7:05:39 PMMarshMan Oh yes she can
7:05:40 PMGarbee Sigh. Gonna make a Lubuntu disk and dd all zeros to the SSD.
7:05:57 PMrob sashaR is 100% correct
7:05:59 PMGarbee See if that can flush out whatever is stuck in the drive causing an issue.
7:06:11 PMGarbee He has not said hello to me.
7:06:30 PMMarshMan @RobbieF cut out a couple of times last week

7:06:36 PMGarbee
7:06:37 PMGarbee
7:07:21 PMGarbee Spaceballs Sasha
7:07:27 PMGarbee The parody of Star Wars.
7:07:30 PMTheFu Thta's my luggage code!
7:08:35 PMrob SpaceBalls is so silly but at the same time it so great
7:09:04 PMGarbee @Jeff Weston it was never a thing.
7:09:09 PMGarbee George made them promise to only do one movie.
7:09:25 PMGarbee But somehow we got an animated thing a while back... That bombed.
7:09:41 PMGWG Give me Blazing Saddles any day
7:09:52 PMMarshMan @bp9 Looks like it's in the middle of the ocean somewhere
7:10:29 PMGarbee I watched Blazing Saddles the other week. I wasn't impressed.
7:10:51 PMMarshMan No accounting for taste @Garbee
7:10:52 PMGWG You need to see it in the context of the times
7:10:53 PMGarbee It had some funny moments and I can see where it was pushing things back in the day. But watching it fresh now it doesn't have the same feel.
7:11:22 PMGarbee Yup. It's all about that time context.
7:11:25 PMGWG I always give the Google a male voice to distinguish them
7:11:28 PMGarbee I just don't get it.
7:11:43 PMGWG Howard Johnson jokes don't play in 2018
7:11:52 PMrob I have a Google Home and Mini love them
7:11:54 PMMarshMan Hey @Michael - KD4MAA
7:12:03 PMGWG Google Slides? They have a water park now?
7:12:13 PMTheFu I'm with you Garbee - never thought much of Mel Brooks' humor.
7:12:55 PMTheFu Or Monty P. Not funny, to me. IT Crowd **is** funny.
7:13:06 PMGWG Spaceballs didn't thrill me as much as some of his others
7:13:08 PMGarbee @SashaR Yea you may need to make sure they have access to the audio files. If they aren't embedded in the slides.
7:13:56 PMGWG Do you know which famous comedian wrote a lot of the jokes in Blazing Saddles, but wasn't allowed to play the Sheriff?
7:14:51 PMTheFu Richard Pryor?
7:15:08 PMTheFu Or was he too young?
7:15:31 PMbp9 @MarshMan Thanks. The closest country to that point is the country that is furthest away from Barrie.
7:15:34 PMbp9 takes a bow
7:15:35 PMbp9 LOL
7:15:43 PMrob Well Iam 48 so dont think age is the issue SashaR
7:15:51 PMGarbee c'mon Sashsa. You dd'ed your own OS onto a drive to install from.
7:15:59 PMGarbee Who can beat that? (Chatroom shut up.)
7:16:14 PMGWG TheFu: You are correct. He wrote a lot of the Jewish jokes.
7:16:27 PMMarshMan Richard Pryor is correct I believe
7:16:41 PMSolbu RobbieF: It's worse. Some people even still pay for Windows. :-)
7:17:33 PMrob RobbieF well Microsoft are also incororating Linux into Windows
7:18:26 PMMarshMan French Southern and Antarctic Lands @bp9
7:18:50 PMbp9 @MarshMan Goody! Now we can tell @RobbieF LOL
7:19:10 PMMarshMan He's forgotten about it already
7:19:14 PMGWG Ooh...new version of Home Assistant
7:19:29 PMbp9 I know, but at least we remembered 😃
7:19:45 PMSkywriter64 Cieavon Little played the Sheriff
7:19:46 PMMarshMan We have nothing better to do
7:20:16 PMGWG Skywriter64: You are correct. And he did a good job. But Pryor would have done it interestingly as well.
7:20:33 PMMarshMan Interestingly
7:20:39 PMTheFu "Moving"
7:20:40 PMMarshMan Nice word choice
7:20:55 PMGWG TheFu: You liked or disliked Moving?
7:21:17 PMTheFu Liked.
7:21:38 PMGWG TheFu: It was a cute movie
7:21:44 PMTheFu Think there's just 1 R-Pryor movie I didn't enjoy ... Jo-Jo something.
7:21:58 PMGWG Pryor was a classic.
7:22:15 PMMarshMan Jo Jo Dancer
7:22:26 PMGWG Although his collaboration with Gene Wilder was hit and miss sometimes.
7:22:29 PMTheFu Yep.
7:22:46 PMTheFu "See no Evil"
7:23:14 PMrob Yeah we had some idiot put pins into strawberries recently.
7:23:15 PMMarshMan This IS a tech show, right?
7:23:54 PMTheFu The lettuce at the grocery store was labeled here this week with the originating farm in AZ.
