Can I get in trouble from my ISP for streaming pirated media from my home server through password-protected Samba?

1/2I have a very fussy kitchen wall clock. It's very old, at least 20 years. It takes 1xAA battery. It starts to lose time with NiMH. I'm guessing it's because it doesn't like voltages below 1.3V or something, and NiMH very quickly get down to that. Fine, whatever, just put in a new disposable every 6-18 months.I took 2xAA batteries out of an old digital clock my mother had. She had it since ~2012, had never changed the batteries. It was a digital alarm clock but she never used the alarm function, so all this time it only displayed the time with a basic LCD display. I checked the batteries, Philips Powerlife. Exp 2015. Still running today in 2025. No leakage. Still at ~1.45V. Neat.I don't use many AA powered things these days, so to use all the juice in them I put them in two clocks that each use 1xAA. One, a little bedroom alarm clock, the other the fussy kitchen wall clock I mentioned earlier. The kitchen wall clock started losing time, ~5-10 mins a day. The small bedroom alarm clock was fine though. I swapped the cells to ensure it wasn't an individual cell thing. It wasn't, because the same things happened with the swapped cells. The kitchen wall clock again lost time, the bedroom alarm clock again didn't.(btw i know this is mountains out of molehills stuff, but it's interesting for me as a total electronics dunce to learn some basic things, that's the point of this)Anyway so obviously the fussy wall clock is rejecting these batteries, but why? The voltage is still high so it can't be that. It must be something else to do with the age of the batteries right? Googling suggests to me the age of the cells has increased the internal resistance. Maybe that's why.
2/2So I buy babby's first multimeter. I measure much younger cells at around the same voltage (1.4-1.45) as these old Philips ones. Not getting any resistance reading at all on any of them. Just says 'o.l'. Unfortunately I cheaped out, it only has one resistance setting on the dial and is 'auto-sensing'. Maybe that doesn't work? Or maybe it does by design but I got a faulty one?However I have some completely flat-out dead batteries I haven't thrown yet, I measure them for comparison. A couple of completely dead AAA Duracells give me readings of 3.7 and 3.8 MEGAohms.A dead 9V rectangle battery gives me a reading of about 0.4 MEGAohms. So at least it can measure resistance.But back to these AA cells at ~1.4V. Both young cells and these older Philips ones aren't even registering, it says 'o.l'. Not even registering at 1 ohm. I think that's the lowest it measure though, 1 ohm, no less.So if the resistance isn't even registering, the same as fresher cells at the same voltage, then what is the problem? Why is the fussy wall clock losing time with these exp-in-2015 AA cells? I mean I assume it has to be something to do with age. But what specifically? If it's not voltage, and it's not resistance...what exactly is it? I want to learn.UPDATE SINCE WRITING THIS:I just tested a younger alkaline, but one with a lower voltage than the old batteries. This had 1.3V but is much younger (expires 7 years from now not 10 years ago). Had it in for about 5 hours now. Hasn't lost a second. So the clock isn't even THAT fussy about the voltage.So again, with this old battery, if it's not the voltage, there's no measurable degree of extra resistance, then it must be something else to do with age. But what??? I will almost certainly get rid of this clock and get a modern one from IKEA (because they only sell rechargables now and they explicitly pair their clocks with their batteries, so it must be suitable for use with NiMHs). But I want to figure this out first.
I'm looking to get into the world of IPTV and I was wondering if there are any good open source IPTV players out there?
Any good off-"meta" email providers? I miss cock.li
I need big, cheap, preferably fast 3.5" SATA drives. What's the best way to get them? By big I mean >=16GB
>>106811941Is /hsg/ dead? I would really need it right now, I'm the anon at >>106814120I set up an Apache server with MySQL on my Windows 10 PC to run FreshRSS and an extension for it called FreshVibes. And after a bit of tinkering, it worked. I followed a YouTube guide, except for the "move the XAMPP folder to Program Files" part because that was giving me all kinds of errors that I'm not confident enough to fix. This is the guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_iQufgPkMoAnyway, my question is: should I have done thing differently, maybe using Docker or something else? Should I have any security concerns? I'm also curious if I should now drop Livemarks (Firefox dropped Live Bookmarks for RSS, due to security concerns apparently, this extension restores them).
is there a tier list of phones with the cleanest android install? yes, i am aware of the pixel range.
>>106814271You don't need that anymore. You can make any android clean with UAD, that too without root.
Can I run two 1440p monitors from 7900x? Or do I need a dGPU? It's just browsing and work.
