@onfy oh, Schuko is pre-war, that makes sense
@onfy like, it's a classic "trick" to screw a blown fuse back in with a bit of tinfoil around it
@onfy pretty sure the joke is that people do that all the time even though it's unsafe
@onfy it's interesting that post-war Germany didn't come up with sth like that but instead made the most overengineered plug possible… or it's newer, I don't care to look it up rn :D
@onfy no I get that they only have them because they needed to save copper post-war, but for extension cords it'd make sense
have I ever posted about how I'm mad about Tom Scott's "the British plug is the best" video because Schuko is so much better
@onfy honestly the british way of putting fuses in plugs sounds pretty sensible at some point

@CatComixzStudios hm, weird. Doesn't sound like a software problem to me though, more like there's something wrong with the display
@CatComixzStudios how about in the bios? or if you change the screen resolution
@CatComixzStudios does it show up all the time the screen is on or only after the OS starts loading?
re: GRC, it's here!
@porsupah 🥳 gratz!
@halcy you know you can use other text editors than notepad right? :P
@halcy oh neat
@packetcat that one xkcd with all software resting on some project maintained by a single person but it's "tech YouTube infrastructure" and "Wendell Level1tech"
First board assembly on the new machine! 8 up panel of 12bpp DVI Pmods! 104s per panel. The slow part is the tqfp64 encoder chip and HDMI connector! IIRC it took 10ish min on the old machine!
@onfy I should get myself a drive, actually, for now I'm just handing friends discs and microSDs
@onfy and then I throw it at handbrake
@onfy makemkv for the win
