01:09:22 <electrohead> daaaamn
02:27:34 <LordGeir> That gives a whole new meaning to "knocked out by beer" :P
02:49:25 <electrohead> for sure, lol

02:51:03 <Ampera> asian market haul
02:51:23 <electrohead> need moar noodles
02:53:53 <coppice> Ampera: so, you really like haw flakes
02:54:00 <Ampera> Yes, yes I do
02:54:24 <Ampera> though I haven't had the smaller style, the ones I've had were larger
02:54:55 <coppice> My kids used to eat a lot of those when they were small. Those exact packs, in fact. Now they've lost interest in them
02:55:10 <Ampera> They're dangerous
02:55:29 <coppice> huh?
02:55:39 <Ampera> They tend to disappear around me.
02:55:52 <Ampera> in short order no less
02:56:53 <Ampera> I am of course not talking about the food coloring, lol
02:57:11 <coppice> looks like you got all genuine Asian packs
02:58:17 <Ampera> I get a different brand each time
02:58:25 <rust_collector> here, the indo mie stuff is made under license, in serbia
02:58:54 <Ampera> I think ours come straight from Indonesia
02:59:04 <rust_collector> probably
03:17:21 <xgpt> That indo more stuff is super addicting. Can't eat regular instant ramen anymore. Doesn't help that the American brands are absolutely crap
03:27:55 <coppice> Indonesian cuisine is pretty good in general

04:08:24 <xgpt> I wouldn't say I've ever really had Indonesian cuisine, heard good things, but I'm not going to judge a culture's culinary contributions based on it's export ramen 😂
04:09:09 <rust_collector> but what country has in general bad cousine? not going to suggest anything here
04:09:48 <xgpt> I mean. England literally colonized the entire world for spices, then proceeded to go back home and then not use any of them
04:18:21 <xgpt> I'd vote for that. But they do have Tikka masala, which is amazing

04:39:42 <rust_collector> happy day of creamy bun
04:39:54 <Ysjoelfir> I still would love to have some
04:40:05 <Ysjoelfir> but I have meatloaf with noodles. is also ok

04:46:47 <rust_collector_> i wonder if they think people will listen more to them, if they are yelling at you.
04:50:37 <Ysjoelfir> I always wonder if these antifa idiots understand what they are even protesting for
04:51:41 <Ysjoelfir> and I still really like the hats of your police guys
04:55:01 <Ysjoelfir> oh and of course thanks for sharing, steve30 :D
05:15:48 <electrohead> !beer Ysjoelfir
05:15:48 * EEVBot viciously drowns Ysjoelfir in a vat of warm, putrid beer
05:15:52 <electrohead> nooooo

05:15:57 * EEVBot offers liquid awesomeness to Ysjoelfir
05:16:01 <electrohead> there we go :p
05:16:09 * Ysjoelfir almost died
05:16:19 * Ysjoelfir enjoys a beer as compensation
05:17:46 <steve30> Ysjoelfir, do you prefer the tall hats or the flat ones?
05:18:05 <Ysjoelfir> I love the tall ones, though I personally would wear a flat one
05:19:13 <Ampera> xpgt, there are american brands of instant ramen?

