BAD GOOGLE! google drops xmmp
May-21, 2013 by: Rod-Lists
From: Rod-Lists ------------------------------------------------------ "During last week's Google I/O conference, the company announced a replacement for its aging Talk instant messenger: Google Hangouts. Hangouts, which is only available for Android, iOS, and Chrome, offers closer integration with Google+. Unfortunately, the new product drops support for the XMPP instant messaging protocol, which has been an integral part of Talk for over ten years." http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/05/20/2315216/google-drops-xmpp-support
[OT] Blackberry 10?
May-20, 2013 by: James Nylen
From: James Nylen ------------------------------------------------------ Is anybody familiar with the new Blackberry phones? How active is the custom ROM community? I'd like to return to a phone with a physical keyboard, if possible, and I'm thinking BB may be worth a look. I use Android now.
OT: "Smart" TVs
May-12, 2013 by: John Aldrich
From: John Aldrich ------------------------------------------------------ Guys, Apologies for the mostly off-topic post.I'm still trying to figure out what TV to get and I think I want a "smart" TV so I don't have to have a separate set-top appliance for streaming media, if I can't find anything on Dish to watch. That being said, I see that we have two different kinds of "Smart" TVs - those with some random embedded O/S and the manufacturer's "App" store, and then there's the kind with the embedded Android OS and the "Google Play" store, which apparently has lots of movies and TV shows all on it's own, plus you can install Netflix as an app, and apparently Amazon's "Prime" streaming media as well. So, is it worth an extra $100 for an Android-based TV or should I stick with whatever random O/S the manufacturer puts on there? I'm leaning towards paying the extra $100 for the Android TV unless someone can give me a good reason not to. Or, should I just buy a Roku box or build a Linux-based Media Center PC and not worry about streaming built into the TV? I have to say having a computer built into the TV sounds like a nice thing to me....

April-13, 2013 by: Adam Jimerson
From: Adam Jimerson ------------------------------------------------------ I think this is my first ever rant on Chugalug o,O Anyways as some of you that know me well know that two months ago I lost my house due to a fire (did not want to make it public to avoid a bunch of half assed pitty emails). Since then I have been fighting with my insurance company trying to get expense and personal loss reimbursements, not fun... The other week my insurance company told me that they wanted receipts for everything I lost in the fire, seeing as how i bought most of my stuff online I thought to myself that would be easy. Until I got to Barnes and Noble... I purchased a 1st Gen Nook from them back in 2010, I login to their website to try and get a copy but to my surprise it was not listed under "My Orders". My payment went through PayPal so I had information about the transaction including an invoice number there. I go to their online chat to see if someone there can help me, the answer I get there is "you will have to call our customer support number to get them to help you". So I called there customer support number and spent almost an hour talking to three different people before getting a 3rd tier manager, all of them hand the same responses to my request the first of which was "Why would you want a copy of your invoice?" then it to "Our system deletes invoices after 18 months and we have no way of recovering that information" then to "Let me research if there is something I could to for you" which resulted to me getting transfered to someone else. Finally I was given the email address for what may or may not be there upper management to see if someone there can help me out. I know that the Nook is more open about running Linux and Android then the Kindle and from the Nook Color on you can run custom Android ROMS on it, but that fact fails in comparison to their piss poor excuse for customer service and billing practices (if they know their system does that and they can not get who ever wrote their system to change that the least they can do is copy old invoices somewhere else for long term storage). My advice to my fellow LUG members is if you choose to do business with B&N make sure you keep a copy of your invoice on a trusted service (DropBox, Box, Google Drive, SpiderOak, etc) or a server that you trust, because if they treat someone trying to get copy of a receipt I can only imagine what they would say to someone trying to get them to honor an extended warranty when they already deleted the invoice (and therefor their record of sale before hand). If you are in the market for a Ebook reader then stay away from the Nook and get a Kindle (at least Amazon keeps invoices), or if you have a smartphone, phablet, or a tablet use a Ebook reader app on your device and save yourself. /me end rant mode

