08:19:29 <MrMobodies> Well thank you VERY MUCH JOE
08:19:30 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/XYqv7gwD/Annoying-Guassian-Blur.jpg
08:19:46 <MrMobodies> This GOBBLEYGOOK CRAP has now crept in
08:20:00 <MrMobodies> I just couldn't watch it like that
08:21:01 <MrMobodies> Lights moving around the sides screaming for attention. Don't they realize hw ANNOYING that could be... They should try that in the cinema's on the unused bits of the screen and see the effects on the audiences
08:21:51 <MrMobodies> I don't want unused pixels on my screen to light up MINDLESSLY and for the sake of it.
08:23:17 <MrMobodies> out of all the things they could do, static background, black of white, static colour to blend in with it... they chose one that moves with the content. An unclear copy of whatveer is playing. I think a stupid idea!
08:38:50 <K> howd'yall like my new radio? https://imgur.com/a/yY4Vxh7
08:48:29 <MrMobodies> A spectrum analyzer?
08:48:48 <MrMobodies> Looks pretty big
08:54:27 <K> it is a radio network analyzer from rohde & schwarz

08:58:33 <K> basically a box with a pair of lab grade RF receivers and demodulators and can be coaxed to transmit IQ data via gigabit ethernet, glorious 20MHz at 15bits per sample
09:01:03 <K> coaxing took some doing though, box did not have the necesssary option enabled, had to poke in firmware to get to key algo
09:01:08 <K> for some days.
09:26:25 <rc-garage> that looks like it was really cheap, when it was new
09:36:58 <K> yeah
09:37:19 <K> now it was 300
09:37:59 <K> found it in some cnc/mechanical tools sellers listings, or almost 2k
09:38:13 <K> and devil made me offer him the 300
09:38:23 <rc-garage> aww
09:38:35 <K> curses!
09:38:47 <rc-garage> yeah, he would be ok with 220
09:38:52 <K> yeah
09:39:14 <K> for my troubles it arrived with half of the leds bumped off the front pcb
09:39:31 <K> and the rtc battery in it is dead and also has somewhat unusal shape.
09:40:29 <K> but both rf inputs work, calibration is intact and these past few days were fun
09:42:13 <K> and i am quite sure i am about only one listening to soft cells tainted love on a radio netowork monitoring gear that did cell tower quality monitoring in previous life
09:42:35 <K> also, fuck sleep, aparently
09:43:48 <electrohead> woah

09:44:07 <electrohead> > glorious 20MHz at 15bits per sample
09:44:14 <electrohead> that's nice :D
09:45:14 <K> that is amost full gigabit pipe
09:56:15 <K> and now i get to spend more on N connectors and that fucking wierd ass 2-pin d-sub power connector.
11:30:08 <electrohead> Lol, next thing you know, you have like 50 bins full of N connectors and adapters
11:30:26 * electrohead looks around the lab, points to at least three bins

11:54:20 <MrMobodies> Just wow, this fooled me for a bit. Thought it was something from the 80's I hadn't heard yet.

11:54:46 <MrMobodies> couldn't find nothing about it until I saw in tiny writing "AI"
11:58:28 <rc-garage> bin bin bin
12:00:31 <MrMobodies> Sad it doesn't actutally exist as it is not made be a real human. Just things put together at the say so from someone with little effort.
12:00:57 <MrMobodies> so on that basis I won't be using it for the disco on Saturday.
12:01:36 <MrMobodies> Pretty annoyed I stumbled on something that sounded promising to find out I can't use it now.
12:02:09 <MrMobodies> they won't recognise it, question and find out it is artifically made
12:02:31 <MrMobodies> and that'd undermine it
12:05:22 <MrMobodies> I was looking for electrosynth stuff
12:06:30 <MrMobodies> a bit like this one

12:09:23 <MrMobodies> The voice I couldn't care about. It's the way it sound.
12:10:23 <MrMobodies> 1:02 so smooth with the changeover
12:18:35 <MrMobodies> bI se Elektro Synapse just makes AI content
12:18:55 <MrMobodies> No wonder why early this year the artist's were worried
12:19:30 <MrMobodies> about their music or parts being copied over and rearranged into something else

15:01:25 <MrMobodies> Hello
15:01:35 <MrMobodies> Steve30, do you think this is a waste of time and money?

15:11:31 <MrMobodies> I questioned what happened and it sounds odd to me. The man boys a car that was written off basically trash and had been salvages for parts, sends it in a garage that should have never passed it and should have investigated those seatbelts
15:11:35 <MrMobodies> but at the same time
15:11:56 <MrMobodies> he was driving it
15:12:19 <MrMobodies> "after they went missing on a night out."
15:12:43 <MrMobodies> I wonder if they did an autopsy to determine if he was drunk and do checks whether he was speeding.
15:15:36 <MrMobodies> Would you trust with your life, buying a car with 100,000 on the clock that had been written off in a crash?
15:20:52 <MrMobodies> they don't seem to talk about what the survivors had to say, unless they breaks failed it's likely he was speeding to that roundabout
15:22:38 <MrMobodies> well this says it ALL, it happened three years ago and now they are going after the garage
