L5[04:49:44] <Va​ur> %tonk

L6[04:49:44] <MichiBot> Zounderkite! Va​ur! You beat Forec​aster's previous record of 3 hours, 22 minutes and 38 seconds (By 1 hour, 32 minutes and 31 seconds)! I hope you're happy!

L7[04:49:45] <MichiBot> Vaur's new record is 4 hours, 55 minutes and 9 seconds! Vaur also gained 0.00616 (0.00154 x 4) tonk points for stealing the tonk. Position #2. Need 0.08313963 more points to pass Forec​aster!

L10[07:32:21] <Forec​aster> Hmm

L11[07:32:42] <Forec​aster> I just got around to measuring the current transformer coil

L12[07:33:08] <Forec​aster> A 25mA led light resulted in about 1.6V AC

L13[07:33:49] <Forec​aster> But normal bulbs are 70mA which I guess would result in more than 3V since it's more than double the amps

L14[07:34:15] <Forec​aster> That's too high for a rPi Pico

L15[07:34:51] <Forec​aster> I also need to order components to make a rectifier

L16[07:35:16] <Forec​aster> Because I don't think I can plug AC into the inputs

L17[07:58:21] <stephan48> you should be able to, atleast once

L18[07:59:19] <Forec​aster> well yes, but ideally it'll continue working for a while

L19[07:59:38] <Forec​aster> I'd like it to be able to measure if the bulb is working more than once

L20[08:03:58] <Forec​aster> I wonder if I need a smoothing capacitor or if the resolution is high enough to detect the pulses

L22[08:20:18] <Forec​aster> hm, simulating rectifying 1.6V AC with a 1M resistor and a 10uF capacitor

L23[08:20:28] <Forec​aster> the measured voltage is slowly increasing...

L24[08:21:26] <Forec​aster> I imagine it shouldn't be able to go above the input AC voltage

L25[08:24:23] <Forec​aster> seems it settles at about 1.2V

L26[08:24:39] <Forec​aster> that's certainly enough to measure

L27[08:36:36] <Forec​aster> oh, huh

L28[08:36:52] <Forec​aster> there are pre-made bridge rectifier components apparently

L29[08:38:12] <Forec​aster> rated for 600V at 2A for next to nothing cost

L30[08:46:11] <Forec​aster> a few caps and a bridge ordered

L31[08:46:24] <Forec​aster> hopefully I'll get them along with my new harddrive by tuesday

L33[09:09:30] <Forec​aster> %sip

L34[09:09:30] <MichiBot> You drink a forbidden grass potion (New!). It tastes salty.

L36[09:46:52] <CompanionCube> %tonk

L37[09:46:53] <MichiBot> Crud! Compan​ionCube! You beat Va​ur's previous record of 4 hours, 55 minutes and 9 seconds (By 1 minute and 59 seconds)! I hope you're happy!

L38[09:46:54] <MichiBot> CompanionCube's new record is 4 hours, 57 minutes and 8 seconds! CompanionCube also gained 0.00015 (0.00003 x 5) tonk points for stealing the tonk. Position #4. Need 0.07148156 more points to pass Ocawes​ome101!

L39[09:47:55] <CompanionCube> Izzy: Skye: 'In the latest move, the government is proposing that tech companies must notify authorities before implementing a security fix. However, permission may be denied if the update blocks a vulnerability that security services are actively exploiting.' this totally can't backfire

L48[12:20:59] <Theros> hello all

L49[12:24:03] <Forec​aster> %yeshi

L50[12:24:04] <MichiBot> Hi, welcome to the opencomputers IRC channel. If you just connected from minecraft, yes this is a real chat. There are people here, but dont expect people to engage with someone who just says "hi" or similar, we are (usually) pretty busy.

L51[12:36:48] <Theros> ok

L53[13:09:08] <Forec​aster> An excellent exchange as always

L55[13:57:33] <Forec​aster> %sip

L56[13:57:33] <MichiBot> You drink a dull solarium potion (New!). A bard starts playing a lute behind Forecaster until someone stabs them.

