[08:13:52] <chromas> Dial-up modems sure improved a lot long after they quit being useful
[08:14:17] <chromas> Got one here that's pci express. No transformer. Never seen one without a transformer. Is such a thing even possible?
[08:27:41] <FatPhil> pci express is a powered bus
[08:28:08] <chromas> pci and isa aren't?
[08:28:38] <chromas> Or, why is it important?
[08:28:45] * chromas doesn't know
[08:29:17] <janrinok> what are you using them for - or is it just something that you found?
[08:29:44] <chromas> Found it in a Vista-era HP pc
[08:29:54] <janrinok> sounds about right
[08:30:07] <chromas> I didn't know modems were still being made then
[08:32:11] <chromas> Maybe there will be a "retro internet" boom where people with old modem collections will start up ISPs and it'll be hip and cool like plastic records and EGA desktops
[08:32:52] * chromas wonders how well dial-up would work over crappy cell phone compression
[08:33:01] <carny> You found a 96 kbps pci express modem! Your current modem is only 9600/4800 bps V.32, so it seems Luck is with you!
[08:33:03] <janrinok> I've got 2 (well,actually I've got more than that...) that I experiment with. Had them working at 48k but the bummer is the power requirements at both ends. I was using them to exchange data with a arduino that is in a remote location, but in the end decided to go with PoE and just pay for the extra hardware.
[08:33:59] <chromas> 96k sounds like a lot for a modem
[08:34:40] <chromas> Whenever my modem got up to 28.8 it seemed to run slower than the usual 14.4 or so

[08:36:43] <chromas> I got a Xenix terminal once while messing with the dial-up settings but I didn't know what it was then :'(
[08:40:14] <chromas> janrinok: No cloud? Strap-on an old Android phone and let Google do the work :)
[08:40:41] <chromas> Plus it vibrates!
[08:47:50] <janrinok> I don't have an old android phone, and the one I do have requires charging every few days. I'm not climbing a mast to charge a phone. The arduino is happily running on solar power, but I couldn't power the modem the same way. PoE solved the problem.
[08:49:21] <janrinok> The solar power is now purely for backup.
[08:50:46] <janrinok> I might change to a Pycom device (https://docs.pycom.io/products/) if I can find one with a low enough power requirement for my minimum data transfer speed.

[11:39:12] <FatPhil> Had a nice long walk today, and noticed that most of the obvious tourists at least appeared to be Estonians, but almost nobody (1 out of 50-100?) was wearing a face mask. Popped into the edge-of-town market, and the first 4 punters I saw all had face masks on. Different sectors of society are clearly viewing this through different lenses.
[11:40:38] <FatPhil> Even with our relaxed precautions, we're doing pretty well, so I think a lot of people are dropping their guard.
[11:41:34] <FatPhil> "no talk of loosening the restrictions, as the downward trend hasn't gone on long enough" is today's news.

[14:17:01] <FatPhil> Washington state trooper Heather Axtman described what happened when
[14:17:01] <FatPhil> officers responded to reports of a hit-and-run incident south of
[14:17:01] <FatPhil> Seattle. The problematic 1996 Buick swerved erratically along area
[14:17:01] <FatPhil> roads at speeds in excess of 160 km/h until spike strips brought it to
[14:17:01] <FatPhil> a halt. Officers did not arrest the one behind the wheel, a pit bull
[14:17:03] <FatPhil> terrier. They did arrest the man who had been operating the steering
[14:17:06] <FatPhil> wheel and accelerator pedal from the passenger's seat. According to
[14:17:08] <FatPhil> Axtman, that man, 51-year-old Alberto Tito Alejandro, 'admitted to our
[14:17:11] <FatPhil> troopers that he was trying to teach his dog to drive'.
