00:00:08 <flyback> could be worse
00:00:13 <flyback> could be canadian
00:11:34 <arch> could be an albanian
01:01:48 <Ampera> hey!
01:01:56 <Ampera> albany is not that bad
01:01:56 <rust_collector> HOI!
01:01:58 <Ampera> it's
01:02:00 <Ampera> worse
01:02:05 <rust_collector> albanistan
01:02:15 <Ampera> EYYYYY RUSTY, I'M WALKIN' 'ERE
01:02:22 <rust_collector> whoa!
01:03:01 <rust_collector> how unamerican
01:09:12 <arch> hmm, might have to replace the starter motor as well on ye' olde' crv
01:09:31 <arch> will first test with the strong 850A CCA battery on the volvo to rule out a weak battery
01:09:54 <arch> jfc my dad just tortured this poor old car
01:10:33 <arch> today i change out the fuel pressure sensor on the volvo. cheap easy fix to get rid of check engine light
01:10:44 <rust_collector> do a voltage drop test? see if the starter even sees full battery voltage?

01:25:16 <arch> right. im gonna do that when i test with the volvo battery, because the cca on the crv batt is something like 425A tested with my tester, and it's on a 550A cca batt
01:25:49 <arch> the volvo battery is basically brand new though, so i know for a fact it's not gonna be the battery if it still struggles starting over with it
01:26:29 <arch> the volvo starts up in less than 2s, meanwhile the crv really struggles cranking, takes like 4 or 5 seconds

01:31:17 <electrohead> K: no u
01:43:07 <electrohead> linux users: having an issue where trying to set underscan via xrandr isn't working, using the nouveau driver and with the GeForce RTX 2080 Super - would anyone know of any information pertaining to an issue like that?
01:49:17 <electrohead> --transform works, hrmm
01:49:23 <electrohead> getting closer lol
01:50:13 <rust_collector> arrrgh, stop messing up your confuser
01:50:44 <electrohead> I'm trying to fix it lol
01:50:55 <rust_collector> yeh
01:51:21 <rust_collector> engineer eh? have to create an issue you can fix?
01:52:25 <electrohead> the actual issue: so my 54 inch screen is more of a TV, not a 'monitor' - and default settings for everything, the image is cut off, in the past with older nvidia cards I was able to set underscan no problem.
01:52:50 <electrohead> now, it's a new computer and newer graphics card, and the underscan settings are different
01:52:52 <electrohead> meh
01:53:56 <rust_collector> hmm, wife used to have something like that. In that case, there was some special mode the tv had to be set to, and it "just worked" as a monitor. dunno
01:55:24 <rust_collector> iIrc, the picture was just pushed about 1/3 off the screen, to the right
01:57:17 <electrohead> yeah this tv has two or three modes, but none of them fix the issue
02:02:58 <K> i suggest pushing the tv off from the cliff.
02:09:07 <electrohead> it still works though :/
02:09:27 <electrohead> dude I bought this back in 2013, still working a treat lol
02:09:39 <coppice> Tie a politician to it, and make it a public service

02:34:01 <rust_collector> that made me think of something... Did old crt screens float? I guess they would, but I have to admit i never tried
02:36:11 <Kuschelpony> rustcollector, no
02:36:30 <rust_collector> oh ok
02:36:32 <Kuschelpony> the weight of the glass was much much more

02:36:52 <electrohead> I'm attempting fuck with this
02:37:00 <Kuschelpony> like 10 kilos of glass versus 5 Liter volume
02:37:40 <Kuschelpony> or if we talk about the second last luxurious flat CRT tvs, they were upto 80 kilos
02:38:39 <rust_collector> I do remember a 66" sony tv, it was heavy heavy. but at least it had wheels
02:39:18 <Kuschelpony> the biggest that i know in person were Grundig in 95cm, but they were only the second-heaviest
02:40:04 <Kuschelpony> the very heaviest were the 80cm with "flat" tubes, that had a total flat front side, made by making the edges of the screen something 10cm thick glass
02:46:00 <coppice> Kuschelpony: Mitsubishi made 95cm tube. I think they were the only one
02:46:33 <Kuschelpony> coppice, i might have the service manuals but that will be serious digging to get tothem
02:46:48 <Kuschelpony> but Mitsubushi might be right
02:47:56 <coppice> There were some nice big DLP back projection TVs just before the size of LCDs started to explode
02:48:11 <coppice> ever seen a 105" plasma TV?
02:50:00 <Kuschelpony> no, only upto 120cm
02:50:07 <Kuschelpony> and i hated their fine flicker
02:50:38 <Kuschelpony> at least repair was not too complicated, most times the MOSFET for the "Z" sustain drivers
02:51:22 <coppice> If you live in HK you get to see all sorts of fully production engineered products that never go into mass production. I think the 105" Samsung plasma TVs might have been one. Available in small numbers at a stupid high price

05:47:55 <arch> mwhahaha
05:48:07 <arch> i think he's my favorite random npc char so far
