[15:00] <jcastro> well, thanks to you guys I ordered an Amazon Echo
[15:00] <jcastro> and now my wife is making fun of me
[15:01] <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
[15:02] <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
[15:03] <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
[15:04] <jcastro> I saw a video of a dude using voice control to watch plex via alexa and I was like. sold.
[15:05] <rick_h__> lol
[15:06] <jcastro> "alexa play The Matrix on plex" is just too good to pass up.
[15:07] <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
[15:08] <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.
[15:09] <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."
[15:10] <cmaloney> mrgoodcat: Record Player?
[15:10] <cmaloney> jcastro: But this clock is on the internet!
[15:11] <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?"
[15:12] <cmaloney> ^ +1
[15:13] <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"
[15:14] <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
[15:15] <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
[15:16] <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!
[15:17] <jrwren> just set them each to 10m fast and you'll never be late again. ;]
[15:18] <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
[15:19] <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
[15:25] <mrgoodcat> cmaloney: yes i want a record player
[15:54] <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
[16:04] <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
[16:05] <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
[16:06] <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
[16:07] <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
[16:08] <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
[16:09] <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.
[16:10] <jcastro> is the DVD just lossless audio or is there video stuff?
[16:11] <jcastro> I have a DVD of The Division Bell that has like multichannel lossless audio, it's badass
[16:12] <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
[16:13] <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
[16:15] <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
[16:16] <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
[16:17] <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
[16:18] <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
[16:19] <cmaloney> Well, DVD version
[16:19] <cmaloney> fuck bluray. :)
[17:05] <jrwren> linux.next is abandoning rpi! http://lwn.net/Articles/679447/
[17:45] <mrgoodcat> i think something like snarky puppy could be cool in surround
[20:24] <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