05:30:46 <electrohead> the noodle talk is making me want to get some, now
05:30:49 <electrohead> damn y'all
05:33:21 * electrohead eyes up the 24 pack of ramen on amazon for $8
05:33:41 <electrohead> was thinking about spicy noodles or something, and, well .. all the habaneros I have, I can just make my own
05:54:55 <rust_collector> do you dry them, or do you just eat them, lol
05:55:19 <rust_collector> I think they would be nice, if you dried and ground them to powder?
05:58:54 <electrohead> "yes"
05:59:23 <rust_collector> makes sense
06:04:05 <electrohead> just the other day I ate one in about three bites, and hoooly shit
06:04:12 <electrohead> was a spicy boy
06:20:41 <Ysjoelfir> electrohead doesn't only have a gorgeous facial cunt, he is also a spicy boy
06:23:13 <electrohead> <3
06:38:10 <MrMobodies> I got the dredded returns form but today the seller refunded me. That's nice for a change but some effort or money waste.
06:38:38 <rust_collector> what?
06:39:52 <electrohead> hrmm?
06:40:17 <Ysjoelfir> eh?
06:43:23 <MrMobodies> somone wanted me to buy a newer board for their old Dell case
06:43:27 <MrMobodies> I found one
06:43:32 <MrMobodies> fo £30
06:43:45 <MrMobodies> it worked really well
06:44:04 <Ysjoelfir> why would someone try to upgrade a dell?
06:44:08 <MrMobodies> but really old I7, with a Quadro k620
06:44:16 <MrMobodies> I try to talk him out of it
06:44:22 <MrMobodies> citing bodging
06:44:33 <MrMobodies> but he was insistant
06:45:16 <MrMobodies> I did have to bodge the fan connector provide extra cooling etc and it plays 4v video without dropping frames
06:46:35 <MrMobodies> the fault was intermittent at first
06:46:48 <MrMobodies> I'd find it powered on by itself
06:47:25 <MrMobodies> now after shutting down it turns back on after 5 seconds or so, loud fan, until hitting power button
06:47:52 <MrMobodies> I suspect worn caps or the way it was packaged inbetween the bubble with the anti static bag
06:52:29 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/o55tPoW.png
06:52:58 <MrMobodies> The next person who makes these demands I'll just refuse.
06:53:22 <MrMobodies> With the non standard connectors it's just not worth it regardless if it is cheap or not.
06:54:14 <MrMobodies> A nice little story for them how I got cut short.
07:01:41 <MrMobodies> Mentour pilot

07:02:35 <electrohead> wagos?
07:03:00 <MrMobodies> I ordered the fan
07:03:02 <rust_collector> wagyu connectors are nice
07:03:07 <Ysjoelfir> Mentour Pilot is nice. But yes. I agree
07:03:11 <MrMobodies> and it came with a different connector
07:03:44 <MrMobodies> So I found a 4 pin header out of a scrapped fan in my collection of scrapped things and bodged it on
07:03:53 <MrMobodies> and it seems to work okay
07:04:09 <MrMobodies> the previous fan which did fit and did work kept on speeding up and down
07:04:44 <MrMobodies> previous fan (12v 0.70 amp) This fan with heatsink (12v 0.50 amp)
07:05:09 <MrMobodies> so obviously different start and stop voltages and rpm.
07:05:37 <MrMobodies> I did make sure they were tight and can't move
07:06:15 <Ysjoelfir> fans speeding up and down sounds like temp control...
07:07:15 <electrohead> blasphemy!
07:12:23 <rust_collector> good good
07:20:01 <MrMobodies> it was the other fan out of the heatsink
07:20:12 <MrMobodies> but alright after adapter the fan on the correct heatsink
08:04:08 <electrohead> !beer MrMobodies
08:04:08 * EEVBot bathes MrMobodies in beer
08:04:35 <rust_collector> no no, dont do that, he will get pregnant
08:04:49 <electrohead> lmfao
08:05:27 <rust_collector> there is a connection between unwanted pregnancies and alcohol, I think
08:05:42 <electrohead> I think so too
08:06:21 <rust_collector> I am so glad I have had covid a few times now, so I
08:06:40 <rust_collector> probably wont be able to reproduce
08:07:23 <electrohead> lol
08:40:06 * steve30 coffees
08:51:50 <MrMobodies> Steve30, I hear the government are cutting more funding
08:51:59 <MrMobodies> As councils are going bankrupt
08:52:28 <MrMobodies> some of them are closing CitizensAdvice which I heard was mostly run by volunteers
08:52:40 <MrMobodies> now schools have to sack teachers to balance the budget
08:52:53 <MrMobodies> I didn't think they could cut it any more
08:53:08 <steve30> well, they need to win some votes from somewhere
08:53:10 <MrMobodies> I thought the CitizensAdvice would be the last thing they'd cut.
08:53:30 <steve30> We barely have citizens advice here any more as the building it was in got knocked down
08:54:25 <MrMobodies> Woking and now Mansfield which had being helping the homelessness
08:54:30 <MrMobodies> and vulnerable people
08:54:59 <MrMobodies> last I read, something on the lines of "In schools there is no more fat to be trimmed off"
08:55:17 <MrMobodies> with over 30 to 50 students per class
08:56:17 <MrMobodies> it was on the news and Observer but can't find article
08:56:37 <MrMobodies> if they keep on cutting more, what option will the public be left with I wonder
08:56:52 <MrMobodies> I imagine one option they may consider is civil war of some sort
08:57:30 <MrMobodies> https://www.theguardian.com/education/2024/feb/10/teachers-facing-redundancy-as-record-number-of-english-schools-fall-into-deficit
08:57:30 <EEVBot> [url] Teachers facing redundancy as record number of English schools fall into deficit | Education | The Guardian | www.theguardian.com
08:58:44 <MrMobodies> according to the Observer, one headteacher has to merge a large classroom with special needs/vulnberable students, which could cause problems. She says she has no choice she has to balance the books.
08:59:35 <MrMobodies> last year one said they had to knocked down classrooms to merge and they have nothing left to give where they had to ration things like stationary
08:59:55 <MrMobodies> it doesn't seem to be looking good
09:00:39 <MrMobodies> maybe there is where some of that money is going

