7:12:59 PM | Dennis_Kelley | Lost in Space for the Win!
|
7:13:00 PM | ABQTKY | Yom Huledet Sameach l'kulam!! (to anyone who knows what I just wrote...and all other Linux users) 8-)
|
7:13:42 PM | GWG | ABQTKY: I know what you said.
|
7:13:59 PM | ABQTKY | GWG, I know YOU do.
|
7:19:12 PM | GWG | ABQTKY: I'm pretty transparent
|
7:20:19 PM | ABQTKY | GWG, why am I now thinking of an ancient (50's) TV show? (Topper) 8-|
|
7:22:38 PM | Solbu | Or Acme Inc. :-)
|
7:23:35 PM | TheFu | Just check the source domain for the email.
|
7:24:01 PM | TheFu | And dont open attachments that are phishy.
|
7:24:52 PM | TheFu | But most spam filters see that the FROM and the from-server aren't the same domain.
|
7:24:56 PM | GWG | ABQTKY: Which one?
|
7:25:09 PM | GWG | I Love Lucy?
|
7:25:22 PM | TheFu | Email programs that don't show email address are broke.
|
7:25:37 PM | GWG | Retro gaming....how about this? https://www.harumancustoms.com/products/bartop-kits/widescreen-bartop
|
7:25:40 PM | ABQTKY | GWG, the ancient show was Topper. Early 50's. Don't mind me, I'm just nutz.
|
7:25:52 PM | raidghost | One three Hill :P
|
7:25:59 PM | Dennis_Kelley | maybe!!
|
7:26:07 PM | GWG | ABQTKY: Not one I know.
|
7:26:28 PM | Dennis_Kelley | RobbieF_ give SashaR a hug for me! we are friends!
|
7:26:33 PM | raidghost | What does this game device cost?
|
7:26:38 PM | ABQTKY | GWG, ahh, you youngsters these days!
|
7:27:53 PM | TheFu | 13 inch.
|
7:28:51 PM | Guest_6412 | Hey Robbie, been watching Cat5 TV for several years and always enjoy the show. I remember a year or two ago you showed us your LTE modem, and noticed you only had one antenna attached to it, running an LTE modem or even a wireless router without an antenna is never a good thing, doing so over a long period of time will eventually cause damage to t
|
7:28:51 PM | Guest_6412 | he radio in your LTE modem, and could be the cause of your LTE issues.
|
7:29:12 PM | GWG | ABQTKY: You'd be surprised what I remember
|
7:29:54 PM | BaldricTheBrave | Hi guys, just ordered a tasty Cat5 black tee shirt...
|
7:30:22 PM | BaldricTheBrave | Still habe
|
7:30:41 PM | ABQTKY | GWG, ooookay. Who asked, "Will they ever finish Bruckner Boulevard?" Hint, decades ago...famous person.
|
7:31:01 PM | BaldricTheBrave | Still have an Atari 2600 game consol...
|
7:31:29 PM | GWG | ABQTKY: I'm still upset after all the construction they are getting rid of the Sheridan Expressway
|
7:32:09 PM | ABQTKY | GWG, I'm getting vibes that you don't know the answer.
|
7:32:20 PM | MarshMan | Bruckner himself asked
|
7:32:30 PM | raidghost | Just to be honest. Raspberry Pi v3 B+ is not that much faster then the v3 b
|
7:32:40 PM | TheFu | only 20% faster.
|
7:32:41 PM | raidghost | Its slow as ice.
|
7:33:00 PM | raidghost | Tried plex and kodi on it. Didnt play 1920x1080
|
7:33:06 PM | GWG | ABQTKY: It wasn't Robert Moses.
|
7:33:10 PM | raidghost | could barly play 480P
|
7:33:31 PM | TheFu | raidghost: what codecsdid you try?
|
7:33:44 PM | TheFu | I use pi v2 and v3 with kodi daily.
|
7:33:47 PM | raidghost | Not sure. rasbian
|
7:33:49 PM | raidghost | With gnome
|
7:33:51 PM | TheFu | h.264 is fine.
