7:01:02 PMGWG Solbu: I have jetlag though
7:01:28 PMSolbu And we have lift off.
7:01:34 PMSolbu Good thrust.
7:02:14 PMSolbu Aand, the onscreen discord is frozen.
7:03:02 PMKC0WQH Were all riveted by the show :/
7:03:47 PMKC0WQH Oh I see what you are saying
7:04:43 PMSolbu At least, all viewers get to see that we have lift off, and what the codeword is. :-)
7:04:55 PMTheFu_ "bidet"
7:07:17 PMSolbu So it's official. MarshMan is an alien. :-)
7:07:43 PMTheFu_ So much for using the code word as a hint that Discord died.
7:08:53 PMMarshMan Teamviewer did NOT work. On Chrome OS it ONLY works out of the OS not in
7:09:17 PMMarshMan We had to install the Remote Desktop extension
7:09:28 PMTheFu_ talky.io for hassle-free screen sharing, but not remote control.
7:10:44 PMSashaR Thank you Marshman 😃

7:15:02 PMTheFu_ It is a linux virtual machine storage format.
7:15:04 PMABQTKY Well, it PANS, anyway.
7:15:39 PMTheFu_ Nice album
7:15:54 PMMarshMan 👍
7:16:16 PMTheFu_ VH fans rock!
7:17:27 PMGWG There is an outlet mount you can buy
7:19:44 PMTomDeCat nice knife
7:20:07 PMSashaR I feel like this is one of the things I'm going to end up buying one of these 😃
7:20:23 PMTomDeCat that thing is huge
7:20:56 PMGWG I have 10 Wyze cams
7:21:20 PMABQTKY Pan, no tilt or actual zoom.
7:21:56 PMSashaR It does seem like something everyone should have!
7:23:26 PMGWG I am hoping they get RTSP soon
7:23:39 PMTheFu_ George Jetson should be afraid, Sasha!
7:23:41 PMTomDeCat practical use?
7:26:45 PMTomDeCat getting power to the device is an issue
7:26:59 PMGWG I have ten because my mother uses them to watch my grandmother
7:27:06 PMGWG I set them all up for her
7:27:35 PMTheFu_ Granny-cam
7:27:50 PMSashaR I was thinking how this could help us with Dave's dad! He lives alone so far away!
7:28:26 PMTheFu_ Might want a GPS enabled fitness tracker for Grandpa.
7:29:25 PMTheFu_ Jeff - no garage up there?
7:30:13 PMTheFu_ ;) ... I was wondering.
7:30:23 PMSolbu Hehe
7:31:52 PMTheFu_ Gotta love sending video to the cloud. Must be very secure!
7:31:53 PMSolbu Jeff, RobbieF: Need a bigger studio? The Chrysler building is for sale. :-)
7:32:17 PMGWG TheFu_: You can wipe the firmware and replace it
7:33:38 PMTheFu_ GWG - did you do that?
7:33:50 PMMarshMan I see Robby!
7:34:03 PMKC0WQH no
7:34:05 PMSolbu No
7:34:17 PMGWG TheFu_: Yes, but it was annoyingly buggy. I'm waiting for the official RTSP update
7:35:15 PMKC0WQH I love that handle
7:35:29 PMTheFu_ Capitain?
7:48:07 PMMarshMan 🤖
7:48:56 PMSolbu Hi Bender. :-)
7:49:03 PMSashaR This is so neat!
7:50:42 PMMarshMan :clapper
7:51:28 PMMarshMan 🎬
8:02:14 PMTheFu_ A good idea can happen at different companies. The first to get the patent wins, usually.
8:05:07 PMTheFu_ Writing a patent is an exercise in using as broad wording for the idea as you can get away with, but just specific enough to gain patent approval.
8:06:04 PMTheFu_ Often, yes.
8:07:16 PMTheFu_ There is a standard that the idea cannot be obvious to someone with expertise in the specific area, but that seems to fail at the patent office.
8:08:09 PMTheFu_ Worked at a place that added "for MP3 audio" to as many existing patents as they could. Thus extending and transferring MP3 rights to that company.
8:08:24 PMTheFu_ Sneaky, but legal.
8:10:59 PMTheFu_ Jeff - use The Gimp. ;)
8:13:04 PMTheFu_ Same happened with cellular phones became a thing.
8:13:23 PMMarshMan Win updates- I bit my tongue so hard I think it's bleeding
8:15:11 PMSolbu My last Windows update was in 2007, on Windows 2000 Pro. I rejected the activation scheme. MS had no business who I was and whether I used their system.
8:15:28 PMSolbu … so i stayed on w2k.
8:16:25 PMSolbu But on january 28, 2008 the windows harddrive crashed. So i replaced the drive and installed Mandriva Linux on the system, whch I used on my other systems anyway.
8:17:03 PMMarshMan Or their GPS directions
8:18:02 PMTheFu_ Conference software controllers can mute specific people. That' been a thing for a long time.
8:27:37 PMSashaR What a fun time 😃
8:27:47 PMSashaR Good night all y'all!!!
8:27:54 PMstormchaser3000 I always seem to miss the show these days 😦

8:29:42 PMSolbu Jeff: Yea. A weekly meeting like this would be just great.
8:29:45 PMSolbu :-)