09:01:42 <MrMobodies> That's the wife.
09:02:24 <MrMobodies> oh and to add to insult
09:02:55 <MrMobodies> Our council has sent a letter putting the council rates/ tax up by 21% which is over £200 more a year.
09:04:51 <MrMobodies> 1: water down, cut cut cut, charge more, tax increase, the promises and then step 1.

09:44:32 <electrohead> bring (them) into the chat, lol
09:46:28 <rust_collector> you are dating a them?
10:04:04 <grem> Ampera
10:07:27 <Ampera> grem
10:07:54 <Ampera> electrohead, it went well, he's a lil awkward but a nice guy and has interests
10:14:03 <rust_collector> pfff, interests....
10:15:04 <grem> nothing
10:15:06 Join: xgpt ([email protected]) to #eevblog
10:22:32 <steve30> ok, i'm curious, what kind of interests?
10:26:17 <Halcyon> Yeah Ampera, tell us
10:26:48 <Halcyon> Does he want to dress you up in a furry suit?
10:33:07 <Ampera> anime, video games
10:33:10 <Ampera> normal stuff
10:33:19 <Ampera> (so far that he's said)
10:35:11 <rust_collector> mmhmmmm
10:38:08 <electrohead> lol
11:06:50 <Halcyon> Oh, I thought you were going to tell me he's into something saucy
11:10:41 <steve30> is he cute? :p
11:14:32 <Ampera> He is cute.
11:21:33 <Halcyon> Is he hung?
11:22:24 <grem> lol
11:22:34 <grem> asking the real questions
11:22:42 <Halcyon> *shrug* I felt that was the next realistic question
11:23:01 <Halcyon> Oh yeah grem, it gets far worse in the gay community, I won't subject you to the filth.
11:25:53 <electrohead> lol
11:26:11 <Halcyon> I should probably go do the lawns before it gets too hot
11:30:34 <Ampera> gay dating culture is horrific
11:31:59 <Halcyon> I wouldn't exactly call it "dating" a lot of the time. But yes, it's pretty brutal.
11:37:26 <steve30> what's wrong with it?
11:37:43 <steve30> granted, i've never been on a date with a girl before, so I can't compare
11:38:01 <Ampera> I'm not a gay guy, but I get the impression it's heavily focused on hookups and sex
11:38:07 <Ampera> or at least that's the reputation
11:38:32 <steve30> nothing wrong with sex :p
11:38:49 <Ampera> yeah but basing a relationship on it seems
11:38:51 <Ampera> rough
11:39:28 <electrohead> that's what he said
11:45:21 * steve30 wants a boyfriend
11:46:36 * electrohead wants a girlfriend
11:46:41 <electrohead> touche.
11:47:15 <Halcyon> I'm horny for a fried chicken burger
11:47:25 <Ampera> I'm not sure what I want
11:47:37 <Ampera> or really, what I'm doing
11:47:54 <Ampera> This guy seems nice, but I also feel like I'm still the one pushing
11:48:18 <Ampera> I don't think it's ever a good sign if I have to hard carry a relationship or be the one who has to come up with what we're gonna do
11:48:21 <steve30> Ampera, have you slept with any of these guys yet?
11:48:33 <Ampera> I've only been on first dates
11:48:42 <Ampera> I also am just not sure what I'd even have to offer a guy
11:49:02 <steve30> You don't have to offer them anything. You just have to like each other.
11:49:12 <Ampera> no I mean, physically, mechanically
11:49:14 <Ampera> idk what I'd do
11:49:16 <steve30> Also, nothing wrong with snuggling up on a first date.
11:49:17 <electrohead> legit - where can I watch the US superbowl, live?
11:50:06 <Ampera> steve30, tbh I think it's a bit too quick. We hugged, probably a kiss would be as far as I'm willing to go on a first date.
11:50:31 <Ampera> I'm a lot more reserved and nervous about what a guy's gonna do to me, and I want to actually know who I'm dealing with before I place that much trust on them
11:51:52 <MrMobodies> Steve30? If I have an ear infection
11:51:57 <MrMobodies> https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/seven-illnesses-patients-told-not-32006772
11:51:58 <EEVBot> [url] Seven illnesses patients told not to see GP over and to go to pharmacist instead from today - Mirror Online | www.mirror.co.uk
