Hi sudoers: There’s a Toshiba 55l621U 55” 4K TV in sudoroom I’d like to put in service as the new jitsi and discord telepresence monitor. But it’s currently not working: it flashes on briefly and then goes out. Normally this would indicate a power supply issue, but I’ve done a little online research and some people online claim the problem might be a firmware issue, e.g. see https://forums.tomsguide.com/threads/toshiba-55l621u-wont-turn-on-properly.… Can you do some more online sleuthing and see if you come up with a plan of attack for fixing this TV? And let’s try to put our heads together tonight at sudoroom and get this puppy working: I’ve already got a rolling stand for it. Sincerely, -Peter

North doorway entrance to Omni

by Jake Watters

We've been asked by the new building owners to start using the other doors to enter the building! I'm talking about the double doors on the north side, which open onto the sidewalk of 48th street. We need to fix the outdoor light above that entryway, and clean the area maybe with a power washer, and make the whole doorway more inviting. Volunteers? There is a new web link to buzz those doors open, please email me if you don't have that link yet! -jake

Updated the SudoRoom calendars - are we around Thanksgiving week?

by Romy Ilano

Are we around Thanksgiving week? i updated the sudoroom lu.ma calendars https://lu.ma/sudoroom will be adding themes, they seem to help a bit with vibe. Have we thought about promoting ourselves as a low cost hackerspace? I'm hearing prices for similar (though more organized and cleaner hackerspace =P) and the memberships are running $150-200 minimum. Which is fair! just that we are a nice alternative and are community oriented. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Fwd: Roof Renovation Starting TODAY

by Paige P

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Valerie Jameson <valerie(a)thecalli.org> Date: Tue, Oct 29, 2024, 9:08 AM Subject: Roof Renovation Starting TODAY To: omnidelegates <omnidelegates(a)googlegroups.com> Cc: Patrik D'haeseleer <patrikd(a)gmail.com>, <cultlabsboard(a)googlegroups.com> Hi everyone, After some uncertainty the roofers arrived today at 8:30 am and are starting on the 48th street corner. Closest to CCL and the disco room. They will be moving clockwise throughout the building in sections. Most of the tear down is happening in the next 72 hours and the entire project is slated to last two weeks. They will wrap up daily by 4-5 pm. They have a 4 person crew : Cleaver is the Forman, Marcelo, (another person) and David as the Project Manager. They are using the neighboring properties' parking spaces to fit their equipment. I have yet to speak with their Project Manager this morning, but will get end of day updates starting today. *Roof work preparation:* - Avoid parking on Shattuck - Discourage folks from hanging out outside - Remove hanging items and things on walls - Be cautious and move items that are stored too close to one another that can crash -bump against each other due to unavoidable vibration during tear off - Consider wrapping items in a protective material. - Secure items in bins/boxes that are sensitive to dust - Place tarps or plastic sheeting to avoid debris and dust falling on personal property - Consider wearing an K95 grade mask or higher to avoid inhaling any toxins from chipped paint etc. I will be on site early today and tomorrow to offer support to groups that need it. Feel free to reach out to me on Slack or email to get in touch. -- *Valerie Jameson* (she/ella) Property Manager - 4799 Shattuck Avenue <https://www.google.com/maps/search/4799+Shattuck+Avenue?entry=gmail&source=g> *Collective Action & Land Liberation Institute (CALLI) * CALLI Website <https://www.thecalli.org/> East Bay Permanent Real Estate Cooperative Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/ebprec> | X <https://www.x.com/ebprec> | Instagram <https://www.instagram.com/eb.prec> | YouTube <https://www.youtube.com/ebprec> | LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/company/ebprec> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "omnidelegates" group.

we have to take down this image of Octavia Butler from our site

by Jake

This takedown request seems legit, and the link to our wordpress checks out to such an image. So we have to take the image down. It seems to have gone up in July. Here's the link https://sudoroom.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/image.jpeg maybe we can use a different picture of Octavia Butler instead. does anyone know how to take this image down from our site? -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2024 22:24:43 +0000 (UTC) From: Alice Arnold <TDN147293(a)phototakedown.com> Reply-To: Alice Arnold <alice(a)a2studio.org> To: info(a)sudoroom.org Cc: Alice Arnold <alice(a)a2studio.org> Subject: [sudo-info] Takedown Notice TDN147293 info(a)sudoroom.org VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL Reference: TDN147293 Date: October 28th, 2024 Dear Sir or Madam; My name is Alice Arnold.

Misfit Shine and other no-longer-supported wearables?

by Judy Tuan

I just found my old Misfit Shine, an activity tracker from around 10 years ago. All its apps appear to be down. Does anybody know how to decode bluetooth signals, maybe we can get step data off of the thing and start using it again? Does anyone know of a wiki or something of defunct fitness gadgets and their open-source life support? lf such projects exist in the world? Maybe there are things for really popular old fitness trackers but I don't think the Misfit Shine ever got much traction lol. I used to wear my Shine in a beautiful sacred-geometry-looking necklace peripheral and I'd check it kinda like a pocketwatch. It doesn't have a display, but it could tell you the time and your % progress to your daily step goal via tiny little LED dots around the edge. It is a svelte little thing. Swarovski even did a collab to make a crystal version plus sparkly bracelets for it. I was the target market for such a gadget and probably the only one. lol

StupidHacks 8.1!!!!!

by Ethan Hu

Hi all, Jake and I have been in talks for a while, and despite Berkeley room bookings being in the air still, could we confirm a time (or multiple) to bus over Stupid Hackathon attendees? Tentative site is: stupidhacks.csua.berkeley.edu and tentative date is November 17 (one-day for now, probably a sequel second semester that will be longer) Best Regards, -- Ethan Hu (he series) ASUC Senator 412 Eshleman Hall | Berkeley, CA 94720 Associated Students of the University of California <http://www.asuc.org> ethanhu(a)berkeley.edu
