Jan 11, 2016 at 7:59 PM - skyway1985: that's what amazon and direct shipping is for
Jan 11, 2016 at 7:59 PM - supersega: Oh, yeah..
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:00 PM - supersega: but when you want to play Persona 4 like NOW...
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:00 PM - supersega: I gotta do what I gotta do.
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:00 PM - skyway1985: stop using cheap shot or it will kill the new lasers too!!!!
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:00 PM - supersega: I am trying!!
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:01 PM - skyway1985: man how do you think my tubo is still alive after over 12 years of owner ship, or the laser In my staurm, that's the same jvc assembly I've had in my other Saturn since I was fucking 11
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:01 PM - skyway1985: I only put it in my jap Saturn cause my mod chip only worked on a jvc board not sanyo
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:02 PM - skyway1985: and I've played CD-R on it for YEARS, cause of using good media
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:02 PM - supersega: Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:02 PM - supersega: Sorry I'm not made of money.
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:02 PM - skyway1985: I'm 28 going on 29!!!!!!
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:02 PM - supersega: BRB.
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:02 PM - supersega: Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:02 PM - skyway1985: I'm lol Taiyoa are cheaper than what you paid on amazon lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:03 PM - skyway1985: man you just can't knock sense into the younger crowd, just remember Taiyo yuden doesn't make discs anymore so stock up
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:05 PM - Kappa: you dont even need taiyo discs
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:05 PM - Kappa: just get verbatims
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:06 PM - supersega: True, but they were the only DVD-Rs in town.
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:06 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: Verbatim Vynls work awesome
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:06 PM - AtomizerZero: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9mzvslgm7mz4yat/DSC_0251.JPG?dl=0
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:06 PM - AtomizerZero: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9mzvslgm7mz4yat/DSC_0251.JPG?dl=0
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:06 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: Oh wait those are DVD-Rs you're talking about
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:07 PM - AtomizerZero: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mhyr7o14mh6rcgx/DSC_0252.JPG?dl=0
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:07 PM - skyway1985: verbatim are a cap shoot they aren't any good any more
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:07 PM - Kappa: as long as its not store brand or the super cheapo generic brands youll be good
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:07 PM - supersega: Oh, cool.
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:07 PM - skyway1985: last batch of verbatim were cmc magnetics which are shit
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:07 PM - Kappa: the fact the taiyo disc ares the only good ones is just false
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:08 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: Verbatim Vynl CD-Rs are awesome
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:08 PM - skyway1985: the ones I had before were verbatim from Mitsubishi chemical, top fucking notch
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:08 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: Burned a couple Dreamcast software and a Sega CD game at max speed with them and they work great
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:08 PM - supersega: CMC Magnetics... dammit. Thats Memorex.
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:08 PM - skyway1985: mbj check what the manufacture is with imgburn and let me know
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:09 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: Will do

 

Jan 11, 2016 at 8:11 PM - skyway1985: theres only like 3 or 4 disc manufacturing facilities in the world now look it up, and they make ALL those brands floating out there
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:11 PM - GoodTofuFriday: back
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:11 PM - supersega: Mitsubishi, CMC, Taiyo Yuden, and...?
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:11 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: CMC Magnetics Corp.
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:12 PM - supersega: Yup, said CMC.
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:12 PM - skyway1985: jvc no longer makes disc so strike em
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:12 PM - supersega: Aww.
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:12 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: No that's what sky asked me about SS
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:12 PM - skyway1985: Taiyo got bought by jvc and they got out of the game last year
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:13 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: He asked what the manufacturer was
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:13 PM - skyway1985: Mitsubishi I don't know about
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:13 PM - skyway1985: that blue reflective dye is the closest you'll get to a pressed cd next to gold masters
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:14 PM - skyway1985: cmc isn't all that great, Plasmon is the WORST
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:14 PM - skyway1985: that's the other brand
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:14 PM - supersega: Oh.
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:14 PM - skyway1985: their discs are so damn translucent it's like looking through glass
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:14 PM - supersega: Ohh, ok. Why does the IFPI on my Memorex CDs say its a Prodisc Technology Inc. disc?
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:15 PM - skyway1985: SHITTY AS FUCK!!!
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:15 PM - supersega: Oh. HAHAAHAHAHAHAHA
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:16 PM - supersega: Cause those are the ones I bought.... shit.
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:16 PM - skyway1985: Taiwanese company that has said it was gonna shut down a bazillion times
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:18 PM - skyway1985: look it up no bullshit
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:18 PM - supersega: Oh.
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:18 PM - supersega: You're right... dammit.
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:18 PM - supersega: They'll just have to make due, because my parents told me this was tht absolute last time I could get media like this...
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:18 PM - LeHaM: I was blocked by someone on twitter because I proved rice doesn't fix liquid damage
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:18 PM - skyway1985: I cried cause my company used to resell Taiyo as their supreme discs and one day jvc told us they were done
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:19 PM - skyway1985: lmfao hahahaha
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:19 PM - GoodTofuFriday: joey. I need to make a GC component cable. Help me. pleaaasee
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:19 PM - skyway1985: it doesn't fix water damage, just helps to absorb moisture
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:19 PM - GoodTofuFriday: ill send you... idk im sure i have something
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:19 PM - supersega: Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:19 PM - LeHaM: doesn't even do that, the water evaporates at the same rate
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:19 PM - skyway1985: I though they had after market ones now what happened with em
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:20 PM - skyway1985: hahaha hah lol even better

