Google Podcasts might not be the quality you’re after, just like the YouTube replaygained audio…
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/11/16
Google Podcasts might not be what you’re after:
Podcast producers that are not too happy, saying that Google Play is going to downsample and re-encode podcasts down to a minimal 64k of audio quality. That is not good news. – Joe C. Hecht – Google+
Source: I sure am hearing a lot about Google embracing Podcasts, and how it is going to…
So just like on YouTube, Google seems to play the audio normalisation game again.

VidCast: Chromecast for the rest of the web
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/11/13
I know, friday 13, bla, bla, but this works great! VidCast: Chromecast for the rest of the web.
It works with: Vimeo, TED, and tons of other sites.
The first I tried is was a great half hour Devopsdays Amsterdam 2015 session “Leslie Hawthorn – Fear of Failing Fast: How to Avoid Sabotaging Your Success”
The easiest way is to drag the VidCast bookmarklet button to your bookmarks bar once, then for videos you want to watch:

LG Nexus 4 Screen Repair & Disassemble – YouTube
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/10/19
I needed to perform a LG Nexus 4 Screen Repair & Disassemble – YouTube.
Thanks FixEz.
Tools needed – see also the PDF Nexus 4 Disassembly Guide or Nexus 4 Motherboard Replacement – iFixit.:
- TTT-9004: SKU# 5-0013 Torx 5 screwdriver
- TTT-9007: SKU# 5-0016 Small Philips screwdriver
- TTT-9010: SKU# 5-0010 Plastic opening tools or SKU# 5-0007 Plastic Triangle Opening Tool
- TTT-9013: SKU# 5-0222 Spudger
- TTT-0921: SKU# 5-1370 Fine Tip Curved Tweezers
- Bow dryer or heat gun
Note that something SKU# 5-0721: 16-piece repair toolkit is a good start on this: it contains all but the blow dryer or heat gun.

Cool: Vysor screen sharing by Koush
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/08/25
Esc: Back button; F1: Menu button; Home: Home button.
Really really cool!
Vysor (by Koushik Dutta aka Koush) lets you not only share and control your Android device screen from your local Chrome browser, but also remotely to others having a Chrome browser with Vysor installed. And Vysor gives you full ADB access to your Android device.
Some links to get started:
- Chrome app (works on ChromeOS too): Vysor (Beta) – Chrome Web Store.
- Web site: Vysor.
- Videos at the bottom of this post.
- G+ announcement: Vysor Share Remote screen and ADB access….
- Reddit thread: Koush releases Vysor (beta) app for controlling Android phones from a computer : Android.
- Vysor Is The Newest (Early Beta) Android Project From Koush, Allows You To Control Your Phone From Chrome.
- Vysor is an interesting new way to control Android from your computer | Android Central.
To get started:
- Enable ADB on your Android phone.
- Connect your Android phone over USB to your computer.
- Start Vysor.
- Connect.
- Enjoy.
After connecting over ADB, Vysor sideloads the Android code to share both screen and input. So besides viewing your screen, you can then control it.
Of course your mouse works, including scrolling. And the keyboard for entering text.
There are also some special keys:
- Esc: Back button;
- F1: Menu button;
- Home: Home button.

Google thinks google.com is in German. How can I prevent that? +GoogleTranslate
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/08/22
This was a search for ISDN S0 bus: https://www.google.com/search?q=ISDN+S0+bus
Google thinks it is in German, but it is in English: even the html tag indicates it is in English:
<!doctype html><html itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/SearchResultsPage" lang="en"><head><meta content="/images/google_favicon_128.png" itemprop="image"><meta content="origin" id="mref" name="referrer">
I cannot change the page so nothing I can use from the suggestions in html – Why does Chrome incorrectly determine page is in a different language and offer to translate? – Stack Overflow.
Anybody knows what can I do to prevent this wrong guess?
Can anyone from +GoogleTranslate please step in?

Dropbox adds u2f support … if you connect to it via Chrome. Using FIDO U2F. Easy with Plug-Up foldable key.
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/08/21
I like this: the plug-up affordable FIDO U2F Security Key by HAPPLINK.
You could already use it for Google 2nd factor authentication (2FA) through Chrome. You can do this from your own applications for instance through the U2F reference implementation.
Now you can also as 2FA to DropBox, also through Chrome. And it is easy with the plug-up key (Thanks Kristian):
Uuuund… umgestellt. Das war ja einfach.

Es gibt andere Fido Token, die können mehr. Ich nehme dieses, das kostet fast nix und man kann die kaufen und verteilen wie Konfetti.
Or inside the Europe mainland, for instance in:

Start URL for searching my own posts and comments – via: Ronnie Bincer.
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/08/14
Thanks to Ronnie Bincer, here is my start URL to find back posts and comments I made:
- “Jeroen Wiert Pluimers” -inurl:JeroenPluimers site:plus.google.com.
- https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Jeroen+Wiert+Pluimers%22+-inurl%3AJeroenPluimers+site%3Aplus.google.com
Note that
- since my account is named and does not have an ID any more, I had to twiddle that URL a bit
- https://plus.google.com/100853746448364695376 is a throw away account for a place that plays HTTPS man-in-the-middle on everyone using their network.
