I don't think you did your research ... bad doggy ...
 
6:16 AM
Hey, everyone. I have not been here for a year. I only started my account like 2 months ago, so how did I earn yearling? meta.stackexchange.com/q/354713/500111
 
Maybe a cookie account that you had laying around without remembering. Or if you signed up on a public computer you merged your account with a left-behind account from a previous user of that computer. You keep asking us but you're really the only one who can clarify this.
 
@rene woof?
I'd argue that a full decade makes a difference and windows mobile is no more retro than windows 7
 
@10Repisn'tactiveonMSE I'm pretty sure there's another active user called 10Rep are you not he/she/they?
It's likely carried over from that account
 
@SonictheMaskedWerehog Got an MS report with that? I have 0 hits on your PR.
 
6:43 AM
@DaneBrouwer On stackoverflow I am 10 Rep. But mystery solved. Turns out I forgot about an old account I deleted 2 years ago.
 
@10Repisn'tactiveonMSE deleted only on SO, yeah.
 
7:03 AM
lol
One of my co-workers accidentally messaged me in all caps
I REPLIED IN ALL CAPS
 
7:33 AM
@Aibobot SOUNDS LIKE A REASONABLE APPROACH
 
ABSOLUTELY!
 
7:55 AM
@Mast It was seen in this spam post, which wasn't reported by SD.
 
8:32 AM
@Aibobot is latex supported in the messaging platform...if yes you can try $$\Huge{\mathbb{REPLY}}$$ as well
 
@QueenieGoldstein its whatsapp
My feelings about the platform would likely get me suspended for language unbecoming, and then set a few people's monitors on fire
 
9:30 AM
@TheLittleNaruto So we've been in touch with the mods, and they haven't mentioned a need for an election at this point. If they do, we'll set it up (though likely only next year). Also, dunno what you considered when measuring activity, but all 3 moderators are active...
 
9:49 AM
@JNat Thanks for talking with Mods. I would like to share some of the meta posts #1 #2 #3 and #4
First 3 are recent posts.
There are others too. You may check them on Meta HSE

You've been on a few sites for 18 months, how is it that the FAQ is unclear? — Rob 6 hours ago
@Rob I have been here for 2 months. Not 18 months. Don't you think I'd know? I haven't earn't yearling on StackOverflow, so how would I here? — 10 Rep isn't active on MSE 5 hours ago
Yeah, so you deleted the SO profile, and forgot you had one here as well. All good. :) — Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask 5 hours ago

@ShadowWizardWearingMask Thanks for retagging then. — Ollie 12 mins ago
My pleasure, @Ollie ;)
sdc blue coffee for Ollie
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask No such command 'blue'.

Blue coffee? Really?

sdc 🎂 user400654
 
@Ollie No such command ''.
 
@user400654 won't throw that to the 🚽, for sure. :P
 
Ooh nice!
I think I will have blue coffee after all!
 
I feel like something is starting now...
 
2:07 PM
It is.
sdc bluecoffee Meta Andrew
 
@Ollie No such command 'bluecoffee'.
 
How's it taste Shadow?
Like Tempora paint?
 
Maybe tastes like Japanese Blue Curry... (not really NSFW, but may reduce your today's appetite?)
 
If it does that I won't look at it.
Sometimes I dislike the reputation cap.
 
I never hit reputation cap, so... :)
 
2:10 PM
I hit it once.
Once so far.
Although I'm getting there:
 
Rob
 
Why can't you use $\checkmark$ here?
$\checkmark$ '
$\checkmark$
 
Huh?
Oh.
 
@Ollie why should we? No point loading tons of JS/CSS to enable something that will rarely be used.

Q: Any chance of MathJax in chat?

MajenkoIt would be really nice to be able to use MathJaX (math formulas) in chat. Not specially for formulae, but for things like $V_{CC}$ in electronics chat would be very useful.

 
Unicode provides all sorts of fancy characters, should be enough for our needs. :D
 
What about on Puzzling?
 
Rob
True.
 
Nord is here!
 
Rob
Just enable it for yourself, we don't all need it turned on.
 
2:25 PM
1 Shadow moved to Trashcan
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask o/
 
@MetaAndrewT. no, because no monkeys. :D
 
Like $\rightarrow$ would be useful.
Or $\monkey$
 
@MetaAndrewT. it's NSFW for me, showing underwear ads to the right. o_O
@Ollie I guess it tastes like coffee with Blue Food Color. :D
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask use BlueBlocker...
 
@MetaAndrewT. never heard of BlueBlocker...another adblocker fork?
 
@NordineLotfi I think its a joke
 
I got a good deal for espresso capsules from such ads, about a year ago... but most ads just repeat stuff I just recently ordered. ;)
 
@JourneymanGeek :o gotcha
 
LOL
@Meta humor. ;)

@ShadowWizardWearingMask first time i see a unicode monkey
 
2:32 PM
@NordineLotfi were you around when the monkeys were let out?
 
