Ich habe mein Multiroom Sound System, basierend auf einem rPi Netzwerk, um eine Funktion erweitert. Nun kann man als Eingang auch einen Chromecast ansprechen.
Die allgemeine Beschreibung habe ich unter HomeNetwork aktualisiert.
Der Setup dazu sieht so aus:
Handy –> Chromecast –> HDMI Splitter –> USB SoundCard –> rPI –> WaveIn Plugin of SqueezeBox –> SqueezeLight music clients
Auf der SqueezeBox muss man zuerst das Wavein Plugin installieren.
Unter Linux dann folgenden Befehl eingeben, um herauszufinden, welches Gerät (die USB Soundkarte) man ansprechen muss:
pi@max2play:~ $ arecord -l **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 1: Device [USB Audio Device], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Bei mir ist es also das Gerät 1, subdevice 0.
Nun auf der SqueezeBox einen neuen Favoriten mit einem beliebigen Namen anlegen und bei der URL folgendes konfigurieren (wavin:plughw:[Gerät],[subdevice]):
wavin:plughw:1,0
Auf dem mobilen Gerät kann jede beliebige Applikation verwendet werden, die an ein Chromcast Gerät streamen kann, wie z.B. TuneIn, BubbleUPnP, VRadio, Youtube,…
Wie man sieht kann man das eigene Multiroom sound System immer noch besser machen 😉
Many companies host training programs from time to time to ensure that their workers stay up-to-date with the latest trends in the industry. Even self-employed people enroll in online bootcamps for job training programs that will help them improve their skills. This goes to show that change is always coming in the global workforce and only those who follow the train of change will remain relevant. Right now, some skills are in higher demand than others. Following the trend, it’s still easy to predict which skills are most likely to be in high demand in the next few decades.
1. Financial Planning
There will always be a high demand for financial experts. If you have an eye for finances, you should consider specializing to improve your chances of getting a job. The best part is that financial experts are needed in every industry. Even non-profit organizations hire them to keep track of their expenses and flag financial irregularities. The job opportunities for financial planners are incredible now and in the future. You can become a financial adviser, financial consultant, or financial analyst. Right now, one of the highest paying jobs for financial experts is the position of chief financial officer. You can get over $130,000 as a CFO in the United States.
2. Mobile App Development Skills
Users of mobile technology are increasing daily and mobile app developers are needed to make these apps functional. All the applications on your phone and tablet were designed by mobile app developers and the demand for these experts will increase significantly as time passes. To become a mobile app developer, you can start by joining an online bootcamp. Within a few months, you can learn how to become a mobile app developer from a reliable website. If you don’t want to dive into app development, you can work on becoming an app designer instead. There are courses for app designers on Bootcamprankings.com. Mobile app developers make up to $124,487 yearly in the United States.
3. Sales Skills
There is always going to be work to do in sales. It doesn’t matter how advanced technology becomes. As long as products and services continue to be developed, there will be a high demand for people with excellent sales skills. As a salesperson, you need to be persuasive and charismatic. You should be able to convince buyers that the products and services you’re selling to them are better than anything their competitors can offer. With time, you can advance from an entry-level sales position to a sales leadership position. If you secure a leadership role in sales, you can earn between $76,067 to $110,292 yearly in the United States.
4. Analytical Reasoning Skills
Analytical reasoning is a transferable skill that will come in handy across industries. It is the ability to recognize patterns and assess data that others don’t naturally see. People with analytical reasoning skills can work under pressure and power through problems quickly. As stated above, it is a transferable skill so you’ll have many job opportunities in law enforcement, business, and data science. The yearly pay depends on the sector and the job description.
5. Communication Skills
Communication is another important skill that you need in the future workspace. Those who have effective communication skills are engaged listeners. They tend to do more listening than talking. This isn’t just limited to listening with your ears, you also need to use your eyes and take note of the person’s emotions and display empathy. You also need to know how to converse with people in and out of the office. Perfecting your non-verbal communication skills will also make you more effective at communicating.
