01:59:26 <steve30> i think i'll go to the chinese tonight

02:25:05 <EEVBot> [url] Panel Upgrade :3 - Album on Imgur | imgur.com
02:26:05 <T3sl4> much cleaner
02:27:27 <arch> and lots more room to add more breakers. im gonna add an additional dedicated 20A receptacle per room
02:28:45 <arch> EMT wiring makes it much neater, so i basically ended up with two large jboxes where the old wiring terminates, and where the conduit wires also terminate into wire nut splices
02:29:24 <electrohead> arch: damn that looks good!
02:32:22 <arch> i helped the electricians out and they liked it. ima see if i can work with them part time. they know their stuff well
02:32:37 <arch> as a helper
02:34:06 <T3sl4> cool
02:34:17 <electrohead> there you go
02:35:20 <electrohead> I thought about doing that when the electrician(s) came out recently, but I can tell the dude had an ego problem from the start. he told me "I know it's done correctly", yet .. dude had to come back out twice to redo and add hardware to properly hang up the wire/conduit
02:35:23 <electrohead> :/
02:35:49 <electrohead> everyone else I called just wouldn't call me back, because apparently they weren't making a lot of money off of me
02:35:51 <electrohead> cunts.
02:37:26 <Ampera> nice arch
02:37:36 <Ampera> arch, I'm watching Id: Invaded right now
02:37:39 <Ampera> it's so good :D
02:44:57 <arch> Ampera, im glad you like it. my favorite character is Fukuda. his voice is soothing
02:45:07 <Ampera> I'm watching the dub
02:45:09 <Ampera> fucc u >:D
02:45:57 <arch> :| go watch the sub, you really aren't doing the anime justice watching dubbed. the jap voices for Narihisago and Fukuda are fantastic
02:46:39 <arch> electrohead, you mean you applied to be an apprentice/helper and they offered you ridiculous rates?
02:46:50 <Ampera> I always watch the dub first
02:46:57 <Ampera> if I really like something, sometimes I'll rewatch it sub
02:47:15 <Ampera> I prefer to consume my shows from more than the bottom of the screen
02:48:15 <arch> i have learned enough that i dont frequently need to look at the subs
02:48:37 <Ampera> you have terminal weebism

06:46:42 <electrohead> DHess_US: hey, I didn't look into that launch, much after it was 'good'; so, did it crash?
07:01:54 <MrMobodies> Hello
07:02:00 <rust_collector__> hola
07:03:11 <MrMobodies> Feeling very strange and I think it has something to do with the medication.
07:03:37 <MrMobodies> Very nervous when there isn't anything nervous to worry about
07:04:03 <rust_collector__> well, just remember that there is nothing to be worried about. maybe that helps
07:04:06 <MrMobodies> I had this same sensation last year during the Coaxiclav
07:04:16 <MrMobodies> and the steroids
07:04:27 <MrMobodies> It is in the form of a stomach ache too
07:04:40 <rust_collector__> I did not know you was into bodybuilding
07:04:42 <MrMobodies> it is like it has got control over my nerves
07:05:01 <MrMobodies> nono this is to do with a chest infection and I have asthma
07:05:24 <MrMobodies> they prescribe me medical steroids to health my chest due to the constant coughing and the irritation
07:05:35 <rust_collector__> that sounds even less fun than bodybuilding
07:05:35 <MrMobodies> *health and mean heal
07:06:32 <MrMobodies> cough up flem for like 3 weeks whilst begging to talk to my practice isnt fun at all
07:07:06 <MrMobodies> Joke: I think the practice had all the satisfaction turning me away.
07:07:22 <MrMobodies> and gaslighting me with COVID nonsense
07:07:40 <MrMobodies> but the 111 advice line put me through to a real doctor
07:07:57 <MrMobodies> who noticed my practice didn't prescribe enough anti biotics at Christmas
07:41:02 * electrohead hugs MrMobodies
08:07:07 <steve30> I uploaded some more Palestine photos for those who are interested: https://www.flickr.com/photos/36651585@N04/

