there's only one thing i miss about the old phones and its when you want to end a call and 'gently caress you' you just smacked it closed. it made a good sound. the call was over.

now you get to make an angry face at the phone, stab at the End Call button and they hear it going 'thud thud thud thud' as you miss, and then the call ends.

no, not until the next firmware update. current workaround is using the 60 Skype world minutes a month your office 365 subscription gets you.

Yesterday one of the headset speakers in my stereo motorcycle helmet sound system failed. I was pricing a replacement - $69, Ouch! - Then a light bulb came on in my head and  I remembered the soldering class I had taken a few months ago at NoiseBridge; where the demo project was a pair of broken headphones - Duh. Thanks NoiseBridge! I just save $69 + I got that warm "I did it" feeling.

looks like they're holding steady in terms of funding, assuming nobody's cooking the books

however, their lease comes to an end sometime this year, so rent might go up

they paid for the electrical stuff because they were responsible for most of it in the first place. doocracy plus a bunch of electronics hobbyists hackers who think theyre just as good as real professionals and don't want to bother asking for help or even permission equals a rats nest deathtrap of cables and half-working gadgets. these are the kinds of people who see that the elevator is broken and tell the landlord "you don't need to call your elevator maintenance guy, just give us permission to gently caress with it and we'll have it fixed in no time at all"

on a related note, if you ever pay a visit to nb, take the loving stairs

quote:

I just spoke with Henry about the elevator and the two problems we know it has. He checked with his father and they are fine with us fixing minor elevator problems. I mentioned that it was possible, if unlikely, that we might uncover or even create an issue we couldn't handle, and in that case we'd still need to get them to have someone come fix it. Henry understood that and explained that they do have an elevator maintenance person who normally comes to fix it when necessary. I and others have had the panel off, and the problem with the 3rd floor button is a simple mechanical issue that a part has broken. :frogsiren:I fixed it with duct tape temporarily, but it should be fixed more better soon.:frogsiren: I can do this maybe Thursday evening, if nobody else gets to it first. The other issue seems to be that the 3rd floor door closed sensors are finicky. A good oiling of the gate hinges, screwing in loose screws, and general cleaning might mitigate this considerably. Alternately it might need to be hosed with more. Again I'll take a whack at this eventually if nobody else does first.
