## Call Me! The **Call Me!** channel point redemption will make a real phone ring and read me your message! I have a video on [how this works](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpX0kccYS5g) you can watch as well. ## DECtalk If you cheer more than 100 bits your message will be read by a real DECtalk on stream! If you want to know more on how to use the DECtalk you can read [the manual](https://archive.org/details/manualzilla-id-5637481). It has many different voices and control options that can even be used to make it sing! Command Aliases: - **%p**: [:phoneme arpabet speak on] ## Byte Break The **Byte Break** channel point redemption will have me take a 5 minute break from the stream to look at any issue of Byte Magazine of your choosing. I have original copies of [every issue](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lU537upx3c), If you want to see what is in them, [this site](https://vintageapple.org/byte/) has scans of all of them and you can tell me which issue and page you want me to check out.

## Internet Connection My office internet is a T-Mobile 5G router, which is not great as you would expect and has some problems. But it sure beats paying Cox hundreds more for worse service speeds. ## Cameras - Main's: 2x Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k's - Webcam: Logitech Brio 4k - Photos: Nikon D5300 ## Face Tracking I am using an OBS extension called [Face Tracker]( https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/face-tracker.1294/) that crops, pans, and zooms the image by following my face. It does this with minor success but so far seems worth it. ## EE Tools - Soldering Iron: Metcal MX-500 - DMMs: Fluke 287 & HP 34401A - PSUs: Different HP 663X series units & BK 1711 - Scope: BK 20MHz Analog & HP 16500C Logic Mainframe ## Linux I use Kubuntu on all my computers. Whatever was the current version at the time I set it up. I'm not interested in trying other distros, Ubuntu is fine but Gnome 3 is not. So Kubuntu is my sweet spot.
