 like coming to the Ubuntu Hours?
 Yes. That's a good starting point for me
 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
 Did you get anything good?
 I did, including a new 4 camera security system for the house (a NightOwl one with a 1 TV Drive)
 Is it compatible with IFTTT, SmartThings, Nest, or anything else?
 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.
 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
 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
 Camera voltage?
 The card does not supply power
 OK I have 4-cameras with RCA+barrel
 Those would work with the capture card I have
 I paid $300 and never used the system.  If you're interested, stop by this weekend.
 I can't this weekend. I am currently in the middle of the Texas/Arkansas state line
 Are you back this weekend??
 Ok
 Next weekend.  Remind me.
 Will ping you when I get back. Will be driving back tomorrow. Should be back by Sunday
 I'm planning to set up an IP camera system sometime this year.  Not sure how to go about it..  Nest outdoor?
 @AdamOutler @KMyers
 is the google home worth it?
 If you have a Chromecast or home automation, or you use IFTTT
 It's primary benefit, what it provides that nothing else does, is voice input.
 It is also a good music speaker which can play YouTube or Google play songs.

 I was so close to buying a Amazon tablet
 I think geek alliance is closed
 Nvm
 Got the tablet at a best buy mobile for 34 bucks
 Fire?
 Yea the Fire 8in
 Awesome price.  It's way lower than Amazon.
 that's funny
 What?
 that Best Buy best Amazon their own tablet
 I need Google Servies though
 Well, I recently picked up an Amazon tablet and found you could root it without even flashing firmware.
 A fastboot command rooted it.
 oh?
 Then you can install whatever you want with root access.
 well I just need Google Play atm
 yeah, it was like fastboot oem cmdline or something.   Then you add in a kernel CMDLINE variable
 root with fastboot, then install whatever.
 You will probably want to install Cyanogenmod or something to prevent updates from Amazon.
 Whatever you do, start hacking before you update.
 opps
 well there is no CM for this Gen version
 mm I can't copy and paste files over?
 just bought all those Unix books
 what books?
 https://www.humblebundle.com/books/unix-book-bundle
 15 bucks for all at least
 so I got Google Play installed
 but it does not show that I bought stuff
 @AdamOutler
 it does not even show the Family tab
 Maybe it's an old GPS?  Can you update Google Play Services?  That's generally triggered by Hangouts
 I don't see an update for it
 I'll install hangouts
 You can't just update GPS, you need another app to request it.
 k
 well Hangouts installed and opened fine
 Dunno then.   Maybe you can tweak the build.prop and gain features
 I'll look for a newer GPS
 there is just 1 new one in apkmirror
