archetech has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!]
<lanefu>
but they're using hirsute so maybe its beat repo
<lanefu>
*beta repo

stipa, what about that screw drivers?
<stipa>
Werner: they have some laser etched stuff on the tip for better grip with the screw head maybe
<stipa>
kprasadvnsi[m]: doesn't believe it
<stipa>
it's a german product
<Werner>
I think it depends on the screw itself. If you have good quality screws a blank screwdriver will do too. But if they have bad tolerances the "roughness" on the tip could help
<stipa>
yeah
<stipa>
some voodoo
<Armbian-Discord>
<kprasadvnsi> I meant, don't believe until you see it in a real product.
<kprasadvnsi[m]>
<stipa> "second one from top down" <- This laser etched tip might help in some cases but are they worth paying extra? Idk
<stipa>
it depends on needs
<stipa>
i could live without that quality
<stipa>
but i do have some experience in life and don't have time to screw around with low quality tools
<stipa>
dunno, hard choice
<ZTiK>
pro tip, if you have a screw that is chipped/broken, put an elastic band/rubber on top of the screw, then use screwdriver to get it out, works in 50% of bad screw heads...
<ZTiK>
the rubber will move to fill crevaces(?) which gives extra grip on the screwhead
<stipa>
fancy
<stipa>
thanks for the tip ZTiK
<ZTiK>
welcome ^^
<stipa>
i try to be somewhere in the middle
<stipa>
with the quality
<stipa>
i end up there eventually if i start low and see no need to go up higher
<ZTiK>
same here, not too cheap that it breaks after first use, not that expensive that my tools become targets for thieves :)
<stipa>
right, exactly
<ZTiK>
but it also depends on the tool in question though...
<stipa>
yeah, i try to make it as cheap and as capable to do the task at hand
<stipa>
sometimes like very cheap stuff simply wont do it
<ZTiK>
true true, but then, occasionally, I need to nail a hammer, and ill use something nearby as a hammer... like a steel ashtray or whatever :P
<Armbian-Discord>
<HappyFeet> someones forehead
<Armbian-Discord>
<HappyFeet> lol
<ZTiK>
My dad is a real hardhead, he'd be perfect for that :P
<stipa>
once i fixed a mouse cable just by bending it inside of the mouse instead cutting fucked up part and soldering it to the pcb, i use it right now lol
<ZTiK>
hey, if it works!
<stipa>
i'm ashamed of that fix
<stipa>
works like new
<ZTiK>
'if it aint broken, it needs more fixing'
<ZTiK>
oh btw, i havent made that vid yet for you stipa, will work on that today, i promise!
<ZTiK>
in the meantime, if youre interested in an older project....
<ZTiK>
you happen to have played the game FallOut?
<ZTiK>
no advertisement meant here, just a fun project if anyone wants to look, nothing more, sry if seen as spam?
<stipa>
bunch of sensors
<ZTiK>
yeah, lots, from GPS to heartbeat sensor, to AM/FM radio, too much to think of
<ZTiK>
i tried to make every function there is on the PIPOY, including.... (drumroll).... a GEIGER COUNTER!!!
<ZTiK>
PIPBOY*
hyphop1 has quit [Ping timeout: 258 seconds]
<stipa>
yeah, you've got some skills
<ZTiK>
the fine folks at TechInc (hackerspace) have been kind enough to help me 3d print a few casings for it, so it can actually be worn like a real wristcomputer
<ZTiK>
nah, i just had lots of time to spare and an interest in learning how electronics work
<ZTiK>
also had LOTS of help from third parties
<stipa>
i guess teensy is C++ ?
<ZTiK>
aye
<stipa>
all i know it's powerful for it's size
<ZTiK>
back when arduino was reasonably new, teensy came out with better capabilities than an arduino
<ZTiK>
yeah exactly, and also, if you're into penetration testing, it can be used as a variety of other USB devices, such as a keyboard
<stipa>
yeah, it's much more powerfull
<ZTiK>
program a script to 'hit a bunch of keys', insert into usb, it recognizes a keyboard, and teensy starts pushing keystrokes
<[TheBug]>
Good Morning
<ZTiK>
morning TheBug!
