@DavidFreitag IDK, I have a green bassett couch from the 50s

JukEboX

@Herringbone_Cat @DavidFreitag sorry had to use the baythroom

Herringbone_Cat

generally you don't need to apologize for crapping

JukEboX

When I started putting in the sound system I found this

For some reason previous system has a Line level converter

I have no idea what it was for

Herringbone_Cat

interesting. I don't like adding any gain stages into my setups, so i'm not sure why they needed this

perhaps they needed a limiter

JukEboX

@Herringbone_Cat I am not sure. THe Stock Sub was gone as well as the amp so the previous owner must have took that and previous system with them

I still have it in the car. Keeps things nice and crisp

Once I got the old speakers out then I could do this

I have had bits and pieces of that system in my 2 other cars before this one. This time I was going to do it right. I got the full set :P

Herringbone_Cat

21:11

@JukEboX I wouldn't go so far to call a ported 2-12inch sub setup "doing it right" :)

Ported < sealed for subs if you want quality. Ported enclosures like that scream "ghetto bass!"

JukEboX

@Herringbone_Cat I mean get the whole system. Tweeters, speakers, and subs

@Herringbone_Cat I like the low base. Plus it keep sit from rattling my truck like crazy like my old JBLs did

David Freitag

@JukEboX It would appear to be one of these:

amazon.com/Fierce-Audio-FILC20V2-Adjustable-Controller/dp/…

JukEboX

That is exactly what it is

@DavidFreitag know what it does? I looked it up and didn't understand it

David Freitag

@JukEboX I believe it is converting the raw audio output from your head unit into an rca output.

But I would not quote me on that.

JukEboX

@DavidFreitag then it is doing nothing for me since I ran a new set of RCA Cables to the sub

@DavidFreitag my headlights were a whole OTHER story. LOL I just got those in

Herringbone_Cat

21:19

@JukEboX It's not the deepness (frequency response) that you get from the ported enclosure. It's SPL, or loudness, at the expense of fidelity

David Freitag

@JukEboX Oh yeah, what'd ya get?

JukEboX

@Herringbone_Cat I really like the sound that it all makes together

Herringbone_Cat

The deepness is determined by the frequency response of A) the amplifier, which likely HPFs adjustably at around 10-15hz for subsonic sludge, and B) the subwoofer, which will probably drop off at 20-40hz

JukEboX

@DavidFreitag I bought a set of EXCEED headlights and ripped them apart for retro

@Herringbone_Cat Well I am still running this from my old car

Herringbone_Cat

@JukEboX Yeah don't be putting a SEAS or Rainbow system into an old beater. But, if you ever ge ta new car, I recommend a sealed enclosure, custom fiberglass or wood box

and lots of deadening

JukEboX

21:22

This is my new car. Hence the enclosure. My old box was a basic wood/carpet box with 2 JBL 12" in them

When your outside the car you can't really hear a bunch but inside it is nice ;)

Herringbone_Cat

I have a single 600W 10' sub from sundown audio

it will rattle the car next to me at a red light if turned up

JukEboX

@DavidFreitag I got a set of these

Ran them for a week and realized they aren't very bright

David Freitag

Oooh pretty

JukEboX

@Herringbone_Cat haahahahah

David Freitag

I haven't modified anything in my car.

JukEboX

21:24

@DavidFreitag had a friend open them up and began construction

Here is how it turned out

DRL switch back LED strips and Turn signals

Herringbone_Cat

@JukEboX which country in asia do you descend from

JukEboX

Then a full halo retro

Added the blue side markers as an homage to my old headlights

David Freitag

Those look pretty damn awesome.

JukEboX

Hold on to your seat

David Freitag

I'm always firmly gripping my seat. With my butt.

JukEboX

21:28

David Freitag

so much blue

JukEboX

Then went full quad demon eyes on the headlights and dual in the fogs

Plus a blue strip behind the grill

David Freitag

Do you have normal colored headlights or just the blue ones?