>>106813145When you measure resistance with a multimeter, the meter is trying to put charge into something. Internal resistance is the theoretical resistor which would be present in a circuit to account for the voltage drop a component exhibits under load according to Ohm's law. You measure that with a resistor across a battery and the voltage function on the meter. It's not a literal resistor, it's the side effect of your current source having internal losses.
>>106814366i don't want to be tech support for the people i'm buying phones for
>>106814536Then just buy a Pixel or if he a retard, smasnug.
>>106813136Watch this: youtube.com/watch?v=5U0qf1w-hW4&t=357His wall clock works as long as the voltage is >1V.Coincidentally, he's got the same multimeter as me and is consumed by the same inane question as you.>>106813145To measure the internal resistance you need to apply a highly resistive load to the battery, measuring without a load won't give the right results.https://www.learningaboutelectronics.com/Articles/Battery-internal-resistanceThe XTAR Dragon charger can measure resistance, but I think that resistance is a useless metric in this case.
>>106814271HMD (Nokia) smartphones come with the cleanest Android, at most they change a few icons.
Can someone make a new /hpg/ thread?
>>106814377Probably yes. There may be more information in you motherboard manual.AMD are a company of retards incapable of describing their own products, their "tech specs" are so incomplete it's hilarious.
>>106814828i'll check them out. thanks.
I want to buy a headphone DAC since my laptop's onboard broke and I'm currently using a piece of shit that came with a $20 headset and suspect it might not be so goodNo need for amplification, bluetooth, or portability, I just want something transparent for desktop use.What do I buy? Used is ok.Online reviews are full of garbage opinions that wouldn't hold up to a blind test.
I wanna write a teach-to-learn book on compiler construction.What should the language for examples be? is Lua good? OCaml? Haksell? Scheme? Rust? C? Please don't say C.
Wait, the Doctor is a troon now?Why do Westoids allow Zionists to destroy the moral fabric of their society?Oh wait, I got the answer: it's less likely for troons to put them in the oven.But then again, if I am to collect a vast army, and march into Europe, these troons won't be able to defend themselves.
Iranian troons are manlier than Westoid troons. Prove me wrong.They make good cannon-fodders for my battles.
> troon wearing a hijabNow I've seen everything. And I've seen a lot of things.
Damn Iranian women are so masculine by default, I have a hard time clocking this as a troon.
Where is everyone? Why is 4chidori so empty these days?
Please be honest guys. Am I dead? Is this the afterlife? Am I in hell, or heaven?
>>106815800Try German.
>>106815833Yanks are asleep you idiot.
>>106815868Purely-Aryan Germans and Nords must produce the best-looking troons.>>106815883Wake them up then. I'm going to nuke some random city in Montana. That's oughta wake 'em up.
>>106813136>>106813145>fussy clocks losing timeThis may sound like a retarded question but its relevant... do these "fussy clocks" have a swinging pendulum? If so there is a little threaded bit at the base of the pendulum that raises and lowers it and thats how you fine tune the timing.Whilst I have a 35 day spring-wound pendulum clock (no batteries) I also have a battery powered pendulum clock and adjusting the timing is the same for both
>>106815523What model and brand are your headphones though? This should be discussed over at /hpg/ but there's no thread.
Look at the most retarded thing uttered by an LLM:> Regular expressions are a first-class feature in Diyrbal. The user-facing syntax is r/.../, followed by optional flags (e.g., r/hello/i). This presents a classic lexing challenge: distinguishing the / that starts a regex from the / used for division.> Languages like JavaScript solve this with a “lexer hack”—the parser feeds context back to the lexer, telling it whether a / is likely to be a division operator or the start of a regex.How about using a stack of states in the lexer?Also, I told this motherfucker my language is Wirthan. In all Wirthian language, the divide operator is `DIV`, and `MOD` for modulo. `SHR`/`SHL` too.One thing both Opus 4.1 and GPT won't graps when I say my syntax is Wirthian is, they think keywords must be all-caps.Since the 70s, all Algol-derived languages have had case-insensitive keywords.
>>106815941yeah i posted here cause no threadDT 900 Pro X, 48 ohms so no need for ampI see I can get an AudioQuest DragonFly Red used for around $80... or maybe Audioengine D1 for about the same. Good idea or not?
>>106816001You can't have a dac with no amp, I guess you mean dac/amp combo instead of standalone dac and amp. I think that audioquest might be outdated now that there's so many good usb c dongles. Look it up on ASR website.
>>106816020ahh yeah you're right about the amp, my mistakei'm not sure what it being outdated means in practical terms but i will keep lookingthanks for the help