11:52:05 <Ampera> idk I think I just still feel bad and afraid that I was born a guy. The further I go, the more I feel like I have so little, and that the body that I was given is simply not one I can use to function like this.
11:52:22 <MrMobodies> Do you think that means that my GP can refuse to see me?
11:52:41 <MrMobodies> At my local pub they were explaining to me what "dating" was.
11:52:55 <steve30> Doctors receptionists generally refuse to let people see the doctor anyway regardless of condition :D
11:53:37 <electrohead> nevermind
11:53:37 <MrMobodies> My left ear nearly exploded in 2010, when my GP shut for the weekend and went into a polyclinic where they lied to me. I got the antibiotics then and last year for it.
11:53:53 <steve30> Ampera, that makes sense, and there is nothing wrong with leaving "relations" till later. I don't tend to sleep with guys on the first date, but i am open minded to doing so.
11:54:03 <MrMobodies> I am worried if it happens again if I get through they can then use that excuse to go to pharmacy.
11:54:43 <MrMobodies> I could go there and write down if they think it requires a GP then they can't use that as an excuse.
11:55:30 <steve30> MrMobodies, pharmacists are usually very helpful. If you have a problem you can usually walk in off the street and ask them. You can always ask to speak to the pharmacist in a private room if necessary. There's no harm in calling in to the pharmacy to enquire about a problem before ringing the doctor.
11:56:44 <Ampera> I've had a long day >.<
11:56:57 <MrMobodies> Yes, Ill do that so the GP don't see me on a wild goosechase
11:57:00 <MrMobodies> I went to Peterborough A&E last year as an idea of mine so we don't waste time, 24 hour wait sign to see gp as expected. Travelling after to the Whittlesey Jenner Center" Receptionist: "We are full, have you tried Peterborough a&E" I laughed at them and said I only want to a prescription for a head and chest infection/
11:57:16 <Ampera> I've done probably 4+ hrs of driving, lol
11:57:24 <MrMobodies> when I told them the wait time they they put me in touch with a GP on the phone
11:57:25 <Ampera> went to a store, on a day, cooked, did some paperwork
11:57:50 <MrMobodies> Ampera, do you write with fountain pen?
11:58:10 <Ampera> MrMobodies, I used to when I was in school. If I were to do any serious amount of writing, I would again
11:58:18 <Ampera> however I tend to use ballpoint/bic pens
11:58:24 <MrMobodies> Pharamacies have got to be better than the polyclinics I went too.
11:58:41 <MrMobodies> I like the flow of the fountain pens
11:58:47 <MrMobodies> A certain series of Parker
11:59:10 <MrMobodies> Arrow I think one was
11:59:44 <MrMobodies> taught at my last primary school in evening classes by the headteacher, the one and only good primary school I ever been too which was only for a year
12:00:09 <MrMobodies> I wanted to spend an extra year they but the authorities said no and give someone else the chance who was older than me.
12:00:26 <MrMobodies> They even had a speech therapist there too
12:00:40 <MrMobodies> no booking or waiting
12:00:51 <MrMobodies> all my other schools before that didn't
12:01:07 <MrMobodies> but he taught us joined up writing with the fountain pen
12:01:23 <MrMobodies> and he sometimes use to give some of us a lift home after
12:02:09 <MrMobodies> Maybe Ampera, if you like, I'll send you one over. See if you like it.
12:02:15 <MrMobodies> A gift from me.
12:02:28 <electrohead> MrMobodies: do you know what dating is?
12:02:46 <MrMobodies> https://penhero.com/PenGallery/Parker/Pics/ParkerArrow_05.jpg
12:03:07 <MrMobodies> I was told, when you take someone out for dinner, spend an evening with them doing bugger all etc.
