Guess that's what happens when three people quit in semi-rapid succession...

Their telemetry capture tool probably isn't compatible with your windows version.

Their telemetry capture tool probably isn't compatible with your windows version.I think it was just trying to stress my system based on how many cores/threads it spawned on.
Luckily it was only a couple-minute distraction.

What would that have to do with Network Setup?

Status: because I rarely drink, when I do drink it's.. effective.
I felt absolutely no effects during the whole time I drank my half of a jar of sangria. Until I turned my head, and the world swayed.
It's interesting that only my balance seems to be affected.
Other than that I feel exactly the same. It's not like I've swarted sllurringg or... or... orrrrr

I postulate a new way to detect the likes of Spectre and Meltdown or whatever, now with devices like network cards in the mix!

It's useful to determine the effects thereof on path finding and optimal movement heuristics.

It's a good thing nobody working for MS actually looks at telemetry data seriously. Otherwise, that poor guy would have been so confused by your machine...

Status: Stevia does not make my tea sweeter if the packet is sitting on the desk next to my mug.
-
@HardwareGeek I thought Google discontinued it? And what does it have to do with tea, anyway?
-
Ah, very useful embed, as usual.
Stevia (/ˈstiːviə, ˈstɛviə/)[1][2] is a natural sweetener and sugar substitute derived from the leaves of the plant species Stevia rebaudiana, native to Brazil and Paraguay.[3]
The active compounds are steviol glycosides (mainly stevioside and rebaudioside), which have about 50 to 300 times the sweetness of sugar,[4] are heat-stable, pH-stable, and not fermentable.[5] The human body does not metabolize the glycosides in stevia, so it contains zero calories as a non-nutritive sweetener.

Being deathly ill earlier in the week made 15lbs disappear. What a difference 15lbs makes too. Foot/ankle swelling? Gone. Pants fit better. Not such a fight to put on or take off shoes. I'd almost put up with it again in lieu of exercise. Almost.

@Zenith If it makes you feel any better, that kind of sudden, unintentional weight loss usually doesn't stay lost.

Status: Starting to see why some manufacturers might want their custom power connector. But not really, since this manufacturer was fucktarded.
Turns out, using the same size barrel jack for 5v as you have for 12v is not a good idea.
I was wondering why the KVM on my desk had an unusual LED indicator pattern (all dimly lit). I wasn't using it immediately so I didn't pay much attention.
Then I touched it on random chance and... holy fuck that thing was burning up!
Upon closer inspection some asshole decided to randomly plug in a 12v 3A external hard drive power brick into it!
Needless to say, it is destroyed. Great, not like I needed it or anything.
I'm glad he wasn't present because I have half the mind to tell him, "Motherfucker, if you're not absolutely certain something needs this particular power supply, don't just plug it into random shit! ALSO! Never assume that just because two objects are near one another that they certainly go together!"
For reference, this is the device in question, and it very clearly labels what kind of power it's expecting, right fucking next to the goddamn jack!
(Note, low resolution picture, it is very easy to read "DC5V", image in expanded and enhanced)

@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:

It's not very clear in that picture, but it's clearly not "DC12V".

@Tsaukpaetra eh, you know how a 5 looks like a 1 next to a 2 when it's the start of the day and you haven't had your coffee yet because it would kill your spraypaint buzz.

Status: Bought VTOL VR on a whim the other day. I can now safely say that putting me at the controls of a near-future military jet with Iron Maiden blasting through the on-board music player may not be the world's smartest idea.
That said, landing only took one go-around.

Does that include the components bouncing after the crash?

Oddly enough, there wasn't much bouncing to speak of.

Who's the bigger idiot?
The one who, for the same program, created two separate configuration settings which designated the same thing and therefore should always match or nasal demons will be released?
The one who after inheriting the codebase saw this but did not fix the obvious footgun?
Or the one who changed one the values and thought they remembered to change the other one but didn't?
