00:16 * Filly_Nightmares suckles on Schism

00:25 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Drawfriend Stuff (Pony Art Gallery) #3306 [ http://tinyurl.com/sc7voss ]

00:31 <PinkieShy> Its getting cold fast outside :D

00:39 * Ali flops over PinkieShy

00:39 <PinkieShy> suppose to be like 39 tonight

00:39 <PinkieShy> right when it was like 87F yesterday afternoon..

00:49 <PinkieShy> The weather must be doing the chacha slide

00:58 * Schism dangles 200 Ovim Fleece over Lumindia.

01:00 * Ali noms Schism's goods

01:01 <Ali> A little bland, needs more salt

01:04 * Cepheid awakens.

01:04 <Schism> Phreeeow.

01:08 <Ali> So my question of the day

01:08 <Ali> Why does everything assume that you have a phone/tablet for apps

01:08 <Ali> I mean I /have/ a tablet, but since its like 5 years old its bricked due to apple

01:09 <Ali> And I mean the headset didn't even come with a proper instruction booklet on how to use the thing

01:09 *** Joins: DBB (DataByteBro@Pony-n2jldc.e8tt.q24m.0242.2601.IP)

01:09 <Ali> Just a 40 page thick thing telling you to sign up for the bose app in 70 different languages.

01:12 *** Quits: DataByte (DataByteBro@Pony-n2jldc.e8tt.q24m.0242.2601.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

01:18 <Cepheid> Because at the time of design, tablets were probably considerably more common among the general public than laptops or PCs.

01:24 <Ali> Cepheid, its the bose 700

01:24 <Ali> Its like the newest one

01:24 <Cepheid> Yeah, and tablets are still pretty commonplace these days.

01:25 <Ali> I know, but I hate it when they presume everyone is into the whole have a cellphone on you thing

01:25 <Cepheid> Though, to be honest, with iPads, it might be due to the lack of audio connectors.

01:25 <Ali> I've got it to work without having to app it, but its a bit annoying

01:25 <Ali> Cepheid, its an ipad2

01:25 <Ali> Its older than dirt and the app doesn't support it.

01:25 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Top 10 Pony Videos of March 2020  [ http://tinyurl.com/w2rngfb ]

01:25 <Cepheid> So the software is probably designed to help with configuring bluetooth.

01:26 <Ali> Yeah it has bluetooth

01:26 <Cepheid> I wasn't talking about your iPad Ali.

01:26 <Ali> Though I can't get it to connect to the PC other than the aux jack

01:26 <Ali> I mean the PC notices it when its plugged in, but after that its like huh what headphones.

01:27 <Ali> I'm also glad to no longer need batteries for it.  Though the two cables they gave me with it are laughable

01:27 <Ali> They're like TWO INCHES long

01:27 <Cepheid> I wouldn't really recommend bluetooth anyways for audio.  For music especially, it can affect the quality, unless it has a lossless codec.  And last I checked, none of the known codecs for bluetooth are lossless.

01:27 <Cepheid> Yeah I have one of those cables too.

01:28 <Ali> I'm using my old aux cable cause they actually reach to the pc without my head being stuck next to it.

01:28 <Cepheid> Hum, so no batteries for a pair of headphones that are noise cancelling?  How'd they do that?

01:29 <Ali> Dunno, it runs on a recharagable pack

01:29 <Ali> Can last up to 20 hours on one charge

01:29 <Ali> Saves me from having them from derping out at a bad time and have to dig a battery out

01:30 <Ali> Just the one sad thing is the only charge thru USB

01:30 <Cepheid> Oh, that.

01:30 <Ali> Trust me, I hate having to carry around an extra AAA just in case the set burned out

01:30 <Cepheid> Might be able to get away with using a wall charger.  Lemme look into it.

01:30 <Ali> But if I didn't, oh how I'd suffer

01:31 <Ali> Well the old Ipad2 had an adapter for USB to outlet

01:31 <Ali> But its interesting to see how noise canceling has changed from the old pair

01:31 <Ali> Like you know how much louder my PC is now that its running full blast?