08:07:28 <rust_collector__> sand, rocks and towels?
08:09:16 <steve30> For a change, I photoshopped them, rather than GIMPing them
08:09:55 <rust_collector__> aw. i use mtpaint, most of the time
08:14:18 <steve30> ooh, i should give that a go sometime
08:15:35 <rust_collector__> I did "photoshop" some christmas string light things into a picture with that, and if you just scroll in far enough, before drawing stuff, it looks... ok
08:21:53 <DHess_US> electrohead, Starship burned up on reentry, but they got a lot of data. The booster lit its engines late and hit the ocean hard.
08:46:32 <steve30> oops, i just realised i left a terminal window pinging the BBC all afternoon
08:47:14 <rust_collector__> that is ok, I can ping them all day tomorrow
09:12:17 <coppice> DHess_US: There is some wonderful video from the cameras on starship
09:12:31 <DHess_US> yes
10:11:41 <electrohead> DHess_US: Yeah I just read/saw that, as of now. That sucks :/
10:12:10 <DHess_US> The video from reentry of Starship is amazing.
10:12:28 <DHess_US> That is what I linked, https://twitter.com/spacesudoer/status/1768644394960265274

11:05:08 <Nothing\> oh man
11:05:18 <Nothing\> i saw a deepfake video today with Trudeau in it
11:05:38 <Nothing\> well, it was more of an ad on a website with subtitles. But it was close enough.
11:06:32 <Nothing\> still i think making a deepfake of the one person who can actually enact laws to give victims of deepfakes more power to do something about it is a real stupid idea
11:06:59 <Nothing\> history has shown that as soon as a problem starts affecting politicians, they'll do something about it
11:07:13 <Nothing\> especially trudeau
11:08:16 <Nothing\> i mean he enacted a national emergency response plan just because some truckers were beeping their horns too close to parliament. It was an ottawa problem, not national. And he used the powers that act gave him to seize all of the money from the protesters
11:09:50 <steve30> I just realised, this picture from 2 years ago has accumulated over 1100 view

11:16:24 <Nothing\> civilization beyond earth is on sale for 75% off
11:17:15 <Nothing\> heh they've had similar sales for civ IV, Civ Revolution, and Civ VI. Still waiting for V to go on sale. And maybe check out Alpha Centauri because that was an amazing Civ Game.
11:18:05 <Nothing\> my mum was nice enough to lend me the money till i get paid because of course the sale ends before then and I'm not paying $50 just because I got paid 2 days later
11:18:21 <Ampera> hey Nothing\
11:18:50 <Nothing\> heya ampy-poo
11:18:54 <Nothing\> <3
11:19:06 <Nothing\> how ya doin' bud?
11:19:13 <Nothing\> what's the female equivalent of bud?
11:19:14 <Ampera> tired
11:19:16 <Nothing\> girlfriend?
11:19:24 <Nothing\> like, how you doin girlfrand?
11:19:27 <Ampera> I wasn't aware bud was an inherently masculine expression
11:19:42 <Nothing\> i feel like it is, that's why i always feel bad when i call you bud or buddy
11:19:52 <Nothing\> i guess because most of the people i considered buddies were male
11:19:53 <Ampera> but if one must be directed towards me, bitch would be acceptable as substitute.
11:20:10 <Nothing\> lol i couldn't call you that even if i tried
11:20:34 <Nothing\> at least not without feeling awful and apologizing profusely. Even if out of social obligation if nothing else lol.
11:20:50 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
11:21:05 <Nothing\> Ampera, what sort of design should i etch into glass?
11:21:07 <Ampera> I think I've always found it weird how people dance around the notions of inter-gender friendships
11:21:13 <Ampera> Nothing\, dickbutt
11:21:20 <Nothing\> DUUUUDE
11:21:28 <Nothing\> BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT!

