I have installed it and managed to figure out how to get the function tabs out of the middle of the page and in place somewhere or other each. Now I am having a problem with the label track - on the old version, you just placed your cursor where you wanted it and started typing. With this version, there seems to be some arcane multi-step process to get to type on the label track, and whatever I did for the first label doesn't seem to work when I try to type the second one on the same track. Tried searching the Help and found nothing pertinent yet. Anybody know what to do? I'd love to be able to restore the simple method, as I do a lot of labelling on the fly. -- -- Frieda Werden, Series Producer WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service email: wings at wings.org and wingsproducers at yahoo.com Facebook news feed: https://www.facebook.com/wingsradio To contribute funds: https://www.paypal.me/wingsradio websites: www.wings.org (historic) New site being rebuilt at: wingsradio.org/wordpress Older editions gradually being archived here (choose year for sorting): https://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22WINGS%3A+Women%E2%80%99s+International+News+Gathering+Service%22&sort=titleSorter From mike at brownbroadcast.com Sat Jul 11 11:59:23 2020 From: mike at brownbroadcast.com (Michael D.

However, I just happened across this post on Quora from an electronics engineer, who explains why that's not likely to work: Kevin Rome ? Updated December 12, 2019 BS Electronics & Computer Engineering, The College and University Experience (Graduated 1996) Why are the FM radio chips in most cell phones disabled? All phones have them, but in most (but not all) phones they are disabled. Why? And why install them if you are just gonna disable them? Just to be clear, it?s usually the WiFi chips that have FM tuners built in to them; such as those by Qualcomm, Intel, etc. Both of those companies incorporated the tuner in the Integrated Circuit before supplying them to the phone manufacturers to use. So, it isn?t really a matter of ?why install them?. Instead, it?s a matter of purchasing an ?off the shelf? product that just did more than they needed it to. It didn?t really cost the chip maker anything to add. But having one production line probably saved them money versus having to make multiple versions. That said, adding FM functionality would have required design changes to the phones. The way those chips are wired in would likely need to be changed too, in order to take advantage of the FM tuner. Also, a tuner is only part of what you need for a functional FM radio. You also need an appropriate antenna. FM antennae are longer than what?s required for the much higher WiFi and/or cellular frequencies. That fact alone would impact the design of modern phones. Some FM devices used the earphone cable as the antenna. But now, more than ever, people are trending towards Bluetooth audio solutions. The simple fact is, these smart phones are most functional with internet connectivity. Whether that be through WiFi or the cellular network. As long as you have that connectivity, you?ll have access to most stations through streaming; even stations outside whatever region you?re in. If you happen to be ?offline?, our phones can store thousands of songs too. I?d consider the FM radio being disabled a minor trade off for a sleeker design. -- Frieda Werden, Series Producer WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service www.wings.org From polemics17 at gmail.com Tue Jul 21 12:04:43 2020 From: polemics17 at gmail.com (theresa mitchell) Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2020 12:04:43 -0700 Subject: [grc] Disabled FM chips in cel phones In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: My FM receiver was disabled until I "jailbroke" the thing out of Sprint.

When I replace the phone, I'm disabling the apps and the sim card, and using it as an FM radio--far more interesting these days than canned stuff. Maybe I'll just pull the coltan out and use it to enhance other antennas. best, T On Tue, Jul 21, 2020 at 4:22 AM Frieda Werden via grc wrote: > There has been some discussion in Canada about trying to get FM chips in > phones enabled.

