|
| 7:11:21 PM | techstudier | i noticed on a previous show of cat5 tv the plugin did not work during the test peace for the show is it broke
|
| 7:12:07 PM | Garbee[m] | Chromecast is built into Android. Not MiraCast.
|
| 7:12:30 PM | techstudier | dream host still down
|
| 7:12:46 PM | techstudier | sleeping robot
|
| 7:12:47 PM | sparklyballs | sounds more like a nightmare then techstudier
|
| 7:12:47 PM | Garbee[m] | OH MiraCast is it too. They just re-brand it a little.
|
| 7:13:05 PM | Garbee[m] | So ChromeCast is ChromeCast + MiraCast specifications.
|
| 7:14:10 PM | techstudier | any one got plugin working on new kodi and how all my other plugin are working fine
|
| 7:14:48 PM | sparklyballs | i'm on kodi krypton with the plugin and watching the show techstudier

|
| 7:18:15 PM | sparklyballs | exactly one month today is exactly one week after my birthday SashaD-G6
|
| 7:18:58 PM | Garbee[m] | Do you have to ask if I've used Chromecast?
|
| 7:19:05 PM | BobK54 | chromecast
|
| 7:19:21 PM | SashaD-G6 | Happy almost birthday!!! Garbee , great guess!
|
| 7:19:23 PM | TheFu | UPnP - chromecast, DLNA here.
|
| 7:19:52 PM | TheFu | Chromecast is extremely specific on what video it can handle.
|
| 7:23:27 PM | TheFu | Anyone have a Plex Server?
|
| 7:23:28 PM | sparklyballs | for the new year countdown on my tv i just use a tv station lol
|
| 7:23:39 PM | techstudier | i have the stream back thanks for your help guys i see the star ship enterprise
|
| 7:25:41 PM | TheFu | How's the battery life doing that?
|
| 7:26:35 PM | Garbee[m] | It drains.
|
| 7:26:47 PM | Garbee[m] | Remember, you're running your screen as it is to the remote device.
|
| 7:26:52 PM | Garbee[m] | So the screen needs to always be on.
|
| 7:26:59 PM | Garbee[m] | Which is the biggest drain on battery.
|
| 7:27:27 PM | Garbee[m] | Keep it plugged in when casting for long periods.
|
| 7:27:46 PM | techstudier | portable chargers are very cheap now
|
| 7:28:11 PM | TheFu | SashaD-G6: Plus everything is video, so the screen will be on. That will use most of the battery ... but if you are gaming ... probably not much more. Thanks!
|
| 7:28:18 PM | Garbee[m] | techstudier: Only for devices that don't have fast charging.
|
| 7:28:28 PM | Garbee[m] | Fast charge devices can cost a little bit more.
|
| 7:29:39 PM | sparklyballs | we had a stick with a nail in it and that was our only toy RobbieF lol

|
| 7:33:05 PM | TheFu | Never mix your public persona and your blackhat personas. NEVER. SecOPS is hard.
|
| 7:33:51 PM | TheFu | HenryBB: I had/have a pet rock - srsly. It was a gift.
|
| 7:33:53 PM | TheFu | ;)
|
| 7:35:23 PM | Garbee[m] | TheFu: gaming and casting may slow it down some.
|
| 7:35:27 PM | HenryBB | That just sounds amazing...
|
| 7:35:31 PM | Garbee[m] | Your FPS on device will suffer.
|
| 7:35:49 PM | Garbee[m] | RobbieF: That is completely unproven currently.
|
| 7:36:03 PM | Garbee[m] | The US Government hasn't shown any evidence of him being a part of it.
|
| 7:36:17 PM | TheFu | RobbieF: That's a great story. Did you get any photos for future embarrassment?
|
| 7:36:19 PM | Garbee[m] | They're currently just claiming he is and interrogating him about it.
|
| 7:36:58 PM | sparklyballs | you don't let a murderer off because the week after he helped an old lady cross the road
|
| 7:37:40 PM | TheFu | SashaD-G6: If you don't want banking data leaked, don't ever, ever, ever, use a smartphone.

