If you have any old ones, just snip off the fan and wire that up

@Bob Ah, it's new. Released after I wasted tons of money on these bulbs and swore never to spend another penny on lights again

or these amazon.com/HDE-4-Pin-Molex-Replacement-Computer/dp/B0081K3ZS0

@JourneymanGeek Hah, i've got the opposite problem with my wall warts. I have 12v DC barrel connectors and no easy way to wire them to 3-pin PC fans

lol

Funny thing was?

I was considering that

@qasdfdsaq lol. I never got the appeal of multicoloured lights myself

temp changes make sense though

@Bob my parents prefer cool white

I have one warm white bulb in the whole apartment I think

I never got the appeal of LEDs in general

@Bob Great for student house parties.

@jiggunjer cheap, efficient, low power, bright....

@JourneymanGeek And above all, sexy

@jiggunjer Less dangerous than CFLs if you smash em? :P

Woof

Apart from that, they win over CFLs if you switch if off and on a lot. e.g. an outdoor light.

@Bob Tru dat. I smashed a Philips hue bulb on day 2. Still works, sorta.

I mean messing around with them as a hobby. Not as a light source in general

@jiggunjer what do you prefer?

I prefer messing around with members of the opposite sex as a hobby. I said no such thing.

case mods, maybe messing with motorized stuff.

and now soldering :p

But 80% of case modding is LEDs

The other 20% is making windows so you can see the LEDs.

@qasdfdsaq Then there's that one person that casemods a beaver...

instructables.com/id/…

meh, just reminds me of my dad messing with the christmas tree

@MichaelFrank WTF why is it red

@qasdfdsaq Oh, I think they lined it with felt.

s/felt/blood/

I was gonna say ask your parents :p

!! s/with felt/with blood/

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

@bwDraco TypeError: undefined is not a function (evaluating 'Number.isFinite(value)')

sigh

> I needed a machine that would run CAD, so went with a fast processor (Core 2 Duo) and 1G of RAM.

Dang that's an old beaver.

Saying it without the bot is very much intentional, and I'd do so even if the bot's replace worked.

Less clutter, and easier to understand that it's a joke (rather than a correction).

@Bob I'd actually use the bot in all cases when this comes up.

I know it may be disruptive, but so be it.

facepalm

Then you use it. It's a stylistic choice on my part. Don't need to try to translate what others say.

I'm losing my temper AGAIN!

@MichaelFrank Oh wow, it's a woman who did the beaver

@bwDraco dude... it's still visible to anyone with a monitor... No need to quote it.

AAAAARGH!

Eh. I don't have a problem with you using it for your own messages.

A lady who's handy with power tools and of her own accord decides to case mod a beaver into a PC. That's marriage material right there.

But I'd prefer if you didn't repeat my message purely to pipe it through the bot... considering I'm perfectly capable of doing so myself if necessary.

The stress must be getting to me.

@qasdfdsaq Yea, until that point when your beloved cat passes away and it suddenly turns into a household appliance! D:

sigh

@qasdfdsaq I dunno... does it smell? :P

*pant pant*

@Bob: Any ideas on how to get this under control?

@Bob As long as she keeps her beaver clean and hygienic? o_0

@MichaelFrank I don't think I'd have a problem with that.

@bwDraco I don't think it's a problem, honestly. There was nothing wrong with your original response.

But you tend to think worse of your own actions than they really are, and then things start escalating.

You missed this, but this happened a while back.

@bwDraco That was also a joke.

The hate you forever part anyway.

...and knowing full well this could get me suspended from chat.

@bwDraco Relax. You're taking chat a bit too seriously.

@qasdfdsaq Just gotta wash it now and then. Might be a good idea to take it to a taxidermist to get it properly preserved first. Wait, what were we talking about again? :P

@bwDraco That part wasn't really a joke :P

@Bob A lady keeping her hollow beaver from smelling?

@PatoSáinz Awesome! But wtf is up with that monitor? D:

Looks like the inside was lined with red fibreglass?

headdesk headdesk headdesk

I'm out of here. I can't keep myself under control.

And spandex?

o_0

Though that was along the vein of me trying to explain why I just post gifv links rather than gif oneboxing.

Really old monitor

> I originally wanted to place LEDs in the eyes, but decided not to mess with the facial structure because it was done so well to begin with. If you're up for experimenting with something like that, great, otherwise, drill holes wherever you'd like LEDs placed. I put three holes above the DVD drive. One for power, one for the hard drive **and one that just blinks nonstop, because, hey, it's a computer in a beaver. **

@JourneymanGeek See chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/27926343#27926343. I'm purposely posting disruptive content in direct contravention of instructions.

And?

I might need another mod message.

This happened several times today.

Its a polite request from another use. Official mod word from above "Please don't be a dick"

Resolved.

See the transcript just prior to chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/27917858#27917858, which contains several deleted messages.

See above.

(I assume you can see those messages as a mod.)

I just don't get it.

