00:41:20 <Ampera> mmm, I get to take my car to the DMV to re-register it in a couple weeks
00:41:51 <Ampera> actually I can't take my car, I'm gonna ideally take a different car, lol
00:42:07 <Ysjoelfir> whats a dmv?
00:42:17 <Ampera> Department of Motor Vehicles
00:42:28 <Ysjoelfir> ah
00:42:32 <Ysjoelfir> that sounds reasonable
00:42:36 <Ampera> It's all some big mess with the insurance. I've been on my dad's for the past couple years, and they had an okay rate
00:42:50 <Ampera> then we told them that I am a woman now, and they charged me about 50% more
00:43:07 <Ampera> so I'm going to go on my own insurance, but that requires re-registering the car
00:43:21 <Ysjoelfir> ...lol? XD so much about equality and stuff
00:43:45 <Ampera> I went from about 600$/6mo to 1000$/6mo
00:44:00 <K> pfft
00:44:01 <Ampera> just from a single letter difference on my driver's license >.>
00:44:03 <Ysjoelfir> what the fucking fuck? is that a bentley?
00:44:11 <Ampera> it's a subuwu
00:44:16 <Ysjoelfir> lol?
00:44:17 <K> sububu
00:44:21 <Ysjoelfir> what kind?
00:44:27 <Ysjoelfir> just out of curiosity, I want to calculate that here
00:44:28 <Ampera> Impreza, 5d 5MT
00:44:32 <Ampera> 2.0L
00:44:39 <Ampera> '22
00:45:12 <Ysjoelfir> limo or wagon?
00:45:30 <Ampera> "wagon"
00:45:32 <Ysjoelfir> hybrid, gas or diesel?
00:45:41 <Ampera> gas gas gassssss
00:45:54 <Ysjoelfir> how many horses?
00:45:58 <Ampera> uhhhh
00:46:01 <Ampera> 152bhp?
00:46:11 <Ysjoelfir> I can offer 118 or 160
00:46:16 <Ampera> 160 then
00:46:25 <Ampera> obviously my car is a US one
00:46:37 <Ysjoelfir> "there is no vehicle in existance matching the specs provided". lol. xD
00:46:43 <Ampera> no shit
00:46:43 <Ysjoelfir> let me try around a bit
00:46:55 <Ampera> my current offer is around 700$/6mo
00:47:12 <Ampera> and also the peace of mind that I am actually the insured and registered name on the car
00:48:13 <Ampera> I am both surprised and actually not really that surprised that you think insurance is so much cheaper there
00:48:28 <Ysjoelfir> got one. model year 2020, 150 horses (that wasnt available before) and supposedly its a limo. lol
00:48:32 <Ysjoelfir> you are how old?
00:48:33 <Ampera> usually european countries do everything they can to make driving more expensive, but I guess you actually train your drivers
00:48:39 <Ysjoelfir> yep
00:48:40 <Ysjoelfir> we do
00:48:47 <Ampera> mine is a 2022
00:48:49 <Ysjoelfir> licenses over here cost nowadays up to 5 grand....