11:22:07 <Nothing\> i wish i had a 3d printer, i could make some sort of a stencil i could put down and pour my wax around to make the pattern to etch
11:22:07 <EEVBot> [url] A Cat in the Basket | © Leanne Boulton, All Rights Reserved … | Flickr | www.flickr.com
11:22:32 <Nothing\> instead of just putting down a layer of wax, solidifying it, and carving the mask out of it
11:22:48 <Ampera> dickbutt isn't exactly a complicated drawing
11:22:55 <Ampera> it's dick+butt
11:23:10 <Nothing\> Ampera, yeah but wax tends to crumble when you try to carve it solid
11:23:20 <rust_collector> can you design such a thing? or, cad things
11:23:21 <Nothing\> i got a wax carving kit and it was friggin impossible
11:23:24 <Nothing\> wax, or soap
11:23:36 <Nothing\> rust_collector, hells no
11:23:37 <Nothing\> lol
11:23:43 <rust_collector> ok, that helps

11:23:56 <Nothing\> the only image manipulation tool i've ever used to any practical effect was paint
11:24:24 <Nothing\> i used to have an intermittent comic series that was moderately popular in the last community i was in
11:24:36 <Nothing\> interesting since i'm not terribly artistic. Especially visually.
11:24:48 <Nothing\> i always sucked at imagination or creativity
11:25:16 <Nothing\> actually i've been doing a neat little mental experiment recently
11:25:37 <Nothing\> you know how you can have an inner monologue with words that almost sound like you're hearing them with your own ears, but not
11:25:53 <Nothing\> like you're hearing it without using your ears
11:26:08 <Nothing\> so i got wondering if you could do the same thing with other sensory imput
11:26:31 <Nothing\> you can obviously visualize most simple scenes and images
11:27:23 <Nothing\> but can you recreate the smell of smoke just as vividly? Or the sensation of being stabbed (if you know what that's like). Or even being tickled.
11:27:28 <Nothing\> oh fuckt aseithnasoeitnaohesihaoesidaoeishaoeushai
11:27:40 <Nothing\> i just remembered an instrusive thought that used to plague me to no end
11:27:53 <Nothing\> i would always used to imagine that my teeth are itchy
11:28:01 <Nothing\> and then they would actually feel itchy
11:28:18 <Nothing\> it's a horrible feeling. why did i have to remember it.
11:29:09 Join: Halcyon ([email protected]) to #eevblog
11:33:50 <steve30> hi Halcyon
11:35:11 <Halcyon> Hey Steve. How's you?
11:35:34 <steve30> i'm just watching a documentary about male escorts
11:35:45 <Halcyon> Hahah random
11:36:09 <steve30> only two minutes in, but it looks like they are straight guys :/
11:36:26 <Halcyon> I mean, how straight can you be if you're sleeping with guys?
11:36:32 <Halcyon> Sexuality is a scale
11:36:58 <steve30> i mean escorts who have women as customers
11:37:01 <rust_collector> work is work
11:37:34 <Halcyon> True, and some people will do desperate things for money, but very few people in the world are absolutely 100% gay or 100% straight
11:37:44 <Halcyon> Most people fall somewhere in between.
11:38:25 * Ampera hugs Halcyon
11:38:52 <Ampera> spaghetti is straight until you get it wet
11:39:11 <Ampera> and then you can be like me
11:39:19 <Ampera> where the words "straight" and "gay" start to be confusing
11:39:32 <Ampera> is it gay for me to like men, or is it straight for me to like women
11:39:35 <steve30> Is this the indication that Halcyon isn;t 100% gay and might actually want to play with Ampera?
11:39:43 <Ampera> steve30, god we can always hope
11:39:44 <Ampera> not
11:39:49 * Halcyon waggles in front of Ampera
11:40:01 <Halcyon> steve30 I would say I'm 90-95% gay
11:40:04 <Ampera> Halcyon's brain would short circuit if he saw me naked
11:40:08 <Halcyon> In that sometimes I watch straight porn (for the guys)
11:40:18 <Ampera> I'd say I'm 60/40 straight/gay
11:41:02 <steve30> hehe, Halcyon doesn't strike me as the kind of person who would watch straight porn
11:41:12 <Halcyon> Why not? Straight guys are hot.
11:41:17 <Halcyon> Forbidden fruit
11:41:18 <Halcyon> :P
11:41:21 <Halcyon> Like T3sl4
11:41:23 <steve30> :p
11:41:35 <Ampera> Halcyon, gay guys can be cute too >:D
11:41:41 <Halcyon> Aww thanks Ampera :P

