@Bob Oh it's decent, I've read it before.

AIDA64 shows the same sensor reading(s)

Burgi

@qwertyuiop maybe i should stop going on dates with primary school teachers, they are probably just happy to be talking to someone who isn't 5....

qwertyuiop

@Burgi Lol, is this something you do regularly then?

I have a few friends who are primary teachers, never dated one though

And they do spend a lot of time moaning about their job. They do get pretty overworked in this country.

Burgi

no but the dating site i'm on seems to match me to teachers more than anything

qwertyuiop

Maybe that's a hint

Burgi

that i need a teacher?

qwertyuiop

16:04

Dunno, how much does this site know about your subconscious?

Well this has been a boring day at work. I'm off home.

Burgi

or is it that teachers don't have time to do proper dating so use dating sites and my selection criteria (25+, degree level education) means teachers are selected more often?

qwertyuiop

Gonna try to not fall off my motorbike this time

Burgi

did you fall off recently?

qwertyuiop

@Burgi possibly. Without knowing what site you're on about I haven't a clue. But some do match on personality traits rather than just age/background/etc.

@Burgi twice.

Burgi

eharmony

ouch

qwertyuiop

16:08

Once in the rain, which is what is happening now.

@Burgi didn't hurt much, both times I was doing about 2 mph

But drain covers get dangerously slippery even when just slightly wet...

Burgi

ah, this is a case where you'd have been ok at speed due to gyroscopic things

qwertyuiop

Something that I was told many times in training but never actually set in until I fell off on one.

Yeah, both cases I would ironically have been more likely to be fine if I had been going faster

Burgi

i fell off mine about 8 times in one morning in the ice

qwertyuiop

Ouch! I'm personally glad to have never had to ride in ice just yet.

But I suspect I may run into it in Finland

Burgi

avoid the side roads and it'll be ok

and walk the bike on really bad stuff

or fit stabilizing skis....

DavidPostill

16:13

@qwertyuiop You are moving to Finland? Or is this another holiday?

qwertyuiop

Ooh skis

Honestly I'd be even more likely to fall over if I was walking.

I could do the super noobish thing and get one of these

Burgi

or one of these:

images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/styles/…

qwertyuiop

Lol

Can't legally drive one of those on a motorcycle license

:-P

Which reminds me I should get started on my car driving license asap

Nick

16:41

Um, guys, I'm connected to Wifi that I forgot the password of. I really don't want to permanently root my phone just to get it.Any advice.

Burgi

did @Nick get murdered mid-sentance?

2

Nick

@Burgi Yes, it's called that moment when your mom walks in to find you chatting rather than studying for tomorrow's big exam xD

qwertyuiop

Murdered by your own mother

Shock

Your mom walks in on you? How old are you?

Burgi

i'm going to say 17

qwertyuiop

@Burgi You or him?

Burgi

16:48

ha! you know guys stop aging when they get to 13. the toys just get more expensive :)

Nick

@qwertyuiop I'm a wee baaby (read in Scottish accent)

qwertyuiop

@Burgi Lol

13's the minimum age to be on here IIRC

@Nick ... babies should not be on the internet

Nick

@Burgi No, diodes and basic transistors are pretty cheap. It's only when you want to do bigger projects that expenses mount.

qwertyuiop

@Burgi Yeah

This is my current toy:

Burgi

a colon, wow

Nick

16:52

@Burgi my SU dp is from when I was 17. Good guessing.

Burgi

@nick, diodes are rubbish toys! ;)

qwertyuiop

@Burgi An expensive colon

Nick

@Burgi better than a colon though

qwertyuiop

@Nick So you are no longer 17 but your mom still walks in on you?

Nick

@qwertyuiop that's not a toy. It's a vehicle.

Burgi

16:54

its a toy!

qwertyuiop

@Nick Vehicles are toys. For big boys.

The only difference is you must remember not to play in front of speed cameras.

Burgi

BIIIIIIG toy

Nick

@qwertyuiop Living at home is more convenient than in the college dorms. That place reeks. Sure, home has its ups and downs.

Burgi

i would rather be in dorms and deal with the stoners than at home

Nick

@Burgi Big toy crush small toys. Big toy crush all the small toys!

