cmaloney | Good morning | 13:26 |
---|---|---|
rick_h_ | morning | 13:27 |
cmaloney | How's the day so far? | 13:27 |
rick_h_ | alive and kicking | 13:28 |
brousch | Hm, apparently nobody has wireless coverage at the Grand Canyon and Death Valley | 13:28 |
brousch | This will be an interesting vacation | 13:28 |
rick_h_ | hmm, imagine that lol | 13:28 |
cmaloney | brousch: I'm sure Verizon has you covered | 13:29 |
rick_h_ | speaking of wireless coverage, got to teach the wife an important phone lesson as her phone was lost/taken at a birthday party yesterday | 13:29 |
cmaloney | with their "Death Valley plan" | 13:29 |
rick_h_ | let's just say she's running with a encrypted device with a pin enabled now | 13:29 |
cmaloney | rick_h_: What the fuck? | 13:29 |
cmaloney | Yeah, pin at least | 13:29 |
cmaloney | Which is partly why I rock an older device. :) | 13:30 |
rick_h_ | yea, she complained that she'd have to unlock it in the car, but now that she's got BT in the car she doesn't | 13:30 |
rick_h_ | oh I bet hers was older than yours | 13:30 |
rick_h_ | it was an old moto mini | 13:30 |
rick_h_ | in a giant otterbox case | 13:30 |
rick_h_ | there was no reason to take it | 13:30 |
cmaloney | Epic 4G Touch. | 13:30 |
rick_h_ | but as a doc she's got a ton of crap on there that makes me :( | 13:30 |
cmaloney | Yeah, likely misplaced. | 13:30 |
cmaloney | Oh noes. | 13:30 |
cmaloney | I'm sure I know the answer, but did she have remote wipe installed? | 13:32 |
cmaloney | or set up rather? | 13:32 |
brousch | Google has remote location on almost every device now. You can find her phone | 13:33 |
mrgoodcat | she shouldn't be using her phone in her car without BT anyways right? :P | 13:33 |
brousch | https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager | 13:34 |
mrgoodcat | actually in troy you can be given a ticket for using your phone in any way | 13:34 |
rick_h_ | brousch: yea, but she never enabled it | 13:34 |
rick_h_ | brousch: she actually made me enable the G+ location tracking on my end, but never did it on her end | 13:34 |
brousch | Seems like it's on by default now | 13:34 |
rick_h_ | cmaloney: no remote wipe, though will be | 13:34 |
cmaloney | Yes Officer I'm using my watch. :) | 13:34 |
rick_h_ | brousch: yea, but not on her old phone | 13:35 |
rick_h_ | it's getting setup differently this time :) | 13:35 |
brousch | Darn | 13:35 |
rick_h_ | she's using my old motox for now | 13:35 |
brousch | Maybe that's why they stole it ;) | 13:36 |
rick_h_ | lol | 13:36 |
rick_h_ | honestly we think it was just kids. Bunch of 3-6yr olds | 13:36 |
brousch | Wat? no Ubu phone for her?! | 13:36 |
rick_h_ | hah, I don't have one of those | 13:36 |
cmaloney | If it's 3-6 y/os it's probably half-way to the Detroit River. | 13:37 |
cmaloney | "Water go down the hoooole" | 13:37 |
rick_h_ | yea, that was my 'joke' that I was told was not very funny | 13:37 |
cmaloney | rick_h_: When you're not in "Freak-out" mode it's pretty funny | 13:38 |
rick_h_ | yea, I guess timing is most of comedy :P | 13:38 |
cmaloney | heh | 13:38 |
cmaloney | "too soon". ;) | 13:38 |
brousch | Which is less evil these days: ATT or VZN? | 13:40 |
rick_h_ | hmm, tough call | 13:41 |
rick_h_ | the thing is that vzw works more places and is faster so I take their evil with my goodies | 13:41 |
rick_h_ | though my phone is on t-mo now | 13:41 |
rick_h_ | but keep my mifi on vzw so it always works | 13:41 |