12:04:19 <electrohead> how old are you?
12:04:27 <MrMobodies> I suspect many of daters, are after is how longer your pockets are or what's in your wallet.
12:04:30 <MrMobodies> 39
12:05:09 <Ampera> MrMobodies, are those LAMY compatible cartridges?
12:05:13 <MrMobodies> there are lots of people I don't trust, I just sit by watch them deceive others and thank goodness
12:05:13 <steve30> I have a LAMY fountain pen. Works nicely on some papers, not on others.
12:05:17 <Ampera> idk what the different formats are, but I have tons of LAMY cartridges for my pen
12:05:27 * Ampera demands a coke from steve30
12:05:35 <electrohead> lol
12:05:59 <MrMobodies> I heard of them, my English tutor use to like them at my last secondary school but never gave me the chance to use it
12:06:31 <electrohead> MrMobodies: I think getting laid might fix you
12:06:39 <Ampera> My fountain/cartridge pen was a gift from my uncle as part of a larger school organizer thing
12:06:47 <Ampera> electrohead, that's quite obnoxious :P
12:06:55 <MrMobodies> they told me at the pub, impregnating.
12:06:58 <Ampera> people have tried to tell me that the only thing I need is to get laid and that'll somehow cure me
12:07:12 <Ampera> fucking gross :P
12:07:13 <MrMobodies> ooh that's nice he has an interest too
12:07:23 <electrohead> MrMobodies: getting laid != getting someone pregnant
12:07:36 <electrohead> that's what condoms are for
12:07:50 <MrMobodies> Pregnancy stimulation if they take the contraceptive pills or rubbery things
12:07:53 <electrohead> for as much as I like you, the more you talk ... the more I get pissed off
12:08:00 <MrMobodies> oh
12:08:03 <electrohead> not at you, but your situation
12:08:35 <electrohead> "they told me at the pub, impregnating"
12:08:39 <electrohead> people are fucking with you
12:08:46 <electrohead> I wish I could punch them
12:08:59 <MrMobodies> they said to me they like to impregnate but don't have children
12:09:12 <MrMobodies> I have language problems so I could be saying things wrong too
12:09:32 <MrMobodies> well you might have a point about the barman
12:09:39 <MrMobodies> he is silly too everyone
12:09:40 <electrohead> my man, you have a lot more than just language problems, and people take advantage of that
12:09:56 <MrMobodies> the landlady tells him to shutup and he does, and smiles
12:10:31 <MrMobodies> if there is one place I feel taken advantage of it is that Mencap
12:11:08 <MrMobodies> I teach them things taught me nothing and criticised my tools and their building insurance etc
12:11:37 <MrMobodies> I am bored that's why I go to that pub
12:11:56 <MrMobodies> but they let me do things that they won't allow other people to do
12:12:07 <MrMobodies> host my own disco in the way I want
12:12:16 <MrMobodies> experiment with their gear
12:12:30 <MrMobodies> gives me something to do
12:12:53 <electrohead> I wish I could help you out
12:13:00 <MrMobodies> the barman last night was showing everyone a photo of a girlfriend which turned out to be this naked elderly women with no clothes on
12:13:37 <MrMobodies> electrohead, there's not a lot people can do for me with the way things are.
12:14:57 <MrMobodies> there is a foster dad there who has a young lad. He has been discriminated at school, when he got EHCP where thye keep on expelling him, reduced time table breaking everty law in the book. Unfortunately getting legal aid is nonexistant now.
12:19:20 <MrMobodies> I tried to find out stuff but the legal advice I am reading is that they don't get a solicitor anymore but advice from the Clinical Commissioning Groups if they pass the means testing. Getting advice from the same group of people you are fighting does not make sense to me.

