| mrgoodcat | hi | 13:38 |
| mrgoodcat | digital ocean had a problem with my physical host | 13:38 |
| mrgoodcat | box rebooted a couple times | 13:38 |
| mrgoodcat | i've been migrated to new hardware now | 13:38 |
| cmaloney | Good morning | 13:38 |
| cmaloney | good deal | 13:38 |
| mrgoodcat | google i/o today | 13:39 |
| rick_h | woot woot | 13:46 |
| cmaloney | They better still have a headphone jack on their new phones or there will be a paddling | 13:46 |
| rick_h | nope, won't be there | 13:46 |
| cmaloney | grrrr | 13:48 |
| cmaloney | I've already done the whole "daisy chain shit" off of a single port | 13:48 |
| rick_h | yea, I'm not looking forward to my next long flight with the "power with a headphone port" dongle required | 13:50 |
| cmaloney | http://ftp.pigwa.net/stuff/mirror/www.atari-explorer.com/images/serial-dc1.gif | 13:50 |
| rick_h | the damn qc20 are firmly in place for best travel headphones around | 13:51 |
| cmaloney | I refuse to buy USB-C headphones | 13:51 |
| cmaloney | REFUSE | 13:51 |
| rick_h | there's only one usb-c port. If you're watching movies on the plane you'll need the dual dongle. | 13:52 |
| cmaloney | I'm not trusting a company that is already trying to meet a price-point to have a decent DAC converter | 13:52 |
| rick_h | I think apple finally released their version | 13:52 |
| cmaloney | converter converter. ;) | 13:52 |
| rick_h | https://goo.gl/nQEMKK nothing like adding some bulk to your sleek phone | 13:54 |
| cmaloney | I understand they're catering to the blutooth audio folks | 13:54 |
| cmaloney | but frankly audio over blutooth is not grat | 13:54 |
| cmaloney | great | 13:55 |
| rick_h | it's better, but yea not great. | 13:55 |
| rick_h | I picked some up for riding the stationary bike | 13:55 |
| cmaloney | this is what gets people to think vinyl is the superior format | 13:55 |
| rick_h | but power is limited, noise cancelling sucks | 13:55 |
| rick_h | lol | 13:55 |
| rick_h | "man, I miss the good ole days with bluetooth. All that dropping out really added character to the music" | 13:55 |
| cmaloney | sibbibbiliaaannnceeeee | 13:56 |
| mrgoodcat | rick_h: i like my mdr-1000x a lot as well | 14:03 |
| mrgoodcat | also i disagree that the noise cancelling sucks | 14:05 |
| rick_h | Bluetooth noise cancelling? Every review is it's not as good as the qc20 and that's not as good as their over ears ones | 14:06 |
| mrgoodcat | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 14:06 |
| mrgoodcat | i used both in the store and decided on these | 14:06 |
| mrgoodcat | you can use them at CHC if you like | 14:06 |
| mrgoodcat | er try them out that is | 14:06 |
| rick_h | Cool will have to check it out | 14:07 |
| mrgoodcat | i got them for work. we have an open-ish floor plan and a training program for field consultants that consists of mostly 20-23 year olds | 14:07 |
| mrgoodcat | i havent been at chc in a while | 14:07 |
| mrgoodcat | are people still going regularly? | 14:07 |
| mrgoodcat | the biggest advantage of these is that they have an analog wired option | 14:09 |
| rick_h | I've not been in a long time. | 14:09 |
| mrgoodcat | which i used on the plane | 14:09 |
| cmaloney | I'm still going | 14:13 |
| cmaloney | We have a meetup group now. | 14:13 |
| rick_h | cmaloney: linky to the meetup group? | 14:14 |
| mrgoodcat | http://meetu.ps/c/3k5kN/BT1Ky/d | 14:17 |
| cmaloney | Mat set it up, so we're at 50 members | 14:20 |
| cmaloney | and naturally there's a lot of folks in there that have yet to make a meeting | 14:21 |
| mrgoodcat | yup | 14:28 |
| mrgoodcat | do people actually use the rsvp feature? | 14:28 |
| cmaloney | Sometimes | 14:29 |
| * cmaloney just cleared out a bunch of folks who haven't shown up (AFAICT). | 14:29 | |
| cmaloney | Still thinking about building a meetup competitor | 14:29 |
| cmaloney | with federation | 14:30 |
| mrgoodcat | any particular reason other than the obvious of wanting to use federated services? | 14:30 |
| cmaloney | Ideally I'd like it to talk to other federated services so you can share photos with Mediagoblin and toot about it via Mastodon | 14:32 |
| cmaloney | since meetings are (by definition) social events | 14:32 |
| cmaloney | why not incorporate social platforms into it | 14:32 |
| cmaloney | That too, and I'd like an environment where if soemone wants to really keep something private they can | 14:33 |
