@Bob umm I don't think you can get a train from Malaysia to Melbourne...

Bob

@TOWMN I mean your flight is cheaper than the Syd => Melb train

TOWMN

@Bob umm yeah I've been hiding in your back yard this whole time.

Bob

Oh, can't remember if I've warned you: a bunch of mobile blackspots between the two cities.

TOWMN

01:16

@Bob well yeah, though it's kinda cheating (£28 fees + air miles)

Bob

@TOWMN Oh. Air miles. Right.

TOWMN

@Bob I'm more trying to figure out if the train has power sockets...i don't think so

Bob

@TOWMN ... good question

TOWMN

@Bob yeah these full service airlines and their stupid policy of charging 4x the return fare if you try to buy a one-way single...

Bob

@TOWMN It's a diesel train, not electric, so ... harder to say. Well, diesel-electric. idk.

TOWMN

01:18

Except with air miles redemptions they charge 2x as much as a single for a return because they can scrounge more off you that way, but the upside is one way tickets on redemptions aren't ridiculously overpriced like one way cash tickets are

Bob

Now you have me curious. To the google!

TOWMN

@Bob most of our diesel electric trains have AC sockets now. All the refurbished ones do anyway, and most are being refurbished if not already done.

@Bob tbh the guide I read on seat 51 makes them look pretty old and basic...

Bob

@TOWMN They are. XPT trains are like 3 (4?) decades old.

@TOWMN Not back in 2005, anyway... railpage.com.au/f-p327228.htm

> The power on XPTs and Xplorers is from auxiliary alternators off the engines. The electrical equipment has to be either very simple such as vacuum cleaner motors or electric kettles, or specifically designed to operate off power supplies which experience variable voltage and frequency. (SRA lost some microwaves in the early days this way.)

TOWMN

@Bob :-O

Our HST 125's are just as old tbh

seat61.com/Australia.htm#Sydney-Melbourne-Canberra-Brisbane

XPT's are apparently the same locomotives as our HST 125's just with different gearing/wheels

And our HST 125 trains were all upgraded with power sockets a decade ago

Oh and yet another failing micro SD card. Urgh

Bob

@TOWMN tbf a decade ago is after 2005 :P

I wonder if desktop PSUs would fare better

@Bob wait that's perfect!

I'll bring my UPS along with me! It's got full undervoltage and overvoltage compensation and its super heavy so it'll take up lots of my luggage allowance!

Input voltage range 70-280v

Journeyman Geek

01:49

Oo

Journeyman Geek

02:00

@TOWMN batteries though. You want to check the regulations for... Er... SLA batteries?

Michael Frank

You guys ever had one of those computers that has just sat there, tucked away in a nook somewhere, running day in and day out. Simply going about it's business, whatever that happens to be. It's been going so long, nobody really knows what it does, but then you have a power outage and suddenly it's no longer running. Was it simply going because it was already going? Had it died long ago, but because it never stopped it didn't know?

Bob

@JourneymanGeek Oh yea. @TOWMN careful with luggage allowances on the train.

> You can take three pieces of luggage per seat booked. That's one item of hand luggage and two pieces that are either checked into the luggage compartment or stowed at the end of your carriage.

Journeyman Geek

@MichaelFrank yes.

Bob

> You can carry on one item of luggage such as a handbag, provided it weighs no more than five kilograms and no larger than 50cm long, 30cm high and 30cm wide.

> You can check in two items, each weighing between five and 20 kilograms and not more than 70cm long, 60cm high and 50cm wide.

@JourneymanGeek SLA is also iffy...

> Corrosives - acids, alkalis, mercury and wet cell batteries.

I mean... it is sealed... but who knows what they'll think.

Then again most people wouldn't realise UPSes have a battery. Maybe the xray.

Journeyman Geek

@Bob assuming it's that. Could also be gel.

Bob

02:05

@JourneymanGeek I suspect that still falls under "acid" :P

Oh apparently you can't take "Radioactive materials." on the train.

Journeyman Geek

Oh.

