[00:35] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> like coming to the Ubuntu Hours?
[00:38] <floridagram1> <govatent> Yes. That's a good starting point for me
[01:47] <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
[01:49] <floridagram1> <AdamOutler> Did you get anything good?
[01:50] <floridagram1> <KMyers> I did, including a new 4 camera security system for the house (a NightOwl one with a 1 TV Drive)
[01:51] <floridagram1> <AdamOutler> Is it compatible with IFTTT, SmartThings, Nest, or anything else?
[01:54] <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.
[01:55] <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
[01:56] <floridagram1> <AdamOutler> Camera voltage?
[01:56] <floridagram1> <KMyers> The card does not supply power
[01:57] <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.
[01:58] <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.
[01:59] <floridagram1> <KMyers> Will ping you when I get back. Will be driving back tomorrow. Should be back by Sunday
[02:00] <floridagram1> <AdamOutler> I'm planning to set up an IP camera system sometime this year.  Not sure how to go about it..  Nest outdoor?
[12:18] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> @AdamOutler @KMyers
[12:18] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> is the google home worth it?
[13:13] <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.
[13:14] <floridagram1> <AdamOutler> It is also a good music speaker which can play YouTube or Google play songs.

[14:58] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> I was so close to buying a Amazon tablet
[15:14] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> I think geek alliance is closed
[15:15] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> Nvm
[15:30] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> Got the tablet at a best buy mobile for 34 bucks
[15:33] <floridagram1> <AdamOutler> Fire?
[15:35] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> Yea the Fire 8in
[17:53] <floridagram1> <AdamOutler> Awesome price.  It's way lower than Amazon.
[17:53] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> that's funny
[17:54] <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.
[17:55] <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.
[17:56] <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.
[17:58] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> opps
[17:58] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> well there is no CM for this Gen version
[18:10] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> mm I can't copy and paste files over?
[18:28] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> just bought all those Unix books
[18:28] <floridagram1> <AdamOutler> what books?
[18:28] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> https://www.humblebundle.com/books/unix-book-bundle
[18:28] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> 15 bucks for all at least
[18:45] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> so I got Google Play installed
[18:45] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> but it does not show that I bought stuff
[18:57] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> @AdamOutler
[18:57] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> it does not even show the Family tab
[19:18] <floridagram1> <AdamOutler> Maybe it's an old GPS?  Can you update Google Play Services?  That's generally triggered by Hangouts
[19:20] <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
[19:24] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> well Hangouts installed and opened fine
[19:25] <floridagram1> <AdamOutler> Dunno then.   Maybe you can tweak the build.prop and gain features
[19:25] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> I'll look for a newer GPS
[19:26] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> there is just 1 new one in apkmirror
[19:26] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> 230 vs 240
[19:26] <floridagram1> <ahoneybun> I rebooted the thing just in case