00:48:53 <Ampera> and, I am 22 years old
00:49:05 <Ampera> my license cost about 100 bucks all in, not counting the gas to learn how to drive
00:49:31 <Ampera> my driver's test took less than 10 minutes
00:49:32 <Ysjoelfir> lol
00:49:39 <Ampera> and I had one traffic light and the rest was all stop signs
00:49:45 <Ysjoelfir> how much do you drive per year? roughly
00:49:56 <Ampera> 20,000km
00:50:47 <electrohead> sups
00:50:52 <Ysjoelfir> so that would be 760 eurodollars
00:50:54 * Ampera offers electrohead some soup
00:50:55 <Ysjoelfir> per year
00:51:06 <Ampera> so basically a little more than half of what I'd be paying
00:51:39 <Ysjoelfir> and I calculated the absolutely worst possible conditions with no previous insurances, no experience and in the crime capitol of germany, eg. frankfurt on main
00:52:14 <Ampera> I have previous insurance, a few years experience, and live in an average crime area with average drivers
00:52:32 <Ampera> also my actual car is newer
00:53:14 <Ysjoelfir> nah, I said its from 22, but its the model of 2020. and for one year of experience you get a reduction of.... let me see
00:53:17 <Ampera> The way they tend to work, is insurance doesn't start getting cheaper until you're about 25-27
00:53:30 <Ampera> I have about 2.5 yrs experience
00:53:38 <Ampera> and my model is 2022 from the year of 2022
00:54:33 <Ysjoelfir> ok, that doesn't exist in germany than ;-P recalculated for 3 years experience and now you live in Dresden instead of Hamburg, now you have to pay 470,46€
00:54:44 <Ysjoelfir> *instead of frankfurt
00:54:47 <Ampera> a year?
00:54:51 <Ysjoelfir> yip
00:54:55 <Ampera> bruh
00:55:28 <Ampera> that's basically married person in your 40's driving a prius living in a gated community here
00:55:37 <Ysjoelfir> if you would have a volkswagen that would probably double. and tripple if its a beemer or a benz
00:56:39 <Ysjoelfir> for my 2018 volkswagon golf I pay pretty much exactly that price (though with 16 years experience, and with extended insurance that also pays eg. if a storm kills my car, or someone sets it on fire)
00:57:43 <Ysjoelfir> thing is, over here the rates are calculated, of cours, by your age and experience, but also by a location class and quite a bit by the kind of car you have. as subarus aren't common over here, they have less accidents, so the rates are down. my volkswagon is owned by every second person, so rates are freakishly high
00:58:36 <Ampera> subarus are very common here, and have a reputation for being driven more rubber side up than down
00:58:57 <Ampera> I basically live in peak subaru country
00:59:34 <Ampera> that being said, they also tend to get driven by lesbians and doctors, so that might be a mitigating factor
01:01:51 <Ampera> Here mercs get driven by drug dealers, and beemers by douchebags
01:02:09 <Ampera> drug dealers also like chrystlers for some reason, idk why
01:02:34 <Ampera> normal people drive honda and toyota, those are basically the two most common
01:06:37 <rust_collector> morns
01:25:00 <Ysjoelfir> I heard, is weekend!
01:25:07 <Ysjoelfir> I will move my lazy ass to home now
01:25:12 <Ysjoelfir> have an enjoy everyone
01:25:16 <rust_collector> blah
01:25:34 <Ysjoelfir> ok, you have suffers than
01:25:39 <rust_collector> ok
01:25:47 <Ysjoelfir> :P
02:07:37 <coppice> Ampera: so you'd stereotyped all of humanity by car brand?
02:07:49 <Ampera> coppice, absolutely
02:18:17 <coppice> Ampera: so, who drives a Daihatsu or Suzuki?
02:20:39 <Ampera> Daihatsu doesn't exist here, but from what I know, likely broke people. Suzuki is broke people and people who want the reputation of a jeep owner but can't actually afford to be a jeep owner
02:29:16 <coppice> The Jimny is a really fun car. A lot more so than most Jeeps
02:55:02 <arch> how do you do, fellow doers?
02:56:41 <coppice> Ampera: have you ever seen people taking a Jimny off road? They do remarkably well against much bigger off roaders
02:56:50 <Ysjoelfir> done, arch
02:57:06 <Ampera> arch, I ordered two new blurays. Jojo set 1, and serial experiments lain
02:57:08 <Ampera> :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
02:57:19 <Ampera> coppice, I try not to look at people's jimmys unless they buy me dinner first
02:59:25 <coppice> Ampera: Its Jimny. not Jimmy
02:59:41 <arch> Ampera, ahh, you are truly on the path to admiring extremely muscular men
02:59:56 <Ampera> arch, and the best part is it isn't even gay
02:59:58 <Ampera> >:DDDDDDD
03:00:02 <arch> \o/
03:00:11 <arch> :o eevbot is gone!
