| 6:58:24 PM | Solbu | Jeff, yess, Hissing sounds when he's talking.
|
| 6:58:41 PM | Solbu | Jeff: But if he have a faulty voice… ;-)
|
| 6:59:01 PM | Solbu | RobbieF: Still noise.
|
| 6:59:04 PM | MarshMan | It's ALWAYS @Jeff Weston fault
|
| 6:59:13 PM | MarshMan | 😛
|
| 6:59:22 PM | MarshMan | All sound good
|
| 6:59:36 PM | MarshMan | But I have no headphones
|
| 7:00:23 PM | Solbu | MarshMan: but I have headphones, and hear every defect excellent. :-)
|
| 7:00:29 PM | GWG | Are you trying to echo?
|
| 7:00:29 PM | MarshMan | There was echo briefly
|
| 7:00:54 PM | Solbu | Sahsa: Correct. I'm a sound engineer at my church.
|
| 7:00:55 PM | MarshMan | I know Solbu wears precision headphones
|
| 7:01:53 PM | MarshMan | @SashaR you missed it
|
| 7:01:56 PM | GWG | Now, for the latest game show, with host Robbie Ferguson...Better know your audience.
|
| 7:01:59 PM | MarshMan | it was last week
|
| 7:02:13 PM | Solbu | Robbie: But the noice is bearable. Nothing that varants delaying to much to fix.
|
| 7:02:21 PM | GWG | In the first round, RobbieF will quiz SashaR on trivia about audience members.
|
| 7:02:23 PM | MarshMan | Thank you @SashaR
|
| 7:02:56 PM | GWG | No one remembers my birthday
|
| 7:03:53 PM | GWG | Note to self: Schedule visit to Canada in Summer, Not Winter
|
| 7:04:08 PM | GWG | I got hail last week
|
| 7:05:17 PM | Skywriter64 | hi from Brooklyn NY
|
| 7:05:34 PM | GWG | Ah, Brooklyn
|
| 7:05:51 PM | ConligWX | Hey Guys!
|
| 7:06:27 PM | Skywriter64 | WOW I had to wait about 10 minutes to sign in
|
| 7:06:28 PM | GWG | I thought he was down on Pis
|
| 7:07:27 PM | GWG | I thought he wanted an Alpha Pi
|
| 7:07:46 PM | TheFu | AtomicPi
|
| 7:07:48 PM | GWG | Now I have Simon and Garfunkel's The Boxer in my head
|
| 7:07:55 PM | GWG | Atomic, Alpha, Alpine.
|
| 7:07:57 PM | GWG | It had an A
|
| 7:08:14 PM | MarshMan | I have it on order TheFu
|
| 7:08:28 PM | MarshMan | 🔔 🔔
|
| 7:08:33 PM | TheFu | Intel/Atom based.
|
| 7:08:36 PM | TheFu | Cheap.
|
| 7:08:50 PM | MarshMan | Preloaded with Linux
|
| 7:08:57 PM | Solbu | I switched to a non-wireless headphones using a cable connection – to rule out interference from the wireless transmission, and now I hear that Sasha also have the hizzing noise. But Jeff is crystal clear.
|
| 7:09:13 PM | Solbu | So, something to debug after the show.
|
| 7:09:16 PM | ConligWX | sound is fine here
|
| 7:10:01 PM | TheFu | Jeff - throw that awy!
|
| 7:10:02 PM | MarshMan | Read the instructions Jeff
|
| 7:10:11 PM | ConligWX | RTFM
|
| 7:10:41 PM | GWG | TheFu: Waiting for the power board to be on Amazon
|
| 7:10:48 PM | ConligWX | looks like the Amazon FireTV from a few years back
|
| 7:11:15 PM | GWG | Next time, I want him to stage a dramatic reading of the warranty card
|
| 7:11:23 PM | TheFu | GWG - I'm too dumb to figure out the AtomicPi power, so I'll be waiting for a "kit"
|
| 7:11:25 PM | ConligWX | and T&Cs
|
| 7:11:29 PM | Solbu | ConligWX: I remember someone mentioning sometime ago something that had instructions on how to open the box. The instructions where placed … inside the box. ;-)
|
| 7:11:33 PM | SashaR | hahaha... he actually would do that!
