How do you know if it's worth it to add new ram to existing or swap it out all together?

@northerner Depends

on how much ram you need

I tend to get the biggest sticks I can

so I just add

I heard it's bad to mix different RAM brands together

@northerner It can be suboptimal but it'll usually work and you just end up with a tradeoff of RAM speed vs capacity.

usually owrk with Intel*

AMD/Ryzen CPUs can be a bit fussier about RAM config :\

@northerner well its messy

basically you want similar ram for things like dual channel to work

and your ram is always as good as your 'worst' ram

Weird when I tried to put both types in the computer wouldn't turn on

could be a number of reasons for that.

@Burgi They've been there for a while

It's weird to see them

There's none up here

I only encountered them on my way to Sheffield

I've seen em on the M1 and M6.

Tis funny considering how far from any sea I am

woah chrome what's this 'send this to' button in my address bar

you still use chrome?

@JourneymanGeek well this chat.. (Lower half) chat.meta.stackexchange.com/transcript/89/2019/9/17/21-24

:(

I've been on Firefox on PC for a few months now. Finally made the switch on mobile too, earlier today.

@Burgi yes?

Hmmmm

I have a load of data

Group:Group, Group:Object

i.e. groups can contain groups, objects, or a mix of both

hell, they could even be recursive by accident.

I want to write some python to give me all the objects that a group contains, or all the groups a object is in...

chrome seems to make my PC crawl

@Burgi Not had any issues here with all sorts of hardware

i'm finding FF has a smaller footprint especially with many tabs

How many is 'many' btw

I have generally 8-20 open

but never much more than that.

I'm guessing this should all just be arrays?

Oh, did I mention the source data is a html doc?, it's all in a table within it.

Do I need to ping y'all ;)

@djsmiley2k 100+

ah

iiiiiiiiiinfact

I already have the data in a CSV :O

@Burgi That's one of their major selling points. Firefox uses a limited number of content processes (usually no more than 8, can be changed) to handle an arbitrary number of tabs. This uses less memory than having one process for each tab, regardless of how many tabs you have. It used to be the case that Firefox needed more memory per process but that's gotten much better lately.

@djsmiley2k HTML → sounds like a job for beautifulsoup

Taken with a Samsung Galaxy Note10+, telephoto lens, cropped and adjusted in Snapseed (thanks, S Pen!).

meow

Gotta love the neighborhood kitties.

yup

First time I've ever used Snapseed with the S Pen. It's a revelation.

Also, lighting wasn't great but the camera still pulled through (1/17s f/2.1 ISO 500).

@bertieb yah, cept I realised I have CSV already \o/

Ah, nice :)

Just waiting for pandas to finish installing and I can try importing the CSV :O

I'm not sure exactly how said CSV was created, but it'll do for now as I'm meant to be using it as the 'source' anyway, rather than using the HTML which is the actual source.

I've moved to generating using json as my storage format for things I used to use CSV (well, TSV) for

Fair dos

Yeah, I didn't generate this so.....

The firewall has a 'export to html' option, which generated a nice html file of all the rules, groups, objects, etc.

But parsing that is painful by hand.

If I can realitively quickly, get something up and running to do this for me, it'll be awesome.

Aye, figured, just a passing comment really- python's json lib is excellent

I seem to have misplaced my batteries

yah

So I am mouseless until i can find them, or the dongle for my other mouse

Which I unplugged recently

If I didn't have documentation showing me pandas, I'd be parsing into json i suspect

that's how I used to do stuff in PHP at old job.

I read that as mouthless

and was wondering what Maurice had gotten himself into this time

Aha! Found the dongle

How do you plan to talk, if you have no mouth?

I once again have a mouth

s/dongle/doggie.

Said the actress to the bishop.

(said Mike Tyson)

I would like to know where me batts are tho

I should still have a bunch of them

> It looks like you're trying to know where you batts are tho.

y tho.

Thanks for the help, Clippford

Yeah I'm sure I've brought like 48+ batteries from amazon, yet can't find any, anywhere :S

Same xD

Where are my batteries?

Hmmmm how did you activate clippy o_O

Whurr muh Umazon Basics

I would like to know where to find my batteries

Hahah, ah!

these be rechargables

they're all in kids toys.

litterally hundreds of kids toys

Oh gosh I bought rechargables too, didn't I

I remember asking Draco about them

What the fudge did I use those for?