It's annoying to set up, but it results in the Big Players (yahoo, google, microsoft, etc.) accepting email from your server. I could help you set it up if you'd like. But first some questions: Are you running a listserv (like this here GRC list)? Or are you creating emails to send to a list of people? Or something else? If running a listserv, I'm not sure what to suggest. I'm sure there are lots of email listserv tools out there. If creating email to send to lists of people, I can heartily recommend using Proton Mail (protonmail.com), and Hey (hey.com). Proton Mail is based in Switzerland and is a highly secure and widely recognized email provider. Proton Mail has a free tier, but I recommend paying the ?48 per year for the "Plus" tier. Proton Mail also lets you bring your own domain (like "wings.org") to their service. I have done that with my business email (dklann at broadcastool.com); that feature is available at the "Professional" tier. More pricing and descriptions at https://protonmail.com/pricing "Hey" is a new email service started by some folks from Chicago who are ultra sensitive to peoples' privacy and security concerns. It's the same group who started the online collaboration service Basecamp. Hey does not have a free tier, but their paid service costs $99 per year. One of the things that's intriguing about Hey to me is that they turn the idea of email organization on its head and give users more control over how your email is presented to you. More details at https://hey.com/how-it-works/ I've only recently heard about Hey (and I just signed up for the 14-day trial to see how well it works), and I'm a happy and satisfied Proton Mail user. I have no connection to either of these organizations other than, as I mentioned, I'm a satisfied Proton Mail user.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi, everyone. Thanks for your responses about downloading Making Contact. Paul Bame: The doc for curl (and wget) says that robots.txt is ignored, and that seems to be the case in my testing. David Klann: I want to automate the download process, which means the program file name has to be something that can be predicted. The Audioport links don't look like that's the case. We do have a membership with Audioport and once I get our credentials I'll explore what is available there. Carl Etnier: Thanks, that sounds the most promising. I'll check to see who at our station has a Pacifica userid, and track down your presentation. I did some more research, and it appears the RadioProject website is using the Incapsula product to control access to the files. Incapsula inserts a script in the web link and requires you to go through that to get to the thing you want. There are hack=y ways around the script, but none that work reliably.

Automating for URLs that change in seemingly random ways (and not by date, for example) is challenging. I have written a downloader app for the Rivendell automation system that ingests audio obtained via unpredictable RSS URL's (like those at Audioport).

Earlier in the year (Jan/Feb) we were using RDCatch to download the file with a predictable name from the RadioContent site.

Message-ID: <78e76638-82db-6198-1184-037c77b0ae03@effectivedefense.org> Hello, All: Might you have any interest in having help producing a special on election integrity tailored to your audience? I'm working with Mac Heller of the American Issues Initiative (americanissuesinitiative.com), who produced the movie "Rigged: The Voter Suppression Playbook" (https://www.riggedthefilm.com/) and others to produce a special on election integrity to air on KKFI.org, August 13, 7-8 PM Central. This is a major issue in Missouri this year: If you want to vote absentee, you have to get your ballot notarized. And Missouri Republican incumbents are trying to overturn a "Clean Missouri" constitutional amendment for a nonpartisan redistricting procedure that got 62 percent of the vote in 2018. One Republican incumbent said Clean Missouri would be devastating to Republicans. They have 71 percent of the Missouri state legislature in spite of the fact that only 47 percent of the electorate identify as "Republican or lean Republican" (vs. 38 percent "Democrat or lean Democratic"). Without gerrymandering, Republicans could lose that partisan advantage. This broadcast will mix the nationwide material with information specific to Missouri and Kansas, the primary listening audience of KKFI. I plan to offer this to Sprouts. However, if any of you are interested, you could either carry this live OR I could work with you to help you produce something similar but tailored to your audience. Comments?

For the August 13 broadcast I mentioned, I plan to cut that to 20 minutes or so, merge with interviews with other experts and then follow that with a half-hour virtual panel discussion among local people from groups like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the League of Women Voters (LWV), who are working to defeat voter suppression and fraudulent election integrity measures in our listening area. Mac said that a primary thrust of their current work is arranging virtual showings of the film followed by a panel with some of his people talking with people in the local sponsoring group(s). KKFI and one other organization here in Kansas City did that just over 2 months ago. It was done as a local fundraiser. KKFI and the other co-sponsor split a few hundred dollars. It wasn't much money, but it was something. And it raised the profile of this issue as well as KKFI and the other co-sponsor. If you might be interested in doing something like this, go to: https://www.riggedthefilm.com/ ... or write to Mac Heller . More later. Spencer Graves p.s. I'm convinced that our democracy would not be under attack in this way if the so-called liberal media actually took the time to do some serious reporting on election integrity and other issues. Instead, they may repeat Trump's sound bites but without asking for the opinions of any serious expert and especially without confronting people like Hans von Spakovsky for his "expert" testimony in Fish v. Kobach, which the judge described by saying he was an advocate, not an expert, and his testimony was misleading.
