| jcastro | well, thanks to you guys I ordered an Amazon Echo | 15:00 |
| jcastro | and now my wife is making fun of me | 15:00 |
| jcastro | mrgoodcat: I'm going to get the puck one too, but you need an echo to order the smaller one | 15:01 |
| mrgoodcat | no you don't | 15:01 |
| mrgoodcat | if you open the amazon shopping app and click on the microphone | 15:02 |
| mrgoodcat | and say "add echo dot to shopping cart" | 15:02 |
| mrgoodcat | it works | 15:02 |
| jcastro | hah seriously | 15:02 |
| mrgoodcat | apparently that uses the alexa voice service | 15:02 |
| jcastro | well, either way, both are back ordered | 15:02 |
| mrgoodcat | which is the only requirement | 15:02 |
| jcastro | they don't even tell me when I'm getting it | 15:03 |
| mrgoodcat | that's too bad | 15:03 |
| jcastro | yeah, they must be selling a bunch | 15:03 |
| mrgoodcat | unfortunately i want so many things that i don't need | 15:03 |
| mrgoodcat | its low on the list | 15:03 |
| mrgoodcat | record player is higher priority | 15:03 |
| jcastro | actually, I just got an update, march 28th, I ordered it on the 9th | 15:03 |
| mrgoodcat | that's not bad | 15:03 |
| jcastro | I saw a video of a dude using voice control to watch plex via alexa and I was like. sold. | 15:04 |
| rick_h__ | lol | 15:05 |
| jcastro | "alexa play The Matrix on plex" is just too good to pass up. | 15:06 |
| jcastro | but, I already have a smartthings and harmony for the house so I kind of have all the pieces, I just needed something to tie it all together | 15:07 |
| jcastro | so like I'll be able to do "alexa bedtime" and it'll make sure all my lights are off, AV equipment is off, make sure the garage door is closed, etc. | 15:08 |
| jcastro | anyway I didn't want this thing until you people started talking about it | 15:09 |
| jcastro | and then I spent like 3 hours that night investigating all the cool shit people are doing with it | 15:09 |
| jcastro | and now my wife is like "but you have a clock, why do you need a computer to tell you what time it is." | 15:09 |
| cmaloney | mrgoodcat: Record Player? | 15:10 |
| cmaloney | jcastro: But this clock is on the internet! | 15:10 |
| jrwren | hahahaha, that is an excellent response. I'm going to steal it. | 15:11 |
| jrwren | "but you have the sun in the sky, why do you need a wrist watch?" | 15:11 |
| cmaloney | ^ +1 | 15:12 |
| jcastro | I can't wait until I have to get a ladder to change this dumb analog clock we have in the kitchen | 15:13 |
| jcastro | I am waiting for this weekend so I can be like "THIS IS WHY WE NEED ALEXA" | 15:13 |
| cmaloney | jcastro: You didn't get an atomic clock for there? | 15:14 |
| jcastro | changing a clock by hand, like a savage | 15:14 |
| jcastro | no it's some artsy clock thing | 15:14 |
| cmaloney | JoDee likes to make fun of me and my OCD with non-auto-setting clocks | 15:14 |
| jrwren | jcastro: hire that out. Get the maid to do it. | 15:14 |
| cmaloney | It's 2016. We shouldn't have to set clocks by hand | 15:14 |
| jrwren | i'm pretty sure other than clocks and computers all of our clocks are manual. | 15:15 |
| cmaloney | The only clocks that are manual are the ones for which I had no say in their purchase. :) | 15:15 |
| cmaloney | eg: the Coffee Pot, the stove, the microwave | 15:15 |
| cmaloney | The Weather Radio | 15:15 |
| jcastro | I hate clocks on appliances | 15:16 |
| jcastro | I have one on my mic and my normal oven | 15:16 |
| jcastro | and you can't turn them off | 15:16 |
| jcastro | and they skew | 15:16 |
| cmaloney | Yeah | 15:16 |
| jcastro | so basically, I have two wrong clocks for no reason | 15:16 |
| jrwren | 90's: but a clock on everything! | 15:16 |
| jrwren | just set them each to 10m fast and you'll never be late again. ;] | 15:17 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: That shit drives me insane | 15:18 |
| cmaloney | total batshit insane | 15:18 |
| cmaloney | my mom did that with her car clock. I never knew what time it was | 15:18 |
| cmaloney | worse: they have a Mercury with an analog clock and a digital clock (because old people) | 15:19 |
| cmaloney | and they're both set one hour apart | 15:19 |
| jrwren | lol | 15:19 |
| mrgoodcat | cmaloney: yes i want a record player | 15:25 |
| cmaloney | mrgoodcat: Why? | 15:54 |
| cmaloney | http://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/direct2dell/b/direct2dell/archive/2016/03/10/expanding-the-dell-portfolio-of-ubuntu-laptops-and-workstations | 15:54 |
| mrgoodcat | cmaloney: because i'm nostalgic for the feeling of holding music in my hand, because a lot of the smaller artists I listen to are available on vinyl and they get a higher margin of the profit when you buy that than streaming online, because I have always just liked records and I like the idea of collecting more and being able to actually listen to the ones i already have | 16:04 |