|
| 7:12:28 PM | TheFu | What did Jeff unbox? Link?
|
| 7:12:57 PM | ConligWX | Robbie - URL to this box?
|
| 7:13:20 PM | SashaR | cat5.tv/android
|
| 7:14:41 PM | TheFu | Link doesn't seem live. Will it run Linux instead for the Android haters?
|
| 7:16:06 PM | Solbu | The Link is dead. Long live the Link
|
| 7:16:47 PM | ConligWX | anyone have a URL for one of these android boxes?
|
| 7:17:56 PM | GWG | I have a Roku. I'm fine for now.
|
| 7:18:40 PM | Solbu | Sasha: I didn't try to load the link, I was just poking fun at TheFu, that said it was not live. :-)
|
| 7:19:56 PM | TheFu | To me, Roku is a solution for a different problem. Roku for DRM'd streaming. Something like this for everything else - content at home.
|
| 7:19:57 PM | ConligWX | is this box the : QINTAIX Q9S PRO model?
|
| 7:20:30 PM | GWG | SashaR...poke
|
| 7:20:51 PM | GWG | TheFu: I have a MythTV box at home. I keep the Roku in my suitcase
|
| 7:20:52 PM | MarshMan | Only the year is correct
|
| 7:21:09 PM | GWG | By the way, that is GMT
|
| 7:22:08 PM | Solbu | Sasha: Yu should have it boot up with the wrong, default date, to show that it updates the date automatically.
|
| 7:22:08 PM | ABQTKY | MarshMan D/M/Y What's the problem with the date?? 8-)
|
| 7:22:09 PM | TheFu | 'w' is silent, but included in the spelling, yes?
|
| 7:22:09 PM | ConligWX | Greenwich is pronounces "grenich"
|
| 7:22:27 PM | ameridroid | Unfortunately, I won't be able to join you all last night. Travelling to the San Francisco airport (3 hour drive each way).
|
| 7:22:33 PM | GWG | You are correct.
|
| 7:22:47 PM | MarshMan | I figured that out ABQTKY
|
| 7:22:49 PM | GWG | I feel like we should due a mispronunciation retrospective
|
| 7:23:14 PM | MarshMan | Pulled my comment
|
| 7:23:35 PM | TheFu | Android = Java = Slow, usually.
|
| 7:23:52 PM | ABQTKY | MarshMan, yeah, but Trailways might have a small diesel exhaust leak. That could, well, you know.
|
| 7:24:16 PM | MarshMan | Small???
|
| 7:24:26 PM | ameridroid | I meant I won't be able to join you all tonight.
|
| 7:24:38 PM | ABQTKY | MarshMan or a few minutes in the Lincoln Tunnel.
|
| 7:24:56 PM | MarshMan | Always fun
|
| 7:25:04 PM | GWG | Google Play is the App Store
|
| 7:27:21 PM | ConligWX | dont press the red button!
|
| 7:28:26 PM | MarshMan | Like kids in a candy store
|
| 7:28:28 PM | GWG | You've launched the missiles....
|
| 7:28:53 PM | Dennis_Kelley | I lost internet connection most of the show!
|
| 7:29:01 PM | ABQTKY | MarshMan, yeah, and they don't even HAVE any tunnels in Barrie.
|
| 7:29:04 PM | TheFu | BT and security? Really?
|
| 7:29:40 PM | GWG | Security?
|
| 7:29:53 PM | GWG | I don't see the point of security on an Android device
|
| 7:30:26 PM | TheFu | Not all Android devices are tied to Google, where privacy is an issue.
|
| 7:30:51 PM | GWG | I meant, I don't see the point of ESET
|
| 7:30:56 PM | GWG | Not security in general
|
| 7:31:05 PM | ConligWX | youtube guys, why not watch yourselves!
|
| 7:32:49 PM | ConligWX | creepy
|
| 7:34:01 PM | TheFu | stuttering stream ... go for 320p!
