@StrixVaria You can. They all have an id attribute.

They are just not linked on the site.

and WHY does Hawken say that remaining download is xxxx.92MB

5pike

Mhh... kalina being a mod... why does this remind me of The age of Fire from Dark Souls?

Meraj99

And why does everyone have 50+ish internet? I have 8 :(

Meraj99

Kevin van der Velden

Except me, my internet is awesome at home =]

Meraj99

@KevinvanderVelden Wait, you can have 50+ish internet at work? o_O

Kevin van der Velden

@Meraj99 uuh jeah, that's kinda expected for large companies

Private Pansy

I have 0 internets at work! Ahaha, beat that! oh god somebody help me

Kevin van der Velden

Huh, my internet at work is crappier than my internet at home

Meraj99

Can someone tell me some really bad things about Hawken? I can't wait to play it, but the download is too slow.... so... I need to get the hype down :D

My home internet defies belief

@KevinvanderVelden You're download is slower on wireless?

Blem

@KevinvanderVelden I am looking for a new place to live, I will be missing that connection

Meraj99

@KevinvanderVelden And does that matter if you have wireless and ethernet connected? :P

Kevin van der Velden

@Meraj99 no, my internet DL is at the maximum throughput of my wireless

So increasing my internet DL won't work without putting wires down, which can't be done cause the place I live in is ancient and has way to large concrete slabs for ceilings

Meraj99

@KevinvanderVelden ...

Does your internet speed get slower if you have BOTH Wireless and Ethernet connected? :P

Kevin van der Velden

12:28

@Meraj99 actual throughput = min( internet throughput, wireless throughput ) = min( ~120, ~100 )

@Meraj99 no, but not faster either unless windows get's confused

Or you mess with your network infrastructure, which is possible but not easy

Meraj99

@KevinvanderVelden How do I confuse it?

Kevin van der Velden

@Meraj99 by enabling to network interfaces into the same network

That can theoretically confuse it and cause it to panic and slow things down

It doesn't do usually

Meraj99

@KevinvanderVelden But I want it to speed things up x3

Kevin van der Velden

Oh wait I typed that wrong, it's neither slower nor faster by default

But it's slower if windows get's confused

Meraj99

Hawken is stuck on xxxx.92MB left, and is downloading 10 times slower... problem?

5pike

@Meraj99 DL server sucks?

@StrixVaria Congratulations! That's my sister's birthday.

Arperum

@Meraj99 If the Hawken server is overloaded from people trying to download the game, that'll be the result.

StrixVaria

@FAE Thanks!

Meraj99

@Arperum It's Hawken...

@Arperum and still in beta too.

3ventic

12:35

So their download server might not be awesome yet

Arperum

@StrixVaria adds more congratulations If you ever end up in Belgium I'll get you something.

StrixVaria

@Arperum Didn't you already get me Starbound?

3ventic

Last save wipe in Starbound this week, yay

Arperum

@Meraj99 If they have a max upload speed of ~100MBps and 1000 people try to download it everyone gets 0.1MBps at best. probably less.

3ventic

Hopefully

Arperum

12:37

@StrixVaria That didn't count! Unrelated and such.

StrixVaria

@3ventic Oh cool, that means I can start playing it.

3ventic

@StrixVaria Yup. I already played it through once before the first wipe so I hope there's more interesting content now

Arperum

It got removed from my account :( Because the jerk I traded with gave me a humble key gotten thorugh credit card fraud.

Whenever someone pings me here, the other chat tab gets the "sound playing here" icon in my Chrome...

That's very annoying

StrixVaria

@FAE Welp.

kalina

12:41

@3ventic EL&U for me

Kevin van der Velden

@3ventic DMZ for me at home, it also gets the icon for desktop notifications from DMZ

3ventic

I wonder if it changes if I change the order in which the tabs are..

probably not

I think it does actually play the sound in that other room too

RhysW

@3ventic its because chat messages beep in every room

3ventic

@RhysW but it doesn't show the icon in the room where the ping is

FAE

@StrixVaria ?

StrixVaria

12:44

@FAE We had a vacation planned for July but plans have changed.

RhysW

@3ventic huh, maybe it does only beep in the one you were last in then, cant say ive investigated it actually

StrixVaria

We might try to do something earlier than that I guess.