01:31 *** Joins: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-u30cht.dynamic.sonic.net)

01:32 <Ali> Yeah the headset can completely knock out the computer's fans

01:32 <Ali> Don't hear them running at all

01:34 <Cepheid> Hum, so USB-C connector on the headphones themselves.  That's of note, because if you want a longer cable you'll need to check the cables you research carefully.

01:36 *** Quits: Dranae (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher) (Connection closed)

01:36 <Ali> What does that mean Cepheid

01:37 <Ali> I don't know the grades of USB

01:37 <Cepheid> It's less a problem with USB-C and more a problem with manufacturers.

01:38 <Cepheid> USB-C cables are required by the spec to have a 56kOhm resistor in them.  That said, manufacturers realized that devices still work just fine without the resistor.  Or so they thought.

01:39 <Cepheid> You remember a few years back the controversy of Nintendo Switch units suddenly bricking?  The cause was bad cables.  The manufacturers were removing the resistor and that can damage the electronics.

01:39 <Ali> Ok?

01:40 <Ali> Think Factorio would be possible tonight?

01:41 <Cepheid> So when you go looking for a USB-A to USB-C cable, make sure it has that 56kOHm resistor in it.  Many manufacturers write a guarantee on the packaging or product description to that effect these days to avoid problems.

01:41 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm in a mood for something different, so I'll hop on tonight.  I'm just in my morning routine right now.

01:41 <Ali> So I have the old Ipad 2's usb wall connector

01:41 <Schism> This is not the worst coffee I've ever made.

01:41 <Cepheid> That should work.

01:42 <Ali> But since that thing is about 5-7 years old, not sure if a USB C would be wise to go thru it.  Ok

01:42 <Cepheid> Manual doesn't make explicit reference to any specific type or electrical details required for it.  Any USB-A charger for tablets and phones should work.

01:43 <Ali> Huh

01:44 <Schism> Medicine taken...

01:45 <Cepheid> There tends to be a rough standard for chargers and their outputs.  And the ones with fast charging capability tend to be equipped with electronics to check if they should use the fast charging or not.

01:46 <Cepheid> Also before you ask Schism, no, Square hasn't gotten back to me yet.  As a result I likely won't hear anything until next week now.

01:46 <Schism> Blast it all.

01:46 <Schism> That's fine, I figured.

01:52 <Cepheid> So of interest with respect to the coughing.  I know it's not an infection in my chest.

01:56 <Cepheid> ...  This could be difficult.  Top case fans have a huge cooler in the way.  Might make these clips hard to put in.

02:00 <Cepheid> That wasn't too bad.

02:05 <Cepheid> ...  Okay, this will be hard.

02:05 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #2127 [ http://tinyurl.com/yx4hpgyu ]

02:07 <Cepheid> This just isn't hard.  Its impossible.  Okay the motherboard. has to co e out

02:09 <PinkieShy> Had Totino's pizza brand tonight for dinner :#

02:09 <PinkieShy> That cheap end pizza is surprisingly better than little cesars lol

02:09 <Ali> They're only good for pizza rolls

02:10 <PinkieShy> I had the rectangle pizza from them

02:10 <PinkieShy> That was chruncy, Barely no sauce there and it was perfection! :D

02:12 *** Joins: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-3au6hd.tpgi.com.au)

02:20 <PinkieShy> I mean perfection for its price.

02:26 <Cepheid> Meanwhile...  I can't use these mounts on the front fans at all.

02:26 <PinkieShy> Told my dog when i took him out that I need a jacket lol

02:27 <PinkieShy> Its that cold out there.. Pretty sure if weather keeps this up and i don't use a jacket.. I'll get sick

02:27 <Cepheid> Hmm...  Maybe id...

