Wow @Bob and @JourneymanGeek's avatars are hard to distinguish on mobile

o.O I didn't even notice
 
I'm feeling grumpy :)
Off-topic, but see How to Install Windows 7/8/8.1/10 on a PS3 and Ps4. Of course you could have searched for "install windows on playstation" and found this out for yourself. — DavidPostill 1 min ago

@DavidPostill that link looks like BS :p
Otheros is disabled I thought. And while I think the ps4 is x86 based I doubt it's a standard PC platform

A: Suck or blow? What's better for dust?

bwDracoGenerally speaking, you want to blow because it's a lot easier to concentrate blowing force than vacuuming force. Besides, the risk of ESD is higher with vacuuming. The OP and others have mentioned using something like a leaf blower to clear dust from a computer. Actually, American vacuum cleane...

 
It is totally bogus, if it was ever true (Linux part), its outdated by years
I saw it was pushing a premium product (Linux) upsell.

@Bob replied :)
 
@Bob I'm amused the growl question got an upvote today
 
whoa, GPU spot instances on Amazon in Oregon are ridiculously cheap right now
$5.70 per hour for a p2.16xlarge with 16 K80 GPUs and 792 GiB of RAM, 64 CPU cores
only double that if you want guaranteed defined duration
so for 20 bucks you can get 2 hours of ... ridic
 
4:18 AM
historically accurate
 
for some reason that image hasn't (isn't? loading)
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek lol, answer did too
@allquixotic That looks kinda familiar but not at the same time :S
@allquixotic replied to reply :P
 
4:50 AM
Morning!
Why haven't the happy birthday messages been started? WE ALWAYS STAR THEM
 
5:02 AM
@Bob Ha! the Free American Empire creates mechanized infantry divisions called "Stormtroopers" in HoI IV
very well-coded AI to automatically name things in meaningful ways
I imagine there's a modern German democracy name for some kind of peacekeeper forces that they would start creating if you successfully engineered a democracy coup in Nazi Germany, playing as another country :P
 
Bob
:P
@allquixotic geek should be back soon... you're offline on steam at the moment?
 
I'm online on my screen o_O as The Engineer
 
Bob
@allquixotic It's a bit off there
@allquixotic ...is Steam not logged in to community?
happens sometimes
 
fixed
 
Bob
I'll restart mine idk
 
5:06 AM
@Bob I mean, GFW is rediculously obscure

Hm. I'm still on 375.70
 
I'll be a moment. Need to erm. Water some trees

the other day my latench spiked up to ~1s in the middle of a CS game
ended up hopping over to LTE at about 25ms with minor spikes :P
granted that was at like 1am
 
back
what're we doing today? AOTS?
 
not opposed (to any particular thing you guys wanna do, including AOTS)
 
5:11 AM
HOTS?

ashes of the singularity ;p
 
Bob

My ringtone is the theme from Jaws
It is easy to tell when it rings :-)
 
 
2 hours later…
11:27 AM
Should I upgrade from Nexus 4 to Moto G Play? Not sure but I need something new because Nexus 4 loses its trade-in value.
 
Bob
wat
 
That's a ... pretty terrible reason to upgrade
 
That's not the only reason... Nexus 4 has 4.7" screen. I need faster device but which does not exceed 5" screen size. Most do
 
11:43 AM
@Boris_yo that would be mainly an OS upgrade, other specs are essentially identical. I doubt that theres any performance upgrade there: gsmarena.com/…

Happy Birthday @DavidPostill!

Q: ArchLinux multi GPU with different GPU types

soeldererI have a Thinkpad T420 with a Intel HD 3000 and a EXP GDC ExpressCard eGPU adaptor with a ZOTAC Geforce GT 630 attached to it. I have two monitors connected to the GT 630 and want to have an additional monitor driven by the internal GPU. I found some posts where people where using GPUs of the sa...

that's an interesting setup
 
@Mokubai Yep :)
 
What a curious coincidence
 
@Mokubai not really if you consider the birthday paradox
!!wiki birthday paradox
the bot is dead
@allquixotic ^^^
 
I was going to say, there was something about birthdays ending up on statistically common days
 
1:05 PM
In probability theory, the birthday problem or birthday paradox concerns the probability that, in a set of n {\displaystyle n} randomly chosen people, some pair of them will have the same birthday. By the pigeonhole principle, the probability reaches 100% when the number of people reaches 366 (since there are only 365 possible birthdays, excluding February 29). However, 99.9% probability is reached with just 70 people, and 50% probability with 23 people. These conclusions are based on the assumption that each day of the year (except February 29) is equally...
 
@JourneymanGeek I guess the easy way is to fire up X twice. But then you cannot move the cursor from one set (external screen on real GPU) to the screen one the iGPU.
 