11:46:02 <Ampera> electrohead is a perfect example of nobody is 100% gay or straight
11:46:11 <electrohead> wait wut
11:46:15 <steve30> I'm getting the impression that a lot of documentary tv programmes now utilise autofocus
11:46:21 <Halcyon> We were talking about how sexuality is a spectrum earlier
11:46:26 <Ampera> I mean, just look at the people he hangs around with
11:46:32 <Halcyon> Whilst you'd play gay chicken, you'd always lose electrohead

12:08:17 <Nothing\> i feel like drinking 20oz of coffee at 9pm isn't a good idea
12:08:31 <Nothing\> but damn am i exhausted
12:08:58 <rust_collector> you feel wrong. also remember that you are drinking contaminated sugar-milk
12:09:24 <Nothing\> sugar milk lol
12:09:42 <Nothing\> why is that the second time i've heard that referred to in 24 hours in 2 completely different contexts
12:09:51 <Nothing\> the other was an old guy joke at joe biden's expensive
12:10:05 <rust_collector> because of the energy you transmit
12:10:23 * T3sl4 noogies Nothing\
12:10:40 <Nothing\> i've heard of milktoast, steak toast, milksteak, but never sugar milk until now
12:10:53 * Nothing\ goonies T3sl4 <#
12:10:57 <Nothing\> how ya doing bud?
12:11:25 <rust_collector> maybe you have not heard of it, but you do seem to drink it a lot?
12:11:47 <Nothing\> sugar milk? nope. Never heard of it.
12:11:56 <Nothing\> i eat a lot of fudgsicles lately though
12:12:01 <rust_collector> it is milk....with sugar in it
12:12:08 <Nothing\> ah yes that
12:12:15 <Nothing\> well then yes, i do
12:12:18 <Nothing\> ohhhhh wait
12:12:22 <Nothing\> i get that joke about biden now
12:12:25 <electrohead> laters
12:12:28 <Nothing\> it's because he was eating ice cream
12:12:33 <rust_collector> ooh
12:12:54 <Nothing\> he made a public appearance eating ice cream with a talk show host after an appearance on the show
12:13:10 <Nothing\> so his detractors tried to say only the elderly and babies like ice cream
12:13:25 <Nothing\> despite the fact that the talk show host was like 40
12:13:29 <Nothing\> 40ish
12:13:52 <Nothing\> but after that, the host kept mentioning sugar milk and it never hit me until now that's what he meant lol
12:13:55 <T3sl4> fudge packer
12:13:56 <T3sl4> ...cicle
12:14:09 <Nothing\> T3sl4, dude i'm so freaking addicted to them
12:14:17 <Nothing\> i ate 13 yesterday
12:14:23 <T3sl4> sugar and fat do be good like that
12:14:36 <Nothing\> actually there's some good stuff in them
12:14:41 <Nothing\> somehow there's a gram of fiber
12:15:01 <Nothing\> and the sugar's "only" 10g per
12:15:23 <rust_collector> they come on little wooden sticks, no?
12:15:37 <Nothing\> nope, a knife
12:16:11 <rust_collector> ok, maybe it is a knife made out of fiber
12:16:26 <Nothing\> lol that's a good point
12:20:47 <rust_collector> ok, I will have a slice of compressed cow juice.
12:22:49 <Nothing\> ack wtf aseointeihaoseidaoeia
12:23:06 <Nothing\> who the hell thought it was a good idea to make an ecig that lets you set the power to 200 freaking watts
12:23:16 <Nothing\> nothing like smoking nichrome
12:24:56 <Nothing\> so i was thinking, i have no glasses for the eclipse
12:25:34 <Nothing\> BUT the plastic from pill bottles attenuates a great deal of ultraviolet. Though I'm not sure what range, I would imagine UVB and UVA.
12:26:09 <Nothing\> and while the UV alone isn't the only risk, it can at least mitigate the risks associated with taking quick glances at it. Which is basically my plan.
12:27:12 <rust_collector> go to princess auto and get some pretty light welding shield glass thingies?
12:35:54 <rust_collector> or these, they would look great on you. https://www.princessauto.com/en/rectangular-shade-5-oxy-acetylene-welding-goggles/product/PA0008819971
12:44:09 <flyback> taking quick glances at what?
12:44:22 <flyback> are you trying to weld without a helmet?
12:44:36 <flyback> everyone close your eyes, you know I gotta say it
12:44:50 <flyback> STUPID CANUCK- STUPID CANUCK- STUPID CANUCK- STUPID CANUCK- STUPID CANUCK- STUPID CANUCK- STUPID CANUCK- STUPID CANUCK- STUPID CANUCK- STUPID CANUCK-
12:44:52 <rust_collector> no glasses for the eclipse
12:44:57 <flyback> STILL STUPID
12:45:08 <flyback> nothing use a camera or a pinhole thing etc
12:45:13 <flyback> don't be an idiot
12:45:38 <flyback> a saying of mine is, although not 100% factually true, it is practically true: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "SCAR TISSUE" WITH EYES
12:46:00 <flyback> most senses will work reduced with some damage
12:46:03 <Ampera> there's a whole lot of canucking going on in this room
