18:48:57 <Lemon> yeah
18:48:57 <Lemon> a killawatt thingie will do, bonus if I can connect it to a pc for some more complex monitoring
18:48:57 <electrohead> this exists: https://github.com/boblemaire/IoTaWatt

18:48:57 <Lemon> oof yes, the price tho
18:48:57 <Lemon> thats professional type of gear
18:48:57 <Lemon> I wanted one for maybe, 40/50 euros max ? D:
18:48:57 <electrohead> could always go the true DIY route, arduino/esp8266/esp32/etc
18:48:57 <steve30> i got a kill-a-watt type thing but it broke
18:48:57 <Lemon> yeah true I could build one
18:48:57 <Lemon> id rather not, too many projects not done
18:48:57 <Lemon> I need to finish the deck first
18:48:57 <MrMobodies> The Violin man had a cold last week which affect his nose and sinu
18:48:57 <MrMobodies> this week he is coughing
18:48:57 <MrMobodies> now I am feeling the same way with the sinus
18:48:57 <MrMobodies> with a headache
18:48:57 <MrMobodies> maybe I should go down the road and get some Carte Dor chocolate ice cream. That seems to help relieve the pressure in my head a bit.
18:48:57 <electrohead> the violin man?
18:48:57 <MrMobodies> yes, he fixes violins and owns a shop across the road next door to the pub
18:48:57 <MrMobodies> Watkins Violins
18:48:57 <electrohead> ahh
18:48:57 <MrMobodies> when he spends hours filing out his bridges, playing the same tune over and over like a horror film with a girl hanging from a rope by a tree over a river
18:48:57 <MrMobodies> the cat falls asleep
18:48:57 <MrMobodies> when he gets it right the cat wakes up as he moves around the room
18:48:57 <MrMobodies> he setup this microphone array recently to find out where all the dead nodes are in the room.

21:54:19 <Halcyon> Even still
21:54:19 <electrohead> Someone bought this? lol
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> I wonder if they are desperate to get rid of them
21:54:19 <Halcyon> https://www.ebay.com/itm/386656558735
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> They talk about everything else including the history of Panasonic
21:54:19 <EEVBot> [url] 3072-Pack Gillette Fusion Ocean Breeze Shave Gel ProGlide Sensitive 2in1 6oz | eBay | www.ebay.com
21:54:19 <Halcyon> Anyone need shaving gel?
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> but they leave out the expiry date
21:54:19 <arch> lol
21:54:19 <electrohead> what is this seller trying to tell us
21:54:19 <electrohead> they must know something
21:54:19 <arch> could just be a wholesaler
21:54:19 <electrohead> nah man, this is deep
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> about $8 a can
21:54:19 <electrohead> the amount of batteries *and* shave gel?
21:54:19 <electrohead> somethings going down.
21:54:19 <arch> maybe he has arithmomania
21:54:19 <electrohead> I need to stop counting whenever I have a wank
21:54:19 <arch> it's OVER 9 THOUSANDDDD
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> Not much negative feedback

21:54:19 <MrMobodies> And they had been trading since 2004
21:54:19 <electrohead> it's actually way under that, even under 900
21:54:19 <electrohead> well, the average, rather
21:54:19 <arch> 900 fps (faps per second)
21:54:19 <electrohead> once upon a night, I drank whisey, and totally hit over 9 thousand
21:54:19 <electrohead> whiskey*
21:54:19 <electrohead> lol
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> one complaint that it was made in Japan
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> the Gilette Fusion
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> but coming from Japan it must be good?

21:54:19 <electrohead> ok, this is just awesome.
21:54:19 <electrohead> yo T3sl4
21:54:19 <T3sl4> was gonna watch that in a bit
21:54:19 <electrohead> I'm only 1/3 into it, and already want to take apart microwaves and blow shit up. careful <3
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> I think Photoinduction would like that
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> but he'd overvoltage it before he could start that's a joke
21:54:19 <T3sl4> :)
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> Here's another one
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> I see the North may not neccessarily get a Crewe Cut.