Rob
➡️
 
I let them out. They deserve to be free.
 
It was a mess.
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask nope, but i keep seeing monkeys being mentioned since a couple days...
don't know why tho
 
@NordineLotfi try couple of months, yeah. Whenever @Ollie is around. :P
 
2:33 PM
Oh shut up.
 
I'm not the monkey fanatic
@Rob and @DavidPostill started it when I first came here.
 
@Rob is but you're the victim. ;)
 
@Ollie so maybe you can explain it to me what it means?
 
Morning Splevacus.
@NordineLotfi Uhhh
 
Rob
2:33 PM
🙈
 
Ask Rob.
 
@Rob :)
 
Call me Splevacus

@Spe in SPA? :D
 
Rob
Tosses Ollie into the blue.
 
S P A
 
No, it's Splelled Splevacus.
@Rob What blue? Not monkey blue?
I doubt you can make anything irritating out of Ollie
 
Rob
2:35 PM
Yes, not monkey blue.
 
@Rob do you mind explaining the monkey trend?
just curious
 
Rob
Yes.
 
Curiosity killed the cat, it'll kill you too ;)
 
Rob
No permission.
 
@MetaAndrewT. anyway, I was talking about twitter.com/StackStatus/status/1310944153375780865 since this feeds is already retired(?)...
 
2:38 PM
nah, already know now, all good @Rob @Ollie
 
@NordineLotfi And what did you find?
 
Rob
Does it have anything to do with filling level?
 
@Spevacus What happens if I call you Splevacus? ;)
Just curious.
 
the same as calling rene Rene
uh oh...
 
2:40 PM
revealing self as a monkey
 
Oh ***
Not looking.
sdc blindfold
 
@Ollie No such command 'blindfold'.
 
Put some clothes on, Schwizzard!
 
@Ollie can't, @Nord took them all. :D
 
2:41 PM
Let's just stop.
 
@MetaAndrewT. or calling @balpha @Balpha horror
 
Rob
He always comes here naked, that was established already.
 
Though he lost his mega powers...
 
@Ollie oh I can give you an example where if we didn't have a rep cap....
 
@Ollie I was going to unleash the hounds upon thee (we have a couple resident canine overlords) but you're too nice of a person to be bitten by @Journ
 
2:43 PM
@JourneymanGeek Jon would have 10M rep?
 
Hold that thought @Splevacus
;)
 
>:(
 
No, please don't bite me, Journeyman!

A: Transatlantic ping faster than sending a pixel to the screen?

John CarmackThe time to send a packet to a remote host is half the time reported by ping, which measures a round trip time. The display I was measuring was a Sony HMZ-T1 head mounted display connected to a PC. To measure display latency, I have a small program that sits in a spin loop polling a game contro...

I was thinking this case
 
2:44 PM
Literally NO ONE ELSE could have answered that
but was it something to get someone over 10k for a single answer?
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask :P
 
I... wot?
 
Anyway @Spevacus, I thought the canine overlord resided over at SuperUser.
@Rob You must be kidding.
 
He does, but his royal houndness also roams Meta; baring sharp, diamond-based teeth
 
And punishes the monkeys for naughtiness.
Don't you, Journeyman?
Must go now
Ta!
 
Rob

hehe
 
@Spevacus first time i ever see diamond-based teeth in a sentence :P
 
I aim to impress. Occasionally.
 
Rob
 
that looks like from a nightmare fuel.
or I just had too many nightmares
 
Rob
Whole image in The Den
 
2:54 PM
when you finally make your rpi0 work :O
 
@Rob where?
@Rob maybe I am, maybe I'm not. None can know, so don't let it trouble you a lot.
:D
@Ollie Da!
"Da" in Russian is "yes"... I think.
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask it is
 
:)
Niet Panemayash Ruski
This is about all I know ^
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask didn't know that one
 
And some curse words, of course. Served with lots of people from Russia in the army. :D
 
Rob
3:05 PM
@ShadowWizardWearingMask Here.
 
@Rob oh, thought you meant something from today. ;)
 
Rob
@NordineLotfi Got rippy working, post your own answer.
 
^ Needs some flags if anyone's feeling nice.
 
@Spevacus k
@MetaAndrewT. U... why?
 
Rob
@Spevacus One more.
 
3:19 PM
@Rob yeah, plan to ofc :D
gonna be a decently long post so I'll dumb it down locally first
 
@Rob yeah, doing it on Android is so much easier than on linux...though that depend on the device (for both instance)
I did it on my kindle in less than 10min without even knowing what i was doing
for the rpi0, it took like...4 days of testing?
 
Rob
My phone tends to recognize what's connected. I connected my DVD player directly to my phone (using supplied USB OTG cable) and copied my CDs to my phone; for lossless copying and listening enjoyment.
 