12:46:05 <flyback> eyes get really fcked
12:46:08 <rust_collector> hmm, what does eyes do, when they grow?
12:46:25 <rust_collector> heal, whatever
12:46:31 <flyback> dunno
12:47:15 <rust_collector> oh well, they do, and that is nice
12:47:23 <flyback> not worth risking perm damage to see an eclipse
12:47:49 <rust_collector> not worth being awake for either, imo.
12:49:53 <flyback> seriously just don't
12:50:21 <Nothing\> flyback, yeah that's my fallback idea but looking at a projection isn't quite the same as looking at it through glasses
12:50:30 <Nothing\> but i'm afraid that's what i'll have to do
12:50:37 <Nothing\> it's a shame, I'm smack dab in the sweet spot
12:50:50 <flyback> doesn't matter dude this is not a fallback position
12:50:50 <Nothing\> just on the edge, but i'll get to see totality
12:50:54 <flyback> you risk perm eye fuckery
12:51:01 <flyback> such as seeing a red spot in your view all the time
12:51:04 <Nothing\> yeah, i know
12:51:05 <flyback> not being able to drive anymore
12:51:06 <flyback> etc
12:51:11 <Halcyon> Better off watching it via a video monitor
12:51:11 <flyback> not being able to do EE anymore
12:51:11 <Nothing\> flyback, actually it's a dark spot
12:51:23 <Nothing\> i have a tiny spot from presumably a laser or something i dunno
12:51:31 <Nothing\> might not even be from a light
12:52:11 <Nothing\> just looks like a permanent, dark floater. But doesn't move, and it's darker than usual. I never got answers and my brain learned to filter it out so it's fine.
12:52:19 <Nothing\> it's not huge either. thankfully.
12:52:34 <Nothing\> but it makes me realize the implications of eye damage
12:52:37 <flyback> perm floaters can be a sign of a detachment, a serious condition my dad had
12:52:41 <flyback> yes
12:52:45 <flyback> so don't risk it
12:52:46 <Nothing\> flyback, not for 20 years
12:53:06 <Nothing\> plus you see other signs, like blue flashes
12:53:13 <Nothing\> though not necessarily, i'll admit
12:53:14 <flyback> rig up some old phones, webcams, etc
12:53:21 <flyback> and combine it all in software or something
12:53:24 <flyback> don't risk your eyes
12:53:40 <Nothing\> flyback, they're not great for filming the sun since they're already sensitive to IR
12:53:55 <Nothing\> and you can burn out the CCD
12:54:03 <flyback> better to burn a ccd than your eyes
12:54:10 <Nothing\> with the lens, it's like focusing a magnifying glass onto the sensor
12:54:17 <Nothing\> which actually, going back to the eye damage thing
12:54:25 <Nothing\> that's what i tell people the eye damage is like, too
12:54:37 <Nothing\> because it literally is like focusing a magnifying glass on your retina
12:54:58 <flyback> like I said, most senses can be usuable with a lot of physical damage
12:54:59 <Nothing\> not just simple UV keratitis
12:55:02 <flyback> eyes are not one of them
12:55:13 <Nothing\> flyback, oh they are
12:55:22 <Nothing\> there are lots of "blind people" who can see
12:55:31 <Nothing\> just not very well
12:56:16 <Nothing\> one interesting case was a guy who had severe nystagmus (back and forth movement of the eyes) to the point that it made him legally blind.
12:57:11 <Nothing\> he could see perfectly fine, but because of how severe the eye movements were his brain couldn't make sense of any of it before his eyes moved again (presumably)
12:57:29 <Halcyon> What about a CMOS sensor
12:57:30 <Halcyon> ?
12:57:45 <Nothing\> Halcyon, heh not rightly sure
12:57:47 <Halcyon> Like in something like this: https://oneleaf.ai/find-nv200-50mm-lrf-4k-day-night-vision-binoculars.html
12:57:49 <EEVBot> [url] Find NV200 50mm 4K Day/Night Vision Binoculars with Laser Rangefinder | oneleaf.ai
12:57:55 <Halcyon> Those have a HDMI output
12:57:55 <Nothing\> i just use the term sensor in a loose sense
12:58:13 <Nothing\> i really don't know what the IR sensitivity is for each. Just that you can see IR with most regular digital cameras.
12:58:32 <Nothing\> if you take an IR remote control into a dark room with a cell phone camera you can see it no problem
12:58:45 <Halcyon> Oh yes, most cameras will pick up IR like that
12:59:12 <Halcyon> But I meant more from the perspective of you can use digital binoculars to view the sun via a monitor
12:59:22 <Halcyon> (Not necessarily in night/IR mode)
12:59:57 <DHess_US> Just reorganized my prototyping transistor cabinet. More than half were no longer produced. I am down to 12 transistor types.
13:00:20 <DHess_US> Discarded 10 types
13:00:42 <Halcyon> Actually not sure if those have a video out, maybe it's just recording to a memory card
13:00:43 <Halcyon> But yeah