@bwDraco I can't/won't monitor the room 24/7

I can't safely vent my emotions.

"yourpsychogirlfriend.com"? o_0

She really wants to cultivate that image, huh?

I quite literally have better things to do than to babysit folk who should know better.

@bwDraco You can, just don't do it on chat. Talk a walk, get a tennis ball and throw is against a wall for a bit, solve a Rubik's Cube one handed.

@MichaelFrank s/one handed/no handed

I hate map games like this

@JourneymanGeek Yea, but that's just frustrating. At least one handed is achievable.

@qasdfdsaq Some of those skills worry me. Especially in the "psycho girlfriend" context.

@JourneymanGeek Look, I'm sorry. I really don't get what's going on today, but maybe this isn't my day.

1px margin of error on some prefectures

And there are 46 prefectures in Japan

@oldmud0 To be fair, you totally crushed a bunch of people first time around.

@bwDraco If you think you're not in control on chat, step off chat for a bit yourself

Congrats, you've just made a really tough map game that not only requires no skill but is also extremely difficult

This may have something to do with it:

I'm not your babysitter

One thing I do sometimes if I'm really frustrated with people is hop into a CS:GO DM (or casual) game. There's something cathartic about it :P

@JourneymanGeek I've already tried leaving the room several times.

Though that in itself can be frustrating at times ... hey I forget my original issue.

@MichaelFrank ???

This isn't my map game lol

@oldmud0 Dropping a giant chunk of earth on people tends to crush them.

^ this.

@Bob Meh, she's evidently creative, has a sense of humour, and is handy with a beaver.

@JourneymanGeek LOL, but I get it. Sorry. I'll do whatever I can to not let this happen again.

Which is more than I can say for the majority of people I meet

Men or women.

@Bob I have a friend that plays DOTA 2 and pretends to be Russian.

The next day could begin as early as 6:00 AM for me. Good night.

!!google CYKA BLYAT

@qasdfdsaq * Urban Dictionary: blyat ; What is up with "cyka blyat"? : OutOfTheLoop - Reddit ; Cyka Blyat Strike CS:GO - YouTube

I'm going to close up shop for the day. Hopefully, I'm not going to be as grumpy tomorrow.

@qasdfdsaq Basically translates to "Bitch Whore".

@bwDraco Hopefully it's still PM for you then. :)

@PatoSáinz It'd be my first then!

@PatoSáinz That's actually flaggable, so please be careful.

Good night, folks. I'll be up really early next morning.

@bwDraco Good night!

Hey I haven't been flagged for sexism today. Yay.

@bwDraco 'night.

@qasdfdsaq How would you even know?

@qasdfdsaq I haven't been flagges for sexism this decade :)

@JourneymanGeek You're a dog, you may as well be asexual.

@qasdfdsaq ...aren't you supposed to be a cat?

We don't typically 'fix' dogs

@Bob Cats are known to prefer women over men.

Speaking of which, one of my gran's dogs passed on :(

:[

The one you mentioned the other day?

The one that has been sick a while?

Oh, not the giant fluffball

I wonder if they included their signature picture enough?

They're shaping it.

@PatoSáinz you'd be surprised how often that happens

Ha! I wonder if you get float an Area 52 suggestion.

@PatoSáinz I'm still trying to figure out how that works.

Dating.SE! Mark your preferred partner as accepted!

@PatoSáinz hey babe, wanna come back to my place?

It'd be crowd driven match making. The community decides who's best for you!

@PatoSáinz I was thinking the SO chat room thing

@MichaelFrank Bounties! Community wikis?

Hey, it almost made a fortnight.

@Bob Yea... Perhaps someone realised the top answer would be "Dump him/her. Delete Facebook. Hit the gym. Lawyer up."

@PatoSáinz I have a very special high endurance solid state array ;-)

And hard drives of all sorts of different shapes and sizes.

oooookay. I'mma go get a drink. D:

._.

Oh yeah just wait till you see my collection of extensions for dongles.

arstechnica.com/apple/2016/02/… oops

@JourneymanGeek What if you don't have WiFi?!

@MichaelFrank I tend to use ethernet almost all the time

> a silent auto-update mechanism that executes in the background even if you haven't enabled normal automatic updates

oh boy.

@PatoSáinz Whoa... why did the woman get fired?

It honestly reads like they fired her so Anonymous would stop DDOSing them. o.O

Oh... the last paragraph states why.

@MichaelFrank arstechnica.com/staff/2013/03/… is worth a read

@MichaelFrank That was the implication, but chances are that legal may have been involved.

is arse technica at it again?

and this is why the right reaction to someone saying something that's not cool is to go "Hey, that's not cool"

Generally, putting yourself in the public eye isn't a great thing.

Day 1 of March and I ddin't go to college yay !

hmm, it seems that I am not quite used to the british spellings yet

"Donglegate"

Lol

it seems like the british spelling has a less strong meaning than the american spelling, at least to us americans

@qasdfdsaq I really wish people would stop with the *gate stuff.

But not Stargate, 'cause that's cool.

