For the same reason, plugging in an external keyboard is also a no-go since freshly updated iPhones are placed in what's known as a Before First Unlock state, which prevents wired accessories from working until the passcode is entered.

Makes sense why he didn't do this.

I just installed this on my Wyse cam 2 after using the defang hacks for years. This works all the same but it is much better. Having working night vision where it isn't just randomly enabling the IR filter is great.

Upgrade from dafang was easy if you follow the guide on the github wiki. Getting RTSP working was strange as it wouldn't work over IP but did over local DNS entry, but that's the only issue I've found so far.

I use a HP T640 currently as my main "home lab" server and I'm planning on relocating the old Dell/Wyse Zx0Q to my mums as a backup server.

I run about 20 different containers at the moment and run TVheadend bare metal with 3 DVB-T2 tuners.

Both machine used USB3 - Sata enclosures for extra storage. Work greats. The old Dell machine even did transcoding in JellyFin for 1080p content, which was not expected given how crap the cpu is in it. Everything ran fast and stable.

Check out Parky Towers for in-depth info on many different thin clients.

Qobuz sells popular music in 24bit flac. Bleep and Boomkat sell more obscure stuff.

Your best bet is thrift/charity stores and ripping CDs. Super cheap and plentiful and albums are still put out on CDs.

When my dad died last year from aggressive relapse of cancer, his death rattle was so intense my mum couldn't deal with it and had to leave the room when it was happening, it's a disturbing experience. She's still traumatised by it today.

The HiSense A5, A7 and A9 range of phones could be your answer. Problem is it is a Chinese domestic market phone. A9 does have a GSI of LineageOS with working EINK refresh modes available on XDA so this could be your ticket if the 4G bands are available in your country (basically not the US).

I have an A5 Pro and it works great.

I wrote to my MP about this and got a response.

They agreed with me that it is "important to protect users' freedom of expression and personal privacy".

They "do not believe it is right for encrypted messages to become decrypted. There must be a balance between our fundamental right to privacy and keeping people safe online, which raises difficult questions for platforms such as WhatsApp".

But they "do not believe that the legislation impacting private messaging will damage this encryption, as a variety of technologies are emerging that could allow for scanning on issues such as child sexual abuse material while retaining the privacy benefits afforded by end-to-end encryption".

They do note however that having Ofcom be the regulator and monitor isn't right, which seems to have been a bit under reported to my knowledge.

Funnily enough, they did not vote on this matter and I shall be finding out why.

My wallet has never been so happy (and sad at the same time)! My C220 is getting some new gear.

I'd say her reaction was pretty negative than charming. Her only example of its use is paparazzi which says it all really. It seemed to me she was mortified at the idea and I can understand why.

I keep seeing these Censorship laws all the time but something always gets in the way of it being put into law or practice. Is there anything different this time or is it another terrible attempt by our government to look like they're doing something instead of eating Michelin Star quality food for under £15 a meal subsidised by good people of this country?

For B&W negadoctor is very easy, nothing major with it other than setting white balance, then setting the film base colour and then adjusting D-MIN/D-MAX to the exposure you want. You can then leave it there or go crazy.

Colour is a bit more hands on and with negadoctor you really can get a nice starting base but it's much more manual. You need to make sure colour profiles and white balance match your scaner/dslr scan. The you need to set up the shadow casts and highlight colours. Much more manual just to then get a rather flat image with correct colours to your liking. Then it's more regular raw workflow so altering contrast and saturation but it's nothing too hard still. But it's 100% more hands on the using NLP (this is what I'm assuming you are using. Check YouTube see what you think.
