@tereško and advertisers who cannot count

Aibobot

hm. Joy. I literally have no spoons (I pack lunch)

That Brazilian Guy

Mr. Robot is so dark and depressing.

Aibobot

It is

That Brazilian Guy

I started watching for the accurate depiction of IT, and the hacking culture, in that order

Aibobot

but his whole craziness is essential in driving the plot

actually the whole 'you're part of his delusion' is an interesting subversion of breaking the 4th wall

(I assume everyone has watched season one, who intends to)

That Brazilian Guy

12:19 AM

I'm in the 4th episode and it looks like the plot is 25% drugs, 25% "look at me I have tihs mental condition wow so dark so intense", 25% people betraying each other in relationships, and 10% actual tech stuff.

@Aibobot FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

You just ~~made me realized~~ straight up told me his "imaginary friend" is me

Aibobot

Wait, you didn't watch the first season?

Aibobot

shit

That Brazilian Guy

You just made a major spoiler?

Aibobot

Oh, that's only a minor spoiler

That Brazilian Guy

12:21 AM

(even if you did, say NO!)

lol

Aibobot

essentially its an important undertone, but you're still a observer

That Brazilian Guy

Yeah, but I should have noticed. His first phrase is "hello friend".

Aibobot

oh, that's part of the beauty of the show

Its grimdark as heck

BUT you're watching it, then you notice things from older episodes that you SHOULD have noticed and makes sense in context

and occasionally they just hit you with a curveball

That Brazilian Guy

Sometimes I get the impression that it builds upon the image that the "average internet nerd" has of, well, the average internet nerd. Smart, misunderstood, misfit, with a rebellious sense of justice, feels special, lack of social skills, obsessive with (a) female(s).

But as I said, I'm still in the 4th episode

Aibobot

yup

That Brazilian Guy

12:27 AM

The scene in the drughouse made me unconfortable. The whole episode made me uncomfortable.

Aibobot

that's part of the thing

Least it wasn't dark mirror level grimdark

(Great series I can't watch cause its too upsetting)

That Brazilian Guy

Yeah, well, that's a series I really want to watch, but at the same time I think I don't.

Aibobot

I watched the first episode

It was powerful and... kinda disgusting

Decided there were better things to watch that were happier

Currently waiting for the next season of the expanse

That Brazilian Guy

My workplace was closed yesterday and today because of a protest.

Aibobot

Nice

That Brazilian Guy

12:34 AM

Friday it's a holiday and next monday a strike (with no end date in the near future) begins because of said protest.

Aibobot

still having trouble with your president?

That Brazilian Guy

My boss wants us to go there wednesday and thursday. The place will be deserted. Sigh.

Aibobot

No one's in yet, and I have no clue what I have tasked for the day

That Brazilian Guy

@Aibobot Well, you see, Count Drac, I mean, """"""""President"""""""""" Temer is passing a wonderful law...

The nation's budget is too tight, so to save the nation we're completely freezing the budget for health and education for the next 20 years

Journeyman Geek

@ThatBrazilianGuy 20 o0

That Brazilian Guy

@JourneymanGeek Yeah. The population will grow bigger and older, but the budget for 2036 will be the same as for 2016. Nice, huh?

Until now, there are minimum percentages of the countrie's GDP to be invested in health and education.

Said law abolishes these minimuns and establishes maximums

The liberal right-wing is having wet dreams since the new presidency

Aibobot

ah

wait liberal right wing?

yeah, that's nonsensical

wasn't stuff like that why your last president was deposed?

That Brazilian Guy

Trying to understand Brazilian politics is like trying to follow the logic of a madman.

Aibobot

That's true of most politics

See the US :p

That Brazilian Guy

12:49 AM

@Aibobot In the very first week of his presidency he nominated politicians investigated for crimes.

Aibobot

heh

I has a spoon

I bought a drink, asked if they had any at the 7-11, and they did

That Brazilian Guy

"Let's impeach this president against who there are no proven crimes and no consensus over the validity of the impeachment, and then let's replace all the ministers by politicians with confirmed tracks of crimes."

Aibobot

erf

I just realised the metadata on the music I just added seems to be missing

which is wierd since it was fine in mp3tag

seems fine on my PC

Messed up on GPM and my phone

@ThatBrazilianGuy new election or the last guy's veep?

That Brazilian Guy

1:08 AM

@Aibobot Our former president was impeached a few months ago and her VP became president.

Aibobot

1:21 AM

yeah

so, same shit different bag

That Brazilian Guy

No, in my opinion it's much worse. The previous government had it's defects but at least in theory it presented itself as aimed at social welfare. The current government aims to replac everything by the private initiative.

Public universities not being free anymore, etc

Well, I have to work tomorrow

3:04 AM

@Aibobot "liberal" as in "economic neoliberalism"

Aibobot

which is more or less the same as classical economic conservatism?>

Bob

@Aibobot Our "Liberal Party" is considered right-wing and our "Labor[sic] Party" left-wing :P

Aibobot

ah

Bob

@Aibobot Also there's some funny thing with definitions... something about conservative liberalism vs social liberalism vs idontevenknow

And of course I prefer to ignore the US "liberal" Democrat party entirely... IIRC they'd be considered right-wing in most other western countries o.O

Q: What is way to eat rice with hands in front of westerners such that it doesn't appear to be yucky?

