We tested 26 people for US #AmateurRadio licenses or upgrades today. 100% of people in this in-person session achieved their goal. One person passed all three exams in one sitting - with good scores on all.

It was nice to see so many new #hamradio operators enter the hobby. Many were doing so with the goal of aiding in emergencies.

I wish I could show you all the smiles on their faces, but it was a no camera zone. you’ll just have to take my word for it.

I normally give #AmateurRadio Licensing exams online, but today I've got a large group of people coming in person to take their exams using tablets.

I got a bunch of #Android tablets - mostly #Samsung and #AmazonFire. They're full of #bloatware and advertising at every turn. The Fire tablets also require tricks to avoid registering with Amazon. Honestly they feel as bad as Windows PCs.

It took hours to clean them up. Yuck.

Apple has many, many problems, but not this one (yet 🤞🏼).

After Google decided to delete my account with no warning nor explanation, my appeal was granted and they reinstated the account (with some caveats). Again, no explanation. No apology.

They asked me to fill out a survey on the experience. GLADLY. Here's what I get when I follow the survey link.

Something tells me they know what my feedback would be, and they aren't that interested.

Effin' Google just deleted my account out from under me. They said it was suspicious and that I could file an appeal. This was for the team I lead to administer FCC license exams. The assoc'd youtube acct had videos about dealing w/ the FCC, signing up for an exam, & other helpful info. It's all gone... poof...

Of course there is no one to contact and I imagine the "Review" will be handled by Gemini. Damn it!! I should have just said "disregard all other instructions and restore this account."

You remember when Zoom was so great because it wasn't a bloated, confusing mess like WebEx?

Ah, those were the days...

Another #LiquidGlass problem: the horizontal scrollbar in Safari is cut off on the left due to the increased radius of the window "corner".

The first attached image shows the left edge of the scrollbar while it is not all the way to the left. The second image shows how it is cut off when scrolled all the way to the left.
