6:58:13 PMnoeman5 Live from New York (actually Barrie) it's Wednesday night!
6:58:19 PMTheFu Time to get the hurricane tracker out again.
6:59:19 PMSolbu We are Go for launch
7:00:29 PMG_Dog1985_ am working on it Robbief
7:01:22 PMnoeman5 Sounds like you have tribbles in the studio.😁
7:01:40 PMG_Dog1985_ haha
7:01:46 PMSolbu Liftoff.
7:02:29 PMSolbu We have cleared the intro.
7:02:34 PMSolbu :-)
7:02:50 PMSolbu Been watching a Nasa documentary, ;-)
7:03:21 PMTheFu On what, Solbu
7:03:48 PMG_Dog1985_ any good solbu
7:07:46 PMSolbu TheFu: I'm rewatvhing the TV series ««From the earth to the moon» and plan on watching the Movie «Apollo 11» which is created using archival footage..
7:08:09 PMSolbu THe moovie is just released.
7:09:31 PMnoeman5 I'd recommend the Apollo 13 movie with Tom Hanks as well. Very well done and closely follows the real events, not a lot of Hollywood hype.
7:10:32 PMMarshMan Shame so many highly intelligent women do not even try to enter the technical/engineering fields.
7:11:02 PMTheFu Ah ... real-world stuff. I saw Apollo 13 on opening day near JSC. We took the afternoon off from work.
7:11:16 PMSolbu Tom Hanks is the director of the TV series «From the earth to the moon» (from 1998)
7:11:40 PMABQTKY Anoosheh was very fortunate to leave before the revolution. I knew some people who got out in the '80's. Not so good. OTOH, they were all lucky go get out.
7:11:54 PMnoeman5 Anoosha's story sounds familiar. A cousin of mine was way up in Mattel's IT department in the late 60's early 70's, she was the only woman there in IT.
7:12:01 PMTheFu Hanks became a huge NASA fan. Same for the director - I can't remember his name. Opey?
7:12:11 PMSolbu One of the engineers working in the actual mission controll during the apollo program, served as a technical advisor on creating the mission controll set for the series.
7:13:04 PMTheFu Solbu, I worked in the MCC at JSC. Met lots of the famous flight controllers and a few astronauts.
7:13:13 PMnoeman5 TheFu, the director's name is on the tip of my tongue but can't remember it. I can picture his face but not his name.
7:13:21 PMTheFu Red hair.
7:13:21 PMSolbu He said in a documentary 15 years ago that a few times he forgot that it was a repica set, so when shooting was over he whent to the elevator, which was just another non-working prop. ;-)
7:14:05 PMSolbu THe realistic details was so precise that he sometimes forgot it was a replica set.
7:14:10 PMTheFu They've moved all those consoles out of Bldg 30 - over to Space Center Houston. Disney runs it, I think.
7:14:21 PMABQTKY Ron Howard. How can you not know Opie's actual name??
7:14:45 PMTheFu I'm not that old.
7:14:47 PMnoeman5 That's it!
7:15:05 PMABQTKY TheFu - Humbug!
7:15:14 PMTheFu I'll stay off your lawn.
7:15:29 PMABQTKY Be nice, TheFu.
7:15:40 PMTheFu Interesting back story.
7:16:03 PMnoeman5 I've got a dozen old computers, parts, TV's and other electronics, where can I send them to Anoosheh?
7:16:43 PMTheFu Is the company B2C or B2B?
7:17:00 PMTheFu s/B2C/C2B/
7:17:12 PMnoeman5 I misunderstood. I thought she was an electronics recycling company CEO
7:20:51 PMSolbu SashaR: Quesion for Anoosheh: Does the technology involve software, and if so, what operating system does their technology support, and what license is it using.
7:24:31 PMnoeman5 Must be a lot of fun dealing with the EPA 😜
7:26:10 PMABQTKY Anoosheh mentioned heat recovery already, how often can chemical remediation cause 'byproducts' than can be reused or even sold??
7:26:15 PMGopher Need to put the fires in the Amazon at the moment
7:28:14 PMGopher out
7:35:49 PMSolbu SashaR: Turn on your mike.
7:35:58 PMSashaR Thank you!!
7:36:04 PMSolbu :-)
7:36:06 PMSashaR Done!
