jcastrowell, thanks to you guys I ordered an Amazon Echo15:00
jcastroand now my wife is making fun of me15:00
jcastromrgoodcat: I'm going to get the puck one too, but you need an echo to order the smaller one15:01
mrgoodcatno you don't15:01
mrgoodcatif you open the amazon shopping app and click on the microphone15:02
mrgoodcatand say "add echo dot to shopping cart"15:02
mrgoodcatit works15:02
jcastrohah seriously15:02
mrgoodcatapparently that uses the alexa voice service15:02
jcastrowell, either way, both are back ordered15:02
mrgoodcatwhich is the only requirement15:02
jcastrothey don't even tell me when I'm getting it15:03
mrgoodcatthat's too bad15:03
jcastroyeah, they must be selling a bunch15:03
mrgoodcatunfortunately i want so many things that i don't need15:03
mrgoodcatits low on the list15:03
mrgoodcatrecord player is higher priority15:03
jcastroactually, I just got an update, march 28th, I ordered it on the 9th15:03
mrgoodcatthat's not bad15:03
jcastroI saw a video of a dude using voice control to watch plex via alexa and I was like. sold.15:04
rick_h__lol15:05
jcastro"alexa play The Matrix on plex" is just too good to pass up.15:06
jcastrobut, 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 together15:07
jcastroso 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
jcastroanyway I didn't want this thing until you people started talking about it15:09
jcastroand then I spent like 3 hours that night investigating all the cool shit people are doing with it15:09
jcastroand 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
cmaloneymrgoodcat: Record Player?15:10
cmaloneyjcastro: But this clock is on the internet!15:10
jrwrenhahahaha, 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^ +115:12
jcastroI can't wait until I have to get a ladder to change this dumb analog clock we have in the kitchen15:13
jcastroI am waiting for this weekend so I can be like "THIS IS WHY WE NEED ALEXA"15:13
cmaloneyjcastro: You didn't get an atomic clock for there?15:14
jcastrochanging a clock by hand, like a savage15:14
jcastrono it's some artsy clock thing15:14
cmaloneyJoDee likes to make fun of me and my OCD with non-auto-setting clocks15:14
jrwrenjcastro: hire that out. Get the maid to do it.15:14
cmaloneyIt's 2016. We shouldn't have to set clocks by hand15:14
jrwreni'm pretty sure other than clocks and computers all of our clocks are manual.15:15
cmaloneyThe only clocks that are manual are the ones for which I had no say in their purchase. :)15:15
cmaloneyeg: the Coffee Pot, the stove, the microwave15:15
cmaloneyThe Weather Radio15:15
jcastroI hate clocks on appliances15:16
jcastroI have one on my mic and my normal oven15:16
jcastroand you can't turn them off15:16
jcastroand they skew15:16
cmaloneyYeah15:16
jcastroso basically, I have two wrong clocks for no reason15:16
jrwren90's: but a clock on everything!15:16
jrwrenjust set them each to 10m fast and you'll never be late again. ;]15:17
cmaloneyjrwren: That shit drives me insane15:18
cmaloneytotal batshit insane15:18
cmaloneymy mom did that with her car clock. I never knew what time it was15:18
cmaloneyworse: they have a Mercury with an analog clock and a digital clock (because old people)15:19
cmaloneyand they're both set one hour apart15:19
jrwrenlol15:19
mrgoodcatcmaloney: yes i want a record player15:25
cmaloneymrgoodcat: Why?15:54
cmaloneyhttp://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/direct2dell/b/direct2dell/archive/2016/03/10/expanding-the-dell-portfolio-of-ubuntu-laptops-and-workstations15:54
mrgoodcatcmaloney: 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 have16:04
mrgoodcatthat was longer than i was expecting16:04
jcastroI collect records, but don't listen to them16:05
jcastromostly I hang them up for the art16:05
cmaloneyjcastro: Same16:05
cmaloneyI'll buy the CDs when I can16:05
cmaloneyand use Bandcamp when I can16:05
cmaloneymrgoodcat: I completely understand the reasons you mentioned though16:06
cmaloneyif you gave me some nonsense about sound quality there was going to be a paddlin' though. :)16:06
mrgoodcatlol16:06
mrgoodcatwell of course i need a moon rock needle16:06
cmaloneyWith carefully positioned ferrite stones in the room16:06
cmaloneyaudiophile feng shui16:07
greg-g"I love the hisses and pops"16:07
mrgoodcatthe moonrock needle sketch might be my favorite steve martin standup16:07
jcastrothe last few records I bought come with codes to DL the songs anyway, which is nice16:08
cmaloneyI 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
jcastrothe last Pink Floyd album's vinyl is like, incredible, it's like this deluxe packaging16:08
cmaloneysounded muddy16:08
cmaloneyEndless Eiver?16:08
cmaloneyRiver?16:08
jcastroyeah16:08
cmaloneyJust picked up the DVD / CD of that16:09
cmaloneyThe packaging is worth it alone16:09
cmaloneyNot their best album but definitely a high note16:09
jcastroindeed16:09
cmaloneyand quite melancholy.16:09
jcastrois the DVD just lossless audio or is there video stuff?16:10
jcastroI have a DVD of The Division Bell that has like multichannel lossless audio, it's badass16:11
jcastrobut the video is just like, the song title lol16:12
cmaloneyYeah, same16:12
cmaloneyI don't have multi-channel16:12
cmaloneybut it looks like that's what this is16:12
cmaloneyplus "extras"16:12
mrgoodcatI have an AC/DC DVD with a bunch of concert footage and music videos16:12
jcastroI don't like multichannel for studio stuff, it's kind of gimmicky16:13
jcastrostereo + subs always sounds better to me16:13
jcastrobut for like live recordings and concerts then +1 to the multichannel16:13

cmaloney^ Extras16:15
greg-gjcastro: yeah, I can't think of many situations a studio album would need 7.116:15
cmaloney~40 minutes of video / audio16:15
jcastroI think they're interesting16:16
cmaloneyI think some Wendy Carlos stuff was done in Dolby Surround16:16
jcastrofor shit like Dark Side of the Moon the mix is pretty awesome16:16
jcastroit's just not the same though16:16
cmaloneyso it might be interesting to see some of her stuff on 5.116:16
cmaloneyClassical music in 5.1 might be awesome16:16
cmaloneyjcastro: Do you have a SACD player?16:17
jcastrono16:17
cmaloneyI don't think anyone does. :)16:17
jcastrowell, I think my problem with surround is you don't sit in the middle of the orchestra16:17
cmaloneyI have a shit-ton of SACDs that I'd like to see if they add anything to it16:17
cmaloneyWell, it's not so much "center of orchestra" as it is bunce of the hall16:18
jcastroI've got a few lossless DTS-HD 7.1 and 5.1 samples16:18
jcastrofor audio I mean16:18
cmaloneyright16:18
jcastrohttp://www.soundandvision.com/content/2112-51#tgELtHyiykdiOJmy.9716:18
jrwren+1  I've still never been so impressed with surround that it was a must have for me for music listening.16:18
jcastroI have this16:18
cmaloneyjcastro: Same16:18
cmaloneyWell, DVD version16:19
cmaloneyfuck bluray. :)16:19
