Hm…plans for today?
It’s around 3:30pm and I already took the 3 pairs of headphones to the post office. That’s about as ā€œoutside productiveā€ as it gets for me today.
Disc 1 of 2 of the last season of That 70s Show is ripping currently, so I can start transcoding them later today.
Got some Chinese leftovers from yesterday, so that’s good.
But I feel a bit restless and need to get rid of that energy or else I’m just sitting here like a Chihuahua on caffeine.

Any ideas what I could do that includes my PC/laptop setup?
(like organizing shit. no cable management though, that’s a pain in the ass).

Well ive got to work in this -___-

Other than that will probably edit together the LIS stream I did the other day and put it on YT. Which will take hours to upload lol…
Have played 600 WoT battles and because I was bored at work started watching supernatural because ???
May or may not have watched 47 episodes in two weeks lol (also tag of @wolfleben )


Not sure what you could do tho. Kind of is up to you :stuck_out_tongue:

-9° Fahrenheit?
Are you living in a walk-in freezer?
That’s -22°C. Fuck, I have no idea when we had temperatures like that the last time. I think -15°C (5°F) was the coldest last year somewhere in the rural/mountain areas.

pfft
a couple weeks ago it was -20F with wind chill past -40F

Living near water dramatically decreases the temperature.
You’re also pretty far up north. But according to the climate zones we should be in the same.

Ever taken a piss outside in those temperatures?

only sometimes

but y tho

Everytime I’ve been in an area with a river, lake or the ocean it’s been much colder once the sun set, as compared to cities or even just rural areas with no water.

Nah those are pretty normal temperatures for the middle north continental US over to where I live on the other end of the Great Lakes. It was -25F (-32C) wind chill last week

Weather channels rarely mention wind chill factor. Some started adding it a few years ago.
When our English teacher in highschool mentioned it nobody knew what it was.

I think I’m gonna do some organization on my HDDs.
They all have their dedicated purpose (video, audio, etc) but a lot of the stuff that’s not video is just like throwing unfolded laundry into a drawer.
Especially my audio files. Have a lot of duplicates, lots of improperly tagged files, etc.

And this is why I havent logged onto the Deskthority forum in months lol…

They make a good wiki on mechanical keyboards but damn a lot of the people are elitist.

Side note;
The HP CTO and also chief of tech ventures at HP followrd me on twitter randomly… Cool?

Seems gud.
I’m eventually going to add the random 4tb drive I have to my rig… Not that I really need it currently but would be good for lossless 4k recordings or something. (If my 1800X can handle that that is lol)

Why shouldn’t it be able to handle that?
Does 4K require a dual-Xeon machine?

Recording at 4K is very intensive, I’ve tried it on my 1700 before and it barely kept up with it.

lossess 4k takes alot of IO bandwidth and CPU speed if you not saving it in RAW

Oh, I seem to have misunderstood. I thought he meant editing, not recording while streaming.