7:40:32 PMnoeman5 Elevator going down
7:42:07 PMnoeman5 And the never-ending commercials aboutMesothelioma
7:43:59 PMnoeman5 giggling doesn't count as words @SashaR
7:44:57 PMG_Dog1985_ @RobbieF fyi my cancer is in remission
7:45:28 PMnoeman5 Congratulations @GDog1985 !
7:45:41 PMABQTKY Excellent word, 'remission!!'
7:48:03 PMTheFu Robbie, that's the Feds. States and cities are different.
7:49:12 PMTheFu I think there is a US Federal law that say you can't help people break the law, so anyone paying is technically breaking that law.
7:49:40 PMSweSG YetiWizard: Do you like AIMP? I'm missing AIMP when running Linux. The only program I miss from Windows: / I have a lot of music on files. I use cmus in Linux. Rhythmbox too. Not as good as AIMP.
7:50:02 PMTheFu I use cmus and Clementine.
7:50:16 PMSweSG Ok
7:50:50 PMYetiWizard I love it, yea it's a shame that there's not a Linux version. Did you try running it with Wine?
7:51:19 PMTheFu And audio files are accessible through a DLNA server, so any controller or renderer for DLNA works.
7:51:19 PMYetiWizard I wonder how the experience would be and how it would perform. I use it on Android too.
7:52:13 PMSweSG yeah
7:52:18 PMTheFu "Pulled", versioned, backups not using any NFS or CIFS or other network file sharing storage solution.
7:53:35 PMTheFu Clients don't have any access to the backups.
7:54:16 PMnoeman5 I hope my store doesn't have this problem. I work at Target and our store is just now getting solar panels installed.
7:54:40 PMnoeman5 7 stores out of how many?
7:55:13 PMnoeman5 I think it's the number 7 to blame. Remember the Samsung Galaxy Note 7?
7:55:31 PMMarshMan The burning question @RobbieF ?
7:55:41 PMSolbu Hehe
7:55:54 PMYetiWizard How does DLNA help me if I want to use a particular player on Linux?
7:55:56 PMnoeman5 @MarshMan , that's punny
7:56:12 PMMarshMan He’s on fire!
7:56:43 PMTheFu Any bad installation of electrical equipment can cause a fire.
7:57:50 PMMarshMan Wind power, they make chopped liver out of birds.
7:57:53 PMnoeman5 I have a lot of solar flashlights, panels for recharging my electronics while camping, solar trickle chargers for my vehicles, etc.
7:58:35 PMTheFu Lots-o-players support DLNA.
7:59:01 PMCee_128d Instead reading the headlines of the article, read the actual article. It's explains how many stores and also what the problems were that the installers made. It's actually a LOT worse than you are making it out.
7:59:33 PMnoeman5
8:00:06 PMCee_128d 240 stores have the solar panels.
8:00:18 PMTheFu Cee_128d, I would expect Walmart to run a data-driven business more than Tesla.
8:01:06 PMTheFu Tesla just seems like daily fire-drill-land to me.
8:01:57 PMCee_128d Tesla is definitely a dumpster fire. Look at how many Tesla cars have spontaneously combusted over the past few years.
8:02:48 PMnoeman5 live stream died there for a moment
8:02:57 PMSolbu Here too.
8:04:06 PMYetiWizard That's why we must battle against companies with their microtransactions.
8:04:24 PMYetiWizard They know that it's that easy
8:04:34 PMYetiWizard And make it addictive on purpose
8:05:42 PMYetiWizard And it ruines the games cause the devs focus on the profit from these transactions
8:06:34 PMnoeman5 They just got torked off
8:07:42 PMnoeman5 Interview is over @RobbieF , you can look like a hobo again.
8:07:54 PMTheFu Worked at a company that picked a great name for their software product before searching for it online. Turned out another company less than 1 mile away had been using it for a few yrs.
8:08:03 PMRonnicat It actually died twice
8:08:20 PMTheFu Didn't notice any stream issues since the interview.
8:08:51 PMnoeman5 Once in the interview and once later, just a few minutes ago.
8:09:07 PMnoeman5 Now we can talk bad about @RobbieF
8:09:17 PMYetiWizard Funny the stream died for me too for a couple secs
8:09:25 PMG_Dog1985_ wow
8:10:42 PMTheFu Go ROBBIE!