Bottomline
If you want to prepare for the future of work, you need to be willing to build your skills from time to time. The five skills listed above will be important for the foreseeable future but this doesn’t mean that they will remain relevant forever. In the next 50 years, some other skills might become more important than the ones listed above. So, the most important skill any worker should have is the ability to adapt to change.
In some circumstances the question is, if you are born or not born. That’s quite important, isn’t it?
The story goes like that in Germany.
An Indian couple is working in Germany since a few years. They of course have Indian passports and an legitimation to work in Germany.
Some years back they married traditionally in India, with their lovely families organising and joining the beautiful celebration.
And of course this is documented with an Indian marriage certificate.
And based on all that history, they are happy to pay the not so low taxes in Germany, are in the respective tax classes based on their marriage status.
After some time their marriage love affair results in a cute (of course :-)) baby boy. He’s healthy and the parents are happy although they are quite busy as it’s their first child.
And as it’s the habbit in Indian culture (and not only there) they want to show the baby to all the relatives in India. For this purpose of travelling everybody needs a valid passport, so also the baby boy.
Should be no problem, isn’t it?
So let’s go to the community center and get a passport for him. For getting a passport you need any certificate that you are existing and that you are the person you are claiming to be. But he does not have such a document. Means if you are getting a passport for the first time, you need a birth certificate.
It’s quite clear that the cute baby is existing. He’s shouting out loud and producing plenty of smells and other brownish looking stuff. So philosophically speaking „he’s producing something, so he exists.“.
Certificates
What do we need now for the birth certificate?
A baby
A mother
If existing, a father
A marriage certificate, if married
Location of birth
Date of birth
Marriage contract
So everything should be alright and no problem, you think? Born or not born is out of question.
Not really. Everything is alright except the marriage certificate. I honestly don’t understand why we need a marriage certificate at all. But also that is existing, in Indian language though. And this certificate was fine enough for their work certificates and defining the tax classes. But now the trouble starts. The community (Standesamt) is not accepting the marriage certificate, altough it was accepted by the foreigner office (Ausländerbehörde) before. A marriage certificate must be authenticated by the German embassy in India, the communuity claims. The costs for that are about 500€ and some weeks (around 3-4 months) of waiting time in depression.
The good thing is that the baby boy got a stay permit in the mean time, and he’s even allowed to work (no joke!).
Es wird von unserer Gesellschaft immer noch ignoriert, daß der Alkohol ein schleichendes Gift ist. Der direkte Effekt ist schnell sichtbar, aber der langfristige Effekt ist nicht auf den ersten Blick zu erkennen.
In dem Podcast wird das sehr schön zusammengefasst.
Jeder sollte sich die folgenden Fragen stellen:
Habe ich schon mal nachgedacht, meinen Alkohol Konsum zu reduzieren?
War ich schon jemals beleidigt, wenn mich jemand auf meinen Alkohol Konsum angesprochen hat?
Habe ich mich schon einmal schuldig gefühlt, weil ich zu viel Alkohol getrunken habe?
Brauche ich Alkohol am Morgen, um in die Gänge zu kommen?
Wenn du 2-mal oder öfter mit „Ja“ geantwortet hast, hast Du ein Problem.
There is no need for another heart rate measuring device as Google taps your phone cameras to measure it.
In close future I assume that more and more health functionalities will move into mobile devices. And of course these devices must not always be smart phones. On the other hand I assume as well that it must be possible to incorporate the data into any kind of digital data store.
You can also detect Corona already with your phone and an AI. I’m not sure why these technical possibilities are not pushed in these times of a pandemic. Sure, it will not solve everything but it could contribute to detect more infections earlier.
Data protection is very sensitive in this area. So I’m looking forward how the different approaches will be.
Health is important
I don’t want to imagine what else can be detected and tracked when Google taps your phone cameras maybe also for other activities.
