[00:17]<@BC_Programming> lol
[00:17]<Quantos> Heya man
[00:17]<Quantos> How's things?
[00:18]<@BC_Programming> Not bad, not bad
[00:20]<@BC_Programming> I found that all my PATA/IDE DVD/RW drives were borked for some reason, I had like 5 of them with the same issue- the tray was stuck
[00:20]<@BC_Programming> apparently brute force does fix problems because I literally forced them open and ripped the trays out, then put them back in and it fixed them?
[00:20]<@BC_Programming> not going to complain
[00:22]<@BC_Programming> I also replaced my CPU Cooler for no reason, first time using a Non-stock cooler
[00:22]<Quantos> PB&J holding them closed?
[00:22]<@BC_Programming> heh
[00:22]<@BC_Programming> I think I must have forced the drives open to remove discs and it screwed them up? not sure
[00:22]<Quantos> I've got one like that, it's fine in the summer when the humidity is high
[00:22]<Quantos> Sticks in the winter
[00:23]<Quantos> Oh, you didn't use that convenient little pokey hole?
[00:23]<@BC_Programming> Convenient? who has paper clips these days
[00:23]<Quantos> What's paper?
[00:24]<Quantos> Keep in mind I haven't printed anything in about 20 years
[00:25]<@BC_Programming> I suppose I could have taken off the faceplace instead since there's a bigger gap to the forced eject mechanism
[00:25]<Quantos> Yeah, but then you gotta take the drive out
[00:25]<Quantos> That's like labor of some kind...
[00:25]<@BC_Programming> They weren't inside computers at the time so that wouldn't have been an issue
[00:26]<Quantos> Well that explains why you had to force them
[00:26]<@BC_Programming> I managed to leave that little sticker on the heatsink when I installed it, despite both seeing it and saying "what kind of dumbass would leave that on"
[00:27]<Quantos> LMAO
[00:27]<Quantos> I was looking for my thermal paste one day
[00:27]<Quantos> I had to put it down to open a drawer....
[00:27]<@BC_Programming> "70 degrees at idle, this is worse than the standard cooler, Let's try again... oh... this may be the issue..."
[00:27]<Quantos> LOL, yeap
[00:30]<@BC_Programming> meanwhile I've still not overclocked my unlocked processor, lol
[00:31]<Quantos> Yeah, mines not OC either, I just don't see the point in the added heat for no performance gain
[00:31]<Quantos> Well, minimal performance gain
[00:31]<@BC_Programming> I actually got the cooler to experiment with my older build but put it in this one- plan was to replace my Q8200 in that system with a QX6700
[00:31]<Quantos> Ah
[00:31]<@BC_Programming> The QX6700 seems to idle a ta very high temp and I don't like that at all
[00:32]<@BC_Programming> Minimal performance gain, higher heat output and power usage... hmm sounds like overclocking I guess lol
[00:32]<Quantos> Tcase on it is 64.5C
[00:33]<Quantos> Wow, they actually called that one 'Extreme'
[00:34]<@BC_Programming> Yeah that is why I got it, looked it up and it was the fastest processor supported on my old PCs motherboard
[00:34]<Quantos> I don't know why it would idle high though

[00:34] * ChanServ sets mode: +a

[00:35]<@BC_Programming> bloody wireless
[00:35]<Quantos> Yeah
[00:36]<@BC_Programming> of course I wouldn't have bought it new, no chance
[00:36]<@BC_Programming> but 40$ seemed fairly reasonable to beef it up
[00:36]<Quantos> That's not bad
[00:41]<Quantos> I just noticed this blinking green light in my computer, I wonder what it's for
[00:41]<@BC_Programming> That's the detonation timer
[00:41]<Quantos> I'd look but that involves moving my dock and my monitor
[00:41]<Quantos> Oh, if that's all then it's okay
[00:42]<@BC_Programming> yeah true obsolescence
[00:42]<@BC_Programming> true force obsolescence rather
[00:42]<Quantos> Yeap
[00:42]<@BC_Programming> probably network though? is it inside or outside
[00:42]<Quantos> It's inside
[00:42]<@BC_Programming> I've noticed a lot of blinking nonsense inside mine too,
[00:43]<Quantos> I'm curious, I have to look
[00:43]<Quantos> brb
[00:43]<@BC_Programming> maybe it's one of those lights they put aroundto be hip and cool and pop n fresh
[00:43]<@BC_Programming> Like my graphics card has a LED to indicate when the fan isn't on, because the fact that it's not damned spinning isn't enough of a clue, you need a giant "FAN STOP" light
[00:45]<Quantos> It's a little green diode by the RAM, I guess the blinking was me looking at it through the grill
[00:45]<Quantos> It's labeled AUX
[00:45]<Quantos> Probably only HP knows what it is
[00:46]<@BC_Programming> It's still funny to me that my case has a Window but I have it in a little alcove on it's side so it's impossible to actually see through it
[00:47]<Quantos> I would get one with a window, but I'm too damned lazy to go drapery shopping
[00:47]<Quantos> Har har har
[00:47]<@BC_Programming> Apparently I can change the color of that "FAN STOP" LED, damn, glad they spent engineering figuring that one out
[00:47]<Quantos> I'm going to take this opportunity to apologize for my sense of humor....
