| floridagram1 | <ahoneybun> like coming to the Ubuntu Hours? | 00:35 |
|---|---|---|
| floridagram1 | <govatent> Yes. That's a good starting point for me | 00:38 |
| floridagram1 | <KMyers> I just went to a Black Friday presale at Wal-Mart. From the time I parked the car to the time I got back into the car was 30 minutes. I got several of the sales items | 01:47 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> Did you get anything good? | 01:49 |
| floridagram1 | <KMyers> I did, including a new 4 camera security system for the house (a NightOwl one with a 1 TV Drive) | 01:50 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> Is it compatible with IFTTT, SmartThings, Nest, or anything else? | 01:51 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> I ask because I bought one that was proprietary, about 5-years ago. I attempted to install an open source Linux basdd monitoring software over the windows 2000, but failed due to proprietary drivers. It now dual boots windows and Linux. If you'd like, I could give you my 4-camera sysfem expandable to 8 for free. | 01:54 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> You can make just about anything work with SmartThings unless there is security preventing it. If you buy a proprietary system, you get screwed on making it work with anything | 01:55 |
| floridagram1 | <KMyers> I have a 4 camera capture card for a full size PC that I was going to use. It will work with ZoneMinder that I am not using. I really do not want another PC at home to run it | 01:55 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> Camera voltage? | 01:56 |
| floridagram1 | <KMyers> The card does not supply power | 01:56 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> OK I have 4-cameras with RCA+barrel | 01:57 |
| floridagram1 | <KMyers> Those would work with the capture card I have | 01:57 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> I paid $300 and never used the system. If you're interested, stop by this weekend. | 01:57 |
| floridagram1 | <KMyers> I can't this weekend. I am currently in the middle of the Texas/Arkansas state line | 01:58 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> Are you back this weekend?? | 01:58 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> Ok | 01:58 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> Next weekend. Remind me. | 01:58 |
| floridagram1 | <KMyers> Will ping you when I get back. Will be driving back tomorrow. Should be back by Sunday | 01:59 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> I'm planning to set up an IP camera system sometime this year. Not sure how to go about it.. Nest outdoor? | 02:00 |
| floridagram1 | <ahoneybun> @AdamOutler @KMyers | 12:18 |
| floridagram1 | <ahoneybun> is the google home worth it? | 12:18 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> If you have a Chromecast or home automation, or you use IFTTT | 13:13 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> It's primary benefit, what it provides that nothing else does, is voice input. | 13:13 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> It is also a good music speaker which can play YouTube or Google play songs. | 13:14 |

| floridagram1 | <ahoneybun> I was so close to buying a Amazon tablet | 14:58 |
| floridagram1 | <ahoneybun> I think geek alliance is closed | 15:14 |
| floridagram1 | <ahoneybun> Nvm | 15:15 |
| floridagram1 | <ahoneybun> Got the tablet at a best buy mobile for 34 bucks | 15:30 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> Fire? | 15:33 |
| floridagram1 | <ahoneybun> Yea the Fire 8in | 15:35 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> Awesome price. It's way lower than Amazon. | 17:53 |
| floridagram1 | <ahoneybun> that's funny | 17:53 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> What? | 17:54 |
| floridagram1 | <ahoneybun> that Best Buy best Amazon their own tablet | 17:54 |
| floridagram1 | <ahoneybun> I need Google Servies though | 17:54 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> Well, I recently picked up an Amazon tablet and found you could root it without even flashing firmware. | 17:54 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> A fastboot command rooted it. | 17:55 |
| floridagram1 | <ahoneybun> oh? | 17:55 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> Then you can install whatever you want with root access. | 17:55 |
| floridagram1 | <ahoneybun> well I just need Google Play atm | 17:55 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> yeah, it was like fastboot oem cmdline or something. Then you add in a kernel CMDLINE variable | 17:55 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> root with fastboot, then install whatever. | 17:55 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> You will probably want to install Cyanogenmod or something to prevent updates from Amazon. | 17:56 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> Whatever you do, start hacking before you update. | 17:56 |
| floridagram1 | <ahoneybun> opps | 17:58 |
| floridagram1 | <ahoneybun> well there is no CM for this Gen version | 17:58 |

| floridagram1 | <ahoneybun> it does not even show the Family tab | 18:57 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> Maybe it's an old GPS? Can you update Google Play Services? That's generally triggered by Hangouts | 19:18 |
| floridagram1 | <ahoneybun> I don't see an update for it | 19:20 |
| floridagram1 | <ahoneybun> I'll install hangouts | 19:20 |
| floridagram1 | <AdamOutler> You can't just update GPS, you need another app to request it. | 19:20 |
| floridagram1 | <ahoneybun> k | 19:20 |
| floridagram1 | <ahoneybun> well Hangouts installed and opened fine | 19:24 |
