Aren't faxes accepted as valid copies of originals in legal situations, unlike emails? I thought that was why people still kept them around. It's not so difficult to maintain a fax. My scanner / printer combination comes with one. I think the issue isn't so much the fax machine it's the phone line.

Yes, in pretty much all jurisdictions a faxed signature is as good as an original.

Which is a bit odd since you can scan something with a signature (or copy paste it into it), then fax it directly from your computer. Technically it would be a fax but it's the same as a pdf , or at least as digital.

If it comes down to litigation, the signature itself can be contested if needed - that's why things like notaries and their logbooks exist. A faxed signature isn't infallible evidence that something was agreed to, but it's good enough for most situations

Anyway have this:  I've got two GPUs in my current computer and a variety of connections and limitations. One card I can do two DVI plus Displayport, or one DVI, HDMI and Displayport. the other is one HDMI and 3 display ports. Woohoo now the fun begins on getting all 5 monitors working. Two monitors are DVI, one is HDMI and 2 are VGA. It's gonna be fun with the adaptors I have on hand!

DVI can do VGA with a simple adaptor, DP can do DVI and HDMI can go die in a fire.

A lot of video cards can do DP->HDMI with a simple passive adapter (on a number of ports, at least). The cards will recognize that a passive adapter is connected and then generate the HDMI signals internally, IIRC

Anyway I got it sorted with an active DP to DVI and a few DVI to VGA adaptors (had problems with the various DVI cables/adaptors that didn't play nice). Anyway have a nice video about General Magic, an Apple spinoff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SapdjtWZh8o

Shillary posted:Yes, in pretty much all jurisdictions a faxed signature is as good as an original. Goddammit. Again, in pretty much all jurisdictions an electronic record is as good as a non-electronic record. Faxes are not privileged in a legal sense over any other form of signature. The Uniform Electronic Transaction Act is clear: https://www.cga.ct.gov/2000/rpt/2000-R-1076.htm quote:This section contains the act's fundamental principles, namely that the medium in which a record, signature, or contract is created, presented, or retained does not affect its legal significance. All of the act's other rules serve these principles and tend to answer basic legal questions about the use of electronic records and signatures. The UETA is the law in 47 states and in the Federal system.

You can always just disable the audio devices you're not using and then never worry about having to uncheck boxes again.

Well poo poo, I went down the rabbit hole on phones, and have two older mobile phones on the way for about $100.  Nokia N97 (not the mini) - will use this as my daily. The physical keyboard and landscape aspect are great. It's old and runs Maemo not Android. But it's more than I need for a phone/messaging device. I had one of these on launch day and was sadly stolen in a somewhat funny story I won't get into now.  Nokia N900 - always wanted one. They were marketed as hackable by Nokia themselves and the idea of dual booting Android and a full Linux Distro are appealing to me. If only its slideout keyboard was on a pivot like the N97.

The N900 has a strong nerd cult following, because it was the last phone of its kind. Physical keyboard, good-sized screen, able to run a pretty much stock full-fat Linux distro.