03:00:24 <coppice> Ampea: do you only see those Suzukis in the US? In most countries people associate Suzuki with budget hatchbacks
03:00:57 <Ampera> Suzukis are very uncommon cars, I only see one once in a blue moon
03:01:12 <Ampera> I think the main reputation they have here is for being very cheap cars, similar to mitsubishis
03:01:23 <Ampera> I don't even know if they sell that jimny thing here
03:02:05 <coppice> How things have changed. 30 years ago nobody associated Mitsubishi with cheap cars
03:02:27 <Ampera> One interesting thing I've noted, is how different of a reputation the mirage seems to have in Europe
03:02:47 <coppice> yeah, here its a jet fighter
03:02:50 <Ampera> Here they are genuinely the cheapest possible car you could ever possibly buy brand new, while they seem to be given a bit more respect and even trimming over there
03:04:31 <coppice> I don't think they sell those very small cars here. They used to sell big luxury cars and the Pajero/Montera/Shogun which was built like a tank. Now they pretty much only sell the Outlander and a smaller SUVish thing I can't remember the name of
03:04:49 <Ampera> A friend of mine in Ireland has a mirage
03:05:01 <Ampera> and even though it's definitely a cheap/small car, it seems a lot nicer compared to other options
03:06:19 <coppice> Mitsubishi's UK site does list the Mirage. We don't see them. The Mitsubishi pick-ups are still popular here
03:06:44 <Ampera> I saw something that looked remarkably like a Hyundai pickup a month or so ago on the road
03:06:59 <coppice> Hyundai make lots of pickups
03:07:19 <Ampera> It looked more like a subaru baja, and had a comically tiny bed
03:07:36 <Ampera> It had a very, asian company tries to make a big tonka truck, aesthetic
03:07:54 <coppice> I don't know if there are Kia ones, but there are small are fairly large (at least by Euro standards) Hyundai ones
03:08:38 <Ampera> Toyota and Nissan are the two most common asian pickup brands here, with Toyotas definitely being legendary
03:08:43 <Ampera> Honda makes pickups, but I never see them much
03:08:55 <Ampera> their offerings never looked super competitive to me
03:10:22 <coppice> Honda's rarely look competitive until you find how little trouble they are likely to give you
03:10:41 <Ampera> I'd probably buy a taco if I wanted a truck. They're the only ones in the US mass market that have a manual as an option

03:11:20 <Ampera> coppice: Is it going to be that much better than a toyota though?
03:11:28 <Ampera> I mean toyota trucks have a legendary reputation too
03:12:11 Join: Meroje ([email protected]) to #eevblog
03:12:40 <Ampera> The real mystery is why Nissan trucks are popular, or even Nissan in general
03:12:50 <Ampera> they seem intent on stiffing their customers at any and all opportunities
03:13:14 <Ampera> I think they tend to sell a lot of units on list price and features, as opposed to actual reliability or service reputation
03:26:07 <electrohead> one more small bug, and the bot will be back online
03:27:46 <T3sl4> lol, the local dealer keeps sending me alerts every once in a while (3mo?) that, oh hey, that loan you have, we can change it out for another car if you'd like...
03:27:55 <T3sl4> 1. i bought my car used, 2. i paid cash
03:28:20 <T3sl4> probably the only reason they have me on file is because i went there for the airbag recall work
03:42:57 <MrMobodies> I am not pleased
03:43:40 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/F66OPid.png
03:44:04 <MrMobodies> I let the seller know if it doesnt work properly this could be why
03:44:32 <MrMobodies> no anti static bag but packaged in bubble wrap
03:44:37 <MrMobodies> Do you think I should test it or send it back?