|
7:34:12 PM | raidghost | Bought a B+ and a 7" touch screen
|
7:34:13 PM | TheFu | mpeg2 works, but only with the mpeg $2 license key.
|
7:34:18 PM | TheFu | h.265 won't work.
|
7:34:19 PM | raidghost | did deliver it back to store. Waste of money
|
7:34:30 PM | ABQTKY | GWG, No, no. The famous Ada Louise Huxtable asked the question. AND she used that as the title on a book of old columns. She was the architecture critic for the NYTimes decades and decades ago.
|
7:34:40 PM | BaldricTheBrave | Watching from the UK on Kodi... only trouble is it 12.34am
|
7:34:49 PM | TheFu | raidghost: if you assume it is a general computer, it will fail to meet expectations.
|
7:35:18 PM | raidghost | TheFu: Wanted it as a tablet for plane and buss
|
7:35:37 PM | TheFu | If you want a tablet, but a tablet.
|
7:35:40 PM | raidghost | But i figured out it wasnt wurth the money. Rasp would for me allways be crap.
|
7:35:51 PM | MarshMan | Love Etcher
|
7:36:16 PM | MarshMan | RobbieF_: the save icon is still a floppy
|
7:36:20 PM | raidghost | Only retropai usefull
|
7:36:23 PM | TheFu | Etcher seems like too much bloat. dd or ddrescue do the job.
|
7:36:37 PM | GWG | I use DD
|
7:36:44 PM | raidghost | But to play games on a HD tv. 42 inch or bigger. Its Crap colors
|
7:36:49 PM | GWG | ABQTKY: I know about the book. Didn't remember the name.
|
7:37:26 PM | ABQTKY | GWG, nice! I _have_ the book...somewhere. Never read it though.
|
7:37:42 PM | raidghost | TheFu: i rather buy a ODROID-XU4
|
7:38:07 PM | GWG | I'm disappointed when I meet people who don't know what a floppy was
|
7:38:16 PM | TheFu | If I'm spending that much money, I'd get 10x the CPU and get a cheap intel.
|
7:38:16 PM | M1k3_0 | Just got my first pi last week. Will probably do this for fun this weekend.
|
7:38:39 PM | raidghost | GWG: I met people that didnt know that they had to clone the old drive before replace with a new one (they thought the OS was included when they bought it)
|
7:39:00 PM | raidghost | So they was like "My OS wont boot up after replace harddrive"
|
7:39:20 PM | ABQTKY | raidghost, there's a new Odroid that was announced and may be coming out this summer. More expensive but much nicer!!
|
7:40:23 PM | GWG | They still have math coprocessors?
|
7:40:34 PM | GWG | I remember I had one on my 486DX
|
7:40:41 PM | MarshMan | ABQTKY: it does look nice. Why they made it a hexacore tho...
|
7:41:27 PM | MarshMan | also still a big little cpu
|
7:41:32 PM | GWG | That is much nicer than the one I have. On mine the USB port is under the cartridge slot.
|
7:48:04 PM | TheFu | Coleco ... something.
|
7:48:23 PM | TheFu | Remember getting the 2600 for Xmas around '76
|
7:48:34 PM | raidghost | ABQTKY: Do you have any specs on it? URL?
|
7:48:54 PM | BaldricTheBrave | Still have my 2600 brown box
|
7:49:16 PM | MarshMan | I still have a working handheld Coleco football with just red led dashes as the players
|
7:49:19 PM | GWG | I am still thinking of building something like this... https://www.harumancustoms.com/products/bartop-kits/widescreen-bartop
|
7:49:40 PM | TheFu | Gave one away in '96 before moving cross country. Had about 100 cartridges.
|
7:49:51 PM | TheFu | MarshMan: I had that too! 7th grade.
|
7:50:01 PM | TheFu | Head - to -head play?
|
7:50:13 PM | ABQTKY | raidghost, no. But the announcement mentionsed two SATA ports, USB3, Gig Ethernet, stuff like that. There may be two or three versions of the new one...with increasing prices, of course. They mentioned June...but that was a few months ago.
