gchristensen: what's the partition at the back?
* samueldr
should've read
<samueldr>
it's swap
<gchristensen>
:)
<samueldr>
oh well, can't tell if it's because it was in a VM, but I can't use the official tools to recognize the device properly, or send the "binary" to it :/ I profoundly dislike how user-hostile things are :(
<gchristensen>
what's this?
<samueldr>
qualcomm things
<gchristensen>
ack
<samueldr>
official as in not-obtained-in-legit-manner
<samueldr>
and due to the fact that those devices become useless if the bootloader stored on their internal storage gets booped, it's scary to play directly on them
<gchristensen>
:|
<gchristensen>
sounds like a hefty budget would be helpful so you can boop them in to submission
<gchristensen>
in other news, I rebooted my computer by typing in to not the serial console.
<samueldr>
I always get a small shock when I type `[sudo] reboot` into a console and see it disappear, thinking I might have rebooted the wrong computer :)
<gchristensen>
:)
<samueldr>
gchristensen: hefty budget? not sure I follow
<gchristensen>
well if you had $1,000,000 you could do a whole lot of destructive experimenting :P
<samueldr>
oh sure
<samueldr>
at that budget a real dev board for those platforms can be acquired... with documentation and tools
<gchristensen>
right
<gchristensen>
how much is that?
<samueldr>
annoyingly, not much, but too much :) 1049$ for the 835 HDK, (I assume it has docs, but haven't verified) but it doesn't come with a screen, so an additional cost is needed for that https://developer.qualcomm.com/hardware/snapdragon-835-hdk
<samueldr>
the worst, imo, is how I have seen "actual phone" [SH]DK from qualcomm, in pictures, that would actually be neat
<gchristensen>
:)
<gchristensen>
is that something different, or those things you just linked?
<samueldr>
something different, haven't been able to find traces of it even existing
<gchristensen>
gotcha
<gchristensen>
kind of funny, I've done a lot with big arm machines, but this is the first time I've actually used something the size of a raspberry pi

<samueldr>
any particular idea on a thing to do with it?
<gchristensen>
I don't have a great idea, but I do have an immediate need for something to generate a small amount of heat, to keep my sourdough starter warm enough to keep from going dormant
<samueldr>
get a cat?
<samueldr>
:)
<gchristensen>
haha
<gchristensen>
and actually, `stress -c4` might be too much heat
<worldofpeace>
Had a hunch since they're harmful to most lifeforms. Protect your yeast :D
<gchristensen>
at any rate, worldofpeace, I don't know! we'll see :) sitting on my counter, the yeast were dormant. if I need to start over later, I can do that
<worldofpeace>
Wait is that a wifi adapter I see in the photograph?
<gchristensen>
yea
<gchristensen>
so I can have my home Prometheus monitor it
<worldofpeace>
next level yeast monitoring for sure.
<gchristensen>
ok past my bed time.
<gchristensen>
night y'all
<gchristensen>
thank you a *LOT* for your continued help, samueldr.

trying to hook up a dang resistor to a dang adc pin and spent an hour trying three shops to buy one, and not a one had them.
<samueldr>
this has a hotdog.jpg vibe somehow
<gchristensen>
I don't know that reference

king of the hill, hank hill trying to get a picture of a hotdog printed

ohhh haha
<makefu>
gchristensen: i am pretty sure the easiest thing is in that order: 1 fetch the right resistor from your local hackerspace 2 daisy chain enough resistors to get the right value 3 buy 1000-package from aliexpress

my "local" hackerspace is > 110km away :(
<gchristensen>
the source of my trouble is I donated all my electronic kit parts to the hackerspace near where I used to live, before I moved here
<makefu>
there are so few occurences when i need resistors that i also do not have any at home. however my local hackerspace is 10 walking-minutes away. seems your options are somewhat limited now. maybe build your own resistor for testing? https://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Emergency-resistor-an-electronic-circuit-com/ that is definitly hacker-worthy!
<gchristensen>
oh cool
<gchristensen>
I need to make a voltage divider :)
