Anyone had any experience with these?
Is the concept DIY?
oh jeez.... $99USD?

@MichaelFrank screwit
I just use YUMI
And something like PLoP if I'm using something that old
@MichaelFrank: I think someone on RA the comms room had something like that
found it VERY useful
@JourneymanGeek what a rubber bone?
jumps in without context
anyone have a way to get me into exetools?

I need that code!
what are you hiding, Kurapica? the answer to life, the universe, and everything?
You want a WoW bot?
No
> the idea is that you can have 'any' native DLL into your resources then
you can load it in memory and map it !
i have the original release that was publicly available but i want the improvements there because the original crashes :X
02:29
Ahhh I see.
@Braiam: a USB drive that acts as a cd rom drive loading an arbitrary ISO.
@JourneymanGeek Yea it seems pretty useful. But I'd rather just carry around a bunch of USBs at that price. :P
 
2 hours later…
04:13
@MichaelFrank Just get Windows 8--it'll mount ISOs directly without any special software
... and almost all Linux distros can mount ISOs directly using a loop device
Given that, I can't see the point of such a device.
04:51
@DragonLord besides from launching a different OS at boot?
@DragonLord: Its useful for when you need to install an OS on bare metal, and the OS dosen't have a USB boot option or you have a device that'll boot off a USB CD drive but not a USB drive
Anonymous
@JourneymanGeek i've got news from the Pato-is-fixing-that-phone department!
@JourneymanGeek That's quite unusual for modern hardware. I can see the point now, but it caters to an awfully small group of users
@PatoSáinz: is it fixed?
Anonymous
@JourneymanGeek no, i damaged it further
04:53
@DragonLord some OSes can be extremely resistant to being booted from USB, so you'd either have to own an ISOstick, or burn a coaster, in which case you'd probably need an external DVD drive since so few things have internal optical drives anymore
@JourneymanGeek Or just any device that can boot from USB-CDROM.
@DragonLord: probably why its so expensive
@PatoSáinz: wasn't it already in a boot loop?

the heat gun unsoldered little components

You did shield the rest of it, right?

@allquixotic It does, which was why I was interested. But at $99USD it's a bit far out of my price range.
and remove... oh wait, no.

i shielded it

with tin foil
@MichaelFrank it's within my price range but low priority
problem is, the times when i'd need an isostick, i need it NOW
or 2 hours ago

04:55
> first of all try a software repairs, cause i see a lot of people have similar problem after playing around with different roms

what i did, just disassemble the phone, take out that big flex cable. disconnect all cameras and flex cables you can (unless you want a blurry camera)
on a back of flex there is metal slab covering chip, took it out. after that i heat chip area for minute or so with my soldering heating gun, wait until it cools and install in the phone, after doing this operations it started working.
also, i have an external bluray drive. it's enormous
and heavy and has an external power adapter
but it bloody works
also, is it just me, or does the isostick website basically copy fedoraproject.org
Your opinion: Is this comment flamebait?
Anonymous
@JourneymanGeek i'm just going to order another flex cable and board

and hire someone with skills to do it
@DragonLord did you write that comment?

it's clearly flamebait
part 1: post extremely polarizing political viewpoint

I mean, I doubt the 20 people in central Africa with internet access who don't speak a lick of English or even any languages spoken by more than 1,000 people have a "meme culture" either, but...
basically, if you can at least read English, and have internet access, you're part of that "anglosaxon culture" you mentioned

@allquixotic what mp3 quality does it download to?
Anonymous
05:14
320kbps?
Anonymous
> b, b... but I need someone to stream muh FLACs
@PatoSáinz currently i think the default is 160 kbps ogg/vorbis (encrypted) fetched from spotify, then decoded to [email protected] PCM by libspotify, then encoded via LAME with quality=1 (CPU-intensive, but very good results) at 192 Kbps... but I'm making both settings configurable
spotify can stream at 96 Kbps, 160 Kbps or 320 Kbps, and then I can let the user select which spotify quality to fetch, and which LAME bitrate to encode into
won't be hard at all to add, just haven't had a chance... spent this evening preparing the project for the initial commit

Anonymous
i've seen cross-tests between opus and mp3@320 and opus just wins in /g/
i think opus will do better than vorbis for PSNR, but AAC is still the best for psychoacoustics imo...
might see a codec quality (best quality per bitrate) spectrum emerge of vorbis < mp3 < opus < aac
Anonymous
yea?
Anonymous
is it as lightweight as opus?
05:18
vorbis is pretty bad overall
@PatoSáinz: anyone who wants to stream flac is not particularly smart ;p
there are a LOT of downsides to AAC, but purely on psychoacoustics I think it's better for music listening
the sort of setup that you can start to tell the difference between flac and mp3 would have you sitting down at a nice setup, and its a very small difference.
AAC is patent encumbered; the FOSS implementations of AAC are not as robust and featureful as the proprietary codecs; and certain early implementations of AAC had laughably terrible (audible!) artifacts
but the current AAC stuff (see: iTunes) is quite good
Anonymous
so AAC is just placebo
Anonymous
05:20
@JourneymanGeek b... but my vinyls
AAC 128 kbps is psychoacoustically equivalent to lossless, IIRC.

mp3 128kbps usually isn't, with good headphones
you carry your vinyls and tubeamps with you? ;p

@JourneymanGeek why'd you say that

it's like the sound engineer that made those headphones hated ears and wanted to see them die

so, in some cases, a high impedance headphone can sound better

@JourneymanGeek sensitivity?
i never knew you were allowed to drive with headphones on anyway
but they need an amplifier

@JourneymanGeek sensitivity?
nothing too powerful, the chip inside @allquixotic's headphones, or a cheap 45 dollar chinese amp can power it
05:35
@JourneymanGeek The super-high-end headphones, like the Sennheiser HD 800, tend to have high impedance--and it's a necessary compromise to achieve the best possible fidelity
Headphones (or "head-phones" in the early days of telephony and radio) are a pair of small loudspeakers that are designed to be held in place close to a user's ears. They are also known as earspeakers, earphones or, colloquially, cans. The alternate in-ear versions are known as earbuds or earphones. In the context of telecommunication, a headset is a combination of headphone and microphone. Headphones either have wires for connection to a signal source such as an audio amplifier, radio, CD player, portable media player, mobile phone, electronic musical instrument, or have a wireless devi...