15:45:06 <MrMobodies> Don't you think that is just stupid.
15:45:42 <MrMobodies> Maybe he should try suing his girlfriend but how was she to know.
15:50:32 <MrMobodies> if the black bag was a rubbish bag then that go to show the level of stupidty

15:56:17 <MrMobodies> What do you think the chances of the hard drive staying in one piece and working if it is dug out of the landfill after 10 years?
15:57:51 <MrMobodies> I didn't know you could get things back from the rubbish dumps or landfill.

20:08:02 <Ysjoelfir> For some reason, I can feel his pain every time I try to do linux things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDq_S0WlfgU

20:12:22 <K> video about nothing
20:13:14 <K> strong "outrage generator" vibes from first 5 mins in\=
20:14:25 <K> no gonna finish watching whole thing
20:14:47 <Ysjoelfir> hahahahaha :D
20:15:30 <Ysjoelfir> I think the way you feel is the way most windows users feel when they first touch linux.
20:15:52 <Ysjoelfir> which is annoying as I still want to learn how to linux. but it seems that I am just too dumb :P
20:16:07 <K> i ve touched linux windows and osx a lot
20:16:15 * Ysjoelfir touches K
20:16:18 <K> hnnnggg
20:16:35 <K> osx feels best of the bunch
20:16:43 * Ysjoelfir dies from a heart attack
20:17:01 <K> it is expensive and pig-heeaded at times, but both other are insufferable
20:17:12 <Ysjoelfir> That is actually a thing I hope to never need to touch at all
20:17:13 <K> for desktop use
20:19:37 <Ysjoelfir> that is a nice accompanying video btw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuOCrAaNhjM

