Pi.BerkeleyLUG: Meeting tomorrow 10.16.22



Meeting Sunday 11 am till about 2pm 
In-person at SoDoI coffee shop in the Durant/Channing Mall.  
And on-line at meet.jit.si/Pi.BekeleyLUG 

No special topic or agenda 

Come and bring your projects or come to just socialize. 

I had some trouble earlier with a ram upgrade on my Thinkpad.  
I think maybe I just needed it to sit for a bit on first boot with  
much larger ram.  I think the upgrade was at a regular LUG 
meeting and I got frustrated.  Anyways apologies to Rick Moen who 
was on-line and my only working machine was a Pi laptop with a 
bluetooth headset.  I couldn't figure out how to get bluetooth to 
see a headset with mic instead of just a speaker.  

Last LUG Aaron was messing with a Chromebook that he found.  
I'd be interested to know of any updates on that.  The week before 
I'd seen Peter Mui at Circuit Launch for the Robo-car races and he 
mentioned schools have piles of chromebooks that they just throw 
away because they are outside of support.  Anyways I have put Linux 
on a chromebook before and it works pretty well though the 
hardware tends to be underpowered.  

Also I have looked into GPS  a little after a comment from Bob.  
I think he was talking about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_GPS
When I was web searching I didn't know what that was called and happened onto 
RTK first: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_kinematic_positioning 
Back before the pandemic the Robocar race had an outside event and the cars 
used an augmented GPS which I now think was probably like that RTK.  

Sorry for the late message.  Just rely on Pi Berkeley meeting happening no matter 
what every third Sunday.  Even when I was in Portugal Michael was there (thanks Mike) and I was connected on-line from Porto, Portugal.  

See you there, Thomas