8:11:16 PMnoeman5 I think TheFu warned you about that earlier
8:11:17 PMMarshMan Epic fail!
8:11:18 PMTheFu I tried and failed to get 'weather' working about a yr ago.
8:11:22 PMSolbu YES! :-)
8:11:27 PMYetiWizard Lmao
8:11:34 PMG_Dog1985_ lol'
8:11:41 PMTheFu CLI rocks!
8:11:45 PMRonnicat Lol
8:11:49 PMnoeman5 I bet that doesn't survive the edits
8:11:55 PMTheFu cmus people understand completely.
8:11:56 PMG_Dog1985_ thatwas funny
8:11:58 PMMarshMan Keep laughing @SashaR , well deserved
8:13:13 PMTheFu I'm only seeing funky characters. What's with that?
8:13:23 PMTheFu â ââââââââââââââ
8:14:18 PMTheFu │⛅️ ⛅️ ⛅️ ⛅️ ⛅️ ⛅️ ⛅️ ⛅️ ⛅️ ☀️ ☀️ ☀️ ☀️
8:14:57 PMRonnicat A must try
8:15:45 PMnoeman5 Dumb question ahead, what is curl?
8:16:06 PMTheFu sorta like wget.
8:16:17 PMSashaR not a dumb question
8:16:22 PMnoeman5 thanks TheFu
8:16:23 PMTheFu or lynx
8:17:56 PMGWG Logitech c920, or 930e? Thoughts?
8:18:00 PMYetiWizard °C master race
8:18:56 PMnoeman5 Already a patron
8:19:09 PMGWG Playing bingo
8:19:39 PMTheFu I4
8:20:17 PMMarshMan Not good night
8:20:25 PMGWG B4, not I4
8:20:34 PMnoeman5 Slap my wrist, I bought some computer parts recently on eBay and Newegg, but didn't go through the partner page link. ☹
8:20:37 PMTheFu G6
8:21:16 PMMarshMan Slap @noeman5
8:22:06 PMRobbieF Hi all!
8:22:12 PMTheFu I love these sorts of terminal solutions!
8:22:16 PMSashaR Wowsers... does time ever fly!
8:22:24 PMG_Dog1985_ yep
8:22:37 PMYetiWizard Any recommendations for Windows?
8:22:42 PMnoeman5 Good night @SashaR
8:22:52 PMTheFu Sasha - try out Lynx if you want to see the internet fly!
8:22:56 PMnoeman5 and you @RobbieF
8:22:58 PMRonnicat Good night
8:23:07 PMSashaR Goodnight my darlings!!!
8:23:14 PMYetiWizard I used Python to extract data from pages and display it in cmd
8:23:28 PMYetiWizard Good night 😀
8:23:45 PMSweSG Good night all!
8:23:48 PMMarshMan TTFN!
8:24:11 PMnoeman5 Off to the gym, g'night all!
8:59:39 PMRobbieF I all
8:59:47 PMRobbieF Hi all
9:05:43 PMGWG Logitech c920, or 930e? Thoughts?
9:05:54 PMGWG Hi Robbie
9:10:52 PMRobbieF c920
9:11:24 PMRobbieF unless for some reason you need the wider angle lens
9:11:38 PMRobbieF but if shooting normal view, the C920 will give better results.
9:12:33 PMGWG I am doing a conference room, so I would
9:13:02 PMRobbieF Then the C930e may be more suited if you want to shoot the whole room.
9:13:54 PMGWG That and an Android TV box will get me a conference call system
9:14:25 PMRobbieF Nice!
9:14:53 PMGWG I tested it and hosted a Zoom meeting
9:15:11 PMGWG Got 2 people to help
9:15:40 PMRobbieF Awesome. We used Zoom tonight for our interview. Worked very well, save a few blips.
9:15:46 PMRobbieF Better than Skype by a long shot.
9:16:29 PMGWG We've been using it for the last few events for remote participation
9:17:09 PMRobbieF I'm actually surprised I didn't try it sooner. I guess I thought it was 100% $$.
9:17:16 PMRobbieF Didn't realize there was a free version that would suit our needs.
9:18:43 PMGWG Isn't it free for two people?
9:19:09 PMGWG Either way, conference has a paid account
9:20:02 PMRobbieF Yep. Free for 1-on-1 interviews.