Ohhh yeah, my flash gun

Also they're AA, I want AAA

If I were a battery, where would I be?

inside some device you rarely use.

hmmm I wanted AAA too, I found some inside the kids teapot

Good idea

But I want to know where the ones I bought are :P

WHIT

I bought some rechargable AAAs

But... why

And where

Oh right yeah, for me mum

@bertieb none of them

And you won't find them until you look for something else.

Correct!

@JourneymanGeek s/look.*/order some more/ ?

because that's what I ended up doing :D

It's both possible and indeed probable that I've used my supply up

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I imported the CSV and it is like yo I read this bad boy fine

Nice

got a weird one here:

according to microsoft there are no minutes in hours any more....

holy broken indenting ;D

Any of you used pandas?

@bertieb this feels like I should just make it into Json, for the ease of working with Json...

Pandas seems to be huge overkill, and simply 'selecting' a cell is actually not easy.

I have not used pandas I'm afraid

@djsmiley2k Might actually be helpful :D I'm not sure how well CSV maps to json tho

I asked that Q about Win10 per-app scaling btw, can link if anyone interested

@rahuldottech remember digispark?

(yes I pinged a 2 year old message)

@rahuldottech in case that ping doesn't go through

twitter.com/ihaveaprobIem/status/1178645613749182464

targeted phishing in the wild with netflix branding using digisparks

@Ave heh, yeah. I still use mine sometimes. (also, the ping went through :))

@rahuldottech I'll send one to a friend

@Ave Not surprising at all, really. They actually make for really great cheap rubber duckies.

I can get one here for ~$1

So... yeah

@bertieb I'm actually just about to ask a similar question

@rahuldottech Oh..?

@bertieb Yeah, so here's the thing. I need to scale some apps 125%, and I need to scale some apps 150%

I don't think this is possible, but...

Worth a shot, I guess

Ah right

Something something... app manifest?

I have no idea

docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/previous-versions/windows/desktop/…

Right now I have windows set up to scale everything 125%, and it's pretty okay, but the text in some apps is still too small

Hmm

Not sure

Clearly I don't know enough about scaling :P

thwup

So, uh

Why does my mouse have less range under Windows than Linux???

In Windows it only works when < ~10cm from the receiver 0_o

Otherwise it loses most movement/clicks

lol

@bertieb random guess (unlikely right) -> power saving enabled turning off the reciever ?

ffs

@djsmiley2k not sure, could check?

@Burgi ouch, what's that for?

cctv

IE11 is such a resource hog

and you can't fake it in edge either

@djsmiley2k actually, why would it then work at close range?

because it sends less power

something, something, inverse square

Oh, I thought smiley meant the receiver was being turned off

?!

@Bob keeps setting off my cameras

USB selective suspend setting

no wait, it's just randomly started working

@Burgi snekjy bob

do old wireless mice share the shame channels as a/b/g/n

?

2.4Ghz? yes

hell, my brand new keyboard is 2.4Ghz

(a doesn't use 2.4 afair, and neither does N I don't think).

but deffo b/g

your doorbell is 2.4Ghz

Is it just me, or does this "photo" looks more like a 3D render?

spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/aerospace/robotic-exploration/…

My doorbell is wired? D:

May it was wifi intereference?

@MichaelFrank yes

that's some funny looking rock if it's naturally got a bump map on it.

And that's no cotton seedling

clear the image is a fake lol

why are ieee even publishing it.

Here we go, these are what they actually look like: nbcnews.com/mach/science/…

Still not sure why they chose a render, or labelled it as photo.

SecretLab

Ty

Thinking of getting one? :D

Also, also

guess what I found?

that's a drawer I am in and out of most days

guess I drank the stupid juice today

So now I have three mice on my desk

Because there's no kill like overkill!

lol

Still want to know why the hecksauce the Logi one only works at very short range in Windows tho 🧐

I have an entire box of (maybe dead) mice at home.

Ah, cat presents

I have a bunch in a box that I occasionally take to Lidl to dispose of

Oh boy

I meant batteries

Full on herp

Got the herp, huh?

They probably have a cream for that.

I wish they did

I have been feeling especially stupid lately

First can't concentrate

Now making silly mistakes

It's not like me

Hopefully just a phase

> If you choose to live in rural US, you are signing up for this kind of lifestyle; you're on your own. As long as that's advertised I don't see a real problem. If you need health care then you should live near health care. Don't expect the same level of support in rural MN as you would get in NYC.

People who say stuff like this baffle me

Do they seriously not realize that everyone can't afford to move to and live in an urban city?

"if you need healthcare then you should live near healthcare"

Wtf
