@NetworkKingPin eh... 18 here, iirc 18 in most of Europe
18 in China
18-25 in India o.O
In fact, by country, 21 is an outlier: icap.org/table/MinimumAgeLimitsWorldwide.html
Interesting facts
confidence in bars helps
i remember once being a in a bar without id
i was like 24 and the legal age was 18
Bob
Bob
It's also... really weird.
but the guy id'd me and once they do, you have to show ID to be served.
Bob
Bob
11:03
In the US, you're an adult at 18. But you can't drink...?
I just started laughing at him, pointed out he's about 12.
he then shrugged, and served me.
You can drink just not legally
Bob
Bob
O_O TIL age of majority is 20 in NZ (@MichaelFrank?)
the UK is real fun
sex at 16, marrage at... 16, army at 16, cigarettes and lottery? - 18
drinking, 18
Bob
Bob
With a proposal to amend March this year: parliament.nz/en-nz/pb/legislation/proposed-bills/…
11:04
Knives, 18.
Fireworks, 18....
Bob
Bob
@djsmiley2k That's more "18 with exceptions" (in the 'less' direction)
Drinking at home when given it by your parents? 4.
XD
@djsmiley2k sex @ 16?? D:
Bob
Bob
@Rahul2001 Fairly common age of consent
11:06
but it's a weird loophole thing.
well for males it's 14
Bob
Bob
Though sometimes there are laws around age differences
@djsmiley2k wtf?
Bob
Bob
16 can be with 17, but not with 20, and funny stuff like that
@Rahul2001 as long as the female is over 16, but not old enough to be seen to be grooming, or something
it's very fuzzy and never realy gets discussed.
11:07
You're told at school the legal age is 16.
18 for homosexuality
Weird...
or is it 21, I can't remember
yeah, our legal system is a bit weird, due to being so old
Bob
Bob
yay, common law
'it's legal to shoot a welshman with a crossbow from 12 feet away on a sunday ... blah blah'
@djsmiley2k It's modern, compared to ours.
11:08
@Rahul2001 where r u?
Bob
Bob
@Rahul2001 Uhm. You do realise India literally got their legal system from Britain?
India?
@Bob .....
@Bob not really
@djsmiley2k Is that a surprise?
wtf, houses of parliment only built in 1835?
I thought it was far older lol
there, now you can see who's reply was who's
Bob
Bob
> It is part of the inheritance India received from the British after more than 200 years of their Colonial rule, and the same is obvious from the many similarities the Indian legal system shares with the English Legal System.
oh, palace of westminister is what I mean i guess
'started: Middle Ages'
@Bob that is only partially correct, but I really don't feel like discussing history right now
Basically, what the constitution makers tried to do was combine the best from various constitutions
Which is why ours is the longest
11:11
so you know how half the uk is blaming all the crime etc on immigrants?
well wife just found a paper from 2 days after her birth
it features a story about a baby being 'booted' into the air by a mugger
who then pulled out a knife too
Clearly those immigrants...
eh...
Bob
Bob
@Rahul2001 It's definitely evolved separately over time, but pulling in pieces from other systems doesn't really make it any more historical.
How do you judge the age of a legal system anyway?
@djsmiley2k It's just that no country wants to admit that criminals and wrongdoers can be citizens too...
11:15
yah
just funny
which is why... you know... trump
Bob
Bob
Unless you meant the parts of Civil Law? *shrug*
3-in-one oil smells weird...
3-in-one oil?
Bob
Bob
3-in-One Oil is a general-purpose lubricating oil sold in small cans and squeezable containers for household and do-it-yourself use. It was originally formulated in 1894. Its name, given by the inventor George W. Cole of New Jersey, derives from the product's triple ability to "clean, lubricate and protect," originally for use on bicycles. The formula consists of pale spindle oil with a small amount of corrosion inhibitor and citronella oil (which gives the product its distinctive sharp odor). It remains a popular lubricant for bicycle chains. The product changed ownership many times throughout...
hm...
11:21
@Bob That will be the citronella
>citronella oil (which gives the product its distinctive sharp odor)
Bob
Bob
@DavidPostill I'd need pure citronella to compare, but it's got a distinct oily smell as well
I can definitely smell the citronella, but I can also smell the petroleum? :\
I love the smell of WD40
I've never even seen wd40 :/
Bob
Bob
@djsmiley2k I prefer the smell of silicone spray :P
It's got this... lemony? smell to it
11:25
I've never smelt that either :/
Bob
Bob
wd-40 small isn't bad, but it's not as good
@Rahul2001 India clearly is a uncivilised country
11:27
WD40 is one of the holy trinity of fixing stuff ;p

