What did you do today?

[ChainedHope]

I remember "learning" that in university. *shudders*

Surprisingly I never had to learn it in college (CpE here). The logic is all extremely simple and it was surprisingly easy to get started, but since no one can agree on a standard I've had to model out 3 different setups for what should be the same type of relay. Just small stuff popping up that was getting annoying.

1) Built a friend's PC. What an abomination of a system. Infested with RGB. Utilized a full-size ATX tower. Some assclown Microcenter employee gave said clueless friend an mATX board so that was sick I guess.

2) Straight up tore down and rebuilt the WORST system I've seen put together. My friend's friend had a machine with two screws keeping his motherboard held down, mismatched RAM, and the stock Intel heatsink wasn't even pushed into the motherboard and therefore wasn't making contact with the CPU. I replaced his abysmal Antec PSU with a marginally better Corsair PSU.

I don't know, man. I was about ready to vomit.

You did good, man. Those builds sound like the installers both didn’t care.

My day is going about chillaxy: sun is shining, watching the chem trail planes ruin the perfect flat blue sky, listening to BBC Radio 1’s Renee Lavice’s Drum&Bass show on the tablet. Later I’ll be grilling a pile of meat on the barbecue and have a nice Belgian Gueuze beer to wash it all down.

Today, I changed my wallpaper

 

[ChainedHope]

Watched a LTT video of hotswapping pcie cards and instantly thought of my N64 Nuc idea. Still think its a possible use-case for this kinda feature.

Also restarted the metal forge. Been a good year or so since its melted anything and I was bored. Melted some scrap aluminium and made metal cupcakes for use later. Going to try my hand at using 3d prints in the lost casting method and see how it goes (PLA and soluble).

 

[VegetableStu]

is this like the space forge scene in infinity war?

Less "I don't feel so good.", more explosions.
Side note -- I caught my backyard on fire doing it.

That's how you know the furnace is up to temperature. Lawns are just biodegradeable colour-change Tempilstiks.

Once again considered getting a Mac. I feel myself growing out of gaming and have little use for my hardware.

 

[VegetableStu]

I'm ambivalent on Mac vs PC, LOL. for life management either is fine. for web browsing either is fine. for programs that run on both either is fine.

only thing about Macs are the kind of quality control Apple enforces on their hardware. although I get to control which hardware goes into my PC

so yeah ._. porque no los dos

Took medical exams, been diagnosed with bilateral CTS (carpal tunnel syndrome) with both loss of sensitivity and grip.

It is not to a stage that needs surgery, but have to change my working environment ergonomy quickly.

Ouch. Happened to my right hand before. Switched to A4Tech ergo keyboard and it helped.

Also, try to stay relaxed during log typing sessions. Move & stretch often in between.

Get well soon.

I hope you can deal with it before it gets worse. I can't even imagine.

Sorry to hear that. Hope that It clears up, like my cousin's magically did. Sad that it always seems like those who do delicate work get it. Wishing you the best,

I worked, came home, made some really spicy Jambalaya, and played and edited my trackmania 2 Stadium track.

If you don't know what trackmania 2 is, watch this:

EDITx2: okay. future reference:

1. set up sync on old session
2. copy/export/backup off google all chrome extension settings (e.g. adblock filter lists)
3. close session
4. install chrome thus starting new session
5. log in and sync; wait for chrome to "sync"
6. new session now missing tabs plus extension settings; themes and extensions itself should be there
7. close new session
8. GO TO OLD VOLUME (check drive letter): %localappdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
9. COPY:
   1. Current Session
   2. Current Tabs
   3. History
   4. History Provider Cache

   6. Last Session
   7. Last Tabs
10. GO TO NEW VOLUME: ditto directory above (check drive letter)
11. PASTE OVERWRITE YES
12. open chrome: you have your tabs back
13. go to individual extension settings: import/retune/readd each. my hard feelings are with you
14. you have your extension and settings back
15. log back all your web app accounts (the case for a password manager here)
16. you have your sanity back

Tonight is my last night oncall for the week. Getting my new machine from my company's hardware refresh program has helped. (Surface Book 2 15", 1TB)