|
| 7:34:14 PM | ConligWX | it just needs more fuel on the fire!
|
| 7:35:21 PM | Solbu | TheFu: I thought it was just me… as usual. heh. :-)
|
| 7:36:39 PM | GWG | Our top story today, after a disappointing summer, Humpty Dumpty has a great fall.
|
| 7:36:43 PM | ConligWX | have you done this before :)
|
| 7:37:33 PM | TheFu | Sasha - march in place to get that count up!
|
| 7:39:09 PM | ConligWX | Elon = Psychopath
|
| 7:39:11 PM | TheFu | Musk needs a brain - disconnect - to keyboard, the SEC says.
|
| 7:39:29 PM | Solbu | GWG: Heh. :-)
|
| 7:39:49 PM | GWG | I wonder if F30 is on the list
|
| 7:40:43 PM | TheFu | Canonical will let you pay them for 14.04 for 5 more years - total 10 yrs.
|
| 7:41:32 PM | TheFu | If it ain't broke and isn't internet-facting, don't break it.
|
| 7:42:25 PM | Solbu | Some POS terminals still rely on MS-DOS
|
| 7:42:45 PM | TheFu | My first job was coding for 20+ yr old systems.
|
| 7:42:56 PM | ConligWX | Bring back OS2 Warp!
|
| 7:43:20 PM | BobK54 | a huge company I used to work for held onto IE6 WAY too long due to those app hooks issues
|
| 7:43:39 PM | TheFu | Warp never left! MVS on a card still uses it to manage the mainframe I/O cards.
|
| 7:43:43 PM | GWG | In school, I used to have a job of maintaining a lab full of PS/2s with Microchannel Architecture
|
| 7:45:54 PM | ConligWX | The machines are taking your jobs...
|
| 7:46:01 PM | ConligWX | Terminators
|
| 7:46:16 PM | ConligWX | AI Terminators
|
| 7:46:33 PM | GWG | ConligWX: I've been trying to replace some of the people in my office with robots.
|
| 7:46:37 PM | GWG | The robots don't want the job
|
| 7:46:38 PM | BobK54 | ha! sounds like a Jack Welch rule. Fire the lowest 10%. Helped GE, right: NOT
|
| 7:47:06 PM | TheFu | GE fired 10% of their workforce under Welch every year, following 6-Sigma processes.
|
| 7:47:15 PM | TheFu | Exactly Bobk
|
| 7:47:39 PM | ConligWX | Sasha, what model are the AI Robots? T1000's
|
| 7:48:26 PM | GWG | I wish it had. I own GE stock
|
| 7:50:01 PM | BobK54 | from a social angle: I did a warehouse job at "Christmas peak" about 10 years ago. 350+ were hired. When we got to the end of the 6 week peak period there were SIXTEEN of us left. all the others couldnt cut it or quit due to production pace required. Funny angle: ALL of the sixteen left were older than 50
|
| 7:50:02 PM | GWG | RobbieF, reminds me of my place of business. They had to force me to take sick time to avoid getting others sick
|
| 7:50:04 PM | MarshMan | The color of @Jeff Weston face and beard are beginning to match
|
| 7:50:29 PM | Dennis_Kelley | @Jeff Weston is silent!
|
| 7:50:30 PM | Solbu | Best example I know of old systems still running was a school distric in the US where a school district used Old Commodore Amga 2000 systems to wirelessly control Air condition units in 19 of their public schools. It was scheduled for replacement in 2017 or 2018.
|
| 7:50:40 PM | Solbu | http://www.generationamiga.com/2017/04/05/amiga-2000-still-controls-grps-heat-and-ac/
|
| 7:50:46 PM | GWG | People where I work think they can
|
| 7:51:58 PM | TheFu | My productivity will be a little lower for a few weeks after a death in the family. Sorry.
|
| 7:52:13 PM | MarshMan | If you have a personality conflict with a robot, who is at fault?
|
| 7:52:44 PM | Solbu | I agree with Jeff. THis is not suitable for a computer to decide.
|
| 7:52:49 PM | ConligWX | he only overides if you pay him
|
| 7:53:54 PM | TheFu | Jeff, how is your job performance measured, constantly?