02:29 <Ali> PinkieShy, its 43F here right now

02:29 <PinkieShy> Same oddly enough

02:29 <PinkieShy> Going from 87F to 43F in just the matter of a day.. Isn't good at all

02:32 <Cepheid> For these fans I'll need rubber spacers.

02:33 <Ali> PinkieShy, its normal

02:33 <Ali> Its just a boundry on a strong cold front

02:33 <Ali> Happens all the time

02:46 <Cepheid> Asus, with all due respect your engineers are great at cooling, but bless their harts they have rocks for brains when it comes to lighting.  One of the lighting panels partially blocks a motherboard screw.

02:53 <Cepheid> I don't know what's wrong with Spitfire, but he keeps bolting everywhere.

02:58 <Ali> Cat be cating

02:59 <Cepheid> Well, looks like I got lucky this time around with reseating the front fans.  They don't make any vibrational tone noise anymore.

03:01 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, the back fan is still making that tonal noise.  Even though it's on rubberized mounts.  Of course.

03:02 <Ali> Of course

03:02 <Cepheid> And now the front ones *ARE* making the tonal noise.  Guh.

03:10 <Cepheid> Schism, good news!

03:11 <Schism> You've discovered a new material which is both flammable and inflammable?

03:12 <Cepheid> Token's been taken off my account.

03:12 * Ali noms Cepheid's tokens

03:13 <Schism> Ah, sublime.

03:13 <Schism> If I ever get a token on mine, I'll be doing it by paying Squeenix $15 for the keyfob.

03:13 <Cepheid> You know, I think I'll do just that.

03:13 <Cepheid> Software ones are great and all, but... yeah.

03:13 <Schism> Yeah, that happens.

03:17 <Cepheid> Hum, I should see if, while I'm making the order, there is anything else I might want off their store.  Doubt it.

03:17 <Schism> Aside from the Fat Cat mount, there's probably not a whole lot.

03:17 <Schism> And $24 is a bit much for that thing.

03:18 <Cepheid> Nah, the tokens are through their physical store, not mog station.

03:18 <Cepheid> In any case, nothing I want from their physical store.  At least, nothing FF14-themed.

03:18 <Schism> Oh, yeah.

03:19 <Schism> Where was I... ah, yes.  1x Oddly Specific Cotton, to replace the one the RNG stole from me.

03:19 <Cepheid> But yeah, just keep this token attached to my keyring.  I lose my keys on occasion, but because of their importance, I always find them, and they're not something I'll lose just because I upgraded a phone.

03:19 * Schism nodnods.

03:20 <Cepheid> I really wish FF14's patcher had a bandwidth limiter.

03:20 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'll download things faster at 15MiB/sec, but then I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE.

03:21 * Ali would never buy things from the gimmick store

03:21 <Cepheid> I've purchased items from decorative stores.

03:23 <Cepheid> Anyways, BRB.  Cleanup downstairs.  I made a mess.

03:23 <Ali> For real money?  No thanks

03:23 <Ali> And Trust me, the WoW store is stupid on the cost of its items

03:23 <Schism> We knew that from the moment the sparklepony arrived.

03:24 <Schism> Lessee... ah, right, X'doremi has my extra sparkling water.

03:25 <Cepheid> Well, in this case, it's purely cosmetics.  Very little in the way of "play to win."

03:25 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Open Art - Kirin Day Edition!  [ http://tinyurl.com/sy27t7k ]

03:25 <Cepheid> I think at one point there was a "play to win" item, but it was more a "catch up so you can play this expansion item" and was only offered for a short time?

03:30 <Ali> WoW's is cosmetic too

03:30 <Ali> But $15-25 USD for a cosmetic item is just....why?

03:30 *** Quits: Pony|64065 (Pony64065@Pony-i454b4.cable.virginm.net) (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)

03:31 <Schism> There are items which can get a character class up to 60/70/whatever.  However, it's just the one class, it's expensive, and it doesn't give you either the skills to play that class or the gear required for any sensible level.