 

Jan 11, 2016 at 8:20 PM - supersega: BRB.
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:20 PM - GoodTofuFriday: the guy with the bvm wants a gc component cable. so i want to make one
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:20 PM - LeHaM: rice actually complicates things as it introduces other junk
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:20 PM - skyway1985: I use silica gel as a drier for shot that gets wet
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:20 PM - skyway1985: sorta like the shot they put in shoes too
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:21 PM - skyway1985: my cats litter is silica
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:21 PM - LeHaM: it takes weeks for silica to pull water from air
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:22 PM - LeHaM: with something like a phone, absorbent material isn't gpoing to pull any moisture from the phone
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:22 PM - LeHaM: path of least resistance, water will come from the air
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:22 PM - LeHaM: if it was a wet object like poo, diferent story
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:23 PM - skyway1985: haha makes sense!
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:23 PM - LeHaM: there is no air moving through the device to draw moisture out, they are sealed
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:23 PM - skyway1985: norimaro in marvel super heros vs street fighter is great lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:24 PM - LeHaM: people that leave their phone in rice actually make it worse as they leave the phone for a week and let it corrode
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:24 PM - GoodTofuFriday: you are correct sir
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:24 PM - GoodTofuFriday: i had someone put the whole laptop in rice once.
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:24 PM - skyway1985: very true
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:24 PM - GoodTofuFriday: there was rice all up in the leyboard and vent
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:25 PM - skyway1985: heat gun actually works on a bare board after an alcohol and water bath
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:25 PM - skyway1985: no problem
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:27 PM - skyway1985: I believe that shit lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:28 PM - GoodTofuFriday: nowadays i dont work on water damage items. too much work and typically not enough gain
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:29 PM - skyway1985: very true
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:30 PM - skyway1985: man I think if SOA wouldn't have ducked up and released most of the Japanese rpgs and shooters in the us, the Saturn would have been godly here
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:31 PM - skyway1985: would have been just as successful as the PS for its variety
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:31 PM - LeHaM: liqud damage repair only for data recovery
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:31 PM - skyway1985: bUT no, stupid Sega of American didn't know what gamers really wanted....
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:31 PM - AtomizerZero: it works great and looks great too
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:33 PM - skyway1985: atomizer you talking about your rgb amp?
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:33 PM - Taom82: I dunno, Japanese gamers got all those games we didn't, and still refused to buy a dreamcast because of hype.....
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:33 PM - Sephirothkefka: also Bernie stolar
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:34 PM - Sephirothkefka: let's not forget him for pushing dreamcast
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:34 PM - Sephirothkefka: and then there's Peter moore
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:34 PM - Sephirothkefka: like Bernie but worse
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:34 PM - AtomizerZero: yeh skyway

 

