@bertieb minimum answer length IIRC. You can't say yes. Its also probably not a real question, and I really wish we kept that close reason

I'm not awake yet. For a moment I thought @DragonLord and @allquixotic were argueing.

DragonLord

Dammit, was sunburnt today.

First-degree burns over about 5-6% TBSA, mostly forearms.

allquixotic

@JourneymanGeek nope, he was agreeing with me / expressing sympathy

allquixotic

weird - apparently academic stores are picking up software from this company, Digiarty, which makes spam pages like this, and offering 75% off the regular price .... either someone in the admin office loves to pirate video... or...

Journeyman Geek

hence me saying "I'm not awake yet" ;p

Folks, I just wanted to draw everyone’s attention to this question’s network diagram. The “outlet” in the upper left wins. You’re welcome! superuser.com/questions/968892/…

Journeyman Geek

._.

I wonder if that's a depiction of a french hermaphodite socket.

DragonLord

Well, the biggest limitation is that lightfastness is very poor with the EcoTank inks, except for the $1200 WF-R4640.

They're not archival inks.

DragonLord

02:14

For everyday prints, they're okay.

I'm fine paying more per page at the lower print volumes I do, though.

Bob

03:22

@allquixotic Funny thing, that. I only recently started using BT audio extensively, and it's absolutely fine on my S4 w/ 4.3.

No, I'm not planning to upgrade to 4.4 or 5.0 (if they even have that)

Might pick up a cheap 5.0/5.1 phone sometime to test.

Then again... is it a specific codec?

Because the speaker I'm using only supports SBC.

DragonLord

> For the benefit of the readers who don't understand what's going on here, I'll kill the joke here. ([Yes, I know this isn't welcome on reddit and I'm risking a ban for doing this](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DontExplainTheJoke), but bear with me.)

So your store is closing for renovations. Good luck with that; the store I went to was renovated November last year, with a major seating layout change. The bar seating was replaced with a set of small tables. Not a fan of the new arrangement, but I've gotten used to it.

reddit.com/r/starbucks/comments/3jrt90/…

Not sure what the hell I'm doing. I just openly explained a joke, which is taboo.

...**and I'm doing this knowingly**

allquixotic

03:39

@Bob never had any issues on 4.3 or earlier with Bluetooth

@Bob Not sure, but one of my headphones doesn't support apt-X (the Mee Air-Fi Matrix "1.0") and it's still broken on those

Bob

@allquixotic Is that MP3/AAC? Or SBC?

allquixotic

@Bob it might be AAC, or SBC

@DragonLord No offense, but you do that... a lot. Like, probably close to 8 or 9 times now. It makes you come off as a bit of a drama queen. When you're feeling like posting something like that in the future, just take a deep breath, sleep on it, and come back tomorrow and keep grinding. You'll probably feel better after you sleep on it. You seem to overreact to your own feelings.

Oy vey.

I knew what I was doing. I knew it was wrong. And I went ahead and explained a joke.

Anyone here able to help?

I'm losing my mind again.

allquixotic

@DragonLord do they seriously ban people for that on Reddit....?

DragonLord

Think I've been banned on /r/starbucks.

allquixotic

03:49

if it were me, I'd think it was a joke that they ban people for explaining jokes.

DragonLord

My votes are not counting.

I'll message the mods.

sigh

Bob

@allquixotic You can always test it :P

DragonLord

I'm just not making myself welcome on the communities I participate in.

Bob

All it takes is enabling BT logging and having access to a copy of Wireshark (import logs into WS)

@allquixotic Not that I know of, but each sub has their own rules.

Normally the smaller subs don't care much, either.

@DragonLord If you've been sub-banned you'd be messaged.

DragonLord

Never mind. Seems to be caching.

Bob

03:51

If you were site-wide shadowbanned, I wouldn't be able to see your comment.

You're not banned.

DragonLord

The comment has been pulled.

Bob

I think you went a bit too far, let's say. Maybe "For those who don't get it, ..."

That second sentence is a bit overdoing it.

DragonLord

Okay, I misread the joke.

Basic bitch

Basic bitch (or simply basic) is a slang term in American popular culture used to pejoratively describe people who like popular, mainstream products or music. The term originated in hip-hop culture and began to appear in rap music in 2010. It rose in popularity through songs, blogs, and videos from 2011 to 2014, when the basic bitch phenomenon was parodied by College Humor. Interpretations of the term vary and its use has been criticized for being an overly vague and a misogynistic insult. Their male counterparts are usually termed "basic bros". == History == The term "basic bitch" was coined by...

This is what the joke was supposed to mean.

I was just trying to be cocky here.

DragonLord

In all seriousness, this kind of conduct is precisely the biggest issue I'm trying to come to grips with.

I just don't get along.

I have this tendency to suddenly lose control of myself and knowingly do something grossly wrong.

Bob

03:57

oh hey I have a Y201 here

I wonder what Android version it has

allquixotic

@DragonLord except in this case it was ridiculously minor, you're probably not going to get banned, and no need to get yourself worked up over it!

To the community: I'm very sorry to say that I am leaving Stack Exchange for an indefinite period of time. I am unable to perform my usual moderation work in a controlled fashion. Unless and until I become a truly calm, cool, and collected person IRL, I cannot contribute any longer without risking harm to the community. Farewell...

