burnt cave
#

i know my NEC electrical code 😛

#

the 100 year old wiring in my house is taunting me every day

#

have considered asking my landlord if he would pay me to do it

forest edge
#

well if it's causing electrical fires you should either let it burn or call the city inspector

burnt cave
#

well I think I worked all the fire hazards out

forest edge
#

it's illegal for them to allow unsafe living conditions of any kind

burnt cave
#

still not great though

#

some of the outlets were wired with reverse polarity

#

which was the main booger

#

lit my PC on fire and killed a TV from that

#

still, all it'll take is a rat getting ahold of that cloth wrapped wire

subtle pasture
#

Uh... reverse polarity (on the AC side) is almost never a problem, functionally

burnt cave
#

it is a big problem if you connect two things on two differently wired outlets together

#

then you get dead shorts

subtle pasture
#

Yeah, then your breaker should pop

burnt cave
#

hah

#

breakers

subtle pasture
#

Or the fuse inside of one (or both) of the electronics should blow

forest edge
#

I would document everything, pictures galore. then after I would show the landlord and tell them of the hazards you had experinced and attempted to fix then instruct them to have it looked at by a licenced electrician

burnt cave
#

oh yeah no i'm definitely communicating with my landlord

cedar chasm
#

"My next call will be to the fire marshall"

burnt cave
#

just takes a while to get the ball moving on that stuff

#

i get nearly free rent in exchange for doing pretty much all maintenance myself

subtle pasture
#

Also, the landlord is likely liable for any property damage caused by the improper wiring

forest edge
#

if your in the US they generally have 30 days to show they are attempting to fix the issue from the time thye were notified

subtle pasture
#

You make it sound like there aren't even any functional breakers, so... fire marshal time, yeah

burnt cave
#

i have a fusebox

#

but the entire house only has 3 30A circuits

#

which is very sketchy

subtle pasture
#

That... can't be up to code...

burnt cave
#

it most certainly is not

#

but basically free rent

#

and it's managed to go 100 years without burning down

subtle pasture
#

Also, it's using actual old-school fuses, not breakers?

burnt cave
#

yup screw in

subtle pasture
#

...it's possible they put 30A fuses into 20A circuits to prevent them from popping

#

Watch out for that

burnt cave
#

yeah I checked

#

wire gauge is proper for 30A

subtle pasture
#

Well, at least there's that...

burnt cave

although I would be very unsurprised if the previous occupants didn't do something stupid

subtle pasture
#

Legit concerned for your safety over here <_<

burnt cave
#

they strung up a piece of in-wall romex between the house and detached garage to run power out to it

#

it's tapped into the attic lightswitch

#

so I gotta turn on my attic light to get power in the garage lol

subtle pasture
#

I bet that light-switch gets hot when you run major appliances out in the garage...

#

Most of them aren't rated for 15A+ loads

burnt cave
#

i just avoid using power in the garage whenever possible

#

just work lights

#

if I need to use power tools I run an extension cord out the window because my house also does not have any outdoor outlets

#

fortunately, I should be moving as soon as I'm no longer cripplingly unemployed

#

i actually made a whole diagram of the circuits in my house

#

it's a mess

#

and for some reason they're only using 3 out of the 8 available fuses

cedar chasm
#

May I ask what wire gauge is considered to be up to code for 30A?
I am comparing with European cross-sectioning, and it's all very fascinating!

clear ferry
burnt cave
#

10 gauge is acceptable for 120v30

30A for norway would be 6-10mm2 here

metric would be cool but imperial is okay imo

it's more human readable, at least to me

but it might just be familiarity

clear ferry
#

AWG just doesn't make sense to me, lower number, bigger wire

burnt cave
#

i lean toward imperial for carpentry and metric for CAD/machining

but I always use AWG cause it's easy to shop for here

cedar chasm
#

When in Rome, shop like the Romans, obviously. But keeping things divisible by 10 makes my brain hurt less

it still hurts

burnt cave
#

otoh, imperial is made to be divisible by a lot of convenient numbers since fractions are standard over decimal

it jives more with my mental mathability

i will eternally maintain that F is better than C for weather purposes

I don't have a basis to prefer one over the other, other than that I grew up with C

clear ferry
#

C makes more sense, below 0, water freezes, above 100, water boils

burnt cave
#

with F

#

0 means it's real cold out, 100 means it's real hot out

clear ferry
#

0 means slippery roads, 100 means you dead

burnt cave
#

that's my main complaint with C

#

the human relevant range is pretty small

#

so you end up with decimal places again

clear ferry
#

is -50 to +50 a small range ?

