or give it to somebody who can
no backstories
that i know
i dont know if they had a dog too
well if it is dirty, or had liquids, or stains , it might be cleaned using alcohol. as a first step.
well iwll keep that in mind
for future reference
Then you want to remove it from "the case" prop it up on cardboard (insulated) check the bottom and top. then re-do the cpu, use one stick of ram at a time, in one slot at a time. and your checking the KB very smart, because if it is working somewhat, including the cpu, them KB locks and lights will work, even if the video is not yet visable.
Any mod or high-rep can tell me if this question is "shopping recommendation" or if it fits ontopic for SU? And in the latter, how to help the OP on improving the question? superuser.com/questions/640330/…
@Psycogeek copy
19:08
@DEFCON1 Having a spare PSU would be helpfull, so you could swap in known working. Intel CPU so chances are it is not toast, if it was when you re-do it , you could see burning. But cpu could have connection or heating/heatsync issue. Ram slots can be checked for the connection points to be aligned the same visually.
@ThatBrazilianGuy looks on-topic for the IT Shopping site that's still in the Definition phase on Area51, but other than that, probably off-topic for SU :(
@Psycogeek so u suggets i take the smps and put it in another machineand check ?
@DEFCON1 Oh if you can, that would be good.
is there any way i will tost the other system with this psu
@somequixotic I pointed meta.superuser.com/questions/5372/… to the OP but he says his question is already as Meta suggests. I think it is not, because the core of the question is "I'd like to know if there's a photo organizer that can run in a server", and not a problem per se. Am I correct?
19:14
@somequixotic wat? 4 modules, each 32GB and all for 180$? wat? Maybe you meant 1 module of 32GB was 180$?
@DEFCON1 Then the chipset cooler thing, the copper colored alum beast thing , that likely has a very poor thermal interface materials under it. And it can be very hard to remove. On the chipset, it should not cause a total lockup like that. but I alwasy re-did the stuff under them.
@DEFCON1 Yes there is a way it could damage another system :-( it would be very rare. if you had a voltmeter you could check because it is turning on.
what should be the volts in each pin
@Boris_yo I purchased this for $199.00 USD (plus shipping) in late April, 2012.
@DEFCON1 Just look for some +5V, and +12V , the red lines got +5 on them, the yellow hard drive connectors have both 12 and 5.
I even have a verified review on that page
19:18
@somequixotic Your original message said 4x32
i will
sure
@OliverSalzburg I totally meant 4 x 8, lol
@somequixotic I don't like Komputerbay solely on bad reviews I read on Amazon... How are modules working so far? Do we have 32GB modules available today?
@Boris_yo don't know about 32 GB modules, as I just wrote, they are 8 GB modules, but you guys were talking about 8 GB modules earlier and how expensive they are, that's why I said I got mine for cheap
@OliverSalzburg That's what I thought is deal of the decade at first...
19:20
@Boris_yo they have been working 100% fine, no problems since April 2012, every day in my desktop
@somequixotic Only 1 year is not enough to make conclusions. Let's give it 5 years.
@Boris_yo I don't keep a computer for 5 years, ever... and besides, RAM isn't the kind of thing that partially works; either it's stable or it's not
@Psycogeek thanks for your time buddy
@DEFCON1 oops, the yellow is usually the 12V, and hard drive connectors have both 12 and 5. Whatever you will know. That is all i got.
19:24
@OliverSalzburg Ever played sweepstakes online to win any prize? Do you join contests on Facebook which reward you with prizes under condition you "spread the word"?
i wll look for it
@Boris_yo No, we talked about that before ;D
let u know when i figure it out @Psycogeek
bye
@DEFCON1 And if you do have a Voltmeter, and you suspect the PSU, switch the voltmeter to AC also and check the same lines. If there is a noise on the "DC" output it will "show" when you use the AC setting on the meter. how bad will be how much it reads, and there are no fact numbers i can provide.
@OliverSalzburg wat? When? Do you keep track of SU history? Maybe you print it out, hang on refrigerator as well?
19:26
lol, @slhck makes so many edits on questions, and answers, that when i look at the main page i think "slhck asked a question??????" and then realize that he was just editing it...