|
7:50:14 PM | MarshMan | turn based
|
7:50:29 PM | TheFu | MarshMan: I had the head-to-head version.
|
7:51:10 PM | BaldricTheBrave | Even older still is my Tandy game consol
|
7:51:15 PM | TheFu | Friend had the race car game ... I'd guess that was the first "side-screen-scroller" game ... though it scrolled top down.
|
7:51:33 PM | MarshMan | TheFu: used to play every day on the SI ferry on our way to high school
|
7:52:18 PM | Solbu | RobbieF_: Super Mario!
|
7:52:35 PM | MarshMan | Dr Mario
|
7:52:42 PM | GWG | How about my favorite....Tapper for Arcades?
|
7:53:10 PM | TheFu | Spyhunter!
|
7:53:41 PM | raidghost | ABQTKY: Any that can run 4k?
|
7:53:46 PM | Garbee | You do have music going RobbieF_. I can hear it.
|
7:53:51 PM | Garbee | It's just very faint.
|
7:53:54 PM | raidghost | Want some Juiczy cpu
|
7:53:55 PM | TheFu | We hear audio.
|
7:53:57 PM | ABQTKY | raidghost, not sure.
|
7:54:01 PM | GWG | Now I'm going to have to break out my Picade
|
7:54:07 PM | Solbu | RobbieF_: We hear the game sound.
|
7:54:13 PM | BaldricTheBrave | Def got sound
|
7:57:10 PM | TheFu | Sasha has a bicycle, not a car.
|
7:57:17 PM | TheFu | Paperboy?
|
8:01:48 PM | TheFu | Would a PS2 controller work? They are USB.
|
8:02:23 PM | raidghost | If someone or the HOSTS of this live feed have some advices for Tablets for travel (have to play all video formats)
|
8:02:49 PM | TheFu | raidghost: No tablet can play "all video formats."
|
8:03:05 PM | TheFu | No computer can play "all video formats"
|
8:03:32 PM | TheFu | I have a Fire 8HD ... and it does video from my Plex server (which transcodes) fine.
|
8:03:36 PM | raidghost | Like 4K HEVC 1080P
|
8:03:46 PM | TheFu | raidghost: None that I know today.
|
8:04:08 PM | GWG | I try to help with the pronunciation
|
8:04:18 PM | TheFu | Heck, I don't think any of my PCs handle HEVC in hardware.
|
8:04:53 PM | raidghost | TheFu: My i7 laptop does
|
8:05:03 PM | raidghost | But laptop is too not "Travelfriendly"
|
8:05:13 PM | TheFu | Exactly.
|
8:06:16 PM | TheFu | You can transcode the media you want to take on a trip using a little scripting.
|
8:06:33 PM | TheFu | YES, Sweden get's snow.
|
8:06:38 PM | raidghost | nooooo
|
8:06:57 PM | raidghost | I dont want snow in sweden. Gonna take a trip to sweden and no winter wheels on at the moment
|
8:07:02 PM | TheFu | Florida gets snow ... once in a while.
|
8:07:49 PM | raidghost | This Playstation remte the host was showing. Does that allow 2 remotes paired at the same time?
|
8:11:39 PM | raidghost | Bedtime now in norway . But this would be downloaded and watched in dayligh;)
|
8:11:42 PM | TheFu | Alexa "that sucks"
|
8:12:36 PM | TheFu | My Fire tablet forced an update yesterday that enabled Alexa without asking.
|
8:13:03 PM | BobK54 | stop saying Alexa. my dot is going crazy here. haha
|
8:14:06 PM | TheFu | I wanted to root it, but they are staying ahead with OS updates, so nobody has been able to root the newer models.
|
8:14:26 PM | raidghost | Root what?
|
8:14:33 PM | raidghost | IOS?
|
8:14:40 PM | TheFu | I'm with Sasha - amazon recommends things I bought that should last 20 yrs.
|
8:14:50 PM | TheFu | Fire 8HD tablet.
