Good morning folks. I’m in the market for some home monitoring cameras (of which there are many) but there are several IOT companies with AI capabilities (Wyze/Kami/Imou) does anyone have a view about those platforms, their products or the overall topic of smart home/IOT/AI?

The top ranked Linux Distros today are: MX Linux, EndeavourOS, Manjaro, Mint, Pop! OS, Ubuntu, Debian, elementary, Garuda, and Fedora. Help your Digital Neighbors learn by telling us:

Which Distro are you looking at, or do you like the best, and why?

By the way, something I forgot to mention earlier. FOSS (or Φως) in Greek translates to “Light” (as in luminance). Interesting, no? 😊

Looking for help to get my airpods paired to ubuntu 21.04

So Linux Mint is different than the Raspberry mint?

Jeffrey - I’m loving it when I see comments in chats on Rumble and elsewhere talking about and sharing your channel! I shared your chat today too! 👍

Can anyone suggest what to do with the fan running overtime on my Macbook 13" 2008 converted into LinuxMint Cinnamon?

SPECIAL NOTICE On September 16, 2021, Michael A. Sussmann was indicted by a federal grand jury for lying to the FBI about the capacity in which he was providing allegations to the FBI. Specifically, Sussmann stated falsely that he was not doing his work ... "for any client." According to the indictment, such statements were intentionally false and misleading because Sussman was acting on behalf of specific clients, namely, a U.S. technology industry executive, a U.S. Internet company, and the Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign.

Friends, we will now resume our regular programming 😁

Tonight's call will be recorded for anyone who cannot be present live (don't worry, you can play it back later!!)

Best wishes to you, Patriots, as you set out to discover the very exciting world of Free and Open Source technology. If you, like many other Americans who love their country, are ready to leave the spying and abuses of the "big tech" Windows/MacOS/Android operating systems, Linux is Digital Freedom!
