[54.68 --> 58.42] I went shopping today while I was killing time while they were working on the rig. |
[58.42 --> 62.00] I haven't gone to Best Buy since the pandemic started. |
[62.22 --> 63.90] I just haven't had a chance to go in. |
[63.94 --> 67.46] So I was curious, what are they doing for their home automation gear now? |
[67.56 --> 72.84] And they're they're really big, of course, on the Amazon ecosystem and the Google ecosystem. |
[72.84 --> 81.20] Huge on Arlo and a lot of the video lights that you can attach to your house that have like motion detection. |
[81.30 --> 82.66] They sell a whole bunch of those. |
[83.36 --> 94.36] Well, like I said, I haven't been in a long time and I'm sure a lot of people listening know this, but I didn't really realize or appreciate that they're doing e-ink displays for all the prices and stuff for most things. |
[94.66 --> 95.26] Have you seen this? |
[95.32 --> 97.64] You probably have seen this because you've probably gone in more recently than I have. |
[97.64 --> 99.24] It's pretty cool, isn't it? |
[99.26 --> 100.08] It works, right? |
[100.16 --> 102.66] Some of them are a little hard to read, but I like it. |
[102.84 --> 103.96] I think it's a nice touch. |
[104.00 --> 104.36] It's cool. |
[104.60 --> 110.08] And then the one device that really impressed me out of all the stuff there that I saw, I didn't pick it up. |
[110.08 --> 121.54] But the pricing on the Lenovo smart clock stands that have Google Assistant built in, it looks like an alarm clock, but it has Google Assistant $29.99 for this thing. |
[121.74 --> 122.72] Yeah, that is nice. |
[122.88 --> 123.80] Open box $25. |
[124.36 --> 128.98] And then they have one with a screen that has the Google cards on it and stuff like that for $89.99. |
[129.46 --> 134.86] I was at Best Buy just this week buying a new hard drive, but let's not spoil the show. |
[134.86 --> 137.18] Oh, yeah, yeah. |
[137.46 --> 141.42] Yeah, it was good to go in there, you know, do a little shopping, get a sense of where the pricing's at. |
[141.60 --> 145.32] And honestly, it doesn't seem like the tech pricing's really changed much. |
[145.88 --> 149.60] Everything's going up in price except for a lot of the tech stuff. |
[149.70 --> 151.66] Still seemed like it was priced it was a year or two ago. |
[151.66 --> 158.38] I feel like walking into Best Buy is how Harry Potter must feel walking out of Diagon Alley or something. |
[158.68 --> 160.70] This is how normal people live? |
[161.04 --> 162.62] This is how muggles live? |
[162.62 --> 166.72] I would have loved to have seen the Starlink kit at Best Buy. |
[166.82 --> 167.98] I mean, I knew it just wasn't going to happen. |
[168.12 --> 171.58] But imagine if I could have walked in there and bought a new dish tonight with a working motor. |
[171.88 --> 172.54] Imagine this. |
[172.70 --> 176.66] Imagine if Starlink made a dish that was repairable. |
[177.22 --> 177.48] Oh. |
[178.08 --> 178.50] Whoa. |
[178.80 --> 181.72] Like, maybe I could open it up and replace the motor? |
[182.04 --> 182.36] No. |
[183.12 --> 187.96] And then I could just carry spare parts on board and then, like, install them when it goes wrong? |
[188.06 --> 189.70] That's just, that's crazy, Alex. |
[190.30 --> 191.30] It's so frustrating. |
[191.30 --> 193.84] You know it's going to be like a $3 part that's broken. |
[194.28 --> 194.36] Yeah. |
[194.52 --> 203.08] I'm actually a little concerned about how I'm going to transport it in the future because as far as I know, it was just transporting it, going down the road, maybe a jarring bump. |
[203.20 --> 204.38] Something broke the motor. |
[205.02 --> 210.66] And so now I'm thinking about when I do get a replacement dish, like, do I need to get, like, a case for this thing? |
[210.74 --> 211.64] Like, a Pelican case? |
[211.74 --> 212.52] Like, I don't know. |
[212.52 --> 215.86] I'm curious what the audience might do if they have a Starlink and they're transporting it. |
[215.98 --> 219.16] Are there Starlink cases for safe transport? |
[219.50 --> 219.94] Is that a thing? |
[220.28 --> 222.16] We'll build your wooden crate between me and Brent. |
[222.22 --> 223.26] I think we can make that happen. |
[223.86 --> 224.50] There you go. |
[224.64 --> 225.62] That looked pretty nice. |
[226.04 --> 227.52] Well, we're live tonight somehow. |
[227.98 --> 228.70] I don't know how. |
[228.82 --> 230.76] The cellular signal is mostly holding on. |
[230.76 --> 232.38] I've dropped 6,000 packets. |
[232.64 --> 233.70] So it's not perfect. |
[234.12 --> 235.16] But it's holding. |
[235.52 --> 236.14] Good enough, dude. |
[236.32 --> 237.52] We've got folks in the Discord. |
[237.76 --> 241.18] The self-hosted Discord's going, like always, at selfhosted.show slash Discord. |
[241.38 --> 242.42] Hit a milestone recently. |
[242.66 --> 243.26] We did. |
[243.38 --> 247.78] We just passed 4,500 members, which is crazy. |
[248.32 --> 249.16] That is so great. |
[249.58 --> 255.40] You got to admit, it was a little awkward when we decided to go with Discord since it is not a self-hosted chat platform. |
[255.40 --> 258.50] But you can't deny the networking aspect of it. |
[258.50 --> 265.18] Well, I just look at the palaver that you and Wes have been through on Linux Unplugged with your Matrix server. |
[265.32 --> 268.64] And I just feel completely vindicated in that decision. |
[269.20 --> 269.90] Yeah, you might be right. |
[270.38 --> 271.08] You might be right. |
[271.38 --> 274.44] The Matrix server has been a real learning process. |
[274.84 --> 277.40] I like to think of it as a long-term investment. |
[277.60 --> 277.90] Right. |
[278.02 --> 278.74] Something like that. |
[278.94 --> 279.60] Something like that. |
[281.38 --> 284.80] Now, speaking of long-term planning, it's not that far away. |
[284.80 --> 287.98] But I'm going to be in the UK in August, early August. |
[287.98 --> 295.40] So I'm kind of floating the idea of a UK meetup because several people messaged me when we were talking about the Raleigh one saying that they were jealous. |
[295.86 --> 307.02] The very, very vague plan at this point is the weekend of August the 6th, somewhere in London, so that people can fly in from Ireland and Europe more easily. |
[307.20 --> 308.76] Somewhere in London, we'll have a meetup. |
[308.80 --> 309.40] Maybe a pub. |
[309.56 --> 310.54] Maybe a community centre. |
[310.66 --> 311.26] Something like that. |
[311.66 --> 312.40] I don't know. |
[312.84 --> 313.82] We're going to figure it out. |
[313.82 --> 319.10] But if you're interested, send me a message on the Discord or hit me up on Twitter at ironicbadger. |
[319.66 --> 322.48] I want to go so bad. |
[322.62 --> 324.48] I bet August is a great time to be in London, too. |
[325.00 --> 325.58] It could be. |
[325.68 --> 329.68] It could be a good time or it could be snowing and raining sideways in August. |
[329.80 --> 330.18] Who knows? |
[330.36 --> 330.82] I mean... |
[330.82 --> 331.40] No. |
[331.40 --> 333.42] Maybe not snow. |
[333.56 --> 337.80] But I mean, honestly, it could be 35 Celsius or it could be 10. |
[338.08 --> 338.48] Who knows? |
