Jul 3, 2016 at 10:03 PM - GoodTofuFriday: in china Jul 3, 2016 at 10:03 PM - VoodooMystic: I'm using my Inspiron N4010 right now, which has Zorin 9 Core 64 bit on it right now. running sooth as silk Jul 3, 2016 at 10:03 PM - GoodTofuFriday: that is quite an old alptop Jul 3, 2016 at 10:04 PM - VoodooMystic: I think my mom and dad got it in 2009-2010. i3, 4 GB RAM, and a 500 GB hard drive Jul 3, 2016 at 10:04 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: alptop is everest Jul 3, 2016 at 10:04 PM - VoodooMystic: actually, 6 GB of RAM. oops Jul 3, 2016 at 10:05 PM - Gameboi64: best part of windows NT before vista for me was the 3D Pinball game Jul 3, 2016 at 10:05 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: I had 4GB of ram in 2005. People called that crazy. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:05 PM - GoodTofuFriday: theres no laptop these days id buy Jul 3, 2016 at 10:05 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: Not it's the bare minimum. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:05 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: now* Jul 3, 2016 at 10:05 PM - Gameboi64: I have 4GB of ram now. people call that little Jul 3, 2016 at 10:06 PM - GoodTofuFriday: my macbook still uses 2gb ram. too lazy to upgrade
Jul 3, 2016 at 10:06 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: It's minimal. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:06 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: I got 10GB and I manage to fill it often. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:06 PM - VoodooMystic: I want a Mac so bad... I want to use ADX Trax Pro. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:06 PM - BLUamnEsiac: 2GB is a lot for XP, barely enough for Vista. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:06 PM - GoodTofuFriday: audio mixing? Jul 3, 2016 at 10:06 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: I once filled a 24GB ram rig in 2 sec. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:07 PM - VoodooMystic: It is a source separation tool that lets you isolate vocals / instruments from a mixed recording Jul 3, 2016 at 10:07 PM - GoodTofuFriday: i dont thimnk i could ever use more than 16gb of ram Jul 3, 2016 at 10:07 PM - GoodTofuFriday: wait theres software that can do that?? Jul 3, 2016 at 10:07 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: You could. Square a big rectangular matrix with uneven size. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:07 PM - BLUamnEsiac: you say that now... ;-P Jul 3, 2016 at 10:08 PM - VoodooMystic: Yes, and it's really the only one. it depends on the source you're working wih though, and it depends on how well the algorithms can see the vocals Jul 3, 2016 at 10:08 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: 64bit soft can basically use infinite ram. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:08 PM - VoodooMystic: Jul 3, 2016 at 10:08 PM - GoodTofuFriday: im sure in 4 years 16gb wont be enough Jul 3, 2016 at 10:08 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: infinity \approx 2^64 Jul 3, 2016 at 10:09 PM - BLUamnEsiac: One day it could be 16TB RAM. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:11 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: There are rigs that have close to a TB ram already Jul 3, 2016 at 10:11 PM - GoodTofuFriday: i cant imagine that Jul 3, 2016 at 10:12 PM - BLUamnEsiac: I can. 20 years ago I only had 16 MB RAM Jul 3, 2016 at 10:12 PM - VoodooMystic: It's all frequency based. none of it is center panned garbage, or EQ related. it essentially looks in the audio file and tries to "see" harmonically rich content. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:12 PM - GoodTofuFriday: I say that becuase programs are starting to plateu Jul 3, 2016 at 10:12 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: Scientific computing. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:12 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: Matrixes can get large fast. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:12 PM - VoodooMystic: which usually are vocals, or a guitar solo, what have you. it is amazing stuff. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:12 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: it's 15k$++ dollars jsut for the ram. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:13 PM - VoodooMystic: If I had a Mac, and $32.99 for just a month of using it, I'd jump on that shit right away. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:13 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: 16*64 DDR3 with dual xeons does exists! Jul 3, 2016 at 10:13 PM - GoodTofuFriday: cool program. its mac only?? Jul 3, 2016 at 10:13 PM - BLUamnEsiac: Local AI software could become a reality with massive RAM and CPU Jul 3, 2016 at 10:15 PM - VoodooMystic: And, I think they're never going to make a Windows version, because I know their total garbage 'unmixing station" software got cracked, and I think they fear porting it for that reason Jul 3, 2016 at 10:15 PM - VoodooMystic: Yep. it's Mac exclusive for now Jul 3, 2016 at 10:16 PM - Gameboi64: I thought it was a .adx music player Jul 3, 2016 at 10:16 PM - VoodooMystic: The separations are cloud based, and they use server farms to do all the calculations, and then it spits out the result, and you refine it. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:16 PM - Gameboi64: ps2 proprietary formats, yo
Jul 3, 2016 at 10:16 PM - GoodTofuFriday: that seems like an expensive program Jul 3, 2016 at 10:18 PM - VoodooMystic: Now, if you are wanting an instrumental, usually the results are a bit iffy. the acapellas it can make, however, are really good if you refine it. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:18 PM - VoodooMystic: $500 for a yearly license, yeah, and there's the $32.99 a month plan Jul 3, 2016 at 10:19 PM - Gameboi64: you know what the windows version of kega fusion doubles as since it has the function of using a raw read (Mega CD) Jul 3, 2016 at 10:19 PM - Gameboi64: it doubles as a CD Player and that is COOL Jul 3, 2016 at 10:20 PM - Gameboi64: it's also better than Media Player and trying to get CDs set up in VLC Jul 3, 2016 at 10:20 PM - Gameboi64: It's sure simple with VLC, but this is stylish Jul 3, 2016 at 10:21 PM - BLUamnEsiac: Still doesn't beat Winamo. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:21 PM - BLUamnEsiac: winamp Jul 3, 2016 at 10:21 PM - Gameboi64: it does in certain ways Jul 3, 2016 at 10:21 PM - Gameboi64: but winamp is the shit for playing lots of formats Jul 3, 2016 at 10:22 PM - Gameboi64: VLC and Winamp are the best for playing digital media Jul 3, 2016 at 10:22 PM - GoodTofuFriday: audacity Jul 3, 2016 at 10:22 PM - Gameboi64: KF is the best for playing CDs Jul 3, 2016 at 10:23 PM - RetroSwim: " I know their total garbage 'unmixing station" software got cracked, and I think they fear porting it for that reason" Probably also because their design is tightly coupled to OSX's audio pipeline? Jul 3, 2016 at 10:23 PM - RetroSwim: just as a guess Jul 3, 2016 at 10:29 PM - Kaida: Kaida last week: "July 4th is coming, meh." Jul 3, 2016 at 10:29 PM - Kaida: Kaida this morning:" July 4th is almost here. I should probably buy a fire extingusher..." Jul 3, 2016 at 10:32 PM - GoodTofuFriday: https://linustechtips.com/main/topi...ha-hack-cracks-video-limit-and-language-menu/ Jul 3, 2016 at 10:33 PM - BLUamnEsiac: the Juno spacecraft should be near Jupiter tomorrow Jul 3, 2016 at 10:36 PM - Kaida: Kaida Tonight: " July 4th isn't even here and I have doubts I will survive the night unburned..." Jul 3, 2016 at 10:36 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: you can do /me to talk first person Jul 3, 2016 at 10:36 PM - -=FamilyGuy=- told you Jul 3, 2016 at 10:37 PM - Kaida: ....a dedicated video camera that maxes out at 30min? rather typical of Sony... Jul 3, 2016 at 10:37 PM - BLUamnEsiac: Some comments brought up overheating. maybe that's why? Jul 3, 2016 at 10:38 PM - RetroSwim: From the company that brought you MP3 players that didn't play MP3s, comes video cameras that can't shoot long videos. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:38 PM - RetroSwim: Sony are dicks. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:38 PM - BLUamnEsiac: Agreed Jul 3, 2016 at 10:38 PM - Kaida: Oh, good point. I didn't realize building a camera was so hard.. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:38 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: Didn't they put a rootkit on a music cd too? Jul 3, 2016 at 10:38 PM - BLUamnEsiac: Yep Jul 3, 2016 at 10:38 PM - RetroSwim: Yeah, that too Jul 3, 2016 at 10:39 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: That's the dickiest move of dicky moves history Jul 3, 2016 at 10:39 PM - BLUamnEsiac: so far... Jul 3, 2016 at 10:39 PM - RetroSwim: Japanese companies in general are weird. Like, WTF is with Friend Codes, Nintendo? The difference is that Nintendo is meek, Sony don't give a shit.