@Boris_yo I just remember ranting about it
I never forget a good rant
@OliverSalzburg The things people do for free videocard... I call that spamming by being manipulated by someone who exploits human psychology. It's like asked to kill by someone for free stuff.
"Well, someone has to win?!?!?!?!"
@OliverSalzburg they get a lot of useful data to mine and sell to spammers as a result ;)
it's probably very profitable for them to sell the email addresses in exchange for mid-grade video cards and gaming PCs
@OliverSalzburg Yeah... someone. Still better chance than winning lottery? By the way, do you think Kerry is legit and really pays out reward? I am not sure...
19:31
@Boris_yo Which Kerry?
@somequixotic Roughly 1,300 edits to go and I'll finally surpass Gareth.
(Who cheated anyway because he batch-edited tags :P)
@somequixotic Who sells? Users or promoting brands? Because users just giveaway emails.
@OliverSalzburg hehe sorry. I meant lottery!
@slhck pfft... you're a machine! :P
@slhck Let's just destroy his account and get it over with!
I have to get emotionally invested in a question before I bother to answer or edit it
4
19:34
@slhck There has to be something that motivates you go to such lengths...
NO STARS
@somequixotic You love dramas and melodramas?
I know what you guys are going to do >_< you're going to wait until much later then star it
@Boris_yo I don't know… I kinda like helping people, is all
a question has to unfold like a dramatic play for me to answer
19:36
@slhck You should be the next Warren Buffett and help world then.
querant: "I'm reaching out my hand, for you~ Help me Obi-Quixotic, you're my only hope!"
BAM! I just smacked a fucking mosquito in mid-air. That bastard has been sucking my blood for at least two weeks
What a relief
The weird thing is, I've been getting so accustomed to using the Stack Exchange markdown editor I miss most of its shortcuts in others.
Finally, justice
@OliverSalzburg lol. if it's been that long, its eggs are probably hatched by now and squirming around getting ready to fly
19:37
@OliverSalzburg That gets me thinking of Twilight for weird reason...
@OliverSalzburg Congrats :P
only females feed on blood
so you might better call it a b---- instead of a bast---
@somequixotic I don't think it's actually a mosquito, but I don't know the correct word and I figured it was close enough
StackEdit is an awesome online markdown editor by the way.
@somequixotic What males feed on?
19:38
@Boris_yo dead organic material. skin cells, carcasses, etc
@somequixotic By sucking all this garbage through it's tiny tube?
@slhck Neat
Alex Miller on September 03, 2013

Welcome to Stack Exchange Podcast #52 with your hosts Joel Spolsky, David Fullerton and Jay Hanlon. Today’s show is brought to you by Marmite Yeast Extract – you either love it, or hate it! (You probably hate it.) Joining us today are Careers 2.0 Marketing Coordinator Bethany Marzipan, er, Marzewski and Careers 2.0 Product Manager Will Cole.

Site Milestones: Space continues to be all around us, everywhere. It’s also a Stack Exchange site, but we’ve talked about it already. …

@OliverSalzburg Just shows how much I could have done better with mine :P
@slhck At first I thought, wait, isn't that your own project... ;D
19:40
Hah, if only!
@Blogbot Does anyone still read feeds that Blog bot posts?
a room owner can always remove it if no one finds it useful
@Boris_yo I've never listened to the podcast
I did, once, but it wasn't too exciting
@somequixotic And who is owner of ROOT Access?
@slhck It would be exciting if they paid you for it.
19:46
somequixotic
Bob
Journeyman Geek
KronoS
Ivo Flipse
Marc Gravell
Those are the room owners, apparently. But I guess all mods and SE employees can do the same stuff as room owners.
@Boris_yo Pay me for listening to podcasts? I like the idea.
@slhck How come you don't share ownage?
ownership :P
ownage is what you do with n00bs
ooops... I think I just called myself n0ob
But no idea, actually. Some room owners seem to have been added manually.
Plus it depends on the number of messages you post, I guess.
@slhck Sathya added me, and one other mod added Bob recently, I don't recall who
19:49
@slhck Spamming all the way until I get my share of ownership!
it's based on, I don't know, prestige?
jokerdino added Bob
Ah, so room owners adding room owners?
