 <MrMobodies> the cages don't light up
06:23:52 * jaymax does a show for arch
06:23:56 <MrMobodies> on hd activity
06:24:14 * arch throws pennies and nickels at jaymax
06:24:33 * jaymax mounts the rack
06:25:54 <MrMobodies> If someone broken into my house, when I wasn't there to change something that they knew I got and left I wonder what laws they'd be breaking?

07:48:12 <MrMobodies> sarcasm: those icons: modern,newer,pretty = bettery
07:48:15 <MrMobodies> oops y
07:48:36 <jaymax> Inkjet-for-desk (instead of plotter) is your first clue.
07:48:42 <MrMobodies> forget the things that matter just make them smaller and remove the text
07:48:50 <MrMobodies> I mean the icons

07:49:10 <MrMobodies> "Just bought a Photosmart 7520 to my father. He finds screen touch eprint icons too distracting"
07:49:23 <MrMobodies> I am not surprised I anticipated that when I told her to take it back
07:49:53 <MrMobodies> "No you will not be able to completely remove all the ePrint apps that show up on the front panel of your printer. There are a few that will stay along with the get more apps option."
07:50:03 <jaymax> Windows XP Bobs/Vegene edition.
07:50:26 <coppice> there are plenty of plotters at HP. Devious scheming scumbags
07:50:34 <MrMobodies> "Do you realise that childish icons for Airfix etc make what is a good product look a bit of a joke"
07:50:40 <MrMobodies> what a good statement
07:50:47 <MrMobodies> to that nonsense
07:50:57 <jaymax> coppice: inkjet plotters are nice
07:51:42 <MrMobodies> joke: So the only way to remove the "apps" on that HP 7520 printer is to get rid of the printer itself.
07:52:04 <jaymax> Products that are priced lower than what it took to manufacture are the tools of Satan.
07:52:36 <coppice> jaymax: some people still love their printouts, but large 4k monitors must have reduced their usage quite a bit
07:52:38 <MrMobodies> makes perfect sense
07:53:27 <MrMobodies> if something is cheap and built so good and in fact "too good to be true" but it is then there's something behind it to do with the tools of satan
07:53:30 <jaymax> Certainly customers pay for their thrift for every 10 cents of ink in each $50 cartridge.
07:53:51 <coppice> jaymax: I can't remember the last time I used a printed schematic, PCB or silicon layout. You can't switch the layers on and off :-\
07:54:29 <Kuschelpony> i did use a printout schematic right today
07:54:47 <Kuschelpony> still troubleshooting an oscilloscope with noise issues
07:55:01 <jaymax> I still with paper. But lots of capable Laser printers looking for adoption.
07:55:03 <rust8> print the layers on transparent... uh. sheets
07:55:04 <coppice> Kuschelpony: replace the fan
07:55:29 <coppice> rust8: how very old school.
07:55:33 <DHess_US> From my recent trip, I'm not saying it was aliens but ... it was Pennsylvania aliens, https://imgur.com/a/D9gbbwp
07:55:33 <EEVBot> [url] Imgur: The magic of the Internet | imgur.com
07:56:03 <coppice> DHess_US: for those of us not from the US you are all aliens
07:56:15 <Kuschelpony> a: it has no fan at all, and b: its electrical noise that seems to come from some kind of intermittent grounding in the input amplifier but its not sensitive to tapping
07:56:52 <rust8> coppice this stuff made me think of the very very large plotter they had at moms work, I thought it was a cool machine, but it used pens, that you had to clamp in place, which was a bit weird, imo
07:57:23 <coppice> no microphonic caps, then
07:58:04 <coppice> rust8: most plotters stop at A0. I think the really big stuff is still customised and pen based
07:59:50 <coppice> rust8: have you seen the old HP A1 and A0 pen plotters that shuttled the paper back and forth at high speed for thousands of vectors without any slippage?
08:00:40 <rust8> I have only seen those at her work, and that was probably 35 years ago
08:01:13 <Kuschelpony> pretty sure some kind of odd electro-mechanical problem
08:04:12 <coppice> rust8: 35 years would be the era of the compact A0 plotter with paper suttling back and forth, and the pens only moving along a single line
08:04:20 <coppice> shuttling
08:05:06 <rust8> maybe, I really do not remember. it was a huge machine, in its own room, But i think I still have a few of the pens somewhere
08:05:32 <coppice> rust8: It astonishes most people to see one of those work the first time with no slippage. they look utterly unreasonable, but they really work
08:06:54 <rust8> hmm, no, it had a big roll of paper, I do not think it was moving, in this case.
08:07:02 <rust8> but yes, that sounds interesting