#

americans seem to think we use the decimals for anything, while we don't

#

🤣

#

it is always a point pulled up when discussing it "but you have to use decimals"

#

but we don't 🤷

cedar chasm

It is pretty useful that anything in the minus range means cold

if it is 0.5 degrees off we mostly don't care

using just metric or just imperial is actually bad

so you are saying the american mechanics have finally started adapting to metric ?

#

that is great

forest edge
#

uh foreign vehicles aren't in imperial

subtle pasture

No, I mean, if you're using imperial, you're using metric, because imperial units are defined in metric, and metric units (of length, anyway) are designated as the distance traveled by a photon over a set interval of time.

Where are you seeing the ODROID-N2+ being that fast? The only Geekbench scores I can find from a NUC that are lower than the ODRID-N2+ are running Celerons

I got a R510 shipped from the US to Norway, with one CPU and 16GB RAM (both of which I tossed) for $150

The N2+ scores 360 pts (single core) and 1099 pts (multi-core), for reference

I'd take my chances with an i3 or i5 NUC, they all seem to beat the N2+ 😛

and a celeron based system is more scalable and has a proper storage platform to begin with 🤣

deft pewter

I'm pleased with my cheap Celeron NUC. Plenty powerful for HA and a few other bits.

If I was doing transcoding or something, it'd struggle.

subtle pasture

Depends on what GPU it has/had onboard, and if your software supports hardware transcoding

Intel Quicksync can prop up some low-end chips pretty well

@subtle pasture it's a 6 core

Geekbench is one of the few x86/ARM benchmarks out there

it compares single and multi

Yeah, core count doesn't really matter if they're that much slower per-core...

even still the nuc is a quad lol

And keep in mind that the odroid is 4+2

subtle pasture

This ^

forest edge

thats what I said above

Not buying it. I've had plenty of high core-count systems be slower than comparable low core-count systems because each individual core was just THAT much slower

when you are dealing with more than 2 strands of 12 gauge the wire nuts you have to use are freaking huge. to many of just wire nutting two in the same box becomes cluttered as well

anything that saves on space if a big plus

These are also really easy to work with in small spaces - I've used them a few times now and wouldn't go back to other methods

night zodiac
#

just the PIO assembly stuff is neat

#

"The PIO subsystem on RP2040 allows you to write small, simple programs for what are called PIO state machines, of
which RP2040 has eight split across two PIO instances. A state machine is responsible for setting and reading one or
more GPIOs, buffering data to or from the processor (or RP2040’s ultra-fast DMA subsystem), and notifying the
processor, via IRQ or polling, when data or attention is needed.
These programs operate with cycle accuracy at up to system clock speed (or the program clocks can be divided down to
run at slower speeds for less frisky protocols)." it's a pdf or I'd link

deft pewter
subtle pasture
#

Heh, that's handy. Means the GPIOs can do things like generate a PWM frequency or send a keepalive pulse all on their own, without bothering the CPU

night zodiac
#

I just got to this. "So far we have looked at writing data to PIO directly from the processor. This often leads to the processor spinning its
wheels waiting for room in a FIFO to make a data transfer, which is not a good investment of its time. It also limits the
total data throughput you can achieve"

#

"RP2040 is equipped with a powerful direct memory access unit (DMA), which can transfer data for you in the background.
Suitably programmed, the DMA can make quite long sequences of transfers without supervision. Up to one word per
system clock can be transferred to or from a PIO state machine, which is, to be quite technically precise, more bandwidth
than you can shake a stick at. The bandwidth is shared across all state machines, but you can use the full amount on one
state machine."

subtle pasture

Yeah, I believe that's how they're getting enough bandwidth to drive things like VGA monitors at high resolutions

Yeah, it worked

night zodiac

holy fuck. these switches I want are $12 a piece. I'll wait a bit

subtle pasture

I believe micro-B was designed explicitly so that the connector on the cable was more likely to break than the connector inside your device

night zodiac
#

nvm, that site is trying to fook me

subtle pasture
#

micro-B increased the minimum number of insertion cycles from 5000 (on mini-B) to 10,000

#

Note that this applies to the receptacles, not the plugs

deft pewter
#

That's pretty durable

subtle pasture
#

To accomplish this, a locking device was added and the leaf-spring was moved from the jack to the plug, so that the most-stressed part is on the cable side of the connection. This change was made so that the connector on the less expensive cable would bear the most wear.