@somequixotic By the way you liked movie Prestige with Bale and Jackman?
It's like the peer review system in academia. You only get in if you're peer reviewed, but who reviewed the reviewers in the first place?
@slhck Principle of reviewers?
19:52
@slhck well... you already know a lot of vetting goes into becoming a moderator
and the first room owners were by default, SU mods
so non-mods became room owners only because a mod granted it
Yeah, I wasn't being totally serious here
20:26
I think that guy I posted about earlier is stalking me... he added me on Facebook now :/
out of everyone here and people who are active, I wonder why he tried to ask me!
@WilliamHilsum o_O who?
too old to get last message up...
some guy who was banned, he added me on skype asking if I can unblock his account
wow, that's pretty desperate; you are neither a room owner nor a mod :D
I said I can't and I am not a mod... and also I don't spend a lot of time here any more... he wouldn't take no for an answer so I had to block him
he gave me his password and more without asking :/
then he added me on Facebook after I blocked him on Skype
@WilliamHilsum its the fbi guy he runs around testing people like a review audit :-)
20:30
hehe... well, an audit consists of giving me passwords and asking me to do stuff I have no power to do!?
anyway... Sup? What have I been missing?
@WilliamHilsum just me blabbering mostly
well, others too, but I say nonsense more than most ;p
i know you're a gamer but i don't know how into this type of game you are, but i've been really into this
and saints row iv, which is like, the total opposite
Games :-) hey is it only me, or does even the best "point to click" type of game, feel like some sucker nailed my feet to the floor?
@somequixotic LOVE all games... especially space/scifi stuff... but, I never have the time any more :( If I had the time, I would be here more!
@somequixotic hmm... got hate+ in a bundle...
After given total freedom of movement in FPS and RPG type games, that even with premium 3D rendering, and 360* rotation, it is still highly restricted movements.
hmm... well... you treat it different!
20:39
@WilliamHilsum really? cool
why so busy? the PC business picking up?
like, go back a few years... graphics/games in general on my PSP look AWESOME (With some exceptions)... Nintendo DS or advance (can't remember era exactly) looked rubbish in comparison, but, I had just as much fun playing a flat 2d game done well on my Nintendo as I did a full 3D good looking game on the PSP
@somequixotic can't remember if you were here... work got BIG investment and it is all go go go! non stop :(
I mean I'll be working 48 hour weeks for the next 3 weeks (required; plus whatever overtime on top of that I want to add) and I still find time to chat here throughout the day :P
I would if I could, but, I know I'll get no work done!
I think I get nervous in busy interpersonal relationships with coworkers etc like working out issues etc, and I use this as an outlet to try and dump drive waste (a reference to certain sci-fi properties where ships have to fly around a star to accumulate new energy and dump waste)
@WilliamHilsum I always got frustrated with "platformers" , i want to jump Back there :-) then they are always killing me too, I dont deserve to die ... that many times in a row.
20:43
I still exceed bosses' expectations but I'm sure I could get more work done if I never came here - but then I'd also get emotionally frazzled and end up being burnt out and less productive
@somequixotic Like me! :P
also I work better in the evenings, when nobody is in the office, because even voices of other people not directed at me make me nervous and impede my thought patterns
I swear my best work, the things that really set me apart from the rest, I've done after 6:30pm and the only one in the office
I merely get by while others are standing around all in my face in our cramped quarters
things are so crowded in here with our new office that a guy talking to my next door neighbor is practically sitting in my lap
I fully agree, I used to get in at 10/11 and work until 7-8 and as you say, most of the best work happens when people have gone home...
but, now I have to be in at 9 (or earlier) and I pretty much end up staying late because I need to get stuff done... just get tired out :(
it doesn't help that I'm supporting three newish employees (within the past 6 months) and they always have tons of questions, and they come to me instead of our team lead, because our team lead has a bad non-native accent (his primary language is Telugu or Hindi I think) and the newbies are native English speakers like me
I'm basically acting as a team lead / first level manager for these people and I still get paid as a junior employee
@somequixotic If they have not yet realised your potential as team leader, mabey you have to blow your own trumpet?
20:51
@somequixotic I suppose working from home would skyrocket your productivity.