09:08:49 <coppice> wasn't it bond age that brought down SVB?
09:14:37 <jaymax> More like, you must never cross your streams. The bond yield curve crossed streams.
09:17:53 <coppice> every time they talk about yield curves the word yield seems to carry the same tone as with nuclear weapons

10:06:46 <coppice> his funky way of pulling noodles one by one looks interesting. the way a chef does it has always looked too hard for me to give it a try

10:11:14 <MrMobodies> what I don't understand is, why is it called HP+ when you loose features that are present in the standard models.
10:11:40 <jaymax> Plus Nothing\

10:11:44 <jaymax> Ooopps

10:12:15 <MrMobodies> I call it HP-
10:12:42 <jaymax> Hewlett Packard Bell .... should explain it all.
10:13:00 <MrMobodies> a joke?

10:20:11 <MrMobodies> it is a MFC-J5910DW
10:20:47 <MrMobodies> it has this issue that if the wifi is turned on it disables ethernet, but turning off the wifi does not seem to turn the ethernet back on until factory reset
10:21:16 <MrMobodies> the owner brought a new printer and it was during lockdown so it was waiting there
10:21:24 <MrMobodies> printer quality seems good on there
10:21:42 <MrMobodies> he used these cheap generics which were okay
10:21:47 <MrMobodies> but they were all leaking

10:22:16 <MrMobodies> there were some problems with the printheads, I took a gamble and brough the genuine cartridges and they all work fine now

11:19:24 <arch> fuck i think i killed my ps3 fan. i used an air blower, and the fan turned the opposite direction really fast
11:19:51 <arch> and now the fan just wiggles. and draws 50ma
11:21:34 <Ampera> Play stupid games, win stupid achievements
11:21:45 <arch> i see what you did there
11:21:50 <Ampera> no great loss, it's just a PS3
11:21:52 <Ampera> barely even useful
11:21:59 <Ampera> >:)
11:22:03 <arch> the fan is dead, not the ps3
11:22:16 <arch> thankfully i unplugged the fan before putting the air blower on
11:22:21 <Ampera> yeah I know, it's a shame you killed your PS3 I guess, but on the bright side you can use something better now
11:22:35 * arch emulates games on Ampera
11:23:30 <arch> oh derp, looks like i worries for no reason
11:23:41 <arch> Apply 12 volts across the brown and black leads; +12 V on brown with return on black. The fan will probably jump a little but it won't start spinning.
11:23:51 <arch> looks like it also needs a pwm signal
11:24:06 <arch> phew

19:33:37 <MrMobodies> Hello
19:34:11 <MrMobodies> Halycon, last week before I was ill, you that sata cable hose that you said looked like a stupid dog play toy
19:34:22 <MrMobodies> I was at the local pubhouse and the dog was downstairs
19:34:35 <MrMobodies> so I had the laptop and I showed the dog the picture
19:34:37 Join: watcher ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
19:34:45 <MrMobodies> it came along and wanted to lick the screen
19:35:02 <MrMobodies> as I took it away climbed the table and the landlady had to pull it away
19:35:04 <watcher> Hello
19:35:21 <MrMobodies> the dog seemed to have got really excited over a picture
19:35:40 <MrMobodies> I mean the audiofoolery sata thing