JukEboX

I have a set of 6K XEnon Bulbs

And to top it off

Retroed my fogs as well with a set of Halos

All COB ultra bright LEDs

David Freitag

Ok good, I really hate it when I see someone driving around with blue or purple headlights at night.

JukEboX

21:31

@Herringbone_Cat the good o' USA

Herringbone_Cat

@JukEboX I mean your family. You have a mitsubishi lancer. :)

David Freitag

Makes me want to run them off the road and get my crossbow out.

JukEboX

@DavidFreitag yeah I am just a the right spectrum of pissing people off and being bright enough to see

@Herringbone_Cat that is my second one. I LOVE the Lancer.

Herringbone_Cat

@JukEboX I've yet to meet a non-asian-descending man who owns a mitsubishi lancer. :)

JukEboX

@DavidFreitag Yellow is actually the best to be driving with because it is at the right spectrum to illuminate everything correctly

Those driving with blue can hardly see anything

@Herringbone_Cat you have now

David Freitag

21:33

I don't think mine are yellow, I think they are just standard white

Herringbone_Cat

@JukEboX Srsly? Not even a little bit? :)

JukEboX

@Herringbone_Cat neg

I have had all Mitsubishi cars

Herringbone_Cat

David Freitag

Oh god that thing is so pretty

Herringbone_Cat

that's my other vehicle (stock picture)

JukEboX

21:34

NIce!

That was my first

David Freitag

I've always wanted a motorcycle, but I'd die

JukEboX

97' Mitsubishi Galant ES

Herringbone_Cat

i would get real scared if i saw that thing with the headlights off in neutral

@DavidFreitag Why do you say that? :) It's not that hard.

JukEboX

@Herringbone_Cat mod the bike?

David Freitag

Well beside that, everyone that loves me would break it.

@Herringbone_Cat It's not me that would be the problem.

JukEboX

21:35

@DavidFreitag crazy friends?

David Freitag

People in CT can't drive to save their lives.

Herringbone_Cat

@DavidFreitag You are moving faster than traffic on a motorcycle so if you have good mental awareness, you'll be fine.

CT? Nothing compared to your neighbors in NJ :)

They invented the jersey slide

David Freitag

I would love to live in Jersey if it meant that I could avoid CT drivers.

JukEboX

Hey hey hey. CT driver here

And @Herringbone_Cat is right. NJ is 100000000x worse

Herringbone_Cat

I'd say CT is fine to motorcycle in, the disadvantage being, winter means you get 6 motnhs max of good cycling season

David Freitag

21:37

It's a sweeping generality, I am also a CT driver, but that does not mean I suck.

Herringbone_Cat

Here in California we have distinct advantages. Weather is good for moto year round, and, lane splitting is 100% legal

JukEboX

@DavidFreitag there are a lot of people in CT that don't know how to drive a car

@Herringbone_Cat and you have to take advantage since its nothing but traffic on I-5 and the 405

shakes fist at the 405

Herringbone_Cat

@JukEboX I never take those roads, except the I-5 to go to LA

David Freitag

I'd like to get an ultralight some day, take that to work.

Herringbone_Cat

I made it from SF to LA in about 3 hours one time.

JukEboX

21:38

NIce

David Freitag

@Herringbone_Cat Not to mention that spring is mostly all rain, same with the fall. I'd say three months of good riding season.

Herringbone_Cat

I stay within SF often on my motorcycle or my vespa, the main advantage is lane splitting in static traffic at stop signs or lights. Saves a ridiculous amount of time. And going around stuipd traffic like box-blockers or ppl parking.

@DavidFreitag We don't have to worry about rain in California anymore! :)

the lack thereof, perhaps

David Freitag

Oh did it start raining?

Herringbone_Cat

No, it doesn't rain.

Although it did drizzle enought his AM in half of SF that it ook my car rather than bike (if puddles are on the ground, I prefer to drive.)

David Freitag

I heard it rained for a few minutes the other day.

Herringbone_Cat

21:41

the lack of a windshield wiper on motorcycle helmets makes it rather inconvenienrt

David Freitag

That's why you bring a squeegee.