@allquixotic fun game
VVVVVV (pronounced as the letter V six times) is a 2010 2D puzzle platform video game created by Terry Cavanagh. The game was built in Adobe Flash and released on January 11, 2010, for Microsoft Windows and OS X. The game was ported to C++ by Simon Roth in 2011, and released as part of the Humble Indie Bundle #3. The port to C++ allowed the porting of the game to other platforms as Linux, Pandora and Nintendo 3DS later. == Gameplay == Unlike most platforming games, in VVVVVV the player is not able to jump, but instead can reverse the direction of gravity when standing on a surface, causing Captain...
@allquixotic did you fall asleep on your v key?
my mom woke me up to go to the market and was reading my paper where I wrote down the MAC, alias, IP, zone brand and role of each of my planned SmartOS containers and asked me if it was for a game, so I kicked the paper somehow from my bed and told her to get out of my hair
and I meant chair but I was half asleep
still have no idea how I managed to kick that piece of paper
Bob

@allquixotic It was all a dream

Oddly enough
coconut oil's pretty good at a pinch
Works on guns, roller coasters....
@Rahul2001 <I was bored>
heh, I just pinged myself...
@Rahul2001 bored? Take up carpentry!
@JourneymanGeek I'd rather make comics like that^
Looks like my dad's cousin's son got a westie pup
He's a fat, grumpy looking critter ;p

@Rahul2001 its scientifically proven asking for stars reduces your chances of starwhorage considerably.

Q: Can headphones transmit malware?

tony200910041Can headphones transmit malware? My friend borrowed my headphones (a pair of Apple EarPods) and plugged them into his Android mobile phone for a few minutes in order to listen to a voice message. Would it be dangerous if I plug it into my phone afterwards (since I wonder whether the headphone can...

wat
HNQed too
I was all whaaaaat?
tho
with USB C headphones...
@Bob "A chip with the markings "TI25ASGVI 079" is found in the remote" :)
"According to iFixit, the semiconductor analysis site Chipworks believes the "TI25ASGVI 079" chip to be a Texas Instruments ADC (for the mic?) or a part used for volume control. Any other guesses?"
Bob
Bob
@DavidPostill That makes the assumption that a phone is exploitable through a TRRS socket.
"a chip exists" != "this is a vector for attack"
@Bob But the NSA could have embedded secret code in the chip! :)
The headphone leads could be acting as an aerial transmitting secret data!
@Bob Doesn't my :) indicate I'm trying to wind you up? Do Australians not have a sense of humour?
!!caat
"Mocking the wowser wauzer" That seems... impolite
Bob
Bob
@DavidPostill While you're joking, I've seen people actually use that argument far too many times.
Does feel like thicker sarcasm might have helped there.
"A chip with the markings "TI25ASGVI 079" is found in the remote" CLEARLY ITS AN EXPLOIT!!!!!
14:08
FTW?
Who stole Root Access and replaced it with Paranoidus Anonymous

Just cause you don't know they're there dosen't mean they arn't out to get you...

Ok. Time to update my tablet.
@JourneymanGeek Where's my Mickens quote

O_O
I just realised I can read room transcripts without going into a room
@JourneymanGeek Finally you can understand all our complaints about trolls and drive-by flagging :)
14:22
@DavidPostill trolls would actually need to be here
@JourneymanGeek Why? I can flag a message from the transcript.
ah
Amusingly I was thinking of it cause we occationally have mods flooding a room when there's a flag
I would demonstrate, but ...
I don't want to invoke the "horde of mods" (tm)
lol
yeah
I usually don't care too much about rooms I'm not in so....
I could flag your last post in Super User Blog Editor Room just for demonstration purposes.
@JourneymanGeek You want me to? :)
14:28
I mean, for actually reading the transcripts
Naw
Bob
Bob
dammit
we need some kind of standard for laptop keyboards
@JourneymanGeek I'm sure that's what the trolls do...
Bob
Bob
(yea !!xkcd standards bleh)
@DavidPostill I have better things to do ; ;
@Bob size? layout? Key style?
I used to stick to thinkpads cause they used the same keyboard style...
Bob
Bob
14:30
@JourneymanGeek Mostly layout
then lenovo went goofed
Bob
Bob
even within a brand
Yeah
wibbles @Rahul2001 how was dancing?
I managed to embarrass myself in front of everyone, but other than that it was fun...
Hot girls though :P
Always a plus
14:39
in your dreams?
Bob
Bob
Just decided I'd rather not go there :P
Wise choice
3 messages moved to Trashcan
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek Is there an implied "or else" there?
Nope
hell, I deleted what I said too ;p
I missed it :(
Bob
Bob
14:49
The trashing was kinda unnecessary on an already self-deleted message :P
It's OK. It made me curious.