|
8:14:55 PM | raidghost | costs?
|
8:15:06 PM | TheFu | I won't allow Apple stuff in the house.
|
8:15:25 PM | raidghost | TheFu: If they paid you enought. i guess :P
|
8:15:28 PM | TheFu | There was a $25 deal earlier this week with some conditions.
|
8:15:57 PM | TheFu | raidghost: True. But I'm not driven by money anymore.
|
8:16:11 PM | TheFu | Normal price for the Fire 8HD is $50.
|
8:16:55 PM | TheFu | I've had a 10inch tablet - too big. Tried a 7inch tablet - too small. 8in is _just right_ for me.
|
8:17:22 PM | GWG | I have an 8IN
|
8:17:31 PM | TheFu | That's what she said.
|
8:21:44 PM | Garbee | Sasha, Um... On reading the ToS. "Informed Consent" is a thing in the law, and it was made pretty clear at the hearing last week that our congress doesn't believe users are properly informed in any way. They made it clear they know Facebook actively obscures what is going on.
|
8:22:07 PM | Garbee | So, the lawsuit actually has a good deal of weight to it. It just needs to be properly argued.
|
8:22:17 PM | GWG | Garbee: You think someone in Congress clearly knows something?
|
8:22:24 PM | Garbee | Oh there she is.
|
8:22:29 PM | Garbee | and gone just as fast.
|
8:22:40 PM | Garbee | GWG, some of them do.
|
8:22:48 PM | Garbee | Especially on the topic of informed consent. :P
|
8:22:58 PM | GWG | I had to sit through a GPDR lecture today
|
8:23:06 PM | Garbee | Not much on the tech side too much. But in this context they're very well informed to make the call.
|
8:23:52 PM | Garbee | SashaD, Um... On reading the ToS. "Informed Consent" is a thing in the law, and it was made pretty clear at the hearing last week that our congress doesn't believe users are properly informed in any way. They made it clear they know Facebook actively obscures what is going on.
|
8:23:57 PM | Garbee | hahhaah
|
8:23:58 PM | Garbee | I give up.
|
8:24:20 PM | TheFu | Copyright .... that's why Star Wars gets re-released. Abandon-ware isn't in the USA. Sounds like a Canada thing. Those guys are smart up there, often.
|
8:24:28 PM | ABQTKY | Garbee, whose Congress are you talking about?? Over here cluelessness is an art form.
|
8:25:07 PM | Garbee | ABQTKY: United States. Where the lawsuit is based and Zuckerberg was just in a congressional hearing about privacy over the Cambridge Analytica mess.
|
8:25:30 PM | Garbee | All governments are mostly clueless in different ways.
|
8:26:47 PM | MarshMan | RobbieF_: Wish Sasha a happy birthday. My birthday week is next week.
|
8:27:13 PM | ABQTKY | +Garbee, I saw a video clip of him - he has actually wearing a big boy suit! Amazing!!
|
8:28:14 PM | TheFu | There are "stupid representative" youtube clips showing representatives from my state. The level of incompetence is really impressive.
|
8:28:35 PM | Garbee | ABQTKY: He was well trained in deflecting questions and eating up time.
|
8:28:41 PM | GWG | I just bought a fry cutter
|
8:28:42 PM | ABQTKY | The committee members were so frazzled at the sight they probably forgot most of what to ask him about.
|
8:28:48 PM | GWG | Made some great zucchini fries
|
8:28:53 PM | Garbee | He paid some real money to learn how to do that in the days before.
|
8:29:06 PM | Garbee | Nah, they had their questions written down.
|
8:29:15 PM | Garbee | They were just bought out beforehand.
|
8:29:19 PM | Garbee | So most of it was easy questions.
|
8:29:24 PM | TheFu | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7XXVLKWd3Q - afraid that Guam might tip over.
|
8:29:25 PM | Garbee | Or stuff he really couldn't answer.
|
8:29:56 PM | TheFu | I loved the "will you share your hotel from last night with us?"