But there's a lot of stuff to save money for now.

kalina

@3ventic order the windows are opened (and thus, order the stuff that results in the notifiers starts)

3ventic

@RhysW That doesn't seem to matter either, it only shows it in the other tab, no matter the order or which tab I have or had last active

@kalina This makes sense

RhysW

@kalina This sounds most likely

kalina

12:45

only one window checks for notifications

FAE

@StrixVaria Yeah, understandable. I wish you both the best!

kalina

that's the window the sounds plays it, and that's the window that spawns the notification windows

@3ventic

RhysW

@3ventic shame on me, ping you twice

Meraj99

Is a game outdated if some FAQ pages have 2012 copyright on the bottom? o. o

3ventic

Okay

StrixVaria

12:46

@FAE Thanks! It's pretty exciting/terrifying.

Arperum

@Meraj99 Copyright notices say nothing.

3ventic

@Meraj99 possibly, but unlikely

kalina

@Meraj99 how do you mean? Having an old copyright notice doesn't really make the game out dated

RhysW

@3ventic Is the hypothesis confirmed? :D

3ventic

@RhysW Possibly

3ventic

You're the third one I've seen getting flagged for their own content

GnomeSlice

12:58

That was in the loops class though, so maybe we didn't actually have license to use the loops.

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice did you sign over the copyright?

@GnomeSlice hmm maybe, depends on how you transformed it (transformative use is fair use I believe)

3ventic

depends

GnomeSlice

They claimed it at 0:41

Maybe it's the morse code sound for the satellite?

Should I dispute it?

@GnomeSlice I'd say yes.

Note: I didn't actually listen to it. AT work and such.

@OrigamiRobot Your parents sent him to live on a farm out in the country where he can run free all day . . . .

Unionhawk

Fuck copyright trolls, man

GnomeSlice

I'm pretty sure they don't own any of the stuff in this, but who knows.

Unionhawk

They probably don't.

GnomeSlice

This is all space shit my professor provided.

3ventic

13:13

The content ID system is a bit trigger-happy

GnomeSlice

Well should I dispute it then or just delete it

I don't want my account terminated.

Unionhawk

No clue.

3ventic

It depends how much you care about the video

Unionhawk

Is it being claimed just as a claim? Like, they're putting their ads on the video?

3ventic

Failed dispute is pretty bad though

Arperum

13:13

@KevinvanderVelden Yea, I removed that one, I was talking about the interesting place.

GnomeSlice

Deleting it apparently counts as acknowledging it.

sigh

Unionhawk

13:18

Basically, from what I understand, the content-ID system is trigger-happy because there's some peoples out there who just decide to claim shit they don't own. And they get away with it because the dispute process is too scary.

GnomeSlice

It is scary!

David M

Apart from some sort of Youtube sanctions, what does the dispute process do to you? They have to prove that you got a monetary benefit for there to be any actual damages to be collected.

Unionhawk

You get a copyright strike, potentially, if you fail an appeal. 3 of those, or maybe just one of those, if they decide, and your account is done.

GnomeSlice

Submitting fraudulent disputes can get your youtube account terminated

3ventic

3 copyright strikes and your account is suspended

Martin Sojka

13:21

And so I stopped uploading stuff to YouTube.

Unionhawk

It's "potential immediate termination" scary.

3ventic

a failed dispute results in a copyright strike

David M

Myeh . . . make a new account.

3ventic

You can appeal copyright strikes, though, but it's not very easy

Unionhawk

Easy to say for someone like @GnomeSlice, maybe.

GnomeSlice

13:21

@DavidM There go all my favourites, playlists, subscriptions, etc.

David M

@GnomeSlice True

3ventic

@DavidM It only really affects those with monetized videos and you only really monetize videos if you have an audience. That audience is easily lost with a new account

David M

But, we're talking major pain in the ass. Not multimillion dollar settlement.

@3ventic That was the point I was making.

Martin Sojka

Yeah, if you really need to upload to YouTube, just make throwaway accounts for that.

David M

@GnomeSlice Did you do a TinEye search on the video to see if it matches anything else?

GnomeSlice

13:24

Unionhawk

Yeah, Dear YouTube: Take care of your content creators, dammit. Thanks!

GnomeSlice

@Unionhawk I'm not asking anyone. They should just stop with the stupid change the obfuscation.

Jefffrey

@Unionhawk, at this point I think that doing a little bit of trading with villagers will yield you a much bigger amount of iron

They should just stop making changes to MC and make something new

Jefffrey

@GnomeSlice they are

but they are also breaking things

GnomeSlice

Except they're still making changes to MC.

I never used iron golem farms, I just dislike it where thezy keep adding stuff to make automation easier, and then remove some other part that breaks automation again.