Sing your own praises, drop hints on the bosses desk, Tell the juniors to recommend you , as a Sig line ending all training sessions .
""What best I can do to make sure I am in a position that minimized my risk of layoff? "" •Try not to be a middle manager, as these are often the first to go
@ThatBrazilianGuy that is a tough crowd over there. ""Questions seeking advice on what job to take, what skills to learn, etc. are off-topic. . . "" , "". . .but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions"" and after all nobody would be seeking opinions or job advice at a location like that :-)
21:06
@Psycogeek The more you use SE the more you notice it tends to unwelcome a lot of questions. I have a perfectly sensible question, at least in my opinion, and I can't ask it anywhere on the entire SE network.
Maybe I'll have to ask it on a... FORUM! shudders
@ThatBrazilianGuy Oh the horrors :-)
@Psycogeek Or a... god forbid me... social network thing
@ThatBrazilianGuy Just put a You_tube up asking the question, if anyone sees it there will be comments. even if there still wont be any answers :-)
@Psycogeek He better disable comments to deflect trolls. Also not everyone is ready to show himself to the world.
21:18
@ThatBrazilianGuy Hey thats an improvement
@WilliamHilsum Hey man! How's life? Long time no see...
@Boris_yo Do the "shadow knows" thing, that'll fix it. Put a mozaic blur over the video, so people think it is crucial secret conspiracy info.
@Psycogeek Ohohoho! That's in my style.
toss snowden in the title somewhere.
@ThatBrazilianGuy That's the stuff that protects you from negative emotions?
@Psycogeek Down next to my apartment is a car that makes burst of alert sounds for no reason. Happens often and gets on my nerves. I was thinking if going to the roof, preparing Molotov cocktail and doing it on car. That's my fantasy for now. Did I mention that I also despise car owner due to his habit for testing engine in the middle of the night?
21:29
@Boris_yo as in alarm?
@Psycogeek That Alarm that gets activated after driver locks his car.
@Boris_yo just the chirping? around here it is the one that the alarm goes off everytime a motorcycle or a big truck goes by. When an alarm goes off too often, eventually the people would prefer it gets stolen :-)
@Psycogeek I don't know if chirping is the right way to describe these beeps but I would like that car to be stolen at least. Burned at best with Molotov cocktail by my right hand servant that I don't have. And that car seems to make these sounds after driver lock door, not when cars, bikes pass near.
@Boris_yo that sounds like a tiny problem. How is the alarm user supposed to know it is "armed" , most of the systems give an audible confirmation.
22:19
@Psycogeek There's also crazy woman who puts her stereo system on balcony, turns volume highest throughout the day.
@Psycogeek Understood but alarm keeps beeping an being for longer than needed which seemed unusual for alarm.
Remember how the original computers were massive sized, took up a whole wall, and could do a few math problems. Now today they have Walls of servers. Somehow in the future a wall of servers would be replaced by one tiny computer that does it all just as well, and all this stuff will become obsolete once again. So how would i get ones of those now :-)
@Psycogeek Did I mention there are also 2 dogs baking constantly right in front of a my balcony? Dog owner just keeps dogs on balcony and doesn't care about noise did make.
@Psycogeek Technological evolution to nano?
@Boris_yo Do you live in urban or sub-urban. or whatever better description of the concentration of people in one block would be?
@Boris_yo server wall shrink ray, but we could not be sure that it would also reduce the wieght while decreasing the mass . one small computer weighing in at 2tons might not be an improvement
@Psycogeek Not sure if coincidence, but some guy just randomly scratched car of that owner I dreaded. Owner told that guy to pay $690 for his authentic branded hood. I don't know if I should be happy because car owner would not stop doing what I hate. Besides, poor the other guy but scratching private property of others will be his lesson.
@Boris_yo do they have garages around there ?
22:30
@Psycogeek Haha...
like on or around the houses
@Psycogeek Sadly no. Not in my neighborhood. I know what garages you're taking about; those private property garages hike owners have where they can keep tools and have good workplace...
@Boris_yo yes one of those. They put in some of the "afforable housing" apartments in around this city, not only do all the people have to park in the street, but I would not call $2000 a month an affordable apartment :-)
@Psycogeek I think it's urban. Everything is crammed together where only 1 sports court could be found within 1mile in radius.