Jan 11, 2016 at 8:34 PM - Sephirothkefka: he wanted SEGA to do strictly software
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:35 PM - skyway1985: Cool, glad your amp is doing it!
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:35 PM - AtomizerZero: feel high now though lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:35 PM - Sephirothkefka: but it was inevitable seeing how SEGA lost almost all of their money because of the DC
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:35 PM - skyway1985: from what? lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:35 PM - Taom82: say what now? lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:35 PM - Borman: Sega was in trouble long before the dreamcast
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:35 PM - AtomizerZero: fumes lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:36 PM - Sephirothkefka: I know
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:36 PM - Taom82: there was a slow decline, filled with many errors that sunk SEGA
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:36 PM - skyway1985: bit the DC only needed support, it got fucked big time
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:36 PM - Sephirothkefka: but the DC was the nail in the already existing coffin
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:36 PM - GoodTofuFriday: soa canceled streets of rage 4 on the saturn because the CEO never heard of the series...
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:36 PM - Sephirothkefka: lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:36 PM - AtomizerZero: i blame seaman
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:37 PM - Borman: More support wouldnt have helped a thing for the DC. The Sony machine was coming
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:38 PM - GoodTofuFriday: dc not saturn*
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:40 PM - Taom82: more support from Sega wouldn't have helped enough, the support they needed was from 3rd parties who were burned by the Saturn's difficult to program setup and the general knowledge that Sega was
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:40 PM - Taom82: running out of cash from several bad hardware decisions
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:40 PM - supersega: Back!
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:40 PM - supersega: Hi Taom!
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:40 PM - TriMesh: Yeah, that was the biggest problem - Sony hyped up the capabilities of the PS2 so much that a lot of people were waiting for it
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:40 PM - Taom82: lol@blaming seaman
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:40 PM - supersega: Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:40 PM - supersega: Hi Tri!
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:40 PM - TriMesh: Hi!
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:41 PM - GoodTofuFriday: How sega was then
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:42 PM - supersega: True... Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:46 PM - Taom82: lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:48 PM - supersega: Looking up IFPI codes is lots of fun...
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:48 PM - supersega: help
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:49 PM - supersega: Ooh! My copy of 4x4 Evolution is a Taiyo Yuden!!
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:51 PM - supersega: And Juiced is a Prodisc... may explain why it won't work.
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:52 PM - skyway1985: lmfao
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:52 PM - supersega: Rest are all Sony..

 

Jan 11, 2016 at 8:52 PM - skyway1985: lmfao tofu!!!
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:52 PM - supersega: New stack time!
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:55 PM - supersega: Netgear uses Roadrunner discs...?
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:56 PM - supersega: Same with ASRock!
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:56 PM - skyway1985: pressed discs are different than cd-rs if that's what your looking at
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:57 PM - skyway1985: ASrock?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:00 PM - supersega: Motherboard brand.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:01 PM - skyway1985: yeah pressed discs don't have the same deficiencies as a burned disc so they almost always play well
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:01 PM - supersega: Oh, cool.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:05 PM - TriMesh: A typical phthalocyanine CD-R will give you a read signal amplitude that's about 70% of the one you would get from a pressed CD
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:06 PM - skyway1985: trimesh knows what he's talking
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:06 PM - skyway1985: about
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:07 PM - TriMesh: The old cyanine dye discs were 85% or 90%
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:07 PM - supersega: Uhm...
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:07 PM - supersega: Ok!
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:07 PM - TriMesh: If you have access to a scope, it's really easy to test it
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:07 PM - TriMesh: All CD players have a testpoint that lets you monitor the RF signal
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:08 PM - skyway1985: and that's why I use blue bottom Taiyo most times
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:08 PM - skyway1985: canine dye
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:08 PM - skyway1985: cyanine dye lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:08 PM - TriMesh: Those and the Azo discs have the largest signal
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:09 PM - skyway1985: gold master cd-rs I've noticed are really high also, isn't that just AZO
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:09 PM - TriMesh: A lot of the old gold CDs were cyanine
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:09 PM - supersega: Hrm, ok.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:09 PM - TriMesh: For a long time, that was the only dye on the market
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:10 PM - supersega: I need to get a scope...
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:10 PM - TriMesh: The big problem with it is that it's quite unstable in UV light
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:10 PM - supersega: Not the mouthwash though.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:10 PM - supersega: Oh.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:11 PM - TriMesh: I posted this a while ago
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:11 PM - TriMesh: http://assemblergames.com/l/media/psx_eye_pattern.313/
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:11 PM - TriMesh: That's the CD readback signal from a PlayStation
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:12 PM - TriMesh: That's about 800mV P-P with an original pressed CD (so the pickup was bad - you typically get 1V to 1.2V)
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:12 PM - supersega: Nice!
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:13 PM - TriMesh: Incidentally, old analog scopes are best for this specific application

 