03:34 * Cepheid does some checks on his modem and internet.

03:35 <Ali> Schism, the level boosts?  Yeah they aren't a pay to win thing, its more of a I want this character type up to X level without having to waste time getting it there

03:36 <Schism> Yeah.

03:36 <Ali> Then again, it doesn't take too long to grind up to max level, only a few days

03:36 <Ali> But then again

03:36 <Schism> A bit of a longer process in FFXIV, where you don't have altitis.

03:37 <Ali> I don't know what's changed with WoW and they did nerf the speedy leveling thing

03:37 <Ali> Alts would be the only thing going for me

03:37 <Ali> Since I know nobody else that plays WoW anymore and my entire Alliance side...I really don't want to touch them anymore.

03:39 <Cepheid> Connection's going to reboot, so if yer on the server Ali, you're gonna get booted.

03:39 <Ali> Not on the server Cepheid so you're fine

03:39 <Ali> I just don't want to play Factorio alone right now.

03:39 <Ali> Or pretty much anything at the moment..

03:46 * Cepheid is trying to resolve a problem before he starts any gaming.

03:48 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com)

03:48 <Ali> Not a problem

03:52 <Cepheid> It's a problem called bufferbloat, which is apparently responsible for that ratio-based speed control.  Through configuring the router, I can set it up such that bufferbloat is minimized and performance overall benefits, even when I'm doing massive downloads.

03:52 <Ali> A what to who now?

03:53 <Cepheid> It's technical stuff.  Don't worry about it too much.  Just know it means "Factorio probably won't lag as much when I started to download stuff."

03:54 <Cepheid> There we are.  Not quite A+ on the test, but an A, but initially the test was giving me a straight-up F.

04:05 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Princes Whataver - Odds Against Us (Metal)  [ http://tinyurl.com/wjnejul ]

04:08 <Cepheid> Yeah, default settings gets me a rating so low it's not even funny.

04:09 <Ali> Fun fun

04:11 <Cepheid> Looks like I've got it as good as I'm gonna get, so..

04:12 <Cepheid> Oh, right.  I need to set up a subscription to log in.

04:12 * Ali headtilts

04:12 <Schism> Not to patch, at least.

04:13 <Cepheid> Yep.

04:14 <Cepheid> There we go.

04:14 <Cepheid> I'm expecting several hours of download.

04:14 <Schism> Quite possibly, aye.

04:14 <Cepheid> 51GiB, yeah.

04:14 <Schism> Eh, that's not too shabby.

04:14 <Cepheid> Mmhmm, the settings on the router are helping now.  Can still browse.

04:15 <Cepheid> Ultimate test?  Let's hop onto Factorio and see how it fares with netplay.

04:15 <Cepheid> Ali is more likely to see anything than I am.

04:16 <Cepheid> Hmm, using my own internet IP, tick latency went from 8 to 14.  So, not that bad.

04:50 <Finwe> It looks like the inhabitants of Ottawa might not be that much amiss after all.

04:51 <Schism> Cepheid pasted that earlier.

04:51 <Schism> Er, posted.

04:51 <Finwe> I see.

04:51 <Finwe> Or, more accurately, I do not, but I take your word for it.

14:49 <Schism> Was the tablecloth recently washed?

14:50 <Cepheid> Not recently.

14:59 <Cepheid> I think when I awake tonight, I'll get started on EO2.  I'm going to assume you want healing duty Schism.

14:59 <Schism> Certainly.  o3o

15:00 <Cepheid> Though, I should probably also try to finish 3.  Still need to take out that eldritch nightmare.

15:25 <Schism> There, medication taken.  Late, but better than not.

15:33 <Cepheid> Fun note, benzodiazepams slow your eye's ability to focus apparently.

15:52 * Finwe hats on Schism.

15:59 * Cepheid wonders where his idiot cat is.

16:00 <Finwe> Hiding or sleeping.

16:00 <Finwe> Possibly both.

16:04 <Cepheid> Sleeping, most likely.

16:14 <Schism> Don't you love finding it hard to wake up?

16:14 <Schism> 'Course, it's my own fault today.

16:14 <Schism> Also: Nice 6-hour hike, Finwe.  o3o

16:26 * Schism unblocks that "Mapbox" site, and nodnods at the route.

16:31 <Finwe> Had I walked all the way home it would have been nigh six hours and 35 kilometres.

18:28 * Finwe Easter hats on Schism.

18:28 <Schism> Indeed.

18:29 * Schism provides Finwe with an egg salad sandwich.

18:29 <Finwe> And some stores are going to be closed tomorrow because of Easter.

18:29 <Finwe> And on Monday as well.

18:30 <Finwe> Someone in the Lutheran Church of Sweden decided that Easter and Christmas need to be two-day holidays.

18:33 <Finwe> Gustav I Vasa decided to abolish Catholicism in order to make the church part of the state and confiscate most of its property, the rest was left to the clergy.

22:04 <Lunanightwind> ok im back i think for real this time

22:05 <Lunanightwind> got distracted with my stream

22:08 * Ali sits on Lunanightwind and puffycheeks

22:14 <Lunanightwind> why you puffin up girl?

22:14 <Lunanightwind> final fantasy 7 remake was important to play

22:14 <Lunanightwind> and im still only in chapter 4

22:15 * Ali will puffycheek when she wants to puffycheek. And she's a sad mare so she puffycheeks a lot.

22:22 <Lunanightwind> guessing this whole stuck inside thing is driving you nuts?

22:24 <Ali> Just a bit

22:24 <Ali> I've gone from having things to do, to nothing to do for over a month now

22:24 <Ali> Its hard to play Magic when you're banned from playing it due to the state saying no gatherings.

22:24 <Lunanightwind> well thats what i was going through for 10 years,

22:25 <Lunanightwind> like right now its just another saturday for me

22:25 <Lunanightwind> the whole being stuck inside thing is nothing new to me but maybe you can understand why i was always depressed

22:26 <Lunanightwind> also Ali, Blazing says hi

22:27 * Ali boops the blazing nosie

22:27 <Ali> I just don't like being stuck inside, as much as there's nothing for me to do outside of it

22:27 <Ali> Just when I want to escape from this house

22:27 <Ali> I can't cause you can't go outside for anything.

22:28 <Ali> And don't say anything about play MTG Arena

22:28 <Lunanightwind> Thats how i was for so long ali, like i wanted to go outside but i was too afraid to its a little different obviously since its a government mandated stay at home but that being trapped is something i knew

22:28 <Ali> Cause if you can't 24/7 that stupid thing there's no point for it

22:28 <Lunanightwind> you learn to adapt over time

22:29 <Lunanightwind> also I wasnt about to suggest MTG arena, i hate arena

22:29 <Ali> I don't like it cause its not nice to free to play players

22:29 <Ali> You miss like one week or one set and you're screwed for two years

22:29 * Ali flops over Lunanightwind

22:30 <Lunanightwind> like i just hope this stay at home thing doesnt last so long that people do start to get used to being stuck in the house

22:30 <Lunanightwind> cuz the more you get used to it the less you want to leave and that leads to its own problems

22:31 <Ali> I understand that

22:31 <Ali> I just want out cause I want to do something

22:31 <Ali> I miss MTG drafts

22:32 <Ali> we have only 287 cases here in my county

22:32 <Ali> And that's out of a pop size of around 160,000

22:33 <Lunanightwind> my state has 700 or so cases

22:34 <Lunanightwind> i miss my trips to the therapist and my trips to walmart

22:35 *** Joins: Stormspark (stormspark@Pony-25m.dcd.98.172.IP)

22:36 <Stormspark> my city has 700 "confirmed" cases (meaning the actual is probably 10x that)

22:37 <Ali> This just feels like an overexaggeration, but I don't want to go into that too much cause I piss off everyone.

22:41 <Lunanightwind> eh i wont go too far into it but i would rather see everyone safe than the alternative my sister had the virus and it wasnt pretty

22:41 <Lunanightwind> and she was considered a mild case

22:46 * PrincessRainbows hides under Ali and makes scared little pony noises

22:47 * Ali huggles PrincessRainbows tightly

22:48 <Ali> I'm just glad for my new Bose

22:48 <Ali> Annoyed that half of the functions won't work, but at least the noise canceling does.

22:51 <Lunanightwind> i was thinking about a pair of BOSE headphones

22:52 <Ali> I got the Bose 700

22:52 <Ali> They're pretty nice, now that I don't need to worry about batteries

22:52 <Ali> But a lot of features are locked behind MUST USE MOBILE DEVICE app

22:53 <Ali> I don't have a compatable device, and I don't have a phone that can have apps

22:53 <Ali> And they refuse to make a PC app for it.

22:54 <Lunanightwind> i dunno i have alot of things i want but nothing that i want at the same time

22:56 <Ali> Well the only reason I got this new headset

22:56 <Ali> Is cause a certain day is coming up that's pretty much ruined by this stupid virus

22:57 <Lunanightwind> my birthday plans are gone cuz of this stupid virus

22:57 <Lunanightwind> had soome fun plans for my birthday and a trip planned for my sister in laws graduation

22:57 <Lunanightwind> both of those things are canceled

22:59 <Ali> Least you have your hubby

22:59 * Ali jellies on Lunanightwind

23:01 <Lunanightwind> my hubby who is essencial worker

23:01 <Lunanightwind> and i had to be seperated from for the last week

23:01 <Lunanightwind> cuz he had a respitory infection

23:01 <Lunanightwind> i had to sleep in the guest room for 8 days

23:04 * Ali nods

23:04 * Ali flops over Lunanightwind

23:05 <Lunanightwind> im sitting here trying to figure out if there are any games i want

23:05 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Drawfriend - Equestria Girls / Anthro MLP Art Gallery #185 [ http://tinyurl.com/v29n9c8 ]

23:10 <Ali> No games sound interesting to me

23:10 <Lunanightwind> brb

23:20 <Lunanightwind> Ali ive kinda been in and out on buying control

23:20 <Ali> control?

23:20 <Lunanightwind> its been in the back of my mind but i can never pull the trigger on it

23:20 <Lunanightwind> yeah its a game that came out not too long ago

23:22 <Stormspark> that's not available on any platforms I have

23:22 <Ali> Theres no game I care about cause most games are either unfinished pieces of crap

23:22 <Ali> Or buggy messes

23:25 <Lunanightwind> see control i thought looked pretty with the RTX graphics

23:25 <Lunanightwind> which i can use

23:26 <Lunanightwind> was also kinda thinking of minecraft cuz of RTX

23:27 <Lunanightwind> the other thing im thinking of is a new TV

23:28 <Lunanightwind> like i already know my graphics card upgrade for later this year is paid for

23:32 <Ali> I just look at games on steam and switch and am like meh, nothing interesting

23:32 <Ali> I'm not fond of FPS

23:32 <Ali> Or Multiplayer games

23:32 <Ali> There's really nothing out there..

23:41 <Lunanightwind> yeah control's problem is its an epic game store exclusive

23:41 <Lunanightwind> and IF i get it i would get it on PC cuz of the RTX features

23:45 * Ali flops over Lunanightwind and yawncuddles on.

23:46 <Lunanightwind> awww you sleepy?

23:47 <Ali> More lonely than anything.  That's what this isolation is doing..

23:50 <Lunanightwind> i slept alot at first too when it started for me

23:50 <Lunanightwind> i hope you never get used to it

23:56 <Ali> I don't want to, but since before the virus my staff bailed

23:57 <Ali> And now I can't get a new one cause I'm low risk
