| 01:13.40 | Neffiphone | arrowmaster no it doesn't look that way. it's self contained. comes with a remote |

| 01:24.55 | Semlar | hi neffi |
| 01:25.01 | Neffi | hi semlar |
| 01:25.15 | Semlar | did you sober |
| 01:25.18 | Neffi | yes |
| 01:25.25 | Semlar | good |
| 01:25.30 | Neffi | nods |
| 01:26.27 | jleclanche | Neffi: lol "Amazon Fire Stick" |
| 01:26.45 | jleclanche | I don't think it's a high tech gadget i'm picturing |

| 01:48.49 | Dagmar | It'll probably put ads on the screen. No thanks. |
| 01:52.19 | Neffi | Dagmar: No. It's just a little ARM based media player with apps for common things, like Netflix and Youtube and support for some Android apps |
| 01:52.51 | Dagmar | Well, if you're wanting something that can run Android apps in that form-factor, there's always the MK808B and friends |
| 01:52.52 | Neffi | It's just a dual core A9. Not high-end hardware. And they encourage you into an Amazon Prime subscription, so that's where they're making the money. |
| 01:53.22 | Neffi | I want something that's stupidly easy to use for somebody who's baffled by technology and will give him access to things like Netflix and Youtube. It does that. |
| 01:53.36 | Dagmar | I've got one of the little Rockchip beasties here plugged into a spare HCMI port |
| 01:53.39 | Dagmar | er HDMI |
| 01:53.51 | Neffi | Yeah it's like Roku or similar things |
| 01:53.54 | Dagmar | Ah. Chromecast does that as well |
| 01:54.13 | Neffi | Yes but Chromecast requires a separate device to control it. This doesn't. It comes with a simple little remote. |
| 01:54.17 | Dagmar | The MK808B-likes are just full Android devices that are the size of a pack of gum and run off USB power |
| 01:54.32 | Dagmar | Bleh who doesn't have a smartphoen |
| 01:54.33 | Neffi | yeah, I've seen those. it looks rather like that. |
| 01:54.54 | Neffi | Well, he has a smartphone, but navigating it is not easy for him. It's much easier to just use a remote. |
| 01:55.12 | Dagmar | Also I can schlep video from YouTube/Netflix to my Chromecast from the PC |
| 01:55.16 | Neffi | He went 50 years of his life without ever touching a smartphone. You can't expect him to suddenly be able to navigate it fluidly. |
| 01:55.38 | Dagmar | *shrug* |
| 01:55.41 | Neffi | He's never owned a computer either |
| 01:55.57 | Dagmar | I got my parents one Chromecast and by the time I went to bring them a second one for the TV in their bedroom, mom had bought a smart TV |
| 01:56.10 | Neffi | He's baffled when he tries to access one to look at stuff on eBay. Took him a while to get the hang of eBay on the phone. |
| 01:56.11 | Dagmar | It just plays Netflix and Youtube and so on by itself |
| 01:56.29 | Neffi | Yeah, he's got a regular TV and no incentive to replace it. |
| 01:56.44 | Dagmar | LCD or CRT? |
| 01:56.47 | Neffi | But I know he'll enjoy Netflix, so I figured it'd be a nice little gift |
| 01:57.11 | Dagmar | I recently helped a neighbor rid themselves of their rear-projection dinosaur |
| 01:57.15 | Neffi | LCD, although it took a while before he bought into large, flat, modern TVs |
| 01:57.51 | Dagmar | They had no idea you could get a 50" TV and just stick it on the wall |
| 01:58.06 | Dagmar | He didn't tell the wife in advance |
| 01:58.21 | Dagmar | She saw the power tools and went to check the rear side of the wall |
| 01:58.59 | Dagmar | We _did_ snake the cables down inside the wall tho |
| 01:59.00 | Neffi | haha |
| 01:59.13 | Amarande | heh, just get a Chip |
| 01:59.21 | Amarande | if you want a tiny little cheap ARM based device |
| 01:59.45 | Neffi | Amarande: Being user friendly is the really important part here. |
| 02:00.04 | Amarande | Neffi: yeah, UX is the eternal geek failing, isn't it :) |
| 02:00.05 | Dagmar | Amarande: A "chip"? |
| 02:00.16 | Amarande | Dagmar: that $9 mini-computer that's been on kickstarter lately |
| 02:00.19 | Dagmar | Amarande: The world just keeps making bigger idiots |
| 02:01.00 | Dagmar | Ah those |
| 02:01.14 | Dagmar | I'm going to wait until they've gone to mass-production and see about getting a screen and keyboard at the same time |
| 02:01.47 | Dagmar | ...because I am a big enough nerd that I might just install it in my ceramic hacker frog |
| 02:03.05 | Dagmar | Someone else in the area got one because Ingress/Enlightenment and my mom just saw a yard decor item that had a frog using a laptop and bought it for me |
| 02:03.36 | kd3 | lol |
| 02:03.36 | Dagmar | It's got a little solar cell on it, so if you leave it in the sun, at night, there is an LED that shines at the base of the screen |
| 02:03.55 | Dagmar | I've already ordered some clear PTE plastic sheets so I can make it _actually_ backlight properly |
| 02:04.14 | Dagmar | Probably going to print out a mock-up of the Intel map |
| 02:04.21 | Dagmar | The girl I'm dating will shit bricks |
| 02:04.57 | Dagmar | The only thing keeping her from level 16 is AP, and she's over in Sweden for hte next two months, which gives me plenty of time to dress this thing up |