|
| 7:41:56 PM | Garbee[m] | Wayland is default for 17.10 and they will assess whether to keep it for 18.04 or revert to Xorg by default for that.

|
| 7:42:20 PM | Garbee[m] | Right now, they are going for collecting the most data to prepare for the LTS.
|
| 7:43:01 PM | techstudier | memory expansion to a amazing 64k

|
| 7:50:57 PM | BobK54 | haha, agreed
|
| 7:51:57 PM | Erikas | gratz sasha

|
| 8:09:30 PM | Lyndon | well ok
|
| 8:09:32 PM | Erikas | nice chairs
|
| 8:09:42 PM | Lyndon | im thinking budget
|
| 8:10:06 PM | Garbee[m] | There are some decent i7's for not too much more than an i5.
|
| 8:10:39 PM | Garbee[m] | The HT they add to i7's is super duper useful though to use as much of the CPU as possible.
|
| 8:10:43 PM | RobbieF | sounds like she's willing to pay, so i7+ is good
|
| 8:10:59 PM | HenryBB | Out of personal opinion, it's probably going to be around 1000-1200 :P
|
| 8:11:04 PM | Garbee[m] | Plus, building the good system now means it will last that much longer for them.
|
| 8:11:14 PM | HenryBB | i7 with good case and graphics
|
| 8:11:29 PM | Lyndon | I try to reserve $$ for GPU but your right Garbee[m]
|
| 8:11:32 PM | Garbee[m] | RobbieF: Do look at the HW Leaderboard here: https://www.pcper.com/hwlb
|
| 8:11:57 PM | Lyndon | I didnt even realize y'all were sitting
|
| 8:11:58 PM | techstudier | good show guys as always
|
| 8:11:59 PM | Garbee[m] | Lyndon: General rule of thumb, GPU and CPU should cost about the same generally. And they're going up there in GPU because of the 4k push.
|
| 8:12:15 PM | Lyndon | ahh, right
|
| 8:12:18 PM | Garbee[m] | SashaD-G6: https://www.pcper.com/hwlb
|
| 8:12:25 PM | Garbee[m] | Check that out when you can too to get some ideas.