In India, we eat rice using our fingers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etiquette_of_Indian_dining Generally in the West, a fork or spoon is used. I have tried eating rice with spoon but I don't feel satisfied with it. http://ile-maurice.tripod.com/rice.htm That is dry rice but we mix curry ...

food-and-drink local-customs culture etiquette

djsmiley2k

6:44 AM

@Bob The only thing I'd personally find yucky is if it's a bowl that everyone is eating from

@Boris_yo Don't know about that - I'd presume so, less freedom for heat to move due to less moving atoms?

More likely it dries out, and a physical air gap forms

Bob

@djsmiley2k Usually, dried paste isn't a problem as long as you don't touch it.

Remember that metal-metal contact is optimal.

Paste is just to fill in the tiny imperfections. So it should be very very thin, not even really a layer.

'wet' paste helps with application, because it can flow into the gaps

once it's in, it's in. It's all good until you open it up again.

djsmiley2k

nod

i think of dry paste contracting tho

Don't know if it actually does or not

Bob

7:05 AM

@djsmiley2k eh, there's usually not much liquid in it

Aibobot

@Bob depends on the paste

the stuff that intel uses is really thick

More currencies should have their own symbol

Currency sign (typography)

The currency sign (¤) is a character used to denote an unspecified currency. It is sometimes called scarab. It is often used in place of a symbol that is not present in the font in use; for example, in place of the colón (₡). It can be described as a circle the size of a lowercase character with four short radiating arms at 45° (NE), 135° (SE), 225°, (SW) and 315° (NW). It is raised slightly above the baseline. It is represented in Unicode as U+00A4 ¤ CURRENCY SIGN (HTML ¤ · ¤ · Windows Alt+0164). The currency sign was once a part of the Mac OS Roman character set, but Apple changed...

Just use this for all letters!

HackToHell

@Burgi that road is one of the largest into paris iirc

.

A1 autoroute

The A1 Autoroute, also known as l'autoroute du Nord (the Northern Motorway), is the busiest of France's autoroutes. With a length of 211 km (131 mi), it connects Paris with the northern city of Lille. It is managed by the Société des Autoroutes du Nord et de l'Est de la France (SANEF). The autoroute serves the northern suburbs of Paris, including the Stade de France, Le Bourget, Paris' Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport, and Parc Astérix. From there it crosses Picardy, without directly passing through any of the major cities of the région. Throughout Picardy, the A1 runs parallel to the LGV Nord...

Burgi

1:16 PM

take a look at the M25 near heathrow and you can see loads of cars on it, there are almost none on the french A1 thing

djsmiley2k

that's because the bit i'm talking about is underneath the run ways

:P

yah tho, weird

no traffic

you might have a point there

djsmiley2k

It's normally busy.

bwDraco

1:19 PM

I've probably spent enough time burning in the thermal paste—it was running at or near the temperature limit the last several hours.

djsmiley2k

@bwDraco I think you're over worrying about this.

bwDraco

It's cold enough for me to max out the GPU clocks and not see overheating right now; overheating is inevitable when overclocked under more realistic temperatures but things should be settled.

djsmiley2k

Is this a repair for someone?

bwDraco

No, no, just my personal laptop.

The 780M is barely enough for many of today's games.

djsmiley2k

Sadly many laptops can't run at max, because bad design decisions :/

bwDraco

1:26 PM

The load I used for the burn-in—a CUDA-based cryptocurrency miner—is also especially hard on the GPU. Normal gaming workloads don't cause the GPU to run this hot.

djsmiley2k

yeah

sounds like you may of done a really nice job on it

bwDraco

I was running Assassin's Creed IV last night and did not observe any throttling at stock clocks, but the room temperatures are still rather low (around 63 °F).

Burgi

is burn in necessary?

bwDraco

Had GPU-Z running on a second monitor, GPU peaked at 89 °C.

(throttling begins at 93 °C)

That's... still an improvement from before the thermal paste replacement.

djsmiley2k

Do you know how high it got previously?

I'm thinking of redoing my thinkpad's before I install gentoo

ideally I'd also have enough money to pick up an SSD too but that won't happen til after christmas unless someone starts donating to me

bwDraco

1:38 PM

Used to throttle even under favorable conditions.

Seriously, if putting a big-ass case fan behind the GPU exhaust did not help much, the heatsink clearly isn't removing much heat from the GPU die. That means the thermal contact between the die and heatsink has gone bad.

(doing this used to bring substantial and measurable improvements in temperatures)

16 hours ago, by bwDraco

Before this change, I had thermal throttling even with windows open in cold weather (~50 °F) and my big fan placed behind the laptop to forcibly extract more heat from the exhaust vent.

djsmiley2k

Nice :)

bwDraco

Doing this is much too noisy and requires the laptop display to be lowered a bit to allow for airflow, so it's only done for unattended, heavy GPU workloads.