cmaloney | Yeah, I think it's more a question "who is more evil: Satan or beelzebub" | 13:41 |
rick_h_ | I will say, after I finally found a way to get a person on the phone last night | 13:42 |
rick_h_ | vzw support rocked it out of the park | 13:42 |
rick_h_ | taking a sim card from my mifi, moving her phone number over to that sim, and helping it get setup in my old motox all over the phone in about 15min | 13:42 |
rick_h_ | so from her phone going gone to her getting calls again was around 45min which was sweet | 13:42 |
rick_h_ | <3 sim cards | 13:43 |
cmaloney | rick_h_: That is pretty cool | 13:43 |
cmaloney | Yeah, no kidding | 13:43 |
brousch | Is it a sign of old age if I complain about how all smartphones are gigantic these days? | 14:03 |
jrwren | brousch: vzn is less evil, only because I'm a shareholder :p | 14:14 |
jrwren | brousch: Credo is the ultimate in less evil. | 14:15 |
brousch | I'm sure I'm a shareholder in both of them via my 401k | 14:15 |
jrwren | brousch: its a sign of old age if you do complain about being able to read the disply or press the "buttons" | 14:15 |
brousch | If I buy the same phones and same plans on ATT and VZW, they come out to a less than $50 difference after 2 years. | 14:33 |
cmaloney | brousch: AT&T is pretty much evil incarnate | 14:37 |
cmaloney | brousch: VZW is also evil incarnate but has a better network | 14:37 |
cmaloney | so in your dealings with the devil I'd say VZW is offering a better deal for your souol | 14:38 |
brousch | I love Ting, but Sprint's network is garbage incarnate | 14:38 |
cmaloney | the only reason I'd go with AT&T is if you valie GSM | 14:38 |
cmaloney | They have a GSM option, though it's in beta | 14:38 |
brousch | Do I look like a Communist?! | 14:38 |
cmaloney | brousch: https://ting.com/shop/gsmSIM | 14:39 |
cmaloney | I think they've partnered with T-Mobile | 14:41 |
cmaloney | They're not saying directly bu | 14:43 |
jrwren | no Credo users? | 14:44 |
cmaloney | What is Credo? | 15:06 |
cmaloney | Only other MVNO that I'm aware of is Consumer Wireless (?) and that's because my parents got sucked into that. | 15:07 |
jjesse | wow almost afternoon already | 15:53 |
cmaloney | Yeah, where has the day gone | 16:07 |
greg-g | just started | 16:08 |

jrwren | jjesse: even better! | 16:13 |
cscheib | greetings. For those interested in Puppet config management, I've started a Detroit Puppet User Group. Sorry to spam, just trying to get the word out and didn't make it to the last MUG meeting | 17:31 |
cscheib | jrwren / jcastro: lunch this week? | 17:32 |
jcastro | cscheib, oh cool, for sure, any day but Friday, also I sold my car so I need a ride lol | 17:48 |
cmaloney | jcastro: That doesn't seem sustainable. | 17:49 |
rick_h_ | jcastro: no ride? | 17:49 |
jcastro | I am currently inbetween cars is a better statement | 17:49 |
rick_h_ | ah, gotcha | 17:49 |
rick_h_ | do I know cscheib ? | 17:49 |
jcastro | I mean, we have a car, it's just Jill's | 17:49 |
jcastro | yeah | 17:49 |
rick_h_ | lol | 17:49 |
cscheib | p.s. for the few that may remember me, I used to go by schweeb | 17:49 |
rick_h_ | aaaah | 17:50 |
cmaloney | jcastro: That's your problem. You need to be in the car, not between them | 17:50 |
jcastro | my lease was up | 17:50 |
cmaloney | jcastro: And they let you out of the dealership without a new one? | 17:50 |
cmaloney | tsk tsk | 17:50 |
cmaloney | bad Salesman | 17:50 |
cmaloney | 40 lashes. | 17:50 |
