07:05:22 PMMastermindzh Yesterday morning Robbie did magic again, he blew up lots of stuff again.

07:05:39 PMagamotto I saw something about a lightning strike
07:05:44 PMMastermindzh Robbie not the chilli story again, you know how hungry I got before :P
07:05:49 PMagamotto robgor, yeesh

07:07:41 PMGoodGuy I fried my first PC over the phone line
07:07:50 PMGoodGuy lightning
07:08:01 PMMastermindzh I fried my first PC by not checking the current I put into it :P
07:08:08 PMagamotto I like the idea, but none offer the ability to record telly yet. When they can do that, I may get interested.
07:08:11 PMGuest_9106 zucchin it;s courgette GOG lol
07:08:11 PM_Jot_ EricKidd, there is a firmware for routers called tomato
07:08:12 PMtic-toc Fried tomatoes
07:08:24 PMrevdjenk I ordered the initial day it was released, but it still took almost 4 weeks to receive it. It is nice to use otherwise.
07:08:31 PMrobgor that explains eric beard
07:08:32 PMGoodGuy $35 I don't expect a DVR
07:08:45 PMrevdjenk Don't care about the modem, RobbieF glad you are OK
07:09:14 PMagamotto GoodGuy, true. It is the one thing keeping me from moving over to a Roku or something similar.
07:09:48 PMagamotto That is a rather good deal
07:09:49 PMkeckeckec Try putting the batteries from the fried units to the old ones
07:09:50 PM_Jot_ If you like to donate, feel free to go to http://cat5.tv/c to help with the UPS stuff for example :)
07:09:57 PMGoodGuy Roku is good for streaming, but that is about it
07:10:19 PMGoodGuy I have a Roku 2 and a WD Live TV (older model)
07:10:43 PMrevdjenk GoodGuy: but have used it with some local files with some of the helpful volunteer addons
07:11:08 PMGoodGuy I prefer the WD Live for local media.. works great
07:11:23 PMrevdjenk WD?
07:11:41 PMGoodGuy Western Digital Live TV set top box
07:12:27 PMtic-toc Another NSA spying tool...yes we scan....
07:12:35 PMBobK54 on-off switch? the sticks dont have that. I have to unplug mine to shut it off
07:12:48 PMMastermindzh This one is a bit more advanced as well :D
07:12:56 PMagamotto I would be more worried about AT&T forking over all that data to DEA
07:14:04 PMMastermindzh Controllers work great as well on these devices :)
07:14:07 PMGoodGuy Logitech K400
07:14:09 PMMastermindzh Even wii controllers :)
07:14:16 PMBobK54 yep K400 here too
07:14:26 PMagamotto Hmmm, a use for those extra Wii things

07:15:20 PMrevdjenk freeze
07:15:32 PMMastermindzh BSP seems to be going on.
07:15:34 PMGoodGuy The K400 works on a Raspberry Pi also
07:15:35 PMpyrosrock_eee hmm RobbieF we are standing by
07:15:42 PMpyrosrock_eee on youtube
07:15:54 PMagamotto YouTube must have crossed some streams :)
07:16:19 PMMastermindzh It's a windows blue screen of death :)
07:16:22 PMMastermindzh no kidding.
07:16:29 PMpyrosrock_eee whoo big buffer
07:16:30 PMMastermindzh hot swapping the hdmi caused it to BSOD
07:16:31 PMEricKidd Gotta love BSOD!
07:16:57 PMagamotto Hmm, I can't recall my last BSOD...
07:17:22 PMagamotto I bet is a fault with HDCP handshaking
07:17:26 PMMastermindzh Robbie is lashing out against windows nice!

07:23:49 PMU-Al What are the specs of the Riko?
07:23:53 PMrevdjenk what if you don't own the original remote?
07:23:57 PMMastermindzh Dual core :)
07:24:04 PMagamotto Possibly... I have had several 'learning' and 'universal' remotes that could not do at least 1 device.