21:54:19 <Halcyon> T3sl4, what are your thoughts on my GPU post? I'm trying to find a suitable plug for the fan socket.
21:54:19 <Halcyon> I looked up JST XH series on Mouser and couldn't find anything that looked like it matched.
21:54:19 <T3sl4> shrug
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> fan socket?
21:54:19 <Halcyon> You suck
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> I'll see where yout threa is
21:54:19 <Halcyon> MrMobodies: Yessum. Photo here: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/finding-a-suitable-fan-for-a-gpu-heatsink/
21:54:19 <EEVBot> [url] Finding a suitable fan for a GPU heatsink - Page 1 | www.eevblog.com
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> that looks like the heatsinks they used on the Voodoo 3 2000
21:54:19 <Halcyon> I found a fan but I just need a connector. I'm not adverse to replacing the socket on the card as well, if it's easier to find a matching pair.
21:54:19 <Halcyon> This is a Voodoo Banshee, so probably the same
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> I might have a few of those
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> I know
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> you know batch of SATA to IDE converters I brought were they'd smoke and catch fire
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> they used those
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> just looking
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> I think I found something
21:54:19 <Halcyon> I'd say it looks identical to this, except without the branding: https://www.digikey.com.au/en/products/detail/jst-sales-america-inc./B2B-XH-A/1651045
21:54:19 <EEVBot> [url] Access to this page has been denied | www.digikey.com.au
21:54:19 <Halcyon> But I need the actual plug bit, not the socket/header
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/Tka0WJB.jpeg
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> Any good to you?
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> You could just plug a molex fan in there
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> if it is the right fitting
21:54:19 <electrohead> Digikey expects me to disable my ad-blocker lol
21:54:19 <Halcyon> Hmmm actually, I might have one of those leads... standby, I'll go have a look in my Molex box
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> they were for these
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/BZrHv6e.png
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> Digikey should not victimize it's web users during their shopping experience.
21:54:19 <Halcyon> Mmm I don't. You know what though? Maybe I'm over-complicating this. I could just remove the connector entirely and solder the fan leads directly onto the board
21:54:19 <electrohead> Halcyon: you have a soldering iron, yeah?
21:54:19 <electrohead> lmao
21:54:19 <Halcyon> electrohead: Yep, it's shit, but it'll do the job
21:54:19 <electrohead> love how we sent that at the same time, so cutes
21:54:19 <Halcyon> :-)
21:54:19 <Halcyon> I literally just thought of it. I'm like, why the fuck do I need a connector anyway?
21:54:19 <electrohead> but, I was thinking: if you have a connector of a different fan/device/etc that fits, could always just cut and solder wires together, tada done
21:54:19 <Halcyon> Yeah I don't think I do
21:54:19 <electrohead> shit
21:54:19 <MrMobodies> be much more tidier too
21:54:19 <Halcyon> I need to get my some flux and flux cleaner
21:54:19 <Halcyon> What is "Solderability Testing Flux" ?
21:54:19 <T3sl4> you're sure it's 3mm, not 2.5?
21:54:19 <T3sl4> pitch
21:54:19 <Halcyon> Nope. Could be either.
21:54:19 <Halcyon> Bit hard to measure
21:54:19 <electrohead> per spec sheets, you should be able to see where measurements are taken from
21:54:19 <electrohead> as in, either center of the pins, or the insides or outsides
21:54:19 <T3sl4> pitch always on centers
21:54:19 <T3sl4> 0.025" square posts also very common (0.635mm)
21:54:19 <electrohead> I've already seen mutiple measurements in datasheets, hence why I said that; yeah normally they are on center, but .. eh, trust issues lol
21:54:19 <T3sl4> you'll have to look very closely to tell against a ruler
21:54:19 <electrohead> Halcyon: you got me in a slight rabbit hole; https://prototypepcbassembly.com/solderability-test-understanding-pcb-solderability-testing/

21:54:20 <T3sl4> you'll probably find it here anyways https://connectorbook.com/identification91.html?m=NN
21:54:20 <EEVBot> [url] Connector identification online - The electronic connector book | connectorbook.com
21:54:20 <Halcyon> I'll just get a flux pen. Seems easier
21:54:20 <electrohead> yeah that's all you need lol
21:54:20 <electrohead> so, essentially that is a flux made for testing purposes, to be within specs
21:54:20 <Halcyon> Fair enough
21:54:20 <electrohead> --> IPC J-STD-002: Solderability Tests for Component Leads, Terminations, Lugs, Terminals, and Wires
21:54:20 <electrohead> rabbit hole has landed me here lol - https://landandmaritimeapps.dla.mil/Programs/MilSpec/listdocs.aspx?BasicDoc=MIL-STD-883
21:54:20 <electrohead> I love how there's an email address just for that standard, I now wonder if there's an email for each standard, and how many standards are there in total, that have a designated email address