Journeyman Geek

Maybe claim the dogs were sniffing the meat to avoid deeper checks?

This is roughly the most hairbrained scheme.

Bob

02:13

@JourneymanGeek Because at the point where they have the suitcase open and can see the not suspicious at all meat, they're gonna just tell him to be on his way.

@JourneymanGeek Yea, was thinking of that, but then I realised (a) I don't have much transient data, (b) I have like 25 TB of free space on good drives, and (c) this drive's speeds are too inconsistent even on the good parts

Hello there.

^ Nice cosmo-dog...

And bear too.

I am looking for application that would switch system language depending on what website I am surfing on.

Is there such a thing?

bwDraco

roar

I know it's a bit early for me, but I'm here :-)

Boris_yo

@bwDraco What is you opinion on PATRIOT, PNY and TOSHIBA SSD drives?

bwDraco

Patriot and PNY, as far as I can tell, are both using Phison controllers for their recent SSDs. They're generally good; just pick the cheaper of them. Toshiba (and I'm going to assume the OCZ brand here) also makes good SSDs, but stay away from the TL100.

pcworld.com/article/3131529/storage/…

Boris_yo

@bwDraco I stayed away from OCZ. I heard how failing they are.

bwDraco

OCZ under Toshiba is better than they used to be. The VX500 is worth a shot; same goes for the RD400.

Boris_yo

11:58

So as far as PNY and Patriot using same controller, the only price difference is brand name ?

@bwDraco Samsung however beats them all?

bwDraco

@Boris_yo I'd have to dig deeper, but I think some use different NAND.

@Boris_yo Ultimate yes, but you do pay a premium for Samsung quality and performance.

The SSD 750 EVO is better than most entry-level SSDs, and the SSD 850 EVO is an excellent all-rounder especially at higher capacities. The 960 EVO is perhaps the best all-around NVMe SSD, while the 960 PRO is best for intensive workstation applications where maximum endurance and performance are needed (with a price tag to match)

bwDraco

Journeyman Geek

The latter seems good

Boris_yo

@bwDraco And when it comes to data integrity and reliability they still cannot recover as well as HDDs?

@Boris_yo This is ultimately the case for most SSDs. Can't really go into detail right now, though.

That Brazilian Guy

@Burgi I know the pain. And have made a resolution, next time it happens is either a "no" or "that will be twice the price".

@Rahul2001 Oh. I thought "asked her out" meant "on a date".

If you keep the current rate of a girlfriend per month, by the end of the year you'll have more ex-girlfriends than me.

So... Apparently my phone's battery died and I can only find replacements on ebay or on really shady local "shops".

Talent (measurement)

The talent (Latin: talentum, from Ancient Greek: τάλαντον, talanton 'scale, balance, sum') was one of several ancient units of mass, a commercial weight, as well as corresponding units of value equivalent to these masses of a precious metal. The talent of gold was known to Homer, who described how Achilles gave a half-talent of gold to Antilochus as a prize. It was approximately the mass of water required to fill an amphora. A Greek, or Attic talent, was 26 kilograms (57 lb), a Roman talent was 32.3 kilograms (71 lb), an Egyptian talent was 27 kilograms (60 lb), and a Babylonian talent was 30.3...

Q: How to correct 512-byte sector MBR on a 4096-byte sector disk?

Final update: I already knew what I needed to do to fix this problem; I just didn't know how to do it. I was hoping there would be some ready-made tool to do that automatically - but couldn't find any. I am accepting Rod's answer because despite not directly solving my issue, it gives a very goo...

> Until late 2009, the vast majority of hard disks used 512-byte sectors, and that was that. In late 2009, disk manufacturers began introducing so-called Advanced Format (AF) disks, which use 4096-byte sectors. These first AF disks (and, AFAIK, all AF disks today) present an interface to the computer that shows each 4096-byte physical sector as being split up into eight 512-byte logical sectors. This conversion enables older tools, including many BIOSes, that were built with 512-byte assumptions, to continue to work. I don't know if your disk uses AF or not, but in either case, it almost ce…
