00:18:03 Lawrence Patterson: The different colours are pretty plastic pieces and probably not based on any standards, other than being artistic. 00:18:26 Chris Taylor: 1669 Apollo guidance computer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1J2RMorJXM 00:22:28 Jocelyn Doire: nearly 12,000 developers on GitHub contributed to Ingenuity’s software via open source. (…) Today, we want to make the invisible visible. So, we have worked with JPL to place a new Mars 2020 Helicopter Mission badge on the GitHub profile of every developer who contributed to the specific versions of any open source projects and libraries used by Ingenuity. https://github.blog/2021-04-19-open-source-goes-to-mars/ 00:23:39 Chris Taylor: Facebook is stalking you https://grahamcluley.com/how-much-facebook-stalks-you-on-the-internet/ 00:24:30 Chris Taylor: Microsoft Word tips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxgheItBIzQ 00:25:18 Tom Trottier: Dark mode saves battery on (AM)OLED screens! 00:26:27 Chris Taylor: COVID alert app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.gc.hcsc.canada.stopcovid 00:27:49 Chris Taylor: CBC listen https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nobexinc.cbcradio.rc 00:28:55 Chris Taylor: Atomic clock https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=partl.atomicclock 00:29:54 Chris Taylor: NTP servers https://nrc.canada.ca/en/certifications-evaluations-standards/canadas-official-time/network-time-protocol-ntp time.nrc.ca time.chu.nrc.ca time1.google.com time2.google.com time3.google.com time4.google.com pool.ntp.org 00:30:57 Natalie: So, I don't have to only rely on the CBC radio's 1:00 p.m. tone?

GPS satellite have to make adjustment because they are moving and also of earth gravity. 00:40:49 Tom Trottier: It's all relative 00:41:07 Alan German: Lawrence - I believe that the USB colours actually do mean something. But what...? 00:41:41 Natalie: I saw this about USB colours:https://tech-fairy.com/what-is-the-meaning-of-the-different-usb-port-colors-blue-teal-blue-yellow-red-black/ 00:43:40 Tom Trottier: https://nerdschalk.com/how-to-play-music-on-zoom/ 00:44:56 Lawrence Patterson: Natalie, thank you for that article, and it does prove both points. As the article notes in its example the colours do have meanings, yet it also states the following "While it’s often easy to figure out the USB ports version just from its color, it’s more of a convention to color the ports that way, and is not a requirement of the standard. A yellow port may be a USB 3.0 port. Also, some USB 3.0 ports are actually black.". 00:45:26 Eldon Gaw: re the other time signals...I'm guessing the noon day gun on Major's Hill park is not so much in vogue too. :-) 00:45:57 Tom Trottier: fwiw, if you are using music files on your own computer, Foobar2000 can measure and normalize tracks 00:48:31 Lawrence Patterson: And my cynicism is based on experience in finding out that the colour yellow didn't really mean USB 3.0 or that the port was "always on". You had to check the manufacturer specs to confirm. 00:48:51 Jocelyn Doire: I wonder if using Audacity could help in equalizing the sound level 00:49:38 Jocelyn Doire: https://www.audacityteam.org/ 00:49:40 Tom Trottier: in foobar200, it's called "replay gain" 00:51:23 Tom Trottier: How about going across to Gatineau? 00:52:34 Tom Trottier: I don't think u need an OHIP card 00:57:40 Tom Trottier: https://nerdschalk.com/how-to-play-music-on-zoom/ 00:58:38 Tom Trottier: oops - https://globalnews.ca/news/7733557/ottawa-pharmacies-astrazeneca-covid-vaccine-list/ 01:00:18 Tom Trottier: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/vaccine-Iocations 01:05:16 Jocelyn Doire: in Québec, if you already had COVID-19, then they don't give a second shot, they consider they you are fully vaccinated 01:05:26 Tom Trottier: ugh 01:06:18 micheline: I heard that the blood clots are associated with low platelet counts, which means that the blood clots are not treatable with blood thinners. 01:07:07 Tom Trottier: Ottawa covid stats https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjoiNmQ3YzRiZGEtYTAyNC00YjgyLWEwNGMtMjQ4YWJjY2JmZGVlIiwidCI6ImRmY2MwMzNkLWRmODctNGM2ZS1hMWI4LThlYWE3M2YxYjcyZSJ9&wmode=transparent 01:10:40 Coreen: Thanks Bob. 01:10:47 Wayne H: Vaccine Hunters Canada - https://vaccinehunters.ca/ 01:11:33 Michelle: Thanks Bob.