03:45:06 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/rUQEHip.png
03:45:39 <electrohead> Oof, what a fucking moron
03:45:58 <electrohead> Going by color, the bubble wrap is totally not ESD safe
03:46:01 <coppice> T3sl4: I hear the car market is a little bit weak at the moment, and car dealers are disappearing fast
03:46:06 <Ysjoelfir> dont judge by color
03:46:16 <electrohead> MrMobodies: I'd test it first, before sending any message, you could get lucky
03:46:39 <T3sl4> we can only hope
03:46:53 <electrohead> Ysjoelfir: the clear plastic screams it's not ESD safe lol
03:46:58 <Ysjoelfir> there totally is "white" bubble wrap that is dissipative. as there is blue, silver and pink ones that isn't.
03:47:15 <Ysjoelfir> but I agree, going by these soft looking fat bubbles, I doubt it as well
03:47:18 <electrohead> really? I've never come across ESD safe white/clear bubble wrap
03:47:26 <Ysjoelfir> we use it at work
03:47:37 <electrohead> fair enough then, lol
03:47:49 <electrohead> !beers T3sl4
03:47:53 <Ysjoelfir> in theory you can get the stuff in all colors

14:39:37 <Halcyon> Fucking cats are peeing outside my front door again.
14:40:15 <Halcyon> Filthy, useless creatures
14:40:17 <steve30> That's because you didn't let them in to go to the toilet :)
14:40:46 <Halcyon> It's really starting to annoy me now, I'm considering trapping or poisoning them. They are a menace around here
14:41:00 <Halcyon> Their owners need to be more responsible and keep them inside
14:42:01 <rust_collector> hmm, try heat sensitive explosives strapped to them, so when they go inside their home, they explode, and never go out again?
14:42:15 <Halcyon> I'd have to catch the fuckers first
14:42:42 <rust_collector> well, there are many kinds of adhesives out there
14:44:43 <Halcyon> Paracetamol crushed up in tuna should do the job
14:45:07 <steve30> mmm, paracetamol
14:45:22 <rust_collector> eh? I do not think I have heard about that.
14:45:32 <Halcyon> Yeah highly toxic to cats
14:45:47 <rust_collector> hm. interesting.
14:46:19 <rust_collector> not that I would waste such things on cats. There are reasons why one has a flame thrower
14:47:15 <Halcyon> They need to just start issuing fines to cat owners who just let the cats roam around
15:31:36 <steve30> I need to go and make a video today but i'm not sure whether to record the speech as I'm doing it, or whether I should do voiceover afterwards
15:33:29 <remote> oh do talk in one language for video and another for voiceover :)
16:07:11 <rust_collector> use one of those translator voices
16:07:53 <MrMobodies> the board works
16:08:19 <MrMobodies> I was almost about to send it back when I discovered that it needs at least two memory slots to be populated
16:08:34 <MrMobodies> the original heatsink don't fit so I bodged something up with brackets
16:09:05 <MrMobodies> 4k video and google earth I get about 50c
16:10:33 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/UMkVdwH.png
16:10:52 <MrMobodies> I got that Zalman heatsink down the bootsale for £2 in 2018
16:11:01 <MrMobodies> I had the ones that stand up
16:11:08 <MrMobodies> and some brackets left
16:12:10 <MrMobodies> so managed to fit it tight for now using a zm-cs2011 kit and a clip mean't for an AMD cpu I think
16:12:32 <MrMobodies> the one for the Intel screws down
16:12:52 <MrMobodies> it goes into a gap in the heatsink but this one don't have a gap
16:13:16 <MrMobodies> plays 4k video very nicely on youtube but struggles at 8k
16:13:19 <rust_collector> hm, old nvidia card.