L57[13:57:49] <Forec​aster> where's my stabbin' knife

L58[14:55:12] <Forec​aster> %tonk

L59[14:55:14] <MichiBot> Consarn it! Forec​aster! You beat Compan​ionCube's previous record of 4 hours, 57 minutes and 8 seconds (By 11 minutes and 11 seconds)! I hope you're happy!

L60[14:55:15] <MichiBot> Forecaster's new record is 5 hours, 8 minutes and 20 seconds! Forecaster also gained 0.00095 (0.00019 x 5) tonk points for stealing the tonk. Position #1.

L61[15:38:24] <Izzy> CompanionCube: so do you expect companies to do the "sorry, we can't comply with the GDPR, so we won't provide you any service" or do you expect them to run a vulnerable island in the UK

L62[15:38:49] <CompanionCube> Izzy: i think apple will be opting the former, not sure about the last

L63[15:38:51] <CompanionCube> *rest

L64[15:40:00] <CompanionCube> still, think of the fun(tm) opportunities some people will have?

L65[15:44:22] <CompanionCube> particularly with open-source things, with multiple contributors...

L66[15:59:58] <Izzy> CompanionCube: it occurs to me that this is unusually savvy for them

L67[16:00:38] <Izzy> whoever proposed this has an understanding of the concept of a vulnerability and the idea that they can be exploited by their own secret police

L68[16:01:19] <CompanionCube> i believe the legal euphemism is 'equipment interference' or something like that.

L69[16:01:46] <CompanionCube> which is, i believe, legal since late 2016

L70[16:02:53] <CompanionCube> was in the same bill as 'internet connection records'

L71[16:03:58] <CompanionCube> (i believe the term for *introducing* a flaw is 'technical assistance')

L72[16:04:16] <Izzy> interference is a hell of a stretch already

L73[16:04:17] <Izzy> assistance

L74[16:04:19] <Izzy> lmao

L75[16:06:55] <CompanionCube> ah no, might;'ve been wrong: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2016/25/section/253/enacted it's 'technical capability notice'

L76[16:09:14] <CompanionCube> this was the time of Amber Rudd and her 'necessary hashtags'

L77[16:09:32] <CompanionCube> (she meant hashes, ofc)

L78[16:39:27] <stephan48> in reality once this hits the UK, the rest of the world will adopt similar stuff. can't be lacking behind in fascist government survilliance after all.

L79[16:40:39] <stephan48> or they will do the US-British coop thing, "we are not allowed to spay on our own, so let do it to the respective other populace and share"

L80[17:06:43] <Amanda> %choose halucinate more or rain box

L81[17:06:43] <MichiBot> Ama​nda: You hear a faraway lamp yell "halucinate more!".

L83[17:40:06] <S​ky> >Forecaster: there are pre-made bridge rectifier components apparently

L84[17:40:06] <S​ky> Correct me if I'm wrong, but aint a full bridge rectifier just like 4 diodes and a capacitor lol?

L85[17:56:35] <Amanda> You're wrong, they're someone who performs maintenance on a structure to prevent collapse into whatever it's spanning

L86[17:57:26] <Amanda> Forecaster is attempting to break alchemical taboo and create life

L87[18:20:18] <S​ky> lol

L88[18:20:20] <S​ky> fair enough

L90[18:52:00] <Amanda> Night girls

L91[18:52:24] <Amanda> Don't forget to delete your browser history before the foxen text it to your grandmother

L93[20:20:13] <Ocawes​ome101> %tonk

L94[20:20:14] <MichiBot> Fudge! Ocawes​ome101! You beat Forec​aster's previous record of 5 hours, 8 minutes and 20 seconds (By 16 minutes and 39 seconds)! I hope you're happy!

L95[20:20:15] <MichiBot> Ocawesome101's new record is 5 hours and 25 minutes! Ocawesome101 also gained 0.00168 (0.00028 x 6) tonk points for stealing the tonk. Position #3. Need 0.0183908 more points to pass Va​ur!