Jan 11, 2016 at 9:13 PM - supersega: Cool.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:14 PM - supersega: Last time I used a scope, I borrowed a friends. That was no fun to carry, lol.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:14 PM - TriMesh: Well, the modern DSOs are easier to carry anyway
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:15 PM - supersega: Absolutely, lol.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:15 PM - TriMesh: They will work, but unless it's a "digital phosphor" type it's a hassle to adjust
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:15 PM - supersega: It was a massive Rigol. It was awesome, but heavy. But worth the $15 so I didn't have to buy a new laser.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:15 PM - supersega: And oh, ok.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:16 PM - supersega: I just use a multimeter on Ohms at this point, lol.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:18 PM - TriMesh: It's quite easy to blow up the optical pickup like that
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:18 PM - supersega: Oh? Even just using it on the pots?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:19 PM - TriMesh: If this is the one on the side of the optical pickup assembly, yes
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:19 PM - TriMesh: They are set at the factory using an optical power meter
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:19 PM - supersega: ....crap.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:19 PM - supersega: Maybe you should tell Diggy then.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:20 PM - supersega: He told me its how he fixes PS2 lasers, and it worked (kinda), but ehheheh.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:20 PM - TriMesh: It does work - but it might run the diode at too high a power
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:20 PM - supersega: Eventually I gave up and bought a new laser. I think this TEST PS2 was a burnt game mule anyways. They were only sold to developers, right?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:21 PM - supersega: And oh, ok.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:21 PM - TriMesh: Yeah - and bad optical pickups are very common in PS2s anyway
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:21 PM - supersega: Oh, that makes sense...
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:22 PM - supersega: because every damn PS2 I've owned has gone under the knife (about 3 now).
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:22 PM - sp193: Trimesh, did you ever notice whether the KHS-400B in DEX units were ever different from the CEX version? SONY mentioned the service part for the DEX B-chassis as the "KHS-400B for DEX".
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:22 PM - supersega: Huh?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:22 PM - TriMesh: They look identical
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:23 PM - TriMesh: Maybe they selected high sensitivity ones?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:23 PM - sp193: AFAIK, in terms of jitter threshold... their targets are lower. I don't have the numbers on hand though.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:24 PM - sp193: I think that it could be to ensure that their DEX units stay in better condition than CEX units.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:24 PM - TriMesh: Well, the DEX units are expected to play recordable media
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:25 PM - supersega: And finally saw your post, sp. Dammit. Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:25 PM - sp193: They also changed the target again, for the late G-chassis (CXP103049 v3.8.x) and later.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:25 PM - TriMesh: But more signal will have the effect of reducing jitter
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:25 PM - TriMesh: since it will increase the slew rate at the bit transitions
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:26 PM - sp193: Sadly, I'm not trained to work with optical drives, so I always have problems understanding the explanations behind the optical block's functionality. Sorry!
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:26 PM - TriMesh: My guess is that they were just specially selected parts
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:27 PM - sp193: yea, that's possible.

 

Jan 11, 2016 at 9:27 PM - supersega: I have no idea what you guys aare talking about!
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:27 PM - sp193: I cloned the service tools. Do you want to give it a go? Someday, I'll release them for public use. So that people can calibrate their consoles the right way.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:27 PM - sp193: @supersega, we're talking about the laser in the DEX unit.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:28 PM - TriMesh: Well, it's pretty simple really - the signal coming out of the pickup is a combination of a perfect EFM waveform + noise
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:28 PM - supersega: Still makes no sense. Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:28 PM - sp193: Basically, it's analogue signal. There's the wanted signal... plus jitter (noise)?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:28 PM - TriMesh: And the decoder is looking for the transitions around the center of the waveform
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:29 PM - sp193: I see. Thanks!
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:29 PM - TriMesh: There are multiple sources of jitter
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:29 PM - TriMesh: Some are mechanical (like speed error on the spindle motor)
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:29 PM - TriMesh: But the one the pickup can help with is the jitter induced by noise
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:30 PM - supersega: Cool.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:30 PM - TriMesh: since the decoder is switching at the midpoint of the waveform, the faster the signal changes the less time a given level of noise represenst
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:31 PM - sp193: Would that explain why the newer models with the newer DSP (CXD3098Q) have a higher tolerance for jitter?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:31 PM - TriMesh: If we go back to this photo:
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:31 PM - TriMesh: http://assemblergames.com/l/media/psx_eye_pattern.313/
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:31 PM - TriMesh: Probably just a better decoder
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:32 PM - TriMesh: The thickening of the lines is jitter
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:32 PM - supersega: Hrm.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:32 PM - sp193: The service tool displays the jitter level in units, so I never actually studied the waveforms. :S
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:33 PM - supersega: That's the coolest thing!! I want to try that now. Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:33 PM - TriMesh: So as the rise time increases, the amount of time inside the decoder window that a given analog noise level represents increases
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:33 PM - supersega: Try it on FreeMCBoot. XD
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:34 PM - sp193: @TriMesh, thanks for the explanation. Did you major in course on this, or is this just something that you do for a living?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:35 PM - sp193: If you want to try out my tool, let me know and I'll send a PM. I am planning to keep it to a few people for now.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:35 PM - sp193: @supersega, sorry, but it's actually meant for people who know how to repair consoles lol. :S
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:35 PM - supersega: D'aww.... Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:35 PM - sp193: At least, in its current stage. You CAN total a optical block by inserting the wrong disc and turning on auto gain adjustment.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:35 PM - supersega: I'm more of a worker bee anyways. Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:35 PM - supersega: Oh.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:36 PM - sp193: Also, you need to know how to adjust the skew for minimal jitter. That part is not automatic.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:36 PM - sp193: But rightfully, this is done whenever the optical block (i.e. laser) is replaced.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:36 PM - supersega: Ah.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:37 PM - sp193: But someday, yeah. Everyone will get to use it.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:37 PM - supersega: I'm more of a "Laser doesn't work? Fuck it. Let's blow it up, shock yourself on the PSU not twice, but three times, and then buy/install a new laser." Lol