[00:48]<Quantos> I wonder how much more you paid for that
[00:48]<@BC_Programming> I got the cheapest 1070 I could find
[00:48]<Quantos> Zotac?
[00:48]<@BC_Programming> no at the time it was Gigabyte
[00:48]<Quantos> I'm kidding
[00:49]<@BC_Programming> They always have that stupid crap
[00:49]<@BC_Programming> like can't they just sell a damned graphics card, not a fucking rave show
[00:49]<Quantos> I'm hoping that you wouldn't waste money on a Zotac
[00:49]<@BC_Programming> If I want to see vivid colors I'll take LSD
[00:49]<Quantos> Hey, they found out that's the perfect diet pill too
[00:50]<Quantos> You can't raid the fridge with the dragons guarding it
[00:50]<@BC_Programming> It's like people calling their PC a Rig, just stop
[00:51]<Quantos> They just want to sound cool like a heroin addict
[00:51]<Quantos> I have a rig too
[00:51]<@BC_Programming> It annoys me for some reason, I imagine them with a hard hat like a worker on an Oil Rig "yep, just got the rig all set up"
[00:52]<Quantos> Or a truck driver
[00:52]<Quantos> Crane op
[00:52]<Quantos> Let's see, who else
[00:52]<@BC_Programming> or any number of real jobs
[00:52]<Quantos> Yeap
[00:53]<@BC_Programming> where it's not just "I connect pieces designed to go together and feel smart about it"
[00:53]<Quantos> Or real drug problems
[00:53]<Quantos> Oh, and they only go where they're supposed to....
[00:53]<@BC_Programming> is "Rig" a drug term?
[00:53]<Quantos> Yeah
[00:53]<Quantos> Rig is a syringe and needle
[00:54]<@BC_Programming> That makes it's use with PC builds all the more hilarious
[00:54]<Quantos> Yeap
[00:55]<Quantos> I'll be right down Mom, I'm shooting up with my new PC
[00:55]<Quantos> Just gotta cook the mobo a bit more...
[00:56]<Quantos> Good thing I left the sticker on the heatsink...
[00:56]<Quantos> :P
[00:56]<@BC_Programming> cookie monster in the bathroom stall with a spoon and a lighter.... and cookie dough
[00:56]<Quantos> Yeap
[00:56]<Quantos> I think that was from Robot Chicken wasn't it?
[00:56]<@BC_Programming> I don't remember
[00:57]<@BC_Programming> I've never seen that so probably something else
[00:57]<Quantos> Yeah, it seems familiar though
[00:57]<Quantos> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGTYgRh-PI8
[01:01]<Quantos> BRB, gotta let the mutt out
[01:03]<Abbie> Hey
[01:04]<@BC_Programming> who dis
[01:04]<Quantos> Hi Abbie
[01:05]<Abbie> Sorry, I accidently send that message to every channel im on
[01:06]<Abbie> Should probably disconnect from ZNC when im pissing around with irc cmds
