Re: ASUS Zephyrus S19
What would you say if I told you that the street electric stop signals here were still using msDOS to control them? Yes, I remember all the Linux Distro's you had placed on USB sticks and go them all to work. Plus much of the other fancy things you were able to do. That RST you mentioned sounds like...

Re: FLoC
I got the first Echo Dot as a gift, and since I don't have a Schmartz-fone to set it up, and their on-line website only works for a couple things, not of them having to do with getting it working. I let it sit for over 3 months unused. After Debi got an upgrade on her Schmartz-fone, she got it out a...

Re: Blackboards: 2021 style
You can laugh, but I learned to drive a stick first on farming tractors, then in the many trucks we had around the farm and florist. Many of those old early trucks were actually open trucks, no roof over your head, hi hi. A couple we had to crank to start too, but I steered clear of those. The very ...

Re: Happy Pi Day
Targinol is now only available and can only be installed by professionals. Same way with vinyl stucco siding used on office buildings. But back when I was doing general contracting work, I could buy all of those items with ease, so could anyone back then. When I installed floating laminate flooring,...

Re: FLoC
We have a couple of Echo devices here. I have one with a picture screen on it in the kitchen, and the lowly simple Dot version in my office. We use it as an intercom, but leave it on when I'm in my office and no one is home. This it keeps turning up the microphone volume like the early cassette play...

Re: ASUS Zephyrus S19
All I can say Yogi is I've been using Debian now for probably over a decade and have never had any problems to speak of. I can connect to all of my computers, the NAS, and to Debi's Windows computers if it has a shared file I can see it in my list, and it opens if I click on it. I have had a few min...

Re: Happy Pi Day
If the truth were known, I love doing new things, but then tire of them quickly, and wouldn't want to be stuck doing any one thing as a career for life. I guess that is why I liked general contracting, once I worked my way up to that level. As it involved all the trades, from sanitary and supply plu...

Re: Blackboards: 2021 style
Many long years ago, when had to go to Tempe Arizona to teach two VOTEC classes, which was part of getting my state general contractors license without being union. Most of the books they used to teach from were even hard for me to understand. But each of these kids had to pass the carpentry class t...

Re: ASUS Zephyrus S19
I just checked the Silver Yogi, it accesses the NAS and other Windows machines just fine, and vice versa.
The Samba version on this machine is Samba 4.9.5-Debian.
But when I have a lot of things to move I usually use SSH now, since it is faster and easier.

Re: FLoC
I guess it depends on how many thousands of dollars they charge for one or a pair.
I've seen hearing aid prices from 39.95 a pair, all the way up to 7,000 bucks each.
The ones I tried would have cost like 3 grand for the pair, but they made everything sound way off.

Re: Blackboards: 2021 style
I wanted to chime in yesterday, but ran out of time. Back when a local school changed out all their green 8 foot long chalkboards with the aluminum frame and chalk ledge, I bought six of them. I placed one in each of my kids rooms, and two in my downstairs workshop. Once the kids were older, and did...

Re: Happy Pi Day
I rebuilt all of the stained glass windows in my grandparents house for them. Every single one had gotten broken in some way or fashion over the years. We had a stained glass shop out in Ballwin where I could get materials I needed. I also ended up making a few stained glass hanging lamps that were ...

Re: FLoC
Technically, audio feedback was a problem they solved 40 years ago by using two different phases. What the mike hears from a speaker is cancelled out by switching the phase to prevent feedback from the mike. When's the last time you heard any feedback from a microphone at a stage concert, or speaker...

Re: ASUS Zephyrus S19
You have to remember Windoze is a PROPRIETARY program, CLOSED SOURCE, so nobody other than ms knows what's where doing what inside. They give hardware manufacturers secret inside info so they can make drivers for their stuff, but it only works if you do it the ms way using the doors they provided, a...

Re: Happy Pi Day
When my son was in like third grade or so. He made a watercolor drawing. He dropped it on the rain soaked street getting off the bus. I dried it out and framed it and kept it on the wall to the right of my Organ so I could see it each day. My step-daughter made an engraving on glass for her mother. ...

Re: ASUS Zephyrus S19
Are you sure it is not Windoze making it difficult to use Linux Distro's on the machines THEY CONTROL. I have three generations of Ubuntu, and two generations of Linux Mint, all running on a computer with all Debian versions since Debian 8. Seems I never delete an old install after creating a partit...

Re: FLoC
My uncle Bill had a hearing aid that put out this loud squeal every time he walked past a TV set. He said he could not hear the squeal, but everyone else in the room did, and it was loud too, hi hi. He finally got the company to replace them, and finally no more squeal, but he could hear a pin drop ...

Re: Happy Pi Day
I've made many things during arts and crafts in school, and got B+ or A on most of them. But I have this bad habit of biting off more than I can chew, so it takes much longer to finish a project. But I was thinking ahead even back then to the total finished project. I made a small metal table from s...

Re: Micro Climate in O'Fallon
I learned the hard way from when I did hold 3 US Patents. It costs roughly 150,000 dollars to go after each infringement. More often than not, those doing the infringement are making things in their basement to resell. This means, they don't have enough money to even pay part of what it costs to go ...