Jul 3, 2016 at 10:39 PM - Kaida: my droid razr maxx can record video for up to 2 hrs w/o overheating.. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:39 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: Weird =/= evil Jul 3, 2016 at 10:40 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: Sony is evil Jul 3, 2016 at 10:40 PM - RetroSwim: Thats what I mean Jul 3, 2016 at 10:40 PM - -=FamilyGuy=- likes his ps3 though Jul 3, 2016 at 10:40 PM - RetroSwim: It's expected for Japanese companies to make strange-sounding decisions Jul 3, 2016 at 10:40 PM - -=FamilyGuy=- pirated it though so it's even? Jul 3, 2016 at 10:40 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: Strange to us, totally legit for japaneses Jul 3, 2016 at 10:40 PM - RetroSwim: But Sony don't give a shit, they'll root your PC because MUH DIGITAL RIGHTS Jul 3, 2016 at 10:41 PM - RetroSwim: Nintendo just thinks that their way is more fun/social or some shit, who knows, but at least it's innocuous. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:41 PM - Kaida: Sony Vaios come pre-rooted.. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:41 PM - BLUamnEsiac: So can my Droid RAZR M Jul 3, 2016 at 10:42 PM - RetroSwim: So can my iPhone 6+ (except that I cheaped out and got the 16GB one, so it's like a few minutes tops at full quality ) Jul 3, 2016 at 10:43 PM - BLUamnEsiac: I thought VAIO qas discontinued. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:43 PM - Kaida: my Vaio was from 207 Jul 3, 2016 at 10:43 PM - Sephirothkefka: vaio still lives Jul 3, 2016 at 10:43 PM - BLUamnEsiac: oh Jul 3, 2016 at 10:43 PM - Sephirothkefka: theyre still expensive but its mainly just a surfave killer Jul 3, 2016 at 10:43 PM - Kaida: ...somewhat antique.. Jul 3, 2016 at 10:44 PM - Sephirothkefka: *surface Jul 3, 2016 at 10:44 PM - Sephirothkefka: vaios were one of the first computers ive used Jul 3, 2016 at 10:44 PM - Kaida: so it's a tablet trying to doppelgang ur laptop? Jul 3, 2016 at 10:44 PM - Sephirothkefka: pcg-fx200 was the best Jul 3, 2016 at 10:45 PM - Sephirothkefka: though it had me originally Jul 3, 2016 at 10:45 PM - Sephirothkefka: xp worked well into sp2 Jul 3, 2016 at 10:46 PM - Sephirothkefka: even had a travelstar Jul 3, 2016 at 10:46 PM - Gameboi64: kill the surface tablets... Jul 3, 2016 at 10:46 PM - Sephirothkefka: whats wrong with them? Jul 3, 2016 at 10:46 PM - Syclopse: Jul 3, 2016 at 10:47 PM - Gameboi64: laptops are LAPTOPS not tablets Jul 3, 2016 at 10:47 PM - Sephirothkefka: its like netbooks gb Jul 3, 2016 at 10:47 PM - Sephirothkefka: itll die soon Jul 3, 2016 at 10:47 PM - Sephirothkefka: dont worry Jul 3, 2016 at 10:47 PM - Gameboi64: still Jul 3, 2016 at 10:47 PM - Gameboi64: netbooks aren't tablets even if they're close to them
Jul 3, 2016 at 10:52 PM - Gameboi64: 'm playing X6 for the opening stage Jul 3, 2016 at 10:52 PM - Gameboi64: *I'm Jul 3, 2016 at 10:54 PM - BLUamnEsiac: Do they still make netbooks? last one I got was in 2013 Jul 3, 2016 at 11:01 PM - TriMesh: I think netbooks have been superseded by "ultrabooks" - faster, but way more expensive Jul 3, 2016 at 11:01 PM - la-li-lu-le-lo: I got a new case for my Macbook recently. It's pretty nice; it has a magnetic latch thing, and it's very compact Jul 3, 2016 at 11:05 PM - RetroSwim: Netbooks were a bit of a fad Jul 3, 2016 at 11:06 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: Put an SSD in a late netbook. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:06 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: PERFECT TRAVEL COMPUTER. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:06 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: (with a lightweight linux) Jul 3, 2016 at 11:07 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: Cheap enough that you don't care about loosing/stealing too much. Functional enough for browsing/backing up photos/writing emails/reading news. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:08 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: I mean like backpacking travels, not business trips. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:10 PM - RetroSwim: I use mine for ADTPro to write Apple II floppies, otherwise it collects dust Jul 3, 2016 at 11:10 PM - RetroSwim: And only because my stupid cheap shitty USB-Serial adaptor doesn't have signed Win7 x64 drivers Jul 3, 2016 at 11:10 PM - RetroSwim: and the Linux kernel module is flaky af Jul 3, 2016 at 11:11 PM - RetroSwim: because STUPID ME, decided to not spend the extra $1 for an FTDI based adaptor Jul 3, 2016 at 11:11 PM - RetroSwim: smh Jul 3, 2016 at 11:13 PM - Kaida: just disable the req. for all drivers to be signed? Jul 3, 2016 at 11:18 PM - TriMesh: If it's a prolific chip, the reason there are no signed drivers is that they were crashing the machine