02:11 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> I think the year is rapidly approaching that is going to be the limit for which I won't buy a newer car..
02:12 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> (it has already passed probably)
02:13 PM xxcoder: yeah, I dont want any car that come from company that thinks screen can replace controls for stuff like heat and stuff
02:13 PM xxcoder: let alone ones that show ads
03:24 PM memleak: for me there's not really any new car i'd want even with an endless budget
03:25 PM xxcoder: i'd get some kind of ev
03:25 PM memleak: so many things are switching to hybrids and evs, and i really don't want any of those
03:30 PM memleak: the mclaren p1 is the only hybrid i'd ever consider if money wasn't a problem lol

07:56 PM Tom_L: https://www.google.com/maps/@23.7010566,-91.2699841,5.87z?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDIwOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

08:03 PM memleak: mexico is still mexico

08:36 PM lcnc-relay: <tyrantelf@> renaming stuff keeps the outrage for unconsequential bullshit high while they do the actual stuff we shoud be worried about in the background

08:47 PM Au70: Anyone on that's familiar with EtherCAT and cia402? I'm strugglin to grok the docs
09:07 PM memleak: Au70, have you seen this? https://forum.linuxcnc.org/ethercat/45336-ethercat-installation-from-repositories-how-to-step-by-step
09:07 PM Au70: Lemme check
09:08 PM Au70: yep, that's how I got started, but I'll admit I haven't been thorugh all 39 pages of posts >_<
09:09 PM Au70: I'll keep digging there though, ty for pointing out the obvious
09:09 PM memleak: what part are you stuck on?
09:09 PM memleak: i've never used it but i've been a linux dev for almost 20 years
09:11 PM Au70: Ah, my issue feels pretty in-the-weeds. I have a Beckhoff EL7041 and am trying to configure a `.hal` file for it. In example .hal files I see the `cia402.0.statusword` getting mapped to something like `lcec.0.0.cia-statusword`, but when I look at pins for my drive I cannot find any `statusword` pins/variables
09:11 PM memleak: oof, yeah i know nothing about hal files
09:11 PM Au70: haha no worries, thanks anyway
09:11 PM memleak: or statusword lol
09:13 PM Au70: alright, gotta go, I'll keep digging through the forums in case I missed anything < 3