@MichaelFrank its a 'murica thing

yeah, let's just keep it at Watergate, before we get to Gategate

Watergate was a location -_-

@oldmud0 ?

@Bob Yea! So it doesn't even make sense.

@Bob I'm referring to the word "arse"

@oldmud0 "ass" is a donkey. "arse" is a person's rear end, or an insult.

well in america, the three-letter version has both the meanings ;)

where has this chat gone in the past 30 mins...

They should gamify youtube crowdsourced subtitles

Hmm... My DynDNS client on my home server randomly crashes. Queue PowerShell script to start it automatically if it's isn't running!

pcworld.com/article/2925172/…

18C/36T Haswell-EP in an SFF PC. Crazy!

I'm actually on my tablet right now.

Just about to actually put my head down and sleep.

@bwDraco Do you have trouble sleeping after using a device in bed? I found that even with f.lux or Twilight (for Android) I still sleep poorly if I've used a device while in bed.

Especially if the room light is off

Sometimes, sometimes not.

@MichaelFrank depends on the color temp you set it to, I have to set it to 2300K in order to match my room's lighting

also, it's just best not to use a device immediately before going to sleep

ymmv

Alright then, good night.

At $3900 retail, that processor accounts for nearly half the price of the whole machine.

45MB L3 cache is just as insane.

boredpanda.com/… Tribble!

Just found a bloody old video of me jumping from a tree

The tree is a story high

How the fuck could I do that then

language

Also youth and stupidity

@bwDraco that's awesome

@JourneymanGeek :D

It's GSOC season again

Uhm so anyone a mentor here?

inc.com/business-insider/…

The next day will begin at about 5 AM; alarms set as early as 4:45 AM.

Whatever it takes to get out of bed by 6 AM.

I'm stopping at nothing to make sure I get out of bed at the crack of dawn.

I am going so far as to place my phone away from my bed.

If I have to walk out of bed like a zombie to get to the phone to dismiss the alarm, so be it.

I'd rather faint than not get out of bed on time.

I'd rather sleep in than faint ;p

theverge.com/2016/2/29/11137324/…

pcworld.com/article/2925172/…

^^ Does anyone know of a PC with a very similar form factor to that, but using Skylake mainstream desktop i7, something like a 980 or 980 Ti, and significantly cheaper?

Looking for that chassis or a very similar one, with similar storage options but without the EP Xeon and Titan X... more modest components replacing them.

@allquixotic the rest of it is standard

Its a prebuild but they have a z170 option

~2600 with a quick swap

their SSD options ._.

$4K for the config I'd want ;p

;p

tricked out SSD?

0_0

How did you get a 4K build?

ahh 1tb SSD and big HDD?

yeah

@Michael in the photo? Yes. Model M. Serial number indicates it is from 1991. All I know is that I have used it for ages and that I actively used it for at least 10 years.

@bob ost files are just caches. There are some hackish programs to turn an OST into a PST, but that is more or less the same as turning a browser cache back into a working webpage

@JourneymanGeek I've probably asked this a dozen times, but what was your Dell monitor model again? :P

P2715Q

@JourneymanGeek Oh. That's actually the same one I was just looking at -_-

We should have a spreadsheet with everyone's specs

@Bob My mom says its the best monitor she's ever seen

(even more than the luxor TV we had as a kid, which my mom used to say had the best colours ever)

@Bob slightly pricy but worth it

@JourneymanGeek Yea, it's been getting discounted recently but still runs some 4x a 24" 1080p display :\

@HackToHell google sheets? ;p

To be fair, it is four times the number of pixels :P

Yeah, we can share that ;p

@Bob and IPS and colour caliberated

@JourneymanGeek I actually favour MS (Office, Onedrive)

But meh.

@JourneymanGeek The 24" ones I was talking about are IPS too

@Bob I cannot go back to 1080p on a desktop

But 4x 24" nets more physical space too.

@JourneymanGeek shrug after having used 3200x1800 on a 13" screen for a while, I'm over hidpi

I'll stick with my standard res where things work -_-

Unless large screens drop in price like SSDs

But it's not looking that way either.

@Bob I spent ~350USD on a TN one which isn't half bad

Mwah

Oh.

@JourneymanGeek Is it hard to tile desktops in Win10?

Large screens (as in up to 27") have dropped a lot in the last few years

tile desktops?

@JourneymanGeek Say, split the screen into two halves. Or four quarters.

Oh

trivial

@JourneymanGeek The Korean one?

yup

@JourneymanGeek Actual desktops, not individual programs?

Oh that

no, no support for that AFAIK

:/

There goes my plans for world domination.

@JourneymanGeek the cable of the Hybrids kinks really easily :(

couple places where the insulation is peeking through the cloth cover already

ahh

hey

Hey

ho

woof

roar

It's 4:52 AM and it's unclear if I can last much longer.

pulling an all nighter?

@Hennes Got a mechanical keyboard several weeks ago. Not looking back.

@burgi

ah