| cmaloney | Groups that still want to meet but don't want the attention | 14:33 |
| cmaloney | eg: recovery groups, victims of assault, etc | 14:33 |
| cmaloney | so the meeting could be set to not federate off of the erver | 14:34 |
| cmaloney | server | 14:34 |
| brousch | cmaloney: Please do | 14:35 |
| brousch | I've thought the same | 14:35 |
| brousch | meetup is expensive: $140+/yr | 14:35 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, it is | 14:35 |
| cmaloney | Also I'd like it to federate so folks can run their own servers and not cost us a dime | 14:35 |
| brousch | Yes | 14:36 |
| cmaloney | but we can charge small amounts of money to be on the main server | 14:36 |
| cmaloney | part of this is also allowing groups that have wrong information on Google | 14:36 |
| cmaloney | eg: a church that has hours from M-F 9am-5pm | 14:36 |
| cmaloney | Closed Sunday | 14:36 |
| brousch | The church can fox its hours | 14:37 |
| brousch | fix | 14:37 |
| cmaloney | (Name me a Christian church that is closed on Sunday) | 14:37 |
| cmaloney | Right, but what's listed is the office hours, not the service hours | 14:37 |
| cmaloney | But yeah, that's the onus for the project | 14:38 |
| cmaloney | Meetup is expensive and is charged per group | 14:38 |
| cmaloney | and has a ridiculous membership cap for the basic level | 14:38 |
| cmaloney | which gets filled up with folks who are joiners, not participators | 14:38 |
| brousch | 7th day adventists | 14:39 |
| cmaloney | brousch: Thank you for reminding me of the exception to the general rule. :) | 14:39 |
| jrwren | Good morning | 14:50 |
| cmaloney | Good morning | 14:50 |
| mrgoodcat | cmaloney: what are you referring to RE: google information | 14:53 |
| mrgoodcat | does meetup check to make sure your hours are correct? | 14:53 |
| cmaloney | no, different problems | 15:12 |
| cmaloney | re: google information on a location vs. meetup foo | 15:12 |
| greg-g | wearing fingertipless gloves, it's cold in my office | 17:22 |
| cmaloney | I didn't realize Wikimedia was in that dire straits. | 17:29 |
| greg-g | :) home office | 17:30 |
| greg-g | low 60s in here | 17:30 |
| cmaloney | heh | 17:31 |
| cmaloney | We have humidity here. Looks like it wants to rain | 17:31 |
| jrwren | warmer in MI than it is out west this week. | 17:32 |
| rick_h | Rained here, thunder and such | 17:32 |
| rick_h | Clearing up a bit now | 17:32 |
| cmaloney | rick_h: Ah, must be that weather north of the University Drive line | 17:33 |
| * cmaloney is making shit up | 17:33 | |
| jrwren | hahaha, swiping on the ear peice of google pixel buds. | 17:33 |
| jrwren | i wonder if they patented the touchpad on earpiece. | 17:34 |
| greg-g | what's the term for an academic article that is a meta analysis... I think I just remembered, meta analysis | 18:26 |
| dzho | that's the one | 18:26 |
| rick_h | jrwren: yea, but the translate demo was pretty cool | 18:27 |
| jrwren | VERY cool | 19:08 |
| mrgoodcat | yea that was the best part of the event | 20:23 |
| rick_h | ugh "Google bumped up the camera's aperture from f/1.8 to f/2.0. This lets in more light, which is everything in photography." | 20:26 |
| rick_h | umm, no. 1.8 is more light than 2.0 | 20:26 |
| mrgoodcat | lol | 20:27 |
| mrgoodcat | where do you see that? | 20:27 |
| mrgoodcat | rear is f/1.8 aperture btw on the pix2 | 20:28 |
| rick_h | saw that in a cnet article | 20:28 |
| mrgoodcat | just looked in tech specs | 20:28 |
| mrgoodcat | 'im sure they just had it backwards | 20:28 |
| rick_h | hmm, maybe that's "from 2.0 to 1.8 | 20:28 |
| rick_h | ah ok, that's cool then | 20:28 |
| mrgoodcat | i wonder how much of the advantage of the pix2 will be backported to pix1. obviously hw changes can't be, but things like the ML in the camera | 20:29 |
| mrgoodcat | is that somethign being released today? something that has been slowly developed and is just in the google camera app? pix2 specific? | 20:30 |
| mrgoodcat | does it depend on new hardware? | 20:30 |
| rick_h | well I think the big thing on the camera is the left/right pixels | 20:32 |
| rick_h | the ML is nice and all, but I think it's the dual pixels that's enabling the feature | 20:33 |
| rick_h | the new launch interface and such should arrive for sure | 20:33 |