Burgi

16:57

exactly

Nick

@Burgi It's more profitable to deal stuff to the stoners

Burgi

er.... ok

allquixotic

BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII‌IIIIIIG toy

qwertyuiop

@Nick How do you get laid with the constant fear of your mom walking in looming over you?

Burgi

^- this

qwertyuiop

17:00

@allquixotic has got us all beat

Burgi

HUUUUUGE toy

qwertyuiop

Oh god oh god oh god

The first result for "HUUUUUGE toy" on Google image search...

... oh god no

Burgi

safe search not on? >;)

qwertyuiop

Evidently not

allquixotic

BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII‌IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII‌IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII‌IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII‌IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG ~~city~~ toy

Burgi

17:04

google bases its results on your previous searches @qwertyuiop

qwertyuiop

@allquixotic That's sorta more a group activity though, you can't play with that by yourself

@Burgi Not this one, same results in incognito

allquixotic

@qwertyuiop sure you can -- the reactor department practically runs itself; and you can move the ship around and navigate alone (albeit with considerable effort and knowledge) from the bridge

Burgi

ROFL at the "HUUUUUGE toy" results......

check out the size of this!

allquixotic

you could launch auto-piloted drone fighters from the catapults, but you wouldn't be able to reset the arresting gear to their original condition alone (I think they have to have a crew manually pull back the arresting gear)

Burgi

there are plans for a flying drone mothership in a converted 747

allquixotic

17:08

if the ship were "pre-configured" before you left harbor to be in full operating condition and outfitted with supplies, and you could cook, navigate, pilot, and operate the CIWS and catapults, you could (with greatly reduced efficiency) operate an aircraft carrier alone

qwertyuiop

@allquixotic Would you be able to play with it though?

I mean if all the fun sorta stops as soon as anything goes wrong...

Burgi

popsci.com/article/technology/…

allquixotic

the new Ford-class carriers have excellent automation, too -- you could probably get a lot done on one of those with just 10 or 20 skilled, multi-role people (would still need drone fighters, though)

Burgi

do they have a big oval blue badge on the front?

allquixotic

heh, the Independence-class Littoral Combat Ship (near-shore frigate) has a crew complement of 43... if you want a ship you can probably operate alone, it's that

qwertyuiop

17:20

c. littoral?

@allquixotic I can operate this alone, but it's not very big

@RahulBasu Our Bangaleru based Help Desk are obsessed with "draining the flea power" for fixing pretty much every fault they get.

djsmiley2k

Rahul Basu

@GuitarShoeDave what does that suit do?

Guitar Shoe Dave

not a damn thing

Nick

@qwertyuiop Hikikomori don't get laid, brah.

Rahul Basu

@Nick um.. @qwertyuiop is a 'she'

'Brah' isn't really appropriate

Nick

19:56

@RahulBasu Female knights have been addressed "Sir". I really don't care for meticulous semantics.

Rahul Basu

Hehe

Nick

3 hours ago, by Nick

Um, guys, I'm connected to Wifi that I forgot the password of. I really don't want to permanently root my phone just to get it.Any advice.

Rahul Basu

Um

Do you have a PC handy?

One that is connected to the network?

Android can't do much

But you can try wireless key view from nirsoft on windows

Nick

@RahulBasu Yeah, I'm using that now.

Rahul Basu

^

I think it might be called wirelesspassview

Don't remember the exact name

nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_key.html

@Nick did it work?

Ignore the malware warnings

It's completely safe

Nick

20:05

@RahulBasu Omg, it worked. Thank you so much!

Rahul Basu

Lol

Ur welcome

😉

Nick

@RahulBasu Do you know if there's a android version of this thing? That would be cool.

Rahul Basu

Only for rooted android

There's an exposed module

Nick

@RahulBasu Kay, is temporary rooting a thing. I don't want to nullify my warranty.

Rahul Basu

Which phone do you have?

Nick

20:07

(This room is called Root Access. Seems like an appropriate question)

Rahul Basu

Lol

Nick

@RahulBasu Samsung Galaxy Tab 2

Rahul Basu

You can unroot on some devices

Not sure about yours though

Check on xda

I had an android one that refused to unroot

So... it depends

Nick

@RahulBasu Like, is there a "tiny rooter" that doesn't need a PC inorder to root. Some .apk that could root my device.

