06:22:19 <rust_collector> rawr!
06:44:41 <arch> XD
06:47:06 <steve30> So, apparently the police used Sony laptop Digital 8 VCRs on motorbikes two decades ago :)

07:03:40 <MrMobodies> never a fire brigade catch fire on it's own before
07:05:13 <MrMobodies> I wonder if someone left their jack in there with a phone or powerbank and it overheated or got crushed

12:26:38 <steve30> o/
12:26:51 <Nothing\> looking to upgrade the 128gb card in my switch to a 256gb, they're about as much as a 2tb ssd
12:27:04 <Nothing\> heya steve how's it going?
12:27:42 <Nothing\> i think i might just get the SSD, except I only have room for an m.3 in my computer, so it's going to be just as prohibitively expensive
12:28:34 <Nothing\> i COULD get a case with an actual harddrive bay in it, but I don't much feel like dismantling my computer entirely and then rebuilding it in a new case
12:28:58 * steve30 is fooding
12:29:04 <Nothing\> plus, with the cost of the case, unless I use one of my 1998 vintage cases, I'm looking at spending just as much
12:29:44 <Nothing\> ahh i just had some loaded perogies with sour cream, 3 cheeses, bacon bits, and the usual filling, bacon, potato and cheese
12:30:28 <Nothing\> except i'm noticing a problem with north american junk food is the go way overboard on the garlic. No matter what it is, they drown it in garlic, onion and/or salt
12:30:49 <Nothing\> i dunno if the UK has a similar problem, or if it's just a symptom of it being heavily processed food
12:36:26 <Nothing\> think i'll just get one of these $70 microsd cards. I don't need something super fast for my switch
12:37:26 <Nothing\> i was actually considering buying a Switch 2 or PS5 but I had a really hard time justifying spending that much money on something i might only play 2 or 3 games for even after they've had several years to make something good
12:38:12 <Nothing\> especially considering they're about $800 on their own never mind with a controller and one or two games, you're north of $1k by that point

22:24:34 <MrMobodies> Bullshit article with word tangent
22:24:35 <MrMobodies> https://briefglance.com/articles/the-19-billion-signal-unlocking-the-untapped-power-of-uk-smart-meters
22:24:36 <EEVBot> [url] The £1.9 Billion Signal: Unlocking the Untapped Power of UK Smart Meters - BriefGlance.com | briefglance.com
22:25:19 <MrMobodies> Quote " a vastly underutilized national asset with the potential to unlock £1.9 billion" By penalizing the customers at times referred to as "peak".
22:26:08 <MrMobodies> "Groundbreaking, 1.9 billion, untapped" it sounds to me like they discovered a mine full of gold.
22:27:52 <MrMobodies> Wordsoup tangent "this data allows network operators to fine-tune voltage with surgical precision, reducing waste, improving energy efficiency, and bolstering grid resilien"... thereby achieving net zero and customers satisfaction.
22:28:51 <MrMobodies> Fine tune voltage? That should be the substation doing that.
22:30:16 <MrMobodies> Quote: " The UK's retailer-led, opt-in approach, unlike mandated rollouts seen in countries like Spain and Italy, requires sustained effort and resources to persuade the remaining households."
22:31:06 <MrMobodies> It is a RIGHT, apparently that was decided . So until the meter cerfitication expires or it breaks down. They can f*** off.
22:32:36 <MrMobodies> I see they claim that implement Market wide half hour settlement, EVERYBODY must be on it. Would it matter if they were off grid.
22:34:01 <MrMobodies> "billions in building a world-class smart metering network" LIARS, no they haven't. They are only now just fixing it after the government brought in rules for them.
22:35:34 <MrMobodies> how can 70% be under utilized unless if it is for the purposes other than to make more money to rip people off at some point and rack up their bills during peak times
22:35:42 <MrMobodies> Do you think the article is sincere?

22:38:10 <MrMobodies> "connections had not been tightened up" is exactly what I anticipated since they announced they started using untrained female workers they just started to train on the job.

23:44:54 <Halcyon> Evening all
23:46:17 <K> heyyaa

23:56:57 <Nothing\> hey, are isp and TTL interfaces the same thing?
23:57:14 <K> hmm, it depends
23:57:16 <Nothing\> they have the same number of pins and the connectors are keyed the same way
23:58:01 <Nothing\> K, yeah see i've been having issues getting my function gen to connect to my computer via usb so i can use the software to utilize more functions. I'd really like an FM signal.
23:58:22 <K> ISP is "In System Programming" and is a funcional thing, without any electrical, or indeed, protocol specifications. TTL is electrical specifiation - signal levels, bus specifics and such.
23:58:27 <Nothing\> and it has a TTL port, and I happen to have an ISP to USB adapter, so I thought maybe i could use that
23:58:40 <Nothing\> but all that wound up happening was the adapter got super hot and burned me
23:58:55 <Nothing\> making it the second resistive burn i've had this week somehow
23:59:37 <Nothing\> K, it's funny, i knew all of that, but i didn't put it all together until you summed it up in one sentence
23:59:38 <K> ISP is generally is for programming/flashing, not control
23:59:56 <Nothing\> ahh, yeah that's my other issue i was gonna ask about