jcastro | oh he wanted to sell me a new one | 17:50 |
cmaloney | ;) | 17:50 |
jcastro | but I am spending the money on the basement | 17:50 |
jcastro | also, they don't have $5k miles/year leases, heh | 17:51 |
cmaloney | yeah, I think you need a go-cart. | 17:51 |
jcastro | I kind of want a moped, but winter | 17:51 |
cmaloney | http://ezgo.com/ | 17:51 |
rick_h_ | lol | 17:52 |
cmaloney | http://ezgo.com/Home/Personal/Terrain.aspx | 17:52 |
cmaloney | I think that might make it over a light dusting. | 17:52 |
jcastro | the few times I do need a ride, Uber/Lyft are here | 17:52 |
cscheib | jcastro: which # do you use these days? I have one ending in 06 and one ending in 23 | 17:53 |
jcastro | 06 | 17:53 |
jcastro | I will probably get a Fiesta or Jetta or something in the summer | 17:54 |
cmaloney | I have a Jetta | 17:54 |
cmaloney | still have a jetta rather | 17:55 |
cscheib | gf has a Jetta... get the Fiesta | 17:55 |
cmaloney | !!!! | 17:55 |
rick_h_ | lol | 17:55 |
jcastro | <3 jettas tho | 17:55 |
cscheib | maint on teh Jettas is a fucking whore | 17:55 |
cscheib | if you lease and don't go anywhere... whatever... but if you keep your vehicle... | 17:56 |
cmaloney | cscheib: I'm under 40K miles so I hope you're experience is an anomaly. | 17:56 |
rick_h_ | yea, maint on anything like that sucks | 17:56 |
rick_h_ | but you do get some years free :) | 17:56 |
cscheib | they wanted like $400 to replace spark plugs | 17:56 |
rick_h_ | yea, once the warranty is done go elsewhere. | 17:56 |
cmaloney | As long as the transmission doesn't fall off like every single Ford vehicle I've owned... ;) | 17:57 |
cscheib | my Lincolns have been smooth sailing... but, I only keep em util 100k mi | 17:57 |
greg-g | newb | 17:58 |
jcastro | My Ford Ranger was a best | 17:58 |
greg-g | I looooooved my ranger | 17:58 |
jcastro | 125k+ and all I did was put fluids in it | 17:58 |
* rick_h_ hated his ranger | 17:58 | |
greg-g | so sad I hit that deer going 75 | 17:58 |
jcastro | then like all small trucks went extinct at once | 17:58 |
rick_h_ | hah, they're coming back | 17:58 |
greg-g | I kinda want a Nissan Frontier 4-door | 17:58 |
rick_h_ | someone was even saying the canyon's are coming with out inline 4 and 5cyl diesel options soon | 17:59 |
greg-g | small truck with 4-doors is awesome | 17:59 |
jcastro | the canyon isn't small tho | 18:00 |
rick_h_ | big truck with 4 door is awesome :) | 18:00 |
rick_h_ | it's smaller than a 1500 | 18:00 |
rick_h_ | that is today's 'small truck' | 18:00 |
rick_h_ | all the things are so huge now | 18:00 |
jcastro | yeah, like I am saying, small trucks went extinct | 18:00 |
jcastro | which is sad, I kind of want a ranger | 18:01 |
rick_h_ | ugh, hated that thing so much. it couldn't get down a dirt road without getting redirected by every pebble | 18:01 |
cscheib | I think they may be coming out with a new Jeep Comanche | 18:01 |
greg-g | what year? | 18:01 |
jcastro | I live in civilization, where paved roads are a thing | 18:02 |
rick_h_ | greg-g: this was a 90s era...98 or 99? | 18:02 |
rick_h_ | jcastro: :P | 18:02 |
greg-g | rick_h_: same as mine, I thought it was a fun drive | 18:02 |
rick_h_ | greg-g: I turned in that lease and got the outback and thenfell in love | 18:03 |
* greg-g nods | 18:03 | |
rick_h_ | greg-g: so to me that's the thing that got me into something really nice | 18:03 |
gamerchick02 | howdy ubuntu peeps | 23:01 |