|
| 8:13:27 PM | Lyndon | ok cya you guys
|
| 8:13:31 PM | Lyndon | ;)
|
| 8:14:32 PM | sparklyballs | cya folks
|
| 8:14:33 PM | TheFu | I generally pick a $200-ish CPU, then work backwards from that for all my upgrades. Still using cases from the 1990s. Don't see any reason to blow $10 on something newer there.
|
| 8:16:10 PM | TheFu | Benchmarks suck, but they are better than nothing for comparing CPUs.
|
| 8:16:12 PM | TheFu | https://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html
|
| 8:21:37 PM | garywhite | TheFu: FYI, $200 in the US is about $255 in Canada
|
| 8:21:59 PM | TheFu | You mean CA$255?
|
| 8:22:50 PM | TheFu | I'm not into blowing my money on overpriced systems, just because (anymore).
|
| 8:23:35 PM | TheFu | But I can understand why some people might. Nothing wrong with it.
|
| 8:23:43 PM | garywhite | My only tower is a P4 that boots very slowly into WinXP
|
| 8:23:49 PM | GWG | Did I miss anything?
|
| 8:24:50 PM | TheFu | GWG: No. Back from Manila?
|
| 8:25:00 PM | GWG | TheFu: Since July 20th.
|
| 8:25:05 PM | GWG | 21 Hours back
|
| 8:25:13 PM | GWG | MNL-NRT-DTW-LGA
|
| 8:25:14 PM | TheFu | What is it today?
|
| 8:25:26 PM | TheFu | I loose track of days.
|
| 8:25:48 PM | garywhite | That's a heck of a flight, I thought most Pacific flights went through SFO, SEA, LAX
|
| 8:25:59 PM | garywhite | Not to Detroit
|
| 8:26:14 PM | TheFu | Did a 38 hr travel from KTM-ICN-NRT-ATL, thanks to layovers.
|
| 8:26:26 PM | GWG | I flew Delta.
|
| 8:26:42 PM | GWG | The shortest route I could have taken was JFK-HKG-MNL.
|
| 8:27:07 PM | TheFu | garywhite: Lots of international airports in the USA have direct Asian flights.
|
| 8:27:24 PM | TheFu | PDX is common.
|
| 8:27:37 PM | garywhite | IK, but usually you have to connect on the West Coast, I thought
|
| 8:27:42 PM | TheFu | Nope.
|
| 8:27:46 PM | garywhite | Or at least to ORD
|
| 8:27:48 PM | GWG | I left out of Portland.
|
| 8:28:51 PM | TheFu | DTW has the cheapest direct to India often too.
|
| 8:29:15 PM | TheFu | HOU goes to Asia a bunch direct too.
|
| 8:29:38 PM | TheFu | Sorry ... IAH
|
| 8:30:39 PM | GWG | The best I can say is I'm free of Manila travel till 2018
|
| 8:30:45 PM | garywhite | I guess I thought that cause I tend to watch the flight radar to see if planes are flying over me (I live on SFO's partial flight path)
|
| 8:31:17 PM | garywhite | Almost any flight out of SFO, and almost any flight to Hawaii from the US flies near me
|
| 8:31:25 PM | TheFu | Makes complete sense. SFO **is** a huge Asian gateway. I've only been through it once going to HKG on United.
|
| 8:32:24 PM | GWG | I'm thinking of going to SFO this year
|
| 8:32:28 PM | TheFu | Back when DL was using MD-11s, PDX-NRT was my normal flight to Japan.
|
| 8:32:39 PM | GWG | TheFu: That's the one I took
|
| 8:33:17 PM | TheFu | The connection from ATL in PDX was good - like 1:45.
|
| 8:33:46 PM | TheFu | Way back in the 1990s when I was 2-wks over, 2-wks back for a yr.
|
| 8:34:11 PM | garywhite | One time I even saw a BA A380 flying low over my house on a flight SFO-LHR
|
| 8:34:29 PM | TheFu | SFO gets all the planes.
|
| 8:34:45 PM | TheFu | ATL has very limited jumbos these days.
|
| 8:35:14 PM | TheFu | Mostly just B77x, A330, and the occasional B74x types with cargo.
|
| 8:35:27 PM | garywhite | You'd be surprised, only 5 or 6 jumbos (B747 or A380) fly in every day, cause United is using more B787s now
|
| 8:35:49 PM | TheFu | I've never seen a B78x here. Not once.
|
| 8:36:02 PM | TheFu | Or an A380.
|
| 8:36:14 PM | TheFu | Saw a LUF-A340 one time - that was a treat.
|
| 8:36:23 PM | garywhite | Cause almost nobody uses them, United uses the most of them in the US I think
|
| 8:37:12 PM | GWG | Everyone is getting rid of the 747s in the US
|
| 8:37:25 PM | TheFu | Korean Air uses the A380s, B748 , but mostly B772/3s ... last time I looked. They come into ATL daily from ICN.
