As for me, I've never had to worry about overheating because my motherboard has an M.2 heatsink, beneath which my Samsung SSD 960 PRO is installed.

@bwDraco apparetly only works on systems with a spare x16 port and the ability to split lanes on the port

Yeah, no PLX switch on the card. It's meant for HEDT systems with PCIe bifurcation anyway.

That means either Intel X299 (with Skylake-X) or AMD X399.

You said you were planning to build a Threadripper system?

@JourneymanGeek how's the trip?

@bwDraco every time I see amd's new model numbers...

@Bob at a family function at the moment ;p

having proper internet is nice

tho lack of working smartphone twitch

I mean, I could run the jelly but...

@JourneymanGeek :(

and lol

I was going to wait for a op6, so this does need to get fixed

I feel you. Remember what happened when my Nexus 5X stopped working?

I think someone is trying to hack into my Instagram account

Haha Instagram's address is 1 Hacker Way...

Is the reset link in the email legitimate?

If so, then Instagram has detected repeated failed login attempts. If not, you have a phishing email.

k, reverted from the latest Windows Insider build back to v1709, and now I can't start Windows Defender, nor can I install Bitdefender

@FMLCat forum.xda-developers.com/…

@allquixotic uhhhh yea, insiders on prod isn't the ... best of ideas :P

@allquixotic do you have backups?

or you could try doing an upgrade install to 1709 on top of the existing one

Hm

@JourneymanGeek hm?

hm. I think I'm gonna wait for S9 release (Note9?) before trying to update my phone again. looks like the root process changed again... at least if I brick it then, I can switch to a new phone. win!

!!/obeytheschnauzer

Can't type on tiny phone :p

On the jelly. Everything is timy

:(

!!/will

@bwDraco That didn't make much sense. Use the !!/help command to learn more.

!!will

@bwDraco All signs point to yes

lol

!!will

@bwDraco Not at all

!!/error

@Bob fixed with a reboot \o/

@bwDraco that's the wall paper on my spare smartphone

@allquixotic :D

TIL the "power saver" power plan makes Windows very aggressive with core parking:

Windows practically shuts down the entire second CCX (and possibly more) under near-idle conditions.

> But I've never seen the Icarus story as a lesson about the limitations of humans. I see it as a lesson about the limitations of wax as an adhesive.

and the oddities of aircurrents

lol

NOD32 is kind of annoying with it's untrusted certificate warnings...

huarghgg

so opened up the dishwasher again

found the base was flooded

the pump wasn't on properly from me cleaning it out yesterday D:

wasn't too bad

the antiflood thing kicked it and turned the machine off

so sorted that now, running it again and it's actually running for once!, so hopefully it'll drain properly too

atm we've just got the drainage pipe going into the sink lol

I do all the washing by hands...

And sometimes it's good meditation.

But sometimes it's annoying.

nod

wife hates washing up

but also is really anal about it, and anyone who doesn't do it right just gets her raging

@FleetCommand Have you tried adding 50ml of elbow grease?

use hotter water

When something does not come off I get angry and add 100ml of elbow grease.

Hulk adds 10L of elbow grease when angry.

lol

uargh

got drainage water in my ear (don't ask!)

sooooooooooooo the offical documetnation for our dishwasher says the errors we were getting were due to 'high water level' -- wonderful how it didn't tell us it also meant the base was flooded.

it's draining! \o/ it's not gone wrong!

hmmmmmmmmmmm

it went wrong -_-

but maybe because the sink is too high up

I'm trying to find a relationship between a four-digit hex number and a file. Is there any kind of program that'd try different things automatically?

I'm not sure what youre even asking

Its probably a silly question.

What sort of relationship?

I'm guessing that the number might be a checksum of the file, or an ID that is stored in the file.

It might not be though.

Start from the beginning- where did you get the number, and where did you get the file?

It probably won't help, but they are level files from a video game, and the numbers are used as filenames

I used this (gchq.github.io/CyberChef) to generate a bunch of hashes, but it didn't help

There may or may not be a relationship between the filenames and their content

The filenames may be mapped to ids stored elsewhere

Yeah, Its very likely.

@Hiccup GCHQ?

That's what it says :P

It'd also be interesting to know if there was a program that could interpret a string as many different dates formats, so you could pick out ones which could be correct. example situation you know the date is in 2017, but you don't know the date format.

like 2017-01-02

and you don't know if ithat's 2nd of jan, or 1st of feb?

like its a really obscure date format, but probably a known one, and you have no idea how to interpret it, but you know its probably from a certain year

i feel like i've used a tool that did that

you gave it a string and it gave you the possible conversions

"searching" haha

999+++++++++999

@djsmiley2k 2.1 again? :P

not even sure, cat i think

cat-like typing detected

you say

!!cat

hmmm

how do you convert a drum's impact, into g-forces :/

@djsmiley2k For the purposes of scientific research? Designing a robot? Getting your neighbour served an ASBO?

Ah hmm

Ask that Q on physics.SE, follow-up question about interaction of g-forces with sensitive motor/readhead on electronics.SE; then finally post an answer?

;D

It'd take 13.5Kg of force, over 2ms

welp, I asked on physics ;D

I'm starting to get tired of the USB 3.0 to 2.0 adapter. The sleeving on the 3.0 side is loose and the soldering quality isn't the best. I had to detach the 2.0 end a bit earlier to test the (only) USB 2.0 header on the motherboard, which serves only a single port. (At least I've verified that it operates.)

It does look like that as long as I don't manipulate it too much, it should hold up for the life of the system.

amazon.com/dp/B00E42A4L0

Is this the one you've got?

Yeah.

Is it not just connected to a case port? why is it getting manipulated at all?

Just some cable routing work.

It works now and AFAICT none of the wiring is damaged in any meaningful way but this leaves me a bit concerned.

just don't touch it

you seem to be in that common thing that people get with new toys, where they keep prodding it

that's my only advice, and don't get whatever illness this is !
