decimation: other
than
the obvious ergonomic issues
decimation: mircea_popescu: why is a laptop worse
than a standard workstation console?
BingoBoingo: * asciilifeform
thought
that it died because machine for viewing porn in
toilet doesn't need keyboard << Life for it I saw on campuses was people who wanted laptop, but didn't want
to carry a laptop. Same people
the next years I saw with heavier
tablet/keyboard combos
trinque: I recall Intel saying
they were going
to make
their own streaming service
trinque: hm
that one doesn't describe exactly what I was looking for
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah but did you notice
that
the
tablets
that 'replaced'
the netbook have less functionality?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> afaik every attempt by intel
to sell something other
than x86 has
tanked << I remember
the netbook dying as soon as AMD had chips
that could win
this niche.
decimation: the writing on
the wall is
that
the xeon stuff isn't gonna keep making money forever, especially when intel can only deliever 20% improvement per 5 years
decimation: yeah
they keep
trying
to make mobile shit
decimation: also note
that
this is a
tacit admission by intel
that
they can mint lots of
transistors but have no idea how
their customers want
the
transistors
to be arranged
decimation: but what's
the probability
that intel can deliver
this functionality with non-retarded
tools?
decimation: intel is gonna buy altera, after minting
their chips for years
decimation: interestingly it was acquired by
the former hp semiconductor division based in singapore, run by chinese
decimation: avago is probably going
to slice and dice broadcom, sell off peices
RUchimp: No need
to voice, just gonna idle and see whats goin on.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: read about utility ingresses for faraday chambers some
time << might as well look it up nao while waiting waiting for 1nd and
third opinions on
the orphan slaughter
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform> decimation: no good at all as faraday cage,
they're frame only << But if you replaced
the drywall with classically done plaster...
assbot: Successfully updated
the rating for felipelalli from 1
to 2 with note: enthusiastic aspiring writer
decimation: asciilifeform: actually
this is probably a good faraday cage for low frequencies
BingoBoingo: Amazing. So you actually do have a frame
that can handle pretty much whatever weight UPS packages can
throw at it without bumping your shit down
to "freight"
treatment.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> or whether my desk will auger in << What else are
the studs in
the walls for if not bearing weight?
decimation: yeah
that's probably
the first
thing
to fail
decimation: heh. I don't
think
they
take
that much power do
they?
BingoBoingo: Oh, I wasn't using
this for games, but
that would have been grand. I was right by a PBS station and could watch "The Victory Garden" in all its glory
decimation: yeah I remember playing nintendo on an ntsc
trinitron, was better
than random shit
tv
BingoBoingo: * asciilifeform retches from memory of ntsc screens << Sometimes...
the content is already ntsc encoded...
decimation: thost little guide wires on
the screen always made me a little happy
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not at all, but compared
to cheap LED's
BingoBoingo had a nice 9"
trinitron rf signal display machine with integrated optical disk player. A historical, more
trusting Bingo loaned it
to a neighbor and gone.
decimation: I'm surprised
they don't use
those in medical applications where contrast is crtical
BingoBoingo: First stint of grad school I was so pissed when fucking druggy never returned my 9"
trinitron
decimation: I had a 21 inch
trinitron back in
the day
decimation: it is interesting
that
they
tried
to stick hastert with
this 'you lied
to us about your cash' law
mircea_popescu: note
that for it
to be accepted in
the discussion, it must exist prior
to
the event, not merely be constructed ex post facto as a contrapositive.
assbot: Logged on 30-05-2015 00:51:24; mircea_popescu: check it out alfie, guy is starving in
the street. good enough yet ? :D
trinque: one doesn't get
to deny
the blood
they're covered in because "oh I wouldn't do
that if I were fuhrer"
assbot: Logged on 30-05-2015 00:40:56; mircea_popescu: honestly, if i was seriously contemplating living in
the us, i'd seriously consider getting a life sentence.
that way
they're stuck paying for it all
decimation: asciilifeform: and
then discover peers by asking
the seed about his connections?
BingoBoingo: <decimation> 50 years is less
than life <<
This kinda depends on
the age of
the person at
time of sentencing
decimation: asciilifeform: how
to replace? .conf with ips?
assbot: Logged on 29-05-2015 23:43:29; mircea_popescu:
this should be enough indication of
the importance of dns-in-bitcoin for
the shitgnome.
mircea_popescu: "If
they continue imprisoning
their betters
the result is going
to be
technically savvy warlords."