08:12:29 PMRobbieF note how the chat room starts spelling poorly when someone says good night, all rushing to politely get in their farewells? ;)
08:12:40 PMGuest_6760 okay goodnight
08:12:41 PM_Jot_ nah, I just can't type good
08:12:52 PMrats_ ty for the great show RobbieF & EricKidd
08:13:00 PMinvincib1emutant Dennis_Kelley: thanks for sharing RobbieF with your wife
08:13:24 PMinvincib1emutant Dennis_Kelley: the bard nerd must be very proud now
08:14:08 PM_Jot_ yay, Beer
08:14:27 PMinvincib1emutant RobbieF: do you have 'bring your own bottle' policy?
08:17:09 PMrobgor hey robbief do u want me to try and call you via skype to see if that device works?
08:17:28 PMinvincib1emutant RobbieF: i have got the following msg from jitsi
08:18:15 PMinvincib1emutant You have been disconnecting and reconnecting to the server too fast. The following account User name: xxxxxxx, server name: yahoo.com is temporraily banned and would have to wait for a bit before trying to login again
08:19:00 PMinvincib1emutant we should have warned audience about this
08:23:11 PM_Jot_ I'm listening RobbieF
08:24:05 PM_Jot_ I'm doing okay EricKidd, shame a bit of the show got corrupted
08:24:08 PM_Jot_ I don't have a copy unfortunatly
08:25:18 PM_Jot_ probably fake since people say such things here all the time
08:26:08 PMEricKidd The call was real, but i don't think he was serious about having them retrieve lost mail. It was on CBC news.
08:26:38 PM_Jot_ maybe skype works the 2nd time around
08:28:04 PM_Jot_ we're all doing fine EricKidd
08:29:01 PM_Jot_ wow, sounds very cool, that device must be the smartest thing in the room
08:29:16 PM_Jot_ except it didn't remember skype and such either etc :)
08:30:58 PM_Jot_ hi old new viewers :P
08:34:53 PM_Jot_ poor UPSs
08:35:12 PM_Jot_ co-ax-i-al RobbieF, not co-ax-al
08:38:43 PMrobgor_ anyone used tp-link router?
08:39:04 PM_Jot_ I have a very cheap 5 port gigabit router from tp-lin
08:39:45 PM_Jot_ apparently their stuff is really good for the price they are selling it for
08:40:59 PM_Jot_ I have an ethernet cable that doesn't work due to distance to another room, so I have the tp-link in that room, which has the cable connected to it, and because both ends are powered now, the cable works fine
08:41:17 PM_Jot_ anyway, I have my unraid-server plugged into it, and it's been really good fast and stable
08:41:34 PMrobgor_ yeah looking to get a new router that supports dd-wrt, I figured the issues I was having with my internet was due to the wifi on my cable modem
08:42:57 PMrobgor_ so got a choice of 5 that will work with dd-wrt 3 netgear a d-link and a tp-link
08:43:43 PM_Jot_ I don't like netgear because people swear by it, but I haven't had a single device that would just work, without having to install drivers or change stuff especially for the netgear
08:44:20 PM_Jot_ it was amazing RobbieF
08:45:04 PMRobbieF :)
08:45:06 PM_Jot_ I don't know about dlink cause I have no experience with it, but I think the tp-link probably is cheaper so I'd go with that first
08:45:14 PMRobbieF quite the night _Jot_
08:45:31 PMrobgor_ so _Jot_ this is the tp link one Iam looking at https://www.centrecom.com.au/tp-link-tl-wdr4300-750mbps-wireless-n-router
08:45:56 PM_Jot_ you're doing very well considering RobbieF, and seeing how many issues you have, could be much worse
08:46:51 PMDennis_Kelley Night/Day everyone! Stay safe. I am out of here!
08:47:36 PM_Jot_ good luck Dennis_Kelley
08:50:01 PM_Jot_ robgor, dd-wrt seems to have it supported with recent versions so sounds good
08:50:20 PM_Jot_ and feature-wise it seems great also in both 5ghz and 2.4ghz etc
08:50:29 PMrobgor_ yeah and dualband which is good
08:50:32 PMrobgor_ yeah
08:51:27 PM_Jot_ If I go through the router-database for d-link, a lot of them don't work, and for tp-link, most devices work so I'd like that more
08:51:58 PMrobgor_ yeah I have a netgear and that isnt supported
08:52:26 PM_Jot_ most netgears seem to work and if you replace firmware anyway you won't have so many issues, but wifi also depends on where you are, I've had devices work great for me that didn't work for other people
08:53:33 PM_Jot_ and my wifi that first worked all through the house now doesn't work anymore since they activated 'free' wifi for an ISP on all their routers that have wifi
08:55:46 PMrobgor_ yeah funny thing is when I changed to the speedpack from my isp I got a new cable model which the wifi didnt work, so got another modem which was a different brand a cisco. That was working fine most of the time apart from the occassional dropout which was when wired also, so I put up with it.
08:56:17 PMRobbieF :( Sad thing is, tonight WOULD have been the first night to show off how FAST the new transcoder is, but unfortunately we had to re-record and then splice together and render the video
08:56:21 PMRobbieF so it's gonna be late :)
08:56:25 PMRobbieF ah well... next week.
08:57:47 PMrobgor_ then when I changed to point linux from zorinos when ever I started to use torrent it killed my browser searching, so over the weekend I decided to hook up my router to the cable modem and switched off the wifi off the modem and used wifi on the router
08:58:49 PMrobgor_ and guest what problem solved, but strange that it started to happen when switching from one distro to another
09:00:17 PM_Jot_ might have been different Ip-stack-settings
09:00:30 PM_Jot_ like the buffer-sizes etc
09:00:35 PMrobgor_ not sure jot
09:01:52 PMrobgor_ well I have to go shopping soon for a birthday present for my nephew, this is going to be fun, see how many things he wants
09:02:05 PM_Jot_ anyway, here routers connected to ISPs get ISP-firmware so I wouldn't trust those at all, and always use a seperate router
09:02:27 PM_Jot_ heh, I'm sure he'll want lots, just how many affordable, that won't be so much :P
09:04:29 PMrobgor_ yeah, the other day my mum was baby sitting the 2 nephews and she stopped to get a frozen drink for them. She says I cant afford to get these for you all the time ok. The nephew who's birthday is coming up said ok, you need to save money for my birthday
09:05:04 PM_Jot_ kids :)
09:05:21 PMrobgor_ yep
09:06:05 PM_Jot_ I wonder if Eric being called a kid all the time influenced him :)
09:07:24 PMrobgor_ oh well guys Iam off, seya next time
