 @KMyers Hector I've having a Day 5 viewing night on Sept 2nd (Sat)
 going to be potluck style
 Ok
[01:00] <floridagram-bot> <Hector Arista> Cool
 https://www.facebook.com/events/1727104750931015/?acontext=%7B%22source%22%3A4%2C%22action_history%22%3A%22null%22%7D&source=4&action_history=null
 If you need more space, I can make my place available
 well I've already set the location as mine and don't want to confuse
 but I don't think a lot are going to come tbh
 Ok offer is open
 going to use the new room as I put the mini fridge in there now
 thanks tho
[01:03] <floridagram-bot> <Hector Arista> Batcave?
[01:03] <floridagram-bot> * ahoneybun still does not have Oreo
 that would be a better place but it would have some friends from RT Florida
 *rooster teeth
 so people you don't know
[01:12] <floridagram-bot> <Hector Arista> Offer is open
 Aw, I wish I could go
 you can
 of course
 any one of us would grab you from the train station
 Hector you sure about having it at your place?
 ah snap @KMyers got some stickers for you
[01:19] <floridagram-bot> <Hector Arista> So far, you have three locations too choose from: Keith's place, your place and the batcave
 the batcave couches are nice
 Maybe this weekend
 Oh, a viewing party
 yep @Ivoriesablaze
 AW 2.0 here I come
 Oh well
 I now see why some programmers love KDE, the Qt toolkit is amazing
 The checkbox logic for common menu approaches is just baked in http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-controls-menuitem.html#exclusiveGroup-prop
 👍
 QML is pretty nice
 @RazPi wait to join the Kirigami telegram?
 people could help you if need be
 https://techbase.kde.org/Kirigami
 I'll read up, do they use it in Lumina too? I'm more interested in that desktop
 well it's KDE/Qt so some stuff should work
 best to ask in there maybe
 I have to admit, the megastuf oreo is too much for me
 There is in fact a point where there's too much icing
 :(
 I'm not sure how to look up the javascript reference for this:  … Rectangle { width: 80; height: 50; color: "red" }
 In QML it creates a rectangle container but I don't know enough about javascript syntax to know how to parse that
 Does it just create an anonymous object?
 Is that equivalent to this? … var rect_var = new Rectangle();
 Add in an id.  You are creating an rectangle without a reference.

 No sky net has being built by MS.
 Now I need to decide if I want to upgrade to the Note 8
 Real time AI from Miscroft can you say westworld.
 Have they said what the price for the note 8 would be?
 Not yet, expect that within the hour. If I had to guess, I would have to say in the $799 - $899 range
 I heard the top range would be 1200
 For like 256gb space I think
 @ahoneybun, There is only a 64 GB option
 $930 is the price - 64 GB
[16:07] <maxolasersquad> In 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.
[16:08] <maxolasersquad> Projects like LineageOS give many premium rootable devices even more years of Android update goodness.
 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.
 The Pixel Phones are a solid phone but there are really no stand out features. Samsung, LG, etc all take care of those extras
[16:25] <maxolasersquad> Pixel phones are in good supply right now. For my tastes, security and support are the top features requirements.
[16:25] <maxolasersquad> Freedom too.
 @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 army
[17:25] <floridagram-bot7> <Hector Arista> I'm down
 I want a Mushroom + Broccoli Pizza from Dean Anthonys so bad
[18:15] <maxolasersquad> KMyers, what are your favorite features of the Note? The Note was my device before I started going with Google devices.
[18:16] <maxolasersquad> I passed it down to my daughter, who really liked the styles, until she lost it.
[18:16] <maxolasersquad> /s/styles/stylus/g
 @KMyers, Alright
 @maxolasersquad, At the moment, nothing aside from the stylus specific stuff. Not sure if it is worth the upgrade
[18:26] <sk37ch> my nexus 5x bootlooped..
[18:27] <sk37ch> except for that, it's been my fav phone so far
 If the N6P got better battery it would be my fav next to the OPO
[18:32] <maxolasersquad> Fortunately my wife's 5X never got hit by that bug. That would have really irked me.
[18:33] <maxolasersquad> Two 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.
[18:58] <sk37ch> i liked the 5x so much im considering just buying another one. if pixel2 comes out i may just get pixel with the price drop
[18:58] <sk37ch> too bad the neo900 hasn't materialized. i really want a linux phone
[18:58] <sk37ch> https://neo900.org/
[19:03] <maxolasersquad> If 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] <maxolasersquad> f-droid for an app store, OsmAnd for navigation. MaterialFB for Facebook.
[19:04] <maxolasersquad> I could see using it as a daily driver on my phone if I wasn't so hooked into the Google ecosystem.
[19:04] <sk37ch> cool. havent heard of lineags OS i orig. got the 5x to install copperheadOS but it bootlooped before i ever got around to it
[19:05] <maxolasersquad> It's the descendant of Cyanogenmod.
 Google services make the phone worth it tbh
 @KMyers think I should just reinstall O?
 still stuck on DP4
 If you really want O and cannot wait. Google said it is rolling out within the week
 I have O
 but stuck on DP4
 my Nexus Player has full O
 *Oreo
 When I said O, I was referring to the full, not DP
 it's odd that the Nexus Player got it from DP4 -> Oreo
 but I'm still on DP4
 No, its just how roll outs work.
 alright
 if I call Google will I have to send in my phone first before they send a new or fixed one?
 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 dont
 well the card is not the issue, just don't want to use that Blu unless I have to
 since your looking at QML now @RazPi https://asteroidos.org/
 also watch stuff
 @AdamOutler https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.landak.gimbotparentalcontrolpro
 Not sure I should click that link...
 Gonna do it.
 Oh.  Ok.  A MDM solution.
 I use Google Family
 Family Time allows me to do it all through native Google account services.
 ah did not know
 damn thats come control there
 that's a lot of data
 And it will go higher. This is only 24 hours
