01:18:37 * steve30 watches a BBC 4 programme about AI
01:18:55 <steve30> They've set the AI thing to watch stuff from the BBC archive.
01:19:06 <steve30> I'm just wondeirng if I shold be using AI to watch the programme?
01:21:33 <steve30> Do AI need a TV license?

03:32:08 <K> can get those locally, surprisingly enough
03:37:24 <arch> damn dude, $20/pop
03:37:58 <arch> guess it's ok for small volume, specialized stuff
03:38:32 <K> yup, saves time on my end
03:45:34 <arch> i love meanwell psus. i used this one for my mini reflow oven build. stuffed it to the side of the oven, was a cramped fit, but it works great. of course i used heat reflective tape underneath the PCB to protect it from excess heat. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/mean-well-usa-inc/IRM-05-5/7704652

07:24:14 <rust_collector> ʎ
08:37:14 <arch> electrohead, "you made this?.... i made this" (ai on the left; you on the right)
08:37:31 <arch> yoink!
08:44:45 <electrohead> lol
08:45:00 <electrohead> I ported the ethernet stuff from the other dude's branch
08:45:30 <electrohead> and since from the start it uses that platformio stuff, figured why not try to keep it as it's made, no?
08:45:32 <electrohead> ..
08:45:36 <electrohead> 'lol'
08:46:01 <electrohead> that's the point where I nearly gave up. serious, wtf is with so many libraries that do nearly the same thing?
08:46:19 <electrohead> I played match the versions to get nowhere game, for quite some hours
08:47:45 <electrohead> if I decide to work on anything else other than the meshcore companion, I'm not using platformio and just going to fork and revise, maybe make a spinoff of some sort

11:00:09 <MrMobodies> I am not surprised
11:00:57 <MrMobodies> especially where that man who recently died of cancer was treated a few years ago during his heart surgery
11:01:23 <MrMobodies> and still putting DNR on patients profiles without consent only to find out when it maybe too late
11:02:06 <MrMobodies> after his triple heart bypass, the ward staff placed a banana and yoghurt on his tray by his bedside
11:03:21 <MrMobodies> if was just after surgery and very weak, he asked the nurse if they could help by opening the yoghurt and peel the banana and he said they rudely abruptily told him to do it himself.
11:03:51 <MrMobodies> after an argument they eventually removed the cover of the yoghurt
11:07:07 <MrMobodies> what about a "zero tollerance" "to the willingness OF REFUSING TO HELP PATIENTS" when they are unable to things like that and need assistance.

11:34:33 <MrMobodies> Not the article but this bit on the side to do with that "Chemistry Nightclub"
11:34:48 <MrMobodies> This bit: "Four schools and two universities in Kent have seen confirmed cases, as well as a higher education institution in London - all of which are linked to a nightclub in Canterbury called Club Chemistry"
11:35:00 <MrMobodies> So that's what these modern day academics get up to.
11:35:25 <MrMobodies> I remeber 30 years ago it was the othr way round.
11:35:54 <MrMobodies> I am also surprised that

11:37:52 <MrMobodies> There are SO MANY OF THEM, in fact so much they are being turned away from tratment and this is what these "academics" spend their time on for their academic study... nightclubs. My sister only went to them during her time off.
11:39:42 <MrMobodies> I mean during the holidays when she was at home. She spent most of her hours going through paperwork and book and books at her place in Colchester for a teaching degree to become a teacher.
11:41:37 <MrMobodies> She was forced to join a "society" or get kickd out and she told me the one she joned was "the gothic culture". They had to pay to become a mamber... BS. That's where she met her now divorced manipulative huband, filled her bedroom full of witch craftery things.
11:42:20 <MrMobodies> She told me, the only people who benefit are the ones who run the society and her lot used it to go on holidays...
11:44:16 <MrMobodies> Steve30, you ever been to a nightclub?
11:45:34 <steve30> nope
11:47:45 <MrMobodies> I hear folks at the pub over the years mentioning how they abandoned their drinks when they saw theirs spiked at some of them in Peterborough.
11:48:13 <MrMobodies> well for time to time when they visit these places

11:56:56 <MrMobodies> I have an idea, Winamp even though it does work the visuals from Sonique, apples bilinear filtering and renders at higher resolutions, it doesn't seem to influence, sizes and colours making it look not as appeaing
11:58:19 <MrMobodies> so maybe i could run Sonique in a Windows XP virtualbox, get it in seamingless mode on the screen and have it play a remote streaming file from Videolan player via line in.
12:08:30 * steve30 wonders what Halcyon is up to
12:09:14 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/hc3Tck4v/Sonique-media-player.jpg
12:10:10 <MrMobodies> I have seen so many, whilst they look good quality there influence doesn't seem to be there as the one here, where parts of it light up and it's slow, not flashy quick
12:10:25 <MrMobodies> like a lot of thought went into it
12:40:39 <Halcyon> steve30 just got back from the shops
12:58:01 <steve30> i hope you bought me some tasty foods :p
13:05:43 <Halcyon> I bough meats and salami's to make pizza later
13:05:49 <Halcyon> Oh and wine
13:17:47 * electrohead waves and things
13:18:30 <Halcyon> Oh hayyy
13:28:54 <steve30> mmm, meat
13:29:21 * steve30 nibbles on Halcyon's meat
13:29:59 <Halcyon> I bought spicy salami

15:20:34 <Halcyon> I am rearranging all the bathroom and kitchen "overs"
15:20:56 <Halcyon> We have about 12 tubes of new toothpaste and various other things
15:21:28 * steve30 stocked up on toothpaste a while back
15:24:05 <steve30> this thinkpad is slow at x264-ing compared to my desktop computer
15:30:18 * steve30 is watching an old tv programme called "Sorry"

16:37:19 <MrMobodies> Compared to that one, man I have seen whilst pretty but crap in relation to the tune.
16:37:45 <MrMobodies> All those little things light up on different sides to express the sound
16:53:43 <steve30> looks good

22:54:53 <xstevia> Theres a stop bombing Iran protest on today
22:56:32 <xstevia> Theres also some people with E U flags
23:05:21 <MrMobodies> Well I hope Keir Starmer resists Trump into using British bases to launch their attack.
23:06:03 <MrMobodies> The Iranians will then ask Putin "Can you do us a favour and bomb Britain."
23:07:26 <MrMobodies> Trump: "No, no, no, no, I didn't have anything to do with it, nothing to do with it, they were launched from British bases"
23:08:42 <MrMobodies> of course I could see how he'd get out scot free
23:09:25 <MrMobodies> I read pressure building up to get Trump to drop the war.
23:10:02 <MrMobodies> Don't want to live in conditions worse then lockdown if they start bombing britain.
23:11:14 <MrMobodies> and you wouldn't need to leave a light on to be found unlike World War 2 they'd see you with the things they have today. Bunkers and they'd find ways of getting people out through disturbing the ground.

23:14:52 <MrMobodies> "Those who were due to have *face to face appointments* at the practice were informed these were to take place over the phone, until the surgery re-opened its doors on Thursday."
23:15:26 <MrMobodies> Rather than reschedule face to face and how difficult it can be to get yhem, what a GREAT excuse they came up with to avoid seeing people.