13:04:28 <Halcyon> I like uniform labels
13:04:55 <DHess_US> Had a lot of problems with getting the labels to stick.
13:05:23 <DHess_US> Scotch clear glue is useless. Avery self adhesive dry up and fall off
13:05:33 <Halcyon> They aren't self-adhesive
13:05:34 <DHess_US> spray adhesive is ok, but messy
13:05:34 <Halcyon> ?
13:05:37 <DHess_US> no
13:05:37 <Halcyon> Ahh
13:05:44 <DHess_US> Self adhesive dry out and fall off
13:05:52 <DHess_US> This time I used double sided tape.
13:05:59 <Halcyon> I find the Avery industrial ones are great, but they are expensive
13:06:19 <DHess_US> Maybe, plus it is easier to print on standard paper. No need to waste labels
13:06:24 <Halcyon> Indeed
13:06:47 <Halcyon> Unless you're doing big volumes a proper thermal label printer with label rolls might work better
13:07:13 <DHess_US> Sure, if you do bulk labels.
13:07:39 <DHess_US> Some of the avery labels are good, but you can't tell the bad from the good ones.
13:07:48 <DHess_US> So they are all bad.
13:09:12 <Halcyon> For Avery, I tend to stick with either the metallic labels of their "heavy duty" labels (in the green packaging)