| mrgoodcat | that was longer than i was expecting | 16:04 |
| jcastro | I collect records, but don't listen to them | 16:05 |
| jcastro | mostly I hang them up for the art | 16:05 |
| cmaloney | jcastro: Same | 16:05 |
| cmaloney | I'll buy the CDs when I can | 16:05 |
| cmaloney | and use Bandcamp when I can | 16:05 |
| cmaloney | mrgoodcat: I completely understand the reasons you mentioned though | 16:06 |
| cmaloney | if you gave me some nonsense about sound quality there was going to be a paddlin' though. :) | 16:06 |
| mrgoodcat | lol | 16:06 |
| mrgoodcat | well of course i need a moon rock needle | 16:06 |
| cmaloney | With carefully positioned ferrite stones in the room | 16:06 |
| cmaloney | audiophile feng shui | 16:07 |
| greg-g | "I love the hisses and pops" | 16:07 |
| mrgoodcat | the moonrock needle sketch might be my favorite steve martin standup | 16:07 |
| jcastro | the last few records I bought come with codes to DL the songs anyway, which is nice | 16:08 |
| cmaloney | I listened to a vinyl rip of Jesus Jones Liquidizer on Youtube and realized about 30 seconds in "why am I doing this to myself" | 16:08 |
| jcastro | the last Pink Floyd album's vinyl is like, incredible, it's like this deluxe packaging | 16:08 |
| cmaloney | sounded muddy | 16:08 |
| cmaloney | Endless Eiver? | 16:08 |
| cmaloney | River? | 16:08 |
| jcastro | yeah | 16:08 |
| cmaloney | Just picked up the DVD / CD of that | 16:09 |
| cmaloney | The packaging is worth it alone | 16:09 |
| cmaloney | Not their best album but definitely a high note | 16:09 |
| jcastro | indeed | 16:09 |
| cmaloney | and quite melancholy. | 16:09 |
| jcastro | is the DVD just lossless audio or is there video stuff? | 16:10 |
| jcastro | I have a DVD of The Division Bell that has like multichannel lossless audio, it's badass | 16:11 |
| jcastro | but the video is just like, the song title lol | 16:12 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, same | 16:12 |
| cmaloney | I don't have multi-channel | 16:12 |
| cmaloney | but it looks like that's what this is | 16:12 |
| cmaloney | plus "extras" | 16:12 |
| mrgoodcat | I have an AC/DC DVD with a bunch of concert footage and music videos | 16:12 |
| jcastro | I don't like multichannel for studio stuff, it's kind of gimmicky | 16:13 |
| jcastro | stereo + subs always sounds better to me | 16:13 |
| jcastro | but for like live recordings and concerts then +1 to the multichannel | 16:13 |
| cmaloney | https://www.dropbox.com/s/69jcg67o6qc62pc/Screenshot%20from%202016-03-11%2011%3A14%3A29.png?dl=0 | 16:15 |
| cmaloney | ^ Extras | 16:15 |
| greg-g | jcastro: yeah, I can't think of many situations a studio album would need 7.1 | 16:15 |
| cmaloney | ~40 minutes of video / audio | 16:15 |
| jcastro | I think they're interesting | 16:16 |
| cmaloney | I think some Wendy Carlos stuff was done in Dolby Surround | 16:16 |
| jcastro | for shit like Dark Side of the Moon the mix is pretty awesome | 16:16 |
| jcastro | it's just not the same though | 16:16 |
| cmaloney | so it might be interesting to see some of her stuff on 5.1 | 16:16 |
| cmaloney | Classical music in 5.1 might be awesome | 16:16 |
| cmaloney | jcastro: Do you have a SACD player? | 16:17 |
| jcastro | no | 16:17 |
| cmaloney | I don't think anyone does. :) | 16:17 |
| jcastro | well, I think my problem with surround is you don't sit in the middle of the orchestra | 16:17 |
| cmaloney | I have a shit-ton of SACDs that I'd like to see if they add anything to it | 16:17 |
| cmaloney | Well, it's not so much "center of orchestra" as it is bunce of the hall | 16:18 |
| jcastro | I've got a few lossless DTS-HD 7.1 and 5.1 samples | 16:18 |
| jcastro | for audio I mean | 16:18 |
| cmaloney | right | 16:18 |
| jcastro | http://www.soundandvision.com/content/2112-51#tgELtHyiykdiOJmy.97 | 16:18 |
| jrwren | +1 I've still never been so impressed with surround that it was a must have for me for music listening. | 16:18 |
| jcastro | I have this | 16:18 |
| cmaloney | jcastro: Same | 16:18 |
| cmaloney | Well, DVD version | 16:19 |
| cmaloney | fuck bluray. :) | 16:19 |
| jrwren | linux.next is abandoning rpi! http://lwn.net/Articles/679447/ | 17:05 |
| mrgoodcat | i think something like snarky puppy could be cool in surround | 17:45 |
| Scary_Guy | @wolfger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOMX3deeW6Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs9jiXOKNls | 20:24 |
| wolfger | That is so much awesome | 20:24 |
| Scary_Guy | Now I'm watching this :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBjoWMA5d84 | 20:25 |
| jrwren | http://qz.com/637326/amazon-echo-home-alone-with-npr-on-got-confused-and-hijacked-a-thermostat | 21:34 |
| mrgoodcat | jcastro: ordered echo dot | 21:42 |
| mrgoodcat | need to learn to control impulses | 21:42 |
| jcastro | heh | 21:44 |
| cmaloney | hah | 21:45 |