They just developed for one thing $$$, Cram as many paying people into one place, and provide nothing to make it livable. Get it "classed" by the goverment as affordable.
22:35
@Psycogeek Uh $2000 for a flat in affordable apartment?
@Boris_yo probably the 2-3 bedroom type, a Single hole for 1 person type would be about $1500
@Psycogeek Pure exploitation, isn't it? And why government put "affordable" tag on it? Better put "you get what you pay for maybe"?
@Psycogeek I don't know but isn't that a lot? I don't know what's the average income there.
And dont be fooled by the pictures, it might look all regal, but as you can imagine the slots for humans are smaller than a mobile home.
@Psycogeek 1 bed,1 bath and 1227$? Where's kitchen? Where's bathroom? Where's salon for guests?
@Boris_yo the "average" income is very high, because of the nuke lab, but somebody still has to do the work :-) like flipping burgers, working at walmart, and fixing the landscaping and all. So there are lots of people on "normal" income levels.
22:41
@Psycogeek I was bedazzled by pictures, they looked better than my apartment. My apartment has existed since before Israel was announced as independent country. Maybe 100 years or so?
@Psycogeek Nuke lab? What do you mean? It's it something that influences majorly average salary?
@Psycogeek All apartments look nice on that website. Is it too good to be true?
@Boris_yo goverment scientists. You know livermore labs , it is the most predominate lab in the whole world :-) well close enough, they invented many of the crasy stuff that changed the world. Including blow it up gassing it, making it sick, controlling it, and all that other good stuff that a military based lab would do.
@Boris_yo If i go take pictures of the same thing with my camera, you would say it is not the same place :-)
@Psycogeek You will? Great! I will non patiently await your shots!
@Boris_yo I could, but i have no reason to.
@Psycogeek ;) I was joking. But if I were to live in California on the other hand...
Unless . . . I could get paid, which i suppose i could arrange something to make a video about livermore. But then i would clean up everything, and make it all studio perfect before shooting it, and then airbrush it.
22:51
@Psycogeek I would be now more than ever afraid to live in America not only because blacks, Latinos, gangs but also because uncontrollable police officers that randomly taze citizens.
Make sure everyone smiles, and even try to get the humans to come outside of thier homes, to make it look like they enjoy the place. Mabey put them on recreational items like bikes and skateboards , so they look like they know what outdoors is even.
@Psycogeek I would need not Photoshopped images in order to sell me better realty but to see "cold hard truth" photos.
@Psycogeek That would look too good to be true.
@Boris_yo Ahh the police dont randomly taze people. it just when any oppertunity comes up to use all the cool guns and handcuffs, and semi-lethal weapons and all, you have to move fast, or the oppertunity is over.
@moses Welcome to Root Access chat for Super Users! Please don't ask if you can ask or if anyone's around; just ask your question, and if anyone's free and interested they'll help.
@Psycogeek Questioning your morals: if you were told to take pictures, video of poor realty and make it look too good to be true, would you take the job?
@Psycogeek Then why taze to death? Heard the story about tazed to death Latino? And cops laughed and d made fun after killing human.
22:58
@Boris_yo That is my job, Everything i put on video, i try to make it look good, if i can. Ugly brides lose 20 pounds, and get a nice tan, thier groom getting drunk is edited out. memories that will last a lifetime.
@Boris_yo Well you never know what you can do with a new gadget , unless you tests it on some deserving individual.
@Psycogeek You seem optimistic person. You turn conspiracy theories the other way around, find justification to conflicts...
@Psycogeek Image and video editing company you work in? Remember "Red Dragon" Hannibal Lecter played by Anthony Hopkins?
@Boris_yo The glass is half full, and the glass is half empty.
@Psycogeek ...is a proof of your scepticism?
@Boris_yo neither nor, i can be as pestimistic as optomistic, just depends on the moment , there are ramifications and other sides to every story.
Speaking of that youtube.com/watch?v=WDBZr4ie2AE here is a horrific video. It can be seen, or edited 2 ways, observed from 2 completly different perspectives.
@Psycogeek Oh shit, that's disturbing. Don't tell me video is fake.
