[00:36] diddledan, you can geek out.. https://www.youtube.com/c/Megaprocessor [00:38] m0nkey_: nice! [00:38] I love that it's using up space in his lounge [00:39] I get the feeling the guy isn't married [00:39] lol [02:32] does this count as a detailed-enough bug report? https://github.com/aspnet/Security/issues/892 === funkyHat1 is now known as funkyHat === mappps is now known as mapps === shock is now known as Guest55435 [06:41] morning all [07:07] Morning all [07:21] morning boys and girls. [08:03] morning [08:05] morning all [08:08] *snore* [08:17] :) [08:17] g'day [08:37] \o [08:38] huzzah, a new motherboard for my old core 2 quad desktop [09:05] Good morning all! Happy Wednesday, and happy International Kissing Day! 😘 [09:06] oh my [09:10] JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sACxVMl9_xE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNDcJAC7QW8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diKz9udywg4 [09:10] JamesTait: lots of kisses there :D [09:11] * TwistedLucidity backs away from JamesTait slowly.... [09:12] 😘 [09:16] Get a room you two [09:19] an irc channel _is_ a room... [09:20] get a private chat you guys [10:02] yay the old desktop lives again! [10:02] guess i better reserve judgement 'til after a bit more testing mind [10:03] The flames are just the new "Turbo-Boost" feature [10:04] is there burn in software for linux? [10:09] i used to play with cpuburn for CPU load, but i don't think it compared to prime95 [10:10] hmm this one can't handle 1066MHz either [10:10] i used to use software on windows to test, cpu, ram, harddisk, sound, video, network for x number of hours depending on how much i didn't trust a system before sending it out the door [10:11] ah, well i'm just using memtest right now since i know this RAM had trouble running the full 1066MHz across 4 x 2GB modules before [10:16] zmoylan-pi: fwts, stress-ng [10:16] * zmoylan-pi goes to check davmor2's suggestions... ta [10:18] nothing like digging through spec sheets to confirm memory timings, none of this easy peasy modern eXtended Memory Profile (XMP) malarkey! === funkyHat2 is now known as funkyHat [14:33] haha: http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/07/04/huawei-publishes-implied-p9-camera-sample-but-exif-data-reveals-4500-camera-took-it/ [14:53] whaddawewant? CAKE! whendawewannit? NOW! [14:53] ok, if you insist [14:53] * diddledan wanders off to find cake [14:56] diddledan: Bring enough for everyone! [14:56] :-p [14:58] what mozilla don't want you to do, is inverse that percentage to figure-out just how many ARE using Chrome: https://twitter.com/mozhacks/status/750705252291059714 [15:01] OMG [15:01] How? [15:03] I think that question requires a subject [15:03] https://twitter.com/mozhacks/status/750705252291059714 [15:03] o_O [15:03] err yes, but what are you asking "how" about it? [15:04] are they all using Chrome? [15:04] yes they are [15:04] AS their main browser? [15:05] define "main browser" in relation to statistics gathered from sites running analytics aggregation on their traffic [15:06] you can't determine "this person uses chrome only" from statistics of useragents visiting sites. you CAN determine the amount of traffic [15:07] of all the traffic visiting the sites that are included in the survey x% of unique visits will be from chrome [15:08] therefore you can extrapolate that the same x% of people are using chrome to generate those unique visits [15:08] hmmm [15:08] OK, makes sense. [15:13] https://twitter.com/iamdevloper/status/694848050796212224 [15:15] I've moved back to FF for the last month or so [15:17] i currently use ff, opera, midori, opera mini on android and java phone [15:54] OMG(ubuntu)! http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/07/linux-marketshare-reaches-2-percent [15:57] also mozilla servo browser is nightly-building now: https://servo.org/ [16:05] zmoylan-pi: any joy with either of those? [16:08] i'm gonna hopefully find time this weekend to run them on a lenovo laptop that is misbehaving [16:13] zmoylan-pi: be surprised if Lenovo doesn't have a decent amount of BIOS tests [16:13] it passed those fine last time i tried them [16:15] ah [16:17] with the windows burnin software i had one hp system that would only start to flake out after 6+ hours... had to film the bugger to convince hp to replace it. was tempted to make them watch whole 6 hour movie [16:17] =] [16:19] any thoughts on a good way to pull a little 8 legged BIOS chip without a proper tool? [16:27] i always had the proper chip pulling tool to hand... i did see my boss flip them out with a flat screwdriver but he had done that millions of times and was sure of exactly how much pressure/force to use [16:28] mmm, this new board of mine is quite funky - have you heard of this before? if it loses mains power, it won't boot - the backup kicks in and runs a recovery utility [16:28] gigabyte? [16:28] yet it'll flash over fine and be updated ok, just can't retain the data [16:28] hehe knew someone would guess that, but nope Asus! [16:28] some sort of board meant as a server? [16:28] I thought dual bios was patented to gigabyte o_O [16:29] https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5Q_Deluxe/ [16:29] not 'DieHard BIOS'! [16:29] :D [16:29] ♪ the bios came back the very next boot... ♫ [16:30] XD [16:30] I thought it was a goner ~ [16:30] :-) [16:31] links to the cat came back... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bETCusT5kNM [16:31] i'll probably have to pull the whole board to get a good angle on this little sucker [16:32] I think I managed to kill my asus rampage ii gene mobo [16:32] :( how's that? [16:32] I _think_ a fan header "got shorted" while powered and blew something [16:32] no magic smoke though so [16:32] it won't turn-on now [16:33] aww [16:33] there's some power applied though, in that some leds will illuminate [16:33] i'm annoyed at how subtle this old system's one died [16:33] ah yeah [16:34] i get total spin up but no POST [16:35] bbiab [20:16] wow, you were all talkative while I was gone [20:17] i whispered [20:18] we were talking about you in the #nodiddledan channel... :-P [20:19] shhh don't give the name away! [20:19] diddledan: type /clear please [20:20] bum [20:20] I been messing with .net stuffs - sue me! [20:20] https://github.com/aspnet/Docs/pull/1613 [20:21] why? your punishment is that you are messing with .net [20:22] diddledan: my my, there's someone posting as you with your pic and everything! [20:22] :D [20:22] :-p [20:24] anyone wanna come to my old graphics cards funeral? [20:25] aww it died? :-( [20:25] nah, just seems the banana-ness is the culprit for the unreliable old PC of mine [20:26] so more of a 'refuses to die' [20:26] or is it egyptian funeral were the servants got chucked in alive with dead pharoh. chucking in old video card with dead motherboard? :-P [20:26] well since discovering this, the board may end up being ok, so i'm going to throw some other bits on it and see what it does [20:26] it's all been a bit of a mess this problem solver :( [20:27] regardless of all of it, i'm glad i built new [20:27] ah come to think of it, there's no way the graphics card could have stopped the chipset from seeing one SATA port, so maybe it wasn't that simple [20:27] try checking the network wiring of a _huge_ building and getting wierd results all day only to find your boss wandering into the comms room and changing cables at random for no logical reason... [20:28] i'm impressed you're not telling us about that one from prison [20:28] hope you got your own back :> [20:28] who says i've finished getting them back? :-P [20:29] :D [20:29] sure i sent him to an important meeting with muppet hand. he spilled super glue on his hand and i gave him cheap pink toiler roll to wipe it off... [20:30] shoulda poured feathers over it [20:30] a big pink fluffy hand was good enough [20:30] https://www.dropbox.com/s/816txb5z19hwbjx/IMG_20160622_172114.jpg?dl=0 [20:31] there's me 'nana (down diddledan!) [20:31] whathefer! [20:31] that's bendy! [20:31] yep, i've no idea what's even inducing the stress [20:32] sorry [20:32] :D [20:32] it's quite stressful to know me [20:32] sure i spent a few months vncing into his system and moving his mouse a few mm when he went to click on his first program of the day so it fired up a huge slow memory hogging app instead [20:32] lmao [20:33] I always hated that with a new ubuntu where libreoffice write was right-next-to firefox [20:33] and moving his pc so his keyboard was always a few inches too short to type comfortably on [20:34] putting bt on every device he owned to on so we could detect him moving about the building [20:34] filling every usb drive he had with important looking files [20:35] if i ever used my powers for non evil the world would be a wonderful place :-P [20:35] some silly person has signed up to a bunch of "make money by doing surveys" websites using my email [20:35] :( [20:36] ali1234: I feel for you :-( those companies sell the information a LOT [20:36] well they don't have my information [20:36] just my email address with the wrong name lol [20:36] they have your email [20:37] everyone has my email [20:37] which means you'll be getting more crud [20:37] i use gmail, it doesn't matter [20:37] but the survey emails are legit so they get though [20:38] add a filter to mute them [20:38] i feel kind of sorry for this person :/ [20:39] don't, i've had folks across the US with the same first initial as my first name and same surname send me all kinds of crap [20:39] they gave out your email address to shysters... they deserve to... be forced to use ie [20:39] one only stopped doing it when i reset her etailer account, cancelled her orders and locked her out [20:39] they're signing up for websites to get literally pennies [20:39] they must be desperate for money [20:39] i just googled the name... arrested for possession of drugs in 2013 [20:39] or dumb and looking for quick money and get sucked in by the advertising [20:40] they signed up for like four different survey sites within a few hours [20:40] and got the email address wrong every time [20:43] hopefully thet reregistered with the right address afterwards [20:45] mrs d. aftykins? [20:46] exactly [20:46] or mrs danielle kins, mr. daniel kins, mr. duane kins... etc [20:47] * zmoylan-pi remembers frank drebin explaining that he went by his maiden name and looks to copy naked gun movies for watching... [21:11] [21:23] man i detest that guy [21:28] that's somewhat unkind [21:29] you can always mute him if they annoy you [21:36] then the nick changes to the device of the week ;) [21:36] * zmoylan-pi looks at the pi at end of my nick... [21:37] consistently pi! [21:38] but when i first used irc it would change as i moved between android phones, iphones, symbian phones and tablets and laptops. now it's just pi and occasionly nok for ancient dumbphone when i'm out and about [21:38] kinda what my point is there, habit of days past [21:38] blank message on join as well is just ugh [21:39] * Zmo-302 waves to channel... o/ [21:40] http://i.imgur.com/C16beUI.jpg odd chip on this nvidia 560Ti [21:42] is that not just a heat conducting cover for the radiator/fan to link to? [21:42] daftykins: there's an impressive lack of marking on that package [21:42] i just cleaned it with IPA [21:42] it might be a heatspreader, yeah [21:42] I mean writing [21:43] oh there is a little, super faint though even to the naked eye [21:43] identifiers [21:43] aah [21:45] dell putting prices up 10% post brexit [21:45] ooh err [21:45] i was about to get someone a laptop too [21:46] haha oops they're all gone from the outlet pages anyway [21:46] well if they voted leave charge them higher price than if they voted remain... :-P [21:47] should be no change here, we weren't in to begin!