|
| 8:37:29 PM | GWG | DL just got its first 350
|
| 8:37:37 PM | TheFu | Kewl!
|
| 8:37:48 PM | TheFu | Haven't seen one IRL yet.
|
| 8:38:02 PM | GWG | TheFu: http://www.businessinsider.com/delta-airbus-a350-arrive-2017-8
|
| 8:38:15 PM | TheFu | But do you see EJBs and CRJs much?
|
| 8:38:32 PM | TheFu | We are lousy with those.
|
| 8:38:50 PM | garywhite | We see a ton of Embarers and CRJs
|
| 8:38:56 PM | GWG | TheFu: This last trip was my last opportunity to do a 747. DL is putting the 350s on the DTW-NRT route
|
| 8:39:00 PM | TheFu | "after 2:00 am on Sunday" ... oddly, I missed that. ;)
|
| 8:39:16 PM | GWG | I see a ton here too, but I mostly am on an A320, 330, or 321
|
| 8:39:44 PM | TheFu | I haven't flown a DL 74x in years. Mostly did KA or KLM B74x the last 7 yrs.
|
| 8:40:19 PM | TheFu | The A32x series tends to be VERY uncomfortable for me.
|
| 8:40:45 PM | garywhite | Here it's mostly EJB, 737, and a couple 757s, with 2 747s, an A380, and a couple CRJs & A32x
|
| 8:40:46 PM | TheFu | Have found the B739 seats for long-haul flights comfy. Oddly.
|
| 8:40:51 PM | GWG | TheFu: Me too. The 747s and the 767s I was on, and the newer 320s now reduce seat padding. I'm thinking of buying a cushion to bring along.
|
| 8:41:14 PM | TheFu | A donut? Gotta look cool.
|
| 8:41:26 PM | GWG | No.
|
| 8:41:35 PM | TheFu | JK.
|
| 8:42:15 PM | GWG | https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2SYDND
|
| 8:42:18 PM | GWG | I was thinking this
|
| 8:43:01 PM | garywhite | & BTW GWG, if you do go to SFO & plan on spending time there, you don't need a taxi, etc. The subway goes direct from the International Terminal to downtown SF & across the bay
|
| 8:43:10 PM | GWG | garywhite: I know
|
| 8:43:23 PM | GWG | I was out there 5 years ago for my cousin's wedding.
|
| 8:43:39 PM | garywhite | Oh, OK
|
| 8:44:19 PM | TheFu | How to get to Palo Alto from SFO?
|
| 8:44:26 PM | TheFu | We always rented a car.
|
| 8:44:58 PM | GWG | Someone suggested I attend this... https://www.rjionline.org/events/dodging-the-memory-hole-2017
|
| 8:45:35 PM | garywhite | Yeah... BART has been at SFO for 20 years & still no public transit down the peninsula
|
| 8:46:24 PM | TheFu | Not that anyone asked, but ATL has MARTA direct. If you are anywhere in down or mid or Lenox areas, no need for a car.
|
| 8:46:37 PM | garywhite | tbh, if you fly into the Bay Area, you may get lower fares going to OAK, then from there it's only 20 minutes to downtown SF
|
| 8:46:53 PM | TheFu | MARTA goes to many of the suburbs, except mine.
|
| 8:47:57 PM | TheFu | Thanks for that DL 350 link. I can probably get about 200 ft from the aircraft at the fence line.
|
| 8:48:00 PM | GWG | I have always wanted to do Atlanta.
|
| 8:48:00 PM | garywhite | Same, to get to SFO on transit, I have to drive 10 minutes to the station, then ride for almost 90 minutes to get there (never done it though, furthest I've gone is downtown SF)
|
| 8:48:03 PM | GWG | I've never left the airport
|
| 8:48:17 PM | GWG | Well, other than 1989 when Pan Am bumped me, but... not counting that
|
| 8:54:33 PM | TheFu | Atlanta can be "done" in 2-3 days. Nothing too great, but a few **must** see things. King Center for one. But many of the extra attractions require a vehicle to get there.
|
| 8:55:05 PM | TheFu | If you only have 1 day, there is plenty that can be seen without a vehicle. Much is near MARTA stations.
|
| 8:55:19 PM | TheFu | Obviously, don't come in August. ;)
|
| 8:56:45 PM | TheFu | Late Sept - October will be good weather. Same for April/May - beautiful, unless you have allergies. Then ATL is hell on Earth. Our pollen counts are in the 2000-4000 ranges in spring.
|
| 8:57:10 PM | TheFu | Sensitive people usually have issues around counts of 150, so ....
|
| 8:57:29 PM | TheFu | A few friends get allergy shots every 2-3 days in spring.