20:38:35 <Halcyon> Nicco is cute
20:39:41 <Ysjoelfir> is he? :D
20:39:50 <Halcyon> Yep
20:40:02 <Ysjoelfir> You should contact him :D
20:40:23 <Halcyon> Oh sure "Hey, you're cute. Regards, other side of the world."
20:40:54 <Ysjoelfir> yeh, pretty much like that. not a good idea?
20:41:02 <Halcyon> Seems... creepy?
20:41:07 <Ysjoelfir> nah
20:41:11 <Halcyon> Hahaha
20:41:26 <Halcyon> Hey Ysjoelfir, you're cute. Let me face fuck you.
20:42:09 <Ysjoelfir> No thanks, I'm good. But I appreciate your offer :)
20:42:17 <Halcyon> See :P Let down.
20:43:23 <Ysjoelfir> nah. just bad luck
20:43:37 <Halcyon> Hahah. How are you my friend?
20:43:43 <Ysjoelfir> oh, speaking of that, I uploaded a new video to the tube.
20:43:50 <Ysjoelfir> I am... ok. thanks. ytou?
20:43:55 <Halcyon> I'm well.
20:43:59 <Halcyon> What's your new video?
20:44:30 <Ysjoelfir> let me copy what I wrote to rusty yesterevening. or the day before that
20:45:04 <Halcyon> While you do that, I'll fetch a beverage
20:45:58 <Ysjoelfir> "And yesterday I recorded a new video. Need to cut that and upload it. Somehow I don't know if I should, again. I started rambling a lot about reasons why I stopped making videos and stuff"
20:49:15 <Ysjoelfir> Its me disassembling an old project of mine, basically just some talking hands desoldering things
20:52:29 <Halcyon> Nice, look forward to it
20:53:20 <Ysjoelfir> you would watch that? or better, listen to that
20:53:30 <Halcyon> Absolutely I would
20:53:34 <Halcyon> You have a nice voice.
20:54:18 <Ysjoelfir> and I even used better audio stuff. but ok, if you want.... https://youtu.be/J1eEnwJ2PqM

20:54:49 <Halcyon> Is this your channel?
20:55:00 <Ysjoelfir> yes?
20:55:05 <Halcyon> *subscribed*
20:55:15 <Halcyon> I love your voice. You have very nice diction.
20:55:26 <Ysjoelfir> Thank you
20:55:34 <Ysjoelfir> I need a... plush cover for my mic though
20:55:44 <Halcyon> A pop filter?
20:55:47 <Ysjoelfir> yes
20:55:58 <Ysjoelfir> and somethign to reduce hissing and breathing noises
20:55:59 <Halcyon> It's not too bad. Definitely not annoying.
20:56:43 <Halcyon> I like the commentary. Some people have awkward silences.
20:57:16 <Halcyon> Not a bad project for 16!
20:58:15 <Halcyon> Why is this unlisted? You should open it up
20:59:56 <Ysjoelfir> or maybe I just need a different mic. I decided to take the vid with my phone now, as the quality is better than the old amateur dameras I had. I also got an old wireless mic setup that I used this time, as I hate it when youtube videos are not clear, voice wise. The actual mic though seems to be not the best. and thanks for the compliments :) I took the amp back to the DCMM (german casemodding championship) and it ended as fourth place
20:59:56 <Ysjoelfir> back than, out of.... I think around 30. and its unlisted because I fear my private-ish ramblings are offputting to some people, so I wanted to get some oppinions first, also about quality and stuff
21:00:40 <Halcyon> I am still watching but I think you are restrained, worthy of public viewing
21:00:56 <Halcyon> I think a lot of people will relate
21:03:26 <Halcyon> You speak a lot of sense in this video
21:05:41 <Halcyon> If you do, I would rename the video to more describe both what you are doing, but also what you are talking about. I think it's very important for others.
21:06:54 <Halcyon> You're an extremely clever guy, more people need to hear your wisdom.
21:10:46 <K> tearin out the tubes like a savage, placing on table w/o regard to them rolling away and falling to the ground
21:10:50 <K> i like.
21:11:02 <Halcyon> It's quite a relaxing video in some ways
21:13:41 <Halcyon> It also helps that Ysjoelfir is easy on the eye ;-)
21:15:51 <Ysjoelfir> lol :P
21:16:09 <Ysjoelfir> thanks :) I really appreciate your honest oppinions.
21:16:15 <Halcyon> Of course
21:16:18 <Halcyon> I want to see more
21:18:04 <K> yees yees flick the springy wires w hot molten solder on them
21:18:17 * K squeals in delight
21:18:58 <Ysjoelfir> I have a lot of fun taking these videos, and talking about the stuff I do. I intend to continue this video series, so at least the amp will be rebuild, as its my daily amp at the PC desk and I miss being able to hear stuff ;-P
21:19:26 <Halcyon> Well you have a subscriber
21:19:27 <K> yeah, you don't need eyes to listen!
21:19:48 <Ysjoelfir> K - on one of my old videos from 6 years ago some people complained about the way I used a cutter knife. savages. don't appreciate a good blood bath.
21:19:59 <K> do you remember all the connections by head?
21:20:25 <K> or are you going to use video as a guide to put it back?
21:21:39 <Ysjoelfir> I will redo it differently anyways, eg. remove that 2nd transformer on the underside, as we have a coil winding machine at work now, so I can make a purpose fit one. but I probably would be able to recall it, if I wanted to do that, yes. its not that hard, pretty basic circuit
21:21:58 <K> ah
21:22:45 <K> will you use proper brackets for mounting and not glue?
21:23:05 <K> you have a 3d printer eh?
21:24:54 <Ysjoelfir> The output transformers are mounted by some clamp mechanism, they don't have screw terminals. I added the clue to stop them from rattling. the tie strip otoh will be screwed down, as will be the capacitors and the volume pot, yes. Just make it a lot more tidy. maybe even spraypaint the inside a bit, not quite sure yet
21:26:10 <Ysjoelfir> I also wonder... I took, edited and uploaded the video in 1080p, but it looks pretty blurry to my eyes. is that me, or is that the same for you guys?
21:57:41 <K> it does not look 1080p to me, but, eh, i am on a 4k monitor running 1440p scaled on osx now
22:36:27 <Ampera> mooooooorning
22:36:47 <Ampera> in about an hour I get to go to the DMV, give up the plates to my car, and then immediately ask for new plates
22:49:11 <K> GIMME THEM PLATES! OR ELSE!
22:54:56 <Ysjoelfir> pretty much like that

