08:59 <@Mirage> On this damned Win11 image they have it locked down so that I can't set the laptop to stay on forever when on power.  And now, every time I turn it on I have to reset the display to 'extend' vs 'duplicate'
09:16 <@Mirage> As I feared, in the last ~20 minutes it's gone from clear and sunny to overcast.  Hopefully it clears again before the eclipse as it looks like it's just a band of clouds moving through behind the front.
09:46 <@Mirage> KT session just popped up for 1:30-3p.  Totality here is supposed to be ~1:40p.  I responded w/ a strong "nope"

12:27 <@Mirage> SpaceX is doing some weird crypto promotion hing for the eclipse.  "Follow this QR and donate X amt and some crypto and we'll give you back double in ~5 min"

13:00 <@Dagmar> Mirage: There's literally no way that's legit.
13:00 <@Dagmar> It'll be like the fourth or fifth time that scam has been pulled, too
13:05 <@Mirage> My thought as well
13:07 <@Mirage> lol... morons.. "Is it safe to be outside during the eclipse without eclipse glasses?"
13:15 <@Dagmar> Well, not if you live in an area with a heavy vampire population
13:15 <@Dagmar> RIght now I can stare straight at the sun, no problem
14:00 <@Mirage> Damn clouds sort of ruined it.  I got several good shots w/ the camera leading up to totality, but then we got a nice dense cloud that blocked it so much that it was mostly obscured.  Could see the corona here/there through the clouds w/o glasses on, but it really wasn't more than an indistinct ring.
14:03 <@Mirage> Coworker in Allen, just south of us said it was awesome at his house.   I called him a sorry bastard,
14:03 <@Mirage> .
14:13 < Synx_> Dagmar, i finally got Dell to transfer that computer to me so i could get the bios unlock password
14:18 <@Mirage> The "special eclipse playlist" on the radoi station we listen to all the time was pretty good.  Playing Blackhole Sun right now, which should have been timed for right when totality was hitting the area
14:31 < Synx_> nice

15:35 <@Dagmar> NetEase has very impressively managed to bungle their closed beta test of Once HUman
15:35 <@Dagmar> Like, it's astonishing
15:35 <@Dagmar> They sent out a notification email that went into >90% spam boxes becuase it was literally all images and tracking URLs...
15:36 <@Dagmar> Then the Discord bot that was supposed to issue codes to people failed
15:36 <@Dagmar> THen they decided "Hey lets just go release 70,000 codes" so they started putting up lists of Discord usernames in xlsx spreadsheets
15:36 <@Dagmar> ...and the website that is apparently supposed to look at that somehow can't, so no codes are being issues
15:37 <@Dagmar> Like, jesus christ does anyone test anything or are they having some secretary do this?

16:52 < Synx_> wtf my fido2 yubikey doesn't power on in any of my 100% working usb ports windows laptop, works fine in my work macbook
16:54 <@Dagmar> How would you know it's "powered on"?
16:55 <@Dagmar> Does it have lights on it or something?
16:56 <@Dagmar> Mine was stupidly cheap so it definitely has no lights, but I wouldn't know if it was getting current or not
17:25 < Synx_> ya it has a tiny led on it and it shows up as fido device under the HID tree in device manager
17:26 < Synx_> Mirage, how'd you like the eclipse. We saw it in Nash in 2017 i think it was. Totality is completely different experience than a partial eclipse. Super cool.
17:33 <@Dagmar> That's weird.  It should enumerate regardless.  I blame Windows for being aggressive about power saving on USB ports.
17:37 < Synx_> i wonder if i try it through a hub
17:37 < Synx_> works though the dell dock i am using
17:45 < Synx_> shrug
20:31 <@Mirage> Synx_: A nice big darkish gray cloud passed overhead at exactly the wrong time blocking totality.  Got some glimpses of it filtered through the cloud, but no clear view
20:32 < Synx_> ahh bummer
