| kyak | viric: wives always talk about insanity ;) | 05:22 |
|---|---|---|
| viric | no idea, but a fair amount of the russians I know use to mention "that's insane" for things other people do. I mean it's a noticeable easy trigger for that :) | 08:15 |
| viric | moreover, I think that changing dictionary definitions may be something very clever instead of insane. | 08:15 |
| viric | Yes, it's a scandal, but scandals last two days, and then life goes on | 08:16 |
| whitequark | viric: interesting observation | 12:54 |
| whitequark | I wonder why does this happen | 12:54 |
| viric | :) | 12:56 |
| viric | I think most russians I know tend to have a worldview of they feeling as "perfect logic analyzers", so all foreign that doesn't match becomes ilogic or insane. | 12:57 |
| viric | Maybe it's something in the education system | 12:57 |
| viric | but instead of thinking "weird, I don't understand why those people do that", they think "those people are insane" | 12:57 |
| viric | But maybe simply the construction "they are insane" is a russian pattern to mean "I don't understand those" | 12:58 |
| kyak | it's just a common phrase | 12:58 |
| kyak | not just they really think they are insane | 12:58 |
| viric | yes, can be. | 12:58 |
| whitequark | I would say that both are partly correct. But yes, I didn't mean that those spaniards were *literally* insane :) | 12:59 |
| viric | For us, the english idiom "I'm excited" here has clear sexual connotations | 12:59 |
| viric | Yet english people say "I received the nanonote! I'm excited about it!" | 12:59 |
| viric | :) | 13:00 |
| viric | and I bet they don't mean anything sexual | 13:00 |
| whitequark | dunno, it doesn't sound sexual for me when said in english | 13:00 |
| whitequark | in russian, indeed it would | 13:00 |
| kyak | "272>;=>20=" sounds stupid, "2>71C645=" has sexual context :) | 13:02 |
| whitequark | imo "can't wait to <verb>" would be the best alternative for translating "excited" | 13:03 |
| kyak | in this case you would have to come up with that <verb> | 13:06 |
| kyak | "271C4>@065=" :) | 13:08 |
| whitequark | hehe | 13:23 |
| whitequark | morons making my notebook decided to omit 2.0 support in chipset completely and implement it through a rate-matching hub | 13:24 |
| whitequark | so without xhci-hcd loaded I cannot access any of my external ports, whereas that would be a 2.0 or 3.0 device on them | 13:24 |
| whitequark | and given that xhci-hcd fails to recognize STM32VLDISCOVERY, hm, I've no idea what to do | 13:25 |
| whitequark | except to begin despising new technology | 13:25 |
| kyak | would external usb 2.0 hub be of any help? | 13:25 |
| whitequark | oh, actually I wasn.t exactly right. they DID implement 2.0 support in chipset, but only routed it to internal devices. | 13:26 |
| whitequark | kyak: probably no | 13:26 |
| whitequark | the problem is with the linux driver and/or differences in HCI implementation | 13:26 |
| whitequark | linux *xhci* driver, which gets to identify the device regardless of its actual usb version | 13:26 |
| whitequark | hm well, for some reason the usb-storage quirk helped | 13:29 |
| whitequark | I'm feeling quite stupid right now | 13:30 |
| whitequark | meh, the flasher doesn't work anyway | 13:42 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | whitequark: lol | 16:02 |
| whitequark | DocScrutinizer05: what in particular? | 16:02 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | 3.0 and converter for external ports | 16:02 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | or rather: 2.0 for internal USB only | 16:03 |
| whitequark | oh indeed | 16:03 |
| whitequark | intel surely does some weird decisions | 16:03 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | morons don't consider at least one genuine 2.0 external port | 16:04 |
| whitequark | it seems that they use the rate-matching hub technique for a long time; they did the same with 1.0/2.0 | 16:04 |
| wpwrak | the magazines like it if all the ports are USB 3.0 ;-) | 16:04 |