This is precisely the same issue that led to the crisis on that day.

allquixotic

is there a facility in Bluedroid that captures all BT traffic?

Bob

@allquixotic You can enable BT logging

allquixotic

04:00

do you need root for that?

DragonLord

@allquixotic No, it's part of the developer settings.

Bob

Oh wait that's Bluez => android.stackexchange.com/a/85668/17771

allquixotic

whoa

Bob

@allquixotic You need root on my 4.3

allquixotic

@Bob yup, which is completely distinct

shit, Y201 is 4.0.3

DragonLord

However minor this incident may have been (the comment was deleted and I'm not banned), it's these sorts of events that show that my ability to perform moderation tasks in a calm and controlled manner is in serious doubt.

Journeyman Geek

@DragonLord: I generally tend to hang out in a community for 6-8 weeks before I get super active

allquixotic

found it. nice

Journeyman Geek

If I get banned in that time (surprisingly, its happened before), or I get bored with it, I just leave.

Its one reason I end up being a mod in quite a few places ;p

DragonLord

04:06

@JourneymanGeek: Considering how often these issues come up, do I need to be suspended from Super User?

The last time this happened was yesterday.

yesterday, by DragonLord

Should I be suspended?

I think I might need a mod message.

I've probably said this before. The day SU stops being fun and starts being a chore, I'll likely hang up my mod hat, and take a break. I'll probably stay on chat tho ;p

@DragonLord That didn't make much sense. Use the !!/help command to learn more.

allquixotic

so apparently the image linking to meme okay has been deleted from whatever image service it was hosted on

it was on alltheragefaces.com

I can do a little code patch to fix it once I figure out where else it might be hosted

Bob

@allquixotic Yea. My only reaction to that is !!meme okay, but I can't do that :(

allquixotic

04:18

@Bob how about your reaction to this post? (note: it's not by me, but it might as well be written by me, since I agree with it 100%)

*eyes iPhone 6s covetously*

I may or may not be trying to coax out a foxno, now that Cavil is working ;D

Bob

-_-

@allquixotic I'm actually looking more towards the WinPhone side. Depends how 10 pans out.

I think what I'd miss most would be my browser - and I depend a lot on it.

Would also prevent me from moving to an iPhone, which has similar restrictions.

And between Edge and Safari? I'd take Edge, every time.

Safari can go die in a fire.

Heck, I'd take IE11 and even IE10.

Also, no dependency on iTunes.

iPhone good or bad, iTunes absolutely sucks.

If it works at all, you're lucky when it doesn't randomly brick your phone.

06:21

Huh, SP-32 is now $79

SP-64 got an update

allquixotic

the Haswell E5s are out.

and much more expensive

also, DDR4

tempting, but I'm not paying $26/mo more for the same storage and a 5% faster CPU and ~25% more memory bandwidth

not unless I can make money on this server somehow

which, so far, no luck on that

Bob

OVH added a HOST- range

Cheaper, with Xeon D

@allquixotic Would cost me $10/month more, but there's no reason for me to change.

The new microarch and RAM won't affect my typical server uses that much.

allquixotic

wow, the Xeon D-1540 is Broadwell...

8 cores, but what's the catch?

@allquixotic: its a SOC

ok @allquixotic testing Android 4.4.4 now

How often do you get dropouts again?

Playing music from Spotify via a Huawei Y201 running CyanogenMod 11-20141031-UNOFFICIAL-u8666E (Android 4.4.4) with kernel 3.4.0-g546857a-dirty on a Qualcomm MSM7227A

Only problem is... with such a poor (and single-core) CPU it's hard to tell if the slight pauses so far are due to the BT issue or me trying to enable dev mode :P

allquixotic

@Bob with screen off, very often... in an hour, maybe 20

Bob

Looks like I have the BT log in dev options.

So I'm assuming this is using the correct BT stack.

Not sure how to confirm.

allquixotic

anything KitKat should be using Bluedroid, not BlueZ

Bob

@allquixotic What does it sound like?

Brief pause?

@allquixotic It's a custom CM11 build so who knows... :\

allquixotic

@Bob well, I seem to have a very rare / unique issue that almost no one else has, where even rarer than the dropouts (maybe four times over an 8-hour day) I get this LOUD, gunshot-like sound that sounds like 0 dB godawful white noise for about 300 ms

Journeyman Geek

07:55

0_0

Bob

@allquixotic Wasn't that with specific headphones?

allquixotic

the dropouts sound like what would happen if you had a desktop or (performant) laptop with a mute button on your keyboard, and you pressed the button twice, fast, like literally as fast as you can press a key twice

@Bob NOPE -- my Sennheisers do it too

and the Meelec BT 4.0s

oddly, I never got that gunshot sound with the BT 3.0 original Matrix Wireless

I think the dropouts are universal on BT 3.0+, but the gunshot sound is specific to BT 4.0

Bob

Oh wow this is awesome.

I'm controlling (and viewing the song name) on my Pebble. Connected to my S4. Connected to the Y201 via Spotify Connect. Playing on a BT speaker :D

@allquixotic I thought you said those worked :S

allquixotic

apparently, on the Exynos-based Note 5 and S6, people are having even worse BT problems, with long periods of random static

Bob

Massive chain of wireless/networked devices :D

allquixotic

07:59

@Bob it's considerably more reliable, but not perfect

the Meelecs and Sennheisers are identical in behavior though
