floridagram-bot<KMyers> If you need more space, I can make my place available01:02
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> well I've already set the location as mine and don't want to confuse01:03

floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> going to use the new room as I put the mini fridge in there now01:03
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> thanks tho01:03
floridagram-bot<Hector Arista> Batcave?01:03
floridagram-bot* ahoneybun still does not have Oreo01:03
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> that would be a better place but it would have some friends from RT Florida01:04
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> *rooster teeth01:04
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> so people you don't know01:04
floridagram-bot<Hector Arista> Offer is open01:12
floridagram-bot<Ivoriesablaze> Aw, I wish I could go01:14
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> you can01:15
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> of course01:15
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> any one of us would grab you from the train station01:15
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> Hector you sure about having it at your place?01:15
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> ah snap @KMyers got some stickers for you01:17
floridagram-bot<Hector Arista> So far, you have three locations too choose from: Keith's place, your place and the batcave01:19
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> the batcave couches are nice01:19
floridagram-bot<Ivoriesablaze> Maybe this weekend01:19
floridagram-bot<Ivoriesablaze> Oh, a viewing party01:20
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> yep @Ivoriesablaze01:20
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> AW 2.0 here I come01:20
floridagram-bot<Ivoriesablaze> Oh well01:21
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I now see why some programmers love KDE, the Qt toolkit is amazing01:38
floridagram-bot<RazPi> The checkbox logic for common menu approaches is just baked in http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-controls-menuitem.html#exclusiveGroup-prop01:38
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> 👍01:38
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> QML is pretty nice01:40
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> @RazPi wait to join the Kirigami telegram?01:41
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> people could help you if need be01:41
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> https://techbase.kde.org/Kirigami01:41
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I'll read up, do they use it in Lumina too? I'm more interested in that desktop01:44
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> well it's KDE/Qt so some stuff should work01:45
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> best to ask in there maybe01:45
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I have to admit, the megastuf oreo is too much for me02:14
floridagram-bot<RazPi> There is in fact a point where there's too much icing02:14
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> :(02:15
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I'm not sure how to look up the javascript reference for this:  … Rectangle { width: 80; height: 50; color: "red" }04:38
floridagram-bot<RazPi> In QML it creates a rectangle container but I don't know enough about javascript syntax to know how to parse that04:38
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Does it just create an anonymous object?04:38
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Is that equivalent to this? … var rect_var = new Rectangle();04:41
floridagram-bot7<AdamOutler> Add in an id.  You are creating an rectangle without a reference.12:07

floridagram-bot7<chuckr> No sky net has being built by MS.15:20
floridagram-bot7<KMyers> Now I need to decide if I want to upgrade to the Note 815:21
floridagram-bot7<chuckr> Real time AI from Miscroft can you say westworld.15:22
floridagram-bot7<chuckr> Have they said what the price for the note 8 would be?15:23
floridagram-bot7<KMyers> Not yet, expect that within the hour. If I had to guess, I would have to say in the $799 - $899 range15:25
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> I heard the top range would be 120015:55
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> For like 256gb space I think15:55
floridagram-bot7<KMyers> @ahoneybun, There is only a 64 GB option15:56
floridagram-bot7<KMyers> $930 is the price - 64 GB16:02
maxolasersquadIn a world where Google makes premium devices that get monthly updates, the first updates, and that goes on for two years after release, I don't understand the market for devices like the Galaxy line. Samsung devices are more insecure and come with bloatware, and are not rootable.16:07
maxolasersquadProjects like LineageOS give many premium rootable devices even more years of Android update goodness.16:08
floridagram-bot7<KMyers> It is all about features and availability. Google phones have been harder to get. Even worse when they are always sold out and partner with one store/carrier to sell them.16:12