@Mokubai That doesn't work for January :)
 
@Hennes was thinking more the laptop with a full fat video card
 
1:07 PM
if i had to guess, in the northern hemisphere i would think that summer months had the most birthdays because cold winter nights == sexy time
 
We used to put full fat (PCI) videocards in the laptops dock.
 
@DavidPostill I'm in one of the "poeple don't get born on these days" patches
 
@Burgi That's probably correct :)
@Mokubai Feb 30th? :)
 
lol
 
Okay rarely then...
less common even
 
1:10 PM
the 13th of every month (expect the summer) is oddly quiet
 
But according to the chart, many people just before and just after. Maybe people just hold the babies in on those days.
 
lol
i'm not entirely sure of the mechanics but is that a thing?
 
IANAD, but maybe?
 
without being crude, i figure its like trying to hold in a really big fart
 
Bob
 
1:14 PM
@Burgi s/fart/watermelon/ :)
 
i never try to hold in my watermelons
 
@Burgi Free range watermelons?
 
i let them wander the fields, grazing peacefully
thats how watermelons work, right?
i'm a city boy...
 
Yeah, they graze the fields next to the chocolate vla factories (which tend to be purple&white four legged Swiss creatures).
 
1:42 PM
@Burgi and on dark nights, when the moon is as red as blood the insides of a watermelon... people tell tales... of vampire watermelons...
 
screams and hides under the duvet
 
1:56 PM
Vampire watermelons in the wild!

Ash is April 21 ;p
 
2:08 PM
@djsmiley2k an early happy birthday
@JourneymanGeek Ketchum?
 
@Nick the dog.
 
@JourneymanGeek You have a dog you saw birthed out of a mama dog... and you remembered the date of that...
 
@Nick naw
Petshops have records of such things
 
@JourneymanGeek Ooh, fancy petshop with records and stuff. Most courts don't have records that good.
 
@Nick its singapore though everyone has a record ;p
 
2:14 PM
I have this old phone whose touchscreen broke, so I yanked it out, thinking it could be stilled be used. Turns out the touch feature needs the screengaurd and the screen is just a regular lcd.
So, I was wondering if you guys knew if I could hack this display into something useful.
 
you could attach a USB OTG adaptor to the phone and use it with a mouse...
 
 
or get a replacement digitiser
 
Bob
@Nick you can get a digitiser+glass replacement pretty cheap
 
@JourneymanGeek I like this idea better. It definitely won't work in this case but it's nice to fantasize about.
 
Bob
2:22 PM
wait is that a s5
I'm pretty sure @Dog did the same :P
maybe to a s4
brb mosquito hunting
 
@Bob less than $10 ?
 
Bob
something like that, I guess
maybe even less ebay.com.au/itm/…
 
Bob
2:51 PM
welp
a building evacuation siren has been going on for 15 mins
and I'm pretty sure I just heard an emergency vehicle siren too
 
I just got thunderbolts and lightning
 
Bob
and there's more emergency vehicles
 
Damn. Another stupid audit fail. I added a comment because the OP hadn't block quoted his referenced text. Bam - audit fail superuser.com/review/first-posts/617687
 
Bob
I hope I don't wake up to a burned down building
(nearby, not the one I'm in :P)
 
2:55 PM
@JourneymanGeek Boasting about your connectors again? :)
 
Bob
in hopefully unrelated news, my phone is currently too hot to hold
 
@DavidPostill naw, its @allquixotic that has both ;p
(Small storm going on outside.)
If I hear annoyed growling, its a proper storm and it work the roomie up
 
Bob
yay sirens stopped
 
3:42 PM
lol
Look at a question since it seemed interesting...
turns out I'd answered it 3 years ago
 
4:15 PM
Heh.
Bumped by community ?
 
4:37 PM
From Samsung Galaxy S5:

"Near Field Communication (NFC): Open, secure, ISIS-ready"
ISIS???
 
Have a little faith
 
In what?
 
@Boris_yo the egyptian river goddess
 
What it is to do with ISIS?
 
4:40 PM
it means the phone is ready for when the nile floods
Isis (/ˈaɪsɪs/; Ancient Greek: Ἶσις IPA: [îː.sis]; original Egyptian pronunciation more likely "Aset" or "Iset") is a goddess from the polytheistic pantheon of Egypt. She was first worshiped in ancient Egyptian religion, and later her worship spread throughout the Roman Empire and the greater Greco-Roman world. Isis is still widely worshiped by many pagans today in diverse religious contexts; including a number of distinct pagan religions, the modern Goddess movement, and interfaith organizations such as the Fellowship of Isis. Isis was worshipped as the ideal mother and wife as well as the patroness...
 