19:36:38 <MrMobodies> I coped it in Irfanview, cleaned it up, disguised the hand and made it fullscreen
19:37:22 <MrMobodies> the quality wasn't great but it still seemed to like it
19:38:20 <MrMobodies> I'll try it again and film it next time
19:38:43 <MrMobodies> today I am planning to go into Pcworld or Curry's
19:38:57 <MrMobodies> one to look for a monitor for a relative staying here
19:39:02 <MrMobodies> and two to look at some printers
19:39:31 <MrMobodies> I think there maybe problems you see, I better not see the HP "e" models selling
19:39:51 <MrMobodies> and some fancy salesman turns up talking bullshit about how great and easy they are to use
19:40:49 <MrMobodies> if they try that one me they'd won't be any restraint, I'd have a right go at them, if they can't answer by basic questions
19:41:42 <MrMobodies> and of they promote the garage HP e models and fail to mention certain things that should be mentioned I'd think they'd be in for a surprise
19:42:37 <MrMobodies> if they talk to me about apps and bullshit, I can tollerate that, as long as they find me a printer that will do what i want it to do, and no nonse lke in 2019 when a customer took me to a branch before I moved
19:43:19 <MrMobodies> there was a young salesman who did try try the charm on but quickly wisened up when I was specific to him about my customers needs on what they want and what they didn't want
19:43:44 <MrMobodies> and all that stuff was in their business catalogue apart from the monitor
19:44:28 <MrMobodies> I recommended a HP printer for the scan feeder and and network scan folder but the ink was nearly £120
19:45:15 <MrMobodies> so she settled for one that was an Epson Ecotank for about £300 (they knocked the price down as a discount just before she paid.
19:45:35 <MrMobodies> I did warn her about the Epson "End of service life" issue but she didn't mind.
19:46:18 <MrMobodies> she said she'd buy another one if it lasted 3 years as she planned to use it a lot
19:47:12 <MrMobodies> no network scan folder, scanning isn't great but the scan buttons depends on some software that don't always work but it is nice and quick print
19:51:11 <MrMobodies> If you, say you want a standlone printer, with ethernet, duplexer, network scan folder would be nice, compact too, NO INTERNET requirement, and the salesman says to you: "internet is needed for everything these days as people use apps on their pc and smartphones". How would you react?
19:56:01 <watcher> "I dont buy youre printer unless you say that my printer and app is supported for the next 10 years. and repeat in my voice recoder app."
19:57:29 <watcher> there is here a law that if the salesman say that something is possible for that specific model you buy the shop/salesman is responseble that it works on my model.
19:58:02 <watcher> so if it will not support for 10 years I can challange the shop
19:59:15 <MrMobodies> I'd want to support the basic printing ports
19:59:42 <MrMobodies> if it requires internet to function and salesman knows and fails the mention this
19:59:54 <MrMobodies> where I have to point it out
20:00:01 <watcher> then you only need to buy the printer and let the salesman say that it support the basic printting ports
20:00:26 <watcher> If not you can gp to court
20:00:32 <MrMobodies> I record with my phone which will be handy
20:00:54 <MrMobodies> if they are honest then it would nice
20:01:12 <watcher> Here technicaly you don't have to record it but it will be easyer to prove it
20:01:32 <MrMobodies> if the salesman is talking bullshit to me
20:01:56 <MrMobodies> that internet is requires for everything
20:02:06 <MrMobodies> do I have ago at them and leave?
20:02:11 <watcher> But if the printer have all the basic printer ports every made and internet access the salesman was right
20:02:30 <MrMobodies> but if the printer refuses to operate without internet access
20:02:31 <watcher> You can do that
20:02:56 <MrMobodies> that's what I am going to find out today which salesman
20:03:06 Join: Erlend^SE ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
20:03:13 <MrMobodies> if they are HP non e models then no argument
20:03:17 <watcher> than you had it this case let the salesman say that it dont need internet to work.

22:59:46 <Ampera> My hard drive woes are getting weirder. The drive which ZFS marked as faulted before due to read errors has been marked as such again, as well as another hard drive in a different pool
23:00:06 <Ampera> but a zpool clear accepts the drive into the pool again, with no problems
23:00:23 <Ampera> I'm almost wondering if there are heat or vibration issues with the drives
23:00:48 <jaymax> ZFS is high maintenance? Surprising.....
23:02:43 * Ampera removes the hard stick shoved firmly up jaymax's ass
23:02:49 <Ampera> I now proclaim myself, King Arthur!
23:03:01 <jaymax> Also watch out for flaky cables - any split-second bump will degrade the pool, too.
23:03:36 <Ampera> Good idea, I should check that.
23:03:49 <jaymax> I mean why TF do I say ZFS is overkill? I've been there.
23:04:20 <Ampera> I'm not convinced you know a whole lot after insisting 8GB is a lot of RAM
23:04:51 <jaymax> 8GB RAM is *uncommon*.
23:05:02 <Ampera> whatever
23:05:12 <jaymax> I *love* using 12, 16, 128.
23:06:06 <Ampera> This is weird. It seems that other drive fell out of the pool before I wrote much to it. The resilvering is taking more than trivial amounts of time.
23:07:07 <jaymax> Oh, if you have an Icy Dock cage for your drives, then welcome to my other hell I experienced.

23:08:08 * jaymax appreciates,.
23:08:14 <Ampera> The cable routing is a bit funky. That being said, the failures occurred on two different backplanes (there are 5 in total), and one drive has been operating successfully for over half a year
23:09:29 <Ampera> I think I might look into installing rubber washers on all the drive sleds, if it's a vibration issue that may help. I might also look into buying different fans for that, as I currently have CFM optimized fans, when static pressure ones might be better for that specific application
23:09:31 <jaymax> Drive not butting against your backplane, likely.
23:10:47 <jaymax> steve30: I was expecting a "meow" for each "pop".
23:11:07 <steve30> hehe
23:13:03 <jaymax> The WinME Movie Maker gives it a great touch.