7:24:00 PMGWG TheFu: You wouldn't say Stir Crazy?
7:25:19 PMSweSG I'm a horror fan!
7:25:33 PMTheFu The Net?
7:25:57 PMTheFu That was horror ... as a movie.
7:26:11 PMSweSG :P
7:26:52 PMTheFu https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=odroid-xu4-arm&num=1 performance for some diff SBCs
7:26:55 PMSweSG I like old horror movies.
7:26:59 PMGarbee I'm burning a disk.
7:27:02 PMrob Lol RobbieF you just triggered my Google Home
7:27:04 PMMarshMan @RobbieF I thought you wern't supposed to say Alexa?
7:27:07 PMGarbee That's how bad my day has gotten.
7:27:26 PMTheFu Alexa - off
7:27:30 PMbp9 @RobbieF @MarshMan beat me to it 😃
7:27:48 PMSolbu RobbieF, Jeff: It would be nice if one could replace «Ok Google» With «Computer»
7:28:04 PMGarbee You should use something more subtle.
7:28:11 PMGarbee "Alexa, order me a USB Condom"
7:28:15 PMGarbee Just see what shows up.
7:28:35 PMMarshMan Alexa luksdump!
7:29:23 PMbp9 Say "Computer" in a Scottish accent!
7:29:28 PMTheFu MM - I asked it - it heard "what's dump"
7:29:56 PMMarshMan @bp9 aye, computa!!
7:30:05 PMTheFu Alexa doesn't know "bald nerd"
7:30:11 PMbp9 @MarshMan Nice!
7:30:31 PMbp9 "Helooooooooo, computa!" into the mouse
7:31:31 PMMarshMan I'm givin you all I got, Computa!
7:32:27 PMbp9 @Jeff Weston It's a reference to a scene in a Star Trek Movie.
7:32:31 PMSkywriter64 scotty was trying to use a1999 computer
7:32:35 PMSolbu Jeff: it's a scene from Star Trek Voyager, when they go back in time.
7:32:37 PMTheFu Hey!!!!
7:32:46 PMbp9 DOes "Transparent Aluminum" mean anything to you?
7:33:10 PMTheFu You have to type, not talk.
7:33:17 PMbp9 Star Trek: The VOyage Home
7:34:23 PMMarshMan Silence!
7:35:06 PMTheFu Sound Check is a real command? Neat.
7:35:19 PMMarshMan Alexa - format C
7:35:24 PMbp9 Yeah TheFu, you get music LOL!
7:35:38 PMTheFu No, I got "check, 1, 2, 3, check"
7:35:47 PMSolbu MarsMan: You kill mee!? ;-)
7:35:50 PMSweSG :D
7:36:25 PMTheFu Alexa doesn't know how to play music. I don't use external music services, so it can't play NOTHING.
7:37:17 PMSolbu TheFu: Local music is king.
7:37:50 PMbp9 @RobbieF when you said "bp" for the pushups, I thought you were talking to/about me LOL
7:37:59 PMTheFu Pickle Rick!
7:38:08 PMGarbee They want to keep you as a customer @SashaR
7:38:14 PMGarbee And you're paying for that in your membership.
7:38:29 PMTheFu Solbu, but none of the IoT devices know how to play local music, it seems.
7:38:37 PMMarshMan do do do do do do do
7:38:43 PMrob LOL gym is smart trying to keep members coming back
7:39:27 PMMarshMan Alexa is ignint
7:39:32 PMTheFu dah da da da?
7:40:18 PMSolbu Hehehehe
7:40:43 PMSolbu Sashas reaction was awesome. :-)
7:41:06 PMbp9 We shou;d just play that all night LOL
7:41:17 PMMarshMan Alexa is so #ffffff
7:42:28 PMMarshMan Good boy @RobbieF
7:42:33 PMMarshMan No scissors
7:43:15 PMbp9 @RobbieF that looks like a Cardigan, Cardigan, Yeah! 😃
7:43:26 PMMarshMan Yake the manual @Jeff Weston
7:44:45 PMTheFu RTFM Jeff

7:47:46 PMrob https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/495592877733183489/522575311410298880/GoogleHome.jpg
7:49:32 PMTheFu Off, check.
7:52:24 PMrob RobbieF Classic
7:52:46 PMMarshMan Alexa - tell me a FUNNY joke!
7:55:26 PMMarshMan Alexa - what is the answer to life, the universe and everything?
7:55:46 PMSashaR isn't it 42 or something
7:56:04 PMbp9 @SashaR gets the prize
7:56:08 PMMarshMan I want Alexa to tell me
7:56:53 PMMarshMan Jut turn it off
7:56:59 PMMarshMan Don't tell me
7:58:05 PMMarshMan That's like putting the words On and Off on a light switch
7:58:11 PMMarshMan No point
7:58:13 PMrob RobbieF SashaR Jeff Weston https://www.techradar.com/news/google-assistant-will-soon-respond-to-whatever-you-want-to-call-it
7:58:26 PMTheFu IF you have a peach impediment, getting the feedback can be helpful.