[OT] Gadget Carrier
February-12, 2013 by: Chad Smith
From: Chad Smith ------------------------------------------------------ Hello, The world of computing, as you know, is getting more and more mobile - tablets, smart phones, mobile hot spots, internet-hungry handheld game consoles and media players... I was wondering if anyone had any experience / luck shopping for a bag or carrier or something that could hold them all - and their wires, SD cards, and extra batteries... I have a laptop bag for my laptop, and I have backpack for mega-hauls, but I'm looking for an everyday carrier big enough for my 7" tablet, a smart phone, a media player, a mobile hot spot, a game system, and maybe one or two other pocket-sized devices, and the aforementioned accessories. (I even have a couple of pocketable power strips that I carry with me. So far, I have tried something called a "Gadget Bag" - which was really for a camera, and was too small for the tablet... a tolietries bag (which fit everything, and offered decent organization, but no padding, and the zipper kept mis-firing almost immediately)... and a small, somewhat padded bag that would fit a small netbook, but didn't have a lot of organization to it, and looked too much like a purse (after getting 3 comments from different people in the same week, I decided it was time to retire it). I was super disappointed by the Gadget Bag, even the name seemed right, but the size was way off. I realize it's kind of dumb carrying all those things, but I like the sense of security knowing I have a ton of ways to get online. And, that way when someone asks me "iOS or Android" I can say "Why choose? And why leave out webOS, Maemo, and whatever the heck this thing runs?" Plus, there's the Geek Cred, which was being off-set by the "He carries a Purse" cred.... *- Chad W. Smith*
Mediatomb... or better?
February-10, 2013 by: Mike Harrison
From: Mike Harrison ------------------------------------------------------ I'm diving into things I would not normally do at home, at the request of Princess Nancy and am wondering if ya'll had advice. Her goal is encoding a big rubber tub of music and audio CD's and making them available to a player in her office, making the tub go away. I tried to buy her a Logitech Squeezebox... but she balked at the price. For now. So, using what I have laying around I updated a Chumby Classic with Zurks offline firmware: http://forum.chumby.com/viewtopic.php?id=7831 which works very well.. impressive. She likes the Chumby because it is cute, the speaker is good enough for her uses (quite background music). I'm using a little Asus Atom netbook as a server. I tried using it in Squeezebox mode, but after burning some time playing with setting up "logitechmediaserver" (the current version of SqueezeServer) I did an "apt-get remove --purge logitechmediaserver" It seems to be quite the kludge with lots of competing documentation. Following Zurks notes in a Readme file, I installed MediaTomb as a UPnP/DLNA server on the Netbook. I'm impressed. The Chumby does it well enough, and enabled a webserver for managing the playlist. It also worked very well with my Android Samsung Note II (I'm still liking it..) using "MediaHouse" as an App. My Asus RT16 has a "minidlna" server in it, but it seems to be picky about what it talks to. The Chumby can not see files in the folders, but my phone dos. I've decided to go down this road and do it well. So, my question is: Is MediaTomb the best choice for a UPnP/DLNA server? I see a lot of options. What are ya'll liking for a UPnP/DLNA server and what else are you using it for? ============================================================ Mike Harrison bogon@geeklabs.com cell: 423.605.6943

My device is a = Galaxy Note 2 (ATT version, rooted and unlocked of course). I have some observations that of course are from a long time iOS user's = perspective. 1. Almost all 56 Android mail clients suck. Aqua Mail sucks less than = the rest, but still sucks. 2. Why so goddamned many menu's and choices buried 5 layers deep? 3. The water droplet sound that happens when I swipe my Phone to unlock = it is driving me out of my mind. I can't figure out how to shut it up = (see item 3). 4 There are NO financial/stock market apps for this thing that are worth = a damn. Also see Item 1. 5. The calendar is a POS. Seems to be the same dilemma as item 1. 6. Why do I need an app drawer? iOS definitely got this part right. 7. eBook readers. Also see item 1. Could care less about the kindle app, = don't speak to me about it. On a brighter note: 1. Widgets are cool. 2. I LOVE having a 5.5" screen and a stylus. 3. swappable battery. 4. Micro SD goodness and ease of loading content ;-) Hmm it seems most of my "brighter" items are actually hardware related = and not a plus for Android. I will stick with Android for the foreseeable future, however it is very = LINUX like in the need for constant tweaking and not always working.

Well for a while MongoDB's big selling point was its write speed, which basically came from the fact that it didn't guarantee writes, it just queued stuff up in memory and hopefully got around to writing it at some point. You can see where I'm going here: Why bother with data in the first place? Managing it just slows things down... (IMHO: "NoSQL" databases are like the people who tell you about their novel new database structure in which everything fits in to a single table that has three columns... And it's so flexible, because you can add fields easily, and everything's a string, and...) Dan

Jolla - Sailfish (Meego/Maemo follow-up)
November-24, 2012 by: Chad Smith
From: Chad Smith ------------------------------------------------------ Mike had mentioned this last month, but the event has taken place now, and the UI has been revealed. Sailfish OS designed by Jolla (somewhere between Y'all uh and Holla if Holla started with a Y) based on Meego which is based on Maemo and some other project that also died. And QT and Mer are things too apparently. Either way, it's a Linux based open source mobile operating system designed to be more open (like Linux is supposed to be) than Android, uses smart tiles like Windows (phone) 8 (wait for the suing to begin) and has a unique take on multitasking. Looks very cool. I hope someone ports it to a device that i own. Since I have a Maemo running Nokia N900, there is a chance... http://jolla.com/ https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Overview *- Chad W. Smith*
