...and by my own foolishness, managed to short VBUS to data on one of the ports on my PowerCore 20100 power bank. PowerIQ no longer works on that port, the control chip connected to the data pins have failed open so devices charge slow on that port :(
...well, something I noticed on my two newer PowerCores: They have improved protection circuitry. At the time, I managed to do the same thing with my newer PowerCore 13000 and when VBUS got shorted to data, the unit actually hard-reset itself (the four LEDs lit up in sequence). That same unit also does that if it's shorted when nearly depleted (presumably because the internal voltage sees a sudden drop below the critical protection point and the unit resets itself).
The one I most recently got, a PowerCore 10000, will do the same thing when nearly depleted and the power pins (not data) are shorted: the power LEDs light up in sequence, indicating a hard reset.
On the PowerCore 20100, if I do the same thing, the unit completely stops working (it will not light up at all even if I press the power button) until I plug it in.
I would want to suspect that newer units will have the improved protection circuitry. AIUI the 20100 unit I have is an original production model.

A: What is the name of these little plastic things that protect wires from being cut into by the sharp edges of a drilled hole?

TransistorThat's a grommet, not to be confused with Gromit. Gromit, of Wallace and Gromit fame.

 
@JourneymanGeek lmao, no. I'm only sharing this picture because it hides my face.
Also, it's a really nice picture

hopefully it's just because of the cold and they'll recover come spring, but I dunno :/
@JourneymanGeek This from netmon, or whatyever it's called?

k, so even with the painkillers getting rid of the constant throb, it's still senstive to cold (cheese in this case! D:)

Sunset Overdrive seems pretty fun

People's line of thinking is, "we live in a mobile world and x86 is not well suited for mobile". But what's stopping Intel or AMD from implementing ultra-low-power features that enable stuff like continuous Internet connectivity with 48h+ standby battery life? I don't think this is an architectural limitation...

Astaroth has a K95 RGB Platinum. I kinda don't like how large it is and it's expensive, but it's a fantastic keyboard nonetheless.

@bwDraco now that is the kind of thing i expect from next gen A/V's that you talk of @bwDraco
and the only one I can conceivably imagine doing it? Microsoft, via bing.

I'm using the command
ffmpeg -ss 00:00:05.00 -i file.avi -vframes 1 $filename%03d.png
to extract a frame from a video, but for some reason it outputs a horizontally squashed image. It displays properly when using ffplay or VLC. Anyone know why this might be?
 
What does it say for the input and output?
(generally, ffmpeg questions should include complete uncut output but that's better in a pastebin than straight into chat)

Oh yea... Forget I'm a mod on all the chat sites too

Don't need to be a mod.

10:09 PM
Turns out @CanadianLuke is way better than me at this
anyone else up for a game?
 
10:21 PM
SOooooooo I have a project in mind \o/.
However raspi or ardunio is a decision to be made
 
10:41 PM
@djsmiley2k If it's just I/O and can be programmed with C++, use arduino. If it needs internet access, cameras or linux, use RasPi
 
It'll need internets
lol
 
RasPi is the way to go, then
 
hmmmm
 
@djsmiley2k Fair point
Still learning tho
So I dunno
Might rename after #10
 
Is it dying light, one of the games you play?
I can't remember :D
 
10:57 PM

But uh, got a bit enraging :P