Jul 3, 2016 at 11:19 PM - TriMesh: That's also why the later (Windows 8 and on) drivers don't support the old chips at all Jul 3, 2016 at 11:20 PM - DeChief: Immigration is the worst Jul 3, 2016 at 11:20 PM - DeChief: Waiting in lines for 6 hours Jul 3, 2016 at 11:21 PM - TriMesh: Where? Jul 3, 2016 at 11:21 PM - TriMesh: It was always pretty good in Japan in my experience Jul 3, 2016 at 11:23 PM - RetroSwim: kaida, then you have to do it on every boot, no thanks Jul 3, 2016 at 11:24 PM - TriMesh: ReadyDriver+ Jul 3, 2016 at 11:24 PM - RetroSwim: Trimesh, the worst immigration times I ever experienced were returning home to Australia Jul 3, 2016 at 11:25 PM - RetroSwim: entering USA, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and mainland China have all been 10-minute affairs Jul 3, 2016 at 11:25 PM - TriMesh: That's pretty crap - don't they have dedicated lines for AU passport holders? Jul 3, 2016 at 11:25 PM - RetroSwim: They do, but they're always the longest haha Jul 3, 2016 at 11:25 PM - Gameboi64: chiefy you leaving japan Jul 3, 2016 at 11:26 PM - TriMesh: I think my worst immigration experience was in the USA Jul 3, 2016 at 11:27 PM - TriMesh: Which was especially annoying, since I was going to Canada and had an onward flight Jul 3, 2016 at 11:27 PM - TriMesh: The flight was 3.5 hours after my arrival time Jul 3, 2016 at 11:27 PM - TriMesh: But they made me pick up my bags, go through customs and immigration and then check in again. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:28 PM - Gameboi64: wtf
Jul 3, 2016 at 11:28 PM - TriMesh: With all the TSA security nonsense I missed my flight... Jul 3, 2016 at 11:28 PM - Gameboi64: oh wow Jul 3, 2016 at 11:28 PM - Gameboi64: that's bullshit Jul 3, 2016 at 11:28 PM - Gameboi64: tsa pats down the wrong people Jul 3, 2016 at 11:29 PM - TriMesh: They were obviously used to it, since they just put me on the next one Jul 3, 2016 at 11:29 PM - TriMesh: Just added to the list of reasons I hate ORD Jul 3, 2016 at 11:30 PM - TriMesh: I go out my way to avoid transiting through the US now Jul 3, 2016 at 11:33 PM - TriMesh: So what's your least favorite airport? I think in my case it 's a tie between ORD and EWR Jul 3, 2016 at 11:35 PM - Gameboi64: never gone through customs, but I HATE going through security Jul 3, 2016 at 11:35 PM - Gameboi64: more than once I've been patted down for no good reason Jul 3, 2016 at 11:35 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: Customs is like security, but serious, Jul 3, 2016 at 11:36 PM - TriMesh: I just hate the delays Jul 3, 2016 at 11:37 PM - TriMesh: I'm sure there was a time I enjoyed flying Jul 3, 2016 at 11:37 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: Why they aim at you? Jul 3, 2016 at 11:38 PM - TriMesh: No, I just mean the general delays Jul 3, 2016 at 11:38 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: Really depends on the time you arrive. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:38 PM - TriMesh: You used to be able to arrive for a US domestic flight 30 minutes before takeoff Jul 3, 2016 at 11:38 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: And the period of the year. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:38 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: Then 9/11 happened. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:39 PM - TriMesh: Yeah, and it's been getting worse ever since Jul 3, 2016 at 11:39 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: It's almost only unbearable in the US on international flight. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:39 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: Elsewhere it's not that bad. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:39 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: That said, I'm a white dude from Canada, other's experience may vary. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:40 PM - TriMesh: Well, it's still not too bad in Asia Jul 3, 2016 at 11:40 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: I guess a belgian muslim will be bothered quite a lot... Jul 3, 2016 at 11:40 PM - mairsil: Nope, not allowed to profile. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:41 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: Intra-europe almost feels like taking a bus. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:41 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: "allowed" Jul 3, 2016 at 11:41 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: The US cops aren't "allowed" to profile either. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:41 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: That works well! Jul 3, 2016 at 11:41 PM - mairsil: Well, the number of TSA stories regarding singling out "little old ladies" still seem to outnumber the "outraged minority/international traveler" ones. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:42 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: Not talking about pat downs. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:42 PM - TriMesh: I had one strange experience a short while after 9/11 Jul 3, 2016 at 11:43 PM - TriMesh: I was doing a lot of internal US flights and started travelling pretty light Jul 3, 2016 at 11:43 PM - Gameboi64: should I make a thread about opening playstation .vab file