Herringbone_Cat

more like a glove

and you kick it into neutral so you can take your hand off the clutch at a stop light

David Freitag

If someone sent me a motorcycle helmet, I'd install a custom wiper on it.

Herringbone_Cat

good luck with that

JukEboX

@DavidFreitag what kind of car are you driving?

@Herringbone_Cat what is the non bike?

David Freitag

21:43

@JukEboX 2014 Mazda 6 Sport

JukEboX

@DavidFreitag NICE!

Herringbone_Cat

my main helmet is a bell bullitt

JukEboX

Zoom Zoom

Herringbone_Cat

kind of an awful shape to put a windsheild wiper on

JukEboX

LOL

@Herringbone_Cat what is your non bike?

Herringbone_Cat

21:44

@JukEboX 2010 subaru impreza

JukEboX

@Herringbone_Cat gasp the dark side shifty eyes

Herringbone_Cat

@JukEboX how so? I've been in this subaru cult for a while now

David Freitag

That ^

JukEboX

@Herringbone_Cat I am just playing. It's the whole Mitsu Vs Subaru rivalry thing

Xander

Umm...We have a new bear?

JukEboX

21:45

@DavidFreitag that is huge

Herringbone_Cat

is that a mazda 3 or 5?

JukEboX

J/K Sweet though

David Freitag

6

@JukEboX There is no less than 3" around my engine

JukEboX

I like the older 6 better

Herringbone_Cat

I was helping my friend look at cars the other week and the mazda dealership wanted $2k for the trim package that included bluetooth.

I looked at the dude. "$2000 for a $200 head unit upgrade?" "But then you don't have to mess with the electrical system! You don't want to do that!"

JukEboX

21:46

@Herringbone_Cat that is Bluetooth. It should be standard in every car

David Freitag

@JukEboX No way you crazy

JukEboX

As a safety feature

Herringbone_Cat

@JukEboX I will rip that PoS head unit out and put in a pioneer and a microphone in about 20 mins

JukEboX

@Herringbone_Cat did that to mine. Only mine was a JVC

David Freitag

@Herringbone_Cat The 2014 6 has bluetooth on the base model as standard...

Herringbone_Cat

21:47

even the nicest pioneer you can get, the NEX 9000, is like $900

@DavidFreitag I think it was the mazda 3 that had a trim package w/o bluetooth.

David Freitag

Although I have to admit, the head unit in the 6 is complete crap, and it's the only thing I actively want to change about my car.

JukEboX

I am saying Bluetooth SHOULD be a safety standard.

Flyk

@JukEboX yes but me falling asleep is more akin to trying to shut down Windows at the moment

David Freitag

@JukEboX You have to be in park to dick with it.

JukEboX

in CT it is illegal to be on your phone while driving. That would help solve that problem

Flyk

21:48

just seem to be hanging there on the "Shutting down..."

David Freitag

@Flyk Yank the power cord.

What is the worst that could happen?

Flyk

oh right, excellent idea

let's just stop my heart as a method of going to sleep

JukEboX

@Flyk no problem. I was just wondering because I wasn't being asked what "the point of my story" was for a while there

Herringbone_Cat

@DavidFreitag Pioneer and nakamichi are my favorite HU brands, depending if you want hi tech or classic.

Flyk

nice idea @David, liking the dark thoughts

Herringbone_Cat

21:49

basically every car manufacturer puts in shitty head units

David Freitag

Oh, you know me. All about that dark.

JukEboX

@DavidFreitag you have to set up the Bluetooth device?

Herringbone_Cat

you can't find a stock one, even if you pay like hella $$$ extra, that is any decent in terms of sound quality, amplification power, etc

Flyk

@DavidFreitag it's apparently a choice you don't turn back from

David Freitag

@JukEboX Yes, only once. It is a fairly painless process unless it derps.

@Flyk I thought it was a choice you didn't walk back from?

JukEboX

21:50

@DavidFreitag that is understandable

Flyk

"fairly painless unless it derps" - basically sums up computing

JukEboX

I ripped out the BT unit on my car and sold it since my headunit came with one

I am really considering getting a windows Computer based HU in the future

Flyk

did you literally rip it out?

was it still in a saleable condition?