23:29:34 * Ysjoelfir hides his face in shame
23:30:15 <electrohead> once I get the balls to start creating videos and uploading, I'll be hiding my face in shame, with you
23:36:32 <Ysjoelfir> lol
23:44:07 <electrohead> what camera do you use?
23:44:59 <Ysjoelfir> that one https://www.mi.com/de/product/redmi-note-11/
23:45:00 <EEVBot> [url] Redmi Note 11 - 90 Hz AMOLED Pionier | Xiaomi Deutschland | www.mi.com
23:45:22 <Ysjoelfir> so a "50 MP AI Quad Camera", supposedly
23:45:35 <Ysjoelfir> I would be happy with 8MP, but meh.... you have to work with what you goy
23:45:50 <electrohead> holy cameras
23:46:17 <electrohead> and ok, yeah so I'm just trying to think of a simple solution, since using a USB webcam is .. a bit in the way, back where I work on the things
23:46:24 <Ysjoelfir> the misses has even more megapixels in hers. https://www.mi.com/de/product/redmi-note-11-pro/

23:46:53 <Ysjoelfir> the placement of cameras was always a thing that annoyed me. but i like that talking hands kind of video anyways, so I opted for that
23:47:51 <electrohead> yeah I bought a clamp mount with a flexible hose like thing, that the one webcam mounts on. it's nice, but then I got adding more lighting, changed a few things up, and .. well, the USB camera setup isn't working out as planned
23:48:12 <Ysjoelfir> I got... a... holder thing for the phone
23:48:16 <Ysjoelfir> which is great
23:48:23 <Ysjoelfir> gimme a sex, I show it to you
23:48:33 * electrohead gives Ysjoelfir all thee sexs
23:48:41 <electrohead> sex's ?
23:48:42 <Ysjoelfir> aaaaaaaaaargh
23:48:43 <electrohead> lol
