[13:33] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gnMgmlKi_o [13:33] ^misspent youth [13:44] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGwbF4ieUxU [15:00] well, thanks to you guys I ordered an Amazon Echo [15:00] and now my wife is making fun of me [15:01] mrgoodcat: I'm going to get the puck one too, but you need an echo to order the smaller one [15:01] no you don't [15:02] if you open the amazon shopping app and click on the microphone [15:02] and say "add echo dot to shopping cart" [15:02] it works [15:02] hah seriously [15:02] apparently that uses the alexa voice service [15:02] well, either way, both are back ordered [15:02] which is the only requirement [15:03] they don't even tell me when I'm getting it [15:03] that's too bad [15:03] yeah, they must be selling a bunch [15:03] unfortunately i want so many things that i don't need [15:03] its low on the list [15:03] record player is higher priority [15:03] actually, I just got an update, march 28th, I ordered it on the 9th [15:03] that's not bad [15:04] I saw a video of a dude using voice control to watch plex via alexa and I was like. sold. [15:05] lol [15:06] "alexa play The Matrix on plex" is just too good to pass up. [15:07] 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 [15:08] 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. [15:09] anyway I didn't want this thing until you people started talking about it [15:09] and then I spent like 3 hours that night investigating all the cool shit people are doing with it [15:09] and now my wife is like "but you have a clock, why do you need a computer to tell you what time it is." [15:10] mrgoodcat: Record Player? [15:10] jcastro: But this clock is on the internet! [15:11] hahahaha, that is an excellent response. I'm going to steal it. [15:11] "but you have the sun in the sky, why do you need a wrist watch?" [15:12] ^ +1 [15:13] I can't wait until I have to get a ladder to change this dumb analog clock we have in the kitchen [15:13] I am waiting for this weekend so I can be like "THIS IS WHY WE NEED ALEXA" [15:14] jcastro: You didn't get an atomic clock for there? [15:14] changing a clock by hand, like a savage [15:14] no it's some artsy clock thing [15:14] JoDee likes to make fun of me and my OCD with non-auto-setting clocks [15:14] jcastro: hire that out. Get the maid to do it. [15:14] It's 2016. We shouldn't have to set clocks by hand [15:15] i'm pretty sure other than clocks and computers all of our clocks are manual. [15:15] The only clocks that are manual are the ones for which I had no say in their purchase. :) [15:15] eg: the Coffee Pot, the stove, the microwave [15:15] The Weather Radio [15:16] I hate clocks on appliances [15:16] I have one on my mic and my normal oven [15:16] and you can't turn them off [15:16] and they skew [15:16] Yeah [15:16] so basically, I have two wrong clocks for no reason [15:16] 90's: but a clock on everything! [15:17] just set them each to 10m fast and you'll never be late again. ;] [15:18] jrwren: That shit drives me insane [15:18] total batshit insane [15:18] my mom did that with her car clock. I never knew what time it was [15:19] worse: they have a Mercury with an analog clock and a digital clock (because old people) [15:19] and they're both set one hour apart [15:19] lol [15:25] cmaloney: yes i want a record player [15:54] mrgoodcat: Why? [15:54] http://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/direct2dell/b/direct2dell/archive/2016/03/10/expanding-the-dell-portfolio-of-ubuntu-laptops-and-workstations [16:04] 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] that was longer than i was expecting [16:05] I collect records, but don't listen to them [16:05] mostly I hang them up for the art [16:05] jcastro: Same [16:05] I'll buy the CDs when I can [16:05] and use Bandcamp when I can [16:06] mrgoodcat: I completely understand the reasons you mentioned though [16:06] if you gave me some nonsense about sound quality there was going to be a paddlin' though. :) [16:06] lol [16:06] well of course i need a moon rock needle [16:06] With carefully positioned ferrite stones in the room [16:07] audiophile feng shui [16:07] "I love the hisses and pops" [16:07] the moonrock needle sketch might be my favorite steve martin standup [16:08] the last few records I bought come with codes to DL the songs anyway, which is nice [16:08] 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] the last Pink Floyd album's vinyl is like, incredible, it's like this deluxe packaging [16:08] sounded muddy [16:08] Endless Eiver? [16:08] River? [16:08] yeah [16:09] Just picked up the DVD / CD of that [16:09] The packaging is worth it alone [16:09] Not their best album but definitely a high note [16:09] indeed [16:09] and quite melancholy. [16:10] is the DVD just lossless audio or is there video stuff? [16:11] I have a DVD of The Division Bell that has like multichannel lossless audio, it's badass [16:12] but the video is just like, the song title lol [16:12] Yeah, same [16:12] I don't have multi-channel [16:12] but it looks like that's what this is [16:12] plus "extras" [16:12] I have an AC/DC DVD with a bunch of concert footage and music videos [16:13] I don't like multichannel for studio stuff, it's kind of gimmicky [16:13] stereo + subs always sounds better to me [16:13] but for like live recordings and concerts then +1 to the multichannel [16:15] https://www.dropbox.com/s/69jcg67o6qc62pc/Screenshot%20from%202016-03-11%2011%3A14%3A29.png?dl=0 [16:15] ^ Extras [16:15] jcastro: yeah, I can't think of many situations a studio album would need 7.1 [16:15] ~40 minutes of video / audio [16:16] I think they're interesting [16:16] I think some Wendy Carlos stuff was done in Dolby Surround [16:16] for shit like Dark Side of the Moon the mix is pretty awesome [16:16] it's just not the same though [16:16] so it might be interesting to see some of her stuff on 5.1 [16:16] Classical music in 5.1 might be awesome [16:17] jcastro: Do you have a SACD player? [16:17] no [16:17] I don't think anyone does. :) [16:17] well, I think my problem with surround is you don't sit in the middle of the orchestra [16:17] I have a shit-ton of SACDs that I'd like to see if they add anything to it [16:18] Well, it's not so much "center of orchestra" as it is bunce of the hall [16:18] I've got a few lossless DTS-HD 7.1 and 5.1 samples [16:18] for audio I mean [16:18] right [16:18] http://www.soundandvision.com/content/2112-51#tgELtHyiykdiOJmy.97 [16:18] +1 I've still never been so impressed with surround that it was a must have for me for music listening. [16:18] I have this [16:18] jcastro: Same [16:19] Well, DVD version [16:19] fuck bluray. :) [17:05] linux.next is abandoning rpi! http://lwn.net/Articles/679447/ [17:45] i think something like snarky puppy could be cool in surround [20:24] @wolfger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOMX3deeW6Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs9jiXOKNls [20:24] That is so much awesome [20:25] Now I'm watching this :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBjoWMA5d84 [21:34] http://qz.com/637326/amazon-echo-home-alone-with-npr-on-got-confused-and-hijacked-a-thermostat [21:42] jcastro: ordered echo dot [21:42] need to learn to control impulses [21:44] heh [21:45] hah