 

Jan 11, 2016 at 9:37 PM - sp193: What console did you actually get? Or is it a secret?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:37 PM - supersega: Me?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:37 PM - sp193: Hey, don't feel bad! D:
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:37 PM - sp193: I mean like, I really don't want to destroy other people's consoles. I made the tool with a condemned SCPH-10000, and I know that there is no way it will read DVDs now.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:38 PM - supersega: Not feeling bad. If I recorded this and put it on YT, I'd be rich. Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:38 PM - supersega: Ah, interesting...
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:38 PM - supersega: As my PS2 wouldn't do DVD games either, I found out. GT4 always froze up at the Viper part of the intro.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:38 PM - supersega: Yet CDs were fine.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:38 PM - sp193: Original DVD games?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:38 PM - supersega: Yup.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:39 PM - supersega: All the other original DVD games I ahve are broken for sure.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:39 PM - sp193: Well... sorry to hear that. :S
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:39 PM - sp193: I hope that it's really just because it's old. Like a DTL-H30001 lol.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:39 PM - supersega: Me too, lol.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:40 PM - supersega: My theory is that it was a test mule at a developer running burnt games and then was bought by the guy I bought it from and then sold. Sounds reasonable?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:40 PM - sp193: Yea, that's what it was meant for.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:41 PM - sp193: Before the DEX was made, they had to use TOOL units.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:41 PM - supersega: Ah, ok.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:41 PM - Taom82: my theory is......after seeing SS shock himself on the PSU three times.....the laser committed suicide
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:41 PM - supersega: That could be too.... Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:41 PM - sp193: LOL!
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:42 PM - supersega: It would have been all like "This dumbass? No way man, I ain't doing this!"
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:42 PM - supersega: *dies*
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:42 PM - Taom82: I'd blindfold the new laser before you begin work SS
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:43 PM - supersega: Good idea. Maybe waterboard it into telling me all the game info? While its turned on?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:43 PM - Taom82: ........no
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:43 PM - Taom82: ,just no
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:44 PM - supersega: XD
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:44 PM - sp193: But seriously... so the model number is a secret?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:44 PM - supersega: I am not that stupid!
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:44 PM - supersega: No sp, lol. I can get that for you if it benefits you at all.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:44 PM - sp193: nah, it's okay if you don't know it. I was just curious lol. Some of the guys here can get really rare models.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:45 PM - supersega: Lol, oh! In that case....
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:45 PM - sp193: I realized that there were only a few DTL-H30000 models. Assembler got a Korean unit, which I don't think that I've seen anyone else got.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:45 PM - supersega: 321842 is SN,

 