JukEboX

I can see @Herringbone_Cat doing that

David Freitag

The head unit works just fine as long as you disconnect your battery once every two months or so.

JukEboX

21:51

hahaha

Flyk

what are you talking about right now?

I'm so confused

JukEboX

@Flyk we are talking about car stereos and cars

Herringbone_Cat

@JukEboX the problem is you need a special LCD. the normal ones you get, like a nexus 5, are not made to take sun and will get destroyed while parked real fast.

JukEboX

@Flyk up for normal awake time now?

Flyk

no

David Freitag

21:51

@Flyk Our favorite flavor of candy.

JukEboX

@Flyk between attempts to sleep?

David Freitag

Mine is 2014 Mazda 6.

Flyk

there is nothing normal about the time or me being awake

JukEboX

@Herringbone_Cat from what I have seen the devices are pretty nice and with top quality parts.

David Freitag

@Xander We do?

Flyk

21:52

@DavidFreitag confused isn't a flavor

JukEboX

@Flyk you have a car?

Flyk

that's a random question

do you have a car?

JukEboX

Or better yet do you live somewhere where the people drive like asshats?

David Freitag

@Flyk Given the current conversation, it really isn't

Flyk

everybody drives like asshats everywhere

it's the universal rule of driving

you pulling random drifts around corners is seen as driving like an asshat by some people

JukEboX

21:54

@Flyk It's an honest question. I don't know if you have one or not. There are a lot of people these days that choose not to get their license hence have no need for a car

David Freitag

I don't drive like an asshat. Unless driving as fast as physically possible in the left lane counts as "like an asshat"

Herringbone_Cat

@DavidFreitag I've gotten tickets for that one.

Flyk

@JukEboX right because I never travel

JukEboX

@DavidFreitag everyone does that everywhere

@DavidFreitag and your on I-84 no one cares up there. Its like 80 lanes acroos

Xander

begueradj, France

4.2k 5 21 55

David Freitag

21:54

@JukEboX Are you sure? More often than not it is someone driving as slow as physically possible in the left lane.

JukEboX

@Flyk OMG ok drop it .... again

Flyk

oh noes, another bear

Herringbone_Cat

although the CHP didn't give a rats when I drove from SF to humboldt on thanksgiving day doing 110mph up the 101

Flyk

@JukEboX four dot ellipsis for srs?

JukEboX

@Flyk for realzzzzz get used to it

Flyk

21:55

down boy

David Freitag

@JukEboX 80 lanes filled with semi trucks and old people driving slower than the speed of stink.

JukEboX

@Herringbone_Cat well how could then your in a subie. they can't catch you

Xander

@Flyk It's an ellipsis...With emphasis.

JukEboX

@Flyk ;) But seriously assuming you do drive what do you drive?

Flyk

@Xander I'm too tired to even...

@JukEboX a car

has a wheel in each corner and burns corpses

David Freitag

21:56

@JukEboX A lamborghini aventador.

Flyk

lol

JukEboX

@DavidFreitag makes sense

David Freitag

With a flamethrower.

JukEboX

:D

@DavidFreitag that's why you gotta time the HOV lane just right

David Freitag

@JukEboX There are no HOV lanes here that are worth the ticket.

JukEboX

21:57

Ok so now that @Flyk is back to make me feel bad about my self it is time for me to drive home..... like an ass hat apparently

@Flyk yes that's a 5 period ellipsis oh snap

@DavidFreitag yeah I know :/

Herringbone_Cat

@JukEboX they can catch cars pretty well but motorcycles they often break off the chase. Just don't install plates. :)

Flyk

I have no problem with you drifting around corners as long as you stay within the points zone and keep the back out

JukEboX

@DavidFreitag except maybe the one toward Bradley

Herringbone_Cat

first CHP cop to pull me over on a motorcycle: "Holy shit! T hank you for stopping! If you hadn't, I would have never caught you."

David Freitag

@JukEboX Yup, and the cops watch that one like it is their job.