|
8:30:02 PM | Garbee | What peeved me about the hearing... A few members questioned him to support their bills. Like a blank check. "Will you come back and support my bill to X?"
|
8:30:13 PM | Garbee | Zuck gave the right response, "Uh, that would depend on the contents..."
|
8:30:16 PM | Garbee | and they got angry.
|
8:30:37 PM | Garbee | haha yea, that got Zuck way off guard.
|
8:30:41 PM | TheFu | Zuck is a smart guy.
|
8:30:43 PM | Garbee | And was so accurate.
|
8:31:07 PM | Garbee | He's smart but also, like anyone, so stupid in some areas.
|
8:31:13 PM | TheFu | Yep.
|
8:31:23 PM | Garbee | Like, he should have known his company got a fine from the FTC.
|
8:31:37 PM | Garbee | WTF? For real? You as the CEO really don't know about the first time your company got a fine from the feds?
|
8:32:08 PM | Garbee | That just shows he is either so insulated from the operation of his company he's effectively a puppet head. Or he was lying to avoid talking about it.
|
8:32:23 PM | TheFu | Why? Those fines aren't material to their profits. FTC fines only matter to newspapers and tiny companies. They don't have much real impact on huge, profitable, corporations.
|
8:32:44 PM | Garbee | It's still a big legal thing to get one.
|
8:32:59 PM | TheFu | Met a guy who lost his company over stupid FTC lawsuit.
|
8:33:04 PM | Garbee | And it really didn't matter, because as the congress-person pointed out... The FTC can't enforce fine collection on the first offence.
|
8:33:46 PM | Garbee | So, even though on paper they had a fine of $60M or whatever. They legally didn't owe any of it unless they *wanted* to pay it.
|
8:34:02 PM | TheFu | The FTC abused their power to put him out of business. The options he was given would have him accept legal responsibility for something that never happened.
|
8:34:13 PM | TheFu | $60M is nothing.
|
8:34:23 PM | Garbee | But, they shoulda called the Equifax CEO/CTO from when that breach happened in too for a session.
|
8:34:38 PM | Garbee | Grilled both of them on their privacy violations and their methods to collect so much data and lose it.
|
8:34:55 PM | Garbee | But no, they already spend so much money in Congress. That level of scrutiny wouldn't happen.
|
8:35:10 PM | Garbee | I think they *just* got the CEO in for one session. And he ofc won't know anything about the tech angles.
|
8:35:16 PM | TheFu | Didn't you hear? The Equifax breach was the fault of 1 engineer.
|
8:35:37 PM | Garbee | lol, that's a lie.
|
8:35:48 PM | TheFu | That's what the CTO said.
|
8:35:55 PM | Garbee | That hack was a literal entire company screw-up from the top down.
|
8:36:07 PM | Garbee | Oh that statement. Yea, CTO scapegoating.
|
8:36:33 PM | TheFu | The fact that the CTO/CIO didn't have a process in place to ensure all systems were correctly patched in a timely way certainly couldn't be the reason.
|
8:38:05 PM | Garbee | It's so much deeper than that.
|
8:38:17 PM | Garbee | But actually, not patching timely is a norm for Enterprise.
|
8:38:25 PM | Garbee | If it doesn't run for 15 years. They don't touch it.
|
8:38:43 PM | Garbee | Docker is starting to shift that mentality for some big orgs.
|
8:38:48 PM | TheFu | It was a 1-off system that was hacked.
|
8:39:04 PM | Garbee | But, these credit companies are another matter entirely due to all the extra hoops they have to go through.
|
8:39:32 PM | TheFu | And who to you think wrote the rules they follow?
|
8:40:21 PM | TheFu | Sasha?
|
8:40:35 PM | TheFu | Or is it just her hexchat reconnecting?
|
9:00:41 PM | lichenx1 | couldn't make it earlier, been sick but watching now
|
9:05:18 PM | RobbieF_ | hope you enjoy the show lichenx1!
|
9:05:28 PM | RobbieF_ | Hope you're feeling better
|
9:06:44 PM | lichenx1 | getting there I think... thanks.
