@matigo Depends. the kid might be an optimist & conclude there’s a horse somewhere…
@matigo I tried it with Zoom, QuickTime and Jitsi Meet, the latter is web-based & did not detect the Epoccam. It's supposed to work with Skype, too.
I use it on my iPad Mini 5 & iPhone SE. It's useless on the iPad 5th gen & 7th gen iPod Touch because they have pathetic 1.2 MP FaceTime cameras.
on iPads, it only works properly on the Air 3, Mini 5 and newer Pros than the original 12.9-inchers because of that 1.2 MP FaceTime camera.
@variablepulserate I'm desperately waiting for the current round of lockdown (with its 5 km travel radius restriction) to end. I'll have a chance to visit a shop called Rob's British Butcher, some 30 km away.
This bloke is a misplaced Yorkshireman and makes fantastic sausages, about two dozen different varieties & pork pies in four different sizes: palm sized, hand sized, another about the diameter of a DVD plus the really big one that rivals a large wheel of cheese. Scottish square sausage in very spicy & very bland varieties. He also sells beverages, desserts, oat cakes, cheeses & bacon galore.
@variablepulserate Shortly after the First World War, when products like fresh meat were put on ration, pork and beef were in very short supply. So instead of the meaty loveliness that we know and love today, sausages were packed out with cereals, water and scraps. When these sausages were fried they had a tendency to pop, hiss, explode and burst…hence the name ‘banger’ was borne.
@matigo Since macOS 10.4.3, USB webcams haven't needed drivers, just plug & play. This one being a FireWire connection, I doubt there would be any drivers for the audio side. The iSight camera was discontinued in Dec 2006, had only been available since June 2003.
I found a use for the old iPhone SE. The Men’s Shed needs better, faster & cheaper internet: currently pay $50 for 365 days access to 7 GB prepaid using an old 3G/4G wifi router. When the data runs out, $50 more gets paid & another 7 GB is allocated.
But ADLI is a reseller of the dominant carrier’s 3G/4G & offers a cheaper approach. Twice per year it releases a $99 Super Pack, a prepaid service offering a SIM card & 15 GB data over 365 days. When the 15 GB Is used up, $60 buys $70 GB data that expires on the same day as the original 365 pack. If you renew the Super Pack within 24 hours of expiry, unused data up to 200 GB rolls over into the next year’s allotment.
One member generously donated the cost of the Super Pack, I supplied the iPhone, so there’s 15 GB of free internet for the Shed’s iMac to use whenever we’re allowed to reopen post-lockdown.
Plus, we no longer have to borrow other members’ phones to make calls as the Shed now has its own mobile phone number.
On his 70th birthday, a man was given a gift certificate from his wife. The certificate was for consultation with a well known therapist who was rumoured to have a simple cure for erectile dysfunction.
The husband made an appointment and saw the therapist. He was given a potion and, with a serious look on his face, the quack said, "This is powerful medicine. You take only teaspoonful, and then say: ‘1-2-3.' When you do, you will become more manly than you have ever been in your life, and you can perform for as long as you want."
The man thanked the therapist, and as he walked away, he turned and asked: "How do I stop the medicine from working?" "Your partner must say ‘1-2-3-4,' he responded, "but when she does, the medicine will not work again until the next full moon."
He was very eager to see if it worked so he went home, showered, shaved, took a spoonful of the medicine, and then invited his wife to join him in the bedroom. When she came in, he took off his clothes and said:
"1-2-3" . Immediately, he was the manliest of men.
His wife was also excited and began throwing off her clothes, and asked: "What was the 1-2-3 for ?"
And that is why we should never end our sentences with a preposition, because we could end up with a dangling participle.