Flyk

21:59

and everybody needs to see how fast their car will actually go at least once

JukEboX

@Flyk this is New England can't do to much driving without hitting a pot hole or a mountain

@Herringbone_Cat ahahhahahhaahaah

@Flyk to be continued when I get home

Back in about 2 hours

David Freitag

@Herringbone_Cat Luckily the radio signal travels at the speed of light.

Flyk

doubtful

2 hours... lol

JukEboX

@Flyk <3 you to :P By guys

Flyk

denied

Herringbone_Cat

22:00

@DavidFreitag "We're looking for a guy on a motorcycle doing 110 on <x road>"

David Freitag

@Herringbone_Cat You would be surprised how well that works.

Herringbone_Cat

@DavidFreitag chances of them intercepting someone like that before you get off the road and hide...very minimal

David Freitag

Then every cop in town is looking for someone on a motorcycle.

Herringbone_Cat

@DavidFreitag They don't pursue motorcycle chases for safety reasons. Not worth it over at icket to endanger the public in a chase.

David Freitag

Unless the off ramp is within a few hundred feet of your house, you're boned.

@Herringbone_Cat All they need is your plate number.

Flyk

22:01

hardly, you have many minutes before anything real happens

Herringbone_Cat

@DavidFreitag that's why i said "if you don't equip plates" :)

David Freitag

Driving with no plates is a felony.

Herringbone_Cat

That's why you run from the police, duhh

David Freitag

A friend of mine learned that one the hard way

Flyk

which is hardly relevant when you're driving fast enough to not get caught in the first place

David Freitag

22:02

@Herringbone_Cat And when you run out of gas?

Herringbone_Cat

@DavidFreitag No one in california has plates.

Xander

@Flyk You can't outrun a Motorola, as the saying goes.

Herringbone_Cat

@DavidFreitag and by no one, i mean anyone who doesn't want them. There's tons of loopholes.

Flyk

@Xander like the police ever react instantly to anything

David Freitag

@Flyk I don't know about the police on the other side of the atlantic, but they react pretty quickly here..

Xander

22:04

@Flyk You're in Europe. Everyone's lazy in Europe. In the U.S., you'd think the cops were hopped up on amphetamines, as quickly as they react.

Flyk

they probably are

Herringbone_Cat

@DavidFreitag also i'm not sure where you get driving without paltes is a felony

David Freitag

@Xander That's because they are used to chasing people who are hopped up on amphetamines.

Herringbone_Cat

here, it's an equipment violation, which is a fix-it infraction.

meaning you get 90 days to put plates on until you have to pay!

David Freitag

@Herringbone_Cat It is within the realm of possibilities that my friend had no idea what he was talking about, or perhaps I am remembering what he said incorrectly.

To anyone looking for car insurance: Don't use esurance (they suck), and they sell your information.

Oh look, lookout mobile finally sent out an email about StageFright.

Dear Oracle,
How many databases would a zero-day debase if a zero-day could debase a database?

---

ZOT!

TildalWave

23:00

you mean record not found?

Gilles

@TildalWave ?

FYI:

Internet Oracle

The Internet Oracle (historically known as The Usenet Oracle) is an effort at collective humor in a pseudo-Socratic question-and-answer format. A user sends a question to the Oracle via e-mail, or the Internet Oracle website, and it is sent to another user when he/she has asked a question, or requested one to answer. This second user may then answer the question (or not; if it is not answered within 24 hours it is put back into the queue to be given to another user to answer). Meanwhile, the original questioner is also sent a question which he/she may choose to answer. All exchanges are conducted...

TildalWave

Yes, I know that

I provided an alternative answer to your question in which the Internet Oracle suffered a zero-day debase :P

Oracle sues Google for $9bn

Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) had announced that it had launched legal proceedings against Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) to claim $9.46bn in damages for copyright violation. “Google's Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) is clearly the product of reverse engineering of our EULA,” Oracle spokeperson M.A. Davidson said. “They took all the parts from our most valuable intellectual property and exposed them to the public. This is deeply distressing and they should be ashamed.”

Xander

@Gilles Ha, nice.