Rahul Basu

Kingoroot

Towelroot

Other stuff on XDA

I wouldn't recommend rooting until your device ID you of warranty though

Better safe than sorry

Also, summer rooting apps brick lollipop and later

Be sure to confirm first...

Nick

20:11

@RahulBasu The Kingoroot root is removable if I use a PC.

Rahul Basu

These don't work always

But most of the time they do...

Nick

@RahulBasu Nooo, I'm still praying for a Marshmallow update. I'll do a root when it's older and more worn out.

Rahul Basu

Also, on lollipop and later, you can simply unlock your bootloader from developer settings

@Nick good idea...

Nick

@RahulBasu O_O woah, i never knew they let you do that.

Rahul Basu

They do

On most devices

It's there on android one and moto g

Damn, I'm reduced to 64kbps

😭

Nick

20:14

@RahulBasu Do they do it to promote custom ROM or something?

Rahul Basu

No

Just that so developers use adb quite often...

Nick

@RahulBasu 64...esh, switch to fibre.

@RahulBasu Mhh, interesting.

Rahul Basu

I'm on motive rn

Also, no fibre where I live

I tried...

I'm on mobile*

Nick

@RahulBasu brute force neighbour's wifi key. It's not unethical if it's a weak password.

Rahul Basu

Lol

Maybe later...

That reminds me, I have to download the latest version of Kali...

Kali is fun...

Nick

20:19

@RahulBasu I keep hearing about it. And the also infamous Zanti too. I'll try to use Bluestack to run it one day to see what the deal is. Or wait till it's the right time to root my device.

Rahul Basu

Use andy

I like it better than bluestacks

@Nick Illegal in the UK under the Computer Misuse Act 1990

Unauthorised access to computer material.

(1)A person is guilty of an offence if—

(a)he causes a computer to perform any function with intent to secure access to any program or data held in any computer [F1, or to enable any such access to be secured] ;

(b)the access he intends to secure [F2, or to enable to be secured,] is unauthorised; and

(c)he knows at the time when he causes the computer to perform the function that that is the case.

Rahul Basu

Damn, code formatting on module ain't no good...

@DavidPostill the police doesn't even know the law in India

Actually, many policemen don't even know how to use PCs

And the rest use XP

I was surprised to see the readers in court actually use Ubuntu and live office

On most Indian PCs, you'll see pirated office 2007

DavidPostill

cyberlawsindia.net

Unauthorized access would therefore mean any kind of access without the permission of either the rightful owner or the person in charge of a computer, computer system or computer network.

Rahul Basu

*libre office not live office

@DavidPostill I'm gonna intern under the owner of that site

Starting June

DavidPostill

20:27

@RahulBasu Better make sure you obey the rules then ;)

Rahul Basu

Lol

DavidPostill

Section66. Hacking with the computer system:
(1) Whoever with the intent to cause or knowing that he is likely to cause wrongful loss or damage to the public or any person destroys or deletes or alters any information residing in a computer resource or diminishes its value or utility or affects it injuriously by any means, commits hacking.

(2) Whoever commits hacking shall be punished with imprisonment up to three years, or with fine which may extend up to two lakh rupees, or with both.

Rahul Basu

Anyways, goodnight guys...

UKP 2000 - I guess a lot of money in India.

Rahul Basu

About 3000 usd

Yeak

Burgi

i wish i had a beer

Rahul Basu

You can buy a small car for that much

@Burgi lol

Anyways

Bye...

DavidPostill

Burgi

heh

Nick

20:44

@DavidPostill Objection, your honour! Authorization to access the network is implicitly granted by virtue of the so-called "piggybacker" gaining the password as easily as he did. Even if you disregard that, this case of fraudulent appropriation can be reduced to larceny by finding. But then the protected property was left so poorly protected that I accuse the defendant and/or his service provider of a conspiracy to entrap my client.

Burgi

ugh

DavidPostill

@Nick Nice try. Please find a court case to back it up ;)

Burgi

i have to take a hardcopy utility bill with me tomorrow to the job centre

i do everything online...

