Hey, if you would be so kind as to fix all the PDF links to engineering details on your site as well as linking to the patent.. you might get responses.

Can you share some of these protocols? I’m curious as to how I should approach these same issues!

I like to think of it as “we didn’t fall out of the trees all that long ago, in evolutionary terms!”

Are you able to pull upcoming titles? All I want is a weekly/monthly list of books by authors I've ready which are coming out, and I've not been able to find it or to build it.

You can get an RSS feed from https://bookfeed.io with authors you want to track. Been using it for years at this point :-)

My current issue in this space is the win11/outlook transition, confusion about connecting all of their accounts with Microsoft online accounts, and new outlook simply not working with our imap setup. (Your imap username must be your email address, and our setup is not that)

What’s the best classic old school imap email client for windows these days?

Almost this same exact thing happened with my parents last week. The only thing is that MacOS' remote desktop seems to work inconsistently. Sometimes it sends the permissions request immediately and sometimes it takes a while. Or the person on the other end says OK but the approval never goes through.

When it works it's fantastic though. Ditto for FaceTime screen sharing.

I find that doing a FaceTime audio call and having them answer on the device.. the requesting screen sharing makes it work every time.

If you do a FaceTime video call they can screen share from inside the call.. but it’s more steps for them.

Ethernet and rsync… or an app like Superduper.
