04:42 AM Tom_L: i ran out of brick walls years ago
03:44 PM aandrew: rue_mohr> it might be more valuable to use knowledge of which protocol it is to get the right adatper
03:44 PM aandrew: it'll be MIPI DSI. Not a whole lot of flex in there, but driving it will be tricky without an adapter. MIPI is a nasty protocol
03:56 PM aandrew: well, my im-going-on-vacation-and-want-to-water-the-tree project is scrapped, it is working but there's some odd siphoning going on that causes the thing to overfill. the float switch shuts things down, but the siphoning overfills anyway.
03:56 PM aandrew: the leak sensor in the drip tray under the tree saw the leak and the pump was alreayd off, so no good. The leak sensor on the floor of the room which trips off the power for the entire device also worked fine and killed power, but siphoning doesn't need power
03:57 PM aandrew: I need a valve or to figure out how it's siphoning and kill it that way, but I'm alreayd in montreal so the tree will be thoroughly dead when I get back
04:07 PM aandrew: it was a fun little project and I know how to fix it next time, but just out of time
04:09 PM aandrew: oddly, the pump was *below* the reservoir but I guess it was close enough that it could still siphon
04:14 PM polprog: https://streamable.com/yh5v4l
04:14 PM polprog: i got the radio test kit
04:14 PM polprog: its is so cool
04:14 PM polprog: :D
04:15 PM polprog: it can do AM modulation and GMSK
04:16 PM aandrew: nice. I have a fancy sdr thing but gnuradio is really challenging
04:18 PM polprog: i tried to learn gnuradio but damn
04:26 PM rue_shop1: I hate it when
04:30 PM rue_shop1: someone asks for help, which takes pushing 3 buttons
04:31 PM rue_shop1: and it takes half an hour to walk them thru pushing them
04:38 PM aandrew: which part, the not thinking past their nose to figure out the three buttons, the having to hand-hold them through the pressing of them, or the insistence that they are entitled to your time to figure out the three buttons and then the incredulity of you not going there to press them for them?
05:21 PM Tom_L: i have no patience for stupid and would make a horrible teacher
06:57 PM rue_mohr: the "I dont have time to concentrate on executing your help and I dont have what I need for this task anyhow"
09:01 PM rue_mohr: 3925...
09:28 PM Tom_L: should we up the anty?
11:39 PM rue_shop1: :]
11:39 PM rue_shop1: I'm still amazed
11:39 PM rue_shop1: I mean, its voluntary