Jan 11, 2016 at 9:46 PM - Taom82: coming to youtube soon......my new favorite show!....watch SS 'fix' things
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:46 PM - supersega: XD
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:46 PM - sp193: @Taom82: why? I didn't pay attention to all of his posts. So he's just... not so great at fixing stuff?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:46 PM - supersega: I'll do that!! BRB though.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:46 PM - Taom82: nah, just giving him crap
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:46 PM - supersega: No! I am... just pretty damn clumsy.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:46 PM - sp193: Well, I should be worse than you lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:46 PM - supersega: Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:46 PM - sp193: So I now refuse to try to fix anything. :S
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:47 PM - sp193: As in, on the SMD level. My eyesight and hands are horrible. Even though I am only 23.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:48 PM - Taom82: I'd make a bifocal crack but that wouldn't help the hands any
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:48 PM - supersega: Ah. I'm only 16 and I'm a dumbass.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:49 PM - Taom82: well to be fair SS.....16 is a synonym for dumbass
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:49 PM - Taom82: so that part isn't your fault
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:50 PM - Taom82: you'll probably grow out of it
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:50 PM - supersega: Ah, good. Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:50 PM - sp193: haha. We were all 16 once. I wish that I did some things differently before I grew up lol.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:50 PM - Taom82: you guys think he saw me trying not to laugh when I said that last part?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:50 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: What about 19?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:50 PM - sp193: You never get as much free time as when you were younger.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:50 PM - sp193: I think that 19 is when you start to get into shape.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:50 PM - Taom82: true sp
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:51 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: Ah ok
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:51 PM - sp193: Although I only realized how stupid I was, when I was about 20 or 21.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:51 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: I'll be 20 in April
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:51 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: Still can't believe it
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:51 PM - Taom82: Adulthood.....a steady process of realizing just how stupid you are
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:52 PM - sp193: In case I forgot or get swamped in studies, a super-nearly HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:52 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:52 PM - sp193: *early
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:52 PM - sp193: @Taom82: yeah. :S Or the process of realizing how wasteful you were, or how you should have done things differently.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:52 PM - TriMesh: Well, that's always been true - the more you learn, the more you realized just how much more there is to learn
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:52 PM - Taom82: true
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:53 PM - Taom82: indeed@tri
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:53 PM - supersega: Back!

 

Jan 11, 2016 at 9:53 PM - Taom82: I'm planning on ignoring the month of April this year....daughter turns 18 :\
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:53 PM - sp193: @SS: if you got a model like DTL-H301xx or DTL-H101xx, then you got something less common. Even rarer models would be those less heard of, like the DTL-H75000 or something.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:53 PM - TriMesh: The Dunning-Kruger effect
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:54 PM - supersega: I did, sp. It was a 30001.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:54 PM - sp193: Or some weird configuration like a B-chassis Jap unit lol.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:54 PM - supersega: Oh wow, Taom.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:54 PM - supersega: Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:54 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: Time flies doesn't it?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:54 PM - sp193: It's a US set?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:55 PM - Taom82: lol yeah.....you complain about the toddler years...till you get to the teenage years and then you wish they were toddlers again
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:55 PM - supersega: Yup, US.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:55 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:55 PM - sp193: haha
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:56 PM - supersega: Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:56 PM - sp193: @SS: I see. well, enjoy it. While it's probably the most common DEX unit behind the A-chassis DTL-H10000, it got an auto-tilt motor.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:56 PM - TriMesh: I'm old enough to have learnt that there is lots of stuff I don't know...
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:56 PM - supersega: Oh, cool.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:57 PM - sp193: When i entered University this year, I discovered how big the world is. And I am in probably one of the smallest countries in the world.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:57 PM - supersega: Tri, aren't you like 35?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:57 PM - supersega: Woah SP, that's deep.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:57 PM - TriMesh: Other way round
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:57 PM - supersega: 53? Woaj.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:57 PM - supersega: *Woah.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:57 PM - TriMesh: Yeah, I'm old for sure
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:57 PM - sp193: As I grow older, I learned that not everyone out there was out to get me. People aren't as all as cold and mean as I thought... although there are bad apples.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:58 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: The smallest country is so small that it's inside the capital of another country
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:58 PM - supersega: Don
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:58 PM - supersega: 't say that, Tri!
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:58 PM - Taom82: you'll never learn it all, especially within technical fields which change almost daily. I try to learn new things every day though, just a different way of growing
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:58 PM - supersega: You probably have at least 30 more years!
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:58 PM - sp193: I am also grateful that there are people who are wonderful at their interests, and are also willing to share. Back then, I used to think that nobody would want to share knowledge.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:58 PM - supersega: Ah.
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:59 PM - supersega: But then you found Assembler, right?
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:59 PM - TriMesh: @MBJ, yeah, Vatican City
Jan 11, 2016 at 9:59 PM - sp193: But if I actually lived closer to any of them, I would love to send my broken PS2s over for solder work lol

 

