@luciferMysticus @Elizafox they used the underlying algorithm to clean up seismic data for input into materials explorer for modeling where to drill stuff

@Elizafox did you know that auto tune was invented by exxon?

@Elizafox sounds great. there is also mamalou’s off i-35

@vahnj yes i am observing packet loss to my machines at scaleway too

@Gargron i meant use JB weld to fix it?

@Gargron JB weld?

an interesting look into somebody who is dealing with the phantom debt scams.

@bea that's one hell of an upgrade

i bet he's regretting that now.

I mean it just doesn't seem like something most people would want to do.

Like it seriously seems out of the comfort area of most people.

So hopefully the Qi charging thing works out, because otherwise we have to figure out something else that isn't "shove a USB cable up the stuffed animal's butt."

Product design is hard, damnit!

This is good, because our evaluation of the "just stick a USB cable up it's butt" approach didn't test well.

Specifically, there were concerns about durability, as well as televangelists and other types of negative public response (after all, you would be plugging a USB cable into a stuffed animal's butt).

So really this Qi charging thing looks a lot better really.

In other news, my newest project to provide cuddly plush AI assistants that don't rat you out (instead of pop can-shaped bluetooth speakers with cloud-based spyware in them), may have a better solution to the charging problem than "just stick a USB cable up it's butt" with this Qi charging concept.

Need to do more testing though.

@scanlime seems that it works through about 3mm of fabric in my testing

#pkgconf 1.3.12 is released, fixing a potential security problem (a .pc file could corrupt package cache elements in such a way that the heap is corrupted).

upgrading is strongly encouraged.

@scanlime how thick?

does anyone know if Qi charging will work through fabric/cloth?

@Laurelai in terms of a mob attempt like that we would likely try to catch such things before doing any charges

@Laurelai obviously any such dispute would be fought similarly regardless. i am talking about losses, like if somebody charges back their pledge at their bank.
