Last October, YouTube removed his Jellyfin tutorial, though that decision was quickly reversed after appeal. This time, his appeal was denied.

This may not be exactly what you're looking for but I am finding the keyboard quite usable for accessing my Linux machines with ConnectBot. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.unihertz.com%2Fprodu...

My laptop has absolutely no indicators other than a single one that lights white when it is charging and amber when the battery is critaclly low. With an SSD you can't even rely on the sound of the drive spinning to tell you it's doing something.

I use Glances to keep on top of memory and CPU useage and to monitor the tempurature sensors. I also run Wavemon to monitor network IO.

These two applications occupy the bottom half of my "Engineering" workspace (yes, my workspaces are Star Trek themed) and both can be run in an SSH session to see wtf is going on if the display becomes unresponsive.

Great list. Just a thought on #11. I would say all logs should be gathered by a remote server that doesn't accept any inbound network connections.

More interesting though might be a labor claim that Best Buy might have against these employees

I read about this a couple of months ago but in the context of employees suing Best Buy because they were suffering PTSD due to the nature of the images they were being compelled to view on their customers' computers and their medical plan didn't cover it.

Thanks for posting the links. I didn't know the old version was still available until I read this story. What a cluttered mess the current version is. It wouldn't be so bad if there was a choice to de-clutter the map, but if there is I haven't found it.

human accomplices only need to be tricked into helping

Or they may be perfectly willing to help. The Daniel Suarez novel Daemon illustrates quite nicely how humans might be pressed in to service by a super intelligence. I highly recommend it.

But what does it have to do with my phones capability to record a call?

If you can hear it, you can record it.

I record most of my calls. At work I use a Nexxtech telephone recorder similar to this this. I plug the 3.5 mm jack in to my Tascam DR-07 digital recorder. When I place or receive a call I just press record then log the call details along with the file name when it ends.

If a call comes in on my cell that I want to record I ask the caller to wait while I put them on speakerphone then use the Tascam's built in mics to record the conversation.

If you don't have a stand-alone recorder, a laptop with built-in mic and/or audio input and something like Audacity will do nicely as well.

If your phone lacks the ability to record conversations, either because it doesn't have speakerphone capabilities or can not work with a device like the one I linked to above, I would replace the phone. Cordless phones can be problematic as they emit rf that can be picked up by the recorder but a cordless with speakerphone either on the base station or handset should work with a digital recorder with built-in mics.

The biggest challenge with recording calls is keeping track of all them so you can find the relevant one in the future. I hacked together a simple PHP/MySQL application I host on my personal site that I use to log calls but a spreadsheet works well too. It's also helpful to begin recordings with whatever detail you can provide prior to dialling or answering. That way you just have to listen to the first few seconds of your recording to find out what the call is about.

If the laws where you live prevent you from recording a conversation you are participating in I would say you have significantly bigger problems than your phone's hardware capabilities.

I keep written notes of meetings, I keep my old notebooks, I keep a (semi) daily journal, I archive emails, appointment calendars and task lists as well as text messages and all other forms of written communications. I see no reason why I should not be able to record any conversation I am part of. If a person asks me to not share what was talked about with others, the existence of a recording has no relevance to that. If I can remember it, there is a record.

As far as calls with companies go, I can't remember the last time a call to or from a business or government agency didn't include the disclaimer that "for quality control and training purposes, this call may be monitored or recorded." I always reply that it most certainly is.

In general I don't record personal calls with friends or my wife, since it's unlikely I will need a record of those calls in the future. But they *are* being recorded, of that I have no doubt. All calls are recorded by various agencies and companies. I have no control over that. What I can do is keep my own record of my calls, just in case the need ever arises for me to know what exactly was said.

As long as you take reasonable precautions to safeguard these recordings - as you would your written communications - I can not see why there would be a problem with it.

I thought open source software was supposed to be better because everyone could see the code and spot problems.

It is, they can and do.

Nations with an actual space program should stop subsidizing these losers

So Russia should stop shuttling US astronauts to and from ISS?

What are you trying to do? Referring to?

On the assumption you're not trolling, I believe he was referring to these.

Yes, all you idiots who want an Internet Of Things, go build your own internetwork and GTF off of ours. That should free up enough IPv4 addresses to keep us going a couple more decades.

I rather die then see the huge medical bills for this type of treatment

I think you would need to do things the other way around. Once you're dead, you would not then be able to see the medical bills.