Jan 11, 2016 at 9:59 PM - sp193: I discovered that, after I joined actually.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:00 PM - TriMesh: Also the only place where the ATMs offer Latin as a language option
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:00 PM - supersega: WOAH! You livein Vatican City?!?
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:00 PM - supersega: Oh, sp.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:00 PM - supersega: Interesting.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:00 PM - sp193: Right now, I have 3 broken consoles and 1 network adaptor.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:00 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: They offer Latin on ATMs there??
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:01 PM - supersega: Have you met the Pope?!?
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:01 PM - TriMesh: No, but I've been there, and yes, Latin is one of the language choices
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:01 PM - supersega: Oh, cool!
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:01 PM - sp193: I always thought that Trimesh was from Hong Kong or something. I guess not?
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:02 PM - TriMesh: I live in HK now
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:02 PM - supersega: Oh, oops.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:02 PM - TriMesh: I came from the UK
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:02 PM - Taom82: lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:02 PM - TriMesh: And I've lived all over the place
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:02 PM - sp193: Oh okay. Thanks.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:02 PM - supersega: Awesome!
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:03 PM - supersega: I kinda want to move to Japan once I get out of college, because I want to do computer hardware engineering, and how many places in the US do that?
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:03 PM - TriMesh: US, Canada, Japan, Germany, the Netherlands..
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:03 PM - supersega: Woah!
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:03 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: Is it true that you can start a business in Hong Kong in under 6 hours?
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:04 PM - sp193: Wow
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:04 PM - TriMesh: Yeah, but in that case you have to transfer an already existing company
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:04 PM - supersega: Cool!
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:04 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: There was an ABC news special on it a while ago
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:05 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: They were talking about world economies or something like that and they did that
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:05 PM - TriMesh: It's an interesting place
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:06 PM - TriMesh: For example, the top tax rate here is 17%
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:06 PM - supersega: Woah.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:06 PM - supersega: And Americans complained 9% was high!
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:07 PM - TriMesh: The top rate in the US is about 40%
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:08 PM - TriMesh: I think you have to earn about $400k/year to hit it, though
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:08 PM - supersega: Oh, oops.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:08 PM - TriMesh: There are also no sales taxes here

 

Jan 11, 2016 at 10:08 PM - supersega: AWESOME!
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:09 PM - supersega: Seems I'd love it. Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:09 PM - TriMesh: And except for a few things (like alcohol an tobacco) there are no import duties, either
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:09 PM - supersega: Noice!
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:09 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: Wasn't it Hong Kong that had the giant rubber ducks floating through the city a couple years back?
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:09 PM - TriMesh: Yeah
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:10 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: Why don't we do that here?
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:10 PM - supersega: I'd love to go there to live, but the only Japanese I know is from Filthy Frank videos, and that all has to deal with ramen... Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:10 PM - TriMesh: They don't speak Japanese
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:11 PM - supersega: OOPS
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:11 PM - supersega: Wow.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:11 PM - supersega: I... am the most stupid person ever.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:11 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: They speak Chinese lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:11 PM - TriMesh: Lots of people on the island speak English anyway - the native language is a dialect of Chinese called Cantonese
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:11 PM - supersega: I know that.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:11 PM - supersega: Not that, Tri, but what Joey said. Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:12 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: Ah ok
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:12 PM - supersega: So! Maybe I should move to HK. There are so many PCB manufacturers there...
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:12 PM - TriMesh: Which is different from the mainland chinese
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:12 PM - sp193: They have 4 seasons too, something that I didn't experience before going there lol.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:12 PM - TriMesh: And by "different" I mean "largely mutually unintelligible"
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:13 PM - Taom82: I'm telling you SS.....you should move to Youtube
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:13 PM - supersega: Lol, Taom.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:13 PM - supersega: I will eventually.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:14 PM - supersega: And I will shock myself on PS1 power supplies just for you. <3
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:14 PM - sp193: You mean Mandarin? Honestly, I don't understand the mainland Chinese well either.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:14 PM - TriMesh: And you can fly to Tokyo from here in 4 hours
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:14 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: That's quicker than flying from Florida lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:15 PM - supersega: Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:15 PM - Taom82: nonsense, I'll send you bigger (wattage) power supplies to shock yourself with! <3
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:15 PM - supersega: Aww, thanks!!
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:15 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: Lol I'll grab the popcorn for that
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:15 PM - TriMesh: Yeah, mandarin
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:15 PM - TriMesh: Although depending on where you are, other dialects can be pretty common
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:17 PM - supersega: Oh.

 