Jul 3, 2016 at 11:43 PM - Gameboi64: *files Jul 3, 2016 at 11:43 PM - TriMesh: I kept on getting hassle from the security Jul 3, 2016 at 11:44 PM - mairsil: Flying just sucks in general. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:44 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: I travelled to US in 2002 with a class. There was a Canadian/Algerian dude with us. He used his Can passport and didn't said a single word. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:44 PM - TriMesh: Eventually, I asked one of the security guys why I was getting stopped so many time Jul 3, 2016 at 11:44 PM - TriMesh: I said something like "come on, i don't think I look like a terrorist Jul 3, 2016 at 11:45 PM - TriMesh: He said, "no - but you do look a lot like the sort of person the FAA sends to test security" Jul 3, 2016 at 11:46 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: I also know of a black muslim veiled women that was refused entry in the US because her passport expired in ~ a year. Her white unveiled friend was allowed. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:46 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: She was going in the US to renew her passport at her embassy. There's none in canada. She had to fly to France. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:48 PM - TriMesh: Well, one thing I've learnt here is that if you are crossing the border to the PRC you never get in the line with black people in it Jul 3, 2016 at 11:48 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: That's sad. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:48 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: What's PRC? Jul 3, 2016 at 11:49 PM - TriMesh: Mainland China Jul 3, 2016 at 11:49 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: The poor girl is both muslim and black. Way to be ostracized in the US. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:49 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: Yeah I heard racism against blacks is a bigger thing that we'd think in asia. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:50 PM - TriMesh: It's not actually all blacks - but there is a list of nationalities that are on the immigration shitlist Jul 3, 2016 at 11:50 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: (She's very nice too and not a religious nutjob either, it's more a cultural anchor than anything) Jul 3, 2016 at 11:50 PM - TriMesh: And they are mostly African Jul 3, 2016 at 11:51 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: Well that's where there's the most african people. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:51 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: Just before the US. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:52 PM - TriMesh: In particular, you don't want to get stuck in a queue behind a group of Nigerans Jul 3, 2016 at 11:53 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: I guess it's going very bad in Nigeria nowadays, because Europe is full of illegals nigeria immigrants. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:53 PM - Sephirothkefka: im thinking of selling my exynos s7e Jul 3, 2016 at 11:53 PM - Sephirothkefka: dont know how much id sell it for tho Jul 3, 2016 at 11:53 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: The poor guys are forced to sell things on the streets (contraband, it's very annoying really) all day to pay for their "roof", and they're threatened to be deported. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:54 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: They're basicaly victims in their country being exploited in another and threatened to go back to their. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:54 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: The world is a sick place for sure. Jul 3, 2016 at 11:55 PM - Agent21KGB: i think zimbabew is worse Jul 3, 2016 at 11:55 PM - Agent21KGB: maybe Jul 3, 2016 at 11:55 PM - TriMesh: There are a lot of illegal Nigerians in Guangzhou too Jul 3, 2016 at 11:56 PM - TriMesh: But it makes life really hard for the people who are just trying to do business Jul 3, 2016 at 11:56 PM - -=FamilyGuy=-: Well, pertty much all the "black africa" is touchynowadays.