16:13:31 <MrMobodies> a Quadro K620
16:13:52 <MrMobodies> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256284820134

16:14:14 <MrMobodies> I put it in the case and the headers connectors fit and work
16:14:30 <MrMobodies> it had an old quo core in there and thought it might be an opportunity
16:15:08 <MrMobodies> he likes the case
16:15:27 <MrMobodies> it is sentimental and wants it speeded up
16:16:09 <MrMobodies> copied my special copy of windows 10 and it took 4 seconds to load
16:16:24 <MrMobodies> past post, isn't that nice
16:16:45 <rust_collector> I like the old cases. the new ones seems to be made only to be big and black and black, and have a glass side panel, and space for a million leds
16:16:47 <MrMobodies> it is rather old, no onboard video but 16g of ddr3 ram
16:17:17 <MrMobodies> Some of the new dell ones, i think it was dell? are crap
16:17:31 <MrMobodies> they have this removable grill in the front or some cover
16:17:38 <MrMobodies> it snaps off and won't stay in
16:17:51 <MrMobodies> there were many of them doing that at that Mencap charity
16:18:05 <MrMobodies> they were buying all the cheapest crapiest models you can get
16:18:28 <MrMobodies> I just wondered if it cost them more replacing the parts, like the keyboards, palmrest, screen cables
16:18:58 <rust_collector> that is under a different budget, than buying new computers, probably
16:19:03 <MrMobodies> that was before they said I couldn't bring anything in and they had a one person toolbox for 4 people
16:19:13 <MrMobodies> aaah
16:19:31 <MrMobodies> these were terrible, the Dell laptops they had rubber on the edges
16:19:46 <MrMobodies> nothing to support it and they use to crack and fall apart
16:20:49 <MrMobodies> maybe it is best I am not there being used to fix up their poorly built things designed to break
16:21:17 <MrMobodies> I don't mind if it is a genuine fault or something they overlook but it was pathetic
16:22:06 <MrMobodies> out of over 20 laptops I think about half had these cracks on the palmrest due to the poor support. Instead of plastic on the edges they subsituted it for rubber
16:22:31 <MrMobodies> where the connectors usb ports were and it had hollow gaps
16:27:18 <rust_collector> have you tried to change the graphics card version, like... there was a thread on the eevblaarg about different resistors that needed to be in different combinations, to work as a quadro or geforce, or...stuff
16:30:36 <MrMobodies> it is already a quadro
16:30:37 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/7pOpasO.png
16:30:52 <MrMobodies> I use to use this tool before on the older ones without doing all tht
16:31:01 <rust_collector> yes, and that is not always the best. it depends on what you want it to do, no?
16:31:04 <MrMobodies> I think it was called Rivatuner 4.0 in 2009
16:31:53 <MrMobodies> to do with turning on the masked units but I heard they put a stop to when they announced something about laserlocking/or cutting traces/wires to stop that from happening
16:32:39 <MrMobodies> It is an Nvidia Quadro 620 I go for £16
16:32:47 <MrMobodies> the k2200 was near £40
16:32:59 <rust_collector> yep, good night

18:08:06 <MrMobodies> they talk about the history of electricity
18:08:50 <MrMobodies> and talk of smart meter which is nothing new just another name for them before 2010, peak tarriffs as one of them.. Utter bullshit
18:09:48 <MrMobodies> SMART AND SMARTER: A NEW MILESTONE
18:10:03 <MrMobodies> Notice the frame and size is larger than everything else
18:11:21 <MrMobodies> I heard negativity about the suspicions for charging by peak times in the past when it comes to utilities now they are boasting about it like it is a good thing
18:12:29 <MrMobodies> OOps it is not an article, a blooming advert,

18:14:05 <MrMobodies> Last I hear are people loosing confidence in them and there was a program on about it some days ago

18:22:02 <MrMobodies> "they're super important for the energy transition and unlock the power of smart tariffs.
18:22:56 <MrMobodies> I suppose they mean charging for peak time and insecure market rate
18:23:49 <MrMobodies> "smart tariffs" I would what that is suppose to mean. Are they saying I am too stupid to understanding and filled it in with the word smart"
18:30:09 <MrMobodies> I find it is like saying it is magical and nothing is magical
18:30:16 <MrMobodies> Anyway I am off to bed night
