The Communication Cube


Oh, probably my fault. Either that or the forum software stripping your careful timecoding. I pull urls off the youtube previews using the right click menu then post that into 'you-get -p mplayer' in a terminal to play it via that media player in a window on my desktop. If there was a timecode I didn't get it though, as bash interprets that '&t' as a plain ampersand and background the you-get process, so I'd have noticed if that had happened.
 
I recently changed my desktop wallpaper, no prizes for guessing what it's a picture of.

The battery doesn't hold a charge so it permanently pretends to be charging. I bought it as a refurb from the manufacturers (Zoostorm), they stated in the auction details that the battery was knackered, so I knew what I was getting.
 
Uh oh, that reference to plastic at the end there makes me wonder if we'll have a rubbish pile of graphene enhanced stuff spinning in the mid pacific in a few decades from now. I guess that'll break down to stuff edible to small and microscopic fish and other animals, but big chunks of it could still seem edible to large sea creatures like whales, and as far as I know the complications that causes are usually mechanical rather than chemical, so something as durable as graphene stuff could be even worse. I guess blending it in this that and everything else is going to make recycling stuff harder as well, if it's not hard enough already.
 
I don't think plastic is edible, in the sense that they should eat it, by microorganisms.
 
No, but I've heard it provides a suitable platform in the sun for algae to grow on, which is why whales eat it, and I guess might be the same at different sizes all the way down the food chain out there.
 
I've managed to overcome my natural tendency to procrastinate and actually gotten around to doing things for once.

What have you been doing? I hear no one ask, well I've installed and configured Linux CLI Launcher on my mobile phone, done the same thing with Openbox on my Pandora, and experienced many different flavours of nightmare fuel during my House Party beta testing stint. https://forum.eekllc.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=565 (NSFW)
 
As it tends to play out I got through the week just fine in order to wake up sick on Saturday. Later that day I then found out that I wasn't the only one befallen by a virus. My Windows box used to crash playing a few select games. Turns out everything nVidia had been infected, producing those bluescreens. Deleted drivers would just be brought back by the OS. Finally just wiped the thing, too much bother.
The commercial AV I used wasn't able to pick it up, nevermind Defender. What then actually found the miscreants - a trojan and a virus - was ClamAV.

In my bread baking adventures I finally tried fresh yeast instead of the dry stuff and added some butter - suffice to say the local supermarket bakery will not see me again anytime soon.
Also: ginger ale, fermented for 24hrs.
