Brazil Cost (Portuguese: Custo Brasil [ˈkustu bɾɐˈziw]) refers to the increased operational costs associated with doing business in Brazil, making Brazilian goods and services more expensive compared to other countries. There are several factors that contribute to the extra cost, including: High levels of public deficits; The economy divided into cartels; Inefficiency of public services; Maintenance of high real interest rates; Exaggerated net interest spread of financial institutions (among the highest in the world); Excessive bureaucracy for importing and exporting, creating difficulties for...

@Hennes yea, there's no purpose other than vanity

Step 1: stability. Check if everything works.
After that I will enable XMP (2133 -> 3000MHz RAM) and try the auto OC function.

And if that is stable I will play with both my own values and with the eco (auto underclock) function

@ThatBrazilianGuy here in Chile R$9060 is CLP$1500000 (that number is nothing to be scared of, we don't really have inflation) and is just 6 times the minimum wage (which isn't designed to have so much discretionary expenditure)

Hennes

But first I want to see everything working. Fans need to be connected (case fans are 3 pins and all motherboard headers are 4 pins).

@Hennes cool. Remember to run prime95 and furmark at the same time if you want to really test it.

and do tell us the temps before, during, and after the tests :)

@Bob I won't believe they're any good until somebody else reviews it, with actual equipment rather than ears

What, you won't believe that it exists?

I see no frequency response, THD, etc.

@Bob I've just seen enough to distrust any kind of subjective review that isn't at least accompained by graphs/numbers/data made by calibrated equipment

Bob

@PatoSáinz I've said absolutely nothing about how good or bad they are.

I'm just surprised they already released yet another version.

Anonymous

4:51 PM

@Bob oh I thought you were amazed at how good they were (since both articles praise them)

Bob

I like the Piston v2 and v3. I own both.

I would expect good things from these but I don't have any.

Anonymous

also, I can't stand Xiaomi and their repeated unscrupulous GPL violations

Bob

But the point of linking them above is to say they exist. Especially in light of recent conversations in this room.

@Bob I was comparing the Xiaomi Piston v2 vs. Shure SE215 (Shure is very well known for their IEMs, but this one model is $100 and shite)

Bob

@PatoSáinz Hm?

And what was your conclusion?

That Brazilian Guy

@PatoSáinz nearly finishing the question

Anonymous

for this time, the pistons win by far

Anonymous

just look at THD, at how much flatter is the frequency response and the shapes of those square waves

Bob

5:02 PM

Hm. What do you think it performs better in? (@qasdfdsaq might be interested - he was looking for something comparative iirc)

@PatoSáinz Uhm. Apparently v2 had a rather sharp V, while v3 was pretty flat.

the new Hybrids are supposed to be kinda in between.

Anonymous

yea I mean the pistons are nowhere near perfection (ATH-M50 levels) but for $25 dollars they beat bloody Shure with a $100 model)

Bob

Ah.

I've heard that they're generally competitive with earphones in the ~$80 range.

But of course the expected level of improvement >$100 isn't much anyway.

And of course you have a wide variation. There's plenty of other good ones around $50. Some are even cheaper now. Post-Piston release, so they probably helped :P

Anyway. All I can say is I'm happy with them as a travelling set.

bwDraco

I still have my Pistons. Just love them.

Anonymous

I use Pioneer HDJ-500, cheap and very good

Bob

@bwDraco Which ones were they?

@PatoSáinz Too bulky for me :P

My travelling set needs to fit in my pocket.

bwDraco

5:11 PM

Piston III

Bob

It's also $87 and doesn't ship here -_-

@bwDraco Ah. tbh I preferred v2.

Better isolation.

I just ordered a set of the new Hybrids, so I guess I'll see how that goes.

Even though I really don't need it :P

What I am trying to do I am trying to implement a IP-over-DNS tunnel using iodine by following both this tutorial and this one (further in this question I outline exactly which steps I took). I want to be able to use something like andIodine as a client on my rooted Lollipop smartphone. What I ...

@ThatBrazilianGuy ive actually thought about setting that up for fun. Havent had time to though. They have an android app for it too.

The *nix will start forwarding IP packets even if they are cross interfaces

see if that workz

and yeah, what Dave said

you have to make iptables masquerade

and enable ip_forward

i always forget ip_forward

This brings back days of providing dialup internet to my localnetwork before i had cable internet.

It's my wife's phone, but we're swapping since my phone died. So she's going back to her old one, and I'm getting her Nexus 5.

However, didn't you have an issue with not having permission to unlock the bootloader?

RIP: Internet Explorer 8, 9, and 10 Reach 'End of Lifecycle'.

"It’s official: Internet Explorer, Microsoft’s once-prevalent web browser, is going the way of the AOL install CD. Unlike all of those AOL install discs (which were apparently pretty costly), we can’t use our discarded IE versions as coasters. After a long and (mostly) happy life, IE 8, 9, and 10 will die on Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2016."

A patch, which goes live on January 12, will nag Internet Explorer users on launch to upgrade to a modern browser. KB3123303 adds the nag box, which will appear for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 users still using the old browsers after installing the update.

Michael Frank

@DavidPostill Well, I guess that KB isn't getting installed on any workstation at work. lol

@MichaelFrank Can you enable device encryption once it's backed up, and make sure the boot loader is locked before you try? All I can really do is fastboot right now

Michael Frank

@CanadianLuke Yep, I'll give it a go. Maybe sometime today. Might be tomorrow. Or, if I can convince my wife to just let me buy a new phone, it might be never. :<

@MichaelFrank I have IE 11 on Windows 7 64 bit, but I almost never run it (Firefox prefered for many years). I do have updates turned off though as I don't wish to be forcibly upgrade to Windows 10 ;)

A while back, I discovered just why pro photographers have these workstations with insane core counts...

Jan 3 at 2:26, by bwDraco

All CPU cores are running full-bore and have been maxed out for the last 30+ minutes.

There is simply no substitute for more compute.

Another batch of 30 images to go through now.

At the time, that was 154 images at 24 megapixels. About 45 minutes were needed to complete processing.

If you're a pro handling hundreds or thousands of images at a time, this is not okay.

...especially if they are from today's breed of super-high-resolution cameras (*cough* Nikon D810 *cough* Sony A7R II *cough* Canon EOS 5DS *cough*).

Journeyman Geek

@bwDraco puget systems has a article on that most likely

bwDraco

Already saw that, pugetsystems.com/photo.php

Journeyman Geek

though depending on the OS, it might end up cheaper to just let it run overnight, or to build a cluster of ludicrously cheap systems

bwDraco

RawTherapee is cross-platform, so I could do that.

Trouble is, I don't presently have the hardware to do this.

The cloud is not an option because it would take an inordinate amount of bandwidth to move data back and forth.

(I could just spin up one or more Linode 8GB instances to do this, cloned from my current cloud desktop instance, but it would take more time to set up and transfer data than to actually process the images.)

Journeyman Geek

@bwDraco I was toying with the idea of a cluster of 1st generation compute sticks. They're crappy little blighters but since reviews are terribad, I'm expecting them to get dumped cheap at some point.

bwDraco

11:01 PM

@JourneymanGeek That would need an HDMI KVM switch in order to work.

Journeyman Geek

Not really

they're USB powered

bwDraco

What, you're going to run all but one node headless?

Journeyman Geek

yuuuup

actually, most of the systems I own or rent are essentially headless

bwDraco

What I could do is upload the .DNG raw files while working on the adjustments locally, then push the .PP3 sidecar files to the cloud instance and split up the workload between the local workstation and the cloud.

Not the most efficient way to do things, though.