<stipa>
mornin
<Armbian-Discord>
<HappyFeet> yes
<Armbian-Discord>
<HappyFeet> but now they have boards that are even better
<stipa>
there's a bunch of cool toys out there
<Armbian-Discord>
<HappyFeet> i have the teensy4 and the octo board
<Armbian-Discord>
<HappyFeet> I need to finish someday fro lighting up a tree
<Armbian-Discord>
<HappyFeet> and changing lights to music
<stipa>
yeah, i had that idea too
<stipa>
never realized it
<stipa>
to change colors to noises in the environment
<Armbian-Discord>
<HappyFeet> this does more but yes
<stipa>
three wires, two for power and one for comm with diodes
<ZTiK>
there is a guy who has a brain implant for changing colors into sounds (think he is colorblind?)
<Armbian-Discord>
<HappyFeet> i have the unit built never programmed it
<ZTiK>
has this colorsensor on his head that points at what he is looking at and lets him hear colors
<stipa>
there are that people that see colors when they hear sounds
<stipa>
in visin system or smthn
<stipa>
vidion*
<stipa>
vision*
<Xogium>
synesthesia
<Armbian-Discord>
<HappyFeet> its called lsd
<Armbian-Discord>
<HappyFeet> lol
<stipa>
Xogium: probably, hard to prove thing
<Xogium>
it does, I have one hehe
<stipa>
i've met one guy too
<Xogium>
music notes make me taste things, for whatever reason
<stipa>
i'm like majority, nothing special
<Xogium>
I can't say its fun
<Xogium>
music is often a lot of notes all at once, and when you get chocolate and tomato at the same time
<Xogium>
yikes
<stipa>
dunno, probably some complex science
<stipa>
beacuse sounds do chemistry in a body
<stipa>
emotion is chemical process after all in the body
<stipa>
induced by sounds if listening to music
<Xogium>
yeah
<Xogium>
but yeah chocolate+tomato = yuck, for sure
<Xogium>
when I manage to get chocolate+vanilla it's cool though
<ZTiK>
gives the 'brown note' a whole new meaning :P
<stipa>
yeah, not sure why would sound mess with a taste
<Xogium>
haha
<Xogium>
yeah
<stipa>
but they maybe use the same memory
<Xogium>
I suspect because the two senses are linked
<ZTiK>
its to do with the brain misfiring on sensory data, connecting it to the wrong sense
<ZTiK>
also, its quite common to have, synesthesia, lots of people can link a color to a specific day
<ZTiK>
like wednesday is green to me
<stipa>
for example, if you hear a word tomato you could imagine a taste
<ZTiK>
thursdayis blue
<Xogium>
yeah, crazy enough I somehow get to see stars if I really bang my head super hard, even though I haven't seen a single minute in my life
<Xogium>
I wonder why that is, sort of
<ZTiK>
lol, not sure that would be the way forward :D
<Xogium>
probably because they are not real sensory data
<stipa>
yeah, it happens
<stipa>
there's that hing as well you stand up very fast sometimes, the vision gets blank
<Xogium>
I don't know they are stars I mean I say it because it's what people say but it's just birhgt stuff to me, I don,t know what they even look like
<Xogium>
er, bright
<stipa>
stars are tiny bright spots
<stipa>
on a dark sky
<Xogium>
hmm they kinda go zooming around for like half a sec then they disappear. At least it did that, the last time I banged my head trying to stand up too fast and not realizing I was still halfway under the damn kitchen table
<Xogium>
that freaking hurts
<stipa>
yeah, that could be "bright"
<stipa>
when dark changes color in a moment
<stipa>
when you hit
<Xogium>
I guess you don't need a retina to see those
<stipa>
probably
<stipa>
maybe it's not connected with the vision
<stipa>
but simply with brain sensing you hit your head
