you know what'd be cool
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
if my mac pro wasn't dead
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
if OWC's products were anything less than absolute shite
<jfhbrook>
who?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Other World Computing. Aftermarket Apple hardware bits and bobs.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
the only people who sell expansion drives for modern Macs.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I've got a 2TB SSD from them, because Apple only sells up to 1TB (and at wildly inflated prices)
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
but I regret it because holy SHIT these things have been nothing but trouble
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I've had it replaced on warranty fucking twice
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and it's doing it AGAIN
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and this time, my backup RAID went all fukt while I was on the road, right before this happened; so I don't have a backup handy
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
think I have a Backblaze but idk and idk that takes time and idk I'M SO ANGRY I JUST WANNA WRITE SOME CODE
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I'm jonesin' bruh, jonesin'
<meowrobot>
huh, only certain ssds work with macs?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
meowrobot: they don't have a SATA interface or anything like that
<meowrobot>
oh what
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
the chips are on a daughter-board that attaches directly to the motherboard with a custom port
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
see the link above, there's a photo i think
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
this has been true of all Macs since, like, 2011; except the Mac Pro, for which it started with the 2013 refresh

and the *new* new ones, this fall, are soldered directly to the motherboard β no upgrading at all.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
also, hi meowrobot!
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
been a while how's life
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
fucking diskwarrior better be worth the money -_-
<meowrobot>
wow apple loves that proprietary stuff.....
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
lol.
<meowrobot>
hey <3
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
worth it, Apple hardware is unbeatable.
<meowrobot>
life has been...strange
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
current one is like, whole new level
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
check out iFixit's teardown
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
literally everything is soldered/glued/w/e in place β it's basically a really powerful folding iPad
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
ugh my remaining dog is so lonely and bored
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
it's hurting my heart
<meowrobot>
i could see that coming since the macbook air :<
<meowrobot>
soldered ram and all
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
lmao yep
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
they were like WOAH WE CAN MAKE THIN COMPUTERS, *AND* MAKE MORE MONEY β why didn't we do this sooner
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
lord above I'm so bored
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I'm happy to be home but I'm just *crushingly* bored
<meowrobot>
i'm just really tired
<meowrobot>
but having iron deficiency and spontaneous blood loss does that to you i suppose
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
β’ 5 Files had to be recovered. The Files may have been lost or thrown away. You must inspect the Files to determine the extent of any damage. You must also determine whether the Files should be discarded.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
βspontaneous blood lossβ
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
does it like
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
teleport out of your body
<meowrobot>
i have to wonder now
<meowrobot>
either that or vampires visit me every night
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
wut
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
parents, it's always the parents *nods wisely*
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
vamparents
<meowrobot>
:x
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
it's some trash but you gotta deal with it
* ELLIOTTCABLE
nods again
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
hm
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
bloodinimo
<meowrobot>
i'm seeing a gastroenterologist on the 12th to see if it's my ulcer reopened
<meowrobot>
but other than that i have no clue what could be causing this
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I need to make a G/I appointment bad.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
how are you like
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
aware of this
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
are you draining yourself of blood and measuring it
<meowrobot>
i had a lab test a week ago :p
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
ur mom's a lab test
<meowrobot>
well no, 2 weeks ago
<meowrobot>
lol
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
what can I even back up to argh
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I'm having a bunch of brain-tests next week
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
with more brain-doctors than I even know the differences between -_-
<meowrobot>
brain tests are weird
<meowrobot>
especially the ones where they stick probes into your limbs and shock you with electricity

incomprehensibly: go get certified and call me CQ!
<ljharb>
what kind of brain tests?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
ljharb: idk. Everything?
<ljharb>
that's a long list
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
turns out the enduring, multisensory hallucinations I've been having my entire life *aren't* just a normal thing everybody experiences
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
so that's cool
<ljharb>
my mom had an emergency craniectomy last week so i'm all up on the lingo
<ljharb>
um, no, hallucinations of any kind aren't something everybody experiences
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
what's that mean and why and is she okay
<ljharb>
qualia is an incredibly fascinating concept
<ljharb>
she's on blood thinners for cancer, was walking, lost consciousness, and faceplanted, and had bleeding in her brain, so they removed part of her skull and are leaving it off for a couple months
<ljharb>
she's not ok by any means but is slowly getting better. we're out of the woods and in the "wait and see" phase
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
well I've always called them "night terrors", and whenever I heard anybody else mentioning "night terrors" or "nightmares", I thought they were talking about what I experience
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
averaging once a month (but not of a high periodicity), I'll wake up from sleeping (very clear, clean delineation between sleep / any dream I'm having, and this period),
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and perceive something that isn't there β often insects, several times a ear, but it can very greatly
<meowrobot>
huh, are they like shadows?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
The "worst" one was a person coming into my room, and not responding to me yelling at him
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and when I say multisensory, I *mean* it β every sense has been involved at some time
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
that example in particular, I very very clearly remember my bed depressing, my body rolling towards the depression, and my inner ear acknowledging the motion
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
they're not usually very upsetting, because I've been experiencing this my entire life, and I don't think of it as that strange
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
however they're a lot less scary in the dark β I can explain them away as shadows and sleepiness and silliness
<meowrobot>
it does sound concerning
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
but if I freak out, which occasionally happens, and go turn the lights on, it gets ten thouuuuuusand times worse β because then I have to acknowledge that I still see precisely the same thing in the clear light of day
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
if I do that, then I'm fucked for a day or two
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
less by OOOO SPIDERS and more by "oh shit, my brain is clearly completely broken, I can see something that isn't there in a fully-lit room"
<meowrobot>
yeah, definitely get any possible neurological causes ruled out first
<meowrobot>
the possible psychological causes could be...difficult to treat
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
meowrobot: not too worried about that; I'm pretty stable and healthy and shit
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and this has been very consistent through different life stages, and not connected to any other behavior or circumstance
<meowrobot>
i mean, i was speaking of possible psychotic disorders, if things get to that
<meowrobot>
though psychotic disorders straddle the border between neurology and psychology a lot
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
oh so
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Im KL4JC!