7:58:33 PMbp9 Actually @RobbieF it's December 12
7:58:50 PMMarshMan Kripke on BBTheory
8:00:39 PMbp9 Or December 13 in Australia 😃
8:01:54 PMSweSG Same here
8:03:13 PMSweSG Lucia today!
8:08:49 PMrob You also need to remember that Alexa came out 2 years earlier than the Google Home
8:08:51 PMTheFu This reminds me of email commands like pi@hz.com or "I want Sandy"
8:11:31 PMCee_128d Alexa quoted a lower price as it was for the older Gen 2. Google quoted the newer Gen 3
8:12:15 PMTheFu Alexa can make phone calls
8:16:50 PMTheFu ah...
8:17:33 PMMarshMan My wife has one of these
8:17:50 PMMarshMan Ok @MarshMan turn off the lights
8:17:54 PMTheFu I have a Fire tablet. Usually disable Alexa. Might use it for morning news. "Flash Briefing"
8:18:54 PMTheFu Creating a new, unique, Alexa skill is non-trivial.
8:18:56 PMSweSG Sorry but I have to sleep! nn!
8:19:08 PMSashaR :):)
8:19:26 PMrob https://ifttt.com/google_assistant
8:20:18 PMMarshMan @Jeff Weston cancel
8:20:32 PMSashaR It is me 😃 And my awesome dad!
8:20:37 PMMarshMan didn't work
8:20:40 PMCee_128d Until these types of devices allow the user to designate a name of their choice I won't even consider one of them.
8:21:08 PMrob Cee_128d coming out with google
8:21:46 PMrob https://www.techradar.com/news/google-assistant-will-soon-respond-to-whatever-you-want-to-call-it
8:22:08 PMCee_128d Then they'll cancel that option in a year or so like they do with most everything useful Google creates.
8:22:09 PMTheFu I'm anti-google. Been burned with their devices already.
8:23:08 PMMarshMan It is always listening, that's the POINT
8:24:07 PMTheFu Jeff - it is listening for the keyword ... but if it hears anything that sounds like the keyword, it will record and send it off to the cloud for Speech-to-text conversion.
8:24:45 PMTheFu The main diff is that all queries go to Amazon, not to the weather URL/website.
8:25:26 PMTheFu Sasha, what big ears you have?
8:26:27 PMSolbu TheFu: To better to spy on you, my lad.
8:27:02 PMMarshMan @SashaR is always listening
8:28:17 PMTheFu Jeff, Chromecast can be controlled by any local phone too.
8:28:32 PMTheFu So can a roku.
8:29:34 PMTheFu "Death metal"
8:31:28 PMTheFu ICBM addressing - 1 minute delivery.
8:31:46 PMMarshMan Bacon
8:32:24 PMCee_128d It's within a minute of it being packaged. Not within a minute of it being placed.
8:32:51 PMMarshMan Intercontinental Ballistic Missile?
8:33:03 PMTheFu With ICBM addressing, it can be much faster - since anywhere within 50 miles is effectively the same location. ;)
8:34:58 PMrob Now only if Windows would die, that would be a happy day
8:35:29 PMMarshMan Chrome is a resource HOG
8:36:05 PMTheFu Dillo browser FTW, but not if you want security.
8:36:32 PMCee_128d Edge does support Add-Ons/Extensions.
8:36:53 PMTheFu Edge doesn't run on any of my OSes.
8:38:27 PMTheFu Azure cloud is doing well.
8:40:03 PMTheFu What happened to google wave?
8:44:47 PMTheFu Their nuclear power is expected to fail in the next 10 yrs.
8:47:11 PMGWG Star Trek: The Motion Picture
8:47:23 PMGWG Decker
8:47:37 PMCee_128d Star Trek the Movie.
8:48:18 PMTheFu No. Jeff. Just no.
8:49:50 PMSashaR Good night my darling friends 😃
8:50:07 PMTheFu They are likely to send other probes out using ion propulsion or solar sails. Solar sails could get to 0.07c accoding to the math.
8:50:36 PMMarshMan Good night @SashaR . Enjoy the toasty tootsies!
8:51:01 PMbp9 Good night @SashaR -- A fun show, as always!
8:51:32 PMTheFu Alexa on
8:51:57 PMbp9 Great show everyone. Good fun, but I'll never buy one 😃
8:52:58 PMbp9 @RobbieF will be online for a while yet
9:02:43 PMrob hey guys anyone using a windows 10 vm in unraid, cant seem to map a network drive to a share
9:03:11 PMRobbieF Hi @rob sorry, I use unRAID exclusively for storage, not VM's. I have a hypervisor for that.
9:05:56 PMrob do you think that by me using a different username on unraid to windows 10 vm would cause an issue?
9:08:13 PMrob RobbieF ah ok well its not a network issue as Iam able to get feed from cameras in Blur Iris
9:21:50 PMRobbieF Hi @rob I don't think so. Networking in a VM is the same as networking a real machine. If you used different user credentials for the shares, you can connect to those shares by changing the credentials within Windows.