The bar seems to be set rather low. What makes these system requirements unusual is that Ubisoft went through the trouble of testing multiple generations of older hardware, going as far back as 2010.
 
@Burgi Oh then that's a great deal.
 
:)
 
@bwDraco Normally developers are in cahoots with hardware makers and are not interested in opitmizing code...
 
all electronics have to be deity compatible
 
4:43 PM
@Burgi But it is also another ISIS ready. But those were elimiated though. So that's an outdated selling point.
 
its an obsolete phone
 
@Burgi Do you know if Nexus happens to be diety too?
@Burgi No. It is still for flood that is to happen soon.
Not really outdated.
Unless there is Isis v2.0 for greater flood.
For v3.0 I believe it's next generation. The greatest flood. After that they will have to come up with something new.
 
@Boris_yo i'm lead to understand that nexus is the spawn of the false god "Google"
 
@Burgi What's the good upgrade from Nexus 4?
 
idk
i've never used a nexus 4
 
4:56 PM
What cellphone do you use?
 
i have a moto G (3rd generation)
 
@Burgi No NFC...
 
so?
 
@Burgi Not a big deal? You don't use it for data exchange? Speakers activation?
 
you can do all that with bluetooth
 
4:59 PM
Yeah but NFC is faster.
 
only if the devices are next to each other
 
Lol trade-in for Nexus 4 is $11 ...
Pfff. Might as well upgrade in next 2 years. No rush.
And I hoped they would give me $100...
 
@Boris_yo Marginally, at best, unless you are constantly changing what device is paired with things
 
@Mokubai NFC makes it easier to change devices.
 
Hence
> unless you are constantly changing what device is paired with things
 
5:05 PM
@Mokubai Are you aware of latest flash drives with lightning connectors that allow easy data exchange with iOS devices?
 
No, because I couldn't care less about iOS devices
 
@Rahul2001 He looks so sad... it's probably the selfie stick...
 
@Mokubai Selfie stick illness.
@Rahul2001 Hah...
 
5:41 PM
 
That doesn't really belong in chat.
 
That's definitely leaning toward NSFW
 
NSFW?
guys do you know anything about this site: <link removed> ..the site owner uploads latest tv shows and create hyperlinks in html webpage with no ads, no tracking cookies, no sign ups, no information. Just hyperlinks on the plain white page. How does he earn to keep his server online? wikipedia or any other site has no information of that site..even its domain name keeps on changing after few days
 
6:04 PM
@AlanWatch How do you find it when it changes
 
I think that's a backing store for a web site that does have ads
 
Also, I need to remove that link because piracy, sorry
 
oh sure
i just want to know that who is hosting it..it seems anonymous
 
So how to do you find it anyway @AlanWatch :P
 
6:06 PM
@HackToHell i can't but i thought someone might know
its domain name changes, i saw it changing after every few days
 
I think the web site that's the front end for it is updated and people poke around in that site's source to find the files themselves
 
@AlanWatch you can use who.is to find the contact details of any website
 
This particular site has WhoisGuard
 
ah
well you can look up the IP address
 
so its an anonymous back up server which is public?
 
6:09 PM
or do a reverse IP lookup to see if there are any other sites on the same IP and then you can whois those
 
IP Address will only tell me the location..i wanted to know the motive because the site owner most likely to be arrrested for piracy
 
I think the front end site has ads
 
i can't see any ads on it..do u see them? probably my adblocker
 
I also have an ad blocker and I didn't poke around much, but sites of that kind pretty much always have ads
 
it doesn't..i viewed the page source..not even any ad tracking cookies
 
6:14 PM
Interesting
 
VirusTotal might help you track down the site's origins.
I do this with spam websites all the time.
@AlanWatch The F12 dev tools will make it much easier to see whether there are any scripts or other resources that are used to serve ads or track users.
The page's source code alone may contain references to external resources but they aren't going to be obvious.
 
get the IP, lookup the IP to find the hosting company, report for breach of ToS
 
@bwDraco ok lets just assume it display ads but how effectively? for me the webpage only has hyperlinks..if there is no ad shown to me the admin won't be getting any money..the site is shown as the top most result on google, it means lot of people visit it for its free service
 
Right, the web site you originally linked has only hyperlinks, but there's another (much fancier) web site that seems to use those files
To me, the one with just the files seems like an auto-generated directory listing
 
@BenN then why it's public..it should be private
 
6:29 PM
The files themselves need to be accessible (so the player can use them), but yeah, the directory browser might not be intentionally public
 
@BenN maybe you are right..the original download source might be coming from different source
i should have guessed that..it doesn't store data..it only stores hyperlinks to various public servers
 
Oh, sorry, I meant that the only web elements it has are hyperlinks (as opposed to ads)
I think it does have the actual files, but those are used by a different site
I didn't try to download any, because piracy
 
i'll investigate to which IP Address i am redirected when i click to send download request..if the IP is same then it also stores pirated data and if it is different then it keeps only the links of various pirated sources
 
6:58 PM
@Burgi wut
kinda explains a lot
 
7:13 PM
lol @ "because piracy"
 
7:45 PM
@bwDraco piracy is bad, mmmkay?
 
speaking of which.... YAAAAAR!!!
 