23:13
On one side you have the police (quite obviously) dealing with a very important situation, (look at all the cars). all the normal citizens are staying at a logical proper distance from the scene. A shooting could break out at any moment (for all they know). This clown drives up into the scene , with his music playing 100% illlegally loud, parks his car, doesnt even turn off the stereo. Then proceeds to think he is the news with his cell phone.
@Psycogeek He cold ruin police person with loud music, yeah? And why the heck shooting video until you get on police nerves?
@Psycogeek Video has almost close ratio of supporters and opponents. What I don't understand why he turned around and let police cuff him. Was he warned or something? And why police used legal weapon? They had time to think around the situation before dog unleashed you know... There's proper spray and tazer you know...
@Boris_yo and you can see all the other major errors that he made. Putting a dog in a Hot Black car, leaving the windows where the dog could get out. Everyone with a dog knows that you gotta roll up the windows enough , or your dog will get out as soon as you get far enough away from the car.
@Psycogeek What do you mean by "Hot Black car"?
@Boris_yo On the other hand, as a citizen in this country, he has every right in the world to video tape anything in public, and certannly has the right to monitor what the police "servants of the people" are doing. He is on public property and is not causing a nuisance. (unless you include the music)
Dog dead because of stupidity of owner and police.
23:24
He would be allowed to walk right up to the police in this situation without any legal ramifications, UNTIL he was told to back off from the area, or given instruction by the police, which he would have to follow.
@Boris_yo It is california ? cars get to 140*F easily in many of the summer days. a dog gets its brain fried in hot cars. so at certian temperatures you cannot leave your dog in a car at all.
@Boris_yo Yup both wrong, both making misteaks, the guy really making way more "common sence" errors, and nobody legally will be liable (that i know of).
@Psycogeek I am not used to Fahrenheit but Celsius. After conversion it's 60 Celsius which is frying. You're familiar with stories when parents forget their children in car and leave them frying for the day until death?
@Psycogeek His mistakes were: having loud sound thwarting situation, walking around crime scene with dog, keep filming after being warned. 3 common sense mistakes?
@Boris_yo yes also familliar with people overly panicing about the same situations, be it dogs or kids. I have been unduely herassed by people for my own dog in my ar, because they do not know it is fully insulated, and the effect of the reflection i use on it.
@Psycogeek Insulated meaning no way out for dog? What's with reflection? It's it to reflect Sun rays? They panicked about dog dying in car or getting out of car and attacking them?
@Boris_yo Legally he could keep filming, and would not be a bother if he had moved back. Geez get a Zoom dude :-) Phones are not cameras, they are great for spur of the moment, but if you want the shot, you gotta have a zoom.
@Boris_yo They thought my dog was to hot in the car. It is a "work van" and it has insulation on the walls, unlike any other (my custom job) and reflecting the sun out on all windows. Plus it is white, and kept shiney
@Psycogeek Why would everybody film same scene and collectively upload it to YouTube? Doesn't YouTube hate duplicate videos? Why clogg YouTube? Like one person is not enough to upload video for public to see?
@Psycogeek With insulated car and Sun reflectors, what is the temperature in car? Does it represent risk for animals and humans?
23:39
@Boris_yo It would get tossed from YouTube, and everyone wants thier channel to get hits, which can bring them some minor money. So they will steal others videos regularly. that is what "viral" means :-)
@Psycogeek But sooner or later YouTube finds duplicate video.
@Boris_yo Well this person I had a big argument with thought it was a risk, but temps in that situation would never have gone about 90*F in that car at that time, probably stayed <85*F
@Boris_yo only if reported. youtube itself dose not do a lot of self mainatance. Request from copyright holders and complaints from users.
@Psycogeek But it compares your newly to be housed video against already existing CRC of videos to find duplicates. Also try uploading personal private video but with copyrighted soundtrack. It won't let you.
@Boris_yo i doubt it, the videos are compressed to death, once stolen from you-tube then re-upped it is a 2nd or 3rd generation digital copy. starts to look like crap, and is not the same data.
@Boris_yo copyrighted soundtracks can use the "sounds like" alogrythm like what is used to find a song you heard. But i dont know much about that. I thought they were removed after a complaint.