@Rob that's nice! never thought of doing this with a DVD player...
what didn't made sense was for the Avahi config, because the line `allow-interfaces=eth0,wlan0` was uncommented, but you would think this would make things work instead...(given it allow eth0 which is related to OTG setup)

But instead it did the reverse and made things not work??
So i just commented that thinking *there no way* it would be the cause...and it worked
 
Rob
3:36 PM
Need a seperate USB connected DVD player (like you can add to a desktop / laptop). They're fairly inexpensive nowadays, and worth it if you have a CD collection.
 
@Rob interesting. I'll look one up as i could find a use for it, thanks :)
 
Rob
^^ Often that's the case; if it doesn't work one way try the opposite.
I can play DVDs too, but copying them just takes up too much space and remaining connected isn't especially convenient - but it works.
 
@Rob try installing mpv on Android, found it really good for playing stuff, plus it have a couple of nice feature you might appreciate
 
Rob
MPlayer?
 
nah, mpv, fork of MPlayer (it's better)
has more features and more updated
 
Rob
3:40 PM
Ah, I'll have a look.
@NordineLotfi So, mpv, and not play.google.com/store/apps/… ?
 
@Rob yep, former is the right one
 
Rob
✔️
 
@Rob if you ever doubting, it's even on the official site: mpv.io/installation
;)
under Android
 
Rob
[scratches head] Wonders how it's better than play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sview or play.google.com/store/apps/… - or even MPlayer ....
 
*shrug* try them all and use the one you prefer?

Honestly i like it more because of preferences, but if it came for technical reason, i would say i like it because of the options it has (feel smoother on playback, use less ram/cpu...etc)
for the smooth playback, it's probably placebo, but the ram/cpu usage is indeed less than most player i tried, so yeah
sview does look better for 3D content hmm
 
Rob
3:55 PM
I find sview (first link ^) has very low usage (and the ability to use a few different types of 3D glasses is a bonus), while BSPlayer (2nd link above) has tons of features and loads specific plugins for your CPU and GPU to use optimized assembly code to reduce load on different phones made the past several years.
For example, bPlayer (beta) by BSPlayer has lots of on screen controls (along with the menu / preferences):
Back in 1 1/2 hours (or so).
 
Anyone else didn't dismiss the new sticky black banner on the bottom of any site yet, or am I just weird? ;)
 
4:11 PM
ooh, neat. What do you mean, dismiss?
 
oh, that thing? I thought you meant the top bar.
 
why
you can get it to show up in incognito
 
SEDE should be back up now.
 
@JourneymanGeek That's his only answer and no questions either :)
 
4:42 PM
@Rob Don't understand what you mean. After reading the exact date of when I joined, I remembered me deleting my SO profile but not this one.
 
interesting. I'm inclined to try those two too, since it seems they have some stuff `mpv` doesn't...

For example, the 3D contents support on sview, it seems like if you were to run 3D content on mpv, it would use more cpu/ram than usual.
I guess sview does some weird optimization on the background/under the hood?

And yeah, mpv is basically pretty minimalist, so there isn't much UI buttons (keyboard centric basically) though there is some basic one, but not as advanced as BSPlayer.
 
Rob
5:00 PM
@NordineLotfi ... that's bPlayer (beta) by BSPlayer; you have to be invited to their Beta testing program to download it from PlayStore.
 
5:17 PM
@Rob oh, gotcha.
 
Rob
6:01 PM
@NordineLotfi SView info: sview.ru/en/sview/info - the files need to be 3D already, it can render the data differently depending on your output device (including the type / colors of glasses that you are wearing).

@SonictheMaskedWerehog can you stop commenting on Nick's answer? The comments are completely off topic.
 
Stopped.

I love it and I'm not okay with that
 
8:42 PM
Suddenly I can vote on comments more than twice.
Like here.
I upvoted the comments there from 2 votes to 3, then 1 to 2, respectively.
And then I upvoted them again from 3-4/2-3.
Whoops
I mean more than once.
 
9:26 PM
In light of this now deleted post, shouldn't those buttons be removed, as the apps aren't supported anymore?
 
9:42 PM
Uh oh.
I'm 5 rep from the reputation cap.
Hit it. Please everyone, save your upvotes for tomorrow ;)
I mean for the next 3 hours. It goes by UTC, doesn't it?
 
9:58 PM
Umm...I'm suddenly in the mobile chat version. How do I change it back?

Well there they just freeze...
 
Yep
 
Here it's around 25°C
 
10:44 PM
And I don't bother to get 'em. Plenty more from @Rob
It's actually not too bad here. Raining.
@ShadowWizardWearingMask See this? Don't upvote it for the next...
 
Rain is far away...
 
75 minutes.
I hit the reputation cap ;)
But don't downvote it either1
 
@Ollie I'll be sleeping by this time. ;)
 
Ah.
 
Maybe dreaming of blue monkeys...
 
10:46 PM
Whyyyy?
 
Can't help it.
I have something common with them, so can relate to their poor situation. O_o :D
