Jul 23 06:48:48 *may* ... at least many older ones didn't. don't know about newer ones Jul 23 18:00:44 brolin_empey: I don’t think it does. Mine stays on when connected. But I’d assume it’s a very low amount of power. It can probably run for weeks on the car battery. Jul 23 18:01:26 The older one I bought 10 years ago was when I owned a 1995 captive classic. And the stupid thing had an obd1.5 port lol Jul 23 18:01:41 It was the year before obd2 was mandated. Jul 23 18:02:14 jrg: What is your current vehicle? Jul 23 18:02:15 luke-jr: iOS only works with 4.0 BLE Jul 23 18:02:25 A 2014 equinox Jul 23 18:02:46 I bought it outright in 2015 heh. Jul 23 18:04:37 jrg: What is a Captive Classic? Did you mean Caprice Classic? Jul 23 18:05:07 Yeah. Jul 23 18:05:15 Auto correct i guess. Jul 23 18:05:31 But capital I wasn’t fixed in that last sentence? :) Jul 23 18:06:18 The caprice was great when I lived in CA but then I came back home to Chicago and it wasn’t very snow friendly. Jul 23 18:06:31 OK. I thought you meant Caprice Classic because I could not find a vehicle named Captive nor Captive Classic on en.wikipedia.org . Jul 23 18:06:51 Yeah. Caprice classic. Lol Jul 23 18:08:20 Sucked it didn’t have an obd2 port. It was some awkward port in between the standard. Jul 23 18:08:36 96 has obd2 Jul 23 18:08:52 I think 96 was the last year for that style of car. Jul 23 18:21:00 Yes, en.wikipedia.org says that 1996 is the last model year of the fourth generation. Jul 23 18:21:39 OBD wasn't adopted as quickly in the US, it been mandatory for EU cars ales for a long while. Jul 23 19:51:08 interesting. i always thought it was the other way round, i.e. US adopted it quicker than EU Jul 23 20:04:39 American manufacturers all had there own proprietary connectors and protocols before OBD became mandatory in the EU Jul 23 21:01:24 i think it was mandated in the US for 1996 and newer models Jul 23 21:01:32 but yeah. prior to taht they had proprietary ones Jul 23 21:01:49 govt putting OBD2 reader manufacturers out of business. i blame china :) Jul 23 21:13:51 There where slightly different standards tho. You have OBD and EOBD they have been aligned over the years to EOBD2 Jul 23 21:37:52 halftux: the general wordlists are really bad for anagramming. You want only common words, otherwise your anagram sounds like something a robot that has an infinite vocabulary would come up with. Which is crap. Jul 23 21:38:24 And I appreciate that halftux isn't onchan at the moment Jul 23 21:38:31 Is there a memo facility on this server? Jul 23 21:46:32 we do have at least two logging bots :) Jul 23 21:46:39 and yes, Freenode supports memos Jul 23 22:31:08 infobot do you have a memory Jul 23 22:31:08 yes, I have a memory. Jul 23 22:31:30 infobot can you use your memory Jul 23 22:31:51 ... Jul 23 22:32:43 Maybe we are asking a bit much of infobot to remember more than it's gender **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Jul 24 02:59:57 2019