|
| 7:54:15 PM | ConligWX | imagine you have a bot there Robbie, and it fires you for drinking your coffee whilst talking to us
|
| 7:54:43 PM | UğurABA | Hello everyone, i miss the episode 😦
|
| 7:54:51 PM | MarshMan | I lost two good people because my manager had personal issues with them
|
| 7:54:58 PM | MarshMan | AI RULES!!
|
| 7:55:08 PM | Dennis_Kelley | hello @UğurABA
|
| 7:55:10 PM | SashaR | I agree @MarshMan
|
| 7:55:19 PM | UğurABA | @Dennis_Kelley hello
|
| 7:55:49 PM | GWG | Amen RobbieF. And saying that as a former Union member who believes in unions
|
| 7:56:17 PM | UğurABA | i will watch episode tomorrow 😃 see you all guys.
|
| 7:56:27 PM | ConligWX | l8r guys!
|
| 7:58:16 PM | GWG | Give me a nice Mame emulator anyday
|
| 7:58:24 PM | GWG | I built one last week for two players with my nephews.
|
| 7:58:35 PM | GWG | I got to practice my Mortal Kombat
|
| 7:59:18 PM | Dennis_Kelley | @Jeff Weston your coffee mug looks hugh!
|
| 7:59:34 PM | GWG | Bigger than Ajit Pai's?
|
| 7:59:58 PM | Dennis_Kelley | yes
|
| 8:00:39 PM | Dennis_Kelley | never
|
| 8:01:42 PM | Dennis_Kelley | i could use a beer!
|
| 8:02:14 PM | GWG | So if you can't beat them, join them?
|
| 8:03:05 PM | Dennis_Kelley | a nice smooth whisky flayvored beer
|
| 8:03:13 PM | GWG | This would make for a great sci-fi novel though
|
| 8:03:20 PM | GWG | 10% is a myth
|
| 8:03:26 PM | Dennis_Kelley | *Flavored
|
| 8:03:45 PM | TheFu | _Lucy_?
|
| 8:04:19 PM | TheFu | Sasha needs a babelfish.
|
| 8:04:48 PM | BobK54 | jeff is quietly fuming....
|
| 8:04:51 PM | Solbu | Jeff: Something like this? ;-) https://www.solbu.net/bilder/coffee-iv.jpg
|
| 8:04:52 PM | BobK54 | 😃
|
| 8:05:15 PM | GWG | TheFu, I need a strong Brownian motion producer to stick my atomic vector plotter into
|
| 8:05:53 PM | TheFu | Amazon/youtube has H+ - about 3 hrs of a show about exactly having an always-on connection.
|
| 8:07:26 PM | TheFu | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVekrZ-H5Pc .. think that's ep 1 of 48.
|
| 8:17:55 PM | TheFu | Too fast!
|
| 8:18:19 PM | Dennis_Kelley | had a great debate tonight also
|
| 8:20:00 PM | TheFu | Solbu, know of a Linux backup tool that handles sparse files correctly?
|
| 8:20:20 PM | Solbu | I use rsync for all my backus.
|
| 8:20:25 PM | Solbu | *backups
|
| 8:20:57 PM | TheFu | rsync has the -S switch, but I need easy versioning. Been using rdiff-backup for about 10 yrs.
|
| 8:21:38 PM | TheFu | It doesn't. Neither does duplicity (or any related tools). :(
|
| 8:22:20 PM | Solbu | At work we use syncthing to sycronize to an external server and my main home computer.
|
| 8:22:23 PM | TheFu | Had a 2.5MB sparse file expand to 50GB this week - moved to a new Zimbra version that uses sparse for the LDAP DB.
|
| 8:22:55 PM | TheFu | For high-risk systems, we need 180 days of versioned backups.
|
| 9:01:49 PM | RobbieF | Well, the laptop is indeed dead.
|
| 9:02:04 PM | RobbieF | Re-seated the RAM just to be sure. Even pulled the bios battery just to rule that out.
|
| 9:02:11 PM | RobbieF | Won't post. Can't even get into the BIOS.
|