Jan 11, 2016 at 10:17 PM - TriMesh: For example, if you go to a little village in Guangdong province, people will normally speak Cantonese - not exactly the same as the HK version, but close enoguh
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:17 PM - supersega: Ah, ok/
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:17 PM - supersega: but it is possible for a stupid yankee like me to go there and actually function like a human being? Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:17 PM - TriMesh: In HK?
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:18 PM - supersega: Yeah.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:18 PM - TriMesh: Sure, I live there and my Chinese is almost nonexistent
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:18 PM - TriMesh: Good enough to order food and (sometimes) ask for directions
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:19 PM - supersega: Awesome!!
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:19 PM - TriMesh: Being able to read a bit does help a lot, though
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:19 PM - supersega: New Goal; become engineer in China and have lunch with TriMesh someday. Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:19 PM - supersega: I bet.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:19 PM - TriMesh:
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:19 PM - TriMesh: All the official signs are in English and Chinese
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:19 PM - TriMesh: Because it used to be a British colony
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:20 PM - supersega: Oh, interesting!
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:20 PM - supersega: But then leads me to "what do I want to do?". Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:21 PM - supersega: Computer hardware engineering looked real cool, but I realized how much math there is... I am not the greatest at math.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:21 PM - supersega: Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:22 PM - TriMesh: Does that mean you aren't good at it, or you just haven't tried?
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:22 PM - skyway1985: Practice makes perfect
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:22 PM - Borman: There is a sentiment that it is okay to be bad at math, and sadly there are a lot of teachers that don't do enough to counter that.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:22 PM - supersega: I am not a very math-oriented being. Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:23 PM - supersega: For example, I had an 82 in Algebra 1 last year...
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:23 PM - TriMesh: That could just be bad teachers thoguh
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:23 PM - Borman: Algebra is the useful stuff. Put some more work in
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:23 PM - supersega: Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:23 PM - supersega: Could be Tri, but my math teacher was an ex-college professor...
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:24 PM - TriMesh: I honestly never liked math that much early on, because the way it was presented made it seem boring and useless
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:24 PM - supersega: Thats how I think I am!
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:24 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: Same
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:25 PM - Borman: Taking that step towards using it in computers helps a lot though. Just having a reason. I get not being able to just memorize it how a teacher sometimes does it.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:25 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: HOLY CRAP
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:25 PM - supersega: Oh, ok Borman.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:25 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: KIRITO JUST TALKED DURING A NORMAL CUTSCENE
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:25 PM - supersega: ....

 

Jan 11, 2016 at 10:25 PM - Borman: But when you start to see the value, and truly see it as problem solving, it comes together
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:25 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: HE'S NEVER DONE THAT OUTSIDE OF A FULLY ANIMATED ONE
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:25 PM - GoodTofuFriday: Hey. I took up to calc 3 and statistics
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:25 PM - GoodTofuFriday: And I remember nothing g
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:26 PM - Borman: All im saying, is don't just give up because you think your mind cant handle it
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:26 PM - supersega: Cool Borman! Never thought about that.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:26 PM - supersega: Gotcha!
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:26 PM - TriMesh: For me, it was electrical enigneering
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:26 PM - supersega: Lol Tofu. XD
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:27 PM - GoodTofuFriday: Problems would take a page and a half to fully write out
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:27 PM - TriMesh: There is a lot of math in EE
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:27 PM - supersega: Thats what I'm afraid of.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:27 PM - GoodTofuFriday: Since you had to show all of your work and I was doing engineering level math
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:27 PM - supersega: I also cannot write well to save my life, if you saw my For Sale post.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:28 PM - supersega: http://assemblergames.com/l/threads/supersegas-room-cleanup-sale.59472/
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:28 PM - supersega: Yes, that is indeed my normal handwriting...
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:28 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: That was a heart warming cutscene
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:29 PM - TriMesh: But once you start to see that this stuff is not arbitrary, but actually maps onto how the world works on a very fundamental level then it stops seeming boring.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:29 PM - MonkeyBoyJoey: No weirdness
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:29 PM - supersega: surprised no teachers have tried to yell at me to write neater.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:29 PM - supersega: Gotcha Tri!
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:31 PM - TriMesh: One interesting example is finite fields
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:31 PM - supersega: No idea what that is, so have fun with it! Lol
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:31 PM - TriMesh: The basic theory was developed by a 21 year old French guy, who wrote it out the day before he got killed in a duel
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:31 PM - supersega: Lol, nice.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:32 PM - TriMesh: And it was one of those things that was interesting, but not really useful for over 100 years.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:32 PM - supersega: Hrm, ok.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:32 PM - TriMesh: But that mathematics is the basis for the error correction used on things from optical disks to digital TV
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:33 PM - supersega: Cool!
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:34 PM - supersega: I'll BRB guys.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:55 PM - supersega: Back.
Jan 11, 2016 at 10:58 PM - supersega: I think I want to do hardware engineering...

Jan 11, 2016 at 11:03 PM - supersega: Yeah, but the pain and agony of waiting for a new laser is.

Jan 11, 2016 at 11:07 PM - supersega: But okay, Dig. He said that the multimeter won't work for fixing lasers He said as it will work, it will blow up the laser diode if done for too much.
Jan 11, 2016 at 11:07 PM - Sephirothkefka:
