[00:06:20] <chromas> I think Kodak forgot how to math
[00:06:26] <chromas> "Resolution: 854 x 480 [1080p]"
[00:09:50] <chromas> for some reason projectors and webcams almost all lie about their HDness and nobody seems to complain
[00:10:32] <chromas> (except me, of course. I complain all the time :D )
[00:17:43] <chromas> I was confused when I saw a review with photos of cookies. I thought it was one of those sku reusing dastards, but I guess people are using pico projectors to decorate their cookies now
[00:18:04] <chromas> https://m.media-amazon.com
[00:21:32] <ted-ious> Those helpful cookie circles sure do look lopsided on the right side.
[00:23:28] <chromas> After clicking around some more, quite a few people are doing it. You know, I learned something today
[00:24:03] <chromas> I was just looking for something I could strap to my belt so I can play videogames on the ground while I walk around town
[00:24:31] <ted-ious> Are you serious?
[00:31:28] <chromas> well it'd probably only work on sidewalks
[00:52:48] <chromas> All my spare keyboards are ps/2 it seems like. I haven't seen that port in at least 12 years. Must be time to upgrade
[00:53:29] <chromas> Most keyboard are either rubber dome or are missing half the keyboard
[00:54:37] <chromas> All the ergo keyboard people seem to think you need to hold your hands and fingers as perfectly still as possible or else you'll get RSI
[02:09:57] <Runaway1956> Retarded Secretary Itch?
[02:10:30] <Runaway1956> How can you even think such insensitive triggering things about secretaries?
[03:41:49] <chromas> They're retarded; they don't know any better

[06:10:47] <aristarchus> Just to let everyone know, my favorite Canadians are Loius Reil and Gordon Lightfoot, and maybe that Northern Songbird. But the relevant line is from "The Edmund Fitzgerald". "At seven pm, a main hatchway gave in, and he (the cook) said fellows it's been good to know ya!"
[07:26:41] <janrinok> From a front page Meta:
[07:26:45] <janrinok> Audioguy has suffered a series of significant personal and medical events over the last 6 months or so. He is now about to commence ophthalmic surgery tomorrow (Wednesday) and is facing other potentially life changing medical issues in the near future. He has, quite understandably and reluctantly, been forced to stand down from his role which was effective from late last week. Unfortunately that has meant that we have lost the ability
[07:26:45] <janrinok> to correct the current certificates problem. Access to the Linode servers is still controlled by the existing Board and we have experienced additional problems accessing one of our servers by the usual methods. This appears to be common to many staff and has further exacerbated the current problem.
[07:26:45] <janrinok> I have written an email to NCommander requesting his assistance in updating the certificates so that the site becomes fully operational again. Your patience is appreciated. What might appear to many in the community to be a relatively minor issue is, behind the scenes, a major blow to the existing team. We have other sys-admins who are ready to pick up the challenge but they do not yet have the necessary access, nor are they yet
[07:26:50] <janrinok> experienced in managing the beast that that is Slashd.

[08:55:23] <janrinok> For those who are having difficulty accessing the site: Try using a Private/Incognito window, they still flag up the certificate problem but allow you to override the warning and thus access the site again.
[09:08:34] <aristarchus> Inviting a man-in-the-middle attack by a known cyber criminal? No thank you. Background checks are a thing, you know, before you have people writing the IRS on your behalf.

[19:05:48] <systemd> ^ 03The Indian Head Wobble Explained
[19:06:39] <Runaway1956> I guess I've seen that a few times, didn't really take notice. Or, chalked it up to some kind of palsy. It's amusing at any rate.

[23:17:12] <ted-ious> Speaking of boeing this is an amazing walk thru of the cockpit controls of a plane by real pilots.