13:09:41 <EEVBot> [url] Avery 4UP Heavy Duty Laser Labels White 25 Sheets | Officeworks | www.officeworks.com.au
13:09:42 <Halcyon> This kind of thing
13:10:01 <Halcyon> But as I said, expensive.
13:10:26 <DHess_US> 28 pound paper and double sided tape are cheap
13:10:33 <Halcyon> Yep
13:11:18 <DHess_US> Oh, have another parts box with more transistors. If any of those are still in production, will add to drawers.
13:13:06 <DHess_US> Found them but I don't remember why I bough them.
13:14:07 <DHess_US> 2N5194, MJE3055, 2N5191, MJE2955
13:14:52 <Halcyon> I'm worried about getting into electronics because it means finding storage for all those kinds of parts. Currently I have several shelves of archive boxes, labeled with various computer parts, drives etc...
13:14:58 <Halcyon> It literally takes up an entire room
13:30:17 <Ampera> I hope you have a good weekend, Halcyon
13:30:19 <Ampera> <3
13:30:33 <Halcyon> Aww thanks Ampera. I hope you do too
13:30:46 <Ampera> <3
13:31:02 <Halcyon> I feel like garlic and cheese so I'm making this later: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/270770/garlic-noodles/

14:30:55 <flyback> neat all the low power wireless shit you can get
14:31:15 <flyback> plus has a nice cpu embedded for management, protocol conversion etc
15:10:40 <MrMobodies> I am looking for one of these
15:10:51 <MrMobodies> https://www.amazon.co.uk/Keyboard-Wireless-Multifunctional-Sensing-3-Gsensor/dp/B097GHC8Z7

15:11:02 <MrMobodies> difficulty finding one with a keyboard on the back
15:11:15 <MrMobodies> so when I pick that up I'll touch the keys on the back
15:11:18 <MrMobodies> isn't that stupid?
15:11:56 <MrMobodies> I like the remote but the keyboard is the offputting and no cover for it
15:13:55 <MrMobodies> Looking on Amazon and they all seem to have that stupid keyboard on the back
15:15:28 <MrMobodies> https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+gA7KcqGL._AC_SL1500_.jpg
15:15:41 <MrMobodies> that would have been perfect all I wanted is an RF one with the volume
15:16:08 <MrMobodies> except his hand is there gripping the remote
15:16:23 <MrMobodies> no gripping it by the keys underneath
15:36:46 <flyback> watch wireless keyboards
15:36:51 <flyback> a lot are security failures
15:37:01 <flyback> be sure to choose one from a brand someone audited
15:37:03 <MrMobodies> oh dear I think I know
15:37:17 <MrMobodies> they'd have other things built into it
15:37:52 <MrMobodies> I saw a video once of a fake pendrive doing it
15:37:58 <MrMobodies> opened up powershell
15:38:02 <MrMobodies> and basically took over
15:38:11 <MrMobodies> thanks for reminding me
15:38:31 <MrMobodies> that'd be a massive opportunity for the crooks and scammers
15:39:08 <MrMobodies> I found this thing

15:39:11 <MrMobodies> very old
15:39:17 <MrMobodies> I think 2003 to 2005
15:40:21 <MrMobodies> I'll test it when I get it incase there is something inside I am not expecting

19:59:14 <MrMobodies> 1: Put hard drive in caddy... okay

20:03:13 <MrMobodies> When the infrastructure to register it disappears then there won't be any use at all.