floridagram-bot7<KMyers> The Pixel Phones are a solid phone but there are really no stand out features. Samsung, LG, etc all take care of those extras16:13
maxolasersquadPixel phones are in good supply right now. For my tastes, security and support are the top features requirements.16:25
maxolasersquadFreedom too.16:25
floridagram-bot7<KMyers> @ahoneybun / Hector - Any thoughts on running up to Boca and grabbing a few Dean Anthonys Pizzas before the viewing? 2x Pizzas should be more than enough to feed an army16:57
floridagram-bot7<Hector Arista> I'm down17:25
floridagram-bot7<KMyers> I want a Mushroom + Broccoli Pizza from Dean Anthonys so bad17:27
maxolasersquadKMyers, what are your favorite features of the Note? The Note was my device before I started going with Google devices.18:15
maxolasersquadI passed it down to my daughter, who really liked the styles, until she lost it.18:16
maxolasersquad/s/styles/stylus/g18:16
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> @KMyers, Alright18:20
floridagram-bot7<KMyers> @maxolasersquad, At the moment, nothing aside from the stylus specific stuff. Not sure if it is worth the upgrade18:22
sk37chmy nexus 5x bootlooped..18:26
sk37chexcept for that, it's been my fav phone so far18:27
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> If the N6P got better battery it would be my fav next to the OPO18:28
maxolasersquadFortunately my wife's 5X never got hit by that bug. That would have really irked me.18:32
maxolasersquadTwo of my kids have Pixel devices. They are truly great devices. I'm waiting for the Pixel 2 to upgrade from my Nexus 6. It's got some hardware issues with the camera and genral laginess after a while.18:33
sk37chi liked the 5x so much im considering just buying another one. if pixel2 comes out i may just get pixel with the price drop18:58
sk37chtoo bad the neo900 hasn't materialized. i really want a linux phone18:58
sk37chhttps://neo900.org/18:58
maxolasersquadIf you want a Google-less experience, I have a Nexus 7 (2013) running Lineage OS without any google services. It's surprisingly usable.19:03
maxolasersquadf-droid for an app store, OsmAnd for navigation. MaterialFB for Facebook.19:03
maxolasersquadI could see using it as a daily driver on my phone if I wasn't so hooked into the Google ecosystem.19:04
sk37chcool. havent heard of lineags OS i orig. got the 5x to install copperheadOS but it bootlooped before i ever got around to it19:04
maxolasersquadIt's the descendant of Cyanogenmod.19:05
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> Google services make the phone worth it tbh19:06
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> @KMyers think I should just reinstall O?19:47
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> still stuck on DP419:47
floridagram-bot7<KMyers> If you really want O and cannot wait. Google said it is rolling out within the week19:47
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> I have O19:48
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> but stuck on DP419:48
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> my Nexus Player has full O19:48
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> *Oreo19:48
floridagram-bot7<KMyers> When I said O, I was referring to the full, not DP19:48
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> it's odd that the Nexus Player got it from DP4 -> Oreo19:48
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> but I'm still on DP419:49
floridagram-bot7<KMyers> No, its just how roll outs work.19:49
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> alright19:49
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> if I call Google will I have to send in my phone first before they send a new or fixed one?19:49
floridagram-bot7<KMyers> I cannot say for sure. You will need to ask. Sometimes they will ask for a credit card number and put a hold on it, sometimes they dont19:50
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> well the card is not the issue, just don't want to use that Blu unless I have to19:51
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> since your looking at QML now @RazPi https://asteroidos.org/20:05
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> also watch stuff20:05
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> @AdamOutler https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.landak.gimbotparentalcontrolpro21:52
floridagram-bot7<AdamOutler> Not sure I should click that link...21:52
floridagram-bot7<AdamOutler> Gonna do it.21:52
floridagram-bot7<AdamOutler> Oh.  Ok.  A MDM solution.21:53
floridagram-bot7<AdamOutler> I use Google Family21:53
floridagram-bot7<AdamOutler> Family Time allows me to do it all through native Google account services.21:54
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> ah did not know21:55
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> damn thats come control there21:57
=== sketch1 is now known as sk37ch
floridagram-bot7<ahoneybun> that's a lot of data22:12
floridagram-bot7<KMyers> And it will go higher. This is only 24 hours22:13