@jokerdino me too :P

14:53
@JourneymanGeek Oh yea, the new Daiso FP is nice
Smooth without dumping ink all over the page.
And I picked up some magnetic tape :P
@Bob I'll keep an eye out for it ;p
I wonder if they're just selling 'nicer' platinums
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek Don't think it's a Platinum
Seems to take standard international short
"Mysterious Daiso Fountain Pen" :P
ooh
fancy looking
(and heh, I haven't used my FP in ages ._.)
Bob
Bob
15:10
ok, the magnetic tape is weak and useless
going with velcro next time
@JourneymanGeek I'm debating installing win10 on that first-gen atom :P

Should work
assuming storage is decent

um... guys?
Am I allowed to redistribute an executable which came with the Windows 2003 Resource Kit with my application?
The eula doesn't mention anything...
16:24
The safe bet is "no".
I don't think so
Is this for your WinPE project?
@BenN yes ;p
Also note, then, that distributing the Windows PE OS files is also illegal
@BenN Yeah, I remember ;p
Apr 24 at 15:54, by Ben N
@RahulBasu Distributing Windows PE is against the license terms
That was a massive pain for me when I did WinPE stuff; you have to create a script that jams all your stuff into the image and then creates the ISO/WIM
16:32
hm...
Here's a random funny gif: i.imgur.com/ErfgXux.gifv
@jokerdino ;p
Bob
Bob
Har har
he did get the ball.
@BenN SO, if I want to (legally) distribute my package, I'll have to ask the the guys to make their own WinPE image and then give them a script to add my additional stuff to it?
16:35
hi
2
@Rahul2001 That seems to be what's necessary. I did it here: pckf.com/viewtopic.php?t=3228
got my MBP connected to my keyboard/mouse and the Predator X34... the Broadwell iGPU can drive 3440x1440... at 50 Hz -_- (no G-Sync on Intel)
@BenN That's pretty neat...
I was thinking of making a win7PE instead of win8... any thoughts?
That works too. IIRC it depends entirely on which version of the ADK you get
I've actually never used a win8 PE... I didn't even know it existed until just now
16:45
@NetworkKingPin steamcommunity.com/id/DEATHoWAR this ?
Hmm, that user changed his/her name, it wasn't always that. (I remember answering his/her question)
IIRC all legitimate bot accounts have negative UIDs, so this is not actually a non-human account
Actually, I guess that was the user's name originally, looking at a comment reply. I think the profile pic is new though
Although there's not necessarily anything inherently wrong or malicious in calling yourself anything
16:56
And yes, chat bots do have negative UIDs, as does the Community ♦ user
17:14
@BenN The real reason I'm making my own PE is so that all my robotics and coding software is accessible in school without installing it each time...
You never know which computer you're going to have to use
Ah, that makes sense
If you don't put the thing on the public Internet, though, you won't have to worry about licensing
So you could just shove the ISO onto a WDS server and call it a day
17:27
@Rahul2001 Why not a Linux live USB with persistence? Much better, simpler, elegant, IMHO. And no licensing hell.
@ThatBrazilianGuy Because none of the robotics software is available on linux...
@BenN :D
@Rahul2001 Weird. Due to the hacking-culture always associetad with robotics, I'd expect it to be linux based
@ThatBrazilianGuy The actual robot brain actually runs linux, but you cannot program it with linux :/
17:30
Is this the Robot-C stuff?
nah
and lego mindstorms
and other random kits
hm...
I might build this
but with a gpu
@Rahul2001 Just don't ask us for help :) The use of OSX on non-Apple hardware is a legal grey area and as a result "Hackintosh" questions have been deemed off-topic
@DavidPostill I might run windows it
or triple boot with hackintosh, windows, linux
:D
Hmm, my ISP blocked streamable.com
Is this sort of question on topic for SU or Android Enthu?
17:54
Probably better for SU than Android.SE
@jokerdino Use browsec
Since it's about a general computing platform and involves Windows, I think it'll survive here
I am gonna punt it to over here then.
Heh, somebody edited the question to fix an image link, breaking it in the process, and the edit was approved
@jokerdino Good call. However, as it stands, I don't think there is enough info in the question to answer. It needs fleshing out ...
17:57
Oh wait, the link was broken in the first place. Interesting
@BenN the file was deleted from dropbox I guess.
I took a pill in Ibizia!
@DavidPostill you guys do your thing. I took a chance on maybe trying to get an answer for him or to shut down the question.