DavidPostill

@Burgi If you have one. Most people don't.

Nick

@DavidPostill ... or make a court case ...

DavidPostill

20:46

@Burgi Why are you going to the job centre when you have a new job?

Michael Frank

@Nick Setting precedent is much harder...

Burgi

i can claim for the time since the end of my garden leave

Nick

@MichaelFrank Especially when "fraudulent appropriation" and "larceny by finding" are regarded synonymous.

Burgi

like all government agencies it has taken them a month to get me an appointment

Nick

@Burgi Don't be glum. Every cloud has a silver lining.

Burgi

20:52

they phoned me at lunch yesterday to demand a meeting with me

Nick

@Burgi On the bright side, you're in demand.

Burgi

i have to take my passport, my driving license, my P45 tax form, a hardcopy utility bill

my birth certificate and something else

Michael Frank

@Nick Although, I'm sure there are many "judges" in America that would like to be able to set a precedent that weak security was asking for it. The <3 letter agencies> would love it.

@Burgi Something blue!

Burgi

lol

oh the little plastic national insurance card thing

i suspect they will take dna swabs and blood from me when i get there

all for £160 and a civil servant to tell me to get a job...

Nick

@Burgi Ah, insurance companies notoriously have lines full of people carrying all such documents regarding themselves. It's demeaning to be treated like cattle who have to produce papers with their name on it just to prove to someone that they exist. This is why I advocate for OpenID that encapsulates all those details... including dna swabs and blood if it's necessary.

Burgi

20:58

@nick, that sounds like an idea douglas adams had in mostly harmless

DavidPostill

@Burgi Hmm. I don't have one of those :/ I might have had a cardboard one many many years ago ...

Burgi

me neither, i lost mine about 10 years ago when i was drunk and dropped my wallet somewhere

ah no wait!

i wasn't drunk but i did leave it on a train

DavidPostill

@Burgi Just as stupid ;)

Burgi

i lost my good ipod on a train once

i was asleep and it got to my stop so i had to rush to get off the train, in the process the ipod must have fallen out of the pocket of my combats

unsurprisingly it was never recovered

i hadn't registered it with apple either so i couldn't get them to remotely nuke it

DavidPostill

@Burgi I didn't know an iPod could be remotely nuked. Mine only talks to Apple if I check for an upgrade which I've never done since the first time when I bought it.

Burgi

21:13

i'll be honest, i just assumed they could be

because you will have to connect it to itunes to put your own music on it

and they can't (easily) change the serial number

and the ones with wifi will be chatting to the apple mothership constantly

DavidPostill

@Burgi That's probably why. I still have an iPod classic. And I've just realised they don't sell them anymore :/

Burgi

yeah mine was a classic too

Michael Frank

21:34

I still have my iPod Video kicking around somewhere...

djsmiley2k

heh

i have a zen touch

still works

20Gb, like 30+hr battery

spinning disk tho i think, fair bit of weight

Burgi

21:47

apple need to bring the classic back...

in fact a 15 year anniversary model would be so cool

Michael Frank

@djsmiley2k Yea, I keep meaning to mod my Video with a CF/SD kit.

Burgi

250GB, click wheel, touch screen for the iOS generation

USB 3.1

Michael Frank

Something like this: iflash.xyz/store/iflash-cf

Burgi

why?

Michael Frank

@Burgi So I can increase the amount of space my iPod has?

Burgi

21:58

fair enough

Michael Frank

So my most viewed question is about playing UNO...

13

Q: How quickly does a player have to say "Uno" to avoid drawing extra cards?

I was playing with my fiancée and some friends, and she's adamant that if you can yell Uno before someone who has just played their second to last card, they are required to pick up the penalty amount of cards. Is this kosher?

uno

And it had a spelling mistake in the title for over 2 years. O_O

Burgi

@qwertyuiop is that a speedway crash?

Michael Frank

@Burgi Looks like it, probably those funny lopsided tricycles.

Burgi

my dad used to be big on his speedway racing

he went to both germanys to see it

and to loads of warsaw pact countries

he said it was like being a millionaire
