01:06:16 <DHess_US> Accidently made a solution of flux cleaner using 50/50 ethanol (190 proof everclear) and acetone. For the record, ethanol and acetone work great, but it is a waste of good ethanol.
01:09:48 <Ampera1> I need to get a bottle of everclear
01:09:50 <Ampera1> for reasons

01:35:34 <electrohead> DHess_US: heh, did your money evaporate right before your eyes?
01:51:58 <DHess_US> electrohead, was just what I had handy. I bought some cheap 99% isopropyl but have not opened it yet.
01:52:38 <DHess_US> last year recovered someone's keyboard by cleaning it with distilled water, and to get the water out used the everclear because it was the only thing I had, and I still had everclear in my squeeze bottle.
01:53:28 <DHess_US> So last week I needed some flux cleaner, and mixed everclear from my squeeze bottle with acetone, just to try it. Eventually I will use the everclear in the squeeze bottle up, and replace it with 99% isopropyl

01:58:10 <electrohead> Is that legit 99%? I only ask because it's amazon, and never heard of that company
01:58:49 <electrohead> Normally I resort to MG chemicals
01:59:11 * electrohead hands Ampera a shot glass
01:59:52 <Kuschelpony> do aou knowif the 13N10 MOSFET is entirely discontinued or oly from ONSemi? (wonder why i non longer find it in so many shops)
02:04:08 <electrohead> I see the FQD13N10LTM and other variants on both digikey and mouser; is that too different from what you are looking for?
02:10:00 <electrohead> (mentioned that because I see a lot of stock)
02:12:06 <Kuschelpony> here in germany, and for individual people (not companies) the first shops would be more like Reichelt
02:12:53 <Kuschelpony> a few specific details of the 13N10 is the relatively low capacitance and the +-30V Ugs limit, that very few other MOSFET have
02:18:30 <K> farnell has >8k in stock
02:18:39 <K> but farnell is wonkey as of late

02:59:43 <DHess_US> electrohead, how would you test for water content?
03:00:06 <DHess_US> Density maybe, but not enough difference between 95% and 99% for that.
03:01:04 <DHess_US> Looks like it would have to do a titration.

03:53:06 <electrohead> Well it comes down to boiling point, could monitor temp and see what boils/evaps over, and plot everything and such perhaps
03:53:36 <electrohead> Nice find too, I'll watch it soon once I'm done running around
04:28:01 <DHess_US> Yea, could measure the boiling point.
04:28:33 <DHess_US> Seems like a TDS meter and a salt could measure the concentration, but it would destroy the sample.
04:28:52 <DHess_US> Anyway, can buy a hydrometer for like $60 if I cared that much.
04:53:35 <electrohead> Well, I added a proper hydrometer to my list, as I'd love to measure the recent MG chemicals alcohol I bought
05:00:02 * arch sticks a hydrometer in electrohead's nostrils
05:01:07 * electrohead adds one more, chases arch

05:22:03 <arch> so fedora 42's wallpaper has a tree engraved with "6x9=42". wat.

05:25:08 <rust_collector> maybe you just dont get it?
05:28:34 <flyback> "im putting on gloves cause this stuff is nasty"
05:28:38 <flyback> this guy is an idiot
05:28:43 <flyback> they use ipa in hospitals
05:29:05 <K> there is a lot of dunbasses on the interwebs
05:29:14 <K> heaps, even.
05:30:29 <electrohead> I noticed that myself, and promptly reached over and put some alcohol on my fingertips, because why not
05:34:58 <K> that'll show them all!
06:18:50 <electrohead> xD

08:57:59 <MrMobodies> Worried about something
08:58:06 <MrMobodies> my dad asked me if this was a scam
08:58:36 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/4IUqyjw.jpeg
08:59:09 <MrMobodies> it'd appear everytime he plays a game called "Word Tip"
08:59:21 <MrMobodies> oops Word Trip
08:59:59 <MrMobodies> and in his history there'd be a different Cloudfront subdomain, no path/url past that.
09:00:11 <MrMobodies> he didn't click past it though
09:00:21 <MrMobodies> my biggest concern is this
09:00:32 <MrMobodies> 3https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arumcomm.playservicesinfo&hl=en_GB
09:00:32 <EEVBot> [url] System Update for Android – Apps on Google Play | play.google.com
09:01:27 <MrMobodies> I was looking at everything installed, and I know from experience when looking at services, drivers, malware could be set to appear or disguised as some utility or in something of a familiar name
09:02:30 <MrMobodies> there were reviews in there complaining about being taken to the appstore and things being installed without their promot
09:02:41 <MrMobodies> I got rid of it
09:03:26 <MrMobodies> What risk do you think this presents? Do you think he should reset his phone back to factory default and change his passwords?

10:49:15 <MrMobodies> very disappointed with Google
10:50:15 <MrMobodies> They should never ALLOW a game or an app, to ASSUME control away from the user and install other things.
10:52:05 <MrMobodies> this is the sort of behaviour I use to experience in the 2010's with "free games" on things given to me to clear out and now it is full blown on the Google Playstore.