#

I remembered correctly \o/

wow, memory; I can't remember the last time I had that shit

I used to have a PS3 controller for my retropie. Then I switched to a PS4 one because the designers of that one actually read the bluetooth spec. Thankfully that uses micro.

Fun fact: the Nintendo Switch doesn't actually produce an HDMI signal

#

It pushes DisplayPort out of its USB-C port. The dock converts this to HDMI

hot

#

I got a lite for myself and the big one and remote for girlfriend but she doesn't play it anymore either

subtle pasture
#

I'm still trying to figure out the Switch Lite...

#

Nintendo gave it the "Switch" name, but it doesn't... switch...

#

it explicitly doesn't do the namesake thing

#

Call it something else, seriously

#

It almost feels like false advertising

night zodiac
#

when I read switch I picture a whip

subtle pasture
#

I pictured bedroom activities 🤷‍♀️

#

When your friends invite you over to play smash, but you get there and realize you're the switch

I would love to play zelda real big on my tv but my eyes strain while playing it

maybe in about 10 years I'll play it on an emulator with haxxed settings

subtle pasture
#

@night zodiac You can already run BOTW in an emulator

night zodiac
#

well tits

#

higher fps and better shadows?

subtle pasture
#

The Wii-U version runs in Dolphin

#

Yup, there are already 60FPS patches for it

#

You can get the Wii-U version looking better than the Switch version, honestly

night zodiac
#

I don't even know what a wii u is

I don't really game. I bought this to AC with the girl

subtle pasture
#

Did you not see Nintendo's first attempt at a tablet console?

night zodiac
#

no. I went from nintendo 64 to a switch

#

max of 60fps?

#

I went from an SNES to a switch 🤷

subtle pasture
#

Looks like there are 144 FPS patches now

night zodiac
#

nice. that is the sweet spot

#

There's also some game changing patches, like ultra-master-mode or whatever.

#

Good luck emulating a Wii U game that fast... you'll need one HELL of a CPU

#

I has 10900k and 3090 so hopefully that will do

#

still have yet to shove them in a case 😛

subtle pasture
#

You have a good shot. lol

#

Damn, that's a 10-core / 20 thread chip

#

What's hilarious is I can drop an i7 6950X into my motherboard and get 10 cores / 20 threads (Broadwell-E from 2016)

#

And it'll still be the same 14nm process node as the 10900k

#

intel needs to get their shit together on 10 / 7 / 5 nm already...

night zodiac
#

they just hired a bunch of retired architects in an attempt to start actually making shit again

#

they weren't paying enough so everyone left

#

they are trying to pay people, haha

subtle pasture
#

A lot of those were former Matrox engineers, and went to their GPU division

#

The new hires, I mean

#

Intel is ramping up to compete with AMD and Nvidia in the high-end GPU space

Interesting

#

c'mon intel, finally give me a reason to upgrade...

I dunno if that's normal for Myanmar. Is it one of those countries that put a lot of money into infrastructure but don't actually use it?

Don't talk about @clear ferry like that.

#

You can ship me your NAS. I could do with one.

#

I keep having to delete stuff to make room for new stuff. It's madness.

I ordered 256gb nvme's for my nas and amazon accidentally sent me 2tb sticks so my space has been poppin'

dem allergies

deft pewter
#

You got pets?

night zodiac
#

nope

#

I get headaches from all types of smelly things. like hot oil when cooking and such.

#

perfume, nail polish

deft pewter
#

You're just a snowflake, huh? 😄

#

I have a cat allergy. Which is really great, since we have a cat.

night zodiac
#

lol, sounds like a great idea

subtle pasture
#

my girlfriend's ex-wife got a purse-dog that she takes with her everywhere after the divorce... she is allergic to dogs... we worry about her sometimes >_>

deft pewter
#

I didn't really get a choice. Wife wanted a cat... then I discovered my allergy.

subtle pasture
#

Oof

night zodiac
#

hopefully the cat at least likes you

deft pewter
#

Sometimes.

night zodiac
#

man. this chat and the other chat I am in are both talking about cats

#

well, the other one is talking about kitty litter that changes color according to the ph of your cats pee

#

pretty litter

deft pewter
#

They should make it sparkly too.

#

Shitty glitter...

night zodiac
#

it is to visualize your cats health, apparently

deft pewter
#

Yeah, that's odd... you could just pay attention to your cat instead of checking its poop.