8:01 PM
:p
 
8:24 PM
Grins. Breaking news from Bagdad Bob. (If you do not know who that is please do look him up. He was funny).
Richard Spencer didn't get punched in the face in DC on Friday. That was an alternative handshake.'
 
xD
America is falling apart
'We are a free country they shout'
'We had an election, a free process, but now we don't like it' so we're gonna stop people being free'
I'm so confused
 
so it turns out each time i run utorrent (for legitimate software) it crashes the networking stack in windows and i have to reboot
any suggestions on a fix?
@djsmiley2k well trump has been been president for 48 hours and we aren't dead yet. things are looking up!
 
:D
don't run utorrent?
 
8:48 PM
i mean i'm not even sure how it does that
but maybe reinstall?>
 
Does resetting the network adapter work, at least?
 
@BenN no
 
9:07 PM
Do other torrent clients cause the same problem?
 
9:26 PM
i haven't tried any
i have a sneaky suspicion that it might have been mcafee site advisor causing the issue
i've uninstalled it so lets see if that improves matters
 
Hmm... does anyone know if 850mb is big for an Exchange Calendar?
 
9:57 PM
how many entries are in it?
btw looks like it was site advisor
 
Antivirus breaks things again!
 
It was protecting you from viruses. Obviously!
 
utorrent has those weird ads in it, i think siteadvisor was somehow trying to read those
my girlfriend got me £30 of steam vouchers for my birthday
not sure what to buy
or if i should just wait for the spring sale
she also give me a voucher, the contents of which would get me insta-banned if i divulged the contents
suffice to say it involves steak
 
10:26 PM
@Burgi 0_0
@Burgi On the 14th of March by any chance? :)
 
Bob
hi
 
Hi!
 
10:55 PM
@Burgi why are you running utorrent ? ;p
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek didn't you hear? for legitimate software.
 
@Bob I mean, there's better torrent clients
 
Bob
Yes, you can talk to a rubber duck. Yes, some people will think you are weird. It is not clear what help you need. — Masked Man 10 hours ago
 
@JourneymanGeek care to share?
@DavidPostill it doesn't have an expiry date but i have heard that date mentioned by others in the past
 
@Burgi lol. Enjoy :)
 
11:07 PM
btw turns it might not have been site advisor
 
@Burgi There is even an official website (which I won't disclose) ...
 
i'm pretty certain it is within my skillset to locate that website...
wow... there are rival official websites
 
TIL
@Burgi I never heard of the custom until you mentioned steak. I was so curious I had to go hunting :)
 
@Burgi What kind of steak could be so inappropriate to warrant an insta-ban?
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy its the side order that goes with the steak
 
11:13 PM
@ThatBrazilianGuy 14th of March is the only clue I'm going to give you on this chatroom :)
@Burgi I saw what you did there :)
 
innocent
 
After a google search for date + food I am now quite envious.
 
@DavidPostill it was probably too explicit to leave the joke intact
 
@Burgi Yep. Borderline.
 
i've only ever heard one other person mention it and that was the lead dev at my previous job
 
11:17 PM
@Burgi qbitorrent is what I use for most things
picotorrent if I want a VERY basic client, but qbitorrent has a few features I need
 
@Burgi When I was younger it was melted chocolate ...
 
that just sounds messy
@JourneymanGeek thanks, i'll give it a try
 
@Burgi it is :)
 
@Bob stuff like gimp and ubuntu
 
And Linux livecds :p
 
Bob
11:41 PM
@JourneymanGeek @Burgi see also: deluge
@DavidPostill wat
 
@Burgi I'm tempted to liken utorrent post bitorrent to windows XP
 
2 hours ago, by Burgi
she also give me a voucher, the contents of which would get me insta-banned if i divulged the contents
 
If MS started adding all the telemetry from windows 10, then added popup ads ....
actually come to think of it, a compromised copy of XP with adware would be exactly like what utorrent is like now
Yeah, there's all the arguments about actually making money but they seem to have forgotten that there's substitutes that work just as well, and ut isn't as light as it used to be, and that was the entire point
